"Tigers, beasts".
The original meaning of "fighting tigers" was taken from the story of "Wu Song fighting tigers", and now it usually refers to punishing corrupt elements in high positions and powerful positions that harm one side.
After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a zero-tolerance anti-corruption campaign of "fighting tigers and swatting flies" officially began.
In fact, 89 years ago, the Communist Party of China's "tiger fighting" campaign was already vigorously launched.
Among them, Xie Busheng is the "first tiger" recorded in the history of the party.
The Provisional Chinese Soviet Republic was established in November 1931 and served as the provisional chairman.
Three months later, under the auspices of ***, a shocking campaign to punish corruption and eliminate corruption was rapidly launched in the **Soviet region.
As early as the Jinggangshan period, the Kuomintang's corrupt work style, which was deeply disgusted, formulated the "Jinggangshan Anti-Corruption Instruction" and strictly implemented the "instruction" to punish some corrupt elements.
For example, in May 1928, the chief of the 28th Regiment of the Red Fourth Army bought a pig from his fellow villagers, but did not pay for it.
In a fit of rage, the fellow ran to the military headquarters of the Red Fourth Army to complain.
At that time, the commander of the Red Fourth Army and the party representative, ** and *** immediately decided to launch an investigation, and in the investigation, it was also confirmed that the secretary of the department had filled his own pockets and other behaviors when purchasing materials.
In the end, **proposed, **clapped, and shot the secretary of the department who had made meritorious contributions.
In contrast, the anti-corruption campaign in the Soviet region was larger, more extensive, and more vigorously enforced.
Therefore, this is the first large-scale anti-corruption campaign in the history of the CCP.
In the history of the development of the Communist Party of China, the first party member, the first party branch, the first "party congress", countless "firsts" will forever be recorded in the annals of history, and countless revolutionaries will remain famous in history.
The chairman of a village Soviet named Xie Busheng also created a "first".
In the history of the Chinese Communist Party, Xie Busheng was the first corrupt element to be executed.
As the "first tiger" recorded in the history of the party, Xie Busheng's level is not high, and he can only be regarded as a "fly" at best.
However, Xie Busheng was "lucky" to be called the "first tiger" and was recorded in the history of the party.
This is not to confuse or blur the definitions of "tiger" and "fly", but because of the historical significance of this event.
The execution of Xie Busheng was not only the first shot fired by Ruijin, the "Red Capital," in punishing corrupt elements, but also the beginning of our party's anti-corruption history.
Xie Busheng's "case" originated from a woman's denunciation.
History is often strikingly similar, and in recent years, among the corrupt officials who have been investigated and punished, many corrupt elements have "caused trouble" because of similar situations.
One day in February 1932, a woman named Zhu Xiuxiu from Yeping Village came to the Ruijin County Soviet Referee Office.
This beautiful woman reported that Xie Busheng, chairman of the Yeping Village Soviet, had killed her husband Xie Shenrun.
Xie Busheng, a native of Yeping Township, the Ninth District of Ruijin County, was born in poverty, participated in the workers' and peasants' armed rebellion in 1929, joined the Communist Party of China the following year, and served as chairman of the Yeping Village Soviet.
In the eyes of the people, Xie Busheng has high enthusiasm for work and a vigorous and resolute work style, and many cadres and masses, including some comrades of the Soviet District ** Bureau, are full of praise for him.
However, Xie Busheng in private has a different face.
He Shuheng, the minister of the "Temporary ** Workers' and Peasants' Inspection Department" who was in charge of investigating this case, quickly confirmed that the nature of Xie Busheng's murder case was vile and extremely shocking!
Whistleblower Zhu Xiuxiu's husband Xie Shenrun was Xie Busheng's old partner when he was doing business, and when the Yeping Village Soviet divided the villagers' class composition, Xie Shenrun was originally designated as a "rich peasant".
However, Xie Busheng relied on the power in his hands and insisted on making Xie Shenrun a "poor peasant".
For this reason, Xie Shenrun and his wife were grateful to Xie Busheng, and invited Xie Busheng to eat and drink for three days.
After coming and going, Xie Busheng hooked up with Zhu Xiuxiu, who was plump and quite good-looking.
