There is a Catholic church in Qiaoergou at the foot of Qingliang Mountain in Fushi City, where the talks between Major Marshal Zhang Xueliang and Vice Chairman Zhou and others were held.

The talks were held in extreme secrecy, and only Vice Chairman Zhou, Li Kenong, An Zhida, Zhang Xueliang, Wang Yizhe, and Liu Ding took part in the talks.

It was a historic meeting.

Because Vice Chairman Zhou had studied in Shenyang, at the beginning of the talks, Vice Chairman Zhou warmly shook Zhang Xueliang's hand and said, "I grew up in Northeast China. ”

Zhang Xueliang said: "I know this, I heard my teacher Zhang Boling talk about it. ”

"What, Zhang Boling is also your teacher?" Vice Chairman Zhou was surprised.

Zhang Xueliang said with a smile: "In the past, I smoked a lot of cigarettes and took morphine, but I quit after listening to Zhang Boling's advice, and since then I have worshipped Mr. Zhang as my teacher. It seems that we are kind of fellow teachers. ”

After a burst of laughter, the conversation began to get to the point.

Zhang Xueliang first frankly recounted the process of his own ideological transformation.

"After I returned from Europe, I wholeheartedly supported the dictatorship of Chiang Kai-shek and believed that fascism could save China.

However, after several years of practical observation and the conversations and advice of my friends, especially Mr. Li Kenong and Mr. Liu Ding's thorough analysis of the current situation, I believe that my thinking is wrong.

In today's China, we must practice civil rights in order to awaken the people, and we must not give up the 40 years of revolutionary experience of joining Russia, accommodating the Communist Party, and supporting the peasants and workers.

However, on the issue of winning Chiang Kai-shek's participation in the anti-Japanese front, I have different views from you, and I have already talked with Mr. Li Kenong in Luochuan, but we have not been able to reach an agreement, so I specially invited Mr. Zhou to talk to him in person. ”

After hearing this, Vice Chairman Zhou said: "Okay, if you have more contact, the two sides will understand and understand each other more." ”

Next, the two sides held talks on a series of issues.

Vice Chairman Zhou proposed the establishment of a broad anti-Japanese national united front, and strive for the participation of all forces that can be won over, so that everyone can jointly resist Japan.

Zhang Xueliang was very frank, and he said unabashedly: "Mr. Zhou, since the anti-Japanese national united front wants to win all the forces that can be won to participate, should Chiang Kai-shek be included?" ”

"As long as Chiang Kai-shek abandons the policy of shutting down the outside world and the people first, and gives up his anti-communist and anti-people, of course, he can also be won over to join the anti-Japanese united front." Vice Chairman Zhou replied.

"Mr. Zhou, Chiang Kai-shek is the de facto ruler of China now, and if we launch a war of resistance against Japan, it will be very difficult if we don't win him over." Zhang Xueliang said worriedly.

"Oh, tell me, if you don't win over Chiang Kai-shek, what are the difficulties?" Vice Chairman Zhou looked at Zhang Xueliang with wise and profound eyes.

"If we don't win him over, he will inevitably oppose us, and he can even crusade against us in the name of the central government, I know Chiang Kai-shek's temper, and for his own sake, he will insist on going his own way to the end." Zhang Xueliang replied.

"The Chiang Kai-shek clique, whether militarily, politically, or economically, is indeed very powerful, and if the War of Resistance against Japan cannot win the participation of this clique, it will be a great loss; Winning it over will be beneficial to the War of Resistance Against Japan. ”

Vice Chairman Zhou very much agreed with Zhang Xueliang's proposal to win over Chiang Kai-shek.

"We, the Communist Party, were not reluctant to win over the strength of Chiang Kai-shek's clique to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance, just because he had always been anti-communist and anti-people, considering that it was unlikely to win it." Vice Chairman Zhou then explained.

"Mr. Zhou, you probably also know that I have a lot of contact with Chiang Kai-shek, and my relationship is also very close. As far as I know, Chiang Kai-shek had anti-Japanese thoughts and intentions, and the Japanese embarrassed him, and he also complained and hated him in his heart. As long as we earnestly strive for him, we can unite him into the anti-Japanese front. ”

Zhang Xueliang insisted on winning over Chiang Kai-shek.

Vice Chairman Zhou said: "Mr. Zhang, if we can win over the Chiang Kai-shek clique, such a force, to resist Japan and save the country, this is also what our Communist Party hopes very much. ”

"Hehe, it seems that Vice Chairman Zhou agrees with my suggestion?" Zhang Xueliang asked with a slight smile.

"Mr. Zhang, I haven't finished my words yet, as long as Chiang Kai-shek can give up suppressing the Communists, for the sake of the anti-Japanese plan, we can unite with him without blaming the past. But it is even more necessary to fight, and if we do not fight, we will be considered weak and bullied, and it is impossible to unite. ”

Vice Chairman Zhou put forward the preconditions for uniting Chiang Kai-shek.

