On April 29, 1951, a group of revolutionaries who had committed the most heinous crimes prepared to be executed on the public trial platform, including the murderer of Mao Zedong's brother Mao Zemin, Li Yingqi.
In July 1946, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to release all the detainees, including Chairman Mao's brother Mao Zemin, but among the many people who were released, Mao Zemin was not found, and as time went on, the news of Mao Zemin's death was accepted by the central authorities, but there was no news of Mao Zemin for such a long time, under what circumstances was Mao Zemin killed? Then Chairman Mao investigated for 4 years before he knew the truth.

Mao Zemin is the younger brother of Mao Zedong, born on April 3, 1986, 3 years away from Mao Zedong, and is also one of Mao Zedong's favorite younger brothers, once Mao Zedong once said: "At home, I am more inclined to Zemin, and I have never scolded him." ”
The age gap between Chairman Mao and Mao Zemin is not large, coupled with Mao Zemin's personality with his mother, his personality is gentle and understanding, but what Chairman Mao cannot forget most is that when he was a child, his brother dropped out of school to study for himself, so he very much liked this younger brother Mao Zemin, who worked hard and worked hard.
Their father, Mao Shunsheng, was just a poor man, and when he was young, he chose to be a soldier for the sake of his family's livelihood, although there were no excellent results in the army, but he broadened his horizons in the station with the troops, and when he returned home, in order to improve the economic conditions of his family, he crushed the remaining rice in his family into rice, and then went to the Xiangtan rice market to sell, so that he could earn a large regional difference.

Mao Zemin's whole life has been engaged in the party's economic work, in 1910, Mao Zedong went to a higher primary school to study, the cost of this school is high, the family economy was not rich at that time, it is completely impossible to support the two people's reading costs, after Mao Zemin only read for 4 years, he chose to drop out of school, began to plan for the family's livelihood with his father, engaged in agricultural labor at home, and also learned the way to make money.
Even if Mao Zemin is still young, but his father will do what he does, neighbors will praise him every time he talks about Mao Zemin, is a good hand at running the family, in 1913 under the arrangement of his parents at home, Mao Zemin and Wang Shulan married, only 17 years old He took over the burden of farming and managing the family.

From October 1919 to January 1920, mao Zemin's parents died one after another, at this time Mao Zedong was engaged in revolutionary activities in Changsha, and Mao Zemin began to take on the entire family economy.
Then through their own management of things, the local began to issue "paper notes", equivalent to credit coupons, one can raise funds, to ensure a year's interest, can be exchanged at any time, can also be used as the wages of employees, the second can also take the paper tickets to the shops in exchange for some chai rice oil and salt, etc., after several years of paper ticket issuance, the family economy gradually improved.

In the Spring Festival of 1921, Chairman Mao returned to Shaoshan from Changsha, Mao Zemin was very excited in his heart, as soon as he returned, he represented that there was a master in the family, someone could preside over the major affairs in the family, and his future life would be planned by his brother Mao Zedong, but after Mao Zedong returned, he said to Mao Zemin: "In the future, you will not go to the land, follow me out to study, with your ability you can make great contributions to the country."
He also told his family about the recent events in this part of China, when under the oppression and exploitation of bureaucrats, landlords and capitalists, the people's lives were miserable, and the scuffle of feudal warlords and the continuous aggression of imperialism put the country into an even more dangerous situation, so Mao Zemin decided to go with his brother and make contributions to the country to the best of his ability.
Mao Zemin, led by his brother Mao Zedong, left home, joined the revolution, came to Changsha to manage the Changsha First Division Attached Elementary School, managed the school's funds and teachers' food, was sent to the Anyuan Road Mine in Pingxiang, Jiangxi In 1923, served as the general manager of the consumer cooperative, and then issued shares in the consumer cooperative to make up for the lack of funds, which was also the earliest issued stock of the economic entity founded by the Leadership of the Communist Party of China.

On February 1, 1938, Mao Zemin's illness was serious due to fatigue at work, so the central government decided to let Mao Zemin go to the Soviet Union to recuperate and study, so he left Yan'an for the Soviet Union, and in the middle of the way, due to the plague on the Xinjiang border, he could not continue to move forward, so he temporarily stayed at the office of the Eighth Route Army in Dihua, Xinjiang.
And sheng shicai in order to consolidate his position, not to be swallowed up by Chiang Kai-shek, all began his own planning, so who is Sheng Shicai?
Sheng Shicai was originally a son of a northeastern landlord, and then defected to Chiang Kai-shek, but in the Kuomintang has not been reused, Chiang Kai-shek also ignored it, can only work in the Nanjing staff, and then the Xinjiang warlord Jin Shuren implemented a tyrannical rule, wanted to rectify the army, but there was a lack of military technical talents in the local area, so Lu Xiaozu, who was stationed in the Nanjing office, looked for a military instructor in Nanjing, so Sheng Shicai was recommended to go over. But Sheng Shicai's heart is not just as simple as being a military instructor, and Jin Shuren can also be described as "attracting wolves into the room".

