There are always many choices in life, and many seemingly trivial decisions may change your life. It's like a fork in the journey of life. If you want to move on, you always have to choose one. Maybe there is a broad road ahead, maybe a bumpy low-lying road, or even a muddy swamp. So you have to be cautious about every choice in life.
There was one person who had persecuted the development of our party's cause. It can be said that his hands were stained with revolutionary party blood. But there are always many wonderful things in life. After decades of wind and rain, he finally chose to join the people's camp. This is a very wise decision, because his special contribution was also invited to participate in the founding ceremony, witnessing the great moment of the founding of New China with the chairman.
But only nine years later, this person was sentenced to death. Why?
Devoted to revolutionary cause
This person is Yang Hu , speaking of his origin is not good, his father is a kiln worker, and his family is living on the meager income of his father selling labor.
When Yang Hu was born, his family was too poor. The father thought for a long time before he made up his mind to sell his young son to Yang Yunlong from a neighboring village as his stepson. Such a decision is very helpless. If Yang Hu stays and can only be starved to death, there is still hope of survival when he sells it to others, and the remuneration from selling him can also help the family tide over the difficulties.
Yang Hu’s biological father chose Yang Yunlong because Yang Yunlong and his wife were unable to have children. Without an heir, they can put all their love on Yang Hu. After Yang Hu came to Yang's house, he had his own name and had a happy childhood under the love of his adoptive parents.
In his youth, Yang Hu was unwilling to live a mediocre life. Instead, he applied for the military academy and joined the League when he was studying at the Liangjiang Military Academy. Please remember that this year is 1907. A year later, another young talent also became a member of the Tongmenghui under the recommendation of Chen Qimei. This person is Chiang Kai-shek. It can be seen that Yang Hu is more senior than Chiang Kai-shek in the Kuomintang. To be high.
Under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen,The decadent Qing court rule was overthrown, and the Republic of China was established. But this revolution was not complete. First, Yuan Shikai , who usurped the fruits of the revolution, wanted to restore the monarchy. After Yuan's death, Beiyang warlord was like a plate of scattered sand, with many warlords, and China fell into an era of regime disputes.
And the Guangdong military government formed by Sun Yat-sen was not united and inflicted constant internal strife. Chen Jiongming, who was once trusted by the founding father, launched a rebellion. Without Yang Hu's desperate protection, Sun Yat-sen would not escape. Trust him more.
His hands are stained with the blood of revolutionary patriots
Yang Hu is a loyal man, and is very good at business relations. He has always got along well with Chiang Kai-shek. After the death of Sun Yat-sen, with the support of Chiang Kai-shek, Yang Hu's political status was not affected at all. He was promoted to lieutenant general and served as the Shanghai garrison commander.
Later Jiang Gui war , the Central Plains war Chiang Kai-shek can become the final victor, in the final analysis is the strong financial support, and Zhejiang and Shanghai area is his main source of financial resources, can let Yang Hu serve as the Shanghai garrison commander, enough See the close relationship between the two.
After Yang Hu took office, he also fully supported Chiang Kai-shek's rule. After the "April 12" broke out, Yang Huhui and Shanghai's three great heroes, with the Qinggang as the main force, violently persecuted the Shanghai party organization. Thousands of party members and revolutionary cadres were arrested and killed, and the whole city was shrouded in white terror. In this counter-revolutionary coup, Yang Hu was regarded as the "main minister".
But as Yang Hu's position in Shanghai became more and more stable and his influence grew, Chiang Kai-shek felt that his position was threatened. After the Central Plains War, Chiang Kai-shek vacated the space to "encircle and suppress" the Soviet area, and also began to deal with the big figures in the party who threatened his status. Yang Hu became the key "object of care".
From 1931 to before the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japan, Yang Hu's authority was slowly deprived, and in the end only a nominal empty shell was left. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Yang Hu moved to Chongqing, where he had nothing to do. He often called some politicians and celebrities at home to talk about state affairs.One of them is the Ambassador to the Soviet Union Yang Jie .
