Wang Yaqiao is well known as the leader of the "Assassination King" and the "Axe Gang", but he himself is by no means a gangster, and the "Axe Gang" under his command is not a gang organization of an underworld nature, the "Axe Gang" is essentially a public welfare organization that provides support to the vast number of laborers in Shanghai, but under Chiang Kai-shek's brutal suppression of the workers' movement, the "Axe Gang" can only carry out activities as a non-governmental organization and in a non-public nature.
After the September 18 Incident, Wang Yaqiao reorganized his axe gang into an "iron-blooded hoe gang," with a total of more than 3,000 fighters, who successively organized assassinations such as "bombing the Japanese Izumo ship", "assassinating Wang Jingwei" and "Bombing in Hongkou Park"; in particular, on April 29, 1932, he sent a Korean righteous soldier Yin Fengji to throw fierce explosives on the rostrum of the Japanese military parade in Hongkou Park, sending a number of japanese military leaders and senior officials who invaded China to the western sky, which made the people of the whole country, including Chiang Kai-shek, deeply pleased, and could be called a "protection assassination case."
However, due to Wang Yaqiao's consistent anti-Chiang Kai-shek stance and the many "stabbing of Chiang Kai-shek" incidents in Lushan and Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek was shocked, and he finally offered a reward of one million oceans for the capture of Wang Yaqiao, which was ten times the reward of other Red Army generals at that time.
In 1936, Wang Yaqiao hid in Hong Kong with his subordinates", the "Four Great Kongs" and more than twenty other backbone cadres under the pursuit of the military command, and because wang Yaqiao was bold and careful and skilled, a large number of agents under Dai Yaqiao could not find his whereabouts in Hong Kong for several months.
In order to get rid of Wang Yaqiao, Dai Kasa personally came to Hong Kong to supervise and sent a secret agent named Chen Zhiping to infiltrate Wang Yaqiao's organization, found out that Wang Yaqiao and others often held meetings at the "Maoyuan Silk Cloth Village" run by his wife and brother, and after stalking and rounding up, captured Yu Likui, one of the four great Kongs under Wang Yaqiao, while Wang Yaqiao and the other three kongs were invited by Li Jishen to Wuzhou, Guangxi.
In order to trap Wang Yaqiao, Dai Kasa sent people to spread rumors that Yu Likui's wife Yu Wanjun had an affair with Wang Yaqiao, so that after being imprisoned, Yu Likui and Yu Wanjun were at odds with each other and refused to meet, Yu Wanjun and her children were cornered, and the undercover agent Chen Tianping appeared beside her, persuaded her to lure Wang Yaqiao out, and promised in a solemn manner: "Chiang Kai-shek cherishes talents, will definitely reuse Wang Yaqiao, and will never kill him, as long as Wang Yaqiao is revealed, Yu Likui will be released from prison." ”
In order to save her husband, Yu Wanjun agreed.
Soon after, she found Wang Yaqiao through Li Jishen and cried: "Li Kui was sentenced to death, and our mother and son cannot make a living in Hong Kong, I hope you can give us a way to live." ”
Wang Yaqiao, who was planning to defect to Yan'an, therefore stayed in Wuzhou, rented a house for her, and promised to help her save her husband, on October 20, 1936, Yu Wanjun said that he was going to Visit Hong Kong and ask Wang Yaqiao to write a letter to Yu Likui, Wang Yaqiao went to Yu Wanjun's residence alone after dinner, as soon as he entered the door, he was sprinkled with lime powder on the face by the agents, although he immediately drew his gun and killed several military agents, but he also fell in the intensive strafing of the agents, and the agents used knives to peel off his skin, in order to avoid the truth leaking. He also stabbed Yu Wanjun next to him.
After Wang Yaqiao's death, the Axe Gang also scattered, while his four major Kongo Hua Kezhi, Zheng Baozhen, Yu Yanong, and Yu Likui fled to hide in various places, but they all inherited Wang Yaqiao's legacy, successively joined the Communist Party, and embarked on the road of fighting to serve the country and the people.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yu Yanong was appointed vice governor of Anhui Province, Zheng Baozhen became the first mayor of Hefei, Hua Kezhi became the deputy minister of internal affairs of the State Council, and Yu Likui was released from prison in 1948 and later became a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference of Anhui Province.
