Tang Shengming: A character with a complex identity, he is not only a student of ***, but also a student of Chiang Kai-shek, and has a deep friendship with military commander Dai Li and general Chen Geng.
He was born in a wealthy family, his family was well-off, and his father enjoyed a high reputation in Dong'an, and his family was rich and powerful. Although he has lived a carefree life since he was a child, playing the world, he has a bold temperament, is willing to give, and has a wide range of good relationships.
Tang Shengming's elder brother Tang Shengzhi sent him to the Primary School Attached to Hunan First Division in order to find him an excellent teacher. Although he did not stand out academically, he was erudite and eloquent, and won the admiration of Tang Shengming.
The two ate and slept together until they parted ways because they were busy forming the Chinese Communist Party. ** recalled that he had covered Tang Shengming with a quilt for a year. Subsequently, Tang Shengming learned of the Autumn Harvest Uprising and immediately sent 300 guns and tens of thousands of bullets.
After the success of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Tang Shengming entered the fourth phase of Huangpu and served under Chen Geng, then the commander of the infantry section of the Military Academy. The open-minded Tang Shengming and the creative Chen Geng have similar interests, and the two fall in love and become confidants.
Chen Geng once praised Tang Shengming as the contemporary Wei Xiaobao, cheerful and generous, left and right, and sociable. In stark contrast to Mr. Lin, a fourth-term student in Whampoa, although Mr. Lin has a low-key personality and is not good at words, he has invited Tang Shengming to dinner many times.
Chiang Kai-shek also often invited Tang Shengming to banquets, and Tang Shengming always did not forget to invite his eldest brother Chen Geng to go with him. Chiang Kai-shek was in a happy mood, because he had always considered Chen Geng to be a very good talent, so he wanted to try his best to win his support.
Each time, Chiang Kai-shek happily invited them to dinner in order to deepen their emotional bond with each other. As a student of *** and Chiang Kai-shek, except for Tang Shengming, I am afraid I can't find a second one.
In 1929, when the Jiang-Gui War broke out, Tang Shengming was given the opportunity to fully display his talents, and with his accumulated connections, he successfully rebelled against the senior generals within the Gui family, and almost captured Bai Chongxi alive. The collapse of the Gui system was due to Tang Shengming's contributions. Second, Tang Shengming's revolutionary process is also remarkable.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek awarded him the rank of lieutenant general. At that time, Tang Sheng was only 25 years old next year, and he was young but soaring, which made many predecessors of the Huangpu Department envious. As Chiang Kai-shek's protégé, Hu Zongnan, who graduated from the first phase of Whampoa, only received the rank of lieutenant general at that time.
Tang Shengming had a close relationship with Dai Li, the leader of the military command, and Du Yuesheng, the tycoon of the Shanghai Youth Gang, and with their support, he married the coveted top star Xu Lai. Shen Zui was Dai Li's right-hand man, and Tang Shengming transferred him to be his assistant, arranging for Shen Zui to handle various affairs, and he was at ease.
Shen Zui received a report from his subordinates, saying that Tang Shengming went to the highway checkpoint early in the morning, wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, and sat on the side of the road. After learning about this, Shen Zui immediately rushed to the car checkpoint and asked Tang Shengming what help he needed, but he unexpectedly got Tang Shengming's response and asked him to do it himself, he had to do it himself.
Soon, a black sedan slowly drove up, Tang Shengming immediately stepped in front of the car, fulfilled the military salute, and after the car left, Tang Shengming immediately jumped into his car and escorted away.
Shen Zui thinks that the people in the car must have extraordinary identities, and Tang Shengming, who can make Tang Shengming, who is always smiling on weekdays, so solemn, is definitely the best in the party, and his status is extraordinary. Afterwards, Shen Zui asked Tang Shengming who the person in the car was, and Tang Shengming replied respectfully, yes***
Shen Zui was surprised, but he didn't expect Tang Shengming to say that he had many good friends within the Communist Party and had contributed to many Communist uprisings. He said proudly that he had provided a lot of equipment, and now there is still equipment he provided on Jinggang Mountain.
Tang Shengming's words shocked Shen Zui and made it difficult for him to cope with this huge amount of information. As an important spy, Shen Zui realized that the news conveyed by Tang Shengming was serious and important, so he immediately reported it to his superior, Dai Li. Surprisingly, however, Dai was unmoved.
In 1940, Tang Shengming was ordered to become a traitor, and Dai Li was ordered to send him to lurk beside Wang Jingwei. Because Tang Shengming's brother had a good relationship with Wang Jingwei, Wang Jingwei has always regarded Tang Shengming as his own. Tang Shengming and his wife were so popular that they were even invited to attend important meetings.
During this period, he not only provided important intelligence to the KMT, but also successfully rebelled against Zhou Fohai, a key figure in Wang's puppet regime. The image of him and his wife Xu Lai was portrayed as Tang Shanhai and Tang wife Xu Bi in the spy war film and television drama "Sparrow".
However, when the Shanghai Station of the Military Command was destroyed due to the actions of agent No. 76, Tang Shengming's undercover identity was revealed. The main reason was that at that time, Japan had already begun to go downhill and was eager to negotiate peace with the people.
Another reason why Tang Shengming was favored by the Japanese was that he wrote a telegram to the military commander Dai Li, persuading Dai Li not to assassinate the Japanese again, because the Japanese could not find ** after being assassinated, and would retaliate against the innocent people, resulting in the dispersion of the people.
The Japanese were ecstatic because, despite their many evils at home, they were extremely afraid of assassination. When Japan announced its surrender, Chiang Kai-shek made public the fact that Tang Shengming had been sent to be a traitor. Tang Shengming went from a much-despised traitor to an anti-Japanese hero.
During the War of Liberation, Tang Shengming assisted the Communist Party in rebelling against the top generals Chen Mingren and Cheng Qian, and contributed to the peaceful liberation of Hunan. It is said that ** also personally provided him with a settling-in allowance.
Tang Shengming, deputy commander of the 21st Corps of the People's Liberation Army, participated in the battle to liberate Liangguang, and then faced the situation of New China waiting to be rebuilt and living a difficult life, and asked ** to go to Hong Kong to live. Considering his predicament, his request was granted. So, Tang Shengming and his family happily went to Hong Kong to settle down.
However, after learning of this, Mao Renfeng, the head of Taiwan's spies, arranged for spies to assassinate Tang Shengming. For the safety of his family, Tang Shengming decided to move his family back to Beijing. ** Knowing that Tang Shengming was back, he specially invited him to his home, because he knew that Tang Shengming had not experienced too much suffering in his life.
** Took the initiative to take out the 40,000 yuan manuscript fee saved and gave it to Tang Shengming as the cost of the family to settle down. Tang Shengming was moved, and he said to *** with tears in his eyes: "Teacher, thank you." * replied, "Of course, General Chen has been my big brother since he was a child. I don't know him, who knows him.
Before the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Tang Shengming did not hesitate to give Chen Geng, who went to Shanghai for medical reasons, a sum of money, and personally used his relationship to find the best doctor. Tang Shengming humorously told Shen Zui who was present: "I'm not stupid, you are a big spy, I can't tell you anyone I want." ”。
In the end, Tang Shengming died on October 24, 1987, at the age of 82. After learning the news, Shen Zui wrote a farewell poem for him, which has two sentences: "The big right and wrong are really courageous, the little fool is fake and stupid, enjoy the blessings of the world in his life, and he can be full of old age." ”。
