How did Mao Zedong evaluate them?
The top ten founding marshals made great achievements and made outstanding contributions to different stages of the Chinese revolution. Mao Zedong's comments to them not only pointed out and praised their main contributions to the Chinese revolution, but also pointed out their extraordinary temperament and unique vision.
1. Zhu De
Marshal Zhu De plays an extremely special position in the People's Army. He is known as the "father of the Red Army" and is one of the main creators of the People's Army.
Mao Zedong was full of respect for Zhu De's close comrade-in-arms. His evaluation of Marshal Zhu De was as follows: "Measures are like the sea, and will is as strong as steel." This evaluation well summarizes Marshal Zhu De's great character of generous, simple, strong and humbleness.
2. Peng Dehuai
Whether during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, or resistant to the U.S. aggression and aid Korea after the founding of New China, Marshal Peng Dehuai was one of Mao Zedong's most trusted senior commanders. Peng Dehuai was also one of the few revolutionary generals who Mao Zedong had specially praised for writing poems.
On October 21, 1935, after Peng Dehuai commanded his troops to win the "Wuqizhen Battle", the excited Mao Zedong wrote poems to praise Peng Dehuai, and gave him a high praise for his bravery and tenacity and ability to fight:
The mountains are high and the roads are far and the pits are deep, and the army is galloping across and across.
Who dares to stand up right away? Only General Peng.
Mao Zedong vividly depicted the majestic image of General Peng standing tall and jealous of evil with just one sentence "Who dares to stand tall, only General Peng."
3. Lin Biao
In addition to being smart and mastering tactics, an excellent military commander also needs some insight and talent. Lin Biao undoubtedly has the understanding of this aspect. He is good at using his brain and is very strategic, and commands the troops to win many victories.
Although Lin Biao made great achievements in military affairs, he always seemed timid in front of Mao Zedong, like a young young man in front of respected elders, Lin Biao was also called "baby" by Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong once praised Lin Biao, who was always winning battles: "This baby is worthy of being a great task."
4. Liu Bocheng
Marshal Liu Bocheng has excellent military command capabilities and is known as the "God of Military". He always comes to the front line to command operations. He has been seriously injured many times in his long military career. During the Long March, the Red Army was surrounded by enemy forces. There were pursuers behind and in front of them, and under the severe situation of whether the troops could cross the Jinsha River, many people were unsure of whether the troops could cross the Jinsha River. Mao Zedong was full of confidence. He said humorously: "Liu Bocheng is a dragon descending to earth. How can the river water stop the dragon? He will take us there!" Liu Bocheng really lived up to expectations. Under his command, the army crossed the river safely.
5. He Long
Whenever he talks about Marshal He Long, people will think of "two kitchen knives to make a revolution". Marshal He Long is one of the founders of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. He is extremely loyal to the cause of the party. After Mao Zedong arrived in northern Shaanxi, he praised He Long as "the flag of the second front army of the Red Army ."
6, Chen Yi
Marshal Chen Yi was a golden partner with General Su Yu during the revolutionary struggle. There was once the saying that "Chen will not leave the millet, but the millet will not leave the Chen".
Chen Yi is good at leading troops, and no one among the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in East China dissatisfied with Chen Yi. Su Yu is good at commanding warfare and is called the "God of War". Chen Yi trusted Su Yu's military command ability very much and cooperated with him with a great view of the overall situation.
Mao Zedong admires Marshal Chen Yi's openness, cheerfulness and generous character and temperament very much. Mao Zedong said that Marshal Chen Yi is "a good comrade". This simple and simple evaluation is a high praise for Marshal Chen Yi.
7. Luo Ronghuan
Marshal Luo Ronghuan was called "the person who worked together for his whole life" and "the founder of the People's Liberation Army's political and ideological front."
Marshal Luo Ronghuan went through countless ups and downs with Mao Zedong from following Mao Zedong on Jinggangshan until his death. Luo Ronghuan unfortunately passed away in 1963. Mao Zedong attended his memorial service and wrote "Seven-character Ching-Luo Ronghuan" that night:
I remember that the grass was flying on the grass, and every time the Red Army was in conflict.
The Long March is not an embarrassing day, and the battle of the brocade is a big problem.
rebukes the geeks and bullies the big birds every time they hear, kiki long laughs at the eagle.
Jun is unfortunately passed away now, who can I ask if there are any problems in the country?
This poem is deeply affectionate and expresses its feelings directly, expressing Mao Zedong's grief and regret for the unfortunate death of his old comrade. "You are unfortunately passing away now. Who can you ask if you have any questions in the country?" This poem also reflects Mao Zedong's high evaluation of Marshal Luo Ronghuan.
8. Xu Xiangqian
Mao Zedong's evaluation of Marshal Xu Xiangqian is a "good person".
Xu Xiangqian and Mao Zedong met on the Long March. At that time, Xu Xiangqian was the military commander-in-chief of the Red Fourth Front Army. When Zhang Guotao exposed his attempt to split the Party and split the Red Army, the Party Central Committee was forced to lead the Red Army to the north overnight. At this time, someone asked Xu Xiangqian, "Will you fight?" Xu Xiangqian said loudly: "How can the Red Army fight the Red Army? No matter what, you can't fight!"
Xu Xiangqian's wise choice at the most critical moment of the Long March maintained the unity of the Party and the Red Army, avoided a tragedy, and was praised by Chairman Mao.
Xu Xiangqian is modest, cautious, approachable, and respects Chairman Mao very much. Mao Zedong praised Marshal Xu Xiangqian's character very much. After the "Cultural Revolution", Mao Zedong had a more comprehensive understanding of Marshal Xu Xiangqian. After the "September 13" incident, Mao Zedong held Xu Xiangqian's hand and praised him, "Good man, good man."
9, Nie Rongzhen
Marshal Nie Rongzhen achieved fruitful results during the Red Army period, during the War of Resistance Against Japan and during the War of Liberation, and had extraordinary revolutionary courage and military talents. After the founding of New China, he became a leader in national defense science and technology, and made great and pioneering contributions to the development of the motherland's national defense science and technology.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Nie Rongzhen established and developed the Jin-Cha-Hebei base, and built the Jin-Cha-Hebei base into a model base, which was praised by Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong once said humorously: "Wutai Mountain has Lu Zhishen in front of it, and now Nie Rongzhen. Nie Rongzhen is the new Lu Zhishen."
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong twice commented on Nie Rongzhen as a "kind man".
1958, at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, Mao Zedong said: "Nie Rongzhen is a kind person."
In late July 1967, when Mao Zedong reviewed the list of personnel attending the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Army Day in the South during his inspection tour, he once again said: "Nie Rongzhen is a kind person."
The word "kindness" has rich meanings. It contains all the humility, sincerity, openness, courage to take responsibility, and strict self-discipline that Marshal Nie Rongzhen possesses. It is a high evaluation of Marshal Nie.
10. Ye Jianying
Mao Zedong's evaluation of Marshal Ye Jianying is "not confused about big things."
Marshal Ye Jianying has a firm belief in and is loyal to the cause of the Party. He always stands up at critical moments, in extremely complex and dangerous situations, turns the tide and plays a role.
During the Long March, because Ye Jianying reported the message in time, Mao Zedong was able to escape and the Red Army was saved. Mao Zedong admired Marshal Ye Jianying's wisdom and talent very much. He borrowed the self-entry quote from the Ming Dynasty thinker Li Zhi to praise Ye Jianying for " Zhuge only cautious in his life, and Lu Duan is not confused about major issues."
Mao Zedong said: "Comrade Ye Jianying made great contributions at the critical moment. He saved the party, the Red Army, and the people of us."
