Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-Fourth: Puyi, the "stinky skin"

On November 10, 1931, the Jiangqiao Anti-Japanese War entered a critical moment. The Northeast Army and the Volunteer Army hoped that Zhang Xueliang would lead the army out of the customs, but Puyi was led by the Japanese like a dog. That evening, the "dragon body" of the last emperor, curled up in the trunk of a sports car, left Tianjin Jingyuan, where he had lived for seven years.As soon as I got out of the gate, I bumped into an electric pole, and the "leading head" slammed hard on the box cover.Get off at the Shikishima restaurant, change into a Japanese military overcoat and combat cap like a dog, take a Japanese military car to Shirakawa Wharf, and board the steamboat "Hijiyama Maru".At Dagukou, transfer to the merchant ship "Awaji Maru". Arrived in Yingkou on the morning of the 13th, changed carriages to trains, arrived at Tanggangzi Hot Spring Resort in Anshan, and went to Lushun a week later.

Everything is handled by the Japanese, including living in Tanggangzi Duicuige Hotel and Lvshun Yamato Hotel. They can’t even go down the building, they can only go in and out and move around in the rooms inside the building—it’s not like a dog is led here Are you on a leash? But this did not hinder Puyi's mood.In his rather famous book, after "Hijiyama Maru" left the pier, "I" "couldn't help but get carried away, and was so happy that I wanted to find something to say".When he was tied up in Duicui Pavilion, "I believe that the negotiation with the Kwantung Army will be easy, and I will soon announce that I, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, will return to the Imperial Palace in Shenyang."

It was not until February 23, 1932 that Puyi saw Seishiro Itagaki. It was Kenji Doihara who met with Puyi in Tianjin and gave Puyi a reassurance.The role played by these two ghost chiefs in the "September 18th" Incident will be described at the end of this book.What Puyi is most concerned about is whether the "country" created by the Japanese in the Northeast is a republic or an imperial system. If he can't become emperor, he doesn't want to come.A person who became an emperor at the age of three, but only for three years, does not know how addicted he is to being an emperor. Anyway, what he never forgets is the restoration of the Qing Dynasty and "ruling the world".

What Itagaki took out was the "Manchurian and Mongolian People's Declaration" and the five-color flag of "Manchuria".At this time, Puyi seemed to have a few bones left, "I was so angry that my lungs were about to explode. My hands trembled and I pushed the pile of things, and asked: 'What kind of country is this? Is this the Qing Empire? ?'" Also, Itagaki called him "Your Excellency" instead of "Your Majesty" or "His Majesty the Emperor".In Tianjin, Doihara called him "Emperor Xuantong". "I felt the blood all over my body rushing to my face. This is the first time I've heard Japanese call me that! The titles of 'Xuantong Emperor' or 'His Majesty the Emperor' were canceled by them. How can this be tolerated? "

However, "Manchukuo" was established on March 1, and Puyi rushed to Changchun on the 9th to take office as the "ruler". However, the Japanese did not seem to break their promises. After two years of "rule", they finally "restored" as "emperor". Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: The foundation of our country, the name of the country is Manchuria, and it will be two years here.The love of the people in the original will of God, and the righteousness of the allies, began to be brutal and rampant, and they endured and resisted the soldiers.However, the Japanese Empire did not evade the suspicions of the masses, and did not excuse itself when it committed the blaming of others.

... I don’t know which or which traitors and lackeys wrote the "Edict of Ascending the Throne" on March 1, 1934, or it was written by the master. Anyway, Puyi has since then "followed the emperor's edict" . On the second day of Puyi's "rule", there was the "Secret Exchange of Letters between Puyi and Kwantung Army Commander Honzhuang Shigeru" that was kept secret until the collapse of "Manchukuo": Sincerely, since the Manchurian Incident, your country has tried its best to maintain the law and order in the whole territory of Manchuria and Mongolia, so that your army and people have suffered great damage. This administration is deeply grateful and confirms that the security and development of our country will depend on your country. Aid Guidance.For this reason, for the items on the left, please allow your country to:

1. Our country entrusts your country with regard to future national defense and maintenance of public order, and all the necessary funds are borne by our country. 2. Our country recognizes that your country's army entrusts the management of the existing railways, harbors, waterways, aviation, etc., and the laying of new roads, to the agencies designated by your country, whenever it is necessary for national defense. 3. Our country will do its utmost to assist your country's army with all kinds of facilities that your country's army deems necessary. 4. The Senate of our country will appoint people from your country who are well-known and knowledgeable to serve as councilors. Officials in other central and local government offices may also appoint people from your country, and the selection of their characters is entrusted to the consent of the commander of your army.When the number of members and the total number of members referred to in the preceding paragraph are changed, if your country makes a suggestion, the increase or decrease shall be made according to the agreement between the two countries.

