As we all know, ** loves to read, especially likes to read history, and what few people know is that ** is also familiar with the twenty-four histories. Among the top ten marshals, he has no outstanding military exploits, but he has a unique skill, and every time at a critical juncture, he can turn things around, which others cannot reach.
Today, we're going to talk about ***
Born into a family of butchers
**Born in 1897 in Meizhou, Guangdong, in a butcher family, his grandfather and father both killed pigs and sold meat for a living, and his father was admitted to Wu Xiucai. In 1916, after graduating from high school, *** went to Malaysia via Shantou, Hong Kong, and Singapore to join his uncle. After that, he got a job as a Chinese language teacher in an elementary school. In this year, the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall founded by Yunnan warlord Tang Jiyao went to Malaysia to recruit students, so he went to Yunnan Lecture Hall to study in 1917 and obtained the rank of second lieutenant in army artillery after graduation.
Tang Jiyao appreciated him very much and hoped that he could be used for himself. Tang Jiyao's political advocacy was for inter-provincial autonomy, while Sun Yat-sen advocated the unification of China by force. ** Not optimistic about Tang Jiyao's ideas, he refused his invitation, ran from Yunnan to Guangdong, defected to the Cantonese army that supported Sun Yat-sen, and joined the Kuomintang.
In 1921, ** was appointed battalion commander of the Marine Corps. In June 1922, Chen Jiongming betrayed Sun Yat-sen, attacked the ** Mansion in Guangzhou, and guarded Sun Yat-sen on the Yongfeng ship, and fought for more than 50 days before Sun Yat-sen was able to leave by **. This is the first time that he has made a significant contribution to the Chinese revolution.
By the time the Whampoa Military Academy was established in 1924, he was already the chief of staff of the Second Division of the Guangdong Army, and the Kuomintang veteran Liao Zhongkai personally asked him to serve as the deputy director of the Whampoa Military Academy.
This year, ** married Feng Hua, a medical worker, in Guangzhou, and gave birth to her eldest son Ye Xuanping and her eldest daughter Ye Chumei, Ye Chumei's husband is Chinese Vice Premier Zou Jiahua.
There is no future with Chiang Kai-shek
When the Northern Expedition began in 1926, Chiang Kai-shek, commander of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, appointed him chief of staff of the General Reserve Command of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Of all the generals of the Northern Expedition, ** was the only one who could meet Chiang Kai-shek with a sword.
After the Northern Expeditionary Army arrived in Nanchang, Chiang Kai-shek appointed *** as the acting commander of the Second Division of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army. The *** who gets along with Chiang Kai-shek day and night can see that Chiang Kai-shek respects himself on the surface, but in fact he is very petty, and he has no future with him.
In 1927, the "April 12 Counter-Revolutionary Coup" took place,* and immediately issued an anti-Chiang manifesto and fled to Wuhan. As soon as he arrived in Wuhan, he was invited by Zhang Fakui, commander of the Fourth Army, to serve as the chief of staff of the Fourth Army.
Join the Communist Party
Zhang Fakui is a fellow villager in Guangdong, who is bold and very righteous. Although the main officers of the Fourth Army, including Zhang Fakui, were of the Baoding department, the Cantonese army from the Yunnan Military Academy and Huangpu instructor was regarded as an outlier.
At that time, there was a trend of studying abroad in Wuhan, and many people wanted to study in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and they also wanted to get out of this depressing environment. I heard that Deng Yanda, a colleague of the Whampoa Military Academy, had a way, so I went to him, but Deng Yanda politely refused.
When I was depressed, I met Li Shi'an, a fellow countryman who was the chief secretary of the Wuhan Public Security Bureau. **knocked on the side and asked him that he was a secret member of the Communist Party of China,** told Li Shi'an that he wanted to join the Communist Party, and Li Shi'an reported the situation to the Minister of Central Affairs, which was approved by *** and secretly joined the Communist Party.
Save the Nanchang Uprising
In July 1927, Wang Jingwei held a meeting in Lushan in the name of the Eastern Expedition against Chiang. According to the intelligence, Ye Ting and ** in the second division commanded by Zhang Fakui were preparing to mutiny, Wang Jingwei asked Zhang Fakui to deceive Ye Ting and ** to go to Lushan and seize the military power of the two, and Zhang Fakui discussed the plan with the chief of staff. ***, who learned of this situation, immediately reported to ** and Ye Ting. ** He Ye Ting drove the army to Nanchang overnight and launched the Nanchang Uprising. This is the second time that he has made a major contribution to the Chinese revolution.
After the outbreak of the Nanchang Uprising, the rebel army went south to Guangdong to prepare to open up a base area. Zhang Fakui decided to send troops to pursue, and ** offered a plan to let the rebel army and the Guangdong Li Ji Shen Sandpiper List compete, and Zhang Fakui profited. Zhang Fakui adopted this "clever plan" and canceled the pursuit. Xue Yue became suspicious of ***, so Zhang Fakui confronted *** face to face, and *** flatly denied that he was a communist. ** took advantage of Zhang Fakui's trust in himself to deceive Zhang Fakui.
At the end of 1927, ** took advantage of the turf competition between Zhang Fakui and Li Jishen to launch the Guangzhou Uprising. After the Guangzhou Uprising, Zhang Fakui was unlucky, and the rebels were all Zhang Fakui's subordinates. So the national ** counted all the accounts on Zhang Fakui's head. In the years that followed, he was almost not credited and was sent to fight bloody battles on the anti-Japanese front.
In 1949, Zhang Fakui took refuge in Hong Kong. In the 50s, ** also secretly came to Hong Kong to visit him.
