Wang Ching-wei

Wang Ching-wei and his Nanking National Government played an active role in cooperating with Japan's aggressive activities in China. Militarily, he turned back a large number of the National Army (nearly one million), especially the Miscellaneous Army, organized the "False Army", and carried out many purges of the townships, which made the people's lives even more difficult. (In Mr. Lin Siyun's view, "the people in the Japanese-occupied areas had a peaceful year without Japanese aggression and harassment.") While the people in the Japanese-occupied areas were "secure", the people in other areas were not secure due to Wang Jingwei's material support for Japan). Wang Jingwei, who was also the head of the Qingxiang Committee, cracked down on the underground anti-Japanese forces (mainly the Zhong*** guerrillas) in the area under his rule, which allowed the Japanese army to spare time for other campaigns. Economically, the Nanking government assisted the Japanese in raiding the fallen areas. For example, in Shanghai in January 1943, it forced the implementation of a full registration of stored goods and the compulsory purchase of cotton yarn and cotton cloth for the needs of the Japanese army. In terms of ideological education, Wang promoted the idea of peace with Japan in schools, glorified the Japanese invasion, and launched the "New National Movement" to ideologically weaken the anti-Japanese sentiment of the people. In addition, Wang Jingwei recognized the puppet governments of the Japanese such as the Manchukuo and the German King's United Autonomous Government of Mongolia and Xinjiang, which were regarded by the majority of Chinese as the unforgivable and serious crime of selling out China's territory, and was now regarded as the crime of splitting the country. Wang Jingwei lobbied the Japanese government many times, but Wang's government was never given much autonomy. Wang's government also had no power to influence the Japanese military operations in China, and the Wang regime never built up a fighting army from the beginning. The Wang regime did gain some power in its later dealings with Japan, but the main reason was that the Japanese power was getting weaker, not that the Wang regime was getting stronger. As a result, the political structure advocated by Wang Jingwei had no appeal, and also made the "peaceful nation-building" for which it was intended fall flat, and finally he died in the midst of Japanese indifference, once a beautiful young man who was said to have become unrecognizable before his death. Moreover, Wang Jingwei's status was so high that his defection to Japan dealt an incalculable blow to China's anti-Japanese war and a huge spiritual blow to the people's anti-Japanese war.

Zhao Gao

The idiom of "calling a stag a horse" comes naturally to mind when one thinks of Zhao Gao. Starting out as a petty eunuch, Zhao Gao relied on the favor of Qin's second emperor, Hu Hai, to turn the Qin dynasty upside down in its final years of rule, pushing its tyrannical and harsh rule to its peak and thus hastening its demise. Therefore, Lu Jia sighed: "Qin Ren criminal law remains unchanged, the death of Zhao (refers to the fall of the Qin Dynasty)" and the "Strategies of the Warring States" editor Liu Xiang is more blunt: "Qin letter with the same name (i.e., the clan, here refers to Zhao Gao) to the king, to its decline, not easy to the same name, but also, and the death of the country. Therefore, the king's rule of the world lies in the implementation of the law, does not lie in the letter of the same name." Zhao Gao was a descendant of a certain king of Qin. His father was a distant family member of the king of Qin, who was tortured for a crime, and his mother was implicated in the crime and became a slave girl, making Zhao Gao's brothers and sisters lowly. When Emperor Qin Shi Huang heard that Zhao Gao was a strong man and well versed in law, he promoted him to the post of the Minister of the Central Carriage in charge of the emperor's carriage and asked him to teach his youngest son Hu Hai how to judge cases and pass judgment on prisons. Because Zhao Gao was good at observing words and colors and flattering people, he soon won the appreciation and trust of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and his son Hu Hai. On one occasion, when Zhao Gao committed a serious crime, Meng Yi did not dare to follow the law and sentenced him to death, but Qin Shi Huang pardoned him and reinstated him to his original post. It is not difficult to see Qin Shi Huang's favoritism towards Zhao Gao, but he never thought that this favored minister, who was "sensitive to matters" in his own eyes, would become the culprit that would send the Qin Empire to its end in the future.

Qin Hui

After the capture of Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, the female nobles wanted to set up Zhang Bunchang as a puppet, and Qin Hui, who was then the chief of the imperial court, didn't say a word. The royal historian Ma Shen and others wrote a letter against the establishment of Zhang Bangchang, asking Qin Hui to sign it as well. Qin Hui at first disagreed, but dozens of officials have signed, Ma Shen "solid please", Qin Hui had no choice but to sign. Because of the petitioner in the Qin Hui higher official position (the head of the speech officer), so in the Jingkang two years (1127), the Jin people Qin Hui anti-Chang Bangchang Zhang, he was captured, along with his wife Wang and attendants, etc... At this time, Song Huizong learned of the reign of King Zhao Jiu, wrote to the Jin Shuai sticky Han, and about the peace negotiations, called Qin Hui will be revised and processed and embellished the book of the peace negotiations. Qin Hui also to thick gift bribe sticky Han, Jin Taizong Qin Hui to his brother Tart lazy appointment

