Chiang Kai-shek's stand-in He Yun It is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake Soong Meiling, and what is the fate of the Red Army after the anti-aid
In early December 1934, Chiang Kai-shek inspected his guards at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. At around 10 o'clock in the morning, the host Chen Lifu announced the end of the parade and the soldiers returned to their respective teams.
Chiang Kai-shek stood up and, according to custom, shook hands with the Kuomintang military and political dignitaries who were present on the rostrum one by one. When he was about to leave, his wife Song Meiling walked over from the side, cordially grabbed his wrist, and said with a smile: "Darling, I think the equipment and spirit of the guards are very good, but they are still a little bit behind." ”
Being held by his wife was the most normal act between husband and wife, however, Chiang Kai-shek's body stiffened for a while, his face was flushed, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
When Song Meiling took him by the hand and was about to go to the ** mansion, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly stopped and said embarrassedly: "Madam, I want to go to the toilet." Song Meiling looked at him, only to see him hurriedly walking towards the toilet, and then left quickly.
So, what's going on? Why did Chiang Kai-shek, the Kuomintang, behave so uncomfortably in front of his wife Soong Meiling for many years, and finally take the opportunity to escape?
The truth is that this person is not the real Chiang Kai-shek, and his real identity is the stand-in found by Chiang Kai-shek - He Yun. 1. Regarding the stand-in, the search for the stand-in is for the sake of one's own safety.
As we all know, since the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup in 1927, Chiang Kai-shek has become a thorn in the side of many people. His perverse practice of wantonly suppressing the revolutionary masses and engaging in the "purging of the party" has aroused the anger of the broad masses of the people, who have opposed his rule.
Within the KMT, the situation was not always uniform. Chiang Kai-shek, as the sole ruler of power, has always had contradictions between the ** he represents and the factions in various places.
Political opponents were spying on him, keeping him on his toes. "Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend", this is the truth that he deeply feels. He had been assassinated many times, and although he was able to save the day each time, he was overwhelmed by the tense situation year after year.
In the winter of 1934, the Long March of the Chinese Communist Red Army reached Guizhou. Chiang Kai-shek hated both the Communists and the local warlords, and he planned to personally supervise the war in the name of "suppressing bandits", so that the Red Army and the local warlords would fight to the death, and he himself could sit back and enjoy the results and bring the southwest region under the control of **, so as to strengthen his own power.
Although he planned well, it was impossible for the local warlords to be unaware of his intentions. If Chiang Kai-shek did come to the southwest in person, then he would face assassination from all sides.
Chen Lifu saw Chiang Kai-shek's concerns, so he suggested finding someone to replace him in order to avoid these hidden arrows. Chiang Kai-shek, after careful consideration, agreed to Chen Lifu's proposal.
So Chen Lifu began to look for a suitable candidate.
An excellent ** stand-in needs to have three qualities: first, absolute loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek; secondly, it is extremely similar to Chiang Kai-shek's appearance; Finally, it is necessary to have a flexible mind and spy skills.
Although Chen Lifu searched for suitable candidates across the country, in the end, the few people who were recommended were not satisfactory to Chiang Kai-shek. This deeply troubled Chen Lifu. In the end, Chiang Kai-shek himself remembered a man whom he thought might be a good choice.
This person is his brother in Shanghai in his early years, and He Yun, who is currently the director of the public security bureau in Hangzhou.
He Yun, whose name is Yulong, is Chiang Kai-shek's hometown, born in 1880, 7 years older than Chiang Kai-shek. When he was a soldier in the Green Battalion in Shanghai, he saw that Wu Chang was unfair to small vendors and started beating people, so he argued with Wu Chang.
This scene happened to be seen by Chiang Kai-shek, a big man passing by. He Yun spoke of faith and righteousness, and he looked like Chiang, so Chiang thought that he was a usable talent, worshipped him as a brother, and introduced him into the alliance.
In the revolutionary party, He Yun first served as a second-class instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy founded by Sun Yat-sen, and later followed Chiang Kai-shek to fight everywhere. During this period, his exploits are unspeakable, but it is certain that his hard work cannot be ignored.
Chiang Kai-shek rose through the ranks of the National Security Bureau in 1934 to Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province. In November of the same year, Chen Lifu found He Yun, who was admiring the antique Tang Sancai in his bedroom, hoping that he could go to work, and transferred from Nanjing, Chen Lifu said that he had something important to hand over to him.
