Chapter Four: The Xi'an Incident (4)
Yang Yongtai and He Guoguang came to Xue Yue's military camp together, and after learning the news that Chiang Kai-shek was arrested by Zhang Xueliang, Xue Yue sat on the stool and was stunned for a long time, without saying a word. Until the cigarette burns the flesh of the palm. Dai Zhiqi, who could have been cut down by Chiang Kai-shek at any time, was extremely angry and roared to save Chiang Kai-shek.
Xue Yue was annoyed when he looked at this kind of brainless person, so with an order, Dai Zhiqi was taken away by the guards.
However, Xue Yue still didn't speak, he still sat there, thinking about how to solve the next thing.
"Xue Yue, what is your attitude, the principal treats you well, don't be confused at this time." He Guoguang said anxiously.
"Let the general think about it, the more difficult it is, the more calm we must be, the enemy just wants us to mess up, Nanjing has an auxiliary country to suppress the situation is definitely no problem, the terrible thing is our southwest." Please say calmly.
"There's nothing to think about, something so big has happened, we have to destroy them with thunder." Such a big thing happened, it was impossible to hide it, and Chiang Ching-kuo also knew the news.
Xue Yue didn't speak, there was hesitation in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes stayed on the two people, Yang Yongtai and He Guoguang. They represent Chiang Kai-shek. Now there are two more important people in the southwest, Du Yuming and Nie Rongzhen.
Seeing the excited Jiang Weiguo, who had the highest serious status here, he coughed seriously and said to Jiang Jingguo, "Sit down, national affairs will not be able to be explained clearly for a while and a half, is this where you play with a child's temper." "Zengguang asked Zhi Dao to be seriously very angry and pulled Chiang Ching-kuo aside.
Chiang Ching-kuo has been thinking about one thing in his heart now, if Liu Yuan watched his father die, then he, who is sitting in the central government, will he directly become the new chairman of the Nanjing government.
Although others did not say this, everyone knew very well that Liu Yuan's every move in Nanjing at this moment would determine the life and death of Chiang Kai-shek, and even the fate of the entire Republic of China.
"What do you think of this, sir?" Xue Yue looked back at Yang Yongtai and found that Yang Yongtai was the calmest person among the crowd, so he wanted to see Mr. Yang Yongtai's opinion.
Before Yang Yongtai could speak, He Guoguang had tears in his eyes, and whimpered and said, "The chairman and the Red Party are mortal enemies, and if they are not handled properly, we may not see the chairman." ”
After finishing speaking, He Guoguang could no longer control his emotions and cried loudly, he had been in the Nationalist Government for so many years, and if it wasn't for Chiang Kai-shek's reuse, it would be difficult for him to get ahead. He was ready to repay Chiang Kai-shek for his kindness with his life, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen to Chiang Kai-shek. I knew that Chiang Kai-shek would not go to Xi'an anyway.
Seeing that He Guoguang was in an unsatisfactory state for this report, Jiang Jingguo's tears couldn't stop falling down.
"It's not that bad," Zengguang was still more sensible, "Isn't it good for everyone to calm down?" ”
"Without the principal, how are we going to deal with ourselves?" The graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy were sad to death one by one.
He Guoguang gave everyone a bad head, which made everyone's mood very low. At this time, the city government rang the phone. Yang Yongtai was relatively calm and picked up the phone.
"I'm Liu Yuan, and I think many people in Chongqing may be crying, and even preparing for the funeral of the principal. That's why I have to call you guys. Liu Yuan's voice was unusually calm.
"Fuguo, save my father, save my father, Zhang Xueliang is incompetent, he must have joined forces with the Red Party to dare to do this kind of thing, if you don't save my father, it will be dangerous."
Compared with others, serious thoughts are lively, if Chiang Kai-shek is gone, then if there is his own support, the support of Soong Ching-ling, and the support of some Kuomintang veterans, then Liu Yuan can control the central government.
Of course, it can't be said that there are no other threats, He Yingqin counts one, and Wang Jingwei counts one, but none of them belong to their really huge circle of strength, at least the three major families have sided with Liu Yuan. It's just that Chiang Kai-shek is still buried in his bones.
Liu Yuan on the other end of the phone paused for a while, and said slowly, "Don't worry, I won't do stupid things, the principal is my teacher, I care more about his life and death than any of you, since the Xi'an incident has happened, we must solve this matter, this matter has a very bad impact, since then we have completely embarked on a situation of endless death with the Red Party, but before that, we must determine one thing, that is, the current state of the principal, if the principal falls, I will personally mention the two million Central Army, eliminate the Red Party and Zhang Xueliang, But if the headmaster is still alive now, all we have to do is save the headmaster. ”
"The Red Party has killed hundreds of thousands of people, how could they let my father go like this." Chiang Ching-kuo said in a panic.
"As the son of the chairman of the committee, I don't want to inherit the great cause, what is the use of crying and crying." Liu Yuan knows very well that when everyone is flustered, he, as a temporary family, must be calm and stable.
