If something goes wrong, there will be a demon, and if a person is abnormal, he will have a knife.

At the end of September 1934, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly convened a high-level secret military meeting of more than 200 people in Lushan, Jiangxi Province, to deploy the fifth "encirclement and suppression" strategy.

In the past few days, he has been extremely excited, because he firmly believes that after this meeting, there will be no "banditry in the red zone" forever.

The "iron bucket plan" of the German military adviser Seckt can be described as leaky, and the arrangement of this military operation is also extremely thorough and the scale is unprecedented, and once the plan is implemented, the 100,000 Central Red Army in the Soviet area will be in the bag.

With the ultimate goal of occupying Ruijin, the plan planned to assemble 1.5 million troops, mobilize 270 aircraft, 1,000 trucks and more than 200 artillery pieces, focus on Yudu, Huichang, and Xingguo, weave a tight encirclement with a radius of 300 miles, pull up a barbed wire fence every 1 mile of advancement, build a line of pillboxes every 10 miles, step by step, lock everywhere, and at the same time cut off all communications, close the Soviet area of information, cut off all sources of materials for the Red Army, and plan to spend about a month. A 30-layer barbed wire fence and a 30-layer fire blockade were established to surround Ruijin, and within 6 months, Ruijin was smashed into the red capital, and Ruijin and the Central Soviet District were completely encircled.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek dispatched 12 divisions as bait to attract the main forces of the Red Army and cover up his mobilization of large armies, and the Kuomintang troops participating in the encirclement and suppression had actually advanced to the hinterland of the central revolutionary base areas.

The Central Soviet District and the Red Army were in danger, and their lives hung by a thread.

But on the seventh day after the end of the meeting, detailed information documents such as the deployment of troops for encirclement and suppression, the location of the firepower network, and the departure time of the troops appeared on Zhou Enlai's desk.

On the tenth day, the Central Three-Man Regiment made a decision to break through and transfer accordingly. The Central Red Army began its 25,000-mile long march.

So, who leaked this information? Why did he leak it? Who passed it? What did he go through? What kind of legendary stories do these behind-the-scenes heroes, let's start from the beginning.

Mo Xiong: Risking death to bring back information

This information was leaked by Mo Xiong, then commander of the Fourth Security Command of Jiangxi Province.

The Long March turned out to be because of the intelligence of a "beggar", but the story behind it is more exciting than the novel!

But he is not a member of the Communist Party of China, so why did he risk his life to reveal information?

Mo Xiong, a native of Yingde, Guangdong, was born in 1891 in a poor family of craftsmen. Since he was a child, he has been stubborn and bold, daring to do things.

Once, Mo Xiong and a few naughty students stole fruits to eat, but Mr. did not punish the leader, only punished Mo Xiong. When Mr. hit him on the head with a ring ruler, he rushed up directly and knocked Mr. to the ground, causing quite a stir.

From then on, the private school did not dare to accept Mo Xiong.

After only 3 years of private schooling, he went out to work as an apprentice. By the time he was a teenager, he was so tall that he could single out three or four people.

In 1907, when he was 16 years old, the revolutionary army came to recruit soldiers in the local area, and a rich man did not want his son to join the army. In this way, Mo Xiong replaced the place of the children of the rich family and successfully entered the army.

After graduating from the Army's Lecture Hall, he joined the League and was instructed to join the Forces nouvelles to carry out rebellion work and develop the League organization.

In the decades of military career, he turned to Ning, Lu, Jiangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong Province, brave and good at fighting, repeatedly made military exploits, participated in the famous Huanghuagang Uprising, the defense of the country against Yuan, the crusade against Chen Jiongming and the Northern Expedition War, from a soldier to a general, is a famous general of the Guangdong Army during the Xinhai Revolution, in the Kuomintang has the name of "Brother Mo".

In 1922, Chen Jiongming betrayed the revolution in Guangzhou, he accepted Sun Yat-sen's secret order, formed the West Route Army to fight Chen, became famous in the first war, and was deeply trusted by Sun Yat-sen, which also made him sit in the high position of major general and brigade commander of the Guangdong Army at the age of 32.

The Long March turned out to be because of the intelligence of a "beggar", but the story behind it is more exciting than the novel!

At the beginning of 1925, he participated in the First Eastern Crusade and served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy on the left flank. In March, Sun Yat-sen died. In June, he returned to Guangzhou to quell the counter-revolutionary rebellion of Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan. In August, he was promoted to lieutenant general and commander of the 11th Division of Xu Chongzhi's Department of the Fourth Army of the Guangdong Army, stationed in Shilong.

