After the award, Marshal Zhu De s military rank number was 004,00160 years later, the truth is revea

When it comes to the most senior people in the army of the People's Liberation Army, everyone will inevitably think of Mr. Zhu and others. Among them, Mr. Zhu is even more"Father of the Red Army".reputation.

In the award ceremony after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Zhu was awarded the rank of marshal for his outstanding military exploits. He is at the top of the list of China's top ten marshals, but he is such an army leader with outstanding contributions, and his rank number is only 004.

At that time, the people had the impression that the numbers 001-003 should be Comrade *** and Comrade Shaoqi respectively, but since they did not participate in the evaluation of military ranks, this matter was just a guess.

It wasn't until 2015 that the comrades of the editorial department went to Marshal **'s house to collect historical information, only to find that the original No. 001 rank number turned out to be Mr. He.

So, what happened at the investiture ceremony that year?What kind of revolutionary contribution does it have to the Party and the revolutionary cause?

On September 26, 1955, ** was smoking a cigarette in his residence, he recalled every important moment in the revolutionary war, remembered the various experiences along the way, and remembered the countless martyrs who died in the revolutionary war.

On this day, *** stared at the report on the nomination of the top ten marshals, and he was thinking about how to arrange the ranking of the marshals to be more reasonable.

The most special of the many numbers is "001". Who should belong to this particular number is the reason why the chairman tossed and turned and stayed awake all night.

After Ye Zilong urged repeatedly, ** finally wrote 001 on a military rank appointment certificate.

According to our conventional logic, "001" means the head of all marshals. Judging from the nominations of the top ten marshals, the one most qualified to get the 001 number is definitely the ** marshal.

* is the oldest, the most senior, but also the most prestigious, he followed *** in Jinggangshan in the early years to create the famous "Zhu Mao Red Army", and he once participated in the Nanchang Uprising, and led the work of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army during the War of Resistance against Japan, and achieved a brilliant victory.

During the War of Liberation, he assisted in commanding the nation's war. Among the many battles, Mr. Zhu guided the "Shimen Battle" to a complete victory, and the tactical tactics of this battle are still talked about today.

At that time, Mr. Zhu personally came to the front line, and he gave detailed guidance to the siege troops, successfully conquered the first big city, and accumulated experience for the liberation of the big city later.

Because of this, everyone thinks that the number 001 should be the ** boss. But what people didn't expect was that Mr. Zhu's rank number was only 004.

So who will be the first three people in line?Some have speculated that it should be *** and *** Chairman.

During the events of the investiture ceremony, something interesting happened. Next, let's take a look at the basis of people's speculation at the time.

On February 8, 1955, the sixth meeting of the Standing Committee of the First National People's Congress passed the Regulations on the Service of Officers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

The regulation clearly states:

The Supreme Commander-in-Chief who has made outstanding contributions to the creation of the National People's Armed Forces and the leadership of the National People's Armed Revolutionary War shall be awarded the rank of Generalissimo of the People's Republic of China.

At the same time, senior generals who have made outstanding contributions to the creation and leadership of the people's armed forces or the operation of campaign corps will be awarded the "rank of marshal" of the People's Republic of China.

** As an important leader of the party and the state, he led the revolution throughout China and could well be awarded the rank of "Generalissimo".

So the relevant personnel in charge of this work at that time wrote *** into the list of awards.

Soon, the list was presented to ***'s case. After careful consideration, ** thought that it would be better for him not to accept the rank of generalissimo and leave this place to a more suitable person. At the same time, the chairman of the committee also publicly stated at the meeting that he did not want to nominate the "rank of marshal".

However, most people at the time insisted that the chairman should be awarded the rank of "generalissimo". In a report, everyone once again raised the relevant matters related to the award of the chairman, and after listening to the report, the chairman said emotionally:

"It's a very important job for you to do the award, and it's also a complicated job, and you need to take into account all aspects. I don't want to be the generalissimo, and it's not convenient for me to wear the generalissimo's ** to speak among the people. ”

**After listening to the chairman's words, he immediately said that he did not want to comment. Subsequently, he asked comrades *** and *** and several other comrades who were originally in the list of awards. Because the chairman suggested that those who worked in the localities should not be evaluated for the rank of marshal, and took the lead in saying that they would renounce the rank of generalissimo, they also said that they should not be evaluated!

When some readers saw this historical material, they could not help but be moved by the noble feelings of the revolutionaries of the older generation.

**Of course, I know the benefits of being a generalissimo, but considering that there are many problems in the evaluation of military ranks, some people think that their military ranks are set low, and the existence of these problems also leads to the fact that the work of determining military ranks has always been difficult and difficult.

The chairman and the leader of the leadership of the "no evaluation of military ranks" move undoubtedly brought a good start to the whole party and the whole army, and everyone began to obey the decision of the first and no longer add trouble to the party's work.

