What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
In the last century, there was a War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which was deeply hated by everyone, in which the soldiers and civilians of our country paid a heavy price. At first, the two parties did not fight against the Japanese army together, but later the Nationalist army agreed to fight the Japanese army together with the Eighth Route Army, or because of a famous historical event, that is, the Double Twelve Incident, that is, the Xi'an Incident. After this incident, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to agree to join other anti-Japanese forces.
As everyone knows, the main people who launched this incident were Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, and after the incident, both of them were punished accordingly, presumably because Chiang Kai-shek was very vengeful. After this, Yang Hucheng and his family were secretly executed, and Zhang Xueliang, although not executed, was also trapped in Taiwan for decades, until he was released in the 90s of the last century, after which he went to the United States, and he was not able to return to China until his death.
In fact, in this incident, it was not General Zhang and General Yang who personally captured Chiang Kai-shek, but an ordinary officer, whose name was Liu Duoquan. Presumably, after seeing Zhang and Yang's fate, everyone will think that the ending of this ordinary officer will not be too good. But everyone was mistaken, and this officer was promoted by Chiang Kai-shek after the incident and became a senior officer. So what was the reason why Chiang Kai-shek, who was so fond of revenge, finally let go of this officer and promoted him.
The reason is actually very easy to understand, because this officer is also one of the members of the Northeast Army, and after the Northeast Army lost Zhang Xueliang, a leading figure, because of liu Duoquan's existence, it was impossible to unite the Northeast Army, which was undoubtedly a very good thing for Chiang Kai-shek, and it was also a result that he was very happy to see. Naturally, this ordinary officer will be valued.
