Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 390 Shaanxi Mutiny

The matter was settled like this, and a telegram was sent to Tang Qiuquan. The special operations detachment was responsible for the evacuation from the Northeast. It was easy to talk to his parents. The only thing to do now was to convince his father-in-law, a stubborn old man, that Tang Qiuli should give Mei Ting an idea.

, I went to talk to the old lady. Anyway, I’m not in a hurry to leave. I have plenty of time to properly arrange this matter.

As a newlywed, Tang Qiuli experienced a different family life. Mei Ting completely gave up her identity and was happy to be a happy little wife, allowing Tang Qiuli to enjoy all the happiness and warmth.

The two of them traveled all over the scenic spots and historic sites near Moling, ancient temples in the mountains, and fragments of broken monuments. Everywhere they went, Tang Qiuli would explore it and linger there, expressing her nostalgia for the past. Mei Ting was surprised.

I discovered that my husband has profound attainments in literature and history, and can tell the origins and origins of most ancient monuments, as well as some anecdotes.

The happy and sweet days slipped away quietly like this. After the Xi'an Incident, Tang Qiuli spent the most leisurely and sweet time.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening on February 2, 1937, Tang Qiuli was snuggling with Mei Ting, whispering that they would never finish talking. His wife was already in her twenties, but in front of him, she occasionally

She showed off her childish attitude, flirted, and pretended to be unruly, which made Tang Qiuli's heart flutter all the time.

In the dead of night, a hurried knock on the door woke up the young couple who were immersed in their world. Shan Hu knocked on the door nervously and came in. The military committee called urgently. Tang Qiuli took it and took a look. There were only a few numbers, "Standing inside the Northeastern Army of Shaanxi Province."

Great changes have occurred, the 17th Route Army is in turmoil, and the situation in Xi'an is critical. Please ask Vice Chairman Tang to return to Nanjing at night to discuss important matters with Chairman Chiang."

Tang Qiuli remained silent and stood there for a long time. After all, there was something wrong with the Northeastern Army and the 17th Route Army. Anyway, it just gave him a legitimate intervention and provided a reasonable reason for the ** Division to take over the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army.

It is better for the Route Army to be split up by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. Once a revolutionary military force, it was dissipated in the bloody anti-Japanese battlefield.

The two said goodbye to their parents. The two old men were alarmed when Shan Hu came over in a hurry. Fortunately, the old man knew the mission of soldiers, and the perseverance in his eyes made them feel at ease.

The old lady couldn't help it. Her eldest daughter, who had been separated for five years, had only lived at home for a few days before she was about to leave. She didn't know when she would meet again, and her eyes had already shed tears. Mei Ting also had tears in her eyes.

moist.

Mei Ting looked at Tang Qiuli intently, her hands nervously stirred the corners of her clothes, her eyes were indescribably complicated. Tang Qiuli also vaguely guessed what Mei Ting was thinking, and just thought it was the little girl's green and vague comfort.

He patted Mei Xue's round shoulder and gave her a brotherly smile.

Don't you know that just these few taps made Mei Xue's heart pound like a deer, and she could hardly breathe? The man's majestic breath instantly passed through his clothes, and passed through his whole body like an electric current, and finally returned to his heart.

Sea, my body trembled, and my beautiful big eyes were full of colors.

The night is endless, the dark clouds of winter nights in the south of the Yangtze River cover the sky like ink, and the ancient town of Moling gradually fades away. The once dim lights are also submerged in the night. Only the bright light of the car lights is like two sharp swords, splitting the thick night.

, light the way ahead.

At dawn, a long motorcade drove into the newly awakened Nanjing at lightning speed, startling the early-rising pedestrians and watching the motorcade drive away with anxiety.

In the Military Commission Building of the Nationalist Government, Chairman Chiang and other officials, who had been up all night, could not hide the fatigue on their faces, and were anxiously waiting for Tang Qiuli's arrival. As soon as the car stopped, the Chairman's attendants were already at the gate.

Wait outside.

Seeing the dusty Tang Qiuli, the handsome figure appeared at the door, they were all obviously relieved. No one wanted to deal with the bold Northeast Army, for fear that Chairman Chiang would point him at his head. Now, he is worried

When everyone comes, they all feel a sense of relief.

Chairman Chiang signaled Tang Qiuli to sit down, and the adjutant handed him a top-secret telegram, which was sent overnight by the Xi'an Station of the Military Command, "On the evening of February 2, the young generals of the Northeast Army Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, and Sun Mingjiu

and others suddenly launched a mutiny and shot and killed Wang Yizhe, commander of the 67th Army of the Northeast Army, Xu Fang, director of the General Staff Department of the Northeast Army Headquarters, Song Xueli, deputy director, and Jiang Bin, director of the Communications Department, and several other important personnel."

"Now the city of Xi'an is in chaos. The garrison troops are occupying one side and building barricades. The whole city is under martial law. There are also troops stationed outside. They are continuously entering the city. Sporadic gunshots are still going on when the report is sent. The Northeast Army and the 17th

There were many conflicts between the army troops, and fires were set off in many places in the city, with thick smoke billowing."

"Exploring the reason, we suspect that the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army were dissatisfied with the central government's handling of Zhang and Yang, so they had serious internal disagreements over how to act, leading to a mutiny. The specific reasons are being investigated, and the staff will report at any time.

The latest information is signed to the Military Command Xi’an Work Station.”

Seeing that Tang Qiuli had finished reading, Chairman Jiang slowly asked: "Qiuli, do you have any suggestions for how to deal with it properly?" Tang Qiuli was silent for a moment.

Chairman Chiang knew very well that his executive power was being detained in Nanjing, Yang Hucheng was forced to go abroad for inspection, the Northeastern Army and the 17th Route Army were leaderless, and the Young Zhuang Faction was bound to use force with the Central Committee to force the Central Committee to release Zhang Xueliang.

