Chapter 49
Lu Huitian is a student of Fudan Public School and has been actively participating in various activities of Huangpu Publishing House. Usually likes to laugh and talk, but after this incident, the answer to admit that he participated in the shootout was concise and to the point. Looking at Chen Ke's gaze, he didn't dodge it in the slightest. Chen Ke is very satisfied with this.
"Who else." Chen Ke continued to shout.
"There are no more people here, and several other people have run away." Qi Huishen answered this question. He stared at Chen Ke, as if to see Chen Ke's attitude. As a result, Qi Huishen couldn't see anything, if it was before, Chen Ke would always use his expression intentionally or unintentionally to express his thoughts, and now Chen Ke's face can no longer see his inner emotions except for fortitude and concentration.
"It's been a few days since I participated in the shootout, do you have any ideas?" Chen Ke asked. After speaking, he saw everyone standing again, so he waved his hand, "Everyone do it first, let's have a meeting." ”
The conference room is a classroom, with all desks and chairs. Everyone put their desks together and sat down around. No one occupies the first place, and Chen Ke sat down there as a matter of course. Inadvertently, Chen Keju was in the middle, and on the left were Qi Huishen, Qin Wuan, Kuroshima Renichiro, and there was a vacant position between Qi Huishen and Qin Wuan, which was thought to be left for Hua Xiongmao. On the right are You Wei, He Zudao, Xie Mingxian, Wu Xingchen, Chai Qingguo, and the others sat down in a place farther away from Chen Ke. Lu Huitian simply sat opposite the farthest from Chen Ke, and it seemed that he had the meaning of a hearing.
After the rules of the regular party meeting, the chairman of this meeting, that is, Chen Ke, was elected. Ho continued to work as a clerk.
"I will now formally mention one thing, and in the future, all official meetings within the People's Party will be called comrades." Chen Ke said. Although everyone didn't know what Chen Ke meant, this proposal was unanimously agreed.
"Comrade Lu Huitian, I want to ask, it's been a few days since the shootout, what do you think about this incident."
Lu Huitian was about to speak, but when he saw that everyone's eyes fell on him, he straightened his waist and said, "I acted too recklessly and caused a lot of trouble to the party, I was wrong." My comrades have also criticized me at previous meetings. ”
"Any other ideas?" Chen Ke continued to ask. If it was in the past, Chen Ke was afraid that he would still feel that Lu Huitian's attitude was very sincere and had great merit. Now Chen Ke doesn't feel much about it. His attention shifted to something else entirely.
Lu Huitian seems to have been criticized a lot, and he didn't have much intention of resisting Chen Ke's questioning, "I should have told the party headquarters first, I was afraid that something would happen, so I brought a pistol ......"
"That's not the point, I don't know how the party organizations in Shanghai discuss this. I don't want to hear you say these apologies. Comrade Lu Huitian, what I am asking now is what kind of obligations and responsibilities you think you have for the party organization, and what kind of right you should have to speak in the party organization. Chen Ke said very seriously.
Lu Huitian did not say a word, this question has not been asked by several veteran comrades of the party organization, or even if it has been asked, it has not been asked so clearly. Although he had a thousand words about it, he could not say it clearly and clearly at one moment.
"What has been done, no matter how much you regret it or is satisfied, is in the past. It is impossible to change or start over. What I want to ask now is not only Comrade Lu Huitian, but also all of you here, what kind of voice do you feel you have in the party organization, what kind of work you will undertake, and what kind of obligations you will undertake? What is your relationship with the party organization? The reason why I ask this is to look to the future. According to the plan of the party organization, the focus of our operations will be shifted to the establishment of a base area in Anhui. I went to Beijing for this purpose. Now that I've come back from Beijing, I want to ask what kind of views and opinions you have about the People's Party. Then I will be able to decide who will stay in Shanghai and who will go to Anhui with the Party Central Committee. ”
As soon as Chen Ke's words ended, except for a few old party members, everyone else showed a look of surprise. Chen Ke glanced around the comrades and saw that the new party members couldn't help but look at each other, and some even began to whisper. He was very pleased with the secrecy of the old party members. This is the core secret of the party, and if those two betrayed people learn of this secret, then the future work will indeed encounter major setbacks. Now, Chen Ke is happy to see that this kind of thing has not happened. He was already convinced that the secrecy of the old party members was indeed very reliable.
