On June 6, 1919, in a small forest outside the city of Yinchuan, Gansu Province, a group of croppers wearing patched clothes sat in a circle, listening to a young man in military uniform talking about something. These farmers were the heads of the poor peasant associations in the towns and villages around Yinchuan City.

Yinchuan City and most of Ningxia have now been occupied by the Northwest Frontier Army led by Mao Zd and Wu Peifu. They marched south from Suiyuan, through northern Shaanxi, and into Ningxia from the east. The original owner here, one of the eight towns of Longshang, the Ningxia Protector Ma Fuxiang's army is not much, and there is no combat effectiveness, and the vanguard of the Northwest Frontier Army led by Peng Dehua came into contact with it, and it broke up in an uproar, all the way to the Hexi Corridor to attach to the Liangzhou town guard Ma Liangxing, and put the 266th Agrarian Revolution and the Theory of No Immortals in the Old Nest Is there still a monthly pass? Yinchuan and Lingwu were all lost to Mao Zd and Wu Peifu.

After occupying Yinchuan, Lingwu and other places, Mao Zd did not immediately order the army to move westward. Instead, they set out to establish local government under the leadership of the GCD, including local party branches, local governments, and poor peasant associations. After these organizations were initially established, Mao Zd, in the name of the Northwest Bureau of the Central Committee and the Northwest Military and Political Commission, anxious party and government cadres from Yinchuan, Lingwu, Pingluo, Yongning, and other counties to Yinchuan to attend the "Agrarian Revolution Leadership Work Conference." These responsible persons of the Poverty Association who had gathered in the grove rushed to attend the meeting.

Probably because there were too many people attending the meeting, and there was not enough space in Yinchuan County to hold the meeting, the meeting became a small meeting, in which the cadres sent by the Northwest Bureau explained the party's policies and the methods and forms of the agrarian revolutionary struggle to the local cadres in Ningxia.

“…… The so-called agrarian revolution means that the Party carried out the campaign against local tyrants, divided the land, and abolished feudal exploitation and debts in the revolutionary base areas. A revolution to satisfy the peasants' demands for land. The general line of the agrarian revolution was to rely on the poor peasants and hired peasants, to unite with the middle peasants, to limit the rich peasants, and to protect the small and medium-sized industrialists and merchants. Is there still a monthly pass for the 266th Agrarian Revolution and the Theory of Immortality in the Elimination of the Landlord Class? , change the feudal and semi-feudal land ownership system into the revolutionary public ownership of land! ”

"According to the "Northwest Land Law" promulgated by the Northwest Bureau of the Central Government, our party's northwest base areas will negate the feudal land ownership system, confiscate one qiē land and return it to the Northwest Revolutionary Government, and then use the population as the criterion, and distribute men, women, and children equally, mainly with the township as the distribution unit......"

"And in order to carry out the agrarian revolutionary struggle, in order to fight against the feudal reactionary forces. The Northwest Bureau of the Central Government also decided to launch a struggle to eliminate the feudal reactionary forces at the same time as the struggle for the agrarian revolution! It is necessary to oppose not only feudal and semi-feudal land ownership, but also feudal clan and theocracy! To get rid of feudal superstition, it is necessary to establish materialist atheism among the vast number of poor peasants...... The arduous task of this work was in no way inferior to that of the agrarian revolution. Moreover, it has a direct bearing on the success or failure of our party's revolutionary work in the northwest! ”

When the cadre of the Northwest Bureau of the Central G suddenly raised the issue of opposing feudal theocracy, all the responsible persons of the Poor Association present were stunned for a moment at the same time, and their eyes were focused on it. But the cadre of the Northwest Bureau didn't care, and was still calm. He was small and had a bit of a monkey gill. With a Hunan accent, he is Mao Zd's classmate at the Hunan Provincial First Normal School, named Xia Xi, and the word is Manbo. He was also a revolutionary martyr in history. He once led four major rebellions in the base areas of western Hunan and Hubei! He eliminated more than 40,000 class enemies and Kuomintang spies lurking in the ranks of the Red Army in western Hunan-Hubei, and made indelible contributions to the defense of the revolutionary regime! And in this space-time. He was even entrusted with the important task of leading the agrarian revolutionary struggle in Ningxia by Comrade Mao ZD!

