In 1866, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the situation was changing, Shanqi was born in the palace of Prince Su in Beijing. The palace is magnificent and magnificent, with red walls and golden tiles, and the momentum is extraordinary. After becoming a prince, Shanqi has lived in the wealth of Zhong Ming Ding Food and Jinyi Fox Qiu since he was a child. His life is like a splendid picture, full of luxury and enjoyment.
When Shanqi was twenty years old, it was the reign of Emperor Guangxu, and there was a prosperity inside and outside the court. Emperor Guangxu had a discerning eye and made Shanqi a second-class general of Zhenguo. The title of this second-class Zhenguo general, although it is called a military position, is actually more like a noble title, which is reserved for the descendants of the Iron Hat King. With this title, Shanqi's future unfolds like a splendid one, and the next step is to logically take over the title of prince of his ancestors.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is 1898. This year, Shanqi's father Long Yi passed away due to illness, and the palace was shrouded in grief. Shanqi was grief-stricken and kept filial piety for his father for a year, during which he stayed at home, thinking about his father's voice and smile day and night.
After the expiration of the filial piety period, the thirty-two-year-old Aixin Jueluo Shanqi was officially canonized by the Qing court as the tenth Prince of Su. At this moment, he stood on the high platform of the palace, overlooking the prosperous capital at his feet, and his heart surged with endless emotion. And Shanqi also became the last Prince Su of the Qing court.
When the Qing Dynasty fell, the good elderly, who was unwilling to face the reality, fled to the land of Lushun in a hurry with his whole family. In this remote coastal city, he secretly plotted how to revive the majesty of the Qing Dynasty and reshape the glory of the royal family. As for why Lushun was chosen as a place of refuge, the reasons are quite tortuous.
Back in the dark years of the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China, a Japanese spy named Kawashima Sholang skillfully persuaded the Germans to suspend the bombardment of the Forbidden City when the war was raging. The Forbidden City is not only the palace where the Qing Emperor lived, but also a symbol of imperial power and dignity. If it is destroyed by artillery fire, the already crumbling foundation of the Qing Dynasty will be even more precarious.
After Shanqi returned, when he heard about this, he felt grateful to Kawashima Speedy in his heart. He knew that if it weren't for this person's help, the golden Forbidden City would have been reduced to ashes. So, Shanqi personally came to the door to thank him, and Kawashima Speedy Wave also had the intention of making friends. The two exchanged pleasantries, and you came and went, and they became good friends.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Shanqi, the last royal family, still harbored unrealistic dreams, vainly trying to gather the remnants of royalist forces in various places in an attempt to restore the royal glory that had long since disappeared. This obsession of his was just used by the cunning Kawashima Speed. Kawashima knew that China was a scattered sand at this moment, and it was a good time for division, and this was an excellent strategy for him to pave the way for the Japanese invasion of China. Therefore, he cleverly lured Shanqi to Lushun, which had been trampled by the iron hooves of the Japanese army.
In June 1912, in the vast land of Northeast China, Shanqi finally formed a team called the "Qinwang Army" in a vain attempt to realize his absurd "Manchurian and Mongolian independence plan". He carefully planned that in the event of an incident, this Qinwang army would launch a fierce attack from the northeast and Inner Mongolia at the same time, smash Huanglong, recover Beijing with lightning speed, and rescue the imprisoned Qing Emperor Puyi. Subsequently, in the name of the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty, he used both grace and power to intend to recover all parts of the country.
However, just when Shanqi was full of ambition and fantasized about the glory of the future, a bad news came like a thunderbolt from the sky. It turned out that in the area of Gongzhuling, a train loaded with weapons sold by the Japanese to Shanqi was looted by the warlord Wu Junsheng and his troops. The weapons that Shanqi spent a lot of money to buy ended up in the hands of the enemy, and instead became a sharp weapon in the hands of the Feng army.
This blow was undoubtedly fatal for Shanqi. He was already weak and lacked sufficient weapons and equipment, and now it is even worse. Without the support of weapons, his plan for the independence of Manchu and Mongolia would naturally become a castle in the air and could not be put into practice. Shanqi suddenly fell into despair, and his dream of restoration was shattered.
When the smoke and dust of the shattering dream of the first restoration had not yet dissipated, Shanqi, the unswerving old of the Qing Dynasty, did not stop there. He is like a keen falcon, always watching the changes in the country, waiting for the turbulent moment.
