During the Republic of China period, the relationship between Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang was something that many people could not figure out, Zhang Xueliang could be said to be Chiang Kai-shek's teacher and Chiang Kai-shek's military teacher, but Zhang Xueliang arrested Chiang Kai-shek, and after Chiang Kai-shek was free, he imprisoned Zhang Xueliang, and in the life of the two, there were many stories, but also a lot of hatred, after Chiang Kai-shek's death, Zhang Xueliang collapsed on the spot, knelt on the ground and shouted 16 words, these 16 words, words are heart-wrenching.
Zhang Xueliang, because of his father, he also became a member of the army, and even inherited his father's military rule, after following Chiang Kai-shek, he assisted Chiang Kai-shek to participate in many battles, Chiang Kai-shek at first also had a lot of respect for Zhang Xueliang, because of the relationship between the two, Chiang Kai-shek also regarded Zhang Xueliang as his teacher, but when Chiang Kai-shek insisted on not resisting the Japanese army, Zhang Xueliang made a major decision.
However, after Zhang Xueliang captured Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek did agree to the cooperation between the two parties, but unfortunately, Zhang Xueliang originally wanted to continue to assist Chiang Kai-shek, so he resolutely escorted Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing despite Premier Zhou's persuasion.
And Chiang Kai-shek, even if he knew that Zhang Xueliang still wanted to assist himself, also knew that Zhang Xueliang chose to follow him back to Nanjing in order to save his face, but Chiang Kai-shek always had mustard in his heart, he once had great trust in Zhang Xueliang, but Zhang Xueliang betrayed him, no matter what Zhang Xueliang's purpose was, Chiang Kai-shek could not accept it.
Therefore, after Chiang Kai-shek returned to Nanjing safely, the first thing he did was to punish Zhang Xueliang, first of all, to weaken Zhang Xueliang's military power, in fact, he directly took back Zhang Xueliang's power, Zhang Xueliang no longer had the right to live in the army, let alone the right to participate in decision-making.
Secondly, Chiang Kai-shek still wanted to execute Zhang Xueliang, but under the persuasion of Soong Mei-ling, Chiang Kai-shek still remembered Zhang Xueliang's care and advice for many years, and moved his heart of compassion, so he did not kill Zhang Xueliang, but in order to consolidate his power, Chiang Kai-shek still imprisoned Zhang Xueliang, and this imprisonment was imprisoned for more than half a century
In these more than half a century, Zhang Xueliang also had a time of resentment toward Chiang Kai-shek, after all, Zhang Xueliang himself was in a high position, and the foundation of the army left by his father was still unpredictable, but under Chiang Kai-shek's imprisonment, he not only lost power, but also lost his father's career. After Zhang Xueliang heard the news of Chiang Kai-shek's death, he said 16 words - "Caring is like flesh and bones; the struggle between political views is like qiu yan."
