This is the first time Jiang Zhongzheng has seen the three guns, and he is not impressed! But at this time, Tu Sanpao did not have the consciousness of a threat, and he drank and burned knives with sauced beef in the office of the three eastern provinces with peace of mind.

These sauced beef are the best yak jerky! Let the cook in the office pass the oil for a while, it is crispy and delicious, and it is very chewy. The three guns squinted their eyes, took a sip of beef jerky, and poured themselves a sip of wine.

Ren Xinji, director of the Nanjing office of the three eastern provinces, was called by the cannon master to drink two glasses with him, but the helpless thing is that in this situation, who has the heart to drink except for the cannon master? !

If the cannon master loses a hair in Nanjing, the high-level people in the three eastern provinces can swallow themselves alive! Ren Xinji didn't dare to slack off, and took the military attaches in the office to inspect everywhere.

Outside, there are people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are secretly surveilling. I don't dare to say that the current office is solid, but if there is any wind and grass in the Nanjing government, the office is definitely the first to react!

Seeing that the cannon master was unmoved, and was still eating and drinking like a mountain, Ren Xinji couldn't help but sigh! Sure enough, it is the commander-in-chief of his family, and this calmness is rare! This Nanjing is a tiger's den in Longtan, and the chairman of the committee thinks that it is not a matter of one or two days to deal with the three eastern provinces.

It's just that the bribery is powerless and the force is not enough, so I give up.

Tu Sanpao was comfortable, but a certain person who came out of Jiang Zhongzheng's mansion had a headache. He is the presiding judge of this time - Li Liejun! And with him, there are also judges Lu Zhonglin and Zhu Peide.

As an early veteran, Li Liejun has his own news channels. He didn't know about the changes in Shaanxi, once this kind of thing broke out and caused irreparable, there was no doubt that he Li Liejun would be the first to bear the brunt of the black pot!

But if there is no judgment, it will not be done! He can't refuse, and if he retreats now, it won't be in line with his style. Gritting his teeth, Li Liejun still decided to hold a trial tomorrow! Good morning, good morning!

On December 31, 1936, the Nanjing State Government held a trial to try Zhang Xueliang, the main figure of the Xi'an Incident! Jiang Zhongzheng, who had already announced "rest" and "avoidance", naturally did not show up.

Even his henchmen were not sent, which made Li Liejun a little puzzled.

After the trial, Li Liejun proposed that because Zhang Xueliang was an army general, and the crime he committed was an attempt, and he had the intention of repenting, he made an exception to let him sit down. But Zhang Xueliang just nodded, without a smile or anger.

In order to avoid Zhang Xueliang's embarrassment during the trial, the pre-judge, Lu Zhonglin, proposed that the governor's name, age, occupation, and place of origin that he routinely asked about should be omitted, and the clerk of the trial would fill in the matter on his behalf. Li Liejun thinks it makes sense. As a result, the trial directly entered the process of presenting evidence and answering questions.

This process, according to "Li Liejun's Autobiography": "Xueliang's color is as good as usual, and his answers are straightforward and unscrupulous. ”

The dry trial lasted for a while, and Li Liejun announced an adjournment. After the review, the entire trial ends. The process is just over an hour. Li Liejun then informed the Nanjing State Government of the entire trial process.

Finally, after some discussion between the presiding judge Li Liejun and the judges Lu Zhonglin and Zhu Peide, Li Liejun reported the trial to the central government and the national government. Zhang Xueliang was sentenced to 10 years in prison and deprived of civil rights for 5 years.

After reporting, Li Liejun breathed a deep sigh of relief. So far, I have done everything I can. I can't control what to do with the rest.

However, unexpectedly, in the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Zhongzheng petitioned the Nanjing government for an amnesty for Zhang Xueliang, asking for "Zhang to be exempted from punishment." Of course, this is subject to "discussion".

On the afternoon of the end of the trial, Wang Kan and others came to Li Liejun's residence early to wait for news. As soon as Li Liejun's car arrived, everyone surrounded him. Li Liejun's first words when he got out of the car were: "Zhang Xueliang." Good character!"

Wang Kan anxiously asked Jiang Zhongzheng if he would kill Zhang Xueliang, but Li Liejun did not answer, just shook his head. While sighing.

