Of course, Zhang Xueliang would not ask the Datong Party to make a guarantee as Yang Hucheng said, and the credibility of this guarantee is not much, not to mention that the patriarchs will not believe it, and even he himself does not believe it.

So he just told Yang Hucheng about his difficulties and asked him to convey them to the Datong Party, and then the two sides would solve the problem together.

After learning of this situation, the Datong Party was very disappointed in the stubbornness of the Northeast Army, but in order to unite and resist, no matter how disappointed they were, they had to work hard, and they were not worried about what waves these old warlords could turn over.

After the negotiations began again, the Datong Party took another step back, and the Northeast Army was also compromised with Zhang Xueliang's unremitting efforts, and finally reached a cooperation clause that was barely acceptable to both sides. It's a pity that at the last moment, an unexpected event caused a new variable.

Just when the cooperation negotiations between the Datong Party and the Northeast Army were entering the final crux, the news of Kang Ze's ambush suddenly came from Jiangxi in the south, which immediately stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and gave the veteran faction of the Northeast Army another excuse to refuse to cooperate.

When they received a nationwide telegram from Ganxi, the patriarchs directly found Zhang Xueliang and shouted: "Stop the civil war and fight together." The slogans of the Red Bandit Army were shouted loudly, but behind the scenes, they were always engaged in conspiracy. See what this is? The Red Bandit Army not only re-established its base in western Jiangxi, but also strangled important cadres of the party-state. With such a two-faced organization, how can we rest assured that we can cooperate with them? ”

Zhang Xueliang was also a little caught off guard by Kang Ze's matter, although he also looked down on what Kang Ze did in Ganxi, but the Datong Party unabashedly publicized the punishment of Kang Ze, which was too much.

strangled the chairman's confidant and favorite general, how to fight together in the future, Zhang Xueliang really didn't understand why the Datong Party came out like this at this time, and didn't the red bandit force in western Jiangxi have been completely wiped out, why did it suddenly appear again.

Although Zhang Xueliang was very disappointed in this, this was a critical moment in the negotiation of cooperation with the Datong Party, and he did not want the cooperation between the two armies to fail because of this, and more importantly, the Datong Party's current military strength was too strong, and Zhang Xueliang did not want to offend the Datong Party at this time.

Therefore, despite his dissatisfaction, he still comforted the veteran faction in the army with kind words and persuasion, and personally assured that the Datong Party was by no means the kind of organization that was one thing in front of the other and one behind the other, and that Kangze's affairs were nothing more than self-inflicted evil consequences, and that the Red Army in Western Jiangxi and the Red Army in Northwest China were thousands of miles apart and were in danger at all times, and some practices were normal in order to protect themselves.

However, the patriarch faction was determined to disturb the cooperation between the two armies, and Ren Zhang Xueliang was unmoved, and finally the cooperation negotiations had to stop.

Although the Datong Party did not expect the Kangze incident to cause such changes, it did not think that everything was caused by the Ganxi Branch.

With Kang Ze's crimes, it is not an exaggeration to die ten times and a hundred times, and it is best to use him to win over the hearts of the people in western Jiangxi at this time, and the veteran faction of the Northeast Army is just using the topic to play, and its essence is that they are unwilling to cooperate with the Datong Party to resist.

Seeing the essence of the incident clearly, the Central Committee of the Datong Party will not blame the Ganxi Branch for its handling of Kang Ze's behavior, but will think about how to completely solve the diehards within the Northeast Army, so that they can truly stand on the same front as the Datong Party, instead of always guarding against each other.

Originally, in order to hold high the banner of righteousness, implement the anti-Japanese united front, and unite all forces that could be united, the Datong Party repeatedly made concessions to the Northeast Army, but the veteran faction of the Northeast Army did not appreciate it very much and repeatedly made difficulties everywhere.

In desperation, the Datong Party could only choose the second set of plans, first uniting the Shaozhuang faction within the Northeast Army, urging the Shaozhuang faction to obtain actual control of the Northeast Army, and finally cooperating with the Shaozhuang faction to fight together.

The second set of plans of the Datong Party had not yet begun to be implemented, and a new major incident broke out in the south, and the two Guangxi and Guangxi brazenly launched the "May 1 Incident," declaring the Chang Kaishen group to be an illegal political axe, and establishing the Guangzhou Provisional Political Axe, and the Changgui War broke out again.

