CHAPTER XXVI

"There is no love without a reason in the world, and there is no hate without a reason." At this time, Grandpa Mao's teaching. Chen Ke deeply believed that a revolutionary could not and could not create a "revolution". Revolution is already conceived in social contradictions, in class oppression. The reason why the people cannot see through this is only because they are blinded by all kinds of social appearances, and by the distorted explanations deliberately fabricated by the old system. The reason why Chen Ke became a leader is because the ideas of Marxism-Leninism and Grandpa Mao pointed out to him the real status quo of society. Tell Chen Ke how to see the core contradiction from the complicated appearance, and be able to effectively solve this contradiction.

Upon learning of the new situation in which disaster victims began to pour into Fengtai County, Chen Ke remained silent throughout the afternoon while working in the fields. For him, it is not difficult to determine exactly what to do. Even if the total number of people in the disaster area reaches 200,000, as long as they can work together, it will not be too much of a problem to survive until the first batch of grain harvest. And most of those who can escape here are young and middle-aged. The insurance group of 8,000 people can force the landlords of Fengtai County to obediently hand over all the land. If there are 50,000 people, the landlords in other areas are afraid that they will have to hand over their underwear.

The difficulty now is how to get the comrades of the People's Party to truly agree with the path chosen by Chen Ke. After thinking about it repeatedly, Chen Ke felt that the comrades must be completely sure that only the people are the truly reliable force. As long as policies and methods are rationally operated, the victims are not only not a burden, but also the greatest wealth of the revolution.

But this requires, first of all, to convince the comrades that only the people can be relied upon. This requires that the members of the BJP must stand on the side of the working masses. Since he claims to be a believer in Grandpa Mao, a revolutionary of the socialist revolution. Chen Ke would not wishfully believe that the members of the People's Party can really have this kind of awareness. Enlightenment is forced out of necessity. At the present stage, the People's Party is not so much a revolutionary party as a small clique with Chen Ke as the core.

The degree of advanced nature of the party members is actually the strength of their personal loyalty to Chen Ke. Just like Hua Xiongmao, He Zudao and other comrades who performed very well, they were just full of trust and loyalty to Chen Ke. And then carried out what Chen Ke wanted them to do. Moreover, many party members were desperate during the flood and had to work hard in order to survive. After the flood, because he had devoted a lot of effort to the revolution in Fengtai County, he felt that he had invested so much effort in vain, and it would be a loss to leave like this. Moreover, the rapid development of the revolutionary situation in Fengtai County has given these comrades hope. But Chen Ke knows very well that the biggest difference between these people and the exploiters of the old era is that they have done too much work and have become accustomed to the state of work.

In any case, in the face of the challenge of "the influx of disaster victims into the base areas," Chen Ke absolutely did not allow anyone to stand on the side of the exploiting class at this critical moment, and in particular, did not allow the People's Party to claim to be a new power, a new exploiting class. The BJP must stand on the side of ordinary workers. This is also the reason why Chen Ke asked the party members to do such hard work. The so-called great waves sweep the sands, and the hard work necessary for the revolution will weed out all those who are not determined. And what remains of the revolutionary work will be gold.

Sure enough, as Chen Ke expected, the first person who thought that the people were reliable was Youwu. You Wei has been taking on the hard work, as far as Chen Ke knows. You Wushi insisted on the leading role of party members. Chen Ke has always attached great importance to Yougu, and has the consciousness of a "warrior" in Yougu. As long as you give You Gou a job, then You Gou is like a pawn crossing the river, and there is no advance or retreat. That's what people are, and without the slightest flinch, they will do whatever it takes to accomplish their mission. No one is born with the ability to do anything, as long as the attitude is serious and the subjective initiative is exerted, a person will make rapid progress and enlightenment. That's what happened to you.

When You Wei said in public that the government was unreliable, the comrades of the People's Party felt that it was very right. But You said that "the people can be trusted". Chen Ke saw that many people had different opinions in their expressions.

"That's right, the people are the only force that can be relied on." He Zudao then spoke. His speech made the corners of many comrades' mouths twitch slightly. He Zudao admired You Wei in his heart, and there were many people who knew about it. This is not only the details of daily life, at the party meeting, He Zudao's first support was Chen Ke, and the second support was You Wei. Everyone sees it in their eyes, and their hearts are also transparent.

Of course, this can only be said to be prejudice, and He Zudao's speech is not to support You Wei. As the number one leader in the military's political work, He Zudao sincerely believes that the people are reliable.

"Do comrades feel that it is very hard to lead the people to work, so they are full of resentment?" Chen Ke asked with a smile, "Think about it, I have done a lot of things." But without the people, without the masses, can we do such a big thing in Fengtai County by relying on a few people like us? Comrades, the vast majority of the work is not done by ourselves. It was the people who did it. If the people can't be trusted, who can be trusted? ”

Chen Ke's words have a realistic basis that cannot be refuted, at least the local party members in Fengtai County think so. They know how much work their fellow villagers have done. These people can become members of the People's Party, without exception, they have performed well in their work. Although other party members may not be convinced by this statement, Chen Ke's words have reached this level, and the party members have understood what Chen Ke meant. No one had any intention of objecting anymore.

