ForewordIn 1955, the first award ceremony of New China was officially held in Zhongnanhai Huairen Hall, and then the list of awards was revealedcame to Chiang Kai-shek's hands, he looked at the list of top ten marshals in front of him and was a little silent, and only said after a long time:
"Only ** can be called a marshal, and the others are at most generals!”Chiang Kai-shek is naturally not qualified to comment on the ranking and title of the top ten marshals of New China, but why does he respect the ** marshal so much, and what is the relationship between the two?Why did Chiang Kai-shek say that the other nine marshals could only be called generals?
Mr. Zhu's famous record is"Nanchang Uprising",Before the outbreak of the Nanchang Uprising, Mr. Zhu did not have any prominent status, and at this time he resigned from the post of army commander in order to find a revolutionary road.
After returning to China after acquaintance with ***, he found a position as the director of the Public Security Bureau, in order to seek a future plan, as the former commander of the Guangdong ArmyHow capable is Mr. Zhu, as the director of a public security bureau, able to mobilize the two armies of the Kuomintang.
During the Nanchang Uprising, Mr. Zhu took more than 100 people from the Public Security Bureau to join the uprising troops, but he did not get the attention of othersAt that time, the soldiers did not have any great ambitions, and this army was scattered, and it was a big deal to change another one, as long as they could earn a living.
Within the Communist Party, Mr. Zhu has no team and is not taken seriously, but he is willing to do itHe knew that only the Communist Party could save this dilapidated and decaying countryCompared with the Communist Party, within the Kuomintang, as a former army commander, Mr. Zhu is very open.
A director of the Public Security Bureau who can mobilize two armies, Mr. Zhu successfully entered Lao Jiang's line of sight and got his attentionKnowing that he could become one of his biggest threats in the future,After the Nanchang uprising troops were dispersed, it was Mr. Zhu who turned the tide, and the remaining rebel troops were here.
Not only used guerrilla tactics to repel the invading enemy army, but also expanded all the way, successfully came to Jinggangshan to meet with ***, retained the important revolutionary fire of the Nanchang Uprising, and established Mr. Zhu's position in the party in one fell swoop, and there has been since then"Vermilion Red Army".
In the eyes of others, Mr. Zhu does not have any dazzling achievements, but in the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek, Mr. Zhu is the anchor of the Red ArmyThe Kuomintang's first four anti-"encirclement and suppression" operations against the Red Army all ended in failure under the excellent command of Mr. Zhu and ***.
Mr. Zhu was born in the old warlord, and his background is almost the same as that of Lao Jiang, and the two did not have any intersection when they were young, just like living in life"Two parallel planes", but they are all moving towards the same goal.
Mr. Zhu is one year older than Chiang Kai-shek, both of them are high-achieving students who graduated from military academies, and they both chose to join the army to serve the country after graduationMr. Zhu joined the Guangdong Army with the goal of protecting his family and defending the country, and fought all the way in the Guangdong ArmyHe participated in the ** war initiated by Mr. Sun and worked hard to maintain the Chinese revolution.
After graduating from the military academy, Chiang Kai-shek entered the Sichuan Army with the help of his family's connections, followed Cai Yi to participate in the Protectorate War, and drove Yuan Shikai awayThe two did not intersect in the army, and developed separately.
At the age of 35, Mr. Zhu had already become the commander of the army and a general who had experienced a hundred battles, and on the other hand, Chiang Kai-shek also became the commander of the Guangdong Army by virtue of his ability and family connectionsWith the development of the time, it is possible that the two will intersect with each other and enter the Kuomintang.
But with the official establishment of the Communist Party, although this party is very young and has not been established for a long time, it shines there like a piece of goldIt is the future of China, and only a truly patriotic person can discover the light it exudes.
Mr. Zhu is the one who wants to bring China back on the right track and let the Chinese people live a good lifeIn 1922, Mr. Zhu submitted an "application for joining the party" to the ** Bureau, and Chen Duxiu was very surprised to see this application for joining the partyBecause Mr. Zhu's status is very high.
It took less than a year from the founding of the Communist Party of China to Mr. Zhu's submission of the application for joining the party, and many people with lofty ideals joined our partyBut none of them were in a high position like Mr. Zhu who submitted the application.
