Chapter 2 2. Cruel attack, the ulterior motive is not in Luo Ming, but in Mao Zedong

After the Ningdu Conference, Mao Zedong was deprived of military power.For the "left" leaders, this is a crucial step.However, they also understood that Mao Zedong had painstakingly managed the Central Soviet Area for many years, and his ideas were not only deeply rooted in the Red Army, but also local.In order to carry out the line of the interim central government in the Soviet area, Mao Zedong's local supporters and supporters must also be eliminated. Bogu chose Luo Ming, the acting secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee.Take him for the first time! Luo Ming, who is worthy of the interim general secretary of the Central Committee to go to war?

Luo Ming, a native of Dapu, Guangdong, was originally named Luo Shanpei. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1925, and in January 1927, he served as secretary of the temporary special committee of the Communist Party of China in southern Fujian.The Nanchang Uprising troops went south via Shanghang, Fujian, and Luo Ming went to meet them.Zhou Enlai and Zhu De instructed him to raise supplies and cooperate with the rebel army to fight.After the August 7th meeting, especially when he learned that Mao Zedong and Zhu De had established a rural revolutionary base in Jinggangshan, he immediately followed suit and established rural bases in Shanghang, Yongding, Longyan, Pinghe and other counties. In February 1928, Luo Ming went to Xiamen to serve as the secretary of the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.In April of the same year, he went to Moscow to attend the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In November, he returned from Moscow and went deep into western Fujian to carry out guerrilla warfare more actively and expand the guerrilla area.

In January 1929, Mao Zedong and Zhu De marched to southern Jiangxi and western Fujian to open up new bases.From then on, Luo Ming belonged to Mao Zedong.His guerrillas in western Fujian developed into the main force of the Red Army; guerrilla areas such as Shanghang, Yongding, and Longyan became revolutionary bases.In western Fujian, a new situation has emerged.In the practice of revolutionary struggle, Luo Ming realized the correctness of Mao Zedong's line and became a firm supporter, supporter and executor of Mao Zedong's line. In June 1930, the central government implemented the "Li San Line".In order to achieve "the first victory in one province and several provinces", he desperately ordered the Red Army everywhere to aim at capturing big cities.The Soviet Area in western Fujian under the leadership of Zhu Mao was placed under the leadership of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee.Luo Ming received an order from the central government to lead the main force of the Red Army in West Fujian to attack Dongjiang in Guangdong.Representatives from western Fujian and the head of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee who attended the preparatory meeting of the National Congress of Soviets held in Shanghai came back to convey the spirit of the central government and demanded that the central line be resolutely implemented.Luo Ming objected, believing that the labor movement in Xiamen and Fuzhou was recovering, and that he did not agree to launch armed riots in the cities, to transfer the Soviet area in western Fujian to Guangdong, and to drag the main force of the Red Army to fight against the Dongjiang River.Several disagreed and sang against the central government.Li Lisan was furious after reading Luo Ming's report, accusing the Fujian Provincial Party Committee of being "rightist and conservative."

In January 1931, Luo Ming was ordered to go to Shanghai to wait for the central government to assign work.At this time, the Fourth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had just concluded, and Wang Ming and Bogu took the stage.Zhang Wentian, head of the interim Central Propaganda Department, talked to Luo Ming and said: "The Fujian Provincial Party Committee has adopted some excessively leftist practices influenced by the 'Lisan Line'. It is not a big mistake. The serious thing is that your Fujian Provincial Party Committee has committed a rightward deviation. Wrong, engage in guerrilla warfare in the countryside! If you admit that the line is wrong, the central government will assign you a job; if you don’t admit your mistake, the central government will not assign you a job.”

Luo Ming's position remained the same, so naturally he was not entrusted with important tasks to stay in the central government, but was sent back to Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi to appoint the head of the organization. After Lu Deguang, secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, absconded with a huge sum of money, Mao Zedong, secretary of the Front Committee of the Red Army, appointed Luo Ming as the temporary secretary of the provincial Party committee. In March 1932, at the Party Congress of the Soviet Area of ​​Fujian Province, Luo Ming was once again elected as the acting secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

Worshiping Mao Zedong, keen to engage in guerrilla warfare, this is Luo Ming!No wonder Bogu wanted to take him first.At this time, Mao Zedong left the Red Army and came to Fu Lianjun's Gospel Hospital in Tingzhou, Fujian Province to recuperate. Coincidentally, Luo Ming was also here for treatment.In April of this year, Luo Ming was coordinating with Central Red.When the main force of the army attacked Zhangzhou, he fell and hurt his waist, and he went to the hospital for surgery. It was a blessing in disguise. Luo Ming was admitted to the same hospital as Mao Zedong, whom he admired. It was a rare opportunity to meet Mao Zedong again.At this time, the fourth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression" was in full swing.Chiang Kai-shek personally led an army of 500,000 troops, and had already pushed to the north gate of the Central Soviet Area, seeking to fight the Red Army.

