Chiang Kai-shek was furious and shouted loudly: "Mother Xipi, what a Hu Yimin, you used the Communist Party as your secretary and leaked information about the suppression of the Communist Party. You are a Communist spy!"

To understand Hu Jibang's "true face", we must start with a secret case that occurred in Chiang Kai-shek Nanjing Supreme Command in 1933.

Hu Jibang

In the golden autumn of this year, Chiang Kai-shek, who was in charge of Nanchang to deploy the suppression of the Communist Party, summoned Hu Yimin, a veteran alliance member and central prison warden , to the camp with a warrant. As soon as they met, he ordered "Take it down!" Chiang Kai-shek Anger rose from the pit of his heart, and he shouted loudly: "Mother Xipi, what a good Hu Yimin, you used the Communist Party as your secretary and leaked information about the suppression of the Communist Party. You are a Communist spy!"

Hu Yi, a veteran of the Republic of China, how can he be a Communist spy? However, he did use Lu Huhan, a fellow Communist from Yongkang, as his secretary, but he, including himself, could not access the core secrets of the Supreme Command . However, what Chiang Kai-shek said about leaking information about the suppression of the Communist Party was true.

html In 17 months, Chiang Kai-shek invited Hans von Seeckt, the military advisor sent by Hitler , to Lushan, convened his most trusted senior generals, held a top-secret military meeting, and formulated the fifth encirclement and suppression action plan. . Who would have thought that the Communist Party's "Red News" in Ruijin, Jiangxi Province, would reveal all the party-state's high-level military secrets at the end of September, including when they would take action, who the commander-in-chiefs of each group were, and even the "flat land, mountain or land" carefully designed by the German consultants. The fortress policy of "suitable for all cities", the important strategic tactics of "camping step by step, building roads step by step, dividing areas for encirclement and suppression, and advancing and attacking jointly", and even the "Measures for Blocking Bandit Areas" and "Bandit Area Salt, Kerosene, Medicinal Materials, and Electrical Appliances" in conjunction with the encirclement and suppression. "Blocking Measures" and other 13 bans are also clearly understood. Even Hu Yimin was secretly asking: Who is this Communist spy?

Hu Jibang

Of course Hu Yimin is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Chiang Kai-shek can't catch him, so he can only ask "there is a reason for the incident, but there is no solid evidence". As a result, the official was restored to his original position. When he got out of Beiyingfang Prison and went to Shanghai to find Lu Xun with Fang Zhimin's posthumous manuscripts, the image of a girl from his hometown became more and more clear in his mind: Could it be her? It wasn't until 15 years later, in early 1949, that he met Lu Xun by chance in Hong Kong. Hu Jishi, a fellow countryman and the then Major General Budget Director of the Ordnance Administration of the Nationalist Government, talked about how he lobbied his younger sister Hu Jibang, who was working as a secretary in the Soviet Embassy, ​​to report to Taiwan. The younger sister showed him her cards: I am a Communist Party! Hu Yimin! Then he remembered that although he had nothing to do with the leakage of secrets of the Supreme Command, it did have something to do with it.

It was 1931, when Nanjing college students launched a large demonstration by students from the north and the south, and the "Pearl Bridge Incident" occurred. At this time, Hu Jibang, who was in his third year at Central University, was already a member of the Anti-Imperialist Alliance and one of the 13 nursing school committee members of CUHK. One person. More than a hundred students were arrested that day, and Nanjing Prison was overcrowded. As the warden of the central prison, Hu Yimin was worrying about this in the mansion. Suddenly it was reported that someone from my hometown was visiting.

"Uncle Ho!" The visitor was a young girl, wearing a Yindan Shilin cheongsam and speaking the authentic Yongkang dialect. She called him as affectionately as a relative.

"Okay, okay, it's great to meet an old friend in a foreign land!"

"I am Hu Jibang, a college student of CUHK. Oh, by the way, Uncle Hu probably recognizes my fourth brother! Ji Shi from the Ordnance Industry Department; my third brother is Jichuan, the deputy consul of Wonsan, North Korea, was released just a few days ago!"

"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Hu. Your brothers are both young and promising. We are from the same hometown and have the same clan. You are from Shanxi and I am from Shanxi. This is a foreign land. We are so happy to meet each other in a foreign country. We are really not close to the people in our hometown! Could it be that Miss Hu has learned something from her visit today?"

Hu Jibang spoke quickly and told the whole story of his visit to the elders from his hometown:

On December 17, Nanjing college students surrounded The Kuomintang Central Party Headquarters smashed the blue sky and white sun glass emblem at the entrance of the department and attacked the "Central Daily News". Several of her close classmates at Sun Yat-sen University were also arrested, and she asked Mr. Hu to be merciful and free them from rescue.Hu Yimin was a man of great loyalty, and could not stop Miss Hu from pleading again and again. After checking the newly arrested student case files, it turned out that they were just some young people who were reckless and sold off a favor from a fellow villager without any real evidence of red hats. Bi Yijun was released on "guarantee and admonition", and Hu Jibang became a frequent visitor to Hu's mansion from then on.

Many days later, Miss Hu came again, saying that she had also been fired, and asked Mr. Hu to find a way out for her in life. It just so happened that General Yu Dawei and Hu Yimin of the headquarters were looking for a tutor to teach English to his only son. He sent her to the general's mansion. No one knew at that time and place that this was the underground party. In order to understand the contents of the Lushan secret meeting held by Chiang Kai-shek, the Special Branch chaired by Li Kenong was ordered to take a risky move. Use Hu Jibang, the red seed waiting to sprout, to obtain this top-secret information.

On this day, the three-star general Yu Dawei was thinking carefully about Lushan Ding's encirclement and suppression plan when he was suddenly summoned by Chiang Kai-shek. The general regarded this beautiful, smart, obedient and responsible tutor as a confidant. Before leaving, he told Hu Jibang to guard the mansion, check the study, and never let others enter, and then hurried to the presidential palace . She and her student son were the only two people left in Nuo University's mansion.

Hu Jibang

Hu Jibang assigned homework to the young master, so she went into the house openly and used her shorthand expertise to obtain all the top-secret information. That night she sent the materials to "Zhengyuan Industrial Co., Ltd." at No. 305 Central Road and handed them over to Li Kenong.

Hu Jibang was a general who taught his children well and was highly favored. Soon, with the recommendation of many people and the persuasion of her third brother Hu Jichuan, who was the counselor of North Korea, she officially entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government chaired by Huang Yingbai , and later arrived in Moscow as the press attaché of the National Government Embassy in the Soviet Union. , is the first female diplomat China has ever sent abroad. Who would have thought that it would be 13 long years after this! Undoubtedly, this was the most brilliant chapter in Hu Jibang's life and the beginning of more than half a century of diplomatic career.
