Enjoy the New Year
In October 1976, in the face of a dangerous emergency, ** and others took decisive measures to end the decade-long special period.
However, despite the end of the special period, China's economy and other problems in front of them are still severe.
The Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee in 1978 established the strategic decision to shift the focus of the work of the party and the state to socialist modernization and to carry out reform and opening up.
In order to implement reform and opening up in a down-to-earth manner, it is necessary for "old helmsmen" to play the role of anchors in the sea, and at the same time, it is obviously indispensable to promote and employ a group of cadres who are in the prime of life.
At the Sixth Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee in June 1981, he resigned from the two positions of chairman of the Communist Party of China and chairman of the Military Commission.
Of the two vacant positions, the former is filled by *** and the latter by ***.
And in the ranking of the Politburo Standing Committee, *** as the general secretary ranked first, **marshal second, **ranked third.
In fact, this ranking is not a big problem in terms of qualifications, status, merit, and position.
However, Ye Shuai disagreed with his residence before Deng Gong after seeing it, and asked to change it to *** first. But for this request, ** chose to refuse.
**, born in 1897 in Meixian County, Guangdong, 7 years older than Deng Gong. Its revolutionary experience has been tortuous, and its seniority is very old.
In his early years, he was influenced by the Xinhai Revolution, followed Mr. Sun Yat-sen to devote himself to the democratic revolution, and also participated in the battle to expel the Gui warlords.
And in 1924, he participated in the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy and held important positions, and it was at this time that he had already asked to join the Communist Party.
After the April 12 Incident in 1927, ** telegraphed against Chiang, and joined the Communist Party in July.
After that, he participated in and led the Nanchang Uprising.
Also in 1927, when Deng Gong had just returned from the Soviet Union, worked in Shanghai, and a year later served as the first secretary general of the Communist Party of China.
During the Nanchang Uprising, Ye Shuai played a key role and thwarted the enemy's conspiracy against Ye Ting and ** at the first time. After the rebel army withdrew from Nanchang, the warlord Zhang Fakui intended to pursue the rebel forces, and he stood up and urged Zhang Fakui to stop, so that the rebel forces would not be wiped out by the powerful enemy.
Four months after the end of Nanchang, he and Ye Ting launched the Guangzhou Uprising, which, together with the Nanchang Uprising and the Autumn Harvest Uprising, raised the initial ranks of the Red Army and ignited the spark for the revolution.
Since then, he has successively served as the chief of staff of the Red Army and the commander of the first column, and has been tested for a long time in the anti-encirclement and suppression battles and the Long March. When the troops were divided in the grassland, Zhang Guotao's conspiracy to attempt the ** troops was informed as soon as possible, and *** once again played a role at a critical moment.
After the Xi'an Incident, he actively assisted in rescuing the imprisoned comrades and promoted the development of the anti-Japanese united front.
During the period of the three major battles, he played an important role in the rear and stabilized the social order in the important cities of Beiping.
In October 1949, ** and Chen Geng sent troops to Guangdong, returned to their hometown with their troops, and liberated Hainan Island.
After that, he served in Guangdong for a long time, promoted the development of Guangdong, and was ranked among the top ten marshals when he was awarded the title in 1955.
During the special period, ** persisted in the struggle, although he was treated unfairly and dismissed from his position, he was consistent.
After the 1971 incident, he presided over the daily work of the Central Military Commission as vice chairman of the Central Military Commission.
In 1976, at the juncture of history, ** and *** and others chose to complete their work and took decisive measures to reverse the overall situation. And this is inseparable from the extremely high prestige of *** in the army.
In 1977, by virtue of stabilizing the troops, ** continued to serve as ** vice chairman.
After his resignation, he publicly recommended Deng Gong to preside over the overall situation, and rejected the suggestions of other cadres to recommend him as the chairman of the Military Commission.
It was precisely because of these that when the rankings were set at that time, Ye Shuai was ranked in front of Deng Gong.
However, for these, he insisted that starting from the overall situation, Deng Gong was more capable and courageous than him, and the country needed such people to build its economy.
As for why *** is in the first place, it is because for the cause of reform and opening up, ** thinks that he is too old to be able to do high-intensity work, and he needs young people to stand up.
In this regard, Deng Gong also held the same view, and finally after repeated consideration, the two agreed that the young *** is more suitable to serve as the chairman of the Communist Party of China.
In order to allow *** to work with peace of mind and dispel his worries, Deng Gong also encouraged *** and said: "You have to be the one and provoke the beam." ”
As for the role of some veteran comrades, including himself, both ** and Deng Gong believed that they should play the role of gatekeeper and orientation, so Deng Gong accepted the post of chairman of the ** Military Commission and stabilized the army with him.
But as for his proposal to give up the second place position to Deng Gong, Deng Gong said that there was no need for this.
Because the two veteran comrades are bent on thinking about the future of the country, who is in the first place and who is behind in the personal ranking is a false name, and they do not seem to matter at all.
