Anyone who refuses to listen to dissuasion and attempts to do evil will be shot without mercy! "
Meng Shaoyuan's first group has blocked all the peripheral roads that must be passed from Shanghai to Nanjing.
Loaded with live ammunition.
No one knew what happened, and no one dared to ask.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense.
A car coming out of Nanjing was stopped.
The driver got out of the car and said that the person in the car was the chairman of Hengyuan Company.
"Can't you understand people?" Zhao Changle now looks like a spy: "I told you, you are not allowed to go out or enter until the curfew is lifted!"
The rear door opened, and the chairman got out of the car, took out a pack of cigarettes and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work. My company in Shanghai really has an emergency..."
"Is it true that you can't understand people?" Meng Shaoyuan walked over with a gloomy face.
"Oh, sir." The chairman's eyes were good, and he could tell at a glance that Meng Shao was in charge of the command here: "I don't dare to stop official business. We are all our own people. My brother-in-law is in the city hall..."
"boom"!
At night, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
The chairman sat down on the ground.
Oh my god, the other party really shot.
And he also punctured the car's tires.
Meng Shaoyuan put away the gun: "Get out!"
Seeing the chairman rolling away with the help of the driver, Meng Shaoyuan directed people to move the car aside.
"Who are we waiting for?" Tian Qi approached and asked quietly.
Meng Shaoyuan looked to the side: "Madam."
"lady?"
"My wife will take a special car to return to Nanjing from Shanghai overnight. We are responsible for the safety of this section."
"problem occurs?"
"Stop asking so many questions."
After waiting anxiously for more than an hour, a convoy came far away.
As we drove closer, something suddenly happened.
The car at the front was turned off and motionless.
The road is narrow and can only accommodate one vehicle.
In front and behind, a large number of armed men with weapons immediately jumped out and closely monitored the surroundings.
"Over there, come here!"
A middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit got out of the stalled car and waved to Meng Shaoyuan: "Call your man to help push the car."
Yes, there is a gendarmerie guard nearby, and they themselves have so many manpower, but they can leave the hard work to agents like themselves?
Meng Shaoyuan did not dare to neglect, and while sending someone to push the cart, he went to drive the car parked not far away.
The car arrived and the stalled car was pushed to the side of the road.
Meng Shaoyuan got out of the car and hurried to the middle-aged man: "Let's drive away in our car."
The middle-aged man glanced at him: "Dai Li's people?"
Good guy, calling Dai Li by his first name is not polite at all.
"yes."
"May I have your name?"
"Meng Shaoyuan."
"I remember you and I will return the car to you."
The motorcade quickly roared away again...
In the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China, at 5 a.m. on December 12, 1936, the "Double Twelve Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries broke out.
Dai Li, who was in charge of intelligence work, did not get the conclusive news from Song Meiling, the wife of the Chairman of the Standing Committee, until that night. It was also the news that he was most afraid of:
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a mutiny, and the chairman of the committee was detained!
The intelligence agencies in Nanjing and Northwest China are in chaos!
That night, Soong Meiling rushed back to Nanjing from Shanghai overnight.
Among them, a small detail also happened.
The head car of Madame's convoy stalled.
A small agent named Meng Shaoyuan from the Lixing Society helped clear away the accident car and then lent his car to the captain of the guard, the wife of the envoy.
This is an insignificant drop of water in the mighty waves.
But no one knows what huge waves this insignificant drop of water will set off in the future with the help of this insignificant thing.
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng electrified the whole country:
"Reorganize the Nanjing government to accommodate all parties and factions and jointly take responsibility for saving the country; stop all civil wars; immediately release the patriotic leaders arrested in Shanghai; release all political prisoners across the country; open up the popular patriotic movement; guarantee all political freedoms of people's assembly and association; and truly abide by Premier Sun Yat-sen's Will; convene a national salvation conference immediately!"
At 23:30 on the night of the 12th, the Nanjing government held a joint meeting of the Central Standing Committee and the Central Political Conference, and decided to seize Zhang and Yang from their respective positions and hand them over to the Military Commission for strict handling.
The meeting finally decided to use both suppression and appeasement. On the one hand, He Yingqin was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, and on the other hand, Yu Youren was appointed as the ambassador of Xuanfu and Shaanxi-Gansu.
1 a.m. on the 13th.
Most of Meng Shaoyuan's subordinates will go to rest, and he is the only one who is still on duty in his office.
The office door opened, but there wasn't even a knock on the door.
There is only one person who can do this:
Dai Li!
"Director Dai!" Meng Shaoyuan stood up quickly.
"I saw...the light in your office was on..."
Dai Li's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.
This is completely the same person as the Dai Li I saw before.
The calm and cold Dai Yunong disappeared.
Meng Shaoyuan can completely understand.
After all, he and the chairman of the committee are both prosperous and disadvantaged. If something happens to the chairman, Dai Li's power will be suppressed and excluded by the CC faction, and it will really be doomed in the future.
Dai Li was facing none other than Zhang Xueliang. What things does Zhang Xueliang dare not do or cannot do?
