In order to dissuade Puyi from defecting to the Japanese, how many favorable conditions did old Chiang Kai-shek offer?
Introduction: The September 18 Incident broke out in 1931. The Japanese Kwantung Army brazenly invaded the northeast, and Zhang Xueliang's 300,000 northeast army retreated without a fight, and they were pulled back to Guannei by Chiang Kai-shek. Within a month, the Japanese had occupied the three northeastern provinces. Since then, the Nationalist government has been seeking help from the international community, but the great powers are reluctant to offend the Japanese. At the same time, kenji Doihara, the commander of the Kwantung Army, secretly sent someone to find the last emperor Puyi.
In the era of warlord chaos, Puyi, who had no actual military power, was not cared about at all. However, when the Japanese occupied the three eastern provinces, the attention of all parties was paid to Puyi. The Japanese knew in their hearts that they were not the masters of the Northeast, and that if they wanted to rule the Northeast permanently, they would have to find an agent. Of course, this person is Puyi of the Manchu Qing royal family. Soon, Puyi met with the Japanese, who agreed to the Japanese request and fled to the northeast in August 1931.
Later, Puyi established Manchukuo with the support of the Japanese. Since then, the northeast has nominally become Puyi's world, and Puyi has become a puppet of the Japanese. Chiang Kai-shek's heart was extremely painful, and he called Gao Youtang and angrily rebuked Gao Youtang for his incompetence. It turned out that after the loss of the three eastern provinces, Chiang Kai-shek guessed the next plan of the Japanese. He asked Gao Youtang to talk with Puyi on his behalf, and Chiang Kai-shek put forward rich conditions, hoping that Puyi would have a patriotic feeling and not be in cahoots with the Japanese. Gao Youtang saw Puyi and said these words to Puyi unchanged.
In order to win over Puyi, Chiang Kai-shek said that the Nationalist government would restore all of Puyi's honors and would continue to fulfill the "Agreement on Preferential Treatment of the Manchu Qing Imperial Family" signed that year. You know, the Manchu Qing royal family took advantage of this agreement, not only will they be able to get one million taels of silver from the government every year, but they also have the power to garrison themselves. At the same time, Puyi will become the nominal leader of the country, and foreign envoys will need to pay homage to him. In this way, Puyi undoubtedly became a new emperor. Unfortunately, Puyi did not believe Chiang Kai-shek's words. Puyi told Gao Youtang that he was quite disgusted with the Nationalist government, and after Tanglin was blown up by the warlord Sun Dianying, he announced that he would never cooperate with the Nationalist government.
Conclusion: Regardless of whether Chiang Kai-shek's words were true or not, they could make Chiang Kai-shek have such a statement. It is enough to see that Chiang Kai-shek's government has indeed fallen into a state of great embarrassment. The September 18 Incident slapped Chiang Kai-shek hard, which made him bear the insult of traitorous country and glory. Chiang Kai-shek avoided fighting, and he lost the trust of the people of the whole country. If Puyi and the Japanese reach a cooperation, the northeast will really re-establish a country. Then, Chiang Kai-shek really had no face to meet the ancestors of the Chinese nation.
