Chapter 109: The Killing Begins
It is said that Chiang Kai-shek may not be very good at fighting, but he still has a set of playing politics, at least most of the people who follow him to fight the world have let him play, from Li Zongren to Dai Li, he has never played Chiang Kai-shek, which shows that Chiang Kai-shek's face is thick and black, and he is indeed very powerful.
A few days ago, Chiang Kai-shek also met with the president of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, and with the sound of his chest, he told the chairman of the trade union, "You should put a hundred hearts, the pickets are the workers' proper armament, and there is absolutely no reason to disarm. ”
This is not the end, in order to get a good surface, Chiang Kai-shek even personally wrote a pennant of "common struggle" and sent it to the trade union, and asked the military band to beat it and send it to them, which is really not lively.
Originally, the Shanghai District Party Committee still had suspicions in the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek, but Chen Duxiu and others were shaken by Chiang Kai-shek's small favors.
Modern people are all pit fathers, but modern people are pit children. Chen Duxiu's right-leaning capitulationism obviously deceived his son Chen Yannian, and also deceived many CP party members.
On April 11, when Liu Yuan took the Whampoa elite on a tour of the school, Chiang Kai-shek had already issued an order that the recovered provinces should unanimously implement the purging of the party. Of course, this matter is a secret order, and Liu Yuan, who is in Wuhan, is not very clear.
In the early morning of April 12, it is the busiest time in Shanghai, full of red lights and green wine, gentle and pleasant singing, people have to immerse themselves in the prosperity of Shanghai.
Beautiful dancing girls, dressed in waist-wide cheongsams, stand at the door, squeezing their waists to attract greedy customers.
At this time, groups of fake workers with white cloth wrapped around their arms and armbands with the word "work" written on them appeared, and they rushed into all kinds of clubhouses, rushed into various concessions, grabbed things when they saw them, and beat people when they saw them.
In an instant, the bustling Shanghai Beach was stained with a trace of concealment, there were people fleeing for their lives everywhere, and the sound of Sister Yao squatting on the ground crying was everywhere, just now it was not just the jewelry not to be snatched, but there were even people who touched their buttocks and didn't give the money yet.
The pickets immediately threw away this farce to control it, but found that the force on the opposite side was obviously very strong, and even launched a fierce battle with the pickets.
At this moment, a whistle sounded, and the sound of the stamped army running shook the streets as if they were shaking.
The remaining lights illuminated the military flag of this army, and it turned out to be the 26th Army, and President Chiang actually sent a unit of the army to surround the entire picket.
"It is crazy that you should hand over all your weapons as an arm to serve the workers and the people, and that you should fight with the workers." The division commander who led the team was Sun Chuanfang's old subordinate, and he had no personal relationship with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at all, and he didn't care about everything at all.
"Sir, this is a misunderstanding! They are not workers, they are fakes. We are maintaining the law and order of Shanghai Beach. "The leader of the union obviously felt that something was not right today, and as soon as there was a dispute, the troops arrived immediately, and if there was no conspiracy here, they would not believe it.
All the people said that they would not surrender their weapons, which immediately angered the division commander of the 26th Army, and at the sound of an order, the machine guns were raised.
Some of the hard-boned pickets were reluctant to surrender their weapons, and as a result, they were directly strafed by machine gun fire to the ground, killing more than 100 people at once, and staining the streets with blood.
After all, the pickets had not really been on the battlefield a few times, and the sound of machine guns and the fallen team members were deeply shocked by them, and the pickets chose to surrender after the last round.
Chiang Kai-shek actually took control of Shanghai at a fast pace, and the April 12 Incident officially began.
After the pickets surrendered, for a whole day, the whole Shanghai was arresting and killing people, just by the masses found that there were more than 300 CP and leftist party members who had been killed, more than 500 *** members were arrested, and more than 5,000 people were completely missing, and they did not return to this world, and as for where they went, Chiang Kai-shek's notes did not mention it.
