After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the land of China, which had not been quiet for a short time, began to smoke again. Chiang Kai-shek led the Kuomintang reactionaries to launch a civil war, which plunged the Chinese people into the flames of war again. Chiang Kai-shek believed that as long as he had enough troops and advanced weapons, he could defeat the Communist Party and unify China.
To this end, Chiang Kai-shek cooperated closely with US imperialism, only to obtain armaments and material support from the United States. But in the end, Chiang Kai-shek went to failure. With the Communists fighting and winning the three major battles of Shenliao, Huaihai and Pingjin, Chiang Kai-shek was already doomed to failure.
Chiang Kai-shek was not defeated in military strength, and the dictatorship he practiced and his act of selling out national interests in order to safeguard his rights have long since lost the hearts of the people. Those who have lost the hearts of the people have lost the world.
The communist unification of China is both the desired goal of the people and the established outcome of that era. But Chiang Kai-shek did not realize where he had lost, and before he lost Taiwan, he still believed that his failure was caused by others.
In order to retaliate, Chiang Kai-shek deliberately ordered Mao Renfeng to assassinate 3 people for him before retreating to Taiwan. Rao was Mao Renfeng, who had always been fierce and fierce, and was the leader of Chiang Kai-shek's horse, but after seeing the assassination list, he was still frightened, and for a while he could not help but play a retreat.
So who were the 3 people that Chiang Kai-shek asked Mao Renfeng to assassinate? Why is It that Mao Renfeng, who is known as the "Four Secret Agents" along with Li Shiqun, Xu Enzeng, and Dai Kasa, was frightened by this assassination list?
The curator of this issue takes you to talk about this matter. Interested friends may wish to click on the following, so that it is convenient to review the past highlights, and will not miss the latest content.
Chivalrous Knife Rider: Yang Hucheng
Before Chiang Kai-shek's defeat in Taiwan, he ordered Mao Renfeng to assassinate, the first of whom was Yang Hucheng, a famous patriotic anti-Japanese general who had launched the Xi'an Incident.
Yang Hucheng's life is full of heroes and chivalry, he was born as a knifeman, after Yang Hucheng's father was hanged by the Qing government in 1908, Yang Hucheng forced a trolley to load his father's body and walked 200 miles to send his father back to his hometown. After that, Yang Hucheng organized a "Mid-Autumn Festival" in his hometown to fight the rich and help the poor, and his revolutionary aspirations were deeply buried in his blood from this time on.
After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising in 1911, Yang Hucheng resolutely joined the Shaanxi Nationalist Army to fight against the Qing army, aiming to overthrow feudal rule and rescue the precarious Chinese nation.
However, Yang Hucheng's revolutionary road was not smooth, and after Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the Xinhai Revolution and declared himself emperor, Yang Hucheng was forced to retire and return to his hometown. After that, he killed a local bully who ran rampant in the township, simply went up the mountain and fell into the grass, and gradually formed a force of more than a hundred people, becoming a famous local knifeman.
But Yang Hucheng never embarrassed the people, no matter where he was or what his identity was, his revolutionary blood had always remained hot.
In 1915, Yang Hucheng, who found an opportunity, joined the army again and actively blocked and attacked Yuan Shikai's army. In 1917, Yang Hucheng followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen in the War of Defending france, and with his own courage and military talent, Yang Hucheng shone on the battlefield, and soon rose to the rank of commander of the 3rd Route Army of the Jingguo Army.
Later, Yang Hucheng joined the Kuomintang and served as the commander of the 3rd Division of the 3rd Army of the Nationalist Army. But unlike most of the Kuomintang generals, Yang Hucheng was very supportive of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's "three major policies", he advocated the united communists, and has always maintained positive contacts with the Communists. This laid the groundwork for Yang Hucheng to later launch the Xi'an Incident and promote the united resistance of the whole nation to resist Japan.
But before that, Yang Hucheng had been in the darkness of the reactionary warlords for a long time.
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "Four. "Counter-revolutionary coup d'état, wanton hunting and killing of Communists." However, Yang Hucheng resolutely opposed the "qing dang" of his unit, on the one hand, for the sake of the great national righteousness, on the other hand, for the sake of his friends' morality.
In Yang Hucheng's view, the Communist Party is the contingent that is truly vigorously engaged in revolution. At the same time, there were many friends of Yang Hucheng in the Communist party ranks, and he was resolutely unwilling to hunt down and kill friends because of the difference between the party and the government. Even if Yang Hucheng's relationship with Chiang Kai-shek tends to break down because of this, he will not hesitate to stick to his beliefs and the chivalrous righteousness and morality in his heart.
In 1931 "Nine. After the outbreak of the 18th Incident, Yang Hucheng actively advocated the anti-Japanese resistance and opposed Chiang Kai-shek's policy of "taking care of the outside world before settling in the interior."
At this time, the Chinese nation was facing the threat of invading the Japanese army, and it was really the moment when the whole nation was in danger. However, as the leader of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek's first consideration was not to oppose the Japanese army, but to attack the Communist Party to maintain its dictatorship. How can such a person who can give up the great national righteousness for the sake of his own selfish interests lead China?
