We will always know some historical celebrities because of some historical events, just like because of the Xi'an Incident, we know Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. People's curiosity about Zhang Xueliang extends from the events in the history books to the trivialities of Zhang Xueliang's life.
For example, Zhang Xueliang's warlord life, as well as him and his Miss Zhao Si, have become the focus of people's attention on him outside the Xi'an Incident. Of course, there are more people who don't know much about him, will you wonder why his life can be talked about?
Love power, love money, and be more patriotic
Zhang Xueliang was born in 1901, the father of the famous Fengzhi warlord Zhang Zuolin, and as Zhang Zuolin's eldest son, Zhang Xueliang received a strict education from his father from an early age.
In 1928, on June 4, Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese army in Huanggutun, Zhang Xueliang took over his father's burden, and the northeast became the rule of Zhang Xueliang, who was also known as the young marshal. A week after his father's death, Zhang Xueliang declared his obedience to the Nationalist government in Nanjing.
On July 1, Zhang Xueliang issued a telegram to the Kuomintang government entitled "Never Obstruct reunification", and China was formally unified. He was then appointed by the Nationalist government as deputy commander of the army, navy and air force, and commander of the northeast border defense. Although Zhang Xueliang is a warlord, he also deeply understands that only when the country is unified can there be a better future.
Even with a unified treaty with the Nanjing government, Zhang Xueliang would not completely obey the words of Chiang Kai-shek's government. In 1930, the Kuomintang government was full of smoke and smoke, and there were many parties, and the words of the leader Chiang Kai-shek were violated, and the possibility of the central power being hollowed out.
At this time, all parties were vying for Zhang Xueliang as an ally, after all, the Northeast Army was a big piece of fat. In the face of such a situation, on March 1, 1930, Zhang Xueliang published "Advising Jiang Yan to Fight for Electricity", expressing his position: The country is difficult, and non-interest disputes are not enough to survive. But in fact, Zhang Xueliang was a little biased toward Chiang Kai-shek.
It was not until August 30, 1930, that Zhang Xueliang felt that the time had come to send troops, and he returned to Shenyang, expressing his support for the central government in Nanjing, supporting the unified government, but not supporting all of Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy theories. Only when the country quickly realizes reunification and stops the civil war can peace and development be achieved in the northeast and even the whole country.
During this period, Zhang Xueliang had already understood that only the unification of the government and the state could the nation achieve real development. In 1931, the 918 Incident, which shocked China and foreign countries, broke out, and the Northeast Army's policy of non-resistance angered the people of the whole country, accusing and insulting Zhang Xueliang's inaction.
Under Chiang Kai-shek's "policy of non-resistance," even though the League of Nations asked the Japanese side to withdraw its troops, the Japanese army ignored it and continued to invade the central plains of our country. At this time, Zhang Xueliang had already seen through Japan's ambitions, and he also understood that if he wanted the country and the nation to be protected from invasion, no one could count on it, but only on his own.
However, the Chiang Kai-shek government's policy line of "taking the outside world must first be at home" made Zhang Xueliang realize that the possibility of Chiang Kai-shek taking the initiative and resisting Japan was too small. On December 12, 1936, the Xi'an Incident broke out. Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng forced Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan, released the imprisoned patriotic leaders, stopped the civil war, and unanimously went to the outside world.
Only because of the great disobedience of these two people in the world was it possible for the kmt and the Communist Party of China to achieve a second cooperation and to win victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan so quickly. In 1938, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng entered their own captive lives.
In 1990, Zhang Xueliang restored his free body, but at this time he was already in his old age, major general Zhang Xueliang's life seemed to be over, many historical events constituted his life trajectory, so what are the follow-ups to his story with Miss Zhao Si?
He had four sons and a daughter
Regarding Zhang Xueliang's love story, Miss Zhao Si had to pull it out and say something. Miss Zhao Si, called Zhao Yidi, is Zhang Xueliang's mistress, and the two also have an illegitimate son, called Zhang Lulin, but in the end, among Zhang Xueliang's children, only this illegitimate son has a good death.
None of the three sons born to him and his first wife, Yu Fengzhi, ended well, leaving only one daughter to grow up safely. The first to leave him was his youngest son, Zhang Luqi, who died in a conspiracy by the Japanese.
Zhang Luqi has always been very good, Zhang Xueliang also attaches great importance to this young son, but it seems that heaven is jealous of talents, Zhang Luqi was found to have tuberculosis, and some people around him suggested to Zhang Xueliang that Zhang Luqi go to Japan for treatment. Zhang Xueliang initially killed his father because of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and he was unwilling to send him to Japan for treatment with a deep hatred.
But for the sake of his son's health, Zhang Xueliang still sent his son to Japan. However, Zhang Luqi not only did not recover, but also died at the hands of the Japanese who killed his father. It turned out that it was an elaborate Japanese operation, and the Japanese agents put the bomb on the inspection machine, and just like that, his young son was killed.
Then there was his eldest son Zhang Luxun and his second son Zhang Luheng, the eldest son studying abroad, when he heard the news that his father was imprisoned and his mother's condition had deteriorated, he was very anxious, and the pressure in foreign countries for so many years took advantage of this incident to gush out all his brains and drive the eldest son crazy.
In order to take care of the eldest brother, the second son ran around, and with the help of his father's subordinates, they thought that they could finally be reunited with their mother, but who knew that in 1958, the second son Zhang Luheng had a car accident and passed away. The eldest son was diagnosed with leukemia, the medical conditions at that time, leukemia was a terminal illness, no medical treatment, and eventually passed away.
Illegitimate children will die well
The son Zhang Lulin, who was born to him and Zhao Yidi, was originally an illegitimate child, but in the eyes of people in that era, no queen was no filial piety, so this illegitimate son was written into the family tree and became a descendant of Zhang Xueliang.
And Zhang Xueliang's ex-wife Yu Fengzhi also did not care about Zhang Xueliang and his mistress, took the illegitimate son to the United States, carefully cultivated, and finally Zhang Lulin became an outstanding doctor of aerospace engineering, and won the National Science Prize in the United States.
Zhang Xueliang's heroic life is talked about by people, and even filmed into a film and television drama loop, but the desolation behind the hero, who can understand?
As a national hero, he was imprisoned for nearly sixty years, spending his youth in prison; as a father, he did not protect his children, watching them being killed by people with hearts and dying in a foreign country, but he could not do anything about it.
As a husband, he did not be loyal to his wife, but his wife did not resent him and still treated his children with Miss Zhao Si well. Fortunately and unfortunately, his story does end here. But in our hearts, Zhang Xuehao is always like the young marshal who dares to risk the world for the sake of the great righteousness of the nation.
brief summary:
A person's life is plagued by a question: Why live? Some people are for fame and fortune, some people are for the realization of grand ambitions, and some people are for the country to lead the way.
It is precisely because Zhang Xue has a country in his conscience, is willing to serve the country, and is a pioneer that he has become our national hero, even if he has been imprisoned for several years, he has become a wolf, not a hero of that year, but he is indeed eternal and irreplaceable in our hearts, the young marshal - Zhang Xueliang.
