In 1952, in
War Criminals Management Center in Kunming, Yunnan
In the middle, a prisoner with an emaciated body, a sallow face and sunken eye sockets, had not rested for several days in a row, and the whole person's spirit was extremely weak, his face was bloodless, and he looked very frightening.
Because not long ago, the Yunnan Provincial High People's Court just issued a judgment on him:
The death penalty was imposed and the execution was carried out immediately.
Former site of the War Criminals Management Centre
In order to reduce his sentence, a war criminal in Yunnan province donated national treasures and cultural relics
They all say that it is better to die than to live. Therefore, this war criminal will be deeply in self-blame and remorse every night, unable to extricate himself, hating what he has done for so many years, otherwise he would not have become a prisoner of war criminals, and now he is sentenced to be shot, he really does not want to die.
Late that night, he was curled up in the corner of the prison shivering, his eyes were full of fear of death, and before long, he suddenly stomped his feet, stood up, and the scattered look in his eyes regathered, and he gritted his teeth and said firmly:
That's right, just do it. I finally don't have to die.
soon
The warden of the Kunming War Criminals Management Center
I received a message,
One war criminal said he could hand over a treasure to the state and make a meritorious deed, hoping to exempt him from the death penalty and let him live.
Kuomintang war criminals
After hearing this, the prison director did not dare to be idle, hurriedly interrogated the war criminal, and asked in a serious tone as soon as they met:
What kind of baby are you?
The war criminal pretended to be mysterious:
In my early years, I received it from a cultural relics dealer who spent 5,000 oceans, called the national treasure Dish Fang Zhen.
Prison Director, I am a good thing of the Shang Dynasty, and now I can donate to the country free of charge, but I don't know if this national treasure can be exchanged for a small life?
The warden felt that the matter was not trivial, and so on
I wrote a supplementary supporting document overnight
，
Report to superiors
, the result was unexpected but direct
It alarmed the leadership of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee
。
When they suddenly heard the news, they were also shocked and hurriedly dispatched
The cultural relics experts of the Provincial Museum personally went to the War Criminals Management Office to verify.
The police interrogate the prisoners
In this issue, the craftsman will circle a useful history, deciphering who this war criminal really is? What are the special statuses? Why does he have a national treasure-level cultural relic in his hand?
Became Peng Dehuai's direct superior
Zhou Pan,
Deputy Commander of the National Army Lieutenant General Corps
His ancestral home is Baoqing, Hunan, and he studied in his early years
Hebei Baoding Army Officer School Phase III and Army University
After graduation, he was assigned by the school to return to his hometown in Hunan and serve in the Xiang Army.
After Peng Dehuai joined the Hunan Xiang Army in March 1916, Zhou Panzheng served as the boss
Platoon leader of the Xiang Army
The position became
Mr. Peng's direct superior
The relationship between the two is very good.
Marshal Peng Dehuai
In 1924, at the first congress of the Kuomintang, Dr. Sun Yat-sen clearly stated that "
The United Russian Communist Party supports peasants and workers
"Three major policies, start
Reorganize the Kuomintang
thorough
The first in-depth cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was realized
He jointly established the Whampoa Military Academy and formed a revolutionary army
, jointly leading the revolutionary movement against imperialism and the feudalism of the Beiyang warlords,
History calls it the "Great Revolution."
