In November 1936, the weather in Guangzhou was a little cooler. This year's autumn solar term came later, but it still made people feel comfortable. Compared with the hot and humid summer, the temperature in Guangdong and Guangxi in autumn and winter is pleasant, neither too cold nor too hot.

Zhou Hua looked hurried, holding the previous investigation report in his hand, which was a follow-up investigation on the military and political situation in the Northwest and the assassination of Yang Yongtai.

The Red Army of Hongmen has passed the Long March. Both the fighting will and organizational form are completely transformed and have undergone drastic changes from the past. During the arduous journey, fanatical beliefs have been accumulated by patience and death and have been condensed into a terrible momentum.

He gingerly knocked on the wooden door of Zhong Yang's study, and Zhou Hua straightened his clothes and dressed in a simple and capable Hanfu, which was tailored very well. He perfectly outlined the tough and sharp aura in his thin body.

"Come in." The ethereal voice of Zhong Yang's words came from the house, and Zhou Hua came in response.

"President, the intelligence information in the northwest region has not been fully investigated yet. However, Zhang Hanqing has frequent contact with Ji Shaoshan and Ma Ziren from Hongmen, so there may be a secret discussion."

Listening to Zhou Hua's statement, Zhong Yang secretly calculated that if this time and space are not much different from the original history, then the next thing will definitely be the so-called Double Twelve Incident. It is estimated that Zhang Hanqing colluded with the Red Gate to force Jiang Ruiyuan to fight against Japan in advance. He felt that the army was becoming stronger and stronger, and he was afraid that there would be no more days for the Northeast Army to rise.

"Well, hurry up and investigate this matter, don't let it go. How can Yang Yongtai be investigated?"

When talking about this, Zhou Hua was prepared for a long time. At this time, he immediately replied in detail and was still investigating within the party. However, I think this is not the result of the struggle within the party. Whether it is Wang Zhaoming, Hu Hanmin, or Er Chen, they have no courage to attack Yang Yongtai decisively."

"This is exactly what I am worried about. This assassination force hidden in the shadow is also a great hidden danger for us." Zhong Yang's eyes flashed slightly, and he half-squinted his eyes. He didn't like such individuals or organizations who were keen on using assassination to achieve political goals.

From ancient times to the present, those who have not achieved great things by assassination will instead ruin a great situation. In the country and the people, they all emphasize interests and the general trend of the hearts of the people. With such conspiracies and tricks, they will only let blood flow in vain.

After picking up the report handed over by Zhou Hua, Zhong Yang became more and more frightened as he read it, and he felt helpless about these thugs who were full of patriotic thoughts.

According to the investigation of the external intelligence forces in the underground palace, it was learned that the organizer and initiator of the "Chinese Youth Anti-Japanese Wildness Elimination Group" was named Chen Youguang. In 1932, this person participated in the "Chinese Youth Association" and "Southwest Revival Society" organized by Jiang Ruiyuan's will.

Perhaps because of this, later generations speculated that this incident was caused by the internal struggle of the Party. Anyway, this kind of incident has not happened for the first time. Sun Yixian used this shameful method many times in the era of Sun Yixian.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is actually hard to make sense. Assassination of others is also said that it is impossible for Jiang Ruiyuan to sit idly by. Although Yang Yongtai has a very poor reputation in the party, or the political and academic department competes for power with other factions, some people even think that Yang Yongtai is suspicious of Jiang Ruiyuan.

However, in fact, there are only about 40 people in the Department of Political Science and Technology, and they are all civil servants and politicians without soldiers or generals. How can Yang Yongtai fight for power? How can Yang Yongtai's bad interpersonal relationships within the party and the military, and sometimes a single military advisor arouse Jiang Ruiyuan's suspicion?

For such a person, to provoke Jiang Ruiyuan, who is in full swing and openly challenge the majesty of the national government, I am afraid even Erchen himself would not dare to be so bold.

But Chen Youguang is obviously a madman who is not afraid of death. He is distorted by his ideas in his heart and does not care about Yang Yongtai's identity and significance to the entire party and regime, and dares to assassinate him.

Jiang Ruiyuan also shot the foot. He used the fanatical nationalist concept to brainwash these young people, but now he cannot call on these people to obey the political arrangements of the government, and ultimately ruined his power and status.

Yang Yongtai's death was an important watershed in the party and regime. Cao Cao lost Guo Fengxiao and eventually suffered a defeat in Chibi. Jiang Ruiyuan lost Yang Yongtai at such a sensitive moment, and he would be betrayed like the Xi'an Incident soon after.

