    Chapter 391: Coping with the Crisis

    Just last night, Tang Qiuli sent a telegram to Brother Qiu Sheng of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone, ordering the mobile corps of the Dingbian Garrison Area, led by Brother Qiu Sheng, with a force of 30,000 people to quickly drive into Xi'an overnight and control the  situation, stop the mutiny, and if obstruction is encountered and dissuasion fails, disarm on the spot and, if necessary, annihilate them on the spot.

    At the same time, in the name of Chairman of the Northern Army Branch of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater Command, he sent stern telegrams to the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army, strictly ordering all departments to station themselves on the spot and wait for his arrival.  No further disputes are allowed. Anyone who disobeys orders will be subject to military law and will be severely punished.

    Tang Qiuli had no choice but to do this. The city of Xi'an was in chaos. The forces of the two parties and three factions were like red-eyed bulls. They refused to give in. They were fighting against each other and fighting against each other. The Northeast Army and the Seventeenth Route Army  The two brothers who fought side by side turned against each other because of the departure of their respective leaders. They blamed each other and gradually became incompatible.

    Last night, the Military Command Xi'an Work Station sent back the second information. At about 8 o'clock last night, Liu Duoquan, the commander of the 105th Division and the close friend of Wang Yizhe, the commander of the 67th Army who was shot dead by an officer of the Young Zhuang Faction, wanted to avenge his close friend Wang Yizhe.  , sent troops into Xi'an to search for young officers.

    At about ten o'clock that night, Liu Duoquan trapped and killed Gao Fuyuan, the 37th brigade commander and one of the core officers of the Young Zhuang faction, in the name of convening a reconciliation meeting. The tragedy of massacres within the Northeast Army became more and more intense, causing the temporarily calm situation in Xi'an to suddenly become tense.  stand up.

    Immediately, officers from the Young Zhuang faction mobilized their troops and surrounded the troops of the 105th Division in the city. The two sides were in a stalemate, and exchanges of fire occasionally occurred.

    His orders were not strictly followed. At least Liu Duoquan, the commander of the 105th Division, openly disobeyed his orders. He did such a serious thing even after receiving his own strict orders not to cause any further conflicts. What was his purpose?  ?  Is it just to avenge Wang Yizhe?

    There seems to be a pair of black hands manipulating the whole mutiny incident, and who are the forces behind these black hands coming from?

    The purpose of the Dingbian Mobile Corps entering Xi'an is to establish a buffer zone between the conflicting parties and prevent them from direct contact. It is best not to engage in firefights with the Northeastern Army or the 17th Route Army. In that case, the situation will be more complicated.  It is also difficult for the ** division to maintain a neutral attitude.

    I believe that Brother Qiu Sheng can handle this matter well. On the plane, Tang Qiuli carefully considered the entire emergency. He vaguely felt that it was not as simple as an internal conflict in the Northeast Army. However, his head was spinning.  But there is no complete clue.

    It was the first time for Mei Ting and Hashan Hu to see Tang Qiuli so worried. She couldn't help but worry about him, but she didn't dare to disturb him and could only sit aside silently.

    The plane landed at Xi'an Airport, which was controlled by the Dingbian Mobile Corps. As soon as I got off the plane, I felt the tense atmosphere. Although the airport was in the suburbs, I could still vaguely hear sporadic gunshots coming from the city.

    Qiu Sheng came to greet him and briefly introduced him to the current situation in Xi'an.

    The Dingbian Mobile Corps entered the city of Xi'an yesterday evening, and then quickly occupied various traffic arteries and key locations, and initially established an isolation zone between the parties to the conflict.

    However, the troops of the Northeastern Army and the Seventeenth Route Army in the city continued to attack the isolation area. Liu Duoquan's troops of the 105th Division were the most obvious. After being blocked, they actually opened fire on our troops, causing many  Soldiers were injured.

    Under Qiu Sheng's strict orders, the troops of the Dingbian Mobile Corps maintained great restraint and never fired back. After a stern warning, the various rioting troops retreated. Now, the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army  There are more than 40,000 troops in Xi'an city. There are no signs of other troops approaching nearby. The situation in Xi'an city is generally under my control.

    Immediately, the army formed the Xi'an Guard, and deployed additional guard troops in important financial, commercial, government agencies, and schools. They also captured many rioters who took advantage of the chaos to rape women and rob banks, shops, and houses.

    Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the situation didn't get out of control, Brother Qiu Sheng was awesome. Xi'an was a mess and he was forced to sort it out. These troops of the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army were like running wild.  The wild horses act as they please, without any regard for the consequences, and are extremely harmful. If not solved as soon as possible, they will become a disaster.

    He also recalled what Zhang Xueliang had said to him in the Nanjing Soldiers' Reflection Institute. Six years had passed since the September 18th Incident. There was no hope of recovering the Northeast. The Northeast Army was now a trapped beast. The evil that lurked in his heart  This kind of despair could break out at any time. My being detained in Nanjing by Chairman Chiang was just a direct inducement.

    Qiu Li, we must let the Northeast Army appear where they are willing to bleed.Otherwise, if the situation becomes turbulent and eventually turns into a rebellion, endangering one side, how can I, Zhang Hanqing, face the 30 million fellows from the Northeast, whose children I brought out!

    Tang Qiuli could not forget Zhang Xueliang's situation at that time. He was helpless and heartbroken. Yes, there was only deep helplessness and heartbreak.

