Chapter 7 Form an armed force

In October 1927, the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China instructed the Sanyuan County Committee of the Communist Party of China twice: "Use other more revolutionary methods to organize peasants as much as possible", "Use extraordinary measures to deal with the feudal forces in the countryside when necessary", "Mobilization is very good at farming Comrades who are involved in the movement and those who may be involved in the peasant movement will go to the villages, and in the shortest possible time, we will restore the peasant association or establish a peasant organization with another name.”Huang Ziwen did a lot of mass work after returning to his hometown in accordance with the instructions of the provincial and county party committees.

On February 9, 1928, Huang Ziwen and Tang Yuhuai felt that the time to establish a mass organization was ripe, so they held a meeting with more than 40 people in Baosi Temple, Wuzi District. The meeting was presided over by Tang Yuhuai, and Huang Ziwen gave a mobilization speech.He said: "After I came back, I had conversations with many fellow villagers. In the past two years, the peasant associations here have been very vigorous, and I was very touched and inspired. To be honest, I came back this time to make revolution with everyone. We must rebuild the peasant association, fight against the local tyrants and evil gentry, and against the reactionary warlords, until the world becomes the world of the working people."

Then, Ziwen told everyone about the origin of the "Nanlu Pond" that he heard from the private school teacher when he was a child: a long time ago, there was a long drought without rain, the land was cracked, and people and animals were about to die of thirst. The misery of the people was so miserable that they asked the rain master for help. It rained for half a day, and the rainwater accumulated in the earth pit, forming a pool of rainwater. The hungry and thirsty people knelt down to drink from the pool, feeling as sweet as flower dew.This rain saved the crops and the people.Since then, people erected a stele beside the pool and called it "Nanlu Pond". Afterwards, whenever it rains, everyone dredges the canals and diverts water into the pool to prevent drought.Ziwen finished telling the story and said with a smile: "Although this is a legend, it reflects people's psychology of survival. Today, the working people are still struggling on the verge of death, and they need to be rescued by caring people like Qiao Guozhen and Tang Yuhuai. Qiao and Tang are' Manna', everyone here should be the manna that saves the people from suffering."

After Ziwen finished speaking, everyone still stared at him blankly, lost in thought.Ziwen struck while the iron was hot again, telling them about the workers' uprising in Shanghai and the peasants' armed struggles in the rural areas of Hunan and Hubei. among.Finally, he encouraged everyone to say: "As long as the broad masses of the people unite and take up arms to fight against imperialism and the Kuomintang reactionaries, victory will definitely belong to the toiling masses!" During that period, the revolutionary vigor of carrying out the peasant movement, fighting the local tyrants, and fighting the evil gentry was revived again.Xi Haosheng rolled up his sleeves and said: "Second brother, you are not drinking ink for nothing, you boldly lead everyone to do it, and I will run errands for you!" "Go ahead, let's mobilize relatives and friends to unite around second brother Come!" Everyone said in unison.Tang Yuhuai stood up, glanced at Ziwen, and the two smiled knowingly.

Huang Ziwen said: "Okay! Then let's establish our own organization today, called the 'Anti-Enemy Committee'!" According to the arrangement of Huang Ziwen and Tang Yuhuai, everyone elected Sun Zhigang as the director and Li Tianbao as the deputy director.According to geographical conditions, there are five branches. In order to raise funds and buy weapons, Huang Ziwen sold the land in his home, and even set up a "bitter trick" of his own. He asked underground party members to pretend to be "bandits", tied himself in front of his mother and tortured him, forcing her to take out the money hidden at home to "save himself". On February 22, the peasant guerrillas led by the Anti-Enemy Committee were established, with Tang Huizhi as the captain, Sun Pingzhang as the deputy captain, Huang Ziwen as the commander-in-chief, and more than 30 members.

From February to September, this peasant armed force was active in Wuzi and Xinzi districts of Sanyuan and Dancun in Fuping Shichuan Hexi. Wang Houan, the former head of the militia group who destroyed the Wuzi District Farmers Association, Li Zhitai, the head of Wuzi District, and Wang Bozhe, the head of the militia group in Wuzi District.
