On October 8, 1945, the auditorium of the Chongqing Kuomintang Military Commission was crowded with people, but with a "whoosh" sound on the street, a man with a very similar figure to Premier Zhou fell straight to the ground and died in the car .
Premier Zhou
A shot from behind came too quickly. Not to mention seeing the murderer clearly, he didn't even have time to say goodbye to the world in a word.
News quickly reached Premier Zhou's ears at the banquet. His back chilled, and thousands of speculations came to his mind. After all, this was in Chiang Kai-shek's nest . After all, this negotiation Chiang Kai-shek's plan was obvious.
Chiang Kai-shek
Who is the dead person? Was he accidentally injured because of his similarity to Premier Zhou? After this incident, will the form on the negotiating table change? Why did Chiang Kai-shek, who clearly planned to let Chairman Mao "get away but not return" "get away?"
is really unexpected or a real conspiracy
The identity of the victim was locked on the night of October 8.
He is the secretary of the 18th Group Army Office in Chongqing Li Shaoshi , but at the same time, his other identity is Liao Zhongkai 's son-in-law.
Liao Zhongkai
Things will start from Liu Yazi meeting with Premier Zhou at the office to understand the negotiation situation.
The two discussed the serious situation at the negotiating table for a while. Because Premier Zhou had important things, he ordered Li Shaoshi to send Liu Yazi to his home near Shapingba Central University. The driver in charge was named Xiong Guohua.
The two sent Liu Yazi to the entrance of Central University . When they raised their wrists, they found that it was already 5:00 p.m.
Liu Yazi
"Brother Li, sit down, I will go to pick up the chairman at 5:30 in the afternoon to attend the event. I may drive faster on the return trip of ." The chairman could not delay everything, so the two rushed back in a hurry.
But they ignored the charm of Chongqing, known as the "mountain city".
The winding mountain roads with ups and downs are very difficult to walk on. After finally reaching the office, I went directly downhill without paying attention. The car was slowing down and the back door directly hit a Kuomintang soldier who was convenient to the roadside.
Because it was a tail-shook, the two men who had temporarily lost weight in the car did not feel that they bumped into someone, but drove forward with all their might. Naturally, they could not hear the angrily scolding and shouting after the soldiers who were hit.
Office site
"I ran away after hitting someone, I'll let you see it today" , the angry soldier squad leader pulled up his gun and shot it at the car, and a bullet went straight through the tool box behind the car, pierced through the seat and shot into Li Shaoshi's lungs sitting in the back seat.
Blood flowed out, Li Shaoshi was covered in blood, Xiong Guohua I don’t know where the bullet was shot, but the most urgent task in front of him was to send Li Shaoshi to the hospital.
Li Shaoshi
The car was running lightning on the road, but even if it was safely sent to Chongqing Citizen Hospital, Li Shaoshi was still seriously injured and died.
When he learned the news, Premier Zhou was attending a banquet set up by Chiang Kai-shek. Seeing that Chairman Mao was about to return to Yan'an, such an unexpected incident occurred, so Premier Zhou had to think about it.
He didn't have the intention to drink anymore, but rushed to the hospital after receiving the news. Chiang Kai-shek was also in a hurry. He didn't want the Communist Party to seize his own handle at this critical moment of life and death.
Until he heard his subordinates "They hit people first" , Chiang Kai-shek finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then, his treacherous nature was once again visible.
Because he ordered the injured soldier to be transferred to the citizen hospital, and the ward was set up next door to the ward where Li Shaoshi's body was shelved.
Li Shaoshi
Chiang Kai-shek did this just to cut off the possibility of the Communist Party "fabricating facts and slandering himself". But Chiang really thought too much, The Communist Party of China disdained to fight the public opinion battle he is good at.
After learning that it was indeed the first to hit someone, Premier Zhou personally visited the injured Wu Yingtang on the afternoon of October 10, and sincerely promised that "we will bear all the medical expenses, nutrition expenses, and post-treatment expenses. I hope you can rest assured and forgive the driver."
Premier Zhou's behavior was open-minded, but seeing a life falling into a shot from his own people, Chiang Kai-shek did nothing because he was very unhappy.