One night, when Xie Shenrun was out of the house, Xie Busheng came to Zhu Xiuxiu's house again.
Unexpectedly, Xie Shenrun suddenly returned home early, and Xie Busheng and Zhu Xiuxiu were arrested red-handed.
Xie Shenrun was furious, and grabbed Xie Busheng to denounce him.
At this time, Xie Busheng threatened Xie Shenrun: with his own power, if Xie Shenrun insisted on denunciating, Xie Busheng would accuse Xie Shenrun of "hidden reactionaries, subverting the workers' and peasants' regime, and framing revolutionary cadres".
Xie Busheng also talked about a "deal" with Xie Shenrun:
If Xie Shenrun "opens his eyes and closes his eyes", he will give up at this time, otherwise, with the above crimes, Xie Shenrun will definitely die.
Xie Shenrun, who was timid and afraid, finally chose to compromise.
However, within a few days, Xie Busheng let Xie Shenrun "evaporate from the world".
When Zhu Xiuxiu found out that her husband was killed by Xie Busheng, she quarreled and fought with Xie Busheng.
Xie Busheng not only punched Zhu Xiuxiu, but also threatened Zhu Xiuxiu: "If you continue to entangle like this, you and your husband will end up the same." ”
In the end, Zhu Busheng locked up Zhu Xiuxiu, who was crying and making trouble.
After thinking about it, Zhu Xiuxiu finally made up her mind, pried open the door, ran to the county Soviet referee office, and denounced Xie Busheng's evil deeds.
Under the auspices of He Shuheng, in just two days, the referee department basically grasped the facts of Xie Busheng's violation of discipline and law.
After touching the melon, the referee department also learned another situation, Xie Busheng not only occupied Zhu Xiuxiu, but also had an affair with a woman named Wang Caifeng.
This Wang Caifeng is the concubine of Xie Yijin, a famous landowner in Ruijin, who has just been suppressed by the Soviets.
In order to satisfy his selfish desires and curry favor with these **, Xie Busheng used his status as the leader of the riot squad and the chairman of the village Soviet to make a lot of money.
The riot team beat the local tyrants and obtained 100 catties of salt, a few horses of silk and satin, and a bag of gold and silver jewelry, all of which Xie Busheng took home privately and gave them to the two women;
In addition, Xie Busheng also extorted 270 oceans from the owner of the cloth shop to kill a military doctor who participated in the Nanchang Uprising.
At Xie Busheng's home, the investigators searched for gold rings, military kettles, military uniforms, blankets and other items that Xie Busheng had stolen from the military doctor.
The evidence is ironclad, and everyone has stolen goods.
The facts of Xie Busheng's crime were quickly verified and clarified.
However, on the issue of how to deal with Xie Busheng, the case-handling personnel encountered a lot of resistance.
Xie Busheng's introduction to the party was a senior cadre of the Soviet District ** Bureau, who turned a blind eye to Xie Busheng's crimes, downplayed them, and privately notified the Ruijin County Judicial Department to release Xie Busheng.
The indignant He Shuheng directly found ***, who was the secretary of the Ruijin County Party Committee at the time
After listening to He Shuheng's report, ** was furious and took the case: "If such a ** corrupt element is not dealt with, how can I explain it to the people?" ”
**On the same day, I met with the temporary **chairman*** to report the situation to ***, and clarified his attitude - "Punish severely, kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!" ”
**Affirmed ***'s opinion on the spot, and he said the following with emotion:
If corruption is not eliminated, the Communist Party will lose its prestige and popular support, and the Soviet banner will not be able to be beaten! ”
Fighting against corruption is the duty of our communists, and no one can stop it! ”
On May 5, 1932, the Ruijin County Soviet Judicial Department held a public trial verdict on Xie Busheng and sentenced Xie Busheng to death.
Xie Busheng was not satisfied with the verdict and appealed to the Provisional Supreme Court of the Chinese Soviet Republic.
On May 9, 1932, the Provisional Supreme Court of the Chinese Soviet Republic heard the case, categorically rejected Xie Busheng's appeal, and upheld the original verdict.
In the afternoon of the same day, "Shouhu" Xie Busheng was executed.
