Chapter 2 Chapter 1 The Great River Goes East

After He Long, Zhou Yiqun, and Lu Dongsheng arrived in Shanghai, they went straight to Shoukangli.At this time, Shanghai, after the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, was already full of white terror. Before the Nanchang riots, He Long called his two uncles and brothers to his side. These two people, one named He Wenxiang and the other named He Wenchen, were both from He Long's family. around.Seeing that they were proficient in writing and ink, He Long arranged for them to do writing and ink errands in the army.After He Long was determined to leave with the Communist Party, he knew that the Communist Party had no money to raise soldiers, so he called He Wenxiang and He Wenchen to his side, handed over the 10,000 yuan ocean bill to the two of them, and said, "Two brothers, there are too many soldiers in our 20th army now. But the salary remains the same, for everyone’s food, clothing and rice bowls, we have to do some business, earn money and support soldiers, the 10,000 oceans are handed over to you, and you go to Shanghai to do business.” He Long said again, “You know, The 10,000 oceans were saved by the brothers wearing their belts, if you two spend it indiscriminately, will I want your skulls?"

He Wenxiang and He Wenchen said together: "Don't worry, Commander, we will do our best to do our business well." In this way, He Wenyang and He Wenchen went to Shanghai and opened a trading warehouse in Shoukang, dealing in daily necessities. The warehouse was quite profitable due to its high cost.At this time, He Long participated in the Nanchang Uprising.He Long traveled from Hong Kong to Shanghai this time. All the money he had with him had already been used up. When the ship arrived in Shanghai, only Lu Dongsheng, He Long, Zhou Yiqun, and Lu Dongsheng had 50 cents left. It was agreed that after arriving in Shanghai, first go to Shoukang to find He Wenchen and He Wenxiang, first to solve the problem of eating, and second to find the party organization.

Turn around.After He, Zhou, and Lu went ashore, they were already hungry.Lu Dongsheng went to a food stall and bought 3 sesame seed cakes for 50 cents. The three of them ate them. The problem of belly drums was solved, but they had no fare for the bus, so they had to rely on two legs. He walked steadily towards Shoukang. Lu Dongsheng, also known as Song Ming, was born in 1908 in a miner's family in Xiangtan County, Hunan Province.Been an apprentice since childhood.Because of his cleverness, Chen Geng, the second young master of his master, sympathized with him and taught him to read and write.After Chen Geng joined the Hunan Army, Lu Dongsheng went to Xiangtan as an apprentice. In 1925, Lu Dongsheng participated in the struggle of the Xiangtan Dock Union to liquidate the boss, and later served as a soldier in the Tang Shengzhi Department of the Hunan Army. Here he met Chen Geng, who was the battalion commander of the spy battalion directly under the Tang Department, and Chen Geng transferred him to the battalion as a security guard.At the time of the Nanchang riots, Lu Dongsheng and Chen Geng withdrew from the spy camp and escorted Zhou Enlai to lead the uprising secretly in Nanchang.When the uprising troops went south, Lu Dongsheng was transferred with Chen Geng to the 1st Battalion of the Sixth Regiment of the 20th Army of He Long.

He Long, Zhou Yiqun, and Lu Dongsheng turned away in the alley because they had no money to ride a car. Shanghai is a famous big city in the east of the world, with criss-cross streets, especially the all-encompassing alleys, outsiders entering it is really like entering a ecstasy.The three of them didn't know the way, so it was very difficult to find Shoukangli.It wasn't until the three of them were exhausted from walking that they finally found Shoukangli. Who would have thought that when the three of them arrived at the trading warehouse excitedly, it was like a ladle of cold water being poured on them, from the top to the toe.It turned out that He Wenyang and He Wenchen heard that He Long's troops had failed in Chaoshan, and He Long's life and death were unknown, so the two of them made a plan and put sticky pastry in the cold pot—it was sticky.The two sold the warehouse, put the ocean rolls in their pockets, and left Shanghai.

