The bustling scene outside the window is so inspiring, and today's prosperity and prosperity in China have attracted the attention of the world. This is the result of the efforts of generations, and it is they who have spent their youth creating this beautiful thing for us who enjoy the fruits. Our ancestors are honorable and worth learning from.
And we should not forget that during the revolutionary war years, those revolutionary martyrs who threw their heads and spilled their blood for the cause of national liberation laid a solid foundation with their precious lives, and they are the people we should admire the most. After the founding of New China, those founding heroes also had corresponding treatment and military ranks, and when the title was awarded, there were fourteen generals in the original list, but for various reasons, four took the initiative to give up their military ranks, and only then did they have the famous ten founding generals, and one of these four people is today's protagonist, he is Tan Zhenlin.
Childhood experiences
In 1902, Tan Zhenlin was born in an ordinary family in Youxian County, Hunan Province, and the whole family relied on his father Tan Ruikai to work in the factory to survive. The income is not much, but also to support a family of several people, the hardships of life can be imagined.
However, Tan Ruikai came from a family of scholars and knew the importance of reading, and when Tan Zhenlin was nine years old, he gritted his teeth and took out his small savings and sent his son to a private school to study. Although his study career ended in less than three years, this happy time had a great impact on him.
Dropping out of school early is because Tan Ruikai is unemployed, in order to reduce the pressure of life, but also hope that they have a good way out in the future, they all entrusted people to find a job for them. Tan Zhenlin was sent to a book and paper shop as an apprentice, and although the work here was very hard, it was as if he had found a treasure trove of knowledge.
During the day, he would take time out to find a few books of interest. But wait until the boss and the guy are asleep, after all, these books are the boss's goods, but you can't let him touch them casually. Every time he "stole" a book to read, Tan Zhenlin was very careful and would not get the book dirty, or even have no wrinkles at all.
Later, Yu Lai, a primary school teacher who often came to buy books, introduced him to many progressive books and periodicals, and it was precisely because of Yu Lai's guidance and the influence of these revolutionary books that he laid a deep theoretical foundation.
He was elected Chairman of the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' Government
In 1926, when the Northern Expeditionary Army came to Hunan to attack Youxian County, the party organization arranged for Tan Zhenlin to serve as a guide for the revolutionary army and organized the local people to build a pontoon bridge for the revolutionary army. It was this outstanding performance that after the restoration of Youxian County, Tan Zhenlin was introduced to the party by Yu Lai.
After becoming a party member, he felt that the burden on his body was heavier, and he founded the Workers' and Peasants' Association to propagate revolutionary ideas. In 1927, the Ma-Ri Incident broke out, Comrade Yu Lai was unfortunately arrested and killed, Tan Zhenlin was also on the wanted list, fortunately, someone reported to him in time to cover his escape from you county, which saved him.
After a few months of popularity, he returned to his hometown in disguise, but the revolutionary situation was much worse than before. But at this moment, the rebel army led by the chairman brought him a glimmer of light.
In late October, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, which had entered the mountains of Jinggangshan, sent two companies of troops to capture Chaling City in one fell swoop. Dozens of imprisoned party members and revolutionary cadres were released, when Tan Zhenlin found them to explain their identities, and Wan xi, who took the lead, arranged for him to restore the local trade union organization.
Later, as a trade union representative, Tan Zhenlin participated in the formation of the Chaling Workers' and Peasants' and Soldiers' Government, and was also elected as the chairman of the government, and he also became the chairman of the first workers' and peasants' and soldiers' government in the Jinggangshan base area, which was of great significance.