After the report was submitted, Li Liejun's secretary Lei Xiaoyin asked if there was any inconvenience in announcing the content, and Li Liejun playfully laughed at himself: "There is no other affection, it's just that I was promoted to an official because of this!"

Lu Zhonglin was even more annoyed and didn't choose to speak: "Legislation destroys the law, and it is one of them!" ”

Lu Zhonglin's scolding is indeed a feeling in his heart, you Jiang Zhongzheng is originally a personal revenge! We have given it a trial, and you turned around and pretended to apply for "amnesty"! It is you who are driving the trial, and it is you who are the one who turns around and asks for "amnesty"! Are you playing with the law like your own puppy?!

New Year's Day in 1936 passed, and the bell of 1937 finally rang according to the Western calendar. And after hearing the news that Zhang Xueliang was sentenced to ten years in prison, the office of the three eastern provinces. With a sneer on his lips, the three guns continued to pour themselves a drink.

On January 4, 1937, the Nationalist Government convened a cabinet meeting. It was chaired by Jiang Zhongzheng, and the core issue was whether to grant an amnesty for Zhang Xueliang.

Originally, Li Liejun and Lu Zhonglin were really going to sneer and watch Jiang Zhongzheng act, but the result was much to their surprise! He Yingqin, Kong Xiangxi and other descendants of Jiang Zhongzheng agreed to the amnesty without hesitation!

However, "given that Zhang misbehaved as a deputy commander, he was a person who needed to be disciplined." It is to strictly control it in the name of the Military Commission! "Hear that. Li Liejun shuddered! It's not just a sentence! It's an indefinite captivity!

When Lu Zhonglin and the others heard He Yingqin say this, they couldn't help but have gloomy faces! If you really want to pardon, forget it, you are obviously not satisfied with our sentence of ten years! I want to be imprisoned for life!

In fact, they guessed it right! In history, Jiang Zhongzheng was equivalent to giving Zhang Xueliang life imprisonment. Until he himself died, he also asked his son Jiang Jingguo not to release Zhang Xueliang!

But this time. But it's completely different. Jiang Zhongzheng had bitterness in his mouth, and at this time he was thinking about whether he could really lock Zhang Xueliang up for ten years. Unfortunately, he also knew that it was impossible.

It is absolutely impossible for the National Defense Army, the Northeast Army, and the Seventeenth Route Army to lock up Zhang Xueliang just like that.

"Zhang Hanqing violated the law of the country, although he has the intention of repenting, he should not be spared. Zhang Zuoxiang, the former assistant commander of the Northeast Army, is now living in seclusion in Tianjin, and he is his uncle, so he handed Zhang Xueliang over to him for 'strict control'. ”

As soon as Jiang Zhongzheng's words came out, everyone couldn't help but be stunned! But the next words directly into the sky made Li Liejun and the others stunned!

"The three eastern provinces called, saying that Yuting Gong, the father of Han Qing, had built a mausoleum. Let him go back and bury him together, and it is the way of humanity to see off his father, and it is for benevolence and filial piety! Personally, I suggest that the government should consider it, and let Han Qing go to worship the Yuting Gong ...... first."

Suddenly, Li Liejun and the others looked at Jiang Zhongzheng as if they were looking at alien creatures! They never imagined that Jiang Zhongzheng would say such a thing. If Zhang Xueliang is handed over to the Military Commission for "strict control", this is still in the past.

Because that is equivalent to handing it over to Jiang Zhongzhen, whether to put it or not, and when to release it is completely up to him! And all of them have explanations, but Jiang Zhongzheng actually said that he would hand it over to Zhang Zuoxiang and let Zhang Xueliang go back to Dongsan Province!

This is simply a return to the mountain! Handing over Zhang Xueliang to Zhang Zuoxiang and sending him to the three eastern provinces is actually equivalent to release. The relationship between the Tu family's father and son and the Zhang family is well known to everyone. And the Northeast Army's little bit of dominance in the three eastern provinces may not be in the eyes.

Among the crowd, only Feng Yuxiang smiled and said nothing. used to be a big guy, but he knows a lot more than everyone else! Through Song Zheyuan and others in Beiping, he learned that the national defense forces in Shanhaiguan were urgently dispatching and assembling!

The 17th Route Army and the Northeast Army in the northwest were also urgently assembled. There is no doubt that Chiang Zhongzheng was threatened by the Wehrmacht and had no choice but to make such a move.

