readx;
Yangyin County is located in the east of the Ganguanzhong Plain, is the junction of Shaanxi, Henan, Jinlan Province is located in the Yin of Huashan in Xiyue and got its name, since the Han Gaozu began the name of Huayin to today. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Huayin has "three Qin main roads, eight provinces thoroughfare" since ancient times. It is said that it is the only place for the Central Plains to pass through the northwest, and after the Longhai Railway connects Xi'an through Huayin, the strategic location of Huayin is more important.
Xiyue Huashan is famous all over the world for its majestic momentum and majestic posture, the Xiyue Temple in the north of the foot of the mountain is named ancient and modern with its majestic architecture, long history and rich cultural relics, it has gone through two thousand years of vicissitudes of wind and wind since the establishment of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and has been the palace of the successive emperors to worship the god of Xiyue.
Nowadays, it has become one of the important camps of Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the Northwest Army, and another "Jiling Palace" that was erected at the beginning of the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is at the foot of Huashan Mountain to the south of Xiyue Temple. Nowadays, Feng Yuxiang, who likes to read and carry Bibles with him, is a place to plow and read, hold military meetings or hold larger events, usually in the Xiyue Temple located next to the traffic artery from Chang'an to Luoyang, rather than in the quiet but more remote Jiling Palace.
On the road from Huangguan to Huayin, the central delegation, in addition to the officers and soldiers of the northwest who were on strict guard on both sides of the road outside the car window, from time to time you could see groups of people gathered in the corners of the fields or under the shade of trees in the dry caves, talking and laughing, and at a cursory glance they seemed to be no different from ordinary peasants, but when you think about it carefully, you feel strange that these peasants are tall and strong, and there are few people over forty years old, not even women, let alone innocent children. All the crops in the fields are dead, and the water in the ditches has dried up, what are these young farmers doing in the corners of the fields at this moment? How could they have such a relaxed smile in the face of cracked land with no harvest?
The convoy arrived at Xiyue Temple, He Yaozu, An Yi and others entered the first gate from the main gate in the warm company of the owners, listened to the courteous introduction of the reception generals around An Yi only knew that Xiyue Temple was dedicated to the Xiyue Emperor Huashan God, only five kilometers away from the towering Huashan that can be seen in the distance, the temple was built in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, sitting in the north and facing south, the temple gate is facing Huashan, from north to south on the central axis in order to arrange the Lingmen, Wufeng Tower, Jixing Gate, Jincheng Gate, Tibetan Spirit Palace, Sleeping Palace, Yu, Wanshou Pavilion. The whole building presents the pattern of low in front and high in the back, in which everyone is about to go to the place where the meeting is held, the Wufeng Tower is more than 20 meters high, climb the building to look at Huashan, and the five peaks are vivid. The main hall is on the verge of the spirit hall for the glazed tile single eaves rest on the top of the mountain, the carved railing paints the building, the cloister is deep, the emperors of the past dynasties worship Huashan and live here more, the hall still hangs the Kangxi, Daoguang, Cixi inscribed "Jin Tian Zhaoduan. Small "fairy clouds." Plaques, wide courtyards are luxuriant, the mountains and stones are solemn and elegant, revealing the royal style everywhere.
With the explanation of the director of the camp, the crowd exclaimed, the praise bursts, the faces of the generals of the Northwest Army were full of pride, Feng Yuxiang, who was still wearing a coarse cloth soldier's uniform and stepping on straw shoes, was still chanting poems in high spirits, attracting a round of applause and applause, the reporters were generously allowed to take pictures at will, and several newspaper reporters from Xi'an were also fortunate to conduct a close casual interview with Feng Yuxiang, who was in a good mood, and everyone was full of interest, walking slowly in the ancient palace An Yi had a polite smile on his face, But he was very uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that at this moment, every minute and every second, one after another disaster victims died in the roadside wilderness due to plague or hunger, An Yi was even more full of emotion and helplessness.
Entering the conference hall, He Yaozu and An Yi and other five people were invited into the inner hall to serve tea and rest, negotiated with Feng Yu, General Xiang and his three assistants for a while, unified the official caliber, and then rushed out to the newly decorated main hall, and walked to the center rostrum in the midst of bursts of applause and the sound of cameras "crackling" and the fog of the crowd, and the important press conference also began.
