Chapter 10 Chapter Ten: The First Mysterious Case of the Republic of China

At ten o'clock in the evening on March 20, 1913, at the entrance of Shanghai Railway Station (Old North Station). Gunshots sounded!Song Jiaoren, who was about to go from Shanghai to Beijing, fell to the ground in pain. Looking around, I saw a black figure in the crowd fleeing desperately. Friends Huang Xing, Yu Youren and others who saw him off were shocked and rushed Song Jiaoren to the hospital.Song Jiaoren was shot in the back, the bullet penetrated obliquely to the waist, both the kidney and the large intestine were hit, and what was even more frightening was that the bullet was actually poisonous!

Assassination!There is no doubt that this is a well-planned political assassination, the purpose is to put Song Jiaoren to death. Knowing that his life was about to come to an end, Song Jiaoren endured the pain and groaned. He dictated the will to his friends Huang Xing and Yu Youren who accompanied him, saying that there were a few things that needed the help of his comrades. The first thing, Keqiang, you send a telegram to President Yuan Da, which can be regarded as my political will.The telegram said that I can't do it. I was shot by someone, but don't think of me. I hope that President Yuan will continue to follow the path of constitutional democracy such as parliamentary elections, sunny participation in politics, and fair competition.

The second thing is to donate all my books to the Nanjing Library.I don't have much money, my family is poor, and my old mother is still alive, so please friends like Keqiang to help me take care of my mother. The third thing, comrades must continue to fight to save the country, and don't give up responsibility because of me. A dying person, while enduring great pain, didn’t think about who killed him, and didn’t ask his comrades to avenge him. All he thought about was his loyal country, his beloved people, and his beloved. old mother. Although being loyal to the country and being filial to his mother cannot be taken into account at the same time, he still remains committed to his ideal of saving the country through constitutional government. What kind of mind and state is this!

To be honest, perhaps before this, Song Jiaoren gave people the impression that he was just a talented and passionate patriotic young man, a little edgy, not solid enough, with an exposed temperament and lack of city.All in all, he is more like a cadre of the student union, and a more suitable job is to organize everyone to participate in club activities, spread leaflets on the street, etc. He is definitely not considered a suitable candidate for a cabinet prime minister. But at the last moment of his life, he showed the world his tenacity, tolerance and dedication to the country. Such a person, even if he has such and other shortcomings, we should all give him a thumbs up.Because our China has never lacked smart politicians, hard-working doers, but pure patriots!

He fell at the most brilliant time, and he landed at the peak moment. His life was like a shooting star across the night sky. Although it was short, it burst out with dazzling brilliance. Life has an end, and the years have no end. On the afternoon of March 22, 32-year-old Song Jiaoren died of serious injuries. When he died, his eyes were closed, his fists were tightly clenched, and there were still tears in his eyes, which shows how much he loved this beautiful world. Nostalgia and reluctance. Song Jiaoren's death shook the world! Although the progress of human history always needs the blood and lives of martyrs to promote it, and it is not uncommon for political figures to be assassinated, but in the modern history of China, no one's death can have such a huge impact as Song Jiaoren.

His death directly led to the "Second Revolution" and blocked the peaceful development of the new democratic republic.Next, the country split into two governments, the North and the South. Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing parted ways, warlords fought, countless "revolutions" of various names sprang up, and the country was in chaos for decades.It was not until 1928, when Chiang Kai-shek succeeded in the Northern Expedition and Zhang Xueliang changed his flag in the northeast, that the country was barely unified. His death made the ancient China, which could have been reborn, lose a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform into a democracy and a country ruled by law.

Therefore, for the "Assassination of the Song Dynasty Case", a historical event that changed the direction of Chinese history and the fate of countless people (it is also a major event known as the "First Case of the Republic of China" in history), it is necessary for us to spend a considerable amount of ink to figure out its ins and outs and the truth behind it. What is comforting is that the detection of the assassination of Song Jiaoren was very efficient and the case was solved quickly. Under the coordination and generous rewards of President Yuan Da and Jiangsu Governor Cheng Dequan, this time, the police station in the Shanghai Concession, which had never cracked a political assassination case, easily cracked the first shocking case of the Republic of China in just three days.

Briefly explain why such an important case should be investigated by the police in the concession. Because the suspect, Ying Guixin, lives in the Concession (No. 20 Xujiahui Road, Shanghai).In China, the concession is the product of unequal treaties. Foreigners have administrative autonomy and extraterritorial rights in the concession, and the Chinese are not allowed to interfere. Therefore, cases can only be adjudicated by the police in the concession. The topic returns to solving the case. According to the evidence presented by the patrol house and the research of Zhang Yaojie, a scholar who studied the Song Jiaoren case: Someone reported this case, and the person who reported the case was the Kuomintang members headed by Lu Huisheng, Zhang Xiuquan, and Deng Wenbin.They reported to the patrol room: Ying Guixin is the mastermind, Samurai Ying is the killer, and the antique dealer Wang Afa can testify.In order to prove that what they said was true, these people even "invited" Wang Ahfa over.

Wang Afa said that he was an antique calligraphy and painting dealer, and then slowly described the process of what happened. A week ago, when he went to sell calligraphy and paintings at the home of his old customer Ying Guixin, Ying Guixin offered to give 1,000 silver dollars to him to kill someone.He doesn't know how to do illegal things, so he didn't agree.Ying Guixin changed her words and said, how about you find a killer for me, and then showed him a photo and said that he would kill the person in the photo.Wang Afa thought about it for a while, but he was very principled and rejected the illegal business.

After the "Assassination of Song Dynasty" happened, he found that the photo of Song Jiaoren published in various newspapers was the same person in the photo that Ying Guixin showed him before, so he rushed to report the case. The people in the patrol room also felt that he was more credible after hearing what he said.Now that you have witnesses, let's act! Therefore, under the leadership of the Kuomintang, the arresting team first captured Mr. Ying Guixin at the house of a prostitute who often went to the grassroots mobile office, and then seized a gun in Ying Guixin's home - which was later confirmed to be the assassination of Teacher Song. Ren's murder weapon, and a batch of secret documents—mainly the secret telegrams between Ying Guixin, Hong Shuzu, and Zhao Bingjun.

