On this day, 84 years ago, on July 1, 1941 (June 7, 1941 in the lunar calendar), the Wang government's Rural Cleanup Committee began to implement the "Rural Cleanup Movement." A family begging for food in the Japanese puppet area On July 1, 1941, the Wang government's township cleaning committee began to implement the "township cleaning movement." In order to consolidate their rule in central China, the Japanese invading army instructed the Wang regime to establish the Qingxiang Committee in May, with Wang Jingwei as chairman, Chen Gongbo and Zhou Foshu as vice-chairmen, and Li Shiqun as secretary-general responsible for guiding the "Qingxiang Movement". The movement was militarily responsible for the Japanese army, with the cooperation of the puppet army, and politically the Wang regime. The "Qingxiang Movement" was launched since then with the principles of "advancing military and political affairs, simultaneously suppressing and pacifying" and "dividing military affairs into three and dividing politics into seven". It started first in southern Jiangsu, then in the southeast of Taihu Lake, the suburbs of Shanghai, and Suhuai Special and other districts, then in Zhenjiang, northern Jiangsu and parts of Zhejiang, and finally in parts of Anhui, Guangdong, and Hubei. The first step of the "township cleanup movement" was the "military township cleanup": the Japanese puppet troops built bunkers, artillery buildings, blockade ditches, blockade walls, bamboo and wood fences in the Qingxiang area, set up barbed wire and power grids, divided and blockaded the anti-Japanese base areas, and then carried out "mopping up" the anti-Japanese base areas; The second step is "political cleansing of the countryside": the Wang regime extensively promoted "China-Japan goodwill" and "peaceful founding of the country" in the Qingxiang area. While publicizing the masses, it also implemented the formation of troops to protect the Jia Dynasty, joint security services, and formed police security forces, promoted the methods of surrendering and instigating whistleblowing to strengthen fascist rule; the third step is "economic cleansing of the countryside": the Wang regime implemented strict material control policies and material blockade and embargo policies in the Qingxiang area, and implemented economic blockade on anti-Japanese base areas; The fourth step is to "ideologically clear the countryside": the Wang regime established institutions to control schools in the Qingxiang area, published newspapers and periodicals, organized "youth leagues", and carried out anti-communist education. Comment: It seems that Wang Jingwei's view of saving the country by curve is untenable.
