In 1975, Chiang Kai-shek died of illness in Taipei, and Zhang Xueliang was still under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek's funeral.
Zhang Xueliang appeared unexpectedly, and without a word, he gave a pair of hand-written letters and then turned to leave, and the 16 words on the link made Chiang Ching-kuo even more shocked and cold sweat after reading it!
Then, zhang Xueliang was in a state of house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek, so why did he have to attend Chiang Kai-shek's funeral? What exactly did he write on the link that surprised Chiang Ching-kuo so much?
Today, we will follow the contents of this issue and go together to understand it.
In 1936, the Xi'an Incident broke out, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, in order to force Chiang Kai-shek to stop the civil war and unanimously go to the outside world, so as to consult Chiang Kai-shek and control it, but then the matter was resolved peacefully, and Chiang Kai-shek returned to Nanjing without any danger.
At that time, many people dissuaded Zhang Xueliang from randomly escorting him, but Zhang Xueliang, in order to confirm to the outside world, was only for the purpose of jointly saving the country, not for the purpose of usurping military power, and at the same time, it was also out of an apology for Chiang Kai-shek's disrespect, so Zhang Xueliang insisted on going with him, and as a result, he did not want to arrive in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek was safe, but Zhang Xueliang was detained by Chiang Kai-shek and began his 54-year house arrest.
In fact, before that, the relationship between Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek was extremely friendly, and Zhang Xueliang had always been extremely obedient to Chiang Kai-shek.
Things have to start from 1928, in June of that year, the "Huanggutun" incident broke out, Zhang Xueliang's father, Zhang Zuolin, who had always controlled the northeast land, was retaliated by the Japanese army because of his resolute anti-Japanese attitude, and was bombed and killed.
However, just as Chiang Kai-shek was preparing for the Second Northern Expedition and taking the northeast in one fell swoop, Zhang Xueliang surrendered his hand, changed the banner, and took the initiative to submit to the Nationalist government led by Chiang Kai-shek.
The reason was that the situation in the northeast at that time was also very embarrassing, there were Japanese invasions outside, there were warlords fighting inside, Chiang Kai-shek had been trying to move, and cutting off Japan was a resolute and impossible thing for Zhang Xueliang, because from beginning to end he insisted on a resolute anti-Japanese attitude, of course, he could also insist on the independence of the northeast and oppose the National Government, but the result of this was that it was inevitable to trigger a civil war and hurt the innocent.
Therefore, after much thought, Zhang Xueliang changed his banner and changed his banner and submitted to the Nationalist government led by Chiang Kai-shek; for Zhang Xueliang, he thought twice about the overall situation, but for Chiang Kai-shek, it invisibly helped him, allowing him to recover the northeast without spending a single shot and achieve the apparent unification at that time, but the struggle between the warlords of various factions within Chiang Kai-shek never stopped, so there was the later Central Plains War.
The Great War in the Central Plains can be said to be a major reorganization of Chiang Kai-shek's internal affairs, he wanted to consolidate his position and reduce the strength of other warlords of various departments, at the beginning of this war, Zhang Xueliang has always been in a bystander attitude, because for Zhang Xueliang, he has always hoped for internal peace, but the war has begun, casualties and attrition have already occurred, it is better to sit and wait for a really powerful person to complete the real reunification.
In this way, Chiang Kai-shek once again had the upper hand, so at the critical moment when the war was carried out in the later stages, Zhang Xueliangcai gave help under Chiang Kai-shek's request for help, not only repeatedly supplying grain and grass, but also personally leading the Northeast Army to join the battle.
I have to say that in the Central Plains War, Zhang Xueliang spared no effort to help Chiang Kai-shek, which made Chiang Kai-shek very grateful to Zhang Xueliang, and at the same time, the relationship between the two became closer, and even became brothers.
But it was also the Battle of the Central Plains that made Zhang Xueliang bear the insult of 'not resisting the general', because of the Central Plains War, Zhang Xueliang mobilized all his forces to support Chiang Kai-shek, and as a result, because he did not return to the defense in time, the troops in the three northeastern provinces were vacant, which allowed the Japanese army to find an opportunity to take advantage of, and the September 18 Incident occurred.
However, in the face of the Japanese invasion, Zhang Xueliang asked Chiang Kai-shek about his attitude, but Chiang Kai-shek repeatedly asked him to avoid conflict and not resist, because in Chiang Kai-shek's political views, he had always stubbornly adhered to the perception that the country would be destroyed in three days of the War of Resistance.
Therefore, the people of northeast China have experienced more than ten years of torture, so that it has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Chinese people, and the voices of accusations have risen one after another, and Chiang Kai-shek has begun to realize the seriousness of the problem, once again suggesting that Zhang Xueliang is carrying the pot for himself, and Zhang Xueliang has also fallen into the insult of not resisting.
Judging from several major events in this period, Zhang Xueliang was indeed benevolent to Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek was also very close and friendly to Zhang Xueliang, but Chiang Kai-shek's attitude of preferring civil war not to resist Japan was unacceptable to Zhang Xueliang; after all, no matter what, Zhang Xueliang changed the banner at the beginning, or the help of the Central Plains War later, and the humiliation of the September 18 incident, the purpose of which was to reunify our country and resist foreign enemies, but Chiang Kai-shek's attitude made Zhang Xueliang very dissatisfied.
Therefore, there was the Xi'an Incident in the later period, in order to force Chiang Kai-shek to stop the civil war and unanimously to the outside world, Zhang Xueliang made an disrespectful and disrespectful military incident against Chiang Kai-shek for the first time, although this matter was finally resolved peacefully and became a turning point from the civil war to the anti-Japanese national war, but Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek for a lifetime.
In fact, Zhang Xueliang could have escaped a disaster, but at that time, in order to prove to the outside world that he did not want to seek power and usurp the throne, but also to apologize to Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Xueliang personally escorted Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing despite dissuasion, but did not want to be controlled by personal freedom just after arriving in Nanjing.
Even when Chiang Kai-shek died, he specifically confessed that Chiang Ching-kuo could not release Zhang Xueliang, so it was not until Chiang Ching-kuo's death in 1988 that Zhang Xueliang regained his freedom.
However, even in the case of being kind to Chiang Kai-shek but being placed under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek for almost life, Zhang Xueliang still went to Chiang Kai-shek's funeral and personally sent a handwritten letter of the link, and the 16 words on the link also made Chiang Ching-kuo break out in a cold sweat.
It is said that judging from Zhang Xueliang's enmity and resentment with Chiang Kai-shek, as well as his situation of almost being imprisoned for life, Zhang Xueliang naturally should hate Chiang Kai-shek.
However, he could not help but personally attend Chiang Kai-shek's funeral, and also left such a sentence on the link: "The care is earnest, the love is the same flesh and blood; the dispute between political views is like a vendetta."
What kind of mind and temperament is this? What kind of intellect and objectivity is this? And this sentence is also a summary and definition of Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek's lifelong grudges. It can be seen from this that although Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned for a lifetime, he has always been very objective and tolerant of his relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, so even in the eyes of Chiang Ching-kuo, who has gone through great winds and waves, he can't help but break out in a cold sweat, after all, Zhang Xueliang's calm and self-reliance, mastery of reason, is not something that ordinary people can do.
