One day in August 1950, a vendor was setting up a stall selling tobacco leaves and sweets on the streets of Xidan, when suddenly several police officers from the Public Security Bureau appeared, stared at him for a while, and then took out an arrest warrant and said: "Li Yingqi, we have been looking for you for a long time!" ”
The policeman pushed the vendor to the ground, but he cried out: "Comrade policeman, you have arrested the wrong person!" I'm not Li Yingqi! At this time, an elderly policeman said, "Li Yingqi, don't resist.
Say we've caught the wrong person? Then how about we let the people who were once imprisoned by you in Xinjiang prison and by you identify you? When the little trader heard this, he lowered his head and stopped shouting injustice. Later, Li Yingqi's information was sent to Chairman ***.
After reading it, the chairman said heavily: "*Ah, you can finally get an explanation!" ”
So, what is the background of this Li Yingqi? What does he have to do with Mao's sacrifice? Mao **, the founder of red finance, is the younger brother of the great man, born in Xiangtan, Hunan Province in 1896.
In 1921, Mao ** followed in the footsteps of his elder brother and devoted himself to the revolutionary torrent, taking charge of the school affairs of Hunan Provincial Normal Primary School in Changsha, specifically managing the food and logistics of the teachers and students of the school.
In that era of war, the people lived on food, but the social turmoil and the people's livelihood was difficult, which was a very challenging task. However, the young Mao ** showed excellent ability, he searched everywhere for low-cost ingredients, and also mobilized students to grow vegetables and pigs to reduce expenses and increase income.
In response to the situation that some poor students are unable to pay tuition fees, Mao ** has adopted a direct exemption or installment payment method to reduce their burden, so it has been appreciated by teachers and students.
Grandpa Mao was an economic expert, his character was upright, honest and honest, and the party organization trusted him very much, and later appointed him as the first president of the State Bank of the Chinese Soviets.
At that time, there were only five people in the bank, the education level was not high, and the business was not familiar, so Grandpa Mao personally taught them bookkeeping and accounting, and the banking system was built in two months. Later, Grandpa Mao became the Minister of Finance of the Soviet Union.
However, the blockade policy of the Kuomintang at that time, the economic conditions in the Soviet areas were very bad. However, Grandpa Mao quickly unified the currency, expanded the foreign currency, exchanged "hard goods" such as salt for grain, and opened 3 tungsten mines, and the economic environment in the Soviet area was booming, and some people began to call him the "originator of red finance".
At work, Grandpa Mao is diligent and diligent, in life, he is dedicated to the public, honest and honest, and the receptionist only has boiled water and wowotou, and never talks about pomp. He often said that leading cadres should take the lead in working hard and should not spend a penny indiscriminately.
We must manage money for the people and the army, and we must be frugal.
During the Long March, Mao ** bravely shouldered heavy burdens and practiced the concept of "serving the people" with practical actions.
However, long-term overwork and malnutrition led to a deterioration in his health, and at the end of 1937, Mao ** became ill from overwork and prepared to go to the Soviet Union**.
But fate seemed to play a joke on him, and when he first arrived in Dihua, Xinjiang, a large-scale plague broke out on the Sino-Soviet border, customs were forced to close, and Mao ** was forced to stay in Dihua.
At this time, Sheng Shicai, chairman of Xinjiang, was a warlord, and after doing his work, Mao stayed in Xinjiang under the pseudonym "Zhou Bin" and continued to serve the people.
With the assistance of the Soviet Union, Sheng Shicai succeeded in gaining control of Xinjiang. He was deeply aware of the importance of the Soviet Union, and when the Communist Party sent people, he did not dare to take it lightly, and immediately invited Zhou Bin to serve as vice minister of finance.
At first, Sheng Shicai wooed Zhou Bin only out of courtesy, but he was soon attracted by Zhou Bin's economic talents. He understands that the people around him only fight, not the economy.
However, Zhou Bin is different, his appearance gave Sheng Shicai a new idea, that is, to pull him into his team. Due to Sheng Shicai's lack of economic knowledge, whenever there were economic difficulties, he would print money frantically, which led to serious inflation in Xinjiang.
A box of matches costs 500,000 silver tickets, a basket of eggs costs 5 million silver tickets, and people even need to carry several bags of banknotes to meet the needs of daily life. As the saying goes, "when the cannon goes off, ** ten thousand taels".
