What Liu Xiangwan did not expect was that he actually almost "cast his own net".
He Yingqin invited Deng Hanxiang, an aide who had accompanied Liu Xiang to Beijing, and forwarded to him a handwritten letter from Chiang Kai-shek to the effect that he would implement the resolutions of the army reorganization meeting.
According to the resolution of the meeting, not only should the Sichuan army be reduced by two-tenths, but also Liu Xiang's use of human rights and financial rights in the army should be weakened or even abolished. The meeting was held before the July 7 Incident, because the sudden outbreak of the July 7 Incident led to the adjournment of the meeting in the middle of the meeting, and the resolution was not implemented; Liu Xiang, Deng Hanxiang, and others originally thought that they could not do it, but Chiang Kai-shek actually remembered that even if the enemy was present, he still could not forget to stab Liu Xiang and his Sichuan army in the neck.
While being surprised, Deng Hanxiang hurriedly said to He Yingqin: "Now that we have decided to resist the war, why should we still implement the resolution?" Liu Fucheng personally would not have any problem with this, but the officers and men of the Sichuan Army would inevitably have a misunderstanding, believing that the central authorities did not trust the Sichuan Army and reduce their courage to go out to Sichuan to resist the war. ”
As he was speaking, Liu Xiang came to the door. Deng Hanxiang could not avoid it, so he had to hand over the letter to Liu Xiang. When Liu Xiang looked at it, it was as if he had been poured a basin of cold water head-on, and he couldn't hold his breath for a while, and his face changed on the ground. He Yingqin saw that the situation was not good, and quickly got up to fight the round field: "This matter is still under discussion, Brother Fu Cheng, don't worry." ”
After He Yingqin returned, he reported to Chiang Kai-shek on Liu Xiang's reaction, but when he saw Liu Xiangjunchen again, he still helplessly put his hands together: "Mr. Jiang believes that the whole army case must be implemented, and he is very resolute. ”
Chiang Kai-shek's such a rough and resolute response made Liu Xiang's face even more ugly, and he said to Deng Hanxiang in a low tone: "You should talk to Minister He about the situation in Sichuan." Deng Hanxiang understood and immediately said to He Yingqin: "At present, we are anxious to resist the war, and if we want to reorganize the armies, we will not be able to transfer the troops. ”
He Yingqin didn't know what to do, and promised to go to Old Jiang again. As soon as He Yingqin left on his front foot, Liu Xiang said to Deng Hanxiang, "Or let's sneak back to Sichuan first." ”
At the critical time, Deng Hanxiang appeared more calm and rational: "Even if you want to slip, don't show the horse's feet, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to go." ”
He Yingqin twice encountered a wall, so that Chiang Kai-shek could not help but go out on his own horse, he asked Deng Hanxiang to go to talk, and when they met, he asked: "How have you been discussing in the past few days?" ”
Deng Hanxiang said: "The matter of sending troops has already been discussed. As for the implementation of the conference on the reorganization of the army, Chairman Liu has always obeyed the order and has no opinions. However—" Looking up at Chiang Kai-shek, he continued cautiously: "But I imagine for the chairman of the committee that when this War of Resistance employs personnel, can the implementation of the whole army conference be suspended?" ”
Before Deng Hanxiang could finish speaking, Chiang Kai-shek became angry: "No matter what country in the world, the military and the government are not unified, is there any way for that country?" ”
Deng Hanxiang plucked up the courage to retort: "Yunnan, Guangxi, shanxi, the military and government are still the same, and not only Sichuan is a special province, so why should Sichuan be blamed alone?" ”
