From then on, Chiang Kai-shek must have absolute trust in Jiang Weiguo and obey his words. Even if Jiang Weiguo rebelled against Chiang Kai-shek and had already killed Chiang Kai-shek with a knife, Chiang Kai-shek would think that Jiang Weiguo was joking.

In the Xi'an Incident, Jiang Weiguo, who had won the absolute trust of Chiang Kai-shek, was the first winner, and the CCP, which survived from desperation, was only the second winner.

Chiang Kai-shek was released by Zhang Xueliang on December 12, stayed in Luoyang for another seven or eight days, and finally returned to Nanjing on December 22. Time also entered the new 12 with this event that shocked China and the world.

On January [-]rd, the Supreme Military Court of the Military Commission, with Li Liejun, a member of the Central Supervisory Committee, as the presiding judge, sentenced Zhang Xueliang to "conspiracy with the party and coercion of the commander-in-chief" and other crimes. He was sentenced to ten years in prison and deprived of his citizenship rights for five years ".

Five days later, the National Government Committee accepted the request submitted by Chiang Kai-shek, and the National Government Chairman Lin Sen announced that Zhang Xueliang would be pardoned and released, but "still handed over to the Military Commission for strict control."

Chiang Kai-shek, who returned to Nanjing, finally "revived the majesty of the king" from the trough of the tiger's fall in Pingyang, and began to settle accounts one by one for those who fell into trouble or had ulterior motives after his fall.

First of all, the biggest culprit is of course He Yingqin, Minister of the Military and Political Department of the Nationalist Government. He has been plotting and trying to take the opportunity to kill and replace Chiang Kai-shek throughout the whole incident.

However, He Yingqin is a first-class veteran after all, and his influence in the government and the national army is extremely intertwined. He has been the number one general under Chiang Kai-shek since the Northern Expedition. He is his protégé and old official.

Although Chiang Kai-shek has confirmed that He Yingqin has ambitions in private, he also has scruples and cannot directly cut down this big tree with deep roots and luxuriant branches. However, it is necessary to knock the mountain to shake the tiger and kill a hundred. Beat a few dogs to show their owners Look, it can be regarded as an indirect punishment and deterrent.

Naturally, when Chiang Kai-shek was away, the group of activists who were busy with Yingqin's "ascension to the throne" and actively making noises naturally became Chiang Kai-shek's unlucky ghosts who killed chickens for monkeys.

Following Chiang Kai-shek's thunderous fury, these activists, who were too busy at the beginning, fell into bad luck one after another.

"I was in trouble in Xi'an, and you were fighting for rebellion in Nanjing. You shouted slogans all day long, and charged while sitting on the ground! Mother Xipi, I'm not dead yet, so you won't listen to me! If I die, you won't listen to me!" Throw my coffin to the sky!" Chiang Kai-shek yelled at He Zhonghan, Deng Wenyi and others, and these people completely lost Chiang Kai-shek's trust and favor from then on, and they were all thrown into idle jobs or directly dismissed from all their posts, and their official careers fell into a slump.

For a long time, the He Yingqin faction has been the largest faction in the national army. Seventy-eight out of ten senior generals of the Central Army are the backbone members of the He faction. Chen Cheng, who suffered with him in the Xi'an Incident, made the "civil engineering department" headed by Chen Cheng more and more prosperous, and quickly became the second largest faction and continued to catch up with the He faction.

There is no doubt that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to support Chen Cheng to counter, suppress, and replace He Yingqin.

One group was punished and another group was rewarded. Of course, during the internal rectification of punishment and rewards, what Chiang Kai-shek felt most was his wife Song Meiling and his second son Jiang Weiguo, who had seen the truth in adversity and went deep into the tiger's den to live and die with him and share weal and woe. , and his feelings for Jiang Weiguo surpassed that of Song Meiling. First, Jiang Weiguo went to Xi'an on the second day of the incident, earlier, and secondly, Jiang Weiguo was shot and almost died during the incident, and he paid a higher price.

