Chapter 333: The Nationalist Government's Countermeasures

Also that night, Li Tie, who accompanied Song Meiling on the midnight train, had just arrived in Nanjing. didn't even have a chance to rest, so she accompanied Song Meiling to the seat of government in Nanjing again.

At this time, in Commander Jiang's office, Kong Xiangxi, Song Ziwen, He Yingqin and other members of the National Government waited for Song Meiling for most of the night.

Everyone knew that Commander Jiang was arrested on the night of the 12th, and they had been waiting for Song Meiling's return.

Because Li Tie was instrumental in escorting Madame Chiang back to Nanjing in time this time, he led the way. He had the privilege of participating in a meeting chaired by Soong Meiling and Kong Xiangxi to rescue Mr. Chiang.

"Brother-in-law, Zhongzheng was arrested by Zhang Xueliang, you guys should find a way? How can we rescue Zhongzheng? Song Meiling cares about chaos, and when she sees her relatives again, she naturally has no idea when she has something to rely on.

"The top priority is to send a telegram to Zhang Xueliang to stabilize his mood first and ask him not to do anything that would harm Commander Chiang's safety.

Then select a special envoy as soon as possible and go to Xi'an to mediate with Zhang Xueliang. Strive to get Zhang Xueliang to put Commander Jiang back first. Everything else is easy to say. Kong Xiangxi had a plan in mind, and his thoughts were the same as those of most people in the office.

"Dean Kong's words are wrong, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng wolf ambitions, even took advantage of Commander Jiang's inspection to the northwest to launch a mutiny and imprison him.

In doing so, they not only betrayed the trust placed in them by Commander Chiang, but also betrayed the trust of the people of the whole country.

I think we should immediately press the border with a large army, increase the pressure on them, and make them dare not do anything that endangers the life and safety of Commander Chiang.

I just got the news that in this morning's incident, the guards around the commander-in-chief were killed and wounded, and the captain of the guard, Qian Dajun, was shot several times and is still being rescued in the hospital of the Northeast Army.

Moreover, the entourage of Commander Jiang also suffered quite a lot of casualties, and several important officers died of serious injuries.

Therefore, I suggest that this military coup d'Γ©tat launched by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng must not be tolerated, and that we should immediately mobilize Luoyang's 300,000 troops to force westward into Xi'an.

Then the planes around were transferred to bomb the surrounding areas of Xi'an, creating a siege on all sides for Zhang Xueliang, forcing him to release Commander Chiang. Minister He Yingqin, who is the No. 2 person in the National Army, suddenly spoke out and denied Kong Xiangxi's statement.

Song Meiling doesn't understand military affairs, she thinks what Kong Xiangxi said seems to be right, but He Yingqin seems to be right, but she feels that something is wrong.

But Song Ziwen saw that something was wrong: "Minister He can't help but save people's hearts, right?" We don't even know why Zhang Xueliang mutinied, so we rushed to send troops, didn't Qi trap my brother-in-law in a dangerous place?

Such a simple truth, even I can imagine a person who is not familiar with military affairs, Minister He, as the Minister of National Defense, and you have commanded the national army for so many years, you will not even know such a simple truth?

What are your intentions? Song Ziwen said that in the end, he was already full of voice.

Minister He also found that he was in a bit of a hurry, and the arrest of Commander Chiang was a rare opportunity for him, and it was unknown that he might take the opportunity to become the commander-in-chief of the Nationalist Army.

But now that Song Ziwen has seen his thoughts, he must immediately remedy it.

"Ah, Ziwen is right, I am also in a mess because Brother Zhongzheng is in danger. You must know that since the Northeast Army lost the three eastern provinces, Zhang Xueliang has put forward more than one request to stop the civil war and move the northeast.

However, Commander Chiang not only did not allow it, but also reprimanded Zhang Xueliang many times, and even seconded Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army several times to suppress bandits in various places.

In the past few years, the Northeast Army has been reduced from the original 250,000 to only 100,000 now, who knows if Zhang Xueliang's mutiny this time is to avenge his reduction of troops? So we still have to be prepared for the eventuality. ”

Hearing He Yingqin say so seriously, Kong Xiangxi had no idea for a while, and Song Meiling shed tears again:

"I have long advised Zhongzheng that he should not be too ugly to treat warlords in various places, but he just didn't listen, and the miscellaneous armies in various places in the past few years did not know how much Zhongzheng had annexed.

But every time he said that the elimination of these warlords was to inherit Premier Sun's legacy, and it was precisely because of the large number of warlords in China that he was in a hurry to eliminate the miscellaneous army.

But I really don't know about dealing with the Northeast Army, I thought Zhang Xueliang was voluntarily suppressing bandits, and I didn't know that his army had lost so much in the past few years.

In this way, Zhongzheng fell into his hands, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious, in case something happens to Zhongzheng, this makes me a woman, how can I live in the future? ”

Song Meiling's line sounds familiar, and it seems that many female comrades will say this when they encounter this situation. But in fact, all women who say this will live well in the future.

For example, Song Meiling in the previous life lived to be one hundred and six years old after the death of Commander Jiang, and that life was not ordinary.

Li Tie and Dai Li have been hiding in the corner and being silent because their level is too low, but he looked at the bigwigs of the Republic of China in front of him, arguing one by one in the method of saluting first and then soldiering, or using both soft and hard. Seeing that the sky was about to get brighter, Li Tie, who had been in the car all night, was also very tired.

