1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

A woman in a dress covered her lips and chuckled, but her eyes swept over the slightly old-fashioned style of the other person's clothes - that was released when the "Queen Company" was first established, and it would have been obsolete this year.

"Sister Wanhua is quite sharp-eyed, but I'm afraid she forgot one thing.

"What?

"His Highness is a man who cherishes the past. How many men in the world would be like him and treat the royal family of the previous dynasty so well?"

The mocked woman sneered faintly, her fingertips sliding lightly on the cheongsam, but "inadvertently" showing off the expensive jade bracelet on her wrist:

"This is a dress designed by Her Majesty Wanrong herself. It is said that she often wears it for Your Highness to see."

"Wanrong" was choked suddenly.

To this day, the fact that Wanrong was Fujiwara no Kanezane's woman and gave birth to his bloodline is already known to the world, but apart from a few old people and young people who escaped "kind treatment" and wailed that it was "disgraceful to the national dignity", no one would complain about it.

On the contrary, many women, especially "progressive women," envy Wanrong's life. Although she lost the throne, she was in charge of a well-known domestic company and had her own career. Isn't this the life that many people dream of?

Fujiwara no Kanezane's arrangement for Wanrong was not regarded as "bullying" by others. Instead, it made more people feel that he was a man they could entrust their lives to.

"Zhilan" was actually mocking "Wanhua" with these words. "You don't even understand this, and you still dare to participate in the selection of concubines?"

Anyway, after a routine argument, the woman named Wanhua realized she was no match for her opponent and had to choose to truce and start a fight:

"We are all from the south, so we should take care of each other so as not to be laughed at by others.

Following her gaze, in the left corner, there is a group of "princess candidates" who are not special yet very special.

I say they are not special because the way these women dress is not much different from the other women around them - some wear modified cheongsams, some wear Japanese kimonos, and some wear Western-style long skirts. They are all young and beautiful.

The reason why they are special is mainly because of their identity - it is not a question of ethnicity or nationality, as there were many Russians or Jews participating in the selection of princesses, but their identity as "remnants of the previous dynasty."

Now is the period of the "Five-Star Eastern Republic", so these people from the "Manchurian Empire" period can naturally be called "remnants of the previous dynasty."

Yes, this group of young women are basically descendants of high-ranking officials and generals of the "Manchukuo" who died in the "Puyi's Enthronement Ceremony", such as Zhang Jinghui's daughter Zhang Mengqi, Xi Qia's niece Xi Lun, Zhang Qi, the daughter of the president of the Northeast Branch of the Bank of East Asia, and so on.

Among this group of remnants, the two most prominent and famous ones were Yu Ruolan, the granddaughter of Yu Chonghan, the highest adviser of the Fengtian Provincial Government and the daughter of the former director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Manchukuo, and Ma Shijie, the daughter of Ma Xilin, the "Security Commander" of Fengtian Province.

The two of them went to Japan in June last year to participate in a series of activities organized by the "Manchukuo Diplomatic Coordination Association Delegation". Hirohito even accepted the "remote worship" of the delegation outside the walls of the Tokyo Imperial Palace.

With such "qualifications", they naturally became very eye-catching figures in the concubine selection ceremony. In order to "understand the inside story and seize the initiative", many women from the south rushed to present gifts to them and make friends with them.

However, this was just the beginning. Before everyone understood the actual situation in Northeast China, everyone's attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Because everyone soon discovered that, unlike how he treated Wanrong, Fujiwara no Kanezane didn't seem to care much about this group of "descendants of meritorious officials."

Not only were they not assigned work or given important tasks, but they were suppressed to a considerable extent.

For example, Ma Shijie's father, Ma Xilin, was taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs last year after being reported for corruption. After more crimes were found out, he was not only shot directly, but a large amount of gold, silver and treasures were also confiscated from his home.

Logically speaking, for a "founding hero" like Ma Xilin, who was merely guilty of corruption, bribery and seizure of people's land, he should not have ended up like this. The only explanation is that Fujiwara no Kanezane was dissatisfied with him.

Of course, this is wrong, because most people do not understand Fujiwara no Kanezane and do not know that in the eyes of the other party, "equal treatment" must be implemented in place.

The Chinese committed a capital crime, killing;

Japanese who commit capital crimes will be killed in the same way;

In the old days, if a scholar committed a capital crime, he would be killed;

The Communist Party still kills people who commit capital crimes.

I don't care about your this or that.jPg.

In short, because of the discovery of the plight of this group of "remnants of the previous dynasty", the "crowded place" instantly became "deserted".

If Fujiwara no Kanezane only purged their fathers and did not do much to them, and even accepted their "application for princess selection", then it would not be "deserted" but "avoided".

Noticing the malicious glances directed at her and vaguely hearing those unpleasant words, Yu Ruolan lowered her head slightly and said to Ma Shijie, who had a grim expression beside her:

"Don't worry, they are just a bunch of incompetent scoundrels. Your Highness would look down upon such people.

