Surrounding the city from the countryside is the way to implement the armed regime of workers and peasants, surround the city from the countryside and finally seize the national political power. This is the product of Mao Zedong's study of China's national conditions and the combination of the universal truth of Marxism with the concrete practice of China's revolution. This is the correct way to win the victory of China revolution, and it also enriches and develops Marxist military theory.
1927 After the failure of the Great Revolution, Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang established a new warlord rule, surrendered to imperialism abroad and practiced fascist dictatorship at home. China society is still a semi-feudal cattle society, and the China revolution turned into a low tide. At the critical moment of the revolution,1August 7th, 927, China * * * held the "August 7th meeting" in Hankou. On the basis of summing up the experience and lessons of the failure of the Great Revolution, the general policy of agrarian revolution and armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries was determined, and at the critical moment of the failure of the Great Revolution, the direction of adhering to the revolution was pointed out to the people of the whole country in time, so that the China Revolution gradually entered a new development stage centered on the agrarian revolution. From the autumn of 1927 to the end of 1928, China * * led more than 200 armed uprisings in China, the most famous of which were Nanchang Uprising, Autumn Harvest Uprising and Guangzhou Uprising. These uprisings opened a new era in which China led the revolutionary armed struggle independently, stimulated the revolutionary fighting spirit of the people of China, and were of great significance to the establishment of the people's army and the exploration of the road of seizing power by armed forces.
But after the armed uprising, they took the lead in seizing the central city? Or occupy the countryside first, combine with the peasant movement, and take the road of encircling the city from the countryside and finally seizing the city? This is an extremely important problem that must be solved at that time. Mao Zedong answered a series of important questions from practice and theory, such as why the China Revolution should take the road of encircling the cities from the countryside, and whether the China revolutionary base area and the Chinese Red Army can exist, develop and win national victory. In practice, in the process of leading the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Mao Zedong denied the wrong idea of "taking Liuyang to attack Changsha" and attacking the central city, and led his troops to March into Jinggangshan. 1in April, 928, he joined forces with the uprising troops in southern Hunan led by Zhu De and founded the revolutionary history of China.