He sighed and whispered to Dai Li, "Hey, why are you crying?" Zhang Xueliang tied up Commander Jiang just to stop the civil war and unite to resist Japan, don't you promise him that it will be fine?

Besides, Zhang Xueliang didn't know the importance of Commander Jiang to China, since he arrested Commander Jiang less, how could he hurt him. ”

As soon as Li Tie's voice fell, he found that there was silence all around, and everyone was looking at him, it turned out that when he was talking just now, the debate in the audience came to an end, and the entire conference room was silent.

As a result, his muttering was particularly harsh in the silence of the night.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with fierce eyes, Li Tie also felt a void in his heart: "Ah, I'm all nonsense, don't listen to me, you continue to fight." ”

As soon as Li Tie's words fell, Kong Xiangxi slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Yes, Zhang Xueliang has no deep hatred for Zhongzheng at all, and this mutiny is nothing more than trying to coerce Zhongzheng to stop the civil war and unanimously resist Japan."

In this case, we will send him a telegram tomorrow morning to comfort him first, and then we will send a special envoy to negotiate with Zhang Xueliang to see his specific conditions, as long as he can release Zhongzheng, everything else can be discussed. ”

"That's right, we don't need to be too anxious to transfer troops, anyway, Luoyang has 300,000 elite soldiers, which is more than enough to deal with the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army. We can persuade us to surrender first, and if we fail to persuade us to surrender, it is not too late to use force quickly. He Yingqin also took the opportunity to save his image.

"In that case, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and draft a telegram to send to Zhang Xueliang at dawn, as for this special envoy who went to Xi'an to inquire about Zhang Xueliang's true bottom line, who are we going to send? Song Meiling's sanity has also regained clarity, and she has become capable again.

"A strong general in the army can't do it, let alone an important member of the government, otherwise don't be a meat bun and never go back, it's best to have a close relationship with our national government, and at the same time have a good relationship with Zhang Xueliang and be able to speak.

It is better to be a non-governmental person, so as to ensure that Zhang Xueliang will not suspect that the special envoy is biased towards our national government. Song Ziwen kept talking about the necessary conditions for this special envoy candidate.

Just as Song Ziwen finished saying this, Li Tie suddenly found that everyone was looking at him together.

Li Tie was shocked in his heart, unconsciously stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and asked, "You don't want me to be this envoy, do you?" ”

Who knew that as soon as Li Tie's voice fell, everyone present praised Li Tie as the best candidate.

"Li Tie, although you hold the position of two government units, who doesn't know that you haven't worked for a few days at all, so strictly speaking, you are not a member of the government." Kong Xiangxi is coloring.

"Moreover, you were originally a businessman, and who in the Republic of China today doesn't know that you are the richest man in the world, not to mention that your business is all over the country, so strictly speaking, you are a person from the Republic of China, and it is really suitable for you to be this envoy." He Yingqin also began to praise Li Tie.

"The most important thing is that I know that you have a good relationship with Zhang Xueliang, and when Zhang Dashuai was still alive, you funded the Northeast Army. Later, after Zhang Dashuai returned to heaven, you also came to the Northeast to pay tribute to Zhang Dashuai, and even saved Zhang Shaoshuai's life outside Shenyang.

And later, you helped Zhang Shaoshuai's generals escape the assassination of the Japanese many times, and more times you paid for guns to help Zhang Shaoshuai fight against the Japanese.

And I also heard that you have a very good personal relationship with Zhang Shaoshuai, in addition to calling Zhang Shaoshuai brothers, you also mingle with the generals of the Northeast Army. That young marshal even took you into his family's underground treasure house.

You say, you have so many advantages, you don't go to be this envoy, who will? "Song Ziwen knows Li Tie well. Li Tiecai didn't believe it, this was the news that Song Ziwen inquired about, and it was obvious that his good buddy Dai Li betrayed him.

I saw Li Tie glaring at Dai Li beside him, and Dai Li's heart was weak, and he immediately looked to the left and looked at the others, just not looking at Li Tie properly. It was as if I was looking for something dirty on the ceiling of my office, and I looked very carefully and fascinatingly.

Seeing that Dai Li didn't even have the courage to look at himself, he was still not sure that it was Dai Li who reported all this to Song Ziwen, but fortunately, these things were not a big secret. So Li Tie just glared at Dai Li a few times before retracting his gaze.

At this point, it's useless to try to shirk it. However, Li Tie still declared to everyone present: "I don't know anything about government official business.

As for the procedures and materials required for the joint talks, they are even more blind. So ask him to be this envoy, in case things are messed up, and Commander Jiang will be hurt at that time, everyone can't resent him. ”

Who knew that Song Ziwen had already guessed that Li Tie would say this, so he ordered the general on the spot and found two Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel who were proficient in government affairs as Li Tie's deputies and went to Xi'an together.

Seeing that Song Ziwen had arranged things so carefully, Huang Shan could only agree to the task of the envoy.

Without further ado, we will set off immediately, just as the sky is already dark at this time, and you can directly take the plane of Huaxing Airlines to Xi'an.

At the moment when he left Commander Jiang's office, Li Tie suddenly remembered something, and he shouted to Song Ziwen: "Brother Song, I promised my wife that I would go home for dinner in three or two, and you help me take a telegram to the thousand-tailed scorpion and tell him that I am going to Xi'an on business." Let her have a good baby, and I'll accompany her when I go back. ”

Seeing Li Tiedu at this time, he still hasn't forgotten the personal feelings of his children, and the people in the room are really crying and laughing.
