Sacrifice a Kuomintang agent and poison the head of the Japanese army that invaded China! This is the "Jinling Poisoned Liquor Case" that shocked China and the rest of the world!
However, no one could have imagined that a lowest-level agent who no one cared about and was unknown, a most ordinary little person in the Military Command Bureau, and a chess piece who was discarded at will after being used not only succeeded in poisoning the head of the Japanese army sitting firmly in the rear, but also achieved a complete retreat that was impossible in the eyes of everyone!
No one knows exactly how he did it. But in the face of everyone's curiosity, he just smiled mysteriously, never made a noise, and always lived a low-key life.
It wasn't until many years after his death that people finally restored the "Jinling Poisoned Liquor Case" completely in order to find out what to find out, but found that it was far more thrilling than we imagined!
poison
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, in addition to fighting desperately on the frontal battlefield, agents of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party also roamed behind enemy lines to lurk undercover in the battlefield behind enemy lines, obtain Japanese combat information, and assassinate Japanese leaders.
Among them, the task of assassinating the leaders of the Japanese army was obviously the most arduous and difficult, because the leaders of the Japanese army were all treated as endangered animals and protected by strict guards.
It wasn't until 1939 that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for assassination finally came.
In June of this year, the Military Command Bureau received information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Japanese Army that Shimizu, then vice minister of foreign affairs of Japan, would inspect the Consulate General in Nanjing on 9 June, and the Consulate General planned to hold a reception to welcome Vice Minister Shimizu on the evening of 10 June, and also invited the leaders of the Japanese army who were invading and occupying Nanjing, as well as the traitor leaders of the Japanese puppet government.
It can be said that on this night, the core leaders of the Japanese army invading China and their lackeys will gather together, and if they can be wiped out, they will definitely be able to disturb the morale of the Japanese army and bring great encouragement to the Chinese soldiers and civilians who fought hard at that time!
Therefore, when Dai Li, the head of the military command, learned of this, he immediately planned a poisoning case, but no matter how he planned, the final result must be at the expense of a Kuomintang agent!
After all, the Japanese army is not stupid, so many core leaders gather together, the security and security measures have to be increased layer by layer, not a single fly can fly in, and the food must be tested for poison before it is served!
Even if the assassination is really successful, if you want to escape with your whole body, it will be impossible at all!
However, why not die honorably for the sake of the country's enemies?
So when Dai Li proposed his plan, Lao Jiang agreed without hesitation, after all, this opportunity is too rare.
So, who should be chosen to carry out the "limit one for one"?
Dai Li quickly set his eyes on Zhan Changlin, who was working as a handyman in the Japanese consulate.
It is obviously cost-effective to replace a Japanese army leader with a mediocre miscellaneous servant, but the question is, Zhan Changlin has never received professional training, does he have the courage and ability to successfully complete the assassination mission? What's more, who can guarantee that Zhan Changlin, who does things for the Japanese, will obediently listen to them?
I saw that Dai Li transferred Zhan Changlin's file and read it carefully, and suddenly showed an appreciative look. So, what kind of special experience does Zhan Changlin have? As a Chinese, why did he run to serve tea and water to the Japanese?
In 1913, Zhan Changlin was born in a declining merchant family in Nanjing, although his father had developed, but in his own generation, due to the turbulence of the times, the family was bankrupt, and he was already extremely poor, so he had to find another way out.
But Zhan Changlin was lucky, at the age of fifteen, he was successfully selected into Chiang Kai-shek's "Imperial Forest Army" and served as the old Chiang Kai-shek's guard.
Because of his clever work, Zhan Changlin was soon asked by Yu Ji, the commander of the guard division, to stay by his side as a soldier, so he began to contact some jobs that served tea, delivered water, and ran errands.
It's a pity that within a few years, with the start of the Japanese war of aggression against China, Zhan Changlin also came to the most brutal front line of the War of Resistance under the influence of the times, and went through the tempering of the war. And this courage also laid the foundation for him to wander behind enemy lines in the future
So, how did Zhan Changlin go from a soldier fighting on the front line to a pawn who served tea and water to the Japanese?
It all started with a leave of absence to go home.
undercover
One day, Zhan Changlin, who was on the front line, suddenly received a letter from home, saying that his mother was critically ill and had no one to take care of him, and he hoped to see him for the last time.
