Chapter 8 The eighth chapter is full of turmoil, and Luo Fu's writings irritate Chen Changhao

The Songpan campaign plan stipulated that the left and middle armies should attack Songpan from Aba and Rangkou via grassland respectively.At that time, the Red Army had no food, and had not been well rested for the long-distance battle. It was impossible to pass through the water and grass land with extremely harsh natural conditions and lack of logistical supplies without considerable time to prepare.From Zhuo Keji to the northwest to Aba, and then across the grassland to the east to Songpan, the road is thousands of miles away, and there are muddy swamps as obstacles. Even if the supplies are guaranteed, it will take nearly a month to reach.If the left and middle armies follow this plan to go around Songpan through the grassland in early July, they will hurt themselves and give the enemy the advantage of calmly preventing blockade, let alone quickly maneuver to destroy the enemy.Therefore, shortly after the Military Commission announced the plan, it quickly revised the deployment of the left and middle armies in the plan, commanding the northward troops to go straight to Maoergai through Heishui.

At the beginning of July, the 1st Army and the 30th Army were ordered to start from Kangmao Temple and other places, cross the Yakexia Mountain at an altitude of more than 4,800 meters, pass through Maheba, Zhigu, Changchangzhai, Yangrong, Changde and other places, and cross Changde Liangzi. , and then go through the upper, middle and lower Dagu, turn over Tuoluogang, and arrive at Shawo.All the way, callously, with hardships. On July 9, the vanguard arrived at Maoergai and started a battle with Hu Zongnan's garrison there. Maoergai is located in the west of Songpan, and it is the only place for the Red Army to attack Songpan from south to north or go out of Gannan.The first battalion of the Supplementary Brigade Supplementary Regiment of the 1st Division of the Kuomintang built fortifications here.The Red Army caught fire with the enemy, and soon pulled out the enemy's outlying strongholds, and then captured the area.Continue to Songpan.The First Army met Hu Zongnan's Liao Ang Supplementary Brigade at Yangjiaotang, which was less than a hundred miles away from Songpan.Because Maoergai has been lost, the enemy is stepping up the construction of blockhouses and fortifications in the Yangjiaotang area.The Red Army fought fiercely all day long and failed to conquer it, so they had to withdraw to Kalong.At the same time, the Fourth Front Army also launched a fierce attack northward from the Hongtupo and Xiaoxinggou areas south of Songpan, in accordance with the plan, and dealt a blow to the Ding Delong Independent Brigade of the Hu tribe, advancing the battlefield to the yak area 20 to 30 miles away from Songpan. ditch.The troops of the Red Army to the east of the Minjiang River also attacked to the north of Zhenjiang Pass, and fought fiercely with Li Wen's 2nd Brigade of the Hu Ministry, killing Li Youmei, the commander of the 4th Regiment, and two battalion commanders.From mid-to-late July, on the arc-shaped front from west to south, the fighting was fierce and saw-saw, and sometimes the gunfire was only a stone's throw away from Songpan.Hu Zongnan was also anxious to move his headquarters to Chengnan Mountain, and dispatched planes to conduct reconnaissance and bombing of the Red Army.

Due to Hu Zongnan's desperate resistance with superior firepower and solid fortifications, the Red Army has never been able to achieve a decisive victory, and many positions were lost. In late July, the Red Army's offensive stopped, starting from Lazi Mountain and Yangjiaotang in the west, heading south through Baozi Temple, Maoniugou, and Zhenjiang Pass to form a confrontation with Hu enemies.So far, the Songpan Campaign has actually ceased to be executed.Except for the first part of the 30th Army and most of the 33rd Army, the Red Army guarded east along the west bank of the Minjiang River. The first part of the Ninth Army was located on the line of Fubian and Dangba. The copies are in Lifan, Zhuo Keji and other places.

In the Battle of Songpan, due to lack of preparation, a large army of 100,000 troops moved, food and fodder could not be well guaranteed, and most of Hu Zongnan gathered in Songpan, and the Kuomintang Central Army Xue Yue led his troops to respond, so that the advantage of the first opportunity was obtained by the enemy. The campaign of the Red Army The plan was never implemented. In the meantime, Zhang Guotao frequently urged the central government to solve the so-called organizational problems. It was nothing more than fighting for personal power, which made it difficult for the central government to command the Red Army uniformly and delayed the actions of the Fourth Front Army.However, Zhang Guotao's heart to go west to Chuankang was not dead, and he showed it from time to time, which caused him to hesitate and hesitate in the action of going north as a last resort.This also prevented the implementation of the Songpan campaign plan.

