After Zhang Xueliang changed his flag in the northeast, the Nanjing National Government unified the whole country in the situation, but most of the warlords of various factions who were attracted by Chiang Kai-shek obeyed Jiang Yang, and few of them followed the orders of Chiang.

Zhang Xueliang After the Northeast changed its banner, the Nanjing National Government unified the whole country in the situation, but most of the warlords of various factions who were attracted by Chiang Kai-shek were obscene to Jiang Yang, and few of them followed the orders of Chiang. Zhang Xueliang in 1931 was called one of these few people.

1930, Yan Xishan , Feng Yuxiang , Li Zongren jointly opposed Chiang Kai-shek, provoking the "Central Plains War " that brought profound disaster to the Chinese people. In order to increase their chances of winning, they tried their best to win over Zhang Xueliang, who has strong troops. Chiang Kai-shek also tried his best to do things and spent a lot of energy and financial resources to win over Zhang Xueliang, hoping that Zhang Xueliang could help him.

But Zhang Xueliang was "blind" in favour of both parties, and was a false conspiracy. It was not until Chiang Kai-shek gained an advantage in this war in mid-September that Zhang Xueliang issued a telegram to "support the central government and call for peace" and marched into the pass and helped Chiang defeat the Yan Feng coalition.

After Chiang Kai-shek won the Central Plains War, he vigorously praised Zhang Xueliang, and was even more popular than before the war. In October, he appointed Zhang Xueliang as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy, and promised to give him real power in North China. In addition, he appointed Zhang's subordinate Yu Xuezhong as the commander of the Pingjin garrison, and Wang Shuchang as the chairman of Hebei Province.

11, Zhang Xueliang went to Nanjing, and Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling led military and political leaders to hold a grand welcome ceremony for him. During Zhang's stay in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek took good care of him. After Zhang returned to North China, Chiang Kai-shek offered "condolences" many times. Inspired by Chiang Kai-shek's "passionate" actions, Zhang Xueliang finally decided to serve Chiang wholeheartedly.

11 In January 1931, the Kuomintang government ordered the establishment of a deputy commander camp of the Army, Navy and Air Force in Beiping , and stipulated that the troops of the eight provinces of Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Rehe , Chahar , Suiyuan , Hebei and Shanxi were controlled by Zhang Xueliang. From then on, Zhang Xueliang began to exercise his powers as the deputy commander-in-chief of the national army. He used this army to make great contributions to Chiang Kai-shek, but he was also cursed by the people of the whole country.

11931, Chen Jitang , Sun Ke and others established Guangzhou National Government in Guangdong and Guangxi , calling for anti-Chiang. Zhang Xueliang immediately issued a telegram expressing his support for the Central Committee and asking Guangdong and Guangxi to put the Party and the country first and strive for domestic peace. Zhang Xueliang's telegram made Chiang Kai-shek take a "peace of mind" and became a "model" for other generals, because Chiang Kai-shek and all the generals knew that : As long as Zhang Xueliang's help was helpful, Chiang Kai-shek would be invincible in military terms.

htmlOn June 6, Chiang Kai-shek published a "Letter to the Generals of the People and Soldiers of the People" to declare that "red disaster" was China's "big disaster". "Zhongzheng held his order to the Party and the country, and led the army" and vowed to eliminate the Red Army to the death. On the 8th, Zhang Xueliang responded to the telegram, saying that he was "inexplicably impressed" by Chiang's "Letter to the Generals of the People and Soldiers of the People and Soldiers of the People and Soldiers of the People and Soldiers of the People and Soldiers of the People and Soldiers of the People and Soldiers of the People and Soldiers of the People on the 6th, and expressed his willingness to lead the army to "only follow the order of the important position."

html In mid-July, Shi Yousan issued a telegram, rebelling against Zhang and Jiang. Shi Ben has surrendered to Zhang Xueliang, and Zhang Xueliang is also trying his best to win him over. However, Shi Sheng was changeable and had great ambitions. He was unwilling to rely on others' situation, so he took advantage of Zhang Xueliang's illness and was hospitalized to respond to the call of the two anti-Cheng factions and initiated a rebellion. After hearing that Shi was rebelled, Zhang Xueliang immediately mobilized elite troops from the Northeast, cooperated with Chiang Kai-shek's army, and attacked Shi's army from the north and south, defeating Shi's army. He followed the orders of

from Chiang Kai-shek, and the army would not withdraw from the pass. At this moment, the "September 18th" incident occurred in the north that shocked China and the world.

11931, Japan's intention to invade China became increasingly obvious, and many provocations were carried out before the launch of the "September 18th" Incident. Chiang Kai-shek was afraid of offending the Japanese and repeatedly ordered Zhang Xueliang to "avoid conflicts." Since his father was assassinated by the Japanese, Zhang Xueliang has hated Japan to the core. But he strictly abides by Chiang Kai-shek's orders and always strictly orders his army to avoid conflicts with the Japanese army.

