March 21, 1928, 20 p.m. On the "Cai Feng Lou" located in the Fengyue place of tianjin's Japanese concession, there were suddenly three gunshots of "bang bang bang". Then, someone saw a strong man dressed as a servant slowly walking down the stairs with a gun, and the barrel of the gun was still emitting white smoke.
The runner reacted and shouted "Not good"! When I ran upstairs to the hall of the "Cai Feng Class", I saw a middle-aged man dressed in brocade and with an obese body collapsed in a pool of blood. Zhao Jingyun, the superintendent of the office directly under the office, is asking people to seal off the scene. While ordering reporters to be strictly forbidden to enter, he wiped cold sweat and looked for someone to report the situation to his superiors.
The next morning, however, the Ta Kung Pao also published an explosive message—"
Zhang Shao was assassinated and killed last night
”！ So, who was Zhang Shao?
In the early 1920s, he was the prime minister of the Republic of China.
Before he became prime minister,
He once promoted the constitutional reform of the Qing court with the "Luanzhou Soldier Advice"
，
In one fell swoop, the political ideal of "revolutionaries who have been bleeding and drifting pestles for more than ten years" has also failed to complete
。
When Yuan Shikai was the interim president, Zhang Shao served as the "General of Suiyuan City".
The "Western League Conference" was held in Mongolia, commanded the army to repel the Kulen military aggression, and made outstanding contributions to safeguarding the territorial integrity of the country
He was therefore awarded the rank of "General of the Army". At the same time, among the revolutionary parties and warlords, they have won great prestige.
however
After he became the premier of the Republic of China, there were serious economic problems in the country's internal affairs. The Minister in charge of the Treasury fled, and the Minister in Charge of Foreign Affairs refused to take office. And his political advocacy of curtailing the power of local warlords,
And finally also
There was collective opposition
, had to be forced to step down,
He ended up dying in a political assassination.
Zhang Shaozeng "Luanzhou Soldier Advice"
Zhang Shao was born in the fifth month of September in the fifth year of Guangxu (1879) in Dacheng (now part of Langfang, Hebei Province). At the age of 17, he was admitted to the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy.
At the age of 19, due to the school examination, he was ranked "super", and the following year he was awarded the six pins of the crown by the Governor of Zhili, and in the same year he was sent to Japan to study.
Zhang Shao once accepted the influence of Confucianism from an early age, and he was well versed in the "way of moderation", although when he studied in Japan, he met Liang Qichao and others, and also came into contact with Sun Yat-sen's thought, but he always adhered to the feudal literati in his bones. He always hoped to balance the forces of all sides and achieve political goals through the way of "peace and mud". In 1901, Zhang Shao returned to China from studying and joined Yuan Shikai's army, and was appreciated and promoted by Yuan Shikai.
But at the same time, he has always been close to the revolutionaries, and yu
Around 1906, with the help of Song Jiaoren, he joined the "League".
When the Wuchang Uprising broke out, Zhang Shao served as the commander of the Twenty Towns.
The Qing court asked Zhang Shao to lead an army to quell the Wuchang uprising, but he refused.
Zhang Shao once said in the echo:
Rushing to go, winning will self-harm fellow citizens, and there is no name for the loss or death.
”
In September 1911, Zhang Shao jointly launched the Luanzhou Military Advisory and delivered the "Request for constitutional folding", pointing out to the Qing court that the revolutionary movement could not be resolved by force suppression, and asked the imperial court to reform the political system at an early date and implement the "constitutional monarchy". At the same time, he and his colleagues drew up the Twelve Articles of the Political Program, imitating the British Charter and handing them over to the imperial court. At that time, the call for state restructuring was the mainstream voice, and military advice had become the norm.
The Qing court finally agreed to the request of Zhang Shaozeng and others, and on the ninth day of the first month, he issued an edict:
The party members Sun Wen, Huang Xing, Li Yuanhong, etc. were summoned to Beijing to reuse...
