Wu Liheng, a fierce general of An's army, was good at action but not good at words. It was precisely because of this that he was appointed by An Yi as the commander-in-chief who led his troops into Shaanxi.
Wu Liheng, who was promoted step by step from veteran Youzi to Major General Commander, lived up to An Yi's expectations and expressed concisely and concisely to the envoys of both warring parties: Brother, I have been ordered by Commander An to promote an armistice. If you don't give face and deliberately provoke war again, brother, I will
I will not give up the opportunity to make a profit. I will attack whoever takes the initiative to attack. I have no choice!
The envoys from both sides of the war left angrily, but in the end they all agreed to stop fighting. They knew in their hearts that Wu Liheng kept his word. If he really angered An Jiajun, they would dare to do anything in such a chaotic situation, and they would not have to bear the responsibility if they had the ability.
, on the contrary, it is possible to gain a good reputation for going all out to stop the civil war.
Another reason that makes both warring parties very fearful is that the Anjia Army's newly formed Class A Division, the 136th Division, has arrived in Shangluo. Together with the 44th Division and the 137th Division, the Anjia Army has a radius south of Xi'an.
In an area of more than 100 kilometers, more than 70,000 superior troops have been assembled. With the assistance of the powerful air force, they are fully capable of defeating any army. In addition, Anjiajun has up to 70,000 Sichuan troops behind him at any time.
support.
With the ceasefires in the surrounding areas of Shaanxi, the Xi'an Incident is gradually becoming clearer and heading towards a good situation, just as An Yi and all those who hope for peace hope.
On the morning of December 19, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which took the overall situation into consideration, sent out a telegram, recommending that Nanjing immediately convene a peace meeting of all parties. Each party would first propose an anti-Japanese and national salvation draft, discuss the issue of how to deal with Mr. Chiang Kai-shek, and oppose all civil wars.
At noon, Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to the press, informing the press that Chairman Chiang had initially agreed with his opinion. He would only wait for relevant officials from Nanjing to arrive before Chairman Chiang could safely return to the capital, and announced that he had reached six terms of understanding with Chiang Kai-shek: 1. Stop the civil war.
, Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party; 2. Resisting Japan with force
Further aggression; third, eliminate certain pro-Japanese elements in Nanjing and actively unite with Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Germany, who uphold justice; fourth, reorganize the 17th Route Army and the Northeast Army and treat them equally with the Central Army; fifth, give the people
To achieve greater political freedom; sixth, transform the Nanjing government organization into a democratic system.
At noon the next day, Song Ziwen and Duanne arrived in Xi'an and immediately met with Zhang Xueliang and Chairman Chiang. They gathered together for a confidential discussion. Zhang Xueliang, who was depressed, full of guilt and frustration, said on the spot that he would personally send a message to Chairman Chiang after the negotiations between the parties were completed.
Chang returned to Beijing.
After Song Ziwen and Jiang Dingwen obtained Zhang Xueliang's clear commitment, they flew to Luoyang from Xi'an again. They discussed repeatedly with Song Meiling, Dai Li and others who stayed in Luoyang waiting for news. After obtaining the approval of Feng Yuxiang, An Yi and Zhu Peide, they flew to Luoyang the next day.
We flew to Xi'an together in the morning and began intense negotiations with representatives of Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng, Zhou Enlai and other parties.
On December 25, after repeated consultations and negotiations, the Xi'an Incident was successfully resolved.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xueliang accompanied Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, Song Ziwen and his party left Xi'an and flew safely to Luoyang at five o'clock in the afternoon. When the news came out, the whole country celebrated, and the sound of firecrackers continued all night in major cities across the country. Countless soldiers and civilians and people from all walks of life who were worried about the country and the people
People celebrated with their foreheads and hands, and finally let go of their hung hearts. Only the Japanese military and political authorities, who did not hesitate to instigate a civil war in China, were furious.
Nine o'clock in the evening, Nanjing, Central Military Commission conference room.
An Yi, Feng Yuxiang, Zhu Peide and more than ten members of the Standing Committee and officials of various departments of the Military Commission finally completed the arduous mission after an hour of discussion. The generals were relieved of their heavy burdens and relaxed smiles returned to everyone's faces.
