Chapter 1190 High Wind and Bright Festival

Wu Liheng, the fierce general of the An Jiajun, is good at action but not good at words, and it is precisely because of this that he was appointed by An Yi as the commander-in-chief who led his troops into Shaanxi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wu Liheng, who was promoted step by step from a veteran soldier to a major general commander, lived up to An Yi's expectations, and said concisely to the two warring parties: Brother, I am ordered by Commander An to promote a truce, if you do not give face and deliberately provoke a war again, brother, I will not give up the opportunity to profit from the fisherman, whoever takes the initiative to attack will fight whoever I want, there is no choice!

The envoys of both warring parties left angrily, but in the end they all stopped fighting, they knew in their hearts that Wu Liheng did what he said, if he really annoyed An Jiajun, they would dare to do anything in such a chaotic situation, and they would not have to bear responsibility for what they had to do, but they might win a good reputation of going all out to stop the civil war.

Another reason that made the warring sides very jealous was that the 136th Division of the newly formed A Division of the Anjia Army had already reached Shangluo, and together with the 44th Division and the 137th Division, the Anjia Army had already gathered more than 70,000 superior troops in a radius of more than 100 kilometers south of Xi'an, and with the assistance of a powerful air force, it was fully capable of defeating any army. In addition, there are up to 70,000 Sichuan troops behind the An Jiajun to support them at any time.

With the ceasefire in the surrounding areas of Shaanxi, the Xi'an incident is gradually becoming clearer and moving towards a good situation, just as An Yi and all those who hope for peace hope.

On the morning of 19 December, the Central Committee of China, which took into account the overall situation, sent a telegram suggesting that a peace conference of all parties should be convened immediately in Nanjing, and that all parties should first put forward a draft for resisting Japan and saving the country, and that the issue of handling Mr. Chiang Kai-shek should be discussed and that all civil war should be opposed.

At noon, Zhang Xueliang telegraphed to the press, informing Chairman Chiang that he had preliminarily agreed with his opinion, and that he could return to the capital safely as long as the relevant officials from Nanjing arrived, and announced that he had reached six terms of understanding with Chiang Kai-shek: 1. Cessation of the civil war and cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party; 2. To resist further Japanese aggression by force; 3. Exclude a number of pro-Japanese elements in Nanking and actively unite with Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Germany, which uphold justice; 4. Reorganize the 17th Route Army and the Northeast Army and treat them on an equal footing with the Central Army; 5. To give greater political freedom to the people; 6. Reconstruct the Nanjing government organization into a democratic system.

At noon the next day, Song Ziwen and Duan Ne arrived in Xi'an, where they immediately met with Zhang Xueliang and Chairman Jiang and gathered together to have a secret talk. Zhang Xueliang, who was depressed and depressed, full of guilt and frustration, said on the spot that he would personally send Chairman Chiang back to Beijing after the consultations between all parties were completed.

After Song Ziwen and Jiang Dingwen obtained Zhang Xueliang's clear promise, they flew from Xi'an to Luoyang again, repeatedly discussed with Song Meiling, Dai Li, and others who stayed in Luoyang to wait for news, and after obtaining the approval of Feng Yuxiang, An Yi, and Zhu Peide, they flew to Xi'an together the next morning and began to hold tense negotiations with Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng, Zhou Enlai, and other representatives of various parties.

On 25 December, after repeated consultations and negotiations, the Xi'an incident was satisfactorily resolved.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xueliang accompanied Chiang Kai-shek and his wife and Song Ziwen and his party to leave Xi'an, and flew safely to Luoyang at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. When the news came out, the whole country celebrated, the sound of firecrackers in major cities across the country continued all night, and countless military and civilian people and people from all walks of life who were worried about the country and the people celebrated with their hands in hand.

Nine p.m., Nanjing, Central Military Commission Conference Room.

After an hour of discussion, An Yi and more than a dozen members of the Standing Committee, including Feng Yuxiang and Zhu Peide, and the officers and ministers of various departments of the Central Military Commission finally completed the arduous mission.

