190th Investigation Mission and Military Commission

Peng's bang, the door of Chang Ruiqing's study was slammed open.

Chang Ruiqing, who was discussing with Chen Duxiu, the leader of the Chinese G, whether to join GC International and hand over the Red Army to Russia in exchange for a huge amount of military spending, raised his head sharply and looked in the direction of the door.

The one who crashed into the door was actually Wang Ruonan! These days, Zhao Xianger was sent to the Northeast to pull the pole to make a riot, and Pan Xiaoqian was holding a big belly to protect the fetus at home. Naturally, only Wang Ruonan and Zhen Xiaoru are still in charge of Chang Ruiqing's attendants, and these two women also have a division of labor, and Zhen Xiaoru is mainly responsible for security. And Wang Ruonan is the head of the chamberlain's room, and he also has the errand of a confidential secretary, and his power is great! All the texts sent to Chang Ruiqing here were all sent by her first.

However, although this Mrs. Chang is not very old, she is quite atmospheric in handling things. No matter how strict things are, she always looks calm and calm when she comes here. Otherwise, Chang Ruiqing wouldn't have handed over his attendant room to her to take care of? Seeing her rushing in so angrily really surprised Chang Ruiqing.

He frowned, and immediately asked, "Ruonan, what happened?" Is there something wrong in the Northeast? ”

Wang Ruonan just shook his head, his expression was slightly unhappy, and he took a long time to catch his breath. She came all the way from the telegraph room!

"Yaoru! Beiyang discovered that Zuo Min was Sun Yat-sen! ”

Chang Ruiqing was stunned, and before he could react, Chen Duxiu just smiled, raised his hand and pointed to Chang Ruiqing, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Yaoru, now you don't have to worry about Zuo Min's identity being exposed." Even if the sky falls, Sun Yat-sen will carry the ...... for you."

Wang Ruonan ignored Chen Duxiu, took another breath, and said loudly: "Beijing has sent an urgent telegram, Wang Shizhen, premier of the Beiyang government, visited the envoys of the great powers stationed in Beijing yesterday afternoon and showed them the confessions of several arrested Chinese and G parliamentarians...... These confessions all refer to Sun Yat-sen as Zuo Min, the leader of the Red Brigade, and also say that GCD was manipulated by Sun Yat-sen behind the scenes! ”

Smack. Chen Duxiu slapped the table and stood up: "These guys, it's really nonsense!" When did we become the puppets manipulated by Sun Yat-sen? Why did Zuo Min of the Red Brigade become Sun Yat-sen again? What exactly do they want to do? ”

Chang Ruiqing sat steadily, silent: "What do foreign devils say?" Did they accept the accusations against Mr. Sun from the Beiyang side? ”

Wang Ruonan shook his head. However, there was a little more worry between the eyebrows: "How can foreigners say that there is no telegram, but ...... However, the Beiyang side proposed to set up a joint investigation team with the legation to find out the truth! If Sun Yat-sen is indeed not Zuomin. I want to give him justice......"

At this time, Chang Ruiqing's face was also gloomy, and he reached out to take the copy of the telegram from Wang Ruonan, read it carefully, and sighed: "Beiyang has made a good move this time!" What a move...... Pull the legation to organize an investigation team together, and the foreign devils will definitely not refuse. But how can Mr. Sun and we let people check? This can involve the sovereignty of our China, the legal system of the Protector Military Government, and the prestige of Mr. Sun's leader! But foreigners don't look at it like this, they already don't like Mr. Sun and us, so they don't take this opportunity to attack us? and Tang Jiyao, Lu Rongting and Chen Jiongming will also take the opportunity to coax...... This is a big problem! ”

Chen Duxiu coughed, he pointed to Lenin's telegram on the table and said to Chang Ruiqing: "Yaoru." It looks like we have to accept this huge military expenditure from Soviet Russia! I estimate that no matter how unpleasant the great powers look at us, they will not send troops to attack Fujian and Guangdong at such a time now, at most they will support Beiyang to attack us...... In the end, this matter still depends on the barrel of the gun! These 15 tons of gold can help us win this battle, and maybe even make the Chinese revolution a few years ahead of schedule! ”

Chang Ruiqing frowned bitterly. looked at Chen Duxiu and said: "Chairman, aren't you worried that Soviet Russia will use the Red Army and GC International to interfere with us in the future?" ”

Chen Duxiu sneered: "Yaoru, do you think that the enemy that Lenin is facing is strong?" Or are we facing a strong enemy? ”

Chang Ruiqing was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "I understand." As long as we do our best to win the victory and unify China with Mr. Sun, then we are not afraid that Soviet Russia will interfere with us......"

