The "Butcher" Expelled by Mao Zedong

author:Brother Zhang looks at history

Zhang Jingyao, a general of the Anhui clan of the Beiyang warlord and the "butcher" expelled by Mao Zedong during his studies in the Hunan First Division, was willing to act as a running dog of the Japanese army when the Japanese army invaded north China, jumped up and down with the support of the Japanese army, colluded with kuomintang military and political leaders who were not firm in their positions, and vainly planned the incident in a vain attempt to organize a puppet regime in north China that obeyed the orders of the Japanese Kou.

In 1933, the military command in the north was still very small, because at that time the north had long been controlled by Feng Yuxiang and other northern warlords, and when the Northern Expedition was successful, it fell into the hands of the Gui clan, and after the Central Plains War, it fell into the hands of Zhang Xueliang.

At this time, the "Beiping Station" set up by the military command in the north was quite weak, only the station commander Chen Gongshu led his subordinates Qi Nanpu, Yang Ying, Wang Yunsun, and Bai Shiwei, the only means of transportation was a bicycle, and the only pistol had only six bullets.

On the evening of May 4, 1933, Zheng Jiemin, the commissioner of the Beiping Station of the Military Command, found Wang Tianmu, the station chief of the Tianjin Station, and Chen Gongshu, the station chief of the Beiping Station, and issued them an order to sanction Zhang Jingyao, which was completed within a week' time limit.

After giving the order, Zheng Jiemin returned to his residence and sent a telegram to Dai Kasa, and although Wang Tianmu and Chen Gongshu were old-school agents, they suddenly received this urgent task and had no bottom in their hearts. According to Wang Tianmu's analysis, Zhang Jingyao is most likely hiding in two places, one is the Japanese embassy in the embassy district, and the other is the Six Kingdoms Hotel.

After judging, Wang Tianmu felt that Zhang Jingyao was most likely hiding in the Six Kingdoms Hotel, on the grounds that the embassy district, the great powers had extralegal power, here is an independent kingdom, inside is the matter of foreigners to decide, the Chinese government can not control.

In the embassy district, the Six Nations Hotel is the most luxurious hotel, the Six Nations Hotel is not very large, just a four-story small building, sitting south to the north, in and out to go up and down more than a dozen steps, the gate is a revolving door, the hotel business has been very good, alone, no other branch. Anyone who has some status and wants to protect themselves with extrajudicial power likes to live here.

Chen Gongshu and his subordinate Qi Nanpu found Dai Kasa's driver and asked Dai Kasa's driver to take them around the embassy area a few times to survey the terrain around the Six Kingdoms Hotel.

When Chen Gongshu and Qi Nanpu returned to their residence, they received news from Zheng Jiemin, and Zhang Jingyao stayed at the Six Kingdoms Hotel, asking them to find an opportunity to complete the task as soon as possible, and Chen Gongshu immediately told Wang Tianmu the news.

Knowing Zhang Jingyao's residence, Chen Wang and the two reassigned the task, the most important thing at the moment is to determine which room Zhang Jingyao lives in, but things are not as simple as they thought, Zhang Jingyao stayed at the Six Kingdoms Hotel without using his real name to register, and usually rarely came out, Wang Tianmu and others squatted for several days without news.

Until the fourth day, Wang Tianmu met the familiar suit shop owner and asked the suit shop owner what was he doing here? The owner of the suit shop said that Inspector Zhang made two sets of clothes and came to try them today.

Hearing this, Wang Tianmu immediately understood who The owner of the suit shop said that Zhang Guanfu was, so with the cooperation of the owner of the suit shop, he knew which room Zhang Jingyao lived in.

It was clear which room they lived in, and the next step was to formulate the steps of assassination, but there was also a difficult problem in front of them, that is, there was a shortage of weapons in their hands, several people only had a pistol and six bullets, and the chief of staff and aide-de-camp around Zhang Jingyao would rush over immediately when they heard the gunshots.

On May 7, 1933, several people came to the Six Nations Hotel, after investigation, found the room where Zhang Jingyao lived, three gunshots rang out, Zhang Jingyao fell, several people quickly left the Six Kingdoms Hotel, got into the car that had been prepared earlier, and left.

In the evening, Zheng Jiemin received news from the Beiping Army Branch that Zhang Jingyao had been seriously injured at 3 p.m. and died in a German hospital.
