Don't look at Zhang Xueliang's life past the end of his life, his experience is not difficult to sum up, only four sentences can fully describe the life of this marshal: sleeping in the kaleidoscope when he was young; taking power was effortless to withdraw from the northeast; he did a heroic thing when he started another stove; and spent the second half of his life in prison when he was wrecked. It was such a person who, when he was about to die, kept chanting six words in his mouth, what was there that no one knew?
Even if you think about it now, many people will think that all the pots that did not resist were Chiang Kai-shek's pot, in fact, Chiang Kai-shek may have only thought so at the beginning, but it is Zhang Xueliang who wants to say who put this matter into action. In his confession in his later years, Zhang Xueliang took the initiative to admit this mistake, saying that he was ill-considered of the situation. Although his action saved the lives of many Kwantung Army, it missed a good opportunity and opened the door.
In fact, with the military strength at that time, the Japanese who cleaned up the provocation were not at all. There were more than 8,000 people stationed in the North Camp alone, and the military reserves were also the top level of the country, but in this way, our young marshal did not want to damage his troops at all, and because of this, he was also blamed by posterity. What was it that made him give such a ridiculous order? In fact, he took over his father's family business, but he did not have the ability to command thousands of troops and horses, and only wanted to protect himself.
When we re-examine this history, it is easy to see that the Japanese deliberately provoked trouble, but Zhang Xueliang at that time did not think so long-term, let alone how to deal with this group of foreigners who harbored evil intentions. In order to be able to preserve his strength, he chose the worst path. In the eyes of people now, it is extremely stupid, but this is Zhang Xueliang's truest thought. Afterwards, our young marshal quickly realized his mistake, he did not want to meet his own soldiers, only wanted to use military strength, back to the hometown where he was raised.
The heavy troops in his hands could make him turn a deaf ear to the orders of the superiors, and Old Jiang also went to Xi'an to meet this disobedient subordinate for a while, but the interview between the two people was not harmonious at all, and finally the two people with different opinions formed a bond. But it was this incident that caused Zhang Xueliang to finally do what seemed right, and he cooperated with Yang Hucheng to force Chiang Kai-shek to change his mind and turn the spearhead to the outside world. As far as this matter is concerned, Zhang Xueliang still played a positive influence.
But this is undoubtedly a provocation to the supreme authority, and Chiang Kai-shek must have let him go easily. With a slight withdrawal of his hand, Zhang Xueliang was arrested and erected, and even after the death of old Jiang, his son still failed to let Zhang Xueliang go. It was not until his twilight years, chiang ching-kuo, that he was able to regain his freedom. But his next stop is the United States and the Northeast he has in mind, is it that people do not welcome him? No, it is only because the relations between Taiwan and the mainland have just eased.
At the time of his death, Zhang Xueliang's heart was full of mixed feelings. When his youngest son brought the map to him, the old man's cloudy eyes flashed with a strange light, and he stared dead at the northeast, tears flowing in an instant, and said 6 words: "Yes... No, back... Don't go! It is not difficult to see that Zhang Xueliang in his later years deeply realized how stupid his original decision was, and he also paid the price for his actions, but this regret is difficult to eliminate.
