Chapter 377: The mediation of the Xi'an Incident

Tang Qiu didn't say anything, one person can't do everything, leave enough space and room for others to play, the backbone has been established, and the details of the problem, let the Standing Committee members play a role.

These members of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee were very active in rushing to speak, perhaps in order to make up for the mistakes just now, in front of Song Meiling, trying to redeem the adverse effects just now, racking their brains, and offering suggestions one after another, only He Yingqinmu was expressionless and silent, and Song Meiling listened carefully and magnanimously, showing the bearing that the first lady of the Republic of China should have.

Mei Ting greeted the hero-like attitude, not caring about being in front of the public, hugging Tang Qiuli tightly, just now, Tang Qiuli's demeanor on the stage made Mei Ting dizzy, at this time, he was like a god in Mei Ting's heart.

However, Tang Qiuli was still worried about the occasion, and whispered in Mei Ting's ear: "Silly girl, so many people are looking at us," Indeed, he felt two very powerful gazes on his back.

He turned his head, smiling Song Meiling, calmly greeted him, his eyes were full of appreciation and meaningful gentleness, Tang Qiu's face was red for no reason, the lethality of the first lady of the Republic of China was really powerful.

Mei Ting reluctantly left his strong embrace, raised her huā-like face, and looked at her lover carefully, as if she wanted to find out what was different from him and others, which made Tang Qiuli feel furious in her heart.

The meeting of the Central Standing Committee finally decided to abandon the proposal of armed crusade and send a special envoy to contact Zhang Yang to seek a peaceful solution.

The Xi'an Incident Decision-Making Committee, composed of Soong Meiling, Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi, Tang Qiuli, and 27 other members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, was authorized by the Standing Committee to exercise full authority to exercise the duties of rescuing Chairman Chiang and to be responsible for specific matters, with the safety of Chairman Chiang's life as the first priority.

He Yingqin was excluded from the decision-making committee, at this time, he no longer had any capital to call the formation, the meeting of the Central Standing Committee was defeated, the ambition of the wolf son was also exposed, the minister of military affairs could not command the troops in the northwest to suppress the general, and there were no available troops at hand, he was really alone, and the situation was miserable.

At the subsequent plenary meeting of the Xi'an Incident Decision-making Committee, Tang Qiuli asked not to participate in the specific implementation process on the grounds of being young, not having enough Dewei and lack of experience, and everyone was willing to let him go.

At this time, Tang Qiuli was promoted again, and his current position is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force of the Republic of China.

After the Central Standing Committee meeting made a decision, the Xi'an Incident Decision-making Committee stepped up its action and decided to send its first special envoy to Xi'an to have face-to-face practical contact with Zhang Yang to see what kind of demands and conditions they put forward before making a decision.

The Australian native Duan Na was selected as the best candidate for the special envoy, this journalist born in New South Wales, Australia, has spent his life in China, has sponsored China's Xinhai **, and later became a guest secretary of the Beiyang government in Beijing, and was invited by Zhang Zuolin to be the adviser of Zhang Zuolin and his son, and participated in the planning of international affairs.

He had a close relationship with the then young marshal Zhang Xueliang, who spoke fluent English, thanks to Duanna's tireless teachings, and later, Zhang Shaoshuai changed banners in the northeast, and Duan Na entered the Nanjing Nationalist Government, participated in the central government, and served as Chairman Chiang's political adviser and a good friend of Chairman Chiang.

It is most appropriate to have this person as a special envoy, but after telegraphing Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueliang also said that he was very welcome to come to Xi'an to discuss a proper solution to the Xi'an incident.

Immediately, Duan Na flew to Xi'an as a political adviser to the Nanjing Nationalist Government, where he was ceremoniously welcomed by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, who brought a proposal from the Nanjing State Government to consult Zhang Yang's conditions, and informed Zhang Yang that the Central Standing Committee had set up a decision-making committee to resolve the Xi'an Incident, and provided a list of committee members.

Knowing that Qiuli's elder brother was among them and was in charge of military power, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were completely relieved, and they no longer had to worry about starting a war with the Central Army.

In order to have today's results, Nanjing and Xi'an, to be able to sit down and talk, Qiuli brother must have worked hard, from Duanna's words, it can be imagined that of course, the sinister situation at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, Zhang Yang and the two of them felt very much in their hearts, and no one wanted to see the situation of burning jade, although the two were ready to fight, and secretly rejoiced to have such a close friend.

Duan Na proposed to meet Chairman Jiang in person, and Zhang Yang readily agreed, and was personally accompanied by Zhang Xueliang.

After meeting Chairman Chiang, Duan Na presented a letter written by Madame Chiang herself, which contained a sentence: "At present, Nanjing is a drama within a play, and there is no shortage of people who use knives to kill people," and after reading Mrs. Chiang's letter, he was silent and sat quietly for a long time.

With his shrewdness, it is not difficult to guess that it was the one who jumped up and down, gloating, impatient, and hoping that he would die at the hands of Zhang Yang, and as mentioned in his wife's letter, Tang Qiuli tried his best to turn the tide and save the situation from the general, so that today's negotiation situation could be achieved, and Chairman Jiang was extremely moved.

