Why did Xiang Yingxin, a "nepotism" who was good at using beauty traps, marry Mao Renfeng in the end?

When it comes to spies, in addition to mystery, cruelty, secret warfare, and confusion in everyone's mind, the most talked about ones are probably the beautiful female spies. In the Republic of China, among the famous military commanders, the most famous female spy was the crony Xiang Yingxin.

Among the thirty-six strategies, the most famous ones include the beauty trap. And Xiang Yingxin is the "beauty" in the beauty trap. Relying on his outstanding appearance and flexible skills, he used the beauty trap to Ying Xin and made contributions to the military commander many times, becoming one of Dai Li's "aces".

Beauty Trap

In fact, if you put aside the colored glasses, Xiang Yingxin can infiltrate the military as a woman without any foundation, and has repeatedly made meritorious deeds. , and eventually became the wife of Mao Renfeng, an important military commander, and can be regarded as a model of inspirational counterattack by a small person. In addition, Xiang Yingxin was in a chaotic Republic of China and was a weak woman, which further revealed Xiang Yingxin's extraordinary ability and vision.

Xiang Yingxin was originally the daughter of an ordinary family in Xi'an. Unlike other girls, Xiang Yingxin is naturally beautiful and extremely smart. According to normal development, Xiang Yingxin will marry a well-matched young man and live an ordinary life. Obviously, Xiang Yingxin is not willing to live such a life, and she yearns for the legendary "upper society".

Dare to think and act, and she is very willing to risk her life. At the expense of her youth and beauty, Xiang Yingxin married Hu Yifa, a general of the Northwest Army who was older than his father, despite the opposition of her parents. Moreover, she was not his official wife, but just his concubine. However, Xiang Yingxin didn't care. In her mind, Hu Yifa was just a step for her to climb up.

Soon, Xiang Yingxin found an opportunity. At this time, Dai Li, who was eager to spy on the Northwest Army's intelligence, discovered Xiang Yingxin who was wandering in Xi'an's social scene. The two people, each with their own needs, quickly got to know each other, and General Dai Li introduced Ying Xin to join the army. Dai Li got both people and wealth: Not only did he get the information he wanted, but he also got Xiang Yingxin, an incomparable beauty lover.

Dai Li

During the military rule, Xiang Yingxin repeatedly made military exploits, and was once ordered to assassinate the traitor Yin Rugeng (but failed in one attempt). During the Anti-Japanese War, in order to win over his close subordinate and fellow countryman Mao Renfeng, Dai Li married Xiang Yingxin to him.

Although he knew about the relationship between Xiang Yingxin and Dai Li, Mao Renfeng, who has always been kind and tolerant, completely pretended not to know. And Mao Renfeng's forbearance obviously paid off. Mao Renfeng rose steadily in the military command. After Dai Li died in a plane crash in 1946, Mao Renfeng became Dai Li's successor and served as the second military commander. leader.

Mao Renfeng

Mao Renfeng is not only kind and tolerant, but also very cruel. After Dai Li's death, he seemed to have no backing and "use". In 1947, Mao Renfeng took advantage of Xiang Yingxin's illness and directly threw Xiang Yingxin into a mental hospital, and eventually sent Xiang Yingxin, who was still his wife, to a mental hospital. Ying Xin was imprisoned in a lunatic asylum in Qingdao.

(Another theory is that Mao Renfeng sent Ying Xin to a mental hospital to protect her because she was accused of making national treasure.) It was not until the eve of the founding of New China that Xiang Yingxin was brought to Hong Kong by her family.

Dai Li and Mao Renfeng

After the Kuomintang retreated from the treasure island, because Chiang Kai-shek preferred Prince Chiang Ching-kuo to take over the Kuomintang’s intelligence system, Mao Renfeng, who failed in the struggle with Chiang Ching-kuo, lost power and became A marginal figure. In 1955, Mao Renfeng was diagnosed with cancer. In the same year, Mao Renfeng died from improper medication due to mistrust of quack doctors.

From then on, Xiang Yingxin, who was once dazzling, not only lost her youthful appearance, but also lost her support. With no one to rely on, she could only continue her old life alone.
