Chapter 20 Chapter 19 The Death of Yuan and Wang

In late February 1929, when the Fourth Red Army and the Second and Fourth Regiments of the Jiangxi Red Army joined forces in Donggu, Mao Zedong, Zhu De and others learned that Jinggangshan had fallen, so they decided to lead their troops to the border of Fujian and Jiangxi to carry out guerrilla activities. At this time, no one expected that Yuan Wencai, who had been transferred to the Chief of Staff of the Fourth Red Army, and Liu Huixiao, who had been transferred to the Secretary-General of the Front Committee of the Fourth Red Army, left the army privately in Donggu.The main reason why Yuan Wencai, Liu Huixiao and others left the team privately was because they accidentally saw the document in the resolution of the "Sixth National Congress" of the CCP in Donggu on the issue of killing bandit leaders.They couldn't believe it, but they were terrified.

So they "discussed to leave the army and flee home. At that time, Yuan Wencai, Xie Guibiao, and Liu Huixiao each carried a pistol. Chili, garlic. The basket has a double bottom, and the shell gun is placed in the middle of the bottom. Xie Guibiao carried two cloth bags, which contained peanuts and a small scale, and the pistol was tucked under his armpit. With Liu Huixiao as a buyer of cowhide, Liu Huixiao carried an umbrella, called a small merchant who bought cowhide, and I brought a pair of ropes as a load of cowhide. After walking around the mountain road for more than 20 days, I arrived in Taihe, and three days later I arrived in Yongxin Xinyuanbei, Nanxiang, took over from Zhou Guichun (the former commander of the Red Thirty-two Regiment's special agent company). We were very happy at the time. After that, we returned to Ninggang immediately and lived in Lishushan, Bailu. The time was April 1929 ( May in the Gregorian calendar)."

After Yuan Wencai returned to Ninggang, he secretly met with Wang Zuo.At this time, the first independent regiment of the Red Army on the border has been formed, with Wang Zuo as its leader.Wang Zuo was very happy to see Yuan Wencai came back, and wanted Yuan Wencai to be the head of the regiment.Yuan Wencai was well aware of the mistake of leaving the team privately, and insisted on refusing to do so, so he asked Wang Zuo to ask He Changgong, Secretary of the Ninggang County Party Committee, to "ask for a guarantee". When He Changgong heard that Yuan Wencai had returned privately, he discussed with several standing members of the Ninggang County Party Committee.Unexpectedly, Long Chaoqing, Xie Xi'an and others from the native revolutionaries were deeply dissatisfied.He Changgong had no choice but to report to Wan Xi, inspector of the Special Border Commission.Wan Xi first had a very close friendship with Yuan Wencai, and felt that Yuan Wencai might have "difficulties" in leaving the team privately, and now it was time to employ people, so she gave Yuan Wencai a "warning within the party".Considering that the First Independent Regiment of the Red Army had been incorporated into the Fifth Red Army, Yuan Wencai was transferred back to Ninggang to serve as the captain of the County Red Guard Brigade.Liu Huixiao and Xie Guibiao are still working in the Ninggang County Party Committee and government.

Yuan Wencai happily accepted the punishment.After he served as the captain of the Red Guard Brigade in Ninggang County, he fought actively with the Red Army's Independent First Regiment led by Wang Zuo, and successively regained part of the lost territory on the border.In November of that year, he also defeated the Ninggang reactionary Jingwei regiment in Mu Village and killed the Ninggang county magistrate Chen Zongjing. As a result, the Red Guard brigade also developed rapidly, approaching a battalion. However, due to the long-standing and deep-seated conflict between the natives and Hakkas in Ninggang, Yuan Wencai, as the leader of the Hakka revolutionaries, was inevitably re-involved in the vortex of the conflict between the natives and Hakkas.Moreover, this contradiction developed into friction and disputes with the Yongxin County Party Committee and the Border Special Committee, which intensified.

Mao Zedong had already noticed the conflict between natives and natives on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi after the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops arrived in Ninggang in October 1927.In this regard, Mao Zedong once wrote in the "Report of the Jinggangshan Front Committee to the Central Committee": "There is another special thing on the border, which is the boundary between the natives and the natives. The natives of the locals are different from the Guangdong that colonized here hundreds of years ago. , Fujian nationality, there is a big boundary between the two, the historical hatred is very deep, and it has become a very fierce "ethnic" struggle. In our separatist areas, Ninggang, Suichuan, Lingxian, and Chaling, All of them have the problem of native nationality, and the problem of Ningkang is the most serious. In theory, this kind of boundary should not be introduced into the exploited workers and peasants, especially within the Communist Party. However, in fact, due to years of history Legacy, there are still a lot of traces of the boundaries between the natives and the Hakkas.”

