In 1935, on the eve of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japan, these dangerous signals had already been smelled in The country, and coupled with the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo and the 129 Incident in Shanghai, the various crimes committed by the Japanese army on the mainland had already been revealed.
At this time, the two parties showed signs of letting go of each other, and even Chen Liguo, the head of the Kuomintang, urgently arranged for his subordinates to contact the Communists to discuss the grand plan of joint resistance against Japan.
The Kuomintang "relaxed" to talk about cooperation and sent people to be lobbyists
It was at this juncture that Chen Liguo discovered that because of the previous large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Communist Party, the Communists died and fled, and some were forced to quit the Party halfway, and in the end there were not many Communist Parties he could contact. However, at this time, Chen Liguo thought of one person, that is, Zuo Gong.
Zuo Gong's real identity is that of an underground party member, but because this person is very cautious and has not been exposed, everyone does not know his true identity. However, due to the long-term licking of blood on the tip of the knife, No matter how Zuo Gong covered up his identity, he was still suspected by Chen Liguo and others, believing that he was willing to pour in.
Since this man is so inclined to the Communist Party, it should not be wrong to send him out to contact the Communist Party. So Chen Liguo sent his liaison officer Zhang Zihua to find Zuo Gong. Zuo Gong also pointed out to him a member of the Enlightenment Society, Chen Xiaocen, and asked him to contact Zhang Zihua in a single line.
Zhang Zihua was only in his early 20s at that time, but as a member of the secret service organization, Zhang Zihua was meticulous and the city government was extremely deep, and generally did not easily say his movements and the tasks assigned by his superiors. Therefore, when contacting Chen Xiaocen, Zhang Zihua did not fully state the recent tasks and the terms of the negotiations of the Kuomintang upper echelons, but only implied that the Kuomintang should cooperate with the Communists to jointly deal with the Japanese Kou, and proposed that he hoped to go to Wayao Fort in northern Shaanxi with Chen Xiaocen.
However, due to the chaos of the ten bureaus at that time, it was not an easy task to go to northern Shaanxi, so they could only find Song Qingling first and put forward their original purpose of going to northern Shaanxi. Song Qingling had great love in her heart, and she understood that the most important thing at the moment was to be able to get the two parties to cooperate sincerely, and since the Kuomintang side took the initiative to ask for contact and cooperation with the Communist Party, this was a great thing, so she immediately sent someone to send Zhang Zihua and Chen Xiaocen to the airport without saying a word, and gave enough money to go to Wayao Fort.
Not long after, the plane quickly and smoothly arrived in Xi'an, where Zhang Xueliang had been stationed for a long time, in fact, Zhang Xueliang had always been dissatisfied with what Chiang Kai-shek had done. Originally, he was worried that he would not have the opportunity to contact the Communist Party to discuss the joint plan, but at this time, Chen Xiaocen and Zhang Zihua sent two people to the door, which made Xueliang overjoyed. Chen Xiaocen also knew that Zhang Xueliang was a warm-hearted patriotic soldier. After explaining his intentions, he introduced Zhang Xueliang to an adviser, who was none other than Liu Ding, a communist.
Liu Ding has been hiding in Xi'an since Gu Shunzhang's rebellion. At that time, Zhang Xueliang also deliberately wanted to get closer to the Communist Party after experiencing many things, and Liu Ding's appearance was an ordinary bright light, which instantly illuminated Zhang Xueliang's confused mood. As soon as Liu Ding saw Zhang Xueliang, he gave a general description of some of the lines and directions of the Communist Party, which was obviously very much to Zhang Xueliang's appetite, and the two of them had a great deal of seeing each other and hating each other.
Next, Liu Ding would reflect the Communist Party line to Zhang Xueliang almost every day, and seeing that Zhang Xueliang was so interested in the Communist Party, the CCP also had a heart of intentional co-optation. In fact, both sides understand that Liu Ding's appearance also means that the Communist Party has opened a door to Zhang Xueliang. On the other hand, Zhang Xueliang sent people to let Zhang Zihua and Chen Xiaocen board their private planes and send them directly to Wayao Fort.
The "United Communists resisted Japan" had a trap, but fortunately Chairman Mao woke up in time
After the two arrived at Wayao Fort and soon met with Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, and many others, Chen Xiaocen expressed this wish of the Kuomintang. Since the Communist Party has just completed the Long March, its vitality is constantly recovering. Therefore, they were eager to move against Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang's proposal to unite with the Communist Party of Japan. Zhang Zihua, who had always been silent all the way, only then did he open his mouth, and he said another plan brought by the Kuomintang, only to see that the Kuomintang had put forward four conditions in order to express its sincerity.
Second, during the war against Japan, the communist army and the nationalist army can be treated equally; third, if there is a suggestion, welcome to put it forward, and then choose it; fourth, the communist party can choose a region to test the political manager's thoughts. If these four conditions are not thought deeply, it is very likely that they will fall into a trap.
At that time, after Premier Zhou exchanged views with other representative figures, he felt that this was the sincerity of the Kuomintang, but did not think deeply about it, and at the moment believed that the Kuomintang really had the intention to unite with the Communist Party to resist Japan. However, Chairman Mao, after carefully pondering these four conditions, found clues, and he reminded us that at this time we should not contact Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan, but force Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan.
In the midst of everyone's confusion, Chairman Mao expressed his thoughts; it turned out that Chiang Kai-shek was a cultural man, and he was very easy to trap himself with words; these four conditions did not seem to be a big problem at first glance, but these conditions were all explicitly intended to merge the Communist Party with security.
Chairman Mao's remarks gave everyone present a wake-up call, and after rethinking Chiang Kai-shek's four conditions, they were also frightened into a cold sweat, and it turned out that Chiang Kai-shek was still playing such a calculation behind his back. After all, at this juncture, it was not far from the time when he encircled and suppressed the Communist Party, and a person with such ambitions could not let go of all his defenses so quickly.
Because of this, our side feels that this matter is not simply a matter of disagreement with the Kuomintang, but needs to be negotiated with the Kuomintang. So our side continued to send people to negotiate with the Kuomintang, and directly pointed out the four conditions mentioned by the Kuomintang before, and sure enough, the Kuomintang side revealed its true face.
At the negotiating table, the kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek's original four conditions were changed to three conditions, and all the words in them were changed, to the effect that: First, the Communist army must be abolished. Second, the army retains a maximum of 3,000 people, and all cadres of the army of more than 3,000 are waiting to be hired or go abroad. Third, if the army problem can be solved, other problems will be easy to deal with.
That is to say, if the Communist Party is not successful, then it is better to continue to suppress it. It seems that Chiang Kai-shek did not have the will to truly unite with the Communists to resist Japan, and what he said about the anti-Japanese resistance was only an additional condition, and this condition was to make the Communist Party retreat and give up its dominance.
However, when the Kuomintang revealed its real ambitions, the Communist Side calmed down a lot, because under Chairman Mao's arrangements and arrangements, everyone had already reached a consensus with Soong Ching-ling and other patriots from all walks of life on the anti-Japanese coalition line. When the Negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communists reached an impasse, it was not until 1936 that Generals Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng gave "military advice" to Chiang Kai-shek that they tacitly accepted the idea of cooperating with the Communists to resist Japan.
epilogue
To tell the truth, Chiang Kai-shek's ability to play this kind of word game is enough to show that he has a strong ability to control words, but he underestimated his opponents. If this ability is not used in the right place, it will only be able to eat its own consequences.
Sure enough, the days when Generals Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang "advised Chiang Kai-shek" were also the days when Chiang Kai-shek was most feared, and after that, a vigorous and all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression began.
