Chapter 128 Chapter 6 The Death of Jiang Lingwu

After Hunan's independence, it canceled its independence, which made Jiang Lingwu, the revolutionary hero, miserable. According to the investigation, Jiang Lingwu was organizing an army in Yuezhou at that time, and wanted to go north to challenge Yuan.Unexpectedly, Yuan Shikai suddenly issued a warrant for the arrest of veteran cadre Jiang Lingwu.At the same time, Vice President Li Yuanhong and Premier Xiong Xiling also issued arrest warrants for Jiang Lingwu.These arrest warrants, like chasing soul charms, put Jiang Lingwu's life in extreme danger. Although there are many party members involved in the uprising, most of them have a close relationship with the local government. As long as the central government does not issue arrest warrants, the situation will not be in any danger.But once the wanted order is issued, many bounty hunters will emerge, so the people who are wanted by Yuan Shikai have no choice but to escape.

Cheng Qian persuaded Jiang Lingwu to go to Shanghai, and then take a boat to Japan. Huang Youchang, chairman of the Hunan Provincial Council, was an enthusiastic person. After running around, he contacted a Japanese warship and gave the captain 3,000 yuan as the ship's fare.But people around Jiang Lingwu opposed this suggestion, because to go to Shanghai by boat, you have to pass through Hubei, but Jiang Lingwu is famous, and Wuchang Sanwu is the same. Who in Hubei doesn't recognize him? If you go to Hubei, you will be caught by bounty hunters. The safest thing is to go far away to Guangxi.Firstly, no one in Guangxi recognized him, and secondly, he might find an opportunity to lobby the Guangxi army to revolt.So Hu Hanmin erected a stele for Jiang Lingwu, saying: Gui Chou begged Yuan, and something will happen to Gui.It means that Jiang Lingwu is committed to revolution and is going to Guangxi to move the army.

Hu Hanmin even erected Jiang Lingwu's tombstone, so we knew that Jiang Lingwu was in trouble. Jiang Lingwu traveled to Tangjiachong, Xing'an County, which belongs to Quanzhou, and was arrested by Qin Buqu, the commander of the garrison. On September 1, he was escorted by Quanzhou to Guilin. Chen Bingkun, the commander of Guijun, immediately reported to Lu Rongting, the governor of Guangxi, to send a telegram to Wuchang and Beijing for instructions on how to deal with it. Li Yuanhong was overjoyed and called Yuan to say: Cha said that the prisoner claimed to be the emissary of Hubei and Henan, and he secretly closed the defense, and issued an announcement widely. His deeds are obvious. There are many party members in Hunan and Hubei.

Fatty Li really disregarded friendship and was going to kill him. But it's no wonder that Jiang Lingwu rebelled again and again, unswervingly wanting to get rid of the big fat boy, so it was reasonable for Li Yuanhong to get angry. Yuan Shikai sent a telegram to Lu Rongting: shoot on the spot. On September 9, 1913, Jiang Lingwu was shot to death outside the gate of Lize, Guilin. The executor was General Chen Bingkun of the Ministry of Land. Four days after Jiang Lingwu's death, the party members of the Liuzhou frontier defense battalion rebelled, opened the prison, released criminals, broke down the government office, and plundered money.Lu Rongting, the governor of Guangxi, came here with his troops, and the day was peaceful.

So the "Times" on September 17 released the news: Lieutenant General Jiang Yiwu, who had repeatedly plotted troubles in Hubei and Hunan, planned to flee to the East from Han and Shanghai after Hunan's independence was abolished. Because of the strict arrests along the way, he fled to Guangxi by land and then fled to Hong Kong. Go abroad.Traveling to Quanzhou, which belongs to Guangxi, he actually mobilized Gui officers to respond to save the siege of Nanjing. He was captured by the Gui army and sent to Nanning (should be Guilin). He was shot immediately. The death of Jiang Lingwu marked the disillusionment of ideals in the early years of the Republic of China.The earth-shattering Wuchang Sanwu in history, Zhang Zhenwu was killed in Beijing, and the scandal of wives and concubines was exposed after his death.Jiang Lingwu once refused to help his old friend from the literary society, and sat back and watched his friend be killed, but finally because of the second revolution, his bones were buried in a foreign land.

The death of Jiang Lingwu tells us that extreme political ideas are the cause of disasters in human society.A person who disregards other people's way of life and imposes his will on others will inevitably lead to the breakdown of social cooperation and also cause irresolvable resentment between people.And the revolution aimed at destroying life itself is the extreme extreme of human social relations.All revolutionaries firmly believe that they are absolutely correct, and all those who do not agree with themselves are aliens and will be killed.This kind of irresistible killing thought, after turning the good world into a hell of mutual hatred, still shows the lack of humanity in the surviving people.

Once the cause of the crime is attributed to others instead of oneself, the only choice is violence and lies to maintain a revolutionary myth. When the myth is destroyed, it is the time when human nature falls into a daze and seeks the lost way to return to the spiritual home.