Xu Chongzhi has worked with Chiang Kai-shek for many years, and he is a brother who has passed his life. However, at the end of September, he took advantage of Liao Zhongkai's assassination case to purge on a large scale, arrested and killed many Cantonese generals, forced out his old boss Xu Chongzhi, claimed that Mo Xiong's 11th Division was a counter-revolutionary army, and disarmed and disbanded it on the spot. Mo Xiong went to Macau alone.

The Long March turned out to be because of the intelligence of a "beggar", but the story behind it is more exciting than the novel!

At this point, Mo Xiong saw clearly the true face of Chiang Kai-shek's renunciation of the "Three People's Principles" and the practice of "dictatorship" in the name of "revolution". As a true believer of Mr. Zhongshan, Mo Xiong was very disgusted by this. Although he has not completely torn his face with Chiang Kai-shek, he is already on the same page for him.

In October 1927, Mo Xiong defected to Zhang Fakui's department as the head of the regiment, and returned to Beijiang to organize the "Einsatzgruppen" to cooperate with Zhang Fakui to oppose Chiang. In July 1930, after the failure of the anti-Chiang campaign, Mo Xiong retired and lived in Shanghai, and finally joined Song Ziwen's disciples. Song found a well-paid idle job for this "big brother" -- the head of the third regiment of the tax police.

At this time, Mo Xiong "coincidentally met" Liu Mufo, the former director of the Political Department of the 11th Division. It was also during this period that his thinking changed dramatically.

Liu Mufo was born in Nanchang in 1893, his ancestral home is Hefei, and he is also a legendary figure. Everyone may be very unfamiliar with him, but when it comes to his sister Liu Hezhen, I am afraid that there are few Chinese who do not know. She is the protagonist of Mr. Lu Xun's "In Memory of Liu Hezhenjun", the pride of Chinese women: Liu Hezhen.

Liu Mufo is a special branch of the Chinese Communist Party. As early as Guangzhou, Mo Xiong was the target of the CCP's key united front, and after being introduced by the members of the League, Liu Mufo came to Mo Xiong's 11th Division.

After some conversation, he found that this person was sober-minded, had novel views, and was progressive in thinking, so he made Liu Mufo the director of the political department of the division. However, after working together for less than a month, Mo Xiong was disarmed by Chiang Kai-shek, and the two broke up.

This time, when Mo Xiong came to Shanghai, the organization sent Liu Mufo to renew the old relationship with him, and the two were also very happy.

Through his introduction, Mo Xiong got to know Yan Xichun, Xiang Younian, Hua Kezhi and other underground members of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai, and established contact with Zhou Enlai and Li Kenong. It wasn't until later that Mo Xiong learned that these were all Communists, among which Yan Xichun, Xiang Younian, and Hua Kezhi were all well-known figures on the Chinese intelligence front.

It was with these people who got along day and night, and went back and forth, that Mo Xiong's thoughts gradually moved closer to the CCP, and later he also proposed to join the CCP. Soon, Yan Xichun brought Li Kenong's opinion, saying that he was "a revolutionary veteran and a faithful believer of Mr. Sun", and Li Kenong said that it is appropriate not to join the party for the time being, because the party needs Mo Xiong to play a greater role outside the party. In this way, he became a friend of our party who remained in the Nationalist Government.

In 1932, when the Songhu Anti-Japanese War broke out, Mo Xiong served as the head of the Tax Police Corps, commanding his troops and the 19th Route Army to fight against the Japanese army. After the armistice, Mo Xiong led his troops to Haizhou, the salt producing area of Huai, and after consulting Song Ziwen and with the consent of Chiang Kai-shek, Mo Xiong sent troops to clear a large number of salt barons who destroyed the salt tax and did many evils. Since then, taxes have increased significantly, and Mo Xiong has been rewarded.

Soon, Song Ziwen unloaded the grind and killed the donkey, handed over the tax police corps to his henchmen, and let Mo Xiong go out to investigate.

In 1933, Mo Xiong lived in Shanghai, and a few months later met Yang Yongtai, the secretary general of Chiang Kai-shek's chamberlain, who was an old friend, and Yang Yongtai recommended Mo Xiong to Chiang Kai-shek to suppress the Communists.

In January 1934, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Mo Xiong as the commissioner and commander of the security of the Fourth Administrative Office of northern Jiangxi.

