The predecessor of the Kuomintang was the Xingzhong Society and the League Association.
They were originally composed of a number of anti-Qing groups, and their goal was simple: to remove the life of the Qing Dynasty, completely end the feudal imperial system, restore China, and establish the Republic of China.
However, since the Wuchang Uprising overthrew the Qing court, the Kuomintang seemed to gasp out of its breath.
First, Song Jiaoren was assassinated. Later, Huang Xing quarreled openly and fiercely with Sun Yat-sen many times on major issues such as the crusade against Yuan Shikai and the principles of party building. Then Zhang Taiyan made his own assertion and favored the warlord secession, which ran counter to Sun Yat-sen's purpose of national unification, turned around and left, and founded a separate Republican Party with Li Yuanhong.
When Chen Jiongming rebelled, Li Shizeng, Wu Zhihui and other 49 people even sent a joint telegram asking Sun Yat-sen to go into the wilderness.
Chen Jiongming, as a general, dared to propose the exact opposite of the leader's path. The prime minister advocated a strong central government, the Northern Expedition to end the situation of secession, and unify China; Comrade Xiao Chen, on the other hand, should take Guangdong as a model and make the province autonomous.
This old way of supporting soldiers and self-respecting is so familiar. If a general with a heavy army in his hands puts forward a set of social plans to be implemented, won't the whole society become a mess?
But the Kuomintang seems to have always liked to eat hot pot.
The "core trio" of the Kuomintang at that time was Sun Yat-sen, Song Jiaoren, and Huang Xing. Zhang Taiyan also had a great impact. With the death of Song, the dispute between Huang, the departure of Zhang, the loneliness of Sun Yat-sen, and the fact that the revolution had not yet succeeded, the comrades went back to their respective homes.
It's really weird. Everyone is loyal and brave, throwing their heads for the country and the nation, spilling their blood, and rushing away for the common people. If you are not afraid of death, what else can't you let go of and talk about?
What are the deeper reasons behind the disunity?
Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who came back from Honolulu, learned a lot of Western knowledge and entered Christianity. He called for the expulsion of the Tatars and the restoration of China, and set the goal; However, there is almost a blank answer to the specific methods needed to run a modern political party, and when it comes to human issues, it is like writing poetry by feeling.
Whether it was the early Xingzhong Society, the League Association, or the reorganized Kuomintang, there was no program, no organization, no constitution, no elections, no regular meetings - even the number of party members was a confused account, it is said that there were 30,000, but only 3,000 were registered, but 6,000 were paid.
So how many party members are there? The answer is no.
Joining the party was very unrigorous, and he only swore allegiance to Sun Yat-sen personally according to the red handprint. Sun Yat-sen looked up at the revolutionary plan and thought about the outline of the founding of the country, but he did not know how many party members there were and who these party members were.
In 1923, Borodin, the representative of Soviet Russia in China, unceremoniously said to Sun Yat-sen that the Kuomintang you lead, as an organized force, actually does not exist. Sun Yat-sen was shocked when he heard this, no one had ever said such things to him before.
Without organization, there can be no effective management, and under freedom and autonomy, no matter how consistent the ideals are, they are bound to go their own way.
You are driving a herd of wild horses, but you have no reins in your hands, and the grassland is stormy, can they obediently run in the direction you wave?
This is really surprising, how is it possible that a modern revolutionary leader, who is not Li Zicheng or Hong Xiuquan, does not have the consciousness of establishing a strict revolutionary organization?
This cannot be demanded of Sun Yat-sen. At that time, in the mountains, it was impossible for others to pick up the branches and leaves, discover the source of the problem hidden in the depths, and they had no time to touch the problem
Many people think that the society of the Republic of China is close to modernity.
In fact, even in the 1940s, this was not the case.
During the Anti-Japanese War, out of the strategic calculation of using China's vast mountains and rivers to drag down the Japanese Army, Uncle Sam assisted the Kuomintang with a large number of strategic materials and dollars, but they complained that the money was spent, but things were not done well.
It is no wonder that how can parliamentarians on the wheels of capitalism understand life in the mountains of the Republic of China?
It was the rainy season, and Huang Renyu, who was still a company commander at the time, as the Burma Expeditionary Force passed through Yunnan, the armaments that the troops were dragging behind either disappeared for no reason or fell into the mud. Those who disappeared may have been stolen, and those who have fallen into the quagmire basically can't get out.
Because the means of delivery are mainly donkeys. And the way to find the donkey is as follows: first find the village chief, and then force him to hand over the donkey in the village with a gun.
There are many guns, but the village chief is hard to find, and donkeys are limited.
