    Chapter 377 Mediation of the Xi¡¯an Incident

    Tang Qiuli is not saying anything. One person cannot do everything, leaving ample space and room for others to play. The backbone has been established. Let the Standing Committee members play their role in the details.

    These members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China were all rushing to speak very actively. Perhaps in order to make up for their mistakes just now, they tried their best to show themselves in front of Soong Meiling, trying to restore the negative impact just now. They racked their brains and offered suggestions one after another. Only He Yingqin looked expressionless.  Without saying a word, Soong Meiling listened carefully and magnanimously, showing the magnanimity that the first lady of the Republic of China should have.

    Mei Ting embraced Tang Qiuli tightly with a gesture of greeting a hero, regardless of the fact that it was in public. Just now, Tang Qiuli's grace on the stage dazzled Mei Ting. At this time, he  He exists in Mei Ting's heart like a god.

    Tang Qiuli was still concerned about the occasion and whispered in Mei Ting's ear: "Silly girl, so many people are looking at us." Indeed, he felt two very powerful eyes on his back.

    He turned around, and the smiling Soong Meiling faced him calmly, her eyes full of appreciation and meaningful kindness. Tang Qiuli's face turned red for no reason. The lethality of the First Lady of the Republic of China was indeed powerful.

    Mei Ting reluctantly left his strong embrace, raised her flower-like face, and looked at her lover carefully, as if she wanted to find out what was different from other people in him, which made Tang Qiuli feel scared.

    The Central Standing Committee meeting finally decided to abandon the proposal of armed crusade and send a special envoy to contact Zhang Yang to seek a peaceful solution.

    Composed of Song Meiling, Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi, Tang Qiuli and other 27 members of the Central Standing Committee, the Xi'an Incident Decision-making Committee was authorized by the Central Standing Committee to exercise full power to rescue Chairman Chiang and be responsible for specific matters, all to ensure Chairman Chiang's safety.  Life safety comes first.

    He Yingqin was excluded from the decision-making committee. At this time, he no longer had any capital to call the battle. The Central Standing Committee meeting was a complete failure, and his ambitions were exposed. The Minister of Military and Political Affairs could not command the troops of the Northwest Suppression General, and he had no available troops.  I am really alone and in a miserable situation.

    At the subsequent plenary meeting of the decision-making committee for the Xi'an Incident, Tang Qiuli requested not to participate in the specific implementation process on the grounds that he was young, had insufficient moral authority, and lacked experience. No one was willing to let him go. Finally, Tang Qiuli was given full command.  All *** troops focus on military affairs.

    This time, Tang Qiuli was promoted again. His current position is equivalent to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Republic of China. In theory, he can mobilize all the troops. In fact, the most important thing is to control the troops of the Northwest Suppression General.

    After the Central Standing Committee meeting made a decision, the Xi'an Incident Decision-making Committee stepped up its action and decided to send its first special envoy to Xi'an to have face-to-face actual contact with Zhang Yang to see what kind of demands and conditions they put forward before making a decision.

    Australian national Duan Na was selected as the best candidate for the special envoy. This journalist was born in New South Wales, Australia, and his life career was in China. He once sponsored China's Revolution of 1911 and later became a member of the Beiyang Government in Beijing.  Guest Qing was once invited by Zhang Zuolin to serve as an adviser to Zhang Zuolin and his son and participate in planning international affairs.

    He had a close personal relationship with the then Marshal Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang¡¯s fluent English was due to Tuanna¡¯s tireless teachings. Later, when Marshal Zhang changed his banner in the Northeast, Duanna entered the Nanjing National Government and participated in the Central Committee. As Chairman of Chiang Kai-shek  A political advisor and a good friend of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, he had a close personal relationship.

    Having this person as the special envoy is the most suitable. After telegraphing Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueliang also expressed that he very welcome Duan Na to come to Xi'an to discuss a proper solution to the Xi'an Incident.

    Immediately, Duana flew to Xi'an as a political adviser to the Nanjing National Government and was solemnly welcomed by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. Duana brought a proposal for the Nanjing government to consult Zhang Yang's conditions, and informed Zhang Yang that the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had established a special committee to solve the problem.  The decision-making committee of the Xi'an Incident and provided a list of committee members.

    Knowing that Brother Qiu Li was among them and was responsible for the military power, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were completely relieved. They no longer had to worry about war with the Central Army. With Brother Qiu Li in the middle, they could not start a fight.

    In order to achieve today's results, Brother Qiu Li must have worked hard to sit down and talk with Nanjing and Xi'an. From Duanna's few words, we can imagine that of course the dangerous situation at the Central Standing Committee meeting made Zhang and Yang very worried.  Grateful, no one wants to see a situation where they both die together, even though the two of them are ready for a fight and are secretly grateful to have such a close friend.

    Duanna proposed to meet Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Yang readily agreed, and was personally accompanied by Zhang Xueliang.

    After Duanna saw Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, he presented him with aMrs. Chiang wrote a letter in her own hand. There was a sentence in the letter: "Nowadays, Nanjing is a drama within a drama, and there are many people who kill with borrowed knives." After reading the letter from his wife, Chairman Chiang remained silent and sat in silence for a long time.

    With his shrewdness, it was not difficult to guess that it was the one who was jumping up and down, gloating and impatient, the one who hoped that he would die at the hands of Zhang Yang. As mentioned in the lady's letter, Tang Qiuli tried his best to turn the tide and save the situation from collapse.  Chairman Chiang was extremely moved by the situation of today's negotiations.

