Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Revolt, the guns and spears of the whole country are bleeding

The Yangtze River is like training.The riverboat going upstream is like a small black beetle, slowly crawling on top of Bailian. Chen Duxiu sat alone on the bow deck, looking at the oncoming spring water.The sunlight on the surface of the river is flickering in small fragments, like the surge of countless small fish.In Chen Duxiu's mind at the moment, there are also countless fish jumping in piles. Chen Duxiu left Shanghai a week before Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 coup. He went to Wuhan to preside over the work of the Provisional Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China.Comrades, it's phone calls and telegrams, so I must urge him to go earlier.On the way up the river by boat, Chen Duxiu really thought a lot.He never expected that Chiang Kai-shek would wield the butcher's knife a week later.He only thought of the friendly meeting he had with Wang Jingwei who had just returned to China two days ago.

He felt that Wang Jingwei's hands were soft, soft and white, probably because of the French skin care products he had used for more than half a year. The atmosphere of the talks was very harmonious.The "Wang-Chen Joint Declaration" they published was also limp. This manifesto has great illusions about Chiang Kai-shek, saying that all the rumors of alienating the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are rumors.Due to the signing of this "Declaration", when Chen Duxiu left Shanghai, he was not in a particularly irritable mood.He just thought that Zhou Enlai's complexion was not very good-looking, but that's okay, this young comrade is like this, he thought.

He just misses his close friend Li Dazhao very anxiously.In the early morning of the second day after the "Wang-Chen Joint Declaration" was published, Li Dazhao was arrested by Zhang Zuolin's army in Beijing. According to incomplete information obtained by Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao was arrested in an old barracks in the West Court of the Soviet Embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane, Beijing.Chen Duxiu was skeptical about this news at first, because he couldn't imagine how a large group of Fengjun military police in gray uniforms and long leather boots, and the policemen in black uniforms from the Jingshi Police Department, would be like a cloud of gray, black and black. Like sewage, it climbed over the embassy wall and submerged a dilapidated one-story house where Li Dazhao took refuge temporarily.Li Dazhao avoided the embassy because of the tight rumors before his death, and Chen Duxiu knew about it.However, the height of the embassy's wall was lower than Zhang Zuolin's military boots, which shocked Chen Duxiu.

Li Dazhao, who was wearing a gray cotton gown and a blue mandarin jacket, stumbled away from the embassy under the forcible twisting of seven or eight pairs of arms.No matter how strongly the Soviet side protested, the Feng Faction warlords still forcibly seized the northern leadership of the KMT and the Communist Party located in the Soviet embassy in China.It seemed that it was a matter of time before Li Dazhao suffered a fatal blow.Because he led the revolutionary struggle in northern China in a down-to-earth manner, actively developed the Communist Party organization, vigorously promoted the peasant movement in Zhili, Shanxi, Rehe, Inner Mongolia and other places, and worked hard to instigate rebellion in the army, he has long been regarded by the warlords as A thorn in my side.

Li Dazhao's hands were tightly tied to the wooden frame, forming a cross shape.The torture chamber of the Jingshi Police Department in Beijing has always treated criminals in this way.At this time, Chen Duxiu, who was sailing upstream on the Yangtze River, could not imagine the pain Li Dazhao suffered. A high-ranking Fengjun official held a tray, and gloomyly bowed to Li Dazhao, who was covered in bruises.He strongly smelled the bloody smell emanating from Li Dazhao's neck. Inside the tray are ten sharpened bamboo sticks. "Mr. Li, please open your eyes. There are ten bamboo sticks here. Do you see them? Each bamboo stick is three centimeters long, and the head is sharply cut. Did Mr. Li see it?"

Li Dazhao did not speak.I don't know if his eyes are open or not. "I believe Mr. Li sees it clearly. However, what these ten bamboo sticks are, it is up to Mr. Li to decide. There is a possibility that they are bargaining chips. Mr. Li can use them in exchange for his own freedom. You can also change your official position. Our Marshal Zhang still cherishes talents very much. There are still many official positions in the Beijing government that cannot be filled by young talents. There is also a possibility that these bamboo sticks are instruments of torture. They can drill into your fingernails Go through the cracks and make your fingers twice as long, what will it look like? It’s like a Bodhisattva with ten pointed fingers, but the taste in it is not as interesting as a Bodhisattva. Mr. Li, it’s onion It's garlic, it all depends on your words!"

Li Dazhao suddenly smiled.He struggled when he grinned. "Yes, tell me quickly! I know you understand everything I said!" "A man was born in the world," Li Dazhao raised his blood-stained face, his eyes were sharp, and his words were clear. "It is better to use coarse cloth to keep out the cold, eat dinner as meat, and walk as a car, even if you lose your head and bleed, you must also maintain the integrity of the nation! You must not go begging for leftovers from traitor warlords for food and clothing, and be shameless accomplices and slaves !" The Fengjun officer put the tray down and said to the executioner: "Amitabha, let Mr. Li be a Bodhisattva with ten pointed fingers!"

The officer walked out of the torture room slowly, and before he pushed open the heavy iron door, he heard blunt knocking behind him and the sudden screams of the tortured. The officer trembled all over, and quickly quickened his pace. But those who really tremble deep in their hearts are the Communists and the workers and peasants in the north.The torture was applied to Li Dazhao, and they couldn't help but hurt their hearts and lungs.People from all walks of life were also voices for help, and protest calls and call calls were sent to Beijing like snowflakes from all over the country.The railway workers in Beijing proposed to rescue Li Dazhao by robbing the prison, and organized a prison robbing team for this purpose.

The workers' prison robbery team was established on the basis of blood.According to the bloody fingerprints, the workers said: "Mr. Li is the benefactor of our workers, and we will do our best to save him. If Mr. Li can't be robbed, we twenty-four men would rather die in prison!" "No," said a worker, "Even if we die on the ground, Mr. Li will walk out of the prison on our dead bodies!" Then, the worker in a black cloth coat bit his finger, and pressed his bloody handprint on a piece of white paper with the words "save people with death". "This life is not in vain!" said another worker as he pressed his bloody handprint.

A total of twenty-four bloody handprints, the white paper is bloody.Three days later, this bloody piece of paper was hidden under a tin lunch box and handed to Li Dazhao's single cell. Twenty-four bloody handprints surprised Li Dazhao.The bearded old man who delivered the meal stuck his mouth into the iron grille and whispered, "I'll take a look at it for you, so you can rest assured that the prison robbery team will risk their lives to rescue you." "Does the party organization know about the prison robbery?" The bearded old man looked around, and then stuck his mouth into the iron grille: "I have studied it, and I agree to rob the prison."