With the active participation and hard work of the Communist Party of China, the "flame" of the Great Revolution quickly burned throughout the country. At the same time, the Chinese Communist Party also in 1925,
The 4th National Congress was presided over
Summarizing and summarizing the experience of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party,
A mass movement plan centered on the "masses of the people" was drawn up
。 And took the lead in setting an example, and successively launched
The May Thirtieth Movement and the Hong Kong Provincial Workers' Strike Revolutionary Movement
at
A mass revolutionary wave has been set off throughout the country
The Fourth Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Shanghai
It was also during this period that Zhou Pan shined in the Northern Expedition War, accompanied the army to the south and the northern war, and made countless achievements, so the speed of promotion was very fast, and he was already on the job in 1927
Commander of the 35th Army of the National Revolutionary Army
However, after Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei conspired to plot the great revolution and failed, Mr. Peng Dehuai adhered to the original revolutionary intention of anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism, and in 1928,
With the cooperation of his friends Huang Gongluo and Comrade Teng Daiyuan, he launched an uprising in Pingjiang, Hunan Province, and joined the Communist Party of China
During this period, President Peng also invited Zhou Pan, but Zhou Pan was determined to resolutely follow Chiang Kai-shek, stand against the people, and oppose our party. Since then, Peng Dehuai and Zhou Pan have been two people
They broke up completely and parted ways because of the difference in revolutionary beliefs.
Founding Marshal Peng Dehuai
Defeated and captured, he became a prisoner of the order
After the Pingjiang Uprising, Mr. Peng
Went up to Jinggang Mountain to meet Chairman Mao's victory division
, and Zhou Pan
He was entrusted with important duties by chiang kai-shek's Kuomintang government.
From 1928 onwards, it was changed
Independent Division Commander
After that, Zhou Pan's career was smooth sailing, and by 1932, it had been
Formally promoted to Major General
By the time of 1934, it was already
He sat down in the position of the high counselor of the headquarters
He also took up the post in 1936
He was the chief officer of the Kuomintang Central Military Academy in Wuhan, Hubei Province
, into the core leadership of the national army.
Zhou Pan
In 1937, the Japanese army launched
The Lugou Bridge Incident invaded China in an all-round way
After that, Zhou Panyin took a firm stand,
He repeatedly advised the united front and fought to the death with the Japanese army
And was highly valued by the senior leaders of the Kuomintang, and did not hesitate to be rewarded by high-ranking officials.
Appointed him to be
Huangpu Military Academy Wuhan Branch Student Captain, Education Director, Branch Deputy Director and other positions
。 In the winter of 1940, Zhou Pan officially became the official
Lieutenant General, Director of the 4th Review Group of the Kuomintang Military Commission
and 2 years later, became
Acting Director of the Second Branch of the Whampoa Central Military Academy.
Although he was unable to personally lead the troops into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions in the War of Resistance, Zhou Pan's achievements in the field of logistics and political work and united front work cannot be underestimated, and he has also made outstanding contributions to the cause of national independence and self-determination.

In 1945, the Japanese army surrendered unconditionally, and after 8 years of arduous resistance, Zhou Pan was defeated
Forced to retire
He returned to his hometown in Hunan in 1947
In the Shaoyang area of Hunan Province, the Self-Defense Corps was organized and established, serving as the deputy chief of the brigade
He often led the troops to attack the old revolutionary area of Shaoyang in Hunan
His hands were stained with the blood of the revolutionary volunteers and patriotic masses of our Party, and he committed numerous crimes.
In the autumn of 1948, Zhou Pan was reactivated by Chiang Kai-shek and took office in September
Deputy Commander of the 14th Corps of the National Revolutionary Army
, and in early February of the following year
He also served as commander of the 122nd Army
, can be described as a high weight.
But at this time,
The three major battles of the Shenliao, Pingjin and Huaihai Liberation Wars
It has come to an end completely, Chiang Kai-shek has lost his division and lost ground, and has been defeated again and again, and the reactionary government of the people of Nanjing is already at the end of the strong crossbow.
Chiang Kai-shek riding a horse
The main force on which Chiang Kai-shek relied for survival, waged a civil war, and maintained reactionary rule was basically annihilated by our army north of the Yangtze River, and was forced to flee to Taiwan. A million male divisions of our People's Liberation Army crossed the river south, and the decisive battle with the Nationalist army has become a given end.
From April 1949, Zhou Pan
He was transferred to the posts of deputy director of the Appeasement Office in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi Border Regions, as well as director of the command post in Changde, Hunan.
He was transferred in early November of the same year
Director of the office of the Xiang'e-Ganbian Appeasement Office in Kunming, Yunnan
。 Following Song Xilian's large army all the way to the southwest region of the great southwest, he was the most hostile to our army and vowed not to surrender.