"Yeah, I know..."

Ma Shijie clenched his fists and swore in his heart:

I'll report all your performance to His Highness, and you'll be in trouble!

Yes, this group of "old candidates" has a mission on their shoulders.

According to Fujiwara no Kanezane's temper, even if these young ladies hadn't committed any crime, they would be stripped naked and not be able to take advantage of them at all;

Why should your father or grandfather exploit the people to provide you with a comfortable life, and then you can stay out of it by saying "my son/daughter/grandson/granddaughter didn't participate"?

They can even keep their property and allow these criminals to continue living a luxurious life.

There is no such good thing in the world!

The only result of doing this is that, like those "drug trafficking villages" in certain border areas, the whole village supports drug trafficking, and even erects monuments and biographies for the drug traffickers who have been shot and helps take care of their families.

why?

Drug traffickers have made it possible for their families and villagers to live a good life!

In that case, I will die and my whole family will be happy.

Therefore, "drug traffickers" must be eradicated, and those who have enjoyed the benefits brought by drug traffickers must also be dealt with.

Sometimes it is really necessary to punish nine generations of a family.

Otherwise, everyone will be like the bastard Xu Jiayin of the future, who made a huge mistake but whose wife and children are still the world's richest men and whose stakeholders are safe. Is this fair to the general public?

Overemphasizing "procedural justice" will ultimately lead to the "unjust outcomes" and more serious "procedural corruption" that are often seen in public security, procuratorial and judicial organs, especially courts, in the future.

However, considering that some people were not involved in the crimes, killing them directly was not in line with the spirit of modern law. In addition, given the "special status" of women, Fujiwara Kanezane mercifully gave them a "mission of atonement":

Infiltrate the "Princess Candidates Group" and strengthen social interaction, monitor the candidates' behavior and report.

As for whether they would "add fuel to the fire" or even "lie about military intelligence", Fujiwara no Kanezane didn't care at all.

Anyway, we are just "runners-up", so who cares why we were not selected?

Besides, it’s obvious that the “spies” he arranged were not just Yu Ruolan and her group.

"We're down to Hachiman Palace!!!"

With the loud roars of dozens of soldiers, the chirping of ducks was instantly suppressed. Fujiwara Kanezane, wearing a well-fitting suit and looking very handsome, appeared on the rostrum as usual, and was greeted with screams and cheers.

Well, because it was too far away, in fact, not many people could see his appearance clearly. Who would care about appearance at this time?

Even if Fujiwara Kanezane is a 300-pound fat pig, it doesn't matter!

Whoever is chosen will be the most powerful and prestigious woman in China!

In the face of these conditions, everything else is nothing!

Fujiwara Kanezane stood on the podium, with the huge "Five-Star Eastern Republic" flag behind him. A barely perceptible coldness appeared at the corner of his mouth. He pressed his palms together, signaling silence for the audience, and began his hypocritical yet sincere speech:

"First of all, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to all the beautiful ladies present here. You have come from across mountains and rivers. Some come from the misty rain of Jiangnan, some from the snowy plains of the north, and some even travel across the oceans from Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States..."

"This enthusiasm has left me deeply surprised and overwhelmed... No matter who ultimately becomes my lifelong companion, I will always cherish your affection in my heart."

To be honest, although these "polite words" are touching, they are ultimately within everyone's expectations and can be considered "relatively routine". However, Fuji's subsequent speech, especially the content related to the "princess standards", is a bit confusing.

"...Everyone says that a princess should be bright, charming, dignified and elegant, but in my eyes, my princess is more than just a beautiful jewel in the trinkets. She should stand on the ground, not hang in the clouds..."

what?

What does this mean?

Do we have to show up in public like Wanrong?

"Recently, while reading your files, two figures impressed me.

Fujiwara Kanezane flipped through the booklet in his hand:

"First, 90% of you can play a musical instrument proficiently, or have considerable literary attainments, and can easily compose poetry and essays. You are truly outstanding representatives of women today..."

Before the women could even smile, a "but" popped up:

"However, only 5% of people know about the daily wages of ordinary female textile workers in Shenyang, and even fewer people understand or discuss the 'Three Represents' and the country's policy agenda, or care about people's livelihood issues..."

Is there anything wrong with this?

Politics is a man's business!

The harem doesn't interfere in government affairs, isn't that what everyone in the family says?

Most women were baffled by what they heard, and only a few showed a thoughtful expression.

"Some say that selecting a concubine is an elegant affair, one that involves discussing poetry, songs, and love affairs, and selecting the most beautiful and elegant women. But I can't do that. I also bear the responsibility of the people, and my princess certainly can't stay out of it.

"If one day in the future I need you to comfort the people on my behalf and on behalf of this country, will you use Chopin's nocturnes or a real pension policy to deal with the tears and suffering?

A little more people understood this passage.

After all, most of those who were sent by their parents and families to "select concubines" had decent family conditions and had naturally received some "political education" in advance.

