Sure enough, he was released four days later, but then he was under house arrest for 52 years. It was not until Zhang Xueliang sent Chiang Kai-shek's son Jiang Jingguo to prison that the house arrest was lifted.
However, when Zhang Xueliang learned that the general Yang Hucheng, who worked with him, had already been killed, he showed a guilty expression and said with tears: "I still don't understand why I should treat Yang Hucheng like this."
So, why was Yang killed? Why did Chiang Kai-shek dare to kill him?
1908, 14-year-old Yang Hucheng left Xi 'an because his father was killed, and later organized a Mid-Autumn Festival in the village to rob the rich and help the poor. At that time, Yang was disgusted with cannibalism in the old society, and when Wuchang Uprising happened three years later, he raised the banner of righteousness and led the people to fight against the Qing army.
For more than ten years, Yang Hucheng has never given up armed struggle. Less than 30 years old, he is already a famous general in Shaanxi. At the invitation of Feng Yuxiang, he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the 10 Route Army. As a general who fought in Shaanxi and never left Shaanxi, the relationship between Chiang Kai-shek's government and Yang Hucheng was bleak. 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12th counter-revolutionary coup" and began to strangle * * * producers!
At that time, Yang had no interest in Chiang Kai-shek's Party-cleaning policy. Instead, he trained many * * * party member in the army, but at this time he was still interested in the Kuomintang. However, in 1929, Tang Shengzhi and Feng Yuxiang went to war because of interests, and then shook hands and made peace under the drive of interests, completely treating the lives of the dead as dirt!
Yang was completely disgusted with the Kuomintang's face-to-face approach. At this time, he had the idea of joining the * * * production party, hoping to become the second "He Long".
But at that time, Yang was cultivating power in Japan. Because of communication problems, Yang did not become the producer of * * * in the end.
But even so, Yang was in Cao Cao and his heart was in the Han Dynasty. He has been longing for * * * production party and wants to be one of them! And this also directly determines Yang's tough attitude towards Chiang Kai-shek in the incident!
After the Xi Incident, Chiang Kai-shek did not immediately move Yang Hucheng, because Yang Hucheng was a general with real power and had a high prestige in Shaanxi. If Yang was attacked at that time, it would be tantamount to pushing Yang's Tenth Route Army to the * * * production party. However, the Xi 'an incident left a great shadow in Chiang Kai-shek's heart, and he will never let it go!
Therefore, in the face of Yang's sharp edge, Chiang Kai-shek first persuaded Yang to give up his present job in June 1937, hoping that he could go abroad for inspection and win more international solidarity for China's anti-Japanese cause.
At that time, Zhang Xueliang was already under house arrest, and Yang Hucheng knew very well that Chiang Kai-shek would start to deal with himself next. Therefore, he is very vigilant and is not afraid of hearing that he will be relieved of his real power. Because the Kuomintang's military mountainism prevailed at that time, removing him from the commander could not reduce Yang's strength. Yang's people are still his people, and both Yang and Chiang Kai-shek know this.
In fact, Yang also understood that Chiang Kai-shek's "inspection" abroad was tantamount to keeping him away from the political power center. For a general who has just committed a crime, this is equivalent to short-term exile, and Yang doesn't mind. In his view, when the so-called "inspection" expires, he can return to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. However, Chiang Kai-shek's cruelty was unexpected by Yang Hucheng.
10, when Yang returned to China, Chiang Kai-shek specially sent someone to pick him up. Song Ziwen is a member of the Song family and an important figure in Chiang Kai-shek's circle, so Song Ziwen's personal greeting is enough to express Chiang Kai-shek's sincerity to outsiders.
Who knows, after receiving Yang, I tricked him into Nanchang. Dai Li, the spy chief who had been waiting there for a long time, personally arrested him, and then completely imprisoned the patriotic general. Compared with Zhang Xueliang, although they are all imprisoned, the difference is still obvious!
You know, Zhang Xueliang was sentenced to house arrest only four days after his arrest. Moreover, during the period of house arrest, Zhang Xueliang almost did whatever he wanted except that his freedom of movement was restricted. Not only do people come to visit them every day, but their daily lives are also well taken care of by the Kuomintang and they are almost carefree.
But Yang is different. Although Chiang Kai-shek's people did not dare to torture Yang, they did not care much about Xie Baozhen, Yang's wife who was also imprisoned.
At that time, the Kuomintang didn't know that Xie Baozhen was already a * * * producer in party member, but killed Xie Baozhen and joined the * * * producer party. It was Xie Baozhen who bewitched Yang, so Yang made the case.
