Zhu Lao is always the commander-in-chief of the whole army, and he is the second person in the army after ***. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became the head of the Ten Marshals. Strangely, Mr. Zhu has never presided over the daily work of the Military Commission. Why is that?
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first to preside over the daily work of the Military Commission was the premier of the Government Council, and he also served as the chief minister. Many people may not think that ** also presided over the daily work of the Military Commission for three years.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the telegram exchange between Mr. Peng and *** was the intermediary contact. The first to see Mr. Peng's telegram is often ***For example, when the telegram of Mao Anying's sacrifice came, **I saw it for the first time, and immediately decided to hide it first***
Until 1952, when the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea came to an end, Mr. Peng returned to China for treatment, and suggested that Mr. Peng should pick up the burden of the Military Commission, and Mr. Peng should preside over the daily work of the Military Commission. Mr. Peng became the first marshal to preside over the daily work of the Military Commission after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
And then there are marshals such as ** and others, who have successively presided over the daily work of the Military Commission. Careful people may have found out, why is there no Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu is always the number one marshal, and in terms of prestige and seniority, Mr. Zhu should preside over the daily work of the Central Military Commission.
But in fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Zhu never presided over the daily work of the Military Commission. Why is that?
First of all, Mr. Zhu is very old. Mr. Zhu was born in 1886 and is the eldest of the ten marshals, a full round older than Mr. Peng. When the People's Republic of China was founded, Mr. Zhu was 63 years old. When people get older, their physical strength and energy are not as good as before.
The daily work of the Central Military Commission is very heavy, with a lot of problems, and it is busy every day, even day and night, which is not ordinary tiredness. **Marshal** Chief of the General Staff, he was so tired that he fainted, and the work of the Military Commission was busier and more tiring than that of the General Staff, and it needed a young and strong person to be in charge.
**At that time, he was in his early 50s, and he was in the prime of life and energetic, so he was in charge of the work of the Military Commission. In October 1951, because he was too busy and Mr. Peng was in North Korea, it was decided that he would temporarily preside over the daily work of the Military Commission.
But after only working for more than three months, I was tired. After 1959, he succeeded Mr. Peng to preside over the daily work of the Military Commission, and he was often unable to perform his duties due to physical reasons, so he had to preside over the daily work of the Military Commission.
Several marshals are much younger than Mr. Zhu and are "strong men". And Mr. Zhu is very old, if he is allowed to preside over the work of the Military Commission, I am afraid he will not be able to bear it. This is the first, and second, Mr. Zhu has already shouldered a heavy responsibility after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Lao was always one of the first vice chairmen, and he was the first vice chairman. He also serves as the secretary of the ** Discipline Inspection Committee. Both of these burdens are heavy. Mr. Zhu has no energy to manage the affairs of the Military Commission anymore, and he lacks skills.
In 1959, Mr. Zhu, who no longer served as vice president of the state, was elected chairman of the National People's Congress. It's also a pretty important leadership position. Despite his advanced age, Mr. Zhu still insisted on going to all parts of the country to investigate and inspect the work. Mr. Zhu held this position until his death.
And the third. In 1954, the Party's **Military Commission was established, ** was the chairman, and the ten marshals were all members. After 1959, seven marshals successively served as vice chairmen of the Military Commission, in addition to Mr. Peng, who bid farewell to the political stage in 1959, and Mr. Zhu, who died of illness in 1963.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Zhu's functions have changed, and his energy is mainly focused on government affairs, and in fact he is no longer in charge of the affairs of the army, so he has never served as vice chairman of the Central 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, and he was the eternal and only commander-in-chief of the three armies.
