**Mountain and Zhang Zishan**How much is 100 million yuan worth now?
On the afternoon of February 10, 1952, a case of national concern came to an end after a solemn trial. The presiding judge solemnly announced: "The two defendants, *Shan and Zhang Zishan, have been sentenced to death in accordance with the law and will be executed immediately. ”
The two criminals were brought to the execution ground, and as the gunshots rang out, their sinful lives came to an end. This large-scale ** case has now been completely settled.
* Shan and Zhang Zishan were originally heroes of the founding of the Republic, but after the victory of the revolution, they failed to resist the ** of money and joined forces to embezzle 171600 million old yuan, the whole country was in an uproar.
This coincided with the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, 15200 million old renminbi is enough to buy one fighter jet, and the two of them embezzled the money that can buy ten fighter jets, which is really hateful.
They appropriated 171600 million old yuan, how much is it worth now, so that the two of them were reduced from founding heroes to death row prisoners?
Mountain: From Son of a Farmer to a Revolutionary Mountain, born in 1916 in a poor peasant family in Hebei. The poverty did not dampen his fighting spirit, but gave him a deeper understanding of social injustice.
In 1931, at the age of 15, he resolutely joined the revolution and became a member of the Communist Party. In revolutionary activities, he always rushed to the forefront, and his firm revolutionary conviction was appreciated and recognized by the leadership.
In order to better improve himself, in 1937, he was sent to Yan'an to study. Here, he actively studied the party's advanced thinking, constantly improved his ability and quality, washed away the reckless atmosphere of the past, and became more mature and steady.
Subsequently, he was sent to Dacheng County, Hebei Province as the head of the organization department, and was later appointed as the secretary of the Dacheng County Party Committee. At his post, he actively propagated the party's advanced ideas, led the people in self-defense and counterattack, set up an anti-Japanese team, and brilliantly fulfilled various tasks.
Due to his outstanding work performance, in 1941, he was transferred to the deputy secretary of the Jizhong Prefectural Committee. The next year, Zhang Zishan also came to Jizhong as the head of the organization.
Their encounter opened a new chapter.
Zhang Zishan, a character from a poor background but with an extraordinary fate. Unlike ** Mountain, he was fortunate to receive an education under the blessing of his eldest brother, and was admitted to a normal school at the age of 16.
In 1933, he came into contact with Marxist theory and was deeply influenced by it, so he did not hesitate to join the Communist Party of China and became a staunch Communist Party member.
However, instead of being properly protected, his loyalty was betrayed by a traitor during a mission and he was imprisoned. While in prison, the Kuomintang constantly tortured him in an attempt to obtain party secrets from him.
However, Zhang Zishan adhered to his beliefs, resolutely guarded the party's secrets, gritted his teeth and persevered no matter how severely tortured he was, showing the firmness and courage of a Communist Party member. Finally, after the 77 Incident, he successfully escaped from prison and reconnected with the organization after all kinds of difficulties.
In 1942, the organization appointed Zhang Zishan as the head of the organization to work with ** mountain. Both of them shoulder the responsibility together, both have firm beliefs in their hearts, and both have excellent work ability, cooperate tacitly, and excellently complete every task assigned to them by the organization.
In 1949, when the People's Republic of China was about to be founded, they were transferred to Tianjin to serve as the secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Prefectural Party Committee and the commissioner of the Tianjin Special Administration, contributing to the development of Tianjin.
The whole world is beaten down by Lao Tzu, what's wrong with enjoying a little? Once, **Shan wanted to eat leek dumplings, but because leeks are not easy to digest, he asked the chef to make a bowl of leek dumplings without leeks.
At that time, greenhouse cultivation had not yet developed, and leeks were hard to come by in the cold winter, so chefs ran through the market to find a few on the outskirts of Beijing. In the era when there was no juicer, it was like a fantasy to make leek dumplings look like no leeks.
In order to satisfy the cravings of ** mountain, the chefs can only stuff leeks into the meat filling and pull them out after cooking. However, such operations often result in cracking of the dumpling skin, and many of the broken dumplings are eventually thrown away.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the whole country was frugal and supported the front line. However, the life of ** mountain is extravagant and wasteful. In addition to his willful demands for leek dumplings, he also wore a fur coat on cold winter days, which was a very luxurious act at the time.
It's a difficult thing to wear a padded suit, let alone a fur coat. In addition, **Shan also looked down on the unit's car allocation, and went to Hong Kong to buy a number of luxury cars with his own money.
As a secretary of the prefectural party committee, where did **shan get so much money?
In 1950, in order to make up for the financial gap, ** launched the organ production activities, which were originally intended to solve the economic difficulties caused by the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, however, this activity was used by ** Shan and Zhang Zishan to collect money.
At first, they were content only to take bribes. Some people find them for personal gain, and they take money to help solve the problem. However, as the stolen money accumulates, their desires become greater and greater and cannot be stopped.
*Shan and Zhang Zishan were no longer satisfied with waiting for others to come to them, they began to take the initiative**. The production activities of the organs were supposed to be a project that would benefit the state and the people, but they withheld food, making it impossible for local troops, migrant workers, and cadres' families to eat normally.
They replace the good grain with the bad grain, and then resell the grain that has been deducted to obtain a large amount of ill-gotten gains. As time went on, they became more and more emboldened, and in addition to reselling grain, they also found people to pretend to be soldiers, and resold wood and steel.
Even the money for the construction of the airport and the relief of the people dared to go into their own pockets. In order to prevent the crime from being exposed, Zhang Zishan burned 378 documents at one time.
After having an economic foundation, **Shan and Zhang Zi made good use of high-salary** national technical talents to jump ship and set up a company to facilitate their illegal enrichment. In just three years, they have **171600 million old yuan.
