Chapter 0275: The Battle of War and Peace
The first "soldier" object selected by the Three Musketeers was, of course, Yang Hucheng and the senior officers of the Northwest Army beside him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The location of the first "military admonition" was the Yang Mansion in Xincheng, where the Shaanxi Appeasement Office was located.
On the afternoon of that day, in order to make ideological preparations for the formal signing of the Tongguan Agreement, Yang Hucheng was analyzing the situation with the generals of the 17th Route Army in the Yang Mansion in Xi'an New Town and discussing countermeasures after the Tongguan Agreement.
Suddenly, the door of the living room of the Yang Mansion was pushed open, and Sun Mingjiu, Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, He Jinghua, Lu Guangji and others took the lead and led dozens of Northeast military camp and regiment-level officers to flock over.
The people who came claimed to be the appeal team, and they crowded into the meeting room to petition Yang Hucheng.
"Director Yang, when Deputy Commander Zhang was leaving, he ordered our Northeast Army to listen to your command, and now Deputy Commander Zhang has been detained for a long time and has not returned, and the leaders of the Northeast Army are indifferent, each seeking personal gain, we have all followed Deputy Commander Zhang for many years, and now everyone signs to show their hearts, please Director Yang command us, go to Tongguan to fight to the death, and let the Central Committee immediately release the deputy commander back!"
Sun Mingjiu, the leader, was impassioned, spoke out, and as he spoke, he put a large piece of paper covered with the signatures of the officers on Yang Hucheng's desk.
The uninvited officers of the Young Zhuang faction of the Northeast Army said one after another: "The young marshal must be rescued, and we will never agree to the Tongguan agreement reached between several commanders of the Northeast Army and Chiang Kai-shek in private, even if the young marshal returns and orders us to disarm, and now we must not disregard the safety of the young marshal and reach an agreement with Chiang Kai-shek." ”
As he spoke, Sun Mingjiu couldn't help but burst into tears, and later he actually cried.
Behind Sun Mingjiu, dozens of people such as Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, Lu Guangji, Huang Guannan, etc., couldn't help but burst into tears and sadness, and there was crying everywhere in the Yang Mansion, and the scene was extremely tragic.
In such an atmosphere, first of all, Yang Hucheng's wife, Xie Baozhen, couldn't help but cry with these officers.
Then, the generals and colonels of the 17th Route Army who were present could not help but burst into tears, and the entire Shaanxi Pacification Office was full of howling cries inside and out.
This cry made Yang Hucheng feel in a dilemma.
Yang Hucheng was originally wandering between 'peace' and 'war', fighting, the current situation of the Northwest Army, without that capital, he didn't dare to take risks, he didn't fight, the Xi'an incident brought to the current situation, and the person who ended up the worst was himself.
can't sit still, this is not his Yang Hucheng's character.
Looking at Sun Mingjiu, who was crying, Yang Hucheng suddenly realized that Sun Mingjiu, the warrior in front of him who had opposed Jiang and arrested Jiang, would also become the biggest victim of peace like himself, and a sense of sympathy for the same disease couldn't help but come to his heart.
Thinking of this, Yang Hucheng was also excited, since the morale of the Northeast Army is so high and everyone wants to fight, then why should I, Yang someone, be stupid, why should I come forward to suppress this passion of the Northeast Army?
If the Northeast Army wants to fight, why don't I, Yang Hucheng, push the boat down the river and let them fight with the Central Army?
In case someone asks about it, it is the Northeast Army itself that actively asks for battle, not someone else who instigates the brothers of the Northeast Army to shed blood and sacrifice.
Therefore, in a tragic atmosphere, Yang Hucheng made a decision on the spot and adopted the proposal of the Young Zhuang faction of the Northeast Army to fight a battle first and then negotiate peace.
The young Zhuang faction of the Northeast Army, a difficult hurdle, broke through like this.
After crying, the warriors of the "Three Musketeers" ushered in the joy of winning the first battle. Their morale was greatly boosted, they were jubilant, and they decided to go down to the CCP again!
The young Zhuang faction knew that if the CCP was solved, their own side of the trinity would be able to master the second, so that it would not be difficult to force the stubborn veteran faction of the Northeast Army to submit.
In order to increase the pressure on Wang Yizhe, He Zhuguo and others, the young Zhuang faction naturally has to borrow the strength of the CCP, if the old faction continues to be stubborn at that time, then it is no wonder that we are ruthless.
Sure enough, the "Three Musketeers" Sun Mingjiu, Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, He Jinghua and others returned from the Yang Mansion to petition, and then led the team to the residence of the delegation of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
At this time, Vice Chairman Zhou, Bo Gu, Ye Jianying, Liu Ding and others of the CPC delegation were also in a meeting, and the Shaozhuang faction also broke in without even saying hello.
