Chapter 12 5. Arrested in the formation designed to hide from the enemy, and the traitors reported to the prison and suffered a lot in prison

On the edge of day and night, the shadow of life begins to lengthen. Qu Qiubai and the two women who were arrested together were drenched in water, limping, and slowly touching each other. At 4:00 p.m., the three were brought to Shuikou Town for interrogation.Cold and hungry, they shivered half-truthfully, pretended to be cowering, and began to whisper about life.Before leaving the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, several people had designed a statement in case of being arrested. At this time, unfortunately, it was used, according to the calculation. Zhou Yuelin's confession name was Chen Xiuying at the beginning, and Huang Xiuying was the next confession name. He was a nurse in the Red Army.When she was the director of the "National Hospital" in Ruijin, she learned how to give injections, change dressings and deliver babies.

Zhang Liang confessed that she was Zhou Lianyu, the wife of a mushroom merchant, and said she was "kidnapped for ransom" by the Red Army. Qu Qiubai, named Lin Qixiang, 36 years old, Jiangsu native, studied Chinese literature at Peking University, and later ran a second-hand bookstore and antique business in Shanghai.He went to medical school to study medicine for half a year. In 1932, he traveled to Zhangzhou, Fujian Province due to illness. When the Red Army invaded Zhangzhou and sent its prisoners to Ruijin, he successively worked as a doctor, medical assistant, clerical and cultural teacher in the General Health Department of the Red Army.After the Long March, the main force of the Red Army, he was left in the Fujian Provincial Soviet Government and the Medical Office of the Provincial Military Region as a medical assistant. In January 1935, he escaped with the money and was discovered by the local armed forces in the Soviet area. He was detained by the security bureau personnel and was about to leave at dawn, but was captured by the White Army.

Fighting a war can not only be promoted, but also an opportunity to make a fortune.Li Yu didn't care much about Qu Qiubai, but his eyes wandered around Zhou Yuelin.Zhou Yuelin was twenty-eight years old at the time, and he looked twenty-two or three-year-old.Li Yu is a hungry ghost, and he took a look at her, and felt that she was of moderate stature, gentle in nature, and gentle in appearance.I kept thinking about her in my heart. When he arrived in Shanghang, Li Yu didn't put Zhou Yuelin in prison, but arranged him to live in a barracks without authorization.Two days later, he saw that there was no serious problem, and he asked Zhong Shaokui, the head of the regiment: "My wife is about to give birth, and I can't find a midwife. I want the captured nurse Chen Xiuying to serve at home so that she can deliver the baby and take care of the confinement." Yu has won the first prize in "suppressing bandits" this time, and according to the usual practice, he should share some of the benefits. It is not too much to get a woman, and he is happy to be a favor.Zhou Yuelin went straight to Li Yu's home and worked as a "nanny".

Women captured on the battlefield are useless, and food money is wasted in detention, so they are usually sold for money.Zhang Liang is a native of Luoshan County, Sichuan Province. He is 30 years old, has small feet, is of medium height, has fair and tender skin, and is very handsome.The owner of a candy store in Shanghang County, named Lin Hongchang (also known as Lin Qingguang), had no children, so he came to meet people.After inquiring, the price was not expensive, and he was released on bail, saying that the child he gave birth would belong to him. The Bai army locked Qu Qiubai in prison, but he couldn't find anything out of the trial, so he wanted to knock a sum of money as usual.Asking him to find a shop in the local or other places, get the money, and get the bail, Qu Qiubai immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to forward it to Lu Xun, Zhou Jianren, and Yang Zhihua in Shanghai, asking them to try to rescue him.Lu Xun, Zhou Jianren, Yang Zhihua and the underground party used various methods to rescue them.Lu Xun paid 50 silver dollars, and Yang Zhihua sent them to Fujian together with a few pieces of clothes he had made.