Li Dazhao said: "Please tell the workers who did the bloody fingerprints." "I'm listening." "You tell them that they have rescued me today. I thank them. Even if I die, I am still alive. If you sacrifice a new life to save me, it will push me, Li Dazhao, back into the sea of ​​suffering. Even if I am alive, I am still alive.” The bearded old man suddenly burst into tears: "I don't want to tell, Mr. Li." Li Dazhao said: "The enemy's strength is still very strong at present, and it is not advisable to take risks. Let the blood of comrades be shed on this paper, and absolutely do not shed new blood." "I don't want to say these words, Mr. Li." The old man choked up. "As the leader of the northern party organization of the CCP, I ask you to do this. Please tell the party organization and the prison robbery team!" Two days later, twenty-four railway workers were informed of a decision by the higher party organization.A representative of the party organization with two thick eyebrows told them: "Comrade Li Dazhao said: You have rescued me today. Even if I die, I will still be alive. If you sacrifice a new Life is to push me, Li Dazhao, back into the sea of ​​suffering, even if I am alive, I am still alive." Twenty-four workers stood like clay sculptures and wood sculptures. "Comrade Li Dazhao also said, let the blood of comrades be shed on this piece of paper, and absolutely no new blood should be shed." The blood book was placed on the table.Twenty-four workers burst into tears together. "The party organization decided to cancel the prison robbery plan and disband the prison robbery team." "Mr. Li," the leading worker in a black cloth coat fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands and crying. "How can you spare our lives!" Chen Duxiu sits alone on the Yangtze River.He didn't know about the prison robbery plan in the north and the miscarriage of this plan.He only imagined the terrible silence of Beijing's Jingshi Police Department Prison amidst the sound of foaming water and the roaring sound of turbines.He was familiar with the smelly one. Li Dazhao came to see him when he was locked there.Now Shouchang is in jail, but he can only go to Wuhan from Shanghai and cannot go to Beijing. As the dusk grew thicker, the riverboat whistled from a distance, like a big cat singing in spring.Chen Duxiu sat motionless, with red rust all over his buttocks.When he patted his buttocks, the world of mortals would dance, and a woman with fair complexion would appear in the world of mortals.This character also made Chen Duxiu, who was going upstream, feel sad when he thought of it. Shi Zhiying closed a door to him a month ago.The creaking sound of the door shaft made people's teeth and heart ache.She was at her home when she said those cold words to him.She opened the door and welcomed the dusty Chen Duxiu into the room, and then she told a woman's decision. "Mr. Chen, from tomorrow onwards, you don't want to spend the night with me." Chen Duxiu froze as soon as he took off a leather shoe.Only then did he realize that the woman hadn't placed a pair of soft calico slippers beside his chair as usual. "Mr. Chen," he heard the woman with white lips say again, "It's not that I don't love you, it's not that I disrespect you. I'm still very willing to be with you. When I say it, I am not afraid that my man will hear it." "What?" Chen Duxiu was shocked, "You have a man? Is he here?" Shi Zhiying pointed to the back room.Chen Duxiu turned sideways from the chair, tilted his head to look, and sure enough saw a fat man's back. The man sat quietly on the edge of the bed with his face downcast, never looking up.Chen Duxiu didn't see his face, and didn't even want to see his face.Anyway, he was a man, a middle-aged man, and that was enough.Anyway, this middle-aged man also heard everything Shi Zhiying said just now, that's enough. Enough to bring a scene to an end. But Chen Duxiu always felt that it was a little faster, and he was a little caught off guard.He has seen some emotional things in the common life of two people, and it is rare for him to see these intangible things. Shi Zhiying brewed the last cup of tea for him, and gently handed the teacup to his hand.She said: "I am in love with you, but I still want you to go. You must go. You have a party, you are the general secretary, you are very busy, and you are doing great things, but for me, I just want to be safe. I am an ordinary woman, I have a child, and the first thing I look for in a man is to bring me safety. Really, what more can I ask for in this life? Mr. Chen, please go, I will be willing to let you go you." Chen Duxiu was stunned for a long time, and finally tied up his shoelaces and stood up. "Then what does he do?" He asked softly, but with his eyes wide open. The woman said, "Anyway, he is not the Communist Party, let alone the general secretary." Chen Duxiu knew that he could no longer say anything meaningful.When he went out, he just turned around and muttered: "Zhiying, you are too afraid of sacrifice." "I'm not afraid of sacrificing myself, I'm afraid of sacrificing my children," the woman said.When Chen Duxiu went out, she said again, "Wait!" She opened the closet, took out a stack of Chen Duxiu's ironed clothes, and stuffed them