The small temple has obviously been renovated. The Buddha statues in the main hall have been moved away and have been transformed into a living room for entertaining guests. The living room is arranged in a traditional Chinese way, which looks simple. """ The tables and coffee tables are covered with white tablecloths, and the yard and living room are cleaned. There are two small trees that have not yet been grown in the yard. It can be seen that the planting time has not been long, and the soil on the ground is relatively new.

Zhang Qun looked around and felt quite satisfied: "It seems pretty good. Although the place is a bit off, it is better than Qilin Cave."

Zhang Xueliang shrugged slightly and looked at Zhao Yidi (Ms. Zhao Si): "I'm nothing, I'm just a miserable little sister. I won't say anything, Brother Yue Jun, why have you come to Guizhou? Are you not the director of the Sichuan-Kang Administrative Office?"

Zhang Qun deliberately laughed and joked, "What? The director of the Sichuan-Kang Administrative Administration cannot come to Guizhou? In this way, Li Zongren can only stay in Yaoshui."

Zhang Xueliang was also happy to hear this. Zhang Qun was very happy to see him. There was no time in the mountains, let alone living in seclusion. He was an active person, but the most uncomfortable thing he was detained here was that he had no guests. There were only a few people in these years. Zhang Qun, Wu Dingchang, Yan Baohang, Song Ziwen and Dai Li and others were a handful of them. Except for these people, there were no other people in. Many old friends and subordinates had little reputation.

After two people entered the living room, they wandered around the yard for a few times. Zhao Yidi accompanied him for a while and then called Liu Yiguang to prepare lunch: "Hanqing caught two fish yesterday, and Adjutant Du went to buy chickens."

"Don't be busy, don't be busy, just be casual, just be casual." Zhang Qun waved his hands repeatedly to stop him, and Zhang Xueliang stopped him: "Let her go busy, I have few guests here."

Zhang Qun sighed. When Zhang Xueliang was in charge of the Northeast and controlled North China. Even after September 18th, there were guests in Xi'an and guests were everywhere at home. Now it is not enough to describe it as falling birds at the door. It would be great to be able to come once a year.

Zhang Xueliang didn't ask what Zhang Qun was doing, nor did Zhang Qun mention it. The two of them just chatted in the yard. After a while, Zhang Qun led the topic to reading.

"What book has Hanqing been reading recently?"

During the years of living in seclusion, reading is the best way to spend time. Zhang Xueliang was detained for seven years and also spent time by reading. At first, he read novels, and later he started reading some economic and philosophical books. Last time Zhang Qun came to see him, he saw Hegel's "Logistics".

"I'm interested in Ming history recently and I've entrusted it to buy a set of Ming history," said Zhang Xueliang.

"Oh, okay," Zhang Qun nodded and said: "You can know gains and losses by reading history. In the past, Emperor Taizong of Tang had a three-learning theory. Copper was included in history, correct his clothes, know gains and losses, and understand the rise and fall; many things that happened in history are repeated..."

As the two entered and left the temple gate, they walked slowly towards the lake along the mountain road. Zhang Qun said slowly, and Zhang Xueliang nodded occasionally. In fact, there was a reason why he chose to read Ming History.

When he was angry, he launched the Xi'an Incident. He had no plans beforehand and was hastily resolved afterwards. Now he is imprisoned, and he also knows that Yang Hucheng is also imprisoned. Zhang Xueliang was very dissatisfied with this. He believed that he was not wrong in implementing military rebellion, at least not completely wrong. It brought the anti-Japanese united front and promoted the national war of resistance.

The study of Ming history is because he felt that the late Ming Dynasty was very similar to China today. In the late Ming Dynasty, there were internal and external troubles. Inside, there were peasant army rebelling; outside, there were Jurchens peasantry. The Ming government adopted a two-pronged approach, suppressing internally and resisting externally. In the end, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the peasant army and the Jurchens.

