At noon on August 15, 1945, the Emperor of Japan announced by radio to all of Japan that he accepted the Potsdam Proclamation and surrendered unconditionally.
At 9 a.m., on the deck of the USS Missouri, where the U.S. military was anchored in Tokyo Bay, a ceremony was held that will be remembered by the people of the world, that is, the signing ceremony of Japan's surrender, which also announced to the world that the Second World War was over.
We have worked hard for 14 years to drive the Japanese out of China. In order to achieve this goal, China has participated in the war with more than 7 million troops, and has paid a terrible price of more than 35 million casualties.
The time is calculated from the "918" incident, and when it comes to the "918" incident, we have to mention a Japanese female spy - Yoshiko Kawashima.
This female spy, she also has a "title" - traitor.
Why are women traitors?
What happened to her after Japan's surrender?
The Qing Dynasty Gege was born at an untimely time
In 1906, a baby girl was born in Prince Su's mansion, at this time Prince Su was Aisin Gioro Zenji. This newborn baby girl is the fourteenth daughter of Zenji, who likes her very much, and she is like a treasure, so he named her "Dongzhen", and her name is Aisin Gioro Hsien-hyun.
Speaking of which, what kind of king is this Prince Su?
Also known as Prince Heshuosu, in 1636, the first year of Chongde, Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty made his eldest son Haoge the Prince of Su, and later obtained the emperor's permission, this title can be hereditary, which is also one of the eight hereditary titles of the Qing Dynasty.
Prince Su has always been active in the administration of the dynasty, and a total of ten people inherited this title, and Shanqi was the last Prince Su in the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, although the good elders were overjoyed, the Qing Dynasty was already in a period of decline, and as the Prince of Su, he was very worried about the future of the dynasty.
As the wheel of history rolled forward, on February 12, 1912, the Beiyang minister Yuan Shikai forced Puyi to abdicate the throne and issued the Qing Emperor's abdication edict, so that China's last feudal dynasty finally came to an end after more than 200 years of rule.
From a historical point of view, there must be reasons for the change of dynasties, no one can stop the wheel of history from moving forward, and changing dynasties may not be a good thing.
But maybe this is for ordinary people, not for people with royal blood on their bodies. They have a special affection for the dynasty and are unwilling to accept the loss of the rivers and mountains laid down by their ancestors.
For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei was a descendant of the Han Dynasty royal family, and he had been working hard for the grand cause in his heart, that is, to revive the Han family.
As the Prince of Su, Shanqi was unwilling to face the reality that the Qing Dynasty had ended, and was bent on supporting the Qing Dynasty.
The already crazy Shanqi knows the current situation in the country, and it is simply impossible to support the Qing Dynasty. So he pinned this unattainable ideal on a foreigner he knew.
Xian Xuan was originally born luxurious and was of royal blood, but compared with the Gege of other dynasties, she did not live a luxurious and luxurious life, because she was born in such a historical period.
Japan Ronin
Zenji pinned his hopes for Kuang's support of the Qing dynasty on a Japanese man, and this person was Kawashima Naniwa.
Who is Kawashima Naniwa?
Born in 1865 in Matsumoto City, present-day Nagano Prefecture, Japan, he was admitted to a Japanese foreign Chinese school at the age Chinese of 17.
The situation in the world at that time, or the situation in Asia, gave rise to the idea in Japan that if the Qing dynasty was destroyed by Westerners, then Japan would be the next target of Westerners, and they had to do something about it and build a line of defense, and this line of defense was actually to annex the territory of the Qing dynasty, or turn the territory of the Qing dynasty into a vassal state, and then use our various resources to fight the Westerners.
Kawashima Naniwa was influenced by this idea. Because he had studied Chinese, in 1887 Kawashima Naniwa was sent to China as a "special agent", disguised as a beggar, hiding in Shanghai, tasked with spying on the military, which was his first time in China. Later, during the Sino-Japanese War and the invasion of the Eight-Power Alliance, he came to China as an interpreter.
In the face of the menacing eight-nation alliance, Cixi lost the "majesty of the empress dowager" in the past, left the imperial concubine, palace maids and other people, and escaped from the Forbidden City with Guangxu Canghuang.
