"Even in our conference room, there were former reactionary warlords, but the CCP did not allow him to participate in the revolution just because he was a warlord himself. After he participated in the revolution, he did not discriminate against him to suppress him, and even let him Became a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. And... this comrade's warlord job was won by himself, and Puyi's emperor was only imposed by others. As far as I know, Puyi was only two or three years old at the time! It is impossible to perform the work of the emperor, and naturally it is impossible to do any reactionary things. Therefore, Puyi's status as an emperor is actually from the emperor's family, which is birth rather than status. In our conference room, people from non-proletarian families only I'm afraid they account for an absolute majority?"
Mao Zedong's face was as dark as water dripping out, and he snorted disdainfully: "How can this Puyi be compared with us? How much contribution has he made to the revolution? And he is still messing with the Japanese. If we accept He, doesn't it mean..."
Miff waved his hand indifferently: "It's just a secret party member. The CCP already has many such comrades, right? I don't care if there is another Puyi. If...you really can't accept it, then let him directly join the Communist International and become a member of the Communist International." A secret member of the Communist International!"
Zhou Enlai gave a long sigh and shook his head: "Comrade Miff! Now people are accusing the Soviet Union and Japan of colluding with Japan to destroy China... At this time, if you recruit people like Puyi to join the Communist International, this...there is no one in the world who is not A wall that seeps through the wind! If it is exposed, will our party still be a human being! What exactly do you want?"
After Zhou Enlai finished, he sighed again, and looked up at Miff, his eyes full of suspicion.Miff suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Comrade Enlai, those accusations from the outside world are all the conspiracy of the Kuomintang reactionaries! At this time, the CCP, as a member of the Communist International, should stand with the Communist International and the Soviet Union without hesitation." , use your influence among workers and students to clarify the facts and explain the truth, instead of groundlessly accusing or guessing the international intentions!"
Miff paused and said: "This time, I will report the matter of absorbing Puyi as a secret member of the Communist International to Moscow. You don't need to worry about it. Now you just need to take care of sending troops to Rehe, Mongolia to expel Wang Zhongyi's Trotskyist group! That's right. Expelled How are you thinking about Wang Zhongyi's party membership?"
Zhou Enlai's chest heaved and his face was as cold as ice. He was not angry about whether to accept Puyi to join the Communist International, but the attitude of Miff and the Communist International.The Communist International’s control over the CCP was very loose after the Mongolia Incident, but after the recent Battle of Western Liaoning, the Comintern took advantage of the internal and external difficulties the CCP faced to significantly strengthen its control, which made him particularly disappointed: “Comrade Mifu, we sent troops to Mongolia It was not to expel the forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but because Tang Yulin, the warlord of Rehe, wanted to capture Mongolia... We sent troops only to defend Mongolia from being captured by the reactionary warlords. As for whether Wang Zhongyi is a Trotskyist, we still have to continue to investigate. Don’t draw conclusions lightly. After all, Comrade Wang Zhongyi is the leader of the Anti-Alliance, and the Anti-Alliance has an army of 30! If we fire him like this, I’m afraid that these forces will be completely thrown into the arms of the Kuomintang!”
Miff also knew that the decision to expel Wang Zhongyi was very risky. It can be said that he expelled 30 troops at once!If the Japanese army fails to defeat the Kuomintang reactionaries in the end, I am afraid that the Northeast will definitely fall into the hands of the Kuomintang.He took a deep breath and calmed down, just when he wanted to persuade him further.Suddenly, with a bang, the door of the conference room was knocked open!
It was Zhao Shiyan, Secretary-General of the Central Committee, who crashed into the door.Everyone looked up together and saw Zhao Shiyan standing there with his face flushed, holding a telegram in his hand, pointing at Mao Zedong, gasping for words.
Mao Zedong was slightly displeased, this is a meeting of the Politburo, how could he break in without knocking on the door?He shook his head and said, "Comrade Shiyan, what's the big deal? What made you so anxious?"
"President! Something happened to the president!"
Mao Zedong immediately laughed and said, "Comrade Shiyan, tell me what happened to me?"
Zhao Shiyan just shook his head, and took a long time to catch his breath.This news was so sensational, he ran all the way over when he saw it in the communication department!
"President, the president is about to expire! There are still a few months to go! Someone has already announced that he will run for election!"
What!Will the president still expire?Isn't this lifelong?Mao Zedong was taken aback for a moment, but Zhou Enlai, who was beside him, just smiled: "So it's this matter, it's not a big deal, just let the Political Consultative Conference get elected."
