Chapter 144 Section 1 Virtual Dialogue and Real History

Zhang Xun left the Jiang Fang Army in Nanjing, and only brought a few personal followers. He disguised himself as a businessman and quietly escorted Xu Shichang back to Beijing.When he arrived in Beijing, Xu Shichang locked him up, threw him a few yellowed old books, and never allowed him to step out of the room. Zhang Xun was secretly abducted by the military minister Xu Shichang. The Ninghan general Tieliang who was guarding Nanjing didn't know about it, nor did the Jiangfang Army, and it was even more impossible for the revolutionaries who attacked the city to know about it. In and out of the city, probably only the little boy Wang Keqin felt that something was wrong, woke up in the middle of the night and touched his side, but there was nothing: Hey, where did Lao Zhang, the bastard, go?

Therefore, the siege of Nanjing is still in full swing. It just so happened that at this time the party members came to reinforce them again. It was the second team of the Shanghai Death Squad, that is, the death squad led by Yin Ruizhi and Yin Weijun, the heroine of the Restoration Society.After this death squad took down Hangzhou, all the Zhejiang troops went to Nanjing. The death squad returned to Shanghai, and together with Chen Qimei hunted down the Qing officials, and killed a lot of people. Seeing that the killing was almost done, they ran to Nanjing again. Sisters Yin Ruizhi and Yin Weijun came, but Jiang Zhiqing, a student studying in Japan, did not come.

Guess what Jiang Zhiqing did? He stayed in Shanghai. What are you doing in Shanghai? As I have said, the Chinese political stage at that time could only accommodate three people at most: Li Yuanhong from Wuchang, Yuan Shikai from Beiyang, and a great revolutionary leader.At present, Tao Chengzhang has undisputedly occupied the role of the great revolutionary leader with the blood of the Restoration Society.However, there is also a Tongmenghui, and there is also a Sun Yat-sen. In order for Sun Yat-sen to enter the political stage, Tao Chengzhang must first be pushed off the stage. Jiang Zhiqing, he will undertake this important historical mission.

When the Yin sisters rushed to the Nanjing battlefield with enthusiasm, Chen Qimei, the governor of Shanghai, called the third younger brother Jiang Zhiqing and gave him a pistol.There was bound to be a conversation between the two when the pistol was handed over.However, this dialogue has been lost in the dust of history, and no one can dig out a single word. History is lost here. All that remains is the black hole. If it is a novelist, one can imagine the dialogue between Chen and Jiang.Perhaps Chen Qimei would say something like this: Third child, the organization entrusts you with a glorious and sacred mission, go to Guangci Hospital and kill Tao Chengzhang!

Then Jiang Zhiqing would be horrified: Mother is skinny, am I mistaken, Tao Chengzhang is the great leader of the revolution. Chen Qimei might say: It is precisely because Tao Chengzhang is the leader of the revolution that he was killed.People who are not members of the Revolutionary Party are unlikely to share the fruits of victory with the Tongmenghui, except for Tao Chengzhang, the Guangfuhui.I don’t mention the third one, you should know that the achievements of the Chinese revolution today can be said to be entirely due to the bloodshed and sacrifice of the Liberation Society.Wu Yue who bombed the five ministers, Xu Xilin who killed Enming, and Jianhu heroine Qiu Jin were all Tao Chengzhang's subordinates.Therefore, if Tao Chengzhang is there, there must be two branches of the revolution, which means that the prestige of Sun Yat-sen we follow will be severely weakened.Since then, China's revolution has relied on Sun Yat-sen's high prestige that cannot be questioned in the slightest, so...

This conceived dialogue is certainly well-balanced here, and it seems to be able to explain something clearly.But the problem is, such a conversation may not have happened at all. What really happened was that young Jiang Zhiqing entered the hospital in the dark with a gun, put his gun on Tao Chengzhang's head, and shot at the man who had led Wu Yue, Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin. … On the night of November 25th, 1911, Tao Chengzhang (named Huanqing), one of the great leaders of the revolution, was stabbed to death in Shanghai Guangci Hospital.Who is the assassin?How to assassinate?Many people say that Chen Qimei ordered Chiang Kai-shek to stab him to death.All kinds of records, most of them are pushed to others, and they are taken off from themselves.In any case, it is always a great misfortune for the revolution as a whole.I keep my diary seriously.According to my diary: On June 3, 1927, Cao Muguan, the principal of Shanghai Chengzhong Middle School, a native of Zhejiang, had a chat with me.Cao said: I was lying in Guangci Hospital with Min Yuan's illness. One evening, Chiang Kai-shek came to talk. Before leaving, he said: We will do a big thing tonight.In the middle of the night, when gunshots were heard, Tao Huanqing was shot in the other room and died.Someone who knew the secret told me: Chen Qimei ordered Chiang Kai-shek to assassinate Tao Huanqing, and Chiang hired Wang Zhuqing, a traitor from the Restoration Society, to execute it.Huanqing thought that Zhuqing was his own, and invited him into the house, and was stabbed to death.The Restoration Society finally assassinated Wang Zhuqing again.Tao Huanqing's alias Ji Shi is on the membership list of the Tongmenghui in my collection. (Huang Yanpei: "The Facts of the 1911 Revolution I Experienced Personally")

This is the first shot of Jiang Zhiqing's revolution. It is a revolution of the young against the old. It is also the revolution of the young revolutionaries against the revolutionaries of the older generation. Although Jiang Zhiqing hadn't changed his name to Chiang Kai-shek at this time, his era had already begun.