However, in the end, since the chairman did not accept the rank of generalissimo, he did not accept the rank number of 001. So who will end up with this 001 rank number?

There are different opinions on this issue, and there is no consensus. It was not until 2015 that the comrades of the editorial department of the PLA went to the home of the ** marshal to uncover the mystery. In the collection of information, they found that the number "001" was given to the ** marshal at the award ceremony.

At that time, the comrades who collected the information still thought it was incredible, they confirmed each other, and some comrades even rubbed their eyes with their hands, repeatedly making sure that they were not mistaken, but the number "001" was indeed awarded to the ** marshal.

This caused people to be puzzled, judging from the ranking of the top ten marshals, ** only ranked fifth. How did the marshal get this special honor?

Next, let's take a look at the experience of the **gay legend!

In 1896, ** was born in a peasant family in Hongjiaguan, Sangzhi County, Hunan. Like most of the people in the country at that time, the life of **'s family was also very difficult.

*'s father, Ho Shidao, worked as a tailor in addition to farming. He often made clothes for others to earn money to support his family. He is very bold, ambitious, and has the ability to take care of the house.

Moreover, He Shidao dared to confront the local rich and inferior gentry, and this courage and fearlessness made him prestige in the village.

* is the fourth child in the family, he has three older sisters, two younger sisters and a younger brother.

* He was born at the time of the defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War and the wanton partition of China by the imperialist powers. The corrupt Qing ** can endure the insults and trampling of foreign enemies, but he ruthlessly suppresses and tramples on his own people. Living in this environment, a revolutionary "seed" has long been planted in my heart.

The "seeds" of this revolution broke through the ground when he was 18 years old. He joined the Chinese Revolutionary Party at that time under the introduction of Chen Tunan, and he believed in Sun Yat-sen's doctrine of the Three People's Principles, and since then embarked on the road of democratic revolution led by Mr. Sun Yat-sen.

After joining the revolutionary party, ** studied hard and enriched himself with Xi knowledge, while secretly developing the masses, and even organized the masses to make a revolution, for which he was also arrested and imprisoned by the local authorities!

In 1915, the profit-hungry Yuan Shikai attempted to establish an "Yuan Shikai Empire", which caused an uproar across the country. In order to oppose the Chinese Empire established by Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat-sen immediately issued the famous "Declaration of Seeking Yuan", and contacted the armed forces of various provinces to carry out a campaign to protect the country and fight against Yuan.

The Chinese Revolutionary Party in Hunan also took immediate action, and at this time received the task of mutiny in Nisha Town, Shimen County.

He immediately responded to Sun Yat-sen's call, smashed the local police station and established the "Xiangxi Yuan Independent Army". This incident also made the reputation of ** gradually louder.

In August 1917, Sun Yat-sen convened an extraordinary session of the National Assembly. He organized the "Chinese Army" in Guangzhou and became the generalissimo. At the same time, he also put forward the idea of opposing Duan Qirui's unification of the whole country by force.

After hearing about it, he immediately gathered hundreds of people to form the "Xiangxi Army". After organizing his manpower, he led his soldiers to fight against the Beiyang warlords and won a great victory.

And just when **'s revolutionary cause was thriving, his superiors detained and incorporated his revolutionary team for their own selfish interests, and ** was also taken into prison. However, how could the wise and brave ** let himself be detained?He quickly figured out a way out of prison.

The ** who was released from prison couldn't understand why his boss would stop him from making a revolution and detain himself

At this time, Wu Yulin, the niece and grandson of his former revolutionary comrade-in-arms Wu Peiqing, came to Changde to join him. **Asked Wu Yulin why he came to him, Wu Yulin said that he hoped to follow ** rob the rich and help the poor, and eat a mouthful of food.

After listening to his intentions, ** explained with a smile that what he wants now is not only to rob the rich and help the poor, but also to fight the world for the poor and the people, he hopes that the poor people will no longer be oppressed and bullied, and hope that they can eat enough with their hard-working hands.

Wu Yulin was very moved after hearing this, he excitedly took out the two kitchen knives hidden on his body, and firmly expressed his willingness to go to the knife mountain and the sea of fire for **, and follow him to fight the world for the poor.

* He was amused by this stunned young man, he knew that this young man was really following him to do the revolution. So the two talked about revolution on the mountain path.

At this time, **found that a few people gathered around a county lord's sedan chair to walk in the direction of Changde, after the county lord took office, not only did not think about the people, but scavenged the people's fat and people's ointment, ** was not used to it, plus those people just had guns, ** and Wu Yulin totaled to snatch the gun.

They used two kitchen knives to kill the group and seized two rifles. This act of righteousness was not only harmful to the hearts of the local people, but their stories soon spread throughout the village.

