Chapter 737 Keeping People Under the Gun

Liu Yimin could not see the letters and drafts from readers published on the "Wen Wei Po" military forum for the time being, because the "Wen Wei Po" was far away in Chongqing and could not be delivered to northeastern Anhui for a while. However, Liu Yimin doesn't need to look to know that as long as the fire is burned, China is so big, there are so many talented people, and I am afraid that no one will add firewood? Wait, the pot will be boiled.

This matter has just been completed, and another major event has touched Liu Yimin's nerves.

In February last year, the Central Committee issued a 'Decision on Expanding the Campaign to Eradicate the Bandit Han Jiān' and began the 'Suppression' Campaign. Liu Yimin knew about this, but he thought that it was a reaction to the struggle between Stalin and Trotsky in the Soviet Union in China, and that it was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Comintern. With the wisdom of the current central leadership, it is only a response to Stalin and the Soviet Union, and it is impossible to create many unjust, false and wrongful convictions as in history. After the reorganization of the troops in the central Hebei region and the talks with the leaders of the central Hebei region, there should no longer be a basis for the suppression of the base areas in the central Hebei region. In addition, the heavy combat tasks of our army in Shandong, Liu Yimin did not pay too much attention to this matter, anyway, the Shandong Bureau and the instructors and troops did not do anything to suppress it.

When the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee liquidated Zhang Guotao's mistake of carrying out the expansion of the purge and rebellion in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region and the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area, Wang Ming and Kang Sheng were criticized by the meeting because they attacked Liu Yimin during the discussion of the Xiǎo group, and Kang Sheng was also transferred to the vice president of the Party School and no longer served as the head of the Ministry of Social Affairs, and Liu Yimin did not take Su Tuo seriously.

This is also because Liu Yimin is young and does not have rich experience in political struggle. Some things in the world can be changed slightly to make them more on track, and some things are not necessarily.

Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong sent a telegram to Liu Yimin, reporting that when Cangxian was captured, our army in Jizhong failed to cooperate in time. It is understood that the central Hebei region is engaged in suppression. Please ask Liu Yimin whether to stop the suppression of the central Hebei District in the name of Liu and Luo.

Immediately afterwards, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong sent a telegram from Meng Qingshan, political commissar of the Jizhong Military Region, saying that the Jizhong military region was extremely strict in its suppression, and that it had adopted the method of mobilizing the army to expose each other, and that the Trotskyists were involved in the troops, and that Duan Shizeng, Yang Wanlin, and Cui Shukai were to be shot. Please Liu Yimin must try to save these three people.

These three people turned out to be the division commander, chief of staff, and regiment commander of the Second Division of the Hebei Guerrilla Army, and Liu Yimin had met them all when he was in Nangong, and when the Jizhong troops were reorganized, Duan Shizeng's post was specially arranged, and Meng Qingshan was also adjusted from the deputy commander of the Jizhong Military Region in the original plan to the political commissar. Jizhong can be suppressed, but what about other places?

In the era in which Liu Yimin originally lived, after summing up the lessons and lessons of socialist construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China, political life tended to be normal, and correct conclusions were reached on many historical issues. Like Stalin and Trotsky, after scouring away the dust of history, people have a more objective and fair understanding of them. The same is true of the Trotskyist question, which is, at best, a left-wing wing wing of the international movement. Until Liu Yimin's crossing, the Fourth International, founded by Trotsky, was still holding its World Congress in Belgium, and the powerful Soviet Union had long since disappeared with the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

But this time was different, because Trotsky lost his political struggle with Stalin, went into exile, and was sentenced to death in absentia by the Soviet Union three times, Trotsky's ideas were branded Trotskyism and became synonymous with reaction.

As a result of Trotsky and his ideas, there was a proper noun "Trotskyist", which was the abbreviation of Trotskyist in the Soviet Union. There were also Trotskyists in China, and they were also the product of the struggle for power between Stalin and Trotsky, whose roots lay in how to guide the Chinese revolution. In December 1928, a number of ** party members who had been expelled from China for supporting Trotsky while studying in the Soviet Union established the first Trotskyist organization in Shanghai, the "Chinese Bolshevik-Leninist Opposition", elected the central organ, the "National Director-General's Association", and published the magazine "Our Words", which was the first Trotskyist organization in China. Subsequently, three Trotskyist organizations were established one after another. On May 1, 1931, at the call of Chen Duxiu, four Trotskyist organizations held a reunification conference in Shanghai and established the unified Trotskyist Central Committee, with Chen Duxiu as general secretary. Later, on October 15, 1932, Chen Duxiu was betrayed by Trotskyist traitors and captured by Kuomintang agents. After his release from prison on August 23, 1937, he publicly declared: "I do not represent anyone, I no longer belong to any party. In this way, he dissociated himself from the Trotskyists. Without the influence of the "old man" Chen Duxiu, the "Chinese Trotskyists" were in a situation of collapse and dispersion, with some people dying in prison, some defecting to the Kuomintang secret services, and some living in exile in order to survive, and only a very small number of members still struggling to carry out the Trotskyist cause.

