May this body be long to serve the country, why should I be born into the Jade Gate Pass! Throughout the thousands of years, whenever the Chinese nation encountered national difficulties, countless generals and soldiers chose to lie on the battlefield and wrap their bodies in ma ge; the literati and rioters chose to work tirelessly and worry about the country and the people; while the celebrities and gentlemen chose to destroy their families to relieve difficulties and forget their families. Even during the Period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when the country was destroyed at any time, there was still a courageous resistance from Zhang Zizhong, Nie Er, And Yu Dafu, who were patriots in various fields.
Although he was not as famous as Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai, his various dirty deeds in the entire War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression were enough to make the entire nation spurn, and he was the epic traitor Zhang Benzheng who donated 40 planes to Japan in the Sino-Japanese War.
One: the road to development
Zhang Benzheng was born in Lushun, Liaoning Province in 1865, and his poor family did not study for a few years before he began to earn money to subsidize his family. At that time, there were many Japanese in Lushun who traded and did business there, and Zhang Benzheng worked in a restaurant opened by Japanese people. Here, Mr. Zhang met the man who had changed his life's fate, a man named Takahashi, the leader of a Japanese secret service organization. Takahashi saw that Zhang Benzheng was clever and clever, and was determined to focus on wooing and cultivating this Chinese as one of his informants. With the help of Takahashi, Zhang Benzheng began his journey.
At first, he chartered two Japanese freighters for shipping, and later helped Japan transport ammunition and materials during the Russo-Japanese War. In the course of trade with Japan, it also continuously provided Japan with various kinds of information about China, and these information provided great convenience for Japan's future aggression against China. As a result of close cooperation with Japan, Zhang Benzheng soon gained the trust of the Japanese high-level, and under the protection of the Japanese, his own steamship transportation also became bigger and bigger, with as many as 32 large cargo ships at its peak, and he also dabbled in various industries such as banking, restaurants, and electric lights.
Two: Litong foreign countries
Zhang Benzheng, who made his fortune by relying on the Japanese, was at this time in the spring breeze, and in the face of the benefits given by the Japanese, he had forgotten his identity as a Chinese. After the September 18 Incident, Zhang Benzheng not only gave great help to the Japanese army economically, but also spared no effort to collect various intelligence to help Japan cultivate its forces. The outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident marked the beginning of Japan's all-out invasion of China, when the whole country was united and the whole nation was united in the general trend of the War of Resistance, but Zhang Benzheng firmly stood in the camp of the Japanese aggressors.
While vigorously advocating this so-called "holy war" to the people, he also donated money and materials to the Japanese army, donating more than 700,000 yuan to Japan and 40 aircraft. This help to Japan is undoubtedly a massacre of Chinese. When Chinese sneered at him, Zhang Benzheng was honorably received by the Japanese emperor, and was successively awarded "commendations" such as "commendations for meritorious members" and "commendations for meritorious service" by Japan, and these Japanese commendations made Zhang Benzheng proud, and until his death, he often showed off his former "glory" to others.
Three: Sin deserves it
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, many people thought that Zhang Benzheng, who lost the support of the Japanese government, would get the punishment he deserved, but he relied on the money and power he had accumulated over the years to avoid the punishment he deserved. Later, in collusion with Kuomintang agents, they began to vigorously hunt down and kill our Party personnel and patriotic democrats, and continued to do evil deeds that lost their conscience. Zhang Benzheng, who had committed many injustices, was eventually arrested, but during his detention, he absconded on medical parole.
Zhang Benzheng, who had absconded, continued to organize forces and carry out counter-revolutionary activities. Fortunately, in the cycle of heavenly paths, retribution is not pleasant, and many acts of injustice will kill themselves! In 1951, Zhang Benzheng was arrested by our party. At this time, he was 86 years old, and the oldest traitor in Chinese history had been engaged in traitors for the longest time, and he was finally sentenced to death for the crime of being an enemy and a counter-revolutionary. In the sound of a lifetime of gunshots, in the anger of the Chinese people, ended Zhang Benzheng's criminal life.
