On the morning of December 20, 1943. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Tianjin.

A rickshaw stopped in front of the gate of Zhang's mansion, and when the car stopped, a middle-aged woman stepped out of the car, paid the money, and walked to the gate with a suitcase.

The Zhang family's compound was a bungalow, surrounded by brick walls and iron fences. The gate was closed, and the corner door next to it was hidden, and there were two people guarding the gatehouse. The two met the middle-aged woman, and one of them shouted, "Little Miss! Little Miss, you're back! ”

The little lady said: "I'm back, is the second master at home?" ”

The man said, "Yes, at home." I'll help you with the suitcase. ”

The two entered the gate, walked through the garden, walked into the hall, and entered the small living room, and the man said, "Little Miss, you can rest for a while, and I will call the second master." With that, he went out.

The middle-aged woman sat down on the sofa and looked at the small living room: there are fewer calligraphy and paintings, why are there more Japanese paintings?

At this time, a man in his fifties walked in and arrived: "Little sister." You're back? ”

Xiaomei turned her head, looked at this person, and said, "Zhang Bi, why are you, a pseudo-Jicha local senator, and the director of the pseudo-Beiping Public Bureau, staying at home today?" So idle? ”

Yes, this person is the famous traitor in North China, Zhang Bi. The middle-aged woman is Zhang Bi's sister, Zhang Xiuyan

The Zhang family in Bazhou is a scholarly family, and the old lady is a master, and his family is poor, but he is very successful in cultivating children. The eldest brother Zhang Lusheng, graduated from Baoding Normal School, taught in Baxian County after graduation, worked as a primary school principal, gave birth to ten children, and he took on the burden of raising a family. The third brother, Zhang Xusheng, has been working as a farmer at home.

The second brother Zhang Bi did not want to suffer at home, and at the age of eighteen he almost traveled all over the country, and later graduated from the Baoding Military Academy (also known as the Baoding Military Academy) and participated in the Xinhai Revolution.

Later, Yuan Shikai usurped the fruits of the revolution and restored the imperial system, and he followed Cai Yi to participate in the discussion of Yuan, and was named the northern envoy. He didn't have his own army in his hands, so he had to be with Feng Yuxiang and his subordinates Hu Jingyi, Shang Zhen and others. In October 1924, he became the chief of police in Beijing with Feng Yuxiang's coup d'état, and was one of the main figures involved in the expulsion of Pu Yi from the palace and the protection of the Palace Museum.

He had some influence in the political circles of old China, but he had a weakness, that is, he did not have an army.

He had always been at odds with the old Chiang in the south, so he became a target for the Japanese. After the "918" incident, he was once used by the Japanese to participate in organizing a plainclothes riot in Tianjin, demanding "autonomy in North China", but he had already left Tianjin before the riot and did not participate.

The Tianjin Incident was a series of provocations created by the Japanese invading forces in Tianjin after the "September 18" Incident. On November 8, 1931, the Japanese troops stationed in Tianjin attacked the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Municipal Government and the Provincial Government, and instigated the traitors Li Jichun and Zhang Bi to organize more than 1,000 homeless people to launch an armed riot.

Tianjin authorities declared military control and arrested 61 people. On the 9th, the Japanese consul in Tianjin ordered the Japanese army to shell the city at the gate under the pretext that a Japanese platoon commander was killed by Chinese soldiers on the pretext that a Japanese platoon commander was killed by Chinese soldiers.

On the same day, Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to Nanjing to report to Chiang Zhongzheng about the Japanese army's plan for the Tianjin riots. On the 26th, the Japanese army once again attacked the telephone bureaus of the provincial and municipal governments, and put forward unreasonable demands such as the withdrawal of Chinese troops from Tianjin and the absolute ban on anti-Japanese activities. This series of events is collectively known as the "Tianjin Incident".

Historically, Zhang Bi was arrested by the Japanese in April 1944. Zhang Bi confessed nothing in prison, and was later released on bail and left at home. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Bi was arrested and sent to prison by He Yingqin because of his disagreement with Lao Jiang and He Yingqin, and died of illness in prison in 1946 without any interrogation and without conviction of any crime.

In fact, the reason for his arrest by the Japanese was that later, under the instructions of the party organization, Zhang Xiuyan and his niece and daughter did Zhang Bi's work many times, and used his social connections as a cover to carry out underground struggles. This reason cannot be said.

During the Anti-Japanese War, in 1942, Zhang Bi was also invited by the government of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region to serve as a political officer of the border region. In 1943, he rescued Jia Tingxiu, director of the Propaganda Department of the Southern Hebei Regional Party Committee, who had been arrested.

Under the influence of his sister Zhang Xiuyan and his nephews and nieces, he did some work conducive to the anti-Japanese resistance, and a radio station of the underground party in Tianjin was located in his house.

Naturally, these activities of his could not escape the eyes of the Japanese, who had already begun to spy on him.

The youngest daughter of the Zhang family is named Zhang Xiuyan, who refused to bind women's feet since she was a child, and only went to the county town with her eldest brother to study when she was a teenager. Later, she entered Tianjin Women's Simple Normal School. While studying at Jianshi, she met Guo Longzhen, a well-known leader of the student movement, and became godsisters and participated in the May Fourth Movement under Guo's influence. Zhang Xiuyan was a student of Li Dazhao, and under the influence of Li Dazhao, he was influenced by advanced ideas and became an early member of the Communist Party of China.

The ten nieces and nephews of Zhang's brother were also influenced by Zhang Xiuyan and became members of the Communist Party of China from the thirties onwards.

