Su Zhenhua and Yang Yong
The two of them cooperated until after the founding of the People's Republic of China, after the liberation of Guizhou, Su Zhenhua took over Yang Yong's leadership position in Guizhou Province, continued to stabilize Guizhou, and made contributions to the restoration of economic development, he not only fought wars, but also did ideological work, and also had experience in governing the localities, which laid the foundation for his later transfer to the secretary of Shanghai.
It can be seen that Su Zhenhua's strategic command ability on the actual battlefield is not inferior to that of other military commanders, and most of Su Zhenhua's positions in the protracted revolutionary war are political commissars, so he is called by Chairman Mao as the most capable political commissar in war, so he is well-deservedly awarded the title of general. Later, our army formed a navy, there was no suitable candidate, and finally Chairman Mao pointed out that Su Zhenhua would be the political commissar of the navy, and Xiao Jinguang would be partnered, because he had not been in contact with the navy before, Su Zhenhua took the lead in learning the knowledge of naval science and technology, presided over the establishment of the naval professional research institute, established the naval science and technology research department, established the naval ship research institute, and personally served as the leader of the nuclear submarine research group, making contributions to the successful development of nuclear submarines later.

However, Su Zhenhua's glory continued, in 1976, Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu died in the same year, the whole country was sad, after smashing the Gang of Four, in order to stabilize the situation in Shanghai, Su Zhenhua was once again in danger and appointed as the secretary of Shanghai.
Why Su Zhenhua? He was not a local leader at that time, but only a military cadre, and the reason why he was chosen was because he was an old comrade who could hold the stage whether he was in the army or in the locality.
Marshal Ye Jianying and Su Zhenhua
And the person who recommended him was Marshal Ye Jianying, who knew people well, and Ye Shuai believed that Su Zhenhua was old, and during the special period, he was determined to fight in adversity, and he played an important role in the emergency moment of smashing the "Gang of Four". During the war years, he had experience in commanding operations; in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he also served as the secretary of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee, and was praised by Chairman Mao's Party Central Committee many times. Coupled with the fact that there is a base for the Navy's East China Sea Fleet, Su Zhenhua went to Shanghai, and there are also convenient conditions for work, so that some people dare not make a mistake, and everyone agrees with Marshal Ye Jianying's suggestion.
In October 1976, Su Zhenhua was appointed as the first secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the director of the Shanghai Municipal Revolutionary Committee. In just over two months, it destroyed the gang system of the "Gang of Four" in Shanghai, made great contributions to stabilizing the situation in Shanghai, and restored and developed Shanghai's economic construction.
