In 1958, Yang Hu was arrested for counterrevolutionary activities.
In 1958, an urgent secret letter from Shenzhen was sent to Beijing and presented to ***. After reading this secret letter, the chairman immediately got up and ordered: "Arrest Yang Hu immediately!"
Yang Hu is none other than Chiang Kai-shek's sworn brother and a former Kuomintang veteran. Before the founding of New China, due to disagreement with Chiang Kai-shek, he defected to the Communist Party, and provided important intelligence for our army at a critical moment, making a significant contribution to the victory of the Liberation War.
Therefore, when the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, he was specially invited to participate in the founding ceremony. However, what is surprising is that only 9 years later, this "hero" turned out to be a "prisoner", and was even arrested by *** himself.
What happened in these 9 years?Why did the chairman suddenly order the arrest of Yang Hu?What secrets are hidden in this secret letter?
Although the names of Yang Hu and General Yang Hucheng are only one word apart, their revolutionary ideas and insistence on peace are far from the same. Yang Hu's poor childhood experience formed his radical character.
He studied in a private school for a short time, but when he saw that the world was difficult, he felt that there was no way out of studying, so he turned to study in the martial arts school. He believes that only by joining the army and fighting can he find a way out of the troubled times.
He actively participated in the anti-Qing movement, and followed Mr. Sun Yat-sen to participate in the war against Yuan Shikai, and made great achievements, which was appreciated by Sun Yat-sen. From then on, Sun Yat-sen kept him by his side, and after the Northern Expedition, he appointed him as the commander of the Second Army, and it was at that time that he met Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek expressed his appreciation for Yang Hu's general's commanding spirit, and Yang Hu also admired Chiang Kai-shek's lofty ambitions, and the two could be described as like-minded. Therefore, after the death of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, Yang Hu and Chiang Kai-shek became brothers with different surnames.
Yang Hu had a radical personality, and under the influence of Chiang Kai-shek, he willingly served Chiang Kai-shek. In 1927, when Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup, Yang Hu became Chiang Kai-shek's first vanguard in Shanghai.
Together with the gangster ** Rong and others in Shanghai, he created white terror in the urban area and indiscriminately arrested all those who were considered to be communists. At that time, everyone in Shanghai was in danger.
He also gathered a large number of ruffians and hooligans and frantically pursued the revolutionary masses and communists, with blood on his hands. Yang Hu thinks that these are all his credits, and it is because of his vigorous and resolute actions that Shanghai is clear.
Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with Yang Hu's performance in Shanghai, and insisted on appointing him as commander of the Shanghai garrison, despite the dissatisfaction of the people.
Yang Hu's career in Shanghai is booming, and the prosperity of the metropolis makes him gradually forget his original dream. However, he did not expect that his relationship with Chiang Kai-shek would be broken because of his son.
In 1938, after the national ** moved the capital to Chongqing, various ** organs were established one after another, and many ** also moved to Chongqing. However, there was no suitable candidate for the post of commander of the Chongqing garrison, after all, it was an important position that needed someone trusted by Chiang Kai-shek.
Song Meiling took the initiative to recommend Yang Hu's son Yang Anguo to Chiang Kai-shek and matched him with him. However, on the wedding day, Yang Anguo suddenly ran away from the wedding, leaving the bride alone to stand awkwardly at the wedding.
It turned out that Yang Anguo already had a fiancée, so he staged such a farce on the wedding day to oppose Song Meiling's chaotic mandarin duck score. This undoubtedly angered Soong Meiling, who believed that Yang Anguo's behavior was making her make a public scandal, so she denounced Yang Hu for "not being able to run a family, but how can he govern the country", and suggested that Chiang Kai-shek should not reuse Yang Hu.
At the instigation of Song Meiling, the post of commander of the Chongqing garrison has always fallen into the hands of Liu Zhi, while Yang Hu was left out in the cold and only got the idle post of the ** supervisory commissioner. Since then, Yang Hu has felt like forgotten.
Yang Hu was unwilling to be snubbed by Chiang Kai-shek and tried to open an insurance company, but due to poor management, he went bankrupt and complained about Chiang. At Yang Jie's suggestion, he gathered a group of patriots to fight against foreign enemies.
During this period, he maintained close contact with *** and jointly contributed to the War of Resistance against Japan. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Yang Hu became active again and established the "Xingzhong Society" in an attempt to make a comeback, but the civil war and Chiang's suppression made him completely abandon his ambitions.
In the summer of 1946, when the Shanghai Office of the Communist Party of China was about to evacuate Shanghai, ** and Deng Yingchao went to Yang Hu's home to visit him. The two are old acquaintances, and Yang Hu was deeply impressed by his personal charm and the ruling philosophy of the Communist Party, and he had no previous rejection of the Communist Party in his heart.
Yang Hu hosted a banquet at home to entertain *** couple. During the banquet, ** kept trying to persuade Yang Hu, and he explained to Yang Hu: "You should know the current situation that Chiang Kai-shek violated the 'Double Tenth Agreement' and undermined domestic peace.
