On December 12, 1936, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng detained Chiang Kai-shek in Xi'an to launch the Xi'an Incident that shocked China and foreign countries, and sent a telegram to the whole country, demanding that the civil war be stopped and united to resist Japan.
In this way, a situation of all-out resistance against Japan was formed.
After the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang insisted on sending Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing, which eventually led to his long-term detention. As for Yang Hucheng, he was first arranged to go abroad for investigation, and after the 77 Incident, Yang Hucheng returned to China and was detained by Chiang Kai-shek under house arrest, which was 12 years.
On the eve of the liberation of Chongqing in 1949, Mao Renfeng ordered the execution of Yang Hucheng, and then Yang Hucheng's secretary and a group of 8 people were executed by Kuomintang agents at the Daigong Temple in Chongqing.
The execution of Yang Hucheng immediately caused the military commanders to be condemned by the whole country, and they demanded the arrest of relevant people involved in the killing of Yang Hucheng.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, except for Mao Renfeng, who fled to Taiwan, those who participated in the execution of Yang Hucheng were arrested one after another and received due legal punishment.
Among them, Zhou Yanghao and Xu Yuanju were captured by our army and sent to Gongdelin for reform.
As for other people directly involved in the execution of Yang Hucheng, they were all sentenced to death, including Zhang Jingfu, Yang Hucheng's accompanying doctor, who was arrested in Yunnan after the liberation and sentenced to death for "participating in the killing of Yang Hucheng" one year ago, Zhang Jingfu was executed, and his wife Zeng Qingyun did not say much.
But 34 years after Zhang Jingfu's death, Shen Zui said in books such as "The Inside Story of Military Command" that Zhang Jingfu participated in and killed General Yang Hucheng, and Zhang Jingfu's wife Zeng Qingyun wrote a letter to Shen Zui, expressing different views.
1. When Yang Hucheng was killed, Zhang Jingfu and she were in Guiyang and were not in Chongqing, so Zhang Jingfu definitely did not participate in the killing of Yang Hucheng.
2. Zhang Jingfu participated in Lu Han's uprising in Yunnan and made certain contributions.
The reason why Zeng Qingyun wrote this letter was that he hoped that Shen Zui would see that Zhang Jingfu was once his subordinate, and return him to his innocence.
So, what is this matter, why did Zhang Jingfu not cry out for injustice when he was censored and executed, and died like this, and whether Zhang Jingfu participated in the Luhan Yunnan Uprising, let's talk about this matter today.
Before the liberation of Chongqing, the Kuomintang spies brutally killed the patriotic general Yang Hucheng, and two months after Yang Hucheng was killed, Chongqing announced its surrender, and the People's Liberation Army immediately conducted a large-scale thorough investigation of the Kuomintang spies in the city.
At this time, Shen Zui, the person in charge of the Yunnan Station of the Secret Bureau, was also detained by Long Yun.
Soon after being detained, Shen Zui expressed his willingness to surrender, and in order to show his sincerity, Shen Zui exposed many secretaries of military commanders, including the process of General Yang Hucheng's killing.
The reason why Shen Zui thinks that Zhang Jingfu killed Yang Hucheng is mainly because after Yang Hucheng was killed that year, he asked him to go to Chongqing to receive a bounty, and it is precisely for this reason that Shen Zui will conclude that Zhang Jingfu participated in the killing of General Yang Hucheng.
Although this incident was not the key evidence for the killing of Yang Hucheng, it also played a decisive role in the subsequent Ding'an.
Over the next three years, all those involved in the murder of General Yang Hucheng were subjected to strict interrogation, and all confessed to the crimes they had committed, and all the murderers who participated in the tragedy were executed except those who fled to Taiwan.
This matter can be finalized so far, many people, including Shen Zui, regard this Zhang Jingfu as the main murderer who participated in the killing of General Yang Hucheng, Shen Zui once published such a book "The Inside Story of the Military Command" in his later years, in which Shen Zui wrote a lot of things back then, including a paragraph about Zhang Jingfu's participation in the killing of General Yang Hucheng.
This book was very popular back then, Zeng Qingyun also bought a copy to read, and when he saw the content of the book, he unconsciously remembered the past that made her sad.
When she saw that her husband Zhang Jingfu was described as one of Yang Hucheng's murderers in the book, Zeng Qingyun couldn't bear it all of a sudden, so she mustered up the courage to write a letter to Shen Zui, the main content of the letter was that her husband Zhang Jingfu did not participate in the killing of Yang Hucheng back then, and when Lu Han rebelled, Zhang Jingfu also made a certain contribution, but you regarded yourself Zhang Jingfu as one of the murderers of General Yang Hucheng in "Military Command Insider", I think this move is very inappropriate.
The fundamental reason why she cried out for her husband Zhang Jingfu was that she was guilty of killing General Yang Hucheng, which caused her and her family great suffering. So she wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the central government to settle unjust, false and wrongful cases, hoping that the country can re-investigate this matter thoroughly and return her husband and family to innocence.
