With the power of perfectly handling the "Guangdong and Guangxi Incident", the bald boss, who was increasingly regarded as a thorn in the side of the Red Party who was extremely active in northern Shaanxi and constantly proposed "the establishment of a unified anti-Japanese front", was more emboldened to mobilize the Central Army from the south to the north, hoping to replace the Northeast
The army launched an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Red Party in Shaanxi.
On October 22, the bald boss who flew to Xi'an strictly ordered Marshal Zhang to use troops against northern Shaanxi, but Zhang refused. He also proposed to stop the civil war and unite to resist Japan. The bald principal refused, and the two had a big quarrel and broke up.
On October 29, Zhang flew to Luoyang to celebrate the birthday of the bald principal and proposed a joint anti-Japanese campaign. He was rejected again and was told that if he was unwilling to fight, the Central Army would replace him with the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army.
On November 27, Zhang wrote to the bald principal again, asking for military support, but was rejected again.
On December 2, Zhang Fei arrived in Luoyang and met with the bald president, demanding the release of the "Seven Gentlemen" of the Anti-Japanese and Salvation Association. He reported to the bald boss that his subordinates were unstable and could not support the situation, and repeatedly requested the chairman to come and lecture him.
I agreed to go to Xi'an and stationed in Qingchi, Hua.
On December 7, Zhang went to Huaqing Pool to see the bald principal and repeatedly remonstrated, demanding an end to the civil war and a unified resistance to Japan, but was rejected.
On December 10, Zhang met the bald principal, who was holding a meeting and formally approved the launch of the sixth "encirclement and suppression" plan, and decided to announce a mobilization order on December 12, 1936.
On the evening of December 11, the bald headmaster invited Zhang, Yang and Jiang Dingwen, Chen Cheng, Zhu Shaoliang and others to attend a dinner. During the dinner, the bald headmaster read out that Jiang Dingwen was the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Bandit Suppression Army, and Wei Lihuang was the border region of the four provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Suining.
Appointment letter for the change of commander-in-chief and other generals. Orders the Central Army to take over the task of suppressing the Communist Party of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army.
On the evening of December 11, Zhang and Yang summoned senior generals of the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army respectively, and announced that they would conduct military remonstrances in the early morning of December 12.
At 5:00 on December 12, the Northeastern Army was ordered to capture the bald principal in Huaqing Pool. The bald principal jumped out of the bedroom window, injured his back, hid behind a big rock, and was found alive. At the same time, the 17th Route Army detained Chen Cheng.
Shao Lizi, Jiang Dingwen, Chen Tiaoyuan, Wei Lihuang, Zhu Shaoliang and other important military and political figures of the Kuomintang.
On December 12, Zhang and Yang issued an announcement to the whole country on "reorganizing the Nanjing government to accommodate all parties and factions and jointly responsible for saving the country; stopping all civil wars; immediately releasing the arrested patriotic leaders in Shanghai; releasing all political prisoners across the country; opening up the popular patriotic movement
; Guarantee all political freedoms of people's assembly and association; earnestly abide by Premier Sun's will; convene a national salvation conference immediately." The eight propositions for national salvation were telegraphed.
At this point, the Xi'an Incident officially broke out.
Liu Lang didn't go there either, and just stayed at the base of the Independent Regiment. He knew that his uncle was definitely looking for him. And he also knew that although this uncle didn't like the bald man, he still had a crush on the bald man.
A powerful uncle made the most correct choice during this critical historical period.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the phone call from the Sichuan Provincial Chairman's Office to be received by the communications platoon at the regiment headquarters. Liu Lang took the call in front of Zhang Ruhao.
Liu Xiang did not exchange greetings, and directly recounted what happened in Xi'an to Liu Lang. He did not even ask Liu Lang, but was silent for a while. Liu Lang knew that he was waiting for his opinion to make the final decision.
Liu Lang took a deep breath and was silent for a long time and said into the microphone: "Uncle Yao, your decision is my opinion and the opinion of the entire Sichuan army and people."
Liu Xiang was stunned for a brief moment on the other end of the phone. He was silent for a long time without saying a word. He probably didn't expect that his nephew, who had always been very thoughtful, would actually say such words. He frowned deeply at the same time.
A trace of determination flashed across his face, "Okay, I understand."
Liu Lang knew that although Liu Xiang did not react immediately after learning about the incident in the past, and waited until all parties had expressed their opinions before calling Zhang and Yang to express their willingness to resolve the dispute peacefully, he did not want to
At this point in time, China lost its leader.
