Chapter 12: Yao Xijiu's Political Persecution

It is said that my grandfather received a telegram and immediately returned to Shijiazhuang from the Chengdu Military Academy, although Li Gan was not at home, and analyzed that he would inevitably go to Harbin for revenge. After being introduced by my grandmother, my grandfather thought that the Japanese Kwantung Army was responsible for this murder case. In order to be prepared, I had to move back to my hometown in Linfen, Shanxi, and considering that there were many people in the family, and my aunt and uncle were still in school, they planned to stay in Shijiazhuang with my fifth grandmother temporarily, and wrote a letter to Qiqihar, in which they instructed my father to pay attention to the safety of his family and not to participate in military politics.

My grandfather instructed his friends in Shijiazhuang to escort his family, including Li Gan's son and Jiang Peng's family, to his hometown in Linfen, Shanxi, and he himself returned to Chengdu Military Academy to report.

However, not long after my grandfather returned to Chengdu, he received an urgent telegram from Linfen: my mother was seriously ill and returned quickly. When he returned to Linfen to bury the old man, someone suddenly came to submit an order from the Ministry of National Defense: Rui Youban was instructed to go to Tokyo with Air Force Commander Yao Xijiu to negotiate.

At that time, my grandfather wondered how Yao Xijiu could be in league with the traitor government because he was under the jurisdiction of Wang Jingwei of the Nanjing government, and he belonged to Chiang Kai-shek of the Chongqing government. Disobeying the order was to be court-martialed, and when the order and exhortation were ineffective, a military vehicle suddenly drove in and brought more than 20 soldiers, and the officer explained that it was time to leave immediately, and asked his grandfather to accompany him in the car in the form of kidnapping. For the safety of the whole family, my grandfather took my fourth grandmother into the car, and the whole family went out to see them off, but they were blocked by the soldiers.

On the evening of the same day, Li Gan came to Rui's house, saw that there was a guard guard, he did not rush into the house, and waited until late at night to climb over the wall, although he met with his family, knew the crisis of the situation, and after studying with everyone, he escaped from the dark passage at night, but he never expected to be found by the soldiers, Li Gan fought with guns, only rescued my sixth wife and his son, not only other Rui family members, etc., together with his and Jiang Peng's family were all killed, and in an emergency, he had to go to a relative's house for refuge without mentioning.

My grandfather and my fourth grandmother were taken to the airport by a car, dined with a general and his attendants, and boarded the plane that night. However, as soon as the plane entered Japanese airspace, it was shot down by antiaircraft artillery, and the bones of my grandfather, my fourth wife, and all the people on the plane were left behind, and the bodies fell into a foreign country in Japan. To this day, it is a historical mystery that will remain unsolvable, and my grandfather, despite having eight wives, was not conclusive in the end.

According to the political persecution, there are many doubts, Shanxi Airport was under the jurisdiction of the warlord Yan Xishan, and it should have been led by Chiang Kai-shek, because of the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang was detained, Yang Hucheng was assassinated, and Ma Zhanshan did not carry out Chiang Kai-shek's civil war, and his grandfather was removed from the Chengdu Military Academy. According to the historical background, Chiang Kai-shek cooperated with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to resist the war after the Xi'an Incident, and he would not send people to Tokyo to negotiate? This should be the mastermind of the traitor Wang Jingwei who saved the country?

Either it was done by Yao Xijiu in Harbin, who was a Japanese puppet traitor, and his grandfather not only shot his Hou Qi's brother-in-law in Mudanjiang, but also defrauded Ma Zhanshan of a large amount of armaments, silver taels, vehicles, and horses, and continued to resist the Japanese, and almost killed his dog for this, especially Li Gan fraudulently killed his nephew Hou Chengcheng, who by fraud of gold bars, so he took revenge? But Yao Xijiu is not an air force general, where did he get the secret order of the Ministry of National Defense? Or is he pretending to be Ma Xijiu, an air force general of Wang Jingwei's government? Otherwise, I would never have murdered my grandfather and created two murders in Harbin and Linfen.

