Central Bureau of the Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China, as one of the two major spy organizations of the Kuomintang, is an important dictatorial tool for Chiang Kai-shek to implement dictatorship and plays an irreplaceable special role in the Kuomintang government.
Xu Enzeng, as the founder and actual leader of this huge secret service, made great contributions to the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek regime in 1930-1945 for 15 years.
However, it was such a spy leader who had made great achievements who was unexpectedly "dismissed from his position as a part-time position and would not be hired in the world" by Chiang Kai-shek before the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, which shocked the Kuomintang inside and outside.
Xu Enzeng is the cousin of the Kuomintang’s important person Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu . In the spring of 1930, Xu En served as director of the Kuomintang Investigation Section, responsible for intelligence work, and began his 15-year spy career.
With the support and help of the brothers Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu, the spy intelligence agencies that Xu En once mastered continued to grow and grow. By the middle and late stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan, its scale reached an incredible 200,000 people. Xu En once became the "Agent King" of Zhongtong , which was as famous as Dai Li . Why did such an important person end up being "never hired"? It is worth mentioning that Xu Enzeng's fate is inseparable from Dai Li's encouragement.
fake banknote case
In October 1938, the Japanese army was at the city of Wuhan, and the Kuomintang organs and important materials were urgently evacuated. At that time, Bank of China had a large batch of banknotes that were not transported away, so they had to temporarily requisition a large truck . However, the truck ran out of gasoline when it reached halfway. In order to avoid the pursuit of Japanese troops, the escorts had no time to destroy the banknotes, so they simply disguised themselves and abandoned the car and ran away.
Then when the escort wanted to report from the Bank of China, he said that all the banknotes had been burned. The bank could not verify the bills, so it canceled the banknote number.
However, unexpectedly, the one chasing behind was not the Japanese army, but the spies from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection discovered the sealed car and reported it to Xu Enzeng. After Xu Enzeng learned the news, he immediately sent someone to seal the vehicle and block the news. Then he ordered his subordinates to secretly escort the banknotes to Chongqing, intending to take over the huge amount of money.
However, after the cash transporters abandoned the car, it was not the Japanese army who followed it, but the spies from the Hubei Provincial Investigation Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. After they discovered the ownerless cash transport vehicle, they immediately sealed it and reported it to Xu Enzeng. Xu Enzeng seized it without investigation, intending to monopolize the huge amount of money. But I never thought that the banknotes were checked at the checkpoint along the way.
As for why it was investigated, it was just that after the banknotes were investigated, Dai Li learned the first news and immediately submitted a report to Chiang Kai-shek. The report stated that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection spies smuggled counterfeit money, disrupted the country's financial order, undermined the current overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and had a bad social impact.
When Chiang Kai-shek saw that the people were all captured and there were circumstantial evidence from Bank of China, he was furious and wanted to severely punish Xu Enzeng. Thanks to Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu pleaded for mercy, Chiang Kai-shek decided to give him a lenient move.
The counterfeit banknote case just ended, and Xu Enzeng was involved in the counterfeit banknote case again. It was really a wave that had not been settled and then started again.
counterfeit banknote case
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, when the Kuomintang Central Bank evacuated Shanghai, the copper plate of the printed 10 yuan fiat currency was shipped to Hong Kong Zhonghua Book Company for storage. After the fall of Hong Kong, copper was obtained by Japanese spy agencies and counterfeit banknotes were printed in Shanghai.
At this time, the Japanese spy found Cheng Shifan, a contact person from the Central Commission for Discipline, and planned to compare the price of 1 yuan fake deposit coins with a discount of 40 yuan fake new legal currency. Please help promote it.
Cheng Shifan is a businessman and thinks that this matter is a big profit, so he reports to the higher authorities for instructions. When the report arrives at Xu Enzeng, it is intercepted. He thinks it is a "money-profit" transaction, so he decides to take action himself and ask his subordinates to transport the counterfeit banknotes to Chongqing.
