A gallows with the cultural relic number "0001" are displayed in the National Museum in China. Many people may not understand what this gallows are used for and why they collect such an item? In fact, this was the torture instrument of Mr. Li Dazhao, the revolutionary pioneer at that time, who was hanged by the enemy.
What kind of tortuous stories are there behind Mr. Li Dazhao’s murder? What kind of punishment was the main culprit?
The death of Li Dazhao
926, the Beiyang government created the tragic March 18th tragedy.
At that time, Japan, Britain and the United States and other countries were based on the terms of the " Xinchou Treaty" signed by the Qing Dynasty and the Eight-Nation Alliance , and required Duan Qirui to remove the military forces along the route of Dagukou . , this move was naturally resisted by aspiring young people.
Under the leadership of the Beijing Communist Organization at that time, Mr. Li Dazhao led more than 5,000 students to conduct demonstrations, demanding that the Duan Qirui government reject the demands of Britain and the United States, and at the same time put forward the slogan of expelling imperialism, but was attacked by Duan Qirui. The government's crazy massacre, and the direct casualties in this incident reached more than 200.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Qirui's government ordered the arrest of about 50 Communist Party members in Beijing, including Li Dazhao. Mr. Li Dazhao did not listen to the persuasion of others to retreat, but insisted on staying in Beijing to develop the spark of the revolution. .
Of course, for safety and work needs, Mr. Li Dazhao moved to the barracks of the Soviet Embassy in Dongjiaominxiang with other comrades who stayed in Beijing to work. But less than a year later, Duan Qirui's government collapsed, and Zhang Zuolin entered the city of Beijing.
Zhang Zuolin's methods are more ruthless than Duan Qirui, and he is even more ruthless to Li Dazhao and others who are developing the Communist Party. Northeast Army arrested Communist Party member Li Bohai. Under the enemy's torture, he explained the positions of many comrades. For this reason, the Northeast Army successfully arrested many Communists and went to prison.
However, Li Dazhao was not among the arrested people, which led to Zhang Zuolin launching a city-wide search again and dispatching more than 500 troops to search the city-wide search. Finally, due to the spy's reports, Mr. Li Dazhao was not spared.
In fact, before being arrested, Li Dazhao was covered by many comrades. He could have escaped by himself, but when he looked at the beaten comrades and his wife and children who were crying constantly, he gave up and ran away.
In prison, Li Dazhao faced the severe torture of the enemy and refused to surrender. However, Zhang Zuolin, who was quick to act, found many Communist Party-related documents that were not destroyed at Mr. Li Dazhao's residence, and loaded a few trucks of . Zhang Zuolin used this as evidence to convict Li Dazhao of death.
In fact, after Li Dazhao was arrested, people from all walks of life actively called for the release of Li Dazhao, which made Zhang Zuolin very embarrassed. The public pressure was also very high, but The April 12 Incident launched by Chiang Kai-shek directly made The bankruptcy of the Kuomintang-Communist cooperation between the Communist Party made Zhang Zuolin determined.
Zhang Zuolin also specially bought a gallows and implemented the "Three-Wand Execution Method" on Mr. Li Dazhao, which means that when a person is on the verge of death, he will take the opportunity to regain his luck after he has some relief. This is repeated twice, and it will be the third time. It is directly hanged. Mr. Li Dazhao was hanged under such cruel punishment at the age of 38.
The reason for Li Dazhao's murder
In fact, the reason for Li Dazhao's murder is not difficult to analyze.
. Zhang Zuolin has been raising the control of the Central and Eastern Railway. Because the Communist Party of China accepted the help from the Communist International of the Soviet Union, the Communist Party of China naturally stood opposite Zhang Zuolin. As the main person in charge of the Communist Party of China in the northern region, Mr. Li Dazhao was naturally regarded as a thorn in his side by Zhang Zuolin.
Zhili warlords and Fengtian warlords have always been in disagreement, but the Zhili warlords are very friendly to the Communist Party.Moreover, under the support of Li Dazhao, the direct warlord Wu Peifu and Sun Yat-sen reached a cooperation to form the "Sun Wu coalition government", which made Zhang Zuolin very afraid.
Li Dazhao transported a large number of weapons to the Zhili warlords through the Beijing-Han Railway controlled by the Communist Party of China. While the Fengtian warlords and the Zhili warlords were fighting, they completely angered Zhang Zuolin.
The conflict between the Soviet Union and Japan continues to deteriorate. Fengtian warlords gained great support from Japan, and the Japanese army gained great benefits in the Northeast, which caused the Soviet Union's interests in the Northeast to be damaged. The tension in Soviet-Japanese relations continued to the relationship between Zhang Zuolin and the Communist Party of China, and Zhang Zuolin was influenced by Japan. The request demands suppression of the Communist Party of China.
The spy involved in the killing of Li Dazhao was arrested
As a pioneer of the murder, our party has not given up on the accountability of the traitors who harmed Li Dazhao.
952, someone reported anonymously to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. The letter stated that a person named " Lei Hengcheng " said that he was a spy and had participated in the killing of Li Dazhao, and that Li Dazhao was the one who led the people to take the initiative. Captured. After the founding of New China, in order to cover up his identity, he transformed into "Zen Master Leming" and walked in Shanghai.
The report letter describes Lei Hengcheng's characteristics. He has a long face, a goatee beard, and a gold watch with a portrait of the late Qing emperor. It also provides Lei Hengcheng's possible movements, hidden on Maris Road Nearby areas. In the search mission of
, Wang Tianjie of the Shanghai Public Security System sent three experienced investigators, repeatedly emphasizing that they should not alert the enemy. He also pointed out that this is a big case caught by the Public Security Bureau Director and should be taken seriously.
After receiving the task, the three of them went to Nanjing Road, which belongs to Maris Road, to check the household registration information, but did not find Lei Hengcheng's content. The three of them changed their thinking again. Through the characteristic description in the letter of complaint, they inquired about the residents near Maris Road and learned that there was a very consistent person named Zhao Zhian, who was called "Zen Master Leming".
The three of them immediately went back to check the household registration information of Zhao Zhian and found that he moved back from Taiwan in 1948. They were afraid of admitting the wrong person, so they decided to meet the previous one and further inquire about the details.
The three of them sent Lu Quan to play the role of a rich man from the countryside and knocked on the door of Zhao Zhian's apartment. When Zhao Zhian's wife heard that she was coming to find Zen Master Leming to tell fortunes, she welcomed him into the door enthusiastically. When Lu Quan saw Zhao Zhian's first face again, he met all the secret thoughts in his heart.
In order to check if there is any statue of the emperor in the gold table, Lu Quan asked Zhao Zhian about the time of the time on the job on the excuse that he wanted to go for an interview. He took a look and found that it was really the same as the letter of report, so he completely settled down.
After he left, he immediately found his other two colleagues. After the three of them decided to arrest Zhao Zhian immediately and searched for a lot of relevant information in his home, which could prove that he served in the Japanese and puppet government.
After being arrested, he gave in. His name is Lei Hengcheng. It is indeed because he learned about Li Dazhao's whereabouts after layers of interrogation, and it is also Li Dazhao who led the Northeast Army to capture him. He also confessed to other facts about the murder of the Chinese Communists, and he was eventually sentenced to death.
Just like that, he ended his sinful life. Before the execution, he asked whether he should not shoot his head. For humanitarian reasons, the state agreed to his request.