At this time, *** was still running around for food and clothing, and went to the Peking University Library as a librarian under the introduction of the teacherMr. Lu Xun, a literary master, can only be fed by one family, and he is taking care of his younger brother's family.
At this time, Mr. Hu Shi, who was a teacher at Peking University, and Mr. Chen Duxiu, who was the secretary of the ** Bureau at the time, and other Peking University professors were only about 100 oceansOn the other hand, Mr. Zhu, who is the commander of the army, has a monthly military salary of 2,000 oceans at this time, and Mr. Zhu is not the kind of ** who is greedy for military spending, otherwise there will be more in a month.
In this way, it was already the top group of people in China at that time, if Mr. Chen Duxiu agreed to Mr. Zhu's application to join the party at this timeThen the Communist Party of China may have its own armed forces in advance, after all, Mr. Zhu represents an armed force.
can see the application for joining the party, Chen Duxiu is very entangled, entangled in his identity, he is one"Warlords",The Communist Party's standard for accepting people at that time was, firstly, the toiling masses in society, in order to let the poor live a good life.
The other is the aspiring young man who has been baptized by the revolutionary wave, and the body, mind, and mind have been enlightened and awakened to serve the country"Communist Party".
I can't guess who he is and what he is trying to doChen Duxiu finally rejected Mr. Zhu's application to join the partyBecause neither the people at that time nor we can understand now why Mr. Zhu abandoned his glory and wealth to join a new political party.
Mr. Zhu wrote in his memoirs:"When I became the commander of the army, there were warlords fighting all over the country, and there were wars everywhere in the country, but there was no result in the fighting, and there was no way out for countless poor people."
"How can such a revolution succeed when the people who made the revolution became rich and rich, but the revolution ended in failure and the revolutionary cause was left behind”
Faced with the predicament at that time, Mr. Zhu unexpectedly learned about the Communist Party of China, which made him see a glimmer of hope in the future of New China in his dark heart, with the spread of Marxism-Leninism to ChinaWith the official declaration of the victory of the October Revolution and the victory of the May Fourth Movement under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, Mr. Zhu saw the direction of the victory of the revolution.
Looking at the internal struggle of the Guangdong army, Mr. Zhu decisively resigned from his post and went abroad to study, learning Xi Xi advanced ideas and military knowledge at the same timeIn order to accumulate experience for the subsequent command of military struggles, Mr. Zhu traveled all over the world in order to find a real future for China.
His efforts soon paid off, and in Europe he met a group of people who studied abroad, and they had a conversation with the same revolutionary ideasAs the introducer of Mr. Zhu's joining the party, he successfully joined the Communist Party of China.
Mr. Zhu is always a veteran that Chiang Kai-shek admires the most, and he has repeatedly asked Mr. Zhu's former boss Zhu Peide to bring Mr. Zhu overHowever, in the face of Chiang Kai-shek's wooing, Mr. Zhu was naturally unmoved, and the so-called Tao was not the same.
In the army with Mr. Zhu's sitting, ** is also very relieved, when our army encounters some difficult battles, ** will invite Mr. Zhu out of the mountain, as the saying goes:"There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure", countless famous generals have walked out from Mr. Zhu.
The famous Chen Su army, ** Marshal and General Su Yu followed Mr. Zhu's rebel troops to Jinggang MountainZhu Mao's Jinggangshan division naturally could not hide from Chiang Kai-shek's ears and eyes, and the Kuomintang army sent troops to Jinggangshan many times, but they were all defeated by Mr. Zhu's excellent military command.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek, a cautious man, offered rewards to three senior leaders of our armyMr. Zhu and Xu Shuai, one person has 100,000 yuanEven so, in the face of the cooperation and negotiation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Mr. Zhu was not afraid to go alone.
During the negotiations, Chiang Kai-shek made no secret of his admiration for Mr. Zhu, and when he learned that he was older than himself, he also called Mr. Zhu respectfully"Brother Jade Rank".After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Zhu's monthly living expenses of 600 yuan subsidized the children of martyrs, and he lived a tight life.
On the other hand, even if Chiang Kai-shek was defeated and fled to Taiwan, he still lived in a mansion and ate fine clothes and food, which is the difference between Lao Chiang and Mr. ZhuOne is only for himself, the other for the country and the people, in the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek, he is worthy of the title of "the marshal of a country".