Wang Yaqiao's only surviving poem, "Nian Nu Jiao Xijiang Smoke and Rain", wrote:
"The smoke and rain of the Xijiang River wept and wept, the land was heavy, the charm was the fox and the rabbit, and the northern land was lost to the Yellow Stream." The Central Plains is full of fire, sorrow and hatred, thousands of miles of smoke and dust, and the country and mountains know where. In the halls of China, it is difficult to bear the rampant east.
Drunken dreams of civil war, beauty and survival, what to say to the people of the country! Minhai Yangcheng Xingyi Division, Cang Cang is too ruthless, the end of the world, the footprints have no door, and there are tear marks for thousands of years. The gulls are heavy, and the Yanhe River in the north is not a lonely cloud. ”
The unfinished business of this "Jingke of the Republic of China" was completed by the "Four Great Kongs".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" >1, Yu Yanong, who graduated from the Baoding Military Academy, abandoned his military post and did not succeed, firmly followed Wang Yaqiao, and later became the vice governor of Anhui Province</h1>
Born in 1887, Yu Yanong was two years older than Wang Yaqiao, the oldest of the "Four Great Kongs" and the longest to follow Wang Yaqiao.
He was a native of Xiatangji, Shou County, Anhui Province (now part of Changfeng County, Hefei), born in a family of cultivators, his father was good at literature, and personally gave his three sons enlightenment, Yu Yanong, the eldest brother Yu Shenfu, and the second brother Yu Danfu were admitted to the Anhui Wubei Military Training Academy in Anqing at the same time in the late Qing Dynasty.
In 1906, Xu Xilin served as the school council, secretly publicizing the overthrow of the Qing court's autocratic system, under the guidance of the principal, The three yu Yanong brothers successively went to the Baoding Military Academy to study in the army, and secretly joined the League, joined the anti-Qing movement, and later became the famous Hefei "Xinhai Three Brothers".
Yu Yanong
On the eve of the Wuchang Uprising, Yu Yanong went to Hanyang to contact the Hubei New Army to revolt, and after returning to Hefei, he saw that his second brother Yu Danfu and Wang Yaqiao and others had established the Luzhou branch of the military government, so he immediately joined it.
After the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government, Yu Yanong was promoted to commander of the All-Pepper People's Army, and later became the chief of the training department of Bai Wenwei's 1st Army.
During the Second Revolution, Yu Yanong accompanied Zhang Huitao and others to escort Sun Yat-sen to Shanghai, where he was reunited with Wang Yaqiao, who was wanted by the Anhui warlords and fled to Shanghai, after which the two formed a secret organization in Shanghai to participate in the anti-Yuan Protector Movement.
In July 1914, Yu Yanong was summoned by Sun Yat-sen to tokyo to attend the Chinese Revolutionary Party Congress, and after returning to Shanghai, he and Wang Yaqiao secretly built bombs in Wendri, Lüban Road, Shanghai, preparing to blow up the Shanghai Police Department, and then raise an incident. However, because they were not proficient in bomb making, they accidentally detonated explosives, resulting in serious injuries to Yu Yanong's face and legs, and the explosion also attracted the French Concession patrol house, and Yu Yanong was detained for three months before being released.
In 1917, during the Dharma Protection Movement, Yu Yanong went to Yunnan to serve as a staff officer of the Xiashu Tang Brigade of the Dian Army, and in 1922 he participated in Sun Yat-sen's Eastern Expedition and served as a battalion commander in Xu Chongzhi's department, after which Yu Yanong followed Fang Zhenwu, a fellow villager in Shou County, Anhui Province, on the Northern Expedition for many years, and in the Northern Expedition in 1926, he joined Fang Zhenwu in joining Chiang Kai-shek's 1st Army and was appointed commander of the 89th Division of the 34th Army.
After the victory of the Northern Expedition, Chiang Kai-shek used his usual means of downsizing, eliminated dissent, and vigorously stripped Fang Zhenwu, chairman of the Anhui Provincial Government, of his military power, and Yu Yanong was also demoted to brigade commander and stationed in Anqing. Soon after, Chiang Kai-shek sent his own fang ce, commander of the 6th Division, to Bao Gang, commander of the 45th Division of Anhui, with the intention of weakening Fang Zhenwu's influence in Anhui, and in order to prevent Fang Zhenwu from mutiny, he also tricked Fang Zhenwu into putting him under house arrest in Nanjing.