It turns out that God's will is unpredictable. Jiang Ruiyuan, a chess piece arranged by Buddhism, was eventually abandoned by the general trend.

In 1933, at the end of the third phase of the Lushan Officer Training Corps, Chen Youguang talked with his colleagues about the argument that "they must first calm the country before fighting foreign countries." Unexpectedly, it was heard by the training chief Kang Ze, which aroused Kang Ze's dissatisfaction and proposed to impose internal discipline.

Seeing this, Chen Youguang was worried about an accident and lost his position as political instructor of the Fourth Battalion of the Lushan Training Corps in the autumn of 1933 and fled to Shanghai by name.

At that time, the Japanese army was attacking China in a crazy manner, launching the "September 18th" and "October 28th" incidents and occupying all the Great Wall. In this series of events, the Nanjing authorities resisted slightly or did not resist at all, and adopted a compromise and seeking peace; they did not punish the pro-Japanese factions within.

The barbaric invasion of the Japanese army, the pro-Japanese faction and the actions of the authorities aroused the patriotic and national salvation movement of the Chinese nation, and various anti-Japanese and national salvation organizations emerged openly and secretly; the "Chinese Youth Anti-Japanese Traitor Elimination Group" was born in early autumn 1935 under this situation.

It can be said that the Party first supported these underground organizations of all sizes, but later it could not be restricted and was eventually burned by this fanatical flame.

During his reclusive years in Shanghai, Chen Youguang felt the shame of foreign aggression and was influenced by the growing anti-Japanese sentiment, and hoped to make a difference in fighting against Japan.

At the same time, he was deeply infected by the style of a knight-swordsman in history, so he chose a path of personal heroism. For this reason, he lobbled through his acquaintance and contacted more than 10 young men and women, including Xiao Peiwei, Liu Zhennan, Xiang Yingchang, Qiu Jiyu, Xibai Zhou, Chen Kuichao, Wu Bing, Ni Liga, Shen Yanbing.

We have formed a consensus on "internal corruption and external troubles" and believe that if we want to resist Japanese invasion, we must first eliminate traitors within.

After the establishment of the "Chinese Youth Anti-Japanese and Elimination Group", it began to carry out a number of specific preparations for the anti-Japanese and elimination of elimination of elimination.

The information obtained from the underground palace investigation is relatively detailed, but it is thanks to various intelligence personnel with high-tech micro-equipment sneaking into the party and obtaining a lot of this information. After sorting and analysis, many information that even the party has not yet been clearly defined has been integrated from it.

The history of the "Chinese Youth Anti-Japanese and Anti-Rampant Group" was recorded in detail in the documents, making Zhong Yang clear at a glance.

It turns out that when it was just established, the key to whether this organization's anti-Japanese and anti-corruption work could be carried out lies in funding. It is quite difficult to raise funds because it cannot openly seek help from others and has no source of income.

Later, it was the young female girl Ni Lijia who donated more than 3,000 yuan she saved over the years. At the same time, Ni mobilized her girlfriend Ms. Zhou to provide the basic activity funding for the "Radical Elimination Group".

Then, through his close friend Yu Jianzhong, Chen Youguang found a Shandong man employed as a chef in Belarus. He bought 5,000 yuan for counterfeit "Bank of Communications" in Belarus for 30 yuan.

This counterfeit currency is made very realistic, and ordinary people cannot distinguish between these two funds, and the activity of the "Chinese Youth Anti-Japanese and Anti-Trait Group" entered a substantive stage.

Seeing this, Zhong Yang maliciously speculated whether this was the Soviet Union's counterfeit currency tactic against the party, because such incidents have also occurred within the Hualian League. The spearhead after the investigation was also directed at the Soviet Union, as well as the Soviet dogs of the Red Gate leftists.

First, they began to prepare for the essential weapons of the anti-traitor activities. After searching around, the weapons were actually obtained from the Party’s capital military police headquarters.

The member of the "Traitor Elimination Group" Shi Baizhou used his relationship with He Ruichu, the battalion commander of the Gendarmerie Command, to buy 4 brand new German Browning pistols and 400 rounds of bullets for 800 yuan.

Zhong Yang had to shake his head and sigh as he read this passage. The Party strictly controlled the possession of weapons among the people. However, in fact, there were many people who could buy guns except for the poor who were too poor to afford to eat. These weapons resold from the army and were then used to assassinate the senior military and political leaders of the National Government, which is really ironic.

