Su Zongzhe nodded, indeed! Chiang Zhongzheng had something extraordinary, otherwise he would not be where he is today. You know, he was able to break through the siege and reach the top despite being surrounded by the son of the founding father and revolutionary veteran Wang Zhaoming and others.

!

How can such a character be easily dismissed?!

"Things won't change. Looking at those pro-Japanese faction, I know they can't do anything big!" Tu Qianjun smiled at Su Zongzhe and said nonchalantly: "I can't even make up my mind to kill Chiang Zhongzheng.

What else can he do?! No wonder Wang Zhaoming’s power has been dismembered, it’s really a big deal for him in Nancheng!”

It is indeed difficult for Wang Zhaoming to achieve great things, but He Yingqin is ready to take action! On December 16, at the Standing Committee of the Nanjing Government, He Yingqin encouraged the "punitive" faction to besiege Kong Xiangxi again.

Some people in the Huangpu Clique and the Central Army, especially a group of young generals in the Huangpu Clique, expressed their loyalty to the Huangpu Clique and its leaders by "crusade", denounced Kong Xiangxi's "incompetence" and demanded a "bloodbath of Xi'an".

!

He Yingqin advocated a "crusade". On the surface, it was mainly to rescue Chiang Zhongzheng by force. But in fact, Zhang and Yang's telegrams had made clear to the whole country and even the world the use of force to "ensure the safety" of Chiang Zhongzheng.

He Yingqin's "crusade" might very well kill Chiang!

Kong Xiangxi and others quietly called the minutes of this meeting to Chiang Zhongzheng in Xi'an. Naturally, Zhang Xueliang and others would send this telegram to Chiang Zhongzheng in order to stop the Central Army's attack.

On the 16th, just over an hour after the meeting ended, Jiang Dingwen, who was detained along with Chiang Zhongzheng, suddenly took a special plane to Nanjing. He took Chiang Zhongzheng with him and personally issued the warrant to He Yingqin.

On the morning of the 17th, Jiang Dingwen arrived in Nanjing. He did not meet He Yingqin directly, but first contacted Song Meiling and others. Then Kong Xiangxi came forward to preside over an emergency meeting of the Nanjing government!

Participants included Feng Yuxiang, He Yingqin, Sun Ke, etc. At the meeting, Jiang Dingwen showed Chiang Zhongzheng's handwriting. At the same time, Jiang Dingwen also let Feng Yuxiang and others read the handwriting.

When the warrant was announced, He Yingqin's face was ashen and he said nothing. But he saw the warrant read:

"To my brother: I heard that the air force bombed Weinan yesterday, and I hope it will stop immediately. We will observe closely. I will be able to return to Beijing before this Saturday, so there must be no conflict before Saturday. It is important to stop the bombing immediately."

He Yingqin's face became extremely ugly when he saw this handwriting! Although he got most people to argue, the Nanjing government decided to suspend bombing from the 17th to the 21st; both Nanjing and Xi'an stopped military operations!

This handwriting was so powerful! This greatly enhanced the confidence of Song Meiling and others in rescuing Chiang Zhongzheng. Song Ziwen asked He Yingqin to fly to Xi'an to face Chiang Kai-shek. He Yingqin was angry because he was forced to suspend the "crusade".

He shouted at Song Ziwen.

"What do you know?! This is a national matter! You must obey military orders!!" Song Ziwen did not show weakness, and coldly contradicted He Yingqin: "I am a civilian who does not hold public office, not a soldier!" The implication is, you He Yingqin

Can't control me.

He Yingqin immediately became angry and cursed Song Ziwen! There was a quarrel at the meeting. Seeing this, Song Meiling had no choice but to smooth things over: "Ziwen is also worried about the Chairman, and is willing to risk his own life to go to Shaanxi."

The heart to serve the country. Patriotism with fists and fists, respect for it should not be suppressed..."

After Song Meiling's persuasion, He Yingqin reluctantly agreed to let Song Ziwen go to Xi'an. However, the resolution of the meeting must indicate that Song Ziwen was sent to Xi'an in a private capacity to understand the situation. Although the military operations of the Central Army attacking Xi'an have not completely stopped,

The "crusade" had to be delayed.

On the same day, He Yingqin received a call from Zhang Xueliang, stating that "the issue of releasing Chiang remains to be discussed."

"During this period, it is best to avoid military operations. My troops have not yet advanced, but your troops have entered Tongguan in the west and are bombing wildly. Who will attack Goye? Who will start a civil war? If all my troops evacuate to the east of Tongguan, my troops will go to Tongguan.

You can stop moving. Otherwise, who among the soldiers on both sides does not understand the key point?!" After reading the message, He Yingqin fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about whether he was correct in siding with Wang Zhaoming. If Jiang Zhongzheng came back and found clues, it would undoubtedly be extremely detrimental to him! At this time, He Yingqin himself began to waver!

