I remember many years ago when I was watching " Pretender ", I was deeply shocked by the corner of Minglou played by Jin Dong. One person could have "military command", organize underground party members, "pseudo government" high-ranking officials, etc. Multiple identities. Not only that, Minglou and are also perfectly switching and using their various identities in the play, or assassinating "pseudo-regimes" and high-ranking Japanese military officials, or sabotaging Japanese military operations, etc., making the audience enthusiastic. Of course, twist is also a part of it.
But while Twist is enjoying herself, she can't help but wonder whether an agent with multiple identities like Ming Lou really knows where his heart is going? The ending of the TV series gave Ma Hua the answer, but at the same time it also brought new doubts to Ma Hua, that is, does such a character really exist in history?
Minglou
played by Jin Dong in the TV series "The Pretender" took this question. Twisted a lot of historical data, and finally found the answer by Twisted. There are not only such characters in history, but also better than Minglou. Exaggerated, this person has five identities. He not only has an identity in the "Military Reunification" and "Zhong Reunion", he is also a high-ranking official in the "pseudo-government", has a position in the Japanese spy agency "Iwai Mansion", and even has an identity in the Shanghai Gang He has an identity in the "Hong Gang", but his real identity is to organize an underground party member. The multiple identities like
provided him with a lot of convenience in obtaining information, but it also made him bear a lot of infamy after the end of the War of Resistance against Japan. The Kuomintang even had to sue him for traitorous crimes. Twice will take you today to take a look at the life of this legendary agent with five identities.
Yuan Shu
Cultural fighter
On March 29, 1911, there was a loud cry from the home of a declining official in the Qizhou town Dongchang Street, Qichun County, Hubei, and a new life was born. He named Yuan Xueyi. At the age of 8, Yuan Xueyi followed his mother to Shanghai to seek refuge with Yuan Xiaolan.
lived with his father like this for 4 years. Due to difficult life, Yuan Xueyi was sent to a printing factory to be a typewriter. However, his father did not give up on training Yuan Xueyi for this reason. Yuan Xiaolan later sent Yuan Xueyi through the relationship of a friend. I went to Shanghai Lida University and studied part-time.
During this period, Yuan Xueyi was not only a worker, but also a student, so he was exposed to many new thoughts. Under the influence of these new thoughts, he participated in the subsequent May 30th Movement, followed the workers’ strikes, followed the students’ strikes, and Changing his name to Yuan Shu seems to indicate that he will become a more special person.
May 30th Movement
In 1927, when the Northern Expedition started, 16-year-old Yuan Shuyi joined the Northern Expedition team without hesitation. He served as the instructor of the Political Department Company in the 18th Division of the 6th Army of the Revolutionary Army. He was one of the youngest officers at the time. Seeing his son's prospects, Yuan Xiaolan also found her old friend Hu Baoyi, hoping to let Yuan Shu join the Kuomintang through his relationship.
However, this relationship did not help Yuan Shu escape the "April 12" huge change. For this reason, Yuan Shu joined the "Hurricane Movement" club, an "anarchist" literary and artistic group at the time. This group was composed of some young people who were more advanced in their thinking at the time. They used art to fight against the dark forces of reality. In addition to publishing weekly magazines and books, they also established an acting department and participated in too many dramas.
hum
Yuan Shu played many roles in these plays. This actor's career laid a solid foundation for him to become an excellent agent. In 1928, due to the situation, Yuan Shu went to Japan to study, studying journalism and Oriental history at Waseda University and Nihon University successively.
During this period, Yuan Shu read a lot of works by Marx and Engels, and gradually changed from an "anarchist" to a communist. After returning to China, Yuan Shu continued to struggle in the literary and artistic circles. In March 1931, Yuan Shu took the 500 yuan that his wife borrowed from her natal family and founded the "Art News" weekly magazine, introducing Chinese and foreign cultural trends from an objective and fair standpoint, and publishing the news of various countries. Progressive literary works, but also special reports to encourage people to participate in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Patriotic Movement. During
, the Kuomintang reactionaries secretly killed the advanced writers Li Weisen, Roushi and others, and strictly sealed the matter. The outside world can say that nothing is known about it. Yuan Shu ignored his personal safety and kept secrets with the organization.He cooperated closely and passed the news to the outside world through many newspapers and weekly magazines. Both Lu Xun and the big figures in cultural circles such as Contradictions once expressed their appreciation for Yuan Shu's wit and courage.
