Chapter 8 8. Admiral of Secret Service——Zheng Jiemin

Zheng Jiemin (1897-1959), courtesy name Yaoquan, was born in Wenchang County, Guangdong Province. He used to be a secret service organization, deputy director of the "Fuxing Society", secretary to the director of the Military Command Bureau, deputy general director of the Second Department of the Military Command, director of the Military Command Bureau, and the Secret Bureau. Director, Undersecretary of Defense, etc.After fleeing to Taiwan, he served as the director of the National Security Bureau of the Nationalist Government, ranging from a general to an army general. Died in Taipei in 1959.

A winter day in 1928.In the war room, Chiang Kai-shek faced the military map, his expression seemed to freeze. He is thinking, judging from the current situation, his position as the commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army is really in jeopardy. Feng (Yuxiang), Yan (Xishan), and Gui (Li Zongren) and other military giants are already full-fledged and supportive. self-respect.Once they flare up, the consequences will be disastrous. "We must strictly implement the policy of reducing the vassals and defeat them one by one." Chiang Kai-shek murmured to himself.His eyes razed across the map like razor blades, looking for the best spot to strike.

The aide-de-camp Zheng Jiemin quietly came to Chiang Kai-shek and handed over a piece of information. "Chief of Staff Bai (Bai Chongxi was the chief of staff of the National Revolutionary Army at the time) paraded in the north and gave a speech, saying that since ancient times, the north has always defeated the south; at the same time, their troops have been mobilized frequently. If you have intentions, Junzuo must take precautions and anticipate the enemy." Chiang Kai-shek was slightly startled, and turned around.To be honest, he was not very optimistic about the student in front of him on weekdays. This person is a second-year student of Whampoa. Before entering the school, he worked for others in the Nanyang area. Submissive, lack of assertiveness and decisiveness.When he arrived at the military academy, he did not have any outstanding performance. He just shined once in the examination for the selection of students studying in the Soviet Union. He actually stood out among the many candidates, which surprised Chiang Kai-shek.But he still performed mediocrely after returning to China. After Tuomenlu entered the attendant's room, he seldom put forward constructive opinions. Therefore, it is hard to imagine that such insightful and weighty opinions as today came from him.

Chiang Kai-shek underestimated Zheng Jiemin. This man is true to his promise, but he does not lack talent.He was in awe of Chiang Kai-shek too much, so he lost his calmness and alertness when dealing with him on weekdays. Zheng Jiemin was very distressed by this. If this continues, not only will the attendant's room not last long, but he will lose Chiang Kai-shek's attention forever.Fortunately, Song Meiling pointed out a way for him.Once, he was scolded by Chiang Kai-shek again. He was scolded bloody and ashamed. In the pain, Soong Meiling approached.Just now, she also felt that Chiang Kai-shek was too harsh on his disciples, so she wanted to comfort Zheng Jiemin.

During the conversation, Song Meiling learned that Zheng Jiemin was also from Wenchang, Guangdong, and shared the same hometown with her. She couldn't help but aroused a ray of nostalgia, and her demeanor became more and more intimate. "Diligence and prudence alone are not enough to work with the principal. You must be able to share his worries, help him make up his mind, and make big plans. He knows that you are all loyal, and it doesn't matter if you make a mistake. The current situation is very tense. Local segregation, multiple political parties, the principal is very troubled by these, if you can put more thought into these aspects and contribute some valuable opinions, he will take them seriously." Soong Meiling pointed out.

Zheng Jiemin was originally a smart person, and he knew everything.So he came prepared today. Facing Chiang Kai-shek's stern gaze, he did not back down, talked eloquently, and responded well. Chiang Kai-shek said: "Not long after the reunification of the country, the people urgently need to recuperate and renew their weapons, fearing that the people will boil with resentment." Zheng Jiemin replied: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Now that the local forces have grown, a catastrophe is inevitable. Instead of passively fighting, it is better to be quick and seize the opportunity."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and said: "Feng, Yan, and Li are not weak, and the central government is unable to fight three with one. The first opponent must be selected accurately." Zheng Jiemin straightened his chest, and said solemnly: "The ancients said, 'A long-distance relationship is close to an attack'. The Guangxi family is close at the elbow and armpit. It poses the greatest threat to us and is the easiest to deal with. It can be the first target." "Okay!" Chiang Kai-shek applauded in his heart, what Zheng Jiemin said was exactly what he thought day and night, what he thought in his heart.He frowned, and quizzed him again: "In your opinion, what is the most important thing for us to fight against the Guangxi faction?"

Zheng Jiemin had a well-thought-out plan: "Quick battles and quick decisions will determine the country with one arrow. Otherwise, the central government will lose its prestige and various princes will take advantage of the chaos to rise up, and the overall situation will be difficult to deal with." "Li (Renzong) and Bai (Chongxi) have excellent soldiers and occupy important areas. The south and the north have joined forces. It is easier said than done." Unexpectedly, Zheng Jiemin had already considered it mature, and immediately said: "Fighting wits without fighting strength, the so-called 'subdue the enemy's army without fighting'. According to the students' understanding, Li and Bai's internal instability, the eccentricity of the soldiers, and countermeasures will definitely make them If there is no war, there will be chaos. The student and Li Zongyi, Li Zongren's younger brother, are classmates at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, and they have a very close personal relationship. Not long after I returned to China, he sent a letter to invite him, and he can use this relationship to break into the Guangxi clique."

Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed, and Zheng Jiemin solved the problem that had been lingering in his heart. "Yaoquan (Zheng Jiemin's character), it's rare that you are a caring person. I am very pleased to have a student like you. I wish you smooth sailing. I am waiting for good news here." Zheng Jiemin transformed himself, took off his military uniform and put on a washed-out student uniform, pretending to be down and out, traveling all the way from Nanjing to Wuhan.He found a small hotel to stay in. He simply pretended that he couldn’t even afford the accommodation fee, took off the Soviet watch he bought in Moscow on his wrist as collateral, and then went to Li Zongren’s Fourth Army General Headquarters to find his old classmate Li Zongren. Zong Yi.After his introduction, Zheng Jiemin successfully entered the Gui family.

Because of Li Zongyi's care, the officers and soldiers of the entire Guangxi faction were unsuspecting of Zheng Jiemin.Zheng Jiemin started his first plan of action to steal the secret code of the Gui Army.The password book was kept by Li Zongyi, and Zheng Jiemin had a lot of brains. On that day, on the top of the willow on the moon, the two sat cross-legged and drank together.Li Zongyi has a thought. He knows that his position in the Gui army depends entirely on the support of his brother Li Zongren, and a group of senior generals in the army, such as Hu Zongduo, commander of the 19th army, and Tao Jun, commander of the 20th army, are against him in their bones. He didn't take it seriously, and he couldn't really master the army.This made his self-esteem very unbearable, and he often complained.

Zheng Jiemin had long intended to take advantage of these contradictions, so he naturally followed Li Zongyi's lead. "This half of the world was originally brought down by Degong (Li Zongren's word Delin). Of course, he must be in charge of his own people. What's wrong with people surnamed Hu and Tao?" He said that he must do more work in the army to establish Li Zongyi's prestige.As he spoke, he raised the jug again, intentionally knocking Li Zongyi over. Seeing that he drank until the middle of the month, Li Zongyi was finally overwhelmed by the alcohol and fell into a sound sleep.Zheng Jiemin smiled coldly, calmly took out the key that Li Zongyi carried with him, opened the code box, and took pictures of the codes one by one with the camera.A few days later, this volume of photos was placed on Chiang Kai-shek's desk. "This Pinggui's first achievement should be recorded in Zheng's name." Chiang Kai-shek beamed with joy.Indeed, with Li Zongren's secret code, Chiang Kai-shek seemed to have a clairvoyance and a good ear, and he could see clearly the opponent's every move.Later, when the Jianggui War broke out, Li Zongren didn't fight at all, and Chiang Kai-shek took the lead every time. Obtaining the secret code was an important factor in Chiang Kai-shek's victory over the Guangxi faction, but it was not the decisive factor. Zheng Jiemin's second move was the fatal blow.Taking advantage of Li Zongyi's selfishness, he traveled all over the Guangxi army, and openly used countermeasures to distract the generals of the Gui army, and finally made them defect before the battle and collapse without fighting. The local color of the Gui army is very strong, basically composed of Guangxi soldiers and horses.After fighting out of Guangxi, some non-Guangxi generals stood out with outstanding military exploits.Li Zongren originally had the ambition to conquer the world, so of course he had to use talents in an eclectic manner.In order to buy people's hearts, after acquiring Hubei, he specifically proposed to "govern Hubei with Hubei" and reuse Hu Zongduo and Tao Jun, generals from Hubei. Huang Quan and others were dissatisfied.So Zheng Jiemin searched for a maggot: "The people in power are from Hubei, but the people from Guangxi are fighting desperately. Are we destined to be cheap?" These words also reached Li Zongren's ears, and he asked his brother: "What is the intention of this Zheng, and why is he sowing discord?" Li Zongyi asked his brother angrily: "Isn't what Zheng Jiemin said true? In the long run, wouldn't it mean that the doves will occupy the magpie's nest, and the Guangxi family will be changed to the Hubei family." "Confused! Why are you so short-sighted? Do you want to rely on Guangxi people to rule the world? That can only be a corner, occupying the mountain and becoming king." Li Zongren shook his hands and left in anger. Zheng Jiemin embellished the information, which really aroused the dissatisfaction of some Guangxi generals. Li Mingrui, the backbone of the army and the commander of the 1st Division of the 7th Army, kicked over the chair in front of him angrily, saying: "Degong trusts outsiders, forget about it." We, the old brothers who were born and died." "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and Commander-in-Chief Jiang is thirsty for talents. If Master Li can understand the righteousness and support the Central Committee, the future will definitely be greater than that of the Guangxi Army." Zheng Jiemin said without losing the opportunity. After Chiang Kai-shek learned of the situation, he baited Li Mingrui with huge profits, Xu Yihoujue, and invited his cousin Yu Zuobai to negotiate peace. Finally, Li Mingrui decided to turn against Guangxi and vote for Chiang. All is ready except