In June 1946, Zhou Enlai, who was now in chongqing's Meiyuan New Village, was anxiously waiting for the arrival of a person with a tired face, and Zhou Enlai paced back and forth in the room alone. Suddenly, "bang, bang, bang," the knock sounded, Zhou Enlai walked quickly to the door, and there was less of the previous greeting, and he said to the people who came straight to the door: "Your identity is very likely to be exposed." ”
Premier Zhou, who has always worked meticulously, what is the reason why our party's intelligence personnel are exposed to the risk of possible exposure? So what is the identity of this person? Today, let's understand the beginning and end of this matter. New friends don't forget to pay attention to it, so you can review past videos without missing the wonderful content later.
Xiong Xianghui
Xiong Xianghui was born in 1914 in Ye County, Shandong Province, and was the fifth oldest in his family. Xiong Xianghui's father once served as the county magistrate of Ye County, and later served as the president of the Hubei High Court, because it belonged to the family of official eunuchs in the local area and had a relatively large reputation in the local area.
In 1936, due to the japanese invaders' pressing step by step, the situation in north China at this time was grim. After Japan occupied northeast China, its aggressive ambitions grew day by day, and it continued to increase its troops in north China in large quantities. At this time, the Chinese nation was facing a heavy national crisis. At this time, Xiong Xianghui had just been admitted to Tsinghua University, and in the face of an increasingly serious national crisis, Xiong Xianghui resolutely decided to devote himself to the student movement. Due to Xiong Xianghui's outstanding performance in the student movement, after a period of time, Xiong Xianghui successfully joined the Communist Party of China in 1936.
After the end of the Xi'an Incident, Hu Zongnan's troops were ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to be stationed near Xi'an, which exerted great pressure on the liberated areas in northern Shaanxi, and Hu Zongnan had always been the vanguard of Chiang Kai-shek's "suppression of the Communists." At this time, Premier Zhou, in order to ensure the safety of the Party Central Committee in northern Shaanxi and to insert a steel nail inside the enemy army, was determined to find a breakthrough in Hu Zongnan.
Hu Zongnan
Premier Zhou, who had previously served as director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy, had a deep understanding of Hu Zongnan, the "prince" of the Huangpu department who had graduated from the first phase of the Huangpu period, so he made demands on the intelligence personnel who went to Hu Zongnan's side to engage in intelligence work: First, Hu Zongnan paid attention to the family lineage, and this person must have been born in the family of officials and eunuchs; second, this person must have had experience in receiving higher education, because the Kuomintang at this time attached great importance to scientific and class education; third, to do things rigorously and meticulously, and to react quickly. It can respond to complex and dangerous enemy situations at any time; fourth, it is necessary to be proficient in Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles and familiar with Marxist works.
After Premier Zhou issued the request of the intelligence personnel, he quickly received a reply from Mr. Jiang Nanxiang, secretary of the Beiping Academic Committee of the Beiping Underground Party of the Communist Party of China, and recommended his student Xiong Xianghui to Premier Zhou. After a period of investigation, Premier Zhou was very satisfied with Xiong Xianghui's ability. So from then on, in the period before the outbreak of the War of Resistance, Xiong Xianghui began to carefully accept the arrangements of the party organization under the cultivation of Zhou Enlai, and prepared to find an opportunity to break into Hu Zongnan's side.
After the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, due to the impact of the war, Xiong Xianghui followed his university all the way to Hunan, and at this time, Hu Zongnan also led his troops to garrison Hunan. Hu Zongnan is the first phase of Huangpu and has always been highly valued by Chiang Kai-shek, so many people have come to his aid.
At this time, Hu Zongnan also wanted to find a few young people who could afford to put them by his side. So in 1938, when Hu Zongnan passed by the Hunan Youth Field Service Regiment, he saw Xiong Xianghui, who was dignified and calm and capable, and could not help but feel very surprised.