But Feng Yuxiang was not stupid enough to directly break this matter, Jiang Zhongzheng was originally cautious, if this matter was broken, it might be hated by him!

"This is my personal opinion, and I ask you to discuss it first,......" Jiang Zhongzheng said his opinion, and humbly faced everyone. Li Liejun and the others couldn't help but pout, and they were still discussing a fart?!

"The chairman of the committee is broad-minded and benevolent and filial. How could we object?! Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Zhongzheng's words fell, He Yingqin immediately jumped out and slapped him with a fart. After a long time, he concluded: "Since the chairman of the committee has made such plans, then we support and approve of it!" ”

Kong Xiangxi and several other confidants of Jiang Zhongzheng also nodded yes. This made Li Liejun and others even more inexplicable. But seeing Feng Yuxiang's eyes, Li Liejun and the others naturally did not object.

This proposal was thus successfully passed. In the end, the matter was discussed by the Nanjing State Council, but it was naturally impossible not to pass it after these bigwigs had decided.

January 4, 1937. After discussion by the Parliament, the Nationalist Government decided to agree to Jiang Zhongzheng's request and grant amnesty! At the same time, at the same time, because Zhang Xueliang "violated the law of the country, although he has the intention of repenting, he should not be spared" was deprived of all his powers and handed over to his uncle Zhang Zuoxiang for "strict control".

But thinking of Zhang Xueliang's father Zhang Zuolin's recent burial, it is the responsibility of the son of man to wear filial piety for his father! It was the government that specifically allowed him to go to the three eastern provinces to preside over the sacrifice. Then we went to Tianjin.

When the news came out, the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army in Shaanxi suddenly cheered! The whole city of Xi'an is beaming! Yang Hucheng, who was in Xi'an City, also breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then he secretly found Yang Yuting, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the three eastern provinces, to discuss.

They discussed something, but there was no record of it, no one was present. Afterwards. Yang Yuting sent a secret telegram to Fengtian. And Yang Yuting secretly settled in Yang Hucheng's mansion......

January 4, 1937, two o'clock in the afternoon. The door of Song Ziwen's mansion opened "squeak~". saw Zhang Xueliang quietly walked out of the mansion where he had stayed for more than ten days under the escort of several men in black.

He squinted his eyes, adjusting to the harsh sunlight. But he saw a man in a dark green military uniform standing in front of the door, looking at him solemnly. Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but be stunned, and then stepped forward and said to this man.

"Uncle Cannon......" Tu Sanpao looked at Zhang Xueliang, and suddenly a burst of anger rose! But looking at Zhang Xueliang's slightly lost soul. Tu Sanpao couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Let's go! Come back with me! He took off his military coat and draped it on Zhang Xueliang's body, and suddenly the majestic body of the cannon master like a tiger and leopard was revealed, and the green military uniform carried a fierce aura on his face!

Zhang Xue's conscience, who was wearing a military coat, warmed his conscience, and he almost burst into tears! During this time at Song Ziwen's house, it would be a lie to say that he was not worried about himself. In fact. He is also ready to be killed by Jiang Zhongzheng.

But he didn't expect that his Uncle Cannon and his family's soldiers saved him again!

"Eight-foot-tall man! The head fell off a bowl with a big scar, what cat urine flowed! Sanpao shouted at Zhang Xueliang: "Go back with me, and do the aftermath for your father first!" More on that later! ”

Zhang Xueliang nodded, and boarded the car with Tu Sancang. With the roar of the car, he slowly left Song Ziwen's mansion. In the study of Song Ziwen's mansion, Jiang Zhongzheng couldn't help but sigh deeply when he looked at the backs of Zhang Xueliang and Tu Sanpao leaving......

"You! Who asked you to accompany Jiang Zhongzheng back to Nanjing?! You've been kicked in the head by a donkey?! After getting into the car, Tu Sanpao immediately scolded Zhang Xueliang unceremoniously: "You don't know what Jiang Zhongzheng is?!" Go back to Nanjing with him and have your good fruit to eat?! Brain pumping! ”

can make Zhang Xueliang scold the fart, except for his tragic father, there are only Zhang Zuoxiang and Tu Sanpao. Without him, these two people really treat him as a nephew!

For the sake of the Zhang family, these two were born and died! Never fight for power. When Lao Zhang was alive, he had to look down on these two people, and he had always treated each other as equals, not to mention Zhang Xueliang? !

