Forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal, and on March 30, 1940, Wang Jingwei announced the establishment of the puppet national government in Nanjing, setting this day of shame on the pillar of history. Is what is happening in the world or the desire of the people? It all starts with Wang Jingwei's experience.
Join the League: embark on the road to revolution
Wang Jingwei was not rich, and can even be described by the word poverty, and the atmosphere at home is very depressing, which makes Wang Jingwei develop an indecisive, cowardly and inferiority personality since childhood, which leads him to go astray in the future. Even if life is difficult, Wang Jingwei is indeed a veritable family of scholars. Because his father and grandfather are both readers, the atmosphere of books at home is strong, and under the influence of family education, Wang Jingwei read poetry books, passed four books and five classics, and also won the show talent in the exam, talented, and wrote dozens of poems in his life, coupled with his handsome and tall appearance, he was really a good boy in his youth.
In 1903, Wang Jingwei was given the opportunity to study in Japan on official fees. After meeting Dr. Sun Yat-sen in 1905 and receiving Dr. Sun Yat-sen's impassioned propaganda of revolutionary theory, Wang Jingwei became a staunch professional anti-Qing revolutionary all the way. It is said that when he graduated from Japanese school, Qin Chunxuan, the governor of Liangguang, wanted him to be a Japanese translator, and he refused 50 yuan a month, which was not a low income at that time, from which it can be seen that he is not greedy for money and stable life. In the days of following Sun Yat-sen, Wang Jingwei was diligent and diligent, and he could be regarded as Sun Yat-sen's confidant. Wang Jingwei, whose real name was Wang Zhaoming and took the pen name Jingwei, published many applauded articles in the public opinion position "Minbao", and used his excellent writing to scold Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao's royalist party.
After returning to China, the League led many uprisings, but the results were not satisfactory, except for some old members who were some students who went abroad, and some people who opposed the League took the opportunity to ridicule Sun Yat-sen, and the royalists ridiculed him as a "long-distance revolutionary". Wang Jingwei, who was honest and youthful and bloody, could not listen to these mocking words of Mr. Sun, and then said that no one could leave blood in any revolution, he decided to show them a big ticket, and the most powerful person at that time was the regent Zaifeng, that is, Puyi's father, so he secretly planned to assassinate the regent Zaifeng, the assassination plan was wrong, resulting in the failure of the assassination, and was later arrested and imprisoned, sentenced to life imprisonment, experienced nine deaths, and left behind the inspiring "desperate poem" of "leading the knife into a fast and living up to the head of a young man", At that time, Wang Jingwei was full of blood and ambition, shouting the slogan of saving the country, and his poem was widely circulated, and many people with lofty ideals were willing to follow him, which made him quite prestigious in the Kuomintang in the future.
However, Wang Jingwei's life should not be extinguished, after the Wuchang Uprising, Wang Jingwei was released by Yuan Shikai, Wang Jingwei was very close to Yuan Shikai with a grateful heart, at this time Wang Jingwei's appreciation of Yuan Shikai even exceeded that of Sun Yat-sen, so that after Sun Yat-sen became the provisional president, Wang Jingwei tried to persuade him to give up the throne to Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat-sen was unwilling, and Wang Jingwei even tore his face with him. It can be seen from here that Wang Jingwei is not assertive and is a wallhead. Can be conquered by Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary theory, can also be conquered by Yuan Shikai's personality charm and even turn around and tear his face with Sun Yat-sen, such a character is sad in the turbulent situation at that time, without his own backbone, which also laid the groundwork for the final outcome of his defection to Japan to establish a puppet national government.
Weak Compromise: The Road to Peace with Days
During the Anti-Japanese War, in March 1938, the Japanese army fought several battles, although the Japanese imperialism occupied Wuhan, but the actual situation is not optimistic, with the lengthening of the front and the continuous continuation of time, the Japanese rear food supply is tight, the Japanese National War tension is serious, in the face of these gradually exposed problems, the Japanese side after the decision to adopt the policy of "using China to control China", that is, every place it occupies, it will adopt the establishment of a puppet regime, use Chinese to govern the Chinese, and open a game of political inducement with China. Driven by the compromise mentality of Chiang Kai-shek of the Kuomintang, Wang Jingwei was constantly sent to negotiate with the Japanese side, which provided the soil for Wang Jingwei, who was originally a grass on the wall and was not determined.
