Chapter 45 Mediation (Favorites, Recommendations)

Qin Hanqing doesn't say anything, one person, can't do everything, leave enough space and room for others to play, the backbone has been established, the details of the problem, let the Standing Committee members play a role.

These members of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee were very active in rushing to speak, perhaps in order to make up for the mistakes just now, they tried their best to behave in front of Song Meiling, trying to redeem the adverse effects just now, racking their brains, and offering suggestions one after another, only He Yingqinmu was expressionless and did not say a word, and Song Meiling listened carefully and magnanimously, showing the bearing that the first lady of the Republic of China should have.

The meeting of the Central Standing Committee finally decided to abandon the motion of armed crusade and send a special envoy to contact Zhang Yang to seek a peaceful solution, and the Xi'an Incident Decision-making Committee was formed by Soong Meiling, Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi, and 27 other members of the Central Standing Committee.

He Yingqin was excluded from the decision-making committee, at this time, he no longer had any capital to call the formation, the meeting of the Central Standing Committee was defeated, the ambition of the wolf son was also exposed, the minister of military affairs could not command the troops in the northwest to suppress the general, and there were no available troops at hand, he was really alone, and the situation was miserable.

After the Central Standing Committee meeting made a decision, the Xi'an Incident Decision-making Committee stepped up its action and decided to send its first special envoy to Xi'an to have face-to-face practical contact with Zhang Yang to see what kind of demands and conditions they put forward before making a decision.

Donald, an Australian national, was selected as the best candidate for special envoy, this journalist born in New South Wales, Australia, has spent his life in China, has sponsored China's Xinhai Revolution, and later became a guest secretary of the Beiyang government in Beijing.

He had a close personal relationship with the then young marshal Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueliang spoke fluent English, which was thanks to Donald's tireless teachings, and later, Zhang Shaoshuai changed banners in the northeast, Donald entered the Nanjing Nationalist Government, participated in the Nationalist Government, and participated in the Nationalist Government, as the political adviser of Chairman Chiang, and was also a friend of Chairman Chiang, and had a very close personal relationship.

It is most appropriate to have this person as a special envoy, but after telegraphing Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueliang also said that he would very much welcome Donald to come to Xi'an to discuss a proper solution to the Xi'an incident.

Immediately, Donald flew to Xi'an in his capacity as a political adviser to the Nanjing Nationalist Government, where he was ceremoniously welcomed by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, who brought a proposal from the Nanjing State Government to solicit Zhang Yang's conditions, and informed Zhang Yang that the Central Standing Committee had set up a decision-making committee to resolve the Xi'an Incident, and provided a list of committee members.

In order to have today's results, Nanjing and Xi'an can sit down and talk From Donald's words, it can be imagined that of course, the sinister situation at the meeting of the Central Standing Committee, Zhang Yang and the two are very grateful to Qin Lao in their hearts, and no one wants to see the situation of burning jade, although the two are ready to fight.

Donald offered to meet Chairman Jiang in person, and Zhang Yang readily agreed, and Zhang Xueliang personally accompanied him.

After Donald met Chairman Chiang, he presented a letter written by Madame Chiang herself, which contained a sentence: "At present, Nanjing is a drama within a play, and there is no shortage of people who use knives to kill people," and after reading Chairman Chiang's letter, he was silent and sat quietly for a long time.

With his shrewdness, it is not difficult to guess that it is the one who jumps up and down, gloating, impatient, and hoping that he will die at the hands of Zhang Yang, and as mentioned in his wife's letter, Qin Hanqing tried his best to turn the tide and save the situation from the general, so that there was a situation of today's negotiations, and Chairman Jiang was extremely moved.

At the beginning, he tried his best to ask Qin Hanqing to be a government official and entrust him with the important task of a senior official, but he refused, but he didn't expect the Kuomintang veteran to be so sharp at a critical time.

At the most critical time, I didn't expect that it was Qin Hanqing who directly saved his life, and Chairman Jiang was quite emotional.

The door to negotiation will be opened, and everything will go down according to this line of thought, and it will come to fruition one day.

The leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, who had closely followed the Xi'an incident, made the most active preparations and drove the main force of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi to the vicinity of Xi'an, preparing to join the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army to resist the 300,000 Nationalist Government troops.