Chiang Kai-shek once wrote in his diary that "my wife and I love each other very deeply", "my wife has made great contributions to Yu's assistance", "my son Weiguo is intelligent, wise, sincere and filial, and it is indeed a blessing from God to Yu, and Yu is very fortunate and loves him." , "Every time I think about his loyal and filial deeds of serving the country uprightly and protecting Yu Yu bravely, it is heartfelt and beyond words" and other praises and praises.

Chiang Kai-shek must reward Jiang Weiguo well. There is no suspense. Originally, Jiang Weiguo was dismissed because of "driving a tank to snatch a woman". In the Xi'an Incident, he was promoted to Major (Yang Mei was promoted from Lieutenant to Captain).

As for money, Jiang Weiguo was short of money, but Chiang Kai-shek gave Jiang Weiguo tens of thousands of oceans and didn't like it.

The most important thing is that Jiang Weiguo gained the absolute trust of Chiang Kai-shek because of this, and that is enough.

Chapter 101 Leisurely

Although Jiang Weiguo was very anxious because of the time constraints, after all, it has not been long since the July [-]th Incident in history, but he can't act too hastily, he must take good care of his body.

For the next three months, Jiang Weiguo stayed in Luoyang to recuperate from his injuries.

After being able to barely get out of bed and walk, Jiang Weiguo immediately asked Cai Wenna to help him to visit Yangmei in the next ward. Yangmei was shot twice and her injuries were a little more serious than Jiang Weiguo's, but she woke up earlier than Jiang Weiguo.

When Jiang Weiguo saw Yangmei again, he saw her lying quietly on the hospital bed in a daze, with a dazed look on her face.

Jiang Weiguo walked forward with difficulty. He held back his words and wanted to talk to Yang Mei, but Yang Mei seemed listless, even depressed. Seeing Cai Wenna who was supporting Jiang Weiguo, she showed a helpless smile.

"I..." Jiang Weiguo wanted to explain, but he was speechless after saying "I" seven or eight times in a row, because he had nothing to say.

Yang Mei doesn't seem to be jealous. After all, this is an era without monogamy, which makes Jiang Weiguo feel even more guilty.

Jiang Weiguo was hospitalized, and the people who came to visit him must be like crucian carp crossing the river. Although "idle people and others" were directly turned away, there were still batches of people who met the requirements and were able to visit him in the hospital.

The first batch was Sun Tao and a few other guards. Jiang Weiguo's "Four Guards" originally had missions. Sun Tao and Weng Yong went to recruit Jiang Weiguo's talents who could become special forces, and Chen Ming and Sun Jian went to Jiang Weiguo to go to the university. Members of the Bureau of Statistics heard that Jiang Weiguo was assassinated, and Sun Tao and others hurriedly left their work and rushed over. Before Jiang Weiguo woke up, Sun Tao and the others were very anxious and blamed themselves, regretting that they were not by his side. After Jiang Weiguo woke up, Sun Tao and the others were all happy Crazy and weeping with joy.

Although Jiang Weiguo ordered Sun Tao and the others to continue the task, they all didn't want to leave and wanted to stay by Jiang Weiguo's side to protect Jiang Weiguo. In the end, Weng Yong and Sun Jian continued the two recruiting tasks, while Sun Tao, Chen Ming, Zhu Peifeng and Yao Jinhe stayed The hospital protects Jiang Weiguo, and the protection is indistinguishable and inseparable. Even when Jiang Weiguo went to the toilet, several guards were standing next to him, loaded with bullets and looking around murderously, as if an assassin would come out of the latrine.

Because of Jiang Weiguo, a heavyweight wounded, the security force of this hospital has reached an unprecedented level. There are no less than [-] soldiers on the surface, and at least [-] plainclothes agents mixed in and out of the hospital and even in Luoyang city.

