In December 1937, in the face of the frenzied attack of the Japanese invaders, Han Fuyu, chairman of Shandong Province, led the army to flee to Juye County. One day, while still asleep, he was woken up by his secretary, who came to his desk and saw an order from Chiang Kai-shek to attend an important military meeting in Xuzhou on January 2.
He never dreamed that this would be a trap, and he was about to face an existential situation.
The contradictions between Chiang and Han can be traced back a long time. In order to disintegrate Feng Yuxiang and defeat Yan Xishan, Chiang Kai-shek once wooed Han Fuyu and made him chairman of Shandong Province.
Han Fuyu knew this, so after serving as provincial chairman, he has always been wary of Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek feared that Han Fuyu would disobey his command and establish his own kingdom in Shandong, so he waged a soft and hard struggle against Han.
When Han Fuyu formed the ** team in Shandong Province, Chiang Kai-shek used the decision of the people to intervene in it, which made Han Fuyu very dissatisfied. Later, although Chiang Kai-shek promised to allocate 600,000 yuan a month from Nanjing** to Han, he never fulfilled it.
Han Fuyu retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, and without Jiang's consent, he sent people to take over the tax authorities of the national government in Shandong, and drove out Jiang's salt envoy, the director of the tobacco and alcohol stamp duty bureau, the director of the tax police bureau and the special commissioner of the Ministry of Finance.
This made Chiang Kai-shek intolerable. Then, Chiang asked Liu Zhennian, who was stationed in Yantai, to send spies to Jinan to plot to divide Han's subordinates, but this plan was detected by Han, which made Han furious.
The deepening contradictions between Chiang Kai-shek and Han Fuyu eventually led to the threat of a large-scale civil war. During this period, the situation was further aggravated by the assassination of Zhang Weicun, chairman of the Kuomintang Party Affairs Committee in Shandong, by Han Pai.
Especially in the "Xi'an Incident", Han Fuyu secretly sent a telegram to Zhang Xueliang, praising his actions, which made Chiang Kai-shek regard Han as a dissident and wanted to get rid of him.
When the Japanese attacked Shandong, Han Fuyu abandoned the city and fled, apparently to preserve his own forces so that he could seize the territory in the future.
Han Fuyu's actions brought Chiang Kai-shek's hatred of him to a climax, and found the best excuse for him to eliminate Han Fuyu. A sinister conspiracy is formed, and Han Fuyu is in a difficult situation.
On January 2, 1938, Han Fuyu was summoned by Chiang Kai-shek to attend a meeting in Xuzhou. After Han arrived in Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly sent a telegram ordering the meeting to be changed to Kaifeng, Henan.
The sudden change in the location of the meeting aroused Han Fuyu's vigilance, he didn't want to go to Kaifeng, but considering that this was a large-scale military meeting, and there were more than 40 high-ranking generals attending, there should be no danger.
Han Fuyu fell into a state of uneasiness on the first night of his departure, the first time in his life that he had felt this way. His bodyguard, Dagong Wei, is a fellow countryman of Han Fuyu, who has followed Han for many years, and when he saw the bright lights in Han Fuyu's bedroom, he knocked on the door and came in to ask.
When Han Fuyu saw Wei coming in, he immediately said, "Grand Duke, I was looking for you. I'm a little uneasy when I go out this time, and I hope you can help me see my face. ”
Han Fuyu Wei Dagong is nearly 30 years old, capable and eyebrows, has studied the Book of Changes since childhood, and is good at physiognomy, so he has the reputation of "Wei Banxian" in the pistol camp. Wei carefully observed Han Fuyu, and suddenly burst into tears: "Provincial chairman, get out of here quickly, this ** is auspicious." ”
Han stopped sharply: "Don't talk nonsense! But he said to himself: "I am in a dilemma, I am afraid that the days are over." Chiang Kai-shek would not let me go, so I had no choice but to resign myself to fate.
