971, Ye Jianying officially took over the military and political power.
coincided with a special period and did extraordinary things. Marshal Ye Jianying lived up to his responsibilities. Although was ordered in the face of danger, it eventually turned the tide and made China stabilize again.
Logically speaking, Marshal Ye Jianying should be in power , but when the Chairman died, why did he hand over the most important military power to an unknown Chen Xilian ?
Who is Chen Xilian? Why can he be favored by the Chairman? Is it true that all this is Chen Xilian’s conspiracy as rumored? Is he just trying to seize Marshal Ye’s military power? What is the fact of
? Let’s talk about it one by one.
Ye Jianying
Shihuan
When it comes to the theory of changing the coach, we must first introduce Marshal Ye Jianying.
As the vice chairman of the Military Commission , he not only needs to manage all matters of the army, but also always keep a clear mind and arbitrary.
The army admired him in full bloom. company Chairman Mao also praised him as the Zhuge Liang and Lu Duan in the People's Liberation Army.
Let me add a sentence here, Lu Duan is a famous minister in the Song Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Taizong. He is famous for his unrestrained power and position in later generations.
Chairman Mao, Ye Jianying, Deng Xiaoping (from right to left)
At that time, Song Taizong highly appreciated Lu Duan and wanted to promote him to Prime Minister , but this move was strongly opposed by many ministers.
"Your Majesty, Lu Duan is confused, how can he take on this big task?"
But Emperor Taizong of Song felt that although Lu Duan was confused about small matters, he was not confused about big matters at all. and even many times his confusion was to take the overall situation into consideration .
. Chairman Mao praised Marshal Ye in the name of the ancients, which was not only an affirmation of Marshal Ye, but also a high praise for him, working hard for the motherland, "devoting his wholeheartedness and death" .
Chen Xilian
especially shows that Marshal Ye can be selfless and recommend from outside, only to see if the other party can do the right thing and do good things. As for whether the rights in his hands are controlled by the other party, it is not what he considers.
Especially after the famous plane crash in 1971, the internal situation of the central and military forces was turbulent for a while, very complicated.
In this context, Marshal Ye Jianying accepted Chairman Mao’s appointment , and the Prime Minister’s Military Commission has great power.
With his outstanding decision and the full cooperation of Prime Minister in 2 weeks, the three armies calmed down and quickly calmed down all the instability caused by the crash.
Chen Xilian
In theory, Marshal Ye's power and reputation had reached the top at that time, but he supported , Deng Xiaoping, and many times during Prime Minister Zhou's serious illness, hoping that the Party Central Committee could entrust Comrade Xiaoping with important tasks, and had no intention of seizing power at all. Even the Chairman was deeply impressed.
But just when the chairman was in danger, he called Chen Xilian to take over the military power!
At that time, the news of was tantamount to a bombshell, and it was opposed by the Military Commission at that time. They believed that Chen Xilian was not enough to replace it in terms of qualifications and work ability.
Some people even believe that the Chairman was not conscious when he was dying and made such a decision.
Chen Xilian
You should know that since the Chairman participated in the revolution, has always been famous for his far-sighted and far-reaching image. Its immortal works such as " on the Protracted War ", " on Contradiction ", " on Practice on ", " on the Permanent ", etc. are like the sun and moon forever, and even today, it can still illuminate the direction we are moving forward.
If it weren't for him, how could our party have made the decision to surround the cities in the countryside? How could it be that the great cause of mobilizing the masses to seize power and finally establishing a new China?
But in 1976, The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China announced two major events , which instantly caused an uproar.
One is Hua Guofeng serves as acting prime minister . Everyone understands it here that Comrade Hua Guofeng’s qualifications and merits are indisputable, not to mention that he is a firm supporter of the Chairman’s thoughts.
Chen Xilian and Wang Jinshan
But the second Chen Xilian replaces Marshal Ye? : Use the lines of Johnnie To movie "Harmony is the most important" to , which means "Why should he be the person in this matter?"
, below, we will talk about Chen Xilian.
From soldiers to generals
Although Chen Xilian has a good resume, it depends on who he compares with. is comparable to other commanders of the same age, it is OK. But who is Ye Jianying? Chen Xilian's identity was indeed a bit inadequate when he touched Marshal Ye.
Chen Xilian was born in 1915 and lives in Gaoqiao Town, Hong'an, Hubei Province. He has been poor since childhood. At that time, Chen Xilian didn’t take any more meals every day, and he could starve to death at any time. Life was difficult.
Chen Xilian
Finally survived until the age of 14, Chen Xilian was influenced and baptized by communist ideal and joined Red Army .