Subsequently, he and Wu Yulin embarked on a new revolutionary journey, and ** also made a name for themselves in Hunan with the story of two kitchen knives. He reorganized the revolutionary ranks and became a brave general in the ranks led by Sun Yat-sen.

During the period of the democratic revolution, he came into contact with Marxist ideology and gradually strengthened his belief in following the party. During the Northern Expedition, he took the lead and made great achievements.

In 1927, he was appointed commander of the Twentieth Army. In the same year, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei rebelled against the revolution, and the Chinese Communist Party decided to launch an armed uprising in Nanchang.

On July 31, 1927, he attended a meeting of the headquarters of the 20th Army, at which it was decided to launch an armed uprising at 2 a.m. on August 1.

In the afternoon of the same day, a general meeting of officers was held to mobilize all the commanders and fighters to participate in the uprising with him.

That night, **, in the name of the commander-in-chief, ordered the road to be blocked, traffic cut off, and the alert detachment entered a combat state.

On August 1, our party fired the first shot of the armed uprisingChiang Kai-shek was very shocked, and they began to mobilize troops to encircle and intercept our revolutionary troops in an attempt to prevent our army's movements.

In 1935, the fifth "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang deprived our army of its revolutionary base areas. In November of the same year, ** led the troops on the road of the 25,000-mile Long March.

After going through hardships and hardships, they finally arrived in northern Shaanxi, and ** and Comrade *** will meet for the first time in the near future.

In the winter of 1936, when I arrived in northern Shaanxi for a period of time, I went to the cave where I lived under the leadership of relevant personnel.

**Comrade has heard about it for a long time**"Two kitchen knives make a revolution".'s heroic story, the two hit it off at first sight. During the conversation, **spoke highly of** the correct command in the Long March. He said, ** leadership of the red.

The Second and Sixth Front armies were 10,000 before the Long March, and when they came out, they were still more than 10,000, which was a victory. This experience is worth summing up!

On July 7, 1937, Japan launched the "Lugou Bridge Incident". According to the agreement signed between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, it was decided to reorganize the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

In September 1937, the 120th Division held a reorganization and anti-Japanese pledge meeting in Zhuangli Town, northern Shaanxi. When the soldiers in the audience heard that they were going to change out of their Red Army uniforms, they were silent. Seeing the soldiers not moving, ** naturally knew that these heroic revolutionary fighters were not only reluctant to wear clothes, but also reluctant to their revolutionary beliefs.

In order to dispel the concerns of the soldiers, ** mentioned that he had worn the Kuomintang hat and the officer's uniform, but the Kuomintang betrayed the revolution and betrayed the people, so he hated it very much and took off the Kuomintang military uniform

However, now is the time of national crisis, and he himself is willing to wear this Kuomintang military uniform for the sake of the party and the people. He emphasized that it is not important what clothes you wear, but what matters is the faith and direction in your heart. The fighters very much agree with **.

In the end, ** said in an astonishing way:

As long as we follow the party, follow *** Lao Tzu is to wear floral pants!

** Great attention was paid to mobilizing the local people to wage a people's war, and the number of troops in the 120th Division increased by leaps and bounds, from more than 8,000 to more than 20,000.

However, at this time, there was still controversy within the party about the implementation of the mountain guerrilla strategy, and some people led by Wang Ming advocated it within the party."Everything goes through the united front, and everything obeys the united frontthoughts.

The transmission of this order became a stumbling block for the 120th Division, and everyone did not dare to let go of the masses, and even more did not dare to implement the mountain guerrilla strategy.

Seeing this situation of the troops, he was very anxious, and at a meeting he attacked Wang Ming's wrong line. and said that for the Kuomintang to implement".If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend, but if anyone sins against me, I will offend."Moreover, the troops should continue to carry out the correct tactics of Comrade *** with indomitable progress.

Some cadres felt that **'s statement seriously deviated from the party's line, and they reported their opinions to ** and signed a report letter. Afterwards, Guan Xiangying, the political commissar of the 120th Division, who had signed the report letter, thought that it was inappropriate for him to do so, so he went to Yan'an to find ***

Knowing his intentions, he denied the action of writing the report letter and said:

There are three precious things, the first is loyalty to the party;The second is to fight the enemy ruthlesslyThe third is to be able to connect with the masses at all times. ”

Comrade was very moved, and he said to the comrade who sent the horse:

"I have received Mr. He's gift, but Mr. He always likes to run forward when he fights in front, and he needs a thousand miles. Please rest assured, Mr. He, I can walk as a car!”

Under the leadership of the first, New China Sports has embarked on a new stage. **Some of the initiatives proposed have also improved the quality of all citizens!

In view of Mr. He's immortal exploits in the revolution, the chairman felt that the military rank number 001 was well deserved.

In the long revolutionary war, ** had already tied his fate with the fate of the party. His life was as the chairman commented:"Loyalty to the party!”
