Ye Shuai was born in Meixian County, Guangdong, and is an authentic Hakka family. Those who are familiar with the generals of our party know that most of the generals and marshals are from poor families, but Ye Shuai is different, he is one of the few revolutionary generals from a local big family, and in that era of chaos and frequent wars, he enjoyed a good life and educational resources.
Throughout Ye Shuai's life, he began to serve as a staff officer in the army from his youth to his later years, and he had more than a dozen experiences as chief of staff.
Beginning in 1920, Ye Shuai began to follow Mr. Zhongshan's revolution and fight against warlords, at that time in the team held the position of a midshipman staff officer. After Chen Jiongming's mutiny, Ye Shuai was ordered to go to Fujian to serve as a staff officer on the East Road to fight thieves and then promoted to the commander of the staff brigade, this year Ye Shuai was 25 years old, it was the first time in his life to serve as the chief of the general staff, it is worth noting that the post of chief of staff has been equivalent to a general in many cases, Ye Shuai has reached such a high position in less than a year, which shows that his ability is strong.
Those who have read "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army" may have the impression that in 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12 counter-revolutionary coup", Ye Shuai was in the enemy camp of Zhang Fakui and Wang Jingwei, constantly transmitting important information to the outside world, and resolutely telegraphed against Chiang at a critical moment, choosing to stand with our party, it can be said that the success of the Nanchang Uprising in August was due to Ye Shuai's great credit.
After the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising, Ye Shuai went to the Soviet Union to study under the arrangement of **, and after returning to China in 1931, he went to the **Soviet District to serve as the chief of the General Staff of the Military Commission. During the entire period of the Red Army, Ye Shuai served as chief of staff in various positions as many as eight times, and during this period, he also participated in and commanded several anti-encirclement and suppression operations, protected the security of the base areas, and won a favorable environment for the development of the revolution.
After the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression officially began, in order to unite the forces of all parties to unite the united front, Ye Shuai has been active in the dangerous national control area, and in the middle of the strategic stalemate stage, he returned to Yan'an again, this time still serving as the chief of staff of the ** Military Commission.
Throughout Ye Shuai's life, his resume is very rich, and his experience is also legendary, although there are many positions, but it is also the nature of the work of various chiefs of staff in a state of continuous promotion, except for between 1949 and 1954, after the liberation of Guangdong, he stayed in the local area to serve as the chairman, mayor, commander of the military region, etc.
In 1955, at the award ceremony, Ye Shuai became one of the top ten founding marshals, although he was at the bottom of the ranking, but Ye Shuai has always held important positions in the army, such as Minister of National Defense, Chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, etc., and also led the country back on the right track of development during the critical period, becoming the greatest hero of the country's critical period, in June 1983, at the first meeting of the Sixth National People's Congress, Ye Shuai was officially appointed as the vice chairman of the Military Commission.
The marshal was the eighth of the top ten founding marshals and the only northerner among the top ten marshals, he was born in Wutai County, Shanxi, and is also a cadet of the first phase of the Huangpu Military Academy. Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention that Xu Shuai may be the most serious time in Chiang Kai-shek's life, Xu Shuai did not say a word, nor did he deliberately curry favor, and he always looked honest and unwitty in front of people, which did not arouse Chiang Kai-shek's interest, but Chiang definitely did not expect that such a person he looked down on at the beginning became the biggest nemesis of the Kuomintang army in the War of Liberation.
The Red Army period was the highlight moment of Xu Shuai, he became the commander-in-chief of the Red Fourth Front Army early, good at employing people and good at fighting, and he was a fairy battle that won more with less. If General Su Yu was a victorious general in the War of Liberation, then Xu Shuai was a well-deserved god of war during the Red Army.
In the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, Xu Shuai served as the deputy commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, commanding many important battles at that time. The first battle was to lead the People's Liberation Army back to his hometown in Shanxi, and Xu Shuai's military command ability in Jinzhong, Taiyuan and other battles once again played an important role. Many generals in our army evaluated Xu Shuai as the person who was the best at fighting.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Shuai served as the first chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation ArmyIn 1966, he became the vice chairman of the Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, and in 1978, he served as the vice premier and minister of national defense. In June 1983, he began to serve as Vice Chairman of the People's Republic of China. Xu Shuai's prestige in the army is extremely high, he is both the chief of the general staff and the founding marshal of the defense minister, it is worth mentioning that during the Anti-Japanese War, Xu Shuai had the experience of partnering with Deng Gong during his tenure at 129 o'clock, when Deng Gong was the political commissar of the 129th Division.
