Section 10 Aftermath I

On 26 December, Chiang Kai-shek flew back to Nanjing, and all the major officials of the Nanjing government went out to greet him at the Dajiaochang Airport outside Guanghua Gate, and the Blue Coat Society organized 400,000 people to welcome him outside the airport. The whole book [Chinese. ]

Chiang Kai-shek was in good spirits when he stepped off the plane, but on the contrary, the spirit of Soong Meiling, who was with him, was a little poor, and Chiang Kai-shek made a brief speech at the airport, believing that the incident was caused by his usual "lack of supervision and education and lax precautions," for which he felt very ashamed, and was very satisfied with the handling of the central authorities during the incident, and maintained the national program and discipline, eliminated the changes, and consolidated the national foundation, "so that the changes that shocked the world could be safely passed," he thanked all parties for their care, and the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an incident was the joint efforts of all parties in the country. It is also his personal wish.

In the greeting team, Zhuang Jihua only has the qualifications to stand at the end of the team, his status in the party government is not high, the southwest development team is a freak, said that the power is great, it has great power, and can control the military and political affairs of the two provinces; It is said that the power is small, it can be said that the power is very small, and the central government only openly gives the power of mineral exploration and development, and as for the rest, Zhuang Jihua got it himself, and the central government has no control.

However, Zhuang Jihua's status in the army is not low, with the rank of lieutenant general, and his subordinates control the entire two armies, and he is the most powerful one among the Whampoa students. But the officer corps is full of veterans of the Military Senate, these generals who worked hard in the middle and high levels of the army in the Beiyang era, all with white hair and the rank of lieutenant general. Waiting there to confess to Chiang Kai-shek, he didn't want to get mixed up in this pile. So he simply hid among the representatives of social elites and stood with Mei Yuntian, who rushed from Chongqing.

Mei Yuntian arrived on the 24th, when the Xi'an Incident occurred, he was in Yunnan, presiding over the implementation of Yunnan's legal tender, as well as the recovery of the Yunnan currency of the Fudian Bank.

And Mei Youlan, the eldest lady, is even more able to toss. As soon as the Xi'an incident happened, the reporter's nature of fearing that the world would not be chaotic came up, and she personally went to Xi'an to catch the news. As a result, she was refused to enter the city outside Xi'an, so she turned around and went to Nanjing, and when she arrived in Luoyang, she saw Song Meiling who was going to Xi'an, so she begged Song Meiling to take her to Xi'an, so she became Song Meiling's royal mouthpiece again, and accompanied Song Meiling to participate in the negotiations with Zhang Yang throughout the process.

Of course, when Zhuang Jihua and Mei Yuntian learned her news, she did not return on the same plane as Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling, and was still in the latter plane. But after this incident. Mei Youlan's status as a name of the Republic of China has been established. /

Seeing Chiang Kai-shek greeting with He Yingqin, Zhang Jingjiang, Chen Guofu and others with smiles on their faces, Mei Yuntian whispered to Zhuang Jihua: "Do you say he will do it according to your plan?" ”

Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "I don't know." We'll see when the time comes. ”

Zhuang Jihua persuaded He Jinhan and Chen Lifu to mobilize 500,000 people to gather at the airport along the Huangpu Road, while Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling would ride in an open-top car to receive cheers from the crowd along the way.

However, Zhuang Jihua was dressed in a lieutenant general's uniform, and he still stood out among the gentry, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was passing by in front of him, soon saw it, he stopped, beckoned Zhuang Jihua over. The surrounding gentry found out. This lieutenant general turned out to be not a "down-and-out lieutenant general".

"The Cultural Revolution. How did you hide there? Chiang Kai-shek had a sincere smile on his face, and Soong Meiling had already told him in detail about Nanjing. For Zhuang Jihua's performance, he is both satisfied and grateful.

Zhuang Jihua laughed twice: "It's too crowded over there." It's quieter here, and Shaoqing is also here. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "Oh, then don't hide anymore, I still have something to discuss with you later." ”

"Yes, Headmaster." After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he stepped aside. Mei Yuntian stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle, aunt, nephew is late, please forgive my uncle and aunt." ”

"It's good to come, what's the delay, Youlan's girl is still on the plane behind, she can help this time." Song Meiling said with a smile. These words made Zhuang Jihua and Mei Yuntian a little strange, in addition to writing some reports, did Mei Youlan do something great? The two were full of doubts.

"Kai-shek, you're a terrible student." At this time, a loud voice sounded behind Chiang Kai-shek: "I thought he would only fight, but now it seems that he is also a good hand at engaging in other things." ”

"Mr. Feng." Zhuang Jihua saluted Feng Yuxiang, and Feng Yuxiang replied casually: "Cultural Revolution, forget it, there are a lot of generals here, are you busy?" ”

Feng Yuxiang is right, most of the generals of the Republic of China have gathered here, He Yingqin, Zhu Pei, Long Yun, Cheng Qian and other more than a dozen generals.

Zhuang Jihua grinned bitterly when he heard this: "The boss generally forgives me, but the etiquette in the army cannot be abolished, hey, who made my life bad, I was born late, so I have to admit bad luck." ”

The crowd laughed, and their emotions made the hundreds of welcome people at the airport feel very relaxed, but in fact, in the eyes of these high-ranking officials, the evolution behind Nanjing's political situation was already visible. He Jinhan, Deng Wenyi and other leaders of the Blue Coat Society, although they tried to attract Chiang Kai-shek's attention, but Chiang Kai-shek turned a blind eye to them, although Chen Guofu went to Chiang Kai-shek's side, but Chen Lifu was always in the crowd, Chiang Kai-shek did not pay attention to him, and although the remaining He Yingqin was by Chiang Kai-shek's side, Chiang Kai-shek only greeted him slightly, not close.

