How to fight ***Steady and ruthless!
In the early days of liberation, there were more than 300 kinds of reactionary sects, about 820,000 Taoist leaders and backbone elements, and about 13 million Taoists, accounting for 2 percent of the country's total population at that time9%。
Among them, underworld forces such as the Green Gang, the Consistent Dao, the Congenital Dao, the Jiugong Dao, the Tongshan Society, the Tiande Holy Sect, the Sage Dao, and the Guigen Dao are particularly rampant, infiltrating all corners of society.
The power of these sects is huge, and many warlords and politicians such as Wu Peifu, Zhang Zongchang, Yuan Kewen, Chen Tiaoyuan, Zhang Zhijiang, etc., are all elders of the Green Gang. Even in Shanghai, 20 percent of workers have joined gangs, and 90 percent of rickshaw drivers have joined green gangs.
In addition, the influence of the Green Gang is also very common in Xi'an, with nearly 1,000 people accepting disciples and 40 or 50 people accepting more than 100 disciples. It can be said that "the three religions and the nine streams are all-encompassing, and all the staff members in the middle of the country, the middle and lower cadres of the military, the merchants, the workers, and even the ruffians and prostitutes are all members of the association to participate in its activities."
The power of these sects is enough to make people feel frightened.
Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin, and ** Rong, the three gang leaders, not only control illegal industries such as pornography, gambling and drugs, but also infiltrate the grassroots of the city, loot the people's hard-earned money, create rumors to cause social chaos, and even launch ** incidents.
They use all kinds of means to damage the reputation of the country, hinder the normal functioning of the country, and directly threaten the stability of the regime. In Fujian Province alone, during 1950 there were 19 reactionary Taoist incidents and 6 attempted incidents, involving more than 7,600 members.
In this **, dozens of party and government cadres, PLA soldiers and civilians were unfortunately killed or injured. These ** incidents have brought great harm to the country and the people, and also warn us to resolutely crack down on underworld forces and maintain social harmony and stability.
Eliminating the Cancer of the Millennium and Establishing a New Social and Political Ecology -- A Historical Reference for the Suppression of the Reactionary Society. The reactionary sect consisted not only of bandits and spies, but also of the ignorant masses.
Emphasizing that the suppression of reactionary gangs should be "fought steadily, accurately, and ruthlessly", in two years, it successfully suppressed the forces of the underworld and evil gangs in the late Qing Dynasty and the important position of grassroots governance, eliminated the thousand-year-old cancer of "smoking, gambling, drugs, and prostitution", and provided a historical reference for the current anti-gang and evil eradication.
At the mass trial meeting, the crimes of the counter-revolutionaries were exposed. In the next two phases, our priorities will be different. In the first phase, from October 1951 to October 1952, our main task was a nationwide internal purge aimed at purging counter-revolutionaries from within the regime.
At the same time, in the newly liberated areas, our main goal is to crack down on the reactionary "Huidaomen" leaders, and at the same time, we must also eliminate spies, bandits, bullies, and the backbone of reactionary party groups.
In the second stage, from October 1952 to October 1953, our main task was to completely ban the reactionary "huidaomen" in order to eliminate the counter-revolutionary forces.
In general, our goal is the same, that is, to expose and eliminate the forces of counter-revolutionaries and to maintain the stability and security of the country.
In the early 50s of the last century, the masses exposed the sins of the consistent Tao 2On February 21, 1951, Article 8 of the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Punishment of Counter-Revolution stipulated: "Those who use feudal associations to carry out counter-revolutionary activities shall be sentenced to death or life imprisonment; Those who commit less serious cases shall be sentenced to imprisonment of not less than three years. ”
The reactionary nature of the Huidaomen was pointed out, and special provisions were made for the feudal Huidaomen to be given the role of suppressive sanctions. The leaders of the reactionary gangs belong to the counter-revolutionaries, and for the masses who are coerced by the gangs, they believe that some of the masses "have no scientific knowledge" and pin their hopes on superstition during the famine.
Three measures were taken to eradicate the regenerative soil of the gangs. In society, we should eradicate the basis for the survival of the gangs of cigarettes, gambling, drugs, and prostitution, and severely punish those who violate the law. By the end of 1952, the opium plague that had plagued the country and the people in modern times had been eradicated.
In industrial and mining enterprises, the feudal system of chiefs has been abolished, and the measures of "giving priority to work for relief, supplemented by self-help through production, training for demobilization, returning to the hometown for production, and the payment of relief funds" have been adopted to solve the employment problem of unemployed vagrants.
**Instructions: "Several batches of bandit leaders, habitual bandits, bullies, and important spies and leaders of the sect who have evidence should be killed." Beginning on December 19, 1950, Beijing arrested 381 reactionary Taoist leaders, shot 42 reactionary Taoist leaders, registered 720 dianchuan teachers, 4,775 altar masters, and 663 "three talents", and within two months, 178074 people declared their withdrawal, and also closed 1,283 large and small altars.
This is a resolute blow to the reactionaries.
20,553 consistent Taoist followers announced their withdrawal in Chengdu, and the public security organs successfully arrested 303 reactionary Taoist leaders. Nationwide, reactionary sect leaders and gang leaders were executed, and 9,010 people were arrested in Shanghai's April 27 mass arrest.
It is emphasized that people who "have serious reactionary behavior or serious bad deeds" in the military system should be cleaned up, and party members among them will be investigated. In the investigation of the "Yanbei Prefectural Committee" in Chahar, 500 of the 900 party members participated in the reactionary sect, and 100 of them preferred to ** rather than quit the reactionary sect.
On December 25, 1950, Yuan Wen, the culprit of Jinmen, was executed in accordance with the law. The Hubei Public Security Department reported that 160 people had been arrested in provincial-level organs, including bandits, ruffians, thieves, reactionary parties, and huimen, of whom 22 percent were provincial, 74 percent were provincial governments, 3 percent were Central Plains University, and 1 percent were military districts.
Among the personnel retained by the organs directly under the Southwest Military and Political Commission and the new intellectuals, 350 people were cleared out. From the end of 1950 to May 1951, 100,000 congregations in northwest China, 100,000 in Shandong, 100,000 in Chahar, 30,000 in northern Anhui, more than 20,000 in northern Jiangsu, and more than 160,000 in Tianjin.
We resolutely oppose any form of cult activities and safeguard social stability and people's security.
China has a long history and culture that contains a variety of traditional cultures and beliefs. In the past, Huidaomen was an important part of traditional Chinese culture and beliefs, but by 1956, this centuries-old belief system had been completely erased from Chinese mainland.
