In 1958, at the Lushan Conference, Mr. Peng wrote a letter of concern for the country and the people. Unexpectedly, he encountered wrong criticism. After the Lushan Conference, Mr. Peng was removed from all official positions, but was forced to move to Wujia Garden (all official positions had been revoked by this time). He still worried about the country and the people, and wrote another letter of 10,000 words in 1962. The letter was written to Chairman Mao, putting forward his own views on the national economy and the people's livelihood, and at the back of the book of ten thousand words, he reminded Chairman Mao to be careful of two people, and said that these two people had ambitions and conspiracies, so Chairman Mao was particularly careful about these two people. It was later proved that Mr. Peng's prediction came true. These two people were indeed conspirators who made trouble in special times. So who are these two people?
These two people are Ke Qingshi and Kang Sheng respectively. As early as the 1958 Lushan Conference, these two people fiercely criticized Mr. Peng and imposed many unfounded charges on Mr. Peng. However, Mr. Peng wrote a letter to the great man in 1962, asking the great man to be careful about these two careerists. It was not to avenge a personal vendetta, but out of consideration for the fate of the country and the development prospects of China's socialist society.
At the Lushan Conference, the two men violently attacked President Peng and imposed many unfounded crimes on him. For example, Ke Qingshi shamelessly criticized President Peng as a careerist, secretly established a "military club", secretly acted against the central government, and repeatedly disobeyed the orders of the great man. Kang Sheng went on to criticize Mr. Peng "with added fuel and jealousy", saying that Mr. Peng was a great contributor to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and stepped forward many times in critical moments. Then Kang Sheng changed the subject and said that all this was pretended by Mr. Peng, but in fact Peng was always two-faced, doing one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. The original Chinese Volunteer Army and the Ministry of National Defense "stand on their own and fight against the central government." Generals such as Huang Kecheng and Zhong Wei are Peng Dehuai's capable generals. This is ironclad evidence that Peng Dehuai is against the central government. Peng Dehuai's ambition can be said to be the heart of Sima Zhao. Everyone knows it. Ke Qingshi and Kang Sheng criticized President Peng on various groundless charges at the Lushan Conference.
When the generals attending the meeting saw that Ke Qingshi and Kang Sheng were criticizing General Peng so maliciously at the meeting, Huang Kecheng, Zhong Wei and others couldn't stand it, and they all stood up to speak out for General Peng. Among them, Major General Zhong Wei and Ke Qingshi Kangsheng and others had a fierce quarrel, and the meeting once got out of hand. In the end, Major General Zhong Wei was carried out by the guards to calm the turmoil.
Ke Qingshi and Kang Sheng did everything they could to slander President Peng. They even said that the Hundred Regiments War commanded by President Peng was a mistake, prematurely exposing the true strength of the Eighth Route Army and causing serious and unnecessary casualties. They also said that all this was because President Peng was full of ambition! A discerning person will see that all this is a slander against Mr. Peng, a slander that confuses right and wrong and confuses the facts. In the Hundred Regiment Battle, General Peng demonstrated the military might of the Eighth Route Army and the ambition of the Chinese people, which greatly enhanced the confidence and morale of the anti-Japanese army and people to defeat the Japanese invaders. However, they turned black and white and slandered Mr. Peng for his ambitions and slandered the victory of the Hundred Regiments War for his mistakes.
This is a common problem among all careerists. They clearly have ambitions, but for the sake of power, they slander the other party as a careerist and conspirator.
Since then, Ke Qingshi and Kang Sheng used various reasons to bring down a large number of veteran cadres and stirred up trouble during those special years with the purpose of seizing power. During that time, the two ambitious conspirators Ke Qingshi and Kang Sheng accelerated their plot to seize power. As for the two men's wolfish ambitions, Mr. Peng had long seen through their Sima Zhao intentions. So in 1962, when the Central Committee held a meeting, someone sent a letter to Chairman Mao, expressing his views on the domestic situation at that time. The words in the letter showed President Peng's concern for the country and the people. At this time, President Peng's situation was already very bad, but President Peng was still worried about the country and the people. This is what our beloved President Peng always thinks about the interests and future of the country and the people. At the end of the letter, he specifically reminded the great man to be careful of Ke Qingshi and Kang Sheng, reminding the great man that these two people would conspire to seize power in the years to come.
Sure enough, in the special era, the two men took advantage of the special period to seize power and killed Zhongliang and a group of veteran generals. Ke Qingshi became the deputy prime minister for a time, but unfortunately he died of illness within a few months. However, before leaving office, Ke Qingshi recommended Wang Hongwen to the central government. Wang Hongwen was an effective member of the "Gang of Four" and was accused of countless crimes. Kang Sheng committed all kinds of evil in special times, and was liquidated by history many years after his death. I have to admire Mr. Peng's vision of looking at people.
In the years to come, Mr. Peng was rehabilitated. Today, Mr. Peng’s spirit and attitude towards life are supported by the people. When Mr. Peng is mentioned, people will think of the glorious image of “a sword and a horse” and the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, and the way Mr. Peng worried about the country and the people after returning to China. Ke Qingshi and Kang Sheng will definitely be reviled by history and the public!
The significance of history is to learn from history and historical figures, so that we can know the gains and losses.