Chen Ke saw that everyone accepted his attitude willingly or unwillingly, so he continued: "We must maintain the current way of working, and party members must take the lead." Without this, our party and our revolution will have no future. ”

Seeing that no one objected, but many people had disapproving looks, Chen Ke smiled: "Just talking about these things, everyone must feel very empty." Let me tell you what I envision. How to solve the food problem this time. ”

Chen's plan is not complicated. It is nothing more than raising grain and money, opening up land and grabbing seeds. But the first option took the comrades by surprise. "It's not that there is no food in the disaster area, but there are many fences around Fengtai County. There is no three-year grain in any fence. Let's beat Zhang Youliang and dig out how much food. If the victims want to live, they must be brought back. Relying on our Fengtai County alone will definitely not work. ”

"Secretary Chen, let's go back? What if the local government is dispatched? Our insurance team is not a bandit. Someone hurriedly asked.

"It's not that we call over, it's that the people want to call back, and they want to ask us for help. Wait until I'm done with the matter. ”

"Second, raising money is not the same as raising food. On the one hand, if you lay a fence, you will have food, and you will have some money. But to raise money, you need to let the government contribute. Comrade Shang Yuan will come out to ask the government for money, but the government will not have food, but there will be no money. With the money, we can go to other places to buy food. ”

"As for opening up the land and grabbing seeds, there is so much land outside Fengtai County, as long as we rush to open up the land now, we will definitely be able to grab some results. Just do what we did in Fengtai County in other counties again. That's my rough plan. ”

After the comrades heard this, the military cadres were all gearing up. Breaking the fence, grabbing money and food, these things are what they are most passionate about. With Zhang Youliang's example, everyone is very confident in winning the battle.

However, the cadres in the civil affairs area are all bitter, the current work is already so hard, and they are doing it in other counties, so to what extent will the workload be increased?

Chen Ke smiled: "Comrades, this is a hard thing, I know. The army will face bloodshed and sacrifice. Civil affairs have to work harder. I can tell you right now that you're only going to have to work harder than you are now. But why do we do that? Why do the comrades of the BJP work so hard? Because we have the ideal of liberating the whole of China. As soon as I walked out of Fengtai County, I complained bitterly, what is this? ”

"We are not afraid of hard work." Hua Xiongmao stood up. As the first person in the army, Hua Xiongmao was very happy to be able to fight the war to the fullest. The party members of the army all sat on Hua Xiongmao's side, and when they saw Hua Xiongmao standing up, Chai Qingguo immediately stood up. "Break the fence and hit the big households. I'm willing to take the lead. Following Chen Ke for so long, Chai Qingguo finally waited for a large-scale operation. Although it was not the cavalry battle he was used to, Chai Qingguo was still high-spirited.

Looking at the enthusiastic army cadres, the other comrades also had nothing to say.

"Let's talk about my plan." Chen Ke said while the iron was hot.

In the history of the People's Party, the meeting held between September 7 and September 9, 1906 is referred to as the "Yuezhangji Conference". This was an event of great significance, and at this meeting, the People's Party formally agreed for the first time within the party on the program of "liberating the whole of China through armed struggle." Because the BJP paid special attention to the preservation and management of materials, the materials of the meeting were very rich, and after the declassification of the conference materials, historical researchers were able to get a glimpse of the content of the meeting at that time.

Scholars of party history can easily find that although the line of military struggle was established at this meeting, there were not many military parts. On the other hand, education and training to establish the people's revolutionary stance occupy a great deal of space. In the rich minutes of the meeting, the researchers saw that those famous predecessors did not have a high revolutionary consciousness in the early days of joining the People's Party.

To put it mildly, most of the early party members hoped to achieve their own life values through the revolution. To put it mildly, everyone hopes to gain status and prestige by joining the revolution and winning the revolution.

As the leader of the People's Party, Chen Ke completely grasped the mentality of everyone, and he emphasized the "people's revolution". The People's Party is the vanguard of the revolution and wants to create a tomorrow for the Chinese working people. It is necessary to serve the working people. The people are the masters of the country, and the People's Party is the public servant of the people, not the lord of the people.

As for the insurance regiment of the armed forces of the revolution, first of all, this is not an old-style army in the traditional sense, but a new-style army. The party is the leader of the army. And the insurance regiment is the people's soldiers. At this "Yue-Zhangji Conference," Chen Ke proposed that the insurance regiment be renamed the "Chinese Revolutionary Army." This proposal was unanimously agreed by the comrades attending the meeting.

The meeting discussed Chen Ke's plan in detail, subdividing it. In the first stage, the first step is to investigate the situation of the victims. In addition, we will organize these victims as soon as possible to clear the land in the vicinity and restore agricultural production. At the same time, reconnaissance units were sent to conduct a comprehensive survey of the surrounding area.

In the second stage, it is necessary to rapidly expand the areas where production has resumed. Unite the local population and fight against stubborn opponents.

In the third stage, preparations will be made for the liberation of Fengyang Mansion next year. And it penetrates into the Huainan Plain to the greatest extent.

The "Yuezhangji Meeting" lasted only three days, but the meeting determined the plan of action of the People's Party for the next six months. Therefore, it is generally regarded as the beginning of the formal revolution of the People's Party. Although the formal revolution has not yet been carried out, the spark of revolution has already burned in Anhui in 1906.