In order to win over Zhang Guotao, it is necessary to unite the four armies to advance together, and it is necessary to adjust and strengthen the organization and leadership after the two armies join forces.Therefore, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee decided to add Zhang Tongtao as the vice chairman of the Military Commission.Soon, the Military Commission issued another notice, appointing Zhang Guotao as the general political commissar of the Red Army, in response to what Mao Zedong said to Li Fuchun before the Central Consolation Mission arrived in Zagunao.The central government also stipulated: "After the first and fourth front armies join forces, all armies will be directly commanded by the commander-in-chief and the general political commissar of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army." The numbers of the three, five, and thirty-two armies and the original four front armies remain unchanged.According to the suggestion of Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao, the Central Committee transferred three regiments from the Fourth Front Army into the First Front Army, namely the 32nd Regiment of the Fourth Army, the 270th Regiment of the 30th Army, and the 294th Regiment of the 33rd Army. The First Army transferred some cadres with command and staff experience to the Fourth Front Army as chiefs of staff.Some necessary adjustments were also made to the leading institutions and cadres of the Red Army.

After the two armies joined forces, in order to fight for personal power, Zhang Guotao used the excuse that the so-called organizational problems had not been resolved. He quarreled all the way, or sent people to lobby, or called the central government, or publicly raised it at the meeting. He would not give up until he achieved his goal.The Central Committee considered the fate of the Red Army and the future of the Communist Party of China, and made necessary compromises.Zhou Enlai, who was selfless and tolerant for the party, made the necessary "sacrifice" and offered to give up his position to satisfy Zhang Guotao's desire by "making compromises".Luo Fu also offered to give up the top position in the Party Central Committee and let Zhang Guotao take the seat. Mao Zedong thought that Zhang Guotao didn't like this castle in the sky without military power, so it failed to materialize.Mao Zedong's consideration was correct.He is too familiar with Zhang Guotao, because they have dealt with each other more than once, and the history written by Zhang Guotao has already fully demonstrated this point.

Although Luo Fu's "abdication" has not been fulfilled, his heart, character, and style are always different from those of Zhang Guotao. In this way, Zhang Guotao was promoted from a leader of the front army to one of the giants of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. The general political commissar is also the vice chairman of the Military Commission. The political commissar directly leads the command."Facing vicious mountains and rivers, internal and external troubles, the central government had to make necessary concessions to Zhang Guotao in order to move forward better!

Zhang Guotao's personal power in the Red Army was resolved, and Luo Fu, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and other central leaders unanimously affirmed the heroic struggle and indomitable spirit of the commanders and fighters of the Fourth Front Army in implementing the central line at the Luhua Conference.The various concessions and painstaking efforts of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made Zhang Guotao think that all the efforts he had made since joining forces in Maogong were not in vain.What he wanted was finally in his hands.After joining forces, the two fraternal troops should be united as one, moving forward in unison.

But history is not as beautiful as the poet imagined!Not as good as the prophet's prophecy!The Chinese Revolution, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and the Communist Party of China, how many stories of disasters and disasters are hidden in this disaster-ridden expedition? The ruthless history finally made a mockery of the concessions made by the Chinese Communists. 1. After the Fourth Front Army joined forces, in order to strengthen political work, the General Political Department published a publication called "Must Read for Cadres".Luo Fu, Kai Feng, Chen Changhao, Bo Gu, and Yang Shangkun formed an editorial committee.Each article is discussed by the editorial board when each issue of the journal is published.This was a decision made in view of Zhang Guotao's resentment after Kai Feng's article "Lenin on Federation" was published in "Red Star".Luo Fu is based on the feelings of two conversations with Zhang Guotao. He deeply feels that Zhang Guotao always doubts the strategic policy of the Party Central Committee to go north to Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu. Plan to decentralize.Going west to Chuankang, aiming at the Party Central Committee's policy of going north, is essentially a route going south to retreat and avoid war.Luo Fu believes that going north and going south are two opposing routes. Many cadres must lack understanding of this, and their thinking may be vague. Maybe some comrades in the Fourth Front Army thought that Zhang Guotao’s proposition was correct, and that it was the Party Central Committee’s “intentional "Having trouble with Zhang Guotao, "deliberately embarrassing" the Fourth Front Army.In particular, the Battle of Songpan was not fought well, and there was some boredom up and down. Will this cause doubts about the strategic policy of the Party Central Committee to go north?Since the army marched northward from Maogong to Maoergai and Heishui, due to the lack of food supply, the physical exhaustion of the soldiers could not be supplemented as it should be. In addition, the epidemic of diseases and plagues has greatly reduced the number of troops, and the loss is not small.Luo Fu heard the report and learned that during the 18-day march of the First Army Corps, 120 people were reduced, accounting for 10% of the total number of the team.As the person in charge of the Party Central Committee, when he thinks of these things, he has worries.If anyone still wavers on the issue of going north, and keeps entangled in this issue, the whole party and the army cannot unite their will and actions, and cannot go all out to implement the established strategic policy of the Party Central Committee to go north, then it will be even more troublesome.So when he had time to march, he wrote an article "Going north and going south is a struggle between two lines", and handed it over to the comrades on the editorial board of "Must Read for Cadres" for discussion.

