Since the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, the number of people's troops led by the Communist Party of China has been constantly changing, and only more than 30,000 people remained in the Red Army that arrived in northern Shaanxi during the Long March, and after the victory of the War of Resistance, the people's army grew to more than 1.3 million people. During the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the number of troops reached more than 6 million, and in the 1960s and 1970s, limited by the influence of the domestic and international environment, the number of troops was once more than 6 million.
After entering the 1980s, Deng Xiaoping, then chairman of the Central Military Commission, judged according to the domestic and international environment, there would be no more large-scale wars in the world for a long time, but would be replaced by peace and development, while the domestic environment gradually stabilized, and economic construction would be the focus of work for a long time. Coupled with the bloated military organization at that time and the serious imbalance in the proportion of officers and soldiers, Deng Xiaoping put forward the demand for disarmament of 1 million, and the eleven major military regions at that time were also reorganized into seven major military regions.
The Fuzhou Military Region, Wuhan Military Region, Kunming Military Region, and Urumqi Military Region of the eleven major military regions were abolished, the Fuzhou Military Region was merged into the Nanjing Military Region, the Kunming Military Region was merged into the Chengdu Military Region, the Urumqi Military Region was merged into the Lanzhou Military Region, and the Wuhan Military Region was merged into the Guangzhou Military Region (Hubei) and the Jinan Military Region (Henan). After the reorganization of the Eleventh Military Region, the commanders of the new Seven Military Regions were also appointed.