At the same time, under Lu Huisheng's identification, the arresting team arrested a panting bad boy outside Ying Guixin's house. This bad boy was Samurai Ying.Wu Shiying explained why he threw himself into the trap in this way-a mysterious person told him to report to Ying Guixin's family. After Wu Shiying was arrested, he didn't say anything like "Sir, I was wronged", and confessed on the spot, admitting that Song Jiaoren was ordered by Ying Guixin to commit suicide.However, he retracted his confession in court a week later, saying that the case had nothing to do with Ying Guixin, and that he committed the assassination for the purpose of eliminating harm for the central government, leading suspicion to Yuan Shikai's government. Next, Samurai Ying died suddenly and inexplicably in prison.His arrest is a mystery, his confession is a mystery, and his death is even more a mystery. Later, Ying Guixin escaped from prison and was finally hacked to death by Yuan Shikai's men. One month after Ying Guixin's death, the suspect Zhao Bingjun also died. Although all the clues were interrupted, this did not affect the closing of the case at the police station in the Shanghai Concession.To make it easier for everyone to understand, here is a brief summary of the closing statement of the Concession Patrol House: Is it credible?To kill such an important person as Song Jiaoren, there would be such absurd plans and arrangements as child's play, and I despise Yuan Shikai and Zhao Bingjun, the ancestors of the Chinese police, too! Affected by this closing statement, today, a hundred years later, no matter whether it is official history, textbooks, or even novels, they all unanimously conclude that the mastermind behind it is Yuan Shikai. However, if we carefully examine the relevant historical materials, we will find that the direct evidence is obviously insufficient.And the most critical evidence of these official histories, unofficial histories, and novels is that President Yuan is a bad person.It seems that it is only natural for Yuan Shikai to do all kinds of bad things, as long as the shit bowl is put on Yuan Shikai's head, he will be right. To be honest, the political background of this case is very complicated, the case is also very bizarre, and there is a case in the case.Given the lack of judicial independence and the complicated political situation in Shanghai at that time, it was impossible to complete the important task of solving the case. Therefore, today, one hundred years later, let us look back on this first mysterious case in the Republic of China with a responsible attitude.However, if you want to find the truth of history through appearances, please forget the inherent conclusions in your mind, and only believe in motivation, reasonable logic and evidence-the evidence adopted below uses a large number of historical materials and sources, and the sources are not listed one by one. out. First, the witness "Fa Ge" Wang Ah was invited to court. The key witness in this case, "Brother Fa", Mr. Wang Afa is a criminal with unknown origin, because he could not provide valid identification.Although he claimed to be an antique dealer, according to investigations, this antique merchant was still selling insurance in Wuhan a few months ago.The range of career change is really great, a god-man. Leaving aside his identity, where he came from, and where he came from, just looking at his reaction in court, you can know that this is a "babysitter". There are two aspects of Wang Afa's performance that are difficult to justify. First, his relationship with Ying Guixin.When Wang Afa reported the case at the police station, he said that Ying Guixin was his regular customer, but when he confronted Ying Guixin in court, he said that he had only met Ying Guixin twice, and later said that he had only met Ying Guixin once. Second, the testimony is full of loopholes.When Wang Afa reported the case at the police station, he said that he went to Ying Guixin's home to sell calligraphy and paintings.Then the judge asked him what kind of calligraphy and painting he was selling, and he replied: it was Qiu Yingshi's series of landscapes, figures, and pine and bamboo.Now his feet are exposed—Chou Yingshi only paints figures, not landscapes, let alone pine and bamboo. The judge didn't give up, so he continued to ask: "Where did you buy your paintings?" Wang Afa replied: "I got it from Jue Lusheng of Dongqing Railway." Ying Guixin corrected loudly from the side: "There is only Tuo Lusheng on the Dongqing Railway, and he is lying!" In the following questions and answers, Wang Afa was even more inconsistent, and even confused how many times he had met Ying Guixin and when he had met her. From this point of view, it seems that the KMT is the screenwriter of this crime-solving drama, and has told the key supporting actor Wang Afa's lines and the next plot in advance. Unfortunately, the big-name actor Wang Afa performed too poorly on the spot and failed to act according to the script. If you think about it again: In just a few days, the witnesses ("Fage" who made the false testimony), the physical evidence (the secret telegram between Ying Guixin, Hong Shuzu, and Zhao Bingjun), and the criminals (Ying Guixin and Wu Shiying) were in the prison. With the help of the Kuomintang people, they have recovered one after another, so it can be confirmed that: the Kuomintang has grasped the conclusive evidence that Ying Guixin and Wu Shiying participated in the murder of Song Jiaoren in advance, and then "created" various clues, leading the process of solving the case.As for why the Kuomintang is so clear about the whole story of the assassination of