20 years old to go to elementary school?
I believe that many readers think that Xiaobian is the title party!
Today's students are 6 or 7 years old in the first grade of primary school, and a few decades ago, a very small number of children did not start primary school until they were 10 years old. But if you say that you only went to primary school at the age of 20, it is indeed too exaggerated, and you dare not imagine!
Moreover, when you go to elementary school at the age of 20, when you start your career, what age do you reach?
But there is indeed a big person in our country, who only went to primary school at the age of 20, but soon after finishing primary school, he shined and brought a long-term and far-reaching impact to our country.
China did not have a system for cultivating talents in feudal society until 1906, when the Qing government officially established primary schools and abolished the imperial examination. As a result, a large number of readers who approved the preparation for the show were transferred to the primary school, including what we want to introduce today: Zhu De.
At that time, he was a 20-year-old young man.
Zhu De, a native of Yilong, Sichuan, hated the old society that exploited people very much and longed to save the people of Li from fire and water. After entering the primary school, he studied eagerly and achieved very good results, and he was successively admitted to the Sichuan Normal School and the Yunnan Army Martial Arts School.
In August 1911, on the eve of a turbulent revolution in China, Zhu De graduated from the Yunnan Wushu Academy as an outstanding soldier and served as deputy squad leader under Cai Yi, and was soon promoted to secretary general.
Soon after, the Wuchang Uprising broke out, and all parts of the country responded. Cai Yi and others in Yunnan also decided to attack Kunming on October 30 and capture the reactionary governor of Yunnan, Li Jingxi.
On the night of the uprising, when the revolutionary army was assembling at the Wujiaba barracks, a reactionary squad officer (company commander) took advantage of the chaos to flee to Kunming in an attempt to send a message. Zhu De immediately led the men in pursuit, forcing the officers to change their routes elsewhere.
Before the uprising could begin, Zhu De was promoted to team officer (company commander) by Cai Yi on the spot. In the battle against Kunming, he led the whole company directly into the governor Yamen, captured Li Jingxi in one fell swoop, and once again made a great contribution.
After the battle against Kunming, Zhu De became an excellent grassroots officer, and in 1913 he was promoted to battalion commander and stationed in the bandit-ridden area of Mengzi and The Old One.
At that time, the bandits, supported by france, had no fear, and were scattered in the mountains and forests, which made the government army feel very nervous. After Zhu De arrived, he immediately confronted them, and when he found a band of bandits, he chased after them relentlessly, and even played hide-and-seek with them in the mountains, until they were all searched out and wiped out.
Zhu De's method of suppressing bandits was the prototype of the Red Army's guerrilla warfare, and the Red 1 Corps in the Red Army period was always erratic on the battlefield, and was especially good at long-distance attacks and flanking detours, that is, the solid horse steps planted when Zhu De was the commander of the army.
The guerrilla warfare of the Red Army was continuously improved during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and finally formed the interspersed division and roundabout encirclement of Mao Zedong's military principles. By the end of the Liberation War, Zhu De was already the commander-in-chief of more than 4 million PLA troops, and the entire PLA was also full of fire in the use of interspersed and roundabout tactics. Whether it is the interspersed of squads and platoons, or the roundabouts of the corps level of more than 100,000 troops, they can swing freely.
But the only regret is that during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, it was not able to play a large-scale role. North Korea's terrain is narrow and long, and the mountain ranges are all running in a north-south direction, cutting the already narrow Korean Peninsula into one by one. When the Volunteers faced the Americans, the roundabouts were greatly restricted, and only the detours at the regimental level could be carried out.
If the terrain of North Korea is open, the "understanding" of the Chinese army by the US military must be absolutely profound at N levels!!!
Because Zhu De repeatedly made great achievements in the suppression of bandits, his position was quickly promoted, and by 1915, he had served as the head of the regiment.
From the Xinhai Revolution in 1911 to 1915, in just four years, Zhu De was promoted from a platoon-level division chief at the most basic level to a regimental commander with a backbone position in the army, and crossed a full 6 levels to become a model for military personnel.
At the end of 1915, Yuan Shikai announced the restoration of the imperial system, which was unanimously denounced by the whole country, and Zhu De immediately sent a telegram to yuan and led his troops to Kunming to stand by.
A month later, Cai Yi's defending army engaged Yuan Shikai's army in Sichuan, and Zhu De led his troops to the north and rushed to the luzhou front.
When Zhu De arrived, Yuan Shikai's troops were attacking the strategically important Naxi with superior troops, and the defending army was tight on all fronts. Zhu De immediately concentrated artillery fire on the Yuan army, and skillfully used night battles, roundabout side attacks, and other tactics to attack the Yuan army, thus winning valuable time for the defending army to mobilize troops.
When the Defenders counterattacked, Zhu De led his troops to take the lead and retake Naxi with a single charge.
In the ensuing Battle of Lantianba, Zhu De's military command ability was brought into full play.
At that time, Zhu De did not attack head-on, but led his troops to quietly move to the flank of the Yuan army, and suddenly launched a fierce blow to his waist, which caught the Yuan army by surprise and Empress Cang retreated. The Defending Army took advantage of the victory and attacked on all fronts, eventually forcing Yuan Shikai to abolish the imperial system.
Zhu De became famous in the Battle of Lantianba and became a famous general in the Defending Army. After that, his position was rapidly promoted, and by 1921, he became the commander of the Yunnan Army Gendarmerie, and a year later he was transferred to the Yunnan Police Department and the director of the Kunming Police Department, taking charge of the Yunnan Military Police.
Zhu De, who held a high position in the military and police, was not at all proud and still painstakingly pondered the way to "save the people of Li from water and fire." Two months later, he left Kunming with weariness of warlord scuffles and unlimited hope for China's future. Then it was turned over to Beijing, Shanghai, France, Germany, the Soviet Union...
China has one less warlord, but one more responsible soldier. The world has also changed, and a few decades later, the East has one less "sick man", but it has stood up as a giant.
