When the Chinese nation was invaded by the Japanese army and fell into danger, it abandoned the great national righteousness
Chiang Kai-shek
He is still insisting on a civil war that has brought calamity to the country and the people.
As a result, China is in danger.
In the autumn of the survival of the nation,
Chang
In order to force Chiang Kai-shek to unite with the Communists to resist Japan, Yu
On December 12, 1936, he and Yang Hucheng resolutely sent troops to put Chiang Kai-shek under house arrest
, launched a shock at home and abroad
"Xi'an Incident"
。
Chiang Kai-shek was forced to stop the civil war and unite with the Communists to resist Japan.
It can be said that the Chinese nation can unite the front,
and
Yang Hucheng
They are giants of history and heroes of China!
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng
Sadly, however, they were not treated heroically, and Chiang Kai-shek quickly ordered them
Put Yang Hucheng's family to death
，
Zhang Xueliang was also imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek for half a lifetime, paying the price of freedom.
Chiang Kai-shek, who could betray the great national righteousness for the sake of power and self-interest, is well known for his narrow temperament.
So why didn't Chiang Kai-shek, who killed Yang Hucheng's family, kill Zhang Xueliang? Is it because of the unclear relationship between Zhang Xueliang and Jiang's wife Song Meiling?
The curator of this video takes everyone to talk about this matter, interested friends can click on the attention, not only can review the past wonderful, but also will not miss the latest content.
Behind Jiang Zhang: The woman who is left and right
A lot of people just know
Soong Mei Ling was Chiang Kai-shek's wife
Son, but he did not know that Chiang Kai-shek had already had it before marrying Soong Mei-ling
Three wives
。 I don't know if Song Meiling may have long been devoted to another man before marrying Chiang Kai-shek.
Zhang Xueliang, Song Meiling
In the autumn of 1926, when Guangzhou was rarely raining and sunny, Chiang Kai-shek met Soong Mei-ling for the first time here and fell in love with him. Song Meiling is a beautiful woman with a good figure, a charming appearance, and a temperament. Plus Song Meiling
Studied in the United States
Have a prominent home
, or famous during the Republic of China period
Socialites
So it was normal for Chiang Kai-shek to fall in love with her at first sight.
But Chiang Kai-shek's fault lies in the lack of responsibility and responsibility, in order to pursue Soong Mei-ling, Chiang Kai-shek took his wife at the time
Chen Jieru
Cheated abroad, and never saw Chen Jieru again. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek had abandoned it one after another
Mao Fumei, Yao Zhicheng
Three wives. This had to make people wonder, and later Soong Mei-ling agreed to marry Chiang Kai-shek, was it really because of love? Will Song Meiling really fall in love with a man who has no national righteousness, no responsibility and responsibility? The answer is obvious, perhaps Song Meiling married not love at all, but married to family interests and married to Jiangshan.
Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru
As early as a year before Soong Meiling knew Chiang Kai-shek, she had already met another man in Shanghai. Compared with Chiang Kai-shek, this man is more gentlemanly, more handsome, more responsible and responsible. This man was at the time
Zhang Xueliang, one of the four beautiful men of the Republic of China
In 1925, when the Northeast Army first arrived in Shanghai, Zhang Xueliang met Song Meiling here.
At that time, Song Meiling had just returned from studying in the United States, and she had come into contact with a lot of advanced ideas, perhaps for love, at that time, she still had very good expectations. It was during this period that Song Meiling and Zhang Xueliang met, and the two were quickly attracted to each other and became acquainted.
Zhang Xueliang also studied abroad, so the two people have many common hobbies, for example
They all like to paint and are familiar with various Western etiquette
Not to mention whether Western etiquette is applicable in China, in short, Zhang Xueliang and Song Meiling have endless words together, they often chat until late at night, and even blink their eyes and do not know at all.
Song Meiling
Of course, the interaction between the two has always been initiated by Zhang Xueliang.
Like Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Xueliang took a fancy to this beautiful woman at a glance, tried his best to get her phone number, and asked her to come out to chat, watch movies, and dance.
There are also rumors that Song Meiling once went to Zhang Xueliang's home alone.
Although Zhang Xueliang has not admitted this matter, there is no doubt that
Zhang Xueliang was in love with Song Meiling.
In his later years, Zhang Xueliang recalled,
If I hadn't already had a wife at that time, then I would have chased After Song Meiling.
From this point of view, Zhang Xueliang has more family responsibility than Chiang Kai-shek, although he will also be infatuated with beautiful women, but Zhang Xueliang has a bottom line, and will not abandon his wife.
Looking at Soong Mei Ling, although she later married Chiang Kai-shek, the reason may be more because
Family interests
。 In her heart, she has always left a place for Zhang Xueliang.
Soong Mei Ling and Chiang Kai-shek
If it were not for Soong Mei-ling's repeated insistence, would Zhang Xueliang have been able to spend the rest of his life safely in Chiang Kai-shek's captivity?
Although he lost his freedom in this half of his life, he was alive.
