A detour of "reorganization": he bid farewell to Wang Jingwei

Li Junlong was born in Yaotai Township, Xiangxiang District, Hunan Province in 1909. His father was a poor private school teacher. When he was a child, although he lived in poverty, he was full of poetry. In the family, the biggest influence on Li Junlong is his brother Li zhuoran. Regardless of his father's opposition, Li zhuoran insisted on studying in public schools. He was not afraid of danger and actively participated in the patriotic movement. Later, in order to explore the way to save the country, he went to work and study in France with Cai Hesen and others. Li zhuoran was his example. Li Junlong studied in Changsha yueyun middle school when he was 14 years old. He was introduced by Peng Pingzhi and Li Ren and joined the Communist Youth League of China. In 1924, Sun Yat Sen carried out the three major policies of "uniting Russia, the Communist Party of China, and helping farmers and workers". He joined the reorganized Kuomintang. In 1926, at the meeting of the Youth League branch in Changsha, he criticized the peasant movement for going too far and was criticized by the Youth League organization. Soon after, he joined the third division of the Eighth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, did not report to the organization, and from then on he left the Communist Youth League. Later, he studied at Sun Yat sen University in Wuchang. Li Junlong studied Sun Yat Sen's three people's principles and studied Marxism Leninism. He believes that China can learn from the politics of Europe and America, and Sun Yat Sen's three people's principles are more suitable for China's national conditions. After Sun Yat Sen's death, he focused on Chiang Kai Shek, Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin to judge who was the real successor of Sun Yat Sen's cause. At the Fourth Plenary Session of the second Central Committee of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai Shek put forward the case of sorting out party affairs in an attempt to destroy the opposition within the Kuomintang and establish Chiang Kai Shek's private party. In order to realize his personal dictatorship, Chiang Kai Shek first tried to eliminate the military forces of Guangxi, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and other dissidents by means of the dispatch meeting, and then engaged in scuffles with the military groups within the Kuomintang. From 1929 to 1930, Wang Jingwei published a series of articles, such as how to support democratic forces, how to establish democratic politics, on the treaty law, on the party's rule of the army, how to be a scholar, the review of the 20-year civil rights movement, and the disintegration of the two models of psychology, all of which were about "the restoration of the party" We should restore democracy and centralize power, and support democratic forces in the country. ". As the Chiang Kai Shek regime became increasingly unpopular, Li Junlong and many intellectuals at that time regarded Wang Jingwei as a leader who advocated democratic politics and opposed individual dictatorship. After Wang Jingwei went abroad in 1928, Chen Gongbo and Gu Mengyu, members of the Guangdong side of the Kuomintang, took Wang as the banner and launched the Kuomintang reorganization movement in Shanghai. Chen Gongbo once had a revolutionary review, advocating the restoration of the spirit of the Kuomintang's reorganization in 1924, the restoration of mass organizations and mass movements, opposing corruption in Nanjing and the armed insurrection of the Communist Party, and advocating the alliance of "peasants, workers and petty citizens" as the class foundation of the Kuomintang; Gu Mengyu once had a progressive review, advocating support for Wang, but not for the "class foundation theory", advocating the so-called "class foundation theory"“ "Superclass theory". Although there was a "theoretical" dispute between the two groups, they were united in the name of Wang Yong, and formally formed the "Chinese Kuomintang reorganization comrades Association" in the spring and summer of 1928. This political faction, commonly known as the "reformist faction", has many party members in overseas and provincial organizations. Li Junlong, a young scholar, joined the reformist school. Because of his keen mind, rich knowledge and sharp writing, he soon became a backbone and served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Affairs Steering Committee of the seven districts of Beiping special city. After the Central Plains war between Jiang, Yan and Feng, in order to confront Chiang Kai Shek's Nanjing regime politically, the Gui Clique of Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang and Li Zongren invited Wang Jingwei to attend the enlarged meeting of the Central Party headquarters of the Chinese Kuomintang in Peking in 1930. At that time, Li Junlong and the backbone of the middle and lower classes of the reorganized faction objected, thinking that Yan, Feng and Jiang were warlords, and Wang Jingwei should not make such military speculation; moreover, winning was nothing more than exchanging violence with violence, and losing was out of control. However, Wang Jingwei, Gu Mengyu and others believe that politics is realistic, and if Chiang Kai Shek does not fall, nothing can be said. Wang Jingwei especially appreciated Li Junlong's talent. When he went north, he took Li Junlong with him and appointed him Secretary of the Standing Committee of the Enlarged Conference (there were three secretaries in total. The other two secretaries were Ma Xiaojin, a Cantonese proposed by Yan Xishan faction, who had participated in the alliance; Tang Zhaoming, a Sichuanese proposed by Xishan faction, who was close to Xie chi). On August 7, the enlarged meeting of the Central Party headquarters of the Chinese Kuomintang held its first formal meeting in Huairen