"I feel like I should know more." Lu Huitian really didn't expect Chen Ke to be so frank, he said with annoyance, "If I had known that I was going to Anhui, then I would have been much more cautious." Definitely not so impulsive. ”
"You mean that you want to be able to become a full member. I'm right. Chen Ke asked. His voice was calm and emotionless. This calmness made Lu Huitian's sudden complaint immediately frozen. "I ......, I really didn't do it according to the rules of the party organization." He said with some promise.
Thinking back to that time, Lu Huitian suddenly felt a throbbing flow all over his body again. Every nerve was stimulated by a tingling sensation, and the whole body seemed to be solidified and unable to move. It was only after the fact that he realized that he was afraid of passing through the ghost gate, when the bullets were flying, Lu Huitian didn't have time to think about it so much, at that time he only had no concept of the gunshot, he just didn't have a correct judgment about the sudden fall of someone around him, and the sharp sound. At that time, Lu Huitian's question was, what happened?
This shootout was really unexpected, when the angry masses marched to the front of the city hall of the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Shanghai Consular Corps, they looked at the thousands of people with angry faces with frightened looks, including Lu Huitian, the marching masses suddenly gave birth to a kind of pride, and the patrolmen who were high on their toes on weekdays were terrified, which really greatly stimulated the emotions of the masses, although the People's Party had also planned the parade route, but angry, excited, As well as the group consciousness formed in the course of mass action prevailed. The slogans of "Chinese do not need foreigners to care" and "foreigners get out of China" are getting louder and louder. With these concise slogans, there is a growing impulse among the masses to put them into practice. It's like a flood blocked by a dam, the longer it goes, the higher the water level. Lu Huitian stood at the front of the team, and he clearly saw that the patrolmen on the opposite side had gloomy faces, and the fear revealed in their bones could be clearly seen and felt from the fingers that clenched the rifles, from the constricted shoulders, and the constricted pupils, and the despair on the faces of some people.
The momentum of the people has overwhelmed those patrols, and if they push again, the torrent of the people will be able to crush everything in front of them, and lift off the foreign devils who were once high above and trample on the soles of the people's feet. At this delicate moment, at the moment when the anger of the people had completely overwhelmed the foreign devils, the Indian patrols opened fire.
Lu Huitian was not injured, he and several other comrades were armed with guns. Seriously, before the parade, a few comrades who had bought guns privately decided to carry them just to be emboldened. In their senses, foreigners are rampant simply because of guns. They brought guns privately, and they carried them with them during the march. Moreover, in the rural social survey, You Yu brought a gun, and it had a very good effect. This inspired Lu Huitian and others to bring guns.
It's not just the marchers who have their own mass behavior, but also the patrolmen who are terrified by the thousands of marchers, and their fears are doubly resonant because of their weak position. After a few gunshots, several people in front were knocked down, but those in the back instinctively rushed forward to see what was going on. This situation seems to have been provoked by the shooting of the Indian patrol, and the big action of thousands of people, in the eyes of the foreign patrol of dozens of people, is really like the tide of the sea, and it will swallow them up in the next moment. Since there were already comrades shooting, the others didn't care about the shooting at all.
That is, the forward action of the masses saved Lu Huitian and others, and the people in the front row were knocked down one after another, and Lu Huitian, who was relatively far behind, was not hit by a bullet. The crowd finally knew that something was wrong, and when they heard the screams and gunshots, the crowd behind them began to flee. That is, Lu Huitian was coerced by the masses and dispersed. Lu Huitian, whose mind was full of various emotions and signals, did not come to his senses until he ran a long distance with the masses. And the door of the patrol room was already full of gunfire.
