In the later stages of the War of Liberation, the Kuomintang army was completely defeated, and Chiang Kai-shek was unable to save the situation and retreat to Taiwan, but he was not willing to lose, and before leaving, he left a lot of agents on the mainland, waiting for the opportunity to move in an attempt to "make a comeback."
These Kuomintang agents went into hiding, colluded with local bandits and bullies, and undermined the nascent regime by assassinating party members and cadres and sending intelligence to Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan.
In order to stabilize the nascent political power and purify the social environment, after the founding of New China, it began a vigorous campaign to suppress counter-revolution, and a large number of counter-revolutionaries were picked up through the masses to report the government's punishment and other means, and basically eliminated the Kuomintang's remaining spies and counter-revolutionaries on the mainland.
In 1958, the public security organs in Guizhou Province received a report that a poor man was suspicious, and the public security organ staff immediately began to arrest the poor man. After investigation and interrogation, it was found that the identity of this peasant is not simple, he is a Kuomintang agent who has absconded for eight years, so who is this person?
From a second-generation official with a privileged family, he grew into a famous anti-Japanese general
His name is Zheng Yunxia, born in 1907 in Linchuan County, Jiangxi Province, a family of eunuchs, he came from a noble family with a superior family, his father Zheng Zongyao once studied in Japan, was a senior student at Tokyo Imperial University in Japan, was a member of the League and a follower of Sun Yat-sen, after returning from school, his father served in Sun Yat-sen's Grand Marshal's Office and became Sun Yat-sen's right hand.
Zheng Yunxia
Under the influence of such a family environment, Zheng Yunxia received a good education since childhood, and he was also talented and diligent, and successfully entered the Shanghai Law School to study law after adulthood, and after graduation, he was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy with excellent results and became the fourth batch of cadets of the Whampoa Military Academy.
At this time, Zheng Yunxia can be described as both literary and martial, and after the Northern Expedition began, he joined the Kuomintang team and began his military career.
Because he had studied and mastered the law at the Shanghai Law School, he was arranged by He Yingqin to serve as a captain judge in the First Military Military Justice Department.
With the two "golden signboards" of the Shanghai Law School and the Whampoa Military Academy, Zheng Yunxia at that time was simply a proud son of heaven in the Kuomintang army, becoming the object of contention among various departments, and soon stood out in the Kuomintang army, and was appreciated and favored by the top level of the Kuomintang, as if embarking on the "Road to Qingyun".
After 1933, he successively served as the legal commissioner of the Central Judicial Yuan of the National Government and the chief justice of the Military Law Enforcement DirectorAte.
On July 7, 1937, the Japanese army brazenly launched the Lugou Bridge Incident and began a full-scale invasion of China, and the Japanese invaders were raging wildly on the land of China, invading our territory, killing our compatriots, and insulting our sisters, and the entire Chinese nation was facing the crisis of national subjugation and extinction.
Lugou Bridge Incident
In order to save the nation from peril, countless sons and daughters of china rushed to the battlefield to bravely kill the enemy, and at this time, the two parties of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party also released their previous suspicions and ushered in the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
Zheng Yunxia, who was full of patriotic enthusiasm, also led his troops to the battlefield and made outstanding contributions to China's War of Resistance.
In 1938, the Battle of Taierzhuang began, at this time Zheng Yunxia was ordered to lead a political work team to support the front line, the Japanese army was near the city of Teng County, at this time the city of Fujian County was filled with gunfire, he led the political work team to hold the position, five times the River position snatched from the hands of the enemy, and finally waited for the arrival of reinforcements. It dealt a heavy blow to the fierce flames of the Japanese aggressors and greatly encouraged the confidence of the military and people of the whole country in upholding the victory of the War of Resistance.
Battle of Taierzhuang
Due to the needs of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zheng Yunxia was transferred to the rear by the kuomintang high-level, and he successively served as the director of the interview department of the World Daily, the editor-in-chief of the Autonomous Weekly, and the director of the National Trust News Agency of the Central Military Commission.
Later, he went to the Burma battlefield with the Chinese Expeditionary Force, where he fought bravely, led the troops to participate in the battle many times, made great contributions to the Chinese War of Resistance, and became a famous anti-Japanese general.
From an anti-Japanese celebrity admired by everyone, he was reduced to a kuomintang central unification agent
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zheng Yunxia was absorbed by the Central Command, became a spy under the Central Command, and began his career as a spy.
