Chapter 339: Peaceful Settlement

Ten days after the Xi'an Incident, on December 22. With Li Tie's maneuvering, the Nanjing government finally agreed to send several senior officials to Xi'an for negotiations.

So on the 22nd, more than a dozen important figures of the Nationalist Government, including Song Ziwen and Song Meiling, flew to Xi'an on a special plane.

At the airport, Li Tie, Zhang Xueliang, Zhou Weiren, Yang Hucheng and others went to the airport to greet Mrs. Jiang and her party.

Because of the lesson of Li Tie's assassination last time, the streets of the pick-up from the Northwest Suppression Headquarters to Xi'an Airport were under martial law this time.

When Mrs. Jiang stepped off the plane, Mrs. Jiang first glanced at Zhang Xueliang with resentment, and then handed Zhang Xueliang her handbag and whispered:

"Han Qing, these are all my personal belongings, don't you need to check them first."

Zhang Xueliang didn't expect Mrs. Jiang to see him like this, and immediately said eagerly: "Madam, how dare you, how dare you, I haven't seen you for a few months, does Madam think that Han Qing will become a ruthless and unrighteous villain?" ”

"Well, there is a situation." Zhou Weiren, Yang Hucheng and others beside Li Tie did not realize that there was anything wrong with Zhang Xueliang saying this.

But Li Tie, who has watched countless bloody romance scenes in later generations, is different, and he can see the different feelings between Mrs. Jiang and Zhang Xueliang from this simple dialogue.

First of all, Mrs. Jiang is very fond of Zhang Xueliang, and secondly, Zhang Xueliang respects Mrs. Jiang very much, not ordinary respect, but a kind of respect that is reasonable and reasonable.

When Li Tie was a researcher of party history in his previous life, he was bored and read a lot of wild history of the Republic of China. Among them, there are many wild histories mentioned that Zhang Xueliang has always liked Mrs. Jiang, who is four years older than him.

If it weren't for the fact that when he knew Song Meiling, Song Meiling was already married to Commander Jiang, he would have pursued Song Meiling a long time ago.

And at that time, Commander Jiang had just launched the Central Plains War, and he also relied on Zhang Shaomarsh, and he also had great support and trust in Zhang Shaomari, and took care of Zhang Shaomarshal as his own brother.

This makes Zhang Shaoshuai always respect Commander Jiang and his wife, and when I look at it today, it is not impossible for this wild history of the Republic of China to say.

No wonder it was also Shaoshuai Zhang and General Yang Hucheng, who also imprisoned Commander Chiang. General Yang Hucheng's family was killed, and Commander Chiang did not give the order to kill Zhang Shaomarshal before he died.

It is said that it is because Yang Hucheng is the real culprit of the Xi'an Incident, and Zhang Shaoshuai is only an accomplice. But even if it was Yang Hucheng who was the first to put forward the plan, it was Zhang Shaoshuai who came forward to invite Commander Jiang.

If Yang Hucheng is the mastermind and mastermind, then Zhang Shaoshuai is the specific executor, and legally speaking, they are equally charged.

From this point of view, Commander Jiang only killed General Yang Hucheng's family and only imprisoned Zhang Shaomari, it is likely that there are two reasons, maybe it is really Song Meiling who has been protecting Zhang Shaomari's life.

Li Tie, who suddenly felt that he had discovered the big secret of history, was a little excited. Then he found Madame Chiang coming towards him, grabbed his trembling hand, and said cordially:

"Li Tie, it's hard work. Thank you. ”

It was just a simple sentence, and it really moved Li Tie to the end. In fact, Mrs. Jiang was also very moved, holding Li Tie's hand, Li Tie's hands were trembling, which showed that Li Tie's mood was very excited.

This also shows that Li Tie is sincerely towards Commander Jiang and his wife. In the future, I will have to take good care of Li Tie's little brother.

In fact, Li Tie at this time completely failed Mrs. Jiang's good intentions. He didn't know that his gossip heart had misunderstood Madame Jiang, and he actually secretly made up his mind that he must find a way to save Yang Hucheng's life, and even more so to save Zhang Shaoshuai from being imprisoned.

Fortunately, he had already reminded Zhang Shaoshuai in advance that as long as Zhang Shaoshuai did not go to Nanjing, he believed that the miserable prison life like the previous life would not be repeated.

It's just that I don't know if the love story between the young marshal and Miss Zhao Si, who is a good story in later generations, will happen if he is allowed to stir up like this?

Just when Li Tie was still gossiping, Mrs. Jiang and her party had already got into the car that came to greet them, and Li Tie also hurriedly got into the car, and everyone drove all the way to the Northwest Suppression General Headquarters.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Shaoshuai arranged for the bigwigs of the Nationalist Government to meet with Commander Chiang, and during the meeting, the two sides reached a consensus on stopping the civil war and unanimously reaching a consensus with the outside world.

