On the sixth day, from Beiping City to Xishan on the road to five steps and one post, ten steps of the gate, the third group of military business Zhen Department, the first group of military Zhenwu Department, the Fourth Group Army Bai Chongxi Department of tens of thousands of revolutionary army soldiers from the Xizhi Gate to the Xishan Biyun Temple, escort the long convoy full of sacrificial generals through Haidian, Yuquan Mountain until the front of the Biyun Temple Mountain convoy 6 continued to stop, wearing a straight general's uniform, wearing a white flower on the chest An Yi and Yu Jishi, Wang Shihe and others quickly came to the third car to open the door, a solemn face Chiang Kai-shek drilled out of the door, Whispered a few words to An Yi, An Yi nodded silently, walked to the car behind with Chiang Kai-shek, and politely greeted Feng Yuxiang and Lu Zhonglin, who had just arrived yesterday.

Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and Li Zongren gathered together, except for Feng Yuxiaoxiang, who was still wearing a soldier's coarse cloth uniform, the other three were all dressed in straight generals' uniforms, wearing big-brimmed hats, and high military boots. Is there a chance to get together?

With a history of more than 500 years, Biyun Temple is built on the mountain, and the overlapping temples and temples are from the bottom to the top of the mountain, and the temples are covered with green trees. Like most temples for hundreds of years, Biyun Temple has been famous at home and abroad in just a few years, because Dr. Sun Yat-sen's coffin was stored here, which made this deserted monastery famous and even recorded in history.

Three years ago on March 12, Mr. Zhongshan died of illness in the city of Iron Lion Hutong, on the occasion of his death, the will was buried in Nanjing Purple Mountain, the then North and South Funeral Committee decided to temporarily store Mr. Zhongshan's coffin in Biyun Temple, and then hold the spirit to the south after the completion of the Purple Mountain Mausoleum in Nanjing, on April 2, the funeral committee held a grand spirit ceremony, more than 100,000 Beijing citizens flocked to the streets along the way to the coffin of silent farewell, the coffin was finally placed in the stone chamber in the King Kong Pagoda of Biyun Temple until today, During Mr. Nakayama's lifetime, the Eight Great Guards guarded here for several years.

The sacrificial procession enters the temple gate, the presiding officer of Biyun Temple, Master Jinghai, has already led a group of monks to stand solemnly at the foot of the steps to welcome, the temple is newly arranged according to the highest sacrificial specifications, and the newly built archway is hung with "the world is for the public." The couplet on the left and right of the large plaque is "Create the Republic with bare hands and unswervingly live and die three doctrines", "The great name hangs the universe heroic spirit and always shines two incense let x." Under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek, everyone stood in silence for a minute, and then continued to pass through a heavy mountain gate, and came to the highest place of the temple in the Golden Net Pagoda Courtyard, Sun Yat-sen's former adjutant Ma Xiang, and Wu Zhijue, the chief of the guard, strode to welcome, saluted, and welcomed Chiang Kai-shek and his party into the mourning hall, the mourning music has not yet been played, the grief-stricken Chiang Kai-shek fell on the coffin and cried bitterly, the crying was poignant, touching, Wu Zhihui, Dai Jitao, Cai Yuanpei, Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiaoxiang and others around them could not help but shed tears.

An Yi, who stood in the second row with Shang Zhen, Lu Zhonglin, Bai Chongxi and other seven generals, witnessed the sad scene in front of him, and was embarrassed, he understood very well the sadness of Chiang Kai-shek and others from the Northern Expedition to the present, and in the two years from the present, there is no one who has a deeper understanding than Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and others who cried in front, not to mention the ups and downs of personal victories and defeats, not to mention the ups and downs of hundreds of thousands of heroes and martyrs who threw their heads and spilled their blood in exchange for today's situation of overthrowing the northern government and nominally unifying the country. Standing on top of the solemn mourning hall, facing the deceased Mr. Nakayama, the ups and downs in everyone's hearts can only be savored by themselves.

The central officials stepped forward to persuade Chiang Kai-shek and a cadre of generals to persuade the mourning music to sound, everyone returned to the team, bowed their heads to the Zhongshan spirit cabinet in silence, Chiang Kai-shek then read the sacrifice in a choked voice, led the crowd to the spirit cabinet three bows, the mourning music played again, the generals followed behind Chiang Kai-shek, around the spirit cabinet and walked around, the ritual was completed after the salute, went out to thank and bid farewell to Master Jinghai and other monks, boarded the car one after another, and drove to Tangshan Hot Spring to bathe and change clothes again.

An Yi soaked his whole body in the hot springs, savoring the fragments of today's sacrifice, the unruly faces of the generals of the north and south, the mutual hostility of different camps, and the unscrupulous criticism of the Nanjing government all came to mind, all of which made An Yi deeply worried about the future direction of China.

An Yi knew very well that if it weren't for the extraordinary significance of today's sacrifice spirit, which had a beneficial effect on the political status of the commanders of each force, Jiang, Feng, Yan, and Li would never have gathered together, and it was clear that Mr. Shan's revolutionary banner still had a huge appeal and righteous power, regardless of whether they believed in the Three People's Principles and Mr. Zhongshan's three major policies, Jiang, Feng, Yan, and Li were not willing to let go easily, no matter who had Mr. Zhongshan's banner, it was tantamount to showing their revolutionary orthodoxy to the people of the world.

"What do you think? I've seen you preoccupied all day today. Wang Shihe wrung out the towel and leaned against the pool on An Yi's left side to wipe his face.