After receiving this letter, Shen Zui couldn't sleep all night, and it was difficult that there was a misunderstanding in this matter, so in order to consider it carefully, Shen Zui wrote a letter to the local government, hoping to investigate this matter well.
After the smooth liberation of Chongqing that year, the central government received bad news.
General Yang Hucheng, who participated in the Xi'an Incident with General Zhang Xueliang, was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek for 12 years before being murdered by Kuomintang agents on the eve of the liberation of Chongqing.
After this news came out, the whole country was very indignant, and after the masses reported that General Yang Hucheng's body was found, and the murder of General Yang Hucheng shocked the whole country, and for a time the whole country demanded a thorough investigation of this matter and the handling of all the murderers who participated in this incident.
After several years of investigation and arrest, those involved in the killing of General Yang Hucheng were arrested one after another, including Zhang Jingfu.
Zhang Jingfu was born in Taiyuan, Shanxi, after graduating from Shanxi Provincial Medical College in 1937, he joined the military training class as a hospital, and two years later he was sent to General Yang Hucheng and became his personal doctor. After that, he stayed with General Yang Hucheng until General Yang Hucheng's death, and after General Yang Hucheng was killed, more than a dozen people, including Zhang Jingfu, were regarded as meritorious heroes and went to Chongqing to receive a bounty.
Although it is possible that Zhang Jingfu did not directly participate in the process of killing General Yang Hucheng, the relevant events mean that he is inseparable from the killing of General Yang Hucheng.
It is precisely for this reason that Shen Zui will report to the public security organs after the liberation that Zhang Jingfu had been involved in this matter.
Soon after, Zhang Jingfu was arrested and executed the following year, thus bringing the killing of General Yang Hucheng to an end. In the following 30 years, no one appealed, and it was precisely for this reason that Zhang Jingfu was more certain that Zhang Jingfu was one of the murderers of this incident, so in some cases or books about General Yang Hucheng in the future, Zhang Jingfu was regarded as the murderer of this case.
Sun Chuan, head of the Yunnan General Office in charge of reviewing old historical cases, took over the case.
After taking over the case, he contacted Zeng Qingyun as soon as he learned about some of the circumstances of the year.
If you want to understand whether Zhang Jingfu was wronged, there are two key points, that is, when Yang Hucheng was killed, Zhang Jingfu was there, and another is whether Zhang Jingfu participated in the uprising that year.
Therefore, he needs to understand Zeng Qingyun, and at the same time conduct a review based on some materials from that year, but it will definitely be difficult to overturn this case based on Zeng Qingyun's words alone, so in addition to this, it is necessary to find evidence that is favorable to Zhang Jingfu.
Back then, the fundamental reason why Chiang Kai-shek wanted to kill Yang Hucheng was that he didn't want Yang Hucheng to be rescued by our party, so he planned to strike first.
In order to be able to dispose of Yang Hucheng quietly, they must transfer Yang Hucheng from Qilin Cave in Guizhou to Chongqing, so that the time, place and people are suitable for them.
At this time, if General Yang Hucheng is forcibly brought to Chongqing, it will definitely arouse the alarm of General Yang Hucheng, and at the same time, it may be discovered by our party, in order to successfully complete this task, Mao Renfeng thought of Zhang Jingfu, and he hoped to lure him to Chongqing through Zhang Jingfu.
After Zhang Jingfu came to General Yang Hucheng's side, he stayed with him, so General Yang Hucheng's family trusted Zhang Jingfu very much, Zhang Jingfu found several excuses after receiving Mao Renfeng's instructions, and deceived General Yang Hucheng to Chongqing, and this move also led to the killing of Yang Hucheng's family.
From this point, it can be seen that if Zhang Jingfu hadn't gone out in person, it would have been impossible for Yang Hucheng to let down his guard and come to Chongqing at that time.
After seeing these materials, Sun Chuan was also very depressed, he felt that this matter existed, and there was no need for the family to investigate this matter.
However, in order to thoroughly investigate this matter, return Zhang Jingfu's innocence, and give Yang Hucheng a look, Sun Chuan decided to continue to investigate this matter.
The reason why Sun Chuan dared to investigate was mainly because Zhang Jingfu's name was in the list of those who participated in Yunnan Toucheng, and it was precisely for this reason that Sun Chuan felt that Zhang Jingfu might have only participated in this matter and was not the mastermind, so it was necessary for him to continue to investigate this case.
In order to better investigate this case, Sun Chuan came to Beijing and met Shen Zui to learn more details about this incident back then.
Soon Sun Chuan saw Shen Zui, and after some memories of Shen Zui, he remembered the past, Shen Zui received the secret execution of Yang Hucheng's family on September 30, 1949, and the relevant participants have been disbanded.
Then, Mao Renfeng asked these people to come to Chongqing to receive the reward, and Zhang Jingfu was on the list of these rewards, and it was also for this reason that Shen Zui felt that Zhang Jingfu was the mastermind of this matter.
Although Shen Zui had his thoughts on this matter, Sun Chuan saw a little difference from this matter, because the fundamental reason why Shen Zui regarded Zhang Jingfu as the murderer of Yang Hucheng was to draw conclusions through Mao Renfeng's telegram.
