The 166th Mass Movement and the Japanese Revolutionary

In a dilapidated opera garden in Beijing, a sign for a charity performance is hanging outside, as if it is why the "Tianjin Workers' Association" is raising funds. Before the official start of the play, several young men and women in student uniforms were standing on the stage, holding a trumpet rolled up with foreign iron sheets in their hands, and were giving speeches! The audience was noisy, drowning out the sound of speeches on stage.

Handkerchiefs and boards flew over people's heads, hawkers were selling huā raw fruits or something, and some of the "police" inspectors and infantry soldiers in Beijing were also holding their arms and watching the speeches of the students on the stage with great interest, as if they had no intention of suppressing them - they probably came to see the white opera, right?

In a box on the second floor of the opera garden, two men wearing top hats and silk robes are sitting on both sides of a table, leisurely crossing Erlang's legs, holding a cup of tea in their hands, and exchanging words from time to time.

"Comrade Zuo Min, the development of our party in Beijing and Tianjin is very good at present, and the anti-imperialist patriotic enthusiasm of the people in Beijing and Tianjin is also very high during this period. But there are some deficiencies in this funding, right??"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a mustache and a low hat, and it was Comrade Li Dazhao, the deputy chairman of the GCD Preparatory Committee of China. He did not stay in Fujian with Chen Duxiu, but returned to Beijing to continue to develop the party's organization. During this period, stimulated by events such as the October Revolution in Russia, the Sino-Russian New Testament, and the anti-imperialist terrorist activities of the Red Brigades, the development of the Party can be described as very good. Moreover, the anti-imperialist patriotic enthusiasm of the people in the Beijing-Tianjin region has also been inspired, and it seems that there is some intention to advance the May Fourth Movement

And the one who talked to Comrade Li Dazhao was our Changda warlord! This big warlord and terrorist guy was also taken aback by the current development of the mass movement in the Beijing-Tianjin area. Although the kind of "terrorist attack" carried out by the Red Brigade can easily remind the elderly people of the uprising and the regiment, it is quite to the taste of young people, and even the middle school students and workers' organizations with some similarities to the ideas of the Red Brigade have rapidly swelled.

"A general strike?" Chang Ruiqing frowned: "You have to wait for two more days, and you will wait until I get on the steamer to the south." ”

"Yes. Know. Li Dazhao smiled and waved his hand: "It will take some time to organize and prepare for the strike, mainly because of the lack of funds, and it is still not enough to rely on fundraising." I wonder if the Red Brigade can support us a little more? ”

Chang Ruiqing glanced at Li Da Ge's family with an excited expression, and smiled slightly bitterly: "Mr. Li, I can think of a way to deal with the funding." It's just that you can't be active like this anymore, I'll still build yì you go to Fujian, which is my territory, and it is absolutely safe. ”

Of course, he didn't really care about Li Dazhao's life or death, but he was afraid that this great professor would let the "reactionaries" arrest him and torture him and confess to himself, a comrade of the left people! He thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, how many people in the party organizations in Beijing and Tianjin now know that I am Zuomin?" ”

Li Dazhao was stunned for a moment, he already knew what the other party meant, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Just me." No one else knows. ”

Chang Ruiqing sighed lightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, let's be honest with you, I am going to set off a larger-scale anti-imperialist patriotic movement after I return to Fujian this time!" The movement of the masses should play a greater role in the anti-imperialist and patriotic movement in Fujian, so you need to go south to preside over the work. ”

"Oh?" Li Dazhao showed a curious look on his face: "Yao is like a brother." You are the military superintendent of Fujian, and you have three divisions under your command, so you just need to give an order against the imperialists, so why do you still have to rely on the movement of the masses? ”

Chang Ruiqing sighed: "Mr. Li, imperialism is strong after all, so the anti-imperialist struggle cannot rely solely on the raids of the Red Brigade. We should not rely only on me, a feudal warlord, but should concentrate the forces of all quarters to work together, and I want the masses to play the leading role in the anti-imperialist patriotic struggle in Fujian. ”

