Seeing a large number of high-ranking generals of the Jiang Army lining up to register, He Chunnian, the political commissar of the Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center, sighed to the director: "If this is put on the stage, it will be all generals!" ”
He Chunnian is not right at all, those commanders of the "appeasement zone" and the commanders of the corps are really similar to the generals of the four expeditions and four towns in the Han Dynasty, like Wang Lingji, Wang Yaowu, Du Yuming, Kang Ze and others, and may even be regarded as the generals of the Quartet, Xu Yuanju, Zhou Yanghao, and Shen Zui in the Ming Dynasty, it seems that they are also equivalent to Jinyi Wei Qianhu and commanders, although they are not the commanders of all cities, but they are just a little bit worse.
These generals and lieutenant generals of the Jiang army, before they were captured, built a tooth to open a mansion to show off their might, and once they were captured, they were like defeated roosters, thinking about whether they could survive all day long.
After entering the war criminals management center, except for a few who can still roll their necks and roll their eyes, the vast majority of them are seriously studying and reforming, and are striving for amnesty one day earlier, among which the five "big bulls" who have left a deep impression on us can stack up to one person high, and we can also find their differences in the memoirs of relevant personnel.
The five "big bulls" we are going to talk about today, one general and four lieutenant generals, are basically the "princes of a town" under Lao Jiang and Dai Li, or they are in charge of a province or several corps, or they control the spy organizations of one or several provinces, and the lives and deaths of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people have been in their thoughts, and if they surrender earlier, the losses of both sides of the war will be greatly reduced.
These defeated generals went to the war criminals management center and did not dare to argue with the management personnel, but within them, there was a chain of contempt: the regular army looked down on the miscellaneous army, the miscellaneous army also looked down on the spies, and those who had been traitors were looked down upon by everyone - we watched the TV series "Amnesty 1959", Cai Shouyuan shouted "I am a war criminal, not a traitor", and Kang Ze said that he was "a regular general captured on the battlefield and not a special agent", all of which have historical basis.
Cai Shouyuan's historical prototype is the Gui cadre, the compass general, the deputy chief of the Central China Military and Political Chief's Office and the commander of the Third Corps Lieutenant General Zhang Gan, which is familiar with the history of the reader knows that when it comes to the general in the "Five Great Bulls of Gongdelin", everyone will guess that it is naturally nicknamed "Wang Lingguan", Wang Lingji, who has served as the commander of the Seven Appeasement Areas, a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, the chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Government, and the chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Government - he is the oldest in Gongdelin, and his life skills are almost none, and even his beard has to be "suppressed" in Xuzhou Du Yuming, deputy commander-in-chief of the lieutenant general and director of the advance command, scraped for him, in the Northeast dialect, "Wang Lingji is an old cow"!
Wang Lingji has the highest military rank and the oldest, and readers also know what the "Central Executive Committee" is equivalent to, so Wang Lingji is the "old cow" of Gongdelin, and even Zeng Guangqing, who is known as "Brother Guo", can't help but nod - Wang Lingji is nine years older than the biggest student in the first phase of Huangpu, and he has been "talking about the same geng" with Lao Jiang in the past, and he slapped Lao Jiang because he robbed a woman.
Wang Lingji is old and has a big temper, so Gongdelin's general-level war criminals coaxed him to come, and Shen was drunk in "What I Saw and Heard in the Reform of War Criminals": "Wang Lingji has always been arrogant and looks down on people, plus he had the title of general when he was a Beiyang warlord, and most people listed him as one of the eight generals in Sichuan." He was upset and thought he was more qualified than everyone else. He loved to kill, especially when he was the commander of the Chongqing garrison, killing the most people. When he was the commander of the Third Division of Liu Xiang's Division, he also killed many people. Therefore, the people of Chongqing and Wanxian County called him 'Wang Lingguan' behind their backs, which meant scolding him for being fierce and evil. ”
Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao bit whoever was arrested in the war criminals management center, but they didn't dare to bite Wang Lingji, because Wang Lingji had been in charge of these big spies when he was in Sichuan, and many things, without Wang Lingji's nod, Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao, the chief and deputy heads of the Xin'an Special Economic Zone of the military command, would not be able to do so, plus Wang Lingji was old and old, and whoever wanted to make him angry would definitely be severely punished.
Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao caught who bit whom, Shen Zui didn't suffer less from them at first, and finally they "released their suspicions" with Shen Zui The reason is very interesting - Shen Zui is the first "social cow" in the war criminals management center, no matter whether he is familiar with it in the past or not, whether he has a holiday or not, he can finally make friends, and Shen Zui is also very satisfied with his social cow ability: "I am an idle person, I wander around when I have time, and I love to tell jokes, so I go to every group to hang out, of course, I will hear some strange things." When I heard it, I loved to spread it. ”
Shen Zui spent most of his time as a spy only serving the living Hades King Dai Li, and he was naturally comfortable dealing with those straight-tempered Jiang Jun, not only did he laugh with Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu and other military bigwigs, but later Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao also began to smile at him - Xu Yuanju Zhou Yanghao's reason for "not remembering the old evil" is very simple, they ate the pastries brought by Shen Zui and spent Shen Zui's money, which is called eating people's soft mouths and short hands of people, Shen Zui is quite proud of this: "In order to eliminate the anger of Xu Yuanju and others against me, I used to transfer clothes and money to them [when I was in the Kunming Army Prison]...... When I was sent to the building (from Kunming to the Bai Mansion in Chongqing), Xu Yuanju, Zhou Yanghao and others were pleasantly surprised to come around and ask questions, they had been escorted to Chongqing a few months earlier. Xu Yuanju saw that I was carrying a box of dim sum in my hand, so he happily snatched it over and said, 'This is not bad, today is my birthday, and I also brought a box of dim sum.' As he spoke, he opened the box and ate it. ”
Speaking of the "Sheniu" Shen Drunkenness, we have to clarify one point, that is, before he was arrested, he was appointed as the "Lieutenant General Commander of the Yunnan Guerrilla General Headquarters," and it is not entirely accurate to say that he was the head of the Yunnan Station of the Secret Bureau.
According to Shen Zui's recollections, among all the general-level war criminals in the Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center, the greatest "power" was Wang Yaowu, the commander of the Second Appeasement Zone and director of the Kuomintang's Shandong Provincial Party, Government, and Military Unified Command of the Kuomintang, chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, provincial security commander, and commander of the Shandong Military Administrative Region -- he was a member of the study committee and an old scalper recognized by everyone: "There is also a study committee member above the leader of the study group, which is directly led by the person in charge of the management center, and Wang Yaowu is a member of the study committee, and he is indeed conscientious and responsible and truthfully reflects problems. It is trusted not only by the leadership, but also by all the 'classmates (war criminals are called each other)'. ”
Wang Yaowu worked hard and complained, and Shen Zui said that he was cautious in his words and deeds everywhere, never talked nonsense, and never complained, so he could gain more and more trust from the cadres and the respect of his classmates. It is precisely because of Wang Yaowu's diligence, loyalty, and honesty that he was able to be amnesty in the first batch, which can be regarded as a good person, right?
Wang Yaowu is "loyal and honest", drunk and clever, and the cattle have their own characteristics.
Among the more than 100 general-level war criminals in Gongdelin, the most fierce is Wen Qiang, deputy chief of staff and acting staff officer of the Xuzhou "Suppression General" Forward Command, who is the historical prototype of Liu Anguo in "Amnesty 1959", but Wen Qiang in historical materials is much stronger than Liu Anguo.
Wen Qiang recalled in "Oral Autobiography" that as long as he wrote a letter of repentance, he might not have to wait for amnesty to get out, but he resolutely did not write: "I can write anything, but I don't write a letter of repentance." I have always loved the country and the people, and I have never done anything bad, if I hadn't left at that time, I'm afraid I would have been without me today, I have a clear conscience. A few days later, I was asked to write a letter of repentance. I think I'm the twenty-third grandson of Wen Tianxiang, but I just don't write! Thus it took me twenty-six and a half years before I was pardoned. ”
As stubborn as Wen Qiang, there is also a lieutenant general Huang Wei of the 12th Corps, this person's temper is on par with Wen Qiang, Shen Zui recalled: "After Huang Wei was captured, a young cadre of the People's Liberation Army asked Huang Wei why he did not obey the order and surrendered early, Huang Wei lost his temper and scolded the cadre, and the cadre left angrily. There were also a few war reporters who wanted to take pictures of them, but they couldn't do it many times, because they didn't want them to take pictures, and these reporters were also very annoyed. ”
Huang Wei's name was originally on the first amnesty list in 1959, but because he was too good to give anyone face, he was crossed out again under many objections.
Wang Lingji, Shen Zui, Wang Yaowu, Wen Qiang, Huang Wei, this one of the four lieutenant generals each has their own cattle method, and the ending is very different, if you want to ask them who is the best, this question is really difficult to answer, we have to ask from another angle: These five "meritorious forest bulls", if they are placed in the Han Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, what position is basically equivalent to?
