In 1936, in order to force Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan, Zhang Xueliang launched a "military advisory" to detain Chiang Kai-shek and create the Xi'an Incident.
(Zhang Xueliang)
After the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned. Zhang Xuesi ran around to rescue his eldest brother.
Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek in the Xuedou Temple villa in Fenghua Xikou Town, Ningbo, and Chiang Kai-shek made him repent of his studies and sent an old gentleman from the Qing Dynasty who was born with a talented background to teach him the Analects and the Zhongyong.
Zhang Xueliang was so angry that he slept in class or chatted with the secret agent, and even played mahjong during the class, and within a few days he had taken the old man away.
After Zhang Xuesi arrived at the place where his brother was imprisoned, he stayed in the villa where Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned that night. At that time, in the nearby Xuedou Temple, there were more than 30 military command agents and a company of armed gendarmes, and the leader of the secret agent was Liu Yiguang.
Liu Yiguang looked gentle on the outside, but in fact he was very strict with his subordinates, and when he was the captain of Chiang Kai-shek's guard and later as the captain of the special task force of the military command, he was secretly called "Hitler of China" by his subordinates!

After Liu Yiguang took office, he immediately stepped up the surveillance of Zhang Xueliang, and he stipulated that the agents who performed internal vigilance tasks must stand at a position of about 30 meters from Zhang Xueliang's house during the day and move to the window and door of the dormitory at night. The perimeter gendarmes stood guard in the distance during the day, and at night they moved to the position where the agents stood during the day to set up sentries. Zhang Xueliang's daily free activity area is only 200 meters, and it is limited to daytime, and he cannot go out of the house after dusk. Outside the vigilance range of the secret agents, the soldiers of the gendarmerie company took three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, looking at each other and forming an encirclement.

At the same time, Liu Yiguang ordered the secret service gendarmes to closely monitor Zhang Xueliang's daily activities, from Zhang Xueliang's every move and living conditions to small words and ideological fluctuations, they must be recorded in detail and reported to the above at any time.
Due to the secret agent's tracking and prevention, the brothers did not have the opportunity to contact each other individually.
One day, two days, three days, all spent in the fun. On the fourth day, the day before Zhang Xuesi left, the sky thunderstorm was great.

After breakfast, Zhang Xueliang said to the fourth brother: "I can't go out today, go, go to the study to read the pictorial newspaper." At this time, Miss Zhao Si stayed behind, and Zhang Luo played cards with the agents.
Zhang Xueliang led the fourth brother to the corner of the study, and through 3 bookshelves and a newspaper shelf, he just blocked the view outside the door and window. Zhang Xuesi suddenly understood that the eldest brother had chosen a place for conversation.
(Zhang Xuesi)
Zhang Xueliang signaled Zhang Xuesi not to squeak, he pointed to the wall (hinting that there was a bugging device), then took out paper and pencil, and the brothers engaged in a silent "conversation".
Zhang Xuesi wrote on the paper as quickly as possible, and after Zhang Xueliang read it, he used an eraser to remove the pencil word and wrote it on the paper...
Finally, Zhang Xueliang advised him: "Read more progress books, follow the Communist Party, and carry out the War of Resistance to the end." ”
And this side turned out to be the last side of the two brothers.
During the Cultural Revolution, Zhang Xuesi was framed by Lin Biao and the Gang of Four counter-revolutionary group as a member of the "Northeast Anti-Party Group" and was imprisoned together. Zhang Xuesi has a very hard spirit, he does not bow his head to death, he is angry all day long, he smokes when he is angry, one after another, and later he is persecuted to death.
Later, after Zhang Xueliang learned about his brother's death, he groaned for half a day and said slowly, "He doesn't know patience." Good times can be, adversity can not stand. I am, you shoot me tomorrow, you still sleep today, I have a sentence, once said to the young man, what is a big husband? The big husband can bend and stretch! ”
In his later years, Zhang Xueliang once mentioned in his oral autobiography that his favorite was zhang Xuesi, the fourth brother born to the fourth mother, who said that his younger brother had bones.