Li Dazhao nodded, and then asked: "Then what is the goal of the anti-imperialist movement in Fujian?" ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled: "It is to take back the Fujian Customs and the British Concession in Xiamen." ”

Li Dazhao's expression was solemn: "Yaoru, are you overestimating the power of the masses' movement?" I don't know how the masses mobilized in Fujian, but as far as the situation in Beijing and Tianjin is concerned, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the mass movement to recover the Tianjin Concession and the Tianjin Customs. ”

Chang Ruiqing's face showed a confident expression: "I can't say how the masses in Fujian have mobilized, but I can organize hundreds of thousands of peasants in a short period of time!" Mr. Li, don't forget that Fujian is now my territory, and I have already built political power into every village in Fujian! ”

Li Dazhao frowned and asked rhetorically, "But the peasants in Fujian are willing to obey your orders?" ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled: "I have a gun, I have a money bag, and I have minions in more than a thousand towns and villages in Fujian!" As long as you give an order, let each township send 100 people, that is, Mr. Li, more than 100,000 people, and these people will be handed over to your command, and you will select a group of capable cadres from among the comrades in Beijing and Tianjin to go south with you, and then you will come forward to lead the mass movement to recover the concessions and customs. ”

"By us? Why not you and Mr. Chen? Li Dazhao asked rhetorically.

Chang Ruiqing smiled and said: "Mr. Chen and I are now both officials of the government of the Chinese country, it is inconvenient to make this head, otherwise it will not end well afterwards, my current position and strength are the capital of the revolution!"

By the way, Mr. Li, we must be 'courteous, well-founded, and responsible) in this struggle, and I will ask the Party and the Kuomintang to invite British and American barristers from Shanghai to serve as legal advisers for the protests, and there will also be reporters from major European and American newspapers to report on the protests. ”

Li Dazhao asked lightly: "What's the point of doing this?" Do you still expect those imperialist lawyers and journalists to help us speak? ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled: "The object of our struggle this time is only the United Kingdom, Mr. Li. Don't think that those Eastern and Western powers are really monolithic! Besides, even British journalists and lawyers don't necessarily speak for their government. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice again: "Mr. Li, compared to their British Empire, we are at a disadvantage after all, so we must dress ourselves up as a victim, and make the Western media and people realize that the violent activities of the Red Brigade in China are the inevitable result of their government's excessive oppression of the people of China!" ”

Li Dazhao said coldly: "Yaoru." What exactly do you want to do? ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled deeply: "Of course I want to save the country and save the people." It's just that such a great cause will inevitably have sacrifices and bloodshed! And only the bloody sacrifice of some people can arouse more people to participate in this great cause! So a certain sacrifice is necessary! Mr. Lee, I think you can understand what I mean, right? ”

"So you want the people to sacrifice. And then go and pick the fruits of victory yourself? Li Dazhao asked with a sneer.

Chang Ruiqing shrugged his shoulders and said solemnly: "That's right! Mr. Li, you want to sacrifice yourself. Let someone else pick the fruit? ”

There was silence in the box, and the two of them looked at each other, both frowning, as if they were thinking about something, and even the excerpts that had been performed on the stage not far away did not seem to affect their thoughts.

Li Dazhao kept his face flat for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Yes! Yaoru, your idea makes a lot of sense! We want to save China, so we can't sacrifice ourselves lightly, if we all sacrifice, there will be no one to save China. From now on, I will be openly active as the leader of China and G, and I will be responsible for leading the masses of the people in the struggle against imperialism and feudal warlords! As for what kind of struggle method we want, we will discuss it, we must not blindly sacrifice, we must make the sacrifice of our comrades worthwhile! Yaoru. Don't you say? ”

Chang Ruiqing slapped his face and laughed: "It's really good that Mr. Li can understand these truths!" In this way, we will set off on December 6th, first go to Shanghai to meet a friend of Japan, and then go back to Fujian. ”

"Friends? Who is it? ”

"It is a revolutionary, a revolutionist who is inclined to socialism. In addition, there may be some friends who want to meet each other! ”

Shanghai, Hongkou Japanese Overseas Chinese Gathering Area.

