On August 15, 1945, the Emperor of Japan announced his unconditional surrender, and the War of Resistance Against Japan won a comprehensive victory, and the whole country rejoiced.
Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government was also making preparations for the return of the capital to Nanjing, but there was only one thing that always made old Chiang feel like a fish in his throat, which was very unpleasant.
On the plum blossom hill near the left of nanjing's Zhongxiao Mausoleum, there is a special mausoleum, and the owner of the tomb is the infamous Wang Jingwei, you know, in the Zhongxiao Mausoleum is the father of the country Sun Yat-sen, what qualifications does he Wang Jingwei have to be buried here?
Yu Gong, Wang Jingwei is a big traitor shouted and beaten by everyone, and he is a lackey of the Japanese; in private, Chiang Kai-shek can be said to hate Wang Jingwei to the bone, and if the people Chiang Kai-shek hates the most are ranked, Wang Jingwei will certainly be able to rank in the top three.
As for why Chiang Kai-shek hated Wang Jingwei so much, it goes back to the death of Sun Yat-sen, the father of the country.
At that time, Wang Jingwei and Sun Yat-sen were also teachers and friends, and they had a close relationship, and Sun Yat-sen also trusted him and entrusted him with heavy responsibilities, so Wang Jingwei's position in the Kuomintang at that time was far above Chiang Kai-shek.
After Sun Yat-sen's death, Wang Jingwei, who had always prided himself on being the second-largest person in the party, naturally felt that he was the best candidate to inherit Sun Yat-sen's position, but Chiang Kai-shek, who held the military power in his hands, was not a lord who was willing to live under the people, so the power struggle between the two people began.
In November 1935, the Kuomintang held a congress to discuss the anti-Japanese issues, Chiang Kai-shek was absent for some reason, it was at this meeting, Wang Jingwei was assassinated by assassins, 3 bullets in his body, although he finally saved his life, but one bullet stuck in the spine could not be removed, Wang Jingwei had to go to Japan for treatment, and has since left the power center of the Kuomintang.
Afterwards, Wang Jingwei always suspected that the assassination was arranged by the old Chiang Kai-shek, and when he was well raised in Japan, the power of the Kuomintang had already fallen into the hands of Chiang Kai-shek, so he also hated Chiang Kai-shek to the extreme.
Later, when the Xi'an Incident broke out, Wang Jingwei saw the opportunity to return to China and tried to take advantage of chiang kai-shek's house arrest to control the Kuomintang, but unexpectedly, before he arrived in China, the Xi'an Incident was peacefully resolved, and all wang Jingwei's plans were in vain.
Later, Wang Jingwei simply and completely defected to the Japanese, established a Wang puppet government with the support of the Japanese, and from then on completely degenerated into a traitor, and chiang kai-shek and Wang Jingwei became mortal enemies, and they wanted to get rid of each other quickly.
It was just that Wang Jingwei's retribution came too quickly, and in 1943, Wang Jingwei, who had just been in the scenery for a few years, relapsed from his old injuries and had to go to Japan for convalescence again.
After careful treatment in Japan, Wang Jingwei's injuries finally improved, but he caught up with the US bombing of Tokyo, and as a result, Wang Jingwei's injuries worsened again, and he soon wailed and mourned.
Before his death, Wang Jingwei once told his wife Chen Bijun that he hoped that he would be buried in Meihua Mountain after death and accompany Sun Yat-sen, which also had the matter of Chen Bijun building a tomb for Wang Jingwei at Meihua Mountain later.
Although Wang Jingwei died early, Chiang Kai-shek's hatred for him did not diminish in the slightest, so whether out of personal feelings or out of consideration for public opinion, Wang Jingwei's cemetery must be relocated.
Since ancient times, China has had the saying that the dead are greater, and if the graves of others are openly destroyed in this way, even if they are buried with people like Wang Jingwei, who are extremely evil, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation, so this matter must be handed over to a person who handles things safely and is deeply trusted by old Jiang.
At that time, the first candidate that Chiang Kai-shek thought of was He Yingqin, the head of the Chongqing camp.