Seeing that the warehouse was closed, He Long saw that He Wenxiang and He Wenchen had disappeared, and they didn't know what happened here. The three of them didn't dare to stop any longer, so they hurriedly left and sat down in Yijiexin Park.At this time, the three of them were hungry, thirsty and tired, and they already had a penny in their hands. It is really hard for a penny to beat a hero.The three of them looked at each other and had nothing but the clothes on their bodies.When He Long and Zhou Yiqun didn't know what to do, Lu Dongsheng was suddenly happy and said, "You guys rest here for a while, and I'll get some food."

He Long asked, "Where are we going to do it?" Lu Dongsheng pointed to the gate of a family not far away and said, "Just go there." He Long and Zhou Yiqun looked up, and it turned out that the family was having a wedding event, there was a cloud of cars and horses in front of the door, and the door was full of guests, which was very lively.Lu Dongsheng adjusted his clothes and hats, came to the gate of the house, stood there, and sang loudly: "As soon as you enter the gate, golden boys and jade girls stand on both sides, the Supreme Lord comes to congratulate, and the Queen Mother helps the bride..."

While Lu Dongsheng was singing, a man dressed as a cook came out and said, "Those who recite the happy song, there are chowders in the back, go and eat, and make sure you are full." Lu Dongsheng said: "I don't want leftovers, I want your newly exhibited steamed buns." The cook heard this, and said to himself, "This beggar has a pretty good tone."He watched Lu Dong grow up with beautiful features, and he liked it from the bottom of his heart, so he said, "Wait a minute." Then, he went into the kitchen and took out 6 big steamed buns, and handed them to Lu Dongsheng.

Lu Dongsheng took the steamed buns and said, "Shopkeeper, please give me some more." The cook said with a smile: "You young man, you are a farmer who doesn't love money, so be kind." Lu Dongsheng said: "Today is your wedding, and you don't care about a few steamed buns." He sang again, "The golden horse brought the money tree, the boy of good fortune brought the treasure box, tied the golden horse to the money tree, and gathered treasures." The golden man in the box..." Seeing that Lu Dongsheng spoke eloquently, the cook patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you wait." Then he turned and went into the kitchen, took out 4 more big steamed buns, and gave them to Lu Dongsheng.Holding the steamed buns and pickles, Lu Dongsheng came to He Long and Zhou Yiqun. He and Zhou Yiqun took the steamed buns with smiles on their faces, and ate them with big mouthfuls.

The three of them ate some steamed buns and drank some cold water in front of a water pipe. Immediately they regained their spirits and got up to look for the party organization.They arrived at Fuzhou Road according to the meeting point given by the organization.Along Fuzhou Road, there are mostly people who need crafts, such as pen repairers, hair shavers, curium cookers, shoe repairers, and poor seamstresses. The three of them stopped in front of a Beijing opera billboard with "Shooting Yan Duansheng" on it. Footsteps, in front of this sign, there is a wooden box with a glass cover, which is full of various pen parts. A man in his mid-thirties, wearing a Chinese tunic suit and a top hat, is seriously repairing a pen. He Long stepped forward and asked, "Sir, how much does it cost to repair a pen?"

The man looked up at He Long and said, "That depends on what brand of pen you repair." He Long said: "Oriental goods." The man said: "If you want to exchange for a gold tip, it will be expensive. It will cost 5 yuan." He Long said, "Can I use less?" The man said, "Not even one point less." He Long said: "That's 5 yuan, but I didn't bring this money with me. Can I send it to my family?" The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, you can also send it to my home. My home is at No. 3 Renyi Lane. Just look for someone with the surname Yuan."

