Chapter 60, Contact.

In a few days it will be the end of 1935. At this time, Shanghai was full of people, and the population of Hongkou and Baoshan had exceeded nearly one million. There are communities everywhere, at this time Hongkou Baoshan, Yangpu, Taicang, Pudong, Jiading, Kunshan and Jiashan have all been under the jurisdiction of Hongkou, there are factories everywhere, the Nanjing government is also in the center of several districts, there is not a tenth of Jiangqiang's land, at this time Germany sent a military delegation to Shanghai to visit General Tang Juwu, as well as Zhang Shaoshuai of Beiping, the main leaders of the 29th Army, and Long Yun of Yunnan, all came to Shanghai to visit Tang Juwu.

At this time, the six divisions in Shanghai were already partly in Jinshan and partly on Chongming Island, and there were only policemen and armed special police in Shanghai, and there was no trace of any soldiers.

On this day, Tang Juwu chatted with Wang Yaqiao and Jiang Qiang, Jiang Qiang said, the war may be a matter of the past two years, Japan at this time does not know how to fight our country, if the north and the south are docked, one is to start from Beiping, all the way to Shanxi, all the way to Shandong, we must block Japan on the edge of the Yellow River at this time, at this time one is to see the army of the Red Party, the other is Ma Hongkui's army, at this time we still do not use our army, When they arrived in Shandong, they could not let the Japanese go south, and at this time, Japan would definitely land from Guangdong, just to attack from the north and south, and at this time it would depend on how the Sichuan Army and the Nanjing Government arranged.

Tang Juwu, you first contact Zhang Shaoshuai, see if the chairman of the committee transfers him to Xi'an to pay the Red Party, if so, we don't give them weapon support, Wang Yaqiao, you go and contact Long Yun to see what they need, our mentality everyone also knows is that we can't let the civil war go on endlessly, we will not support the army that fights the civil war, and we will not support it, and the 29th Army still needs to support it, and General Zhang Zhizhong will also take special care of it. In this way, we will send 20 military instructors to General Zhang Zhizhong's division to help them conduct military training, and then give them two divisions military assistance.

Where is Long Yun, let's first look at their situation in deciding, and I hope that he agrees that our Burmese railway can be connected with Yunnan, and we will build a railway from Mandalay to Kunming in Yunnan, anyway, we will pay for it, see what kind of attitude Long Yun has, Yunnan is the most important province for us to exchange, at this time we all know, but we can't show it.

In addition, Yunlong's anti-Japanese attitude is also very important, what we want is not the emperor of the soil but a truly patriotic army, this is our attitude, and we also send people to Yunnan to see where to see, I heard that Yunnan is also very infiltrated by Japan's special high school. Tell Liu Xiang's army not to listen to the Nanjing government's arrangements for the time being, where are we going to prevent the Japanese army from landing in Guangdong, the Sichuan army at this time is the trump card in our hands, just ask Liu Xiang and the chairman to make it clear, and also ask Liu Xiang in Sichuan to have at least ten divisions of regular troops, and we will also send people to conduct military training for them, so that the Japanese army will be scared at once, and then they will go to fight the British and American colonies in Nanyang, and Wang Yizhe at this time can also make a small move. We need a strong Japanese army to deal with the American and British armies.

In addition, Wang Yizhe in the north must be careful not to eliminate a division and regiment in a structured manner, which will not be beneficial to us, and he also instructed Wang Yizhe to protect the security of the Red Party base area, and he can also mobilize the army when necessary, and it is best to carry out air strikes, so as to give a shock effect, and let the Red Party's army develop as soon as possible. Until now, there are four major families, and I don't look at what time it is, I know that I can make money in my pocket, Tang Juwu and Wang Yaqiao also think the same Jiang Qiang, after I come back from Germany, we will see what control Japan has to minimize the harm of our war.

Jiang Qiang returned home at this time Tingting has not come back, her mother is cooking, the two little girls saw their brother coming back and ran over immediately, Jiang Qiang also picked up the youngest at once, the eldest sister pulled Jiang Qiang's clothes, Jiang Qiang took them into the study and chatted with them, Jiang Bing said, hey, you didn't see me when I was so big, you knew that I had a sister, am I your brother.

