In 1924, the National Revolution was in full swing, the two parties of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China for the first time to work together, Dr. Sun Yat-sen had great foresight and regarded the education of talents as the foundation of the country, so in the southeast of Guangzhou, Huangpu Island, a famous military school came into being, that is, the Army Officer School, also known as the "Whampoa Military Academy".
When the news spread, many people with lofty ideals flocked to Guangzhou, all wanting to catch the first train of this school.
Zheng Jiemin, 27, is also among them.
In 1897, Zheng Jiemin was born in a shabby landlord family in QiongzhouFu, Guangdong Province, and was quite poor at an early age, experiencing the world at a young age, and promising a lofty ambition to save the world and save the country as a little adult. When he was in middle school, Zheng Jiemin secretly participated in the Nationalist Army organized by Sun Yat-sen, widely accepted the Kuomintang revolutionary ideas to save the country, and was later detected by the warlords, in order to avoid being arrested, Zheng Jiemin went to Malaysia alone, in his twenties, worked as an editor of the daily newspaper in Kuala Lumpur, and actively supported and promoted the ideas of the Kuomintang.
When he learned that Dr. Sun Yat-sen personally founded the Whampoa Military Academy, he could not bear to be full of joy, and soon got up and returned to China to prepare for the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy.
However, at that time, the Whampoa Military Academy had a limited number of places, and young talents throughout the country regarded it as an ivory tower, and its application situation was tantamount to thousands of troops crossing the single wooden bridge, and Zheng Jiemin, who had mediocre qualifications, was undoubtedly defeated.
But Zheng Jiemin was not discouraged, he turned to the local guard brigade as a student soldier, one to enhance his military quality, the other to continue to make up for homework, prepare for the second examination, sure enough, the kung fu did not pay off, Zheng Jiemin successfully passed the Huangpu Phase II enrollment and was admitted to the infantry department.
At the Whampoa Military Academy, Zheng Jiemin received the most advanced and excellent systematic education at that time.
In September of the following year, Zheng Jiemin graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and entered the China Labor University in Moscow, the Soviet Union, to study political economy.
Two years later, Zheng Jiemin returned to China after completing his studies, and the study experience of the two schools was enough to make his qualifications shine, and after returning to China, he was hired as a political instructor in the sixth general team of the Central Military Academy, and soon after, he was promoted to the secretary of the political department of the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
Zheng Jiemin is sincere, calm and agile, and quite talented, coupled with extraordinary qualifications, such a person is very suitable for the mixed career, although he was a fledgling at that time, but he had a unique political vision, he did not expect that one day, he could become a very popular subject, become a rare secret agent general of the military command.
At the beginning of 1928, Chiang Kai-shek was reinstated, and Zheng Jiemin relied on the contacts accumulated over the years to transfer to Chiang Kai-shek's side as an aide-de-camp, specializing in secret service work.
Zheng Jiemin had special respect for Chiang Kai-shek, and even many times, the dialogue with Chiang Kai-shek was very tense, so that often Emperor Zhang was at a loss, only promises, and Chiang Kai-shek did not have a good impression of him.
One day, Chiang Kai-shek looked at a military map, his brows tightened, the current situation was chaotic and unclear, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, and other military giants were already full-fledged and self-respecting, and once these people made trouble, his position as commander-in-chief would be difficult to protect.
How can this be good? Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a long time and finally came up with a countermeasure.
The emperors of successive dynasties, in the face of the situation of the division of the masses, will always respond with "cutting the domain", Chiang Kai-shek slapped his head, and his thoughts were finally as smooth as his head.
Jiang continued to stare at the map, who should he take to cut? This is a conundrum.
Just when Chiang Kai-shek was at a loss, Zheng Jiemin, who was standing nearby, quietly stepped forward and handed over a piece of information: "Bai Chongxi (then chief of staff of the National Revolutionary Army) was in the northern military parade, giving a speech, saying that since ancient times, the north has defeated the south; at the same time, their troops have been frequently mobilized. The students think that words are the voice of the heart, the white chief of staff must have a useful intention, and the teacher must not fail to prevent the first, and the enemy must be in the front. ”
Just a few words shocked Chiang Kai-shek's heart, he slowly turned around, looked at Zheng Jiemin, he began to feel that he had looked down on this humble student before.
