"Her weapons are unparalleled beauty, the noble blood of the Aisin Kyora Dynasty, money and power, and talent and sharp mind, but this is also the root of her tragedy. In her life, she had neither ideals nor beliefs, and she lacked the character of modern people. --Japanese journalist Haradahiko
Yoshiko Kawashima, a name that makes countless People grit their teeth when she mentions it, her appearance is not as gorgeous as many people think, and more often he chooses to appear in men's clothes. She was known as the "Oriental Female Demon", "Female Spy in Men's Clothing", secretly attacked the "Huanggutun Incident" of Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast, the "918 Incident" that opened the door of the Northeast Country, and the "Transfer Grace" incident that smuggled the last empress to the northeast to establish the puppet state of Manchukuo, all of which were inseparable from her, and she single-handedly created the "January 28 Incident" that attacked the Shanghai garrison.
It is such a notorious Japanese spy, few people know that she is not actually Japanese, but Chinese, and is still a well-known Manchu Qing "Gege", her father is a staunch "royalist", the iron hat Prince Su Ai Shin Kyora Zenki, the tragedy of Kawashima Yoshiko is also from this father's hand.
Shanqi came from the emperor Taiji's eldest son Hauge, who was one of the twelve iron hat kings of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Su, if you look at the political views alone, in fact, Shanqi was normal at the beginning, he supported the constitutional movement, keen to change the law, in the decadent late Qing Dynasty clan room is considered to be the one who is trying to save himself.
But at the same time, he could not abandon the glory and title of the royal family, and when the Xinhai Revolution broke out, he vigorously opposed the revolution, refused to sign the "Edict of abdication of the Qing Emperor", and then formed the Sectarian Socialist Party, committed to the restoration movement, and twice launched the Manchu-Mongolian independence movement. The Manchu-Mongolian independence movement naturally failed, which made Shanqi indignant, and his heart began to twist.
Refusing to let his children be Chinese again, refusing to let his descendants make any slightest contribution to the Chinese revolution, he sent all 38 of his children abroad, except for 3 sons who went to England, Germany, and Belgium, and all the others were sent to Japan, and let them remember Japan's kindness and start from the perspective of Japan.
With a father like this, how can a young child not grow crooked when he is indoctrinated from an early age to hate his country and kneel and lick the japanese mind? Yoshiko Kawashima is exactly that. Yoshiko Kawashima was the cousin of Emperor Puyi at the end of the Qing Dynasty, whose real name was Aisin Kyora Xianxuan, and when she was 3 years old, she was given by her father to Kawashima Nanasu, a Japanese diplomat in China with a good tone, and the picture below is Kawashima Yoshiko wearing men's clothing and her adoptive father Kawashima Suwami.
When she was 6 years old, Kawashima Yoshiko went to Japan with Kawashima Langsu, and was always affected by militarism, and the dual influence of her biological father and adoptive father made her become hostile to her own country, and she felt that she was Japanese in her heart, and wanted to fulfill her biological father's dying expectations and restore the glory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty through Japan.
In fact, there were many children who were sent to Japan by Zenki at that time, but not all of them were like Yoshiko Kawashima, for example, her younger brother Aisin Kyora Kendong realized that his father's thinking was wrong, and he could not accept the hypocrisy of the Japanese, secretly joined the underground revolution, and fought for the cause of China.
The reason why Yoshiko Kawashima is so extreme has something to do with her adoptive father, in 1922, Zenqi became depressed and died in Lushun, and Yoshiko Kawashima's death made Kawashima Yoshiko lose her dependence, and also made her adoptive father Kawashima Nanasu show his real face. Just the year after Zenki's death, Yoshiko Kawashima, who was only 17 years old, was bullied by Kawashima Nanasu, who is her adoptive father!
Since then, Yoshiko Kawashima's heart has been completely twisted, she began to pursue excitement, put on women's clothes for the last time, cut off her hair, put on men's clothes, and "farewell" with female identity. Yoshiko Kawashima had become a pawn on the chessboard at this time, and she wrote to her brother in Japan for help, but only got a patient answer, because at this time they could not break with Kawashima.
After that, a very important thing happened, that is, the late Qing Emperor Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang, which made them intolerable to those who were committed to the Manchu-Mongolian independence movement. In 1927, Yoshiko Kawashima returned to China, changed her Han name to Jin Bihui, and married the Prince of Mongolia according to The Arrangement of Shanqi, but in fact it was to win over the Mongols.
Yoshiko Kawashima was already full of rebellion at this time, and she found that she would continue to be used as a pawn after returning to China, which disappointed her, so she escaped from the marriage after 3 years and chose to join the Japanese Kwantung Army instead. With the "Huanggutun Incident" as a foreshadowing, Kawashima Yoshiko can be described as a fish in the Kwantung Army.
In 1931, when the "918 Incident" broke out, Kawashima Yoshiko began to engage in espionage activities, and she used her status as a Manchu Princess to make a great contribution to the establishment of a puppet manchukuo in Japan, smuggling Empress Wanrong to the northeast.
After being expelled from Beijing by Feng Yuxiang, Puyi was angry and angry, and he refused to give up the glory and title of emperor, so when the Japanese came to him and asked him to be a puppet emperor, he still agreed. But Wanrong still has hesitations in her heart, she is another poor person, not liked by her husband, but she is used by her mother's family as a way to obtain benefits, and she is full of resistance to going to puppet Manchukuo, in fact, she has indeed asked for help.
But no, nothing worked, Kawashima Yoshiko approached Wanrong's residence in her fourteen-square identity, and smuggled Wanrong in a coffin to Japan, where the emperor and empress were all available, and the puppet state of Manchukuo was established.
If you want to say that Kawashima Yoshiko completely defected to Japan, she actually secretly gave the eyeliner that Japan planted in China to Dai Kasa, the head of the military at the time, and all she wanted was a Manchu restoration. But to put it bluntly, her idea of being pitted by the good old is doomed to be unrealized, and the collapse of the feudal dynasty is the inevitable result of the wheel of history.
Yoshiko Kawashima is a good spy, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, I don't know how much information was transmitted, but gradually she reacted that the puppet Manchukuo was not the Manchu Restoration she thought, but a complete puppet regime, so she had a brief "awakening" and released some of the countrymen who were arrested by Japan.
Yoshiko Kawashima's behavior was soon detected by the Japanese, and she was strictly guarded, but she took advantage of Hideki Tojo's opportunity to revive, and from then on, she completely fell into the arms of the Japanese and became a pawn of the Japanese army invading China.
In 1945, the 14-year-long War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression finally came to an end, and Japan announced its unconditional surrender. For example, except for the highest commander and the officer who slaughtered civilians, no other Japanese soldiers and expatriates could convict them and could be released back to Japan.
Yoshiko Kawashima's identity was embarrassed at this time, if she was judged to be Japanese, then as a "commoner", she would be acquitted; if she was judged to be a Chinese, she would definitely be punished as treason and traitor, but she was indeed adopted by the Japanese.
The verdict of Yoshiko Kawashima's trial was not really reached until October 5, 1947, when her fourteen-square status led to her being classified as Chinese and convicted of treason; on March 25 of the following year, she wrote her last suicide note, ending her miserable and hateful life with a gun, at the age of 41.
