Entering the Imperial Life of Puyi Puppet Manchu Palace (Ⅱ)

Hi! As vast as history, hello everyone! Let's hang up the book.

The building we see now is called Qin Min Building, and the gate is called Chengguangmen. 1942, the great traitor Wang Ching-wei also walked into this building and met the Manchu emperor Puyi. At that time, Wang Jingwei assassinated Puyi's father, Regent Zai Feng, for the second time, so it is said that meeting Puyi in that year made Wang Jingwei very embarrassed.

In this "diplomatic conference", the Japanese insisted that Wang Ching-wei use Song Li to meet Puyi, who was equivalent to the vassal state worshipping the suzerain state. Wang Jingwei naturally refused, demanding equal courtesy from the two heads of state. Finally, the Japanese mediated the two sides to reach a compromise and adopted western etiquette. After Wang Jingwei entered the palace, he just shook hands with Puyi.

What we are seeing now is the hall where we met. However, on the day of meeting, after Wang entered the palace that day, he found that Puyi had stood above the main hall, and Wang Jingwei and others could only stand below. When they are settled, they must salute according to royal etiquette. However, this is completely different from the western rituals agreed before. At this moment, Wang Jingwei can only be helpless, but after three bows, Puyi still ignores him. After a while, Puyi came down and shook hands with Wang Jingwei. Wang Jingwei later burst into tears and felt humiliated. Puyi also avenged Wang's attempt to kill his father. This is also the most ironic "diplomatic conference" in the history of China.

This is the place where the Japanese Manchuria Agreement was signed at that time, and the agreement between the Puppet Manchukuo and Japan was signed on September 1932. ) The signing ceremony was held here at 9 o'clock that day. The representatives of Puppet Manchukuo attended the signing ceremony, including Puyi, the ruling party of Puppet Manchukuo, Zheng, the Prime Minister of Puppet Manchukuo, Xie Jieshi, the Minister of General Affairs of Puppet Manchukuo, Takagi Musashi, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Puppet Manchukuo, Hashimoto Tōru and the Prime Minister of Puppet Manchukuo. Japanese representatives are Nobuyoshi Muto, Commander of the Kwantung Army, Governor of Kwantung and Ambassador Plenipotentiary to Manchuria, Xiao Yiguo Zhao, Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, Counsellor Chuan Yuemao, Secretary Lin Zhu and Mizeju.

The banquet hall of the Puppet Manchuria Palace was set up according to the western banquet. About a * * * can sit thirty or forty diners. The other room opposite the window is where the band plays, with seven or eight brass instruments and a percussion drum. This is very different from the place where the emperor accepted worship, and it is basically a completely westernized atmosphere. During the dinner, Puyi sat on the red throne in the middle.

Where the band plays.

At that time, Puyi hosted a banquet here to entertain Commander Kwantung.

This is the office of Yoshioka Yasunari, a senior staff officer of the Japanese Kwantung Army. As a representative of the Japanese Kwantung Army, he was stationed in the Imperial Palace of Manchukuo for a long time and worked here. In fact, he is Pu Yi's immediate supervisor. Because of his outstanding performance in supervising Puyi's work. Within ten years, he was promoted from assistant to lieutenant general.

This is Yasunari Yoshioka.

This is Parker's car, which is Puyi's special car from Tianjin to Changchun. This Parker car was manufactured by Parker Company in Detroit, Michigan, USA in the late 1920s. It is 5.7m long,1.7m high and1.8m wide. High horsepower, fast speed and comfortable ride. This is the car that Puyi took when he escaped from Tonghua last time.

1935 starts the design, 1937 starts the construction, and 1938 ends the construction. The name "Tongdetang" means "with one heart and one mind" and "with one heart every day". The shape of Tongdetang is a combination of China and Japan, and the words "one heart" and "one virtue" are burned on every tile paper.

Puyi once met members of Japanese Suicide Squad here.