into his bag one by one.Her tears fell on Chen Duxiu's hands. "You go." She whispered. Chen Duxiu picked up his bulging bag and walked out.At this time, he heard a sudden cry coming from the room. The cry was very sad, and there was a man's soft voice comforting it. Chen Duxiu stared at the Yangtze River.The shape of the long tears streaming down Shi Zhiying's face seems to have similarities with the shape of this long river flowing on the face of China.But these are two very different concepts.Tears are wiped away in one night, and the Yangtze River can't be wiped away for thousands of years. On April 8, the river ship slowed down and berthed in Nanjing. Chen Duxiu had a sudden idea and got off the ship. He thought of Gao Junman and his two children who were living hard in Nanjing. He lived in Caochang Street for several days.Talking, drinking, hugging sons and daughters.He had a feeling of relief from fatigue.Gao Junman didn't make a fuss with him, nor did he ask about the Shanghai woman, but just reminded him not to always delay sending the 50 yuan per month.Chen Duxiu took turns holding Xizi and Heizi on his lap once every dusk. At this time, his dark face was dark red like the sun, and his heart was filled with long-lost peace.Chen Duxiu didn't feel sore legs at all when the child grew up and his buttocks became heavy. The upheaval in Shanghai was heard by Chen Duxiu when he was having lunch on the 13th. He was getting up from the stool in a hurry, facing a round mirror hanging on the wooden door, and pulling out a fishbone on his gum.The fishbone is very deep. He said angrily: "What kind of fish has a strong fishy smell and small thorns." Gao Junman was not happy, threw the chopsticks, and said, "Do you think the fish is fishy? Do you think the fish is small? For 50 yuan a month, the three of us, mother and child, can still eat big fish? I only buy fish when you come. If you don't come, my son They still can't smell the fish!" As she spoke, she coughed again, coughing violently, and immediately there was blood on the handkerchief again. "Mom, stop talking." Heizi said while cooking rice. "Mom!" Xizi yelled, "Dad is rarely home, so you can scold him!" Chen Duxiu pulled out his spine, smacked his lips, continued to sit down, and buried himself in eating. Heizi said: "Dad, this fish is really fishy. You are right. I smelled it too." Xizi immediately said, "The thorns are too small, and my mouth hurts too. Look, Dad." Chen Duxiu ate with big mouthfuls, nodding while eating.Children are so sensible, he thought.At this time, the sound of newsboys running and selling could be faintly heard outside the window. The cries were as sharp as fishbone, which startled Chen Duxiu immediately. "Extraordinary! Extraordinary! Please watch Shanghai Qing Party! Chiang Kai-shek broke with the Communist Party!" "Extraordinary! Extraordinary! Please watch the big crackdown in Shanghai! Blood stained Baoshan Road! Three hundred workers were killed!" This time Chen Duxiu's throat was really stuck by a fishbone. He jumped up, squatted in the corner of the room, spit out a mouthful of rice, and retched heavily. Gao Junman panicked, desperately slapped him on the back, and tried to pinch the small fishbone deep in his throat with his fingers. Chen Duxiu retched and pointed out the window: "Report!...Report!..." Gao Junman said in a panic, "What's the matter? What's the matter?" It was Heizi who understood his father's meaning, jumped up like a rabbit, reached out his hand to find some silver cents from his father's pocket, and ran out the door. Chen Duxiu read the newspaper he bought, and after only a few glances, he sat down on the threshold covered in black mud, holding his head in both hands.His fingers were buried deep in the roots of black hair. Gao Junman stared blankly at her husband. Heizi walked up to his father and said like an adult, "Dad, don't be angry. Is the bad guy trying to catch you again?" Xizi also came over, sat on the threshold, shook her father's leg and said, "Dad, don't be afraid, Mom will hide you." It was not until it was time to light the lamp that Chen Duxiu spoke.The bedside lamp was dimly lit. Chen Duxiu and Gao Junman had no intention of going to sleep, so they sat in their respective clothes.The children were asleep next door. Cigar smoke filled the room with smoke. "I feel like I'm in a frying pan." He said hoarsely to his wife. "Will you not be in the frying pan!" "Junman, I passed by alone again." "That woman, she, did she kick you away?" Gao Junman was taken aback.In fact, she only wanted to ask this question several times in the past few days, "I knew she would kick you away! One day!" "What I regret is that she kicked me away, not I kicked her away." "What do you mean?" Gao Junman turned back and stared at the man she loved and hated, she didn't understand what he was expressing mean. Chen Duxiu sighed, and said: "I should kick her away. All the women who rely on me, I should kick them out as soon as possible. I can't harm them. Am I human? I am a disaster. I regret that I am too enlightened. Night." Gao Junman's heart sank, he sneered through his nostrils, and said, "I can see that you still like this female fairy!" "Junman, I will be wanted by Chiang Kai-shek soon. I