In 1915, Yuan Shikai said that the emperor's ambition was clearly revealed, and the land of China was shaken. For a time, the voice of opposition came like a tide, the current on the telegraph line was galloping, and the people in the Beiyang government were also panicked and deviated from morality. Shanqi, who was far away in Lushun, sensed this surging wave of opposition, a trace of cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he secretly thought to himself: this may be a good opportunity for him to launch the great cause of restoration again.
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, Shanqi was particularly cautious this time. He carefully planned the secret delivery of weapons in batches, and each route was carefully selected to ensure that nothing was lost. The Mongol Babu Zabu army and the Manchu army in Qianshan, Liaoning, as the main force of this restoration, were already gearing up and eager to try. Shanqi's plan was to first take Mongolia and the three northeastern provinces in one fell swoop, and then move south to the city of Beijing.
However, just as Shanqi was intensively preparing for the restoration, a sudden change disrupted his plans. Yuan Shikai died suddenly, and the news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which caught Shanqi off guard. The Beiyang warlords have no leader, and no one dares to be the emperor easily. Shanqi's original banner of "Fuqing Yuan" also lost its appeal in an instant.
What is even more heart-wrenching is that the attitude of the Japanese people has also changed dramatically. They saw clearly that the Qing government had lost its legitimacy in China and was no longer of use. As a result, the Japanese began to look for a new spokesman for the Beiyang warlords, and Shanqi was ruthlessly abandoned.
Without the support of the Japanese, Shanqi was like an eagle that had lost one of its wings, and could no longer fly high. The dream of restoring the Qing Dynasty in his heart also became shattered under this series of blows. Shanqi looked at the clouds that gradually dissipated in the sky, and an endless sadness swelled up in his heart. He knew that the once glorious Qing Dynasty had completely become the dust of history, and he himself was just a futile dreamer.
The two powerful restoration movements, like two gusts of wind, almost swept away Shanqi's originally solid family wealth. At this moment, he has entered the second half of his life, approaching the age of sixtieth year, with gray hair. used to be so high-spirited, but now he can only taste the bitterness of failure alone in the torrent of years. His heart was filled with endless sorrow and loss, like the autumn leaves, desolate and lonely.
Under this heavy blow, Shanqi's body also weakened day by day, and his condition gradually worsened, but he never recovered. He often sat alone in the study, looking at the bleak scenery outside the window, and his heart was full of endless emotion. He knew that he was powerless to change anything, and could only pin his hopes on the next generation.
So, Shanqi made a decision. He sent his 38 children abroad, hoping that they would be able to find their own future away from this land full of strife. At the moment when he saw his children off, his heart was full of reluctance and worry, but he tried to hide his emotions and didn't want the children to see his vulnerability.
He looked at the backs of the children as they walked away, and prayed silently for them in his heart. On the occasion of farewell, he only confessed to them: "In this life, you are not allowed to hold public office in the Chinese government, nor are you allowed to become a Chinese citizen." ”
Among Shanqi's many children, most of them have settled down in a foreign country like a wanderer, given birth to children, lived an ordinary and stable life, and become a peaceful citizen. However, fate always seems to like to play some jokes, and in such a family, there is a different woman, ten years later, not only did she not find peace in a foreign land, but became an irrevocable hatred in the hearts of the Chinese - she is the notorious spy Yoshiko Kawashima.
When it comes to Yoshiko Kawashima, I have to mention her former identity - her original name was Aixin Jueluo Xianyu, which was a symbol of the royal blood of the Qing Dynasty. However, fate took a turn when she was six years old. That year, she was given to Kawashima Speedy as an adopted daughter by her father Shanqi, and since then she has gradually drifted away from her homeland.
In 1913, Kawashima returned to Japan with Hyunyu and renamed her Yoshiko Kawashima. During her time in Japan, she received an education that was very different from her homeland, and stories about bushido, loyalty and betrayal, took root in her young mind. And her father, the once powerful prince, often instilled in her the dream of restoring the country in his letters, so that she always remembered her mission.
However, Yoshiko Kawashima never really considered herself a Chinese. In her opinion, she is more of a Japanese, a Japanese with a mission of revenge. Her heart was filled with hatred for her homeland, believing that it was a land full of humiliation and loss.
In 1927, Yoshiko Kawashima returned to China, not in search of the warmth of her homeland, but in order to fulfill her father's legacy of instigating the independence of Manchuria. She chose to marry Kangyur Zab, the son of the Mongolian bandit Babu Zabu, in an attempt to take the opportunity to go deep into Mongolia and pave the way for her restoration plan.