When he was a recruit, he relied on his smart mind and extraordinary courage to capture the enemy's division commander alive. This experience and level are a real anti-Japanese war version of "Soldier Assault" .
In the following years, Chen Xilian followed the Red Army to fight south and north. He fought bravely, had a flexible and flexible tactics. He quickly gained the attention of his superiors, and he was promoted to the regiment commander.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, almost all air supremacy was controlled by the Japanese army, and the Japanese planes also caused great casualties to the anti-Japanese troops and the people.
Chen Xilian
At this time, in order to weaken the Japanese air force to a certain extent and create convenience for the anti-Japanese troops, Chen Xilian led his troops to sneak attack the Japanese airport .
At that time, the enemy never expected that our army would have such a bold move. Therefore, they were caught off guard by Chen Xilian, causing the entire airport to be destroyed.
According to statistics, Chen Xilian led his troops to blow up 24 enemy fighter jets in this battle, causing great damage to the Japanese army and greatly weakening the opponent's strength. Chen Xilian became famous for this.
But Chen Xilian did not stop there. He participated in battles of all sizes and has made great achievements in military achievements. Naturally, our party will not treat such talented people unfairly.
Deng Xiaoping
Not long after, the Central Committee appointed Chen Xilian as commander, and he is also one of the youngest commanders of our army. , and Chen Xilian, who was promoted, still had no intention of stopping.
Later, in order to attack the Japanese army's " cage policy ", our army launched the " Hundred Regiments Battle " under the command of Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai " , and Chen Xilian also made outstanding contributions in this war.
By the time of the Liberation War, Chen Xilian was even more powerful, defeating the Kuomintang's major generals , liberating many regions and cities, laying a solid foundation for the founding of New China.
The victories brought by these wars remain gloriously on Chen Xilian's life experience.
Ye Jianying
Maybe in the eyes of others, Chen Xilian is an excellent general with proper command and decisive killing. , but few people know that he actually has a tender side .
There was Dayu's flood control Three times but did not enter. In order to serve the motherland, Chen Xilian did not return home for eighteen years.
That was the story that happened in December 1947.
At that time, The Sixth Column of the Central Plains Field Army supported the front line operations, but because of the rugged terrain here and the continuous mountain roads, our army could only ask locals to help lead the way.
Ye Jianying
"This fellow villager, can you help us lead a way?"
" Yes, it's OK, but I can't walk too far, my mother is old and unable to move."
. The curious soldier asked about the situation at the fellow villager's home. Only then did they know that he was the only one in the fellow villager's home to take care of his elderly mother. Although there was an older brother on it, he joined the army eighteen years ago and has not been heard from it yet. .
Many soldiers were moved and decided to inquire about the whereabouts of his brother for the fellow villager.
but did not ask, but he was shocked when he asked. The older brother of the fellow villager actually called Chen Xilian. Love this fellow villager is actually the brother of the commander of the Third Column?
Ye Jianying and Premier Zhou
The soldiers later investigated and confirmed that he was really the commander's brother . So the soldiers quickly notified Chen Xilian, and Chen Xilian heard the news and hurried to meet them.
The family of three hugged their heads and cried bitterly, and the bystanders all burst into tears.
"Mom, are you doing well over the years? My son is unfilial and I haven't been able to come back to see you in these years. "
"Okay, we are all fine. With your brother taking care of me, you don't have to worry about your mother. My son is now the commander, and I'm happy! "
But Chen Xilian was in military affairs. After meeting in a hurry, he had to set out again and fight on the battlefield. But no one expected that Chen Xilian would receive the news that his mother was seriously ill when he was " Resisting U.S. Aggression and Aiding Korea ".
Premier Zhou, Ye Jianying, Bo Gu (from right to left)
Although Chen Xilian asked for leave to go home as soon as possible , but he finally failed to see his mother for the last time. On his way home, his mother suddenly passed away , and Chen Xilian also regretted for life.
So, why could Chen Xilian replace Marshal Ye Jianying in charge of military power?
is worthy of heaven and earth
After the founding of New China , only wanted to effectively implement the development strategy of strengthening the military and strong country. Relying on the army is not enough . Other troops are also urgently needed to grow and grow, and Chen Xilian is responsible for artillery.
How powerful is artillery? Those who have watched the movie " Changjin Lake " must be familiar with . The Lei Gong, who was called "father" by Wu Wanli and others, is artillery. He played a great role in the battle to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.
Premier Zhou and Ye Jianying
At the suggestion of the chairman, Chen Xilian officially became the commander of the People's Liberation Army artillery in April 1950.
