One day in September 1940, on the way Chairman Mao received distinguished guests to have a meal, was assassinated, but Chairman Mao was not hurt at all.
, and this is all thanks to the guard at that time - Jiang Zemin.
Jiang Zemin began to stay with Chairman Mao as a guard at that time in February 1939. Chairman Mao and Jiang Zemin met for the first time, and they liked this young man very much.
Jiang Zemin was also very loyal and brave, and did not disappoint Chairman Mao. Not long after he served as a guard, he was hit by Chairman Mao and was seriously injured.
Who was the assassination that day, and was the murderer finally arrested? What kind of story does Jiang Zemin have in his life?
The rest of the hero
On August 29, 1949, the Communist Party and the Kuomintang started the Chongqing negotiations . At that time, Jiang Zemin served as a guard next to Chairman Mao.
At that time, the Kuomintang government invited Chairman Mao to go to Chongqing in person. This negotiation was not just a simple dialogue, but obviously a Hongmen banquet.
Chiang Kai-shek small abacus is known to everyone. He naturally had no good intentions for Chairman Mao's invitation, and there might be any danger.
Chairman Mao’s banquet this time was undoubtedly “knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain, he was inclined to go to the tiger mountain.”
At that time, Jiang Zemin was arranged by Chairman Mao to Premier Zhou, and they happened to be in Chongqing. Therefore, the security issue was left to Jiang Zemin without hesitation.
Jiang Zemin did a very good job. After spending more than a month in Chongqing, Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and other relevant personnel have not encountered any danger. can be said to have done everything very well.
After the Chongqing negotiations ended, the central government was preparing to let all Northeast cadres return to their hometown bases to work. Jiang Zemin was born in Heishan County, Liaoning Province and is also from Northeast China, so he also applied to the central government.
Chairman Mao was reluctant to approve Jiang Zemin's application to return to his hometown for a while. he still liked this guard who had been by his side for many years.
However, in the face of Jiang Zemin's sincere request, after thinking about it, Chairman Mao still agreed to let Jiang Zemin go. In this way, he returned to the Northeast for revolutionary work.
In November 1945, Jiang Zemin returned to the Northeast and began his work in the army.
He established China's first tank unit at that time, and this tank unit made outstanding contributions in the war to liberate the Northeast.
The batch of tanks were not built independently by our country, but tanks left by Japan. They were very advanced weapons for China at that time.
But there is one thing that is, these tanks have problems and need to be repaired before they can continue to be used.
After all, it is impossible to take away something like a tank, and Japan doesn't want to leave it to China. It is because it has no way to destroy it. Although
things are very good, repair is a big problem.
Jiang Zemin took him seven days to repair the first tank. people were also very happy. After repairing the first one, the speed behind them naturally became faster and faster.
Everyone believes that this tank force will surely shine on the battlefield.
History has also proved that these dozens of tanks have been inseparable from the great wars to liberate the north and south.
Although Jiang Zemin left Chairman Mao, he still did not stop and rest. In April 1946, he participated in the war to liberate the Northeast and was still on the front line for the revolutionary cause.
He has served as director in tumen and Jiaohe Office, and has also served as the leader of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army .
Jiang Zemin made great contributions to the Northeast coalition, especially after the end of the war to liberate Northeast, he escorted Mao Zedong to Beijing again.
During the period when he stayed with Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao was also very happy about his reunion with Jiang Zemin.
It’s a pity that the central government needed Jiang Zemin to continue to do some work. After leaving Chairman Mao, he had been working hard on all battlefields across the country.
From 1950 to 1953, Jiang Zemin participated in the War Against France and the War Against the United States. It can be said that he has made outstanding achievements and has left a great reputation on the international battlefield.
After the victory of the war abroad, Jiang Zemin returned to his hometown again and did some government affairs in Shenyang. The world was peaceful and there was no need to shed blood and sacrifice.
Jiang Zemin successively served as ministers of the former Shenyang Military Region Logistics Department and served as consultant in the General Office of the Army's Loss Department. officially retired in January 1988.