Fujiwara no Kanezane was a politician, and his princess also needed to participate in some political activities.

Just look at how Wanrong enhanced her husband Puyi's reputation by donating jewelry and you will know what to do.

However, they still didn't understand that Fujiwara Kanezane wanted more than just this:

…A dozen days ago, I was wandering the streets of Shenyang when I stumbled upon a candidate eating brown rice mixed with sawdust. Others were mocking her, asking how she could dream of becoming a princess when she was so poor.

Some people in the meeting hall immediately broke out in cold sweat.

His Majesty Hachiman-no-Miyazu is actually conducting an "incognito visit"?

Then what I did, shouldn't be done.

…To be honest, this lady isn't particularly good-looking. Her teeth are severely worn from eating brown rice for so long, and she doesn't seem to understand anything about the gong, shang, jiao, zhi, or yu (poems about the goddess of the Luo River).

"But I don't care. I think a girl who has eaten this kind of food would be more likely to notice the mold in the relief food than those ladies who eat caviar with a silver spoon. If one day I need her to replace me to help with disaster relief..."

N

The meaning of this statement is even more obvious;

But unfortunately, only a few people understand the deeper meaning. Most people still think that Fujiwara no Kanezane was saying that he needed his future princess to be smart and capable enough to help him make money or shape his image like Wanrong.

If the fathers and brothers of these women were present, they might be able to help them, but Fujiwara no Kanezane had already taken precautions against this - so at today's meeting, except for the staff and him, no outsiders, especially men, were allowed to attend.

"...I don't need so-called 'ladies' produced on an assembly line. What I need are comrades who can diligently help me implement the 'Three Represents' philosophy. Only those who understand my philosophy are qualified to stand by my side..."

"So, in the coming days, please take off your precious jewelry and gorgeous lace dresses for a while, and go out and see where the people are!"

The speech ended inexplicably.

Afterwards, the candidates were told that they would be randomly assigned to various places in society, such as martyrs' cemeteries, schools, vegetable markets, and government departments, where they would undergo the "Princess Selection Test."

?

Fujiwara no Kanezane's selection was already unusual enough, and this new method of selecting a princess was unprecedented. However, His Majesty Hachiman-no-miya went to do other work after he finished speaking, and everyone had no choice but to leave according to the staff's instructions and arrangements.

Then, all kinds of fun, big and small, began to happen.

At the Martyrs' Cemetery, some complained that the ashes from burning paper had stained their leather shoes, others carelessly tossed memorial chrysanthemums into the trash, some mocked the idea that roughnecks who died in military exercises or training weren't considered martyrs, and some even rolled their eyes and frowned impatiently throughout.

In schools and orphanages, there are those who beat and scold children, those who refuse to help with chopping and preparing food, those who have their maids or servants do their work, and those who put sand in the flour their companions are kneading to frame them...

In hospitals, some refuse to care for patients, some insult them, saying, "Poor people don't deserve to come to the hospital, die early and be reborn," and some pretend to be sick and "get hospitalized" to enjoy the care of the nurses...

The above are still considered good. There are even worse cases, such as some young ladies who were assigned to the "Rural Construction Work Station". After learning where they were going, they cursed on the spot, "I am here to be a princess, not to work with the peasants", and then directly announced their withdrawal.

Of course, apart from these big idiots who "don't even want to pretend", some people behave quite "smartly" - some people behave well and then reveal their true colors, some bribe staff to exempt them from work or let them "say something good", etc.

But, it's all useless.

They didn't know that not only the staff would evaluate their performance, but there were also male and female spies everywhere around them, even the former Ministry of Internal Affairs or "Fujiwara no Uchie" who were watching their every move.

Of course, Fujiwara Kanezane never expected that a few days of "internship" would be enough to make these delicate young ladies "turn over a new leaf." He didn't even expect them to change. He just needed an excuse to eliminate them.

He has lived in Northeast China for several months, created so much GDP, donated so much money to his majesty Fujiwara's industry, and helped the common people make a lot of money. Even if you want him to get out, you should at least give a proper reason!

Regardless of whether you accept it or not, understand it or not, the reasons have been given and face has been given, and no one can say anything.

Both the agent and UMP40, the two "candidates," had to pretend to leave a record somewhere!

It's not shameful to take care of the financial sponsor's feelings.

Moreover, among the thousands of people, not all of them are "young ladies". The performance of some people is still quite worthy of praise:

Washing the feet of paralyzed elderly people in nursing homes, not avoiding the filth of patients in hospitals, patiently teaching children in schools, diligently sweeping the martyrs' cemetery, buying vegetables for the poor with their own money at the vegetable market, explaining policies to farmers at rural service stations...

Although after several rounds of elimination there are less than 100 such people left, and although there are certainly some among these people who are pretending not because of their ordinary backgrounds and hardships, it is enough.

Maybe they can't be princesses, but they are fully qualified to be a staff member or even a cadre. This is also another unique way of talent selection.
