Li Jishen is vice chairman, and Zhou Wei listens to his words, and the Long March may be avoided
In 1949, the first session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was held in Beijing. The meeting elected the chairman, vice chairman, and other important posts of the new China.
In the list of vice-chairmen, the name Li Jishen, a former KMT top brass who even supported Chiang Kai-shek's counter-revolutionary coup, took center stage. However, it was such a controversial figure who was elected vice chairman of the People's Republic of China, which made many people dissatisfied.
In this regard, ** said that if ** had listened to his advice at the beginning, maybe the Red Army would not have to go through the hardships of the Long March. So, what exactly made Li Jishen able to become the vice chairman of New China?
What did he say before the Red Army's Long March? It turned out that he carefully arranged the reception work, so he became the target of Li Zongren and the United States.
Li Jishen resolutely rejected the US proposal, knowing very well that there is only one China, and it is impossible for any act to succeed. At that time, Li Jishen was living in Hong Kong, and after hearing the appeal, the democrats in Hong Kong responded one after another and decided to go north to participate in the new CPPCC meeting.
However, the democrats have been closely monitored and hindered by the British ** in Hong Kong, especially Li Jishen, who has become the target of the most attention. In order to better monitor Li Jishen, the spy even set up a hidden monitoring point outside his residence, which was a grocery store, which happened to observe the cloakroom of Li Jishen's house, but he was completely unaware that someone was secretly peeping.
Li Jishen's movements when he went out, the spy knew everything about it, and his coat was motionless, which meant that he had no plans to go out today. ** Carefully planned the mission to receive Li Jishen, arranged for Pan Hannian to go to Hong Kong to meet him, and also emphasized that he must take a Soviet ship and disembark at Dalian Military Port.
In 1927, the Nationalist Revolution suffered a heavy blow, and Chiang Kai-shek staged a counter-revolutionary coup d'état, frantically hunting down and killing communists and progressives. Chiang Kai-shek sent people to Shanghai to prepare for the arrest of *** and ordered Li Jishen to be responsible for the arrest of ***'s wife Deng Yingchao.
At that time, Deng Yingchao was hospitalized because of dystocia, and in order to avoid the spy **, she could only escape at night, which made her lose her fertility and unable to be a mother for life.
In 1948, Li Jishen saw that the democrats heard the May Day call one after another, and they all went to the liberated areas.
His motive for staying in Hong Kong was not so much to hide from the Communists in the liberated areas as it was because of the mistakes he had made during the revolution that filled him with suspicions. Li Jishen's heart was full of worry, and his past behavior forced him to seriously consider his future.
When he met Pan Han, the tension in his heart was relieved. During the conversation, he was deeply moved to learn that the Communist Party was willing to forgive him for his past and arranged a detailed plan for him to go north.
Hong Kong has been under British control for decades, and every Christmas, many people gather at Li Jishen's home, and the spies opposite him will also be closely monitored to prevent him from disappearing suddenly.
After nightfall, everyone in the family left, and Li Jishen planned to start moving, walking to the cloakroom to get his coat.
Pan Hannian, a veteran with many years of underground work experience, has a keen sense of smell for spy surveillance and tracking. He noticed something unusual in the grocery store opposite, so he reminded Li Jishen: "Someone is watching us, you'd better not take your coat, otherwise your whereabouts may be exposed." ”
Fortunately, the spy on the opposite side saw that the coat was still there, thinking that Li Jishen was still at home, so he relaxed his vigilance. Pan Hannian immediately seized the opportunity and led Li Jishen to the dock, successfully boarded the Soviet Aldan, and they sailed at sea for more than ten days before finally arriving at a port in Dalian.
On September 21, 1949, Li Jishen attended the first session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference as he wished.
At this important meeting, he was elected chairman of the People's Republic of China, and Li Jishen and others were appointed vice chairmen. In addition, Li Jishen and 44 other delegates put forward the first proposal of the People's Republic of China -- "Please send an urgent telegram to the United Nations in the name of the congress to deny the reactionary ** representative of the Kuomintang", which has had a far-reaching impact on the world.
