88. Preparatory Meeting for the Establishment of Shanghai Commune (I)
PS: Today's monthly ticket list once hit the 62nd place, which is really an unprecedented and gratifying result. Although I know that there are many factors that stop writing during the Spring Festival, I still feel very happy and thank the readers for their support.
In addition, some people say that I am exaggerating the harvest of the ransacking of Shanghai Beach, but there was indeed so much gold and silver in Shanghai at that time. According to official data in 1933, the amount of silver dollars in stock of all banks in Shanghai at that time was 600 million, and then because of the purchase of silver by the United States, the silver dollars in Shanghai had an outflow, but there should have been 500 million yuan, not to mention that the Red Army also raided the homes of many rich people. As for gold, it was not uncommon for the Kuomintang government to be able to scrape together 650 tons of gold in Shanghai at that time, with the private collections of foreign banks, private banks, and wealthy families.

December 30, 1934, Shanghai French Concession, No. 3 Shudri, Baylor Road
This is a two-storey brick and wood structure standing along the street, sitting north and facing south, the exterior wall is staggered with blue and red bricks, inlaid with white pink lines, the lintel is decorated with alum red carvings, the black lacquered door is equipped with copper rings, and the door frame is surrounded by beige stone strips, which belongs to the typical Shanghai Shikumen style building.
The surrounding environment near the small building is very beautiful, and on both sides of the small road shaded by greenery, there are very atmospheric old houses. The alley where this shikumen building is located is also full of beautiful Shanghai-style buildings, which looks like an elegant European-style town, full of romantic qualifications.
However. It was in this place full of petty qualifications that the most anti-heaven fighting organization in modern Chinese history was born.
ββ¦β¦ How fast the time flies...... Thirteen years have passed in a flash! I can't imagine that one day, I will be able to sit here again......"
Sit in the guest room on the first floor of 3 Tree Derry, Baylor Road. Looking at the furniture and furnishings that are vaguely familiar all around, the Chinese Communist Party. Comrade Chen Duxiu, the founder and first general secretary of the party, sighed deeply and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion for a while.
Thirteen years ago, when he held a meeting with 12 comrades from all over the country to announce the founding of the party, he never imagined that such a small gathering of frustrated intellectuals and radical youths would be able to do so in such a short period of time. Developed such a powerful liliang!
-- Indeed, in the great era of ups and downs, personal liliang is insignificant. But. When millions of people are fighting for one voice, one idea, one idea, that kind of cohesion is enough to change Shijie. Enough to make any enemy scareless!
At that time, the imperialist countries had just survived the catastrophe of the First World War. began to re-intensify its aggression and plunder against China in an attempt to further subjugate China; The contradictions and contention between the warlords of various factions in the country have become more intense, and the whole country has fallen into a dark situation of repeated internal strife and prolonged war.
Where is China headed? What is the future of the Chinese nation? Countless patriots have been distressed, hesitant and worried about this.
At this moment of confusion, the young Chinese communist. The party should rise from time to time, like a bright lightning, across the dark night sky!
-- The Newborn Communist Party of China. When the Industrial Party was first founded, it was indeed only an insignificant little shili in China's political arena. But it had the most appealing ideological weapon in China at that time. The program and goals it puts forward represent the correct direction of China's social development. It represents the fundamental interests of the broadest working masses in China. Therefore, from the time it was born, it was full of vigor and vitality, indicating the brightness and hope of China. It confidently takes the transformation of China as its own responsibility and points out the direction of progress and the goal of struggle for the Chinese people with firm conviction.
Next, in order to fundamentally change the bad situation of exploitation and oppression of the Chinese people, to realize the lofty ideal of national independence, the liberation of the people, the prosperity and strength of the country, and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, this great organization immediately began an indomitable and arduous and long struggle.
-- It is not so much that our party has led the Chinese people onto the road of independence and rejuvenation, but rather that it is the extreme desire of the vast number of Chinese people for national rejuvenation and national prosperity that has driven and inspired our party to meet one arduous challenge after another!
During this period, the party and the people's army have won countless brilliant glories and victories, but they have also suffered countless painful blows and defeats. With the support of huge external forces, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army finally advanced by fifteen years, allowing the red flag to be planted back in the birthplace of the party, and Chen Duxiu was able to sit back in this room once again - although he was no longer the organizer of the conference and the leader of the party, and had even been expelled from the party......
Of course, compared with the grievances of having to disguise itself as a teachers' gathering to deal with the search when the "First National Congress" was held thirteen years ago, the preparatory meeting for the establishment of the Shanghai Commune today is much more public. Not only were the red flags and party emblems hung openly inside and outside the house, but there were a large number of armed Red Army soldiers guarding the door, and there was also a Song Ziwen hanging on the street lamp outside the window - although for the sake of his own sister, that is, the mother of the country, Song Qingling, the Red Army and the traverser promised to spare Song Ziwen's life, and even had the idea of surrendering this guy at first...... How could it be that Song Ziwen couldn't see the situation clearly for a while, and his attitude was really bad, and his mouth was always unclean. It made all the traversers very unhappy, so they unanimously decided to tie up Song Ziwen and hang it on the street lamp outside the window for a while during the meeting, blow the cold wind, and sober up.
On this day, in addition to Chen Duxiu's "vase", the people who participated in the preparatory meeting for the establishment of the Shanghai Commune also included Wang Qiu, Professor Yang and Sister Jin Qina, who represented the future generations of travelers; General Xun Huaizhou, General Su Yu, Director Liu Ying, Commander of the Military Region of the Red Tenth Army, and Zeng Hongyi, the former political commissar of Fujian Province, who had just come to the door; Wang Yaowu, the commander of the former Kuomintang Supplementary First Brigade, Sun Liren, the former head of the Fourth Regiment of the Tax Police Corps, and Zhang Youyi, president of the Shanghai Women's Commercial Bank, were newly recruited; The "non-party friendly personages" Wang Yaqiao, Song Qingling and He Xiangning who were ready to be absorbed into the Shanghai Commune.
Liu Chouxi, commander of the 10th Red Army, Le Shaohua, political commissar of the 10th Red Army, and Hu Tiantao, commander of the 21st Red Division, were still leading the army in other areas to sweep away the remnants of the enemy in various places and suppress the reactionary elements.
After the participants arrived, after some pushing, Comrade Fang Zhimin served as the host of the meeting, sat on the main seat at the top, and announced the official start of the meeting, "...... Ahem, first of all, I would like to announce the start of this preparatory meeting for the establishment of the Shanghai Commune! Then, before moving on to the first topic, I would like to ask all comrades to stand and observe a three-minute silence in memory of the revolutionary martyrs who died in the counter-revolutionary coup d'Γ©tat of 'April 12'. β
After the silence ended, Fang Zhimin began to introduce the latest battle situation of the Red Tenth Army to several people outside the party...... (To be continued......)
