Chapter 15 The expansion of the Red Brigade

"This secret chess is called Red Brigade! It is the banner of the European Red Revolution, and it is taking the radical anti-imperialist and anti-feudal route! Yu Xun, Jiansheng, what do you think?"

Chang Ruiqing finally decided to put the secret chess of the Red Brigade in front of Wu Shi and Bai Chongxi, and he stared at them with bright eyes.

Bai Chongxi remained silent, as if he had no interest in red or white. Wu Shi seemed to have heard of the European Red Revolution. A pair of eyes widened behind the glasses, staring at Chang Ruiqing steadily.

"Brother Yaoru, what do you want to do?" Wu Shi said word by word.

Chang Ruiqing smiled coldly: "Of course it's a revolution! Is it really going to be the same as their Beiyang? It's impossible to deal with a mere declaration of war. Duan Qirui's center has no army, but he still wants to use the army-held supervisory army to suppress Li Yuanhong and the Congress. But who is Zhang Xun, the leader of the army-held supervisor,? His braid has not been cut yet! He is a loyal and filial son of the Qing Dynasty! He has a chance to participate in the war and save the country. If they continue like this, it will probably turn into a farce! I have seen it thoroughly now. Beiyang is out of salvation. The Beiyang warlords don't even consider their own Beiyang system. They only know how to grab money and territory, and have troops to engage in separatism. The country finally has some hope, and they will be troubled by them! You guys, can we expect them to save the country and the people?"

As soon as Chang Ruiqing said this, Wu Shi shook his head slightly and murmured: "Since Beiyang cannot do it, why bother to join Mr. Sun, why do you have to do the Red Revolution?"

Chang Ruiqing smiled and said, "The Chinese revolution cannot be achieved by Mr. Sun and the Kuomintang family. Their propositions are relatively gentle. The great powers are not afraid! China's internal and external troubles are closely linked. Now the Beiyang warlords have their own selfishness, but the more important reason is that the imperialist oppression on China has caused the extreme weakness of the central government! Such a weak central government is what the great powers expect, and neither the Beiyang or the Kuomintang, there is no way for the great powers. Therefore, we must set up this Red Brigade to do the right thing with the great powers! We do this to cooperate with Mr. Sun's revolution!"

After hearing this theory, Wu Shi's mind quickly followed Chang Ruiqing's thoughts. In this era, the cannon sound of the Russian October Revolution had not yet arrived, and of course the Third International was not established. The Russian Bolsheviks were also a member of the Second International. The so-called Red Revolution was just a series of violent revolutionary activities carried out by radical European socialists, such as assassinating the leaders of European reactionary forces, launching riots or uprisings, etc. Wu Shi had a little understanding of this aspect.

Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People actually borrowed the theory of European Socialists. Sun Wen himself even translated a GCD Manifesto! Therefore, Sun Wen and the Kuomintang can also be regarded as relatively moderate socialists, and the future of China will of course be radical Bolsheviks! The ideology of these two is actually quite similar. There may be such reasons for the "national cooperation" in history.

"That is to use violent activities to oppose imperialism? Will it cause such a thing as the Gengzi Kingdom?" Wu Shi slowly expressed his concerns.

"No! Because the rebellion of the Gengzi Kingdom was caused by the rioters and the imperial court, the great powers could find opponents. Our Red Brigade was completely underground, including the Beiyang government, the Kuomintang, and even ourselves, on the surface, would oppose such xenophobic activities." Chang Ruiqing shrugged, "A violent anti-imperialist activity is ultimately the result of imperialism oppressing us too much, so that the governments who want to have a good relationship with the great powers are unable to suppress it. All the great powers can do is probably only the agents who support them, but are they willing to give up those benefits?"

"Then what you said just now is about fishing for troubled waters? Are you going to take advantage of the chaos to rob foreigners?"

