After the Xi'an Incident that shocked the whole country on December 12, 1936, Zhang Xueliang was detained in Nanjing by Chiang Kai-shek, resulting in the Northeast Army without a leader, and for a while the Northeast Army was in chaos.
On the issue of how to rescue Zhang Xueliang from the Northeast Army, there was an internal fight between the young and strong faction headed by Yu Wenjun and the anti-Japanese faction headed by the 67th army commander Wang Yizhe, a close friend of Zhang Xueliang.
The young faction advocated the rescue of Zhang Xueliang by force, and the commander Wang Yizhe advocated the rescue of Zhang Xueliang through negotiation with the Communist Party. In the fierce quarrel, the young faction Yu Wenjun shot and killed Wang Yizhe. As soon as the news that Commander Wang Yizhe was shot at
67, Liu Duoquan, commander of the 67th Army under Wang Yizhe, led his troops to surround Yu Wenjun’s camp. In order to avenge Commander Wang Yizhe, he shot Yu Wenjun in public and persuaded Zhang Xueliang to join the Communist Party to fight against Japan. Gao Fuyuan, general .
The famous "2.2" internal strife in the Northeast Army broke out in Xi'an in history.
General Yang Hucheng of the Northwest Army sent people to inform that Zhou Enlai, the communist party negotiator who was invited by the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army to come to Xi’an from Yan'an to participate in the negotiations, asked the Red Army representatives to go to the Northwest Army to temporarily take shelter, worrying about the Northeast Army’s young and strong factions On impulse, Zhou Enlai's safety is at risk. Was politely rejected by Zhou Enlai.
Zhou Enlai believes that not only cannot escape at this time, but he should also go to the home of Commander Wang Yizhe of the 67th Army to visit Commander Wang’s family and the brothers of the Northeast Army, taking this opportunity to explain that Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng have detained Chiang Kai-shek for uniting the people of the whole country in the joint resistance against Japan. The purpose and significance of the army fighting back home. Z6z
Zhou Enlai realized that if the Northeast Army's internal strife cannot be quelled, it will inevitably affect the negotiation process between the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, and the Z2z Red Army and the Kuomintang government on stopping the civil war and uniting against Japan.
Immediately, Sun Mingjiu, Yingdetian, Miao Jianqiu and of the Northeast Army's young and strong sect rushed into the garrison of Qixianzhuang Zhou Enlai. Yang Yan asked the Communist Party to give an explanation to the Northeast Army. Zhou Enlai stood up when he saw this and said righteously: What are you going to do? Do you think this can save the marshal? You killed each other and messed up the Northeast Army, which just killed the marshal.
Sun Mingjiu and others, like a deflated ball, softened, put away the shell gun in their hands, bowed their heads one by one, feeling at a loss for a while.
Zhou Enlai continued: As long as we Xi’an, the Northeast Army, Northwest Army, and Red Army do not confuse themselves and maintain the current trinity situation, we will have a strong force to negotiate with the Chiang Kai-shek government, and there is a possibility of saving the marshal. .
If we kill each other, destroy unity, and have infighting, can we still have the strength to save the marshal?
The young and strong faction suddenly became more sober, Zhou Enlai knew that the infighting had already involved the young and strong faction's own safety. If the infighting continued, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Zhou Enlai persuaded: You should not go back to the Northeast Army camp at this time to avoid further escalation of infighting. I arrange for you to go to the Red Army Yunyang Station for a temporary refuge. After I discuss with the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, you will return to the army. After Mao Zedong learned of the internal strife in the Northeast Army in Xi'an, Mao Zedong immediately sent Zhou Enlai to leave Xi'an and evacuate to the Red Army headquarters in Yunyang. Z6z
Zhou Enlai knows that the cooperation between the KMT and the Communist Party is hard-won. If you are afraid to withdraw and stop the civil war, the joint anti-Japanese negotiations will fall short.
He withdrew the other entourages back to Yunyang, and he and Li Kenong insisted on Xi'an. In order to express his condolences and concern as friends to the Northeast Army, he took Li Kenong and Liu Ding, regardless of danger, to the home of General Wang Yizhe, Commander of the 67th Army.
At this time, it was only more than an hour before Wang Yizhe was killed. General Wang Yizhe was shot nine times and lying in a pool of blood. The house was in chaos and the mourning hall had not been set up yet. Someone in the Northeast Army reported that the young and strong faction shot Commander Wang was instigated and provoked by the Communist Party representative Zhou Enlai.
When someone said that the CCP’s Zhou Enlai and others came to mourn the funeral, Brother Wang Yizhe could no longer control his emotions. He drew out his pistol and pushed the bullet into the chamber. He hid behind the curtain and said loudly: "Let the Communists I live to sacrifice my brother-in-law!" Mrs. Wang Yizhe at the side of
was shocked when she heard that, she grabbed her brother's hand and said: "Don't, people of the Communist PartyZhou Enlai is Dingfang's true friend. "Z6z
talked, Zhou Enlai waited before Wang Yizhe Ling, he cried "Dingfang, Dingfang" while crying, tears bursting from his eyes. All the people present were moved.
Wang Yizhe’s one of the few indifferent My brother-in-law couldn’t help crying. Z6z
Thanks to Zhou Enlai’s efforts, the Northeast Army’s internal strife subsided. Under Zhou Enlai’s leadership, the Trinity Negotiations between Northeast Army, Northwest Army and Red Army were realized, and finally reached an agreement on cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party,