for the opportunity. In the spring of 1929, Chiang Kai-shek used the "Xiang case" as an excuse to press harder and harder, and finally provoked the war between Jiang and Gui.Once the war starts, the outcome is decided.Li Mingrui, Yang Tenghui, Huang Quan and other ministries on the front line had a tacit understanding with Jiang Jun. Without firing a single shot, they retreated to the Huayuankou area of ​​Pinghan Road like a duck, opening the way for Jiang Jun to enter Hubei.Although Hu Zongduo and Tao Jun were brave, they could not support themselves alone, and the front of the Gui army showed a trend of collapse across the board.In desperation, Li Zongren had to electrify and go out, and Chiang Kai-shek easily won Wuhan. The power is not forgiving, so Chiang Kai-shek rushed forward with his troops.Zheng Jiemin offered another plan. If you want to completely destroy the Gui army, you might as well use Gui to control Gui, and use the 7th Army of Li Zongren's former army as the vanguard to attack Gui, and go straight to Nanning, the base camp of the Gui army.Chiang Kai-shek nodded and appointed Yu Zuobai as the chairman of Guangxi Province, and Li Mingrui dispatched special commissioners for Guangxi to lead troops to attack Guangxi.Sure enough, Yu and Li were in full swing, and soon the Wang Banner in Guangxi changed and became Chiang Kai-shek's world. Victoriously returned to the court, at the celebration banquet, Chiang Kai-shek held Zheng Jiemin's hands tightly, and repeatedly praised: "You have done a great job, and you have lived up to my expectations. You are a role model for Huangpu students." A check in US dollars as a reward to Zheng Jiemin. Zheng Jiemin can also act, and his expression was startled: "Revolutionary soldiers fight for doctrine, not for rewards. Everything Jiemin does is his own business, which is far from the requirements of the principal." He wrote the check and took out a notebook from his pocket.It turned out that during the activities of the Guangxi Army, Chiang Kai-shek had sent him activity funds, and he remembered every expenditure clearly in his notebook.There is still a lot of balance now, and Zheng Jiemin gave it to Chiang Kai-shek together. Chiang Kai-shek was greatly moved: "I am very pleased that you can take credit without pride and be honest and self-disciplined. Now I appoint you as a member of the Guangxi Provincial Government. Guangxi Province has just returned to the Central Committee. Yu and Li are not peaceful people. I am very worried. You represent the central government to urge them.” Although Zheng Jiemin was just an empty member of the provincial government, everyone knew that he was Chiang Kai-shek's imperial envoy, who could coerce the emperor to make princes.The leading figures in Guangxi, starting with the provincial chairman Yu Zuobai, all tolerated him three points.Zheng Jiemin is not the kind of superficial person who is complacent. At first, he could restrain himself and behave humbly, politely, and politely. It is unavoidable to be a little bossy. Yu Zuobai was scheming, and held back his breath. Li Mingrui, who was full of blood, couldn't understand Zheng Jiemin's condescension. I recognized him as a friend, but I didn't expect him to be Chiang Kai-shek's spy, this person is insidious enough, be careful with him." Chiang Kai-shek never felt at ease with Yu and Li. He specifically confessed to Zheng Jiemin that he had to stare wide-eyed: "Blood is thicker than water. When they chased Guangxi, why didn't they kill Li and Bai and let the net go. This is called" People who are not of our race must have a different mind'. After all, we have to hand over the power of Guangxi to our own people." Zheng Jiemin nodded vigorously, and now he also serves as the director of the Political Department of the 57th Division.In the Kuomintang army, the so-called political department is actually the spy organization in the army.According to Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, he let these secret agents break into the Gui army one after another, poaching corners nakedly: "What are Yu Zuobai and Li Mingrui? Director Zheng can let them pack their bags and go home if they talk in front of Commander-in-Chief Chiang. So you have to listen to Director Zheng, that’s the voice of the central government, that’s right.” Zheng Jiemin also has a trick that Yu and Li hate the most.At that time, the financial revenue of Guangxi Province mainly came from Wuzhou Customs, which was controlled by Ma Rao Minchen, a member of Jiang's family, who was sent by Nanjing to cooperate with Zheng Jiemin.Zheng Jiemin only needs to make a phone call to Wuzhou Customs, and the surname Rao will immediately tighten the purse of Guangxi Finance, so that you can't even ask for a single needle. It depends on whether you bow your head. "Damn it, I fought all over the world and fought heroes all over the world. I have never been so petty." Li Mingrui often sits in the army, slapping the table and cursing. "On the contrary, instead of being controlled by others and waiting to die, it's better to do it vigorously and try to feel proud." He persuaded Yu Zuobai like this. "Be safe and don't be impatient." Yu Zuobai lowered his voice, "This man surnamed Jiang was a little smug after defeating Li Degong with our hands. In the recently published "Letter to the People of Wuhan", he proposed to 'fundamentally eradicate' the local forces. Now