He Yun was invited to take up a post, and he gladly accepted. The next day, he left home in a snow car and headed for Nanjing. There, he met Chen Lifu. Chen Lifu looked at He Yun carefully and laughed.
He exclaimed: "When I looked at the archives, I felt that you were very similar to Chairman Jiang, and now that I see you, you and Chairman Jiang can be confused with the real in terms of appearance and figure." ”
He Yun was a little surprised when he heard this. Chen Lifu directly told him that he came to him to take on a very important task. Recently, Jiangxi's ** has arrived in Guizhou, but the warlords in Guizhou have not done a good enough job in suppressing bandits, so the chairman of the committee decided to personally supervise the war.
In order to ensure the safety of the chairman, a stand-in must be found. There was no suitable candidate to find a suitable candidate, and the chairman of the committee remembered He Yun......So He Yun should have understood his purpose.
He Yun was full of doubts, stand-in? Isn't that the embodiment of the dead? He thought that he would get the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune when he was transferred to **, but he didn't expect to receive such a task.
He hesitated to shirk it, but seeing Chen Lifu's thoughtful eyes, He Yun immediately realized that he had no choice in this matter. In desperation, he could only agree.
So, from that day on, He Yun appeared as Chiang Kai-shek's personal bodyguard. He was forced to swear eternal allegiance to Chiang Kai-shek, and then underwent secrecy training from Chen Lifu.
Chen Lifu strictly demanded that whenever Chiang Kai-shek was working, He Yun must follow closely, carefully observe his every movement, expression, and even his eyes, and remember it deeply in his mind.
After work, He Yun would enter a secret room, where he would complete all the activities of life, including eating, sleeping, and excreting, while also imitating Chiang Kai-shek's behavior and habits, recalling everything he observed during the day like watching a movie.
Not only that, Chen Lifu also strictly stipulated that He Yun could not talk to people, visit the door, or go out without permission in the ** mansion, his pistol must be bolted, and the saber cannot be bladed.
In terms of life, He Yun must strictly abide by the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, spend at least two hours a day practicing imitating the "** font", and at the same time do not allow smoking and drinking, everything must be closer to the "four empty".
After a month of high-intensity training, He Yunchu had mastered the essence of Chiang Kai-shek in terms of demeanor and movements, and it was difficult for even the most professional Chiang Kai-shek guards to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.
Chen Lifu is very satisfied with He Yun's rapid progress. In early December 1934, after discussions with Chiang Kai-shek, they decided to let him take the stage instead of Chiang Kai-shek at the military parade to see how it would work.
3. It is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehoodIn early December 1934, Chiang Kai-shek decided to inspect his guards at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, but he himself did not attend, but asked He Yun to appear in his place.
Before the parade began, Chen Lifu arranged for his attendants to change He Yun into a special general's uniform, wearing a large number of medals and medals on his chest, and wearing a black coat.
Chiang Kai-shek personally led him to the mirror, and He Yun cautiously looked into the mirror, only to see the two standing side by side, dressed like a pair of twins.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded again and again: "Like, really like." When he officially took the stage, Chen Lifu took He Yun's hand again and solemnly told him: "There must be no mistakes in this matter, otherwise you know what the consequences will be." ”
He Yun oozed sweat on his forehead, hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then walked up to the rostrum with heavier steps than usual, he was dressed in military uniform, and sat upright among a group of military and political dignitaries in the party.
Then, with the performance of ceremonial music, the guards marched to the rostrum step by step with loud voices. He Yun cheered up his spirit, and he had never felt that time had been so long.
In order not to attract the attention of others, he can only try to remain silent, always keep a straight face, and maintain a serious attitude. It was only when the guards saluted him as they passed by the rostrum and shouted "Hello Chairman" that he solemnly waved his hand and responded with a "Hello brothers."
After the parade, He Yun did not make any remarks. Chen Lifu arranged for the guards to return to the team, and He Yun, as Chiang Kai-shek, shook hands with the military and political dignitaries according to the usual practice.
No one noticed the abnormality, and He Yun breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he was about to leave, Song Meiling suddenly appeared, grabbed him, and even invited him to take a special car to ** Mansion together.
