The "Song case" ended in a peculiar way, leaving behind a land of chicken feathers, leaving no peace between the two major forces in the south. The constitutionalists of the Civic Party felt that the Revolutionary Party had even used such indiscriminate means as assassination, and made it clear that it would not share the cake with the Civic Party, and no matter how Coff's statements were clarified, how he vouched for his personal reputation, and how he was willing to discuss the state of the country, and even accepted the Civic Party's recommendation for the prime minister, the Revolutionary Party, whose credibility had been lost, could not regain the trust of other forces. What is even more obvious is that Xiong Kewu, the founder of the anti-Qing Xingzhong Society, who fought under the banner of Qiaofu, also announced his separation from the revolutionary party in the same month, "putting the well-being of the fathers and elders in Sichuan as the priority, and forming a joint autonomous government of Sichuan and Shu with Liu Cunhou, Yang Sen and other generals in Sichuan." ”

Of course, what made Jov even more angry was that the warlords of the southwest broke off with the revolutionary party. Tang Jiyao, a warlord of the Yunnan faction, and Lu Rongting, a warlord of the Gui faction, successively announced their separation from the revolutionary party and the exercise of autonomy, and at the same time gave the revolutionary parties of the provinces as gifts. The Guangdong Army's Longjiguang Department also engaged in wind and rain in the city of Guangzhou, and obviously distanced itself from the revolutionary party. Needless to say, Hubei is the nest of the constitutionalists, Uncle Li's prestige in Hubei is not covered, and the revolutionary party in the Hubei army is not absent, but they are all under the surveillance of the constitutionalists, and they can't use their strength, and there are constant small frictions on weekdays, as long as you dare to pull out a gun, the constitutionalists dare to say that the revolutionary party wants to clean up the party, carry out massacres, and annex the Hubei army, and the disgusting revolutionary party in Hubei can't. Hunan is a chaotic place, Tan Yanmin can control only one-third of Hunan, the national defense army has already stepped into northern Hunan and laid a nail for the boss, and southeast Hunan was occupied by Lu Rongting of the Gui family, and the Hunan army was very aggrieved. Even later generations of Taizu gave up martial arts and literature again and went to Hunan Normal to become a student.

Now, in addition to a few garrison regiments in Nanjing, only Huang Kedi's Jianguo Jiangxi Army, Chen Jiongming in northern Guangdong, and Cheng Dequan in southern Fujian can still be regarded as the armed forces of the revolutionary party.

Regarding the Song case, historian Tang Degang once lamented with regret: "The personal and physical evidence in the Song Dunchu case is very complete, and if it were tried openly in front of the eyes of the people of the whole country, it would really be of great benefit to China's transformation from autocracy to the legal system." Unfortunately, both the plaintiff and the defendant lacked the concept of the rule of law at that time, and their thinking was very outdated.

In fact, the cabinet system advocated by Song Dunchu was formed on the basis of parliament. The head of the Cabinet is the leader of the political party or coalition of political parties elected by parliament and with a majority of the members of parliament. The Head of State represents the State only in name and has no real power. The actual power of the State rests with the Cabinet, which is accountable to Parliament on behalf of the Head of State.

For Jof, who is bent on ruling by the party, the responsible cabinet system is undoubtedly an eyesore. In order to remove the obstacles on the road to dictatorship, the abolition of the responsible cabinet system is an imperative step.

The Civic Party's victory in the second parliamentary election led to the Civic Party's ambition to appoint Soong Dun-chu as prime minister and weaken Jove's power. Before the formal session of the National Assembly, Song Dunchu traveled down the east of the Yangtze River, making speeches everywhere along the way, criticizing the Nanjing government and the northern autonomous government, expounding his own constitutional ideals, and creating public opinion for the establishment of a responsible cabinet and the realization of democratic politics. The style of speech is tempting.