Jie

Jie, also known as the deca, Cu deca, birth and death is not known, according to legend, Jie is the last king of the Xia dynasty, the hair of the son. He succeeded to the throne after his death and was a famous tyrant in history. He built many luxurious palaces and endlessly conscripted the people and forced them to labor. The commoners and slaves slacked off and rebelled against Jie's tyranny. Jie also compared himself to the sun, thinking that he could live forever like the sun. The people hated him and cursed him, saying, "O you sun, when will you perish, we are willing to die with you. After 53 years of reign, his country fell, he was banished and died of starvation, and was buried in Woliu Mountain of Nanchao (present-day Woliu Mountain, Chao County, Anhui Province). Jie was so powerful that he could straighten an iron hook with his empty hand. He relied on this brute strength and often hurt the people for no reason. He was brutal in his governance, destroying agricultural production, making indiscriminate foreign conquests and extorting small states. In the 33rd year of his reign, he sent troops to conquer the Arushi clan, which could not resist and paid tribute to him with a beautiful woman named Meixi. He favored Meixi so much that he built for her a magnificent room, an elephant gallery, a jade platform, and a jade bed for them to enjoy themselves shamelessly. All these burdens fell on the people, who suffered a lot and dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. Jie reused sycophants and rejected the loyal and good, and a villain named Zhao Liang, who specialized in Jie's favor, taught Jie how to enjoy, how to extort, and brutalized the people, and gained Jie's favor and trust. In the thirty-seventh year after Jie's accession to the throne, Tang, the leader of the Shang tribe in the east, introduced Yi Yin, a virtuous man of both virtue and talent, to Jie. Yi Yin persuaded Jie with the benevolent policies of Yao and Shun, hoping that Jie would sympathize with the people's hardships and rule the world with his heart. Jie did not listen to him, so Yi Yin had to leave. In his later years, Jie became even more promiscuous, ordering people to build a large pool called the Night Palace, where he took a large group of men and women to mingle, and did not go to court for a month. The Imperial Historian, Zhengu, cried and remonstrated, but Jie was very impatient and scolded Zhengu for meddling in his own affairs. Zhengu knew that Xia Jie was irredeemable and defected to Shang Tang. Xia Jie's subordinate, Guan Long Pang, heard the angry voice of the old man and felt that the situation was not good, so he advised Jie, saying, "If the Son of Heaven is modest and faithful, thrifty and loves talents, the world will be stable and the dynasty will be firm. Now, your majesty is so extravagant and murderous that the people are hoping for your early demise. Your Majesty has lost the hearts of the people. Only by correcting your faults will you be able to win back the hearts of the people." Upon hearing this, Jie scolded Guan Long Pang and finally ordered him to be killed. Xia Jie thought that his rule would never be extinguished. He said, "There is a sun in the sky, just like I have people, will the sun perish? Will the sun perish?" He said, "The sun will perish just as I have my people, will the sun perish? "He also called a meeting with the chiefs of his tribes to prepare for a war against the other tribes. In this way, Jie lost more and more people's hearts, and made all the people rebellious. At this time, the Shang tribe was prospering under the leadership of Tang. Jie feared that Tang would endanger himself, so he imprisoned him in Xia Tai (in present-day Yu County, Henan Province). Soon after, Tang engineered Jie's release. Later, under the planning of the famous minister Yi Yin, Shang Tang raised an army to attack Jie. Tang first attacked Jie's henchmen, Wei and Gu, and defeated Kunwu, and then pushed straight to the Xia town of Mingzhi (west of present-day Anyi County, Shanxi Province). Jie got the news and rushed to Mingjiao with his troops. As the two armies fought, Jie climbed to the top of a nearby hill to watch the battle. Suddenly, a heavy rain fell from the sky, and Jie rushed down from the top of the hill to avoid the rain. Xia army generals were reluctant to sell their lives for Jie, at this time, also took the opportunity to have fled. Xia Jie can not stop, only to flee into the city in a hurry. The Shang army in pursuit, Jie did not dare to stay long, hastily carrying sister Xi and treasures, boarded a small boat, across the river fled to the South Nest (now Chao County, Anhui Province). He was captured by Tang and banished here. At this time, Jie was not repentant, but said fiercely, "I really regret that I didn't kill Tang in Xia Tai Prison at that time!" Jie and his sister Xi were accustomed to living in luxury, in this desolate mountainous countryside, no one to serve, and they could not labor, so they died of starvation in Woliu Mountain; they also said that they died in Ting Mountain (today's Anhui Province, and the county west of Liyang Mountain). Some history books say that Jie was not captured by the Shang soldiers, but fled and hid in Nanchao, and finally died of illness. The Xia Dynasty was declared extinct.