Time flies, and a month has passed.Zhou Yuelin was acquainted with Li's family, and learned from the staff of the White Army that it was the climax of the suppression of "bandits" during that period, and the local area was heavily guarded, and people were often arrested.She wanted to stabilize the situation, and took the opportunity to escape.Unexpectedly, the situation continued to deteriorate... On April 10, at the foot of Guilong Mountain at the junction of Changting, Wuping and Huichang counties, the Red Army and the Eighth Division of the White Army fought fiercely. Wan Yongcheng, secretary of the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and political commissar of the provincial military region, unfortunately died.Wan Yongcheng's wife, Xu Shi, was arrested. During the interrogation, Bai Jun paid special attention to Xu Shi.Xu was able to persevere at first, but was eventually defeated by the torture cane. After being frightened, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Xu not only admitted his identity, but also confessed: Qu Qiubai, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Zhou Yuelin, Zhang Liang and others were all captured in Zhuotian one month ago.

This information is no small matter, and the White Army immediately investigated it urgently.At the same time, a part of the White Army captured the chairman of the Changting County Soviet Government, who also confessed that Qu Qiubai and others had already been captured.Some guerrillas and Soviet staff also confirmed the above situation from the side. According to the confessions of the above two traitors and the arrested persons, inferred from the date and shape of the narration, the White Army basically determined: Lin Qixiang, Huang Xiuying, and Zhou Lianyu, and the three were Qu Qiubai, Zhou Yuelin, and Zhang Liang.

For this reason, the White Army also prepared a "killer card"-to find two captured Red Army traitors: one named Yang Yuebin and the other named Zhu Sen.While working in Ruijin Central, Yang Yuebin and Zhu Sen were very familiar with Zhou Yuelin and Zhang Liang. After the two traitors were certified separately, their identities were completely exposed.The enemy tried hard and soft on them, but they couldn't make them speak. Around April 25, the 14th Security Regiment escorted Qu Qiubai to the headquarters of the 36th Division in Changting, quickly took Zhang Liang and Zhou Yuelin who had been released on bail back into custody, and sent them to Longyan.

It was cloudy and rainy for several days, and the sky suddenly burst into a few rays of sunshine. A team of white soldiers with live ammunition, with a few tall horses sandwiched between them, walked along the path in two small sedan chairs.For many days, Zhong Shaokui has been in a state of excitement and joy.If Lin Qixiang, Huang Xiuying, and Zhou Lianyu, the three are indeed Qu Qiubai, Zhou Yuelin, and Zhang Liang.Isn't it a great contribution!Zhong Shaokui hired sedan chairs for the two women and personally escorted them along the way, pretending to be considerate.During this time, there was a bit of impatience, but also a bit of curiosity, always wanting to get their confession first.

At noon the next day, the group arrived at Fengnian Bridge.For lunch, a lot of good dishes were served.Zhong Shaokui and his adjutant Zhang Youmin called Zhou Yuelin and Zhang Liang to eat at the same table.Serving tea and pouring water, "Shush and ask for warmth". "Miss Zhou, you've worked hard all the way." The doors and windows of the room were all closed, and there was a dark air flowing in the room.Re-arrested, Zhou Yuelin knew that things had been exposed.Zhong Shaokui spoke up, calling himself Miss Zhou, he was trying to test himself, so he shouldn't. Zhong Shaokui turned to Zhang Liang again, picked up a piece of fish, and handed it over.

"Miss Zhang, eat more food, don't worry about your health." Relatively speaking, Zhang Liang is much naive in politics, and after being arrested, he is going to suffer.From Captain Zhong's words of persuasion, we know that everyone's identities have been exposed.Then he said some irrelevant things: "I am pregnant and my feet hurt, so I can't walk. I am very grateful that you give me a sedan chair." "Well, Lin Qixiang is Qu Qiubai. We already knew." There are five of you in total, do you have anything else to report?" Zhou Yuelin remained silent.Zhang Liang was also speechless.

