In recent decades, the film and television works on the theme of the War of Resistance have always been very popular, and every few years there will be some things about the War of Resistance, and in the film and television works, the Japanese invaders are like robbers, watching and robbing what, causing great harm to the people on the mainland. So, what about the real Japanese invaders? In fact, the performance of film and television works, although there are some elements of artistic adaptation, but it basically restores the history of that period, the Japanese invaders at that time, indeed a group of innocent guys, they ruthlessly captured the Chinese people, but also savagely robbed our things. Sometimes, the Japanese invaders refused to let go of a chicken in the village.
During the war, the Japanese invaders actually occupied Beijing on the mainland, and they still occupied Beijing for a long time. During this period, the Japanese army did a very strange thing, after they occupied Beijing, not only did they not destroy the buildings in the Forbidden City, but also repaired them. The answer to this question is infuriating.
The Forbidden City is the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties lived, and there are a large number of precious cultural relics in it, and some things are taken out at will, all of which have certain historical allusions. The mainland knew the importance of the Forbidden City, so before the fall of Beijing, it had already transferred a large number of items, sending the good things in the Forbidden City to a relatively safe area as much as possible.
After the Japanese invaders occupied Beijing, the Forbidden City basically became an empty shell, and even if they plundered wildly, they could not take away too many valuable things, and the Japanese invaders believed that they had already controlled the situation and there was no need to carry out crazy plunder. Therefore, they spent a little money to restore the Forbidden City, trying to gain the approval of the mainland people in this way.
At that time, in the minds of the Japanese, China had become their pocket, sooner or later, they would completely occupy the land of China, and the Forbidden City would become their property, so there was no need to destroy it, and some Japanese officials at that time even shouted that after the end of the war, they might be able to invite the emperor to let his old man live in the Forbidden City. The Japanese did not pay attention to the mainland at all, and such ideological cognition was infuriating, but to some extent, Japan's arrogance at that time was also a better opportunity for the mainland to attack, and the Forbidden City also escaped the disaster and did not suffer too much damage.
