Crimson Dawn

Chapter 80

Qualifications and prestige are intangible political capital, and Mao Zedong's prestige was accumulated only after he was always correct for decades.Chen Ke's current accumulation of ideas is far from enough.He didn't dare to waste his existing resources recklessly.If you can't convince your comrades at this meeting, the next work will be very difficult.

After Hua Xiongmao participated, all comrades from the Shanghai Party branch arrived except for those who were arrested and defected.The meeting took turns to speak, starting with Qi Huishen, and everyone had to make a statement.Chen Ke didn't turn this meeting into a loyalty meeting against himself.The party doesn't do this.Modern political parties are organized on the basis of political opinions rather than personal relationships.The strength of the organizational discipline of a modern political party is the only criterion for determining combat effectiveness.

After some speeches, the comrades put forward a variety of views. In summary, there are three. First, to what extent should the party's intelligence sharing go.Who should hold the core secrets of the party.The appearance of a traitor was really shocking. After being locked up in a prison in the concession for a few days, someone turned and told the situation of the party organization.

After Chen Ke raised this issue that everyone was concerned about, everyone felt that this must be confirmed.

"Since everyone actively and passively participated in this incident, I think we must give an explanation to each comrade. Let me first talk about some of my feelings in Beijing." During his days in Beijing, Chen Ke met many people and made constitutional There are both factions and revolutionaries.In fact, scholars in the late Qing Dynasty only had different degrees of rebellion, but no one wanted to rebel or not.The local gentry who are expected to take power these days advocate "constitutional reform" and gain a political voice through constitutionalism.Although overseas students and some "progressive youth" look respectable, in fact, even if it is "constitutional", they cannot really gain power.These people became the main force advocating the "Republican Revolution".In the final analysis, it is necessary to seize the power of the Qing Dynasty.

After talking about the difference between "constitutional" and "republican" in this country, everyone felt that Chen Ke had strayed too far from the topic.What happened this time was that the Manchu Qing government and the concessions jointly suppressed the People's Party and the Huangpu Publishing House, although everyone was released quickly.Lu Huitian asked Chen Ke, many of the comrades either sat in the prison of the patrol room, or were arrested and locked up by the Shanghai government.The means of the two parties in this matter are the same.What does this have to do with "constitutional" and "republican"?

Chen Ke continued to explain that the Manchu Qing court was naturally unwilling to voluntarily step out of the stage of history. In order to maintain the regime, they had to suppress the revolutionaries on the one hand and restore their reputation on the other hand.One of the main reasons for domestic criticism of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is to lose power and humiliate the country.Foreign invaders want to oppress the Manchu Qing government to spit out more benefits, but the Manchu Qing government is naturally unwilling.And the Qing Dynasty is now working hard to recover the lost sovereignty, at least it must not lose its sovereignty again.This is not because the Manchu court is so patriotic, but because they firmly believe that the "rebels" cannot be given more excuses to attack the Manchu court.The joint trial of the public office happened to be the main struggle between the legal power of the imperial court and the extraterritorial legal power of foreign countries in China.

Before Guan Jiong, the Chinese chief official of the joint trial incident, took this position, the Shanghai Joint Trial Committee had changed several joint trial officials in a short period of time. The reason was that those officials could not maintain China's existing powers.Shanghai is located in Shanghai where the contradictions between China and foreign countries are the most obvious, and the Manchu Qing absolutely refused to make any concessions here.

After the gun battle, the arrests were made by the police in order to prove their "rationality of action." The arrests by the Shanghai government were just to meet the situation, to show that the Shanghai government has the ability to maintain local law and order in Shanghai, and not to give foreigners an excuse to continue to intervene.This is not the cooperation between the two parties, but another manifestation of the contradiction between the two parties.

After listening to Chen Ke's analysis, everyone felt that it was both right and wrong.The conflict between the Manchus and the foreigners was indeed the case. According to Chen Ke's analysis, both sides should kill the arrested people, torture them to extract confessions, and then prove their "correctness".Especially after the traitors of the People's Party told the concessions about the internal situation of the People's Party, they should pursue them even more.This time, it was the concession that released people first.

After listening to the comrades' questions, Chen Ke raised his left hand and stretched out two fingers.Everyone didn't know what Chen Ke meant, and looked at Chen Ke inexplicably. "There are two factors that determine that everyone can be released. It is this conflict that determines that they will release people."