At the discussion meeting, after Luo Fu briefly introduced his motivation for writing and the main points of the article, Chen Changhao angrily slapped the table, pointed at Luo Fu's article and said: "What kind of dog egg article are you talking about? What dog egg two routes? If you want to publish this article, I will call on the comrades of the Fourth Front Army to rise up and oppose your dog egg center." What Chen Changhao said was vulgar and ugly enough.Chen Changhao is from Hubei. He has a habit of calling "dog eggs" when he speaks in a hurry. Luo Fu's article was discussed as soon as it was discussed, and it seemed to have caused an uproar.

Why is Chen Changhao so disgusted with Luo Fu's article?So angry?He seems to be less strategic than Zhang Guotao when he speaks. It can be said to be straight to the point, and he did it with a real gun. Kai Feng immediately came out to stop: "Speak up if you have something to say. Losing your temper and cursing others will not help solve the problem." Zhang Guotao knew that Kaifeng's article "Lenin on the Commonwealth" was criticized by Zhang Guotao, and it goes without saying that it was Luo Futong's anger.Although he had studied with Chen Changhao at Sun Yat-Sen University in Moscow, had cut candles to the west window, and had an old friendship with him, but because he was not convinced by Zhang Guotao's criticism, and he always believed that Chen Changhao was Zhang Guotao's right-hand man, it can be said that he was Zhang Guotao's right-hand man. spokesperson.Luo Fu's article didn't mention Zhang Guotao's name, why did you, Chen Changhao, get so angry?So at this time, of course, he had to stand up and speak for Luo Fu confidently. Luo Fu said patiently: "Comrade Kaifeng spoke well. If you have an opinion, discuss it calmly. Cursing people will not help solve the problem." Bogu couldn't hold his breath anymore, he took Luo Fu's words and said: "What we're going to discuss now is whether the point of view in the article is correct. If there is a problem, we can correct it. There is no need to get so angry." Chen Changhao said angrily: "I put on the big label of line struggle at every turn, do I want to punish people?" Yang Shangkun explained on the side: "Comrade Luo Fu's article is nothing more than trying to unify the thoughts of the whole party going north. I don't think there is any other malicious intent." Chen Changhao argued: "Going north is about going north, why bother to criticize going south." Kai Feng pushed Chen Changhao back: "Some comrades in the party like to talk about going south! This is a fact, not a man-made contradiction." Luo Fu saw that Chen Changhao was not thinking clearly, and was afraid that the publication of the article would cause misunderstandings among some comrades and increase unnecessary ideological work, so he took a step back and said: "My level is low, and the article may not be written well, but there is no bad motive. Since Comrade Changhao has an opinion, I don't think it should be published." Luo Fu, who is kind, sincere, modest, generous, and quite cultivated, always puts the overall situation of the revolution first, and did not insist on publishing his articles. Luo Fu's article was shelved because of Chen Changhao's firm opposition.Because it is not published, it cannot be known to the world.However, it can be judged from the title that this is the first article discussing the war with Zhang Guotao during the Red Army’s Long March, and it should be said to be the first article in the history of the Communist Party of China to oppose Zhang Guotao’s wrong southward route.It is not without regret that the chaos of war obliterated its existence, making it impossible for future generations to read its full text. After the seminar, Yang Shangkun was not convinced, and asked Luo Fu to go to Mao Zedong to report the matter, hoping to hear Mao Zedong's opinion.Because they believed that Mao Zedong always looked at problems better than others. After listening to Yang Shangkun and Luo Fu's vivid description of the seminar, Mao Zedong burst out laughing.Immediately pointing to Luo Fu, he said: "You Zhang Wentian, you are just a scholar, you are ignorant, what are you doing writing these articles now! It's useless at all!" Luo Fu said unconvinced: "Unify thinking and better implement the strategic policy of the Party Central Committee going north." Mao Zedong still smiled and said: "Can Zhang Guotao, Chen Changhao and others listen to them? They have a lot of people, guns, and wealth. Why does Chen Changhao swear at people? It's not because of Zhang Guotao's influence." Yang Shangkun said: "What if they insist on going south?" Mao Zedong replied: "Patience, struggle, wait, don't rush." Mao Zedong, who is well-versed in affairs, indeed has a better view of problems than the scholar-type Luo Fu. Luo Fu wrote an article about the struggle going north and going south, needless to say, it soon spread to Zhang Guotao's ears.Zhang Guotao became less impetuous and more peaceful due to the resolution of the organizational problem, which stirred up another layer of waves. Based on what Zhang Guotao had seen and heard since he joined the army, he deeply felt