Although the relationship between Chiang Kai-shek and He Yingqin was somewhat delicate, in some respects the old Chiang Kai-shek had always been wary of He Yingqin, especially after the Xi'an Incident, the estrangement between the two became wider and wider.
However, Chiang Kai-shek still has a relatively strong trust in this disciple who once saved his own life, and besides, he believes that with He Yingqin's old scheming and deep calculations, he will certainly be able to handle this matter properly; of course, as for whether old Chiang Kai-shek has the idea of throwing the pot at He Yingqin once this matter is exposed, we do not know.
No matter what Chiang Kai-shek really thought, in short, this errand finally fell into the hands of He Yingqin, and He Yingqin, who received the old Chiang Kai-shek's secret order, was also very embarrassed, the old Chiang was afraid of being poked in the spine by others, He Yingqin also did not want to bear the infamy, but he did not dare to disobey the principal's order, after all, there was already a dirty relationship between the two people, and if he openly disobeyed the order, the end would never be better.
Chiang Kai-shek's order has already been issued, and it is absolutely impossible to make any changes, and He Yingqin can only say one word to guarantee the completion of the task, and as for what to do with the errands, he can only take one step at a time.
On the evening of January 15, 1946, He Yingqin summoned the senior governors of Nanjing and held an emergency meeting on Huangpu Road.
The participants included Ma Chaojun, mayor of Nanjing, Ma Chongliu, commander of the army headquarters engineers, Zhang Zhen, commander of the Nanjing Gendarmerie, Xiao Yisu, chief of staff of the army, and Qiu Weida, commander of the Nanjing garrison.
When the crowd arrived at the meeting place, they saw that He Yingqin was already sitting on the main seat, looking a little serious, and the crowd could not help but be a little worried, guessing in their hearts what trouble Chief He had encountered.
The high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang can only be regarded as second-rate if they want to lead the troops to fight, but if they talk about observing the color of speech, they are all masters of the top.
Seeing that He Yingqin's face was not good, no one would touch the chief's moldy head at this time, so they were much more honest than usual, sitting quietly in their seats one by one, obediently waiting for He Yingqin to speak.
As the meeting time approached, He Yingqin glanced up and glanced around, and when he saw that the people had arrived, he said:
"Today, He X has invited you to come here with only one thing to say, but today I am talking about all the top secrets of the party-state, and he Mou's mouth is in your ears, and it must not be passed on."
After saying this, He Yingqin paused slightly, and saw that everyone nodded and said yes before continuing:
"Now that the Japanese have announced their surrender, the chairman of the committee will soon return the capital to Nanjing, but right next to Mr. Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum, there is a traitor and traitor buried. What qualifications does Wang Zhaoming have to be buried there, not to mention that the commission cannot agree, and the people of the whole country will definitely not agree. Therefore, before the commission comes to Nanjing, this matter must be resolved, and as for how to solve it, it is up to you to use your brains. How Wu Luo must give a plan today, you are here to discuss for the time being, He Mou has other important matters, and he will resign first. After saying that, he did not give the crowd a chance to react, so he took the guard and left.
Looking at the back of He Yingqin's disappearance, everyone was stunned, feeling that you He Yingqin had come with a hand to take the neighbor as a barrier, everyone you look at me, I look at you, I feel very embarrassed, the so-called official first-level crushing people, just how Ying qin can not refuse Chiang Kai-shek, they also do not have the right to resist.
Seeing that the conference room was a little cold, Xiao Yisu, who had already received the news, stood up and smiled slightly, and said:
"Gentlemen, to tell you the truth, Chief He has already received instructions from the chairman of the committee that Wang Jingwei's tomb must be removed, and only give us 10 days."