He Long said: "Okay, we must go to the mansion." After He Long finished speaking, he, together with Zhou Yiqun and Lu Dongsheng, left the man who repaired the brush, came to Renyili, found No. 3, and saw that the door was closed tightly. He rang the doorbell, and after a while, half of the old women came to open the door, saw He Long, Zhou Yiqun, and Lu Dongsheng, and asked, "Gentlemen, what's the matter?" He Long said: "I'm here to repair pens, and I'll go to the house to change gold nibs." After hearing this, the woman immediately let He Long, Zhou Yiqun, and Lu Dongsheng into the house, and looked around the alley. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he closed the door again. No. 3 Renyili is a secret contact point of the CCP’s underground party. The comrade who works at this point is Xiong Jinzhen, a native of Hunan, who was a student of Xu Teli. Later, he joined the revolution and first worked in Hankou. When Chiang Kai-shek carried out the "April 12" massacre in Shanghai, Xiong was sent to Shanghai to do underground liaison work for the CCP. He used repairing pens to cover his identity. When He Long and the other three were drinking tea, the man who repaired the pen entered the door. He quickly stepped forward and held He Long's hand tightly, and introduced himself: "My name is Xiong Jinzhen, and I am the person in charge of this contact point, comrades." Your name." Pointing to Zhou Yiqun and Lu Dongsheng, He Long said, "His name is Zhou Yiqun, this little comrade is called Lu Dongsheng, and I am He Long." As soon as Xiong Jinjing heard that the person in front of him was He Long, he immediately excitedly said: "Oh, you are He Long, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition and the Nanchang Uprising. Commander-in-chief, my teacher Xu Teli was still talking about you yesterday!" Upon hearing this, He Long asked in surprise, "Where is Mr. Xu now?" Xiong Jinjing said: "It's also in Shanghai, I'll take you to see him later." He Long said: "After the troops were dispersed by the enemy, I was really worried for Mr. Xu and the others." Xiong Jinjing said: "No, I was in Shanghai. I heard that the uprising failed. I couldn't eat or sleep well for several days. I even wrote a poem about it." Xiong Jinjing took out the notebook and turned to a page , Zhou Yiqun took a look, it was written "Huai Xu Master", the poem reads: After Zhou Yiqun read the poem to He Long and Lu Dongsheng, everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and all praised Mr. Xu's noble character despite his old age. At the moment, Xiong Jinjing arranged for He Long, Zhou Yiqun, and Lu Dongsheng to rest, and changed their clothes and hats. The next night, Xiong Jinjing quietly took the three of them to a side alley in the British Concession.It turned out that No. 70, Taichenli, in this side alley, was a house rented by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and it was specially used for comrades who came to Nanchang riots to live.Just before He Long and others arrived, Zhang Guotao, Li Lisan, Liao Ganwu, Yan Changyi and others all lived here.At that time Zhang Guotao was frightened by the battle and traveled around for days, and his face was quite haggard. In order to deceive others, Zhang Guotao went downhill and pretended to be a teacher who came to Shanghai for medical treatment. Li Lisan acted as his younger brother, a senior employee of a bank Accompany my elder brother to Shanghai to see a doctor, and do some business by the way.This residence is a two-story single-story house. The landlord lives downstairs, and Zhang Guotao, Li Lisan and others live upstairs. There are 6 rooms upstairs, which are quite spacious. He Long, Zhou Yiqun, and Lu Dongsheng came to this building. Zhang Guotao was lying in the room. When he saw He Long and the others, he struggled to get up, held He Long's hand, and asked the cold and warm very affectionately. Zhang Guotao's head was covered with red dots, and he couldn't help asking: "Guotao, you are seriously ill!" Zhang Guotao groaned and said, "I'm fine." Then he sighed and said, "He Long, the Communist Party has lost all your business for many years, and you, don't get angry, there is still trouble in doing business. Lose and gain." After hearing this, He Long was not happy. He said, "Guo Tao, what are you talking about? I am not doing business with the Communist Party. You don't understand me." What did He Long want to say, Li Lisan stopped him and said, "Wen Chang, go to the next door and see, someone has seen you coming." He Long said, "Who is it?" Li Lisan said, "You'll know it when you see it." He Long hurriedly turned around and went to the next room. He opened the door and took a look, and said pleasantly, "Comrade Enlai!" As he spoke, he stepped forward a few steps, held Zhou Enlai's hand tightly, looked him up and down for a while, and said sadly, "Enlai, you've lost weight." Zhou Enlai asked with concern: "How are you doing? You have suffered and contributed to the revolution. The Communist Party will never forget you." He Long shook his head, and said