If you want to deliver a letter to the next province, you have to spend a month on the road, as in the Ming Dynasty.
The grassroots leaders of the troops have also been distracted to manage the "internal ghosts" well.
The first type of inner ghost is the soldier. At that time, the soldier's monthly salary was 12 yuan, and the company commander was 40 yuan, but the bandits in the mountains offered a rifle of 7,000 yuan to trick the soldiers into stealing guns and selling them. Machine guns and officer pistols are more expensive. So the company locked up the guns when they slept at night.
The second type of inner ghost is still a soldier, but it is their mouth. The soldiers' mouths were not mainly used to speak, but to eat, but because they were hungry and did not eat well, they ran to the village to steal dogs to eat at every opportunity. The company commander was very worried about this.
He was worried about this, not because he was afraid that the soldiers would take a stitch from the masses, but because they were not hygienic when cooking dog meat, and they would get sick after eating and drinking, and they would basically hang up as soon as they got sick.
Hang up one less one. What if you don't have to worry about it?
The list goes on. It's really thanks to God's love that so many black comedies have been sent in a sad era.
But it's not the most scalpy-ting.
After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the white-hot stage, when the Chinese army gradually withdrew from the east to the western inland areas, the money and food to maintain the army and government expenditure became the biggest problem.
In the past, the fiscal revenue of the Nationalist Government mainly came from customs duties, salt taxes, consumption taxes, and bonds in the east, but after it was withdrawn to the inland areas, all the revenues were gone, but the war had to be continued.
The long dark night of sorrow began.
The vast interior is not poor, it is really poor. In addition to farming, there was no other livelihood in the ancient villages, and many peasants were busy all year long, barely enough to make ends meet, but now suddenly millions of troops and countless civil servants came to hula, how could the burden be bearable? There was a great famine in Henan, and many people starved to death, but the Kuomintang army couldn't fight on an empty stomach, so continue to collect grain! Between the dead people and the dead country, choose one with your eyes closed.
It's not the worst thing that has come to this point.
Because the hand of the Nationalist Government had not substantially reached into the desolate bosom of the inland countryside, the officials in charge of taxation were dumbfounded when they began their work. Taxation is based on household registration and the amount of land, but the household registration found in many places shows that the original information is still left in the Ming Dynasty, and there has been neither land survey nor population census for hundreds of years, how to collect taxes?
For large areas of ancient villages, the Nationalist government and the army were like outsiders descending from the sky. The magistrate and the village chief carried a sack of tax collection on their backs, and they didn't know who to cry to.
On the one hand, the government of the Republic of China hangs high in the sky, and on the other hand, the inland that has fallen into the dust, between the two, it turns out that you are you and I am me, and there is no internal relationship.
Perhaps it is the warlord division that has strengthened this hollow situation in which the heavens return to the heavens and the earth to the earth, or perhaps it is due to the inertia of the 3,000-year-old traditional Chinese society.
In any case, the central government of the Republic of China has nothing to do with inland society, which always sounds a bit unbelievable, but the reality is irrefutable.
What do the details of these fragmented thoughts say? A sad fact: the "sixpence" at the feet of Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek - the people, things, structures, and forms on the land of the Republic of China are not much better than the society of the Ming Dynasty.
The ground beneath their feet is still the same land, the times have changed dramatically and things have happened in a hurry, and in the absence of the strong intervention of foreign ideas, the leaders can only instinctively seek treatment from conventional wisdom.
What are those traditional healing techniques?
Can modern organizational forces grow in their soil?
In the face of the turbulent tide of the times, are they really as invincible as people boast today?
Wang Yaqiao, as the head of the Axe Gang, generally plots behind the scenes, and rarely participates in assassination operations in person, and among his subordinates, the most capable and mysterious is Walker.
Born in 1902 into a wealthy family in Baoying County, Jiangsu Province, Hua Kezhi has always been an excellent student in the eyes of his teachers, from private school to university, and if he lived in peacetime, he might have become a brilliant scholar, businessman, or local official, but in that stormy and troubled era, no one could have kept himself out of that storm.
Influenced by his father and teacher, Hua Kezhi first believed in Mr. Zhongshan's "Three People's Principles" and joined the Kuomintang before the Northern Expedition. After the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Nanjing in 1927, the 25-year-old Hua Kezhi also became the youth minister of the Nanjing Municipal Party Department of the Kuomintang.
However, after Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 counter-revolutionary incident, Hua Kezhi was very indignant and angrily denounced Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary behavior. Later, Hua Kezhi was arrested on suspicion of "colluding with the Communist Party", and was rescued by the Kuomintang leftist veterans before being released from prison.
