Wang Zhaoming, a beautiful man of the Republic of China who was very good-looking and talented, was brilliant and could speak the usual way, took the imperial examination, won the first place in Rongde County, and was admitted to study at the Japan University of Political Science and Law with Hu Hanmin, and came into contact with the advanced revolutionary ideological trend in the West. In 1894, Sun Yat-sen established the revolutionary group "Xingzhong Association" in Honolulu, which had unlimited admiration for Sun Yat-sen, and followed him, accepting the Three People's Principles, absorbing new knowledge from the West, setting up revolutionary newspapers and periodicals, and devoting himself to the revolution. Sun Yat-sen pointed out that Japan is "close to China in its land, easy to communicate, and easy to plan." He then joined the China League Association and served as the editor of the league's organ newspaper and the people's daily, using "Jingwei" in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" as his pen name. His "literary boldness" and "first pen" analyzed the revolution very thoroughly and was deeply appreciated by Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
In 1906, he graduated second out of 200 students. In 1907, he traveled around Southeast Asia to promote revolutionary ideals, and in Penang, Malaya, he met Chen Bijun, the daughter of a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman, Chen Gengji. Chen Bijun was deeply attracted to Wang Jingwei and was Wang Jingwei's number one "fan", and also played an extremely important role in Wang Jingwei's political career. In the winter of 1908, the revolution entered its most difficult moment, six armed uprisings failed one after another, and a large number of revolutionary volunteers fell in a pool of blood. At this time, Liang Qichao and other royalists took the opportunity to attack the violent revolution of the revolutionary party, criticizing the leader of the revolutionary party as a "long-distance revolutionary" who instigated others to die and sought fame and fortune himself. In order to save the revolution and save the League, Wang Jingwei took the initiative to go to Beijing to assassinate high-ranking Officials of the Qing Government, and used blood to prove that the leaders of the League were not "long-distance revolutionaries" who were greedy and afraid of death.
In 1910, in order to save the people's confidence in the revolutionary party, Wang Jingwei and Huang Wensheng conspired to assassinate the regent of the Qing Dynasty, and the assassination failed to go to prison. Lead the knife into a fast, live up to the head of the teenager. "It expresses his last blood, a patriot who cherishes the country and worries about the country and the people is willing to use death to prove himself." The Qing government was afraid that killing Wang Jingwei would make the revolution more difficult to contain, so it imprisoned Wang Jingwei for life. In 1911, the Wuchang Uprising broke out, the Qing government made up for the loss of the sheep, amnesty for the revolutionaries, and Wang Was released from prison. After his release from prison, he participated in the peace negotiations between the north and the south, and the deliberate Yuan Shikai got along well through purposeful contact with Wang Jingwei in the revolutionary camp of the League, so Wang Jingwei became Yuan Shikai's liaison in the Kuomintang, and at the instigation of Yuan Shikai, Wang Jingwei advised the revolutionaries not to regard Yuan Shikai as an enemy, but also to elect Yuan Shikai as president, so that the Manchu Qing Dynasty could be overthrown, and even if the revolution was successful, Huang Xing, one of the leaders of the League, chose to support Yuan Shikai. Under internal and external difficulties and heavy pressure, Sun Yat-sen was forced to issue a statement: as long as the Qing Emperor abdicated and Yuan Shikai created a republic, he would make Yuan the president. It can be seen from this that after his release from prison, Wang Jingwei was no longer as steadfast in the revolution as before, he lost confidence in the repeated failures of the revolution, and his mentality also underwent a qualitative change.
In 1912, Yuan Shikai was inaugurated as the provisional president of the Republic of China and invited Wang Jingwei to be the "Governor of Guangdong Province", and Wang Jingwei politely refused! In order to fulfill his promise to Chen Bijun in prison, Wang and Chen married and went to study in France. It is not difficult to see Wang Jingwei's timidity and cowardice, he is no longer a staunch revolutionary, and the quiet life after marriage is what he craves at this time. It is already a posture of "hanging high without caring about oneself". It was not until 1925 that this tranquility was broken, Dr. Sun Yat-sen was in danger, and Wang Daisun drafted a will, but there was no clear successor until his death. At this time, Wang Jingwei became the most vocal candidate in the Kuomintang. At this time, everyone still thought that Wang was the one who dared to sacrifice for the revolution before! It can be seen that Wang Jingwei's assassination and the drafting of his will made him a star and the most political capital figure! At that time, Wang Jingwei, who was "only the Kuomintang and the Three People's Principles" of the left, center, and right faction of the Kuomintang who "united with Russia and the Communist Party and supported the peasants and workers" was valued by the forces of all sides. Wang Jingwei's sensitivity to current affairs and politics made him popular with each other, and in order to become a leader, he and Chiang Kai-shek colluded to drive out hu Hanmin, the kuomintang elder, and moved down Xu Chongzhi, the "elder of the military circles," and reaped the benefits of the fisherman. Unanimously approved by the party, Wang Jingwei was successfully elected chairman of the Guangdong National Government and chairman of the Military Commission, and became the supreme leader of the Guangdong National Government, continuing to carry out Sun Yat-sen's legacy.
