(11) Notes to Chapter 74
Note 1: Wang Yaqiao. National hero and anti-Japanese martyr. He was born in Hefei, Anhui, with the courtesy name Jiuguang. He was known as the "No. 1 Assassin of the Republic of China", also known as the "King of Assassins". He participated in the Revolution of 1911 in his early years and planned an uprising for independence in Hefei. After the failure, he went into exile in Shanghai.
He met Jing Meijiu, a professor at Peking University who advocated "anarchism" in China, and was deeply influenced by him. In fact, later on, Wang Yaqiao focused on assassinating big warlords and big bureaucrats because he was influenced by anarchism.
In 1921, Wang Yaqiao took over the Anhui Association in Shanghai and called on Anhui workers to join the association to fight against the exploitation of capitalists and the oppression and bullying of the concession government. Because in every action, Wang Yaqiao and his men were armed with sharp axes, so they were nicknamed the "Axe Gang".
Even Huang Huangrong and Du Yuesheng during the period were afraid of giving in. During the warlord melee, Wang Yaqiao actively contacted the Southern Revolutionary Party and organized a series of assassinations that shocked the country, including the assassination of Xu Guoliang, director of the Songhu Police Department, and others.
In the process, Dai Li and Hu Zongnan became friends, and the three became sworn brothers.
After the "April 12" counter-revolutionary massacre, Wang Yaqiao witnessed Chiang Kai-shek's perverse actions, wiped out Mr. Sun Yat-sen's three major policies, and abandoned the Northern Expedition. He then began to plan anti-general activities.
After assassinating Anhui warlord Chen Tiaoyuan, Wang Yaqiao returned to Shanghai and started a fierce battle with Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin. Wang Yaqiao sent people to blow up the backyard wall of Zhang Xiaolin's house at night, and sent hundreds of people with sharp axes to sweep across Du Yuesheng's territory and followers. Finally,
Du and Zhang had to ask Huang Jinrong to mediate and take the initiative to apologize, and the matter was settled.
In 1933, Wang Yaqiao formed an "iron-blooded anti-traitor group" to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek. At this time, in order to expand his army to deal with the anti-Chiang forces in the southwest, Chiang Kai-shek ordered a nationwide trial of the "rice donation" plan to increase fiscal revenue. Wang Yaqiao then held an opposition protest meeting.
He sent out telegrams, went to major cities to petition, and launched a strike by rice merchants in Anqing and other places. This forced Chiang Kai-shek to cancel the "rice donation" plan.
Chiang Kai-shek subsequently declared the "Anhui Society in Shanghai" an illegal organization and ordered Dai Li to closely monitor Wang Yaqiao.
After that, Wang Tieqiao planned the assassination of Chiang Kai-shek in Lushan and the assassination of Song Ziwen. After the Anti-Japanese War in Songhu began, Wang Tieqiao summoned his troops to form an "Anti-Japanese Death Squadron" to assist the national army in the war. During this period, he bombed the Japanese navy's "Izumo" and destroyed the Japanese army's supply train.
, assassinated senior Japanese general Yoshinori Shirakawa, causing a sensation throughout the country.
In the autumn of 1933, Chiang Kai-shek failed to win over Wang Yaqiao through Dai Li, so he offered a million-dollar reward to hunt down Wang Yaqiao. Wang Yaqiao left Shanghai for Hong Kong and left a letter with Dai Li before leaving to express his break with him.
After that, Wang Yaqiao organized many assassinations of Wang Jingwei and other traitors. The bullet fired in one of the assassinations caused Wang Jingwei to die of poison nine years later.
In October 1936, Wang Yaqiao originally planned to go north to the anti-Japanese base area. However, his subordinate Yu Likui was arrested by Dai Li. Dai Li forced his wife Yu Wanjun to contact Wang Yaqiao and lured Wang Yaqiao to Wuzhou, Guangxi. On October 20, Wang Yaqiao rushed to Wuzhou and just entered
The door of Yu Wanjun's house was covered with lime by the agents. Wang Yaqiao's eyes were mesmerized, but he still fought to the death with the agents. He was shot five times and stabbed three times, and died on the spot. The agents cruelly peeled off his face.
When retreating, Yu Wanjun was killed and silenced.
Chairman Mao once commented on Wang Yaqiao: He is not guilty of killing the enemy, but he has made meritorious service in resisting Japan. He is impolite in small matters, but he is not confused in major matters.
Note 2: In real history, after Wang Tianmu rebelled in Shanghai and surrendered to the enemy, he betrayed the military-controlled Qingdao Station. Fu Shenglan was the station chief of Qingdao Station at the time, but was arrested and surrendered to the enemy. Then the entire Qingdao Station was cracked and destroyed by No. 76.
