84. Changes in the Provinces (16)
Napoleon said, "In war, the first must be rich, the second must be rich, and the third must be rich." ”
Grandpa Mao is much more elegant, "I have food in my hands, and I don't panic." ”
Chen Ke did not have the talent of these two to point out the facts in such concise words. Facing the expectant eyes of a large number of party members and cadres, Chen Ke could only speak at length like a chicken woman, "I want to emphasize once again that our People's Party itself is first and foremost a laborer. This is the starting point for all revolutionary work. With this starting point in mind, we can talk about what distinguishes us from other political parties. Up to now, all other political parties in Jiangxi have been political organizations formed by the exploiting class. All their policies are nothing more than letting others contribute and benefiting themselves. Comrades must recognize this. The eyes of the broad masses of the people are clear, and it is who is presiding over the land reform, who is working together with the broad masses of the people, and who is facing and solving all kinds of problems together with the broad masses of laborers. The masses saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts. In this way, we will be able to defeat all political parties. Why? Who's going to talk about it? ”
This question seems to be magnificent, and it has a high posture of strategic contempt for all enemies. But Chen Ke was worried about whether the comrades would really understand.
After a short silence, Zhang Yingchen, political commissar of the 204th Division, stood up to speak. "Comrades, all of us are born to work. Everyone knows that you don't have to work. We, as laborers, under our current system, the fruits of our labor belong to ourselves. Those exploiters, once they do not have the support of the exploitation system, they can only sit on the mountain and eat nothing. We have more every year, and the exploiters have less every year, and we can definitely win in the end. ”
This explanation can basically be scored full marks, not only Chen Ke was greatly admired, but also comrades can understand. What made Chen Ke even more admired was that a comrade then got up and asked: "That means we have to spend several years doing this work?" A long battle with these guys? ”
The comrades below did not have the attitude of rushing for quick success, at least Chen Ke did not see the impatience to think that the revolutionary work must be completed in one day.
This comrade is right, land reform is only one of the policies for developing agricultural production, and any policy has an inevitable process from implementation to fruition. When we talk about materialism, dialectic, and science, what we want to establish is to understand the inevitability of this process and understand the inevitability of this process. Therefore, at this stage, we must unswervingly complete the land reform in Jiangxi. This is the foundation of everything we do. ”
The meeting quickly unified thinking, and Chen Ke was very satisfied with He Zudao's political work. As long as you are not arrogant and impatient, and start from the basics step by step, many problems will be solved. Not to mention that the enemies are essentially a rabble.
However, in a meeting with He Zudao and senior cadres, Chen Ke still expressed some tactical concerns about the current situation in Jiangxi. "Comrades, do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes, and it's good not to do it. This is the custom of the old officialdom, and everyone must understand what this so-called mistake means. The reason why our People's Party has been able to surpass other political forces so far is first of all because of our own wrong views. What is a crime, what is a mistake, and what is a failure. This in itself is what the Theory of Contradiction is meant to address. How to correctly understand what is happening and how to correctly judge the main and secondary contradictions that lead to these problems is a method of thinking that comrades must conscientiously grasp. ”
These comrades had followed Chen Ke's revolution from a very early age and had also participated in training at the Wuhan Party School. Chen Ke used the things that everyone has experienced together as an example to talk about the application method of "The Theory of Contradiction". After listening to Chen Ke's words, the comrades just nodded slightly, not excited at all.
Chen Ke was very relieved of these comrades, and he no longer repeatedly entangled in theory, and the direction of discussion went straight to application, "In the face of the enemy's attack, we cannot remain silent and let them talk nonsense. We must explain our basic stand to the broad masses of the people, analyze it clearly with the theory of contradictions, and explain it in words that the masses can understand. At the same time, don't fall into the trap of trying to encompass everything with one contradiction. If you use this simple and rude attitude, it will be a big problem. ”
"Do they really dare to talk nonsense, reversing right and wrong to the point of disregarding their lives?" Hua Xiongmao's words were murderous.