Song Dunchu's death is certainly deplorable. It is true that even if he became premier, many of China's problems and crises at that time would not necessarily be solved. However, these problems and crises may be borne by a responsible government; Parliamentary democracy and the rotation of political parties may have the opportunity to experiment and mature within the framework of constitutional government. His assassination made this fleeting opportunity long gone. As Brother Yu Youren said in his diary, "The candlelight of parliamentary democracy is so fragile, swaying in front of the tomb of Song Gong, and it will eventually be extinguished before dawn." ”

The Yuelu Mountain in Changsha is home to countless Hunan martyrs. At that time, some people also advocated that Song Dunchu be buried here, but his confidant Yu Youren did not approve of it, because "Song Jun was a great man of the Republic of China, and he was not privately obtained by a province in Hunan." He hoped to open up a open space in Shanghai, "first build a park and bury Song Jun here", and then, "the deceased after our revolutionary party can be buried here in the future, as the grave of our revolutionaries." Later, he used his own shares to distribute dividends and remuneration, and Wu Chenxuan also privately sponsored a thousand oceans, plus the generosity of several old friends. Sure enough, 100 acres of land were purchased in Zhabei District and a "Song Park" was built.

After the statue of Song Dunchu in the garden, there is an inscription written by Yu Youren: "The death of Mr. is cherished by the world, and the trip of Mr. is known by the world, and I remember it?" For a straight stroke? Straight pen killing. For the song? Twisted pen heavenly. Sigh, the tears of the nine plains, the blood of the world, the pen of old friends, and the iron of thieves. Yu Huh! The empty mountain of Le, the good history of the period, the heart and liver, the quality of the heaven and the earth. ”

The tomb of Song Dunchu is in the north area of the park, under the shade of the dragon cypress, a stone statue three or four meters high jumps into view, Song Dunchu bows his head and ponders, and sits peacefully. The pedestal is engraved with the word "fisherman" inscribed by Mr. Zhang Binglin - Song Dunchu's alias is the fisherman, and he is indeed a fisherman who "forgets the distance of the road", but what he wants to catch is not one or two fish, but the dream of a peach blossom paradise in a constitutional country. Unfortunately, this dream is like a fish that has been caught and put back into the water, thinking that it can breathe freely when it returns to the water, but it is always in the basket.

Compared with the arduous climb of Yuelu Mountain, Song Yuan seems to be more "close to the people". Over the years, Shanghai gradually expanded, and Song Park became a rare local green park, with many old people in the park, some of them sitting leisurely on the railing next to the tomb to bask in the sun. In the fishing pond, there are constantly people who come to sit and fish, which is quite the name of the "fisherman" of this Hunan Taoyuan person.

After being reminded by the newspaper, everyone noticed that in the Song case, Song Dunchu's will to Fan Changming, a senator of the Civic Party and president of the "Citizen Daily", was, "All the public should do their best, don't think of me, and give up their sense of responsibility." I have worked hard to reconcile the two parties, and the rumor-mongers and a group of people do not know what happened. Zhou Xisan, a reporter from the "Minli Daily" who accompanied him in the hospital, once heard him say when he was conscious, "I didn't expect that the reconciliation between the two parties would be difficult." Current affairs are like this, but what a problem! How! Song seems to believe that his assassination was only misunderstood for his efforts to reconcile the Civic Party with the Revolutionary Party. In this way, he did not regard Wu Chenxuan and other northern forces as the masterminds of the assassination at all, because it was impossible for Wu Chenxuan to "misunderstand" him in this matter.

What's even more intriguing is that Song Dunchu did not mention Qiao Fu on his deathbed, but entrusted Huang Kedi to send a telegram to Wu Chenxuan on his behalf, sighing, "Jinan Chief Wu Xun Jian: Since he was taught, he has been bound to love himself, although he has never been resigned, he has never complained about his personal ...... Today, the country has not been consolidated, the people's welfare has not increased, and if you let go, you will die with hatred. The Commander-in-Chief of Fu Ji is open-minded, fair-minded, and strives to protect the rights of the people, so that the National Assembly can determine the unbreakable constitution, and although the day of death is still the year of life. Dying lamentations, still pray for acceptance. Until his death, Song Dunchu did not think that he was assassinated by Wu Chenxuan's people.

