In January 1949, the Kuomintang was in turmoil, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to step down, and Li Zongren became the first Li Zongren to show his willingness to negotiate with our party after taking office.
However, bargaining chips were needed for negotiations, and Li Zongren decided to release a batch"Political prisoners"to show sincerity. This decision caused a stir in society. Yang Hucheng's family has been detained for years, and people are worried about the fate of the patriotic general.
However, when the news of Yang Hucheng's freedom was expected to be restored, people were overjoyed. However, despite the attention that attracted much attention in this matter, in the end, Yang Hucheng was not only not released, but was brutally killed.
So, what really happened back then?
Li Zongren's imprisonment career, Chiang Kai-shek and Yang Sen are responsible. Although Chiang Kai-shek was already **, he still had real power, and he resolutely opposed the release of Yang Hucheng, and even demanded that he be killed.
Although Li Zongren was ***, his orders were not carried out by Yang Sen, the mayor of Chongqing, and Yang Sen, as a Sichuan warlord, participated in the detention of Yang Hucheng for many years and was powerful.
Li Zongren realized that in order to release Yang Hucheng, he had to persuade the Secret Bureau to release him, but they were completely outside Li Zongren's control. In desperation, he enlists the help of Janssen, who is powerful and powerful, and if he is willing to compromise, things may turn around.
However, after receiving the order, Yang Sen did not release Yang Hucheng, but instead found Mao Renfeng, director of the Secret Bureau, to discuss a solution. Mao Renfeng strictly followed Chiang Kai-shek's instructions and resolutely disagreed with the release of Yang Hucheng.
Yang Sen also believes that Yang Hucheng cannot be released because he has been tortured in Sichuan, Chongqing and other places for many years, and even his wife committed suicide because she could not stand the torture during her detention.
Yang Sen decided not to compromise and insisted that Yang Hucheng be treated fairly.
For his own interests, Yang Sen treated Yang Hucheng's family by any means, and even thought about killing them. This behavior coincided with the ideas of Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Renfeng, and fully reflected their ruthlessness and selfishness.
During the captivity, Yang Hucheng's family lived in very poor conditions, they lived in a renovated Taoist temple, the room was leaky, and the guards spoke ill of them.
In order to make his family's life a little better, Yang Hucheng had to take out all his valuable items to repair the house and curry favor with the guards. This is really a poignant story that makes people deeply feel the ugliness and ruthlessness of power.
In 1946, the military commander transferred Yang Hucheng's family from Guizhou to Chongqing for detention, and Chongqing Governor Yang Sen took over the task. Although the KMT-CCP negotiations were ongoing, and the whole country was full of hope for peace, Yang Hucheng had already despaired.
He knew very well that Chiang Kai-shek would never let him go, and death was only a matter of time. Neither Yang Sen nor the rest of the Kuomintang would be polite to him. Therefore, "suffering" became the only summary of the last years of Yang Hucheng's life.
In 1947, Yang Hucheng and his secretary Song Qiyun and his family were transferred to another small building in Chongqing. Although they live in the same building, they are still not allowed to meet.
Yang Hucheng and his son were imprisoned on the top floor, while the Song family was imprisoned on the ground floor. The agents kept a strict eye on their meetings, scrutinizing even small notes to make sure they had no secret correspondence.
Under the instructions of Yang Sen, Mao Renfeng and others, Yang Hucheng's cronies were gradually replaced, leaving him isolated and helpless. In December of the same year, Mrs. Yang Hucheng was hospitalized due to illness, and her mental state deteriorated severely.
While giving her medicine, Mrs. snatched the long gold ring and swallowed it, ending her life in this way. The death of his wife dealt a heavy blow to Yang Hucheng, and the husband and wife spent more than ten years in captivity, becoming each other's spiritual pillars.
Now, the pillar has fallen, and Yang Hucheng has fallen into deep despair. A long life in captivity is enough to destroy all of a person's spiritual will.
In the memories of some spies, Yang Hucheng has fallen into a state of trance since the death of his wife. He just sat in the corner every day, looking at the same old newspaper, and he no longer answered other people's questions.
He also said nothing about his meeting with Chiang Kai-shek and his request for his release, perhaps no longer holding out any hope in his heart. In 1949, the news of Li Zongren's plan to release Yang Hucheng spread throughout the country, reminding people again of the general, who had been imprisoned for many years.
However, at this time, Yang Sen, Mao Renfeng, Zhou Yanghao and others were trying their best to avoid the society's ** and continue to imprison Yang Hucheng. Janssen believes that the most important task now is to avoid the public eye, and at the same time to prevent the public from hijacking prisons.
After discussion, they decided to transfer Yang Hucheng from Chongqing to Guizhou. Janssen, as the person in charge of the operation, decided to temporarily close all visitors.
Outside Yang's house, a large number of reporters gathered, eager to find out what Yang Sen had to say on the matter. However, Yang Sen's answer was "I don't know" and "I don't know", and he looked like he didn't care about Li Zongren.
For more than a month, reporters searched for Janssen's traces, but found no trace of him. In fact, Janssen chose to stay at home for this matter.
Yang Sen's choice eventually led to the tragedy of Yang Hucheng. If Yang Sen had been willing to make some remarks at that time, maybe the situation would have been different, but out of selfishness, he still pushed Yang Hucheng to death.
In February, Yang Hucheng and his family were transferred to Guiyang.
