Chapter 45 new big seal

Last night, the stars and the moon in Nanchang went as usual, but it was a night of anarchy.The old government was broken by the wind, and the new government was still in its infancy.The functions of the government went through the night by inertia, and the common people didn't notice it at all.But by day, a city without government is a dead city.Early in the morning, Shen Su (a member of the Communist Party), former Minister of Commerce and People of the Nanchang City Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang, came to Li Yu of the Merchants and People's Association and asked him to go to the Shenggong Hall to meet He Long.They entered through the back door of the Shenggong Church. He Long politely asked them to sit down and took out the Luzon brand cigarettes that someone had just given him.

There were not many people in the room, except for the three of them, there was also a staff officer of He Long.He Long was still holding his big pipe, puffing and talking to the two of them: "You should call a meeting of the city's commercial committee as soon as possible, and mobilize them to start business as soon as possible." He took special care of Li Yu: " I hope you will assist in the establishment of a new Jiangxi Bank." An hour later, they emerged from the Anglican Church.Before leaving, He Long asked Li Yu to enlighten Jiang Jihuan.The great change overnight, probably the most worrying thing is Jiang Jihuan, the old and new acting chairman of the provincial government.For a while, he sat at his desk and smiled wryly.Because this should be a huge office organization, you should be able to hear the crackling abacus of the financial department, the footsteps of the secretaries coming in and out, and the ringing of the phone one after another... from a long distance away.Now, the government building is not quiet: there are people asking for money, goods, help, help... The old staff all ran away last night.

Jiang Jihuan's best "soldier" is only one, and that is his son Jiang Xiang.The financial personnel of the old government handed over to Jiang Xiang's office.Handed over is a book of accounts.Jiang Xiang asked: "Where is the money?" "The money has been used up, and there is no copper coin left. The funds for August have not yet been distributed." Huang Shi, the chief of staff of Zhu Peide, the former finance minister, had already fled with the money. .Fortunately, after Lin Boqu, director of the Finance Committee, learned about it, he approved a start-up fee of 2,000 yuan to the new government.When Jiang and his son raised money, the first thing they did was to engrave a big seal on the government, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to issue a proclamation.After Lao Jiang got the seal, he tried to press it twice on the waste paper. The bright red seal was also very correct.Lao Jiang suddenly became excited, and wrote a report to the Revolutionary Committee to use this seal.

The report and the printed proofs for archiving were sent away, and the old gentleman seemed to feel that the entertainment was not finished, so he spread out a large sheet of paper and began to write the proclamation.He is a Juren of the Qing Dynasty, and has a solid foundation in ancient prose.But his thoughts are not old. After the proclamation was written, he shook his head and recited: After Lao Jiang finished writing, Xiao Jiang sent it to the newspaper office, and asked someone to copy it, and posted it everywhere.After the establishment of the General Office of the Secretary-General of the Revolutionary Committee, Secretary-General Wu Yuzhang asked Secretary Li Jiazhong to move into the office immediately, keep the office stall, and not leave easily.

One day, Zhu De came.He came to receive the appointment letter of the deputy commander of the Ninth Army.The Ninth Army was originally the designation of the Yunnan Army.The Dian army did not have many troops participating in the uprising, only three companies of the officer education regiment.There was a division commander in the Yunnan Army named Wei Chu, who was a leftist of the Kuomintang at that time.Before the uprising, Zhu De had talked with him about state affairs, and Wei Chu felt sympathetic.When discussing the appointment, many people advocated that Zhu De be the commander of the Ninth Army, but Zhu De himself suggested that Wei Chu be the commander of the Ninth Army and himself the deputy commander.That's it.Wei Chu did not arrive.On the eve of the uprising, he rushed to Wuhan for treatment due to illness and was not in the army.

