Chapter 631: The End of the Never
Looking at the report, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng knew that they really had no choice. The original intention of doing this was to resist Japan. If this results in the loss of their own defense forces, which leads to a Japanese invasion, this is not what they want to see.
In later generations, many "intellectuals" continued to analyze why Zhang and Yang launched the Xi'an Incident and what benefits they obtained. But in fact, even fools can see with their assholes that they don't do any good at all.
At that time, the red color belonged to the object of encirclement and suppression. The Nanjing government has nearly one million troops and hundreds of planes, and the detention of Jiang Zhongzheng is undoubtedly offending the Nanjing government from death.
What good can it do to offend the chairman of a committee with nearly a million troops?! Whether they kill Jiang Zhongzheng or not, Nanjing will definitely treat them as mortal enemies!
Moreover, there were more than 300,000 central troops on their side at that time!
What can be seen is what awaits them whether this happens or not. In such a situation, they still started this matter, perhaps they carried a trace of uncooled heat.
This proposal was finally agreed. After agreeing to this, the negotiations officially began! However, the two sides insisted on their own words, and Xi'an refused to let in the eight-point proposal at all!
And Jiang Zhongzheng's representatives, that is, Song Ziwen and others, are even more unwilling to make concessions! Negotiations suddenly reached an impasse.
At this time, Yang Yuting, minister of foreign affairs of the three eastern provinces, who was a representative of the national defense forces, rushed to Xi'an. On the day of arrival, he met Jiang Zhongzheng. The two talked secretly in Jiang's room for more than an hour, and then Jiang Zhongzheng's opinions on Xi'an began to loosen.
This couldn't help but surprise Zhang Xueliang and others, but it was not good to ask what Yang Yuting said to Jiang Zhongzheng. However, Yang Yuting saw their doubts, and said directly at Zhang Xueliang's private banquet.
Actually, there's nothing strange about it. Jiang Zhongzheng's eldest son, Jianfeng, is now in the Soviet Union and has been sent to Siberia. The commander-in-chief sent a letter to Stalin. His eldest son replied with a handwritten letter. ”
Zhang Xueliang suddenly realized. It turned out to be the credit of Jiang Zhongzheng's eldest son! The USSR is now in a civil war, and Trotsky and Stalin are in full swing! On the whole, Trotsky, who was financed by Germany, gradually gained the upper hand!
Reputedly. It's already time to hit Moscow! Stalin sold them to the three eastern provinces in order to be able to buy more weapons. Especially fighters and tanks, these two are too important for Stalin now!
"Han Qing...... Some words. I won't talk about it. You know how much you are taking this time. Yang Yuting looked at Zhang Xueliang solemnly and said in a deep voice: "The commander-in-chief asked me to tell you a word: Yu Gong, he is resentful of you for abandoning the three eastern provinces!" ”
"But for selfishness, you are his sixth brother after all. There will be a place for you in the three eastern provinces at any time, and if things really reach the point of being out of control, take people back to the three eastern provinces immediately. Yang Yuting looked at Zhang Xueliang and said in a deep voice: "Don't hesitate! ”
Zhang Xueliang was silent, and he drank all the wine in the cup! Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Go back?!" What face do I take back?! Meng Ben is running so well in the three eastern provinces, but I am a sinner who has lost the three eastern provinces. What face do I have to go back?! ”
"Even if I'm dead, I don't know what to take to see my father......"
Zhang Xueliang talked about Tu Qianjun. No longer call him "Junzi". Instead, he called the words, and this affection has already been born. Yang Yuting knew that whatever he said was useless. I couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Your Uncle Pao asked me to bring you a message, your father's mausoleum has been repaired." Yang Yuting sighed deeply. said to Zhang Xueliang: "Let Immortal Ge give it to the supervisor." Said the location was good. You have time to go back, and the old man should also be buried in the ground......"
After Lao Zhang's death. Because the cemetery was not built, it stayed in the ancestral hall of the Zhang family. Later, in 918, the construction of the mausoleum was delayed. After Tu Qianjun took over, the construction continued.
Lao Zhang has worked hard for the Northeast for most of his life, and he has worked hard without merit. At least he didn't cut the land and withstood the pressure of the Japanese, which is the greatest merit. Yes, there is no resistance to Tu Qianjun for Lao Zhang Xiu's mausoleum.
"Uncle Lingge...... What face do I take back?! Zhang Xueliang, who had been silent for a long time, still said the same thing, but when he saw him lowering his head and whispering slowly to Yang Yuting, he said, "Let Uncle Pao and Uncle Pao help me preside over it...... As for me, if I am lucky enough to die on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, bring my bones back with me......"
Yang Yuting was also silent, and the two of them finished the banquet in silence and dispersed.
Since Jiang Zhongzheng no longer insisted, the negotiations naturally proceeded smoothly. On the 23rd, negotiations officially began. Wu Hao, on behalf of Chise, put forward a six-point proposal for a peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident with the consent of Zhang and Yang.
After two days of negotiations, the two sides negotiated nine agreements, including "first expelling He Yingqin, Zhang Qun, Zhang Jiaxuan, Jiang Dingwen, Wu Dingchang, and Chen Shaokuan" and "organizing a transitional government." The threat of the Japanese was on the side, and neither side wanted to delay it for a long time. The final result was six agreements after each concession:
First, the Nanjing government was reorganized, the pro-Japanese faction was expelled, and the anti-Japanese people were accommodated.
