In 1937, the radio station in the basement of the Waseda University library began to get busy, because since the radio station was set up, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a large number of personnel from the "Sakura Society" to China in various capacities.

Every day, a steady stream of information from Shanghai, Nanjing, and Xi'an converges to Ryuichi Hiraoka.

On this day, Feng Chen handed over a telegram from Nanjing and a long telegram from Xi'an to Ryuichi Hiraoka, who pointed to the sofa and asked Feng Chen to sit down, while he began to immerse himself in translating the telegram.

Feng Chen added water to Ryuichi Hiraoka's teacup, poured himself another cup of tea, sat on the sofa, and waited for Ryuichi Hiraoka to translate the message.

After a while, Hiraoka Ryuichi finished translating the message, raised his head and looked at Feng Chen and said, "Feng Sang, that Li Shiqun has taken the bait." ”

"Oh? Poppies are doing well. Feng Chen said.

"Their father and daughter have set up a secret radio station near the headquarters of the agents of the KMT Investigation Bureau, which is more conducive to concealment." Ryuichi Hiraoka said.

"I'm afraid that Li Shiqun's wife will find out there, she will find out that the poppies are still in contact with Li Shiqun, and if she finds that place, the radio station may be exposed." Feng Chen reminded.

"Well, there is some truth in your worries, the next time you generate electricity, remind Poppies to go with Li Shi**, pay more attention, don't let Ye Jiqing be corrupt." Hiraoka Ryuichi instructed.

"Teacher, what's the news from Poppy?" Feng Chen asked casually, seemingly unintentionally.

"Wang Yizhe, commander of the 67th Army of the Northeast Army, was killed, the Northeast Army is currently leaderless, and Yang Hucheng cannot control the Northeast Army. Ryuichi Hiraoka said.

"Oh? Wang Yizhe was killed? Who did this to you? Chiang Kai-shek? Feng Chen asked.

"Hehe, it wasn't Chiang Kai-shek who did it, it was infighting, this hard-line anti-Japanese element, and finally fell under the guns of his subordinates."

Ryuichi Hiraoka put his hands together in his hair and leaned comfortably back in his chair, as if this information made him very happy.

Feng Chen thought, how could the Northeast Army have infighting?

It seems that Chiang Kai-shek detained Zhang Xueliang in Nanjing, this move is vicious!

"Teacher, could it be that killing Wang Yizhe is also part of our fishing plan?" Feng Chen saw the clue from Hiraoka Ryuichi's demeanor.

"Hehe, Feng Sang, you finally understand, in the near future, Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army will cease to exist, and at the very least, it will be torn apart." Hiraoka Ryuichi smiled and nodded, very proud.

It seems that Wang Yizhe's death is a huge conspiracy!

……

After the Xi'an Incident was peacefully resolved, Zhang Xueliang ignored the dissuasion of the CCP and his cronies and subordinates, and personally sent Lao Jiang back to Nanjing, and was immediately put under house arrest by Dai Li's people.

In January 1937, the Nanjing Military Court tried Zhang Xueliang on charges of being the head of a cabal group, using brutal coercion against leaders, and killing government officials.

The final sentence was 10 years' imprisonment.

Although Chiang Kai-shek's "Letter of Appeal" was granted a pardon and 10 years in prison, it still had to be handed over to the military committee for strict control, and the hope of real freedom was completely slim.

Then, the Nanking government announced an order:

revoke the Northwest Bandit Suppression General Headquarters and remove Zhang Xueliang from his post;

dismissed Shao Lizi, chairman of the Shaanxi provincial government;

Yang Hucheng and Yu Xuezhong were both removed from their posts and retained;

Gu Zhutong was appointed as the director of the Xi'an camp of the Military Commission;

appointed Sun Weiru as Chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government;

dismissed Zhu Shaoliang's director of Lanzhou appeasement;

appointed Wang Shuchang as the director of Lanzhou appeasement;

Feng Qinzai was appointed commander-in-chief of the 17th Route Army.

Yu Xuezhong secretly expressed his allegiance to Nanjing after the Xi'an Incident, but because his 51st Army played an important role in the Lanzhou Incident, he was removed from his post and retained in office.

Sun Weiru was originally loyal to General Yang Hucheng, but then at the instigation of Yang Qutong, he suggested that Yang Hucheng rescue Chiang Kai-shek by force, and this matter was reported to Lao Chiang, so he was promoted to chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government.

It turned out that the commander-in-chief of the 17th Route Army was Yang Hucheng, and Feng Qinya did not want to be said to be the one who grabbed his brother's power, so Nanjing reappointed Feng Qinya as the commander-in-chief of the 27th Route Army, and Sun Weiru was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the 38th Army.

