Chapter 11 A letter from a superior accuses: Are you flying a red flag or a white flag?

Nanning.Located in a secluded alley on the back of the street, "Guangchang", the secret location of the Guangxi Special Committee of the Communist Party of China. The Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China sent an instruction letter to the Guangxi Special Committee. Lei Jingtian read the instruction letter and stayed up all night.The hookah bamboo tube sang with him all night long.All night, he was in a kind of incomprehensible torment.He checked and introspected himself against the instruction letter word by word from the beginning to the end over and over again, but he couldn't understand what was wrong with the work of the Guangxi Special Committee?

Since the downfall of Li, Bai, and Huang, Guangxi has become even more divided by warlords.After the long-term exploitation by Li, Bai, and Huang, the suffering of the working people in Guangxi has reached the extreme.The deceitful propaganda of reformism naturally tends to give rise to greater illusions among the masses.Especially the masses in Guangxi who have not experienced long-term struggle are easy to accept this kind of reformist propaganda.But to expose the deceitful propaganda of reformism and eliminate the illusions of the masses about reformism, the most important thing is to expose it from the daily struggle and prove it with the struggle experience of the masses themselves.If there is no mobilization of mass struggle, just relying on propaganda and incitement, or too many slogans against warlords will not achieve great results.Therefore mobilizing the daily struggle of the masses is the most important task of the Guangxi Party at present.You must take advantage of the revival of the mass movement and use all open possibilities as much as possible to carry out the tasks of the party.In particular, open work itself is a struggle, and the implementation of the open line can only be achieved through the struggle of the masses.

The room was full of smoke, stagnant and lingering.Another reformism, another reformism!Is it true that the party's main task in Guangxi is to be truly carried out by fighting against the Yu Zuobai government at all costs?Is it true that the implementation of the "open line" is to let those comrades who come to work in Guangxi play the banner of Communist Party members and Soviets?Could it be!The Provincial Party Committee will also point out to you that among the three major cities of Nanning, Liuzhou and Wuzhou, Wuzhou must be the center. The reason why Wuzhou is important is not only that it is the center of the proletariat in Guangxi, but it occupies a more important position in the cooperation and connection of the work between Guangdong and Guangxi.As for the work in Wuzhou, the Provincial Party Committee will try its best to help you.But in the future, the work in Wuzhou will still be under the direct jurisdiction of the special committee.In your report, your plans for the labor movement only focus on organization, which proves that you still retain a very strong and narrow concept of organization.Organizing the red trade union is an important task in the labor movement, but if we do not step up the mobilization of daily struggles among the masses, it will be difficult to break the panic of the masses.Moreover, the red trade unions cannot resolutely mobilize the daily life struggles of the masses, and the red movement cannot expand and develop.You must concentrate your efforts on the labor movement in the three major cities, and you must take advantage of the current chaotic situation to mobilize the masses for daily struggles.Only struggle can increase the courage of the masses, only struggle can develop the organization of the Red Trade Union, only struggle can destroy the legal concept of the masses, leaving the struggle to lighten the organization is an extremely wrong and dangerous struggle!struggle! !struggle! ! !

It seems that only by letting the special committee lead the dispatched personnel of the party to leave Nanning immediately and go to Wuzhou, the "center of the center" to start the struggle and organize the red trade union, is the extremely correct line, and there will be no "extremely narrow" Only by organizing concepts can we break the "panic psychology" of the masses No!All merits and demerits need the test of time.Time will prove everything, and time is also changing everything. Lei Jingtian looked back at the footprints he had cast on the revolutionary career road he had gone through: that was when he was in college in Shanghai in 1925, he was introduced by Yun Daiying and He Chang to join the Communist Party of China, and soon became the secretary of the party branch of the university .He mobilized progressive students to fight against the rightists of the Kuomintang in the university, and was expelled from the school.The central government sent him to the Political Department of Whampoa Military Academy as the Chief of the Propaganda Section to assist Zhou Enlai in grasping public opinion and ideological trends. After the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, he came to Nanchang with Zhou En, and served as a party representative in the 60th regiment of the 24th division led by Ye Ting.The Nanchang Uprising failed, and he went south with the army.Soon after, he was sent to Guangzhou as a member of the Guangzhou Uprising Action Committee. He was seriously injured when he was commanding the battle on the front line of Guanyin Mountain. At the beginning of 1928, the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China appointed him to return to Nanning to restore the Guangxi party organization.The personal experience of the two major uprisings in Nanchang and Guangzhou told him: Although the uprisings failed, they were all planned and launched according to the reality at that time, and they were definitely not based on any gentleman's fantasy or a momentary impulse.

