Chapter 462 The Last Emperor
The puppet Manchukuo, Kwantung Army Headquarters.
"Prince, Premier Zhang, please sit down!"
Ishihara Kaner met with Kant, the puppet Manchukuo Emperor Aisin Gioro Puyi and Zhang Jinghui, the puppet Manchukuo Prime Minister, in the reception room.
Because of his effectiveness in governing Manchukuo, Ishihara Kanr was promoted to commander of the Kanto Army a few days ago, becoming the actual controller of the puppet Manchukuo, and taking over the military and political power of Manchukuo.
After the September 18th Incident in 1931, Japanese imperialism occupied the entire Northeast China region, making it a colony of Japan.
On March 9, 1932, under the instigation of the Japanese army, the last emperor Puyi secretly fled from Tianjin to the northeast and established a puppet regime in Changchun - the puppet Manchukuo.
Because the National Government, the Communist Party of China and the international community do not recognize the puppet Manchukuo regime, it is called "puppet Manchukuo" or "puppet Manchukuo".
The "capital" is located in Xinjing (now Changchun, Jilin), and its "territory" includes the entire territory of the three eastern provinces in China except Kanto Prefecture (now Lushun and Dalian), as well as Chengde City in Dongmeng and Hebei Province.
Puyi didn't say anything, sat on a wooden chair with expressionless face, just staring at Ishihara Smile with his eyes.
"Thank you, Commander! Congratulations"
Zhang Jinghui was full of flattery, nodded and replied before she sat down.
Zhang Jinghui, the leader of the Fengtian warlord, was born in a peasant family in Bajiaotai, Fengtian (now Tai'an County, Liaoning).
In his youth, Zhang Jinghui followed his father to sell tofu for a living, and later became the leader of the Self-Defense Corps. After the September 18th Incident, he became a traitor and served as the Speaker of the Pseudo Senate and the Chief of the East Provincial Special Administrative Region, the Minister of Military Affairs, and the Prime Minister of the Manchurian Prime Minister.
The first "Prime Minister" of the "Public Manchukuo" was Zheng Xiaoxu, but Zheng Xiaoxu was convicted for his words and removed from office by the Japanese for his words.
Zhang Jinghui, who was the "Speaker of the Senate" at the time, took over as the "Prime Minister" and worked for more than ten years as the "Prime Minister". She can be called the tumbler in the political arena of Manchukuo.
As the Japanese said, Zhang Jinghui has no opinion on his work and only obeys the Japanese. He is a traitor who is servile to the Japanese and is a complete scum!
The Japanese gave whatever they wanted. In order to support the Japanese invasion of China, Zhang Jinghui even removed the copper handles on the doors and windows of the State Council office buildings and made bullets for the Japanese.
"To invite the emperor and the Prime Minister to come to the headquarters today, there is an extremely important and exciting thing to discuss with you!"
Ishihara Kaner didn't care about Puyi's cold attitude, but instead acted very kind and enthusiastic.
“…”
Puyi still didn't say anything, staring at Ishihara Smiley, just wanting to see what tricks he wanted to play.
It has to be said that Puyi is a historical tragic figure. In 1908, he ascended the throne that people dreamed of a few years ago. This is also the beginning of his tragic life.
Puyi ascended the throne of emperor three times in his life, but eventually he stepped down in disgrace!
When the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, Puyi defected to the Japanese Embassy and later became the emperor of the puppet Manchukuo, and also lived a life of imprisonment.
It is really cowardly to treat an emperor like this.
Especially when he came back from Japan, he said at the meeting of ministers that Manchukuo would be on an equal footing with Japan, and the Japanese generals and his so-called ministers left the seat one by one. Who could he vent that helplessness and anger?
Puyi wanted to go to the puppet Manchukuo to be the emperor. Wanrong advised him not to go. If he went, he was just a tool by the Japanese, but he went there in the end, and he was willing to be a puppet of the Japanese.
Because at that time Puyi still had fantasies, and wanted to use the power of the Japanese to restore the throne, and then endure humiliation and revival of the Qing Empire!
However, the Qing Dynasty had already exhausted its energy, and no one could rebel against the rivers of history.
Puyi was cold and did not respond, but Zhang Jinghui nodded and replied again: "Commander, it is a great honor for us to be summoned by you! I don't know if the commander has anything to give, so we will definitely help you!"
"Yoxi! Premier Zhang is worthy of being the most loyal friend of our great Japanese empire!"
Ishihara Kaner nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to a big redwood box on the table and said, "Before I talk about the serious business, I still have a small gift to give to the emperor!
Come and send it to the emperor!”
"Hayi!"
As soon as Ishihara Kan'er finished speaking, a Japanese guard came over, picked up the mahogany box and came to Puyi and Zhang Jinghui.
"Thank you, Commander!"
Zhang Jinghui quickly stood up and took the mahogany box with both hands, and then said to Puyi: "Emperor, this is the commander's sincere wish. Please accept it with a smile!"
"snort!"
Puyi glared at Zhang Jinghui in dissatisfaction, but there was no way to reach out and take the big wooden box and place it on the tea table next to it.
Ishihara smiled and asked, "Emperor, aren't you curious about what gift is here? Please open it yourself!"
Puyi bit his lip, and reluctantly reached out and opened the wooden box. Then his eyes suddenly solidified, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah, is this a dragon robe?"
When he learned that Puyi was going to be the emperor in the puppet Manchukuo in the northeast, the old and young people of the Qing Dynasty rushed over and became Puyi's ministers again.
The Japanese also gave Puyi special face and did not stop these people.
However, when Puyi was about to ascend the throne, the Japanese asked Puyi to wear a marshal's outfit, and the remaining young men immediately exploded. This was not in line with the rules of the Qing emperor ascending the throne.
Under the struggle between the two sides, the Japanese agreed to Puyi wear a dragon robe to perform a brief ceremony for offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors before ascending the throne, and the subsequent ceremony of ascending the throne still wears a marshal's outfit.
Puyi's dragon robe was still a dragon robe from Guangxu back then, while the official uniforms of the old and young people could only ask someone to borrow or buy them everywhere.
These temporary official uniforms do not fit at all, and everyone is dressed very well.
Of course, there is also the issue of court beads, so they simply took off the abacus beads on the abacus and made them into beads. At the ceremony of worshiping heaven and ancestors, the Japanese looked at the old and young men wearing official uniforms of different sizes and sizes, as if they were watching a monkey performance.
Therefore, the dragon robe is a completely unattainable luxury for Puyi, and it is also his obsession and resentment that he has always had.
However, at this time, Ishihara Kaner personally gave him a dragon robe with extremely exquisite workmanship. How could Puyi remain cold and noble?
After the farce of ascending the throne, Puyi also visited Japan at the "invitation" of Emperor Hirohito of Japan.
From the time Puyi stepped into Japan, all the highest specifications were welcomed, which made Puyi feel successful in restoring the Qing Dynasty.
At the biggest banquet, Puyi had a meal with the Japanese royal family and senior military officials. Before everyone could move their chopsticks, Puyi's entourage first stirred the dishes with silver needles.
These are all things that the old people told them specifically. Although these were the rules of the emperor when he was having dinner, the Japanese would have taken action to poison Puyi.
