At 3:30 p.m. on November 13, 1935, the Gunfire of the Tianjin First Zen Monastery rang out, and several shots in succession solidified the air of the entire Buddhist hall, and the monks did not react, and the warlord leader Sun Chuanfang, known as the "King of southeastern", spilled blood on the spot.
The shooter was a woman who claimed to be Dong Hui, who did not flee after her success, but comforted the monks and believers, saying that she was avenging her father and would never hurt anyone else.
Immediately, the woman took out the "Letter to the People of the Nation" written in advance, and displayed the photo of her father Shi Congbin in front of the world, and declared that her real name was Shi Jianqiao, and her assassination was revenge 10 years ago, and now that the great revenge was repaid, she chose to turn herself in. Soon, Sun Chuanfang's assassination case caused a sensation throughout the country, and all walks of life were discussing why a warlord who had been living in seclusion for several years and who had devoted himself to cultivating Buddhism would be poisoned by this.
Directly follow the warlords for the battle for territory
In 1924, the Second Zhifeng War broke out, and the Feng clan headed by Zhang Zuolin was supported by Feng Yuxiang and other forces, defeating the powerful warlords of the direct lineage, and its sphere of influence also expanded rapidly, once controlling half of China, infiltrating Shanghai, Nanjing and other places, while Yang Yuting, a representative of the Feng army, occupied Nanjing, and the scenery was infinite for a time. Zhang Zongchang, known as the dog meat warlord, was promoted to the post of governor of Shandong for his meritorious service in the great war.
In 1925, Wu Peifu rose again, and he was not willing to be defeated, and he was determined to unite with the warlord Sun Chuanfang to oppose the rule of Feng jun. At this time, Sun Chuanfang was claiming hegemony in Fujian and Zhejiang, and he was not willing to let his sphere of influence be so small, and wanted to compete for the strategic ancient city of Nanjing and grasp the military, government, and financial power in Jiangnan.
It just so happened that Wu Peifu intended to compete with Feng Zhi, then he could touch the fish in muddy waters and take the opportunity to hold the southeast in it. Soon, Sun Chuanfang attacked the Feng army under the slogan of "asking for the people's orders". The Feng army, which had no preparations, was defeated and retreated in a hurry, sun Chuanfang soon took Nanjing, and Yang Yuting and other generals had just woken up when they heard the news, and they quickly accelerated to escape, and they were almost arrested.
Sun Chuanfang's army attacked Xuzhou smoothly and unimpeded, which made Zhang Zongchang very jealous, once Xuzhou was taken, I am afraid that Shandong would not be spared. Zhang Zongchang had no choice but to send the commander of the 47th Brigade, Shi Congbin, to the front line to meet the battle, and this person was the father of Shi Jianqiao. Zhang Zuolin also personally promised that as long as Sun Chuanfang's troops could be defeated, he would be appointed as the overseer of Anhui.
Sun Chuanfang shot Shi Congbin
Shi Congbin's eyes lit up after listening to it, this is a feudal official, as long as he becomes an overseer, he can grasp real power and have the basis for domination. However, in the face of the ambitious Sun Chuanfang's troops, Zhang Zongchang was still not at ease, and he sent his ace army, the "White Russian Army", to the war, with a military strength of 4,000 people, which made a great contribution to Zhang Zongchang's southern conquest of the northern war.
Soon, under the command of Shi Congbin, the army came to Bengbu, Anhui, and launched a life-and-death battle with Sun Chuanfang. The White Russian army bore the brunt of it, holding brandy in one hand and a rifle in the other, and marched forward as bravely as a polar bear, which surprised officer Sun Bu: "What kind of unit is this, what is the origin?" Why is there such strength? "
Soon the Sun faction was in chaos, and the sharp knife company was surrounded by white Russian troops, who were very cruel, tying prisoners of war to trees, cutting ears, noses, etc., and the battlefield was very bloody. After Shi Congbin heard about it, he immediately stopped it, but there was still no effect, and these White Russian troops could not command it at all.
Shi Congbin sang on the battlefield and commanded a large army all the way south in an armored vehicle, but did not want to go deep alone, but was surrounded by Sun Chuanfang's main army in Guzhen. At this time, Sun Jun was greatly indignant by the tyrannical methods of the White Russian Army, and everyone shouted revenge for their brothers, and these White Russian troops were brutally abused and soon all were killed.
Sun Chuanfang did not want to kill them all, in order to preserve his strength, he launched an olive branch to the isolated shi Congbin, but did not want Shi Congbin to refuse his request on the spot, which made Sun Chuanfang very angry, let the army launch a general attack, the entire Guzhen artillery fire, Feng zhi remnant army is not an opponent, soon fell into battle.
Shi Congbin wanted to escape, but Sun Chuanfang had already sent someone to remove the nearby rails in advance, and as a result, when he fled, he drove to the place where the track was broken and overturned on the side of the road, and for a time the people turned on their horses, and soon he and a group of officers and soldiers were captured. At this time, after Sun Chuanfang heard about it, he had people press him up and mock him for not knowing current affairs. Sun Chuanfang's meaning was obvious, he needed the other party to submit to him, as long as Shi Congbin could ask for forgiveness, then everything was easy to say.
But he didn't want Shi Congbin to be righteous enough, he was always unwilling to bow his head and admit his mistake, and his eyes stared at Sun Viciously, which made Sun Chuanfang very frightened, he thought to himself that a defeated general, what courage did he have to be arrogant in front of him? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and then Sun Chuanfang ordered him to be pulled out and beheaded.