can't live in Nanjing. The fate between you and me is over." "I know, you and I have already become a broken mirror, and it is difficult to get back together. Do you think that if you stay here for a few days, I will feel like a prodigal son?" "You're right," Chen Duxiu said, "the mirror is already broken, just like the half round mirror you hung on the wooden door. Since the mirror is broken, there is no need to re-round it. A broken mirror that is re-rounded may shatter." You know me, I can’t live without a woman in my life. Now I really realize that Revolution is the only woman who can always stay by my side, and she will never come to ask me to beg It’s safe. I’m going to Wuhan right away, I’ll take the night ship, and I can’t hurt you anymore, let alone Heizi and Xizi.” Gao Junman said calmly, "Go away." Chen Duxiu was silent for a moment, got off the bed, and slowly got dressed. He walked to the table and dumped all the silver in his bag on the crumbling wooden table. Then he went to the next door. When he was kissing his sleeping son and daughter, he heard Gao Junman sobbing. Chen Duxiu walked out the door with her bag between her arms. The moment he went out, Gao Junman jumped out with tears all over her face, hugged him from the back, and pressed her wet face to the back of his neck. Then she let go of him all of a sudden, kicked his ass, and said, "Get lost!" She gritted her teeth and said this word.This kick was also very hard. Chen Duxiu went out and disappeared into the darkness.His left buttock was still very painful all the way to Wuhan.Gao Junman kicked not only his flesh, but also his bones. Chen Duxiu often lived an anxious life in Wuhan. On April 28, he was quite anxious again.He was waiting outside the gate of Huangpi Guild Hall in Hankou early, waiting to welcome an important person to attend the meeting.Whether this distinguished guest will come or not seems to be crucial to the CCP in April 1927. The Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Huangpi Guild Hall.When Chiang Kai-shek resolutely suppressed the Great Shanghai in a pool of blood, the importance of the CCP convening this National Representative Conference is self-evident. Mao Zedong walked out of the guild hall, went outside the gate, and greeted Chen Duxiu softly: "Comrade Duxiu, you are the general secretary of our party, so you don't have to wait at the gate in person, do you?" Chen Duxiu rolled his eyes at him, he felt that Mao Zedong didn't care about the seriousness. Qu Qiubai also came out, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Comrade Duxiu, why don't you go into the venue? I'll just meet you at the door." Chen Duxiu said: "You all go in quickly. Don't talk about it. I have to wait here." He has been looking at the end of the street, and his late spring mood is already burning like midsummer. The meeting time has already arrived, and the car that should have arrived in time has not yet appeared.The important person Chen Duxiu was anxiously waiting for was Wang Jingwei, the leader of the Kuomintang party of the Wuhan government.Wang Jingwei agreed to speak at the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China.This kind of promise has a deep meaning of giving charcoal in a timely manner.Chen Duxiu already felt that the choices he faced were very limited. At the critical moment of the Great Revolution, he almost pinned all his hopes of advancing the Chinese revolution on the Wuhan government. Sitting behind his desk at the Central Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang in Wuhan, Wang Jingwei slowly sips coffee.He was thinking about Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Duxiu.Chiang Kai-shek had the army, and Chen Duxiu had the workers and peasants, but the workers and peasants only had sticks, while the army had gunpowder.He knew that even the army under the command of the Wuhan government was mostly inclined towards Chiang Kai-shek.We cannot ignore the movements of the army generals. Since the Great Revolution, the workers’ and peasants’ movement managed by the CCP has gone too far.Soldiers are dissatisfied. The adjutant opened the door and said, "Chairman Wang, it's time." Wang Jingwei asked, "How can there be no good coffee in such a big Hankou?" "Chairman Wang, do you want to go to the meeting first?" "understood." He had to think over and over again about the final way out of the Wuhan Nationalist Government. On the sixth day after launching the counter-revolutionary coup, Chiang Kai-shek formed another National Government in Nanjing, blatantly declared that everything that the National Government and the Kuomintang Central Committee moved from Guangzhou to Wuhan in March was illegal, and issued the first secret letter of the Nanjing National Government. The Order No. 1 publicly wanted 193 communists and KMT leftists, including Chen Duxiu, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Borodin, as well as Kuomintang leftists Deng Yanda and Liu Yazi.Although the Central Committee of the Wuhan Kuomintang expressed its position in a timely manner and condemned Chiang Kai-shek's anti-communist behavior, Wang Jingwei's thoughts at this moment are obviously all kinds of things hidden behind the public condemnation. Wang