One day in 1976, an old man was sitting in a car and thinking.
"Ye Shuai! We arrived at Premier Hua's doorstep. ”The guard reported in a low voice.
***, who returned from his thoughts, looked up and saw *** standing at the door of his house to greet him.
**I couldn't help but feel relieved in my heart,** opened the car door and walked to the living room with him.
Then after the two exchanged pleasantries, ** asked two questions in a row.
"What is your current approach to statecraft? ”
"Now that several leaders in charge of the overall situation in China have passed away, how are you going to arrange your positions now? ”
He leaned over slightly and looked at *** After answering without hesitation, his face was filled with excitement, and he applauded repeatedly.
So why did the two intersect? **How can you answer to make Ye Shuai react like this?
In 1976, the country was eventful, and the prime minister died of illness at the beginning of the year.
The power of the "Gang of Four" in China has become more and more rampant, and many people in the party have been affected.
At this time, who will preside over the overall situation of the country has become a question, and everyone in the party knows that the prime minister will be the first comrade.
However, after thinking about it repeatedly, *** chose another person-
When everyone heard about this decision, there was an uproar, and some people discussed"*Didn't this person just be transferred, and I haven't heard of any political merits in him, who is he?" How did you get promoted? ”
As the name of *** entered people's field of vision, his deeds were slowly known.
**He is a native of Liancheng County, Shanxi, and his original name is Su Zhu.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he was determined to devote himself to the anti-Japanese revolution after receiving patriotic education since he was a child, and he joined the "Chinese Anti-Japanese Salvation Vanguard" in his hometown. ”
In order to show his determination to resist Japan and save the country, he changed his name to ***
In October 1938, because of his initial achievements, he became a Communist Party member under the introduction of Li Bolin.
He successively served as a special commissioner of the Fenyang County Sacrifice League, director and political commissar of the Jiaocheng County Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Federation.
He has always actively propagated the party's anti-Japanese proposition, and his political consciousness is very high, and he is often able to mobilize the masses and establish anti-Japanese mass organizations.
He always kept up with the pace of the local revolution, led the masses to reduce rents and interest rates, expand production, and made a lot of contributions to the local revolutionary cause.
At the beginning of 1949, ** was promoted to the head of the propaganda department of the first local committee of the southward detachment, and followed the PLA southward.
In February, he was appointed secretary of the Xiangyin County Party Committee in Hunan Province, and was later transferred to Xiangtan County as secretary.
After arriving in his hometown, he actively carried out mutual aid and cooperation in rural areas.
In 1955, he wrote three articles on agriculture based on his deedsI couldn't help but sigh after reading his article"Comrade * is very conscious of being a party member, he personally led the local agricultural movement, and the article is written very realistically. ”
Immediately, *** specially met *** when passing through Hunan
**Seeing that *** was dressed very plainly, and when it came to agricultural issues, he had a good impression of him.
** He has been working diligently and has been campaigning for the lives of the vast number of peasants until after the Cultural Revolution, when he was affected.
**I have always appreciated*** said during the Great Revolution in Hunan"Comrade has always been an honest and honest person, dedicated to the masses, he has withstood the test of ***, he can't be defeated, I think *** is still leftist." ”
After some remarks, he was promoted to the first secretary of Hunan Province, and at the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he was elected as a member of the first committee.
Since his transfer, he has always been a little uncomfortable working at the grassroots level, and whenever he encounters a problem that he can't do, he goes to look for it
**After getting along with him many times, I am more satisfied with him and feelHe cares about the motherland and the people, and is a doer.
In 1975, he was appointed Deputy Prime Minister.
It wasn't until a letter of appointment came down that ** officially walked to the center of political power.
As the factional struggle within the party intensified, the Gang of Four, who could not win over ***, became anxious.
At this time, his body became weaker and weaker, and he often fell into a coma, and after many rescues, he was finally unable to return to heaven and passed away on September 9, 1976.
* The leaders put all their energy on the funeral work, but at this time, the "Gang of Four" began to do everything possible to seize power, they intended to empty the CCP and take the entire country into their own hands.
The person who presided over the ** affairs felt deeply in crisis, so he began to seek some senior leaders in the party to unite to crush the "Gang of Four", and he joined forces with ***, who was the chairman of the **Military Commission
**Ye was born in the late Qing Dynasty, and was influenced by the Xinhai Revolution when he was a teenager, so he followed Mr. Sun Yat-sen to devote himself to the cause of the democratic revolution.
During this period, he participated in many wars against warlords, and later participated in the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy.
At this time, it was the first period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and during his tenure at the school, he came into contact with Marxism and wanted to join the Communist Party.
After that, in the Northern Expedition, *** began to emerge, heVery military talented, but also very smart,He often anticipates things like a god, and the battles he commands can be won by a lot.
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek, in a vain attempt to seize full power, began a vigorous pursuit of the Communists.
After learning about it, he immediately "sent a message against Chiang", and secretly became a Communist Party member in July of that year. began to borrow power in the Kuomintang as a cover for our partyDuring this period, he saved many revolutionary backbones of the Communist Party.
In 1928, he was sent by the party organization to study at the Soviet Communist Labor University, and after returning to China, he served as chief of the general staff, commanded three "anti-encirclement and suppression" wars, and made great contributions to the strategic transfer of our army's Long March.