After receiving the appointment, he said to Yan Xichun:

"Chiang Kai-shek wants me to suppress the Communists, I want to suppress Chiang, I want to beat him in the mouth with his fists," and said, "Please send some communists to join me!" ”

In March, the Shanghai Special Branch of the Communist Party of China sent Lu Zhiying, Xiang Younian, and Liu Mufo to work at Mo Xiong.

At this time, Xiang Younian had assumed the alias Liang Mingde, he served as an intelligence staff officer, Lu Zhiying served as the colonel's chief staff officer, and his wife Zhang Yumin also went to Nanchang to set up a "Zhang Yumin Clinic" as a secret liaison station to cover up.

After Lu Zhiying, Liang Mingde, and others took office, with the cooperation of the local Red Army guerrillas, in less than six months, they deduced the scene of the "communist bandits" being "exterminated" in the De'an Prefecture, won the commendation of "passing the order and commendation, and became the first in the examination," and won the trust of Chiang Kai-shek.

At the end of September 1934, Chiang Kai-shek held a top-secret high-level military conference in Lushan, and Mo Xiong was specially invited to participate in the "suppression of common merit". At the meeting, the fifth "encirclement and suppression" plan for the central Soviet region, that is, the "iron bucket plan," proposed by Seckert and others and already being implemented, was announced. Along with this top-secret plan, top-secret documents such as the "Handbook for Suppressing the Communist Party," troop deployment, and offensive routes were also distributed.

The Long March turned out to be because of the intelligence of a "beggar", but the story behind it is more exciting than the novel!

The meeting lasted a week. As soon as the meeting ended, Mo Xiong rushed back to De'an with top-secret documents. He felt that the matter was very important, although he knew that once he leaked it, he would definitely die, but he still did not hesitate to reveal this great secret to Liang Mingde, Liu Mufo, Lu Zhiying and others.

The three of them were shocked! They fought all night and secretly wrote the documents of the "Iron Bucket Project" on four "student dictionaries".

Liang Mingde: Smash your front teeth and pretend to be a beggar to send information

After discussing it, it was decided that Liang Mingde would send it to Ruijin.

Liang Mingde was entrusted with an important task, in addition to his understanding of Hakka dialect and familiarity with the people and landforms of southern Gansu, more importantly, he has experience and ability that others do not have.

Liang Mingde, formerly known as Xiang Tingchun and Xiang Younian, was born in Liancheng, Fujian Province, in 1896 in an ordinary peasant family.

In 1917, under the influence of his progressive brother Xiang Tingjue, Xiang Tingchun embarked on the revolutionary road and participated in the revolutionary activities led by Sun Yat-sen, and changed his name to Xiang Younian.

In 1921, he joined the Kuomintang. However, he was deeply disappointed by what the Kuomintang and its army had done. While he was hesitating, the Communist Party appeared in his world, and he was deeply moved by the party's ideals, purpose, and outlook.

In 1925, Xiang joined the party, and at the end of the same year, he was assigned to Samarinda and other places in the Dutch East Indies Borneo (present-day Kalimantan, Indonesia) to engage in secret revolutionary activities, and became one of the mass leaders of the local overseas Chinese workers. In October 1927, he was expelled by the Dutch colonial authorities and returned to Shanghai, where he took over the Shanghai Fuyan Primary School as the principal on the recommendation of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee of the Nationalist Government. This school later developed into a cover point for the Central Special Branch.

Soon, he officially entered the special third department.

The Third Central Special Section is the Operations Section, also known as the "Red Team" and "Dog Squad", whose main task is to punish traitors and spies. Because the tasks are relatively confidential and dangerous, the requirements for personnel are also high, and each of them is good at camouflage and has excellent skills.

With his personal wit and bravery, his calm and resolute actions, his infinite loyalty to the party and his accurate judgment of intelligence, Xiang Younian soon became the main member of the special three sections, and participated in a series of major actions such as rescuing Peng Pai and Fang Zhimin, and punishing the traitor Bai Xin.

In April 1931, Gu Shunzhang, the head of the Central Special Branch Operations Section, was arrested and betrayed, and the Shanghai Party Central Committee was put in an extremely dangerous situation. Chen Geng, Li Kenong, and others in charge of the special branch have evacuated Shanghai, and Zhou Enlai and other central leaders and leading organs have also evacuated Shanghai and moved to the Jiangxi Soviet District. Xiang Younian, who was in charge of the secret liaison point of the Military Commission, lurked in Shanghai with his loyal and firm beliefs and witty and calm character. At this time, for the needs of work, he changed his name to Liang Mingde. In March 1934, he became Mo Xiong's intelligence staff officer.