When Jiang Weiguo recovered a little bit, Cai Wenna pushed him to breathe in a wheelchair. As soon as he left the inpatient department, he was startled: "Is this still a fucking hospital?" He even suspected that the Sino-Japanese war had already broken out in advance , because this hospital has almost become a military stronghold. A large number of soldiers with live ammunition surrounded the hospital with three floors inside and outside, and there were patrolling soldiers in the corridors, passages, and open spaces. There are light machine guns everywhere, and snipers are set up on several commanding heights in and around the hospital. There are obviously plainclothes observation posts in dozens of buildings near the hospital. Subject to strict body search.

It is worth mentioning that when Jiang Weiguo was receiving treatment in this hospital, the doctors discovered that he had type A blood, while both Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo had type O blood. Of course, the doctors who discovered this did not dare to speak out.

The more you know, the more dangerous your life will be. The best way is to keep the secret in your stomach.

Liu Fengling and Yi Shuihan then came to Luoyang to visit Jiang Weiguo. They came to visit on behalf of Du Yuming, Zheng Dongguo and others in the army.

Du Yuming and others asked Liu Fengling and Yi Shuihan to tell Jiang Weiguo that the troops were as good as ever, with better equipment, better training and higher morale.

The 918th Regiment, which was originally in Chongqing, had withdrawn to Nanjing, and the two infantry divisions of the Central Army took over the position of the 918th Regiment and controlled Chongqing.

During the Xi'an Incident, some units of the Sichuan Army almost misfired with the 918th Regiment. Fortunately, the incident was quickly resolved, so the Sichuan Army withdrew from Chongqing.

In addition, Chongqing’s wartime defense system is still in progress in an orderly manner. Air-raid shelters are being dug, airports are being built, anti-aircraft artillery positions and air-raid early warning stations are being set up, air defense knowledge is being promoted, and Chiang Kai-shek has appointed Lieutenant General Huang Zhenqiu specialized in air defense) is fully responsible for this matter.

The next person to look at Jiang Weiguo was Guy Rothschild, a Jew who was in charge of Jewish affairs in China in cooperation with China.

When Guy came to visit Jiang Weiguo, he not only asked about his health, but also left a check with a face value of 30 US dollars before leaving.

After learning that Jiang Weiguo was awake, Chiang Kai-shek immediately took the time to fly to Luoyang to see his son without stopping.

When the father and son saw each other again, they naturally "expressed their true feelings". Chiang Kai-shek sat beside Jiang Weiguo's hospital bed for more than two hours, holding Jiang Weiguo's hand, and repeatedly said various words of concern. Very well-behaved, his mouth was full of tear-jerking words such as "As long as you are okay, father, even if I really die, I will die without regret", which moved Chiang Kai-shek so much that he almost shed tears on the spot.

After all, Chiang Kai-shek is busy with official duties. Due to the stimulation of the Xi'an Incident, the international situation, especially the situation between China and Japan, has become increasingly severe, and what Zhang Xueliang has done has also disrupted Chiang Kai-shek's original national policy of "to fight against the outside world first, and to secure the interior first". There are too many things to do. Chiang Kai-shek went to deal with it, and in addition that Jiang Weiguo had turned the corner, Chiang Kai-shek was completely relieved, and returned to Nanjing that day. Before leaving, he left a check for one thousand oceans to Jiang Weiguo.

Of course, this is just what Chiang Kai-shek meant. He knew that Jiang Weiguo didn’t have to worry about money at all (Jiang Weiguo’s money must be stretched when it is used for state affairs, but it must be rich when used for personal life, but it is impossible for Jiang Weiguo to do that), and The 1000 yuan was not taken from the treasury by Chiang Kai-shek, but from his own salary (Chiang Kai-shek’s monthly salary is 800 yuan, and as the chairman of the committee, he can also receive another 3 yuan from the treasury every month as a "special fee" ), it was a kindness from the father to his son; in addition, Chiang Kai-shek went to the next room to visit Yangmei, expressed his condolences gently, and left a check for 2000 yuan before leaving. The money came from the treasury, after all. Yang Mei was injured on duty.