    Tang Qiuli was overjoyed to learn that the ** delegation had not yet left Xi'an. This was a big help. I was afraid that the **'s Duke Zhou had a higher prestige in the Northeast Army than himself. He immediately drove to the ** delegation.  He went to the regiment station to visit his idol Zhou Enlai.

    The car passed through Xi'an Market. The usually bustling streets were now deserted. Fortifications made of sandbags could be seen everywhere. Behind them were soldiers with guns and live ammunition. They were surprised to see the convoy passing by quickly. The barbed wire fences blocked the wide streets.  It is divided into fragmented narrow streets, and the buildings still emitting lingering smoke tell the story of past experiences. From time to time, deep craters and shell casings can be seen on the streets, indicating that fierce battles have taken place here.

    This section of the journey was not under the control of the ** division. All the soldiers of the special guard were highly nervous, loaded with bullets, and watched the surrounding movements vigilantly. Two tall and strong soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, formed human flesh for the division commander.  Shield, Shan Hu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, even extended the heavy machine gun out of the window, ready to fire at any time.

    No one can guarantee that the rebels shot at the convoy. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened along the way. The Dingbian Mobile Corps entered Xi'an, which created a certain deterrent effect on the rebels.

    ??The security personnel at the ** delegation station saw such a huge convoy and stopped at the door. They immediately raised their guns nervously. Last night, a rebel army attacked the ** delegation station, killing three guards.

    After the announcement, they found out that a big shot was visiting. After Tang Qiuli entered the hall, Duke Zhou quickly greeted him. He had already known about this second-largest figure in the National Government from major newspapers and was very surprised.  young.

    Tang Qiuli did not dare to have the slightest arrogance towards this great man. His noble character, majestic character, and unparalleled achievements have long been listed in the annals of history. His kindness is still benefiting the land of China.

    Tang Qiuli saluted solemnly, and Duke Zhou smiled. It was not the proud smile, but the knowing smile that old friends would have after meeting each other, as warm as the spring breeze.

    Time was running out and the matter was critical. The two of them immediately got to the point. Tang Qiuli and Zhou Gong had surprisingly consistent judgments. They both concluded that there must be someone behind the scenes who was behind this mutiny.

    On the surface, the cause of the incident was that after Zhang Xueliang was detained in Nanjing, there were serious disagreements within the Northeastern Army on how to rescue Zhang Xueliang. Both sides were unwilling to give up their own ideas, which intensified the conflict and eventually led to the tragedy.  .

    The young officers of the Northeastern Army advocated the use of force to rescue the young commander. The entire army immediately left Xi'an and approached Nanjing, causing the army to press the border. When the troops came to the city, he had to let someone go or not, otherwise he had to let someone go.  , broke into Nanjing City and captured Jiang Mou alive.

    "The elders of the Northeast Army, including Wang Yizhe, commander of the Sixty-seventh Army, Xu Fang, director of the General Staff Department of the Northeast Army Headquarters, Song Xueli, deputy director, and Jiang Bin, director of the Communications Department, did not agree with the Young Zhuang Faction at all.

    The current situation of the young marshal is so similar to that of Mr. Jiang back then. We are wary. What should we do if Mr. Jiang threatens the life of the young marshal?  That put the young marshal in a dangerous situation, which was equivalent to indirectly killing the young marshal.

    What¡¯s more, Tang Qiuli, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression, has 300,000 Central Army troops in Henan, blocking our eastward passage to Nanjing. Can he let us attack Nanjing?  Do you know if there are so many troops to monitor our Northeastern Army?

    Young people act without consideration and are too impulsive. They can only spoil big things by relying on their own will. To rescue the young commander, the solution can only be solved politically, and resorting to force is absolutely unacceptable. The opinions of both parties are at a stalemate.  No one can convince anyone here.

    The Young Faction intends to act alone, but the military command power is in the hands of the Elder Faction. The number of troops they can mobilize is pitiful. Anger burns uncontrollably in the hearts of these Young Faction officers. They believe that there is no way to rescue these old men.  What the young marshal meant was that he was afraid of losing his official position and his own head.

    On the evening of February 2, young officers Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, Sun Mingjiu, Gao Fuyuan and others from the Young Faction came to the Northeast Army Headquarters again, preparing for a showdown with the veteran Faction Wang Yizhe and others, forcing them to agree to send troops.

    There was a fierce quarrel between the two sides. Then, Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu and others, who could not hold back their anger, suddenly drew their guns and shot, killing Wang Yizhe and others on the spot, which finally led to a tragedy.

    Immediately, the Northeastern Army split rapidly, and the veteran faction launched a counterattack. Liu Duoquan, commander of the 105th Division, trapped and killed Gao Fuyuan and others, the two sides launched a brutal vendetta, and the city of Xi'an fell into turmoil and chaos.

    The officers and soldiers of the 17th Route Army are full of resentment towards the Northeastern Army. If you, Marshal Zhang, had not strongly advocated arresting Jiang, our 17th Route Army would not have followed. Marshal Zhang sent old Jiang back to Nanjing.  , gone forever, and our Director Yang was forced to go abroad as a result. All of this is the result of your Northeast Army.

    As a result, the contradictions between the two armies and the three parties became more and more serious and gradually became intensified.

    After understanding the cause of the mutiny, Tang Qiuli and Zhou Gong discussed countermeasures and decided that Zhou Gong would use his identity to persuade the generals of the two armies.

    Tang Qiuli's troops are responsible for maintaining social security in Xi'an, controlling the two armies, and finding out the mastermind behind the scenes.

    The plan was decided and the two began to act separately.