In October 1931, under the recommendation of Pan Hannian, Yuan Shu joined the organization honorably and engaged in intelligence work under the leadership of Pan Hannian. The first task the organization gave to Yuan Shu was to break into the KMT high-level and become a "white-skinned red-hearted radish" intelligence officer. Since then, Yuan Shu disappeared from the progressive cultural circle and began his legendary career as an agent.
Pan Hannian
from scratch to the end with five identities
Yuan Shu at this time can be said to be a "noiseman", can be said to have no clue to intelligence work, but fortunately he is talented and intelligent, everything is a learning Yes, and they do better than some "old predecessors". Pan Hannian is very pleased with this and believes that he has not misunderstood the wrong person.
As he became more familiar with intelligence work, Yuan Shu began his mission. After sorting out, he found that his cousin Jia Botao was a breakthrough. Jia Botao, who graduated from the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, was the president of the Huangpu Alumni Association. , And successively served in the Hubei and Shanghai Garrison Commands. The important thing is that he is good friends with Wu Xingya, the then director of the Shanghai Social Bureau and the head of the "Zhongtong".
Yuan Shu found his cousin and said that he was tired of the days of tumbling in society and hoped that Jia Botao could help him find a job. Jia Botao heard that this was a good thing, so he agreed and found Wu Xingya. Wu Xingya considered that Jia Botao was a celebrity in Lao Jiang and Yuan Shu was also a famous figure in Shanghai. He could use Yuan Shu to reconcile the relationship between various circles in Shanghai, so he happily agreed to this matter.
Wu Xingya
Wu Xingya arranged Yuan Shu to be the chief of the intelligence unit in the "Qianshe" he secretly formed. This position is not high. You must know that the chief of the action unit of the "Qianshe" at that time was the notorious "No. 76". The infamous spy agency's spy chief Li Shiqun . After successfully lurking, under Pan Hannian's arrangement, Yuan Shu quickly made a "great contribution" for Wu Xingya.
Wu Xingya was happy and promised Yuan Shu to arrange for him to be a journalist at "Xinsheng News Agency". This is of course another action by Yuan Shu. He hopes that through this identity, he can get in touch with more and more sophisticated people, so as to be better. To obtain intelligence.
As expected, Yuan Shu quickly got acquainted with Eiichi Iwai, an intelligence officer of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs through this identity. Of course, this was the result of Yuan Shu deliberately approaching. After some contact, Ei Iwai and Yuan Shu's identities were also very different. Regarding the importance, the two "made it together", but Hideichi Iwai did not expect that Yuan Shu's move was approved by the person in charge of the underground party.
So far, Yuan Shu has already possessed two identities. But in 1935, because of the "Weird Westman" case, a Western agent of the Third International, Joseph Walton, was captured by the "Military Control" spy. Although this person did not disclose anything, the "Military Control" spy still passed The clues finally discovered Yuan Shu's identity in the organization and arrested Yuan Shu.
However, because the person in charge of Yuan Shu’s case was Dai Li’s subordinate Wang Xinheng, this Wang Xinheng was already very familiar with Yuan Shu, and after learning of Yuan Shu’s organizational identity, he felt that he could instigate Yuan Shu to lurch in the organization for the "military commander". Its effectiveness, but Yuan Shu did not agree at this time.
Boss Dai
Because of the background of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at that time, the "military reunification" agent did not have any good way to deal with Yuan Shu. He could only be sentenced on the "ideological and cultural crime" of "propaganda and the Three People's Principles are incompatible." Yuan Shu was sentenced to 2 years and 9 months in prison. In the end, all parties tried their best to rescue him, and he left the prison early in the spring of the following year.