Just after Chiang Kai-shek left, another important person came to visit Jiang Weiguo and sent a large sum of condolences. It was Yan Xishan, chairman of Shanxi Province.

Yan Xishan is the famous "King of Shanxi". Since the Revolution of 1949, he has controlled the military and political power of Shanxi Province. Historically, he did not lose his right to rule Shanxi Province until 38. He ruled Shanxi Province for [-] years.

During the Central Plains War, Yan Xishan was defeated by Jiang Weiguo's father, and fled to the Japanese-occupied Dalian to stay dormant. After the September [-]th Incident, the Northeast fell, and North China died, and Shanxi Province bore the brunt. Its strategic position became increasingly important. Because Yan Xishan is from Shanxi, he is very attentive to the construction and development of Shanxi Province. Under his rule, Shanxi Province, an inland province without an outlet to the sea, can be said to have a strong army, a healthy life and a prosperous economy. China's "model province", so Yan Xishan's prestige in Shanxi Province is very high. When he was kicked out by Chiang Kai-shek, Shanxi Province lost its backbone.

In order to stand up to the Japanese in North China, and Yan Xishan sincerely apologized and admitted his mistakes to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek forgave Yan Xishan and let him regain control of Shanxi Province. In the "Xi'an Incident" that happened not long ago, Yan Xishan made a clear stand Supporting Chiang Kai-shek and running around to rescue Chiang Kai-shek (in fact, Zhang Xueliang cheated Yan Xishan in the Central Plains War, Yan Xishan could not support Zhang Xueliang), further won Chiang Kai-shek's trust in him.

When Yan Xishan came to visit Jiang Weiguo, he first took the opportunity to express his loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek, and secondly, he expressed his gratitude to Jiang Weiguo.

Historically, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army invaded China in two ways, one from north to south, attacking North China, and the other from east to west, attacking East China.

On the North China battlefield, the main forces resisting the Japanese were Yan Xishan's Shanxi Army, Song Zheyuan's Hebei Army, Han Fuju's Shandong Army, and the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China.

Undoubtedly, in the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek, these four troops are all motley troops. On the one hand, Chiang Kai-shek hopes that these motley troops can withstand the Japanese army's iron heels, and on the other hand, he hopes that the Japanese army can "help" him eliminate these motley troops. It is best for both sides to fight together. In this way, he will save a lot of trouble and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Therefore, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance in North China, Chiang Kai-shek basically did not send the Central Army to reinforce (all the elites of the Central Army were thrown into the Songhu battlefield in East China by him). As a result, Song Zheyuan was defeated by the Japanese army due to lack of backup and vacillating positions. Han Fuju directly led his troops to abandon Shandong Province. Yan Xishan reluctantly started the war of resistance in Shanxi Province, but also lost most of the territory of Shanxi Province due to isolation and helplessness.

Jiang Weiguo has been trying his best to make up for China's mistakes before and during the War of Resistance, so he attaches great importance to the North China battlefield. He cannot send heavy troops to North China now. First, Chiang Kai-shek will not agree. Others would think that the Central Army was here to grab territory, but he also took precautions and repeatedly asked Zhou Zhirou to build several large airports in North China.

After Zhou Zhirou asked Chiang Kai-shek for instructions and got approval, he sent a telegram asking Yan Xishan, Song Zheyuan, and Han Fuju to build large airports in Taiyuan, Baoding, and Jinan respectively (Chiang Kai-shek agreed because he didn’t need to pay at all. Anyway, it was paid by local warlords.

In addition, it is one thing to repair the airport, but it is another thing to send planes there after the airport is repaired). Yan Xishan, Song Zheyuan, and Han Fuju are very welcome to this. It is of great significance to send planes to help the war. Although they pay for the repair of the airport themselves, they are also willing and wishing for it.

