Chapter 390: Shaanxi Mutiny
The matter was settled like this, and sent a telegram to Tang Qiuquan, the special operations detachment was responsible for the evacuation of the northeast, and his parents were easy to say, the only thing to do now was to persuade his father-in-law, a stubborn old man, Tang Qiuli gave Mei Ting an idea, and asked the old lady to go and talk about it, anyway, he was not in a hurry to leave, and there was time to properly arrange this matter. ##笔趣阁看xiǎo说必去##
Newly married Yan'er, Tang Qiuli felt a different family life, Mei Ting completely gave up her identity, and was willing to be a happy wife, so that Tang Qiuli could enjoy all the blessings and warmth.
The footprints of the two of them, walked all over the places of interest near Moling, or ancient temples in the mountains, or broken monument remnants, everywhere, Tang Qiuli must explore, linger, express nostalgia for the past, Mei Ting was surprised to find that her husband, in terms of literature and history, has a deep attainment, most of the monuments, can tell the origin of several origins, as well as some anecdotes.
Happy and sweet days slipped away quietly, and since the Xi'an Incident, Tang Qiuli has spent the most leisurely and sweet time.
At about 11 o'clock in the evening of February 2, 1937, Tang Qiuli was snuggling with Mei Ting, whispering that he could never finish, his wife was in her twenties, but in front of him, she occasionally had a flowing, flirting and scolding, pretending to be rude, which made Tang Qiuli feel excited.
In the dead of night, there was a rapid knocking sound, which woke up the xiǎo couple who were immersed in the world of the two, the mountain tiger god sè nervously knocked mén in, the military committee sent an urgent telegram, Tang Qiuli took a look, and there were few numbers, "There have been great changes within the Northeast Army stationed in Shaanxi, the 17th Route Army is uneasy, the situation in Xi'an is critical, please Vice Chairman Tang return to Nanjing at night, Chairman Jiang has important matters to discuss." ”
Tang Qiuli was silent and stood for a long time, the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army still had problems in the end, or it was just to provide a reasonable reason for his justifiable intervention, and it was better for an independent division to take over the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army than to be split by Chairman Chiang, and the once independent military force dissipated in the bloody anti-Japanese battlefield.
The two of them said goodbye to their parents, and as early as the mountain tiger came over in a hurry, the two old men who were alarmed, the old man said that he knew the mission of the soldiers, and his eyes were filled with the perseverance that reassured them.
The old lady is not good, the eldest NV who has been separated for five years has only lived at home for a short period of ten days, and she is leaving, this time, I don't know when we will meet, my eyes have already flowed, and Mei Ting's eyes are moist.
Mei Ting's eyes looked at Tang Qiuli steadily, her hands nervously stirred the corners of her clothes, her eyes were indescribably complicated, Tang Qiuli also vaguely guessed Mei Ting's thoughts, just as it was the green haze of Xiǎo girl, she patted Mei Xue's round shoulder comfortingly, and gave her a brother-like smile.
Don't you know, just these few taps made Mei Xue's heart crash like a xiǎo deer, almost out of breath, that kind of man's majestic breath, instantly through the clothes, like an electric current through the whole body, and finally returned to the heart, the body trembled, and the beautiful big eyes were brilliant.
The night sè is boundless, the yīn clouds of the winter night in the south of the Yangtze River cover the sky like ink, the ancient town of Moling is gradually moving away, and the lights that were once vague are also submerged for the night, only the bright light of the car lights, like two sharp swords, split this thick night sè, illuminate the road ahead.
At dawn, a long convoy drove into Nanjing, which had just woken up, and scattered the pedestrians who got up early, watching the convoy go away with anxiety.
In the building of the National Civil Affairs and Military Commission, Chairman Jiang and a senior cadre, who had not slept all night, could not hide the fatigue on their faces, and were anxiously waiting for Tang Qiuli's arrival.
Seeing Tang Qiuli and Ying Tǐng's figure appearing at Ménkou, they were all obviously relieved, no one was willing to fight with the bold Northeast Army, for fear that Chairman Jiang would come to their heads, and now, when the person in charge came, they all felt a sense of relief.
Chairman Jiang motioned for Tang Qiuli to sit down, and the adjutant handed him a top-secret telegram, which was sent by the Xi'an Station of the Military Commander overnight, "On the evening of 2 February, Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, Sun Mingjiu, and other generals of the Shaozhuang faction in the Northeast Army suddenly launched a mutiny and shot and killed Wang Yizhe, commander of the 67th Army of the Northeast Army, Xu Fang, chief of staff of the Northeast Army Headquarters, Song Xueli, deputy director, and Jiang Bin, director of Jiāotong. ##笔趣阁看xiǎo说必去##"
"Now there is a húnluàn in the city of Xi'an, the garrison has its own side, built barricades, the whole city is under martial law, and there are troops stationed abroad, constantly marching into the city, sporadic gunfire, until the time of the report is still continuing, the Northeast Army and between the troops of the 17th Route Army, there have been many conflicts, many fires in the city, thick smoke billowing."
"Investigate the reason, it is suspected that the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army are internal, because they are dissatisfied with the central government's handling of Zhang Yang and the two, and there are strict internal differences on how to act, which led to a mutiny.
Seeing that Tang Qiuli finished reading, Chairman Jiang asked slowly: "Qiuli, do you have any proper handling opinions?" Tang Qiuli was silent for a moment.
