Speaking of the "Xi'an Incident", Presumably, as long as the officials who have a little understanding of modern history, they must be familiar with it. However, for the future encounter of the two parties who initiated this incident, many people only know one and do not know the other.
Only one of them is Zhang Xueliang. After Zhang Xueliang was peacefully resolved in this incident, because of his special personal connections and relations with Song Meiling and others, the final result was to put Old Jiang under house arrest for more than fifty years, and he was not freed until 1990.
During the period of house arrest, after all, Old Jiang had to be jealous of Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army, coupled with the strong financial resources of the Zhang family, so in addition to not having any freedom, the others did not suffer any hardships. Moreover, the guards in charge of guarding Zhang Xueliang at that time all received more or less benefits from Zhang Xueliang, so they basically provided Zhang Xueliang with good food and drink.
After regaining his freedom in 1990, Zhang Xueliang also went to Hawaii in 1995 and lived leisurely until 2001, at the age of 101, which can already be said to be a very good ending. Let's take a look at this one. The second is that there is another party to the incident: Yang Hucheng. Everyone knows the end of Yang Hucheng, who was killed by Lao Jiang, but the specific killing process is not understood by many people. Today, Xiaobian will talk to you about this. Yang Hucheng's death was not a direct assassination by the old Jiang people, and it can even be said that if Yang Hucheng died so clean and neat, it would be good.
In fact, Lao Jiang's method of killing Yang Hucheng was to torture him for 12 years with various inhuman means. This kind of torture is not just physical, but both mental and physical. Until the end, Yang Hucheng and his son and daughter were killed together, which was simply heinous. And those who disclosed the killing were Zhou Yanghao, who was known as the "Three Musketeers of military unification", and Shen Drunk. After the Battle of Songhu, Yang Hucheng asked to resist Japan, but was deceived by old Jiang into going to Nanjing with the reason that "as long as he can come to Nanjing to admit his mistakes, then reconcile with Yang Hucheng".
After arriving in Nanjing, old Jiang first told Yang Hucheng that in order to calm public opinion, he must first publicly dismiss Yang Hucheng from all his posts, and then start reusing it after a while. Yang Hucheng believed it, but what he didn't know was that the old Jiang had dismissed Yang Hucheng from his post on the front foot, and his seventeenth army had been reorganized on the back foot, and as soon as the seventeenth army was reorganized, Yang Hucheng was like a tiger with its fangs pulled out. A year later, Yang Hucheng thought he would be able to get reused days, but in exchange for detention. And this level was locked up for 12 years, until he was killed in 1949. According to Zhou Yanghao's recollection, the days when Yang Hucheng was imprisoned were simply unbearable and tragic. Including Yang Hucheng's wife, Xie Baozhen, who died of illness in prison due to various devastating insanities during her imprisonment.
Yang Hucheng's son and daughter were later taken to Chongqing and imprisoned in the foul-smelling "slag hole" (Song Zhenzhong, the little radish head we know as a little radish, was also imprisoned here at this time). But who knew that soon after arriving in Chongqing, Yang Hucheng and his two children were killed by the enemy one after another, when the eldest son Yang Zhengzhong was 19 years old, and the daughter Yang Zhengguo was only 8 years old.
The first is the eldest son, Yang Zhengzhong.
Yang Zhengzhong was imprisoned when he was a child, and his body was very thin because of the long-term lack of sunlight. At that time, he was held hostage by two agents, one left and one right, and each inserted a sharp knife into his waist. There was only one scream of "Dad" in his mouth, and his voice suddenly stopped, and he fell to the ground, and the urn of his mother in his hand also fell.
At this time, Yang Hucheng heard his son's scream and quickly looked back, but the agent escorting him also stabbed the sharp knife into his abdomen. Later, these vicious gangsters used the same method to kill Yang Hucheng's daughter, as well as the Little Radish Head family. Yang Hucheng was imprisoned for a full 12 years, did not have enough to eat, clothe, and warmth, and was devastated, and finally killed by the enemy, so that the righteous people were treated in this way, which is really lamentable.