that his will could not be stretched, and he even felt that the central government was eager to "control" the Fourth Front Army.For more than a month, he believed that the "performance" of the important members of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was wonderful enough.He always believed that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had incurred military defeat because of the mistakes of the Soviet policy.Now there is only "means of control" to beg for mercy.At the Lianghekou meeting, Bogu satirized his policy of going west to Chuankang as "sparrows fly into the gutter", which once made him very angry.I thought that you, a "young man" from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, dared to speak out sarcastic and insulting words, and ridiculed and attacked me Zhang Guotao; Just then he made his debut again, full of gongs and drums, saying that I made a wrong route when I went west to Chuankang, and I deserved to die.Although Mao Zedong, a wily and calculating man, did not beat me with a dogmatic whip like those who stayed in Russia, but when discussing issues with him, he always insisted on his own views, talked about things, and reserved his own opinions, and it was difficult to change his mind.He often doesn't show up, waving a goose feather fan behind the scenes to control the activities of the CCP, and act according to his will.All these and all these are nothing more than the performance of Mao Zedong and other old guerrillas in conjunction with Luo Fu, Qin Bangxian, Kai Feng and other students studying in Russia to deal with me Zhang Guotao.Since the important members of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China "provoked" incidents again and again, I, Zhang Guotao, could not remain silent. The man surnamed Zhang had been beaten several times on the stage of the Communist Party of China, and he had never tried anything. I have been taught.Could it be that I, Zhang Guotao, am a fish on an anvil and can be slaughtered by others!As a veteran of the CCP, I have the responsibility to "correct" the "mistakes" of these important officials and save the "failure" of the CCP.Today, since I hold an important position in the military and I am also a veteran member of the Politburo elected by the Sixth National Congress, I have to overcome obstacles and forge ahead in the face of difficulties to solve the party's "mistakes". The rift between Zhang Guotao and the CCP is expanding violently. Zhang Guotao's personal ambitions are constantly expanding. The Songpan campaign plan of the Red Army's struggle against the enemy has not been implemented, and the enemy's situation is rapidly developing towards the disadvantage of the Red Army. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Red Army are facing a dangerous test in history. In the first ten days of July, Chiang Kai-shek made a series of speeches entitled "The Significance of the Central Army's Pursuit and Suppression of the Red Bandits" to officers of Xue Yue's 90th Division, 92nd Division, 96th Division, 99th Division, and 295th Brigade in Chengdu. "And the Achievements of Its Passage", he talked about the "feat of suppressing the Red Army" in order to encourage the soldiers to serve.At the same time, a meeting of leaders above the division headquarters was convened. At the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek made two estimates on the movement of the Red Army in Northwest Sichuan: one was to leave Gannan from Maoergai and Songpan via Lazikou, and the other was to leave Pingwu from Lifan. , Qingchuan, Bikou, along the Yinping ancient road and then out of Wenxian and Wudu to join the Red 25th Army operating in Shaanxi-Gansu in the eastern part of Xuhai.At the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Xue Yue to lead his troops to advance the former enemy headquarters of the Second Route Army to Wen County in early August, and Zhou Hunyuan's column advanced to Wudu to intercept the 25th Red Army.Wu Qiwei's column marched northward to Pingwu and Qingchuan, and contacted Hu Zong's south.The second column in the south of Hu Zong of the Third Route Army was under the command of Xue Yue, concentrated at Songpan, Zhangla, and Huangshengguan, and used Hu's troops to enter and leave the upper and lower seats as blockades.Chiang Kai-shek tried in vain to block the two possible routes for the Red Army to break through. Chiang Kai-shek's troops are being mobilized frequently.At this time, the Zhouhua South Brigade of Xue's Ou Zhen Division had already arrived in Jiangyou; part of Wu Qiwei's column entered the Pingwu Kuoda area to take over Hu Zongnan's defense in Pingwu. Hu Zongnan concentrated the main force on the Songpan line and sent the first division The third battalion of the Supplementary Brigade Supplementary Regiment was stationed at Shangbaozuo; the second guerrilla detachment, Zhang Laixiao, was stationed at Asirong; Li Jiayu's troops occupied Weizhou; Wang Zuanxu's troops occupied Mao County;Enemy forces from all walks of life are narrowing their encirclement of the Red Army step by step. The severe enemy situation had to require the Red Army to change its plan.At the beginning of August, the