During Wang Jingwei's study in Japan, the strength of Japan's economic construction had long aroused his admiration, and after Japan invaded China, the Japanese army defeated and retreated to the Kuomintang army one after another, which made him, who was not firm in resisting to the end, become the most loyal representative of the pro-Japanese faction of the Kuomintang and the echo of Japan's policy of using China to control China.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, even in the midst of the wave of the nation's opposition to seeking peace with Japan, Chiang Kai-shek never gave up his close ties with the Japanese side, and the pressure of the people made him dare not surrender openly, but he also continued to accumulate the people's surrender sentiment in the shadows, which laid the foundation for Wang Jingwei's public surrender. Chiang Kai-shek revealed to the outside world that our side was unable to resist the Japanese attack, saying that "the Japanese side is more advanced in technology than ours, its tactics are better than ours, and it is also a loss to fight, and if it does not fight, it is also a loss", "if there is no certainty that the war will be rashly started, the Japanese side can occupy us within ten days" and a series of words to suppress the people's enthusiasm for the war of resistance, Wang Jingwei also spread the theory of the death of the country, causing panic among the people, in order to gradually make him lose confidence in continuing the war of resistance and create supporters for his own peace measures. On the other hand, negotiations were carried out in secret, in January 1938, Chiang Kai-shek sent Wang Jingwei and his gang to secretly contact the Japanese side, Chiang Kai-shek showed great sincerity to the Japanese side, but did not expect that the news from there actually wanted Wang Jingwei to "preside over peace" as a representative, which gave the old Chiang enough anger, and Wang Jingwei's side immediately found out the bottom of the Japanese side, which was weak and unfirm, and now the Japanese side extended an olive branch to him, so he became the person in charge of the negotiations demanded by the Japanese side for peace between China and Japan, which made the old Chiang angry, But Wang Jingwei felt that he was recognized by the Japanese side, and this recognition made him excited because he could finally crush the old Jiang.
In May 1938, the Japanese Guards cabinet was reorganized, re-releasing the "air of peace talks", Chiang Kai-shek saw the opportunity and immediately sent people to peace talks, but because the Japanese conditions were too harsh and failed, Wang Jingwei got the news and became jealous, seeing that the old Chiang's process was faster than his own, he also had to step up, so he immediately sent Mei Siping for secret talks, and after getting the response from the Japanese side, Wang Jingwei was overjoyed, and on November 20, Wang Jingwei signed the humiliating "Japan-China Agreement Understanding Matters" and "Japan-China Understanding Record" with the Japanese side. The signing of the latter contract marks a new stage in the Riwang collusion.
Establishing a Puppet Regime: Wang Jingwei's Path to Treason
After achieving certain results in making peace with Japan, Wang Jingwei completely fell into the weak mood of defecting to Japan, and in the midst of intense drumming, on June 18, 1939, Wang Jingwei returned to China after agreeing with the Japanese side to establish a puppet Manchu government, and at the end of December, Wang Jingwei signed the "Outline for the Adjustment of Japan-China New Relations" with the Japanese side, which was exposed in January of the following year. Is the morality of the Six No's Doctrine perfect? Wang Jingwei's defection to the enemy greatly exceeded the expectations of the Chinese people, and the impact on the public opinion and thinking of China's war of resistance at that time was indeed quite great. Anti-Japanese, anti-Wang, and anti-traitor movements were held in various places, but Wang Jingwei, who had long been obsessed with ghosts, completely ignored the damage to his reputation and continued to implement the plan, and on March 30, 1940, the puppet national government was established in Nanjing, its establishment marked the establishment of the national puppet regime, and Wang Jingwei was also saddled with the infamy of the ages.
Many people feel sorry for Wang Jingwei, and it is really incomprehensible why he degenerated from a hot-blooded young man who firmly followed Sun Yat-sen to make a revolution, into China's number one traitor. In fact, there is no need to regret, this is due to his character and his fate.
Throughout Wang Jingwei's life, it is actually only three stages. When he was young, his poetry and book spirit were self-prosperous, full of enthusiasm to serve the country, and the blood at that time could make him go up the knife mountain and go down the sea of fire, follow the route that he thought he could save the country, even if he threw his head and spilled blood, but unfortunately he was born in troubled times, there were many heroes, and without the faith he always followed and identified, he would lose his way with the collision of various ideas. In middle age, the spotless teenager also entered the world, because he was dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's governance policies but helpless, committed to Chiang Kai-shek but wanted to turn over, so when he cast an appreciative look at himself that day instead of the old Chiang, he was overjoyed and tried to prove that he was stronger than Chiang by something, but once he got on the ship of desire, the person at the helm was no longer himself.
With the subsequent series of events, he wanted to prove but his weak character was not enough to support him to achieve his goals, and the days of doing things for the Japanese were not comfortable, on the one hand, he had to be obedient, and on the other hand, he violated his original ideal of saving the country, but there was no turning back at this point, and in the end he could only be commanded like the walking dead.
If he were not such an outstanding person, he would not have been able to be infamous, but this person is talented and stands out, has revenge and talent but is weak and unassertive, and once the biggest weakness is caught, he will take a wrong step, and finally go against his own heart, bear the infamy of the ages, and be a lackey for the Japanese.
The establishment of the puppet national government was not only a failure for Wang Jingwei himself, but also a symbol of shame for the entire Chinese nation, and if a nation loses its sense of national honor, then the country is only one step away from decline. In the past, people were as rootless as duckweed in the stormy era, and it was the efforts of our ancestors that made us take root in the soil and achieve today's stability, although we have not personally experienced it, but we always remember that peace is not easy, and it is practiced and cherished.
