Chapter 112 Section 8

Of course, these words reached Jiang Jingguo's ears. He had already seized the Central Command from Chen Lifu, and he was about to do everything possible to squeeze Mao Renfeng away, capture the Military Command, and monopolize the power of the intelligence and governance system.Due to the immaturity of the timing, he was unable to act for a while.Unexpectedly, Mao Renfeng jumped up first. Soon, Jiang Jingguo's subordinates discovered that an intelligence officer of the military command was detained for engaging in gold reselling.So, Jiang Jingguo moved up and down and sent someone to execute the intelligence officer.However, due to the haste of the incident, the wrong person was arrested again, creating an unjust case.Mao Renfeng seized the opportunity to instigate the family members of the unjustly deceased to sue everywhere, and at the same time instructed his subordinates to fan the flames, and even encouraged some people and groups to march and demonstrate in Taipei.

After Chiang Kai-shek intervened, Mao Renfeng took the opportunity to sort out a piece of material, pointed the finger at Chiang Ching-kuo, counted his mistakes in work, and took the opportunity to repeat the old tune to reform the military.After reading the report, Chiang Kai-shek hated iron for being weak, so he called his son and scolded him severely.Chiang Ching-kuo was respectful to Chiang Kai-shek and repeatedly admitted his mistakes, but after he came down, he hated Mao Renfeng even more. Afterwards, Jiang Jingguo, who was also scheming, kept his face open and prepared to take the method of poaching the corners of the wall and draw his salary from the bottom of the ax to win over Ye Xiangzhi, the director of the Second Division of the Secrecy Bureau, and entrust him with a heavy responsibility.In this way, the backbone of the army can be mobilized. After all the relatives and relatives leave, Mao Renfeng is left with only a bare-handed bureau chief.

But Mao Renfeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp.After he learned of Jiang Jingguo's actions, he did not stop doing two things. He used Chiang Kai-shek's name of "purge discipline" to collect all the evidence of Ye Xiangzhi's acceptance of bribes of 170 gold bars, and prepared to report it to Chiang Kai-shek himself.It turned out that Ye Xiangzhi, who has always been greedy for money and profit, took the opportunity of handling the case to arrest a well-known wealthy businessman, tortured him severely for the crime of "banditry", and finally extorted 170 gold bars.Due to the uneven distribution of spoils, a small spy under Ye Xiangzhi was furious and secretly reported to Mao Renfeng all about Ye Yu's transfer to Chiang Ching-kuo and the extortion of money.

According to the military command's traditional treatment of agents violating discipline, Ye Xiangzhi will neither be sent to the military law office of the army, nor will he be handed over to the local judicial investigation. Instead, he will be executed as treason according to the so-called military command's family rules. Ye Xiangzhi panicked, went to Jiang Jingguo weeping, and begged, "Director Jiang, you must save your brother. Director Mao wants to enforce the family rules (referring to the internal handling of the Secrecy Bureau) by 'cleaning up discipline'."

Jiang Jingguo was startled, and hurriedly comforted him: "Director Ye, don't worry, I'll talk to the president. How about this, you come to my place and serve as the director of the mainland affairs department." Ye Xiangzhi immediately burst into tears of gratitude, Jiang Jingguo's mainland office has a lot of money and is very powerful.Immediately, he wiped away his tears and told the inside out about Mao Renfeng's desire to fight for power with Jiang Jingguo.Jiang Jingguo knew in his heart that Mao Renfeng took the opportunity to punish him, and Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Peigong.

Immediately afterwards, he personally rushed to Chiang Kai-shek's office, saying, "There is a senior agent in the Secrecy Bureau, Ye Xiangzhi. Due to the difficulties in his family life, he accepted a little gift, and Mao Renfeng wanted to punish him severely. I think this person is a talent. He has many important tasks, and he is a first-time offender, and the bribe has already been refunded, can you let him take the crime and make meritorious deeds?" "Oh. Now that we want to clean up discipline, we shouldn't accept gifts. But if it is true that talents are rare and loyal to the party and country, they can still stay. I know Ye Xiangzhi. If Yang Jie is punished, he will do a great job. Of course Chiang Kai-shek would not refuse his son's modest request, not to mention that he had always had a good impression of Ye Xiangzhi.

Chiang Kai-shek had always devoted himself to cultivating his son, but now that he saw Jiang Jingguo talking with him, he decided that Ye Xiangzhi could be reused, so he agreed to Jiang Jingguo's request. Unexpectedly, just as Jiang Jingguo left with Shangfang's sword in hand, Mao Renfeng then sent Ye Xiangzhi's materials. He wanted to use the opportunity of "purge discipline" to kill this disloyal subordinate, which was also a warning to Jiang Jingguo . Unexpectedly, when Chiang Kai-shek saw the material, he was very angry: "What the hell did you do? Ye Xiangzhi is obviously a good cadre, why do you have to punish him?"

Mao Renfeng didn't dare to argue, and left in despair.He once again experienced the power of Jiang Jingguo, and finally realized that he himself could not beat Jiang Jingguo.He was a little desperate. Ye Xiangzhi got a blessing in disguise, and was transferred to Jiang Jingguo's subordinates and became a confidant.Mao Renfeng was even more distressed. He knew that he would not work for a long time. In desperation, he thought of Song Meiling.So, he brazenly begged to come to the door.At this time, Song Meiling and Jiang Jingguo had gradually become at odds because of the power struggle.

"Madam, you know me well." Mao Renfeng begged pitifully: "I have followed the president for many years. This incident was mainly caused by Ye Xiangzhi's corruption. If I Knowing his relationship with Director Jiang, I will discuss it with Director Jiang. This is really a misunderstanding!" "Director Mao, the president and I know you well, you have served the party and the country faithfully." Soong Meiling finished praising Mao Renfeng.Then, she pondered for a while: "Okay, let me mediate this matter for you. You are all doing intelligence work, so you have to work together."

Mao Renfeng was so grateful that he didn't know what to say: "Thank you Madam, thank you Madam." After Song Meiling's mediation, Jiang Jingguo finally withdrew his plan to bring down the Bureau of Secrecy.However, he and Mao Renfeng have never had a good relationship. Mao Renfeng escaped the catastrophe by luck, but he could no longer save the decline of the military command. The apparent peace between Jiang Jingguo and Mao Renfeng did not bring life to the latter. In the spring of 1955, Premier Zhou Enlai led the Chinese delegation to attend the Bandung Conference.After Mao Renfeng learned about it, he immediately reported to Chiang Kai-shek as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and then hatched a terrifying conspiracy.Plans to use a time bomb to carry out an assassination when Premier Zhou's Air India chartered flight "Princess of Kashmir" stops at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport in advance.

Chiang Kai-shek immediately became excited as if he had received a shot in the arm, and ordered Mao Renfeng to start implementing it, preparing to deal a heavy blow to the nascent people's regime. Mao Renfeng patted his chest and said: "President, please rest assured, the students promise to complete the task without any mistakes."
