In 200 1 year, Zhang Xueliang, a "general of non-resistance" who once seized 300,000 Northeast Army without firing a shot, died in an American hospital. With the death of Zhang Xueliang, people have different opinions on this prodigal warlord. Fame is that he launched the "Xi 'an Incident" that shocked the world, prompting the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to cooperate and jointly fight against the Japanese aggressors, but what was destroyed was that his biological father was destroyed by Japan. The Northeast Army with an army of 300,000 was driven out of the three northeastern provinces by the Japanese army with only 20,000 people, resulting in 30 million people in Northeast China being enslaved by Japanese invaders for 14 years, resulting in hundreds of billions of economic losses. So why didn't Zhang Xueliang resist?
At that time, Japan's ambition to invade Korea was constantly expanding, and it was directed at China, a country with a vast territory and rich resources. After killing Zhang, the contradiction between Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Xueliang was created. When Zhang Xueliang really got rid of Yang Yuting, 193 1 September 18, the Japanese army launched a war of aggression against the northeast of China through the "Wicker Lake Incident", and defeated12,000 people with only 600 people. From September 18 to the end of 12 that year, the Japanese army drove away the Northeast Army with nearly 300,000 young soldiers with just 20,000 men, so the vast country laid by the head coach Zhang completely fell into the hands of the Japanese army. When this incident came out, Zhang Xueliang was strongly criticized by people from all walks of life. Afterwards, Zhang Xueliang said that he misjudged the situation, but he didn't expect the Japanese to have such great ambitions and regretted it very much.
In fact, according to analysis, there are three reasons why Zhang Xueliang did not resist. First, Zhang Xueliang is weak and lacks blood. This can be seen from the fact that Zhang Xueliang was killed by the coach, and Guo Songling, who rebelled against him before, discovered this early. Guo Songling felt that Zhang, the coach, was backward in thought and unfit to rule the three northeastern provinces, while Zhang Xueliang, the rumbled boy, was just a dude with no real skills, so he started fighting in the name of Li rumbled.
Second, Zhang Xueliang knew that if his 300,000 Northeast Army really went to war with the Japanese army, he would have no backup. If he fails, he may even shake his position. Therefore, Zhang Xueliang chose to preserve his strength and chose a policy of non-resistance that never provoked. But it is precisely because of this repeated retrogression that the three northeastern provinces completely fell, and Zhang Xueliang regretted it.
Third, Zhang Xueliang relied too much on the League of Nations. He felt that the League of Nations would uphold justice for him. When the League of Nations ordered Japan to retreat, Japan didn't take the League's words to heart at all. Even though Zhang Xueliang realized that the League of Nations was unreliable in the later period, he still chose not to resist. It can be seen that Zhang Xueliang is weak and naive. In the later period, Zhang Xueliang felt that he had failed the people. In order to make up for his mistakes, there was an "admonition" in the later period, but it was also meritorious.
Under Zhang's management, the three northeastern provinces became the most developed areas in China in terms of industry, agriculture, transportation, foreign trade, culture and education. Among them, the output of steel, oil, gold and electricity is extremely high, and there are extremely rich economic resources such as food crops, minerals and forests. Such a treasure land was easily occupied by the Japanese army. What is even more frightening is that the Shenyang Arsenal, which was painstakingly established by the head coach Zhang, also fell into the hands of the Japanese army intact.
I think Zhang was just a bandit leader at first. With the help of Zhuge Yang Yuting, he developed the economy, built railways, trained the army, and most importantly, established the Shenyang Arsenal, which was built with the help of foreign experts and achieved self-sufficiency in weapons and equipment. Zhang was able to leap from a bandit leader to a great warlord with the same status as Wu and others, a veritable king of Northeast China, but these are all Japanese now. Shenyang Arsenal left a series of war preparation materials such as planes, warships, tanks, machine guns and countless shells to the Japanese army. In this way, the Japanese invaded China with weapons and equipment produced by factories built by China people on the land of China. How sad!
After the "Xi incident", Zhang Xueliang began to be imprisoned for half a century. Later, I went to the United States to spend my old age when I was free. For a while, he wanted to go back to his roots, but because of some delays, he couldn't do it. Before his death, he carefully decided to donate his huge legacy to Columbia University in the United States, which contained many letters that could decrypt history. However, in order to protect future generations from political influence and preserve them well, Zhang Xueliang's decision was well-intentioned. The death of Zhang Xueliang also represents that the disputes of that era have indeed become history.
