Jiang Baili in the Xi Incident;

/kloc-in the winter of 0/936, Jiang Baili was ordered to inspect the European military to return home and fly to Xi 'an to report to Chiang Kai-shek. Unexpectedly, at dawn the next day (65438+February 65438+February), the Xi incident shocked China and foreign countries.

On the day of the incident, Chen Cheng and Jiang, who were staying at Anxi Jing Hotel, were detained together with Jiang Baili. Senior Chiang Kai-shek officials in custody all opposed the "military remonstration" and refused to sign the eight propositions. Only Jiang Baili supported them without hesitation. Zhang Xueliang thought Jiang Baili was honest, frank and credible, so he apologized to him again and again.

At this time, the pro-Japanese sent troops to Tongguan to send planes to bomb Ann. Bombing Josiah may endanger Chiang Kai-shek's life. 65438+February 65438+May, Zhang Xueliang met with Jiang Baili and asked him to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to ease the escalation of the conflict.

12 16 evening, Zhang Xueliang accompanied Jiang Baili to the officer's private house under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek. Second, Chiang Kai-shek confided behind closed doors.

At present, the Japanese navy and army are working hard for each other to invade China. The Japanese emperor has secretly met with the Minister of the Army, and it seems that there will be a large-scale invasion of China next year. "

Jiang Baili also mentioned, "From the international situation, the United States is selling weapons to Japan, and doing business is very important. When European countries saw that Germany was going to use force, they forgot themselves. Only we China people can unite to resist! " Jiang Baili's ability to quote classics makes sense. Deeply moved by this, Chiang Kai-shek finally agreed to handle the crisis in Xi in a peaceful way.

Chiang Kai-shek's attitude gradually changed. He personally wrote two letters, one to He, in which he explicitly requested to stop the military action against China. Another letter to Jiang Baili, after careful consideration, suggested sending Chiang's confidant to convey it. Chiang Kai-shek ordered Chiang to send this letter to Nanjing.

Song Meiling and Song Ziwen fly to Xi.

The chairman might as well talk to him. " Chiang Kai-shek readily agreed. Since then, Jiang Baili stopped interfering and allowed Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng and Zhou Enlai to negotiate directly with Chiang Kai-shek, so that the Xi 'an incident was finally resolved peacefully.