Whether this is true or false was the dispute between Wang Chingwei and Chiang Kai-shek's regime, or was Chiang Kai-shek the act of ruling out dissidents? All doubts are unknown. In short, this political incident originated from the most important person in power, and it was by no means a bloody case of private vendetta. Although in 1946 Chiang Kai-shek executed General Yao Xijiu as a traitor by joining Wang Jingwei, and in the same year the Harbin government also shot Yao Xijiu as a traitor and bully, I don't know who was the mastermind behind my grandfather's death.

My grandfather's last letter to my father is also a suicide note: my father was not allowed to participate in military politics, and gave four of our brothers names, the eldest one was called Dayuan, the second daughter was named Huiying, the third was called Daya, and I was named Dapeng before I was born, all of which my mother, uncle, and grandfather told me, and my grandfather's letter and testament can prove that my grandfather not only forgave my parents for their free marriage, but also named our four brothers.

After my mother's death, I wrote to find my aunt for more than twenty years. In 1983, I received a letter from my aunt and sent me six old photos of my family, including a photo of my grandfather returning from Moscow in Harbin in 1923, with my aunt's handwriting behind the photo, a photo of my brother going to Shijiazhuang in 1953, a photo of my brother and uncle, my grandmother, uncle, There are photos of my brother and aunt holding her child, there are photos of my aunt and uncle, there are also photos of my parents and my brother and sister, and there are also my father's handwritten treasures in the back: this image was taken in the Fularji Shengji Photo Museum in Longjiang Province, on March 25, the 32nd year of the Republic of China, this Chinese New Year's Eve years old, Wenxiu was 29 years old, Dayuan was 6 years old and was born on September 1, and Huiying was born on April 8 and April 3 years old, so it can be seen that there was no third brother and me at that time.

When I received the letter, I cried when I saw those photos, what a precious six historical photos! Not only did I see the photos of my grandfather, grandmother, father, aunt, uncle, second sister, and third brother whom I had never met before, but my grandfather and father were so handsome and chic in glasses, suits, and windbreakers, and how I missed my late mother, who left us at the age of 47.

When I see the old photos from decades ago, it seems that I have returned to the happy family of that era, but why do I want to return to the city today, why is it so difficult to lose the hukou, and why did I become a true or false educated youth in the past? All this comes from the history of the family, from the fact that my grandfather was the Kuomintang. In particular, when I joined the group at Qiqihar Railway Middle School, I honestly filled in the form, that is, my grandfather had eight wives written in the form. To join the regiment is to be loyal to the historical background of the family, and for this reason, he became a burden and even the object of dictatorship in the movement, and spent more than ten years of hardship and hardship in the regiment as a true and false intellectuals and counter-revolutionaries.

The reporter asked, "Have you ever seen your relatives after receiving a letter from your aunt?"

Dapeng said: "I met my aunt and uncle when I went to Datong and passed through Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, when I was retaliated against for reporting the crimes of corrupt officials and accusing foreign illegal journalists at the Qiqihar Air Force Aviation School after returning to the city. ”

The reporter said: "Then you should start with your brother after your mother's death." ”

Dapeng said: "A person's life is spent in ups and downs, who dares to say that he has never made a mistake? It's just the size of the problem, today the country advocates anti-corruption, which can be said to be unprecedented in history, so many provincial and ministerial-level cadres and horses, even the previous Politburo Standing Committee member Zhou Yongkang and the vice chairman of the Military Commission Xu Caihou have been found out, which shows the determination of the party and state leaders to fight corruption. Now that I am nearly seventy years old, I propose to you the history of my family predecessors, which contains many ** and anti** storylines, so to speak, it is the history of the family and the country and the nation. That is, in another hundred years, our world will still live in the struggle between ** and anti**.

For example, in our world, not only is the struggle between good and evil happening all the time, but there is also an odious war happening all the time. Whether it is politics or economics, or the conflict of interests, it all comes from truth, goodness and beauty, falsehood, evil and ugliness, even in each of our families or everyone's life path, there will be corrosion, corruption, decay, and imperceptibility, which is why I want to complete the work of "Anti-Corruption", so that I can write my life with a real portrayal of life. I also came through the struggle between ** and anti**, so let's start with the memories of my first love that I mentioned earlier. ”

Dapeng also recalled the memories of history after his stepfather and brother fought a lawsuit due to his mother's illness.