After coming to Xinjiang, Sheng Shicai began to understand the local situation, and ousted the great leader who had previously promoted him, and then took advantage of the dissatisfaction and distrust of the warlords in Xinjiang to launch a "gold-pouring incident" on April 12, 1933, taking the power of Xinjiang into his own hands.
However, at this time, Sheng Shicai was still more panicked, because Chiang Kai-shek was likely to annex his own forces, and he took advantage of Emperor Gao's superiority to gradually become stronger in the Xinjiang region, because Xinjiang happened to be adjacent to the Soviet Union, and Sheng Shicai also knew that whether he could gain a firm foothold in Xinjiang would need to maintain his relations with the Soviet Union, so he showed a "pro-Soviet and pro-Communist" appearance in order to be able to win the assistance of the Soviet Union, and requested that the CPSU and the CCP could send people to Xinjiang to work for financial management.
Mao Zemin has always had excellent financial management capabilities, Xinjiang is an important international transportation route, the geographical location is quite important, Deng Fa has just served as the CPC's representative in Xinjiang, and also needs a capable comrade to help him, so he will report to the central government to let Mao Zemin stay here, and it is precisely at this time that Mao Zemin is passing through Xinjiang, so the Party Central Committee decided to let Mao Zemin temporarily stay in Xinjiang to work.

After Mao Zemin's state was restored, he served as the deputy director of the provincial finance department in Xinjiang, and after working long hours in the local area, he found that Xinjiang was under the rule of the warlords of Sheng Shicai, and the local economy was seriously affected, because of the large number of banknotes, so the local prices began to rise rapidly, and after a period of time, they would rise again.
At that time, Xinjiang still used "two" as a unit, with 500 silver bills can not buy an egg, and even people in the purchase of daily necessities are used to weigh silver bills, every time when paying wages people need to take sacks to pack, this is because of the endless printing of banknotes in The prosperous world, resulting in a silver bill in Xinjiang is worthless.
Mao Zemin was very restrained from this kind of behavior, and in the face of the local financial chaos, Mao Zemin decided to use "quick knives to cut the chaos, and start a new stove!" So began to manage the economy in the local area, abolished the "two" as a unit of currency, issued a "yuan" as a unit of paper money, Mao Zemin's rectification made Sheng Shicai have to accept, but in Sheng Shicai's heart is also full of anger, because he can no longer go to the bank to get money as before.

Under Mao Zemin's rectification, the province's financial situation has improved significantly after four months, and the tax revenue has increased significantly, before the rectification, the province's tax revenue was only 1.81 billion taels, and the expenditure reached 3.64 billion taels, and after 4 months, the fiscal revenue surged to 5.28 billion taels, and the expenditure was only 4.39 billion taels.
In September 1941, Chiang Kai-shek began to oppose communism and launched an attack on the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and Sheng Shicai's ambitions were gradually exposed, and he began to stir up trouble, eventually forcing Deng Fa, a representative of the Communist Party of China, to leave Xinjiang and put Du Chongyuan under house arrest.
Du Chongyuan's house arrest soon caused a sensation in Xinjiang, many people excused Du Chongyuan but Sheng Shicai has not let up, and even at a deliberately arranged banquet, Let Du Chongyuan eat an apple and finally poisoned to death, in the eyes of Sheng Shicai, Du Chongyuan is a chess piece, he will use it when he needs it, as long as it is useless, he will abandon it, not only that, once the form changes, he will ruthlessly turn his face.

After the outbreak of the Soviet-German War in 1941, the Soviet Union suffered a major blow, and Sheng Shicai once believed that the Soviet Union was going to perish, so he declared the "pro-Soviet" relations to the outside world broken, and then for the sake of his own road, Sheng Shi began to repair relations with Chiang Kai-shek, directly reversed the attitude of our army, arrested many personnel of our army and students studying in military schools, and then rescued them in our barracks.
Sheng Shicai's behavior became more and more extreme, and his suspicions became more and more serious, and he even suspected that his own brother was bribed by the Soviet Union, thinking that he wanted to take his place, and then recruiting someone to kill his own brother.