People are "resting" and their minds are on war.Mao Zedong was concerned about the front line and the fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" war. Luo Ming often went to Mao Zedong's room to sit and chat.One day, Mao Zedong talked with Luo Ming for a whole morning. Mao Zedong said: "We fought many battles with Chiang Kai-shek. He failed in the first, second, and third times of 'encirclement and suppression', but we won. We have accumulated a lot of experience. Practice has proved that these experiences are correct, such as Lure the enemy to go deep, concentrate superior forces, select the enemy's weaknesses, carry out individual defeats, and eliminate the enemy's vital forces, etc." Mao Zedong wrung his fingers and summed up in detail the victorious experience of several counter-"encirclement and suppression" operations.

"Fujian is the same as Jiangxi." Mao Zedong gradually shifted the topic to the work that Luo Ming was in charge of. "We should step up extensive local guerrilla warfare to cooperate with the main force of the Red Army in mobile warfare. In the old Soviet areas of Shanghang, Yongding, and Longyan, extensive mass mass Guerrilla warfare, containing and attacking the 19th Route Army of the Kuomintang and Chen Jitang's troops of the Cantonese Army, defending the rear of the Central Soviet Area, smashing the enemy's fourth 'encirclement and suppression'..." Mao Zedong talked about everything he thought of, and he talked for a long time, a lot.

Luo Ming listened, and then simply took out a pen and paper, and wrote down Mao Zedong's words.He felt that what Mao Zedong said was right and very important, and other comrades in the provincial party committee should know about it and implement it in the work of the provincial party committee. Early the next morning, Luo Ming couldn't wait any longer, and bid farewell to Mao Zedong in a hurry before his injury healed. Back at the Provincial Party Committee, Luo Ming immediately held a meeting and conveyed Mao Zedong's instructions exactly.Liu Xiao, Zhang Dingcheng, Tan Zhenlin, Li Mingguang, Guo Diren, Li Jianzhen and other party, government and military leaders unanimously supported and supported Mao Zedong's proposition.

After the meeting, Luo Ming, as a special commissioner of the provincial party committee, went to Shanghang, Yongding, and Longyan to lead the guerrilla warfare. The provincial party committee was chaired by Liu Xiao, the head of the organization. Luo Ming traveled to Changting, Xinquan, Shanghang, Yongding and other counties, and held enlarged meetings of the county party committees, conveying Mao Zedong's instructions to local cadres, inspecting and deploying work.Subsequently, He Fangfang, Tan Zhenlin and others established the Front Enemy Committee on the Hangzhou, Yong, and Yan fronts to specifically lead political mobilization and military operations.

