Chapter 98 Section VI

Arriving in Chongqing, Chen Cheng and Chiang Ching-kuo met the plane.Jiang Jingguo asked Song Ziwen to tell Long Yun that Chiang Kai-shek had a banquet that night.Long Yun was still angry, and excused himself on the grounds that he was tired. The next day, Song Ziwen took Long Yun to see Chiang Kai-shek.Chiang Kai-shek finally fulfilled his wish to pull down the "King of Yunnan" who had been out of his control for many years, and truly brought his kingdom into his own governance. He was in a good mood.He was very courteous to Long Yun, and he pretended to apologize slightly in his words.

Long Yun restrained his full of resentment and said, "I have only had two officers in my life, one is Tang Jiyao and the other is you. I have served under your leadership for a long time, and I do not feel sorry for you, the country, or the locality. It is a very common thing for the government to change positions, but it is too much to adopt an abnormal method, and to use such an extraordinary method. Doing so may leave a bad influence on the people of the country.” I Chiang Kai-shek smiled secretly: I don't need to use extraordinary means, can I move you?Not too much, will you obey me?But he explained again and again: "My instructions are not like this. This is Du Yuming's mistake, and he must be punished!"

Long Yun said again: "I am not in good health, and I would like to rest in Chongqing for a long time. As for the position of the Chief of the Military Senate, please appoint another talented person." Chiang Kai-shek said repeatedly: "No, no!" After that, Long Yun did not take office in the Military Senate at all, and stayed behind closed doors.When the senior generals of the Military Senate came to visit, he refused to meet him, and even if Chiang Kai-shek came to see him, he would not only come out of the courtyard to greet him, but he would not even come out of his room; , Send each other off.

After arriving in Chongqing, Long Yun loved to read articles criticizing Chiang Kai-shek. He often recommended the CCP's "Xinhua Daily" and Xinhua News Agency news to others, and tried his best to promote Chiang Kai-shek's opponents.When discussing the current situation, as a senior official of the Kuomintang, he always said: "This road will not work, go to Mao Zedong!" to vent his anger. The name is the President of the Military Senate, but he is actually under house arrest.Long Yun did not forget to take revenge against Jiang, and he pinned his hopes on Lu Han.However, since he left Yunnan, Chiang Kai-shek has strongly controlled Yunnan. Lu Han, the successor provincial chairman, used to have more than 100,000 soldiers. Now even the guards of the provincial government belong to Chiang Kai-shek. What is the comeback of cousin Long Yun?

After Long Yun left Yunnan, Kunming, the "fortress of democracy", lost its asylum, and the military and police spies ran rampant. The "December 1" tragedy and the murders of Li Gongpu and Wen Yiduo occurred one after another. will not happen.Hearing these news, Long Yun felt sad. He said: "It is very rare for some literati to be so unafraid of violence and sacrifice their lives for righteousness!" He asked someone to greet the families of Li and Wen. In 1946, the capital of the Republic of China was moved from Chongqing to Nanjing.Long Yun ended his monotonous and boring life in Chongqing for 229 days, and was coerced to Nanjing.

In Nanjing, he was treated very well, but he was under surveillance and house arrest, and he felt depressed.In order to test his freedom, Long Yun proposed to go to Hangzhou to watch the tide, but Chiang Kai-shek made excuses to refuse; his daughter Long Runbi went to study in the United States, and Long Yun wanted to see him off in Shanghai, but he didn't do so.The next door and the diagonally opposite door at No. 156, Nanjing Zhongyang Road, Long Yun's residence, are the eyes and ears of special agents; directly opposite, the secret service simply opened a shop to monitor Long Yun's activities day and night.

After finally solving Long Yun, Chiang Kai-shek strictly guarded against him getting out of control and Xianyu turning over. In the autumn of 1948, the CCP began to launch three major campaigns, the Kuomintang was defeated like a mountain, and the Chiang Kai-shek clique began to arrange retreat, and Long Yun's fate reached a turning point again.This year, Long Yun, who was in Nanjing for a meeting, came to pay a visit. Long Yun found the opportunity and said to his old subordinates: "Dufu (referring to Chiang Kai-shek) wants to send me to Taiwan!" Back then, the "King of Yunnan" burst into tears.