The Three Musketeers took the lead, kneeling and crying in front of Vice Chairman Zhou, Ye Jianying and others.
They had only one purpose, the Red Army must promise to send troops to help them fight, defeat the Central Army, and save General Zhang Xueliang back.
Sure enough, the Three Musketeers are counting their words, and today they really came to fulfill yesterday's promise of "giving a military advice to Chief of Staff Ye"!
After Sun Mingjiu and the others knelt down and cried for a while, they turned to a normal dialogue.
The first to speak was still Sun Mingjiu, don't think he was a big boss, he was actually very smart, when he met Yang Hucheng, he openly asked for battle, he knew that Yang Hucheng was in favor of a war between the Northeast Army and the Central Army in his heart.
Sun Mingjiu knew that the current delegation of the CPC Central Committee was in favor of peace and was in favor of signing the Tongguan Agreement, and he knew very well in his heart that here in the CPC, we should not talk about waging war against the Central Army, but should instead talk about how to implement the Tongguan Agreement.
So, Sun Mingjiu opened his mouth and asked: "We insist on letting General Zhang come back first, and then withdraw our troops from Weinan, does your delegation agree?" ”
In the face of this kind of scene, the leaders of the CCP all looked serious and refused to express their stance lightly.
Seeing that the Red Army did not reply immediately, on the side of the Shaozhuang faction, the negotiator Ying Detian generously appeared.
The major general of the Political Department of the Northeast Army Headquarters obviously understands strategy better, and he also does not directly talk about the issue of fighting, but talks about the special feelings between Major Marshal Zhang and the Northeast Army.
"Our Northeast Army is different from the Red Army, it is a group with the young commander as the only center, and with the deputy commander in his presence, this group can be maintained; If the deputy commander does not return, the group will lose its center and may soon become divided, dissolved, disintegrated, and disintegrated.
At this critical juncture, for the sake of the future of the Northeast Army, we must first rescue the deputy commander, and if we do not persist in fighting for it now and withdraw our troops without asking the deputy commander to come back, it will be tantamount to telling Nanjing that the Northeast Army and the Trinity have already given up the deputy commander, and if that is the case, the deputy commander will never be able to return. ”
Ying Detian is really worthy of being a student studying at the University of Michigan, a prestigious university in the United States, and he really has sufficient reasons and eloquence.
Speaking of this, Ying Detian himself was also very satisfied, and he felt that he was fully qualified to speak on behalf of the entire Northeast Army.
"Now, except for two or three army commanders in the Northeast Army, all of them have such views and such propositions! Director Yang of the 17th Route Army would also agree with such a proposition.
For the sake of the future of the Northeast Army, the future of the Trinity, the future of the Joint War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the future of Deputy Commander Zhang, we hope that the Red Army will understand our hearts and resolutely support the proposition of demanding that the deputy commander come back and resolutely support the proposition that the deputy commander will never withdraw his troops if he does not return.
We must not fall for Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy, abandon Deputy Commander Zhang under the threat of his oppression, and fall into the result of the defeat of the united anti-Japanese resistance and the Trinity, in case Chiang Kai-shek launches a civil war and attacks us, please also ask the Red Army to work together to defeat them. ”
Ying Detian hoped that the Red Army would understand Deputy Commander Zhang's heart and resolutely support the proposition of asking the deputy commander to come back, and resolutely support the proposition that the deputy commander would never withdraw his troops until he returned.
In judging Chiang Kai-shek, the Three Musketeers unanimously agreed that there was no risk of civil war in fighting it.
They may not know that at this time in Tongguan, the commander-in-chief who planned to attack Xi'an was not Gu Zhutong or Xu Tingyao, but Chen Cheng, who had been detained in the Xijing Guest House a month earlier.
At this time, Chen Cheng was holding back his stomach of grievances, he was trying to swallow the Northeast and Northwest Armies in one bite, and let out the evil anger of humiliation suffered in the Xi'an Incident!
It was only because it was during the Tongguan negotiations that Chen Cheng did not dare to act rashly to sabotage the peace talks.
There is another situation, the Three Musketeers are not clear, Liu Handong, the commander of the 107th Division of the Northeast Army, is Chen Cheng's old classmate, and he is by Chen Cheng's side at this time, helping to give advice.
Since the Central Army broke through Tongguan and drove straight into the Weihe Plain, the 107th Division of the Northeast Army, which was originally under the command of Liu Handong, had existed in name only at this time.
Chen Cheng is waiting for an opportunity!