An Yi, who was full of worries, took a deep breath, apologetically asked everyone to be quiet, stood up and announced his decision loudly:
"Seniors and elders, the committee has safely entered the Luoyang camp and will return to Beijing tomorrow morning to take charge of the overall military and political situation. An Yi believes that the 16th Division and the Southwest Air Force have completed a good job in assisting the garrison in stabilizing the capital.
mission, you can end this special mission, hand over the security mission to the garrison and military police forces, and evacuate all of them from Nanjing and return to the Yichang garrison.
"Currently, the transport ships urgently requisitioned by General Gu Changfeng are gathering towards Nanjing. They will all arrive at Xiaguan Pier before about 12 o'clock tonight. Therefore, the soldiers of the 16th Division will gather and board the ships at midnight to try to get on board at dawn.
Before everyone left Nanjing and returned to their base, Commander Lao Gu was responsible for the heavy responsibility of city defense and security."
The attendees were very surprised. They did not expect An Yi to have such a plan to retire after success, and to withdraw the 16th Division so quickly.
All the generals present had complicated expressions, and they all urged to stay, but they felt relieved in their hearts. After all, the An's army, which was powerful and strict in law enforcement, put too much pressure on the entire city of Nanjing.
Gu Zhenglun stood up and sincerely advised: "General An, the officers and soldiers of the Sixteenth Division are loyal to the party and the country, and have worked hard and performed their duties with great merit. They have worked hard and performed their duties for ten days. All the central ministries and the soldiers and civilians in the city have witnessed that they have high evaluations. Although the task has been successfully completed, it is so silent.
Is it too hasty and inhumane to go back without any interest?"
When everyone heard this, they all offered words to persuade them to stay. No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone recognized the important role and outstanding contribution of An Yi and the 16th Division in this crisis. Feng Yuxiang also carefully suggested that An Yi should not be too hasty, no matter what.
Let’s talk about giving the soldiers of the Sixteenth Division the rewards they deserve.
An Yi knew it well, smiled helplessly, politely thanked Feng Yuxiang and the generals, and then sincerely said something touching:
"Seniors and elders, not only the 16th Division stationed in Nanjing is about to evacuate, but the 136th Division and the 44th Division stranded in Shangluo, Henan Province have also withdrawn to Yichang in the evening in the snow. Currently only
The 137th Division is temporarily stationed in Hanzhong and will follow the further arrangements of the Military Commission and the Commission.
"In the past few days, An Yi has felt extremely guilty. Although the soldiers of the Sixteenth Division have made certain contributions to relieving the crisis and stabilizing the capital, the Sixteenth Division was indeed mobilized by An Yi in violation of military law and beyond his authority. No matter what the starting point, it was rebellious and illegal.
From a legal point of view, Ling's crime should be severely punished, so how could he dare to expect any reward?
"An Yi appreciates your kindness. I just ask you to say a kind word and deal with An Yi and the soldiers of the 16th Division leniently. An Yi is extremely grateful! I can say something from the bottom of my heart. If I hadn't met him this time,
emergencies that seriously threaten the destiny of the country and the nation
An Yi never dared to act so boldly, and he was still scared when he thought about it. Fortunately, the matter was resolved satisfactorily, and An Yi felt much more relaxed. He took this opportunity to sincerely express his willingness to accept any punishment given by the Central Military Commission and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
."
The generals sighed after hearing this. Feng Yuxiang clapped his hands and sighed, and then praised loudly: "General An is loyal to the party and the country, and he is upright and upright. This move will surely dissipate all the rumors of criticism and let the soldiers and civilians across the country see that General An is full of bravery and loyalty!"
Everyone agreed and stood up one after another to comfort and encourage An Yi in every possible way, but An Yi had already made up his mind and there was no room for negotiation.
Ten o'clock in the evening, Xiyuan, Xufu, southern Sichuan.
Lao Shoudao, Jiang Yunshan, and Qi Shengqing sat around the dining table, sighing. From time to time, they picked up the wine glass and drank it in large gulps. The mood of the three of them was extremely complicated, some were relieved, some were disappointed, and most of them were sighs.
Jiang Yunshan was already 70% drunk. He put down his cup and sighed again: "Brother Dao, you are right, we brothers are still unlucky after all!"