First, politically, the Shanghai Consulate was very clear about the Chinese literati group’s dissatisfaction with the Manchus, and they knew even more that the Chinese literati group hated foreigners even more.In the joint trial of the public house incident, the local forces tended to stick to the position of the Manchu state to stick to the national interests.If the Shanghai consular corps pursues the case, it will only deepen the dislike of the literati group.No benefit to foreigners.And it has to be said that, thanks to the traitors, the People's Party, in the eyes of the foreign consulates in Shanghai, is nothing more than a local literati political organization in Shanghai.With such a classification, the foreign consular corps in Shanghai must face a problem. The fierce pursuit of literati and political groups like the People's Party will only make Shanghai's attitude against foreign consular corps more determined.Even the comprador group, which has always supported foreigners, did not support foreigners this time.Instead of chasing the People's Party, the foreign consular corps might as well show their "goodwill". In addition, Qi Huishen's comprador father tried his best to lobby the British. Except for a few people who were caught participating in the gun battle, others also They were all released.

The Shanghai government hopes to borrow the support of the local government, and they have no enthusiasm for arrests.It is just to prove that the government has the ability to maintain local law and order, and to warn the radical forces not to act rashly again by arresting people.Since the British released him, and Yan Fu and other well-known people lobbied the Shanghai government, the Shanghai government also released him.

These are all manifestations of contradictions. The two main contradictions—the Manchu government and the foreign invaders—need to win over some people to their side after the fierce armed struggle ended and the Shanghai market returned to normal. Instead of driving other forces into the opponent's camp all at once.The People's Party can survive because the People's Party is not the main party in the contradiction.

After listening to this analysis, the comrades were really amazed.Things have twists and turns, but whether it is arresting or releasing people, it is all carried out around the main contradiction.After Chen Ke's analysis, what seemed to be unreasonable things got a very reasonable explanation.The changes between the patrol house and the Shanghai government are actually completely determined by the progress of the struggle and the changes in conditions.

The new party members who attended the meeting had only heard some ordinary lectures given by Chen Ke. Although they knew that Chen Ke was the initiator of the People's Party after joining the party, Chen Ke was no longer in Shanghai and had gone to Beijing.The deeper theories about the party were all narrated by Qi Huishen and the others.Therefore, these new party members felt that Chen Ke was not in Shanghai when the incident happened, and immediately called the meeting as the absolute host as soon as he returned to Shanghai.Everyone may not be convinced in their hearts.It's just that Chen Ke got the support of other old party members, so many people didn't dare to show contempt.After listening to Chen Ke's analysis, the new party members knew why Chen Ke was able to be the leader of the organization, and why Qi Huishen and others were so obedient to Chen Ke.After Chen Ke returned to Shanghai, Qi Huishen and the others seemed to have a backbone, and their spirits looked very different.The theoretical level of the two sides is indeed very different.

Seeing the discussion among the new comrades below, Chen Ke looked around at the old party members, and saw that Qi Huishen, You Gou, Wu Xingchen, and Chai Qingguo were thoughtful, while Hua Xiongmao and He Zudao were happy. Qin Wuan nodded slightly with bright eyes.It seems that everyone has accepted their point of view.As long as these official party members can accept their attitude, then the following things can proceed smoothly.

The new party members were full of joy and whispered. It seemed that it was the first time for them to hear such a profound practical analysis of the "contradiction theory".Chen Ke secretly said in his heart, I am actually at such a level now, it is much easier for Zhuge Liang afterwards.When we use the "contradiction theory" to analyze future development, I hope we can have today's clarity.

Seeing that the discussion of the comrades below was almost done, Chen Ke said loudly: "This is just a peripheral factor. There is also a more important decisive factor inside." Hearing Chen Ke's words, all the comrades stopped talking. The analysis solved everyone's doubts. In the eyes of comrades, the two biggest enemies, the Manchus and the foreigners, have been analyzed clearly.What else is the "decisive" factor that can control the situation?All are listening.

Chen Ke's voice was strong and powerful, "If it's just our people's party comrades, in fact, according to the general situation, whether it's the concession or the Manchu Qing, they will make an example. The case of "Su Bao" has only passed a few years ago. Zhang Bingyan, Zou Rong, which one is not more famous than the ones here? They have more charisma and have more relatives and friends. Why did Zhang Bingyan spend two years in the prison in the concession, and Zou Rong was abused even at a young age? , died in prison. Why can our comrades come out."

