In 1949, the Military Court of the Republic of China Government announced a result, and the announcement of this result made countless Chinese people grit their teeth. Even outside the military court that day, there was a serious turmoil, preparing to attack the military court. The reason why everyone is so angry is that is because of the court's verdict: "Gangmura Yanji was acquitted in court." As soon as this news came out, it instantly shocked China and foreign countries. Because in everyone's consciousness, Gangmura Yanji was undoubtedly sentenced to death by .
But the result was beyond everyone's expectations. Since Kazumura Yanji hired a lawyer, successfully cleared the charge under the defense of the lawyer and was acquitted.
And this lawyer is Jiang Yiping, the famous , in Shanghai back then. But doesn’t Jiang Yiping know the crimes that Gangmura Nagato committed in China? Why did he serve as a defense lawyer for this unforgivable Japanese?

It's so bad, it's hard to write bad things
For the name Gangmura Yasuji, even today, most Chinese people are very familiar with this name. As long as you mention Gangmura Yasuji, knows that he was a first-class war criminal who committed many crimes in the Anti-Japanese War .
1915, at that time, Gangmura Yanji was just an unknown literary and historical worker. He first came to China in 1915 and settled in Qingdao .
At that time, he was only responsible for collecting and organizing combat documents during the Japanese-German War. After staying in China for 4 years, the Japanese side sent him back and lived in Japan since then.
1923, Gangcun Yanji once again set foot on our territory. At this time, he was no longer a simple worker, but a Japanese spy who secretly spies in our country.

During our country's espionage, he became familiar with our country's geographical resources and customs, which also indicates that he made great plans for him to lead his troops to invade our country in the future.
In August 1927, Gangmura Yanji finally received the appointment of the Japanese army , and he was officially appointed as a colonel and commanded a corps.
And Gangmura Yanci waited for this day. He worked hard in China for so long in the early stage, hoping that one day he could lead his troops and prepare to invade China.
It is from this day that in every war of aggression launched by the Japanese army, all sizes, against our country, it can be said that there is a shadow of Kazumura Yanji behind it.
In January 1932, he sent troops to launch the "January 28 Incident" that shocked the Chinese people and sent troops to Shanghai to launch a war.

In August 1932, he encircled and suppressed my country's anti-Japanese military and civilian heroes in the Northeast region, and since then he has continuously sent troops to encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese forces in the Northeast region. For this reason, many anti-Japanese heroes sacrificed their lives in the Northeast region.
However, because of his "excellent" performance, Kazumura Yanji was promoted to general in 1941, and then took over the Japanese troops in the entire North China region.
Just now in Okamura Yasuji just became a general. In order to make a fuss, he led his troops to continuously launch wars against our Chinese army, such as "large sweeping, large encirclement and suppression".
was like this, until 1944, Okamura Yasuji was promoted to again, and this time he was directly appointed by the Emperor as the commander-in-chief of Chinese Expeditionary Force .

And the reason why he was able to continue to be promoted is nothing more than the "credit" of invasion of our country. Naturally, it is conceivable how many bad things he did in the war of aggression against China.
However, Okamura Yasuji also shamelessly claimed that it was to establish the "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle". is said to say all good things and do bad things.
. After the Japanese army was defeated, the people of our country were in a high mood, requiring the government to punish a group of evil Japanese officers, and Kazumura Yanji was the first to bear the brunt.
Gangmura Yanji is a first-class war criminal. He can be defined as this level. You can imagine how many bad things he has done.
But no one expected that National Government actually released Gangcun Ningji because there was a lawyer who defended him, Jiang Yiping, standing next to Gangcun Ningji.

The famous genius lawyer
Speaking of Jiang Yiping, it can be said that looking at the entire Shanghai at that time, there was nothing in the lawyer world who didn’t know him. Jiang Yiping, when he was young, entered Soochow University with his diligence and hard work, and then further his studies.
In 1925, was arrested by the government for the outbreak of May 3. At this time, Jiang Yiping took the initiative to defend the students and successfully helped the students regain their freedom.
After officially graduating from school, Jiang Yiping worked harder and successfully obtained a degree in law , which was from that time on his legal career.
Because of his hard work, and possess extremely high professional abilities, he soon became a little famous in the lawyer industry.
Many people in the upper class are always willing to spend a lot of money to hire Jiang Yiping as their defense lawyer when encountering some difficult cases.

Just like that, Jiang Yiping relied on his talent and ability to gain a foothold in Shanghai and became one of the best.
But the good times didn't last long. After all, Jiang Yiping was too young and could not grasp his desires well. He just wanted to make money quickly, but he didn't want to calm down and continue to enhance his abilities and study his major.
Jiang Yiping's father was originally a lawyer. He often taught Jiang Yiping to "serve the country and the people, and uphold justice"
But obviously, Jiang Yiping did not listen to his father's words, but chose a shortcut. He married the daughter of the famous Shanghai capitalist Yu Qiaqing . At that time, Yu Qiaqing's daughter was ten years older than Jiang Yiping.
Not long after, Jiang Yiping successfully became Yu Qiqing's son-in-law. With the support of his father-in-law, Jiang Yiping's career path has also become much wider.