Of course, Zhang Xueliang would not tell Zhang Qun about the purpose of studying this history. He said lightly: "I just started reading it, and the research is still not enough. Guizhou is remote, so this set of Ming Dynasty history was bought from Wuhan."

The mountain wind is light, and the lake surface is slightly rippling. Zhang Qun stood by the lake and took a deep breath. The fresh air in the mountains. Zhang Xueliang squatted down and gently brushed the lake water. The lake water was cold and the skin looked pale and delicate under the clear water. He grabbed a handful of lake water, and the water slid from his fingers, splashing a ball of tiny water droplets.

"The lake and the mountains are beautiful," Zhang Qun sighed intoxicatedly as he looked around the mountains.

"The mountains and water are good, not as good as my hometown. I really want the Black Mountain and White Water in the Northeast!"

Zhang Qun turned his head to look at Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang's face was calm. Looking at the north gaze, there was a faint sadness. Zhang Qun sighed in his heart. Of course, he knew Zhang Xueliang's mood at this time.

Although he was imprisoned in these mountains, Zhang Xueliang was relatively free. Sometimes he could go to the county town after approval and read newspapers every time he could. Of course, the newspapers were designated "Central Daily" and "Sweeping News".

So Zhang Xueliang was very familiar with the war process. During the Battle of Northeast China, he was extremely excited and asked Liu Yiguang to find a large map of Northeast China and hang it in the main hall of the living room. Every time he marked the war process on it, discussing the strategy of military advancement with Liu Yiguang. Liu Yiguang did not receive formal military education, but was a civilian officer. He did not know much about strategy and tactics, and he lacked interest. However, he accompanied Zhang Xueliang to find some fun and kill time.

Although he was singing a one-man show, Zhang Xueliang was happy for two months. However, as the front entered North Korea, the Northeast War Zone Command and the Northeast Headquarters issued various orders. Zhang Xueliang's spirit changed greatly. He often sat in the living room in the middle of the night, staring at the map in a daze. Zhao Yidi felt something was wrong and let the map be put away, and Zhang Xueliang's inner demon was removed. Only then did Zhang Xueliang gradually return to normal.

"Hanqing doesn't have to worry about something," Zhang Qun comforted, but as soon as he said that he felt that this was too pale and powerless. He quietly looked around and watched them reach a distance, and then whispered: "This time, the Chairman sent me to see you. Husband told me quietly that Zhuang Jihua suggested that the Chairman let you go and Yang Hucheng, and the Chairman's attitude had loosened."

Zhang Xueliang was extremely surprised. He looked at Zhang Qun in disbelief. For seven years, he had been hoping to get out of the cage, but after being disappointed again and again, he almost never had hope, but now he hopes to surrender.

"Hanqing, don't be excited. The chairman has not yet let go. Don't even tell the fourth lady about this. Once you know it, there will be no hope for you." Zhang Qun was very scared. If Zhang Xueliang loses control and is sued, he will have nothing to do, but Zhang Xueliang will never be able to get out again.

Zhang Xueliang gradually calmed down. He nodded gratefully to Zhang Qun and said that he understood the pros and cons. After a while, he suddenly frowned and asked, "You said it was Zhuang Wenge? Why? Why did he plead for me? Does he want me to go back to the Northeast?"

A series of questions popped out of his mouth. Zhang Qun quickly turned his head and looked at it. The guard was still far away. He quickly said: "Worry, I don't know the specific situation. This is what my husband told me. Otherwise, the Chairman would send me here? Even if you want to see you, Dai Li will come."

Zhang Xueliang nodded in silence, and Zhang Qun smiled and amplified his voice: "The most interesting thing in the history of Ming Dynasty was during the Jiajing period of Emperor Shenzong of Ming Dynasty. During this Jiajing practiced alchemy and practiced Taoism, he also forced the ministers to practice Taoism with him..."

Zhang Xueliang was in a happy mood and began to talk about his own gains: "A lot of people who explained that Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang made the greatest contributions, but in my opinion, Zhu Sheng's contributions were actually above them. He proposed to build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings. Zhu Yuanzhang actually implemented this strategy to finally take away the predicament."