On October 1, 1934, before dawn, Liang Mingde hurried to the Central Soviet District.

In order to reduce the direct contact with the Kuomintang army, he tried his best to go out day and night, avoiding the main roads and crossing mountains and mountains.

However, the identity of Mr. Teaching will still be checked, and several dictionaries are also at risk of being suspected and confiscated. After skillfully evading the interrogation of the Nanchang checkpoint, he found several underground party members and asked them to write down the contents of the document and record it on thin paper at the Nanchang office of the De'an Administration where he was staying, and hide this precious information in the soles of his shoes, and then he continued to set off.

Trekking all the way, the closer you get to southern Gan, the stricter the blockade and inventory.

After entering the Taihe Mountains, almost every village has a bunker, and each hill and intersection is guarded by sentry posts. As soon as a young adult approaches, they will be immediately arrested.

Breaking through the crossing card has become a big problem in front of Liang Mingde.

He thought about it again and again, went into the forest, grabbed a large rock, and knocked out four of his front teeth. He endured the severe pain in his heart, and tore the already torn clothes into ragged "beggars", and used sweat, blood and mud to put on a perfect "beggar makeup" for himself.

In this way, he trekked day and night, skillfully disguised, passed through many blockades, and arrived in the Soviet area in only 6 days, and handed over this document to Zhou Enlai.

On October 10, 1934, the Red Army began a 25,000-mile long march that shocked the world.

The Long March turned out to be because of the intelligence of a "beggar", but the story behind it is more exciting than the novel!

Xiang Nan: I helped my father find himself

Liang Mingde participated in the Long March advance reconnaissance team with the army, but was soon recalled by the Shanghai underground party, and successively engaged in intelligence, united front and local work. He didn't know that his wife had been captured and imprisoned in a foreign country, and he didn't know that his daughter had long since been imprisoned with his wife and was sick with a stubborn illness. As for the whereabouts of his son Xiang Chongde, he also had no intention of taking care of it.

After the liberation in 1949, Liang Mingde was transferred to the Liaoning Provincial Tourism Department as the director of the Agriculture and Forestry Department, and he began to search for his son, who had been separated for nearly 20 years.

Before going to Jiangxi, he entrusted his son Xiang Chongde, who was in school, to his fellow villager Zhang Xuecheng, and Zhang Xuecheng vaguely remembered that Xiang Chongde worked in the Anhui Youth League.

Liang Mingde was very happy and immediately contacted Zeng Xisheng, a colleague who had been engaged in underground work in Shanghai and was the first secretary of the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China at the time, to ask for his help.

The Long March turned out to be because of the intelligence of a "beggar", but the story behind it is more exciting than the novel!

This deduces the touching story of Xiang Nan finding himself.

In 1936, Xiang Dechong was arranged by the party organization to engage in anti-Japanese rescue activities in Changle, Fujian. Later, due to the persecution of the Kuomintang, after the rescue of the party organization and the villagers of Liancheng, he changed his name to Xiang Nan and went to Guilin, Guangxi. Later, Xiang Nan was arranged by the organization to transfer to the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu via Hong Kong.

In 1943, during the rectification movement in northern Jiangsu, Xiang Nan neither knew who his father was, nor what occupation his father was engaged in, let alone what the family made a living, and was almost shot.

At the beginning of 1949, the Central Committee held a meeting of the New Democratic Youth League in Beiping, and Xiang Nan was assigned by Tan Zhenlin to lead a delegation of East China youth. After the meeting, Xiang Nan had to stay in the rear because he missed the southeast detachment's transfer to battle.

During this period, he met Zeng Xisheng, who was then the secretary of the Party Committee of Northern Anhui District. After some talking, Xiang Nan was persuaded to take off his military uniform and go to northern Anhui to work in the Youth League. He first served as the secretary of the Youth Committee of the Northern Anhui District, and later rose to the secretary of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee of the Youth League.

After Zeng Xisheng received Liang Mingde's letter, he searched for a year and found no clues. He was very distressed, and at this time he found Xiang Nan, who was then the secretary of the provincial party committee of the Communist Youth League, and asked him to find a young man surnamed Liang on behalf of his old comrade-in-arms, but he only knew that this young man was a cadre of the Youth League, and he knew nothing else.

But Xiang Younian, who changed his name and surname, knew that his son had also changed his name for the revolution, and he had also looked for his father.

