"Mother Xipi, Zhang Hanqing is really confused. He doesn't know what the Communist Party has fed him. He actually wants me to stop exterminating the Communist Party and go and fight the Japanese! Doesn't he know how to fight against foreigners?

Is it a national policy that we must first settle down the internal affairs? The Japanese are just scabies. Only by eliminating the Communist Party can we be able to unite to resist Japan." After receiving Zhang Xueliang's telegram requesting to stop the suppression of the Communist Party and jointly resist Japan, Chiang Kai-shek

Throwing a tantrum in the office.

Yang Yongtai and Zhang Qun, who had just arrived at the door of Chiang Kai-shek's office, heard the yelling and swearing coming from the office. They looked at each other and Zhang Qun said: "Chang Qing, it seems that Zhang Xueliang and the Northeast Army have already arrived and have to be dealt with first."

to the point.”

Yang Yongtai smiled bitterly and said: "It is easy to deal with Zhang Xueliang and the Northeast Army alone, but now Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng are now together in the northwest. If you move one, you will move two. It is difficult to handle now!"

"Chang Qing, Yue Jun (Zhang Qun's cousin), are you here?!" At this time Qian Dajun walked out from the office next door. Yang Yongtai nodded slightly and said: "Mu Yin, who is the committee member?

Didn’t I receive another telegram from Zhang Xueliang requesting resistance to the war?!”

Qian Dajun smiled bitterly and said: "What else can make the committee members angry now? This is already the seventeenth telegram sent by Zhang Xueliang requesting resistance to the war."

Zhang Qun coldly nodded and asked: "Mu Yin, I wonder why the commissioner came to see us today?!"

Qian Dajun said: "Tomorrow, the commissioner is going to come to Luoyang in person to take charge of the suppression of communism. I guess I came to you today to discuss this matter. I will inform you two now." After saying that, Qian Dajun walked to Chiang Kai-shek's office.

He knocked on the door. After hearing Chiang Kai-shek's order, Qian Dajun opened the door and walked into Chiang Kai-shek's office and said: "Commissioner, Chang Qing and Yue Jun are here."

Chiang Kai-shek said calmly: "Let them come in! Don't leave either. There are some things I want to hear your opinion on later."

"Yes!" Qian Dajun responded and opened the door of the office. Waiting for Zhang Qun and Yang Yongtai to enter the office. After Chiang Kai-shek motioned for the three of them to sit down, he said: "Tomorrow I plan to go to Luoyang to command the suppression of the Communist Party. This time I will

They want to take advantage of the fact that the communists and bandits have not yet established a stable foothold in northern Shaanxi and mobilize an army of 300,000 to completely eliminate them. What do you think?!"

Yang Yongtai said: "Commissioner, in the fifth siege, we gained a strategic advantage and forced the communists out of their so-called base areas. However, the communists did not follow our planned route, which allowed them to preserve a large number of

power. Now they are secretly colluding with Zhang Xueliang. I am worried that this encirclement and suppression will eventually harm Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng."

Chiang Kai-shek's thoughtful fingers tapped on the armrests of the wicker chair and sofa. After about ten minutes, Chiang Kai-shek asked: "Where do you think it would be best to transfer Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng?!"

Zhang, Yang, and Qian looked at each other, and Yang Yongtai said: "The envoy, I think it would be best to transfer Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to Anhui and Fujian respectively."

Chiang Kai-shek was stunned and looked at Yang Yongtai with some doubts. Suddenly a look of realization appeared on his face and he said: "What Chang Qing said makes sense. Just transfer them to Anhui and Fujian and separate Zhang and Yang. They

It won't be a problem. When the time comes, it won't be too late to settle accounts with them."...

Having made up his mind, Chiang Kai-shek took Chen Cheng, Shao Lizi, Jiang Dingwen, Chen Tiaoyuan, Wei Lihuang, Zhu Shaoliang and other Kuomintang military and political dignitaries on a plane and flew to Luoyang early the next morning.

December 1, Xi'an Appeasement Office and General Headquarters of the 17th Route Army.

"Han Qing, what happened in such a panic?!" Yang Hucheng, who was busy in the office, asked when he saw Zhang Xueliang walking in through the door.

Zhang Xueliang said calmly: "Huchen (Yang Hucheng's nickname), Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Luoyang today. I want to see him tomorrow and ask him to order the release of the Seven Gentlemen of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Association."

Yang Hucheng smiled bitterly and said: "Han Qing, do you think Chiang Kai-shek will still listen to you?! Now you and I are both rootless people, and Chiang Kai-shek will not take our 200,000 troops seriously at all. If he really wants to follow Chiang Kai-shek

If we fight, we might become the second Chen Jitang and Li Zongren."

After listening to Yang Hucheng's analysis, Zhang Xueliang slumped down on the chair opposite Yang Hucheng. I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Xueliang seemed to have made a lot of determination and said: "Brother Huchen, since I can't explain Chiang Kai-shek, then I will come."

I am forcing Chiang to fight, I wonder if Brother Huchen is willing to work with his younger brother?!"

Yang Hucheng said with a smile: "I dare not say goodbye!"

"Brother Huchen!" Zhang Xueliang's eyes lit up. It was as if the boulder pressing on his heart had been lifted away. He relaxed all over and couldn't help but hold his hands tightly with Yang Hucheng. The two discussed in the office for more than an hour.

, Zhang Xueliang left Yang Hucheng's office with a satisfied smile.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xueliang took the plane to Luoyang.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I have been asked to pick you up!" Zhang Xueliang had just stepped off the plane, and Qian Dajun, who had been waiting on the edge of the tarmac, greeted him.

