Chapter 11 Chapter 10 Fu Yisheng politely rejects Jiang Cun's fantasies

On November 4, 1948, Beiping Nanyuan Military Airport.An American-made "Sky Fortress" aircraft roared into the blue sky. On the plane was Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the "Suppression General" in North China. He was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to fly to Nanjing to attend a high-level military meeting.Facing the precarious situation, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to seize the power of Fu Zuoyi's department to save the mess, so he gave Fu Zuoyi a lot of courtesy.When Fu Zuoyi's plane slowly landed at the Ming Palace Air Force Airport in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek sent his sons Jiang Jingguo and He Yingqin to greet him at the airport, and drove to the accommodation together.

After Fu Zuoyi arrived at the place where he was staying, He Yingqin had a short rest, and He Yingqin had a secret conversation with him at Fu Zuoyi's residence.He Yingqin said that he was ordered by Chairman Jiang to convey two things: First, the chairman had made an internal decision to transfer Fu to be the military and political officer in the southeast, and all the troops were under Fu's command. The troops in North China were completely withdrawn to the south. The ships are ready and waiting to be called; secondly, under the premise of the previous one, Fu Zuoyi is invited to put forward his positive opinions on the combat plan that will be discussed at the military meeting held in the afternoon.

Fu Zuoyi, courtesy name Yisheng, was born in Linyi, Shanxi. Born in a peasant family in 1895.In his youth, under the influence of the trend of thought of "reorganize the army and practice military affairs, save the nation and survive", he started his career as a soldier. After graduating from the Baoding Military Academy in 1918, he served in Yan Xishan's Jin army system and participated in the Northern Expedition, Yan and Feng's war against Chiang, and the War of Resistance Against Japan. In 1939, he left Yan Xishan's army and served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth War Zone. In 1947, on the North China battlefield, after the two battles of Qingfengdian and Shijiazhuang, the strength of the North China Kuomintang army was severely hit by the People's Liberation Army. "Bandit" headquarters, appointed Fu Zuoyi as commander-in-chief.Pin the hope of saving North China from the decline on Fu Zuoyi. On December 6, 1947, Fu Zuoyi was in Zhangyuan, and soon moved to Peiping to take over the military command of the five provinces in North China.

Under the situation that the Kuomintang's ruling building was about to collapse, Fu Zuoyi had to think carefully about Chiang Kai-shek's arrangement.Fu Zuoyi is not a direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek. He is extremely dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's practice of rejecting dissidents, and the conflicts between them are deep. With the development of Fu Zuoyi's direct descendants, Chiang Kai-shek is wary of Fu Zuoyi and uses methods such as division and transfer to weaken Fu Zuoyi's military strength, and tried every means to place cronies and spies around Fu Zuoyi in an attempt to monitor and control Fu Zuoyi.By the second half of 1948, Chiang Kai-shek attempted to seize Fu Zuoyi's power and control North China in order to save the situation.Fu Zuoyi saw that Chiang Kai-shek was dying and his fate was irretrievable, and he was already disappointed in Chiang Kai-shek in his heart.They responded passively to some military deployments adopted by Chiang Kai-shek, and even sang against each other, and the conflict between the two further intensified. In October 1948, the People's Liberation Army launched an attack on Jinzhou. Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly flew to Beiping to plan to aid Jinzhou, intending to call Fu Zuoyi's main force, and ordered Fu Zuoyi to command the aid Jinzhou campaign.Fu Zuoyi refused on the grounds that he was inexperienced and unable to bear the heavy responsibility, and that he could only be effective if he was appointed to direct in person.Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to personally command and call his direct troops to aid Jin.At the same time, Fu Zuoyi transferred the arrogant 208th Division of Chiang Kai-shek's Youth Army from Beiping to Tangshan in order to show that he took care of the overall situation.Fu Zuoyi knew that Chiang Kai-shek, who was at the end of his life, asked him to withdraw his troops to the south at this time, and to entrust the military and political chief of the southeast, because he wanted to take the North China Guomindui convoy into his own hands, so as to save the crumbling Chiang dynasty.

In the afternoon, a high-level military meeting was held in the conference room of the Ministry of National Defense. The report on the battle situation made by the Ministry of National Defense was very gloomy. Northeast China was lost, North China was in danger, and Xuzhou was in danger. Pessimism and disappointment filled the venue.After the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek invited military and political officials to have dinner with him.After dinner, talk about the Pingjin issue.He Yingqin talked about it first. According to Chiang Kai-shek's intention, he advocated the withdrawal of Pingjin troops and all of them going south;Listening to He Yingqin's speech, Fu Zuoyi couldn't help frowning.When Chiang Kai-shek saw that Fu Zuoyi had a bad look, he asked him what he thought. Fu Zuoyi even said, "It's very difficult! It's very difficult!"

