You must know that the demand for steel in the three eastern provinces is too great, and the steel needed for railway construction and residential construction alone is extremely terrifying.

In total, the steel has been saved, and so many military reserves have been developed, which is already very good! The need for a stable production capacity at the new plant is also a problem, and in general, it will take time for the three eastern provinces to catch up with Japan's productivity.

The topic of the subsequent meeting was the attitude that should be held in the face of the unclear intervention of the three eastern provinces. For example, to stop the actions of some abnormal people in Nanjing.

"I know that many people in the Nanjing government want to replace Jiang Zhongzheng." Tu Qianjun squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice to everyone: "This group of guys may not be able to make a move. In other words, they may not want to take this opportunity to kill Jiang Zhongzheng! ”

"We need to avoid such a thing...... Tu Qianjun said in a deep voice to everyone: "At least for now, Jiang Zhongzheng can't die!" ”

As Tu Qianjun expected, there were indeed people in Nanjing who tried to kill Jiang Zhongzheng!

At 11:30 p.m. on the night of the incident, the Nanjing Central Committee convened a joint meeting of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee and the Political Conference of the CPC Central Committee, at which it was decided to take over Zhang Xueliang's various posts and hand him over to the Military Commission for strict handling.

In the end, the meeting decided to use both suppression and appeasement, with He Yingqin as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army on the one hand, and Yu Youren as the ambassador of Shaanxi and Gansu on the other.

Song Ziwen told his sister Song Meiling the news, and Song Meiling, who got the news, had a rather ugly face! He yelled, "What do they want to do?!" What do they want to do?! Isn't this a trap to death?! ”

"Who said it wasn'......" Song Ziwen sighed and said in a deep voice to his sister: "Now that my brother-in-law is still in Zhang Hanqing's hands, what should they do if they jump off the wall in such a hurry?!" Also, they even sent planes to bomb them! Everyone knows what this is thinking......"

Song Meiling gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice to her younger brother: "No! Can't let them mess around like that! I'll write a letter, you find Duanrui, and let him help mediate......"

Hearing his sister mention Duanrui, Song Ziwen's eyes couldn't help but light up! Now only this respected person is the most suitable person to deal with the two sides!

William. Henry. Duanna. Born in Reesval, New South Wales, Australia, he worked as a typesetter in a printing house, became a journalist at the age of 23, and traveled to the Far East in 1903. He never returned to Australia.

In terms of experience, he was the first to obtain Yuan Shikai's secret "21" traitorous agreement, which was published in The Times, causing a sensation in the world and promoting the success of "overthrowing Yuan." In terms of interpersonal relationships, he once helped Zhang Xueliang quit opium smoking and prompted him to change his banner in the Northeast!

On qualifications. He successively served as an advisor to Cen Chunhuoxuan, the governor of Liangguang in the Qing Dynasty, and an advisor to the Father of the Nation, Zhang Xueliang and Jiang Zhongzheng, and experienced a series of events from the fall of the Qing Dynasty to the establishment of the Republic of China!

There is no better person than him! Song Ziwen nodded at his sister, and replied in a deep voice: "I'll go find him!" ”

"Ziwen later!" At this time, the eldest brother-in-law Kong Xiangxi spoke. Kong Xiangxi in the toilet said to Song Ziwen: "We must first show our attitude and tell Zhang Hanqing that we want peace talks!" But we must ensure the safety of the certificate! ”

As he spoke, Kong Xiangxi took out his pen and wrote and drew on the stationery on the desktop, and then handed it to Song Ziwen. Song Ziwen took it and took a look, and couldn't help but praise his eldest brother-in-law for being much more thoughtful than himself!

This telegram was drafted in a more tolerant tone. persuaded Zhang Xueliang to "always consult tactfully" and not to "be happy with the enemy", and expressed his "patriotism" to Zhang Xueliang. There must be a last resort" to understand in an attempt to stabilize Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng.

After taking the letter, Song Ziwen nodded, and then he hurriedly took his clothes and left Song's house. Song Meiling had a gloomy face, returned to the study and began to write letters to her husband. This letter will be brought by Duan Rui to Jiang Zhongzheng.

Tu Qianjun's judgment was indeed not wrong, in fact, He Yingqin had already known the news early in the morning of the incident, but at the same time, he strangely did not notify anyone, but instead summoned his henchmen to discuss secretly!

Subsequently, he sent people to invite Dai Jitao, president of the Examination Institute, Wu Zhihui, member of the Nanjing State Government's Political Conference, and Xiong Bin, vice minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, to his home to analyze the situation and discuss countermeasures.

Xiong Bin was originally Feng Yuxiang's subordinate. He believed that Jiang Zhongzheng, chairman of the Military Commission, had been detained, and that the person presiding over the military should naturally be Vice Chairman Feng Yuxiang, so he asked if Feng Yuxiang could be informed first.

But He Yingqin refused with "no need for the time being". At this informal meeting, He Yingqin had already set the tone for resolving the Xi'an incident by force, and at the same time assigned people to lobby and take emergency measures.

It was not until 12 noon that Feng Yuxiang received a phone call from Li Liejun, a member of the Central Political Committee and a member of the Military Commission. Learned of the Xi'an Incident. Later, Lu Zhonglin went to Feng Yuxiang's house to tell him. But Feng Yuxiang still doesn't know the details.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Feng Yuxiang wanted to find Li Liejun to ask what was going on, but he pounced on the air and went straight to the residence of Sun Ke, president of the Legislative Yuan. Only then did Sun Ke learn the news of Chiang Kai-shek's detention from Feng Yuxiang's mouth, and he was so shocked that he couldn't keep his mouth shut for a while.

