Development history

At the end of 1934, the Central Red Army entered Guizhou from Hunan channel. After occupying Liping, the general headquarters was set up here. On December 18, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting here, known as the "Liping meeting". It was an important meeting held by the Red Army after it left Jiangxi. At a critical moment, it changed the Red Army's strategic policy, turned passive into active, and laid the ideological and organizational foundation for the Zunyi Meeting. This ordinary house became an important revolutionary cultural relic because of the "Liping conference". It was listed as a provincial cultural relic protection unit in Guizhou in 1982 and upgraded to a national key cultural relic protection unit in 2006.

The origin of the meeting site

At a time when the central revolutionary base with Ruijin as the center was booming, Chiang Kai Shek mobilized 500000 troops to carry out the fifth "encirclement and suppression" campaign, adopted the "fortress" tactics and pushed forward step by step. At that time, the "left" line had the upper hand in the Party Central Committee, and Bogu (Qin bangxian) was the temporary head of the Central Committee. With the support of Li De (German), the military adviser of the Communist International, disregarding the reality of the great disparity between the enemy and us and the successful experience of the first, second, third and fourth "encirclement and suppression" campaigns, he advocated "keeping the enemy out of the country" and adopting the policy of "concentration to concentration, fortress to fortress" As a result, the red army suffered huge losses and the base area was shrinking day by day. In August 1934, the sixth Red Army broke through the encirclement in the Hunan Jiangxi border region and moved to eastern Guizhou to join the third Red Army in Helong. In October, the main force of the Central Red Army had to leave the revolutionary base areas in southern Hunan and Western Fujian. Ten times to see off the red army expresses the moving scene when the Red Army left. In the process of great retreat and great transfer, Bogu and Li De's "three men regiment" held the military command and strongly advocated marching into Western Hunan to join the second and sixth Red Army. This intention was soon discovered by Chiang Kai Shek, who mobilized heavy troops to intercept and chase the Red Army, preparing to wipe out the Red Army at one stroke. The Red Army broke through four blockades in a row and fell into the dilemma of being beaten passively. The first World War in Xiangjiang was the worst, with more than half of the Red Army's losses, from 86000 to more than 30000.

At this critical juncture, Mao Zedong urged the Central Red Army to give up the plan of meeting with the second and sixth Red Army Corps in Western Hunan, avoid the real situation, and march towards Guizhou, where the enemy's military strength was weak. When the central leaders held an emergency meeting in Hunan corridor, most people realized that they must change their ways and support Mao Zedong's idea of marching into Guizhou. Forced by the situation, Bogu and Li De reluctantly agreed, but still stubbornly insisted on establishing a base in Western Hunan. The Political Bureau meeting was held in Liping. At the meeting, Mao Zedong analyzed the situation between the enemy and US and thought that marching into Guizhou was the only right way out for the Red Army. His opinions were supported by Zhou Enlai, Wang Jiaxiang, Zhang Wentian and others. The meeting passed the decision of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on strategic guidelines, which held that it was impossible and unrealistic to establish a base area in Western Hunan. It was necessary to abandon the established guidelines and establish a Sichuan Guizhou border base area with Zunyi as the center, thus deciding the operational plan of marching to Zunyi. This decision actually negated the "left" military line, disrupted Chiang Kai Shek's plan to destroy the Red Army east of Yuanjiang River, left more than 100000 enemy troops in Southwest Hunan, and opened up a new way for the Red Army to move forward. The Red Army reorganized in Liping, reorganized its fighting forces, broke through the Qingshui River defense line of the Guizhou army, and arrived at the South Bank of the Wujiang River in liankejian River, Taijiang River, Zhenyuan, Shibing, Huangping and Yuqing. Bogu, Li De and others only took the march into Guizhou as an expedient, and still advocated "returning to join the second and sixth Red Army Corps". On January 1, 1935, the Political Bureau held an emergency meeting in Weng'an monkey farm (jincaotang) on the South Bank of Wujiang River. Most people advocated rushing across Wujiang River and occupying Zunyi. Wujiang River is known as the natural danger, high bank and deep valley, the water is turbulent, the roar of the river is thunderous, and the enemy forces on the opposite bank block the ferry. The red army attacked in three ways. The middle road crossed the boundary river of Weng'an river. The left road occupied chashanguan in the upper reaches and the right road occupied Yuqing huilongchang in the lower reaches. The soldiers of the Red Army were not afraid of the cold weather, but they could not swim because of the strong waves. On the morning of the 3rd, three bamboo rafts continued to follow up, and the "22 red warriors" opened a bloody path, and the whole defensive line collapsed. A floating bridge was built over the boundary of the river, and the red army quickly crossed the river. Starting from the breakthrough of Wujiang defense line in LAOHUDONG, after five days, the red army won the Wujiang defense line 200 Li from huilongchang in the east to chashanguan in the West and moved forward to Zunyi. Crossing the Wujiang River by force became the first major victory of the Red Army since the Long March, which greatly inspired the Red Army's fighting will, grasped the initiative in the war, and wrote a glorious page in the history of the long march. The correct decision made at the Liping meeting was also recorded in the history of revolution because of the victory of the Red Army.