Mr. Qi shook his head and sighed: "That's it, that's all! On one side is the fate of the country and the nation, and on the other side is the vanity of the entire Southwest and us old guys. But in the face of the great righteousness of the country and the nation, how can we dare to take into account our personal interests? Xiao Yi is right!
To be honest, he sees more clearly and has a higher vision than we do, and he is worthy of our service!"
"Bullshit! How can boy An Yi be so loyal and noble as Brother Qi thinks? He has long been resentful of the central government. He wants to be the king and hegemon in his heart and can't wait to replace it. Otherwise, how could there be today's Xufu and today's southern Yunnan?"
?How come there are the Yunnan-Burma Trade Road and the Yunnan-Vietnam Trade Road, which will never allow the central government to get even half of their hands? How can there be secret arrangements in North America, Australia, and Southeast Asia?
"He's just born at the wrong time! Fortunately, it's a good thing that this kid is still self-aware. Ten years of hard work has finally made him mature, and he can take the overall situation into consideration, look forward and backward, and know that things can't be done.
, immediately changed his course, and gained a reputation as a man who served the country and the people. He could be called a semi-hero. How could he have the talent to govern the world as Brother Qi said? He could only be a great warlord in this life.
."
Lao Shoudao's eyes were red, and he did not miss the opportunity to hurt An Yi. In fact, he was more disappointed than Jiang Yunshan and Qi Shengqing. It was just that he had been in the world a lot and his scheming was hidden and hidden.
Jiang Yunshan sighed again: "Forget it, this is fine, this is fine! If Chairman Chiang really dies in Xi'an, I don't know how many compatriots will be affected by it. The country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed. It is still a light thing... Let's not talk about it, drink!
After working for more than ten days, it’s time to get drunk before resting. Come on, let us brothers have another drink!”
The three glasses collided again, and the strong aroma of wine mixed with rich complex emotions spread everywhere.
...
Another night passed, and the early morning fog still lingered. Citizens who got up early in Nanjing suddenly discovered that the number of patrol officers and soldiers in the city had decreased significantly. All the military vehicles patrolling the streets with machine guns disappeared, leaving only the garrison and police on duty.
At eight o'clock in the morning, most of the fighter planes at Nanjing Airport were missing. The Southwest Air Force's fighter planes had disappeared without a trace, leaving only two military transport planes parked quietly on the tarmac.
A convoy of five military off-road vehicles slowly entered the airport, and stopped in front of the transport plane amid the salutes of the garrison officers and soldiers.
An Yi and more than ten An Jiajun generals took the lead and got out of the car. The last three beauties who got out were An Yi's beloved wife Ou Chuer, Feng Jieyun and sister Gong Qian.
Ye Cheng, Gu Changfeng and other generals of the Anjia Army finished bidding farewell to An Yi. They looked at Ou Chu'er and the three people who were reluctantly surrounding An Yi with smiles. They all boarded the special plane first knowingly.
An Yi sent his two wives and Gong Qian to the gangway and looked apologetically at this and that: "I'm sorry, I can't go back yet. After I finish arranging things in North China, I will ask the committee member
I'm going home for a break. I haven't been with the children for such a long time, and I always feel sorry for them."
"Brother Yi, please don't say such things. We all understand what you are doing and support you from the bottom of our hearts! Don't worry at home." Chu'er whispered.
Feng Jieyun looked at An Yi reluctantly and said nothing. Gong Qian sighed slightly and said in a low voice: "It's okay if you go back to Baoding and provide help in times of need. There is no need to add any icing on the cake. Otherwise, it might be suspected of asking for credit. Success is achieved."
Retreating can be beneficial
Unexpected effects, I believe the committee member and his wife will understand your loyalty. As for southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan, don’t worry too much. With us here, as well as Yang Bin, Ye Cheng, Xia Jian and other like-minded brothers, we will definitely be able to
To share your worries."
An Yi nodded gratefully: "I understand... you guys can board the plane, don't keep the brothers waiting too long. Yun'er, a new book is out, please remember to bring me a copy."
"Well! Brother Yi, take care of yourself and rest more!"
...
An Yi sent away his brothers and three beloved wives, bid farewell to Zhao Rui, Chen Yu, Qu Muchen, Tu Zhirong and other generals, boarded his special plane with a melancholy expression, and flew quietly to Baoding in the ice and snow.