It's not that he likes someone very much, but that under the attack of the Japanese army, there is no unified China that can accumulate all its strength to resist. I am afraid that China, which is fighting independently, has no future.
This time, Liu Lang had no words of advice, but Liu Lang knew that his uncle, the leader of a province, could definitely understand what he meant. Liu Lang meant the same as him. China's current top priority is to resist Japan.
Politics and self-interest must give way to the future of the country and nation.
After Zhang Ruhao heard the news of the "Xi'an Incident", he was first shocked and speechless, and then his face showed ecstasy. It was impossible for him not to be happy. The bald boss, the executioner whom the Red Party hates so much, is actually today? Countless comrades.
He and his comrades fell in a pool of blood caused by white terror in front of him. If he was not excited by this, then he was not a Red Party member.
"Kill him, and the Kuomintang can still elect a president and continue to resist Japan." Zhang Ruhao almost growled to express his opinion.
Liu Lang understands this very well. If he were in Zhang Ruhao's position, his first thought would probably be to kill him. There is no doubt that Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang, who have signed an agreement with the Red Party, are likely to reach most of the agreements.
Opinions of Red Party members.
However, regardless of whether the bald man's military ability is inferior, there is no doubt that his political ability is extremely outstanding in today's China. Even if there is someone who surpasses him, it is not with the Kuomintang Party, but with the Red Party. At least, China has never
Nominal unity was achieved in his hands.
"You are wrong. Kill him. China will soon fall apart. It will be difficult for the central government to issue orders to the provinces. And without unified leadership, how can China resist the Japanese army?" Liu Lang shook his head and said the opposite.
Seeing that Zhang Ruhao still wanted to object angrily, he said, "Why don't you and I wait for two days to see how the leaders express their stance?"
Liu Lang knew that although everyone was quick to punish the bald man's personal red party, they would definitely make the right choice relative to the fate of the country and the nation.
In fact, history has proven that their choice is the most correct.
Sure enough, at noon on December 13, the Kuomintang held a meeting to decide on the principles and policies of using both suppression and pacification. When General He, the first-level general of the Military and Political Department, led the army to attack the city of Xi'an, the Red Headquarters unexpectedly called up the power to advocate peace.
Resolve disputes and prevent civil war in China.
Warlords from various places also expressed their opinions one after another.
But this time, Liu Xiang did not wait until the 19th when Liu Lang refused to provide any advice. Instead, he rushed to the shrewdest Shanxi old man and said: "First, how can I take care of my situation? Second, how can I do this?"
, increase the strength of the Anti-Japanese War, or reduce the strength of the Anti-Japanese War? Thirdly, should the civil war be turned into a foreign war, and should the foreign war be suppressed into a civil war? Fourthly, brother, can we ensure that it does not turn into extreme massacres in the country?...Brother, please wait.
Please be patient and take good care of yourself." After sending a textual but sincere message urging both sides to resolve the dispute peacefully, he sent a message to Xi'an: "Civil war will lead to the destruction of the country. There is no need to elaborate. Military contact must be avoided and a political solution must be sought as soon as possible."
Warlords in Yunnan, Guangxi, Hunan, Shandong and other places also called in to express their attitudes, and most of them hoped for a peaceful resolution.
Liu Lang actually admired these big guys of the Republic of China. Because he knew the history, he made such a choice without hesitation. However, they all had disputes with the bald big guys when they unified China.
They also made the most correct choice that history has proven. I am afraid that at this time, they were not just because of the correctness of their political vision! The huge pressure brought by the Japanese should also be a very important reason. They also did not want to become a national
There are famous criminals in history.
Of course, there are also those who take advantage of the opportunity to expand their own interests. For example, Han from Shandong simply did not issue a statement, but instead sent a coded message. Such an unlucky person, who was not considered unlucky, became the top general who was shot for his knowledge of war.
, it’s not surprising. If you want to fish in troubled waters but have no vision, who can blame you?
Under the mediation of all parties, the bald man was forced to accept the idea of "stopping the civil war and uniting against Japan" and was personally escorted back to Nanjing by Marshal Zhang.
The Xi'an Incident finally ended peacefully, and the bald principal also gave up his policy of "stabilizing the inside and resisting the outside world." The Kuomintang and the Red Party cooperated for the second time to establish an anti-Japanese united front and unanimously deal with the outside world.
Finally, a few days before China entered 1937, there was no longer a war in the country. All Chinese people turned their attention to the north of China, where hundreds of thousands of Japanese invaders were watching.
Although the Japanese are not completely ready, the establishment of the united front of the two parties in China has also put pressure on them, and the war must be brought forward.
