As we all know, Aisin Gioro. Puyi is the last emperor in my country's history. His life is full of legends and endless sadness.
Emperors of all dynasties are arrogant, but Puyi was a puppet of others in the first half of his life, and even the guards around him did not take him seriously. Qi Jizhong is one of them.
Many people may not be familiar with him, but this person has another identity, that is, Emperor Puyi's personal bodyguard and Empress Wanrong's lover. Today, let’s talk about Qi Jizhong’s life story.
The last emperor Puyi
On February 12, 1912, the last ruler of the Qing government Aisin Gioro Puyi announced his abdication, and the monarchy feudal system of more than 2,000 years has completely become history.
Although Emperor Puyi abdicated, he could still live in Forbidden City after abdication. The government of the Republic of China also needed to pay the Qing court about 4 million taels of silver a year to supply the daily life of the "emperor". Although
4 million taels of silver is too much, it is difficult to maintain the emperor's high-level life. For this reason, the regent ministers around Emperor Puyi had to cut down some service people (palace maids and guards) and only some elite talents were left by their side. Qi Jizhong was one of the guards who stayed there.
1924, although Puyi was no longer the emperor, he was still the noble master in the Forbidden City, and the people around him still took care of him in every detail.
However, in 1924, the direct warlord Feng Yuxiang launched a coup in Beijing and came to the Forbidden City with real guns and ammunition. Then Feng Yuxiang immediately sent his subordinate Lu Zhonglin to expel Puyi from the Forbidden City.
An unfortunate incident happened to the young Puyi. Fortunately, he escaped from the Forbidden City to Tianjin at that time, and the person who protected him from the Forbidden City was Qi Jizhong.
After Puyi traveled to many places in the following time, Qi Jizhong has been loyally guarding Puyi during this period of displaced time. This is why Puyi believed him so much in the later period.
As the saying goes, the tiger falls into the sun. Puyi, who arrived in Tianjin, is no longer the noble master. First, the concubine Wenxiu A document sued him in court to divorce him. This is the famous sword concubine revolution in history.
Although Queen Wanrong is still Puyi's wife, the relationship between the two is in harmony and is just a marriage of marriage but not a real husband and wife. It is only a matter of time before the breakup is complete.
In Qi Jizhong's eyes, Puyi is still the emperor. No matter how the royal affairs develop, it seems that he cannot shake his loyalty to Puyi. However, all these confusions have been answered in the Northeast, and he even became the one who betrayed the emperor.
1931, the puppet Manchukuo was established under the protection of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Puyi, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was easy to control at a young age, so he naturally became a favored object by the Japanese.
They brought Puyi from Tianjin to the Northeast, and on the surface they supported Puyi to continue to proclaim himself emperor, but in fact they wanted to use Puyi to control , the three northeastern provinces, . Puyi did not understand these political issues, and went directly to the Northeast without listening to his family's advice. When Qi Jizhong and Empress Wanrong
When they first arrived in the Northeast, Puyi wanted to use the power of the Japanese to restore the rule of the Qing court. Even though his father's Zaifeng and his younger brother Pujie repeatedly persuaded him, Puyi, who was obsessed with the ghost, came to the Northeast alone.
The result can be imagined. The once noble "emperor" completely became a puppet of the Japanese army. No matter what it is, it must be approved by the Japanese Kwantung Army to proceed. Puyi's original authority was completely shattered into the dust here.
Qi Jizhong finally understood at this time that all the beautiful fantasies about the Qing court were shattered. The emperor once had become a "prisoner" of the Japanese army at this time, and the only real master here is the Japanese.
From then on, in Qi Jizhong's heart, Puyi becomes no longer unattainable, and he can also get involved in everything that Puyi can have and enjoy.After coming to the Northeast, Puyi was immersed in the so-called government affairs all day long, and the conflict with Queen Wanrong became increasingly uncontrollable.
At the same time, Puyi's body had already collapsed due to his excessive indulgence in his childhood, so that during his years of marriage with Wanrong, although the two had the name of a husband and wife, they did not have the reality of a husband and wife.
Wanrong is no longer the girl who didn't know anything at the time. Her strong sense of physical and mental emptiness made her addicted to drugs.
Maybe it was for stimulation or maybe it was mentally insanity. Wanrong sucked opium in the room all day, and sometimes even walked around the room without covering her clothes.
Puyi did not have the ability to ceremonies from Duke Zhou, but it does not mean that there are no other men in the room. At the beginning, out of fear and respect for the identity of Emperor Puyi, Qi Jizhong did not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts.
But as Puyi's status in his heart continued to decline, and he was often away from his residence, Qi Jizhong took the courage to come to Wanrong's boudoir while she was sleeping soundly.