The Fujian Provincial Party Committee followed Mao Zedong's tactics in such a way that it ignored the new instructions and new spirit of the interim Central Committee, which naturally aroused great dissatisfaction and anger from the "Left" leaders.As soon as Bogu arrived in western Fujian, he felt that the "air" was not right, and when he saw Luo Ming, he became angry. In January 1933, Fu Gu passed through Baisha Village in Shanghang, Fujian Province on his way from Shanghai to Ruijin. The person in charge of the secret traffic station told him that Luo Ming, acting secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, was also here. Bo Gu was very surprised and asked, "What is Luo Ming doing here?" "Presiding over the Committee of Front Enemies, it's been a long time!" "Nonsense." Bogu felt uncomfortable when he heard it, "Go and find Luo Ming." Luo Ming didn't know that Bogu and others arrived in Baisha.Hearing that the general secretary was coming, he hurried to Bogu's place. Luo Ming was very excited to see Bo Gu.Although the general secretary is four or five years younger than himself, Luo Ming is still respectful.As soon as he sat down, Luo Ming was ready to report on the work of Minxi in detail. Before Luo Ming could speak, Bogu asked solemnly: "Comrade Luo Ming, you are the acting secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and you are not leading the work of the whole province in the Provincial Party Committee. What are you doing here in Hangyongyan? What's the matter with the Front Enemy Committee?" Without thinking about it, Luo Ming brought out Mao Zedong. "We followed Chairman Mao's instructions." Seeing that Bo Gu was at a loss, Luo Ming hurriedly explained: "It was Comrade Mao Zedong's instructions, which were decided at a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee. The Front Enemy Committee mainly led the guerrilla warfare in western Fujian..." "Guerrilla warfare?" Bogu frowned again. He was obviously not happy to hear this word, and he was even more dissatisfied that even provincial leaders were so keen on Mao Zedong's tricks.The interim central government has already implemented the new principle of warfare, that is, the offensive line, but the lower levels are still talking about guerrilla warfare. "What's your opinion on the new spirit of the central government?" Bogu asked again.He didn't specifically refer to any aspect of the spirit of the new directive, thinking that it was already well known. Luo Ming was a little puzzled, he hesitated: "New spirit?... haven't heard the message yet." Bogu was quite displeased.A dignified secretary of the provincial party committee does not know the spirit of the latest instructions from the central government. "What do you think about the current struggle and how should we lead it?" Bogu asked another ambiguous question.This question can be answered from two aspects: the struggle between the Communist Party and the Kuomintang, or the struggle between the two lines within the Communist Party.Obviously, Bogu refers to the latter.This can detect whether a person's political sense is sensitive and where he stands. Luo Ming failed to understand the true meaning of the young superior, and blurted out: "The revolutionary war in the Soviet area must be combined with the struggle in the White area. The Soviet Central Government and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission are very clear about the three conditions of resistance to Japan, democracy, and the cessation of attacks on the Soviet area. We We must unite with the main forces of all parties, armies, and localities to jointly resist Japan..." "Okay, okay." Bogu waved his hands impatiently: "Let's stop talking, let's eat!" The first meeting between Luo Ming and the General Secretary of the Central Committee, the first conversation broke up unhappy.Luo Ming left a deep impression on Bogu: Too right! Soon, an order was sent from Ruijin to the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, ordering Luo Ming to immediately correct his mistakes, completely change the "retreatism" guerrilla tactics, and implement the new central principle of attack. The Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Luo Ming did not implement Bogu's offensive line. After Bogu arrived in Ruijin, it was at the moment of the fourth decisive battle against "encirclement and suppression". In order to implement the offensive line and change from passive to active, the temporary central government put forward the slogan of "expanding the Red Army by one million". The order fell like a mountain.The movement to expand the popularity of the entire Central Soviet Area was in full swing.The Western Fujian Soviet Area led by Luo Ming was rigidly assigned 3,000 to 5,000 quotas for red expansion.Due to time constraints, the Hangyongyan area was forced to send independent regiments, battalions, companies, and companies with guns from counties and districts to the main Red Army. All the local armed forces were taken away, and it was too late to replenish, and the enemy took the opportunity to attack on a large scale.The Soviet area in western Fujian was burned, killed and looted by the enemy again, and suffered heavy losses, causing great panic among the masses.The cadres and masses in the Soviet Area in western Fujian have great opinions on this practice of reorganizing local armed forces and