During the period of the Republic of China, when it came to the military command of the Kuomintang, everyone heard of it, because this was a spy organization that integrated assassination, surveillance, and kidnapping, and its power spread all over the country, and its reputation was known to the world.
What few people know is that in the military command, there is a special spy, this person became famous as a young man, deeply trusted by Dai Li, became a major general at the age of 28, although he had done some harmful things to the people, but after he died at the age of 82, he was buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery.
The Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery is the first national cemetery on the mainland, built by Premier Zhou Enlai himself, and is a cemetery for the burial of revolutionary comrades.
The young man was ambitious and was appreciated by Dai Li
This person's name is Shen Zui, a native of Xiangtan, Hunan, born in 1914, when he was 18 years old, Shen Zui was expelled from school because of the school tide with his senior classmates, he had no choice but to go to Shanghai and defect to his brother-in-law Yu Lexing.
Yu Lexing is not a small person, he joined the Communist Party of China in the early years, and also went to France to work and study, and Zhou Enlai, Nie Rongzhen, Li Fuchun and others are acquainted, during the Great Revolution, Yu Lexing was also an instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy, and it was also during the school teaching period, he met Shen Jinghui, his sister Shen Jinghui, and the two knew each other and fell in love, and became a couple.
After the defeat of the Great Revolution, Yu Lexing broke away from the party organization, and after several changes, he became a friend of Dai Li.
In 1932, in order to strengthen his dictatorship, Chiang Kai-shek established the "China Revival Society", which was under the jurisdiction of four divisions of organization, propaganda, training, and spies.
Yu Lexing thus became the backbone of the secret service, when Shen Zui came to defect to Yu Lexing, Yu Lexing's status in the secret service was not low, and he easily arranged Shen Zui as the liaison of the secret service.
18-year-old Shen Zui didn't expect that his life would change dramatically because of joining the secret service.
When Dai Li first mastered the secret service, he was often looked down upon by others because of his lack of qualifications, and he also knew that the people in the "Fuxing Society" had "ghosts in their hearts", so he paid more attention to those young and malleable talents, and intoxication became his "goal"
Once Dai Li and Yu Lexing talked, Yu Lexing introduced Shen Zui to Dai Li, at this time Shen Zui was full of enthusiasm and passion, and he had not experienced social experience, just a simple-minded, witty and intelligent "young man", so Dai Li had the intention to cultivate Shen Zui, in order to cultivate Shen Zui into his personal "faithful disciple"
Shen Zui finally lived up to Dai Li's training, and he completely abandoned his previous ambition to "save the country" and became a conscientious spy instead.
Ten years later, at the age of 28, he became the youngest major general of the Military Command Bureau Chief of General Affairs.
Although he became a spy, he never forgot his mother's teachings
Shen Zui's mother is called Luo Skirt, she is a member of the famous poetry society in the late Qing Dynasty - Nanshe, is a very cultured woman, Shen Zui's name is one of the sentences she took according to Li Qingzhao's poem "Like a Dream Order": drunk and do not know the way back, return to the boat at night, and strayed into the depths of the lotus flower.
When he was a teenager, Shen Zui was deeply influenced by his mother and loved to read, and he later became witty and intelligent, which was also related to his mother's teachings.
Later, Shen Zui became a spy of the military command, but he never forgot his mother's teachings to him: a person can not be an official, but be a man.
In fact, when he was young, he was drunk and proud, a little arrogant, and he also felt guilty about his mother.
The duty of the military commander is to assassinate, kidnap, monitor, etc., Shen Zui as a spy, he naturally can't avoid it, once, Shen Zui was ordered to take his subordinates down to carry out the kidnapping mission, on the way, he met his mother, who looked like him, and called his name.
Shen Zui didn't want his mother to worry, so he scolded his mother in Shanghainese with a sentence of "Nong is blind", hearing this, Shen Zui's mother felt that she had seen the wrong person, and left directly, but Shen Zui was full of guilt in her heart.
Later, Shen Zui told Dai Li about this, and Dai Li praised him greatly, but Shen Zui's heart was deeply sorry for his mother.
In the autumn of 1949, Shen Zui served as the head of the Yunnan Station of the Kuomintang Secret Bureau, and Mao Renfeng, who was the director of the bureau at the time, sent a telegram asking him to secretly get rid of Yang Jie, the former president of the Kuomintang Army University.
