It's suitable for everyone to watch in their spare time.There is also a lot of discussion about the real Suzhou spy war in the play《A Lonely Hero's Journey》. Today, the editor will take you to take a look at the introduction to《A Lonely Hero's Journey》Let’s introduce some contents of the real Suzhou spy war.

《A Lonely Hero's Journey》 is a spy drama set in Suzhou.Most of the spy war dramas are set in Shanghai and Northeast China (Puppetry Manchuria), and there are very few about Suzhou spy wars.

In fact, since 1941, Wang Puppet established the Qingxiang Committee (the committee has a very high standard and is at the same level as the puppet Executive Yuan. The chairman of the committee is personally appointed by Wang Ni Zhaoming, who can give instructions to various ministries). The Committee is headed by the Department of Investigation and Statistics.Li Nishiqun, the minister and person in charge of No. 76, served as the secretary-general with real power, and set up the Suzhou office of the Qingxiang Committee in Suzhou. Suzhou became a center of the Wang puppet spy activities in the autumn of 1941-1943.At that time, the Qingxiang Committee had four offices, four committees, and one office, with more than a thousand registered staff, making it the largest administrative agency of the Wang puppet.“Qingxiang” was no different from the methods used by the Japanese army “Sanguang” and Chiang Kai-shek to suppress the enemy. In order to consolidate their rule in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Japanese army targeted “Qingxiang” at the New Fourth Army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In order to make a name for himself in Suzhou, the spy leader Li Nishiqun moved almost all his close associates at Shanghai No. 76 to Suzhou, such as deputy secretary-general Wang Manyun, to communicate with the masters of the Japanese government and expand his power in the puppet court., Chen Guangzhong, Director of the General Affairs Department, Yu Bailu, Director of the Political Department, etc., are all key players in No. 76.

Within the Wang Puppet Group, due to its small territory (only a few provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui are actually controlled by the Wang Puppet), the Chairman of the Puppet Jiangsu Province has become the top priority.After Li Nishiqun defeated his political opponents and became chairman of the puppet Jiangsu Province in 1942, he concurrently served as governor of the puppet Jiangsu province, secretary-general of the Qingxiang Committee, director of the office in Jiangsu, director of the secret service headquarters, minister of the police department, and director of the investigation and statistics department.He took over the political power of Jiangsu Province.As the capital of Jiangsu Province at that time, Suzhou was home to gangs of gangsters and espionage activities were rampant.At that time, the puppet Suzhou Provincial Government was located in the Humble Administrator's Garden, a famous garden through the ages.

It is very interesting about Li Nishiqun.He is an agent trained by the Soviet Union and a disciple of General Semyon Petrovich Uritsky.This person changed his tune twice. During the founding period of No. 76, Li Shiqun went on a killing spree in Shanghai and showed no mercy to the personnel of the two unifications.Li Shiqun did not specify that he had been killed publicly, and he had cooperated with Pan Hannian on many occasions to open a passage back to Yan'an for New Fourth Army cadres such as Liu Xiao and Wang Yaoshan. Under his nose, G Party spies such as Guan Lu and Yun Yiqun, etc., heThey all know their identities but choose to turn a blind eye.Close your eyes.At the end of 1943, Li Shiqun died violently due to poisoning. There are different opinions on the cause of Li's death. The latest theory was given by Lieutenant General Tang Shengming, an undercover agent. According to Tang, Li died due to the conspiracy of Chongqing, Zhou Fohai, and the Japanese military.

At the end of 1943, Li Nishi and his group ceased power, and the Qingxiang Movement subsequently ceased in name only. The influence of Li's backer, the Meiji Organization, gradually declined in Jiangsu, and the Super High School took its place.The head of the Suzhou Office of the Super High School (later renamed the liaison officer) was Colonel Kaneko Shunji.

After talking about the “villain” forces, let’s talk about the “decent” forces, the spies in Suzhou.

I have to mention Yuan Shu, the prototype of the pretender Minglou.Yuan was an old friend of Li Shiqun during the Zhongtong era. After Li became the secretary-general of Qingxiang, he wanted to call Yuan Shu from Shanghai to work together to clear the countryside.From 1939 to 1940, Yuan was engaged in the Xingya Nation-building Movement in Shanghai and was in opposition to Wang Zhaoming. The battle was quite large and a large group of people under him could not arrange work. Yuan Shu was distressed by this matter. In addition, Pan Hannian asked Yuan Shu toTaking advantage of Qingxiang's anti-Qingxiang%, Yuan agreed to Li Nishiqun's invitation and took up the post of deputy director of the Qingxiang Party Affairs Office and leader of the Political Working Group.During his stay in Qingxiang, Yuan Shu was able to hold fourteen positions, such as director of Jiangsu Education Department, deputy director of the Party Affairs Office, deputy director of the New National Movement, etc.Li Shiqun entrusted all party affairs, publicity, and education work to Yuan. In many institutions, the governor Li Nishiqun was officially in charge, and Yuan Shu held the deputy position and held the real power.Li Nishiqun's original intention may have been to take advantage of Yuan Shu, but instead he was taken advantage of by Yuan Shu. At that time, newspapers in Jiangsu said that "the Li family is under the Yuan family's power".

