Chapter 34 The last stroke of the uprising plan

On this day, Zhang Guotao arrived in Jiujiang.As soon as he sat down, he learned from He Chang, the military commissioner, that the Nanchang uprising was imminent, and he seemed to be scalding the cup he was holding, so he quickly instructed He Chang: "Quickly, send a telegram to Zhou Enlai, and we will talk about the uprising when I arrive in Nanchang. " He Chang was puzzled: "They are all ready, if they stop..." "No, this matter depends on the international." "Hasn't the International always supported armed struggle?" "It won't work this time. They don't give money or goods. How can they be called support? Their opinion is to ask us to do a good job with Zhang Fakui and fight back to Guangdong with him."

"Is this even more strange?" He Chang was a little anxious, "Zhang Fakui has been with Wang Jingwei, and he is still working with him? Where are you going? The Chinese revolution is like this. There is an obstacle on the left and an obstacle on the right. They are all delayed! Chinese people His blood is so worthless?" "You should send the telegram first." Zhang Guotao felt that He Chang was not going to be of much use, so why waste his time talking, he urged him to send the telegram quickly. "I'm leaving right away, and I can arrive in Nanchang tomorrow, and it's not too late to make a decision with them."

He Chang did as he did, and sent a second telegram to Nanchang before Zhang Guotao got on the train. The big clock of the Nanchang riots was ticking, and every part inside was turning. On the morning of the 27th, Zhou Enlai, who arrived in Nanchang, stayed at Zhu De’s residence—Huayuanjiao No. 2, which is not far from the military officer education group. There are front and rear patios in the house, full of local characteristics in the south of the Yangtze River, giving people a simple and clean feeling.Zhou Enlai came alone, carrying a black leather bag in his hand.Seeing Zhou Enlai, Zhu De was very affectionate.When he was in Germany, he knew that Zhou Enlai liked to eat some condensed milk and biscuits to satisfy his hunger, so he immediately ordered the guard Liu Gang to buy them.

Liu Gang was a little strange: Commander Zhu has never bought such food, who is this distinguished guest? Zhu De told him: "This is Mr. Zhou Enlai. He just arrived here today. You will entertain him at home for a few days. Pay attention to what he tells you, and you will do it." Although Liu Gang didn't know how important Zhou Enlai was, he had followed Zhu De for many years, and he knew that the head of the group called Mr., he must be an important person.Zhu De went out that day, Zhou Enlai took out the documents in the purse in the house, and kept writing and writing.At noon, I only had to drink boiled water twice.At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu De came back. When he went out, he asked the chef Wang Rongkun to buy vegetables. Zhu De rolled up his sleeves and made some small dishes himself to eat with Zhou Enlai.After lunch the next day, Zhu De went out as usual. Before leaving, he said to Zhou En: "If you have something to do, ask this Liu Gang to do it. He is from here."

Zhou Enlai nodded, and immediately told Liu Gang: "Go outside and find a big house, rent it, and of course you have to pay the rent to the owner. Okay?" Liu Gang was familiar with the terrain of Nanchang, and came back after going out for a while. He told Zhou Enlai that he had found a big house in the horse pile and paid the rent to the owner. Zhou Enlai shook Liu Gang's hand: "Very good, you are very fast." Just as he was talking, a person from Jiujiang came from outside, and Zhou Enlai asked Liu Gang to guide him to live in the house he had just rented, where he received twenty or thirty people who arrived one after another.

Zhu De went out these two days to investigate the situation of the enemy's garrison and mark it on the map of Nanchang city.He reported to Zhou Enlai: "At present, there are 5 regiments of Zhu Peide and 1 regiment of Tang Shengzhi stationed inside and outside Nanchang City, plus some scattered guards, there are tens of thousands of people, the weapons and equipment are still good, and they have certain combat effectiveness. However, the former In a few days, Zhu Peide sent people to transport all the military supplies from Nanchang," Zhu De said, pointing to the marks on the map.