Of course, Zheng Jiemin has always been a promise in the face of Chiang Kai-shek, and now this speech is still guided by Song Meiling, Song and him are considered to be fellow countrymen, a chance, after Zheng Jiemin was reprimanded by Chiang Kai-shek, he just happened to meet Song Meiling, Song talked to him, and by the way pointed out the mystery for him: "Doing things around the principal, relying only on diligence and caution is not enough, you must be able to share his worries, help him make up his mind, make a big plan, he knows that you are all loyal, it doesn't matter if you are wrong." The current situation is very tense, the local areas are divided, there are many governments, the principal is very distressed about these, if you can use more thought in these aspects and contribute a little valuable opinion, he will pay attention to it. ”
Zheng Jiemin is indeed a smart person, a little bit of thorough, Chiang Kai-shek has been helpless for many days, this day, Zheng Jiemin is also prepared.
Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zheng Jiemin and motioned for him to continue.
"The principal's concern is mainly because it has just been reunified at present, and if there is another war, he is worried that the people's resentment will boil over." Zheng Jiemin said in one sentence that Chiang Kai-shek's knot was broken, and then said, "But the long pain is not as good as the short pain, and now that the local forces have become larger and larger, it is difficult to escape the catastrophe if development is allowed, so instead of falling into passivity in the future, it is better to take the first step and seize the opportunity."
Zheng Jiemin's few words were enough to show his awareness of the overall situation and his strategic vision, and Chiang Kai-shek appreciated him more and more, saying: "Feng, Yan, and Li are not weak, and the central government is powerless to fight one enemy against three, and can only break down one by one, and this first opponent must be selected accurately." “
Zheng Jiemin continued: "The ancients Yun, 'long-distance close attack', Gui clan Li Zongren is close to the elbow, the greatest threat to us, but also the easiest to solve, can be used as the first target. ”
Chiang Kai-shek secretly drank in his heart, and Zheng Jiemin's words hit his heart, he tightened his brows, and asked with a calculated tone: "What should we pay attention to when we fight against the Gui clan?" “
Zheng Jiemin was already full of self-confidence at this time, and he said confidently: "If the battle is quick and the decision is made quickly, if it is delayed for too long, the authority of the central government will inevitably be swept away, and when the masses rise up together, the overall situation will be difficult to determine, and it will not end well." “
"But Li and Bai occupy the key points, the soldiers and horses are strong, the north and the south are in the same vein, and it is easy to talk about how easy it is to fight a quick battle and make a quick decision," Chiang Kai-shek said more and more in detail, and the topic became more and more in-depth, and has already touched the most difficult place.
Zheng Jiemin immediately said: "Fighting wisdom does not fight strength, the so-called 'soldier who yields without fighting'." According to the students' understanding, Li and Bai were unstable internally, and the generals were centrifuged and plotted against each other, which would surely enable them to avoid war and chaos. The student and Li Zongyi, the younger brother of Li Zongren, were classmates of Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow and had a close personal relationship. Shortly after I returned to China, he came to the book to invite him, and he could use this relationship to break into the Gui family. ”
I did not think that this Zheng Jiemin not only had a countermeasure earlier, but even took the initiative to ask for help, which made Chiang Kai-shek overjoyed, and then let Zheng Jiemin act according to the plan he had drawn up.
The opportunity to get ahead always had to be won by himself, and Zheng Jiemin's conversation with Chiang Kai-shek completely changed the trajectory of his life.
After several days of planning and arrangement, Zheng Jiemin transformed himself into a downcast student and went all the way to Wuhan to join his old classmate Li Zongyi at the headquarters of Li Zongren's Fourth Army.
Unsurprisingly, after Li Zongyi's introduction, Zheng Jiemin successfully entered the Gui clan.
With the care of Li Zongyi, Zheng Jiemin gained the trust of everyone. According to the plan, he needed to steal the codebook, which in any army, can be an absolute secret, once the codebook is leaked, in military combat, it can be said that it has completely lost the initiative.
To Zheng Jiemin's great delight, the codebook was kept by Li Zongyi, which undoubtedly saved him a lot of trouble.