Compared with Yang Hucheng, who died at the hands of Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Xueliang was lucky enough. It can be said that his goddess of luck is Song Meiling, a woman who makes many men dream of but has always been biased towards him.
After the Xi'an Incident, Song Meiling personally promised Zhang Xueliang,
As long as Chiang Kai-shek can return to Nanjing safely, then she will definitely ensure Zhang Xueliang's safety, and the previous events can be blamed for the past.
But Chiang Kai-shek, who was blind and sure to repay, had no faith, and he sent people as soon as he got off the plane
Zhang Xueliang was arrested and sentenced to prison.
Looking at Zhang Xueliang, who was imprisoned, Song Meiling was very unhappy in her heart. She knew that she had lost faith in Zhang, plus the relationship between the Song family and the Zhang family had always been very good, so
Soong Mei Ling put a lot of pressure on Chiang Kai-shek, even
Threaten Chiang Kai-shek
If he dared to kill Zhang Xueliang, then he would shake out all the things that Chiang Kai-shek had done.
Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling
Although he was helpless, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to compromise. He did not kill Zhang Xueliang, but imprisoned Zhang Xueliang, leaving him trapped in a small world for the rest of his life, and he could no longer do anything except live.
In his later years, Zhang Xueliang once said bluntly,
He was ready to die at the time of the Xi'an Incident.
Zhang Xueliang knew very well that Chiang Kai-shek, a man who was blind and sure to repay him, must have wanted to kill him.
The biggest reason why Chiang Kai-shek did not act was that
Song Meiling's protection.
The U.S. envoy to China also wrote in his diary,
In order to protect Zhang Xueliang, Song Meiling also had a big fight with Chiang Kai-shek.
Perhaps until Chiang Kai-shek's death, he could not let go of the relationship between Zhang Xueliang and Soong Mei-ling. From this point of view, Chiang Kai-shek's life was an extreme failure.
He lost the country, lost the hearts of the people, and even failed to have true love in his life.
And we look back
Until the end of their lives, the two of them still maintained a kind of one with each other
A connection that ends with affection and ends with courtesy
。 Zhang Xueliang once said after Chiang Kai-shek's death,
Mrs. Song Meiling is his protector.
After Zhang Xueliang's death in 2001, Song Meiling, who was in the United States, was heartbroken and bitter. She cried for days in a row, and more than once she said guiltily:
I'm sorry For Han Qing, if it wasn't for me, how could he end up like this.
It is not difficult to see from these words of Song Meiling, perhaps
These two men who once influenced the history of China,
Because of Song Meiling, a woman, she changed the trajectory of her destiny to a certain extent.
Perhaps the changes in the whole of China have also undergone invisible changes due to Song Meiling.
Old photos of the Xi'an incident
Of course, no matter how history changes, Chiang Kai-shek's defeat is doomed, because he is too inferior to shoulder the responsibilities of China's leaders. The end of the Communist Party of China's founding of a new China is also predestined.
And Zhang Xueliang's greatest contribution to it is to launch
Xi'an Incident
This has accelerated the glorious journey of new China's independence and towards a strong future.
Is there another reason why Jiang didn't kill Zhang?
There is no doubt that Song Meiling has made a lot of efforts to save Zhang Xueliang. She also keeps a secret that belongs only to the two of them:
That was when Song Meiling first saw Zhang Xueliang, and Zhang Xueliang praised her
"Beautiful And Heavenly"
, and she called Zhang Xueliang
"Knights of the Rhine"
This secret was only announced by Soong Mei Ling in her later years, and I wonder what kind of reaction Chiang Kai-shek would have had heard this news before his death. It is not difficult to guess that Chiang Kai-shek must have wanted to kill Zhang Xueliang and get rid of him quickly.
Unfortunately, due to the pressure of Soong Mei-ling, Chiang Kai-shek could not do this.
In fact, even if Soong Meiling did not exert pressure, Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to rush to kill Zhang Xueliang.
Unless he's got everything in order and prepared for everything. If zhang Xueliang is to be killed, the first problem facing Chiang Kai-shek is that
Zhang Xueliang was his brother-in-law, and if he killed his brother, how would he deal with his moral notoriety?
Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek
Chiang Kai-shek was one
Old-fashioned Chinese
No matter how much loyalty and righteousness are left in the mind, at least the face must be hung up. What's more, Zhang Xueliang is still a person who has been kind to him.
On March 15, 1930, 57 local warlords and generals in China jointly petitioned Chiang Kai-shek, and the two sides launched a huge Central Plains War in the Central Plains centered on Henan. The battle lasted for 7 months, and the two sides invested more than 1 million troops, and the fight was very sticky, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. If this war is lost, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to Chiang Kai-shek.
At this critical juncture, Zhang Xueliang sent troops to the Central Plains to help Chiang Kai-shek solve the Central Plains War. Chiang Kai-shek was so grateful to Zhang Xueliang that he personally led a team to welcome Zhang Xueliang to Nanjing, and appointed Zhang Xueliang as deputy commander of the Republic of China's army, navy and air force.
