Crimson Dawn

Chapter 85

The success of the people's party's rescue operation has a good influence within the party, including the Huangpu Publishing House.Knowing that the comrades were successfully rescued and released from prison, the oppressive atmosphere of the past twenty days was swept away.The comrades who were rescued had families in Shanghai, and the party organization even arranged for family members to meet.

The advance team led by Hua Xiongmao has arrived in Anhui and started preliminary investigation work.Wu Xingchen also left for Hebei.The party organization entrusted Wu Xingchen with an official letter, informing Chen Tianhua to hurry back to Shanghai to assist in the transfer of the party organization to Anhui.

In addition to these out-of-town work, the People's Party and the Huangpu Publishing House held plenary meetings successively.After a less intense discussion at the meeting, the comrades agreed with the fact that the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves in Shanghai is too great.Chen Ke's request to go to Anhui for work was approved.Then Chen Ke personally sat down and established the Anhui Working Committee.The committee asked people to talk to and encourage them one by one.To Chen Ke's surprise, more than 70% of the members of the People's Party are willing to go to Anhui, and the number of members of the Huangpu Book Club is even higher, exceeding 80%.

January 1906, 1 was New Year's Eve, and the People's Party had a big holiday.Chen Ke also doesn't know when the comrades who work in Anhui will be able to spend the Spring Festival with their families in a peaceful environment next time.That's why he mentioned this suggestion, and it was unanimously agreed by the party members.

According to the plan, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the work of entering Anhui will officially begin.Relying on several non-medical disciplines of Shanghai Renxin Medical College, enrollment has already begun.Schools affiliated with the school's medical specialty will officially start classes after the beginning of spring.On New Year's Eve, the school's dormitory building was really bustling.

In November 1905, the Japanese government issued many regulations restricting Chinese students studying abroad. As a result, many students studying in Japan returned home.This group of people originally hoped to get a diploma and then return to China to "show great ambitions". Now they are forced to return to China, which arouses their "ambition".For these people, the most immediate way to achieve their goals is "running a school".The problem is that it costs money to run a school these days. Although these international students have a decent family background, they want to support the school. First, their financial resources are not enough. Second, their family members let them go to study abroad for the purpose of learning. After success, "glory ancestors" "promotion and fortune", and now the money has not been earned, but it is unrealistic for these people to let their families invest money in running schools.

So they started lobbying investors everywhere.The Huangpu Publishing House has become a gathering place for minor celebrities in Shanghai.Before the riots in Shanghai, Qi Huishen had been disturbed by this group of people.However, the so-called "blessings come with misfortunes", when the police arrested Qi Huishen, he was facing the daily routine visits of these foreign students, and the group of people who came to visit were also arrested.On the contrary, it proved that Qi Huishen had no time to participate in this movement.In addition, the British were not too willing to offend these Chinese students too much, so they were all released.Now that Chen Ke came back to preside over the work, this group of people saw the limelight pass, so they gathered at the school again.Chen Ke wanted to be righteous anyway, so he simply let these people live in the dormitory of the school temporarily.

Chen Ke has heard of and occasionally seen women hang themselves while crying.But he had never seen a man do this in real life.After a few of the returned students studying in Japan staged such a show for Chen Ke, he began to regret the move of agreeing to let these people live in the dormitory.

On New Year's Eve, Chen Ke watched the New Year's Eve with these foreign students.There are still a few women among the international students, and a very small number of women sit at one table, while boys occupy other tables in the cafeteria.Among this group of people, what Chen Ke cared about was the dozen or so foreign students engaged in prospecting.After the People's Party enters Anhui, it will definitely face a blockade in the future.Self-reliance, adequate food and clothing.To put it simply, in actual economic operations, the most basic industries such as mining, agriculture, and chemical industry are the most important.Even if it's for these mining personnel who don't know the real level, they are talents that Chen Ke must acquire.Among these people, Yao Hongye was the one Chen Ke valued the most.

