Cicada Moving Chapter 753

Chapter 753 Progress of Events (Harmonious Edition)

After the Chang'an Incident, various circles had different reactions to the incident. Among them, Japan, the old rival of the Republic of China, had the strongest reaction.

For example, the Japanese Army Ministry, which had just lost face in front of the whole world, attempted to take advantage of the opportunity to implement its established policy of completely annexing North China.

However, this proposal was rejected on the spot by Tian Locust, who was still angry. Who knows whether the Army Red Deer will come up with Jun's idea again.

The Japanese Navy is ready for armed intervention and requires the Third Fleet and all forces in China to be ready to respond at any time.

The domestic combined fleet, fleet and air force, and the three special marine brigades also entered a war-ready state and began to distribute live ammunition.

In addition, they also dispatched additional personnel and equipment to areas under actual control such as Shanghai and Hankou to strengthen the defense of illegally occupied areas.

While the military was jumping up and down, the Japanese government accused the young marshal of being a traitor, destroying peace, and doing its best to instigate civil war in the Republic of China.

The Japanese even requested cooperation from the Nationalist government, expressing their willingness to jointly defeat Zhang and Yang and restore stable order in East Asia.

In short,

Just don't let the Republic of China have an easy time.

This move has greatly intensified the conflict between Britain, the United States and Japan. Britain and the United States want political stability in order to safeguard their own interests in China.

After all, doing business requires market stability. They advocate trying to rescue someone, resolve the mutiny peacefully, and try to avoid war between the two sides.

Zuo Zhong's old friend, the British Minister to China, Bai Longdu, personally went to battle to expose the Japanese conspiracy and campaigned for the rescue of Baldhead.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has become very busy because of this. It is a great blessing for a semi-colonial country to be taken care of by several powerful countries.

In this case, on the afternoon of the 12th, entrusted by the bald lady, the bald adviser Duanna went to Chang'an to convey the government's resolution.

The young marshal said that as long as the bald head promised to stop the civil war and unite the underground parties to resist Japan, he would still wholeheartedly support someone to continue to be a leader.

Duan Na expressed his understanding. After staying in this country for so many years, he understood that this proposition was also an urgent demand of the people of the Republic of China.

With a common purpose, the conversation between the two parties became much easier, and soon the young marshal and General Yang showed corresponding sincerity.

In the evening of the same day, the Marshal and General Yang issued a telegram to the public, disclosing the process of the military remonstrance and putting forward eight demands for a peaceful settlement.

December 13th.

People from all walks of life in the Republic of China urged the National Government to achieve the reunification of the country and the nation as soon as possible and to stop doing things that hurt relatives and make enemies happy.

On the same day, the Secret Service's security in Jinling was further upgraded, especially regarding the garrison. Monitoring posts were even placed inside the military camp.

This made the officers of the capital garrison very dissatisfied, but after learning that the family area was "protected", they collectively remained silent.

But everything has two sides. Some people want to live bald, while others want to die bald in Chang'an, such as Minister He who refuses to give up.

This man summoned a large number of senior generals from the military committee to have a secret meeting in his mansion, and was known as the "White Oath" to the outside world.

They gathered more than 100,000 troops around Shaanxi Province to prepare for the "King of Qin" and launch attacks at various important places and transportation routes into Shaanxi.

In addition to military offensives,

Minister He did not forget public opinion propaganda.

Instigated by the Central Daily News under his control, members of the press and cultural circles condemned the "rebellious" behavior of the young marshal and General Yang.

Zhang Jiluan wrote an article "An Open Letter to the Chang'an Military Circle" in "Ta Kung Pao", advising the Northeast Army to surrender as soon as possible and not to harm the country and the people.

Some great writers even concluded that Zhang Yang was a sinner who destroyed the Great Wall and destroyed the unified country in the name of resisting the enemy. He was a notorious sinner.

On the third day after the incident broke out, Shuimu University held an extraordinary meeting and jointly drafted the "Declaration of the Shuimu University Professors Association to Combat Banditry".

The above denounced the Young Marshal as the culprit of the rebellion. He was an ambitious man who faked the good name of resisting Japan and brought about the destruction of the country. Everyone in the country should abandon him.

Things are slowly getting out of control,

The Republic of China became increasingly chaotic.

Seven academic institutions, including the Academia Sinica, called on the whole country to protest. Luo Xizhi, president of Jinling University, and 347 other people jointly accused the rebels.

This cultural man who turned into a minion when the National Government encountered an assassin was now pretending to be an upright person.

By the 16th, Jinling Current Affairs Monthly, Women's Resonance Society, Women's Patriotic Alliance, and many women's organizations sent out calls to attack the Northeastern Army.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Minister He set aside the military committee and personnel appointment procedures and appointed himself the commander-in-chief of the so-called rebel army.

The famous wild boar theorist General Liu was also appointed as the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army, and the longevity general Gu Mou was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army.

The rebel forces assembled their forces and oppressed Chang'an from the east and west. The air force also began to bomb the cities around the target.

　Some things are bound to happen,

No one can stop it.

Facing the menacing Central Army, the Northeastern Army's reaction was surprising. Most of the troops collapsed at the first touch and had no combat effectiveness.

The 53rd Army was stationed in Baocheng, Hebei Province. The commander was Wan Fulin, the young marshal's confidant. How did he repay the young marshal's kindness in knowing him?

The Marshal asked the other side to quickly send troops to occupy Zhengzhou, control the Longhai line, and rely on the railway as a line of defense to prevent the Central Army from advancing westward.