Zhang Xueliang nodded slightly and followed Qian Dajun into the car. Sitting in the car, Qian Dajun asked: "What's the matter with the deputy commander-in-chief coming to Luoyang this time?!"

Zhang Xueliang looked at Qian Dajun and said: "I received a telegram from Mrs. Sun a few days ago. She asked me to intercede for the seven gentlemen of the Anti-Japanese and Salvation Association in front of the Commander-in-Chief. In addition, you also know that my subordinates are all from the Northeast. Recently, I

I have called the commander-in-chief several times to request resistance against Japan, but the commander-in-chief has not approved it, so my subordinates are somewhat unsettled in military morale. I would like to ask the commander-in-chief to come to Xi'an in person to give lectures to my subordinates."

Qian Dajun nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Zou Taofen and others were not arrested under the order of the commission. State-owned legal institutions have family rules, so since the police arrested them, there must be a reason. I think the Deputy Commander-in-Chief

It’s better not to go to the committee to ask for mercy. This will make the committee passive.”

Zhang Xueliang pretended to sigh and said: "I know it too! But people can't break their promises! Since I have promised Mrs. Sun to intercede on their behalf, I can't break my promise, can I?! Don't forget that Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Jiang are biological sisters.

.What if one day Mrs. Chiang fanns the Commander-in-Chief’s pillow because of this on the bedside, I will be in trouble!”

Qian Dajun coughed slightly at this time, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Madam is a person who understands righteousness, I don't think he would do such a thing. I think you are worrying too much, Deputy Commander-in-Chief

.”

Zhang Xueliang said: "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Now I would rather be a villain first than a gentleman."

During the chat, Qian Dajun accompanied Zhang Xueliang to Chiang Kai-shek's camp in Luoyang.

"Han Qing, you're here!" Chiang Kai-shek asked when he saw Zhang Xueliang walking in from outside.

"Commander-in-Chief!" Zhang Xueliang saluted Chiang Kai-shek and said, "I have two things to do here this time, and I ask the Commander-in-Chief to fulfill them."

Chiang Kai-shek asked with a cold face: "You are not asking me to promise you to stop suppressing the Communists and uniting against Japan, are you? If it is these two things, you don't have to say anything."

Zhang Xueliang said: "Commander-in-chief, Qing Han is not here for these two things."

"What's the matter?!" When Chiang Kai-shek heard that it was not these two things, some monks who were two feet tall were confused and looked at Zhang Xueliang with some doubts. At this moment, Qian Dajun knocked on the door with a tray and walked into Chiang Kai-shek's house.

In the office, he placed the teapot with cold boiled water next to Chiang Kai-shek and quietly stuffed a piece of paper to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek quickly read the contents on the paper, smiled at Qian Dajun with understanding, and then said to Zhang Xueliang: "Han Qing, since it's not those two things, please tell me what it is."

Zhang Xueliang made a coy look and said: "Commander-in-Chief, can you order the release of the seven arrested people from the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Salvation Association, including Zou Taofen?!"

Chiang Kai-shek frowned and said: "Han Qing, you are so confused! These seven people were not arrested by me, but by the Shanghai police station. If they had not broken the law, the police would not arrest them. They

Whether guilty or not, the court will make a fair judgment. It is not convenient for you or me to interfere." Then Chiang Kai-shek changed the topic and asked: "Han Qing, what is the second thing?!"

Zhang Xueliang replied: "Commander-in-Chief, my soldiers are all from the Northeast. During this period, I have repeatedly sent messages to request resistance against Japan, but you have not approved it. The soldiers are not emotionally stable. Now I am also alone. I want to ask the Commander-in-Chief to go to Xi'an.

Training. To stabilize the morale of the army so that we can follow the Commander-in-Chief and continue to suppress the Communists."

Seeing Zhang Xueliang's sincere look, Chiang Kai-shek began to hesitate in his heart. After thinking again and again, Chiang Kai-shek could not make up his mind and said to Zhang Xueliang: "Han Qing, you are also tired along the way. Go and have a rest! Wait until I finish handling my task.

I’ll get back to you with the above matter.”

"Okay! Then I will wait for the good news from the Commander-in-Chief!" Zhang Xueliang saluted Chiang Kai-shek and walked out of the office.

After the office door closed, Qian Dajun led Zhang Qun and Yang Yongtai out of the next room. Chiang Kai-shek said calmly: "You all already know the purpose of Zhang Xueliang's visit, right?! I want to hear your opinions.

"

Yang Yongtai said: "I think there is fraud in the appointment. We all know Zhang Xueliang's control over the Northeastern Army. Even if he is not in the Northeast now and his control over his subordinates has weakened, he should not report his subordinates' military morale at this time.

Unstable."

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhang Qun. Zhang Qun frowned and said: "I feel the same as Chang Qing. But you can't catch the tiger's cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den. Why don't you go deep into the tiger's den? Maybe there will be unexpected gains?!

And we can take advantage of the unstable morale of the Northeast Army and use public opinion to put pressure on Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, forcing them to further compromise with the government."

Chiang Kai-shek thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and said to Qian Dajun: "Invite Shao Lizi to my place this afternoon."

"Yes!" Qian Dajun responded and looked at Yang Yongtai and Zhang Qun. Yang Yongtai and Zhang Qun greeted Chiang Kai-shek understandingly and followed Qian Dajun out of Chiang Kai-shek's office.