One night, Zheng Jiemin asked Li Zongyi to drink, after three rounds of drinking, Li Zongyi vomited a lot of complaints, and then he became drunk, Zheng Jiemin seized the opportunity, took out the key from Li Zongyi's inner pocket, opened the office safe, and took pictures of the secret code one by one with a mini camera.
A few days later, the complete code of the Gui system was placed in front of Chiang Kai-shek's desk.
Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed and made a great contribution to Zheng Jiemin.
With the codebook, Chiang Kai-shek was like having a tailwind ear, and any deployment of the Gui clan could not escape his ear. Later, when the Chiang-Gui War broke out, Li Zongren's army was even led by the nose, and Chiang Kai-shek took advantage of enough opportunities.
Of course, just having a codebook can't ensure that it is foolproof, Zheng Jiemin mixed into the Gui family, and there is another step, that is, the reverse plan.
After Li Zongren conquered Hubei, he adopted the method of "ruling Hubei with Hubei" and reused the generals of E, and gradually, some of the E's generals, such as Hu Zongduo and Tao Jun, became more and more arrogant, and there was a gap with the old department of Guangxi, and even Li Zongyi did not pay attention to it, which made many Guangxi generals in the army particularly dissatisfied.
Zheng Jiemin added fuel to the fire and complained wildly in the army: "It is the Hubei people who get rich when officials get rich, and the Guangxi people who fight desperately."
The provocative meaning of this remark is too obvious, but after Zheng Jiemin has rendered it several times, he has indeed provoked many contradictions, and the generals in the army are already centrifugal and detached from Germany. Li Mingrui, commander of the First Division of the 7th Army, went so far as to directly defect and, under the inducement of Chiang Kai-shek's heavy profits, decided to oppose Gui and defect to Chiang Kai-shek.
After the outbreak of the Jiang Gui War in 1929, Li Zongren's troops were not at all resistant to fighting, and before Li Mingrui and other rebel generals did not fire a single shot, and then there were E-army troops who could not support it alone, and the Gui army front showed a trend of total collapse.
Helplessly, Li Zongren had to electrify the wilderness, and Chiang Kai-shek easily took Wuhan.
Chiang Kai-shek continued to swing his troops, and Zheng Jiemin made another plan, making Li Zongren's old department, which had already been annexed, the main force, and directly attacking the headquarters of the Gui Army.
Sure enough, the Gui forces were soon completely destroyed.
Chiang Kai-shek's long-term heart knot has been knotted, Zheng Jiemin is naturally the first hero, Chiang Kai-shek rewarded him with 1,000 US dollars.
Zheng Jiemin is also very good at things, and at this time, it is inevitable to earn another wave of performance. Zheng Jimin solemnly said: "Revolutionary soldiers fight for doctrine, not to get a bounty, everything jiemin does is a matter of duty, and it is still far from the requirements of the principal." ”
Not only did he push the check open, but he also pulled a notebook out of his pocket. It turned out that during the activities of the Gui Army, Chiang Kai-shek had sent him funds for the activities, and he remembered every expenditure clearly in the book. There is still a lot of balance, and Zheng Jiemin gave it to Chiang Kai-shek together.
Chiang Kai-shek was greatly moved, and thought that he had not looked at the wrong person. Now that Gui Province had just been annexed, Li Zongren's old department was not a peaceful person, so he appointed Zheng Jiemin as a member of the Guangxi government and concurrently served as the director of the Political Department of the Fifty-seventh Division, hoping that he would keep an eye on Gui Province and prevent trouble before it happened.
Although the official position is not large, but also can be regarded as Chiang Kai-shek's Chincha minister, Guangxi Province Chairman Yu Zuobai, and li Mingrui, who was previously attached, all have great respect for him, even if Zheng Jimin is more and more oblivious and arrogant, but Yu and Li also tolerate him for three points.
But Li Mingrui was a rough man with strong flesh and blood, and as time went on, it became more and more difficult to tolerate the set of Zheng Jiemin's former congratulations.
This Chiang Kai-shek was originally not at ease with Yu and Li, but because he had soldiers in his hands, he never dared to act arbitrarily.
But the idea of completely solving the two has always existed, and Yu and Li are also aware of this.
Zheng Jiemin is also very cunning, and he even secretly picks up the two people to re-pull the anti-flag, so that they can be solved together.
