He was originally a peasant's son, and in order to become an official, he actually pretended to be the brother of the Mao Renfeng clan, and from a primary school teacher, he climbed dai and Mao Renfeng, and became a military commander.
He had done good deeds, and during the War of Resistance he had ventured to lurk in enemy-occupied areas, been arrested twice, and escaped from the eyes of the Japanese twice;
On the eve of liberation, as the chief of the Shanghai police, he had a polite and elegant appearance, but his heart was fierce, killing people like hemp, and was nicknamed "Mao Bone Sensen".
However, after his defeat and retreat to Taiwan, he offended Chiang Ching-kuo, lost power in the power struggle, and was wanted, so he had to flee again.
He's Mawson!
The brother of the Feng clan, a fake Mao, entered the military command
In Jiangshan County, a remote corner of the southwest of Zhejiang, a large number of Kuomintang agents appeared in the first half of the last century, and most of them belonged to the military command system.
Mao Sen in the "Three Hairs" was regarded as the "Murderous Demon King" at that time, and his prestige was far and wide, but his people and deeds were little known after a long time behind a layer of mystery.
Mao Sen, whose original name was Mao Hongyou, was born in 1908 in Jiepai and Ren Village, Jiangshan County. Before he graduated from primary school, he borrowed the diploma of his fellow villager Mao Shansen and was admitted to the Eighth Normal School of Quzhou.
After graduating from the normal school in 1930, Mao Sen worked as a primary school teacher for one year, and he was uneasy about the profession of this "monkey king", and in 1931 he was admitted to the second phase of the Zhejiang Police Academy.
At this time, Dai Kasa was appointed as the political commissioner of the Zhejiang Police Academy, and his subordinates included his brother-in-law Mao Zongliang and Mao Renfeng and Mao Wanli. Mao Renfeng heard that among the 31st freshmen, there was a student named "Mao Shansen", who was also a Jiangshan person. True Mao Shansen is Mao Renfeng's own brother, and Mao Renfeng feels strange why "Mao Shansen" did not come to see him, but went to see him in person. At a glance, it turned out that this "Mao Shansen" was a fake. Mao Sen explained the reason, and Mao Renfeng did not pursue it, but only asked him to change his name in the future, and also intended to introduce him as a close confidant. Later, Mao Sen graduated from the police academy, was sent to a special training class, and then joined the Revival Society (the predecessor of the military unification), and since then he has followed Dai Kasa and become a member of the military unification. When filling out the form, he removed the word "good" in the middle and changed it to Mao Sen, which he used for the rest of his life.
Mao Sen first showed his skills in Fujian
The first time Mao Sen completed the task assigned by Dai Kasa, he showed his "talent" that was different from everyone else.
After the Songhu War of Resistance in 1932, Cai Tingkai and Jiang Guangnai led the 19th Route Army to Fujian. Soon, Li Jishen, Chen Mingshu, Cai Tingkai, Jiang Guangnai, and others openly broke with Chiang Kai-shek and formed the Fujian People's Revolutionary Government. While Chiang Kai-shek was in a hurry to dispatch 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress them, he was also worried about the changes of the troops originally stationed in Fujian. So Dai Kasa sent Mao Sen to Fujian to monitor. He came to Pucheng as a reporter for a military magazine, and the Pucheng garrison was the base of Zhang Dian of the independent 45th Brigade. After some intercourse, Mao Sen and Zhang Dianji became friends. The garrisons of Jian'ou, Longxi, and Shaowu adjacent to Pucheng were all related to Zhang Dianji, and the local garrison was never involved in the "Fujian Revolution". After the failure of the "Fujian Revolution", Dai Kasa took Mao Sen seriously and appointed him as the director of the special police group of the Fuzhou City Police Department. Mawson is good at dancing with long sleeves, and there are many praises from all parties. The "reputation" of Mao Sen has been continuously transmitted to the ears of Chen Yi, the chairman of Fujian Province. Chen Yi, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, regarded Mao Sen as a datong township and has favored him ever since.
In 1937, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, Mao Sen, who was in Fujian, suddenly received Dai Kasa's urgent telegram and ordered him to quickly go to Jiangshan to recruit troops and buy horses, form a special force force- the Military Commission Einsatzgruppen Brigade, and appointed him as the leader of the second brigade.