Yan Xishan learned that Jiang Weiguo strongly advocated the construction of the airport in Taiyuan, so he had a good impression of Jiang Weiguo, so he came to visit and express his thanks at this time.

"Second son, this is my heartfelt wish for you on behalf of the 100 million folks in Shanxi Province. I hope you will accept it. I wish you a speedy recovery!" In the ward, Yan Xishan smiled sweetly.

Jiang Weiguo looked at Yan Xishan's check on the bedside table, it was a full 30 yuan, and there were also a large number of supplements.

Yan Xishan took out such a sum of money, in addition to expressing his loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek and expressing his gratitude to Jiang Weiguo, he also wanted to further deepen Jiang Weiguo's favor for himself and Shanxi Province, and hoped that he could help in the war of resistance in the future. A major battalion commander who was as big as a sesame seed and mung bean, but he was Chiang Kai-shek's son, and his words in Chiang Kai-shek's ear were worth as much as ten generals. That's why Yan Xishan, who was always known for being "stingy and stingy", was so generous.

"Mr. Yan, thank you!" Jiang Weiguo said very modestly, "Mr. Yan, Shanxi Province must bear the brunt of the war between China and Japan. You and the soldiers and civilians of the three Jin Dynasties are the mainstay of our country's resistance to Japan. The burden on your shoulders is very heavy! Look forward to it! Take care of your body!"

Yan Xishan's affection for Jiang Weiguo increased greatly. After all, this young Jiang was very polite, polite, and decent: "Since Xishan is the chairman of Shanxi Province and a high-ranking party and state, he should do his best to protect the environment, the people, and the country. The meager strength!"

"Mr. Yan," Jiang Weiguo's expression became serious, "The Taiyuan arsenal you founded is the leading large-scale arsenal in our country. If the Japanese invade Shanxi Province, Taiyuan must be the first target of the Japanese invaders. We will deploy personnel, property, and equipment as soon as possible. The transfer of materials, materials and other aspects is already urgent, especially the Taiyuan Arsenal. It would be a pity if it fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders like Zhang Xueliang’s Shenyang Arsenal. I suggest that you transfer it here, Luoyang as soon as possible.

I think that the Jinsui Army can transfer a division to Luoyang to defend Luoyang and the Taiyuan arsenal that was transferred here.

My father would definitely approve!"

"Oh?" Yan Xishan stroked his beard and became interested in Jiang Weiguo's proposal.

"I accept the 30 yuan!" Jiang Weiguo said, "but now I entrust you, Chief Yan, to use the 30 yuan for the transfer of the Taiyuan Arsenal.

Officer Yan, please!" He was very sincere.

Yan Xishan looked at Jiang Weiguo in surprise, and said with emotion: "The second son is devoted to the country, it's really admirable!"

When Jiang Weiguo made this suggestion, he had no other ideas, but hoped that the Taiyuan Arsenal, the second largest in the country, would not fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

In addition to Guy, Dad Chiang Kai-shek, and Yan Xishan, there are still many people who spent money to condolences to Jiang Weiguo. The one who gave the most was Hitler. He sent 200 million US dollars to Jiang Weiguo, and then the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia headed by Mr. 50 U.S. dollars, 30 U.S. dollars were remitted by American overseas Chinese headed by Situ Gong, and [-] U.S. dollars were also remitted by European overseas Chinese.

Jiang Weiguo was injured and hospitalized this time, but he made a fortune. He made a total of three to four million US dollars. Of course, he used the money for state affairs.