In 1946, he successively commanded and organized the "Cangbaitang Incident" and the "Bloody Case" in Chongqing, personally directed and injured Guo Moruo, Li Gongpu and others, and not only that, he also led secret agents to destroy the Xinhua Daily and arrested a number of Communist Party members and democratic revolutionaries.
Guo Moruo
Because Zheng Yunxia's anti-communist behavior was appreciated by the Kuomintang top brass, he embarked on the Qingyun Road, and soon he was promoted to the rank of major general of the Central Command. He originally thought that he would definitely soar in the future, but who knew that his high-ranking officials Houlu and his glory and wealth would disappear with the total rout of the Kuomintang army.
In the later stages of the Liberation War, with the end of the three major battles, the military strength of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party changed, which fundamentally changed the situation in China, the People's Liberation Army won victories one after another, and the Kuomintang army was gradually defeated.
With the total rout of the Kuomintang army, Chiang Kai-shek was powerless to reverse the defeat and could only lead the remnants of the Kuomintang army to retreat to Taiwan.
The emperor fled and began a life of exile
At that time, Zheng Yunxia's driver, Li Zengrong, was a red agent and an underground party member of the CCP who had infiltrated the enemy. With the liberation of the southwestern provinces by the People's Liberation Army, Chongqing, Chengdu and other cities were also liberated, and the Kuomintang soldiers stationed in the cities fled in all directions.
In December 1949, the underground party organization of the Communist Party of China ordered Li Zengrong to capture or kill Zheng Yunxia, a special agent of the Central Unification University, because Zheng Yunxia had too many soldiers around him in the process of fleeing from Chongqing to Chengdu, he had no chance to do anything but do tricks on the car in which Zheng Yunxia was riding, and then watched Zheng Yunxia escape in the car.
When Li Zengrong reported the situation to the comrade in charge of suppressing the bandits, the Chongqing Military Control Commission immediately contacted the Chengdu Military Control Commission and sent a telegram reminding the Chengdu Military Control Commission that it must pay attention to Zheng Yunxia, a special agent of the Central Unification Congress.
In the process of Zheng Yunxia fleeing to Chengdu by car, because the car was manipulated by the driver Li Zengrong, the car broke down on the way, and he could only go to Chengdu on foot.
However, at this time, with his professional qualities, he knew that if he entered Chengdu in a military uniform, it would be tantamount to throwing himself into the net.
Therefore, Zheng Yunxia immediately took off his military uniform, pretended to be a small businessman under the pseudonym "He Anping" and came to Chengdu to defect to Wang Yuanhu, who was related to him by marriage.
Wang Yuanhu had served as the commander of the Kuomintang Sichuan Army, and when he arrived at Wang Yuanhu's home, Wang Yuanhu's mother-in-law told him that Wang Yuanhu had revolted, and that Wang Yuanhu had accepted the reorganization of the People's Liberation Army and participated in the study.
Soon, Wang Yuanhu returned home, and after seeing Zheng Yunxia, he warmly entertained him and warmly let him stay at home, and after lunch, Wang Yuanhu left in a car.
At this time, Zheng Yunxia's heart was up and down, because Wang Yuanhu was a Newly Revolted Kuomintang army, and he thought that if Wang Yuanhu wanted to gain the trust of the Communist Party, he must make meritorious contributions.
Smell a lot
And the arrival of Zheng Yunxia at this time is not exactly the sheep into the tiger's mouth? He was very worried in his heart, afraid that Wang Yuanhu would betray himself in order to ask the Communist Party for merit and take his life to submit a petition. As the saying goes: Be careful to sail the Ship of Ten Thousand Years, in order to save his life, he decided not to quit.
Therefore, Zheng Yunxia found a reason to leave Wang Yuanhu's house, and then he found a remote small inn in the city to stay, in order to facilitate the investigation of the news, he went out every day to ask for some useful information.
One day, Zheng Yunxia was walking in an alley in Chengdu when someone tapped him on the shoulder. The move startled him into a cold sweat, and he didn't know who was behind him at this moment.
Therefore, he was highly vigilant and subconsciously pulled out the gun with his hand out of self-preservation, and as a result, his hand was held down by the other party to death.
When he was in a hurry, Zheng Yunxia fixed his eyes on the fact that this person was no one else but his old friend named You Shaowu, who had been a commissioner of the Central Bureau of Statistics and was also a person that the Communist Party wanted to arrest.
