Chapter 236: The Founding of the Party

The biggest benefit of the Xinmin land reform for Zhang Hanqing was that he trained a large number of political cadres who had taken root at the grassroots level from the beginning, and after a long period of training, these people basically became the seeds of propaganda of Zhang Hanqing's rural policies, and gradually spread to the entire northeast.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Hanqing believed that the party building plan he had been thinking about for a long time could be implemented: after suppressing bandits and land reform, he had already gained a relatively good foundation and influence in the military and political fields of Fengtian, and his military and political actions had also cultivated a large number of capable talents, who were both loyal and capable. It's just that now these people are all headed by themselves, and once they are transferred or have other affairs, they have to bet on the successor and their own heart or thinking, but there are too few such people.

Only an organized group will exert far more power than itself, and this healthy organization will also take the initiative to self-correct or make appropriate decisions, as long as its influence is there, and it does not need to be present in person.

This is the party.

The name has been thought of a long time ago, called the Chinese People's Party. It was born from the people, and it was also for the sake of the people, concise and clear. In the future, the political work of the world will be led by the party, both at home and abroad.

The party's organizational principle has long been a ready-made experience to follow: the system of centralism, which has been proven in practice and is an effective management system. Just kidding, the Chinese Communist Party has been playing for almost a hundred years, and it is becoming more and more mature, how can it be bad?

At this time, the purpose of building this party was, first, to manage and reorganize the underground organizations and party members of the Kuomintang operating in Northeast China, and second---- to preemptively propose to gather progressive intellectuals with communist tendencies---- the energy of these cultural people is infinite, and they are also the most far-sighted and influential talents, and the Communist Party is about to be established in history although Zhang Hanqing has witnessed countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials in later generations, but at the beginning of the founding of the party, the Communist Party was still very attractive and had pure ideals. In the future, if there is a dispute between the People's Party and the Communist Party, how can he go on a killing spree like the later Kuomintang? Only strangled in the cradle first. In addition, party politics is the trend of international development, allowing the forces in the Northeast to intervene in the government of the Republic of China in a grand manner and lay the foundation for their future entry into the Guannei.

In the "Constitution of the Chinese Kuomintang Party", Zhang Hanqing proposed the establishment of a reformed Chinese Kuomintang ---- People's Party, with Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Three Dishes of Cooking Righteousness as the banner, through the gradual means of military administration, training and constitutionalism, with the workers' stage as the main body and the workers' and peasants' alliance as the basis, to accomplish the great goal of the Three Dishes Cooking Righteousness. Party branches are set up in administrative villages, and party committees at the same level are set up in townships, counties, provinces, and provinces, which are under the leadership of the Central Committee of the Chinese People's Party.

Zhang Hanqing personally designed the party flag, which was a bright red five-star red flag. As for why the five stars were chosen, Zhang Hanqing believes that there is a fable in the brocade of the Han Dynasty that "the five stars go out of the East to benefit China", which seems to be showing China's strength, which is a good luck. As for its meaning, he explained that it can be understood as the unification of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce to build a great country under the leadership of the People's Party, or it can be interpreted as the Quartet Gongwei Central Committee; It is also explained that the Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan and Han ethnic groups are a republic of five ethnic groups.

Although the design of the sickle hammer head is avant-garde, firstly, Zhang Hanqing is not cold, and secondly, communism is still in its embryonic state in China. The most important thing is that the intervening army is now fighting the Red Army on various battlefields in Soviet Russia, and you are afraid that the Japanese will not find a reason to interfere in the Northeast, right?

The party's slogan is "Workers and peasants cooperate to strengthen China." ”

The party's program is "to establish a united, strong, free, and well-boiled republic in which the people are the masters of the country, and to expel all imperialist forces and privileges in China." Equal land rights, tariff autonomy, punishment of corruption, and judicial fairness. ”

This was a brand-new idea that integrated the slogans of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at that historical stage, and it also created the first honeymoon and dish boiling movement of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in history, which attracted countless patriots, yearning for the February Revolution, dissatisfied with the factional forces of Beiyang and the Kuomintang, and loyal idealists to rush to the Northeast to participate in this historic initiative.

As the saying goes, the way of civil and military affairs is one piece and one relaxation; Win the world immediately, and you can't rule it immediately. Although Zhang Zuolin is illiterate, he knows the importance of being a reader. With regard to the People's Party, which is mainly composed mainly of young intellectuals, the attitude of tacit view and observation is to treat it as a matter of absence. He did not have any reluctant thoughts about the young marshal's political "toss", after all, Xiucai failed to rebel for three years. Without the help of the army, no one can rebel against the sky in the northeast. treats his eldest son, who is most looking forward to him, and he is happier than anyone else to see Zhang Hanqing emerge in politics.

How can someone stand on the platform for such a big thing as the founding of the party? Not to mention that the People's Party, as a new thing, wants to occupy the ideological position and expand its influence, this propaganda is indispensable. For Zhang Zuolin and other influential figures in Fengtian, this kind of relationship is not Zhang Hanqing's style.

Zhang Zuolin, honorary chairman of the People's Party, and Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang, one of the founders, were all predetermined. No matter how much they know about the party, it is fully necessary to pull their tiger skin at this stage. But the crown of "important founder" was worn on Cai Yi's head, although he is now far away in Japan, and he has no time to care about this matter.