Unexpectedly, his mother on the hospital bed took his hand and persuaded him to stay by his side with tears in her eyes, Zhan Changlin looked at her mother's haggard face, and then thought that she had been adrift for many years, and she had hardly done her filial piety in front of her mother for a day, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.
One is everyone, the other is a small family, after Zhan Changlin struggled and entangled, he still chose to compromise.
So since then, he has never returned to the army, but decided to find a stable job to make a living, and has traveled to many industries, serving plates and selling cloth, as long as he can make money, he will do anything.
However, in that era of chaos and exploitation, the people at the bottom struggled in a sea of suffering, and even if Zhan Changlin worked hard, it was always difficult to make a living.
In a blink of an eye, in 1934, Zhan Changlin, who was forced by life, came to the Japanese Consulate General in Nanjing to apply for a servant under the introduction of Wang Gaoke, the son of a tea friend of his father.
Such a job as a servant for the Japanese is naturally very undignified, but the salary conditions offered by the Japanese are extremely attractive, which can obviously alleviate the urgent need for Zhan Changlin, who is eager to support a large family, not to mention that Zhan Changlin's family lives very close to the Japanese consulate, and it is convenient to commute to work every day.
Zhan Changlin thought to himself, at least this job is only to serve tea and water, and he does not help the Japanese deal with his compatriots, so he is not a traitor, not to mention, the standard for the Japanese to recruit a slave is also quite high, and it is uncertain whether he can be selected or not.
You know, at that time, the Japanese consulate hired Chinese as employees, but there were many restrictions, full of vigilance, such as they would require applicants not to know Japanese, to prevent intelligence leakage, and to have close relatives to the Japanese as hostages, simply for fear that Chinese spies would get in.
But Zhan Changlin didn't know these specific requirements at the time, and thought about whether the fact that he had been a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War for six or seven years would be discovered by the Japanese, but who expected that he finally passed the interview with the Japanese in a daze and was successfully hired.
Zhan Changlin thought that the reason why the Japanese hired him was mainly because of his honest appearance and young age, but he did not know that the reason why Zhan Changlin was able to "sneak" into the Japanese consulate was actually a deliberate arrangement of the military commander.
Since the Japanese invasion of China, the military commander has been trying to send spies to penetrate into the Japanese army, but because the spies have been trained and shot for a long time, the calluses are all in the tiger's mouth, and the calluses of the ordinary people who often work are generally in the palm of their hands, so they are easily recognized by the Japanese army, resulting in the failure of the mission.
So Dai Li decided to directly help civilians blend into the ranks of the Japanese army, and then instigate and train them to rebel, so that they would not be recognized.
Therefore, Zhan Changlin only entered the embassy to work for ten days and half a month, and on the way home, he was suddenly stuffed with a small note, which read, "Tonight, in room 4 of the Gulou Hotel, there is a big man who wants to see you, and the stakes are very high." ”
Zhan Changlin came to the room as promised with apprehension, but what he saw was Zhao Shirui, who was the head of the foreign affairs team of the National Police Agency at the time.
I saw Zhao Shirui full of coercion, and said straight to the point: "Now is the national crisis, as a Chinese, you are doing things with the Japanese." ”
Hearing this, Zhan Changlin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and before he could explain, Zhao Shirui suddenly threw a pistol in front of him and said solemnly:
"Give you two paths, one to continue to do chores at the consulate, but you have to be our intelligence officer. The other way, you can raise your gun and apologize for your sins now! ”
No matter who it is, will obviously choose the former, and Zhan Changlin is naturally no exception.
So since then, he has been developed by the military commander into the No. 65 intelligence officer in Nanjing, under the pseudonym Yuan Lu, in addition to receiving a salary from the Japanese every month, he can also receive ten silver dollars from the military commander, and his life is naturally much easier.
However, in his spare time, Zhan Changlin also had to be trained by the military commander, and gradually learned how to steal letters, how to hand over intelligence, and write secret letters with alum and other agent skills.
When it's time to work, he uses these skills to clean the room, send and receive letters, serve tea and pour water, and peek at some top-secret information.
However, because Zhan Changlin is mainly responsible for transmitting intelligence, the skills he learned are relatively simple, and it is far from enough to assassinate the leader of the Japanese army.
However, before the implementation of the Jinling poisoned liquor case, Zhan Changlin still made a great contribution, and it was this great merit that directly promoted his immediate boss Zhao Shirui to a salary increase and became a major general.