After Xiang Nan accepted the task, he carefully investigated in the Youth League Committee, because the clues were too vague, and more importantly, he helped the old cadre surnamed Liang to find his son surnamed Liang, and made a directional mistake, and there was no result after looking for a year.

In 1952, it had been 20 years since Liang Mingde (Xiang Younian) was separated from Xiang Nan for the last time.

One day, Zeng Xisheng and Xiang Nan went to the countryside to conduct an investigation, and the two met again in the evening.

Zeng Xisheng was fine at the time, so he chatted with Xiang Nan about some things when he worked with Liang Mingde in Shanghai Teke: he often went to Liang's house in the area of the Baxian Bridge in the Great World, and he also took his son to play. I remember that Lao Liang spoke Hakka and was from Fujian.

Hearing this, Xiang Nan was taken aback: he was also from Fujian, and he had also lived in the area of Baxian Bridge.

As the chat deepened, the two were surprised to find that Xiang Nan was the son Liang Mingde was looking for, and Zeng Xisheng was the bearded uncle who had taken Xiang Nan around the big world and looked in the haha mirror!

This is the story of "Xiang Nan looking for Xiang Nan".

In this way, Xiang Nan found his father who had been separated for 20 years, and Liang Mingde also found his son.

It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of the reform and opening up in 1979, Xiang Nan, who served as the secretary of the provincial party committee in Fujian, vigorously promoted the reform and became a figure of the year like his father Xiang Younian.

The Long March turned out to be because of the intelligence of a "beggar", but the story behind it is more exciting than the novel!

Promising the country with one's own life, forgetting one's home without oneself, and sacrificing and dedicating oneself are exactly the admirable spirit of the heroes on the hidden front.

Although the son was found, due to his busy work, the father and son who had been separated for a long time could only pass the book and recognize each other on paper. It was not until 1953 that the father and son, who had been separated for 20 years for the revolution, were able to meet in Beijing.

In 1978, Xiang Younian died of illness at the age of 84.

His legendary experience was later written into a novel and screenplay by his granddaughter Xiang Xiaomi, and the film "Heroes Are Speechless" was filmed.

Other behind-the-scenes heroes: what happened to them

One day in 1951, Ye Jianying called Chairman Mao anxiously:

"Chairman, news has just come from Guangdong that Mo Xiong has been arrested by the local staff in charge of land reform...... I heard that I was going to be shot! ”

The Long March turned out to be because of the intelligence of a "beggar", but the story behind it is more exciting than the novel!

Chairman Mao frowned when he heard this, and immediately told Ye Jianying:

Mo Xiong can't be shot, he must be released immediately! You also have to personally arrange a job for him in the Guangzhou government.

How did the heroes behind the Red Army's Long March become "death row prisoners"? What the hell is going on?

It turned out that after the Lushan meeting, the information brought back by Mo Xiong was not exposed, but because of his "meritorious service in suppressing the Communist Party" in Jiangxi, in March 1935, he was transferred to Guizhou Bijie Administrative Inspector and the commander of the "Suppression of the Communist Party" security guard, and his responsibility was to "encircle, pursue, and intercept" the Red Army on the Long March and the seven or eight thousand wounded, sick and guerrillas of the Red Army who remained at the junction of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan during the Long March. Chiang Kai-shek also transferred the 63rd Division to his command.

After receiving the order, Mo Xiong transferred the original team to Bijie, Guizhou, and continued to "let the Communist Party be in charge" (Mo Xiong's autobiography), Liu Mufo served as the chief secretary, Lu Zhiying served as the colonel's chief staff (he was also a military commissioner in Guizhou appointed by the Central Committee), and even Mo Xiong's private secretary Huang Zhenshu was also a member of the Communist Party.

Not only that, but many important work and personnel arrangements were also decided by Lu Zhiying, so much so that Communists were installed in many departments.

Mo Xiong also worked closely with Lu Zhiying to design and stabilize Chen Guangzhong, commander of the 63rd Division of the Central Army stationed there, so that he could not actively "encircle and suppress" the Red Army and make the wounded, sick and wounded of the Red Army and the guerrillas evacuate in time.

But there was a near-accident. Lu Zhiying and his wife went to pick up a group of wounded soldiers of the Red Army and sent them to the border of Yunnan, only to be chased by a strong enemy. For the safety of the troops, Lu Zhiying snatched the elder brother of the twins, who was only 3 months old and cried out in fright, from Zhang Yumin's arms, rushed to the Xishan Gorge, put him on the branch of a jujube tree, and quickly hid in the dense forest. After a burst of gunshots, the enemy left, and Lu Zhiying and Zhang Yumin exchanged their own flesh and blood for the lives of 8 comrades.