expanding the main Red Army. In response to the actual situation in western Fujian, on January 21, 1933, Luo Ming wrote a letter to the Provincial Party Committee in Xinquan, namely "Several Opinions on Work".Then he wrote the "Report to the Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee on the Situation of Hangyongyan", which was forwarded to the Central Committee by the Provincial Party Committee. Coincidentally, Yang Wenzhong, secretary of the Xinquan County Party Committee in western Fujian, also wrote a letter of opinion to the Provincial Party Committee. Luo and Yang's report was quickly submitted to the Central Committee by the Provincial Party Committee. The reports of Luo Ming and Yang Wenzhong believed that it would be difficult to expand the main force of the Red Army in western Fujian and complete the tasks stipulated by the Central Committee, but only to expand the guerrillas.Because the masses want to protect their hometown and are willing to join the guerrillas, they are less willing to join the main force of the Red Army and leave their hometown.This depressed mood among the masses must be lifted by our artistically organized victorious armed struggle. Luo Ming emphasized: "If we don't focus on our weakest point, concentrate more forces, cooperate well, and develop armed struggle, then invite our best leaders Chairman Mao, Chairman Xiang, Comrade Zhou Enlai, Ren Bishi Comrade, or go to the Soviet Union to invite Comrade Stalin or Lenin to be resurrected, go to Shangxiaxinan together, or go to other places to give speeches to the masses for three days and three nights, and strengthen political propaganda, I don’t think it will be able to completely change the mood of the masses.” In the letter, Luo Ming suggested: "Merge the eastern part of Changting, the southern part of Liancheng, and Xinquan County together. The first purpose is to cooperate with the northward development of the Jiangxi Soviet Area and break the enemy's 'encirclement and suppression'; The third is to consolidate the rear so that Hangyongyan will not be isolated." Luo Ming said in the letter: "I support, communicate and implement Comrade Mao Zedong's instructions on establishing, consolidating and expanding rural revolutionary base areas and the struggle against 'encirclement and suppression'. Practice has proved that the three anti-'encirclement and suppression' campaigns summarized by Mao Zedong Xiangzhi The experience of the war and the instruction on the fourth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression"—to carry out extensive guerrilla warfare and cooperate with the mobile warfare of the main force of the Red Army so that the main force of the Red Army can concentrate superior forces and defeat the enemy one by one—are completely correct. Hang Yongyan in the second During the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, under the influence of "Left" adventurism, the tactics of dividing troops into guards were adopted, so that they were forced to withdraw from Hugang. Comrade Mao Zedong's instructions and deployment work have achieved many victories. In late January 1933, the guerrilla warfare of the masses in Liancheng cooperated with the mobile warfare of the main force of the Central Red Army, and wiped out a brigade of the 19th Route Army of the Kuomintang from Zhangzhou via Longyan to Liancheng in Xiangkou. , which fully proves the correctness of Comrade Mao Zedong's instructions. "We have summarized the situation and victorious experience of guerrilla warfare carried out in the Hang, Yong, and Yan areas in the past five months. The main one is the use of the sixteen-character tactics of guerrilla warfare, which has achieved three major victories." The so-called sixteen-character decision, that is, "when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, and when the enemy retreats, we pursue." This was Mao Zedong's creation when he was in Jinggangshan. Luo Ming's report was written openly to the Provincial Party Committee and the Central Committee, which is legal in terms of organizational procedures; the contents of the report and opinions are also based on facts.Therefore, Luo Ming has fulfilled the duties of a party member and a subordinate.However, these opinions are against the provisional central government headed by Bogu.Bogu couldn't tolerate it anyway. After reading Luo Ming's opinion letter, Bogu was very angry. He said at the central meeting: "This is pessimism and disappointment with the revolution. It is opportunism, liquidationism, and the route of escape and retreat. It can be said that this is a complete Luo Ming line. The formation of this line has its long-standing historical and social roots. The provincial party committee must carry out an organizational struggle against Luo Ming’s line.” The "Luo Ming line" that Bogu refers to essentially refers to the "Mao Zedong line."Intimidated by Mao Zedong's status, prestige, influence and the attitude of the Communist International, Bogu is inconvenient to publicly name Mao Zedong. In February 1933, under the mobilization of Bogu, an "anti-Luo Ming line" struggle was vigorously launched in the Central Soviet Area and adjacent Soviet Areas. On February 15, 1933, the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area of ​​the Communist Party of China made the "Decision on the Provincial Committee