Chapter 609: Remembering a Person
Yang Hucheng had a brief refuge in Nanjing Jiang Zhongzheng in early November 1928, but later the situation changed, the north of the Yellow River Valley was quickly controlled by the Shandong Army headed by Wu Xiaoliang, in order not to become the target of the Shandong Army, he turned to rebel against Jiang in January 1929 and defected to Wu Xiaoliang, in just three months, even Yi Sanzhu, the most angry of which was Jiang Zhongzheng, because after Yang Hucheng surrendered, he rarely spent his 21st Division into the 14th Division, and at the same time produced a large number of new equipment.
But he didn't expect that this white-eyed wolf was not yet mature, so he voted for Wu Xiaoliang again, Jiang Zhongzheng jumped like thunder but there was nothing to do, he spent a lot of effort to reorganize Yang Hucheng's army, it was high hopes for him, one was counting on him to clamp down on Wu Xiaoliang, and the other was that he could be used to deal with the Red Army in northern Shaanxi.
Yang Hucheng took the opportunity to expand the army after voting for Wu Xiaoliang, and changed the name to the 17th Route Army, and it seems that Wu Xiaoliang became the biggest winner.
However, whether Yang Hucheng was under Feng Yuxiang's command, or defected to Jiang Zhongzheng and Wu Xiaoliang, all in order to preserve himself, Wu Xiaoliang later transferred Zhang Xueliang to Shaanxi, and then transferred Dong Haibin's 17th Division, which had compressed his living space very little, especially as time passed, the pressure from the Red Army in northern Shaanxi also made him feel anxious.
The enemy on the battlefield is a big deal, but the Red Army is best at attacking the heart and mind, and every time it disintegrates from within, it has been fighting a rebellion with regiments and battalions as a unit since a few months ago, and he has been tossing and turning, and it is precisely because of this that he acquiesced in the fact that Zhang Xueliang and Dong Haibin entered Shaanxi.
However, Yang Hucheng never expected that Wu Xiaoliang sent Zhang Xueliang and Dong Haibin to come just to play a front stop, but the real big move was behind, the plan to retreat westward, a large number of personnel and material resources continued to pour into Shaanxi, and he even felt the pressure of life and death, but he was on the ship, and he couldn't quit halfway.
Now that Wu Xiaoliang has come to Shaanxi in person, it is obvious that he has a big plan, otherwise why would he come in person.
Especially this time to quell the rebellion, Wu Xiaoliang even extended his tentacles to his interior, and Yang Hucheng couldn't help but be vigilant, so he was cold, and the giant was thousands of miles away out of a cautious and hostile attitude, but no matter what, Dong Haibin's 17th Division did contribute to his counterinsurgency, otherwise it is very likely that this new division of nearly 10,000 people will not be able to keep it.
After Wu Xiaoliang got Yang Hucheng's attitude towards Dong Haibin's department, in order to avoid accidents, he ordered Dong Haibin to take the initiative to retreat south and return to the south of the Wei River, which eased the situation that was about to break out.
Yang Hucheng's attitude was so arrogant, which naturally aroused the great vigilance of Wu Xiaoliang's entourage, suspecting that Yang Hucheng was the mastermind of the two explosions, and some people even proposed that Yang Hucheng be directly trapped, just to swallow this lice-like nasty 17th Route Army.
However, it is clear that Wu Xiaoliang did not agree to completely annihilate Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army, and on the second day after entering Xi'an, he convened a meeting of all the senior military and political officials in Shaanxi to discuss how to build Shaanxi into a base for the war of resistance in the entire Yellow River Valley.
However, many military and political officials subordinate to the former Northwest Army were as good as they had discussed, and almost all of them said that they were ill, and Zhang Xueliang had a gloomy face, and in these days in Shaanxi, he and Yang Hucheng were harmonious on the surface, but in fact they were secretly competing.
Seeing Yang Hucheng's current attitude, Zhang Xueliang also began to suspect that this person was the mastermind behind the two failed bombings.
The troika is missing a leg, and Yang Hucheng of the Seventeenth Route Army is missing, so naturally there is no need to convene this meeting, after all, Yang Hucheng has tens of thousands of male soldiers, and it is difficult to use someone to tie him back, of course this can't.
This meeting can only end hastily, Zhang Xueliang reminded Wu Xiaoliang without worry.
"Brother Weizhong, Yang Hucheng has become a repeated, Feng Yuxiang and Jiang Zhongzheng are being played with by him in applause, his current position is very doubtful, the current situation seems to have forced him too much, and he has long been wary and hostile, so, it is better to cut through the chaos quickly, trap him and declare him guilty and shoot him immediately, so that the seventeenth Route Army is scattered, and the situation in Shaanxi can be safe in a blink of an eye."
In all fairness, Zhang Xueliang's suggestion is indeed a good way to do it once and for all, and this suggestion is also in line with Zhang Xueliang's consistent style and code of conduct, warlords are in trouble, those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die, this is nothing to criticize, but Wu Xiaoliang's idea is not only to eliminate other people, but only his family.
In fact, if there was no premise of a large-scale invasion by the Japanese invaders, Wu Xiaoliang might have adopted Zhang Xueliang's method, but the general trend is to unite all forces and unite to resist the outside world.
"Han Qing, the troika's plan can't be lost, Yang Hucheng can still fight for it, and ......" Speaking of this, Wu Xiaoliang's words changed sharply, his tone became serious, and he suddenly said: "And the mastermind of the two explosions has been investigated......
Zhang Xueliang didn't expect that Wu Xiaoliang's subordinates were so efficient, and they had eyebrows in just one day's work.
"Who is it, Yang Hucheng is still Japanese."
"Japanese."
Wu Xiaoliang spit out three words word by word.
This result is not surprising at all, and the Japanese have the greatest benefit to them by doing this.
"Han Qing, Yang Hucheng Yang is against the yin, he has no intentions, but it is also for self-protection and to ensure that his interests are not infringed, this is human nature, the key now is to let him know that the policy of moving to the west will not only not affect his interests, but also may get more, and the obstacles in front of the Seventeenth Route Army will naturally disappear."
"The truth is this, but this person is very cunning, if he doesn't beat it well, he will inevitably blow up again in the future."
Wu Xiaoliang smiled and said nothing, the beating is naturally going to be beaten, but not now, the time is pressing, he must complete the unification of all forces in Shaanxi within half a month, because half a month later will be the day of the National Reconciliation Conference.
At that time, perhaps most of Wu Xiaoliang's energy will be involved in resisting Japan, and at this time, he deeply feels that there are too few people available around him, and the people who follow him can fight, but it is not possible to engage in this rear construction.
When he was anxious, he remembered a person,