Central Military Commission decided to abandon the deployment of attacking Songpan and implement the Xiatao campaign plan instead.To capture Aba, quickly advance northward to the Xiahe River Basin, assault the right side of the enemy's encirclement line, and press the enemy eastward, with a view to destroying the main force of Chiang Kai-shek's enemy in the Taohe River Basin, forming a situation that develops in the vast area of ​​southern Gansu. According to the plan of the Xiatao Campaign, the various units of the Red Army moved northward and arrived at Maoergai.Temporarily freed from the enemy, the troops were able to catch their breath. Maoergai is located in Jinchuan and Jinchuan. The local Tibetans call it Maoge Ayen, and the chieftain's name is Suolang. It has 18 villages under its jurisdiction, with a radius of more than 800 miles. When the Red Army came, there were 468 households and more than 1,200 people here.During the reign of Emperor Gaozong and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, there were changes in Sichuan and Jinchuan.The Tibetans used their nests to fight against the Qing soldiers. The Qing government spent 5 years with their troops and wasted 70 million taels of silver. They used countermeasures, built long sieges, and cut off waterways. Only then will the chaos be quelled.As early as in the Kangxi reign of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the chieftains around Maoergai in Jinchuan and Jinchuan had been in constant turmoil, and the Qing emperor had to work hard for ten years. Kangding) to Danba is the south road; the one from Lifan to Fubian is the west road; the one from Songpan to Zhuokeji is the north road; the one from Muping to Ekeshi is the middle road. .For two or three hundred years, the Maoergai area has never been appeasement.Now that the Red Army is in such a dangerous place, it should be said that the Kuomintang army could only wish for it, but on the contrary, the Red Army has won a short-term chance to recuperate. Maoergai, one of the seventy-two chieftains of Songpan, occupied by Suolang, is a plateau mountainous area inhabited by Tibetans.Most of the Tibetan watchtowers are built on the mountainside, about three or four feet high, and they live in layers. There are holes on all sides of each layer, which can be used to release guns or carry cannons.Between the floors, a single log is used as a ladder, dug into a zigzag shape, and the recess can only accommodate toes.The Han people who migrated from other places made their houses with wooden boards, and the upper floors were laminated with stone chips. The lower floors of the wooden houses raised livestock, and the upper floors lived in people.Around the wooden houses, there are gentle rolling hills and sparse grasslands everywhere.There are also green and yellow barley waiting to be ripened in irregular dams.In the corner of the mountain, there are clusters of lavender and chrysanthemum flowers blooming. White sheep and black and yellow yaks roam on the sloping grass slopes, which is somewhat leisurely. After the troops stationed in Maoergai, since there was no war, Zhang Guotao felt that the time had come to further fight for power from the central government, so he proposed to the central government to thoroughly "solve the problem of political line" and asked to "review the line of the central government."He thought that the time had come to "save the Central Committee" and "clear up" the "mistakes" of the Central Committee. He, who thought he represented the correct line of the Central Committee, would naturally make his debut. And Luo Fu, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and others, since the two armies joined forces, in the process of dealing with Zhang Guotao, they also deeply felt that Zhang Guotao was difficult to deal with, and they would raise this problem to be solved, and then raised that problem to be studied. , often extraneous, difficult to deal with.However, considering that Zhang Guotao is a commander in chief of an army of 70,000 to 80,000 and a prince of one party, the power he represents cannot be underestimated.And some ideological differences after the first and fourth front armies joined forces, as well as the next strategic approach, etc., also need to be discussed and resolved in a meeting.Therefore, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to hold a Politburo meeting to resolve intra-party disputes while the troops were raising food in the Maoergai area and preparing to pass the grassland. Zhang Guotao stayed in Maoergai for a few days, and then he received a meeting notice. Together with Chen Changhao and more than ten guards, he rode his horse to Shawo (Edeng Village), one or twenty miles away from Maoergai. go to a meeting. Shawo is one of the 18 Maoergai villages. It is a small village inhabited by Tibetans. Surrounded by mountains and lush forests, it forms a world of its own. Zhang Guotao and Chen Changhao entered the Shawo Valley and passed several sentry posts along the way.Zhang Guotao thought to himself, the place where the meeting is held is still quite heavily guarded. The venue is located in a Lama Temple in Erdeng Village.This Lama