Chapter 61
"Wen Qing, don't explain it yet. Let's just talk about what to do. "You Yu is no longer interested in listening to that nonsense. She simply interrupted Lu Huitian's question. Many people in the People's Party like to be reasonable and reasonable when they encounter unexpected events. Where in the world is there so much truth to be said. Thinking of this, You Wei simply stood up, "Comrades, we have an organization and troops of such a scale today, and this is something that is done, not spoken. Rather than figuring out why the landlords are attacking us, it is better to get rid of the landlords who are plotting against us. What do you say? ”
Hearing this, some nodded yes, while others disagreed. "There is nothing more than a rational word in this world, and the revolution must also be reasonable." Qin Shou arrived in Anhui recently, nominally an engineer in the water conservancy department, but in fact he was just an idle errand. His speech represented a comrade who for the time being did not have military and political work, but was engaged in clerical work.
You Yu didn't support these people's attitude at all, "We have a meeting every time, which time we didn't do it according to Wen Qing's final opinion." The effect is here, too. Now the situation is so urgent, let's be reasonable, but the landlords don't talk about our reasoning. My opinion is to start doing what Wen Qing said now. After the matter is settled, I will slowly talk about this truth. ”
"You're undermining intra-party democracy!" Qin Shou's reaction was more intense.
"We talk about democracy, but the landlords don't talk about democracy. Intra-party democracy does not mean that irrelevant comrades should also have decision-making power. I think in such an emergency, someone has to be able to make a decision. This is what You Yu has always wanted to say. In the past, when the People's Party only had that ** party member, it mainly focused on doing things, and squeezed out time for lectures and discussions. At that time, You Yu was in charge of pharmaceuticals, and he simply sacrificed sleep for the meeting. As the BJP expanded, everyone had a job, but it was less efficient. Especially at the party meeting, Chen Ke had to communicate with his comrades for a long time every time. In such a critical moment, I don't want to deal with the enemy, but I have to devote my energy to convincing my comrades first. It is better not to engage in intra-party democracy in this way.
It's a pity that Huishen and Xingtai are not there. You Wei felt very sorry that Chen Tianhua was working in the north, and Qi Huishen was still in Shanghai to take charge of the work of the Shanghai party branch, if these two people were in Anhui, they would at least be able to suppress a considerable number of people by virtue of their prestige and connections.
"What do you think Comrade You Yu should do?" Qin Shou asked.
"I mean simply elect the Central Committee of Anhui and re-elect it every year. The work of all was subordinate to the command of the Central Committee. You Yu finally said his final thoughts.
Many people gasped, Qin Shou secretly glanced at You Wei, and then he also stood up. As a graduate of the Nanyang Naval Academy, this young man who once went north alone to work in Beijing in the year of Gengzi and once worked as a petty official in the household department of the capital actually hoped to establish a more efficient party organization. But the time never came. As a member of the Beijing Party Group and a southerner, Qin Shou did not reject the Shanghai Party Group, but on the contrary, shared the same views with You Wei and others on reforming the Party organization. Although it was not deliberate, he and You Wei sang and sang together, but they had a tacit understanding.
"If the Party Central Committee is formed, what should be the relationship between the Central Committee and the Party members? Intra-party democracy cannot be lost, and how to ensure democracy and ensure that there will be no procrastination in handling affairs. This has to be explained. "The People's Party has been able to maintain a certain degree of cohesion despite a hodgepodge, and this intra-party democracy has contributed a lot. Because everyone has the right to speak, there are many things that everyone may not be able to accept, but they are still negotiable. And once the Central Committee is elected, there is a distinction between high and low. Many people will definitely worry that their opinions may not be taken as seriously as they are now.
"Then let me ask a question, who owns the power of our People's Party." As a veteran party member, You Wei is very clear about the theory of the party and the theory of system building. This is all thanks to Chen Ke's adherence to the principle of organization, and the People's Party has not embarked on any crooked path from the beginning.
All party members had heard these contents in the party class, and as soon as You Yu asked, they immediately began to frown and ponder. Qin Shoulang said: "The power of the People's Party is vested in the Party organizations at all levels, and the Party organizations at all levels are elected according to a fair vote, and the principle of minority obeying the majority is adopted within the Party organizations at the same level, and the rule of subordinate subordinate to superior is implemented among Party organizations at different levels. Higher-level Party organizations have the obligation to provide explanations to lower-level Party organizations' questions. ”
After listening to Qin Shou's explanation, the comrades all remembered this organizational regulation put forward by the People's Party. At this stage, the People's Party does not have any central committee, and even before the people arrived in Anhui, there was not even a party branch. So this kind of organizational rule is only heard of. When everyone was worried about the possible attack of the landlord's armed forces, they didn't expect that these seemingly-for-tat disputes between You Wei and Qin Shou would actually be used to form a party organization. A lot of people didn't even understand what was going on.
"At present, the great enemy cannot order more than one door. We must elect the Party Central Committee and work together under the command of the Central Committee. Shang Yuan stood up and made a statement.
"That's right, in the past, it took days to discuss an issue before coming to a result. It's just not right now. Hua Xiongmao is very smart, he knows what You Yu means as soon as he hears it. Seeing that Shang Yuan had already expressed his attitude, he immediately stood up to express his support.
"I also support the election of the Party Central Committee. After killing the landlord, it is too late to discuss it in detail. He Zudao immediately followed.
The BJP and several important figures in the insurance group expressed their support, and others had little reason to oppose it. Somehow, the topic of the meeting changed from working in the countryside to how to elect.
