Chapter 157: Heart-to-heart
If anyone refuses to listen to dissuasion and tries to get close to the wrongdoing, they will be killed! ”
Meng Shaoyuan's first group had blocked all the peripheral roads that were necessary to enter Nanjing from Shanghai.
Armed.
No one knew what was going on, and no one dared to ask.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense.
A car coming out of the city of Nanjing was stopped.
The driver got out of the car and said that it was the chairman of Hengyuan Company in the car.
"Can't understand people?" Zhao Changle's current appearance is also like a spy: "I said, before the curfew is lifted, you are not allowed to go out or enter!" ”
The rear door opened, and the chairman got out of the car, took out a pack of cigarettes and grinned: "Everyone's hard work, everyone's hard work, my company in Shanghai is really a little urgent......
"Do you really not understand people?" Meng Shaoyuan walked over with a gloomy face.
"Ouch, sir." The chairman had a good look in his eyes, and he could see at a glance that Meng Shaoyuan was in charge of commanding here: "Official business, I don't dare to stop it, everyone is their own people, and my brother-in-law is in the city government......"
"Bang"!
In the night, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
The chairman sat down on the ground.
Damn, the other party really shot.
And it also punctured the tires of the car.
Meng Shaoyuan put away the gun: "Get out!" ”
Seeing that with the support of the driver, the chairman ran away, and Meng Shaoyuan commanded people to move the car aside.
"Who the hell are we waiting for?" Tian Qi leaned in and asked quietly.
Meng Shaoyuan looked to the side: "Madam." ”
"Ma'am?"
"The special car of the lady will return to Nanjing from Shanghai overnight, and we will be responsible for the safety of this section."
"Something's wrong?"
"Don't ask so much."
After waiting anxiously for more than an hour, a convoy came from afar.
When I got closer, something suddenly happened.
The car at the front, turned off and didn't move.
The roads are narrow and can only be passed by one vehicle.
In front and behind, a large number of armed men with weapons immediately jumped out and closely monitored the surroundings.
"There, come here!"
A middle-aged man in a tunic got out of the car that had turned off and waved his hand at Meng Shaoyuan: "The person who called you, help push the car." ”
Yes, there is a gendarmerie nearby, and they themselves have so many men, but the coolies are left to these agents themselves?
Meng Shaoyuan didn't dare to slack off, and while sending someone to push the cart, he went to drive the car parked not far away.
The car arrived, and the stalled car was also pushed to the side of the road.
Meng Shaoyuan got out of the car and hurriedly came to the middle-aged man: "Let's drive our car away." ”
The middle-aged man glanced at him: "The person who wears the hat? ”
Good guy, calling Dai Li's name is not polite at all.
"Yes."
"What's your name?"
"Meng Shaoyuan."
"I remember you, I'll give you back the car."
The convoy roared away again......
In the 25th year of the Republic of China, at 5 o'clock in the morning of December 12, 1936, the "Double 12 Incident" broke out that shocked China and the world.
Dai Li, who was in charge of intelligence work, did not get the definite news from the chairman's wife Song Meiling until the evening of the same day, which was also the news he was most afraid of:
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a mutiny, and the chairman of the committee was detained!
The intelligence agencies in Nanjing and Northwest are in chaos!
That night, Song Meiling rushed back to Nanjing from Shanghai overnight.
In the midst of this, a small detail also happened.
The head of the convoy stalled.
A small spy named Meng Shaoyuan of the Lixing Society, after helping to clear the accident car, lent his car to the captain of the guard of the wife of the commission.
It's an insignificant drop of water in a monstrous wave.
But no one knows what kind of monstrous waves this insignificant drop will set off in the future with the help of this insignificant little thing.
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng are electrified nationwide:
"Reorganize the Nanjing government to accommodate all parties and factions, and be jointly responsible for saving the country; cease all civil wars; the immediate release of the arrested patriotic leaders in Shanghai; the release of all political prisoners in the country; opening up the popular patriotic movement; guarantee all political freedoms of assembly and association of the people; Obey Premier Sun's will; Convene a National Salvation Conference now! ”
At 23:30 on the night of the 12th, the Nanjing government convened a joint meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee and the Central Political Conference, and decided to seize Zhang and Yang from their respective positions and hand them over to the Military Commission for strict handling.
In the end, the meeting decided to use both suppression and appeasement, on the one hand, appointing He Yingqin as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, and on the other hand, appointing Yu Youren as the ambassador of Shaanxi and Gansu Xuanfu.
At 1 a.m. on the 13th.
Most of Meng Shaoyuan's subordinates will go to rest, and the rest of the duty, only he will stay in his office.
The office door was pushed open, and there was not even a knock.
There is only one person who can do this:
Li!
"Director Dai!" Meng Shaoyuan quickly stood up.
"I see...... The lights in your office are on......"
Dai Li's eyes were red, and his voice trembled a little.
This is the same as the Dai Li I saw before, and they are two people at all.
The calm, cold Dai Yunong was gone.
Meng Shaoyuan is completely understandable.
After all, he and the chairman of the committee are both prosperous and lossy, and if something happens to the chairman of the committee, Dai Li's forces will be suppressed and squeezed out by the CC department, and it will really be finished in the future.
