Chapter 8 The fourth quarter big brother Chen Qimei

In May 1906, Chiang Kai-shek traveled east to Japan for the first time. Although he failed to enter the school, he met Chen Qimei for the first time (see L〇h, the Early Chiang Kai-shek, p. 121-122), which was closely related to his life. Big.Both the Chiang family tree and the chronology of Chiang Kai-shek compiled by Chen Bulei said that he was introduced by Chen Qimei to join the Tongmenghui in the 33rd year of Guangxu, which is wrong.Because the year was the Dingwei year, it was from February 3rd, 1907 to February 1st, 1908.Throughout 1907, Chiang was in the country, and it was impossible to join the Tongmenghui in Japan.Even in the spring of 1908, when Chiang set foot on Japanese territory for the second time, Chen Qimei had already returned from Japan (see Yao Hui's "Chen Qimei in the Period of the 1911 Revolution", p. It is even more impossible to be introduced into the Tongmenghui by Chen at this time.Chen introduced Jiang to join the association, probably in Shanghai, because Jiang was studying in Japan and often returned to China during holidays.The Tongmenghui in Tokyo has been divided since Sun Yat-sen left Japan. Most of them belong to the anti-Sun faction, and Chen Qimei belongs to the Sun faction.It is more realistic to say that Chiang Kai-shek participated in the League, rather than joining the Sun and Chen faction.At that time, the procedures for joining the Tongmenghui were very simple. It is very likely that Jiang filled out a form in Shanghai and was supervised by Chen Qimei to join the Tongmenghui.In short, Jiang is Chen Qimei's man and drives for Chen.Chiang's activities before and after the Revolution of 1911 were all decided by Chen on his own initiative, and he mainly participated in the incident in Hangzhou during the year of 1911.Chen gave Jiang 3,600 yuan and 100 "Pioneer Death Squads". After arriving in Hangzhou, he attacked the Governor's Yamen in Zhejiang on November 4. Take control of the urban area, and the six-day resistance ends.Jiang returned to Shanghai from Hangzhou.At that time, Shanghai had also recovered and declared its independence. Chen Qimei used the donations from the Shanghai business group to form the fifth regiment of the Shanghai Army.Chen, Huang, and Jiang then exchanged posts and became brothers.This is the first time that Chiang Kai-shek has sworn many times in his life.

Chiang Kai-shek's performance in the history of the Revolution of 1911 is nothing more than that. If he was killed in battle in Hangzhou, his historical reputation would not be higher than that of Wang Jinfa. After the Revolution of 1911, he assassinated the revolutionary hero Tao Chengzhang for his elder brother Chen Qimei; in 1914, when Sun Yat-sen begged Yuan, he was ordered by Chen to act in Shanghai;Until May 18, 1916, when Chen Qimei was assassinated to death, Jiang had always been Chen Qimei's man, and his relationship with Sun Yat-sen was indirect. Of course, the death of Chen Qimei made Chiang Kai-shek extremely sad. In the name of his brother-in-law, he wrote a "Worship for Chen Yingshi", which began with the words: "Woohoo! From now on, the world will be ignorant of my depth and love me He is as loyal as a public man!" Later, he loved the house and Wu even more, and after making a fortune, he reused Chen Qimei's two nephews—Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu, so much so that there was a saying that "the Jiang family is under the Chen family party".

After Chen Qimei's death, Jiang and Sun gradually established a relatively direct relationship.But later, the Kuomintang officials were "smart after the fact" and always wanted to exaggerate the relationship between Sun and Jiang and advance the time when Sun and Jiang first met. For example, Li Dongfang said in "The Preface to Chiang Kai-shek": Jiang Gong joined the Tongmenghui in the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu, and it was not until mid-June in the second year of Xuantong that he had the opportunity to meet the father of the country in Japan.The reason is that the founding father was forced to leave the country by the Japanese government on February 17th, Guangxu thirty-two years, and he was not able to come back until June in the second year of Xuantong.In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu, it was the martyr Chen Qimei who introduced Jiang Gong to join the Tongmenghui.It was Chen Qimei, the martyr, who introduced him to the Father of the Nation in June of the second year of Xuantong.The father of the country was very pleased to see Jiang Gong; at that time, among the comrades of the Tongmenghui, there were very few military professionals.The father of the nation had a long talk with Chiang Kai-shek about specific revolutionary strategies and military plans.Later, Chen Xianlie told the Father of the Nation that Jiang Gong was not only an outstanding military scholar, but also had a down-to-earth speech and insightful insights, and he would definitely become a "revolutionary implementer."He is the "person really needed" by the League. (Page 27)