Zhao Shiyan shook his head and took another breath: "I just received a power call. The old man in Shanghai... er, it is Chen Duxiu who has announced his participation in the next presidential election! And he has also received the support of Wang Zhongyi, Wang Zixing and Guo Songling! Planning to go north to Tianjin! What are we going to do with him!"
Chapter 0548 Chiang Kai-shek's treachery is about to succeed!
Chen Duxiu!As soon as the name was uttered, everyone in the room was shocked, and the meeting room fell into silence for a while.Who is Chen Duxiu here? Who doesn't know?Regardless of his ability, there is a huge gap between the Communist Party and the Trotskyists at the moment. In the southern Kuomintang-controlled area, the two parties are fighting each other in the newspapers every day, and from time to time there will be a full-scale martial arts or something... In the area under the jurisdiction of the CCP in the north, if the Trotskyites are caught, it is basically a death!
"Comrades! This is a god-sent opportunity!" Wang Ming was the first to realize when he rolled his eyes, he slapped the table and stood up: "Chen Duxiu is the leader of the Chinese Trotskyists, if he dares to come to our territory, that is his own Head trap! We can take this opportunity to arrest him and bring him to justice, and then shoot him in public trial!"
shoot!Mao Zedong looked at Wang Ming and said in his heart: "You really dare to say it!" Chen Duxiu went north to run for president with great fanfare. If the CCP were to shoot him down, what would the democrats and national capitalists in the south think of the CCP?Do you still believe in the dictatorship of the Kuomintang and the democracy of the Communist Party?But the crime of the Trotskyists is indeed a little bigger... If I object, I am afraid that Wang Ming will be slandered as a Trotskyist party, right?So he made up his mind not to speak, and obviously everyone else in this conference room thought the same.
All the people had a premonition that a storm was coming, and looked nervously at Zhou Enlai and Miff, looking for a way to resolve it.
"Comrade Enlai, I agree with Comrade Wang Ming's suggestion!" Miff expressed his position without hesitation. The Trotskyist issue was Stalin's pain. It is unbearable!Miff didn't want to ruin his life because of this.
"This must be a conspiracy by the Kuomintang reactionaries!" Zhou Enlai's face was full of clouds, and he looked directly at Mif: "The Trotskyites certainly deserve death, but the people in the south and democrats of all factions have not yet recognized them. Moreover, this time Chen Duxiu also went north in the name of running for the presidency... If we arrest and bring him to justice, the Trotskyists in the south and the Kuomintang reactionaries will definitely not let it go. It will be deceived by them, and at the same time, it will also have an impact on some centrists. I am afraid that our party’s united front work will also be greatly damaged, and even... the Kuomintang will use this as an excuse to provoke a civil war!"
Zhou Enlai paused and said: "Of course, we can't let Chen Duxiu go north to participate in the presidential election. That will make us passive... If we let the Trotskyites run for the election, they will naturally be able to move around and sell their counter-revolutionary theories. This will Seriously disturbing the thinking of our party comrades and the northern people. So... the best way is to let the Political Consultative Conference pass a bill on the presidential election, prohibiting Trotskyists and all reactionaries from participating in the election, so that Chen Duxiu will not go north. "
After Zhou Enlai finished, he looked at Miff calmly, his eyes full of expectation.Miff frowned, and said coldly: "Comrade Enlai, I think you should be able to realize the harmfulness of the Trotskyists to the cause of communism, right? You must not be soft on these people, and you must fight them resolutely to the end!"
Mao Zedong was a little embarrassed seeing Zhou Enlai, but the others did not dare to come forward to persuade him, so he had to bite the bullet and come forward.After a moment of contemplation, he said: "Comrade Enlai, Comrade Miff, we can't follow in the footsteps of the Kuomintang reactionaries. They are behind the scenes instigating the Trout faction to run for president with us. Are we going to hold a presidential election? If so, don't we want to We have been fooled by the Kuomintang reactionaries! What we want is not bourgeois hypocritical freedom and democracy. The goal we are fighting for is the dictatorship of the proletariat! Although the dictatorship of the proletariat is the dictatorship of the majority, it is still a dictatorship after all! Including the Kuomintang reactionaries, monopoly bourgeoisie, Trotskyists, landlords, rich peasants, upper middle peasants, petty bourgeoisie, and even the national bourgeoisie are all targets of dictatorship! So what we should consider now is not to let Chen Duxiu be elected president , but whether to engage in this kind of bourgeois presidential election? My suggestion is not to engage in it anymore.”
