Sima Qian wrote at the beginning of the "History": "The world is bustling, all are for profit; the world is bustling, all are for profit", life in the world, many people rack their brains to pursue the two words "name" and "profit", but just like the old saying, "there is also a way to steal", on the road to fame and fortune, there is something to do, there is something to do.
It is impossible to deceive and deceive, it is impossible to harm nature, and it is impossible to betray the country and seek glory. If we break through the bottom line for the sake of temporary glory and wealth, we will eventually be nailed to the pillar of shame of history, despised by the world, warned by future generations, and spurned by the people.

Since the nineteenth century, the modern history of the Chinese nation has begun with humiliation, and every page is full of suffering and the people's endless struggle.
In the 100 years of arduous struggle, there are "beheading does not matter, as long as the doctrine is true." Killed Xia Minghan, and later people" generous to death, there is "sending cold stars to not notice, I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood" abandoned medical follow-up text.
However, there are also traitors who have read the books of the sages in vain and are willing to serve the enemy before and after the saddle for the sake of an official and a half post, among them is Wang Yitang, the "first Han traitor in North China".
Born at the time of the change of fate, Wang Yitang was a jinshi in the last imperial examination of the Manchu Qing government in 1904.
I believe that those who have read "Fan Jin Zhongju" are not difficult to understand that although later generations attacked the Manchu Qing government's imperial examination system and regarded the "Eight Strands of Articles" as a shackle to imprison thought, it was not easy to be able to read and write in the context of the times at that time.
Whether it is social status or economic strength, it belongs to the middle and upper levels, not to mention being able to be listed in the imperial examination, and to a certain extent, it also represents a person's profound knowledge.
Wang Yitang not only has profound knowledge of his own, but also has a long history of family learning. Wang Yitang's father was a Xiucai from Hefei, where he taught.
Since the beginning of Wang Yitang's enlightenment, his father has taken him with him, reading and reading every day, and supervising him quite severely. Wang Yitang also did not live up to the expectations of his family, and at a young age, he showed a talent beyond ordinary people, belonging to a group of young and promising people who were young and talented, and who passed the examination early.
In addition to being intellectually pointed out, the young Wang Yitang would observe the color of speech and speculate very early on. In 1904, he was assigned to the Military Department.
Because he was young and old, and he was very good at reading the thoughts of his superiors, he was soon appreciated by Xu Shichang, the minister of military aircraft at that time. In the official field, Wang Yitang pondered the current situation, believing that in the environment at that time, Chongwu and Liuyang could help himself to become a knight.
Therefore, after his up-and-down operation, he obtained the opportunity to study in Japan at the official expense by virtue of his status as a jinshi, and entered the Zhenwu School in Tokyo. Wang Yitang, who studied in Japan, once again showed his flattery. He never interacted with chinese classmates because he considered himself superior.
Wang Yitang did not waste time alone, he kept writing letters to Yuan Shikai and Xu Shichang, reporting his study in Japan, what he saw and heard, attaching his own views and suggestions, and it did not matter if he could not receive a reply, Wang Yitang was happy about this matter.
When he was about to graduate from the Zhenwu School in Tokyo, Wang Yitang entered the new barracks for internship under the arrangement of the school, but here he was kicked and injured because of the conflict with the Japanese cobia, so he had to transfer to Hosei University in Japan.
At this time, news came from the country that Xu Shichang had served as the governor of the three eastern provinces, concurrently in charge of the affairs of the generals, and founded the governor's training office. Wang Yitang immediately dropped out of school and returned to China and defected to Xu Shichang.
Since then, Wang Yitang has often called himself a scholar of literature and martial arts. Although Xu Shichang once wrote in his call on Wang Yitang that this person "learned both Chinese and foreign languages, had both literature and martial arts, and was of great use", these advantages were completely covered up by his speculative drilling and profit-seeking flattery.

After the overthrow of the Qing government, Yuan Shikai soon seized power and became the president of the Republic of China. After Xu Shichang's recommendation, Wang Yitang joined the company and became a secretary, senator and adviser to the Presidential Office.
Originally, Wang Yitang did not belong to Yuan Shikai's concubines, but in terms of speculating about Yuan Shikai's intentions and the extent to which he could do it in order to please Yuan Shikai, no one could really match.
In order to deal with the League, Wang Yitang went up and down to organize the Republican Party; in order to achieve Yuan Shikai's goal of controlling the Congress, Wang Yitang used his status in the Senate to openly or covertly win over other members.
In the suppression of the "second revolution" and the election of the president and other important events, Wang Yitang can be said to have rushed to the forefront "without regard for himself", and for a long time, he was deeply pleased by Yuan Shikai, and gradually replaced the position of Liang Shiyi, a confidant of Yuan Shikai.
At that time, in the political circles of Beijing, there was once such a slip of the tongue, saying that Wang Yitang "grabbed President Yuan with both hands and kicked Liang Shiyi away."
In 1914, when Wang Yitang learned that Yuan Shikai had the intention of becoming emperor, he changed the work report to Yuan Shikai to the form of a recital, on which were blatantly written the words "Gong Cheng Yu Lan" and "Subjects Kneeling and Worshiping", yuan Shikai was also half pushed and half pushed, and from then on he trusted Wang Yi Tang even more.
Wang Yitang, who had won the patronage, was even more unscrupulous, and in the "Guohua Bao" sponsored by him, he advocated the imperial system and created an atmosphere of public opinion, and constantly "wrote to Yuan Shikai", saying that "calling the emperor" was the voice of the people and an arrangement of Providence.