However, now is also a good time, except for a few guard departments with less than ten party members who did not have time to attend the meeting, the comrades of the Anhui branch of the People's Party are basically there. As a result, an electoral provision was enacted. Since Anhui has assembled a majority of the People's Party members, in the electoral system, more than two-thirds of the official party members vote to form a final resolution. If more than three-quarters vote to approve it, it can even propose to amend the party constitution.
The meeting temporarily adopted two major intentions, the first of which was to establish the Central Committee of the People's Party. Party branches in other localities must obey the command of the Party Central Committee. The second is to prepare for the election of the Provisional Committee of the Party Central Committee for a six-month term. All of this will be voted on at the official meeting of all party members tomorrow.
This is where the meeting has to end. Although the matter of the landlords' armament is urgent, the entire military force of the People's Party's "Insurance Group" is now in the county seat. And it has been responsible for guarding the security of the county, especially the task of warehouse security. There are also various vigilance systems. Thanks to the benefits of group meetings, everyone knows these things, so I don't worry too much.
Since there was still a meeting in a few hours, Chen Ke announced that the meeting was adjourned, and the comrades went back to rest. Among the members of the Provisional Central Committee Secretaries Committee, Chen Ke will definitely be elected as the first secretary. There is not much suspense in this matter, and it is inconvenient for Chen Ke to leave some comrades for private discussion, and at this delicate juncture, everyone's actions will be regarded as selfishness even if they are not selfish. Chen Ke's hardcores, including You Wei and Hua Xiongmao, all went directly back to their residences. After thinking about it, He Zudao finally swallowed the small friction between Xiong Mingyang and the sentry back into his stomach. This could have been done after the committee had been elected.
On July 27, 1906, the plenary meeting of the Anhui branch of the People's Party was officially convened. At the meeting, the Central Committee of the People's Party was elected, and the Provisional Central Committee Secretariat Committee consisted of seven members. Chen Ke, Shang Yuan, Hua Xiongmao, You Wei, Qin Shou, Yuwen Badu, and Lu Huitian were elected as members of the Interim Secretaries Committee.
The Party Central Committee has three branches, the Hebei Party Branch, the Shanghai Party Branch, and the Anhui Party Branch. Chen Tianhua was appointed party secretary of the Hebei party branch in absentia, Qi Huishen was appointed secretary of the Shanghai party branch in absentia, and Qin Wuan was unexpectedly appointed secretary of the Anhui party branch. Because of the long-term contact and cooperation with the Anhui engineering team led by Yuwen Badu, and this group of people is already the backbone of the insurance group, Qin Wu'an was appointed as the secretary of the Anhui party branch and did not encounter any opposition.
After the establishment of the CPC Central Committee, the core groups of the three sets of party, government, and military bodies have a basic structure. Party organizations do not allow secretaries and members of the Central Committee to concurrently serve as leaders of Party organizations at all levels, but members of Party organizations can concurrently hold positions in government departments, and Shang Yuan concurrently serves as the top chief executive of the Anhui People's Government.
In accordance with the party's practice, Chen Ke concurrently served as chairman of the Military Committee in the capacity of first secretary, and there were seven members of the Military Committee, with Chen Ke, Hua Xiongmao, Xu Dian, Chai Qingguo, He Zudao, Yuwen Badu, and Kuroshima Renichiro holding the posts of the Military Committee.
This grass platform team specially set up a logistics committee, and Su Wuming and Mao Ping served as members of the logistics committee.
In addition, a very important department was also established, the full name of this department is the "People's Party Discipline Inspection Commission", which is later known as the "Discipline Inspection Commission". This department is the equivalent of the "Imperial Embassy". Chen Ke didn't want to let those "clear streams" control this important work at all, so he simply assigned it personally, and the government and the Military Commission provided manpower, Shang Yuan served as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the deputy secretary was Xu Dian, who graduated from law school.
The election looks simple, but when voting by raising hands again and again is really implemented, it is really boring. These comrades have been together for a long time and are familiar with each other. Moreover, after all, the People's Party has not been established for a long time, and its internal factions have not yet been fully formed. In addition to Chen Ke, two very influential figures in the party, Qi Huishen and Chen Tianhua, are in Shanghai and Hebei. If they were, there would probably be some struggle. Now that these two are gone, everyone has no intention of competing for authority. Since the beginning of the floods, all party members have been ordered to work on the front line, and everyone has to work in person anyway, and the difference between high and low status is not a key issue for the time being.
As soon as the party Central Committee decided, Chen Ke asked each department to hold a meeting to familiarize itself with the comrades of its own department and discuss the department's arrangements and programs. The Central Committee of Secretaries held their own internal meetings.
"This rural work must start immediately." Chen Ke said straight to the point. The efficiency of a seven-member meeting is very different from that of a plenary meeting. If it was a whole meeting, Chen Ke would have a mild look at all, and in the face of other members of the Central Committee, Chen Ke did not smile at all.
"Mr. Chen, oh, Comrade Chen Ke, I'm still worried about those landlords' ideas attacking us." Yuwen Badu hurriedly said. Since he had already said the news, he believed that Chen Ke would definitely not turn a blind eye to it.
"Comrade Yuwen," You Wei omitted Batu's first name and called him only by his last name, "the landlords are attacking us by inciting the people. We must now counter counter-revolutionary propaganda with revolutionary propaganda. ”
"Revolutionary propaganda?" Yuwenba was a little puzzled.
"The landlords just said to the people, we have grain, we are ready to hoard grain and make a fortune, and we will not care whether the people live or die. Therefore, we now have to confront them precisely with revolutionary propaganda. We've got food, that's right. But we simply don't have enough food for everyone to eat until next year. Therefore, in order to let everyone live, the landlords' land has to be taken out for everyone to cultivate together, grab the seeds and harvest together, and everyone will share the harvested food, so as to survive the disaster year! ”