Zhou Enlai bent down and looked at it for a while: "Okay, Comrade Zhu De, the information you provided is very important. You are worthy of being our good guide and staff." Zhu De pursed his lips honestly, and his thoughts returned to the enemy's situation in Nanchang: "The commanders of the garrison all follow Zhu Peide wholeheartedly, and it is difficult to win over. What we have at present is only a battalion of the officer education regiment and a few The directly subordinate company, together with some police officers from the Public Security Bureau where I worked before, is only a few hundred people.”

"Don't worry about it." Zhou Enlai comforted Zhu De, "Ye Ting and He Long's troops will arrive in Nanchang soon, and the 25th Division is also on standby at Mahuiling. They will come here as soon as there is any action. There are more than 30,000 people in total. , Far outnumbering the enemy soldiers in the garrison, it is sure to win the few with the more, plus sudden mobilization." In the evening, Zhou Enlai rushed to Jiangxi Hotel. This is a four-story building with a slightly European style, with carved patterns on the window eaves and external balconies.Built in 1923, it was the tallest building in Nanchang at that time.The whole building is back-shaped, with a patio in the middle, and a total of 96 rooms.

For the sake of security and confidentiality, Zhou Enlai had asked people to rent all the rooms.The banquet hall on the first floor, which was called the Jubilee Auditorium at that time, was very spacious, with two rows of palace lanterns hanging from the roof, a long table below covered with white cloth, and Jingdezhen tureen placed, surrounded by two circles of grand master chairs.Here is the collection of heroes. Zhou Enlai stood up and said: "Our uprising was forced out by the enemy. Otherwise, there is no way out. An uprising can only succeed, not fail." Zhou Enlai said this in a calm tone.But his heart is like a flame under the ice.He has looked forward to the future of the uprising more than once, for which he is confident and optimistic; he has also thought about the other side of the uprising.He finally settled on one point: rebellion or death!If it fails, it is nothing more than beheading and exile, and someone will surely rise again, this is the successor; if you want to say "cheap", the Chinese have such "cheap bones".

what can you doThe broken bones are still connected to the tendons, and there is still a cavity of blood in the tendons. The blood is always hot, and it will dye the morning sun red! According to the decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Zhou Enlai announced the formal establishment of the Uprising Front Enemy Committee, which was composed of four people, Zhou Enlai, Li Lisan, Yun Daiying, and Peng Pai, and Zhou Enlai served as the secretary.The uprising was originally planned to be held on the 28th, but it was postponed to the 30th to facilitate preparations. He Long's 20th Army was also concentrated in Nanchang on the 27th.The military headquarters is located in the Chinese Anglican Church.The entrance is a small three-story building.The auditorium and church outside were full of headquarters and support personnel.He Long lived in a small building at the back.This was originally the pastor's house. After He Long arrived, they vacated the three rooms downstairs to He Long.

