In the memory of the older generation, the history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will undoubtedly never be forgotten, and in the context of a turbulent society, it is the backbone of a Chinese to rise up and resist Japanese imperialism. However, no matter what era, there are greedy and fearful of death, they ignore the suffering that the Chinese people are suffering, blindly seek perfection, in their hearts, only their own glory and wealth, status, as long as their families are not persecuted, willingly become the eagle dog of Japan. This kind of person has a very appropriate title: traitor.
To a lesser extent, the gossip provided by the traitors can give the Japanese army an advantage in a certain battle, and even affect the safety of many people's lives and property; to a large extent, the traitors can affect the decision-making of the rulers at that time and cause harm to the whole society in the macro aspect. Coincidentally, in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a famous traitor, he was in a high position of power, in the Qing court in a high position, but also a learned man, calligraphy is also the pinnacle, the 4 big characters mentioned in that year are still everywhere until now.
Zheng Xiaoxu was born in 1860, a native of Minhou, Fujian, and when he was born, the Qing court had been opened by western armies, and the ideas he had accepted since childhood were "advanced". Zheng Xiaoxu was active in thinking and studying hard, and at the age of 22, he became an aide to Li Hongzhang, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, and became an aide to li hongzhang, which was considered to be an official career. In 1891, Zheng Xiaoxu sent a mission to Japan to conduct friendly exchanges with Japan, and it was this special experience that made him and the Japanese form a close relationship.
In 1891, when the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War broke out, Zheng Xiaoxu was ordered to return to China, relying on the relationship of the staff, he climbed the towering tree of Zhang Zhidong and was appointed by him as the "Self-Strengthening Army Supervisor". During his tenure as superintendent, Zheng Xiaoxu frequently spoke to Zhang Zhidong, such as: refusing to fight peace, moving the capital to abolish the treaty, united British system day, etc., showing the appearance of a hot-blooded patriotic youth. After that, Zheng Xiaoxu has been active in major well-known historical events, such as the Constitutional Movement, the Penghu Reform Law, etc., and all his efforts are to promote officials.
Zheng Xiaoxu's goal was so simple, but in fact, through his "unremitting efforts", he eventually became the prime minister of Puyi's puppet state of Manchukuo. In addition to the pursuit of power, Zheng Xiaoxu was also a great calligrapher, in the calligraphy circle of the Republic of China period, there has always been a saying that "north is better than South Zheng", "South Zheng" refers to Zheng Xiaoxu, who was born in Fujian. Zheng Xiaoxu's words can be said to be a thousand words at that time, and many people did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy them in order to get his autographed books, and Zheng Xiaoxu was also complacent.
In 1908, the Bank of Communications was established, when Zheng Xiaoxu was in a high position of authority, and wrote a good hand, in order to show his authority, Zheng Xiaoxu personally wrote the four big characters of "Bank of Communications", which has not changed to this day. For the sake of power, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xiaoxu actively united with Japan to establish a puppet state of Manchukuo, pushed Puyi to the throne, and himself was the prime minister under one person, above ten thousand people, in his view, there was no official to do, and ambition became useless.
Zheng Xiaoxu once said such a sentence to Puyi: You win, I accompany you to the world, and you lose I accompany you to make a comeback.