Temple is one of the few temples built by Maoer.A total of 11 people attended the meeting, including Luo Fu, Bo Gu, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai, Zhang Guotao, Chen Changhao, Liu Bocheng, Fu Zhong, Kai Feng, and Deng Fa. The meeting was first reported by Luo Fu.He focused on the purpose of this meeting, which was mainly to unify the understanding of the party's political line and solve organizational problems. Before the meeting, the CCP had entrusted Luo Fu to draft a "Resolution on the Political Situation and Tasks after the Merge of the First and Fourth Front Armies." Luo Fu gave a speech at the meeting based on the spirit of the resolution he drafted.After Luo Fu finished his report, Mao Zedong handed over the manuscript of the resolution to Zhang Guotao. Zhang Guotao read it carefully, and saw that the main points written above were that the political line of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was correct. There have been mistakes in the military line, and the Zunyi Conference has properly corrected it; after the Zunyi Conference, the central government has implemented a correct line; the whole party and the army should unite around the central government and continue to fight for Soviet China. struggle. While watching, Zhang Guotao pondered over the wording of some major issues in the resolution.I thought to myself, Luo Fu really deserves to be a scholar of the CCP, with a pen.No matter how ingenious and euphemistic the text is, it always defends the CCP’s Soviet policy falsely and obsequiously, and does everything possible to affirm the achievements of the Zunyi Conference.Regarding the Zunyi meeting, he had discussed it with Luo Fu not long ago. Is the Zunyi meeting legal?He has always been skeptical, and now Luo Fu has affirmed it in the resolution he "concocted" and "threatened" that "after the enlarged meeting of the Zunyi Politburo corrected the mistakes made by the Party Central Committee in the military, the military leadership There is no doubt that it is completely correct. Therefore, the Army on the one hand won many great victories after the Zunyi Conference and completed the strategic policy predetermined by the Party Central Committee.” In Zhang Guotao's view, this is simply "nonsense". The Central Committee and the First Army were driven to the western frontier of China by Chiang Kai-shek's troops. Can the "distressed" situation he witnessed after joining forces be a great victory?This is simply self-deception, defending the wrong political line of the CCP. After Zhang Guotao had this basic view on the draft resolution, he didn't say a word, and passed it on to other participants as if nothing had happened.But Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Bo Gu, Kai Feng, Deng Fa and others who participated in the meeting all replied that they had seen it.Zhang Guotao was taken aback, and immediately felt that the princes who attended the meeting had not only seen it, but might have discussed it, but he alone didn't know about it.It seems that this was prepared in advance by Mao Zedong and others—a scene in which the majority overwhelmed the minority to force him to accept opinions.He looked at everyone's expressions again, except that Mao Zedong was smoking there, as if nothing had happened, the other princes were more serious.He immediately noticed that the atmosphere in the venue was a little tense, which was unusual. Luo Fu adjusted his glasses, looked at everyone and said: "Please discuss and share your opinions." Mao Zedong was the first to ask to speak. Mao Zedong said: "After the meeting of the First and Fourth Front Armies, the armed forces of the Soviet revolution have been greatly strengthened, and the prospect of a great victory for the Soviet revolution has been launched. After the Lianghekou Conference, our strategic policy is to concentrate the main force to attack the north and create the Shaanxi-Gansu Soviet Area. The base area is a historical task placed in front of the First and Fourth Front Armies, so as to completely break the encirclement and blockade of Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang, and thus win the victory of the Soviets in the whole of China. "However, the fraternal unity of the First and Fourth Front Armies is a necessary condition for the completion of the creation of the Sichuan-Shaanxi-Gansu New Soviet Area. Any intentional or unintentional tendency to undermine the unity of the First and Fourth Front Armies is harmful to the Red Army and beneficial to the enemy. .” Then Mao Zedong fully affirmed and praised the great achievements made by the First Army and the Fourth Army in the Long March against the Kuomintang army's siege and interception.At the same time, he affirmed the correctness of the political line of the Party Central Committee after the Zunyi Conference, and made some specific opinions on the current central work.Mao Zedong also specifically talked about the need to resolutely oppose all kinds of Right opportunist vacillations in the army. The specific manifestation is that he has a skeptical attitude towards the strategic policy decided by the Party Central Committee, dare not advance boldly, and