"Uncle, I originally thought that Jiang Zhongzheng would be a particular person. won't detain me......" As soon as Zhang Xueliang said this, Tu Sanpao became even more popular!

"Be a fart! This thief almost detained me! Jiang Zhongzheng scolded Zhang Xueliang angrily: "This deflated calf thing, it was only after killing Tao Huanqing that he took the position!" There is no shortage of dirty things! Pay attention to people?! Be a fart! ”

"Wang Jiuguang has given me the back, he Jiang Zhongzheng also voted for Huang Jinrong back then! Let's be born with a beard, and we pay attention to it. But he, Jiang Zhongzhen, is an old ruffian who worships the dock! Be a fart! ”

Zhang Xueliang scolded Tu Sanpao and didn't dare to say a word. I didn't dare to speak. The three guns scolded for a while, and then they were angry, and then they said to Zhang Xueliang.

"Your Uncle Fu Chen is in charge of the Northeast Army for you, and you will go back after sacrificing your father this time. I'll ask the soldiers to get you some airplane cannons, and the cubs in the team will have to handle it! Seeing that this Japanese cub is about to be killed, don't embarrass your father when the time comes! ”

Zhang Xueliang heard Tu Sancang's words, and tears really fell! He didn't expect Tu San Artillery to allocate weapons to him, you must know that almost all of the Northeast Army is now using the previous inventory.

The Nanjing government did not allocate any weapons and ammunition to them at all, and even when they suppressed the bandits, they only gave a part of the military salaries to the divisions that participated in the suppression of bandits!

"Uncle......" Zhang Xueliang's uncle, that is really from the bottom of his heart! Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. A man must eat a peck of salt with his friend before he knows him! Tu Sanpao took such a big risk for him, and it was a kindness to come to Nanjing in person!

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go to the airport!" Tu Sanpao said in a deep voice to Zhang Xueliang: "The night is long and there are many dreams. Let's go back to the three eastern provinces to rest assured! I have already asked Uncle Fu Chen to find a representative to see you in Fengtian, and when the time comes, you will give instructions on what is in hand. Arrange for someone to pick up the stuff ......"

Along the way, Tu Sanpao told Zhang Xueliang some details. First, let Zhang Xueliang's people report what they lacked, and then supplement them as needed. Specific to the place of delivery, time and escort, etc.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the airport, and the plane had already warmed up when Tu Sancang arrived. When they boarded the plane, they took off directly and flew towards Luoyang!

Arrived in Luoyang, after filling up the fuel, there was no stop and flew straight to Sui. There I changed planes and finally returned to Mukden.

And when Tu Sanpao and Zhang Xueliang were on a plane journey, Zhang Zuoxiang also held a meeting within the commander of the Northeast Army. The Northeast Army attending the meeting, whether it was a young Zhuang faction or an old faction, was extremely excited!

forced the Nanjing government to release people. This is an unprecedented feat! Although there is the credit of the 17th Route Army and the National Defense Army, this does not prevent the Northeast Army from being proud of it!

After all, the Wehrmacht is not separated from the Northeast Army?! Whether it's the old school or the young Zhuang school, in fact, they all think like this in their hearts. There are even Shaozhuang factions who think that the army was one of the leaders of our Shaozhuang faction back then!

"Everybody, look at this message!" Zhang Zuoxiang handed the telegram to everyone and said with a smile: "The commander has already returned to Fengtian first. The old man wants to be buried, and he always has to go back. The Minister of War of the Wehrmacht, also known as Tu Sanpaillan, has promised to support some of our weapons and ammunition. ”

"Everyone should elect representatives and go back with Yang Linge, the foreign minister of the three eastern provinces. One is to go to the commander and follow the instructions. The other is to talk to the Defence Forces about the issue of arms......"

The people of the Northeast Army nodded and kept circulating this telegram from Nanjing, but they were not wary of the Wehrmacht. If they have the heart to swallow them. Then let Suiyuan's Third Legion move directly!

Others don't know, but they know! The Third Legion came out with the slaughtering tiger all the way to fight Lao Maozi and fight Japanese devils! Now there are more than 20 troops in Suiyuan, equipped with advanced weapons including tanks, fighter jets, etc.!

Not to mention the Northeast Army, even the Northeast Army, together with the 17th Route Army and the Central Army, is not necessarily an opponent of others.