Second, release Shanghai's patriotic leaders, release all political prisoners, and guarantee the rights of the people.
Third, stop the policy of "eradicating the red" and unite with the Red Army to resist Japan.
Fourth, convene a national salvation conference of all parties, factions, circles, and armies to decide on the policy of resisting Japan and saving the country.
Fifth, establish cooperative relations with countries that sympathize with China's resistance to Japan.
Sixth, other specific measures to save the country.
On the 24th, Jiang Dingwen flew from Xi'an to Luoyang and telegraphed to He Yingqin that the agreement between the two sides had been reached! Zhang Xueliang had already issued an order to the troops to escort Jiang Zhongzheng back to Nanjing. At the same time, He Yingqin also received an order to withdraw troops from Jiang Zhongzheng.
He Yingqin did not hesitate to order the Central Army, which had advanced to Shaanxi and Gansu, to retreat 1 kilometer and disengage from the 17th Route Army and the Northeast Army.
The matter was finally resolved, and the whole city of Xi'an was jubilant! On that day, the Republic of China was also jubilant except for the areas controlled by the three eastern provinces! Especially the "cultural circles". They were originally at the time of the Xi'an Incident, and they criticized Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng!
I can't wait to eat its flesh, sleep its skin and then hurry!
If these "cultural people" knew that Tang Degang, the son-in-law of Wu Kaixian, a professor at Columbia University and a veteran of the Nanjing National School, said that the Xi'an Incident was:
It is bound to be beneficial to the red, but it is not a victim for the Nanjing government and Jiang Zhongzheng himself. Even if there was no Xi'an Incident, Jiang Zhongzheng persevered in the eradication of the Red Army, but according to the examples of other countries in the world at that time, the outcome of such a war was difficult to predict.
The rise of the red color was caused by the great historical background of China at that time, and the red color had the support of the people and a theoretical basis. Relying only on military forces to eliminate Chi is "tantamount to raising the soup to stop the boiling without seeking to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle."
At the same time, Tang Degang believed that based on the fanatical arrogance of the Japanese militarist invasion of China in those years, no matter whether the Nanjing government's choice at that time was to "endure humiliation" or "fight a decisive battle," the result would be the same.
It's just that "the anti-war fighters, the 'jade shattered', the forbearance of humiliation, the 'broken tiles', and the desire for 'tiles' cannot be obtained." If it were not for the Xi'an Incident, and the Kuomintang repeatedly endured humiliation and made the result of 'shattering', then Jiang Gong and the Kuomintang would have been ridiculed in Chinese history. ”
But I don't know, what do these "cultural people" think?! But what can be known is that Zhang Xueliang must have been affected.
The whole city of Xi'an is celebrating, and Jiang Zhongzheng has also confirmed that he will take a plane to Luoyang tomorrow and then turn around and go directly back to Nanjing. But Zhang Xueliang was still sullen, and he responded to everyone's toast with a smile during the banquet.
And after the banquet, he was thinking about something with a calm face in his study. Zhao Si took a cup of ginseng soup, quietly walked into the study, put the ginseng soup in front of Zhang Xueliang, and said softly.
"Master, what are you thinking?! Isn't this all settled?! ”
Zhang Xueliang smiled and asked Zhao Si to sit beside him and whispered to her, "The matter is solved." But the anger in the chairman's heart has not yet dissipated, and if he holds it like this, it will always have an impact......"
Zhao Si couldn't figure out what Zhang Xueliang wanted to do, looking at her somewhat ignorant, Zhang Xueliang smiled and said to her: "Rest!" It's tiring enough for you to accompany me during this time......"
Zhao Si nodded meekly and left the study with Zhang Xueliang. At this time, she didn't know that Zhang Xueliang had made a decision just now! And the subsequent series of effects caused by this determination will involve the entire Northeast Army, and even the entire country!
In Fujian, two men in kimonos sat and drank on the Minjiang River. Sake and sashimi are placed on the low coffee table, but the rushing Min River is a good scenery to accompany sake!
"What a pity! This time, there was no chaos in China! Major General Ichiro Yasato, who was wearing a kimono, said to Lieutenant General Zentaro Wakayama, the commander of the division in front of him and the current commander-in-chief of the defense of the Minjiang region of the Great Japanese Empire.
Wakayama Zentaro smiled slightly, put down his wine glass and said softly: "Yamazari, in fact, the empire is not completely ready now. It may not be beneficial for the empire to go to war at this time......"
After experiencing the war with the three eastern provinces, the Japanese Army was obviously a little more pragmatic. But only one thing, they increased their training and recruitment, and at the same time encouraged major consortia to come to the Minjiang River to carry out predatory development!
They did not look at the combat effectiveness of the Nanjing government. However, they did not dare to underestimate the areas controlled by the three eastern provinces, except for strengthening the research and development and production of new fighters.
At the same time, they developed a new Type 89B medium tank, which was significantly heavier and more aggressive than its predecessor! After seeing the Wehrmacht's use of tanks in the Korean War, the Japanese army was obviously also moved.
This tank was strengthened and produced more than 300 units were equipped with the Minjiang River! Obviously, Japan wants to play a big group raid on the Minjiang River! (To be continued)
