Chapter 203 Difficulty changing flags
Lin Quanzhu then advised Zhang Xueliang again: "The Analects of Confucius, Xueer" once said: 'The father was observing his ambition, but his father did not observe his actions. He did not change his way of father for three years. It can be said to be filial.' Before the father of the commander-in-chief's father was buried, the commander-in-chief regarded the enemy as his friend and surrendered to the Kuomintang. Can this be called filial piety?"
Zhang Xueliang heard Lin Quanzhu's faces gradually became ugly, and Lin Quanzhu seemed to have noticed them and immediately stopped talking. In fact, Lin Quanzhu told Zhang Xueliang at the welcome party. He knew Zhang Xueliang's attitude and even the attitudes of Britain, the United States and other countries.
But the Japanese diplomat still wanted to work hard to see if he could convince Zhang Xueliang to let him give up on his plan to change his flag. Originally, Lin Quanzhu thought he would have hope when he saw Zhang Xueliang's expression changed a little, but now it seems that the situation is not as he thought. So he was silent.
After a while, Zhang Xueliang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to Lin Quanzhu: "Mr. Lin, you have repeatedly thought about my ideas, and even more thoughtful than me in terms of interests in si people. I feel very good about this! But there is one thing I have never thought of for me."
When Lin Quanzhu heard this, he thought his advice was ready! He couldn't help but bow to Zhang Xueliang slightly and said softly: "I haven't considered it, please give me some advice from the commander-in-chief. I believe that we will eventually reach a consensus."
Lin Quanzhu was born in 1860 and is now 68 years old. Zhang Xueliang looked at him with a sad and sad age, a little haggard, but he felt a little reluctant to say his decision. But thinking that these people were his revenge to kill his father, Zhang Xueliang's heart immediately became hard!
After pondering for a while, Lin Quanzhu seemed to notice Zhang Xueliang's hesitation and smiled and said, "The Commander-in-Chief does not need to hesitate. Lin Quanzhu is already a recent person and has nothing to do before?! You just say it bluntly."
Then Zhang Xueliang said slowly to Lin Quanzhu: "Old man, you have thought about everything, but you didn't think of one thing: I, Zhang Xueliang, are Chinese after all..."
Lin Quanzhu heard Zhang Xueliang's words and was silent for a long time, and bowed slowly to Zhang Xueliang and said softly: "Then, I will return to China tomorrow..."
Zhang Xueliang saw that Lin Quanzhuo was like this. He also bowed slightly to him and said, "Please go slowly, I won't send you there." After that, Zhang Xueliang slowly left the study, while Lin Quanzhuo followed Zhang Xueliang and left the Marshal's Mansion lonely.
The next morning, Lin Quansuke flew back to Japan on a Kanto Army plane. He was sent to the East Army commander Hidetaro Hata and Japanese Minister Toshiro Nakajiro, but no one in An** was seen.
At the end of July, Tu Sanpao's body recovered roughly. Later, Zhang Xueliang appointed him to replace Wu Junsheng as the commander of the 7th Legion and also served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the security guards of the three eastern provinces. The rest of the Fengtian veterans had no objection to this. If Tu Sanpao did not leave back then, he should have arrived at this position now.
At the end of August, Li Yuying, one of the four senior veterans of the Guo Min Party, led the team of Hu Ruoyu, Zhu Guangmu, Zhu Haibei and others to accompany him to the secret event in Fengtian. Because Li Yuying's identity gave him enough qualifications to reach some agreements with Zhang Xueliang. While the negotiations, Zhang Xueliang also kept in secret contact with Jiang Zhongzheng!
Chiang Zhongzheng was also afraid that something would happen if forced to the Japanese too quickly, so he expressed his preliminary agreement with Zhang Xueliang to delay the change of flag. Later, Zhang Qun, Wu Tiecheng, and Song Dazhang were assigned by the Nanjing government to come to Fengtian specifically. They will conduct final negotiations and establish a timetable for change of flags!
At this time, Japan had already discovered that the matter was not under control! Therefore, Zhao Xinbo, a legal adviser to the security headquarters of the three East China Provinces who were pro-Japanese, tried to detain or even execute Zhang Qun and others, but unfortunately, the matter was stopped by Tu Qianjun and others. Zhang Qun was escorted to the Marshal's Mansion.
Tu Qianjun did not care much about these things. In his opinion, changing the flag may be feasible. At least this can restrain Japan. To win time for the Fengtian faction, although the Fengtian faction can be regarded as China's largest army, the helpless thing is that it is still a big gap compared with the Japanese army!
Therefore, what we need now is: time! time! or time!! Just as the Fengtian Group negotiated with the Nanjing government, another major event that caused a sensation across the country happened!
Yang Zengxin, the chairman appointed in Xinjiang announced the change of flags, was assassinated by Fan Yaonan, who hoped that Guo Min would revolution. It caused a sensation across the country! The Fengtian faction was even more panicked, and the Fengtian faction veterans were even more worried that Nanjing would come to play this trick once they gained power!
After all, Nanjing has done this. Speaking of which, they all started this way! Chen Qimei and Jiang Zhongzheng were both killers. How can we not worry the veterans of the Fengtian clan?!
