The Kuomintang army can never be called a revolutionary army, whether in this time and space or in another time and space, there is only one real revolutionary army in China, and that is the revolutionary army under the leadership of GCD. At present, the name of this army is the Northwest New Army for the time being, and it will be renamed the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army at an appropriate time in the future.

The Northwest New Army is a new revolutionary army completely different from the Kuomintang army in the south, an army armed with Marxist ideas and led by the Chinese GCD. As for the difference between them and the Kuomintang army? Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo in Guangzhou were completely unthinkable. It is said that in this army, except for a few high-ranking officers sent by the Kuomintang, most of the GCD revolutionary officers lived a simple life, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, and they were telling the soldiers around them with their practical actions that only GCD people really did not want officials, money, and wholeheartedly worked for the revolution. However, is this a revolutionary army?

Mao ZD came to Yan'an in early February 1924, and before him, Deng Yanda, commander of the Northwest New Army, division commanders Ye Ting, He L, Peng Deh, chief of staff Liu Bcheng, deputy chief of staff Ye Jying, director of the Political Department Zhou Elai, and director of the logistics department Qu Ming had already arrived. General Yang Huchen's enthusiasm for the Northwest New Army was also very high, and although he himself regretted not becoming a member of it, he still gave the greatest convenience and assistance in recruiting new soldiers, building barracks, raising supplies, and transporting weapons and ammunition.

Mao Zd, Cai Hesen, Yang Kaihui, Qu Ying and others who traveled north from Guangdong walked onto the land of northern Shaanxi on the frozen ice of the Yellow River.

"Chairman, that's Comrade Elai, he is here to greet us on behalf of the Northwest New Army." Qu Ming, who was in charge of sending Mao ZD and others into northern Shaanxi, pointed to a young officer who was walking quickly. That person is the famous Zhou Elai, the young Zhou Elai looks dignified and has a particularly bright pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, so that people can remember him firmly at a glance.

"Chairman, on behalf of all the Northwest New Army, I would like to welcome you." Zhou Elai stepped forward and held Mao Zd's hands tightly. "Chairman, we are all looking forward to your coming to northern Shaanxi as soon as possible to guide the work."

The four powerful hands were clasped tightly together, this was the first meeting between the two close comrades-in-arms, and Mao ZD was also very excited to meet this famous leader of the Young Communist Party in Europe. He held Zhou Elai's hand tightly and said: "Elai, our domestic comrades are also looking forward to your comrades who have drunk foreign ink to return and work together as soon as possible!" ”

China's GCD has only been established for more than two years, and the number of party members is not large, and the GCD has not been able to draw enough cadres for a time to build an army of tens of thousands of people like the Northwest New Army. As a result, Zhou Elai and other GCD elites in Europe soon received instructions from the party and returned to China in advance to serve. Also arriving with Zhou Elai were Chen Y, Zhao Syan, Wang Rfei, Chen Yannian, Chen Qiaonian, Li Fchun, Ren Zhuoxuan, Nie Rzhen, Zhu D, Sun Bingwen and others. Among them, Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian are also the sons of GCD leader Chen Duxiu.

"Chairman, please get in the car, let's talk as we go." Zhou Elai pointed to a few carriages not far away and said with a smile: "We only have carriages here, but we don't have cars." ”

"Come, how is the situation in the troops? Is the revolutionary mood high? As soon as he got into the carriage, Mao ZD couldn't wait to know about the situation of the troops.

When Zhou E heard this question, the two thick eyebrows gradually leaned together. "Huzi, come here." Zhou Elai waved his hand to recruit a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man from the guard unit, and asked Mao Zd to learn about the situation of the unit through him. "Chairman, just ask him."

Mao ZD felt bad when he saw Zhou E coming, isn't the revolutionary mood of the army high enough? So he hurriedly asked, "Little ghost, what's your name?" Where? ”

"My name is Li Hu, a native of Guanzhong." The young man is tiger-headed, and it is quite appropriate to call him Li Hu.

Mao ZD nodded and asked, "Do you know what team we are?" ”

"I know, it's Sun Cannon's team." Li Hu's face seemed to be a little proud.

"Oh, then why did you want to be a soldier?" Mao ZD still asked with a smile.

Li Hu smiled and said, "For three ocean dollars." ”

"Anything else?" Mao ZD asked again.

"Fight for Sun Cannon."

"And then?"

"Defeat the country and Sun Cannon to become the emperor, we are the founding heroes, and we will glorify our ancestors!"

"Huh?" Mao ZD was a little crying and laughing, this is the revolutionary army? It seems to be worse than Sun Artillery's army in the south, right? At least they didn't think about Sun Dacang being the emperor or something.

