Chapter 47: The Exile (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Heavy snow is falling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoOvernight, the entire city of Mukden was completely covered with snow, and when it was almost evening, a strong wind blew again, and the wind roared in the chimneys and the treetops. The wind whistled bitterly as it chased the snowflakes that swirled and dodged left and right in the trees.
In this piece of wind and snow, a steam boat from Yingkou slowly approached the Liaohe wharf, one after another passengers against the cold wind along the gangplank off the boat, at this time the Liaohe wharf, crowded with passengers who have just disembarked, more but still waiting for the passengers on board, maybe this is the last steamboat before the closure of the river, maybe after the white hair wind blows this night, the Liaohe River will be frozen, and then go to Yingkou I am afraid that you will have to take a carriage, anyway, in a word, it is far less convenient than taking a boat.
When the bustling passengers walked out of the dock with their luggage, more than a dozen rickshaws surrounded them, and while the drivers were shouting business, some passengers looked at the snow and hesitated to sit in the rickshaw, while more passengers walked towards the station outside the dock, which was the tram platform, and after several months of intense construction, several tram lines were finally opened in Fengtian City.
Among the passengers, a middle-aged man of low stature stood out very much, not his short and stout figure, nor his black woolen coat, but the burst of eyes, which always made people think that he was a very shrewd fellow, and a child of seven or eight years old beside him followed him step by step.
Although many of the passengers waiting for the train were dressed in Western style like them, if you are well-informed, you can still guess that they are Orientals. Now. More and more Orientals are coming to the mainland. No way, who let this be a group of lost dogs! However, the father and son did not have the consciousness of a lost dog.
However, not many people in the cold wind would notice the father and son, at most they just thought it was a little strange that they had raised their fingers - they were standing on the edge of the platform, facing the wind and snow as if they were observing something, especially the seven or eight-year-old boy in the school uniform, his eyes were staring at the surroundings tightly, and his lips moved slightly, as if he was carrying something. Until the time the tram came. After getting into the car, the boy looked back at the dock from time to time.
"Yingji, what are you remembering?"
Hidekyo Tojo, who was riding the train for the first time, would always look at the train from time to time, and when he looked at the snowflakes flying outside the train, his overly serious face always had a little melancholy, and when he looked back, he saw his son writing something in his hand.
"Father, I remember that I saw two trams on the pier just now, and the distance between the left and right directions was four minutes...... Hmph"
As he spoke, Hideki Tojo sucked the snot that was about to come out. This is what his father taught him to see everything. All that comes to mind is written down in the ledger.
"Yo Xi!"
Tojo Hidekyo gave a rare compliment, and then turned his eyes out of the car again, at this time the public tram had already driven into the city of Mukden, by the light of the street lamp, while looking at the city, his heart was full of countless questions, or full of doubts about the future.
Until now, he couldn't even understand why he couldn't choose to disembowel, like a samurai, when he was defeated.
Not many people actually have a caesarean section! Even in the entire staff headquarters, no one was disemboweled, and almost everyone obediently chose to accept it.
A week ago, when the news of Ito's signing of the "Instrument of Surrender" in St. Petersburg reached the General Staff Headquarters, including Deputy Chief of Staff Kawakami Koroku, he only sighed.
"It's all over!"
Closing his eyes, Hidekyo Tojo thought of what Kawakami had said to him.
"Okay, Yingjiao, now that our responsibilities are over, the rest of the matter is to surrender to the Lu people, and it has nothing to do with you!"
When the deputy chief of staff with dark circles in his eyes said that, Tojo Hidekyo saw tears rolling in his eyes.
"Get out of here, don't do anything stupid, the defeat has nothing to do with you!"
Nothing to do with it?
Does it really not matter?
When the train was slowly driving in Mukden City, Tojo Hidekyo looked at the strange city outside the car window, and couldn't help but be a little dazed, he is now like many Japanese exiles in China, he is a refugee without a country, Japan, Japan no longer exists, how can the survival of Japan have nothing to do with them?