On the morning of the 24th of the next day, the representatives of the two sides came to the conference hall on the second floor of the Young Marshal's Pavilion, where the representatives of the Nationalist Government were Madame Chiang and Song Ziwen, and the representatives of Xi'an were Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng and Zhou Enlai.

As one of the witnesses, Li Tie participated in this historic negotiation, and as with the original history, the negotiations went smoothly, and the CCP expressed that as long as the civil war was stopped and the foreign world was united, their Red Army could obey the leadership of Commander Chiang.

At the same time, their Red Army and Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang could set up a joint anti-Japanese command in the northwest, with Zhang Xueliang as the commander.

And Madame Chiang and Song Ziwen also said that they are both grandsons of Yan and Huang, and they should no longer kill each other, and they should no longer give the Japanese the opportunity to occupy China.

Therefore, the two sides quickly reached a consensus to stop all civil wars, reorganize the Kuomintang, and form a coalition government to jointly resist Japan.

Madame Chiang and Song Ziwen signed the armistice agreement, and then the two went to visit Commander Chiang again with the agreement and informed Commander Chiang of the contents of the agreement, and Commander Chiang basically agreed to the agreement.

Then, that night, Zhang Shaoshuai hosted a banquet for Madame Jiang and Song Ziwen and others at his hotel in Xi'an, but Commander Jiang did not attend the banquet because he was unwell.

In the banquet, Li Tie became the protagonist of the stars holding the moon again, and the achievements he achieved at a young age were something that many people could not do in a few lifetimes.

Especially when he learned that Li Tie's gunshot wound had fully healed, he knew that in a few days, Li Tie would leave Xi'an.

The generals of the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army grabbed Li Tie and poured it vigorously, even though Li Tie's alcohol consumption was already quite good, but unfortunately he was still outnumbered, making everyone drunk.

Li Tie unconscious let Wang Qi carry him to the guest room of Zhang Shaoshuai's hotel, and in the guest room, Li Tie was still full of nonsense: "There is adultery, I saw it, haha."

Wang Qi looked at Li Tie so drunk that he couldn't help but shake his head, saying that since he had been by Li Tie's side for ten years, it seemed that it was the third time he had seen Li Tie drink to pieces, right?

"Alas, I finally signed today, and I can go back to Shanghai in a few days, and I don't know how Li Yuhong and her mother have happened in the past half a month?"

The current Wang Qi is a man with many sons and many blessings. He has been married to Li Yuhong for six or seven years, and has given birth to four children, two sons and two daughters.

It's strange to say, this Li Yuhong has given birth to four children, and her figure is still not out of shape at all, and she is fascinated by Wang Qiwu every day. As soon as I left Li Yuhong for a few days, I couldn't think about it.

It may be that the Xi'an incident has been perfectly resolved, Li Tie's heart has no worries, or it may be that Li Tie is indeed tired from running around for many days, and it is more likely that the soldiers of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army were deliberately tidying up Li Tie last night, anyway, Li Tie's drunkenness was a day and a night, and when he woke up, it was the afternoon of the next day.

As soon as Li Tie woke up, he asked what time it was, only to know that it was four o'clock in the afternoon of the 25th. It was almost dark, and soon it was dark again.

Li Tieshun asked Wang Qi, "Commander Jiang, are they leaving?" ”

Wang Qi replied: "It seems that they left in the afternoon, saying that they would fly to Luoyang first, and then fly to Nanjing, and now they should arrive in Luoyang, right?" ”

"It's good to go, where is Zhang Shaoshuai? I'm going to talk to him about something. Li Tie asked as he struggled to get up.

"I also left, it was Commander Jiang and his wife who were personally sent by Zhang Shaomaro to Luoyang, and now all matters in Xi'an are handed over to Song Ziwen and Yang Hucheng to deal with." Wang Qi replied casually.

"Ah, Zhang Xueliang, this stupid guy also personally sent Commander Jiang to go, it's broken, it's a big trouble now." Li Tie exclaimed.

"Ah, boss, what do you say? I don't understand. Wang Qi couldn't understand why Zhang Xueliang would be in big trouble when he went to send Commander Jiang and his wife.

"It's strange if you understand, I'm still confused. Thousands of instructions not to send Commander Jiang, this Zhang Xueliang also promised to be good, why did I go and send it again after I slept in person.

Didn't I tell him that if he dared to go to Nanjing, he would send sheep into the tiger's mouth? Alas. Li Tie couldn't help but sigh, is it so difficult to change some history?

It turned out that at the dinner yesterday, Song Meiling suggested to Zhang Xueliang that his younger brother should stay in Xi'an to deal with related matters anyway, and Commander Jiang has been sick for the past few days, and tomorrow is the traditional Western festival of Saint's Day, so Song Meiling asked Zhang Xueliang to let them and his wife return to Nanjing tomorrow.

And Zhang Xueliang also knows the habit of Song Meiling loving Western festivals, you must know that the wedding between Song Meiling and Commander Jiang is a Western-style wedding.

Regarding the request made by the person he liked, how could Zhang Shaoshuai, who had already felt that he had imprisoned Commander Jiang and was a little sorry for their couple, disagree.