tries to stay away from the enemy and avoid Fighting, no confidence in creating new bases.Mao Zedong emphasized that this harmful tendency is the greatest danger to the implementation of the current strategic policy. Zhang Guotao listened carefully to Mao Zedong's speech and paid attention to the meaning of his every sentence.He was already mentally prepared, thinking that Mao Zedong would insinuate and "attack" the Fourth Front Army, especially himself. This was an inevitable reflection of his distorted attitude towards people and things.There were many aspects of Mao Zedong's speech that he could not accept. He thought of it and fought back, but after thinking about it, he listened to the high-level remarks of the princes and saw what other wonderful remarks they had. After Mao Zedong spoke, no one continued to speak. Zhou Enlai was sick to attend the meeting due to the cold wind when he crossed the snow-capped mountains.Zhu De lowered his head slightly, as if deep in thought.Bogu was smoking a cigarette with his eyebrows frowned, his gaze behind his glasses was extremely stern.Kaifeng looked out the window without blinking, as if he was thinking about something.After Mao Zedong finished speaking, he lit a cigarette and smoked slowly.Zhang Guotao looked at this, and then at that, and kept beating drums in his heart: It seems that Guotao is going to the "Hongmen Banquet" of the CCP today. Luo Fu once again inspired the participants to speak and express their opinions on his report. Zhu De spoke, followed by Deng Fa and Kai Feng.All three of them agreed with Luo Fu's report and Mao Zedong's speech.In particular, in Kaifeng's speech, he mentioned the Northwest Federal Government established by Zhang Guotao, and criticized it in a few words. Sitting there, Zhang Guotao felt very uncomfortable. Although he was not on pins and needles, he felt quite impetuous and depressed. He couldn't bear it anymore, and after Kai Feng spoke, he continued: "The heroes in Liangshanbo don't know each other if they don't fight. It doesn't matter if they quarrel. The differences between us are not worth making a fuss about. We all have years of struggle experience. It should not be difficult to seek understanding. We hold a meeting here. It's about gaining understanding, not widening differences." Everyone nods.Zhang Guotao paused and continued: "However, I regret that we did not clarify the issue clearly at the first meeting in Fubian, which caused some unnecessary barriers and even made some unnecessary remarks. For example, Comrade Kai Feng wrote an article criticizing the Northwest The federal government; Comrade Luo Fu wrote an article criticizing the wrong route to go south; some even said that Zhang was a warlord who wanted to blackmail the central government with military strength; Some people rely on their seniority and look down on all members of the Politburo. They want to destroy the entire Central Committee in the name of correcting its mistakes. Some people say that the position of the General Political Commissar completely obliterates the authority of the Chairman of the Military Commission and the entire Central Committee. It completely portrays me, Zhang Guotao, as a shameless face." Before Zhang Guotao could continue, Mao Zedong immediately interjected: "There are many such rumors. For example, some people say that the surname Mao is Cao Cao, and that the central government has become Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Some people say that the political line of the central government is wrong, and now the only way to rule the entire party and army is by means of warlords and bureaucrats. This meeting, It’s about solving those problems.” Zhang Guotao took Mao Zedong's words and said: "The political line of the central government may be wrong, or the Communist International may be wrong, or our implementation may be wrong. Furthermore, times have changed, and we are still clinging to the dogma and unwilling to change. Today, we are here to review the central government. The political line of the Communist Party of China is by no means the same as overthrowing the entire Central Committee. We have all experienced amazingly hard struggles, and we have all sold our strength for communism. The party cannot abandon us, and we must never abandon the party. At the Sixth Congress , Some people say that comrades who have made mistakes are still the best comrades in the party, and such comrades are even rarer now. Therefore, when we discuss political issues, we should not involve the issue of responsibility.” When everyone heard Zhang Guotao's high-level remarks, there was indeed a "level". It was nothing more than negating the party's political line and at the same time putting "ideological burdens" on the comrades who implemented the line, so that such comrades could "fight back." Zhang Guotao also plausibly said: "At this meeting, it seems that we should not hastily affirm whether the political line of the Central Committee is correct or wrong, but we can be sure that the Soviet movement has not won, but failed. The reason why we retreated to the Fanren of Ancient Xirong today No one can deny the fact of this failure. As