Jin Xiandong sighed deeply. Although he was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han, he wanted to jump out of the fire pit and stand on the side of the anti-Japanese team, but because he was under strict surveillance by the Japanese army and there were no like-minded forces around him, he couldn't put it into practice.

Pu Jie comforted: "Don't be too anxious! Although we can't change the general situation, we can still do something! For example, strengthen ourselves, warn the public to stop smoking and so on."

After Japan occupied the three northeastern provinces, the lives of ordinary people were very difficult. They not only restricted and exploited the Chinese people materially, but also enslaved the people spiritually.

Whether it is daily life or the education received in school, it is full of Japanese colonial ideological and cultural rule.

In addition to Chinese, the official language also includes Japanese as a compulsory subject. A court meeting is held every morning, singing the Japanese national anthem and the "Manchurian national anthem", and paying homage to the Japanese emperor and the imperial palace of the puppet Manchukuo.

Japanese language classes and Japanese language education feature prominently in the curriculum.

Japanese has 7 class hours per week, which is two more than Manchu language. Japanese teachers are in charge of Japanese classes, as well as physics, chemistry, mathematics and other classes, all explained in Japanese, and Japanese has become the teaching language.Students are told when they enroll that they will not be able to graduate if they do not reach the third-class translation level in Japanese upon graduation.

After the September [-]th Incident, Japan occupied the entire Northeast China by force. In order to meet its military and financial needs for aggression, Japan also destroyed the national consciousness of the people in Northeast China.

Japan couldn't wait to promulgate and implement the "Opium Law" on November 1932, 11, in an attempt to establish an opium monopoly system in the Northeast through this law, thereby strengthening the monopoly and management of the opium trade.

During his 14-year rule in the Northeast, he successively formulated and implemented a series of opium poisoning policies in the Northeast, which brought heavy disasters to the Chinese people, especially the people in the Northeast.

至1937年哈尔滨市私营鸦片零卖所有77处,鸦片和吗啡瘾者29736人。一个不到2万人的依兰县城,开了7家大烟馆。

《鸦片法》限制罂粟的种植,但1933—1937年间,鸦片栽种地区达伪满7省30县1旗,总面积为68.5万亩。

It can be seen that the so-called "prohibited" clauses of the Puppet Manchukuo government are actually unlimited.

On the surface, the "Opium Law" is to ban opium, but in essence it is to realize the government's monopoly on opium and lay a "rich" economic foundation for its further expansion of its aggression against China.

In 1937, after the July 1938th Incident broke out, in response to the new military, political, and economic situation in China, Japan adjusted its opium policy. eradicate opium addicts.

In fact, Japan still sells sheep's tricks and dog meat, which is completely a means to deceive people, deceive the international community, and offset the pressure of public opinion.

The "Outline of Policies for Banning Opium" not only failed to ban opium, but further deepened the poisonous effect of opium, which caused extremely great harm to the people of Northeast China.

Chapter 519

"I'm afraid it's not that easy! The Japanese treat us Chinese as pigs and raise them in captivity. They want all of us to smoke opium. This will not only destroy our bodies and consciousness, but also squeeze our hard-earned money to the greatest extent. military spending.

Take a look at how many tobacco pipes and tobacco halls we have in Manchuria now?Look at how many families have been ruined by opium?

The entire Manchukuo was turned into a miasma by the Japanese. I think if it continues like this, it won't be long before tens of millions of Manchukuo people will become a group of soulless walking corpses! "

Speaking of this, Jin Xiandong’s hatred value exploded. The final collapse of the Qing Empire was the Opium War that began in 1840. Now it has turned the entire Manchukuo into a smoky mess, full of drug addicts who are neither human nor ghost.

Opium, commonly known as opium, is extracted from the annual herb poppy.As a drug, opium is no longer known to everyone, but it was only used as medicine at first, with the effects of analgesia, cough relief, and diarrhea. Smoking opium was once regarded as a hobby.

However, after entering the 19th century, it was such an item that caused a series of chain reactions due to its large-scale influx into China, and finally triggered the war of British aggression against our country.

In June 1840, Bomer, the naval commander of the British Expeditionary Force, and Yilu, the commander-in-chief and plenipotentiary representative of the British Expeditionary Force, successively led fleets from India and South Africa to the Chinese Sea, and the Opium War officially began.

The Opium War lasted for two years. Since the Qing army lagged far behind the British army in terms of organizational structure and weapons and equipment, it ended in China's failure.

In 1842, the Qing government was forced to sign the first unequal treaty in modern Chinese history: the Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing.

