Wu Jingzhong does have his own person in history, and his status in the military command (secret bureau) is not low, if the military command is compared to the Dai dynasty, then Wu Jingzhong is equivalent to the governor of the northwest, the northeast, and the governor of Tianjin.
Of course, the military commander cannot be compared with the Jiang dynasty, but Wu Jingzhong can serve as the head of the region and the head of the first station as a "traitor", which is still relatively rare: Wu Jingzhong, formerly known as Wu Jingzhong, graduated from Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow and was just in time for the low tide of the revolution, so he joined Deng Wenyi's Nanchang camp investigation class with Xie Ligong, Yu Lexing, Cheng Yiming and others, and later joined the Fuxing Society's special service department with Dai Li as the director and Zheng Jiemin as the deputy director, and then rose step by step, and successively served as the head of the northwest region and the head of the northeast region of the military command. Tianjin Station Manager.
For example, Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao are the chief and deputy heads of the southwest region of the Secret Bureau, and nominally have jurisdiction over Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Kang (there was Xikang Province in those years) and other provincial stations, but at Yunnan Station and Guizhou Station, Xu and Zhou Erren could not command at all.
Shen Zui recalled in "Between People and Ghosts: Xu Yuanju's Spy Career": "After the establishment of the Southwest Special Zone of the Secret Bureau, it has always been in name only, because the stationmasters of the two provinces of Guizhou and Yunnan did not listen to his command. Chen Shixian, the head of the Guizhou station, who was also the commander of the Guiyang garrison at that time, the eldest brother who graduated from the second phase of Huangpu, had lectured in the special training class of the Honggong Temple in the past, and was Xu Yuanju's teacher. Xu Yuanju has never sent documents to me and Chen Shixian in the name of the head of the special zone, and Chen Shixian has still directly asked the secret bureau for instructions, and has never had any contact with the special zone. Xu Yuanju often went to Kunming, and he never asked about Yunnan Station. ”
Shen Zui didn't take the district chief in his eyes, because when Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao were in the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, their level was not as high as Shen Zui, although the three of them were called the "Three Musketeers of the Military Command", but Zhou Yanghao and Xu Yuanju have always been at odds with each other, and often need Shen Zui to mediate, so they are not even "friends", Shen Zui really can afford it, or the Wu Jingzhong, the head of the Tianjin Station of the Secret Bureau, that we are familiar with - Shen Zui mentioned Wu Jing's name (Jing) eighteen times in many memoirs and called him a good friend.
In Shen Zui's memoirs, Wu Jingzhong was called a friend at different stages: "Wu Jingzhong came to talk to me. He was a native of Hubei, a traitor who graduated from Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, and was a section chief at the Sino-Soviet Intelligence Cooperation Institute at that time...... The military command was located in the northwest region of Lanzhou, and the successive district chiefs Cheng Yiming, Wu Jingzhong, and Huo Liren had a good personal relationship with me. ”
Hu Zongnan was defeated in the northwest, Wu Jingzhong went to the northeast region as the district chief, and then Chen Cheng and Du Yuming were defeated again, Wu Jingzhong went, Jiang Jun failed there, and finally Lao Jiang's territory was lost too much, and the military commander (secret bureau) could openly operate the district chief and station chief, and the people who stayed in the liberated area were basically caught, and Wu Jingzhong saw that the situation was not good, so through the relationship between the two classmates, he was transferred to Tianjin Station as a major general stationmaster - although the provincial station looked half a block lower than the region, Tianjin was more "safe" , and more oil and water.
Wu Jingzhong was always able to find another job for himself before the defeat of Chiang's army, mainly because he had two tough backers, that is, Jiang Jianfeng, the successor of the old Chiang, and Zheng Jiemin, the last director of the Military Command, the first director of the Secrecy Bureau, the director of the Second Department of the "Ministry of National Defense", and the executive vice director of the "Ministry of National Defense".
Wu, Jiang and Zheng all entered Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow in 1925, Wu and Jiang were still in the same class, and they had always had a very good relationship - at that time, Xiao Jiang and Zheng were both sent by Lao Jiang, and Wu was sent by our side, so Shen Zui said more than once that his old friend Wu Jingzhong was a "traitor": "Some of the big spies selected by Dai Li to work in the Linli special training class are Xie Ligong...... Wu Jingzhong, these important responsible persons, are all traitors who once studied in the Soviet Union...... Dai Li once sent traitors Xie Ligong and Wu Jingzhong, who had studied in the Soviet Union, to serve as section chiefs of the Sino-Soviet Intelligence Institute, and the Soviet Union sent deputy section chiefs. ”
Zheng Jiemin and Dai Li, Mao Renfeng have contradictions, but as Zheng Jiemin's old classmate and descendant (the director of the Sino-Soviet Institute is Zheng Jiemin, and Wu Jingzhong is the chief of the General Affairs Section), Wu Jingzhong does not seem to make Dai Li and Mao Renfeng hateful, when Xiao Jiang "recommended" Wu Jingzhong to be the head of the Tianjin Station of the Secret Bureau, Mao Renfeng did not object at all.
