Preface

After more than three years of liberation war, our army basically annihilated the main force of the national army in 1949 and liberated most of the country. Time came to October 1, 1949, when New China held its founding ceremony in Tiananmen, Beijing. Standing on the Tiananmen Gate were not only the leaders of the Communist Party of China headed by Chairman Mao, but also democrats, officials and generals of the National Army uprising.

Among the generals of the National Army uprising who participated in the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, there was one person who was very special. He was one of the candidates appointed by Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou Enlai to participate. This person was named Yang Hu.

Yang Hu's identity is unusual. He was previously a senior general of the National Army and a sworn brother of Chiang Kai-shek. Being able to participate in the founding ceremony of New China was Chairman Mao's trust in him. However, in 1958, the ninth year after the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao personally ordered that Yang Hu be immediately arrested and brought to justice?

Good brothers part ways

Yang Hu is from Anhui. He was born in 1889. His family is poor and he has lived a hard life since he was a child. When he grew up, Yang Hu was influenced by revolutionary ideas and joined the army. When Sun Yat-sen led the movement to challenge Yuan, Yang Hu was one of his important helpers. He was soon promoted to commander-in-chief of the Jiangsu Army due to his military exploits.

Chiang Kai-shek was also a patriot who followed Sun Yat-sen's revolution in his early years. He had a good relationship with Yang Hu. The two went through hardships together and were considered a pair of good brothers. When Sun Yat-sen was alive, Yang Hu and Chiang Kai-shek were his favorite generals and held a certain amount of real power.

After Sun Yat-sen died of illness, Chiang Kai-shek seized military power, Yang Hu chose to follow him, and the two became brothers. After following Chiang Kai-shek, Yang Hu did many evil things. He colluded with gangs in Shanghai, helped Chiang Kai-shek suppress the revolutionary forces, and killed many revolutionary masses and communists in Shanghai.

During the All-out Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government moved its capital to Chongqing. Chiang Kai-shek planned to hand over the post of Chongqing Garrison Commander to Yang Hu. After all, this position was related to his own safety. Yang Hu was a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, which was trustworthy. But just before Yang Hu was appointed as the commander of the Chongqing garrison, something happened that made Soong Meiling lose all goodwill towards him, and also caused a rift in the brotherhood between Chiang Kai-shek and Yang Hu.

In order to show her respect and trust for Yang Hu, Song Meiling introduced a marriage to her son Yang Guoan. On the wedding day, Kuomintang officials attended one after another, and the beautiful bride was also present, but the groom Yang Guoan could not be seen. It turned out that Yang Guoan had escaped from marriage. He already had a sweetheart, so he temporarily regretted the marriage and did not attend the wedding. A farce caused the introducer Song Meiling to lose face and angrily cursed Yang Hu and his son in front of Chiang Kai-shek.

With Soong Meiling fanning the flames, Chiang Kai-shek had to reconsider the candidate for the post of Chongqing Garrison Commander. In the end, the position was handed over to another confidant Liu Zhi. Yang Hu only got a false position without real power because he offended Soong Meiling.

Since then, the relationship between Yang Hu and Chiang Kai-shek was not as strong as before. Cracks appeared between the two brothers, so that they finally parted ways and went their own ways.

Abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, and was reused

After Yang Hu got a leisurely position, he had nothing to do every day, and he also suffered a big loss in doing some business, and his life was not going smoothly. One day, under the persuasion of Yang Jie, Yang Hu regained his confidence and wanted to do something for the cause of the overall anti-Japanese war. He used his influence to get acquainted with many patriotic people.

During his stay in Chongqing, Yang Hu also met Premier Zhou several times. When the two talked about the past, Yang Hu felt very regretful and sorry for becoming Chiang Kai-shek's accomplice when Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup. Considering the overall situation, Premier Zhou comforted Yang Hu and told the Communists to forget about it and just correct it if they knew they were wrong.