Song, I will explain it in detail later. In other words, the clues may be false, but the criminal is absolutely true. In other words, although Wang Afa was fake, the other five suspects—Ying Guixin, Wu Shiying, Hong Shuzu, Zhao Bingjun, and Yuan Shikai—couldn't be fake.Since we are already familiar with Zhao Bingjun and Yuan Shikai, we won't introduce them any more. The other three will be invited to appear below. Ying Guixin, formerly known as Ying Kuicheng.This person is a rich second generation, but the hobby of this rich second generation is to be young and Dangerous. In his youth, he became the leader of the Shanghai Youth Gang by virtue of his courage and ruthlessness. Later, he met Chen Qimei who broke into the Youth Gang to tap the revolutionary power, and joined the Tongmenghui under the introduction of Comrade Qimei.Like all parties, Ying Guixin also led her brothers to support the revolution during the 1911 Revolution, fought against the Qing army, and even helped Chen Qimei snatch the post of Shanghai governor from Li Xiehe. After the incident, Chen Qimei reciprocated, and Ying Guixin became the intelligence director of the Shanghai Dudufu. After Sun Yat-sen returned from overseas, Chen Qimei recommended Ying Guixin to be the captain of Sun Yat-sen's guard. The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.By Sun Yat-sen's side, Ying Guixin still kept mistresses and prostitutes, and gambling, drug abuse, corruption, bribery, and fights also occurred from time to time.Sun Yat-sen had no choice but to ask him to leave. When Ying Guixin was unemployed, it was the most fashionable time to form a party.Ying Guixin also found an opportunity from it, the best chance for the brothers to obtain legal status. Ying Guixin joined forces with three gangs in Shanghai to establish a political party organization called the "Chinese National Communist Party".With his status in the Youth Gang and Chen Qimei's relationship, this kid easily became the party leader (chairman). This "Gongjinhui" is a political party in name, but in essence it is just a means to cleanse the identity from black to white, and it is still a gang. Samurai Ying was originally named Wu Fuming.Once served as a soldier in Yunnan, he is very accurate with marksmanship, agile, and has the professionalism to become a killer.After the Revolution of 1911, the army was laid off, and he was one of the "laid-off" troops.Unemployed Samurai Ying came to Shanghai to make a living. Please note that Wu Shiying and Wang Afa who appeared earlier are both foreigners who have just arrived in Shanghai, have simple social relations, are poor, and are eager to make a fortune.In other words, this kind of person is easier to bully, no one cares about life and death, and is a good candidate to be a substitute for the dead ghost. Not long after he arrived in Shanghai, Wu Shiying met Chen Yusheng who came forward to pay for the murder.Chen Yusheng is the person in charge sent by Ying Guixin to find the killer. Ying Guixin is so powerful, why didn't she choose one of her younger brothers instead of going to a stranger like Wu Shiying? The answer is simple, easy to get away with. Ying Guixin later refused to admit in court that he ordered Wu Shiying to kill, and Wu Shiying could not explain the whereabouts of Chen Yusheng, the contact person in the middle. The sinful aura on his body faded a lot. Hong Shuzu, styled Yinzhi. Hong Shuzu had a son named Hong Shen, who was a great artist in New China.He also has a grandson named Sammo Hung, who was the boss of the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s. Of course, Hong Shuzu himself is not bad, he is also a descendant of a famous family, and his grandfather Hong Liangji was a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty. Hong Shuzu was born in a famous family and should have a bright future, but his father feared that his son would suffer, so he relied on him no matter what, and got whatever he wanted. No one ever scolded him, let alone beat him.Hong Shuzu grew up in such an environment. He was not afraid of the sky and the earth. He could do whatever he wanted, and no one cared about him. This is normal. Even his father didn't care. This is how prodigal sons are made. What's more serious is that Hong Shuzu has an extraordinary IQ and is very smart.But the problem is, the smarter you are, the more you will lose money.Therefore, the common characteristics of prodigal sons such as profit-seeking and boldness have been carried forward by him to the point where he wants everything but his face and loves no one but himself, so that he has mixed up in the world of bad guys such as "yin people" and "Hong Shahou". strange name. Pick any two "bad guy stories" about this man that have been written into the history books, and you'll see his audacity and brazenness. The first one is that during the Sino-French War, Hong Shuzu, as a staff officer of Taiwan governor Liu Mingchuan, privately donated two sea rounds of arms from the Qing army to the French army. The price paid by the French was only two thousand taels of silver to bribe Hong Shuzu. The second thing is that when Zhang Zhidong was working under him, Hong Shuzu used his work to sell Chinese land to foreigners (colluding with foreigners to steal land titles) to earn benefits. Hong Shuzu did countless bad things, and his father wiped his ass countless times, but in the end, his father couldn't do it anymore, because no one dared to sell his face for his bad son. Hong Shuzu lost his job. The unemployed Hong Shuzu decided to harm Shanghai and look for new opportunities to make a fortune.In Shanghai, this kid continued to break pots and wrecks, made