Tongdetang was the first building in Manchukuo at that time, both in appearance and interior decoration. However, the Tongde Hall after its completion is very strange. For example, when two people touch each other, there is a spark with a bang, or the flash lights up when it touches iron. In fact, this is only a static phenomenon, but at that time, Puyi suspected that the Japanese had installed a bug in the building and sent a waiter to check it himself. Nothing unusual was found, but it still failed to dispel his doubts. As a result, Tongdetang has never been officially used. He personally lives in Jixi Building, and Tongdetang is basically used as an office.

A worship room where ministers and envoys meet to pay their respects.

Puyide entertainment room

Built in 1938, covering an area of 1 1000 square meters.

A well-preserved Japanese garden: Dongyu Garden

At that time, in order to restore the garden, the staff found Sato Chang, a 99-year-old garden designer. He handed over his manuscript "The History of Manchuria Gardening" and the only garden photo taken that year to the Palace Museum of the Puppet Manchukuo. Only today can we see the East Imperial Garden.

In the swimming pool, Puyi is a dragon. She never goes into the water in public, just watching her younger brother and sister go into the water to play.

Next to the swimming pool is the Royal Air-raid shelter, 1939 completed, all of which are reinforced concrete structures. Each room has an iron gate to prevent the direct bombardment of heavy bombs. There are two entrances and exits outside the cave, and there are shrines in the cave for the gods to shine. At the end of the Puppet Manchukuo, every time there was an air raid, the ritual officer would move the gods into the cave to escape. 1945, before the collapse of Manchukuo, Puyi lived in fear all day long, slept in clothes at night, carried a pistol with him, and personally stipulated martial law passwords every night. Whenever I hear the air raid alarm, I will recite Buddhist scriptures silently and run to the air raid shelter to escape until the alarm is lifted.

Go through the rockery and enter the door of the bomb shelter.

Go down the steep 37 steps and you will arrive at the cave. What we saw head-on was a north-south corridor.

There are seven iron gates in the corridor, which can effectively block the air billow and shock wave of the bomb. There are five flat-topped rooms on the west side of the corridor: the first room is a ventilation room, and the ventilation equipment is connected to the gas tank, which can effectively prevent gas and input fresh air at any time. The second to fifth rooms are bullet-proof rooms, and there is an emergency exit at the end of the corridor, which is shaft-shaped.

The Palace was built in the early 20th century, and was originally the residence of Wei Zonglian, the director of Jiheique Transportation Bureau. 1March, 932, after Puyi became the head of the puppet Manchukuo, he became the executive board. 1in March, 934, Puyi proclaimed himself emperor and changed his government to a palace. As one of the main auxiliary institutions directly under Puyi, his ministers, deputy ministers and some institutions under his jurisdiction all work here.

Coming out of the palace is the lucky gate, where I have basically visited the Palace Museum of the Puppet Manchukuo. The particularity of Lucky Gate lies in its extraordinary significance in Pu Yi's mind. At the same time, this door also witnessed the last moment before the puppet emperor embarked on the road to escape. Xingyunmen was built in 1934. On the eve of Puyi's third accession to the throne as the emperor of Manchukuo, Puyi's dream was to "return to his hometown and make the country rich and strong".

If you go sightseeing, you must pay attention to the clock behind the nebula gate and stop at 9: 10. According to legend, this moment refers to 9: 00 p.m. in August of1945+/kloc-0, which is the moment when Puyi left the Puppet Manchuria Palace and embarked on the road of escape.

The lucky gate is the exit, and the last side is the racecourse.

Manchu is a nomadic people, and their ancestors also won the world by riding horses and archery. Although Puyi's kung fu on horseback at this time can't be compared with that of his ancestors, he built this racecourse, and whenever he was free, Puyi rode in uniform. At that time, the emperor of Japan and the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army presented a famous horse to Puyi.

Here it is.

Here it is.

The last emperor of China, the place where Puyi lived.

Puyi, the last emperor of Qing Dynasty and puppet emperor of Manchukuo, ascended the throne three times, and his life experienced ups and downs. From war criminals to citizens, his legendary experience shows us a historic change.

A husband can dress himself up with copper as a mirror; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; Take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses.

As vast as history, see you next time.
