"Build a high wall, accumulate more grain, and become king slowly" is a plan that Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Sheng, an expert. With this strategy, monk Zhu finally won the Central Plains, laid the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and realized his dream of being an emperor.

These short nine words have profound thoughts on the base areas.

In fact, similar behaviors are not uncommon in history, such as Liu Bang's "Three Chapters of the Contract" after his entry into the customs, Cao Cao's reclamation system during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei's stay in Jingzhou, and the heroes of the Water Margin occupied Liangshan, Shui Bo, etc. The failure of Huang Chao and Li Chuang is inseparable from the lack of a solid foundation for mobile operations. It can be seen that establishing a certain base and then developing it in Xu Tu is a * * * sexual act.

As for how much influence this thought had on Mao Zedong's establishment of the Central Soviet Area in Jinggangshan, it is difficult for us to make a clear inference. However, Mao Zedong, who is familiar with history, especially the dynasty uprising, certainly knows these allusions, which is undoubtedly a reference for him.

Perhaps it is because the hearts of masters are interlinked and times have changed. Hundreds of years later, the China Revolution also adopted a similar strategy of establishing base areas to develop its own strategy of advancing the revolution and finally seizing the national political power, and finally achieved brilliant success.

Mao Zedong is the main founder of this strategy, but it took a lot of energy, a long way and a great price to produce this idea and eventually become the knowledge of the whole party.

Let's take a look at the significance of this strategy, how it was put forward, and what is the significance.

1. Based on survival.

The young * * * production party, during the period of state-to-state cooperation, knew little about guns, was keen on the urban workers' movement, was keen on cooperation, and hoped for the Northern Expedition. It's really naive and naive.

Four? 1212 counter-revolutionary shot, many * * * producers were slaughtered, and then 7? 15 coup, the revolutionary forces suffered a devastating blow again. By this time, the dream of the producer of * * * was shattered. They wake up and grow up, but they are not afraid.

In Lu Xun's words, the revolution has never been hung by the head.

As Mao Zedong said, they buried their comrades' bodies, wiped off their blood and continued their struggle.

This time, they picked up machine guns and mortars, and learned to fight tooth for tooth and fight blood for blood.

Nanchang uprising, Guangzhou uprising, white uprising, etc. They are all meritorious deeds against the Kuomintang reactionaries.

Mao Zedong then led the Autumn Harvest Uprising.

Judging from the initial goal, the autumn harvest uprising failed because it failed to lay a big city and achieve its strategic goal.

But from another point of view, it is successful, because it has opened up a new revolutionary road, that is, to achieve survival and development in the form of base areas, seize national political power and win revolutionary victory.

Great men are great men. He is good at being calm at critical moments, being good at creating, turning the tide and finding another way. In the end, Mao Zedong sized up the situation, led his troops to Jinggangshan, established Jinggangshan revolutionary base, started his other life & military career, and opened up a new road of China revolution.

Climbing Jinggangshan, it should be said that the initial motivation is to survive but to stand on its feet, because the uprising suffered setbacks and the team suffered heavy losses, and survival is the first priority.

And cities can't go, and busy places can't go, because these places are occupied by elite enemies, and going there is a dead end, so you can only go to places where the enemy's ruling power is weak, and it is not easy to be besieged by the enemy and easy to hide, so Jinggangshan has become the best choice.

At this time, Mao Zedong's quick choice and quick response cannot but make people admire his decisiveness and leadership.

In fact, it should be said that Jinggangshan's choice of Jinggangshan as a foothold, refuge and health care place has far-reaching influence on history and traditional culture.

As we all know, Mao Zedong is a native of China, so first of all, he is familiar with the history of China and China culture, and he mastered Marxism at least after he was a teenager.

That is to say, Mao Zedong, who is familiar with China's traditional culture, knows very well how insurgents and outlaws made trouble, struggled, survived, grew and fought against the officers and men's government in history. Therefore, since they all started the uprising, there must be similarities, so the survival experience of the insurgents in the past is likely to be used for reference by Mao Zedong.