Regarding this contradiction, when Mao Zedong and others were on the border, they did a lot of work, making the two ethnic groups gradually converge. When the main force of the Fourth Red Army went down the mountain in January 1929, the transfer of Yuan Wencai and Liu Huixiao was a masterpiece of Mao Zedong's effort to eliminate the contradiction between native and foreign.However, after Mao Zedong and the main force of the Fourth Red Army went down the mountain, this kind of conflict quietly arose again.At that time, Yuan Wencai was deeply involved in this contradiction, and directly developed into a confrontation with the Yongxin County Party Committee and the Hunan-Jiangxi border special, mainly due to the murder of Wan Xixian.

During this period, Liu Zhen, head of the Yongxin County Party Committee, married the younger sister of Long Qinglou, a local tycoon in Yongxintian.During the marriage, it happened that the Border Special Committee had something to do.Wan Xi, the inspector of the border special committee, sent someone to call Liu Zhen several times to come back to inspect the matter, but Liu Zhen refused.So the villains who joined the revolutionary team spread rumors that the girl from the Long family was a traitor and wanted to use Liu Zhen's relationship to break in and sabotage the revolutionary work, and shot Liu Zhen's wife to death.Later, Liu Zhen was captured and killed by Longqinglou on the way to a meeting in Nanchang.Someone took the opportunity to spread rumors, falsely accusing Liu Zhen that Wan Xixian was the cause of his tragic death.A group of people in Yongxin County believed it was true, and in the winter of 1929 organized the Yongxin Red Guards to question Wanxi Xianxing.Wan Xi was working in Jiulong Mountain at first, and after hearing the news, she fled into the deep mountains, but she was still caught by Yongxin Red Guards and brutally killed.

Yuan Wencaisu had a close relationship with Wan Xixian, and was extremely indignant at Wan Xixian's murder, so angry that he scolded the Yongxin County Party Committee.These words spread to Yongxin. At that time, Zhu Changxi and Wang Huai, members of the border special committee of Yongxin, had a grudge against Yuan Wencai, so they planted the seeds of disaster. In addition, Yuan Wencai has always "only believed in individuals, not the masses". When Mao Zedong was there, he only admired Mao Zedong personally, saying that "Mao Zedong is a talent from the Central Committee" and "I only listen to a Mao committee member". He was not used to the "party" phenomenon, and disagreed with Long Chaoqing, the leader of the Ninggang native revolutionary faction, on issues such as cracking down on local tyrants, dividing land, and personnel arrangements.After the Wanxi incident, the conflicts between them gradually intensified.At this time, some persons in charge of the Border Special Committee had great opinions on Yuan Wencai and others, and wanted to get rid of them quickly. They reported to the central government many times to reflect the problems of Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo, and classified Yuan and Wang as "bandits". Push to the opposite.With the aggravation of the conflict between natives and natives, it coincided with the resolution of the "Sixth National Congress" of the Central Committee to deal with the bandit issue, which provided an opportunity and a policy basis for the wrongful killing of Yuan and Wang.

At the end of 1928, the resolution of the Sixth Congress of the Communist Party of China was passed to the Jinggangshan base area. Regarding the tenth issue of the "Resolution on the Organization of the Soviet Power", the "Sixth National Congress" stipulates that "relations with bandits" are as follows: "Alliance with bandits or similar groups is only applicable before the armed uprising, and it is appropriate after the armed uprising." To disarm them and suppress them severely is to maintain local order and prevent the resurgence of counter-revolutionary leaders. Their leaders should be treated as counter-revolutionary leaders, even if they help armed uprisings. Such leaders should be completely wiped out. It is extremely dangerous to allow bandits to enter the ranks of the revolution or the government. These elements must be expelled from the revolutionary army and government agencies, that is, the most reliable part of them, and they can only be used to work behind the enemy's rear, and they must not be placed in their positions. within the scope of the Soviet government."

