Marshal Peng Dehuai has been active on the front line since he joined the party in 1928 until the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and has made countless battle merits.
After returning from North Korea, Mr. Peng continued to preside over the daily work of the Central Military Commission and concurrently served as Minister of National Defense. In the military aspect, Mr. Peng has always led the development and reform of the armed forces with great courage and has achieved many remarkable achievements.
However, at the Lushan meeting, he was wrongly criticized, and at the Eighth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee, he was labeled a "right-leaning opportunist anti-party clique" and removed from the post of defense minister.
The reason why Mr. Peng was criticized was that he wrote a letter to Chairman Mao during the Lushan Conference criticizing the Great Leap Forward. Many people in the party rushed to express their opinions on Mr. Peng.
Of course, many of the opinions are overblown. Some people criticized Mr. Peng, but they even followed the situation and followed the trend, and only a small number of comrades silently supported Mr. Peng.
One person took away the text of Mr. Peng's speech after he finished speaking. Mr. Peng wanted to have a seizure at that time, but he endured it, but he didn't expect that this person had a bad intention and took away his speech in order to better "deal with" him in the future.
This person is Ke Qingshi, who is not junior in seniority and has held important positions at both the local and central levels. At the time of the Lushan Conference, he was the mayor of Shanghai.
He saw that many people were criticizing Mr. Peng, so he wanted to study his speech more carefully and find more usable things to increase the attack.
Ke Qingshi did it, and he defined Mr. Peng as: pompous, petty bourgeois thinking seriously. When it is related to the bourgeoisie, the nature becomes serious.
President Peng got into trouble because of Ke Qingshi's criticism, and all powerful posts were removed, leaving only the title of Politburo member.
In the face of such a false accusation, Mr. Peng could not swallow such grievances. He has always been a rectograval, indisputable general, and he wants to get justice for himself and restore the truth. So in 1962, he wrote another letter to the Central Committee to refute the Lushan Conference's untrue criticism of him.
This time, he wrote more than 80,000 words in a letter, and he wanted to defend himself in detail, and in addition, he also made some suggestions to the central authorities on the employment of personnel.
Mr. Peng unabashedly pointed out Ke Qingshi's problems, saying: Ke Qingshi is not very good in character, dishonest in people, good at power tricks and political speculation, and the central authorities had better not use such people.
Mr. Peng did not lie that Ke Qingshi's move of quietly accepting his speech at the Lushan meeting could not be done by people with an open mind.
What about Ke Qingshi? He was appreciated by Chairman Mao at the Nanning Conference in 1958 and became the "number one pacesetter" of the conference. Because he found it too easy to get himself up to power by doing speculative things in his speech.
Premier Zhou was criticized by Chairman Mao at the time, and Ke Qingshi thought he had a chance to replace him. Although Ke Qingshi failed to become premier of the State Council under the intervention of Duke Deng, he understood one thing: follow Chairman Mao closely, and he can say whatever Chairman Mao says, and he will win "victory".
In 1960, Ke Qingshi was appointed first secretary of the East China Bureau of the Central Committee, and Zhang Chunqiao, a key member of the Gang of Four, gradually rose to a high position, and later caused a series of disasters and persecuted many innocent old comrades.
Unfortunately, at that time, the misunderstanding between President Peng and Chairman Mao was still very deep, and Chairman Mao did not pay attention to his suggestions, and after seeing his letter, he once again made a serious criticism of him, and later transferred him from the Central Committee to Sichuan to engage in third-line construction.
Mr. Peng was broad-minded and did not be dissatisfied with the transfer, but continued to work conscientiously.
However, Ke Qingshi was honored as "Ke Lao" because he catered to the mainstream ideas of the time, and became a vice premier of the State Council.
At that time, there were 16 vice premiers in the State Council, and Ke Qingshi ranked sixth, with unlimited scenery in the center. However, he does not seem to have the life to hold the position of vice premier, and only after three months as vice premier, he suddenly died of an ineffective illness and died in Chengdu, which is very embarrassing.
