When we read the history of the party, while lamenting the hardships and perseverance of the party members of our predecessors, I am afraid that we will not be able to feel uneasy about the brutal internal rebellion, political movements, 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", there was a classic scene of the trial of Liu Zhidan by the Anti-Terrorism 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 stable to defect to the Kuomintang - although this party is doomed to fail in Zuihou, 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 Chinese Communist Party generally holds that Chiang Kai-shek's "April 12" counterrevolutionary coup d'état and Wang Jingwei's "July 15" purge action caused tremendous damage to the Chinese Communist Party. 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 Ching-wei were at least several times that of the Communist Party!

Before the purge in April 1927, the Kuomintang had about 650,000 rank-and-file members (and nearly 300,000 party members or die-hard supporters overseas and in the military), but by March 1928, Shanghai"4. 12 "And Wuhan" 7. 15 About a year later, the number of Kuomintang members had plummeted to 220,000! The CCP members who were members of the Kuomintang 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 of them 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! Especially in Guangxi, before the purging of the party in 1927, there were about 128,000 Kuomintang members, but by 1934 there were only 5,000 left, less than a fraction of the previous one, which shows the severity of the killing.

Weishenme The Kuomintang has figured out the party, but it wants to kill even its own party members in large numbers?

Because at the beginning of the KMT-CPC cooperation, the CPC's organizational activities within the KMT were secret, and the identities of the vast majority of CPC members, except for a few important CCP members, were not made public, so the biggest difficulty in purging the KMT was that it was impossible to distinguish who was the CPC. It is too troublesome to arrest all the Kuomintang members and interrogate them one by one, and 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!" It is basically an order to distinguish between good and bad, and to kill all the grassroots party members and "suspected communists" of the Kuomintang!

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 took the lead in issuing a telegram to clear the party.

And Wu Zhihui said blatantly: "...... Staying on Shijie is a disaster, and sending it to prison is troublesome, so it is better to kill it 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 man who had only been deceived into a thief ship, and although he was indeed dissatisfied with the Communist Party, according to the Western view, they always thought that the Qing Party was just a legal and political division of the two parties, and since then they have parted ways. It's a pity that I forgot that Chairman Jiang came out of the Qing Gang, and people are used to using knives to clean up the door......

But to be honest, Cai Yuanpei was at Chiang Kai-shek's Shanghai Longhua Headquarters from the very beginning, actively plotting a plan to purge the party, discussing for days and making a list of candidates who needed to be arrested, and then publicly declared again and again that he would cut down the roots of the Communist Party 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, Kuomintang members everywhere were in danger of being arrested and shot at any time. Rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to simply join the Communist Party and fight to the death......

This is also the reason why the Communists 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 Li chief Wang Guoxing mentioned above, many people who were not originally communists were also "taken by the communists" one after another with the expansion of the Qing party, so that they could no longer want to make a revolution......

In short, after such a sweep, the grassroots Kuomintang members were almost killed by the top leaders, and the rest also slipped away from the party, or directly joined the Communist Party, 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 CCP's subsequent rectification and purge of rebellion was so brutal was to a large extent because they learned from Chairman Chiang.

Moreover, although there are also many unjust cases of the CCP's suppression, there has never been a time when more than half of the party members have been killed at once......

Therefore, after the bloody purge of the party, the Communist Party suffered heavy losses, but the Kuomintang was even more uprooted by its own people. The Kuomintang county and township grassroots organizations 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 is worse is that the Kuomintang's work of purging the party was not ended all at once, but was repeated many times, and the target was not only aimed at the Communist Party -- not to mention that Chiang Kai-shek seemed to be very polite 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 when they were killed, they all shouted Long live the Three People's Principles, long live Sun Yat-sen, long live the Republic of China, 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 Damosk 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 forward 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 was even a ridiculous incident where a middle school teacher was arrested by the authorities on suspicion of writing simplified Chinese. Later, even Wu Zhihui, a hardcore butcher, couldn't stand it anymore, and issued a strong protest 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 control 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 Kuomintang ruling -- on the other hand, those soldiers and hooligans who were recruited could easily put on the skin of Kuomintang members, and even the examination could be omitted.

Since the identity of a Kuomintang member can be obtained so easily, it is naturally worthless.

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, the Communist Party has been given tremendous room for infiltration, to the extent that "where there is the Kuomintang, there is the Communist Party."

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

What's even more amazing is that even when they later learned that these people were communist spies, the generals of the party-state still expressed their disbelief and thought that this was a discordant plan of the communist party. Because according to the original version of the war made 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 they dare not go too far out of line, for fear of revealing their feet--and the combat jihua that was ordered by Chairman Chiang to be revised and then directly commanded by remote control in each regiment by telephone, is the only way to lead to the repeated crushing defeats of the armies of the party and the state and the collapse of 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, being a member of the Kuomintang under Jiang Gong is probably not a haode choice