In order to have a complete plan, He Yingqin gritted his teeth and drafted a message - he planned to use a certain Lao Xier to contain Zhang and Yang and isolate Xi'an!

As expected, Yan Xishan was able to mediate and move Chiang Zhongzheng to Taiyuan, and it was indispensable for him to do so. Once he decided to do it, he did it! He Yingqin then found Kong Xiangxi to discuss, drafted a letter to Yan Laoxi, and sent the then Guizhou

The fourth brother He Jiwu, who was a member of the provincial government but had not yet taken up his post, asked Feng Yuxiang and other dignitaries to sign.

Although Kong Xiangxi and others were suspicious of He Yingqin's change of attitude, they naturally did not object as long as it was beneficial to rescuing Chiang Zhongzheng. So with their help, Sun Ke, He Yingqin, Ye Chuqin, Wang Chonghui, Kong Xiangxi, Ju Zheng, Feng Yuxiang...

Waiting for dignitaries from the government to sign this letter one after another.

This letter is written like this: "If you look around the country, you can clearly understand the crux of this matter. No one who is familiar with the balance between public and private power is better than Mr. Sir. Please give Han Qing some advice today and send Mr. Jie to you today."

Taiyuan…”

At the same time, the letter stated that Yan Xishan would be appointed to handle the important task with "full authority". At the same time, Huang Shaohong was sent to Shanxi to discuss business.

Yan Xishan couldn't help but be overjoyed after receiving the letter. He didn't expect that his wish to return to his hometown would come true so quickly! Of course, he also knew that he owed He Yingqin a favor.

At this time, Song Ziwen rushed to Xi'an to meet with Chiang Zhongzheng. Chiang Zhongzheng directly instructed Song Ziwen that "we cannot save the country from danger unless we quickly advance troops at this time."

At the same time, he also explained how to advance troops to achieve great results. Jiang Zhongzheng repeatedly warned Song Ziwen: "According to Yu's plan, Xi'an can be besieged within five days. Then Yu will be safe and will have nothing to fear despite the danger."

After Song Ziwen returned to Nanjing, he informed He Yingqin of Chiang Zhongzheng's wishes. He Yingqin knew that his plan might be in vain! He first announced another ceasefire for four days, and then after some struggle, he chose to follow Chiang Zhongzheng's order: east and west.

The "rebellion" army will encircle Xi'an according to Chiang Zhongzheng's plan, oppress Zhang, and Yang will submit!

None of these secret things escaped the eyes of the National Defense Forces. Every move was faithfully recorded and sent back to Fengtian.

In the conference room, everyone was sipping tea and looking at the reports one after another. They couldn't help but admire how vividly everyone's performance in this invisible pantomime was!

"Amazing! Chiang Zhongzheng deserves to be the hero of the moment. Although he was in jail, he was killed with just a warrant! He was forced to change his ways! This ability is not something ordinary people can have!"

Yang Yuting looked at the reports one after another and couldn't help but sigh: "If it were an ordinary person, He Yingqin might have squeezed him out long ago..."

Yan Zhengqing couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, and said to Yang Yuting: "In this case, when it comes to skill, Jiang Zhongzheng is indeed the best choice. His reaction is fast enough, his actions are big enough, and he can be considered timely. But he really wins.

He Yingqin is too stupid."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned! Then Yang Yuting respectfully asked Yan Zhengqing for advice: "Please give me some advice, sir..."

"I don't dare give you advice, but we can talk about this matter." Yan Zhengqing smiled and said to everyone: "The Nanjing government has been run by Chiang Kai-shek for a long time. He Yingqin is just in charge of the military. We can even say that he is not the person other than Chiang Kai-shek.

Military power. In other words, He Yingqin actually only commanded the Central Army when Chiang Zhongzheng was unable to issue orders."

Everyone nodded, it was indeed true! Yan Zhengqing picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and continued: "As for the party and politics, He Yingqin has absolutely no hand in it. He doesn't even have the slightest influence.

.Wanquan’s command cannot move those officials.”

"Even after so many years of management by Chiang Zhongzheng, he has not completely reached the point where he can give orders as much as he can. What's more, how can he Yingqin?! What we need to note is that, except for some senior figures in the government such as: Sun Ke, Ju Zheng, Zhang Jingjiang and a few others,

In addition, the rest are almost all political forces that rely on Chiang Kai-shek."

"CC Department, Political Science Department, Feng Yuxiang...etc. These political forces originally existed dependent on Chiang Zhongzheng, and threatening Chiang Zhongzheng threatens their interests." After a pause, Yan Zhengqing continued to talk to the crowd.

.

"Even the elders of the government are worried that going too far this time will lead to a backlash against Chiang Kai-shek in the future. So basically it is just He Yingqin who is waving the flag and shouting to charge into the battle. It is just He Yingqin himself and his confidants."