Nie Shuai, ranked ninth among the top ten founding marshals, was born in Jiangjin, Chongqing in 1899, and was half a fellow countryman with Deng Gong, both of whom were born in Sichuan and ChongqingDuring their study in the Soviet Union, the two formed a deep friendship in a foreign country. Nie Shuai participated in the revolution earlier, joining the Communist Party in 1923.
During the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, Nie Shuai assisted General Ye Ting in launching the uprising as a party representative, and then continued to go south to Guangzhou to continue to participate in the fighting. In 1931, Xu Shuai served as the chief of staff of the ** Military Commission, and also served as the commander of the North China Military Region during the Liberation War.
Nie Shuai is the first famous lucky general of our army, and he has not been injured for many years in the war, as a rare commander in our army, his ability is beyond doubt. However, in 1955, when the military rank was assessed, some people questioned Nie Shuai's appointment as marshal, believing that his military command ability was not strong, and he was even inferior to General Su Yu. However, in the face of absolute strength, everything seems a little blank, Nie Shuai is ranked among the marshals by virtue of his own experience and ability, he is one of the few people who has witnessed the development history of our party, our army and our country from beginning to end, even if he does not care about military merits, Nie Shuai is also a well-deserved marshal.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, unlike Xu Shuai and Ye Shuai, who have been serving in the armyNie Shuai's battlefield is in the development of the country's national defense science and technology, and the successful launch of two bombs and one satellite has made Nie Shuai's contribution indispensable. In 1983, Nie Shuai began to serve as the vice chairman of the ** Military Commission, he was the latest of the ten marshals to die, died on May 14, 1992, until the last moment of his life, he was still thinking about the cause of national defense and the development of socialism.
Between the chairman of the Military Commission of Deng Gong and the vice chairman of the three marshals, there is also a position of executive vice chairman, which is indeed higher than the vice chairman in terms of rank and status, and this executive vice chairman is Yang Shangkun, many people may feel a little unfamiliar when they hear his name, but Yang Shangkun's life can be regarded as being in a high position in a low-key manner.
Unlike Deng Gong's resignation, nor was it conferred around 1988, Yang Shangkun's lack of military rank is really no military rank, so why can he be above the three marshals and become a higher-level executive vice chairman? In fact, Yang Shangkun's experience is not as ordinary as we see, as early as the Red Army, his position was equivalent to Nie Shuai, he was the political commissar of the Red Third Army Corps, and he was the hardcore partner of Mr. Peng, of course, since he is a political commissar, it is very easy to explain why there is no military merit, and Nie Shuai is different from the military and political hands, Yang Shangkun is a full-time political leader.
In the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, he followed Mr. Peng to devote himself to the construction of the base area, and did not officially return to Yan'an until 1941, and has been engaged in confidential work. During the War of Liberation, he served as the Secretary-General of the Military Commission, the Director of the General Office, and the Deputy Secretary-General, assisting in handling the daily work of the Military Commission
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Shangkun is one of the important leaders in the center of national power, serving in confidential positions all the year round, participating in the discussion and decision-making of major national affairs, and serving as the director of the General Office of the People's Republic of China, the secretary general of the Military Commission and other core positions.
In 1989, with the approval of the ** Military Commission, our army announced 33 senior commanders who can be called military strategists, and Yang Shangkun's name was impressively ranked before General Su Yu, which shows that although he has no outstanding military merits, if he participates in the awarding of titles, it will definitely not be too low.
Yang Shangkun also became executive vice chairman of the Central Military Commission in 1983 and was elected president of the People's Republic of China at the first session of the Seventh National People's Congress in April 1988. Yang Shangkun died in Beijing in 1998 at the age of 92.
In addition to the above-mentioned vice-chairmen of the Military Commission, in the ranks of the founding marshals,At that time, there was still a *** marshal alive, why didn't he become the vice chairman of the Military Commission? In fact, it is mainly due to Liu Shuai's health, during the Liberation War, Liu Shuai's health was not very good, and in the peaceful years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, although he did not need to continue to fight, he could not bear too heavy tasks.
According to the usual practice, the post of chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army also needs to be held by the marshal, like Ye Shuai, Xu Shuai, Nie Shuai have all held this position, only Liu Shuai does not have this experience, it is ** to take care of him, ** Vice Chairman of the Military Commission is the same, in 1983 Liu Shuai was over 90 years old, even if there was no physical problem, there was no energy to undertake the work, especially at that time China was in a period of recovery, the work was heavy and complicated, Liu Shuai had already resigned from his position in ** and went home to recuperate.
Position and rank have never been the only criterion for judging a person's ability, whether it is Deng Gong, Comrade Yang Shangkun or the three marshals, they all came all the way from the Red Army period, but they are engaged in different jobs and division of labor.
