In the fourteen years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, countless Sons and Daughters of China bravely killed the enemy and built an unbreakable Great Wall with their flesh and blood, and finally in 1945, the final victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan was achieved. However, there are also a few people in it who betray the country and seek glory, not only do not contribute to the country, but also help the Japanese to suppress their compatriots. These people all have a disgraceful title called "traitors." Today I am going to talk about one of the most disgusting traitors.
The name of this traitor is Zhang Benzheng, Zhang Benzheng's ancestral home is in Wendeng, Shandong, born in 1865 in Lushun Huangnichuan Tunguzi Angou, when he was a child, Zhang Benzheng also experienced private education, at that time the level of education was not low, but also learned carpenter craftsmanship, after growing up to go out to do business is to see some of the world.
During the Sino-Japanese War in 1894, Zhang Benzheng became acquainted with the Japanese secret agent Takahashi Tengbingwei. Got a job as a chores. Zhang Benzheng used his identity as a Chinese to obtain intelligence for the Japanese army, and soon gained the trust of the Japanese. Deeply appreciated by Takahashi. Later, he followed Gaoqiao to Weihai and Yantai. Began his path to development and demise.
In 1901, Zhang Benzheng chartered a Japanese steamship to do a line of maritime trade in Yantai, Dalian, Dadonggou and other places, and it should be known that the first major force in northeast China at that time was the Japanese. Zhang Benzheng naturally made the business bigger and bigger with this backstage, but he himself has completely become a pawn of the Japanese.
In 1904, Zhang Benzheng opened the Zhengji Steamship Joint Venture Unlimited Company in Yantai, which was the first steamship shipping enterprise in modern Yantai. But you must know that no matter how big The Japanese raise Zhang Benzheng, he has a chain tied to him behind his back, and he will never want to break free. This chain is naturally Japanese.
At that time, in order to curry favor with the Japanese, Zhang Benzheng heard that Japan was fighting with Russia, so he helped Japan transport arms. During World War II, Zhang Benzheng heard that the Japanese army had suffered heavy losses without saying a word and sold his family property. Donated 40 combat aircraft to Japan. Who can calculate how many of the missiles on these planes land on the land that gave birth to him?
Because of this incident, Zhang Benzheng was also received and commended by the Emperor of Japan for this purpose, and awarded him medals and titles. It is even included in textbooks for future generations in Japan to respect and worship. At this time, Zhang Benzheng used the power of Japan, and his business had spread all over the world, looting countless ill-gotten gains.
In the face of the general situation, this traitor is just an ant after all. On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. Honshō whitewashed himself in various ways, but his reputation was too bad. In 1948, he fled to Tianjin and went into hiding. He was eventually arrested in 1951 and sentenced to death on May 6 of the same year. The execution was carried out in Dalian Lao Turtle Bay. This notorious traitor finally came to justice.