Yuan Shu’s dual identities did provide him with a lot of convenience at this critical time. Not only did he organize to find ways to rescue him, but even the leader of "Zhongtong" Wu Xingya tried his best to rescue him, but think about the "Zhongtong" and "juntong" Disagreement is relieved. After
was released from prison, Yuan Shu went to study in the History Department of Waseda University in Japan for another year. During this period, he still kept in touch with Eiichi Iwai, and he also received special allowances from Japanese intelligence agencies, which is undoubtedly a great deal for Japanese intelligence agencies. Great irony.
After the war of resistance broke out, Yuan Shu deliberately approached Hang Shiwu and Hang Shiwu, the leader of the "Qinghong Gang" in Shanghai, in order to obtain information through more channels.For the opposite sex brothers, through Hang Shiwu, Yuan Shu established a friendship with the gang leader Du Yuesheng . In the end, in order to add a layer of protection, Yuan Shu directly joined the "Qinghong Gang" and became able to compete with Du Yuesheng and Jinrong. is a member of the "Tong" generation who sits on an equal footing.
Du Yuesheng
Due to the needs of the War of Resistance, Boss Dai of the "juntong" urgently needed someone familiar with Japan's problems at this moment. He thought of Yuan Shu, and Du Yuesheng, who was familiar with Boss Dai at this time, also recommended Yuan Shu to him. After Yuan Shu learned the news, he immediately found Pan Hannian to report. Pan Hannian told Yuan Shu that this was a rare opportunity and asked him to agree to all Dai Li's requirements.
In this way, Yuan Shu not only possessed the third identity of the "Qinghong Gang", but also successfully entered the "Military Reunification", a well-known Kuomintang intelligence agency, and became a major member of the "Military Reunification" Shanghai District International Intelligence Team. "Gong" was promoted to the leader of the intelligence team.
This is not over yet. In order to obtain intelligence from the "pseudo-government", the organization also asked Yuan Shu to act as a "traitor" and participate in the organization of the "Xingya Jianguo League", infiltrate the Wang pseudo-government, and secretly establish a new intelligence base. This can not only reassure the Japanese, but also obtain intelligence from the "pseudo-government". Of course, the most important thing is that Yuan Shu asked the Japanese to give him a considerable part of the 200,000 military tickets each month. This money will naturally become the Shanghai underground. The party's activity funding is really a good strategy with one stone and three birds with one stone. Yuan Shu has the fourth status.
In April 1938, Japan established the largest public spy agency "Iwai Mansion" in Shanghai. Hearing its name, you know that this agency is in charge of Iwai. The main responsibility is naturally to obtain information about the Chinese defenders. I thought of Yuan Shu for the first time, and Yuan Shu had the last identity after getting Pan Hannian's approval.
Of course, the Japanese did not completely trust Yuan Shu at the beginning, and even sent someone to monitor him secretly. As an excellent agent, Yuan Shu can naturally see this. For this reason, he went to eat, drink and have fun, and was drunk. Life created the impression of Eiichi Iwai as a prodigal son, and finally dispelled the doubts of the Japanese.
Contributions of the "Red Agent"
Covert Front After
had five identities, Yuan Shu began to pass on information about the Japanese army and the "pseudo government" to Yan'an through his multiple identities. Of course, based on the principle of joint anti-Japanese war, Yuan Shu also gave a copy of this information to the "military reunification" and the "central reunification." The most important piece of information is about the "Munich Conspiracy."
Regarding the "Munich Conspiracy", the twist here will not be expanded in detail. In short, in order to transfer the goal of Germany, the British and French powers ceded the Sudetenland of Slovakia to Germany and let Germany attack the Soviet Union; at the same time, in order to protect them in The interests of Far East are prepared to sacrifice our China's interests, and at the same time, it is a conspiracy to suppress our Chinese revolutionary forces. Interested friends can search for it by themselves.
Yuan Shu passed the information to the organization as soon as he obtained this information, and then the conspiracy was made public. The Soviet Union was armed 24 hours in advance after learning it, so that the German army was prepared to strike the Soviet Union in a blitzkrieg with an unprepared attempt to go bankrupt. For this reason Soviet Red Army also specially called the organization to express its gratitude.
