On December 9, 1949, the Lu Mansion in Yunnan Province was still brightly lit, and the surrounding area of the mansion was very silent, without a sound, and under the bright lights in the mansion, a group of Kuomintang officers trembled and bowed their heads. And the reason they were so frightened was that in front of them, a group of heavily armed soldiers were raising their guns at them, and one of the Nationalist major generals crossed the crowd and signed his name on an uprising telegram: Shen Drunk. Who is Shen Drunk? Why did Lu Han force Shen Drunk to sign? And why arrest Shen Drunk?
Luján revolted, please enter the urn
In December 1949, under the strong attack of the People's Liberation Army, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Gui were liberated one after another, and the Platon Army approached Yunnan from two directions in the east and north, and the Kuomintang defenders in Yunnan were all day long in fear, except for some remnants of the Kuomintang who were still stubbornly resisting, they continued to march toward Yunnan, trying to hold on, and all the high-ranking Kuomintang officials in Yunnan were transferring property and relatives outward.

Shen Drunk is a very clever big secret agent leader, he understands the current situation in Yunnan, the remaining soldiers can not stop the PACE OF liberation of Yunnan, but he still stayed, in addition to the so-called heavy responsibility of operating a lurking organization in Kunming, Yunnan, that is, he believes that the Kuomintang top level will take him away at the last moment, even if the PLA surrounds Kunming City, he is sure to slip under the eyes of the PLA.
Shen Drunk was the top secret agent of the military command at that time, was one of the four great kings and three great swordsmen of the famous military command, Shen Drunk was known for his young age, old qualifications, and fierce means, and was very good at assassination, transfiguration and escape, driven by such a mentality, Shen Drunk did not take the encirclement of the People's Liberation Army to heart, but what he did not expect was that he would eventually fall into the hands of Lu Han, who had always been despised.
The reason why Shen Drunk looked down on Lu Han, who was the number one military and political leader in Yunnan, in addition to his own strength, was because Lu Han's status and position were not obtained by himself. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, just when China was in ruins and waiting to be revived, Chiang Kai-shek quickly launched a civil war, in order to consolidate his position and completely control the power in his own hands, Chiang Kai-shek put the commander of the Dian Army, Long Yun, under house arrest, not only deprived him of his military and political powers, but also sent all the Dian troops out to fight the civil war, the 69th Army was dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's rule and launched an uprising, and the 93rd Army was annihilated by the People's Liberation Army, so that the semi-independent Dian Army became history.
In order to stabilize the people's hearts, Chiang Kai-shek made Lu Han, a native of Yunnan, the chairman of Yunnan Province, and in order to facilitate control, Chiang Kai-shek did not give Lu Han a soldier and a pawn, a shot and a cannon, and the Kuomintang top brass joked that Lu Han was a light rod commander.
After the Great Armageddon, due to the unstoppable strength of the People's Liberation Army and the precarious situation in the northwest, in order to strengthen and consolidate the defense of Yunnan, Chiang Kai-shek set up an appeasement office integrating military and government in Yunnan, and appointed Lu Han as the director of the appeasement office. This is also the main reason why Shen Drunk looks down on Lu Han, the strength of the two sides is very different, even Lu Han's position is also picked up.
Lu Han had long been dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's behavior, and had been brewing an uprising for a long time, but he had not found a suitable opportunity, and on December 9, 1949, Lu Han received the news that Zhang Qun had flown from Chengdu to Yunnan, and he immediately had a plan, and at noon that day, Zhang Qun was taken to the Lu Mansion by Lu Han and announced to him that he was preparing for an uprising. Lu Han found Zhang Qun's seal and issued an order in his name, asking all kunming military and political dignitaries to arrive at the Lu Mansion in the evening to discuss important matters, and Lu Han also personally sent an invitation to the US consul in Kunming, inviting him to attend the banquet, and then met with Zhang Qun.
Zhang Qun was not only a member of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee, but also the director of the Southwest Appeasement Office, which could be described as a high-ranking and powerful person, and after receiving the notice, Shen Drunk did not become suspicious, but arrived at the Lu Mansion on time, and perhaps this top agent of the Kuomintang did not expect that Lu Han, who was cautious about talking to him on weekdays, would dare to attack him.