This resolution, indiscriminately adopting the policy of "severely suppressing" and "completely annihilating" the "bandit armed forces" is inappropriate. It is actually a "Left" erroneous policy.Although Yuan and Wang were born in the Green Forest, their army was already a peasant self-defense army under the leadership of the party before the reorganization. After the reorganization, Dalongsheng has become an important armed force of the Red Army. armed".Moreover, Yuan Wencai joined the party during the Great Revolution, and Wang Zuo also joined the party organization shortly after the reorganization, and they are all comrades in the party.Therefore, when Mao Zedong conveyed the "Sixth National Congress" resolution at the Bailu Conference, he convened a special meeting to analyze the situation of Yuan and Wang in detail, and made a clear decision that "Yuan and Wang cannot be killed".

However, some comrades from the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Special Committee and the Yongxin and Ninggang County Party Committees mechanically understood the policy spirit of the resolutions of the "Sixth National Congress". Regardless of the resolutions of the Bolu Conference and Mao Zedong's opinions, they still insisted that Yuan and Wang were " The erroneous view of "bandit leader" and advocated the killing of Yuan and Wang.On the one hand, this is because there is no specific analysis of the nature of Yuan and Wang's armed forces;Coupled with the fact that several leaders of the border special committee at that time also held this view, it accelerated the process of wrongly killing Yuan and Wang.For example, Yang Kaiming said in his "Comprehensive Report on the Situation of the Hunan-Jiangxi Frontier Soviet Area" on February 25, 1929: "The bandits on the border are one from Yuan Wencai's department and one from Wang Zuo's department." In the end, it will explode. Therefore, capturing the bandit masses and speeding up the quick solution to the bandit leaders should be urgent work on the border, and special attention must be paid to it." The above-mentioned views and attitudes were also emphasized in the Report, and it was proposed: "The problem of bandits——the border has three original strategies for this problem: the first is to adjust this as the best policy, and the second is to perfunctorily seek stability as the middle policy, three times and six times. The instructions of the Plenary Session are to solve it, this is the bottom policy.” “According to the current situation, the middle policy can no longer be implemented, the top policy can be implemented and fixed, but if it cannot be implemented, then I would like to ask whether to implement the low policy or find another way?” He also proposed: “The border regime Therefore, the first force that endangers the border is the bandits, and the regime on the border is not a real regime led by the Communist Party, but a coalition regime that cooperates with the bandits." The above-mentioned reports and documents of the leaders of the border special committee all regard Yuan and Wang as "bandits", and their mistakes are very obvious.It is precisely because of the spirit of the "Sixth National Congress" documents of the central government and the wrong guiding ideology of the border special committee, the tragedy of Yuan and Wang Zhi's wrongful killing happened. In the second half of 1929, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent Peng Qingquan (namely Pan Xinyuan) as an inspector to inspect the border between Hunan and Jiangxi.Under the guidance of Peng Qingquan, from January 18 to 21, 1930, the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Special Committee, the West Jiangxi Special Committee, and the Fifth Red Army Military Committee held a joint meeting in Yutian, Suichuan County. According to the "Report of Teng Daiyuan of the Fifth Army Military Commission" on April 27, 1930: "The fourth column participated in the general riot in western Jiangxi and captured Ji'an. Concentration. Following the guerrilla attacks in Taihe, Wan'an, Suichuan and other counties, I took the opportunity to participate in the joint meeting of the West Special Military Commission initiated by the West Jiangxi Special Committee... The joint meeting was held in Suichuan for 4 days smoothly, with 9 representatives, Peng Qingquan, the Central Inspector, was also present." According to the "Report of the Jiangxi Southwest Special Committee to the Provincial Party Committee" in March 1930: "When Comrade Peng Qingquan, the Central Inspector, came, he proposed to West Special to convene the Fifth Military Commission in Suichuan. In the joint meeting of the two special committees, in addition to accepting the correct proposition of Xit Dajian, it was also decided to unify the two special organizations on the border. Concentrate the Jiangxi Red Army's independent second, third, fourth, and fifth regiments to form the Sixth Army of the Red Army, and call the West The joint meeting of the Five Military Commissions of the Special Frontier Special Committee merged the Border Special Committee into the West Jiangxi Special Committee." It can be seen that the main content