After reading the telegram, the generals of the Northeast Army chattered and discussed in a mess! Zhang Zuoxiang didn't stop it, this matter was originally a big deal! The person who goes has to be able to do it enough, and it has to be trusted by everyone.

After half a day of chattering and discussion, two people were finally selected. One is the old-school Wang Yizhe, and the other is Sun Mingjiu, who participated in the arrest of Jiang Zhongzheng.

After the person has been selected. They began to prepare for the three eastern provinces.

At this time, the three eastern provinces were also meeting. Tu Qianjun couldn't laugh or cry when he took the telegram sent back by Yang Yuting, and said to Yan Zhengqing and the others in the conference room: "Let's take a look, I don't know what to do about this......

Yan Zhengqing and the others read the telegram sent back by Yang Yuting from Xi'an, and the expression on their faces suddenly became strange. This telegram was Yang Hucheng's request for a secret talk with Yang Yuting -- to be incorporated into the National Defense Forces!

The reason why Yang Hucheng did this is also very simple, after Jiang Zhongzheng detained Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng was full of fear! He doesn't have Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army, which has relatively strong combat effectiveness, nearly 200,000, and he doesn't have more than 1 million national defense forces as backers!

If Jiang Zhongzheng cleaned him up. Then he Yang Hucheng can only be a lamb to the slaughter! Of course, the man was not willing to sit still, and after thinking about it, he saw that the National Defense Army was doing his best for Zhang Xueliang, and Yang Hucheng was also moved!

This is looking for a backer, first of all, this backer must be hard enough. There is no doubt that the three eastern provinces are definitely tough! There is no doubt that it can go head-to-head with the Soviet Union and Japan.

Secondly, you can't be unloaded and killed by the donkey. Jiang Zhongzheng's favorite thing to do is to unload the mill and kill the donkey. This is actually one of the reasons why the battlefield of the Liberation War was later turned against the commander and the small soldiers.

Wang Jialie tried his best to suppress the bandits, but he was wiped out! Zhang Xueliang also tried his best to suppress the bandits, and without two divisions, not only did he not add it, but also withdrew the number! That's what I did. Genuinely unkind.

Now that Yang Hucheng has offended him Jiang Zhongzheng to death, it will definitely not be possible if he doesn't find some way back. didn't look at Zhang Xueliang, who was an escort and guilty of Jing petitioning, but Jiang Zhongzheng directly detained and planned to sentence without saying a word? !

This is the consequence of this guilt. I can imagine what I will encounter when I squat in Xi'an. It's better to find a backer before he makes a move, so as to avoid being liquidated by him Jiang Zhongzheng!

Thinking about it this way, the three eastern provinces naturally entered Yang Hucheng's sight without any surprise. Subsequently, Yang Hucheng found Yang Yuting, who was staying in Xi'an, and inquired about Yunnan, Xikang and Xinjiang.

Who is Yang Yuting?! This old guy is a person who has been playing politics since the Xinhai period, and he has seen a lot of people abroad and has a broader vision in the market! Yang Hucheng opened his mouth, and Yang Yuting knew what he was going to say.

At the moment, he was not polite, and directly explained the various rules and regulations of the three eastern provinces, and the management of officials. At the same time, the current situation of Yang Zengxin, Long Yun and others was introduced.

Yang Zengxin's son, Yang Jialie, is now working as an intern mayor in Fengtian Fengcheng Bianmen Town. Subsequent performance appraisal if good. will be transferred to Fengcheng to hold important positions. As long as there are no accidents and things are good, then Yang Jialie is at least a provincial governor.

Long Yun's two sons, Long Shenzeng and Long Shenwu, studied in the Senior Command Department at the Northeast National Defense University. They would then serve in the Korean theater of operations, starting as a lieutenant platoon commander.

After accumulating military merits and qualifications, their promotion goals are major generals, lieutenant generals, and even generals!

Yang Yuting's introduction. It made Yang Hucheng even more tempted! In these years, basically fighting all your life is just for the sake of your children and grandchildren?! This baby has a place to go and a place to go, who doesn't want to?!

So Yang Hucheng tactfully and cautiously put forward to Yang Yuting the idea that he wanted to contact the National Defense Force, and Yang Yuting was of course not surprised. However, he still told Yang Hucheng that this needs to be consulted by other people in the three eastern provinces. Especially Yan Zhengqing, the governor of the three eastern provinces.