Through the secret contact of Miao Yuntai, an old subordinate in Yunnan, Chennault, the former commander of the 14th Air Force of the U.S. Air Force who fought side by side with Long Yun in Yunnan and the current general manager of the Flying Tigers, was very sympathetic to Long Yun's situation and agreed to help Yunlong flee. Chennault did not take any money, and carefully arranged. On December 8, 1948, Long Yun finally escaped from Nanjing, took the special plane provided by Chennault to Guangzhou, and arrived in Hong Kong by ship the next day!After being under house arrest for three years, two months and one day, Long Yun was freed.

When Long Yun was found to have escaped, Chiang Kai-shek scolded Zhang Zhen, commander of the gendarmerie, as an "idiot", and several "idiots" who were directly responsible for monitoring Long Yun were executed by shooting. After arriving in Hong Kong, the major newspapers in Hong Kong expressed great concern about the arrival of this legendary figure who escaped death, and published the news of "General Dragon Coming to Hong Kong" the next day.On the 12th, the Central News Agency released a message saying that Long Yun "has to move to another place for recuperation due to health issues. He has been granted sick leave for February. On the 8th of this month, he will be transferred from Jingfei Guangzhou to Hong Kong for medical treatment."

Long Yun lives in Repulse Bay.In order to prevent the KMT's pursuit and assassination, he proposed to the Hong Kong Governor's Office that he came to Hong Kong for "political asylum", and the Hong Kong Governor's Office provided him with security protection. Long Yun, who was finally free, became active after a period of reclusive life.Feeling very happy that Chiang Kai-shek's regime was at stake, he successively sent his wife Gu Yingqiu and his third son Long Shengzeng back to Kunming for activities and instigated Lu Han's uprising against Chiang. On August 13, 1949, Long Yun issued a joint statement with 43 other people in Hong Kong, severely denouncing the Chiang Kai-shek clique for betraying Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles, defecting to imperialism, and implementing fascist dictatorship; expressing support for the CCP and calling for the patriotic Kuomintang Party members broke with Chiang Kai-shek.The next day, he received reporters with a happy face, and revealed in his answers that the Yunnan Uprising was imminent.Hong Kong newspapers immediately published it with the headline "Long Yun Instigated the Yunnan Uprising".

The Chiang Kai-shek Group no longer has superficial tenderness for Long Yun. In mid-September, Mao Renfeng deployed several spies including Ye Xiangzhi to sneak into Hong Kong, with the task of assassinating Long Yun.On the day before the attack, the secret agents temporarily adjusted their tasks and pointed their guns at Yang Jie, the former president of the Army University in Hong Kong and former ambassador to the Soviet Union. On September 18, Yang Jie was assassinated. After the incident, under the strict search and arrest of the Hong Kong British authorities, Ye Xiangzhi and others had no chance to attack Long Yun, and directly left Hong Kong for Taiwan.Ye Xiangzhi said: "Long Yun is so lucky!" Long Yun was born and died all his life, and this time he escaped. Yunnan, which he was most concerned about, despite repeated urgings, Lu Han remained silent.By the end of the year, there was news that Lu Han was preparing to revolt, but he wanted the CCP to give him an order to show that he obeyed the CCP.Long Yun patted his thigh anxiously, and said, "Lu Yongheng is still the brains of an old officer! Do you have to get a warrant before you can do it? Now is not that era, as long as you do it, people will recognize you!" On the night of December 9, 1949 in the Republic of China, more than two months after the founding of the CCP and the defeat of the Kuomintang, the long-awaited Chairman Lu Han of Yunnan Province finally took action. More than a dozen spy leaders in the country raised the five-star red flag on the Wuhua Mountain Observatory, announcing the Yunnan Uprising and waiting for the CCP to accept it. Upon hearing the news, Long Yun immediately sent a telegram to his fourth son Long Jowen in the United States. The telegram was just one sentence: "Lu Han changed on the 10th!" His joy was beyond words.
