A total of 1614 founding generals were born in New China. If you look closely, you will find that there are many characteristics in it. For example, Yongxuan previously shared the founding generals who were related.
Some of them are brother generals, such as Major General He Jinnian and He Jixiang are brothers;
Major General Wang Shusheng and Admiral Wang Hongkun, Major General Dai Kelin and Major General Dai Keming, Lieutenant General Fan Chaoli and Major General Fan Chaofu, Major General Xie Liang and Lieutenant General Xie Youfa, Lieutenant General Zhang Lingbin and Major General Zhang Pingkai, Major General Ding Rongchang and Major General Ding Sheng are cousins;
Major General Decklin followed Major General Cheng Qiwen as cousins.
There are also three generals known as the "three generations of grandchildren" who are all founding generals. According to the ranking of seniority in the middle school, it is ranked as Liang Xing Junior High School General, Lieutenant General Liang Biye, and Major General Liang Renjie.
In addition, there are 8 groups of founding generals who are even in line. What is a placket? It is the kinship between the husband of the sister and the husband of the sister. The 8 groups of plackets are:
Marshal He Long and Admiral Xiao Ke had married the sisters Of Jian Xianren and Jian Xian, respectively (He Long and Jian Xianren divorced after taking office);
General Chen Geng and General Chen Xi, who married Wang Genying and Wang Xuanmei sisters respectively (Wang Genying was later killed);
General Gan Siqi and General Wang Zhen, who married Li Zhen (Major General) and Li Xinlan sisters, respectively;
General Deng Hua and Major General Fang Guohua married Li Yuzhi and Li Peiqing sisters respectively;
General Zhou Chunquan and Major General Jin Rubai married Zheng Jingwen and Zheng Wewen sisters respectively;
General Yang Dezhi and Major General Lu Shaowu married Shen Gejun and Shen Xiaopu sisters respectively;
Lieutenant General Huang Mars and Major General Wang Cheng, who married Fu Xia and Fu Xue sisters respectively;
General Wang Ping, Lieutenant General Wang Zonghuai and Major General Yi Yaocai married three sisters, Fan Jingxin, Fan Jingming and Fan Jingyang, respectively, and the three founding generals became lianxiang, which is very special.
In addition to the above several kinds of kinship, Yongxuan here will also focus on another kind of kinship, that is, weng's son-in-law among the founding generals.
Both the son-in-law and the father-in-law are founding generals, which is very special and very rare. Yongxuan looked through the information about the founding generals and found that only the two groups of founding generals were weng son-in-law relationship.
One group was founding general He Bingyan and founding major general Jiang Qixian.
Among them, Major General Jiang Qixian is the father-in-law, and He Bingyan will be the son-in-law. He Bingyan's wife, Jiang Ping, is Jiang Qixian's beloved daughter (explained in detail in the previous article).
Admiral Zhou Shidi
The other group was founding general Zhou Shidi and founding major general Peng Fujiu.
For Admiral Zhou Shidi, we are all familiar with it. He was born in 1900 in Xinchang, Guangdong, which is now Hainan.
Of all the provinces in China, Hainan is the smallest, but there were 7 founding generals born on this land, including 1 general, 1 general, 2 lieutenant generals, and 3 major generals. Generals Zhang Yunyi, two lieutenant generals Lu Sheng and Zhuang Tian, and three major generals Ma Baishan, Wu Kezhi and Fu Qijian. And the admiral was Zhou Shidi.
Zhou Shidi had deep seniority in the party and the military, graduated from Huangpu I, and was a classmate of Xu Xiangqian and Chen Geng. However, during the Nanchang Uprising, he was the commander of the division and became a relied general of General Ye Ting.
Previously, during the Northern Expedition, Ye Ting was promoted to deputy commander of the Fourth Army for meritorious service, and Zhou Shidi took over as the head of the Independent Regiment (later renamed the 73rd Regiment of the 25th Division of the National Revolutionary Army).
At the time of the Nanchang Uprising, Chen Yi was a regimental cadre, Lin Biao was also a company commander in the 7th company of the 1st Battalion, 73rd Regiment, Zhou Shi's Division, Chen Geng was the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment of the 3rd Division, and Su Yu was only the head of the guard squad of the Staff Corps at that time. It can be seen that Zhou Shidi's qualifications are indeed very deep.
Of course, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, General Zhou Shidi also made outstanding military achievements, which will not be repeated here.
