Chapter Five discusses two things. First, it looks at the aftermath of the Futian Rebellion and at Xiang Ying’s efforts to calm things down. Xiang’s efforts were soon reversed by the arrival of the “three person group,” which implemented the radical new line coming out of the Comintern. Zhou Enlai would later try to control the sufan movement, but new leadership (Bo Gu) and the pressing need for soldiers and money would reignite efforts to suppress so-called counterrevolutionaries. Second, the chapter looks briefly at the Eyuwan Revolutionary Base Area, north of the Yangzi river, to show that the same logic of sufan applied there as well.
