杨虎城与西安事变善后中的战和问题

西安事变和平解决后,蒋介石一到南京即扣押了张学良,同时对西安进行政治分化与军事威胁,企图用武力实现“陕甘军事善后办法”,西北形势迅速恶化。对南京方面,究竟是“战”还是“和”?西安方面内部分歧较大。身为西北地区最高负责人的杨虎城,由于自身实力较小和受中共态度的影响,时而主战,时而主和,总体上是主战大于主和。杨虎城的主战主张对于争取张学良回陕具有一定的现实意义,但是这和抗日大局相比,又是微不足道的。对此,“千古功臣”杨虎城是有所认识的,只不过不愿放弃昔日的好友。

General Yang Hucheng and the War-and-Peace Issue after the Xi'an Incident

After the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident,Jiang Jieshi put General Zhang Xueliang under arrest in Nanjing.And at the same time,he threatened the army leaders in Xi'an politically and militarily.The situation in the northwest deteriorated as Jiang attempted to work out a final settlement for the Communist-controlled regions.Under such circumstances,there was a wide difference amng the leaders in Xi'an.As the supreme leader of the northwestern region, Yang Huchang's attitude was restrained by his own power and influenced by the Communist Party of China,wavering between war and peace.By on the whole,he preferred using force.This strategy was of practical significance to getting Zhang Xueliang back to Xi'an.But compared to the overall situation of fighting against the Japanese invasion,it was nearly pointless.Of this Yang had a somewhat clear mind.He had the above-mentioned attitude only because he was unwilling to give way his old friend,General Zhang.
