"Top Ten Marshals Pictures" I believe everyone has seen it. These ten Marshals are also famous founding heroes, namely Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, Lin Biao, Liu Bocheng, He Long, Chen Yi , Luo Ronghuan, Xu Xiangqian, Nie Rongzhen and Ye Jianying .
These ten people have made a lot of contributions to the founding of New China. Therefore, it is undisputed that they were rated as the top ten marshals when the military rank was evaluated in 1955. However, in fact, during the evaluation, three other big figures voluntarily gave up the position of marshal. What's going on?
It turns out that when the "Top Ten Marshals" were nominated, there were 13 people, and the remaining three were Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping . Mao Zedong's position as the Grand Marshal has long been determined, and the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress also unanimously decided to award him the title of "Grand Marshal", but Chairman Mao refused.
However, who else can be the position besides him? Therefore, the masses were very enthusiastic and determined to award this title to him. They also sent people to lobby several times, but they were rejected by Chairman Mao. He said: It is a big job to be judged by
, and it is also a bad job. This marshal doesn't want it. It is too inconvenient to wear the marshal's uniform to speak among the people.
After Chairman Mao's repeated refusal, he had to cancel the title of "Major Marshal".
So, what should I do with the other 13 candidates?
As Chairman Mao said, it is a bad job to be a judge. After the members of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress discussed with Mao Zedong and others, a regulation was made: in principle, the military cadres who have worked in the local area will no longer be awarded the active-duty rank. Of course, although the active-duty rank is not awarded, they can be awarded the reserve rank of . At that time, Zhou Enlai served as Premier of the State Council, Deng Xiaoping was Secretary-General, and Liu Shaoqi was Vice Chairman of the Central People's Government, and neither had any position in the army.
However, Deng Xiaoping had no intention of evaluating this military rank at that time. For him, as long as he did practical things for the masses, he didn't care about these things at all, and regarded fame and fortune as nothing. When Chairman Mao asked him about the rank of marshal, Deng Xiaoping said cheerfully: " is what marshal, I have never led troops for a long time. ." After repeated ruling, Deng Xiaoping voluntarily gave up the rank of "marshal".
Zhou Enlai and Liu Shaoqi also said that they would not participate in this assessment after hearing that they had a headache about this matter. Liu Shaoqi said to Chairman Mao: "You have been in the army, and you should be rated as the marshal. If you don't comment, I won't comment anymore. Anyway, I don't work in the army now." So, although the remaining 10 people refused to give in to each other, they could only confirm the rank of "Top Ten Marshals".
There is no doubt that not participating in the selection does not mean that the achievements of these great men can be erased. As the leader of the party, Chairman Mao led the people of our party to the ultimate victory. Whether he had the rank of "Grand Marshal" or not, his status was undoubtedly the highest.
Comrade Liu Shaoqi launched the workers' movement during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, commanding the Eighth Route Army in North China, strengthening the original 40,000 team to 150,000. The establishment and growth of the New Fourth Army are also inseparable from his command, and everyone knows his contributions. Comrade Zhou Enlai also devoted a lot of effort to the founding of New China. He led the third armed uprising of Shanghai workers. After the collapse of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he went to Nanchang to lead the Nanchang with He Long, Zhu De and others. He served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and Secretary of the Central Military Commission. The development and growth of the Communist Party is completely inseparable from his organization's leadership. After the founding of New China, he also served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of from 1949 to 1958, laying a good foundation for the diplomatic cause of New China and has always devoted himself to it.
In addition, it goes without saying that Deng Xiaoping's contributions were the leader of " Baise Uprising ". During the Red Army , he served as the political commissar and the secretary-general of the General Political Department . After the founding of New China, he continued to work hard for the cause of reform and opening up. Such a great man no longer cared about the title of marshal.
Furthermore, even without the rank of "marshal", no one will forget the great contributions they have made. This is an indisputable fact.
In fact, not only " Top Ten Marshals " has such a humble style, but when we evaluate " Top Ten Generals ", everyone also shirked each other.
In addition to the top ten generals we know now, there are four people, Li Xiannian, Tan Zhenlin, , Deng Zihui, and Zhang Dingcheng. Chairman Mao asked them one by one, but they all said they didn't want to be a general.
Amid such a voice of ruling and humility, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held another matter on the evaluation of military ranks, and then the candidates for military ranks were determined. After learning the results, the group of people had to accept it. Therefore, the list of the "General Rankings of Military Rankings" was confirmed and announced on September 15, 1955.
September 27 of the same year was a sacred day. The rank awarding ceremony for these generals and marshals was held in Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, and a total of 301 soldiers were awarded military ranks. When Peng Zhen, director of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, announced the ceremony, there was a thunderous applause. At the scene, Chairman Mao personally awarded the rank of the marshals the order to express his gratitude and respect for them.
National anthem floats in this inspiring moment and also in everyone's heart. From the Opium War to the more than 100 years of artillery fire, the victory of the revolution of the Communist Party of China has experienced many difficulties and obstacles. The stars and medals shining on the shoulders of the generals, but compared with the brilliant galaxy, they confirm the tortuous path of the founding of the Republic and the great achievements they have made in their flesh and blood.
Now, the red flag is flying, and the war has gone away, but we will always remember the history of these heroes’ struggle!
