Chapter 72 Section 1

One day in July 1949, in the mountain city of Chongqing.In a certain mansion of Shangqing Temple, a middle-aged man with a strong figure and extraordinary bearing was carrying a briefcase and looked around vigilantly. When he was sure that no one was following him, he cautiously slipped into the mansion. This middle-aged man is Yang Jie, the second-level general of the Kuomintang, the former president of the Army University, and the former chief of the national defense staff of the Kuomintang. At this moment, he walked into the inner room, before he had time to wipe off the sweat on his face, he squatted down and hurriedly opened the safe.A scene that surprised and worried him happened.The safe was stacked in an orderly manner, and after a confidential document was touched on the fourth floor, it was randomly stuffed in the wrong order.This document is no small matter. It contains a detailed plan of the Kuomintang's attempt to instigate an armed uprising in the southwestern rear, echoing the Second Field Army of the People's Liberation Army that is about to enter Sichuan.For the sake of prudence, Yang Jie regarded it as his personal life, locked it in a safe, placed it on the fourth floor, and made a secret note.Although someone peeked at it and put it back in its original place, the careful Yang Jie noticed it.

He couldn't help but gasped, and slumped down beside the safe, sweat dripping down his face like rain.Just now, one of his high-ranking students sent a secret order from the military aircraft center. Chiang Kai-shek knew that he was a key member of the National Revolutionary Revolution, and that he had secretly communicated with Liu Wenhui, a local power faction of the Kuomintang in Xikang, in an attempt to contact local forces in the southwest and work together. Against Chiang. According to reliable sources, the military command has listed him as the chief culprit for sanctions, and the student finally persuaded him to leave Chongqing as soon as possible to get rid of Chiang Kai-shek's control.

Yang Jie understood that this unequivocal secret order was no longer groundless.According to his many years of experience in dealing with Chiang Kai-shek, he knew that his life was in danger at any time.Therefore, he hurriedly bid farewell to Liang Shuming, Hu Ziang and other well-known democrats, and rushed back to his apartment, preparing to avoid disaster and seek good fortune. Unexpectedly, the document was read from the safe. Doesn't this just prove the reliability of the secret order?So, who moved his safe?Yang Jie turned sideways and stared blankly at the two exquisite keys at his waist, feeling a sudden inexplicable tingling pain. Could it be that the things that never leave his body can be easily obtained by those close to him?Right now, the only person who can be said to be close to her is the beautiful female nurse who takes good care of her and becomes her confidante.

Yellow flowers and white hair accompany each other late, and people look at it coldly.General Yang Jie contracted a minor illness a few months ago and was admitted to a Kuomintang army hospital.When he was lying alone on the hospital bed, the female nurse in a white coat and a military uniform floated in with a medicine tray.The female nurse opened her small cherry mouth like a cry, with "General Yang" on the left and "General Yang" on the right. She gave injections and medicines gently with her hands, and recalled Yang Jie's achievements in the military for decades, which made Yang Jie greatly benefited.

By the time they were discharged from the hospital, the two of them had the affection they couldn't part with.But if you have a wife, how can a female nurse commit herself to be a concubine?What moved Yang Jie a lot was that the beautiful female nurse didn't take it too seriously, and insisted on making a bed for General Yang and forming a white-headed alliance. A philosopher once said that a person is most likely to get confused and lose his mind when he is in love.Yang Jie seems to be unavoidable.Not long after, he readily agreed, and got to the point of talking about marriage with that beautiful female nurse.

However, the safe file was passive, like a bucket of cold water poured on him.The current situation is difficult and people's hearts are not old. He never expected that his confidante would touch his documents.In this way, she was either bought by someone or the military commander deliberately set up a set of eyeliners around her. As expected of decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, Yang Jie's judgment was indeed correct.According to later historical data, the beautiful female nurse was the eyeliner specially arranged by the military commander.At this time, the top-secret document of the Revolutionary Revolution that she secretly flipped through was copied verbatim on Chiang Kai-shek's desk.Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he had originally included Yang Jie in the first echelon of the assassination list.After receiving accurate information that Yang Jie was trying to instigate the uprising of the Southwest warlords, Chiang Kai-shek could not sit still. He summoned Mao Renfeng and ordered him to immediately make Yang Jie the number one person for sanctions.

In fact, Yang Jie was once Chiang Kai-shek's favorite general.So why did the two turn against each other?This has to be analyzed from the historical origin of the two. Yang Jie, courtesy name Geng Guang, was born in Dali, Yunnan Province in 1889 in a local family of big landlords of the Han nationality. At the age of 10, he was admitted to the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall, and later entered the Baoding Army School to study. In 1907, he traveled east to Fusang and studied in Japan's Non-commissioned Officer Preparatory School, specializing in artillery.During this period, he joined the Tongmenghui and got acquainted with Chiang Kai-shek who also came to Japan to study from Baoding Military Academy.After the Revolution of 1911 broke out, Yang Jie returned to China and started his military career.After 10 years of fighting, he became a generation of famous generals and won the rank of lieutenant general of the army.Afterwards, Yang Jie gave up his alluring fame in the army, came to Japan again, entered the Army University of that country for further study, and graduated with the first place honors.

After returning to China, he gradually gained the trust and reliance of his old classmate Chiang Kai-shek. He successively served as chief of staff of the Kuomintang First Group Army, commander of the Second Artillery Group, chief of staff of the Army, Navy and Air Force Command, executive member of the Kuomintang Central Committee, president of the Army University, Chief of Education etc.Yang Jie is a well-known general in the army.He was once regarded as a reinvented person by the Yunnan Army of the Kuomintang. During the second Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, Yang Jie followed Chiang Kai-shek as the Chief of Staff of the First Army.Assisted Chiang Kai-shek to achieve a great victory.

Therefore, Yang Jie was highly regarded by Chiang Kai-shek.Later, when Jiang Fengyan fought in the Central Plains, Yang Jie made great contributions to Chiang Kai-shek many times.Chiang Kai-shek relied on Yang Jie to save the day in a crisis. He smiled and said to Yang Jie: "Geng Guang! We must have been captured if you weren't here." It can be said that Yang Jie and Chiang Kai-shek had a very close relationship.However, once upon a time, due to differences between the two parties on some major issues, the relationship between the two gradually became estranged, and eventually they parted ways and even became political enemies.

From 1938 to 1940, Yang Jie served as ambassador to the Soviet Union.During his stay in the Soviet Union, he often had secret talks with leaders such as Stalin and Voroshilov, and was highly valued. He won a large amount of military supplies and loans for China, and strongly supported China's war of resistance.He carefully studied the social system and military defense of the Soviet Union, carefully read the "Communist Manifesto", "Das Kapital" and other works, and his thinking changed dramatically.After returning to China, Yang Jie repeatedly advocated the reform of internal affairs and the implementation of a friendly policy towards the Soviet Union. Chiang Kai-shek was dissatisfied, and he was only granted an idle position as an advisor to the Military Commission, stayed in Chongqing, and sent people to secretly monitor him.
