That night, Yang Hucheng, who was dressed up, came to Zhang's Mansion alone and saw Zhang Xueliang with a depressed expression. Yang Hucheng stepped forward and patted Zhang Xueliang on the shoulder.

"Han Qing, have you finally made up your mind?" Yang Hucheng said calmly.

Zhang Xueliang stared at Yang Hucheng with red eyes: "Brother Yang, I, Zhang Hanqing, am blind, I used to regard Commander Jiang as China's great savior, and I believe everything he said."

He said that our national strength was insufficient and we could not fight hard with the Japanese army, but I believed it, and as a result, we lost not only Northeast China, but also half of North China. Later, he said that if he wanted to strengthen the country, he had to eliminate the situation of warlordism in China and the rebellious Red Army in the south.

I also believed, and as a result, I helped him to suppress the east and west, and the rebels suppressed more and more, and my northeastern army suppressed less and less. To this day, he still fooled me in front of me to lead my troops to fight to the death with the Red Army in the Northwest.

But he even gave the order in front of me to have his troops shoot at the unarmed patriotic students and the people at the assembly.

Is there a national leader like him? Is there a Chinese savior like him? I really know him today, and he is no longer the big brother Jiang I was willing to throw his head and blood for the revitalization of China.

He is now a cold-blooded politician who only excludes dissidents and only slaughters the people. Therefore, I must rebel, for myself, for the sake of those patriotic students and people in the northwest, and for the sake of the people of the whole of China.

Brother Yang, how do we act? Just say it. If I, Zhang Xueliang, have two hearts, I won't be able to die if the sky thunders. ”

saw Zhang Xueliang make such a heavy oath. Yang Hucheng showed an appreciative gaze: "Han Qing, you are very good, you haven't let me down yet, you still have a little backbone, you still know the people who love you."

We are all Chinese, and our duty as soldiers is to defend our families and the country, and we are by no means those warlords who only know how to scrape the people's fat manuscripts and make the people's lives miserable, let alone the kind of soldiers who can shoot at the people at any time.

The common people are our food and clothing parents, how can we fight against our food and clothing parents. So you dare to disobey Commander Chiang's orders, you are right. You are worthy of your dead father, a generation of heroes Zhang Dashuai. ”

"Thank you Brother Yang for looking up to me so much, since I lost the three eastern provinces, I have always felt ashamed of the elders of the three eastern provinces who trusted me, and even more ashamed of my father under Jiuquan.

Now I am also asking for my life for the country, I am also open, if I don't succeed, I will become a benevolent, rather than such a nest of naan to survive, it is better to do a vigorous job. Even if it's dead, it's worth it.

But Brother Yang, is it only our two armies that cooperate? Didn't you tell us what we thought about the Red Army? If we fail, how about a place to stay? ”

Zhang Xueliang has not yet rebelled and has already begun to arrange a way back, this is a typical thing that can only be done by people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, after all, he is young, and he has lived in a comfortable environment since he was a child, and he lacks the unique and decisive characteristics of Yang Hucheng, a general who has worked hard since childhood.

Yang Hucheng shook his head: "Such a big matter, how can you ask for help from people from the outside party, this incident is only known to you and me, and no third-party force is involved." However, if we succeed, we must invite the Red Army to send representatives as soon as possible.

Because our aim this time is to stop all civil wars and unite with the outside world, and the Red Army, as our old adversary, is naturally the object of our efforts.

Moreover, you and I have been in contact with the Red Army for many years, don't you think that although they are small in number, they are highly disciplined and have the demeanor of a righteous army? Perhaps, this future world of China, maybe they will really let them go? ”

"Brother Yang is really good at laughing, how can they win the world with the strength of the Red Army, they are at most an opposition party, and once Commander Chiang agrees to stop the civil war and unite with the outside world, it is still a question whether the Red Army can agree to be absorbed?" Zhang Xueliang raised his own questions.

"It doesn't matter if they agree to take it in or not, it's better if they agree, it doesn't matter if they don't agree, as long as they don't make trouble in the rear when we attack the Japanese army, it will be a great favor for our national army.

However, from what I know of them, they really want to resist Japan, so as long as we succeed in this incident, it is almost a sure thing that their Red Army will join the anti-Japanese battle sequence. ”

"Oh, Brother Yang seems to know the Red Army very well, so I can rest assured, I have actually secretly informed the 1st Cavalry Division to march to Xi'an from their station a few days ago.

A few days ago they went to the nearby mountains and hid. Now that we have decided to launch a military command, and the soldiers in the city are watched by the agents of the military commander, we can just use Bai Fengxiang's 1st Cavalry Division to complete this arduous task. ”

Zhang Xueliang has already prepared a candidate, it seems that he is also preparing with a red heart and two hands, this cavalry division can be a team to suppress bandits, and it can also be a team to launch a mutiny.

Yang Hucheng actually knew the Red Army very well, because although many of his subordinates had defected to the Red Army early, they still had contact in private, and he also agreed with many of the Red Army's ideas of resisting Japan and saving the country.

But he also knew that if he wanted to succeed in the mutiny in Xi'an, it would definitely not be possible without Zhang Xueliang's cooperation.