In 1923, Zhou Shidi's first wife, Weng Qiukun, gave birth to a daughter, Zhou Jingquan, who was later renamed Zhou Boya.
General Zhou Shidi and his family
In the summer of 1944, Zhou Shidi returned to Yan'an from the front line to recuperate, and the 21-year-old Zhou Boya was responsible for taking care of her father, during which time she met the 26-year-old Peng Fujiu. Peng Fujiu was working in the Second Bureau of the Central Military Commission at that time, and he also served as the chief of the section.
Speaking of Peng Fujiu, he is really a young and promising talent.
He was born in 1918 in Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province. Born in the Children's League, he joined the Children's League at the age of 10 and also served as the head of the District Children's League, and in 1931, at the age of 15, Peng Fujiu became the secretary of the Yongxin County Children's Bureau.
In 1932, Peng Fujiu ushered in an important turning point and laid the direction of his life. That year, Xiao Ke brought a 50-watt radio station from the Central Military Commission, and in order to cultivate professional talents, the Xianggan Military Region held the first training course in Yongxin County. The intelligent, capable and young Peng Fujiu was favored by Feng Wenbin, an inspector of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and then recommended him to participate in the training class (only 8 students).
Founding General Zhou Shidi and Founding Major General Peng Fujiu
After completing his studies, Peng Fujiu served as a radio operator of the Red Sixth Army, the director of the Red Second Army, and the radio captain of the Red Sixth Army. Since then, he has used his ingenuity in the radio of our army and is different from the soldiers who hold guns on the front line.
Sure enough, in 1935, the 17-year-old Peng Fujiu showed a hand at work. He and his colleagues deciphered the telegram of contact between Xu Yuanquan of the Kuomintang Enshi "Suppression of Bandits" Headquarters and Zhang Zhenhan's 41st Division, and in the end, the Red Army eliminated the 41st Division and captured its commander Zhang Zhenhan alive. It can be said that the credit of Peng Fujiu is also very large.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Peng Fujiu, who had outstanding talents, was transferred to the Second Bureau of the Central Military Commission. The Second Bureau of the Central Military Commission is a very important department. It was an important technical reconnaissance and intelligence department of our Party and our army during the revolutionary war years, and it was also the existence of a secret weapon. To outsiders, it is truly unpredictable.
Peng Fujiu, on the other hand, was responsible for reconnaissance work in the Second Bureau of the Central Military Commission, and successively served as a newspaper operator, radio station chief, unit chief, deputy director of a section, chief of the cadre section, and head of a department.
During the Liberation War, during the Battle of Hengbao, Peng Fujiu, who was transferred to the Siye Command, once again showed his skills, and through a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the telegrams of Bai Chongxi's army, he captured key information such as "Map of Guangxi", "Grain Storage in Various Parts of Guangxi", "The Situation of Bridges in Guangxi", etc., so that the chief of the Ye division made an accurate judgment that "bai Chongxi group is ready to defeat guangxi". In the end, our army naturally won a major victory in the Battle of Hengbao.
Bai Chongxi
After the founding of New China, Peng Fujiu was promoted and reused again. In 1952, he became director of the First Bureau of the Technical Department under the General Staff. Soon after, Li Tao (the founding general) became the minister of technology, and he was promoted to first deputy minister.
In 1955, the Ministry of Technology was changed to the Three General Staff Departments, and after Li Tao's proposal, Peng Fujiu was appointed as the head of the Three General Staff Departments. Also in that year, he was awarded the rank of major general.
His father-in-law, Zhou Shidi, was awarded the rank of general. Both Weng and his son-in-law became founding generals, which is also a special honor. However, although they are close family members, they do not talk about the content of work in life, but often play chess. Logically, both of them work in the military system, and there are many common languages or common topics, so why can't they talk about it? Because Peng Fujiu's job position is special, the work content must also be kept confidential.
On June 30, 1979, General Zhou Shidi died at the age of 79. On June 7, 2011, General Peng Fujiu died in Beijing at the age of 93.
In general, these two groups of sons-in-law are special cases among the founding generals. However, it was different from Admiral He Bingyan and Major General Jiang Qixian. This group of sons-in-law is a general and the father-in-law is a major general; while the other group is just the opposite, Zhou Shidi and Peng Fujiu, the son-in-law is a major general, and the father-in-law is a general.
Looking back at these founding generals, their stories are always intriguing, and their contributions and exploits are also unforgettable.