General Zhang Zhijiang, chief of staff of the Northwest Army and director of the Northwest Pacification Office, presided over the meeting, at which he first gave a lecture on the current excellent revolutionary situation, and then said that all the officers and men of the Northwest Army and the governments at all levels in the northwest provinces fully support the leadership of the central authorities. In response to the call of the central authorities, the final voice changed and mentioned the plague and drought in the northwest with great concern. He called on the military and people in the northwest to unite and overcome difficulties with a fearless revolutionary spirit, and called on the central government and the people of all parts of the country to provide generous assistance so that the people in the northwest could tide over the difficulties.
Next, He Yaozu, the special envoy of the Central Committee, delivered a speech on behalf of the Central Committee and Commander-in-Chief Chiang, once again expressing his full trust in the loyalty of the Northwest Army and the Northwest provinces to the Central Committee, giving high praise to General Feng Yuxiang and the governments at all levels in the Northwest, and finally expressing concern about the disasters facing the Northwest and the Central Plains, and promising that after returning to Nanjing, he would jointly request the Central Government to urgently convene a disaster relief meeting with General An Yi, Director Zhao, and others.
Finally, it was Feng Yuxiang's turn to make a concluding speech. His language style is still so harmonious and intimate. Speaking of heaviness, it also reflects a kind of indomitable spirit and the unique style of old spicy wit, which attracted bursts of laughter and applause from the participants and reporters.
Ai Yi, who was sitting on the right side of He Yaozu, sat majestically and kept his mouth closed, his expression calm but not showing a trace of a smile.
Looking at the more than 200 reporters and officials and generals at all levels in the audience, An Yi felt very uncomfortable, although Feng Yuxiang's speech was all-encompassing. But there is no focus on the content, which is very vague, at first glance it seems that everything has been said, but when I think about it carefully, I don't get anything from Yi Cai.
Until Feng Yuxiang and He Yaozu answered four or five reporters' questions respectively, An Yi still didn't say half a word.
"General An, as we all know, you stood up in the flood disaster in northern Shandong last year and vigorously appealed for disaster relief, and generously assisted a large amount of clothing and rice grain in the disaster area, and successively accepted 50,000 victims from northern and southern Shandong to live and work in the old Nanchang Industrial Zone. Mobilize all forces to build houses and arrange employment for the victims of the disaster free of charge, for this reason General An alone has donated more than 3 million yuan, winning praise from the whole country and the love of the people. Fourth, let the famine and plague spread, how do you think General An will call on Cang Guofu again for this reason, "wither?" ”
"Ta Kung Pao" reporter Qin Zhimo got the opportunity to ask An Yi a question.
An Yi nodded slightly to this journalist friend who had known him in Beijing before his assassination last year, stood up and gave everyone a military salute and sat down again:
"At present, the most urgent thing is to control the spread of plague and fatigue, and I have already called Nanchang yesterday and asked the logistics department of the Nanchang non-commissioned officer training base to immediately raise 500,000 yuan of medicines and do everything possible to transport them to the disaster area as soon as possible. On the way to Huangguan, all my colleagues in the central delegation have seen the early disasters in Baoling, Guxian, Tongyu and other counties and towns along the way, which is indeed shocking, extremely worrying and sad, and I have a case to help the victims of the disaster in Henan, which will be implemented after discussion at the central meeting.
If the central government has difficulty in raising funds for a while, I am willing to take the lead in donating 3,000 tons of grain and a batch of medicines to the villagers in Henan, and ask the Jiangnan Medical College to send two 100-person medical teams to go deep into the disaster area to prevent and treat diseases.
As for northern Shaanxi, it seems that the situation is much better than Henan, from entering Huangguan to Huayin on the way. I did not see the fleeing people, except for the drought, there was no sign of disaster, only saw our perseverance Sanqin villagers working hard in the fields, I am convinced that the hard-working and kind people of the Northwest under the wise leadership of General Feng Huanzhang, under the unity and mutual assistance of the officers and men of the Northwest Army, will be able to overcome difficulties and win victory! ”
An Yi's words stunned the audience, and after a short silence, a noisy rebuttal and justification sounded, and after a while, almost everyone's complicated eyes focused on Feng Yuxiang's face.
