Ding Ling held her daughter, who was less than two years old, and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Goodbye, Mr. Zhou!"
"Bingzhi, take care!" Zhou Hexuan said with a grin, "By the way, I would like to say hello to the gentlemen from Yan'an."
"I will." Ding Ling also smiled.
The operation to rescue Ding Ling was a success. Zhou Hexuan went to see Chiang Kai-shek that night and interceded for Ding Ling as an old friend. Chang Kaishen was very considerate and asked his adjutant to call Xu Enzeng on the spot without making any request.
After Ding Ling regained her freedom, she immediately broke up with Feng Da and prepared to take her mother and children back to her hometown in Hunan. After settling down her family, she was going to Yan'an to participate in the revolution. She was the first well-known writer to go to Yan'an.
Zhou Hexuan took out a bill, put it into Ding Ling's hand and whispered: "This bill of exchange for 200,000 yuan can be cashed directly at Northwest Bank. Please be sure to help me forward it to my friends in Yan'an."
"Mr. Zhou is thoughtful." Ding Ling admired him.
"Farewell!"
"Farewell!"
After watching Ding Ling board the river ship, Zhou Hexuan returned to the Yangtze Hotel with his bodyguards, where Zhang Xueliang was still waiting for him.
Zhang Xueliang has been in the northwest for more than half a year under orders to "suppress bandits." This time he came to Nanjing for a meeting, the upcoming Second Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang.
Compared with his depression last year, Zhang Xueliang was obviously much more cheerful now. When he was "suppressing bandits" in the northwest, he not only contacted the Yan'an authorities, but also verbally submitted an application to join the party.
Yes, Zhang Xueliang was ready to join the Communist Party, and asked Yan'an to send people to the Northeastern Army to develop party members and help the Northeastern Army train middle- and low-level military cadres. Unfortunately, after the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang was placed under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek, and the matter of joining the party was nothing to do.
, otherwise he can at least get a founding general of New China.
The Communist International strongly opposed Zhang Xueliang's joining the party, but their opposition had no effect at all. The gentlemen in Yan'an were sober-minded.
"Mingcheng, do you want to go to the northwest with me? I live very happily there." Zhang Xueliang was still in the mood to joke.
"I'll forget it," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "As long as you are happy, I wish your cooperation all the best."
"What kind of cooperation?" Zhang Xueliang Youzuo didn't know.
Zhou Hexuan poured a glass of red wine for Zhang Xueliang, poured the wine on the coffee table, dipped his fingers in the wine and wrote the character "Red", then wrote the character "Yang" and "Feng", and then circled these three characters together.
Zhang Xueliang laughed loudly: "Mingcheng is really sharp, I can't hide anything from you."
Zhou Hexuan erased the writing on the coffee table and warned: "Don't trust Chiang Kai-shek too much, or he will bite you back."
"How dare I believe him?" Zhang Xueliang shook his head and sighed.
The two people's minds were obviously not on the same page. What Zhou Hexuan was talking about was that after the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang should be allowed to escape as soon as possible before being put under house arrest. Zhang Xueliang had not yet had the idea of capturing Chiang Kai-shek. At this time, he thought
What Zhou Hexuan said was to remind him not to let Chiang Kai-shek control the Northeastern Army.
Zhou Hexuan still couldn't explain the nonsense and nonsense, so it was impossible for him to say that he had foresight.
The young marshal was still the same young marshal. He planned to lead the Northeast Army to join the party collectively, and he was still so playful. In the afternoon of that day, Zhang Xueliang invited Zhou Hexuan to go to the theater with him. In the evening, he attended a dance and played with the beautiful girls in the dance hall.
fiery.
The next morning, Zhou Hexuan finally took his wife and set off for his new home in Chongqing.
Sister-in-law Zhang Manyi excitedly wanted to accompany her, but was forced to stay in Nanjing by Zhang Mouzhi. She planned to make friends with Kong Lingyi while the iron was hot, and tried her best to gain connections with the Kong family.