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he used his military mind to command many battles, and he also attached great importance to the construction of our army and put forward a number of measures.
During the War of Liberation, he commanded and commanded the campaign to liberate Guangdong and Hainan Island, and won the final victory in the South China battlefield.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has been working for the revolutionary cause of our country, not only during his tenure of office, but also exterminated local bandits and helped local peasants carry out production activities.
In 1959, because of his indelible contributions to the military, he was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission.
Until the advent of the Cultural Revolution, he repeatedly spoke out in public against the "Gang of Four's" struggle for power and profit in China.
During this period, he went through twists and turns, and he was slandered by the "Gang of Four" out of thin air and was suspended.
But *** has always insisted that the current situation is only temporary, and ** will not give up on his own.
In 1976, it was decided to be appointed as the prime minister.
**Three words opened the dusty memory of ***, he had a brief contact with *** under the arrangement of *** in his early years, but he didn't know much about it.
He didn't know if the newly appointed *** who was in charge of the overall situation was related to the "Gang of Four".
But *** has always believed in *** words,He felt that he should find out about it
After his nephew Ye Ying reported Xiong Xianghui's evaluation of ***, he heard that *** did not follow the current trend to criticize ***, and he felt that *** this person was extraordinary.
It wasn't until what happened later that he completely changed his opinion of ***. By July*** was seriously ill, and the Politburo urgently convened a meeting to discuss the matter.
The "Gang of Four" at the meeting, for the sake of their own power, drafted a notice that *** is in stable condition and can preside over the overall situation.
** Strongly opposed, he thought that this could not be the case, and that this sentence should be deleted, so he and the "Gang of Four" began to argue with each other.
It wasn't until the two sides choked late at night that the *** who had been sitting and watching at this time spoke: "Okay, you're almost done, let's break up." ”
After an hour, the *** who saw the notice found that the sentence was not written, and couldn't help laughing.
Later, after many observations, he felt that *** was a good comrade, and he was by no means a first-class "Gang of Four".
**decided that he should go and meet ***, and he immediately called***"Premier Hua, can I visit you today?" ”
** Immediately said happily after hearing it"Ye Shuai, I'll go see you!" ”
Immediately replied"There's a lot of eyes on you right now, if you come to see me, it's too eye-catching, so I'll go!" ”
The *** who heard the news had to give up, until the two high-ranking people finally met on this day.
The two started a conversation after sitting on the sofa, ** said: "You are now the prime minister, there are too many things to preside, I am too old to help you now".
**After hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Ye Shuai, you have made a lot of achievements for our countryA well-deserved marshal of the people,After the chairman asked me to take office, I was afraid that I would not do well, so I put all my energy on it, and I did not dare to disturb you for fear of delaying your recovery, and I hope you will give me more advice in the future. ”
Very relieved to hear this, he cleared his throat and said"What is your current approach to statecraft? ”
said: "Give an outline and grasp two eyes." To give an outline, it is the class struggle as the key link; To grasp the two goals is to boost the national economy and maintain stability and unity. In that era when the class struggle had to be "talked about every year, every month, and every day," it was inevitable to put forward the class struggle as the key link; However, the promotion of the national economy and stability and unity are often regarded as right-leaning. ”
Hearing that *** has such a big picture, ** said excitedly: "Well said! ”
Then he asked again"Now that several leaders in charge of the overall situation in China have passed away, how are you going to arrange your positions now? ”
**No hesitation in answering:"Unless instructed by the chairman, I will not make arrangements without permission. ”
The two then began to discuss the matter of the "Gang of Four" in China, and this conversation made *** very satisfied with *** and shouted"*'s vision is really good! ”
On September 9, 1976, while the whole country was still in the mood of the death of a great man, the "Gang of Four" privately set up a standard image for coming to power, concocted an inaugural speech, instigated some people to write "letters of allegiance" and "letters of persuasion", and issued ** ammunition in Shanghai to prepare for an armed rebellion.
At that time, *** saw this scene, so he summoned ***, Wu De, ** and others to analyze the situation in the party at that time.
They realized that the "Gang of Four" was using their own power to arrange their own people in the ** committee, and if they used moderate means, if they wanted to hold a meeting to vote on them, then it would most likely not succeed.
Thinking about it, *** said: "Under the current situation, many places in the country are controlled by them, and they use their last wishes to make rafts to guide a lot of people to resist us, they all have cannonballs, once we send the army to suppress them by force, it is very likely to hurt innocent people, which is absolutely impossible." ”
** said: "We need to win some comrades who can win to support us, and we need to take some tough measures when necessary. ”
At the meeting, it was unanimously agreed to adopt the proposals of *** and ***, and finally decided to implement the "Gang of Four".Decisions and actions of segregated reviews.
From October 7 to 14, 1976, the Politburo held a greeting meeting attended by leading cadres from various regions, at which a series of counterrevolutionary deeds committed by the "Gang of Four" were exposed.
It was not until October 15 that the conspiracy of the armed uprising of the "Gang of Four" was completely crushed, and the day finally dawned in China.
This news instantly spread throughout the country, and people were overjoyed when they learned about it, and the whole country was overjoyed.