of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi". The "Decision" pointed out: "The Provincial Party Committee is in a very serious state. Among a small number of comrades in the Provincial Party Committee, an opportunist line headed by Comrade Luo Ming has obviously formed. This line is very important for the current revolutionary situation. The estimates were pessimistic, and they were flustered by the enemy's large-scale attack. They advocated that the party should abandon this Soviet base area and retreat to the rear. This line even openly moved towards the liquidationist road of liquidation of the party and mass revolutionary organizations. For this reason, the Central Bureau decided to immediately launch a struggle within the party against the opportunist line represented by Comrade Luo Ming." On February 16, Bo Gu personally made a political report at the Fourth Graduate Party and Youth League Meeting of the Red Army School. Bogut declared: "In our party (unfortunately, even among the party's leading comrades), there are elements who shake the cowardly and unscrupulous petty bourgeoisie, under the influence of class enemies, and fully expose the pessimism. , the mood of retreat and flight, so that they formed their own opportunist liquidationist escape and retreat line, resisted the party's offensive line, and hindered the party's Bolshevik mobilization of the masses. The most obvious representative of this opportunist line of retreat, They are Comrade Luo Ming, Acting Secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, and Comrade Yang Wenzhong, Secretary of the Xinquan County Party Committee.” Bogu also called on: "Every Chinese Bolshevik should unite around the Communist International and the party's offensive line, use ten times more hard work, ten times firmer, ten times more active, and courageously overcome the opportunism in their own ranks. ... We are not only fighters with guns in hand to defend the Agrarian Revolution and the development of the Soviet movement, but also resolute fighters who support the party's offensive line. From now on we will fight for the party's line even more resolutely and actively The Provincial Party Committee" "is the most harmful and decadent liberalism", "supports the party's line incompletely", "has completely become a prisoner of the opportunist retreat line", "more or less feels the mistakes of Comrade Luo Ming, Yang Wenzhong, etc. Criticized them here and there, but lacked the thoroughness and firmness of the Bolsheviks who fought for the party line, and therefore committed many very serious opportunistic mistakes in practical work." On February 20, the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area of ​​the Communist Party of Shaoxing also issued the "Resolution on Launching the Struggle against the Luo Ming Line", deciding to reorganize the Fujian Youth League Provincial Committee, and at the same time carry out the struggle against the Luo Ming Line within the Soviet Area League system. The central government made a decision, Bogu made a report, and the Party Central Committee's publication "Struggle" published a criticism of Wenzhang. The "anti-Luo Ming line" was vigorous and powerful. However, Luo Ming, who was the "leader" of this line, didn't know it at all.The start of this struggle was sudden, and no one in the Central Committee talked to Luo Ming.It wasn't until Luo Ming returned to Shanghang from Xinquan and saw the articles in "Struggle" that he was shocked: a struggle to criticize himself was launched within the party. After receiving the notice, Luo Ming hurried back to Tingzhou, where the Provincial Party Committee is located. On the way, I happened to meet Zhang Dingcheng, chairman of the provincial Soviet government, who came from Tingzhou. Luo Ming asked: "Dingcheng, what mistake did I make, and "Struggle" publishes articles criticizing it?" "The central government said that we made a wrong line, that we didn't expand the Red Army, and only focused on guerrilla warfare. It seems that the situation is very fierce. The Central Bureau of the Soviet Area sent people to the provincial party committee, saying that we would personally grasp this struggle." Zhang Dingcheng said. Luo Ming was very angry.The two were relatively silent.When Luo Ming returned to Tingzhou, he was notified again and rushed to Ruijin overnight for inspection. As soon as Luo Ming arrived in Ruijin, several people in charge of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area talked to him and criticized his "mistakes". Of course, Luo Ming refused to accept it, and fought hard with reason, and made due appeals and defenses for himself and the provincial party committee. Luo Fu (Zhang Wentian), the person in charge of the Central Committee, talked to him.Luo Fu said: "The central government proposed an offensive line, but you sang the opposite tune and retreated and fled." "I didn't run away." Luo Ming argued, "I proposed the establishment of the Front Enemy Committee, and the Provincial Party Committee agreed. I rushed from Tingzhou to the most difficult border area to carry out guerrilla warfare. How could I retreat and escape?" Luo Fu did not allow Luo Ming to argue, and said: "From the point of view of the route, it means retreating and fleeing. Looking at the problem from a dialectical point of view, guerrilla warfare was necessary in the past, but now it is wrong to engage in