of the Yutian joint meeting was to attack Ji'an, merge the Jiangxi Special Committee and the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Special Committee, and establish the Sixth Red Army, etc. .These, under the circumstances at that time, were all positive and beneficial. However, the Yutian joint meeting made a mistake in deciding to solve Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo by force. This raised the internal conflict that could be resolved to the conflict between the enemy and ourselves, and made organizational preparations for killing Yuan and Wang by mistake. As for the specific inside story of the Tian joint meeting's decision to kill Yuan and Wang, no detailed document records have been found so far, only some fragmentary document sentences.For example, on July 13, 1930, "On the Passage of the Five Armies and the Situation of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutions in West Jiangxi, Hunan, East Hunan, North Jiangxi, and Southern Hubei" stated: "With the help of the Five Armies, in Suichuan Yutianxu From the opening on the 21st to the closing on the 21st. The spirit of this meeting was to merge the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Special Committee and the Jiangxi Special Committee, resolutely concentrate the Southwest Jiangxi Red Army guerrillas into the Sixth Army, prepare to actively seize Ji'an, break all local concepts, Resolutely fight against opportunism, resolutely implement the strategy of attacking the rich peasants, and resolutely solve Yuan and Wang." On July 22, 1930, "Comrade Liu Zuofu (Comprehensive Report to the Central Committee) in Southwest Jiangxi" recorded: "This issue was handled by Comrade Peng Qingquan, the inspector of the Central Committee." "Comrade Peng appointed nine comrades to hold a meeting on this issue. CY did not notify at all, and tried to trick Yuan and Wang into the city."It shows that the Yutian joint meeting made the decision to kill Yuan and Wang under the instructions of Peng Qingquan.After the Yutian meeting, the special committee "tricked" the two teams of Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo into Yongxin City on the grounds of attacking Ji'an and the army's reorganization, and then seconded the fourth column of the Fifth Red Army, leading to the murder of Yuan and Wang. The killing of Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo was directly triggered by the "Luo Keshao incident." Luo Keshao was the commander-in-chief of the reactionary Jingwei regiment in Chaling County, and the commander-in-chief of the "joint defense" of Chaling, Lingxian, Ningkang, Yongxin and Lianhua.Luo Keshao has an arsenal with more than 30 people who can make guns. Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo have always wanted to take over his arsenal and make it an arsenal for the Red Army on the border. "Just after the lunar year in 1930, Wu Guangtao, the new guerrilla leader of Chaling, suddenly came to report that Luo Keshao lived at his concubine's house in Jiaoping, two miles away from the mouth of the Chaling River. On the fourth day of the first lunar month (that is, February 2), Yuan Wencai , Wang Zuo led the troops to set off from Xincheng. That day, the weather was fine and there was a lot of frost in the morning. We gathered on the lawn and set off as a whole team after breakfast. When we set off, Yuan Wencai didn't say anything, only said to go to Chaling. In fact, we would have guessed it even if he didn’t say it. When the troops arrived at Huzhuoping for dinner, Yuan Wencai assembled the troops to speak. He said: “Luokeshao has an arsenal with more than 30 people, and it can make a 79-9 leak-case gun every day. We have to hand over all of it. Don't shoot at the workers, we have to spread the word to them, we have to mobilize them to come and make guns for us.' We set off at night. There were no clouds in the sky that night, and the mountain road could still be seen clearly. Yuan Wencai asked us not to light a fire, not to speak, and to divide our troops into three groups and march towards Jiangkou." Zheng Shanzhi: "Before and after Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo were killed." As a result, Luo Keshao was captured in Jiaoping, and 28 of Luo Keshao's soldiers were also captured. gunsmith. "Back in Xincheng, Yuan Wencai untied Luo Keshao, and served him with food and drinks. Yuan Wencai also invited Luo Keshao to play mahjong, but he had no energy at all. Yuan Wencai talked to him while playing mahjong. This incident aroused Xie Xi'an (Secretary of the Ninggang County Party Committee - Quoter's Note) was very dissatisfied and proposed to kill Luo Keshao. We were also a little puzzled. The squadron leader explained to us: "If you kill him, how can you go to Changsha to engage in steel and foreign salt?" We didn’t understand until after that. Afterwards, I heard that Xie Xi’an reported the matter to Long Chaoqing and the special committee.” Regarding this matter, Liu Liangyi, a soldier of the Red Army, recalled on July 4, 1969: "Yuan wanted to use Luo to collude the enemies of the five counties to come to the Red Army, and at the same time use gunsmiths to transport