Catching turtles in an urn, Shen Drunk is the biggest fish
On the evening of December 9, after the banquet, everyone gathered in the conference room to wait for Zhang Qun to appear, but Zhang Qun did not appear, and the crowd could not help but be a little upset, and Shen Drunk, who was extremely vigilant, suddenly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly got up to find out. But he had just stood up, and a large number of soldiers armed with guns poured into the courtyard, and luhan's guard battalion commander entered the house with more than a dozen people, and loudly ordered his men to disarm everyone. Luhan appeared and announced to the crowd that the uprising had been decided, asking the military and political leaders present to express their attitudes and thoughts.
Looking at the muzzle of the black hole hole in front of them, everyone understood that they agreed that they might die, but they did not agree that they would never see the sun tomorrow, Lu Han explained the facts to everyone, hoping that they could abandon the dark and cast the light, everyone was a high-ranking official of the Kuomintang, the status was respected, how to stand Lu Han's command in front of them, although on the surface agreed, but behind the scenes was a secret scolding, and the reason why they did not resist, in addition to their family property has been transferred, there is also the idea of going out of the Lu Mansion, Quickly fled by plane, there were more than thirty planes parked at Kunming Airport, the seats on them had been booked, and with the equipment strength of the People's Liberation Army at that time, as long as they were on the plane, it was impossible to be arrested.
Looking at the silent crowd, LuHan naturally understood what they were thinking, so he said: "The planes at the airport have all been controlled by me, and you can't go", Luhan's voice did not fall, everyone raised their heads, a look of disbelief, and then they lost their spirits as if they were lost, there was no way, everyone could only sign their names on the documents agreeing to the uprising.
Shen Drunk was the first to come out and sign, he did not give in, but wanted to get out first, even if there was no plane, with his skill and wisdom, no one could catch him at all.
But Shen Drunk just finished signing, he felt a chill in his back, two guns resisted his back heart, took him away and detained him in solitude, Shen Drunk was very puzzled, the uprising where there is such a treatment of high-ranking generals, escorted on the way, Shen Drunk how can not understand, after arriving at the place, he finally could not help but ask: "What is the situation?" One soldier said, "On the orders of Commander Chen Geng of the People's Liberation Army, come and arrest you."
Shen Drunken listened to the stunned, "On chen geng's orders, you are a communist army"? But the People's Liberation Army has not yet reached the territory of Yunnan, how did these people come from, the two shook their heads and did not speak.
Lu Han will be drunk in solitary detention, it seems that there is no problem, after all, Shen drunk is famous outside, very good, high status, great influence, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble, but the Communist Party generally for the generals of the uprising are just let them control their own troops, even if it is some important personnel, it is only house arrest, like this alone detention has never happened, Lu Han decided to revolt, naturally contact with the Communist Party in advance, it is impossible not to know such a thing, what is the reason, Let Luján make such a decision?
First of all, there is Zhang Qun, a member of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee, who has a total of 56 members of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang, who are at the core of power; it can be said that they control the direction of the Kuomintang and arrest a member of the Central Standing Committee, and the blow to the Kuomintang is very large; after being imprisoned, Zhang Qun scolded Lu Han, accusing him of defecting to the Communist Party and deceiving his colleagues.
Lu Han always remembered this kindness in his heart, although he had been insulted by Zhang Qun, Lu Han did not stop it, and finally secretly released Zhang Qun, when Zhang Qun left by plane, the Yunnan underground party members at the time thought that the Kuomintang general hijacked the plane and escaped, so he used a heavy machine gun to strafe the plane, so that Zhang Qun was fortunate that the plane was not hit, Zhang Qun fled to Hong Kong by plane, and then went to Taiwan and settled in Taipei, until 1990, when Zhang Qun died at the age of 101.
Secondly, although Lu Han controlled high-ranking officials in both military and political circles, the Kuomintang army still occupied Yunnan, and although Li Mile and Yu Chengwan were absent, the army still launched an attack on Kunming under the orders of Chiang Kai-shek and eliminated Lu Han, and Lu Han's garrison was not an opponent of the Kuomintang army in any way, and had no choice but to negotiate, and finally reached an agreement, releasing Li Mi and Yu Chengwan to return to control the troops and slow down the attack.