with shame on his face, "Comrade Enlai, it's my He family's fault that I disarmed and delayed the progress of the revolution." Zhou Enlai shook his head and said in a comforting tone: "The failure of the uprising has nothing to do with your He family. Your He family has made huge sacrifices for the revolution. There are many reasons for the failure of this uprising. The influence cannot be underestimated, and it can be said that this is the first step for the Chinese Communist Party to lead the Chinese people in armed struggle!" He Long said: "Comrade Enlai, I ask the party organization to give me a job as soon as possible." Zhou Enlai said: "Your work has been considered in the organization. You should take a rest first. I have sent Qin Guangyuan to look for your family members in Wuhan." He also said, "Comrade He Long, Nanjing is now offering a reward of 100,000 yuan for you. Head, you have to be more careful." He Long said: "My end has long been handed over to the Communist Party." Zhou Enlai: "Yes, so our party attaches great importance to your safety." Regarding the care of the party organization, He Long later recalled: After arriving in Shanghai from Hong Kong, I was not clear about the party organization at the beginning. The party sent people to find me, He Yunqing, but they didn’t recognize me at first. As for He Long's family members, Qin Guangyuan also found them in Wuhan.When He Long "conquered Chiang from the east", his family members stayed in Wuhan.When He Long participated in the Nanchang riots, Tang Shengzhi immediately ordered the closure of the 20th Army's Wuhan Left-behind Office and He Long's private house, and his family members all fled after hearing the news.It took a lot of trouble for Qin Guangyuan to find He Long's relatives and bring them back to Shanghai.He Long is very grateful for this. Not long after He Long stayed, Li Weihan, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, came to visit He Long. The two had a long talk. He Long shared his views on the failure of the Nanchang Uprising. It should not continue to fly the banner of the Kuomintang, and the second is that the land was not confiscated to the peasants.Talking about future plans, He Long said that it is best to go back to Xiangxi to drag the team. Li Weihan said: "The central government intends to ask you to study in the Soviet Union." He Long shook his head and said, "I still don't know a few Chinese characters. If I go to learn the foreign characters, won't it make me go to heaven? If you want to make a revolution, you must have a gun. I think I'm the best!" It's going to Xiangxi to drag the team." Li Weihan nodded and said: "I will report your request to the central government. Whether you will go or not will be decided by the central government." He also said, "Since the uprising, you have been working hard. Take a good rest first. inform you." Li Weihan reported He Long's request to the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee.At that time, the central government had decided that Liu Bocheng, Lin Zuhan, and He Long would study in the Soviet Union.The reason why the central government sent He Long to study was that on the one hand, he wanted to improve his cultural and military qualities, and on the other hand, his goals in the country were too big, and he could avoid accidents when he went abroad. At this time, Comintern representative Rominaz and translator Liu Shaowen came to visit He Long.Rominaz is a well-known expert on riots and a representative of the Communist International.After shaking hands with He Long, Rominaz held his thumbs and said in half-baked Chinese: "Your revolutionary spirit is this." He Long also raised his thumb: "You are also like this. For the sake of the Chinese revolution, you abandoned your family and came to China from a long distance. I admire you." "The Nanchang uprising failed, and there is a question of responsibility here," Rominaz said. He Long said: "I am the commander-in-chief, and I have to bear the main responsibility." Rominaz said: "The Politburo of the Central Committee has already made a decision on the issue of responsibility. You are responsible, but not the main responsibility. We will not mention this today." He Long said: "My family members have all arrived in Shanghai." Rominaz said: "The central government wants you to go to the Soviet Union because your goal is big. Chiang Kai-shek will pay you 100,000 yuan." He Long said: "I'd better drag the team. As for Chiang Kai-shek's reward, it's a piece of paper." When Luominaz said goodbye to He Long, he left several thousand yuan for He Long. Although He Long did not know the representative of the Communist International, he was still quite moved. Although He Long proposed to return to Xiangxi, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to go to the Soviet Union considering He Long's safety and all aspects, and scheduled to meet Liu Bocheng on November 17.Lin Boqu set off together.He Long had no choice but to prepare to go abroad.Just the day before the departure, a secret agency of the CCP was cracked