For a political party with overwhelming military power, it is one of the most common mistakes to fall into by criticizing with weapons rather than with the weapon of criticism. In fact, not to mention Hua Xiongmao, Chen Ke himself has no good impression of the literati who are now forming the party. Before crossing over, Chen Ke thought that there was no need for these people who were full of exploitative ideas to reform, and shooting them all might be the most efficient method. After personally participating in the revolution, Chen Ke felt that Grandpa Mao's great efforts to transform his thinking back then were the only correct ideas.
The figure that represents the highest level of Chinese philosophy and even materialist dialectics is none other than the Taiji diagram. After the endless cycle of yin and yang on the Taiji diagram, especially the two points of yin and yang and yang and yin are pointed, the logic is perfectly self-consistent.
If only the existence of the People's Party is allowed to absolutely support the existence of the People's Party, and the existence of the forces that oppose the People's Party is absolutely not allowed, then the country and the system are logically completely inconsistent. Faced with the questions of many comrades, Grandpa Mao often likes to use a sentence, "The struggle is not enough." "Revolution is not a dinner party, progress can only be sought in the midst of struggle. It is only in struggle that the laws of things themselves can be understood. It is easy for the current People's Party to kill all these old literati, but the tremendous role that these old literati can play in revolutionaries' understanding of the revolution is not at all something that the People's Party's own internal education can provide.
In China's darkest era, the party was born out of thin air and finally saved China. However, in the era of New China, a group of people who opposed Grandpa Mao's thought and the socialist system appeared. When Chen Ke was born, the mainstream of public opinion was questioning Grandpa Mao and the socialist system. It is because there are doubts, criticisms, discussions, and research. On the contrary, a large number of staunch followers of Grandpa Mao's line appeared.
Chen Ke smiled and said: "Without the existence of these guys, the people would not have been able to truly recognize the revolution. Revolution and counter-revolution are themselves a pair of contradictions, and if there is no counter-revolution, where are there still revolutionaries? There is coexistence between the two sides of the contradiction. But in the final analysis, society is propelled by the productive forces, and the people do not seek to be revolutionaries or counter-revolutionaries. People are looking for a better life. On the common point of departure of the pursuit of a better life, some people chose the path of revolution, while others chose to become counter-revolutionaries. Whoever can develop the productive forces to the maximum is the real core of winning the support of the masses. Who can convince the masses that which road to take will bring real benefits to the people is the real focus of the struggle for the position of public opinion. ”
It took a lot of effort to hold a meeting with senior officials. After the meeting ended, Chen Ke called He Zudao and Hua Xiongmao together. "My original plan was to come to Jiangxi to have a look, and then rush back to Anhui as soon as possible. Plans can't keep up with the changes, that's why I've been here for so long. But I'm going back to Anhui in the next few days. You two comrades now have to get the job done. ”
"Wen Qing, you are a good shopkeeper." Hua Xiongmao said with a smile.
"It's not that I'm in charge of the shopkeeper, it's that I've been away from Anhui for so long, and the situation in Anhui must have developed greatly, and this great development means that we have encountered a lot of new big problems. Social progress is like that, if you can't keep up with the times, it will feel like you can't move forward. The more industrialized organizations like our People's Party are, the higher the level of social and economic development, the more problems and complexities there are. I'd love to stay in Jiangxi for a while, but I can't. When the Anhui problem is solved, I will go to Huaihai Province. The work over there is straightened out, and I will see whether to go back to Jiangxi or Hubei first. Chen Ke talked about his work plan.
Hua Xiongmao was also teasing, but when he heard Chen Ke answer so seriously, he also put away his smile, "You are also too hard." ”
"There are only four provinces, which is really not hard. When we liberate the whole country, and let me run from province to province, I will never be able to do it. Everyone work hard, don't be afraid of problems, and must face and solve problems realistically. If there is something that cannot be solved, tell the truth when reporting. Don't speculate, it's normal if something goes wrong, and it's not normal if there's no problem. Zhenglan, you're a little anxious. You must be responsible in these things, and don't think that if something goes wrong, it is a big deal. ”
Hua Xiongmao nodded, indicating that he understood.
