"Major Incidents Occurred in Chang'an".
"Sudden changes in the deputy headquarters team".
"Leader's whereabouts unknown".
At 8 o'clock on December 12, 1936, the "Central Daily News", the mouthpiece of the Kuomintang's public opinion, went on sale on time, with only these three items on the front page.
Several columns of black and bold characters made Jinling instantly excited. Neither the officials nor the people could believe their eyes.
Why did the young marshal start a mutiny when he was doing well? Why is the chairman of the general committee gone? Will Jinling City be completely out of control like Tokyo?
These questions lingered in everyone's mind. Half an hour later, the entrances of grain stores and shops in the city were crowded with people.
In the midst of the chaos, more than a dozen limousines set off from the bald man's residence, Qilu, and drove swiftly towards the National Government.
Zuo Zhong sat in one of the cars and looked at the scene outside the window, rubbing his temples. One thing happened after another, which really made him have a headache.
"Deputy Director, please be at ease."
Gu Qi, who was next to him, comforted in a low voice: "I have asked all Bai Wenzhi's people to take to the streets. If anyone is found to be smashing, smashing or robbing, he will be arrested immediately.
Even Lao Bai himself was dispatched. This guy has a good attitude. He asked me to bring you a box of local specialties to show his sincerity.
He also gives generous gifts to Chunyang and the dead and injured brothers. He will never treat everyone badly. Do you want to give him another chance? "
Souvenir?
If you tell me this, I won't be sleepy anymore.
Zuo Zhong perked up, pondered for a moment and nodded: "Well, they are all serving the party and the country, there is really no need to beat people to death with a stick.
There is a saying that says, avoid past mistakes and avoid future ones, treat illnesses and save lives. This time I will give this old boy an advantage and give him a chance.
However, the murderers provided by the businessmen must be severely punished. I heard that they are all retired elites from the army, and it is even more abominable to know the law and break the law. "
He calmly took out the word smuggling. Now that the situation in Jinling is so tense, there must be no more extraneous matters.
"Understood, I won't do it again."
Gu Qi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the car in front of him and gritted his teeth: "These royal relatives are really brave.
The eldest son of the Confucius family not only played and drank every night at St. John's University, but also established a secret private group.
Most of the members are partisans who want to take advantage of the Kong family. They have organized smuggling activities many times and recruited thugs to bully the market.
If it is allowed to develop, it will definitely become a disaster. If it is used by Japanese spies, it will become a new East Asian club. "
Collect money and return money,
Eucalyptus still has to be dealt with.
Gu Qi and Zuo Zhong went to the East Asia Club with makeup and knew the serious consequences when money and power are combined and corrupted.
Master Kong Dagong's small group is developing in that direction, as evidenced by sending people to openly attack Secret Service personnel performing official duties.
As for kidnapping beautiful female students, killing and setting fires are commonplace. If they don't care, God knows what they will do.
Thinking of all the evil deeds committed by these people in the intelligence, he, an old intelligence officer, couldn't bear to look directly at it, and his heart was filled with anger.
"Don't worry, anger will hurt your health."
Zuo Zhong smiled and patted his hand, and raised his chin forward: "Who gave me a good aunt? We can't envy her.
I will talk about this when the leader comes back. Mr. Kong is still a child, and he must have been deceived by people with ulterior motives when he made mistakes.
Lao Gu, you must not make the mistake of preconception. Okay, let’s get down to business. What’s going on with the JoongAng Ilbo.
Why did those nerds learn about Zhang Yang's mutiny so quickly? Could it be that they have spies in our secret service?
In addition, the other party was able to print the newspaper without the eyes of the surveillance personnel. There must be someone behind it. Have you found out the situation? "
"Checked it out."
When Gu Qi heard Zuo Zhong's words, he realized that he was being presumptuous and there were some things he shouldn't have said. He quickly wiped the cold sweat on his head and replied.
"After investigation, the Luoyang branch of Army University received news of the mutiny last night and immediately made an emergency report to the Military Commission through the military radio.
As a result, the military commission's on-duty radio operator fell asleep due to drunkenness. It was not until this morning that the two parties established communication, and the news was immediately leaked.
You know, government officials had no sense of confidentiality at all, and within ten minutes the news of the mutiny spread everywhere.
Someone from the Central News Agency went to see Minister He and started printing newspapers after they came back. That is not our territory and there is no way to stop it. "
Luoyang branch.
Minister He.
After listening, Zuo Zhong tapped his fingers on his knees. It was normal for Minister He to do this. The question was why the Luoyang branch was so well-informed.
An uprising by the Northeastern Army would inevitably control communications within the city. Information about the mutiny could not be spread. Could it be that someone went to Luoyang by land.
This possibility is not very likely. The distance between Chang'an and Luoyang is not close, and it is night. No one can arrive so quickly. There is something going on here.
Just when he was puzzled, the motorcade slowly stopped at the entrance of the National Government Auditorium, a place where assassinations had occurred.
Peng ~
Zuo Zhong closed the door, jogged to the side of a car, and respectfully greeted the bald lady inside.
"Madam, according to the intelligence received by our Secret Service, the Central Committee members currently in Jinling are discussing how to deal with the Chang'an matter.
Minister He presided over the meeting. Other ministers and committee members attended the meeting. The military also sent some senior personnel to observe.
You don't have to worry about security issues. I have commandos inside and outside the National Government. If necessary, we can take over this place by force. "
"Well, Shen Zhong, come with me in."
Looking up at the solemn auditorium, the bald lady's expression was not very good. She replied casually and walked in aggressively.
At this time, the meeting had begun. Minister He sat on the rostrum and looked at the officials with different expressions in the audience, wishing he could look up to the sky and smile.