When Wang Ming and Kang Sheng returned from the Soviet Union, it was the final stage of Stalin's purge in the name of anti-Trotskyism. Wang Ming and Kang Sheng, who were deeply influenced by Stalin's suppression, as soon as they returned to China, concocted the theory of suppression and organized and led the work of suppression in accordance with the "Resolution on the Struggle against Fascism and Trotskyites" made by the Comintern.

At this time, Chen Duxiu had been released from prison, his thinking had changed, and he went to the Wuhan Office of the Eighth Route Army twice to see Ye Jianying and Bogu, and proposed to cooperate with ** to resist Japan.

When Wang Ming heard that he wanted to cooperate with Chen Duxiu, he said at a Politburo meeting that we can cooperate with anyone, with the exception of the Trotskyists. Internationally, we can work with bourgeois politicians, warlords and even executioners, but not with Trotsky's followers. In China, we can cooperate with Chiang Kai-shek and his subordinate spies, but we cannot cooperate with Chen Duxiu, and falsely accuse "Chen Duxiu of being a Japanese spy with a monthly allowance of 300 yuan." Even if Chen Duxiu is not a Japanese spy, he should be said to be a Japanese spy.

Wang Ming's argument was, in principle, a copy of the Soviet Union's policy toward the Trotskyists, and there was a reason for saying that Chen Duxiu was a Japanese spy who received a monthly allowance of 300 yuan. The main reason is that after the establishment of the Trotskyists, they opposed the dictatorship of the Kuomintang and opposed the ideas of **, and their views were extremely left, which could easily be tolerated by both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Chen Zhongshan, a member of the Central Committee of the Trotskyists, sent a letter to Lu Xun and mailed propaganda materials. At this time, Lu Xun was seriously ill and could not reply to the letter, so Lu Xun dictated and Feng Xuefeng ghostwrote "Letter to the Trotskyists", which was published simultaneously in Shanghai's "Literary Journal" and "Realistic Literature". In this letter, there is a rebuke of the Trotskyists: "Your superb theories are welcomed in Japan...... In front of the public, if someone makes a rumor attacking you, saying that the Japanese paid you to run a newspaper, can you clear it away? ”

Lu Xun's letter was originally the usual penmanship among the left-wing literati at that time, just like someone said that Lu Xun received rubles, and he just scolded it. However, some people took advantage of this, and at that time, during the period of high anti-Trotskyism in the Soviet Union, the first page of the National Salvation Times, with its editorial office in Moscow and its printing house and distribution office in Paris, published a long report signed by Wu Ping, entitled "We must strictly prevent the Japanese invaders from sabotaging the movement of our people's unity and national salvation, please see the true face of the Japanese invaders." In order to strengthen the political tension and news orientation of this report, the newspaper also distributed an editorial entitled "The Trotskyites Who Are Willing to Be Japanese Invaders" on the front page, describing Chen Duxiu and the Trotskyists as Japanese Invaders in the international community.

Wang Ming came back from Moscow, and he said that Chen Duxiu was a Han and that it was from here that he came.

Kang Sheng's biggest specialty is to follow the leader closely. He came back from the Soviet Union with Wang Ming, and Wang Ming regarded himself as a representative of the Comintern everywhere. As a result, Kang Sheng wrote an article entitled "Eradicating the lackeys of Japanese imperialism -- the Trotsky bandits." The article said: "In 1931, after the 'September 18' incident, Japanese imperialism occupied our three eastern provinces, and at the same time, the Japanese detective agency in Shanghai, through the introduction of the pro-Japanese faction Tang Youren, conducted joint negotiations with the 'Central Committee of Bandits and Bandits' organized by Chen Duxiu, Peng Shuzhi, and Luo Han. At that time, Tang Youren represented the Japanese detective agency, and Chen Duxiu and Luo Han represented the organization of the bandits. The result of the negotiations was that the Trotsky bandits 'did not hinder Japan's aggression against China,' and that the allowance given by Japan to Chen Duxiu's 'Central Committee of Trotsky' was 300 yuan a month, which was to be increased when it became effective. This traitorous negotiation was confirmed, and the Japanese allowance was received by Luo Han, the head of the organization of Chen Duxiu's 'Central Committee of Trotsky', so the Chinese trotsky bandit and Trotsky bandit leaders, under the guidance of the Japanese invaders, played different roles in various aspects, and sang loudly about their duet play of helping Japan invade China. ”