"The more you read the Ming Dynasty, the more you feel," Zhang Xueliang also looked behind him. Seeing the guards far away, he asked again: "Brother Yue Jun, I still can't understand why Zhuang Wenge asked him to let me go?"

"If you go out in the future, ask him." Zhang Qun didn't know. Soong Mei-ling just mentioned this. He asked Soong Mei-ling without saying anything in detail, but just asked him to tell Zhang Xueliang that she was trying to make the matter happen.

Despite his doubts, Zhang Xueliang also understood that it was impossible to ask anything from Zhang Qun again. Zhang Qun could tell him that these things had taken great risks and had done his best to be friends.

After talking by the lake for a while, Liu Yiguang came down from the mountain road and invited two people to go back for a meal. When the two people entered the temple, they smelled a fragrance when they entered the temple.

"Mr. Zhang has a good taste, but now I am the fourth lady who cooks by himself." Liu Yiguang smiled. He has been following Zhang Xueliang for seven years, from Fenghua to Jiangxi, from Jiangxi to Hunan, and then to Guizhou. He sometimes joked that Zhang Xueliang was a prisoner number one and a prisoner number two, and was all imprisoned for life.

The living room has changed. A square table is placed in the middle, with napkins on the table and a bottle of flowers in the middle, which looks elegant and noble. Zhao Yidi changed his cotton robe just now to a lake blue embroidered silk cheongsam, and added a white shawl on the outside, making it look more elegant when standing in front of the hall.

Seeing Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Qun come back, Zhao Yidi invites two people to enter the table, takes away the flowers on the table, and lets them go to serve the dishes. There are no servants here, and the people who serve the dishes and serve the meals are guards called service enrollers, and these enrolls are under the command of Liu Yiguang.

Liu Yiguang was also on the table, and there were not many dishes. One plate of fish and two chickens were eaten, some stewed mushrooms, some stewed soup, some bacon and sausage bought by farmers in nearby villages, and several plates of fried fresh. There was also a bottle of red wine. Zhang Xueliang explained that this was brought by Yan Baohang last year.

It can be seen that the main owner has already been very troubled, and it is not easy to prepare such things in such a place. Zhang Qun is very grateful and praises him while eating.

Chatting at the dinner table, the topic gradually became war again. Liu Yiguang seemed to be very interested in this topic. He repeatedly asked whether the next step was to attack Jiangnan and restore Nanjing and Shanghai.

Zhang Qun had to put down his chopsticks and introduced the current situation to them: "From the national perspective, victory is undoubtedly the one that we have regained all our territory except Jiangnan. The front line has advanced beyond the national border. On the Pacific battlefield, the US military has also reported good news. The next step is that the United States may land in the Philippines or Taiwan. On the European battlefield, the Soviet Union and Russia have also regained their entire territory, fought abroad, entered the Polish region, and the British and American allies revived Paris and were attacking Belgium and the Netherlands.

Hanqing, the war progressed unexpectedly quickly. When the Battle of Shanghai in August 13 began, we thought it would take at least ten years to defeat Japan, but now it only took seven years. If it weren't for the Sea of ​​Japan, we might have fought to Tokyo."

Zhang Qun was also excited by his emotions. He grabbed the bottle and poured himself a glass of wine, and added it to Zhao Yidi, Zhang Xueliang and Liu Yiguang. Sanzui was also very excited.

"I read the newspaper and said that now every time we dispatch hundreds of planes to bomb Japan, Tokyo is almost flattened by us." Liu Yiguang asked.

"I don't know if it's flat, but it's a bad thing to see in the photos." Zhang Qun said with a generous smile: "Hanqing has been to Tokyo and knows that the Tokyo Railway Station no longer exists. Ginza has been burned. Japan wails in the newspaper, and it will make me feel relaxed if you think about it!"

