Regarding Dai Kasa in the Kuomintang, those who have studied modern history must have heard his name. Dai Kasa was a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, and he was in charge of this part of the work of the secret agents for Chiang Kai-shek, and because the two were fellow villagers, Dai Kasa had been highly valued since he became acquainted with Chiang Kai-shek.
But dai's historical evaluations have always been diverse, with some calling him a "political killer" and others calling him a "prodigious genius" in speculative circles. But the most curious thing about Dai Kasa is his mystery, and his other title is "the most mysterious person in modern Chinese history."
The mysterious man's house is also quite mysterious, his former house is on an inconspicuous street in Baoan Town, the exterior of the house is an ordinary style, and anyone who passes by in front of the door cannot guess that this is the home of the famous Kuomintang leader Dai Kasa.
The outside of this house looks ordinary, but inside it is very clean, and what is behind the red tiles of this white wall is what Dai Kasa really wants to hide.
Dai Kasa's identity was special, and his work was inseparable from things such as secret agents and spies, so there were many people who wanted Dai Kasa's life at that time and dai Kasa wanted to kill.
It is said that the three caves of the cunning rabbit, Dai Kasa is a cautious person, he set up his home with many mechanisms, convenient for him to escape or hide in a critical moment, this house has eighty-seven doors, escape tunnels are all over the corners, not a big house, has become an intricate labyrinth.
But in these escape passages, there was a place that only he knew, And Dai Kasa was meticulous, sometimes forgetting to keep a few eyes on his family.
1 House 87 Doors: Dai Kasa and his former residence
After Dai Kasa's departure, he spent a lot of money to build a secret mansion in Baoan Township, and Dai Kasa was born in Baoan Township, Jiangshan City, Zhejiang Province, so he also built the house here. Built in 1943, the design drawings were designed by Dai Kasa himself, and both the construction and arrangement were so exquisite that it was surprising that he could conceive so skillfully.
At that time, because Dai Kasa was too busy with government affairs to supervise, the supervision of the house was carried out by Dai Kasa's younger brother
Dai Chunbang
Served.
The residence covers an area of about 1,000 square meters, is a courtyard facing west and east, and the exterior of the house is the same as the ordinary Jiangnan residence, even more simple than them. The exterior walls are snow-white walls and black brick tiles, and the inside is made of red columns as load-bearing.
Dai Kasa worked for Chiang Kai-shek for many years, so he took his wife, son and mother to live in the house, in addition to all his immediate family members were also arranged into the house, it can be seen that the importance of this house to Dai Kasa is self-evident, Dai Kasa every time he goes home, he has to get off the car and walk when he is almost home, and then kneel down to greet his mother to ask for peace.
After entering this house, it is facing the lobby, which is called "Shude Hall", and these three words are Dai Kasa.
Dai Kasa's evaluation in the outside world is mostly negative evaluation, and a large number of stories are also about how Dai Kasa relied on unruly means to seek power for himself, Dai Kasa's character is extremely poor, but in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, he is indeed a talent, and Chiang Kai-shek has also bluntly said that if Dai Kasa does not die, he will not lose the mainland.
Don't look at Dai Kasa's high authority, but in fact, he was stubborn from childhood, until he grew up, he was also a person with a lot of thoughts, relying on speculation and small ingenuity to achieve today's achievements.
"Shude" means to cultivate virtue, and probably Dai Kasa hopes that future generations will not follow his old path.
Hanging in the center of the lobby is a plaque inscribed with the words "Shude Hall", which was also inscribed by Dai Kasa himself. Dai Kasa didn't go to school, and there was nothing remarkable about this font, but in general it was decent.
When he was a child, Dai Kasa did not like to study, like a little, but even so he could still pass the first exam, and he was also admitted to a normal school, if it were not for his personality, presumably with his talent, there would be some achievements in other places.
There is also a standard portrait of Dai Kasa in the lobby, which is one of the few photos in his life, dai Kasa has been engaged in secret service work, training spies for Chiang Kai-shek, these spies in addition to obtaining intelligence, but also for Chiang Kai-shek to eliminate dissidents, although the work is heavy.
But the dangers were fraught, and in order to protect his identity and live safely, Dai Kasa almost never took official photos.
