Mr. Peng was beaten, who was the major general who beat him? How to deal with it?
1959 was a turning point in Mr. Peng's life, before that, he became the Minister of National Defense by virtue of his brilliant achievements in commanding the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and was in charge of the affairs of the Military Commission, with a high position.
However, after a meeting, he was caught in a whirlpool and encountered all kinds of difficulties. Some people criticized him wrongly, some people turned over old accounts, deducted hats, and even the most excessive thing was that when there were not many people around Mr. Peng, the founding major general Li Zhongqi, rushed to him, grabbed him by the collar, made disrespectful remarks, and even slapped him.
Although Mr. Peng no longer has a military position at this time, he still serves as the vice premier. During the war years, Mr. Peng has always been Li Zhongqi's superior, and Li Zhongqi's actions obviously belong to the following crimes.
So, why did Lee Jong-ki behave so radically? How do you deal with it in the end?
Li Zhongqi, born in the Northeast Army Lecture Hall, joined the anti-Japanese resistance after the 918 Incident, and was later arranged by the underground party to enter Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army. However, after being transferred by Chiang Kai-shek to attack the Red Army, the Northeast Army suffered frequent defeats, and many fighters were attracted by the Red Army's policies and combat effectiveness and switched to the Red Army.
As an underground party member, Li Zhongqi became a member of the Red First Army of the Red Army after his identity was discovered in September 1936. During his time in the Eighth Route Army, he successively served as the acting commander of the cavalry battalion and the commander of the cavalry regiment.
During the War of Liberation, he was in charge of military education in North China. Although he did not directly intersect with Mr. Peng, Mr. Peng was always the deputy commander-in-chief of the people's army and belonged to Li Zhongqi's superior leadership.
The feud between the two dates back to 1957, when Lee Jong-ki graduated from the Nanjing Military Academy and served as deputy director of the Organization and Planning Department of the Training Directorate. However, in the "anti-dogmatism" campaign of the following year, the Military Academy was seen as the center of dogmatism, and the Department of the Directorate of Training was the center of command.
Lee Jong-ki was affected by this. Mr. Peng was a key figure in the criticism of "anti-dogmatism", which led to the resignation of the dean of the Military Academy and the dismissal of Xiao Ke, the director of the training directorate.
Although the Military Academy was retained, the Training Directorate was disbanded in December 1958, and Li Zhongqi was transferred out of Beijing to serve as deputy chief of staff of the 24th Army. Although there were many people involved in this campaign, Li Zhongqi thought that Mr. Peng was targeting him, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally fell into the horns.
Li Zhongqi had a grudge against Mr. Peng, and in 1967, during the break in the small hall of the Beijing Garrison, he slapped Mr. Peng twice and shouted while everyone was unprepared"You also have today"。
Although the strength was greater than that of Ambassador Li Zhongqi's hand, he was finally held back by the people around him, and Mr. Peng did not continue to be hurt.
In a fierce incident, due to the large number of witnesses at the scene, the news quickly spread throughout the army, causing public outrage. Although Mr. Peng was slapped twice in vain and did not immediately hold Li Zhongqi responsible, Li Zhongqi's behavior in the army caused dissatisfaction among many old subordinates, including Major General Wu Zhong, who had participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Wu Zhong believes that such behavior of senior cadres is a disgrace to the entire army and violates organizational discipline. After he was promoted to commander of the garrison, he immediately called Li Zhongqi to his office to criticize him, pointing out that although General Peng had been criticized, he had made significant contributions to the army and that the army's discipline was inviolable.
Although Li Zhongqi is older than Wu Zhong, Wu Zhong's words are very well-founded, so that Li Zhongqi did not refute in the end.
Wu Zhong publicized Li Zhongqi's review on the public notice board of the garrison for a month, which won the hearts of the people. Later, Wu Zhong was transferred to the Guangzhou Military Region as deputy commander. On the eve of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, he received an order to return to Beijing to cooperate with the investigation, because some sensitive incidents he handled during his time in the Beijing garrison needed to be clarified.
It is said that Li Zhongqi submitted materials to the organization, accusing Wu Zhong of bullying the masses, colluding with related gangs, and having an unclean history. Wu Zhong almost missed the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam because of this, but fortunately, Xu Shiyou, the commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, insisted that the investigation should be conducted after the war, not during the war.
Eventually, Wu Zhong was able to continue to participate in the command.
Although Li Zhongqi paid the price for beating Mr. Peng in public, he also expressed regret and admitted his mistake in his later years. While his actions may not be commendable, we cannot completely negate his past experiences and efforts.
During the Sino-Japanese War, his heroic deeds were admirable, and he played his part in various battles. While his actions may be controversial, we should take a more holistic view of his life.
Lee Jong-ki, a soldier who fought bravely on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. After the defeat of the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army, he was arranged by the underground party to enter the Northeast Army under Zhang Xueliang.
However, his identity was discovered in 1936, so he resolutely joined the Red Army and followed the Eighth Route Army in the fight against the Japanese invaders in North China. In the battle against the Japanese invaders, Lee Jong-ki experienced countless tests of life and death.
He was seriously wounded six times: in October 1931, he was besieged by Japanese soldiers in the small town between Tongliao and Baicheng, and during the breakout, he was hit in the abdomen by a bullet; In the spring of 1932, he was injured by a grenade by the Japanese during the sabotage of the river bridge, and the bone in one of his legs was already visible to the naked eye; In the winter of 1932, he killed a Japanese puppet guard in the Tazigou area, and a bullet passed through the thigh; In the summer of 1933, he got rid of a large landowner surnamed Liu who had defected to the Japanese in Kangbao County, and was hit by a bullet in the middle finger of his right hand; In the summer of 1938, he was shot in the back during the battle in eastern Hebei, but fortunately, the news of the victory in the battle woke him up from a coma; In the winter of 1943, in the process of countering the "sweep", in order to cover the safe transfer of the organs of the military region, he commanded the cadet soldiers to cover, and during the battle, the shoulder blade was shot by a bullet.
Lee Jong-ki's story makes us deeply admired. He was a selfless, brave and fearless soldier who used his life to interpret his love and loyalty to the motherland and the people.
He is a model for us to learn from, and his deeds will forever be remembered in the long river of history.
Lee Jong-ki performed well in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and can be called a hero. However, after the founding of the country, his thinking became extreme, which shows the complexity of human nature.