However, the leaders of the poor middle peasants in the townships and towns of Yinchuan County did not know the power of the Xia Revolutionaries. They began to question his words: "Why did the agrarian revolution involve any feudal superstitions? And the godless ...... We live here in a mixed Hui and Han communities. The Han people's village is easy to say, but the Hui people are not easy to handle! They are all controlled by a group of reactionary imams and will not listen to us. ”

"That is, here in the northwest is the Hui Han feud, I think there was a rebellion of the Hui people at the beginning, and I don't know how many of us were killed, if it wasn't for Zuo Zongtang's Hunan army to fight, we would have no Han people here for a long time...... These back-and-forths are not to be messed with! ”

"That's right! It's not easy to mess with Huihui, the eight towns of Longshang have always been four of each of the Han Dynasty, but the four towns of the Hui are much stronger than the four towns of the Han Dynasty! In particular, the Qingma Malin family is capable of conscription, and they all have imams in their ranks, and the soldiers they use are all Huihui from Hexi and Qinghai, especially capable of fighting! I think they won the victory after defeating the Hunan army. ”

"The return of the northwest must not be provoked! This agrarian revolution can revolutionize the lives of Han Chinese landlords and rich peasants. Most of the landlords and rich peasants who returned were imams, and in a word, Ding Zhuang of the whole village could get up and fight with us! When he returned to the rebellion, the leader Ma Zhanao, was the big imam! ”

After the discussion, it was a little unusual, and everyone was afraid of the Hui warlords in the northwest to death, especially the army of Ma Lin, the guard of Ninghai Town, and they were even more afraid to the extreme. They didn't even dare to touch the interests of those Hui landlords and imams, and most of the land here in Ningxia belonged to these feudal imams, even the poor middle peasants of the Han people also rented the land of the landlord imams, and if the interests of the imams were not moved, there would be no way to carry out this agrarian revolution at all!

Just when the leaders of these poor associations were talking about how powerful the Hui warlords were, and if the feudal imam dominated one side, they were rampant in the township. They didn't notice that not far from them, Mao Zd, the leader of the Northwest Bureau of the Central G, Wu Peifu, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Frontier Army, and Zhou Elai, the head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee

I don't know how long it took, until the discussion of the leaders of the poor association gradually subsided. Mao ZD said in a low voice: "It seems that ...... It is very reasonable for the Central Committee to ask our Northwest Bureau to propagate materialist values, atheism, and feudal superstition in the course of the agrarian revolution in the northwest. It seems that Soviet Russia has also adopted a resolute attitude of cracking down on feudal superstitious activities, and there are more than 200,000 clergy in Belarus brought by Kolchak to China! ”

"yes." Zhou Elai nodded emphatically: "The feudal forces and religious forces in the northwest have always been closely combined. This is already the case here in Ningxia. I'm afraid it's even more powerful when I get to Xinjiang! If we do not break the control of the feudal religious forces over the people, then our party will not be able to gain a foothold in the northwest at all, let alone build socialism. At this point, his thick eyebrows gradually twisted. Turned his head to look at Wu Peifu, who was expressionless: "Comrade Ziyu, I heard those people say that Qinghai Malin's army is very powerful, what do you think?" ”

Wu Peifu seemed to be a little depressed, he had some opinions on the agrarian revolutionary policy pursued by Zhong G, and when he heard Zhou Elai's question, he just sneered and did not answer. Mao Zd frowned slightly. looked at him with slanted eyes: "Comrade Ziyu, what do you have to think?" ”

Wu Peifu shook his head and said lightly: "The strength of the four Hui towns is not to worry about, and the real trouble is the millions of Hui people. Once there is a disturbance, the northwest will inevitably be in chaos! Even if we can calm down the chaos at that time, can the central government explain the past? Will they use this as an excuse to pinch us? ”

Mao Zd sneered and waved his hand very indifferently: "Central? Do you mean Chang Ruiqing or Hu Hanmin? It's too late for the two of them to fight each other, how can they care about us? "Immediately after. His tone was a little calmer: "If we want to gain a firm foothold in the northwest, we must rely on the largest number of poor and middle peasants of the Hui people in the northwest, but now they are firmly controlled by a small group of upper-class feudal lords of the Hui people using religion. If we do not take severe measures against this handful of feudal lords and feudal religious leaders, our party will not be able to truly establish the dictatorship of the proletariat in the northwest. There is no way to win the vast number of oppressed Hui people, poor and middle peasants to our side! Therefore, the opposition to feudal theocracy must and can only be placed on the same level as the opposition to feudal land ownership! These two points are the foundation for us to base ourselves on the northwest and build the northwest! It is also the key to the success or failure of our business! ”