Later, Li Mi led his army to flee to Burma, and there was cholera on the border of Yunnan for 40 years, while Yu Chengwan was to pay severance money and disband the troops, but the soldiers wanted to stay, Yu Chengwan could only delay for one day, and finally, Yu Chengwan was reprimanded by Chiang Kai-shek for his ineffective attack and dismissed from his post and returned to Taiwan. In 1955, Yu Chengwan flew from Taiwan to Hong Kong and wanted to return to his hometown in Guangdong to spend the rest of his life, but he was intercepted and killed by bandits on the way. There are rumors that the bandits were sent by Chiang Kai-shek to kill Yu Chengwan.
Zhang Qun, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee, and the two military commanders were released, and Lu Han was afraid that he would not be able to account to the Communists, so he deliberately detained Shen Drunk to reduce his responsibility and pressure, and Shen Drunk became the biggest fish in Lu Han's hands. Although the release of Li Mi and Yu Chengwan caused some trouble to the liberation of Yunnan, no one expected that Lu Han's behavior would cause a series of events, and the harvest would far exceed the value of Shen Drunk itself.
Bonus, even pot end
In October 1949, the Kuomintang set up a guerrilla command in Yunnan, with Shen Drunk as commander and Su Zique as deputy commander, and in November of the same year, Mao Renfeng personally wrote a letter asking Shen Drunk to stick to Yunnan and unify all operational affairs in Yunnan, and appointed Shen Drunk as the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan guerrilla and promoted to the rank of lieutenant general.
In the face of Mao Renfeng's order to hold on to Yunnan, Shen Zui proposed: If the People's Liberation Army invaded Yunnan, he would lead his men to fight a guerrilla attack in the western Yunnan region, and Mao Renfeng quickly agreed. And these things, Lu Han did not know, he was very glad that he detained Shen Drunk, if he let Shen Drunk go back, plus Li Mi who was released, the two should cooperate inside and outside, and the liberation of Yunnan would pay a huge price.
The most unexpected gain for Lu Han was the arrest of Xu Juyuan, Zhou Yanghao, Guo Xu and other major Kuomintang agents, all three of whom had the rank of major general, Xu Yuanju was the head of the southwest district, Zhou Yanghao was the deputy district chief, and Guo Xu was the director of the manager department of the Secrecy Bureau, and the three of them commanded the core business of the Secrecy Bureau. At that time, Zhang Qun came to Yunnan, these three people were on the plane, when everyone held a banquet at the Lu Mansion, Shen Drunk received xu Yuanju three people, after eating, Shen Drunk received the order to go to the Lu Mansion, Xu Yuanju was scheming, did not follow, until the next day, only to find that Shen Drunk did not go home, the heart was not good, so he grabbed a car and wanted to leave Kunming City, who knew that in the middle of the road, the police station people disarmed and brought to the police headquarters. After Zhou Yanghao came to Yunnan, his heart was not steady, as if something was about to happen, after getting off the plane, Zhou Yanghao changed his clothes and lived at the airport, but as a high-powered agent of the military command, as soon as he arrived in Yunnan, his whereabouts were firmly grasped, and he was quickly taken away by the police team that rushed to Yunnan.
And all this is the credit of Shen Drunk, although Shen Drunk's means are fierce, but he can mix in the Kuomintang until now, and there are few people who can match the grasp of the situation, he knows that if he continues to be stubborn, his fate will be absolutely very miserable, so he confessed to Lu Han the location of Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao, and explained that it must be fast, otherwise these two old foxes will escape, Lu Han hurriedly sent people to arrest, and indeed caught Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao, who were preparing to escape. Then, Shen Drunk personally issued an "Open Letter to comrades of the Military Command", in which he asked the agents in Yunnan to surrender, recognize the reality, and refrain from making senseless resistance.
Luhan was very satisfied with the current situation of the war, but what he did not know was that Shen Drunk had not given it all up, and there were some secrets hidden in his heart, he was waiting for the appearance of a person, a person who could really make decisions, who was this person?