On August 3, when the uprising army was about to withdraw from Nanchang, Zhu De was appointed as the commander of the Ninth Army.In less than two days, Zhu De went to the provincial government to receive two letters of appointment.He was sweating profusely when he returned to his residence at No. 2 Garden Point.He sat on the side of the Eight Immortals table, drinking tea, shaking his fan, thinking about what to do.He wanted to set up the command organization of the Ninth Army, reorganize the officer education group that participated in the uprising, and absorb some railway workers and young students to form the Ninth Army Education Group.On the eve of the uprising, Zhu De wrote letters to his old classmates and colleagues in the Yunnan Army, including Fan Shisheng, commander of the 16th Army stationed in Shaoguan, Jin Handing, commander of the Ninth Army stationed in Jiujiang, and Jin Handing, commander of the 16th Army stationed in Ji'an. Yang Chisheng, the commander of the 19th Division, and Yang Ruxuan, the commander of the 27th Division stationed in Linchuan, understood the revolutionary righteousness and persuaded them to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and go south to Guangdong together.As a result, the person being persuaded either did not speak, or persuaded him instead.

Zhu De seemed to have expected it, but he was still not in a hurry. He returned from the provincial government and sent another letter to Yang Ruxuan. The letter said: "We recently held a meeting in Nanchang, promoted the leadership of Soong Ching Ling, and raised the banner of opposing the independent husband and the people's traitor Chiang Kai-shek. Now we have decided to go to Guangzhou to open up a new source of revolution. He Long and Ye Ting will go together, brother and brother will go together. Brother wear You must be armored, and my brother is in charge of the banner. Time is tight, and I hope to reply immediately." However, Yang Ruxuan still had a lot of worries, one was afraid that he would not be beheaded, and the other was that Zhu De would eat him.So I didn't reply to the letter, but just said to the person who sent the letter: "Please tell brother Yujie, hope he takes care, I have my own opinion."

Zhu De was dealing with official duties, and the sweat on his head did not disappear, and news came from the Revolutionary Committee: the rebel army was about to withdraw from Nanchang immediately, and Zhu De was appointed as the advance commander.He will take the Ninth Army Education Corps as an advance team, and embark on the journey south two days earlier than the 24th and 25th Divisions of the 11th Army. Linchuan, formerly known as Fuzhou, is 190 miles away from Nanchang. It was the first important city that the rebel army passed through when it went south.From Nanchang to Linchuan, there was no enemy resistance along the way.Because it is Yang Ruxuan's teacher who is stationed in Linchuan.Yang Ruxuan learned that the rebel army was going to pass through Linchuan. Considering his relationship with Zhu De's classmate and Paoze for many years, and also because of the prestige of the revolution, he feared that the rebel army would clash with the rebel army and weaken his own strength, so he withdrew his troops outside the city. Quietly give way to the rebel army a road going south.

In He Long's headquarters, three important issues were studied, one was the political outlook; the other was the route to the south; He Long especially advocates having a political program, and his worry is different from others: "People used to say that I was born as a bandit, but now that we are a revolution, we should have a political program, otherwise people will call me a bandit again." By August 3, the situation had become clear, and Zhang Fakui and Huang Qixiang's dream of joining the Revolutionary Committee could not be realized.Zhang Fakui and Huang Qixiang took a completely hostile attitude towards the Revolutionary Committee.Originally, their names were in the Revolutionary Committee, and Zhang Fakui was still the chairman of the presidium, and he was still the commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army, and Huang Qixiang was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.Since they took a hostile attitude towards the Revolutionary Committee, the Revolutionary Committee naturally removed them.As a result, there were only the other 6 members left in the presidium. The post of commander-in-chief of the second front army was also held by He Long, and the post of commander-in-chief of the former enemy was held by Ye Ting.

According to reports at the time, the commander of the 20th Army was still He Longjian, the party representative was Liao Ganwu, and he was in charge of three divisions: the commander of the first division was He Jinzhai, the party representative was Fang Weixia, the commander of the second division was Qin Guangyuan, and the party representative was Chen Gong. The commander of the third division is Zhou Yiqun, and the party representative is Xu Teli.The first and second divisions each have three regiments, and only the third division has only two regiments, plus a teaching regiment and a secret service battalion at the general headquarters, a total of 9 regiments and 1 battalion.The commander of the Eleventh Army is Ye Ting, and the party representative is Nie Rongzhen.There are two divisions under its jurisdiction: one is his original 24th Division, which governs 3 regiments, and the other is the 25th Division, the division commander is Zhou Shidi, and the party representative Li Shuoxun only governs two regiments. There is a secret service battalion in the Ministry, a total of 5 regiments and 1 battalion (there was another division at that time-Cai Tingkai's 10th division, which was also placed under the command of Ye Ting, but something happened in the middle, which will be described in a later chapter).