On the one hand, Sheng Shicai made overtures to Chiang Kai-shek, and on the other hand, he transferred the CPC from important posts in the new cadres, and Mao Zemin was also transferred away from the Department of Finance; Mao Zemin realized at this time that Sheng Shicai was about to turn his face with the CPC, so he sent telegrams to the central authorities many times, which was able to get the cadres in Xinjiang to withdraw to the Soviet Union and avoid Sheng Shicai's treacherous plan, but the central authorities did not return the call for a long time, until later the central authorities received the telegram but had missed the best time for rescue.
On September 17, 1942, a group of military and police agents came to Mao Zemin's residence and surrounded it, saying that it was Sheng Shicai who invited Mao Zemin to the conference room to talk, and when he arrived at the destination, he found that there were more than 140 people such as Chen Tanqiu, Xu Mengqiu, and Pan.
In Sheng Shicai's eyes, he has always been afraid of the kuomintang's forces, and this surveillance is also through the fact that some people want to murder the Communist Party, in order to protect the personal safety of Mao Zemin, but in fact it is arrest, and the reason why he does not dare to order the arrest of prison is that he is worried that there will be no retreat in front of the Communist Party.

Then Sheng Shicai ordered the head of the secret service, Li Yingqi, to arrange everyone in a luxurious living room, and Li Yingqi said: "Everyone sit for a while first, the superintendent is a little busy today, and you need to wait first."
After waiting for a while, the crowd did not see Sheng Shicai coming, Mao Zemin stood up and walked outside, and Li Yingqi waited outside the door, stopping Mao Zemin who was walking outside, Mao Zemin said calmly: "Since the supervision office is busy, we will go back first, and when the supervision office has time, we will come back." ”
Li Yingqi looked treacherous and said: "The time of the inspector today is a little tight, but things are also very important, so today you may need to stay here for a night, and when the inspector has time, he will come to see you." ”
However, Mao Zemin and others insisted on leaving, and many military and police agents poured in, and Mao Zemin and others understood that this was house arrest, and then Mao Zemin and his party were escorted into Liu Mansion, and then Mao Zemin called to inquire about Sheng Shicai, but the telephone line had been cut off, and it was obvious that Sheng Shicai's action had already begun, and he had already made up his mind to defect to Chiang Kai-shek and regard the new major leader of the CPC as a "gift" to defect to Chiang Kai-shek.
Zhu Danhua recalled: "At the beginning, when Sheng Shicai put us under house arrest in Bahuliang, Chen Tanqiu, Mao Zemin, Xu Mengqiu, Pan Tong, and Liu Xiping had a lot of noise during the meeting, and they couldn't hear anything clearly, but Mao Zemin said to me after he came back that if he could have listened to me, he wouldn't have been like this." Mao Zemin has been arrested twice since he joined the revolution, and he was lucky to escape, but this time in Xinjiang, everything is difficult to say.
In the face of what Sheng Shicai had done, Mao Zemin felt that Sheng Shi would soon take action the night before, and Fang Zhichun, the younger brother of Fang Zhimin, said: "According to the current situation, I am likely to be unable to go back, sheng shi will never let me go, if you have the opportunity to return to Yan'an, you must tell Comrade Mao Zedong for me, I Mao Zemin is worthy of being a Communist Party member, and I am worthy of Mao Zedong's younger brother, as well as Mao Zeqin's brother!" ”

At a dangerous moment, Mao Zemin did not think of his wife and two-year-old son, but was determined and committed to the party and the cause, and Mao Zemin dedicated his life to the party's cause.
After being placed under house arrest, Mao Zemin was full of anger and loudly rebuked Sheng Shicai's treacherous behavior, but Mao Zemin knew that Sheng Shicai was already incurable, and soon after the Party Central Committee learned of the news that Sheng Shicai had arrested Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and others, he immediately demanded that Sheng Shicai release him, and Sheng Shicai completely ignored the demands of the Party Central Committee, because at that time Sheng Shicai's idea was to make the CCP people admit that he was engaged in a conspiracy and riot.
At a time when the Soviet Union was at a low ebb, Sheng Shi felt that his patron was only Chiang Kai-shek, because Chiang Kai-shek could promise himself many benefits.

Before the arrest of Mao Zemin and others, Chiang Kai-shek had already sent Soong Mei-ling and others to conduct interviews with Sheng Shicai, during which Song Meiling informed Sheng Shi that Sheng Shi would be allowed to serve as a member of the Kuomintang Central Supervision Commission and the chairman of the Kuomintang Xinjiang Provincial Party Department, including 9 important party, government, and military positions.
In February 1943, Sheng Shicai imprisoned everyone in the Second Army Prison, covered up his crimes with a legitimate reason, casually fabricated a fake case of the "April 12" riot of the Communists, wanted to make the Communists admit it, and then tortured them through a series of means to extract confessions, and also ordered that the food be spoiled, only two meals a day, and a lot of sand was mixed in the meal.
Chen Tanqiu, Mao Zemin, Lin Jilu, and others knew that Sheng Shicai did not dare to execute himself, because there were still many things that Sheng Shicai needed in these Communists, so they began a hunger strike and made three demands on Sheng Shicai: to conduct a public trial, to return Marxist-Leninist books, and to improve food.
In May, Mao Zemin was taken into an execution hall, and Li Yingqi sat inside, with a sinister smile on his face, and when he saw Mao Zemin being escorted in, he spat out this sentence: "Have you not admitted to the riot case until now?" Mao Zemin squinted at him and said, "How to admit things that are not at all, you are completely slandering, even if I die, I will not admit it."
Li Yingqi laughed and said triumphantly: "We have worked together for so many years, what have you done yourself is not clear to yourself?" And your people have already reported you to us, it is better to confess your sins early, so as not to continue to suffer."
Mao Zemin asked, "What have I done?" In the past few years since I came to Xinjiang, I have founded the Dushanzi Oil Mine, the Altay Gold Mine, etc. in the local area, and I have also rectified the local economic policy, abolished the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and more than that, now you ask me what I have done, what have you done yourself? ”