by the enemy. The enemy learned that He Long had arrived in Shanghai. For a while, the police were everywhere, and He Long could no longer act, so he had to hide secretly. In this way, Liu Bocheng, Lin Boqu... He left for the Soviet Union, but He Long stayed. A month later, He Long saw that there was no possibility of going to the Soviet Union, so he decided to go to Xiangxi to drag the team. He Long said to Zhou Yiqun: "Yiqun, I should go drag the team. You know me, and you can't read a few baskets of Chinese characters. Looking at the foreign codes, isn’t it reading the scriptures? I’ve been working on gun barrels for more than ten years. How many times have they collapsed? Just pull them up after they collapse. In the past, I did it by myself, but now the Communist Party leads me. !" Zhou Yiqun said: "Wen Chang, how about this, I will report your request to Comrade Enlai, and you, also talk to Enlai." He Long immediately talked about his thoughts to Zhou Enlai, and finally said: "In less than three years, I will definitely pull up another team like the 20th Army for the Communist Party." Zhou Enlai: "Comrade He Long, the journey to the Soviet Union is far away, and your goal is great, and the danger is also great. Comrade Yiqun discussed your idea with me. I agree, and I will make a decision after I report to the Central Committee. It's just..." He Long said: "Are you afraid that I will be in danger on the way to Xiangxi? The central government can rest assured that as long as I arrive in Wuhan and enter Honghu Lake, I will be able to move around." Zhou Enlai said with a smile: "The common people say that you are a dragon, and if a dragon gets water, he can rise to the top of the sky. When you reach Honghu Lake, you will be a dragon that rises to the sky with water." The two laughed out loud.After laughing, He Long said: "Representative Luo left me a few thousand yuan, and I must accept it. Now that the revolution funds are very tight, I have paid the party dues." Zhou Enlai said very emotionally: "Comrade He Long, you have paid too much party dues to the party. For a 20th Army, you have been operating in a miserable manner for so many years, and you have handed it over to the party." He Long said: "That means the party thinks highly of me." On January 8, 1928, at the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Zhou Enlai put forward He Long's request to return to Xiangxi to drag the team. Everyone agreed. Only Rominaz raised doubts. He was afraid that He Long would go back and drag the team Break away from the Communist Party and become a warlord.This view of Luominaz is related to the unfair evaluation of He Long by several leaders who participated in the Nanchang Uprising in the report to the Central Committee after the failure.After hearing Rominaz's speech, Zhou Enlai said: "He Long is wholeheartedly devoted to the Communist Party. He has already become an army commander. If he becomes a warlord, he will not leave with the Communist Party." In the end, the meeting of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee unanimously agreed to He Long's request to drag the team.It was also decided to form a special committee of the Communist Party of China in Northwest Hunan, with Guo Liang as secretary and He Long, Zhou Yiqun, Xu Teli, and Liu Zhigou as members, responsible for developing workers' and peasants' armed forces, carrying out armed struggles, and establishing a red regime. After the decision, Zhou Enlai invited He Long, Zhou Yiqun, Lu Dongsheng and others to have dinner at Yipinxiang Restaurant.During the meeting, Zhou Enlai conveyed the instructions of the Central Committee to He Long and Zhou Yiqun, and asked them to find Guo Liang, Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee after they arrived in Wuhan.Zhou Enlai finally said: "The central government has also decided to ask Guo Liang to go to Northwest Hunan with you, and the central government will soon send someone to replace him as secretary of the provincial party committee." He Long was very happy to hear this, and he said: "Comrade Enlai, please tell the Party Central Committee that if I, He Long, fail to complete the task, I will come to see you first." Zhou Enlai smiled and said: "Comrade He Long, the Party Central Committee will always care about you." Then, Zhou Enlai introduced the situation of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee to He Long. In late June 1927, Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army in Henan, ordered the "split of the Communist Party", breaking Moscow and the CCP's hopes for it.When Feng Yuxiang "divided the communist party", the "divided communist party" of Wuhan Wang Jingwei Group was also a foregone conclusion. On July 15, Wang Jingwei presided over an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee. At the meeting, Wang, in the name of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, reported the "Recent Process of the Policy of Tolerating the Communist Party".At this point, the Wuhan Kuomintang and the CCP parted ways. Faced with the situation of a