Chapter 948: Time Flies (3)

With the prestige of perfectly handling the "Liangguang Incident," and with the increasing regard for the bald bigwigs who were incomparably active in northern Shaanxi and constantly proposing the "establishment of a united anti-Japanese front," they were more and more emboldened, and transferred the Central Army to the north in order to replace the Northeast Army in Shaanxi to encircle and suppress the Red Party.

On October 22, the bald boss who flew to Xi'an strictly ordered Zhang Shaoshuai to use troops in northern Shaanxi, Zhang did not obey, and put forward a request to stop the civil war and unanimously resist Japan.

On October 29, Zhang flew to Luoyang to celebrate the birthday of the bald headmaster, and again proposed the idea of joint resistance against Japan, but was again rejected, and was told that if he was unwilling to fight, the Central Army would replace the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army.

On November 27, Zhang Zai wrote to the bald principal, asking for a war of resistance, but was rejected again.

On December 2, Zhang Fei arrived in Luoyang to see the bald principal and demanded the release of the "Seven Gentlemen" of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Association. He also reported to the bald boss, saying that his subordinates were unstable and difficult to support, and repeatedly asked the chairman to go to the lecture and the bald boss agreed to go to Xi'an and stay in Qingchi, China.

On December 7, Zhang went to Huaqingchi to meet the bald headmaster, and repeatedly admonished him, demanding that the civil war be stopped and that he should unanimously resist Japan, but he was refused.

On December 10, Zhang met with the bald principal, who was holding a meeting to officially approve the launch of the sixth "encirclement and suppression" plan, and decided to announce the mobilization order on December 12, 1936.

On the evening of December 11, the bald principal invited Zhang, Yang, Jiang Dingwen, Chen Cheng, Zhu Shaoliang and others to attend the dinner. The Central Army was ordered to take over the task of suppressing the Communists from the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army.

On the evening of December 11, Zhang Yang and the others respectively summoned the senior generals of the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army and announced that they would conduct military admonitions in the early morning of December 12.

At 5 o'clock on December 12, the Northeast Army was ordered to Huaqingchi to arrest the bald principal, who jumped out of the bedroom window, broke his back, hid behind a large rock, and was found alive. At the same time, the 17th Route Army detained Chen Cheng, Shao Lizi, Jiang Dingwen, Chen Tiaoyuan, Wei Lihuang, Zhu Shaoliang and other important Kuomintang military and political officials.

On December 12, Zhang and Yang issued a letter to the whole country on "reorganizing the Nanjing government, accommodating all parties and factions, and 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; Immediately convene a National Salvation Conference. "The electrification of the Eight Proposals for National Salvation.

At this point, the Xi'an Incident officially broke out.

Liu Lang didn't go there, just stayed at the regimental headquarters of the independent regiment base. He knew that his uncle was looking for him. And he also knew that although this was not interested in bald heads, his powerful uncle had made the right choice in this critical historical period.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the call from the Sichuan Provincial Chairman's Office to be sent to the regiment headquarters by the communications platoon, and Liu Lang took the call in front of Zhang Ruhao.

Liu Xiang didn't say hello, and directly recounted what happened in Xi'an to Liu Lang, and didn't even ask Liu Lang, just a silence for a while, Liu Lang knew that he was waiting for his opinion to make a final decision.

Liu Lang took a deep breath, was silent for a while, and said into the microphone: "Uncle, your decision is my opinion, and it is the opinion of the military and civilians in Sichuan. ”

Liu Xiang on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, was silent for a while, and did not speak, he probably didn't expect his nephew, who had always had great ideas, to say such a thing, a pair of thick eyebrows wrinkled deeply while a trace of determination flashed on his face, "Okay, I know." ”

Liu Lang knew that although Liu Xiang did not react immediately after learning of the incident in the past time and space, and waited until all parties expressed their positions before calling Zhang and Yang to express their willingness to resolve the dispute peacefully, he also did not want China to lose its leader at this point in time.

It's not that he likes someone very much, but that under the front of the Japanese army, there is no unified China that has accumulated all the strength to resist, and I am afraid that there is no future for China that fights separately.

This time, Liu Lang did not admonish, but Liu Lang knew that his uncle, the lord of a province, could definitely understand what he meant. Liu Lang meant the same as him, that China's top priority at present was to resist Japan, and that all political and selfish interests had to make way for the future of the country and the nation.