Although Zhuang Jihua hid in the crowd, Chiang Kai-shek still called him, which is already very revealing, and Zhuang Jihua's prospects are promising.

Arrived at the waiting hall, Chiang Kai-shek sat down to rest slightly, Zhuang Jihua took the opportunity to explain his arrangements to Chiang Kai-shek, at first Chiang Kai-shek was a little displeased, he had escaped many assassinations, he has never liked to take risks, from the airport to Huangpu Road, such a long distance, sitting in an open-top car, undoubtedly like walking in the crowd, if one dares to take risks, the consequences are unimaginable.

"The students thought that the Xi'an incident was not the failure of the principal. It's the principal's victory. Why? Judging from the national reaction after the change, the president's status as the leader of the country has been determined, and there is no doubt about it, so the president's return should be cheered by the people and show his demeanor. ”

Zhuang Jihua spoke very tactfully, but Chiang Kai-shek heard it, he couldn't go back to the rest house in disgrace, and he couldn't go back like a freed prisoner; Instead, they should go back with great fanfare, like a triumphant general. Like a hero, go back as an indomitable victor, and go back in the cheers of all peoples.

He Yingqin looked at Chiang Kai-shek very nervously. As a person who understands Chiang Kai-shek, of course he understands Chiang Kai-shek's habits, and when Zhuang Jihua came to him for discussion yesterday, he resolutely opposed it, but he couldn't stand Zhuang Jihua's incorruptible tongue, and finally agreed to make preparations here and let Chiang Kai-shek decide for himself.

"Okay, Cultural Revolution. You're in good shape! Chiang Kai-shek's smiling words made He Yingqin's glasses almost fall off, and he couldn't help but glance at Chiang Kai-shek. How did he change sex today.

"Bench, this is not appropriate, this is safe..."Zhu Pei hesitated for a moment but still made his suggestion.

"It's okay, there are more than 30,000 soldiers of the 36th Division, the Nanjing Police Department, and the Central Military Academy along the way, and the commanding heights along the way are controlled by the students, and the students have two adjutants, who are very brave and can act as temporary guards." Zhuang Jihua explained the security measures to Zhu Pei and actually to Chiang Kai-shek.

"It's okay, Yizhi. It's going to be fine. The Cultural Revolution was notoriously fine in this regard. Besides, they didn't kill me in Xi'an, so it's even more impossible here. Chiang Kai-shek said lightly. Indeed, his support is now unusually high. Xi'an is still waiting for him to fulfill his promise, and overseas Deng Yanda, Li Jishen, and Chen Mingshu have also shown favor to him, who will assassinate him at this time?

Ten minutes later, Chiang Kai-shek boarded the convertible car that had been prepared earlier, but Zhuang Jihua still put Wu Ziniu in the passenger seat, Chiang Kai-shek's best guards were all in Xi'an, and there were heavy casualties on the night of the incident, and there was no one else around him for the time being.

The grand occasion was unprecedented, and when the masses outside the airport saw Chiang Kai-shek coming out in an open-top car, they immediately thundered with joy, and the ribbons and paper flowers were thrown at the car one after another. Chiang Kai-shek stood up from time to time and waved to the surrounding crowds, and the atmosphere was even higher, flowers, ribbons, paper flowers, one after another, floated down from the sidewalks and high-rise buildings on both sides, paved the entire road, the crowd let out a tsunami-like cheer, everyone's faces were filled with cheerful smiles, the car drove slowly on this fantastic road, Chiang Kai-shek's eyes were moist.

This hasn't happened in years, when was the last time? Chiang Kai-shek couldn't remember, he stood up again and waved to the crowd, and never sat down again. If at first he was a little bit unwilling to be interested, then at this moment he felt that he was a hero, a real hero, he did not give in to rebellion in Xi'an, he did not give in to anyone.

Now that he is back, Nanjing is still under his control, and the convoy is moving slowly, cheering one after another, as if the whole city of Nanjing is cheering.

"Who the came up with this idea?" Feng Yuxiang muttered in his heart: "It's obviously a prisoner who was released, how can it be like winning a battle." ”

"This trick of respecting is too high," Zhu Pei whispered to He Yingqin, and He Yingqin nodded slightly: "Chairman of the committee, this is like returning from a disaster, and the whole thing is returning with honor, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of noise in the newspaper tomorrow." ”

After a short journey, the convoy walked for a full 80 minutes, and Chiang Kai-shek stood on the car for 70 minutes, and it was not until he entered the Huangpu Road that he sat down unsatisfied. Huangpu Road is completely different from the outside, the whole street is blocked by the military police, three steps and one post, and it is heavily guarded.

The contrast between this situation and the outside is too great, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was excited, frowned slightly, and he muttered softly: "What is this for, is it necessary to do this?" ”

Song Meiling burst out laughing, and didn't say until she entered the door of the rest house: "I'm afraid this is the result of their compromise." The Cultural Revolution has tried its best this time, but you, this student, is capable and loyal, and really cares about you. ”

The excitement on Chiang Kai-shek's face was swept away, and his eyes were full of gloom.
