2. The evil deeds and consequences of traitors

(1) The sources of traitors

There are roughly two sources of traitors serving the Japanese. One is bribery The second is to train the lackeys yourself.

1. Bribery

In the occupied areas, there are always some people who, regardless of the interests of the country and nation, work for the Japanese under the guise of having to eat and survive. In fact, they are all a group of speculators who want to cling to the Japanese in order to have power, take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, and satisfy their own greed.

Most of the traitors bought by the Japanese in Shanghai were hooligans who committed all kinds of evil and did not have much culture. The most famous gangster among them is Chang Yuqing. He opened a large bathroom and named it "Grand View Garden" for fear of being looked down upon as illiterate, which made people laugh. These hooligans indeed played a considerable role in indicating attack targets for the Japanese army and disrupting the rear of the national army during the Songhu Battle.

Literati rarely act as lackeys of the Japanese. There is a student studying in Japan, Yu Daxiong, who edits newspapers for the Japanese. However, he had a conflict of interest with the rough man Chang Yuqing, and was later hacked to death in the bathroom by Chang's apprentice. It can be seen that at that time, there were many conflicts and difficulties between the traitors and traitors.

2. Cultivation

In addition to bribery, the Japanese also cultivated many literati to drive them. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the Gengzi Year and signed a treaty to compensate the countries of the Eight-Power Allied Forces with customs revenue every year. The United States first used this money to establish Tsinghua University and Union Medical College Hospital, and other countries followed suit. Japan also used these reparations for cultural aggression, such as opening the "Dongbun Academy" and so on.

The Japanese hope to train all graduates of Tongwen School to become pro-Japanese elements. But the result was counterproductive. Only some of them became Japanese translators or employees of Japanese trading companies, and most of them eventually became anti-Japanese elements. There are not only Chinese but also Japanese who study in Shanghai Tongwen Academy. One of them pretended to be Chinese and tried to win over Chen Cunren, but he was actually an anti-war activist. It can be seen that the Japanese brainwashing strategy failed very much. The Chinese people refused to listen, and even the Japanese themselves did not believe it.

(2) Big traitors

The Japanese pay special attention to cultivating some big traitors and use their influence to serve Japan's invasion and occupation.

1. Wang Jingwei

Wang Jingwei was an early revolutionary figure within the Kuomintang and was extremely famous. Chen Cunren heard his speech at Minli Middle School when he was a student and admired him quite a lot.

People like Wang should have integrity and not be traitors, but they are not. Wang Jingwei was capricious throughout his life. He once became sworn brothers with Yuan Shikai's eldest son Yuan Keding, and also interacted with many warlords and scum of the Republic of China. He himself has always wanted to be a leader, and his wife Chen Bijun also wants to be the first lady. At that time, Wang Jingwei was depressed in Chongqing, so he went abroad to Vietnam. He lost confidence in the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and issued the famous "Yan Dian" in Hanoi, advocating peace between China and Japan, which actually meant surrendering to Japan. Later, Wang Jingwei was attacked by an assassin. Japanese agents took the opportunity to persuade him to escape Vietnam on the Japanese "Hokuang Maru" and fell into the water in Shanghai and became a traitor.

What the Japanese value is the little remaining political value of Wang Jingwei, hoping that Wang's surrender will undermine the rule of the Chongqing government and collapse the resistance of the Chinese. In order to lure Wang Jingwei into trouble, the Japanese promised that Wang would reorganize the Nanjing government and unify the leadership of the country's administration. After Wang came to power, he indeed recruited a group of old members of the Kuomintang. However, most of these people just want to make a fortune, and internal strife is very fierce. Puppet governments everywhere ignored Wang Jingwei, and their dream of becoming a leader came to nothing. When he arrived in Peiping, Wu Peifu refused to meet him, and his childhood classmate Wang Kemin deliberately asked him to visit Yuan Keding. Wang Jingwei knew that this was exposing his scars, and even his face turned red, but he had no choice but to do anything.

The Japanese did not look forward to the rebellion of the ten divisions of the National Army and the split within the Kuomintang that Wang boasted about, so they no longer paid attention to him and actually forced him to go to "Manchukuo" to meet Puyi, the original target of the revolution.

Political frustration and fear of his wife caused Wang to suffer from extremely severe neurasthenia. Later, Wang Jingwei died in Japan, and his tomb in Nanjing was razed to the ground.

2. Tang Shaoyi

Tang Shaoyi served as the first Prime Minister of the Republic of China, and was also regarded by the Japanese as a target figure to lead the southern puppet regime.

His daily life is extremely luxurious, and his savings cannot withstand such consumption. Once secretly contacted by the Japanese, he is ready to fall into trouble and become a traitor. Moreover, Tang was quite ambitious and wanted to be the president of the "coalition government". Not only did he have to control the "Reformation Government" in Nanjing, but also the "North China Provisional Government" in Peking was under the jurisdiction of the coalition government. Just as he was dreaming of the president, he was hacked to death with a sharp ax hidden in a vase by a Kuomintang military agent disguised as an antique dealer.

