After the Xi Incident, did anyone secretly rescue two generals in JASON ZHANG?

From 1936 to 12, the Xi Incident led by patriotic generals Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng and its peaceful settlement were particularly significant events in the history of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China. It played a key role in changing the wrong policy of Nanjing National Government that "foreign countries must be settled first" and promoting the establishment of an anti-Japanese national united front based on the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

Stationed in the northwest with Xi 'an as the center are the Northeast Army of Zhang Xueliang and the 17th Route Army of Yang Hucheng. These two armies are not Chiang Kai-shek's clique, but Chiang Kai-shek sent them to the northwest to suppress * * *. Zhang Xueliang felt guilty after losing the Northeast without fighting. With the deepening of Japanese aggression, his desire to counterattack and return home became stronger and stronger, and he became more and more dissatisfied with the civil war that consumed his anti-Japanese strength. Yang Hucheng also longed for the war of resistance.

At the same time, China's * * * production party, on the one hand, dealt a strong blow to the Kuomintang's attempt to "encircle and suppress" militarily, on the other hand, actively called for stopping the civil war and uniting with the outside world out of national justice, and advocated the establishment of an anti-Japanese national united front. Encouraged by China's anti-Japanese national united front policy, Zhang Yang achieved a secret ceasefire with the Red Army, and repeatedly asked Chiang Kai-shek to stop the civil war and unite with * * * to resist Japan.

Zhang Xueliang even cried and remonstrated with Chiang Kai-shek, complaining about the necessity of the war of resistance, but he was severely reprimanded by Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek not only sternly rejected Zhang and Yang's demands, but also mobilized his own troops to station in Shensi-Kansu, and personally urged Ann to "suppress * * *" and force Zhang and Yang to attack the Red Army, otherwise they would transfer propaganda troops and disperse them. Even when the people in Ann learned that Chiang Kai-shek was in Ann, they marched to Chiang Kai-shek to petition for an anti-Japanese war, and Chiang ordered Zhang Xueliang to severely suppress patriotic petitioners with machine guns, which made Zhang Xueliang deeply puzzled and miserable. In order to protect the masses, Zhang Xueliang assured them that he would give them a satisfactory answer with his own actions, which discouraged them from moving forward and avoided a shocking bloody case. This incident aggravated the dissatisfaction with Jiang's wrong policy. Seeing that all efforts to persuade Chiang Kai-shek were of no avail, Zhang Yang had to decide to implement "military remonstrance".

1936 12 In the early morning of February 12, the Xi 'an incident shocked China and foreign countries. The Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army acted in concert, detained Chiang Kai-shek, imprisoned a number of Kuomintang military and political officials accompanying him, and immediately electrified the whole country, indicating that the sole purpose of detaining Chiang Kai-shek was to promote anti-Japanese, and put forward eight anti-Japanese propositions, including reorganizing the Nanjing government and stopping all civil wars.

After the Xi incident, it caused strong repercussions at home and abroad. On how to deal with this incident, the Nanjing government authorities have two diametrically opposite ideas: a tough military solution and a peaceful negotiation solution.

* * * The Central Committee knew nothing about the Xi 'an incident, which was just a propaganda act. This incident caused a strong shock to the Central Committee. After the incident, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China carefully studied the international and domestic situation, set out from the great plan of uniting the people of the whole country to resist Japan, determined the basic policy of peacefully resolving the Xi incident, and advocated doing everything possible to unite the Nanjing leftists, win over the centrists, oppose the pro-Japanese factions, and push the Nanjing government to resist Japan.

The Xi 'an incident has also attracted extensive and close attention from public opinion at home and abroad, and they strongly hope for a peaceful solution, and are unwilling to kill each other and self-destruct the Great Wall at the critical moment of Japanese aggression, thus forming a strong public pressure for a peaceful solution.

Immediately after the incident, JASON ZHANG invited China * * * to send representatives to Xi 'an to discuss solutions, and Zhou Enlai participated in the negotiations as the plenipotentiary of China * * *. After the Nanjing government authorities made it clear that Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng and the * * * production party had no intention of harming Chiang Kai-shek, but hoped for a peaceful settlement of the incident, on 22nd, Song Meiling, the wife of Chiang Kai-shek, and Song Ziwen, his brother-in-law, went to Xi 'an for negotiations. In accordance with the relevant instructions of the Central Committee, Zhou Enlai has done a lot of fruitful work in the negotiations with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng and with Nanjing. On the evening of February 24th, 65438, Zhou Enlai met with Chiang Kai-shek and explained to him China's policy of resisting Japan and saving the nation. Under the comprehensive pressure of various factors, Chiang Kai-shek also had to realize that there was no future in civil war, and the war of resistance was the only way out. Finally, he agreed to the negotiation conditions, verbally promised that "as long as I exist, China will never have another civil war against * * *", and finally prepared to turn to the war of resistance.

On the afternoon of 25th, Zhang Xueliang decided to release Chiang Kai-shek immediately in order to ensure his safety and ease the tension. He personally escorted Chiang Kai-shek to leave Xi 'an by plane regardless of his personal safety, which fully showed that Zhang Xueliang provoked the trouble out of the public interest of demanding the war of resistance, not for any personal gain. However, as soon as he arrived in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek immediately detained Zhang Xueliang, leaving a generation of young disgruntled people in prison forever. Zhang Xueliang's detention caused chaos in the Northeast Army and stabilized the situation with Zhou Enlai's efforts.

The peaceful settlement of the Xi 'an incident became the fulcrum of China's transition from civil war to preparation for the war of resistance, and the anti-Japanese national united front advocated by China's * * * production party was initially formed. Finally, under the wrong policy of "being busy outside must be determined internally", the Nanjing government authorities gradually changed their long-term cowardly behavior of compromising and giving in to Japan and began to prepare for the war of resistance. China * * * Production Party played a key role in the peaceful settlement of the Xi incident. China's * * * production party let bygones be bygones, supported Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang to unite in the war of resistance out of national justice, and resolutely decided to cooperate with the Kuomintang for the second time, which fully embodied the great mind of China's * * * production party that put national interests first. After the peaceful settlement of the Xi Incident, the civil war basically stopped, the relations between the two countries developed rapidly, and a new period of domestic peace began, so that China was able to concentrate on preparing for an all-round war of resistance.
