Due to the sudden intrusion of Song Meiling and others, all He Yingqin's plans to seize power were disrupted. In addition, the neutralists in the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang and the elders suddenly exerted their strength, all of which supported Soong Meiling. Forced by the situation, He Yingqin had no choice but to do so.

They could choose to compromise. The next morning, that is, the day after the incident, at 8 o'clock in the morning, Soong Meiling called Zhang Xueliang to inform Duanna to mediate the matter; at the same time, Duanna also sent a telegram for Chiang Kai-shek's safety.

To Zhang Xueliang.

After seeing Duana off, for the sake of his own safety, Song Ziwen quietly left the Song Mansion at No. 1 Arctic Pavilion on the top of Fuzhou Mountain in the east of Nanjing City. He did not choose to take a car, but took two personal guards down the mountain from the forest trail behind the mountain.

, then went to the Belgian Residence in Gaoloumen, borrowed the minister's car, and rushed to the home of my cousin Wen Yuqing at No. 2 Xiqiao in the west of Nanjing to consider countermeasures.

Wen Yuqing was a close confidant of Song Ziwen. Like Song Ziwen, he was also a Guangdong thermophile. He studied in the United States in his early years and studied radio. After returning to China in 1930, he joined his cousin Song Ziwen. After Song Ziwen's recommendation, he was promoted all the way, and in 1932 he was promoted to the Department of Electrical Affairs of the Ministry of Communications.

Director. Under the planning of Song Ziwen and approved by Chiang Kai-shek, the Cipher Office of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Affairs, which is strictly confidential to the outside world, was established at No. 17 West Bridge, Nanjing. Wen Yuqing is also the director, and the work is handled by telecommunications experts such as Wang Weijun and Yang Si. Mainly

The mission was to use several high-power radios imported from the United States to monitor the external telecommunications signals of the Japanese Embassy in China (No. 1, Beiping Road, Gulou, Nanjing) and then decipher them. Wen Yuqing reported the deciphered coded messages to the Central Military Commission's Confidential Office from time to time.

forwarded to Chiang Kai-shek. In addition, Wen Yuqing also followed Song Ziwen's secret instructions and copied some important messages and sent them to the Song Dynasty in person.

At the critical moment, Song Ziwen, who urgently needed to know what the Japanese were doing, stopped worrying about anything else and came to Wen Yuqing's house. He found Wen Yuqing and consulted the top-secret Japanese messages that had been deciphered for several days. Song Ziwen soon realized the seriousness of the gaffe. Because no matter what,

It is said that Chiang Kai-shek would not really turn to the Japanese for the sake of his personal status, but He Yingqin, who was eager to rise to power, was definitely a pro-Japanese person. After making up his mind, Song Ziwen did not delay any longer and hurried back to the Song Dynasty Mansion to discuss with Soong Meiling.

Finally, it was decided to hold a secret meeting.

"Brother, why isn't Gu Zhenglun among the people you called?!" After her cronies left, Song Meiling couldn't help but ask the question in her heart.

Song Ziwen frowned and replied: "Although Gu Zhenglun is the commander of the military police, he and He Yingqin are fellow townsmen in Guizhou, and the two of them have many private contacts. Now is a critical moment, and I have to be on guard. Besides, Lin Aofeng transferred another battalion today and infiltrated

Nanjing, if necessary, we can ask Lin Aofeng to mobilize troops to disarm the gendarmerie and replace Gu Zhenglun."

Song Meiling thought for a while and then asked: "Brother, I see that all the guards under Lin Aofeng are very skilled. Why don't you let Lin Aofeng send someone to kill He Yingqin? Wouldn't this be done once and for all?!"

Song Ziwen smiled bitterly and said: "Little sister, you are so naive. If one He Yingqin is missing, another one might appear. Besides, everyone is staring at us now. Whether it is us or He Yingqin, if something happens to one of us,

The other party will definitely have no relationship with God. This will make everyone feel insecure and alienated."

On December 15th, the sky was dark and the wind was freezing. The official residence of the President of the Republic of China in Xiaohongshan, Nanjing (commonly known as Meiling Palace) was heavily guarded. In addition to the three checkpoints set up on the surface, there were also multiple hidden posts. At this time,

The atmosphere on the second floor of the official residence was oppressive and solemn. Fifteen people, including the Song brothers and sisters, Kong Xiangxi, Chen Guofu, Chen Lifu, Xu Enzeng, Zhu Jiahua, Zhang Zhizhong, Dai Li, and Chen Brai, were sitting around an oval rosewood table.

Song Ziwen took out the telegram deciphered by the secret code station, and Song Meiling's tearful confession moved the participants. After some discussion, Song Ziwen arranged everything he could think of...

Shortly after the meeting between Song Ziwen and others ended, the details of the secret meeting held by Song Ziwen and others were transmitted via radio waves to Yan'an, thousands of miles away.

"Chairman! This is the telegram our comrade just sent from Nanjing. Take a look!" After receiving Lin Aofeng's telegram, Zhou Enlai knew that the matter was urgent, took two bites of food, and rushed to Mao Zedong with the telegram.

A place to rest and work.

After Mao Zedong received the telegram and signaled Zhou Enlai to sit down, he started to read it while smoking a cigarette. After about ten minutes, Mao Zedong put down the telegram and said: "Chiang Kai-shek is sorry for us, but for the sake of the nation

Dayi, we cannot add insult to injury at this time."

Zhou Enlai smiled and said: "Chairman, I have had contact with Zhang Xueliang. Because of the loss of Northeast China, Zhang Xueliang was under great pressure. At the same time, he also agreed with our idea of ​​jointly resisting the war. I want to go to Xi'an to mediate and strive for a peaceful resolution of this matter.

