After the Battle of the River Crossing in 1949, the People's Liberation Army occupied Nanjing, the "capital" of the Kuomintang government, in just a few days, and after a short rest, the ministries continued to move south, getting closer and closer to Shanghai.
Considering that wherever the war went, lives were ruined, and Shanghai was a metropolis in the Far East, the central authorities considered settling the Shanghai problem by peaceful means, and a key part of this was to plot against Tang Enbo, commander-in-chief of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou garrison.
Tang Enbo was not a general from Huangpu, and he did not have a "teacher-student relationship" with Chiang Kai-shek, and along the way, in addition to relying on his own efforts, he also relied on the old governor Chen Yi's promotion. Two years ago, Chiang Kai-shek's 74th Division was completely destroyed at Menglianggu, the division commander Zhang Lingfu was killed, and Tang Enbo, who was the commander of the campaign, was dismissed by Chiang Kai-shek, and finally with the help of Chen Yi, he was able to make a comeback.
At that time, Chen Yi had been won over by our underground party and agreed to help plot against Tang Enbo, but because Tang Enbo betrayed Chen Yi, the rebellion failed, and after Chen Yi, the Party Central Committee sent several capable generals, all of which failed.
Lu Jiuzhi
Shanghai has a special status, and the central authorities have not given up their rebellion against Tang Enbo, and finally decided to use Lu Jiuzhi, a red agent and Chiang Kai-shek's only "son-in-law" who lurked around Tang Enbo.
Lu Jiuzhi served as a major general senator beside Tang Enbo, and was deeply trusted by Tang Enbo, who could freely enter and leave the Tang Mansion, and the central government would use Lu Jiuzhi, also taking into account this special status.
However, Chiang's father and son were also afraid that Tang Enbo would "oppose the water" and personally went to Shanghai to sit in the town, and under the oppression of Chiang Kai-shek, Lu Jiuzhi was unable to succeed in the final rebellion.
Mao Sen, the head of the military command's secret service, has ample evidence to prove that Lu Jiuzhi is an underground party lurking around Tang Enbo, and Lu Jiuzhi's identity has long been exposed. On the eve of the liberation of Shanghai, he wanted to "get rid of" him, but considering that he was Chiang Kai-shek's "horse master" and a close associate of Tang Enbo, he did not dare to act for a long time, and when consulting Tang Enbo's opinion, Tang Enbo may have taken into account his past friendship and took the initiative to "guarantee" that Lu Jiuzhi had no problem, and Mao Sen could only watch him go to the Liberated Areas in the end.
So, how did Chiang Kai-shek's son-in-law become a red agent? How did Lu Jiuzhi marry Chiang Kai-shek's daughter?

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > Red Agent Lu Jiuzhi</h1>
Lu Jiuzhi was a second-generation official, and his father, Lu Han, was the director of the Hunan Department of Finance and the director of the Military Justice Department of the General Headquarters of the Five Provinces Combined Forces, which won the trust of Sun Chuanfang. Lu Jiuzhi is the eldest son, according to Lu Han's vision, he wants Lu Jiuzhi's "son to inherit his father's business", and when he grows up, he will be arranged to enter the government to engage in politics, and with his relationship, Lu Jiuzhi's career will be smooth.
Although he has no worries about food and clothing, Lu Jiuzhi is not a clumsy boy, unwilling to be a young master in the mansion to stretch out his hands and eat, during middle school, he likes to read progressive books such as "New Youth", and has met many like-minded friends, and progressive ideas not only affect lu Jiuzhi himself, he also spread to his father.
Lu Jiuzhi knew that his father had a habit of picking up newspapers or magazines when he went to the toilet, and Lu Jiuzhi put a progressive magazine such as "New Youth" next to the toilet in advance, and his father would also read it, and over time, he would no longer interfere in Lu Jiuzhi's affairs.
During the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Lu Jiuzhi became acquainted with the underground party Cai Shuhou in Shanghai, and under his leadership, he read more progressive books and understood more revolutionary principles, and later founded a company called "Shaodun Electric" in Shanghai with Cai Shuhou. In the eyes of outsiders, Shaodun Electric is just an inconspicuous small company among the thousands of enterprises in Shanghai, but in fact it is a secret liaison station of the Shanghai underground party, and Zhou Enlai, Ye Jianying and so on have all come.
New Youth magazine
Because Lu Jiuzhi is good at using his brain and is quick-witted, the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions still lacks a contact person, Xu Meikun thinks that Lu Jiuzhi is a suitable candidate, so he transferred him to the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions and served as Zhou Enlai's liaison.
Since the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek has begun to expose his "ambitions" and is ready to find an opportunity to attack the Communist Party, monopolize power, and implement dictatorship. In 1927, with the help of Shanghai workers, the Northern Expeditionary Army easily entered Shanghai, but the armed strength of the Shanghai workers also aroused chiang kai-shek's concern, and also believed that the time had come to "clean up the party".