Jiang Qiang said, look at how tall you are, I just can't hold it if I want to, right? The people in the family also laughed, Jiang Qiang said, well, such a big man can also go and talk about a girlfriend and come back, and you Qian Dafa is also hurry up to talk about a girlfriend and go home, don't always stay at home, girls are all outside, go walk around the road with them, talk about love or something, give you a month to talk about a girlfriend and come back, well, or I'll ask your sister to help you find one, you always stay at home if you don't have any interest, if you are like this, those restaurants will close sooner or later, Jiang Bing, you should also hurry up and talk about a girlfriend and come back. When the time comes, I will cook a big meal for you myself.

Jiang Qiang's mother listened warmly in her heart, her son cared about her younger brothers and sisters, and even the dead ghost never cared about the child.

Tingting came back, saw Jiang Qiang and his two sisters chatting together, and didn't say anything, at this time, the family was still dominated by Tingting, Jiang Qiang's mother also began to dominate the family's affairs, Jiang Qiang didn't care much about the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea at home at this time, and he never asked what to add to the family, that is, Jiang Qiang was responsible for all the things in the kitchen, and Jiang Qiang's story of the Condor Heroes was about to finish, and Qian Dafa at this time also wrote down all what Jiang Qiang said. At this time, Qian Dafa also talked to Jiang Qiang about those Jianghu sects and the like, Jiang Qiang told him that the sects of the rivers and lakes are named after famous mountains and rivers, and in addition to their own imagination, they can travel to the novel, the focus of the novel is nothing more than hoeing the strong and helping the weak, squeezing the rich and the poor, taking revenge and hatred, etc., and it is necessary to remember that the great man of chivalry saves the country and the people.

You are using your imagination to make a good novel come out, and you don't want to be a writer, do you? Qian Dafa nodded, Jiang Qiang said, no matter what choice you make, I, as an elder brother, will support you unconditionally, that is, where your sister is, I am responsible for telling him, and I must understand history when writing novels, so that I will help you collect those history books when the time comes. Also, writers must have their own pen names, so that you don't have a lot of people to make a lot of noise. Qian Dafa also nodded desperately, Jiang Qiang himself was thinking that maybe there would be a big writer in our family, and he still laughed proudly.

General Tang Juwu can be said to be very busy these days, and a large number of bigwigs have come to Shanghai to visit him, which he can't avoid, plus the training in the past few years, he can also cope with such an occasion. Today he met with Zhang Shaoshuai and a group of senior members of the Northeast Army in the conference room, and Tang Juwu immediately greeted Zhang Shaoshuai when he saw him, saying that Zhang Shaoshuai had not seen each other for several years and missed him very much. Most of these Northeast Army Tang Juwu knew each other.

Tang Juwu said that he didn't know what advice the young marshal had when he came to Hongkou. Zhang Xueliang said, what young marshal is a group of homeless wanderers, Tang Juwu said, at least are you still the deputy commander of the Nanjing government? Zhang Xueliang, the word Hanqing, the number Yi'an, the milk name Shuangxi, Xiaoliuzi. Han nationality, born in Dongfeng Town, Dawa County, Panjin City, Liaoning Province, born in Zhangjiawo Baotun (formerly known as Sangzilin Zhanjiawopu), Ejia Village, Huandong Town, Tai'an County, Anshan City, Liaoning Province, General of the National Revolutionary Army, the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the warlords. In 1920, he graduated from the Army Lecture Hall of the Three Eastern Provinces, and held important positions in the Feng Army, and after the "Huanggutun Incident", he succeeded as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Security Army.

In 1917, he served in the army of his father, Zhang Zuolin. In 1919, he studied in the Army Lecture Hall of the Three Eastern Provinces, and met Guo Songling, a tactical instructor in the school, and the two became friends for a long time. After graduating from the artillery section in 1920, he served as the commander of the second regiment of the third mixed brigade of the Northeast Army, responsible for protecting Zhang Zuolin's personal safety and maintaining law and order in Fengtian. In 1922, the first Zhifeng War broke out, Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling commanded the third mixed brigade of the Feng Army of the East Route Army, Zhang Xueliang served as the brigade commander, after the battle of Baxian and the Shanhaiguan blockade, became the only unit of the Feng army to win in the first Zhifeng War.