As a result, for some reason, Dai Li learned about this matter again. After Dai Li learned the news, he immediately sued Chiang Kai-shek for colluding with Japanese spy agencies and trafficking counterfeit money.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek was suppressing spies, and his main goal was Dai Li's Military Control Commission . "Some work seems to have excessively huge forces, and we can control it."
Chiang Kai-shek mainly wanted to hit Dai Li, so it is unlikely that Dai Li's lawsuit against Xu Enzeng will have a result. In fact, this is true. Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu's plea, and Chiang Kai-shek did not want to be too concerned about Xu Enzeng, so. The incident was handed over to Secretary-General Wu Tiecheng, Organization Minister Chen Lifu, and Military Law Executive Director He Chengjun .
Needless to say, Chen Lifu has a good relationship with the CC department, so he will naturally not go into it too deeply, but he still has to deal with it on the surface.
Final result: Cheng Shifan was sentenced to eight years in prison. Xu Si was once punished for dereliction of duty and suggested that Zeng, the Minister of Transportation, Deputy Director of the Central Administration Bureau and Deputy Director of the Ministry of Transportation, and other senior and part-time positions should be removed.
Wu, Chen and He know that doing so is nothing more than to settle public opinion and deal with Dai Li for the time being.
Dai Li was naturally dissatisfied with this result, so he would definitely not give up. So he dug out another "Wang Shuqing smuggling case".
Wang Shuqing is Xu Enzeng's second wife and also a knowledgeable woman. After three or four years of marriage, Xu Enzeng fell in love with the female Communist Party member who betrayed the revolution and lived with her.
In order to completely get rid of Wang Shuqing's entanglement, Wang Shuqing acquiesced with his trusted adjutant Li Ziyou, and took out the gold and US dollars that he had originally planned to send his children to study in the United States. At the same time, he used his power to allocate two large trucks and one car to give them to Wang Shuqing, asking her to return to Chengdu to operate the transportation industry.
From then on, Wang Shuqing devoted himself to speculation, smuggling and trafficking in Chengdu, and made huge profits from it. During the process of usury, if there is a dispute over debt issues, Wang Shuqing will rely on the forces of the Central Government to settle the matter, and there will be even coercive death incidents, which greatly affects Xu's reputation.
Xu Enzeng’s two guards, Zhao Boqian and Ge Bingsheng, are top killers and are loyal to Xu Zhong. After learning about the miserable relationship between Li Ziyou and his boss’ ex-wife, they vowed to wash away the stains for the boss and kill Li Ziyou.
This scared Li Ziyou. He was always planning a way to escape, and he considered repeatedly to decide to join Dai Li to save his life. So Li Ziyou joined the Military Control Commission and told the full range of illegal things that Wang Shuqing had done with Xu's power as a gift to Jin Jian.
Dai Li immediately ordered the military command spies to further collect and organize Wang Shuqing's illegal words and deeds according to the clues provided by Li Ziyou. At this moment, a driver of Wang Shuqing's transportation company hit the person to death due to alcoholism, which caused public outrage, which caused a stir.
Dai Li used this "major case" to present the "Wang Shuqing smuggling case" to Chiang Kai-shek, attacking Xu En once instructed his ex-wife to use the special power of the Ministry of Transport to in charge of wartime transportation to smuggle national strategic materials, disrupt the national market, and aggravate the tension in inflation , and condone his subordinates to act arrogantly towards the people, hurt others and cause death, causing great social outrage, and damage the reputation of "party-state" and "leaders".
Chiang Kai-shek was first surprised when he saw this material, and then he was a little bit skeptical, afraid that it was a trap that Dai Li deliberately set up with revenge. So, Jiang asked Xu Enzeng face to face, is there any such thing when your family is competing for profit with the people in Chengdu and forcing someone to die?
Xu Enzeng didn't know that it was Dai Li's report and exposement. He believed that Jiang had learned the situation through other channels, so he felt that the matter was not easy to hide it from, so he had to admit it on the spot.
When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, the content of Dai Li's report was actually the truth. He couldn't help but feel angry and scolded Xu, "You should discipline and discipline me well and don't cause any more trouble."