Chang Ruiqing waved his hand and squeezed out some words from the cracks of his teeth: "Our Red Brigade, in addition to anti-imperialism, also has to fight against feudalism! The Qing Dynasty fell, but the lives of those old and young emperors and the young emperor in the Forbidden City have not been removed yet! Moreover, the old and young men do not know how to be settled and have never stopped their minds of restoration. They also have acquainted with imperialism and some Beiyang warlords, trying to realize their dream of restoration by selling national interests and buying warlords. Zhang Xun

It is theirs. The governor now regards Zhang Xun as the leader. I think this Zhang Bianshuai will be on the show of restoration sooner or later. At that time, we will make the city of Beijing chaos! Take the opportunity to take down their heads!" As he said that, he stretched out his right hand, made a fist pose, and then looked at the people in front of him with deep eyes, "When the time comes, you can make a big move and make a lot of publicity. Once we have money, the reputation of the Red Brigade will also be gained. It can be said that he has both fame and fortune. How about it, do you dare to do it?"

Chang Ruiqing's tone was cold and solemn, but when Wu Shi, Bai Chongxi, Wang Junhao and Zhao Zhen heard it, his heart was surging and his whole body was full of heat.

This is the spirit of doing great things! The Qing Dynasty ruled China for more than 200 years. In addition to leaving behind a large number of unequal treaties, what left for 40 million Han people? But the Republic of China government still has to allocate 4 million silver every year from the extremely difficult finances to support these traitors! Yes, it is the traitors who are taking the people's wealth and ointment of the Republic of China, but are doing things to subvert the Republic of China. Such traitors will not be able to redeem their sins even if they die ten thousand times. Shouldn't they be repealed now and the silver that originally belonged to the 450 million working people? Well, how can they be regained a few million taels of silver? With such a large amount of revolutionary funds and elite soldiers like the Model Camp, the future situation is unimaginable!

Wu Shi, Bai Chongxi, Wang Junhao, and Zhao Zhen all nodded silently and said in unison: "Dare! We'll do that!"

Chang Ruiqing nodded heavily: "Okay! Then let our Red Brigade rise in this Beijing storm!" As he said that, he glanced at a few more people: "But there is one thing I want to explain to you, the existence of the Red Brigade must be absolutely confidential! Our power is weak. If the Beiyang government or foreign devils know the relationship between the Red Brigade and the Iron Blood Comrade Association, we may all die without a place to die!"

"We know this!" Several people nodded one after another. Chang Ruiqing smiled and said, "Since we want to keep it confidential, there should not be too many comrades involved in the work of this Red Brigade, otherwise there will be no way to keep it confidential. The leadership of the Red Brigade is composed of five of us, and all five of us must use fake names and have code names. My code name is Comrade No. 1, pseudonym Zuomin, Zizang and Youlin, and the pseudonym is Wang Liuhe Zhenhua, Wu Yuxun and Bai Jiansheng's code name is Comrade No. 4 and Comrade No. 5. You can give one of the pseudonym yourself."

After a moment of thought, Wu Shi and Bai Chongxi gave themselves two pseudonyms "Stone Man" and "Mu Ming". Chang Ruiqing continued to say: "The five comrades in our Red Brigade leadership must have division of labor, responsible for organization, intelligence, logistics, action and general responsibility respectively. My suggestion is that Wang Zisheng is responsible for the organization, Zhao Youlin is responsible for the publicity, Wu Yuxun (Wu Shi) is responsible for the operation, and Brother Jiansheng is responsible for the planning. What do you think?" As for the person in charge, Chang Ruiqing did not say it, but others also know who the position belongs to.

Of course, everyone had no objection to this. Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly and said, "The only five of us overlap with the organization of the Red Brigade and the Comrades Association is that we must separate completely! All comrades who participate in the Red Brigade work are not allowed to be members of the Comrades Association! In the future, the Red Brigade will be separated from the armed forces we control and become a secret force controlled by the five of us! However, we do not have so many people available at present, so we can only recruit reliable soldiers from the team to join the Red Brigade! The initial plan is to recruit 30 people, and the five of us will be responsible for recruiting six people... Be sure to be loyal and reliable. Also, don't tell them what Red Brigade you are joining now, just say that we are secretly recruiting operation personnel for the Intelligence Department of the Army."