Chen Ke didn't know Yao Hongye's history. This brother was born in 1881. According to Chen Ke's fabricated identity, he was one year younger than Chen Ke.Born in Xiameitang, Yiyang, Hunan. In 1904, he went to Japan to study abroad, set up a road mine school, and advocated the protection of the sovereignty of road mines. In 1905, he joined the Tongmenghui. In 1906, he protested against the "Regulations for Banning Overseas Students in the Qing Dynasty" promulgated by the Ministry of Education of Japan to prohibit the activities of Chinese students studying abroad. Jin and Yu Youren rented a house to start school, founded the Chinese public school, and pioneered a new school run by the people.Later, due to financial difficulties, school building difficulties, and slander rumors, Chen Tianhua's coffin arrived in Shanghai on Qingming Day (March 3) and died in the Huangpu River.

Since Chen Tianhua joined the People's Party, naturally there will be no more suicides.And this classmate Yao Hongye did not follow the old path in history. He returned to Shanghai in December 1905.At this time, both Chen Ke and Chen Tianhua were active in Beijing. Yao Hongye and Qiu Jin first participated in the social investigation activities launched by the People's Party.In social investigation activities, he tried his best to lobby Qi Huishen to fund the establishment of a mining university.Qi Huishen was very interested in his plan, but it was naturally inconvenient for Qi Huishen to make a decision on such a major matter.After Chen Ke returned to Shanghai, Yao Hongye met Chen Ke in person and continued to lobby Chen Ke to open the school.Chen Ke's reply was very simple. It is natural to open a school if you want to, but the main school of this school must be located in Anhui.Shanghai Zhineng opened a branch school.

Yao Hongye's enthusiasm was poured down by Doutou. He originally wanted to open a school in Shanghai.It is psychologically unacceptable for Chen Ke to take them to the backwaters of Anhui.Chen Ke wasn't afraid that Yao Hongye would disagree in the end, since there was no other investment, the mining school that was still on paper would either be aborted, or it would obediently obey Chen Ke's plan.If Chen Ke knew that Yao Hongye was forced to throw himself into the river because of insufficient funds in history, he would have more confidence.

In fact, it wasn't just Yao Hongye, most of the foreign students staying here had signed longer or shorter work contracts with Renxin College.This trick is popular all over the world. In the two months since Chen Ke left Shanghai, the production of special effects drugs has made huge profits.It can be said that thanks to Wang Qinian's blessing, in Southeast Asia, the sales of specific medicines have been expanded and expanded. In January, it actually reached a record of 3000 people, earning 10 taels of silver.By January 1906, the existing funds of the People's Party exceeded 1 taels.With money in hand, don't panic.If it's just a few new majors, it's really not bad for the salary of a hundred and ten people.

Moreover, the People's Party has a plan for who to recruit, and basically does not want liberal arts students.These people are not people like Lu Xun, and it is useless to ask liberal arts students.In Chen Ke's place, those who cry, make trouble and hang themselves are liberal arts students.Among the liberal arts students, apart from those studying law, Chen Ke did not recruit any of them.

Generally speaking, a vigil begins with eating and drinking.But for a few hours, you can't keep eating and drinking.Qiu Jin did not go home for the New Year this time.At this time, celebrating the New Year with everyone, as a revolutionary propagandist, after a few drinks, Qiu Jin's nature came, and he began to tell the truth of the revolution in public.Chen Ke didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, the propaganda of this era is something he has heard many times.In addition, you will be going to Anhui soon. In the face of difficult grassroots work, you will blow it so loudly to arouse everyone's emotions. When you see the backcountry, the gap will be too big.

The international students naturally love this mouth. For these temporarily powerless students, the revolution has also drawn a beautiful pie.Whether you can eat it in your mouth or not, let's feast our eyes first.The mood of the audience is getting higher and higher.When Chen Ke talked with those key selection candidates, he had already talked about the hardships of working in Anhui, and he was unwilling to pour any more cold water at this time.Seeing that his wife, He Ying, was not interested in Qiu Jin's speech, he secretly winked at He Ying, and then slipped out.Not long after, He Ying also slipped out.The couple walked hand in hand in the school.

