On December 31, 1936, Zhang Xueliang was sent to the Military Commission in Nanjing for trial, and at this time, the secretaries and adjutants he brought from Xi'an were all disarmed, and Zhang Xueliang began his career under house arrest.
At the beginning of Zhang Xueliang's loss of freedom, his mood was very low, and he ate very little food every time, and at first Zhang Xueliang had a habit of sleeping, and every time he put the vest he wore on the bed, and then slept on it by himself.
The spies thought that there was some secret in the vest, so they searched the vest, Zhang Xueliang couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and scolded loudly: "You are really lacking in virtue, you are really lacking in virtue!" It shows that he is already in a bad mood.
Later, Zhang Xueliang was transferred to Xuedou Mountain at the mouth of Fenghua River, and his wife Yu Fengzhi and Miss Zhao Si were allowed to visit him.
In addition to letting the two women take turns to accompany him, in terms of Zhang Xueliang's personal life and residence, when he was in Xikou Xuedou Mountain, Chiang Kai-shek spent a huge amount of money to charter a hotel on the mountain, and converted 6 rooms into Zhang Xueliang's house, of course, in order to facilitate supervision.
The furniture in Zhang Xueliang's residence is good, the bathroom uses a flush toilet, and there is a heating fireplace, while the special service company responsible for guarding lives in Xuedou Temple, and the environment is much worse.
These guards are very well equipped, a total of more than 30 spies, equipped with 50 fast and slow machines, plus two submachine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and the ammunition is also quite sufficient.
In order to put Zhang Xueliang under house arrest, Chiang Kai-shek also paid for it, because Zhang Xueliang liked to play tennis, which was a luxury sport at that time, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the construction of a tennis court for Zhang Xueliang, and also built other facilities.
In the summer, Zhang Xueliang likes to swim, and later the spies dug a swimming pool for Zhang Xueliang in his residence, and when he was bored, Zhang Xueliang would also play chess with the security agents, but all the guards, no one was Zhang Xueliang's opponent.
In terms of eating, Zhang Xueliang can almost meet all kinds of requirements, he likes to eat United States apples, drink Coke soda, etc., these rare things at that time, in front of Zhang Xueliang are nothing.
Chiang Kai-shek once said that the funds of an infantry regiment were used to maintain Zhang Xueliang's living expenses, and later due to changes in the situation, in 1946, Zhang Xueliang was transferred to Taoshan Village, Wufeng Township, Hsinchu County, Taiwan, where he spent nearly 11 years.
Zhang Xueliang's living treatment here is still good, because he is far away from the town, Zhang Xueliang often takes a hat to grow vegetables and fish here, and he and Miss Zhao Si even raise a lot of chickens, as if living a life of male farmers and female weavers.