It was Zhang Xiuyan who returned to Zhang's house this time.

Zhang Bi said: "That was a few decades ago, the Japanese are now spying on me, I heard that they are going to arrest me, if I don't make money, you can go to the Japanese prison to see me." Why did you quarrel with me just when you came back? Where did you come back from? ”

Zhang Xiuyan said: "I came back from Shaanxi. ”

Zhang Bi said: "Now your momentum is flourishing, you don't work hard in Shaanxi, what are you doing when you come back?" It's been several years since that North Korean man of yours died, and you should be looking for someone, aren't you anti-feudal? ”

Zhang Xiuyan's husband is Li Tiefu. Li Tiefu was born in North Korea. In March 1919, he actively participated in the "March 1st" movement in Korea and became a student leader. Later, he went into exile in China and went to Japan to study.

After returning to North Korea, Ri Tiefu founded the activities of the Communist Party of Korea. He joined the Korean-Marxist-Leninist League and was elected a member of the Central Committee of the Korean Communist Party at the First Congress of the Communist Party of Korea in the spring of 1926. In February 1928, he was again wanted. He went into exile in China again and joined the Chinese Communist Party in Shanghai.

In 1931, Li Tiefu accepted the assignment to work in Beiping, and after September 1932, Li Tiefu successively served as the Propaganda Minister and Organization Minister of the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China. In 1933, Li Tiefu was arrested. He was released on bail in July of the same year.

At the beginning of 1934, in Zhujia Hutong, near Xiaobailou in the British Concession of Tianjin, Li Tiefu falsely claimed to be surnamed Yang and led the underground party as a Fujianese. There is also a young lady who claims to be a Chinese teacher at Nankai Middle School who is with him, that is, Zhang Xiuyan and his wife, pretending to be husband and wife.

Later, the two got married. In 1937, Li Tiefu died of illness while holding a meeting in Yan'an, and he died in Qingliang Mountain.

Zhang Xiuyan later stayed in Yan'an, during which he went to Xi'an to work. When she returned to Yan'an in 1939, the central government arranged for her to go to the Central Women's Commission. At that time, the person in charge of the Central Women's Commission was Meng Qingshu. She was unwilling to work with Wang Ming and his wife, so she stayed in the Central Organization Department.

Now, history has gone the other way, because her brother Zhang Bi still has a certain influence in Tianjin, Yan'an arranged for her to return to Tianjin, start doing underground work again, and ask Zhang Bi to do work for the liberation of Tianjin.

Zhang Xiuyan was lonely all her life, so Zhang Bi asked her like this.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "Let's not talk about this matter first. I'm coming back specifically for you. ”

Zhang Bi: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Zhang Xiuyan said: "What do you think of the current situation? ”

Zhang Bi: "Your army in the northeast will soon recover Tianjin. I think you will be the ones who will defeat Japan in the future. Compete with Lao Jiang for the world, Lao Jiang is not an opponent. "Zhang Bi is cunning and cunning, he saw his sister coming to Tianjin, and knew that Yan'an wanted to fight for himself. He is now studying the current situation and knows that it is only a matter of time before the Eighth Route Army recovers Tianjin. At this time, it is very promising to do things for Yan'an.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "You have a clear understanding of the current situation, what do you think about your own future?" ”

Zhang Bi: "I'm not worried. In the future, it will fall into the hands of Lao Jiang, I have no army in my hands, and I will be dead. Now it's definitely in your hands, and at least I'll be able to save my life, because I've worked with you. In your words, my mind has changed. ”

Zhang Xiuyan said: "When you started the Tianjin incident, your notoriety was too great. Logically, it is a capital offense. No one can save you. She said this, one was to wake him up and make him realize his sin, and the other was to tell him that he wanted him to make meritorious deeds.

Zhang Bi: "I know, but I've also done a lot of good things. You don't miss the old love, do you? ”

Zhang Xiuyan said: "We miss the old love, so I'm back today." He opened the suitcase, took out a letter, and said, "Take a look." ”

Zhang Bi took the letter, looked at the signature part first, was taken aback, read it again, and was immediately overjoyed, and said: "Mr. Mao wants me to do something, and I am duty-bound to do some good deeds to atone for my past sins." Little sister, is this letter true? ”

Even if he was mentally prepared, he was surprised. Yes, he was influential in Tianjin, but Mao Gong personally wrote a letter and was overjoyed.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "The letter from Mr. Mao I brought back, will it be true?" We'll give you a chance, and it's up to you to take advantage of it. ”

Zhang Bi: "Okay. You are also an old qualified person in your party, and you say, what should I do? ”

Zhang Xiuyan said: "Since you have this attitude, the next step depends on what you do." How to do it, wait for our instructions. Now, you settle my people. You ask someone to take my scarf and go to the back door and look at it, and if someone comes in, invite them in, they are all our people. ”

Zhang Bi arranged for the housekeeper to go.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "The Japanese won't come to you for trouble, they can't take care of you." You take all these Japanese paintings from the house. ”

1, Zhang Xiuyan's niece Zhang Jieqing is Mrs. Peng Zhen. Peng Zhen and Zhang Jieqing first met in 1935, when Peng Zhen had just been released from prison and temporarily lived in the Dayi Society in Beiping. Zhang Xiuyan gradually gained a good impression through the connection between Zhang Jieqing and Peng Zhen. In 1939, Zhang Jieqing arrived in Yan'an, met Peng Zhen again, and the two married in Yan'an in the same year.

2. In 1945, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Bi was arrested for traitor. The Nanjing government's attitude towards traitors is not good if they do not have military power.
