Chapter 44 Section 44 dismantled Wang Jingwei, but got a fatal disease later

On December 29, 1938, Wang Jingwei left Chongqing, passed through Kunming, and arrived in Hanoi. On New Year's Day in 1939, the Central Committee of the Kuomintang held a temporary meeting, and it was decided that Wang Zhaoming would be expelled from the party and all his posts for endangering the party and state forever. On May 3, under the strict protection of the Japanese, Wang Jingwei went directly from Hanoi to Shanghai.He first lived in the Hongkou Japanese Military Region, and there was a slogan in Shanghai at that time, that is, "No more than Sichuan Road and Bridge!" Because as soon as he crossed Sichuan Road and Bridge, he left the concession and went to the Japanese-occupied area, which is despised by Shanghainese. "Bad soil".

Wang Jingwei lived in Sichuan Luqiao for a few days, then moved across the bridge and lived in No. 76, Qianjisifeier Road. This is a spacious and deep garden house, originally owned by Chen Tiaoyuan, Japanese It was occupied and allocated to Wang Jingwei as the venue for holding the pseudo-"KMT National Congress". The "Congress" convened by Wang Jingwei decided on the so-called "peace plan" and "the re-election of the president and members of the Central Committee". , 40 million yuan per month is used as funds to buy party members, recruit soldiers, and actively arrange the establishment of a puppet traitor regime that acts as a minion.At this time, due to Wang Jingwei's high status in the Kuomintang, many Shanghai party members and people in business and financial circles who were loyal to the Kuomintang were bewitched by them. Almost the entire organization in Shanghai was shaken by it.

Therefore, Wu Kaixian, the former chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee who served in the 6th Department of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, was ordered to go to Shanghai. There were more than ten private letters from banking leaders Li Fusun, Qin Runqing, etc. Wu Kaixian went alone from Chongqing to Hong Kong via Kunming, Hanoi, and went to visit Du Yuesheng alone. At this time, Xu Caicheng made full use of his favorable time and place and "human harmony" to become Du Yuesheng's general in Shanghai.For many confidential tasks, he often travels between Shanghai and Hong Kong. In October 1939, Xu Caicheng returned to Shanghai in Hong Kong.In less than two days, Du Yuesheng crossed the sea as usual in the afternoon to report to Luo Shitar for meeting guests and work. He was discussing matters with Weng Zuoqing and Hu Xuwu when he raised his head suddenly and saw Xu Caicheng pushing the door in hastily. He was stunned and asked:

"Didn't you just go back? Why..." "There is an urgent matter," Xu Caicheng sat down and replied, "I have to come to Hong Kong on the same ship." "What urgent matter?" Du Yuesheng asked anxiously. Xu Caicheng didn't answer, took out a note from his pocket, and handed it to Du Yuesheng.When Du Yuesheng took it to read it, he saw that there were only nine words on the note: "Anyway, Gao Jue hastened to negotiate with Yu." "Gao——Is it Gao Zongwu?" "yes." "Who wrote this note?" "Mr. Huang Suchu asked Xu Jiyu to write it."

"Who is Huang Suchu?" "He is the financial and economic think tank of Liang Qichao of the Progressive Party. He is also an old Japanese student. He has a deep relationship with the Japanese. He used to be a member of Congress. He did business before the Anti-Japanese War. Because of business failure, he went to Japan to live in seclusion. He is Gao Zongwu's elder, Gao Zongwu has received a lot of help from Huang Suchu from studying to becoming an official." "Brother Caicheng, but do you recognize this Mr. Huang?" "No, Mr. Huang is a friendly fellow of Xu Jiyu's."

Du Yuesheng asked in bewilderment: "How did this big thing happen to us?" So, Xu Caicheng said exactly what he said.It turned out that when he returned to Shanghai this time, as soon as he arrived home, Xu Jiquan visited him and told him: Gao Zongwu, as the director of the Asia Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was initially stationed in Hong Kong to engage in intelligence work. Great wish, and because Inuyang Ken, the son of the former Japanese Prime Minister Inuyang Takeshi, was a classmate of the Japanese Emperor Daidai.Inu Yangjian was very active in the Japanese intelligence agency "Mei", and for various reasons, Gao Zongwu became the go-between between Wang Jingwei and Japan.

