    Chapter 372: Confused about the Xi¡¯an Incident

    But Commander Yan's next performance made Tang Qiuli laugh and cry. He was so whimsical that he even proposed to send Chairman Chiang to Taiyuan. He wanted to be a modern version of Han Xian Emperor and Cao Cao, "holding the emperor hostage to control the princes", and he had a trump card.  , all-inclusive.

    He thinks that others are idiots and idiots. Although Zhang and Yang are not as cunning as him, they can make clouds and rain with their hands, but even elementary school students understand such a simple truth. I really don't know if they are too smart or too stupid.

    Tang Qiuli shook his head. By chance, Mei Ting came in and looked at him very strangely. Tang Qiuli told Mei Ting Yan Xishan's plan. Mei Ting also smiled. She was very satisfied with her hard work.  The summarized information allowed Tang Qiuli to clearly grasp the current situation.

    Tang Qiuli saw Mei Ting holding a large stack of files and asked her if she had any information about the Japanese army. Mei Ting shook her head. Tang Qiuli felt relieved. As long as the Japanese did not interfere, the Xi'an Incident would still follow the course of history.  , continue to develop, and have inevitable results.

    Mei Ting put down the file, but did not leave immediately. She seemed hesitant to speak. Tang Qiuli was surprised. Mei Ting thought for a moment and reminded him tactfully that powerful local factions from all over the country expressed their opinions and opinions on the Xi'an Incident.  Show attitude.

    As the number one figure in the Ping-Tianjin area, the newly-appointed alternate member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Campaign, he has remained silent until now. Isn¡¯t it inappropriate?

    Tang Qiuli was very happy that Mei Ting was thinking of him in this regard. This girl had the potential to enter politics, but in the current situation, it was better to say than to do it. He only said to Mei Ting: "Silence is worse than sound at this time." This is Tang Qiuli. Qiu Li's current strategy.

    In fact, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng sent a telegram to Tang Qiuli at around nine o'clock in the morning on December 12, the day the Xi'an Incident broke out, explaining in detail the entire process and results of the incident.

    Apart from Zhang Yang and Chairman Chiang, I am afraid he is the first person in China to know about this earth-shattering event, which also proves his unusual relationship with Zhang Yang.

    In the telegram, Zhang Yang invited him to go to Xi'an to discuss the aftermath of the Xi'an Incident, but he declined politely on the pretext that the Japanese troops in North China had abnormal movements and might have a new conspiracy. Probably Zhang and Yang,  I also understood the pressure he was facing and didn¡¯t force himself any further.

    Looking at Tang Qiuli's incomprehensible look, Mei Ting suddenly flashed her big eyes, gave him a smile as charming as a lily blooming, and walked away with a vague understanding. However, she believed that she was the most outstanding person in the world.  A man will handle this matter perfectly in the most appropriate way.

    Mei Ting's smile almost took away Tang Qiuli's soul. He held his chin with his hand and looked at Mei Ting's plump and graceful back, round hips, rhythmic rhythm, and slender waist with great interest.  The limbs formed a moving curve, which seemed to remind him of something, by the way, he had not had sex for several days.

    On December 16, according to intelligence, the main force of the Central Army, which had been stranded in the Lingbao and Lushi areas of Henan, suddenly split into two groups and approached the Shangluo and Tongguan areas in Shaanxi Province. The vanguard of the North Army had already entered.  When they arrived near Luling Pass, judging from their marching direction, they had the intention to capture Tong Pass.

    Feng Jiwu, commander of the corps going south and chief of staff of the **Division, called to ask for instructions on how to deal with the current situation. Should the dangerous terrain of Luling Pass be used to prevent the Central Army's attempt to seize Tongguan?

    Tang Qiuli understood that within four days since the Xi'an Incident broke out, 300,000 Central Army troops had been stranded in place without any action and seemed at a loss.

    Now, the sudden action must be from a powerful figure in Nanjing who gave the order to the troops. This person can only be the Minister of Military and Political Affairs He Yingqin, and he is the only one with this authority.

    Fortunately, after attending the Luoyang Military Conference, He Yingqin, who followed Chairman Chiang Kai-shek to Xi'an, took a plane back to Nanjing on the morning of December 11 because he had important matters to deal with. The director of the Military Command Bureau was also on the same plane.  Dai Li Dai boss.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    The parties involved in the Xi'an Incident, as well as later historians, are also quite puzzled. There are various versions circulated among the people, but in the final analysis, the conclusion given can only be described as a fluke.

    Tang Qiuli sent a telegram to Feng Jiwu, asking him to contact the commanders of the Central Army in the north and south to communicate with the ** Division's radio station, and told them that Tang Qiuli, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Bandit Suppression Headquarters, wanted to communicate with them  Telegraph.

    Chairman Chiang, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression General, was detained, and the other deputy commander-in-chief Chen Cheng and the former enemy commander-in-chief Wei Lihuang were detained. They all lost their personal freedom. Now, the entireThere is only one deputy commander-in-chief Tang Qiuli left. Now, he will use this identity to issue orders to the two armies of the Central Army.