Bao Gang was furious and raised an army against Chiang Kai-shek in Wuhu, while Yu Yanong detained Fang Ce, commander of the 6th Division, who had been ordered to "point the order" in Anqing, and led his troops to rebel and respond to the anti-Chiang Kai-shek, but was soon defeated by Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army at Wuzu Mountain.
Because Chiang Kai-shek learned of the assassination activities of Wang Yaqiao, Yu Yanong, and others, and offered a heavy reward to Wang Yaqiao and the "Four King Kongs", they had to seek help from Hu Hanmin and fled to Hong Kong.
At this time, Wang Yaqiao heard that the Red Army's Long March was successful, and had the intention of defecting to Yan'an, and in April 1936, he sent Yu Yanong to Yan'an to contact, in Yan'an, Yu Yanong received warm hospitality, Zhou Enlai and other CPC leaders all welcomed the arrival of Wang Yaqiao and others, and when they left, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, and others specially went out of their way for him, and when Yu Yanong returned to Wuzhou, Guangxi, he learned that Wang Yaqiao had died in the assassination of secret agents.
Wang Yaqiao
At this time, the Outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yu Yanong returned to Anhui, organized the Northern Anhui People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army, served as the commander of the 5th Road, and later actively participated in the War of Resistance and assisted in the Battle of Crossing the River, and after liberation, successively served as a member of the East China Military and Political Committee, a member of the Anhui Provincial Government, and a vice governor.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="102" >2, Yu Likui, planned the "Thorn Song", "Thorn Jiang", "Thorn Wang" and other earth-shattering cases, and was imprisoned for 12 years</h1>
Born in 1889 in Feidong County, Anhui Province, Yu Likui graduated from the Anhui Army Lecture Hall at the age of 21, and in the New Army, he joined the League and participated in the Xinhai Revolution and the Yuan War.
In 1924, Yu Likui served as the brigade commander of the Independent Brigade of the Founding Xiang Army, participated in the Crusade against Chen Jiongming, and was already the commander of the 1st Division of the 48th Army of the National Revolutionary Army during the Northern Expedition.
In 1929, Yu Likui participated in the "Three Route Army Against Chiang Kai-shek" operation organized by Wang Yaqiao, directly attacked Nanjing along the Beijing-Shanghai line, and was captured and imprisoned in an army prison with General Fang Zhenwu. After his release from prison in 1931, he was appointed commander of the anti-Chiang Kai-shek Army in Guangzhou, and after another failure, Yu Likui threw himself into Wang Yaqiao's men and organized many earth-shattering assassination cases, the main target of which was directed at Chiang Kai-shek, and he "stabbed Chiang Kai-shek" five times, and the last time because of the attempted assassination of Chiang Kai-shek, the assassination of Wang Jingwei was changed to the assassination of Wang Jingwei, and the news sensationalized the whole country.
In June 1931, shortly after Yu Likui was released from prison, he accepted Wang Yaqiao's orders, and when Chiang Kai-shek went to Lushan to escape the summer, he sent the killer Chen Cheng to ambush him on the side of the steep mountain road of Taiyi Peak, just as Chen Cheng was aiming at Chiang Kai-shek riding a sliding pole, a large number of dark guards appeared in the bamboo forest behind Chen Cheng, very close to where he was hiding, in order to seize the opportunity, Chen Cheng had to shoot from a distance, but too far away, this shot did not hit Chiang Kai-shek, but injured the Ming guards in front of Chiang Kai-shek, and the dark guards found the fire point and rushed up. Chen Cheng was beaten into a sieve on the spot, and this was the first time lushan stabbed Jiang.
Yu Likui
Ten days later, Yu Likui sent Zheng Baozhen and other killers disguised as journalists, taking advantage of the opportunity of the nationwide petition for student representatives to go to Nanjing to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek, and mixed into the auditorium of the Central Military Academy in Nanjing, intending to carry out assassination, and after entering the auditorium, he found that the rostrum was far away from the crowd, the guard next to it was tight, and the auditorium was crowded with student representatives, so Yu Likui gave up the plan.