Fu Zuoyi made such a statement, and Chiang Kai-shek knew that there would be no results, so he had to say: "Okay, go back tonight and think about it, and talk about it tomorrow!" The next day, Chiang Kai-shek invited Fu Zuoyi to his official residence for a small high-level secret meeting.Here, there is one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps, and the security is strict.Fu Zuoyi understood that if today's statement was in line with Jiang's wishes, he would be able to go back safely; if not, he would be detained.At the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek first scolded Chen Cheng and Xiong Shihui: "Niang Xipi, Chen Cheng and Xiong Shihui only know how to fight for officials and seize power, and have no real skills. They have lost the entire Northeast." Chiang Kai-shek completely pushed the responsibility for losing the Northeast to Chen Cheng. , Xiong Shihui, and then, like a grimace, completely changed another face, doubly comforted Fu Zuoyi, and then told Fu Zuoyi to withdraw to the south again, half general and half encouraging Fu Zuoyi said : "I believe that you will never disappoint my great trust." Fu Zuoyi has dealt with Chiang Kai-shek for decades, and his understanding of Chiang Kai-shek can be said to be three-pointed.I thought to myself, at this time and here, I can't take the attitude of categorically refusing to withdraw to the south, otherwise, I will be in danger of being detained by Chiang Kai-shek, which will be detrimental to returning to Peiping quickly and grasping the situation.Therefore, when discussing the battle plan, Fu Zuoyi made a speech completely in the attitude of the main battle: "I think there is still a way to reverse the crisis in North China. There are still 600,000 troops in North China, which can fight and defend. Our army should stick to peace, Jin and Tang are to be fought against the sea. The plan of withdrawing to the south should not be carried out unless it is absolutely necessary, because sticking to North China is the overall situation, and retreating to the southeast is partial security."

Fu Zuoyi's impassioned speech was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Chiang Kai-shek, who had already had illusions about the current situation. Chiang Kai-shek appreciated Fu Zuoyi's persistence in Pingjin and supporting North China, and immediately expressed respect for Fu Zuoyi's opinions.As soon as the meeting ended, Fu Zuoyi went straight to the airport and flew back to Peiping. After Fu Zuoyi returned to Beiping, he began to make his own calculations. He estimated that the Northeast People's Liberation Army must rest and reorganize after the end of the Liaoshen Campaign.If we can seize this opportunity and expand the Kuomintang army in North China to 1 million, it will be more beneficial to our future.When the Northeast army entered the pass, Pingjin defended as soon as it could defend, and talked as soon as it could talk. With the backing of millions of troops, it formed a coalition government with the Communist Party, and in North China, it was evenly divided with the Communist Party, forming a one-on-one tie.At that time, the army will be handed over to the command of the coalition government, and the army will be able to preserve its own territory, which can be justified politically and accepted by subordinates.If the coalition government fails and Pingjin cannot hold on, then wait for an opportunity to flee westward to Suiyuan's old nest, or retreat southward when it is necessary.

At the same time, Fu Zuoyi also drafted a telegram to make peace with the CCP.The content of the message is to express the request for peace talks, unwillingness to fight another civil war, and for the peaceful reunification of the country, to request the Communist Party to send Nan Hanchen to negotiate, and to express the past fantasies about saving the country from peril and saving the people from the fire and water with Chiang Kai-shek at the center. This practice has been recognized as completely wrong.In the future, it is decided to focus on Chairman Mao and the Communist Party to achieve the goal of saving the country and the people.This telegram was dictated by Fu Zuoyi to his daughter Fu Dongju (an underground member of the Communist Party of China), and it was sent in early November 1948 through the Peking underground party radio station.But did not hear back.Therefore, Fu Zuoyi ordered his cronies to seek peace talks with the CCP in various forms and through various channels.

On November 18, Peng Zexiang (an early member of the CCP, who later left the party on his own initiative) and Fu Dingyi (Mao Zedong’s teacher when he was in Hunan) went to Shijiazhuang to find the CCP with Fu Zuoyi’s intention to form a coalition government in North China and put the army under the command of the coalition government. contact. Fu Zuoyi's above-mentioned changes, in addition to being forced by the situation, are largely due to the active work of underground members of the Communist Party of China. Beiping is a city with a glorious tradition of revolutionary struggle. For a long time, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the people of Beiping have fought heroically.

In September 1945, under the leadership of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China, the Beiping Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China was established, with Liu Ren as the secretary, Wu Guang as the deputy secretary and head of the Organization Department, and Zhou Xiaozhou as the head of the Propaganda Department.Under the municipal party committee, there are several underground party leadership organizations, including the Education Committee (student work committee), the work committee (worker work committee), the peace committee (civilian work committee), the railway committee (railway work committee), and the cultural committee (cultural work committee).Lead the various fronts to gradually carry out underground struggles.Soon, due to the development of the situation, the Beiping Municipal Party Committee was abolished. All five committees are directly under the leadership of the Urban Work Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China (referred to as the Urban Work Department).The Ministry of Urban Industry is located in Nanbo Town, Cang County, Hebei Province, and it is listed as Yongmao Company as a cover.Under the leadership of the Ministry of Urban and Industrial Affairs, the Beiping Underground Party, in accordance with the CPC Central Committee's underground work policy of "concealed and capable, long-term ambush, accumulating strength, and waiting for the right time", had developed about 3,000 underground party members by the eve of the liberation of Beiping in 1948. There are about 5,000 people in the secret peripheral organizations "Minqing" (Democratic Youth League) and "Minlian" (Democratic Youth League). They adopt various organizational forms and carry out extensive united front work. While vigorously carrying out student and worker work, they actively To win the sympathy and support of patriots from all walks of life, the struggle became more and more extensive and in-depth. In factories, schools, newspaper offices, railway bureaus, telecommunications bureaus, and even the Kuomintang party, government, military, police, constitutional, and special organs, underground Party members actively carried out various activities and organized anti-Chiang struggles.

