Section 5 "Distractingness" III
[Song Ailing turned upstairs without saying a word to invite Song Meiling, Kong Xiangxi's expression was serious and uneasy, Song Ailing just walked to the staircase, Song Meiling had already appeared on the stairs, she didn't fall asleep at all, she had a lot of thoughts, as soon as Kong Xiangxi's car entered the yard, she got up. \, ǒM//[Chinese. ]
"Dean Kong, let's drink saliva first." Song Meiling was not in a hurry, her steps were still as stable as usual, and her demeanor was still so dignified, but there was worry between her eyebrows, and her eyes were full of anxiety.
Kong Xiangxi took the cup handed over by Song Ailing, took a sip, and then said to Song Meiling: "A one-day meeting, He Jingzhi presided over it, formed several decisions, opened Zhang Yang's party membership, deprived Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng of all positions, and crusaded against Xi'an, with He Yingqin as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, fully responsible for the rebel military action, and Lin Sen as the temporary chairman of the party, and telegraphed Wang Jingwei in Germany to return to China as soon as possible. At five o'clock, a telegram came from Xi'an that Kai-shek was still alive and that they had put forward eight claims; Negotiations with the Central Committee are required. ”
Kong Xiangxi's words were very brief, but he had already made it clear what Song Meiling cared about. Song Meiling couldn't help but shout after hearing this: "They are trying to kill Kai-shek." ”
The several decisions made by the Central Committee were all aimed at forcing Zhang Xueliang into a desperate situation, and once the two sides fought, Chiang Kai-shek's result could be imagined.
"After the conditions of Xi'an came, He Yingqin decided to convene a joint meeting of the party, government and army to discuss Zhang Yang's eight conditions, and the meeting is still ongoing." Kong Xiangxi added.
"The eight conditions they announced on the radio last night?" Song Ziwen asked.
"Pretty much." Kong Xiangxi nodded: "Reorganize the Nanjing government, accommodate all parties and factions, and be jointly responsible for saving the country." Stop all civil wars. Immediately release the arrested patriotic leaders in Shanghai. Release all political prisoners in the country. Open up the popular patriotic movement. All political freedoms of assembly and association are guaranteed. Obey Premier Sun's will. Immediately convene a National Salvation Conference. That's it. ”
"It doesn't matter if he's eight or ten, first of all, he must ensure that Kai-shek comes back." Kong Xiangxi's words made Soong Meiling very worried, and the result of the Central Committee meeting shocked her very much, they actually did not think of negotiating with Xi'an, but decided to crusade against Chiang Kai-shek when his life and death were unknown. Even Chiang Kai-shek's successor has been chosen, what does it mean? They were going to abandon Chiang Kai-shek. Thinking of this, Song Meiling tightened her heart and said categorically: "Dean Kong, Ziwen, let's go." I would like to participate in the joint meeting. ”
Kong Xiangxi nodded, he was very much in favor of Song Meiling's decision, at the Central Committee meeting, the crusade was surging, and he could not support it alone. He Yingqin made it clear that the central authorities could not negotiate conditions with the rebels. No matter who is caught, the central authorities should take a resolute attitude to quell the rebellion. Dai Jitao even cited the old example of the emperor re-established by the ministers of the court after the change of the Ming Dynasty and the civil fort; Under their strength. The voice of the Lord and the Harmony was completely overpowered, and now the only one who could turn the situation around was Song Meiling.
However, Kong Xiangxi said: "That's natural, but I have an idea that needs to be discussed with you, I want to send a private telegram to Zhang Xueliang in my capacity as the acting president of the Executive Yuan, and in addition, you can ask Yan Xishan to come out to mediate." ”
Song Meiling didn't think about it at all, as long as there was a possibility of letting Chiang Kai-shek come out. She was willing to try: "Okay. Brother-in-law, this matter will be done according to your opinion. She took two steps towards the door. He stopped and turned to Kong Xiangxi and said, "Send a telegram to Zhang Hanqing in the name of my place, saying that I will send Mr. Duanna to fly to Xi'an as my personal representative." If he agrees, call back as soon as possible. ”
From last night to today, Dingjiaqiao is brightly lit, the flow of people is like weaving, and more than 100 high-level party-state personnel in the conference hall are impassioned, vying to speak, denouncing Zhang Yang's mutiny and harming the country; On the rostrum, Lin Sen, chairman of the Nationalist Government and provisional chairman of the Central Committee, and He Yingqin, interim chairman of the Military Commission and commander-in-chief of the rebel army, were seated.
