After Dai Li's death, Jiang checked his inheritance and learned that the number was scolded
On the afternoon of March 17, 1946, a loud noise near Nanjing broke the silence, and a plane taking off from Qingdao unfortunately crashed into Daishan before landing, killing all 13 people, including the crew members.
This news caused a lot of shock in Nanjing, especially the Kuomintang, because they lost a "** king" - Dai Li. Chiang Kai-shek was so saddened by this that he ordered a grand funeral for Dai Li, and after writing a touching elegy for him, he personally inspected Dai Li's belongings.
However, when he saw the list of his possessions, he became furious and scolded in front of his men. What did the military commander find out in Dai Li's house that made Chiang Kai-shek so out of shape?
Dai Li, the ** legend of wisdom and bravery, his ambition to make money has been born as early as his youth. He was born in 1891 in a small village in Jiangshan County, Zhejiang Province, and lived with his mother.
Although he had only studied for a few days, thanks to his mother's open-mindedness and wisdom, Dai Li learned some words, but he could only drop out of school because of the hardships of life. Dai Li didn't have much interest in learning.
At that time, China was in the midst of a storm of change, and the wars and novelties of the great powers were pouring in. As an important port in the southeast, Shanghai has become a testing ground for all sorts of new things, and many young people have come to the metropolis to make a living.
Dai Li, who had nothing to do, also came up with the same idea. After consulting with his mother, he packed his bags and went to the first city of the Far East full of hope.
He came to this place full of hope, thinking that it would be everywhere, everyone would get rich, and the people at the bottom could live a happy life. However, the reality disappointed him, and the people at the bottom are still living a miserable life, with no food and no clothes.
For a man of knowledge and ability, it is not easy to find a lucrative job. Depressed, he took his coiled and walked into a local casino to try his luck, but he lost all his money, was detained by the casino owner, and couldn't run away.
Seeing that the five big and three thick bodyguards around the boss were about to unload his hands and feet, he directly expressed that he was willing to be the boss's thug to pay off his debts. He once learned a little martial arts, and his boxing skills were quite good, and he performed a section immediately after being released, which was affirmed by the boss.
Since then, his life has changed, with a generous pay and a tipping from guests at the casino. Seeing that he had more and more money in his hands, he began to think about how to manage his finances.
In casinos, there are both spendthrift high rollers and wise men who know the art of wealth. After some introduction, Dai Lian became interested in ** trading.
Not only did he put his savings into it, but he also got a small job at the exchange during the day in addition to his work in an underground casino. It was here that he met the people who changed the course of his life.
One morning, he received two low-key guests and recommended them some money-making products. Because the two sides talked speculatively and talked a lot, he overheard each other's names - Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Jitao.
Dai Li, who has met all kinds of people in exchanges and casinos, also has a certain understanding of national events and influential figures. He warmly entertained the two guests and skillfully brought them closer.
Chiang Kai-shek was very impressed by the young man's diligence and ingenuity, so he became very close to him. Dai Li also volunteered to be Chiang Kai-shek's right-hand man, helping him with all kinds of affairs, whether official or private.
Dai Li's efforts were not in vain, and in 1926, Chiang Kai-shek gave him a big gift - admission to the Whampoa Military Academy, which was his passport to power and wealth.
He was determined to excel in his studies, because he knew that Chiang Kai-shek was watching him all the time. Dai Lia is a very confident and ruthless person, who is not only strict with himself, but also with others.
In order to impress Chiang Kai-shek, he studied hard, not only achieving excellent results, but also organizing his own small group. He used the money he earned in casinos and exchanges to buy hearts and minds and use them to exploit other students.
The speed at which money makes money is very fast, so Dai Li, who just graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, became a small millionaire.
While Dai Li's career of accumulating wealth was successful, his career also began to get on the right track. In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup d'état, beginning his reign.
With the launch of a series of terrorist activities such as raids and arrests in the country, the people's resistance has become increasingly high, and various voices have emerged inside and outside the party. In order to consolidate the foundation of his rule, Chiang Kai-shek began to plan the establishment of a secret service to monitor the movements of important members of the party and undertake the task of assassinating people outside the party and the masses.
Dai Li, who is good at dealing with the three religions and nine streams and has a delicate mind, seized this opportunity and became the head of the secret service. With the heavy workload, he also recruited many Whampoa students as alumni, and later gradually grew into the "Group of Ten", and the intelligence network spread throughout the national control area.
Dai Li's position was high at the time, and many people wanted to get close to him. He was unrelenting in his collection of money, and his wealth was accumulating more and more. In the thirties of the twentieth century, the Chinese Communist Party was growing rapidly, gradually becoming Chiang Kai-shek's number one enemy from a new party, so he became more and more dependent on spies.
As a result, Dai Lisa gained more and more indulgence and trust, and he began to open his mouth and ask for more funds. After all, to support the network and personnel of secret services throughout the country, this appropriation was agreed to by Chiang Kai-shek.
However, Dai Li appropriated ** for personal use and bought a large number of his own properties. In 1932, the Liberation Society was founded, and Dai Li was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek, who had already believed in him, as the head of the ** Division, competing with the Chen brothers' ** Intelligence Bureau.
In order to stand out from the competition, he frequently carried out assassination missions. He killed the Beiyang warlord traitor Zhang Jingyao in 1933 and Yang Xingfo, vice chairman of the China Civil Rights Protection League, in June.
In 1934, he killed Ji Hongchang, the commander of the Second Army of the Chasui People's Anti-Japanese Alliance. Although these tasks were not easy, they were rewarded handsomely by Chiang Kai-shek each time.
He gave part of the reward to his brother and kept most of it for himself. Although his wealth is increasing, he has also encountered some troubles, that is, the suppression of the Central Union is becoming more and more strict.