steel to Changsha to make guns. It would not be too late to kill Luo when it was done. At that time, Xie Xi’an and others reported Yuan Wencai’s ulterior motives to the Border Special Committee.” At that time, Ninggang County Party Committee Organization Director Liu Keyu recalled: “At that time, Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo happened to seize Chaling Luo Keshao, head of the door-to-door regiment, took him as a hostage, and asked Luo Keshao to hand over the personnel and equipment of his firearms station, and then he could be put back, otherwise, he would be killed." "Memories of Liu Keyu", August 24, 1978, internal interview material.At that time, Jiang Zhaoming, Chairman of the Su of Bailu Township, also recalled: "Yuan Wencai said to Luo Keshao: 'Don't be afraid, write a letter and give us the gun, and we will be together in the future.' Luo Keshao agreed at that time. Put it in the local tyrant's shed in Xiaoshuitou (a place specially reserved for local tyrants captured)." Jiang Mingming: "Speech at the Veteran Comrades Symposium in 1972". It can be seen from the memories of the above-mentioned parties: Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo captured Luo Keshao but did not kill him in an attempt to control his arsenal and use it for me.However, it was this "Luo Keshao incident" that directly triggered the killing of Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo.Later, "collaborating with Luo Keshao to harass the red government of Yongxin" constituted one of the important reasons for killing Yuan and Wang.However, in this matter, Yuan and Wang also had inappropriateness, that is, they did not express their thoughts to the special committee, and acted entirely on their own will, which caused troubles.Although Yuan and Wang acted with good intentions, they put a noose on themselves. On February 22, 1930, Yuan and Wang suddenly received a "letter from Committee Member Mao", saying that they wanted Yuan and Wang's troops to cooperate with the Fifth Red Army to attack Ji'an, and sent the troops to Yongxin City to listen to the compilation.Yuan and Wang have always admired Committee Member Mao, so they happily led their troops to Yongxin City in the evening.At that time, local armed forces from Yongxin, Lianhua, and Chaling also came, and it was like a formation attacking Ji'an.It is rumored that Yuan and Wang's troops were organized into three columns of the Sixth Red Army, with Yuan as the commander and Wang as the deputy commander.The Special Committee had already arranged accommodations for Yuan, Wang and the troops. Yuan Wencai was arranged at No. 22 Yinjia Lane, and Wang Zuo lived in the Yin Family Ancestral Hall. In the evening, the special committee notified the meeting.Both Yuan and Wang attended the meeting on time.The meeting was presided over by Peng Qingquan, inspector of the Central Committee.Unexpectedly, Peng Qingquan accused Yuan and Wang, without naming names, of "being edited and not transferred", "opposing the division of land", "colluding with local tyrants, destroying the Soviet government, and disturbing the Yongxin red regime" on the grounds of rectifying their thoughts.Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo were extremely annoyed by such unwarranted accusations, but they patiently refuted them one by one.Peng Qingquan was speechless, slapped the Browning pistol on the table angrily, and said, "Are you at fault?" Yuan Wencai said, "I did, and the problem is not as serious as you said." Wang Zuo is a fierce person, seeing Peng Qingquan like this, he also slapped his pistol on the table, and confronted Peng Qingquan.The meeting broke up badly. Although the meeting was fiercely debated, the special committee still treated Yuan, Wang and their troops with warm hospitality as usual.That night, the special committee arranged for the troupe of tea-picking opera to sing "Liu Hai Chops Firewood". On the 23rd, nothing happened as usual, and in the evening, there was a lot of food and wine for entertainment.However, the phenomenon of armed forces in other places buying white cloth and weaving tapes in shops has aroused Wang Zuo's vigilance. "Wang Zuo was vigilant, and discussed with Yuan Wencai, saying: 'Old Geng, it seems that there is a situation, we have to be on guard.' Yuan Wencai said: 'Don't be suspicious, how can you beat your own people?'" "Liu Keyu's Memories ", August 24, 1978, internal interview materials.How did Yuan Wencai know that on the evening of the 22nd, Peng Qingquan and the Border Special Committee had sent a letter to the Fifth Red Army (the Fifth Red Army had returned to the border guerrilla in December 1929), and sent Zhu Changxi and Wang Huai to the Fifth Red Army's garrison overnight An Fuzhou Lake asked Peng Dehuai to send troops to deal with Yuan and Wang immediately. Peng Dehuai felt very sudden after hearing the reports from special committee Zhu Changkai, Wang Huai and others.Wang Zuo once went to the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi border for guerrilla warfare with the Fifth Red Army, and performed well. Will he rebel now?He has some doubts.However, when the Front Committee was unable