guerrilla warfare. It is an out-and-out guerrilla warfare." doctrine." Luo Fu turned the topic to the expansion of the Red Army: "You said that the peripheral counties cannot expand the Red Army like the central area. This is actually a local conservatism, narrow empiricism, and a rich peasant line." "This is not the line of the rich peasants. This is what our meeting of the poor peasants in Jinsha Township, Yongding County summed up. It is a lesson learned by the blood of the poor and hired peasants." Luo Ming's voice was a little excited, and he had to quote Lenin's quotations: "The political experience of the masses themselves is the The fundamental law of all great revolutions." Bo Gu was very annoyed when he heard that Luo Ming used the quotations of the great teacher Lenin to defend himself: "What does Luo Ming know about Marxism-Leninism!" When Bogu found Luo Ming, he immediately said: "You made a wrong line, didn't conduct a thorough review, and quoted Lenin's quotations to prove your correctness! How many books have you read by Marx? How many books by Lenin have you read? How did Lenin discuss rich peasants? What? Can you explain this truth?" Bogu went on to say: "What kind of Marxism-Leninism is there in your valley? Marxism-Leninism can only be born in the ranks of the proletariat in big cities. In rural areas, only the petty bourgeoisie can be produced, and the petty bourgeoisie and the proletariat are incompatible. Your The mistake is right here." Having said that, Bo Gu raised his voice: "There are leaders who are higher than you and made the same mistake!" Obviously, Bo Gu was referring to Mao Zedong.The most intolerable thing for Bogu is that Luo Ming even listed Mao Zedong as the first "best leader" and compared Mao Zedong with Stalin and even Lenin. In Bogu's view, Mao Zedong had never been abroad, did not know foreign languages, and had never been to the hometown of Marx and Lenin.Once, Bogu and Wang Jiaxiang played table tennis at the Shazhouba Central Bureau residence in Ruijin.Mao Zedong came to borrow Marxist-Leninist works from Bogu, because someone once said that he did not understand Marxist-Leninist theory.Bo Gu lent Mao Zedong a copy of Engels's "German and French Peasant Questions".Mao Zedong went out while flipping through the pages.Bogu said to Wang Jiaxiang mockingly: "Look, Lao Mao also wants to study Marxism-Leninism?" Bogu's rebuke became more intense and contemptuous: "Why do you compare Mao Zedong with Stalin? How can this be compared? As a Bolshevik, I have no common sense at all!" Luo Ming's comparison was later satirized and abused by the central organ publication "Struggle": "Attempting to compare Luo Ming with Stalin is to compare a dog with a tiger. They also feel that they are neither fish nor fowl!" expose. During Luo Ming's stay in Ruijin, there were one criticism meeting after another.During the day, the mid-level cadres held a meeting to approve; at night, the general cadres held a meeting to approve, and the approval went on for several days in a row. One night, in a big house in Yeping Village of the Central Bureau where Luo Ming lived, the Central Bureau mobilized hundreds of people to participate in a meeting against Luo Ming.As soon as Luo Ming entered the venue, he felt the atmosphere tense.Slogans were shouted loudly, and scary slogans were plastered all over the walls.The speaker's voice was sharp and he spoke at length. When it was Luo Ming's turn to do the examination, he couldn't bear it anymore and argued a few words. "It's too rampant, it's too arrogant, it's hopeless!" Someone shouted with righteous indignation.Another young cadre shouted: "If you don't plead guilty, you will be dragged out and shot!" For a while, the venue was chaotic. Yang Shangkun, vice principal of the Party School of the Central Bureau, hurried onto the stage and shouted repeatedly: "Everyone, be quiet, don't get excited." After some explanations, it calmed people's hearts and eased the atmosphere. Mao Zedong happened to be in Yeping when Luo Ming was criticized for being "bruised to pieces" in Yeping, Ruijin. In mid-February, after he was discharged from the Gospel Hospital, he returned to the seat of the central government after several mediations by Zhou Enlai. At that time, when the central government came, Mao Zedong was full of expectations, but unexpectedly, he was now facing an even more embarrassing and embarrassing situation.Hope turned into melancholy. On February 24, under the high pressure of the interim central government, the Fujian provincial party committee had no choice but to make the "Provincial Party Committee's Resolution on (Central Bureau's Decision on the Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi Provincial Committee's Decision)", and was forced to accept the central government's unfair accusations. "All agreed" with the Central Committee's estimate of the Provincial Party Committee, and determined to "quickly launch the struggle against the Luo Ming line." On February 28, according to the decision of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area, the Fujian Provincial Party Committee held a temporary congress in Changting City to publicly criticize Luo Ming.The Central Bureau sent Luo Fu and Chen Shouchang to participate in the meeting. The venue was located in the Longyan Guild Hall on Chengshuidong Street, Changting County. More than 