Due to the two attempted assassination attempts, Wang Yaqiao ordered Yu Likui to arrange for the assassination of Song Ziwen at the Shanghai North Railway Station, but unexpectedly, Song Ziwen and the secret Tang Ziwen appeared in white suits at the same time, and the killers killed Tang Ziwen by mistake, and Song Ziwen was frightened to hide behind the pillar and escaped the disaster as soon as he heard the gunshots.
In 1932, Wang Yaqiao's plan to assassinate Li Dun, the head of the League of Nations Investigation Mission, failed, and the arrested killer confessed the plan of Wang Yaqiao, Yu Likui, and others to assassinate Jiang, Chiang Kai-shek was so frightened that he ordered a heavy bounty for the arrest of Wang Yaqiao and the four King Kongs.
However, Yu Likui was not willing to let Chiang Kai-shek go in this way, and in cooperation with another "King Kong" Hua Kezhi, he set up the "Chenguang News Agency" in Nanjing, disguised the old ministry as a journalist, in an attempt to seek an opportunity to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek. In the spring of 1935, he infiltrated the base of the Lushan Officer Training Regiment, but could only give up due to too strict vigilance.
In 1935, after careful planning, Wang Yaqiao sent Sun Fengming, disguised as a reporter, to infiltrate the scene of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Fourth Central Committee of the Kuomintang, but unexpectedly, Chiang Kai-shek did not appear in the auditorium for a group photo that day, and Sun Fengming temporarily changed his plan to shoot Wang Jingwei, the second-ranking figure of the Kuomintang.
The assassination incident caused a sensation throughout the country, Chiang Kai-shek knew that Wang Jingwei had acted as his own substitute ghost, and ordered Dai Kasa to personally go out on horseback to Hong Kong to arrest Wang Yaqiao, because Dai Kasa sent undercover agents to work in Wang Yaqiao's brother's shop, taking advantage of Wang Yaqiao, Yu Likui, and others to hold a meeting with a large number of military command agents to round up, Wang Yaqiao cleverly escaped, but Yu Likui was arrested and imprisoned, Dai Kasa bought the Hong Kong Government with heavy money, extradited Yu Likui to Nanjing, and soon sentenced him to death, Dai Kasa wanted to use him to lure Wang Yaqiao out, so he did not kill him for a long time. Instead, he lured Yu Likui's concubine Yu Wanjun in Hong Kong to Guangxi for help, and eventually killed Wang Yaqiao.

Yu Likui spent 12 years in prison until he was released in 1948.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yu Likui was introduced by Li Jishen to become a standing committee member of the Nanjing branch of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, and returned to his hometown in Anhui in 1951, where he served as a member of the Anhui Provincial Government, a member of the Standing Committee of the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy secretary-general, until his death in 1967.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="101" >3, Walkerzhi, graduated from Jinling University's Kuomintang "Youth Minister", resolutely abandoned the dark and cast the light</h1>
Hua Kezhi, who was mainly responsible for the operation under Wang Yaqiao, was not from the military like the other three King Kongs, but a full-fledged scholar.
Walkerzhi is a Baoying person in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, the youngest and longest-lived of the "Four King Kongs".
Walker's family was well-off, intelligent since childhood, and when he was still studying in Anyi High School, he already admired Sun Yat-sen's democratic revolutionary theory very much, and after being admitted to the First Middle School in Jiangsu Province, he soon secretly joined the Kuomintang, and soon after he was escorted to Jinling University, he became the secret backbone of the Kuomintang Nanjing Municipal Party Department and one of the leaders of the Nanjing Municipal Federation of Students.
Walker's
After the Northern Expedition occupied Nanjing, the 25-year-old Hua Kezhi became the youth minister of the Kuomintang Nanjing Party Department, and when he saw that he could soar to the top, Hua Kezhi, who was a leftist faction of the Kuomintang, saw Chiang Kai-shek betraying Sun Yat-sen's instructions and launched a counter-revolutionary coup, indignantly rebuked him, and was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek, and was later released from prison on bail by several Kuomintang elders.
After his release from prison, Walker did not change his original intention and resolutely did not compromise with Chiang Kai-shek, but followed Wang Yaqiao and resolutely opposed Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1929, after Hua Kezhi moved to Shanghai, he gathered with several Leftists of the Kuomintang and underground members of the Communist Party of China to discuss the way to save the country, and finally decided that "Qing Father is not dead, Lu is not dead", and is determined to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek.