Chairman Mao and Chiang Kai-shek
Chinese military and civilians won the victory of War of Resistance Against Japan with 8 years of bloody battle. Foreign invasion has been eliminated. Chiang Kai-shek's new ambition is to seize power. This is why he sent three telegrams from August 14 to 23, 1945, inviting Chairman Mao to Chongqing to discuss the major national development plans.
telegram is being sent, and Chiang Kai-shek's publicity on this matter is overwhelming, because under his pretended sincerity, he was hiding the conviction that "Chairman Mao would never come to Chongqing to make an appointment."
Chiang Kai-shek's wishful thinking was very good. As long as Chairman Mao refused, he would immediately launch a war and naturally remove the charge of "the culprit of the civil war" from Chairman Mao.
At that time, the people who had experienced the hardships of the War of Resistance were eager for peace and stability. If they could really successfully pass the blame, Chiang Kai-shek could be said to be a killing of two birds with one stone by "Even if you win the world, you will win the hearts of the people."
, however, his first step was gone.
Chairman Mao was running around and complaining.
"What are you still going to the airport? Come with me to go to the airport. Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou's plane will land in Chongqing in the afternoon."

Shi Ximin pulled Wang Huaibing out until he got in the car and answered his question "Is this matter true or false?"
"Of course it's true. Chiang Kai-shek predicts that our Chairman dare not take risks. , but for the sake of the country, why don't we Chairman Mao dare to ? As for why you, as a reporter, did not receive the news in time, it was also Chiang Kai-shek's intentional act to weaken the Chairman's influence in Chongqing."
August in the mountain city is foggy, but on August 28, when Chairman Mao arrived, it was clear sky. Everyone was saying "Chairman Mao has arrived, and the sky in Chongqing has improved."
Chairman Mao (second from left)
When Chairman Mao set off, he expected Chiang Kai-shek to "ban" the news of his appointment, but he never thought that when it landed, the ground was full of people.
Guo Moruo and Yu Liqun were present one after another. Zhang Lan and Huang Yanpei and other old gentlemen also looked anxious because they did not stand in front, and a group of foreign journalists flocked to him.
Huang Yanpei
The crazy sound of the camera proves the intense scene, and Hurley, who was responsible for picking Chairman Mao to Chongqing, even quipped , "Brother Mao in Chongqing is like a movie star in Hollywood ."
"The issue of unity between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which has been in stalemate for eight years, suddenly became enlightened due to the appointment of the Communist Party leader Chairman Mao" echoed throughout Chongqing. Even though Chiang Kai-shek's confidant Chen Bulei personally ordered that the Communist Party not be created for the Communist Party, the news springed like mushrooms after the rain. Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he was helpless.
Chairman Mao
Chiang Kai-shek naturally shows the unhappiness in his heart, and Chiang Kai-shek's arrogant attitude is even more doomed to the unhappiness of negotiations.
On September 3, the Communist Party submitted 11 key points of negotiation to the Kuomintang with sincerity, but after reading it, Chiang Kai-shek sneered and said directly, "The plan proposed by the representative of the Communist Party of China is actually worthless of , and it is even more sincere."
But this statement cannot be decided by Chiang Kai-shek alone.
For this negotiation, the CCP has made considerable concessions, but Chiang Kai-shek only wants to make money by sacking . No matter what the CCP proposes, Chiang Kai-shek will only think that it requires too much.
Chiang Kai-shek
Negotiations were at a deadlock from the beginning, but compared to Chiang Kai-shek's furiousness, Chairman Mao was more calm and composed.
He actively met with democrats , participated in international activities, and accepted interviews. People often said that he was self-proclaimed and was very generous. Chiang Kai-shek spent half his life to "smear" Chairman Mao, and In just 43 days in Chongqing, Chairman Mao used his own charm to subvert the image of the Kuomintang's propaganda on him.
Chairman Mao
Chongqing people say that "Chairman Mao is the demeanor of the leader", and although Chiang Kai-shek nominally took Soung Mei-ling to Xichang for vacation on September 27, the uncle who couldn't see clearly has begun to prepare for the "seizure" matter. He was in the beautiful Xichang, but Chiang Kai-shek did not see the scenery at all and was determined to collect the so-called "crimes of the CCP."