Chen Ke and his wife were not the only ones outside. Many students set off cannons and fireworks on campus.The crackling cannons are also very lively.

"Are you homesick?" Chen Ke asked.

Ying answered honestly.

Chen Ke wanted to apologize, but felt that there was really nothing to apologize for.Now that you're both married, let's live together. "I'll play the piano for you." Chen Ke said.

Ying still answered honestly.

The couple slipped into the music room of the school.Chen Ke has been here several times in the past few days. After arriving in Anhui, how can he have time to play with this petty bourgeoisie?Chen Ke, as a leader, plays the piano for his wife, is this effective?So Chen Ke felt that he had to play for his wife a few more times now.

The sound of the piano is melodious, but it is "With You Along the Way", "Do you know that loving you is not easy, and it takes a lot of courage..." Chen Ke sang.He Ying's complexion changed a little after hearing this.Chen Ke was so absorbed in playing and singing that he didn't notice his wife's expression at all.After playing a song, Chen Ke still thought it was very good.But He Ying lowered her head and suddenly asked, "I miss my aunt."

"Let's go see her in a few years." Chen Ke replied heartlessly.Seeing He Ying's complexion change after she said this good sentence, she became even more unhappy.Chen Ke realized after a while, and quickly explained: "I didn't write this song and lyrics at all. I just think it sounds good, and there is no other meaning at all."

He Ying seemed dissatisfied with this answer, and Chen Ke felt a little wronged at this moment, so he explained again, but no matter how he explained, he felt that the argument became more and more black, so he simply changed to "My Motherland" and played and sang.This song is very nice, but He Ying didn't really care about it at first.It's just a girl's inexplicable emotions.Seeing that Chen Ke didn't explain anymore, he didn't pursue it.After playing and singing a few pieces in a row, suddenly footsteps sounded in the corridor, but it was the sound of a group of people coming up.Then I heard Qiu Jin's slightly drunken voice, "Wen Qing hides here and loves me, but I'm envious of you." As soon as the words fell, a group of people rushed in.The leader was Qiu Jin, and the one following her was actually Chen Tianhua.

As soon as Chen Tianhua came back, the foreign students seemed to have a backbone.This is also the effect Chen Ke pursued. Sure enough, some international students who were not very enthusiastic about going to Anhui finally expressed their willingness to work in Anhui.Especially under Chen Tianhua's persuasion, Yao Hongye finally expressed his willingness to join the school with those students who were studying mining.However, Yao Hongye said that the main school must be located in Shanghai, but he himself promised that a group of students would be sent to Anhui to work in one year.Coupled with Chen Tianhua's mediation, although Chen Ke didn't trust their enthusiasm and guarantee, he couldn't be too picky.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, comrades returned to work one after another.On February 2, comrades from the Beijing Party Group also rushed back.This time there were far more people than expected. Mao Yibo, Xu Dian, Su Wuming and others brought a dozen comrades to Shanghai.Qin Tongren did not come with the team, because there are still many things in Beijing that need him to finish, and Qin Tongren is also trying to gather more people. As long as there is a clue in Anhui, he will lead the "big team" to come Join comrades.

On February 2, Shang Yuan also arrived in Shanghai. On February 18, the first national preparatory meeting of the People's Party was officially held in Shanghai.

Many years later, many comrades in the party discussed what kind of level the People's Party's first national preparatory meeting was.What is the difference between the status of the first national preparatory conference and the first national congress?This is no small problem.This determines the order of seniority in the party.In this preparatory meeting, there were 53 official party members and probationary party members. Those from the north of Huaihe River occupied 23 seats, and those from the south of Huaihe River occupied 23 seats.It turned out to be a wonderful balance of power.Official party members and probationary party members come from eleven provinces including Taiwan, including seven Japanese comrades.

