Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 369: The Gunshots at Huaqingchi in the Xi'an Incident

Tang Qiuli, who knows the history, may be more nervous than the parties involved, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. After all, Zhang and Yang only have ideas now and have not yet put them into action, which is called premeditation.

The other protagonist of the incident, Chairman Chiang, was unaware of the upcoming changes and was still planning the great cause of attacking the Shaanxi-Gansu base area in Xi'an. He did not feel at all that the danger was approaching little by little.

Of course, Tang Qiuli couldn't be stupid enough to go to Xi'an and tell Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, "Run and leave Xi'an quickly. Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng are going to attack you!" That's not asking for trouble. Even if they don't hit you afterwards,

The accomplices are also placed in a separate book and listed as untrustworthy people.

Not only was he not happy with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, but he also forged a deep feud with Zhang Yang, and was accused of betraying his friends for glory. Only those with a head full of water would do such a foolish thing.

Tang Qiuli waited anxiously for the results. He was afraid that other changes would occur that would affect the occurrence of history. The touching feeling of witnessing that moment of history made Tang Qiuli's eyes shine, full of energy, and in an extreme state these days.

state of excitement.

Mei Ting also felt strange. Could it be that Qiu Li had taken some medicine? For several nights in a row, Mei Ting couldn't bear it anymore. Her muscles ached all over her body, her vagina was slightly red and swollen, and her slim waist felt like it was about to break. That was Tang Qiu.

A masterpiece of strong embrace at the most difficult time.

Tang Qiuli was very demanding and would not give up without doing more than ten times every night. Mei Ting's pale face showed a trace of exhaustion, with clear black and white, and her beautiful big eyes were also covered with dark circles, which was obvious.

It is a sign of excessive indulgence.

The elder sisters from other departments who were familiar with Mei Ting had kindly reminded her in private that she should pay attention to her health and that she was still young. Mei Ting could only smile bitterly in response. It was Tang Qiuli who refused to let her go, and she couldn't bear to refuse.

.

The troops deployed by Tang Qiuli all arrived at their designated positions on December 8. This move won great praise from Generalissimo Chiang, who also informed all participating troops that the troops of the North China Division could strictly follow the military deployment of the Luoyang Conference.

, dispatching troops on time is commendable and should be followed by all generals in the army.

Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng also jointly sent a telegram to Tang Qiuli, expressing their sincere gratitude to Qiu Li for taking practical actions to support them. However, Yan Xishan, on the other hand, talked nicely at the dinner table but did not take any practical actions.

Chairman Chiang and Zhang Yang both regard Tang Qiuli's mobilization of troops as actual support for them. However, only Tang Qiuli knows the true intention best. This way of reaping benefits for both sides should not be regarded as speculation. He has no position as a human being.

, it can only be a strategy to follow the trend and move with the camera.

On December 9th, another major event occurred in Xi'an. More than 10,000 students, in order to commemorate the first anniversary of the "December 9th" Peking student anti-Japanese movement, one month after the "December 18th" incident in Xi'an, in northwest China

Under the organization and planning of the special branch, a massive demonstration was held in Xi'an City, demanding an end to the civil war, unity in the resistance against Japan, and the 118th Incident never to be repeated again.

It must be said that **'s move has profound meaning. At this time, the situation in Xi'an is chaotic and complicated, like a powder keg, with a tendency to explode. At this time, **'s purpose of organizing student protests is self-evident.

It was to put pressure on Chairman Chiang in Xi'an to gain political points for himself, and to hint to Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng that the masses were on their side, which was equivalent to cheering up Zhang and Yang.

When the student teams were gathering at the designated place one after another, the intelligence and control unit of the central system in Xi'an made another mistake. An agent of the Ministry of Finance's Shaanxi Tax Police Corps actually shot and wounded a twelve-year-old.

Elementary school students.

Children are inherently weak and must be cared for. The agents of the tax police corps are so ignorant of the overall situation and do such things that violate taboos and provoke public anger in full view of the public. I really don’t know how Song Ziwen, the eldest son of the Song Dynasty, usually teaches these things.

All my subordinates use mediocrity and idiots who harm the country and the people.

This incident angered the students even more. In the hearts of the students who were already in a state of anger, an explosion of flames was suddenly ignited. In addition, the government made a big fuss about this incident and added fuel to the flames. The angry students

, unable to suppress the flames of anger, the whole team rushed out of Zhongshan Gate and marched towards Huaqing Pool to petition Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

When Generalissimo Chiang learned about this incident, he was furious. He could see at a glance that this was an incident planned by the Communist Party by taking advantage of fanatical students. The purpose was to use public opinion to force him to give up his plan to invade and suppress the Shaanxi-Gansu base area, and to

**Earn your own breathing space.

Chairman Chiang's eyesight is not to be said to be unsightly. He immediately saw the omnipresent hand behind the incident. This was a trick used by the Communist Party. This incident touched the most sensitive nerve in his heart, and it was also his arrogance.

It is a reflection of personality and overwhelming self-confidence.

If this matter is handled in a low-key and cold manner, in line with public opinion, or by giving oneself time to prepare, the Xi'an Incident will most likely not break out. In Chairman Chiang's view, his 300,000 troops are around Shaanxi.

And Tang Qiuli's 60,000-strong army was very close to Xi'an.

However, he didn't pay attention to look around. How many weapons did he have on hand in Xi'an? How many guns did he have in his hand?

