?Zhang Xueliang finally didn't take out the silver dollar. He silently returned to the mansion and stared at the desolate scenery outside the window. The winter in the northwest was different from his hometown, and seemed to be even more lonely. The snow had melted, the branches were bare, and the everywhere was gray. "　"

At this moment, he was confused and had no idea where to go. All he had to put in front of him was a dead end. However, if he did not initiate military advice, he would be a pool of stagnant water. At least he could break through the dead end. If he threw the dead end into it, there would be no sound.

Suddenly, noisy sound came from downstairs, and sorghum stalks came upstairs: "Report, 57th Army, some brothers from 67th Army want to meet with the deputy seat."

Zhang Xueliang hurried downstairs. When he stood at the entrance of the stairs, he saw that the hall was full of young officers from the Northeast Army, one by one, was full of fierce and tense.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Xueliang was so energetic that he glanced at everyone from a high position. Since the Northeast Army entered the pass, his young marshal's prestige has become worse day by day.

A major said, "Second post, we are holding our heads for you, why didn't we even get a signature in the end?"

"If you don't sign, you will never let Chiang Kai-shek go!" a group of young officers echoed.

"You don't understand. This is called a gentleman agreement. Forcing Chiang to sign will only backfire." Zhang Xueliang explained patiently, but the officers did not buy it at all. The Northeastern man believed in the truth and did all the big things. He either signed and made a big decision or died in a grand battle. How could he admit defeat if he didn't understand it?

They were tough, and Zhang Xueliang was tough, but Yu Fengzhi came out to persuade the officers for a long time before he persuaded the officers to go back.

Zhang Xueliang was exhausted and fell on the sofa and closed his eyes. A scene from his childhood suddenly appeared in his mind. His father rode a horse and took him on the snow field. Under his furry dog-skin hat, he was young and resolute, and he rode his horse and whipped his whip and aroused his grudges. His father lived a life of no cowardice.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xueliang suddenly felt extremely peaceful. He knew what to do. He was the mastermind of the military admonition. So let himself bear the consequences on his shoulders.

He hurried upstairs and entered the study room, wrote a text message, and handed it to his wife, saying, "After I leave, I will give this to Yang Hucheng."

Yu Fengzhi asked in surprise: "What are you going to do?"

"I won't be in trouble." Zhang Xueliang answered the question irrelevantly, put on a military cap, tidy up, and went out to board the bus: "Go to Gao Mansion."

Chiang Kai-shek and others were having lunch, and Zhang Xueliang came in and said, "Madam, Chairman, Xueliang will send you back to Nanjing."

The sudden good news made everyone unable to believe their ears. Soong Mei-ling stood up and said, "Hanqing, you..."

Zhang Xueliang smiled and said, "You can eat, let's talk about it after the meal."

Chiang Kai-shek shook his mouth: "Eat it."

Song Ziwen also said: "It's time to eat, so let's go now."

Two cars drove everyone to the airport. Chen Zikun's DC-3 had already been filled with fuel and parked on the runway. Zhang Xueliang personally sent Chiang Kai-shek and his wife to the plane, pulled up the gangway, and said to the adjutant Gao Liangzhan below: "I will accompany the commission to Nanjing, you can go back by yourself."

Sorghum stalk was shocked: "Second post, you must not!"

Zhang Xueliang closed the hatch door, and the plane engine had already started to rotate. He turned around, faced Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling calmly, found a seat and sat down.

...

Yu Fengzhi was worried and took Zhang Xueliang's letter to the Northwest Pacification Office. After reading the letter, Yang Hucheng shouted, "Hanqing is just a trap!"

Everyone was shocked, and Yang Hucheng said with a calm face: "Come to pick up the delegation for me, hurry!"

Zhou Enlai was very shocked when he received the call and drove to the airport immediately. After arriving, he saw Yang Hucheng sighing and a plane hovering over the airport. It must be that Zhang Xueliang was saying goodbye to everyone.

"I still couldn't keep Han Qing." Yang Hucheng said sadly and sighed deeply. "Before he left a letter, he handed me over the command of the Northeast Army. It seems that he doesn't plan to come back."

Zhou Enlai remained silent for a long time, feeling lost. When Chiang Kai-shek left, he was like letting a tiger return to the mountain. Xi'an was in danger, northern Shaanxi was in danger, and ** was in danger.

The plane disappeared into the vast sky, and Zhou Enlai sighed at the end: "Hanqing, be so arrogant..." He got on the bus and left helplessly, and the airport returned to peace, and only the weeds swayed in the wind.

In the cockpit of the DC-3, Chen Zikun asked Zhang Xueliang, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Hanqing, have you thought it through clearly? It's still time to fly back."

Zhang Xueliang said: "You told me the day before yesterday that there are only two endings if the commissioner does not sign. I have thought about it. In fact, there is a third ending. This matter has arisen because of me. Let me end it alone. If the commissioner does not sign, it is because he is afraid of losing face. I will accompany him back to Nanjing in person and let him give him enough face to the leader. Even if I am cut into pieces, it doesn't matter."

Chen Zikun was silent for a long time before saying, "Hanqing, you are a hero."

Zhang Xueliang smiled self-deprecatingly: "Before September 18th, I was a playboy. After September 18th, I was a general who did not resist. I really dare not be the title of hero. If I go to Nanjing to plead guilty, all this may be resolved successfully. If I stay in Xi'an, there may not be a good result. I will go this way, it is completely forced."