In the telegram, Yang Yuting stated his thoughts. First of all, entering Shaanxi can expand the influence of the National Defense Forces in the Central Plains. At present, Gansu and Ningxia have basically been pacified.

The fall of the Ma family made many people realize that the Wehrmacht is not easy to mess with! The horse bandits wisely began to think about washing their hands of gold and honestly naturalizing. Some people who are still nostalgic for this kind of life have chosen to leave the two places.

Of course, the Wehrmacht was not polite either! After entering the two places, they were first given a month to disarm. Then they directly launched a purge, and those who surrendered were sentenced in accordance with the law. The stubborn ones directly killed the account.

Years of suppressing bandits, together with the division of various pieces of land, the confiscation and redistribution of the Ma family's land, etc., have allowed the Wehrmacht to gain a firm foothold in both places. The students of the Three Eastern Provinces Teachers' College went out en masse and began their teaching career after learning some of the local language.

And at the same time. Some of the immigrants who fled to the three eastern provinces were also assigned to Gansu and Ningxia. With the lure of five years of tax exemption and the provision of good seeds, funds and housing tools, these refugees came to these two identities.

The three eastern provinces of Xinjiang have also done the same, and the results have been very good! Basically, with the strong intervention of the government, the spread of culture is very fast! At least the first batch of civil servants of all nationalities have already begun to take up their posts.

Of course, their first stop was not locally but in the three eastern provinces. At the same time, their families will also be taken out to enjoy the bustling world of the three eastern provinces. This is the method proposed by Yan Zhengqing, in order to test these people. Only those who are fully qualified in thought and action will be reassigned to their local posts.

Otherwise, they will be promoted, live and work in the three eastern provinces forever. In order to play a role in differentiation. Prevent them from coming together to form a separatist force!

Infiltration, division, and finally integration, this is the attitude of the three eastern provinces towards the border forces.

Now that Gansu has been pacified, entering Shaanxi to expand the influence of the three eastern provinces can also be considered on the agenda. Although the soldiers of the 17th Route Army are more miscellaneous now, they are all veterans.

After training and ideological guidance, it was not difficult for them to become the main force of resistance against Japan. Now the three eastern provinces are in urgent need of soldiers with war experience, and these nearly 100,000 veterans are a great fortune!

Finally, Yang Yuting mentioned oil. Yanchang Oil, this is China's first onshore oil well! Since oil has been found here, it proves that Shaanxi also has oil!

Although this well is now in the red control zone. However, the joint development of this oil well by the relationship between the three eastern provinces and the red is not a problem. The Japanese have been coveting the oil here for a long time!

In 1905, Japanese miner Shojiro Abe went to Yanchang to explore oil, and then Japanese technician Yaro Sato drilled the first oil well! In 1910, Otsuka, a doctor of science from Japan, came to extend the geological survey. "A total of 4 oil fields were surveyed, and 4 drawings were drawn" 35 well locations were estimated!

In other words, there is no doubt that the Japanese have sinister intentions for this place! The Red Army and the 17th Route Army were undoubtedly unable to resist the Japanese attack, and once this place was captured by the Japanese and allowed them to obtain oil, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow!

To sum up, Yang Yuting believes that the Wehrmacht must control this area! Originally, the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army were here, and in order not to lose the national defense force that was not strong in itself, the National Defense Army never started.

But now. Since Yang Hucheng has found it himself, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the National Defense Force to enter Shaanxi! Taking root here, and at the same time uniting the Red and Northeast Army units to build railways and other support transportation, it is believed that it will be enough to resist a possible Japanese attack.

After Yan Zhengqing finished reading this secret message, he said to everyone: "Everyone knows the views of neighbors, and I want to know what everyone thinks about this matter. ”

Look at me, people. I see you don't squeak. In the end, it was Shen Junru who opened his mouth first.

"I think the neighbors have a good view, the oil here is too important! It's just that the Japanese know this place well, if they really attack it, who dares to guarantee that the Northeast Army, the Seventeenth Route Army and the Red Army can hold it? ”

"I reckon. Even the Central Army, Jiang Zhongzheng, was not sure to hold it himself. But with so much oil, if you can't hold it, it's an enemy! After a pause, Shen Junru looked at the crowd: "We can discuss it with the Red and Northeast Army." Let's develop and defend this place together. In short, it can't fall into the hands of the Japanese! ”

In the last sentence, Shen Junru did not mention the Seventeenth Route Army at all. This is already a manifestation of his attitude, since people want to come, then come! Our defense forces do not lack these weapons and salaries.