Li Yingqi was already successfully provoked by Mao Zemin's words, and he was powerless to refute it, so he said: "You don't have to tell me this, your party has already admitted the fact that you plotted and rioted." ”
Two of them began to so-called exposing Mao Zemin's crimes, and the two sang and said in harmony: Mao Zemin had met with other Communists in the Academic Affairs Office of Xinjiang University to discuss the plan for the riot, and decided to occupy the office of the superintendent.
Picture | old photo of Sheng Shicai
As soon as Mao Zemin heard the voice, he knew that it was Meng Yiming and Pan Bainan, and then he shook back: "Meng Yiming and Pan Bainan, I know that it is you two, and what you two said is too contradictory, since Sheng Shicai arrested us, he has always let us admit that it was a meeting in the Eighth Route Army Office. You are all cadres from Yan'an, the party has educated and trained you for so many years, I really did not expect that you two betrayed the revolution in order to save your lives, and now although Sheng Shicai can buy your souls with money, he can't buy the facts, the truth will always come out, is your choice right? ”
After the two walked out, they silently did not dare to speak, nor did they dare to look directly at Mao Zemin, Li Yingqi watched more and more angry on the side, directly roared at the two people, and then Li Yingqi came up with his own "trick", Li Yingqi has been using torture to force a lot of unjust cases, and often bragged in front of others that he had more than 30 kinds of torture, but here in Mao Zemin let Li Yingqi "punch in the face".
Li Yingqi tortured him in all kinds, and although he exhausted all the torture, he would not give in, and he could never let Mao Zemin sign the document; Sheng Shicai looked at Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu, and others who did not sign for a long time, and said to them: "As long as you can publicly declare that you have broken away from the Communist Party, you will be spared death." However, Mao Zemin and others' firmness toward the party was something that Sheng Shicai could not understand, so he ignored it.
Mao Zemin and Chen Tanqiu are two early members of the CPC, they will never give up their ideals and beliefs, they know that their identity is special, whether they die, they will not admit it, once they leave the party, they will cause irreparable losses to the party, no matter what torture devices are used, no matter how many times they have fainted, they are firm in their thoughts: never leave the party!

On the night of September 27, 1943, Sheng Shicai secretly killed Chen Tanqiu, Mao Zemin, and Lin Jilu, because it was a secret killing, so many people did not know, until after liberation, the executioner Li Yingqi was arrested, which learned the details of Mao Zemin and others' killing.
Immediately afterward, Sheng Shicai sent people to Chongqing to ask Chiang Kai-shek for merit, but Chiang Kai-shek wanted to see the evidence, and Sheng Shicai could only dig up the body and give the evidence of the killing to Chiang Kai-shek.
Mao Zedong never gave up on the truth of the matter, and finally discovered the truth of the matter 7 years after Mao Zemin's sacrifice.

After liberation, Li Yingqi and others were arrested and sentenced to death, and when they were escorted to the execution ground, the crowd followed, and a total of 25 people were executed this time, all of whom were extremely evil people, and the masses were also full of hatred for them, and they all wanted to see these executioners shoot them.
At 11:00 a.m. on April 29, 1951, the presiding judge Bao Erhan began to preside over the public trial, and Li Yingqi and others were escorted to the public trial platform, and when the public indictment listed Li Yingqi's crimes, Li Yingqi trembled until the sentence was pronounced that Li Yingqi's execution was "tied to the execution ground and executed by shooting", he began to shout injustice, and said: "Wronged! All this was forced to me by the world! ”

In the face of Li Yingqi's "begging for forgiveness", the presiding judge did not pay attention, and then the gunshot sounded, Li Yingqi fell in front of everyone, and in 1954, the people's government established a revolutionary martyrs' cemetery in the southern suburbs of Urumqi City, and officially buried the remains of Mao Zemin and other martyrs.