Chen Duxiu smiled and continued: "If we were before Soviet Russia eliminated the rebel forces. If they have not yet won the decisive victory of the Chinese revolution, then whether our party joins the GC International or not, they will have a way to be this teacher! ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded: "Then this matter is decided?" ”

"You can't be so sloppy!" Chen Duxiu shook his head and looked at Chang Ruiqing with blazing eyes: "Our party has now been officially established, and such a big matter as joining the GC International and accepting aid from Soviet Russia must at least hold a plenary meeting of the Central Committee to discuss...... Moreover, in order to defeat the Beiyang warlords and liberate all of China, we must carry out full cooperation with the Kuomintang side. How the two parties should cooperate should also be the focus of discussion at the plenary session of the CPC Central Committee. ”

Chang Ruiqing thought about it and felt that what Chen Duxiu said was very reasonable, the party's decision-making mechanism could not be determined by Chen Duxiu, the chairman, and himself, the secretary of the Southern Bureau! He smiled and said, "Chairman, just do as you say." But one thing I have to make clear beforehand is that the 15 tons of gold, and the Red Brigade ......."

Chen Duxiu smiled and waved his hand: "No matter what you want to do with those funds and the Red Brigade, I will definitely support it!" It's just that after our party cooperates with the Kuomintang, what kind of position should it occupy? A playful smile appeared on his face as he spoke: "Yaoru, our party's current capital is not small, there is a provincial territory, tens of thousands of troops, and so many funds and red brigades...... Should this military junta be co-run by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party? And on the Kuomintang side, you don't have much foundation! ”

Chang Ruiqing was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and felt that Chen Duxiu's words made sense. Although he straddles two parties, he does not have much influence on the side of the Kuomintang. And here in G, how can he also be the main founder, right? In the future, it will be able to become a reliable backing for yourself in politics, or this GCD!

Come to think of it. He took a deep breath and said to Chen Duxiu, "I know...... I'll get you the prime minister of the Protector Junta! Ministers, we also have half of them. Our capital is so big, these seats should be given to us! ”

……

On May 16, 1918, half a month after the "May Upheaval" that shocked China and the rest of the world. The Beiyang Government and the Beijing Legation issued a joint statement deciding to set up a joint investigation team "including people from all sides" to find out the relationship between the Red Brigade and the Kuomintang and the GCD, and to investigate whether Mr. Sun Yat-sen was Zuo Min, the leader of the Red Brigade wanted by the Beiyang Government for a reward of 3 million yuan!

As soon as this statement came out. The volatility caused by this is unprecedentedly huge, even exceeding the shock caused by the "May upheaval"! This is not surprising. After all, in the eyes of China's youth and ordinary people, Sun Yat-sen, who led the revolution, still has considerable appeal. And the leader of the Red Brigade, Zuo Min, who dared to confront the great powers and spoke out for the Chinese, is also a great hero! And now. According to the accusations of the Beiyang government, these two people are actually the same person, Zuo Min is actually Sun Yat-sen's pseudonym, and the Red Brigade and GCD are also the rebel forces led by Sun Yat-sen!

Although the Kuomintang, the GCD, and the Red Brigade, which saw the dragon without seeing the end of the head, all issued statements denying it at the first time. However, the Beiyang side is also conclusive, citing a lot of so-called evidence and doubts, which makes sense to look at it!

Moreover, the Beiyang government does not seem to have the intention of falsely accusing and framing this time, and has also invited friends from various countries and well-known people in China to participate in the investigation. Premier Wang Shizhen even publicly stated that the government's purpose was only to find out the truth. If the parties do not trust the government, then the central government can withdraw from the mission and turn it into an independent commission independent of the central government.