    Soon, Feng Jiwu forwarded the radio call signs of two Central Army units. Tang Qiuli dictated it and Mei Ting recorded it, and issued a stern order to all units of the Central Army.

    "Now, the situation in Xi'an is unclear. Due to the sudden incident and sudden changes, the Chairman and all the officers have become the hostages of Zhang and Yang. We are now negotiating with many parties to find a safe solution, all in order to protect the personal safety of the Chairman.  First priority.¡±

    "As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression General, I order all units under the Northwest Suppression General to return to their original positions immediately. No military operations are allowed without my order, so as not to anger Zhang Yang's command and be detrimental to the chairman of the committee."

    "If any unit acts without authorization, it will be regarded as disobedience to military orders and rebels, intending to use Zhang Yang's hand to murder the Chairman. The troops of our North China ** Division will immediately launch a fierce attack on the unit until it is completely annihilated. We reiterate that  Once again, any orders other than mine are deemed invalid and have no authority to command the troops of the Northwest Suppression General. The signature is Tang Qiuli, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest Suppression General."

    Tang Qiuli¡¯s words were quite strong. He had more than 80,000 troops behind him, so he was naturally confident. In addition, his words were justified, so he was confident.

    Sooner or later, this order will be passed into the hands of Chairman Chiang. Every word is for the safety of Chairman Chiang. The old man is in the hands of others, and you are marching into Xi'an with open arms. Are you going to save people or harm people?

    Of course, Chairman Chiang knew the meaning of the question very well. He was so happy and grateful that Tang Qiuli took the lead in one fell swoop. This was more effective than issuing a hundred statements. Instead of saying something without practical meaning.  , it is better to do something useful to Chairman Chiang in a down-to-earth manner. This is the move Tang Qiuli made.

    After the order was sent, a reply was received soon after. Both commanders of the Central Army expressed their obedience to Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tang's order and the troops had begun to retreat. However, in their telegrams, they also expressed embarrassment and marched into the army.  Xi'an's order was issued by He Yingqin in his capacity as Minister of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government.

    I hope Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tang will explain something in front of Minister He to avoid the embarrassment for those of them who are subordinates. Tang Qiuli fully agreed. At this time, not taking responsibility for the subordinate commanders would be mentally retarded and mentally retarded, forcing them to  Follow He Yingqin and run.

    With the retreat of the Central Army troops that were advancing near Xi'an, the tension in Xi'an was relieved. The Northeastern Army and the 17th Route Army troops who were waiting for the attack, including Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, breathed a sigh of relief.

    Neither of them had any confidence in their hearts. If they really fought, it would be a head-to-head battle. With such disparity in strength, even the Northeastern Army and the 17th Route Army would not be able to stop the attack of the 300,000-strong Central Army. Commissar Chiang  I'm afraid there will be many variables whether to kill or to stay. There is absolutely no room for negotiation or change in the Xi'an Incident. This is inconsistent with the original intention of the two people.

    Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang also knew that around Xi'an, there were troops from Tang Qiuli's North China Army Division, with a strength of no less than 80,000. However, they were not worried. On the contrary, they were relieved that Qiu Li's brother's troops were in the Central Army.  By acting as a buffer between China and Xi'an, the aftermath of the Xi'an Incident can be dealt with much more calmly.

    In fact, after detaining Chairman Chiang, what should be the next step? What should we do?  Zhang and Yang are not confident, and they are still very vague about the specific direction of Xi'an's next step.

    On the night of December 11, when Zhang Xueliang announced the "Soldier Remonstrance" action plan, his senior officers asked him, what would be the next step after arresting Jiang?  Zhang Xueliang's answer was to arrest him first. We would support him as our leader only if he promised to resist Japan. As for the extent of his promise, we really had no idea how far he would go.

    Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng also ordered their trusted civilian officers to organize a design committee to study all political issues. In fact, they wanted to listen to everyone's opinions and ordered their trusted senior military officers to form a staff group to take charge of military issues.  , In fact, Zhang Yang was already ready to fight the Central Army.

    During the discussion of the design committee, there were endless debates. There were serious differences of opinion. Some people had extreme opinions and advocated killing Chairman Chiang. Without him to control the Central Army, the Northeast Army could successfully return to its hometown to fight the Japanese. It would be better than being trapped here.  gas.

    At that time, the mainstream thinking in Xi'an was to kill Chairman Chiang. The vast majority of people believed that this was the logical outcome. The design committee had consulted opinions from all walks of life and the military in Xi'an. The result was that most of those who advocated killing Chiang were  most.

    Some people advocated killing people with borrowed knives and giving Chairman Chiang to the Red Army. Chiang fought with the Red Army for nearly ten years and killed many ***. The two sides can be said to have a blood feud.  In the hands of the Red Army, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.In this way, without a drop of blood on our hands, we achieved our goal and made the Red Army grateful, killing two birds with one stone.

    Some people believe that as long as Chairman Chiang agrees to resist Japan, he can be sent back to Nanjing. As for the specific terms, they cannot come up with a complete political proposition, just an idea.

    There are various opinions. Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng are not sure in their minds. Chairman Chiang cannot be killed or released now. They found that the ending of the Xi'an Incident is more difficult than the beginning!
