Crimson Dawn

Chapter 35

The day after Yan Fu visited Chen Ke, Qin Wu, an accountant of the People's Party, and Chen Ke paid the workers of the school construction team their salaries for the day.After Chen Ke and Yu Wenba both negotiated the price, they "made their own way" to pay the workers' wages every day.This is a loophole in the contract, because it does not stipulate who should be paid.Qin Wuan and Du Zhenghui, as supervisors, are responsible for the payment of salaries every day.

Yu Wenba seemed to have eaten a sour persimmon, and his face was almost twisted together.He had never seen such a "main house".

As a contractor in 1905, Yu Wenba was quite capable.Of course, Yu Wenba is very familiar with all kinds of tricks to pick money.The most important thing is to firmly grasp the power to distribute money.

In Yuwen Batu's impression, Chen Ke was a very shrewd rich man, and judging by his attire, he was still educated.Yu Wenba has also seen this kind of people before, most of them are bitter and critical.They rarely go to the construction site, and even when they do, they look at the workers with a mixture of disdain and condescension.Then he patrolled around pretendingly, and picked some faults if he had nothing to do.Of course, those who are more tolerant may pretend to be bold and claim to give the workers extra meals.Those who are not successful will clamor for deductions.

No matter how they make trouble, Yu Wenba can handle it.And it's not bad for them to make such a fuss, the fellow countrymen below sometimes need to beat and beat.They are lazy when they have nothing to do.Anyway, the power to distribute the money is in the hands of Yuwen Batu, and it happened to take these opportunities to give Yuwen Batu the opportunity to deduct some wages.

So when Yu Wenba lost control over the money distribution, his pain and panic even exceeded his own imagination.This is the first time that Yu Wenba has encountered such a situation in so many years.If it was before, Yuwen Ba would still have the last resort, which would be to simply pull the engineering team away, and then spread a lot of bad things about the owner.Halfway through the project, it was suddenly abandoned.The master over there must not be able to bear it, and in the end Qing Yuwenba had to go back.

Now, not only Yuwen Batu's engineering team is busy on the construction site, but also an engineering team formed by Chen Ke himself, the number of which is even more than Yuwen Batu's.Putting down the pick can't get the neck stuck at all.Seeing his fellow villagers lined up neatly and receiving their wages with a happy smile, Yu Wenba felt flustered for a while.

At the party meeting in the evening, after the Qin Wu case notified the comrades of the progress of the project.Chen Ke said to the party team members: "How to win over the masses, we must first know where the interests of the masses lie. Not only must we take into account the long-term interests, but especially the short-term interests. Let's first try to see how to get Yu Wenba to be a team of Anhui people. Fight for it."

This is a formal party meeting. As the chairman of this party meeting, Chen Ke is assigning work to comrades.

"To what extent do you want to fight?" Qi Hui asked deeply.In the People's Party, Qi Huishen has clearly taken the second place.No one tried to challenge Qi Huishen's position, but Chen Ke knew that many comrades were already dissatisfied with Qi Huishen's grasp of almost all the jobs.For example, Hua Xiongmao.

"Who will do this work?" Hua Xiongmao asked frivolously.It was Hua Xiongmao who introduced Yuwenba to Chen Ke, and Chen Ke first proposed to win Yuwenba to Hua Xiongmao.He naturally wished to preside over the work himself.

Qi Huishen already has a lot of work at hand, if he takes on this, he really can't bear it.But Hua Xiongmao's words made Qi Huishen feel very uncomfortable.With Chen Ke as an example, Qi Huishen also worked tirelessly, going to bed late and getting up early every day.Hua Zaiqihui listened deeply, and Xiongmao's meaning behind his words was obviously ridicule, rather than volunteering to take on the job.

Before Qi Huishen could speak, Chen Ke had already taken up the conversation. "It's not okay to scratch the beard and eyebrows. I have a proposal now."

After hearing what Chen Ke said, Hua Xiongmao looked at Chen Ke expectantly.Other comrades can't fall on themselves even if they take this job into consideration.But he didn't care too much.