In order to confuse the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, after Chiang Kai-shek entered Shanghai, he personally wrote a pennant for "common struggle" and sent a band to send it to the trade union by beating gongs and drums; at that time, this pennant was taken by Lu Jiuzhi himself, and what he never expected was that a few days later, Chiang Kai-shek revealed his true face in Lushan and launched a counter-revolutionary coup.
The situation was very grim, and the party organization in Shanghai believed that a few able cadres should be sent to infiltrate the enemy's interior to spy on intelligence, because Lu Jiuzhi was born into a bureaucratic family, and using this background to infiltrate would not arouse the suspicion of the enemy.
Chiang Kai-shek
After the defeat of the Great Revolution, the Party Central Committee still insisted on working secretly in Shanghai under the white terror, although the Shanghai underground party action was secret, but the streets and alleys were full of secret agents' eyeliner, sometimes it was inevitable to expose the traces, but because Lu Jiuzhi was lurking in the Kuomintang Shanghai secret service organization, he could get intelligence at the first time.
Once, when Chen Geng was found in Shanghai for medical treatment, the agents sent people to prepare to arrest, and after Lu Jiuzhi got the news, the first time it came out, Chen Geng was transferred in time. Another time, the secret agents found the address of Xiang Zhongfa, the top person in charge of the Party Central Committee, and was also preparing to search for him, Lu Jiuzhi sent the information out again, and Xiang Zhongfa was able to escape from danger.
One after another, the top secret service believed that there must be someone inside who had leaked the news, otherwise how could he have repeatedly failed, and soon found Lu Jiuzhi's head, but he only suspected, there was no substantive evidence, and finally only Lu Jiuzhi was expelled.
Considering Lu Jiuzhi's safety, the party organization sent him to take refuge in Ye Jianying's home in Guangdong. Ye Jianying believes that Lu Jiuzhi's identity has not been exposed, and he has a bureaucratic background and can continue to return to Shanghai to carry out underground work. Ye Jianying entrusted Lian Shenghai, who had served as Sun Yat-sen's secretary, to introduce Lu Jiuzhi to the Shanghai Merchants Bureau as a secretary.
Chen Geng
Although Lu Jiuzhi has worked for the party for many years, he is still not a party member, and in the past he had asked Zhou Enlai to join the party, but Zhou Enlai believed that in Lu Jiuzhi's capacity, joining the party was more important than not joining the party, and not joining the party could play a greater role.
In 1929, the general secretary of the Japanese Communist Party, Sano Gaku, was prepared to return from the Soviet Union via Shanghai, and Riku hisself was ordered to protect the safety of Sano Gaku, because Sano Gaku's external identity was a professor in Waseda, and there was no problem in staying in the Riku Mansion for more than a month, but later when the superior organization assisted in the transfer, he did not know what the reason was, and missed the wind, Sano Gaku was arrested in Zhabei, implicated in this matter, and Lu Kuroyuki was forced to go to Japan.
Lu Jiuzhi studied in Japan for seven years, during which time he worked as a reporter for the Shanghai "Declaration" in Tokyo, and Lu Jiuzhi used this public identity to make friends with many People in the Japanese military and political circles. Later, Lu Jiuzhi's father's friend Xu Shiying became the ambassador to Japan, and out of his care for Lu Jiuzhi, he was appointed as the commissioner of the embassy.
After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, Lu Jiuzhi returned to China, took advantage of his previous connections in Japan, and went to Shanghai to infiltrate the Haian Company, which had close contacts with the Japanese Navy, as a manager; at that time, Japan was very strict about ships traveling from Shanghai to northern Jiangsu and Qingdao.
Old Shanghai
Although these materials are available in Shanghai, they cannot be transported, such as candles, fire oil, cloth and other materials to be transported, and it is necessary to have a permit from the Japanese Naval Manager's Department, because the Hai'an Company has close contacts with the Japanese Navy, and Lu Jiuzhi has obtained a permit to transport a large number of materials to the base area.
Soon after, the Japanese intelligence department discovered Riku's abnormality and imprisoned him in the Japanese gendarmerie to torture him to extract a confession, but Riku hisco always only admitted that it was a business negligence and did not recognize the relationship with the Communist Party, because Japan could not find evidence for a while, coupled with the intercession of his Japanese friend, then Japanese naval attaché Furukawa Kitaro, Rikuhisa was acquitted.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the people who had helped the Japanese in the past were panicked and spent a lot of money to find the kuomintang members who accepted them, and bought a "letter of appointment" that reversed the date.
At that time, the person in charge of "taking over" Shanghai was Tang Enbo, commander of the Kuomintang Third Front, and Tang Enbo had a very good relationship with Lu Jiuzhi.