Lin Sen's face was thin, the three long strands of hair under his chin were as white as silver, his white hair was neatly pulled back, and his eyes flickered behind the lenses, which meant that his thoughts were a little chaotic now. He is a veteran of the ******, the former Qing Dynasty participated in the League, followed Sun Yat-sen to make a revolution, several ups and downs over the years, he opposed Sun Yat-sen's three major policies, participated in the Guoxi Mountain Conference faction, was warned, 31 years of the Supervisory Committee four members of the Supervisory Committee impeached Chiang Kai-shek, he was among them, after Chiang Kai-shek went into the field, he was elected chairman of the Nationalist Government, and since then he has held this honorary position.
The outbreak of the Xi'an Incident deeply stimulated him, and the Central Committee that lasted all day shocked him even more, from the heart he was unwilling to use force to fight, he did not think that Zhang Xueliang was going to betray the country, but years of political experience told him that this group of surging counterinsurgency voices are not so pure, there are too many desires and ambitions in it. But he did not immediately express a peaceful solution, and even Kong Xiangxi just called for contact with Xi'an as soon as possible, but he did not speak in support.
Sitting next to him, He Yingqindi's expression was completely different from his, his face was solemn and serious, serious and full of endless worry, but his waist was always straight.
From a legal point of view, Zhang Yang is a mutiny, a crime, and criminals cannot be conditional, they can only be tried. If the central government negotiates with Zhang Yang, it will undoubtedly be a gross violation of the judicial land, and I will resolutely oppose it. I suggest that a nationwide arrest warrant be issued for Zhang Yang's arrest; A special court was established to try Zhang Yang. ****** Yuan Laoju is a legal expert, and he gushes about the troubles of the negotiation with Xi'an from a legal point of view.
After finishing speaking, Chen Guofu stood up again and said: "Zhang Yang's eight conditions are undoubtedly the kidnappers' ransom, not only should they not be agreed, but on the contrary, I think they should be-for-tat, immediately execute seven criminals, mobilize the best elite in Tongguan, and order Zhang Yang to return to the case, so as to reverse Zhang Yang's attitude to show the central government." ”
As soon as he sat down and stood up: "In addition, I suggest that martial law be imposed in Nanjing, and assembly and association will be prohibited!" ”
"Boom!" The door was pushed open, Song Meiling was in front, Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen were behind, the three of them went straight into the conference hall, Song Meiling and Kong Xiangxi went directly to the presiding position, Kong Xiangxi is the vice president of the Executive Yuan, the acting president of the Executive Yuan, and the third empty chair on the stage is his, but Song Meiling's status in the party is not high, so she can only sit under the stage.
But at the moment, no one said anything, and everyone looked at her blankly. Song Meiling stood in front of the stage, glanced at the audience with majestic eyes, and then kissed her lips: "The chairman is not dead." Crusade against Xi'an, bombing Xi'an, do you want to kill the chairman, or do you want to kill the chairman by Zhang Yang's hand? ”
Song Meiling's words silenced the audience. Everyone suddenly remembered Chiang Kai-shek's past prestige. He Yingqin saw that this was not going to work, he quickly stood up and persuaded: "Madam Jiang, it's great that you can come to the meeting, we are discussing how to reply to Zhang Yang's eight conditions." ”
"What else is being discussed, the Central Committee has not expelled them from the party. Did you decide to transfer troops to quell the rebellion? Song Meiling couldn't help but be angry when she said this. He raised his voice and said, "I want to know, why did you make such a decision, the situation in Xi'an is obscure. What do you think about making such a decision in a hurry?! ”
"Mrs. Jiang, please sit down, don't get excited, don't get excited." He Yingqin persuaded quietly, and the person next to him immediately brought a chair for Song Meiling to sit down. Song Meiling was not polite, and sat on the side of the rostrum.
"Madame Chiang. From dawn to now, we have had a full ten hours of meetings. We have a basic point of view," He Yingqin explained to Soong Meiling: "The Central Committee thinks. No matter what the current situation in Xi'an is or what the situation in the chairman's place is, Zhang Yang's actions are a challenge to the central discipline and laws and regulations, and they are crimes, and they must be punished, and party discipline and state law must be upheld, otherwise the country will not be a country, the party will not be a party, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
He Yingqin's words were righteous and strict, Song Meiling couldn't find a reason to refute for a while, she sneered and quickly pulled the topic in her favor: "Minister He, then the chairman doesn't care about life or death?" Is he dead? ”
"The chairman of the committee was still alive at the time of the latest news, but this was transmitted by Zhang Yang, and the central government has not confirmed it." He Yingqin said calmly.