Dai Li's face is not someone else, it is Zhang Xueliang. What does Zhang Xueliang dare not do, what can't he do?
But what about him? The person he wants to protect is the chairman of the NPC National Committee, the number one person in China, his own life security, and the life security of the Dai family.
It is not denied that Dai Li's power is indeed monstrous, but he is just a subordinate of the chairman of the committee, a person in charge of intelligence work.
The Double Twelve Incident is not something that people of his level can solve and participate in. He can't control anyone but those agents.
"Director Dai, please be seated."
Meng Shaoyuan said respectfully.
Dai Li sat down on Meng Shaoyuan's office chair: "You also sit, you also sit." Shaoyuan, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet? ”
He also changed the title of "Xiao Meng" to "Shaoyuan".
"Mr. Dai, such a big thing happened, Shao Yuan knew that Mr. Dai must not be able to sleep, so Shao Yuan didn't dare to sleep, waiting for Mr. Dai to summon here."
Meng Shaoyuan also changed his name in passing.
"Director Dai" is a public name in the unit, but the meaning of being called "Mr. Dai" is different.
In the workplace, the difference in title can often tell the person's status in the company.
Lixingsha is essentially a large company.
"You're good, you're good."
Dai Li looked very tired: "There is such a big thing, the wife who should go home to accompany the wife, the little wife who accompanies the little wife, there is no one who is loyal to the country."
You are just a small group leader, but you know that you are sticking to your post here and sharing your worries for me, you are very good, Shaoyuan, I didn't see the wrong person. ”
He said a few times in a row, "You are very good", and it can also be seen that Meng Shaoyuan is important in his mind at this moment.
When a person is lonely and hesitant, it is often when he is weakest and needs someone to confide in.
Even people as strong as Dai Li's are no exception.
And once you have experienced this, the person who listens is often cited as a confidant by the confidant, because the person you trust the most.
There are few exceptions.
"Madame came back with her foreign friend Duanna." Dai Li opened his mouth and said: "After discussion, Madame decided to fly to Xi'an with Duan Na to rescue the commissioner. You say, should I go, or should I not go? ”
Dai Li's heart is being revealed, and he doesn't shy away from anything.
With the occurrence of the Double 12 Incident, the various factions within the government also began to be restless, and at this critical moment, everyone has their own thoughts.
Dai Li is also facing an unprecedented and difficult problem, go ahead, I feel that the risk is too great, and I may lose my life because of it, let's not go, and I can't trust the chairman.
Meng Shaoyuan knew very well that Dai Li would definitely go to Xi'an eventually.
Moreover, before leaving, Dai Li dramatically took two revolvers.
Later, many people said that Dai Li's trip to Xi'an was not really loyal, but a show, but to be honest, with Dai Li's situation at the time, he was not a show, because he had no way out.
Dai Li, known as the king of spies, failed in the intelligence war of the Double 12 Incident and became the target of public criticism.
If something happens to the chairman, the Nanjing side will not let him go.
At that time, many people even suspected that Dai Li and his secret service were in contact with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, and deliberately deceived the chairman of the committee to go to Xi'an.
As the agency in charge of intelligence, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's department were the focus of Dai Li's surveillance at that time, and Dai Li also took the initiative to interact with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's cronies, and laid out a lot of chess pieces.
However, I did not get any news about the military advice in advance.
After the incident, many of the president's descendants and generals pointed the finger at Dai Li, claiming that once the principal encountered an accident, he would twist your head off; And if the chairman of the committee is fine, then the chairman will be the first to attack him when he comes back, and even Dai Li himself is also very ashamed, believing that the failure of the intelligence of the Xi'an incident is the biggest failure since he engaged in spy work.
And once you stay in Nanjing, it seems foolproof, but in fact, you can only wait for death, it is better to go to Xi'an, maybe there will be a turnaround.
In addition, he knew that Zhang Xueliang's wife Yu Fengzhi was the goddaughter of Song Meiling's mother, and Song Ziwen and Zhang Xueliang were good friends, and at least their lives were guaranteed when they walked with these two people.
But at least, Meng Shaoyuan understands better that Dai Li, so far, is still very hesitant about whether to go to Xi'an or not.
"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a moment and then said: "Shaoyuan wants to say a few words from the bottom of my heart, if I say something wrong, please scold Mr. Dai." ”
"Say, here today, you and I can talk to each other, and you can say anything."
"Then Shaoyuan will be bold." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "This mutiny is nothing more than two endings, one is to be in trouble, and the whole country is in chaos. First, if you are commissioned to get out of danger, you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds.
Mr. Dai also has two ways, one is to escape, otherwise, once the commission is in trouble, the first thing some people have to deal with is Mr. Dai.
Mr. Dai's situation at this time is very similar to Wang Zhen in the Ming Dynasty. The change of the civil fort and the arrest of the boss are all flaws in their own work, and they are all targeted by the public.
When the boss had an accident, Wang Zhen chose to run away, and then his head was smashed by the general of the Ming army. If Mr. Dai also had to run away timidly, the result could have been predicted. ”
Dai Li suddenly said: "Meng Shaoyuan, your courage is too big!" ”