In the cabin, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling sat together with their fingers tightly. Soong Ziwen looked at the porthole from time to time, for fear that the expulsion machine would chase after him.

After flying all the way to Luoyang, the Central Army's fighter plane came to pick him up. Chiang Kai-shek felt relieved. The DC-3 landed at the Luoyang military airport, refueled for maintenance, and stayed overnight. During this period, Chiang Kai-shek frequently contacted Nanjing telegrams and flew directly to Nanjing early the next morning.

Finally arrived at the Nanjing Daxiaochang Airport. At Chiang Kai-shek's instruction, foreign journalists, central officials and social wise men in Beijing all came to the airport to welcome him. A red carpet was also laid on the runway. The show was not like a meat ticket to return home, but rather like a hero returning triumphantly.

The cabin door opened, and Chiang Kai-shek, dressed in military uniform, came out of the radiant look, smiling and calm, and the spotlight suddenly turned on. If the military police hadn't stopped him, the reporters would have pounced on him and asked questions.

When Chiang Kai-shek got off the plane, his steps were not as agile as usual, and he had a hand tent in his hand. He fell and injured his back when he jumped from the window of the Huaqing Pool, and could not straighten his waist. However, no one paid attention to this detail. The civil and military officials lined up and shook hands with the chairman.

"Respect me, thank you for your hard work these days." Chiang Kai-shek shook hands with He Yingqin cordially, without any unpleasant expression on his face. He Yingqin, who was guilty, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Chiang Kai-shek did not intend to settle the score with him.

The last person who got off the plane was Zhang Xueliang, the culprit of the Xi'an Incident, which immediately caused a sensation on the scene. The reporters surrounded him and said that he had sent the committee seat back to Beijing. The specific details will be explained at the press conference.

...

Chen Zikun did not show off with them, but quietly left the airport and returned to his house in Nanjing. Liu Ting had been waiting for a long time. Seeing him coming back, she stepped forward to take her coat and said, "The newspaper said in the morning that you were going to come back, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"The news is quite well-informed. What reactions do all sectors of society react when they learn that the chairman has escaped from danger?" Chen Zikun asked.

"No matter whether left or right, I seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that everyone's position is consistent in the face of national justice."

"It seems that Hanqing's choice is correct, and if he drags on, he will not be good for him."

"Even if Zhang Xueliang releases Chiang Kai-shek, he must bear the consequences he has caused. Although our commissioner cannot be called vengeful, he has never been ruthless to those who violate the dignity of the leader, such as Shi Liangcai..." Liu Ting sneered.

Chen Zikun trapped himself in the sofa, lit a cigarette, and said leisurely: "Hanqing came back with us."

Liu Ting was a little surprised and then reacted: "This seems to be the best solution. Sacrifice him alone in exchange for Chiang Kai-shek's leadership dignity and the security of the Northeast Army. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xueliang was such a responsible and courageous man."

Chen Zikun smiled bitterly and said, "Hanqing has been a turtle who has shrunk his head. In this life, he has done something beautiful before he can do beating women to smoke big cigarettes and ruin his ancestral property. It's time for mankind."

Liu Ting said: "If it is not surprising, the next few days will be very lively."

Chen Zikun said, "What a lively way?"

Liu Ting smiled but said nothing.

Soon, Chiang Kai-shek held a press conference and said that Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were inspired by his great personality. Pan Ran regretted and felt heartbroken. The Xi'an Incident had been successfully resolved. The commissioners did not answer other questions such as whether to fulfill their promises and stop the civil war and fight against Japan.

At the same time, the leader of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi issued a statement saying that Chiang Kai-shek could leave Xi'an safely, and that **'s mediation played a great role and urged Chiang Kai-shek to fulfill his promise.

**The Northern Bureau issued the "Declaration on Peaceful Resolution of the Xi'an Incident", clarifying that the incident has nothing to do with **, and requested the people of the whole country to demand that the Nanjing authorities stop suppressing the Communist Party.

Xi'an sent telegrams to urge Zhang Xueliang to return, but at this time, Zhang Xueliang had been taken to the military court. After only two days of trial, he hurriedly sentenced that "Zhang Xueliang was the first to plot against the party and reduced the prison sentence to 10 years and deprived of his public rights for 5 years for Shangguan's atrocities and coercion."

As soon as the news came out, the northwest shocked, and all the soldiers of the Northeast Army were infuriated. The young marshal gave his life to Beijing, but in return he had such a result. Chiang Kai-shek was really unkind and unrighteous!

The Red Army in northern Shaanxi has begun to prepare for war.

Four days later, a dramatic scene appeared. The National Government issued a special amnesty order, and Zhang Xueliang was merciless and was pardoned for ten years in prison, and was sentenced to the Military Commission for strict supervision.

Xi'an has hope again and looks forward to it, but Zhang Xueliang did not come, but the Central Army came. The leaderless Northeast Army had no ability to resist. At the moment of survival, Nanjing issued a telegram: the Northwest Bandit Suppression General Command was abolished.

This was on January 5, 1937, when the Nanjing government and Chiang Kai-shek finally took the first step to stop the civil war.

Chen Zikun and Song Ziwen went to visit Zhang Xueliang and showed him the newspaper. Song Ziwen patted his shoulder and said, "Hanqing, you are the one who turns the tide. You are a great hero. I will accompany you back to Xi'an in two days."

"I'll take one of my money, I'll take you back from the plane." Chen Zikun smiled.