Mao Sen, who was very deep in the city government, made a special trip to bid farewell to Chen Yi, and Chen Yi, who had always been full of righteousness, generously gave him a batch of military supplies. When Mawson first established the Einsatzgruppen Brigade, he started with this batch of military supplies. In 1948, Chen Yi was appointed chairman of Zhejiang Province, and at the beginning of his succession, He appointed Mao Sen as the director of the Zhejiang Provincial Police Security Department and the second director of the Quzhou Appeasement Office. For this benefactor, Mao Sen was not partial, and like Tang Enbo, he killed his relatives in righteousness and exposed the rebellion of Chen Yi. After Mao Sen discovered that Chen Yi had drawn closer to the CCP and was preparing to plot against Tang Enbo's secrets, he immediately reported to Shangfeng and monitored Chen Yi's actions. Subsequently, Chen Yi was reported by Tang Enbo and executed by the Nationalist government in Taipei in 1950.
Mawson during the War of Resistance
As an agent, Mawson was arguably quite remarkable. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he was arrested twice by the Japanese army, and he was able to escape smoothly, which is enough to be an example.
In September 1938, Mao Sen was sent to lurk in Hangzhou and served as the head of the intelligence station. Mawson asked Dai to send a resourceful, able woman as his assistant and propose a specific candidate, Hu Dezhen. She was a student in the Zhejiang Special Training Class, and Mao Sen found her to be both steady and intelligent. At that time, he had divorced his wife and intended to reorganize the family, and Hu was the right person.
Hu Dezhen's brother Hu Puren was a journalist, and with his help, Mao Sen opened a ham shop and a rice shop, looking like a businessman. Then, he proposed to Hu Dezhen, and he got his wish. According to the Military Unification Family Law, military commanders were not allowed to marry during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Mawson's argument is that starting a family is more conducive to latent work. Dai Kasa also made an exception and agreed, and also approved a special fee of 500 yuan as a congratulatory gift.
On January 18, 1939, while Mawson was newly married, the Japanese gendarmes surrounded Mawson's apartment (2 Dajing Lane). Mawson was caught off guard and was arrested and imprisoned. Fortunately, Hu Dezhen was not implicated. In prison, Mawson resisted all kinds of torture and refused to confess, saying that he was just a businessman. Hu Dezhen was outside planning a rescue. More than 10 shops jointly demanded bail for "Boss Mao"; Mao's subordinate Shen Feng was related to the fourth lady of Xu Pucheng, commander of the First Army of the Puppet Army stationed in Hangzhou, and through her joints were opened; at this time, Chongqing also sent people to rescue them. With a three-pronged approach, the Japanese Kou had no evidence and had no choice but to release them.
In 1942, Mawson re-entered the Japanese Kouluo network in Shanghai. At that time, he was ordered by Dai Kasa to quietly enter Shanghai and set up the Shanghai Action Corps to carry out sabotage activities. For a time, the Japanese and puppet warehouses were bombed, the railway was paralyzed, and the traitors were sniped...
At this time, Mao Sen's Chen Jilian Action Group lost its hand in the operation, Chen Jilian was arrested, confessed the names of two traffic, and the two people were also arrested immediately, among which the internal traffic Zhou Xiaoguang could not withstand the torture of the Japanese army and confessed to Mao Sen. Mawson was arrested for the second time.
After Mawson's arrest, the dragons were left leaderless, and the operations corps stopped the sabotage. The commander of the Japanese gendarmerie, Major General Kinoshita Eiichi, sensing Mawson's role was important, ordered that the guards for Mawson be strengthened. The enemy imprisoned him in the troops of Deswell Road Kenzo, who was rotated by dozens of Kenzo day and night. There were Chinese in Kensa, and Mao Sen bribed it with gold, and someone actually wanted to use it for Mawson.
As a result, Mao Sen, who was in tight captivity, was able to carry out the "order to remove adultery" handed down with the commander Dai Kasa.
Li Kaifeng (pseudonym Yu Jie), the telecommunications inspector of the Southeast Bureau of military command at the time, was tempted by profit and surrendered to the Wang puppet secret service "No. 76". Dai Kasa was furious and ordered Mawson to get rid of the man. By the time of the "exorcism order," Mawson was already in prison. Hu Dezhen secretly passed the order to prison. Mawson came up with an anti-rape plan for Hu Dezhen to implement. Hu Dezhen bribed Liu Quande, a guard guard of Chen Gongshu, the former commander of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and asked him to assassinate Yu. The plan was a success.
As soon as Yu died, Li Shiqun, the leader of the Wang puppet secret service "No. 76", became aware that Mao Sen was the mastermind, and he complained to the Japanese. The Japanese Kou strengthened their guards over Mawson and prepared to put him to death if necessary.
On New Year's Day 1944, in the absence of the Japanese, Mao Sen escaped from the magic cave under the eyes of the Chinese Xianzuo Xing Juncai (Xing Juncai had long been bribed by Mao Sen), and under the help of the outside, he quickly left Shanghai for Chun'an in western Zhejiang.
