In the history of New China
There is such a person
Ming Ming was promoted to an official
However, he repeatedly asked for demotion
This person is Wang Hongkun, the founding general of our country
After the founding of New China
He was deeply appreciated by Chairman Mao
But in his later years
Wang Hongkun once made a fatal mistake
Let him descend to the end to idle at home
Even the late festival is not guaranteed
So what exactly did the founding general do wrong?
Next, the history jijun analyzes for you
Before getting to the point, new friends can pay a little attention
Don't miss out on future highlights, but also review past great videos
Wang Hongkun was born in 1909 in Macheng, Hubei Province
In an ordinary farming family
At that time, China was still under the rule of the Qing government
However, the Qing government at that time was already dying
Many armed uprisings have been set off in various places
The great members of the Qing court
They are all running for their own future
They squeeze the peasants like crazy
This led to Wang Hongkun's family being very poor
Because life is very difficult
And in a troubled world
Wang Hongkun has been particularly sensible since he was a child
Often help the family to do what they can
At the same time, he is also very dissatisfied with the current situation in China
So I joined the army to save the idea of the country
It came to his mind
Actually at that time he
I don't understand what it is to save the country
This young child
Just out of the troops
Be able to eat a full meal and the justice that comes from the depths of the heart
He resolutely chose to join the army
Wang Hongkun before joining the Red Army
For some special reasons
He first came to Bai Chongxi's Gui Clan Miscellaneous Army
But it didn't last long to stay there
He found that this force not only oppressed the people
And it's disorganized and undisciplined
In fact, Wang Hongkun was in his youth
I hate warlords like Bai Chongxi
He knows
It is precisely because China has countless people like Bai Chongxi
It will make the people unhappy
Just when Wang Hongkun was lost
An opportunity crept upon him
Wang Hongkun has a cousin
His name is Wang Shusheng
And this king tree sound
It has not only made outstanding contributions to the revolutionary cause of our country
He is also the founding general after the founding of New China
Wang Hongkun in the newspaper
I heard that my cousin's revolution in Macheng was very popular
So he thought about it again
A bold decision was made
That is to find your cousin
But communications at that time were not as developed as they are now
He also didn't know his cousin
What kind of situation is it over there
So he dressed up
Left Bai Chongxi's troops
Bumpy all the way to Macheng
Interestingly
Wang Hongkun, who had just arrived in Macheng
Just because of the weird dress
He was arrested as a spy
He was not released until after wang Shusheng arrived
The brothers were very excited to see Wang Hongkun
And soon after
Joined the Communist Party
After joining the party, he followed Wang Shusheng to make a revolution together
After Chiang Kai-shek launched a coup d'état
The whole of China is in a state of white panic
However, Wang Hongkun was not afraid
He actively rebelled with his cousin
He was only 18 years old
He participated in the jute uprising organized by his brother
However, the uprising did not go so well
In the course of combat
Wang Hongkun unfortunately separated from the large army
Later he inquired
The Red Army established a revolutionary regime at Jinggangshan
So they rushed to Jinggangshan
And there he met his cousin Wang Shusheng
After that
The Kuomintang army launched many encirclement and suppression wars against the Red Army
In these battles
Wang Hongkun bravely charged forward
Due to outstanding performance
At the age of 23, he was awarded the rank of division commander by the Party Central Committee
Before the War of Resistance Against Japan
The biggest battle Wang Hongkun fought was the Battle of Sujiabu
In this battle
He led the Red Army to a major victory
and on the afternoon of May 8, 1932
Officially accepted the first surrender of the Kuomintang on behalf of the Red Army
In 1937, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out
This incident directly caused the anger of the entire Chinese people
Anti-Japanese sentiment was very high throughout the country
After the Xi'an Incident
Chiang Kai-shek was forced to reach a second cooperation with the Communists
Since then, a situation of unified resistance of the whole nation has been formed throughout the country
And at this time Wang Hongkun
It also made positive preparations for the War of Resistance
He was led by order of the Party Central Committee
A brigade with seven regiments and four battalions
Remained in the area around Longdong in northern Shaanxi
Local residents heard that Wang Hongkun was here
There are many young people who have signed up for the army
After checking
Wang Hongkun found that more than a thousand more people had joined the army
This also leads to the expenditure of troops
More than 200 yuan in the present ocean
This amount of money was not a small amount at the time
So he found it
Commander Xiao Jinguang requested reimbursement
But Xiao Jinguang did not dare to rush to agree
So he asked him to go to Chairman Mao for instructions
Early 1938
Wang Hongkun traveled all the way to Yan'an to report on his recent work
On the way, Wang Hongkun was very excited and uneasy
Because this was the first time he met Chairman Mao
He has always admired the chairman
This time, I finally want to see my "idol"
But he knew he was nervous
Talk incoherently
Chairman Mao took care of everything day and day
How to make the work report as simple as possible?