After the Sino-British "Nanjing Treaty" was signed, the United States and France forced the Qing government to sign an unequal treaty with similar content on the grounds of equal interests.

These treaties seriously violated China's independence and sovereignty, and damaged China's political, cultural, and economic rights and interests.

Since then, Western powers have come one after another, vying to seize their rights and interests in China. China lost its status as an independent country and fell into a deep national crisis.

After Japan occupied the three northeastern provinces, it successively enacted the "Opium Law" and the Policy Outline for Banning Opium. On the surface, it was to ban opium, but in essence it was to realize the monopoly of opium by the government in order to grab more economic profits in the Northeast, and then achieve " The sinister purpose of "fighting with poison".

According to statistics, during the period from 1932 to 1945, the Puppet Manchukuo produced a total of about 3 million taels of opium, with an average annual production of more than 2200 million taels.

In 1932, the opium revenue was 19409637 yuan, and by 1936 it had increased to 37692641 yuan.

In 1944, the opium budget revenue amounted to 121197550 yuan, while in 1945 it was 227043200 yuan.

When an opium addict is addicted, tears, nasal discharge, yawning, and saliva are constant, his face is yellow and emaciated, his body is as limp as mud, he is lazy and unable to work.

These people can't stand a meal without smoking, sucking, or pricking.

And these people are often just in their prime and fully capable of taking up guns to join the anti-Japanese team, but in the end they become spiritual slaves of the invaders.

As Tadayuki Furumi, then director of the General Affairs Department of the Puppet Manchukuo, confessed: "The opium monopoly system has played a role in making the people physically and mentally decadent, weakening the anti-Japanese empire, and at the same time increasing fiscal revenue."

"Hey, do your best to obey the destiny!"

Pu Jie could only sigh, he didn't know how difficult and unrealistic it was, but as a mascot of the royal family with no power and power, what could he do?

Contrary to the worries of Jin Xiandong and Pujie, Emperor Puyi, Yoshiko Kawashima, and the ministers of civil and military affairs of Manchukuo were full of spirits at this time, and they were summoning foreign envoys in the newly built Tongde Hall.

After the founding of the Puppet Manchukuo, the Japanese planned Changchun, which was designated as the capital and renamed "Xinjing".

Shortly after Puyi came to power in 1932, the Japanese chose the former office of the Jihei Transport Bureau as Puyi's bedroom and office.

In order to let Puyi feel that Japan attaches great importance to Puyi and the face of the emperor, the Japanese Yoshioka Yasao proposed to build a palace for Puyi. This palace is now the Hall of Tongde, and Puyi also agreed at that time.

Because Puyi suspected that the Japanese first proposed the construction of Tongde Hall to install bugs in the new hall, although Puyi also agreed to build the new hall of the pseudo-imperial palace, he did not go to live in it after it was completed.

Tongde Hall began to be designed in 1935, started construction in early 1937, and was completed at the end of 1938. The name of "Dian of Tongde" is taken from the meaning of "one heart and one heart", "full day and one heart".

The shape of the entire Tongde Hall is a combination of China and Japan, and the words "One Heart" and "One Virtue" are burnt on each piece of tile paper.

Now convinced of Ishihara Waner's conspiracy, Puyi is full of ambitions and wants to revive the Qing Empire. After some bargaining, he decides to move the palace and office to Tongde Hall.

Although the puppet "Manchukuo" has not been generally recognized by the international community, there are as many as 23 countries or regimes that recognize the puppet "Manchukuo" now!

23 may seem like a small number, but it is actually not a lot, because there are currently about 60 countries or regimes in the world.

These countries include: Japan, Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, Vichy France, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Vatican, Slovakia, Independent State of Croatia, Spain, Finland, Denmark, Thailand, Burma, Philippines, Mongolian People's Republic, Puppet " Mongolian Autonomous State", the Wang Jingwei Nanjing Puppet Government of the Republic of China, the pseudo-"Interim Government of Free India", El Salvador, Poland, etc.

But it should be noted that like the Soviet Union, for the self-interest of its own country, it left room for the puppet Manchukuo to expand its "diplomatic" space through the method of tacit recognition.

Until Japan provoked the full-scale Pacific War, apart from Japan, only a very small number of countries such as Chile, El Salvador, and the Holy See officially recognized the puppet Manchukuo.

"Everyone loves you! All envoys are exempt!"

Puyi was dressed in a dragon robe with a dignified appearance, and he was holding it on the dragon chair. After everyone finished worshiping, he waved his hand lightly and said, "Today I summon you in the Hall of Tongde, one is to celebrate the completion of the Hall of Tongde, two I want to take this opportunity to announce several important personnel appointments and dismissals to everyone."

