Jiangnan caseEnd the Chiang family, Jingguo: the family does not succeed
Since Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo retired to Taiwan, Taiwan's political discourse has been in the hands of the Chiang family. However, the "Jiangnan case" in 1984 changed this situation.
The case shocked the whole of Taiwan**, Chiang Ching-kuo announced that the original heir was no longer eligible for succession, and announced that the future leadership election will be in accordance with the constitution and the will of the people, and the people who will be most supported by the people will be elected.
Since then, the influence of the Chiang family in Taiwan has gradually weakened, and until today, the descendants of the Chiang family have basically withdrawn from the ** and completely lost the right to political discourse. So, what kind of hidden secrets are hidden behind the "Jiangnan Case" that led the Jiang family to decline?
Jiangnan" was killed, and the mystery is to be solved. On October 15, 1984, the sea breeze in San Francisco was gently blowing, and Liu Yiliang, a Taiwanese journalist in the United States, had breakfast with his wife.
Liu Yiliang looked at his watch, bit the bread in his mouth, and got up to prepare for today's interview. He put on his suit and picked up his car keys to get ready to go out, but before he could go out, he frowned at the sight of a book on the shoe cabinet.
That book, "The Biography of Chiang Ching-kuo," was a political book from a year earlier, which described the political scandals of Chiang Ching-kuo and Chiang Kai-shek, and exposed the factional struggles that existed within the Kuomintang.
Liu Yiliang is a staff member of Taiwan's intelligence department, and he knows that this book will cause the wrath of Taiwan's **, so he put the book away and warned his wife to guard against others.
Then, Liu Yiliang went out to get in the car and drove away. This book later caused a total ban in Taiwan.
After Liu Yiliang ran to the United States, he remained vigilant about possible revenge from the Chiang family and tried to avoid exposing himself. However, he was very angry when he found a book in a prominent position.
He parked at the agreed spot and did not notice a car following behind. As soon as he got out of the car, he was hit by the man in black, and he was killed before he could beg for mercy.
This case has attracted the attention of all parties, and all ** point to the Chiang family, suspecting that they sent assassins in revenge for what was written in the Biography of Chiang Ching-kuo.
Even the FBI believes that ** may have been sent by Taiwan. After investigation, they suspected that Taiwan's *** organization "Bamboo Union Gang" had something to do with it. When news of the death of writer Jiang Nan reached Taiwan, it caused a storm.
As the incident fermented, more and more political rumors spread in Taiwan. In order to downplay the political color of the incident, the Taiwan authorities have spread the argument that this was a "personal vendetta."
However, this statement is not recognized by many people. In order to protect himself, Chiang Ching-kuo personally ordered the arrest of the leaders of the Bamboo Union Gang, Chen Qili and Wu Dun, and an accomplice fled to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
In a secret club in San Francisco, Wang Xiling personally went out to negotiate with Liu Yiliang. He promised to give Liu Yiliang a large sum of money and asked him to hand over all the information on the "Biography of Chiang Ching-kuo".
Liu Yiliang knew the value of the book, but he didn't agree. Wang Xiling waited for a few days and did not get a reply, so she began to plan to kill Liu Yiliang. They took advantage of Liu Yiliang's trust and let him be killed unsuspectingly.
Wang Xiling did not get the desired outcome in the negotiations, and Liu Yiliang ostensibly accepted the copyright request, but secretly wrote another book, similar to "The Biography of Chiang Ching-kuo".
When Wang Xiling learned about it, she angrily rebuked Liu Yiliang and received support from Chen Humen and Hu Yimin. They contacted the "Bamboo Union Gang" to formulate an assassination plan against Liu Yiliang.
However, this plan eventually led to the ** and flight of Chen Qili, Wu Dun and Dong Guisen. In order to protect herself, Wang Xiling ordered the authorities to arrest Dong Guisen to prevent the United States from revealing his secrets.
Chen Qili had already prepared before **, he handed over the recording of collusion with Wang Xiling to a friend, and told him to send the recording to the Americans if he ** himself, causing as much dispute as possible.
Unfortunately, he was caught before he could escape. Almost at the same time, the recording was made public by ABC, exposing the ugly face of Taiwan's military intelligence.
As soon as this news came out, it shocked Chiang Ching-kuo. At this point, Chiang Ching-kuo's reputation and fame were irretrievable. He immediately ordered the arrest and conviction of the three members of the Military Intelligence Service involved in the case as a sign of integrity.
However, the three of Wang Xiling, the manipulators behind the scenes, have never been confirmed. But according to the person who sent the recording, the ** behind the scenes is Jiang Jingguo's eldest son Jiang Xiaowu.
Chiang Xiaowu was Chiang Ching-kuo's fourth son, and before this incident, he was highly regarded by his father as Chiang Ching-kuo's heir. Jiang Xiaowu is domineering by nature, has a prominent family background, and is often pampered and arrogant.
However, due to his father's constraints, he did not do anything too out of the ordinary. Because of his father's status, Jiang Xiaowu's political future is bright. At the time of this incident, he had already set foot in the inner circle of Taiwan's political circles, and the power in his hands was enough to command many departments in Taiwan.
When the United States pointed out that Chiang Hsiao-wu was the mastermind behind the "Jiangnan case," the Taiwan people were shocked. If this news is true, then the population is intolerable to a "murderer" being used as a candidate for leadership.
In an attempt to appease public anger, Chiang Ching-kuo ordered the authorities to claim that it was all Wang Xiling's personal actions and that none of them had anything to do with anyone else. However, the publication of the recording made Jiang Xiaowu's reputation collapse, and things became irreparable.
As the investigation progressed, the Military Intelligence Bureau was rectified, several staff members were suspended, Wang Xiling was sentenced to life imprisonment, and the other accomplices were punished accordingly.
However, the gossip about Jiang Xiaowu has not stopped. Eventually, Chiang Ching-kuo was forced to submit to popular opinion, removing Chiang from the list of candidates and making a rule that all leaders from him onwards must be elected by the public in accordance with the Constitution.
Chiang Hsiao-yong was not convicted, he was sent to Singapore by Chiang Ching-kuo to start a new life. After the death of Chiang Ching-kuo, the Chiang family failed to find a strong competitor, and a new era was opened in Taiwan.
The Jiang dynasty seems to have lost all its luck because of the "Jiangnan case" and has since faded out. With the withdrawal of the Chiang dynasty, Taiwan's political policy changed, and Chiang Ching-kuo's efforts for cross-strait reunification were in vain.
This family, which has been extremely influential in Taiwan for decades, may never have imagined that a book by an unknown journalist would eventually lead the entire family to lose its influence in Taiwanese politics and go into decline.