But what about him? The person he wants to protect is the chairman of the committee, the number one figure in China, his own life protection and the life protection of the Dai family.
There is no denying that Dai Li is indeed powerful, but he is just a subordinate of the Chairman, one responsible for intelligence work.
The Double Twelve Incident was not something that people of his level could resolve or participate in. He can't influence anyone except those agents.
"Director Dai, please sit down."
Meng Shaoyuan said respectfully.
Dai Li sat down on Meng Shaoyuan's office chair: "You sit down too, you sit down too. Shaoyuan, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
He also changed the name of "Xiao Meng" to "Shaoyuan".
"Mr. Dai, such a big thing happened. Shao Yuan knew that Mr. Dai would not be able to sleep, so Shao Yuan did not dare to sleep. He waited here for Mr. Dai to call him."
Meng Shaoyuan also changed his title smoothly.
"Director Dai" is the public name in the work unit, but the meaning of being called "Mr. Dai" is different.
In the workplace, different titles can often reveal a person's status in the company.
Lixingshe is essentially a big company.
"You're fine, you're fine."
Dai Li looked particularly tired: "Such a big thing has happened. Those who should go home to be with their wives will be with their wives, those who should be with their little wives will be with their little wives, and there will be no one who is loyal to the country.
You are just a small team leader, but you know how to stick to your post here and share my worries. You are very good, Shao Yuan, I did not misjudge the person. "
He said "You are very good" several times in a row, which also shows the importance of Meng Shaoyuan in his mind at this moment.
When a person is lonely and at a loss, that is often when he is at his weakest and most in need of someone to talk to.
Even someone as strong as Dai Li is no exception.
And once they have experienced this, the person who listens will often be cited as a confidant by the confidant, because he is the person he trusts the most.
There are very few exceptions.
"My wife came back with my foreign friend Duanna." Dai Li said, "After discussion, my wife decided to fly to Xi'an with Duanna to rescue the commission. Do you think I should go or not?"
Dai Li was revealing his true feelings, not hiding anything.
With the occurrence of the Double Twelve Incident, various factions within the government began to become restless. At this critical moment, everyone had their own thoughts.
Dai Li is also faced with an unprecedented thorny problem. If he goes, he feels that the risk is too high and he may die because of it. If he doesn't go, he will lose the trust of the chairman.
Meng Shaoyuan knew very well that Dai Li would eventually go to Xi'an.
Moreover, before leaving, Dai Li dramatically took two revolvers.
Later, many people said that Dai Li's trip to Xi'an was not really loyal, but just a show. But to be honest, given Dai Li's situation at the time, he was not a show, because he had no way out.
Dai Li, known as the spy king, failed in the intelligence battle of the Double Twelve Incident and became the target of public criticism.
If something happens to the Chairman, Nanjing will not let him go.
At that time, many people even suspected that Dai Li and his secret service contacted Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng and deliberately deceived the Chairman into going to Xi'an.
As the agency responsible for intelligence, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's headquarters were the focus of Dai Li's surveillance at that time. Dai Li also actively interacted with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's cronies and laid many chess pieces.
But I didn't get any information about the military admonishment in advance.
After the incident, many generals directly related to the Chairman of the Chairman pointed the finger at Dai Li, claiming that if something happens to the Principal, they will twist your head off; and if the Chairman is fine, then the Chairman will be the first to attack him when he comes back, and even Dai Li himself was also deeply ashamed and believed that the failure of intelligence on the Xi'an Incident was his biggest failure since he started working as a spy.
Once he stays in Nanjing, it seems that he is safe, but in fact he can only wait for death. It may be better to go to Xi'an for a better chance.
In addition, he knew that Zhang Xueliang's wife Yu Fengzhi was the goddaughter of Soong Meiling's mother. Song Ziwen and Zhang Xueliang were good friends. If he traveled with these two people, his life would at least be guaranteed.
But at least, Meng Shaoyuan understood better that Dai Li was still very hesitant about whether to go to Xi'an so far.
"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a while and then said: "Shaoyuan wants to say a few words from the bottom of his heart. If he makes a mistake, please scold Mr. Dai."
"Tell me, here today, you and I can talk to each other heart to heart, and you can say whatever you want."
"Then Shaoyuan will be bolder." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "This mutiny has two outcomes. One is that the envoy is in trouble, and the whole country is in chaos. The other is that the envoy escapes from danger, and then rewards will be given based on merit.
Mr. Dai also has two options. One is to escape. Otherwise, once the committee is in trouble, Mr. Dai will be the first person some people have to deal with.
Mr. Dai's situation at this time is very similar to that of Wang Zhen in the Ming Dynasty. The Tumu Fort Incident and the boss's arrest were all due to his own mistakes in his work and were the target of public criticism.
When something happened to his boss, Wang Zhen chose to run away, and then his head was smashed by a Ming army general. If Mr. Dai is too timid to run away, the consequences can be imagined. "
Dai Li suddenly said: "Meng Shaoyuan, you are a little too courageous!"
