Chapter 97: The Xi'an Incident Arriving as Promised
"Madman, why are you so preoccupied these days?!" Lin Aofeng, who was standing in front of the window in a daze, came back to his senses when he heard Shen Lang's questioning voice. He looked at Shen Lang blankly. Shen Lang joked with a smile: "Madman, you can usually spot me when I'm outside your office door. What's wrong with you these days?! You're always distracted. Are you thinking about Keqing and his mother and son?!"
Lin Aofeng took a deep breath, walked to his desk, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, hesitated again, put it back and asked: "Is there any new telegram coming from Nanjing?!"
"No!" Shen Lang walked to Lin Aofeng's side and asked doubtfully: "Are you worried that Zhang Xueliang will be detrimental to the Chairman?!"
Lin Aofeng said calmly: "I'm not worried about the safety of the chairman. Because Zhang Xueliang never thought about killing the chairman at all. He just used the means he could to achieve the goals that the entire Chinese people wanted to achieve. Our situation The Chairman is a very vengeful person. Zhang Xueliang is his brother. The Chairman will not kill him, but Yang Hucheng, it is hard to say."
"Madman, these are none of our business. Even if Zhang Xueliang kills the chairman of the committee, he doesn't care what happens to us. At most, if there is another big boss, we will still be our soldiers." Shen Lang explained with a smile.
Lin Aofeng smiled bitterly, agreeing with Shen Lang's statement. The two chatted casually for a while, and then went about their business again.
Time passed day by day, and at 5 a.m. on December 12, just like history, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a military revolt. The Northeast Army captured Chiang Kai-shek at Huaqing Pool in Lintong. At the same time, the military and political officials accompanying Chiang Kai-shek were also detained by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. .
To stabilize the order in Xi'an, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng issued a telegram to the whole country and issued eight proposals for national salvation: "First, reorganize the Nanjing government to accommodate all parties and factions and jointly be responsible for saving the country. Second, stop all civil wars. Third, immediately release the patriotic people arrested in Shanghai. Leader. Fourth, release all political prisoners across the country. Fifth, open up the popular patriotic movement. Sixth, guarantee all political freedoms of people’s assembly and association. Seventh, truly abide by Premier Sun’s will. Eighth, convene a national salvation conference immediately.”
"Madman! Madman!" Shen Lang panicked and ran into Lin Aofeng's office with the telegram. Before Lin Aofeng could speak, the panting Shen Lang handed the telegram to Lin Aofeng and said, "I'll let you guess." Hit. Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched military remonstrance early this morning. Now everything is in chaos outside."
Lin Aofeng put down the telegram and asked: "How are our people doing now?!"
Shen Lang came to his senses and replied: "It's okay! Everything is under control. The brothers' emotions are still stable."
"Dong, dong, dong" Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Aofeng and Shen Lang looked at each other and shouted: "Come in!"
The confidential staff officer pushed open the door and walked into Lin Aofeng's office and said: "Commander, urgent call from Nanjing!"
Lin Aofeng took the telegram and said while reading it: "You go down first!"
"Yes!" The confidential staff officer turned around and walked out of Lin Aofeng's office. After the door closed, Shen Lang asked: "Madman, what happened?!" Lin Aofeng handed the telegram to Shen Lang and said: "It seems that our Director He I have been in second place for too long and I want to take advantage of this opportunity to rise to the top."
"Madman, no matter how well-trained our troops are, what effect can a group go to Nanjing with? Could it be that the director of education was in a hurry and went to the hospital because of his illness? Is he confused?!" Shen Lang frowned after reading the telegram. He frowned tightly. Lin Aofeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you are wrong. Although I don't want to wade into this muddy water, reality forces me to wade into this muddy water, but I I won’t send all the brothers in the regiment, I will only take the guard company this time.”
Shen Lang hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Madman, Madam Chiang is in Shanghai now. If you want to lead a team to Nanjing, you'd better go to Madam first. After all, she will help you. If anything happens, you It’s easy to excuse.”
"This is like my chief of staff!" Lin Aofeng patted Shen Lang on the shoulder and walked out of his office...
"Ji..." More than an hour later, there was a sudden braking sound outside Song Ziwen's residence. Then the doorbell of Song's residence rang. The housekeeper opened the door and saw Lin Aofeng standing at the door wearing a suit and a black hat and asked. :"who are you looking for?!"
Lin Aofeng raised his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Song, why don't you even recognize me?!"
"Are you..." The housekeeper stared at Lin Aofeng in confusion for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Are you the young master of the Lin family?!"
"Yes! Uncle Song, is Mr. Ziwen at home?!" Lin Aofeng asked.
"Here! Here! Here! I will go and inform you right away!" The housekeeper asked Lin Aofeng to wait at the door for a while, and then hurried in: "Master, the young master of the Lin family is here to visit!"
"Young Master of the Lin family?!" Song Ziwen muttered and frowned. Song Meiling, who was sitting opposite Song Ziwen, saw Song Ziwen frowning and asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you?! What happened?!"