Kang Sheng openly framed Chen Duxiu, the most important founder of China's ** and the current leader of Chinese Trotskyism, as a Han jiān.

After the article was published, the impact was very bad. The reason is that Chen Duxiu had just come out of the Kuomintang prison at this time, and although he had made mistakes in the history of the party, it did not mean that his character was problematic. As soon as Kang Sheng's article was published in the magazine "Liberation", many democratic parties and people without party affiliation believed that he was the jīng god of the Central Committee, and they published articles one after another, demanding that Chen Duxiu was Han Jiān. Kang Sheng himself is a man of his own guts, where will there be any evidence? But it's so strange that it really forms a strange argument that Trotskyism is Han jiān.

Liu Yimin knew these things before he crossed, and they could be searched for with a single click on Baidu. Some things are the results of the study of party history, and they can also be seen in academic journals and on the Internet. Framing Chen Duxiu is a problem of Han Jiān, which is the result of research after the political environment has stabilized.

Since Kang Sheng was deceived by Wang Ming and took a wrong step at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee, his status in the party has greatly declined. Who is Kang Sheng? How could he be willing?

The opportunity Kang Sheng had been waiting for had come.

In September last year, the Trotskyists convened an international congress in France, founded the Fourth International, and proclaimed the establishment of a world socialist revolutionary party. This news reached China very late, after the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee. In addition, when the Eighth Route Army was fighting in Shanxi, it seized a document from the Japanese secret service, which said that it was to cooperate with other forces in China to jointly deal with the Nationalist Government and the Eighth Route Army.

After Kang Sheng obtained this information, he took the erhu and meditated on the melody of the music, and then at the Central Party School, he talked about the dangers of Trotskyism, the importance of the suppression, the requirements of the Comintern for the development of the suppression movement, and the arrangements for the suppression movement in the political report of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee.

The Trotskyists were most peculiarly about discussing the revolutionary question in a more democratic atmosphere, and it was precisely because they placed too much emphasis on democracy that it led to internal divisions. In peacetime, it is normal to demand intra-party democracy. However, this is a time of war, and only when the whole party is unified in thinking and pace can we win the war. ** The leadership of the Central Committee and the leadership of the Eighth Route Army were not interested in the Trotskyists, because the Trotskyists had been attacking our Party's policy of pursuing a united front. In this way, the suppression movement instigated by Kang Sheng was carried out again in some places.

Liu Yimin's greatest wish since his crossing was to follow the party to defeat the Japanese invaders and establish New China as soon as possible. In order to reduce the loss of internal friction, there is no less work. But now when I look at the telegrams of Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong, I know that the war years were too cruel, and in order to maintain the purity of the ranks, some political movements could not avoid it. Coupled with the fact that someone has a heart to pick it up, things are even more complicated.

With Liu Yimin's xìng style, he naturally won't sit idly by, but everything has to be skillful. Historically, the Sutuo in Jizhong was finally stopped by Mr. He, but now due to the heavy sweep of the Japanese army in Jizhong, the 120th Division has not yet arrived in Jizhong, and they are developing northward with all their might. It seems that Liu Yimin must also take action to stop Jizhong Sutuo.

Liu Yimin, in the name of the Shandong Bureau, the Shandong Military Region, and the head of the instructors, immediately sent a report to the Central Hebei District Party Committee and the Centralized Military Region, and in the name of the central authorities authorizing him to take unified command of our army in Shandong, Central Hebei, and southern Hebei at a critical time, he ordered Jizhong to immediately stop the campaign and release all the arrested personnel, instructed Meng Qingshan, political commissar of the Central Hebei Military Region, and Lv Zhengcào, commander of the Central Hebei Military Region, to protect Duan Shizeng, Yang Wanlin, and Cui Shukai, and ordered them to organize and mobilize the personnel to inspect the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Northern Bureau. Cai Zhong was ordered to inspect the work of Jizhong on behalf of the Shandong Bureau, the Shandong Military Region, and the instructors, and instructed Meng Qingshan, political commissar of the Jizhong Military Region, and Lu Zheng, commander of the Jizhong Military Region, to protect Cai Zhong's safety.

