    Before reading this novel, let¡¯s review some major events in modern China:

    In April 1927, Chiang Kai-shek established the National Government in Nanjing; on August 1, the Communist Party of China launched the Nanchang Uprising.

    In 1928, Northeastern warlord Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese, and his son Zhang Xueliang took over his position.  At the end of the year, Zhang Xueliang's "Northeast Rebellion" surrendered to Nanjing, and the Nationalist Government nominally unified the country.

    On September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army in China conspired to blow up the South Manchuria Railway and blamed the Northeastern Army of China, and began to attack Northeast China.  Zhang Xueliang implemented the "non-resistance" order issued by Chiang Kai-shek and ordered the 300,000 Northeastern Army to withdraw from the Northeast without firing a shot. The three northeastern provinces soon fell and became Japanese colonies and bases for the invasion of China.

    In 1932, the Japanese army once again invaded and occupied the two provinces of Jehol and Chahar in China.

    In 1935, Japan conspired to create independence and autonomy for the five provinces of North China in an attempt to split northern China.

    On December 12, 1936, Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng, leader of the Northwest Army, used force to detain Chiang Kai-shek and force him to fight against the Japanese invaders, which was the "Xi'an Incident".

    On July 7, 1937, the "July 7th Incident" broke out at Marco Polo Bridge, and the Chinese nation's all-out anti-Japanese war began.

The officers and soldiers of the Chinese army fought bloody battles under the bombardment of Japanese aircraft, naval and artillery, causing more than 330,000 casualties, and the Japanese army suffered about 80,000 casualties.  .  In mid-November, Shanghai fell.

    From September 11 to November 8, the Sino-Japanese Taiyuan Battle broke out. The Kuomintang and Communist Allied Forces launched a series of battles with the Japanese army in Shanxi, including the Battle of Tianzhen, the Battle of Pingxingguan, the Battle of Niangziguan, the Battle of Xinkou, and the Battle of Taiyuan. Among them, the 115th of the Eighth Route Army  The division ambushed the Japanese army at Pingxingguan and annihilated more than 1,000 Japanese troops of the fifth division.  The Chinese army participated in 6 group armies with a total of 50 divisions (brigade) of about 280,000 troops, with more than 100,000 casualties; the Japanese army participated in 4 and a half divisions and a large number of puppet Manchukuo troops and puppet Mongolian troops with a total of more than 140,000 troops, with more than 20,000 casualties.  people.

    From December 1st to December 13th, the Japanese army attacked Nanjing, and 150,000 Chinese troops resisted. Due to major mistakes made by the highest authorities in the organization and command of the campaign, the defenders suffered heavy losses, and Nanjing, the capital of China, fell.  The Japanese 6th Division and the 16th Division that entered the city, a total of more than 50,000 Japanese troops, carried out the "Nanjing Massacre" in Nanjing for more than ten days. More than 300,000 Chinese civilians and surrendered officers and soldiers were massacred.

    From January to May 1938, the Sino-Japanese Xuzhou Battle broke out.  China's Fifth Theater Troops deployed 64 divisions and 3 brigades with approximately 600,000 troops, while the Japanese army mobilized 8 divisions, 3 brigades, and 2 detachments with approximately 240,000 troops to participate in the battle; General Li Zongren, Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Theater Command, commanded the Chinese army to fight a bloody battle  In the Battle of Taierzhuang, more than 20,000 Japanese troops were annihilated, which was the first major victory for the Chinese army since the Anti-Japanese War.  Later, in order to preserve their strength, the Chinese army voluntarily withdrew from Xuzhou.

    From June to October, the main forces of China¡¯s Fifth and Ninth Theater Commands fought against the Japanese troops in Wuhan, Hubei, and other vast areas from central Anhui to western Anhui, northern Jiangxi to northwest Jiangxi, eastern Hubei, and southern Henan. China and Japan launched the Wuhan Battle.  The Chinese army invested more than 130 divisions with more than 1 million men and more than 200 aircraft; the Japanese army participated in the war with 12 divisions of more than 350,000 men, more than 500 aircraft and more than 120 ships.  The Chinese army fought hundreds of large and small battles with the Japanese invaders. At the cost of more than 400,000 casualties, the Chinese army killed and injured more than 200,000 Japanese troops and annihilated 175,000 Japanese troops.  On the 29th, the Japanese army captured Tianjia Town, a fortress on the Yangtze River.  By late October, all three towns in Wuhan had fallen to the enemy, and the Battle of Wuhan was over.

    From September 1939 to January 1942, the Chinese army and the Japanese invaders fought three Changsha battles in the Changsha area of ??Hunan.  In the third battle, General Xue Yue, the commander-in-chief of the Changsha garrison, commanded his troops to wipe out a Japanese division. The Japanese suffered a total of more than 60,000 casualties.  At this time, World War II broke out, China joined the Allies, and the Sino-Japanese War became part of the World War.  In the same year, the Nationalist Government of China and the Imperial Japanese Government formally declared war on each other.

