Zhuang Jihua went back and told Soong Mei-ling the consensus reached between him and He Yingqin. Soong Mei-ling was a little relieved, but she was still worried that He Yingqin would play tricks secretly. But then He Zhonghan "forced the palace" and demanded the establishment of a "Blue-clothed Army" to find He Yingqin's scolding news came. Zhuang Jihua and Soong Mei-ling were both very excited, so she believed that He Yingqin's attitude had changed.

"Teacher He now understands that he cannot replace the principal. He Zhonghan shot himself in the foot." Zhuang Jihua said to Soong Mei-ling lightly: "However, Master's wife, Teacher He's words are still reasonable. If you want to solve the Xi'an Incident, you can only use both soft and hard skills. Master's wife persuades the army outside the city, and only in this way can the principal be rescued at the lowest cost."

Soong Mei-ling breathed a sigh of relief, and she finally saw a glimmer of hope that Chiang Kai-shek would come back. Then Zhang Jingjiang heard good news again, Dai Ji-tao Juzheng's attitude softened and no longer insisted on quelling the rebellion by force. Soong Mei-ling immediately attracted Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi to discuss and decided to provide He Yingqin with 100,000 French currency sufficient for military expenses to combat the rebels.

The situation in Nanjing soon spread to Xi'an, causing a huge shock among the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army. Some Northeast Army and Northwest Army officers talked a lot, accusing Zhang Xueliang of bringing them into danger. Yu Xuezhong called from Lanzhou and the Gansu garrison showed signs of instability, and two regiments stationed in Gannan rebelled. Zhang Xueliang was extremely anxious when he heard the news and had to ask Zeng Kuang to come out for a public broadcast, telling Nanjing Chiang Kai-shek was still alive, and called on Nanjing to act cautiously and not provoke civil war.

On the 18th, Song Xilian's troops entered the suburbs of Nanjing. He Zhonghan went to visit him with great joy, but unexpectedly, Song Xilian clearly told him that he supported the strategy of peaceful resolution of the Xi'an Incident, and He Zhonghan returned in disappointment.

But He Zhonghan did not give up. He continued to put pressure on He Yingqin. On the 18th, 800 officers in Nanjing City petitioned the Ministry of Military Affairs and asked to form a rebel army and head to the front line of the Weishui River. The Nanjing Boy Scouts' Rebellion to the Difficult continued to hold marches and demonstrations, demanding that the Xi'an rebellion be quelled as soon as possible and the press inspection office headed by Zhang Yang. He Zhonghan banned all the lords and remarks, and the newspaper was filled with the sound of the main battle at the top of his lungs.

On the 17th, Xi'an was filled with snow and snow. Jiang Jianren commanded the Luoyang Air Force to launch a bombing of Weinan and Huaxian. The next day, the scope of the air force bombing expanded to Huashan and Pinghan Railway.

The dark muzzle pointed directly to the other side, and the muzzle flashed in the snow light. On the 18th, the teaching team arrived in Chishui, and tens of thousands of brave men were lined up on the banks of the Chishui River, ready to cross the river at all times and headed straight to Xi'an.

The war promoted by the Blue Clothes Society seemed to be getting closer and closer. Nanjing and Xi'an held their breath, and it seemed that nothing could be changed. He Yingqin gave only one day left. But at this time, a plane landed in Luoyang, and Jiang Dingwen, the captured land in the incident, flew back to Luoyang from Xi'an. He brought Chiang Kai-shek's handwritten letter and order. In the letter, Chiang Kai-shek ordered "Don't initiate a conflict and stop bombing Xi'an."

The news brought by Jiang Dingwen played a key role in the change in attitude of the Central Committee members of the Joint Conference. Soong Mei-ling found that the Central Committee members were respectful to her and was back. The joint meeting that day was headed by members of the CC Department. The Department of Political Science and Technology, most of the veterans in the former Xishan Conference school expressed their attitude and supported Soong Mei-ling to peacefully resolve the Xi'an Incident.

At the meeting, Song Ziwen proposed to enter Xi'an as a private person. After debate, he received support from most of the members, but was also limited. He could not negotiate in detail with Zhang Yang, and could only visit Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Yang's attitudes.

It turned out that He Yingqin and Dai Jitao, the two major flags that were in charge of the battle, remained silent and did not say a word. The flags that were in charge of the battle were carried by the Blue-Yi Society and Wang Jingwei factions, but their momentum was no longer as good as before. At this time, the Blue-Yi Society showed its weakness. The power at the top was too weak.

After the joint meeting, He Zhonghan, Deng Wenyi and others returned to Chaotian Palace for a meeting. Everyone was a little discouraged. Seeing everyone's appearance, He Zhonghan decided to cheer them up. He stood up and was about to say a few words, but Deng Wenyi stood up in front of him and said to everyone: "Everyone, we should abide by the principal's command, but it depends on the conditions. This command must be written under the pressure of Zhang Yang, and the principal left a clear hint. You see, the final signature is only. Rong Zhi, the principal has never signed it like this. Then there must be a deep meaning in it. I think this is what we want to continue to attack."

Chiang Kai-shek's handwriting was circulated in everyone's hands, and the signature attracted everyone's attention. Indeed, Chiang Kai-shek had never used such a signature, and everyone began to discuss it.

"What does the principal mean?"

"Rong Zhi, Rong means the army, the meaning of force; Zhi means the meaning of success and blessing. Does this mean that we hope our military operations will go smoothly?"