In 1924, the outbreak of the Second Zhifeng War, Zhang Xueliang led the Third Army of the Feng Army and the Second Army of the Feng Army selected by Jiang Dengxuan as the main force of the Northeast Army to enter the customs. The direct line was completely defeated, the whole army was annihilated, Wu Peifu became Zhang Zuolin's subordinate, and the direct line withdrew from the stage of history. The Beiyang government began the era of Zhang Zuolin, and the Feng Department seized the central power in World War I, and Zhang Zuolin became the leader of the Beiyang warlords, and the military strength of the Feng Department reached its peak at this time. After the war, Zhang Xueliang was promoted to commander-in-chief of the Jingyu garrison. On June 4, 1928, Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese Kwantung Army in Huanggutun, known as the Huanggutun Incident, Zhang Xueliang was inaugurated as the commander-in-chief of the security of the three eastern provinces with the support of the old minister Zhang Zuoxiang and others, and began to rule the Northeast. A week after Zhang Zuolin was killed, he announced his obedience to the Nanjing Nationalist Government with the resolute action of "changing banners in the northeast", and on July 1 of the same year, Zhang Xueliang issued a "telegram that will never hinder reunification" to the Nanjing government, urging China to move toward reunification in form. Later, he was appointed by the Nanjing government as deputy commander of the army, navy and air force, and commander of the Northeast Frontier Defense.

In July 1929, Zhang Xueliang wanted to revoke the Soviet Union's privileges in Northeast China, seize the Soviet commercial institutions in Harbin, and began to reclaim the Eastern Railway. On August 14, Stalin ordered the Soviet army to attack northeast along the Middle East Road, and the Northeast Army led by Zhang Xueliang was defeated by the Soviet army. Zhang Xueliang was forced to sign a protocol at Boli to restore the Soviet Union's privileges on the Eastern Railway. In March 1930, in order to compete for the ruling power of the central government, Wang Jingwei, together with Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren and other local powerful factions, launched a civil war to challenge the chairman of the Nanjing Central Government and the Central Committee of the Nanjing Government. Zhang Xueliang, commander of the Northeast Frontier Army, who was heavily armed, became the target of the warring parties. On April 1, the anti-Chiang faction appointed Zhang as deputy commander of the army, navy, and air force, and in September, after the anti-Chiang faction established the Beiping Nationalist Government, Zhang was appointed as a member of the national government (a total of seven people), promising that half of the government's ministerial posts would be held by Feng's personnel, and finally when the war was unfavorable, they promised to cede the Chacha, Sui and Pingjin regions to the Northeast Army.

On June 21, 1930, the chairman of the National People's Congress also appointed him as deputy commander of the army, navy, and air force, promising that the military, political, and financial powers in the Pingjin region would be in the hands of Zhang Xueliang, and that the area north of the Yellow River would be completely controlled by Zhang Xueliang, and that Zhang Xueliang's subordinate Yu Xuezhong would be the commander of the Pingjin garrison, Wang Shuchang would be the governor of Hebei Province, and Wang Jiazhen would be the vice minister of foreign affairs, and that he would be bribed with tens of millions of yuan. At the request of the chairman, British and French envoys to China also came forward to exert pressure on Zhang. Zhang Xueliang felt that the time had come to send troops, and on August 30, 1930, he called Zhang Zuoxiang and Wan Fulin: "Liang will return to the province on the third day, and the existing affairs are waiting to be discussed. On August 30, 1930, Zhang Xueliang returned to Shenyang. On September 10, 1930, Zhang Xueliang presided over the Northeast Supreme Conference in Beiling. At the meeting, Zhang Xueliang elaborated on the reasons for his decision to send troops to North China to mediate the civil war. He pointed out: First, the northeast is located on the border, Japan has been watching for a long time, and if it wants to resist the Japanese invaders, it must be unified in the country, and the Nanjing government is a unified government in the whole country, and only by supporting this government can domestic unity be guaranteed; Second, there were many factions and big differences within the enlarged meeting, and Yan Feng was capricious and could not achieve great things; Third, the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee is also a conspiracy and careerist who has no special relationship with the Northeast, and if he wants to bring down the Northeast, he will do whatever it takes, and in order to prevent the Chairman from continuing to divide the Northeast Army, the only way to do so is to achieve national reunification as soon as possible and stop the civil war as soon as possible. Fourth, the Nanjing government army has captured Jinan, and "the promise made to the chairman of the committee should be fulfilled." Zhang Xueliang's incisive analysis was arrived at after several months of sober consideration, and it was so reasonable and well-founded that Zhang Zuoxiang, who had always opposed sending troops, had nothing to say, and the participants unanimously agreed with Zhang Xueliang's proposition. It should be said that Zhang Xueliang's decision to support Chiang's entry into the customs was not only to safeguard the interests of the Feng faction group to which he belonged, but also to safeguard the patriotic heart of national unity.