Therefore, he agreed to Madame Chiang's request on the spot, and arranged for the special plane that night to let Commander Chiang and his wife leave Xi'an the next day.

Who knew that the next morning, when some of the generals of the Xi'an Incident heard that the agreement had not been officially signed, they were going to let Commander Chiang and his wife leave.

These generals went so far as to surround the residence of Commander Chiang under house arrest with their troops, saying that they would not let Commander Chiang and his wife leave.

Zhang Shaoshuai, who heard the news, was afraid that Song Meiling's rudeness as a soldier would startle Song Meiling, so he immediately took his own soldiers to relieve the siege in person. At the same time, in order to keep his promise, he personally sent the two of them on the plane.

Who knew that Mrs. Song was afraid that the plane would fly together and let the air force in Xi'an shoot it down. And Zhang Xueliang is really afraid that these soldiers will do such stupid things.

However, he promised Li Tie that he could not go to Nanjing, because then he would probably never return. But Zhang Xueliang didn't plan to live safely at the time of the coup, he had already germinated a will to die.

So he personally wrote a warrant at the airport, entrusting his Northeast Army to Yang Hucheng and letting Yang Hucheng take care of it.

At the same time, he wrote a few more handwritten letters, and asked the soldiers to send them to several of his generals, including Bai Fengxiang, so that they could be on an errand under Yang Hucheng's account with peace of mind.

Even if they are gone, they are not allowed to defect to the enemy. Later generations commented on Zhang Xueliang's merits and demerits, saying that their primary task was to ensure the stability of the country, and at the same time, to train the troops well so as to prepare for the return to the northeast in the future.

In this way, Zhang Shaoshuai personally accompanied Commander Jiang and his wife on the plane. We arrived in Luoyang in the afternoon. Then the plane made supplies, and it was inevitable that the night was long and dreamy, and a pilot who could fly at night was invited to fly directly to Nanjing.

That night, the plane arrived over Shanghai as scheduled, but at this time, Song Meiling and the others suddenly discovered an important problem.

Because China has not yet opened night flights, there are no lights on the runways of various airports at night, so they cannot see the runway and naturally cannot land.

At this time, Song Meiling, who regretted not staying in Luoyang for one more night, became anxious, and the plane saw that there was not much fuel, and it was impossible to fly until daytime. In fact, the same situation is true at night at other airports.

At this time, Zhang Xueliang, who was on the same plane, suddenly reminded him to contact Li Tie quickly, this kid has a lot of ideas, he must have a way.

Then the pilot of the plane immediately contacted the tower of Nanjing Huaxing Airlines, hoping to find Li Tie quickly and find a way.

At this time, Li Tie, who was unable to sleep in Xi'an, happened to be in front of the telephone, and when he received this distress call, he really couldn't cry or laugh.

He asked the tower staff to deliver a message for him, and he had a way to land the plane safely, but he had a reluctant request and asked Madame Chiang to promise him.

Song Meiling is still wondering when this is, Li Tie still has to ask her, isn't she begging Li Tie now?

However, Song Meiling still agreed, and Li Tie's request was very simple, that is, to ask Song Meiling to ensure Zhang Xueliang's life safety no matter what. When Zhang Xueliang heard this request, his heart was moved to tears.

Song Meiling was still wondering, and said in her heart, how could I harm Han Qing. If it weren't for his personal protection this time, it would be impossible for my husband and wife to return to Nanjing safely.

However, Song Meiling still promised to do it, and then, Li Tie told her on the phone that she should wait for an hour, and the lights would arrive immediately.

Then Song Meiling found that the voice came from the air tower that was being transferred again, saying that Li Tie had hung up the phone, and they would send the lights soon.

Song Meiling is still wondering how Li Tie's lighting was delivered? And how quickly did you install it?

However, with Li Tie's affirmation, the people on the plane were also relieved. The plane still has enough fuel to fly for two hours, and hovering in the air for an hour is no problem.

However, only half an hour later, Song Meiling and Zhang Xueliang in the sky noticed that a long huge convoy with bright lights appeared on the road in the distance.

Soon, 200 cars of Huaxing Transportation Company drove into both sides of the airport runway of Nanjing Huaxing Airlines, and then on both sides of the runway, two cars were facing the headlights every ten meters.

Soon, a one-kilometer runway appeared in front of Song Meiling's eyes.

Song Meiling said excitedly: "Li Tie, you are a capable person." ”

Just as Song Meiling's plane was safely landing on the airport runway, Li Tie, who was far away in Xi'an, was still entangled.

This uses car lights to illuminate the runway, but after Song Meiling used it in Chongqing a few years later, did she still learn from me about using 500 cars to illuminate the airport runway with car lights?

But I learned this trick from Song Meiling in the later life, so who is the master of the two of us? Forget it, if you think about it any longer, you'll go crazy with logic.

Let's think about how to rescue Zhang Xueliang's stupid boy. Alas, it's really not worry-free, you know to make trouble for me.