One is the emptiness of Queen Wanrong, and the other is a man with strong spirit. Unsurprisingly, Qi Jizhong and Wanrong were entangled.
At first, the two of them knew to avoid the suspicion. Even if they longed in their hearts, they would wait for Puyi to go out and meet him privately when there was no one at home. But as time went by, everything became more and more blatant.
中文 There is no airtight wall . Soon the affair between Qi Jizhong and Wanrong became a well-known "secret" in the puppet Manchukuo.
Except for Puyi, everyone else knew about this. Due to the emperor's face, the Japanese strictly ordered no one to leak the matter to Puyi. However, Puyi finally discovered this.
How is a secret hidden by everyone? It turned out that because of his indulgence, Wanrong actually became pregnant with Qi Jizhong's child. As her belly grew bigger and bigger, the whole thing naturally could not be hidden from Puyi.
At that time, Qi Jizhong also went to a Japanese military school to study because of Emperor Puyi's benefits. As a result, during this period, Empress Wanrong's pregnancy broke out.
It is reported that during this period, Wanrong also had an affair with a man named Li Tiyu. No matter whose child belongs, Emperor Puyi was very angry about this matter.
Qi Jizhong's ending
The ancients said, "The emperor's wrath is a million corpses and bleeding thousands of miles", but Puyi is no longer the emperor. Even though he is furious, he has to follow the Japanese's instructions. Qi Jizhong was eventually sent out of the Northeast safely.
Before leaving, he received a reward of 400 ocean , and was also asked to have everything that happened in the Northeast, and no one was allowed to be revealed to the public. Just like this, a guard who turned the emperor green, he left in a noble manner, and so was Li Tiyu.
Although he was not deliberate in his mind, he could not deny Qi Jizhong's courage and courage. After leaving Puyi, he chose to join the Japanese army and became a prominent role in the Japanese and puppet army.
I went to Japan to study in my early years. In addition, he performed well on the battlefield after joining the Japanese army. Soon Qi Jizhong was praised by the Japanese army. It is said that he had won the position of major general officer of the government.
Later, he could be said to be doing everything he could to help the evil and the wreckage compatriots. Perhaps in Qi Jizhong's eyes, everything he did was to find a good future for himself, just like he was determined to be the guard of the "emperor".
At the beginning, he did not expect the emperor to become a puppet, and later he did not expect that the invincible Japanese army would have a day of failure to surrender. On August 15, 1945, the once invincible Japanese army announced its surrender, and the vigorous anti-Japanese war ended with the victory of the Chinese nation.
When Qi Jizhong learned of this news, he had to choose to change his name in order to survive. However, people always have to eat when they are alive. Qi Jizhong relied on the wealth he had accumulated before to start a timber business in Northeast China.
I have to say that Qi Jizhong is really a person with outstanding abilities. Even in such an unfavorable social environment, he became the most famous wood merchant in Northeast China step by step with his original wealth.
As the domestic situation changes, Qi Jizhong naively thought that everything was over, and his past sins were completely buried in the dust of history by time. He then swaggered and began to squander his life with the money he earned from doing the wood business.
It is said that when he was the richest, Qi Jizhong once bought two luxury houses in Beijing, and even silly forgot his identity as a wanted criminal. In September 1949, the four-year war of liberation ended. Qi Jizhong, who noticed the change in the situation, could not stay at home with peace of mind.
Before, due to the turbulent domestic situation, the local government had no time to take care of the search for Japanese war criminals, but now the domestic situation is stable. If your past is exposed, then the ruthless trial will inevitably be welcomed.
Everything was ready, Qi Jizhong began to plan the escape, but what he never expected was that just before he set out, his neighbor noticed his sneaky behavior and then reported it.
Not long after, Qi Jizhong was arrested and brought to justice. Once the investigation was investigated, everything was revealed. Later, after being tried by the military court, Qi Jizhong was sentenced to death and executed immediately.
1949 In this year, a group of Japanese and puppet troops in Shanghai who had followed the Japanese army to cause trouble were executed according to law. It was originally a very sparse and ordinary thing, but one of the execution team shouted:
"Execute me, I have lived a very worthwhile life. No one has lived comfortably in the past few decades..." It is not difficult to imagine that this can be said by a dying person, because he also knows that he is the ending of death.
It is not difficult to look back at Qi Jizhong's life that he is still very talented. Whether he is a guard or a Japanese and puppet army, even the later timber merchants, he showed strong abilities.
If he can keep his original intention in troubled times, perhaps he will not end up in a different place, but he chose the wrong way. What do you think of this person?