After the previous counterfeit banknote cases, counterfeit banknote cases, and the current smuggling cases, Chiang Kai-shek was completely disappointed with Xu Enzeng.
1945 preparations for the Sixth Congress of the Kuomintang. The National Government ordered Shen Yi to succeed as Deputy Minister of Government Affairs of the Ministry of Transport, and Xu Enzeng was officially expelled from the government agency.
He is the famous spy leader of the Kuomintang Central Committee. Once the position of deputy head of the Ministry of Transportation is removed, it naturally means that he loses favor in politics.
But unexpectedly, on January 24, 1945, the deputy director of the Central Administration Bureau, who was on Xu Enzeng's head, was also removed one day, and Chiang Kai-shek personally spoke, "Discharge all positions and will never be hired."
However, this is not over yet. On May 5, 1945, the Sixth National Congress of the Kuomintang was held. Xu Enzeng, who was a former member of the Central Executive Committee, attended the meeting. He thought in his mind that now my principal and part-time positions are gone, and only the false title of the Central Executive Committee is left. I guess Mr. Jiang will not take it away again.
On May 19, Chiang Kai-shek, as the president of the Kuomintang, formally submitted a list of candidates for the sixth Central Executive and Supervisory Commission to the Congress, with a total of 480 people. It also stipulates that only 20 of them are separated, and the remaining 460 are newly elected members of the sixth Central Executive and Supervisory Commission. Among these 20 unlucky people, Xu Enzeng was the one.
What Xu Enzeng unexpectedly and intolerable was that while he was completely swept out, it was the CCP traitor Zhang Guotao who ate his vacancy.
I have fought the Communist Party to the death for 15 years, but my final outcome is not as good as that of Zhang Guotao, a traitor of the Communist Party of China.
Chiang Kai-shek's meanness and mercy made people feel chilled when they think about it carefully. At this point, Xu Enzeng realized that although he had made 15 years of contribution, he could not calm Chiang Kai-shek's anger.
The measures that Jiang took against him had reached a state of severance of gratitude and righteousness. Only then did Xu Enzeng truly experience the deep pain of falling out of favor and failure and being despised and forgotten.
After returning from the Kuomintang’s “Six Completes” Conference, Xu Enzeng thought about his life without leaving home and staying behind for more than a month.
Once, Zhang Guodong, a spy from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, went to visit him and chat with him. Xu Enzeng sighed constantly, and thoughtfully told the allusion that the most famous spy in history was Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen in the era of Wu Zetian, and "please get into the trap" and "the rabbit dies and the dog cooks it".
Xu Enzeng expressed to Zhang Guodong with deep emotion that he would not blame others, but only blame Zhou Xing . Lai Junchen knew that the Wu family group had too much privacy, so Wu Zetian wanted to kill them. After saying this, he stared blankly at the ceiling.
Zhang Guodong understood that Xu Enzeng had something in his words, but that the reason why he collapsed was not because of his ineffective anti-communist or his work mistakes, but because he had grasped too many dark stories of the Chiang Dynasty.
was silent for a while, and Xu Enzeng owed her body, and said mockingly that since ancient times, big spies have often had no good ending. Fortunately, the commissioner performed the "kingdom" and praised the "benevolent government" and was very magnanimous to me, and did not lend it to my head. This is really the recreation of the leader, which I will never forget in this life.
Speaking of this, Xu Enzeng patted his forehead with his hand and smiled bitterly, expressing his gratitude that his head was still growing on his neck.
In fact, Xu Enzeng should really feel relieved for himself, and there is no need to be pessimistic and disappointed. Because just over a year after he stepped down, his mortal enemy Dai Li died in a violent death and corpse in the wilderness.
According to historians' analysis, if it were not for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek's resolute suppression of the Military Intelligence Bureau organization, causing Dai Li to be in panic all day long, nor would it lead to the consequences of the destruction of the plane. However, Xu Enzeng could escape this disaster and ended his old age in Taiwan safely at the age of 87.
From this point of view, Xu Enzeng's early step down may not be a blessing. This is really "How can you know that it is not a blessing"?
