There are a total of 1,614 founding generals, including 10 marshals, 10 generals, 57 generals, 177 lieutenant generals, and 1,360 major generals.
So how many of these founding generals have reached the level of vice-national level or above? "Vice-national-level" is the abbreviation of national-level deputy positions. Of course, "vice-national" not only has positions, but also benefits. There is a special situation, that is, some people do not have deputy state-level positions but enjoy vice-national treatment. This article mainly talks about "vice-national" positions.
1, the founding marshal
The top ten marshals all reached the deputy national level, and there were also Marshal Zhu De, Marshal Lin Biao, and Marshal Ye Jianying who reached the national level.
2. Founding general
10 Founding generals are quite special. According to the grading and treatment regulations at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the founding marshal belongs to the third level of administrative level and enjoys the treatment of members of the Politburo; founding generals enjoy the treatment of administrative level and the treatment of deputy prime minister. Soldiers above the general can be said to be at the level of national leadership. So from the perspective of political treatment, since the 10 generals enjoy the treatment of the vice premier, they are naturally at the vice-state level, and Zhang Yunyi and generals enjoy the treatment of the third level of the party just like the marshal.
But if the founding general has reached the deputy national position, then the situation is different. First of all, the first general, Su Yu , was elected as vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress at the second meeting of the fifth National People's Congress on July 1, 1979. Although he came very late, this was a vice-state-level leadership position.
Secondly, Huang Kecheng General was elected as a member of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Secretary of the Central Secretariat in 1956. He was the first among the generals to reach a deputy state-level position. Then, General Luo Ruiqing became Vice Premier of the State Council in April 1959, and in September 1962, Luo Ruiqing was appointed Secretary of the Central Secretariat. In January 1965, Luo Ruiqing was appointed as Vice Chairman of the National Defense Committee. There is no doubt that he is the most responsible person among the founding generals and the most respected person at the vice-national level.
is also the general Tan Zheng . In 1956, he and General Huang Kecheng served as secretary of the Central Secretariat at the same time, and were also the first generals to reach a deputy national position. Finally, there is Xiao Jinguang general. In June 1979, Xiao Jinguang was elected as Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress.
Therefore, to summarize, 5 of the 10 founding generals have reached the deputy national position, but none has reached the national level.
3. Among the founding generals
57 founding generals, 22 have reached the deputy national position. They are Wang Zhen, Ulanfu, Song Renqiong, Yang Dezhi, Zhang Aiping, Xiao Ke, Xu Shiyou, Su Zhenhua , Chen Xilian, Xie Fuzhi, Ye Fei, Huang Yongsheng , Tao Zhiyue, Dong Qiwu, Han Xianchu , Hong Xuezhi, Wei Guoqing , Lu Zhengcao , Xiao Hua, Yang Yong, Yang Chengwu , Zhou Chunquan .
In addition, it should be noted that there are three founding generals, Wang Ping, Fu Zhong, , and Song Shilun, , who served as Standing Committee members of the Central Advisory Committee. Friends who are familiar with the history of the Party should know that the Central Advisory Committee was established in 1982, referred to as , and two committees were formed in the ten years from 1992. According to the provisions of the Party Constitution, "Committee members can attend the plenary meeting of the Central Committee; its deputy directors can attend the plenary meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee; when the Central Political Bureau deems necessary, the Standing Committee members of the Central Advisory Committee can also attend the plenary meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee." Therefore, the level of the Standing Committee members of the Central Advisory Committee is roughly the same as that of the alternate members of the Political Bureau of the Political Bureau. The three founding generals, Wang Ping, Fu Zhong and Song Shilun, can also be said to have reached the vice-state level.
and General Zhou Chunquan are quite special. He entered the Politburo in the era of revolutionary war. Moreover, General Zhou Chunquan was the first founding general to enter the Politburo. In June 1935, the First and Fourth Front Army of the Red Army met. At the Shawo Conference in August, Zhou Chunquan was added to a member of the Central Committee and a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. Mr. Zhu always entered the Politburo in January 1934. He was the first founding general to enter the Politburo, and Zhou Chunquan was the second.
In addition, no one among the founding generals reached the national level.
4. Among the founding lieutenant generals, a total of 9 people reached the vice-national level. They are Liao Hansheng, Li Zuopeng, Qiu Huizuo, Yu Qiuli, Wu Faxian, Zhang Zhen, Qin Jiwei, Sai Fuding Aizezi , Apei Awang Jinmei.
None of the founding lieutenant generals reached the national level.
5, founding major general
1360 founding major generals, 5 of them reached the vice-national level. They are Li Desheng, Wang Dongxing, Liu Huaqing, Zhang Tingfa, and Deng Zhaoxiang. Among them, Li Desheng, Wang Dongxing and Liu Huaqing reached the national level, which is very rare, because no one among the founding generals, generals and lieutenant generals reached the national level.
There are also Major General Zhang Tingfa and Major General Deng Zhaoxiang who are probably not known. They have also reached the vice-state level, especially Major General Zhang Tingfa, who once had a high status in the military system and within the party. Zhang Tingfa, from Shaxian, Fujian Province, was born in 1918. He joined the Red Army in 1933 and died in 2010. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of major general and served as political commissar and commander of the Air Force, a member of the Central Military Commission and a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Advisory Committee, and a member of the 11th and 12th Central Political Bureaus. In the army, he served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission and entered the Politburo within the Party. This is very amazing. Compared with General Su Yu, General Su has never entered the Politburo.
Deng Zhaoxiang is also a very special founding major general. On February 25, 1949, he and the patriotic officers and soldiers of the Kuomintang held the "Chongqing Uprising" that shocked China and the world at Wusongkou , and joined the ranks of the People's Liberation Army Navy and made outstanding contributions to the construction of the Chinese People's Navy. In September 1955, the patriotic general was awarded the rank of major general.
On April 1, 1903, Deng Zhaoxiang was born in Gaoyao County, Guangdong Province (now Duanzhou District, Zhaoqing City). He seemed to be born for the navy. He has been studying the navy since he was a child. He has studied in Huangpu Naval School, Wusong Naval School, Yantai Naval School, and Nanjing Torpedo Gun School since he was 11 years old. In January 1930, he went to the Royal Naval Academy of Greenwich and the British Naval Torpedo School to study torpedo, navigation, signal, guns and other majors. After returning to China in 1934, he served in the National Revolutionary Army Navy and almost never left the navy. He is a rare professional. After coming to the people, he also made great contributions to the naval cause of the New China, conscientiously and conscientiously made great contributions to the 71-year naval career. From June 1983 to March 1998, Deng Zhaoxiang was appointed Vice Chairman of the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He was re-elected as vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for three terms and died in Beijing on August 6, 1998 at the age of 95.
Finally, let’s summarize. Among the founding generals of
1614, 6 people who achieved national positions include Zhu De, Lin Biao, Ye Jianying, Li Desheng, Wang Dongxing and Liu Hua, and 48 people who achieved national positions include Su Yu and others. To sum up, 54 founding generals reached the vice-national level or above.
