In the morning, the city of Nanjing was, as always, shrouded in mist caused by the transpiration of the river.【】
The city of Nanjing is built along the river and gradually expands outward. Its roads are also naturally formed along the Yangtze River. Most of them are inclined and curved, just like the softness of the beauties in the south of the Yangtze River. Among the many soft, curved streets that extend outward, mountain roads are one of the few.
A street facing south and north.
The mountain road starts from Yangmen, passes through Xuanwu Gate, Drum Tower, and Xinjiekou and goes south. Here, the mountain road will pass through a small alley called Sanyuan Lane. Going west from Sanyuan Lane, passing through the Mingwa Corridor, there is another
Alley. Continue westward along this alley, passing through Fufeng Road. The road widens and connects with Moling Road.
This alley connecting Sanyuan Alley and Moling Road is not very long, just over 200 meters long, but it has never had a specific name. Some people call it Sanyuan Alley because it is connected to Sanyuan Alley.
.Some people also call it Moling Road because it is connected to Moling Road. There is no consensus on the name.
Some people also call it "Honggong Temple Alley" or "Honggong Temple Alley" because the house number marked on the only gate in this alley is "Honggong Temple No. 1". This seems to have
There are some inaccuracies. After all, the house number is marked "Honggong Temple", not "Honggong Temple Lane". By the same token, judging from the house number, this alley is not Sanyuan Lane or Moling Road.
If I have any doubts about the name of the alley, please ask an expert for guidance.
Honggong Temple was originally the residence of Hong Chengchou, an important official in the early Qing Dynasty and the governor of Jiangnan military affairs. In the original residence, there were many towers, majestic pavilions, carved railings and jade inlays; rockery flowers and trees, stacked with red and green, it was a spectacular sight.
It’s such a big house. After Hong Chengchou’s death, the Qing government, in recognition of his achievements, converted his house into an ancestral hall. This is the origin of Hong Gong Ancestral Hall.

8226; During the Xianfeng period, that is, in March 1853, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom captured Nanjing. Artillery fire caused a fire in the city, and the Honggong Temple was also burned down by the fire. Soon, the Taiping Army General Zhong Wang Li Xiucheng took this homestead and rebuilt it into Zhong Wang Mansion.
This reconstruction was hasty and messy, without strict planning and design. In 1864, Nanjing City was captured by the Qing army again. In these ten years, Prince Zhong's Mansion seemed to have gained a certain scale.
After the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Prince Zhong's Mansion was still called Hong Gong Temple by later generations. However, the buildings in the temple had long been beyond recognition. Over the years, some houses were built intermittently in Hong Gong Temple by others. According to records, Qing um
8226; During the Guangxu period, some people also carried out large-scale repairs to Honggong Temple.
As time has passed, Hong Gong Temple no longer has the same scene as when Hong Chengchou was there, and only the name "Hong Gong Temple" remains.
After many subsequent constructions and repairs, Hong Gong Temple was roughly divided into two parts: the south courtyard and the north courtyard. The south courtyard is slightly smaller, covering an area of about thirty acres. The north courtyard is slightly larger, covering an area of about sixty acres.
Outside the old-fashioned garden bungalow, there is a vast courtyard and ancillary facilities. There is an open space on the east and west sides of the courtyard. The empty space on the east side was later converted into a golf course. There are also bathrooms and barber shops in the courtyard.
In December 1928, after Zhang Xueliang announced the change of flag in Northeast China, he came to Nanjing many times to discuss matters. In order to facilitate his work and contact various departments of the National Government, he funded the purchase of the house in Honggong Temple in 1933. It will still be renovated and maintained according to the original layout.
, as a residence for myself to rest and receive guests in Nanjing.
In 1934, Zhang Xueliang had a good relationship with Dai Li and knew that the house at No. 53 Ji'e Lane was not enough for Dai Li's secret service office, so he gave the north courtyard of Hong Gong Temple to Dai Li.
In addition, it should be noted that since Zhang Xueliang bought the house, the south gate of Hong Gong Temple has been closed and has never been opened since. The entire hospital enters and exits through the north gate located in Caodu Lane. Therefore, the south gate of Hong Gong Temple
It became the inner courtyard, and the north courtyard became the outer courtyard. The north courtyard that Zhang Xueliang gave to Dai Li was the outer courtyard. Perhaps for this reason, Dai Li's agents naturally called the north courtyard "Honggong Temple No. 1".
This is the origin of the name "Hong Gong Temple No. 1". In fact, no one calls the south courtyard of Hong Gong Temple "Hong Gong Temple No. 2".
After Zhang Xueliang was put under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek and lost his freedom, the south courtyard of Hong Gong Temple was reused. Later it was also occupied by Dai Li's Secret Service. At this point, the entire Hong Gong Temple was owned by Dai Li's Secret Service, and some people raised objections. But "
The name "Honggong Temple No. 1" has been used ever since.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army bombed Nanjing, and "Honggong Temple No. 1" was also affected, and some houses were bombed. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Military Command Bureau returned to Honggong Temple, and in accordance with Dai Li's order, the open space in the courtyard and the bombed
On the basis of the ruins, the "Military Command Bureau Building" was built.
