Nowadays, when Wang Jiaxiang's name is mentioned, many people do not know it, but in fact, he is one of the outstanding leaders of the first generation of our party and our army, and the "* idea" was first put forward by Wang Jiaxiang.
In 1943, it was the 22nd anniversary of the birth of the Communist Party of China, this year, it was also the 50th birthday of ***, when someone proposed to celebrate the birthday of ***, **disagreed, one day in June, **found Wang Jiaxiang: "The 22nd anniversary of the birth of the party is coming, is it please write an article to commemorate the party's birthday?" ”
After Wang Jiaxiang received the task, he worked until the early hours of the morning every day, until a week later, he showed the article he had written, and in the article, there was this sentence: "In the whole process of China's national liberation——— the correct path of the past, present, and future ——— is Comrade ***'s thoughts, and it is the path pointed out by Comrade *** in his writings and practice." ** The ideology is Marxism-Leninism in China, Bolshevism in China, and communism in China. ”
This was the first time that the "** thought" was put forward until the Seventh National Congress in 1945, when the "** thought" was officially written into the party constitution.
Wang Jiaxiang is an important member of the first generation of leaders headed by the first generation of leaders, as early as the Soviet Union, Wang Jiaxiang and the first to form a deep revolutionary friendship.
In 1930, Wang Jiaxiang returned from studying in the Soviet Union and did propaganda work in Shanghai, in 1931, Wang Jiaxiang and Ren Bi were ordered to work in the Soviet Union, and one day in April, Wang Jiaxiang met him briefly conveyed the views of the leaders of the international communist movement on the Chinese revolution and Wang Ming's performance at the Sixth Congress of the Communist Party of China.
**Shaking his head while listening, he patted his pockets up and down, as if he was looking for something, Wang Jiaxiang took out the "Three Forts" cigarette and handed it to him: "Alas, it's a pity that there are only the last two left." ”
** smiled and said: "It's just right, let's eat it separately." Lighting a cigarette, he continued: "You are a scholar who has studied and eaten foreign bread, and you are familiar with the situation outside, and when our Soviet power is established, you can take on diplomatic tasks." At present, you can assist me in doing some political defense work. ”
At the end of 1931, the Chinese Soviet Republic was established temporarily, but soon after, due to the influence of the "Wang Ming line", the power fell and was forced to leave the leadership of the party and the Red Army.
In the Soviet area, Wang Jiaxiang saw the real phenomenon, anything that is done in accordance with the proposition of *** will be effective, and it will be counterproductive to do it according to Wang Ming's instructions.
In July 1932, at the invitation of him and ***, ** was appointed as the general political commissar of the Red Army, but the good times did not last long, and after the "Ningdu Conference" began, ** was criticized again and left the leadership position.
To the surprise of many participants, at this meeting, Wang Jiaxiang openly supported Comrade Jiaxiang and gradually realized that Comrade Jiaxiang's ideological and tactical principles have been proved effective by practice from several victories against "encirclement and suppression" and from the lessons learned from the attack on Ganzhou. The fact that the Red Army and the Soviet districts are where they are today is inseparable from the correct leadership of Comrade ***. ”
At that time, the meeting was "the minority obeys the majority,* and eventually left the leadership position.
During the fourth anti-encirclement and suppression battle, Wang Jiaxiang was unfortunately seriously wounded and was blown through the intestines by shrapnel.
The fifth anti-encirclement campaign failed one after another, and the Soviet area was repeatedly reduced, and Wang Jiaxiang was very angry about this: "How can you not lose the battle if you command the Red Army like Li De!" ”
In October 1934, the Red Army was forced to go on a long march, and Bogu wanted to leave Wang Jiaxiang to recuperate in the homes of ordinary people.
After the start of the Long March, it was decided to disperse the Politburo members in different corps, and when he objected, he proposed that he should be in the same corps with Wang Jiaxiang and Zhang Wentian.
Along the way, Wang Jiaxiang was injured on the stretcher, ** because of malaria, but also on the stretcher, the two can be said to be inseparable, after the battle of Xiangjiang, the Red Army from the initial more than 80,000 people, reduced by more than 30,000 people, Wang Jiaxiang is in a very bad mood, he thinks, if the Red Army is commanded by Li De and Bogu, I am afraid the result is very bad.
