After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the top ten marshals were selected, all of whom had made risks for China's reform and liberation cause, but there were also batches of heroes who sacrificed for reform, they did not wait for the founding of New China, but they should not be forgotten by history
Let's take a look at Xiang Ying's influence first.
Xiang Ying is one of the early leaders of the party and the Red Army, as early as February 1931, Xiang Ying has been the chairman of the ** Military Commission, it can be said that he is in an important position, at this time Xiang Ying has been with *** and others to build a team, in October 1934, the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression failed, the Red Army decided to go on a long march, led by Xiang Ying to fight to the death in the Jiangxi-Guangdong border guerrilla area, ** marshal cooperated. Note that the founding marshal of the Republic is to cooperate with Xiang Ying to carry out various work, and Xiang Ying is the main leader, although ** was injured at this time and is not suitable to lead the battle, but it is not difficult to see that Xiang Ying is higher than ** in terms of position and influence.
Let's take a look at Xiang Ying's qualifications.
During the Long March, Xiang Ying was responsible for staying behind, continuing to confront the Kuomintang army, this task was not easy, the main problem they faced was to survive, Xiang Ying not only survived with the wounded and sick, but also gradually expanded the revolutionary territory of the Red Army through guerrilla warfare, and finally founded the New Fourth Army with Ye Ting and others, Ye Ting also did not evaluate the marshal for various reasons, we are comparing it with **, at this time Ye Ting served as the commander of the New Fourth Army, Xiang Ying served as the political commissar and deputy commander of the New Fourth Army, and ** served as the commander of the first detachment of the New Fourth Army,** The marshal said here: Deputy Army Commander Xiang, with his historical position in the whole party, has made the guerrillas in the eight southern provinces an iron force. In the future, he cooperated with Commander Ye to make the reorganization successful, which was the key to the establishment of this army. It can be seen that Xiang Ying was not only above the top of the ** at that time, but also admired by the **.
Finally, let's look at Xiang Ying's strategic approach.
The famous Southern Anhui Incident in history was caused by the inconsistency between Xiang Ying's strategy and ** strategy, ** Ye Ting advocated eastward and northward, Xiang Ying advocated sticking to southern Anhui, and finally because Xiang Ying did not go east to the north, delaying the opportunity for the backward development of the New Fourth Army, so Xiang Ying assumed the main responsibility because of the Southern Anhui Incident, so Xiang Ying had serious deficiencies in strategy and tactics compared with **.
When the People's Republic of China was founded, *** asked *** if he was willing to be a commander. **Say: Chairman, you know me, I'm not handsome. I can manage my family, but I can't be a handsome ....... So as far as Xiang Ying is concerned, I think he is treated the same as ***, not suitable to be a commander, a good comrade who "lifts weights like light", if he does not die, he will definitely hold a heavy position in the party, and may even be one of the leaders. It's a pity that a generation of heroes was eventually betrayed by traitors and died.