Furious, Chairman Chiang personally called Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng and ordered them to mobilize troops and use force to stop the student rebellion. He also said: "Students are ignorant and have been bewitched by ***. They should use

Severe measures, including killing without mercy, will make these hot-headed students sober up and stop being fooled by ***. Your performance, Zhang Hanqing, is your performance to the country."

Zhang Xueliang put down the phone and hurriedly drove to Huaqing Pool. He stopped the petitioning student team and tried to dissuade them, saying that if they went to see Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, they would be in danger of bleeding and losing their lives.

After hearing what Zhang Xueliang said, a former *** student of Northeastern University rushed to Zhang Xueliang and said impassionedly: "General Zhang, it has been five years since Northeast China fell. We have no home to return to. Do you still have the heart to fight a civil war? We

We are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, and are willing to die to save our lives!"

After that, he burst into tears, and his emotions infected everyone. More than 10,000 people burst into tears. The sound of grief shook the earth and made the mountains and rivers pale and the yellow water rippled.

Zhang Xueliang wiped away the tears on his face and said loudly to the students: "Students, my heart is with you. Please go back. I will answer your requests with facts within a week!"

The team of students finally retreated, and Zhang Xueliang stood like a sculpture on the loess ground. Perhaps it was at this moment that he made his final decision.

A few years after the Xi'an Incident broke out, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was at its most critical juncture. Careful people discovered that the former Northeastern University student who made such impassioned speeches appeared in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army and held a considerable position.

position.

Everyone smiled tacitly, marveling at the extremely superb and ingenious tactics used by the Communist Party in political struggles, and vaguely felt that this party, which is now in a corner, is afraid that it will conquer the world.

At midnight on December 12, Zhang Xueliang summoned his trusted officers and announced his determination and action plan to implement the "military remonstrance". This move received unanimous support from all officers, and he expressed his willingness to follow the young marshal regardless of personal honor or loss.

Everyone cheered and cheered, saying that this time they felt like they had been holding in their hearts for a long time.

Subsequently, Zhang Xueliang led a large number of military officers to Xincheng Building, another residence of Yang Hucheng, and met with him to form a temporary joint command headquarters to direct the operation together with Yang Hucheng.

Huaqing Pool is located at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain in Lintong, about 30 kilometers east of Xi'an. The hot springs are gurgling and the water quality is excellent. Because Yang Yuhuan bathed here many times, he left many fragrant legends and became famous at home and abroad. It was a memorable period for Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

The love story has become a legend through the ages, and it became widely circulated with Bai Juyi's "Palace of Eternal Life".

This is a quiet and elegant place. It is a place frequented by dignitaries. There is absolutely no noise and chaos, and ordinary people have no chance to see it.

Tonight is no exception. There is a half moon, few stars in the sky, and the strong north wind in the winter night of the Loess Plateau blows here. The rough and coldness is softened by the hot spring water, and turns into a gentle breeze. Carefully, as if afraid of waking up.

People's sweet dreams.

After sleeping in Huaqing Pool and sleeping in Wujian Pavilion, there is only the gurgling hot spring water, which has flowed tirelessly day and night for thousands of years. There is silence everywhere, with only the occasional lights sparsely dotting the night sky, and the people who are loyal to their duties.

The guards were patrolling back and forth, but they were doing their usual routine.

At five o'clock in the morning, the morning star in the east was just about to rise. It was just when people were sleeping soundly. The guards' steps were already tired and they could not hide their deep sleepiness.

A harsh sound of brakes sounded outside the Huaqing Pool, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps. Zhang Xueliang's guard chiefs, Sun Mingjiu and Bai Fengxiang, led the Northeast Army's most elite guard battalion of more than 800 people, rushed into the Huaqing Pool, and headed directly towards the Huaqing Pool.

He rushed towards the five-room pavilion where Chairman Chiang was staying.

The unprepared Chairman's guard troops hurriedly responded to the battle. In the dim light of dawn, bullets flew screaming and hit the rocks on the rockery, sending up bits of dust and sparks. The gunshots were loud, breaking the tranquility and tranquility of Huaqing Pool before dawn.

tranquil.

The agents of the Generalissimo's Guards, who were already prepared for the numerous opponents of the soldiers of the Northeastern Army Guard Battalion, screamed and fell to the ground. However, these guards who were loyal to Chairman Chiang resisted desperately until the battle came to an end.

The last person.

Afterwards, an inventory was carried out, and it was found that none of the forty-eight guards of the Chairman's Guards survived. Their bodies were scattered in every corner around the five-room pavilion, and their guns were empty. They died after fighting until the last bullet was used up.

After a fierce battle, Sun Mingjiu and Bai Fengxiang led the soldiers and rushed into Chairman Chiang's bedroom. The room was empty. The quilt on the bed was still warm. Chairman Chiang's clothes, shoes, hats and other items remained intact.

Chairman Chiang is missing.

Sun Mingjiu immediately led people up the mountain to search, and found Chairman Chiang among the grass behind a big rock.

The night was cold and windy, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, wearing only trousers and a robe, and bare feet, was shivering, his whole body was shaking, and he could not speak smoothly.

The soldiers of the Northeast Army swarmed up and carried Chairman Chiang down the mountain, and then drove him by car to the Xi'an Incident Provisional Headquarters, Xincheng Building, where Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were waiting for Chairman Chiang.

On an ordinary day, but remembered by history, the Xi'an Incident, also known as the Double Twelve Incident, finally broke out in the ancient capital of Xi'an.

As a result, the history of the Chinese nation opened a new page, and with the outbreak of the Xi'an Incident, it went in another direction.