After dawn, heavily guarded, I couldn't escape. It's better to abscond at night, and you disguise yourself and leave. After hearing this, Wei burst into tears again and was reluctant to leave. Han waved his arm firmly and ordered, "This is an order!"
You must try to escape and protect my wife, old and young. I will give you my business card and handwritten letter, and after arranging them, I will withdraw the deposits of the banks of Jinan and Tianjin as soon as possible, and.
Grand Duke Wei knew Han Fuyu's personality, and he always insisted on speaking, so he could only follow orders. Not long after Dagong Wei left, the sky was dawning. The division commander Sun Tongxuan saw Han Fuyu and found that his face was very pale, so he asked, "Didn't the provincial chairman sleep all night?" ”
Han Fuyu replied: "Yes, the location of this meeting has changed, and I am not sure if Lao Jiang has a conspiracy, so I need to be careful." Sun Tongxuan assured Han Fuyu: "I have been in contact with Mr. Li Zongren many times and have not found any suspicious signs.
There are a lot of people here this time, and with me here, please rest assured, provincial chairman, I don't think there will be any problem. He comforted Han Fuyu.
Sun Tongxuan accompanied Han Fuyu to the location of Henan Province, and on the way, the vehicle was stopped by the military police and military police, and a notice was posted in front of the door asking the generals to attend the meeting to get off here.
Han was angry when he saw it, but it was inconvenient to have a seizure, so he could only leave the attaché at the reception. Finally, Han Fuyu and Sun Tongxuan walked through the second door, and he complained in a low voice: "What a great place, all of them are checkpoints. ”
Before the start of the meeting, the security guard informed all participants that they were not allowed to bring ** into the room, and that they needed to be temporarily handed over to the Adjutant General of Security for safekeeping, and provided a temporary receipt. Sun Tongxuan was a little hesitant about this, and Han Fuyu saw that the other generals handed over the pistols to the adjutant general, so he urged Sun Tongxuan to hand it in together.
Han Fuyu himself handed over the pistol to the adjutant general, and walked into the conference hall with a smile with a familiar person. Sitting to his left was Liu Zhi, a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek. After the meeting began, Chiang Kai-shek personally presided over it and looked at Han Fuyu with a sharp gaze, which swept across his face like a bolt of lightning.
Chiang Kai-shek bluntly blamed Han Fuyu for abandoning Jinan and Tai'an without authorization, making the rear unstable, and sharply asked Han Fuyu to take all the responsibility.
Chiang Kai-shek's ruthlessness on important occasions made Han Fuyu angry. Han Fuyu firmly believes that he has gained his status through hard work, and he is very famous in the northern half of China. He stood up and said bluntly: "I should be responsible for the loss of Shandong, but what about the loss of Nanjing?" ”
Chiang Kai-shek took the case and said solemnly: "I am asking about Shandong, not Nanjing!" Naturally, someone is responsible for the loss of Nanjing! Han Fuyu was about to refute, but Liu Zhi next to him held his hand and persuaded him to go to his office to take a rest, because the chairman was angry.
Liu Zhi and Han Fuyu left the conference hall, and Han Fuyu was emotional, his neck twisted, and his eyes were red and swollen. Liu Zhi took Han's hand with fake concern and led him to the courtyard.
A car had already been prepared in the yard, and Liu Zhi said: "Xiang Fang, get in the car, this is my car!" Han got into the car first, Liu Zhi signaled to the driver, and the door closed immediately.
Liu Zhi waved his hand and said, "Xiang Fang, you go first, I have to go back to the meeting." "There were already people waiting in the front seat of the car, and after the car started, they quickly got from the front seat to the back seat, sandwiching Han in the middle.
One of them showed Han a warrant, and Han realized what had happened, but acted very calmly. He looked out of the car window and was flanked by armed gendarmes and was heavily guarded.
The car sped towards the Kaifeng railway station, where a special car was waiting for them. The two agents dragged Han out of the car and pushed him onto the train. The train went directly to Hankow, without stopping.