a living in illegal business, and became a well-known "Mr. Hong" in Shanghai.It was during this period that he met some members of the Youth Gang. After the Revolution of 1911, Hong Shuzu found a big backer——Zhao Bingjun through various relationships. It is said that his brother-in-law Zhao Fengchang had a good relationship with Zhao Bingjun.But regardless of nepotism or human dignity, in short, he became a national civil servant under Zhao Bingjun's command. In other words, before Zhao Bingjun hired people, didn't he consider a more scientific cadre selection and appointment mechanism such as open selection combined with competition for posts, and didn't he call Hong Shuzu's talent files for political review?This kind of talented but unvirtuous, profit-seeking person is a ticking time bomb, how can he be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility? Zhao Bingjun's level of employing people is really embarrassing, and he will definitely pay a heavy price for it. Please also remember: Hong Shuzu is a top-notch villain, a guy who will endanger society with intentional crimes.Only by understanding this can we be fully mentally prepared for what will happen next. It is said that after Mr. Hong Shuzu defected to Zhao Bingjun, he quickly made some contributions in the North-South negotiations after the Revolution of 1911 by virtue of his bad character and thick black expertise, and he secured his position as secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But how did Hong Shuzu and Ying Guixin, two seemingly unrelated people, get connected? This also starts with the party. Since the only motivation for the party to participate in the revolution was to fight against the Qing Dynasty, after the end of the Qing Dynasty, they lost their motivation to move forward and started their own job: destroying social order. The timid ones in the party, the main social activities are greedy for petty gains.Not buying tickets for watching movies, evading fares by car, not giving money for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling are commonplace. When you are in a good mood, you molested women from good families, and when you were in a bad mood, you found a fight with someone, but that was over.And the bold ones are powerful, and the main social activity is lawlessness.They murdered and extorted goods, set up private courts, and executed punishments on behalf of officials. The destroyer of social order and the rebuilder of social order are natural enemies. The party that "destroys is far better than building", so it quickly transformed from a revolutionist to a revolutionary.The Revolutionary Party and the Constitutionalist Party jointly suppressed the Congregational Party, and the plan of overseas Hongmen to return to China to participate in politics due to their meritorious service came to an end. In Hunan, Jiao Dafeng, who was the leader of the Gelaohui and the Revolutionary Party of the Gongjinhui, was assassinated by the constitutionalists, and Tan Yankai, the leader of the constitutionalists, became the governor. In Sichuan, the Gelaohui was banned by the revolutionary army, and all the more than 200 public accounts were wiped out. In Shaanxi, most of the Gelaohui's army was reorganized by the constitutionalists, and Wan Bingnan, the leader of the Gelaohui, was killed. In Guangdong, the revolutionary army officially banned the Triad Society, the leader Xu Xueqiu and others were killed, and all the disciples were forcibly reorganized.The Triad Society, which made great contributions to the revolution, has since been reduced to a criminal organization in Hong Kong. In Shanghai, the person who dealt with the party, reorganized and rejected the Qinghong Gang was a familiar person—Song Jiaoren. Ying Guixin, as a senior member of the Youth Gang, will naturally stand up against Song Jiaoren, but his resistance is not to copy guys and fight Song Jiaoren desperately, but to set up a joint progress association - to reorganize the Youth Gang by himself, to wash his identity, and to use the law to protect himself And the younger brother under his command. Although Ying Guixin solved his identity problem, he did not let go of his hatred for the Kuomintang, especially Song Jiaoren's "ungrateful" after the success of the revolution.The seed of hatred sprouts here, and when the time is right, it will break through the ground and blossom and bear fruit.And the person who turned it into fruit was none other than Hong Shuzu. Yuan Shikai's government soon issued an order strictly prohibiting secret associations, and vigorously cracked down on them. And Ying Guixin happened to bump into President Yuan Da's knife edge. In the eyes of Yuan Shikai and Zhao Bingjun, Ying Guixin is a good choice to use: As a powerful gang leader, he is very close to the Kuomintang, and dares to form a party (Committee Association), not to punish you! To mention a little bit, Ying Guixin thought she died not fast enough, so she actually intervened in the struggle between Li Yuanhong and Zhang Zhenwu, two heroes of the 1911 Revolution, for power and profit.Naturally, Li Yuanhong was not a good person, he wanted Ying Guixin everywhere, and wanted to use the power of the government to show some color to Ying Guixin, who meddled in other people's affairs. In this context, Zhao Bingjun sent a commissioner to Shanghai to solve Ying Guixin's problem, and this person was Hong Shuzu. Why did you send Hong Shuzu here?It is probably because Zhao Bingjun took a fancy to Hong Shuzu's three "advantages" - vicious and cunning personality, defrauding people without paying for their lives, and having acquaintances in the Youth Gang. Hong