"Hmm...... Brother Bingfu's words are reasonable, and the tax statements of our three eastern provinces this year have come out. "Yuan Jinkai is the finance minister of the three eastern provinces, and he naturally speaks with financial data.

"The total revenue of our three eastern provinces this year is 150 million US dollars in tariffs, commercial taxes and agricultural taxes. Among them, the proportion of commercial tax is about 50%, the proportion of tariff is about 30%, and the proportion of agricultural tax is 10%. The remaining 10% is miscellaneous ......"

Tu Qianjun couldn't help but nod after listening to Yuan Jinkai's words, it seems that the development of the three eastern provinces is still okay. You know, the total tax revenue of the United States during the Great Depression in 1936 was only $3.9 billion.

It is not easy for one of the three eastern provinces to develop to a tax revenue of 150 million US dollars!

"Our provincial enterprises are also very profitable! Jiuda Group, Dongsan Heavy Industry Joint Stock Company, Dongsan Electric Power Company, Dongsan Machinery Manufacturing Company...... Wait, this year's reported profit reached as much as $340 million! ”

"Hiss~~" Everyone looked at Yuan Jinkai, who was a little proud, and couldn't help but gasp. Boy! No wonder Yuan Jinkai is proud, this is really wealthy!!

"But we also have a lot of places to spend money!" Saying that, Yuan Jinkai said to everyone bitterly: "Just building roads, this is a bottomless pit!" I can't get enough money to throw it. Railways and highways need to be repaired and built everywhere. ”

"Military spending can't be less, and now the Japanese cubs are getting more and more flamboyant! Fighter jets are developed, and production needs to be expanded! Tanks too, and steel mills......" Yuan Jinkai counted them one by one with his fingers, and in a blink of an eye, most of the tax revenue was gone.

Only then did everyone realize that the three eastern provinces had developed to such a huge size! It even works. It takes an unbelievably large amount of money!

"That being said, it's still a piece of cake to raise an extra army of only 100,000 people!" After counting with his fingers, Yuan Jinkai smiled at everyone and said proudly: "Don't talk about raising him for the Seventeenth Route Army, even if the Northeast Army is back, we can still afford to raise it with red!" ”

These words are bold and atmospheric! Everyone present laughed, this is the confidence from the development of the three eastern provinces!

"That's good! We vote by a show of hands, and if we agree to merge the 17th Route Army into the Wehrmacht, please raise your hand! Yan Zhengqing laughed and raised his hand.

At the same time, everyone present also raised their hands to show their attitude!

"So. The issue of the integration of Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army into the Wehrmacht was resolved. What we have to discuss now is what number we should give and which unit we should belong to after the 17th Route Army is merged. ”

Yan Zhengqing smiled at Tu Qianjun. He said: "But this is not a problem for us to consider, this is a problem for the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht!" We just have to agree or disagree to come in, but we don't care how we belong after we come in! ”

The crowd burst into laughter again! Looking at these old men, Tu Qianjun could only look at Su Zongzhen helplessly. Su Zongzhe, chief of the general staff, saw the eyes of his commander-in-chief and knew that this burden had to be on himself.

But what can he do?! can only say: "Our General Staff is responsible for this matter, and we will come up with a plan for everyone as soon as possible......"

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, and since the topic was over, the meeting should naturally end. Officials in the three eastern provinces are busy, especially at the end of the year. All kinds of reports, summaries, etc. must be issued.

At the same time, it is necessary to arrange the general work plan for next year, and it is necessary to assign work tasks...... Wait a minute. So no one chatted. Yan Zhengqing said a word, and the gang ran away all of a sudden.

On January 7, 1937, a passenger plane at Fengtian Airport slowly landed under the escort of more than a dozen fighters. Tu Qianjun took Federica, Liu Yunjiao and others solemnly waiting for the landing of the plane in front of the airport.

With the roar of the engine, the plane slowly landed at the airport in Mukden under the expectant eyes of everyone. And the first to get off the plane was the dusty Tu Sancannon.

Then came a middle-aged man with a bearded face and a haggard expression. The man was wearing the uniform of the Central Army. Emaciated and lonely.

