On August 15, 1945, the Emperor of Japan announced his surrender, and the whole world in China celebrated this great victory.
At the same time, the Nationalist government also began to punish traitors, such as the shooting of Chen Gongbo, Wang Kemin, Liang Hongzhi and other traitors.
However, in the process of punishing the traitors, the National Government has also made a lot of jokes, which makes people very speechless.
In fact, the Nationalist government was initially reluctant to punish the traitors, for the simple reason that at that time, the Kuomintang was far away in the southwest and could not occupy the Japanese and puppet control areas in time, so it needed some traitors to maintain law and order for the Kuomintang first, and at the same time sabotage the acceptance of the Japanese and puppet control areas by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.
There was a traitor named Bao Zuocheng in Wuhu, Anhui Province, who had served as the chief of the Wuhu police station in The Guizhou Police, and after Japan surrendered, he took advantage of the Kuomintang's "extra-legal kindness" to him.
Bao Zuocheng ordered that all the rich merchants in Wuhu be arrested and taken to the bureau, saying that whoever did not pay the money would be punished as a traitor. Some businessmen cried and laughed and said, "What is this world?" True traitors judge false traitors? Bao Zuocheng was furious, pulled out his gun and pointed two shots at the ceiling, saying: "Lao Tzu now has a gun, Lao Tzu said who is a traitor, who is a traitor!" "The rich businessmen had no choice but to spend money to avoid disasters."
Afterwards, Wuhu merchants sent representatives to Nanjing to seek out Chiang Kai-shek to seek redress, and the old Chiang also knew what kind of goods Bao Zuocheng was, but for the sake of the so-called public security plan, he still turned a blind eye to Bao Zuocheng.
In Shanghai, there is a small trader selling milk, surnamed Shen, who often bought milk at the milk station he opened during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai. After the restoration of Shanghai, Shen was escorted to the defendant's seat, and the judge said sharply: "You dare to sell milk to the Japanese, let the Japanese eat and drink enough, burn and loot in China, it is a traitorous act, and it should be severely punished!" ”
Shen Mou wanted to cry without tears, and said: "I am a small trader, the Japanese said when they bought milk, if they dare not sell milk to them, they will kill their heads, what can I do?" ”
The judge said that Shen Mou was a soft bone, and he lost the national righteousness for a few dollars, of course, he was a traitor. Shen Mou was angry and retorted: "The milk I sold is enough to raise a few Japanese devils?" Japanese devils have killed so many Chinese, this account can't all be counted on my head! ”
However, the judge was eager to make this case an iron case, and finally convicted Shen of adultery with a sentence of two years. What is the charge? It is called "milk enemy traitor".
After the news came out, it became everyone's talking point, and the common people cried and laughed, saying: "I heard that milk has become an accomplice of the Japanese devils invading China." ”
What is even more ridiculous is that there is also an ancient anecdote of "Han traitors trying To judge Han traitors", and the protagonist is Wang Yitang.
After the Japanese invasion of China, Wang Yitang served as an important post in the puppet army, and was recognized as a traitor, and it was not unjust to arrest him at all. However, when Wang Yitang stood in the defendant's seat, he found that the person who tried him was he Chengzhuo, a subordinate of his when he was in a false position.
He Chengzhuo "righteously and sternly" asked Wang Yitang to honestly confess the crimes of traitors, but Wang Yitang couldn't help it, knocked on the defendant's seat and said loudly: "I don't have a good memory, some things can't be remembered clearly, you were my dog's leg back then, and many of my traitorous crimes were specifically handled by you, so you should confess yourself." ”
He Chengzhuo's face blushed for a while, but he also forced himself to hold on to his face, asking Wang Yitang to be serious, Wang Yitang looked dissatisfied, and said: "I am a traitor, you are also a traitor, a traitor tries a traitor, there is no fairness to speak of, I ask for a change!" ”
After this matter reached Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek's face could not hang on, and he reprimanded his subordinates, saying: "Who let He Chengzhuo preside over the trial?" Didn't check his details? With such a big foreign appearance, the face of the National Government will not be needed! ”
Of course, no one could deny the fact that Wang Yitang was a traitor, and he was finally sentenced to execution.
On September 10, 1948, Wang Yitang was taken to the execution site, and Wang Yitang, who was 71 years old, was frightened and pale, and cried: "Please President Jiang Kai-ghe, I don't want to die..." Even the executioner could not look at it, and said contemptuously: "I have shot so many people, and I have never seen such a spineless!" ”
According to media reports at the time, it only took one shot to shoot the prisoner, but Wang Yitang was shot seven times before he was killed, because the executioner looked down on him very much, and the first six shots did not hit the key point, making him suffer a little more.