complete split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the leaders of the CCP had different opinions. Chen Duxiu hid himself and ignored it, and Bao Luoting and Qu Qiubai also went to Mount Lushan. On July 23, the Comintern sent Rominaz to Wuhan secretly to replace Borodin. On August 7, the "August 7th" emergency meeting of the Communist Party of China was held at No. 139 Poyang Street, Hankou.This house was built by the British in 1920. It is a three-story apartment called "Jardine New House".Due to the dangerous environment, the meeting was only held for one day. There were three central topics: one was the report of the representative of the Communist International and the agreement to all party members; The "August 7th" meeting ended the rule of the CCP by Chen Duxiu's right-leaning line. The meeting elected Qu Qiubai and other members of the Provisional Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.After that, Qu Qiubai, the "helmsman" of the CCP, turned the ship of the CCP from right to "left" at once, so that the central work of the whole party of the CCP focused on "riots".Insurrection becomes revolution and non-revolution.The dividing line of the counter-revolution. The sudden change of the CCP from the right to the "left" has both subjective and objective reasons.Li Weihan later recalled: The revolutionary acute illness, intensified by hatred of the Kuomintang's massacre policy and anger against Chen Duxiu's capitulationism, quickly developed "Left" sentiments in the party. Apart from this "Left" sentiments, there is another understanding The problem is that the so-called "left" is better than the right. "Left" means fighting while standing, and "right" means kneeling down.At that time, public opinion had already formed within the party (within a certain range), and the combination of "left" sentiment and "left" cognition (reason) became the driving force for the development of putschism. Putschism then replaced capitulationism.The history of the CCP proves that it is extremely easy to overcorrect.However, history has proved that the "August 7th" emergency meeting played a huge role in promoting the Chinese revolution. The "August 7th" meeting uncompromisingly criticized Chen Duxiu's right-leaning capitulationist mistakes, resolutely corrected and ended Chen Duxiu's right-leaning capitulationist line that endangered the revolution, determined the policy of agrarian revolution and armed resistance to the massacre policy of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and called on the party and The masses of the people continue the revolution. After the "August 7th" meeting, riots led by the CCP were held in cities and rural areas one after another. After the "August 7th" meeting, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China formulated the "Resolution on the Riot Plan in the Two Lakes".Its plan states: (1) The current social, political and economic situation in the two lakes is purely a situation of riots. The only important responsibility of the party at present is to resolutely carry out the agrarian revolution, lead the workers and peasants in the two lakes to carry out riots, overthrow the Wuhan government and Tang Shengzhi’s regime, and establish a real Only in this way can we guarantee the violent continuation of the revolution. (2) The uprising in the two lakes has not yet started, and it has already failed in terms of time. This is the result of indecision and distrust of the masses of the peasants. If this is the case, the revolution will be lost. (3) The agrarian revolution must rely on the real mass power of the peasants. The army and bandits are just a secondary force of the peasant revolution. Perhaps relying solely on the actions of the army and ignoring the organizational strength and actions of the peasants themselves is also part of opportunism. forms of expression.A riot led by such a leader will undoubtedly fail.This is not a riot, this is a military adventure, or military speculation. (4) The peasant uprising in the two lakes must start on September 10, because the environments of the two lakes are different, the two lakes should each have their own central areas, and each should create an independent riot situation to develop the riots, but the overall political goal slogan and action Must be consistent. (5) The riots in Hunan can be divided into three major areas: one is the counties in southern Hunan, Chenzhou, Yizhang, Rucheng, Yongxing and Hengyang, Leiyang, and Hengshan. The riots are planned to start on September 6 and take Hengyang , After the success of the riot, the divisions of Tanli were assembled to attack Changsha.The second district is the counties in central and eastern Hunan, including Anyuan, Liling, Xiangtan, Xiangxiang 1st Road, Liuyangping 1st Road, Ningxiang, Yiyang, Anhua 1st Road, Xiangyin, Yueyang, Changsha and its suburbs. Changsha prepared for the center to start a general riot on September 10.After the success of the riots in various districts, apart from retaining some forces to maintain order in the districts, it is necessary