In this way, Yang Hucheng was deprived of the command of the Northwest Army, and the Northwest Army had in fact been decomposed, and the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army had to obey Gu Zhutong's orders.

When the news of Zhang Xueliang's 10-year prison sentence reached Xi'an, there was an uproar in Xi'an.

Trying to rescue Zhang Xueliang became the common desire of the participants in the Xi'an Incident, and the voices of officers at all levels of the Northeast Army were particularly strong, especially the officers of the Shaozhuang faction.

Zhang Xueliang usually acts as a righteous person, and he attaches great importance to the self-proclaimed "Three Musketeers" such as Ying Detian, the director of the Political Training Department, Sun Mingjiu, the commander of the Guards Battalion, and Miao Jianqiu, the confidential secretary, as well as He Jinghua and other young Zhuang factions.

Since Zhang Xueliang sent Lao Jiang away, these young Zhuang factions feel that the days with Zhang Xueliang and the days without Zhang Xueliang are very different.

I think that day, as the cronies around the young marshal, the army commanders and division commanders below regarded them as the representatives of the young marshal, who dared not greet them with a smile?

According to the situation at the time of the incident, it would not be long before the Northeast Army would change its dynasty and its commanders, and all the army commanders and division commanders would have to change their names and surnames.

Unexpectedly, what the Shaozhuang faction didn't expect was that the incident became the scene it is today, and Zhang Shaoshuai was arrested and sentenced!

On the days without Zhang Xueliang, Ying Detian and them immediately found out that it was a double heaven of fire and water, and no one took them seriously anymore, and a terrible sense of loss shrouded the head of the "Three Musketeers".

According to the assumptions of Ying Detian, Sun Mingjiu, Miao Jianqiu, He Jinghua and other young people, the most important task for the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, and the Red Army was to immediately launch an attack on the Central Army and capture Nanjing all the way to rescue Zhang Shaoshuai.

For this reason, they felt that it was necessary to include the "Trinity" in the "fundamental plan to save Zhang by force" at all costs!

They had conceived about the question of how to obtain military command, and later, when they heard that Lao Chiang had pardoned Zhang Xueliang, they breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily canceled their strong desire for a military offensive.

But waiting left and right, but Zhang Xueliang never came back.

Sun Mingjiu and others are young people after all, and they think that the only way to force Chiang Kai-shek to change his mind and put Zhang Xueliang back is to fight-for-tat!

Angry shouts, strong protests, and brave battles can hurt the Nanjing side and force Lao Chiang to submit, but the Young Zhuang faction has illusions but no way, ambition but no real ability, and they cannot become the mainstream force.

In fact, the CCP leadership Vice Chairman Zhou, Yang Hucheng, Wang Yizhe, He Zhuguo, etc., are the mainstream aspects of rescuing Zhang Xueliang, but there is an evolution process in terms of how to rescue Zhang Xueliang's strategy.

Vice Chairman Zhou, Yang Hucheng, Wang Yizhe, He Zhuguo, etc., had a clear understanding at the beginning, and they all knew that when Zhang Xueliang sent Lao Jiang back to Nanjing, it was originally a sheep to send a tiger's mouth, and basically there was no return.

When Vice Chairman Zhou of the Communist Party of China couldn't catch up with Zhang Xueliang at the airport, he regretted it and was a step too late!

And the experienced Yang Hucheng, Wang Yizhe, He Zhuguo and others finally persuaded Zhang Xueliang to return to Xi'an as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, if Zhang Xueliang insisted on going his own way and continued to send Jiang to Nanjing, then the hope of coming back would be slim.

As expected, Zhang Xueliang was placed under house arrest by Lao Jiang, the news came, Yang Hucheng and Wang Yizhe were all anxious, Yang Hucheng knew that he had to live and die with the Northeast Army but he couldn't lead the Northeast Army, and he urgently needed Zhang Xueliang even more.

Wang Yizhe, He Zhuguo and others believed that if Zhang Xueliang did not come back, the Northeast Army would very likely collapse, so the top priority was to rescue the young marshal as much as possible.

However, at this time, whether or not to release Zhang Xueliang's initiative was already in the hands of Lao Chiang in Nanjing, and the northwest side had almost nothing to do except use peaceful means to persuade him.

It must be known that the disparity in military strength is too great, and before that, the Northeast and Northwest armies had been attacked by a division of the 46th Army of the Central Army, and they were defeated and retreated one after another, and they had no ability to resist.

In the face of a 46th Army, this is still the case, let alone the entire Central Army? The Shaozhuang faction threatened to go to Nanjing through the war and rescue Zhang Shaoshuai, could it be a madman's dream?