Shuzu has a very wide network of contacts, not long after arriving in Shanghai, he contacted Ying Guixin.His way of dealing with Ying Guixin is still the old officialdom.Let's have a meal together first, then take a shower in the sauna and massage the condom.After the emotions blended, he said the intention of "Zhaoan".One of Ying Guixin's ideals in life is to pursue high officials and generous salaries.In addition to Hong Shuzu's coaxing and threats, he was appointed as an official and made a wish, and Ying Guixin accepted the government's "recruitment". Hong Shuzu and Ying Guixin also became brothers because of this friendship.When Hong Shuzu and Ying Guixin, two little people and big villains who seem to be ignored by no one, got in touch, Song Jiaoren's life seemed irretrievable. Next, Brother Hong fell happily under Brother Ying's sugar-coated shells represented by money-gold coins and delicious food-vibrant and fresh Shanghai hairy crabs.Naturally, the gift was not given in vain. Hong Shuzu, who took the benefits, not only helped Ying's younger brother get rid of Li Yuanhong's pressure, but also promised to apply for the post of inspector general dispatched by the Central Committee to Shanghai. The power of power-for-money transactions is indeed omnipresent. Thanks to the efforts of Hong Shuzu, a few months later, Mr. Ying Guixin rushed to Beijing to go through the entry procedures related to being the chief inspector of the central government in Shanghai. The chief inspector's main job is to collect intelligence, especially the movements of Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, the core leaders of the Kuomintang, and Li Yuanhong from Wuhan. It is Ying Guixin's specialty to do such bad things. On January 14, 1913, Zhao Bingjun sent a letter to Ying Guixin and sent a "code book". To explain, the "encrypted electronic book" is not a patent for spies. It was a common practice at that time, whether it was done in political circles or private business.Because there are almost no dedicated lines, telegrams are basically processed by commercial post offices. In order to keep confidential, only code books can be used.And Zhao Bingjun sent Ying Guixin the "code book" is naturally a normal official behavior when going through the entry procedures for newcomers. The above letter was the only time Zhao Bingjun took the initiative to contact Ying Guixin. The content was that Zhao Bingjun asked Ying Guixin to send a telegram to the State Council directly in the future.In addition, Zhao Bingjun never issued instructions to Ying Guixin to carry out criminal activities.Of course, the suspicion that he was commanded by Hong Shuzu cannot be ruled out. After Ying Guixin gained the ability to listen to the sky, Song Jiaoren fell into bad luck.Because Ying Guixin, who had long wanted to take revenge on Song Jiaoren, decided to take the opportunity to exchange some money with Mr. Hong Shuzu, a gold-worshiping man with a strong desire to find money. If you don't believe me, please enjoy the following letters and telegrams. On February 1, 1913, Mr. Hong sent a letter to Mr. Ying, which said in a very cryptic way: Only by doing big projects can you make money. What kind of project can you get? One day later, Ying Guixin, who had a deep understanding of the boss's spirit, hatched a golden idea - the "rotten egg" plan. He planned to get the "scandal" of Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, and Song Jiaoren overseas, and then make it public. Destroy the reputation of the three (Sun, Huang, and Song Yushi have been purchased from Japan. Huang and his daughter have a group photo, and the police department provides criminal bills for copying the Song Dynasty...Compiled and printed 100,000 copies with photos, and plans to distribute them in Yokohama ). What is the benefit of Ying Guixin's proactive sabotage? Ying Guixin said: "Sun Yat-sen has planned to send someone to 'buy the ruins' at a price of 300,000 yuan, and although I do everything possible to obstruct it, but I only have 30,000 yuan in my pocket. If I want to buy these 'scandals', I will need the funds There is still a long way to go (after Sun Dexin, he asked Huang to send his surname Ma to Japan, bought and destroyed it with a lot of money, and asked for 300,000 yuan, and it was planned that Yang Xu Yinni got 30,000 yuan)." Ying Guixin's implication is obvious, how much the government should give me is up to you. Soon, Boss Hong wrote back to Brother Ying and said: "Premier Zhao has read your telegram, and then Premier Zhao asked me to present the telegram to President Yuan Da. The President was very happy after reading it, and praised you for your ability. Operate as soon as possible. Brother, I saw the needle and mentioned the matter of withdrawing money in front of President Yuan. The president meant that you should send Song Jiaoren's dirty materials first, and we will talk about it when we see the goods." If Hong Shuzu did not exaggerate, then this telegram is enough to prove that Yuan Shikai and Zhao Bingjun are still very interested in discrediting Song Jiaoren. The reason is not difficult to think of - democratic elections were being held in various places at that time, and discrediting Song Jiaoren could affect the KMT's votes. However, Hong Shuzu didn't fully trust Ying Guixin, a gangster from the Youth Gang.This is normal, both of them are equally insidious, despicable, and shameless, who can trust the other? On February 8, Boss Hong wrote for the first time to urge Brother Ying: Where do you get those black materials?Is it reliable or not?The central government has doubts about this! Three days later, Boss Hong wrote again