11931, the Japanese army conducted many "military exercises" in Shenyang and Dalian, creating the " ,000 Baoshan Incident " and "Nakamura Incident" that triggered the anti-Chinese style of North Korea. When dealing with these incidents, Zhang Xueliang strictly abides by the "central orders", either turning a blind eye or advocating a "diplomatic solution" and swearing a few words.

However, Chiang Kai-shek was still worried. When he was dealing with the "Nakamura Incident", he sent him a secret telegram: "No matter how the Japanese army provoked in the Northeast from now on, we should not resist. My brother should not show off his anger for a moment and ignore the country and nation." In this way, Zhang Xueliang naturally did not dare to resist.

htmlOn September 18, the Japanese army created the "Liutiao Lake Incident". In the early morning of the 19th, he occupied Shenyang again, and then occupied Changchun, Yingkou and other major cities. After the incident, Zhang Xueliang sent Chiang Kai-shek a number of telegrams overnight to ask for solutions. Chiang Kai-shek replied in a secret telegram: "The Japanese army in Shenyang can act as a local incident. We hope to avoid conflicts to avoid escalation of the situation. We can wait for the central government to deal with all negotiations with Japan."

Zhang Xueliang originally believed that anti-Japanese was a matter for the whole nation, and his army alone would not be able to win. Now, Chiang Kai-shek repeatedly said, "no resistance." In this way, he decided to give up resistance. September 19. In an interview with Tianjin's " Ta Kung Pao ", he said: "I have already ordered our soldiers to provoke the Japanese soldiers and cannot resist. Therefore, our army ordered the confiscation of the ordnance and stored it in the warehouse. At around 10 o'clock last night, the Japanese soldiers rushed into our camp with 300 people and shot each other. Our army was not armed and had no resistance." In the words of

, the implementation of the "non-resistance" policy of has been regarded as a kind of honor. At that time, there were only 10,000 Japanese troops in Northeast China, and 150,000 Japanese troops in , Northeast Army in . Even if the equipment is poor, they will not be defeated immediately. On November 27, more than 10 Northeast military brigade commanders volunteered to Zhang Xueliang to fight against Japan in Peking. Zhang Xueliang replied: "Wan Fulin has been sent to Commander-in-Chief Jiang for instructions, and there will be a reply. The soldiers take obedience as their duty, and their actions should be based on the central order. Xueliang and the brigade commanders are on the same position. If the central commander has orders, they should lead by themselves."

But Commander-in-Chief Jiang did not give orders to resist. He finally watched the Northeast where his army relies for survival gradually fall into the hands of invaders without resistance.

Zhang Xueliang's non-resistance aroused the righteous indignation of the people of the whole country and was scolded as a "non-resistance general". Someone wrote a likable poem to scold him : "Zhao Si is romantic and Zhu Wu is crazy, and the butterflies are just doing. The heroes in the gentle countryside are like Shenyang, no matter how to deal with Dongshi."

People cannot guess Zhang Xueliang's mood at that time, but while condemning him for not resisting, they cannot simply evaluate him based on his actions. Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army was developed directly from the Fengjun founded by his father Zhang Zuolin . Most of them were Northeast Army soldiers; a large part of the military costs also depended on the Northeast's finances to collect people. From these two items, without the Northeast, the Northeast Army could hardly be maintained, and Zhang Xueliang lost his political future.

As a general who grew up in the Northeast, facing the decline of his hometown, he must not be moved when he thinks of his ancestral grave and his ancestral grave and his Ship Mansion . When the Northeast Army asked Zhang Xueliang for war, he said excitedly : "I love China, I love the Northeast even more, because my ancestors' tombs are all in the Northeast. If Yu loses the Northeast, I will never be at ease." Even though there are many reasons for his non-resistance, loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek's order is undoubtedly an important one. From this perspective. His infamy was carried by Chiang Kai-shek.

In mid-October, Zhang Xueliang called Chiang Kai-shek for the incident in the Northeast and requested his resignation. Chiang Kai-shek immediately replied, trying his best to keep it, and asked him not to speak out about the matter. Chiang Kai-shek's idea was very clear. As long as Zhang Xueliang was holding back the matter in the Northeast, he would not be the direct implementer of the "non-resistance" policy, and would be exempted from many infamy and would not further aggravate his embarrassing situation.

11 On December 15, 2031, Chiang Kai-shek resigned as Chairman of the National Government, Premier of the Executive, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force, and announced his resignation. Zhang Xueliang also resigned from the position of deputy commander-in-chief on the same day and was transferred to the position of director of the Beiping Pacification Office. When taking up his new position, Zhang Xueliang still did not forget Chiang Kai-shek's "teaching": "The commander-in-chief gave us a new task, which is to 'appeasement' in Peiping. Everyone should work together to complete this task well."

When Chiang Kai-shek returned to his hometown, Zhang Xueliang still did not forget to ask Chiang Kai-shek for his order and called Chiang to say : "You are so sad today, don't let it be sad ! Japanese invaders approached Jinzhou . How can the situation in Hebei be good? Please give the last pointer." He was guilty of such a serious crime and lost so much army, but he still remained loyal to Chiang. Loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek became Zhang Xueliang's highest "responsibility".