A few days ago, Lu Huitian had been hiding inside the school, and the patrol and government were all dispatched. Apart from him, several other comrades with guns did not show up again. It wasn't until Qi Huishen personally went to Fudan Public School to find him that he came to attend the party meeting. After learning that he had run away, there was a shootout at the city hall of the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Shanghai Consular Corps. Many members of the Whampoa Publishing House and the People's Party were arrested. Under the mediation of Yan Fu and Mr. Ma Xiangbo, these people were released. The comrades who were arrested in front of the city hall of the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Shanghai Consular Corps are still locked up in the patrol room. It is said that some people were seriously injured and their fate is unknown.
It was at this time that Lu Huitian suddenly felt that maybe he didn't bring a gun, and his comrades didn't have a gun. At a later meeting, Lu Huitian also confessed his mistakes. However, after admitting his mistake, he had another thought, if he didn't bring a gun, wouldn't those Indian patrols shoot? What he can be sure of is that he and several other comrades did not draw their guns before the Indian patrols opened fire, and they had no intention of pulling out their guns.
"I would like to say that the Indian patrolmen must have fired the first shots. Our comrades engaged in a shootout with them, and we were not wrong. Our mistake was simply that we should not have organized mass demonstrations in this way, and we should not have failed to take into account that the Indian patrols would inevitably shoot at the Chinese masses. The marchers should not be put in such a dangerous position. As for those foreign devils, we didn't shoot them enough and not enough force. Didn't open enough! Chen Ke's voice echoed in the conference room.
These words shook Lu Huitian's ear drums, and the feeling of distress and paralysis caused by memories suddenly disappeared. Yes, if it's just for those foreign devils, there really isn't the slightest reason to forgive. They have so many lives of Chinese people on their hands, and it is not wrong to kill them at all.
"But that's all in the past. What I want to ask now is what you said earlier, what kind of power you think you should have in the party organization, and what kind of responsibility you should bear. If we don't understand this, we don't have a basis to continue. ”
"Wenqing...... Comrade, what exactly is this basis that you are talking about. It was Wang Qinian who spoke. Wang Qinian, who is a Cantonese, seems to have learned Chinese pinyin hard, and the spoken language already has the meaning of Cantonese Mandarin in the future.
"Whether we should obey the discipline of the party or not, whether we should obey the decisions of the party organization. It is not only that we have listened to the arrangements of the party organization, but more importantly, whether we have done our work well. If we just said that we tried our best to organize, but we didn't get things done. Then I want to ask, is this answer correct? In the case of this march, was there a charter before the march? Is it because there is a problem with this arrangement in the first place, or is there a problem with the implementation of this arrangement by our comrades? Chen Ke's voice was not stern, but there was a determination that the people below would not be allowed not to answer.
None of the comrades below spoke, and this question is indeed difficult to answer now. Whether it is questionable whether there is a problem with the party's resolution, or whether there is a problem with the implementation of the comrades below. This can really be said to be a matter of public justification and mother-in-law saying that mother-in-law is reasonable. Because participating in and organizing this Shanghai parade was a joint decision of the party organization, everyone present participated in the voting. If it is only the comrades below who have a problem with the implementation, then there are many fewer people involved. However, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and these comrades know that they have not taken into account the issue of patrolling and shooting. And many people's eyes fell on Qi Huishen's face, when Chen Ke was away, although Qi Huishen was the faint first person in Shanghai's party organization, he did raise this question. In the final vote, Qi Huishen's doubts were rejected. Qi Huishen also followed everyone's wishes to make plans after that.
Chen Ke now clearly questioned whether it was the party branch that made a mistake or the comrades who carried it out made a mistake. Looking at it now, I am afraid that there are mistakes, and the mistakes of the party branch may be even more obvious.
"Comrades, as a new political party, I think everyone has studied the party constitution. This new-style party does not want to repeat the mistakes of the old-fashioned parties. I don't want to learn from the Manchu regime. We have been proven wrong. Do you think this operation was successful, and if you think this operation was successful, please raise your hand! Chen Kelang asked.
No one raised their hands, and quite a few lowered their heads.
"So who's going to tell me what the purpose of this operation is?" Chen Ke then asked, "Who was the interim chairman of that party meeting?" ”
"It's me." Qi Huishen replied loudly.