Yuan Shikai also had to make a show and constantly resign. The two "Junchen" were staged back and forth many times in the complicated eyes of everyone, and finally Yuan Shikai "resigned" and became the "Hongxian Emperor".
Wang Yitang was not forgotten, was awarded the title of Baron of the First Class, and was awarded the rank of Lieutenant General plus General, which was unique for a time.
After Yuan Shikai lost power, Wang Yitang leaned on his compatriot, the Anhui warlord Duan Qirui. However, in the war between the direct and Anhui families, Wang Yitang was wanted and fled to Japan.
Later, when Duan Qirui returned to Beijing, he asked Wang Yitang to be the secretary general, and the cunning Wang Yitang judged that Duan Qirui had no strength, and vigorously resigned, only to become the governor of Anhui Province.
Later, Wang Yitang was dissatisfied with Duan Qirui's life, and he took Chiang Kai-shek's big ship, so he coaxed Duan Qirui to get Duan Qirui to Shanghai controlled by Chiang Kai-shek.
However, Chiang Kai-shek's earlier promise to Wang Yitang's official position was not fulfilled, and Wang Yitang turned to Chiang Kai-shek and began to secretly contact the Japanese.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > from the aid and abetting of warlord battles to the complete fall of the Gandang traitors</h1>
After the "July 7 Incident", Wang Yitang, who had been active in North China, believed that the time was ripe and was ready to win over a group of people to "steal power" with the support of the Japanese.
During this period, someone once advised Wang Yitang that although everyone did not have a good feeling for old Jiang, it was not a good idea to put a "traitor" hat on himself.
Wang Yitang, who thought that he was about to enter the center of power, could listen to it at this time, and if others did not do it, he would do it himself. In December 1937, Wang Yitang became a member of the Standing Committee of the pseudo-"Provisional Government of the Republic of China" established in Beiping and the chief of the Relief Department.
For the advice of others, Wang Yitang did not completely forget about it. He had always been cautious, and he had also left a way back for himself, in case the Japanese were really finished one day, Wang Yitang did not want to give them a funeral.
So Wang Yitang designed a shameful principle for his official career, that is, in the puppet government, he must be able to gain real fame and benefits, but he does not have to do anything serious.
Real power is used to enrich oneself, and what is not a serious matter is used to escape traitorous responsibility. Under his operation, this relief ministry was born.
In order to thank the Japanese for their support, Wang Yitang specially presented a poem to the Japanese emperor, calling himself a "foreign minister", and extremely diligently implemented Japan's policy of "feeding the war with war" and wantonly plundered the people's fat cream in north China for the Use of the Japanese.
Even the Japanese were shocked by the extent to which Wang Yitang had done it, and praised him one after another. Wang Yitang also became more and more energetic, militarily maintaining the number of "Imperial Allied Forces", reorganizing the local police and handing them over to the Japanese for training and command.
Because the "credit" is so great, the famous Japanese war criminal Okamura Ningji personally praised it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > the final performance</h1>
Around 1945, Wang Yitang sensed that the Japanese were about to die, hurriedly wrapped up the last of his greed, and resigned from all positions in the puppet government overnight.
Just after the Spring Festival in 1945, Wang Yitang, who was thinking of finding a way back for himself, found Li Sihao, who had refused to be a traitor with him, and asked him to say a few kind words for himself in front of Jiang Gong.
Li Sihao dared to take this stubble, and only replied that "there is nothing he can do, but ask the bodhisattva to bless him" and sent Wang Yitang away. In October of the same year, Dai Ka personally went to Beiping, taking Jiang Gong's instructions and preparing to settle accounts with the traitors of the puppet government.
Dai Kasa held a banquet in Wang Shijing's mansion and entertained more than 50 people, but wang Yitang was not seen. It turned out that the king had long known that this was the Hongmen Feast and tried to pretend to be ill to escape. Who knew that Dai Kasa had a clear purpose and carried Wang Yitang directly from his hospital bed to prison.
Wang Yitang, who was imprisoned, has always said that he is ill and can delay it, and when Chiang Kai-shek became president, he looked forward to "amnesty." In this way, although Wang Yitang was sentenced to death, he never sentenced him, and dragged on for nearly two years in the single room of the prison.
At the end of the execution, Wang Yitang was full of red light, completely unable to see that he was a "long-term sick person", and when asked what his last wishes were, he just kept saying that he wanted to appeal and pleaded with the government for mercy.
The prison guard, who was temporarily dragged to the execution, did not dare to say anything more, and was ready to shoot behind him, but he did not expect to shoot 4 shots in a row, but they were all jammed.
There was no way, I had to change a gun from the person next to me, this time the bullet entered from the back of the head and came out from the right front, Wang Yitang fell to the ground in response, but he was still shouting Kai En, and the people next to him were shocked and angry, so they had to shoot again.
This time, the gun could not be fired, and the 7th shot exploded a large hole in the left brain, and the brain plasma was suddenly shot. Wang Yitang, who had been sick for a long time, was like a worm with hundreds of feet, still twitching and shaking, for up to five minutes before finally looking up and breathing.
The metropolis is never short of psychedelic stories of the city, and the execution process of Wang Yitang has also been word of mouth that he wants to give this number one traitor in North China some bitter taste, which shows that people hate him deeply.
The right path in the world is vicissitudes, the road of revolution has never been completed by inviting guests to dinner, if you cannot adhere to your original intention, or from the best of all, you have no faith, and in the end you can only be crushed by the wheel of history.