Han Fuyu remained silent all the way, and an experienced soldier would not panic at a critical moment. What he regretted was that he had not broken with the fickle and cunning Chiang Kai-shek earlier and found another way out.
Feng Yuxiang had warned him to be on guard against Chiang Kai-shek at all times, and this warning was finally fulfilled.
Han Fuyu was placed under house arrest on a two-story building, and the spy chiefs Dai Li and Gong Xianfang personally escorted him. At the beginning of the interrogation, the presiding judge, He Yingqin, asked him if he had anything to plead to his crimes in Shandong.
After Liu Zhi took Han Fuyu away, Chiang Kai-shek announced that he had been arrested and brought to justice. Sun Tongxuan thought that Han Fuyu would definitely die.
Han Fuyu and He Yingqin remained silent in the courtroom, and no matter how the trial judge pressed them, they did not answer. The trial was inconclusive, and Han Fuyu resolutely remained silent, showing the tenacity of Yan Zhaoren.
However, his fate changed in a sudden event. When a spy told him that Judge He wanted to talk to him, Han Fuyu followed him downstairs, only to find himself surrounded by heavily armed sentinels.
He knew that it was the last moment of his life. Han Fuyu tried to escape his fate and asked to go back and change his shoes before leaving, but his request was interrupted by gunshots. He collapsed on the stairs with two bullets in the head and five in the body, and although he already knew his fate, he still couldn't accept this outcome.
His eyes were still open, looking at the world, as if telling of his unwillingness and helplessness. Han Fuyu's death makes people lament the impermanence of fate and the fragility of life.
His story also makes us realize that life is short, and we should cherish every moment to create more value for ourselves and others. Although his fate cannot be changed, his spirit and influence will always be there.
When the news of Han Fuyu's execution came, Han's subordinates and relatives were shocked. Previously, Han's bodyguard, Grand Duke Wei, had informed his relatives of the news of the detention.
Han Fuyu's eldest wife, Gao Yizhen, lives in Luohe, Henan, and his second wife, Ji Ganqing, lives in Ma Hongkui, Yinchuan, Ningxia. Ko Ye-jin was about to go to Wuchang to visit Han, but because she was worried that she would not be able to withstand the blow, Han's cronies did not tell her the truth about Han's execution, but only advised her not to go.
Gao Yizhen decided to send an adjutant to Wuchang. However, Zheng Dongguo, the Henan garrison, suddenly sent someone to inform her, saying that he was coming to visit her. Gao Yizhen realized that things had changed, and she was afraid that she was going to raid her home, so she gathered her family and guards to discuss countermeasures.
Before Zheng arrived, they opened all the cabinets and boxes in the house and stacked them on the table.
Ko Ye-jin received Jung Dong-kook at home. Zheng Dongguo said that he was ordered by Chairman Jiang to express his condolences to Gao Yizhen. Gao Yizhen put forward three requirements: one is to go to Wuchang to visit Xiang Fang, the second is to ask the guards to return to Shandong to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, and the third is not to accept **.
Zheng Dongguo did not dare to reply immediately at that time, but after consulting Chiang Kai-shek, he replied to Gao Yizhen, and Chairman Chiang basically agreed to her request. In addition, in order to take care of the lives of Gao Yizhen's family, Chairman Jiang has ordered the Shandong Provincial Minsheng Bank to allocate 100,000 yuan to her as a family.
After Zheng Dongguo left, he sent an adjutant to Wuchang, where he met Ji Ganqing, who had come from Yinchuan, Ningxia.
Han Fuyu's body was parked downstairs. The court granted her permission to enter the shrine. Ji Ganqing was heartbroken when he saw Han Fuyu's body. Subsequently, under the arrangement of Han Fuyu's close friend Sun Lianzhong, Han Fuyu's ashes were buried in the Jigongshan cemetery, and the family set up a stone tablet in front of the tomb, which was engraved with the words "Han Fuyu's Tomb".