During the period of recuperation in Luoyang, Jiang Weiguo lived leisurely and anxiously. The leisurely thing is that there are not so many things that he, the wounded, needs to do by himself. The anxious thing is that he feels that he is wasting time, but he has to be patient and slow. Fortunately, he is very "happy and happy" here. Needless to say, Yang Mei has already been "soaked" by him, and Cai Wenna has become "another boat" that Jiang Weiguo stepped on without any accident. The relationship between the two is growing day by day. If it wasn't for the injury and his body didn't allow it, Jiang Weiguo would have boarded the boat with a ticket to Cai Wenna, but at the same time, "Success is Xiao He, and failure is Xiao He", Jiang Weiguo "is happy because of women, and troubles are also because of women", Shi Li Ling had always wanted to come to Luoyang from Suzhou, but Jiang Weiguo didn't dare to see her at all, so Mrs. Yao dispelled her idea after trying to say something. In fact, it was not convenient for Shi Li Ling to come to Luoyang, as she was already pregnant for eight months.

After entering 1937, the situation in China was like before the arrival of a thunderstorm.

In January, the West Route Army suffered heavy losses, and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China moved to Yan'an;

In February, the Northeast Army and Northwest Army (Small Northwest Army, Seventeenth Route Army) began to be comprehensively reorganized and reorganized by the Nationalist Government. The Northeast Army was reorganized into 2 infantry corps and 5 cavalry corps, and the Northwest Army was reorganized into 1 infantry corps. military;

On February 2, the Japanese army stationed in North China obtained the right to garrison troops in Fengtai District, Beiping City through the "Fengtai Incident";

On February 2, the Spring Festival, Jiang Weiguo spent time with Yang Mei, Cai Wenna and others in Luoyang Hospital;

In March, the West Route Army was completely defeated. More than 3 people were killed in battle, and more than 7000 people were captured. Half of the captured people were massacred;

On March 3th, Song Meiling's 5th birthday (this day is also Premier Zhou's birthday).

According to Jiang Weiguo's instructions, Jiang Weiguo Automobile Factory gave Song Meiling the first "Meiling" car that had been officially manufactured and had undergone bulletproof modification as a gift from Jiang Weiguo;

On March 3, Zhou Enlai, the general political commissar of the Communist Party of China, arrived in Hangzhou to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek on the reorganization of the regime in the Red Base and the Red Army;

On the same day, Jiang Weiguo officially became a father.

Looking at the "good news telegram" sent by Mrs. Yao from Suzhou, Jiang Weiguo couldn't laugh or cry. Mrs. Yao told Jiang Weiguo that Shi Liling gave birth successfully in a hospital in Shanghai. He was a very healthy boy. The Cheng family named him "Cheng Yujie". Mrs. Yao secretly named him "Jiang Xiaojie", because this boy is the "seed" of Jiang Weiguo, and Jiang Weiguo's next generation of Jiang's children are ranked in the word "filial piety", so Cheng Yujie's real name should be "Jiang Xiaojie", of course However, Cheng Yujie cannot be allowed to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan now. Cheng Yujie can be officially renamed Jiang Xiaojie only after Jiang Weiguo officially marries Shi Liting.

"It's none of my business!" Jiang Weiguo was very depressed, "It's so unfair to be responsible for the result without enjoying the process!"

Jiang Weiguo is really depressed, because if he accepts Shi Liling, he will definitely accept this Cheng Yujie/Jiang Xiaojie, and he will probably also accept the child born by Shi Liling and Cheng Jinguan (Shi Liling has already given birth to two children, both of whom are The boy, the first one belonged to Cheng Jinguan, the second belonged to Jiang Weiguo), also a boy named Cheng Yujun, Mrs. Yao couldn’t wait to change that Cheng Yujun’s name to “Jiang Xiaojun” secretly; more than that, Jiang Weiguo accepted Cai Wenna In the future, I will be a father again, because Cai Wenna has already given birth to a daughter with Yang Sen, named Yang Xiaojie (Yang Xiaojie's childhood name is Yang Xiaojie, when Cai Wenna gave birth to her, Yang Sen happened to have a small victory, so she was named "Xiaojie", later Changed to the homophonic "Xiaojie"), naturally, this Yang Xiaojie will change her name to "Jiang Xiaojie" with Jiang Weiguo's surname Jiang because her mother Cai Wenna remarried Jiang Weiguo.

With three children, Jiang Weiguo was very depressed.