"Hideki, remember, you are Japanese! You know! β
Once again, Hidekyo Tojo solemnly admonished his son, as if he was afraid that he would forget, because he knew that a comfortable life would always make people forget many things, especially for a child like him.
"Yes, father, I remember!"
When Hideki Tojo solemnly nodded and wrote down his father's advice, another sentence that seemed a little contradictory came out of Hideyo Tojo's mouth,
"Now, we have arrived in China, Yingji, you must learn Chinese well, you know? Now you want China, you have to learn Chinese, and even ...... like Chinese"
Retracting his gaze from the car and casting his eyes on his son, Tojo Hidekyo's voice sank, as if he was sighing for this contradictory statement, but on the other hand, he expressed a kind of helplessness, helplessness as an exile who had no choice.
Exiles, for every exile, need to go through all kinds of complex mental journeys, from the initial anger, sadness, until calm, and in the end it is to face it calmly, but this is not the final journey of the exile For some exiles, from the initial grief and indignation to calmness This is a process, but after calm, they will "jump" to a new realm, and this realm is the realm of the real exile.
The "East Asian Tongwen Society", which is at odds with the Ministry of Education of the Governor's Office, is not very conspicuous in Shenyang, but in the past few months, the "Yellow Soul Society", which has led the implementation of activities such as cutting braids and changing clothes in various parts of the Northeast, is a subordinate organization of the Tongwen Society, and for its members, how to restore national consciousness and pride has always been its most important work.
If it weren't for the Governor's Palace's millions of funds, the "Yellow Soul Society" would not have been able to replace the old with the new. The Hanfu that disappeared from the land of China for more than 200 years. Recreate the lives of ordinary people. Even those banner women were greedy for cheapness, so they exchanged old clothes for new clothes and wore Hanfu.
However, compared with the radical "Yellow Soul Society", as its leader, the East Asian Tongwen Society seems to be extremely calm, compared to the Yellow Soul Society, which gathers a large number of radical youth, the East Asian Tongwen Society gathers a group of East Asian scholar elites, including Korean scholars and Japanese professors and scholars.
Unlike the street activities to which radical youth are accustomed, most of the scholars in the Tongwen Society are accustomed to publishing articles in newspapers and magazines. Almost every day, there is always a gathering and salon attended by scholars in the East Asian Tongwen Society, which includes both hardcore members and some peripheral professors and scholars.
Although the cold wind and heavy snow were falling outside, it was still warm as spring in the gathering room of the Tongwen Society, and the guests in suits sat on the sofas, sipping famous tea from the south of the Yangtze River and talking freely.
ββ¦β¦ You are all friends, and there is no need to talk about the past, such as yesterday's death. Today is the day of the day, from the well-known. Now Japan has become extinct, and Japan's demise is entirely due to its own hubris......"
When it comes to the demise of Japan, Jiro Ozaki no longer has any grief, let alone a burst of grief like some Japanese professors in the school, but instead shows a look of relief. Although there was no sadness in his expression, his views were unanimously agreed by the people around him, the destruction of the country and the enslavement of the nation will always make people reflect on many things, and sometimes reflection will always make people go from one extreme to the other.
"Japan's fate has actually been sealed since the moment we abandoned the Chinese civilization, and what is the future of Japan now? To endure Russian enslavement, or to fight for freedom? This is obviously the most important question at the moment, war, there is definitely no hope, Russia is dozens of times stronger than Japan! How can Japan defeat it? β
Despair, it is this desperate mood that makes many Japanese choose to obey after the government announces their surrender, of course, this is also related to the servility in the bones of the Japanese, and even it is this despair that makes Ozaki Jiro become a backbone member of the East Asian Tongbun Association, and he is also a supporter and advocate of the "mother country to be strong".
Although not all Japanese in exile in China agree with the "mother country is strong" theory put forward by Jiro Ozaki and others on the basis of "the same language and the same species in East Asia", Ozaki Jiro's words have always incited some people, and as is the case now, no one will refute his remarks at all, after all, what he tells is the truth.