In 1926, Chiang Kai-shek, who held military power, provoked the Zhongshan incident and openly expelled the Whampoa Military Academy and the Communists headed by Zhou Enlai of the Whampoa Military Academy and the National Revolutionary Army. The cowardly and timid Wang Jingwei left all his duties and fled to France, saying that he wanted to study for further study! During this period, Wang Jingwei returned to China several times and went to France several times, and returning to China was a pursuit of power, and he wanted to make a comeback, and he went to France because he was powerless, and at this time the core of power was already in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek sent a letter to Wang Jingwei, who was "closing the door and quietly hiding," asking him to end his "seclusion" and return to the Nationalist Government to resume his duties. In 1927, Wang Jingwei returned to China again and could only be subordinated to the vice president of the National Government. Cowardly and entangled, he still can't resist the temptation of power! His desire to form a new government according to his own wishes was even stronger, and he was even more reluctant to succumb to the hands of a younger Chiang Kai-shek than himself, so the Kuomintang split into two governments, Nanjing and Wuhan. The feeling of power slipping from his hands could not be relieved for him, and it had become a heart disease that he had always had. At the same time, at the instigation of his wife, Wang Jingwei gradually embarked on a road of no return! In 1928, after the victory of Chiang Kai-shek's Second Northern Expedition, the Nationalist government in Nanjing declared unification and expanded its strength. Wang Jingwei had lost his political superiority, so how could a scholar compete with Chiang Kai-shek, who had already formed a relationship with Soong Mei-ling and held military power! Wang Jingwei was "defeated" in both wrist and method!
In 1931, Japan launched the "918 Incident", which fired the first shot of Japan's war of aggression against China. The voices of the people of the whole country are constantly calling for unity with the outside world, while Chiang Kai-shek, on the one hand, put forward that "we must first settle down inside the outside world, and on the other hand, we must step up the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, so that the people who have overthrown Chiang Kai-shek will continue to hear you. At the same time, there was also turmoil within the Kuomintang, and the anti-Chiang faction headed by Wang Jingwei set up a separate National Government in Guangzhou, demanding that Chiang Kai-shek surrender his military power and the post of chairman of the National Government in Nanjing! Subsequently, the Nanjing Nationalist Government demanded peace with the Guangzhou Nationalist Government, abolishing the Guangzhou Nationalist Government, and Wang Jingwei was appointed as a member of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, president of the Executive Yuan, and minister of foreign affairs. At this time, a situation of cooperation between Wang Zhengzheng, Jiang Zhongjun, and Jiang Wang's Communist Party was formed! The Ningyue peace talks are actually a deal that the two sides have redistributed in the name of "unity and resistance against Japan" to compete for the power of the central authorities!
At midnight on January 28, 1932, more than 2,000 Japanese Marines raided Shanghai Zhabei in three ways under the cover of tanks, but they were resisted by the 19th Route Army of the defenders, and the Songhu War of Resistance broke out. During the Lusong War of Resistance, Wang Jingwei asked Zhang Xueliang to send troops to Rehe to contain the Japanese army, but Zhang Xueliang refused on the grounds of consolidating the rear, which made Wang Jingwei very unhappy. Wang Jingwei said to Zhang Xueliang: "Your army should fight the Japanese, but don't really fight, your army can move and fight with the Japanese, which can reduce the people's pressure on the government." Zhang Xueliang was very angry, which was obviously to use the Northeast Army as cannon fodder, and he angrily said to Wang Jingwei: "What are you talking about, how can I Zhang Xueliang exchange the lives of my subordinates for my political life." This kind of thing, you must not come to me. Sure enough, ten days after the battle, the Rehe River fell. Because Zhang Xueliang followed Chiang Kai-shek's policy of non-resistance, he lost the three northeastern provinces and is now sitting on the hot river. The whole country was in an uproar, and Zhang Xueliang had to resign. After Zhang Xueliang stepped down, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei, who was in charge of diplomacy with Japan, reached a consensus on "compromise with Japan" and signed the "Tanggu Agreement" that humiliated the country, handing over the Rehe River and the entire Northeast Sansheng to Japan! Chiang Kai-shek asked Wang Jingwei to do all the questions concerning Japan, unwilling to let the hat of the "traitor" be worn on his head, so as not to be assassinated by the hoeing team. In 1935, Wang Jingwei was assassinated on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek and became Chiang Kai-shek's "scapegoat". The "assassin" becomes the "assassin", and the "revolutionary" becomes the "traitor"! Although he was lucky enough to escape death with three shots, the occurrence of this assassination case made Wang Jingwei completely lose the opportunity to monopolize power within the Kuomintang! Wang Jingwei's wife, Chen Bijun, was very angry and talked to Chiang Kai-shek in order to draw public opinion to Chiang Kai-shek, but he did not know that this assassination case was not Chiang's plan at all.