Dai Kasa was killed in a plane crash in 1946, and it took a lot of effort to find this photo, which became the only standard bust of Dai Kasa. Although Dai Kasa mixed well before he died, it was inevitable that the method of death was a bit sloppy.
After the lobby with the photo of Dai Kasa, you can look up and see that there is a square skylight directly above the house, the lighting is excellent, so the lobby is very bright, and the black window ledges upstairs are also arranged in a square, and the overall look is very neat and beautiful.
The numerous rooms on the second floor, each separated by wooden planks, and with at least two or three windows, are designed to facilitate escape.
There are cabinets in the study and living room, and ordinary people probably don't think much about it, but in fact, these two cabinets are dark doors, connecting the entrance to the dark passage, and they are also prepared for escape.
Some people may wonder why Dai Kasa is so afraid of death, this is because Dai Kasa is very cautious, and his caution is not unreasonable, he was working for Chiang Kai-shek at that time, and often cracked intelligence, which made countless enemies for Dai Kasa. But the greatest danger besides this was Chiang Kai-shek.
In the later period, Dai Kasa's organization became larger and larger, managing more than tens of thousands of agents, distributed in many countries, especially in Southeast Asia, and the amount of money consumed by such a large secret service organization was also huge, and Dai Kasa obtained money through smuggling to support this organization. Dai's vast network of secret agents soon attracted Chiang Kai-shek's attention.
Since 1942, Chiang Kai-shek has been wary of Dai Kasa, and the power and status in Dai Kasa's hands have long exceeded Chiang Kai-shek's reassurance.
Chiang Kai-shek's most taboo thing is that his men use private individuals, self-contained systems and corruption, and these two points are occupied by Dai Kasa. Dai Kasa was naturally afraid of Chiang Kai-shek, and even more afraid that these work matters would endanger his family, so he had this labyrinth-like house, just to save his life.
The foregoing mention is only some fur, and the most mysterious place of Dai Kasa's former residence is his "front high and back low", that is, the first two floors and the last three floors. This architectural design is conducive to concealing some of the important structures and facilities in the room, and is also used in the design of today's villas.
There are indeed some hidden things hidden here in the Dai mansion, and in the lowest room, Dai Kasa installed a military transmitter here, but this was not what Dai Kasa used to send information. Since it had been done so far to make this family safe, how could Dai Kasa do such a stupid thing?
This transmitter was only placed by Dai Kasa for the convenience of contact with his mother. From returning home to bowing to the military transmitter, Dai Kasa was very filial to his mother.
Of course, this transmitter will also be used to understand the local situation, although there is not much information, but Dai Kasa will also care about the political and military trends of his family's city. It is said that there are two sentries outside the room of this transmitter, and there is a dark sentry inside the door, and outsiders do not want to take a step closer, and the security is extremely tight.
After entering the house, you can see the actual main body of the house, which is a three-story building, and there is also a dark room on the lowest floor of the main body.
There are two stairs in the house, one bright and one dark, the bright ladder is in front, the dark ladder is in the back, the dark ladder is a spiral ladder, which can only accommodate one person, and it also needs to be sideways to enter, but this passage is only known by Dai Kasa, he is set behind the closet is very hidden, such a spiral staircase is actually very beneficial, easy to hide, but also to prevent being targeted and shot by the enemy in a critical moment.
It was only because Dai Kasa did not return home for many years, and after it was built, this dark ladder was not used, so it was gradually forgotten.
In this house, which covers an area of more than 300 square meters, according to statistics, there are 87 doors of different sizes, which are different, some are as high as the beams, in order to remove important objects when escaping, there are also very narrow doors, only enough for one person to enter and exit.
This narrow door is also for safety and prevents people from seeing through the situation before and after. Other doors are very low and can only be bent over to enter, in order to prevent the pursuit of soldiers. These special doors do not open on weekdays to prevent confusion.
There are two doors in each room of the Dai mansion, which are also one light and one dark, the open door is used as a daily door to see, and the dark door is hidden behind the bed or on the edge of the screen.
These designs alone are already dazzling, but they are just the tip of the iceberg. Dai Kasa also set up a special dark ladder in the last three floors, and the structure of this dark ladder is even more amazing. The idea of this design is from a safety point of view, which is convenient for quickly getting out in a dangerous moment, and Dai Kasa has worked hard in this regard.
