In October 1956, Mao Renfeng, a powerful spy of the military command, was seriously ill in bed. As a big man who once held the power of the military and did nothing to kill, Mao Renfeng betrayed his relatives when he was seriously ill. The desperate Mao Renfeng lay on the hospital bed like this, welcoming the countdown to his life.
However, one day in October, Chiang Ching-kuo actually sent someone to bring a fruit basket to Mao Renfeng. Everyone knows that Jiang Mao and the two are not in harmony, but at this time, Jiang Jingguo sent him fruits, which is really incredible. After Mao Renfeng saw the fruit, he was uncharacteristically indifferent and cried bitterly.
Why did Chiang Ching-kuo and Mao Renfeng get out of harmony? Why did Mao Renfeng cry bitterly?
Click on it and walk into Mao Renfeng's life together.
When it comes to Mao Renfeng, many people have a deep impression of it. But as a well-known person in the Kuomintang, Mao Renfeng has a very unclear resume. This may be related to Mao Renfeng's identity as a military commander. Because of his special identity, many of Mao Renfeng's deeds have been hidden. There is very little information left for the world to examine. But from these materials, you can also see a little bit of it, and get a glimpse of Mao Renfeng's true face.
Mao Renfeng, born in 1898, is a native of Quzhou, Zhejiang. Mao Renfeng had excellent academic performance in his early years and was admitted to Shanghai Hujiang University. At that time, when the national revolution was surging, all the heroes of the world were among the revolutionary parties. As a young man with excellent grades and a heart for his family and country, Mao Renfeng couldn't help but admire the revolution.
Under the ideological instruction of "abolishing feudalism and revolutionizing China", Mao Renfeng chose to be admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy. As a highly talented student who can be admitted to Hujiang University, Mao Renfeng naturally has a handle on the examination of the Whampoa Military Academy. After an exam that seemed very easy to Mao Renfeng, he successfully entered the dream school of Chinese revolutionary youth. 、
As a fourth-term student of Whampoa, Mao Renfeng is not so outstanding among the students in this class. After all, among the students in this period, there are not only our party generals like **, but also future Kuomintang cadres like Hu Lian and Zhang Lingfu. Mao Renfeng is really a little inferior to these people. But compared with a few people, Mao Renfeng has a specialty. That is Mao Renfeng's Zhejiang identity.
As we all know, Chiang Kai-shek had two major strategies for employing people. One is Huangpu**, and the other is a fellow villager in Zhejiang. In the Whampoa Military Academy, it already occupies one of the principles of employing people, and if it is still from Zhejiang, it is a trustworthy plus point in the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek. Mao Renfeng entered the eyes precisely because of his dual identity.
But that's all for later. Soon after Mao Renfeng entered the Whampoa Military Academy, he had to drop out of school to recuperate due to physical illness. But this short trip to Whampoa did not play a role, at least it dangled in front of President Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1935, Chiang Kai-shek decided to strengthen the work of the spy and create the "Renaissance Society". At this time, the work of building spies within the Kuomintang was very backward, and a group of relevant personnel was urgently needed. As the head of the secret service personally appointed by Chiang Kai-shek, Dai Li began to expand the spy organization.
Mao Renfeng, a talent who has been recuperating for a long time, entered Dai Li's eyes at this time.
Although Dai Li was only a descendant of the sixth phase of Whampoa, he was capable, capable, and had a particularly close relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. This made this sixth-term student quickly climb to the middle of the pyramid of power, and at this time, Mao Renfeng, who was out of the fourth phase of Huangpu, was standing at the bottom of the pyramid looking at Dai Li.
Dai Li has a good impression of this "senior", and there are two main reasons. First, Mao Renfeng and Dai Li are fellow villagers, and once sponsored Dai Li's study in Whampoa. As a benefactor, he naturally wants to help support, which will also satisfy Chiang Kai-shek, who loves Zhejiang people. The second is Mao Renfeng's unique ruthlessness and endurance.
Although Mao Renfeng has a scholarly face. Always greet people with a smile. But in fact, this person is vicious, good at forbearance, and when he seizes the opportunity, he will directly kill people. Therefore, in the future, within the military system, Mao Renfeng was also known as the "Laughing Yama King".
These qualities made Dai Li very satisfied with him, so he was specially invited to join the military command. Mao Renfeng has been idle for too long, so he naturally wants fame and fortune. He soon accepted Dai Li's invitation to join the military command.
Although Dai Li attaches great importance to Mao Renfeng, Mao Renfeng has less qualifications after all, and he has been idle at home for a long time. Therefore, Mao Renfeng, who had just joined the military command, was assigned to Wuchang as the head of the unit. The head of the unit is a "chief", but the rank is too low.
In the Kuomintang, the level of a random person is not comparable to Mao Renfeng at this time. But Mao Renfeng will be able to snatch the power of military command from Zheng Jiemin and Tang Zong, the two Whampoa seniors and military veterans in the future, and naturally he is not a vegetarian.