In order to make money and expand his power, Sheng Shicai fully trusted Zhou Bin to handle economic affairs. Here, Zhou Bin's financial talent has been fully displayed.
He carried out tax reform, streamlined the tax bureaus, upheld the principle of "those who are capable are promoted and those who are mediocre are demoted," and redundant personnel were reduced to reduce the economic burden on the people. He has also established a professional institutional system to ensure the efficiency and fairness of the service.
In addition, he carried out the reform of the banking system, introduced private capital, expanded the coverage of bank loans, and met the financing needs of the people. In order to ensure the success of the reform, he also opened a financial school and trained nearly 100 financial talents of all ethnic groups, who became the backbone of various industries after graduation.
Zhou Bin's governance has given Xinjiang's economy a new lease of life, not only paying off foreign debts and achieving a balance between payments and payments, but also showing vigorous vitality in various industries, and steadily improving people's living standards.
However, Zhou Bin's policy was too biased towards the interests of the people, resulting in Sheng Shicai's military spending not being increased accordingly. Sheng Shicai felt that although the economy was improving, he did not have enough money to spare, so what was the point of these reforms?
So, he began to set up obstacles for Zhou Bin ......
Zhou Bin's measures were opposed by Sheng Shicai, who appointed Li Yingqi, director of the Public Security Administration, as a "representative" to oppose Zhou Bin. Li Yingqi used his power to obstruct the implementation of Zhou Bin's policies at every turn, and used spies to monitor Zhou Bin and his team.
In 1942, the Soviet Union gave up aid to China, and Sheng Shicai lost support. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek seized the opportunity and wooed Sheng Shicai. Sheng Shicai, with the support of the Kuomintang, decided to carry out ** against Zhou Bin and other Communists.
He ordered Li Yingqi to surround Zhou Bin's residence and interrogate him in the name of the provincial **. In the face of Li Yingqi's threat, Zhou Bin behaved calmly and calmly, and got into the car for interrogation.
During the interrogation, Sheng Shicai tried to deceive Zhou Bin by using sweet words, but Zhou Bin, as a staunch communist fighter, always remained sober. Although Sheng Shicai resorted to various deception methods, Zhou Bin always adhered to his beliefs and was unmoved.
In the end, Sheng Shicai imprisoned Zhou Bin in the Liu Mansion in poor conditions.
When Li Yingqi called Sheng Shicai to ask how to deal with Zhou Bin and his party, Zhou Bin quickly picked up ** and severely accused Sheng Shicai of treachery and imprisoned them as meritorious people.
"You have to release us, or you're going to end badly," he said. Sheng Shicai was shocked by his words and was speechless for a while. Zhou Bin understood that Sheng Shicai had completely become the leader of the reactionary elements and could not be recovered, so he decisively hung up.
Soon after, ** learned the news of Mao ** and other comrades**, and immediately telegraphed Sheng Shicai, asking him to release them. However, thanks to Chiang Kai-shek's support, Sheng Shicai did not change his decision because of this.
Later, Sheng Shicai ordered Li Yingqi to torture Mao ** and others to admit that they had committed the "** crime", but Mao ** took the lead in a hunger strike** and asked Sheng Shicai to conduct a fair review.
Although Sheng Shi felt very troubled, he was helpless, because there was no "incriminating evidence" at present, and he was also afraid that things would make a big deal. In the end, he could only agree. In order to force Mao ** and others to confess, the enemy began endless torture to extract confessions, but Mao ** and others were loyal and unyielding, and regarded death as home.
One day in May 1943, Mao ** was escorted to Li Yingqi and was injured all over his body. I saw Li Yingqi holding a cigarette, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said triumphantly: "You'd better admit to participating in the riot!"
There is no point in continuing to resist! ”
Mao ** firmly denied participating in the riots, saying that the other party was slandering him. Li Yingqi retorted that the evidence was conclusive and that Mao ** and others had been involved. Mao refuted Li Yingqi's accusations and asked what contributions the other party had made in the past four years.
Li Yingqi immediately changed his face, because Mao ** and others had caused him a lot of trouble, so he ordered Mao ** to be escorted back to prison. After being questioned by Mao **, Li Yingqi hated Mao ** and tortured Mao ** inhumanely, and even squeezed him with a board on his injured part, causing Mao ** to bite his lip and collar.
