從溪口到臺北：第三次下野期間蔣介石的抉擇
From Xikou to Taipei: Chiang Kai-shek's? Alternative during His Resignation from the Presidency in 1949
摘要
民國以來蔣介石三次下野，有許多相似之處，都是被逼不得已引退，都回溪口鎮老家，都對局勢的失敗作檢討，也都強調：希望作長期的準備， 以求革命之根本解決， 最後都得以重掌政權， 但同中有異，心境不同，時局不同，發展結果也不同。其中最爲關鍵的是第三次的下野，此次下野，蔣雖引退，但仍具有國民黨總裁之職，自其回溪口後，幾乎每天訪客不斷，對於來訪黨政軍要員的請益，蔣也都給予若干的指示，名爲下野，實際上仍是權力的實質領導者。 蔣回老家一方面固不忘情於國事，但也重視家庭生活，遊歷各處，享受天倫之樂，與鄉親的互動良好，關心修族譜與閱讀也是其生活的重點。 由於李宗仁推動與中共的議和，並沒有得到預期成果，共軍決定渡江，蔣於4月24日離開溪口，往上海及定海附近，最後來臺，其來臺並非倉促決定，早在下野之前即以上海、重慶、廣州、臺灣爲重點地區，並早作佈署，臺灣雖非惟一的選擇，卻是最重要的選擇，由於臺灣隔海較容易防守、中共潛伏者較少，因此先將黃金、故宮博物院之重要文物遷來臺灣，安排陳誠接任臺灣省政府主席之位。杭州會議之後，在陶希聖、陳誠等人的建議下，加以李宗仁一再逼其釋權、出國，蔣乃毅然決定來臺。因此，與其說蔣來臺是局勢所逼，倒不如說是蔣在1949年所作的最重要的選擇。
並列摘要
Chiang Kai-shek resigned from his post as national leaders three times during his lifetime. Every time he was forced to give up his post. Then he came back to his hometown Xikou and made self-criticism about his failure. He emphasized on a long-term preparation in order to fundamentally solve the problem of revolution. And finally he regained his power as a national leader. After his third resignation from the presidency in 1949, however, Chiang still acted as director general of the Kuomintang Party. At Xikou he received guests almost everyday and gave instructions to senior party cadres. Despite he quit his post, Chiang still enjoyed real power as a national leader. Though Chiang is concerned about national affairs at his hometown, he highly valued his family life. He took trips at local areas and had lots of fun with his families. He had amicable interactions with local people. Paying close attention to the compilation of his family pedigree and reading books also became the center of his life. Li Zongren's negotiation with the Chinese Communist Party was doomed. The People's Liberation Army decided to move across the Yangtze River. On April 24, 1949, Chiang left for Shanghai. Then he went to Dinghai and Taiwan. Before his resignation Chiang had already carried on military deployment in Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangzhou, and Taiwan. Though Taiwan was not Chiang's sole alternative, it was the most important one. The Taiwan Strait could be an effective defensive line for Taiwan. So Chiang had already moved gold reserves and treasures at the National Palace Museum to Taiwan. He had also assigned General Chen Cheng to be the governor of Taiwan. Chiang's coming to Taiwan in 1949 was not so much with some reluctancy as of his own most important choice.