After several attempts to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Yaqiao was forced to flee to Hong Kong, and Walker returned to his base camp in Nanjing, where he laid out a long-term plan; he set up a "Chenguang News Agency" in Lujia Lane, Nanjing, personally serving as its president, and after half a year of building, he published a large number of news reports. You can also attend various receptions.
In this way, Walkerzhi's men can use their press cards to sell well in the major venues of the Kuomintang and can follow many political leaders.
But this is still far from their real target, Chiang Kai-shek.
In December 1934, when the Kuomintang held the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fourth Central Committee in Nanjing, Sun Fengming, Hua Kezhi's most trusted killer and director of the news agency, took a gun for the first time to interview and prepare to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek, but he was not fully prepared, and Chiang Kai-shek quickly left the press conference, and the assassination on the same day could not be carried out.
In 1935, after Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei made peace, the Kuomintang held the Sixth Plenary Session of the Fourth Central Committee, and this time, Sun Fengming was already very familiar with the kuomintang's meeting process: first the members of the Central Committee went to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum to pay their respects, and then returned to the Central Party Department on Hunan Road to hold the opening ceremony.
Sun Fengming decided to take advantage of the opportunity of the opening ceremony to take a group photo, gathered in front of the group photo crowd and pretended to take pictures, assassinating Chiang Kai-shek, who was close at hand.
When Sun Fengming entered the venue on November 1, he had in his pocket a six-shot Spanish small revolver that Walker had given him, and the gun contained six poison-feeding bullets.
Soon it was time for group photos, and the suspicious Chiang Kai-shek saw that the scene was chaotic that day, the number of people taking photos was too large, and on the pretext of being unwell, he hid in the lounge and did not come out, and there were Lin Sen, Zhang Jingjiang, Sun Ke, Dai Jitao, Yan Xishan, Zhang Xueliang and others sitting in the first row.
At this time, the reporters were already standing in a semicircle in front of the photographers, approaching to take news photos, and after the group photo was over, some members of the committee had already turned to leave, and Sun Fengming knew that the opportunity that had been planned for more than a year could not be missed, and temporarily decided to retreat to the second place and assassinate Wang Jingwei, who had just ratified the "He Mei Agreement" and other traitorous treaties.
So he flashed out of the pressgroup, shouted three times, "Down with the traitor," and fired three shots at Wang Jingwei, who was standing in the front row. Although the three poison bombs did not kill Wang Jingwei on the spot, they caused Wang Jingwei to be poisoned and die in Japan nine years later.
Wang Jingwei, who was shot and injured
The next day, Sun Fengming, who was seriously injured and died, died in the hospital, and did not reveal the truth until his death, saying only that it was his own personal behavior. The assassination shook China and the country, and more than 100 people related to the Chenguang News Agency were arrested, most of whom were brutally killed. Walker was arrested with a reward of 50,000 oceans, and could only disguise himself, put on dentures, wear thick glasses, and move around.
Once, he pretended to be a small trader and went to send off his old friend Hu Yungong who was going to Japan, but unexpectedly blurted out a sentence of English in public during dinner, which aroused the suspicion of the drinkers at the same table, attracted a large number of spies, and caused Hu Yungong to be locked up for a period of time.
On the first anniversary of the Assassination Of Wang case, Hua Kezhi was deeply saddened to see that a large number of comrades-in-arms and old subordinates had been implicated and killed, and because Chiang Kai-shek deliberately spread rumors that the Assassination was committed by the Communist Party, Hua Kezhi specially wrote a "Letter to compatriots in the Whole Country" and printed hundreds of copies under his real name, telling the planning process of the Assassination Case, wanting to take all the responsibility, and sending it to Yan'an.
It turned out that Walker deeply felt that assassination was not an effective means to deal with Chiang Kai-shek, and after seeing that a large number of comrades-in-arms had been killed and even Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the Axe Gang, had been killed by the military command, he deeply reflected on it and planned to accept the organizational leadership of the Communist Party to transform and save China.
