In the following period, Yang An was mainly trained to shoot a pistol with one hand. Since Yang An's bones are thin and his arm and wrist strength are obviously insufficient, Hu Lide only let him train for one hour every afternoon, mainly training on drawing the gun, aiming the gun, and firing.

During the training, only ten rounds of live ammunition were fired. Perhaps because the early training went too smoothly, the results of this training content have been unsatisfactory, and Yang An was a little impatient. Yu Mantun reminded Hu Lide many times whether he should stop the training temporarily. Hu Lide thought this was a

The psychological process that an excellent shooter should go through. Yu Mantun didn't say much about this and continued to train Yang An step by step.

In early December, Yang An was carrying goods such as cigarettes, tea, and rice on the dock. He no longer exerted as much effort as before, and of course he did not feel relaxed. After all, he was only a child under the age of seventeen. Time can always solve many problems.

After nearly fifty days of practice, Yang An slowly got into the groove of shooting with a single-handed pistol. By early December, his training had basically met Hu Lide's requirements. If he didn't focus on speed, his shooting accuracy was still excellent.

Shooter. Hu Lide was not in a hurry about this. He put the one-handed pistol shooting at the end of the training, just with the intention of making it easy first and then difficult.

On the morning of December 13, Hu Lide was guarding the work on the dock. Before one o'clock, Hu Lide heard a man in Mantun pulling an empty cart running in a panic and shouting in a panic: "Boss! Boss! Big brother! Big brother! Something happened."

La!"

Hu Lide was very dissatisfied with Mantun's gaffe, but then he thought about it, maybe something big happened, so he quickly walked out of the pier to greet him. Soon, Hu Lide saw Yu Mantun stop panting, and took out something from his pocket.

From several different newspapers, Hu Lide glared at Yu Mantun fiercely and said fiercely: "Look at your character, you are still a man!"

Just as Hu Lide was about to say something else, he was suddenly attracted by the headline "Chairman Chiang was kidnapped in Xi'an" in the newspaper. He grabbed the newspapers and quickly flipped through the headline: "A major incident occurred in Xi'an yesterday"

, "Sudden changes in the troops under Zhang Xueliang's command", "Central leaders held emergency meetings late at night", "The situation in Xi'an is extremely chaotic", "The national government ordered the declaration of martial law in necessary areas", "Zhang Xueliang's troops concentrated from Weinan to Lintong"...

Hu Lide flipped through every newspaper. Each newspaper reported the major events in Xi'an in the most prominent position. Seeing these shocking headlines and subtitles, Hu Lide felt so suppressed that it was difficult to breathe, and then he felt a sense of

He felt like he was about to suffocate. He heard his own powerful heartbeat of "dong, dong, dong" and felt that his heart was about to jump into his throat. At this moment, Hu Lide's face became extremely ugly, and he even suffered from temporary dizziness.

.At this moment, he was about to be knocked down by the title, but in his heart he kept telling himself, "Calm down! Calm down!"

Opposite Hu Lide, Yu Mantun finally calmed down a little bit from the panting caused by the continuous fast running. Only then did he notice Hu Lide's frown and the abnormal expression on his face, and whispered with concern: "Brother, brother, are you okay?

"

Hu Lide calmed down, took a deep breath and replied: "It's okay." Then, he followed the eye-catching title and carefully read the report twice. At this time, his breathing slowly recovered.

However, his face was extremely heavy.

Hu Lide arranged the work on the dock and trotted back home with Yang An in Mantun.

As soon as the three of them entered the main room, Hu Lide slammed the newspaper in his hand on the table: "This young marshal doesn't think it's enough to embarrass the Northeastern people. What does he want to do if he comes up with it? This Wang Gaozi, he

What on earth do you want to do!"

"Boss, don't be angry! That's the kind of person he is!" Yu Mantun comforted.

The room suddenly fell silent, as if there was no one there at all, and even the air felt a little heavy.

After a few breaths passed, Yang An looked at Hu Lide and Yu Mantun, reached out and picked up the newspaper on the table, saw the eye-catching headline on the newspaper, and learned that a major incident had occurred in Xi'an, Shaanxi, in which Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was kidnapped by Zhang Xueliang.

, some newspapers even printed additional reports on this important event, and some newspapers also reported that Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng issued a message to the whole country: "Reorganize the Nanjing government to accommodate all parties and factions and jointly be responsible for saving the country; stop all civil wars; immediately release the patriotic people arrested in Shanghai

leader; release all political prisoners across the country; open up the popular patriotic movement; guarantee all political freedoms of people’s assembly and association; truly abide by Premier Sun’s will; and immediately convene a national salvation conference.”

Seeing the reports in these newspapers, he remembered the historical mutinies he had read in some books before. At his age, it was still difficult to connect the Xi'an Incident with the historical mutinies. Yang An could not

Knowing the consequences of this incident, he had never seen Hu Lide with such a heavy expression. Even on the night of September 1st, he had never seen him with such a heavy and painful expression. Mutinies in history often lead to dynasty changes.

The replacement of the throne was more often accompanied by continuous war. He slowly felt the seriousness of the matter from Hu Lide's expression and the records of mutinies in history.

On December 13, Lin Xiu and Fu Bo, who were staying in Zhenjiang, got up early and planned to go to the hotel to fill their stomachs and cross the river to go home early. As soon as they arrived at the hotel door, they heard several newsboys desperately shouting "Extra number"

, Extra number, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was kidnapped in Xi'an", "Extra number, Extra number, Zhang Xueliang launched a mutiny in Xi'an"... This cry shocked the two of them. The heavy snow festival had just passed a few days ago, the cold air had just passed, and the temperature had just warmed.

After a slight rise, the two people felt that the temperature suddenly dropped a lot!

The newsboy's business was naturally booming, and the newspapers were quickly sold out. Lin Xiu and Uncle Fu knew that the consequences of this incident were serious, so they quickly stopped other newsboys on the nearby streets and bought several more newspapers. The two of them hastily

After having breakfast on the ground, we returned to the hotel. The Lin family was a regular customer of this store. Lin Xiu entrusted the hotel to buy several newspapers every day and sent someone to deliver them to the Lin family in Yangzhou.

In the morning, Lin Xiu and his wife returned to Yangzhou by boat. In the living room of the Lin family's old house, Lin Xiu handed the newspaper to the old man. The old man walked to the bright light at the door and flipped through the news reports about the Xi'an Incident one by one. The old man's face became more and more complex.

It was getting uglier and heavier, as if the sky was about to fall. Lin Xiu had already read the reports related to the Xi'an Incident in these five newspapers on the ship. Looking at his father's face, he was already worried. Lin Xiu

The old man is over 70 years old, and he does things and speaks according to his heart. He has an open-minded attitude. This is a look that I have not seen for many years. Even during the floods in the 20th year of the Republic of China, and even when Yang An ran away from home, the old man was not as heavy as he is now.
