Section 6 Nanjing Opera (3)
As soon as Soong Mei-ling and his group stopped in the courtyard of Qilu, Huang Renlin came up and opened the car door. After Soong Mei-ling came out, he whispered: "Liu Xiang, Sichuan, Li Liejun, Yunnan, and Yang Yongtai, Chongqing, came to support his wife's proposal."
Soong Mei-ling glanced at him slightly, then turned her head and said to Soong Ziwen: "It seems you are right."
There was no smile on Song Ziwen's face, or even comforting. He said with some concern: "I'm worried that Blue Yishe and He Yingqin will make small moves. They are very popular now."
When it comes to Blue-Clothing Society, Soong Mei-ling is a little embarrassed. She doesn't know how to deal with this organization. This organization is not a government agency, but it surpasses the government agency. Only Chiang Kai-shek can manage it. The things in the morning have proved that she can't control them.
Seeing Soong Mei-ling’s embarrassment, Soong Ziwen comforted her and said, “Maybe I’m too worried. Junshan and the others are Jieshi’s students after all, and maybe they are just young and reckless.”
Soong Mei-ling shook her head lightly. He didn't believe in the young and recklessness at all. Zhuang Jihua was about the same age as them, but his attitude was completely different from them. To this day, the southwest did not make any strange noises. Zhuang Jihua would say whatever the generals in the southwest were. When Zhuang Jihua went to Sichuan, Chiang Kai-shek proudly told her that Sichuan would take it down soon. He didn't believe it yet. Now it seems that he is still aware of people and knows it.
However, Song Ziwen still had the smile on the corner of He Zhonghan's mouth flashing in his mind. What did he mean? I would be more relieved or disdainful. Let's talk about it tomorrow.
"Mrs. Sun called from Shanghai. She wanted to take a plane to Xi'an and persuade Zhang Yang to release the chairman back." Huang Renlin continued.
"What did you say?" Soong Mei-ling was surprised and happy. Soong Ching Ling's actions were completely beyond her expectations. When she went to find Soong Ching Ling, she was a little sick and rushed to seek medical treatment, and there was also a tacit consensus. Soong Ching Ling had connections with ** and even had a connection with Communist International. The reason for looking for her was that she hoped that she could bring her messages to ** or Communist International, hoping to resolve the Xi'an Incident peacefully.
"That's great," Soong Mei-ling couldn't help but shout, "Prepare a plane for her second sister right away."
Song Ziwen hesitated and was about to speak, but Huang Renlin whispered: "Madam, this matter is more cautious."
Soong Mei-ling turned her head to look at him. Huang Renlin carefully said: "Zhang Yang will definitely not release the Chairman unconditionally. The Chairman has always been dissatisfied with Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun went to Xi'an. Chairman... If you can get in touch, Mr. Duanna is the best candidate. He can gain the trust of both the Chairman and Zhang Xueliang. And once Mrs. Sun goes over, Zhang Yang will use Mrs. Sun's reputation... In the future... This is my family's opinion. Let's make the decision."
Huang Renlin was hesitant and understood. Huang Renlin was right. Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng would never release Chiang Kai-shek unconditionally. Soong Ching-ling would not convince Zhang Yang. Otherwise, why would Zhang Yang explain to his subordinates? Soong Ching-ling was definitely not the best candidate to coordinate both sides. Chiang Kai-shek did not trust her at all. The greater danger was that if Zhang Yang and ** used Soong Ching-ling and nodded a chairman like the Nanchang Mutiny, things would be even harder to control.
"Renlin is right. Instead of letting his second sister go, it is better to let Duanna go." Song Ziwen immediately understood Huang Renlin's good intentions and immediately expressed his support.
"How do you reply?" Soong Mei-ling was a little embarrassed. Soong Ziwen said without hesitation: "I'll call my second sister. You don't care about this."
However, the Song brothers and sisters miscalculated this time. They forgot the tacit thing. Soong Ching Ling went to Xi'an for sure for a reason. The tacit thing existed. She resigned must have some instructions.
The night once again enveloped Nanjing City. Xiang failed. The incident broke out forty-eight hours. The government was stalemate between war and harmony. He Zhonghan decided to take a key step. An order was issued from Chaotian Palace. Wuhan, Kaifeng, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Peking. A blue-clothed society led the landlord war to break out across the country.
On December 14, all walks of life across the country began to respond, shocked by the Xi'an Incident. After the Ta Kung Pao was the first to report on the news that Chiang Kai-shek was detained, the editor-in-chief Zhang Jiluan took the lead in proposing the idea of a peaceful resolution of the Xi'an Incident. In his article "After the Xi'an Incident" that day, he publicly asked the Northeast Army's Northwest Army generals to apologize to Chiang Kai-shek, immediately restore Chiang Kai-shek's freedom, and demanded that the central government restrain himself and not start the war.
As soon as Zhang Jiluan's article was published, he immediately received support from Soong Mei-ling and Kong Xiangxi. Kong Xiangxi ordered a copy of the Ta Kung Revenge of the day, and Soong Mei-ling sent the air force to drop it over Xi'an.
Peking University President Jiang Menglin and others publicly criticized Zhang Xueliang. At that time, Dr. Hu Shi wrote an article "Rebellious Zhang Xueliang" and called on the whole country to oppose Zhang Xueliang; the famous historian Fu Sinian made a rare insulting attack on Zhang Xueliang, saying that he "was quite like a bandit in his work."