He Long put a camp bed in a house as a bedroom.After He Long settled down for a while, he went to meet with the communists Li Lisan, Tan Pingshan, Zhu De, Yun Daiying, Liu Bocheng, Wu Yuzhang, Xu Teli, Gao Yuhan and others who participated in the leadership of the uprising. The next day, Zhou Enlai took Liu Bocheng to the military headquarters to visit He Long.Zhou Enlai took a step forward and held He Long's hand: "I'm not here to visit you out of courtesy. Straight to the point, I'm looking for you to discuss the uprising plan. Can we talk right away?" He Long nodded and said, "Great, I'm all ears!" Zhou Enlai found a chair and sat down, laughed, pointed to He Long and said, "It's not enough to listen attentively. You are a general, how can you just use your ears? You still have to use your hands, feet, guns and cannons!" He Long also smiled.Zhou Yiqun accompanied Zhou Enlai into the room, and when he saw that they were about to discuss important matters, he turned around and was about to leave. But He Long raised his hand and shouted: "Yiqun, where are you going? Let's listen together. I can hear it, but you can't?" Zhou Yiqun looked at Zhou Enlai with some embarrassment, and Zhou Enlai also said: "Okay, sit down and listen, you also want to share your opinion." Zhou Yiqun sat down again.After Zhou Enlai explained the general plan of the Nanchang Uprising, he asked He Long: "What is your opinion? I would like to hear it." He Long didn't have much mental preparation, and said casually: "I completely obey the orders of the Communist Party, and I can do whatever the Party wants me to do." Zhou Enlai said honestly: "Now, the first order the Communist Party issues to you is that the party's former committee appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army!" When He Long heard this, he couldn't help leaving his seat, and stood there stiffly, as if facing a stranger, stammering rarely: "I haven't joined the party yet..." Zhou Enlai spread his hands, leaned back, and said, "Look, you just said that you fully obey the orders of the Communist Party. Why didn't you obey the first order?" He Long's tone softened completely: "Okay, I obey." "The Nanchang garrison has 3,000 people, and Zhu Peide's Fifth Route Army Headquarters Guard Corps is very effective. We have decided that Comrade Ye Ting will be the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and Comrade Liu Bocheng will be the head of the staff group. I would like to invite you and Comrade Bo Cheng to order together. A specific battle plan. I think the general headquarters and staff of the rebel army are located in your military headquarters, do you think it is okay?" "Very well, follow the orders. Just be quick. In our play, Yang Paifeng goes into battle, burning and beating!" When he said this, even Ye Ting, who had just arrived, laughed.Liu Bocheng once fought side by side with He Long in the war against thieves in Sichuan, and they have known each other for a long time. This time they reunited in Nanchang City and shouldered the same mission, the two were very happy. Like He Long, Liu Bocheng is also a master of dialects. Don’t look at the usual reticence, and set up a set of dragons, such as "crossing the river by feeling the stones", "black cat and white cat", "two scholars talking about books". , Two butchers talking about pigs" and so on, all spread through his mouth to more than half of China.The plan was written out soon. Zhou Enlai asked Ye Ting for his opinion.Liu Bocheng met Ye Ting for the first time. The two were famous in the past but had never met. Ye Ting took over the plan and looked at it carefully.After reading it, he immediately returned the plan to Liu Bocheng, but he never said a word. Liu Bocheng was very surprised, and quietly asked Zhou Enlai: "Why doesn't he speak? Is it..." Zhou Enlai didn't understand what was going on at first, but when he figured it out, he couldn't help laughing: "Oh, you don't know him well yet, he's like this, if he doesn't speak, it means he agrees." Liu Bocheng also laughed when he heard it: "What a weird person." "One-eyed God of War" Liu Bocheng found a secluded place and carefully examined the uprising plan again. The tasks of the units and generals participating in the uprising were divided as follows: Ye Ting commanded the 24th Division to deal with the 53rd Regiment of the enemy's Sixth Army and the 23rd and 24th Regiments of the Third Army; He Long and Liu Bocheng commanded The 20th Army captured Zhu Peide's Fifth Front Army Headquarters and was responsible for dealing with the 79th and 80th Regiments of the Ninth Army of the enemy; The committee decided and led the uprising; Zhu De used his past status as the director of the Nanchang Public Security Bureau and the head of the Third Army Officer Education Regiment to strengthen his work in the enemy army and understand the dynamics of the enemy army in Nanchang.Then Liu Bocheng went to Sanyi Lane, where the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China is located, and informed Wan Xixian and Huang Dao, who were in charge of the provincial party committee, of the central government's riot plan. The Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China convened an emergency meeting of party and youth activists in the provinces and cities to convey the decision of the central government, arrange trade unions, peasant associations, student federations, women's federations and other mass organizations to assist the insurgents in communication, liaison, logistics and propaganda work, and organize workers Pickets and Peasant Self-Defense Forces cooperated with the rebels. Everything is really ready, only the east wind is owed. "Dongfeng" should be the international command arrow held by Zhang Guotao.Because of Zhang Guotao's "false preaching of the imperial decree", he responded to an ancient poem: "Dongfeng will not be with Zhou Lang". The heroic Zhou Enlai is not the heroic Mr. Zhou Yu who is short of breath.
