1949, Xiong Xianghui returned to China from the United States. It was already the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the situation was very good. Premier Zhou specially welcomed Xiong Xianghui. After seeing Premier Zhou, Xiong Xianghui was very excited. The two chatted a lot of past events that day.
When talking about the exposure of his identity in 1947, Xiong Xianghui was very puzzled, why was he not dealt with by Hu Zongnan at that time? After many years, Premier Zhou finally solved Xiong Xianghui's doubts, and it turned out that this matter was not that simple.
Xiong Xianghui lurked beside Hu Zongnan
Xiong Xianghui was born in 1919. He has a wealthy family. He has received a good education since childhood. He is influenced by advanced ideas. He is full of justice in his heart and wants to make a contribution to national reform. In 1936, Xiong Xianghui was admitted to Tsinghua University with excellent results and joined the Communist Party in the school.
It was this year that an important historical event occurred, that is, Xi'an Incident . Chiang Kai-shek, who was originally determined to wipe out the Communist Party, finally agreed to cooperate with the Communist Party to fight against Japan under the advice of Zhang Xueliang. However, after agreeing to the cooperation, Chiang Kai-shek placed Zhang Xueliang under house arrest and Yang Hucheng transferred him to his post, which is enough to show that Chiang Kai-shek was still a little unwilling to do with this cooperation.
After Yang Hucheng was transferred, Chiang Kai-shek arranged for Hu Zongnan to guard the northwest. After Hu Zongnan took office, he began to recruit soldiers and planned to select a group of outstanding young people to form a youth battlefield service team. Zhou Enlai, who had long seen Chiang Kai-shek's ill-heartedness, paid great attention to every move of Chiang Kai-shek. In order to prepare for the future, Zhou Enlai decided to take this good opportunity to arrange some outstanding young people from our party to lurk by Hu Zongnan so that he can grasp more of the Kuomintang's trends in the future.
If you want to arrange the right candidate to sneak into Hu Zongnan's side, the most important thing is to first understand Hu Zongnan's personality and employment preferences. Premier Zhou is quite familiar with Hu Zongnan. Hu Zongnan pays the most attention to the arrangement and background. If you want Hu Zongnan to pay attention, you must find someone with a great background and an extraordinary education.
After some searching, Premier Zhou found Xiong Xianghui who was studying at Tsinghua University. This person is not only from a great man, but also knowledgeable, which is definitely in line with Hu Zongnan's employment hobbies. Sure enough, Xiong Xianghui accepted the organization's arrangements and participated in the selection, he was selected by Hu Zongnan without any suspense.
In order to ensure Xiong Xianghui's safety, Zhou Enlai specifically told Xiong Xianghui to be calm before he joined the company, and not to contact the organization easily when necessary, and to be good at expressing himself around Hu Zongnan so that he will not be buried. Xiong Xianghui kept Zhou Enlai's teachings in mind, and when he met Hu Zongnan for the first time, he attracted the attention of Hu Zongnan.
At that time, Hu Zongnan reviewed the talents he had just selected. When he called them, the rest of the staff answered "I am". Only Xiong Xianghui answered "I am". Just a simple answer attracted Hu Zongnan's attention, so that Hu Zongnan asked him several questions in succession. Xiong Xianghui seized the opportunity to answer one by one, which made Hu Zongnan look at him with admiration.
After this meeting, Hu Zongnan talked to Xiong Xianghui many times. After the conversation, he directly arranged Xiong Xianghui to go to the 7th Branch of the Whampoa Military Academy for further studies. After the further studies, he arranged Xiong Xianghui to be his confidential secretary and deputy servant. Xiong Xianghui was very smart, and he was good at observing words and expressions, so he was highly valued by Hu Zongnan. Later, Hu Zongnan even handed over the speeches to Xiong Xianghui for drafting, which is enough to show Hu Zongnan's attention to Xiong Xianghui.
Xionghui seized the opportunity and drafted a speech that best suited Hu Zongnan's style through his understanding and analysis of Hu Zongnan. This move was deeply appreciated by Hu Zongnan, and Xiong Xianghui's position was also rising. Later, he became Hu Zongnan's confidant, laying the groundwork for his great contributions to his later period.
Xiong Xianghui played a role
From 1937 to 1943, the Kuomintang’s anti-Japanese war was relatively active in the past six years, so Xiong Xianghui did not contact Zhou Enlai, but just lurked by Hu Zongnan silently. However, in 1943, things took a turn.Chiang Kai-shek was very jealous when he saw the development of the Communist Party over the years and wanted to take some measures against the Communist Party, but he never found a suitable opportunity. It happened that , the Communist International, and were disbanded. Chiang Kai-shek seized the opportunity and wanted to take important measures against the Communist Party.