At this time, Shen Zui still had hope for the Kuomintang in his heart and was about to plan a plan, but he was unexpectedly discovered by his mother, who scolded him on the spot: "I have been teaching you for many years that a person can not be an official, but a man........ You killed Yang Jie, how can I, the mother, meet his family..... I don't want you as a son, you go right away. ”
Hearing these words, Shen was drunk and guilty, he disobeyed Mao Renfeng's order for the first time and secretly let Yang Jie go.
In fact, it was precisely because he "left a line in everything" and let Yang Jie go that he was given the opportunity to be buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery later.
From a military commander spy to an uprising general
After the battle of crossing the Yangtze River, Nanjing, Shanghai and other places were liberated one after another, and Yunnan became the last stronghold of Chiang Kai-shek's stubborn resistance.
After Shen Zui let Yang Jie go, Mao Renfeng was furious, flew to Yunnan in person, and reprimanded Shen Zui in front of everyone.
Shen Zui felt that he had lost face, and his heart was full of resentment towards Mao Renfeng, and then Mao Renfeng told him that he was not allowed to leave Yunnan without Chiang Kai-shek's order, which made Shen Zui difficult to accept.
At this time, the People's Liberation Army is about to invade Yunnan, if he doesn't leave, won't he stay and give away his head?
Shen Zui thought about it, and then thought of Mao Renfeng's scolding of himself, he had the idea of assassinating Mao Renfeng, and soon, he sent someone to get a brown fine powder chronic poison prepared by the Yunnan ethnic minorities, and added it to coffee or tea, which was unrecognizable.
Just when Shen Zui was planning to assassinate Mao Renfeng, an incident happened that made Shen Zui speed up his pace.
Once, when Mao Renfeng was processing documents, the power suddenly went out, he accidentally knocked down the water, and in a fit of rage, he threw the fire on the drunk adjutant Yan Qisheng.
When Shen Zui learned about it, he was very angry in his heart, and he decided to poison Mao Renfeng immediately.
And Mao Renfeng is also a smart person, he knows that he may be poisoned by Shen Zui, so he decided to pretend to be pitiful and use gentle means against Shen Zui.
The next day, Mao Renfeng found Shen Zui, crying, and said, "Old Shen, you have treated me consistently all these years...... If Boss Dai had a spirit in the sky, he would smile at Jiuquan. ”
Shen Zui heard this, his heart softened, because he always regarded Dai Li as his "nobleman", so he missed the opportunity to poison this time, and when Mao Renfeng left, his temper came up again, he told Shen Zui: "You must stick to Yunnan, even if Lu Han has a mutation, you must not leave, either pull up your subordinates to fight guerrillas in the mountains, or surrender, and then wait for the opportunity to move." ”
Shen Zui immediately understood that everything was his own passion, it turned out that Mao Renfeng still wanted to kill him.
At this point, Shen Zui had to find a way back for himself.
With the liberation of Chongqing, the People's Liberation Army invaded Sichuan in a big way, and Lu Han, chairman of the Kuomintang Yunnan Province, felt that the matter could not be delayed any longer, so he immediately declared an uprising in Kunming and placed Zhang Qun, Shen Zui and others under house arrest.
Shen Zui had completely lost confidence in the Kuomintang at this time, so he signed the telegram of the uprising and also published the uprising broadcast.
As a big spy of the Kuomintang Military Command Bureau, Shen Zui was arrested by our army and imprisoned in Qincheng Prison, where he spent ten years.
In 1960, Shen Zui was amnesty, at this time after ten years of reform, he fully realized the "wrong path" in the first half of his life, under the care of Premier Zhou Enlai, he used his personal experience to write a large number of precious historical materials about the military system.
In 1980, when the relevant departments sorted out the materials, Shen Zui was designated as the general of the uprising and enjoyed the treatment of deputy ministers, and later, Shen Zui served as a member of the CPPCC for several sessions, which made Shen Zui "feel unprecedentedly happy"
In 1996, at the age of 82, Shen Zui passed away, because he made great contributions to the revolution in the second half of his life, so although he used to be a special agent of the military command, he was still specially approved and buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery.
epilogue
In this life, the decisions made when he was young are enough to affect the second half of his life, although Shen Zui has done a lot of harmful things to the people, but after transformation in the second half of his life, he began to make meritorious contributions to the people, it can be said that his thinking has undergone a drastic change.
From his experience, we can also understand that no matter how life is, it may be bumpy, maybe it is bumpy, maybe it is rough, maybe it is uneven, but there is always an opportunity to repent and make amends.
Life is in the world, and it is done and cherished.