Zhu Ziqing, Wen Yiduo, Feng Youlan and others issued the "Tsinghua University Professors' Association's Rebellion for Zhang Xueliang", condemning Zhang Xueliang for "fake the good reputation of resisting Japan, summoning the real disaster of the country's destruction, destroying unity, and making a clear crime."
Voices from countries around the world have also appeared. In addition to Japan's silent silence, Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union unanimously opposed Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. Italian Foreign Minister Ziano called Zhang Xueliang and said: "It should be noted that if the Republic of China does not have General Chiang Kai-shek, it will be difficult to survive on its own." The Soviet Union's "Pertuosity" publicly accused Zhang Yang of his actions in an editorial "the purpose is to prevent China from unification, saying: "Imperialism may not agree to China's replacement of Chiang Kai-shek" and "the conspiracy of Japanese imperialism during the Xi'an Incident." Soviet Russia's remarks greatly encouraged Soong Mei-ling and others.
But then, things began to go against each other. Wuhan held a large-scale demonstration and march, requiring the central government to attack Zhang Yang by force. Wuhan Guard Command ordered martial law throughout the city. Yu Jishi, Ding Bingquan led the 28 generals from Hubei to send a telegram, demanding that the army of rebellion be quickly formed, and the Hubei army was ready to go to the central government's orders at any time. 100,000 people in Wuhan held a demonstration and march, demanding that Xi'an be immediately attacked. Wuhan Blue Clothing Club issued a statement to form a group to rescue the country and seek rebellion to the troubled difficulties, and went to the front line of Shaanxi at its own expense. There were many people responding at the moment, resulting in a serious obstruction of Wuhan Railway Station.
Then Wuhu urgent power was issued, and all sectors of Wuhu society issued a power nationwide, requiring the central government to quickly quell the rebellion in Xi'an; Guangzhou urgent power was suspended, and all students took to the streets; from Peking, Fuzhou, Wuhan, and Guangzhou, electricity was issued one by one, and the wave of protests swept across the country to tilt the balance of Dingjiaqiao towards the main battle.
In the afternoon, a larger wave of main battles began in Nanjing. More than 700 subordinate officers of Nanjing garrison gathered in Nanjing. They lined up in an orderly manner, held high flags to challenge the enemy to the difficulties, walked through the main streets of Nanjing, and then submitted a letter of request to the Ministry of Military Affairs, a letter of request to the blood.
These young soldiers shocked Nanjing, the Nanjing Women's Association, the naval officers and soldiers, the Nanjing press, the Nanjing education, and the Nanjing business circles, and all sent telegrams to attack Xi'an. The next day, the 50,000 Nanjing Boy Scouts announced the formation of a "Debate of Zhang Service Group". The government agencies and groups with tens of thousands of walls in the city of Nanjing began to prepare for the "Debate of Zhang Jingshen Conference" and organized 200,000 people to go to the battlefield in Shaanxi.
The electricity was striking Dingjiaqiao and Qilu. Soong Mei-ling and Soong Ziwen were anxious. Zhang Xueliang called on the 14th to agree to Duanna to go to Xi'an. Duanna flew to Xi'an that day, but no news has been heard back yet.
A black Mercedes-Benz car stopped in the yard of Qiludi, and a seat was pushed out of the car. Zhang Jingjiang slowly got out of the car, and the servant pushed him to the door.
"Mr. Jingjiang, what should I do now?" Soong Mei-ling grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly came over when she saw Zhang Jingjiang.
"Madam, don't be anxious," Zhang Jingjiang said lightly: "Things are not broken to that point."
Song Ziwen smiled bitterly. Zhang Jingjiang seemed to be so calm forever, but it was worthy of Chiang Kai-shek to come. Chiang Kai-shek had waived him as the chairman of Zhejiang Province and left him idle, almost letting him withdraw from politics, but he still came today.
"The Shanghai business community will issue a power supply, led by Adei, including banks and major people from the business community, to support his wife in the peaceful resolution of the Xi'an Incident." Zhang Jingjiang's words were very calm, but Soong Mei-ling knew the reason why Zhang Jingjiang arrived today.
After receiving a telegram from Zhuang Jihua on the 12th, Zhang Jingjiang immediately contacted Yu Qiaqing. They agreed to keep pace with Zhuang Jihua. The two of them contacted the leading figures in the industry and business circles separately. The Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Zhang Jingjiang and Yu Qiaqing joined forces to act, including Du Yuesheng, had to retreat. The Shanghai business and commercial press immediately took action, and the newspaper was filled with calls for a peaceful resolution. The rare pro-Cheng in "Shen Bao" shocked the cultural circle.
"As long as the wife says, the Shanghai Banking Association will reject government debts and cut off He Yingqin's military expenses." Zhang Jingjiang's expression was still calm, but his tone was very proud. However, Song Ziwen knew that Zhang Jingjiang had this ability. In recent years, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China issued loans in Shanghai up to 100 million silver dollars, and merged three Shanghai banks. In addition, at least seven banks supported him to overcome the financial difficulties of the past year.
"Not yet. The order of siege has not been issued yet. There is no need to tear the face yet," Song Ziwen interrupted gratefully. Now, with the three major banks in China, transportation and agriculture controlled by him and the Kong family, the lifeblood of China's finance has been controlled by the Lord and the Peace Sect.
"The problem now is the Blue Clothes Society." Soong Mei-ling had a headache when she mentioned this organization. The origin of this wave of proposition was that they knew it completely, but they just couldn't control it.