After retirement, he also wrote a story about being with Chairman Mao, recording it into a book, leaving valuable historical materials for the Communist Party.
In these materials, the story of Chairman Mao being assassinated was recorded.
The hidden dinner of the crisis
In mid-September, in Shaanxi, the weather was much more comfortable. Today's Yan'an is very lively, surrounded by many people outside a canteen.
The news reached Jiang Zemin's ears. At that time, he was carrying out the work of protecting Chairman Mao's safety and was a personal guard.
At this time, Jiang Zemin asked the relevant staff: "Why did these people suddenly come to the canteen?" The relevant staff of
replied: "I don't know who leaked the news, saying that a big leader was going to have dinner here, and the people were going to come and have a look."
Jiang Zemin learned that he naturally could not drive the people away. He knew Chairman Mao’s temper. If he rashly drove the person, Chairman Mao would be very angry and would also arouse dissatisfaction and discussion among the people.
For this, he could only choose to be careful and raise all his energy.
Under normal circumstances, Chairman Mao did not need to accompany him in person, but the distinguished guests that day were extraordinary. He was a deputy commissioner of the Kuomintang in Suide area of Shaanxi Province.
Because of his special identity, Chairman Mao decided to accompany him in person.
The revolutionary situation at that time was still very difficult. The strategic goal of the Communist Party and the Kuomintang to unify the anti-Japanese war was on the verge of division at any time.
At that time, there was a man named He Shaonan, who was a specialist in Suide area of Shaanxi Province. He can be said to be the main person who contacted the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
But this commissioner is a person who is very opposed to communism. However, it was the general trend to join forces with the Communist Party at that time, and He Shaonan still had to do some face-saving projects.
In fact, this person was not willing to contribute to the strategic goal of unifying the anti-Japanese war, but was secretly assassinating and cracking down on grassroots organizations in the Communist Party.
This made the CCP’s popularity bad. Someone once wanted to kill He Shaonan, who specialized in creating friction incidents.
However, the cooperative relationship between the Communist Party and the Kuomintang itself is shaky. If you rashly kill the commissioner, it will cause great unrest.
So Chairman Mao wrote a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, his words were very fierce and demanded that the Kuomintang severely punish this frictional element.
Although Chiang Kai-shek was not satisfied, due to changes in the domestic situation, he could only transfer He Shaonan to another place first.
As soon as He Shaonan left, the revolutionary situation in the Suide region became a little confusing. If the sent people still create friction, it will only make the situation worse.
At this time, another deputy commissioner came to Yan'an. He was originally He Shaonan's deputy, but this person was a very active anti-Japanese element and strongly agreed with the strategy of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the Communist Party.
At first, he did not intend to meet Chairman Mao. When he arrived in Yan'an, he was warmly welcomed by the people, which made the deputy commissioner very curious.
Because although the Communist Party and the Kuomintang were cooperating at that time, the contradictions were very deep. He was very curious about how Yan'an, the revolutionary base of the Communist Party, welcomed a Kuomintang commissioner.
spent a few days in Yan'an. He felt that the enthusiasm and living atmosphere of the locals were very different from other places. became very interested in the Communist Party and wanted Chairman Mao to meet and chat.
In fact, Chairman Mao could have refused, but just as He Shaonan was driven away, the cooperation situation in Suide area was somewhat subtle. He was very happy to learn that the commissioner was coming, and said:
"This is a good thing. After leaving a specialist who creates friction, a specialist who actively resists Japan came. I should meet him and receive it in person."
This matter has been highly valued by Yan'an area , because it is very likely that this specialist will take over He Shaonan's position.
Even if he does not take over, this person who agrees with the anti-Japanese concept will definitely not do anything that endangers the anti-Japanese situation in front of the Kuomintang.
For various considerations, Chairman Mao took time to have dinner with the specialist in the youth cafeteria.
But what is unexpected is that this hard-won dinner attracted assassination from those who are interested.