Jingwei played with the coffee.The thick black juice dripped down the small spoon into the cup.Since his trip to France, his liking for coffee has become stronger.If things go well, Wang Jingwei thought, his Kuomintang and the national government could still find a way out in the political gully.If the trouble is not good, he may be forced to drink coffee in France again, and he may even be decapitated.He had experienced Chiang Kai-shek's decisiveness and swiftness when he punched. Chen Duxiu didn't know that Wang Jingwei was still playing with coffee at this time, he was still hanging his neck up at the gate of the hall, waiting for a sincere and respectful statement. Looking at the extremely anxious Chen Duxiu from a distance, Mao Zedong and Qu Qiubai both felt a little ridiculous and a little sad.Many representatives attending the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China strongly hoped that Chen Duxiu's line of compromise and concessions could be corrected at this meeting; and Chen Duxiu's strong hope was that Wang Jingwei's Wuhan Kuomintang Central Committee could stand firm, continue to maintain cooperation with the Communist Party, and continue the Northern Expedition , to advance China's bourgeois democratic revolution. Mao Zedong said to Qu Qiubai: "The old man's eyes should not be staring at Wang Jingwei at all at this time, but should be staring at Wang Yanghai!" Qu Qiubai understood what Mao Zedong meant by Wang Yanghai, and he also agreed with this point of view.Chinese workers and Chinese farmers are really a vast ocean that can stir up waves.So Qu Qiubai sighed and said, "This old man really can't tell the difference between this Wang and that Wang!" Mao Zedong smiled slightly.He admired Qu Qiubai's preface to "Investigation Report on the Peasant Movement in Hunan", and he also knew that the two always understood each other on major policies.Mao Zedong said: "Qiubai, although you Qu Qiubai's Qiu character is hot, my Mao Zedong's Ze character is watery, you and I are really incompatible." Qu Qiubai looked at Mao Zedong and said: "To be honest, I agree with you, the peasant king. Runzhi, I can't bear it anymore. I want to speak. I want to distribute the pamphlet I wrote at this meeting. Controversial Issues in the Chinese Revolution, I want to clearly oppose the capitulationism of the old man!" The gentle and gentle Qu Qiubai always showed a unique stubbornness, which Mao Zedong liked very much.There will be a fierce dispute at the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and both of them have already felt it.Just as the two of them were holding hands, Chen Duxiu outside the gate also held a pair of warm hands. Chen Duxiu shook hands and said: "At this time of crisis, Brother Zhaoming came to speak at the party representative meeting in person. Duxiu is very grateful!" "Although my brother came late, Wang Zhaoming always expressed his indignation at Chiang Kai-shek's anti-Communist Qing Dynasty. Zhongfu must have seen that ten days ago, the Kuomintang Central Committee issued a clear order: Chiang Kai-shek is massacring the people and destroying the party headquarters. Reactionary and vicious, it has been decided by the Central Executive Committee to be expelled from the party and dismissed from all positions. All soldiers and revolutionary people's organizations should take the central government and punish them according to the anti-revolutionary crimes regulations!" Chen Duxiu felt his nasal cavity was a little hot: "Brother Zhaoming, you are the mainstay!" "There are two pillars, you and I stand side by side!" Chen Duxiu grabbed Wang Jingwei's hand, joined hands, and walked into the guild hall together. Qu Qiubai, Mao Zedong and others standing inside the door applauded together, welcoming the two party leaders to enter, but Mao Zedong's face was always stern.He noticed that Wang Jingwei laughed when he saw anyone, like a flower, but the speed of laughing was very fast.Mao Zedong was familiar with this smile when he worked at the Central Committee of the Kuomintang in Guangzhou a year and a half ago. He knew that Wang Jingwei was definitely a pompous person, although Wang Jingwei himself nominated Mao Zedong to act as the head of the Kuomintang Central Propaganda. On the same day that Wang Jingwei, who had ulterior motives, walked slowly into the Fifth Congress of the Communist Party of China, in Beijing, a shocking gallows was erected in front of a famous leader of the Communist Party of China. On the afternoon of April 27, 1927, at the Jingshi Detention Center in Xijiaominxiang, Beijing, the black gallows image in front of the white wall was slapped three times by the executioner's big hand.The little wheel began to turn, and the ugly and rough rope loop slowly hung down. Li Dazhao, who was wearing a gray cotton robe, stepped onto the execution platform calmly.Due to repeated torture, he has a slight limp.Li Dazhao had expected this moment since the day he was arrested.He was only thirty-eight, but he already felt that this life was long and fulfilling.He has done many things in his life.If today's noose is a full stop, he also thinks it is quite appropriate. At this moment, he didn't think about Zhao Renlan and his beloved Baohua and Xinghua