People placed by Yuan Shu include, but are not limited to, Suzhou Education Director Zhang Zhiyue (formerly known as Chen Xianzhang, secretary of the Shanghai Journalists Association before the incident, middle school education, self-proclaimed graduate of Hujiang University, underground party), Yangzhong County Magistrate Ding Ding (formerly known as Ding Yulin, formerHe served as the editor of Shanghai Commercial Daily and other newspapers, a third-rate poet, a self-proclaimed writer, and once ran a writer magazine), Zhenjiang County Magistrate Zhang Xiuming (before the war, he was a reporter for Dahua Evening News and other newspapers), Zheng Jie, director secretary of the Department of Education, Wu Jie (all members of Yuan Shu's team in the Xingya founding movement), Wang Zhenghe, deputy dean of the College of Education and president of Qingxiang New Newspaper (this person's original name was Wang Fuquan, a well-known Fudan professor, and Zhang Ke, deputy director of the Wang Puppet Propaganda Department, etc.They were all supporters of Deng Yanda's third party, and at this time they were also undercover in Suzhou under the leadership of Pan Hannian) and so on.

The reason why Li Nishiqun took advantage of Yuan Shu was related to their old friendship and Yuan Shu's complicated background.Li Shiqun and Yuan knew each other as early as 1932 when Li Shiqun was in the Central Unification Branch. When they were working in Ganshe, a branch of the Central Unification Bureau, Li served as the chief of the operations section and Yuan served as the chief of the intelligence section.Later, Li Shiqun was ordered by our side to blow up the head of the Shanghai District of the Central Government. Li was arrested and imprisoned and completely defected to the Central Government. Yuan Shu was convicted of the Strange Westerner Case (also known as the Niu Lan Case, a famous international espionage case).) was implicated and imprisoned.In 1939, Yuan Shu, who had returned from studying in Japan for the second time, was ordered by the military commander to plan to bomb No. 76. He was arrested by Li Shiqun and put under house arrest on No. 76. Eiichi Iwai, the head of the intelligence department of the Shanghai Consulate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, released Yuan Shu on bail. Yuan Sui and Iwai started to have fun.Asian nation-building movement.Yuan Shu was a genius in social activities. In half a year, he turned the construction movement into a major movement involving hundreds of thousands of people. He even wanted to form a new political party and ran New China News and other newspapers to publicize major events.According to Iwai Eiichi's memoirs, "After receiving such a report from Yuan Shu, I began to believe that I could organize the expected popular party.Then, my dream began to expand. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I wanted to gather tens of thousands of subordinates at the party founding conference and have a big fight in Hongkou Park or somewhere.Director Yuan's declaration of founding the party, my congratulatory message when I officially became the general counsel, etc. came to my mind one after another, and sometimes I was even so excited that I couldn't sleep.

Yuan also took the opportunity to place our spies such as Yun Yiqun, Liu Renshou, Ye Deming and others in the pseudo-organization. There were many people in the entire construction movement and the New China Newspaper.In Li Shiqun's view, Yuan Shu's life experiences were similar to his. They both had Communist International backgrounds and had defected to Japan from the two unifications.Moreover, Yuan was a Japanese student studying abroad and had the backing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He controlled the Chinese propaganda agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and had strong propaganda ability, so he dragged Yuan Shu to Jiangsu for his own use.One detail, according to Yuan Shu's recollection, is that with the growth of the anti-Japanese forces, Li Shiqun felt that the future was not good.One day, he talked to me all night and said, "If the war is not going well, what should we do? Let's go to Japan under the name of some kind of study group! You don't want to do it either."’ He bought some properties in Japan and planned to live in exile in Japan.He also sent people to Hong Kong to seek relations with our party, but they returned empty-handed.Li also asked me to find TG several times.“It can be seen from this paragraph that Li trusts Yuan more and is aware of Yuan's identity.

In addition to Yuan Shu, the undercover agents of the Kuomintang in Chongqing include Tang Shengming and others.

”Playboy“ General Xiao Tang in his youth

Tang Shengming is Tang Shengzhi's half-brother and the fourth eldest (the eldest is Tang Shengzhi, and the second and third eldest are half-brothers).Tang Shengming, a fourth-generation student in Huangpu, had a good relationship with Dai Li and Shen Zui. He also had a close relationship with TG. He once lived in the same room with Mao for two years, covered Zhou's trip to Yan'an, and delivered bullets to Chen Geng.Dai Li picked Tang Shengming to be an undercover agent for two reasons. One was his relationship with Wang's puppet high-level officials. His eldest brother Tang Shengzhi had experience of joining forces with Wang to fight against Chiang. His godbrother-in-law was Wang's puppet Army Minister Ye Peng, which made it easier for Wang toSecondly, he has always lived a bohemian life. His wife Xu Lai is a movie star and has a wide network of contacts, so she can cover for him. It is not easy for the couple to return to Shanghai on the grounds of hard life and arouse suspicion.

Tang Shengming was appointed director of the Military Affairs Department of the Qingxiang Committee and became Li Shiqun's military deputy.He secretly contacted Chongqing, protected the interests of the loyal and national salvation army in Chongqing during the Qing Dynasty, and on Dai Li's order joined forces with the Japanese and puppets to fight against the New Fourth Army.

According to Shen Zui's memoirs, I heard many people say that Tang had bailed out and protected many military special agents during his years in the enemy-occupied area, so I told him face to face that he had done many good things and many people were grateful to him.But he, who has always been straightforward, said to my surprise that he had done more bad things for the Japanese and traitors than good things, otherwise the Japanese and Wang Jingwei would not believe him.So he frankly said that there were dozens of times more people scolding him and hating him than saying good things about him.” Tang Shengming directly participated in the Qingxiang military activities in the Suzhou area. It goes without saying that he witnessed the Qingxiang tragedy and suffered a psychological burden.

Tang Shengming's real espionage activities took place during the confusing peace talks between Japan and Chiang Kai-shek at the end of the War of Resistance, the so-called Miao Bin work. The movie - Untitled - portrayed this scene.

History is always more tortuous and bizarre than spy dramas, more like a “magic drama”.