to quickly investigate the attack on Changsha by most of the forces.There should be a riot in Changsha on September 12th and 13th, and they will seize power and overthrow the Hunan provincial government.Western Hunan is divided into Linli, Anxiang 1st Road and Chang, Tao, and Han 1st Roads, with Changde as the center, preparing to start an outbreak on September 10, and capture Changde as Changsha's aid.In addition, the Baoqing area in central Hunan and the Liling area in western Hunan must also be prepared to launch around September 10 in solidarity with the main forces from all walks of life.Such a province-wide riot should generally take the name of the Hunan Branch of the Chinese Revolutionary Committee as the center of the call. This revolutionary committee will organize a provisional revolutionary government of Hunan Province after the success of the riot. Regarding the riot plan in Hubei, it is divided into six riot areas, namely: Southern Hubei District, Central Hubei District, Western Hubei District, Xiangzao District, Jinghan Road District, and Eastern Hubei District. The Southern Hubei District includes 7 counties of Tongcheng, Chongyang, Tongshan, Pufu, Jiayu, Xianning, and Wuchang; the Central Hubei District includes 7 counties of Mianyang, Qianjiang, Hanchuan, Tianmen, Jingshan, Yingcheng, and Jianli; The west district includes 7 counties of Jiangling, Gongan, Shishou, Jingmen, Dangyang, Yichang, Yidu, and Songzi; the Xiangzao district includes counties such as Xiangyang, Zaoyang, Yicheng, Guanghua, and Gucheng; the Jinghan Road district is Huangpi , Xiaogan, Yingcheng, Yingshan and other counties; Eastern Hubei District includes Huanggang, Echeng, Daye, Qichun, Huangmei, Guangji, Yangxin and other counties. The "Two Lakes Riot Plan" requires that the riot area in Hubei should start from southern Hubei on September 10, and then respond in central Hubei and western Hubei. The riots in the three areas create an independent situation, threatening Wuhan or taking Yuezhou from southern Hubei. Changsha.The riots in Xiangzao District also started on September 10, and no later than September 12 and 13. After the riots in Central Hubei, Western Hubei, and Xiangzao began, Eastern Hubei District and Jinghan Road District must respond as much as possible. The "Two Lakes Riot Plan" stated that the riot organization was under the Hunan Branch and Hubei Branch of the Chinese Revolutionary Committee.In terms of military affairs, the peasants' revolutionary army was used in the countryside, and the workers' revolutionary army was used in the cities, collectively called the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army.The workers' pickets were renamed the Workers' Revolutionary Army, and the Peasants' Self-Defense Forces were renamed the Peasants' Revolutionary Army. The policy boundaries in riots are also stipulated in the plan.As for bandits, they should be propagated so that they can be reorganized under peasant associations or revolutionary committees. Luo Yinong, secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, formulated the "Hubei Autumn Harvest Riot Plan" based on the spirit of the "August 7th" meeting and the central government's "Two Lakes Autumn Harvest Riot Plan". In September, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China began to move to Shanghai. In order to strengthen the leadership of the revolutionary movements in the provinces in the middle of the Yangtze River, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to establish the Yangtze River Bureau and appointed Luo Yinong as the secretary of the Yangtze River Bureau to act as the central authority.Directed the revolutionary movement and party affairs in six provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Anhui, and Shaanxi.The Yangtze River Bureau is located in a house on the right side of a row of two-story buildings on Luojiashan Road, Wuhan. Regarding the implementation of the "August 7th" meeting by the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, the report of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee states: The resolutions of the "August 7th" meeting have not yet been sent to the provincial party committee by the central government. Comrade Yi Nong has also called responsible comrades in Wuhan districts, cities and counties to report and discuss them in batches. At the end of August, the central government only handed in six resolutions, which were immediately distributed to the three branches of Wuhan. Responsible comrades in towns, districts, cities and counties circulated and discussed. At the end of September and the beginning of October, a larger batch was printed and distributed to party departments at all levels. In order to strengthen the leadership of the riots in Central Hubei and Western Hubei, the Hubei Provincial Party Committee sent a large number of cadres to guide the work. Ren Xu, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Agriculture, went to Western Hubei. At the beginning of September, the West Hubei Special Committee was established, which was composed