1.At the parade, He Yun's performance made Chiang Kai-shek so satisfied that even Soong Meiling was bewildered by his clever disguise. So, Chiang Kai-shek decided to put He Yun to a greater use.
2.At the end of December 1934, Chiang Kai-shek personally went to the southwest and took the American-style Washington plane to Chongqing Guangyangba Airport. Liu Xiang, a local military and political official, and others were already waiting at the airport in advance to greet him.
3.He Yun's performance at the parade was impressive, and even Song Meiling was confused by his disguise. Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with this and decided to put He Yun to a greater use.
After Chiang Kai-shek landed, he smiled and shook hands with everyone, and the scene was full of enthusiasm. However, no one noticed that the real Chiang Kai-shek had already quietly entered the city in a black car and rushed to a certain hotel.
Staying at the airport and shaking hands with everyone cordially, "** is just an "impostor" pretended by He Yun. During his stay in Chongqing, the real Chiang Kai-shek and He Yun alternated, during the day, the real Chiang Kai-shek and Liu Xiang discussed military and political plans, and at night went to the hotel prepared by Chen Lifu, and He Yun took his place in the official residence.
The purpose of this arrangement was to prevent the assassination at night, and even if it happened, it would not be the real Chiang Kai-shek. Their cooperation was almost seamless, and even Liu Xiang didn't notice it.
However, even a wise man must have a mistake, and Chiang Kai-shek's stand-in technique was discovered by Liu Xiang by accident soon after.
Liu Xiang wanted to discuss something with Chiang Kai-shek, but because the written report delayed the printing time of the document, he had to change the plan temporarily. It was only at eight o'clock in the evening that he had time to personally deliver the documents to the chairman.
When he came to Chiang Kai-shek's residence and opened the door, he found something surprising: the chairman was actually copying documents for He Guoguang, a staff officer of the Military Commission. This made Liu Xiang very puzzled, and combined with the changes he had recently observed between Chiang Kai-shek's day and night, as well as rumors of a stand-in that he had heard for a long time, he began to have doubts about this matter.
Therefore, he planned to test it and ask the chairman for advice on a detailed matter in the "Outline for Combating Rebellion." As a result, this so-called chairman of the committee, that is, He Yun's stand-in, answered this question very vaguely, and even blushed in a hurry, knowing nothing about this question.
This made Liu Xiang even more convinced that the person in front of him was the legendary ** stand-in. He snorted coldly, didn't speak again, and left with a blank face. The next day, Liu Xiang met with staff officer He Guoguang and the real Chiang Kai-shek not far away.
He recalled last night's incident and was furious in his heart, so he deliberately said in a mocking tone: "General He is really amazing, even the chairman of the committee has to help copy the report, which is really great."
Unlike me, no matter how big the King of Sichuan is, he uses nobodies to copy documents. I've always respected the president, and I wonder when the president will be able to copy a battle plan for me? ”
After He Guoguang heard this, his face became gloomy, and he looked at Chiang Kai-shek, who didn't seem to hear these words not far away, and knew what Liu Xiang was talking about. He wanted to say something, but in the end he could only be silent and dumb and eat coptis.
Fifth, He Yun issued military orders without authorization and sent a message to help the Red Army, which made Chiang Kai-shek furious. The incident happened in April 1935, when the Red Army was unstoppable, and the Kuomintang army was repeatedly defeated.
Chiang Kai-shek personally went to Kunming to pacify his army, leaving He Yun to handle daily affairs in Guiyang. However, on this night, He Yun was about to rest when he suddenly heard a quarrel outside the door.
It turned out that the commander of the Wujiang River Defense, Wang Jia, was in a hurry to meet Chiang Kai-shek, but was stopped by the guards and clashed with He Yun. This sudden incident completely broke Chiang Kai-shek's bottom line and made him unbearable.
Before leaving office, Chiang Kai-shek had instructed He Yun to be flexible in the face of emergencies. At this moment, Wang Jialie urgently asked for help, and He Yun decisively ordered in the house: "Let him come in." ”
The guards immediately let him go, and Wang Jialie entered Chiang Kai-shek's bedroom with a nervous expression. As soon as they met, He Yun asked solemnly: "What's so urgent that you want to break into my bedroom directly?" ”
Wang Jialie suddenly became nervous, and said with trembling legs: "Chairman, the army of the Red Army has reached the front line of the Wujiang River, and they have eliminated one of our regiments.