Yang Hucheng was very dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's actions. In order for the Kuomintang to unite with the Communist Party and realize the unity of the whole nation to resist Japan, Yang Hucheng, together with Zhang Xueliang, detained Chiang Kai-shek and launched the Xi'an Incident on December 12, 1936, and electrified the whole country with eight anti-Japanese national salvation ideas. After that, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to stop the civil war, the Kuomintang and the Communists achieved a second cooperation, and the situation in the War of Resistance Against Japan was reversed.
For the nation and in China, Yang Hucheng, who launched the Xi'an Incident and actively resisted Japan, is undoubtedly a hero of the ages.
But when it comes to the Xi'an incident, most people first think of Zhang Xueliang, and the second thinks of Yang Hucheng, and they don't know much about Yang Hucheng. In fact, Yang Hucheng is a national hero who is not inferior to Zhang Xueliang, and his life has an extremely strong chivalrous color. "The hero is the greatest, for the country and the people". Yang Hucheng's life is a perfect portrayal of these 8 words.
Unfortunately, Chiang Kai-shek, who had a narrow mind and could not tolerate people, could not understand Yang Hucheng's heroic chivalry at all. After the Xi'an Incident, Yang Hucheng was removed from his post by Chiang Kai-shek in January of the following year, and in June he was forced by Chiang Kai-shek to go abroad for "investigation" and traveled to Western countries.
Although being in a foreign land was not what Yang Hucheng wanted, he still maintained his revolutionary fighting spirit and actively propagated anti-Japanese ideas. Later, when the "July 7 Incident" broke out, Yang Hucheng, who was concerned about the safety of the nation, called Chiang Kai-shek many times and asked to return to China to resist Japan, but all of them were rejected by Chiang Kai-shek.
The country is suffering. When the news of the Japanese army's misdeeds on the land of China reached Yang Hucheng's ears, he sat in a difficult position and was bound to return to China to make a contribution to the cause of the national war of resistance. So Yang Hucheng ventured back to China at all costs, but when he first arrived at Home and had no time to rush to the front-line battlefield, he was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek, and this dilemma was 12 years.
The Xi'an Incident has already occurred, and the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China to resist Japan is the hope of the entire Chinese people, and this is not what Yang Hucheng alone wishes.
But even so, Chiang Kai-shek still wanted to capture Yang Hucheng. Although this has no other meaning than to make the anti-Japanese battlefield one less fierce general. Chiang Kai-shek's narrow-mindedness is visualized here, and just for the sake of meaningless revenge, he can ignore the great national righteousness. Even Chiang Kai-shek wanted to kill Yang Hucheng.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that once he killed Yang Hucheng, he would be accused by thousands of people, so he did not do anything for a long time. It was not until later that the defeat was decided, and on the eve of Chiang Kai-shek's defeat and escape to Taiwan, that he gave Mao Renfeng an order: Get rid of Yang Hucheng.
In fact, most people, including Mao Renfeng, are well aware that chiang kai-shek's killing of Yang Hucheng has no meaning, which cannot change his defeat, and the result will only make Chiang Kai-shek bear some more insults. But Mao Renfeng, as a subordinate of Chiang Kai-shek, could only follow the order and kill Yang Hucheng's family on September 6, 1949.
Mixed reputation: Zhang Xueliang
Compared with Yang Hucheng, Zhang Xueliang is undoubtedly lucky. As another hero of the Xi'an Incident, he was also on Chiang Kai-shek's assassination list, and he was the second person Chiang Kai-shek desperately wanted to get rid of.
Zhang Xueliang may not have Yang Hucheng's chivalry, but he can launch the Xi'an Incident from the standpoint of national righteousness, and he can also be called a patriotic general. In addition to launching the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang also did something that made him "famous": that is, he lost the three eastern provinces without firing a shot and a cannon.
In 1931 "Nine. After the outbreak of the 18th Incident, Yang Hucheng was actively advocating anti-Japanese resistance, but Zhang Xueliang responded to Chiang Kai-shek's "policy of non-resistance" and did nothing in the face of the Japanese army invading China.
After the fall of the three eastern provinces, the people of the whole country fell into great sorrow. The people accused Zhang Xueliang of sitting idly by while the Japanese invaded the northeast, humiliated the country and lost its territory, and abandoned his duties. The students asked the government to severely punish Zhang Xueliang and send troops to the army. From this point of view, Zhang Xueliang, like Chiang Kai-shek, is a national "sinner."
Once the three eastern provinces are occupied by the Japanese army, China will lose its land, not to mention, the Japanese army can still get a large number of supplies, resulting in the Future Anti-Japanese cause of the Chinese nation becoming more difficult. But fortunately, Zhang Xueliang did not make a mistake and went on to be wrong, and the enthusiasm for anti-Japanese national salvation in his heart had not yet completely cooled, prompting him to join forces with Yang Hucheng to launch the Xi'an Incident in 1936.