However, soon the local tyrants and gentry who had been run away gathered reactionary forces to resurface, and Tan Zhenlin once led pickets and Red Guards to cooperate with the revolutionary army to repel the enemy's attack twice. However, the other side did not want to show weakness, but found the Xiang army to invite a regiment of troops, the strength of the two armies is very different, after a day of bloody fighting, Tan Zhenlin decided to take advantage of the night to break through.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, Chen Hao wanted to lead the team to the enemy, and if the team all defected, Tan Zhenlin would have no way. Fortunately, the chairman arrived in time with reinforcements, quelled the conspiracy, punished the traitors, and at the same time reorganized the team, and more than two hundred pickets and Red Guards brought by Tan Zhenlin were incorporated into the second battalion of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, and Tan Zhenlin also became a member of the Red Army.
On the way to Jinggangshan, Tan Zhenlin talked a lot with the chairman, he was impressed by the foresight of the other party, and at the same time he had an idea in his heart that this would be the person he would follow all his life.
Excellent general of the Red Army
Initially, Tan Zhenlin remained in the Xianggan Border Special Committee, and later became the political commissar of the Second Column of the Red Fourth Army and the former committee of the Red Fourth Army, and by 1930 he had been promoted to the political commissar of the Red 12 Army.
Judging from his position during the Red Army period, he was an excellent commander and fighter of the Red Army who gradually grew up from the grass-roots level. He was very experienced in political work, and when he took political lessons with the soldiers, he did not talk about revolutionary theory in a boring way, and many of the fighters had not been to school, could not understand or like to listen.
Tan Zhenlin told the revolutionary road in combination with historical stories, from every major peasant uprising in history, to the current situation and everyone's experience before joining the army, so that the soldiers could understand and listen to it, and they could do more with less.
Later, during the Long March of the Central Red Army, Tan Zhenlin, then commander and political commissar of the Fujian Military Region, was responsible for staying in the Soviet zone and fighting guerrilla warfare in a dangerous revolutionary environment for three years.
It was not until the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party that the revolutionary environment improved again. After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he successively served as the deputy commander of the second and third detachments of the New Fourth Army, and after the Anhui Incident, he served as the commander and political commissar of the Sixth Division of the New Fourth Army, and became a senior general of the New Fourth Army.
In the past few years, he has witnessed the growth of the New Fourth Army little by little, and he has also become a pioneer in the anti-Japanese base area in Jiangnan, during which he has also fought many battles with the Japanese puppet army, the most famous of which is the Defense of Fanchang.
From January to December 1939, he led the third detachment to fight with the Japanese puppet army five times, of which the fourth was the most intense, when the Japanese sent thousands of people, and the officers and men of the third detachment used their flesh and blood to make up for the lack of weapons and equipment, annihilated more than 500 enemy troops, and killed the Japanese Kawashima Nakasa, winning the final victory of this battle, but also paying heavy casualties.
He was Deputy Prime Minister for 19 years
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the deputy political commissar of the Central China Military Region, assisting General Su Yu in directing the battle, and in 1949 he became the first deputy political commissar of Sanye. After the liberation of Zhejiang, he stayed here to take charge of the local bandit suppression and economic recovery work, and served as the first secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee of New China. From 1954, Tan Lao was transferred to Beijing and elected vice premier, a total of 19 years.
Elder Tan contributed his life to the cause of national liberation, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was an important leading cadre of the country; although his position was high, he was not proud of his merits, and he was very principled in everything he did, becoming a model for leading cadres. He never interfered with the study and work of his children, nor did he provide any help, and several of his children developed to the best of their ability.
Treating the work tan lao conscientiously, diligently and sincerely, will not abuse power for personal gain, and is even more opposed to engaging in special. When he went to the field to inspect, he would not participate in the banquet where the local reception was held, but would only eat in the canteen, or make up with his fellow villagers' houses, and give him money for food when he left. He is an old revolutionary predecessor who deserves the admiration and study of the Chinese people.
In Elder Tan's view, he was able to make such a great achievement, not only because of his own persistence, but also because of a person, who was Chairman Mao. Over the decades, he learned a lot from the chairman, and the two also had a deep revolutionary friendship, and when the chairman died of illness in 1976, the bad news came, and Tan Lao wept bitterly and was very sad.
Six years after the President's death, he also completed his glorious life at the age of 81.