5. When the two countries conclude a formal treaty in the future, the purposes and provisions of the above items shall be the basis of the treaty. Sincerely, Shigeru Honjo, Commander of the Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army Puyi Monogram March 10, the first year of Datong On May 10, the commander of the Kwantung Army replied and agreed The shots were extraordinary, and basically everything that could be sold was sold. It is said that the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty had family rules, and in whose hands the land would be lost, even an inch of land could not be erected after death.The loss of power, humiliation and land loss of the Qing Empire did not only start with Puyi, but Puyi can say that the Northeast was not lost by him.But Zhang Xueliang's father, who threw the Northeast to the Japanese, had dealt with the Japanese for half his life, and Zhang Zuolin, who died in the hands of the Japanese, had warned him not to get involved in the circle of the Japanese. Running to throw yourself in the arms?

In May 1940, Puyi visited Japan for the second time and brought back a new ancestor, the Great God Amaterasu.Since then, there have been countless temples on the black land, and everyone from false officials to ordinary people has to worship "gods".Naturally, Puyi took the lead in setting an example, placing the tablet of Amaterasu God and three kinds of artifacts in the Jianguo Temple in the palace, and must worship on the 15th of every month.When the Japanese army won or lost a battle, they would go to worship at any time, thank God for his protection, and pray for God's protection.

Shameless me. Shameless me. I was obedient to the Japanese invaders, and I had long been accustomed to losing power and humiliating the country. I am the leader of the traitor. I am a traitorous leader. There is no Chinese taste at all. Puyi is very good at speaking and writing articles, and of course it is far more than these "...me" who slapped themselves.After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, what he said and wrote tirelessly was that everything he said and did was involuntary and forced by the Japanese.In his own words, "It's 'a person who doesn't know what it's like'". It seems that from "ruling" to "emperor", there are so many sufferings, sufferings and hatreds.