Feng Yuxiang Chen Gongbo, Wang Jingwei's left and right arm, was unwilling to be lonely. He borrowed the tiger's banner to pull the banner, and with Wang Jingwei as the leader, he put forward the slogan of "protecting the party and saving the country" and contacted various parties. Send anti-Chiang forces. He has sent people to Guangxi to lobby recently, but I don’t plan to do anything with them. These people turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain. I can’t trust them.” The fact that Chen Gongbo sent people to Guangxi was quickly discovered by Zheng Jiemin, but he was not alarmed.During this period of time, he had already planned ahead, and the main generals of the Gui army Yang Tenghui, Lu Huanyan, and Huang Quan all secretly assured him: "You must obey the central government." In a few days, I might as well have a major operation to solve it once and for all. Chiang Kai-shek also understood this meaning, so he severely reprimanded Guangxi. He sent a telegram to Chen Jitang, the Cantonese army adjacent to Guangxi, and asked him to "stand by and fight at any time."At the same time, an order was issued to let Yu Zuobai and Li Mingrui go to Nanjing to listen to the training, and made it clear that they should solve it completely.Zheng Jiemin also urged them three times a day to let them set off quickly. "Can we come back after going to Nanjing? This guy surnamed Jiang clearly took us as hostages. He should not stop, but he will suffer from it. Fuck him!" Li Mingrui yelled again. Yu Zuobai stomped his feet and made up his mind: "Forget it, let's fight him to the death, or fail. Let's vote for the Communist Party." Everything was expected by Zheng Jiemin. As soon as the anti-Chiang banner was erected in Guangxi, powerful figures such as Yang Tenghui and Lu Huanyan announced their support for Chiang Kai-shek. According to the countermeasures drawn up by Zheng Jiemin, the Nanjing side announced the removal of Yu Zuobai and Li Mingrui from their posts and appointment of Lu Huanyan. As the chairman of the Guangxi Provincial Government, Yang Tenghui was the director of the Guangxi Division, and the Chen Jitang Department of the Cantonese Army also marched straight into the territory of Guangxi.Li Mingrui couldn't help being panicked, and said angrily: "Zheng Jiemin is so powerful, you and I have had decades of friendship with Lu Huanyan and Yang Tenghui, but we can't compare to his sharp tongue, making us enemies. This Once we lost so much that we were afraid that we would lose even a chance to make money." Yu Zuobai didn't look depressed, he didn't answer Li Mingrui's words, but said to himself: "Zuoyu should have news." "Zuoyu" is Yu Zuoyu's younger brother Yu Zuoyu, a member of the Communist Party of China.He has been secretly building a bridge between the Guijun and the Communist Party. Through his introduction, Yu Zuobai and Li Mingrui made contact with Deng Xiaoping and Zhang Yunyi.After Deng Xiaoping showed great righteousness, Yu and Li expressed their willingness to join the Communist Party against Chiang. At this time, Zheng Jiemin gave another dose of strong medicine, that is, "pull Li and beat Yu", internal division.He obtained a letter of appointment from Chiang Kai-shek and appointed Li Mingrui as chairman of the Guangxi Provincial Government and commander of the 15th Army. When Deng Xiaoping heard the news, he just snorted lightly: "Chiang Kai-shek has played tricks again." Li Mingrui immediately woke up, and Chiang Kai-shek probably did the same with his traitors Yang Tenghui and Huang Quan.He straightened his face and assured Deng Xiaoping by patting his chest: "Chiang Kai-shek and Zheng Jiemin are too insidious. Brothers have learned enough about them." Li Mingrui is indeed a bloody man, and he has followed the Communist Party ever since.The power of the CCP also entered Guangxi on a large scale, launched a series of armed uprisings, and established the Zuojiang Revolutionary Base, which changed the situation in Guangxi.Zheng Jiemin's face was ashen. This trouble has become a big one. He knows the stakes. Chiang Kai-shek is not afraid of Yu Zuobai and Li Mingrui's rebellion, but he is afraid that they will hook up with the Communist Party. Sure enough, after Chiang Kai-shek heard the news, "Long Yan" was furious: "Zheng Jiemin is blind, and he can't even see the Communists around Yu Zuobai. Senior officers like Li Mingrui have run away with the Communist Party, which has a profound impact on the morale of the army. It is not a day." It can be eliminated." He immediately sent a telegram ordering Zheng Jiemin to return to Beijing to report on his work. After Zheng Jiemin returned to Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek kept refusing to see him, deliberately giving him a little psychological torture.Zheng Jiemin was in a state of anxiety all day long, so he asked Kang Ze, a classmate from Huangpu who was flushing purple, to ease his cheeks. "Zheng Jiemin has a great trust from the leader, but he is serious in his work. It is said that there is no credit but hard work. If the principal can give him a chance to make amends, he will be grateful." Kang Ze chattered endlessly. "Then let him go to the General Staff of the Military Commission. There is nothing important there, and it is just suitable for an incompetent person like him." Chiang Kai-shek was still angry. The General Staff Department of the