"Alright, you go back to your mission." Zhou Elai sent Li Hu away with a smile, then turned his head and smiled bitterly at Mao Zd: "Most of the soldiers in the army now have this idea, in their minds, the revolution is to earn the ocean to help Sun Yat-sen fight the world, and then they will be rewarded for meritorious service, and it is best to glorify their ancestors." ”

Mao Zd lit a cigarette and took a puff. "E, are these all handed over to them by Kuomintang officers?"

Zhou Elai shook his head and replied, "Not really. Guanzhong's thousand-year-old emperor's house, this kind of thinking is afraid that it doesn't need to be taught. ”

"Didn't our comrades tell them about the revolution? Didn't tell them that we were troops fighting for the poor? There was some reproach in Mao Zd's tone.

"Alas, it's good not to talk about this, as soon as you call them a war for the poor, there are dozens of deserters in your custody that night. When I caught it back, I found out that people were afraid that the poor would not be able to pay military salaries. Zhou Elai was basically helpless against this situation, the principles learned in Europe did not make sense to them, and the domestic set of Confucianism was not used to deal with small soldiers.

Mao Zd gulped down his cigarette and didn't say a word, as if he was in deep thought. He had expected these problems, but he was still helpless when he really encountered them. Mao ZD was not as naïve as some people in the party, who thought that as soon as he explained the truth of the revolution and then set an example, the army would immediately become a revolutionary army, and the army would start a war with a hundred people. If there is really such a cheap thing, the red flag has long been planted all over the world, where is the turn to get Mao ZD?

"After all, we can't give them real benefits!" Mao Zd snuffed out the cigarette butt, sighed softly, and said: "The Chinese peasants are the most practical, and it is difficult for us to impress them with those big principles, and we can't use the same way as the student movement to do military work." ”

Zhou Elai nodded, as if he had a sense of epiphany, which made him admire the local revolution in front of him. I and my comrades held meetings and discussions every day, but they failed to grasp the root of the problem, and always thought that the reason was not thoroughly explained, so the doctrine did not penetrate into the hearts of the people.

"It seems that we still have a long road ahead." Mao Zd glanced at the south. "We now have our own armament, but we don't have our own base. Without a ground, we will not be able to implement our doctrine, everything is empty talk, and even if our cadres perform better, it will still be difficult to really impress them. ”

"How are we going to implement our doctrine?" Zhou E asked puzzled.

"Agrarian Revolution! For thousands of years, Chinese peasants have been thinking about the land! Only by carrying out the agrarian revolution in earnest, confiscating land from the landlords and rich peasants and distributing it to the peasants, can it really impress them! ”

The agrarian revolution is the magic weapon for GCD to truly defeat the Kuomintang, and the strength of GCD is by no means that a certain person uses soldiers like a god, nor is it that a few party members are not afraid of sacrifice, but they really grasp the fundamental problem of Chinese social contradictions--- land! If there is no agrarian revolution, what if the soldiers are really like gods? Are there any soldiers available? Is it like the Kuomintang to spend a lot of money to hire? If there was no agrarian revolution to divide the floating wealth and divide all the land equally, why did those honest poor peasants hand over their surnames to GCD? Why did they go forward to help GCD overthrow the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang? If there is no real benefit, there is no real and visible benefit, what is the use of just saying some big truths? Are Chinese peasants so easy to fool? Sun Yat-sen also talked a lot about the truth, is it useful?

"But what do we do now?" Zhou Elai knew that it was impossible to carry out an agrarian revolution in northern Shaanxi now, and that northern Shaanxi was vast and sparsely populated, and the land contradictions were not too prominent. Yang Huchen loves Sangzi again, and the people of northern Shaanxi have no ill feelings towards him now.

Mao Zd shook his head a little helplessly and said, "Let's take a step and see a step." At present, our first task is to first control the troops, and then we will march north into Suiyuan, and after taking Suiyuan, we will have our own base areas, and it will not be too late to launch an agrarian revolution at that time. Although Suiyuan is also vast and sparsely populated, there is indeed a class contradiction in which the poor and middle herdsmen are exploited by the upper feudal lords, but it also involves ethnic and religious conflicts, which are somewhat complicated.

"It would be nice if we could go east and take Zhili and Yanjing." Zhou Elai added: "There are many big landlords there, and land contradictions are prominent. ”

"E, Yanjing and Zhili are not so easy to enter, and all parties are staring at it."

According to Mao Zd's idea, Shanxi is the key to mastering North China, Shanxi is known as the roof of North China, and the entire North China Plain of Shanxi is at the foot. Moreover, there are many large landlords in Shanxi, which is conducive to carrying out the agrarian revolution, and the terrain of Shanxi is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so taking Shanxi can establish a solid base area. However, both the Central Committee and the Comintern hoped to take Yanjing as soon as possible, thus setting off the Chinese revolution.
