Song Jiaoren's death was not the result of Yuan Shikai's assassination, that is to say, Yuan Shikai was not actually the real murderer behind the assassination of Song Jiaoren, but Song Jiaoren's death was indirectly related to Yuan Shikai.
The relationship between Yuan Shikai and Song Jiaoren's death is: "I did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." ”
To sort out this layer, we must go back to the scene where Song Jiaoren was assassinated and find the first mastermind of the "assassination of Song Case", who was hong Shuzu, the great-grandfather of today's famous movie star Hong Jinbao, who was at the scene at that time.
Many people only know that Hong Jinbao has a few kung fu, but they don't know that his kung fu has the meaning of family origin, and his great-grandfather Hong Shuzu kung fu is quite good.
The reason why the real murderer behind Song Jiaoren's assassination is full of doubts is because his identity is quite special. Because his identity involves many interests, Yuan Shikai, Song Zhongshan, Chen Qimei, etc. all have the motive to kill him.
But the real situation is far less complicated, the real situation is: the assassin of Song Jiaoren was Hong Shuzu, who issued instructions at the scene of the shooting, and there was no instigator behind him.
Before this relationship, let's go back to March 13, 1913, just 7 days before the assassination of the Song Dynasty, on this day, ying Kuicheng, the leader of the Shanghai hooligan gang and one of the key criminals in the assassination of the Song, wrote the words "If you don't go to the Song" on a letter to Hong Shuzu.
Many people judge from this that "going to the Song" is The idea of Ying Shucheng, but if you look further ahead, you will soon find that the idea of "removing the Song" is really Hong Shuzu. In an earlier letter, he first mentioned "removing the Song" and spoke of the reason for "removing the Song", and he also instructed Ying To say:
"In the absence of the so-called bad materials that frame 'Sun Huangsong,' it is possible to 'take advantage of the opportunity' when Song Jiaoren has 'Deng's ' fierce moves' (referring to the intensity of language and writing)."
In this secret letter, "Deng" is a key person, basically understanding his identity, and the reason why Hong Shuzu wanted to kill Song Jiaoren was also revealed. The "Deng" here refers to Deng Jiayan, the chief writer of the China Minbao, who is known for his fierce anti-Yuan.
The reason why Hong Shuzu wanted to kill Song Jiaoren was simply because he, like Deng Jiayan, was unfavorable to Yuan Shikai.
Then, why did Hong Shuzu want to kill people who were unfavorable to Yuan Shikai, was he under the command of Yuan Shikai? The real situation is: this is his own decision, and it is a stupid decision that is destined to pit Yuan Shikai.
Under the circumstances at that time, Yuan Shikai had no need to kill Song Jiaoren at all. In addition, on another level, once Song Jiaoren had an accident, the most likely suspected object was Yuan Shikai, because these two people threatened each other.
With Yuan Shikai's plot, he would never kill someone who would make him stink and be unnecessary. But his subordinates, Hong Shuzu, who was weaker than his brain, were different.
From Hong Shuzu's point of view, all those who oppose Yuan Shikai and can threaten him should be eliminated.
Why was Hong Shuzu so used by Yuan Shikai? Because Yuan Shikai was the biggest nobleman in Hong Shuzu's life. In other words, Hong Shuzu assassinated Song Jiaoren only because he personally wanted to stand up for Yuan Shikai.
Hong Shuzu was not originally called Hong Shuzu, he was originally called "Hong Xi". Many people do not understand Hong Shuzu's determination to stand up for Yuan in the "Song Case" and try his best to "burn the Song", and most of them do not understand the first half of his life, that is, when he was "Hong Xi".
Hong Xi was a bitter baby, born in 1859, the same age as Yuan Shikai.
Hong Xi's father was named Hong Jingong, and in 1860, Hong Jingong was killed in a street battle against the Taiping Army in his hometown of Changzhou. Later, when the Taiping Army broke the city, all 16 members of the Hong family committed suicide by throwing themselves into the water.
But providence was general, Hong Xi and his mother, who were only 9 months old, were lucky enough to be rescued.
Later, the child who survived, Hong Xi, was placed high hopes by his mother and the Hong family's uncles. After that, his path was basically similar to that of his contemporaries: reading, examination!
But Hong Xi didn't seem to have any exam luck, and it wasn't until he was 20 years old that he won xiucai. In at least 5 subsequent examinations, he was named Sun Shan.
According to relevant records, he served as a guest of honor under many important officials such as Chen Baochen, the governor of Jiangxi, Pan Xia, the inspector of Fujian, Zuo Zongtang, the military affairs of Fujian, and Liu Mingchuan, the first inspector of Taiwan.
But throughout, there was no one who really appreciated Hong Xi.
The key, not to be appreciated, this Hong Xi was actually in Liu Ming's shogunate: from the guest of honor to the prisoner of the order. The reason is that he took kickbacks in the process of doing things, which was reported by the "Declaration" and was found in liu Mingchuan's report on the matter.
After this incident, Hong Xi was imprisoned in Taichung Tamsui Prison, which was five years.