Finally, in 1950, when Liu Deng's army turned thousands of miles to the southwest to liberate the whole territory of Yunnan, Zhou Pan was deeply surrounded by our army.
Ever since, all the time
He was detained at the War Criminals Management Center in Kunming, Yunnan Province, and participated in the ideological reform of labor
Commander of the Nationalist Corps Song Xilian
Sacrifice the national treasure cultural relics for life
In October of the same year, after the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China fled to Taiwan in response to the defeat of Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary clique,
Nearly 1.2 million reactionary enemy elements have secretly lurked throughout the country to carry out "key sabotage and assassination" activities
The Party and the state have made decisions to consolidate the victorious fruits of the newborn people's power and the urgent task of reviving and developing the national economy and scientific, technological, and industrial production:"
Resolutely suppress all reactionary activities and severely punish all reactionary elements that endanger the people
" Latest instructions.
Old photos of the town counter-movement
At the same time, the Party Central Committee also issued a message"
On the suppression of reactionary enemy forces and reactionary activities
"notification,
It is required that the party committees and organs at the provincial, municipal, county, and district levels throughout the country should comprehensively implement the policy of "suppression and leniency" and both soft and hard policies.
Reactionaries who have been arrested at present, and who are still at large and have not been arrested and brought to justice, on the basis of all the materials at their disposal, conduct careful research and give a certain degree of serious treatment according to the circumstances according to the priority of the crimes committed.
The notice materials of the Party Central Committee shall be issued from the date of issuance,
The State Council, the Supreme People's Court, and the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China
Immediately, in accordance with the supreme instructions of the central authorities, corresponding operational arrangements were made, and they were mighty
Town counter-movement
, and this is the beginning of the curtain.
In late February 1951, Chairman Mao, through the Party Central Committee, promulgated to the whole country the ""
The State punishes and suppresses reactionaries
"Regulations of Revolutionary Warfare.
For the counter-revolutionary movement of our town,
It has provided exclusive legal weapons and more specific sentencing standards, focusing on cracking down on bandits, landlord bullies, Kuomintang reactionary enemies, and criminal and evil forces that undermine social stability and unity.
The counterrevolutionary movement in New China town thus entered a new national upsurge
While strengthening the overall planning of the leadership of the party and the state, it is also active
Encourage the people of the whole country to report and expose. Strive to "hit the reactionaries, hit accurately, and hit hard"
In 1952,
Zhou Pan, former deputy commander of the Kuomintang Lieutenant General Corps
, in the town counter-movement, several crimes are punished at the same time,
He was sentenced to death by a court in accordance with the law and immediately executed by firing squad.
Zhou Pan was frightened, because he was greedy and afraid of death, so he took the initiative to propose to the prison director late one night:
I hope that by donating national treasures, I can get the opportunity to reduce my sins and leave a life
。 Unexpectedly, it directly alarmed the leaders of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, and specially sent cultural relics experts to participate in the appraisal.
This does not look at it, I am shocked to see it, because the cultural relics experts found that the cultural relics that Zhou Pan took the initiative to hand over were actually
Fang Wei, a national treasure stolen from Taoyuan, Hunan Province, is a complex bronze vessel dedicated to the nobility during the Yin Shang period, which is of great value and incalculable, and can be called a unique treasure.
National Treasure Plate Hokkoku
The death penalty was imposed and the execution was carried out immediately
It is reported that this national treasure vessel Fang Wei,
The earliest excavation dates back to 1919
It was dug up by a farmer named Ai Qingyan in Hunan.
Later, in April 1925, Zhou Pan was ordered
Garrisoned in Taoyuan County, Hunan Province
, one named
Shi Yuzhang's wealthy merchant
Through his own connections, he found Zhou Pan and proposed
Bid 50,000 silver dollars, hoping to borrow Zhou Pan's prestige status and help buy back the national treasure dish Fang Zhen.
