The Zunyi conference
15–17 Jan 1935 — In a merchant’s house in occupied Zunyi, the surviving leadership turns on its Comintern-backed commanders; Mao Zedong, sidelined for two years, joins the military triumvirate. The march changes style at once — feint, double-back, split. The party has found the commander it will keep for forty years.
This is one scene of Chapter 7 — The Long March in China in Revolution, 1911–1949.