"Comrades, the first part of the party class has been finished. I think everyone already knows the program and purpose of the People's Party?" Chen Ke's words surprised the comrades.But everyone cheered up.

"I already know." Hua Xiong Maoqiang said in front of Qi Huishen.Now that Hua Xiongmao had already spoken, everyone didn't want to say anything more.

"The program of the People's Party is to launch a people's revolution and build a new socialist China. Do you have any opinions on this?" Chen Ke asked.

You Gou frowned slightly, out of a keen female intuition, You Gou felt that there was quite another meaning in these words. "I have no objection to this. What is Wenqing going to do? Well, it should be said, what is Wenqing going to do to the People's Party?"

"I'm going to reorganize the People's Party." Chen Ke answered this question straightforwardly.

Most of the comrades showed a look of surprise.Zhou Yuanxiao still looked indifferent.Chen Tianhua and He Zudao seemed a little nervous.Wu Xingchen looked carefree, as if Chen Ke could do whatever he wanted.Qin Wu'an looked as usual, but was listening to Chen Ke's speech seriously.

"I have to explain today that the future work will enter the first stage. The goal is to build base areas and launch an armed uprising. This is already a rebellion. No, this is already a rebellion. So I ask everyone to seriously think about it. Think about it, do you really want to participate in the revolution?"

After Chen Ke finished speaking, he scanned the comrades around.After Chen Ke finished talking about the materialist view of history, comrades all knew that Chen Ke was going to rebel, but after Chen Ke said this clearly, everyone still felt a little shocked.

"Can I quit?" Zhou Yuanxiao broke the silence.

Chen Ke nodded, "Yes, I will not force anyone to stay. Brother Zhou, I will talk to you about the workshop in the future. As a friend, I hope Brother Zhou will keep some things secret for us."

Everyone's eyes were on Zhou Yuanxiao. Zhou Yuanxiao stood up under such puzzled and dissatisfied eyes. He looked a little relieved. To Chen Ke's reminder, Zhou Yuanxiao replied: "Wen Qing, don't worry, I will never betrayed everyone."

You Gou wanted to say something, probably to persuade Zhou Yuanxiao to stay.But I wanted to say it several times but couldn't say it.In the end, she simply turned around, probably because she didn't want to see Zhou Yuanxiao leave the venue.Chen Ke noticed this, and he gave You Gou a gentle smile.You Gou saw Chen Ke's smile, but lowered his head.

Zhou Yuanxiao quickly walked out of the crowd as if he was relieved from a heavy burden. When he got near the door, his steps slowed down.Zhou Yuanxiao didn't want to take part in the rebellion. Creating a meal meant fighting against the court. If caught by the court, he would be beheaded.He wasn't stupid, Zhou Yuanxiao knew very well that Chen Ke was going to rebel halfway through the lecture.Although Chen Ke had promised Zhou Yuanxiao that he would not be allowed to participate in armed struggle.But if they really rebel, can Chen Ke's words be realized?

Zhou Yuanxiao joined Chen Ke's political party when he was desperate.If at that time, Chen Ke really rebelled, perhaps Zhou Yuanxiao would follow Chen Ke.Zhou Yuanxiao still remembered that Chen Ke said confidently at that time: "Brother Zhou, when you become a party member, you will become a new person."

Yes, Zhou Yuanxiao has indeed changed after becoming a party member and taking party lectures.The lessons Chen Ke taught the students were just superficial.After the open class, Chen Ke will go deeper.Not just the materialist view of history, but also Das Kapital.Zhou Yuanxiao didn't really know that there was such a truth in the world.Uncovering the complex surface of this world, there are actually such invisible laws that dominate the operation of the world.Zhou Yuanxiao doesn't have much work to do, so he has plenty of time to reflect.After comparing his previous experience, Zhou Yuanxiao can finally see where he went wrong back then.Why would it be a mess.

"If I could do it all over again, I would never fail." Zhou Yuanxiao couldn't help but said to himself.It was because of this self-confidence that Zhou Yuanxiao no longer wanted to go to revolution.For him, instead of looking forward to the revolutionary achievements that will be fulfilled in the future, it is better to seize the present and restore the family business.