One day in the spring of 1948, Wang Yan (Su), who was in charge of the enemy's work as a "Lieutenant Colonel of the Invalids" in Peking, was ordered to accept a new task at the Urban Works Department of Bo Town in the Liberated Area. Liu Ren, the Minister of the Urban Works Department, met him personally. There was also a young woman present.Introduced by Liu Ren, her name is Zeng Changning, a student of the Philosophy Department of Nankai University in Tianjin, and a member of the Communist Party of China.After Liu Ren introduced the two of them, he gave Wang Yan (Su) a task: to do the work of her father Zeng Yanyi through Zeng Changning, and to do the work of Fu Zuoyi through Zeng Yanyi. It turned out that Zeng Yanyi and Fu Zuoyi were not only classmates of Baoding Military Academy, but also sworn brothers. In 1927, he served as the head of the 4th Artillery Regiment of the Jin Army. He guarded Zhuozhou with Fu Zuoyi and was a friend in need. From 1928 to 1930, when Fu Zuoyi was the commander of the Tianjin Garrison, Zeng Yanyi served as the director of the Tianjin Municipal Public Security Bureau; when Fu Zuoyi was the commander of the 35th Army, Zeng Yanyi first served as the commander of the 218th Brigade and later as the deputy commander of the lieutenant general.After the Taiyuan Defense War in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Zeng Yanyi left the army and came to Tianjin to find a job.When Wang Yan (Su) and Zeng Changning broke up in Bozhen, Zeng Changning gave Wang Yan (Su) her home address.After a few days, Zeng Changning told Wang Yan (Su) that she had made an agreement with her father, saying that "a CCP friend wants to meet", and her father readily agreed. Since then, Wang Yan (Su) went to Tianjin to meet with Zeng Yanyi once or twice a month, discussing the current domestic situation.The talk was quite speculative, and Wang Ting (Su) persuaded Zeng Yanyi to go to Beiping and ask Fu Zuoyi for an army commander. With military power, things will be easy to handle.Zeng Yanyi was open-minded, so he made a special trip to Beiping to meet Fu Zuoyi. As a result, Fu Zuoyi only agreed to give him the false title of deputy commander-in-chief of the "Suppression General" in North China, and Zeng Yanyi returned disappointed.But Zeng Yanyi was not discouraged at the moment. He told Wang Yan (Su) that he could not directly do Fu Zuoyi's work, but could do Liu Houtong's work, and do Fu Zuoyi's work through Liu Houtong.Who is Liu Houtong?It turned out that Liu Houtong was a veteran of the Revolution of 1911. He served as the Minister of Military and Political Affairs of Gansu and the General Recruitment Envoy. He was the author of "Sun Tzu's Notes".At the same time, he is also the teacher of Fu Zuoyi and Zeng Yanyi, and has a particularly deep relationship with Fu Zuoyi. In 1928, Fu Zuoyi was single-handedly able to serve as the Tianjin garrison commander when the Feng army retreated. After Jiang, Feng, and Yan defeated Yan Xishan, Fu Zuoyi was able to serve as the chairman of Suiyuan Province. Fu Zuoyi's ability to leave Yan Xishan and turn to Chiang Kai-shek was all conspired by Liu Houtong; Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Houtong helped Fu Zuoyi's army to plan the battle of Bailing Temple.Liu Houtong has always been Fu Zuoyi's planner, and Fu Zuoyi has always followed Liu Houtong's advice.Now Liu Houtong is still Fu Zuoyi's senior political adviser, and his title is Lieutenant General and General Counselor of the North China "Suppression General".Because Liu Houtong lived in Tianjin and had frequent contacts with Zeng Yanyi, Zeng Yanyi made the above statement to Wang Yan (Su).Later, Liu Houtong did go to Beiping, and Zeng Yanyi was naturally employed here. At the same time, there was another reason, that is: Liu Ren also knew about the relationship between Liu Houtong and Fu Zuoyi, and he attached great importance to this working relationship.Liu Houtong's daughter, Liu Hangsheng, studies at Tianjin Yaohua Middle School and is a member of the Democratic Youth League, a peripheral organization of the party.Liu Ren then ordered the underground party in Tianjin to take Liu Hangsheng to the Ministry of Industry in Bo Town, personally asked her to do her father's work well, and through her father to do Fu Zuoyi's work. However, Du Renzhi, an underground member of the Communist Party of China, professor and political director of North China University, was the first to test Fu Zuoyi for the peaceful liberation of Peiping.Du Renzhi studied in Germany in his early years. He was a well-known scholar and served as a correspondent for the Third International of the Communist International. He was from the same hometown as Fu Zuoyi.Du Renzhi and Fu Zuoyi have been in contact since 1934.At that time, Du Renzhi joined forces with some revolutionaries in Taiyuan to organize a "Chinese and Foreign Language and Literature Society" for the purpose of introducing various treatises of foreign leftist newspapers and periodicals, and hired Fu Zuoyi as honorary vice president; Yan Youwen, the director of the association, his