Zhu Lao is always the commander-in-chief of the whole army, ranking second only to *** in the army, and the first of the top ten marshals after the founding of New China. However, there is an unusual fact that Mr. Zhu has not personally presided over the daily work of the Military Commission, which is quite unique in the military.
At the beginning of the founding of New China, the daily work of the Military Commission was initially presided over by ***. ** concurrently serves as the prime minister and the first president of the government affairs yuan, and has heavy work tasks, and has to deal with a large number of government affairs every day. What is surprising is that ** actually presided over the daily work of the Military Commission for three consecutive years.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, ** acted as a liaison between *** and Mr. Peng. For example, when the news of the martyr Mao Anying's sacrifice came, ** learned about it as soon as possible, and quickly decided to conceal the matter***
Until 1952, when the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea ended, Mr. Peng returned to **illness**, and **suggested that Mr. Peng assume the responsibility for the daily work of the Military Commission. This marked that Mr. Peng became the first marshal to preside over the daily work of the Military Commission after the founding of New China.
Other marshals, such as **, etc., also successively took on the daily work of the Military Commission. What is striking is why Mr. Zhu, the number one marshal, has rich prestige and qualifications, but he has never personally presided over the daily work of the Military Commission?
First of all, Mr. Zhu is very old. His birth year dates back to 1886, making him the eldest of the Ten Marshals, a full round older than Mr. Peng. When New China was just founded, Mr. Zhu was already 63 years old, and his old physical strength and energy could not be compared with that year.
The work of the Central Military Commission is extremely stressful, the tasks are complicated, and the level of fatigue is extraordinary, as it deals with countless affairs every day, and even has to stay up late to work. **Marshal** Chief of the General Staff was faint due to exhaustion, and the work of the Military Commission was busier than that of the General Staff, and it was necessary for young and strong people to undertake it.
At that time, he was just over fifty years old, and he was in the period of full energy, so he was entrusted with the important task of working in the Military Commission. However, in October 1951, due to the busyness of *** and the fact that Mr. Peng was in North Korea, it was decided that ** would preside over the daily work of the Military Commission.
However, after only three months of work, he collapsed due to physical exhaustion. After 1959, ** succeeded Mr. Peng to preside over the work of the Military Commission, but he was often unable to perform his duties due to physical reasons, so Mr. He became the temporary presiding.
Several marshals are much younger and more energetic than Mr. Zhu. And Mr. Zhu is very old, and if he is allowed to preside over the work of the Military Commission, it may be difficult to bear. First of all, Mr. Zhu shouldered a heavy responsibility at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, serving as one of the first vice chairmen, and he was the chief vice chairman. At the same time, he also serves as the secretary of the ** Discipline Inspection Committee, both of which are very onerous. Mr. Zhu no longer has the extra energy to deal with the affairs of the Military Commission, and his doppelganger is extremely limited.
In 1959, although he no longer served as vice president, Mr. Zhu was elected chairman of the National People's Congress, a very important leadership position. Despite his advanced age, Mr. Zhu still insisted on going to various places to conduct investigations, studies and inspections. He held this position until his death.
In addition, Mr. Zhu's responsibilities have changed after the establishment of the Military Commission in 1954, and he is mainly committed to government affairs, and is actually no longer involved in military affairs, so he has not served as the vice chairman of the Military Commission. Despite this, Mr. Zhu has always been deeply respected and loved by the whole army.
He was one of the leaders of the Nanchang Uprising and one of the important founders of the Vermilion Red Army. He was always the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces and was highly respected.