So Hu Zongnan walked over to Xiong Xianghui's side and asked, "Why did Mr. Xiong come to this army?" At that time, Hu Zongnan was already the commander of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, so it was inevitable that he would have a joking meaning for a young reserve called Mr. After Xiong Xianghui listened, he said to Hu Zongnan: "I came to participate in the revolution. After Hu Zongnan listened, he was slightly shocked and said, "Is Mr. Xiong here to join the revolution?" ”
Xiong Xianghui replied: "Your army is the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and I have come to register, naturally to participate in the revolution." Hu Zongnan felt unusual and asked, "What is a revolution?" Xiong replied, "To resist the Japanese and defend the country is a revolution." Hu asked, "Then what is it to oppose Japan without resisting Japan?" Xiong replied: "Active resistance to Japan is a real revolution, passive resistance to Japan is a false revolution, and opposition to Japan is counter-revolution." ”
Premier Zhou
Hu Zongnan was very satisfied with Xiong Xianghui's answer, so soon after, Hu Zongnan called Xiong Xianghui to his side alone and decided to reuse him. In the early days of Hu Zongnan's side, hu Zongnan actively resisted The Japanese Because the War of Resistance had just begun, but after 1941, Hu Zongnan began to suppress the Communist Party. At this time, Xiong Xianghui also knew that he was close to playing his role.
It did not take long for an intelligence to reach Xiong Xianghui's hands, and Chiang Kai-shek issued a "Plan for Fighting Against Northern Shaanxi" to Hu Zongnan, and Chiang Kai-shek ordered Ma Bufang in Qinghai and Ma Hongkui in Ningxia to lead their own troops to cooperate with Hu Zongnan's actions and launch an attack on the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.
Because of Chiang Kai-shek's orders, Hu Zongnan was very active, and only on July 2, 1943, he had already completed the pre-war preparations and was ready to show his hand in front of Chiang Kai-shek. However, only a day later, Xiong Xianghui reported Hu Zongnan's battle plan to the CPC Central Committee, and the CPC Central Committee immediately announced the Kuomintang's sneak attack plan, so that the Kuomintang's blitzkrieg operation was aborted before it began.
Chiang Kai-shek
Another incident occurred during this period, after the failure of the Kuomintang blitzkrieg plan to attack Yan'an, negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communists were held. The day after the failure of the blitzkrieg plan, Zhou Enlai came to Xi'an to negotiate with the Kuomintang, but to Premier Zhou's surprise, the Kuomintang sent Xiong Xianghui to negotiate with Zhou Enlai. The two men who had not seen each other for a long time sat across the table, and Zhou Enlai's face was very calm at this time, because this was the person he had arranged to join the Kuomintang many years ago, and they had finally met after so many years.
After the negotiation was over, the two men went to a no-man's land, zhou Enlai and Xiong Xianghui held each other's hands tightly, and Zhou Enlai choked and said: "In the past few years, you have worked hard." Because of years of living behind enemy lines, Xiong Xianghui has already developed the habit of not being alarmed, but when he heard Premier Zhou's words, he still couldn't hold back his tears, Xiong Xianghui said: "Not hard, everything is for the Chinese revolution." ”
Coincidentally, during the Liberation War, with the help of Xiong Xianghui, the Party Central Committee successfully survived the crisis, and even Chairman Mao once said: "One person can top several divisions." In June 1946, the Kuomintang tore up the Double Tenth Agreement, and a full-scale civil war broke out. In March 1947, Xiong Xianghui was playing with his new wife in Hangzhou when he was suddenly stopped by someone from the Secret Bureau. At this time, Xiong Xianghui thought that his identity was exposed, so he was thinking about how to deal with it along the way.
Xi'an Incident
However, it was not until Xiong Xianghui met Hu Zongnan that the front line was urgent, Hu Zongnan could not do without him, and needed to be with Hu Zongnan for two months, and the previous plan for Xiong Xianghui to study in the United States was canceled. After knowing the ins and outs, Xiong Xianghui calmed his mind and quietly listened to Hu Zongnan's plan.
Hu Zongnan said to Xiong Xianghui: "When I went to Nanjing a few days ago, the president said that the four countries of the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and France would discuss the China issue in Moscow, and asked me to launch an attack on Yan'an on March 10 to cooperate with the development of the international situation. After that, Hu Zongnan put a document bag in a room and said to Xiong Xianghui: "You go in and lock the door, and no one is allowed to enter." After Opening the document package, Xiong Xianghui saw two top-secret documents: the military plan of the Kuomintang army to attack Yan'an; and the deployment of the communist forces in northern Shaanxi.
After Xiong Xianghui watched, he became familiar with these top-secret information. So when he accompanied Hu Zongnan back to Xi'an, he passed the information to the Xi'an underground party of the CCP. However, in order to keep this military plan secret, Hu Zongnan did not even tell his own military commander and division commander. After receiving the information, the Party Central Committee took the initiative to withdraw from Yan'an, and when Chairman Mao was leaving, he left a poem for Hu Zongnan in the cave: "Hu Zongnan went to Yan'an, and was bound to become a tiger." You can't go in, you can't go back and you can't retreat. how. how. ”
Xiong Xianghui's life is full of legends, and he has also passed by the danger several times, including one time when his identity was almost exposed, which is the opening fragment of the article. In 1946, when Premier Zhou went to Nanjing, he was on Marshall's plane, and because Premier Zhou was very tired and ready to take a nap, he did not expect to fall asleep for a while, so the notebook fell on the plane.