Chairman Jiang knew very well in his heart that the executive power was detained in Nanjing by himself, Yang Hucheng was sent abroad by himself to investigate, the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army were leaderless, and the Shaozhuang faction was bound to use force with the central government to force Zhang Xueliang by force.
The main peace faction did not agree to use troops, so they mutinied, speaking of which, the initiator was himself, but Chairman Chiang did not regret it at all, if the matter happened again, he would still deal with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng in this way.
According to Chairman Chiang's temper, he first issued a telegram order, ordering the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army to immediately lay down their arms and wait for the central authorities to send personnel to deal with it.
Besides, the ink on the Xi'an Six Agreements has not yet dried, and Chairman Chiang is not willing to bear the name of a treacherous insult and have more blood on his hands.
Tang Qiuli raised his head: "Chairman of the Committee, this mutiny occurred in the jurisdiction of the Northern Army Branch, and it should be handled by Qiuli, I will fly to Xi'an immediately and personally deal with this matter. ”
Chairman Jiang hesitated, what did Tang Qiu do when he left to see Zhang Xueliang? He looked at Tang Qiuli's indifferent face suspiciously, and then readily agreed, Tang Qiuli can't kidnap Zhang Xueliang, right?
Nanjing Military Introspection Institute, Zhang Xueliang has been detained here since he was detained in Nanjing, and Tang Qiuli came here with a lot of food and daily necessities.
Shocked by Tang Qiuli's identity, the guards here don't even have the guts to touch things, if ordinary people don't check things inside and out, it is dereliction of duty.
Seeing Tang Qiuli, Zhang Xueliang was stunned at first, and then was pleasantly surprised, holding his hand tightly, as if he had met an old acquaintance in a foreign country, Tang Qiuli put the wine and food he brought on the table in the courtyard, and sat opposite Zhang Xueliang, and those guards looked here.
Tang Qiu's eyes swept over from Leng Sensen, it really had the effect of a quiet street, and there was no one in an instant, Zhang Xueliang smiled bitterly, he usually went to the toilet, and there were two guards following closely.
Zhang Xueliang has obviously lost a lot of weight, with black stubble, which has not been shaved for many days, only those eyes, which are still as bright as ever, without the slightest decadence.
Tang Qiuli told him all the things that happened in Xi'an, Zhang Xueliang sighed, drank all the wine in the cup, looked indescribably lonely, and was a little disheartened.
Subsequently, Zhang Xueliang told Tang Qiuli that since the Northeast Army retreated to Guannei, it fought Xifengkou in one battle, and then fought in Rehe, lost both battles, and finally retreated into Shaanxi, like a lost dog, with no place to stay.
Since then, he feels that the Northeast Army has become a burden on his heart, and he is unable to take them back to his hometown in the Northeast and regain the lost territory, nor can he take them to the battlefield to fight devils, and he is even more unwilling to be cannon fodder, fighting a civil war for his old Jiang, burying his bones in a foreign land, and reciting infamy when he is dying.
Now, what he was most worried about had happened, telling him how not to be heartbroken and disheartened, Zhang Xueliang drank a few cups in a row, and suddenly grabbed Tang Qiuli's hand, and said emotionally: "Brother Qiuli, I think of you and my fellow villagers, brotherly love, Zhang Hanqing is incompetent, entrusting the Northeast Army to you, I hope you will give them a good home and keep a little blood of the old man." ”
After speaking, he got up from his seat, raised his glass with both hands, bowed deeply, Tang Qiuli held Zhang Xueliang's hand emotionally, what a trust and trust this is, and it is also the result he is looking forward to, the Northeast Army can only play its due role in his own hands.
Nearly 200,000 hot-blooded men who have left their homeland and harbor a bitter hatred for the Japanese will be so murderous and awe-inspiring once they go to the battlefield that they will be like a rainbow of war; that is the nightmare of the Japanese and the excitement of the Chinese.
He nodded heavily, and said nothing, this is a promise between men and men, and what he has received is a kind of trust that he completely trusts.
Zhang Xueliang was greatly shaken, as if he had let go of the burden of a thousand catties, the burden that had been suppressed for a long time, and shouted loudly: "Bring a pen and paper!" A guard brought paper and a pen, but refused to leave, his eyes wandered, as if he wanted to see what Zhang Xueliang wrote?
Tang Qiuli swept his eyes, the guard was like an electric shock, his heart was cold, he shrunk his neck, and he only withdrew resignedly, and when he arrived outside the courtyard, he came through his breath, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, this Vice Chairman Tang is not very old, so heavy and murderous, no matter how interesting he is, it is possible to be twisted off his neck.
Zhang Xueliang quickly wrote a letter to the generals at all levels of the Northeast Army, Tang Qiuli solemnly took it, and when he was about to leave the courtyard, he glanced back at Zhang Xueliang, and saw that he was looking forward to it, and his body was still tǐng, but there was an indescribable depression.
Tang Qiuli's heart darkened, the former hero, today's Chu prisoner, the light of the second half of his life, was consumed by the sunrise and sunset, and the opportunities of life were not determined by heaven?
Tang Qiuli returned to the Military Commission, reported to Chairman Chiang, and obtained full authority to deal with the Shaanxi mutiny, obtained a promise from the central authorities that he would no longer intervene in the matter, and began to prepare for an unpredictable trip to Xi'an.
On the morning of February 4, Tang Qiuli left Nanjing by special plane with his new wife Mei Ting, the head of the guard, Shanhu, and more than a dozen guards.