In March 1946, Dai Li died in a plane crash. The Bureau of Military Control was reorganized into the Secret Service of the Ministry of National Defense. The successor director, Mao Renfeng, feared that the building would be too public, so he immediately cut the budget and changed the originally planned five-story building to a
Build a second floor and renovate the remaining houses in the courtyard for use.
At this point, "Honggong Temple No. 1" became the headquarters of the Secret Service of the Ministry of National Defense.
The main content of this story takes place in this building.
Although the "Secret Bureau Building" only has two floors, it still gives people a tall and majestic feeling. First, the floors inside the house are higher, and the rooms are tall and spacious. Second, the building faces east and west, with Fenfu Road behind it separated by a wall. Since Dai Li's spy
After moving into the Hong Gong Temple, no trees were allowed to be planted around it. Therefore, passers-by can see this mysterious building when they look up, and they do not feel fear when passing by.
There are wings on the north and south sides of the building, and the entire building is shaped like an unsealed box, like an open tiger's mouth. In the center of the building is the main entrance, which is tall and majestic. There are sentries with guns on both sides of the gate.
Enter the gate, go up to the second floor, go north along the corridor, and turn at the wing, where the second branch of the Security Bureau is located.
The Second Division of the Security Bureau is the Operations Division, headed by Ye Gongjin. Because Ye Gongjin once served as the chief of the Intelligence Division, he is also known as a problem expert.
After leaving Ye Gongjin's office, continue walking north and turn into the wing corridor. The first door is the second conference room.
According to Ye Gongjin’s diary, on March 26, 1948, the ninth day after Captain Su Shaoqing, the operative of the 13th Army Statistical Investigation Department, successfully escaped from a small mountain village in Tiaoshan, Shanxi, the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent an urgent telegram to Nanjing.
The day before the underground party ordered an agent codenamed "Fishbone" to make an emergency retreat, officers above the second division level were holding a meeting in the conference room under the chairmanship of Division Chief Ye Gongjin.
Ye Gongjin was sitting at the head of the conference table at this time, looking at the officers present with a smile.
Sitting at the table were Cheng Yunfa, leader of the operations team, Zhao Minggui, leader of the intelligence team, Qian Yuhong, director of the archives office, He Junjie, chief secretary, and several other officers above the rank of lieutenant.
Next to the leader of the action group, Cheng Yunfa, sat a female officer. Her long hair was tied behind her head, her handsome face concealed shrewdness and decisiveness, and her half-squinted phoenix eyes revealed a hint of sharpness.
The sharp light showed only a little smile on the slightly raised corners of his mouth.
Ye Gongjin slowly stood up from the table. He had a kind appearance, and his sparse hair was neatly combed back. He was about the same height, slightly stout, and had a dignified and majestic posture. He looked around at the officers at the table, and finally turned his gaze.
On the face of the female officer next to Cheng Yunfa.
Ye Gongjin said in a low voice: "Su Shaoqing."
The female officer stood up in response and put her feet together, making a crisp sound. Her shoulders and back were straight, her military uniform fit properly, her chin was slightly raised, and she stared at Ye Gongjin.
Ye Gongjin nodded appreciatively and continued: "Our Second Division, Su Shaoqing, leader of the Second Action Team, has only been in office for more than half a year since he took office in September last year. Ah, he has already solved major cases. There is the Nanjiang Commercial Bank Communist Material Transshipment Case.
The Fulai Inn Communist Party Liaison Station case and the Nanjing University Student Union case were solved one by one, and many Communists were captured. In addition, they also solved the Xiaguan arms smuggling case, etc., which can be described as outstanding achievements. In addition, Su Shaoqing is particularly valuable.
Yes, he is good at leading troops and can unite comrades in the group to work together for the cause of the party and the country. Therefore, after reporting to Director Mao for approval, Comrade Su Shaoqing is promoted to the rank of school military officer."
The officers around the table applauded.
Su Shaoqing also smiled and saluted Ye Gongjin, "Thank you, Director, for the promotion."
Cheng Yunfa beside her laughed and said, "Congratulations, Shaoqing." He extended his hand to her.
Su Shaoqing shook his hand and said, "Thank you." He turned around and shook hands with Qian Yuhong on the other side.
Qian Yuhong had just been promoted to major last month, and she originally thought she was on equal footing with Su Shaoqing. Now that Su Shaoqing had been promoted to another level, she felt a little bit sour in her heart.
However, no one present here expected that at this moment, a rickshaw was turning into Sanyuan Alley from Shannan Road. A woman was sitting on the rickshaw, looking back and forth and left and right with a slightly nervous expression.
She got off the car at the intersection of Mingwa Gallery and walked towards Mingwa Gallery while asking passers-by. The passers-by told her that if you walk along Mingwa Gallery, you will find Caodu Lane not far away. You can't go further west.
Not far away is the north gate of Hong Gong Temple.
She was wearing a dark suit that didn't fit well, and her short hair was a little messy. She seemed to be a female clerk who was not very proud. She was holding a roll of newspapers in her hand, looking around as she continued to walk inside.
Needless to say, she is the Su Shaoqing who escaped from the mountains.
