9. The Kuomintang is more ruthless than killing **!

When we read the history of the party, while lamenting the hardships and perseverance of the party members of our predecessors, we may not help but feel uneasy about the brutal internal rebellion, political campaigns, rectifications, and the lengthy list of innocent victims.

In short, many people in modern times feel that it was too dangerous to join the Red Revolution in those years, not only to deal with the brutal extermination of the reactionaries, but also to beware of those "red whole man experts" (such as Kang Sheng) behind the scenes. The slightest inexplicable mistake, or even the slightest mistake, can be arrested, criticized, and executed for no reason.

For example, in the TV series "Long March" and "Liu Zhidan", there was a classic scene of the trial of Liu Zhidan by the Anti-Counter Committee: "...... Let's arrest this counter-revolution first, and then talk about it, the evidence will come later...... What evidence do you want? Black and white is proof! ”

Therefore, many people feel that if they go back to that era, it seems that it is more secure to defect to the Kuomintang -- although this party is doomed to defeat in the end, but before defeat, it can enjoy a comfortable life, right?

But in fact, if you can't get into a certain position soon after joining the Kuomintang, but stand still in the position of a grassroots party member. Then when Chairman Chiang's butcher's knife is raised, I'm afraid he will die faster!

-- The history of the party generally believes that Chiang Kai-shek's "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup d'état and Wang Jingwei's "July 15" purge action caused great damage. But in fact, in the tragedy of this split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Kuomintang members who died under the butcher's knife of Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei were at least several times more than **!

Before the purge of the party in April 1927, the Kuomintang had about 650,000 rank-and-file members (and nearly 30,000 party members or die-hard supporters overseas and in the military), but by March 1928, it was Shanghai"4. 12 "And Wuhan" 7. 15 About a year later, the number of Kuomintang members had plummeted to 220,000! The ** party members with the status of Kuomintang members were only 50,000 before the purging of the party.

Even if all these 50,000 people are counted (in fact, only more than 10,000 were killed, and some people left the party), it means that the Kuomintang has at least eliminated 380,000 Kuomintang members this time, more than half of all ordinary party members! In Guangxi, in particular, there were about 12 Kuomintang members before the purge of the party in 1927. 80,000 people, but by 1934 there were only 5,000 left, less than a fraction of the previous one, which shows the cruelty of its killing.

Why did the Kuomintang want to kill even its own party members in large numbers when they found out about the party?

Because at the beginning of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the organizational activities of **** in the Kuomintang were secret, and the identities of the vast majority of party members were not disclosed except for a few important members, so the biggest difficulty in clearing the party was that it was impossible to distinguish who was **. And it is too troublesome to arrest all the Kuomintang members who are suspected of being secretive and interrogating them one by one. If it is delayed for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no changes (such as the Nanchang Uprising).

As soon as the Qing troops arrived in the localities, they immediately imprisoned or killed the Kuomintang personnel in the local counties, townships, or districts, and there was no distinction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party -- this is the true meaning of the slogan "It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one person slip through the net!" is basically ordering that there should be no distinction between good and bad, and all the grassroots party members and "suspected members" of the Kuomintang should be killed!

In addition to the two leaders, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei, the new warlords in various places who joined the Kuomintang camp later and became the "revolutionary army" after only changing their flags, worked even harder to add fuel to the fire in the process of purging the party.

For example, Bai Chongxi admonished Chiang Kai-shek that the work of purging the party could not be carried out any longer, otherwise the entire party organization would be destroyed, and on the other hand, he asked the people of the Gui family to grasp the work of purging the party in Chiang Kai-shek's hometown of Zhejiang, and to kill the Kuomintang more than anyone else -- because these new warlords knew very well that the more they took advantage of this opportunity to spoil the Kuomintang, the worse the mess Chiang Kai-shek would take over, and the easier it would be to oppose Chiang Kai-shek and overthrow Chiang in the future.

Moreover, in the process of purging the party, some seemingly mild-mannered literati and "public intellectuals" also showed their hideous and cruel true colors

-- When Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" campaign in Shanghai, Cai Yuanpei, a well-known educator and president of Peking University, was one of the masterminds behind the scenes; he also drafted the decision to clean up the party together with Wu Zhihui, a famous literati at that time, in his capacity as a member of the Kuomintang Supervisory Committee, and led the dispatch of the Qing Party.

And Wu Zhihui said blatantly: "...... Staying in the world is a disaster, and sending them to prison is a lot of trouble, so it is better to kill them directly. ”

It can be seen from this that fortunately, the compassionate "public knowledge" in my country now do not have guns in their hands, otherwise they will definitely not be softer than Principal Cai.

Although Cai Yuanpei's students later defended the principal, saying that he was a bookish person, he was just deceived into a thief ship. Although he was indeed dissatisfied with **, according to the views of Western European and American political circles, he always thought that the Qing Party was just a two-party split in law and politics, and since then they have parted ways......

But to be honest, Cai Yuanpei was in Chiang Kai-shek's Shanghai Longhua Headquarters from the very beginning, actively planning the plan to clear the party, discussing and listing the list of candidates who needed to be arrested for several days, and then publicly declared again and again that he would cut down the grass and eradicate the **** and left-leaning elements, and resolutely refused to stop purging the party, until Chiang Kai-shek lost power and went into the wilderness. At the most extreme time, Cai Yuanpei even put his own protégé Liu Yazi (also a member of the Kuomintang Supervisory Committee) on the blacklist of cleanup and wanted.

