Sun Chuanfang was a great warlord in the Republic of China period, he was born in the cold door, because his sister married Wang Yingkai, the law enforcement camp office of the Wuwei Right Army under Yuan Shikai, as a second room, found a patron, was able to enter the Baoding Military Academy, and then crossed east to Fusang, enrolled in the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School, after returning to China, he entered the Beiyang Army, because he was shrewd and did things sharply, he was appreciated by Wang Zhanyuan of the Beiyang Army, Qingyun went straight up, and at his peak he once occupied the five southeastern provinces, known as the "King of the Southeast", becoming the three major warlords alongside Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu. After the Start of the Northern Expedition, Sun Chuanfang's land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which Sun Chuanfang occupied, bore the brunt of it, and in the face of the attack of the National Revolutionary Army, Sun Chuanfang was defeated and retreated, and had to defect to Zhang Zuolin, and after Zhang Zuolin's death, he avoided living in Dalian because of his disagreement with Zhang Xueliang, and the "918" incident made Sun Chuanfang completely go to the wilderness, lived in seclusion in Tianjin, and became a Yugong.
But his fate also took a turn, and in 1935 Sun Chuanfang was assassinated at the Age of 50 at the Jushilin Buddhist Hall in Tianjin.
And the murderer turned out to be a woman, which was the famous heroine of the Republic of China period - Shi Jianqiao.
After Shi Jianqiao stabbed Sun Chuanfang to death, he did not flee, but handed the pistol to the police, shouting that he was avenging his father and not hurting the innocent.
Sun Chuanfang's murder shocked people at home and abroad, and soon the ins and outs of the assassination case were dug up, and a case of injustice that had been hidden for ten years surfaced.
In 1925, the Zhifeng War broke out, and after sun Chuanfang introduced Wu Peifu, the commander-in-chief of the fourteen-province coalition army, he led his army north and pointed directly at Shandong, catching the Fengzhi warlord by surprise, and Shi Congbin, who was then the commander of the Second Army of the Fengjun Army and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, went to intercept Sun Chuanfang on the orders of Zhang Zongchang, the governor of Shandong.
Shi Congbin was already sixty years old at the time, he was a native of Kongcheng Town, Tongcheng, Anhui, he joined Wu Changqing's troops in his early years, and then followed Yuan Shikai into the Beiyang New Army, and in the first year of Xuantong, he was awarded the rank of major general and lieutenant general of the army.
After the founding of the Republic of China, Shi Congbin became a subordinate of Zhang Zongchang, the governor of Shandong, and served as the commander of the First Division of the Army, and later the commander of the Second Army. Zhang Zongchang was a big old man, but he was still very important to Shi Congbin, who was from Beiyang, and not only entrusted him with heavy responsibilities, but also handed over to him the White Russian soldiers who could recruit good warriors.
White Russian soldiers are a great magic weapon of Zhang Zongchang, old Zhang mixed in Russia in his early years, knew a lot of locals, after the October Revolution, these Russian ronin exiled to China, was recruited by Zhang Zongchang, because of the yellow hair and blue eyes, strange appearance, coupled with bravery in combat, fierce and brutal, almost everyone is afraid, the combat effectiveness far exceeds the general Beiyang Army.
However, Shi Congbin was defeated by Sun Chuanfang in Guzhen, northern Anhui, and in the process of fleeing, the armored vehicle he was riding in overturned, and Shi Congbin was captured by Sun Chuanfang's xie Hongxun.
For the lower soldiers, a battle is a life and death disaster, but for the upper generals, the war is just a contest on the chessboard, there is a win or loss, there is no life or death.
Why? Only because there was an unwritten rule in the warlord melee during the Republic of China: do not kill the generals!
Turning over the history of the Republic of China, we will find an interesting thing, as long as the warlord is defeated and announces that he is in the wilderness, there is no fear of life, the generals are captured, and if there is no blood and deep hatred, they will generally be safe. Why are there such interesting unspoken rules? It has a lot to do with the social environment during the Republic of China period.
