Since the 1980s, the academic has made fruitful achievements in the study of the enemy-occupied areas under the hard work of scholars Cai Dejin and Huang Meizhen.The study focuses on the abduction of Japanese Puppet groups in the occupied areas, such as the colonial rule of the Japanese Puppet group, the operation of the regime,the economic control and the enslavement. Retrospective has been the results, more from the critical, prosecution point of view, standing outside the enemy-occupied areas to view the enemy-occupied areas.This paper analyzes the process of social order change in Wuhan during the period of occupation from the perspective of the interaction between Japanese Puppet group and people. In contrast to the previous studies on the destruction of the original social order, this paper focuses on how the Japanese Puppet groups construct and maintain the "new order" and the process of disintegration.When the Japanese army just entered into Wuhan, they had made a series of terror and massacre tragedy, violent means to threaten the Wuhan people.After the release of the tension in the war, the Japanese spy department immediately carried out "after gun work",is committed to the restoration and stability of social order. Since the establishment of Wuhan Public Security will be established to the establishment and operation of the special city of pseudo-Wuhan, after the fall of Wuhan gradually into the rule by the Japanese "new normal." When the war was fixed, rural people fled to Wuhan,Wuhan population gradually recovered. The establishment of a harsh military police order, strict prevention of anti-Japanese forces in Wuhan activities; the implementation of economic control policies, the management of the Wuhan area of the public ration;strengthen the ideological and cultural areas of control, to carry out the new national movement,digest the general public Hatred, anti-Japanese sentiment. The implementation of various kinds of ruling measures, intended to cultivate faithful to the rule of Japan and the "people", to the Japanese-based, pseudo-regime, supplemented by the general public participation in the ,"New Order in East Asia."In December 1941 , the Pacific War broke out, the Japanese army invaded into the French Concession, controlled Wuhan completely.With the Japanese in the Pacific battlefield from the advantages into a disadvantage,the economic operation of Wuhan into a dangerous situation. Due to the limited local production,coupled with the Japanese"war for war" strategy, Wuhan material supply is very scarce,prices rose sharply.Previously can still rely on the overseas imports of materials, but also with the Japanese strategy lost power and blocked. In addition, the New Fourth Army and the Kuomintang agents worked on anti-Japanese activities in Wuhan and the surrounding areas,so that the Japanese such as pins and fires,Japanese Puppet group in the Wuhan region suffered a crisis. Into 1944, the US aircraft bombed Wuhan,leading a serious damage to the social-economic operation of Wuhan.The food supply was extremely tense, other people's livelihood prices were soaring, hyperinflation continued,the situation of people's livelihood deteriorated rapidly, the Japanese rule in the Wuhan area on the brink of collapse.In short,the Wuhan social order was under the control of Japanese Puppet group during the fall,with the change of Japanese strategy.Under the rule of Japanese Puppet group,the ordinary people maintain a limited "cooperation" for survival needs, they also use their "weak weapons", to take non-organized personal action to digest the normal order of the Japanese Puppet group. In the context of the fall, different subjects based on the interests of the consideration, with different operational logic. The rule of the Japanese Puppet is backed by violence, with economic control and ideological control as a means, not only establish a strict colonial rule system, but also because of the advancement of war to resolve the efforts to maintain the order of occupation, fully demonstrated the violence under the rule of social order Colonization and vulnerability.
