In the severe winter of 1914, Chen Qimei, who had fled overseas after the Battle of Ganning, arrived in Dalian from Japan. Under the care of the Kwantung Army, he entered Northeast China and began to launch military operations against Yuan.
Starting from Kuanchengzi, passengers going north have to transfer to the trains issued by the Russian Dongqing Railway Company. The Russian-style carriages are more spacious than the Japanese Manchurian Railway carriages. The water-coal-fired locomotives running on the Russian-style broad gauge risk
Clouds of white steam traveled through the vast snowfields.
The carriage was crowded with passengers wearing thick winter clothes, including Chinese, Russians and Japanese. Most of them were dressed as businessmen, and there were also some Russian officials who went to the customs to purchase supplies.
Sitting opposite Chen Qimei and others, Vyachevsky was wearing a Russian military uniform and a Circassian tall fur hat on his head. He was holding a handful of balalaika in his arms and singing a song.
In the melancholy song "In the Desolate Transbaikal Steppe", his fingers skillfully plucked the strings:... The tramp walked to the lakeside and began to drift on a fishing boat. He sang sadly alone, singing about the suffering of his motherland. He alone
Singing sadly, singing about the suffering of the motherland. The breeze is gently telling: Wandering man, even if you run away, it is in vain. The miserable man is no longer in pain. He has no one to rely on in the world. The miserable man
He is no longer in pain, he is helpless in this world...
Zhang Ximan, who can understand Russian, sat between Jiang Zhiqing and Dai Jitao and explained the content of the lyrics to them.
"This song is very much like it was written for us, the escaped exiles! However, we are not as desperate as they are!" Dai Jitao glanced at Vyachevsky. The liaison of the Russian Socialist Party seemed to still be intoxicated.
In his singing.
After Sun Wen fled to Japan in the Battle of Ganning, he summed up the lessons from the failure of the Kuomintang. With the help of Uchida Ryohei, Miyazaki Toten and others, he began to reorganize party affairs and reorganize the Chinese Revolutionary Party.
Sun Wen imitated the Jianghu Gang's membership form, requiring party members to swear absolute allegiance to him and affix their fingerprints to the oath. Because he opposed his personality worship and "rebellion", Huang Xing, Li Liejun, Li Genyuan, and Niu Yongjian
When the elders of the Democratic Party refused to join this feudal-like organization, Chen Qimei, Ju Zheng, Xu Chongzhi and others who supported Sun Wen finally took control of the party.
Since Yuan Shikai's rule in the Northeast was relatively weak, and the Sun Party's anti-Yuan activities in the Northeast were protected by the Kwantung Army, they turned the main force in instigating the domestic anti-Yuan struggle to the three northeastern provinces. Sun Wen sent Chen Qimei, Dai Jitao, and Jiang Zhiqing
In Dalian, which was controlled by Japan, they contacted Ning Wu, Liu Chunyi and others to establish the Dalian branch of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, preparing to launch an armed uprising against Yuan in the Northeast.
Heilongjiang Governor and Inspector-General Zhu Qinglan was the first civilian army governor-general of Sichuan during the Revolution of 1911. Although he won Yuan Shikai's trust, he did not follow orders. He had joined the Tongmenghui when he was in Japan, and he leaned toward the Democratic Party from the bottom of his heart.
Dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai's forcible dissolution of Congress.
Ning Wu had worked with Zhu Qinglan when he was in Fengtian and made a special trip to Qiqihar to instigate rebellion against Zhu. At this time, there were already rumors that Yuan Shikai would proclaim himself emperor. Zhu Qinglan told Ning Wu that if Yuan Shikai really proclaimed himself emperor, he would respond to Sun's call.
, to attack Yuan Huguo. Later, Ningwu rushed to Harbin and instigated Ba Ying'e, the commander of the Heilongjiang Cavalry Brigade, to raise troops. Ba Ying'e was a bannerman and was originally dissatisfied with Yuan's "Cao Cao behavior" of forcing the palace to clear his house.
, immediately expressed that he would obey Zhu Qinglan’s order.
After Ning Wu returned to Dalian, he successfully instigated Zhu Qinglan and Ba Ying'e's situation and made a detailed report to Sun Wen in Japan. Sun was very excited after receiving the report and immediately ordered Chen Qimei, who was in charge of the Dalian branch, to carry out military operations in the Northeast.
Chen Qimei sent Dai Jitao, Jiang Zhiqing, Ding Renjie, Wang Xianzhang and others to Qiqihar to assist Ning Wu in instigating an armed rebellion in Heilongjiang.
Zhang Ximan in Dalian got in touch with the Russian Socialist Party in Heilongjiang. The Russians decided to join forces with the Democratic Party in Heilongjiang and sent Captain Vyachevsky to Changchun to meet Jiang Zhiqing and his party and take charge of security work.