Zhang Xueliang was Chiang Kai-shek's brother-in-law, so he knew Chiang Kai-shek far better than Yang Hucheng, and he also knew that once he detained Chiang Kai-shek and forced him to join forces with the Communists to resist Japan, he would definitely be retaliated against by Chiang Kai-shek.
But Zhang Xueliang still did this, and in his later years he said bluntly: he was ready to die when he launched the Xi'an Incident. It can be seen that After waking up, Zhang Xueliang is also a boy with heroic integrity, and his fate was once precarious, almost ending up with the same ending as Yang Hucheng.
After the Xi'an Incident, Song Meiling personally promised Zhang Xueliang that as long as he could send Chiang Kai-shek back safely, then Song Meiling would certainly be able to ensure Zhang Xueliang's safety. However, as a result, as soon as Zhang Xueliang sent Chiang Kai-shek off the plane, Chiang Kai-shek sent someone to arrest Zhang Xueliang.
Chiang Kai-shek, who had always wanted to kill Zhang Xueliang, gave Mao Renfeng an order directly before he defeated Taiwan: assassinate Zhang Xueliang. However, Zhang Xueliang is relatively lucky, and he and Song Meiling have a relatively deep relationship.
Finally, under the protection of Soong Meiling, Chiang Kai-shek promised not to kill Zhang Xueliang, but he did not intend to release Zhang Xueliang, but imprisoned him, leaving Zhang Xueliang trapped in a small world for the rest of his life.
("Mother of the Nation": Song Qingling)
The third person Chiang Kai-shek ordered Mao Renfeng to assassinate was Soong Ching-ling, known as the "Mother of the Nation" and highly respected by the Chinese people. There are many identities of Soong Ching-ling: mrs. Sun Yat-sen, sister of Soong Mei-ling, pioneer of the Chinese female revolution, and so on.
Even Soong Ching Ling was revered as the "Mother of the Nation", and she served as the vice chairman of New China after the founding of New China, and later was awarded the title of Honorary President of New China. Whether in the Communist Party or the Kuomintang, at home or abroad, Soong Ching Ling had a high reputation.
After the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Soong Ching Ling inherited his legacy and devoted himself to changing China and hoping to save the chaotic Kuomintang.
However, the high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang fought for power, and no one respected Soong Ching-ling's name of "Lady Sun" anymore. In desperation, Soong Ching Ling had no choice but to devote himself to the Northern Expedition, hoping to fulfill Dr. Sun Yat-sen's last wish in his own way and build a better new China.
Song Qingling then became a pioneer of the Chinese women's revolution and joined the women's liberation movement. At her call, Chinese women have awakened, and they have shouldered the responsibility of the times and contributed their strength to the revolution.
In 1931 "Nine. After the outbreak of the 18 Incident, Soong Ching Ling issued a strong condemnation of Chiang Kai-shek's "policy of non-resistance." At this time, Soong Ching Ling was angry, because the Kuomintang, under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek, had already violated the ideas of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
When Chiang Kai-shek began to secretly arrest revolutionary volunteers and Communists who had joined the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Movement, Soong Ching Ling immediately used his lofty social prestige to organize a rescue operation and rescue a large number of revolutionary volunteers and Communists.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek, who was ashamed and angry, killed Soong Ching-ling for the first time, and even prepared an assassination plan against Soong Ching-ling.
However, at that time, Chiang Kai-shek did not have enough courage, because Soong Ching-ling had a very high prestige in the hearts of the chinese people, and Chiang Kai-shek knew that he could not withstand the anger of the people of the whole country, so he abandoned the plan to assassinate Soong Ching-ling.
Later, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, Song Qingling used her international influence to raise a large amount of funds, medicines and other important wartime resources for China's anti-Japanese cause. Moreover, Song Qingling sent most of these resources to Yan'an, making great contributions to the anti-Japanese cause of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese nation.
Song Qingling is a well-deserved national hero and a heroine among women, and she also deserves the honorific title of "Mother of the Nation".
However, the narrow-minded Chiang Kai-shek wanted to kill Soong Ching-ling, and wrote Soong Ching-ling's name into the assassination list and handed it to Mao Renfeng. When Mao Renfeng saw the three words of Song Qingling, he couldn't help but inhale a cool breath.
Perhaps Mao Renfeng gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to kill the other two people on the list: Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. But as for Song Qingling, Mao Renfeng resolutely did not dare to move. He was well aware of Song Qingling's position in the minds of the Chinese people, and whoever dared to kill her was a sinner for eternity.
In the end, Mao Renfeng, who was fierce and fierce, did not do anything to Song Qingling. Chiang Kai-shek, with the intervention of Soong Mei-ling, also had no choice but to abandon his plan to assassinate Soong Ching-ling and fled to Taiwan in ashes.
Unfortunately, Chiang Kai-shek had not yet understood by this time that his defeat was not because of the Xi'an Incident, not because of Soong Ching-ling, nor because of anyone. The fundamental reason for Chiang Kai-shek's failure was that his strength was too small and he did not have the ability to lead China.