Military Commission was a Qingshui yamen. At first, Zheng Jiemin couldn't stand his loneliness, he sighed and complained.Kang Ze was very disturbed when he found out, and reminded Zheng Jiemin: "Brother has also worked in the attendant's room. You should know the principal's character. If you are low-browed and pleasing to the eye, he may have a heart of compassion. If you complain, it will arouse his anger." , ask you a shameful crime, then you will never be able to get ahead." Zheng Jiemin broke out in a cold sweat, and bowed to the ground: "Thank you Brother Kang for your advice, I know how to deal with it." From then on, Zheng Jiemin studied in anger, and he dabbled in everything from politics, economy, military affairs to culture.He no longer hid from his former colleagues in the attendant room, but took the initiative to hand over a smiling face, inquiring about Chiang Kai-shek's every move, showing a look of nostalgia.Some colleagues in the staff department satirized him for "seeking his own government while not in his position", but he explained to himself solemnly: "This is called living in the arena, with the heart in the temple. Who is not willing to work beside the leader, that is the greatest honor." .Now that I have failed the principal's expectations, my heart is often filled with sympathy, which is also human nature." These words reached Chiang Kai-shek's ears, and he was very useful, "Children can be taught, and I am very relieved that Zheng Jiemin can have this kind of thinking." Kang Ze was also playing side drums: "Recently, according to the principal's intention, we must Establishing an organization similar to the Soviet Union's "GPU" (that is, the KGB), the "Fuxing Society" is short of manpower. Zheng Jiemin has experience in secret service work and is a student of the principal. There is no problem with his loyalty. Can he be held accountable?" The Fuxing Society was the predecessor of the military system. It consisted of secretaries, propaganda, organization, training, and secret agents. Among them, the Secret Service was the core. Chiang Kai-shek took a long time to choose the person in charge. Dai Li was the director and Zheng Jiemin was the deputy. Zheng Jiemin took office.It is not easy to work with Dai Li, who is very arbitrary and domineering.Fortunately, before taking office, Chiang Kai-shek made it clear that Zheng Jiemin would feel at ease as his deputy, and that he would be given a position in the military when he had the opportunity.With this confession, Zheng Jiemin didn't want to compete for the top spot in the spy field.In the Secret Service, Dai Li gave orders in terms of personnel, funds, internal affairs, administration, etc., and he was happy to be a hands-off uncle and didn't bother to worry about it. In the 1930s, China was in an eventful period. The smoke of the Fujian Incident had just cleared, and Chen Jitang, the "King of the South", raised the banner of rebellion again. When the news reached Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek snorted coldly: "Chen Jitang is a frog at the bottom of a well, and he can't make a big climate."He has always firmly believed that military affairs and politics should go hand in hand, and that subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest state pursued by military strategists. Zheng Jiemin naturally guessed what Chiang Kai-shek was thinking, and he was confident in his response.He had discovered Chen Jitang's changes years ago, so he had hidden the backbone of the Secret Service in Guangzhou for activities, and it was very effective.Yu Hanmou, commander of the First Army of Chen Jitang's Department, has promised to remain consistent with the central government and will never follow Chen Jitang in launching troops to cause chaos. Chiang Kai-shek said: "Chen Jitang has been plotting for a long time. He doesn't have a trump card in his hand and dare not challenge the central government. His trump card is the air force. Recently, Guangdong ordered a batch of Junkers from Germany. The air power is known as the best in the country. He is not very used to air strikes, he has fear, Chen Jitang also has this psychological advantage, destroying his air force will destroy his self-confidence, and the victory or defeat will be self-evident." "You can buy them here." Zheng Jiemin said very easily, he has already established relationships with many of Chen Jitang's air force generals through Xing Senzhou, the head of the South China District of the Secret Service. "It fits my heart very well." Chiang Kai-shek said to himself, and asked, "How much money do I need?" "20 million yuan." Chiang Kai-shek, who has always been generous and spends money like water, was taken aback and said: "With this money, I can form three aircraft fleets of the same size." Zheng Jiemin blinked his eyes, and calculated an account for Chiang Kai-shek: "This is much more cost-effective than buying a new plane, because buying one plane can only reach Guangdong one, and buying one is equal to two more than Guangdong; , training a pilot is more expensive than buying a plane, and buying one is equivalent to adding two. In this way, even if the price is four or five times as high to buy the Guangdong Air Force, it is worthwhile." "Your calculation is very reasonable, and you have a bit of political savvy." Chiang Kai-shek praised him sincerely. Money can turn ghosts around, 20 million yuan