Age of Rebirth

Chapter 310: The First Meeting with Zhang Yang

Tang Qiuli made up his mind, lying comfortably on the camp bed, picked up a book with relish, Mei Ting hesitated to speak, she seemed to understand that the teacher had his own plan, and put Tang Qiuli in the teacup Top up with water.

Then, he sat quietly by the side, with big black and white eyes, kept looking at Tang Qiuli, who was attracted by the content of the book, the more he read it, the more he liked it, this kind of composure is not something that person can possess.

Two gangs of 600 soldiers confronted each other with their guns armed. If one side couldn't help it, it would lead to a bloodbath, but he acted like nothing had happened. Mei Ting asked herself that she couldn't do this.

In the evening, soldiers from both sides confronted each other. It had been more than ten hours, but none of them gave up and retreated. [

However, the soldiers of the joint law enforcement team of the Northeast Army and the [-]th Route Army had unsightly complexions, looked tired, had sweat on their foreheads, trembling legs, and lacked physical strength and energy. .

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Guard Brigade of the Independent Division were full of energy, their hands holding guns and grenades did not shake at all, as if they had been given stimulants. Look at this posture, and stand for another day and midnight, what a joke.

The citizens who were fine after eating, seeing no danger, gathered more and more, and the peddlers with a bright eye simply set up gas lamps, took advantage of the large number of people, and started a small business, and soon formed a temporary market. city.

On the one side, there are hundreds of soldiers facing each other, like fighting cocks. It was not a special scene in Xi'an, the ancient capital at that time.

Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng couldn't sit still anymore. After all, the incident happened in the downtown area of ​​Xi'an. The North China Independent Division was ordered to come here, and something went wrong. These two couldn't escape the responsibility. Their thoughts were the same as Tang Qiuli's. Waiting for the other party to come to the door first can take the initiative in terms of momentum and opportunity.

It's a pity that they met Tang Qiuli, who was young but scheming, the room was quiet and serene, and Mei Ting's faint body fragrance seemed to be there, and Tang was very useful, and now they all slept beautifully. feel the idea.

Zhao Yuhe knocked on the door and came in, reporting that there was an aide-de-camp of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang outside, waiting to be summoned by the division commander, saying that he had something important to report.

Tang Qiuli looked away from the book, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng finally couldn't sit still, Mei Ting said to herself, how cunning, finally waiting for the other party to speak first.

Zhang Xueliang's aide-de-camp explained the purpose of his visit. Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang and Director Yang asked Army Commander Tang to condescend to go to the Xi'an Appeasement Office to meet and discuss in detail the issue of the armed confrontation between the soldiers of the two sides, and to discuss the most appropriate way for the three troops to live in peace. Solve current problems.

This attendant adjutant is quite good at speaking, and the words are comfortable to listen to. He is obviously a good hand in running errands around Zhang Xueliang. He has seen the world, but he was also surprised by Mei Ting's beauty and temperament.

The girl Mei Ting was already beautiful, and her well-fitting military uniform outlined her proud curves. The femininity of a woman also contained the heroic demeanor of a soldier. Such a young female colonel was not popular in the Chinese military at that time. more common.

What surprised him even more was that Tang Qiuli, a 20-year-old lieutenant general, was the only one in the Chinese military at that time. Thinking about himself, he was almost 30 years old, and he was still a small captain. I feel disheartened and feel that I have been a fool for so many years.

Mei Ting took the general's cloak for Tang Qiuli, she looked like a daughter-in-law who had been with her for many years, and the adjutant was a clever person with clear eyebrows, and she could tell the relationship between the two at a glance.

I quickly added that Deputy Commander Zhang and Director Yang also cordially invited Commander Tang's relatives to visit the city. Our fourth lady is very hospitable.

Just as Tang Qiuli was about to correct the adjutant's statement, Mei Ting hurriedly agreed. This girl was thinking hard about not being able to go with Tang Qiuli. If she had this opportunity, how could she let it go? At this moment, Tang Qiuli If Qiuli exposes it, it will be too unkind, and it will embarrass Mei Ting, so she can only give her a glare, which is regarded as acquiescing.

Tang Qiuli took a light car and drove to the appeasement office building in Xi'an with only Mei Ting and a dozen guards in several cars.

The top officials of both sides came forward, and the confronting soldiers had nothing to say, they all put away their guns and returned to their stations.

However, most of the soldiers of the Northeast Army and the [-]th Route Army were escorted away. The soldiers of the Independent Division Guard Brigade shouted loud slogans, lined up neatly, and boarded the car one by one with high spirits.

The chief of staff, Zhao Yuhe, who came to convey the division commander's order, told these soldiers that the kitchen has prepared white flour steamed buns and pork stewed vermicelli for you, so you can have a good meal when you go back. [

It is estimated that when the soldiers of the joint law enforcement team go back, even if they don't have a clean pot and a cold stove, they can only eat sorghum noodles and drink pickled vegetable soup.

Before leaving, Dui Shanhu, who was admired by Captain Liu, said: "Captain Huang, you are really good, you are a pure man from the Northeast, and my old Liu respects you from the bottom of my heart!"