Yu and Li would not sit still, and they secretly contacted Deng Xiaoping and Zhang Yunyi through Yu Zuoyu (Yu Zuobai's younger brother and a member of the Communist Party of China) and expressed their willingness to join forces against Chiang Kai-shek.
At this time, Zheng Jiemin repeated his old tricks, and he began to win over Li Mingrui, hoping to use his hand to fight Yu Zuobai, and obtained a letter of appointment to tempt him with the position of chairman of the Guangxi provincial government and commander of the 15th Army.
When Deng Xiaoping found out, he said only one sentence: "Chiang Kai-shek has put down his sleeve again."
Li Mingrui immediately sobered up and followed the Communist Party, and the CCP forces then entered Guangxi on a large scale and established the revolutionary base area of the Left and Right Rivers, and the situation in Guangxi changed.
Zheng Jiemin never imagined that his combined skills with Chiang Kai-shek would actually push Li Mingrui to the Communist Party, and he did not expect that under his eyes, Yu and Li had already secretly communicated with the Communist Party.
Chiang Kai-shek asked him to stare at Gui Province, and there was no way to make a mistake.
Sure enough, after Chiang Kai-shek knew, Thunder was furious and scolded Zheng Jiemin for being blind and incompetent.
After returning to Nanjing, Zheng Jiemin sat on the "cold bench" for a long time, and thanks to Kang Ze's kind words in front of Chiang Kai-shek, he was sent to the staff of the Military Commission.
It was a "Qingshui Yamen", but Zheng Jiemin did not complain about the heavens, he had been Chiang Kai-shek's attendant, he was well aware of Chiang Kai-shek's temper, if he complained, I am afraid it would be difficult to turn over.
Therefore, Zheng Jiemin continued to study, politics, economy, military, culture, he was all involved in, and often inquired about Chiang Kai-shek's recent situation, there was a pattern of "being far away from the rivers and lakes and worrying about his king".
Sure enough, after Chiang Kai-shek's anger subsided, he was quite satisfied with Zheng Jiemin's performance. Just when the Revival Society (the predecessor of the military unification) was being prepared, Zheng Jiemin also submitted the registration form, so Chiang Kai-shek used him as the deputy director of the secret service, and Dai Kasa was appointed as the director.
After a brief hibernation, Jeong Jie-min took office. This time to be a partner with Dai Kasa, which can make him a little unhappy, fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek has an explanation, let him be at ease as a deputy, there is a chance to find another job, so Zheng Jiemin also has no intention of official business in the military command, the secret service within the personnel, funds, internal affairs, administration and other aspects of Dai Kasa issued orders, he was happy to be a hand-throwing uncle, too lazy to worry.
Zheng Jiemin is an unintentional secret agent, he has always considered himself a soldier on the battlefield, seeing that many Huangpu classmates are now military commanders, division commanders, leading the troops, the mighty, the idea of breaking away from military command is becoming more and more urgent.
Zheng Jiemin repeatedly looked for a way out, asking people to lobby Chiang Kai-shek, hoping to let him fight in the army. But Chiang Kai-shek did not allow it, and was convinced that Zheng Jiemin's talent was in the secret agent.
This made Zheng Jiemin extremely angry, simply ignoring the military command and letting Dai Kasa toss it.
And Dai Kasa, of course, did not want Zheng Jiemin to leave the military command, he had originally aroused Chiang Kai-shek's suspicions because of the cultivation of forces to establish the "Dai Dynasty", if Zheng Jiemin left again, would not it be a solid statement that he cultivated forces.
So Dai Kasa found Chiang Kai-shek and asked Chiang Kai-shek to promote him to an official rank on the grounds that Zheng Jiemin's position was below him. Chiang Kai-shek also had a plan, so Zheng Jiemin became the deputy director of the Second Department of the Military Commission, and the rank of lieutenant general was reached.
At that time, Dai Kasa was only a major general, but he didn't care, he only cared about real power.
Later, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, Zheng Jiemin, as an informal representative, went to Nanyang with Du Yuming to participate in the Allied military conference and formulate a plan to defend Singapore, and wei Fei, commander-in-chief of the Southwest Pacific Allied Forces, praised him as an "outstanding military prophet".