Wu Peifu shook his head and said, "The reason why the Hui people become Hui people is because they believe in Islam. Believe in theocracy, if they don't believe in Islam and convert to Marxism. Then can they still be considered Muslims? They are Han Chinese just like us. If this thing can really be done, it can also make the northwest peaceful for a long time, but I'm afraid it's not easy. The sect of Islam is very powerful, and I think that the northwest and even the whole of Central Asia were thousands of miles of Buddha country, but now, but now, alas, ......"

Wu Peifu, a great showman, studied the history of the spread of Islam in the Western Regions on the way to Ningxia. Whether it is a peaceful propagation method or a holy war with swords and swords, in short, Islam has basically advanced without retreat, returning all the way to the entire Western Regions, and has even penetrated into the core territory of Chinese civilization.

As soon as he said this, Zhou Elai's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he glanced at Mao ZD with some hesitation. Mao Zd still had a resolute expression: "We don't want to oppose Islam, let alone turn the Hui people into Han Chinese...... This is inconsistent with the Marxist viewpoint of protecting weak and small nationalities. Our goal is to help the Hui people oppose the oppression of feudal theocracy, break the idealistic theism, establish a materialist world view and religious outlook, and completely emancipate them from the material to the spiritual! Only in this way can they truly become a member of the big socialist family, and only then can the northwest become a testing ground for socialism. ”

Mao Zd has almost said it thoroughly, if China wants to control the northwest, it must carry out the agrarian revolution in the northwest, and it must use Marxism to control the thinking of the people of all nationalities in the northwest! Allah must not be allowed to compete with Marx for believers, still less can feudal imams and landlords, large and small, be allowed to control most of the land and people in the northwest!

As for the earth-shaking agrarian revolution that is about to take place in the northwestern land, Chang Ruiqing, who has returned to Nanjing, and his allies are happy to see it come to fruition. In the next two or three years, they will not have the energy to take care of the far northwest, and the most worrying thing is that Soviet Russia will take the opportunity to extend its claws into Xinjiang to build some independent East Turkistan state. Now Mao Zd and Wu Peifu are pulling tens of thousands of troops over, no matter what they do, this territory will always belong to China...... Moreover, once the banner of Marxism is hoisted in Xinjiang, Soviet Russia will naturally not be able to use Islam to incite the establishment of Marxism, otherwise it will use Allah to oppose Marx!

Therefore, the central government in Nanjing turned a blind eye to the affairs of the agrarian revolution in Ningxia, and appointed He Shuheng as the military envoy of Ningxia. In fact, it was to let Mao control the military and political power in Ningxia and follow him to liberate the poor and middle peasants of the Hui people spiritually and materially. At the same time, the Military Council also issued an order to remove Ma Fuxiang, Ma Lin, Ma Yanxun, Ma Lan and others from their posts as military envoys or town guard envoys, and also issued a crusade order. pushed the four horses of Gansu to the position of "rebels" at once. It also gave Mao ZD and Wu Peifu an excuse to continue to clean them up.

On the other hand, under the pretext of the Zhuma Rebellion in Gansu, Chang Ruiqing ordered the Gu Pinzhen Department of the Yunnan Army to speed up the pace of going north in the name of the Military Commission. And Gu Pinzhen's department was reorganized into the Second Army of the Northwest Frontier Army (Mao Zd and Wu Peifu's headquarters were the First Army, and Zhao Zhen's department was the Third Army), and Gu Pinzhen was appointed as the chairman of Gansu Province, Zhao Youxin was the commander of Gansu Provincial Security, and Zhu D was the commander of the Ninghai garrison. He also deliberately took out a 2 million yuan for the opening fee, and then added a batch of weapons and ammunition to the Second Army of the Northwest Frontier Army. finally sent Gu Pinzhen and them on the road to Gansu to "quell the rebellion".