This is a profound statement. Comrades originally thought that firstly, the conflict was not intense enough, and secondly, there were people behind it. Looking at it this way, it was natural to be able to come out after being arrested.Listening to Chen Ke's comparison of the People's Party and the "Su Bao" case, it stands to reason that comparing the Su Bao case with the People's Party's picture is nothing at all.As a result, several key figures in the "Su Bao" case were either imprisoned or killed.Moreover, "Su Bao" was also ordered to suspend publication.This comparison is very representative.

"Because the people participated in this operation. The power of the people, and only the power of the people is the key to everything." Chen Kelang said.

The cause of the joint public hearing incident was that a Cantonese woman, Li Huangshi, was going to send her coffin back to her hometown for burial after her husband who was an official in Sichuan passed away.Li Huang and his traveling companions, three men and two women, took a ship from Chongqing down the Yangtze River and were going to return to Guangdong via Shanghai. Since there were 1905 girls traveling with them, they aroused the suspicion of the police on the way.As soon as Li Huang's group arrived in Shanghai in December 12, they were arrested by the patrol house on the charge of kidnapping people and sent to the joint trial office for trial.The case was jointly heard by Guan Jizhi, the Chinese member, Jin Shaocheng (deputy member) of Xiangyuan, and De Wei, the British vice-consul.According to Li Huang's statement, the accompanying girl was bought by relatives in Guangdong on trust. As a maid or maidservant, there are proofs of her worth. In addition, there are more than 100 pieces of carry-on luggage in the boat, which is obviously not done by human traffickers.As a result, Guan Jizhi believed that the evidence for the crime of abduction charged by the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry was insufficient, and decided to temporarily detain Li Huang and his party in the public servants' house to wait for their release.Unexpectedly, the head of the arresting house jumped out first and said that Li Huang was a kidnapper and had to be brought back by the arresting house.Then, Deweimen also came forward to help, insisting that the arrest house should bring the prisoner back, and change the detainment to the female prison of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

This was a purely official event. After hearing the news, the Cantonese Association of Cantonese in Shanghai——Guangzhao Office first expressed support, held a meeting of fellow villagers, and lodged a protest. Employees and other social classes gathered to protest the atrocities committed by foreigners.The officials and people in Shanghai unanimously demanded the release of Li Huang, the replacement of Deweimen, the punishment of the arrester Mu Tusheng (gibson) who assaulted the officials, and the transfer of the female criminals from the West Prison to the public house.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing government also lodged a protest to the foreign missions stationed in Beijing.

Members of the People's Party and Whampoa Publishing House who heard the news took the initiative to fully intervene. The originally spontaneous mass movement became more orderly and mobilized far more deeply than before with the Shanghai Party branch making suggestions and making contacts.It was also the first time in the history of Shanghai that a parade of tens of thousands of people took place.Many Shanghai citizens who had just experienced the boycott of American goods and had high patriotism participated in the parade.Great display of the power of the people.

The Shanghai Chinese Business Association immediately issued a statement, calling on all Chinese stores in the concession to strike in protest.As strikes, strikes, and strikes continued, the bustling public concession was almost paralyzed, and foreigners were helpless.Had to negotiate with the Shanghai government to resolve this incident.

Members of the BJP led the operation because of their personal participation, and to a certain extent, their leadership.The reputation of the people is very high, especially the gun battle incident, which makes the People's Party and Huangpu Publishing House have a good reputation among the people.In order to quell public anger, both the concession and the Manchu government had to release the members of the People's Party and the Huangpu Book Club who did not participate in the gun battle.

"Comrades, we are not the [-] or so members of the People's Party, or the [-] or [-] members of the Huangpu Publishing House who are fighting against foreigners. We should not just see our own efforts. There are tens of thousands of Shanghai citizens behind us. More Chinese people are supporting us. If the foreign devils did not dare to attack us, why were the four comrades who participated in the gun battle not released? If the Manchu Qing court had conflicts with foreigners, why didn’t they release those comrades from the foreign devils? Want to come out and release them? Because they are afraid that after releasing these people who used force to resist their rule, the people will continue to use weapons to fight against the foreign devils, and even against the Manchu Qing court, which is not much stronger than the foreign devils."

Everyone fell silent. Chen Ke was right. These young people used to complain in their familiar environment, scolding foreigners and the court.Really being chased and searched by police officers and soldiers, everyone has the same fear and powerlessness.Being able to be released was already an unexpected result for them.After Chen Ke's analysis, they felt that they were very lucky at first, but they didn't really regain their original vigor.After listening to Chen Ke's analysis of the power of the people, many people have another feeling in their hearts.Yes, people power.It is precisely because of the participation of the people that the concession and the government are taken into consideration.Among the party members present, most of them participated in the parade in person, and the long queue of people that could not be seen at a glance still makes people who saw it with their own eyes feel excited when they think about it.Without being in it, without leading everyone to shout slogans, without getting the response of so many people, it is impossible to feel that sense of power.

