As we all know, in the two months before December 1936, Zhang Xueliang had been writing to Lao Jiang to demand that the anti-Japanese resistance be unanimous and the civil war should be stopped, but Lao Jiang was determined to suppress the Communists, and in the case of fruitless persuasion, the senior generals headed by Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng directly launched a military advisory in the early morning.
On December 12, 1936, the Xi'an Incident, which shocked China and foreign countries, broke out, Chiang Kai-shek was captured alive in Huaqingchi, Chen Cheng, Wei Lihuang and other Kuomintang military and political leaders were detained by the Seventeenth Route Army, and then Chiang Kai-shek's cousin and grandson and chief of bodyguards, Jiang Xiaoxian, was killed in the chaos.
Who is this Jiang Xiaoxian? He was Chiang Kai-shek's cousin and grandson, a student of the Huangpu Phase I, and because of his kinship with Chiang Kai-shek, he was promoted quickly in kuomintang politics, and at the age of 33 he was already the deputy commander of the gendarmerie in Peiping, and at the age of 35 he became Chiang Kai-shek's right guard chief, and a year later he was promoted to the rank of major general.
On the evening of December 11, 1936, Lao Jiang invited Zhang Xueliang and others to a banquet in Lintong, which was not a good banquet, and Lao Jiang came to a scene of "changing generals", he was ready to let Wei Lihuang and Jiang Dingwen command the Central Army to encircle and suppress the communist army instead of the Eastern and Northwest Armies.
He ordered Sun Mingjiu, the commander of the second battalion, and Shang Tongchang, the acting commander, to assemble the team and lead the two companies to Huaqingchi overnight. He drove Chiang Kai-shek's car all night in Xi'an City, and when it was almost dawn in the early morning, Jiang Xiaoxian slowly returned to Lintong in a car.
Unexpectedly, on the road, he was blocked by a car, which was the eighth company led by Shang Tongchang, Shang Tongchang did not know Jiang Xiaoxian, he looked at the business card, did not dare to be careless, let the battalion instructor and two soldiers get into Jiang Xiaoxian's car, and also let the guards surrender his weapons.
In fact, the chaos in Huaqingchi ended quickly, Old Jiang could not even wear shoes at that time, hurriedly jumped out of the window to escape, and also broke his back, he hid under a large rock, but he was found alive, and when old Jiang was captured, Bai Fengxiang, commander of the Sixth Cavalry Division, ordered arrangements for the captured personnel Qian Dajun and Jiang Xiaoxian to return to Xi'an.
It just so happened that Liu Duoquan, the commander of the 105th Division of the Northeast Army, came over and reflected that his men had killed and wounded a lot in a fierce battle with the old Jiang guards, which led to Jiang Xiaoxian being directly affected by Chiyu, Bai Fengxiang did not say a word, ordered the aide-de-camp Chang Guobin to kill Jiang Xiaoxian, he tricked Jiang Xiaoxian into a remote small garden, and shot him to death five or six times in a row.
Strictly speaking, Jiang Xiaoxian died a bit unjustly, Zhang Xueliang was too unwilling to go at that time, he also specially sent a sum of money to Jiang Xiaoxian's wife Yuan Jingzhi to do things, but for Yuan Jingzhi, the culprit of all this was Zhang Xueliang, and she was eager to kill him and then quickly.
Zhang Xueliang was assassinated twice at Xikou, and Yu Fengzhi skillfully defused the crisis
Jiang Xiaoxian and Yuan Jingzhi were married through free love, the two had a deep relationship, and after marriage, they also had three sons and four daughters, after the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang was put under house arrest, and changed places many times during the period, until 1937 he was transferred to Xuedou Mountain at the mouth of Fenghua Xikou, with his wife Yu Fengzhi accompanying him.
Yuan Jingzhi, after learning about this situation, decided to find an opportunity to avenge her husband, so she came to the monastery of Xuedou Mountain to do things, and when the cries of zhentian reached the ears of Zhang Xueliang and his wife, they sent people to inquire, and then the spies reported that Jiang Xiaoxian's widow was paying tribute to her deceased husband.
Zhang Xue's conscience carried a hint of shame, he decided to enter the temple to put an incense, and when the worship was over, Zhang Xueliang said to Yuan Jingzhi in a calm tone: Lady Jiang, people cannot be resurrected from the dead, please take care of your body, "Yuan Jingzhi, who was kneeling aside, listened, pretended to return the salute, but his hand reached into his clothes and prepared to take out a gun."
As a result, Yu Fengzhi on the side saw that something was wrong, and she shouted: Han Qing! He pounced on Yuan Jingzhi's body, and his hands pressed her gun deadly, at this time, Liu Yiguang outside the door rushed in, and Yuan Jingzhi could only give up the assassination.
The first assassination failed, Yuan Jingzhi did not give up, and soon, she was ambushed in the small forest where Zhang Xueliang and his wife often walked on the side of the road, and after seeing that there were people around them to protect them, she could only shoot a hundred meters away, but because she was not able to shoot, she did not hit, and then she was also arrested by Liu Yiguang.
Originally, he was going to go through some torture, but Yu Fengzhi let people let go of Yuan Jingzhi and said frankly: "Lady Jiang, I am Han Qing's wife, if you insist that Han Qing is your husband-killer, then shoot, I am willing to die for him!" ”
Seeing Yu Fengzhi's affection for her husband, Yuan Jingzhi was both touched and admired, the two people did not hold back and hugged each other and cried into tears, after which the two also became friends who talked about nothing, when the hatred was put down, Yuan Jingzhi also gave up assassinating Zhang Xueliang.
Because Yu Fengzhi's health has not been very good, after accompanying Zhang Xueliang for three years, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, Zhang Xueliang proposed that Yu Fengzhi go to the United States to see a doctor, by Miss Zhao Si to accompany himself, Chiang Kai-shek agreed, but did not expect Yu Fengzhi to leave, the two waited for half a century, until death did not see each other again.