If there is no one familiar with the room to lead the way, it is easy to get lost in it. The doors between each room are low, and there are also dark cells on the doors to place weapons, so that in the event of an accident, agents can quickly take out their weapons and counterattack.
In order to prevent accidents, Dai Kasa also installed a dark room between the living room walls, which was very small enough for one person to stand and store guns alone. Both attack and defense, easy to advance and retreat, suitable for escape, hiding. This kind of secret room has no space after it is closed on weekdays.
The last three floors of Dai Kasa's secret house are basically rooms used to discuss important matters, as well as the bedroom and living room where Dai Kasa rests every day.
In the bedroom, two small rooms of less than 20 square meters, in addition to some ordinary furniture, the most conspicuous is a landscape map hanging on the wooden plank wall. Lifting the drawing and pulling open a secret door strip on the plank, a circular staircase suddenly appeared in front of me, and there was a small space on the edge of the stairway.
It is said that while Dai Kasa was talking to people outside, a heavily armed soldier stood in an empty room behind the chalkboard. Through the small holes in the blackboard, the guards monitored every move of every character in the room.
I don't know how many powerful people are being pointed at the muzzle of the black hole hole when they talk and laugh in front of Dai Kasa, and such a "killing machine" arrangement will inevitably make people's backs chill.
In the event of danger, the agents would also cover Dai Kasa's entry into this secret passage, walk from the second floor to the first floor, and then escape through the gate.
In this hidden ladder and dark room, the complex characteristics of Dai Kasa's secret service career are revealed. Dai Kasa's heart had long been affected by this perennial experience, so cunning and suspicious that it was difficult to find someone like him except him.
On the second floor, in the house of Dai Kasa's mother, there is a strange makeup mirror.
The villagers all know that Dai Kasa is a filial piety and is very filial to his mother. So he deliberately imported this expensive makeup mirror from abroad, and when his mother combed her hair and powdered, no matter what angle she looked in the mirror, the portrait would not be deformed.
But the truth is that this mirror was installed to use special reflections to secretly observe the entire room.
In addition, on the first floor of the residence, the windows are deliberately installed not much, so that people can hide, on the second floor, each room is installed with a lot of windows, and from the windows in addition to looking around, you can also directly observe the only avenue in the distance that can lead to the security village, as soon as the avenue is abnormal, Dai Kasa will win time and then escape from the path.
In the courtyard of Dai's former residence, we saw a tall and majestic plant
Money Pine
。 This pine was formerly the deputy director of the Sino-US Institute of Technical Cooperation
U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Melles
Brought from the United States, When Meles visited Dai Kasa's hometown, he personally planted it for Dai Kasa as a gift.
Originally, Meles sent two money pines, and Dai Kasa had a variety of one, symbolizing the cooperative relationship between Dai Kasa and the United States, no, in the later days, money pine somehow died one plant.
Dai Kasa's former residence, a secret house hidden in the countryside, reflects the sad fate of such figures as Dai Kasa from its Taoist organs. He designed his house to be such an "escape cemetery", but it also shows how crazy the struggle in his inner world has become. The wind and clouds have changed, everything has become a thing of the past, and the door of the ancient mansion only leaves Zhang Shizhao's handwritten link for Dai Kasa
The reputation of the world, the slander of the world, and the chaotic spring and autumn events of the world are left for future generations to comment.
summary
From the intricate old mansion of Dai Kasa, we seem to be able to glimpse part of Dai Kasa's life. Dai Kasa has been doing careless and glorious work, killing countless people, and these evils have brought him such a careful and meticulous life.
Dai Kasa is a complex and diverse negative character, there is nothing to praise, no matter what deeds Dai Kasa did in the War of Resistance Against Japan, he is still a figure who violates the correct trend of Chinese history.
This person built such a surprising house for the safety of his family and himself, and it is difficult to imagine how crazy people can design their homes like this, and what it is like to live in it.
This house has now become a tourist attraction for people to visit and punch cards, and before that, some people criticized the construction of the bad guy's "old house", alluding to the restoration of Dai Kasa's old house. Dai Kasa is not an object that should be admired, but his house is indeed quite enjoyable, and such ingenious ideas and designs are rare today.
