The name Huang Kecheng must be familiar to many people, he is one of the founding generals, in 1955 was awarded the rank of great general, in the War of Resistance He made countless merits, it is reasonable to say that Huang Kecheng, a person who has been fighting horses for half a lifetime, should not be separated from the army for a lifetime, but in fact, on the contrary, Huang Kecheng actually embarked on the political road after obtaining the rank of great general for 10 years, and became the vice governor of Shanxi Province, why is this, and at that time he also had two top bosses, these two people did not have any military ranks, How could the three of them form a leadership team?
In fact, there is a reason for the central government's arrangement, Huang Kecheng as a military general was originally a military general who had made great military achievements, in the period of land reform, Huang Kecheng had already thrown himself into the battlefield, at that time Huang Kecheng was extremely brave in battle, when attacking Xiushui City, he rushed to the front with a large knife, which showed how brave his battle was, at that time he even dug people under the eyes of the generals of the nationalist army, that courage really did not have many people to compare with it, in fact, Huang Kecheng was not only brave, he had another advantage, That is to speak up.
However, it was precisely because he dared to speak up and harmed him; at that time, after the Japanese invaders were driven out of the country, the Kwantung Army in the northeast region also withdrew to Japan, and as soon as the Japanese army withdrew, the northeast region was equivalent to no army, so both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party wanted to seize the northeast region as soon as possible, and Huang Kecheng directly proposed to the central authorities at that time to send troops to the three northeastern provinces, and it was necessary to develop the base area before the Kuomintang It was precisely because of this great achievement that Huang Kecheng was able to award the rank of general, and later because of his habit of daring to speak and make suggestions, he also made a lot of suggestions at the Lushan Conference, which made many people dissatisfied with Huang Kecheng, so after the end of the meeting, Huang Kecheng has not held an important position, almost an idle person.
Huang Kecheng's idle time at that time was not short, and in the end he really couldn't stand it, so he took the initiative to write to Chairman Mao to admit his problems, and also expressed his willingness to continue to contribute to the country, Chairman Mao was very happy after seeing Huang Kecheng's letter, and immediately appointed Huang Kecheng as vice governor of Shanxi Province, 63-year-old Huang Kecheng immediately rushed to Shanxi to take office after receiving the order, why would the central government let a military general serve as a civilian, in fact, Huang Kecheng served as a civilian during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and did a very good job. After the Battle of Pingjin, he served as the mayor of Tianjin and the secretary of the provincial party committee, but it was only because he was so good at fighting that everyone did not notice his ability to govern the country.
After Huang Kecheng arrived in Shanxi, he managed Shanxi together with two top bosses, one of whom was Wei Heng, secretary of the provincial party committee, who also made a lot of contributions to the establishment of new China, and he was always responsible for propaganda work in the rear, because there were not many literate people in the army at that time, Wei Heng was arranged to go to the rear to carry out propaganda because he had read books, and propaganda at that time was not as simple as it is now, because the soldiers at that time were almost illiterate, and it was very difficult to publicize some progressive ideas. But Wei Heng did a very good job, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he continued to serve as a civilian, and finally achieved the position of provincial party secretary, as for Huang Kecheng's other boss is the governor Wang Qian, Wang Qian also worked in the rear during the War of Resistance, basically doing some civilian duties, has rich management experience, and Wang Qian has a little similar to Huang Kecheng, that is, dare to tell the truth.
Everyone should know that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country experienced a period of exaggeration, when Wang Qian was in the meeting, there was a comrade who actually said that the yield of sweet potato mu in a place in Shanxi was one million catties, and everyone agreed after listening to it, only Wang Qian asked if you had personally gone to see it, the comrade said that he had been there, and after the meeting Wang Qian let the comrade stay, and then jokingly asked if an acre of land could really achieve such a yield, then how many of you had to be buried, and the comrade immediately bowed his head and did not dare to speak when he heard this. Because he understood that Wang Qian was asking him not to be exaggerated, afterwards Wang Qian immediately called the leaders of the newspaper to let them never report on sweet potatoes, and under Wang Qian's efforts, Shanxi's pompous style has been greatly curbed, and he and Huang Kecheng are very similar to Huang Kecheng when they dare to speak, so it is most appropriate for the three of them to form a leading group to manage Shanxi.