Looking at the civil and military ministers and diplomatic envoys gathered under the throne, and listening to the compliments and blessings one after another, such as "Long live my emperor", "Your majesty is wise", "All blessings for the emperor", Pu Yi only felt that he had reached the pinnacle of life.

These days, Puyi has indeed had a much better life than the useless puppet before. He has gained a lot of military and political power, controlled part of the power to appoint and remove personnel and a considerable part of the Manchurian army.

Chapter 520

Putting a long line to catch big fish, in order to deepen the control of Puyi, Ishihara Waner even promised Puyi: as long as he is loyal to the Great Japanese Empire and performs well, not only will the military and political power of Manchukuo be handed over to him, but the entire North China and the The North China Security Army was also placed under his command.

The North China Security Army, also known as the North China Appeasement Army, commonly known as the "Imperial Association Army" and "Puppet Army", was a Chinese armed force supported by the Japanese North China Front Army during the War of Resistance Against Japan.

For this reason, Puyi was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights, and in his dreams, he was looking forward to the day when he would command thousands of troops, and the imperial conquest would restore the territory of the Qing Dynasty!

It's just that one leaf can't see Mount Tai, and Puyi doesn't know the development trend of history and the trend of the times, and he only thinks about the success of the restoration.

The Chinese battlefield during World War II was the main battlefield in East Asia. The Japanese invaders invested millions of troops and sophisticated weapons and equipment here, causing serious disasters and persecution to the Chinese people for 14 years.

During this period, Japan cultivated and developed a puppet army of up to 200 million in order to maintain its rule and enslavement of the Chinese occupied areas.

In fact, the puppet army was developed during the Japanese occupation of Chinese territory, an army composed of the Chinese themselves, and they were directly under the highest jurisdiction of the Japanese army.

Nominally, it was to help the Japanese manage all government affairs and various social affairs in the occupied areas, but in fact it was a puppet government supported by the Japanese army. "Traitor", "running dog".

However, there are different formal names for these people in various places, just like many film and television dramas also call traitors "Japanese and Puppet Army" or "Imperial Association Army".

So, are their identities the same?

Why are there so many different titles?

Strictly speaking, the term "Japanese puppet army" includes two parts: the Japanese army and the puppet army, of which only the latter is composed of Chinese people, and the scope it covers is quite wide.

From the puppet Manchurian government army in the northeast, to the puppet army in Mongolia, to the surrendered regular army or local armed organizations in North China, Jiangnan and other places, and even various small groups such as hooligans and hooligans recruited by the Japanese to assist their aggression. All people can be called puppet soldiers.

It was born earlier and existed for a longer period of time. From the initial capture of Northeast China by the Japanese to the end of World War II, all traitors during this period can be classified into this sequence.

In contrast, the scope referred to by the Imperial Association Army is much smaller. This force originally referred to the North China Security Army.

After North China was captured by Japan, but Japan’s ambition was to continue to invade southwards. When the battlefield was too long and the troops were insufficient, the Japanese army thought of a way to manage the security of the occupied areas by recruiting pro-Japanese elements instead. In this way, North China The Imperial Association Army of the region was born.

As the Japanese later supported the Wang Jingwei puppet Nanjing government in Nanjing, this imperial association army was placed under the control of the Wang puppet government.

In this way, we can clearly distinguish the difference between the puppet army and the imperial association army. Simply put, the imperial association army is a part of the puppet army. In addition, the guards and security forces in various places also belong to the puppet army.

It was precisely because of the existence of this unscrupulous army that the Chinese people fell into greater crisis and suffering during the Anti-Japanese War. The people hated them as much as they regarded the invaders.

Nanshan Village, Guangyuan, Sichuan.

Guangyuan is a transition zone from mountains to basins, with complex terrain dominated by mountains and hills. Nanshan Village is located on a flat land at the foot of Danan Mountain. There are hundreds of households scattered here and there. It is a large village within a hundred miles.

At this time, on a barren and dry hillside, a middle-aged couple was brandishing a hoe to dig the soil and plant corn. Not far away, a young son and daughter carried a bucket of water from the bottom of the hillside and walked up with great difficulty, preparing to water Cornfields have been planted.

"Oh! If it doesn't rain, we'll be starving for half a year! How can we survive this hard life!"

The middle-aged man Feng Guiliang sighed softly while digging hard on the dry and hard soil, full of sorrow and worry.