He worked hard to govern the army and strictly govern the army. In just a few years, the artillery force had reached more than 300,000 , and ordered and received more than thousands of Soviet artillery and corresponding supporting equipment. It was truly developing the team!
Chairman Mao said without hesitation that it was a great blessing for the Chinese artillery to have Chen Xilian.
Ye Jianying and Premier Zhou
Hong Kong l5
1971, the crash of caused turmoil and uneasy in the central and military . Fortunately, Premier Zhou and Marshal Ye were ordered to preside over the overall situation in the face of danger and control the situation.
Therefore, after Premier Zhou passed away, Marshal Ye Jianying presided over the overall situation was almost the default situation for everyone . Who knew that a Chen Xilian suddenly appeared and replaced Marshal Ye.
Because of this, Chen Xilian was the reason why. The conspiracy theory of "snatching" Marshal Ye's military power began to spread and became popular. , and it was very popular.
But is this really the case?
Ye Jianying and Premier Zhou
In fact, letting Chen Xilian take charge of military and political power is the layout of the Chairman and Marshal Ye.
Marshal Ye was repeatedly injured in his early years and suffered many injuries for many years. Torture, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he worked diligently and became ill after overwork. At this time, he was already plagued by illness.
Not only Marshal Ye himself, but the Chairman of also did not want Marshal Ye to bear such a heavy burden after his death. At this time, Chen Xilian had long been promoted to a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission, and in terms of position, it was also the most suitable for him.
In addition, Chen Xilian was born in a poor peasant family and has always been absolutely loyal to the party and the country for many years. It is almost the best choice.
Chairman Mao and Ye Jianying
Why do you say it almost?
Because at that time, there was another candidate, that was Deng Xiaoping. The reason why Chairman Mao did not directly hand over the position of Vice Chairman of the Military Commission to Comrade Xiaoping was actually to protect him.
You should know that at that time Comrade Xiaoping was already the Vice Premier and Chief of Staff. If he promoted him again, he would be the one who showed his wood to the forest and would definitely be destroyed by the wind. It would be difficult for him to return to the front line to work and take power in the future.
Chairman hopes that after the storm is completely over, Comrade Xiaoping will regain the military and political power, and lead the Central Committee and the Military Commission to move forward, rather than becoming the first to be targeted by all parties.
Chairman Mao and Deng Xiaoping
This point, Marshal Ye immediately understood the Chairman's intention, so he took the initiative to resign . From then on, he basically no longer intervened in the military affairs, but only participated in some central meetings.
After that, everything will be carried out step by step according to the Chairman's plan.
On December 12, 1973, Chairman Mao took the initiative to convene a Politburo meeting and arranged for the commanders of the eight military regions to conduct a switch. Chen Xilian became the commander of the Beijing Military Region.
returned to the center of rights, Chen Xilian immediately received the reuse of , and the final facts were enough to prove that the Chairman's vision was not wrong.
Chairman Mao and Chen Xilian
Chen Xilian has been conscientious in the four years he presided over the work of the Military Commission and did not disappoint everyone's expectations at all.
Moreover, He also actively maintains close contact with Marshal Ye at work. The two often get together to communicate work details . Marshal Ye often gives specific suggestions on Chen Xilian's work, and Chen Xilian naturally accepts it humbly.
Looking at the way the two of them get along, no one will mention that Chen Xilian is seizing power.
What's more, Chen Xilian's work was on the right track, and after the Central Committee and the Military Commission regained their vitality, he voluntarily resigned from the military commission's power, and did not show any greed for power or reluctance.
Deng Xiaoping
For him, this is just a task, a job. Since this job has been successfully completed, it is naturally a matter of success. As for what happened later, it is naturally left to those who came later.
At this point, Chen Xilian withdrew from the center of the stage and gave the protagonist's position to the chief engineer who had been waiting for many years - Comrade Xiaoping.
In 1981, Deng Xiaoping was elected as Chairman of the Military Commission and officially held great power.
and what about Chen Xilian? Then go back and enjoy life with peace of mind and spend your old age.
Chen Xilian
So the old saying is good, the road is far away and the horse's strength will be seen over time. Comrade Chen Xilian used his life to tell us what kind of person he was .
He is a person from a poor family, a strong and unyielding person, and always striving for progress.
Chen Xilian completed the country with his firm will, restrained wisdom, and his original aspiration and completed every task entrusted to him by the people.
is in his position and plans his politics, but in the end he is not greedy for power. We can believe that his heart always holds the oath he made when he joined the party at the age of 15. Everything serves the people! Truly worthy of heaven and earth.
Chen Xilian and his family
Isn’t it ridiculous for people like this to say that he seizes power?