The Kuomintang secret service organization collapsed
Shen Drunk hid most of the secrets in his heart, and the person he was waiting for was Chen Geng, the commander of the Erye Fourth Corps, who led the army to Kunming. In April 1949, Luhan got in touch with the Communist underground organization and arranged for his representatives to discuss the uprising with the Communists, but at that time most of the southwest was still in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek, and Luhan could only stand still, and at the end of 1949, Chiang Kai-shek basically lost control of the southwest region, so Luhan's contact with the Communists became closer and closer, and the battle broke out.
After Lu Han announced the uprising, the remnants of the Kuomintang in Yunnan launched a general attack on Kunming at the behest of Chiang Kai-shek, and Chen Geng also led a large army to launch an attack on the Kuomintang troops. In February of the following year, Chen Gengcai returned to the dynasty and served as the director of the Kunming Military Control Commission.
After hearing that Lu Han had arrested Shen Drunk, Xu Yuanju, and others, Chen Geng was very happy, this was like a thunderous name, after listening to Lu Han finish talking about the situation, Chen Geng was very sensitive to the fact that What Shen Drunk said was not all, Chen Geng originally wanted to go through tricks with this big Kuomintang agent, but due to changes in the international situation, Chen Geng would go to Vietnam and could only give up. When Lu Han saw that Chen Geng was leaving, he quickly asked him how to deal with these Kuomintang agents so that they would not suffer a little.
Chen Geng knew what Lu Han meant, the Kuomintang was very cruel to the underground members of the Communist Party, once it fell into their hands, it was absolutely better to live than to die, and if they were tortured, then their secrets would definitely be revealed. Chen Geng refused, the Communist Party attached great importance to people's dignity, and scolded the Kuomintang bitterly, is it necessary to learn from them today? Chen Geng issued an order to deal with The Kuomintang agents in accordance with the Party's policy instructions and use the Huairou policy to break through their inner defenses.
Lu Han was very impressed after hearing this, he knew that the Communist Party fell into the hands of the Kuomintang, no one could die a painful death, all of them were tortured, compared with the Communist Party, the Kuomintang is simply a hell on earth.
The Military Control Commission interrogated Shen Drunk, Guo Xu, Zhou Yanghao, and others, demanding that they give an honest account and strive for leniency. Shen Drunk was the first to confess, under his report, more than 40 secret agents lurking in Kunming were arrested, and also gave the location and contact information of many secret service action groups; in addition, Shen Drunk also said that he had been in charge of assassination work for a long time, and that Communists and democrats had killed no less than 500 people, in addition, he was also responsible for eliminating The Kuomintang generals who had different intentions toward Chiang Kai-shek. Before the Luhan uprising, Shen Drunk had arranged everything around the Lu Mansion, monitoring his behavior every day, and once the situation occurred, Shen Drunk could kill Lu Han at the first time, and the reason why Lu Han was alive was because Chiang Kai-shek had never given an order. After listening to Shen Drunk's confession, Lu Han broke out in a cold sweat, and the people who were targeted by Shen Drunk were basically dead, and he was so lucky to be alive.
Compared with Shen Yuanju's confession, Xu Yuanju is a person who advocates strength, the interrogation of the Communist Party makes him somewhat unscrupulous, the Military Control Commission learned of Xu Yuanju's personality from Shen Intoxication, immediately changed the interrogation method, with a tough attitude, let Xu Yuanju remember the many tortures he used in the past, if used on him, it must be better to live than to die, and Xu Yuanju, who was frightened, immediately gave an unreserved confession.
According to the information given by these agents, the Communist Party not only knew the Kuomintang's lurking plan, but also mastered the secret agent network of the Kuomintang's latent personnel, and in a short period of time, many relevant departments united to quickly smash and disintegrate the Kuomintang's latent sabotage and ensure the stability of the country and society.
Shen Drunk confessed things to crack the Kuomintang lurking organization has a major contribution, on November 28, 1960 became the second batch of amnesty personnel, is the first of all the detained Kuomintang secret service high-ranking officials were released, after this series of events, Shen Drunk also understood that his behavior is wrong, there has been a great change in thinking, the people's government allowed Shen Drunk to choose the destination, some of the people released in front of him returned to Taiwan, some went abroad, and Shen Drunk insisted on staying in Beijing, until 1996, Shen Drunk died of lung cancer, He was 82 years old.