Isn't it the same with the upsurge of the peasant movement in Guangxi and Nanning?However, they received a "head-on slap" from the superiors: it is right for the peasants to take the Northwest River (Youjiang) Basin as the central area, but you must decide later to arrange the work in the countryside.You can notice that it was right to work among the peasants who came to petition, but it was wrong to decide to organize a province-wide peasant association.This is the work line of the "KMT-CPC era of cooperation," a top-down approach.The organization of the peasant masses in various places is still weak up to now, and the sudden establishment of the peasant association, on the one hand, is an empty organization without the masses, which is easy to be used by others; Methods!In the past, the peasant movements in Tiannan, Beiliu, Yulin and other counties still had a relatively solid foundation. You must step up your guidance, and the party committees in each county should give firm leadership.Pay particular attention to launching a province-wide struggle during the autumn harvest.Comrades in our Party should absolutely not participate in the organization of the Steering Committee for Mass Movements (Nongxie).Under the current rule of the warlords, it has no revolutionary role at all, can never represent the interests of the masses at all, and will inevitably become an organization that oppresses the masses.The party's participation in this committee will only make the party's influence among the masses disappear. This is a completely opportunistic line. Now comrades who participate in this committee must withdraw immediately.Moreover, the party must expose the mask of this organization in the struggle and lead the masses on the road of revolutionary struggle.

The tone of accusation is getting sharper and sharper!It's getting more intense!More and more chilling!Look, the big hat of "opportunism" has been buckled like a mountain! "It is wrong to suddenly establish a farmers' association" - just such an arbitrary, resolute and light sentence, which negates the new situation and new changes in Guangxi!Write off the new situation created by the representatives of the Central Committee and the comrades who came to work in Guangxi with all their strength! At dawn, Lei Jingtian's brain was tormented all night, and he suddenly felt very awake. He suspected that he had a dream that he shouldn't have.Nerves numb from the stimulation of the water smoke are still pulling the echo of the water pipe gun of "Gulu Gulu". The shade lamp has been blackened by smoke.

Deng Bin looked extremely calm after reading the "Instruction Letter".He handed the letter to Lei Jingtian again, and said, "Keep it and don't pass it on to the committee members and branches for now. Haha, seeing your eyes are red, you must have been up all night. Go, go to the yard and see through it." Go for fresh air." The two stepped out of the wooden building, and the surrounding scenery was immersed in the morning mist.Along a winding path, quietly climbed onto the stone pavilion in the backyard, the rising sun of Shengman seemed to suddenly jump on the roof, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be magical in an instant, becoming bright and bright, which made people feel sleepy all night. , the mind is lifted.So refreshing!

The tranquil and peaceful bamboos spread out to meet the sky, and the sky is full of green; the warbler sings, the spring water gurgles, the air is pure, warm and fragrant, endless colors come into view, and the heart suddenly opens; the sun rises higher and higher, and the golden light is like It is dizzying and refreshing. The two of them seemed to wake up suddenly from a dream, and they walked down the stone pavilion leisurely. Back in the wooden building, it is back to the harsh reality. "Judging from the date of this letter, it was written on the second day after the establishment of the Provincial Farmers Association. The traffic staff worked tirelessly and traveled through mountains and rivers to deliver the letter to us." Deng Bin lit a cigarette and sat cross-legged on the bed . "When the national revolutionary situation is at a low ebb, it seems unbelievable that Guangxi alone has established a Provincial Farmers' Association. If they think it's a mistake, it's up to them to come and blame me. Lao Lei, you don't have to do this Worry."

"I'm not afraid!" Lei Jingtian said angrily, "I'm just angry at this groundless accusation and subjective order! In their view, the era of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has passed, and what we do is contrary to the actual struggle of the party." route" "The work line in the era of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has been discussed in the past, now, and in the future!" Deng Bin changed his sitting posture and stood up, the cigarette butt in his hand flickering like a fishing boat in the breeze driven by him pacing back and forth. bright. "The ancients said: 'The one who knows the current affairs is a hero'. It is a good word. What is 'knowing the current affairs'? How can we be considered a 'junjie'? Engage in the united front and grasp the movement of troops; on the one hand, actively mobilize the masses and engage in the peasant movement; in doing so, we dare not say whether we are 'heroes', but dare to say that we are 'knowing the current affairs' in doing so."