If this matter is successful, then Shi Yuzhang will pay an additional 30,000 silver yuan as Zhou Pan's reward.
Although Zhou Pan was only a warrior, he was not a brave and unscrupulous person, and he immediately felt that this matter was not trivial.
Therefore, he did not directly reply to Shi Yuzhang in person, and after sending him away, Zhou Pan immediately rushed to Changde, Hunan Province, on Flying Horse, and found He Yaozu, the commander of the Xiang Army, and reported the matter in detail.
He Yaozu
However, He Yaozu was an insatiable villain, because he was eager for money, he immediately sent troops to the countryside of Hunan to search for the national treasure Fang Wei, but he returned to no avail. The military mobilized the masses, but did not gain anything.
A principal surnamed Zhong in Hunan was worried that Pifu was innocent and guilty, so on behalf of the villagers, he approached Zhou Pan and proposed:
You can take the initiative to hand over the national treasure to the national government, but I hope that the government can give certain financial support to students in Hunan Township.
After Zhou Pan received the National Treasure Dish Fang Wei, he was overjoyed and immediately took it out
5,000 silver dollars and 5,000 promissory notes
, to Principal Zhong. Then, Zhou Pan was
He took the national treasure as his own and did not hand it over
Zhou Pan's practice of secretly hiding national treasures is not only a loss of private morality, but also a total lack of national righteousness.
In 1926, Zhou Pan made outstanding military achievements in the Northern Expedition of the Great Revolution and was promoted
Commander of the Hunan Xiang Army
In one position, the military position has risen and the strength has soared, which has provided a very powerful guarantee for his personal possession of national treasures.
In 1949, after Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist reactionary clique was defeated in the three major battles of the Liberation War and was forced to flee to Taiwan, Zhou Pan was defeated
He was reinstated by the Kuomintang as deputy commander of the corps.
However, like a rootless duckweed, he could only flee to the southwest region with the commander of the corps, Song Xilian, in an attempt to rely on the unique geographical terrain advantages to reorganize the defense and resist stubbornly.
However, under the powerful offensive of our Liu Deng army, Zhou Pan was eventually deeply encircled by our army, so the martyred Kunming soldiers were defeated and captured.
Liu Deng's army made the enemy feel frightened
In 1952, New China was set off
The loud town counter-movement
, Zhou Pan is full of crimes,
I was so panicked that I took the initiative to write a copy
"Added Confessions"
Text Material:
He said that he could hand over a cultural relic he had obtained in his early years, the national treasure vessel Fang Wei, and at the same time took the initiative to explain the excavation of the national treasure dish Fang Wei, as well as the circulation of the pass, in order to make meritorious atonement for his sins, hoping that the new Chinese government could see his dedication to the treasure and spare him a small life.
This national treasure vessel is square, finally
It is permanently included in the Hunan Museum and has become the treasure of the town museum
The national treasure and cultural relics were lost and recovered, which would have been a very great credit.
The treasure of hunan town hall is square
However, because at that time, a huge anti-town movement was being carried out in China, coupled with Zhou Pan's special status and numerous crimes, and his practice of privately appropriating national treasures and cultural relics for himself was originally wrong.
Therefore, Zhou Pan will hand over such a heavy treasure to the country, finally
The opportunity for leniency with commutation of sentences has still not been obtained
At the public trial meeting, he was sentenced to death in accordance with the law and immediately executed by shooting, at the age of 59.
Perhaps for Zhou Pan, he took the initiative to hand over the national treasure cultural relics before his death
A rare whitewash of life
The behavior deserves to be affirmed, but he
The attitude of offering treasure only to save life is not worth advocating at all
The town counter-movement executed prisoners
Moreover, zhou Pan, once a high-ranking general of the Nationalist army, in order to get rich in order to rise to a higher rank and get rich during the revolutionary war years, caused incomparable harm to our party and our army, as well as to patriotic revolutionary volunteers and ordinary people, and it was difficult to overcome.
His crime is not exempt from a cultural relic at all, what do you think of this?