As a result, he first ignored the young commander's order, and three days after the war started, he called Jinling to express his support for Minister He's decision.

There is also the 6th Artillery Brigade of the Northeast Army stationed in Luoyang. The mission of the brigade commander Huang Yongan is to destroy the airport and prevent a single plane from taking off. However, after receiving the secret message, this person reported the secret to the Luoyang branch of the Central Military Academy with lightning speed and the speed of stealing the jingle bell.

Despicable character,

It can be seen from this.

Zuo Zhong was silent for a long time when he learned about the battle situation. No wonder the news in Luoyang was so well-informed. It turned out that there was a traitor in the Northeast Army itself.

This incident is not a surprise. This elite force that once dominated half of the Republic of China became a rootless tree a few years after leaving the Northeast.

Officers think about how to make money, while soldiers think about being a monk and clocking the clock. They have no fighting spirit and do not want to fight at all.

The situation began to go against the Northeastern Army, so the young marshal had to release one of the detained prisoners, hoping that the rebel army could suspend the attack.

On the other hand, the underground party, which was passively involved in this incident, also asked the government to cease the war to avoid further escalation of the conflict between the two parties.

There is also a middle-aged man who has just arrived in the northwest and has a teacher-student relationship with many Kuomintang generals. He personally came to Chang'an to persuade the young marshal.

Minister He, who was successful in the battle, paid no attention to the requests of the two parties and ordered the rebel army to continue to speed up and "rescue" the leader as soon as possible.

How can this be about saving people?

It is clear that he wants to kill someone.

The bald lady was so anxious that she couldn't sleep at night. She looked for allies everywhere to try to stop Minister He's actions, but it was of no use.

Until the 21st, with the mediation and threats from Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other countries, the rebel forces finally stopped their ground offensive and only carried out bombing.

After all, without the weapons and ammunition from these countries, the Republic of China would not even be able to fight a decent war. Minister He must bow his head.

The National Government is still like a leaky sieve. According to reliable information, the bald lady will go to Chang'an the next day to participate in negotiations.

The problem is that Chang'an is like a powder keg. The rebel planes bomb it indiscriminately, just in case a pilot is not careful... right?

　　People have misfortunes and good fortunes all the time.

　No one can say for sure.

As soon as this incident came out, the government and the people were in an uproar. Minister He also gloated about the misfortune and said to the left and right that Chang'an would be filled with blood and fire.

The meaning is very clear. If a woman goes to that kind of place, she will be in bad luck. Just look at the losses in Tokyo, Japan, to see how crazy the rebels are.

Others also believe that Mrs. Bald's going is just one more hostage, and the biggest role is to give the Chairman more companions on Huangquan Road.

This is unlucky.

　　But it is a fact.

Before departure, she called Zuo Zhong to Qilu and entrusted him to maintain the current situation in Jinling and prevent anyone from sabotaging the peace talks privately.

She sat on the sofa and said seriously: "Shenzhu, there are some things I can't say more about. As the deputy director of the Secret Service, you should know.

For the sake of the country and the nation, it is my unshirkable responsibility as the wife of the Chairman. You should pay more attention to Minister He in Jinling. Do you understand? "

“Mrs.”

Unexpectedly, Zuo Zhong shook his head firmly after hearing this: "It is my humble position who suggested that you go to Chang'an. It is my responsibility to accompany you.

The public security there is currently chaotic, with rioters and bandits running rampant, and robberies and shootings happening from time to time. I must ensure your safety.

Jinling has the Secret Service keeping an eye on it, so there won't be any major problems. We just need to ensure that the garrison and police are temporarily neutral.

The chairman Ji Renxiang will definitely return safely. At that time, those charm will be unaccompanied, and the country will be stable again. "

Now that he knew the direction of history, Zuo Zhong thought it wouldn't hurt to follow him to Chang'an, maybe there would be a chance to meet the great man.

In summary, that person is his "real" fellow countryman in the future. If he can meet him, then he did not come to this era in vain.

What's more important is to brush up your impression points in front of Baldhead and Lao Dai. As a subordinate, how can you not help your boss when he is in trouble?

“Okay, then you can go together.”

The bald lady thought twice and agreed to Zuo Zhong's request. There were people from the Secret Service in Jinling watching, and those people couldn't make a big splash.

After talking about business, she had an idea and asked her servant to bring a piece of "Five Character Ancient Poetry Scroll" by Huang Daozhou, a master of calligraphy in the Ming Dynasty, to Zuo Chong.

This man once served as Shangshu of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He actively recruited volunteers to resist the Qing army's Eight Banners advancing southward. Unfortunately, he was defeated and captured, and died in Jinling.

Before he died, he left behind a life-threatening message that his principles would last forever, his integrity would last forever, heaven and earth would know him, and his family would have no worries. His conduct would always be praised by the world.

Send the other party's characters to Zuo Zhong.

The meaning is not difficult to understand.

It's a pity that Zuo Zhong has identified himself with the underground party and will not be a loyal minister and martyr of the party-state. Moreover, this metaphor is too inappropriate.

What happened to Nanming? All the emperor's relatives, civil and military ministers were poisoned to death, and the last emperor Yongli was also executed by Wu Sangui.

Could it be that this old woman was foreshadowing the fate of the government? It would be hard to refuse. Zuo Chong took it respectfully and left Qilu.

On December 22, 1936, the tenth day after the mutiny, a military plane took off from Jinling and flew quickly northwest.

Where will the fate of this ancient country go? The eyes of the entire Republic of China and even the entire world have turned to Chang'an.

Pack your luggage and go to the northwest in two days.