student, and Fu Zuoyi's fellow countryman, served as Fu Zuoyi's secretary; he recommended his younger brother Du Jingzhi, who was studying medicine in Japan, to be Fu Zuoyi's military doctor.Many of Fu Zuoyi's progressive actions, such as Suidong Anti-Japanese War and Taiyuan Defense, received strong support from Du Renzhi; during the Anti-Japanese War, at the request of Fu Zuoyi, Du Renzhi also introduced a group of political workers to Fu Zuoyi's ministry Work. After Fu Zuoyi occupied Zhangjiakou in 1946, he telegraphed the whole country, saying that if the Communist Party could win, Fu would be willing to hold the whip for it.When Du Renzhi learned of this, he immediately wrote to Yan Youwen and told Fu Zuoyi: "The wording of the telegram is arrogant, and the theory of holding the whip may come true. Let's see how the battle situation evolves." At that time, Fu Zuoyi naturally ignored it. Du Renzhi was originally a professor and dean of the law school of Shanxi University. Due to the danger of being arrested by Yan Xishan in Taiyuan, he came to Peiping in July 1948 under special excuses. Work.After Du Renzhi got Fu Zuoyi's security protection and accepted the invitation to teach at North China University.Then he began to contact the Peking underground party.After many twists and turns, I met Cui Yueli, member and secretary-general of the Peking Academic Committee in early August.Since then, under the direct leadership of Cui Yueli, he has carried out activities in the cultural and educational circles of Peiping, and focused on the work of peacefully liberating Peiping. When Jinan was liberated in September 1948, Du Renzhi wanted to take this opportunity to test Fu Zuoyi's attitude. Du Renzhi asked Fu Zuoyi: "Chiang Kai-shek's illusions about the US-Soviet war should be shattered; Song Meiling personally went to the United States to ask for help, and the American government and opposition parties treated each other with cold eyes; the People's Liberation Army captured Jinan and entered the stage of comprehensively seizing the city. Liberation, Wu Huawen's cooperation with the PLA played a big role. What do you think about the future of the war?" Fu Zuoyi said confidently: "The gains and losses of one city and one place in Jinan cannot determine the outcome of the battle; all major cities in Northeast China, except Siping, are in the hands of the national army; except for Shijiazhuang, all major cities in North China are also in the hands of the national army. I'm in control of the battle right now." Du Renzhi was obedient and not speculative, so he couldn't talk deeply, so he had to leave and return to his residence.At this time, Du Jingzhi, Du Renzhi's younger brother, served as the counselor of Fu Zuoyi's headquarters and the director of Huimin Hospital. He suggested that Du Renzhi go to the Friendship Office of Fu Zuoyi's headquarters, which is the senior guest house, to talk to Liu Houtong and ask Liu Houtong to persuade Fu Zuoyi.Du Renzhi talked with Liu Houtong several times, and the two had basically the same opinion, that is, he introduced Cui Yueli, the leader of the underground party in Beiping, to Liu Houtong as his friend. Since then, the three of them have often discussed and worked to promote Fu Zuoyi's peace talks. At the beginning of November 1948, Liu Ren, minister of the Ministry of Urban Works, urgently summoned She Diqing, Secretary of the Underground Party Student Working Committee of Beiping, to the Ministry of Urban Works of Bo Town, Hebei Province, to explain the current situation and give important instructions.Liu Ren pointed out: "According to the current situation, the Party Central Committee has decided to liberate Peiping. Fu Zuoyi may liberate Peiping through peaceful negotiations when Fu Zuoyi is in a desperate situation. The Party Central Committee has decided to negotiate peace with Fu Zuoyi. The attack on Beiping on New Year's Day will mainly be fought by the People's Liberation Army, and you will not engage in internal and external cooperation. You must immediately prepare for the liberation of Beiping. The main task is: vigorously publicize the current situation and the party's policies to the people, so that they understand our party's policies and support the PLA's the coming; keep as many intellectuals, technicians and other useful talents as possible; mobilize the masses to preserve documents, archives and material property, protect factories and schools, protect cultural relics, and welcome liberation; understand all aspects of the situation so that our army It can quickly establish a revolutionary order and manage the city." At the same time, Liu Ren also gave instructions on the establishment of the Beiping Liberation Headquarters and the members of the headquarters. After Liu Ren spent 2 hours making arrangements, She Diqing immediately returned to Peiping and immediately convened the Student Work Committee (referred to as the Student Committee), the Worker Work Committee (referred to as the Work Committee), the Railway Work Committee (referred to as the Railway Committee), and the