In 1947, the Nanjing High Court tried the traitor Yin Rugeng again. When the judge announced that Yin Rugeng would be brought to court, everyone rubbed their eyes unconsciously. An old man in a silk robe, with an elegant, calm, and even somewhat elegant demeanor, was escorted away by the bailiff. Come here.
They couldn't believe that the person in front of them turned out to be the "old traitor" Yin Rugeng, who completely subverted their image of a traitor with a deer's head and a mouse eye and an obscene appearance.
In fact, Yin Rugeng's words and deeds have a lot to do with his family. Yin Rugeng was born in a prestigious family in Yuyao, Zhejiang. His father served as the prefect of Hubei in the late Qing Dynasty. After his father's early death, Yin Rugeng, under the guidance of his elder brother, not only successfully completed his studies, but also got the opportunity to study in Japan at public expense.
At that time, the Chinese bourgeois revolutionaries gathered in Japan. Under the influence of democratic ideas, Yin Rugeng also joined the League and began to participate in revolutionary activities. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, Yin Rugeng returned to China to support the revolution. After the failure of the Second Revolution, Yin Rugeng studied in Japan again.
After Yin Rugeng returned to Japan, he did not focus on his studies. Instead, he made friends and built relationships everywhere. Not only did he get acquainted with many Japanese ronins and spies, but he also married a Japanese woman and called himself "Koji Inoue".
Yin Rugeng is fluent in Japanese, and after returning to China, he has worked in various Japanese-related jobs. In 1925, Guo Songling's rebellion failed. Yin Rugeng, who served as Guo Jun's foreign affairs chief, hid in the Japanese consulate and fled to Japan with the help of the Japanese.
This escape experience greatly increased Yin Rugeng's favorability towards Japan.
After the National Revolutionary Army captured Nanchang in 1926, Yin Rugeng arrived in Nanchang under the protection of the Japanese, took refuge with Chiang Kai-shek, and became Chiang Kai-shek's Japanese translator. When the "Songhu Armistice Agreement" and the "Tanggu Agreement" were signed, Yin Rugeng always participated in them and flattered Japan.
In 1935, Japan tried to expand its influence in the region. After many failed attempts to woo Song Zheyuan, the Japanese turned their attention to Yin Rugeng. With the support of Duo Feiyuan, Yin Rugeng announced the establishment of an autonomous committee, which caused an uproar across the country, accusing Yin Rugeng of seeking glory.
Originally, this matter was approved by Chiang Kai-shek, and he also wrote a letter to Yin Rugeng. As a result, Yin Rugeng faced everyone's accusations and held a press conference, saying that he "supported the holy decree and endured humiliation", pointing the finger at Chiang Kai-shek.
When Chiang Kai-shek heard about this, he complained, and immediately found Dai Li, and asked him to send someone to Yin Rugeng to retrieve his handwritten letter, so as not to be accused of seeking glory. After careful consideration, Dai Li decided to set up a "beauty plan" and find a way to send the female military commander Xiang Yingxin to find Yin Rugeng and get back Chiang Kai-shek's "power of attorney".
The good-looking Xiang Yingxin quickly captured Yin Rugeng's heart and became Yin Rugeng's "personal secretary". When it was discovered that Chiang Kai-shek's handwritten letter had been kept by Yin Rugeng in a foreign bank, Xiang Yingxin felt powerless and had to report it to Dai Li.
Unable to get the letter for a while, Dai Li simply ordered Xiang Yingxin to kill Yin Rugeng, and then retreated to Nanjing.
Xiang Yingxin has never done an assassination operation, so he can't help but be a little nervous. At first, Xiang Yingxin planned to shoot Yin Rugeng in the head while he was asleep. As a result, when she quietly checked the pistol, she was discovered by Yin Rugeng's orderlies.
The orderly knew that Yin Rugeng didn't know how to use a gun, so he resolutely did not bring a gun into the house. He questioned Xiang Yingxin on the spot. Xiang Xinjian couldn't hide it and shot and killed the orderly. After hastily hiding the body, he quickly threw away the pistol to avoid being discovered.
After a while, Yin Rugeng thought that the orderly soldiers had escaped without permission and became angry. Xiang Yingxin protected himself and began to consider other assassination methods, and decided to start with Yin Rugeng's diet.
After figuring out Yin Rugeng's eating habits, Xiang Yingxin took advantage of Yin Rugeng's soup to quickly poison him, and then left Yin Rugeng's mansion and returned to Dai Li's side.
