Since General Qin Jiwei delivered that speech, the situation has suddenly become complicated. Marshal Chen Yi's words made Qin Jiwei's doubts surge in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Chen, is the central government going to remove me from my post?" Is there something wrong with my work? Marshal Chen Yi smiled and proposed to drink first, Qin Jiwei would definitely have a bottom in his heart.
Qin Jiwei put down his heart, knowing that Marshal Chen Yi was not a close friend with him, and his future work arrangements should not be too harsh. So, he agreed to Chen Yi's proposal and sat down to chat while tasting wine. Chen Yi smiled and said, "There are three glasses of wine here, and I'll talk about the removal after you finish drinking." I'm half your husband-in-law, and I won't pit you. Qin Jiwei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Marshal Chen Yi, his heart full of curiosity. He began to wonder why Marshal Chen Yi suddenly mentioned "dismissal" and whether this meant that he was ushering in a major change.
However, Marshal Chen Yi's "removal" did not really mean that Qin Jiwei would lose his post. In fact, Marshal Chen Yi already had a new plan, and he planned to arrange an unusual job for Qin Jiwei. Qin Jiwei's military career began in Huang'an, Hubei Province, but at the age of 11, a plague took his family. He then took part in the Jute Uprising, thus embarking on a long revolutionary road.
Soon after joining the Red Army, Qin Jiwei showed extraordinary courage and wisdom. During one battle, he noticed the Hanyang-made rifle in the enemy's hand and rushed forward without hesitation, forcing the enemy back with a shuttle dart, and won the victory for the Red Army. This feat allowed Qin Jiwei to stand out in the Red Army, and years of combat training made him an excellent martial artist, especially good at knife skills.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Qin Jiwei went to Jinzhong and founded the 129th Division Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment, also known as the "Qin Lai Detachment", which numbered in the thousands. He formed the Great Knife Team, which was dedicated to hoeing operations. In one operation, the Dao team successfully eliminated more than 100 heinous traitors, which caused a huge shock. A few days later, the Dao team attacked again and killed more than 260 traitors and devils, which made the puppet army and puppet government personnel in Jinzhong terrified, and the Japanese did not dare to go out at night. Qin Jiwei had been active in northern China and did not have much contact with Chen Yi, who was in charge of the New Fourth Army at the time.
However, they met in the Liberation War, and before the Huaihai Campaign, the Central Plains Field Army, in order to strengthen its strength, transferred Qin Jiwei to Bo'ai County, Henan to form the 9th Column of the Jin-Hebei-Luyu Field Army, and participated in the capture of Zhengzhou. At a party, Chen Yi learned that Qin Jiwei was a good singing player, prompting him to perform a song "Borrowing the East Wind". After hearing this, Chen Yi greatly appreciated it, and sighed: "Okay, it's really authentic!" Sing well, words are good, call the wind and rain, burn the warship. At the beginning, Sun and Liu looked like each other, and they could burn Cao Cao's 100,000 warships. Now that the two major field armies have joined forces, the enemy is afraid enough. The victory in the Huaihai Campaign made Chen Yi big-hearted, but Qin Jiwei did not know what kind of changes all this would trigger.
After the victory in the battle, PLA troops entered the city of Zhengzhou. Chen Yi did not mention his previous promise, but instead invited Qin Jiwei to dine together. Qin Jiwei personally drove and accompanied Chen Yi and another general, Chen Geng, around the city of Zhengzhou, and eventually only ate at a small restaurant. Although Qin Jiwei was punished for violating discipline, his personal friendship with Chen Yi gradually deepened. In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Qin Jiwei led the 15th Army to win a brilliant victory in the Battle of Shangganling, which forced the United States to sign an armistice agreement with China and North Korea. Qin Jiwei's popularity rose rapidly, becoming deputy commander of the Kunming Military Region and later promoted to lieutenant general. Two years later, he became the head of the Kunming Military Region
Lingyuan, once again, proved his military talent and leadership ability.
Although Qin Jiwei came from a poor background, he has always been a studious person. As a child, he was considered a "problem child" because of his mischievous mischief and did not like to read. However, once embarking on the revolutionary journey, he quickly realized the preciousness of knowledge and took the initiative to learn. He kept a diary every day, practiced his presentation skills, and gradually, his literacy and eloquence improved considerably. Although it cannot be compared with the literati who have learned the rich and the five cars, Qin Jiwei's cultural level has far exceeded that of ordinary people. Premier Zhou once said jokingly: "Qin Jiwei is an uncultured person among cultural people, a cultural person among uncultured people." Although this sentence is a bit joking, it also expresses Qin Jiwei's extraordinary characteristics.
In 1964, Premier Zhou and Marshal Chen Yi completed their visits to 14 countries in Asia and Africa, further expanding the influence of New China. During the break in Kunming, the provincial government held a grand reception for the diplomatic delegation, and Qin Jiwei, as the commander of the military region, was invited to deliver a speech. His eloquence was already outstanding and passionate, expressing respect and support for his comrades on the diplomatic front. The audience applauded like thunder, and Premier Zhou and Marshal Chen Yi also nodded slightly, exchanging glances tacitly. They understand each other's intentions. Subsequently, Marshal Chen Yi suddenly mentioned "removal", indicating the new arrangement he had planned for Qin Jiwei.
Qin Jiwei agreed with the idea of being called "half an old man" because he and his wife Tang Xianmei were revolutionary comrades-in-arms and loved each other affectionately. And Tang Xianmei is related to Marshal Chen Yi, a Sichuan Lezhiren, and according to Sichuan customs, Chen Yi can call Tang Xianmei a relative. This seemingly distorted relationship made Chen Yi Qin Jiwei's "half-old man".
However, Qin Jiwei still had doubts about Marshal Chen Yi's new arrangement. He pondered whether his education was good enough for diplomatic work and worried that he would have difficulties interacting with foreigners. Especially the language barrier made him a little worried. But Marshal Chen Yi's unwavering support boosted his confidence, and he decided to unconditionally obey the orders of the party and the state. This spirit of military obedience is admirable.
Qin Jiwei began to actively prepare for new work, supplementing diplomatic knowledge and foreign languages. His progress was rapid, and the Party Central Committee was proud of his diligence and determination. However, everything changed when he was notified to go to the hospital for a medical examination. Doctors accidentally discovered a hidden heart problem that, although not serious, was not suitable for diplomatic work in a foreign land. For the sake of his health, the Party Central Committee decided to keep him in his original post and continue to serve as the commander of the Kunming Military Region. Although Qin Jiwei was a little reluctant to work diplomatically, he accepted this decision without hesitation.
This story may be insignificant, but it shows the obedience of PLA generals. They have not only performed well on the battlefield, but also shown outstanding talents in different fields. These soldiers are the pride of China and deserve our deep admiration.