Through the relationship between his father-in-law, Jiang Yiping also secretly obtained a doctorate degree from Fudan University , and even worked as a professor at his alma mater Soochow University.
went out and drove a car, enjoyed the special treatment of the country. It was at this time that Jiang Yiping slowly lost his original intention, and became even more indulgent and lost in luxury.
Although Shanghai people often talk about him , he just became a son-in-law, so he was so lucky. , for Jiang Yiping, he didn't care at all. All he cared about was whether he could live comfortably.
is indeed the case. People are talking about it. After all, it is the way they choose. But no one expected that Jiang Yiping would agree to be the defense lawyer of Gangmura Yanji, , which also made Jiang Yiping the focus of people's condemnation.

Assisting evildoers and turning black and white
When the military court tried Gangmura Yanji, according to regulations, Gangmura Yanji could choose a defense lawyer for himself, and he did choose a lawyer, and this lawyer was the famous Jiang Yiping.
At the beginning, when everyone learned that Jiang Yiping was his defense lawyer, they were very surprised, but they still chose to believe that Jiang Yiping would stop immediately after getting his own rewards.
It is true that everyone is more willing to believe that Jiang Yiping just played this role. As for whether he wants to really defend Kazumura Yanji, no one will believe that he will really defend this.
However, the direction of the development of things is the opposite. Jiang Yiping is not simply following a process. He is really helping Kaangmura Yanji and trying his best to make him an innocent person.

And in order to help Gangcun Yanji, he negotiated with Gangcun Yanji many times before the trial, constantly doing his homework, and collecting evidence that Gangcun Yanji's "innocence".
In the end, Jiang Yiping was also at the trial. expressed a view that angered everyone present: "When Gangmura Yanji was in North China, he did a lot of good things.
has provided farmers with cotton planted for many times, cracked down on unscrupulous businesses, promoted the business development of North China, and realized a small-scale Greater East Asia co-prosperity circle."
And when these words were said, everyone was stunned, and many young people even wanted to beat Jiang Yiping directly.
You should know that during the war of aggression against China, the famous "Three Lights" policy was proposed by him, the so-called killing, burning, and snatching.

During the major sweep, he harmed more than 50,000 ordinary people in our country. He still coldly ordered the unarmed people to shoot.
As a Chinese, Jiang Yiping defended the intruder. , especially as a lawyer, has abandoned the basic moral bottom line of a lawyer and turned black and white.
Jiang Yiping's defense for Gangcun Yanji soon spread all over the country. Chinese people abused him, and he became a rat crossing the street.
According to later people, in fact, at that time, the defense word made by Jiang Yiping had too many loopholes, but the Kuomintang government did not conduct in-depth investigations at that time. quickly declared that Gangmura Yanji was acquitted with Jiang Yiping's testimony.

The hypocritical government colluded to hijack
Jiang Yiping's defense was actually just open. He was able to help Kazumura Yanji finish the defense smoothly. The real mastermind behind it was actually the hypocritical Kuomintang government.
Perhaps Jiang Yiping did not take the initiative to defend Gangmura Yanji, but the Kuomintang government came to him, and because his name was big enough, people were willing to believe him.
But this time, the Kuomintang made a mistake in its plan. They underestimated the people's hatred for the Japanese army. After Jiang Yiping made a defense, the Kuomintang quickly declared acquittal and helped Kamura Yanji escape from China.
And when the War of Resistance Against Japan ended, our country soon launched the Liberation War, and The Kuomintang wanted to use Kamura Yanji, hoping that he could help the Kuomintang win the National Liberation War.

In Yanji, Jaegangmura, in "Memoirs", he said, "Since the surrender, I am extremely grateful for the humanitarian care given to me by the Chinese government." And here just shows the foreshadowing laid by the Kuomintang to help him escape legal sanctions.
The reason why the Kuomintang wanted to use Gangcun Ningji was because Gangcun Ningji was a genius in the war of aggression against China, and Chiang Kai-shek also valued this point. used Gangcun Ningji's experience in suppressing the Communist Party to deal with the heroic People's Liberation Army.
In 1945, Chiang Kai-shek personally met with Gangmeng Yanji and gave him a precious gift, representing the foundation of friendship between the two in cooperation to suppress the Communist Party. Gangmeng Yanji later recalled: "You are good to me and respect me, so I am more willing to treat you."

And in 1946, Gangcun Yanji transformed from a first-class war criminal to a senior consultant of Chiang Kai-shek. The "Guidelines for the Suppression of the Communist Party" he wrote was widely circulated within the famous party and was published in large quantities.
In August of the same year, Far East Military Court asked the Kuomintang to transfer Gangmura Yanji to Tokyo for trial. At this time, the people's calls for severe punishment of Gangmura Yanji were getting louder and louder.
By 1938, the Kuomintang could no longer suppress the public opinion and public grievances of the people, and had to announce the trial of the gang Nanji.
is this hypocritical trial, and the Kuomintang began to find a defense lawyer for Gangcun Ningji. is like this. The genius lawyer Jiang Yiping appeared at the trial.