The peace faction did not agree to use troops, so they mutinied. Speaking of which, he was the initiator. However, Chairman Chiang had no regrets at all. If the incident happened again, he would do the same to Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng.

According to Chairman Chiang's temper, he first issued a telegram, ordering the Northeastern Army and the 17th Route Army to immediately lay down their weapons and wait for the Central Committee to send personnel to deal with it. If they refused to carry out the order, the army would surround them and wipe out the incident on the spot. The Xi'an Incident

, the psychological shadow on Chairman Chiang was too serious.

Now, the army in Shaanxi is under the jurisdiction of Tang Qiuli. It is up to him to decide how to deal with it. Besides, the ink of the Xi'an Six Agreements is still wet, and Chairman Chiang is not willing to bear the name of treachery and have more blood on his hands.

.

Tang Qiuli raised his head: "Chairman, this mutiny occurred in the jurisdiction of the Northern Army Branch. It should be handled by Qiu Li. I will fly to Xi'an immediately to handle the matter personally. There is one thing. Before I go to Xi'an, I want to see Zhang Xueliang.

On the one hand, I wonder if the Chairman can approve it?"

Chairman Jiang hesitated for a moment, why did Tang Qiuli go to see Zhang Xueliang? He looked at Tang Qiuli's indifferent face suspiciously, and then readily agreed. Tang Qiuli couldn't abduct Zhang Xueliang, right?

Nanjing Military Introspection Institute, Zhang Xueliang has been detained here since he was detained in Nanjing. Tang Qiuli came here carrying a lot of food and daily necessities.

Shocked by Tang Qiuli's identity, the guards here didn't even have the courage to touch things. If they were ordinary people and didn't check things inside and out, they would be derelict in their duties.

Seeing Tang Qiuli, Zhang Xueliang was stunned at first, and then he was extremely surprised. He held his hand tightly, just like meeting an old friend in a foreign country. Tang Qiuli placed the food and wine he brought on the table in the yard, and sat opposite Zhang Xueliang.

, the guards looked here with their heads peeping out.

Tang Qiuli glanced over with cold eyes. It really had the effect of quieting the street. In an instant, no one was around. Zhang Xueliang smiled bitterly. When he usually went to the toilet, there were two guards following him.

Zhang Xueliang was obviously much thinner, and his dark stubble looked like it had not been shaved for many days. Only his eyes were still as bright as ever, without any signs of depression.

Tang Qiuli told him everything that happened in Xi'an. Zhang Xueliang sighed deeply and drank the wine in one gulp. His expression was indescribably lonely and somewhat disheartened.

Later, Zhang Xueliang told Tang Qiuli that since the Northeastern Army retreated to the pass, they fought in Xifengkou and Rehe, and were defeated in both battles. Finally, they retreated to Shaanxi, like a bereaved dog with no place to stay.

From then on, I felt that the Northeastern Army had become a burden on my heart. I was unable to take them back to their hometown in the Northeast and regain their lost territory. I also had no way to take them to the battlefield to fight against the Japanese. I was even less willing to be cannon fodder and fight for Chiang Kai-shek.

During the civil war, his bones were buried in a foreign land, and he died with an infamy.

Now, what he was most worried about had happened. How could he not be heartbroken and disheartened? Zhang Xueliang drank a few drinks and suddenly grabbed Tang Qiuli's hand and said emotionally: "Brother Qiu Li, I think of you and me."

Due to the kindness of fellow countrymen and the love of brothers, Zhang Hanqing is incompetent and has entrusted the Northeast Army to you. I hope you will give them a good home and preserve some of the old man's blood."

After saying that, he stood up from his seat, raised his glass with both hands, and bowed deeply. Tang Qiuli held Zhang Xueliang's hand emotionally. This was such a trust and trust, and it was also the result he expected. Only in his own hands could the Northeast Army win?

play its due role.

Nearly 200,000 passionate men who have left their homes and harbor a deep hatred for the Japanese will be so murderous and full of fighting spirit once they go to the battlefield. It is a nightmare for the Japanese and a source of excitement for the Chinese.

He nodded heavily, saying nothing. This was a promise between a man and a man, and what he received was a trust of complete trust.

Zhang Xueliang was in high spirits, as if he had put down a heavy burden and a long-suppressed burden, and shouted loudly: "Bring paper and pen!" A guard brought paper and pen, but refused to leave, his eyes wandered, as if he wanted to see Zhang Xueliang

What to write about?

Tang Qiuli glanced at him, and the guard felt as if he had received an electric shock. He felt a chill in his heart. He shrunk his neck and resigned. When he got outside the yard, he could breathe again. He secretly exclaimed, "This Vice Chairman Tang is not very old. He is good."

If you have a strong murderous aura, no matter how ignorant you are, your neck may be broken.

Zhang Xueliang quickly wrote the letter to the generals at all levels of the Northeast Army. Tang Qiuli took it solemnly. When he was leaving the yard, he looked back at Zhang Xueliang. What he saw was ardent expectation. His body was still upright, but

There is an indescribable desolation.

Tang Qiuli felt sad. The hero of the past was now the prisoner of Chu. The rest of his life was wasted by the rising and setting of the sun. Could it be that the fate of his life was determined by fate?

Tang Qiuli returned to the Military Commission, reported to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and obtained full authority to handle the Shaanxi mutiny. He received a promise from the central government not to interfere with the matter, and began to prepare for a trip to Xi'an with an unpredictable future.

On the morning of February 4th, Tang Qiuli took only his newlywed wife Mei Ting, guard captain Shan Hu and a dozen other guards to leave Nanjing on a special plane and fly to the capital of Xi'an.