Jiang Zhiqing and Ding Renjie disguised themselves as Japanese and sat not far from them. Chiang's pseudonym was Ishida Yusuke. Chen Qimei thought the name Ishida Yusuke was very interesting, so he took the word "Kaishek" as Chiang's pseudonym. From this
After that, Jiang Zhiqing began to use the name Jieshi to start his activities in China.
Under the protection of the Russians, the group arrived in Harbin and stayed at the Masur Hotel, a Jewish-owned hotel on Prince Shirkov Street.
Later, Ning Wu, Chiang Kai-shek, and Ding Renjie took Mr. Sun's autographed letter to Qiqihar to meet Zhu Qinglan. Dai Jitao and Wang Xianzhang just went to Zhalantun to find Zhang Tingfu. In order to strengthen his control over Heilongjiang, Lin Shuo
In the system, Li Zhiliang, the former garrison envoy of southern Anhui, was transferred to serve as the governor of Hulun, and Zhang Tingpu, the former envoy of western Hubei town, was appointed as the reclamation envoy of Heilongjiang. The former Hubei Third Division was moved to the northeast and reorganized into the Second Heilongjiang Border Defense Division.
Zhang Tingfu has taken in many former members of the "Literary Society" of the New Army in Wuchang. Cai Jimin is still serving as his chief of staff. Among them, Wang Xianzhang has many former acquaintances and comrades.
However, the news returned was not optimistic. Zhu Qinglan was hesitant to wait and see. Ba Ying'e's headquarters was transferred from Hulan to Heihe and could not be contacted at all in the winter. Zhang Tingfu had completely sided with the reactionary Lin Shuo and lost his revolutionary faith.
.
There are always suspicious people appearing around Masur Hotel, making this place very unsafe.
Chiang Kai-shek made a decisive decision. After returning to Harbin, a group of people took a train overnight and sneaked to Dalian, getting rid of the tracking. The Democratic Party had no foundation in the Northeast. Wouldn't it be a joke to start a riot?
Zhalantun, where the Second Heilongjiang Border Defense Division is stationed, Cai Jimin, the chief of staff of the Second Division, was scrutinized by the Security Bureau.
"Write down all the details of your contact with Wang Xianzhang in the past few days!"
"Why? It's my personal freedom who I deal with. You have no right to interfere with my personal life!" Cai Jimin has an instinctive aversion to this kind of "Jinyiwei"-like organization within the Chinese Renaissance Party.
"The problem is not just your personal life. What on earth is Wang Xianzhang here for? You know very well that if it was just as simple as visiting friends, we wouldn't come to you. You are a senior cadre of the party and you should be very clear about the party's discipline.
If any behavior is discovered that endangers the party and the country, every party member has the responsibility and obligation to report it to the organization."
"This is a private matter between friends. I will explain it to the Provincial Party Committee!" Cai Jimin is a member of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee and a senior cadre of this level within the China Renaissance Party. There is really nothing the Security Bureau can do against him.
Zhang Tingfu had no choice but to invite him into his office.
"Brother Youxiang, although Marshal Lin treated us well at the beginning, we joined the Baath Party voluntarily and no one forced us. Now that we have become party members, we must obey the party's discipline!" Zhang Tingfu fell to Cai Jimin.
A cup of tea, "We were all passionate in the beginning. In order to overthrow the Manchu dictatorship, we risked beheading and resolutely organized a literary club in the New Army. What is our purpose? Isn't it to make the country rich and powerful?
Soldiers, for the prosperity of the Chinese nation!"
"But this control is a bit too broad. I have to report even when I see my friends?!"
"Is it okay? Since the 1911 Revolution, how many comrades have been corrupted, and you know what some of them are like now. They extort people's wealth, are arrogant and promiscuous, and are voluptuous all day long. They are even worse than the bureaucrats of the former Qing Dynasty.
They are getting worse and more unscrupulous! Is it okay to ignore such lawless people?!" Zhang Tingfu paused here and said, "Fuxing
It’s not like you don’t know how many party members the party has dealt with. You applauded when these corrupt elements were dealt with or even executed. Why can’t you figure it out when it’s your turn? You should go back and think about this first, or you can write
Issue a detailed report, and later write a self-criticism and accept processing within the party. Or... you just file a report and apply for **!"
Cai Jimin was eventually warned and punished by the party for this incident.
The Chinese Renaissance Party currently has approximately 1.2 million registered agricultural workers in the Heilongjiang and Hulunbuir Reclamation Areas, of which about 40% of the young adults receive military training during the off-farm season. The increasing number of militiamen provides sufficient preparation for the Heilongjiang Military Region.
The shortage of troops made Xu Shuzheng of the Army Ministry in Beijing deeply worried.
Little did he know that Lin Shuo didn't take him seriously at all.