Hua Kezhi came to Yan'an, but because of his superior talent and ability to conceal and assassinate, he was sent back to Shanghai, and under the leadership of Pan Hannian, he engaged in secret front work in Shanghai, Hong Kong and other occupied areas, and obtained a lot of intelligence from Zhou Fohai.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hua Kezhi was appointed vice minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the State Council, and later implicated in the "Pan Hannian Case", he was imprisoned for 11 years, was sent to labor for 10 years, in 1979, the 77-year-old Walkerzhi was rehabilitated, until his death at the age of 96, in twenty years, he wrote a large number of articles recalling the past, which can be called a century legend.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="103" >4, Zheng Baozhen: From Assassin to Commander of the New Fourth Army Column, the first mayor of Hefei</h1>
Zheng Baozhen, like Yu Yanong, is also a native of ShouXian County, Anhui Province, born poor, in 1924, Zheng Baozhen followed his eldest brother Zheng Shaocheng to Shanghai, joined Wang Yaqiao's "Axe Gang", because of his shrewd ability, he soon became one of Wang Yaqiao's "Four King Kongs", mainly responsible for the internal and external relations of assassination activities, action planning and custody of weapons, etc., in the Songhu War of Resistance, the assassination of Song Ziwen, the assassination of Wang Jingwei, the Hongkou Park bombing case have made a lot of contributions, is Wang Yaqiao's most powerful subordinate.
Zheng Baozhen
In 1934, when Wang Yaqiao was arrested by Chiang Kai-shek for a reward of one million oceans, Zheng Baozhen was also rewarded with a reward of half a million oceans, which was much higher than the reward for the arrest of the Red Army general Zhu De and others at that time, which shows how afraid Chiang Kai-shek was of them.
On October 20, 1936, after Wang Yaqiao was assassinated by military agents, Zheng Baozhen and his wife, who were also in Wuzhou, hurriedly snatched Wang Yaqiao's body and bought a coffin to bury it in Nizhuang, Wuzhou.
After the July 7 Incident, Zheng Baozhen returned to his hometown of Shou County, where he had been away for many years, organized the establishment of the second detachment of the Northern Anhui People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army, and Zheng Baozhen, who served as the commander of the detachment, planned many attacks on the Japanese army, and in October 1938, Zheng Baozhen resolutely accepted the leadership of the New Fourth Army, was appointed as the column leader of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column in Huainan, and joined the Communist Party in 1940.
After that, Zheng Baozhen marched south to the North for many years, served as the deputy commander of the Jiangbei guerrilla column of the New Fourth Army, cooperated with the main force to counter-sweep and anti-friction, opened up wasteland in the jinpu Luxi area, insisted on fighting, and the local town of Lotang showed a rare prosperous scene because of the long-term large-scale production campaign and communist ideological propaganda, known as the "Little Moscow" in Jiangbei.
In February 1943, Zheng Baozhen, who had shown his talent in administrative management, was transferred to the Jinpu Luxi Office as a commissioner, bid farewell to the military brigade, was responsible for local governance, and after the victory of the War of Resistance, he also served as the commissioner of the Fourth Administrative Region of Central China, and was responsible for transferring cadres, workers and families at all levels in the area of Jinpu Road West, Northern Jiangsu, Shandong and Tonghua in the northeast for many times to ensure logistical work.
After the liberation of Hefei on January 21, 1949, the Hefei Municipal Government was formally established, zheng Baozhen, who was still in Shandong, was appointed as the first mayor of Hefei, he rushed back to Hefei overnight, the car accidentally flipped into the river of Yanjiaqiao in Dingyuan County, his face was full of blood, many injuries, and even his glasses fell into the river, and Zheng Baozhen still rushed to Hefei with injuries to preside over the work, and with his proficiency in assassination activities, in a short period of time, he quickly cracked the hidden secret service organizations and radios in Hefei.
In 1952, Anhui Province was officially established as a province, Zheng Baozhen was appointed as the first secretary-general of Anhui Province, due to overwork, in 1954, Zheng Baozhen died of esophageal cancer in Shanghai Huadong Hospital, at the age of 57.
Behind Wang Yaqiao, the "Four Great Kongs" of the Axe Gang invariably chose to cooperate with the Communist Party to oppose Chiang Kai-shek and the reactionary government together, which was the inheritance of Wang Yaqiao's legacy and the continuation of Wang Yaqiao's consistent efforts to save the country and love democracy.
Therefore, Mao Zedong once praised Wang Yaqiao:
"There is no crime in killing the enemy, and there is merit in resisting Japan." Subsections are under-checked, and major events are not confused. Whoever creates tragedy for China will create tragedy for whom. The story of this man deserves to be written into history. ”