However, the Protector Military Government and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party still sternly rejected any form of investigation, and in turn accused the Beiyang government of this move to divert domestic attention from the "upheaval in May......

As soon as such a statement came out, the public opinion in the press was almost overwhelmingly that Sun Yat-sen had a ghost in his heart! And the Beiyang government also pretended to be enlightened at this time. Immediately released most of the arrested Zhongg parliamentarians, announced the dismissal of Zhang Jingyao from his own positions, and transferred the 3rd and 7th Divisions of the Beiyang Army out of Hunan, and finally announced in a high-profile manner that he would support Tan Yanhong, who is highly regarded in Hunan, as the overseer and governor, so as to achieve local autonomy in Hunan!

As a result, everyone's attention was diverted from the "May upheaval". And the Beiyang side also struck while the iron was hot. The list of members of the so-called "Independent Investigation Mission" was published. Except for a few big detectives from Scotland Yard in London, almost all of them are Chinese and foreign celebrities who have a good reputation in China. There are bishops and priests of the Catholic Church and the American-Israeli Mission, Mr. Johnson, the American chairman of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Mr. Zhang Jian, a former Qing champion who advocated industrial salvation, Cai Yuanpei, president of Peking University, Yan Fu, the leader of the Confucian Church in China, and even Sun Yat-sen's Japanese friend Miyazaki. They are all figures who hold a neutral position and are even close to Sun Yat-sen.

However, the Protector Military Government and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party still sternly refused to investigate, and their attitude did not relax in the slightest. As a result, all public opinion began to turn to accuse Sun Yat-sen of ignoring the overall situation and ignoring the law. Some public opinion even turned over the old incident of Sun Yat-sen's refusal to pursue the "assassination of Soong Jiaoren" through legal channels, accusing him of always being inclined to use violence to solve problems, and did not think about the common people in the world at all. There is no sincerity in the "autonomy and peaceful reunification of the provinces" this time, and he is advancing the military and political rule step by step in Guangdong!

By late May, Chen Jiongming, who was in Shanghai for peace talks with Liang Qichao, and Tang Jiyao, another giant of the Protector Military Government, the Yunnan Governor, also sent telegrams to Sun Yat-sen, persuading him to "cooperate with the investigation in order to clarify the facts and avoid the loss of peace between the North and the South, the interference of foreign powers, and the destruction of human lives."

However, Sun Yat-sen and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party knew that they were at a loss at all, so they simply came to the point where "silence is golden" and ignored all the telegrams, statements, and accusations from all sides.

……

In the blink of an eye, June 1918 had arrived in the humming of summer cicadas. In the Zhongg Central Station on Cangshan Island, which is separated from Fuzhou City by a river, in the conference room, Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Shao Piaoping, Mao ZD and others are sitting in a staggered manner. The doors and windows of the house were closed, and a few pots of ice cubes were placed in the corners, which dispelled a lot of the heat of early summer. A few of the leaders of the G-G sat upright. Gently shaking the pu fan in his hand, drinking the refreshing Cantonese herbal tea, quite leisurely.

Although Lu Yongxiang in Shanghai and imperialism did not show signs of attacking the Central Headquarters of the Central Committee of the Chinese People's Republic of China. However, for the sake of safety, Chen Duxiu still decided to move the Party Central Committee to Fuzhou. Mao Zd and Li Dazhao rushed to Fuzhou from Jiangxi and Beijing to attend the plenary session of the Central Committee...... This time, the Second Plenary Session of the First Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is extremely important for the future of the party!

And today, several of them are focused on exchanging views precisely for this meeting.

"Comrades, after the Second Plenary Session of the Central Committee. Our party will start all-round cooperation with the Kuomintang! If it is a good thing, it will take two to three years at most, and the Chinese revolution will achieve a complete victory under the cooperation of the two parties! And our party will also join forces with the Kuomintang! ”

Chen Duxiu shook the pu fan as he spoke. While proudly announcing the great news...... Although this revolutionary victory came a little easier and a little earlier, it was not a bad thing, was it?