Dai Kasa was also in Chun'an at this time. According to military practice, arrested persons must undergo special examination before they can be reappointed. Breaking with convention, Dai immediately appointed Mao Sen as the commander of the southeast region of the Sino-AMERICAN Cooperation Institute, promoted from colonel to major general.
Mawson under house arrest
In early 1941, Mawson was ordered to come to Shanghai to form the Shanghai Operational Corps and serve as its captain. In the summer of 1942, he was arrested for betrayal by traitors.
Somehow, the Japanese and puppet authorities mistakenly thought that Mao Sen's status was very high, so he took a strange place, not only did not give him a bitter meal, but "treated him as a guest". Mao Sen said: "The Japanese estimated my status very high, and thought that I was placed under house arrest for preferential treatment, and Chongqing threw rats and rats, that is, they did not dare to act in Shanghai terror (that is, they took me as a hostage)." If you kill me, Chongqing will not send any more people, and public order will still not be maintained. ”
Mao Sen's wife, Hu Dezhen, who was also an agent of the military command, telegraphed this situation to Chongqing, and Dai Kasa instructed him when he learned of this: "As long as you can save your life, any request is acceptable." ”
So Mawson took the opportunity to tell the Japanese: "I am willing to do my best to help maintain law and order." But one person can't do anything, and he wants to give me the people he has captured, and at the same time resume contact with the lurkers; I have full authority to use, and you should not interfere. ”
In this regard, the Japanese pseudo "gladly accepted". Mao Sen said: "It just so happened that other operational units at that time were mostly destroyed by the enemy and puppets, and except for me, there were almost no guns or explosions in Shanghai; since I was arrested, Shanghai has been peaceful." ”
Seeing this, the Japanese mistakenly believed that Mao Sen really played a "positive role" in it, and felt that their "Huairou" policy was extremely useful. After that, whenever a "suspected" Chongqing "ground worker" was caught, He asked Mao Sen to assist in the interrogation to help "screen". The Shanghai Anti-Tuan case is one of them.
Cracked the "Rong Case" fame and fortune
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in August 1945, Mao Sen returned to Shanghai and made a fortune in the name of confiscating the property of the traitors.
A matter of fame and fortune awaited Mawson.
On the morning of April 258, 1946, Rong Desheng, a national capitalist and "king of cotton yarn and flour," was kidnapped by kidnappers on his way out.
After the news was reported, there was a lot of circulation in China and abroad, and public opinion was in an uproar. Chiang Kai-shek was also greatly angered, and Tang Enbo recommended that Mao Sen, who was then serving in the Wuxi First Appeasement District Headquarters, be in charge of solving the case.
Mawson rushed to Shanghai to deploy the case solving. At that time, Rong Desheng had been redeemed by his family for 500,000 US dollars, but Mao Sen did not stop there and was determined to arrest the main culprit.
One day, Huang Fulin, the former head of the Shanghai Action Corps, came to report that he had discovered that Wang Jintang, the lieutenant colonel of the Songhu Security Command, had recently suddenly become rich, and he often had US dollars in his pocket. Huang Fulin also said that Liu Ruibiao, a native of Shengxian County, Zhejiang Province, who had been working as a carpenter in Lin'an (near Hangzhou), had recently come to Shanghai to meet Wang Jintang and was also a prostitute in the area of Sima Road (present-day Fuzhou Road).
After Huang Fulin found out Liu Ruibiao's exact address in Lin'an, Mao Sen personally led several capable people to Hangzhou. They tricked Liu Ruibiao from Lin'an to Hangzhou on the grounds that they had a group of carpenters. Under the heavy sentence, Liu Ruibiao truthfully confessed everything. Mao Sen then carefully planned to capture the bandit leaders Luo Wenqing, Wang Shaoyin, Yuan Zhongshu, Wu Xiaokai, and Wu Zhigang, along with Liu Ruibiao and Wang Jintang, who had been captured earlier, for a total of 7 people.
To this end, Chiang Kai-shek rewarded Mao Sen with 50,000 US dollars, and Tang Enbo recommended Mao Sen for his meritorious service and awarded a Ford car. Rong Desheng also personally went to Mao's house to thank him, and gave a gold watch and a pair of gold pens, and Mao Sen received both fame and fortune.
On the eve of liberation, there was a frenzy of killing
The first impression of people who have met Mawson is: medium-sized, well-mannered, well-spoken, modest, quite like a Confucian literati. However, through the appearance, the other side of Mawson is a fierce personality. The two form a huge contrast.