Song Ziwen replied: "Nothing! It's just a visit from the grandson of an old friend. You sit here for a while, I'll go out and take a look, and I'll be back soon!" After that, Song Ziwen quickly walked out of the living room.
Lin Aofeng, who was wandering at the gate, heard the footsteps approaching from far away, raised his head, saw Song Ziwen walking quickly, and said with a smile: "I have taken the liberty of coming here today, and I would like to ask Mr. Song for your respect."
Song Ziwen looked at Lin Aofeng and asked, "What do you want from me?!"
Lin Aofeng said with a smile: "Is this how Mr. Song treats guests?!"
Song Ziwen was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said: "I'm rude, you can come in with me!"
Lin Aofeng winked at his men and followed Song Ziwen in. When passing by the garden, Lin Aofeng grabbed Song Ziwen and said: "Mr. Song, this is the telegram sent to me by the director of education. You will understand why I came after reading it. Got it!"
Song Ziwen doubtfully took the telegram from Lin Aofeng's hand and read it. It didn't matter if he didn't read it. Song Ziwen was startled when he saw it. He raised his head suddenly and asked in shock: "Is this all true?!"
Lin Aofeng nodded and said: "The director of education was worried that He Yingqin would use this opportunity to engage in conspiracy and prevent his wife from coming forward, so he sent this telegram to me."
Song Ziwen breathed out and said: "Wen Bai is still thoughtful!" Then he asked: "How many troops do you have now?!"
Lin Aofeng replied: "A reinforced regiment is currently stationed in Baoshan Town. The one accompanying me this time is my security company." Seeing that Song Ziwen was about to get angry, Lin Aofeng continued: "My security company singled out the Central Committee during the exercise. The military academy taught the corps guard battalion, and finally completed the beheading mission. This time I went to Nanjing to protect my wife, because there were too many people, which would easily cause trouble."
Song Ziwen nodded in agreement, led Lin Aofeng into the living room, and said to Song Meiling who was reading a book: "Little sister, something happened to Zhongzheng!"
"What?!" Song Meiling was shocked, the book in her hand fell down, and asked: "What happened to him?!"
Lin Aofeng stepped forward and said: "At five o'clock this morning, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a military revolt and detained the principal and the military and political officials who followed the principal."
"Damn Zhang Hanqing, you wasted the chairman's trust in him!" Song Meiling cursed, and then looked at Song Ziwen. Song Ziwen said: "The only plan for now is to find a way to rescue Zhongzheng first, we will talk about the rest later!"
"That's right!" Song Meiling suddenly thought of her Australian friend Duanna and said, "Brother, I thought of a person. Maybe he can mediate this matter."
"Who?!" Song Ziwen asked.
Song Meiling said: "Duan Na. This person is in Shanghai now. He has a close relationship with Zhang Xueliang, and he also has a very good relationship with Zhongzheng."
"Okay! Don't say anything!" Song Ziwen interrupted Song Meiling, who was about to continue chattering, and then said: "We will split up. You call Duan Na and ask him to come over. I will call the elder brother-in-law, and we will work together.
Let’s discuss it.”
At dusk, when the last ray of sunset disappeared from the sky, Kong Xiangxi and Duanna arrived at the Song Mansion one after another. After more than two hours of discussion, the four people followed Lin Aofeng and quietly left the Song Mansion under the protection of the security company.
The car was speeding along the highway, and at about one o'clock in the morning, Lin Aofeng led the security company to protect Song Meiling and the four of them quietly entered Nanjing.
"Chenxi, where are we going now?!" Song Ziwen, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, couldn't help but ask when he saw that the car was driving towards the party headquarters building instead of going to the dormitory.
Lin Aofeng replied: "When we first entered Nanjing, the officers guarding the city were specially arranged there by the Chief of Education. He told me that He Yingqin was preparing to use force to solve the problem in Xi'an. The only one who can stop He Yingqin now is my wife."
"This He Jingzhi is really nothing!" Song Meiling cursed, suppressing the anger in her heart, and said: "Chen Xi, you are loyal to your principal, and your principal will never forget you."
"Madam, this is my responsibility." Lin Aofeng responded simply, looked around, and said to the driver: "Stop the car first."
When the car stopped, Lin Aofeng got out of the car. Not long after, a group of heavily armed soldiers ran in front of Lin Aofeng. Lin Aofeng ordered: "I will give you ten minutes to control the entire party department building."
"Yes!" Guard company commander Cao Yong responded and led his soldiers into battle formation and quickly approached the party headquarters building along both sides of the road...
After about seven or eight minutes, two long and one short flashlight signals appeared in the direction of the party headquarters building. At this time, Lin Aofeng discarded the cigarette butt in his hand, got into the car, and said to the driver: "Drive."
"This is a special period for the party-state. The rebellion of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng is our shame! We should be powerless to suppress their banditry! I now recommend that the Central Committee remove Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng from all positions, and at the same time send troops to suppress the Northeast Army
And the 17th Route Army!..."