"I know this person," Du Yuesheng interrupted him. "A while ago, the Overseas Chinese Daily in Hong Kong published a piece of news, vaguely pointing out that Gao Zongwu's travels to Shanghai and Hong Kong were secretly seeking peace. Gao Zongwu was very unhappy when he read it. Threatened to sue Huaqiao Daily. A friend from Huaqiao Daily asked me to come forward to explain, and I sent someone to tell Gao Zongwu, this friend was very loyal, and immediately agreed to see my face to dispel the original intention." "Mr. Du and Gao Zongwu still have this kind of relationship, so it would be even better," Xu Caicheng said happily, and added: "Gao Zongwu and Wang Jingwei came to Shanghai later, and they have always been important people in charge of negotiations, but Soon after he arrived in Tokyo, Prime Minister Konoe announced the "Secret Sino-Japanese Treaty". After talking with him, he found that the so-called "peace treaty" by the Orientals was even more ruthless than Article 21. If this "peace treaty" is signed, then the entire The fate of the country and the nation will be ruined, so he felt hesitant and depressed, so he ran to Xiaobin Village in Nagasaki, found Huang Suchu, whom he respected, and asked him for advice."

"Did Huang Suchu teach Gao Zongwu anyway?" "Gao Zongwu himself had this intention," Xu Caicheng replied, "According to Mr. Huang, Gao Zongwu believed that what he was engaged in was a peaceful national salvation work, and it was definitely not a traitor to glory. Mr. Huang just encouraged him, woke him up, and promised to help him." Please try to contact Chongqing on his behalf." However, because Huang Suchu was a member of the Progressive Party, he was not without prejudice against the Kuomintang. He met Gao Zongwu in Nagasaki, and Gao Zongwu also arrived in Shanghai shortly after returning to Shanghai.Xu Jiyu and Huang Suchu were good friends from the same village, so Huang Suchu went to find Xu Jiyu, had a secret talk, and finally mentioned how to arrange Gao Zongwu anyway, so that he could escape from Shanghai safely, but also ensure that the Nationalist Government would not blame the past and allow him to make a contribution. offence.After hearing this, Xu Jiyu immediately said:

"If you want to find such a person, or there is only Du Yuesheng." Huang Suchu said that although I don't know Du Yuesheng, but this person is a chivalrous man, and he speaks a lot, but he is well-known and known by everyone.I can rest assured that he can agree to undertake this matter. Du Yuesheng heard Xu Caicheng say this, and asked: "Gao Zongwu is the person in charge of negotiating with Japan and Wang. If he is anyway, can the content of the secret agreement Wang Jingwei made with the Japanese be brought out and made public?" Xu Caicheng said flatly: "Of course there is no problem."

So, Du Yuesheng suddenly got up, clapped his hands, and said loudly with joy: "Brother Caicheng, this matter is related to the future of the Anti-Japanese War and the overall situation of the country. It is indeed worth a try. You will stay in Hong Kong for two days. I will take the latest flight to Chongqing. I am going to see Chairman Jiang and report to him in person. " On November 5, 1939, Du Yuesheng flew directly from Hong Kong to Chongqing, visited Chiang Kai-shek, and asked Gao Zongwu how to deal with it anyway. Du Yuesheng had an audience with Chiang Kai-shek, and as a result he received instructions from the Chairman of the General Assembly: "Reverse Hong Kong as soon as possible, and proceed in secret."