Zhou Yuanxiao could see that this group of people really wanted to rebel.Ever since he made up his mind, he dared not speak out.Chen Ke looked gentle, but with his desperate ruthlessness in starting work, Zhou Yuanxiao knew that Chen Ke was definitely not such an easy-going person.Qi Huishen and Hua Xiongmao are not good enemies.There is also Wu Xingchen who always likes to smirk, seeing the translator who offended You Gou and Chen Ke and was beaten horribly, Zhou Yuanxiao knew that he would never offend Wu Xingchen.If these few people feel that they are unreliable, they may not be able to escape the clutches of the People's Party.

Originally, Zhou Yuanxiao was worried that he didn't know when he would be able to propose to Chen Ke that he wanted to leave the People's Party.I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.I didn't even expect that Chen Ke was so reasonable.He warned himself not to divulge the secrets of these people, Zhou Yuanxiao would never divulge them.These people don't do anything at all now, so what if they sue the officials?And that Qi Huishen is so passionate about revolution, but he is the young master of the Qi family.Thinking about it, even if the People's Party is arrested, nothing will really happen.

Even if the government really kills Qi Hui deeply, and the master of the Qi family knows that he is the one who betrayed his only son, he doesn't have to think about his fate at all.

With a feeling of "fleeing from Jinshan Temple in a hurry", Zhou Yuanxiao walked quickly to the gate, but couldn't help but stop.A strong sense of discomfort burst out suddenly.Among the people behind is You Gou, who helped her in her most difficult time, and that was her kindness in a timely manner.Not to mention Chen Ke, it was all thanks to Chen Ke that he could regain his strength.More importantly, Zhou Yuanxiao felt so used to being together day and night in the past few months, leaving here now felt like being exiled from the warm family.Zhou Yuanxiao stood at the door, and he could get out of the dangerous future with just one step forward, but he felt that his legs were filled with lead, and he couldn't take this step no matter what.

Zhou Yuanxiao turned around, everyone was still sitting there just like before, the distance was relatively far away, and the reproachful eyes that could be clearly distinguished before could no longer be seen clearly.Zhou Yuanxiao saw You Gou raised his head, and there should be a look of anticipation on his face.And Chen Ke looked at himself with a smile on his face.It was an understanding smile.Zhou Yuanxiao made up his mind again, he said loudly: "I will never betray everyone. Don't worry, everyone." Then he turned and walked out the door without thinking.

Seeing that Zhou Yuanxiao had really left, Chen Ke heaved a sigh of relief.According to observations so far, Zhou Yuanxiao is not a true revolutionary.Even if Zhou Yuanxiao did not leave, Chen Ke would not entrust him with important tasks.It was a good thing that Zhou Yuanxiao had the courage to leave on his own initiative.With him taking the lead, I think other comrades will have more courage if they want to leave.There must be voluntary party members in an organization, otherwise, those who are not loyal will inevitably become hidden dangers.

"Are there any comrades who want to leave? If you feel that you are unwilling to rebel, then leave now."

No one spoke, and after waiting for a while, no one left.

"Then, comrades. The People's Party is not just trying to overthrow the Manchu Qing government. First of all, as a political party, the People's Party is an organization, and this organization has its own discipline. I have already drawn up the discipline of this organization. Please comrades Let's take a look." After speaking, Chen Ke took out a stack of documents and distributed them to everyone.

Chen Tianhua got this document, and saw that it was written in Chen Ke's pen, but it was not a printed document.Chen Tianhua thought to himself, could it be that Chen Ke didn't discuss with Qi Huishen when this program was drafted?Glancing at Qi Huishen, I saw that he was concentrating on reading the document.Chen Tianhua buried his doubts in his heart and began to read the documents.

[-]. The name of the party is the "Chinese People's Party".

[-]. The party program is as follows:

(1) The revolutionary army must work with the proletariat to overthrow the Manchu Qing regime composed of landlords and elites, and must support the workers and peasants until the class distinctions in society are eliminated; (2) Recognize the dictatorship of the proletariat until the end of the class struggle, that is, Until the elimination of class distinctions in society; (3) Elimination of private ownership of land and the establishment of a modern industrial country dominated by common ownership; (4) Unite with the Second International.