The citizens who watched the excitement dispersed in twos and threes when they saw that there was no fight. However, this episode was enough for these citizens to discuss for a long time after dinner.

Tang Qiuli's car arrived at the gate of the Xi'an Appeasement Office. Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng greeted him at the gate. Qiu Li took the liberty to interrupt, the soldiers under his command lacked discipline, and there were a lot of disrespectful things, please forgive me, Qiu Li will make an apology here first!"

After finishing speaking, correct military salute, this is what Tang Qiuli knows how to be a human being. He knows that Chinese people are good at saving face. The so-called "don't steam steamed buns to win!" Well, if you have enough airs, it is not beautiful, it will make people feel unhappy, and it will affect future major events.

Obviously, Tang Qiuli's action was beyond the expectations of Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang. Tang Qiuli was regarded as half an imperial envoy. He took the responsibility on himself first, admitted his mistakes face to face, had a humble and polite attitude, and had good demeanor and temperament. Tang Qiuli's favor increased greatly.

Before Tang Qiuli came, Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang had already discussed many countermeasures to deal with Tang Qiuli. Be quiet.

Tang Qiuli asked them to discuss the countermeasures. Zhang Xueliang greeted them first. Tang Qiuli carefully observed this legendary figure who was famous and important in Chinese history, and even changed the direction of history.

Zhang Xueliang's demeanor and temperament are the best choice, and he is called the four great princes of the Republic of China. It is not for nothing, but this Young Marshal Zhang has had a very unhappy life since he left the Northeast.

His face was haggard, and some small wrinkles crept up his fair and handsome face. Under the single eyelid, a pair of sharp eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, looking tired and tired. For some reason, Tang Qiuli felt a kind of weakness from his body. Thick feelings of regret and resentment, as well as a deep sense of power.

This made Tang Qiuli put away his contempt for Zhang Xueliang in his bones. His family was ruined and his homeland was lost under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders. Three thousand miles of land, tens of millions of people, the foundation of his ancestors, and the vengeance of killing his father were all lost. , carrying the infamy of a general who does not resist, what kind of pressure does he live under?

It is not easy for Zhang Xueliang to stay away from his homeland, live in a foreign land, and fight with people who are not enemies. There are many suspicions and restrictions from the central government.

Tang Qiuli wondered what would happen if Zhang Xueliang led the 30 Northeast Army to fight the Japanese to the end on the day of the September [-]th Incident?The history of China will definitely go in an unknown direction.

History is a fact that has already happened, and no one can change it. If history can be repeated, he believes that the heroic Zhang Shaoshuai in front of him will choose a different approach, and there will be a different ending.

It's a pity that good fortune tricks people, and Tang Qiuli suddenly understood Zhang Xueliang's state of mind and thoughts at this time, which was the most thorough understanding from the known history.

Among the young marshal's characters, there are many honest and innocent ones, and he is a man of temperament. He took Tang Qiuli's hand affectionately, with warm and generous palms, and the two walked towards Yang Hucheng side by side.

Compared to the young marshal, General Yang Hucheng, with a simple face, has a pair of shining eyes that don't match his appearance. At this moment, he is looking at Tang Qiuli, as if he wants to see through his true thoughts .

Such a young man, yet able to have such a high position, to be in charge of a party's military and political power, with tens of thousands of powerful soldiers in his hands, is highly valued by the chairman, this young man should not be underestimated.

Like Zhang Xueliang, he was surprised by Tang Qiuli's age. The difference was that Yang Hucheng reacted from the initial shock and became vigilant. This person should not be underestimated.

With a polite demeanor, he kept a proper distance, making it difficult for people to figure out. This is a person who was born in poverty. With his own efforts, he has reached the high position he is today. Tang Qiuli defined General Yang Hucheng in his heart.

The three men were busy exchanging pleasantries and courtesies, but they ignored Mei Ting who was following behind.

Mei Ting was not in a hurry either, she knew that she could not be ignored, she smiled and looked at the three men with very different personalities and a big age gap, but they were all armed with heavy soldiers, men from one side of the vassals, fighting aggressively there, especially It was Tang Qiuli's words and performance that made Mei Ting's eyes shine. [

Zhang Shaoshuai never loses his manners in front of beauties, he has a very gentlemanly demeanor, he immediately apologized, and gracefully invited Mei Ting to walk in front, and asked Mei Ting's name in a gentle manner.

He said to Yang Hucheng: "Brother Hucheng, Commander Tang and Ms. Mei Ting are together, does it feel like a golden boy and a jade girl? In front of them, I feel really old." In his words, he was full of emotion.

Zhang Shaoshuai's blunt words made Tang Qiuli very uncomfortable, and he had no way to refute, so he could only laugh awkwardly, but Yang Hucheng laughed heartily: "What Han Qing said is very true, I am afraid that the two of you have already privately Is it set for life?"

This is very inconsistent with Yang Hucheng's personality. When they met for the first time, the two sides did not understand each other. This kind of joke was too big, and even Zhang Xueliang was taken aback.

Tang Qiuli glanced at Yang Hucheng attentively. Did this powerful figure from Shaanxi see Mei Ting's identity?What do you mean?
