Zhang Xueliang walked out of Huaqing Pond, where Jiang Zhongzheng was staying, with a gloomy face, and anyone could see that he was extremely angry! No one cared what he thought, though. At least none of these officials at all levels who came with Jiang Zhongzheng cared.

They all knew that as soon as Jiang Zhongzheng arrived on December 4, he had already convened a secret meeting with officials at and above the division commander level of the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army. At the same time, Shao Zili, who had always been silent, also began to carry out activities.

The meeting ended unhappily, and then on December 9 a massive march broke out! It is necessary to unite and unite to resist the Japanese invasion! The parade was so loud that some of the officers of the Wang Qu Officer Training Corps even took off their uniforms and joined the crowd.

"Stop the civil war! United anti-Japanese! Chinese do not fight Chinese! The crowd held signs and kept walking towards the general headquarters! Jiang Xiongfeng is no longer the miserable appearance he had when he was surrounded by the Northeast Army at this time.

Now that he has support, his face is naturally full of red light, but he saw that he was constantly shuttling through the crowd with those plainclothes people from the Shaanxi Party Department. Shaanxi's public security agencies were organized to stand in front of the marching crowd.

"Bang! Bang! Bang......" Jiang Xiongfeng, who was smoking a cigarette, fired several shots into the sky, and shouted: "Everyone immediately retreat!" Otherwise, it will be punished as a conspiracy!! ”

The plainclothes people below saw that their leaders had all been shot, so they were naturally not polite! Whenever the students who came out of the march came forward, they just picked up the sticks and beat them!

Suddenly, the scene was chaotic! Fighting, debating, pushing...... Everyone is in a mess! But after all, the number of plainclothes people is small, and when they see foreign reporters taking pictures, they don't dare to make a mistake.

So in the pushing, the procession finally marched to the northwest of the city center to "suppress the general government", the new city "Sui Bureau" and the north courtyard gate of the provincial government to petition.

At this time, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were not in the headquarters and the Sui Administration, but they all sent representatives to meet with the students, and said in public that they would fight the Japanese devils, and the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army would never descend and would definitely live up to the trust of the people!

However, Shao Zili, who met with the students, did not have these statements, although he also expressed his approval of the students' anti-Japanese enthusiasm. However, he also said that this "outside must first be at home" is a national policy! Since it was made by the chairman, it naturally makes sense.

This kind of answer made the students who were originally pacified by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng extremely dissatisfied. Li Lianbi, a representative of the Xi'an Federation of Students, and Song Li, a representative of the Beiping Federation of Students, and other leaders of the student movement decided to go out of the city, take a train to Lintong, and petition Jiang Zhongzheng directly!

At this time, Zhang Xueliang was scolded by Jiang Zhongzheng's phone call. Jiang Zhongzheng's face turned pale and said in a deep voice to Zhang Xueliang on the other end of the phone: "What do you want to do?!" What do these students want to do?! Threatening the country?! Threatening the Central?! A bunch of bastards!! ”

"It's not permissible to let them come to me. Students must not be allowed to come to Lintong!! ”

Jiang Zhongzheng snorted into the phone, and Zhang Xueliang scolded: "I'll give you the right to shoot, if you can't do it, let Jiang Xiongfeng do it!" As long as they dare to attack, then shoot back!! ”

Zhang Xueliang's face changed several times when he heard this, put down the phone call from Jiang Zhongzheng, and then hurriedly walked down. He knows. If these students are not stopped, there is no doubt that Jiang Zhongzheng will definitely order the military police and those plainclothes people to shoot the students who rushed over!

Zhang Xueliang's face was gloomy, and he caught up with the students in a car all the way. After all, these students are all walking, and the train has long been stopped, so as not to let them go to Tongguan easily.

The people stopped, but they still didn't want to go back like that. Many people insisted that they must see Jiang Zhongzheng.

"I understand everyone's desire to save the country and resist Japan. I also understand, but you can't do this kind of thing, and the chairman doesn't want to see you like this. If it continues. There may not be bloodshed! ”

Zhang Xueliang said bitterly to these students, but the scene cried even louder! Despite this, the crowd was reluctant to disperse after debating for a long time. The matter of the lieutenant who killed himself in front of Jiang Zhongzhen. It has been secretly spread all over Xi'an.

"For the sake of the country! Even if it's dead, what?! If we don't resist Japan, this country will die......"

Zhang Xueliang was anxious, he gritted his teeth and said to the crowd: "If you want to say hate, which of you has my hatred for the Japanese?!" Lieutenant Lin Tianrui, who died in the death, is a member of my Northeast Army! The matter of 918, from me to the entire Northeast Army, who does not carry infamy?! ”

"My father, Yuting Gong, died at the hands of the Japanese! In public and private, our Northeast Army and the enmity between myself and the Japanese slaves are as deep as the sea and do not share the sky! Zhang Xueliang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to everyone.

"I am here to assure you! Up to one week. I'll be sure to give you an answer! If not, any of you can come to my headquarters and kill me!" Zhang will never resist!! ”

Now that they had said that, the marchers handed over their petitions to Zhang Xueliang. Then, Zhang Xueliang mobilized the cars of the Northeast Army to send these students back to Xi'an City in batches.

Zhang Xueliang solved it very well, at least it looks good. It's a pity. Someone is extremely dissatisfied!