Dixin (Shang Zhou)

Yin Dixin, whose name was Shou, was known as King Zhou of Yin, "called Zhou by the world". He was the youngest son of Emperor Yi, with his mother as the main queen and Xin as the heir. Emperor Zhou was gifted with cleverness and sensitivity; a little longer, he was also very strong, with the power of swaying nine oxen and the strength of stroking a beam to make it easier, which won the favor of Emperor B. At that time, Emperor B was already ten years old and had been in the middle of his life. At that time, Emperor B had been in the city for ten to seven years, and when Emperor B died, Dixin succeeded to the throne. Dixin was the thirtieth ruler of the Shang Dynasty, and also the deceased ruler of the Shang Dynasty. In addition to being gifted and having a marvelous comprehension, King Zhou was also a rare Hercules. The inventor of chopsticks, he had pacified the Eastern Barbarians and gradually spread the culture of the Central Plains to the Yangtze and Huai Rivers, laying the groundwork for the unification of China. Although he was very strong, he refused to give advice, was addicted to wine and sex, and imposed heavy punishments, which led to public grievances. When King Wu of Zhou went to the east, his vassals rebelled against the Shang Dynasty, and when he fought in Muo Ye, Zhou's army was defeated, and he burned himself on Lutai.

Lü Hou

Lü Hou (吕后)

吕后, (242 BC ~ 180 BC) , the wife of Liu Bang (刘邦), Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (汉高祖), was known as Pheasant (雉). She was a native of Shanfu County (present-day Shanxian, Shandong) during the Qin Dynasty. Her father, Duke Lv, moved to Pei County to avoid his enemies, and met Liu Bang at a banquet, where he was betrothed to Pheasant Lv. Soon after the Chu-Han War began, Pheasant Lu and Liu Bang's parents were captured by Xiang Yu and taken hostage in his army. In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty (203 B.C.), Xiang Yu was forced to make peace with Liu Bang due to the loss of the situation, and Lu Pheasant and Liu Bang's parents were released. In the following year, Liu Bang became the emperor and established Lu Pheasant as the queen. In 202 B.C., Liu Bang became the Emperor and crowned Lu Pheasant as Empress. Empress Lu was a tactful and cruel woman who played a great role in Liu Bang's campaign to eliminate the foreign vassal kings. In the 10th year of Emperor Gao Di's reign (197 BC), Minister Chen rebelled and Liu Bang led his troops to stabilize the situation. When she heard that Minister Han Xin was plotting to pardon the officials and the servants for sending troops to respond to Minister Chen, she discussed with Xiao He and tricked Minister Han Xin into entering the palace and then executed him and razed three of his clans. Liu Bang attacked Minister Chen, and when he reached Handan, he asked Peng Yue for troops. Peng Yue claimed that he was sick and refused to go to Handan, but he was dismissed by Liu Bang and resided in Shu. After that, Empress Lu, believing that she could not leave him behind, accused Peng Yue of plotting against the Han Empire, and had his clan annihilated. Empress Lu gave birth to Emperor Hui of Han, Liu Ying, and Princess Lu Yuan. Liu Bang thought that Liu Ying was weak and had planned to appoint Zhao Wang Ruyi, the son of his favorite concubine Qi Wu, as the crown prince. Due to the opposition of the ministers and the efforts of Empress Lu to support Liu Ying, the plan to abolish the crown prince was not accomplished. After Liu Bang's death, Lu Piang, fearing that the Emperor Hui was young and that the ministers would not obey her, plotted to kill all the generals; but she was afraid that the generals possessed military power and did not dare to do so. Later, she poisoned the king of Zhao, cut off the hands and feet of Mrs. Qi, gouged out her eyes and smoked her ears, used medicine to make her mute, and put her in the toilet, which was called "human swine". He also brutalized the other Liu kings. Emperor Hui was a kind and gentle man, dissatisfied with what Empress Lu did and abandoned the government, so Empress Lu took charge of the power. After Liu Ying died of melancholy in the seventh year of Emperor Hui's reign, Empress Lu, who had been in charge of the dynasty for eight years, became the first Chinese emperor to be the sole ruler of his own country. She became the first woman in the history of the Chinese imperial dynasty to be the sole ruler of the country. During her reign, Empress Lu suppressed the power of the meritorious officials, made Zhu Lu the king, and promoted her close friends to take over the affairs of the state without authorization. However, during the eight years of her reign, she continued to implement the policy of resting with the people since the reign of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, rewarding farming, abolishing the crime of razing the three clans, and abolishing the tyrannical laws such as the Demonic Words Order; and externally, she kept peace with Xiong Nu by making peace with her relatives, so the people's life was relatively stable, and the shattered economy and society could be restored, which made a certain contribution to the economic and social development of the early Han Dynasty. In 180 BC, Empress Lu died at the age of 62. After her death, the lieutenant Zhou Bo and the prime minister Chen Ping united with Liu Bang's old ministers to kill the prime minister Lü Yan and the general Lü Lu, to exterminate the Lü family and to restore Liu's regime.