In a residential area where slums gather, there is a very ordinary Shikumen dwelling. The first and second floors have been rented to the employees of the "Nichimoto Foreign Company" who came to Shanghai to work, and these people are all workaholics who work from roosters to ghosts, so the doors and windows of this house are always closed, as if no one lives in it. The streets are bustling with people. But no one could have imagined that in the pavilion on the third floor of this seemingly vacant house, some characters had been talking secretly all night.

"Our comrades have just sent back news from Russia that the Russian Bolshevik Military Council yesterday issued the Resolution on the Establishment of the Suppression Committee, proposed by Dzerzhinsky, which, according to the information we have, will be a very powerful secret service for the Bolsheviks to rectify their political enemies!

The full name of this anti-anti-revolution committee is the All-Russian Committee for the Elimination of Anti-Revolution and Sabotage! The anti-revolutionary forces refer to the Russians who oppose the Soviets and the Bolsheviks, while sabotage refers to the actions of those who do not work in the service of the Soviets, which are used to eliminate the 'anti-revolutionary forces' in the Russian working class.

The Bolsheviks, on the one hand, were organizing the so-called elections to the Constituent Assembly, and on the other hand, they were forming and expanding the Red Army and establishing secret services! I'm afraid that their kind of Sima Zhao heart is known to passers-by, Mr. North, the Russian Civil War is just around the corner! ”

It was Wang Yaqiao who said this, who is now the chairman of the Chinese Workers' Federation in Shanghai and the head of the Shanghai GCD Committee, which can be regarded as officially becoming a GC fighter. But when he spoke of the series of policies of the Red Terror pursued by the great teacher Lenin, his face was full of contempt. It seems that he still cannot understand the greatness of Leninism

The one who was sitting and listening to him was the master here, who had close contacts with Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren and other predecessors of the revolution of the country, and also had some connections in the country of Japan.

Listening to Wang Yaqiao's introduction, Bei Yihui's face became colder and colder. Speaking of this person, he is also famous in the history of another time and space, and his name is always associated with fascism. It made him look like the Hitler of Japan.

Actually! Well, there seems to be some truth to it, but this theoretician of fascism was actually a socialist in the early days, and the reason why this is the case involves some sources of fascism and socialism! In fact, these two isms are very close in some respects, and even many of the early fascist leaders were figures from the original European Socialist Party! There is really only a veil between the far left and the far right

At this time, Kita Yihui had not yet turned to the extreme right, and the "Outline of the Reform Act", which was considered to be the "Japanese" fascist Bible, had just begun to be written. Is it full of good feelings for China? Friendly?

This devil is really interesting. According to his idea, the direction of Japan's expansion should not be China, but should form a military alliance with China. Expand into the territory of Asia occupied by the Europeans! And the way to realize the Sino-Japanese alliance is to overthrow the current "Japan" political system!

At the beginning, he also had a favorable impression of the Russian Revolution, believing that it was an important turning point in the world. In short, the thoughts of this revolutionist are very confused, and it is probably for this reason that Bei Yihui is now a close friend with Wang Yaqiao, the revolutionist of the same confused country, and during this time, he often gathers to study the Russian revolution, as well as the Sino-Japanese revolution and the Sino-Japanese military alliance!