Feng Yuxiang smiled, nodded frequently, and glanced at An Sang meaningfully.
The scheming Zhang Zhijiang was very anxious and annoyed, but An Yi's words couldn't find any fault, he touted the Northwest Army to the sky, and he boasted about his abilities.
secretly pushes people to an extremely passive position.
Zhang Zhijiang didn't expect An Yi to be so cunning. Unexpectedly, in front of everyone, he praised and secretly belittled, and damaged the old commander and the Northwest Army, but it made people unable to refute and be angry, because on the way to welcome the central delegation to Huayin, Zhang Zhijiang specially arranged for the soldiers to strictly guard along the way. Thousands of displaced people fleeing famine east and south were driven off main roads, and bodies on both sides of the road were dragged away and buried. Then he quietly ordered the officers and men stationed along the road to change into the clothes of ordinary people, carry hoes and rakes, and scatter them in the fields beside the road, so as to prevent the dozens of Chinese and foreign reporters who came to cover the news with the central delegation from making negative reports.
Zhang Zhijiang and others had already made plans for this. It only takes ten days and a half to cover up, and when the war burns out, he can push the responsibility on himself, but now An Yi suddenly came to this hand. It is tantamount to breaking the peace that has been painstakingly maintained. It is very likely that this will prematurely provoke an already very acute contradiction, so that the people of the Northwest will put all the blame for not receiving assistance on the Northwest Army. The people's resentment, which is increasingly attacking the limit of patience, exploded in advance.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the female reporter of "Huaxi Business Daily" stood up excitedly and asked An Yi loudly:
"May I ask General An, why do you only extend a helping hand to the disaster-stricken areas in Henan, and ignore the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, which are ten or even a hundred times more severely affected than Henan? Why is the general so biased? ”
The venue was quiet again, and under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, An Yi looked very shocked, stood up and looked at Nuji blankly for a while. Turning to the embarrassed Feng Yuxiang and the pale-faced Zhang Zhijiang, he once again looked at the female reporter with a small face and was flushed with annoyance, and asked in surprise: "May I ask what is your surname?"
The little woman Wu Yingyi, a native of Yanliang County, works for "Huaxi Business Daily". Wu Yingyi's face turned even redder under An Yi's gaze, and she only felt her heart pounding.
An Yi nodded politely and said solemnly: "It's a pleasure to meet Miss Wu, it's just that before this, I and the central delegation only knew that the plague broke out in the border area of northern Shaanxi and Gansu and Ningxia, and we didn't know how serious the disaster was.
The day before yesterday, we were accompanied by the central delegation to Huangguan in the west, as well as two trains of rice for disaster relief that the central government had painstakingly and urgently allocated, but they were intercepted by officers and men from the northwest in Zhengzhou and Luoyang.
When General Huanzhang heard our briefing, he immediately called General Fuqu of Henan and ordered him to immediately send two trains of relief grain to Shaanxi. If there is a famine like Henan in Shaanxi, the situation will be too bad, I really didn't expect it" Here, I solemnly apologize to Miss Wu, and apologize to the parents and villagers affected by the disaster in Shaanxi and the northwest provinces!
I would like to take advantage of today's press conference to promise to the fathers and villagers in the disaster-stricken areas in the northwest that I will go all out and make loud appeals, and at the same time do my best to raise funds to buy food and medicines and send them over, and urgently negotiate with the garrisons in Jiangxi, Hubei, and Hunan, which are in a better situation, and do everything possible to accept the fathers and villagers who have been displaced from the camps!
I am extremely guilty, but my ability is limited, and I can only do this step, please forgive Miss Wu for my mistakes. If you are not there, please forgive General Feng, General Zhang, and the military and civilians in the northwest. ”
The applause and praise rang out, An Yi sat down slowly with a red face, scratched his head and sighed repeatedly, looking extremely painful and sad.
Feng Yuxiang on the rostrum smiled and applauded together. Zhang Zhijiang took the opportunity to stand up and loudly announce the end of the press conference.
