Chiang Kai-shek was arrested, and the world was shocked. Not only the government, but everyone was shocked. The warlords who had separated themselves from one side in the past were ready to move, and the heroes who had the opportunity to succeed Chiang Kai-shek were ready to move. Even the Americans across thousands of mountains and rivers were ready to move.
Telegrams from all over the country flew to Xi'an like a hailstorm. Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were overwhelmed, with some explaining things clearly, some supporting them, some admonishing them, and some even making them veto!
"What should we do now?" Zhang Xueliang asked: "The man has been captured, but he has become a hot potato. Yesterday I received a telegram from Tongguan. The three armies brought by Chiang Kai-shek are approaching Tongguan. Not only will they not be able to deal with Japan with the same hatred,
People, on the contrary, made China more chaotic!"
"Don't worry, they don't dare to fight!" Ma Xingkong said: "As long as the government doesn't announce a new president for a day, they won't fight!"
Yang Hucheng smiled: "Yes! As long as Chiang Kai-shek is in our hands, they will not be able to elect a president for a while!" Changing the subject, Yang Hucheng continued: "But, we have to find someone to talk to Chiang Kai-shek and get him to agree to resist Japan.
Otherwise, if someone elects a new president, our military remonstrance will really turn into rebellion!"
Zhang Xueliang nodded: "Is there any suitable candidate?"
Everyone was silent, obviously not, they were all trying to catch Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek must have been psychologically resistant. No matter what he said, Chiang Kai-shek would not agree. Ma Xingkong said: "Now we can only find outsiders, second brother,
Why don't you send a telegram to Duke Zhou? I heard that Chiang Kai-shek and Duke Zhou also knew each other when they were at Whampoa Military Academy. Wouldn't it be better for Duke Zhou to talk!"
"Yes! This is a good candidate!" Zhang Xueliang nodded: "I will do it now!"
On the day of the Xi'an Incident, the first lady of the Party and State, Soong Meiling, was still in Shanghai. She almost fainted when she heard it. What a big deal it was. As a woman with a Chen family, he endured it. He thought of one person, Reina. Reina
He is an Australian, a former journalist, and Zhang Zuolin's adviser. If he can be invited to come forward, he may be able to make a difference.
Compared with Soong Meiling's tactics, the central government was much tougher. Most people in the Kuomintang supported strangulation, but Zhang Xueliang actually detained the president, which was treason. After more than an hour of consultation at the conference, a plan was finally come up with.
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were dismissed from all their positions and handed over to the Military Commission for strict handling. At the same time, He Yingqin was ordered to be the commander of the rebellion and led the three armies stranded in Luoyang to press against Shaanxi. Of course, they also did a conciliatory work and sent Yu Youren, a veteran of the three dynasties of the Kuomintang, to go there in person
Shaanxi negotiates with Zhang Xueliang.
The *** is closest to Xi'an and can be regarded as the first person to receive the news. The attitude towards Chiang Kai-shek's *** can also be divided into two groups. One group advocates killing and the other advocates releasing. As for the issue of killing and releasing, we have to
Turning to the Communist International for help. Finally, Stalin made important instructions, which resolved the conflict between the two parties. At this time, Zhang Xueliang's telegram also arrived.
After reading it, Mao Zedong nodded and said: "Well, this is a great opportunity. It depends on whether you have the ability to persuade Chiang Kai-shek."
Zhou Enlai sighed: "The responsibility is heavy! I know Chiang Kai-shek and he is very stubborn. I will do my best!"
On the tenth day, December 22, just the third day after Zhou Enlai arrived in Xi'an, a plane slowly landed in Xi'an. On the plane were Rena, the first lady of the party and state, Soong Meiling, and Soong Ziwen's siblings.
.With Reina's full mediation and Zhou Enlai's suggestion, Zhang Xueliang and Ma Xingkong agreed to let Song Meiling come.
Zhou Enlai said: "One of Chiang Kai-shek's biggest shortcomings is that he has a soft ear. Especially for Song Meiling, he has to obey his words on some things. If Mrs. Song can be allowed to persuade Chiang Kai-shek, there may be unexpected gains!"
Ma Xingkong smiled: "Then this Mrs. Song can be considered a hero among women? I have to see it first!"
The plane landed slowly. Ma Xingkong followed Zhang Xueliang and stood in the wind waiting. Song Meiling was wearing a fur coat and slowly came down with the help of Song Ziwen. Zhang Xueliang hurriedly saluted. Song Meiling smiled slightly and handed over her small bag: "Han Qing
Yeah, this is my item, do you want to check it?"
Zhang Xueliang waved his hands repeatedly: "Madam, you are joking!"
Ma Xingkong took it and opened it smoothly. He took out a pistol from it and waved it in front of his eyes: "Good stuff!" He kicked the pistol into his pocket and smiled at Song Meiling: "Mrs. Jiang, all the way.
Thank you for your hard work, please!”
Song Meiling glanced at Ma Xingkong and saw that he was just a major in the military. He was so arrogant around Zhang Xueliang, but Zhang Xueliang didn't feel inappropriate at all. She had already guessed who he was. Song Meiling said: "You are Ma Xingkong, Adjutant Ma."
Bar!"
"Oh? Madam, you know about me?" Ma Xingkong said.
Song Meiling nodded: "Who doesn't know the powerful bandit leader Ma Xingkong in the Northeast!"
Song Meiling wanted to use the word bandit to anger Ma Xingkong. Unexpectedly, Ma Xingkong had always been proud of being a bandit. He laughed loudly: "Madam, that's a compliment. Even the rough people in Wuthering Mountain know about it. I'm satisfied!"
"
Soong Meiling excused herself and got into the car with her head down. After returning to Xi'an, first of all, Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng and Zhou Enlai of the Communist Party of China talked with Soong Meiling and Soong Ziwen. On the matter of resisting Japan, Soong Meiling was more generous than Chiang Kai-shek.
This surprised everyone, and Ma Xingkong began to admire the woman in front of him.
Soong Meiling expressed her willingness to persuade Chiang Kai-shek and hoped to see him as soon as possible. Of course Zhang Xueliang and others agreed. Ma Xingkong led Soong Meiling and others into Chiang Kai-shek's room. All facilities were available, but they could not be free. The moment he opened the door,
Chiang Kai-shek was standing at the window in a daze.
"Darling!" Song Meiling's order made Chiang Kai-shek tremble all over. He slowly turned around, with tears streaming down his face. Looking at Song Meiling, Chiang Kai-shek took two steps forward and held Song Meiling's hand tightly: "You
Why are you here?"
Song Ziwen also cried together. Ma Xingkong saw this posture and pulled Song Ziwen. The two exited the room and gently closed the door. In the corridor, Song Ziwen was still crying. Ma Xingkong said: "Why are you talking to a bitch?"
Same, why are you crying!" Song Ziwen glared at Ma Xingkong and ignored him. Ma Xingkong said: "If you follow your sister, aren't you afraid that we will detain you too?" Song Ziwen was stunned and looked at Ma Xingkong warily.
Xingkong hurriedly took two steps back. Ma Xingkong laughed loudly: "Hahaha... look at how brave you are. To be honest, I admire your sister for coming here alone. She is a hero among women, better than you."
That brother-in-law is much stronger than you!"
"What do you want to say?" Song Ziwen asked impatiently.
Ma Xingkong smiled: "It's okay, it's just a sigh of relief. By the way, do you still have a sister at home?"