On December 30, 1936, the traitor Wang Jingwei and Japanese imperialism signed the "Outline for the Adjustment of The New Relations between Japan and China" in Shanghai, including the "Secret Treaty between Japan and The King" concluded in the same year and the exchange of letters on the establishment of puppet regimes. Japan supports Wang Jingwei in organizing the puppet regime and stipulates the problems related to loans and taxes of the puppet regime. After the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, Wang Jingwei advocated peace, saying "Peace? If you will suffer losses, you will honestly admit that you will suffer losses, and after you have suffered losses, you will have some compensation. After the Battle of Wuhan, Japan politically induced the Nationalist government, and after the Japanese army occupied Guangzhou and Wuhan in October 1938, the Sino-Japanese War entered a stage of strategic stalemate. On November 3, 1938, the Konoe Cabinet issued a statement entitled "Establishing a New Order in Greater East Asia", the Second Konoe Statement, which lured the Kuomintang regime. The statement said: "If the National Government abandons its previous consistent policy, changes the personnel organization, achieves new results, and participates in the construction of a new order, we will not refuse." The so-called "change of personnel organization" means that Chiang Kai-shek will step down, and this idea on the Japanese side has been brewing for some time. As a result, the spotlight of the peace movement hit the number two figure, Wang Jingwei. On December 19, 1938, Wang Jingwei, then vice president of the Chinese Kuomintang and vice chairman of the Supreme National Defense Conference, disregarded the unprecedented crisis of the party-state situation and used the excuse of "giving a speech at the Chengdu Officers' School" as an excuse, secretly left Chongqing with his wife Chen Bijun and secretary Zeng Zhongming, and fled to Kunming via Chengdu, fleeing to Hanoi, Vietnam. The telegram mentions: "After more than a year of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the great pain of the war is deep, and if the war can be ended with a peace that is in harmony with justice, then the survival and independence of the country can be guaranteed, that is, the purpose of the War of Resistance has been achieved." It has been strongly condemned by compatriots at home and abroad and people from all walks of life. Before that, Chiang Kai-shek also hoped that Wang Jingwei would change his mind and leave him in the future. Unexpectedly, I didn't expect Wang Jingwei to make up his mind, and he had no intention of turning back! In fact, the most tempting thing for Wang Jingwei is that Japan had promised him to form a new regime, but the Japanese side did not move, which made Wang Jingwei in Hanoi uneasy.
On March 18, 1939, Gao Zongwu received a message from the Japanese government that it had decided to support Wang Jingwei in establishing a new central government. Two days later, in the evening, there was an incident in which agents attempted to assassinate Wang Jingwei and killed Zeng Zhongming by mistake. Wang Jingwei was furious, and Chen Bijun immediately identified the murderer as being appointed by Chiang Kai-shek. (However, Gao Zongwu believes that Zeng Zhongming's assassination was the handiwork of the Japanese to further alienate Jiang Wang.) After Zeng Zhongming was assassinated, he arrived in the enemy-occupied area of Shanghai on April 25, 1939, and has since embarked on the road of no return to defecting to the enemy and treason. During this period, Wang published "An Example" in an attempt to show that the conspiracy was not his own claim, but the common understanding of the highest authorities of the National Government. But he did not know that he was deeply used by the Japanese, and compared with Chiang Kai-shek's limited peace negotiations, Wang was a real traitor to the country and seeking glory! On November 20, 1939, Wang Jingwei signed the Records of the Sino-Japanese Agreement and drew up a plan for treason and surrender to the enemy. On December 30, 1939, the day that Wang Wei signed the traitorous secret treaty, Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng both refused to participate in the signing ceremony under the pretext of illness. The abnormal attitudes of Gao and Tao aroused the suspicion of Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai and others. Someone secretly told Tao Xisheng that Li Shiqun and the "Seventy-Six" secret service agency of Ding Mo Estate were planning to assassinate him and then hold a "memorial service"; Gao Zongwu was also monitored by secret agents and his life was in danger at any time. On January 2, 1940, Gao Zongwu went to visit Tao Xisheng in his apartment, and the two agreed to immediately leave Shanghai in secret and leave the Wang Jingwei Group. As Tao Xisheng himself said: "It is like drinking poisonous wine, I took a sip, half dead, found that it was poisonous wine, and did not drink it." Wang took a sip, found that it was poisonous wine, and simply drank it. The so-called "broken jar is broken"! He lacked tenacity, did things repeatedly, could not see the strength of the people, had a dark eye on the international situation, was extremely cowardly, and coveted power, and was eventually nailed to the pillar of shame, accepting the ridicule and insults of the people of the whole country, and when the whole country was celebrating, I wondered how Wang Jingwei felt in his heart, whether he was remorseful or pleased. There is a good saying: your current temperament hides the books you have read, the people you have met, and the roads you have traveled. There is also a saying that is good; the times make heroes. However, the situation is also chaotic. Wang Jingwei has been a hero, and he is also a coward!
