Private life:
1, Zhang Xueliang used opium in his early years and later switched to injection * * *;
2. Zhang Xueliang's evaluation of his life is "no regrets in life, only good women". To this end, Zhang Xueliang wrote a limerick for himself, "Heroes have always been lewd. If they are not heroes, I am not a hero, but I am as lewd as a hero." Zhang Xueliang recalled that he had only chased two women in his life, others, and he had two wives in his life. 165438+.
Dealing with state affairs:
1, Zhang Xueliang was admitted to Baoding Army Military Academy, but he didn't attend. He studies in the Northeast Wujiang College founded by his father. After studying 1 1 month, he graduated because his father became a colonel. Contemporary Li Zongren, after graduating from Wujiang Military Academy in Guangxi, only became a small platoon leader.
2. Zhang Xueliang's attitude towards education. In Northeast China, Zhang Xueliang attached great importance to the development of education. He personally donated 30 million yuan to build Northeastern University, and he also allocated 6.5438+0.6 million yuan every year. At this time, Tsinghua only allocated 700,000 yuan each year.
3. Zhang Xueliang's attitude towards civil war. Although Zhang Xueliang is the son of a warlord, he has participated in turf battles between warlords, but his ambition as a child was to save people, but he wanted to kill people as an adult. Zhang Xueliang is unwilling to fight civil war in his bones. He advised his father not to fight civil war again, and Zhang Zuo Lin later stopped fighting because of Zhang Xueliang's advice;
4. The relationship between Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek. Privately, Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek are related. Why do you say that? Because Song Meiling's mother recognized Zhang Xueliang's wife Yu Fengzhi as her adopted daughter, then Yu Fengzhi and Song Meiling were sisters, and Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek were sons-in-law of the Song family. In public, Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang seem to have a superior-subordinate relationship, but in fact their relationship is very subtle. During the struggle between Nanjing and Guangdong, Chiang Kai-shek borrowed 20 planes from Zhang Xueliang to deal with the local forces in Guangdong who were competing with the Nanjing government. As the supreme military commander of the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek can only mobilize his troops by borrowing, and the so-called borrowing means borrowing and returning. It can be seen from this that Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang are not really superior and subordinate, and Zhang Xueliang does not sell Chiang Kai-shek's account very much.
5. Zhang Xueliang's handling of "Zhongdong Road Incident". Zhongdong Road is the Beiman Railway. 1905 After the Russo-Japanese War, the North Manchuria Railway was controlled by Russia and the South Manchuria Railway was controlled by Japan. After the founding of the Soviet Union, the status quo was maintained. The Soviets served as the director and deputy director of the Beiman Railway Bureau, and most of the managers were Soviets. 1July, 929, Zhang Xueliang ordered the Soviet personnel to be dismissed and replaced by Chinese personnel, and detained 1200 Soviet personnel in Harbin;
Zhang Xueliang during the 6.9 18 Incident. 1990, NHK TV in Japan interviewed Zhang Xueliang and asked him why the 9 18 incident ordered no resistance. Zhang Xueliang said: "I didn't expect the Japanese to do that at that time. I thought Japan was provoking us with military action, so I ordered not to resist. I misjudged the 9 18 incident;
7. Zhang Xueliang's misjudgment in the 9 18 incident made him endure the pain of losing his hometown and became a traitor. He suffered in pain for five years. Because he didn't want to fight civil war, Zhang Xueliang launched the "Xi 'an Incident" at 1936+02+65438. However, his personality, wisdom, experience and ability make him far from calmly facing the complicated situation after the military admonition.
Zhang Xueliang's humanity is complicated. He is both a patriotic general and a playboy. He not only has patriotic feats, but also has a small plan to deal with the Nanjing central government in order to maintain his loyalty. Because of his limited personal talent, knowledge and experience, plus his recklessness and recklessness, Zhang Xueliang was at the forefront of the complicated domestic and international situation, but he could not control this situation, thus changing the history of China and his own life.