You said that it was okay to go to jail, after all, there was a day to be released, but the point is that during Hong Xi's imprisonment, his only relative and mother died.
People say that things must be reversed, no pole Tai lai, after this kind of bad luck, Hong Xi finally waited for his spring: he got acquainted with Yuan Shikai.
Hong Xi first met Yuan Shikai during Yuan Shikai's illness, and he came to Yuan Shikai as a white-clad angel who was well versed in medical science. Perhaps it is precisely because of his arrival as a "helper" that Yuan Shikai will be so pushy of him.
Hong Xi's second meeting with Yuan Shikai was after he was wounded in the Battle of Pyongyang. After this meeting again to further understand, Yuan Shikai was extremely appreciative of Hong Xi, and he expressed great admiration for Hong Xiji's talent. Yuan Shikai even wrote a letter to Sheng Xuanhuai shortly after this, asking him to take care of this extremely capable subordinate.
Since then, Hong Xi, who changed his name to Hong Shuzu, has maintained close contacts with Yuan Shikai.
In 1908, after Yuan Shikai was deposed and returned to his hometown in Henan to live in seclusion, the two also maintained contact. To some extent, Yuan Shikai regarded Hong Shuzu as his closest confidant.
In this way, Yuan Shikai's heart in Hong Shuzu's heart is not just as simple as a nobleman.
In October 1911, the Wuchang Uprising broke out, and soon Yuan Shikai re-emerged from the mountains and became the prime minister of the Qing court, and Hong Shuzu advised Yuan Shikai on how to deal with the Qing court and the Southern Revolutionary Party, and the relationship between the two became closer.
Later, after Yuan Shikai became the president, he also appointed Hong Shuzu as the secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a position that did not seem high, but the actual power was very large, to what extent: even Tang Shaoyi, the then premier of the state, had to give him some face.
With such appreciation and such preferential treatment, how could Hong Shuzu not be grateful to Dade, and how could he not "eat the king's lu and share the worries for the king."
The history after this is familiar to all those who have received nine years of compulsory education: Yuan Shikai is bent on restoration and becomes emperor himself.
Yuan Shikai's perverse behavior soon aroused the dissatisfaction of the men's revolutionary party, and from a distance, especially the Kuomintang elder Song Jiaoren was the most active. At this time, it is naturally also the time for Hong Shuzu to repay his kindness.
Therefore, he secretly planned to "destroy The Song Reward Position" as a bait to instigate the leader of the Green Gang, Ying Guixin, to attack Song Jiaoren.
Soon, Ying Guixin hired a warrior ying from a military background to assassinate Song Jiaoren at the Shanghai Railway Station. After Song Jiaoren was killed, all the important criminals were arrested one by one, and naturally, they also confessed the real mastermind behind the scenes, Hong Shuzu.
But Hong Shuzu has a backstage after all, and this backstage needless to say is Yuan Shikai, with him, naturally no one can move him.
However, the restoration of the legal net has never been neglected, not to mention the death of yuan shikai, the only son of Song Jiaoren, who is determined to seek revenge for his father, has grown up.
Song Zhenlu's father, Song Jiaoren, was only 12 years old when he died, but the tiger father never had a dog, and in the year of his father's death, this highly ambitious boy set up his ambition to kill his father's murderer.
Finally, kung fu pays off. With the help of his father's former friends, on April 30, 1917, five years after the murder, Hong Shuzu, who had been invisible for many years, had just walked out of the courtroom because of the trouble he had caused, and was twisted by a 17-year-old teenager and a strong man and sent directly to the Shanghai patrol house.
The strong man who captured him, Hong Shuzu knew, was Liu Bai, the secretary of Song Jiaoren, who had been assassinated five years earlier. The identity of the teenager around him was something that Hong Shuzu had never dreamed of: Yes, this teenager was Song Zhenlu, the only son of Song Jiaoren.
After Hong Shuzu was arrested, he was originally sentenced to life imprisonment, but Song Zhenlu was not convinced that the sentence was too light, and soon after, with the help of public opinion, Hong Shuzu was sentenced to death.
Six years after Song Jiaoren's assassination, on April 15, 1919, Hong Shuzu was hanged at the Jingshi Branch Prison in Xijiaomin Lane, and it is worth mentioning that this was the first case of hanging since the founding of the Republic of China.
What is more worth mentioning is that because it was the first case of luck, this Hong Shuzu suffered a big loss.
Before the execution, in order to ensure that the luck was only for life, and not to let the executioner be in a different place, the executioner took a dog for experiments (after all, the first time there was no experience). The test result: the dog lost its breath and had no abnormality on the outside skin.
The executioner believes that after Hong Shuzu was executed, he could also be a whole corpse, and even the appearance of the skin was no different. What can be the real situation:
Due to Hong Shuzu's obese weight (see the body shape of his grandson Hong Jinbao), his neck could not support the weight of his body, resulting in his eventual head being different. On this day, Song Zhenlu witnessed everything at the scene.
Since then, all the murderers in the Assassination of Song have been paid for, and Song Zhenlu has finally repaid his revenge.
