On January 11, 1938, Chiang Kai-shek, in the name of convening a military conference of senior generals, laid out a Hongmen banquet in Kaifeng, a Hongmen banquet intended to trap Han Fuyu.
As for why he wanted to trap and severely punish Han Fuyu?
There are not only reasons for disobeying orders and withdrawing without authorization, but also under the table criticism such as eradicating dissidents and using public information to leak private information.
Today, we will not talk about the reasons why Han Fuyu was trapped and executed, but only how this trap-and-hunt Hongmen feast was laid out step by step. It should be known that in an extraordinary period, the hunting and killing of a feudal official and senior general with heavy troops, if you are not careful, the trapping will not be successful, and it is very likely to cause serious consequences such as mutinies.
Moreover, to move such a high-ranking general, the stairs must be descended step by step to appear calm, legitimate, and have to be done; suddenly sacrificing killing moves is a clumsy and unprofitable performance.
Next, we may as well step by step down this trap staircase.
There is a fact that is basically confirmed, Han Fuyu had seriously offended Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater, before going to Kaifeng to attend the meeting. Based on this fact, there is a saying that can basically be adopted, the first person to propose to severely punish Han Fuyu is Li Zongren, while the old Jiang pushed the boat along the water.
This pushing the boat along the water is a step of the underground staircase. If you want to get rid of someone, opening your mouth yourself may lead to private opinions, and letting others open your mouth will definitely get the truth of impartiality.
There is a saying that Han Fuyu offended Li Zongren because of two telegrams, which contained the hands and feet of the secret agents of the military command.
The first telegram.
When Jinan was in crisis, Han Fuyu of the Third Army ordered that ammunition, supplies, and other military supplies, military hospitals, and repair centers be loaded into trucks and transferred to the Luohe area of Henan. When the train passed through Xuzhou, Li Zongren called to stop it: "Why is the rear of the Third Army of Yuxi Africa transported to this place?" ”
Han Fuyu was very angry when he saw this questioning telegram, and out of his habit for many years, he immediately replied on the telegram: "In the all-round war of resistance, how to divide each other", "Kaifeng is not the rear of the fifth theater, why are ammunition and supplies stored there?" ”
Note that this was Han Fuyu's complaint about reading the telegram, and it was not his intention to send such a complaint directly to Li Zongren. However, something strange happened, and the General Staff Office sent Han's complaints to Li Zongren as a formal telegram without Han Fuyu's attention.
Apparently, there are ghosts in the Staff Office.
Receiving such a call back, Li Zongren and Han Fuyu were on the line.
In this way, a second, worsening telegram, soon appeared.
Not long after receiving the call back, Li Zongren immediately sent another telegram to Han Fuyu ordering him to die in Tai'an.
As a result, Han Fuyu launched a habitual complaint on the telegram: "Nanjing does not guard, He Shou Tai'an."
When Han Fuyu finished complaining, the Staff Office repeated the old trick and once again sent Han's complaining words to Li Zongren as a formal reply telegram.
As soon as the two telegrams were added together, Li Zongren was furious and then forwarded the telegram to Old Jiang -- Han Fuyu did not listen to the command, acted without authorization, and must be severely punished!
Of course, Han Fuyu had the responsibility not to resist, but as soon as this divisive calculation was amplified, he instantly became the one who killed one in a hundred.
However, Han Fuyu himself did not care too much about this, and really underestimated the lurking killing machine in the sensitive period.
Next, the plan to trap Han Fuyu was put on the agenda, or that sentence, making Han Fuyu obedient was not as simple as the next order.
One problem is enough for old Jiang to have a headache. If Han Fuyu, who had already found something wrong, did not come, it would be difficult to trap him.
To this end, the first step of Old Jiang's arrangement of the Hongmen Banquet was quite a bit of a taste of the boldness of the artist.
The point is where the military conference is convened.
Old Jiang did not choose anywhere else, and chose kaifeng alone. Just because Kaifeng was right under Han Fuyu's eyes, he expected that Han Fuyu would be paralyzed by this.
After setting this location, Old Jiang went further and personally called Han Fuyu.
On the phone, Old Jiang said: "I have decided to summon officers above the regimental commander to a meeting in Kaifeng, please ask Brother Fang to meet in Kaifeng." ”
A murderous invitation made Old Jiang speak so politely.
Sure enough, Han Fuyu, who received the call from Old Jiang, agreed without hesitation.