"Yes, that's right, that's what it means!"

People are accustomed to thinking that they are the most correct when they have opinions or differences, and that others are wrong. The angle and direction of thinking about problems are single, either right or wrong, and this is true in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. When they find that their behavior was deviated, the first thing they think of is not correction but cover up.^^^^ Now the people in the Blue Clothing Society have grasped this straw, and the military action has been forcibly explained that it is successful.

He Zhonghan immediately sublimated Deng Wenyi's discovery: "...The principal will never agree to stop the attack. Comrades, think about the principal's teachings to us. Will the principal surrender to Zhang Yang if he benefits the country's life and death? Absolutely not! This is the principal's secret instructions given to us by Zhang Yang in the urgent need of peace talks and Jiang Dingwen brought back to us in the warrant..."

He Zhonghan's speech was strong and powerful. Then he ordered the continued military operation to continue, ordering Gui Yongqing to launch an attack immediately and rush to the city of Xi'an within five days. Blue-clothed society organizations in various places continued to vigorously promote, causing widespread calls for siege and put pressure on the central government.

"He Jingzhi wants to retreat now," He Zhonghan felt deeply humiliated when he remembered the past world. He couldn't help but curse: "The matter of the new army must not be forgotten like this. For all unemployed students, we will first allocate part of the funds from the association. When the number is released, they will be our grassroots officers."

But what disappointed He Zhonghan was that He Yingqin's attitude was as always and he refused to let go. The development of the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable. Song Ziwen flew to Xi'an. Although the government claimed that this trip was purely private, it was not the case in the eyes of anyone with discerning eyes.

At night, Chaotian Palace held an emergency meeting, and three decisions were made at the meeting. First, the secret ordered Gui Yongqing to launch an attack immediately and attack Xi'an in the shortest time; second, the larger-scale intentional demonstrations were immediately in Nanjing, Wuhan, Shanghai and other places, and the intentional demonstrations in Nanjing were to submit a petition to Dingjiaqiao; third, the publicity efforts were strengthened, the basic tone, peace talks were betrayal, and they were traitors of the party and the country.

On the front line of the Wei River, the north wind rolled up snowflakes all over the sky and blew across the river. The bare ground was white. On both sides of the cold Wei River, two troops confronted each other across the river.

"On the other side are the two divisions of the Northeast Army Liu Duoquan and Miao Zhengliu." Chief of Staff Fu Zhao introduced to Gui Yongqing: "They deployed defense along the river and dispersed their troops, and could not stop our attack."

Fu Zhao's confidence makes sense. The equipment and training of the teaching corps are the best among the entire ** team. The eighteen tanks alone are rare in the country, including heavy artillery battalions, cavalry regiments, and anti-aircraft artillery battalions. The troops belonged to them were carefully trained by German consultants for several years, and are a demonstration unit of the country and cannot be resisted by the weak Northeast Army.

"We will cross the river from Qu'er," Gui Yongqing poked the dots on the map with his cane, his tone was cold. He, from yesterday to today, received two consecutive telegrams, asking him to attack immediately, and both asked him to fight fiercely, but the difference was that one letter asked him to temporarily stop the attack after entering Weinan and wait for orders; the other letter asked him to advance rapidly, heading straight to the city of Xi'an, and annihilate Zhang Yang in one fell swoop.

This difference made Gui Yongqing feel that there must have been changes in Nanjing and it also made him feel embarrassed. He tended to be the Blue-Clothing Society in his heart; but emotionally it made it difficult for him to disobey He Yingqin's order. But no matter what, it is definitely correct to fight to Weinan, so let's talk about it.

"Order to fire!"

With Gui Yongqing's fierce order, the shells accurately landed on the Northeast Army's position on the other shore, and bursts of smoke rose. Amid the sound of cannons, the first batch of ships full of soldiers began to sail to the other shore.

Hundreds of ships covered the river. The first wave of attacking regiment commander Zhou Zhenqiang invested most of the troops. The machine guns placed on the bow spewed out violent flames, and bullets passed by with the sound of wind. However, the soldiers looked down and rowed as if they had not seen or heard.

Before the ship landed, the impatient soldiers jumped into the cold river and launched an attack on the Northeast Army positions. The yellow uniforms quickly covered the beach, and the blue sky and white sun flag guided the soldiers forward quickly in the smoke of gunpowder.

In just half a day, the Northeast Army's defense line of Weihe River was completely broken. After crossing the river, Gui Yongqing rode his fiery red war horse bought from Germany. The battle situation of half a day told him that the Northeast Army was vulnerable at all. It was such a natural danger that it broke through after less than ten casualties.

"Order Zhou Zhenqiang and Hu Qiru to attack side by side, and order the cavalry regiment to detour to attack their rear. Order the engineering battalion speeds up the progress and set up the floating bridge."

Gui Yongqing's order was quickly executed, and Zhou Zhenqiang and Hu Qiru's two regiments advanced side by side. The Northeast Army was defeated like a mountain, so they could not catch up. If you have good luck, it was a cavalry regiment that detoured. After all, four legs were almost over two legs. They intercepted some of the defeated soldiers. These soldiers were completely resisting their will. Seeing that they could not run away, they knelt on the side of the road and surrendered.

"This is too fast," Gui Yongqing felt a little uneasy after only two hours. He was worried that this was a trick to lure the enemy. The two regiments were seriously out of touch with the corps. Their forwards were already twenty miles away: "Order them to stop the attack and wait for the follow-up troops."