"No presidential election..." Zhou Enlai was taken aback when he heard the words, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that Mao Zedong's words made sense.The ideal pursued by the CCP is not a hypocritical bourgeois parliamentary democracy. This so-called democracy is actually a "dictatorship of the bourgeoisie", which is exactly the opposite of the path that the Communists are striving to pursue to liberate all mankind.Now the CCP is holding high the banner of democratic constitutionalism just to unite the national bourgeoisie and democrats to fight against the Kuomintang reactionaries.But this time, because of Chen Duxiu's going north for the campaign, this banner is really not suitable for flying anymore.
"The president is right! This matter is completely a conspiracy of the Kuomintang reactionaries. We cannot follow their footsteps. They are dictatorial in the south, but they have ordered Trotskyists to come to the north to challenge us to run for president. If we run against the Trotskyists It will disturb the thinking of the people, and if the Trotskyists are severely sanctioned, they will be accused of dictatorship, so the best way is to establish a Soviet regime! Realize the dictatorship of the proletariat." Liu Shaoqi immediately stood up and spoke loudly.
"Comrade Shaoqi's suggestion is very good! We should establish a Soviet regime." Mao Zedong nodded appreciatively at Liu Shaoqi: "The Kuomintang reactionaries want to play the democracy card with us, hehe, it's really ridiculous!"
Zhou Enlai thought about it again, and then looked up at Mao Zedong: "Runzhi, there are still two problems. One is that after we establish the Soviet central government, the army will naturally change back to the Red Army. What about the Northeast Army? They are now But there are still 15 people, a force that cannot be ignored! Second, do democrats, democratic parties and the United Front still need it? We have implemented the dictatorship of the proletariat. Are these non-proletarian progressives the targets of the United Front or the dictatorship? "
"We want to reform the Northeast Army! The democrats and the united front must also be retained!" Mao Zedong stood up, clenched his thick palms into fists, and waved it vigorously a few times: "The Northeast Army is mixed, its combat effectiveness is low, and it is full of Japanese troops. Secret agents and Kuomintang spies, if they are not reformed, it is difficult to undertake the arduous mission of resisting Japan and saving the country! Our party will reform the Northeast Army just like reforming the National Army, making it an important part of the future Red Army. Of course, in order to achieve this goal, we must Some senior generals of the Northeast Army should be properly given some status and care. Even for some leaders of the Northeast Army who are actively demanding progress, we can recruit them to join the CCP and give them a relatively high status. If they can actively cooperate We reorganized the Northeast Army, and there is nothing wrong with electing them as members and alternate members of the Politburo!"
When Mao Zedong said this, he picked up a cigarette, took a deep puff, and then continued: "As for the democratic parties and democrats, my opinion should be united. I am afraid that the wishful thinking of the Kuomintang reactionaries is that we want us to take the initiative to throw Abandon the united front, and then push the democratic parties and democrats to their side? Of course we can’t let them do what they want! But our party should also strengthen management of democrats... During this time, our party is busy with the war of resistance. The management of the democrats seems to be too lax." As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Enlai, who frowned and bowed his head silently: "Comrade Enlai, for the democrats of the democratic parties and the United Front, they should adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party. Under the leadership of the Party, they can play their due role and wage a resolute and effective struggle against the Kuomintang reactionaries! Moreover... this time in the process of establishing the Soviet Central Power, we must give full play to the role of democrats from the democratic parties and the Political Consultative Conference. Even after the Supreme Soviet is elected in the future, the Political Consultative Conference will still be retained as the main place for the democratic parties to participate in and discuss state affairs."
"Does President Mao mean to let the Political Consultative Conference pass a resolution to change the Republic of China into the Chinese Soviet Republic?" Wang Ming's face flashed a little puzzled: "Can these CPPCC members agree? Come out and have a soul-touching conversation with them?"
Zhou Enlai smiled bitterly, and took up the topic: "I will do the work of the members of the CPPCC myself, so I won't bother the comrades in the Ministry of Social Affairs. In such a difficult situation right now, we must unite with the democratic parties even more."
Zhang Wentian shook his head slightly: "Comrade Enlai, we can't always unite with the democrats. When it's time to fight, we still have to fight. Where there is struggle, there is unity. Only by uniting most of the democrats in the struggle can our party's united front work be done well." It’s more perfect. What do you think, Lao Mao?”