is piled up like a hill in one place, Guangdong Air Force General Huang Guangrui and others are staring straight.In a blink of an eye, the Guangdong Air Force, which Chen Jitang was so proud of, flew to Nanjing in unison, announcing their opposition to the separatist regime and defecting to the central government. The Air Force's betrayal caused Chen Jitang to lose his psychological support. He sighed and could only announce his resignation. When Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Guangzhou, he specially summoned Zheng Jiemin and praised him for his "accurate judgment and proper handling" in this operation, especially his "irreplaceable contribution" in buying the Air Force, and then took out a check as a reward for him. This time Zheng Jiemin was not overwhelmed by flattery, but faintly disappointed.He had hoped that with this credit, Chiang Kai-shek would allow him to leave the military.Many of his Whampoa classmates are now division commanders and army commanders, leading tens of thousands of troops to sit in one side, which made him ache with envy. Chiang Kai-shek knew what Zheng Jiemin was thinking.In the past few years, the work of the Secret Service has "remarkable achievements", and the cooperation between Dai and Zheng is quite tacit.After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek proposed at the Kuomintang Provisional National Congress held in Wuchang to expand the spy organization and establish "Central Unification" and "Military Unification", of which the Military Unification was based on the Fuxingshe Secret Service Office.Considering that Dai Li's qualifications were difficult to convince the public, it was decided that the Hunan Army veteran He Yaozu would be appointed as the director, with Dai Li as his deputy to preside over the daily work.As for Zheng Jiemin's position, Chiang Kai-shek was very troubled.Dai Li is good at fighting and killing, but he lacks composure and needs the help and reminder of people like Zheng Jiemin.But in order to highlight Dai Li's status, Zheng Jiemin can't be given the post of deputy director. He can only be wronged to be the chief secretary. Zheng Jiemin was very angry. Being under Dai Li was already shameless, but after all, he was still his deputy, and now he has become a subordinate, which made him feel uneasy. From then on, he didn't stick to the side of the military command at all, just excused that the staff department was busy with work and couldn't separate himself, and let Dai Li do the tossing.At this time, Dai Li was supporting his "Jiangshan Gang" (Dai was from Jiangshan, Zhejiang). Taking advantage of Zheng Jiemin's vacancy, he promoted his confidant Mao Renfeng to be the acting chief secretary, and began to establish the "Dai Dynasty" of the Military Command Bureau. Zheng Jiemin's idea of ​​leaving the Military Command Bureau has been around for a long time. He always believes that he is an authentic professional soldier and should gain fame on the battlefield.In addition, he also dislikes Dai Li, who is too lustful, bloodthirsty, cruel, and has no moral concepts and behavioral precepts.So he began to look for ways and asked for favors, hoping that Chiang Kai-shek would show mercy and let him find a place in the army. Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and said: "Zheng Jiemin has no self-knowledge. His talent is in the field of secret agents. He can't lead troops to fight. He needs to be brave and courageous. He lacks both." Zheng Jiemin's wife, Ke Shufang, also shook her head, and poked his forehead with her fingers and said, "Damn it, you've lost your mind! There are so many yamen in Chongqing, the only one is the Military Control Bureau. Gasoline is more expensive than gold in the market now. Secretary Mao (Mao Renfeng) delivered barrels to his home on a regular basis, as well as confiscated goods in short supply. Once you left, who would buy your pot of herbal tea? The eight children in the family all opened their mouths , relying on your salary, can you live a comfortable life?" Dai Li was also nervous when he heard that Zheng Jiemin was leaving the army.He was too rampant and offended many dignitaries in the court, such as Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu. They all attacked General Dai Li's command in front of Chiang Kai-shek and reminded Chiang Kai-shek to prevent Dai Li from getting lost.Chiang Kai-shek has always been very suspicious, and he has inquired privately several times, which made Dai Li feel nervous. So Dai Li made a special trip to Zheng's mansion, urging Zheng Jiemin not to leave the military command: "Director Zheng, if you want to relax, recently the Army University has set up a general officer class, which is a good place to study. The position in the bureau is reserved for you." , The big things are still up to you, we have always cooperated happily, don't bring in a stranger, everyone is awkward." After persuading Zheng Jiemin, Dai Li went to see Chiang Kai-shek again: "It is purely a rumor that Zheng Jiemin is leaving the army, but the students consider that he is a second-term student of Whampoa, and it is inconvenient for him to be under me. Please, the principal, can you accommodate me? My personal status is not important. .” Unexpectedly, Dai Li wanted to be an official for others. Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "I said earlier that revolutionary soldiers should think about doing things, not being an official. You can think about work and think about others. That's right. The matter of Zheng Jiemin I had planned for a long time to promote him to be the deputy director general of the second department of the Military Committee, but considering that you are his boss, you are a major general instead, so it took a lot of trouble (because the director of the Military Control Bureau He Yaozu is a lieutenant general, Dai Li His rank has been stagnant at major general for a long time).” Dai Li quickly said that it doesn't matter, he doesn't care about the rank of the army, what he values ​​more is the control of real power.Zheng Jiemin was kept in this way again. When he arrived in the class of generals in Lu, Zheng Jiemin studied hard, especially conducted systematic research on special agent theory, military intelligence, guerrilla warfare and other disciplines. The British were the first to realize the value of Zheng Jiemin.After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Zheng Jiemin, as an informal representative, and Du Yuming went to Nanyang to participate in the military meeting of the Allied Powers, and formulated a plan to defend Singapore. Zheng Jiemin lived in Nanyang in his early years, and he is also a caring person. He has conducted research on this issue and has his own unique insights.The commander-in-chief of the Southwest Pacific Allied Forces, Wei Feier, couldn't climb high, so he retreated to the next best thing and talked with Admiral Wei's staff about his ideas.According to Zheng Jiemin, Wei Feier's strategy of sticking to Singapore is only on paper: "There is an old Chinese saying that 'throwing pawns to protect the car', Singapore has no danger to defend, and it can't stop the wolf-like Japanese army at all. It is better to concentrate our forces to defend Indonesia. In addition From the point of view of combat psychology, the British army is alone overseas and their morale is not high. Now there is Indonesia as a retreat, and everyone has the idea of ​​escape. .” These words reached Wei Feier's ears, and he shrugged his shoulders: "Please tell General Zheng, I also know that there is an old saying in China called 'Worry about Heaven'. His worries are far-fetched. Her Majesty's soldiers are not cowards. More than enough Japanese 'ants'." Before Wei Feier's words fell, the sound of the Japanese army's attack on Singapore confirmed Zheng Jiemin's judgment.Only in a blink of an eye, the iron hooves of the Japanese army set foot on Singapore, and more than 60,000 British soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and Werfel fled to Indonesia in a hurry. After learning from the painful experience, Wei Feier began to look at Zheng Jiemin with admiration.When laying out the defense strategy for Indonesia, he specially invited Zheng Jiemin to participate, calling him an "outstanding military prophet". Many US military advisers in China also heard about Zheng Jiemin, so they invited him to come together and asked Zheng Jiemin to predict the time when the Allied forces would open up the second battlefield.This was the top secret of the Allied forces at the time, and everyone could only speculate and talk about it, but Zheng Jiemin was unambiguous, and his tone was as if it was a certainty: "There will be a good show in June 1944." The time was actually accurate to the month, which made many people shake their heads, but the facts proved that Zheng Jiemin's judgment was accurate.Even Wei Demei, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army stationed in China, gave a thumbs up in front of Chiang Kai-shek: "Your General Zheng has a very strategic vision. Talents like this will be taken seriously in the United States." Chiang Kai-shek also felt that his face was bright, and praised Zheng Jiemin more than once in public: "Everything is knowledgeable. Zheng Jiemin can get the attention and praise of the allied forces, and he often judges the development and results of the war accurately because he is a caring person. We will To win a battle, one must study topography, astronomy, oceans, folk customs, and even human psychology." Now, Chiang Kai-shek has used him as a multi-faceted talent, and he is mostly in charge of some prominent matters in the Military Command Bureau , such as presiding over the establishment of the Sino-Soviet Intelligence Cooperation Institute, assisting Dai Li in establishing the Sino-US Cooperation Institute, and participating in the Sino-US Joint Staff Meeting.Even when Chiang Kai-shek attended the Cairo meeting, Zheng Jiemin was appointed to be responsible for the security work.Zheng Jiemin is competent and happy in all the above tasks. But Zheng Jiemin also has something to scratch his head, which is dealing with the Communist Party.After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party not only competed on the battlefield, but also confronted each other at the negotiating table.Because Zheng Jiemin was good at dancing and eloquence, Chiang Kai-shek designated him as the representative of the Kuomintang in the Beiping Office of the Military Mediation Office to fight with the Communist Party. Zheng Jiemin's scalp was numb at that time, and it was not easy to deal with the Communist Party, so don't let Beiping become a mire of ruining his reputation.He talked to Dai Li about his thoughts. Dai Li was so excited that he slapped his thighs, and