In April 1949, the battle of crossing the river began, the city of Nanjing changed hands, and Chiang Kai-shek's whereabouts were difficult to find. Mao Renfeng received an order to execute a group of political prisoners before the People's Liberation Army entered Sichuan, and Yang Hucheng's family bore the brunt of it.
Faced with the threat of death, Yang Hucheng was speechless, because he knew that in the face of a cruel and ruthless enemy, no words could resist. Eventually, Yang Hucheng and his eldest son were escorted to the Dai Gong Temple near Geyue Mountain, which would be the end of his life.
Mao Renfeng carefully planned and carried out a brutal revenge action at the Dai Gong Ancestral Hall. Dai Gong Ancestral Hall is the place where Mao Renfeng's old boss Dai Li is commemorated, and he chose this place to pay tribute to his old boss with the blood of Yang Hucheng's family.
It is convenient to bury the body nearby, as long as the body is hidden in a flower bed and destroyed with strong acid, the body can be prevented from being found. Mao Renfeng thought it was a perfect move.
This year, Yang Hucheng's eldest son Yang Zhengzhong was only 19 years old, and he spent his whole life under house arrest and never experienced the joy of freedom. However, his life came to an abrupt end at the age of 19.
Before going to Geyue Mountain, Yang Hucheng handed over his wife's urn to his son for safekeeping, which was the only way he could remember his wife, and he could not give it up even if he faced death.
In order to suppress the resistance of Yang Hucheng's father and son, the spies deliberately isolated them. Yang Hucheng suddenly heard his son's cry for help in the inner hall of the Dai Gong Ancestral Hall, and when he rushed out with all his might, he found that his son had been stabbed with a knife by the spy and was lying in a pool of blood.
There is no father in the world who can watch his son being indifferent to the enemy, Yang Hucheng, who is usually silent, was completely crazy at that moment, and he frantically pounced on the spies, hoping to save his son.
However, the resistance was futile, and the spies quickly restrained the struggling Yang Hucheng, and the sharp knife stabbed into his waist, causing blood to flow in an instant. Yang Hucheng fell to the ground and lost his strength, and the spies were afraid that he would not die, so they hurriedly made up a few more knives.
Yang Hucheng struggled with all his strength before he swallowed his breath, hugged his wife's urn, and then closed his eyes forever.
At the moment when the spy of ** rushed into the room, Yang Hucheng's youngest daughter Yang Zhenggui and Song Qiyun's son were playing carefree outside the door. In order to protect these two young and innocent children, the couple stood in front of the spies.
However, the agents were callous and did not hesitate to swing their swords at them and stab them frantically. In fear and horror, Song Qiyun begged the spies to let them go for the sake of the children's pity.
However, the cruelty of the spies was beyond everyone's imagination, and they not only assassinated Song Qiyun and his wife, but also brutally murdered their two children. Yang Zhenggui, a child who had never seen the outside world, was strangled to death like this, her life was so short, but it was full of pain and misfortune.
As night fell, a cruel ** was completed quietly. When Little Carrot Head was dying, the sympathy of a spy seemed so insignificant.
He tried to strangle the little turnip's head, but the child struggled too hard to do it. Eventually, Carrot Head was stabbed to death with a dagger by another agent. The spies looked at the bloody scene in front of them with satisfied expressions on their faces.
Then, they began to destroy the corpses, splashing them in the face with strong acids to make the corpses unrecognizable. Later, the forensic doctor could only barely confirm his identity through the two dentures in Yang Hucheng's mouth.
The body was moved to the garden at the back and buried with earth. The spies received Mao Renfeng's death order, telling them not to say a word to the outside world, otherwise they would be punished by killing them all.
Yang Hucheng's disappearance did not attract much attention at first, and even all sectors of society believed that he was imprisoned in Guizhou. However, this ruthless big ** changed the course of history forever.
In November after the liberation of Chongqing, the People's Liberation Army entered the city and began to search for news of Yang Hucheng's family in prison. However, they were shocked to find out that Yang Hucheng had been secretly transferred to Chongqing.
But what about this valiant general now? After a city-wide search and arrest, the PLA finally found several spies related to the murder of Yang Hucheng. The agents quickly admitted that Mr. Yang and his family had been killed.
Upon learning the news, the people were shocked and immediately ordered the spies to lead the way and go to the back garden of the Dai Gong Ancestral Hall to exhume the body. Sadly, Yang Hucheng could have been rescued within two months, but the enemy acted quickly, resulting in his heroic hero not being spared.
Despite this, the PLA held a funeral for Yang Hucheng and his family, and buried the general in the martyrs' cemetery to commemorate his heroic deeds.
What is outrageous is that those who were mainly responsible for the murder of Yang Hucheng have all fled to Taiwan, and Yang Sen, the warlord who bears great responsibility for this incident, was already in Taiwan under the vigorous promotion of Chiang Kai-shek when Yang Hucheng's body was found.
In the 70s, he was in a high position, and he once commented on himself unashamedly: "I have lived an ordinary and real life, if the years will not urge people to grow old, I will continue to show my strength to serve the people." ”
However, I wonder if when he said these words, he still remembered Yang Hucheng, who died tragically. Yang Sen may still be able to survive in the world, but Yang Hucheng's family has no chance to speak.
The sacrifice of a generation of heroes on the eve of the arrival of light is a scar that we can never forget, and it is also the regret of the whole nation. The ** of the year must not escape responsibility.
