An HD-707 painted in light blue of the Royal Air Force of the Han Dynasty was safely parked at Nanjing Daxiaochang Airport, and the person who picked up the plane was General He Yingqin, who had just been appointed commander-in-chief of the rebel army.

In the building of the Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing, Major General Ye Zhiqiu, in his capacity as chief of the general staff of the Han Imperial Army, expressed his grave concern over the Xi'an incident that occurred in China, and expressed the hope that the two sides would value peace and the country first, calmly handle disputes, and refrain from hating relatives and enemies. At the same time, Ye Zhiqiu said that the military of the Han Empire will strengthen a series of cooperation with the Chinese National Revolutionary Army, including assistance on heavy equipment such as tanks and heavy artillery. If needed, the Imperial Army will also train pilots, sailors, and commanders of armored forces for China.

At this juncture, the chief of the general staff of the Han Imperial Army came all the way to Nanjing and announced a series of cooperation matters that the Nanjing government could not ask for.

Zhang Jiluan, the literati whom Zhang Xueliang respected most, wrote an "Open Letter to the Xi'an Military Circles" in "Ta Kung Pao": The Han Emperor in the southern hemisphere can also see the importance of the leader to China, but the two generals Zhang Hanqing and Yang Hucheng are blinded by the fog? Advise the officers and men of the Northeast Army to get lost and return home, and not to mislead the country and the people. Hu Shi, Zhu Ziqing, Feng Youlan, Wen Yiduo and other well-known people have written articles "The cold knows the pine and cypress, and the adversity sees the truth", such as what the Han Emperor did is the way of a gentleman. condemned Zhang and Yang for "fighting the enemy, but in fact destroying the Great Wall; He is a sinner of the nation and the nation; Destroying unity is a notorious crime. "And Zhang Xueliang's best friend, former Australian Commonwealth reporter William? Duan Na personally sent him an electric message: the Han Emperor was the emperor of foreign countries, and he also practiced the righteousness of the nation; Han Qing is a general of China, but he betrays his righteousness. China values righteousness, you abandon righteousness and mislead the country, why does it still exist?

On December 22, the tenth day after the Xi'an Incident, Liu Zhi was the commander-in-chief of the East Route Group Army of the rebel army, and Gu Zhu was also the commander-in-chief of the West Route Group Army. The government air force also began bombing Xi'an's neighboring cities and gradually turned to Xi'an, and Zhang Xueliang was pressured to allow the detained Jiang Dingwen to return to Luoyang first, asking the national/military to suspend military operations to avoid an escalation of the conflict. On the same day, the light blue HD-707 took off again and left Nanjing, this time the destination of the flight was Xi'an Dayingpan Airport, in addition to Chief Ye Zhiqiu and his entourage, there were two distinguished guests on the plane -- Song Meiling and Song Ziwen, and the white reporter Duan Na also came on the same plane.

On the plane, Soong Meiling handed the pistol to Duan Na and said, "If the rebels do anything rude to me, you can use this gun to shoot me immediately."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled when he heard this, "Please rest assured that Mrs. Jiang will defend Madame Jiang's dignity with these fifty guards, and will never let the rebel soldiers hurt Madame in the slightest." If the rebels move, they will definitely step on the corpses of fifty-one soldiers of the Han Empire! ”

He also said to Duanna: Although the former Australian federal government has disappeared, the current Han Empire is still your motherland, and the motherland welcomes you to go back.

He dared to be so confident because Ye Zhiqiu had already received news that the Han Emperor had already contacted Stalin through the British Government two days earlier, and in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, the Han Emperor first expressed his admiration for the great economic achievements made by the Soviet Government during the Second Five-Year Plan; Then the bearded man also congratulated the Han Emperor on his proclamation as emperor, and hoped that the two sides could strengthen economic and military exchanges to enhance the friendship between the two countries. Of course, the two heads of state also paid attention to the movements of the coup d'état in Xi'an, China, and the Han Emperor believed that the Soviet Union was in a leading position in the Comintern, and that political stability in China was in the interests of Han and the Soviet Union. Stalin agreed, and hoped to send a military delegation to visit the Great Han.

Zhong Yi smiled, smiling very evilly, "I believe that with the arrival of the Soviet military delegation, the military of the two countries will definitely deepen their friendship and strengthen their ties." ”

That night, Stalin telegraphed back again: Dimitrov, the leader of the Third International, had already said that he would resolutely demand that the Chinese side release Chiang Chung-cheng.

After confirming this news, Zhong Yi instructed Qin Yingxue to send two telegrams, the first of which was to inform Ye Zhiqiu to go to Xi'an to meet Jiang Zhongzheng and Zhang Xueliang; The second copy was to be sent to Qian Zhihao, and when His Majesty was drafting this telegram, none of them could hold back: Zhihao, set aside fifty of the three hundred Type 59 vehicles for China, Nima, and feed the greedy old Maozi. The cold beauty, who stood up with a pen and recorded carefully, flew directly to His Majesty with a charming white eye, and His Majesty smiled, "It looks like there has been a drama recently!" "This must have been said in my heart, and His Majesty didn't have the courage to say it before the raw rice was cooked.

Ye Zhiqiu received the telegram and immediately discussed with Song Meiling about going to Xi'an, and Mrs. Jiang, who couldn't wait for a long time, called her eldest brother Song Ziwen to arrange for boarding immediately.

At Xi'an Dayingpan Airport, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng personally picked up the plane, and when the guards of the Northeast Army came over to check, Ye Zhiqiu waved his hand coldly, "General Zhang, Zhiqiu would like to give you a message on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of Han: If you don't care about your family, you will be unscrupulous!" You and Your Majesty are both from the Northeast, please think about the 100,000 soldiers of the Northeast Army who loyally left their homeland with your background and fought thousands of miles!

Zhang Shaoshuai's handsome face with a smile suddenly looked like the frozen loess in the northwest, and Yang Hucheng beside him saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly pulled Zhang Xueliang's shirt.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and waved his hand, "Escort Mrs. Jiang to the car!" The Han army guards hugged and pushed dozens of soldiers of the Northeast Army in gray military uniforms away, "General Zhang, have you contacted that side?" ”

After saying this, without waiting for a reply, Ye Zhiqiu smiled, turned around and boarded the military vehicle prepared by the Northeast Army with the guards who were escorting Mrs. Jiang and Song Ziwen.

Yang Hucheng was angry, Zhang Xueliang was blushing, did not say a word, also waved his hand, signaled the guards to board the car, led the way in front, and the convoy went straight to Huaqingchi.

"Han Qing, a foreign soldier, dare to be as ......" Before Yang Hucheng finished speaking, Zhang Xueliang sighed, "Zhongxiang (Yang Hucheng's nickname), Mr. Zhou has already come over there, and their Third International has clearly demanded that ...... must be released."

"Huh?" Yang Hucheng was resolute in killing the Jiang faction, "How can this be, ...... you talked to them at the beginning?"

"Don't say it, Zhongxiang, you and I thought that we would die without regrets for the country, but now let you say, are we making wedding dresses for others and destroying the foundation of the country?" Zhang Xueliang's words were full of remorse, and he obeyed the orders of the Third International and left the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army behind, which made people feel cold.

Yang Hucheng rolled his eyes and didn't speak again. Unlike Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng was determined to kill Jiang Zhongzheng, and he had united with the government army to defeat Feng Yuxiang, but he knew very well that Jiang was not a person who could tolerate people, and it was inevitable to settle accounts with the Northwest Army who were not cronies or descendants, but none of the domestic warlords were his opponents, and the only external force that could be relied on was over there.
