1. The goddess of Huangquan

While making the fire of the earth god, Izanami was burned and was bedridden. He soon died of illness as a result.

Izanagi wanted to see his wife, Izanami, so he chased him all the way to Huangquan Province. In front of the main hall of the Yellow Springs Kingdom, Izanami opened the door from the hall to greet him. At this time, Izanagi consulted with his wife and said, "My dear wife, the land that I and you have created is not yet complete, so please go back with me!" ”

Izanami replied, "What a pity! You didn't come earlier, I have already eaten the meal of the Yellow Springs. However, since you came to me on purpose, I am willing to go back! Let me consult with the gods of Yellow Springs. But don't look at me in the meantime. After saying this, Izanami returned to the temple. After a long time, Izanagi got tired of waiting, so he took off the multi-toothed wooden comb he wore on his left bun, broke off one of the side teeth, lit a fire, and went to the temple to see it. I saw Izanami's life full of maggots wriggling, his qi became congested, and his whole body turned into a total of eight thunder gods. Izanagi was astonished and frightened when he saw this, and turned and fled. Izanami's life is a mixture of shame and anger. Immediately sent the Huangquan Ghost Girl to chase after him. Izanagi ordered him to remove the black hair ornament from his head and throw it to the ground. Wild grapes soon grew on the black hair, and Izanagi escaped while the ghost girl was picking grapes to eat. Izanami sent eight thunder gods again. He led 1,500 Huangquan troops to catch up. Izanagi drew his ten-fist sword and fled as he cut down the rushing Huangquan army. It was chased all the way to the border of the Yellow Spring, Hirazaka. At this time, Izanagi ordered to pluck three peaches from the peach tree at Sakashita, and when the Huangquan army chased after them, he beat the peaches at them. Seeing the peach smashing at him, the Huangquan army fled back in a hurry (it is said that the peach tree can ward off evil spirits. Could it be that peaches are also ...... )。 Izanagi said to Momoko, "Just as you helped me, when the sembling beings in Reedyuan China are in trouble in the future, you should also save them." So he gave them the name of Yifujia Mudou. It means the god of the great immortal peach. In the end, Izanami personally chased after him. Izanagi ordered to block the Yellow Spring Hirazaka with a thousand stones. They stood face to face across the Thousand Stones, vowing to be husband and wife. Izanami said, "My husband, since you have done this to me. I will kill a thousand every day in your country. Izanagi said, "Oh my wife! If you do that, I'll build 1,500 maternity wards every day. "So a thousand people will die every day, and a thousand and a thousand fifteen hundred people will be born every day (so the population will grow...... )。 For this reason, Izanami is known as the great god of Huangsenzu.

2. The ominous incident of the emperor

(1) Failed coup d'état

(Japanese: two?) Erliu Incident), also known as "Emperor Du Ominous Incident" or "Ominous Event". Refers to a failed coup d'état that took place in the Empire of Japan on February 26, 936. At dawn on February 26, 1936, 1,500 Japanese soldiers, led by the 3rd Guards Infantry Wing led by a young officer of the Imperial Mission, attacked the Prime Minister's Office and several other key offices. He killed Minister of the Interior Minoru Saito, Director of Education Watanabe Shotaro, and Minister of Finance Takahashi Isaki, and seriously injured the Emperor's attendant Nagataro Suzuki. After that, he occupied the Nagata Town area for four days. The purpose of these people's uprising was to "respect the emperor and fight against traitors" and to carry out the "Showa Restoration," but in fact the cause of the uprising was a long-term struggle between the imperial faction and the control faction, and between the officers of the army and the officers of the staff. The 226 Incident was also the largest rebellion in Japan's modern history and an important event in the development of Japanese fascism in the 1930s.

(2) Social background

When Hitler established the fascist dictatorship in Germany and formed the European source of world wars, the fascist forces in Asia and Japan also began to rise. The 226 Incident was an attempted military coup d'état carried out by soldiers from the Imperial Road faction on February 26, 1936 (Showa 11) in Japan, when young officers and soldiers of the Army rebelled. The failure of the coup d'état allowed the ruling faction led by Hideki Tojo to take the opportunity to purge the political power of the hostile Imperial Road soldiers.

