Sun Yat-sen said fortune telling

During the war years, the world was difficult and the people suffered. Even if you are respected before your death, you will inevitably be attacked by gunfire after your death, let alone ordinary people.

For example, after the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of China revolution, his body was temporarily parked in Biyun Temple in Xiangshan, Beijing, and was not moved to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum for burial until the completion of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing. No matter in Beijing or Nanjing, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's health has been in crisis and even dangerous damage by gunfire. Fortunately, because of his high prestige, his body was preserved.

Dr. Sun Yat-sen is a great pioneer of the China Revolution. For the first time, he raised the banner of all-round anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism, ended two thousand years of feudal monarchy, established a democratic Republic, and was honored as the "father of the Republic of China."

However, although Dr. Sun Yat-sen put forward the Three People's Principles and successfully overthrew the imperial system, he knew that the revolution was still unsuccessful, because he had begun to realize in the revolutionary struggle that imperialism must be overthrown in order to strive for China's prosperity and independence, so Dr. Sun Yat-sen resolutely opposed imperialism in his later years.

During the period of 1924, Dr. Sun Yat-sen bypassed Japan and Tianjin and arrived in Beijing for illness. He planned to discuss the country with Feng Yuxiang, Duan, Zhang and other warlords, and proposed to abolish the unequal treaties and convene a national conference to solve the difficulties of the current situation.

Unexpectedly, after Dr. Sun Yat-sen arrived in Beijing, his health deteriorated sharply. Under laparotomy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, it was found that Dr. Sun Yat-sen's cancer cells had spread, which was difficult to cure with the medical conditions at that time. Later, Dr. Sun Yixian also tried Chinese medicine therapy, but in the end there was nothing he could do.

1925 March 12, Dr. Sun Yat-sen died of cancer in Beijing. In his will, he issued a resounding call that "the revolution has not yet succeeded, but comrades still need to work hard", hoping that people with lofty ideals can continue to hold high the revolutionary banner and create a brand-new China.

According to Dr. Sun Yat-sen's last wish, people decided to bury Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Zijinshan, Nanjing, and embalm his body for future generations to pay tribute to.

However, Dr. Sun Yat-sen died suddenly, and the location of the mausoleum has not yet been decided, let alone the construction. Even if his body is transported back to Nanjing, it needs to be parked. So, everyone decided to place the body of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Biyun Temple in Xiangshan, Beijing.

After embalming in Union Medical College Hospital, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body was placed in a coffin made of golden nanmu. Subsequently, the National Government asked Dr. Sun Yat-sen's escort to stay at Biyun Temple to guard Dr. Sun's coffin.

The captain of the guard is Tan Huiquan, a guard before Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Tan Huiquan tried his best to protect Dr. and Mrs. Sun Yat-sen when he defected in Chen Jiongming, and he was always loyal to Dr. Sun Yat-sen. He was a guard, but in fact there were only six people in charge of guarding Mr. Sun's coffin, barely enough to form a team.

But they are all loyal to Sun Yat-sen, and they are also very loyal to their duties during the wake. In order to protect Sun Yat-sen's body, they did their best.

The biggest crisis facing Dr. Sun Yat-sen's health comes from Zhang Zongchang. Two years ago, although the whole of China was caught in a war, the body of Sun Yat-sen in Biyun Temple was not disturbed at all.

1926, after the 65,438+10,000 people of the National Revolutionary Army began the Northern Expedition, the situation in the whole country became more chaotic, and Sun Yat-sen's health was in danger, and the initiator of this incident was Zhang Zongchang.

This year, the direct allied forces composed of Feng warlords Li, Zhang Zongchang entered Beijing. Most of Zhang Zongchang's troops are stationed in the western suburbs of Beijing, and Zhang Zongchang himself and his troops have always been famous for their "corrupt military discipline" and "evil deeds".

In the autobiography of Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, a folk song cursing Zhang Zongchang was specially recorded. Because of its evil deeds, Shandong people hate "cooking Zhang Zongchang". At that time, the newspaper directly called Zhang Zongchang "General Dog Meat", saying that he had "three unknowns" and didn't know how much money he had, how many concubines he had and how many soldiers he had.