The name Xie Busheng has since been recorded in history.
On December 15, 1932, Instruction No. 26 on the Punishment of Waste was issued.
This is the first anti-corruption decree issued by the Communist Party of China since its founding.
Since then, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has embarked on an institutionalized anti-corruption campaign.
In 1933, Tang Daren, the chief of the accounting section of the Ruijin County Ministry of Finance, was executed, and Yang Shizhu, chairman of the Ruijin County Soviet, was warned and punished;
In 1934, colluding with reactionaries, stealing official seals, **246Zuo Xiangyun, director of the General Affairs Department of 7 yuan, was executed;
Soon after, the corruption nest case of the Yudu County Party Committee and County was exposed by the masses, and after review and investigation, four ** with a huge amount of corruption were executed in accordance with the law;
In 1941, Xiao Yubi, deputy director of the ** Bureau of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, was executed.
Xiao Yubi is an old Red Army, he has made great achievements in battle, received numerous meritorious service awards, and has more than 80 gunshot wounds on his body.
However, Xiao Yubi ignored the anti-corruption regulations of the border area and regarded himself as a hero everywhere.
He used his power to accumulate more than 3,000 pieces of the ocean, and what was worse was that in order to seek benefits, Xiao Yubi actually sold the grain and oil that was in short supply in the base area to the Kuomintang troops.
After the case, Xiao Yubi was sentenced to death in accordance with the law.
Xiao Yubi was not satisfied with the verdict and wrote directly to ***, asking for the hope that *** would "raise his noble hand" for the sake of his past military exploits.
**Didn't reply to Xiao Yubi.
He told the case-handling staff: "The system is a red line, no one can touch it, and I fully respect the verdict, and this is my attitude." ”
A few days later, Xiao Yubi was escorted to the execution ground to be executed.
Jiefang** immediately reported on Xiao Yubi**'s case and commented:
Xiao Yubi was sentenced to death because of ......On the ground of 'clean politics', there is no 'Xiao Yubi'-style weed to grow! If you have it, unplug it! ”
It is said that this review was personally revised and reviewed by ***.
On the eve of liberation, he issued a far-sighted warning to the whole party
There may be Communists who have never been conquered by enemies with guns, and who deserve the title of heroes before these enemies; But they can't stand the attack of sugar-coated shells, and they have to lose the battle in front of sugar bombs. We must prevent this. ”
We must ensure that comrades continue to maintain a modest, cautious, not arrogant, and not rash style of work, and that comrades continue to maintain a style of arduous struggle. ”
Two years later, the huge corruption case of ** Shan and Zhang Zishan broke out, which immediately shocked the whole country and the whole party.
Looking at the case report submitted by the North China Bureau of the Communist Party of China, ** was heartbroken and silent for a long time.
**Ask for advice***.
**After thinking for a long time, he said two cold words: "Death penalty." ”
** Question: "Now many leading comrades have come forward to intercede for them. ”
Without hesitation, say, "No!" ”
When these two words were spoken, the expression was solemn and categorical.
In February 1952, ** Shan and Zhang Zishan were tied up and executed at the execution ground.
The handling of ** Shan and Zhang Zishan not only educated the whole party and enhanced the consciousness of the whole party in resisting corruption and preventing degeneration, but also brought a clean and upright atmosphere in the coming decades.
Li Kecai, the former deputy commissioner of the Tianjin Administration, later said: "I killed two people and managed them for decades!" ”
** Later, he said to the party's senior cadres in a serious manner: "We have no choice but to kill a few meritorious people."
I suggest re-reading the "General Guide to Governance". To govern the country is to govern the officials. Courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, the four dimensions of the country. The four dimensions are not open, and the country is not a country. ”
** also said such a big vernacular:
Whoever wants to engage in corruption, I will cut off someone's head. If I engage in corruption, the people will cut off my *** head! ”
The stars are moving, and time and space are crossed.
Today, we are getting closer and closer to realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the Communist Party of China still has a long way to go.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) is continuing to carry out anti-corruption and clean government campaigns to convey such a firm belief to the Chinese people with actions:
There is no room for corruption in your life! The Communist Party of China will never tolerate corruption!