On December 28, 1934, the Red Army came to Huangping County, Wang Jiaxiang had a secret conversation with Zhang Wentian in an orange grove, Wang Jiaxiang: "Can you command like Bogu and Li De?" ”
At this time, Zhang Wentian was also very dissatisfied with the two of them, and immediately shook his head: "It's not okay to let Bogu and Li De command the troops again, or to come out!" He has more ways to fight than we do. ”
Zhang Wentian's words reached Wang Jiaxiang's heart, and the two of them immediately went to find the main leaders of each legion, and they unanimously agreed to come out to lead the Red Army.
A few days later, a meeting was held in the Monkey Farm of ** County in the northern Qianbei region, and at this meeting, everyone unanimously raised their hands to pass, changing the situation of Bogu and Li Deyiyantang, and this meeting laid a solid foundation for the convening of the Zunyi Conference.
In January 1935, after the city of Zunyi was occupied by our army, it was decided to hold an enlarged meeting of the Politburo in Zunyi.
At that time, Wang Jiaxiang, as an alternate member of the Politburo, attended the meeting despite his illness, and at the beginning of the meeting, Bogu made a summary report, overemphasizing objective difficulties and not admitting his military command mistakes.
** The first to disagree with the report made by Bogu, Zhang Wentian and others also disagreed, after that, Zhang Wentian made a report against the mistakes of the "left" military command, he criticized the blind command of Bogu, Li De and others, which caused heavy losses to the Red Army.
At the same time, he proposed: "Revoke Li De's military command, and ** should participate in military command." ”
The participants raised their hands in agreement.
After the meeting, he was elected as a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, with Zhang Wentian in charge of the overall responsibility, and in March, in order to facilitate military command, Wang Jiaxiang formed a "three-person group" to be responsible for the military command of the whole army.
A few years later, in a conversation with an American journalist, speaking of the Zunyi Conference, he said:"The Zunyi Conference could not have done without Wang Jiaxiang, and Wang Jiaxiang cast a key vote at the Zunyi Conference."
After the end of the Long March, Wang Jiaxiang was elected secretary of the Soviet Union, and in 1937, due to his illness, he went to the Soviet Union.
In 1938, Wang Jiaxiang returned to China, and soon after, the party organization convened the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee, at which Wang Jiaxiang conveyed the instructions of the Comintern and made important contributions to the establishment of his position in the party.
At the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1945, Wang Jiaxiang was elected as a member of the committee.
Yang Shangkun, then secretary general of the Military Commission, later recalled this incident, he thought there were two reasons, first: Wang Jiaxiang is a relatively withdrawn person, not close to the masses, people think he has a big shelf, in fact, he is a scholarly cadre, in the **Soviet District, he lacks communication with the cadres below, and people respect him very much, because he has this position, which is believed. I think that's one of his biggest drawbacks. ”
Second: the "Seven Congresses" is the liquidation of Wang Ming's line. According to the situation, he should be an important figure in Wang Ming's line, and because everyone lacks understanding of Comrade Wang Jiaxiang, many people put him and Wang Ming together and did not choose the first committee member."
In fact, although Wang Jiaxiang is an important figure in Wang Ming's line, he has long since broken away from the "Wang Ming line" after his experience in the Soviet area,* Zeng saidWang Jiaxiang was "a meritorious person, and he was the first in dogmatism to stand up for me."
Due to these two reasons, Wang Jiaxiang was ultimately unable to be elected as a member of the first committee.
**Knowing Wang Jiaxiang's situation, he cherished his talents, and immediately decided to help Wang Jiaxiang campaign, at the 20th meeting of the Seventh National Congress, **said: "Wang Jiaxiang made mistakes in the past, but he has merit. ”
** listed Wang Jiaxiang's contributions at a critical moment in history, so that everyone can better understand Wang Jiaxiang, and finally, ** concluded: "Yesterday the election of ** members, he was not elected, so the presidium made him the first candidate for the alternate ** member, I hope everyone will elect him." ”
After some words, everyone knows more about Wang Jiaxiang, and when selecting alternate members, Wang Jiaxiang was elected second.
When Yang Shangkun went to visit and comfort him, he smiled at Yang Shangkun and said: "Nothing, it's better if I didn't choose, my health is not good, and it's not good if I can't do more work." ”
His calm and easy-going attitude has been admired by many people.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Jiaxiang became the first Chinese ambassador to the Soviet Union, and since then, he has served as vice minister, director of the Foreign Liaison Department, and secretary of the country.
In 1974, Wang Jiaxiang died of illness at the age of 68.