Civilian Work Committee (referred to as the Work Committee) The people in charge of the Peace Committee for short) held a meeting to convey Liu Ren's work deployment, opened up the relationship between the various committees (the committees were not allowed to have horizontal relationships), and established a unified headquarters to welcome the liberation of Peking.The head of the headquarters is She Diqing.At the meeting, various specific tasks to meet the liberation were studied and agreed, and each committee issued and implemented them according to their respective systems.After the meeting, 3,000 underground party members in Peking, 5,000 underground members (Democratic Youth League, Democratic Youth League and other peripheral organizations of the party) and many activists took action quickly. This powerful underground army, through their Various relationships, mobilize and unite more people from all walks of life, and actively participate in the struggle to welcome the liberation of Peking.In accordance with the unified deployment of the party, all aspects of work have been carried out in an organized and planned manner. Cui Yueli, who served as the secretary-general of the Beiping Underground School Committee, assigned the work of the upper-level united front.He personally came forward to do Liu Houtong's work, and kept in touch with Liu Houtong for a long time, meeting twice a week.Du Renzhi knew that it was not so easy to understand Fu Zuoyi's thinking, so he asked Yan Youwen, who was the deputy director of Fu Zuoyi's political affairs department, to help Fu Zuoyi's work.In order to cover up this work, the Ministry of Urban Industry provided special funds for activities, allowing underground party members Liu Xuezhou and Wu Zhezhi to set up "Jinfeng Inn" at No. 48 Xinglong, Chongwenmenwai, Beiping. social place.After Liu Houtong's introduction, the comrades of the underground party got to know Fu Zuoyi's elder brother Fu Zuoren, deputy army commander Ding Zongxian, director of Fu's party, government and military directorate, Chu Xichun, chairman of the Kuomintang Hebei Province, and other people close to Fu Zuoyi.In this way, around Fu Zuoyi, an atmosphere tending toward peace and liberation gradually formed. Facing the situation in North China, Fu Zuoyi once again asked Liu Houtong for his views on the current situation. Liu Houtong took the opportunity to say: "Commander-in-Chief! The military and political situation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has developed to this day. I have already expected it. As I said, politics is the foundation of military affairs. And the military can win. The Nanking government is politically corrupt, the military and government officials are corrupt, Chiang Kai-shek’s actions are really not in line with the people’s hearts and the trend, and the Nanking government may not be able to last for a year or so.” Fu Zuoyi listened carefully to the teacher's analysis, and asked modestly: "What do you think, according to the teacher?" Liu Houtong advised him: "Now Pingjin is under siege, and it is impossible to go south, and Pingsui Road has been cut off, so go back to Suiyuan. It’s also impossible. Today, we must not be half-hearted, thinking wildly, or follow the people’s hearts, make a decisive decision, try to clear channels with the CCP, and carry out peace talks.” Liu Houtong also persuaded Fu Zuoyi to rely on air aid, stick to Beiping, and live and die with the city: "You can't destroy the ancient cultural capital in your hands, Fu Yisheng. The People's Liberation Army is coming everywhere. The city cannot be defended. Chiang Kai-shek can't take care of himself." How can I support you. Although the capital of the peace talks with the CCP is far less than in the past, but the peace talks are successful, Beiping will not be destroyed by the war, and the lives and property of the soldiers and civilians in the city will be preserved. It is very popular. The Communist Party means what it says, and its policies are very good It is clear that Gao Shuxun’s reuse after the uprising is an example, as long as you can accept a peaceful uprising, the Communist Party will not treat you badly, and only a peaceful solution can have a bright future for Peiping.” At this time, the Ministry of Urban Industry instructed the Peking School Committee to formally negotiate with Fu Zuoyi on behalf of the Communist Party.Based on Fu Zuoyi's current situation and attitude, the Peking Academic Committee decided to use Fu Dongju, the "trump card" in the peace talks, and Fu Dongju formally appeared to interview Fu Zuoyi's reflection.Fu Dongju is Fu Zuoyi's eldest daughter, an underground member of the Communist Party of China, and works as a reporter for Tianjin "Ta Kung Pao".Wang Hanbin, head of the Southern Department of Education, transferred her and her lover, Zhou Yizhi, an underground member of the Communist Party of China, to Beiping and stayed with Fu Zuoyi.She Diqing, head of the Beiping Liberation Headquarters, personally talked to Fu Dongju and told her: "Now the situation of the Liberation War is