Chapter 11 Turnaround
?Adjustrant Sorghum Stalk brought a bunch of things, which were seized from Chiang Kai-shek's bedroom at the Huaqing Pool. Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but feel angry when he saw it. It turned out that Chiang Kai-shek had a stack of letters in his bag, all of which were private letters he wrote to Soong Mei-ling over the years. No wonder Mei-ling never replied, so that's it.
There is also a black sheepskin cover notebook under the letter. Zhang Xueliang opened the browsing, but was attracted by the content. This is Chiang Kai-shek's diary, which records his voice and insights. He has been oppressed by Japan for a long time. As a leader, he is indescribable and has no choice but to be in a position to suppress the Communist Party and gain time to build national defense. So.
"Prepare the car, I'm going to see the chairman." Zhang Xueliang closed the notebook and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. Judging from the content in the diary, Chiang Kai-shek was determined to resist Japan. If he patiently advised him, this matter could be resolved peacefully.
When he arrived at the house arrest, Chiang Kai-shek still refused to meet and talk. Zhang Xueliang had no choice but to leave in disappointment. After returning to the command center, he received a call from the airport saying that an airplane from the center was hovering and dropped a message saying that it was Mr. Duanna from Nanjing, who would light a fire if he was allowed to land.
Duan Na, an Australian, was once Zhang Xueliang's consultant. Nanjing sent him here, probably because he was a peacemaker. Zhang Xueliang hurriedly ordered the fire to welcome him. In less than an hour, Duan Na came by car. Zhang Xueliang welcomed him out and had a cordial conversation. After learning about Nanjing's attitude, he remained silent for a long time and said, "You should go to the committee with me to meet the committee."
When Chiang Kai-shek learned that Duan Na was visiting, he agreed to meet him. Zhang Xueliang took the opportunity to propose a new place for Chiang Kai-shek to live.
"If I don't go, I won't go anywhere!" Chiang Kai-shek was still tough and refused any cooperation.
Zhang Xueliang said: "This is the area controlled by the Northwest Army. They hate the commissioner to the core. If something unexpected happens, Xueliang will be powerless."
Chiang Kai-shek said: "Let them kill me." But his tone had weakened a lot.
Duanna took the opportunity to persuade him, and Chiang Kai-shek finally agreed to move to Gao Guizi Mansion, which was very close to Zhang Xueliang's deputy commander's headquarters and was the sphere of influence of the Northeast Army.
The transfer was carried out secretly without telling Yang Hucheng. When the car carrying Chiang Kai-shek passed the street, he was encountering students from Northeastern University parades, and the slogans were deafening: "Public trial of Chiang Kai-shek, unanimous anti-Japanese war!"
Chiang Kai-shek's face became extremely ugly. He has long regarded himself as a leader. Even when he encountered students' demonstrations, he dared not call him by name. Now that he has become a prisoner, the students will have to try him publicly. The psychological shock and blow can be imagined.
Suddenly several planes passed by at a low altitude, and the protesters hurriedly dodged, and the car was forced to stop. The sorghum stalk hurriedly pulled the curtains on the car, fearing that Chiang Kai-shek would be seen inside.
"It's just a few reconnaissance planes, what's the scary?" Chiang Kai-shek said contemptuously.
Zhang Xueliang, who was in the co-pilot seat, turned his head and said, "This is a bad thing for the Commissioner. The Central Army has bombed Xi'an many times these days. It is understandable that the students cannot distinguish between bombers and reconnaissance planes. However, I am very surprised. During the Suiyuan War of Resistance, there were Japanese planes all over the sky, and there was not a single central plane. Now something happened in Xi'an. The central plane can come eight times a day. I dare not hit the Japanese. I am quite enthusiastic about bombing our own people. I think why do you think this is?"
Chiang Kai-shek snorted coldly, turned his face and said nothing, but felt uncomfortable. He was not in the center, and the person who presided over the army must be He Yingqin. He was so spared no effort to bomb Xi'an, so he definitely did not want to rescue him, but to force Zhang Yang to take action!
...
In Nanjing, the Ministry of Military Affairs, He Yingqin was dispatching troops. He appointed himself as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army and appointed Liu Zhi as the commander-in-chief of the East Road Army of the rebel army. Gu Zhu was also the commander-in-chief of the Western Road Army, and gathered troops respectively to oppress Xi'an from both the east and west sides at the same time.
On both sides of the long conference table covered with dark green felt, the generals who were equipped with guns looked serious and accepted the appointment together. Suddenly, the adjutant came to report: "Mrs. is here..."
"No." He Yingqin said without hesitation, his face didn't turn around. If the chairman was not here, he didn't need to give his wife face.
Outside the door, the adjutant was careful to accompany him. Soong Mei-ling insisted on breaking in, and two tall and powerful guards blocked the door of the conference room.
After a staircase rang, Chen Zikun and Song Ziwen walked up. Seeing that Soong Mei-ling was turned away, Chen Zikun immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why don't you let in!"
The adjutant hurriedly said, "Go to report again," and then he flashed into the conference room. The two guards blocked the door again. Chen Zikun stretched out his hands, pushed the two of them aside, stood sideways at the door, and said, "Madam, please."
Soong Mei-ling gave a grateful glance, held her head high into the conference room, interrupted the military meeting, and asked He Yingqin on the spot why he wanted to bomb Xi'an.
"You are forcing Zhang Yang to death!" Soong Mei-ling said sternly.
He Yingqin said in a slight sense: "People from all walks of life communicated with each other and asked for a confrontation. I did this for the safety of the Commissioner."
Soong Mei-ling said: "Retreat immediately and do not bomb Xi'an again."