Previously, German Duke in China Skelind ordered the shooting of more than 20 Boxer Rebellionists, occupying himself as the German minister to China, always arrogant and arrogant, when passing by the Dongdan archway, he shot again to provoke trouble, and was then killed by Enhai, a soldier of the Qing Army's Tiger God Battalion.
Germany was one of the Eight-Power Alliance, and the Klinde incident made them angry and wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on the Qing Dynasty. So six cannons were set up on Jingshan, and the muzzles were aimed at Bauhinia City.
At this critical juncture, Japan jumped out again. Because of the Sino-Japanese War, the West generated public opinion against them, and they wanted to reverse this situation. Kawashima Naniwa became a mediator, lobbying German commanders that if Germany bombarded the Forbidden City, it would be condemned by world public opinion, and that as the commander of this act, he would be spurned for generations.
Kawashima Naniwa's lobbying was so powerful that the German commander weighed it and promised not to shell the Forbidden City if the Bauhinia defenders could open the gates within 48 hours.
After lobbying the German army to succeed, Kawashima Naniwa hurried to the gate of Bauhinia City to negotiate.
"The Germans have prepared thirty powerful cannons, originally intended to raze the entire capital to the ground, I have done everything in my power to stop their madness, you killed their minister in China before, they have always held a grudge, if you can open the city gates, you can avoid this disaster, I promise they will not kill you and will not destroy this place" Kawashima Naniwa said to the guards of the Forbidden City.
Hearing Kawashima Naniwa say this, everyone panicked, if they continued to hold on, it would be a praying arm. So it was decided to open the city gates.
As soon as the city gate was opened, all kinds of valuable items in the city were immediately looted by the eight-nation alliance, but fortunately, the Forbidden City was completely preserved.
In July 1901, under the threat of the eight-nation alliance, the Qing government signed the Treaty of Xinqiao, the largest amount of reparations and the most serious loss of sovereignty in China's modern history.
With the signing of the treaty, the eight-nation coalition gained huge benefits from it, so they withdrew their troops to Beijing.
For the Qing government, the withdrawal of the eight-nation coalition troops is the greatest crisis. At this time, the Qing government was already shaky.
In order to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Qing Yixiu and Li Hongzhang proposed to the Japanese high level to "borrow" Kawashima Naniwa, and also promised him the official position and treatment of "Erpin Keqing".
At this point, Kawashima Naniwa has a legitimate reason to stay in Beijing. The stupid behavior of the Qing Dynasty was exactly in Japan's favor, and Kawashima Naniwa claimed to stay to help the Qing government, but in fact, it was engaged in espionage activities and provided Japan with a lot of intelligence.
It is said that when the Eight-Power Alliance was approaching Beijing, they learned that Cixi and Guangxu had fled, and Shanqi wanted to try to consult Guangxu and ask him to return to Beijing to preside over the "overall situation." In fact, this move can be described as loyalty, but he is not facing Mingjun. His advice was severely rebuked by Cixi.
When Cixi and Guangxu found a hiding place, they sent the Good Elders to Beijing to inspect the situation. At this time, Zenji learned that the German army had planned to shell the Forbidden City, but it was only preserved under the lobbying of Kawashima Naniwa, and perhaps out of some gratitude, he had a good impression of Kawashima Naniwa.
After a period of time, Shanqi as the Prince of Su of the Qing Dynasty, and Kawashima Naniwa as the "Second Rank Guest Qing", the two naturally had contact and intersection, and both of them had a good impression of each other.
A small talk, Zenji and Kawashima Naniwa actually talked about the current world situation, the mediocre Zenji was blinded by Kawashima Naniwa's previous practice of preserving the Forbidden City, coupled with the lack of a clear and comprehensive understanding of the world situation itself, Zenji actually thought that the biggest enemy of the Qing government was the same as the Japanese, a white man in the West, which coincided with Kawashima Naniwa's thinking.
Kawashima Naniwa knew that Zenji had always wanted to achieve long-term peace and stability in the Qing government, and took advantage of this, Kawashima Naniwa ostensibly promised to do his best to help the Qing government achieve long-term rule, and was even willing to provide some advice and experience in reform. In fact, Zenji has been locked up by Kawashima Naniwa at this time and has become a puppet who helps him engage in espionage.
