Chapter 51 "Ming Jun" Zhang Wentian

Just after solving the problem of Zhang Guotao's route, Wang Ming returned to China.As mentioned earlier, Wang Ming is the executive member and secretary of the Communist International, one of the leading members of the highest organization of the Communist International, with the mission of "assisting the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China". Inevitably rebellious."Mao Zedong was in a minority or even an isolated position. But at this time the Comintern's concept of the relationship with the national branches has changed.In the 1930s, the communist movement flourished, and more and more countries joined it. Each country had its own special circumstances, and it was difficult for the Comintern to implement unified leadership.

In July 1998, Dimitrov, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Comintern, pointed out: "Considering that Moscow can effectively lead the 65 branches of the Comintern in various situations on all issues, it is impossible." At the "Seventh Congress" of the Communist International held in August 1935, it was clearly opposed to sectarianism, talkativeism, dogmatism, bookworms, and citing experts, and required cadres to "independently grasp the direction in a complex environment."The determination of this kind of thinking is of great benefit to Mao Zedong. At the same time, after 1935, the CCP strengthened its ties with the international multi-channel, and positive information about Mao Zedong was continuously transmitted to Moscow.For example, in May 1935, Chen Yun went to the Soviet Union to report the initial situation of the Red Army’s Long March and the Zunyi Conference; Lin Yuying (Zhang Hao), who returned to China in January 1935, continued to report on the solution to the Zhang Guotao separatist incident; in the spring of 1936, the Communist International sent Liu Changsheng to carry the telecommunication code When the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is located, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Mao Zedong can report the major issues of the Communist Party of China in a timely manner; at the end of 1936, Wang Jiaxiang went to the Soviet Union for medical treatment and reported the situation of the Communist Party of China and the Red Army to Stalin and others; in March 1938, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent Ren Bishi to the Communist International to report on the anti-Japanese policy.

Because of this, the Comintern made a decision to support Mao Zedong when discussing the principles and policies of the CCP based on the information it had.Only then did Wang Jiaxiang return to China to deliver the Communist International's instructions and criticize Wang Ming's mistakes in the convening of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Mao Zedong felt deeply about this. He once said: "The Sixth Plenary Session will determine the fate of China. Although there were some works before the Sixth Plenary Session, such as "On Protracted War", if there is no instruction from the Communist International, the Sixth Plenary Session is still very difficult. Difficult to solve."

Since then, Mao Zedong's correct line has been fully implemented, and Mao Zedong's reputation has gradually increased. At this time, Zhang Wentian, who is in charge of the whole party, is a leader who is kind, open and aboveboard, and has a very good democratic style. Mao Zedong once praised humorously: Luo Fu is a "Ming Jun", who can let everyone fully express their opinions. After the Zunyi Conference, Luo Fu replaced Bogu in the general responsibility of the Standing Committee, but for a long period of time, most of the documents of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China were issued in the names of "Luo Fu, Zhou Enlai, Bogu, Mao Zedong" or "Luo and Mao".Zhang Wentian presided over the daily work of the central government, united and coordinated various central forces, and absorbed Mao Zedong's correct strategy and tactical thinking on major issues, which played an important role in promoting the development of the revolutionary cause.

In December 1937, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee reorganized the Secretariat of the Central Committee to implement collective leadership. There was no longer a general secretary in the party. Luo Fu, Mao Zedong, and Wang Ming formed the Secretariat. Zhang Wentian was no longer called the general secretary, but It is still the top leader who presides over the daily work of the central government.Under the situation of "one mountain and two tigers" formed by Wang Ming's struggle for power, Zhang Wentian supported Mao Zedong. In September 1938, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee was held. In accordance with the Communist International's instruction that "the leadership of the leadership should be resolved under the leadership of Mao Zedong", Zhang Wentian proposed that the position of the head of the Party Central Committee should be assumed by Mao Zedong.

After comprehensive consideration, Mao Zedong believed that it was not the time to raise this issue, and he wanted Zhang to continue to take on the responsibility.But after the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee, Mao Zedong was actually confirmed as the supreme leader of the party. Zhang Wentian, who is open-minded and wise, proposed to "move the meeting place of the Politburo to Mao Zedong's residence in Yangjialing. It is up to Chairman Mao to decide". At the beginning of 1942, after the rectification movement started, Zhang Wentian left Yan'an and left his "nominal secretary position" to go to the countryside "in order not to hinder the implementation of Chairman Mao's rectification movement policy and at the same time to make himself more in touch with reality." to investigate.