Dai Li immediately sent someone to Yin Rugeng's mansion to inquire about the news, but found that Yin Rugeng had not been poisoned and died. It turned out that before Yin Rugeng drank the medicine, he would ask the cook to test him for poison. As a result, the chef became a scapegoat, and the identity of the welcome was completely exposed.
In July 1937, Yin Rugeng's security captain was no longer willing to serve the Japanese and led an uprising in Tongzhou to arrest Yin Rugeng. After the uprising, the Japanese army bombed Tongzhou. The rebel army moved after joining forces with the 29th Army in Beiping.
As a result, during the transfer, the soldiers who escorted Yin Rugeng scattered. Yin Rugeng took the opportunity to escape and was protected by the Japanese.
This time, Yin Rugeng was not treated politely as soon as he arrived in Japan, and was put in prison just because some Japanese were killed in the uprising. Many people in Japan advocated the execution of Yin Rugeng, but considering Yin Rugeng's long-standing pro-Japanese attitude, Japan finally released him and asked him not to interfere in political activities.
Yin Rugeng has always wanted to make achievements in politics. Now that there is nothing to do at home, it is really unbearable for Yin Rugeng. But after Yin Rugeng, there were more traitors supported by Japan. "Old traitor" Yin Rugeng has long lost his former status.
In order to return to **, Yin Rugeng learned about Japan's plan to invade and occupy South China from Japanese military and political friends. Considering that Japan's strategy must solve the transportation problem, Yin Rugeng began to study water conservancy projects behind closed doors, hoping to grab the credit of the Japanese and regain their "appreciation".
After living in seclusion for five years, Yin Rugeng finally waited for the opportunity to "go out of the mountain". At the invitation of the puppet North China Political Commissar members, Yin Rugeng resumed his treason and defection to the enemy. Later, at the invitation of Wang Jingwei, he served as a special member of the puppet State Economic Committee.
Soon, Yin Rugeng went to Japan in the name of celebrating a friend's birthday, and sold the research results of the past five years to Japan**, and received support from Japan. At the behest of the Japanese, Wang Puppet ** established the Puppet Canal Management Preparatory Office, with Yin Rugeng as the director.
However, Yin Rugeng did not realize that there were many factions within Wang Puppet, and it was impossible for him to realize his "political ambitions" alone. Therefore, when Yin Rugeng proposed a plan to control the canal, it was immediately opposed by everyone. They didn't want Yin Rugeng's family to be dominant, so they only let him be responsible for managing the project.
Yin Rugeng thought that Wang perjury** gave him too little power, so he resigned angrily and returned to Beiping, and his "hard work" of several years of study was in vain.
Yin Rugeng's ** behavior can be said to be well known to the whole country, so after Japan surrendered in 1945, Yin Rugeng immediately **. In order to show their determination to severely punish the traitors, the people decided to escort the "old traitor" Yin Rugeng from Beiping to Nanjing for trial.
After Yin Rugeng was sentenced to death, Yin Rugeng applied for review several times, all of which were rejected; Subsequently, he wrote directly to Chiang Kai-shek, asking him to pardon him for his "contribution to the prevention of communism", but Chiang Kai-shek did not reply. 。
On the day of Yin Rugeng's execution, many Nanjing citizens rushed to watch. In order to maintain order at the scene, the bailiffs had to stop everyone outside the cordon. At this time, Yin Rugeng no longer has the humility and politeness of a few months ago. His hair was gray, and he was dressed in a gray cloth robe.
When the president announced the execution of the verdict, Yin Rugeng began to quibble loudly, claiming that he was a traitor with the permission of the people. He tried to break free from the bailiffs, trying to come up with evidence sewn on his clothes to prove that he had Chiang Kai-shek's "letter of appointment".
But how could the President give him the opportunity to present evidence? He shouted loudly to stop Yin Rugeng's behavior and ordered the bailiffs to take him away as soon as possible. On the way to the execution ground, onlookers kept shouting, cursing, and even coming forward. The firing squad was repeatedly blocked, and finally the gendarmes had to be dispatched to open the passage.
After Yin Rugeng was escorted to the execution ground, he continued to shout, asking the bailiff to "chant the Buddha several times". The bailiff refused to comment, Yin Rugeng began to recite the "Diamond Sutra", and then began to shout loudly that he had no rebellion, and his heart was still towards the country.
But the bailiff ignored Yin Rugeng's crazy behavior and fired two shots before he could gain a foothold, completely ending the life of this "old traitor".