"In that case, let's confirm it first." Song Meiling's attitude was very strong.
"Impossible." He Yingqin refused on the spot: "The order for the assembly of troops has been issued, the 20 divisions have set off, and the decision of the Central Committee has been made. ”
Song Meiling stood up with a swish: "Nothing is impossible!" The assembly order can be cancelled, 20 divisions can be recovered, and the Central Committee can re-discuss it. ”
"The Woman's Theory!" Dai Jitao, who was sitting in the front row, was furious, slapped his palm on the table, stood up and shouted loudly: "How can national affairs be such a child's play!" ”
Song Meiling's aggressive attitude angered many people, and after Dai Jitao, the following discussions were buzzing, and they didn't seem to shy away from the people of the Song family.
"He shouldn't have gone to Xi'an at all, he did it himself."
"It is impossible for Zhang Yang to keep the chairman alive, this is just their delaying tactic, we should attack immediately!" He said: "I understand your thoughts, you want to save your husband, but this is a national matter, and it cannot be decided by one's own selfish thoughts, and the chairman is not only your husband, but also the commander of the country." ”
Song Meiling looked at the venue, she felt extremely lonely, when Chiang Kai-shek was there, who dared to speak to her like this, her heart was full of grievances and indignation, but at this time she also saw the environment she was in now, so she reined in the edge just now, but said sincerely: "Mr. Ye, although I am a woman, I am by no means speaking just to rescue my husband. If the chairman of the National People's Congress dies and can benefit the country, then although I am saddened, I will first persuade him to sacrifice, but today's incident, if there is a sudden military crusade, not only will the leader supported by the national army be in danger, but also tens of millions of people in Shaanxi will also fall into the chaos of war and chaos, so what is the benefit of the chairman sacrificing himself to the country? Ladies and gentlemen," Song Meiling turned to face the venue, her eyes full of tears: "I am by no means a woman who haunts her husband, when I hear this, the first thing that comes to mind is the country, since 918, the national crisis has become increasingly serious, and the security of the chairman of the committee is closely related to national security, and this is the fundamental reason why I advocate a peaceful solution." Ladies and gentlemen, if there is any accident for the chairman, who can replace him? The country is bound to fall apart and descend into civil war. Ladies and gentlemen, this is my reflection on today's situation, and I ask you to give me a little time, because if my efforts fail, it will not be too late to launch a crusade. ”
Song Meiling's grief affected the committee members at the venue, and after a few minutes of silence, a tall figure stood up: "Madame Chiang's words are reasonable, the role of the chairman of the Chinese committee today is irreplaceable, and we should first make peace efforts." ”
Song Meiling looked at that person with some gratitude, it was actually Feng Yuxiang, who had been against Chiang Kai-shek for nearly ten years, which surprised her.
"How can it be!" Dai Jitao couldn't help but stand up again: "Negotiate with Zhang Yang." Where is the prestige of the country? What is the law of the country? What will happen to those who do this in the future? ”
Dai Jitao's series of questions immediately knocked the atmosphere that had just been reversed back to its original shape, and Song Meiling was a little desperate. Wu Zhihui also shouted at this time: "If you want to fight quickly, you must not let Zhang Yang collude with the Communist Party, once they collude together, there will be endless troubles." ”
Dai Jitao then said loudly: "Let's not forget that Zhang Yang's troops in Xi'an are only 100,000. Far weaker than Liangguang. Why do they dare to take such a risk? Who is behind them? Who else is connected with them besides the Communist Party? Han Fuqu in Shandong, Li Zongren in Guangxi, and Deng Yanda and Li Jishen overseas. Is there a connection? Didn't Zhang Yang kidnap the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee just to gain political benefits, and the central government could give in? No, never, the central government must not be blackmailed from it, so we can't take too much care about the safety of Jiang Gong, let alone how Jiang Gong's safety is. We don't know. So we must express our determination to Zhang Yang, the determination of the central government; So Jiang Gongruo is here. or safe; If he shows weakness to Zhang Yang, then Jiang Gong will be counted. Whether they will be able to come back is unknown! ”
Dai Jitao got Chen Guofu's approval: "Mr. Ji Tao is right, I advocate the crusade because we can't show weakness to Xi'an, because once we show weakness, Zhang Yang will think that the central government will give in to them, and we must show our strength and show that we have the ability to quell the rebellion, so that Zhang Yang will take into account the life of the chairman, and only by annihilating their main force can they be forced to send back the chairman." ”
"I don't agree," a calm voice came from the back row, Song Meiling raised her eyes and saw that it was Zhang Zhizhong, Zhang Zhizhong slowly walked to the front of the stage: "Mrs. Jiang has a sentence I don't know if you have thought about it, if there is anything unexpected for the chairman, who can replace it?" Who can replace the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee in today's China? The chairman of the committee is the core of the country, without this core, the country and the army will be divided, and in today's situation, we will have the disaster of destroying the country! Please look at the overall situation and the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War. ”
Song Meiling glanced at Zhang Zhizhong gratefully, but Zhang Zhizhong's speech was quickly drowned out, Cheng Qian, Chen Gongbo, and Yu Youren spoke one after another, supporting the crusade, and the momentum of the main battle faction rose again, Kong Xiangxi spoke to try to boost the morale of the main peace faction, but Dai Jitao was furious and directly accused him of misleading the country, and almost came to power and beat Kong Xiangxi.