The two of them just wanted to reminisce, and when they looked around, they knew that the street was not a place to talk, so the two of them went to the hotel where he was staying.
Carefully You Shaowu, after checking that there was no abnormality around the room, he then plugged the door in, at this time he sighed and said: "Now that the Kuomintang has gone, we are like dogs that have lost our families, how is this good, where should we go now, do you know?" At present, many people from both the Central Unification and Military Unification Departments have turned themselves in to the Chengdu Military Control Commission and prayed for leniency. ”
Zheng Yunxia said: "What we did to the Communist Party at the beginning, others did not count in their hearts, we ourselves are not clear, if we go to turn ourselves in now, will the Communist Party give us leniency, if we go to surrender at this time, is it not to throw ourselves into the net and send us to death?" ”
Comparative mouth massacre
After hearing what Zheng Yunxia said, You Shaowu also said with a frustrated head: "Yes, I have been in the central unification for longer than you, if I really turn myself in, can the Communist Party let me go, or take a step and look at it."
After You Shaowu left, Zheng Yunxia had not slept all night, he tossed and turned and could not sleep, at this time he was carefully thinking about where he would go.
After careful consideration, Zheng Yunxia finally had a route goal, he thought: If you return to Taiwan now, it is impossible, now all the major airports are heavily guarded by the People's Liberation Army, but no place in the country is safe, at this time only sneaking out of the country is really safe, at this time only to go to Yunnan, through Yunnan to Burma, and when I first resisted Japan, I once led troops to go, and I was very familiar with the environment.
Anle Temple silver dollars were exchanged for yuan and were captured
After dawn, Zheng Yunxia hid his pistol and went to Anle Temple, the largest financial speculation market in Chengdu at the time, where he wanted to exchange 10 silver dollars for renminbi issued by the Communist Party at that time to facilitate the travel expenses in the future.
But who knows, Zheng Yunxia had just exchanged yuan from the hands of the traffickers, and suddenly the people and horses of the Chengdu Military Control Commission surrounded the Anle Temple market and snatched all the silver dollars exchanged privately, and also took them back to the shelter.
Due to his long-term involvement in secret service activities, Zheng Yunxia's mental quality is very good, and at this time, he calmly and calmly pulled out the identity certificate under the pseudonym "He Anping". From the staff's words and demeanor, he knew that he had not revealed his identity, but was only engaged in a campaign to combat financial speculation.
Although Zheng Yunxia's mental quality was very good, pretending to be indifferent, it also made him break out in a cold sweat. As a result, he lost some money, but compared with his life, he was very fortunate.
The Chengdu Military Control Commission only let Zheng Yunxia study for a few days before releasing him, which was a surprise to him.
After coming out, with his years of experience, he learned that Chengdu was not safe at this time, and he immediately left Chengdu to start the road of escape.
Ruyi's abacus failed and he lived a life of hiding in Tibet
Zheng Yunxia finally came to Yunnan with great hardships, but when he arrived at the border of Yunnan and Burma, he found that the border at this time was already guarded by the People's Liberation Army, and it was difficult to ascend to the sky if he wanted to leave the country, so his wishful thinking of fleeing from other countries was frustrated.
There was no way for Zheng Yunxia to continue to live a life of hiding in Tibet in The Country, in 1950, with the help of a former good friend, he successfully entered a vegetable factory in Fuling to help, although he did not earn much, but he was able to live a peaceful life there as a small worker.
However, the good times did not last long, and not long after, a civil war broke out on the Korean Peninsula, and the United Nations army formed by the Western powers led by the United States openly sent troops to blatantly interfere in the internal affairs of the DPRK and lead the war to the Sino-DPRK border.
Since New China had just been founded at this time and the regime was still unstable, the United States was not expected that China would send troops. Although the Chinese people loved peace, the Chinese people were never afraid of war, so they formed a volunteer army Chinese the people and rushed to the Korean battlefield to resist the United States and aid Korea to defend the country, and then the Chinese people's volunteer army crossed the Yalu River to the Korean battlefield with great vigor and vigor.
Chinese Volunteer Army crossed the Yalu River
In order to prepare strategic materials and ensure the supply of the front line, Zheng Yunxia's vegetable factory also began to be busy. As the war continued, on the Korean battlefield, the front line was tight and there was a shortage of materials.
In order to ensure the supply of materials, the Chinese Communist Party specially sent people to the vegetable press to supervise hygiene and supervise production.
