"Old Xu, the Communist Party has always had this tradition. When they were still in Jinggangshan, they had done this many times. Basically, no one who surrendered to the national army or was a bandit. What a happy ending." Li Zihan emphasized the words "the national army defected to the past." In previous debates with Gao Shenxing and Shu Tongwen, Li Zihan was basically at a disadvantage. But in recent days, Li Zihan has finally turned around. It turns out that the Communist Party also makes mistakes. In the past, under the sharp tongues of Gao Shenxing and Shu Tongwen, the corruption of the Nationalist government, the rigid tactics of the Nationalist army, and the backwardness of the command were repeatedly criticized under a magnifying glass, even to the point of being bloody, and Li Zihan could not find much to say. to refute. Now, it¡¯s time for Gao Shenxing to taste this. Seeing Li Zihan standing there chattering incessantly, demonizing the Communist Party to the point of being unworthy of appearance, while Xu Shijiu looked gloomy, Gao Shenxing felt a tightness in his chest. On the one hand, it was certainly because Li Zihan deliberately smeared the CCP However, on the other hand, Gao Shenxing was also confused by the vigorous purity movement within the Wannan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Wannan Detachment of the New Fourth Army. Gao Shenxing couldn¡¯t understand why underground parties who had lurked in the white areas during the ten-year civil war, or worked in occupied areas after the Sino-Japanese war broke out, had to accept organizational scrutiny? Yu BuZe, a party member who was born a bandit or who defected from the national army, was even more of a focus of scrutiny. What confuses Gao Shenxing even more is that this kind of review is by no means just a formality. This is a real organizational review. As the subject of review, no matter you are the secretary of the Wannan Provincial Party Committee or the detachment leader and political commissar of the New Fourth Army¡¯s Wannan detachment, you will be imprisoned like a criminal, and you must routinely report deeply to the organization every day. Reflect once, even if you stole a bunch of corn from your neighbor's house when you were a child, you must explain it clearly without reservation. This is completely the presumption of guilt model. Gao Shenxing could not imagine the consequences of this kind of review. The original intention of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in launching this movement was of course good. As the Sino-Japanese War entered a stalemate stage, the ranks of the Communist Party gradually grew, so 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 have their own interests and demands. Although such small groups will cause mutual favoritism within the party and will also affect the party's cohesion and execution ability, it is still considered Not a fatal threat. However, the specific manifestation of sectarianism in the military is the warlordization of the military, 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 campaign, and Gao Shenxing is fundamentally incomparable. welcome. As a veteran of the national army, Gao Shenxing is very aware of the great harm that warlords have 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 everywhere. Just as they were about to sweep across the whole of China and wipe out the previous atmosphere of weakness, poverty and bullying, the great cause of the Northern Expedition came to an abrupt halt and died midway. Although Zhang Xiaoliu later announced a change of government, and various old warlords such as Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, and He Jian also announced that they would accept the unified leadership of the National Government, China was formally unified, but it was only formally unified. In fact, , Northeast China, Shanxi, Guangxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan are all independent kingdoms, and the decrees of the National Government cannot reach them at all. Therefore, the vigorous Northern Expedition actually failed. On the surface, the reason for the failure of the Northern Expedition was the split between the two major factions in Ning and Han. In fact, fundamentally, it is because the National Revolutionary Army has begun to become a warlord. When the National Revolutionary Army captured most of China, especially the most fertile areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Chiang Kai-shek began to show his personal ambitions with the support of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang plutocrats. In view of his limited experience within the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek found another way and usurped the leadership of the National Government. This path is to transform the army into a warlord. To put it bluntly, it is to use the large amount of gold and yuan in Chiang Kai-shek's hands to induce the National Revolutionary Army to stop being loyal to the Kuomintang and instead be loyal to Chiang Kai-shek personally. Through this shortcut, Chiang Kai-shek quickly mastered the power to subvert the Kuomintang. Government troops. After all, Chairman Chiang has been the principal of Whampoa Military Academy for several years and has many connections. Judging from the effect, Chiang Kai-shek quickly took control of a huge army by turning the army into a warlord, and with this army he indeed wrested the leadership of the National Government from Wang Jingwei. Undoubtedly, from a short-term effect point of view, this trick played by Chairman Chiang The warlordization of the military was still successful. But in the long run, Chairman Chiang laid the foundation for China¡¯s future. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek usurped power by relying on the military to become a warlord.He was not very upright, which also caused him to be unable to fundamentally eliminate the big cancer of warlords after seizing power. He even did not have time to eliminate old warlords such as Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, and Liu Xiang. New warlords such as He Yingqin and Hu Zongnan have emerged. In fact, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has been in power for more than 20 years, but he has never been able to solve the problem of warlord separatism. On the other hand, Chairman Chiang¡¯s old rival, the leader of the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong, has a much smarter strategic vision. From the beginning, Mao Zedong determined the general policy of establishing party branches in companies. In terms of specific implementation, Mao Zedong also unswervingly led the army through the party and resolutely put an end to relying on the personal charisma and personal prestige of military chiefs to lead the army. Judging from the actual effect, Chairman Chiang controlled the army by strengthening his personal charisma and personal prestige. However, until he was finally defeated and fled to Taiwan, he failed to completely control the entire National Revolutionary Army. In contrast, Mao Zedong, the Chinese Communist Party, controlled the army through political parties and finally firmly controlled the army. He firmly controlled the entire army. During the War of Liberation, Lin Biao's personal charm and personal prestige reached the extreme, but he failed to turn the surrounding areas into his own army. Therefore, Gao Shenxing wholeheartedly supports the pure movement aimed at eradicating the budding warlord ideology. However, in the specific implementation, there seemed to be deviations. More than 4,000 enemy agents were uncovered in Yan'an alone. This is absolutely abnormal. What makes Gao Shenxing particularly uneasy is that the special commissioners who preside over purity movements in various places have too much power. For example, Liu Chang, before becoming a special commissioner, was just the secretary of the Longkou County Party Committee. Now, he has authority over all party members in southern Anhui. Yu Bu holds the power of life and death. Even Hu Zhijing, secretary of the Wannan Provincial Party Committee, was arrested by Liu Chang and is currently being isolated and examined. There is news that Liu Chang will soon attack Shu Tongwen. Gao Shenxing had to worry that Liu Chang would use this purity campaign to retaliate. After all, Liu Chang had an affair with Shu Tongwen in Longkou. Gao Shenxing had no confidence in Liu Chang's character, and he didn't think much of it. Understand why the organization asked Liu Chang to preside over the purity movement. ¡°If it¡¯s just because Liu Chang has a close relationship with a high-level person in Yan¡¯an, that doesn¡¯t constitute nepotism. Isn¡¯t it a concrete manifestation of sectarianism in intra-party affairs? If things were really as he suspected, wouldn't it be a travesty? Send a sectarian to preside over a purity campaign aimed at purging sectarianism? Li Zihan was still chattering there: "Old Xu, it's a good thing you didn't join the Communist Party rashly, otherwise you might have been doomed this time. Lao Gao, it's a good thing you were still in the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui, otherwise you would have to follow Awen." What a bad luck." "Okay, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb." Gao Shenxing was angry and glared at him, "You have so much time to talk, why don't you go back and have a good time? Think about how to improve the training of the troops, and go back to your regiment headquarters." "I said, are you angry?" Li Zihan was in a good mood.