On the second day of the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng immediately sent a telegram to the Chinese Communists asking the Nationalist Government to send a delegation to Xi'an to jointly study the methods for dealing with the aftermath of the Xi'an Incident and discuss the plan to resist Japan and save the country.

The CPC leaders, who are good at using power and plotting power, immediately keenly saw that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and the best opportunity for the CPC to turn from illegal to legal and from underground to aboveground.

As a result, the CPC and the Red Army in northern Shaanxi can go to the fore and enter the field of vision of the people for legitimate reasons.

With the political maturity and political combat effectiveness of the CCP, if a seed falls, it can grow into a towering tree, and if a seed falls, it can cover the entire mountain and river, and the opportunity of history is to give the Nationalist Government and the Red Army of the Nationalist Government, which are regarded as bandits, the opportunity to enter the political arena and play the leading role.

With the ancient city of Xi'an, in the northwest of China, on the shore of Huaqing Pond at the foot of Lishan Mountain in Lintong, Zhang Yang's gunshot, the door of opportunity was opened for the CCP, which could no longer be closed, and finally got the country.

There was no objection within the Nationalist Government to send a delegation to Xi'an to discuss with Zhang Yang and form a united front, but there were two distinct opinions within the Nationalist Government on how to deal with the detained Chairman Chiang.

One view is that Chiang is the de facto leader of the Republic of China, and there are many factions within the Kuomintang, and once Chiang is lost as a heavyweight, various factions will inevitably suddenly quarrel over the supreme leadership of the Nationalist Government.

With the civil war, the country became torn apart, and the only thing that could be damaged was China's national defense strength, and it could only be that the Japanese were cheaper, not to mention anything else, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi of the Xingui lineage, Yan Xishan of Shanxi, and Liu Xiang of Sichuan, all of whom had this strength and the possibility of competing for the supreme leadership.

Another opinion is that if Chiang was handed over to the people for trial and sentenced to death, how many CCP members did he kill in the ten years of civil war, how many Red Army soldiers and their relatives did he kill, and Chiang's hands were stained with the blood of the Nationalist Government.

Now, the opportunity has come, Chiang Kai-shek has fallen into the hands of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, who have good relations with us, not to mention, as soon as Chiang Kai-shek dies, the forces of the Kuomintang will fall apart, which will be more conducive to the Red Army getting out of the current situation.

At present, our main enemy is not Chiang Kai-shek and his army, but the Japanese imperialism, which is full of ambition to destroy China.

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek died, the Kuomintang was torn apart, and the Nationalist Government and the Red Army of the Nationalist Government were bound to find it difficult to resist the Japanese invading army alone, and China could only fall into the point of annihilation.

I sincerely admired the leaders of the first generation of the Communist Party of China, who were able to put aside personal and partisan grievances and put the interests of the country and the nation first.

The first wife of the CCP leader, Ms. Yang Kaihui, was killed by Chairman Chiang's men, and in the later words of the great man: "How dare you use personal grievances to damage the national and national righteousness!" ”

On 17 December, Stalin, general secretary of the Soviet Nationalist Government and chairman of the Council of Ministers, instructed the Chinese Communists through the Oriental Department of the Comintern that in view of the possibility that Chiang Kai-shek might become an important leader of China's anti-Japanese forces in the future, and hoped that the Chinese Communists would proceed from the actual situation in China, weigh the pros and cons, and release Chiang back to Nanjing.

The controversy within the CCP over the release of Chiang and the killing of Chiang came to an abrupt end, and a unified opinion was formed, and a CPC delegation was formed to go to Xi'an, and Chiang was released under conditions.

Zhou Enlai, then vice chairman of the National Government of the Communist Party of China and chief of the General Staff of the Red Army of the Communist Party of China, led Ye Jianying and Qin Bangxian to form a delegation of the Communist Party of China and went to Xi'an to assist Zhang Yang in dealing with the aftermath of the Xi'an Incident.

With the participation of the politically mature CCP and the fact that Zhou Enlai, who was extremely capable in all aspects, took on this important task, the Xi'an Incident immediately embarked on the road of rapid settlement, and finally reached an agreement that was satisfactory to all parties.