Dai Kasa's personal secretary, Wang Shaoqian, had contacted Mao Sen many times and talked about such a thing. Mawson himself did not smoke alcohol or tobacco, nor did he allow others to smoke in his office. Once, when a subordinate violated his ban, he ordered the guards to search the man's pocket and 6 cigarettes. He ordered the man to soak the cigarette in boiling water and swallow it. "You like to eat tobacco, just eat it!" The characteristics of Mawson can be seen here. Some people changed his name to "Mao Bone Sensen" behind his back.
On the eve of Shanghai's occupation by the People's Liberation Army, Mao Sen served as the chief of the Shanghai Municipal Police, and went on a killing spree and executed the underground party by surprise.
On February 7, 1949, members of the "Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee" planned riots in Beijing (Nanjing) and Shanghai, and because the situation was not secret, Meng Shiheng, Wu Shiwen, Xiao Jiankui, Ma Junming and other 9 people were arrested, and on April 4, they were escorted to Shanghai and fell into the hands of Mao Sen. On May 9, Meng, Wu, and Xiao were executed at Song Jiaoren Park (also known as Zhabei Park).
Three days later ( May 12 ) , the Plathren launched a general offensive on the outskirts of Shanghai , with the rumble of artillery and clearly audible in the city. Mawson accelerated the execution process. He ordered 13 men from death row, including Chen Erjin, chief of staff of the Third Theater of Operations, and his wife, Zhang Manxia (an underground member of the Communist Party), who was 6 months pregnant with her fetus, and Mao Sen executed them together. Also executed by Mao Sen were Zhang Yaozhai , director of the shanghai municipal party committee's underground radio station (brother of Zhang Chengzong, secretary of the Shanghai municipal party committee); Jia Yunchao, plaster member of the People's Liberation Army's Beijing-Shanghai special commissioner; huang Peizhong, staff officer; Chen Yushan, liaison officer; and democrats Chen Tilu, Zhang Dasheng, and Zhu Datong. Most of the more than 500 people in the prison were executed by Mawson in different ways. Some were put into sacks and thrown into the Huangpu River, while others were buried alive in cells (such as Huang Yanpei's son). At the time of the Shanghai occupation, there were more than 500 people on death row, and only 28 survivors remained.
Offended Xiao Jiang and escaped from Taiwan
On the night of May 24, 1949, the People's Liberation Army launched a general offensive against Shanghai, and Mao Sen boarded the last warship at Wusongkou and retreated to Xiamen. Chiang Kai-shek appointed him lieutenant general commander of the Xiamen Garrison Command.
Soon Xiamen fell again. Mawson's family retreated to Taiwan. In July 1949, Chiang Kai-shek listened to Chiang Ching-kuo's advice and presided over a secret meeting in Kaohsiung, where he overhauled the secret service system, established a "Political Action Committee," and abolished the original military and central unification. Tang Zhong was the convener, Zhou Zhirou was the chairman of the committee, and the committee members included Chiang Ching-kuo, Zheng Jiemin, Mao Renfeng, Zhang Zhen, Ye Xiufeng, Mao Sen, Tao Yishan, and Peng Mengji. Former military commanders accounted for three of the "committees." Mao Renfeng was still complacent that day, but Mao Sen did not think so. Sure enough, only half a year later, the "committee" was replaced by the "Presidential Office Data Room", and Chiang Ching-kuo was appointed as the director, easily seizing the leadership of the secret service system.
Chiang Ching-kuo's second move was to ask Mao Renfeng to hand over the list of military commanders who were hidden on the mainland. Mao Renfeng was angry and anxious, and soon fell ill with lung cancer and died. Chiang Ching-kuo again forced Mao Sen to hand over the "guerrilla" relations in the southeast coastal area; the so-called "guerrillas" were purely fictitious, and Mao Sen was unable to give an account to Xiao Jiang, and his intercession with old Chiang was futile, so he had no choice but to flee Taiwan. He and his wife, Hu Dezhen, went to Hong Kong first, and Taiwan issued an arrest warrant. In 1958, Mawson had to flee to okinawa under U.S. occupation and live for 10 years before moving to the United States in 1968.
In June 1985, Mao Sen wrote to Zhou Banggong, a native of Jiangshan on the mainland, about the matter. He said that Mao Renfeng "was attacked by Chiang Ching-kuo, and I supported him from the side, so Chiang Kai-shek also made a bond with me"; he also said: "After retiring from Taiwan, because I was dissatisfied with Chiang Ching-kuo's actions, I left the country." This is the "truth" that Mawson himself said.
In May 1992, he flew to Shanghai with his wife Hu Dezhen and eldest son Mao Jianguang, visited relatives and friends, and returned to Jiangshan, Zhejiang Province, fulfilling his homesickness. After returning to the United States, he died in San Francisco in October of the same year.