An Yi smiled at Wang Shihe: "I think too much, I can't figure out a clue to come to senior brother, junior brother feels that there is a great distrust between the generals of the north and the south, today from the whole process of going out of the city to worshipping the spirit to coming back, General Bai Jiansheng and Liao Yannong, Liao Leizi and Li Heling, Li Pinxian and several Gui generals around him are self-contained, Erhan saw which general of the Northwest Army and the Jin Yu Army greeted them, he "spoke to any one of us, and the generals of the various group armies seemed to be polite to each other, In fact, the younger brother is very worried that there will be turmoil in the northern situation after that, and if there is a sudden contradiction between the various group armies, it will be difficult for us to deal with it."

"No wonder the principal always praises you for your meticulous and sensitive thinking in front of us, the junior brother is really as careful as Wang Shihe smiled, and continued: "Didn't Sun Liangcheng's gang of the Northwest Army get along well with you? General Shang Qiyu, deputy marshal of the Jin Luo Army, Shang Zhenzi and General Fu Yisheng, General Fu Zuoyi, also talked and laughed with you, and even the principal said that your popularity is good, let us learn from you and contact the generals of various departments, but your easy-going and close character, who can learn? What's more, the vast majority of the generals in the north are here for your outstanding military exploits, no matter which faction you belong to, who does not respect the people who are famous for killing with real swords and real guns? How can we compare to you? ”

An Yi sighed faintly: The younger brother was also born to lead the army to fight at the right time, so he won today's false name, but he also made a lot of enemies! Putting aside the grievances between the Gui family and the younger brother for the time being, didn't the senior brother see General Han Fuqu and Shi Yousan of the Northwest Army rolling their eyes at the younger brother today? Accidentally, I offended these two generals of the Northwest Army again, and yesterday General Lu Zhonglin also privately asked the younger brother why he incorporated the cavalry brigade of General Zhang Chengzhu, the sworn enemy of the Northwest Army? The younger brother can only tell the truth, General Lu can understand it with a smile, but can General Han Fuqu, who has suffered a big loss, understand? The hidden danger is buried, and one day it will be liquidated, and the little brother really doesn't want to see the day when the same room fights.

Wang Shihe nodded cautiously: "We don't want that day to happen, but according to the current situation, this may not be nothing, you know far more about the situation of the entire situation than I do, you know more about the situation of the armies, and I can't say anything, but you should also pay attention to your own safety during this time, Beiping is different from Nanjing, and it is not under our control" Hey, is there any situation? An Yi keenly sensed something, looked at Wang Shihe and asked with concern.

Wang Shihe glanced around, and saw that the generals and colonels soaking in the hot springs in the Nuoda Pond were far away, and approached An Yi and whispered: "General Fu Zuoyi, the commander of the Tianjin garrison, detected the secret assassination of the remnants of the Zhilu Army the day before yesterday, and arrested more than a dozen relevant personnel in Tianjin and Beiping in the early morning and morning of yesterday, and the surprise interrogation was learned that they were all coming for the principal, so the principal transferred the temporary residence from Zhongnanhai here, but the brother is still worried, and now I only have more than 400 guards in my hands, It is also necessary to ensure the safety of dozens of members of the party department and the central government, in addition to holding a disarmament meeting these days, the president also has to meet with representatives of groups from all walks of life in Beiping, hold a press conference, and go to the surrounding areas to express condolences to the Pingjin garrison guards The work is extremely severe and heavy, hey, it would be good if there were a few more masters like Adjutant Shen under your brother's command Your adjutant is usually silent, standing aside does not seem to exist, but he is everywhere, and his eyes are particularly poisonous, last time he spent half a day with him in Chongzhou for his brother, Now he can distinguish the identity of strangers and his martial arts background at a glance, and at that time, he made a group of self-righteous masters in the attendant room ashamed of themselves, and they no longer dared to speak loudly in front of him, no one can compare to him at this point, let alone his inconspicuous skills, I feel that he is even more powerful than Hu Zi and Gu Changfeng, that bandit! ”

"In this way, I will let Lao Shen follow my senior brother during this time and obey my senior brother's dispatch. At this critical time, the safety of the principal is paramount. An Yi said without hesitation.

Wang Shihe was very happy: "With Adjutant Shen joining in, I am much more relieved to be a brother!" However, junior brother, you should also pay attention to the remnants of the Zhilu Army and the Anhui Army who retreated to the front line of the Tianjin Concession and Shanhaiguan all regard you as a thorn in the flesh, and your identity is different from the past, and the whole ** people regard you as the hero of the Northern Expedition and the representative of the young Zhuang faction in the revolutionary army, especially after this sacrifice, your political prestige and status will be rapidly improved, and you will be among the important generals of the various group armies. So you also have to pay attention An Yi shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Thank you senior brother for reminding me, the junior brother debuted late and has little qualifications, where can he compare to those famous generals?" It's just that the little brother is lucky, and he has fought a few more big battles, "Senior Brother An, hurry up!" ”

Kang Ze, who was dressed as a major general, hurriedly arrived, squatted on the edge of the pool and whispered: "The principal is looking for you, hurry up and change your clothes, there are representatives of various universities in Peking in the reception hall who are noisily asking to see you, and more than 60 Chinese and foreign reporters also gathered together, it seems that you can't go to see An Yi hurriedly climbed onto the pool, took the bath towel handed by the orderly, and wiped his body: "Senior brother's propaganda team can just receive it, what can the junior brother do when he goes out?" ”

"Don't ask, do you think you're just an independent division commander now? I don't think it's enough to go in place of you, your kid is now a famous hero of the Northern Expedition, a model for countless young people across the country to learn and admire, and every move, word and deed can influence thousands of people, do you understand? Don't grind, hurry up, the headmaster is still waiting for you