After meeting with Premier Zhou several times, Yang Hu was impressed by his charisma and his impression of the Communists was greatly improved. He admired the spirit and attitude of the Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers headed by Chairman Mao who could proceed from the national interests, abandon the past grudges, and jointly defend against the enemy.

During the War of Liberation, Yang Hu had contact with the underground party in Shanghai and did some things that were beneficial to the nation.Before Shanghai was about to be liberated, Yang Hu participated in the mission of rescuing and protecting democrats, allowing Zhang Lan, Luo Longji and others to successfully escape the assassination attempt by Kuomintang agents.

Chiang Kai-shek wanted Yang Hu to go to Taiwan. After being rejected, he was very dissatisfied. He believed that Yang Hu had betrayed him, so he ordered his agents to assassinate him. Under the protection of Shanghai's underground party members, Yang Hu left Shanghai safely and took a train to Beijing, China. At the Peking Railway Station, Premier Zhou and a group of leaders warmly welcomed Yang Hu's arrival.

On the day of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, Yang Hu was invited by Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou to go to Tiananmen Square to watch the ceremony. This was a special treatment. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao did not forget Yang Hu's contribution. Not only did he provide relevant care in life, but he also served as an advisor to the Government Affairs Council.

Considering that Yang Hu was an accomplice of Chiang Kai-shek's opposition and massacre of the Communists, Chairman Mao's ability to let go of the past has shown the broad-mindedness of the Communists. After the establishment of in New China, Yang Hu not only served in the government department, but also received special care in life. This was already a very good ending. Unfortunately, he was greedy and was so greedy that he was ruined in the end.

Greedy and Insufficient She Tunxiang

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Hu had some psychological changes. He felt that he had made great contributions and should be able to obtain a higher position and better treatment.

Yang Hu hoped to serve as a member of the CPPCC and made a request to the relevant departments. Considering that Yang Hu had colluded with the Youth Gang in Shanghai and killed many revolutionary masses and communists, the organization believed that it was best for him not to show his face often, also for Yang Hu's consideration.

Yang Hu didn't understand the organization's hard work. After he failed to obtain a high-ranking official position, he was always dissatisfied and began to spread some untrue remarks everywhere. In 1958, Yang Hu's son returned to the mainland from Taiwan to visit his father. Yang Hu seized this opportunity and asked his son to send a message, telling Chiang Kai-shek that he was in Cao Ying but his heart was in Han.

After Chiang Kai-shek learned of Yang Hu's thoughts, he sent a spy to sneak into the mainland and get in touch with him. In this way, Yang Hu went to the point of no return. What's even more hateful is that Yang Hu not only colluded with Chiang Kai-shek, but also colluded with the Japanese. He wrote to Japan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Aoi Shigemitsu, asking them to send troops to the Northeast and Fujian respectively. He would respond internally and provide help to them when necessary.

In the end, Yang Hu’s sinister intentions were revealed through reports. In the face of various evidences and confessions, Yang Hu was firmly accused of surrendering to the enemy and treason. When Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou learned about it, they were angry and disappointed and ordered Yang Hu to be arrested immediately.

Treason and surrender to the enemy is a major crime in any country. Yang Hu was sentenced to death with a two-year suspended sentence. Taking into account Yang Hu's meritorious service in rescuing democrats in Shanghai, Chairman Mao decided not to kill him and commuted his sentence to life imprisonment. Yang Hu was so greedy that he surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country for such selfish desires. He cannot be forgiven.

Conclusion

Yang Hu and Chiang Kai-shek were sworn brothers, and the two eventually parted ways. This was originally a good thing, allowing him to draw a clear line between him and Chiang Kai-shek and stand on the side of the people.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Hu was treated as a guest of honor by Chairman Mao, given preferential treatment in life, and held certain positions. However, he did not cherish it and betrayed the trust of Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou. The consequences he received were his own fault. In 1966, Yang Hu died of illness at the age of 79, completing his complicated life.