And this great achievement is the famous Tibetan incident of the Republic of China.
make contributions
In 1934, Japan attempted to emulate the September 18 Incident of that year and exert diplomatic pressure on the Nationalist Government on the grounds that "the vice consul of the Japanese Consulate General disappeared", so as to launch a further war of aggression against China.
Therefore, the Japanese consul general instructed the soon-to-be-missing vice consul Hideaki Kuramoto to commit suicide in hiding so that he could frame the blame for the Nationalist Government.
The situation was suddenly extremely urgent, but fortunately, before Zhan Changlin witnessed the disappearance of the Tibetan book, he had taken a car and drove in the direction of the Purple Mountain, so he immediately reported the matter to Zhao Shirui.
Zhao Shirui immediately led the troops to block the Purple Mountain, and stayed awake for several days and nights, and finally found the collection book in time in a cave that was reluctant to commit suicide, which blocked the mouth of Youyou.
Although the Kuramoto incident did not serve as an excuse for the Japanese invaders, the aggressive ambitions of the Japanese invaders were still becoming more and more rampant, so the military commanders urgently needed more men to lurk and collect more information.
So in February 1936, Zhan Changlin also introduced his brother Zhan Changbing to the Japanese consulate as an undercover agent.
However, only the brothers themselves knew how much they hated the Japanese, especially after witnessing the crimes of the Nanjing Massacre launched by the Japanese army, the brothers were even more determined to avenge their compatriots!
It wasn't until 1939 that the most dangerous mission ever handed over to them, and they suddenly realized that the opportunity for revenge they had been waiting for had finally come.
This task is to poison the head of the Japanese army at the welcome party!
In order to make this welcome party a success, the Japanese Consulate General naturally began to prepare very early, so soon, Zhan Changlin was assigned to buy wine for the banquet.
At the same time, his elder brother Zhan Changbing also brought back a tube of highly toxic poison imported from the United States from the military commander, which can directly kill a person in just ten seconds as long as it enters a person's body in sufficient amounts.
Looking at this bottle of poison, Zhan Changlin was excited, but he also learned a serious news from his brother, that is, the organization hoped that after he was poisoned, he would also drink a glass of poisoned wine to be righteous, so as to prevent him from being tortured and humiliated after falling into the hands of the enemy, and finally had to confess the organization's information.
After thinking about it again, Zhan Changlin still asked his superiors to give him a chance to retreat with his whole body, so as to save his useful body and continue to kill the enemy in the next day.
Zhan Changlin's request was finally agreed by his superiors, and the way back for him and his family was also properly arranged, but even so, everyone was still not optimistic about Zhan Changlin, and felt that it would undoubtedly be more difficult for him to escape in that situation.
The day of the assassination soon came, and the brothers pretended to go to work at the consulate as usual, while their families, escorted by military commanders, left by boat for a relative's funeral under the pretext of attending a relative's funeral.
At the same time, Zhan Changlin, who was deeply trusted by the Japanese, was responsible for serving wine and water at the dinner party, so he took the opportunity to poison the Shaoxing rice wine that entertained the Japanese head.
After the wine was served, Zhan Changlin immediately went to the doctor to prescribe medicine under the pretext of having a stomachache, so he rode the bicycle that had been prepared and left the consulate quickly, and his brother Zhan Changbing also left the consulate one step ahead of him.
After the two brothers converged, they took cover all the way to avoid the Japanese patrol and successfully escaped.
Just ten minutes after the brothers escaped, the Japanese devils found that the wine was poisonous, and one after another some people fell down foaming at the mouth, the scene was called a big chaos, but unfortunately under the full rescue of the Japanese army, most of these Japanese devils still saved their lives, and only two Japanese consul general clerks were completely poisoned and died.
When the time came out, the people of Nanjing all applauded, and the Japanese were so angry that they dug three feet into the ground to find out the brothers of the Zhan family, but the Zhan family had already gone to the empty building and died in the world......
It was not until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that Zhan Changlin returned to Nanjing, opened a hotel, and was commended by the Nationalist Government, but Zhan Changlin always kept a low profile and never took the initiative to talk about these things, just so as not to trouble the country.
In this way, Zhan Changlin has been living an ordinary life until his death in 2008, and he was rated as a heroic model who made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China.