You know, Yang applied to join the party first, and then married Xie Baozhen with the consent of the producer of * * *, and there was no bewitch between them.
But Chiang Kai-shek is very cunning. In order to let Yang go, he forced Yang to admit that the An incident was a conspiracy planned by the producers of China. At his behest, Yang's cell was separated from his wife's cell by a door. Every day, Yang, who was across the door, heard the threats of those spies to Xie Baozhen, trying to make Yang yield and compromise in the process of constantly stimulating Xie Baozhen.
Even so, Yang never gave in. Whenever asked about the origin of the Xi incident, he always shows hatred for the Kuomintang and worries about the fate of the country.
At this time, Yang understood that if he once showed a tendency to fall to the * * * production party, or admitted that he was coerced by the * * * production party, then he might be free, but the legitimacy of the An incident would soon be reversed by those little people. Seeing Yang Ning's unyielding death, the spies kept torturing Yang's wife Xie Baozhen!
Xie Baozhen was once a member of Feng Yuxiang's national army propaganda team and studied in the women's brigade of Zhongshan College in Xi 'an. She married Yang Hucheng on 1928. Although the spy who interrogated her wanted to mold her into a female spy placed by the production party around Yang Hucheng, Xie Baozhen never joined the Red Army directly, and always worked for General Feng Yuxiang and General Yang Hucheng, leaving them at a loss.
During his imprisonment, Xie Baozhen also showed strong willpower. She not only gave birth to her daughter Yang in prison, but also educated her eldest son. At the same time, she had to fight with the agents. At that time, the postpartum Xie Baozhen's body gradually became fragile, and the spies ignored Xie Baozhen's mental state and tried to disintegrate her will in this way.
Finally, perhaps for fear that Xie Baozhen couldn't hold on, the secret agents completely separated him from Yang Hucheng. By the end of June at 1946,1/kloc-0, Xie Baozhen completely gave up hope of life and finally died at 1947.
Two years later, with the continuous rout of the Kuomintang army, Chiang Kai-shek, who realized that the tide was gone, began to consider retreating! In order to reach Taiwan Province Province and continue to control power, he began to transport mainland gold and national treasures to Taiwan Province Province!
1September, 949, one month before the founding of New China, reactionary agents in the prison where our party comrades were held began a brutal massacre due to the brave attack of the People's Liberation Army! Seeing that he was about to lose almost all his land, Chiang Kai-shek finally killed Yang.
But rao, Chiang Kai-shek dare not open. So he secretly called Mao Renfeng, then a spy, and asked him to kill the Yang family. So Mao Renfeng took Yang and his children, as well as a ***8 people from Yang's secretary's house, to Daigong Temple in Chongqing, and ordered the spy to stab 8 people to death with a dagger. In order not to leave a trace of evil, they destroyed the body with nitric acid water afterwards, and then the reactionaries took off!
It was not until the founding of New China that the Shaanxi Provincial Government established the General Yang Hucheng Martyrs Cemetery in xi 'an. The solemn martyrs cemetery wrote down the responsibility of the patriotic general Yang Hucheng to face the country's future choices. But Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan Province Province with Zhang Xueliang under house arrest and the meanness hidden in his bones.
Compared with Yang Hucheng, Zhang Xueliang is undoubtedly lucky! Although he spent most of his life under house arrest, at least he lived to see the establishment of New China and the demise of reactionaries!
1988, after Jiang Jingguo's death, the Taiwan Province provincial authorities finally lifted the restrictions on Zhang Xueliang's freedom! Zhang Xueliang, the son of the northeast warlord who was over eighty years old, finally breathed the air of freedom. After that, maybe he wants to leave Taiwan Province Province, which is sad and free. After a short stay, he went straight to America!
But those things when he was young, he never forgot. Whenever someone asks about Yang Hucheng, he always says in tears, "I still don't understand. I don't understand why they treat Yang Hucheng like this. "
The old man's painful tears flowed down, and his trembling lips seemed to recall a painful thing. But how can an old man who has been imprisoned for more than 50 years for this matter not know the reason?
He knows very well how strong and despicable the Chiang family's revenge is, and how much those who are polite to him hate him. If he was not Zhang's son, if his relationship with Zhang was not so deep, maybe he would have been melted by saltwater and stayed on the eve of the founding of New China.
We remember that Yang's sacrifice was for the liberation and reunification of the Chinese nation, and his loyalty was for all the people of China. This is a sense of justice and a feeling. And we should be more wary of people like Chiang Kai-shek, who seem kind and gentle, but in fact the evil in their bones is like a thorn, stabbing those noble people at any time.