So the negotiations between the two sides reached a deadlock again. Even Zhang Xueliang could do nothing this time. After all, you have been playing assassination and who is not afraid of?! This is not playing according to the rules! Who dares to play with you?! If you are unhappy, I will send someone to assassinate immediately. No one can stand it!
So Chiang Kai-shek urgently convened an internal meeting of the Guo Min government, and then held several conditions for Zhang Xueliang and the others: First, the Northeast diplomacy will be handled by the central government to relieve them of their troubles in dealing with Japan! Second, the "internal affairs" of the Northeast are still under the responsibility of the current staff and will not be changed. Even if there are major personnel, Zhang Xueliang will first request the commission and then appointed by the central government.
Third, the Nanjing government allows 10 million yuan of military pay to the Fengjun as food pay every month! And, all taxes in the three northeastern provinces are decided by the Fengjun, represented by Zhang Xueliang, themselves! The Nanjing government will not interfere!
After deciding these points, the veterans of the Fengtian clan finally agreed to the move again with skepticism. However, in order to test whether the Japanese would interfere with the move, Zhang Xueliang first asked Tang Yulin to announce the change of the move in Rehe!
At the same time, Tu Sanpao, who had replaced Wu Junsheng as the commander of the Seventh Army, led his troops to closely monitor the movements of the Kwantung Army! Zhang Xueliang originally thought that the Kwantung Army would practice again and other things to deter, but strangely, they did not move any other than raising their vigilance against the Sixth Army and the First Army, which were guarding them.
The next day, Zhang Xueliang received the news! The US ambassador to Japan asked to meet Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka and solemnly expressed the attitude of the United States. Then the British ambassador to Japan also asked to meet Tanaka Yoshiichi Tanaka and expressed the same attitude as the US ambassador!
Only then did Japan realize that the situation was hopeless, so it stopped the Kanto Army's attempt to move blindly. Then Tanaka Yoichi announced: The Northeast affairs are China's internal affairs, and Japan will not interfere. It allows it to be so-called, but it requires that it will not affect Japan's interests in China.
This will naturally be guaranteed by Britain and the United States, and the Nanjing government was instructed. Chiang Zhongzheng also guaranteed that he would not touch Japan's vested interests. Then Chiang Zhongzheng kept urging Zhang Xueliang in a telegram: "We should take this opportunity to change the flag and declare our employment at the same time, and use the Double Tenth Festival of the 17th year as the anniversary of the completion of the unification of my brother."
Why was Chiang Kai-shek suddenly so anxious? Because in the 173th National Congress of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held in advance, the 173rd National Committee of the People's Republic of China elected Chiang Kai-shek as the chairman of the National Government and elected 16 members of the National Government, including Zhang Xueliang nominated by Chiang Kai-shek!
Therefore, some people are very dissatisfied with the election of Zhang Xueliang! They think that he can become a member of the National Government after only a warlord? In response, Chiang Chiang explained: "If we want to make the international recognition that we have been unified, we need to make a certain country less excuses, and the authorities of the three northeastern provinces have no intention of waiting and watching and room for maneuvering, we can only make such a decision."
With this explanation, most people had to accept it. After all, Chiang Zhongzheng's reputation is at its peak after the completion of the Northern Expedition, and no one wants to cause trouble. But if Chiang Zhongzheng made such a decision, then Zhang Xueliang must also say something wrong? So Chiang Zhongzheng urgently needs Zhang Xueliang to make a statement, which makes his decision wiser.
Therefore, he kept urging Zhang Xueliang to change his flag to increase his political reputation. Zhang Xueliang thought for a long time but still did not make up his mind. Although he also wanted to change his flag, he did not think that he would change his flag so early. However, Jiang Zhongzheng's constant urging made him a little shaken, so he found Tu Qianjun to ask.
In fact, after experiencing the death of Zhang Zuolin and he returned to Fengtian early under Tu Qianjun's judgment, Zhang Xueliang had a natural trust in Tu Qianjun! In addition, Tu Qianjun firmly stood on his side at that dangerous meeting, so he made Zhang Xueliang regard Tu Qianjun as his loyal confidant!
When he encountered such a thing that he was undecided and Zhang Zuoxiang was not by his side, Zhang Xueliang subconsciously asked Tu Qianjun to discuss it. At this time, he didn't realize that Tu Qianjun was only sixteen years old, and he was even much younger than him!
Tu Qianjun came out of his new army and came directly to the Grandmaster's Mansion. At this time, the Grandmaster's Mansion was brightly lit! However, because Zhang Zuolin's departure seemed a bit dull now, Tu Qianjun arrived when Zhang Xueliang started having supper. Zhang Xueliang was very happy to let him go to the table together when he saw Tu Qianjun coming.
But after halfway through the meal, Zhang Xueliang's face turned pale! He kept trembling. At this time, Zhang Xueliang's secretary Guo Weicheng quickly helped Zhang Xueliang down and smoked smoked in the inner room. Tu Qianjun naturally knew that Zhang Xueliang was smoking smoked. Looking at Zhang Xueliang's appearance, Tu Qianjun knew that this was an addict's behavior.
After all, the opium smokers he came into contact with the Golden Triangle also showed such a behavior. Tu Qianjun was no longer surprised by this kind of thing. After Zhang Xueliang finished smoking opium, he finally got better after he came out and looked at Tu Qianjun apologetically and said, "Junzi... makes you laugh!"