"Hey, when it comes to the Peasant Movement, the letter says that Tiannan, Beiliu, Yulin and other counties have foundations and that we must step up our guidance. But on the contrary, the Guangxi Peasant Movement is currently in full swing in the Youjiang Mountains, not in the Xijiang Plain. "Lei Jingtian filled another pot of tobacco leaves, and "gurgled" his hookah. "They don't seem to trust Wei Baqun, they don't seem to know You Jiang" "The accusations in this letter can be summed up in one sentence: Are you flying a red flag or a white flag? Why don't you hang up the Soviet sign immediately? Why don't you openly fight against the reformist government in Guangxi?" Deng Bin said in a questioning tone.

"That's true. Your analysis hits the nail on the head." Lei Jingtian showed a slightly frustrated look, and smiled wryly. "As for the letter from the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, we can't read it unilaterally. I'm afraid there is a background," Deng Bin further analyzed. "You mean within the Comintern and at the highest level of the Central Committee?" "..." Deng Bin didn't explain right away.As far as he knows, before he came to Guangxi, the Communist International sent several letters of instruction to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China: One was a letter in mid-February. The main content was to implement the anti-rightist stance of the "Sixth National Congress" of the Communist Party of China with the help of the Communist International. It reiterated that the party's general task was to win over the masses and prepare for riots; to carry out agrarian revolution and establish a democratic dictatorship of workers and peasants. ——This is undoubtedly correct, but the protracted nature of the Chinese revolution and the significance of the rural revolutionary base areas are underestimated and underestimated. One was a letter in early June, which was a policy instruction on peasant issues.It is proposed to change the strategy of dealing with rich peasants, and change the policy of "neutralizing rich peasants" in the "Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China" to the policy of "opposing rich peasants". ——This is of course calling on the whole party to continue to fight against the right. One was a letter on a resolution on the work of the Red trade unions, stating that a resolute struggle must be carried out against all liquidationist tendencies in the party towards the Red trade unions, which are a manifestation of sheer opportunism. ——This is mainly aimed at Chen Duxiu.Chen Duxiu continued to insist on mistakes, attacked the party's political line, was pessimistic about the future of the revolution, slandered the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army as "rogue bandits", opposed the establishment of revolutionary base areas, and became a liquidationist (in view of this, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting on November 15, 1929 The Politburo meeting passed the "Resolution on Expulsion of Chen Duxiu from the Party and Approval of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee's Expulsion of Peng Shuzhi, Wang Zekai, Ma Yufu, and Cai Zhende from the Party" and notified the entire Party). One was a letter from the faction opposing the reorganization of the Kuomintang, demanding that the CCP must resolutely oppose right opportunism in the party that sympathizes with the reorganization faction or reformism, emphasizing that "right deviation is the main danger at present." These letters provided the basic guiding ideology and action basis for the emergence of the Lisan line.At that time, whoever was absolutely loyal to the Communist International held the sword of life and death. Although Li Lisan also followed the line of the Communist International, since he was in that position, he had to follow it.However, after all, he was still able to think independently, and he did not regard every word of the Comintern's instructions as a sacrosanct decree. He once publicly rejected the Comintern's instructions, accusing the Comintern of not understanding China's situation.He said: It is one thing to be loyal to the Communist International and abide by international discipline, but it is another thing to be loyal to the Chinese revolution! Representatives of the Comintern have always had misgivings and resentment towards CCP leaders who oppose the international line or implement it poorly!Therefore, the struggle to change leaders frequently is sometimes extremely sharp and cruel... "History always teaches us: don't focus on books, don't focus on excellence, only focus on reality, only on truth." Deng Bin lit another cigarette and walked out of all kinds of thoughts. "Everything should be based on the actual situation of the time and place. You can neither rely on subjective imagination alone, nor blindly follow without thinking." "Then proceed according to our research plan." Lei Jingtian said with relief. "Just do what you want to do. The initiative should be in your own hands." Deng Bin clapped his hands and smiled.
