Chapter 51: The Puppet Manchurian Founded
In Changchun City, the Japanese army was nervously preparing for the founding ceremony of the puppet Manchukuo, and Pu Yi had been received to Changchun at this time, and was discussing something with Kenji Tohihara. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Your Majesty, it seems that you are still planning to adopt a constitutional monarchy for now."
"I'm not a person who can't eat the ancients, if the law of the ancestors can be flexible."
"Then I don't know the cabinet candidates in Your Majesty's mind, I can invite them for Your Majesty, by the way, I recommend someone to Your Majesty, this is our Kwantung Army's staff officer Yoshioka Yasunao, if Your Majesty has anything, he can help deal with it."
"See Your Majesty, this is your brother Pu Jie's letter of introduction to Your Majesty." Yoshioka took a letter and handed it to Pu Yi
"Oh, this letter says that you are a good friend of my imperial brother Pu Jie, and I want to prepare a place for you to work during the day, because you don't want to be with other people all day long, right?"
"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister and Pu Jie have a sibling relationship, my majesty and the emperor, although we can't be compared to siblings, it can be regarded as a finger and foot finger relationship, we are a quasi-family!"
"Haha, you're interesting, interesting, okay, I'll recognize you as a quasi-family, and you'll be by my side in the future, and you'll have to worry about some things."
Hearing Pu Yi say this, Yoshioka Yasunao and Kenji Dohihara glanced at each other and nodded imperceptibly. "Yoshioka, if you want to serve Your Majesty well, you must do your best to know?"
"Your Majesty, please also write to the people you want to invite to participate in the founding ceremony, otherwise this founding ceremony will be too deserted." Yoshioka had just taken up his post, so he put forward some suggestions very intimately, showing a loyal look of serving Pu Yi's death.
"I know about this matter, I wrote a good letter, Yoshioka asked you to help send it, by the way, on the day of the founding ceremony, I restored the country in the Manchu Dynasty, I want to go to the Taimiao to comfort the ancestors, and also make the ancestors know under the spring, bless me from this land of Longxing, and then return to the Central Plains."
On March 1, 1931, Japan officially issued a telegram announcing the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo, and on March 9, Puyi held the founding ceremony of the country, with the year name Datong, the capital Changchun, and renamed "Xinjing". At the same time, the appointment of the cabinet was announced.
Prime Minister Zheng Xiaoxu
Zang Shiyi, General Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Bao Kang, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs
Zheng Xiaoxu, General Minister of Culture and Education, and Xu Rudi, Deputy Minister of Culture and Education
Foreign Minister Xie Kai-shek and Vice Foreign Minister Tadaichi Ohashi
Wang Jingxiu, chief of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Makai Tsuruyoshi, deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs
Feng Hanqing, Minister of Justice, and Deputy Minister of Justice Masatake Furuda
Minister of Finance, Xiqia, Vice Minister of Finance, Sun Qichang
Zhang Yanqing, General Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Yasushun Takahashi, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Industry
Minister of Communications Ding Jianshu Deputy Minister of Communications Sadazo Hirai
In fact, it is not difficult to see from this list that although the chief of all departments is Chinese, most of the deputy heads of these departments are Japanese, and Pu Yi himself is aware of this situation, but when he wants Yoshioka to protest, Yoshioka is persuading Pu Yi, the chief of this group of departments is inexperienced, Japan as an example expressed concern for Pu Yi, and specially arranged for the deputy director to assist the chief.
"I can recruit an army." Pu Yi, who was fed up with the suffering of displacement, felt that the reason why he relied on the Japanese was because he did not have an army of his own.
"Please rest assured that Your Majesty can naturally recruit your own army, and the minister and the Kwantung Army will discuss it, and the Kwantung Army will not only help you train the army, but also provide your army with a batch of weapons and ammunition."
"That's good, thank you Yoshioka-kun for your help. With this group of troops, I will definitely be able to retake the Central Plains. “
"Your Majesty, there is no hurry to recapture the Central Plains, and there will still be chaotic people in the Northeast who are hindering Your Majesty's notice.
"Yoshioka-kun, what you said also makes some sense, I will arrange this recruitment matter, but you still need to communicate more with the Kwantung Army about this weapon and equipment."
"Your Majesty is serious, this is the duty of the minister, and he should do his best for His Majesty. Not only can Your Majesty inform me of the general candidates, but I also have an explanation with the Kwantung Army. “
"I want to choose Prince Su's eleventh son to be in charge of this matter."
"Your Majesty, it's not proper, Xianyuan has not received a professional education, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on a major responsibility."
"Then who do you say?" Pu Yi is actually testing Yoshioka, the army is particularly important in Pu Yi's heart, it must be in his own hands, in Pu Yi's eyes, if Yoshioka recommends a Japanese to do this, then he must have ulterior motives, he will never agree, and he will alienate him in the future.
"Your Majesty, I think Pu Jie can take on this great responsibility, Pu Jie has studied at the Japanese Continental University, and has received a modern command education, I think he is more suitable for this position than Xianyuan."
"Then do as you say." Pu Jie is my younger brother, and it is okay for this army to be handed over to him, it seems that this Yoshioka has no bad intentions, but he is simply thinking about me, and he is observing for a while, this person may be able to believe it.
The establishment of the puppet Manchurians set off an uproar in the whole of China, with the "Ta Kung Pao", "Zilin Xi Bao", "Declaration" and other newspapers as a platform, began a series of scolding wars, there are Manchu widows, old and young and Japanese bought newspapers to wave their flags and shout for it, claiming that this is an unprecedented cooperation between China and Japan, and Japan will lead China to establish a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and create an Asia for Asians. China will rise with the help of Japan, and the Northeast is a zodiacal paradise. There are also people who can see it clearly and scoff at this, saying that this is a naked lie, a fig leaf for the Japanese to invade the Northeast, and Pu Yi is a shameless traitor. The two sides come and go, and they quarrel happily.
In Nanjing, after learning that Pu Yi had established a puppet Manchurian regime in the northeast, Chang Kaishen scolded several times in the office for "motherly skin".
At this time, a person walked in outside the door and said to Chang Kaishen, "Chairman of the National Committee, Guangzhou has telegraphed the whole country, saying that we are not good for resisting Japan, and we must choose another meritorious." “
"Respectfully, then Wang Jingwei just wants to be the chairman himself, and he doesn't want to think about it, if the Red Party is not eliminated, how can he resist Japan."
"Chairman of the committee, it's better for us to mobilize some troops to go to the northeast to make a show, so that public opinion in the whole country will not be unfavorable to you."
"If the Japanese really fight with us, the rear is unstable, how can we free up our hands, it is going to destroy the country, rhetoric, I know you want to resist Japan, as long as the hidden danger of the Red Party is gone, it is good to let you go north to resist Japan immediately." Chang Kaishen also thought of a reason in order to stabilize Chen Cheng.