In his essays, Lu Xun also commented on the Qing Party of the Kuomintang at that time: I have never seen a murder like this in my life!

All of a sudden, all Kuomintang members in various localities were in danger, and now they were all regarded as communist suspects, and they were in danger of being arrested and shot at any time. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to simply throw ** and fight to the death......

This is also the reason why the first people were able to launch hundreds of armed uprisings and quickly establish many base areas in just a few years after the defeat of the Great Revolution - just like the hereditary chief Wang Guoxing of the Li nationality mentioned above, many guys who were not originally ** have also been "****" with the expansion of the Qing Party, so that they don't want to revolution......

In short, after being cleaned up like this, the grassroots Kuomintang members were almost killed by the senior leaders, and the rest also slipped away from the party, or directly voted for the ****, which is equivalent to splashing the children with dirty water...... To tell the truth, a party organization like this, which is even more terrifying than the gangsters, really can't stay, how can there be a reason to casually kill more than half of their grassroots party members without even looking for a crime!

-- Some people say that the reason why the rectification and purge after ** was so cruel was that they also learned from Chairman Chiang in a great way.

Moreover, although there are also many unjust cases of the rebellion, there has never been a time when more than half of the party members in the country have been killed at once......

Therefore, after a bloody purge of the party, ** suffered heavy losses, but the Kuomintang was eradicated by its own people. The grassroots organizations of the Kuomintang counties and townships established in the provinces before and after the Northern Expedition basically collapsed after the purging of the party, and their recovery was very slow. Until 1933, only 17 percent of the country's counties had established county party offices, let alone the party organizations in the townships below.

What's worse is that the Kuomintang's work of purging the party was not ended all at once, but repeatedly made a lot of trouble, and the target was not just aimed at ** -- don't look at Chiang Kai-shek's politeness to Hu Hanmin and Wang Jingwei, but he treated the pawns below without discussion. There were more than 100 veteran members of the Kuomintang opposition who were shot dead at the Longhua Garrison Headquarters in Shanghai alone, and all of them shouted "Long live the Three People's Principles, long live Sun Yat-sen, long live ********, and defeat the traitor Chiang Kai-shek......

However, Chiang Kai-shek also had a time when he lost his position and went into opposition, and at this time it was the turn of the Kuomintang members of Chiang Kai-shek's faction to be liquidated -- so the Kuomintang members in the middle of the Republic of China, no matter which faction they defected to, were also in danger of becoming the targets of the purge.

Even after Chiang Kai-shek won the Great War in the Central Plains and initially established a stable rule, "ideological deterioration" (the Kuomintang's synonym for leftism) was still a sword of Damoske hanging over the head of every Kuomintang member.

As long as someone is put on this big hat, and then no big man is willing to come out to vouch for it, I am afraid that he can be shot at will without looking for any evidence -- in Hunan and Jiangxi in the thirties, there were even absurd things where middle school teachers were arrested by the authorities on suspicion of **** because they wrote simplified Chinese characters. Later, even Wu Zhihui, a hardcore **** butcher, couldn't stand it anymore, and strongly protested to Chairman Jiang.

In short, after 1927, although China was under Chiang Kai-shek's world, it was not under the control of the Kuomintang.

On the contrary, grassroots Kuomintang members are often the targets of persecution and vigilance.

Although Chiang Kai-shek was the president of the Kuomintang, because there were too many veterans in the party who were more senior than him, it was difficult for him to fully grasp party affairs, so in fact he only really trusted the descendants of the Whampoa Military Academy, and ordinary Kuomintang members could not gain much benefit from the ruling of the Kuomintang -- on the other hand, those soldiers and ruffians who were recruited could easily put on the skin of Kuomintang members, and even the examination for joining the party could be omitted.

Since the identity of a Kuomintang member can be obtained so easily, it is naturally not very valuable in society.

As a result, because they were both excluded and distrusted, and driven by a huge sense of loss, the loyalty of the Kuomintang to Chairman Chiang was naturally not very high. As a result, it gave **** a lot of room for infiltration, and it was until "where there is the Kuomintang, there is **".

During the War of Liberation, the Nationalist Government was even infiltrated into such a horrific situation: Chairman Chiang ordered the suppression of the Communists -- > Communist spy Guo Rugui formulated a plan for the suppression of the Communists -- > the Communist spy Liu Fei reviewed the plan to suppress the Communists and reported it -- > the Communist spy Shen Anna recorded some temporary revisions and sorted out and reported them -- > the Communist spy Han Liancheng was responsible for keeping the definite plan for the suppression of the Communists -- the > plan for the suppression of the Communists was issued through the Nanjing Military Telephone Station, which was almost entirely a spy of the Communists> sent troops to suppress the Communists......

What's even more amazing is that even if they later learned that these people were communist spies, the generals of the party-state still expressed disbelief and thought that this was a **** discordant plan. This is because according to the original version of the battle plan developed by these communist spies, even if they cannot win the battle, at least they will not lose too badly -- because the people who do underground work have at least one degree in their hearts and dare not go too far for fear of revealing their feet--and the battle plan that Chairman Chiang personally ordered to revise and then directly call each regiment by telephone and commanded remotely is the only way to guide the party-state armies to repeatedly and crush them for thousands of miles......

It can be seen from this that the tactical level of Jiang Gong, a "great man through the ages" and "contemporary Yue Wumu", stinks.

Therefore, if you are not a Whampoa student, becoming a member of the Kuomintang under Chiang Gong is probably not a good choice.