"Mr. Zhou, if we can't win Chiang Kai-shek to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance, I am afraid that we will ...... by relying on our strength alone" Zhang Xueliang insisted that he must unite with Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan together.

"Mr. Zhang, the issue of uniting with the Chiang Kai-shek clique to resist Japan is related to the principles and policies of our CCP, and I personally cannot decide on my own, but I am willing to bring your opinions back and ask our Central Committee to seriously consider the decision before replying, do you think it is okay?"

Vice Chairman Zhou did not give a positive reply to Zhang Xueliang's proposal to unite with Chiang Kai-shek to jointly resist Japan, and Chiang Kai-shek did not give up the policy of fighting outside the country and first securing the interior, so there was no need to unite with him, and this was irreconcilable.

Seeing that Vice Chairman Zhou was very resolute on this point, Zhang Xueliang was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Zhou, I am waiting for your central decision. ”

"Mr. Zhang, when it is a matter of life and death for the nation, for the sake of the national plan and the anti-Japanese plan, I think we will eventually seek common ground while reserving differences, fight side by side, and resist Japan together!" Vice Chairman Zhou said confidently.

"Mr. Zhou, I look forward to this day coming soon!" Zhang Xueliang said.

……

It was drizzling outside the window and brightly lit inside.

The friendly talks between the two sides continued until the early hours of the next morning.

In the end, the representatives of the two sides sought common ground while reserving differences, were sincere and frank, and finally reached the following eight consensuses:

(1) On the issue of organizing a national defense government and an anti-Japanese coalition army.

Zhang Xueliang agreed that this was the only way out for China at that time, and said that he would wait until they were studied before putting forward his opinions on the 10 major political programs in the "August 1 Declaration."

(2) On the question of the concentration of the Red Army.

Zhang Xueliang promised to sponsor the Red Army to concentrate in Hebei; The Fourth Front Army went out of Gansu, and the Northeast Army could make way; As for the issue of the northward route of the Second and Fourth Front Armies, Zhang Xueliang was willing to help mediate because it had to pass through the Central Military Defense Area of the Kuomintang Party.

(3) The Northeast Army sent representatives to the Soviet Union via Europe; Representatives of the Chinese Communist Party were protected by Zhang Xueliang and traveled from Xinjiang to the Soviet Union.

(4) On the issue of stopping the civil war. Zhang Xueliang fully agreed, and said that once the Red Army came into contact with the Japanese army, the national armistice movement would be more powerful.

(5) Before Zhang Xueliang publicly stated that he was resisting Japan, he could not but accept Chiang Kai-shek's order to occupy the Soviet area. For this reason, Zhang prepared to use Wang Yizhe's army to enter the skin and build forts along the road, and the traffic between the two sides was still the same. After a month, we will see how the situation develops.

(6) On trade issues. Ordinary goods could be purchased by the Red Army in stores, military supplies were handled by Zhang Xueliang, and bullets could be supplied by Zhang Xueliang.

(7) The two sides shall send representatives to each other on permanent residence.

(8) Zhang believed that it would be unfavorable for the Red Army to go to Hebei, and it would be difficult for it to gain a foothold in Shanxi, so it would be better to go through Suiyuan. However, if the Red Army decided to leave Hebei, Zhang Ke informed Wan Fulin's troops not to obstruct it.

The talks were quite successful.

When Vice Chairman Zhou set out, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had already instructed not to argue with Zhang Xueliang on the issue of his attitude toward Chiang Kai-shek, but first to strive for an understanding with Zhang Xueliang on the issue of general cooperation.

Therefore, Vice Chairman Zhou was quite satisfied with being able to adopt such a roundabout compromise with Zhang Xueliang on the issue of Chiang, and the two sides reached an eight-point consensus.

After the negotiations, Vice Chairman Zhou and his entourage left Fushi and returned to Chuankou, and returned to Wayaobao the next day.

Through this meeting, Vice Chairman Zhou and Zhang Xueliang left a very deep impression on each other.

When Vice Chairman Zhou and Zhang Xueliang talked, on the passenger ship to Japan, Feng Chen and Ozaki Hidemi, in addition to playing Go, were together to exchange Chinese and Japanese culture.

Through a day of exchanges, Feng Chen and Ozaki Hidemi not only increased their mutual understanding, but also took a step forward in their friendship.

The next morning, the passenger ship was already sailing in Japanese waters.

In room 308 of the passenger ship, Feng Chen played a game of Go with Hidemi Ozaki, and then came to the deck together.

As soon as he landed on the deck, a familiar back met Feng Chen's eyes.