At that time, Chairman Mao led Chen Boda and relevant staff to welcome the deputy commissioner in Suide area. The relevant person was accompanied by Chairman Mao’s secretary Ye Zilong . As for the person in charge of security work, Jiang Zemin was the one in charge.
Jiang Zemin was very worried about this sudden dinner. In response to the inexplicable large number of people, he hurriedly arranged more people to maintain order, but he still did not take it lightly.
Ye Zilong
Chairman Mao and the deputy commissioner got out of the car, and the group walked with laughter. When they saw many people around, Chairman Mao was also surprised and asked, "What's going on?"
Jiang Zemin hurriedly said, "Everyone heard that you are coming here for dinner, so he insisted on coming over and having a look." The deputy commissioner next to
actually noticed the crowd a long time ago. He thought it was arranged by Chairman Mao. It seemed that it was not the same when he saw it today, and he became even more curious.
Chairman Mao understood what was going on. He was calm and greeted the people around him. What happened next also touched the deputy commissioner.
Sudden attack
At that time, the masses immediately cheered when they saw that it was Chairman Mao.
The crowd was not particularly large, and they were not crowded. Instead, they were next to the soldiers who maintained order, stretching out their hands to get close to Chairman Mao.
The villagers kept saying that the Chairman had worked hard and they should pay attention to their health. The cute children always wanted Chairman Mao to hug him, which made everyone laugh.
Chairman Mao shook hands with everyone and said: "I want to receive a very important guest today, so I will no longer talk to everyone like this. This is the deputy commissioner of the Kuomintang, so we welcome you too."
Under Chairman Mao's words, people also greeted the deputy commissioner. For a moment, the true actions of the masses touched the commissioner and admired Chairman Mao even more.
Jiang Zemin was also very happy with the lively scene in front of him, but he did not relax his vigilance. also found a suspicious person in the crowd.
This man dressed up as a farmer, with his hands behind his back, without cheering or being happy, and his face was very calm and ordinary.
Jiang Zemin took a look in another direction and saw that he was holding a thicker wooden stick in his hand, as if it had been folded down from the surrounding trees.
Although this man was wearing farmer's clothes, Jiang Zemin still saw something different. This person was very clean and young.
and his clothes were not as wrinkled as ordinary farmers, as if they had been carefully taken care of.
This made Jiang Zemin beware of his concern. Although the road to the canteen was not long, Jiang Zemin has always protected Chairman Mao in close proximity.
Even when Chairman Mao turned around, he accidentally bumped into Jiang Zemin, which made Jiang Zemin lower his head embarrassedly.
Just as Jiang Zemin was negligent, Chairman Mao turned around and invited the specialist to enter the canteen first. At this time, Chairman Mao was facing the crowd with his back.
Just in the flash, the man holding the stick rushed to the door like a wind, and with the help of the height of the steps next to it, bypassed the crowd, held the stick in both hands, jumped violently, and rushed towards the back of Chairman Mao's head.
All the processes were completed in almost a few seconds, and no one could react. Only Jiang Zemin, who had been on guard, took the initiative first.
At this time, there is no time to use any martial arts, weapons, or pistols. Jiang Zemin shouted, "Captain, be careful!" Then he rushed and hugged Chairman Mao's back and turned away.
Turning around, the thick wood root hit his arm hard.
This time, Jiang Zemin beaten his head a little dizzy. It can be seen how strong it is. Although it hurts his arm, Jiang Zemin is still confused for a second.
Assassin missed a single blow and did not escape, thinking about another blow. Jiang Zemin could not let him take action? Jiang Zemin, who reacted, just grabbed the wooden stick with his uninjured hand, then kicked the assassin hard and kicked it over several times.
Everyone also reacted and pressed the assassin to the ground, and a group of soldiers surrounded Chairman Mao.
At this time, the deputy commissioner had already entered the cafeteria first, looking around constantly, and knew nothing about what was happening outside the door.
Chairman Mao also realized, and Jiang Zemin hurriedly said: "Chairman, don't worry, I'll solve this problem. You go and have dinner with the specialist first. I will send someone to seal the door of the canteen to ensure safety."