However, a group of subordinates led by Liu Xizhong resolutely disagreed with Han Fuyu's visit to the meeting, in their view, the signs were very wrong now, and finding a reason to shirk it was the best strategy.
However, at this time, another key figure, Jiang Bocheng, appeared, who plotted to appease many people in the Third Army after Han Fuyu was executed.
Jiang Bocheng said to Han Fuyu: "After meeting with the chairman of the committee in Kaifeng, all problems can be solved." ”
In Liu Xizhong's view, it was Jiang Bocheng's words that made Han Fuyu embark on the final road to death.
On January 10, Han Fuyu, escorted by forty pistols and a battalion of guards, took a steel-armored train to Kaifeng.
After arriving in Kaifeng in the evening, everything was as usual, but his guard battalion was stopped on the train on the grounds that there were too many garrisons in the city, and then drove outside the city.
On the same day, Lao Jiang flew to Kaifeng with Bai Chongxi.
Before Lao Jiang arrived, Dai Kasa and Wang Zhaohuai, commander of the Special Forces Corps of the Military Command, led twelve agents to arrive in Kaifeng in advance and completed the arrangements before the trapping.
At 1:30 p.m. on the 11th, the military conference was quietly held in the Yuan Family Garden in Nanguan, Kaifeng.
According to the requirements of the venue, all armed or unarmed personnel are not allowed to enter, and all the generals who join the association are armed with guns and handed over to the adjutant for unified safekeeping.
In this way, Han Fuyu entered the venue as a lamb, but he himself did not realize that the killing machine was not far away.
The meeting of the day was divided into the first and second halves, and the first half was basically the old Chiang's lecture on the stage, this time the old Chiang's lecture was extremely severe, and there was the meaning of not naming and reprimanding the generals who retreated without authorization.
By the end of the first half of the session, the trapping had officially begun.
Just as Han Fuyu was about to go to rest, a lieutenant general's attendant officer walked up to Han Fuyu and said to Han with a smile: "Please wait a moment, the chairman of the committee will ask you to say a few words." ”
As soon as the words stopped, Liu Zhi came over and followed Han Fuyu into the lounge.
The next step is to trap Han Fuyu's most widely circulated bridge section.
In the lounge, Old Jiang questioned Han Fuyu: "I ask Chairman Han, if you don't fire a single shot, you repeatedly retreat backwards from the north bank of the Yellow River, and then abandon Jinan and Tai'an, so that the rear is shaken, and this responsibility should be your burden!" ”
Han Fuyu immediately made a big taboo, only to see him take out his arrogant old qualifications and unceremoniously top it: "The loss of Shandong is my responsibility, who is responsible for the loss of Nanjing?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Old Jiang was choked with unusual anger: "Now I am asking about Shandong, not Nanjing." Nanjing was lost, and someone was responsible. ”
Han Fuyu was trying to refute it, and Liu Zhi, who had been waiting for an opportunity, took action. Only to see him pull Han Fuyu's hand and say, "Xiangfang, when the seat is on fire, you should first come to my office to rest." ”
With that, Liu Zhi pulled Han Fuyu and walked outside.
Walking out of the venue, Liu Zhi pretended to enthusiastically point to a car and said to Han Fuyu, "This is my car, sit on it." ”
As a result, as soon as Han Fuyu got into the car, the two people in the front seat immediately flipped over to the back seat.
Only then did Han Fuyu realize that he had been secretly calculated by Liu Zhi.
The two men in the back seat, one on the left and one on the right, immediately presented the arrest warrant to Han Fuyu, and Han Fuyu, who was also a generation of tyrants, became a lamb to be slaughtered.
After Han Fuyu was taken into control, he was sent all the way to the railway station, and then all the way down to Hankou.
There was no delay in between.
At this point, Han Fuyu still didn't realize that he was facing the disaster of killing himself.
During the period, a subordinate came down to look at him, and he also said: "Rest assured, it is a big deal to go home and farm at the end." ”
He didn't expect that his death would come so quickly.
On January 24, two agents asked Han Fuyu to go downstairs on the grounds that He Yingqin wanted to talk to him, and when Han walked to the bend of the stairs and found a large number of armed military and police agents downstairs, he finally realized the threat of death.
"My shoes are small and a bit cramped, so I go back and change my shoes." After saying that, Han Fuyu turned around and headed upstairs.
At this moment, the gun rang out, and after Han Fuyu was shot, he said his last words: "Hit me in the chest-"
