During the reign of the Republic of China, Zhang Xueliang, who was known as one of the four princes of the Republic of China, was one of the most influential figures. He can be seen both in the 918 Incident and the Xi'an Incident, in which he is a less positive figure, because his policy of non-resistance led to the easy occupation of china's three eastern provinces by the Japanese army. As for joining forces with Yang Hucheng to force the old Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan in the latter, to provide more favorable conditions for the anti-Japanese resistance, many people changed their views on him and called him a famous patriotic general.
Zhang Xueliang experienced many dangers in his life, and the closest to death occurred in 1926. At the critical moment, Jiang Huanan, as his personal bodyguard, directly protected Zhang Xueliang with his own life, and he unfortunately died. When Zhang Xueliang, who was a young marshal at that time, turned the crisis into safety, he was greatly moved, and not only held a very solemn funeral for him, but also sent someone to build an ancestral hall for him to express his life-saving feelings.
Jiang Huanan was born in Pear Tree, Jilin Province, his father died very early, and his mother raised him alone. Later, he was admitted to the Baoding Military Academy with outstanding performance, and after graduation, he directly served as a staff officer under Guo Songling. When Guo Songling saw him, he felt that this person was a brave and resourceful talent, and directly recommended him to Zhang Xueliang. It only took him a few years of hard work to climb from an ordinary staff officer to the position of captain of Zhang Xueliang's guard step by step, and he also served as the chief of the adjutant division of the Third and Fourth Fronts Corps. From this, it can be seen that Jiang Huanan was deeply trusted by Zhang Xueliang at that time.
Later, when the Fourteenth Army of the Fengzhi Cavalry entered the pass to fight against the army led by Feng Yu, it seriously violated military discipline and military regulations, which directly caused the local people to boil with anger. When Zhang Zuolin learned of this situation, he was furious and directly sent Zhang Xueliang to lead the troops to properly rectify and rectify this unit. At this time, one of the division commanders in the Fourteenth Army named Wang Yongqing was a bandit leader, and when he learned that Zhang Xueliang was coming to hand over their weapons and rectify military discipline. Worried that the bad things he had done here would be discovered, he was ready to send someone to the stop of Zhang Xueliang's train in advance, and wait until he came down and shot him directly.
What he didn't expect was that when Zhang Xueliang was about to arrive at the platform and prepare to get off, Jiang Hua, as the captain of the guard, noticed that the atmosphere at the platform was not right. He directly chose to stop Zhang Xueliang and prepared to get off the train instead of him. At this time, Zhang Xueliang also sensed that the situation was not right, and directly acquiesced to Jiang Huanan's behavior. When he walked down from the station, the pre-ambush gunman mistaken him for Zhang Xueliang, directly saying that the gun directly hit Jiang Huanan's temple, and he fell to the ground and died.
Faced with such an unexpected situation, the soldiers brought by Zhang Xueliang under his command directly launched a counterattack against the ambushed people outside, and finally successfully dispersed the rebels. As for Wang Yongqing, the leader, he and others were directly arrested, and the Fourteenth Army of Fengzhi Cavalry was also dismissed. If he had not sensed the danger and stepped forward, it is estimated that Zhang Xueliang would have died under such circumstances.