After listening to Wang Yaqiao's introduction, Bei Yihui was silent for a long time, and finally muttered: "Lenin's skills are superb, but his actions are too despicable!" And the Russian Bolsheviks who could be in the company of them must have been mostly such despicable people who did not use the means to achieve their ends, and these Bolsheviks could not be trusted. Brother Jiuguang, you must be more careful with them now, so as not to be used and controlled by them! ”

Wang Yaqiao sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "Mr. North, Lenin and the Bolsheviks are indeed despicable. But I think they will be the final winners of this Russian Revolution! Their despicable, insidious and unscrupulous means are the most powerful treasures for them to defeat the enemy! At any time, a gentleman can't fight a villain, not to mention that they are hypocrites who are a little more powerful than villains! ”

Bei Yihui was silent for a long time, and nodded heavily: "It makes sense, throughout the country's revolution, people with lofty ideals throw their heads and spill their blood, but in the end, they are sitting on the hypocrites and enjoying their success!" The same is true of the Meiji Restoration of Japan. The same is true of the Xinhai Revolution of China, and it seems that the result of Russia's Revolution is nothing more than that! It's really a pity, but why do you guys still mingle with these hypocrites, do you want to rely on their support to seize power? ”

Wang Yaqiao smiled and waved his hand: "The Bolsheviks will be busy defending their nascent Revolutionary regime for a long time to come, where will they have the extra financial and material resources to help us?" Even if they have spare strength, they will definitely use Europe as the main direction of their export. Saying that, he smiled deeply, lowered his voice, and said: "Actually, our Comrade Zuomin arranged this way precisely to promote the union between China and Japan!" ”

Hearing this, Bei Yihui's eyebrows raised slightly: "What do you say?" ”

Wang Yaqiao smiled and said: "The Bolshevik Party in Russia has bad relations with the British, American, and French powers!" Once they carry out the Red Terror in Russia and suppress the election-winning Social Revolution and the Mensheviks, Britain, the United States, France and other countries will certainly not turn a blind eye, even if they suppress the Social Revolution and the Mensheviks, as well as the royalists, they will not be willing to lose, and these forces will definitely join forces to jointly oppose the dictatorship of the Bolsheviks, and the Russian Civil War will inevitably break out! Isn't this the perfect time for your country to shift the direction of your expansion from China to Russia? As long as the direction of your country's expansion changes, how can China not be willing to be friendly with Japan? And if China and Japan can form an alliance, why can't we expel the European powers and restore all of Asia? ”

Bei Yihui hesitated for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that China and Japan jointly send troops to interfere with Russia's revolution?" ”

Wang Yaqiao waved his hand and said solemnly: "On the contrary, it is to unite China and Japan to conclude an alliance with the Bolsheviks!" ”

"What?" Bei Yihui stood up suddenly, stared at Wang Yaqiao with his eyes, and said coldly: "Is Brother Jiuguang making fun of me?" ”

Wang Yaqiao took a deep breath and said loudly: "Mr. North! Don't you understand what that means? The Bolsheviks, who seized power by intrigue and intrigues, made too many enemies at home and abroad, and were bound to fall into internal and external troubles! If we can start negotiations on an alliance with the Bolsheviks at this time, we will certainly get a lot of benefits from them, and if the shape is unfavorable to the Bolsheviks, they will most likely choose to cede land in order to preserve their political power and fight their political enemies!

All these lands from Russia belong to Japan! The country does not take an inch of land! ”

Bei Yihui took a deep breath, his eyes were full of surprise: "Brother Jiuguang, whose meaning do your words represent?" Did your Mr. Zuo Min already reach some tacit agreement with Lenin in Russia? ”

Wang Yaqiao nodded heavily: "Exactly!" Now it depends on whether Mr. North can contact your friends in Japan and promote the government to accept this plan! ”

Bei Yihui frowned, and did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "But what about the government of China?" ”

Wang Yaqiao smiled and said in a low voice: "Fujian warlord Chang Yaoru is my brother, he has an extraordinary relationship with Duan Qirui's henchman Xu Shuzheng, and the Beiyang government is now oppressed by the western powers in the north, if the Japanese are willing to ally with them at this time, of course they can't ask for it!"