at all. He only thought that his life would soon end in politics.It should be a man's honor to dedicate himself to beliefs, ideals, roads, and politics, let alone in China, a country full of blood, violence, ignorance, darkness, oppression, and fear.In this sense, the gallows is simply a garland. He raised his face and gazed at the ocher-black wreath.He saw spring in this wreath.In April in China, from south to north, spring colors should be very strong. Then, Li Dazhao turned his face away.He looked directly at the police and the executioner who were facing the enemy, and said calmly and clearly: "Just because you hanged me today, you can't hang the great communism! We have cultivated many comrades, like the seeds of safflower , Scattered everywhere! We firmly believe that communism is bound to win a glorious victory in the world and in China!" The black hoop has come down to Li Dazhao's face.Already he felt the roughness of the rope. Li Dazhao raised his face and shouted: "Long live the Communist Party of China!" His ardent cry went directly into the Chinese spring through an unattractive wreath. Mao Zedong didn't come often to Chen Duxiu's apartment in Qianhualou in Hankou, but today he couldn't help stepping up the stairs to see Chen Duxiu, and let the tears flow all over his face. "Did you hear Mr. Li's voice, Zhongfu?" Mao Zedong wiped his eyes and said to Chen Duxiu, who was sitting on a rosewood armchair, "I remember that seven years ago, he sent a cart of charcoal to Fuyou Temple Come on, I was driving Zhang in Beijing at that time, and he said to me: You drive Zhang, I agree, but where do you want to drive Zhang Jingyao to? Don’t drive Zhang Jingyao to my hometown, otherwise, I will also organize the driving of Zhang The petition group. How naive I was at that time! I thought that after Zhang was expelled, the world in Hunan would be peaceful! Seven years later, China is still so dark, and Mr. Li asked another warlord named Zhang to kill him! Zhongfu, we Communists In any case, we can no longer pin our hopes on the warlords!" "I am also saddened by the sacrifice of obedience. But I, Runzhi, I find that I can't understand your words more and more. Which warlord do I pin my hopes on?" "I don't mean the old warlords, I mean the new warlords." "Chiang Kai-shek?" "Of course it's Chiang Kai-shek! Another one is Wang Jingwei. Wang Jingwei must also be on guard! He is very suspicious!" Chen Duxiu stood up: "Crazy, Runzhi? You're driving fish for Yuan, driving birds for Cong! Wipe away your tears, I don't see tears." "Zhongfu, the fate of the Chinese Revolution is at stake!" "I know that!" "In the north is Zhang Zuolin's Feng Faction warlord government, and in the east is Chiang Kai-shek's bayonet. The warlords in Guangdong, Guangxi and Sichuan are also controlled in Nanjing. So Wuhan is actually besieged on all sides." "Because of being besieged on all sides, the Chinese Communist Party must pay special attention to cooperation with Wang Jingwei!" Logically speaking, Chen Duxiu's conclusion is advisable.But Mao Zedong had another logic. Mao Zedong said tit for tat: "Because of being besieged on all sides, the Chinese Communist Party must be especially vigilant about the reliability of its allies!" Mao Zedong's conclusion is also logically correct. Chen Duxiu thought for a long time, and said a conclusive sentence. He said word by word: "I think Wang Jingwei is still reliable!" Chen Yannian opened the door and came in. He became angry when he heard his father's words. "Comrade Duxiu!" Chen Yannian said harshly, "Wang Jingwei is reliable? You really don't know or you don't know, he has already sent someone to contact Chiang Kai-shek?" "This is his soldier who never tires of cheating!" "To be honest, Comrade Duxiu," the son stared at Lao Tzu with his big eyes, "I have been disappointed in you every crisis since I came back from France!" Chen Duxiu slapped the table: "Nonsense!" Mao Zedong quickly smoothed things over and said: "Zhongfu, I always thought that our current line of sight should follow the curved sickle on the party flag and bend out of the city to see the Chinese peasants. We must take a serious look at it. At first glance, Chinese farmers are different from farmers in other countries. They are like a vast ocean, and the waves of this ocean have unexpected power!" Chen Duxiu touched his nose. Chen Yannian said: "Comrade Duxiu, please listen carefully to Comrade Mao Zedong!" Mao Zedong also said: "The plan for redistribution of land that I have negotiated, I ask Zhongfu to organize it to be deliberated at this congress anyway. If this peasant resolution is implemented, Chinese peasants will immediately become a very powerful force in promoting the Chinese revolution. the power of!" Chen Duxiu was still speechless.Chen Duxiu later said, what time is it, and I'm going to bed.Mao Zedong's heart sank, he knew that his and Qu Qiubai's proposal would hit a wall at this important meeting. Chen Duxiu later refused to discuss Mao Zedong's land redistribution plan at the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China.Chen Duxiu believed that the agrarian revolution could only be carried out after continuing the Northern Expedition and overthrowing the warlords.The next