Chapter 109 Section 5

The adjutant faltered and couldn't explain why.He knew that something was wrong, so he jumped into a small jeep parked outside the garage without even washing his face, took out the "special pass" he took from Shen Zui from his pocket, stuck it on the windshield of the car, and He took off the badge of the Southwest Military and Political Chief Office hanging on his chest and replaced it with the badge of the Yunnan Security Command. The driver of Zhu's family drove out. Please help me pack my luggage!" When he hurriedly drove out of the car and was about to go to the headquarters of the 26th Army, he met someone who came to arrest him.When they saw Xu Yuanju sitting in the cab, they turned the car across and blocked his way. This great executioner, whose hands were stained with the blood of countless revolutionary martyrs, had no choice but to stop the car at this time and catch him without a fight.

Zhou Yanghao saw that something was wrong that morning, so he immediately took off his military uniform, put on a blue silk cotton robe, and mixed with a large crowd of people waiting for the plane, but was still cleared out. The road we have taken.A few days ago, these devils manipulated the power of life and death of hundreds of people, showing off their might, and in an instant, they have been reduced to prisoners, and what awaits them is the judgment of history. After Xu Yuanju and others were arrested, they were detained in the Kunming Army Prison. In 1950, the "suppression of counter-revolutionaries" movement began. Shen, Xu, and Zhou were all the main culprits of the "Nine Nine Purges". The people were aggrieved and asked the government to deal with it.In order to facilitate the reform of these war criminals, in May 1950, the Southwest Ministry of Public Security decided to transfer these people to the Side Village Detention Center in Chongqing, and then to the Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center in Beijing.

Interestingly, Xu Yuanju, Shen Zui, Zhou Yanghao, and Cheng Xichao, known as the "Four King Kongs" of the military command, were arrested in Kunming on the same day and met each other again after being imprisoned.Xu Yuanju said sarcastically and intoxicated: "I thought you would be rich if you sold your friends for glory. I don't want you to fall into this situation." Regarding Zhou Yanghao, he was even more sarcastic, "There is only the brand of a major general, but not the demeanor of a major general." Zhou Yanghao said that he was "mean and less human, five big and three rough, ignorant and incompetent".

The three had such a quarrel that they could only separate in the end. At the beginning of 1973, Xu Yuanju died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and ended his sinful life in Beijing Fuxing Hospital. Shen Zui lived until the end of the 1980s and became a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The monographs he wrote on military command during his lifetime attracted Luoyang Zhigui, and he himself became a "unearthed" legend. Chen Yi, a Kuomintang leader on the assassination list, was kidnapped to Taiwan because his disciple Tang Enbo betrayed his teacher, and was shot dead in public.Bai Chongxi lost all his money and was wandering in Hainan. Chiang Kai-shek lied to him and said, "I can't do without brother Jiansheng in the military." After hearing the news, Li Zongren, who was far away in the United States, said disappointedly: "Jiansheng himself was arrested, and the end is worrisome. "

On the night of December 9, 1949, in the main building of Chengdu Beijiao Field.Surrounded by the fire, Chiang Kai-shek looked at the crucifix on the wall with dull eyes.Mao Renfeng held the telegram in his hands, and stood tremblingly aside.After a long time, a cold voice came out like an ice cave: "Speak, but it doesn't matter." "President," Mao Renfeng murmured, "I just received a telegram that Lu Han from Yunnan, Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou, and Pan Wenhua from Chuankang have openly telegraphed and voted for the Communist Party. Guo Rugui from southern Sichuan followed suit and surrendered. the Communist Party."

"Mother Xipi!" Chiang Kai-shek slapped the stove table and stood up abruptly: "People like Lu Han and Liu Wenhui have betrayed me, and now even my students have betrayed me. Who told the story of the farmer and the snake? Oh! It’s Yue Jun. It’s only because we are too soft-hearted and not careful, especially if we should not have illusions about these people. Let’s talk about Lu Han, knowing that he has signs of defecting to the Communist Party and treason, but I still feel sorry for him. I don’t blame you for having fantasies, but I should be blamed constantly.” Mao Renfeng waited for Chiang Kai-shek to stop talking, and asked tentatively: "Now we sanction a few of his unstable dissidents, so that we can deter those people."

"It's too late." Chiang Kai-shek sighed in disappointment, "The ancients said that you should not be behind others in doing things. We are always behind others. The troublemakers of the Democratic League were all taken away by the Communist Party from Hong Kong and Shanghai. The great officials in the frontier surrendered and ran away, even if they were on the sanction list, how many were sanctioned?" Mao Renfeng's face turned pale immediately, and he replied in panic, "President, it's all because of the ineffectiveness of the lowly position, who has failed the president's high hopes and the party and the country's deep kindness."

"I don't blame you." Chiang Kai-shek still waved his hand generously, turned his head and asked, "How was that Chen Yi treated?" "We have transferred him to Taiwan, where he will be strictly guarded by the military command, and there will be no mistakes. Should he be sanctioned immediately?" "No need now." Chiang Kai-shek raised his voice sharply, his eyes full of anger, "This Chen Yi is also the elder of our party and country. List, but I have never let you implement it. The purpose is to submit it to the military court for trial and public disposal, so as to warn those dissidents."

Who is Chen Yi, and why did Chiang Kai-shek hate him so much?This has to start with Tang Enbo and his teacher-student friendship.Chen Yi, like Yang Jie, was a veteran of the Kuomintang. He followed Chiang Kai-shek for many years and won Chiang's trust and respect. He successively held important positions in the military and political circles.When he became a lieutenant general in the army, Tang Enbo was depressed and helpless when he was young and wanted to find a way out for himself. With the guidance and support of his father's old friend Chen Yi, he was able to go to Japan to enter a military academy.After Tang Enbo returned to China, he joined the army and had nothing to rely on.After Chen Yi's promotion and strong recommendation, Chiang Kai-shek gradually reused and trusted him.Tang Enbo was very grateful for this, and people before and after called Chen "godfather".

In the later period of the War of Liberation, Chen Yi, then chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Government of the Kuomintang, was unwilling to fight a civil war.He was determined to use his personal friendship with Tang Enbo to instigate him to revolt.Therefore, Chen Yi then wrote a secret letter to Tang Enbo, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison, saying that the general situation was over, and instead of corrupting the place, it would be better to open a gap for the Communist army to cross the river.In order to be loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, Tang Enbo betrayed his teacher.He handed Chen Yi's letter to Chiang Kai-shek immediately.After reading it, Chiang Kai-shek was extremely angry, thinking that the disastrous defeat of the Kuomintang was caused by these disloyal officials.Jiang ordered Tang Enbo to arrest Chen Yi.At this time, the "Prince" Jiang Jingguo played another book because of Chen Yi's disrespect to him in the past.