to urge Brother Ying: Get the black materials and get the money as soon as possible. Half a month later, Boss Hong added another letter saying: "In the future, except for the official business related to the special inspector general stationed in Shanghai, you should not send telegrams to the State Council. There are too many people, and the confidentiality is not good. The boss has spoken, I will be solely responsible for contacting you in the future." From then on, Hong Shuzu became the person in charge of the liaison between the central government and Ying Guixin. During this period, he played up and down, which was Song Jiaoren's misfortune. In the second half of the letter, he half comforted and half urged Gui Xin to say: "It's not that I won't give you money, once you can produce black materials, the central government will definitely release the money, but the amount will not exceed 300,000 yuan. " Hong Shuzu urged Ying Guixin several times, but when the flowers all withered, he didn't wait for the black material of Ying Guixin, a charlatan. Hong Shuzu's life was very difficult. He boasted in front of the president and the prime minister, but he couldn't do the job. He was under a lot of pressure, and he felt very anxious.So, on March 6, Hong Shuzu wrote a letter of "work guidance" to Ying Guixin.Now I will translate the key meaning of this letter into the vernacular, and I will share it with you: As an aside, the meaning of the phrase "you can strike" is vague, but combined with Deng Jiayan's experience in prison and the reality that it is difficult to deal with it now, it cannot be ruled out that Hong Shuzu asked Ying Guixin to use force to deal with the target when the target has "dramatic actions". How does Ying Guixin feel after receiving this letter? Four days later, on March 10, Ying Guixin sent a telegram to Boss Hong: Please forward it to the Ministry of Finance and ask the government to sell me 3.5 million government bonds at a discount of 66% and an interest of 8%. This telegram seemed to appear too abruptly: Ying Guixin didn't mention the slanderous material, why did she raise the public debt? Public bonds are a kind of bonds issued by the national government, but this kind of bond is quite popular.The reason is that the government is eager to cash out, and bonds are generally sold as quickly as possible at the deepest discounts.When the debt is due to repay the principal, it is calculated on the basis of the face value plus interest. In other words, Ying Guixin wanted to take advantage of Boss Hong's background in the central government to arbitrage public debt and make a fortune. But what does this have to do with their plan to slander Song Jiaoren? Hong Shuzu was also dizzy, because the content of the telegram did not seem to be a reply to the "work guidance" (hereinafter referred to as "opinion") sent by himself.So he wrote to the other party: I don't understand what you mean, please explain to me in detail (the purpose is unknown, please forward the details). Before Ying Guixin could reply, on March 13, Hong Shuzu sent a crucial telegram to Ying Guixin: It has been handed over to the Minister of Finance for approval, and the repayment will be 6%. I am afraid that the discount will be large. The position is appropriate, and it is properly handled. Hong Shuzu told Ying Guixin that I have handed over the matter of the public debt to the Minister of Finance. It is estimated that the interest rate will not reach the 8% you mentioned, but only 6%. Moreover, the discount you asked for is relatively large. I am afraid that the Ministry of Finance will not pass it. audit. According to Mr. Hong Shuzu's performance a few days later, it can be inferred that he did not try his best to deal with the debt, or even did not deal with it at all.Of course, Hong Shuzu's behavior is also understandable: if you don't see a rabbit, you won't scatter an eagle.The black materials promised by Ying Guixin did not arrive, and Hong Shuzu lost a lot of face in front of the leaders. In the end, you Ying Guixin wanted to borrow Hong Shuzu's central background to buy public bonds at a low price to earn interest. How could it be so cheap! Therefore, Hong Shuzu hinted to Ying Guixin in the second half of the telegram: You can take advantage of it if you want, but you must have a more positive and clear expression-"destroy the honorary title of Song Dynasty". "Destroying the honorary title of the Song Dynasty" will be analyzed in depth below, so I won't say much for the time being. On the same day, that is, March 13, Ying Guixin sent a letter to Hong Shuzu. This is the most shameless criminal letter in modern history. The content of the letter can be divided into four parts. The first part has only one sentence: "The letter on the ninth day of March and the telegram on the 13th are all respectful. I will present them in detail later." This is to explain that the purpose of writing this letter is to reply to a letter-received on the ninth day of March The "opinion" written by Hong Shuzu on March 6 and a telegram - the telegram of "destroying the honor of the Song Dynasty" received on March 13. But why reply to "comments" in this letter? The secret should be hidden in the date "the ninth day of March" when Ying Guixin received the "opinion", but "the ninth day of March" is very confusing. It should not refer to the "ninth day of March" in the lunar calendar (April 15, 1913), but "The ninth day of March" is not like the Gregorian calendar.In any case, it may be that Ying Guixin received the "comment" after sending the telegram, or it may be that she received it but did not have time to read it.In short, it is certain