On December 12, 1936, Chiang Kai-shek came to Xi'an with a group of Kuomintang military and political leaders for the sole purpose of forcing Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to immediately wage war against the Red Army in northern Shaanxi and eliminate the exhausted Red Army that had just completed the Long March. However, what Chiang Kai-shek never expected was that Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng not only did not carry out his orders, but instead imprisoned him by force, and Chiang Kai-shek hated and angry, consciously suffered the greatest humiliation in his life, and almost shot himself.
So, where is Dai Kasa, who is the "Sword of Chiang Kai-shek", at this time, and what is he doing?
At this time, Dai Kasa was guarding a secret radio station in Nanjing, but today Dai Kasa felt very strange, after Chiang Kai-shek went to Xi'an, the secret radio station set up by xi'an had no news at all, and he had a bad premonition, but there was no evidence to prove that there was a problem there.
Just when Dai Kasa was extremely anxious, Song Meiling hurried over to see him, and Song Meiling said to Dai Kasa, "The chairman of the committee has an accident, how should I deal with it?" Dai Kasa was shocked at first, and then he asked Song Meiling what was going on? It turned out that dai Kasa did not know that Chiang Kai-shek had been detained in Xi'an at this time, and Song Meiling told Dai Kasa the origin of the matter, and at the same time criticized Dai Kasa for doing too poor a job as a secret agent.

Getting this news, for Dai Kasa, is tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Dai Kasa can go from a socially undesirable youth to a figure of real power in the Kuomintang, all by relying on Chiang Kai-shek's trust, if Chiang Kai-shek really has a problem, he will certainly not have a good result, thinking of this Dai Kasa becomes restless, he has never been like this before.
Dai Kasa, who had lost his opinion, quickly summoned zheng Jiemin, Liang Ganqiao, and others under his command to a meeting, but when it came to going, after a morning, several people still did not have a good plan, so anxious that Dai Kasa almost found a jianghu master and went to rescue Chiang Kai-shek through the way of flying cornices.
Differences also arose within the high-ranking Kuomintang officials, and the main war faction represented by He Yingqin and the main peace faction represented by Song Meiling and Song Ziwen were endlessly arguing. Dai Kasa knew very well that once He Yingqin led troops to attack Xi'an, then chiang kai-shek's life safety would certainly not be guaranteed, and the reason why He Yingqin was so active in starting the war was to replace Chiang Kai-shek's position in the Kuomintang by means of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's hands. Of course, Dai Kasa did not praise the war against Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng.
Song Meiling and Song Ziwen were preparing to take a special plane to Xi'an to visit Chiang Kai-shek, and Dai Kasa also wanted to follow, but he was worried that his status as a secret agent would cause disgust on the Xi'an side and his own life safety would not be guaranteed, so Dai Kasa hesitated and walked back and forth in the room. Just when he was at a loss, he thought of his friend Hu Zongnan.
Mr. and Mrs. Hu Zongnan
Dai Kasa went to Hu Zongnan to express his anxiety, and Hu Zongnan confidently told Dai Kasa that "the reason why Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a mutiny was to force the chairman of the committee to resist Japan, not against the chairman himself, so whether xi'an matter can be resolved peacefully is in the hands of the chairman of the committee." If the chairman of the committee really dies, the country will be in chaos, and Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng will not only fail to achieve the goal of resisting Japan, but will become sinners for eternity, so I conclude that the chairman of the committee must be safe, and other people, including you, are definitely safe."
Hearing Hu Zongnan's analysis, Dai Kasa felt much more comfortable and strengthened his idea of following Song Meiling to Xi'an. In addition to meeting Hu Zongnan, Dai Jia also met a special person before going to Xi'an, this person was Guo Zengkai. He had advocated the anti-Japanese resistance and was imprisoned in a cell by Chiang Kai-shek at the time. This person has a very close relationship with Zhang Xueliang, and Dai Kasa wants to understand Zhang Xueliang's next plan through Guo Zengkai.
Guo Zengkai bluntly said to Dai Kasa, "Don't think too far about this matter, the Xi'an case belongs to politics, the safety of the chairman of the committee is no problem, he has today's accident, it is not unexpected." Dai Kasa listened to Guo Zengkai's analysis, and his confidence increased a lot, and he had already made up his mind to visit Chiang Kai-shek in Xi'an.
Even after listening to the opinions of so many people, Dai Kasa still made the worst plan. He returned home at night to visit his old mother Lan Shi, and when he met, he was on his knees and crying, and his mother was overwhelmed to ask why, and Dai Kasa told her. Unexpectedly, my mother not only did not worry, but also comforted Dai Kasa to do her own thing, and don't worry about things at home. Dai Kasa also arranged for his wife Mao to return to the countryside with his old mother and son Dai Zangyi as soon as he had an accident in Xi'an.
After making all the arrangements, Dai Kasa went to Xi'an with Song Meiling the next day, and as he expected, as soon as they got off the plane, Dai Kasa was detained by Zhang Xueliang and locked up in the basement, only allowing Soong Meiling to go to see Chiang Kai-shek.
Later, Dai Kasa went to great lengths to plead with Zhang Xueliang, and Zhang Xueliang agreed to let Dai See Chiang Kai-shek. Dai Kasa was very excited at that time, and prepared countless opening remarks in his heart, but when he really saw Chiang Kai-shek, he didn't say a word, but Chiang Kai-shek broke out when he saw Dai Kasa and scolded ,"Niang Xipi!" You didn't come when you should have come, so what are you here for now? Get me out..." Dai Kasa was so frightened that he was overwhelmed and had to retreat to the door and wait.
Later things were known, the "Xi'an Incident" was peacefully resolved, Chiang Kai-shek's anger was also dissipated, and he also knew that he could not blame Dai Kasa for this matter, but was touched by Dai Kasa's spirit of daring to enter the tiger's den, and from then on he was even more serious about Dai Kasa.