Song Ziwen also said: "Minister He, what do you mean? Can you do whatever you want if the Commissioner is not here?"
Seeing that they were coming in full force, He Yingqin said perfunctorily: "I understand, please reply, I will notify you in time if there is any news."
Soong Mei-ling turned around with a cold face, and her high heels knocked out a string of notes on the marble floor. Soong Ziwen and Chen Zikun also followed.
In the car, Song Ziwen said: "He Yingqin will definitely not withdraw his troops. I know this person."
Soong Mei-ling said: "I know, I don't expect a few words to suppress him. Doing this is just a shocking moment to make him understand our firm attitude. Zikun, thank you this time. Without you, we can't even get into the conference room."
Chen Zikun said: "It should be."
Soong Mei-ling said: "In your opinion, will the little guy take serious action this time?"
Chen Zikun said: "You know Hanqing's temper too. No one can persuade him when the eldest young master's temper comes up. The students of Northeastern University are all his heart. The commissioner said he wanted to shoot with a machine gun, just to force him with words. Hanqing's eyes were very wrong that day."
"Why is it wrong?" Song Ziwen interrupted.
"He also had the same look when he killed Yang Yuting," said Chen Zikun.
After a silence, Soong Mei-ling said: "If Zhongzheng had three longs and two shorts, what would we do?"
Song Ziwen said: "Wang Jingwei will come back to take charge of the overall situation, but the military power is in the hands of He Yingqin. They don't buy each other. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi from Guangxi will definitely not be idle. Chen Jitang, the unemployed southern king of Hong Kong, will also come back. Xinjiang has become a big deal for the Soviets. The Japanese intensify their invasion of North China. Song Zheyuan will not receive central support and will only invest in Japan and be the next Puyi. In short, China is in unprecedented chaos. No one can control the situation. In the end, it can only afford the Japanese."
Soong Mei-ling said: "I am not referring to this, I am referring to the Song family."
"Song family?" Song Ziwen smiled, "How can there be a complete egg after the nest is destroyed? China has all died. So what else is the Song family? We all moved to the United States or Hong Kong and make a living in the apartment."
Chen Zikun said: "Don't they understand this possibility?"
Song Ziwen said: "Everyone understands, the Soviet Union understands, ** understands, Zhang Yang understands, He Yingqin understands, everyone understands this possibility, but they all think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For **, they can survive and take the opportunity to grow stronger. For He Yingqin, it is an excellent time to stand out. How did the commissioner start? He Yingqin is very clear. He feels that he can completely replicate this success. As for Zhang Yang, it is forced to have no way out. No matter how bad it is, it will not be bad."
Chen Zikun was silent for a while and said, "The commissioner cannot die. The only solution now is through Han Qing's hands. Han Qing is straightforward in doing things, can do great good things, and can do bad things. In short, his choices are always unexpected. To put it bluntly, Han Qing is a donkey, and he has to follow the hair, but who will be the one who picks the hair?"
"I." Soong Mei-ling said calmly, "Only I can do it. Hanqing has a close personal relationship with me, and he will listen to me."
"No!" Song Ziwen said, "The situation in Xi'an is too complicated. With Hanqing's prestige, you can't control the situation at all. With ** and the Northwest Army, the generals of the Northeast Army may not listen to him. Once you go, there will be no one in Nanjing who restricts He Yingqin and cannot go."
Soong Mei-ling said: "If I don't go, Chung-zheng will die. The Song family has come to this day and cannot fail. I have to you."
Chen Zikun said: "I agree, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son? If Brother Ziwen is not at ease, I will accompany my wife to Xi'an."
Song Ziwen said: "Forget it, I'll go too. My friendship with Hanqing is no less than you. Let's work together to play the emotional card and let Hanqing release people. However, how to solve the problem of the plane, the military plane is controlled by He Yingqin."
Chen Zikun said: "I have a Douglas, and I'll go with my private plane."
...
Zhang Xueliang's special plane, a Boeing 247 landed at Xi'an Airport. A man with a medium figure and a black Zhongshan suit got off the plane, with two thick eyebrows and a curly beard, which was quite ancient.
Yang Hucheng stepped forward and shook hands: "Mr. Zhou, you are finally here, I am eager to see you."
Zhou Enlai said: "General Yang, I brought the delegation to the ** delegation to peacefully resolve the Xi'an issue. No matter what major changes occur, we will stand on your side and General Zhang."
Yang Hucheng smiled and said, "Please."
Zhou Enlai was graceful: "General Yang asked."
The place to stay in Xi'an had already been arranged. As soon as he settled down, Zhou Enlai asked someone to buy a box of Gillette shaving blades on the street. He wiped his bearded with soap foam and cleaned his beard. He suddenly changed from a heroic beard to a handsome handsome man.
When Yang Hucheng brought Zhang Xueliang to him again, he almost recognized him: "Who are you?"
Zhou Enlai smiled and said, "If you shave your beard, you won't recognize it? I originally planned to shave this beard after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. This time, Zhang and Yang resolutely launched a rebellion. The establishment of the anti-Japanese united front is just around the corner. As long as we Chinese people unite, it will only be a matter of time to drive away Japan."
"Well said." Zhang Xueliang looked at his watch, "It's still time, so why not go see the chairman now."
...
"I won't negotiate with **!" Chiang Kai-shek was furious. Since launching the April 12th Qing Communist Party, more than 100,000 people have been killed. The enemy with deep blood hatred has come to visit him as a prisoner. What kind of good words can he have?
But it was not up to him to see him now. Representative Zhou Enlai still walked in with a smile: "Hello, Principal."
Seeing that the other party was polite, Chiang Kai-shek said with a reserved attitude: "Oh, it's Enlai."
