After the Lushan meeting, the Central Military Commission held an enlarged meeting to criticize Peng and Huang Kecheng. In a criticism of Huang Kecheng, the sensational so-called "gold" problem was exposed completely. It was Wu who put forward this matter. It was like a bombshell that suddenly exploded, making the participants stunned: Huang Kecheng, who had always been regarded as incorruptible and self-denying, seemed to suddenly become a big embezzler, and some even said that Huang Kecheng was "preparing funds for the military reform".

In August, 65438, the Eighth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee held in Lushan made a wrong resolution on the so-called "Peng, Huang, Zhang and Zhou anti-party clique headed by Comrade Peng". Subsequently, a massive struggle against right opportunism was launched in the whole party, which caused extremely serious consequences and left a profound lesson.

After the Lushan meeting, the Central Military Commission held an enlarged meeting to criticize Peng and Huang Kecheng. In a criticism of Huang Kecheng, the sensational so-called "gold" problem was exposed completely. It was Wu who put forward this matter. It was like a bombshell that suddenly exploded, making the participants stunned: Huang Kecheng, who had always been regarded as incorruptible and self-denying, seemed to suddenly become a big embezzler, and some even said that Huang Kecheng was "preparing funds for the military reform".

The so-called "Golden Case" refers to part of the funds brought by the Third Division of the New Fourth Army when it was ordered to move from northern Jiangsu to northeast in September 1945. Huang Kecheng is the division commander and political commissar, and Weng Xuwen is the division supply department minister. At that time, tens of thousands of troops were deployed thousands of miles away, and of course there was no money. The third division has been operating in the northern Jiangsu base area for many years, and accumulated a little money because of the serious self-help movement in production. When the army went out, these funds were exchanged for some legal tender, and the currency limited to the base areas in northern Jiangsu was managed to be exchanged for gold for emergency use. Due to economical use, until the northeast base area was established and the troops were reorganized, there was still some gold left in the division. With the consent of the superior, this part of the funds will be brought to the Ximan Military Region. Huang Kecheng is the commander of the military region, and Weng Xuwen is the minister of supply department of the military region. At the end of 1947, in order to facilitate storage and transportation, the supply department of Ximan Military Region refined gold into gold bars, and with the approval of Huang Kecheng and Li Fuchun, the heads of Northeast Bureau, sent special personnel to deliver the gold bars to Northeast Bank.

1In the summer of 949, Huang Kecheng became the secretary of Hunan Provincial Party Committee. Because Hunan is an old revolutionary base area and a newly liberated area, there are many martyrs, and they are afraid of special needs. Huang Kecheng asked Weng Xuwen to ask Li Fuchun for approval, and sent someone to the Dongbeiju to sign and bring back the gold that has not been used up in the Northeast to Hunan. At that time, a gold inventory was made (one for each relevant person and five for * * *), two boxes (inner safe and outer wooden box) and two different keys (one for each person). Kerwin Chen, Wang Zhiqing, Wu Zichang and others are on duty 24 hours in turn, guarded by armed guards, so that people do not leave the box, and the box does not leave people. After arriving in Hunan, I began to use a little relief army and the families of martyrs. As the economic situation in the province has improved rapidly, the money is no longer needed. On September 1949, all the money was handed over to the Hunan Provincial Department of Finance.

In order to investigate this case, the Central Committee sent a working group to Hunan in June1959165438+10. Weng Xuwen and others were censored and repeatedly asked to explain the ins and outs of "collusion and corruption with Huang Kecheng" and gold.

Weng Xuwen 1926 participated in the revolution, 1927 participated in the China * * * production party, and successively participated in the autumn harvest uprising, previous counter-campaigns against "encirclement and suppression", the 25,000-mile long March, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the liberation war and the socialist revolution and construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has always maintained the glorious tradition of hard work, simplicity, honesty and self-discipline of the old Red Army and the old Eighth Route Army. During the war, Weng Xuwen managed a lot of money and wealth. He thinks this is the property of the party, and he is managing funds for the party. In the absence of strict supervision, although he is good at dancing with long sleeves, he still "leads an honest and clean life". During the war, he managed public property very carefully. Money transactions are managed by accountants and cashiers, as well as handlers and references. Especially when it comes to money, he is very careful for fear of criticism. More than ten years have passed, and the important receipts and current accounts of the war years are intact. One of the important receipts with signature and seal was written by the recipient when Weng sent someone to send 74 gold bars (each 10 Liang, ***740 Liang) to the higher authorities. There is also Li Fuchun's reply to Weng Xuwen due to the transfer of property, and the receipt 1949 written by the Hunan Provincial Finance Committee to the handlers in September, which reads "Comrade Kerwin Chen handed over 867 taels of gold and 2 taels of silver133 yuan. Handler Wang Zhiqing, quoted from Weng Xuwen ". The procedure at that time was quite complete and clear.