Hear the good news. The rest of the room burst into laughter. Only a member of the Central Bureau, Minister of Organization Mao Zd's face slipped a trace of solemnity. Chen Duxiu saw his expression and knew what the other party had. So he said with a smile: "Runzhi, do you have any different opinions on the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party?" ”

Mao ZD smiled and shook his head: "We and the Kuomintang are originally one, and we are both revolutionary organizations that support Mr. Sun, how can I have different opinions?" ”

Chen Duxiu frowned, and then remembered that Mao ZD didn't know that Zuo Min was Chang Ruiqing...... He must have regarded Zuo Min and Sun Yat-sen as one person! Chen Duxiu was thinking about whether to tell the other party the truth of the matter, but Mao Zd continued in a deep tone.

"Chairman, the crux of China's problem is still at the barrel of a gun! However, our party's mastery of the barrel of the gun is still far from sufficient. My idea is that we should take advantage of this KMT-CCP cooperation to strengthen our party's voice in the future revolutionary army! That's the only way. Only our party's right to speak in the future coalition government can be guaranteed! ”

Chen Duxiu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I have already considered Comrade Runzhi's opinion, and my idea is that our party should follow the example of the Russian Communist Party to set up a revolutionary military committee, and this committee will comprehensively lead the party's military work......

"Nope! I'm not in favor of that! Mao Zd shook his head. Interrupting Chen Duxiu's words loudly, his eyebrows furrowed tightly: "The situation of our Chinese revolution is still different from that of the Russian revolution, because the foundation of the Chinese revolution is the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the Chinese revolutionary army is also built on the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Therefore, we should form a military committee with the Kuomintang with Sun Yat-sen as the leader, rather than establishing separate military committees of the two parties...... If that is done, in the future there will definitely be an army of two systems, the Kuomintang army and the GCD army. This is very detrimental to the cooperation between the two parties in the future, and it is also easy for certain careerists to control the army and practice military dictatorship! ”

Chen Duxiu naturally knew the deep meaning in these words. The so-called careerist probably refers to Chang Ruiqing, right? If the Central G wants to form a separate military committee, then the chairman of the military committee will undoubtedly be Chang Ruiqing! After all, the Fujian Army is full of Chang Ruiqing's people, and the Red Brigade is also firmly controlled by Chang Ruiqing, even the Red Army aiding Russia far away in Russia is also under the control of Chang Ruiqing's henchmen!

Mao ZD picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and began to talk eloquently: "In the future, the Kuomintang Protector Army and our Party's Fujian Army will definitely merge into a unified army. Moreover, the current Fujian Army and the Protector Army are both organized and managed in accordance with the same system and regulations, and both armies have a characteristic, that is, power is concentrated in a few supreme command organs, and the commanders below do not have much real power. Therefore, we and the Kuomintang should establish a military committee to manage those military organs with great power, such as the War Department, the General Staff, the Logistics Department, and so on...... Of course, the chairman of this committee will definitely be Mr. Sun Yat-sen. What our party needs to grasp should be the same number of members as the Kuomintang, and Comrade Chang Ruiqing and Chairman Chen are of course candidates for committee members. ”

Listening to Mao ZD's words, Chen Duxiu couldn't help but cry out. This trick is extremely clever to kill two birds with one stone! This is to use the military power of the Kuomintang to contain Chang Ruiqing, and at the same time make him have to rely on the support of other high-level leaders of the Central G to maintain his position, which is equivalent to allowing the Central G to have military power......

"But can Chang Yaoru agree to such an arrangement......

It was Shao Piaoping who raised the objection, and before he finished speaking, Chen Duxiu nodded heavily: "Yes!" Because 15 tons of gold from Soviet Russia are for us Chinese GCD! And the only person who can go to Stockholm to withdraw money is our deputy secretary of the European Bureau, Comrade Zhou Elai. This huge amount of money is very important to Chang Yaoru and the future revolutionary war, so he will definitely agree to our request. Besides...... Comrade Mao Runzhi's method was not without any benefit to him. If this military council is not formed, who will lead the revolutionary army of the future unification? It can't be decided by Sun Yat-sen, right? In that case, the interests of us and Chang Yaoru will be even less secure! ”

"What about the Red Brigade and the Renaissance Society?" At this time, Li Dazhao, who had not spoken, suddenly asked another question: "Who should these two lawless organizations let control?" ”