to command the Fifth Red Army, it was under the command of the Special Border Committee. Now, there are letters from the Central Inspector, and Zhu Changkai, the Secretary of the Special Committee, etc. asking face-to-face.In this regard, he later wrote in "Peng Dehuai's Self-Report": "The incident was so sudden and the time was so tight. It was very difficult to deal with such a thing. At that time, the Military Commission held a temporary meeting. The special committee and I jointly decided to send the four-column party Representative Liu Zongyi (Zhang Chunqing) led a part of the fourth column (30 miles away from Yongxin City) to approach the county seat." Peng Dehuai also said sadly: "If the report made by the comrades of the Special Committee was not true, then the Special Committee is also responsible, and I am also credulous. responsibility." The Fourth Column of the Fifth Red Army was ordered to rush to Yongxin on the evening of February 23, and it was almost dawn on the 24th when they arrived in Yongxin City.After arriving in Yongxin, they immediately surrounded Yuan, Wang and their army camps, each with a white tape on his arm as a mark, and changed a new password, and shot those who did not have a white tape or who did not match the password. Before dawn on the 24th, Zhu Changkai, Secretary of the Border Special Committee, was the first to break into Yuan Wencai's room. Yuan Wencai didn't know what happened, but was shot and killed on the bed by Zhu Changkai.Peng Wenxiang, Chairman Su of Yongxin County, who was in charge of solving Wang Zuo, was heading to Wang Zuo's residence. Wang Zuo heard the gunshots, and rushed to the east gate in the direction of Ninggang with Diao Feilin and other cronies.Unexpectedly, the east gate pontoon bridge leading to Ninggang has been demolished.Wang Zuo and others waded across the river, but the water was so deep that the river was deep. Wang Zuo and others could not swim, so they were drowned in Dongguan Lake. In this way, Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo, two figures who had made great contributions to the establishment of the Jinggangshan base area, fell under the gunpoint of the "Left" error. Afterwards, Li Xiaofu, Zhou Guichun, Xie Guibiao, Chen Mengping, Xie Huaguang and Zhu Youting, the main backbones of the Yuan Department, were captured and shot to death one after another.The rest of the fighters were locked up for three days. Those who were willing to stay were incorporated into the Fifth Red Army and part of the Ningkang Guerrilla Army. Those who did not want to be soldiers were paid travel expenses.The two armies of Yuan and Wang disappeared from then on. According to the newly discovered historical materials "Letter from 16 Communist Party Members of Ninggang County to Peng Dehuai's Special Committee and Military Commission Regarding the Yuan Wang Incident", when Yuan and Wang were killed, 16 Communist Party members including Xie Jiaoming and Liu Keyu Party members "detained in Yongxin", sent a joint letter to Peng Dehuai to the Special Committee, the Military Committee and various party departments, thinking that the Border Special Committee "set up this trap" and "surrounded Yuan, Wang and others to death", "It is very suspicious. Grinding teeth and heartbroken", it is because "brothers and central inspectors" misheard some people's slander, that "there was such an incorrect execution".The letter sincerely stated that "there is no other way to give up communism", "if you are ordered, of course you will be trained (doubled) to work", "I hope that the superior will understand our difficulties."However, it is not known whether Peng Dehuai received the appeal letter from Xie Jiaoming and others, and it is not clear whether the Special Committee and the Military Commission knew about it.After Yuan, Wang and more than 40 key members were killed, Xie Jiaoming (uncle of Yuan Wencai's wife) and Wang Yunlong (brother of Wang Zuo) gathered the remnants, "wired against the Communist Party" and joined the enemy bandits.From then on, the Jinggangshan military base fell into the hands of the enemy, and was reduced from a red zone to a white zone until it was liberated in 1949. Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo were wrongly killed, and the lesson is painful and heavy.At that time, the "reasons" for killing Yuan and Wang were mainly: (1) that Yuan and Wang were identified as "bandit leaders"; The Chaling Jingwei Regiment harassed the Yongxin red government." These charges are actually untenable, and they were imposed on Yuan and Wang.Needless to say, Yuan Wencai, Wang Zuo and their troops had shortcomings and mistakes.Although Yuan and Wang's units have been incorporated into the regular Red Army, many people are used to a free and undisciplined life and have a poor sense of discipline; Yuan and Wang are arrogant and only believe in individuals, not organizations; Yuan Wencai has already joined the army He went down the mountain, but left the team privately in the middle. Although he accepted the organizational punishment, it still had an impact on the team. Especially when dealing with such a major event as countering Luo Keshao, it