day, Mao Zedong, in a desolate mood, took his wife to Snake Mountain, and then climbed the Yellow Crane Tower. Facing the vast China, he recited a poem. Mao Zedong went upstairs and walked very slowly.Yang Kaihui hugged the baby Mao Anlong who was only 20 days old, and followed him lightly.Mao Zedong asked her if she was tired, because after all, the confinement period was not full yet.Yang Kaihui said, it's rare to go out with you, I am very happy.Mao Zedong took his third son from her, and ascended the building in his arms. Mao Zedong climbed to the fifth floor and stopped. Looking at the distant mountains and near the water, everything is gloomy.There was no sun, no wind, and the entire river was stagnantly following what Chen Duxiu called "order".Mao Zedong felt bored and said, let me fill in a poem, Kaihui, do you want to listen? Mao Zedong also said that there are two situations in reciting poems, one is singing in extreme joy, and the other is singing in sorrow, and I belong to the latter one today. The wife didn't understand the meaning of her husband's words, so she only said to the baby in her husband's arms: Anlong, open your eyes, your father is composing a poem! Mao Zedong was carefully choosing his words while chanting slowly: "The vast nine schools flow through China, and the heavy line runs through the north and south. The mist and rain are vast, and the turtle and snake lock the river. Where does the yellow crane go? Where there are tourists left, drink wine, and the tide is high! " The wife asked, where did the yellow crane go?Mao Zedong said he didn't know, and asked Taoist priests to ride away. It has been 1,700 years since he rode away. The wife said: "I don't understand what happened to Huang He, but I understand that your heart is racing. You think of Mr. Li Dazhao!" "It's not just Mr. Li." "You're thinking about China." "Can you not think about China?" The husband held the baby tightly in his arms, "How to save and deepen the Chinese revolution, how to deal with enemies outside the Wuhan regime, and how to treat suspicious allies within the regime, we Communists are very confused all the time. It’s hard to have a good plan.” "Little Anlong, in the past few years, I have never seen your father in such a bleak state of mind." "Kaihui, I know you're worried about me. Otherwise, you won't be fully confinement, so you must come out with me to relax." "Is General Secretary Chen Duxiu still so stubborn?" Mao Zedong bent down and kissed the sleeping Anlong without saying a word. Of course Chen Duxiu was stubborn.Although the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China accepted the resolution of the Seventh National Congress of the Communist International on the China issue and criticized Chen Duxiu's right-leaning mistakes, it still failed to come up with specific measures for major issues such as how to fight for the leadership of the revolution.The new Executive Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China elected Chen Duxiu, Zhang Guotao, Cai Hesen, and Qu Qiubai as members of the Politburo Standing Committee, and Chen Duxiu was still the general secretary of the party. An old man is always an old man, Mao Zedong sighed heavily after the meeting closed. Many people sighed in the same way. Mao Zedong running on the streets of Hankou.He swung his arms and ran fast.He rushed to the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Fuyili.Someone told him that a group of heavily injured people from Hunan came to Hankou from Changsha, and they were covered in blood. The situation in Changsha is urgent. On May 21, under the background of Wang Jingwei's regime turning sharply to the right, Xu Kexiang, who was stationed in Changsha, led the 35th Army and the 33rd Regiment of the 35th Army to launch an armed rebellion, which was called the "Ma Ri Incident".军队查封了湖南省总工会、农协、左派国民党省党部，解除了工农武装。湖南的工农运动顿时血花四溅。 整个形势继续急剧恶化。6月6日，江西的朱培德又以“礼送出境”的口号大批驱逐共产党员和国民党左派人士。6月10日，汪精卫又去郑州与冯玉祥、唐生智密谈。九天后，冯玉祥又赴徐州同蒋介石会谈。幕后的交易传递出一个很明显的信息：蒋汪携手，宁汉合流，反共反苏，已是迟早的事。 毛泽东气喘吁吁地奔到辅义里，他看见中宣部机关办公楼门前，围着一大群武汉民众。这群民众果然看见了来自长沙的血。长沙的一批工农代表，抬着七八副担架，正在声嘶力竭地控诉许克祥暴行。 石花的腹部扎着厚厚的满是血污的绷带。她躺在担架上，手中无力地举着一面“惩办许克祥”的小纸旗。 毛泽东分开人群，一见担架上的石花，就愣了。 “毛团长！”无牙的石花刚喊出一句，头一歪，便昏了过去，手中纸旗颓然落地。 毛泽东怒喝：“都伤成这样了，还抬到汉口来干什么？还不赶快送医院！” 黑筐慌了，赶紧下令：“抬医院去！”黑筐头上也扎着绷带，他其时已在湖南省总工会工作，他觉得毛先生的批评是对的，于是他马上指挥着大家赶紧就医。但还是迟了一步，石花被送进医院不到几分钟，两只大眼睛就永远闭上了。 毛泽东缓缓拉起白被单，亲自盖上了石花的遗体。毛泽东后来知道，是两把刺刀同时戳进了石花的腹部。石花当时护在湖南省总工会办公楼前，张开双臂死死护住总工会的牌子。石花喊：不准封门！工人运动万岁！她没有来得及喊出第三句，鲜血就从她的腹部喷了出来。 来自安源的“煤黑子”黑筐当时也与许克祥的兵搏斗了一场，前额挨了一枪托，血流满面。黑筐告诉毛泽东，何叔衡在长沙也被抓了，他一口咬定自己是私塾先生，没露破绽，才侥幸逃脱。这两天他每天把着鸟笼子，扮作算命先生，躲来躲去。长沙已经快被乌云压坍了。 毛泽东听了，沉默良久，最后，他对轻轻抚摸了一下黑筐头上的白绷带，看看围在石花遗体周围的众多湖南工农代表说：“对许克祥，如果不绳之以法，那是天理不存！我们要力争武汉方面有所动作！你们，都要尽快回到原来的岗位，恢复工作，拿起武器！山区的，上山！滨湖的，上船！坚决与敌人作斗争，武装保卫革命！黑筐同志，听清楚没有？” “听清楚了。” “大家听清楚没有？” 大家一齐说：“听清楚了！” “就是这样！”毛泽东斩铁截铁地说，“在中国共产党人面前，只有这一条路了！” 独臂军人石头忽然出现了，他跌跌撞撞扑进医院大门。 “姐姐？这是我的姐姐？” 他掀开白被单，突然后退两步，狼一样嗥叫起来：“姐姐！！” 6月13日上午，毛泽东出席国民党中央军委会议，报告马日事变情形。他拉开黑色的靠背椅，故意坐在汪精卫的正对面。他要近距离掂量一下汪精卫。 “诸位委员，在报告之前，请允许本人先做两件事情。第一件事，我想展示一件衣服，一件女人的衣服。” 听毛泽东这么说，汪精卫打了一个愣。 毛泽东从脚边取起一件蓝底白花布衫，摊在会议桌上。布衫上皆是大团大团的血迹，血腥气很重。汪精卫皱皱眉，赶紧端起茶盅喝茉莉花香茶。 “第二件事，我想展示一位军人。诸位，我们现在开会的地方，是一年前英雄的北伐军将士用生命和鲜血夺来的。他们当中，有不少人牺牲了，有不少人伤残了。今天我请来的这位年轻的连长，就为从军阀手中夺取这个城市，丢了一只胳膊。” 毛泽东拍了三下手。丢了左臂的石头在第三下掌声中默然走进会议室。 毛泽东说：“诸位委员同志，这件血衣的主人，是个姑娘，牺牲之时才二十四岁。