At this time, the attitude of the military generals who did not speak was very important, and the attitudes of Zhu Pei, Long Yun, Xiong Shihui, and Lin Sen might affect the outcome of the meeting, and Song Meiling decided to make an effort.
But at this time, Song Ziwen stood up and spoke.
"I have four telegrams here, sent by General Liu Xiang, Chairman of Sichuan Province, General Li Liejun, Chairman of Yunnan Province, Mr. Yang Yongtai, Director of Chongqing Xingyuan, and General Yang Yongtai, Director of the Southwest Development Team," Song Ziwen said loudly, shaking the note in his hand, "They have a common demand, that is, before making any decision, the safety of the chairman must be considered first!" ”
Song Meiling was stunned, but the committee members at the venue were also stunned, they hadn't figured out what Song Ziwen's purpose was at this time?
Song Ziwen walked forward as he spoke: "They represent the wishes of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of millions of people in the three southwestern provinces, and at the same time, they also show that Madame Chiang's proposition is not without support at the local level. ”
Before he finished his words, Long Yun became angry: "What is Zhuang Wenge going to do?" To blackmail the central government with the locality, he wants to learn from Zhang Yang, and he must be severely reprimanded! It is suggested that the Central Committee impose severe punishment to set an example!"
"Brother Zhizhou, sit down, sit down, don't get excited." Zhu Pei pulled him down with a smile, then stood up and said: "The will of the people is the heart of the army, I think the words of Madame Jiang and Mr. Dai are reasonable, the role of the chairman of the Chinese committee today is irreplaceable, so to solve the Xi'an incident, we must take into account the safety of the chairman; A peaceful solution is our goal, but Zhang Yang's actions are unacceptable and must be punished, which is a dilemma. ”
Old fox, Xiong Sihui looked at him and scolded in his heart, he saw that he couldn't help but express his position at this time, so he slowly swallowed the same way: "General Yizhi is right, whether it is wartime or peacetime, we must take into account the law and discipline of the country and the safety of the chairman." ”
They wanted to blur the past like this, but some people were not satisfied, so Sun Ke coldly forced him up: "What is this saying, left and right, that is not to offend, you are a chief of general staff, a chairman of Jiangxi Province, are all party-state cadres, how can you be so vague in the face of such a major event." He then made his attitude clear: "I advocate acting according to Madame Jiang's opinion, how many people Zhang Yang can talk to, and it is not too late to exterminate him." ”
Song Meiling always thought that Sun Ke was a gentleman, and she didn't have any friendship in the past, but she didn't expect to get his support at this time, and she couldn't help but cast a grateful look at him.
"I agree." Zhu Pei and Xiong Shihui are both old fritters in officialdom, and they immediately judged that this position was beneficial to them, and immediately expressed their support.
With the statements of the three of them, the atmosphere of the meeting began to loosen, and Lin Sen finally expressed his support for Song Meiling.
Song Meiling dimly felt that the four telegrams that Song Ziwen showed were the fuse of this change, but he didn't understand, how could it be four telegrams? Isn't it only Zhuang Jihua? She looked at Song Ziwen suspiciously, but the latter gave her a reassuring look.
He Yingqin felt that he could not continue at this time, and if he continued, last night's decision would be overturned, so he immediately announced the adjournment of the meeting on the grounds that it was too late, and the meeting would resume tomorrow.
