In October 1927,Mao Zedong led the troops of the Autumn Harvest Uprising and moved into the Jinggang Mountains on the boundary of the two provinces of Hunan and Jiangxi.They built the first countryside revolutionary base there.In the Jinggang Mountains,located in a distant mountainous area and remote from the central areas of the reign of the Nationalist Party,the control of the reactionary forces was weak.Soon Zhu De led part of the remaining army from the Nanchang Uprising and some peasant nulitia to join Mao's troops.The two bodies joined forces and officially formed the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.This army repeatedly overcame attempted "Suppressions" by the armies of the Chinese Nationalist Party through its guerrilla war tactics. 
In the revolutionary base,the Red Army mobilized the peasants extensively to build people's political powers,carry out agrarian revolution,satisfy the impoverished peasants' aspiration to own their own land,and positively improve the social status and living conditions of the peasants.The revolutionary wars led by the CPC won the understanding and support of impoverished peasants.These successful policies in the Jinggang Mountains clarified the way forward for the Chinese communists,ensnared in the difficulties following the failure of the Grand Revolution.They served as an example for the struggle of the Red Army and the establishment of revolutionary bases in other locations.With the continual development and growth of the Red Army and the red revolutionary bases in different regions in China,the Chinese revolution began to revive. 
Following victory in the Anti-Encirclement-and-Suppression Campaigns of the Red Army,and the consolidation and expansion of the revolutionary basesr the CPC Central Committee decided to establish a Soviet central government.In November 1931,the First National Soviet Congiess was held in Ruijin,Jiangxi.The temporary central government of the Chinese Soviet Republic was declared.The outline of the Constitution,the Land Law the Labor Law and the Women Law were adopted.This was the CPC's first exploration and attempt to establish a people's regime.With it,a spine of leaders and organizational and managerial talents was cultivated.
