Throughout the ages, whether it is the era of feudal dynasties or the pioneering land of New China, the worship of generals and the evaluation of merit are all recognition and respect for the founding fathers. Take the ten marshals since the founding of the people's republic, they are all the great founders of the well-known republic. The great motherland today's prosperity is inseparable from their blood and sweat, and this honor is the most sincere response to their efforts.
On September 27, 1955, the state decided to hold the conferment ceremony of the Ten Marshals of the Republic in Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, thus establishing the Ten Marshals in the history of the People's Liberation Army. Speaking of them, I think everyone is no stranger, there are zhu de boss, peng dehuai boss, marshal Lin Biao, marshal Liu Bocheng, he Long boss, marshal Chen Yi, marshal Luo Ronghuan, marshal Xu Xiangqian, marshal Nie Rongzhen and marshal Ye Jianying that we are familiar with. At the ceremony at that time, the ten marshals were not all present, of which Ye Shuai, Liu Shuai and Lin Shuai were absent. Considering the military exercises that were underway at that time, Ye Shuai could not be present in person; while the other two marshals were sick and recuperated in Qingdao because of the early years of fighting, and it was inconvenient for them to participate in this activity. So how did their ceremony of conferring military ranks and passing on certificates proceeded, let's take a look!
First of all, when it comes to Ye Shuai's conferment, it can be said that it is not particularly complicated. Because the distribution area of the military exercise activities that Ye Shuai was responsible for at that time was in Dalian, and the time was limited, he returned to Beijing after completing the task and personally completed the supplementary award of military ranks. But when it comes to the experience of the other two marshals, it is a story. In order to be able to complete the work of supplementary granting in a timely manner, the Party Central Committee decided to send an important chief to personally handle the matter. After all, it is the marshal's appointment, and it is very prudent to select people, and it is at least not inferior to Lin and Liu in terms of the status of the party, government, and army, which is more appropriate. So after careful consideration, the burden of responsibility was placed on Peng Zhen.
In the eyes of everyone, it is generally believed that it is possible to award titles to two marshals, at least if they are generals, and may even be generals, marshals or high-ranking leaders. However, for Peng Zhen, everyone is not familiar with it, so let's hear about it. When it comes to this chief, his position is very important in the eyes of the whole party and cannot be ignored. He came into contact with Marxist-Leninist revolutionary ideas earlier, became an important member of the early Communist Party, was entrusted by the chairman three times with heavy responsibilities, and spent his life pursuing the truth of the revolution.
In the early days of the Northeast Liberation War, Peng Zhen was assigned to work in the northeast region, and even Lin Shuai at that time was his subordinate. Later, according to the needs of the war situation, Peng Zhen served as the secretary at that time. At that time, in order to resist the Kuomintang's attack in the Siping area, he and Lin Shuai could be said to have cooperated well, guarding Siping for a month and a month, winning valuable time for the advancement of the Liberation War. Later, considering Peng Zhen's outstanding ability, he went to Beiping to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee, which shows that his position is very important.
In addition, unlike other military generals, Chief Peng Zhen's outstanding point lies in the development of the party and government. During his work in the northeast, he began to lead the land reform, led the local people to develop production, and accumulated a solid mass foundation. It is precisely because of these efforts that we can better complete the supply of war readiness materials, ensure the progress of conscription, and make important contributions to the development of the Northeast Liberation Army.
Not only that, Chief Peng Zhen was also the alternate secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee at that time, and his status was self-evident, not losing to the status of marshal. Even at the conferment ceremony, it was Chief Peng Zhen who was responsible for announcing the order. Later, around the 1980s, Peng Zhen became the chairman of the National People's Congress and was called a cadre at the level of a state official. Taking the Ten Marshals as an example, only Zhu Laozong, Ye Shuai, and Lin Shuai had served at the level of zhengguo. From this point of view, it can be said that it is very appropriate to send Chief Peng Zhen to complete the work of supplementary teaching.