But Mao ** always remained silent, showing the spirit of seeing death as if he were at home and contempt for the enemy. Due to physical reasons, Mao ** fell into a coma under a long period of torture, but Li Yingqi did not stop, every time Mao ** passed out, he woke him up with a strong potion.
I will not betray the party, communists have backbone! He resolutely refused, and then passed out. Later, Sheng Shicai secretly ordered Li Yingqi to kill Mao ** and others, and also blocked the news.
It was not until the eve of the victory of the Liberation War that the truth was revealed. It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come. In August 1949, ** peacefully liberated Xinjiang and rescued more than 100 imprisoned Communist Party members, and they learned the news of Mao's sacrifice.
The great man's heart was filled with grief, and he decreed that the traces of the demons must be found and justice must be sought for the souls of the martyrs in heaven. In the winter of 1949, with the unremitting efforts of the public security organs, Li Yingqi's henchman Zhang Sixin was arrested.
At that time, he was the captain of law enforcement, and his hands were stained with the blood of communists. After interrogation, Zhang Sixin admitted the fact that Li Yingqi killed Mao **, and restored the case in detail: On September 27, 1943, in order to show his loyalty to the Kuomintang, Sheng Shicai issued a secret order to Li Yingqi and others to kill Mao ** and others.
That night, Li Yingqi brought five killers into the office, and then asked the jailer to lie that Sheng Shicai wanted to see Mao **, but Mao ** was tricked into the office. As soon as he entered the door, a killer knocked Mao ** out from behind with a wooden stick, and then tightly wrapped a rope around his neck until he strangled him to death.
Li Yingqi even took a posthumous photo of Mao ** afterwards and asked the Kuomintang authorities for merit and reward. The facts are conclusive, Li Yingqi is the one who murdered Mao**, but Zhang Sixin doesn't know where Li Yingqi is at this time.
Since the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Yingqi has mysteriously "disappeared".
In 1946, Sheng Shicai was transferred to Chongqing as Minister of Agriculture, and in order to ensure that Li Yingqi did not reveal his secrets, he did not choose to take him with him. Li Yingqi, who lost his backer, began to run a transportation business, and on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he ** his own car, which has since disappeared from people's field of vision.
A year later, a Uighur Communist Party member in prison reported to the Beijing Public Security Bureau that he had seen a man suspected of being Li Yingqi in Xidan.
After many investigations, the Beijing Public Security Bureau finally determined that the identity of this person was Li Yingqi. However, just as ** was preparing to act, Li Yingqi mysteriously disappeared again and has not appeared on the streets of Xidan so far.
Li Yingqi felt that he might have exposed his identity, so he wisely chose to go to Nanjing to avoid the limelight. In order to lure out the hidden fox, the Beijing Public Security Bureau called ** to inform Li Yingqi's wife, asking him to let Li Yingqi go home as soon as possible to register his household registration.
After hearing the news, Li Yingqi immediately returned to Beijing, but he did not immediately go to the public security bureau to register his household registration, but decided to go out of the stall first to observe the situation, but he did not expect that he had fallen into the big net, and the scene at the beginning of the article appeared.
During the interrogation, Li Yingqi admitted that he was guilty and deserved to die, but he always insisted that he did not kill Mao **. It wasn't until Zhang Sixin stood up to speak that Li Yingqi confessed his crime.
**After seeing these materials, the chairman was in a state of pain, and he could not have imagined that his second brother, who he had been thinking about day and night, would be treated so cruelly. ***, who has always been strong-willed, couldn't help but shed tears at the moment.
On April 29, 1951, the public security forces escorted 25 counter-revolutionaries led by Li Yingqi to the public trial hall to face a fair trial. At 11 o'clock in the morning of the same day, when the presiding judge announced that the crime was extremely heinous and that the execution was immediately carried out, the 80,000 people at the scene applauded.
Fear was written on his face, and he tearfully begged for forgiveness, claiming that he had been forced by the warlord Sheng Shicai. However, this does not change his fate, because the end of opposing the people is always cruel.
Bang bang! After two righteous gunshots, Li Yingqi fell in front of the people, and the souls of Mao ** and other heroes in the sky could rest in peace!