On this trip to Beijing, Shanghai as a whole was good, because there was no relevant evidence to prove that Zhang Jingfu was at the scene.
After that, Sun Chuan began to go to various places to investigate whether the passive team led by Zhang Jingfu was all involved in the case, in order to find key evidence, Sun Chuan called up the files of all the personnel of Zhang Jingfu's special team that year, and conducted a gradual investigation, those who had been shot, fled overseas, and those whose whereabouts were unknown were excluded, and then he began to gradually investigate the remaining people.
Then, Sun Chuan spent a lot of time to go to various places to investigate the truth of the matter, and after some careful investigation, Sun Chuan finally determined one thing, that is, Zhang Jingfu was not the murderer of this matter.
The reason why he was so sure was that although Zhang Jingfu was a Kuomintang spy at that time, he couldn't get close to the inner circle, so he couldn't be polluted by the messy things at the top.
It is precisely because he has not been polluted that he maintains his original intention of kindness, so he is very sympathetic to the plight of Yang Hucheng's family, so in daily life, he can take care of him and do his best to take care of it, during this period, he handled the funeral for Yang Hucheng's wife, and also taught Yang Hucheng's children to study.
It was precisely because of the impact of this incident that the military commanders became suspicious of Zhang Jingfu, so they removed him from his post and imprisoned him.
It is for this reason that Yang Hucheng trusts Zhang Jingfu very much.
It was also for this reason that Mao Renfeng saw a breakthrough, so he found Zhang Jingfu and told Zhang Jingfu that if he could lure Yang Hucheng to Chongqing, he could be reinstated.
Zhang Jingfu was completely attracted by Mao Renfeng's conditions, so he found Yang Hucheng and lured him to Chongqing, General Yang Hucheng agreed to Zhang Jingfu and came to Chongqing, and he was killed by Kuomintang agents for this reason.
Later, Mao Renfeng specially rewarded this matter, although Zhang Jingfu was in this list, he only took a few silver dollars, if he was a participant in this matter, a few silver dollars were obviously too few.
Regarding this matter, Shen Zui has his own statement, he once explained in this matter, Zhang Jingfu received 7 gold bars and 4,600 silver dollars as the main participant, of which the main executors Zhou Yanghao, Wang Shaoshan and others have 200 silver dollars, and others have 150 silver dollars and 50 silver dollars.
The main reason why Zhang Jingfu was able to receive several times more expenses than others was that during this trip to Chongqing, he not only had to receive the bonus of the special forces, but also had to receive funds for the activities of the Yunnan Station of the Military Command.
From this, it can be seen that Zhang Jingfu did not gain much benefit in this matter.
Later, Sun Chuan found the confession of Yang Jinxing, the murderer who participated in the murder of General Yang Hucheng, and this confession was about the process of this incident, and Zhang Jingfu's name was not mentioned in the process.
Yang Jinxing, as a heinous spy, hid incognito for many years after liberation, and was not arrested until 1955.
In order to survive, Yang Jinxing was arrested, and began to confess all the crimes and accomplices, there is no list of Zhang Jingfu in this list, it can be seen from this incident that Zhang Jingfu is not a very important role in the murder of Yang Hucheng, and the reason why 14 people will be rewarded is that there were 14 people who took care of General Yang Hucheng back then, and 6 of these 14 people participated in the process of killing General Yang Hucheng.
From here, it can be seen that the confession of Yang Jinxing, a participant, is obviously more convincing than that of Shen Zui, a bystander.
The fundamental reason why Zhang Jingfu was quickly sentenced to death that year was that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the law was not perfect, so in some matters, he was not investigated in depth, but directly convicted him just by relying on Zhang Jingfu's confession, and Zhang Jingfu was also sentenced to death after that.
After everything was straightened out, Sun Chuan thought that Zhang Jingfu was not the mastermind, and hoped to give him back his innocence, and soon Sun Chuan submitted the relevant evidence, hoping that the court could retry the case of that year.
After some trial, the mistake was indeed discovered, so in 1989, the court revoked the verdict against Zhang Jingfu that year and returned Zhang Jingfu to a clean slate.
During this period, Shen Zui also received Sun Chuan's report, and after seeing the report, Shen Zui also regretted that he was very arbitrary to detain Zhang Jingfu for the crime of killing Yang Hucheng, and then Shen Zui invited Zhang Jingfu's wife and children to his home, personally apologized to them, and the two families also reached a settlement, and then Shen Zui revised the content of the book.
The case of Zhang Jingfu soon spread overseas, and some former Kuomintang personnel and their families sighed one after another: It is no wonder that our party defeated Lao Chiang in those years, and the fundamental reason was that it won the hearts and minds of the people and won the love of the people.
This incident is undoubtedly a great news for Zhang Jingfu's wife, Zeng Qingyun, because of his understanding and familiarity with her husband Zhang Jingfu, she will think that he is not a criminal person, so she will take the initiative to ask for a thorough investigation of this matter.
Later, after a careful investigation, Zhang Jingfu's reputation was finally restored, and Zhang Jingfu's descendants also returned to a peaceful life because of this incident.
