The true biography of Yaqiao, the first chivalrous king of the Republic of China

Chapter 37 Jinhua Ham Leaks Its Secret

On this day, departing from Shanghai and taking a riverboat, two gorgeously dressed ladies came to Xingzi County at the foot of Lushan Mountain. They hired two skaters to go up the mountain, followed by two men carrying luggage and Jinhua ham.After leaving the station and entering the mountain, after many checks, the lady talked and laughed freely, and smoothly sent Jinhua ham to the Lushan New Hotel and handed it over to Hua Kezhi.

These two ladies were dressed up by Wang Yaying and Liu Xiaolian.

Before going up the mountain, Zhu Dagang bought four extra-large Jinhua hams according to Wang Yaqiao's instructions, hollowed out the ham meat with a dagger, packed the disassembled parts and bullets of two German pistols with butter paper, and stuffed them into the hole , filled with minced meat, and then sealed with salt mud, without X-ray perspective, it is not easy to see through with the naked eye.

When Wang Yaqiao handed over Jinhua Ham to Wang Yaying, Liu Xiaolian and others, he did not make any explanation.They were all kept in the dark, and facing the interrogation, their expressions were naturally reasonable.

After receiving the "gift", Hua Kezhi immediately understood.Right in the room, he took out his weapon.That night, in order to prevent being discovered, he deliberately discarded the used Jinhua ham in a secluded valley far away from the Lushan New Hotel.

Winning or losing does not matter.

On the evening of June 6, Liu Gang and Hua Kezhi met Wang Yaqiao and reported the failure of Lushan's assassination of Jiang in pain.

It turned out that after receiving the bullets, the four were divided into two groups: Liu Gang and Hua Ke were in one group, and Chen Cheng and Zhang Siming were in the other group.Due to Chiang Kai-shek's presence, the castle in Taiyi Village was heavily guarded, and outsiders could not enter or leave without a special pass; two groups mixed with tourists and lingered on the mountain roads near Taiyi Village, hoping that Chiang Kai-shek would go out of Taiyi Village on a whim. Take advantage of his unpreparedness and kill him.

Taiyi Village is located under the South Taiyi Peak of Lushan Mountain, with an altitude of more than 1000 meters.Leaning against Jiuqi Peak and Qingliangjian on the left, Hanpo Ridge and Baishui Cao on the right, swaying bamboo forests, murmuring pines and tinkling spring water, it is like a fairyland.According to legend, this was once the place where the ancient Taoist master Taiyi practiced to become an immortal. In 1922, Zeng Wangui (former Major General Commander of the Eighth Division of the Guangdong Army, former Director of the Lushan Administration Bureau) and Gu Layer Bing (a native of Meizhou, Guangdong, a professor of Sun Yat-sen University) traveled all over Lushan Mountain, looking for a place to build a villa, and compared them several times. , select this place.Therefore, mainly Cantonese generals, under Taiyi Peak, Chiang Kai-shek’s Yuequan Villa, Zeng Wangui’s Wanan Villa, Serious Tongsong Villa, Chen Cheng’s Songzhuang Villa, Cai Tingkai’s Sanliu Nest Villa... like after the rain Like mountain mushrooms, they are scattered among the green trees of Taiyi Peak.Because the owners of the 18 villas are all generals, Taiyi Village is also called General Villa Village.

On June 1931, 6, the weather was sunny and the haze was like silk hanging on the mountainside of Taiyi. It was a good day for sightseeing in the mountains.Early in the morning, the two groups split up and waited for "Jiang".

During the Republic of China, there was a folk song in Mount Lu: "The proud go to Guling, and the frustrated hide Taiyi." Chiang Kai-shek loved Lushan for 10 minutes, and built several villas in Guling, Taiyi and other places.According to statistics, from December 1926, when he first climbed Lushan Mountain, to August 12, when he left Lushan Mountain for the last time, in 1948 years, he went to Lushan Mountain 8 times and stayed on the mountain for 13 days.Because he loves mountains and mountains, he also called Xuedou Mountain in his hometown "Xiaolu Mountain".

