In 1961, Shen Drunk, former major general station chief of the Yunnan Station of the Secrecy Bureau and commander of the guerrilla command of lieutenant generals, together with Puyi, Du Yuming, Song Xilian, and Wang Yaowu, was arranged to serve as a commissioner of literature and history in the Literature and History Materials Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, with a monthly salary of one hundred yuan and a separate contribution fee -- according to Wang Yaowu's calculations, one hundred yuan in 1961 could buy a thousand catties of rice.
One hundred yuan is only the basic salary, and the manuscript fee of Shen Drunk and others was several times higher than the basic salary, so Shen Drunk's enthusiasm for creation was high, and he successively wrote a series of memoirs such as "Inside the Military Command", "The Inside Story of the Traitor", "My Secret Agent Career", "My Thirty Years", "Between People and Ghosts" and so on.
In his memoirs, Shen Drunk revealed his true intention to support Mao Renfeng in presiding over the Secrecy Bureau: I competed with Mao Renfeng for the throne of the bureau chief, and I had three trump cards in my hand to help him become the director, and I could replace him - when necessary, I could use assassination to get rid of it, and at that time, the throne of the director of the secret bureau was none other than me.
Readers who have read Shen Drunken's memoirs know that this person is very not simple, and his martial arts are also quite good, and when he is nearly eighty years old, he can still crush walnuts with his bare hands, and it is estimated that he will have to fight Lei Lei and Ma Zongda, and he can completely kill in a second.
Shen Drunk is a confidant of Dai Kasa, deputy director of the Military Command Bureau (the actual controller), and the relationship between Shen Drunk and Dai Kasa is better than that of Yu Lexing, who is brother-in-law and guide.
Dai Kasa's plane disappeared, and the military commanders and colonels were in a mess, but they only cried and mourned and did not search and rescue, only Shen Drunk took the initiative to ask Miao to parachute to look for it, and old Jiang was moved to give him special courtesy.
Years later, Shen Drunk still remembers that scene:
When Mao Renfeng and I saluted him, he actually sent us to the office door, and stared me closely into my eyes, reached out, and shook it very hard—something he had never done before.
(Shen Drunken's memoir "My Secret Agent Career", this article is in bold from the book)"
Before Shen Drunk had set off, the news of Dai Kasa's death had already arrived, and after Mao Renfeng, Zheng Jiemin, and Tang Zhong, the three giants of military command, pretended to cry a few times, they began to divide Up Dai's legacy, and Shen Drun, who was then the director of the Headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, was the chef who divided the cake: Zheng Jiemin asked for three houses, Tang Zhong asked for two cars, and the rest basically belonged to Mao Renfeng.
Zheng Jiemin, Tang Zhong, and Mao Renfeng were the three giants of the military command recognized by the small secret agents, and each of them was expected to take over Dai Kasa's scepter, but his ability was not even half of Dai Kasa's, so the life of the little secret agent was not good: under the suppression of Er Chen (Lifu, Guofu, also known as CC) and the Civil Engineering Department (headed by Chen Cheng), the Military Command Bureau was renamed the Secrecy Bureau, and a large number of personnel in the staff were transferred and diverted -- there was another reason for this, that is, these three guys who were expected to be the head of the authorities would only make money and would not make money, and lao Jiang's surplus grain was not much. So I thought about it day and night, and came up with a murder list, and in Chongqing alone, more than 5,000 professional agents were laid off.
Although the personnel have been drastically reduced and the funds are stretched thin, even the poorest temples have a rich abbot, so in order to compete for the position of director of the Secrecy Bureau, the large, medium, and small agents are divided into three factions: the "Jiangshan faction" headed by Mao Renfeng, which is basically Dai Kasa's henchmen and compatriots; the "Hunan faction" headed by Tang Zhong; and the "Guangdong faction" headed by Zheng Jiemin.
These people, linked by place of origin and interests, formed small groups of their own battles, elbowed each other and kicked each other' stumbling blocks, and made the Secret Service a miasma, and no longer had the same rules as when Dai Kasa was alive.
Because they were also from the Dai clan, Shen Drunk decided to wear a pair of pants with Mao Renfeng, the deputy director promoted by the chief secretary, and ostensibly maintained a good relationship with Zheng Jiemin and Tang Zhong.
