Chapter 51 How to Murder Yang Hucheng in Section 2

Before Chiang Kai-shek went to the field and was about to leave Beijing, Li Zongren saw this scene: At this time, Yu Youren suddenly chased after him in a doldrums, shouting: "President? Election for president? Election." Mr. Jiang paused to ask what was the matter.Yu Youren said: "For the convenience of the peace talks, can I ask the President to issue a warrant to release Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng before leaving Beijing?" After finishing speaking, he quickened his pace and left.Yu Youren, a seventy-year-old man with a big beard, walked back slowly under the gaze of everyone, and everyone left the venue sadly. ("Memoirs of Li Zongren", page 898)

Chiang Kai-shek was already in a bad mood, and Yu Dahuzi unwittingly brought up the unpleasant past. His anger was palpable. "Let's find Delin to do it" is the best excuse. He is in the hands of his secret agents. Can Delin handle it?Poor old Yu You, who got a bad nose.Once again, it shows that Chiang Kai-shek's resignation does not leave power, and the "common people" who retreated to Xikou can still detain political prisoners, and if the detention is insufficient, they can even murder.Yang Hucheng was murdered by spies before the liberation of Chongqing, from himself to his second son, from his second son to his youngest daughter, to secretary Song Qiyun and his wife and their children (both children were under ten years old), to adjutant Yan Jiming, As far as guard Zhang Xingmin was stabbed to death.The secret agent killed someone for his master, but Li Zongren did not know about it on behalf of the president, which proves that the secret agent is completely Chiang Kai-shek's personal spy.

Chiang Kai-shek hated Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, the two protagonists of the Xi'an Incident, even more than Zhang.He always believed that Yang was the mastermind at first, but Zhang Xueliang, who was brave enough to act, repeatedly stated that he was the mastermind, and even said that Yang was burdened by him.Jiang's "Soviet Russia in China" said: "The most unexpected point of this matter is that the initiator is actually Zhang Xueliang himself, and the first person who proposed this hijacking claim was Yang Hucheng. And before the incident, there was no Have any discussions with the Communist Party on this matter." ("President Jiang Gong's Thoughts and Speeches Collection" Volume IX, p. 71) Although Zhang was finally accepted as the "initiative", it is still necessary to say that Yang was the one who proposed the hijacking first.Jiang hated Yang, because Yang did not obediently "repent" after the Xi'an incident, but insisted on speaking harshly and exposing Jiang's scars.

After Zhang Xueliang accompanied Jiang back to Beijing, he set up a "serial set" and was forced to stay by Jiang Beixin.On the second day after Zhang Xueliang was tried by military law on December 31, 1936 (New Year's Day, 1937), the people of Xi'an marched to protest against Chiang Kai-shek, and Yang Hucheng issued a "Letter to the People".In this "Letter to the People", it is obvious that under the atmosphere of Zhang Xueliang's military trial and the anger of the people of Xi'an, Yang Hucheng tried his best to control himself and insist on the general situation, affirming the correct orientation of the "Xi'an Incident" and affirming Chiang Kai-shek "completely adopted our proposition", and he avoided mentioning the matter of Zhang Xueliang's military court trial of Chiang's promise not to blame the past. This is obviously to leave room for the aftermath.

However, in addition to this public "Report to the People", Yang Hucheng did not avoid mentioning Zhang Xueliang's situation, but argued hard on the grounds. Ruo Gan, showing righteousness to the world, if there are people's hearts, can you not be moved? Xuan Nai actually detained Han Gong and sent troops westward." After that, he called Chiang Kai-shek on January 5th and said: "The situation here, Deputy Commander Zhang, does not go out for a day. Return, that is, the military and civilians in the northwest will be uneasy for a day." Two days later (January 7), Chiang Kai-shek replied, although he promised that Zhang Xueliang would "restore power" if he delayed, but in fact, Zhang Xueliang's public power lasted for nearly 60 years. None were recovered.The doubts that Yang Hucheng and others had back then were not without reason.The details of this doubt are detailed in their "Ge Dian" on January 5th.On the same day, January 5, the Kuomintang announced that Gu Zhutong, a direct descendant of Huangpu, was the director of the Xi'an camp, Sun Weiru was the chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, Wang Shuchang was the director of Gansu appeasement, and Yang Hucheng and Yu Xuezhong were dismissed and retained.On the same day, various national salvation groups in Xi'an held a joint meeting to demand the release of Zhang Xueliang.On February 5th, Yang Hucheng and others issued the "Declaration of Peace", once again exposing the Kuomintang's lack of trust and ignorance.Ten days (February 15th) after Yang Hucheng and others "declared hereby," the Third Plenum of the Kuomintang Central Committee held a meeting. However, the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to say: "It doesn't matter what the content is, but since the act of rebellion and the way of threat are obviously used as an excuse to create chaos, it does not enforce the law of the country." Military discipline does not tolerate it, so we should ignore it and follow suit.” ——The Kuomintang is obviously being unreasonable, "regardless of its content", it will be reckless to the end.