However, Yoshiko Kawashima is fundamentally different from her late biological father, Zen Jai. Although Shanqi also aspired to restore Qing rule, his relationship with Japan was more of a mutual use. As a Japanese spy, Yoshiko Kawashima was constrained by the Japanese military everywhere. She had to oscillate between her country and her loyalty, and her mind was twisted in the midst of this contradiction and struggle.
In this way, Yoshiko Kawashima left her sinful footprints on the land of China. She used her identity and position to provide a large amount of intelligence to the Japanese military department and planned a number of conspiracies against the Chinese.
In 1928, Yoshiko Kawashima quietly emerged, she participated in the planning of the Huanggutun incident that shocked China and foreign countries, and successfully got rid of Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the Feng family. The death of Zhang Zuolin, a Beiyang warlord with a strong will to resist Japan, undoubtedly cleared a major obstacle for Japan's plan to invade and occupy Northeast China. His presence was a stumbling block to Japan's ambitious expansion plans, and now that the stumbling block has been removed, Japan's path of aggression seems smoother.
Fast forward to 1931, and the skies of Tohoku were shrouded in the smoke of war. The Japanese Kwantung Army had been planning for a long time, and finally launched the 918 Incident on this day, which was like opening Pandora's box and unleashing endless disasters and pain. Behind this disaster, Yoshiko Kawashima loomed, using her special identity and influence to provide a lot of information for the Japanese Kwantung Army, making Japan's aggression more handy.
By 1932, the situation in the Northeast was even more volatile. Under the manipulation of Japan, Pu Yi was forced to leave Beijing and secretly came to Changchun to establish the puppet state of Manchukuo. Yoshiko Kawashima played an important role in this puppet regime, she was named "Commander-in-Chief of the Angolan Army", held great power, and became Japan's right-hand man in the Northeast.
However, behind this seemingly beautiful scenery, Yoshiko Kawashima is a sinner who betrays the interests of the country and the nation. In order to satisfy her selfish desires and ambitions, she did not hesitate to betray her motherland and people and provide convenience and support for Japan's aggressive acts. Her behavior not only exacerbated the suffering of the people in Northeast China, but also made her name forever nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
In 1936, as the opportunity for negotiations with Hideki Tojo crept in, Yoshiko Kawashima once again stepped into her homeland, China, from which she had once refrained. This time, she did not return to find her roots, but acted as an important pawn for the Japanese army, continuing to stir up the storm behind her back.
She was wearing a gorgeous kimono, but she couldn't hide the cunning and ruthlessness in her eyes. She traveled between various forces, relying on her extraordinary wisdom and means to collect intelligence and plot conspiracies for the Japanese army. Every time she appeared, it was accompanied by a gust of yin wind, which made people shudder.
However, good will triumph over evil. With the end of the war, Yoshiko Kawashima's crimes were gradually revealed. In 1948, under the sky of Beiping, a trial against her was about to begin. People gathered outside the courtroom to see what happened to this once-glamorous female spy.
During the trial, Yoshiko Kawashima's crimes were enumerated one by one: espionage, murder, traitor...... Each of these was enough to ruin her reputation. In the face of ironclad evidence, although she tried to quibble, she could not escape the punishment of the law after all.
Eventually, she was sentenced to death. On the execution ground, her face was pale, and her eyes showed horror and despair. When the gunshot rang out, her body shuddered violently, and then slowly collapsed. At that moment, there were bursts of cheers from the crowd of onlookers, cheering for the end of this heinous female spy.
Shanqi, a descendant of the once prominent royal family, has a dream of restoration that is very different from the evolution of human society. This dream not only led him to a desperate road full of thorns, but also dragged his innocent children into the abyss.
If Shanqi can adapt to the tide of the times and let go of the unrealistic illusion of restoration, the huge wealth in his hands is enough to allow his family to live a carefree life. He could have taken his family to live a plain and happy life in a spacious and bright mansion, enjoying fine clothes and food. However, he chose the thorny path, intoxicated by the dream of restoration, unable to extricate himself.
Shanqi's obsession not only left his sons in exile and unable to return to China to reunite with their families, but also filled the life of his daughter Yoshiko Kawashima with pain and hatred. Yoshiko Kawashima, a girl who was supposed to be a princess of the imperial family, was forced to live in a foreign country away from her homeland because of her father's ambition and persistence.
Eventually, Yoshiko Kawashima became a figure that everyone hated. Her name became synonymous with sin and shame, and her actions filled people with disgust and contempt for her. And the root of all this stems from her obsessive father, Shanqi.
Shanqi's dream of restoration not only harmed himself, but also his children. His behavior made people deeply regret and regret, and also made people more deeply realize the importance of conforming to the trend of the times and cherishing the current life.