The Tang family and the Lu family can be said to be family friends, in the early years when Tang Enbo was unsatisfied, it was Lu Jiuzhi's father who recommended it to Chen Yi, which enabled him to be brilliant, Tang Enbo was very grateful to the Lu family, after the restoration of Shanghai, he immediately appointed Lu Jiuzhi as a major general of the Third Front Army, Lu Jiuzhi also took advantage of this opportunity to lurk around Tang Enbo and obtain a lot of military intelligence, and it was also at this time that Lu Jiuzhi met Jiang Yaoguang.
Chiang Kai-shek and the generals
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > Chiang Kai-shek's adopted daughter, Jiang Yaoguang</h1>
In 1919, Chiang Kai-shek became acquainted with Chen Jieru. The first time Chiang Kai-shek saw Chen Jieru, he fell in love with this woman, and after continuous pursuit, he finally "hugged the beauty and returned" after two years, for various reasons, Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru have not had children since they got married.
By chance, he Xiangning, the wife of Kuomintang elder Liao Zhongkai, visited a hospital in Guangzhou and learned that a pregnant woman very much wanted a son, but had given birth to multiple daughters in a row, even the newborn one, because there were many children in the family, the burden was very large, and he was ready to throw the child away.
One day not long after, Chen Jieru came to the home as a guest, and after learning the source of the child, she painfully picked up the left and right sides and looked at it, unwilling to put it down. He Xiangning knew that Chen Jieru wanted a child very much, but the sky did not go according to people's wishes, so he proposed to send this child to her to raise, Chen Jieru himself accepted He Xiangning's proposal, but such a big thing, still have to consult with Chiang Kai-shek, I thought Chiang Kai-shek would oppose, but he also agreed very much, and personally gave the girl the name of "Yao Guang".
Later, Chiang Kai-shek prepared to marry Soong Ching Ling for political purposes, but because he and Chen Jieru had not yet divorced, Chiang Kai-shek tricked Chen Jieru into studying in the United States for five years, and vowed that as long as he was given five years, he would definitely restore the relationship with her after five years.
Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru
Chen Jieru came to the United States under Chiang Kai-shek's "soft and hard bubbles", and before leaving, Chen Jieru fostered Jiang Yaoguang in her grandmother's house in Shanghai. But what she did not expect was that this was Chiang Kai-shek's "plan", and when Chen Jieru boarded the ship bound for the United States, Chiang Kai-shek turned around and publicly published the "Chiang Kai-shek Notice":
Comrades have many letters of doubt about the Zhongzheng family affairs, because they have not yet been enlightened, they hereby advise the following ——— the Republic of China, the original Mao and Zhongzheng formally divorced. The other two clans, who originally had no marriage contract, are now disassociated from Zhongzheng. At present, he has two children and grandchildren in addition to the family, and has no wife and daughter. However, the rumors are untrue and easy to be confused, and they are hereby restored.
After Chen Jieru heard this news on the radio, she was heartbroken and wanted to take her life many times, but fortunately she was stopped in time, because of the blow of this relationship, Chen Jieru lost confidence in love and never remarried.
After returning to China, Chen Jieru lived in Shanghai and took Jiang Yaoguang to his side to raise him; when Chiang Kai-shek learned that Chen Jieru returned to China, perhaps because of his guilt for his mother and daughter, he granted Chen Jieru a sum of money.
Chen Jieru
After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, Jiang Yaoguang became acquainted with a young man surnamed An, who was in trouble at the time, and this young man gave Jiang Yaoguang a lot of help, and the two of them developed feelings and took him to see Chen Jieru.
Chen Jieru lived with Chiang Kai-shek for six or seven years, met too many upper-class people, and practiced a pair of "understanding people" eyes; after seeing this young man, after a few words of conversation, he felt that this young man was not simple, Chen Jieru had an opposing attitude toward their exchanges, but Jiang Yaoguang insisted on being with him, Chen Jieru saw that her daughter was so insistent, and she also thought that she was suspicious, so she acquiesced to her daughter's marriage.
After Jiang Yaoguang married a Young Man surnamed An, he soon had two children. But this Young Korean man is certainly not a good person, his real identity is actually a spy, after the surrender of Japan, afraid of being punished by the National Government, leaving his wife and children to escape, Jiang Yaoguang's life suddenly fell into a predicament, all thanks to the help of his mother Chen Jieru.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > became Chiang Kai-shek's "son-in-law"</h1>
After Lu Jiuzhi became a major general of Tang Enbo, his contact with Tang's secretary general, Hu Jingru, naturally increased. Hu Jingru's wife Zhou Anqi is a good friend of Jiang Yaoguang, she is very sympathetic to Jiang Yaoguang's plight, the ignorance at that time caused the current dilemma, Zhou Anqi has always wanted to help Jiang Yaoguang find a partner.