At the beginning of the campaign, the long-planned Liangguang Group marched forward and won many victories in succession, and for a time the Jinling people's political axe seemed to be in a storm, and it was possible to collapse at any time.

Seeing that his sworn brother was in danger, Zhang Xueliang, who was already preparing to cooperate with the Datong Party, transferred to Chang Kaishen's side.

Such pedantic behavior made the Datong Party angry, and the Young Zhuang faction of the Northeast Army was also disappointed, but the veteran faction was very happy, and the young marshal finally stood on the same front with them again.

In order to support his sworn brother, Zhang Xueliang transferred Shen Ke's 106th Division and Tan Zixin's 10th Cavalry Division south to Chang Kaishen's command, in addition, Huang Yongan's 6th Artillery Brigade and Qiao Fang's 8th Artillery Brigade, a total of two divisions and two brigades.

Zhang Xueliang was so generous, Chang Kaishen naturally did not refuse, received a telegram from his brother, accepted Zhang Xueliang's reinforcements without thinking about it, and called back to ask him to be optimistic about the Datong Party entrenched in the northwest, focusing on surveillance, supplemented by encirclement and suppression, and after the Central Army completely solved the problem of Guangzhou, and then brothers worked together to eliminate the red bandits in the northwest.

Different from the "sympathy for each other" of the two bigwigs, the ordinary soldiers of the Northeast Army were tired of the civil war at this time, and their only thought was to fight back to the Northeast, and it was almost impossible for them to help Chang Kaishen fight Liangguang.

However, things are not without exception, the Northeast Army is not monolithic, and each division commander has his own small abacus. Shen Ke, Tan Zixin, Huang Yongan, and Qiao Fang had already left the committee, and when they heard that the young marshal was going to send troops to aid the chairman of the committee, several of them recommended themselves, and soon got Zhang Xueliang's consent.

These commanders wanted to leave, and the ordinary soldiers below had no choice, so they had no choice but to follow their division commanders and brigade commanders south, and they all regretted it after many years.

Seeing that Zhang Xueliang showed signs of favoring Chang Kaishen, the Datong Party had to speed up its pace to contact the Shaozhuang faction within the Northeast Army, hoping to use the influence of the Shaozhuang faction to bring Zhang Xueliang back.

Long before the Battle of Wuqi Town, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army captured many officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army, and after ideological education and transformation, many of them had completely switched to the arms of the Datong Party, including Gao Fuyuan.

Gao Fuyuan was originally the commander of the 619th Regiment of the 107th Division of the 67th Army of the Northeast Army, and he had discussed with Huang Xiansheng, a general in the Northeast, a plan to resist the war. Before the Battle of Wuqi Town, he was captured alive in a battle with the Red Army, and under the education of the Chinese Datong Party, he supported the resistance even more.

After the Battle of Wuqi Town, Gao Fuyuan was quietly infiltrated back to the Northeast Army, and secretly began to propagate the Datong Party's anti-Japanese proposition and anti-national united front policy, and successfully persuaded two battalions of the 110th Division of the Northeast Army to switch to the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

This time, the cooperation between the Datong Party and the Northeast Army, he spent a lot of energy running around, and this time the Datong Party decided to abandon the veteran faction to win over the Shaozhuang faction, so it was decided that he would be the matchmaker.

After receiving the order, Gao Fuyuan quickly contacted Miao Jianqiu, the core member of the Shaozhuang faction, and tentatively explained the thoughts of the Party Central Committee, not wanting to fit the thoughts of the Shaozhuang faction, so he immediately hit it off.

It's just that the Shaozhuang faction doesn't have much military power in their hands, and it's too early to completely grasp the right to speak in the Northeast Army, and the veteran faction is all old foxes, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to get the military power in their hands.

However, in order to resist the righteousness, no matter how difficult things are, they have to fight hard, and the young Zhuang faction quickly shifted their minds to the low-level officers and soldiers, as long as the low-level officers and soldiers are mastered, the Northeast Army is equivalent to being in their hands.

For this kind of thing, the Datong Party is very good at it, and at that moment it quietly sent many political workers to follow Gao Fuyuan to infiltrate the Northeast Army, and then Miao Jianqiu and others matched the bridge to contact the low-level officers and soldiers and secretly persuade them.

The Northeast Army has been wandering for many years, and it has long been fed up with all kinds of white eyes, and its only thought is to fight back to the Northeast, and with a little bit of support from the political workers, it will soon fall to the side of the Datong Party. It's just that there are nearly 200,000 people in Northeast China, and they can't easily alarm the top level of the Northeast Army, and this kind of persuasion is going very slowly, and they want to convince most of the low-level officers and men of the Northeast Army one by one, and they don't know what year or month it will take.