At the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, he once said clearly: "I have been oppressed for the last 10 years." Zhang Zuolin, who often talks about "mother's bastard" and "stinky skin", and calls himself a "stinky skin", is a man from the Northeast with backbone and toughness.Of course Pu Yi would not say such vulgar words, he said that he is a "human waste".In those days, there were at least 48 dishes per meal in the Qing Palace, and later in the Fushun War Criminals Management Office, two buns for each can eat 6.But if it's just such a "human waste" and "stinky skin", then it would be a blessing for him in the country. In fact, with the "Secret Exchange of Letters between Puyi and Kwantung Army Commander Benzhuang Fan", there is no need to repeat his face and soul. Volume 2 is a set of authoritative large-scale historical books "The Great Exposition of Old China", which records the history of China from January 1900 to September 1949. Among the 4 million words and 6,000 photos, the text and pictures about Puyi are the most. Half a century has turned the world upside down, how many people with lofty ideals have shone in the starry sky of history, how did Puyi become the number one star?The reason is simple, he is the emperor, and he has been emperor 3 times (the last one should be firmly put in quotation marks).Such characters, let alone China, how many people are there in human history? Duan Qirui got close to him, and Wu Peifu wrote a letter to praise Zhang Zuolin, who was born as tough as a beard, and worshiped him when he saw him fall to the ground.The emperor is supreme in China, with golden mouth and fine teeth for thousands of years, and he is used to it. If he recognizes this, his knees will soften involuntarily. There was a time when the last emperor became a movie star in China, and foreigners came to join in the fun.The author was interviewing somewhere in Liaoning and saw an inscription written by Pu Yi's younger brother Pu Jie.When I went to Urumqi for an interview, my colleague said that Xinjiang also has the calligraphy of this imperial brother.The author does not know calligraphy, so I asked an old man who is quite accomplished in this area of ​​the Anti-Union League, and the old man said immediately: "No bones." During the Chinese Anti-Japanese War, the puppet army called the "traitor team" and "big army" by the people in the Northeast, some figures pointed out that there were more than 800,000 people.It is not clear whether this is the figure before Japan surrendered in "August 15th" or the total of 14 years, and I don't know what figure it should be including those pseudo officials.As far as "Manchukuo" is concerned, the puppet army before its fall should be no less than 200,000. In the early days of the "founding of the People's Republic of China", it was mainly the Northeast Army who surrendered, about 100,000, and it reached 130,000 in the spring of 1933.Pseudo-officials are not easy to say.According to the population ratio, compared with our countries with similar fate and the same characters, no matter what our ranking is, in China, Puyi, a boneless plaything that is hard and falling, is irreplaceable, because he was once a emperor. He ascended the throne at the age of three and became "Long Live", "Long Live" became the abolished emperor in three years, ascended the throne again at the age of eleven, and became the abolished emperor after eleven days.A child born in an emperor's family turned somersaults in the troubled times.It was not his fault that he was targeted by the Japanese when he grew up.He tried his best to prove that his words and deeds during the nearly thirteen years in the Northeast were all involuntary, and he could not say that there was no reason at all. In the era of "class struggle", many anti-Japanese veterans were sent to prisons, and those who had managed war criminals management centers were imprisoned.No matter how jaw-dropping the history is, Pu Yi seems to be the most eye-catching.Since he was punished and walked out of the War Criminals Management Office, he (including Pu Jie of course) should have all human rights.However, when we pay attention to his unique identity in China over the past hundred years, we must not forget that the "Emperor Kant" of "Manchukuo" is a traitor and a false emperor. Puyi wrote in "The End of the Puppet Show": On August 15, 1945, "When Yoshioka told me that 'His Majesty has announced his surrender, and the US government has expressed a guarantee for His Majesty's status and safety', I immediately Kneeling down on both knees, kowtowed a few times to the sky, and recited: 'I thank the heavens for keeping His Majesty the Emperor safe!'” Pu Yi's nephew, who was a "student" in the Manchukuo Palace in 1939, and Pu Yi, who escaped with Pu Yi and was captured, wrote in his diary that day: "When Pu Yi heard this, he immediately knelt down and turned to the east to meet '(Kowtow, the head does not touch the ground, and the head must touch the ground when they meet), and personally approve their foreheads by a dozen." After that, the "Abdication Edict" was read out, and the opening sentence was still "Decree of the Emperor of the Manchurian Empire under heaven's acceptance" . In Wang Wenfeng's "Liuzang of the Armed Forces Before and After the Fall of the Japanese Puppet Regime", it is said that after reading the "Abdication Edict", "Pu Yi flattered in front of Yoshioka and said: 'I am so sorry for the Emperor of Japan. And we must be consistent and united with Japan to the end.'” In April 1935, during Puyi's first visit to Japan, he met Hirohito's mother.He wrote: "Japanese newspapers once reported that I walked with her, saying that once I went up the slope, I supported the Japanese Empress Dowager with my hands, which is similar to when I helped my father up the steps in the Changchun Palace. The same mood. In fact, I have never helped my father before, if you ask me how I feel about supporting Hirohito’s mother, frankly speaking, it is purely for curry favor.” Puyi seemed to have forgotten something, and Tadashi Guhai, then head of the Supply Section of the Personnel Department of the Pseudo General Affairs Office, later added to him: "Puyi met the Empress Dowager and took a walk in the royal garden in Shinjuku. He 'felt a feeling similar to maternal love' .Puyi also wrote in his notes: 'The empress dowager said that I was like her own son, and shed tears.'” Whether it is "fawning" or "consistent with Japan's one virtue and one heart to the end", Pu Yi, who tried her best to prove that all her words and deeds were involuntary, could make Hirohito's mother "shed tears". ——This man is not only a traitor leader, but also a talented actor. There are even more exciting ones. In Puyi’s diary on August 16, 1945, Puyi described the scene after Puyi and his party were captured at Shenyang Airport: “The conversation was between the Soviet general and Yoshioka, the ‘Queen Hang’. One said, we want to Go to Japan; one said, no, only going to the Soviet Union can guarantee your safety. Puyi was sitting on the sofa opposite the Soviet general. He himself said that at this time he repeatedly gestured and winked to the Soviet general, expressing that he would not follow The Japanese are willing to go to the Soviet Union." Does this look like the kind of woman whose husband's bones are not yet cold, and who swears to "observe the chastity" and winks at people before he even finishes speaking? Either wrote a letter to Stalin, or proposed to the Soviet officials that Pu Yi had requested to stay in the Soviet Union four times. In (unfinalized), Puyi said: "On the balance in my heart, there is false dignity on one side, and my life safety on the other." Some old people said: If the knife is pressed on the neck, and the face does not change, it is believed that the Japanese invasion of China was right, and he is not a traitor. Is that also worth reforming? The author of the "Tokyo Trial" quoted above said: "There should be a limit to a person who bears the title of emperor!" "Pu Jie Autobiography" said: Among the civil and military officials of the traitor group, the attitudes towards Japanese prisoners of war at that time can be roughly divided into three types: One is that they hate each other deeply, and there is a tendency to be sworn to death. Even if they have to meet each other, they want to take the opportunity to scold them.A typical figure representing this type is Puyi. After Puyi was pardoned, he often said to reporters who interviewed him: "The Puyi of the past is dead, and now standing in front of you is a newborn Puyi." To use a catchphrase in China in 2007, this person who once thought he "has no Chinese taste at all" is also "too talented". The traitors on the screen and on the screen, even in the era of "Great Daquan", are so vivid and can leave a deep impression on people.Seeing that this kind of image rarely appears in foreign film and television, even if there is, it is definitely not as wretched and low-spirited as a traitor. I wonder if our director can downplay this kind of image?Sometimes I even hope that someone can verify that Pu Yi, who brought back the God of Amaterasu, is not of Chinese descent-but is this possible? As the last emperor of China and the puppet emperor of "Manchukuo", Pu Yi is of course a rare "typical" for studying the court culture of feudal dynasties and traitor culture (if someone is interested in studying "Han traitor studies"), of course is valuable.Besides, what other value can this scum called a traitor have? The following is the interjection of President Wei Bo when Pu Yi was questioned by Chief Prosecutor Ji Nan as a witness in the International Military Tribunal for the Far East: Of course we do not try the witness, but we are concerned with how much we can trust him.Fear of danger to life, fear of death, are no justifications for cowardice and flight from the field of battle, for those circumstances do not in any way justify treachery.All morning we listened to this man defend his cooperation with the Japanese.I think we have heard enough. We are concerned with how far we can trust him.All of these issues are issues of trust in him.
