Nanchang Uprising From the lessons of the
failure of the Revolution, the Chinese Communist Party began to realize the
importance of independently mastering the revolutionary armed forces. On August
1, 1927, Zhou Enlai, He Long, Ye Ting, Zhu De and Liu Bo Cheng led the
revolutionary army to launch an armed uprising in Nanchang and occupied the
city. The uprising forces then withdrew from Nanchang as planned and went south
to Guangdong to establish a base there, but were blocked by the enemy on the
way and suffered serious losses. Zhu De and Chen Yi led some of the ranks of
the Nanchang Uprising to fight in southern Hunan and persist in the struggle.
The Nanchang Uprising fired the first shot of armed resistance against the reactionary
rule of the Kuomintang. The Autumn Harvest Uprising
and the Jinggang Mountain rendezvous On August 7, the Central
Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held an emergency meeting in
Hankow, known as the "August 7 Meeting", which adopted the general
policy of the Agrarian Revolution and armed resistance against the reactionary
rule of the Kuomintang and decided to launch an armed uprising in the autumn
harvest. At the conference, Mao Zedong made the famous assertion that
"power is obtained from the barrel of a gun". After the 87th meeting, Mao
returned to Hunan to lead the Autumn Harvest Uprising, which was held in
September 1927 at the Xiang-Gan border under the banner of "Workers' and
Peasants' Revolutionary Army". The uprising started smoothly, capturing
some counties, but due to the strength of the enemy in the city, the uprising
army suffered serious setbacks. In October 1927, Mao Zedong led the uprising
forces to the Jinggangshan area and created the first rural revolutionary base. In April 1928, Zhu De and
Chen Yi led some of the troops from the Nanchang Uprising and the workers and
peasants in southern Hunan to meet with the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary
Army led by Mao Zedong at Jinggangshan. After the rendezvous, the two armies
were combined into the Fourth Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants
Revolutionary Army, which was soon renamed the Fourth Army of the Chinese
Workers and Peasants Red Army. The army consisted of more than 10,000 men, with
Zhu De as its commander and Mao Zedong as its party representative. After the
rendezvous, the Red Army carried out armed struggle in Jinggangshan, and the
Jinggangshan base area was consolidated and expanded. The Nanchang Uprising and
the Autumn Harvest Uprising were the beginning of the Chinese Communist Party's
independent leadership of the armed struggle and the creation of a
revolutionary army, which kicked off the transition of the Chinese Revolution
from urban to rural areas and the establishment of rural revolutionary bases.
Workers' and Peasants'
Armed Struggle Mao Zedong led the
revolutionary army of workers and peasants to fight the landlords and divide
the land in Jinggang Mountain, establish revolutionary power and carry out
guerrilla warfare, creating the situation of "armed division of the land
between workers and peasants". After the establishment of Jinggang
Mountain revolutionary base, Fang Zhimin, Deng Xiaoping, He Long, Xu Qianqian,
Liu Zhidan and others also led armed uprisings and established revolutionary
bases in various places. By 1930, more than a dozen revolutionary bases of
various sizes had been established throughout the country. Among them, the
Central Revolutionary Base Areas established by the Red Army in Ganan and
western Fujian were the largest in area. Within the revolutionary bases,
people's power was established in hundreds of counties. The revolutionary
armies grew to 100,000 people. In the winter of 1931, the
First National Congress of the Chinese Soviet was held in Ruijin, Jiangxi. The
conference announced the establishment of the Provisional Central Government of
the Chinese Soviet Republic, with the capital set in Ruijin, and Mao Zedong was
elected as the Chairman of the Provisional Central Government.(568words) |