200 people attended the meeting.The meeting was held for three full days.The Fujian Branch of the State Political Security Bureau sent people to set up a special alert. The conference criticized Luo Ming.According to the meaning of the Central Committee, Luo Ming vaguely "reviewed".For most of the participants, they didn't know what line struggle was at all, they only knew that what the central government said was wrong must be wrong. When specific issues were involved in the meeting, the Criticism Committee began to diverge, and representatives from all over the country discussed and disagreed. Yang Wenzhong, secretary of the Xinquan County Party Committee, who also wrote an opinion report to the provincial Party committee, said: "Xinquan was mobilized urgently after Comrade Luo Ming conveyed Comrade Mao Zedong's instructions, launched guerrilla warfare, and repelled the enemy's attack. Otherwise, the Xinquan base area would be destroyed. cannot be consolidated." The representative of Shanghang made a speech: "Mao Zedong's call for guerrilla warfare is correct. When we fight guerrilla warfare, we win the battle and fight out of the Soviet area." The representative of Yongding said: "We have mobilized the masses, and we have reconnaissance and estimation of the time, place, and strength of each enemy's attack. The deployment of attacking the enemy is very detailed. In guerrilla warfare, we know where the enemy is, and the enemy is looking for us. It's like finding a needle in a haystack..." Before representative Rong Yongding could finish speaking, Luo Fu interrupted: "Estimating the enemy is the common sense of the general staff, and there is no experience to speak of." He felt that if he continued to speak freely, the criticism would not only go off topic , and it may also become a defense meeting of Luo Ming's line. When Luo Fu came, he already had the Central Committee's decision in his pocket.He hastily summed up the meeting, saying: "Because Luo Ming made a serious line error and went against the central offensive line, after research, it was decided to remove him from the position of acting secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee." The revocation of the position of acting secretary of the Luo Ming Provincial Party Committee was already expected, and the general secretary made a report and named him.Before this meeting, the Provincial Party Committee had heard rumors.But Yang Wenzhong was also labeled as a person of Luo Ming's line, which was not expected by everyone. Luo Fu continued to read the decision of the central government: "Because the Secretary of the Xinquan County Party Committee, Yang Wenzhong, had a small organization with Luo Ming, and also made a serious mistake in the line. He is one of the representatives of the Luo Ming line. After research, it was decided to revoke his position as Secretary of the Xinquan County Party Committee. .” At the same time that Luo Ming wrote a letter of opinion to the Provincial Party Committee and the Central Committee, Yang Wenzhong also wrote a letter to the Provincial Party Committee.Bogu believes that Luo Ming and Yang Wenzhong jointly launched an attack on the central government, and there is a "small organization".In fact, Luo Ming didn't even know that Yang Wenzhong wrote to the provincial party committee. According to the decision of the central government, the Fujian provincial party committee was reorganized, and Chen Shouchang was appointed secretary of the provincial party committee.Luo Ming and Yang Wenzhong were sent to the Ruijin Central Bureau Party School to study. Luo Ming was knocked down and criticized, but Bogu did not stop there. He said: "There is not only one Luo Ming in the Soviet area, there are many. This struggle must be carried out in a long-term, deep and extensive way." In June 1933, the enlarged meeting of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the Party Congress of the military region were held simultaneously.The theme of the meeting is still to liquidate the Luo Ming line.The first to bear the brunt were Tan Zhenlin, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and political commissar of the military region, and Zhang Dingcheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial Soviet Government, and other comrades-in-arms who shared life and death with Luo Ming. At the enlarged meeting of the Provincial Party Committee on June 12, the person in charge of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area stated in his opening remarks: "Tan Zhenlin is Comrade Luo Ming's good apprentice, an opportunist with back pain and weak feet..." Like Luo Ming, Tan Zhenlin not only refused to admit his "mistakes", but instead spoke eloquently, saying: "When we were in Jinggangshan, we fought guerrilla warfare. From having no bases, we fought six counties on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi. In the Central Soviet Area, we Still relying on guerrilla warfare, dozens of counties were fought, and the Red Army grew to tens of thousands of people. Without guerrilla warfare, there would be no base areas today. Is this opportunism? Is it a retreat and escape route?" Tan Zhenlin wrote again and submitted a "Written Statement" to the Provincial Party Committee, further explaining that Mao Zedong's guerrilla warfare tactics were correct from the perspective of strategy and tactics. After