3. Fu Xiaoan

After the Japanese occupied Shanghai, they wanted to find a Shanghainese to be the mayor. Intellectuals are unwilling to surrender to the enemy, so they thought of Fu Xiao'an, a leader in the business community. He once served as the General Office of the Investment Promotion Bureau, the President of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, and the General Manager of the Shanghai Commercial Bank. His qualifications and status are far above those of the Taiwanese Mayor Su Xiwen of the "Dao Dao Government".

Fu Xiaoan is a cross-border expert in politics and business, and he is not originally a pro-Japanese element. He had close contacts with the warlord Sun Chuanfang and used China Merchants Ships to help Sun purchase arms. Therefore, he was wanted by the Northern Expeditionary Army. He had no choice but to flee to the Japanese Concession to seek asylum from the Japanese. This man indeed had business and administrative talents, and soon became a Chinese business leader in the Japanese concessions in Dalian and Tianjin, and had close contacts with the Japanese. When the Shanghai Municipal Government was reorganized, the Japanese asked him to serve as mayor. Fu Xiaoan readily accepted because of his old grudge with the Kuomintang. Unexpectedly, his old servant Zhu Shengyuan was bribed by Dai Li and hacked Fu to death with a kitchen knife.

The two traitors before and after were eliminated by the military command. It has to be said that the spy organization can also make a difference in the fight against Japan.

4. Cultural figures Chen Qun, Liang Hongzhi, and Chu Minyi

Chen Qun, Liang Hongzhi, and Chu Minyi are considered to be the few cultural figures in the Wang puppet government.

When Chen Qun was in poverty and surrendered to the enemy, he still wanted to get money to become a Buddha and run a newspaper for the "reform government". Qian Huafo makes a living by selling paintings. Although he has always been poorer than Chen and has been owed rent for a long time, he still firmly does not want to get promoted and get rich. This also shows that most literati still have integrity. There is no one available for the propaganda work of the Japanese and puppet government, and the newspapers they run naturally have little effect.

Chen Qun cannot be said to be useless, but he also has merit in protecting cultural relics. It turned out that after the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, they discovered a batch of antiques, ancient books and paintings hidden in the "Chaotian Palace" and planned to transport them to Tokyo. These are all exquisite items that originally belonged to the Forbidden City. Due to the war, they will not have time to be transferred in the future. After Chen Qun learned about it, he told Liang Hongzhi, the director of the Executive Yuan of the "reform government", about the origin of these antiquities. In desperation, Liang Hongzhi led the ministers to submit their resignations to show their determination to prevent the Japanese from moving. Fortunately, the Japanese did not know the value of these antiquities and were unwilling to dismantle the reform government, so these antiquities were preserved in Nanjing. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, an inventory found that more than half remained. Of course, some of them were used by Chen Qun for personal gain.

In comparison, Chu Minyi is much more confused and perverse.

Although Chu Minyi is a doctor of medicine, he never talks about medicine, and he never treats patients. Once, he suddenly asked Chen Cunren about how to take deer tail, velvet antlers, cistanche deserticola, tiger penis and other medicines. Liu Haisu, who was sitting next to him at the time, interjected, "Such people have such diseases." It turned out that he studied abroad at a French medical school. At that time, I was engaged in revolution and being romantic, but I was not that attentive to reading.

He was only very interested in studying animal mating. He wrote a graduation thesis on the structure of rabbit vagina and received a doctorate. His old friends called him "Dr. Rabbit Yin".

Chu Minyi believes that human sexual organs are also very different, and he is particularly interested in this aspect. He often visited dance halls and brothels, and liked to collect and show "little movies", mostly from France and Germany, but also quite a few from Japan. Chu Minyi spent money freely in Shanghai, and his source of income actually came from France's Boxer Indemnity. Originally, this money was returned by France to the Chinese government for cultural undertakings and was managed by a Sino-French association. As other directors left Shanghai one after another due to the Sino-Japanese War, the power to sign the payment fell on Chu Minyi.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was sentenced to death. Li Shizeng, his classmate and old friend who studied in France, believed that Chu Minyi was more than foolish and loyal, but not evil enough, and they obtained a suspended execution warrant from the highest authorities for him. Things in the world are unpredictable. Chu Minyi was confused throughout his life, and his family members were even more confused. His daughter lost this life-saving warrant on the way from Nanjing to Suzhou. This also ended his confused life.

(3) The fate of the traitors

In addition to the above-mentioned big traitors, there are more small traitors. As traitors, they could only oppress their own people, and they were equally humiliated in front of the Japanese.

Sun Jiafu, the chairman of the Maintenance Association, wanted to send his drug-addicted son to the hospital for emergency treatment, but the Japanese soldiers guarding the checkpoint refused to recognize the pass. The Sun family first bowed deeply, and then knelt down humbly. The Japanese soldiers slapped them four times before letting them go. Shi Yousan, a veteran traitor in the north, once said a famous saying: "If you have been a traitor, you will be a bastard again!"

Wang sent so many traitors, who looted countless people's wealth, and later shot them all. After being imprisoned, few people get a happy ending. Pan Sansheng, who ran a casino, fled to Hong Kong and died in poverty and illness in the Waldo Hotel.

The fate of these traitors was probably that of Chen Cunren. The embodiment of the law of cause and effect that has been mentioned.