Du Yuesheng was very excited, took the plane of China Airlines, and left Chongqing excitedly to go back to Hong Kong. However, halfway through the flight, the plane he was on encountered Japanese military planes shooting and chasing him. In order to save the lives of the plane and passengers, the pilot desperately circled and climbed to escape the bombardment of the enemy planes.The civil aviation plane fled, and the enemy plane followed closely. At this time, the civil aviation plane had neither air conditioning nor various comfortable and safe equipment. Du Yuesheng was on the plane, feeling the world spinning for a while, gold stars bursting out, and his body violently swayed back and forth. From time to time, the falcon flew up and down, which made him dizzy and almost fainted. Finally, the plane climbed to an altitude of 8,000 meters. There was no oxygen on board, and the high-altitude air was thin. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he closed his eyes and simply waited for death. Fortunately, the enemy plane chased to an altitude of over 8,000 meters. Seeing that the pilot of the civil aviation plane was tossing and rising, his technique was very high, and it would be futile and effortless to chase him any further, so he made a turn and flew away.The enemy plane gave up its target, and this plane was considered to have recovered its life. However, Du Yuesheng was particularly miserable. He couldn't stop panting and couldn't sit down. He had to lie on the plane all the way to Hong Kong. The family members, relatives, friends, pupils and disciples of Du Mansion in Hong Kong are all at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, waiting for Du Yuesheng to return from Chongqing. Everyone talked and laughed, and the time passed unconsciously. Suddenly, someone shouted loudly: "No, the time has passed, why hasn't the plane arrived yet?" One sentence reminded everyone, send someone to the airline to ask.As a result, the airline replied: "We don't know either." In fact, they had received news that the passenger plane had been attacked by Japanese military planes, but in order to avoid commotion and uneasiness, they were ordered to keep the secret from the person who received the plane. As time went by, looking northward, there was still no sign of the plane. The people in Dumen became more anxious. Blessed by the heavens, the pilot Lai's skill is superb, he has escaped from the enemy plane and is flying towards Kai Tak Airport without any injuries. The person who picked up Du Yuesheng at Du's mansion applauded and shouted: "Amitabha!" The airline staff looked serious again, nervously looking for the person who picked up Du Yuesheng, and said at the beginning: "Mr. Du Yuesheng was exhausted at high altitude. According to the pilot's notice, a stretcher needs to be prepared." Everyone's hearts sank in unison just now, and they hurriedly found the airport medical room and found two stretcher-carrying workers. As soon as the plane arrived, they rushed to the plane first, and carried Du Yuesheng, who was panting and unable to stand up, to the hospital. Get off the plane. This is the origin of the asthma that made Du Yuesheng worry and suffer for 12 years, seriously damaged his health, and finally made him unavoidable to die.He escaped with his life in this enemy plane attack, but in exchange for a body full of diseases and constant discomfort. He was carried home on a stretcher, and Pang Jingzhou gave him injections and medicine for emergency treatment.Relatives, friends and disciples were so busy that Du Yuesheng was finally able to catch his breath. His face was pale, and he waved his hands and said: "You all go out, Cai Cheng please stay." On the sickbed, Du Yuesheng leaned up and said to Xu Caicheng: "Please go back to Shanghai immediately and do two things for me. First, ask Mr. Huang Suchu to come to Hong Kong as soon as possible to meet with me face to face. Second, tell Wan Molin and the others that as long as Gao Zongwu says to leave, he will spare no expense." For the price, he and his family must be sent to Hong Kong safe and sound." Xu Caicheng left on the second day, he returned to Shanghai, less than ten days later, Huang Suchu first floated south, and Du Yuesheng recovered from his serious illness, so he went to greet him in person.For the sake of safety and confidentiality, he invited Huang Suchu to stay in the Du mansion. All of Gao Zongwu's accounts are in Huang Suchu's belly.Therefore, Huang Suchu and Du Yuesheng held a secret conversation, and he explained to Du Yuesheng one by one the various experiences of Gao Zongwu's three visits to Japan and the key points of the secret agreement between China and Japan.Du Yuesheng insisted on words, and said frankly, "There are too many, it's hard to remember all at once." Therefore, Huang Suchu laughed and wrote him a summary of the report in his own handwriting. Du Yuesheng happily took it with both hands, and he said happily: "I'll take another plane to Chongqing tomorrow." Mrs. Yao saw that Du Yuesheng was busy and tense for several days, and that he was suffering from shortness of breath while flying to Chongqing. She felt very anxious, but she didn't know what he was busy with.Hearing that Du Yuesheng was going to fly to Chongqing again only 10 days later, she was very worried, so she persuaded Du Yuesheng: "It's too dangerous to fly. This time, you can go to Hanoi and Kunming by land, okay?" "Not good!" Du Yuesheng told her in