Of course, what Chiang Kai-shek couldn't figure out was that the people who arrested Chen Yannian failed, on the day of the incident, Chen Yannian was surrounded by people with strong martial arts to protect, and the white-haired old man, holding a big knife in his hand, actually knocked down more than a dozen agents in a while, and then took Chen Yannian to grab the gun.
However, Chiang Kai-shek is so busy that he will not put his mind on Chen Yannian alone, anyway, Chiang Kai-shek's harvest this time is already very good, and Wang Shouhua and Zhao Shiyan, CP party members who make him angry and have a headache have grabbed a lot.
Then the Qing Party movement spread rapidly like a drop of ink into water, and the Qing Party in Guangzhou was also very fast, arresting 2,000 people in one day, closing more than 200 trade unions, and Xiang Xiao's virgin, Xiong Xiong and other excellent CPs were also a pile of deaths.
Then Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Guangxi, Hunan, and Jiangxi carried out the purging of the party in the name of purging the party at the same time. Even Zhang Zuolin, who was in Beijing, kept up with the fashion and wantonly arrested CP party members in Beijing, among which the more famous one belonged to Mr. Li Dazhao, who was hanged for espionage, and for this reason the Beijing government also specially imported hanging equipment from abroad.
Of course, turn around, let's still talk about the Wuhan government, at this time the Wuhan government really has no way at all, all the areas controlled by the national government are almost in the Qing party, and the only quiet is Hubei Province controlled by the national government, but these days the Tenth Army has also begun to frequently activities in Wuhan City, and for a time Wuhan has also made a lot of noise.
The Wuhan government is meeting every day, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are sitting at the table, and you come and go, each expressing his own opinion.
There were radical direct demands that the troops on the front line be sent to fight with Chiang Kai-shek, of course, most of this was the opinion of CP party members, and at this time, even the leftists were unwilling to do anything with Chiang Kai-shek, and if they really did, then the Northern Expedition would not have been there for many years since the premier.
Moreover, Wang Jingwei, the real leader of the Wuhan government, is a real and honest person, and if you let him fight Chiang Kai-shek, he really doesn't have the courage to do so.
Of course, there are also those who demand a compromise with Chiang Kai-shek, in their opinion, the Nationalist Government is already chaotic enough, there are already many factions, and now that they are divided, life is even more unbearable.
However, the CP is firmly opposed to the compromise, and they still hold the idea of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and if they compromise with Chiang Kai-shek, then what will they do.
After talking about it for so long, the result of the solution was not discussed at all, and at this time, I don't know who suddenly said that the Tenth Army outside the city is going to enter the city, what should we do.
In the past, Chiang Kai-shek had been paralyzing everyone, and no one thought that the heroic force of the Tenth Army would be unfavorable to Wuhan, and with this army defending Wuhan, everyone was also very secure, but today, when the Tenth Army was about to enter the city, everyone was dumbfounded.
Wang Jingwei only knew that Lu Dao was sitting there without speaking at this time, there was no way at all, compared to Mrs. Song Qingling, he was still relatively calm, he asked the people around him, "The Tenth Army is a unit brought out by Commissar Liu Yuan, and Commissar Liu Yuan is also the commander of the Tenth Army, I wonder if Lu Dao can control the Tenth Army and use it for us!" ”
Song Qingling's words pulled Liu Yuan, the guy who disappeared from everyone's sight, back, but as soon as he finished speaking, someone poured cold water, "What's the use of looking for him, Liu Yuan has just left the Tenth Army, and the Tenth Army has a big change in personnel appointments, the real old people of the Tenth Army have gone to the military academy with Liu Yuan, as for the deputy army commander Hu Zongnan, he also left a few days ago, it is impossible for all General Liu Yuan to control the Tenth Army, let's think of other ways." ”
For a moment, the conference room fell silent again.