An Yi, who was full of worries, took a deep breath, apologized and begged everyone to be quiet, and stood up and loudly announced his decision:

An Yi thinks that the 16th Division and the Southwest Air Force have completed the task of assisting the garrison troops in stabilizing the capital, and can end this special mission, hand over the alert task to the garrison and gendarmerie units, and evacuate Nanjing and return to the Yichang garrison.

"At present, the transport ships urgently requisitioned by General Gu Changfeng are gathering in Nanjing, and all of them will arrive at the Xiaguan Wharf before about 12 o'clock tonight, so the officers and men of the 16th Division will assemble and board the ships at midnight, and strive to leave Nanjing before dawn to return to the station.

The participants were very surprised, they didn't expect An Yi to have such a successful plan to retreat, and withdraw the 16th Division so quickly.

The generals at the meeting had complicated expressions one by one, and they retained in unison, but they felt a sense of relief in their hearts, after all, the An Jiajun, which was strong in combat and strict in law enforcement, brought too much pressure to the entire city of Nanjing.

Gu Zhenglun stood up and sincerely persuaded: "General An, the officers and men of the 16th Division are loyal to the party and the state, have worked hard and made great achievements, have been conscientious and conscientious in the past ten days, and have fulfilled their duties for ten days. ”

When everyone heard this, they all spoke out to save them, no matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone recognized the important role and outstanding contribution of An Yi and the 16th Division in this crisis, and Feng Yuxiang also cautiously suggested that An Yi should not be in too much of a hurry, and how to give the soldiers of the 16th Division the due rewards.

An Yi knew this, smiled helplessly, thanked Feng Yuxiang and the generals politely, and then sincerely said something touching in his heart:

"Seniors, distinguished commanders, not only the 16th Division stationed in Nanjing will be withdrawn, but the 136th and 44th Divisions stranded in Shangluo, Henan Province, have also withdrawn to Yichang in the evening, braving the snow, leaving only the 137th Division temporarily stationed in Hanzhong, subject to the further arrangements of the Military Commission and the commission.

"In the past few days, An Yi has felt guilty in his heart, although the officers and men of the 16th Division have made certain contributions to resolving the crisis and stabilizing the capital, but the 16th Division is indeed An Yi who violated military law and exceeded his authority to transfer, no matter what the starting point is, it is a crime of disobedience and disobedience.

"Your kindness An Yi has received it, I just ask you to help say a good word when the time comes, and deal with An Yi and the soldiers of the 16th Division lightly, An Yi is extremely grateful! To put it from the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for the sudden incident that seriously threatened the fate of the country and the nation this time, An Yi would never have dared to act so boldly, and he was still afraid when he thought about it at the moment, but fortunately, the matter was successfully resolved, An Yi felt a lot more relaxed, and took this opportunity to sincerely express his attitude and be willing to accept any punishment given by the Central Military Commission and Chairman Jiang. ”

The generals sighed when they heard this, Feng Yuxiang high-fived and sighed, and then praised loudly: "General An is loyal to the party and the state, frank and open, this move will definitely make all those rumors dissipate, and let the whole people see that General An is full of courage and loyalty!" ”

Everyone echoed and stood up one after another to comfort and encourage An Yi in every way, but An Yi had already made up his mind and there was no room for negotiation.

At ten o'clock in the evening, South Sichuan Xufu, Xiyuan.

Lao Shoudao, Jiang Yunshan, and Qi Shengqing sat around the dining table, sighing for a long time, and from time to time they took a big sip of the wine glass, and the mood of the three of them was extremely complicated, some were relieved, some were lost, and more were sighing.

