During the initial stage of the Nationalist government at Nanjing, the KMT Beiping Municipal Party Headquarters mainly emerged out of several groupuscules from when the KMT operated secretly in North China, hence enjoying a strong characteristic of locality. Although the nine steering committee members were formally appointed by central party authorities, their loose relationship with central headquarters caused an inevitable alienation between the two. From the first day that the Municipal Party Committee was publicized, due to the issues including the registration of party members and the selection of the Third National Congress of the KMT representatives, the municipal branch confronted central authorities, causing multiple instances of social agitation. In addition, the KMT Reorganization Group took the opportunity to add fuel to the conflagration and further escalated the chaos concerning party affairs in Beiping. Chiang Kai-shek蔣介石(1887–1975), who had long taken notice of the situation, took the initiative to gradually seize power over the personnel of the municipal branch, a process of which deeply involved Ding Weifen丁惟汾(1874–1954), Yan Xishan閻錫山(1883–1960), Chen Guofu陳果夫(1892–1951), and others, presenting a complex image. The dissensions over party affairs in Beiping, however, were not merely a local issue, instead reflecting administrative foundations and patterns of governance over North China by the Nanjing Nationalist government in their early period. |