developing rapidly, and your father may accept peace talks. I hope he will lay down his arms and cooperate with the Communist Party to liberate Peiping peacefully." Fu Dongju immediately decided to go to his father and convey the intention of the CCP organization.Fu Zuoyi's career has been ups and downs for decades, and he has always been cautious in doing things. He was afraid that the "Military Command" spies would trap him through his daughter, so he asked Fu Dongju: "Is it the real Communist Party or the 'Military Command'? Don't be fooled! If you encounter a fake Communist Party, then Trouble." Fu Dongju said very seriously: "Dad, you still can't trust me. They are our classmates, the real Communist Party, not the 'juntong'." Fu Zuoyi asked again: "Is it sent by Mao Zedong or Nie Rongzhen?" Fu Dongju couldn't answer for a while, so she went to ask Yu Diqing how to answer.Yu Diqing clearly told Fu Dongju: "Just say it was sent by Mao Zedong." Fu Zuoyi said that he could consider it.This is a tentative formal contact completed by Fu Zuoyi's daughter Fu Dongju.After that, Fu Dongju stayed with Fu Zuoyi according to the arrangement of the underground party organization.The arrival of his daughter gave Fu Zuoyi great comfort.When he suffered successive defeats in the military and sat in a sad city, his only consolation was to enjoy the family happiness with his daughter.According to the arrangement of the party organization, Fu Dongju still kept the secret from her father that she was an underground member of the Communist Party of China, and only appeared as a progressive youth.Of course, it is impossible for an experienced father to be unaware of his daughter's arrival at this time.While taking care of his father in life, Fu Dongju persuaded his father not to go with Chiang Kai-shek, learned about his father's developments in all aspects, and reported them to the underground party organization in a timely manner.Fu Dongju reported Fu Zuoyi's demeanor, speech, and emotional changes to Wang Hanbin and Cui Yueli every day through Zhou Yizhi.Then, the underground party organization wrote these messages in time, and reported them directly to Liu Ren through the underground radio station, and Liu Ren forwarded them to the Pingjin frontline headquarters in time.The daughter of the commander-in-chief of the "Suppression General" in North China is a member of the Communist Party, and in turn, she did her father's work of instigating rebellion. This is something that outsiders can hardly imagine.This is also a legendary story in the history of our party's underground work.This quick and accurate understanding of Fu Zuoyi's dynamics and emotional changes played an important role in making correct judgments, making correct determinations, and making correct deployments for the Central Committee, the Military Commission, and the General Front Committee of the Pingjin Campaign. While arranging Fu Dongju to do Fu Zuoyi's work, the Beiping Underground Party also sent Li Bingquan to do Fu Zuoyi's work through his cousin Li Tengjiu.Li Bingquan was originally a student of Southwest Associated University. He joined the party in 1940 and came to Beiping after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.Li Tengjiu is Fu Zuoyi's major general liaison director and senior staff member.He has been following Fu Zuoyi, worked together for decades, shared joys and sorrows, and has a deep understanding of Fu Zuoyi's thoughts, words and deeds. Li Bingquan first made Li Tengjiu's thoughts clear, and then asked Li Tengjiu to talk to Fu Zuoyi.When Fu Zuoyi was extremely depressed, Li Tengjiu took the camera to speak to Fu Zuoyi several times, urging Fu Zuoyi to negotiate peacefully with the Communist Party.Red lines stretched into each of Fu Zuoyi's units. While doing Fu Zuoyi's work, the CCP's underground party organization was also actively doing the work of Fu Zuoyi's troops.Some troops have plans to revolt. At the end of 1948, the 92nd Army of the Kuomintang decided to revolt under the instigation of the underground party.As early as August 1947, Xue Chengye, secretary of the Beiping Underground Party and the Working Committee of Primary and Secondary School Teachers, established a relationship with Li Jieren, the military supply adjutant of the 92nd Army of the Kuomintang. Li Jieren was the nephew of Hou Jingru, the commander of the 92nd Army.When Li Jie went to study in the Liberated Area, Liu Ren asked him to do Hou Jingru's work. In October 1948, Hou Jingru served as the commander of the 17th Corps of the Kuomintang Army (the headquarters was located in Tanggu), and handed over the post of commander of the 92nd Army to his close friend Huang Xiang.During the Liaoshen Campaign, three divisions of the 92nd Army were transferred to Beiping, and Zhang Boquan, chief of staff of the 17th Corps, Hou Jingru's brother-in-law, was transferred to the 92nd Army as the commander of the 21st Division. One day, Li Jieren suddenly informed Zhang Boquan, commander of the 21st Division of the 92nd Army, that a friend of Han Zili had invited Zhang Boquan to meet at Hou