"Mr. Yang Yongtai, now I feel that you are the most stable in the southwest, and I now appoint you as the chief of staff of the Southwest Special Administrative Region Military Branch to control the military situation in the southwest."
Yang Yongtai is also a person who has commanded hundreds of thousands of central armies, and it is not a big problem for him to control the troops, Yang Yongtai nodded and said, "It's not rough, you can still maintain stability at this time, the principal has the grace of knowing me, I will definitely find a way to let him come back smoothly." Although Zhang Xueliang hijacked the principal, judging from the eight conditions they proposed, we still have room for negotiation, and they will not kill the kid, so we should be ready to negotiate with them now, and the current principal has become their bargaining chip. If we go too far, we may be in the hands of some well-intentioned people, so we can't mess around. ”
As Yang Yongtai spoke, everyone's mood gradually stabilized, everyone was the elite of the times, He Guoguang wiped away his tears, and said ashamedly, "Calling me a wise man, I am really not as good as Liu Fuguo and Mr. You, hearing that the chairman of the committee is covered with dust, I can't help but lose my temper." ”
"It's just how to know the life and death of Lu Dao's father? I'm in a mess now, so let's get an idea. Why don't we call on the central government to counter the rebellion," Chiang Ching-kuo said.
Yang Yongtai glanced at Jiang Jingguo with pity, the last time he smeared Liu Yuan's incident, he participated in it, and the handling was extremely inappropriate, which has made many central officials dissatisfied, and after this matter, Jiang Jingguo is afraid that he will really lose the possibility of inheriting the position.
"The auxiliary country naturally has an idea, listen to what the auxiliary country has to say." Zeng Guangqing said.
"Can I say a few words?" At this time, everyone found out that Nie Rongzhen from the Southwest Special Economic Zone came with him, a man who was extremely low-key in the past.
"I am also a colleague with the principal, and I am also very worried about the arrest of the principal, but I don't support our statement of support for the central counterinsurgency, you must know that the strength of our southwest is indeed very strong, counting the troops of the Central Army and the Southwest Special Administrative Region, we have more than 800,000 regular troops, and the statement can play a pivotal role in the country, but there is one more important thing, the auxiliary country is now in Nanjing, and his every move must be cautious, he did not declare the counterinsurgency for nothing, that is, there must be other problems, Is there someone who is coveting the position of principal, is there someone who has fallen to the Japanese? Is there anyone who wants to take this opportunity to force the principal to death, we must be stable, instead of showing muscles, it is better for us to wait for the central government's response, and if we take the lead in expressing our attitude, it will make Zhang Xueliang think that the central government's control over the region is too weak, we are not warlords, we are just a special zone of the country. ”
Nie Rongzhen's words made everyone feel a sense of powerlessness when their fists hit the cotton, what was so complicated, but they didn't notice it at all.
Yang Yongtai has never paid attention to Nie Rongzhen, they originally thought that as long as he and He Guoguang came to the southwest, they could easily take down the foundation laid by Liu Yuan in the southwest, but he never thought that there were endless talents in the southwest, just the soldiers had Nie Rongzhen, Du Yuming and a group of demons, and there were many of those who lived in seclusion, so that their southwest strategy was carried out extremely slowly and could even be said to be a failure.
In Yang Yongtai's view, the man in front of him was extremely low-key in the past, he only remembered that he seemed to be the party representative in Liu Yuan's army, a man who often gave political lessons to soldiers, but what he saw today was a man with extremely mature political vision, and his views were stronger than everyone else here.
He finally understood why Liu Yuan was still able to sit firmly in the southwest after losing Jiang Xianyun, and he was definitely inseparable from these people. In the past, when Liu Yuan was in the southwest, Liu Yuan's own brilliance was too dazzling, and these talents had no chance to perform at all, but now as soon as Liu Yuan left the southwest, the entire southwest became even more vigorous, thinking of this, Yang Yongtai was already eager to meet Li Qiang and Gao Gang and others, what kind of talents are they.
"General Nie said very well, if the chairman unfortunately dies, then the biggest beneficiary is not necessarily the auxiliary country, it is likely to be He Yingqin, you must know that He Yingqin is a well-known anti-Japanese faction, and although Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and other princes failed, but they are also very influential in the central government, if you add the support of Wang Jingwei, then the probability of He Yingqin taking over the position of the principal is very large, He Yingqin has the support of the army, the party, and Japan, so will the principal's situation be more dangerous." Yang Yongtai slowly analyzed the situation.
Hearing that He Yingqin and everyone were very dissatisfied, it was not that He Yingqin's seniority was not enough, but He Yingqin was too weak in the eyes of everyone, although Liu Yuan was younger, he was definitely a person who could take over the career.
"Now that you've figured it out, I'll hang up the phone, and you know that my situation here seems to be more troublesome." Liu Yuan said tiredly with meaning in his voice.
"Fuguo, I will thank you first for Chairman Xie Lu, but before that, I want to remind you, I wish you the Blue Coat Society, they have been in a fast formation over the years, and pay attention to the strength of the two ladies, the Song family has become a huge force in our country." Yang Yongtai mentioned.
"I remember."