As soon as Gu Pinzhen left, the loose Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou army alliance in the southwest could be regarded as a disbandment. Of course, Chang Ruiqing would not let go of this opportunity, as soon as Gu Pinzhen's army left Yunnan (from Guangxi to Qinzhou, Guangdong, to board a ship and ship to Shanghai, and then transfer to a train to Luoyang. Then walk to the northwest). The Central Military Commission issued an order to reorganize the Guizhou Army and part of the Sichuan Army. The method of reorganization was the same as originally discussed with Sun Yat-sen: the Guizhou Army was reorganized into two divisions, and Liu Cunhou's division of the Sichuan Army was reorganized into one division, and these three divisions were then combined into the 14th Army of the National Defense Army, and the generals of Xiong Kewu's system, Dan Nugang, Liu Chengxun, and Lai Xinhui, were transferred to the 14th Army to serve as commanders, deputy commanders, and chiefs of staff. As soon as these orders were issued. Everyone understands that the next unlucky person is Xiong Kewu.

As for Jiang Jshi, the second most powerful figure in China at the moment, he is also doing similar things as Chang Ruiqing these days, reorganizing the army and establishing local grassroots political power. The former, Jiang Jshi, has long wanted to do it. However, due to the overt and covert connections between the various factions in the Northeast Army and Japan, he could only advance cautiously. There hasn't been much progress. However, now that the Japanese governor of Kwantung Prefecture and the Japanese consul general in Shenyang have nodded their heads, he, the "puppet" supported by the Japanese, can finally reorganize his army in a big way.

And the latter has been brewing for a long time. Looking at the grassroots power and land reform of the Changrui Qingtong guò national government. Having the peasants and the countryside firmly in his hands, and thus gaining great power, this commander-in-chief Chiang was not without ideas.

In a voice: "Commander-in-Chief Chiang has arrived!" After the roll call. Jiang Jshi walked quickly into the conference room he had set up in the original Marshal Zhang Zuolin's mansion, which is now the headquarters of his Northeast Frontier Army.

Wang Bailing, Zhang Qun, Guo Songling, Jiang Dengxuan, as well as several civil officials of Jiang Jshi's system, Zhang Jingjiang and Chen Guofu from Shanghai, Wang Yongjiang from Northeast China, and Dai Jitao from Nanjing, have been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Jiang Jshi walk in, except for Zhang Jingjiang, everyone stood up and saluted him, that is, looked at him. The commander-in-chief of Jiang looked a little emaciated, and everyone knew in their hearts that the situation after Sun Yat-sen's death was extremely complicated, and their master was unwilling to submit to Chang Ruiqing, and he was not determined to go out and fight Chang Ruiqing. always wants to rely on small actions and scheming to make the most advantageous shape before going to war, but Chang Ruiqing is also a master of intrigue and trickery, where is it so easy for Lao Jiang to succeed? This Vice Chairman Jiang will inevitably sigh day and night, and he will become thinner and thinner.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jiang Jishi sighed slightly. pondered about dealing with Chang Ruiqing all day long, and said that it was false to say that he was haggard. But in the blink of an eye, he raised the spirit of 120,000 points again, and slowly glanced at everyone: "Now it seems that the position of the Central Committee has been stabilized, and Chang Ruiqing has firmly controlled the central power by relying on the military and financial resources in his hands, as well as the support of the United States, as well as the support of some irresolute elements within our party and GCD." Although Hu Zhantang and Xu Ruwei have a high status, they have actually been hollowed out and can't help us much. We will only rely on ourselves to open the situation in the future, and I invite you to come over today to discuss how to open the situation? ”

Jiang J Shi's chief of staff, Wang Bailing, seemed to have an idea a long time ago, and he said with a smile: "Brother J Shi, in my opinion, we still have to make a fuss about Mr. Sun's cause of death...... Mr. Sun's illegitimate daughter Sun Yuexun is the most suspicious, and she is now under the protection of Chang Ruiqing, there must be something wrong here. We should demand that an independent investigation team be formed to interrogate Sun Yuexun and find out the truth! ”

Hearing Wang Bailing's construction, Zhang Jingjiang chuckled low beside him. He is the guide of Jiang J Shi Zhengzhì, and now he is the general staff of the Northeast Frontier Defense General Headquarters, and actually manages the entire Northeast civil affairs system, and is the actual number two person in Jiang J Shi's system, and Jiang J Shi also attaches great importance to his opinions.

Lao Jiang smiled and said, "Mr. Jingjiang, what do you think?" Zhang Jingjiang nodded, and said lightly: "It's not a high opinion, it's just a way to fish in troubled waters." ”！！！