When Marshall returned Premier Zhou's notebook, Marshall had already sealed the notebook with fire paint. Still, Zhou Enlai judged that Marshall had taken a picture of the contents of the notebook on the camera. Since there were not many people with the surname "Xiong" in the Kuomintang, as long as the contents of the notebook reached the hands of the Kuomintang, Xiong Xianghui was very likely to expose his identity.
Zhou Enlai was remorseful for his careless behavior and decided to request punishment. Xiong Xianghui said that for the sake of the Chinese revolution, he had already put his own life and death aside, even if his identity was exposed. And Zhou Enlai was a very sympathetic subordinate, and he would not let Xiong Xianghui make senseless sacrifices. So in the first time after the notebook was lost, he discussed countermeasures with Dong Biwu.
Marshall
Zhou Enlai knew that the interests of the United States and the Kuomintang were tied, so when Marshall learned of this news, he would definitely inform Chiang Kai-shek. Since marshall could not be stopped, it could only be that Marshall and Chiang Kai-shek would not trust each other, or that Marshall would have some scruples and would not inform Chiang Kai-shek of the information. After a period of contemplation, Zhou Enlai finally thought of a way to get Fu Jingbo, the secretary of Ambassador Situ Radar of the United States, and Zhou Enlai handed over several purchased tickets to Fu Jingbo after chatting with him.
This Mr. Fu Jingbo was a good friend of Zhou Enlai, and the relationship with Situ Leiden was different, otherwise Zhou Enlai would not have laid out such thinking. Because Stuart Redden and Marshall knew each other, and Marshall liked to watch Peking Opera. Due to Marshall's special status in the US military circles, Stuart Redden was very eager to please Marshall, so at the invitation of Stuart Layden, Marshall gladly went to watch Peking Opera.
The Peking opera that Marshall and Stuart Leiden watched together that day was "The Qunying Society", and the story in it was based on the "Qunying Hui Jiang Ganzhong Scheme" of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This scene is very meaningful.
Heroes of the Crowd
The meaning of Premier Zhou is that Marshall can associate himself with the scene of "Jiang Gan's Book Stealing" through this Peking opera, and Premier Zhou left notes on the plane. When Marshall thought about it, he must have doubted the accuracy of this information. Because in his own impression, Premier Zhou is a rigorous and meticulous person, he should not leave the notebook in the hands of himself, a person who shares the interests of the Kuomintang. These things appeared in Marshall's mind, and he immediately stopped thinking about the situation that he had ventured to send intelligence to the Kuomintang and did not have a good result.
In fact, even if Marshall sent the information in his hand to Chiang Kai-shek's hands, Chiang Kai-shek would most likely not believe it. Because in Chiang Kai-shek's view, the Kuomintang needed economic and military assistance from the United States, but it did not need American intelligence assistance. Because long before the Battle of Pearl Harbor broke out in 1941, the Nationalists had obtained the exact information that the Japanese army was going to attack Pearl Harbor. Although Chiang Kai-shek informed the United States, the United States did not care, and finally the Battle of Pearl Harbor broke out, and the United States Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses. Since then, in Chiang Kai-shek's mind, he has greatly distrusted the US intelligence system.
In the end, under the planning of Premier Zhou, the information in Marshall's hands was never sent. After Xiong Xianghui stayed in Shanghai for a while, he began to return to the Kuomintang and began his own lurking work.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Xiong Xianghui returned from the United States. Premier Zhou set up a banquet to entertain a group of former Kuomintang members in Zhang Zhizhong, and it was between them that they met, and Zhang Zhizhong and others said, "Old Brother Xiong, when did you also revolt?" At this time, Premier Zhou said from the side: "He is not an uprising, he is returning to the team." ”
After the founding of New China, Xiong Xianghui transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, thus starting his diplomatic career. In 1954, he accompanied Premier Zhou to the Geneva Conference, and he was the director of the Press Office of the Chinese delegation. In 1971, Xiong Xianghui participated in the Restoration of China's legitimate seat in the United Nations, and Xiong Xianghui was China's representative. In 1972, he became the first Chinese ambassador to Mexico.