Hearing that the time given by Shangfeng was so urgent, everyone immediately began to talk about it, xiao Yisu gently raised his hands and pressed down a little, and continued:
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, and listen to what Shaw said. Since the chairman of the committee has given the order, we are willing to do this matter, and we have to do it if we are unwilling. At this point, in my opinion, we should not think so much, and move Wang Jingwei's grave away as soon as possible. Left and right are just the graveyards of a traitor, what can be done when they move. ”
Hearing Xiao Yisu say this, someone immediately retorted:
"You said it lightly, his tomb of Wang Jingwei is so easy to move." Unbeknownst to Staff Officer Xiao, Wang Jingwei's cemetery was built by his wife, Chen Bijun. When it was built, she had already talked about it, with Wang Jingwei's deeds, I am afraid that the body will not be peaceful after death, so this cemetery uses the best quality reinforced concrete, even if we start to dismantle it now, I am afraid that it will not be demolished in 10 days. ”
Xiao Yisu nodded and said:
"I naturally knew about this, so I specially prepared 150 tons of TNT explosives, and I didn't believe in blowing up a cemetery in the uneven area."
Hearing this crazy plan, everyone opened their mouths in surprise, followed by a tidal wave of opposition.
After all, the movement of using explosives is really too big, and it is best not to make the world know about such a thing as digging people's graves.
Xiao Yisu smiled mysteriously and said, "Rest assured, Chief He has already made arrangements for this, and it will be guaranteed that the people of Nanjing will not find out about this matter." ”
Then he repeated the specific plan, and everyone put their hearts into their stomachs.
On the night of January 21, 1946, a rapid alarm sounded over Nanjing, and all the citizens of Nanjing, who had long been asleep, were awakened by this sharp sound.
People who have been suffering from war for a long time naturally understand what this alarm means, but what everyone does not understand is that Japan has not already surrendered? How could anyone still have enemy troops bombing Nanjing at this time?
Although there were some doubts in their hearts, for the sake of safety, the citizens immediately got up and ran with their families to the nearest air raid shelter, at the same time, the tomb of Wang Jingwei located on Meihua Mountain had been surrounded by gendarmes, and the sappers of the 74th Army were busy laying TNT explosives in front of the cemetery.
Army Commander Ma Chongliu stared closely at the busy soldiers in front of him, with a serious expression, and his heart was somewhat uneasy, after all, in that era, the theory of ghosts and gods had been circulating in the folk for a long time, especially those who were in high positions, and they had a more rather credible attitude towards it.
Although Ma Chongliu was also ordered to do so involuntarily, it was false to dig out a person who had passed away for several years from his grave and say that he was not vain.
The air defense siren had been sounding for some time, and the engineers' TNT explosives had been arranged, and it was estimated that the operation would soon begin, and when he thought of seeing Wang Jingwei's body soon, Ma Chongliu's heart was churning.
At this moment, a service soldier ran to Ma Chaojun's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Waving back the guards, Ma Chongliu straightened his somewhat wrinkled military uniform with his white gloved hands, calmed his thoughts, took a step forward and said loudly: "Brothers, the people of Nanjing have been evacuated, and I have ordered to start acting immediately." ”
After a while, the citizens hiding in the air raid shelter heard an earth-shattering loud noise, because with the air raid siren, everyone did not have any special reaction, after all, it was more reasonable to have an explosion at this time, but this time the explosion seemed to be much shorter than usual.
Speaking of this side of Meihua Mountain, with a few loud noises, the steel-concrete structure and the inner cellar on the outskirts of Wang Jingwei Cemetery instantly disappeared, and when the dust settled, a coffin made of golden silk nan wood was presented in front of everyone's eyes.
Looking at this valuable coffin in front of him, Ma Chongliu knew that the world's first traitor was buried inside.
Ma Chongliu stabilized his mind and led the soldiers straight to the coffin, and immediately at the sound of an order, the crowd rushed up to open the coffin, and Wang Jingwei's body was exposed to everyone's sight.
But with the exposure of Wang Jingwei's body, the soldiers gathered in front of the coffin were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Looking at the soldiers as if they had been cast by someone, staring at the coffin without moving, Ma Chongliu was very confused and muttered in his heart: "The things that the chairman of the committee personally commanded do not dare to have accidents." He immediately stepped forward to separate the people and looked eagerly into the coffin.
When he saw the scene inside, Rao was also surprised that Ma Chongliu, who had experienced great winds and waves, was also surprised.