Therefore, the negotiations on the surface still had to be carried on, and the top level of the Datong Party was still working tirelessly to persuade Zhang Xueliang, hoping to open a pass from Zhang Xueliang and completely solve the problem of cooperation between the two armies.

While the negotiations were continuing, the "Changgui War" in the south was also in full swing, and after the early victories of the two Guangzhous, the offensive gradually weakened; on the one hand, the battle line was too long for the troops of the two Guangzhous to go further, and on the other hand, Chang Kaishen gradually eased up, gathered the superior forces in his hands and pushed back, and gradually fought with the two Guangzhous.

The war has reached this point, it has been a long-term war of attrition, and according to the unspoken rules of the past, the two sides should shake hands and make peace, and wait until they have recuperated before fighting a decisive battle. But now that the army in the north is eyeing the enemy, and the Datong Party in the northwest is gradually becoming stronger, Chang Kaishen really does not want to leave any troubles behind him, and he must eliminate one of them first.

Like Chang Kaishen, Liangguang and Jinling People's Political Axe have always had grievances, and they will rebel against Jinling People's Political Axe at every opportunity, and among the warlords, they and Chang Kaishen's group have fought the most, and they have the most grievances and hatreds.

It is said that Kou has repeatedly made difficulties, but the Jinling people's political axe has retreated again and again, and has already lost the hearts of the people in the world, and it has been defeated in the northwest again, losing three main forces, which is the weakest time. If you don't get rid of Chang Kaishen Group now, when Chang Kaishen recovers from the predicament, it will be even more difficult to get rid of Chang Kaishen Group.

With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Liangguang is naturally unwilling to let it go, and if the Jinling People's Political Axe is completely defeated, Li Zongren and Chen Jitang will not rest.

Chang Kaishen Group and Liangguang were unwilling to let go of each other, and the battle became more and more intense, and finally became a stalemate, and the gunfire of the front-line positions never stopped for a moment.

Just when the battle became more and more intense, Hu Hanmin, the provisional political axe president supported by Li Zongren and Chen Jitang, finally couldn't hold on and died, which directly affected the morale of the two Guangxi troops, and the central army also seized this opportunity to carry out a counteroffensive and won several big victories in a row, which tilted the originally stalemate situation.

The Liangguang army suffered successive defeats and its morale dropped sharply, and at this time, Kaishen launched another money offensive and bought off the Cantonese generals step by step, and the Liangguang alliance was suddenly in a critical state.

In the end, the surrender of the Cantonese system caused the failure of the alliance between the two Cantons, and Li Zongren had to retreat to Guangxi.

In view of the instability of the Gui faction and the growing power of the Datong Party in the northwest, Chang Kaishen urgently needed to expand his power in the south and eliminate his henchmen by the way, so he decided to smash the Gui clan to pieces at one time.

Not only that, but in Chang Kaishen's plan, after eliminating the Gui faction, he even included the Yunnan faction in his own control by the way, and only by gathering the strength of the whole of China did Chang Kaishen think that he had the strength to break off the Datong Party, which had received assistance from overseas organizations.

Seeing that Chang Kaishen in the south was no longer as critical as he was at the beginning, Zhang Xueliang's attitude changed again during the cooperation negotiations with the Datong Party, hoping to cooperate with the Datong Party to resist the righteous banner and completely put an end to the "Changgui" war.

At this time, although Gao Fuyuan's progress in plotting against the low-level officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army was not bad, it was not even a third, and the Datong Party could not help but become more and more anxious, and the Party Central Committee was very happy to see that Zhang Xueliang finally showed signs of turning around.

It's just that no one expected that after nearly a year of singing the song "On the Songhua River", the contradictions within the Northeast Army have reached the point of irreconcilability, especially after the patriarchs found that there were unusual signs in their troops, they pointed the finger at the Shaozhuang faction.

The young Zhuang faction is naturally not to be outdone, in the past, they could still take care of the face of the patriarchal faction, and they were very polite when they spoke, but now because of anger, they no longer hide their attitude when they speak, not only did they contradict the patriarchal faction many times, but even made it clear that the patriarchal faction was a soft bone, if it weren't for them, the three eastern provinces would not have fallen into the hands of the little devils back then.