In December 1927, after the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising, ** disguised himself and took a boat to Hong Kong, where he lived in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon. During his refuge in Hong Kong, he bought a history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and studied it with great devotion.
In the winter of 1928, with approval, ** went to the Soviet Union to study in a special class at the Eastern University in Moscow, and two years later, in 1931, **returned to China and entered the **Soviet zone to assist *** and *** in the fight against encirclement and suppression.
** He once joked that he was the chief of staff of the Red Army.
Smash Zhang Guotao's conspiracy
During the Long March in 1935, ** did not participate in the famous Zunyi Conference, because he was not qualified to participate in the Red Army at that time.
In mid-June 1935, the Red Army and the Red Fourth Front Army met in Maogong, and at the time of the meeting, the Red Army had only more than 10,000 people, and the Red Fourth Front Army numbered 80,000. At that time, in order to act in unity, a meeting of the Politburo was held at the mouth of the two rivers, and it was decided that all of them would go north to resist Japan. But Zhang Guotao relied on the fact that there were many people and many guns, and he asked for power from *** and did not implement the policy of going north. On September 9, Zhang Guotao sent a secret telegram to Chen Changhao to endanger the party and the Red Army, which said: "Go south and thoroughly carry out the struggle within the party. Fortunately, this secret telegram was intercepted by ***, then chief of staff of the Right Route Army, who saw through Zhang Guotao's conspiracy and immediately reported that *** at an emergency moment, **with** the Red Army went north first. "If you weren't careful, you would have had a fight. * Speaking at an enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China held in Yan'an.
This is the third time that he has made a major contribution to the Chinese revolution.
Fighting on the intelligence front
After arriving in Yan'an, he worked with *** for a long time to fight on the intelligence front. In 1936, ** served as the representative of the Communist Party of China in the Northeast Army, and other warlords knew that Zhang Xueliang was friendly with the Communist Party, and they also approached Zhang Xueliang to obtain information, which made Zhang Xueliang very proud. In the later Xi'an Incident, ** also played an important role in the peaceful settlement of the incident.
In 1937, during the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, the 40-year-old *** served as the chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army. After that, he did ** intelligence work in the Guotong Region with ***, and was not recalled to Yan'an until 1941. ** As the deputy minister of the ** Ministry of Intelligence of the Communist Party of China under Kang Sheng as the minister, he used his past connections to carry out a lot of ** work.
** Played an important role on the intelligence front and the propaganda front. During the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he obtained military intelligence, contacted people from all walks of life, and took over Beijing without a single soldier, serving as the first mayor of Beijing.
At the end of 1949, he returned to Guangzhou and was appointed Chairman of the People's Republic of Guangdong. At that time, the Kuomintang was defeated, the spies of Pingjin, Shanghai and Nanjing, the Military Command Investigation Bureau, the Secret Bureau, and all kinds of immortals gathered in Guangdong, the society was complicated and the law and order were chaotic, and it was not news that the southbound cadres were robbed.
Fortunately, he has work experience in the intelligence system, and he appointed Chen Kun as the deputy director of the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, Chen Kun was the person in charge of the CCP's intelligence system in Hong Kong, he is familiar with the situation in Guangzhou, and uses the forces of three religions and nine streams to make public order in Guangzhou City improve rapidly. Through Cheng Yiming, the head of the Macao station of the Red Secret Bureau, he obtained the roster of hidden spies in Guangzhou, wiped out the hidden spy system in Guangzhou, and carried out a special operation codenamed "Hong Kong and Macao Politics and Law".
Crush the "Gang of Four".
In August 1952, ** was transferred out of Guangdong and appointed as the Minister of Supervision of the Armed Forces of the People's Liberation Army and Vice Chairman of the National Defense Commission. When he left, many people were left in tears.
Since then, ** spent time in the mountains and rivers, during which he wrote a lot of poems and songs.
In the early 60s, **at a meeting in Beidaihe, I gave *** a sentence:Zhuge has been cautious all his life, and Lu is not confused about major matters
** Shrewd, resourceful, no great feats, no selfishness, and good relations with all parties.
In 1966, he was appointed vice chairman of the Military Commission.
After his death, he seized the opportunity to sit in Zhongnanhai and arrested **, Wang Hongwen, Zhang Chunqiao, and Yao Wenyuan. This is the fourth major contribution to the Chinese revolution.
After that, he actively promoted the comeback of ***, forming a pattern of *** assisting***. **Support the implementation of some reforms, such as opening up to the outside world, introducing foreign investment and technology pilots, and resuming the college entrance examination in the Special Economic Zone, which is very busy.
The soul returns to its homeland
In 1980, Zhang Fakui died of illness in Hong Kong at the age of 85. Marshal ***, chairman of the National People's Congress, who has experienced the vicissitudes of the world, thinks of this person who treats him like a brother, and his heart is sad. The most precious thing in the world is not fame and fortune, but true feelings, he called Zhang Fakui's family: "I was shocked to learn of the death of General Xiang Hua, I accidentally mourned, the nostalgia of the old righteousness, the nostalgia of the time, sent a special telegram to the letter, Shang Xi mourned." ”
In 1985, at the age of 88, he retired voluntarily and died in Beijing the second year. At that time, several of his widows were still alive, and after the discussion of the Politburo, the overall situation was the priority, and all the widows did not attend the memorial service. ** The speech said, ** At the major historical turning point of the party and the country, he has repeatedly made meritorious deeds.
According to his last wishes, the ashes of ** were placed in the Guangzhou Uprising Martyrs Cemetery in Honghuagang, Guangzhou, which is the place where the hot-blooded young man fought for his ideals.