In February of the following year, when the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps were approaching Bijie, Mo Xiong used the false information sent by Lu Zhiying from Zunyi to prevaricate Chiang Kai-shek, and on the other hand, he transferred the security forces out of the city, claiming that they were going to encircle the Red Army, but in fact they were ceding Bijie City, so that tens of thousands of Red Army troops could rest in Bijie for more than half a month, and then pass through Bijie smoothly.

In March, Chiang Kai-shek's successful passage of the Red Army through Bijie became known to him, and Chiang was furious and imprisoned Mo Xiong in the Nanjing Military Department Prison for "ineffective defense of the city" and "suspicion of colluding with the Communists".

At this point, Mo Xiong, Liu Mufo, and Lu Zhiying have been separated since then, and the sky is separated.

After that, Liu Mufo disappeared mysteriously, and it is also said that he was arrested and died in Gannan in 1936, and to this day, it is impossible to verify. This great hero who won over Mo Xiong left behind an unsolved historical mystery to this day.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Lu Zhiying assumed the alias Zhou Yusheng and engaged in underground work in Shanghai under the cover of business, focusing on collecting Japanese intelligence and transporting materials for the New Fourth Army.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he continued to persist in the underground struggle in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou. He broke into the Kuomintang Central Unified Special Service in Shanghai, was appointed deputy director of the district office, and also contacted US intelligence agents in Shanghai. As a result, a large amount of information on the deployment and movement of Kuomintang troops was obtained, and it was sent to the liberated areas of Jiangsu and Anhui in a timely manner.

On the afternoon of March 2, 1947, due to the betrayal of the traitor Zhang Lianfang, Lu Zhiying was arrested, and in the middle of the night on December 27 of that year, it was freezing cold, and Lu Zhiying was secretly killed by the enemy in prison.

Besides, Mo Xiong was imprisoned for several months, and was finally released after being guaranteed by Zhang Fakui and Chen Cheng.

From August 1938 to 1947, Mo Xiong successively served as county magistrate, commissioner, and commander of the "clean-up" in Nanxiong and Shaoguan in Guangdong, and actively cooperated sincerely with the Communist Party to release a large number of Red Army soldiers from prison, arranged for CCP members to hold important positions in his troops, secretly sent a large amount of ammunition and supplies to the guerrilla areas, and cooperated with the guerrillas to severely attack the Japanese army and the Kuomintang diehards.

In 1948, the Kuomintang authorities in Guangdong accused Mo Xiong of "ineffective suppression of bandits" and suspected him of "collaborating with bandits". In July of that year, he was promoted to the provincial government as an advisor.

In October 1949, Xue Yue suspected that Mo Xiong was a Communist Party and put him on an assassination list. Mok Hung learned of this and fled to Hong Kong.

After the liberation of Guangzhou in October 1949, Ye Jianying, in accordance with Chairman Mao's instructions, immediately sent someone to Hong Kong with a handwritten letter to pick up Mo Xiong. In November, he was appointed as the director of the Bac Giang Public Security Committee. He played a role in stabilizing law and order in the big and small Bac Giang.

However, during the land reform period, the peasants of Yingde City did not know Mo Xiong's true identity, so they collectively wrote to the provincial party committee, demanding that Mo Xiong be arrested and criticized, and then executed. The reason is that he was directly involved in the "Fifth Encirclement and Suppression".

So, it happened that Ye Jianying asked the chairman for help, and the chairman ordered Tao Zhu: Keep people under the knife!

In February 1951, Mo Xiong was appointed as the Counselor of the Counsellors' Office of Guangdong Province, and in March 1955, he was appointed as the Deputy Director of the Counsellors' Office of Guangdong Province. In October 1956, at the invitation of Li Kenong, deputy chief of general staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, he went to Beijing to attend the National Day ceremony and was received by Ye Jianying and Li Kenong.

He died in Guangzhou on February 12, 1980 at the age of 89.

Mo Xiong, Xiang Younian, Lu Zhiying, and Liu Mufo were the ones who saved the fate of the Red Army, and they deserved to be the heroes of the revolution. For the sake of faith, truth, justice and light, endure humiliation, sacrifice life and death, and are willing to hide behind history and be an unknown hero, they deserve respect and memory!