    From April to June 1940, the Sino-Japanese Zaoyi Battle took place. The Japanese army invested 150,000 troops and six Chinese army groups participated in the battle.  Among them, General Zhang Zizhong, commander-in-chief of the 33rd Group Army, died heroically in the battle.

    From March 1942 to March 1945, the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Myanmar to fight. The participating troops were the 5th, 6th, 8th, and 66th armies and the 11th and 20th group armies, totaling more than 260,000 people. The commander-in-chief was General Du Yuming.  The Japanese troops participating in the war were the 18th, 33rd, 55th, and 56th divisions, with a total of more than 100,000 troops. The Chinese army killed more than 50,000 Japanese troops at a cost of 67,000 casualties, and won the Battle of Yunnan and Burma.

    From April to December 1944, the Japanese army launched the Henan-Hunan-Guangxi Campaign, concentrating more than 500,000 troops to attack the Ping-Han, Guangdong-Han, and Hunan-Guangxi railway lines.  In the eight-month battle, the Chinese Kuomintang army lost 500,000 to 600,000 troops and lost most or part of Henan, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Guizhou and other provinces, leaving more than 200,000 square kilometers of land in the hands of the enemy and more than 6,000  Thousands of compatriots living in Japannbsp; Zhang Xueliang was grinning because of the noise, but when he saw some young officers and elders among the people below saying nothing and looking thoughtful and solemn, he felt relieved and said in his heart, it seems that there are still people who support me. After all, I have been fighting for so many years.  , and it¡¯s a civil war, so you should be tired of it.

    Wang Yizhe, who was on the side, saw Zhang Xueliang's predicament, and said sternly with a sullen look on his face: "Quiet! Quiet! Listen to what the young marshal has to say!"

    Waiting for the scene to barely quiet down, Zhang Xueliang took a breath and "enlightened everyone" and said: "I understand everyone's thoughts. How can Xueliang not know what you said, but what have you gained after fighting for so many years? When my father was alive, he once said  An American reporter who interviewed him said that his greatest wish in his life is the reunification of the country. After the country is unified, everyone will work together to build our country, and the guns will never be used to attack our compatriots. My father has never betrayed the country and sought glory in his life.  This is something that everyone has seen. Since we want the country to be unified, what difference does it make whether the president is Chiang Kai-shek or I, Zhang Xueliang?"

    "What the Marshal said is absolutely true!" Yu Xuezhong, commander of the 20th Army of the Fourth Front Army and commander of the Linsui Garrison, was the first to agree. "This move conforms to the national interests, benefits the country and the people, and unifies the north and the south of our country.  This will end the scene of division and separatism, and the Chinese nation can unite to build the country. This move also comforts the spirit of the late Prime Minister in heaven!"

    "Well, the young commander is wise! This move is really a blessing for the nation!" Wang Shuchang, Li Du, Wu Keren, Su Bingwen, Zou Zuohua and other young officers all agreed.

    "But -" Wan Fulin hesitated, "if we surrender to Chiang Kai-shek like this, how will we gain a foothold in the future?"

    "Don't worry about this! We are submitting to the Central Committee, not surrendering." Zhang Xueliang took out Chiang Kai-shek's reply and said, "I have called Chairman Chiang to suspend military operations and expressed my intention. Chairman Chiang also agreed, and soon Nanjing  We will have to negotiate with people to negotiate, and I will work hard to maintain the autonomy of the Northeast and try not to allow central forces to infiltrate the Northeast, and everyone¡¯s wealth will not be handed over to others in vain.¡±

    After learning about the fate of the family issue they were most concerned about, everyone took reassurance and agreed with Zhang Xueliang's proposition.

    "These are just the first eight characters, what about the last eight characters?" Zhang Zuoxiang, who was silent for a long time, said slowly.

    "Hmph! The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!" Zhang Xueliang suddenly turned cold as ice and said, "In ancient times, people lived on firewood and tasted courage. Today, I, Zhang Xueliang, will imitate the ancients who sharpened their swords for ten years and took revenge. After internal and external troubles are resolved, we will vigorously develop Northeast China.  Military education, industry and commerce, many undertakings, the day our Northeast rises will be the day the enemy pays the price!"

    "Okay!" Zhang Zuoxiang stood up and said loudly, "It's a blessing for the Northeast that the young marshal is so clear-minded! We will continue to assist the young marshal to achieve great things just like we assisted the old marshal!"

    Everyone said one after another: "We will be loyal to the young marshal!"

    "Humph!" Yang Yuting snorted and walked away, while Chang Yinhuai also sat there with an unhappy face and did not move.

    Zhang Xueliang looked at the respectful crowd and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The reaction of Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai was also what he expected. Originally, these two people were extremely opposed to Yi Zhi. Of course, there were many people here.  Based on my own little calculation, I will deal with these later slowly.

    In the end, the parliament unanimously elected Zhang Xueliang as the official security commander-in-chief of the three northeastern provinces and the security commander of Fengtian Province. He took up various positions. Zhang Xueliang succeeded Zhang Zuolin and took over the highest military and political power in Northeast China as he wished.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
