In 1934, Shi Liangcai, a well-known newspaperman and owner of the "Declaration" museum, was suddenly assassinated on his way back to Shanghai from Hangzhou.
It is said that the assassination of Shi Liangcai also has a great relationship with the "Chinese Civil Rights Protection Alliance", and the death of Yang Xingfo is a lesson for the past.
The Chinese Civil Rights Protection League was initiated in Shanghai in 1932 by Song Qingling, Cai Yuanpei, Yang Xingfo and others, and although Shi Liangcai did not join, he designated two reporters from the "Declaration" to join in their personal names and personally attended the inaugural meeting of the League.
The Alliance for the Protection of Civil Rights advocated the protection of civil rights, and at the same time advocated "stopping the civil war and uniting with the outside world", which ran counter to the Kuomintang's rule, especially the policy of "suppressing bandits and suppressing the inside" promoted by Chiang Kai-shek at that time, and was deeply tabooed by Chiang Kai-shek.
As the core figure of the alliance, Song Qingling's every move is particularly concerned by the secret service. After the declaration that "the Kuomintang is no longer a revolutionary group" was published, Shi Liangcai and Soong Ching-ling had frequent exchanges and became increasingly close.
According to Qian Zhisheng, in 1932 the Nineteenth Route Army "a. During the Songhu War of Resistance, Yang Xingfo accompanied Song Qingling to visit Shi Liangcai, who donated a huge amount of money to the Nineteenth Route Army, which was dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek.
Regarding the publication of the Soong Ching Ling Declaration, Qian Zhisheng also provided another statement.
According to his account, after Song Qingling learned of Deng Yanda's murder, he drafted an English declaration in the name of the "Civil Rights Protection League", which was translated into Chinese by Yang Xingfo, secretary general of the "Civil Rights Protection League", and secretly sent to the "Declaration" museum Shi Liangcai.
However, at that time, the "Declaration" was not published, but was issued on a news agency through Shi Liangcai's relationship.
Qian Zhisheng also said that Shi Liangcai was involved with Yang Xingfo and was the actual commander of the anti-Chiang Kai-shek's declaration against Deng, "On the one hand, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to scare Madame Sun and Cai Yuanpei, the head of another 'Civil Rights Protection League'; on the other hand, he wanted to suppress Shi Liangcai and rob the Declaration." So in 1933, Yang Xingfo was assassinated, and a year later, Shi Liangcai died at the hands of secret agents. ”
Yang Xingfo was then the director general of the Civil Rights Protection League and the director general of the Academia Sinica, but such a famous figure was still assassinated by the agents of the military command, and the crime was extremely rampant.
According to Shen's recollection, Chiang Kai-shek instructed yang Xingfo to assassinate Yang Xingfo mainly to intimidate Soong Ching-ling, so he specially designated the assassination to be carried out near the soong Ching-ling house in the French Concession to play a deterrent role.
On June 18, 1933, Yang Xingfo had just left the Central Research Institute by car, and a special agent team led by Zhao Lijun, an old-fashioned agent of the military command, stopped the car and strafed the car, and in broad daylight, Yang Xingfo and the driver were killed on the spot, and his son Yang Xiaofo was injured.
Based on Shi Liangcai's relationship with Soong Ching Ling and Yang Xingfo, coupled with his deep involvement in the Chinese Civil Rights Protection League, it was difficult for Shi Liangcai not to be noticed by Kuomintang agents.
In addition, the Declaration has reported a large number of news from the China Civil Rights Protection League, and even after the assassination of Yang Xingfo, the Declaration still has detailed follow-up reports.
All these factors add up, and the historical quantity that is tabooed by the strongman finally leads to the disaster of killing, which seems to be completely logical.
Regarding the assassination of Shi Liangcai, Gong Debai, who is known as the "tyrant of the newspaper industry" of the Republic of China, provides another explanation, which is recorded as follows:
"On the day before Shi Liangcai was assassinated, Shi Zengtuo made a good deal of dredging up to a certain side, allowed it not to be carried out, and immediately telegraphed the enforcement personnel in Hangzhou to suspend the execution.
However, the executor drank heavily the night before, failed to translate the telegram that night, and hurriedly said the next morning, on the way to the Beijing-Hangzhou National Highway, waiting for Shi Zhi's car to pass by. I didn't have time to read the telegram. When it was executed, I would look at the telegram again, and Shi was dead and could not be saved.
According to the person concerned with the executive personnel, when the executive officer was on the road, he began to receive the telegram, believing that the execution of the order was a big matter and that the telegram was small, so he put the telegram in his pocket and left in a car. When it is returned to the translation of the telegram, it can no longer be saved. ”
This kind of statement, which is almost the same as a child's play, can only be said to be another smoke bomb released by the agents.
In this regard, the "Southeast Daily" told the truth, and its cloud:
Although "Chairman Chiang Kai-shek sent another telegram to strictly arrest the murderer" and "offered a reward of 10,000 yuan," "the mobs that actually participated in the assassination of such a largely organized assassination group often could not know the motive for the assassination." Therefore, even if the murderer has been arrested since then, it is difficult to find out the background of this case for a while. ”
The chairman's repeated strict orders and heavy rewards are meaningless to cracking the historical case itself, but are just a fig leaf for making a fuss and using it as a fig leaf.
It is believed that Chiang Kai-shek originally started with assassination, but after he took power, he still did not forget his old tricks, which is not what politicians should take, but also shows the narrowness of his instruments and the clumsiness of his means.
If so, its failure on the mainland is not surprising.