ββ¦β¦ In fact, this war is not just a war between Japan and Russia, but the beginning of a decisive battle between the East and the West, in fact, it has sounded the clarion call that the West wants to destroy the East, to be precise, the Taixi civilization wants to destroy and enslave the Chinese civilization, gentlemen, we must understand that in the past thousands of years, the East such as Japan, Korea, and the South Sea, such as Annam, its civilization is derived from the Chinese professor, China can be said to be the mother of East Asian countries such as Japan, Korea and Annam, and the countries have enjoyed the blessing of the mother country of China for thousands of years. As a result, all countries have been prosperous for thousands of years, and China, as our mother country, has resisted Mongolia and the Manchurian Rongdi with one force, and today the countries of East Asia have fallen into the hands of the Western Rongdi, and it is not precisely because the mother country is not strong that it cannot be blessed by us......
Since the establishment of the East Asian Tongwen Society, under the deliberate guidance of Tang Haoran, in addition to carrying out the "bloodline" propaganda of "East Asian countries with the same language and the same species", it has paid more attention to the propaganda of "China", and placed China in the position of "guardian of East Asia", and at the same time combined the enslavement of Asia today with the "land sinking of China".
And history also gives evidence for this view - at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even the Zheng regime in Taiwan defeated the Westerners many times, thus defending the East Asian countries without losing, and those such as Korea and Japan enjoyed hundreds of years of peace entirely with the power of China, until the Manchu Qing Dynasty was defeated by the Westerners and the East Asian wall was completely destroyed, and the ambitions of the Westerners in Asia naturally expanded unprecedentedly.
For example, Annam and Japan were encroached upon by the Western powers, and if the Koreans were not painstakingly managed, they would probably be invaded by the Westerners. This led to the status of the "guardian of Chinese civilization", and Tang Haoran, as the "revivalist of Chinese civilization", and the Northeast authorities naturally inherited this position.
For example, the Japanese, in the Meiji era, advocated "leaving Asia and joining Europe", in fact, they abandoned civilization and entered barbarism, and their ambition was more ambitious to be with Western beasts, intending to take China as an enemy, in order to enrich themselves, but they did not know that the ambition of the West was here, when Japan abandoned its friends in East Asia, in the company of Western ghosts and animals, and had the crazy idea of carving up China, it was the day of Japan's demise, and now Japan's demise is not only not a painful thing in East Asia, a tragedy for the Japanese people, but a blessing for East Asia and a peace nation! β
With a bang, before Ozaki Jiro's words fell, it caused chaos, especially those Japanese scholars, who looked at Ozaki in amazement, not knowing how he could say such words.
"Professor Ozaki, you are too much, how is the destruction of Japan a blessing for East Asia, and how is it a blessing for the Japanese race!"
One scholar's objection immediately drew a chorus, and Jiro Ozaki immediately retorted.
"How can it not be a blessing for East Asia? Now that Japan is dead, isn't it the absurdity of India's "separation from Asia and entry into Europe"? Japan was occupied by Russia, isn't it a time for the Japanese people to reflect on it? The demise of Japan today, in Japan, in the He people, can be said to be the world's most fortunate thing, if we blindly allow the spread of ideas such as "leaving Asia and joining Europe", until a few decades later, Japan will be on the verge of extinction, what should we do then? β
After this rebuttal, regardless of whether others could accept it, Ozaki Jiro continued.
"I think that if he can save Japan one day, only China can do it in the world, and only China is willing to sacrifice the blood of its own people for the liberation of the Japanese people......"
In Ozaki's words, his expression was a little excited, and in his opinion, the Japanese who refuted him were too "pedantic", and they didn't know what was the best option for Japan.
"And China is dozens of times larger than Japan, once the mother country of China is revived, it will be the fierce defender of East Asia again, and it will surely rise up as a king to save the people of East Asia from fire and water, and the only way out for Japan in the future is to return to the roots of East Asia, become one with the mother country of China, humbly learn from the Chinese civilization, belong to China, and share the responsibility of defending the Chinese civilization from the destruction of the West as a member of China, so as to regain the right to exist on the earth for our colored nations in the hands of the Western powers!"