There are not many memoirs of this preparatory meeting, and most of the participants did not live long enough to have the leisure to write memoirs.Apart from the official secretary's records of the meeting, the most important thing is Wang Qinian's diary.At that time, Wang Qinian had passed away, and records from France proved that Wang Qinian had received a "baptism" ceremony in a Protestant church in France in 1900 and became a Protestant.Against the backdrop of the eradication of the three major Christian sects in the Republic, the manuscripts of Wang Qinian after his death were thoroughly inspected, resulting in the discovery of those dozens of diaries.

Of course, after research by the staff, it is really unknown how different Wang Qinian's belief in "Christ" is from his belief in "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva".When he was "called by the Lord", Wang Qinian himself did not show any intention of asking religious figures for "consolation at the end of life".In addition, since Wang Qinian himself joined the party, he has never said or done any words or deeds to prove that he has the slightest resistance or confusion to materialism and atheism.Therefore, the retrieval work concluded that "Wang Qinian accidentally participated in a certain Protestant religious activity because of mental depression before he came into contact with materialist theory in his youth."

In the diary, the record of the People's Party's first national preparatory meeting is as follows:

"On the first day of the meeting, there were people from all over the world. Many people basically understood their speech too well, especially comrades in the north could not understand the accent of comrades in the south. Everyone had to have an interpreter for their speeches, and the venue was noisy."

"Wen Qing didn't say any words of encouragement at all when facing comrades explaining how to work in Anhui. Not only that, but like a Puritan, he repeatedly emphasized the hard work in rural areas. He asked everyone to abandon all superior mentality, Shen Go down and sink among the people to do the most practical work."

"I have lived in the countryside and know the hard work of farmers. I think Wen Qing's attitude is very strange. His description seems to cheer him up. Everyone knows that Wen Qing has never been to the countryside after returning from overseas. But then, Wen Qing put forward his own targeted solutions one by one to improve the development of rural productivity. Moreover, Wen Qing bluntly stated that the work of going to the countryside this time is to completely seize all local administrative power. All power goes to the People’s Congress led by the BJP. These words are very fresh, and this is the first time I’ve heard them.”

"In the speech of the second youth, everyone must implement the party's organizational program, follow the command in all actions, and have only one work goal, which is to overcome all difficulties and complete the tasks assigned by the organization. This is the first time many comrades have seen Wenqing adopt Such a tough attitude. It seems that many comrades are a little dissatisfied. If Wenqing is not the initiator of the People's Party, and the old party members are very convinced by him, someone will definitely make a fuss in public with such a blunt statement. Even In this way, many people privately feel that Wen Qing's attitude is too domineering."

"The meeting on the third day is to assign tasks. Anyway, I treat patients wherever I am, and I will go to Anhui to work in June. In the first semester of the medical major, my task is to find people who are willing to work in Anhui. Students. Of course, many students in the school signed apprenticeship contracts with the school. They must unconditionally obey the school’s arrangements within seven years. Xu Dian from the north seems to be a law student. He has some objections to this issue. Wen Qing told Everyone, after these students come to work in Anhui, their contracts will be automatically voided. If they are voided now, those people will definitely not follow. These days, it’s just a dish to pluck into the basket, and there are so many tricks that can’t be controlled. I think Wen Qing What you said is very reasonable. If you know some medical skills, especially those who know Western medicine, who would follow you to the countryside these days. If Wen Qing hadn’t said that he would lead a team to the countryside of Anhui in person, I wouldn’t go to the countryside.”

The meeting was held for three days, and basically determined the party's development program and goals in the base areas.This was the gist of the seniority discussions between the delegates to the First National Preparatory Conference and the delegates to the First National Congress.As we all know, Chen Ke's status in the party was formally determined, as well as the complete revolutionary program and direction of the revolution were all fully completed at the First National Congress.In the first national preparatory meeting, the direction of the revolution was mentioned, but Chen Ke's status was not discussed.

On February 1906, 2, the third day after the end of the first national preparatory meeting of the People's Party, the People's Party began to dispatch the first batch of official Anhui missions. Party members headed by Chen Ke and other comrades officially set foot on the Anhui journey.