"This incident in Xi'an was originally He Yingqin's best opportunity! Because no one expected such a move in Xi'an. If He Yingqin received the news at the beginning, he would contact the original anti-Chiang factions such as Sun Ke and others.

If we contact Feng Yuxiang and others who are very likely to support him, we may not be sure he will really succeed."

"It's a pity that after he blocked the news at first, he only consulted with his closest people for discussion. This is understandable, but he did not find any political allies to balance political interests, and only thought about making profits for himself! This is extremely

It’s not advisable! When Feng Yuxiang and others come to talk about this matter, He Yingqin is actually already passive!"

"One mistake will lead to failure at every step!" Yan Zhengqing smiled and said to everyone: "He Yingqin himself lacked confidence and had an inherent disadvantage in the political party. Although he later woke up and contacted Wang Zhaoming, it was too late. Moreover, this

It has threatened the interests of Feng Yuxiang and others who were very likely to be neutral or even support him. As a result, his decision was finally passed over politically. All He Yingqin could rely on was relying on his power in the Huangpu Department to deceive those Huangpu Department students.

They start a war."

"And Chiang Zhongzheng himself is the principal of the Huangpu Department, so his power is much stronger than that of He Yingqin! When Jiang Dingwen brought back Chiang Zhongzheng's autographed letter, He Yingqin's last bit of support had disappeared. He had to compromise!"

With that said, Yan Zhengqing drank all the tea in the cup! He said to everyone: "The matter in Xi'an is probably coming to an end. It is impossible for Jiang Zhongzheng to see He Yingqin being so unscrupulous, and Xi'an's request is not unacceptable. Jiang Zhongzheng, in the end,

We will still compromise."

Yang Yuting and others couldn't help but nodded after listening to Yan Zhengqing's analysis. He Yingqin was indeed unclear at first. In other words, he was too ambitious! He actually thought that he could swallow up the power left by Chiang Zhongzheng.

Unfortunately, when Feng Yuxiang, Sun Ke and others opposed the party and government forces, He Yingqin discovered the shortcomings of his party and government. Although he relied on his Huangpu faction to forcefully launch the war, he had no choice but to discover that he had

He is not the only one with military power!

Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, etc., who was not a former military boss?! If he acted forcefully, they would go back and start the army, and He Yingqin would definitely not be able to take advantage of it.

Secondly, He Yingqin is basically in charge of military affairs. Apart from government affairs, finance is also his biggest shortcoming! Even Wang Zhaoming and other state elders were directly killed by Chiang Zhongzheng in the Finance Office. What tricks can He Yingqin do?

?!

He Yingqin did not marry a woman from the Song family. Without the protection of the plutocrats, even if He Yingqin forcibly took a high position, he would not be able to maintain it! It is a pity that He Yingqin only discovered these problems after he launched the campaign.

By the time he came to his senses and went to Wang Zhaoming to cooperate, it was too late because his opponent, Jiang Zhongzheng, had a much stronger reaction than him. Moreover, Jiang Zhongzheng’s teammates were not He Yingqin’s pig teammates.

They obtained Chiang Zhongzheng's handwriting and directly eliminated the possibility of He Yingqin using military force to attack Xi'an. Later, Feng Yuxiang and others also chose to side with Chiang Zhongzheng for their own political interests - He Yingqin even contacted Wang Zhaoming

Will they still have the political power they have now if Wang Zhaoming comes to power?!

No one can say for sure, and Wang Zhaoming is out of town and has already fallen out with Sun Ke. How can he use his political advantage thousands of miles away?! Wrong step, wrong step! He Yingqin's journey became more and more difficult, and he finally chose

It was headed by Chiang Zhongzheng.

There is no other way, the situation is forcing him! He can finally see that even if something happens to Chiang Zhongzheng, He Yingqin may not lose anything. He may not even be able to maintain his current power.

Wang Zhaoming did not use his political advantage. Instead, Song Ziwen and others had tied Feng Yuxiang and others together! Even if Chiang Zhongzheng was killed, He Yingqin would probably face the split of the Huangpu faction himself next.

What came next was that He Yingqin became the target of public criticism - it would be good to have one less person to share the greater interests. But He Yingqin controlled the Huangpu clique and did not have many political allies. Will Wang Zhaoming even stand on his side?

They are all problems...

On the 22nd, Song Meiling, Song Ziwen and Dai Li took a flight directly to Xi'an. The group expressed their willingness to negotiate on the basis of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's "eight major propositions". Jiang Zhongzheng proposed that he would not come forward. The Song brothers and sisters were represented; what was agreed upon in the negotiations was

The conditions were guaranteed by his "leadership personality" but he refused to make any written signature.

This caused a huge controversy between Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng!

"I insist on him signing it in person!!" Yang Hucheng said solemnly to Zhang Xueliang: "This is not a matter of trust, but if he is not even willing to sign, how can I believe his sincerity?!"