    At the beginning, he tried his best to promote Tang Qiuli and entrust him with high-ranking officials. The purpose was to win Tang Qiuli's heart. He was interested in the strength behind him and was afraid that he would be won over by others. Now it seems that he was unintentional.

    At the most critical moment, he did not expect that it was Tang Qiuli who directly saved his life. Chairman Chiang lamented that fate had played a trick on people, and a weak young man turned out to be the pillar of the party and state. After that, Tang Qiuli became the pillar of the party and state.  In his heart, he regarded him as a person who could be reused throughout his life. Tang Qiuli made every request he made, and he gave it twice as much. His favor increased to the level of doting.

    The door to negotiation is now open. If everything follows this idea, the day will come true.

    The leaders of the Communist Party of China, who paid close attention to the Xi'an Incident, made the most active preparations. They moved the main force of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi to the vicinity of Xi'an, preparing to join the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army to fight against the 300,000-strong Central Army.

    On the second day after the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng called the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and asked the Communist Party of China to send a delegation to Xi'an to jointly study the aftermath of the Xi'an Incident and discuss plans to resist Japan and save the nation.

    Leaders of the Communist Party who are good at using power and planning immediately saw keenly that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was the best opportunity to turn the government from illegal to legal, from underground to above ground. They could openly propose it.  The political proposition of "stop the civil war and turn the gun on the outside".

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:

    With the political maturity and political combat effectiveness of the Communist Party, if a seed is dropped, it can grow into a towering tree, and if a seed is dropped, it can cover the entire mountain. This historical opportunity provides opportunities for the Communist Party and the Communist Party who are regarded as bandits.  The Red Army has the opportunity to enter the political arena and play the leading role.

    On December 12, 1936, in Xi'an, an ancient city in northwest China, by the Huaqing Pool at the foot of Lintong Li Mountain, Zhang Yang fired a gunshot, and the door of opportunity suddenly opened for the Communist Party, and it could never be closed again.  , and finally got the country.

    There was no objection within the Kuomintang to sending a delegation to Xi'an to discuss plans with Zhang Yang and form a united front. However, there were two distinct opinions within the Kuomintang about how to deal with the detained Chairman Chiang.  .

    One opinion is that Chiang is the actual leader of the Republic of China, and there are many factions within the Communist Party. Once Chiang, a heavyweight, is lost, the various factions will inevitably start a dispute for the supreme leadership of the National Government.

    With the civil war, the country became torn apart. The only thing that was damaged was China's national defense and the Japanese. Among other things, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi of the New Guangxi clique, Yan Xishan of Shanxi, and Liu Liu in Sichuan.  Hunan, all have this strength, and even Tang Qiuli of Pingjin, who is currently at peace with us and living peacefully with us, has the possibility of competing for the supreme leadership.

    "If Tang Qiuli, who was far away in Nanjing, knew that among the senior cadres of the Communist Party of China, there were people who looked at him like this, he would definitely feel sour and smile bitterly.

    Another opinion is that Jiang should be handed over to the people for public trial and sentenced to death. In the ten years of civil war, he, old Jiang, killed so many communists, how many Red Army soldiers and their relatives, Jiang¡¯s hands were stained with  He drank the blood of the Japanese. No one here has a blood feud with him.

    Now, the opportunity has come. Chiang Kai-shek falls into the hands of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, who have good relations with us. What's more, once Chiang Kai-shek dies, the power of the Communist Party will fall apart, which will be more conducive to the Red Army getting rid of the current situation.

    However, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai considered the problem from a higher perspective and perspective. At present, our main enemy is no longer Chiang Kai-shek and his army, but Japanese imperialism, which is full of ambitions to subdue China.

    Once Chiang Kai-shek died, the Communist Party of China was torn apart. The Communist Party of China and the Red Army of the Communist Party of China would be unable to resist the Japanese invaders on their own.  The fate of ultimate destruction.

    ¡°I sincerely admire the first generation of leaders of the Communist Party of China. They were able to put aside personal and partisan grievances and put the interests of the country and the nation first. This kind of mind and wisdom was indeed unmatched by any political party at the time.

    The first wife of the leader of the Communist Party of China, Ms. Yang Kaihui, was killed by Chairman Chiang¡¯s men. In the words of the great man later??: "How dare you use personal grudges to harm the interests of the country and the nation!"

    On December 17, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Council of Ministers Stalin, through the Eastern Department of the Comintern, instructed the Communist Party to take into account that Chiang Kai-shek may become an important leader of China's anti-Japanese forces in the future and hope that the Communist Party of China will start from China's actual situation.  Taking into account the situation, weighing the pros and cons, he sent Chiang to return to Nanjing, and Mao Zedong replied by phone, deciding to obey the instructions of the Communist International.

    The internal debate within the Communist Party over whether to release or kill Chiang came to an abrupt end, and a unified opinion was formed, and a Communist delegation was formed to go to Xi'an to release Chiang under conditions.

    So Zhou Enlai, then Vice Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Chief of General Staff of the Communist Red Army, led a Communist Party delegation consisting of Ye Jianying and Qin Bangxian to go to Xi'an to assist Zhang Yang in handling the aftermath of the Xi'an Incident.

    With the participation of a very mature political party, and Zhou Enlai, who had extraordinary abilities, took on this important task, the Xi'an Incident immediately embarked on the path of rapid resolution, and finally reached an agreement that was satisfactory to all parties.