According to reliable intelligence, the Red Army also appeared on the banks of the Wujiang River, and they would definitely cross the Wujiang River. Those soldiers of mine could not withstand the attack of the Red Army, and I beg you to order reinforcements.
Otherwise, if the Red Army crosses the river and joins Zhang Guotao and **, it will be a disaster. ”
He Yun was shocked in his heart, this matter was indeed urgent, but as a stand-in for the chairman of the committee, he had no decision-making power and military experience. He decided to let Wang Jialie go down first, think for a moment for himself, and take advantage of the confidential telegram to Chiang Kai-shek to ask for instructions.
However, Wang Jialie insisted on expressing his position immediately, and He Yun felt very embarrassed. He remembered that the chairman of the committee had said, "Whoever lets the Red Army cross the Wujiang River one by one, I will ask for his head!" ”
If he did not agree to the request for additional troops, causing the Red Army to really cross the defensive line, then the blame would fall on him and have a serious impact on the major affairs of the party and the state. Therefore, He Yun decided to stick to Wujiang, he sighed and called Xue Yue, and ordered to send a reorganized division to reinforce the Wujiang front, and the vanguard must set off before 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, and at the same time transfer two divisions to make preparations and listen to the order to reinforce at any time.
1.At the sound of the order, Wang Jialie was ecstatic. The deployment of Xue Yue's army just opened up a way for the besieged Red Army to survive, allowing them to cross the Jinsha River smoothly, get rid of the blockade of Chiang Kai-shek's army, and gain vitality.
6. He Yun's unintentional actions helped the Red Army, which greatly dissatisfied Chiang Kai-shek. At the same time, it was also a taboo in his heart to give orders without authorization, and in anger, he sent someone to arrest He Yun, put him in a prison cell, and ordered the immediate execution of the death penalty.
Seeing that He Yun was about to encounter an accident, fortunately, Xue Yue's army under his false order did not run in vain, and they recovered Zunyi City, which had been completely evacuated and empty by the Red Army, without a single shot on the way, and achieved the so-called "Zunyi Victory".
Although the results were not entirely satisfactory, Chiang Kai-shek remembered the old feelings, and after a few days his anger dissipated, sparing He Yun and freeing him from prison. 2.When Wang Jialie heard the order, he immediately smiled.
However, the deployment of Xue Yue's army just opened a way out for the besieged Red Army, allowing them to cross the Jinsha River smoothly, get rid of the blockade of Chiang Kai-shek's army, and gain vitality.
6. He Yun's unintentional actions helped the Red Army and made Chiang Kai-shek very dissatisfied. At the same time, he was jealous of giving orders without authorization. Enraged, he sent people to arrest He Yun, put him in a cell, and ordered his immediate execution.
Seeing that He Yun was about to encounter misfortune, fortunately, Xue Yue's army under his false order did not run in vain, and they regained Zunyi City, which had been completely evacuated and empty by the Red Army, without a single shot on the way, and achieved the so-called "Zunyi Victory".
Although the results were not entirely satisfactory, Chiang Kai-shek remembered the old feelings, and after a few days his anger dissipated, sparing He Yun and freeing him from prison.
He Yun experienced a test of life and death, and deeply realized the true meaning of "accompanying the king as accompanying the tiger", and he retreated. However, Chiang Kai-shek's trust in him was not as good as before, and he looked too similar to Chiang Kai-shek, which troubled Soong Meiling, who expressed her dislike for He Yun to Chiang Kai-shek several times.
As a result, He Yun gradually faded out of Chiang Kai-shek's field of vision. He had offered Chiang Kai-shek his resignation, and although it was not approved, his stand-in status had already existed in name only. After that, he followed Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing, and Chen Lifu gave him the rank of major general according to Chiang Kai-shek's instructions and placed him under house arrest in Tangshan.
In order to live with a high salary, He Yun must recuperate in a Tangshan villa and strictly abide by two rules: no going out and revealing that he once worked as a stand-in. This life lasted until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, when he returned to his hometown in Hangzhou to live in seclusion.
However, he was dissatisfied with this, and wrote several letters to Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Lifu asking for the restoration of public office, but there was no reply. This made him depressed and his health deteriorated.
In 1947, at the age of 61, he died of illness in Jiande County, Hangzhou, and it is said that before his death, he sighed: "I was the chairman of the committee, but the chairman did not recognize me." ”