You have been friends with Chiang Kai-shek for many years, and I believe you know his temper better than I do. What should be done now, I hope you will seriously consider it. Yang Hu raised his glass and drank it all, he understood that the situation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had become clear, and he and Chiang Kai-shek were already on the same page.
He hesitated for a moment and assured ***: "Don't worry, I will seriously consider this matter." ”
**Talked with Yang Hu at the banquet very happily, and when parting, ** said to Yang Hu: "In the future, our underground staff will continue to maintain close contact with you, and I hope our cooperation is happy."
Yang Hu smiled and got up and sent the *** couple to the door, shaking hands with them and saying goodbye. However, he didn't know that this scene was seen by several Kuomintang agents hiding in the shadows.
It didn't take long for them to break into Yang Hu's house with a group of people and asked, "Say, what are you looking for?"Why do you want to associate with the Communist Party?Yang Hu replied easily: "I and *** were originally old friends, his mansion is near here, he took his wife out for a walk today, and happened to pass by here to come in and sit, is there any problem?"
These spies were so choked by Yang Hu that they couldn't speak, so they had to leave in a huff. Later, Yang Hu did maintain close ties with our party, and after Zhang Bojun of the Democratic League was pursued by Chiang Kai-shek, it was Yang Hu who personally came forward and asked Li Xianlie to send him to Hong Kong to get rid of the control of the Kuomintang.
He skillfully used his identity as a cover to maintain close communication with Wu Kejian, an underground worker of our party. In this process, Yang Hu not only helped Yang Lan, Luo Longji and others complete the tasks of the organization, but also showed favor to our party in every action.
Even when Chiang Kai-shek was suspicious of him, Yang Hu still took great risks to keep in touch with our party and deliver the information of the Kuomintang in a timely manner, and his information was all confidential to the Kuomintang and never made a mistake.
In 1949, with the end of the three major battles, the Kuomintang was defeated in the War of Liberation. Most of the Kuomintang generals went to Taiwan on the orders of Chiang Kai-shek.
Yang Hu also received Chiang Kai-shek's order to travel to Taiwan, and his son-in-law even offered ten tickets to Taiwan. At this time, Yang Hu began to hesitate, did he really want to go to Taiwan like this?
What should Chiang Kai-shek do if he finds out about his secret connection with the Communist Party?Therefore, Yang Hu resolutely refused Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, which made Chiang Kai-shek very angry and immediately ordered a reward of 30,000 silver dollars to take Yang Hu's life.
**After learning of this, he immediately contacted Pan Hannian, an underground party in Shanghai, and transferred Yang Hu to Beiping in time.
* and *** and others came to the station to greet Yang Hu, although he had missed the road, but in the Liberation War he stopped the loss in time, which was really a hero. At the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Yang Hu was invited by *** to go to Tiananmen Square with *** and participate in the grand ceremony.
Soon after, he was appointed as an adviser to the Government Council and moved into a residence arranged by the organization, where he was fully cared for. However, it was difficult to move from luxury to frugality, and he became infected with the idea of pleasure in the Kuomintang, and it was difficult for him to adapt to a frugal life for a while, and his living habits remained before liberation.
Unable to satisfy his selfish desires, he once again had the idea of going to Taiwan to seek refuge with Chiang Kai-shek. In 1958, it happened that Chiang Kai-shek sent a group of spies to the mainland, and Yang Hu connected with them in this way.
He said to his son Yang Anguo, who had returned from Taiwan: "After you go back this time, please tell the Jiang family, just say that I am in Cao Ying, but I care about Han, and I will go back sooner or later." When Chiang Kai-shek heard of this, he immediately sent Yang Hu's side chamber Tao Sheng'an back to the mainland to lobby him.
Yang Hu was originally a person with an undetermined will, and under the beauty and generosity, he once again chose to betray the country and the people. He personally wrote two letters, which he wanted to hand over to Chiang Ching-kuo and Japanese Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Aoi, asking them to send troops from Fujian and Northeast China, and that he should respond to them as an internal counterpart and return to the mainland again.
However, Yang Hu is worried that it will not be safe if it is sent through the post office, and he needs to find someone who can be trusted to send it to feel at ease. He searched and finally found a Japanese expatriate in Tianjin and asked her to help him send the letter to Taiwan.
In order to prevent detection, Yang Hu deliberately hid the envelope in the collar of the female expatriate and sewed a private seal into her clothes. Just when Yang Hu was enjoying the sweet dream of **Houlu at home, the female expatriate was afraid of being discovered, and directly surrendered to ** after arriving in Shenzhen, and handed over the letter and private seal.
The evidence of treason was conclusive, ** was outraged, and ordered his arrest and imprisonment.
Although Yang Hu repeatedly stressed that he only made a mistake at that particular moment, the stakes involved in this matter were too significant, so Yang Hu ended up in prison for the rest of his life, never to regain his freedom.
In 1966, he died of illness in prison.
