Abstract

This article uses a case study of Hunan province to examine the role of militia in the struggle for the control of local society during the 1926-1927 National Revolution. Although the Nationalist and Communist Parties both agreed on the need eliminate militia leadership by “local bullies and evil gentry,” differences quickly arose over how to reconstruct militia following this action. Nationalist Party activists tended to favor a “statist” approach that would replace abusive militia leaders with “upright” local elites but place them under stricter and more direct official control. Communist Party activists in contrast sought a “popular” mass militia free of elite influence and controlled by new peasant and worker unions. As such, this struggle over militia command and control became a key component in the broader political competition between the two parties and their alternative revolutionary visions.
中国国民革命时期的民兵指挥与控制,湖南1926-1927
本文以湖南为例,考察了1926-1927年国民革命时期民兵在地方社会控制权斗争中的作用。虽然国民党和共产党都同意有必要消除“土豪劣绅”对民兵的领导,但在这一行动之后如何重建民兵的问题上,分歧很快就出现了。国民党活动人士倾向于采用“中央集权”的方式,用“正直”的地方精英取代滥用职权的民兵领导人,但将他们置于更严格、更直接的官方控制之下。相比之下,共产党积极分子寻求的是一种“受欢迎的”群众民兵,不受精英的影响,由新的农民和工人工会控制。因此,这场关于民兵指挥和控制的斗争成为两党之间更广泛的政治竞争及其替代革命愿景的关键组成部分。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Chinese Military History (JCMH) is a peer-reviewed semi-annual that publishes research articles and book reviews. It aims to fill the need for a journal devoted specifically to China''s martial past and takes the broadest possible view of military history, embracing both the study of battles and campaigns and the broader, social-history oriented approaches that have become known as "the new military history." It aims to publish a balanced mix of articles representing a variety of approaches to both modern and pre-modern Chinese military history. The journal also welcomes comparative and theoretical work as well as studies of the military interactions between China and other states and peoples, including East Asian neighbors such as Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.