Jingru's house in Qianyuanen Temple.This is how it happened?It is impossible for outsiders to understand, but Zhang Boquan understood everything when he heard it.It turned out that Zhang Boquan not only knew that Li Jieren was an underground member of the Communist Party of China, but also knew that Hou Jingru had joined the Communist Party during the Great Revolution. They lived in the same prison and lost contact with the Communist Party organization after being released from prison. Since then, they have committed themselves to the Kuomintang army.Some time ago, An Ziwen sent a letter to Hou Jingru, to the effect that: Zhou Enlai and He Long are very concerned about you, and hope you can make a difference.The sender was Han Zili mentioned above.Han Zili's friend is naturally an underground member of the CCP.So Zhang Boquan went to the appointment happily and met with an underground party member, Bian Lizhong.Bian Lizhong first analyzed the battle situation, and then pointed out the way out for Jiang's army. Zhang Boquan decided to hold an uprising.Later, Li Jieren and Zhang Boquan came to the home of Huang Xiang, the commander of the 92nd Army in Wangfujing Tizi Hutong. "Now that Beiping has been besieged, the situation is so critical, what is the commander's plan?" Li Jieren asked first. "Apart from being a prisoner or dying in battle, what other plans do you have?" The alert General Huang then asked, "What are your plans?" Li Jieren explained his intentions, and Huang Xiang hit it off immediately, because Huang Xiang knew the relationship between Li Jieren, Zhang Boquan, and Hou Jingru; and Huang Xiang was able to take over as the commander of the 92nd Army because of Hou Jingru's efforts. Huang Xiang has long had a view on the outcome of the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.Subsequently, the Beiping underground party sent Xue Chengye (Bian Lizhong's real name) to Zhang Boquan's headquarters; Zhang Boquan appointed Xue Chengye as a staff officer as a cover. Xue Chengye talked with Zhang Boquan through Li Jieren. Zhang Boquan said that if our army attacked the city, his 21st Division could make way for the People's Liberation Army to enter their defense zone.After Xue Chengye reported the situation to Liu Ren via an underground radio station, Liu Ren telegraphed that the 92nd Army should send a plenipotentiary representative to our army's frontline headquarters for negotiations.Li Jieren used a wireless phone to obtain Hou Jingru's consent, saying that the matter of the 92nd Army would be discussed by Li Jieren, Commander Huang Xiang, and Division Commander Zhang Boquan.Li Jieren and Zhang Boquan immediately asked Huang Xiang to explain Hou Jingru's intention. Huang Chengye expressed his willingness to revolt and agreed to send Song Quanxia, ​​chief of staff of the 21st Division, to our army's frontline headquarters for negotiations.At the same time, Liu Rulin, deputy commander of the 92nd Army, also strongly supported this action. On December 14, my underground worker Ji Hong accompanied Song Quanxia and Li Jieren from Beiping, and arrived at the headquarters of the 1st Corps of the Northeast Field Army the next day. Commander Xiao Jinguang met them and studied the action plan in detail.The 3 divisions of the 92nd Army were deployed in the area from Xizhimen, Yongdingmen to Zuoanmen, and the main force was deployed outside Yongdingmen.Song Quanxia asked Commander Xiao Jinguang to decide on the uprising. Xiao Jinguang said: "Our army can go straight to Yongding Gate from the southern suburbs of Beiping. After the battle starts, your army can withdraw to the southwest direction of Fangshan. Now stand still. The specific time of action is up to our side. Contact your army in time." Commander Xiao Jinguang also ordered that if the uprising of the 92nd Army was exposed, Army Commander Huang and Division Commander Zhang could immediately take the troops to the PLA-controlled area.That night, Song Quanxia returned to Peiping. The 92nd Army of the Kuomintang actively carried out preparations for the uprising in accordance with the requirements of our army. In late January 1949, the peace talks between our party and Fu Zuoyi were successful, and Beiping announced the peaceful liberation. According to the instructions of the superiors, the 92nd Army's independent uprising plan was canceled, and Fu Zuoyi's troops were reorganized together. The Iron Armored Corps of the Kuomintang Army stationed in Beiping has three brigades (1, 2, and 4 brigades), which are responsible for the defense of Qianmen, Yongdingmen, Guang'anmen, and Xizhimen. Yu Weizhe, the captain of the 1st Brigade, graduated from the 8th session of the Northeast Lecture Hall. In 1935, he served as the commander of the Communication Company of the 109th Division of the 57th Army of the Northeast Army He Zhuguo. In November 1935, he was captured by the Red Army in the Battle of Zhiluo Town and sent to the "White Army Officer Training Class" in Wayaobao.During his studies, he secretly joined the Communist Party of China, and was sent back to the Northeast Army to do