Soon, Mao Renfeng's management skills were demonstrated. His knowledge and skills in economics and employment can be said to be perfect. The work of the military command in the Wuchang area was booming for a while, and the military command was yearning for being able to go to Wuchang to be controlled by Mao Renfeng.
Dai Li naturally saw Mao Renfeng's exploits, and directly promoted this military commander to several levels and transferred him to the post of chief secretary of the military command.
Mao Renfeng entered the upper echelons of the military command and became a brutal spy.
After Mao Renfeng relied on the relationship of Dai Li's hometown to enter the military command, why was he favored by Chiang Kai-shek after Dai Li's death and took over the overall situation of the military command?
After Mao Renfeng became the chief secretary of the military command, he partnered with Dai Li very well. As a very calculating domestic affairs talent, Mao Renfeng partnered with the eloquent Dai Li, who is "Xiao He meets Liu Bang". Under the partnership of the two, the military commander grew rapidly, and his sphere of influence spread throughout China. However, there are traces of military unification activities on Chinese soil, even in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and other places that were not under China's control at that time.
In the process of the expansion of the military system, Mao Renfeng was gradually known by the middle and lower-level cadres internally. Everyone learned about this "smiling tiger" who controlled the internal affairs of the military command. Although Mao Renfeng is recognized internally as a "smiling tiger", he is a ruthless person who is deeply hidden. But Dai Li, as the top boss, had a mediocre evaluation of Mao Renfeng, and even thought that Mao Renfeng was unproductive.
But he didn't expect that Mao Renfeng, who had mediocre qualifications and no future in his eyes, would quickly purge the military forces and take charge of the military command after his death.
In 1946, Dai Li fell to his death on the way to Shanghai. With the news of Dai Li's crash in Daishan, waves began to rise within the military command. Dai Li's death, who will take over the power of the military command has become an urgent issue to be solved within the military command. At this time, the military commanders lost their grief over Dai Li's death and threw themselves into the struggle for power.
But Mao Renfeng didn't do it. He personally went to the scene of the Daishan crash and collected Dai Li's remains to carry them. On the other hand, most of the military commanders and spy leaders avoided Dai Li's death, for fear of being contaminated with something unclean. In contrast, Mao Renfeng's loyalty left a deep impression on the middle and lower-level spies.
At that time, there were only three candidates for the post of director of the Military Command Bureau. The first is the second phase of Whampoa, Zheng Jiemin, the senior military commander big brother. The second is Tang Zong, who was deeply favored by Chiang Kai-shek and was seconded to Chiang Kai-shek's chamberlain. Finally, it is the obscure office director secretary Mao Renfeng. In the eyes of outsiders, Mao Renfeng is really the most unlikely person to take over the military command.
In fact, the original director of the Military Command Bureau was indeed not Mao Renfeng. Due to the rapid development of the military command during the Anti-Japanese War, it even encroached on a certain amount of military power and expanded tens of thousands of troops due to special reasons. This made Chiang Kai-shek extremely uneasy and wanted to weaken it. After Dai Li's unexpected death, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't wait to start his plan to "cut the feudal domain". The security functions in the military command were separated and a separate department was set up for management.
Under Chiang Kai-shek's arrangement, Zheng Jiemin was appointed director of the Secrecy Bureau, Tang Zong was appointed director of the Security Bureau, and Mao Renfeng was appointed deputy director of the Secrecy Bureau.
As the director of the Security Bureau, Tang Zong officially competed for the first bureau within the military command. Although Mao Renfeng is said to be the deputy director, most of the middle and lower-level spies follow his orders and act, and actually hold the power of the military command.
But Mao Renfeng, as a "smiling tiger", is not just talking. After the death of Dai Li, the only "big man" who could suppress him in the military commander, Mao Renfeng began to show his means.
Zheng Jiemin, as a veteran of Huangpu, is naturally not comparable to Mao Renfeng. Mao Renfeng knew that he couldn't move Zheng Jiemin, so he could only find a way to let Zheng Jiemin be polled elsewhere. Zheng Jiemin has very few points that can be used to attack, but his wife has a big problem.
Zheng Jiemin's wife Ke Shufang is a money fan, and she has become a trend with the help of her husband's power. Mao Renfeng seized this point, and soon found out that Ke Shufang was smuggling and shielding Wang's puppet traitors to obtain benefits. Mao Renfeng quickly reported these matters to Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek was furious, so he removed Zheng Jiemin from the post of director of secrecy and handed it over to Mao Renfeng. Mao Renfeng officially became the director of the secrecy bureau, and the military commander was his family.
Mao Renfeng is scheming and uses stratagem to seize the power of the director. But after becoming the head of the military command, he actually had a dislike with the "crown prince" Chiang Ching-kuo, and the struggle continued.
After Mao Renfeng successfully became the director of the secret bureau, he showed his true colors as the "king of Hades". As Chiang Kai-shek's butcher's knife, one of the important roles of the "military commander" was to kill the Communists. After Mao Renfeng took over, in order to gain Chiang Kai-shek's trust, he even went on a killing spree. Mao Renfeng's most well-known reactionary act was the ** against the factory party members in the Dregs Cave Prison.
