Chapter 7 Young Marshal’s Worries ()

In Beijing, in front of Shuncheng Palace, three black cars in front and behind stopped, the armed guards immediately set up warnings. Zhang Xueliang, dressed in military uniform, got out of the car calmly and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. He held a booklet with an angry face and walked into the palace with a meteor. The guards on both sides saluted with guns.

After entering the lobby, Zhang Xueliang, who looked a little tired, threw the booklet in his hand on the coffee table, took off his military cap and handed it to the adjutant, untied the collar and drank a few sips of herbal tea.

When his wife Yu Fengzhi saw Zhang Xueliang so loudly, she stood at the door and was slightly stunned. Then she waved her hand to signal the adjutant to retreat, stepped behind Zhang Xueliang, glanced at the booklet "Three Questions on Mengman" on the desk, and gently pressed Zhang Xueliang on both shoulders.

Zhang Xueliang gently put his hand on Yu Fengzhi's hand and closed his eyes to rest!

Yu Feng said with great concern: "Hanqing, can you tell me? Don't keep it in your heart. It's not good to have a hot day. I'll go to Union Hospital tomorrow. Dr. Smith is worried that Western medicine and Chinese medicine will have side effects during the treatment process, so he suggests that you stop Chinese medicine first."

Zhang Xueliang nodded slightly and said, "I understand. I know my own body. Western medicine can treat symptoms quickly but can consolidate the foundation. Traditional Chinese medicine can cure the root cause slowly. The Wang family was originally a family of imperial doctors in the palace. Have they ever suggested that I stop Western medicine? Western medicine has lost the state of just a mental technique."

Zhang Xueliang looked around the study, frowned and asked, "By the way? Have Xiaohou and the others come?"

Yu Fengzhi responded with a smile: "I have been waiting for you in Nanshu for a while. The weather has been abnormal these days, and it has been better for autumn. People with this hot and cold are the most likely to get sick. Should I change my clothes first and then sweat? It can also be cooler."

Zhang Xueliang got up and picked up the booklet and said to himself: "It is said that the mind is calm and the heart will naturally be cool. I am not calm now! How can I cool down?"

Zhang Xueliang, who walked to the door under Yu Fengzhi's worried gaze, turned around and smiled slightly: "Don't worry about me, it's okay, really!"

Zhang Xueliang walked around several painting pavilions and a small rockery bridge to the south study in the backyard. In an ancient and simple study, a large desk topped the south and north, behind the desk were several calligraphy and paintings, and there were all pens, ink, paper and ink on the table. A wisp of light blue smoke slowly rose from the incense burner.

After Zhang Xueliang entered the door, Yu Xuezhong, Bao Wenyue, He Zhuguo and others hurriedly stood at attention and saluted. Zhang Xueliang nodded with satisfaction and signaled that they would sit down. Today, they were all the young and strong soldiers of the Northeast Army that Zhang Xueliang relied most on weekdays, so Zhang Xueliang seemed very relaxed.

Yu Xuezhong, Bao Wenyue, He Zhuguo and others read the booklet of "Three Questions on Meng and Manchu" brought by Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang stood in front of the desk and looked at a pair of blue and white jade rulers in front of the Ming Dynasty on the desk.

He Zhuguo looked through and handed it to Yu Xuezhong and said, "Deputy Commander, I wonder where this booklet was created?"

Zhang Xueliang said lightly: "The guards were collected from the Japanese merchants in the market."

Yu Xuezhong frowned and finally put down the booklet of "Three Questions on Mengman" and said: "The Japanese have been in trouble in the Northeast for a long time. It is very common to have such remarks, but we can't sit still and watch this booklet has flowed to Peking. I will go back and order the troops to search immediately."

Zhang Xueliang said helplessly: "You are the commander of the Pingjin Garrison. This is a troublesome situation. Don't cause trouble."

Zhang Xueliang hesitated for a moment, then put it down and said, "Honjo Shizuki replaced Ryukari Takashi as commander of the Kanto Army, and Kenji Doihara served as the Fengtian secret service. The Japanese have been undergoing major personnel adjustments recently. What do you think about this?"

Bao Wenyue recalled and said in surprise: "Han Zhuang?...Is it the consultant of Lao Shuai back then? The authentic China Pass, a guy wearing a long robe and a man's jacket, bowing to others when he sees someone?"

Yu Xuezhong nodded and affirmed, "Well! This Honjo Shin is not a simple Chinese expert. He has served as the military adviser to the old general and knows our army well. He has only been in office for more than a year. He must have made some attempts? But the most troublesome thing is Kenji Doihara, who also served as the consultant of our army, reported that before Shi Yusan turned against him, he frequently met with Yan Xishan and Shi Yusan's secret envoys in the Japanese concession in Tianjin."

When Zhang Xueliang heard that the Japanese were frequently in contact with Shi Yousan, he immediately said disdainfully: "The Japanese are just a means that they cannot get on the table. How many of their Kwantung Army are there? How many of them are there in the Korean Army? The Japanese are like a poisonous snake. The Japanese are known for their caution and caution. I don't think they have the courage to swallow elephants, but beware of being bitten by them and poisoning them!"

Yu Xuezhong and others nodded and said yes!

Zhang Xueliang looked at the rare ambiguity in the study and sighed: "Almost all the elite main forces of our defense force were transferred into the pass, and the defense in the northeast is empty. The two national governments in Guangzhou and Nanjing each have their own opinions and splits are a foregone conclusion. The current domestic situation has changed suddenly. A little careless civil war is about to break out. Our northeastern side must strictly guard against the Kwantung Army. The Japanese ronin deliberately provokes trouble, and the same is true for Pingjin. The country is weak. Our soldiers should sacrifice their own self to protect the country's greatest self. If there is any conflict, they should follow the instructions of the Nanjing government and not resist. They should seek a resolution through government negotiations."

Yu Xuezhong said worriedly: "The Nanjing government is probably more about considering themselves and using us to prevent disasters in front of us. With the usual Japanese personality, when will the things they eat in their mouths be spit out?"

Zhang Xueliang frowned and said "Hmm"!

After Yu Xuezhong and others left, Zhang Xueliang sat alone in the study, remembering the secret meeting with his brother Jiang in Shijiazhuang not long ago. The brother Jiang said that he had recently obtained reliable information and the Japanese army was about to take action in the Northeast. Our strength was not enough to resist the enemy and could not fight for the time being. The government had to ask the League of Nations to uphold justice and a peaceful solution.

The elder brother who was obsessed with suppressing bandits deliberately took time to meet with him. The most important thing was to strictly order the entire Northeast Army. Anyone who encountered Japanese attacks would not resist, for fear that once the Northeast Army fought back against the Japanese provocation, the matter would be difficult to deal with. Because in previous negotiations with the Japanese who could distort the facts, the Japanese army provoked and opened fire first, they could forcefully say that our army attacked him first.

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Republic of China, Zhang Xueliang naturally understood that the country was in an extraordinary moment, and there were hundreds of millions of dollars owed to repay the debts left by the Beijing government before. The princes in the country were all in power. It was already the 20th year of the Republic of China. China did not have a unified national defense force? Not only were bandits rampant in Jiangxi and other places, but all the princes also had civil wars. How could this not make the Japanese suddenly see them?

It is really difficult to move forward! As a soldier born in troubled times, you must endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. At this time, a war broke out with Japan, and the country is in danger! The nation is in danger! Do not endanger the country and the overall situation of the nation due to personal gains and losses.