Becoming the righteous daughter of the Japanese, tragedy ensued, becoming an oriental witch
Hsien Hyun's father, Zenji, was very worried about ronin spies like Kawashima Naniwa at this time, and he was crazy and fantasized about relying on the Japanese to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
In order to get closer to Kawashima Naniwa, he actually gave his daughter Xianyu to Kawashima Naniwa, and asked Kawashima Naniwa to recognize her as a righteous daughter.
As a prince of Su with a head and a face, he gave his daughter to the Japanese as a righteous daughter, which was known to the world and was bound to attract criticism, and in order to act "low-key", Hsien Yue changed his daughter's name to Yoshiko Kawashima.
Kawashima Naniwa was originally a Japanese spy, and this time Zenji gave his 6-year-old daughter to himself as a righteous daughter, which simply made Kawashima Naniwa's espionage activities like a tiger, while Kawashima Yoshiko is still young, cultivating it will become a tool in his own hands.
In this way, Yoshiko Kawashima was brought back to Japan by Kawashima Naniwa, and Kawashima Naniwa also sent Kawashima Yoshiko to a Japanese school to study.
At this time, Japan was a land of projectiles, but it already had the idea of dominating the world, and in order to achieve this goal, Japanese schools adjusted the content of teaching. In addition to learning the basics, students are indoctrinated with a terrible idea - militarism.
Young Yoshiko Kawashima studied in such an environment, which had a great impact on her. Sometimes, she even felt like she was Japanese.
Much worse is yet to come.
As Yoshiko Kawashima grew up day by day, Yoshiko Kawashima grew into a 17-year-old girl. Kawashima Naniwa, who was slowly approaching the age of Hanajia, actually had lustful thoughts about her.
This day was the most terrible nightmare in Yoshiko Kawashima's life. Kawashima Naniwa violated Yoshiko Kawashima. This painful experience also further twisted Yoshiko Kawashima's heart.
After the incident, Yoshiko Kawashima wrote in her diary: "On October 6, I liquidated women forever!" ”
The meaning of this sentence is that she wants to say goodbye to female identity once and for all.
After experiencing painful encounters, her personality changed greatly, and even Kawashima Naniwa felt that she had changed someone. She cut her hair to the short inches of Japanese boys, and no longer wore girls' clothes in her clothes. There is no difference between words and deeds and hooligans. After that, he liked horseback riding and shooting.
Coupled with the continuous deepening of militarist ideas in the school, Yoshiko Kawashima has become an extremist with an extremely twisted heart, and even Kawashima Naniwa is afraid. If he continued to keep Yoshiko Kawashima by his side, maybe one day because of the previous incident, he would be killed by Yoshiko Kawashima, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he felt, so Kawashima Naniwa sent Yoshiko Kawashima to Kagoshima.
It was not until 1927 that Yoshiko Kawashima returned to China. However, at this time, she is no longer in love with Shin Gioro Hsien-hyun, but a person with an extremely twisted heart and full of Japanese militarism. She almost forgot that she was a Chinese, but she remembered her father's dream of supporting the Qing Dynasty.
In order to achieve "restoration", she married Kangyurzab, the second son of the Mongol king Babu Zab, but she had no feelings for Kangyurzab from beginning to end, but only used him to accumulate political capital for herself.
Since it is a tool, it will not escape the day when it is used up. Three years after her marriage to Kangyurzab, in Kawashima's opinion, Kangyurzab and his family have lost their value to themselves, and Kawashima Yoshiko leaves Kangyurzab's home.
After that, Yoshiko Kawashima chose to join the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Step by step, Yoshiko Kawashima's means became more and more sophisticated, and she participated in various military operations many times.
It is said that the Huanggutun incident, the "918" incident, the independence of Manchuria, the "128" incident that shocked the world, and the transfer of Guo Browanrong, Kawashima Yoshiko were all involved, and even some of the events were planned by her.