Mao Zedong nodded. Since the 9.18 Incident and the outbreak of the Northeast War of Resistance, the democrats in Beijing have become more active... Not only have they frequently made some irresponsible remarks in public, but more seriously, some democrats have also made speeches Attacking the CCP is not good for the war of resistance in the Northeast battlefield!It's not as good as the KMT!If the leadership is not strengthened in time, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to clean up in the future.
"What about Wang Zhongyi? Now he is not only colluding with the Kuomintang reactionaries, but also colluding with the Trotskyists! How can such a person stay in the party? He should be fired immediately, removed from all positions inside and outside the party, and ordered to be wanted! Seeing that the committee members at the meeting seemed to have "forgotten" Wang Zhongyi, Miff hurriedly stood up and reminded him loudly.
"Yes, they should be fired immediately, dismissed from all posts, and arrested! And I believe that most of the comrades in the Anti-Japanese League can recognize Wang Zhongyi's true face and come back to the embrace of the party!" Wang Ming waved his arms, It seems that tens of 10 people have been brought under the red flag.
"Comrade Xiang Ying, what kind of forces is the current Anti-Alliance?" Zhou Enlai turned his head and asked Xiang Ying next to him.
Xiang Ying is the chairman of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, and Wang Zhongyi's army is theoretically under his leadership. After thinking about it, he said: "The Anti-Japanese Alliance is now mainly composed of three forces. One is the expansion of the army Wang Zhongyi brought from Mongolia. The First Army of the Anti-Union Army, this army looks the same as our party's army on the surface, but the party committees at all levels are under the control of Wang Zhongyi's elements; the second is adapted from the former Ninth Route Army and No.15 Route Army of the Northeast Army The Second Army of the Anti-Union came from here; the third was the Third Army of the Anti-Union formed by the Kuomintang officers and non-commissioned officers as the backbone. Among these three forces, only the First Army of the Anti-Union fights our banner, and the other troops have nothing to do with us. Among them, part of the Second Army is the former Wu Peifu's army, which has deep conflicts with us, and the other part is greatly influenced by the Youth Party. The Third Army is completely the Kuomintang army."
After listening to Xiang Ying's introduction, Wang Ming was suddenly speechless.Mao Zedong on the side smiled coldly: "According to intelligence, the Japanese are about to increase their troops to the Northeast. After the increase, the total strength may reach 100 million! At that time, both the Kuomintang and the Anti-Japanese Alliance will face an unprecedented crisis. Until then, we will The party will find a way to win over the comrades within the Anti-Japanese League who are inclined to the Party Central Committee and eradicate Wang Zhongyi, a traitor! But now is not the time."
"I also agree with Comrade Mao Zedong's suggestion. Now is not the time to tear yourself apart with Wang Zhongyi." Zhou Enlai smiled lightly, and also expressed his support for Mao Zedong: "Wait a few months, after the Japanese invaders captured Harbin, he was in the Anti-Japanese League. Prestige will be discounted...it will be much easier for us to get rid of him!"
……
When Deng Yanda heard from Zhou Enlai that the CCP was going to establish a Soviet central government to replace the existing Beijing central government, he knew that things were going to be really difficult.This time, I am afraid that the CCP has really fallen for the tricks of the Kuomintang reactionaries!
"Judging from the general trend of historical development, communism is bound to come, and capitalism is bound to perish! Now the establishment of the Soviet government is just one step closer to communism. You should be able to understand, right?" Zhou Enlai solemnly said. explain.
Deng Yanda sighed for a long time: "Enlai, you should know my feelings. Mrs. Sun and I have long been believers in communism. But now is really not the best time to establish a Soviet government! Now the people of the whole country are looking forward to the cooperation between the North and the South. Peaceful reunification and united resistance against Japan. You have established the Chinese Soviet Republic at this time... how disappointed the people of the whole country will be! Enlai, have you thought about it?"