When the list of vice chairmen was announced, Li Jishen's name caused a lot of controversy. Some people objected: "Li Jishen is not suitable for the post of vice chairman, because he has killed many revolutionaries for Chiang Kai-shek." ”
However, after knowing about this controversy, ** stood up and explained to everyone: "If Li Jishen had followed his advice at the beginning, the Red Army might not have to carry out the Long March." ”
** To further explain, at that time, Li Jishen launched the Fujian Incident and took the initiative to get in touch with the Red Army in the Soviet area of the Chinese Communist Party.
If history had not moved to the left, Li Jishen might still be firmly on the road of revolution. He was born in Cangwu, Guangxi, from a poor family, but he had great ambitions and was committed to fighting for the future of the country and its people.
During his studies at the Baoding Military Academy, he witnessed the decay and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, and personally participated in the struggle of the Wuchang Uprising, gaining valuable time for the rebel army.
These experiences strengthened his revolutionary beliefs, and he decided to join the Northern Expeditionary Army to work hard to overthrow the corrupt Qing Dynasty. In the end, Li Jishen played an important role in the Fujian Incident and proved his revolutionary determination and wisdom with practical actions.
Although the development of history cannot be changed, Li Jishen's beliefs and actions will forever be engraved in the pages of history.
With his outstanding military talent and superb command art, Li Jishen led the team to achieve a prominent position in the Northern Expeditionary Army and became a capable general under Sun Yat-sen.
However, after Chiang Kai-shek's counter-revolutionary coup d'état of April 12, Li Jishen accepted Chiang Kai-shek's orders to return to Guangdong, brutally suppressed the revolutionary organizations, disarmed the workers, and according to incomplete statistics, more than 2,000 revolutionaries died under the butcher's knife of the Kuomintang reactionaries.
As Chiang Kai-shek's ambitions grew, he began to purge the Kuomintang of influential top brassers. Although Li Jishen tried to mediate the contradictions between Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren of the Gui clan during his tenure as chief of the General Staff of the National Revolutionary Army, the deepening and deterioration of the contradictions aroused Chiang Kai-shek's suspicion that Li Jishen had a personal connection with Li Zongren.
Chiang Kai-shek did not remember the old days, and directly removed Li Jishen from his post and put him under house arrest in Tangshan. It wasn't released until after the 918 incident. Chiang Kai-shek always adhered to the principle that if you want to go outside, you must first settle down at home.
After his release, Li Jishen expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, and during the Songhu War of Resistance, he supported the actions of the 19th Route Army led by Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai. After Chiang Kai-shek learned that the Red Army in the Jiangxi Soviet District was growing stronger day by day, he could not sleep at night and was bent on mobilizing the 19th Route Army to encircle and suppress the Red Army.
However, most of the officers and men of the 19th Route Army were opposed to this order of Chiang Kai-shek. They had just fought against the Japanese invaders, and their enthusiasm for fighting Japan was even greater.
In their view, the priority at the moment was not to Chinese Chinese, but to drive the Japanese invaders out of China.
When Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai invaded Shanhaiguan in 1933, they realized that they must unite with the Communist Party to resist Japan and oppose Chiang. Against this background, Li Jishen took the initiative to contact the 19th Route Army, launched the Fujian Incident, and worked with the Red Army to oppose Chiang Kai-shek's resistance against Japan, which was supported by the majority of democrats.
After receiving Chiang Kai-shek's order to send him to lead the 19th Route Army to encircle and suppress the Red Army, Jiang Guangnai decisively decided not to participate in the civil war and returned to his hometown with his family. Although Chiang Kai-shek made him the director of the Fujian Pacification Office in view of his contribution to the Songhu War of Resistance, Chiang Guangnai had already lost trust in Chiang Kai-shek and was unwilling to go out again, so he delayed and did not go to the post.
The lychee in my hometown is very delicious, and now that you are here, you can taste it, and we will only talk about the old days, not politics. ”
On the way to Jiang Guangnai's house, they had a pleasant conversation, but when another military commander, Xiang Hanping, tried to return to the subject, he was led astray by Jiang Guangnai. After dinner, Cai Tingkai and Xiang Hanping still insisted, convincing Jiang Guangnai to take his responsibilities seriously.
