Lead
Because of Chiang Kai-shek's betrayal, Sun Yat-sen's followers were heartbroken, and Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei betrayed the revolution and launched the counter-revolutionary coup d'état of the 412 and Ninghan confluence.
When Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei staged a coup d'état, they both regarded Sun Yat-sen's wife Soong Ching-ling as a thorn in the flesh and wanted to eradicate her.
Chiang Kai-shek even had murderous intentions towards Soong Qingling and tried his best to eradicate him, and why did Soong Qingling become Chiang Kai-shek's unforgivable person, and who made Chiang Kai-shek not dispose of Soong Qingling in the end?
Let's find out today.
1. Chiang Kai-shek was murderous towards Soong Ching-ling.
As Sun Yat-sen's wife, Song Qingling was naturally also a loyal follower of Sun Yat-sen, and after Sun Yat-sen's death, Soong Qingling did not leave the revolutionary ranks and continued Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary cause.
In the revolutionary ranks, Soong Ching-ling has been attacking all kinds of unhealthy tendencies within the Kuomintang, which she believes is not in line with Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideas, so she began to openly criticize Chiang Kai-shek and others, which made Chiang Kai-shek very unhappy and murderous to Soong Ching-ling.
Especially when Chiang Kai-shek raided Niu Lan and his wife's house, Soong Ching-ling shouted "What kind of Kuomintang is this, what kind of revolution is this", and greatly criticized Chiang Kai-shek's behavior.
Chiang Kai-shek thought very highly of himself and thought that he had single-handedly established the Kuomintang, but Soong Ching-ling's dissatisfaction with him was open, and after Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he was even more angry in his heart, and tried his best to eradicate Soong Ching-ling, so he ordered the spies to deal with Soong Ching-ling.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek's spy Shen Zui also tried his best to dispose of Song Qingling, but Song Qingling was protected by Song Meiling and Song Ziwen, and Shen Zui tried many ways but failed to dispose of Song Qingling.
And Song Meiling and Song Ziwen kept pleading, forcing Chiang Kai-shek not to dispose of Song Qingling in the end, but how did Shen Zui dispose of Song Qingling at that time?
2. The intervention of Song Meiling and Song Ziwen.
Soong Meiling and Soong Ziwen are Sun Yat-sen's daughters and loyal followers of Sun Yat-sen, and the Soong family has always been the backbone of the revolution, so they also have a great say within the Kuomintang.
So when Chiang Kai-shek ordered Song Qingling to be disposed of, Shen Zui tried many ways without success, but he found that Song Meiling and Song Ziwen respected Chiang Kai-shek very much, so he came to Song Meiling and Song Ziwen, and wanted to dispose of Song Qingling through them.
Shen Zui patted his chest and assured that he persuaded Song Meiling and Song Ziwen to reassure them that he would dispose of Song Qingling, and even told Song Meiling and Song Ziwen about the benefits after disposing of Song Qingling.
And Song Meiling and Song Ziwen also have great respect for Chiang Kai-shek, and Shen Zui is also Chiang Kai-shek's right-hand man, so they also believe in Shen Zui's words very much, and finally agreed to get rid of Song Qingling.
And Shen drunk his men arrested Song Qingling, Song Qingling was very panicked at that time, so Song Qingling pleaded in front of Song Meiling and Song Ziwen, hoping that they could come forward to save his life.
At that time, Song Meiling and Song Ziwen were also very contradictory, on the one hand, they wanted to help Song Qingling, and on the other hand, they wanted to help Shen Zui, and in the end they also chose Shen Zui, but they also didn't want to see Song Qingling disposed of, so they found Shen Zui and asked Shen Zui to reduce Song Qingling's crime to the crime of collaborating with the enemy.
Shen Zui was also very conflicted, because he knew how much Chiang Kai-shek hated Song Qingling, even if he reduced Song Qingling's charge to the charge of collaborating with the enemy, Chiang Kai-shek would not let her go, but he wanted to continue to use the power of Song Meiling and Song Ziwen, so he finally reduced Song Qingling's charge to the charge of collaborating with the enemy and escorted him to Shanghai, and finally Soong Qingling was spared.
Third, Shen Zui did not dispose of Song Qingling in the end.
When she was in Shanghai, Song Qingling was also persecuted by the Kuomintang, and was even taken to the secret room by Chiang Kai-shek's spy Shen Zui, hoping that she could sabotage the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but Song Qingling refused Shen Zui's request with righteous words, and in the end Shen Zui did not succeed, and Song Qingling was released by Chiang Kai-shek.
And after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Song Qingling also made Chiang Kai-shek's actions public, making Chiang Kai-shek infamy, but this incident made people see the role of the family in the political struggle.
The intervention of Soong Meiling and Soong Ziwen prevented Chiang Kai-shek from eradicating Soong Ching-ling's life in the end, and Chiang Kai-shek's murderous behavior towards Soong Ching-ling undoubtedly exposed his dictatorial nature.
Chiang Kai-shek, whether it is for political opponents or relatives, as long as they offend him, will not let go, which also makes people see the corruption of power on morality, Chiang Kai-shek was once a loyal follower of Sun Yat-sen, but when he had more power, he betrayed Sun Yat-sen, and started to kill the widow of the revolutionary mentor.
And Shen Zui also felt guilty for what he had done in the process of dealing with Soong Ching Ling, he was once Chiang Kai-shek's right-hand man, but when Chiang Kai-shek made him betray his faith and betray his conscience, he began to struggle again, which also reflects the inner contradictions of many people in history who were forced to betray their beliefs.
epilogue
Chiang Kai-shek was murderous to Soong Ching-ling, and finally did not dispose of Soong Ching-ling, and there are many complex interpersonal and political factors behind this, which require us to dig deep and analyze, and for the behavior and decisions of historical figures, we also need to take history as a mirror and constantly sum up lessons and lessons.