that the telegram to buy "bonds" was not a reply to "opinions". In the second part, Ying Guixin explained the public debt in detail. Ying Guixin said that the public bonds with an interest rate of 8% issued by the central government in September last year were only sold at a 35% discount on the market (outside sales, only 650,000 per million). The purpose of the central government to solve financial difficulties is to purchase it at a discount of 66% higher than the market price.The kid also emphasized that he had worked so hard to come up with such a good idea, and that he didn't need to pay for it. This is of course a lie to put money on his face. Ying Guixin has said so much, and the implication is that I offer good conditions. It is unreasonable for you, Hong Shuzu, to blame me for offering too high conditions. As long as you speak well in front of the Minister of Finance, public bonds are not difficult to buy. As an aside, according to the historical materials related to government bonds in the early years of the Republic of China and the correspondence between Hong and Ying, the final decision on the commercial behavior of buying and selling government bonds rests with the Ministry of Finance. The Minister of Finance has the final say, and Yuan Shikai’s consent is not required. . I have talked about so many things related to government bonds, just to explain one point: buying government bonds has nothing to do with the matter of "seeking money from the Song Dynasty".This is a very critical piece of information. The third part of the letter can be regarded as Ying Guixin's official reply to the "opinion". Ying Guixin knew that she couldn't come up with black materials to deal with the errand, so she adopted the procedure taught by Hong Shuzu to deal with the errand. First collect Song Jiaoren's objecting articles - he collected Song Jiaoren's speech reprinted by "Minli Daily" and sent it to Hong Shuzu. Only when the target has a particularly violent and unruly behavior can we attack - he has detected the other party's "dramatic behavior" - not only Song Jiaoren's recent remarks are very dangerous, but also Huang Xing is very restless. Ying Guixin used part of the cash obtained from the resale of government bonds for the activities of contacting the garrisons in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places (full-time for the two ministries of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the needs of the movement of Xu and Anhui). Later, he explained that he helped Huang Xing sell the public debt this time to break into the "enemy" and "make revolution", so that Hong Shuzu could say a few good words for himself in front of the leaders. The fourth part of the letter is obviously Ying Guixin's self-expression after she has deeply understood the telegram of "destroying the honor of the Song Dynasty". He said, I personally don't care about rewards for meritorious deeds, but I can't help but Song Jiaoren is too capable of making troubles. If we don't get rid of him (go to Song Dynasty), it may be detrimental to the general election situation.However, Song Jiaoren’s matter requires a lot of handling fees, and I only paid more than 200,000 yuan in advance when I went bankrupt (only the intermediate procedures, no rice for cooking...the remaining property can be used to transfer more than 200,000 yuan). Ying Guixin's asking price this time: more than 200,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the 300,000 yuan he asked for before.In other words, its final offer was still 300,000 yuan. One day later, Ying Guixin proposed a clear plan to assassinate the Song Dynasty: the leader of the bandits in Liangshan is causing disturbance everywhere, and the danger is very real. An urgent order has been issued to try to arrest him, and he begs to forward it and wait for instructions. The "Song" of "Liangshan bandit leader" Song Jiang means Song Jiaoren, and "try to suppress and arrest" means assassination, and "begging for submission" is to ask Hong Shuzu to ask the leaders (Zhao Bingjun, Yuan Shikai) for opinions. The script of Assassin Song was thus completed. Seeing this, it seems that Hong Shuzu didn't get any benefits. Isn't this in line with his usual style? Hong Shuzu told the world with practical actions: a dog can't change eating shit, and he can't change making money. On March 17, 1913, Hong Shuzu sent a telegram to Ying Guixin: the debt bills are specially approved, and when will the bills be paid in cash.Another call, moisten me a little, reply today. The bonds are very accurate. On the surface, it seems to say that the public debt will definitely be settled, but in fact it is affirmed by Guixin's plan to assassinate the Song Dynasty-the reward of 300,000 yuan is no problem, and the honor is no problem.However, Hong Shuzu was worried that Ying Guixin would run the train with his mouth full again, so he urged him: "Don't just talk but don't do it, act quickly (when will you pay cash and get the ticket)!" Remember to give me a rebate and be sure to answer me today. But in the next two days, Ying Guixin did not give a reply, so Hong Shuzu sent two more telegrams, urging Ying Guixin to fulfill his promise. On March 20, Ying Guixin replied to Hong Shuzu: I have received the telegram, but please report it to the central government first. As for whether Hong Shuzu "reported first", we will talk about it later.Anyway, Ying Guixin didn't care about the trifles, and used the ridiculous reason-to eliminate harm for 40 million compatriots and the outrageous price-30 yuan (promise 1000, pay 30) please杀手武士英出手，也就是本章最开始的那一幕。 ... 至此，案情的大致脉络渐渐清晰起来：应、洪二人想通过搞臭宋教仁来弄些黑钱，原本这个计划已经得到了赵秉钧和袁世凯的同意，但应桂馨是个满嘴跑火车的家伙，根本就拿不出黑材料。