A Study Of The Evolution Of The Strategy Of The National Government To Deal With The " Trinity" Strategy Before And After The Xi'an Incident

Before and after the Xi'an Incident,the Nationalist Government made a series of strategic adjustments in response to the Chinese Communists,the Northeast Army,and the Seventeenth Army.Although the National Government's strategy prior to the incident had played a corresponding role before the Xi'an Incident,such as hitting the Red Army,successfully suppressing the 17 th Route Army and differentiating the Northeast Army,it ignored the determination of the three parties to seek a new way out,especially the failure to equip Zhang Xueliang with the CCP.After frequent contact with effective methods,Chiang Kai-shek also ignored Zhang Xueliang's determination to resist the Japanese security forces.During this period,although he arrested Northeast Anti-Japanese Progressives and the 17 th Route Army's Anti-Japanese Progressives and went to Xi'an to supervise the war,these measures failed to ease Chiang Kai-shek.The contradiction between Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng was further intensified.After the Xi'an Incident,the government leaders were detained and the National Government responded to various pressures at home and abroad in a timely manner to stabilize the political,economic and social situation in the country and control the impact of the incident within a certain range.In the course of privately running liaisons,the politicians formed the war group and the peace group.The war group seized the initiative in formal meetings,organized the rebel army in a timely manner,and launched a military attack on the Trinity,indicating that the Nationalist government The hard facts of the incident changed;the peace group took the initiative to dialogue with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng in the early days of the incident to understand the causes of Zhang and Yang's incidents.During the communication,the Song brothers and sisters went to Xi'an to negotiate mediation and promoted the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident.Although the war group and the peace group are different in the way of resolving the Xi'an Incident,it is also a tactic of the Nationalist Government to resolve the Xi'an Incident — to use military action to deter force while not giving up the peaceful resolution.Both factions are based on the starting point of rescuing Chiang Kai-shek and preserving the prestige of the government and participating inthe formulation and adjustment of the national government's strategy.After returning to Nanjing,Chiang Kai-shek clearly recognized the need to adjust past strategies and deal with the post-Shaanxi issues in the new understanding of the Trinity.Chiang Kai-shek believed that it was necessary to disintegrate the Trinity.The first step toward the collapse of this alliance was to resolve the most powerful Northeastern military,detain Zhang Xueliang through the trial and demand Zhang Xueliang to oblige the Northeast Army to submit to the plan of the National Government to deal with the aftermath,and face toughness and even a war.In the case of Yang Hucheng,the Nationalist Government focused on cracking down on the 17 th Route Army and succeeded in dividing the 17 th Route Army's ministries and forcing Yang Hucheng to compromise;the CCP took part in launching the Xi'an Incident,so the National Government adopted an isolated strategy and tried its best to perfunctory the CCP's handling of the aftermath of the National Government.In the course of the matter,it remained neutral,and the Nationalist Government was able to concentrate its energy on formulating strategies for dismantling the Northeast and 17 th Route Army.The various strategies of the Nationalist Government succeeded in causing the Northeastern Army to have a guilty conscience.Yang Hucheng also accepted the decision to withdraw from office.The Trinity collapsed.The East-Northeast Army and the 17 th Route Army were withdrawn,and the two armed forces were then reorganized into the anti-Japanese forces of the Nationalist Government.The Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee passed the "Resolution on Ending the Crisis of the Red House" and formally decided to allow the Communist Party of China to join the unified leadership of the Nationalist Government after the restructuring and reorganization.This shows that the Nationalist government has long been adhering to the adjustment of the "communist" strategy and is jointly Anti-Japanese laid the foundation for cooperation.