Jiang Guangnai stood up and looked firmly ahead, indicating that he had thought it through and no longer pursued politics, but just wanted to live an ordinary life. He also persuaded the two of them to return to Fujian as soon as possible to handle military affairs.
Cai Tingkai was helpless and said that if he couldn't go back, Jiang Guangnai would better go home to recuperate. In the end, Jiang Guangnai still went to Fujian to take office. However, Chiang Kai-shek did not keep the agreement, made him the governor of Fujian, and even sent troops to encircle and suppress the 19th Route Army and entered Fujian.
In May 1933, as the veteran leader of the 19th Route Army, Chen Mingshu came to Hong Kong and met with Li Jishen, preparing to launch an uprising against Chiang.
Li Jishen and Chen Mingshu were both well-known figures in opposition to Chiang Kai-shek, but due to the lack of military strength, they decided to instigate an incident in Fujian to promote the opposition movement.
They brought in Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai, who were their subordinates, and hoped that they would provide military support. During the discussions, they said that they would establish an independent ** and unite all parties to jointly oppose Chiang.
However, although Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai supported the anti-Chiang, they believed that the establishment of ** was too hasty, underprepared, and there was a great risk. At this critical moment, I expressed my willingness to fight against Chiang and Japan together with the leaders of Fujian and Guangdong, providing them with new opportunities for their actions.
Li Jishen led the anti-Chiang representatives to get in touch with the Red Army and conclude a cease-fire agreement. Under Li Jishen's leadership, anti-Chiang delegates were invited to Hong Kong in October to attend talks, and they generally believed that if the Fujian incident was launched, they would be supported by all sides.
Subsequently, Li Jishen personally went to Fujian to prepare for the incident. After several rounds of discussions, everyone's opinions finally reached a unity, and on November 22, 1933, the People's Revolution of the Republic of China was proclaimed in Fuzhou, with Li Jishen as the chairman.
The original intention of the establishment of the ** was to oppose Chiang Kai-shek's resistance to Japan, and it was supported by many people. However, due to the lack of a mass base and internal solidarity issues, the ** faced challenges.
On the day after the Fujian Incident, Chiang Kai-shek sent troops to suppress the 19th Route Army. The 19th Route Army struggled to find an effective response strategy for a while. Cai Tingkai advocated taking the initiative and sending troops to fight in northern Fujian, while Chiang Guangnai tended to rely on the Red Army and focus on southwestern Fujian.
After listening to their opinions, Li Jishen decided that it was not appropriate to be adventurous and conservative, so he decided to fortify the area around Fujian. In December, Chiang Kai-shek personally went to the front to supervise the battle and brutally encircled and suppressed the 19th Route Army.
Due to the obvious disparity in troops, the 19th Route Army suffered successive defeats. Li Jishen contacted the Red Army, hoping to get their support. At that time, the Red Army was conducting its fifth anti-encirclement campaign.
** It was a hunch that the Republic of China might collapse quickly and be difficult to sustain for long, but if the Red Army and the 19th Route Army joined forces, they might be able to crush the enemy's conspiracy to encircle and suppress them.
The transfer of the main force of the Red Army to the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui regions could not only force Chiang Kai-shek to withdraw his encirclement and suppression forces, but also provide strong support for the 19th Route Army. **'s proposition was vetoed by Bogu, Li De and other people who held the most powerful power, believing that cooperation with Li Jishen and other intermediaries was not feasible.
As a result, the 19th Route Army, under pressure from Chiang Kai-shek, was in a desperate situation and was about to fall. It was not until the last moment that ** won the aid of the Red Army and advanced into Fujian, but it was too late.
In 1934, the 19th Route Army was unable to recover its defeat, and anti-Chiang activists fled one after another, including Li Jishen and Jiang Guangnai. After Chiang Kai-shek suppressed the 19th Route Army, he continued to encircle and suppress the ** Soviet area.
In the end, it failed in the fifth anti-encirclement campaign, and in October 1934, the Red Army was forced to embark on a long march of 10,000 miles.
After Li Jishen was elected vice chairman of the People's Republic of China, he showed his progress. In the past, he did not support the revolution, but now he has made great contributions to New China, and has won the trust of *** and ***, and has also been recognized by everyone.
This is the vision of development, we must see the growth and change of a person, not just the performance of the past.