As tenant farmers, the Feng family was already very poor. They lived a poor life without enough food and clothing throughout the year. If the weather was good, they could barely go hungry. If there was a slight natural disaster, the family would have to endure hunger for several months.

Most of the land rented and planted by the Feng family is barren hillside land, and water conservancy is extremely inconvenient. Every bucket of water has to travel a long way. Just watering is a hard work that can kill people!

However, the fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the inland Nanshan Village was also affected. In addition to the rent that had to be paid to the landlord’s family, an extra "national salvation ration" had to be paid.

The Feng family has always been in a poverty-stricken state of hunger and cold. Not only has there been no surplus food, but they often eat their own food and live on debts. Over the years, they owe a large amount of usury to the landlord's family.

If the current calculation is followed, the Feng family will never be able to turn over for the rest of their lives. The family's life has long been in the hands of the landlord and the owner.

"Ah, not good? The boss is here, and he must be here again to press for the rent and save the country!"

As the saying goes, what you are afraid of will come, and when Feng Guiliang was worried, he suddenly saw the landlord Wu Yifu walking over from the mountain path with two servants.

"Ah, the boy's father! What should I do? It looks like they're going to be tough today!"

Zhou Shuiyan turned her head to look, and saw that the Dong's family had a vicious look, and the two servants beside him were Wu's thugs and watchdogs, and they were even well-known villains in the village, and she shuddered suddenly.

"Boss, what wind brought your old man here!"

Although Feng Guiliang was very scared, "it's a blessing, not a disaster, and a disaster can't be avoided", at this time he could only bite the bullet and walked quickly to make a smile.

"Feng Lianggui, don't make fun of me!"

Wu Yifu's face was full of flesh, and he snorted coldly when he came to the front and back: "Last time you begged grandpa to tell grandma to let me give you a few more days, and I thought you were honest and kind, so I waited for another five full days!

I've done my best, now you should have no excuses, right?Hurry up and hand over the land rent owed and the public food for saving the country!

Don't be shameless, you have to pay money and food no matter what today, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless! "

Hearing this, Feng Guiliang immediately knew that something bad was going to happen today, so he quickly bent down and begged: "Master, it's not like you don't know that the rain was not good last year and this year. No harvest!

Our family can't even eat enough to eat. How can we have the money to pay the land rent?I beg you, do me a favor, and give me a few more days, shall I? "

Chapter 521 Forced to make a final roar

"Ha ha!"

Wu Yifu stared at Feng Guiliang and his wife who were bowing and bowing with mocking eyes, and said in a very cold tone: "

Either pay money and food today, or use your Xiu'er to pay off the debt!There is absolutely no second way to choose! "

"Ah, Master! Please, my Xiu'er is only 12 years old, and she is just a child! Master, I kneel down for you! Please!"

Feng Guiliang's heart suddenly jumped, the most feared thing finally happened, this Wu Yifu did not know how many good girls he had harmed through this method.

What frightens Feng Guiliang the most is that the girl who was spoiled by Wu Yifu will either die tragically in a short time, or be sold to a brothel and become a prostitute!

Anyway, in a word, all the girls who have been robbed by Wu Yifu by various means have not had a good end so far!

As he was talking, Feng Guiliang knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Yifu with a plop, his head banging loudly on the solid soil.

"Boss! I beg you, please forgive me for a few more days! Our family can't afford to repay the debt even if we sell everything!"

Zhou Shuiyan quickly followed and kowtowed to Wu Yifu.

"Twelve years old is not too young! When I passed by just now, I saw that your Xiu'er's body has grown, and the place that should be big is not small at all! Her age is just right for me!"

Wu Yifu showed an extremely wretched smile, showing no mercy at all, and said with a sneer, "It's only natural to pay back debts, and it's everyone's responsibility to resist the war and defend the country. Don't talk to me about useless nonsense!"

After a pause, Wu Yifu pretended to be kind and said: "With the conditions of your family, neither of you can support yourself, so it's better not to let Xiu'er suffer!

As long as she marries me as a concubine, I promise to make her popular and hot, and I can also forgive half of your debts and help you pay the national salvation rations.Such a condition is already generous enough, but don't be greedy and insatiable! "

What this guy said was righteous and grandiose, but in fact, he was using chicken feathers as arrows, playing empty-handed white wolves, and did not give the Feng family any chance of survival.

Wu Yifu is not only the owner of the Feng family, but also the head of the village office responsible for collecting public grain for national salvation.

In addition, Wu Yifu's son was the head of the security team in the county, and the Wu family also raised a group of vicious thugs to protect the courtyard. It can be said that someone has a gun and has power.