of Yichang Secretary Cao Zhuangfu, Zhang Jichu, and Zhang Shan led the West Hubei Special Committee.Central Hubei is divided into two parts, the north and the south. The north governs the four counties of Hanchuan, Tianmen, Jingshan, and Yingcheng, and is in charge of Wang Pingzhang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Agricultural Association; the south governs Mianyang, Qianjiang, Jianli, and Xindi, and is in charge of Xiao Renhu.The provincial party committee reassigned Wang Daquan to inspect the two northern and central Hubei provinces. After Zhou Enlai talked about the situation of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee in general, He Long interjected, "I heard from Yiqun that something happened to Luo Yinong." Zhou Enlai nodded and said, "Yes, Comrade Yinong has been dismissed." It turned out that facing the situation where the enemy was big and we were small, and the enemy was strong and we were weak, Luo Yinong raised objections to the policy of the Provisional Central Political Bureau to implement a nationwide general riot. From the point of view of the "insurrection period", he believed that it was impossible to capture the enemy's central city.Luo Yinong's understanding was strongly opposed by Liu Changqun, Han Guanghan, and other representatives of the Yangtze River Bureau of the Tuan and the Hubei Provincial Committee of the Tuan.They accused Luo Yinong and the Hubei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China to the Political Bureau of the Provisional Central Committee that they did not take advantage of the opportunity to launch a riot when Tang Shengzhi was at war with the Guangxi clique, but instead "cowed and fled before the battle" and "made a very serious opportunistic mistake", demanding that the Central Committee "Thoroughly investigate" Luo Yinong's question.Liu and Han wrote to the leading authority for this. On December 4, the central government appointed Su Zhaozheng, Guo Liang, and He Chang to form the special committee of the Hubei Provincial Committee of the CPC Central Committee. Su Zhaozheng was the secretary of the special committee, and Guo Liang and He Chang were elected as members.A special committee to "investigate and deal with the issue of the Yangtze River Bureau" was formed with Su Zhaozheng as the secretary and He Chang and Guo Liang as members.At that time, He Chang was in Hong Kong and rushed to Wuhan after accepting the mission. After the members of the special committee arrived in Hubei, they adopted the wrong policy, reorganized the leading organs of the provincial party committee, and made wrong conclusions about the riots in Wuhan. On December 14, the Provincial Party Committee held an enlarged meeting. He Chang was elected as an executive member of the Provincial Party Committee, Guo Liang was appointed as the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and the Hubei Provincial Party Committee composed of Luo Yinong, Chen Qiaonian, and Ren Xu was suspended. The handling of the Hubei issue by the Central Committee and the special committee aroused dissatisfaction among the majority of party members and cadres in Hubei. For this reason, Luo Yinong wrote a letter "to the Central Committee Standing Committee and transferred to the Politburo" to justify this situation.In addition, the policy of nationwide general riots was frustrated in practice. Therefore, after listening to the opinions of both parties in the dispute, the Provisional Political Bureau held a meeting on December 24, and admitted that when Tang Shengzhi collapsed, Wuhan could not hold a general election to seize politics. The riots, Luo Yinong's political guidance to Hubei did not make opportunistic mistakes. However, the newly formed Hubei Provincial Party Committee re-drafted the province's general riot plan.Later practice proved that this plan, because it was a product of "Left" putschism, had a great impact on all regions of the province. "The secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee is Guo Liang. Are you familiar with Guo Liang?" Zhou Enlai asked He Long. He Long said: "I am familiar with him. He is from Wangcheng, Hunan. When I was 13 years old, fellow villagers were racing dragon boats and setting off fireworks on the Xiangjiang River. It happened that the British ship passed by in the river. They thought that people on the shore were firing at them, so they returned the cannon. Fortunately, Guo Liang was driving alone. It was only by explaining the truth to the British on board the warship that a dispute was avoided. In the 4th year of the Republic of China, my team was recruited by Tan Yankai. When I was a member of the Advisory Committee of the Governor’s Mansion in Changsha, I heard Guo Liang’s speech. He said Every sentence is human. All the listeners applaud." The next day, Zhou Enlai handed a letter to He Long. In mid-January 1928, on a day when the clouds were low and the north wind was bitter, He Long, Zhou Yiqun, Lu Dongsheng, Zhang Haitao, Shi Shuyuan and others made up their costumes and went straight to Wuhan by riverboat.