a playful tone, "I wish I could fly through the air with wings on my body right now! It would take another ten days and a half months to go by land, how could I make it in time!" However, Du Yuesheng took the risk to fly to Chongqing again, but this time he brought Dr. Pang Beizhou with him just in case.This trip was finally blessed by God, and it was safe and sound. When it arrived in Chongqing, Generalissimo Jiang immediately sent a report. Du Yuesheng got Chiang Kai-shek's personal letter, and he knew that the important thing has been accomplished, the most important thing now is to take action quickly, so as not to delay the opportunity, and if he makes a mistake, he will lose everything. He flew back to Hong Kong the next day.Then hand over the chairman's personal letter to a safe and reliable person, and secretly carry it to Shanghai.Afterwards, he waited for Gao Zongwu to come south safely.Huang Suchu also lived in the Du mansion and waited hard. Du Yuesheng accompanied the guests all day long. Fortunately, Huang Suchu was well-informed and very funny. He was calm and at ease talking and laughing with big things in mind.Du Yuesheng benefited a lot from Huang Suchu's side. Although everyone in the Du mansion didn't know Mr. Huang's identity, everyone respected and was close to him.Everyone likes to listen to him chatting about the future of the country and major events in the world. Because the enemy and the puppets are heavily guarded and closely guarded, it is not an easy task for Xu Caicheng to mobilize those who stay in Shanghai among Dumen to rescue Gao Zongwu and escape safely.Since the negotiations on the "Outline for the Adjustment of the New Relationship between Japan and China" between Japan and Wang have been completed, the signing ceremony is scheduled to be held on December 31, 1939. Gao Zongwu is determined to wait until the secret agreement is signed before stealing the original, presenting it to the central government, and exposing the truth. Wang Jingwei and other traitorous activities.Therefore, he did not make the trip until January 4. Before the trip, he rescued Tao Xisheng, who was in danger of life. Wang Jingwei held a pseudo-"National Congress of the Kuomintang", and the newly established pseudo-central party headquarters had only three "departments" of foreign affairs, propaganda, and security. Li Shiqun, Ding Mocun, the deputy directors, and Tao Xisheng served as the "minister" of propaganda. Negotiations on the "Outline for the Adjustment of the New Japan-China Relations" began. Tao Xisheng looked at the conditions proposed by the Japanese side, and Japan's ambition to fully control China was clearly revealed. They divided China into "Manchuria", "Mengjiang Autonomous Government", " "North China", "Central China" and "South China", while Hainan Island and Taiwan are generally listed as Japan's military bases. The five major regions do not include Outer Mongolia, Xinjiang, Xifu, Northwest China, and Tibet. That is to say, Japan wants to carve up China.Tao Xisheng believes that it is "absolutely impossible" to sign with the hands of the Chinese to "write black characters on white paper" like this, so he refused to sign the secret agreement between China and Japan. Secretly planning how to leave. Tao Xisheng's attitude had already made Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai and others suspicious. Around New Year's Day in 1940, someone secretly informed Tao Xisheng that the puppet spy agency under the leadership of Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun was planning to assassinate him. The two couples decided at that time: "If you can't escape from Shanghai, the only way is to commit suicide." At this critical moment, on New Year's Day in 1940, Gao Zongwu suddenly appeared at Tao Xisheng's residence on Huanlong Road in the French Concession. "They have a conspiracy against you, how about you?" Gao Zongwu then said: "Let's go." In fact, Xu Caicheng and Wan Molin had already prepared the boat ticket for Gao Zongwu according to Du Yuesheng's instructions, and at the same time carefully formulated a plan to protect him from a smooth trip, adding Tao Xisheng to accompany him temporarily, of course, there would be no difficulties. On the morning of January 4, 1940, Gao Zongwu boarded the American ship "President Hoover" according to the scheduled plan.Tao Xisheng, on the other hand, took a car to the front gate of Gutai Hotel on Nanjing Road, got off the bus, entered the building, immediately went to the back gate, changed to a taxi, and went straight to Shanghai Beach Wharf. On the afternoon of January 5, 1940, when Gao Tao arrived in Hong Kong, the boulder hanging in the hearts of Du Yuesheng, Huang Suchu and others fell gently. When the most important person arrived, Japan and Wang Miyue originally had the negatives taken by Gao Zongwu's brother-in-law Shen Weitai and handed over to Mrs. Gao Zongwu's secret collection and brought them to Hong Kong. A total of two negatives of "Day Wang's Secret Covenant" were developed by Shen Weitai, one was sent to the Chongqing Central Committee, and the other was jointly signed by Gao Zongwu and his wife, handed over to Du Yuesheng, and forwarded to the Central News Agency for publication.However, there were twists and turns before the publication. Because Gao Zongwu added a few hundred words of narrative in front of the "full text of the secret contract" to explain what happened at that time, they thought it was