Zhongtong was born in a formal system, and they also made great contributions in the field of spies, so they occupied an important position in Chiang Kai-shek's mind. They have a sense of superiority over a mixed military commander like Dai Li.
But soon, he ushered in another springboard in his life, which freed him from this trouble.
On December 12, 1936, the Xi'an Incident broke out. Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a military admonition, hoping that Chiang Kai-shek would stop the civil war and unite against Japan. This news shocked the whole country and plunged the people of Nanjing into chaos.
There was a fierce controversy within the party about how to rescue Chiang Kai-shek and whether to accept Zhang Xueliang's request. He Yingqin, a high-ranking Whampoa general, advocated a storming of Xi'an to eradicate the "rebels," while civilian officials argued that the war would only make Zhang Xueliang more determined and could get the situation out of control.
After learning that Chiang Kai-shek had been captured, Soong Meiling and Soong Ziwen advocated a peaceful rescue and offered to negotiate with Zhang Xueliang in person. Song Meiling's right to speak also gave this proposal some support.
The two sides had a clear position and could not convince each other, and finally handed over the decision to Dai Li. Before his trip to Xi'an, Dai received information warning Chiang Kai-shek not to go, as Zhang Xueliang might launch an army.
Although Chiang Kai-shek had the impression of Zhang Xueliang as a "filial brother" and a "loyal subordinate", he firmly believed that Zhang Xueliang did not have the guts. However, it happened.
It is widely believed that this was Dai Li's negligence. Dai Li was Chiang Kai-shek's spy, and his life and death depended on Chiang Kai-shek, so he decided to go to Xi'an with Soong Meiling to rescue Chiang Kai-shek.
Before leaving, he made careful arrangements for the military commanders, not only sending a large number of personnel to infiltrate Xi'an, but also organizing forces to forcibly rescue people if necessary. At the same time, he was worried that he might not be able to return from this trip, so he had already arranged for his elderly mother at home.
On December 21, Dai Li, who was ready, followed Song Meiling on the plane to Xi'an. After meeting with Zhang Xueliang, he made a request: "I want to take care of the commissioner." ”
After careful consideration, Zhang Xueliang agreed to his request. When Dai Li opened the door of Chiang Kai-shek's room, the majestic leader was sitting by the window a little tired at the moment, and was stunned at first when he saw him come in, and then pretended to be serious and reprimanded: "What are you here to make a mess?" ”
Seeing his expression, Dai Li's heart had a bottom, with his understanding of Lao Jiang, as long as he could get out alive, no one could shake him in his heart. After the mediation of the Communist Party and the intervention of various forces, Chiang Kai-shek was released on December 25.
This accident made him feel a lot of emotion, and soon after returning to Nanjing, he liquidated the participants in the incident. However, Dai Li, because of his "meritorious service in saving the driver", rose in Chiang Kai-shek's heart.
After the Xi'an Incident, Dai Li's accumulation of wealth became more and more unscrupulous, and even made a fortune by smuggling in-demand materials during the War of Resistance Against Japan. The so-called "funds" given to the military commanders by him** and Chiang Kai-shek were available to all parties.
While listening to the intelligence of the Japanese and assassinating them, he also made material deals with them. He also fell in love with Hu Die, the movie star at that time, at first sight, and spent a lot of money just to make Hu Die smile.
Dai Li's jewelry and real estate villas have given Hu Die countless times, but this is not the only woman. After the complete victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Dai Li's reputation and popularity in the Kuomintang for his assassination actions during the anti-Japanese war became more and more popular, however, Chiang Kai-shek's attitude changed.
Dai Li's intelligence network is growing by the thousands across the country, and he can spy on anyone's every move at any time. Chiang Kai-shek began to feel jealous and uneasy about this. In March 1946, Mao Renfeng told Dai Li that Chiang Kai-shek was about to hold a conference and asked him to come back immediately.
But when he saw that the list of participants was almost all his nemesis, Dai Li's heart suddenly became vigilant. Although he was a little unimpressed, he decided to set off immediately. However, since the entire south of the Yangtze River was shrouded in hazy smoke and rain, all the cities could not land, so he had to change his route repeatedly, and finally crashed into Daishan a few minutes away from Nanjing.
Although Nanjing was in sight, he could never return there.
Dai Li's death shocked the whole country, and people were in mixed moods. Grief-stricken, Chiang Kai-shek personally attended Dai Li's funeral and demanded that it be held to the highest standard.
At the funeral, Chiang Kai-shek looked at Dai Li's **, tears rippled, and chanted over and over again: "Why did Yunong leave me!" "Emotions are almost out of control. However, when he saw the list of Dai Li's inheritance brought by Mao Renfeng, his reaction became extremely angry.
He scolded: "Wear a hat thief! This inconsistent behavior has led to many speculations. Later, someone learned from Mao Renfeng that Dai Li left a lot of wealth, including thousands**, 100,000 US dollars, luxury cars, jewelry, and real estate all over the country.
What's even more shocking is that he also sent many things to his lover.
Shockingly, Chiang Kai-shek had already understood Dai Li's greedy nature. He knew that when the water was clear, there would be no fish, and it was impossible to expect his men to be as incorruptible as jade. In addition, Dai Li was also named the "First Loyal Minister" at that time, and this filter made him turn a blind eye to Dai Li's behavior.
However, after Dai Li's death, Chiang Kai-shek's jealousy of him was stronger than ever. Seeing such a situation, he naturally couldn't tolerate it any longer. In the end, the money was confiscated, and Dai Li may never have dreamed that the family business he had worked hard to accumulate would eventually be taken by Lao Jiang for himself.