even said that the opportunity was rare, "It is said that comrades in this bureau can't get on the table, and now the old man has let us do serious things. This decision is very wise. The focus of post-war work is to deal with the Communist Party. It seems that the bureau's business is about to usher in new development and new expansion. You can go there with confidence, the bureau will fully support it, we need people and funds, this is our top priority right now." Near ink is black.Zheng Jiemin thinks he is elegant, but he has been in the military for a long time, and he has inadvertently acquired a naughty habit in his way of thinking and acting.The negotiation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is a very serious matter, but he likes to engage in some shady tricks, such as stalking, wiretapping, planting and framing, thieves yelling to catch thieves, etc., and so on.Zheng Jiemin once secretly ordered the special agent Luo Riming to send someone to follow the CCP staff living in the Beiping Hotel, and said sinisterly: "Watch out if they go to the brothel in Bada Hutong. If they find out, they will be arrested immediately. I will make the CCP make a big fool of myself!" The spy report failed to catch any braids of the communist party members. Zheng Jiemin gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "You are really idiots. Could it be that the Communist Party is not a human being and has no flaws?" Knowing this, the US representative blushed and said, "Zheng Jiemin General, you can't win the negotiation by relying on these small actions." Zheng Jiemin was also very angry. The Communists were too difficult to deal with. They seemed to be born diplomats. They fought with reason and restraint, and they always put themselves in a passive position.He shook his head and sighed, "It's a last resort for me to do this. Yankees are still pretending to be prudish. This job looks decent, but it's actually miserable." In February 1946, Dai Li's plane crashed near Nanjing, and the Military Control Bureau had no leader. As the "second in command", Zheng Jiemin took over Dai Li's class logically.Soon, the military command underwent a major reorganization and replaced it with the signboard of the Bureau of Secrecy, and Zheng Jiemin became the first director of the Bureau of Secrecy. The new official took office three fires, and Zheng Jiemin was determined to show his hands to the "old man" that he had done no worse than his predecessor, Dai Li.Cracking the CCP's underground organization in Beiping is his "masterpiece" that he often boasted about. One late night, Zheng Jiemin was reading at his desk in the apartment of the Beijing Military Mediation Office. Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Zhao Rongde, the "Ace" operator of the Secrecy Bureau, broke in sweating, and dragged him to the computer room. "What are you doing in the computer room? You're not on duty today." Zheng Jiemin asked calmly, but he knew in his heart that something big must have happened. “晚上被老婆数落了一顿，家中不得清静，所以躲到机房来。嘿，还多亏老婆这一闹，你猜我听到了什么？”赵荣德一边解释一边调弄着电台。 一道道陌生的电波回荡在郑介民的耳边，他是个内行，当年办中苏情报合作所，他主抓的就是无线电通讯。 郑介民神色凝重起来，十分肯定道：“这是共党间谍的秘密电台，这波长、频率、指法，我都似曾相识，而且一定有苏联人在背后。通知北平军警当局会同我们的人，带上刚从美国进口的探测车，一定要当场抓获。” 赵荣德坐在那辆进口探测车中，追踪着神秘的电波，随着他的一个手势，车子停在了兆东街24号。他跳将下来，一脚踢开大门，身后几名保密局特工如同饿狼一样蹿了进去。一切都发生在电光火石间，中共地下报务员李政宣和他的妻子张厚佩根本来不及反应，就被捕了。李政宣很快叛变，出卖了中共北平地下组织。 郑介民本来算定此事一定有苏联人的背景，有心抓住把柄，给苏联人一个难堪。但他亲眼目睹了李政宣使用的电台后大失所望，这不过是一架经过改装的老式电台。“共产党神着呢，他们的土家伙，有时比美国人的洋玩意还管用。”郑介民打心眼里佩服。 尽管上任伊始就撞上了大运，蒋介石也好好夸奖了他一通，又将他提升为国防部次长，但郑介民却没有坐稳保密局长的位置。半路上杀出个程咬金，一向不起眼的毛人凤公开站出来向他叫板，硬生生地将他的局长宝座掀翻了。 但蒋介石并没有对郑介民失去信任，这也是郑介民的滑头之处。因为他“惧内”的名声在外，一切贪赃枉法的事都推给了夫人。假如有人向蒋介石告御状，蒋介石也只得苦笑两声：“郑介民我是了解的，尚称清廉。只是家中河东狮吼，他也是不得已，这种怕老婆的人虽说没有太大的出息，但使用起来也让人放心，不会轻易越轨。”所以他还一度考虑让郑介民担任广东省政府主席，后来又打算让他负责组建新式机械化部队，试试他究竟能否带兵，但这些都因为形势变化太快而搁浅了。 自国民党溃败撤逃台湾后，郑介民一度离开了特工系统，毛人凤成了台湾的“特工王”。但没有多久，郑、毛斗法又续写了新的篇章。郑介民虽然心计不如后者，但他有一个毛人凤不可比拟的优势，那就是他是蒋经国在莫斯科中山大学的同窗。 蒋介石逃到台湾后，痛定思痛，认为国民党的派系斗争是造成大陆失败的重要原因。现在，他只相信一句话：“血比水浓”，蒋经国才是最亲的人。因此定下一个原则，一切工作重点，都要保证父业子传的顺利进行。 蒋经国血气方刚，他对国民党的老一辈早就看不顺眼，认为他们腐败、无能，所以要扶植属于自己的新生力量，其核心就是与他前后从苏联留学回国的国民党员，郑介民正是沾了这个光。 郑介民早把毛人凤恨到了骨子里，此番卷土重来，下手绝不留情，先是在蒋经国面前聒噪，将毛人凤负责的大陆工作处劈手抢过，接着又攫得台湾国家安全局的大印，当上局长。上任后的第一把火就烧向了毛人凤，把保密局降了一个档次，改为国防部情报局。另外在业务范围上也加以限制，只要他们负责大陆与海外工作，岛内的那一摊子，一概移交司法部调查局，毛人凤经营的家当被他剥夺了一大半。 毛人凤性格内向，这满腹的苦水只能一个人强咽着，终于积郁成疾，于1956年患肺癌在台北去世。他与郑介民斗了这么多年，终于还是郑介民笑到了最后。 毛人凤一死，郑介民也开始走下坡路。他与美国人的关系一向尚称融洽，经常参加一些涉外工作，在国民党高级将领中有“军事外交家”的称誉。这使他有点得意忘形，有些事开始借外人以自重，张口闭口“这是盟邦的意思”，却忘了蒋介石是疑心重的人。 “黄阳辉事件”让蒋介石疑心大发，并最终送了郑介民的命。 黄阳辉是台湾当局通缉的对象，公开的罪名是“共产党员”，其实此人与中共没有一点瓜葛，是个地道的台独分子。他在台湾建立了共和党，风马牛不相及地将之扯成美国共和党的分支，还说美国政府有意将台湾变成美国第五十一个州，那时，台湾的共和党可以参加美国国会议员的竞选。乱言惑众，台湾岛也曾被他闹得沸沸扬扬，连不少名流都成了他的追随者。 蒋介石不敢掉以轻心，掷下手令，立即捉拿黄阳辉归案。 黄阳辉身后有美国人支持，闻听风声后就一头扎进美国人的宅子中躲起来。但郑介民毕竟是老资格特工，有的是耐心，守株待兔等了整整两天，终于将这小子捉拿归案。 但郑介民低估了黄阳辉与美国人之间的特殊关系。黄阳辉被收监后，美国人即来探监。在台湾，美国人比在他们自己国家更随心所欲，台湾上下也轻易不驳他们的面子。于是他们在狱中转了一圈后，黄阳辉就仿佛地遁一般在狱警的眼皮底下“蒸发”了。 蒋介石这一下不由怒火冲天，他甚至怀疑是郑介民与美国人勾结，合演了这出“捉放曹”。郑介民不敢将这盆污水朝自己身上扣，辩白了几句。这就更激起了蒋介石的怒火，那腔调让人感到阴森森的：“是啊，你现在出息了，有美国人撑腰了，也没顾忌了，你弟弟郑挺锋身为国家官员赴美逾期不归，你的长子现在也在美国，你也可以不听我的话一走了之嘛。” 这番话让郑介民心惊肉跳。为了洗清自己，他向蒋介石保证：三日之内破案。 三天的期限转眼间就过去了，案子毫无头绪。蒋介石也不客气，当即下令给郑介民记大过两次，并下令一周内必须结案，否则，所有经办人员一律军法处置。 别说一周，就是一年，郑介民也是束手无策。他并非对黄阳辉的情况一无所知，他甚至猜到黄阳辉藏身的具体地点，但那里竖着美国星条旗，他是望洋兴叹。如果贸然行动，引起美国人恼火，发起难来，蒋介石还是要打他的屁股。 1959年12月11日，即黄阳辉从狱中逃跑后的第22天，台湾中央社报道了郑介民的死讯，死因据说是心脏病突发。但知情者都清楚，郑介民是引咎自杀，以死来表明自己的“清白”之身。 郑介民之死，让美国人大为触动，这件事闹到如此程度，已经有损美台关系了，于是将黄阳辉抛了出来了事。 蒋介石也是心生歉疚，两次去殡仪馆参加郑介民的悼念活动。台湾当局也随之发表褒奖令，追赠郑介民为一级陆军上将。郑介民活着时梦寐以求的东西，在死后总算是得到了。
