On November 13, 1935, at the famous Buddhist holy place in Tianjin, The venerable Master Fu Ming was earnestly lecturing to the faithful. In the middle of the Buddhist hall sat a group of Buddhist laymen, including an elderly man, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, extremely devout, he was the great warlord Sun Chuanfang, who once threatened the north and south of the great river.
Just as everyone was concentrating on closing their eyes and chanting, suddenly a woman came from behind, pulled out a Browning pistol, and pulled the trigger on Sun Chuanfang's head. Sun Chuanfang fell to the ground in response, and suddenly the Buddhist hall was disrupted, and after the female assassin saw Sun Chuanfang being shot and fell to the ground, she immediately calmly fired two more shots to confirm that Sun had been killed.
This is the case that occurred in the twenty years of the Republic of China, shocking China and foreign Shi Jianqiao to avenge his father, and the calm female assassin was the famous Republic of China heroine Shi Jianqiao. The feud between her and Sun Chuanfang stemmed from the Zhifeng War ten years ago.
In 1925, Shi Jianqiao's father, Shi Congbin, was the commander of the Second Army of the Fengjun Army, and led the troops to engage Sun Chuanfang, who was defeated and captured. Because Sun Chuanfang tried his best to woo Shi Congbin, but was rejected, he held a grudge from then on.
After the warlord melee, the treatment of prisoners was basically based on surrender, but because Shi Congbin swore to die and did not surrender, coupled with his previous resentment, Sun Chuanfang not only executed Shi Congbin but also cruelly cut off his head and hung it at Bengbu Station for public display.
The news reached Shi Congbin's family, and Shi Jianqiao vowed to hand blade Sun Chuanfang in this life to avenge his father. Shi Jianqiao knew very well in his heart that it would not be easy to assassinate Sun Chuanfang, so he was also ready to die, and she endured for ten years for revenge.
Shi Jianqiao made full preparations before the assassination, and after confirming that Sun Chuanfang was killed on the spot, she did not take advantage of the chaos to flee the scene, but distributed the reasons for revenge and Shi Congbin's photos prepared in advance to the masses. After the police arrived, they tied their hands and confessed to their assassination.
According to The law of the Republic of China, Shi Jianqiao should be sentenced to at least ten years or life imprisonment, but this is strange that Shi Jianqiao was not only not sentenced to a heavy sentence, but also was pardoned after less than a year in prison. This woman is not an ordinary person, and there is actually a lot behind her.
After Shi Jianqiao's arrest, it attracted great attention from the domestic and foreign media, and for a time there was a lot of discussion about Shi Jianqiao's revenge for his father. Even Feng Yuxiang, a core member of the Kuomintang at that time, actively ran to rescue Shi Jianqiao, who was known as the heroine of the Republic of China. In fact, Shi Jianqiao's arrangement for assassinating Sun Chuanfang was very elaborate, and it also paved the way for future rescue work.
First of all, Feng Yuxiang was originally the subordinate of Shi Congyun, Shi Jianqiao's biological father, and it was reasonable to save Shi Jianxiang in order to repay the favor of the encounter. Although Shi Jianqiao was assassinated alone, her plan was well planned, well-equipped, the timing was appropriate, and she was given preferential treatment after being arrested, which showed that there was a senior team behind her planning.
The Browning pistol used by Shi Jianqiao at that time was well-crafted and stable, and the possibility of jamming and misfire was very small, but it was expensive and very rare, and even if it was willing to pay a high price, it was difficult to buy in the market.
According to the later declassified information, it was actually shi Jianqiao who was closely assisted by Zhang Keyao of the Blue Jacket Society and Shi Zhongda of the Nanjing Teaching Team. Sun Chuanfang's whereabouts, appearance, Browning pistol, and timing of the operation were most likely provided to Shi Jianqiao by these two well-trained officers.
Due to Feng Yuxiang's active campaign, coupled with the pressure of public opinion, the Nationalist government soon announced a pardon for Shi Jianqiao. Of course, Chiang Kai-shek knew all these things well, and he had no opinion on the amnesty of Shi Jianqiao. Since there was the assistance of the Blue Jacket Society before, this shows that Chiang Kai-shek has long been involved in the assassination of Sun Chuanfang.