* Shan bought a villa in Tianjin, which was known as "Liu Mansion". However, this "Liu Mansion" is actually a "drug place" used by ** Mountain to hide people's eyes.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tianjin's "big smoke houses" and "brothels" had not completely disappeared, and it was at that time that the mountain was infected with the vice of "drug abuse". While swallowing clouds and spitting fog, he indulged in the gentle countryside, lived a corrupt life, and was also corrupted by drugs and desires to the last of his heart.
Due to his "drug-taking" behavior, he always seemed sluggish when he went to work and held meetings, which attracted the attention of Zhang Zishan's deputy, Li Kecai. Li Kecai is the deputy commissioner of the Tianjin Special Agency, he is jealous and hateful, honest and upright.
When "People's **" published the news of the illegal transportation and sale of timber by the Tianjin Prefectural Committee, Li Ke felt nervous. Although he didn't know the true faces of ** Shan and Zhang Zishan, he still hurried to find them to inquire about the situation and solutions.
However, **Shan's relaxed attitude and meaningful words made Li Kecai feel that something was wrong. He warned them not to betray the party and the people, and investigated them privately, and found clues about their **.
This made him angry and distressed, and he admonished them many times, only to be ignored and ridiculed by them. When he went to the provincial meeting, he reported the two of them to the provincial party committee, but the provincial leaders did not believe that they would **, and some people even colluded with them, saying that they would investigate, but in fact they came to Tianjin to beat his small report.
In order to appease him and prevent him from reporting to **, **Shan and Zhang Zishan tried to bribe him.
Li Kecai's wife had just given birth, but he was sent to the countryside to conduct research. Zhang Zishan seized the opportunity to send two million in the name of visiting, taking advantage of Li Kecai's absence"Milk powder money"。
When he got home and learned about the huge amount of money, he immediately returned the money. However, Zhang Zishan sent the money back, which made him very angry. In order to maintain the integrity of the party and the happiness of the people, and protect the interests of his family from being implicated, he resolutely rejected this ill-gotten gain, and worked hard to collect evidence of the two of them committing crimes in private.
Finally, in Hebei Province"Three antis"At the work meeting, he held evidence and spoke on stage without warning, exposing the facts of the crime of **Shan and Zhang Zishan**.
The organization launched an investigation into an astonishing case, and the results showed that Shan and Zhang Zishan had a total value of 171600 million yuan of old yuan.
Although the conversion ratio of the old currency to the new currency is 1:10,000, its ** amount is still as high as 17160,000 yuan, a huge amount. After the "three anti" meeting, the relevant departments quickly arrested Zhang Zishan, and three days later, he transferred the first mountain who went abroad to study back to China.
* Shan was unaware of his actions and was arrested at Tianjin Station. After being imprisoned, **Shan naively believed that he was the founder of the country and would not be severely punished for **, and even refused to admit his guilt at first.
However, when the ironclad evidence was in front of him, he finally had to admit his guilt, but he still had a trace of luck in his heart, believing that his merits could offset the crime.
During the trial of this case, there were also divisions within the organization.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the legal system was not perfect, and there was a lack of special laws to punish the serious crimes of ** Shan and Zhang Zishan. Considering their contribution to the revolution, the death sentence does not seem humane.
The Hebei Provincial Party Committee reported the verdict to the North China Bureau, and after careful consideration, added a two-year suspension clause for enforcement. Once these comments are summarized in **, the issue is forwarded to ***
Although *** had been worried about moths in the party, he didn't expect ** to appear so soon. They were comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, but some turned their backs on their faith.
This makes *** deeply saddened. For the sake of the country, it was decided to sentence Shan and Zhang Zishan to death, which would be executed immediately.
There was an uproar throughout the country, and people applauded one after another, thinking that this was a good thing for the people's hearts; But there are also some people, such as ** Shan and Zhang Zishan's former comrades-in-arms, who think that such a treatment is too harsh and may shake the morale of the revolutionary ranks.
In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, the North China Bureau quickly reported the matter to ** and put forward a recommendation to revoke the verdict of the dead executive. However, ** said: "It is precisely because of their great credit that they need to be dealt with seriously."
Only in this way can more comrades who have made mistakes rein in the precipice and embark on the right path. As soon as these words came out, people realized the seriousness of the problem and gradually calmed down the voices of discussion.
On February 9, **Shan and Zhang Zishan met for the first time in prison after receiving the death sentence and enjoyed their last dinner together. It was the Spring Festival, and the dinner was prepared very richly, but neither of them moved their chopsticks.
Zhang Zishan still had a glimmer of hope and pleaded with the organization to re-adjudicate. But after learning that this was ***'s instruction, he was heartbroken and finally accepted the fate of being shot.
Compared with Zhang Zishan, the reckless ** mountain seems to be more calm. His only concern was whether his family would be able to live normally after his death, because his youngest child had just turned a year old.
The organization promised not to engage in joint sitting, and said that it would take care of the family for **shan and issue a monthly relief fund of 15 yuan. When Shan heard the news, he said no more, quietly enjoyed his dinner, and then calmly waited for death to come.
On the battlefield filled with gunpowder, the two heroes of ** Shan and Zhang Zishan made great achievements for the country with their outstanding courage and courage; However, in the face of **, they lost their faith and eventually went to the abyss of corruption and depravity.
Today, under the watchful eyes of the people, they were taken to the execution ground. Out of humanitarianism, they were given bullets as a relief, ending their glamorous but absurd lives, and at the same time drawing an end to the ** case that shocked the whole country.
This incident sounded the alarm for all party members and made us think deeply: in the face of **, how to stick to our beliefs, always maintain a clear mind and noble conduct.