Zhou Enlai raised his eyebrows and wanted to refute, but Deng Yanda didn't give him a chance: "I just don't understand, why can't you let Chen Duxiu run against Mao Zedong for the presidency? Let's not have direct elections, just choose in the Political Consultative Conference, I promise Mao Zedong can be elected with a high number of votes." Deng Yanda paused, then sighed: "The Trotskyists have no army, no territory, and no banknotes. Why are you so afraid of them? If it spreads to the south, who will believe it? you……"
Zhou Enlai smiled wryly: "Zhosheng, I agree with everything you said. This presidential election was originally an opportunity for our party to launch a political offensive against the Kuomintang reactionaries, but the Kuomintang persuaded Chen Duxiu to run for the election. You also know that we and the Trotskyites are The two sides are irreconcilable... There are many comrades in the party who still advocate severe punishment of Chen Duxiu and the Trotskyist leaders who went north... There is nothing to do now. To restore this passive situation, the only way is to ask the friends of the democratic parties and democrats to help our party .”
Deng Yanda frowned deeply, and the Kuomintang's move was beyond his expectation.The Kuomintang took advantage of the expiration of the presidential term of the central government in Beijing to mobilize Chen Duxiu, whom the CCP would never accept, to run for election in the north. In fact, it was forcing the CCP to give up the banner of democratic constitutionalism and made the CCP politically passive.But how can I help the CCP out of the siege?
"Brother Enlai, just ask me what you want me to do." Deng Yanda sighed, looked at Zhou Enlai, Zhou Enlai nodded: "Brother Zesheng, my idea is that the Political Consultative Conference pass a resolution to change the name of the country. Change the national flag, pass the Soviet constitution, and completely transform our Chinese political system into a socialist system. This will be a great victory for the [-] million people! It will also be a great victory for the democratic parties and our communists!"
Hearing what Zhou Enlai said, Deng Yanda also thought it was wrong after thinking about it, but he had no other way: "Enlai, this matter is likely to cause an uproar among the leftists and democrats of the Kuomintang. You CCP must be mentally prepared. They Some of them participated in the Revolution of [-], thinking that the Republic of China was established by them alone...but I will definitely try my best to lobby them.” He looked at Zhou Enlai again: “By the way, the new Chinese Soviet Republic and the Republic of China What's the relationship? Is it a country on one side?"
"Of course not!" Zhou Enlai quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Our Beijing government is the only legal government in China, and the Political Consultative Conference is also the only legal legislature in China. The CPPCC passed a resolution to establish the Chinese Soviet Republic, and the original Republic of China naturally also It will lose the power to represent China, and it will become history just like the Qing and Ming dynasties!"
Deng Yanda was taken aback when he heard the words. Could it be that the Republic of China is about to perish?As long as the Political Consultative Conference makes a resolution, will it be gone?Thinking about it, this thing feels unreliable.He shook his head and said, "Then after the establishment of the Chinese Soviet Republic, will it provoke a civil war with Wuhan? Can this joint resistance against Japan be maintained?"
"Brother Zesheng, don't worry about this. We communists established this Soviet country just to better resist Japan! We will never provoke internal strife while the foreign aggression has not been eliminated. As for the Kuomintang... now they will immediately We are about to wage a decisive battle with Japanese imperialism in Manchuria, and I believe that we dare not brazenly provoke a civil war against the people." Zhou Enlai explained.
Deng Yanda looked at Zhou Enlai with regret, and sighed deeply: "This is the only way to go now. I will go to persuade Li Renchao and Mrs. Sun. As long as they agree, the matter will be half successful."
Chapter 0549 The ideal of democrats
Beijing, No. [-] Iron Lion Alley, the headquarters of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee.
In Deng Yanda's study, the two looked at each other silently with livid faces.After Deng Yanda received the invitation from Zhou Enlai, he did not immediately convene a meeting of the KMT leftist leaders in Beijing. Instead, he invited Li Jishen, another KMT leftist leader in Beijing, to discuss how to destroy the Republic of China, which was established by the founding father and prime minister. ...
Deng Yanda is well aware of the difficulty of this matter. Although the social department of the CCP is currently working very efficiently, it has dug out many counter-revolutionaries, Trotskyites, Kuomintang agents, Youth Party agents, Japanese agents, Northern Party members, AB regiments, and liquidators. wait.But it didn't touch the democrats in Beijing, so these people took themselves seriously.But Deng Yanda knew in his heart that Zhou Enlai was there to protect him, otherwise Comrade Wang Ming's anti-revolutionary sword would have been cut down long ago!
And Deng Yanda also knows that after the land revolution and continuous self-cleaning, the CCP has actually won the unanimous support of the people in its jurisdiction!These so-called members of the CPPCC actually do not have the support of the people at all. They are just special care given by the CCP to democrats. If they cannot conform to the historical trend and keep consistent with the CCP, they will inevitably be eliminated by history in the end.