于是骑虎难下的应桂馨在同样交不了差的洪述祖的暗示下，杀了宋教仁，试图以此交差并取得酬劳。 但问题是，洪述祖有没有受到袁世凯或者赵秉钧的指使呢？ 这涉及两句电文，也就是大部分人用之给袁世凯定罪的两句话——洪述祖分别于13日和17日所发电文中的“毁宋酬勋位”以及“债票特别准”。 “毁宋酬勋位”应该作何解释？不同的解释，似乎可以引发不一样的结果。 国民党人的解释是：毁宋酬勋者，杀宋教仁则酬以勋位也。而“酬勋位”这么大的事不是洪述祖这样一个小秘书可以决定的，必须得到总统的同意。因此可以证明，洪述祖之所以能发出“毁宋酬勋位”的电文，想必是得到了袁世凯的授意。 对于国民党的说法，袁世凯和赵秉钧自然是矢口否认，而且他们也给出了说得过去的解释：“授勋”是一件透明度很高的事情，不可能暗箱操作，如果我们以应桂馨“毁宋”有功的名义授予对方勋位，岂非不打自招？难道我们的智商有这么低吗？ 其实，国民党和袁世凯双方的论据都不成立。 政治界有一个著名的原理：欲加之罪，何患无辞？欲赏之功，也同样何患无辞！ 就“毁宋酬勋位”一事来说，“应桂馨于辛亥革命有功”就是一个很好的“辞”，一个很好的借口。 因此，国民党认定洪述祖没法“酬勋位”的假设是不成立的。洪述祖完全有底气假传圣旨，因为他可以用这个借口为应桂馨申请勋位。更重要的是，洪述祖确实有用这个理由为应桂馨申请勋位的计划，这可不是瞎编。 1912年10月，洪述祖给应桂馨写了一封信。洪述祖在这封信中让应桂馨补寄申请勋位所缺的“革命资料”（望补寄，因要叙勋，非如此不可也）。至于为何拖了几个月也没有办下来，可能是因为洪述祖不满意应桂馨弄黑材料的表现吧。 同理，袁世凯也不能用“酬勋位不可暗箱操作”的理由来洗脱干系，因为他可以用这个借口光明正大地为应桂馨授勋，不用任何暗箱操作。 也就是说，“毁宋酬勋位”既无法证明袁世凯下令“毁宋”，也无法证明袁世凯没有下令“毁宋”。 至于洪述祖给出的承诺：债票特别准，也有人提出质疑：若没有袁世凯和赵秉钧的同意，即使杀了宋教仁，洪述祖有能力批准以六六二折出售八厘公债吗，他又以什么样的名目搞到三十万的酬劳？ 对于公债的事情，前面已经讲了很多，也有了结论：公债与“刺宋案”没有直接的因果关系，更不需要袁世凯批准。 至于如何拿到三十万的酬劳，这个简单。鉴于之前袁世凯已经承诺只要见货就交钱，因此在拿违法当盐吃的洪述祖看来，只要应桂馨不暴露，杀了宋教仁也是可以找个好借口把这笔已经准备好的钱拿到手的。 既然“毁宋酬勋位”和“债票特别准”都无法证明袁世凯直接涉案，难道袁世凯就此洗脱嫌疑了吗？ 为了搞清楚这个问题，必须深入研究一下重大嫌疑人洪述祖先生的口供。 应桂馨于案发后第三天被捕，洪述祖则在案发后逃到了青岛德国租界。 1913年5月3日，他在青岛通电，承认是自己“冒用中央名义”，是自己假传圣旨，袁世凯和赵秉钧没有命令他“毁宋”。而他提出的“毁宋”是指诽谤，是利用黑材料毁掉宋教仁的名声，至于后面的“去宋”和“剿捕”都是应桂馨自作主张，跟自己一点关系都没有（仅欲毁其名，何得认为谋杀之证据）。 这之后，他就一直藏匿在租界，活得很滋润。可天网恢恢，疏而不漏。 1917年春，自以为已被大家遗忘的极品坏人洪述祖先生，从青岛来到了上海这个他当年战斗过的地方，并找到了新的就业机会——替日本人推销鸦片。 放眼整个中国近代史，几乎没有人能把极品爱财奴本色发挥到洪述祖先生如此出色的地步。 洪述祖自以为大家都已经忘记了他这个刺宋案的主谋之一，自以为可以在上海平安地混下去，但他没有想到，上海对于他来说就是一张虎口。因为有两个人一直时刻关注着他的行踪——宋振吕（宋教仁的儿子）和刘白（宋教仁的秘书）。 洪述祖很快就被二人抓住了，先是被暴打了一顿，后又被扭送到了他最应该去的地方——法院，去接受中华民国的最终审判和刑罚。 鉴于这样一个客观现实——袁世凯、赵秉钧此时已死且声名也被世人踩成了渣，洪述祖先生在法庭上提出了一个新说法：“毁宋酬勋位”的电报是袁世凯通过赵秉钧转交给自己的，自己完全没做任何加工，至于“毁宋”被理解成什么意思，完全取决于应桂馨同志的个人理解能力。 总而言之，他只是奉令行事，“毁宋”跟他洪述祖没有关系。 但法官不为所动，因为洪述祖的这种说法在逻辑上存在三个漏洞。 漏洞一：应桂馨明确提出“刺宋方案”的那封回信是对“意见”与“毁宋”电文的综合答复，而“意见”很明显是洪述祖先生的私人作品。也就是说，即便洪述祖把“毁宋”电文推到袁世凯的头上令其负有领导责任，也不能说自己就是“奉令行事”，因为“意见”有明显的教唆意图。 漏洞二：假设“毁宋”电文出自袁世凯之手，那么对于应桂馨之后数次要求洪述祖“呈上”等待进一步指示的电文，洪述祖就应该呈送给袁世凯看，让袁世凯作出进一步批示。而一旦呈报给袁世凯，那么洪述祖就是受袁世凯的指示杀人，他便可以借此脱罪。 当时袁世凯、赵秉钧都已经故去，没有人会威胁他说出所谓真相，再加上他的人品，他完全可以在法庭上如此给自己辩护。可是洪述祖并没有这么做，并没有指证袁世凯或赵秉钧对应桂馨的刺杀方案做了批示。 换句话说，洪述祖是真的没有“呈上”，而袁世凯也没有直接参与“刺宋”。 漏洞三：洪述祖没有办法解释自己在应桂馨提出“刺宋”之后仍催促对方赶紧兑现承诺的行为。 洪述祖不但没有“呈上”，还催促对方赶紧“去宋”。那只有一种解释：洪述祖自作主张同意了应桂馨的刺杀方案，他就是主谋。 1919年3月底，洪述祖被判死罪，处绞刑。这是中华民国的第一起绞刑。 4月15日，洪述祖被绞死。 死状极惨，行刑过程中头颈分离。 这对那些曾经被他伤害过的人来说，也算是一种交代吧。 虽然根据之前的分析和目前已经解密的档案，没有任何一件证据可以证明袁世凯曾下令“刺宋”，虽然洪述祖先生从不按照常理出牌，也没有人品，但要说他是单纯地为了钱而去谋杀政要，还是略微有些疯狂。 好在有一种假设似乎可以用来解释这种不合理，该假设是这样的： 洪述祖通过袁世凯不但愿意掏钱还常常催问黑材料下落的言行，感受到了领导对自己弄“黑材料”搞臭宋教仁进而破坏国民党大选一事的强烈支持，于是一股强烈的喜悦感油然而生：我要借此机会立下大功！甚至可能在他与袁世凯有限的几次接触中，袁世凯还曾表达过一些对宋教仁不满或颇为忌惮的言语，令他感受到了领导的怂恿，从而坚定了迎合上意的信心。 因此，洪述祖决定拍马屁和捞钱并举，因而一步步将行动升级，直至提升为刺杀。 有人不认同这种“袁世凯知情怂恿，洪述祖主谋”的假设，说宋教仁坚持责任内阁的构想已经威胁到了袁世凯，袁世凯有足够的杀人动机。 实际上，宋教仁坚持责任内阁的构想，不仅威胁到了袁世凯也威胁到了孙中山。若按照这种说法，岂不是国民党也有杀人动机？ 根据中华民国成立以来的经验，要想顺利施行责任内阁制，就得依赖于一点——没有一个强力总统。要不然一个强力总统，一个强力内阁，估计成天就是吵架，根本干不了正事。 因此，宋教仁早就计划推出一个适合他的大总统，但这个总统人选既不是本党头号领袖孙中山，也不是现任总统袁世凯，而是综合实力较弱的黎元洪（吴湘相《宋教仁——中国民主宪政的先驱》）。 这能令国民党内部的激进派服气吗？不可能服气，证据如下： 1912年12月29日，宋教仁写给自己的秘书兼湖南同乡刘白的信中，直言“闻本党有内讧，前日兄来电警告弟以危像，弟总料未必有如是之甚，纵小有波澜，当不至于成大风潮”（宋教仁《与刘羹臣书》）。 透过这封信以及写这封信的日期——1912年12月29日，很容易得出这样的结论：宋教仁同党内的激进派近期矛盾很深。 因此，“袁世凯有杀人动机”并不能证明宋教仁肯定就是袁世凯杀的，可惜很多人都据此认定这就是袁世凯干的。不过话又说回来，袁世凯被扣上幕后主使的帽子，也怪不着别人。毕竟玩火（使用阴招搞臭宋教仁）就要有烧了自己的准备，甚至是被烧死。 洪述祖与应桂馨这两个胆大妄为的神经病联手干下这桩大案，大概就是事实的真相，不过还有四个疑问没有解决。 答案不复杂，因为得到了准确的情报。 沪军都督陈其美作为辛亥革命后上海军政府的第一任最高领导，当然会将心腹安插到各个关键的岗位。当时的上海电报局局长吴佩璜就是陈其美的人，而且吴佩璜先生还是陈其美的情报官。 在这里插一句，虽然沪军都督一职在1912年7月底被袁世凯裁撤，其职能划归江苏都督。但这对羽翼已丰的陈其美来说，丝毫不影响其对上海的实际掌控力——他的部队仍驻扎上海，上海军政机关的要害部门仍由他的亲信控制。 话题回到吴佩璜身上。 那时，应桂馨和洪述祖的电文都是通过上海电报局收发，所以吴佩璜有能力掌握应桂馨和洪述祖之间的秘密。知道了洪述祖与应桂馨之间的秘密勾结，就很容易顺藤摸瓜找到武士英。这种智商，陈其美肯定有。 武士英关在租界看守所时，巡捕房的华人侦探黄金荣直接参与此案侦破。黄金荣先生的威名不仅在当时的上海滩无人不知无人不晓，时至一百年后的今日，那也是大大有名——青帮头子，流氓大亨。而且，黄金荣跟同为一个系统的帮会大佬陈其美私交也不错。 武士英后来翻供，明显是有人在他入监后教唆串供，黄金荣在其中起到的作用令人深思。 4月17日，案犯应桂馨和武士英被引渡到中方，关入上海检察厅的模范监狱。 由于国民党坚决主张成立特别法庭公审“刺宋案”，应桂馨和武士英并没有在这个模范监狱待上几天，就被转押至沪军六十一团的军营中。 沪军六十一团是陈其美的嫡系部队，在这里，他想做什么就能做什么。 两天之后，也就是开庭前一天，武士英死在狱中。 武士英翻供显然是受人唆使，现在又被灭口，显然杀死武士英的人就是那个唆使的人。 前有翻供，后有灭口，陈其美没有办法洗脱嫌疑。 应桂馨的死，可以简单地用两个字概括：作死。 no Zuo no Die. 应桂馨被抓后没多久，就在陈其美的有意放水之下，在“二次革命”中逃走，上演了一出民国版的《越狱》。 可陈其美为何要放过应桂馨这位货真价实的“刺宋”凶手？是出于哥们儿义气，还是想通过应桂馨这根搅屎棍给袁世凯添些堵？ 根据后面发生的事实来看，后者的可能性更大。 逃得一命的应桂馨来到了北京，他要找袁世凯兑现洪述祖在电报中承诺的“毁宋酬勋位”。 应桂馨先生的智商显然跟他的心黑程度成反比，他的脑袋有些二百五。 此时洪述祖还没有蹲大牢，刚刚发表声明说“毁宋”是他假传圣旨，不关袁世凯的事。而在这种情况下，你应桂馨居然要找袁世凯索要勋位？难道你想让袁世凯往自己脑袋上扣屎盆子吗？ 这就是应桂馨不能和洪述祖分享极品坏人“荣誉”的原因：虽然够坏，但是水准不够。 袁世凯对付这种流氓，向来就是一招：用流氓的办法对付流氓。 1914年1月，军政执法处人员郝占一和王双喜将应桂馨乱刀砍死。 后人都说袁世凯干掉应桂馨的动机是杀人灭口，其实这在情理上讲不通。 此时，袁世凯已是杀害宋教仁的重大嫌疑犯，如果他是出于杀人灭口的目的派人杀掉应桂馨，难道他不怕落人口实吗？ 仔细想来，心虚也别把屎盆子往自己身上扣的道理，袁世凯应该还是明白的。 再者，袁世凯与应桂馨之间几乎没有交集，实无灭口的必要。如果非要灭口，似乎选择在袁世凯与应桂馨之间上下其手的洪述祖先生效果更佳吧？ 赵秉钧的死因，也成了大家认定袁世凯杀宋教仁的证据。 其实，历来被灭口的都是小人物，而大人物通常是订立攻守同盟的。但无论是正史还是野史，都说赵秉钧是被毒杀，七窍流血而亡。 这绝对是以讹传讹，因为没有任何确凿证据可以证明赵秉钧是被毒死的。 事实上，赵秉钧身体一向不好，死前一直抱病工作，之前并无什么异常之事。赵秉钧在去世当日（1914年2月26日）凌晨五点的时候，突然倒下，他的家人急忙派人将天津最有名的军医官屈永秋、徐德顺和名医王延年请来，但这三大名医也毫无办法，最后赵秉钧在当天上午死亡。 其家属、医生都没有提出他是中毒而死的说法。 1998年，赵秉钧的孙子赵纯佑，亲述赵秉钧死于脑溢血，无任何中毒症状。赵秉钧之死因由此一锤定音。 解决了这四个问题，又产生了一个新的问题：既然陈其美早就知道洪述祖与应桂馨的秘密，为什么不揭露他们的阴谋？ 答案很简单：私欲。而私欲的根源就在于他对权力的贪婪。 论资历，陈其美比不上汪精卫和胡汉民，但陈先生有三个汪、胡二人没有的优势——他有青帮帮衬；他是同盟会光复上海的英雄；他手下有军队。 凭借这种综合实力，陈其美在党内拥有了很高的地位，是党内著名的激进分子。 当时，国民党中的领袖排位是孙中山、黄兴、宋教仁、陈其美。前两个人已经淡出政坛，而陈其美作为国民党中的少壮实力派，居然被排在手中不掌武力的宋教仁之后，这是果敢坚毅、自信自负，素来信仰武力第一的陈其美很难接受的。 现在有这么一个刺宋的机会让他升位，不甘居于人下的陈其美岂会放过，因此他十分幸福地充当了渔翁的角色。 鹬蚌相争，渔翁得利。 陈其美“顺其自然”地让宋教仁去死，让与他陈其美所代表的激进派政见不同的宋教仁去死，顺道借刺宋把袁世凯搞臭，一箭双雕。 这就能解释为什么陈其美要让武士英改口供陷害北京政府，而后又杀人灭口。 至于后来发生的“二次革命”让陈其美的算计落空，劳而无功，那也是没办法的事：虽然想法不错，但实力不行。 好了，除去上面的诸多推理和猜测，之所以肯定陈其美能做出这种缺德事，是因为他是一个有案底的人。 1912年1月14日凌晨，凄风冷雨，上海法租界广慈医院，205房间门口站着两个人，帽檐压得很低。 敲门、门开、枪响、凶手逃走。 光复会领袖、“章疯子”的忠实战友、浙江军政府总参议陶成章倒在血泊之中。 背后主谋是陈其美，刺客就是陈其美的结拜兄弟，后来大名鼎鼎的蒋委员长：蒋介石。从此刻起，此人将占用越来越多的笔墨。 蒋介石刺杀陶成章的证据来自他的日记。蒋介石的日记在其生前并没有公布，一直折腾到2006年才公开，其日记涉及很多个人隐私和重大历史事件。 他什么人都骂，朋友、亲戚、同僚、敌人几乎都没放过。 他的重要“卖国”证据——对日军“决