Tu Qianjun looked at this figure and sighed! However, in a few years, the former high-spirited young marshal was gone. In his place, it was the commander of the Northeast Army, who was a little silent and a little depressed.

Looking at that figure, Tu Qianjun slowly stepped forward and gave a military salute to Tu Sanpao first! Then he said in a deep voice: "Dad! Great ......."

Tu Sanpao nodded. He winked at his son. Tu Qianjun nodded knowingly, turned around and gave a military salute to Zhang Xueliang

"Sixth Brother...... It's good to be back......" Zhang Xueliang looked at this high-spirited younger brother, opened his dry lips, and wanted to say something, but after a while, he could only nod.

"Liuzi, this is your brother and sister!" Seeing this, Tu Sanpao smiled and pointed to Federica beside Junzi and said, "Sixth son, this is your brother and sister!" Fei Muning, this girl is good! I like your Uncle Pao very much, I'll let them marry on a good day! ”

Tu Sancang's words made Federica's face red! And Tu Qianjun was also a little embarrassed, Zhang Xueliang let go at this time and smiled at Tu Qianjun!

"Junzi, if you don't see you for a few years, you're going to get married! The sixth brother came in a hurry this time, but he didn't prepare anything for his younger siblings. Brother Hui will make it up for you! ”

Tu Qianjun laughed and said to Federica: "Thank you, Sixth Brother!" Hearing this, Federica whispered shyly: "Thank you, Sixth Brother......"

The Chinese with round words made Zhang Xuelianggao look at it again, and nodded with a smile. For a while, the embarrassment suddenly dissolved. The three of them laughed and boarded the car hand in hand, and rushed towards the Marshal's Mansion.

Although Tu Qianjun did not settle in the Marshal's Mansion, he has always been taken care of. There is never a shortage of cleaning and cleaning every day. As a result, although no one has moved in, the place has remained in its original form.

The car slowly came to the Marshal's Mansion, and Zhang Xueliang was silent again looking at the familiar pavilion. I haven't seen it for a few years, but it's already a thing. He is no longer the master of the city, and he is no longer the commander-in-chief of the three eastern provinces and the proud Republic of China.

Walking into the Dashuai's Mansion and passing through the familiar porch, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery around him, Zhang Xueliang's face revealed a trace of loneliness.

He had dreamed about it countless times, but when he really stepped here, he felt a trace of fear for no reason! These scenes, familiar to him, scared him!

"Young Master...... You can be regarded as back......" Suddenly, Zhang Xueliang saw an old man who didn't know when he was already standing in front of him and crying!

Zhang Xueliang recognized this old man, this is the old housekeeper of their family!

"Uncle Wen......" Zhang Xueliang snorted at the old man with a hoarse voice. It's good that he doesn't scream, but this old man is crying more and more! That's a lot of crying!

"Young master...... My old guy is holding this breath just to see the young master come back...... Whining...... God has eyes! After all, I saw it for Lao Wen......"

Zhang Xueliang hugged the old man and let the old man cry loudly!

"I'm back...... I'm back......" Zhang Xueliang comforted the old man: "Uncle Wen is relieved, I won't leave." I won't be leaving......

After a lot of comfort, the old man didn't cry anymore. wiped his face at Zhang Xueliang and said, "Look at me, I'm all confused...... The young master hasn't eaten yet! I'll go down and let them prepare for the young master......"

As he spoke, Lao Wen wiped the corners of his eyes and left the courtyard gate. Zhang Xueliang walked to the study that used to be Zhang Zuolin in silence, and he didn't know why he walked over. Just subconsciously walked there.

When he came to the study, Zhang Xueliang looked around and slowly lowered his head. Without a word, he returned to the living room again. The father and son of the Tu family were already drinking tea in the living room.

And when Tu Qianjun saw Zhang Xueliang come out, he said to him with a smile: "Sixth brother, Sun Mingjiu and Wang Yizhe are already on the way. Tomorrow can come at the latest, Ge Lao Immortal said that the day after tomorrow is a good day. Let's start arranging the funeral at about 10 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow......"

Zhang Xueliang didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't respond much to Tu Qianjun's words, just nodded. After Tu Qianjun said a big notice, Zhang Xueliang suddenly said something.

"Junzi...... In the future, I will hand over all the Northeast Army to you......" (to be continued)
