Jiang Dingwen's frightened eyes were wide open, and his mouth was wide open. The head was completely cut off from the neck, and the head was intact. Zhang Xueliang looked at the head carefully for a long time. He didn't know what it felt like, and he couldn't be happy.
, and I’m not sad either. Jiang Dingwen was also considered a tiger general, and he also made great military exploits during the Kuomintang’s Northern Expedition. It’s a bit of a pity that he died like this now.
Zhang Xueliang nodded: "Okay! Brother, you have worked hard, go and rest!"
Zou Kai came back early the next morning. Fortunately, nothing happened. The administrative office did not say anything about Jiang Dingwen's death. Until the afternoon, the people in the city only knew that there had been a shooting at the administrative office last night. No one knew that Jiang Dingwen was dead. Ma
Xingkong had nothing to do. He was watching some brothers teaching Ma Jianwei wrestling in the yard. Zhang Xueliang sent someone to look for him. He nodded and said he would come right away.
When he came to Zhang Xueliang's office, Zhang Xueliang was passing around clothes. Zhang Xueliang usually didn't like to wear military uniforms, and always wore a crisp suit, so that he could match it when walking with his beautiful secretary Zhao Yidi. He would only attend military circles or meet important guests.
He would only wear military uniform when he was young. Ma Xingkong said, "What's the matter? Second brother is going to a meeting?"
Zhang Xueliang said while buttoning his buttons: "On the table is the telegram we just received. It is an order personally issued by the Chairman of the Committee. Take a look!"
Ma Xingkong grabbed the telegram, looked at it and was stunned, and asked: "He wants to see me?"
Zhang Xueliang nodded: "I also feel strange, how could the chairman of the committee know you, but asked me to take you with you by name!"
"Haha! Does he want to promote me, my brother?" Ma Xingkong chuckled and said, "I don't care about anything else. It would be nice to be the vice chairman of the committee!"
Zhang Xueliang smiled: "Vice Chairman, who do you think you are! First, you are not a veteran of the Kuomintang for three dynasties. Second, you are not well-known in the military. Third, you are just a minor major now. You are just a general after winning three levels in a row.
That's it, Vice Chairman, I haven't even thought about it!" Zhang Xueliang said as he walked out the door. The car was already ready. He got in the car and went straight to Lintong.
Lintong is located southeast of Xi'an, close to the Qinling Mountains. It is the most famous for its hot springs. During the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yuhuan, the favorite concubine of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, also bathed here and built a special bathing place, Huaqing Pool. Chiang Kai-shek stayed here for more than an hour.
Afterwards, the car stopped at the entrance of Huaqing Pool. Zhang Xueliang and Ma Xingkong got out of the car. They took out their weapons at the door and then walked to Chiang Kai-shek's residence under the leadership of the receptionist.
"Jiang Dingwen!" Ma Xingkong and Zhang Xueliang were both stunned. They looked at each other, and Ma Xingkong said: "You are not..." Halfway through, he stopped immediately and could not continue.
Jiang Dingwen looked at Ma Xingkong and smiled slightly: "Adjutant Ma, what's wrong with me?"
Zhang Xueliang said hurriedly: "Director Jiang is no longer on the camp, so why is he still here?"
"I asked him to come!" A bald, thin, middle-aged man wearing a robe came over. This man's eyes were not big, his face was as long as his body, he had no beard, and he always spoke with a serious smile.
With serious faces, Zhang Xueliang and Jiang Dingwen stood up quickly and saluted the man.
"Sit! Sit down!" In a pavilion in the courtyard, Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Xueliang, and Jiang Dingwen sat down. Ma Xingkong knew that there was no seat for him here, so he stood behind Zhang Xueliang. Chiang Kai-shek looked up at Ma Xingkong
He glanced at it and asked Zhang Xueliang: "Han Qing! Is this your sworn brother Ma Xingkong?"
Zhang Xueliang said: "Yes! He is my sworn brother, and he is currently an adjutant with me!"
Chiang Kai-shek waved to Ma Xingkong and pointed to the vacant stone pier opposite him: "Sit down too, it's uncomfortable to stand there and talk!"
Ma Xingkong glanced at Zhang Xueliang, and Zhang Xueliang nodded slightly. Ma Xingkong just sat down. Only then did Chiang Kai-shek come to the topic: "Han Qing, you and Ding Wen are both my right-hand men, and they are suppressing bandits.
Main force, but, I heard that last night, someone attacked the Shaanxi Administrative Office, but you, Han Qing, stood still, what's going on?"
Zhang Xueliang said: "Commissioner, there is a reason for this incident. If someone attacks the administrative office, the committee knows why the attack was carried out. It was all because Director Jiang shot and killed students, which almost led to a civil commotion in Xi'an! Machine guns are not used for this purpose.
Those who beat our own people are used to beat the invaders! It was precisely because of Director Jiang’s wanton behavior that someone attacked the administrative office last night!”
Chiang Kai-shek said: "No matter what the reason is, attacking the administrative office is rebellion. I heard that people were killed!"
"Yes!" Jiang Dingwen said this time: "My secretary Zhu Zhiqiang was killed, and his body is still in the office! There was also a soldier who was killed, and his head was missing! It's terrible!"
Zhang Xueliang said: "As far as I know, the people who attacked the administrative office did not invade the administrative office, so there is no mention of murder! Director Jiang, you have to pay attention to evidence when you speak!"
Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly stopped the discussion between the two, looked at Ma Xingkong opposite, and suddenly asked: "Adjutant Ma, what do you think is going on?"
Ma Xingkong smiled: "If you ask me, the responsibility for this lies entirely with Director Jiang. First, Director Jiang is responsible for the defense and security of Xi'an. It was wrong to shoot the students, and it also caused someone to attack the administrative office. Second, our deputy
The commander is only responsible for suppressing bandits. If you want to talk about responsibility, it is just that he did not rescue in time. The main responsibility still lies with Director Jiang. The security in Xi'an is so bad that he can't even stop a few attackers. How can he resist the attack of the Communist Party? As for his death,
Since the person died in the administrative office, it’s hard to tell whether it was the attackers’ fault or whether it was their own business. As the general suppressant, of course we don’t know. Besides, Director Jiang is responsible for public security and manages the police station. This
Director Jiang should investigate this matter as soon as possible!"
The more Jiang Dingwen listened, the more uncomfortable he became: "Commission, this...!"
Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly: "What Adjutant Ma said makes sense. Since this matter has not caused any damage, let's forget it. Dingwen! You are indeed right in your recommendation. This Ma Xingkong is indeed a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. I don't know Adjutant Ma."
Are you willing to work here?"
Ma Xingkong lowered his head and smiled: "How can Ma Xingkong live up to the honor you have given me? However, I just came back from the Northeast not long ago, and my second brother and I have just reunited. If you don't give up the commission, give me three years, and my second brother and I will be together."
Can we talk about this brotherhood and then work for the committee?"
"Hahaha..." Chiang Kai-shek laughed. Jiang Dingwen and Zhang Xueliang were both surprised. They had never seen Chiang Kai-shek's effect. Ma Xingkong made Chiang Kai-shek laugh with just a few words. What does this mean? Wait for Chiang Kai-shek to laugh.
Then he said to Ma Xingkong: "In that case, I will wait for you for three years. As a gentleman..." Chiang Kai-shek stretched out his right hand.
Ma Xingkong also tapped Chiang Kai-shek's palm with his right hand: "A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with!"
