Fu Zuoyi in the list of war criminals
On February 25th, 1948, 1948, our party published a long list of war criminals, including Fu. This list has caused some confusion. Fu was confused because he was already in close contact with our party and had the intention of surrendering to our party. Why do you still regard him as a war criminal? What should he do if he rebelled? After all, he is also the object of the Kuomintang's wooing, and Fu himself didn't quite understand when he heard that he was on the list. He secretly guessed that this decision was definitely not signed by Chairman Mao, and it was probably an own goal made by a group of young cadres of the Communist Party of China. In order to find out what was going on and not to be a war criminal inexplicably, Fu contacted a man of insight who was closely related to our party through various channels, and heard some analysis from him. That is, this time, Fu finally became suddenly enlightened, just like clearing the clouds, and his confusion about our party suddenly vanished.
It turned out that the situation in China was not completely clear at that time. As a pivotal figure, Fu has many Kuomintang spies inside and outside Beiping to monitor his activities day and night. And because he is a senior general, he wants to take refuge in * * *, which is also a rebellion for the Kuomintang. Chiang Kai-shek of the Kuomintang knew about him long ago and that he had left. Chiang Kai-shek himself was not a very kind person. When the incident happened, I knew that he had killed General Yang. Even Zhang Xueliang, whom he always valued, was directly under house arrest by him. As a man like him, if he doesn't do things for himself, he will kill people quickly. So if Fu really takes refuge in * * * directly, he may kill Fu, not only to get rid of Fu, but also to let his own army take over the control of North China. Now our party has included Fu in the list of war criminals, which directly restricts Chiang Kai-shek's attempt to destroy Fu.
In fact, if we look closely at this list of war criminals, we can find that this list is really not just those who should be spurned and condemned for their crimes. Some people's names appear on this list for protection. Besides Fu, there is another person who seems not to be included, and that is Wei and Wei, who have been under surveillance and are in danger. If it weren't for his inclusion in the list of war criminals, Chiang Kai-shek could not relax.
In order to make Fu understand this painstaking arrangement of our party, don't let this negotiation and cooperation have twists and turns because of wrong judgment. Chairman Mao, who was far-sighted, specially arranged Xinhua News Agency to add such a sentence to the radio: "It is impossible for Fu to escape from cracking down on crimes and escape punishment, but it is still possible to reduce punishment." This sentence is a straightforward reminder. In addition to this prompt, in order to express Fu's meaning more clearly, so that he didn't have doubts about this matter, he also arranged underground party personnel to send information to Fu's daughter, so that Fu's daughter suddenly realized and explained the reason to her father. Fu finally gradually relieved.
What happened to Mayor He Siyuan?
In fact, this protection of Fu by * * * is really not redundant, but of vital significance. Just at first, Fu didn't find this meaning. Later, it was discovered that * * * was really trying to protect him. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek's retreat during the War of Liberation had made him a little impetuous. From the beginning, he was able to confront * * * on the frontal battlefield. An insidious and cunning secret trick, fooling around anytime and anywhere, revealing fangs and armor to those close to * * *, everyone with discerning eyes can see that Chiang Kai-shek is out of his mind, and he is a bit cynical. The experience of a family of five former Beiping mayors is a typical example.
1948 is drawing to a close, a great day is coming, the new China is about to be established, and the new democratic revolution is about to usher in the most precious victory. At that time, our party not only continued to play the role of leadership and mobilization among workers and peasants, but also played the role of a democratic United front, uniting all localities and classes and making them accept the trend of progressive thinking. Therefore, many political celebrities and university professors also actively participated in the peaceful and democratic movement. He Siyuan, the former mayor of Beiping, was also involved. He is a figure who has a lot to do with the Kuomintang and is the father of He, the former chairman of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Kuomintang.
During the period of 1928- 1946, he served as director of the education department of Shandong province and chairman of the Shandong provincial government.
1946 1 1 was appointed as the mayor of Beiping by the Kuomintang government, but although Fu was in the Kuomintang, his heart was towards democracy and freedom and breaking feudalism. Even when he was very young, he had participated in several progressive movements to break feudalism, and then he joined the Kuomintang because he believed that the old democratic revolution led by the bourgeoisie was still possible. However, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek's actions of betraying the country for glory, disregarding unity, splitting the motherland and cracking down on progressive youth gradually raised a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart. He felt that he couldn't stand the perversion of the national government any longer, so he began to change his mind and quietly did something against the national government. These things made him the target of Chiang Kai-shek. 1in April, 948, he was almost killed by Chiang Kai-shek's spy in Jingshan East Street. Later, in June of 1948, he was removed from the post of mayor of Beiping. Later, * * * reached a cooperation with He Siyuan, hoping that He Siyuan's reputation would promote the peaceful liberation of Peiping.
1949 65438+1October 17, He Siyuan held an important dinner and invited many famous people to attend. Originally, it was a beautiful gathering to promote the development of Peiping, but Chiang Kai-shek held a grudge against He Siyuan and gave him an extremely vicious deterrent, which made him pay a heavy price on this day. Chiang Kai-shek's spy was buried in the flint near He Siyuan's home, which triggered. Six people were killed and five were injured, but this incident also inspired more people to resist Chiang Kai-shek, because everyone saw the cruelty and viciousness of Chiang Kai-shek's government, and he would do his best to eradicate dissidents at all costs. Such people are chilling.
It was because of the destruction of the He Siyuan family that * * * realized that in the final stage of the confrontation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, in order to peacefully liberate North China and reduce more bloodshed, it was imperative to take more measures to protect those who were targeted by Chiang Kai-shek because they were willing to cooperate with * * *. They are all brave and have backbone. They are not afraid of death, but they should try to avoid bloodshed in the revolution. Not afraid of affecting peace operations, but * * * itself attaches great importance to human rights and everyone's life. Therefore, after careful consideration, our party has taken some measures to include Fu in the list of war criminals. Such a clever way reduced the probability of Fu targeting Chiang Kai-shek and prevented similar incidents from happening in Fu.
History is constantly moving forward. Only by summing up historical experience and lessons can we finally get more valuable results, maximize the allocation of resources and avoid invalid sacrifices. I once read a book called First Frost, but when I read it, I only thought it was a tragic story in a peaceful era. In this book, no one has suffered the pain of life and death, but the pain of being forgotten by the times and abandoned by glory. The old general never lost to the war and the enemy, but to the changes of the times and society, like a layer of frost covering his heart. This kind of story is quite modern, but it is too complicated to write human nature. This makes me disagree. I don't think things are so sharp, but now that I think about it, shadows and light always go hand in hand. There is a shadow side, but there is also light. Just like those people in the war years, they abandoned darkness and turned to a bright future. When they witnessed the ugly side of Chiang Kai-shek's government and resolutely threw themselves into the arms of * * *, every step they took was very important.
