From the establishment of the first Communist Party group in 1921 to the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, in the course of several decades of revolutionary career, the revolutionary forces led by the Communist Party of China have endured several heavy blows and many setbacks.
Some of the injuries on these revolutionary roads came from the rampant attacks of external hostile forces, while others came from the erroneous policies of the comrades in the Party, and some even some of them almost brought ruin to the Chinese revolution.
However, at the crucial moment, there are always some revolutionary comrades who stand up and turn the tide, so that the Chinese revolution can forge ahead in a tortuous and winding way, continue to grow and grow, and finally win a comprehensive victory.
At these turning points in history, the Zunyi Conference was undoubtedly the most important one, in which comrade Mao Zedong's leadership was redefined and the correct direction was pointed out for the development of the Chinese revolution.
Comrade Mao Zedong was able to be confirmed as the leader of the Central Committee at this meeting without the vigorous help of comrades Luo Fu and Wang Jiaxiang, and it was precisely their broad mind that enabled the Chinese revolution to break through the haze and return to the right path.
Zunyi Meeting
<h1>It was the persistence of the two men that brought Mao Back to the Central Committee</h1>
It can be said that Wang Jiaxiang and Zhang Wentian (Luo Fu) played a very important role in the history of the Chinese revolution. Although in the later stages of their revolutionary careers, neither of them was in charge of the main work of the Central Committee, they were still worthy of being the main founders of China's liberation cause.
In 1934, because Bogu and Li De promoted left-leaning adventurism in the Central Soviet Region, they constantly demanded that the Red Army and the Kuomintang army engage in position warfare and keep the enemy out of the country. Comrade Mao Zedong's guerrilla warfare was regarded as cowardly and cowardly escapism, and Mao Zedong was expelled from the Central Military Commission.
As a result, under the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, the Central Red Army suffered great losses. In particular, in the fifth encirclement and suppression campaign of the Kuomintang, the Central Red Army was forced to carry out a strategic shift because of its excessive losses, which is what we later known as the twenty-five thousand mile long march.
In the early days of the Long March, although the Central Red Army broke through the four blockade lines of the Kuomintang, in the Battle of xiangjiang, because of the erroneous military command policy of the Red Army leadership, the Red Army was sharply reduced from more than 80,000 people at the beginning to 30,000 people, which greatly depleted the backbone of the Chinese revolution, and the main responsible persons for these mistakes were Bogu and Li De.
Bogu
After the Battle of the Xiangjiang River, the officers and men at the upper and lower levels of the Red Army were extremely dissatisfied with the two men, which also had a very bad impact on the future development of the Red Army. But in the process, because Mao Zedong had been excluded from the Central Military Commission, although he saw the seriousness of the problem, he had no choice but to lose his right to speak and had no opportunity to make corrections.
At this critical moment, Wang Jiaxiang and Zhang Wentian, who worked in the Central Military Commission, also had serious doubts about Bogu and Li De's command ability. In order to preserve the seeds of the Chinese revolution, at the end of 1934, Wang Jiaxiang and Zhang Wentian had a conversation on the development direction of the Chinese Red Army, and they believed that Mao Zedong's method of warfare was the correct model that was most suitable for China's basic national conditions.
Thus, in January 1935, they contacted several key leaders of the Red Army for a meeting in Zunyi. At the meeting, Wang Jiaxiang and Luo Fu criticized Li De and Bogu's mistakes.
At the same time, at the meeting, he also proposed that Comrade Mao Zedong rejoin the Central Military Commission, and cast a crucial vote in the voting process of the meeting, and it was precisely because of the support of Wang Jiaxiang and Zhang Wentian that Mao Zedong once again entered the Central Military Commission at this Zunyi meeting and grasped the command of the army, thus enabling the Central Red Army to once again move from decay to glory.
Finally arrived in Yan'an, shattering the enemy's dream of wiping out the Red Army on the Long March. It can be said that without Wang Jiaxiang and Zhang Wentian there would have been no Zunyi Conference, and without the Zunyi Conference there would be no brilliant future for the Chinese revolution. Therefore, Wang Jiaxiang and Zhang Wentian are worthy of the chinese revolution's efforts to turn the tide.
Wang Jiaxiang
<h1>In the dispute over the difference of ideas, Mao Zedong was gradually recognized</h1>
Wang Jiaxiang, a native of Jing County, Anhui Province, was born in 1906, and in his early years, because he was not accustomed to the darkness of society, he always looked for ways to improve society, and eventually became a believer in communism.
In 1930, when he returned from his studies in the Soviet Union, Wang Ming was in power at the central government of the Communist Party of China, so he was quickly reused as chairman of the party newspaper committee.
And because he received a formal communist education in the Soviet Union, he considered himself a true Bolshevik, ignored the actual situation at home, vigorously promoted the struggle model of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, became a representative of dogmatism, and looked down on Mao Zedong and their indigenous Marxism.
Although there were differences in ideology and concept, Wang Jiaxiang was very humble in his work attitude, and he never felt that because he had been formally trained by Marxism-Leninism, he was superior to the revolutionary comrades in China. Although he respected the Comintern, he did not blindly follow their command and was good at finding the truth in practice.