After having the weapons, the "Chinese Youth Anti-Japanese Traitor Elimination Group" determined to list Wang Zhaoming, Yang Yongtai, Tang Youren, Huang Yu, Zhang Qun, Li Zeyi and others as their targets. The focus was on Shanghai, Nanjing and Wuhan where the Japanese were frequently active.

Before the "Chinese Youth Anti-Japanese and Anti-Radical Group" began to take action, the fanatical patriotic journalist He Jun of Guoguang News Agency assassinated Wang Zhaoming at the Central Party Committee of Nanjing on November 1, 1935, causing Wang Zhaoming to be injured.

After Wang Zhaoming was assassinated, the pro-Japanese faction who was in charge of peace became more active. In order to combat the pro-Japanese faction, after repeated discussions, members of the "Chinese Youth Anti-Japanese Traitor Elimination Group" determined that Tang Youren, the deputy director of the government's foreign affairs minister who "colluded" with the Japanese, would be the first target of assassination.

After the target was determined, members of the "Trait Elimination Group" began to investigate and understand the relevant situation of Tang Youren. Before killing Yang Yongtai, Tang Youren became the first target.

At that time, they also went to the surroundings of Tang's apartment to observe the terrain and environment. A house next to Tang's apartment was empty waiting for rent. They immediately rented the house for a lot of money, installed it, purchased furniture, and asked all members to go in and out to get cars for transportation to avoid suspicion from neighbors, especially the Tang family.

In order to find out the appearance of Tang Youren, the members of the traitor group took some effort.

After everyone gave suggestions, they realized that in order to attract business, the photo museum in Nanjing had magnified images of celebrities hanging in the window. So they sent Xiao Peiwei to Nanjing to get photos. Xiao went to Nanjing for a few days to move to Nanjing and got all the photos of other assassinated targets identified by the traitor group, but only Tang Youren and Li Zeyi could not get them.

In desperation, the traitors had to take the approach of being a stubborn eye; through a period of observation, Tang only returned to Shanghai once or twice a week, mostly on weekends, his clothes were luxurious, and he had bodyguards and entourages when he went in and out.

On December 24, 1935, Tang had returned to his apartment in Shanghai and went out by car at around 3 o'clock. The traitor group pretended to be the newspaper office and called Tang Mansion, confirming that the person who had just taken the bus was Tang Youren.

So the anti-traitor group immediately started to take action and arranged the arrangements. Soon, a car with a black license plate was rented for preparation for action. At this time, the black license plate in Shanghai was a private car and the white license plate was a taxi.

At around 4 o'clock, Liu Zhennan, a member of the traitor group, Qiu Jiyu hid in the car next to the Tang Mansion (it was rented in advance, waiting for Tang Youren to attack when he returned to his residence.

At around 6 o'clock, Tang Youren returned to his residence on Shidong Road from Wangzhai on Anhesi Road. As soon as he got off the car, he had not yet climbed the stone steps at the back door of the apartment and was shot by Liu Zhennan and Qiu Jiyu, and Tang died immediately.

After shooting the Tang Dynasty, the members of the anti-traitor group immediately took the car that was ready to park nearby and drove to the British Concession. All members immediately moved to the safer Guangzhou.

In the summer of 1936, the anti-traitor group returned to Shanghai and started their intensive work again.

During this period, Liu Zhennan and Qiu Jiyu were investigated by the Second Special District Court of the French Concession and sentenced to death. The organization was not exposed until its death. Although these people were fanatical, they were not ambitious politicians. Even though what they did not necessarily do correctly, their beliefs and will have to be thoughtful.

It is a great blessing for a country to have such young people. Their love for the motherland is not false at all. But with more people like this, it is also a misfortune for the country and the people. A distorted soul, no matter how much power it has, cannot create a future.

After assassinating Tang Youren, members of the traitor group decided to take Yang Yongtai, the chairman of Hubei Province, who is known as the "soul" of the Department of Political Science, as the second goal, and designate Xiao Jinwu to Wuhan to be responsible for various specific preparations.

With Zhang Qun as the third goal, Wu Bing, a young woman who was designated to live in Nanjing, used various conditions to prepare. Although Xiao Jinwu did a lot of work after arriving in Wuhan, the progress was not ideal.

Therefore, most of the other members of the anti-traitor group gathered in Wuhan to step up preparations. There were many people and strong forces, so it was soon investigated that Yang Shuitai lived in Sanjiao Street, Wuhan.