"Just because of this!" Zhang Xueliang raised his wine glass and touched it. Zhang Xueliang wiped the wine beside his mouth and then continued: "The chairman is good, otherwise we would not have won so quickly. Come, a thousand cups for the chairman."

Zhao Yidi looked at Zhang Xueliang in a daze, but still raised the wine glass. Liu Yiguang also looked at Zhang Xueliang with confusion and picked up the wine glass. Zhang Qunda looked at Zhang Xueliang with deep appreciation and also picked up the wine glass.

"Ding" four wine glasses collided crisply.

Zhang Xueliang was in a relaxed mood and smiled: "I recently read the Chairman's book on the Destiny of China. I have written down some ideas. Brother Yue Jun, please transfer it to the Chairman."

Zhang Qun nodded with a smile. He knew that Zhang Xueliang was smart enough. In fact, these ideas might have been checked by Liu Yiguang and the others long ago. If they were not attracted to their attention, they would have been confiscated long ago.

"China's fate actually planned China's development path after the war. Unifying military and political orders is to eliminate local warlords and truly complete the unity of the country. On this point, I, Zhang Xueliang, supported me. After seven years of war, the country and nation paid a huge price, and the people hoped that the country would no longer be divided."

"But, General," Liu Yiguang asked curiously: "What if GCD doesn't want it? They also have a regime and an army."

"The problem of GCD is indeed a very difficult problem, but I think that since the Chairman can lead such a arduous war of resistance, he can also lead national integration."

What Liu Yiguang asked was actually the domestic war and questions after the war, but Zhang Xueliang's answer was very clever, which not only praised Chiang Kai-shek but did not clearly express his attitude, so he would not be used.

These few words are enough for Zhang Qun to go back and hand over a report that is beneficial to Zhang Xueliang. He cannot let Liu Yiguang destroy this achievement and immediately distracted the topic: "It is right, we believe that the Chairman will definitely achieve the great cause of unifying China and realizing the national rejuvenation. Hanqing, you surprised me. I didn't expect you to read the Chairman's book."

"I am in prison and my heart is in the country. Brother Yue Jun, I have caused a great disaster in Xi'an, with the purpose of fighting the war. Now that the victory of the war is in sight, what else can I ask for? I have nothing to ask for in this heart, I only wish that the country will prosper and the nation will prosper." Zhang Xueliang drank a thousand wine in one sip.

Zhang Qun drank it with him, and nodded and said, "Yes, you are really too reckless in Xi'an. It seems that you have reflected on yourself over the years. The Chairman will be very happy when he knows it."

Zhao Yidi frowned slightly. Just as she was about to refute, she was stepped on by Zhang Xueliang. She turned her head to look at Zhang Xueliang. From Zhang Xueliang's eyes, Zhao Yidi felt something was wrong, so she changed her words and repeatedly persuaded the food.

After lunch, both guests and hosts finished their fun. After dinner, Zhao Yidi had the habit of taking a nap and went back to the room to rest. Zhang Xueliang accompanied Zhang Qun to have coffee and chat in the yard, while Liu Yiguang was with him.

Sanjin casually talked about the international and domestic situation. Zhang Qun told them about the situation in Yaojin, Peking and the surrender of Okamura. Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but lit up when he heard that Ma Zhanshan was the commander of the surrender ceremony.

"At that time, I told the Northeast Army that I would take them to fight my hometown, but now they have finally fought back to my hometown. Although I, Zhang Hanqing, broke my promise, the country did not. We finally fought back to our hometown." Zhang Xueliang felt a little moved and a little sad.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Qun saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Xueliang. At this time, Zhang Xueliang looked a little sad. He held his hand and refused to let go for a long time. Zhang Qun understood Zhang Xueliang's feelings. He didn't know when he would be able to come in outside when he left. He patted Zhang Xueliang's hand and turned around and you went.

Sitting on the slide rod and walking a long way, looking back, you could still vaguely see Zhang Xueliang standing in front of the temple gate.
