谁杀了杨永泰?

Who Killed Yang Yongtai

刺杀杨永泰一案由失业的黄埔毕业生杨尔谦等人策划组织实施,他们此前已刺杀唐有壬,还密谋刺杀张群甚至蒋介石。他们自述暗杀理由为这些官员是主张对日妥协的"亲日派"。戴笠调查刺杨案发现胡汉民派的刘芦隐为杨尔谦提供了资金,刘芦隐因此被逮捕,并被指控是出于嫉妒而主使杨尔谦等人刺杨,但刘芦隐本人一直否认对刺杨一事知情。通过对杨尔谦人际网络的梳理,可以发现他除了接受刘芦隐资助外,还与王亚樵、陈铭枢等反蒋人士都有联系,因此,刺杨案背后确实有反蒋派系的因素。刺杨案的发生,一方面反映了民国政治暗杀盛行的不良风气,另一方面也反映了在日本侵略步步进逼下"亲日派"失去民心、"反蒋"与"抗日"合流的大趋势。

This article revisits the investigation and hearing process of the Yang Yongtai Assassination Case based on the author’s examination of relevant archives,newspapers and memoirs.The murder was orchestrated and carried out by Yang Erqian,a graduate from Whampoa Military Academy,and his accomplices.They had assassinated Tang Youren before then and once orchestrated to assassinate Zhang Qun and even Chiang Kai-shek.They claimed that they only assassinated those officials who succumbed to the Japanese.In the investigation of the Yang Yongtai Assassination Case,Dai Li found that Liu Luyin,a member of the Hu Hanmin Faction,provided the wherewithal for Yang Erqian.Thus,Liu Luyin was arrested and accused that he ordered Yang Erqian to assassinate Yang Yongtai due to jealousy.For his part,Liu Luyin repeatedly denied that he knew anything about the assassination beforehand.By examining the social network of Yang Erqian,however,we can find that apart from receiving the financial support from Liu Luyin,Yang Erqian also kept contact with some opponents of Chiang Kai-shek,like Wang Yaqiao and Chen Mingshu.It turns out that some anti-Chiang Kai-shek factions did pull the strings behind the Yang Yongtai Assassination Case.The Yang Yongtai Assassination Case shed light on the rampant political assassinations during the period of the Republic of China.It also epitomized the grand convergence trend between antiChiang Kai-shek forces and the forces that resisted Japanese aggression,against the background that the Pro-Japanese faction lost its public appeal as the Japanese stepped up its aggression against China.
