Lu Han did not move a word of Chiang Kai-shek's secret killing order, but let this handwritten edict become waste paper
As we all know, the modern social turmoil on the mainland has occurred, there have been many wars of all sizes, and in the late Qing Dynasty, there have been many wars of aggression, and the Qing government is weak and incompetent, has no ability to fight back, and has made concessions again and again, and signed a series of treaties that have lost power and humiliated the country. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, in the period of the Republic of China, the country and the people still did not get rid of the smoke of war, first the agrarian revolution and then the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, but fortunately, under the leadership of our Party, we overcame many difficulties and won the war.
In September 1949, the Liberation War was coming to an end, and the liberation of Yunnan was in sight, but by this time the Yunnan military command had mastered 90 revolutionaries hidden in Yunnan. Shen Drunk, director of the Yunnan Station of the Military Command, sent a telegram asking Chiang Kai-shek what to do with these people, and Chiang Kai-shek hated these people to the bone, so he called back with eight words: Excusable, guilty. Chiang Kai-shek's remark was very euphemistic, meaning that although the deeds of these people were excusable, the things they committed were really excessive, and capital crimes were inevitable. 逭 means to run away, to avoid, and to be evasive is not to let go, that is, to be executed. Once this telegram reaches the hands of Shen Drunk, these 90 patriots will definitely be executed, but fortunately, the sending and receiving of this telegram is first sent to the hands of Lu Han, the chairman of Yunnan Province, and forwarded to Shen Drunk through Lu Han, and it is precisely because of this that these 90 patriots escaped the disaster.
At this time, Lu Han can be said to be "the heart is in Cao Ying's heart in Han", Lu Han has already thought of defecting to the Communist Party, so at this time, he must protect this group of patriots, which can also be regarded as a good deed. Lu Han's heart is also very patriotic, he also wants to end this war as soon as possible, the people can suffer less, the motherland wants to liberate, can not let Chiang Kai-shek and the Communist Party struggle to the end of the plot to succeed. At this time, the most urgent task was to think about how to keep these patriots, and Lu Han suddenly thought of a person, this person was the elder of Xinhai, who had participated in leading the Yunnan uprising, had held the Yunnan Lecture Hall with General Cai Yi, and had also been the teacher of Marshal Zhu De, who was Li Gengen. Luhan hurriedly asked the old man to come over and see if he could change the telegram, delay the time, and save the more than 90 revolutionaries.
Li Gen read the telegram, pondered for a long time, and came up with a brilliant method, the old man took the telegram in his hand, and then drew a counter-check on the telegram with a pen, and the meaning of Chiang Kai-shek's secret killing order was completely changed. The telegram that was revised by the old gentleman became "the crime is inexcusable, and the feelings are excusable", which means that although what they did could not escape the death penalty, but the circumstances are excusable, does not this call back mean that Chiang Kai-shek will not move these 90 revolutionaries? Li Gen gave the revised telegram to Lu Han and asked him to find a translator to translate, and in this way, the secret killing order of the telegram received by Shen Drunk became a pardon order, and this simple stroke saved the lives of 90 people.
When Chiang Kai-shek found out that something was wrong, he had already fled to Taiwan, and when he found out that the 90 people had not been executed, Chiang Kai-shek was also very puzzled, but he did not know that Lu Han and Li Gen were obstructing him. Chiang Kai-shek thought that he was a confidential secretary, and the order of the telegrams he dictated was reversed, and the confidential secretary was also bitter and could not say, and he did not know how the people under his command sent the telegrams, and he could only bear it silently when the old Chiang scolded him. From the Kunming archives, it was found that the original telegram was indeed excusable and unjustifiable, but there was a counter-check in this sentence, and this counter-check was exactly what Mr. Li Gengen did, and we want to thank Mr. Old Man for this pen, which allowed 90 revolutionaries to survive.
