One day in February 1950, at a residence in Beijing called No. 43 Jiuzhou Bay, Nanchizi, a secret radio station sent a secret telegram to a Taiwanese agent, and the power producer responsible for sending the secret telegram, named Ji Zhaoxiang, was a Kuomintang agent lurking in Beijing.
Why can a secret agent who has obviously been arrested still operate a radio station and send a secret telegram to Taiwan? In fact, this was specially arranged by the founding general Li Kenong himself, and Mao Renfeng, director of the Secrecy Bureau who was far away in Taiwan, was stunned at once after receiving this special secret telegram, and collapsed on the spot.
Mao Ren Feng
So why did Li Kenong let the arrested agent send a telegram to Taiwan? What exactly does this secret telegram say? To uncover this series of problems, we must start with Chairman Mao's first visit to the Soviet Union.
Soon after the founding of New China, in order to quickly open up the diplomatic situation and create a peaceful surrounding environment, Chairman Mao began a visit to the Soviet Union. After this news reached Taiwan, Mao Renfeng, then director of Taiwan's Secrecy Bureau, thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he came up with the idea of emulating the "Huanggutun" incident created by the Japanese army in that year, in order to seek credit in front of Old Chiang Kai-shek.
Chairman Mao visited the Soviet Union
Here we will first focus on Mao Renfeng, in the Republic of China period, Mao Renfeng, Together with Li Shiqun, Xu Enzeng, and Dai Kasa, was called the "Four Great Secret Agents", for his personality characteristics, the military command agent Shen Drunk later said such a sentence: "Mao Renfeng gave people the impression of being very loyal and old-fashioned, and he was a famous smiling tiger with a smile on everyone' face." From Shen's drunken words, we can explore the depth of Mao Renfeng's city government.
Perhaps it is precisely by relying on this "hidden tolerance". After Dai Kasa's death at Daishan, Mao Renfeng unexpectedly defeated Tang Zhong, Zheng Jiemin, and other elders who were extremely senior, and took over the authority to take charge of the Kuomintang secret service system, becoming the "red man" that old Chiang Chiang relied on.

After the Kuomintang defeated and retreated to Taiwan, in order to further consolidate its position as the "boss" in the secret service system, Mao Renfeng hollowed out his mind to plan secret service operations on the mainland, and Chairman Mao's visit to the Soviet Union this time became a matter of great concern to Mao Renfeng.
After Chairman Mao's special column was sent north, Mao Renfeng activated his "secret weapon", that is, the secret service organization lurking in the northeast--- the "Northeast Underground Technical Column".
In order to achieve the sinister goal, Mao Renfeng deliberately formulated two sets of action plans.
The first set of plans: mainly implemented in the northeast, the secret service organization sabotaged the Changchun No. 14 Railway, which was traveling on the chairman's special train, and planted a time bomb in advance at Harbin Station.
The second set of plans: mainly implemented in Beijing, the "universal lurking platform" lurking in Nanchizi near Tiananmen Square is activated, and the remote control command is carried out according to changes in the situation.
Mao Renfeng thought that these two sets of plans were done seamlessly, but what he did not expect was that as soon as they took action, our intelligence personnel headed by Li Kenong sniffed the fox's tail, especially the situation of the enemy's "universal lurking radio."
Li Kenong
What is a "universal lurking radio"?
In fact, there is only one person in this enemy radio station, from the station director and the newspaper service, to intelligence, translation and telecommunications, all the posts have a special agent Ji Zhaoxiang shoulder to shoulder.
Everyone knows that Beijing is the capital, that a large number of leaders, including the chairman, the premier, and President Zhu, are all working in Beijing, and that in such an important place, there are enemy radio stations lurking, and this of course arouses the great attention of Li Kenong.
In order to destroy the enemy radio station lurking in Beijing in one fell swoop, Li Kenong held a special meeting to deploy the operation and said to Cao Chunzhi, chief of the investigation section of the Ministry of Public Security who was in charge of this matter at the time: "After finding out the enemy station, make a phone call, and I will go to the scene to see." ”
On February 18, 1950, the operation to destroy the universal radio began on time, and soon under the thunder action of the relevant personnel, Ji Zhaoxiang tied his hands and grabbed it, but although the people were caught, the radio station was not found, in view of this situation, the action personnel immediately reported to Cao Chunzhi: "We caught Ji Zhaoxiang and found the rectifier, but did not search the radio. ”
After learning of this result, Cao Chunzhi giggled in his heart, because intelligence work pays attention to human and physical evidence, and now the lack of radio is equivalent to half of the failure of the operation, so he immediately replied to the scene personnel: "Look at the scene, I will arrive immediately!"