In 1931, Wang Jiaxiang was assigned to work in the Central Soviet Region, and although in the process of his work, he did not fully recognize the idea of Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics, but he had considerable respect for Mao Zedong's military command ability.
Under the leadership of Mao Zedong, the Central Red Army broke the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang reactionaries several times. In the later period, due to the influence of the Comintern, Bogu and Li De, who had returned from the Soviet Union, began to gain power in the Central Red Army.
Since then, the anti-encirclement and suppression operation has been a complete failure, and the Red Army troops have suffered serious losses. This made Wang Jiaxiang seriously suspicious of Bogu and Li De, and psychologically, he preferred comrade Mao Zedong's command model, believing that only under Mao Zedong's leadership could the Chinese Red Army forge a correct path.
Born in 1900 in Nanhui, Jiangsu Province, Zhang Wentian was one of the pioneers in propagating Marxism-Leninism when the May Fourth Movement broke out. Like Wang Jiaxiang, Zhang Wentian pursued progressive ideas in his youth and studied in Japan and the United States.
In 1925, he joined the Communist Party of China and was sent to study in the Soviet Union. When he was at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, he was a classmate of Bogu, the main leader of the later Central Red Army, and had a very close relationship.
Zhang Wentian
In 1931, Zhang Wentian returned to China, and on the recommendation of Bogu, who had become the main person in charge of our party, he served as the head of the Central Propaganda Department. In the beginning, because they were educated together in the Soviet Union, Zhang Wentian and Bogu were very much in agreement in many political views, and promoted "Left" adventurism, which caused some harm to the Chinese revolution.
Later, Zhang Wentian accompanied Bogu to the Soviet zone, especially after Bogu grasped the command of the Red Army, and after repeated defeats in the struggle against the enemy, Zhang Wentian had serious doubts about the doctrines he had adhered to in the past. At the same time, his personal relationship with Bogu has also deteriorated, and he has even quarreled several times in public.
After the Battle of Guangchang, Zhang Wentian was marginalized by Bogu and moved to Shapingba in Ruijin, where the people who worked there were comrades Mao Zedong, who had long been expelled from the central government.
Because of the close distance, the two people also exchanged more, and during the conversation, Zhang Wentian gradually developed a good feeling for Mao Zedong, and expressed his approval of many of Mao Zedong's views on the Chinese revolution, and even when Mao Zedong was ill, he personally arranged for doctor treatment.
Therefore, at the Zunyi Conference, Wang Jiaxiang and Zhang Wentian, two leaders who held an important position in the central authorities, unanimously supported Mao Zedong, and it was precisely under their insistence that Comrade Mao Zedong regained control of the military command of the Red Army and pointed out the correct direction for the future of the Chinese revolution.
Chairman Mao
<h1>He is preoccupied with the revolution and does not care about his honorary status</h1>
After the Zunyi Conference, Zhang Wentian and Wang Jiaxiang did not take pride in pulling Mao Zedong back to the central leadership position, they judged the hour and sized up the situation, and after helping to stabilize the Red Army, they gradually faded out of the central core leadership.
After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, Wang Jiaxiang was sent to the Soviet Union for recuperation because of his injuries, and after recovering and returning to China, he just in time for the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japan, during which he served as vice chairman of the Central Military Commission and concurrently served as director of the General Political Department of the Eighth Route Army.
In 1944, because of his injuries, Wang Jiaxiang was again arranged to recuperate in the Soviet Union. In the Liberation War, Wang Jiaxiang was mainly responsible for the northeast battlefield, acting as the propaganda minister at that time, and made great contributions to the construction of northeast China.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Jiaxiang mainly engaged in diplomatic work and served as an ambassador to the Soviet Union, making great contributions to the friendly development of Sino-Soviet relations, and in 1974, this revolutionary pioneer who worked hard for the Chinese revolution all his life passed away in Beijing.
After the victorious arrival of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, Zhang Wentian also retired from the leadership position of the Central Military Commission and engaged in the propaganda and theoretical work he was best at. Since then, Zhang Wentian has been in charge of the party's propaganda work, and at the same time he is also the main person in charge of the weekly magazine "Liberation", leaving a strong mark in China's propaganda and education cause.
His main contributions were in theoretical research, and he served as the dean of the Yan'an Marxist-Leninist Institute, and he was quite successful in the theoretical research of Marxism-Leninism.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhang Wentian was assigned to work in the northeast, became the secretary of the provincial party committee at that time, and concurrently served as the organization director of the northeast bureau, and under his efforts, the northeast soon became the supply base of the Chinese revolution, which effectively supported the liberation cause of the whole country.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, because of his study experience in the Soviet Union, Zhang Wentian also transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as an ambassador to the Soviet Union. In 1976, Zhang Wentian died of illness in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province.
The final success of the Chinese revolution was not only achieved by countless soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed on the battlefield, but also by the revolutionary pioneers who were open-minded and did not seek personal interests in times of revolutionary crisis.
They are not for fame and fortune, but at the most critical moment in history, they can be far-sighted and achieve a bright future for the Chinese nation with their loyalty to the revolution.
