Reasonable cooperation of the team is a necessary premise for the success of a thing, at this time how to employ people is the basis of reasonable cooperation of the team, the so-called suspicious people do not have to use people, excellent decision-makers are also full of knowledge in the employment of people.
Especially before the founding of New China, the forces in all aspects were glued, and how to seek common ground while reserving differences among many forces and how to employ people also became a major problem.
In this regard, some people have doubts about the appointment of Xu Xiangqian by the Party Central Committee during the Liberation War, but in the end they have not been implemented, and many people are not clear about whether Xu Xiangqian is suspicious or reused for this result.
The main cause of doubt
The founding of the republic was always full of ups and downs, and there were unbearable pains in the years of war and strife.
It was in October 1936, when Xu Xiangqian and Chen Changhao, who had originally been carrying 20,000 soldiers, were cut off in the Hexi Corridor, and the Qilian Mountains area was cut off. Under objective factors, more than 20,000 Western Route Army troops were heavily surrounded and fell into a state of fighting alone, and the Kuomintang warlords headed by Ma Bufang brutally strangled our Western Route Army.
However, under this scenario, Xu Xiangqian received a request from the central authorities to form the Western Route Army in Hexi and create a base area.
After receiving the order, Xu Xiangqian led the soldiers to fight in bloody battles for five months under extremely difficult conditions under unfamiliar ground conditions and insufficient ammunition and materials, annihilating 25,000 enemy people. However, in the end, due to the lone army going deeper, the situation was passive, and eventually 20,000 soldiers of the Western Route Army were finally left with only about 1,000 combatants.
In order to preserve the revolutionary forces, the remaining combatants were divided into three guerrilla groups and divided into pieces, scattered among the various units for roundabout operations. Xu Xiangqian also left the army during this reorganization, but the guerrilla detachment led only by Li Xiannian broke out of the enemy encirclement and came to Xinjiang to join the Party Central Committee.
The last 20,000 soldiers of the Western Route Army survived less than 400 people, and the great defeat of the Western Route Army became the heaviest command of Xu Qianqian's career.
Some people, through the command of the Western Route Army, believe that Xu Xiangqian's own ability is not enough, and even think that in the later appointment of him by the Central Committee, they feel that there is a possibility of "doubtful use" for him, but is this really the case?
Four appointments were unsuccessful
In September 1945, Japan surrendered, and at the same time, the northeast region, which was originally occupied by the Japanese army, was also "idle", and the northeast could be said to be the industrial center of all China at that time, and it had a very important position for the economic development of the whole of China, so it was very necessary to send a capable leader to lead the northeast at this time.
At that time, in the candidates for leadership in the northeast region, in addition to Chen Yi and Lin Shuai, there was also Xu Xiangqian, but xu Xiangqian did not come to his post this time.
The time soon came to the first half of 1946, when the Party Central Committee decided to send Xu Xiangqian to work in the Central Plains Bureau, but this job was notoriously tense and busy.
Before the order was officially issued, the central authorities cordially congratulated Xu Xiangqian on his physical condition, and found that Xu Xiangqian's body was in recovery and could not bear such a high-intensity work, so the appointment was again unsuccessful.
At the beginning of September 1946, when the Shandong Field Army lost the battle in Sixian County, although the battle was narrowly won, our army still paid a large casualty.
In order to save the war situation, the central authorities decided to consider using Xu Xiangqian, knowing that Xu Xiangqian is a rare military expert in our country, and has previously led troops to attack several battles in Linfen, Jinzhong, and Taiyuan, all of which have achieved very good results.
Therefore, as a candidate for the new commander, he was also the result of many considerations by the central authorities, which backfired, and his perennial war career made Xu Xiangqian's body not as good as before.
Every war is a huge drain on both physically and psychologically, so this appointment, Xu Xiangqian, once again because of his body, chose to withdraw.
However, Xu Xiangqian did not "retreat behind the scenes" because of this, and the chairman also asked him if he could serve as the first deputy commander of the First Field Army and the commander of the 18th Corps in the northwest.
The deputy commander at that time was Peng Dehuai, if Xu Xiangqian was like a tiger in the past, Xu Xiangqian was also very excited about it, he also had a heart to serve the motherland, but he did not want to give up because of his body.
Therefore, I specially consulted the experts to see if my current physical condition was competent for this job, but the answer given by the experts was disappointing.
Physical fitness becomes a "drag"
This is the process of the central government's appointment of Xu Xiangqian four times, and it is not difficult to see that each appointment of Xu Xiangqian is not a so-called "suspicious use", but a reuse. Because the central government knew Xu Xiangqian's leadership and military talents, it appointed him to important positions many times, but Xu Xiangqian's body had become weak in war after war.
How bad is Xu Xiangqian's body in the later stage, saying a set of data may be clearer to the reader. Xu Xiangqian, who was known for his hard fighting and the more forward he was, had suffered countless injuries, large and small, and his thin body was covered with medals belonging to soldiers.
He was once kicked in the left leg by a frightened horse on the march, bed rested for about half a year, and then suffered from pleurisy, resulting in poor breathing, pleurisy just a little better, Xu Xiangqian applied to go to the battlefield, such a god of war was finally knocked down by the disease, after the Battle of Taiyuan, Xu Xiangqian had to lie in bed to recuperate.
Years of hard work caused Xu Xiangqian's health to be much worse than before, except for work, he was forced to receive treatment, and even such a grand event as the founding ceremony, Xu Xiangqian was unable to participate because of his aggravated illness.
You must know how cruel such a result is for a general who has been participating in the war for many years, and this has finally become a regret in Xu Qianqian's life.
The body is the capital of the revolution, this sentence is vividly reflected in Xu Xiangqian, just as the chairman believes that Xu Xiangqian himself is a leader with outstanding ability, otherwise he would not have been awarded the rank of marshal in the 1955 awarding ceremony, but he was tripped by his health, and finally had no choice but to "give up"!
brief summary:
In fact, judging from the importance of each appointment of Xu Xiangqian, the central government does not have a "suspicious use" for him, on the contrary, it reflects the reuse in it. However, Xu Xiangqian's physical fitness is no longer up to the high-load important position, which is also a pity.
Because the author believes that if conditions permit, Xu Xiangqian and the central government will strive to make the greatest contribution to the construction of new China.
In such a situation of mutual trust, even if Xu's four previous appointments were unsuccessful, he still left a strong mark on the monument to the founding of New China.