On September 18, 1930, Zhang Xueliang issued a "smart telegram" in support of the central government and calling for peace, and lost no time in sending troops to North China, and in more than ten days, the Northeast Army completed the occupation of the Pingjin area. On October 15, Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, and Wang Jingwei sent a telegram to Zhang Xueliang, expressing their acceptance of a peaceful settlement. Subsequently, Yan and Feng joined forces to go into the field, and the Jin Army and the Northwest Army were incorporated by Zhang and the chairman of the committee. After the Central Plains War, Zhang Xueliang became the winner. Zhang entered the customs at the time of the victory and defeat in the Central Plains, and did not suffer any losses, but he not only made a fortune by selling arms and asking for military expenses in the war (as soon as Zhang Bu entered the customs, Jiang immediately issued a promotion fee of 5 million yuan), but also obtained the territory of the three cities of Heping, Tianjin, and Qingdao in the four provinces of Jin, Hebei, Chacha, and Sui, and the reorganized Jin Army and the Northwest Army were also under Zhang's command. Politically, Zhang Xueliang also obtained the post of deputy commander of the army, navy, and air force of the Republic of China, and became a prominent figure below the chairman of the National People's Congress and above 10,000 people, and many of his subordinates also entered the central government in Nanjing. After the Central Plains War, Zhang Xueliang's strength and prestige reached the apex of his life.

In the context of the global economic crisis, the possibility of conflict between Japan, which has railway privileges in South Manchuria, and China, which has been in a state of civil war for a long time, has increased. On July 6, 1931, Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to the Northeast Political Affairs Committee, saying: "If we start a war with Japan at this time, our side will be defeated. If we lose, the Japanese side will demand compensation from us for the cession of land, and the northeast will be doomed, so it is urgent to avoid conflict and take justice as a circumference." On September 6, Zhang Xueliang sent another telegram to Zang Shiyi and Rong Zhen: "For the Japanese, no matter how they provoke, we must tolerate them in every way, and we must not resist them, causing trouble. On September 18 of that year, the Japanese Kwantung Army launched the "918" incident that shocked China and the rest of the world, and more than 8,000 officers and men of the Northeast Army stationed in Beidaying did not follow Zhang's strict orders and did not resist. Instead, under the leadership of Wang Yizhe, he dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the Japanese.

After the September 18 Incident, on September 19, 1931, Zhang Xueliang said in a conversation with a reporter from Tianjin Ta Kung Pao at Peking Union Medical College Hospital: "I have ordered our soldiers to provoke the Japanese soldiers and not to resist. On 22 and 23 September, the chairman of the National People's Congress and the Nanjing Government also issued speeches and letters to the people, demanding that "we temporarily adopt an attitude of resignation and wait for the judgment of international justice" and "hope that our national army will avoid conflict with the Japanese army." In fact, Zhang Xueliang's policy of non-resistance was tacitly acquiesced. Zhang asked his Northeast Army to avoid the conflict and retreat to Jinzhou.

At this time, the people of the whole country did not want to take Wang Yizhe to give the most serious blow to the Japanese, and Tang Juwu at this time slowly emerged in Shanghai, becoming the first person in China, and his reputation has long exceeded the prestige of the chairman, coupled with Hongkou's huge economic achievements, it is impossible to talk about the past.