"The people, only the power of the people is great, and this is the only power that can change China and change China's destiny." Chen Ke said loudly, "Long live the people!"

Hearing such words, everyone's emotions were mobilized, and the initial depression was swept away.Everyone's face is brighter.Qi Huishen raised his hands and began to applaud. One by one, all the comrades began to applaud, and the warm applause echoed in the classroom.

"Long live the people!" Hua Xiongmao shouted.During the days when Chen Ke was not around, Hua Xiongmao felt uncomfortable.Now that Chen Ke is back, Hua Xiongmao is already very happy.Listening to Chen Ke's precise analysis has already conquered the comrades.He naturally wants to add fuel to the flames.

"Long live the people!" He Zudao who was beside Hua Xiongmao also shouted.He has always been Chen Kechun's quasi-follower.But this time he called out from the heart.As a liaison officer, He Zudao was responsible for contacting various forces in Shanghai. Watching more and more people join the parade, and finally merged into such a torrent, this simple child had never experienced such a scene. Chen Ke Those words really resonated with He Zudao.

Chen Ke suddenly stood up, "Comrades, perhaps it is because of our participation that this movement has become more scaled, but even if we did not participate, wouldn't the people take to the streets? Wouldn't they be parading? No, comrades , the people will still spontaneously take to the streets and march spontaneously. The revolution does not exist, the revolution already exists, and the people need a revolution! And the people know who their enemy is! They do! Don't they know that it is the oppression of foreigners? They themselves? Don’t they know that Guan Jizhi, the interrogator, is opposing the lawlessness of foreigners? The people know! So when our party comrades promoted the parade, did the people refuse? They didn’t, they needed it. To express their dissatisfaction, although they faced the guns of the foreign devils, did they stop shouting? No! The people did not stop shouting! Comrades of the People’s Party present here, if we don’t only have such a few guns, so few people .We have tens of thousands of troops with excellent equipment. When we face the foreign devils and the enemies of the people, which side do you think the people will stand on? Tell me!"

Everyone was imagining the scene described by Chen Ke, and an indescribable sense of trembling made everyone feel excited!yes!If there are not only a few guns, and if there are thousands of troops, then the people must be on the side of the People's Party.

"Where do our guns come from? Where does our army come from. They don't fall from the sky, they don't grow from the ground. They are among those people! Only by mobilizing the people and letting them know the program of our People's Party can China be saved, and the people will Join us! Only then will you follow us, and you will become our comrades! There are [-] million compatriots in China, even if only [-] million people believe in us, if only [-]% of them join us, that is an army of millions! Can it prevent us from winning the revolution? Comrades. Is there any!"

Chen Ke's resolute and sharp eyes swept over everyone, and everyone was excited, as if there was something to say, but something was stuck in their throats and they couldn't say it.

"The people are great, because without the support of the people, everyone is still in prisons of the foreign devils or the imperial court. If there is no support of the people, the foreign devils and the government will dare to torture us! Show the torture to the public. Now we can It’s safe and secure, and no one with missing arms or legs is sitting here, thanks to the blessings of the people! People have to be conscientious! If you dare not say it in public, then our own comrades are together, we will always dare to say it! I ask everyone to follow me! Thanks to the people, long live the people!"

"Thanks to the people! Long live the people!" Qi Huishen took the lead in shouting.

"Thanks to the people! Long live the people!" Hua Xiongmao and He Zudao shouted.

"Thanks to the people! Long live the people!" You Gou shouted.

"Thanks to the people! Long live the people!" Finally all the comrades began to shout.

Chen Ke led and chanted slogans over and over again, watching the comrades change from initial embarrassment to understanding, gradually to a kind of belief, and finally to a kind of enthusiasm!Until finally everyone uttered the same sound in unison.

This is the first time the voice of "Long Live the People" has been shouted out!Looking at the increasing enthusiasm of the comrades, Chen Ke believes that this slogan will be shouted again and again in the future, and the number of people will increase and the area will become wider and wider.Until the whole of China is covered.

On January 1906, 1, all comrades in the expanded Shanghai Party branch acquiesced in Chen Ke's leadership.