Historically, chivalrous men often gathered in the mountains, coming and going without a trace, being good at hiding from cats and being good at survival, which made officers and men have a headache. At this moment, it is just the right time to go up the mountain.

Don't think this is a reference. In fact, reference is also a creative activity.

Because of the same principle, how to use it, when to use it, where to use it, and under what conditions, there are great differences and wisdom is needed.

When Mao Zedong led his troops to Jinggangshan, he did not mechanically carry out the orders of his superiors and the initial strategic planning. Instead, he can fight if he can, but he can't fight if he can't, which reflects his flexibility and creative thinking of seeking truth from facts.

Here, he gave an example to the officers and men, saying that people can't always hang their asses, they are tired and need a place to rest and save their strength, so they choose a place to stay and become * * * knowledge.

In fact, militarily, it is easy to be wiped out halfway because there is no home front to fight and you are tired of mobility. Shi Dakai is an example.

2 development.

On Jinggangshan, living is only the first step, not the highest goal, and living and growing is the goal.

Because we have to do a lot of work to fight the enemy's encirclement and suppression in the future, we can't be satisfied with the status quo. Besides, the situation is very poor. Serenade is poor in weapons, difficult in economy and unstable in people's hearts.

The goal of the uprising against big cities can only be put aside first, because it is too far away and too weak, so we can only take care of the present first.

Therefore, Mao Zedong has carried out a series of creative work, that is, the establishment of base areas.

Rectify the army, establish branches in the company, establish iron discipline, keep the army popular, listen to the party's words, that is, the party commands guns, and create a series of strategies and tactics;

Develop the economy and establish various enterprises and cooperatives;

Carry out agrarian revolution, oppose feudalism, liberate peasants, win over the masses and publicize them;

... and so on, a series of work has developed and strengthened the base area, so the reality has changed, which will prompt people to think theoretically.

There is no doubt that in people's minds at that time, the way of revolution was the same as that of Russia, mainly because the city surrounded the countryside and rioted to seize power, which was a quick victory theory. However, China's national conditions are slightly different from those of Russian. First, the Party has mastered some regular troops, such as those of Ye Ting and He Long. Second, urban uprisings are dominated by the army, supplemented by workers, such as the Nanchang Uprising, and there are also uprisings in rural areas.

However, it goes without saying that the reason why the theory of city center failed was that the enemy was too strong.

So we retreated to the enemy's weak areas, that is, the rural mountainous areas, and entered a transitional state, that is, we needed to develop some troops to help promote urban riots, and we needed to seize some rural areas to influence the cities, but the fundamental point was to focus on urban riots.

This is the understanding of many high-level party member at that time.

However, in Jinggangshan Special Zone, with the development of the base area, the theory has also developed, and the views on the base area will also change.

That is to say, with the development of practice, the development of base areas, the development of the army, and the in-depth understanding of China's national conditions, the idea of placing the revolutionary center in the countryside has become more and more prominent and more suitable for reality, so Mao Zedong's thought of base areas has matured.

The thought of the base area is a system.

What is the base area?

It is the foothold and base of revolutionary forces, the place where revolutionary forces rest, the place where revolutionary forces develop and the base camp.

Why do you need a base area?

Because the enemy is too strong, we must survive if we want to continue the revolution. In order to survive, we can only go to the countryside to find a place to hide and secretly develop ourselves.

Why build a base area?

Because the enemy is going to surround and destroy the base areas, they can only build them.

When the base area is strong, we can defeat the enemy.

Therefore, the base area was a * * * producer when he was weak.

A place where you can hide your strength step by step and develop yourself, slowly accumulate a revolutionary base with quantitative changes, and finally become strong and have qualitative changes.

With this foundation, the former can advance and the latter can retreat, so it is the way to seize political power.

Therefore, Mao Zedong's thought of base areas is indeed a core thought, which deserves our attention.