And whether to mention the more than 200 oceans
A series of questions emerged in Wang Hongkun's mind
After much thought
In the end, he decided to report directly to Chairman Mao
Just like that, Wang Hongkun thought as he walked
I walked into the cave where Chairman Mao was
But what he didn't expect was
Chairman Mao was so enthusiastic
As soon as he saw him come in, he stood up and shook his hand
And pulled him to the place where he sat and asked him to sit down
Chairman Mao did not meet Wang Hongkun
But he knew that Wang Hongkun was a heroic Red Army general
After sitting down
Chairman Mao asked Wang Hongkun straight away
Recently, there have been no difficulties in food in the troops
Wang Hongkun put the troops on a difficult situation
Chairman Mao made it clear in 1510
Shun also told him about more than 200 oceans
Wang Hongkun was very grateful
Chairman Mao immediately signed a note to the Minister of Supply
The note reads four big words agreeing to reimbursement
And after signing
He said to Wang Hongkun very compassionately
It's hard for you soldiers
I know it's not easy for you
Grateful to Wang Hongkun
He also told Chairman Mao his truest thoughts
And told Chairman Mao that he wanted to study
He was afraid that Chairman Mao would not agree
He also explained that he didn't know a single word since he was a child
I didn't even go to school
Now I deeply appreciate the importance of culture
With the development of the revolution
The party now needs more intellectuals
Now I feel that I am less and less able to take on the heavy task of the revolution
So he asked Chairman Mao
As long as you can read yourself willingly not to be a brigade commander
After hearing this, Chairman Mao naturally felt that this was a good thing
So in his own name
Wrote a handwritten letter to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University
The letter expressed support for Wang Hongkun to study
But this time distance
There is only one month left before the anti-Japanese Military and Political University finishes
This made Wang Hongkun, who had a weak foundation, very worried
So he once again asked Chairman Mao to go to the Party School to study
Chairman Mao saw that he was thirsty for study and not only agreed to his request
Instead, he worked tirelessly
He wrote a letter of introduction with Kang Sheng, who was the president of the Central Party School at the time
Over time
The War of Resistance Against Japan became more and more intense
The front line is tight
In such a critical situation
Wang Hongkun graduated early
He was appointed by the Party Central Committee to serve as a division commander in the New Fourth Army
This promotion should have been a welcome thing
But Wang Hongkun wanted to refuse
He thinks he doesn't know enough
You can't lead such a large team alone
So he wrote to Kang Sheng
I wanted him to help him intercede on Chairman Mao's behalf
Returned himself to his former unit as a brigade commander
So a few days later
Chairman Mao again acceded to his request
In this way, Wang Hongkun led the troops
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, many guerrilla battles were fought
Especially in the Battle of Linnan
He led his troops in a bloody battle with the Japanese army for 9 days and 9 nights
Successfully annihilated more than 7,000 Japanese troops with fraternal troops
After that, he led his troops to participate in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments
A lot of great results have been achieved
By July 1949
At this time, New China was less than three months away from the founding of the People's Republic of China
The defeat of the Kuomintang on the mainland has also become inevitable
In order to prepare for the construction of a new China
At this time, Wang Hongkun and Li Xiannian
He served as deputy secretary and secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee respectively
But this deputy secretary's ass is not yet sitting hot
In April 1950
He suddenly received another letter of appointment from the Party Central Committee
It reads that he should go to Beijing to serve as deputy commander of the Navy
This promotion is a big step forward
Wang Hongkun after receiving the letter of appointment
There was no great joy
On the contrary, there is some sadness
He felt that the Navy was in need of modern management and so on
And now his own talent is not qualified for this position
So he found Li Xiannian
He wanted Li Xiannian to report to the Central Committee to reject the appointment
But Li Xiannian advised him to take office first
In this way, Wang Hongkun took office
He became the first deputy commander of our navy
He has made outstanding contributions to the cause of our navy
It has also cultivated many excellent naval warriors for New China
In 1955
The Party Central Committee awarded Wang Hongkun
The title of founding general
In this way, Wang Hongkun reached the peak of his career
He had been obscure
Continue to contribute to new China
But in his later years he was blinded
In 1966, my country entered a period of ten years of turmoil
During this period the economic development of our country
It has entered a stage of stagnation
Some reactionary forces in the country
It was rampant at this time
Many founding heroes were killed
As Wang Hongkun was young
He was Lin Biao's subordinate
Therefore, he was seduced by Lin Biao and others
I was kept in the dark
But he has been helping the reactionaries
This can be done shortly after
Wang Hongkun suddenly woke up
I knew I had made a terrible mistake
So he pulled back from the cliff
After the domestic situation has stabilized
Take the initiative to review your mistakes with your superiors
So he saved his life
He was then stripped of all his positions
Idle at home
In 1993, the great general who had been fighting all his life died of illness
He died on December 31, 2012 at the age of 8
Wang Hongkun's life
He has made many contributions to the cause of the Chinese revolution
But in his later years
Mistakes have also been committed
Fortunately, he stopped the loss in time for the cliff pull
It didn't cause a catastrophe
His deeds will be recorded in the annals
Merit and demerit are also commented upon by later generations
But whatever
None of us can forget the general
Contribution to the country