In his diary on September 29, Chiang Kai-shek displayed 11 . The scattered words were obvious in their hearts, and it was Chiang Kai-shek's desperate bet.
However, Chairman Mao left a backup plan before going to Chongqing, and this also became his confidence to escape unstoppable.
Chiang Kai-shek's biggest misjudgment in his life
On August 23, 1945, after Chiang Kai-shek's third telegram was delivered, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held an enlarged meeting on Yan'an Zaoyuan , which focused on one issue: or not?
The first speaker was the always straightforward Peng Dehuai .
Peng Dehuai
"As far as Chiang Kai-shek's virtues are concerned, peace talks are not very effective. If I ask me to just start fighting."
Zhu De quickly stood up and said, "If you want me to say that the Chairman is going, we must be ready to fight this battle."
But in August 1945, it was actually a problem.
Since entering the second half of 1943, the situation on the battlefield has become very clear, so most of our party’s comrades in the anti-Japanese base area of behind the enemy have returned to Yan'an.
If you return to your respective combat locations, it is hard to say how long it takes. You can fight, but what if you don’t have a commander in the battle?
New questions popped up, and Chairman Mao focused his attention on Ye Jianying.
Ye Jianying
"Comrade Jianying, I know that you have a good relationship with the US military observation team. Can you come forward to borrow an airplane and transfer Liu Bocheng and others."
Ye Jianying lived up to his responsibilities, and at 9 o'clock on August 25, a US military aircraft carrying more than 20 elites of our party, including Liu Bocheng, Chen Yi, and , also took off in Yan'an and landed smoothly in the military region.

leaders who performed their duties rushed to their own positions and were ready. Liu Shaoqi's timely proposed "develop northward and defend southward" 's combat policy directly pointed out Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy. The external loss of power damaged Chiang Kai-shek's confidence. Although he once wanted to give up, he finally proved that the so-called beauty was just a vulnerable bubble.
Liu Shaoqi
Because of this, the case of Li Shaoshi being murdered made Chiang Kai-shek so worried. Although he intended to use this matter to make trouble, "counting romantic figures still depends on the Communist Party of China and Chairman Mao."
After all, Chiang Kai-shek can't afford to offend anyone.
Chiang Kai-shek's spirit was completely dissipated, and because of this, Premier Zhou also promptly proposed to let Chairman Mao return to Yan'an first.
On October 11, 1945, Chairman Mao boarded the return plane at Jiulongpo Airport . He used his wisdom and courage to promote the signing of the Double Ten Agreement and his own escape. However, for Chiang Kai-shek, the so-called Double Ten Agreement was just a piece of paper, and His last move was to launch the civil war .
Chiang Kai-shek
On October 13 after Chairman Mao left, Chiang Kai-shek directly issued a "Secret Order to Suppress the Communist Party" and tore up the armistice agreement on June 26, 1946 and launched a full-scale attack on the liberated areas, but it was shooting itself in the foot.
shot out the first bird and bombarded those who are interested. Chiang Kai-shek shouted with his loudest shout, but he gained the most tragic record . The fewer the millions he was proud of The Vietnam War , and the Communist Party won not only the battle, but also the hearts of the people. It liberated the whole country in less than three years, and everyone expressed the praise of "Long live Chairman Mao, Long live the Communist Party of China".
Chairman Mao
"The Jiang family dynasty" is a building collapsed, and because of this, the sentence Chiang Kai-shek wrote in his diary in the past "Chairman Mao has no possibility of accomplishing anything" is even more sarcastic.
Chiang Kai-shek did countless mistakes in his life, and it is even more difficult to count in his mistakes, but this sentence is the biggest one.
Whether it is a heroic and martial arts strategy or a poet in his heart, Chiang Kai-shek is far beyond his reach than Chairman Mao.
Chairman Mao has the world in his heart, and Chiang Kai-shek has only one person in his heart, that is himself.
Chairman Mao
The short-sighted person is like a frog in a well, naively thinking that the blue sky is only that big, but in fact, what is narrow is not the entrance of the cave or the blue sky, but the paranoid heart that cannot see the reality clearly and is unwilling to let go of its stubbornness.
The founding of the new China by the Communist Party of China is an inevitable result of history, and the Chinese nation reborn in Nirvana will only be forever unshakable.
