Chapter 253
"Old Xu, the Communist Party has always had such a tradition. When they were still in Jinggangshan, they had done such things many times. Anyone who surrendered to the country or who were bandits, basically would not have any good endings." Li Zihan emphasized the words of surrendering to the country.
In the past, when Li Zihan was arguing with Gao Shenxing and Shu Tongwen, he was basically at a disadvantage.
But in recent days, Li Zihan has finally turned around. It turns out that the Communist Party has made mistakes.
In the past, under Gao Shenxing and Shu Tongwen's sharp words, the corruption of the National Government, the stiffness of the national army's tactics, and the backward command were repeatedly criticized under the magnifying glass, and even criticized to the blood. Li Zihan could not find too many words to refute.
Now, it is about Gao Shenxing who tastes this taste.
Seeing Li Zihan standing there chattering, demonizing the Communist Party demon to a dissatisfaction, while Xu Shijiu looked gloomy, Gao Shenxing felt panicked. On the one hand, although it was because Li Zihan deliberately smeared the CCP’s remarks, on the other hand, the vigorous purity movement that was being carried out within the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Anhui Detachment of the New Fourth Army also confused Gao Shenxing.
Gao Shenxing couldn't understand why the underground party that had lurked in the white area during the ten-year civil war, or worked in the occupied areas after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, had to undergo organizational review? Yu Buze, a party member who was born in a bandit or defected from the National Army, was the focus of the review.
What made Gao Shenxing even more confused was that this kind of review was by no means just a formality.
This is a real organizational review. As the subject of review, whether you are the secretary of the Southern Anhui Provincial Party Committee or the captain and political commissar of the Southern Anhui Detachment of the New Fourth Army, you must be detained like a criminal. You must reflect deeply on the organization every day. Even the matter of stealing a bouquet of corn from your neighbor's house when you were a child must be explained clearly without reservation.
This is completely a presumption of guilt.
Gao Shenxing was completely unimaginable, what consequences would this review lead to.
The original intention of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to launch this movement was of course good. As the Sino-Japanese War entered a stalemate, the Communist Party's ranks gradually grew, and bureaucracy, hedonism and sectarianism inevitably grew within the party.
The most serious harm is sectarianism.
The specific manifestation of sectarianism within the party is that small groups with their own interests. Although such small groups will cause mutual inclination within the party and will also affect the party's cohesion and execution ability, this is not a fatal threat.
However, the specific manifestation of sectarianism in the army is the warlordization of the army, which seriously threatens the survival of the Communist Party. Therefore, it is completely necessary for the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to launch this purity movement, and Gao Shenxing is fundamentally welcomed.
As a veteran from the National Army, Gao Shenxing knew very well how harmful the warlords were to the army.
At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the National Revolutionary Army was full of vigor. Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Zongchang and other old warlords were about to sweep the entire China, sweeping away the previous weak and poverty-stricken atmosphere, but the great cause of the Northern Expedition stopped abruptly and died halfway.
Although Zhang Xiaoliu later announced the change of flags, and old warlords such as Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, He Jian also announced that they would accept the unified leadership of the National Government, and China completed the unification in form, but it was only formally unified. In fact, the Northeast, Shanxi, Guangxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan were all independent kingdoms, and the national government's decrees could not reach there at all.
Therefore, the vigorous Northern Expedition actually failed.
On the surface, the reason for the failure of the Northern Expedition was the division of the two major factions of Ninghan.
In fact, it is fundamentally because the National Revolutionary Army has begun to become warlord.
When the National Revolutionary Army seized most of China, especially the richest Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, Chiang Kai-shek began to show his personal ambitions with the support of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols. Given his lack of qualifications within the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek took a different approach and usurped the leadership of the National Government.
This path is the warlordization of the army. To put it bluntly, it is to use the large amount of gold and Yuan masters in Chiang Kai-shek to induce the National Revolutionary Army to no longer continue to be loyal to the Kuomintang, but instead to Chiang Kai-shek personally. Through this shortcut, Chiang Kai-shek quickly mastered the army that was enough to subvert the National Government.
After all, Chairman Jiang has been the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy for several years and has connections.
Judging from the results, Chiang Kai-shek quickly controlled a huge army with the warlordization of the army, and with this army, he did seize the leadership of the National Government from Wang Jingwei. Undoubtedly, from the short-term results, Chairman Chiang's military warlordization was still successful.
But in the long run, Chairman Chiang has laid the root of disaster for future China.
Chairman Jiang usurped the regime by relying on the warlordization of the army, and his position was not very righteous. This also led to his inability to fundamentally eliminate the warlords after seizing power. He did not even have time to eliminate the old warlords such as Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, and Liu Xiang. New warlords such as He Yingqin and Hu Zongnan had already appeared within the Central Army.
In fact, Chairman Chiang has been in politics for more than 20 years, but has never solved the problem of warlord separatism.
In contrast, Chairman Chiang's old opponent, Mao Zedong, the leader of the Communist Party of China, has much better strategic vision.
From the very beginning, Mao Zedong determined the general policy of building a party branch in a company. In terms of specific implementation, Mao Zedong also unswervingly led the army through the party and resolutely eliminated the ability and prestige of relying on the military chief to lead the army.
Judging from the actual results, Chairman Jiang controlled the army by strengthening his personal charm and personal prestige, but until he finally fled to Taiwan, he was unable to completely control the entire National Revolutionary Army. On the other hand, Mao Zedong of the Communist Party of China controlled the army through political parties and finally firmly controlled the entire army. In the War of Liberation, Lin Biao's personal charm and personal prestige reached the extreme, but he was unable to turn the Fourth Field Army into his own army.
Therefore, Gao Shenxing supports the pure movement aimed at eliminating the thoughts of warlords from the bottom of his heart.
However, in the specific implementation, there seemed to be a deviation. More than 4,000 enemy special forces were found in Yan'an alone, which is absolutely abnormal.
What made Gao Shenxing particularly uneasy was that the commissioners who presided over the purity movement in various places had too much power.
Just talking about Liu Chang, before becoming a special commissioner, he was just a small secretary of the Longkou County Party Committee. Now, he has the power to seize life and death against the entire party member Yu’s army in southern Anhui. Even Hu Zhijing, secretary of the Southern Anhui Provincial Party Committee, was arrested by Liu Chang and is currently in quarantine and review.
There is news that Liu Chang will soon start with Shu Tongwen.
Gao Shenxing must not be worried. Liu Chang will use this pure movement to retaliate. After all, Liu Chang had a dirty thing with Shu Tongwen in Longkou. Gao Shenxing had no confidence in Liu Chang's character, and he couldn't quite understand why the organization asked Liu Chang to host the pure movement.
If it is just because Liu Chang has a close relationship with a senior member of Yan'an, then it will not be a nepotism. Isn't it a concrete manifestation of sectarianism in party affairs? If things really look like he guessed, then it will become a satire? Send a sectarian to host a purity movement aimed at eliminating sectarianism?
Li Zihan was still chattering there: "Old Xu, fortunately you did not join the Communist Party rashly, otherwise you might be doomed this time. Lao Gao, fortunately you are still in the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, otherwise you would have to be in trouble with Awen."
"Okay, no one thinks you are mute if you don't speak." Gao Shenxing became angry and looked at him angrily, "You are so idle all day long? If you have the skills to sharpen your mouth, it's better to go back and think carefully about how to improve the training of the troops. Hurry up and go back to your regiment headquarters."
"I'm so angry that I'm so embarrassed?" Li Zihan was in a good mood.