Li Dongfang's "father of the nation" is Sun Yat-sen.Sun was forced to leave the country by the Japanese government in 1907, which was the 33rd year of Guangxu, not the 32nd year.As for June of the second year of Xuantong (1910), Jiang Jingchen introduced that he and Sun first met in Tokyo, and that Sun Hui met Jiang with eyes, etc., are all based on the official statement of the Kuomintang, and the purpose is to make the two heroes meet sooner. See the better, in order to establish a revolutionary legal system one after another.Li Dongfang's statement is rather implicit. In the "Biography of Mr. Chiang Kai-shek" in the "Complete Works of Chiang Kai-shek" edited by Bei Hua, it is said that Chen was in front of Sun, and he was called Chiang so that Sun was in Tokyo. Chen Qimei said that he was a junior, so he still invited him to see Sun Yat-sen, so Chiang Kai-shek "dressed in the uniform of the non-commissioned officer school" (according to Chiang Kai-shek did not go to the non-commissioned officer school, see Li Ao's "Chiang Kai-shek is Did you graduate from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy?" article), "the attitude is so strong that you stand in front of the prime minister." Sun Yat-sen "stared at him for a long time", but he was overjoyed and praised.Later, for any plan, you have to ask Chiang Kai-shek first.Dong Xianguang's English version even mentions the scene of "the meeting of two heroes". Thirteen) words.Deng Wenyi's book "Chairman Jiang" is even more icing on the cake. The scene where the "two heroes" meet in Tokyo is refurbished. Using Sun Yat-sen's mouth, he said, "This non-commissioned officer student must be a great talent in the party in the future." I don't know Chiang Kai-shek never went to the Japanese military academy.

In fact, it was absolutely impossible for Chiang Kai-shek to meet Sun Yat-sen in 1910 or 1909.Regarding the statement in 1909 (that is, the statement of Wu Jingheng and Chen Bulei), it is actually self-defeating, because in the whole year of 1909, according to the "Chronicles of the Fathers of the People's Republic of China" (updated version), Sun Yat-sen never visited Japan , since he has never been to Japan, the theory that Chiang Kai-shek met Sun Yat-sen in Japan is naturally untenable! As for the theory of 1910, according to the "Chronicle of the Founding Fathers" (updated version), although Sun Yat-sen arrived on June 10 of this year Passed Japan, but was sent away by the Japanese on the 25th of the same month, and went to Singapore, coming and going in a hurry. During the 15 days, "the action was particularly meticulous, even members of the alliance rarely met", only Huang Xing , Zhao Sheng, Song Jiaoren, Tan Renfeng.There is no way to see Chen Qimei, let alone the unknown person introduced by Chen Qimei! According to Xu Yongping's Chronicle of Mr. Chen Yingshi Qimei in the Republic of China, Chen Qimei was not in Japan throughout 1910.Since Chen Qimei is not in Japan, the matter of Chen bringing Jiang to meet Sun cannot be established at all!

From Chiang Kai-shek's own statement, we can see serious contradictions and flaws.On August 13, 1935, at the flag-raising ceremony of the Emei Military Training Corps, Chiang lectured on "Basic Elements of a Revolutionary Army", saying that "follow the Premier at the age of eighteen", but in "Thirty-ninth Year (1950) The New Year's Day Message to the Compatriots of the National Army and Civilians", said that "following the father of the nation" began in "childhood".Since it says "childhood", then to put it in a more generous way, I am afraid that it is also under ten years old.Under the age of ten, that is, to "follow" Sun Yat-sen and "participate in the revolution", this is naturally inconsistent with historical facts.On the other hand, on March 29, 1975, he said again:

Since Yu Shufa, he has followed the Prime Minister's revolution, and has always regarded himself as a follower of Jesus Christ and the Prime Minister... "Bundled hair" means that in ancient times, when a boy became a child, he tied his hair into a bun; it was used to symbolize becoming a child.This statement may be equivalent to the statement in 1950 that "following the father of the nation when I was young".However, no matter whether it is "childhood" or "haircut", it is helplessly inconsistent with historical facts.Even the statement of "following the Prime Minister at the age of eighteen" is completely unfounded.Because according to any Chiang Kai-shek chronology, he was eighteen years old in 1904, when he was still studying old books at Fenglu School in his hometown, and it was 1909 or one year before the so-called "meeting of the two heroes". In 1910, there was still an interval of five or six years.That being the case, how can we "follow the father of the nation and participate in the revolution"?

The exact date of Chiang Kai-shek's first meeting with Sun Yat-sen, he inadvertently provided a clue himself. In his "Letter to the National Youth on the Second Anniversary of the Founding of the Three People's Principles Youth League", he clearly stated that the date he met Sun Yat-sen was not in the first two years of the Republic of China (1999) 10), but in the second year of the Republic of China (1913), it was "I was twenty-seven years old, that is, the period when the battle against Yuan began in the second year of the Republic of China"! In addition, in 1963, another unintentional It was revealed that the date he met Sun Yat-sen was not in the first two years of the Republic of China (1910), but in the second year of the Republic of China (1913). "It was not until the age of 27 that the Prime Minister summoned me alone."Lu Peiyong, a scholar in the United States, also believes that "the two first met, from the end of March to mid-June 1913, when Mr. Sun was in Shanghai."

Each piece is written vividly, but each piece is a myth.