Although she once wrote in her diary that she would say goodbye to her daughter permanently, she shrewdly knew that relying on female identity would facilitate espionage work such as obtaining intelligence.
So he found wigs and skirts, dressed himself carefully, and appeared in various activities such as military, political, and business circles.
Gradually, Yoshiko Kawashima became a socialite, and the level of various activities she participated in became higher and higher, and it was rumored that even Hideki Tojo, Ninji Okamura, and Kenji Toihara had a good relationship with Yoshiko Kawashima.
Yoshiko Kawashima's heart is extremely twisted, she is an unscrupulous person who has not achieved her goal, and she is also a femme fatale, and later as her "popularity" continues to increase, she is nicknamed "Oriental Female Devil" and "Male Female Spy".
Received retribution and was arrested by the Kuomintang army
Yoshiko Kawashima's methods were extremely cruel and despicable, and her purpose was only to achieve the revival of the Qing dynasty. For many years, Japan has been dead-hearted.
But later she also found out that in the eyes of the Japanese, she was just a pawn and tool in the hands of the Japanese, and the Japanese did not take the "ideal" in her heart as a thing at all.
Perhaps this is retribution, just as she used Kangyurzab as her tool before, and as the Japanese saw her as less and less valuable and less connected to her, she also became an "outcast" in the hands of the Japanese.
Over the years, what she has done has already made Chinese hate her, and she can't wait to frustrate her.
In 1945, with the announcement of Japan's surrender, the Kuomintang military command finally ushered in the opportunity to liquidate.
At this time, Yoshiko Kawashima lost Japan's aid and support, and hid in Peiping, trying to hide through a pseudonym.
But her whereabouts have long been mastered by the military agents, but for such people who also have agent spy experience, before they are absolutely sure, they must not act at will, otherwise they will only startle the snake, so during this period, the military agents only kept a close watch on Yoshiko Kawashima at an absolutely safe distance.
Because during the War of Resistance, the military unity's firm stance on eliminating traitors and the hidden secrets between Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li, the head of the military command at that time. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek entrusted the task of eliminating traitors to the military commander.
In the face of such a target of arrest, the military commander naturally did not dare to take it lightly, and chose to purge the elite of the team to carry out this task, and the person in charge of this operation was Zhang Peizhi, an agent of the military command.
In order to ensure that nothing is lost, Zhang Peizhi ordered the agent to turn into a hawker and thoroughly understand the situation in the 49 Alley, where Yoshiko Kawashima is hiding, and even the structure of Yoshiko Kawashima's house and the personnel in the house are well known.
After close surveillance and Zhou Xiang's arrest plan, Dai Li, a senior military commander, decided that the time was ripe to capture Yoshiko Kawashima and ordered the arrest operation.
The start of the operation was set after midnight, and the agents divided into several routes to cut off all roads leading to the outside of Kawashima Yoshiko's house, and because Kawashima Yoshiko had trained in Japanese shooting, each intersection could be described as heavily guarded.
After guarding each intersection, Zhang Peizhi led more than a dozen agents to enter Yoshiko Kawashima's residence from the front door and backyard of the residence.
Arriving at Yoshiko Kawashima's bedroom, the agent kicked the door open, and a dozen people poured into the bedroom, pointing guns at the people on the bed.
However, the person in the bed had a sloppy face, all with morphine pinholes, and the smell was disgusting. Shine a flashlight on your face, and you can't even tell if it's a man or a woman.
Is this person Yoshiko Kawashima?
Zhang Peizhi was sure that the intelligence would not be wrong, and at this time, he would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go.
On the morning of October 22, 1947, the Hebei Provincial Supreme Court pronounced a verdict that Yoshiko Kawashima was sentenced to death.
Before the final verdict, Yoshiko Kawashima also wrote to Kawashima Naniwa and asked him to help her modify her age and identity, because if she was indeed Japanese, there would be no traitors, but she forgot that she was a royal bloodline before, and in the royal genealogy, her identity and age were clearly written, which is irrefutable evidence.
Moreover, at this time, she had no value for Japan, and although she wrote several letters in a row asking Kawashima Naniwa for help, she did not receive a reply.
In March 1948, Yoshiko Kawashima was executed for traitor and espionage.