It was when Yang Jie got in touch. Yang Hu got to know Zhou Enlai, and after talking with Zhougong , he also had a better understanding of our party's views and felt guilty for the wrong things he did on April 12th. After many meetings with Zhou Gong, he once said that if your party needs it, he can help. Zhou Gong also stated to him that the party accepts these friends who treat each other sincerely with a frank attitude. Since they are friends, all past events are "forgetful."
Hearing this, Yang Hu let go of the last bit of grievances in his heart. For several years, he secretly helped our party a lot with his influence. This included the rescue of patriots such as Zhang Lan and Luo Longji.
Rescue Zhang Lan
On the eve of Shanghai's liberation, Lao Jiang ordered the secret execution of a group of patriotic detainees. Among them were Zhang Lan and others. After investigation, Zhang Lan and Luo Longji were placed under house arrest in the Hongqiao Sanatorium.
The surveillance task has always been the responsibility of the Inspection Division of the Shanghai Garrison Command. Deputy Director of the Inspection Division Yan Jinwen is Yang Hu’s many-year-old subordinate, and Shanghai Garrison Deputy Commander Zhou Lixing is Yang Hu’s son-in-law. It seems that if this can be done With Yang Hu's assistance, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Soon a telegram sent by Zhou Gong was delivered to Yang Hu. After reading the content, Yang Hu did not hesitate at all, and expressed to the sender that he would do his best to complete the rescue mission.
Zhou Lixing is no problem, the key lies in Yan Jinwen. Yang Hu invited this old subordinate home, and slowly talked about the important things of the country from the little things at home. After carefully analyzing the domestic situation, Yang Hu told Yan Jinwen the real purpose of inviting him: to save people.
Having talked so much with the old superiors, Yan Jinwen already felt that this conversation was unusual. After hearing Yang Hu’s true thoughts, he was also taken aback. Finally, after he saw the telegram from Zhou Enlai, he made the final statement. The choice: abandon the dark and turn to the bright, rescue Zhang Lan and other patriots.
Without Yang Hu's great help, Zhang Lan, Luo Longji and others could not escape this disaster.
Yang Hu has done so much for our party, is there no doubt that Chiang Kai-shek is stumped? There is suspicion,But there was no evidence, and in the end there was nothing.
The hero of the people, the sinner of the country
Soon after Shanghai was about to be liberated, Chiang Kai-shek asked Zhou Lixing to give Yang Hu a dozen tickets to Taiwan, but Yang Hu refused. When Chiang Kai-shek learned about it, he yelled at him, and later arranged Du Yuesheng to accompany Yang Hu to leave Shanghai.
Yang Hu just agreed to Du Yuesheng to go to Hong Kong with him, but secretly arranged everything. On the day of leaving, only Yang Hu and a wife and a few entourage came to the pier. He said that he wanted to go to Hong Kong. After the arrangements were made, other family members would go to Hong Kong one after another. Du Yuesheng had trouble saying anything.
However, after the ship was turned on, Du Yuesheng did not find Yang Hu on the ship. It turned out that Yang Hu sneaked off the ship after boarding, and it was too late at this time.
Later, the Yang Hu family went north under the arrangement of the underground party organization and was invited to participate in the founding ceremony to witness the birth of this great country.
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, many insurgent generals had their own positions and tasks, but Yang Hu only served as a consultant to the State Council. He once visited Zhou Gong and wanted to give himself a position with real power to better contribute to the new China. Zhou Gong made a simple explanation and promised that he would make adjustments to his work at the right time.
After the two chatted, Zhou Gong personally sent him out.
But Yang Hu has not been able to do so, because the organization considered that he had participated in the "April 12" after all. If he was appointed to an important position earlier, many people would not accept it. In fact, from another perspective, it is also Protection of him.
But Yang Hu did not understand this profound meaning. In addition, his current living conditions were not as good as his pre-liberation level, and he was dissatisfied with the new government. Later, he used a hidden spy to talk to the old Chiang far away in Taiwan, saying If he counterattacks the mainland, he will do his best to support it.
The letter was intercepted in Guangzhou. Soon after, Yang Hu was arrested. In 1958, Yang Hu was sentenced to death. Fortunately, the organization thought of Yang Hu's contribution and never implemented it. In 1966, Yang Hu died of illness in prison.