After several days of traveling on the river, everyone finally arrived at Chongqing Chaotianmen Pier, which was more prosperous and lively than in previous years.
At this time, Liu Xiang had unified Sichuan and became the veritable "King of Sichuan". He was awarded the title of Army General by Nanjing and his official residence was moved from Chongqing to Chengdu.
The final battle between Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui is extremely funny.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek asked Liu Xiang to go all out to "suppress the bandits". Liu Xiang imitated "to pacify the internal situation first" and "to suppress the reds, we must first pacify the country". The civil war was very lively.
As for Liu Wenhui, after his defeat, he withdrew to Xikang and sent a telegram to the whole country that he would "consolidate national defense" and try his best to defend the western border for the country. If Liu Xiang continued to pursue and fight, he would be a national traitor.
Liu Xiang's overall rule in Sichuan was of great significance to Sichuan and the whole of China. Sichuan's transportation, industry, culture and education have developed rapidly in the past two or three years. Especially transportation construction, which was impossible during the civil war.
Well, if Sichuan is not unified, logistics and transportation during the Anti-Japanese War will be extremely difficult.
Just two months ago, the railway from Chengdu to Guiyang via Chongqing was finally opened to traffic. This is Sichuan's first external transportation trunk line. When Guangdong is occupied by Japan, this railway will become the lifeline of China's transportation. Yuanyuan
A constant stream of foreign supplies will be shipped from here to the capital, Chongqing.
Not talking about Liu Xiang's wonderful performance in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, just talking about his internal affairs development in Sichuan is enough to be called a patriotic hero.
Zhou Hexuan's new home was built near Liziba, later known as the Yuzhong Anti-Japanese War Heritage Park. Zhang Mouzhi was personally responsible for the design and construction. The total area was 5,000 square meters, with built-in gardens and lawns, and the beautiful Jialing River at the door. He even bought a
A private small river boat is used as a means of travel.
Zhou Hexuan arrived home this time by taking a small riverboat. A simple dock was built on the riverside. Walk 50 meters along the winding stone steps to reach the towering villa wall. The words "Zhou Mansion" are engraved on the top of the big iron gate.
The main building is a three-story foreign-style building with walls painted gray and white. There are a total of 19 rooms upstairs and downstairs.
Zhou Hexuan is very satisfied with everything. The only drawback is that the garden villa was only completed at the end of last year, and the vegetation inside has not yet grown up, so it looks bare at first glance.
The aunts and wives took their daughters to the river to greet her. Cui Huifu directed the porters to help carry the luggage, which attracted fishermen on the river to drive their boats to watch from a distance.
A few fishermen who had been working all day were rowing their boats and leaning on the shore, smoking leaf cigarettes and chatting animatedly:
"Who is this big shot?"
"You still don't know? Did you see the words on the door, Zhou Mansion!"
"Mei Laokan, you are bragging again. You haven't even read the book and you know the word shovel."
"I heard from the teacher at school that this place is Zhou Hexuan's mansion. He has won awards in the West and is the most powerful cultural figure in China."
"Zhou Hexuan who fights with Liu Shenxian?"
"Why, it's not him. Didn't you hear that Liu Shenxian had a falling out with Commander Liu, and now he is wanted by posters everywhere. Why did Liu Shenxian have a falling out with Commander Liu? It's because Zhou Hexuan is coming to Chongqing, and there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
There is no room for two gods in one Sichuan!"
"That's awesome!"
"Hey, it's more than amazing. I heard that the Chairman of the Generalissimo in the UK would ask Zhou Hexuan to cast spells to drive away evil spirits when his son was sick. He usually flies when he goes out. He flew from China to the UK in a short time, and when he put on his Taoist robes, he would get dressed.
.”
"Fart, Zhou Hexuan is a god descended to earth, he rides Bai He'er when he goes out, why does he need to take a plane?"
"Then why does he have to take a boat to get home?"
"There are too many things to bring with me when we move, even the white crane can't carry them."