Of course, the soldiers brought out by such people will not be good soldiers, and they will run amok no matter where they are stationed.

It is said that one day, a group of soldiers under Zhang Zongchang wandered around Biyun Temple, saw the portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in front of the mourning hall, and casually asked the mourners, who was painted on this portrait?

Don't want to conflict with it, the vigil replied that this was "the first president of the Republic of China" Dr. Sun Yat-sen. There is nothing wrong with this statement. After all, when the Republic of China was founded, it was universally acknowledged that Dr. Sun Yat-sen was president.

However, the soldiers were very dissatisfied. As soon as he stared, he opened his mouth and cursed. He also said that Dr. Sun Yat-sen was "not the president" and cursed and tried to pull out his gun and shoot at the portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

When the guards saw that the other side was outnumbered, they were afraid that things would make a big noise and destroy the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and they quickly persuaded the other side. This prevented Zhang Zongchang's men from running amok and let the body of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum survive safely.

Unexpectedly, after another wave of unrest, although Zhang Zongchang's troops won at first, by 1927, the National Revolutionary Army began to win, while Zhang Zongchang was losing ground.

Zhang Zongchang was upset after the defeat, but he had no one else to complain about, which made him even more depressed. At this time, he suddenly remembered that Sun Yat-sen's coffin was temporarily parked in Biyun Temple, so he immediately found himself a "reason for failure". He felt that the body of Dr. Sun Yat-sen occupied the geomantic treasure of Biyun Temple, and its "ghost" did not leave, which led to his retreat.

Zhang Zongchang more think more feel reasonable. He felt that he must try to destroy Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body in order to win again. If it were someone else, because of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's prestige, he wouldn't try this idea, but Zhang Zongchang was born as a bandit, no matter how much. He decided to do it.

However, he can't decide such a big thing by himself. He has to find a way to get his "immediate boss" Zhang to agree with him, so that things can be done.

Zhang Zongchang knew that Zhang was also a superstitious person, so Zhang Zongchang pretended to find a fortune teller. The fortune teller said that Biyun Temple was a treasure trove of geomantic omen, and Sun Yat-sen's coffin was occupied, which was equivalent to the theme. They would definitely not win, so they had to destroy Sun Yat-sen's coffin.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi suddenly felt very reasonable. At this time, he has been overwhelmed by the front-line situation, and he can't care so much in a rage. He agreed that Zhang Zongchang should remove Sun Yat-sen's coffin.

At this time, the guard at the wake also received the news. At that time, Xiong Xiling called the wake and asked them how many soldiers they had. The night watchman said there were only six of them and no soldiers.

Xiong Xiling went on to say that Zhang Zongchang threatened to send guards to burn Sun Yat-sen's body, and told the wake guards to try their best to preserve Sun Yat-sen's body.

Tan Huiquan and others were greatly surprised. They immediately began to think of ways to preserve Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body. At first, they wanted to move Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body into Peking Union Medical College Hospital on the grounds of "re-embalming Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body". After all, the Union Medical College Hospital was still the property of the United States at that time and should be able to preserve Mr. Sun's body.

Unexpectedly, the hospital was afraid of Zhang's revenge, and felt that the matter was of great importance. They dared not accept Mr. Sun's body, so the guards had to find another way.

At this time, a master of Biyun Temple said that there is a hidden cave in Xishan, called Shuiquan Cave, which has a low temperature all the year round and should be suitable for preserving Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body.

Therefore, Tan Huiquan quickly took people to the cave to check, and it was really hidden and cool, which met the conditions for preserving Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body.

So, the guards sent a special potion from the Union Medical College Hospital, wrapped Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body secretly in the middle of the night on1October 25th, 1927+065438, moved into an American coffin, and secretly moved the coffin to a spring hole to be placed, and sent people to guard it day and night.

On the other hand, the guards at the wake turned to Zhang's son, Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang once said that Dr. Sun Yat-sen had "high expectations for his inculcation" and he would certainly follow his instruction. Besides, Zhang Xueliang has a good relationship with Sun Ke, the son of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, so as long as he gets help, Zhang Xueliang will definitely try his best to help.