.”…

After many mediations, Soong Meiling and Soong Ziwen arrived in Xi'an on a special plane on December 22. After arriving in Xi'an, Soong Meiling, accompanied by Zhang Xueliang, met with Chiang Kai-shek, and then the two sides began negotiations on how to release Chiang Kai-shek.

Because of the rush and negotiations, Song Meiling and others fell asleep early. After Lin Aofeng arranged for the guards, he changed his clothes and quietly left the residence. While the Northeastern Army on guard was not paying attention, Lin Aofeng secretly sneaked into Zhou Enlai's residence.

Zhou Enlai, who was sitting busy at his desk, felt thirsty and reached for a cup. He was suddenly startled by the reflection on the edge of the desk. He suddenly raised his head and saw Lin Aofeng standing next to him and laughing at him. Zhou Enlai was immediately excited.

He stood up, asked Lin Aofeng to sit down, and asked, "Why are you here?!"

Lin Aofeng replied: "Vice Chairman Zhou, I have to come! Song Meiling and others are very sincere in coming to negotiate this time. But Chiang Kai-shek has no intention of compromising with you. And Chiang Kai-shek has already planned to play the family card with Zhang Xueliang."

"We have also considered this!" Zhou Enlai said as he sat down next to Lin Aofeng, and then said: "The key now is not with us, but with Zhang Xueliang."

Lin Aofeng said: "Zhang Xueliang has long lost the support of the people since he gave up the three northeastern provinces to the Japanese without firing a shot. This time, although he launched military remonstrances from the perspective of justice, no one outside would say good about him.

!In addition, intelligence compiled from various aspects and telegrams exchanged between the Japanese ambassador to China and Japan have confirmed that this incident has stimulated the Japanese. The Japanese do not want to see a united China emerge, so no later than the end of next year

, the Japanese will launch a full-scale war of aggression against China."

Zhou Enlai suddenly became solemn, frowned and said to himself: "This is also what the Chairman and I are worried about. Although Chiang Kai-shek has vigorously reorganized the army in recent years, after all, after many years of internal strife, our combat power is different from the Japanese.

Very big.”

Lin Aofeng said: "The huge difference in combat power with Japan is only temporary! We have 450 million compatriots, and although Japan claims to have a population of 20 million, its actual population is only over 70 million.

If Japan cannot occupy all of China within half a year, then only failure awaits Japan."...

Half an hour later, Lin Aofeng followed the way he came, evading the patrols of the Northeastern Army and the 17th Route Army, and returned to the residence of Song Meiling and others.

"Where have you been?!" Lin Aofeng walked into his room, and as soon as he turned on the light, Song Ziwen's voice rang out. Lin Aofeng, who had already known that there was someone in the room, replied nonchalantly: "I went to explore the way.

Regardless of whether you talk or fight, you must first ensure the safety of the principal. If your negotiation has no result, and He Yingqin and the others are impatient and ready to use force to solve the problem, then I will command my men to rescue them before He Yingqin or Zhang Xueliang take action.

."

Song Ziwen thought for a while and asked: "How sure are you that you can rescue the person safely?"

Lin Aofeng replied: "If we don't consider you and the military and political dignitaries who were detained together with the principal, I am 90% sure that I can rescue the principal without even a hair being hurt. If you and those military and political dignitaries are taken into consideration, I am only 50% sure.

become."

Song Ziwen breathed out, as if the boulder pressing on his heart was released, and said: "If there is no result in the final negotiation, you can directly rescue Chairman Chiang from Xi'an without considering us."

"I know!" Lin Aofeng responded lightly.

Watching Song Ziwen leave, a murderous thought flashed through Lin Aofeng's heart... After several days of negotiations, Chiang Kai-shek finally verbally agreed to Zhang Xueliang's request. On December 25, Zhang Xueliang personally escorted Chiang Kai-shek away.

Xi'an. On December 26, Chiang Kai-shek arrived at Luoyang Airport.

"Darling, it's thanks to Chen Xi that you were able to escape safely this time. If it weren't for him, you might have been killed by He Yingqin now!" Chiang Kai-shek, who had long known the situation in Nanjing from Duan Na, heard his wife again

Mentioning this matter, I was inexplicably moved. After staring at Lin Aofeng for a while, Chiang Kai-shek said: "Your performance is very good! You are worthy of being an outstanding student of Huangpu. I regard it as yours."

I am honored to be the principal." After that, Chiang Kai-shek, accompanied by his wife, boarded the plane...

In the early morning of December 30, Lin Aofeng had just returned to the regiment headquarters in Baoshan County, Shanghai from Nanjing. His butt was still hot from sitting. There was a knock on the door. Lin Aofeng opened the door and saw Zhang Zhizhong standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment and murmured to himself.

Said: "Senior brother, why are you here?!"

Zhang Zhizhong walked into Lin Aofeng's office with a smile and said: "Chen Xi, you performed well in Xi'an this time. Chairman Jiang is very satisfied. I originally wanted to promote you to a military position, but I pushed you away. You won't blame me, right?

!”

Lin Aofeng closed the door, poured a cup of tea and put it into Zhang Zhizhong's hand and said, "Brother, who do you think I, Lin Aofeng, am?! Am I such a villain in your influence?!"

"Okay! Okay! Brother Fool is wrong. I'm judging you, a gentleman, with a villain's heart." Zhang Zhizhong smiled and asked Lin Aofeng to sit next to him, then took out an envelope from his briefcase and handed it to Lin Aofeng.
Chapter completed!