Forgot or betrayal of history, he will be despised by the people
Maybe Jiang Yiping has other hidden secrets, maybe he was threatened and forced by the Kuomintang, or to protect his family, but we cannot know all of these.
But no matter what, he chose to stand behind Kazumura Yanji to defend him, which is something that all Chinese people cannot accept.
When Jiang Yiping finished the "innocence" defense for Gangmura Yanji , has been called a "traitor" by the Chinese people. In this way, he could not continue to gain a foothold in the mainland.
When the Kuomintang was not defeated and left Taiwan, Jiang Yiping's situation was still OK because he had been living in the jurisdiction protected by the Kuomintang.

Although many people hate Jiang Yiping very much, because the Kuomintang protected him well , Jiang Yiping's life was not greatly affected.
At this time, Jiang Yiping was still rich in quality of life, but he lost a lot of more precious things.
At that time, before Jiang Yiping defended Gangmeng Yanji, he often conducted an investigation into the places where Gangmeng Yanji had been active. The purpose of his doing this was to find some evidence to prove Gangmeng Yanji's innocence.
But his behavior was discovered by his father, who was also an excellent lawyer in his early years.
When he learned that his son decided to defend Gangmeng Yanji, he scolded angrily: " When did the Jiang family have such a shameless descendant? How do you let me face the ancestors of the Jiang family?
Your behavior will definitely be like those of Qin Hui , Wei Zhongxian , etc., and are despised by the world. ."
Picture丨Kuomintang
Faced with his father's scolding, Jiang Yiping was unmoved and determined to defend Gangmeng Yanji. After his father learned about it, he directly announced that he had cut off the father-son relationship with Jiang Yiping, and since then he was not as unfilial as him.
Jiang Yiping’s former friends no longer want to have any relationship with Jiang Yiping after learning about Jiang Yiping’s behavior. It can be said that Jiang Yiping has been rejected and isolated by the world, and all this is his own fault.
During that time, Jiang Yiping would be rolled or insulted by everyone as soon as he went out. , but he was indifferent to everything. Perhaps he had already thought about his fate before he defended Gangmura Yanji.
Later, the Kuomintang was defeated and went to Taiwan, and Jiang Yiping also chose to follow and leave, because he knew that after the Kuomintang left the mainland, no one could protect him anymore.
But it is worth mentioning that when he decided to follow the Kuomintang to Taiwan , his wife resolutely stood up and announced her divorce.
Picture | Kuomintang
In that era, there were almost very few cases when women dared to take the initiative to stand up and announce the termination of marriage, because divorced women were advised in society.
But his wife was brave enough to stand up and announced the matter in a high-profile manner, which made everyone admire this woman.
It was also because of this incident that Jiang Yiping followed the Kuomintang alone and left the mainland alone. After arriving in Taiwan, he lived alone until his old age, and no one was with Jiang Yiping.
After leaving Jiang Yiping in the mainland, people have long forgotten about him, a traitor. However, unexpectedly, in 1961, Gangcun Ningji went to Taipei. The first thing he did when he arrived in Taipei was to go to Jiang Yiping's home to visit and comfort Jiang Yiping.
Because in the view of Gangmeng Yanji, was Jiang Yiping who defended him and saved his life. He came to visit Jiang Yiping with gratitude.
Picture | After the incident of the Kuomintang
came out, people who had already forgotten him were filled with righteous indignation when they thought of what he did in the past. The anger in the hearts of the people was once again unsuppressed, so all kinds of insults and condemnations pointed at him.
After this, Jiang Yiping lived in abuse and accusations, and until his old age, no one was willing to take care of him.
According to the interview with Jiang Yiping at that time, Jiang Yiping said that he was not happy in the years in Taiwan. was the pressure of public opinion from the outside world, and the other was his inner torment. made him suffer a lot.
Picture丨Jiang Yiping
He said that it was not all his intention back then, but the Kuomintang chose to use his family's lives to coerce and induce people. For the safety of his family, he had to attend the trial.
Perhaps Jiang Yiping was really worried about the safety of his family and had to obey the Kuomintang. Perhaps the Kuomintang promised him too much at that time that he could not refuse a standard , but today there is no way to know. Although Kazumura Yanji escaped the legal sanctions, he returned to Japan and ended up with a lonely ending.
Perhaps he did too much evil, fate punished him, his sons died suddenly one after another, , and he was silent in his later years in losing his son and loneliness, and eventually passed away.

Conclusion
For the Kuomintang, Jiang Yiping is actually just a chess piece that can be used , and when Kagmura Nishi returned to Japan smoothly, his chess piece lost all its value.
Since Jiang Yiping came to Taiwan, he has been living a miserable and poor life.
Because no one was willing to take care of him later, he had no children. In his later years, he had no one to take care of him and passed away in loneliness. In 1971, Jiang Yiping died of illness, and everyone applauded.
As a Chinese, we should always remember that should not do anything that goes against the country or the national justice, no matter at any time or place.
should put the interests of the country above everything else. Where can the country come from? Only when the country is strong can you have your own happy family , otherwise all the consequences will be caused by one's own fault.