Sure enough, after learning that Zhang Zongchang was going to destroy Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body, Zhang Xueliang immediately called Zhang Zongchang and scolded him, asking him not to make a move. He also said that if he touched Mr. Sun's coffin, he would "kill him" and stabilize Zhang Zongchang temporarily.

But Zhang Xueliang knew that Zhang Zuo Lin did order the removal of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body, and this order was basically impossible to "recover", so it was not safe to put Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body in Biyun Temple again.

Therefore, Zhang Xueliang secretly sent a telegram to the Nanjing National Government, asking them to take Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body back to Nanjing as soon as possible, and he also said that he could personally escort the body to Tianjin and try his best to help if there were other needs.

But the problem is that Nanjing is busy with the northern expedition and infighting, and no one cares about the air traffic control of Mr. Sun's body at all. It's just that people who need a wake try their best to protect the integrity of Mr. Sun's body.

It is precisely because of this that there is a scene in which the vigil hides the body of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in the Shuiquan Cave. Although this method saved Mr. Sun's body, many people believe that it was this move that caused Mr. Sun's body to turn black and could not be placed in a crystal coffin for people to pay tribute to, but could only be buried underground.

But in any case, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body finally "escaped": six months later, the warlords were defeated and Zhang was killed in Huanggutun on his way back to Shenyang. No one ever mentioned the destruction of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body again.

1929, the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was finally completed, and the "Feng 'an Ceremony" was held in Nanjing. The body of Dr. Sun Yat-sen was officially moved from Beijing to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing for burial, which made the mourners feel a little relieved.

However, the war is not over, and Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body and even the monument are not so safe. After the transfer of the coffin, Biyun Temple built the cenotaph of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, only burying his clothes and other personal belongings, but even this cenotaph was almost destroyed during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period.

Tan Huiquan, the wake bearer, did not follow Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body back to Nanjing, but continued to guard Dr. Sun Yat-sen's cenotaph in Beijing. JiNing Gangcun, the highest officer of the Japanese army in North China, came to Biyun Temple to destroy the cenotaph during his guard.

Tan Huiquan refused to retreat in the face of Japanese soldiers' bayonets and argued. Later, JiNing in Gangcun was probably persuaded by Tan Huiquan not to pester Dr. Sun Yat-sen's cenotaph.

On the other hand, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing is also in danger. Japanese military officer Matsui Shigen once issued an "ultimatum" to the government of the Republic of China, claiming that Nanjing was the location of Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum, and if China's army did not surrender, Japanese artillery fire would "turn Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum into ashes".

China's army didn't surrender. When the Japanese army attacked Nanking, it did take Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum as one of the "breakthrough points". Many buildings in the cemetery, such as Feng 'an Memorial Hall, were damaged by artillery fire. Fortunately, the main body of the mausoleum was not destroyed, and Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body was safe and sound.

However, after the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, it did not further damage the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. To some extent, the Japanese are familiar with Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and they also admire Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Because of his prestige, the Japanese army did not dare to destroy Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body in the end, and it was well preserved in the end.

It is said that when the National Government retreated to Chongqing, it also considered removing Dr. Sun Yat-sen's body, but in the end it gave up for fear that frequent handling would cause damage to the body. It can be seen that Dr. Sun Yat-sen's prestige is so high that no one dares to touch his body. Of course, Mr. Sun's achievements really deserve this "treatment".

It is worth mentioning that although the National Government no longer paid Tan Huiquan "remuneration", he still insisted on guarding the cenotaph for Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and his life was very difficult.

Until the founding of New China, Premier Zhou went to visit Tan Huiquan and told him that he had arranged a job in Xiangshan Garden Bureau, and he was still the leader of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

Moreover, the government also restored the 60 yuan Ocean Allowance that Dr. Sun Yat-sen originally paid Tan Huiquan every month-only 60 yuan RMB was paid, and Tan Huiquan immediately became the highest paid person among the employees of the Bureau of Landscape Architecture, and the whole family lived a life of food and clothing.

It can be seen that Dr. Sun Yat-sen's historical contributions are still very important to the new China, and the new China still respects Dr. Sun Yat-sen very much.
