The Red Fourth Front Army began its Long March in early May, and when it set out from the base area, there were five armies: the 4th Army, the 9th Army, the 30th Army, the 31st Army, and the 33rd Army, under the jurisdiction of the 10th Division, the 11th Division, the 25th Division, the 27th Division, the 88th Division, the 89th Division, the 90th Division, the 91st Division, the 93rd Division, the 98th Division, and the 99th Division, a total of 33 regiments. The special service regiment, with a total of more than 80,000 combat troops, plus accompanying party and government organs, hospital and factory workers, totaled about 100,000 people. Later, the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion expanded all the way to the red, and the army once reached nearly 120,000 people, and now there is no less than 110,000 troops after repeated attrition.

The meeting between the two armies was made by revolutionary comrades. But inevitably began to compare, this Red Army is like the old family in the big house, you are better than other people's family is enough, if you are similar to the second and third rooms, then you will be looked down upon, this will be worse than others in terms of scale, then it is not a matter of being able to afford to look down on, it is completely inappropriate.

Originally, many commanders and fighters of the Four Front Army, including Zhang Guotao, were still counting on the central government to come to greatly increase their strength and win back a game! Who would have thought that someone was even more stumbling than himself. The division troops had a gun in their hands, and many small cannons they carried were also considered to be used for façade. A group of people led by Zhang Guotao were not so polite when they spoke to the central leaders.

The most infuriating thing was that Zhang Guotao's right-hand man, Chen Chonghao, political commissar of the Red Fourth Front Army, sent people to invite General Secretary Zhang Wentian to try to persuade him to accept Zhang Guotao's proposal, and asked him to show the authority of the general secretary and let the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, and others go south. He Wei, the commander of the Red 9th Army and a one-armed general, was particularly violent, he slapped the table and shouted: "What kind of general secretary do you look like, I think you look like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty." A puppet in Cao Cao's hands! ”

Zhang Wentian was enraged, pointed at Chen Changhao and said, "You have to be fully responsible for this incident that happened today!"

Chen Changhao also did not show weakness: "The Central Committee does not listen to Comrade Guotao's opinions, so let's listen to the opinions of the commanders of the Fourth Front Army." As a last resort, this is nothing more than a straightforward expression of the opinion of individual party members to you, please don't mind!" (There are historical data to rely on)

There is no longer the slightest fear of the central government in his words, and it can even be said that the central government has been placed in a subordinate position of the four front armies, although Xu Xiangqian and others still try their best to maintain the unity of the two armies and maintain the authority of the central government. It's a pity that the Four Front Army, which covers the sky with Zhang Guotao's hand, seems to be difficult to support alone. The only thing that is somewhat useful is to let the central authorities know that there are still people in the Fourth Front Army who want the central authorities. It is not known how many other effects there are

In 1931, Xu's wife was imprisoned in Wang Xijiu Village, her hands were tied and hung on a beam, and she was severely beaten to force her to confess that Xu had those two big hats on her head. Two years later, he was killed in Heiwa, near the village of Wang Xijiu. In other words, from the spring and summer of 1931, Xu faced two tests again and again.

Of course, in the Four Front Army, Zhang Guotao did more than that, after the infamous Xu Jishen murder tragedy, the purge became public. In a short period of 10 days, in Shixiang and Tuchengmen in Baiqueyuan Town, 96 officers above the regimental level were slaughtered, including dozens of Huangpu students, along with women and children. After the purge spread from officers to rank-and-file soldiers and local cadres. Cheng Xunxuan and his own brother, as well as Wang Shusheng's sister, were all killed at this time. "A Review of History" writes that the army, which totaled 15,000 thousand officers and soldiers, "was purged by more than 2,500 people"

After that, the rebellion spread to local governments. In addition to two cooks, the Lu'an Central County Party Committee was slaughtered from ******** to ordinary cadres; Huoqiu County did not even let go of the cooks, grooms, and tents, and they were all slashed and killed; 45 of the 48 cadres of the SN county government were killed; 10 of the 11 cadres of the YS county government were killed; The Lu'an Independent Regiment shot and killed more than 200 people at a time; More than 100 people from the Eighth Company of the Hongshan Guard Regiment were all buried alive......

The massacre continued until the summer of 1932 and affected the streets, the inhabitants, and "the kulaks and other bad elements were killed more than fifteen or six hundred people for no reason." Killing people has played tricks, a bit of a sky lantern, and there are also skinned ......" (Xu, "Review of History")

That is to say, its cruelty is no less than Jiang Jieshi's means, if a talent like Xu Jishen can stay, there will inevitably be one more general with great achievements in Chinese history, it can also be said that Jiang Jieshi dreamed of doing it but did not do it, Zhang Guotao helped him do it, a full ten years later, during the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, a former member of the Blue Coat Society said to Xu Xiangqian's colleague Chen Yi complacently: "We just used a little trick, Zhang Guotao killed Xu Jishen." But what we didn't expect was that Zhang Guotao helped us kill so many people......"

There may be many people who will defend Chairman Zhang, but this method of peeling off the skin and lighting the sky lantern makes it impossible to believe that this is a matter done on the side of justice and justice.

After that, in order to strive for unity as much as possible, the Central Committee made concessions. The Politburo, knowing that it violated the ** Constitution, still decided to add Xu Xiangqian, Chen Changhao, and Zhou Chunquan as members of the Central Committee, and He Wei, Li Xiannian, and Fu Zhong as alternate members of the Central Committee. Zhang Guotao was even among the highest levels of the Central Committee, but this was not what Zhang Guotao wanted, and he was very dissatisfied with the inability to completely gain control of the Red Army.

Mr. Peng was once approached by Zhang Guotao, and after being rejected for Peng's support on the condition of replenishing the soldiers, he still found Chen Geng, Commander Liu Bocheng and others one after another, but they were still bankrupt one by one. Xia Xinsheng was privately approached by Zhang Guotao among the last batch of personnel.

The place where the two met was in Zhang's office and residence, which was actually a fairly good house. After Xia Xinsheng arrived at the door, the guard reported it, Zhang personally came to the door to greet him, and Corporal Lixian's posture was sufficient, if he didn't know this history too clearly, Xia Xinsheng really bowed his head if he couldn't keep it.

Entering the door, Zhang took out a box of unopened cigarettes from the box, the cigarette box was full of foreign characters, and the packaging was very exquisite.