The entire Northwest is their Northeast Army and Northwest Army. In the vicinity of Xi'an alone, two divisions of each of the two armies were stationed.

If the two of them are not single-minded, as long as one of them defects to Commander Chiang, the other rebel will definitely be defeated.

Therefore, Yang Hucheng has been planning for such a long time, and he has not dared to launch it, because he has not completely won Zhang Xueliang. At the same time, without Zhang Xueliang's invitation, Commander Jiang would not have come to Xi'an carelessly.

Now that it's okay, Zhang Xueliang finally recognized Commander Jiang's face. This time he was heartbroken, and he was finally willing to cooperate with him.

With his joining, this military advice will definitely be successful. As long as they succeed, they could probably end years of civil war in China.

As long as he can end the civil war and unite against the Japanese, even if he Yang Hucheng is scolded by 10,000 people and his body is dismembered after death, he has no regrets.

On the night of 9 December, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng had a final discussion on the timing and steps of the mutiny. Finally, the army was scheduled to be launched in the early morning of December 12.

Two days later, in order to paralyze Commander Jiang, Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng went to Huaqingchi to apologize to Commander Jiang, and introduced their favorite general Bai Fengxiang to Commander Jiang.

Zhang Xueliang said that after Commander Chiang's encouragement before the battle, the current Northeast Army is ready for a battle, but he has learned the unfavorable lessons of the previous attacks on the Red Army, and believes that it is the slow movement of his troops that has given the Red Army sufficient time to prepare, which has led to the failure of several attacks.

Therefore, this time he deliberately transferred General Bai Fengxiang's 1st Cavalry Division of the Northeast Army to Xi'an from other places, and this time the 1st Cavalry Division will be the main force attacking the Red Army and the first to attack the territory of the Red Army.

The troops were preparing to launch a pledge meeting two days later, and on that day, they also asked Commander Chiang to personally go to the school to make the last pre-war mobilization.

Hearing that Zhang Xueliang not only explained his past suspicions to himself, but also took the initiative to put forward the idea of attacking the Red Army again, Commander Jiang was overjoyed, this kid can be regarded as enlightened.

Forget it, for the sake of his acquaintance, he won't break up his troops, and he also helped himself during the Central Plains War, and he can't do too much, and when the Red Army is destroyed, only his military power will be collected, and he will be a rich man.

However, Commander Chiang was still not at ease about Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's anti-communist determination. Therefore, Zhang Xueliang was preparing to launch a new round of attack on the Red Army on the 12th.

That night, Commander Chiang simply summoned all the generals of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army to convene the Sixth Conference on Encirclement and Suppression of the Red Army, and prepared to launch a general mobilization order on the 12th, and all the troops would attack the Red Army together.

It's a pity that the generals of the two armies who participated in the meeting did not react positively, which made Commander Chiang's heart uncertain, and he always felt that the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army would have to do things that they couldn't do if they couldn't do their work.

Therefore, Commander Chiang, who had always been suspicious and suspicious, again invited Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng, Jiang Dingwen, Chen Cheng, and Zhu Shaoliang to attend the mobilization dinner for the suppression of bandits the next day, that is, on the evening of the 11th.

During the banquet, Commander Jiang even played a trick of releasing military power with a glass of wine, announcing the order to appoint Jiang Dingwen as the former commander-in-chief of the Northwest Bandit Army, as well as the appointment letter of Wei Lihuang as the commander-in-chief of the border areas of the four provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Suining.

And the order ordering the Central Army to take over the task of suppressing bandits in an all-round way from the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army was officially announced. As soon as the order came out, the officers and men of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army picked on the spot.

This one said to go home and farm, and the other said to resign if he was sick. Commander Jiang coldly looked at the performance of the generals of the two armies in front of him and was unmoved.

He looked coldly at the generals in front of him, and he wanted to write down the reactions of these people one by one, and anyone who raised objections. He will have to settle accounts one by one in the future.

Fortunately, as the supreme commanders of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were very knowledgeable, and they vigorously persuaded the generals present that everyone had been physically and mentally exhausted in the past few years of suppressing bandits. Now that the Central Army has come to take over the suppression of bandits, it is exactly what we can't ask for, so why should we be unhappy?

Moreover, even if the Central Army was to go all out from Luoyang, it would take three days to arrive. But the order to march the whole army tomorrow has already been handed down to all the troops.

In this case, it is better for everyone to make a show in the next two days and advance thirty or fifty miles to the territory of the Red Army, which can be regarded as exploring the way for the brothers of the Central Army. Just wait for the arrival of the Central Army in three days, and then everyone will hand over the defense line to the Central Army.

Commander Jiang was very comfortable with Zhang Xueliang's knowledge again, and he had already decided that it would be a pity to only let him be a rich man for such an understanding Zhang Xueliang.

It just so happened that Wang Yaqiao, chairman of Hainan, had openly criticized himself more than once, and he had sent Zhang Xueliang to Hainan to be the chairman of the province after the Red Army had been suppressed this time.

If Wang Yaqiao is obedient, he will go around him, if he dares to resist, he will even clean him up.