At the beginning, he tried his best to promote Tang Qiuli and entrusted him with the important task of a senior official, the purpose was to win Tang Qiuli's heart, and he liked the strength behind him, afraid that he would be won over.

At the most critical time, I didn't expect that it was Tang Qiuli who directly saved his life, Chairman Jiang was quite emotional, creating and making people, a weak-crowned young man, turned out to be the pillar of the party-state, after that, Tang Qiuli in Chairman Jiang's heart, regarded as a lifelong reusable person, Tang Qiuli's requirements were all inaccurate, and he doubled it, and his grace was added to the doting Cheng Dù.

The door to negotiation is about to be opened, and everyone will go down according to this line of thought, and the day will come naturally.

The leaders who paid close attention to the Xi'an incident made the most active preparations, driving the main force of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi to the vicinity of Xi'an, preparing to fight against the 300,000 Central Army together with the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army.

On the second day of the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng immediately called the Central Committee and asked them to send a delegation to Xi'an to jointly study the aftermath of the Xi'an Incident and discuss the plan to resist Japan and save the country.

Leaders who are good at using power and plotting power immediately keenly see that this is a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity, and it is the best opportunity to turn the ** from illegal to legal and from underground to aboveground.

As a result, in order to resist the war, form a united front banner, openly build momentum, win public opinion, win the hearts of the people, and the Red Army of northern Shaanxi can go to the front and enter the vision of the people for legitimate reasons.

With the maturity and combat effectiveness of the government, if you drop a seed, you can grow into a towering tree, and if you fall a seed, you can cover the entire mountain and river, and the opportunity of history is to be regarded as a bandit and the Red Army, have the opportunity to go to the stage and play the leading role.

With the ancient city of Xi'an, in the northwest of China, at the foot of the Huaqing Pond at the foot of Lintong Li Mountain, Zhang Yang's gunshot, the door of opportunity was opened for the first time, and it could no longer be closed, and finally got the country.

There was no internal objection to sending a delegation to Xi'an to discuss the plan with Zhang Yang and form a united front, but there were two distinct opinions on how to deal with the detained Chairman Chiang.

One view is that Chiang is the de facto leader of the Republic of China, and there are many factions within the Kuomintang, and once Chiang is lost as a heavyweight, various factions will inevitably suddenly quarrel over the supreme leadership of the Nationalist Government.

With the civil war, the country became torn apart, and the damage could only be China's national defense strength, and it could only be the cheaper Japanese, not to mention anything else, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi of the Xingui lineage, Yan Xishan of Shanxi, and Liu Xiang of Sichuan, all of whom had this strength, and even Tang Qiuli of Pingjin, who was currently at peace with us and living in peace, all had the possibility of competing for the supreme leadership.

If Tang Qiuli, who was far away in Nanjing, knew that among the senior cadres in the ** internal ranks, there were people who looked at him like this, they would definitely be full of sour mouths and bitter smiles.

Another opinion is that Jiang was handed over to the people's public trial and sentenced to death, ten years of civil war, how many ** soldiers did he kill Lao Chiang, how many Red Army soldiers and their relatives he killed, Jiang someone's hands were stained with the blood of ** people, which one of you here did not have a blood feud with him.

Now, the opportunity has come, Chiang Kai-shek has fallen into the hands of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, who have good relations with us, not to mention, as soon as Chiang Kai-shek dies, the forces of the Kuomintang will fall apart, which will be more conducive to the Red Army getting out of the current situation.

At present, our main enemy is no longer Chiang Kai-shek and his army, but Japanese imperialism, which is full of ambitions to destroy China.

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek died, the Kuomintang was torn apart, and the Red Army was bound to be difficult to resist the Japanese invading army alone, and China could only fall into the point of destruction.

I sincerely admired the leaders of the first generation, who were able to put aside personal and partisan grievances and put the interests of the country and the nation first, and this kind of Xiōng cherishment and wisdom was indeed unmatched by any political party at that time.

The first lady of the leader, Ms. Yang Kaihui, was killed by Chairman Chiang's men, and in the later words of the great man: "How dare you damage the national and national righteousness with personal grievances"

On December 17, Stalin, General Secretary of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Council of Ministers, instructed the Eastern Department of the Comintern to consider that Chiang Kai-shek might become an important leader of the anti-Japanese forces in China in the future, and hoped to proceed from the actual situation in China, weigh the pros and cons, release Chiang back to Nanjing, and reply to the telegram, deciding to obey the instructions of the Comintern.

The internal controversy over the release of Chiang and the killing of Chiang came to an abrupt end, and a unified opinion was formed, and a delegation was formed to go to Xi'an to release Chiang with conditions.

Then Zhou Enlai, then vice chairman of the Central Committee and chief of the general staff of the Red Army, led Ye Jianying and Qin Bangxian to form a delegation to Xi'an to assist Zhang Yang in dealing with the aftermath of the Xi'an Incident.

With the participation of Zhou Enlai, who is very mature in politics and has excellent abilities in all aspects, the Xi'an Incident immediately embarked on the road of rapid settlement, and finally reached an agreement that was satisfactory to all parties.