Chiang Kai-shek's reckless way was to completely wipe out the Seventeenth Route Army in the Northeast Army and Northwest Army.As for the Northeast Army, he told the Northeast Army: Don't be in Shaanxi anymore, go to the north of Jiangsu and Anhui, and pick the chairman of Anhui Province for you.As a result, the Northeast Army moved to northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui. In addition to Yu Xuezhong as the director of Jiangsu appeasement, the chairman of Anhui Province broke his promise and became fat. As for the Northwest Army, he told the Northwest Army: You don’t want to be in Shaanxi anymore, you go to Gansu , and pick the chairman of Gansu Province for you.Even so, it is imperative to drive Yang Hucheng out of the country.On April 27, Yang Hucheng was forced to resign from his positions as the director of the Xi'an Appeasement Office and the commander-in-chief of the 17th Route Army, and prepared to leave Xi'an.On June 16, the Kuomintang issued this order:

Yang Hucheng is hereby appointed as the military commissioner for European and American inspections, this order. In this way, after the Northeast Army "captured the thief and captured the king", the Seventeenth Route Army of the Northwest Army also "lost its head".Yang Hucheng was scheduled to leave Xi'an on the morning of May 27. When the news spread, the people of Xi'an, the 17th Route Army, various national salvation groups in Xi'an, and teachers and students of various schools all flocked to the airport to see him off. Many people shed tears.After he arrived in Shanghai, some students also went to the foothills of Zhongnan Mountain, collected many flowers and plants in their hometown, pasted them on several souvenir books, wrote warm sentences, and sent them to him from afar, expressing the memory of the people for him, they seemed to have a premonition To: Is it difficult for General Yang to come back?

Yang Hucheng left the country on June 29. On the eighth day after leaving the country, the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident" occurred.On the 11th, he sent a telegram to Song Ziwen, saying: "The Japanese invaders invaded the country, and the country will lose the country. When the bad news came, the Fifth Central Committee was indignant. Brother, as a revolutionary soldier, how could he bear to escape abroad at this time, and planned to return to the country from San Francisco to fight against the enemy. I pray that Chen will be transferred to your seat." Arriving in San Francisco on the 14th, Song Ziwen called back and said, "Looking at the current situation, please return home later." He was not allowed to come back.He delivered a written speech in San Francisco that day, saying:

I am a revolutionary soldier and a strong believer in Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles.Participated in the revolution for more than twenty-five years.I fully understand the origin and trend of Japanese imperialism's consistent invasion of China.Defending the country is the duty of a soldier, and I have always been resolute in resisting the Japanese invaders.The Marco Polo Bridge Incident is a major issue that endangers the life and death of the Chinese nation. How can I stay out of it and linger?That is, plan to return to China part-time, request missions, perform battles, and die for the country? Choose

Yang Hucheng was abroad, and called Chiang Kai-shek three times, asking him to go to the country together, but Chiang Kai-shek did not reply.Yang Hucheng had no choice but to call Song Ziwen again, and Song Ziwen replied: "This is the time of the national war of resistance. Comrades from all sides have gathered to go to the national crisis. Although the elder brother has not received the call, the younger brother should return home automatically." From Europe to Hong Kong.Unexpectedly, on November 26th, as soon as Yang Hucheng's ship docked at the pier, the spy chief Dai Li sent spies Jiang Guoguang, Xie Yingzhou, Yang Bin, and Dade to "welcome" him.Four days later (November 30), he left Hong Kong and flew to Hankou, where he visited his old boss Yu Youren. He was about to have dinner when he brought his guy over and said that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to meet him in Nanchang and asked him to come immediately.He didn't even eat, so he rushed to Nanchang, but Nanchang is not Nanchang, but a tiger's den. Since then, he has been illegally imprisoned, and he will be imprisoned for 12 years? To choose the famous general of the Kuomintang who first advocated the resistance against Japan, one day He was also not allowed to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, but he was "sat through the prison" like Zhang Xueliang? Even Zhang Yang could not fight the Japanese for the sake of the Anti-Japanese War, and he was destined to go to prison for the Anti-Japanese War.Yang not only "sat through the prison", but also illegally killed him before the Kuomintang withdrew from the mainland. The massacre was carried out in secret. It was only after Zhou Yanghao spoke that the circumstances of the massacre became known to the world.According to the "Interview with Zhou Yanghao on the Death of Yang Hucheng" published by Hong Kong newspapers, it is as follows:

Mr. Zhou Yanghao is from Jiangshan County, Zhejiang Province, and belongs to the same hometown as Dai Li and Mao Renfeng, the spy chiefs of the Kuomintang.It was also because of Dai Li's introduction that after graduating from the Law Department of Shanghai Law School in 1932, Zhou Yanghao joined the early Kuomintang spy organization, the Fuxingshe Secret Service, in 1933.At that time, the person who supervised Zhou Yanghao's oath to join the spy organization was Tang Zong, who is still serving as a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang in Taiwan.From then on until he was captured in 1949, Zhou Yanghao worked as a spy for the Kuomintang for sixteen years.Especially in 1949. 1949 was the year of the Kuomintang's great retreat in the mainland. During the great retreat, there were great destruction and massacres everywhere, especially in the southwestern regions such as Chongqing, Chengdu, and Kunming.It was at this time that Zhou Yanghao "received orders in danger" and served as the director of the security department of the Chongqing Garrison General Headquarters and the deputy head of the Southwest Special Zone of the Secrecy Bureau. He carried out orders from the spy chief Mao Renfeng, including the case of murdering Yang Hucheng. Originally, in 1946, the Anti-Japanese War had already been won, and the Political Consultative Conference was held. The Communist Party requested the release of political prisoners such as Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng, Luo Shiwen, and Che Yaoxian, but the Kuomintang obediently followed suit.Yang Hucheng was transferred from Xifeng Prison in Guizhou to Yangjiashan in Chongqing. Mrs. Yang died of mental torture soon after.After Chiang Kai-shek went to the field, Li Zongren ordered the release of political prisoners. Yang Sen in Chongqing did not dare to call the shots and asked Zhou Yanghao to make a long-distance call to Mao Renfeng in Shanghai.Mao Renfeng didn't dare to call the shots, so he went to ask Chiang Kai-shek, who was already a commoner in Xikou, but this commoner blatantly ignored the orders of "acting president" Shi Yang.When Li Zongren sent a plane to pick up Yang, the agents were ordered by Chiang to transfer Yang to Guiyang.Yang refused to transfer, but because of his trust in Zhou Yanghao, Zhou accompanied him to Guiyang. Yang's secretary Song Qiyun, Song's wife Xu Lifang, youngest son Song Zhenzhong, and two adjutants Yan Jiming and Zhang Xingmin accompanied him.After Yang Hucheng and his party arrived in Guiyang, they lived in Qilin Pavilion in Qianling Mountain. This happened in February 1949.In August of this year, the Communist Party captured Changsha, and the entire Southwest was shaken. The Kuomintang arranged a large-scale retreat with many projects, one of which was to kill Yang Hucheng and start the big job of "I'm unlucky, you can't live".Mao Renfeng held a secret meeting in Chongqing to swear allegiance to President Jiang, and Zhou Yanghao was also present.It was decided to order Zhou to lure Yang and others back to Chongqing, and go to the "Daigong Temple" in Songlinpo, inside the Sino-US Cooperation Institute, to carry out the killing task. As the name suggests, "Daigong Temple" is the ancestral hall in memory of Dai Li. The ancestral hall is a feudal thing. Why is the Kuomintang, which calls for revolution all the time, so feudal?In fact, it is so feudal? Select "Daigong Temple" was originally a luxurious building in the "Sino-US Cooperation Institute", which was built by Dai Li specially for Chiang Kai-shek. After Dai Li died, he set up a spiritual tablet inside and renamed it "Daigong Temple" ".After this "Daigong Temple" was lost along with the mainland, the Kuomintang built another "Daigong Temple" in Guanyin Mountain, a suburb of Taipei, and built "Yunong Library" and "Yunong Primary School" in Zhishanyan. , "Mr. Dai Yunong Memorial Hall", according to the "Mr. Dai Yunong Chronicle" published by the Intelligence Bureau, did they still "set up a statue" for Dai Li? How about choosing "the two old directors Zheng Jiemin and Mao Renfeng to accompany Dai Li" who inherited Dai Li's career? How about "revolutionary martyrs Zeng Che, Wu Gengshu, Ma Kedi, Jiang Zhiqiang, Feng Yunxiu... from the Intelligence Bureau of the Secret Bureau of the Military Command Bureau...to share"? Choose "Sacrifice to the statue", "Sacrifice to accompany", and "Share to share", Is this the system of a complete Confucian temple? It would be too "overreaching" to choose this, right?However, it