As we all know, almost all of the warlords of the Republic of China are from Beiyang, no matter what the Feng, Anhui, or direct families, everyone is a comrade-in-arms of the six towns of Beiyang, as long as they are willing to find, they can always find out some classmates, friends, relatives, fellow villagers, old bosses, and old subordinate relations. Moreover, warlords are fighting for the sake of interests, since they are interests, they can get it, why kill them all, the so-called people leave a line, they will see each other in the future, today you kill others, another day may be a camp of comrades-in-arms, people can say anything, people kill is an endless blood vendetta. It is precisely for this reason that many battles were fought during the Republic of China period, and it is rare to hear of senior generals killed or killed (except for Guo Songling).
Shi Congbin joined the army at the age of 15 and was captured at the age of sixty, he has seen every scene, and naturally knows these rules, and after being captured, he also greets the soldiers escorting him: You have worked hard.
Xie Hongxun, who captured Shi Congbin, was a strong general under Sun Chuanfang, from the Baoding Army Officer School, and was still very kind to the old predecessors of Beiyang, and wrote a special report to Sun Chuanfang before escorting him away, requesting preferential treatment of Shi Congbin.
But Sun Chuanfang did not intend to be merciful under the knife, and when Shi Congbin was escorted over, he was lying on the kang smoking a big cigarette, and Shi Congbin gave him a military salute and shouted a big handsome. But Sun lay on the cigarette bed and didn't move, so he said: Elder Shi, hello, aren't you here to be the governor of Anhui? Go to office right away!
Shi Congbin was thus pulled out and executed.
The most cruel thing is that Shi Congbin was not shot, but beheaded, and it has been many years in the Republic of China, Sun Chuanfang regained the punishment of the late Qing Dynasty, not only that, but also hung Shi Congbin's head at Bengbu Station for public display, and violently died for three days.
Sun Chuanfang's approach caused dissatisfaction among many soldiers, after all, everyone was an acquaintance, so why should they be so determined. In the future, if everyone is captured by others, where will there be a way to live?
Anecdotal rumors, Sun Chuanfang at that time played a smooth ride, some of them were overwhelmed, did not take this matter seriously at all, before the battle of Jia, he repeatedly contacted Shi Congbin to persuade him to surrender, but was refused, annoyed and ashamed, and killed people to vent his anger.
Yang Wenkai's book "Sun Chuanfang's Anti-Fenglian Fengshi and The Beginning and End" also recorded this, and after Sun Chuanfang ordered Shi Congbin to be killed, his staff advised: We fight a civil war, treat prisoners, it is not appropriate to kill, it is better to escort Shi to Nanjing for imprisonment. But Sun Chuanfang didn't listen at all, slapping the table and shouting: If you and I were captured by them, wouldn't you be killed?"
Yang also advised Sun to consider it calmly and not to be too hasty. He also said, "It's okay to kill, why ask again tonight, tomorrow, it's not too late to kill."
Sun Sheng said fiercely, "Are you in charge, or am I in charge?"
Shi Congbin was killed that night!
Afterwards, according to the internal judgment of the Feng family, Sun Chuanfang had another hidden plot to kill Shi Congbin, and it is said that during the Second Zhifeng War, Wu Peifu hoped that the six brigades of Jiangsu stationed in Jiangsu could go north to support, but they were blocked by the Shandong side, and it was Shi Congbin who obstructed it and obstructed the Zhi army from going north. After Sun Chuanfang reported the news of the captivity of Shi Congbin to Wu Peifu, Wu Peifu had a new hatred and immediately ordered Sun Chuanfang to execute Shi Congbin.
However, this claim also lacks evidence, and can only be said to be possible.
Then again, Sun Chuanfang, a big warlord, killed a small military commander with some seniority, even if he violated the unspoken rules, but killing is also killing, under the chaos of the world, justice is not in the hearts of the people, right and wrong lie in strength, there is strength to have the right to speak, even if it violates the law, others can not do anything to him.
No one expected that Shi Congbin's daughter Shi Jianqiao, unswerving, avenged her father, endured for ten years, and finally found an opportunity after Sun Chuanfang went to the field and struck a blow.
A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late!
Shi Jianqiao was sentenced to seven years in prison, but after only one year in prison, he was pardoned by the Nanjing government, after which Shi Jianqiao frequently participated in various social activities and lived until his death in Beijing in 1979.