Bogu read the "Written Statement", he was furious and said: "The Fujian Provincial Party Committee will severely criticize this black material." Chen Shouchang, who succeeded Luo Ming as secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, personally rushed to write a long article "Struggle to Strengthen the Party's Leadership in the Revolutionary War", which was published in the magazine of the Fujian Military Region.At the same time, he also specifically guided and planned several criticism meetings.Chen Shouchang spoke harshly and said: "Tan Zhenlin's practice of luring the enemy deep and destroying them one by one is a purely defensive line. It is wavering before the event, retreating and timid, lagging behind the times and the rapid development of the revolutionary war, and hindering the realization of our task of creating an iron Red Army. We must carry forward the firepower of the anti-Luo Ming line struggle and give him a blow to wake him up." Soon, Tan Zhenlin was dismissed from all posts in the military region and transferred to Ruijin Party School to study. The struggle to expose and criticize the "anti-Romin line" in the provincial Soviet system was also in full swing.Zhang Dingcheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and chairman of the Provincial Soviet Union, was picked out as a representative of Luo Ming's line. Zhang Dingcheng refused to make a review, but instead said that the "anti-Luo Ming line" was wrong. The representative of the central government was very angry, pointed at Zhang Dingcheng's nose and reprimanded: "You Zhang Dingcheng, the central government has educated you again and again, but you just don't change, you still insist on mistakes, engage in opportunism, and engage in bureaucracy." The representative of the Central Committee further sternly said at the criticism meeting of the provincial and Soviet organs: "Comrades! We will deal a merciless blow to Zhang Dingcheng's opportunism and bureaucracy, and smash them with an iron fist..." According to the decision of the central government, Zhang Dingcheng was dismissed from his posts as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial Soviet Government, and sent to study at the Ruijin Central Bureau Party School. During the Fujian meeting in June, in addition to Tan Zhenlin and Zhang Dingcheng, Guo Diren, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Vice Chairman of the Provincial Soviet Union, was said to be a supporter of Luo Ming's line and fought against him.Li Mingguang, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Minister of Propaganda and Director of the Political Department of the Military Region, was unwilling to "anti-Luo Ming line" on the front line of Liancheng, and did not dare to carry out guerrilla warfare. He died heroically in the desperate fight with the superior enemy.Fan Lechun, Minister of Land of Jiangsu Province, You Duanxuan, Minister of Military Affairs of Jiangsu Province, Huo Buqing and Yang Hairu of the Provincial Military Region, Fang Fang, Secretary of Shanghang Central County Party Committee, Li Jianzhen, Secretary of Changting County Party Committee, Chen Yumei, Secretary of Wuping County Party Committee, Luo Lushan and Guan Kunlin of Yongding County Party Committee, Tingdong County Party Committee Chen Yuzhen, Xiong Dingzhou, etc. were attacked to varying degrees, or criticized, or transferred, or dismissed. In this "anti-Luo Ming line" struggle, the provisional central government also implemented a sectarian organizational line - a major reorganization, a major change of blood - attacking and replacing leading cadres at the party, government, and military levels in Fujian from the province to the county .Under the slogan of "intensifying and deepening the struggle against the Luo Ming line", almost all the relatively high-level and relatively old cadres in Fujian Province were not spared. The cruel and ruthless "anti-Luo Ming line" struggle initiated by the Provisional Central Committee lasted for more than a year in the Central Soviet Area until the Red Army's Long March. However, history is so dramatic. Bo Gu, the chief director of the "Anti-Luo Ming Line", made a candid dissection twelve years later: "The struggle against Luo Ming's line in the Soviet area was actually against Mao Zedong's correct line and style of work in the Soviet area. This struggle expanded to the entire Central Soviet area. And in the surrounding Soviet areas, there are the Luoming routes in Fujian, the Luoming routes in Jiangxi, the Luoming routes in Fujian and Jiangxi, the Luoming routes in Hunan and Jiangxi, and so on.” This is Bogu's speech at the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Yan'an on May 3, 1945-a deep reflection and a thorough review. History has finally brought a just end to this brutal intra-party struggle. "Red Army Characters" introduces Luo Ming's later life in this way-participating in the Long March in October 1934.After the Zunyi meeting, he served as the head of the local work department of the Red Army.

In the summer of 1946, he went to Singapore to teach. In June 1949, he returned to China and participated in revolutionary work.After the liberation of the whole country, he successively served as the vice president of Southern University, the president of Guangdong Institute for Nationalities, and the director of Guangdong Civil Affairs Commission.