Therefore, we learned that there was a hospital not far from Yongtai’s residence, which was the only place to go to the provincial government and an ideal place to operate. So after detailed discussions, the internal members decided to take action here, and decided to wait for action here on October 15, 1936.

On that day, the car Yang Yongtai was riding was blocked by a yellow car prepared in advance by the extermination team at the entrance of the hospital. The car was forced to park in the road for about half a minute. Unfortunately, the operation staff slowed down a little, delaying the opportunity to fight and failing to achieve their goal.

The "Chinese Youth Anti-Japanese Traitor Elimination Group" then moved the operation site to Hankou because during the reconnaissance, Yang Shi often crossed the river to Hankou to do business.

At around 2 o'clock on October 25, 1936, Yang Yongtai and his wife crossed the river from Wuchang to Hankou, but the wind and waves were high at that time, and Yang did not take the separate ferry and took the ordinary ferry instead.

At this time, in addition to the usual guards, Yang added 4 armed police escorts, and they were all very vigilant, and the traitor group could not take action. After Yang got on the bus at Hankou ferry, the four armed police returned to Wuchang.

Just after 5 o'clock, Yang took a car back to the ferry terminal, got off the car and walked down the stone steps of the dock with his wife. At this time, Gong Baizhou, Chen Kuichao, and others rushed forward and shot Yang Yongtai several times in a row. Yang fell to the ground immediately.

The leader of the "New Policy Department" who vigorously advocated the easing of Sino-Japanese conflict and "to calm the country before fighting foreign countries", ended his life like this. His wife was so scared that she was stunned, and Yang's guards were at a loss.

On the riverside, people on the dock heard gunshots and ran around. Gong Baizhou and Chen Kuichao took advantage of this chaos and retreated according to the scheduled route. However, Chen Kuichao was in a hurry and ran in the direction. He was arrested when he arrived at Jianghan Road.

Although Gong Bozhou successfully arrived at the predetermined location, he was safely transferred to Nanjing. He was later captured and escorted to Wuhan. It was precisely because of the two people's arrest that the intelligence workers lurking in the underground palace were able to intercept the information of the Central Commission for Intelligence and obtained such detailed confessions.

Tang Youren and Yang Yongtai were assassinated, which shocked Jiang Ruiyuan. Dai Li, Yang Hu and relevant organizations were strictly ordered to investigate, and the actions of the "Chinese Youth Anti-Japanese Traitor Elimination Group" were seized.

Gong Baizhou, who was directly involved in the assassination, was sentenced to death by Chen Kuichao, and Chen Youguang, the adopted son of the head of the "Rampant Elimination Group", was arrested and confessed. Wu Bing, who was in charge of investigating Zhang Qun's behavior in Nanjing, was also captured by the Nanjing Military Police Command. Other members who survived were exposed, had to escape in a hurry because the organization had been exposed.

Chen Youguang fled and then hid in the remote countryside in southwest Guizhou, and the "Trait Elimination Group" disappeared invisibly. Although the "China Youth Trait Elimination Group" existed very short and had very few people, it successfully organized the assassination of Tang Youren and Yang Yongtai, which to a certain extent hit the pro-Japanese and fear of Japan-related emotions that were permeated in the country, especially among the upper-class people in the party at that time.

But the same thing is said: Although the military system is red, Jiang Ruiyuan still has a smart mind and knows how to plan the current situation, and is not just weak to Japan.

The fact that the currency reform was secretly announced was mainly to avoid angering Japan too much. However, it was spread to the bottom, and the propaganda department of the Hongmen said it was a compromise with Japan or even surrenderism.

The deaths of Tang Youren and Yang Yongtai were actually tragic. Among them, Yang Yongtai's death had the worst impact, which directly shakes the foundation of the central government.

In China, people like Chen Youguang who are so crazy that they lose their minds are certainly not a minority. This is especially related to Jiang Ruiyuan's vigorous promotion of the party-state spy system, and also the brainwashing of the scope of ideas, which is also the fundamental reason for the frequent occurrence of such incidents.

To a certain extent, Jiang Ruiyuan was also blamed and could not blame others.

After reading the contents of the report, Zhong Yang did not speak for a long time, and Zhou Hua was waiting beside him, and he also said nothing. Both of them had thoughts in their hearts. Such uncontrollable factors must be eliminated, otherwise one day, the officials of Hualian would be treated the same.

For the country, the most important thing is order and stability, and it must be built on a reasonable way of resource allocation. If you encounter problems, resort to force and use the slogan of chanting and fighting and killing. These are all barbaric actions and are not what a real Chinese should do.