Chiang Kai-shek secretly ordered Hu Zongnan to to blitz Yan'an , asking Hu Zongnan to keep it absolutely confidential, but when Hu Zongnan issued the strategic deployment document, Xiong Xianghui, who was Hu Zongnan's confidant, naturally saw these important information. So Xiong Xianghui did not do anything to contact his contact person as quickly as possible and sent the message to Yan'an .
After receiving the news, Mao Zedong, Zhu De and others immediately started to criticize Chiang Kai-shek. After a contest, Chiang Kai-shek knew that he was in the wrong and his actions had been exposed, so he did not continue to attack Yan'an. With Xiong Xianghui's important news, Yan'an successfully escaped the disaster.
Chiang Kai-shek was very angry when he learned that the news was leaked and ordered Hu Zongnan to find out the truth. Xiong Xianghui calmly responded to the matter. Not only did he not panic, he also took the initiative to provide advice to help Hu Zongnan find the truth. Therefore, he not only ensured his own safety, but also received more attention from Hu Zongnan.
In 1947, Chiang Kai-shek planned to raid Yan'an and secretly ordered Hu Zongnan to take action. Xiong Xianghui was on his honeymoon at that time. Because Hu Zongnan trusted him enough, he specially arranged for someone to pick up Xiong Xianghui back to Nanjing to discuss major events. When Hu Zongnan finished reading the documents to Xiong Xianghui, he immediately remembered them in his heart.
This incident happened very suddenly. Fortunately, Hu Zongnan trusted Xiong Xianghui enough to give him the opportunity to see these files, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Xiong Xianghui wrote down the content he wrote down and handed it to the connector Wang Shijian . Then the connector tried every means to send the files to Yan'an.
After receiving the information, Yan'an immediately took a transfer action. After Hu Zongnan's army arrived in Yan'an, our army had already moved away, leaving only an empty city, which surprised Hu Zongnan and Chiang Kai-shek. Because of this outstanding performance, even Mao Zedong praised Xiong Xianghui: "One person is in charge of several divisions."
Through these performances of Xiong Xianghui, we can see how powerful Xiong Xianghui is. It is because of the silent efforts of these people that our party and our army have been saved from danger many times. Otherwise, the consequences are really unimaginable, but once the heroes on the secret front are exposed, the ending will be very miserable.
Xionghui's identity was exposed
In May 1947, after Xiong Xianghui received Hu Zongnan's approval, he went to the United States to study. Shortly after he left, the linker Wang Shijian was discovered by the Kuomintang. After continuous investigation, Xiong Xianghui's identity was also exposed. Hu Zongnan knew that he was a Communist.
Xiong Xianghui was very worried about his wife who was still in China, but what made Xiong Xianghui more confused was that after his identity was exposed, not only did his wife who stayed in China not be affected, but he also seemed to have nothing happened to him. Neither Hu Zongnan nor Chiang Kai-shek did anything to Xiong Xianghui, which made Xiong Xianghui puzzled.
In July 1949, Xiong Xianghui completed his studies and returned to the motherland and met Zhou Enlai. The two talked about the past during a casual conversation. Xiong Xianghui finally expressed the doubts in his heart. After Zhou Enlai heard this, he patiently solved the doubts for Xiong Xianghui.
It turned out that Hu Zongnan was indeed furious after Xiong Xianghui's identity was exposed, but after a brief anger, Hu Zongnan immediately regained his calmness and tried his best to suppress the matter, not let Chiang Kai-shek know that Xiong Xianghui was the Communist general lurking in the Kuomintang.
As for why Hu Zongnan did not let Chiang Kai-shek know about this, the reason is actually relatively simple, mainly self-protection. Hu Zongnan is Xiong Xianghui's direct boss. The reason why Xiong Xianghui had the opportunity to leak secrets was mainly due to Hu Zongnan's trust in him. From this we can see that once Chiang Kai-shek knew Xiong Xianghui's identity, he would definitely not forgive Hu Zongnan easily.
For the sake of his political future, Hu Zongnan could only swallow his teeth and suppress the matter himself. He would not hold Xiong Xianghui accountable. From another perspective, it would not hold Hu Zongnan accountable. In the dark, they had already become a community without realizing it. They prospered and lost.
Conclusion
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiong Xianghui returned to the party and followed Zhou Enlai to engage in diplomatic work, and continued to contribute to the construction of the motherland in his position. Maybe his position is not that eye-catching, but his contribution to the revolution is enough to be recorded in history!