is not surprising that the people in Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty built the ancestral hall for Wei Zhongxian, which was also imitated in the Confucian Temple? This time Zhou Yanghao tricked Yang back to Chongqing on the grounds that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to meet Yang Hucheng and then fly to Taiwan.Under the leadership of the special agent captain Zhang Hu, Yang and his party walked into the "Daigong Temple".Hu Zhang said: Zhengzhong, the son of General Yang Hucheng, followed closely behind, holding a box full of ashes of his mother, Mrs. Yang.This year, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his hair was already grey.At this time, Yang Jinxing, Xiong Xiang and others, the executioners who had been watching them, were afraid that Yang Zhengzhong would resist, so they decided to attack them in different rooms at the same time.When Yang Zhengzhong walked up the stone steps and entered a bedroom in the main house, Yang Jinxing quickly stabbed him in the waist with a dagger from behind, and he screamed, "Dad? Xuan!" before he could struggle, he fell down.At this time, Yang Hucheng, who was walking in front, knew something was wrong, and was about to turn around to take a look, but it was too late, and by then, the experienced executioner had already stabbed the bayonet into his abdomen.General Yang Hucheng struggled a few times, but also fell down. After Yang Hucheng's father and son were murdered, Yang's secretary Song Qiyun and his wife arrived with their two children, and they were also stabbed to death with a dagger.Although the two children knelt down and begged for mercy, the spies did not let them go and died in a pool of blood.The two children were Yang Hucheng's eight-year-old daughter, and Song Zhenzhong, the son (some say daughter) of the secretary Song Qiyun and his wife, who was less than ten years old. Their innocent deaths at such a young age are the most heartbreaking. (See Intoxicated "The Inside Story of Military Regime", pages 223-239) Yang Hucheng was murdered by secret agents ordered by Chiang Kai-shek, who had already left the wild, on September 6 (one said it was the 17th). Mao Renfeng also preached to the killing agents that "President Chiang will reward him for his meritorious deeds."More than two months after Yang Hucheng was massacred (November 30), the Kuomintang lost Chongqing, and of course lost their "Daigong Temple".On the second day after Chongqing was lost (December 1), some clues were obtained from eleven guards near the captured "Dai Gong Temple", so Yang Hucheng's body was exhumed.Because the face had been burnt with water and could not be identified, some cadres of the 17th Route Army of the old Northwest Army were called for an autopsy, and it was finally proved that it was correct, so the truth of this bloody case was exposed to the world. ——The world really knows: Another protagonist of the "Xi'an Incident" died tragically like this? Choose Yang Hucheng, a generation of heroes, to participate in the revolution because of opposing political darkness; Stabilized the Northwest for the Kuomintang; because he asked Chiang Kai-shek to resist the Japanese and save the country, his family was ruined, and after many years in prison, he died tragically by the sword.In his youth, he swore in a poem: The mountains and rivers in the northwest are high and long, How can a man go back to his hometown? The waves behind the Yellow River push the waves ahead, Jump on the waves and do it? Choose In the end, he was a man all his life, and died in a foreign country. After a big fight, he paid a blood debt that could never be repaid.When Chiang Kai-shek was defeated, he still did not forget to kill him, his seventeen-year-old son, and his eight-year-old daughter before fleeing to Taiwan.Today, the Kuomintang is far away from the Yellow River at the end of the waves, but the sword light and blood shadow of "Daigong Temple" and the candle lighting and incense of "Daigong Temple" are blood sacrifices that people are getting closer and closer to. Chiang Kai-shek went to the field three times in total, and each time he had to kill the general to vent his anger. The first time he killed Wang Tianpei, the second time he killed Deng Yanda, and the third time was the most vicious.It can be seen from this that although Chiang Kai-shek is the number one war criminal in the Communist Party's list, he is also a murderer, criminal and innocent murderer in the minds of all people with conscience.