[-]. The party recognizes the management system of representative conferences, organizes workers, peasants and soldiers, and recognizes that the fundamental political purpose of the party is to carry out social revolution; members of the Chinese People's Party must completely cut off all parties and groups that attempt to oppose the party's program. connect.Party members must strictly abide by the principle that individuals obey the organization, the minority obeys the majority, the subordinates obey the superiors, and the whole party obeys the Central Committee.This is true both for ordinary party members and cadre party members.

[-]. Members shall not serve as government officials or members of Congress unless compelled by law and without party charter.Soldiers, police officers and staff are exempt from this restriction.

[-]. This Program can only be modified with the consent of two-thirds of the representatives of the National Congress.

The document is not long, and Chen Ke's handwriting is not too big, so it was finished in less than one page.Chen Tianhua and Chen Ke wrote a book on the materialist view of history, during which there were many discussions.After returning to the People's Party, I had many in-depth discussions with Chen Keye.Other comrades have received a comprehensive party class education, at least a comprehensive theoretical education.Everyone can understand this party organizational program.

Chen Tianhua's attention fell on the third article, "Party members of the Chinese People's Party must sever all ties with parties and groups that attempt to oppose the party's program." Chen Ke once explained the difference between the people's revolution and the revolution of the property owners very clearly.For Chen Tianhua, if he joins the People's Party, he must sever all ties with the Tongmenghui and Huaxinghui.After repeating each word, Chen Tianhua was very restless.Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren are close comrades in arms of Chen Tianhua.Severing ties, or all ties, this is very strict.

At this time, Hua Xiongmao laughed and said: "Wen Qing, you prepared this program before you met me?" Hearing this, Chen Tianhua looked up at Hua Xiongmao.Not only Chen Tianhua, everyone's eyes fell on Hua Xiongmao's face.After getting along for so many months, everyone knew that Hua Xiongmao was the first in the party to follow Chen Ke.Although Qi Huishen's status has risen rapidly, he didn't know Chen Ke very early.You Gou, Wu Xingchen, and even Zhou Yuanxiao who had just left knew Chen Ke earlier than Qi Huishen.When Hua Xiongmao said this, was he showing off his qualifications?Demonstrating to Qi Huishen?

I only heard Hua Xiongmao continue to read: "When the party is in a state of secrecy, the party's important propositions and party membership should be kept secret. Wen Qing, you have been observing this discipline. Everyone has known you for so long, and you have been hesitating for a long time. Don’t talk about the important ideas of the party. Haha. Sure enough, he is a good party member.”

Qi Hui gave Hua Xiongmao a deep look, but did not comment on Hua Xiongmao's words.He hesitated and asked, "Wen Qing, what will the party do with compradors in the future?" After hearing this, You Gou's eyes lit up, and he stared at Chen Ke intently.Others also waited for Chen Ke to answer with their own different worries.

"This manuscript is our organizational program. What I'm going to discuss today is also the organizational model of the People's Party. In fact, I have already discussed the deep-rooted issues in the party class before." Chen Ke answered this question calmly.

Chen Tianhua participated in the big lecture held by the People's Party, but then he went to Japan.The party class of the People's Party did not attend.He glanced around at the others, and saw everyone frowning in thought, even Wu Xingchen looked the same.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Ke thought they would say nothing more, so he simply spoke, "I came out to revolution, and my parents didn't let me declare my family name. Huishen and Yougou's family are compradors and landlords. As for Zhenglan's family, Gentlemen, landlords. Brother Wu is the head of the Tiandihui. Zudao and Wu'an's family, workshop owners, petty bourgeois. Tianhua, Huaxinghui, and Tongmenghui are inseparable. The eight of us are all from the old system. You have to In terms of wealth, no one is a poor person. But what is the foundation of organizational discipline? It is based on our standpoint. Are we standing on the standpoint of the people's revolution or standing on the standpoint of other classes? It's everyone's choice."

After Chen Ke finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and the comrades still had no intention of speaking, and everyone was listening and thinking.

