In early 1967, many military organs and founding generals were impacted and defeated. Everyone was excited and worried. I wonder if Chairman Mao knew about this phenomenon in society and was eager to see Chairman Mao.
Chairman Mao quickly fulfilled everyone's wishes. On January 22, an enlarged meeting of the Military Commission was held in Great Hall of the People and met everyone. Before the meeting, it was very different from usual. There was only one chair on the rostrum, which meant that only Chairman Mao sat on the rostrum.
Chairman Mao has always liked to get along with the masses and everyone, and does not like to be alone. Seeing this scene, he said that he would invite old coaches such as Chen Yi and , Xu Xiangqian, Nie Rongzhen and Ye Jianying to come on stage, but no one said anything.
is still President Chen’s humorous and humorous. He smiled and said, “We are sitting down and listening attentively.” The old coaches don’t want to sit on the stage, Chairman Mao said, “You must truly stand on the side of the revolutionary left and make a debut like a performer.”
Chairman Mao also said that some places have come to the conservative side and want to stand over. Chairman Mao specially praised Gan Weihan, the founding lieutenant general of the Chengdu Military Region, for his special praise. He dared to meet both factions, but his family was very safe.
Next, Chairman Mao talked about the truth about supporting the revolutionary left. I asked everyone, what else is there? The venue was silent, but no one answered Chairman Mao’s question. I saw Xu Shiyou, commander of Nanjing Military Region, stand up and he wanted to speak.
Xu Shiyou said that wearing a high hat is a bad habit for landlords and wealthy people, so why do you also wear it for your own people? We have followed Chairman Mao for so many years, and now we fight like our local masters, I can't figure it out!
It should be said that Xu Shiyou expressed everyone’s common voice and said what everyone wants to say but did not say. Xu Shiyou's words are very representative. In that situation at that time, there were marshals, generals, and many founding generals. Why did Xu Shiyou stand up and speak?
One of them is that Xu Shiyou has a veteran in revolution, and he is not afraid of heaven or earth, which annoyed him and dared to shoot people. More importantly, Xu Shiyou is Chairman Mao’s favorite general, and his relationship with Chairman Mao is extraordinary, so he dares to speak in front of Chairman Mao.
After listening to Xu Shiyou's speech, Chairman Mao joked with Xu Shiyou with his unique humor, saying that you should not disguise yourself, it's like a fierce Zhang Fei. What does
mean? Chairman Mao certainly understood the problems reported by Xu Shiyou. Everyone, like Xu Shiyou, felt wronged and incomprehensible, but didn't say anything. Only Xu Shiyou dares to break the problem and raise it in public. Xu Shiyou really looks like a reckless monk, with a sloppy head.
Of course, Chairman Mao did not mean to blame Xu Shiyou. He took over the topic of Xu Shiyou and said:
They used the method I mentioned in the "Hunan Peasant Movement Inspection Report", wearing a high hat, knocking it to the ground, and taking another foot, which is to deal with local tyrants and bad gentry. Now, it is not good to wear a high hat and do a jet-like style at any time.
Obviously, Chairman Mao attaches great importance to the issues reflected by Xu Shiyou. Finally, Chairman Mao emphasized that should be united well and put the overall situation first. If we don’t have a good unity, what if we can’t do it well? We must engage in large-groupism, not small-groupism.
Chairman Mao also said that no matter whether he is familiar or not, he opposes or not himself, as long as he can do some work, he must be united. In the past, some people opposed me and were wrong. I am very grateful to them and forced me to study Marxism.
Chairman Mao said this, President Chen interrupted, in history, I have opposed Chairman Mao twice. Chairman Mao smiled and said, "I will cooperate with you if I object to it three times." made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became much easier. Everyone was very happy.
speech is over, Chairman Mao will take a photo with everyone. At that time, there was no specified position for taking photos, nor did you put labels on your seats, and everyone stood casually. Huang Yongsheng, Li Zuopeng, Qiu Huizuo and others tried desperately to push forward, after all, they were all big celebrities at that time.
Seeing this scene, Xu Shiyou was even more angry and took Zhang Zhen’s hand angrily and said loudly, “Let’s go, let’s go back!” Xu Shiyou is really fierce, fearless and scruple-free, straightforward, and speaking loudly, just to let them hear it.
Result, Xu Shiyou and Zhang Zhen really stood in the last row. The photo above is proof.