for the reason for the setback of the Soviet movement, it can neither be said to be due to the strength of the enemy's aircraft or artillery, nor can it be regarded as just our military miscalculation. In my humble opinion, The main reason is that this movement is out of date and has not been accepted by the masses. In my opinion, it is better to roll up the flag of the Soviet for the time being. The Zunyi Conference affirmed that the central political line was correct, but said that the military line was wrong. This seems to be the result of the cause .” Bogu was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Guotao's statement, and immediately retorted: "Comrade Guotao said that the Soviet movement had completely failed. I do not agree with this view. In fact, the policies of the Soviet movement were decided by the Communist International and passed by the Sixth Congress of the Communist Party of China. It must not be said that it was wrong. We The Soviet movement suffered some setbacks in some areas, so it cannot be denied because of this. If you hold this view, it is a completely pessimistic argument.” Kaifeng also said: "The issue of the political line has already been concluded in Zunyi. At that time, my thinking was not clear. After half a year of practice, I think the conclusion made at that meeting is correct, and there is no need to discuss it now." Mao Zedong immediately interjected: "Whether the central government's political line is wrong or not can only be reviewed by the First and Fourth Front Armies. Even if there are problems, they can only be discussed later when conditions permit." Zhou Enlai: "Since the enlarged meeting of the Zunyi Politburo, the line of the Party Central Committee has undoubtedly been correct. Otherwise, the two main Red Armies would not have been able to join forces successfully." Everyone was almost unanimous in their affirmation of the political line since the Zunyi Conference, and even Chen Changhao couldn't stand up against it.Because both Chen Changhao and Fu Zhong had read the resolution drafted by Luo Fu before the meeting, they basically agreed and did not raise any more objections, so it was inconvenient to cheer for Zhang Guotao at this time. Zhang Guotao felt a little isolated. It seemed that he wanted to review the political line of the central government. So he avoided this unclear question and talked about other things: "In my opinion, the central government should also select some new people to join the Politburo, so as to strengthen the leadership role of the central government." Luo Fu interjected: "The addition of members of the Politburo must be decided by the party congress and cannot be handled casually." Zhang Guotao immediately retorted: "Qin Bangxian, Wang Jiaxiang, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu present here, including you Luo Fu, were not elected by the Sixth National Congress, and the Politburo members elected by the Sixth National Congress are only me and Comrade Enlai. The other gentlemen are from the future. It was supplemented by various meetings. This is not a new invention in the history of the CCP, and it is not worth making a fuss about. Since the central government exists in the First Army, it only needs to convene a meeting of the Politburo to make a decision. Such things used to happen. Luo Fu felt strange. When the troops were stationed in Luhua last month, when Zhang Guotao asked him to talk about the Zunyi meeting, he thought that the Politburo meeting was illegal. The reason was not the party congress. Was the election of the meeting valid?Doubtful.Mainly dissatisfied with Mao Zedong's entry into the Standing Committee.Now, in order to push his subordinates into the central government, Zhang Guotao also said that it can be supplemented without going through the plenary meeting of the Central Committee, and that it can be resolved by convening a meeting of the Politburo.Go back and forth, turn your hands into clouds, turn your hands into rain, the organizational principles of the Party Central Committee can be interpreted according to his needs, typical pragmatism!Zhang Guotao's sophistry has reached an unbelievable level.洛甫摇摇头,心里暗自感到好笑。 毛泽东一听,张国焘在这里无非是为四方面军争权,其实质是争取在中央多找几个他的代言人。不然,在中央的会议上,他总是居于少数。何况在向毛儿盖进军途中,张国焘已经向中央提出进政治局的四方面军干部的名单,还来回商量过好几次,于是说道: “政治局增加四方面军的干部,这个我没意见,但不宜过多。是否增加陈昌浩和周纯全两同志就行了。因为中央还包括二方面军和全国白区的秘密组织。中央委员,可考虑增加一些四方面军的同张国焘的这个建议,毛泽东只同意了一半,因为在下面,张国焘提出四方面军的六、七个干部可以进政治局,于是不服气地说: “四方面军的干部,如果只同意一两人进政治局,那么,是否立即召集一次高级干部会议呢?特别是现在,一、四方面军的干部互有隔阂,对中央也有不满,让大家发表发表意见。由一、四方面军干部组成的高级干部会议,应该是合法的,也是必要的。如果有人过度敏感,以为这样的高级干部会议将由四方面军的同志占多数,不免是想入非非。我可以声明,四方面军的同志,决不会在高级干部会议中要求占多数。只是想有发表意见的机会而已。召开高级干部会议,将是实施党内民主,解决党内各种歧见纷争的有效途径。” 毛泽东看了一眼张国焘说: “现在是在军事行动中,不能谈什么党内民主,一切只有以中央的命令行事!” 张国焘白了毛泽东一眼,没有再继续讲下去。 会场静了一会。 洛甫抬头问张国焘: “国焘同志,你的意见发表完了没有?” 张国焘淡淡地说: “暂且就说这些,以后有机会再谈。谬误之处,请诸位批判。” 洛甫转向大家: “还有些什么意见?” 毛泽东吸了一口烟说: “我再讲几句。其实洛甫同志的这个决议草案在开会前同昌浩、傅钟几位同志商量过,他们是同意的。国焘同志对苏维埃运动的看法,与我们略有分歧,如果认为苏维埃运动是失败了,将使一般同志失望。我看,今后我们无论到什么地方,都要将苏维埃旗帜高举起来。卷起苏维埃旗帜的作法,我们似乎还没失败到这个地步,大可不必。至于对遵义政治局会议的评价,我看,我们也不要勉强国焘同志接受,留待以后党的会议来做结论吧。”停了停,毛泽东以一种调侃的语言说:“国焘兄说得好,梁山泊好汉不打不相识,今天,我们算是又一次相识喽。”说完嘿嘿笑了起来。 张国焘也不得不苦笑了一下。 洛甫最后说: “中央关于一、四方面军会合后的政治形势与任务的决议这个草案基本上算是通过了,同志们提的意见,由常委修改后,再转发下去。”