Whoever is fast can seize the opportunity, and Cao Chunzhi, who is well aware of the characteristics of intelligence work, has just replied to the instructions to the front line, and he will drive straight to the place where Ji Zhaoxiang was arrested in Jiuzhou Bay, Nanchizi.
As soon as he entered the door, Cao Chunzhi was like an eagle scouting every corner of the room, and Ji Zhaoxiang and his wife, who had been arrested at this time, were very upset and frustrated.
I have to say that this radio set up by Mao Renfeng is very hidden, Cao Chunzhi investigated a circle and did not find anything abnormal, so he leaned back on the sofa "casually", smoking while thinking, and suddenly on the ceiling above his head, a "peony map" caught his attention.
Ji Zhaoxiang
Because this picture is upside down and does not conform to the convention, Cao Chunzhi, who has always been sensitive to his profession, immediately intuitively felt that there must be a radio station hidden behind this painting, so he immediately said to the action personnel: "Go up, take the radio down!"
As expected, there is a secret hole hidden behind the painting, and the operatives have drilled into it and found the following crime tools:
One radio: The model is a U.S.-made condensing SST-I-E type 25-watt radio.
A pistol: The specification is a U.S.-made pistol.
Some intelligence papers.
A "Ancient Literature Guanzhi": it says the password, etc.
After seizing these incriminating evidence, Cao Chunzhi, who was deeply concerned, immediately reported the relevant situation to Li Kenong, and after learning that the frontline personnel had removed the "universal radio" in one fell swoop, Li Kenong immediately drove to the scene of the past discovery.
As soon as the car arrived at the scene of the incident, Li Kenong went straight to the residence of the secret agent Ji Zhaoxiang.
At this time, Ji Zhaoxiang, who was arrested at this time, saw Li Kenong come in, and his heart was even more uneasy. Li Kenong, who had experienced many years of experience in the intelligence battlefield, obviously sensed Ji Zhaoxiang's nervousness, so he said to Ji Zhaoxiang with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I came today to see your Ji Zhaoxiang's reporting technology." Just use this radio station and use the original method to call Mao Renfeng of the Taiwan Secrecy Bureau. ”
As soon as the terrified Ji Zhaoxiang heard this, his mind was immediately filled with doubts: What is the purpose of letting an arrested agent generate electricity for his master Mao Renfeng? So he hesitated for a moment and quickly replied: "Willing to serve, willing to serve." ”
At about the same time, thousands of miles away, at the headquarters of Taiwan's Kuomintang Secrecy Bureau, Mao Renfeng was anxiously waiting for news from the "Universal Radio." Although according to the previously stipulated time, the time of radio contact between the two sides has expired, and Mao Renfeng vaguely feels that there may be a problem, but he still believes by chance that the radio station is very secretive and cannot be discovered.
Little by little, while Mao Renfeng was waiting bitterly, the "Universal Radio" in Beijing suddenly sent a signal of "Beep Beep". Soon the translator came out by telegraph, and Mao Renfeng was immediately stunned when he saw it, and then collapsed and sat down on the chair.
As we all know, Mao Renfeng, as another major spy leader after Dai Kasa, has a fierce heart, excellent psychological quality, and usually encounters big things, and is not happy and angry, but today's telegram has completely stirred up his inner waves, so what exactly is written in this telegram issued by Li Kenong's order? Let Mao Renfeng be so out of shape? Let's take a look at the content:
Mr. Mao Renfeng:
The "Almighty Lurking Platform" that you have repeatedly boasted has been captured, and major Station Commander Ji Zhaoxiang has been captured. In the future, we will take in all the agents sent by your bureau, but we will not thank them.
Tell you, it was Li Kenong who spoke to you... If you lead your troops back, I Li Kenong can ensure your safety. Tell you that the operator who sent the newspaper is Ji Zhaoxiang.
I have to say that Li Kenong's telegram is sharp in words, domineering in every sentence, and directly pokes at the soft underbelly of Mao Renfeng, and the implication is very obvious: you are not an opponent, and the speed surrenders! And the later results also proved that Mao Renfeng was indeed poor in donkey skills.
Later, due to his inability to make achievements in the field of intelligence, coupled with chiang ching-kuo's rise in the intelligence system, he not only lost territory within the Kuomintang, but also gradually lost the trust of chiang kai-shek. In 1956, Mao Renfeng, who had long lost real power, died of cancer at the age of 58.
Mao Yunan
Finally, it is worth mentioning that most of Mao Renfeng's descendants are far away from politics and live a peaceful life, the most famous of which is his son Mao Yunan, who graduated from a famous American school, was a multinational executive, and was a well-known entrepreneur in the field of telecommunications.