inappropriate, and pointed out that Gao Zongwu had not stamped it himself and was not credible. And the procedures are incomplete.Gao Zongwu and his wife explained: "Of course the seal should be stamped, but it is too late to carry it with you when you leave Shanghai in a hurry." Therefore, because of the issue of the seal, the two sides were at loggerheads, and a major event that was about to complete the merits and virtues was almost about to come to a standstill.Getting anxious, Du Yuesheng quietly took care of his subordinates and said: "I'm going to Wu Tie's mansion right now. You can wait here until 11 o'clock, and then you can go to Wu's house to find me. You might as well ask me, should I post the full text, or must I delete the foreword? Seeing that I am embarrassed, you should say loudly that you were entrusted by Gao Zongwu to take back all the documents immediately." Wu Tiecheng had stepped down as chairman of Guangdong Province at this time, lived in Hong Kong, and was the most senior member of the central government in Hong Kong. The play directed by Du Yuesheng at 11 o'clock that night had his assistant perform aggressively and put on a show of toughness.Sure enough, Wu Tie became very anxious, and he personally ordered the Central News Agency to issue all the prefaces and secret agreements.Therefore, on January 20, 1940, the "Outline for the Adjustment of the New Relationship between Japan and China" and the original text and photos of its annexes were published. This major news caused a sensation in the world. The sensational Gao-Tao incident was coming to an end. Gao Zongwu wanted to go abroad to study in the United States and continue his studies. Du Yuesheng handled the passport for him.When he knew that Du Yuesheng suffered from severe asthma because of their accident at high altitude, he was very disturbed. Later, he visited famous doctors for Du Yuesheng in the United States, asked about the cause and treatment methods, and often sent back medicines. However, because of the "Gaotao incident", Wang Jingwei hated Du Yuesheng to the bone, and he said with hatred: "What's wrong with him? He's going to deal with me like this!" At that time, he ordered Li Shiqun, the spy head of the puppet government, to go to Guangzhou to command and send the murderer to Hong Kong to deal with Du Yuesheng.However, Du Yuesheng had already been on strict precautions, and the assassin had no chance to strike.However, Wang Jingwei was still not reconciled, and he sent someone to the Hong Kong Police Station to deport Du Yuesheng on the pretext that someone had reported Du Yuesheng as a "hooligan". Dai Li's Zhongtong spy Wang Xinheng was the first to detect the news, and rushed to inform Du Yuesheng.But Du Yuesheng refused to believe it, he smiled lightly, and comforted Wang Xinheng, saying: "There will be no such thing, brother Xinheng, don't worry." However, within a few days, people from the police station came to the mansion of Austin Road and Gloucester's room, saying that they were ordered to search.At this moment, Du Yuesheng realized that the situation was serious, so he went to Wang Xinheng to discuss it. Wang Xinheng said: "In order to get to the bottom of the matter and completely eliminate Wang Jingwei's conspiracy, we should bring the matter to the Governor of Hong Kong." At this time, Yu Hongjun was the director of the Central Trust Bureau and lived in Hong Kong. Yu Hongjun entertained the Governor of Hong Kong when he was the mayor of Shanghai. He had a deep personal relationship with the Governor of Hong Kong.Therefore, Wang suggested that Du Yuesheng find Yu Hongjun. As a result, Yu Hongjun, as an informal representative of the National Government, sent a memorandum to the Governor of Hong Kong, stating that Du Yuesheng was a senior official in China and a social leader. He was officially appointed by the National Government. He is also the vice-chairman of the Red Cross Society of China, the executive director of the Bank of Communications of the State Administration, and the chairman of China Commercial Bank, whose state capital accounts for more than 50%. He pointed out that the Hong Kong police searched the residences and offices of Chinese officials. It is a completely illegal and disrespectful action to visit the guest's location.After receiving the memorandum from Yu Hongjun, the governor of Hong Kong immediately apologized and promised that similar things would not happen again in the future.A public case was thus settled, and Wang Jingwei's revenge was never successful because he later died of illness in Tokyo. Amidst the quarrels among the Chinese people, some traitors such as Wang Jingwei established a puppet regime in Nanjing. He invited diplomats, overseas Chinese leaders, and embassy personnel from Germany, Italy, and Japan stationed in Shanghai to join hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops. He drove a special train from Shanghai to Nanjing to attend his "Returning the Capital Ceremony".At this time, a train was approaching Hushu Pass, and the underground workers of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army lurking in Shanghai planted a bomb in advance. With a bang, the train was completely destroyed, killing and injuring hundreds of Wang puppet VIPs and Japanese and puppet soldiers, causing a major tragedy .Du Yuesheng got good news in Hong Kong, he couldn't help nodding and smiling, and said frequently: "The string of firecrackers we sent is quite a lot!"