她就是这位北伐军连长的亲姐姐。这位北伐英雄用自己的手托起敌人的机枪，被敌人用大刀砍去了手臂，而他的亲姐姐，一个善良的总工会工作人员，却被许克祥的兵用刺刀戳穿了肚子！” 汪精卫闭起眼睛。整个会议室鸦雀无声。 毛泽东突然击桌：“革命何罪之有？！许克祥无耻之尤！” 他爆发了。他实在控制不住自己的感情。湖南工友和农友的鲜血，他特别不忍看。 石头用独臂默默脱下自己的军衣，又从桌上取过姐姐的血衣，将之穿在身上，然后再套上自己的军衣。 独臂军人脚跟一碰，咔地一声立正，向全体与会者敬了一个无言的军礼，然后便转过身，踩着沉重的步伐走了出去。 汪精卫目送这位年轻的伤残军人，木无表情。他听说过许克祥这个名字，但是不认识这位团长。但他心里非常明白，许克祥不是许克祥一个人。 当天下午，在汪精卫宅邸的客厅方桌上，琳琳琅琅地摆满了来自长沙的印章、报表、文件。 汪精卫仔细察看。印章刻得很粗糙，图案有斧头，有镰刀。 汪精卫直起身，看看桌旁的军官们。这是许克祥专门派来向汪精卫密报情况的三个军官。他们在汪主席面前站得笔直。 “禀汪主席，这是湖南总工会的工人武装计划。”其中的一个国字脸军官报告说，“这是农民协会斗争地方绅士的计划。汪主席，湖南农民共产共妻，兵士六个月不回家，老婆便被农协共去。汪主席，不反击不行了。许克祥团长对汪主席，忠心可鉴。” 汪精卫沉默。 国字脸军官又啪地立正，音带哭腔：“我的舅舅，两百亩地契，都给农民烧了！那些黑脚梗，还在我表姐的牙床上打滚！汪主席，我们全团对许团长的决断都是拥戴的！” 汪精卫说：“来人。” 副官应声走进。汪精卫说：“把桌子上的这些东西全都扔进灶膛，烧一顿饭，请请这几个长沙来的弟兄。吃了，就让他们就回去。他们有些话，也是说过头了，我是不相信的。但是肚里有气，不放出来，怕也不行。就这样吧，别的，也不用多说了。” 三个军官似乎明白了一切，挺身立正，一齐说：“谢汪主席！” 个把钟头之后，还没等这三个酒足饭饱的军官走下汪宅大门台阶，忽然就被一个旋风般的扫堂腿扫倒了两个，另一个还不明所以，又被一个像狼一样的独臂军人扑倒在地。 石头挥动独拳，痛打这个长着一张国字脸的军官，只可惜没打几下，便被一批守卫军警死死扭住了。 “你们这群狗日的！”石头拼命挣扎，“我要报仇！” 汪精卫走出门外，阴沉沉地盯着活蹦乱跳的石头。大门口的这场突如其来的吵闹惊动了这位美男子。他看了半天，挥挥手，说：“放了他吧，看在北伐的份上，放了他。他若再要生事，滋扰大局，就问问他：他剩下的那只手还想不想要了？” 汪精卫说这句话的声音极其轻柔，而扭着石头的那几双臂膀却如铁钳般硬。 长江灰灰白白，在六月的阳光下一直延续到天边。 陈独秀与蔡和森、毛泽东一起漫步江畔。有一项要紧的工作，他们要商议。 “和森，”陈独秀说，“你力主改组湖南省委，提议润之去担任省委书记，我也不是不能同意，只是时局微妙，我怕润之鲁莽行事。” 他现在想事情总是这么想。他对毛润之越来越不放心。 毛泽东说：“仲甫，湖南的阵营打散了，必须尽快整理。我以为对付反革命的枪杆子，只能用革命的枪杆子！” 陈独秀说：“润之，你握过枪杆子没有？” "No." “我当年参加暗杀团，成天摸枪杆子，而今却非常慎言枪杆子。你毛润之没有摸过一天枪杆子，却满口枪杆子，我不能不担心你开枪走火！” 蔡和森婉转地说：“仲甫，润之坚持针锋相对，从战略上讲，没有错。” 陈独秀说：“就我不主张反抗？我怕针锋相对？你们两位知道吗，今天上海来了电报，说我儿子延年昨天被蒋介石抓了！你们以为我不想报仇？” 毛泽东与蔡和森闻言，一惊，面面相觑。 陈独秀说：“是昨天下午三点钟被抓的，在北四川路的江苏省委里面。我派延年去江苏省委工作时间还不长呢，省委内就出了叛徒。延年被捕之时，据说十分英勇，同警察大打出手，反抗到了最后一刻。我为有延年这样的儿子，很骄傲。我陈独秀生到这个世界上来，别的本事没有，一是会骂人，二是会反抗。我生来就是个反抗者。我为什么迟迟不叫大家同汪精卫对着干呢？那是因为汪精卫的脸皮还没有撕破！他同蒋介石的秘密接触还没有结果！他还有不做反革命的可能性！他还没到这个路上，我们为什么要逼他？连共产国际代表罗易同志都说汪精卫是可以争取的。我作为党的总书记，一定要顾大局！我必须把好这个舵！” 毛泽东和蔡和森都说不出话。江水拍岸，一阵一阵地呜咽。 陈独秀说：“我知道你们每天都睡不好觉。我作为领路人，这些天，也是常常睁眼到天明的。好吧，路走远了，回去开会吧！” 这一天的深夜，邓演达的汽车开到汪精卫宅邸门口。卫兵认出了车，知道来者是国民党中央执委、中央军委总政治部主任，于是立即在车灯的光柱中立正，向下车者敬礼。 这些天，像中国共产党人一样对革命前景忧心忡忡的，还有坚定的国民党左派人士。邓演达深夜来找汪精卫，已不止一次了。 卫兵敬礼完毕，仍然试图挡驾：“邓主任，汪主席已经休息了。” 邓演达伸手，啪的一下打开卫兵的手，就走了进去。 上一回他也是这样的。他豁出去了。 汪精卫只好起身。他坐在藤椅上，默默地听邓演达慷慨陈词。 “兆铭，以我们之力，还是可以压倒蒋介石的，只要你能明确昭告，我们依照总理遗嘱，联合共产党，团结革命阵营，我想，我们一定能度过难关！” 汪精卫打个哈欠：“已经分崩离析喽。” “兆铭，现在就看你了！天下人都在看你！你竖起脊梁来，我们听你的！” “择生，不要孩子气了，武汉的国民政府，大厦将倾，我晚上一闭眼睛，就能听到梁啊，柱啊，嘎叽嘎叽响。共产党，共产党能联合么？他们只有嘴巴硬，什么一个幽灵，在欧洲徘徊。徘徊到中国来，还早着呢。他们根本靠不住，他们那几杆破枪，你说能顶什么用？” “兆铭，共产党发动民众还是有本事的。万不能小看民众，涓水成海，海能覆舟！” 汪精卫又打一个哈欠：“民众？什么叫民众？对这个字眼，不必盲目崇拜。你若说是乌合之众，可能还更准确一点。择生啊，你若是想在武汉再呆下去，就到我这里来，我们好好谈谈。你若另有远图，我汪精卫也没法子约束你的鸿鹄之志了。” 他们谈到鸡叫。汪精卫打了四十多个哈欠。来访者在鸡叫第三声时默然起身，敬礼，然后退出。 来访者想：完了。 6月29日，一夜未眠的邓演达去寻找陈独秀。他坐在汽车里想，共产党人有一首《国际歌》，有句词儿叫“这是最后的斗争”，一听就是悲愤之词。我今天去找共产党的领袖，也可算作“最后的斗争”，除去悲愤之外，还有几分苍凉。他不知道陈独秀这个人愿意不愿意作“最后的斗争”，看来悬乎，陈独秀的骨头不如他想象中那么硬，许多共产党人也是这么说的。 他坐在汽车里，盯着窗外。 街道上三步一岗，五步一哨。 前一天晚上，武汉又发生事变。武汉卫戌司令部悍然派兵侵占全国总工会、湖北省总工会机关。苏兆征、李立三、刘少奇先后向第八军军长李品仙交涉，李品仙才勉强命令士兵撤离。风声是越来越紧，共产党的陈独秀总书记都看见了这一些吧？如果皮肉都看见了，那么骨头有没有看见呢？汪精卫的骨头？ 邓演达的汽车悄然停在陈独秀的临时住宅前。邓演达下车的脚步声也是悄悄的。他只对司机说，你等着我。 陈独秀听见汽车声，从二楼窗口一望，见下车的竟是邓演达，不禁一呆。他知道这又是一个愣小子。形势越吃紧，愣小子就越多，事情也就越难办。 秘书黄文容外出采买东西了，不在，幸好乔年在家，于是陈独秀赶快布置乔年去应付客人。他打定主意不见客。 陈乔年勉为其难，步下楼梯。 邓演达迈入客厅，开门见山说：“我要见陈先生。陈先生的住址，我是千辛万苦才问到的。” “我父亲不在。”陈乔年搓搓手说。他说这句话，明显地底气不足。“邓主任，你请坐，我泡一杯茶。” 邓演达坐下，说：“我等他！哪怕他半夜回来，我也等他！” 陈乔年又说：“他……有时候不在这里住。”话说完，脸就腾腾地红起来。 邓演达焦急地踱了一圈，看看陈乔年，又看看天花板。 陈乔年越来越觉得不好意思。邓演达之风骨，广州和武汉均有口皆碑，父亲今天为什么视其如敌呢？ 邓演达走到门口，忽然又回过身来，抬脸，冲天花板大叫：“陈先生！我是邓演达！我知道你在家！事到如今，你还不愿意见我，不愿意武装工农起来暴动，到时候你悔之晚矣！” 陈乔年目瞪口呆。 邓演达喘了几口气，又砰砰击桌：“我还可以争取掌握第四军、第十一军的实力！我们还有一个新编二十军，军长是倾向贵党的贺龙！你还可以大规模武装工人和农民！这是最后的一步棋了！陈先生，惟有这步棋子！陈先生，演达恭请你下楼！” 楼上悄无声息。 “唉，”邓演达长叹一声，“前两天，汪精卫完了。今日，陈独秀完了。这两人都完了的话，陈公子，中国完了！” 说毕，他大步而出。接着就响起了汽车声。 陈乔年奔上楼梯。此时此刻，他简直恨死父亲了。他对呆呆坐在床上的父亲说：“独秀同志，邓主任的话，我听着句句在理！再不反抗，全盘皆输！要是哥哥今天在这里，他会骂死你！” 父亲皱眉说：“乔年，你懂什么！邓演达当然是个很有本事的军事家！但是眼下是什么时候？眼下不是商议军事的时候，是商议政治的时候！武装工人农民？暴动？他怎么跟毛润之想的一样？真是笑话！” 邓演达于这一天回到宅邸，就发现苗头不对了。窗外出现的异常情况还是他妻子指点给他看的。 郑立贞脸色苍白地说：“演达，我不能不告诉你了，你来看！” 邓演达放下饭碗，从饭桌起身，盯视窗外。他看见了成群的鬼鬼祟祟的士兵。 他被监视了。 他没有料到对方动作这么快。早上，他还去出席国民党中央政治委员会会议，他在会议上怨愤地提出了《辞职宣言》。而仅在黄昏时分，驻武汉的第25军军长何键就发出了“反共训令”，要求武汉政府“明令与共产党分离”，同时派兵盯住了邓演达的住宅。幕后总导演，该是很明白的，就是汪精卫。 妻子突然抱住邓演达，颤抖不已。“演达，怎么办？”她说。 邓演达拍拍妻子，说：“我真没有想到，一向有风骨的陈独秀先生，如今也患上软骨病了。这年头，连共产党都不硬了，我还硬得起来吗？事情其实很简单，我们不动手，他们就动手了。蒋介石很知道先下手为强，汪精卫也很知道先下手为强。就是共产党不知道，他们只知道后发制人。须知道后发制人，是需要先期支付许多鲜血和生命的呀！” “你的生命不要紧吧？” “别慌。照样吃饭，照样睡觉，看几天再说，他们一时还不敢怎么样的。也许明天，或者后天，陈独秀的骨头突然硬起来了呢？我今天对他说了一番话，相信他是听见的。” 武汉工人纠察队的枪械库很大，推门便是浓烈的机油味。 刘少奇踱步在枪械和弹药之中，已经一个钟头了。他心里有点绞痛。 为维护国共合作之大局，陈独秀继续对汪精卫实行退让，由他主持的中共中央政治局常委会决定，公开宣布解散工人纠察队，所有枪支上缴武汉国民政府。全国总工会负责人刘少奇被强迫执行这道令人痛苦的命令。 门开了，阳光扑了进来。有人向他小声报告：“刘少奇同志，贺军长来了！” 一位魁梧的军人大步而入。他进门就笑，说这么多啊，这么多啊。此人便是驻九江的国民党二十军军长贺龙。 “贺军长，全交给你啦！” “照单全收，刘先生。” “第一，枪给你！工人纠察队有好好孬孬三千条枪，凡是好的，你统统拿走！第二，人给你！工人纠察队中的共产党员，你都带走！” 贺龙真切地感觉到了这些话的分量。这不是刘少奇之托，而是共产党之托。 他久久注视着刘少奇，然后说：“放心！贵党的血肉，就是我的血肉！我的血肉，也是贵党的血肉！” “有你这句话，我们当然就放心了！” “我感谢贵党相信我，我也相信只有共产党才能救中国！这句话，人家怕讲，我就敢讲！蒋介石这个王八蛋，我一定跟他拼到底！还有汪精卫，这个半王八蛋，我也时刻准备着跟他拼！” 贺军长的性格，一向直爽如剑。刘少奇心里舒口大气，觉得今天的此番托付，托对了。 刘少奇说：“贺军长，你带走好枪之后，我就把破枪、童子团的木棍上缴给武汉政府，算是交差了。” “刘先生，你们很聪明。可是，恕我老粗说一句，你们有时候，又不聪明。” 刘少奇一怔：“此话怎么讲？” “三千枝枪，让工人一人一支扛着，这是一支多大的队伍？我两把菜刀起家，也劈出个天地来了。你们随便一拉，就能拉出三千人。三千人呀，兵马数量我一向是最讲究的！” 刘少奇很觉得贺军长的话在理，于是便说：“我也说句实话。共产党，有时候，也会犯糊涂。眼下，天太黑，我们许多同志，一时间连自己有几根指头也数不清楚了。但是，我相信，贺军长，你也要相信，我们中国共产党人是会马上找到一条通向光明的道路的！” “我相信，怎么不信？我要不相信，今天我也就不秘密来武汉了！” “这几千枝枪，一定还会响的！” “而且握枪的手，还是共产党的手！” 刘少奇笑出声来，说：“你这话说得太好了！” 贺军长怎么是老粗呢，刘少奇想，一个大战略家哩！ 毛泽东走进大门，刚转过走廊，就差点被一个小个子青年撞上。 这个敦敦实实的小伙子笑起来很灿烂，他说：“哎哟对不起，我踩了你脚了。” 毛泽东说：“你这小同志，眼生得很。” 毛泽东走路其实也走得风快，兴许是他撞上了这个小伙子，但却被小伙子抢先道了歉。毛泽东于是对这
