On March 20, 1917, at the secluded back gate of the 31st Mixed Brigade Headquarters in Fengtai County, a brand-new American-made Ford Model T stopped at the back door. This is the car issued to Chang Ruiqing by the War Department, but now it is Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao and Huang Baopei who have stepped down from this car. Wu Shi was already smiling at the door.

Huang Baopei smiled and introduced: "This is Deputy Brigade Commander Wu, the No. 2 comrade of the Red Brigade, Shiren, who led people to break into the Shenwu Gate that day -- these two are professors Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao of Peking University, and they are also scholars who have studied socialism quite a lot. ”

Wu Shi smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Li, I have admired the name for a long time, and the brigade commander has been waiting for the two of you inside for more than a long time. ”

Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao greeted Wu Shi with a smile and didn't say much. After this period of research, they have a deeper understanding of redism, but they still have reservations about what the Red Brigade is doing, and they always feel that the other side is not taking the right path of redism, but they do not know what the problem is.

Wu Shi led the way in front and led a few people to the small reception room outside Chang Ruiqing's office, where Meng Li was smoking a cigar and puffing out white smoke very contentedly. He has now gained Chang Ruiqing's trust, and gradually replaced Wu Shi to take over the action team of the Red Brigade, which seems to have some meaning of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing a few people coming in, Meng Li stood up with a smile, took out a cigar from his pocket and handed it to everyone: "Come on, come on, while the brigade commander hasn't come over, smoke a cigarette first, he won't let him smoke when he comes." ”

Chen Duxiu took the cigar and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "The price of the best Cuban cigars here in Beijing is not cheap!" Meng Li smiled indifferently: "Let's don't do revolution with our heads on the belt of our trousers, of course we have to spend the money quickly, is it possible that we still have cubs?" ”

Wu Shi refused with a smile, he and Chang Ruiqing did not smoke, which was also a habit developed in military school life for many years...... In the army primary schools and army middle schools in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, cigarettes were not distributed as supplies. Li Dazhao and Huang Baopei each lit a cigar and sat on the sofa to enjoy it. Meng Li put away the cigar box, spit out another puff of smoke, pointed at Wu Shi and said with a smile: "Brother Yu Xun doesn't smoke, drink, or gamble, let alone mess with flowers and grass, and he is a revolutionary saint." ”

Wu Shi smiled and waved his hand: "Where do I dare to call a revolutionary saint, it is difficult to say whether I can be regarded as a real revolutionary." ”

While they were talking and laughing, they saw Chang Ruiqing striding in from the outside, explaining something to Zhao Zhen beside him as he walked. Needless to say, it must have something to do with sending troops to Mongolia. In the past few days, Chang Ruiqing has been busy with two things in Beijing, one is to make every effort to promote the dispatch of troops to Mongolia; The second is to sort out the spy system within his own system, including the two major systems of the Red Brigade and the Intelligence Department of the 31 st Mixed Brigade, which must be sorted out more like a secret organization -- Chang Ruiqing has no experience in this regard, so he has no choice but to cross the river by feeling the stones and sum up his experience in practice.

At today's meeting, there is another important thing to discuss, which is to prepare for the establishment of China's GCD! Though...... The conditions were very immature, and even the early Chinese GC activists, including Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, did not figure out what real GC ism was, but Chang Ruiqing did not think that this would prevent the establishment of a GCD. Because in his opinion, no one will be able to really figure it out for another hundred years. In this case, why not put up the sign earlier, so that you can also contribute to the world revolution sooner (mainly to "help" the Russian revolution)!

"The Red Revolution in Russia has begun! Everyone said, is our China lagging too far behind? After Chang Ruiqing introduced the latest Russian Revolution, he directly led the topic to the issue of the establishment of GCD, he looked at everyone with blazing eyes, and there was a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Duxiu thought for a while, after all, he was the ancestor of the founding party in history, and soon understood what Chang Ruiqing meant: "Yaoru, do you think it's a little early?" The propaganda of socialist theory has just begun, there are not many people in society who sympathize with and support us, and there are no socialist groups in various places. ”

He was interested, took a big sip from the teacup on the table, and said eloquently: "Brother Shouchang and I have also discussed the question of establishing a GCD these days, and we always feel that we should contact socialists or GCists from all over the country to convene a national congress to determine the party's propositions and guiding ideology, elect the party's leading body, formulate the party's constitution, and preferably send someone to France to learn from the Socialist International. ”

Chang Ruiqing was noncommittal, just smiled, GC International was founded in March 1919 by the great mentor Lenin. It was only March 1917, two years before the opening of the GC International, and Chen Duxiu wanted to learn from foreign countries, of course, he had to send people to the Second International, that is, the Socialist International! He set his eyes on Li Dazhao: "Mr. Li, what do you mean?" Can we immediately put up the GCD or the Socialist Party sign in our current situation? ”

Li Dazhao frowned and shook his head: "Now the party is established...... How many people can attend? And there is a kidnapping of Pu Yi by the Red Brigade, I'm afraid that our GCD here in Beiyang can't be allowed to exist legally, right? If we don't set up a GCD, the goal is still smaller, and we can still use newspapers and magazines to propagate socialist theory, if we really hang up the GCD brand, I'm afraid that it will ......"

Chang Ruiqing was silent, just gently turned the teacup in his hand, as if he was thinking hard, and finally said categorically: "GCD must be listed as much as possible!" As for the party's line, propositions, party constitution, etc., it can be discussed slowly, and party members can be developed slowly...... We can first set up a China GCD Preparatory Committee, and several of you are members of the Preparatory Committee, and the chairmen and vice-chairmen of the Preparatory Committee will be Mr. Chen and Mr. Li. At the same time, we can also send people to France and Russia to inspect their practices, but they are only for investigation, and I do not advocate copying them, and the Chinese revolution should take into account China's national conditions, and the Russian and French sets can be used for reference, but they cannot be moved over as they are. In parallel with our investigations, we should also establish contacts with the Second International and the Russian Socialists, especially the Russian Socialists, who now have taken power in Russia, and with whom it would always be useful to establish friendship. As for the formal establishment of GCD, it can be a period of time, and then we will talk about it when the conditions are more mature. I wonder what the big guy thinks? ”

After Chang Ruiqing finished speaking, he just looked at Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao quietly, waiting for their decision. Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao glanced at each other, and Chen Duxiu frowned and said, "What about the Red Brigade?" Will the Red Brigade join? ”

"Not yet." Chang Ruiqing shook his head: "The Red Brigade is now a bit big, and it is not a good thing for the party to join immediately." He paused, and added: "The party's funds will naturally use Pu Yi's ransom burden, so you don't have to worry." However, after the GCD Preparatory Committee was established, I tried my best to set up a party-led Red Trade Union organization, which was also funded by the Red Brigade. In addition, I also hope that the two of them can develop a group of party members among the students of Peking University, and when my 31st Mixed Brigade has a firm foothold in Fujian, Fujian's civil service system will still use our party members! ”

A few more conditions were added, and Chang Ruiqing was already fully sure of convincing these two great gods. He just leaned back into the couch and looked up at the ceiling. Although it is only "in preparation", China's GCD is premature after all! But the route that this GCD is going to take is probably completely different from the one in history, right? After all, the money to support her did not come from Moscow......
