The "Xi'an Incident" was a situation in which General Zhang Xueliang of the Northeast Army and General Yang Hucheng of the Northwest Army, feeling hopeless in repeatedly urging Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan and feeling hopeless, took the form of forcing Chiang Kai-shek to launch an anti-Japanese campaign.
As we all know, thanks to the efforts of the Communist Party, the "Xi'an Incident" was peacefully resolved, the Kuomintang and the Communists achieved the second cooperation, the anti-Japanese united front was formed, and the national war of resistance began.
In the articles on the "Xi'an Incident," there is little reference to the killing and death of senior generals and officers in the process of arresting and detaining Chiang Kai-shek and his entourage.
In fact, there was a very special member who was shot and killed in this incident.
This person's
What is special is that, first, his status is extremely special; he and Chiang Kai-shek are brothers of Jinlan, who are at a higher level than Chen Cheng, Jiang Dingwen, and Wei Lihuang, who accompanied Chiang Kai-shek to Xi'an to deploy "suppress bandits." He once served as acting chief executive and later took charge of propaganda work.
His special
Two
The reason is that he did not come to Xi'an with Chiang Kai-shek, but heard that Chiang Kai-shek had come to Xi'an to deploy "suppress bandits," and he came to advise Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan and abandon the policy of "suppressing bandits."
From this point of view, his purpose of coming to Xi'an is completely consistent with Zhang Yang's purpose, and it is the same thing that Zhang Yang did. However, it is a pity that he was shot and killed in the incident!
Shao Yuanchong
This person's name is Shao Yuanchong, who followed Sun Yat-sen's revolution in his early years, and after Chen Qimei was stabbed, he and Chiang Kai-shek were the two most important people of Sun Yat-sen, Wen had Shao Yuanchong, and Wu had Chiang Kai-shek, and the two cooperated very tacitly.
Shao Yuanchong and Chiang Kai-shek married Jinlan not in China, but in the Soviet Union. This was 1923, when Sun Yat-sen sent Chiang Kai-shek to lead a "delegation of Dr. Sun Yat-sen" to the Soviet Union to inspect party and military affairs; at that time, there were Shen Dingyi, Wang Dengyun, Zhang Tailei, and others in the delegation.
Sun Yat-sen sent Shao Yuanchong to the Soviet Union, but in fact, at this time, Shao Yuanchong was not in China, he was studying at the London School of Economics in the United Kingdom. After receiving Sun Yat-sen's order, he immediately rushed to the Soviet Union.
Under the coordination of Shao Yuanchong, several people finally agreed. Shao Yuanchong also helped Chiang Kai-shek draft the "Report on Touring Russia." This report won the trust of Sun Yat-sen even more.
During this time, Jiang Shao and Jiang Shao felt like-minded, and Chiang Kai-shek took the initiative to propose that they marry brothers with different surnames.
Since then, Shao Yuanchong has advised Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek has seized the highest power, and Shao Yuanchong's contribution is indispensable. Especially in the anti-communist aspect, the two conspired day and night and "agreed with each other," from the Zhongshan ship incident to the "April 12" to the "sorting out of party affairs cases," without Shao Yuanchong, Chiang Kai-shek would have been very difficult to achieve.
The differences between Shao Yuanchong and Chiang Kai-shek began with diplomacy with Japan. After the September 18 Incident, Japan's ambitions to invade China were already clearly revealed, but Chiang Kai-shek implemented a policy of non-resistance and ordered the signing of the "Tanggu Agreement" and the "He Mei Agreement," thus losing power and humiliating the country.

Shao Yuanchong was in charge of the nation's propaganda work, which contradicted Chiang Kai-shek's policies. He talked to Chiang Kai-shek many times and asked him to change the strategy of "taking the outside world before going inside" and resisting the Japanese aggressors, because he saw that the Japanese aggressors were insatiable, and the more they gave in, the more they had to advance.
However, Chiang Kai-shek not only did not accept these correct opinions of Shao Yuanchong, but was quite unhappy, and even ordered the banning of the "Minsheng Bao" and "Yishi Bao" that propagated the anti-Japanese resistance. Without speculating, Shao Yuanchong resigned in anger.
However, after resigning, Shao Yuanchong did not stop asking about the world, but ran to publicize the anti-Japanese resistance. At the end of November 1936, when he learned that Chiang Kai-shek had deployed a large-scale "suppression of bandits" in Xi'an, he immediately rushed to Xi'an and urged Chiang Kai-shek to abandon the "suppression of bandits" and turn the muzzle of the gun to achieve anti-Japanese resistance.
He could never have imagined that Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng would take a more radical approach than he did and give military advice to Chiang Kai-shek. If he had known this before, the tragedy would not have happened.

On December 12, Chiang Kai-shek was captured at Lishan Mountain in Lintong, and Shao Yuanchong, Chen Cheng, Jiang Dingwen, and Wei Lihuang, who were in Xi'an, were also arrested and detained at the Xijing Guest House.
Shao Yuanchong, who was detained, did not know the truth of the incident, and did not know Zhang Yang's intentions, and in a panic, he suddenly jumped out of the window and tried to escape over the wall, was shot by soldiers of the Seventeenth Route Army, and was immediately sent to the Shaanxi Provincial Hospital for rescue.
It is really a pity that the water washed away the Dragon King Temple, and Shao Yuanchong, who tried to resist Japan, was shot and killed by Yang Hucheng's subordinates who were advised to resist Japan!
What do you think about shao Yuanchong's rush to persuade Jiang to resist Japan and that he was shot and killed in the incident in which the soldiers forced Jiang to resist Japan?