At that time, Tang Enbo was "very popular" in Shanghai, and Lu Jiuzhi not only hung the sign of major general, but also Tang Enbo's close confidant, but also was upright and personable, completely different from other Kuomintang generals, so he told Lu Jiuzhi about this matter through her husband Hu Jingru.
Lu Jiuzhi is over forty years old, but because he has been engaged in underground work for a long time, he has not yet started a family, and he also feels sympathy for Jiang Yaoguang's experience, and he does not dislike having two sons with her ex-husband, and the two began to interact.
After Chen Jieru saw Lu Jiu, he was very satisfied with him, not only was he a high-achieving student who stayed in Japan, he had knowledge and culture, but also Tang Enbo's guest, his daughter would certainly not suffer after him, the two were officially married soon after, although the difference was more than twenty years, but life was very harmonious, Chen Jieru's heart of the stone, finally landed on the ground.
Although Chen Jieru and Chiang Kai-shek have been divorced for many years, But Jiang Yaoguang was adopted together before they divorced, so Lu Jiuzhi naturally became Chiang Kai-shek's "son-in-law." After the two married, the top level of the Kuomintang also regarded Lu Jiuzhi as the "horse master" of the chairman of the committee, which promoted Lu Jiuzhi's status.
Although Lu Jiuzhi did not admit that he was a "relative of the emperor and the state" and never recognized Chiang Kai-shek as an "old man", this invisibly brought great convenience to his underground work.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > anti-Tang Enbor</h1>
As we mentioned at the beginning of the article, on the eve of the Shanghai Campaign, the Party Central Committee prepared to win the Tang Enbo uprising in order to prevent the destruction of the metropolis of Shanghai from being destroyed in the fires of war, but many people were successively sent, but they did not succeed in plotting a rebellion, and finally had to use Lu Jiuzhi to try again.
After Receiving the task, Lu Jiuzhi immediately went to the Tang Mansion to find Tang Enbo, but because of the People's Liberation Army Chen Bing on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the war was very tense, and every time he went to look for him, he was not at home, and finally Lu Jiuzhi directly stayed in the guest room of the Tang Mansion and waited for Tang Enbo to return.
After waiting for three days, Tombaugh finally returned. Lu Jiuzhi directly entered the theme: "Commander, the current situation is very worrying, the Nationalist army was defeated in the Battle of Xu Beng (The Battle of Huaihai), President Jiang also announced that he would go to the wilderness, millions of People's Liberation Army tigers were looking at the tiger, Nanjing is difficult to hold, not to mention Shanghai, I don't know what the commander has plans?" ”
"Although the communist army won the battles of Pingjin and Huaihai, the Yangtze River has been a natural danger since ancient times, and even if it crosses the Yangtze River, with the strong fortifications in the Songhu area, it can also fight a battle against the water..." Tang Enbo said.
National Army
Tang Enbo's tone at first was very hard, determined to compete with the People's Liberation Army, but under the repeated persuasion of Lu Jiuzhi, Tang Enbo changed. Lu Jiuzhi said that he could take the path of Fu Zuoyi, Tang Enbo did not express his position, walked back and forth in the study, and finally said: "I will consider it."
In the following days, Lu Jiuzhi still lived in the Tang Mansion, and Tang Enbo also entrusted Lu Jiuzhi to inquire about the situation and treatment after Fu Zuoyi's uprising, which showed that Tang Enbo began to waver.
However, at this critical moment, Chiang Kai-shek was also afraid that Tang Enbo would join the Communist Party, personally inspected Shanghai, and also let Jiang Weiguo live in the Tang Mansion, with the purpose of stabilizing Tang Enbo.
Seeing that Chiang's father and son were both in Shanghai, Lu Jiuzhi remembered the Xi'an Incident that occurred in 1936 and told Tang Enbo that he could take this opportunity to launch a new "Xi'an Incident" and would make a great achievement.
Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching-kuo
Through the Secrecy Bureau, Chiang Kai-shek also smelled the "peculiar smell" of the Tang Mansion, and the next day he let Jiang Weiguo live in the Tang Mansion. Under the persecution of Chiang Kai-shek, the families of officers at and above the regimental level who guarded Shanghai were all taken to Taiwan, ostensibly "protected" but in fact "detained."
The situation changed too much, and Lu Jiuzhi's strategy against Tang Enbo also died. Chiang Kai-shek's arrival also made Lu Jiuzhi's situation very dangerous, his identity had been exposed, and Mao Sen wanted to arrest Lu Jiuzhi many times, but Tang Enbo, considering his past friendship, was also Chiang Kai-shek's "son-in-law" and sent him to the Liberated Areas.
On May 27, 1949, the Battle of Shanghai ended, and Lu Jiuzhi, who had been fighting in the pulse of the enemy for decades, finally saw the dawn of victory.