After being someone's dog for so many years, he finally had a chance to become his master, and it was not in vain for him to bear the humiliation and swallow his anger.
I think that when he studied in Japan and participated in the Separation Movement, the chairman of the committee was still hanging out in Shanghai, and he was the most qualified to sit in that position.
"Cough, cough."
He coughed twice and announced grandly: "Let the meeting begin. Everyone knows that Zhang Yang launched a mutiny in Chang'an City.
As far as I know, these two rebels kidnapped and even killed the Chairman. Their behavior was outrageous, and my 40 million compatriots were heartbroken when they heard about it.
In the September 18th Incident, Zhang Ni lost territory in three provinces overnight, and the whole country was in an uproar. Everyone said that this person could be killed, but my leader could forgive him.
When he went into exile overseas and was at the end of his rope, he was accused by thousands of people and called a scum of the country and nation. It was also my leader who treated him favorably.
During these two incidents, the Chairman was widely attacked by the government and the public, but now he has committed a treasonous act, which clearly shows Zhang Ni's disloyalty and injustice.
I suggest that he be stripped of his rank of general and commander-in-chief of the Northwest Bandit Suppression, and that ground and air forces be sent to attack the rebels! "
No matter if someone is dead or not now,
He must not be allowed to live.
As Minister He spoke, he made up his mind and stared at the attendees below, wanting to see who dared to object.
If he dares to say this, he is naturally fully prepared. He has planted many people in the army and government. It is time for them to take a stand.
As long as the meeting reaches a resolution, even if Zhang and Yang have no intention of killing that person, this can force them to make a desperate move.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang used the murder of Emperor Xian as an excuse to allow Liu Bei to legitimately ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and he can do the same today.
"I disagree!"
The bald lady, trembling with anger, suddenly appeared at the venue, pointing at Minister He and the distinguished officials in the auditorium and said angrily.
"There is no news about the Chairman of the Generalissimo, and the course of the mutiny is not yet clear. You must do everything possible. Who wants the Chairman's life the most?
I think it's none other than you, these greedy people who have been favored by the leader. I know what you have in mind. "
She scolded everyone present and looked like a little girl. Tears flowed down her face as if she didn't want money, and she cried and begged.
"In short, before the truth is found out, I think it is too hasty and inappropriate to make such a hasty decision on the young commander's punishment.
As for the military, immediately attacking Chang'an without waiting for the rebels' request. I personally cannot accept such assumptions and reckless actions. "
pretty.
Pulled and beaten.
Zuo Zhong, who was beside the bald lady, couldn't help but applaud what she had just done. At this time, she had to make it clear to her face with gongs and drums.
Everyone must know that whoever supports the crusade against the rebels just wants to die. No one dares to place a bet before the overall situation is clear.
Otherwise, once the bald "King Returns", liquidation and revenge will be certain. Everyone knows how ruthless this person is.
Now the pressure is on Minister He. How to convince these pillars of the party and state who have breasts is their mother has become a difficult problem.
"Bold! Bold!"
Minister He, who was usually respectful to the bald lady, was furious and said: "You are a woman, what do you know about national affairs?
Is it your husband or the country that is more important? Don't mess around here. Come, please Madam, please go back to Qilu and have a good rest. "
Each mountain is higher than the other, and Minister He is not a vegetarian. He described the behavior of the bald lady as a selfish act in a casual way.
The guards responsible for the security of the venue looked at each other in confusion after hearing the order, not knowing what to do. They did not dare to offend either of these two people.
"Minister He!"
The bald lady immediately retorted: "Although I am a prostitute, I am not speaking here just to save my husband.
If the Chairman's death can really benefit the country and the nation, then I will first advise him to take the initiative to sacrifice for the benefit of the world.
But don’t you know that if you attack the rebels, not only will the leader be put in danger, but innocent people will also be caught in the flames of war.
Not only that, it will also waste our many efforts to resist the Japanese invasion and allow the enemy to take advantage.
Therefore, in order to save China, I call on everyone to properly find a peaceful solution to prevent the country from being broken and the lives of people to be devastated. "
high,
It's really high.
Her words forced Minister He and other militants into an unjust situation, making people doubt their true purpose of starting the war.
Zuo Zhong knew it was time for him to step forward. He raised his hand to hold his gun, took a step forward and looked directly at the hesitating guards, decisively speaking.
"Which of you dares to move? The Secret Service is ordered to protect my wife. Anyone who dares to disrespect my wife will be punished as a traitor. I advise you to be smart."
Then, he shouted to Gu Qi: "Lao Gu, let everyone come in to protect the officers from being attacked by Zhang Yang's associates."
"yes."
Gu Qi shouted back the order, and following the voice, groups of heavily armed agents rushed into the auditorium and unceremoniously handed over the weapons of the guards.
Finally, the leader Gui Youguang viciously pushed them into the corner, and the Thompson submachine gun in his hand swept towards the venue from time to time.
Minister He became furious when he saw this, pointed at Zuo Zhong and cursed: "Who do you think you are? A colonel dares to comment on political affairs, get out!"
"It is indeed a humble position, but I dare not forget the word loyalty. Minister He, it's time for you to leave." Zuo Zhong replied, neither humble nor arrogant.
"you...."
Minister He looked at the agents around him, then at his silent colleagues, gave Zuo Zhong a cold look, and immediately threw away his sleeves.
The troublemaker left, and the elders who supported the solution by force decided to support the Bald Lady's opinion at Zhu Jiahua's suggestion.
At this point, the government finally had a clear attitude on how to resolve the Chang'an mutiny, and peace talks were imperative.
