He was the first premier of the Republic of China, not afraid of the great powers, and the old Chiang Thought he had committed a traitor and was assassinated by the military command
The Military Command Bureau led by Dai Kasa assassinated many traitors who had treasonously surrendered to the enemy, and this was worthy of affirmation, for example, the assassination of Fu Xiao'an, the pseudo-mayor of Shanghai, a traitor, gave everyone a bad breath.
However, Dai Kasa's Military Command Bureau also made mistakes, and on that occasion, Dai Kasa sent agents to assassinate a suspected traitor, and he was denounced by all the people of the country. What's going on? Who were the people who were assassinated?
The person assassinated by the military commander this time was named Tang Shaoyi, who was once the prime minister of the Republic of China. The reason why Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Kasa of the Kuomintang wanted to kill him had a lot to do with his choice of taking sides. He and Sun Yat-sen's political views are not in harmony, while Yuan Shikai is a commodity all the way.
Once upon a time, Tang Shaoyi had always been a high-ranking official in the Qing government, and his diplomatic skills were very strong. Just because he could negotiate with the powers of various countries, Yuan Shikai, who had no one in sight, was very impressed.
When Britain had always coveted our Tibet, it formulated a "Treaty of Lhasa," in which Tang Shaoyi went to India as a representative of the Republic of China to negotiate, and the British forced Tang Shaoyi to sign the treaty.
The British were very angry about his behavior, but Tang Shaoyi argued on the basis of reason, and after more than a dozen consecutive negotiations without result, he returned directly to China and left the British there to be embarrassed.
In the end, the British followed him to Beijing, and the plan to occupy Tibet was also frustrated, and the two sides signed the "Renewal of the Tibet-India Treaty" to recognize Tibet as China's territory, which shows that Tang Shaoyi's diplomatic means are very powerful.
An incident that happened in the last years of the Qing Dynasty showed that Tang Shaoyi was not afraid of the Western powers. At that time, an Englishman named Hurd was in charge of the Customs heavy tax department, and because the tax department had great power, Hurd never paid attention to others.
Later, Tang Shaoyi took charge of the General Administration of Taxation, and the British Hurd could no longer continue to be arrogant. If Hurd hadn't handed over the handbook, Tang Shaoyi wouldn't have seen him. In the end, there was no way, the British could only honestly hand over the handbook.
After the founding of the Republic of China, Tang Shaoyi, because of his strong diplomatic ability and ability to accept various forces, recommended him as the first premier of the Republic of China. However, Tang Shaoyi's premier was not easy to do, and he was thankless both externally and internally, so he became prime minister for 3 months.
After resigning, Tang Shaoyi was preparing to go to Shanghai to spend the rest of his life, but at that time, the Japanese had already occupied Shanghai, and they wanted Tang Shaoyi, who had been the prime minister, to help the Japanese do things. But in the past, in the face of various powers, Tang Shaoyi never bowed his head, and he certainly would not be a traitor.
However, Chiang Kai-shek did not trust him, and before Tang Shaoyi could stand up, he asked Dai Kasa to kill him. Dai Kasa also arranged for the secret agent Zhao Lijun to complete the assassination. Zhao Lijun knew that Tang Shaoyi liked antiques, so he set a trap, successfully met with Tang Shaoyi alone, and finally hacked Tang Shaoyi to death with an axe.
After Tang Shaoyi was assassinated, the people of the whole country condemned it one after another, saying that Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Kasa had killed innocent people indiscriminately. In the midst of the huge condemnation, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to hold a solemn memorial service for Tang Shaoyi and also asked the National History Museum to give Tang Shaoyi a biography.
