It is known that the total number of founding generals was 57. Among these 57 generals, Xiao Ke and Du Zhou Shidi were originally qualified to become marshals, but in the end they did not get the rank of general, why is this?
First, let's focus on Shaw. His military career is quite rich, graduated from the fourth phase of Whampoa, served as a company commander under Ye Ting during the Northern Expedition, and participated in the Nanchang Uprising. During the Red Army, Xiao Ke served as the commander of the Red Sixth Army and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Red Second Army, a position that was enough to be awarded to a general. However, he was ultimately unable to receive the title. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Xiao Ke served as the deputy commander of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, a position that could also be assessed as a marshal, while the deputy commanders of other divisions were awarded the title of marshal. Shaw's qualifications and position show that he has the starting point of a marshal, but why did he not end up being rated a general?
The main reason is that after the meeting of the Red 26th Army and the Red 4th, Xiao Ke "listened to and believed", stood on Zhang Guotao's side, and made some radical remarks, which caused a negative impact. After Mr. Zhu learned about it, he rushed to Ganzi overnight and explained to Xiao Ke the ins and outs of the dispute between "going south" and "going north", which made Xiao Ke change his attitude. He later recalled that he had made a "serious mistake" when he met in Ganzi, referring to this incident. Although after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Xiao Ke served as the deputy commander of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, but because he was never able to take charge of himself, his achievements were not significant. At the end of the Liberation War, he served as the chief of staff of the four fields. The combination of "serious mistakes" in the Ganzi Division, the lack of significant achievements during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and the low position in the War of Liberation led to Xiao Ke's final failure to defeat the general.
Looking at Zhou Shidi again, his qualifications are even richer, he graduated from the first phase of Whampoa and served as the captain of the ironclad team of Generalissimo Sun Yat-sen's mansion. During the Northern Expedition, he served as the commander of the first battalion of the Yeting Independent Regiment. When the Nanchang Uprising broke out, Zhou Shidi was the commander of the 25th Division. As for the position, the highest position of Zhou Shidi during the Red Army period was the chief of staff of the Red Second Front Army;During the Anti-Japanese War, he was the chief of staff of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the deputy commander of the Jinsui Military RegionDuring the War of Liberation, his highest position was the commander of the 18th Corps. In terms of military exploits, Zhou Shidi performed well, participated in many important battles and battles, and made countless military exploits.
However, although Zhou Shidi was enough to be a general in terms of qualifications, position, and military exploits, he was only awarded the rank of general in the end. The main reason is that after the defeat of the Nanchang uprising troops in Chaoshan, Zhou Shidi left the army and went to Hong Kong to report information to Li Lisan when he fell seriously ill and had to go to Nanyang for medical treatment, thus losing contact with the organization for four years. This experience affected his title to some extent, otherwise he would well have made it to the top 10 generals.
To sum up, the main reason why Xiao Ke and Zhou Shidi failed to become generals was that Xiao Ke made a "serious mistake" when he joined the division in Ganzi and his position was relatively low during the Liberation War, while Zhou Shidi lost his organizational ties for four years due to illness, which caused his title to be affected to a certain extent. The mystery of these two founding marshals has left a thought-provoking question in history.

First of all, for Xiao Ke, the article reveals that his "serious mistakes" in Ganzi became the main reason for his promotion. This historical event made him stand on Zhang Guotao's side and showed an overly radical attitude, which eventually led to Mr. Zhu's intervention and correction. This miscalculation of his political stance undoubtedly cast a shadow over his military career. Coupled with the insignificant military achievements and low position during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, he finally failed to become one of the founding marshals of the country with the general.
As for Zhou Shidi, although he was outstanding in terms of qualifications, positions and military exploits, after the defeat of the Nanchang uprising troops in Chaoshan, he left the team due to illness for four years and lost contact with the organization.