Being ridden to the head by the Shaozhuang faction and scolded so loudly, the few elders with a hot temper couldn't stand it, and later saw that the Shaozhuang faction actually began to openly publicize the Datong Party's anti-Japanese united front, and the veteran faction represented by Miao Chengliu quickly arrested a few Shaozhuang factions privately, and suddenly one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and struck out the resentment that the Shaozhuang faction was holding in their hearts.

On the day of the incident, Miao Jianqiu directly found Zhang Xueliang and said to Zhang Xueliang in person: "Young marshal, look at what those elders are doing now?" We just appeased the morale of the army and told the brothers that sooner or later they would be able to fight with Xiao Yuben, and they only needed to wait for the cooperation of the young marshal and the Datong Party with peace of mind. But they didn't even allow us to do this, not only did they not let us do it, but they also arrested all my people, is this preparing to fight in the nest? ”

Zhang Xueliang was also very angry when this kind of thing happened, but after all, Miao Chengliu and others were veterans of the Northeast Army, and they all held the actual military power of the Northeast Army in their hands, and it was not easy for him to cut the face of others in person.

After all, now is a special period, once you don't grasp the strength of the action, if you don't pay attention to it, you will push these veterans to the Jinling People's Political Axe, just like the 106th Infantry Division, the 10th Cavalry Division, the 6th Artillery Brigade and the 8th Brigade sent in front of him, originally let them use them as reinforcements to help their sworn brother, but they didn't expect that Shen Ke and the four of them had already had the intention of betraying, and after getting out of the Northeast Army's sphere of influence, they announced their separation from the Northeast Army and transferred to the Central Army.

When this incident occurred at that time, Zhang Xueliang almost fainted with anger, and sighed that people's hearts were not ancient, so he could only blame himself for not knowing people, and he didn't see the betrayal of Shen Ke and the others.

The incident of Shen Ke and the four people appeared, and Zhang Xueliang suddenly raised his vigilance in the management of the army; without his orders, troops above the division level could not be transferred at will, and the change of guard of the battalion-level troops must also be sent to him for examination, so as to prevent someone with a heart from running away with the troops to join the Central Army.

After this incident, Zhang Xueliang's brotherly feelings for Chang Kaishen suddenly faded a lot, and he began to communicate frequently with the Datong Party at this time, hoping to reach a cooperation project as soon as possible.

It was only because of the change in his attitude that the patriarchal faction became more and more stubborn, so that today's thing has happened.

Seeing Miao Jianqiu's angry appearance, Zhang Xuehao comforted him for a while, and then asked his subordinates to summon Miao Chengliu and others, and the two sides talked about it peacefully, there was no need for his brother to be rude.

After Miao Chengliu and the others arrived, it didn't seem that they took the initiative to arrest them, but a victim, and immediately said to Zhang Xueliang with a sad face: "Young marshal, lowly people have been born and died with the boss for many years, and there is no merit and hard work. In order to help the young marshal's sworn brother win the Central Plains War, our Northeast Army did its best, and the three eastern provinces were disappointed before giving the little devil a chance. Which of the brothers in the army is not clear about these things? But what do those boys say now? They even said that as military commanders back then, it was because we had no flesh and backbone that led to the fall of the three eastern provinces. It's okay for others to say this, but why should they? ”

After Miao Chengliu finished crying, the other elders also cried and complained, blaming everything on the Shaozhuang faction, which made Miao Jianqiu on the side itch with anger, but they couldn't help it, because these words did be said by the Shaozhuang faction, and it was even worse than that, but if it weren't for the patriarchal faction who had been hindering and cooperating with the Datong Party, how could the Shaozhuang faction be so impulsive.

Seeing that Miao Jianqiu didn't dare to speak, Miao Chengliu and the others became even more arrogant, at first they still cried how miserable they were, and they were accused by the Shaozhuang faction for no reason, but later it gradually turned into an attack on the Shaozhuang faction, saying that they didn't have any hair, and now they are like jumping out to take power.

What's more, he scolded that he followed the boss to die in the past, which laid the foundation of the Northeast Army, without them, the Northeast Army would not have been able to sit on the three eastern provinces, and the Shaozhuang faction was not qualified to point fingers at them.

Miao Chengliu and others scolded ugly, not only Miao Jianqiu couldn't stand it, but Zhang Xueliang also couldn't stand it, but at this time, everyone was angry, and it was not easy to say anything serious, so he had to persuade each other to appease this group of elders.
