Martyrdom with one's body is not great!
After the incident on December 12, 1936, the two main characters changed their lives because of this incident, but it was a completely different life. I don't know whether it was because of the former brothers who worshiped the shoguns, or because of Lady Jiang, the old Jiang still treated Zhang Xueliang favorably. With special servants, cooks, not to mention, even the places where they live are specially selected, most of them are hidden but scenic places. For example, Xuedou Mountain and Tongzi Xiaoxi Lake, for him specially repaired the house, as well as fresh facilities.
When bored, it is allowed to go out to see the scenery, and if you don't go out, you can also play tennis and fish nearby, of which tennis rackets are still bought from abroad. In the early stage, yu Fengzhi and Miss Zhao Si accompanied him, and later Yu Fengzhi went to the United States to treat and develop, and there was also Zhao Si who did not give up. In addition, he can make requests, as long as they are not excessive, and they can basically be met. According to the old Jiang before his death, in Zhang Xueliang's body, one year is enough to spend a regiment.
In addition to the restriction of personal freedom, Zhang Xueliang's life was actually good. Yang Hucheng was completely different, the last twelve years of his life were worse than death, and he was miserable. After that incident, Yang Hucheng lost control of the Northwest Army and was first forced to go abroad to investigate. After the July 7 Incident, the patriotic man asked to return to China to fight the war, but was rejected. In December 1937, he secretly returned to China to prepare for the War of Resistance.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Nanchang, he was arrested, followed by twelve years of seclusion. His wife, Xie Baozhen, was also one of those imprisoned with him, and the two met during the Northern Expedition and married in January 1928. Since his marriage, Xie Baozhen has basically never left Yang Hucheng and followed him around to fight. He also handles some social and social activities, and gives birth to two sons and five daughters, the youngest of whom, Zheng Gui, was born in 1941.
Born in prison, she suffered a lot, lived in a dark, cold environment, and was a friend of the little radish head. Even so, the husband and wife did not give up, looking forward to a day of freedom. Xie Baozhen insisted on reading newspapers, writing, and teaching savings to read, but he had no choice but to limit the environment. After giving birth to her daughter, Zheng gui, she was very weak, but she did not receive any care. The environment was very poor, and it did not get good nutrition, which was later mentioned in the memoirs of Shen Drunk and Secret Agent Zhou Yanghao.
Over time, Xie Baozhen, who did not get good care after giving birth to a child and lived in a bad environment, became ill. However, the agents did not care about her illness, and they also intended to stimulate her mentally and completely isolate her from General Yang. At the end of November 1946, after being transferred to Yangjiashan in Chongqing, Xie Baozhen, who could not bear the torture, began a hunger strike. The hunger strike failed and swallowed gold, and after rescue and escape, he went on a hunger strike again after waking up. Tossing until February 8, 1947, Xie Baozhen died with hatred, even such a tough person could not stand it, but you can imagine the harsh environment at that time.
I thought I would be able to get my freedom one day, but I didn't expect it to be September 6, 1949. On the eve of abandoning Chongqing, Mao Renfeng received orders to kill Yang Hucheng and Song Qiyun and eight of them. In order to cover up, the location was also specially picked at the Dai Gong Ancestral Hall, and Yang Hucheng was aware of it before going up the mountain. But there was no way to escape, and the eight people were ruthlessly killed by the enemy, and even the eight-year-old Yang Zhenggui and Xiao Radish Head could not escape the disaster.