In this way, Shi Congbin was beheaded next to the station, his head full of white hair, and was hung on a telephone pole in humiliation for 3 days, after which he was hastily buried. It can be seen how cruel Sun Chuanfang is, victory and defeat on the battlefield are common things, and not killing the enemy will be the basic criterion, but Sun Chuanfang has attacked a small old man, but he will not do this if he has a little pity. It is precisely because of this that his tragic old age was brewed.
Shi Jianqiao endured for 10 years to avenge his father
The news of Shi Congbin's murder soon reached the Shi family, and everyone was in pain, and the eldest daughter, Shi Jianqiao, was determined to avenge her father. Born in 1905, she was intensively cultivated and educated by her father from an early age, proficient in dancing swords and swords, and also learned a precise marksmanship. In her opinion, if her father had been killed in battle, she would not have been so angry, but killing in such a humiliating way made her very hateful.
But Sun Chuanfang is the commander-in-chief of the combined forces of the five southeastern provinces, she is just a weak woman, how can she defeat the other side, how can she achieve the assassination plan? She put her hopes in her cousin Shi Zhongcheng, after all, his cousin had lost his parents since he was a child, and it was his father who cultivated him and sent him to a military school, and at the age of 22, he was made a company commander.
Shi Jianqiao found his cousin to declare the matter, and Shi Zhongcheng showed righteous indignation, he stood in front of his uncle's portrait and vowed to avenge him, otherwise he would be a man in vain. The next day, Shi Jianqiao and his mother came to the Governor's Mansion and asked Zhang Zongchang to look at the face of his old subordinates and focus on promoting Shi Zhongcheng. Zhang Guanfu was very sympathetic to the suffering of his subordinates, and he agreed to come down and let Shi Zhongcheng serve as the head of the regiment within a few days.
But shi Zhongcheng, who was reused, did not go to revenge, but used various excuses to shirk, in 1928 he became the commander of the Yantai garrison, Shi Jianqiao looked for the door, but at this time, the cousin in order to be promoted to a higher position, everywhere to persuade officials, there is no heart to avenge the uncle, the original oath is just a blind word in the end.
Shi Jian was furious and broke off the brother-sister relationship with him, and never contacted him again. At this time, a man named Shi Jinggong proposed to her, hoping to marry him, who had served in the military under Shi Congbin and later as a lieutenant colonel staff officer in Yan Xishan's department. Shi Jianqiao and Qi have no feelings, but the cousin is not willing to take revenge, the eldest brother is still studying in Japan, what should he do with his weak woman?
She had to marry him in the three chapters of the Shi Jing Convention Law, but she must avenge her father, otherwise she would never marry him. After Shi Jinggong listened, he swore on the spot that he would accomplish this goal, and even if he went to the Tang Dynasty, he would assassinate Sun Chuanfang. Under some booing, Shi Jianqiao married him, and the two also gave birth to 3 children. However, Shi Jinggong had never thought about revenge, and the so-called oath was not taken seriously at all.
His military ranks have been promoted one after another, but in the face of Shi Jianqiao's revenge for his father, he will always excuse himself: "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge my father-in-law after I take power, and revenge will be easy." Shi Jianqiao's patience was completely flattened, she knew that it was useless to expect others after all, and in anger divorced her husband and went to Tianjin with 3 children to live.
Warlord Sun Chuanfang's blood splashed the Buddhist Hall
The reason why Shi Jianqiao wanted to go to Tianjin was also because she came to Tianjin to become a Yugong after hearing that the enemy had left the wilderness, so she went to Tianjin in June 1935. After arriving here, she looked around and found that Sun Chuanfang lived on No. 20 Road in the British Concession, and the license plate was "Concession Note No. 1039". But although Sun Chuanfang went to the wilderness, he still had bodyguard protection when he traveled, and when he went out, he took a car and did not have the opportunity to start at all.
Sun Mansion is not only walled, but also protected by the power grid, how to take revenge? Shi Jianqiao decided to commit murder with a gun, but how could a woman buy a gun? Although the Japanese Concession is full of guns, a woman will always be suspicious when she buys a gun, but she accidentally finds that her younger brother Shi Mufu has a Browning pistol, and after questioning, she learns that this is his classmate Zhu Qiping's deposit here, and will retrieve it a year later.
Shi Jian coaxed the gun into tricking her, and in order to ensure a fatal blow, she would train her marksmanship every night. On October 3, 1935, the 10th anniversary of her father's murder, her desire for revenge was even greater, and in order to inquire about Sun Chuanfang's affairs, she assumed the name Dong Hui, which made her understanding that the enemy Sun Chuanfang would come to Jushilin on time every Monday and Friday to pray for Buddhist practice.
After hearing this news, Shi Jian was overjoyed, and she immediately blended into the forest as a layman and recognized Sun Chuanfang at the first sight. Before the assassination, Shi Jianqiao separated all his relatives and decided to assassinate them on November 13, 1935. When everyone closed their eyes and chanted, she took out her pistol and fired three shots at the enemy, killing him on the spot.
This matter caused a sensation throughout Tianjin, Shi Jianqiao was sentenced to 10 years, but all walks of life were complaining about her, Feng Yuxiang and Li Liejun actively ran to ask for amnesty, but some people opposed, because when Shi Congbin fled in defeat and fled, Shi Congbin drove an ironclad car to crush more than two hundred innocent people when crossing the bridge, which was very cruel, unworthy of sympathy, and should be beheaded.
But in the end, under the pressure of all walks of life, Shi Jianqiao regained her freedom after one year, after which she threw herself into the anti-Japanese work and contributed her strength to the cause of national salvation, and after the new China, she settled in Beijing and died of illness on August 27, 1979.