After Zhang Ruhao heard the news of the "Xi'an Incident", he was speechless in shock, and then his face showed ecstasy, it was impossible for him not to rejoice, the bald boss, the executioner hated by the Red Party, actually has today? Countless comrades and comrades-in-arms fell in front of him in pools of blood created by the White Terror, and if he was not excited by this, then he would not be a Red Party.

"Kill him, and the Kuomintang can also elect a president and continue to resist Japan." Zhang Ruhao almost roared to express his opinion.

Liu Lang also understands this very well. If he is standing in Zhang Ruhao's position, I am afraid that the first thought is also: kill him. Undoubtedly, Zhang Yang and the two men, who have signed an agreement with the Red Party, are likely to reach the opinion of the vast majority of the Red Party members.

However, regardless of whether the bald man's military talent is inferior or not, there is no doubt that his political talent is extremely outstanding in the current China, and even if he surpasses him, it is not in the Kuomintang Party, but in the Red Party. At least, China's reunification from the name is achieved in his hands.

"You are wrong, kill him, China will be torn apart immediately, and it will be difficult for the central government to give orders to the provinces, and how can China, without unified leadership, resist the army from the Japanese?" Liu Lang shook his head and said diametrically opposite opinions, seeing that Zhang Ruhao was still a little indignant and wanted to object, he said: "It's better for you and me to wait for two days to see what the leaders say." ”

Liu Lang knows that although everyone will punish the bald tycoon's personal Red Party, they will inevitably make the right choice relative to the fate of the country and the nation.

In fact, history has proven that their choice is the most correct.

Sure enough, at noon on December 13, when the Kuomintang held a meeting to decide on the principle and policy of suppressing and appeasing the people, and when General He, a first-class general of the Ministry of Military Affairs, led a large army to attack Xi'an City against the commander-in-chief, the Red Headquarters unexpectedly telegraphed to advocate a peaceful settlement of the dispute and an end to the Chinese civil war.

Warlords everywhere then took a stand.

And this time, with Liu Lang's opinion that he did not provide advice, Liu Xiang did not wait for the 19th, but rushed to the most shrewd Shanxi old man to publish: "First, how can my brother be good after?" Second, what about increasing the strength of the war and reducing the strength of the war of resistance? Third, should we shift the civil war into a foreign war, and the foreign war into a civil war? Fourth, can the brothers ensure that they will not become extremely brutal in the country? …… Please forgive me, brother, and be good at yourself. After sending a telegram urging the two sides to settle the dispute peacefully, Wen sent a telegram to Xi'an: "The civil war will lead to the destruction of the country, and there is no need to say more, we must avoid military contacts and seek a political solution as soon as possible." ”

Warlords in Yunnan, Guangxi, Hunan, Shandong and other places have also telegraphed to express their attitudes, and most of them hope for a peaceful solution.

Liu Lang actually admires these bigwigs of the Republic of China very much, because he knows history, so he did not hesitate to make such a choice, but they all had disputes with the bald bigwigs when they unified China, and they even made the most correct choice that history has proven, I am afraid that at this time they are not only because of the correctness of their political vision! The enormous pressure brought by the Japanese should also be a very important reason, and they do not want to become sinners in the history of the nation.

Of course, there are also those who take the opportunity to expand their own interests, such as someone Han in Shandong, who did not issue a statement, but also sent a coded message, such an unlucky person who is not an unlucky person has become the highest general who was shot with the knowledge of war, it is not surprising. If you want to fish in troubled waters, but you don't have vision, who can blame you?

Under the mediation of all parties, the bald man was forced to accept the proposal of "stopping the civil war and uniting to resist Japan", and was personally escorted back to Nanjing by Zhang Shaoshuai.

The Xi'an Incident finally ended peacefully, and the bald principal also gave up his policy of "keeping peace at home and outside", and the Kuomintang and the Red Party cooperated for the second time to establish an anti-Japanese united front and unite with the outside world.

Finally, a few days before China entered 1937, there was no longer a war at home, and all Chinese turned their eyes to the north of China, where hundreds of thousands of Japanese invaders were eyeing each other.

The Japanese, although not completely ready, but the establishment of the Chinese two-party united front also put pressure on them, and the war must be brought forward.