This is what Zhang Hanqing proposed and insisted on. Talking to Cai Ye about the People's Party, he may have thought it was an obsession at the time, but he recognized and cared about Zhang Hanqing's idea sincerely, and he also personally said that he wanted to become a member of the People's Party. With his fame and influence in China, his endorsement has essentially cast a glittering veneer of sanctity over the legitimacy of the People's Party, a tiger skin that of course has to be pulled.

Zhang Hanqing contacted Cai Jie, who was being treated at Fukuoka Medical University Hospital, through the personnel of the Legation of the Republic of China in Japan, informed him of the news of the imminent establishment of the People's Party, and indicated that he would confirm Cai Jie's status as one of the initiators of the founding of the People's Party. For this reason, Cai Ye, who was seriously ill, replied in person despite the doctor's persuasion:

"I am glad to hear that the Chinese People's Party has been founded, and I am very happy. In Beijing, my nephew has the words of fighting for the personality of 40,000 people, and the words of conspiring to build the party and save the country. My nephew's ambition made me feel guilty, and my act of protecting the country was also inspired by this.

It's only a year, and I don't want Han Qing's nephew to do such a great thing, which is very exciting. The People's Party takes it as its mission to restore the Chinese Han and Tang Dynasty weather and save the people from fire and water. Han Qing is young and ambitious, and he will be able to protect the banner of the country and support the general of the building. As for the praise of the 'founder of the founding of the party', he is not talented, and he does not dare to steal his reputation, but he is willing to talk about his dedication to national affairs for ordinary party members.

It is a pity that I can't come to see this grand ceremony in person! ”

Cai's letter was widely disseminated on the eve of the founding of the People's Party. Of course, this must have been done intentionally, and Cai Ye once again used his reputation to pass on Zhang Hanqing. From his letter, people confirmed that Zhang Hanqing had done things that went down in history as well as General Cai, and that his theory on the building of the People's Party was also strongly supported by General Cai. Invisibly, the legitimacy and influence of the People's Party are rapidly expanding and being recognized, adding a lot of bargaining chips to the arrival of this day.

In order to prevent a backlash from within the Feng faction, Zhang Hanqing made it clear when preparing for the establishment of the People's Party that the People's Party would be based on mobilizing the people to open up the people's wisdom, establish a society with a legal system, and be a mouthpiece capable of supervising the government, and would not involve government affairs. Even within the army, the scope of the BJP's activities will be strictly limited to the Guards brigades. Such a statement at least relieved many people and reduced their worries about the establishment of such a party. And in exchange for invisibility, Zhang Hanqing can unscrupulously strengthen his control over the Guards Brigade.

The reason why I say this is because the strength that Zhang Hanqing can rely on is there at present. Therefore, the Guard Brigade and the Xinmin County Land Reform Committee were also the main forces in the development of Party members in the early days of the People's Party. Most of the future power and organizational structures of the BJP started from here. Now it is the easiest thing to join the party, just a matter of paper. When Zhang Hanqing announced the founding of the party, a total of 331 people became official party members, and another 58 were probationary party members.

There were quite a few officers and men in the Guards Brigade who performed actively, and all outstanding personnel who trained hard, had the courage to do their work, and were loyal to the group were selected to join the party. In the future, in the army, these three points are the main assessment points for joining the party, after all, the army is different from others, and the ability to obey orders is the most important.

Politically, the Agrarian Reform Committee is the majority. Many advanced individuals and groups that have emerged in the course of the land reform of the People's Republic of China are powerful candidates for membership in the People's Party. In the future, in China, the focus of the party's work will be on the rural areas, and a large number of party members who are familiar with the rural areas, agriculture, peasants, and other issues will be the foundation of the people's party's governance. Now, it's about sowing seeds for the future in advance.

At the preparatory meeting for the founding of the People's Party, which was formed by them, 10 people were elected as members of the Provisional Central Committee, and at the meeting of the Provisional Central Committee before the founding of the Party held by these 10 people, Zhang Hanqing was naturally elected chairman of the People's Party.

After full deliberation, Zhang Hanqing officially announced the establishment of the Chinese People's Party on October 1, the fifth year of the Republic of China. On this day, the wind was beautiful and the sky was clear. The backbone of the military and political leaders and the Guards Brigade from Mukden gathered together to witness this great moment.

Zhang Hanqing delivered a brief speech, and at the beginning, he immediately announced: "The Chinese People's Party was established today!" ”

Subsequently, amid the warm applause of thousands of people, he enthusiastically reviewed the plan (ideological purity) of the two giants in Beijing with Cai Ye for the establishment of the People's Party, as well as the purpose, party constitution, policies, and guidelines of the People's Party, and encouraged everyone to forge ahead. In his sonorous tone, his powerful words convinced people that the party's future is bright and the road is tortuous, but victory must belong to everyone. Finally, Zhang Hanqing sang out from the bottom of his heart: "Long live the great Chinese People's Party!" Long live the great Republic of China! Long live the great Chinese! ”

His voice, like a trumpet, reverberated in the auditorium of the Guards Brigade, fell in the streets and alleys of Mukden, and spread to the corners of the land of China. The seedling of the People's Party can't help but look at the wind and rain, but as long as it is carefully cared for, one day it will grow into a towering tree.