"What position are you Zhang Hanqing standing on?! Is it from the standpoint of a national leader, or from the standpoint of a student?! Are you representing me, or are you representing the students?! One cannot stand in the middle by being a representative of both sides at the same time!! ”

In Huaqing Pond, Jiang Zhongzheng pointed at Zhang Xueliang's nose with a blue face and scolded: "Someone insults the leader, you don't fight with him." What else is there to say?! Those who lead the rebellion should be arrested! Whoever should be shot will be shot! Make an example! ”

"Humiliation is to report the situation truthfully. I know them, they mainly ask the government to resist Japan, and there is no malicious ......" Zhang Xueliang tried to excuse the students who marched, and whispered to Jiang Zhongzheng: "This march, the order is good......

"These activities were instigated by red elements, how can you say that there is no malicious intent?! If you are a student, you should study hard, but some people just don't do it, and march at every turn! Shock the government! Disrupt traffic! Even gather crowds to make trouble!! Assault on government officials!! What kind of bullshit kindness is this?! Is it okay to shoot these people without guns?! ”

"I don't care what order they are! I only know that students can send representatives to report to the local government, and then the local government will report to the central government, and it is illegal to march without permission! There is no other way to deal with such illegal activities and refuse to listen to them, but to suppress them!"

"Disobedient?! I shot him with a gun until he was obedient!! Jiang Zhongzheng scolded Zhang Xueliang bitterly, and then drove him out of Huaqing Pool.

Jiang Zhongzheng, who was still a little hesitant about Zhang Xueliang, made up his mind at this time, he picked up his pen and wrote a letter for his confidential secretary to take it to Shao Zili, chairman of Shaanxi Province.

The letter said:

The chairman of the sub-grain is all confirmed

Ke secretly instructed reporters stationed in Shaanxi Ta Kung Pao to publish the following news: Jiang Dingwen, Wei Lihuang, and Chen Chenghou all went to Xi'an. It was learned that Chairman Jiang Dingwen had appointed Jiang Dingwen as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the northwest to "suppress bandits," and Wei Lihuang as the commander-in-chief of the border areas of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sui, and Ning provinces. Chen Cheng also came to Shaanxi to pay homage to Chiang, and heard that he would command all units of the Suidong Central Army in the name of deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs. However, there is no need to hand over this news to the Central News Agency and other reporters, and the newspapers in Xi'an do not have to publish it.

CSI December 9

At the time when Jiang Zhongzheng sent this letter, Zhang Xueliang had a secret meeting with Yang Hucheng in his study.

"Brother Hucheng, it seems that you are right! We've reached the point where we have to launch......" After serving the tea, the haggard Zhang Xueliang said in a deep voice to Yang Hucheng.

Yang Hucheng smiled unexpectedly, and said to Zhang Xueliang: "Is it your people going or my people going?!" ”

"My people go!" Zhang Xueliang gritted his teeth fiercely and said to Yang Hucheng: "The gate of Huaqingchi is held by Wang Yuzan, the commander of the first battalion of our Northeast Army Guard, and he is familiar with the route!" And it's not easy to get into the alarm. ”

Yang Hucheng nodded in agreement, after all, his Seventeenth Route Army was not familiar with it. went to break through, if Jiang Zhongzheng ran away, it would be a big problem!

"So, who's going?!" Yang Hucheng said to Zhang Xueliang: "This person must be trusted!" And the skills in your hands must be hard, otherwise a mistake will cause you and me to lose our lives, the Northeast Army, and the Seventeenth Route Army! ”

Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but smile when he heard Yang Hucheng say this! Facing Yang Hucheng, he said: "Brother Hucheng, don't worry, I have already arranged this matter!" Saying that, Zhang Xueliang asked his guard captain Tan Hai to go out and find Bai Fengxiang and Sun Mingjiu.

Not long after, Tan Hai took Bai Fengxiang, commander of the Sixth Cavalry Division of the Northeast Army, and Sun Mingjiu, commander of the Second Battalion of the Guards, to the study. Zhang Xueliang was also polite, and said to the two.

"General Yang and I have been persuading for a long time, but the chairman of the committee has always been unwilling to stop the civil war and resist Japan! That's why we decided to fight! Detain him and force him to resist the Japanese! ”

No surprise, Bai Fengxiang and Sun Mingjiu are not abnormal at all! On the contrary, Sun Mingjiu was still a little excited! This is to arrest the chairman! Now he can be said to be the most powerful person in the Republic of China, which is really a big deal!

"Commander, we can act. But I have to meet the Chairman first. Bai Fengxiang was much more stable than Sun Mingjiu, but when he saw him facing Zhang Xueliang, he said: "Photos are different from people, I have to see real people to do it." lest you catch the wrong person, or accidentally kill ......"

When Yang Hucheng heard this, he turned his head and nodded at Zhang Xueliang. This person was really reliable, but he looked at Sun Mingjiu suspiciously. Zhang Xueliang explained to Yang Hucheng with a smile: "Mingjiu is a member of the 'Anti-Japanese Comrades Association' organized by me, and he has long been dissatisfied with the national policy of the chairman!" I was overjoyed to know that I was going to do it. ”

Yang Hucheng nodded in understanding, and then Zhang Xueliang said to the two: "Tomorrow, I will take you to meet the chairman." But remember: don't show your feet! If the slightest rumor leaks about this matter, we will all die and have no place to be buried! (To be continued)