"Let's vote now, who is on the side of the people's revolution?" After speaking, Chen Ke raised his hand.One by one, all raised their arms high.The first one to raise his arm was actually Wu Xingchen. Chen Ke didn't understand why he was so active.

"Put your hands down." Chen Ke said, and after speaking, Chen Ke put down his arms first.

"I said that the revolution is not for killing people, and I will not let everyone kill their fathers and mothers to prove their revolutionary consciousness. If people like us, including new party members in the future, parents, relatives and friends in the family On a standpoint different from ours, they even became reactionaries. As long as they don’t raise their butcher knives against the people, we won’t touch them. Even if they commit crimes against the people, as long as they can repent, we will give them a way out. policy."

After hearing this, You Gou breathed a sigh of relief.At this moment, Chen Ke said heavily: "But!" Hearing this heavy and loud "but", You Gou shivered slightly.

"However, our party organization requires that everyone's position must not be wrong. You cannot take the position of any party or group that attempts to oppose the party's program just because of your parents, relatives and friends. Party members are not allowed to defect to the party and defect to those who attempt to oppose the party. If you can’t do this, then you can leave now. If you feel that you will be in Cao Ying, or you will be in two boats, then please leave now. Because , after this charter is passed, I will lead everyone to take an oath to join the party. Leaving now, we just have different political stances, and we are still friends. Once you take the oath, and then leave because you cannot abide by party discipline, that is a traitor. I promise everyone , in the process of overthrowing the Manchu Qing regime that will begin immediately, we will absolutely not let any traitor go.”

"I was originally a party member, so I joined." Hua Xiongmao said carelessly, "Vote now."

"Please wait a moment." Chen Tianhua interrupted the voting process. "Wen Qing, what does Wen Qing think about other parties?"

"That's a technical matter. What we want to vote on is everyone's position." Chen Ke finished speaking and smiled. Unlike the previous smile, Chen Ke's face was indeed smiling, but his eyes were not smiling. The pair of elite eyes were bright. It seems to be able to read people's minds.

Chen Tianhua immediately understood that in terms of organizational discipline, his behavior was actually a standard behavior that could not sever ties with "parties and groups that attempt to oppose the party's program".

Chen Tianhua participated in the establishment of the Tongmenghui, and also participated in the fierce internal debates and factional struggles. He was very clear about the purpose of each faction of the Tongmenghui.The political positions between the People's Party and the Tongmenghui, and between the People's Party and Song Jiaoren are destined to erupt into fierce conflicts.More precisely, the two sides will inevitably be in a state of hostility in the future.

At some point, Chen Tianhua had closed his eyes and clenched his teeth so tightly that the muscles in his cheeks bulged.The voices and smiles of Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren came to his mind.The friendship of comrades-in-arms is by no means so easy to give up.But Chen Tianhua knew that after so much thinking and exploration, so many failures and obstacles.After meeting Chen Ke, it is considered that he has found a path that can truly see the future.Thinking of these, the fear and hesitation that I had back then came to my mind again.That kind of deep despair seems to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, and there is no way to know where the end is.

At this moment, Chen Kewen's warm voice came into Chen Tianhua's ears, "Xingtai, if you can't decide, we will talk about it later."

Chen Tianhua opened his eyes, and saw that Chen Ke had returned to his usual gentle expression. Chen Ke even looked at himself with a smile, his eyes filled with understanding and tolerance.Although some comrades around had disdain on their faces, Chen Tianhua's heart was warmed by Qi Huishen and You Gou's expectant expressions.That was not the most common expression of persecution and coercion that Chen Tianhua's other revolutionary party comrades had.Instead, the comrades walking in the front look forward to the encouraging eyes of those who are behind to catch up quickly.

During this period of time in the People's Party, there was no intrigue, no surly and tyrannical spirit caused by disappointment.This is an organization that advances through learning, through hard work and serious work.Although there are quarrels, they hurt no one.Everyone always laughed, like a warm fire in the cold night, not only pointing out the direction for those walking in the cruel darkness, but also warming the hearts of those walking in the cruel darkness.

"No need. I join the party. I will strictly abide by all organizational disciplines of the People's Party." Chen Tianhua said firmly.