Shen Drunken revealed his true thoughts in his memoirs:
"In the struggle between these three factions, I must cooperate closely with Mao Renfeng, first squeezing out Zheng Jiemin and Tang Zhong, and then competing with Mao Renfeng for high and low."
After the design drove away Zheng Jiemin (the author wrote about the detailed process some time ago, as funny as "Dancing with wolves"), Shen Drunk and Mao Renfeng sat face to face on the card game, and Shen Drunk showed his three trump cards in his memoirs.
Shen Drunk's first trump card is that he is deeply trusted by Old Jiang: Shen Drunk once served as a personal bodyguard for Old Jiang and Lady Song, plotted to assassinate Lady Sun and Li Zongren, and Old Jiang assigned Shen Drunk full responsibility (some of the process can be written, some can not be written). And Mao Renfeng was not a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy (he was admitted to the fourth term and was suspended due to illness) - in that era, if he was not a Whampoa graduate, he was not qualified to call Old Jiang "Principal" and could not enter the core circle.
Shen Drunk's second trump card is that he is older than Mao Renfeng--Mao Renfeng only joined the military command in 1936, and he has never been a section chief inside, nor a station chief, and the position of "chief secretary" has a "generation" for a long time.
Shen's third trump card is a "student soldier" like Yu Zecheng:
"I have served as instructors in many special training classes run in Linli special training classes and qianyang and other places, and many of these students are already middle-level cadres of the military command, and they have very good relations with me. Why can't I rely on students to squeeze out Mao Renfeng in the future? ”
Holding three trump cards in his hand, Shen Drunk was satisfied, and had already achieved initial success: In October 1946, lao Jiang approved the reorganization plan proposed by Zheng Jiemin and others to eliminate the weak and retain the strong, the Military Command Bureau officially closed its doors, the Secrecy Bureau was listed for business in a cry of mourning, and the original eight division chiefs of the Military Command Bureau were replaced by seven, and only Shen Drunk was reluctant to be dismissed by Zheng Jiemin and Tang Zhongmao Renfeng.
As the only remaining fruit among the eight old division chiefs, Shen Drunkenly went to be a circle of "robbers and collectors", and when he returned to the headquarters of the Secrecy Bureau with dozens of gold bars, a pocket of pearls, and two villa deeds, he was hit with a stick in the head: Mao Renfeng swallowed the drunken "Binhu Classmates Association".
Readers all know that when Dai Kasa was alive, he opened several special training classes, of which the Qingpu class and the Songjiang class only existed for one or two months, and the real talent was the Linli special training class -- "Wu Jingzhong," the director of the Tianjin station of the Secrecy Bureau that we are familiar with, served as an instructor of the Qingpu class, and its historical prototype is the political instructor of the second squadron of the first brigade of the Linli special training class (equivalent to a senior instructor).
Shen Drunk had served as an action instructor in the Linli special training class, so he formed the "Binhu Alumni Association" based on the students of the Linli class. Now Mao Renfeng tore off Shen Drunk's ace and did not panic, which made Shen Drunk feel a chill in his bones: "Did he spy on my ambition, and really wanted to make a preemptive attack?" ”
After banning the "Binhu Alumni Association", Mao Renfeng immediately played a set of combination punches: first to check the accounts of the General Affairs Office, and then to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, so that Shen Drunk took the initiative to ask to be released to be the provincial station chief.
When Shen drunkenly left the headquarters of the Secrecy Bureau, he first felt what the world was: none of his students, confidants, and brothers actually came to see him off, only a female major general Jiang Yiying, who usually did not have much contact, drove to come, but when the two people met, they could only show their eyes, and they could not say a word.
Shen Drunk was picked up by Mao Renfeng three times five divided by two, just like Jia Yucun in "Dream of the Red Chamber" to clean up the door: "Yucun was afraid that he would tell people about the current events of the day, so he was very unhappy in his heart; later, he found him one is not, far away from the charge." ”
Mao Renfeng knew better than anyone that Yunnan was already the most unsafe place at that time--Long Yun and Lu Han were secretly planning an uprising, and the major general-level agent went to Yunnan to become a station chief, that is, jumped into the fire pit.