Hall, Zhongnanhai, Beiping. It adopted the draft declaration and decided to appoint Wang Jingwei and other seven party members to lead all the work of the enlarged meeting. After the list of members of the Standing Committee of the Enlarged Conference and the candidates of various organizations were determined, the candidates for the members and the chairman of the national government were also selected through consultation. Due to the urgent needs of the anti Jiang movement in military, political and diplomatic aspects, Yan Xishan, Wang Jingwei and Xie Zhi took the oath of office in Huairen Hall at 9 am on September 9, 1930, and sent representatives of Wang Faqin standing committee to supervise the oath. At the end of the swearing in ceremony, guests and Chinese and foreign journalists were invited to announce the formal establishment of the national government. In this way, Chiang Kai Shek's Government in the South and Wang Jingwei's new government in the North formed a confrontation between the north and the south. However, on the one hand, who wins or loses depends on the front-line military, on the other hand, it depends on the direction of Zhang Xueliang in Northeast China. Chiang Kai Shek and Wang Jingwei were all fighting for Zhang Xueliang, but Zhang left and right, finally fell to Chiang Kai Shek. Only 10 days after the enlarged meeting, the Northeast Army entered the pass. On September 19, the people and horses of the enlarged meeting withdrew from Pingjin. Yan Xishan and Wang Jingwei were so short-lived when they took office that Li Junlong sighed. When Zhang Xueliang entered Pingjin, he was forced to move the enlarged meeting to Taiyuan. For a time, there were many people on the road from Beiping to Taiyuan. Yan Xishan lost the territory of Ping, Jin and Ji, the financial and tax revenue was greatly reduced, the commercial trade was sluggish, and he needed to supply 100000 troops with food and pay, to receive large and small figures from all sides, and to deal with the political, military and economic aftermath. Li Junlong withdrew from Beiping with the enlarged meeting on the 21st, stayed in Shijiazhuang Zhengtai hotel for one night, and arrived in Taiyuan on the 22nd. At the beginning of the expansion meeting, there were not enough staff, and all activities almost stopped. The only entertainment in the evening is to listen to Bangzi opera in Shanxi Grand Theater. Once, a clown satirized Yan Laoxi (Yan Xishan) for bringing in a large number of foreigners and eating Shanxi out of poverty, even drinking all the vinegar. His words were humorous and the audience applauded, but Li Junlong felt that he was neither laughing nor crying. In order to force Wang, Yan and Feng to go down, Chiang Kai Shek sent planes to bomb Taiyuan every day, shaking people's hearts. Taiyuan's prices are rising and people's lives are miserable. Because of the bleak political future, the reorganizers are extremely turbulent. In Taiyuan, Li Junlong was appointed secretary of Taiyuan treaty Drafting Committee. Originally, Li Junlong did not agree with Wang Jingwei's move to the north to hold an enlarged meeting. At this time, he heard that Yan Xishan had chosen September 9 as the president of the national government because he thought that "99" was homonymous with "long time", implying long-term peace and stability. Some people ridicule that it was "4936" at 9:00 a.m. on September 9 of the Republic of China. As the saying goes, "thirty six is the best way to go". Can it not be long to expand the conference? Everyone thinks that Wang Jingwei and the reformers have no political future, so people are worried. Some went to Chiang Kai Shek, some became Communists. Young Li Junlong drew a preliminary lesson from this political drama, but Wang Jingwei's talent and learning still deeply attracted him. Where to go, he is at a loss. After the September 18th Incident, the Japanese invaders stepped into the three eastern provinces, and the Chinese nation was in danger. Li Junlong advocated resolute resistance, but Wang Jingwei was ambiguous. In 1931, Chiang Kai Shek held an extraordinary meeting of the Kuomintang in Guangzhou. Li Junlong attended the meeting as a representative of the executive department of Tianjin. Later, he withdrew with Wang Jingwei and went to Shanghai for a meeting. In 1932, nominated by Wang Jingwei, Li Junlong was the chief of the editorial section of the central organization committee. On December 5, he was appointed by Wang Jingwei as an apprentice consul of the Consulate in New York and went to the United States with Sheng Fang. In the United States, while working, he studied at Columbia University and organized the Anti Japanese National Salvation Association for overseas Chinese students.

"Anti Japanese" right and wrong: he chose the national righteousness

when the Anti Japanese war broke out, the weak Wang Jingwei sent out "Yandian" and openly threw himself into the arms of the aggressors. Li Junlong's expectation of Wang Jingwei was completely shattered. He felt "disconsolate and cried bitterly". In May 1938, Li Junlong returned to China. However, where is Li Junlong's way to rejuvenate the motherland with his talents? When he was confused and disappointed, he saw the Kuomintang troops fighting against the Japanese aggressors in the frontal battlefield. Li Junlong suddenly awakens: the whole nation should unite to fight against foreign enemies in the face of national crisis! He devoted himself to the Anti Japanese War organized by the Kuomintang government. Chiang Kai Shek attached great importance to talents. After understanding Li Junlong's talents, he was promoted one after another. During the Anti Japanese War, the Youth League of the three people's principles was established. Chiang Kai Shek served as the head of the Youth League in the name of the president, and Zhang Zhizhong served as the head of the Youth League