I saw that the person inside the coffin was wearing a blue-gray robe and a horse coat, wearing a puppet government official's hat, a large ribbon across his waist, and a flag on his body.
From the appearance, Ma Chaojun could clearly identify that this person was Wang Jingwei, but the blame was that the person had been dead for several years, and it was said that there should only be one skeleton left in the coffin at this time, and the Wang Jingwei inside the coffin, except for some gray and a few green spots, was no different from when he was alive.
No wonder Ma Chongliu lost his square inch at first sight, anyone who saw such a strange scene, I am afraid that he could not remain calm, and soon Ma Chongliu returned to God, he carefully scanned around Wang Jingwei's body, and then found some strange bags.
After a little thought, Ma Chongliu pointed to the bags and said:
"Brethren, don't be afraid, the reason why Wang Jingwei's body did not decay was because it was embalmed when he was buried, and you see that those bags were used to contain antiseptic materials."
The soldiers looked in the direction of Ma Chongliu's finger and found that the facts were indeed as the commander said, and the crowd gradually returned to calm.
The next step was a careful examination, a soldier found a note in Wang Jingwei's jacket pocket, opened it and saw that it was written with a brush "Soul Return" four big characters, the end of the money is Chen Bijun, presumably this should be his wife Chen Bijun, basically hope that his soul can sleep peacefully, but her wish is ultimately impossible to achieve.
After the inspection, Ma Chongliu ordered his subordinates to load Wang Jingwei's body with the coffin onto a truck and transport it to the Qingliangshan crematorium, in fact, before opening the coffin. The soldiers had always thought that the task was to remove Wang Jingwei's coffin, but when Ma Chongliu ordered the coffin to be opened, things had become somewhat intriguing, after all, there was no need to open the coffin at all.
At this moment, everyone instantly understood that this was to raise Wang Jingwei's bones to ashes, and I was afraid that the so-called relocation of the tomb was just a smoke bomb released by the high-level.
In the end, a fire erased the last trace of Wang Jingwei's remaining in the world, and there have been many opinions as to where his ashes went.
Some people say that Chiang Kai-shek ordered people to blow it away with a blower, and some people say that he was casually thrown into the ditch next to the road by the soldiers, in short, Wang Jingwei finally ended up with no bones, which is not a punishment for his past sins.
Half a month later, on the Plum Blossom Hill next to the Ming Tomb, there was no trace of Wang Jingwei's cemetery, as if it had never existed at all, and in the original cemetery, it was replaced by a beautiful pavilion for tourists to rest and watch.
It is said that a few months later, the news of Wang Jingwei's relocation of the grave was leaked, and a woman found Ma Chaojun, the mayor of Nanjing, who claimed to be Wang Jingwei's daughter and had just returned from abroad, and she asked the municipal government to return Wang Jingwei's body and bring it back to her hometown in Guangdong for burial.
Ma Chaojun naturally knew that Wang Jingwei's body had long been wiped out, so he sent her to the army headquarters, so this woman ran to find He Yingqin, He Yingqin also turned it away, who expected that this woman was really some stubborn and tenacious, you He Yingqin did not see me, I came to make trouble every day, so she became a regular visitor to the army headquarters, crying at the door every day.
Later, He Yingqin was also anxious, this woman was doing things outside every day, if this was hyped up by people with hearts, it was greatly unfavorable to the image of the government, so another day, the woman went to the army headquarters as usual to report, and this time she was greeted by the muzzle of the guard's black hole hole.
A sentence of "If you make trouble again, you will be dealt with according to Wang Jingwei's accomplice, and you will be shot for the crime of adultery." The frightened woman took the road and fled, and after that, the woman never appeared again, and the incident of blowing up Wang Jingwei's cemetery gradually subsided.
When he was young, Wang Jingwei was also full of ambitions, regarded death as a homecoming, and was also imprisoned for resisting the tyranny of the Qing government, and even wrote "Lead the knife into a fast, live up to the head of the youth." " touching verse.
Only in the face of power and wealth, Wang Jingwei finally lost himself, failed to live up to his former ideals, chose to stand against the Chinese people, and became a historical sinner spurned by thousands of people!