After sending the telegram, Liu Yimin sent another secret telegram to the chairman, vice chairman Zhou, and Mr. Zhu, reporting that Sutuo was a product of the struggle within the party in the Soviet Union, and that there were historical commentaries on who was right and who was wrong on both sides of the struggle. It is obvious that, through the purging of the Soviet Party, while unifying its thinking, it purged a large number of key cadres, including Zinoviev, the first executive secretary of the Comintern, with heavy losses. This bitter fruit will soon be revealed, and it will be manifested in the sharp decline in combat effectiveness after the purge of the Soviet Red Army. After all, Trotsky was one of the important founders of the Soviet Party, the state, and the army, and the disputes within the Party could have been resolved by a more moderate approach. Just like we did to Zhang Guotao. The exile of Trotsky, and the death sentence in absentia three times, as he is now, can only make the remnants of White Russia laugh at it. Our party is a Marxist political party in China, and its relationship with the CPSU is a fraternal party, and it is better not to suggest, speak, or participate in the struggle within the CPSU. As for the Trotskyists in China, the backbone was those who were sent by our party to study in the Soviet Union and were influenced by Trotsky. This part of the people should be said to be dissident revolutionaries in the ** camp, it is okay to say that they disregard the overall situation, it is okay to say that their views are extreme, and it is okay to say that they are too idealistic and naïve, but they cannot be slandered as Han jiān. Most of these people were literati revolutionaries, and the backbone personnel were iron-clad, and their lives were extremely difficult, so they could have anything to do with the Japanese. This matter can be investigated by Feng Xuefeng and the editor of the "National Salvation Times". Chen Duxiu is the leader of the first to the fifth congress of our party, and one of the most important founders of our party. Although he was expelled from the party, and although there was a gap between his ideas and our party's current line, the whole society recognized Chen Duxiu as the founder of our party, and Chen Duxiu also advocated resisting Japan. His two sons, Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian, are both famous martyrs of our party. Under the Nine Springs of the martyrs, how would they feel if they knew that their old father had been defiled as a Han jiān? How do the Chinese people evaluate our party? It is said that Chen Duxiu is a Han jiān, where is the evidence? It is suggested that the central government investigate and find Feng Xuefeng to find out the origin of the "Letter to the Trotskyists" published by him in the name of Mr. Lu Xun, to find Lu Xun's wife Xu Guangping, to find out the letters from Chen Zhongshan to Lu Xun before and after, and to find the editor of the "National Salvation Times" to find out who it is and on what evidence it is to say that Chen Duxiu is a Han jiān. This question is not difficult to investigate.

Liu Yimin also reported in the telegram that Jizhong Sutuo wanted to shoot Duan Shizeng, Yang Wanlin, and Cui Shukai, and reported his own disposition. He also said that after Cai Zhong went to Jizhong to understand clearly, he would report to the central authorities in detail.

Considering that the Central Hebei Party Committee was under the leadership of the Northern Bureau, and that the Centralized Military Region was under the leadership of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Liu Yimin sincerely checked with the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, and Mr. Zhu, saying that it would not grow if the head had fallen, and that he should be in a hurry to follow his powers, and asked the leaders to criticize the mistake of exceeding their authority.

Liu Yimin didn't know that at this time, Jizhong Sutuo had reached the point of madness.

After Meng Qingshan sent a telegram to Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong, he was anxious like a pins and needles, looking forward to Liu Yimin's call.

During this time, Jizhong came to the Sutuo Guidance Group to lead Jizhong Sutuo. Our army in Jizhong has to fight the Japanese army again, and it has to be suppressed, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger.

Meng Qingshan did not know what Trotskyism was, and few people in the party, government, and military in the whole of Hebei could explain it clearly. Things in the world are so wonderful, and the more things that most people can't tell, the more mysterious and uncatchable they are, and they can only be carried out according to the instructions of the Sutuo Guidance Group.

After all, Meng Qingshan went to the Red Army University and had seen the horror of the Soviet rebellion. Therefore, seeing that many people were inexplicably caught and killed, he immediately realized that something was wrong and raised objections. However, the comrades of the anti-rebellion guidance group told him that he was a veteran Red Army cadre and that he should be consistent with the Central Committee. The central government should let the suke be sued, otherwise the consequences must be considered.