After that, the two worshiped the heavens and formed a marriage
Brothers with different surnames
If Chiang Kai-shek killed this brother after the Xi'an Incident, how could he maintain his reputation in the eyes of the Chinese people? Although Chiang Kai-shek's reputation has not been very good.
In addition, Zhang Xueliang also had a number of old subordinates who controlled the main army in the northeast and were in the northeast
Do everything possible to rescue Zhang Xueliang
However, because Chiang Kai-shek was strong and foreign enemies and the Japanese army were looking at him, Zhang Xueliang's old subordinates did not send troops to rescue him, but hoped to pass
lobby
In this way, Zhang Xueliang regained his freedom.
But Chiang Kai-shek hated him so much, how could he let him go?
Chiang Kai-shek persisted in imprisoning Zhang Xueliang under pressure,
But at the same time, these pressures also made him dare not kill Zhang Xueliang
Otherwise, if a rebellion broke out in the Northeast Army, it would pose a great threat to Chiang Kai-shek.
In all the pressure that Chiang Kai-shek has undertaken,
Pressure from our party
It is also crucial. Zhang Xueliang launched
Promote the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to resist Japan
His behavior has been highly affirmed by our party. Premier Zhou even commented on Zhang Xueliang.com
Heroes through the ages
。 Chiang Kai-shek's killing of Yang Hucheng's family has already aroused the wrath of the public, and if he dares to kill Zhang Xueliang again, it will not only be the Northeast Army, not only our party, who will be angered.
There was also a deep hatred for Japanese devils at that time
All Chinese people
Zhang Xueliang is
For the cause of anti-Japanese resistance
The Xi'an Incident was only launched
If Chiang Kai-shek still had a little patriotic heart, and if he still cared about the strong voice of the people of the whole country to resist Japan, he could not kill Zhang Xueliang. In addition to external pressure,
There were also many officials in the Kuomintang who had good relations with Zhang Xueliang
and pleaded for him more than once.
At that time, Zhang Xueliang was tried
Li Liejun
He persuaded Chiang Kai-shek,
"Forgiveness and forgiveness."
Li Liejun was a veteran figure of the Kuomintang, and his words still carried a lot of weight. Chiang Kai-shek must make a retreat, and his retreat is a guarantee not to kill Zhang Xueliang.
It is said that although Zhang Xueliang launched the Xi'an Incident, he never had the intention of killing Chiang Kai-shek.
Zhang Xueliang's purpose is very clear, that is
Forcing Chiang Kai-shek to unite with the Communists to resist Japan
And once he killed Chiang Kai-shek, the Kuomintang was likely to fall into it
A chaotic battle for power and profit
This is not good for the cause of anti-Japanese resistance.
Therefore, during Zhang Xueliang's house arrest with Chiang Kai-shek, instead of embarrassing him, he did
Personally placed his own guards around Chiang Kai-shek to protect his safety.
Perhaps Zhang Xueliang's approach slightly touched Chiang Kai-shek's narrow and stubborn heart, which also became one of the reasons why Chiang Kai-shek did not kill Zhang Xueliang.
Later, some people said that Chiang Kai-shek spared Zhang Xueliang's life because he had the capacity to tolerate people.
In the eyes of these people, Chiang Kai-shek was very generous to Zhang Xueliang.
He saw that Zhang Xueliang was young and his political consciousness was immature
For his part, he forgave Zhang Xueliang's deeds.
And Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin, the father of Zhang, died at the hands of the Japanese
Chiang Kai-shek could understand Zhang Xueliang's anti-Japanese sentiments.
Of course, this statement is a bit outrageous.
If Chiang Kai-shek had the capacity to tolerate people, why did he kill Yang Hucheng? He killed Yang Hucheng not even counted, even
Brutally killed Yang Hucheng's family.
It can be seen from this that Chiang Kai-shek has no strength, and if he really understands Zhang Xueliang's anti-Japanese sentiments, why should he be imprisoned? At that time, when the Japanese army invaded China and the whole people resisted Japan, wouldn't it be better to let Zhang Xueliang go out to resist Japan?
At home, Chiang Kai-shek abandoned three wives successively, without any responsibility. In the country, Chiang Kai-shek disregarded the interests of the state for his own selfish interests and betrayed the great national righteousness.
Why does such a person rule me in greater China? Chiang Kai-shek's defeat was doomed, and even without the Xi'an Incident that Zhang Xueliang had launched, Chiang Kai-shek had no chance of success.
Chiang Kai-shek in his later years
But it is clear that Chiang Kai-shek did not realize this at all. The Xi'an Incident has already occurred, what is the significance of Chiang Kai-shek's imprisonment of Zhang Xueliang? This would do no good except to make him bear some more infamy.
This issue of the article ends here, I don't know in the eyes of all the audience friends, what is the most fundamental reason why Chiang Kai-shek did not kill Zhang Xueliang?