violated the principles of the organization to act without asking for instructions or discussing it.However, these problems belonged to intra-Party contradictions, and they could be resolved by the methods used to deal with intra-Party contradictions. Yuan and Wang, who were already members of the Communist Party and generals of the Red Army, must not be killed as "bandits". The mistaken killing of Yuan and Wang was an unjust case in the early history of our party and our army.Chen Zhengren, an old comrade in the Jinggangshan period and former secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, recalled: "In October 1930, when the Red Army attacked Ji'an for the last time, I met Comrade Mao Zedong and told him about the killing of Yuan and Wang. He To say that these two people were wrongly killed is not talking about policy. After liberation, probably in 1950, when I was the Secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, when I reported to Comrade Mao Zedong the work situation in Jiangxi, I sometimes mentioned Yuan and Wang Comrade Mao Zedong’s views on the matter are the same as before, and have not changed, and he still believes that killing Yuan and Wang was wrong.” When Mao Zedong returned to Jinggangshan in May 1965, he also specially met with the widows of Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo, and held Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo’s widows. Wife Xie Meixiang's hand said: "Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo are gone. They have contributed to the victory of the Chinese revolution." "Mao Zedong in Jiangxi", Chinese Communist Party History Publishing House.Yuan and Wang were rehabilitated in the 1950s and were posthumously regarded as martyrs.This is something. From the tragedy of the deaths of Yuan and Wang, one can draw some lessons: 1. The influence of "Left" errors in the party must be eliminated. The "Left" error is the root of Yuan and Wang's tragedy.In our party, since the August 7th Conference, when opposing Right errors, we have neglected to criticize the "Left" errors that have grown. This has opened the way for "Left" errors.This "left" error continued to grow after the August 7th Conference. In the process of establishing the Jinggangshan base area, Mao Zedong was also accused of "retreating and fleeing", and was removed from his post as an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and secretary of the former Committee of the Autumn Harvest Uprising.The "Sixth National Congress" of the party held later still had a "Left" erroneous tendency, and only then did the "Resolution on the Organization of the Soviet Power" passed by the "Sixth National Congress".It was the "Left" policy clauses in this resolution that provided the border special committee with the "sword of Shang Fang". In addition, the border special committee's incorrect conclusions about Yuan and Wang led the central government to send inspector Peng Qingquan to deal with Yuan and Wang. king.This is the lesson of history.Deng Xiaoping once said: "'Left' things are terrible in the history of our party! A good thing was destroyed by him at once." The death of Yuan and Wang is the "terrible" thing in the history of our party scene.Yuan and Wang did a good job in Jinggangshan, but they were "killed" by the "Left" erroneous executors all at once. 2. Two types of contradictions of different nature must be correctly distinguished and handled. It should be admitted that Yuan Wencai, Wang Zuo and their troops had shortcomings and mistakes, but in the end it was a contradiction within the party, not a contradiction between ourselves and the enemy.Mao Zedong always adhered to the correct principle on the issue of Yuan and Wang, looked at the essence through the phenomenon, analyzed the specific situation, and implemented the central government's policies flexibly.At that time, it was a tense and complicated war environment. Not all the leaders of the central and border special committees who dealt with this incident were as mature politically as Mao Zedong. With prejudice, they confused two types of contradictions of different nature and killed their own Comrade, subjectively, he thought he was righteous and resolutely implemented the party's policies and defended the interests of the revolution.This cannot but be said to be an important reason for this tragedy.Therefore, the proletarian political party must not only have correct policies, but also cultivate a large number of policy-oriented and high-quality leading cadres in order to grasp the direction of the revolutionary cause and lead the revolution to victory.Otherwise, it will cause historical mistakes. 3. We must persist in investigation and research to prevent "little listening and credulousness". At that time, the Fifth Red Army Committee and leaders were influenced by the resolution of the "Sixth National Congress". They did not pay attention to the complicated situation in the border party and the Red Army at that time. , It is also a great lesson that led to the tragedy of Yuan and Wang. As mentioned above, it is by no means to delve into any personal responsibility, but to learn the lessons of history.