Many US military advisers in China have also held discussions with Zheng Jiemin on many occasions, talking about the trend of the world battlefield.
In front of Chiang Kai-shek, Wei Demai, commander-in-chief of the US military in China, praised Zheng Jiemin: "Your General Zheng has a very strategic vision, and talents like this will receive considerable attention in the United States." ”
Receiving the attention and praise of the Allied forces, Chiang Kai-shek naturally felt that his face was related, and more than once praised Zheng Jiemin in public, and most of the things that appeared in public were entrusted to him.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in addition to the contest between the Kuomintang and the Communists on the battlefield, the negotiating table was also a tit-for-tat confrontation, and Chiang Kai-shek also circled Zheng Jiemin as a representative of the Kuomintang side of the Beiping Office of the Military Investigation Office and fought a war of words with the Communists.
However, although Zheng Jiemin is good at dancing with long sleeves, can speak eloquently, and can talk on many occasions, he is powerless at the negotiating table with the Communist Party. Zheng Jiemin is also very angry in his heart, the communists are too difficult to deal with, as if they are all born diplomats, the struggle is reasonable and disciplined, there are tensions and relaxations, and they always let their own side be passive.
Zheng Jiemin had no intention of military unification, but he did not expect that he would soon sit on the first chair of military unification.
In February 1946, Dai Kasa was killed, the Military Command Bureau was leaderless, and Zheng Jiemin was naturally ordered to take over Dai Kasa's class. Soon, the military command was transformed into the Secrecy Bureau, and Zheng Jiemin became the first director of the Secrecy Bureau.
Zheng Jiemin was also lucky, and soon after taking office, he inadvertently cracked the underground organization of the Communist Party of China in Beiping, and Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed and promoted him to vice minister of national defense. Despite this, he still did not sit firmly in the position of bureau chief, and the always humble Mao Renfeng used his wife's corruption and wealth to squeeze him out.
Soon, the Kuomintang withdrew to the south in an all-round way, Chiang's father and son passed on, and after Chiang Ching-kuo took over, he had long been displeased with the older generation of military unification and central unification, and he was eager to support his own forces.
After Zheng Jiemin was reused, the spearhead naturally pointed directly at Mao Renfeng, directly taking away most of his rights.
After surviving the death of Mao Renfeng, Zheng Jiemin also began to decline. His relations with the United States have always been harmonious, but Chiang Kai-shek's relations with the United States have not been so stable.
Let Zheng Jiemin lose his life, is a person who befriends Huang Yanghui.
This person is the object of Chiang's wanted, and he has privately established a "Republican Party" and claimed that Republican members can participate in the election of US congressmen. How can Jiang endure?
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Zheng Jiemin to arrest him and bring him to justice.
Zheng Jiemin was fierce, and Huang Yanghui was soon imprisoned, but Zheng Jiemin still underestimated Huang's relationship with the Americans, and within a few days of going to prison, the Americans came to visit the prison, but the visit was false, and saving people was true.
Huang Yanghui was inside the prison and inexplicably disappeared.
When Chiang Kai-shek found out, he was furious, and he began to suspect that Zheng Jiemin had colluded with the Americans to play a play of "catching and releasing Cao", and Zheng Jiemin was powerless to defend himself, but he did not dare to take off this hat, so he made a promise to solve the case in three days.
But things are far from so simple, three days have passed, Zheng Jiemin has no clue, not that he can't find out, but even if he finds out, the Americans want to protect Huang Yanghui, he can do anything to him, rush to act, the Americans will attack, Chiang Kai-shek will still punish him.
In the dilemma, Zheng Jiemin is already riding a tiger.
On December 11, 1959, the 22nd day of Huang Yanghui's disappearance, Zheng Jiemin died of a heart attack at home.
This time node is very strange, causing many speculations, whether it is another hidden affair, whether it is an accident, or the suicide certificate is innocent, it does not matter, a military man with quite wisdom and vision has gone through his life.
After Zheng Jiemin's death, Chiang Kai-shek felt sorry and went to the funeral home twice to participate in Zheng Jiemin's mourning activities, and issued a commendation order, posthumously awarding Zheng Jiemin as a first-class army general.
General of the First Class. That was the glory that Zheng Jiemin had dreamed of before.