”。 Later, the "Nineteen Creeds" were promulgated, which were revised on the basis of zhang Shaozeng and others' "Twelve Articles of the Drafting Political Program." This was good news for the revolutionaries of the time. Although Sun Yat-sen and others did not enter Beijing in the end, the revolutionaries regarded Zhang Shao as a comrade-in-arms who was "in the heart of Cao Ying in Han".
Yuan Shikai knew that Zhang Shao had been loyal to him and had always acquiesced to his contacts with the Revolutionary Party. In 1911, when Tsarist Russia took advantage of China's civil strife to instigate the independence of Outer Mongolia, the Kulen clique issued a "letter" to all the flags of Inner Mongolia.
Zhang Shao was ordered by Yuan Shikai to serve as the general of Suiyuan City. Adopting the method of "treating each other with sincerity and doing both with grace and power", it has struck a blow at the aggression of the Kulen clique and stabilized the situation in Inner Mongolia.
He was thus awarded the rank of "General of the Army".
In 1922, Zhang Shao became prime minister on the recommendation of his political ally Li Yuanhong. His political proposal to abolish the overseer system and reduce the army in favor of national unity was attacked by all the warlords. At the same time, due to economic problems, the following strong and huge loans are owed. Countries demanded that "international co-management of China's finances", and Liu Enyuan, who was in charge of finances, simply fled after taking office. In the end, Zhang Shaozeng's cabinet had to resign en masse.
Zhang Shao was stabbed at the beginning and end
Zhang Shao was once a child and daughter of Feng Yuxiang, and he has been in close contact with Feng Yuxiang since he left the wilderness in 1923. After Feng Yuxiang took the oath of the five originals, he broke away from the Beiyang warlords. Later, in coordination with the Northern Expeditionary Army, he fought against the warlords of his immediate lineage and marched into Shandong and Hebei, posing a great threat to the warlord Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Shao had always been concerned about China's reunification, and although he could not become prime minister, he was always concerned about major national affairs.
In order to collect intelligence for Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Shao once bought a radio station with heavy money, placed it in his residence in Tianjin, and often contacted him.
But these things were all done in secret, because he knew that he was now a light rod commander, and it was not appropriate to get too close to Feng Yuxiang in the ming. But
In the end, he was ruined by his brother Zhang Shaocheng.
In 1927, after Zhang Shaocheng returned from studying in France, he thought of seeking an errand in the political circles. At that time, Zhang Shao had persuaded his brother that there was already serious corruption within the Beiyang government, and he was afraid that he would not be able to last long. So he let his brother rest assured that he would study his homework at home and wait for the right moment. Zhang Shaocheng believed that he could not go to the Beiyang government, but also to Feng Yuxiang. Zhang Shao once told his brother to wait and see again, but his younger brother thought that the elder brother had achieved fame and success, regardless of brotherhood.
In the end, Zhang Shaocheng himself ran to Feng Yuxiang's department, and in the name of Zhang Shaozeng, he successfully found an envoy, and this matter was soon known to Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Shao had always taken the route of "peace and thin mud" in politics. In political struggles, try not to take sides. However, after this incident, coupled with Sun Chuanfang's provocation in front of Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin began to suspect Zhang Shaozeng.
Therefore, Zhang Zuolin deliberately sent someone to ask him to mediate the war between himself and Feng Yuxiang. As a result, Zhang Shao asked Zhang Zuolin to retire from the customs first and then discuss it again. Later, Zhang Zuolin suffered a big loss in the battle against the Northern Expeditionary Army, and he always secretly thought of retaliating against Zhang Shaozeng. So, I planned the murder at the beginning of the article.
epilogue
As early as the mid-twenties, many people already said Zhang Shaozeng
"Nerve problems"
, so send him a nickname
"Crazy Zhang"
。 And he resigned after the "Luanzhou Soldier Advice", and since then, he has often inexplicably called himself "the ancient Buddha of the Ninth Heavenly Palace", and also read the scriptures, asking the priest to "kill all the demons". then
The assassin who assassinated Zhang Shaozeng, dressed in a servant suit, claimed to go upstairs to deliver the letter, which was considered to be the "courier brother" of that era. After the "courier brother" shot Zhang Shaozeng three times, he left with a big swing, and no one knew. The whereabouts of the "courier brother".
