Chapter 59 Letter to Gao Guizi[1]

(Summer 1936) Your Excellency Mr. Pei Wu: Comrade Ma Zhiming replied, saying that your Excellency agrees with the proposal of our National Defense Government and the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and I am very grateful.Today, the whole country is about to fall into a miserable situation. Those who belong to the family of eating hair and practicing the soil have no urgent task to save the country, and no work to fight against Japan.Our army passes through the north and the south, conquers the Three Qin Dynasties, the mission is to save China, and the mission is to resist Japan.Any individual, group, party, or army, whoever agrees with this purpose, will unite with it, and whoever disagrees with this purpose will attack it.Those who join them will increase the righteousness of the national revolution.Those who attack him say that they are real traitors and traitors, who will punish evildoers for the 400 million compatriots.Thousands of athletes led by Your Excellency fought in the Great Revolution in 1927 and in the Anti-Japanese War four years ago. This glorious history is shared by the people of the country.If you are an enemy of the Red Army, if you are driven by the traitorous leader Chiang Kai-shek, and turn to attack the rebels, then the past will be forgotten.From then on, on the revolutionary united front of the anti-Japanese war against traitors, there are the masses, the Red Army, and your volunteers. There will undoubtedly be countless more volunteers who will continue to flow out of the Yanhuang Huawei area and leave China in danger. It's Lai.In order to get rid of any doubts, and to be honest and trustworthy, I have listed a few items based on what you have shown to Comrade Ma and what we have seen, for the sake of understanding:

(1) The two armies keep their original defenses and do not invade each other. (2) Anti-Japanese war against traitors, plan long-term, do your best, and keep your army in a safe position. If there are any traitors who join your army to endanger them, we are willing to fight them with our strength. (3) Before your army can take public action, we are willing to keep the relationship between the two sides and all messenger exchanges absolutely secret. (4) Your army has not yet come to openly act. When our side attacks the traitor army (such as Jing Yuexiu[2]), we hope to adopt a passive attitude, that is, not to provide any assistance to our enemy.

(5) The food, socks and firewood of the Qingjian noble department belong to the friendly army, so they should try their best to help them.But please help us with the things we need (such as western medicine, cloth, etc.). (6) Sending representatives to each other to conclude a preliminary agreement on the anti-Japanese war against traitors on a common basis. (7) Establish the most confidential communication with each other (exchange passwords). (8) Guarantee the safety of the representatives of both parties and the people who come and go. Regardless of all or part of the above items that you can agree to, we are willing to start actual negotiations with you.When this country is dying, I will never forget the big disaster because of the small details.For the sincerity of saving the country, forgive the sages for deep insight.For those who are more advanced, as far as today is concerned, the resistance against Japan and the traitors cannot be accomplished without a broad united front. This is not only true in the country, but also in the international community.The soldiers in the several provinces around the northwest are not all traitors and traitors. Many of them are patriotic and ambitious, and tell them the disaster of subjugation and genocide. Chen Zhi uses the plan of joint national salvation to move them with the stupidity and danger of traitors and traitors. Are you trying your best to raise the issue? In the world, it unites all countries and nations that are enemies of Japan. It is actually one of the important programs for resisting Japan and fighting traitors. It is not necessary to talk about those who are far away, but they are great if they are close to the northwest. A strong Soviet Union.This country also has the same goal of anti-aggression with us, and has a long history of assisting China's anti-imperialist movement. It is not harmful but beneficial to make friends. I should try my best to make it.Attached are various political resolutions and proclamations of the Central Committee of our Party for your reference.Hearing his cry, begging for his friend's voice, a fierce tiger getting started, and a Confucian man fighting his arms, who said that Qin has no one and is willing to be humiliated by a subjugated slave?Specially hereby.