Zheng Yunxia had originally come here to take refuge, but at this time he was afraid to meet the Communists, afraid of contacting them and exposing his identity.
In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, Zheng Yunxia immediately left the vegetable factory, and in order to save his life, he had to continue to flee.
This time, he learned the lessons of his previous escapes, and he set his sights on Guizhou Province, where "the sky is clear and the ground is flat."
After several tosses, Zheng Yunxia finally chose a remote town in Wuchuan County, Guizhou Province, which is remote, sparsely populated, and very hidden. He settled down in the town under the name "Liu Zhenggang" and usually shuttled between the streets as a trader.
Zheng Yunxia, who had received professional secret service training, quickly won the trust of the local residents and formed a warm small family here, living a sunrise and sunset-like life with his wife, not only that, he was also rated as a poor farmer by the local government.
Zheng Yunxia originally thought that he could live a simple and happy life in the future, but a happy life was always short-lived. With the passage of time, because the temperament he had cultivated after years of accumulation of knowledge, which had been subjected to higher education, could not be concealed, he seemed out of place in that ignorant and backward village.
His whereabouts were revealed, and he was eventually arrested and imprisoned
In 1957, because Zheng Yunxia performed well in the town and was sent to the county to study, he thought that he had been lurking for many years, so he did not pay too much attention to his speech and demeanor, but who knew that the good conversation he showed in the process of talking with the leader attracted the attention of the leader.
As a local parent official, the county leaders knew that most of the people in that town were illiterate, and almost no one had studied, but in the process of Zheng Yunxia's conversation, he could hear that he was not a local, and he was also a highly educated intellectual.
The more the county leader thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he sent someone to investigate Zheng Yunxia, and after investigation, he found that Zheng Yunxia did have many places that made people feel suspicious, so with the intuition of the county leader, he guessed that he was likely to be a lurking Kuomintang agent.
So the county leader immediately reported it to the public security department, and the public security department immediately arrested Zheng Yunxia after receiving the report.
Strangely, when the public security organs found Zheng Yunxia, he did not resist but obediently tied his hands and captured him.
During the interrogation, he confessed to his identity, but he refused to admit his crime, and it was not until the police took a photo of him burning the information taken by the ccp underground party that he truthfully confessed his crime.
After the trial, Zheng Yunxia was sentenced to 15 years in prison, and after the verdict was pronounced, he was detained in the Tenth Labor Reform Corps in Sichuan.
During his sentence, he was found to have a malignant tumor in his neck, and the prison leaders immediately sent him to the hospital for treatment, and after the treatment of doctors and the careful care of the prison, his body quickly recovered.
Reform yourself and become a new person
Zheng Yunxia, who had escaped from death, had now woken up from a big dream, and recalled that he was very ashamed of what the Communist Party and revolutionaries had done before, but now that the Communist Party had saved his life by revenge with virtue regardless of his previous suspicions, a sense of gratitude suddenly emerged, so he made up his mind to make a good transformation.
Later, Zheng Yunxia was transferred to the Huayingshan Coal Mine Coal Transport Station for reform, where he actively cooperated with the work of the prison leaders and consciously accepted the reform, because of his outstanding performance, he was praised by the prison leaders many times.
In 1975, due to Zheng Yunxia's active participation in reform, he was granted amnesty by Chairman Mao and finally regained his freedom.
Zheng Yunxia did not expect that he, a central unification agent with blood stained with blood, could now stand openly under the blue sky of new China, and he no longer had to live in hiding in Tibet.
After being released from prison, Zheng Yunxia returned to Wuchuan County and was arranged to work as a teacher in the second middle school of the county.
In 1981, the Wuchuan County Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was established, and Zheng Yunxia became a special invited person as a member of the CPPCC Committee and was clearly a resident member.
In the decades after his release from prison, he fully realized his mistakes, and in order to make up for them, he wanted to do something meaningful to the party and the people.
Based on his own talents and experiences, he has written many articles of historical value, not only that, he has also devoted himself to China's cross-strait reunification and exchanges and made his own contributions.
In 2009, Zheng Yunxia completed his life journey at home in Guizhou at the age of 102.
As the saying goes: knowing mistakes can be changed, and good is great. It is far more meaningful to persuade a person to reform himself than to end his life, just like Zheng Yunxia, after he was arrested, our party infected him with sincerity and made him reform. Therefore, he did a lot of things that were meaningful to the party and the people after he was released from prison.