What happened later, readers and princes all know: Mao Renfeng appointed two of Shen Drunk's subordinates and brothers as the chief and deputy governors of the Southwest Special Administrative Region, and Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao, who were originally only drunk and the horse, although they did not dare to give orders to Shen Drunk, but the stations in Yunnan Guizhou and other provinces were under the management of the Southwest Special Administrative Region, which was an indisputable fact, and Shen Drunk had no choice but to swallow his anger:
"After I received this notice, I immediately called Xu Yuanju, and in addition to congratulating him, I also said that I would definitely listen to his command and dispatch in the future, and Chen Shixian, the station chief of Guizhou, who was also the commander of the Guiyang garrison at that time, was also the eldest brother of the huangpu phase II, who had lectured in the special training class of the Honggong Ancestral Hall in the past, and was Xu Yuanju's teacher, and after receiving Mao Renfeng's notice, he did not pay any attention to it at all."
The bureau chief did not succeed, the old subordinate became the new boss, the drunken anger rushed straight to the top door, he wanted to take the last resort - poison mao Renfeng, then he could rely on the trust of old Jiang to return to the bureau headquarters:
"I decided to put a chronic seizure poison in his real food before he left, and as long as he ate it, it would have an attack half a month or a month later, and who would have thought that I would do it?"
In order to silently poison mao renfeng, Shen Drunk prepared two kinds of poisons, one package was imported from abroad, and the poisoned person would undoubtedly die after half a month, and it looked like a heart attack; the other package was a local medicine formulated by the locals, and the medical conditions at that time could not be tested at all.
In the battle for the throne of the bureau chief with Mao Renfeng, Shen Wasun can be described as a complete defeat, and when Mao Renfeng fled, he did not want to take him away at all, but gave him a false title of "Lieutenant General Guerrilla Commander" and let him stay in Kunming and wait for death:
"You can learn from Wang Zuo's deception, but you can't break your arm, and it will be of great use to keep it!"
The enraged Shen Drunk not only signed a telegram to Lu Han's Yunnan Uprising, not only ordering all the agents under the Yunnan Station to lay down their weapons and stop their activities and take the initiative to register, but also "left" Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao, who had come to "guide the work"—this was also the main reason why Zhou Yanghao wanted to kill Shen Drunk in the management of war criminals.
Shen Drunk wrote seven or eight memoirs, but he never wrote why he lost, and the author has been puzzled until one day when he watched the spy drama "Kite", in which a sentence by Mao Renfeng made people open up.
In the TV series "Kite", Mao Renfeng was tricked to death by "Devil Six" Zheng Yaoxian, and in desperation, he had to admit his incompetence and begged Zheng Yaoxian to help:
"My old Mao is just a Zhejiang native!"
A word awakened the dreamer: If Mao Renfeng was not from Jiangshan, Zhejiang, how could he become the secretary of the chief of the Military Command Bureau? If Zhu Jiahua, Chen Bray, Chen Cheng, Hu Zongnan, and Dai Jia were not from Zhejiang, how could they become the most trusted people of Old Jiang?
If you make a list of high-ranking zhejiang officials at that time, this manuscript cannot be written in ten thousand words, this is the iron law that the officialdom at that time could not be broken: in Shanxi, it was "to learn the five words, to carry a foreign knife", in Kaishen Logistics, in order to survive to the top level, in addition to being from Huangpu (including instructors and students), there is also a necessary condition, that is, Zhejiang nationality - Shen Drunk is a Hunan Xiangtan person, not a fellow villager with Lao Jiang, but has a Friendship with the people that Lao Jiang fears the most, the Secrecy Bureau is only two people left, and Lao Jiang will not let Shen Drunk be the head of the authorities.
Shen Drunken organs calculated everything, but forgot the most important point, that is, he is not from Zhejiang, the three trump cards in his hand, can not withstand Mao Renfeng's household registration book - this situation has been around for a long time, and I am afraid that the future can not be extinct, and from the failure of the battle for the throne of the director of Shen Drunk, we seem to be able to find something, as for how this point should be summed up, then there are readers of the world who have the wisdom of the benevolent and wise.
Shen Drunk is capable and ambitious, but after reading Shen Drunk's memoirs and related historical materials at that time, the author believes that the three trump cards in Shen Drunk's hand cannot help him sit on the position of director of the Secret Bureau, even if Mao Renfeng is poisoned by him, there are more qualified Kang Ze, Wen Qiang, Wu Jing (Jing), who will become Mao Renfeng's successor,
It is estimated that it is difficult for readers to give accurate answers, right?