Jiang Yunshan was already seven points drunk, put down the cup, and sighed again: "Brother Dao, you are right, our brothers are still unlucky!" ”

Old Man Qi shook his head and sighed: "That's it, that's it!" On the one hand, it is the fate of the country and the nation, and on the other hand, the vanity of the entire southwest and a few of our old guys, but in the face of the great righteousness of the country and the nation, how dare we take into account our selfish interests? Xiao Yi is right! To tell you the truth, he sees more clearly and more than we do, and he deserves our life! ”

"! Where is An Yi so loyal and noble as Brother Qi thinks? He has long been resentful of the central government, and he doesn't know how much he wants to be the king and hegemon, and he can't wait to replace it, otherwise how can there be today's Syria and today's southern Yunnan? How could there be a Yunnan-Burma trade route and the Yunnan-Vietnam trade route that would never allow the central government to get involved in half of it? How can there be a covert layout in North America, Australia, and the South Seas?

"He's just not born at the right time! Fortunately, it is worth rejoicing, this kid still has self-knowledge, ten years of grinding, finally let him mature, can take into account the overall situation, look forward to the future, know that things can not be done, immediately change his course, but also won a reputation for the country and the people, can be called half of the handsome, how can there be the talent of governing the world as Brother Qi said? In this life, he can be a big warlord, and it will be the end. ”

Lao Shoudao's eyes were red, and he didn't miss the opportunity to damage An Yi, in fact, he was even more disappointed than Jiang Yunshan and Qi Shengqing, but he had gone too far in the rivers and lakes, and his scheming was hidden and not revealed.

Jiang Yunshan sighed again: "Forget it, it's okay like this, it's okay like this!" If Chairman Chiang really died in Xi'an, I don't know how many compatriots would suffer from it, and the destruction of the country and the family would still be light...... Don't talk about it, drink! After more than ten days of busy work, it is time to get drunk and rest, come, let's have another drink! ”

The three glasses touched again, and the thick aroma of wine mixed with rich complex emotions drifted around.

......

Another night passed, and the early morning fog had not yet cleared, and the citizens who had risen early in Nanjing suddenly found that the number of officers and men patrolling the city had decreased considerably, and all the military vehicles that had set up machine guns to patrol the streets had disappeared, leaving only the garrison and the police on duty.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, most of the fighters on the Nanjing airport were missing, and the fighters of the Southwest Air Force had disappeared without a trace, leaving only two military transport planes quietly parked on the tarmac.

A convoy of five military off-road vehicles slowly entered the airport and, amid the salute of the officers and men of the garrison troops, came to a halt in front of the transport plane.

An Yi and more than ten generals of An Jiajun got out of the car after taking the lead, and the three beauties who came down at the end were An Yi's beloved wife Ou Chuer, Feng Jieyun and sister Gong Qian.

Ye Cheng, Gu Changfeng and other generals of An Jiajun said goodbye to An Yi, and looked at Ou Chuer and the three of them who were reluctant to surround An Yi with a smile, and they all took the lead in boarding the special plane with interest.

An Yi sent his two wives and Gong Qian to the gangway, and looked at this and that apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't go back for the time being, and when I finish arranging things in North China, I'll ask the commission to take a leave to go home and rest." I haven't been with my children for so long, and I always feel sorry for them. ”

"Brother Yi, don't say such things, we all know what you do, and we all support you from the bottom of our hearts! At home, you can rest assured. Chu'er said in a low voice.

Feng Jieyun looked at An Yi reluctantly, did not speak, Gong Qian sighed slightly and said in a low voice: "It's okay for you to go back to Baoding, just send charcoal in the snow, there is no need to add any icing on the cake, if you don't get it, you will be suspected of inviting merit, and retiring after success can play an unexpected role, I believe that the commission and Mrs. will understand your loyalty." As for southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan, don't worry too much, with us here, with Yang Bin, Ye Cheng, and Xia Jian, a group of like-minded brothers, we will definitely be able to share your worries. ”

An Yi nodded gratefully: "Understood...... Board the plane, and don't keep the brethren waiting too long. Yun'er, the new book is out, remember to bring me one. ”

"Hmmm! Brother Yi, take care of yourself and rest more! ”

......

An Yi sent off the brothers and his three beloved wives, said goodbye to Zhao Rui, Chen Yu, Qu Muchen, Tu Zhirong and other generals, boarded his special plane with a melancholy expression, and quietly flew to Baoding, which was icy and snowy.