underground work.Later, I lost contact with the party. During the Pingjin campaign, I searched everywhere for the relationship with the party. After many twists and turns, I found Comrade Wei Yan from the school committee.So, Cui Yueli asked Wang Yan (Su) and Wei Yan to come forward together and contact Yu Weizhe.The result of their discussions was that once the People's Liberation Army attacked the city, the 1st Brigade of armored vehicles would attack Yongdingmen from Qianmen Station to meet the People's Liberation Army's entry into the city;Yu Weizhe could also contact a squadron of the 4th Brigade and 2nd Brigade to participate in the uprising together.In addition, it was also discussed that Ma Ji, an underground party member, would be placed to work in the No. 1 Brigade of Armored Vehicles for the convenience of communication. Soon, Cui Yueli gave Wang Yan (Su) another task, asking Wang Yan (Su) to contact a division commander of the Kuomintang army.The division commander's relative is the lieutenant colonel's quartermaster, and the quartermaster's nephew is a student at Tsinghua University and a member of the Democratic Youth League.Obviously, the work started from the NLD members, and finally, the quartermaster came forward and asked to see the person in charge of the underground party.The quartermaster made an appointment to invite Wang Yan (Su) to meet at a Cantonese restaurant in Wangfujing.When the two met, after a few polite words, the quartermaster asked: "Our division commander entrusted me to contact the underground party. If there is an uprising, can the safety of life and property be guaranteed?" "can." "Would you like to meet our teacher?" "Can." The quartermaster made a phone call, and the division commander sent a car to take the two of them to the division commander's mansion near the beach. "What are you going to do?" Wang Yan (Su) asked the teacher straight to the point. "I'm a student of Mr. Jiang, so I can't be sorry for him; but I also don't want to resist the PLA's attack. Can you guarantee the safety of our lives and property?" Wang Yan (Su) solemnly stated: "Our Communist Party's policy is consistent. As long as you surrender and revolt, you must guarantee the safety of life and property." In the end, the two sides agreed that when our army launched a general offensive, he called all the officers of the division together for a meeting, so that our army could enter Beiping City peacefully through his defense area.That is, neither surrendering, so as to be worthy of "Mr. Jiang"; Feng Jiechen, the manager of the Beiping Enterprise Company, was from the same hometown as Liu Houtong and some senior generals of Fu Zuoyi, and they were close friends.After Du Renzhi came to Peiping, Feng Jiechen and Du Renzhi met at the same place in Liu Hou. The two had quite the same political views and hit it off right away.From then on, Feng Jiechen directly assisted Du Renzhi to do Fu Zuoyi's work through Liu Houtong.One day, Du Renzhi said to Feng Jiechen, whether to fight or to flee, Fu Zuoyi is uncertain, we have to make additional preparations.Then he asked Feng Jiechen: "Can you risk contacting Ding Zongxian?" Ding Zongxian was the deputy commander of the 35th Army newly formed by Fu Zuoyi after the Xinbaoan Campaign, and he was an old friend with Feng Jiechen.Regarding the peaceful liberation of Beiping, Ding Zongxian agreed.Ding Zongxian led his troops to defend Deshengmen and Andingmen at that time. If the peace talks failed, Ding Zongxian led his troops to revolt and open the door to welcome our army, so as to achieve the effect of internal cooperation and external cooperation. Wouldn't it be beautiful?This is the purpose of Du Renzhi asking Feng Jiechen to take the risk of contacting Ding Zongxian.Putting his personal safety at risk, Feng Jiechen gladly accepted the order and specially invited Ding Zongxian to have dinner at the Shandong Restaurant outside Qianmen, accompanied by Wu Sheng and Liu Xuezhou, underground workers under the leadership of Du Renzhi.The four of them became brothers on the spot and filled out the Jinlan spectrum. Ding Xianzong decided to follow Feng Jiechen's request.Everything has come true. At No. 81, Beichang Street, Dongcheng District, Beiping, Lieutenant General Shan Shu Chifengcheng, who lived in North China's "Suppression General", lived.这位中将,原来是西北军冯玉祥将军的部下,蒋、冯、阎中原大战,冯、阎失败后,他随孙连仲投蒋,抗战期间任国民党军第30军第31师师长,在台儿庄战役中立有战功,名噪一时。那时,第30军归孙连仲的第2集团军建制,第2集团军归李宗仁的第5战区指挥。孙连仲升任第6战区司令长官时,池峰城又是该战区所属第30军军长,孙连仲主持保定绥署的一段时间里,池峰城任保定警备司令。因而他同李宗仁,尤其同孙连仲,来往甚为密切。抗战胜利以后,李霄路由延安来晋察冀。刘仁得知军统北平特别站的情报科长李培基是李霄路的同学又是堂叔,于是便派李霄路负责北平军统特别站的工作。 李霄路来北平后,经冯玉祥将军的卫队长赵逸云介绍,就住在池峰城家。李培基的工作最终没有做成,但却通过池峰城了解了敌军不少军事情报。在刘仁两手准备的指示下,李霄路积极做池峰城的工作,让他劝说部下走和平起义的道路。这时,虽池峰城已不当带兵,但在抗战胜利后任职保定警备司令期间的旧部,仍有不少在北平军中,第101军尤多。为此,池峰城曾专门请他们到家赴宴,应邀者二三十人。席间,池峰城要他的部下在解放军攻城时加以配合,部下们纷纷表示:“我们听司令的,我们惟司令之命是从!” 另外,王延(苏)还做通了国民党军联合后勤司令部第5补给区副司令赵龙韬的工作,使他倾向我党,经常提供华北“剿总”系统后勤供应、兵力调运等情报。 12月下旬,国民党军统北平站少将站长徐宗尧也通过关系找到了地下党。王延(苏)同他谈了活,转达了上级党对他提出的要求。他执行了保护档案、保护政治犯等任务,并把北平站及军统内部的情况向我方作了详细交代。解放后,北平市公安部门比较顺利地进行了反特斗争,可以说徐宗尧功劳不小。 从以上不完整的情况来看,可以断言:假使傅作义不接受和平改编而迫使我军不得不诉诸武力,北平的解放亦在弹指之间了。