Although Cheng Qian, chief of the General Staff, and Zhu Peide, director of the General Office of the Military Commission, knew about the changes in Xi'an, they sent people everywhere to find He Yingqin, and they only heard that He Yingqin had held a meeting with others to study the situation.

It wasn't until eight o'clock that night that Feng Yuxiang lost his temper that He Yingqin sent him a locked electricity. Zhan read the telegram, knowing the actions of Zhang and Yang, intended to force Jiang to resist Japan, and the burden in his heart was slightly reduced.

However, He Yingqin was still very angry when he did not report the details for a long time, and decided to find He Yingqin in person. As he stepped out of the door, he shouted: "For such a major event, how can you get it if you want to cover the eyes and ears of the world with one hand?!" ”

When Feng Yuxiang broke into He Yingqin's house, Li Liejun, Dai Jitao, Zhu Peide, Ye Chuling (member of the Standing Committee and secretary general of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang), Chen Bijun, Chen Gongbo (member of the Central Political Committee of the Kuomintang) and many other dignitaries were already present. Some people came at the invitation of He Yingqin, and some people came uninvited, all wanting to know the details of Xi'an.

And He Yingqin didn't know what he was thinking, so he directly blocked any means of contact, including electricity, news, etc. Even these big people don't quite know what's going on in Xi'an!

Feng Yuxiang and others did not know that the first step taken by He Yingqin was to temporarily keep the truth of the incident secret from Feng Yuxiang and other people who might sympathize with Zhang and Yang, as well as important Kuomintang members who did not know about it, on the grounds that the truth was unknown.

At the same time, on the pretext of military needs and strict censorship of the press, they cut off all communications and communications between Nanjing and the northwest, and blocked the news, so that the newspapers in the northwest and the declarations of Zhang and Yang could not reach Nanjing.

The Xi'an radio station broadcast day and night, explaining that the truth about the detention of Chiang and the anti-Japanese demands were all overwhelmed by the deafening interference of Nanjing's powerful radio waves.

Subsequently, He Yingqin manipulated the meeting and made a preliminary decision: "Zhang Xueliang will be removed from his post for investigation, and the army will be transferred by He Yingqin." After the meeting, at the urging of He Yingqin, in the name of the Nationalist Government, an order was issued to resign Zhang Xueliang from his post and be strictly punished:

Zhang Xueliang "hijacked the commander-in-chief", "a person who is responsible for suppressing bandits, acts with bandits"; "As a soldier, it is really a violation of discipline to offend a commander."

"He should first be stripped of his duties and handed over to the Military Commission; The troops under the command of the military council were placed under the direct command of the military council. This sudden ** incident made He Yingqin, who was in charge of the army on behalf of Jiang Zhongzheng, become the axis of Nanjing.

At 7 o'clock in the morning of the 13th, Song Meiling, accompanied by Kong Xiangxi, rushed from Shanghai to Nanjing with Jiang Zhongzheng's adviser, Australian Duan Na. She ignored the greetings from the people who came to greet her, and ordered the driver to drive into the Central Military Academy!

At 3 p.m. on the afternoon of 13 July, Ju Zheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Executive Committee and president of the Judicial Yuan, presided over the chairmanship, convened a joint meeting of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee and the Central Political Conference at the Central Party Headquarters. At the meeting, He Yingqin first reported on the current military situation.

The crusading faction led by He Yingqin and the moderation faction led by Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen quarreled again! The two sides are facing each other, and the quarrel is dark!

Soong Meiling attended the meeting in the capacity of aviation commissioner and wife of Chairman Chiang, and at the meeting she repeatedly stated that the safety of Chiang Zhongzheng must be guaranteed before launching military action.

It's a pity that He Yingqin directly ignored her. Song Meiling had no way out, so she had to play her trump card and said with tears in her eyes: "If you use force today, it will indeed endanger the life of the chairman!" If it happens, what if?! ”

He Yingqin snorted, and said coldly to Song Meiling: "What do you know about women?!" I just know how to save my husband! The affairs of the state, what do you meddle?! Don't worry about it! ”

He Yingqin's words directly scolded Song Meiling! He Yingqin said, "Okay! Good! You remember that! In the future, I want you, surnamed He, to see what the woman knows, or what does you, a stinky man, know! ”

The meeting has been noisy like this, and it will not lead to anything if it continues. In the end, Ju Zheng could only announce a temporary adjournment.

And He Yingqin has his own way after all, under his re-action On December 14, Ju Zheng took the opportunity to preside over the commemoration week of the national government, announcing that Zhang Xueliang was originally a person who was the result of the Central Committee's Qu Yu Quanji, and he actually committed a rebellion and surrendered to the red bandits.

At the meeting, he also encouraged the generals of the Whampoa Department to fight immediately without waiting for anyone's order, just like Jiang Zhongzheng did when he got on the Yongfeng ship! As soon as he instigated, a group of soldiers of the Whampoa Shaozhuang faction were really angry, and there was a great tendency to drive the army to go without waiting for He Yingqin's order!

After the end of the commemorative week, He Yingqin, Wu Zhihui, Dai Jitao, Kong Xiangxi, Feng Yuxiang launched another big tongue battle! But in fact, the war against Xi'an has already been launched!

Nanjing did not know that a group of officers wearing kimonos with Ren Danhu in the Minjiang River in the southeast were watching Nanjing's movements, and they were about to move...... (To be continued)
