The incident is as follows:
In the 31st year of Guangxu (1905), Ge Hongtai and Deng Guihe, the Hong Kong religious people in Nanchang County, violated the criminal law. Jiang Zhaotang ordered the arrest of the two criminals. Prisoner Ge fled and hid in Nanchang Catholic Church, where he was protected by Bishop Wang Anzhi. On the 29th of the first month of the 32nd year of Guangxu's reign, Wang Anzhi invited Jiang Zhaotang to a "banquet" at the Catholic Church. He actually offered to release prisoner Deng, exempt prisoner Ge from prosecution, commute the death sentence to the first prisoner in Tangpu, compensate the parishioners for their losses, and provide him with a hundred thousand taels of silver. demanded, and declared: "If you don't comply, you will pay with your life." Jiang immediately reprimanded: "This is the state of the Qing Empire. We can only act in accordance with the laws of the Qing Dynasty, and no outsiders are allowed to interfere." "Zhao Tangtou can Break, but the reason cannot be bent!" Wang Anzhi showed his ferocity, assassinated Jiang Zhaotang and then escaped. But the government officials were as afraid of the ocean as tigers and did not dare to uphold justice. People in Nanchang took to the streets to demonstrate and beat Wang Anzhi to death as he fled. They burned down four churches and killed eight foreign missionaries, leading to the "Nanchang Mission Case" that shocked both China and the world.
The Qing court succumbed to the pressure of the British and French powers, paid an indemnity of 350,000 silver taels, and beheaded more than a dozen of the leading martyrs. Jiang Zhaotang knew that his grievances were difficult to redress. In order to prevent the people of Nanchang from suffering any more, he angrily went on a hunger strike and refused medical treatment and died in the line of duty. Nanchang, Xinjian, Shanggao and other counties have built " Jianggong Temple " and "Jianggong Temple" to offer sacrifices all year round.