After his release from prison, Hua Kezhi came to Shanghai, where he became acquainted with several Kuomintang leftists and close friends who were equally disappointed with Chiang Kai-shek, including Wang Yaqiao.
After the outbreak of the 918 Incident, Hua Kezhi believed that the Japanese invaders' plot against China was already Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew about it, but Chiang Kai-shek was still obsessed and continued to adopt a policy of connivance against Japan, so it was necessary to kill Chiang Kai-shek in order to unite with the outside world.
The inn introduced the story of Sun Fengming's assassination of Wang Jingwei a few days ago, in fact, in that assassination operation that shocked the whole country, the real commander-in-chief behind the scenes was Hua Kezhi. Moreover, Hua Kezhi's assassination target was actually Chiang Kai-shek, but by mistake, Wang Jingwei became Chiang Kai-shek's scapegoat.
After the "stabbing Wang" case, Chiang Kai-shek learned that the mastermind behind the scenes was Hua Kezhi, and he was furious and offered a reward of 100,000 oceans for his head.
In order to avoid pursuit, Hua Kezhi has changed dozens of names and identities, ranging from traders and reporters to overseas Chinese giants and Kuomintang generals, all of whom have "played", which also gave him a nickname - "Changeable Langjun".
However, after this assassination operation, Hua Kezhi also began to reflect on the way to save the country, and after continuous consideration, he finally resolutely chose to join our party, and his introduction to the party was Pan Hannian, a veteran of our party's intelligence front.
Hua Kezhi originally applied to work in Yan'an, but for the sake of the united front, he still decided to let him follow Pan Hannian and work on the hidden front.
Hua Kezhi performed very well on this front, constantly spying on the military intelligence of the Japanese and puppet armies, assassinating traitors, and exposing Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy to collude with Japan and puppet sabotage of the united front, like a shadow, everywhere and omnipotent.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Hua Kezhi also sent 5 truckloads of ammunition to the New Fourth Army, what is going on?
It turned out that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, because the Kuomintang army was in the rear, it was too late to receive the equipment surrendered by the Japanese in East China, and these equipment were locked in warehouses by the Japanese. Seeing this situation, Hua Kezhi started to think of giving these equipment to the New Fourth Army.
At that time, Hua Kezhi had already been sent to work in the liberated area, but how could he do it without eating a bite of this mouthful of fat, not to mention that he had joined the party for so many years, and he was about to justifiably disclose his identity, and getting some weapons to give to the New Fourth Army was also a welcome gift.
So, Hua Kezhi disguised himself as a Kuomintang lieutenant general, used a middleman to build a bridge, and obtained hundreds of boxes of ammunition and 200 machine guns from a Japanese major general, which was enough to load five large trucks. After that, he overcame many difficulties and finally transported it to the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, which was a relief for the New Fourth Army, which lacked ammunition at that time.
During the War of Liberation, Hua Kezhi continued to give full play to his own advantages and was active in the hidden front behind enemy lines, and made a lot of great contributions. For example, Chiang Kai-shek had a copy of the 25,000th Chinese military map, which was kept by a special person, but it was stolen by Hua Kezhi and given to the East China Field Army, and no one knows how he did it.
In his later years, Hua Kezhi was very respectful of reform and opening up, but he also had some concerns, saying: "If it weren't for old age and weakness, I would be willing to engage in economic work." However, I am afraid that many people will lose themselves in the face of money. A communist, spiritually speaking, he is rich in the world; Materially speaking, when the people are still poor, he should stick to poverty. ”
On January 7, 1998, Walker's death was completed, completing his 96-year legendary life.
The Yangtze Evening News reporter saw the news report of the day in many materials in the Tongshan District Archives. At that time, after the opening ceremony of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Fourth Central Committee of the Kuomintang, everyone was taking pictures at the entrance of the first conference hall, and the assassination took place at this time. Sun Fengming attended the meeting as a reporter for the Chenguang News Agency, and while taking advantage of the crowding and disorderly order, he shot Wang Jingwei. Since many media were present at the scene, reporters from various media outlets, including "Central Daily", "Declaration", "Ta Kung Pao", "Central News Agency" and other media, made detailed reports as eyewitnesses. In these reports, it can be seen that Wang Jingwei was shot three times. Among them, one shot hit the left arm, one shot hit the left cheek, and the other shot hit the vertebrae in the back. Zhang Ji, the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee, hugged Sun Fengming, Zhang Xueliang kicked the gun in his hand down, Wang Jingwei's guards fired back, and Sun Fengming was shot and captured on the spot.
According to historical records, nine years later, in 1944, Wang Jingwei died in Nagoya, Japan, due to the poisoning of a bullet left in his spine by Sun Fengming's assassination.