In 1949, the defeat of the Kuomintang was assured, and Chiang Kai-shek hurried to Taiwan. But before leaving, he had not forgotten the Communists he had imprisoned. In order to give a little color to the soon-to-be-victorious Communist Party, he ordered Mao Renfeng to kill the Communist Party members and democrats in prison.
Mao Renfeng immediately ordered the execution of Communist Party members and democrats. In Chongqing's scum cave, Communist Party members led by party member Jiang Zhuyun were concentrated in several cells. The family of the patriotic general General Yang Hucheng was also subjected to spies, and none of the family survived.
Although Mao Renfeng worked so hard, he failed to win Chiang Kai-shek's favor. Although the military commander was reorganized into the Secret Bureau, the security power in his hands was divided by Tang Zong. However, at that time, the Secrecy Bureau was still in charge of important functions in telecommunications and intelligence.
Since Chiang Kai-shek went to Taiwan, Chiang Ching-kuo gradually came to the front of the stage as the "crown prince". When he was on the mainland, Chiang Ching-kuo suffered a setback in Shanghai's "fight against tigers", but it also gave him a great lesson in political struggle. After coming to Taiwan, Chiang Ching-kuo gradually exercised the rights of the intelligence system.
Mao Renfeng finally climbed to the position of director of the secret bureau, and naturally he was unwilling to easily hand over the power in his hands. One wanted it, but the other didn't pay it, which contributed to the dispute between Jiang Mao and the two. Mao Renfeng is usually cunning and cunning, but this time he is on the road. Chiang Ching-kuo's revocation of the rights to the intelligence system was naturally not aimed at him alone.
As a perennial and military commander, it is naturally the top priority of Chiang Ching-kuo's plan. As the family business of the Chen brothers, the Central Union is actually much more reliable than the military commander. However, with Chiang Kai-shek's deliberate help, Chiang Ching-kuo expelled the Chen brothers from the Central Union and completely broke up the Central Union.
Seeing the tragic situation of the Chen brothers, Mao Renfeng not only did not panic, but began to confront Jiang Jingguo head-on. Mao Renfeng observed that the United States was becoming more and more disillusioned with Chiang Kai-shek, and speculated that Chiang Kai-shek would lose power. Therefore, he did not care about the face of Chiang Ching-kuo and Chiang Kai-shek's father and son.
In order to deal with Chiang Ching-kuo's seizure of power, Mao Renfeng used the "Mao Bang Chu Case" to attack the stability of Chiang Kai-shek's father and son's regime. Naturally, Chiang Kai-shek's father and son would not sit idly by and surrender with their hands tied. Chiang Kai-shek reorganized the Kuomintang intelligence system and managed all intelligence departments through the establishment of a security command. By coercing the deputy heads of the intelligence units, the Security Command has had to empty its entire structure. The Kuomintang's previous intelligence system became a useless shell.
In the face of the ruthless tricks of Jiang's father and son, Mao Renfeng was angry, so he made a dangerous move and made a desperate bet. Under Mao's arrangement, Du Changcheng, the military commander, prepared to kidnap Chiang Ching-kuo, and once threatened ** to make concessions. However, Du Changcheng's plot was not secret, and the information was leaked. Chiang Ching-kuo learned of the plan.
With the abortion of the kidnapping plan, Mao Renfeng lost the right to struggle the most. Chiang Ching-kuo quickly arrested Du Changcheng and Hu Lingying on charges of rebellion, and shot them and their subordinates to death. Mao Renfeng lost his subordinates and became a bare-bones commander.
Although since then, Mao Renfeng still serves as the director of the Secret Bureau and the reorganized Intelligence Bureau. However, after the "Du Changcheng case," the cadres in the Secret Bureau had been completely lost, and all the intelligence work was taken over by Chiang Ching-kuo. The Secrecy Service, and later the Intelligence Service, were just shell agencies with no real rights in name.
In 1956, Chiang Kai-shek launched a "mountaineering conference" in Taiwan, inviting many Kuomintang ** to participate. Mao Ren Feng rushed to the appointment. Mao Renfeng, who arrived at the meeting, found that there were many reporters on the scene, and the guests were all there, so it was not lively. But these dignitaries and reporters at the scene turned a blind eye to him and avoided him one after another. Even the seats at the meeting site were not reserved for him. This made Mao Renfeng's heart extremely sad.
After the meeting, Mao Renfeng, who returned home, became ill. In October 1956, Chiang Ching-kuo sent people to bring fruit to Mao Renfeng, who was seriously ill.
Its fruits are one orange and one pear. In Zhejiang dialect, "orange" is read as "juezi", and pears imply the meaning of leaving. Mao Renfeng understood that this was Jiang Jingguo's hint to himself, and he should have passed away. He couldn't help but weep bitterly. He thought that the Kuomintang had devoted himself to many years, but in the end he ended up alone.
On October 14, 1956, Mao Renfeng died of illness, ending his life as a spy.