"Then Comrade Qi Huishen, please tell me, what is the purpose of the action in the resolution discussed at that party meeting?"
Qi Huishen dug out a record, and then read it aloud: "The purpose of the People's Party's participation in the mass protest action triggered by the Shanghai Trial Public Church is to contact various local political groups in Shanghai and strengthen its influence and appeal among various organizations in Shanghai through this action. The People's Party now operates under the name of Whampoa Publishing House. Through this parade, we will absorb as many forces as possible to join the Whampoa Publishing House. After reading this paragraph, Qi Huishen stopped reading.
Everyone was silent, and this was a joint decision of the party organization.
Chen Ke glanced around his comrades again, and under his bright gaze, many people avoided his gaze, while others straightened their waists and looked back at Chen Ke seriously. After reading everyone, Chen Ke said: "This demonstration did not achieve our goal. Then we must now find out why we were wrong. Find out the mistake so that you don't make it again in the future. It is not for the sake of engaging in personnel struggles, nor is it for the sake of overthrowing anyone or pushing anyone to a high position. It's not about finding a few people as scapegoats. Everything we do is for the sake of the Chinese revolution that our People's Party is going to push forward next, so that this revolution can succeed and then liberate the people of all China. Therefore, before proceeding to the next step, we must understand what requirements we have, what responsibilities and obligations we have for this party organization. If you don't understand this, you'll make a mistake next time. This time four of our comrades were arrested, and two of them defected, and told the patrol room a lot about our internal affairs. Well! This is a clear proof of the lack of understanding of the relationship between us and the party organization. ”
Chen Ke's voice was sonorous and powerful, and the comrades who had originally lowered their heads also raised their heads and looked back at Chen Ke.
"According to the organizational regulations of the BJP, everyone has the right to speak, especially in this operation, and since everyone has voted, I, as the chairman of this meeting, I ask everyone to speak in turn. This meeting will be very long, and I would like to adjourn it for the time being. When you should go to the toilet, everyone thinks about what questions they want to ask. After Comrade Hua Xiongmao came, we continued the meeting. The meeting is now adjourned. ”
As soon as Chen Ke's voice fell, some people felt surprised, and some people felt relieved. Chen Ke said to Qi Huishen and You Wei: "You go to the office with me to talk." ”
The three of them arrived at Chen Ke's office, which was planned to be an office for Chen Ke. Chen Kefang left his wife He Ying inside. As soon as he entered the door, Chen Ke introduced his wife to Qi Huishen. Then he said: "Junjie, you go around first, just go to other schools, I have to have a meeting here." ”
He Ying has become accustomed to Chen Ke being so busy these days, and she asked, "Where do we live?" Is it right in the school? ”
"That's a good question. Will be deep, where do I live? Chen Kexian Qi will ask deeply.
"I've already arranged the dormitory. However, Wen Qing brought his family, so I'll adjust it. ”
The school has now been completed, and after taking Chen Ke and He Ying to their dormitory, He Ying looked at the four-meter by six-meter room and was quite satisfied. There are also beds, tables, and bookshelves. He Ying said: "Wen Qing, you go and get busy, I'll arrange a place to stay." ”
Out of the dormitory building, Qi Hui smiled deeply and said, "Sister-in-law is really reasonable. ”
"Well, I think I'm very lucky." Chen Ke said with a smile. was walking, but as soon as the door opened, he saw Hua Xiongmao coming in from a distance. Hua Xiongmao saw Chen Ke and Qi Huishen, and immediately rushed over. When he got closer, he and Chen Ke shook hands tightly, "Wen Qing, you're back." You're not there, and a lot of things are really different. ”
This was said earnestly, Chen Ke couldn't help but peek at Qi Huishen's expression, only to see that Qi Huishen looked calm, and there was no anger or disappointment at all. Chen Ke then said: "Zhenglan, it's okay if you're fine." In the work of Shanghai, the achievements are the main thing. Revolutions will always have setbacks. Now let's get back to the meeting. ”