Chen Ke turned to He Zudao again, "Political Commissar He, when anything can be seen in the end, it means that both internal and external factors are present. At that time, it was definitely not accidental. From the perspective of these political parties, the internal reason is that they need to express their demands for politics, and the external reason is that the existence of our People's Party has greatly changed the old political and economic system in Jiangxi. This is the key to this wave of party building. Since the contradiction already exists in such a situation, then the situation will be long-lasting. And with the development of the productive forces and the accumulation of financial resources in the hands of the people, there will only be more and more people trying to form political parties. Therefore, how should the work of the People's Party unite the masses and recruit party members should be carried out? You should discuss this matter with the party committee more. It is necessary not only to discuss more with the higher-level party committees, but also with the grass-roots party committees. Party building is the top priority. ”
He Zudao also nodded, "I have a plan to let the current senior cadres go down to the front line of the area where the land reform has been completed." Some comrades who have performed well at the grassroots level are temporarily working in relatively high management positions. In this way, I think it will be effective in raising people's awareness of the organization as a whole. ”
Chen Ke smiled after hearing this, isn't this the policy that the party often adopts for senior cadres to go down to the grassroots level?
"Political Commissar He, the idea you put forward is very good, in fact, the key is the transparency of decision-making. And I want to remind you that if the grassroots comrades reach a better level of management and they do not learn to see the overall situation, but indulge in the pleasure of giving orders, then something big will happen. ”
He Zudao nodded calmly, "There will definitely be such comrades, and we will also pay great attention to the supervision of this aspect." Some people may really not be suitable for some jobs, and job swapping is also a test. ”
"Well, let's make these issues clear and clear first, and then talk about job swaps. Otherwise, it will definitely involve personnel struggles, and if the work becomes personnel struggles, it will be a big trouble. Chen Ke instructed.
However, things really can't catch up with the change in the plan, Chen Ke was originally going to leave in a few days, but he delayed for half a month before leaving. There is a lot of new news coming from the provinces.
Chen Ke arrived in Jiangxi in November 1910. After almost three months of work, it was January 1911. The parliamentary system designed by Yuan Shikai to standardize the Beiyang provinces was echoed in other provinces. But these reciprocities are by no means unconditional. Yunnan-Guizhou and Liangguang formed a regional alliance under the leadership of the Governor of Yunnan-Guizhou and Liangguang respectively. They were the first to electrify the whole country and proposed to form their own parliaments in each province on the basis of the Beiyang model, but the deputies of the first formal congress were still the deputies of the previous provisional congress for the time being. The official election of delegates to the National Assembly is at the time of the second formal Congress.
This suggestion received a formal response from other provinces, including the Beiyang Cabinet. In fact, everyone does not want to be replaced, and everyone hopes that these congressional representatives can survive for thousands of generations. It's just that it's inconvenient for the Beiyang Cabinet to mention it. Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi took the lead in advocating, why not the Beiyang government? Prince Qing Yixuan, prime minister of the Beiyang Cabinet, sent a telegram to the provinces for discussion. With the exception of Fujian and Shaanxi, which had already rebelled, they quickly called back and asked for a new election of their legislators, but the other provinces maintained their support.
The attitude of the People's Party is also very traditional, "Until the Manchus have not fallen, the People's Party will never recognize any existing parliament." ”
Chen Ke was afraid that he would not have time to deal with these things after arriving in Anhui. He waited until all the provinces reached an agreement before leaving Jiangxi.
Chen Ke's team marched rapidly along the way, and had no plan to stop at all. Everyone privately discussed Chairman Chen's anxious move, and many comrades thought that Chen Ke wanted to go home to see his wife and children quickly. There is no malice on the part of everyone. Chen Ke has been away from home for more than a year.