Weng Xuwen's important receipts and accounts provide the most direct and reliable material evidence for clarifying the so-called "gold case" put forward in the 1959 anti-rightist struggle. The book "Huang Kecheng's Self-Report" published by People's Publishing House praised: "Weng Xuwen is honest, never seeks personal gain, and is very cautious. He managed money and wealth for the revolutionary ranks, worked diligently, and the procedures and accounts were clear and complete. After the money was handed in, he still kept the accounts and receipts. ..... I was able to get rid of the crime of being framed. This is really thanks to Weng Xuwen's cautious style. "

At the same time, Zhang, the former security squad leader of the supply department of Ximan Military Region (then the tax director of Jiahe County, Hunan Province), provided the detailed process of/kloc-0 escorting gold for Northeast Bank in the winter of 947, which was confirmed by Fu Jingyi (secretary Weng Xuwen) and (accountant) accompanying him, and also provided an important witness for clarifying the case.

This case has been reviewed repeatedly for four years, and nothing has been found. 1In September, 963, the Central Working Group came to Hunan again to investigate and verify the "Golden Case" in Huang Kecheng, and held three investigation meetings to find Weng Xuwen, Fu Jingyi, Zhang and Zhang. At the meeting, the Central Working Group announced that after various investigations and checking accounts, the problem was basically found out.

196365438+On February 26th, the 6th circular of the Central Working Group on the investigation of economic stalls in Huang Kecheng pointed out: "Comrade Weng Xuwen is honest and willing to come to Beijing to verify the problems proved. He always insists on the original statement and will not talk easily when he leaves the ledger. "

However, under the guidance of the "Left" ideology of that year, the case review was often subordinated to a certain political need, and the already clear problems were still unreasonably suspected; The question that should be closed has been postponed. Some innocent comrades were accused inexplicably, suppressed, attacked and even destroyed.

Weng Xuwen was involved in this case. 1960 when the provincial party congress was changed, his name was not on the pre-selection list of provincial party Committee members. Representatives of Changsha put forward opinions, and a principal responsible person of the provincial party committee explained that Weng was involved in the "Golden Case" in Huang Kecheng, which was unclear both economically and politically. From then on, he was not informed of some meetings he should attend, and he was not given any documents he could read. I don't make specific arrangements for my work, and I basically have nothing to do at home. The so-called "golden case" that has been found out during the Cultural Revolution has been made public. Weng Xuwen was described as the best friend of the "Peng, Huang, Zhang and Zhou" anti-party clique and a "black cadre" in Huang Kecheng. He was subjected to personal insults such as property seizure, placarding, criticism and punishment, and was later put in the "bullpen". Zhang, the former security monitor of the supply department of the third division of the New Fourth Army, was also implicated in escorting gold. He was relieved of his position as a member and director of the county party Committee and sent to Jiahe County Animal Husbandry and Breeding Farm for labor reform. During the "Cultural Revolution", he was regarded as a friend of Peng, Huang, Zhang and Zhou, and suffered many inhuman treatments, such as robbing property, fighting, beating, listing, parading and so on.

The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party is a great historical turning point. It was not until the left-leaning mistakes in and before the Cultural Revolution were completely corrected that the case was completely clarified, and Weng Xuwen regained his reputation and became the deputy secretary of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the vice chairman of the CPPCC.

1On July 2, 979, the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army issued the conclusion that Weng Xuwen and other comrades were involved in the "gold case": 1959, when the Central Committee examined the issue of Comrade Huang Kecheng, it filed a case and investigated the so-called "Comrade Huang Kecheng held back the economic stall", that is, the so-called problem of Comrade Huang Kecheng embezzling gold. 1963, comrade Huang Kecheng's task force investigated Weng Xuwen, Fu Jingyi, Zhang, and other economic problems in the supply department of Ximan Military Region. At that time, Comrade Weng Xuwen made it clear to the organization the problems of economic stalls and gold refining. Comrade Huang Kecheng's task force has proved that what Comrade Weng Xuwen said is practical and realistic, and Comrade Huang Kecheng has no corruption problem. The economic account that Comrade Weng Xuwen is responsible for is clear. This conclusion proves that. All comrades involved in the so-called "golden case" should be corrected and their reputation restored. "

At this point, the so-called "golden case" that lasted for 20 years finally restored the true colors of history.