"Munich Conspiracy"
Of course, Yuan Shu's contribution to the hidden front is much more than that. After the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, Stalin has been troubled by not knowing the movements of the Japanese Kwantung Army, which made him dare not send troops guarding the Kwantung Army to the west. Moving to Germany, at this time it was Yuan Shu who sent out the information that the Japanese army was going south to war with the United Kingdom and the United States, allowing Stalin to boldly smash the German army. This information was even personally praised by the great man, and he was calling back to Yuan Shu. There are five big "good" characters written in it. In the domestic war of resistance, Yuan Shu made a great contribution. During the Songhu War of Resistance, he personally disguised as a Japanese student to enter the Japanese military position for military reconnaissance, and passed this extremely important military intelligence to the Chinese defenders; the Japanese army was in Qingxiang in Southern Jiangsu. At that time, it was Yuan Shu who relayed information on the deployment of Japanese troops and action plans to Yan'an, which enabled General Su Yu to quickly jump out of the "fence" enclosed by the Japanese and Puppets.
Originally, Yuan Shu planned to assassinate the Japanese and puppet traitor Li Shiqun, but due to the rebellion of Wang Tianmu and , one of the four kings of the "military rule", Li Shiqun was finally allowedEscaped, but Yuan Shu still planned many assassinations of Japanese and Japanese puppet officials and planned to blow up the Japanese naval munitions warehouse in Hongkou as a major general of the “military commander”, which was awarded by Dai Li.
Wang Tianmu
My biggest wish is to live in the sun.
This sentence comes from the corner of the Ming Building in the TV series "The Pretender". This sentence very well illustrates the voice of hidden front workers such as Yuan Shu. They are in the dark. Latent, only to bring a glimmer of light to China's future. Some of them have seen the coming of light, while some have sacrificed on the way forward, and many of them have not even left their names. After the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan, Yuan Shu continued to lurch among the Kuomintang reactionaries and was appointed as the commander of the 5th column of the Loyalty Salvation Army New System Ranger and the station commander of the 3rd station directly under the military command. At the same time, he led the rank of lieutenant general. It can be said that Yuan Shu's position in the national army is already very high at this time, but he has never forgotten that he is the most important identity in organizing underground party members.
In 1946, due to accidentally revealing his identity during work, Yuan Shu was ordered to evacuate immediately. Before leaving, he cleaned up the property belonging to the "Iwai Mansion" and assigned various properties worth nearly 10 million to the organization's name. Many weapons and equipment left by the "pseudo army" were immediately transferred to the Liberated Areas of Northern Jiangsu by him.
National War of Liberation
On October 7, Yuan Shu returned to the organization and changed his name to " Zeng Dazhai ", serving as the director of the First Working Committee of the Liaison Department of the East China Bureau. He was responsible for countermeasures in the Ninghu area of the Kuomintang Control Area. It ended 14 years. The legendary career of "Red Agent". During the War of Liberation, Yuan Shu was engaged in internal work in Northern Jiangsu, Jiaodong, and Dalian. His status was far lower than that of the Kuomintang, but he did not complain, and the smile on his face was obviously much larger than that at that time.
In 1955, Yuan Shu was implicated in the "Pan Hannian case" and sentenced to imprisonment. On August 2, 1982, Pan Hannian was rehabilitated, and Yuan Shu was also rehabilitated on August 29, confirming Yuan Shu’s participation in revolutionary work in 1931. In fact, Yuan Shu's organizational identity was restored.
On November 26, 1987, Yuan Shu died of illness in Beijing and was buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery at the age of 76.
Yuan Shu in his later years
Conclusion
Although Yuan Shu suffered unfair treatment in his later years, he always believed in the organization and that the eyes of the people were discerning. All unjust, false and wrong cases were shining through the organization and the Chinese people’s pragmatic spirit. He was rehabilitated, and the organization and the people did not live up to his trust, rehabilitated him during his lifetime, and restored the honor he had worked hard for all his life.
