In "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie were all awarded the rank of major general in the Iron Triangle of Northwest Shanxi, and more scenes were given. The three of them all thought that their rank of major general had been lowered, and even other generals had changed into new military uniforms after being awarded, but the three of them just didn't change it, and they also spoke coldly, showing great emotion and dissatisfaction.
Interestingly, the emotions and dissatisfaction of the three people also aroused the resonance and contention of many military fans. Many of them believed that the three of them deserved to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general based on their military exploits and performances. We can't help but ask: Is it true that the rank of major general in the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province has been lowered? What kind of rank should they have been conferred? Why is it said that Li Yunlong is the most unjust in conferring the rank of major general?
First, the dissatisfaction with the award of titles in the Northwest Iron Triangle of Shanxi Province was completely amplified by the TV series.
In the TV series, there are more scenes in the dissatisfaction of the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province with the award of the rank of major general, in fact, this is completely the need of TV drama art. For this point, we might as well roughly connect this scene with the real history, so that we can have a more objective and rational understanding.
In 1955, when the title was conferred, it was at the time of the Northwest Iron Triangle of Shanxi Province that he was Xi studying in the Battle Department of Nanjing Military Academy. In the real history, there were a total of 52 cadets in the battle department at that time. These trainees were eventually awarded the rank of general, including Yang Dezhi, Chen Xilian, Li Tianyou, Han Xianchu, and Liu Zhen 5 people, 23 people who were awarded the rank of lieutenant general, including Zhang Zhen, Liao Hansheng, and Qin Jiwei, and 24 people who were awarded the rank of major general, including Ding Sheng, Xiao Quanfu, and Xie Zhenhua.
In real history, there are not many people who think that the military rank is lowered. In particular, on the issue of conferring titles on the 52 senior generals of the Military Academy's Campaign Department, neither their own memories nor the reflections of Liu Bocheng, Zhong Qiguang, and other leaders of the academy have heard any voices dissatisfied with their ranks. For example, some people think that Liao Hansheng's rank of lieutenant general is lower, and he can be rated as a general. But we see that Liao Hansheng himself has no complaints about his being rated as a lieutenant general in his recollections. And when we watched the TV series, all of them were pushed out of the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi at once, reflecting that the three people were not satisfied with their military ranks. Obviously, the real history of the Military Academy has nothing like this at all, but the "Bright Sword" TV series is just fictional and grafted with such a bridge to enhance the effect of TV art and character portrayal.
Second, it should be reasonable for the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province to be assessed as a major general with the post of army commander.
Regarding the question of what military rank should be awarded to the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi, we might as well quantitatively analyze it from several aspects.
First of all, in terms of military merits, the three of them are all well-known war generals, and they have fought many battles, and their military exploits fully support their conferring the rank of lieutenant general.
On the issue of performance, this is not easy to quantify. Kong Jie is decent, and Li Yunlong and Ding Wei have made many "mistakes". But these problems are still not big issues affecting military ranks. The main thing is to look at their qualifications and positions.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, all three of them served as regiment commanders, and this experience is not low, which can fully support the award of the rank of lieutenant general. During the Liberation War, Li Yunlong was the division commander when he arrived at the Huaihai Campaign, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie were slightly better and promoted to the army level. Before and after the liberation, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were both promoted to military commanders, and when the title was awarded, all three of them were military commanders. And the position of army commander is basically the rank of major general. This can be corroborated by the actual award of the rank of commander in the 1955 grand award.
Of the more than 60 army commanders and political commissars who were awarded the title in 1955, only six were awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and the vast majority of the rest were awarded the rank of major general. Compared with the time of serving as a military commander in the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi, they should be among the major generals.
We might as well compare the three with the 23 people mentioned above who were also Xi at the Military Academy and were awarded lieutenant generals, and it is not difficult to find that most of those people reached the deputy military post before the Armageddon, and they all took up military posts earlier than the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Jin. Some people have put forward the example of Wen Yucheng, believing that he once served as a division commander in Zhong Wei's column. But we also have to look at it more comprehensively, Wen Yucheng served as the commander and political commissar of the 18th Brigade of the 6th Division of the New Fourth Army as early as 1941, and at this time, the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province was a regimental position. As for the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Wen Yucheng served as the commander of the 40th Army when he was the first batch to go abroad to fight, and he added a lot of points to his evaluation of lieutenant generals.
To sum up, it is reasonable for the Northwest Iron Triangle of Shanxi Province to be awarded the title of major general.
Third, the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province is the most unjust in terms of Major General Li Yunlong.
Perhaps because Li Yunlong's prototype is Wang Jinshan, and Wang Jinshan is a lieutenant general, it is said that Wang Jinshan is not satisfied with awarding one of the generals. Therefore, when people docked Li Yunlong with Wang Jinshan, they always felt that Li Yunlong's military rank should be the same as Wang Jinshan's, so he had to be awarded a lieutenant general. In fact, the characters portrayed are fictional characters after all. Based on Li Yunlong's experience alone, as well as a big "basket" mistake he made, especially when he was still a division commander during the Huaihai Campaign, he recuperated from his wounds for a long time, and only became a military commander when he was conferred the title. With his qualifications, it is impossible to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
In the TV series, Li Yunlong made the most trouble with Major General. He has always thought that he is older than Ding Wei and Kong Jie. During the Iron Triangle period in the northwest of Shanxi, he always took the lead in his cooperation with Ding Wei and Kong Jie. But in fact, from the perspective of the later development path, especially in the later period of the Liberation War and the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, Li Yunlong's military rank was later than Ding Wei and Kong Jie. Ding Wei is based on Zhong Wei of Siye. At the time of the Liaoshen Campaign, he had been promoted to the commander of the column. Kong Jie, on the other hand, participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea as a military commander. Ding Wei's experience as a column commander and Kong Jie's experience as a commander of the Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea were all earlier than Li Yunlong. From this point of view, the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province has been awarded major generals, and although Li Yunlong has made the most trouble, he is actually the one who has been awarded the most unjust major general among the three.
In the next article, we will mainly talk about the grafting and superposition of multiple characters and stories in "Bright Sword", is there a sense of jumping and disobedience? Is it considered a divine drama? Shuai Ke will focus on the objectivity, historicity, and rationality of the character portrayal and the story.