Chairman Mao nodded and entered the canteen with great confidence.
Jiang Zemin hated the assassin so much that his teeth were itchy. At this time, his right arm was already as painful as a fracture, but he was afraid that Chairman Mao would worry, so he did not show any painful expression.
Assassin was punched and kicked by a group of people around him and was caught. Seeing that he had caught the assassin, Feng Yonggui, the guard next to , hurriedly asked Jiang Zemin: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
, Jiang Zemin shook his head and said: "You guys are optimistic about the door, I will protect Chairman Mao, and I will deal with this assassin when I look back." After
, Jiang Zemin endured the pain and quickly adjusted his condition, like a person who was fine. After a while, he entered the house, nodded to Chairman Mao, and stood aside with a calm expression.
is worthy of being Chairman Mao’s guard. If this stick was hit on the head, it would probably make people lose consciousness immediately, but Jiang Zemin endured the pain, and there was no strangeness that Chairman Mao could see.
is like this, and the dinner ended perfectly under the protection of Jiang Zemin's safety. The deputy commissioner had a very happy chat with Chairman Mao. After the end, the two were escorted back respectively.
At this time, Chairman Mao asked the people beside him with a serious look on his face and said, "How is the assassin?"
Jiang Zemin replied,
"Catched, tied up and stuffed into the car, his mouth was blocked, nothing happened. The masses were making trouble around the car for a while, and we persuaded him to leave."
Chairman Mao patted Jiang Zemin on the shoulder with relief: "Thanks to you by my side."
This shot would not matter if it was normal. At this time, Jiang Zemin had been seriously injured and endured for a long time without treatment. His arms had long been swollen into purple.
Chairman Mao almost missed Jiang Zemin when he shot this time. Only then did he realize that Jiang Zemin was seriously injured.
He asked Jiang Zemin to take off his sleeves. When Chairman Mao saw it, he was very sad. hurriedly instructed: "Send Jiang Zemin to the hospital."
Jiang Zemin was still holding back and saying, "Chairman is fine, I will send you back first, and I will go to the hospital."
Chairman Mao said angrily: "Go quickly, I have Ye Zilong and Feng Yonggui around me. If your arm is disabled, how can you be my guard?"
Jiang Zemin of course knew that Chairman Mao was not really angry, it was just caring about him.
He had no choice but to instruct the guards and followed his family to the hospital, and Chairman Mao returned home safely.
This time it was not a minor injury, which directly led to Jiang Zemin recuperation in the hospital for several months and was discharged from the hospital several times in the middle of , but was directly rejected by Mao Zedong.
As for the assassin, he was really "smart". At first, the interrogators thought there was a shocking conspiracy behind it.
It turned out that he was an agent of the Kuomintang . He accidentally came to Yan'an, lost contact with the organization, and had a low status.
That day happened to hear the news that Chairman Mao was going out for a meal, so he wanted to win a great contribution so that he could run to Chiang Kai-shek to receive the reward.
The staff couldn't believe these nonsense words at one time. After asking again and again, they found that this was the case. They thought about it again. If there was really a premeditation, they would not have come to assassinate with a stick.
However, this result also made the security personnel very ashamed. If it weren't for Jiang Zemin, they would have been shameless to live. They even let a person hold a stick and almost attack Chairman Mao.
Finally, the assassination case was dealt with assassination, which came to an end. This story is also recorded in the memoir. The stories recorded in
memoirs have been remembered and circulated by future generations. After retirement, Jiang Zemin still did things that contribute to the world and society.
This old hero worked hard for communism throughout his life, and also witnessed the strength and prosperity of the new China with his own eyes. He officially retired in January 1988. As the former deputy director of the Department of Vehicles and Shipment of the General Logistics Department, he enjoyed the treatment of a regular military officer.
On June 17, 2012, Jiang Zemin, a hundred years old, died of illness in Shenyang Hospital and passed away.
Although the hero has passed away, the memoirs he wrote and the story about the old hero Jiang Zemin remained in people's hearts forever.