Shen Zui mentioned many times in his memoirs that Dai Li and Mao Renfeng were disgusted and ruthless towards traitors, if there was no relationship with Xiao Jiang, Wu Jingzhong would not be the head of the region, but the head of the provincial station, and at most he would be a deputy. Among all the traitors, only those who came back from Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow will be reused, and the reason for this, of course, readers who are familiar with that period of history know - Xiao Jiang wants to set up his own secret agency, or the "old classmates" are more trustworthy, so he let those traitor classmates enter the upper echelons of the military command (secret bureau) so that he can fully control it in the future.
It is precisely because of the strong support of two backers that Wu Jingzhong can always run to a safer place before danger comes, while Li Weigong, the director of the "Northeast Supervision Department" in "Infiltration", can only self-judge - even if he is not played to death by Xu Zhongyi and Qi Gongzi, Chen Cheng can't spare him.
In fact, Chen Cheng's defeat in the Northeast, even if only the spies are held responsible, they can't throw the pot on the inspectorate, because at that time, there was also Wu Jingzhong, the head of the Northeast District of the Military Command, if the intelligence is not accurate, Wu Jingzhong should be the first to be responsible.
We don't know who Li Weigong's historical prototype is, but it is certainly not Wen Qiang, director of the Northeast Office of the Military Command Bureau and director of the Northeast Camp Supervision Office, and director of the Supervision Department of the Northeast Security Commander - Wen Qiang is indeed a lieutenant general of the military command, but he left the northeast after Dai Li's plane crash and went to Hunan to become the director of the office of the Changsha Sui Administration, and is preparing to be a military commander in the new army formed by Cheng Qian.
Wen Qiang is also an old friend of Wu Jingzhong, he left the Northeast, and the work of the spy was handed over to Wu Jingzhong, which is equivalent to Wen Qiang building a house and then giving it to Wu Jingzhong, and Wu Jingzhong failed to keep it.
Wu Jingzhong's two backers ran away, and two old friends entered the war criminals management center, and we saw Shen Zui appear in "Amnesty 1959" with his real name, the very stubborn Liu Anguo, the historical prototype is Wen Qiang, the deputy chief of staff and acting chief of staff of the "front command" of the "front command" who was captured in the Huaihai Campaign.
Why didn't Xiao Jiang and Lao Zheng take Wu Jingzhong with them when they fled, or they had already issued an order to Mao Renfeng and Wu Jingzhong hadn't received it yet, anyway, Wu Jingzhong in history abandoned his post and ran away on his own initiative, and as a result, he was arrested by Mao Renfeng as soon as he arrived in Nanjing.
Wu Jingzhong in the TV series was transferred to leave because of the implementation of the "Strait Plan", and Wu Jingzhong in the historical materials left without authorization, which is more reliable and is not necessarily: with Wu Jingzhong's connections, it is unlikely that he will be expelled from the military to be a businessman, and a major general spy like him must have a lot of secrets, how could the Jiang family father and son let him go to Hong Kong to be a rich man and not hunt him down?
Wu Jingzhong lived peacefully until 1983, during which Shen Zui and Wen Qiang both visited or passed through Hong Kong, but they did not see their old friend Wu Jingzhong, so we "mysteriously disappeared" from Wu Jingzhong There are two speculations: first, Wu Jingzhong, like Cheng Yiming (who returned from the mission in December 1964 and made his identity public), was a fake betrayal and really lurking, and in the end it was not exposed, and he could not go to see Wen Qiang Shen drunk out of work needs;
Of course, to say that Wu Jingzhong is a more advanced lurker than Emeifeng, or that Wu Jingzhong has become a secret spy entrusted by Xiao Jiang, is the author's speculation based on historical materials and TV dramas, and wise readers must have a more intelligent opinion: In your opinion, what kind of character is Wu Jingzhong? After he left Tianjin, where did he end up and what kind of tasks did he undertake?