(3) The coup d'état begins

On February 25, 1936, a heavy snowfall in Tokyo, Japan, that had not been seen in decades, was stained red with blood. Someone told the police, saying: "Some young officers of the 1st Army Division stationed in Tokyo and about to be transferred to Northeast China are going to launch a rebellion and assassinate important government officials. "The Japanese authorities are very nervous, and they are all soldiers. The doors and windows of the Prime Minister's official residence were reinforced with steel bars, and sirens leading to the Metropolitan Police Department were installed.

In the middle of the night on February 25, 1936, a rare heavy snow fell from the sky, and the city of Tokyo was silent. At 5 a.m. on the morning of 26 July, nine core officers of the coup d'état, including Captain Kiyosada Kada, Captain Teru Ando, Captain Kono Totobuki, and Captain Shiro Nonaka, led more than 1,000 officers and men to seize rifles, machine guns, and other weapons from the station's arsenal.

(4) The suppression of the coup d'état

On the 28th, at the repeated urging of the emperor, the hesitant military headquarters finally made up its mind to suppress it. With the Emperor's consent, Deputy Army Commander Sugiyama Motomo issued a "Decree of Honor" instructing the martial law commander to quickly evacuate the officers and subordinates who occupied Miyakezaka and return to their subordinate units. The order was then officially communicated to the 1st Division. The Martial Law Command decided to complete preparations for the repression on the 29th and began a crusade against the rebels.

The troops that participated in the suppression of the coup d'état were 7,000 men from each of the Guards Division and the 1st Division, and 6,000 troops from the 2nd and 14th Divisions were transferred from Sendai and Utsunomiya, for a total of nearly 24,000 men. On the morning of 29 July, two army generals, Araki and Mazaki, went to the martial law headquarters to negotiate in order to avoid armed suppression of the rebel forces, but they refused, and Ishihara Waner, a staff officer of the martial law troops, drove the two generals out of the headquarters. After they left, Commander Kashii again proposed to avoid "the Imperial Army attacking each other", but Sugiyama firmly disagreed, and insisted on a military crusade according to the Emperor's edict. Tanks on the streets of Tokyo are equipped with loudspeakers and broadcast the "Letter to Officers and Soldiers" read by Nakamura, a famous announcer from the famous NHK. The statement, issued by the Martial Law Command, said: "It is not too late to return to the recovery team; Those who resist are all traitors, and they don't matter if they are shot; Your parents and brothers are weeping that you have become national thieves. At the same time, planes circled over the coup troops and dropped leaflets entitled "Letter to Officers and Soldiers" to persuade them to return to their barracks.

By this time, the rebels had held out for three days in the harsh winter, exhausted and demoralized. After hearing the radio and picking up leaflets, they broke away from the rebels and returned to their original units. The officers who instigated the rebellion saw that the tide was turning, and they did not stop it. The officers were then arrested by martial law forces and concentrated in the Army Provincial compound. Okamura Ninji, an officer of the ruling faction who held them, had asked the nurses of the First Garrison Hospital to prepare disinfectant and cotton wool, as well as more than 30 coffins, but the rebel officers refused to commit suicide and wanted to "expose the conspiracy of the warlords" through a public trial.

(5) Handling of coup d'état

Drawing lessons from the public trial of the Aizawa case, the Army Chief's Department conducted a military trial against the mastermind of the coup d'état. Since the 226 Incident directly threatened the Emperor's right to rule, the handling of the rebel officers was unusually harsh. On July 5, the Military Judge Advocate Council sentenced 17 military officers, including Isobe and Koda, who had played a leading role in the coup, to death. Interestingly, there was no mention of murder in the sentencing, and the sentencing was based solely on the fact that the officers had committed the crime of using the Imperial Army without the Emperor's approval. Kita Ichiki and Nishida, who supported the riots behind the scenes, and Saburo Aizawa, who slashed Nagata, were also executed. The rest of the non-commissioned officers and soldiers were exempted from punishment because they merely obeyed the orders of their superiors. The severity of the punishment of the coup soldiers this time far exceeded that of previous treatments, and it was obvious that there was an intention to completely eradicate the influence of the Imperial Road faction and Kita Ikki. At the top of the military department, under the auspices of Terauchi Shouichi, the unification faction also took the opportunity to carry out a large-scale personnel "purge." Araki, Masaki, and Kawashima were relieved of active duty, and all officers who tended to the idea of the Imperial Way were purged from the core of the Army. At this point, the unification faction completely grasped the real power of the army and established absolute control over the army, which was a sign that Japan embarked on the road of militarism.
