Chapter 90: A Teacher-Student Meeting of Gu Yu and Chen Mosong (Supplemental Version)

Unexpectedly, that night, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out in the city of Xi'an. When www.biquge.info was in contact with the underground party in Xi'an during the day, Gu Yu had already learned that Zhang Xueliang's division of the Kuomintang Northeast Army and Yang Hucheng division of the Northwest Army stationed in Shaanxi had established secret contacts with the Communist Party, and that the vast number of officers and men of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army also supported the cessation of the civil war and united in resisting Japan. However, Lao Jiang still stubbornly adhered to the erroneous policy of so-called "Outside the country must first be secured", and personally came to Xi'an to deploy and suppress the Communists. Therefore, Gu Yu judged that it was obviously Zhang Xueliang's department and Yang Hucheng's department, who opposed the suppression of the Communist Party, to take action against the old Jiang Yan's department.

The news that came the next day confirmed Gu Yu's judgment, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng carried out military admonitions against Lao Chiang, detained Lao Chiang and the Kuomintang military and political officials who came to Xi'an with Lao Chiang, and disarmed Lao Chiang's troops in Xi'an. A few days later, on December 17, Zhou Enlai arrived in Xi'an by plane at the invitation of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to participate in the handling of the Xi'an Incident. Hearing that Zhou Enlai was coming, Gu Yu rushed directly to Zhou Enlai's residence and met with Zhou Enlai.

After listening to Gu Yu's work report, Zhou Enlai told Gu Yu that the Party Central Committee had now decided to persuade Zhang Yang and let Lao Jiang return to Nanjing on the premise of forcing Lao Jiang to accept the cessation of the civil war and unite to resist Japan. He prepared to go to see Lao Chiang and ask him to accept the Communist Party's proposal to deal peacefully with the Xi'an Incident. Now, Gu Yu can attend the meeting as Zhou Enlai's secretary.

Gu Yu thought about it and said that he didn't want to see Lao Jiang, and he heard that Chen Mosong was also detained in Xi'an this time, so he was willing to meet Chen Mosong.

Located in the Xi'an New Town area, the Xijing Guest House is a large brick and stone structure building in the shape of a rectangular ruler, the main building is composed of a three-storey octagonal middle building in the center, an octagonal hall on the first floor behind the middle building, and a rectangular east wing building and a south wing building on the second floor. On the day of the incident, they were detained on the spot by the Northwest Army.

In the octagonal hall on the first floor, the smoke was thick and the air was cloudy. The Kuomintang military and political leaders who had been detained on the spot met here again today. Some stood against the pillars, some sat on the sofas. Everyone smoked vigorously without saying a word, and the ashtray on the coffee table was full of cigarette butts. In the past few days, although they continue to enjoy preferential treatment in life, everyone has been sad and listless. At the time of the Xi'an Incident, Shao Yuanchong, a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang who lived here, jumped out of a window and escaped, was shot and wounded by soldiers of the Northwest Army, and died after rescue efforts failed. This makes them all feel sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad. When they heard that Zhou Enlai, the representative of the Chinese Communist Party, had arrived in Xi'an, they were even more panicked, as if they felt that the end was coming.

At this time, the door of the hall opened, and a young soldier of the Northwest Army with a shell gun on his back walked in, walked up to Chen Mosong, who was sitting on the sofa and bowed his head and smoked, saluted politely, and said in a Shaanxi accent: "General Chen, an old acquaintance of yours sees that you are coming." ”

"Who?" Chen Mosong, who had an open military uniform, asked weakly.

The soldier smiled and said, "His name is Gu Yu, and he is Mr. Zhou Enlai's secretary." ”

"Huh?" Chen Mosong's eyes widened in surprise and his mouth opened wide. The other adults also turned pale and their lips trembled. They all know that in the past ten years, Chen Mosong and Gu Yu's unit has been fighting against each other. Now, Gu Yu, who has long been an old enemy, came to see Chen Mosong, who was already a prisoner, at this time, and it was obvious that the person who came was not good.

When the soldier had finished his briefing, he turned and went out. Then, Gu Yu, who was wearing a gray cloth tunic, strode in.

When Chen Mosong saw Gu Yu walking in, he immediately trembled, his lips trembled, his eyelids rolled a few times, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly. Of course, he knew that since 1927, when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party turned against each other, he, as Lao Chiang's right-hand man, fought many times on the battlefield with Gu Yu's Red Army. He and Gu Yu have long been enemies who share the sky. Now that the old enemy appeared in front of him as the victor, how could he not panic?

Gu Yu saw Chen Mosong for the first time after ten years of separation, and his mood was also very complicated. In many bloody battles with Chen Mosong's troops, many of his comrades-in-arms fell in front of his eyes, and the blood of several comrades-in-arms splashed directly on him. Just a few months ago, Chen Mosong's 11th Army was encircling and suppressing the Red Army guerrillas he led in the south. In this anti-encirclement and suppression battle, many of his comrades-in-arms died, and he also escaped death several times. For this reason, at the Dior Martyrs Conference after the end of the anti-encirclement and suppression battle, he once said with grief and indignation that these living people must avenge the martyrs, and one day, he will find the old Jiang Chen Mosong to settle accounts.

Now, he finally met Chen Mosong, who was already a prisoner, and the diners who settled the accounts had arrived.

But here and now, Gu Yu can't help but take into account the current complex and tense climate. Before coming to the Xijing Guest House, Zhou Enlai specially told him that when he saw Chen Mosong, he must pay attention to maintaining reason and restraint, and also pay attention to how he used words when he spoke to Chen Mosong.

At this moment, Gu Yu tried his best to control the emotions in his heart, and tried his best to say in a calm tone: "Instructor Chen, we haven't seen each other for ten years, I heard that the instructor is here, and the students came to see the instructor today. ”

After Gu Yu said this, Chen Mosong's eyes widened in surprise, and the other Kuomintang officials also widened their eyes in surprise.

"Y-What are you calling me?" Chen Mosong couldn't believe his ears.

"Instructor." Gu Yu had a smile on his face, "Although we have conflicts, it is always a teacher-student relationship." As he spoke, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Chen Mosong.

Chen Mosong was still relieved, "You, aren't you here to take my head?" ”

Gu Yu laughed, at this moment, he was really happy, "Instructor Chen, Principal Jiang's head, we don't plan to take it, let alone you?" Now, the people of the whole country are demanding an end to the civil war and a united resistance against Japan. In line with the wishes of the people of the whole country, our party advocates a peaceful settlement of the Xi'an incident. Now our Vice Chairman Zhou is negotiating with the principal on this matter. In order to peacefully resolve the Xi'an Incident, the principal should follow the will of the people, take the overall situation into account, and accept the eight-point proposal of the two generals. As long as the president accepts the eight-point proposal, he can not only return to Nanjing, but we are also willing to support the president to lead the whole country to resist Japan. Instructor Chen, is what the student said right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Now that the national crisis is at hand, all Chinese should sincerely unite and jointly resist Japan. Chen Mosong stood up and hurriedly said, seeing that Gu Yu had no ill will towards him, he was relieved. Then, he also stretched out his hand to Gu Yu.

After a lapse of ten years, the pair of teachers and students who had been fighting for ten years shook hands again, and they both shook each other very tightly and tightly.