Although there was no unexpected harvest, Zhong Shaokui was still in ecstasy.Zhong Shaokui is not only addicted to officialdom, but also obsessed with money.Ever since Zhou Yuelin and Zhang Liang's identities were determined, he had been thinking about it early on, hoping to make a fortune. The dry lamp of life flickers on and off.Severe lung disease drained the oil of his life one by one, and the frail Qu Qiubai was on the verge of collapse.He had long put life and death aside, staggered all the way, dawdling, and was escorted to Changting.He is not afraid of death, not because he likes death or seeks death, so he still fights with the Bai army in vain, protecting himself and others, flogging and torture, without fear.The Bai army had no choice but to call the traitor Zheng Dapeng to identify Qu Qiubai in court.Zheng Dapeng used to work in the People's Committee of Education in the Soviet Area and was Qu Qiubai's direct subordinate. Under Zheng's identification, Qu Qiubai had no choice but to admit his identity. He laughed: "Now that I have been identified, I don't have to 'pretend to be a fake'. I am Qu Qiubai. The confession I wrote in Shanghang can be regarded as a confession." It’s like a novel!” “Fiction” becomes “documentary”.When the news came, Zhong Shaokui was ecstatic, and immediately started to conceive, choose words and sentences, and on May 14, sent a telegram to Nanjing to invite credit and award. Nanjing Central Party Headquarters, Executive President of the Nationalist Government Wang Junjian, Chairman of the Military Commission Jiang Junjian: One day last month, the staff group sent a guerrilla team to Shuikou Shangtan, which belonged to Changting, and captured Zhang Liang, the wife of Xiang Ying, the vice chairman of the puppet central government, and Zhou Yuelin, the executive member and minister of women of the puppet central government (the wife of Liang Baitai, a puppet central committee member). Qu Qiubai, general secretary of the puppet Central Committee and chairman of the People's Committee of Education, and other three important bandits.At the time of the capture, it was interrogated that it was Zhang Liang who made a false confession to Zhou Lianyu, Zhou Yuelin Chu who pretended to be Chen Xiuying, and repeated interrogations and false confessions to Huang Xiuying, Qu Qiubai who was called Lin Qixiang.After being identified by the captured bandit soldiers as Zhang Liang, Zhou Yuelin, and Qu Qiubai, the bandit began to make no excuses and confessed.He Shuheng, a member of the puppet Central Committee who accompanied him, was also shot and killed by our army during the service.The investigation of the bandits and others has been ordered by the Ministry of Jun to arrest the case. Except for Qu Qiubai, who was stationed in Ting, Song Xilian, the commander of the 36th Division, sent a telegram to interrogate Changting; Zhang Liang and Zhou Yuelin were stationed in the Second Appeasement District of Fujian. Mo'an sent a telegram to Xie Longyan for interrogation, and he sent a telegram to the Ministry of Jun to check and record the situation of the captured bandit leader, and begged for a reward for the investigation, and borrowed money to encourage him.Zhong Shaokui, head of the 14th Fujian Provincial Security Regiment, knocked coldly. For the Nanjing government, it is a season of frequent victories, and the authorities are in a good mood and generous. Wang Jingwei, President of the "National Government Executive Yuan", approved on May 25: "reply the telegram and give a reward to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs for investigating the case." It was one of a series of major victories. After investigation, the Military and Political Department admitted it, and distributed a total of 100,000 silver dollars to the Zhong Department. However, the Fujian Provincial Government plucked most of it, and only distributed it to Zhong Zhong. 30,000 yuan is enough. Detained, interrogated, and then shot and killed Comrade Qu Qiubai according to Chiang Kai-shek's order, Song Xilian, commander of the 36th Division of the Kuomintang (member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in 1980), on April 2, 1956 and August 28, 1979. Two recalls prove that Qu Qiubai was in prison Zhong firmly believed in ideals and promoted Marxism-Leninism. The interrogation continued, during which Zhou Yuelin was also identified by the traitor in court.The enemy used both soft and hard tactics against Zhou Yuelin, trying to get her to reveal the connection points and secret codes for the Central Soviet Area, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.However, despite the cruel methods adopted by the enemy, Zhou Yuelin kept his mouth shut, and Zhang Liang remained unmoved.The enemy was helpless, and on September 20, 1935, Zhou Yuelin and Zhang Liang were sentenced to 10 years in prison for the crime of "communist bandit steadfast elements".