Back then, when Chiang Kai-shek stayed at Yuequan Villa in Taiyi Village, he was indeed in a bad mood.After the success of the Northern Expedition, although he jumped from a low-status president of the Whampoa Military Academy to become the chairman of the National Government, the commander-in-chief of the National Army, the chief executive, and the minister of education, the party leaders Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin did not buy him much. His account always plays against him in everything and everything.This time, he put Hu Hanmin under house arrest. Originally, he wanted to kill a chicken for the monkeys to see. Unexpectedly, the sky was angry and people complained. Under house arrest in Tangshan, he ran to the gate of Chiang Kai-shek's official residence, put his hands on his hips, and cursed loudly, using both Cantonese and Mandarin, and there were huge crowds of onlookers.For a while, there were gossip in the streets of Jinling City, and Chiang Kai-shek lost face, but there was nothing he could do.That's why he fled to Mount Lushan in the name of summer vacation, so that he would be out of sight, out of mind, and clean in his ears.

On that day, Chiang Kai-shek had lived in Taiyi Village for more than ten days. He had seen the famous places in the village, such as Jiuqi Peak, Tianshubi, Jiuqi Pavilion, Taiyi Palace, Guanxi Pavilion, Yunwu Cave, and Colorful Waterfall, etc. several times.The weather is good today, and he is in a good mood. He ordered to go out of the village to see the scenery on the spur of the moment.So, I took a pair of "two people carrying" sliding poles, walked out of the village, and wanted to have a look at the reading platform.At this time, it was more than 9 o'clock, and Chen Cheng and Zhang Siming were waiting by the mountain road that Chiang Kai-shek must pass.Last night, Zhang Siming suffered from the cold while sleeping, his stomach was uncomfortable, and he had diarrhea. He went to a hotel far away to go to the toilet; Chen Cheng was alone "watching" under a big tree.When Zhang Siming heard a few muffled gunshots, he lifted his pants and ran back. Chen Cheng was gone. On the mountain road, there was a pool of blood and a shoe worn by Chen Cheng.He knew that the situation was not good, so he hurried to find Liu Gang and Hua Kezhi.After the three people discussed, they felt that Chen Cheng must have been in danger. The assassination of Chiang Kai-shek had been exposed.Therefore, the three made a decisive decision and immediately went down the mountain.

Wang Yaqiao listened to the report, with a livid face, without saying a word, smoked a cigarette silently, and sighed: "Fight the grass to scare the snake, 'Caotou Jiang' must strengthen precautions in the future. You and Zheng Baozhen will go to Nanjing separately, and you will guard the pier , Be true to the Forbidden City Airport, once you find 'Caotou Jiang', you must kill him! Otherwise, how can I explain to my friends?"

However, Chiang Kai-shek was also an assassin, and his personal precautions were very strict.In order to prevent the enemy from plotting, he did not take a riverboat or a special plane to Lushan Mountain, but took a seaplane, took off from Xuanwu Lake, and landed at Poyang Lake. , The seaplane landed on Xuanwu Lake and returned to the presidential palace by speedboat. Outsiders could not get close at all. This assassination failed completely.

After many years, people heard the truth about Lushan's failed assassination.It turned out that a dog in Taiyi Village brought back a ham, and was seen by a plainclothes guard of Chiang Kai-shek, who snatched the ham that had been chewed by the dog. He was surprised to find that the ham had been hollowed out by someone, and there was still a smell of butter in the hollow. .Butter is used to clean guns, and he naturally thought that someone had secretly transported guns to Lushan Mountain.So he reported to Dai Li.In order not to disappoint Chiang Kai-shek's play, Dai Li didn't say a word, but ordered the guards to strengthen their guard and be ready to fight at any time.

When the generals on Lushan went out, they were guarded by guards in front and back. The forest was dense and the mountain roads were winding, so it was difficult to distinguish them.

That day, when Chen Cheng suddenly saw a team of sliding poles approaching, when he saw clearly Chiang Kai-shek sitting on the "two-carrier", he jumped to the mountain road and raised his gun to shoot; Cheng's body was beaten into "honeycomb".Chiang Kai-shek wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and when he learned that the assassin had no documents on him, he ordered his subordinates to keep silent, buried him quietly, and returned home by himself, never daring to take a single step out of Taiyi Village.