After the death of Song Gong, members of the Civic Party of Parliament still went to Nanjing as originally planned. On September 8, the 4th year of the Republic of China, the Second National Assembly of the Republic of China was officially opened. On the 10th, the Senate elected Zhang Ji, a member of the Civic Party, as speaker, and Wang Zhengting, a member of the Revolutionary Party, as vice speaker, but history has quietly turned to another track. According to Tang Hualong, a member of the Civic Party, after the death of Song Dunchu, other party leaders (Li Shu) could not go to Jinling to preside over the overall situation, and the Civic Party headquarters in Nanjing was leaderless, and not only could it not contact other parties, but it was also difficult to unify its own party. The Civic Party was originally a grass-roots group formed by uniting various factions, but the old constitutionalists were far more radical than the other factions, and the relatively stable party members did not think so, and the situation was sluggish, and many people in the Civic Party left the party one after another. In order to regain his prestige, instigated by Liang Qichao and others, the Civic Party initiated the Citizens' Party, and the three parties of Citizen, Unity, and Democracy jointly proposed a bill to impeach the president. Accusing Jov of misconduct, bias, and serious suspicion of murdering his rivals by illegal means during his presidency, and of being unfit to continue as head of state, he submitted to the House of Representatives a vote on impeachment of the president.

In a sense, the Nanjing government and the Civic Party adopted a similar strategy: while arguing for the legal case against Song, they prepared a plan to knock out their opponents by some means. However, this time it was Liang Qichao, a veteran, who stepped out and attacked the key points of the revolutionary party with a poisonous dragon drill, in fact, he did not expect Qiao Fu to obediently take the blame and resign, but to discredit the revolutionary party through impeachment and achieve the goal of re-establishing the status of the ruling party in the Congress.

It is a pity that Liang Qichao does not know how many people in his parliamentary group and the members of the Revolutionary Party who are fighting with him have been controlled by the two bureaus. China's parliamentary democracy has been played by Wu Chenxuan from the very beginning, in a sense, Song Dunchu died well, otherwise he would have been angry to death by the betrayal of his younger brothers. After much debate, on September 15, the House of Representatives voted on the impeachment motion jointly sponsored by the three parties. Unexpectedly, the 596-member House of Representatives voted by secret ballot, and actually approved the impeachment case with 407 votes in favor, 153 votes against, 36 abstentions, and a pass rate of 68.29%, the first impeached President Qiao Fu in Chinese history was freshly released, although the Senate also had to vote, and it must be passed by a two-thirds majority before the impeachment can be successful, but for the revolutionary party that occupies more than 230 seats, the number of votes in favor exceeded two-thirds, which is simply a joke. It can only be said that some, and a considerable number of the revolutionary party parliamentarians, abstained or voted in favor, which means that the revolutionary party itself is also in a state of panic.

On the afternoon of the House vote, Joe was hospitalized with a hernia, and his congressional inquiry had to be postponed. But the split and weakening of the revolutionary party was almost a certainty. However, the development of events makes people sigh that the fate of the Republic of China is uncertain.

On the eve of the Senate's imminent vote on impeachment, the Revolutionary Party made a preemptive strike and several garrisons in Nanjing, under the command of Wang Zhaoming and Chiang Zhengqing, suddenly attacked and surrounded the apartment of the deputies. Under the pretext that Liang Qichao, Tang Xiangming, Tang Hualong, and other members of the Civic Party had secretly formed a party for personal gain, in a vain attempt to overthrow the republican regime, they were dismissed from office and expelled from the National Assembly, and at the same time announced the dissolution of the National Assembly, which would be temporarily represented by the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Party until next year's presidential election. The following month, the Hubei Revolutionary Party launched the "Second Revolution", but it died down in less than two weeks. At one time, it was expected to capture Uncle Li's overthrow of the Hubei army controlled by the Civic Party in one fell swoop, but several inconsistencies again became fatal wounds, and the Hubei Revolutionary Party had to go into exile in other provinces. The bloodless coup d'état in Nanking overthrew the National Assembly, which had just been in office for less than half a month, but the actions of the revolutionary party had already made their banner of democracy and freedom a laughing stock, and the Civic Party and other forces had no choice but to seek a force that could dispel evil and restore the DPRK.

Therefore, at the pleading request of the broad masses of the people in the south and various democratic political parties, the Wehrmacht began to station in the southeastern provinces, and there were countless leading parties along the way, while almost all of the revolutionary party troops, which were already very confused about the belief in the revolution, did not let go of a single shot, or accepted the reorganization or dispersed into birds and beasts, and the revolutionary new army that Jov had worked so hard to build collapsed within a month, and only his four garrison regiments were still holding Nanjing. Just like the Battle of Tianjing fifty years ago, the two sides faced off in a tense confrontation under the city of Nanjing.
