The history of the Grand Military Region in China can be traced back to the revolutionary period as early as the revolutionary period.
In 1932, the Jiangxi Military Region was established, and in the next two years or so, a number of military regions divided by geographical names were also established.
However, in the revolutionary situation at that time, the disparity between the enemy and our forces was very large, and our army could only adopt the method of guerrilla warfare, and the jurisdiction of the military region was greatly affected.
After the founding of New China, the strategic areas of the whole country began to be redivided, and the original six major military regions were also adjusted to twelve major military regions, and many generals would be in charge of a military region for a long time.
Yang Dezhi stayed in the Jinan Military Region for 18 years, until the military region was transferred, and in these 18 years, the political commissar had changed four times.

< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Tan Qilong</h1>
Tan Qilong's experience is also enough to be called a legend, he is a very famous presence in the ranks of the Red Army, and Hu Yaobang is called two well-known "little red devils", during this period, Chairman Mao affectionately praised: "You are a cowherd and a proletariat in the countryside." ”
In the process of crossing the river all the way south by the People's Liberation Army, he was the political commissar of the Corps.
After the founding of New China, he served as the first secretary of the provincial party committee of Zhejiang, Qinghai, Sichuan, and Shandong provinces, and his life experience can be described as quite rich, and the organization that let him go to the Position of Political Commissar of the Jinan Military Region was naturally very profound.
In May 1949, according to the instructions of the central government, Tan Qilong came to Zhejiang to work, and for five years, he has been paying attention to the construction of Zhejiang.
Because of his strong sense of revolutionary dedication and political responsibility, Tan Qilong has also done a very good job in this regard, allowing the economy to recover in a very short period of time.
Since 1955, the strategic areas of the whole country have embarked on the road of redividation, and the Shandong Military Region, which originally belonged to the East China Military Region, will also be renamed the Jinan Military Region, with Yang Dezhi as the commander and Tan Qilong as the political commissar.
Yang Dezhi's prestige in the military was very large, and he was the later founding general of the country.
According to the concept of military regions that many people understood in the past, the commander is the rank of general, so the political commissar must at least be the rank of general, but Tan Qilong, the political commissar of the Jinan Military Region, did not participate in the awarding ceremony, so there was no rank.
This is because when the central government transferred Tan Qilong to Shandong, he was mainly responsible for the work of the Shandong sub-bureau, and he also intended to make Tan Qilong the first secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee.
In fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, all localities needed to be restored and developed, so it was unnecessary to leave so many people in the army, and Tan Qilong also left the army to work at the local level.
Although he later returned to Shandong and concurrently served as the political commissar of the military region, belonging to the senior general of the zhengbing regiment, in actual work, he was mainly responsible for local governance, and he hardly managed the affairs of the troops, so he did not participate in the awarding of titles.
During this period, he promoted the development of agriculture, industry and various undertakings in the province, led the people of the province to struggle hard with the spirit of "moving mountains with foolishness", changed the natural appearance of agricultural production in Shandong, and established many advanced agricultural models.
He called on local governments at all levels to strengthen national defense construction and army building, and to promote the unity of the military and the government and between the military and the people to achieve a brand-new situation.
It is precisely because of such an experience that he can later serve as the secretary of the provincial party committee in many places, even if there is no military rank at this time, it still does not affect Tan Qilong to make a career.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Shutong</h1>
From the perspective of seniority, Shu Tong did ideological and political work without any problems.
Under the direct influence of the May Fourth Movement, he and his like-minded classmates jointly established a society of "Jinlan Classmates Society", and was admitted to the Jiangxi Provincial Third Normal School with excellent results, and later organized the "Marxist Research Society" with his classmates, and in 1926, he joined the Communist Party with excellent performance.
During the Red Army period, he participated in five anti-"encirclement and suppression" operations in the Central Soviet Region, and served as the chief of the propaganda section and the director of the political department during the Long March, and wrote many articles during the period, which played a great help in boosting the morale of the Red Army.
After arriving in northern Shaanxi, Shu Tong also participated in many battles such as Zhiluo Town and Mountain Castle, and his performance was outstanding.
In 1944, Shu Tong came to the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Border Region and made great contributions to the development and expansion of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Base Area.
Later, during the Liberation War, he worked in the Political Department of the Shandong Military Region and participated in and commanded many important battles including Lunan, Laiwu and Jinan.
Wu Huawen, the commander of the 96th Army, revolted in the Battle of Jinan that year, and had a lot to do with Shu Tong.
However, after the founding of New China, Shu Tong also came to the localities and began to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the East China Bureau and concurrently served as the propaganda minister and other positions to promote ideological construction in the context of New China.
When Tan Qilong was working in Shandong, taking into account the specific conditions of Shandong, Tan Qilong made a suggestion to Chen Yi, hoping that a comrade who knew Shandong better would take up the position of first secretary, and he could also serve as the second secretary.
Chen Yi carefully considered this opinion, and recommended Shu Tong to the Central Committee after studying with the East China Bureau, so from 1954 onwards, Shu Tong served as the first secretary of Shandong.
Therefore, he also concurrently served as the first political commissar of the Jinan Military Region, and has been partnering with Yang Dezhi.
During this period, he was also elected as a member of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, leading the socialist revolution and construction of the people of Shandong, and also achieved great achievements.
In specific work, Shu Tong also left the army, mainly serving in local positions, and similar to Tan Qilong, he did not participate in the awarding of titles.
Later, he temporarily gave up his work and had more time to pursue what he loved, especially calligraphy.
He boldly tried, and also formed his own calligraphy style, the original "Shu body", which was particularly respected by everyone and became a famous Chinese calligraphy artist.
He was knowledgeable, but he did not have the slightest pride, no matter who asked for words, he answered them one by one, and these ink treasures became rare treasures later.
After his comeback in 1978, he came to the People's Liberation Army Academy of Military Sciences as vice president and also became a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Zeng Xisheng</h1>
Similar to Shu Tong, Zeng Xisheng also accepted progressive ideas relatively early.
After being admitted to the Hunan Provincial Third Normal School in 1920, he was influenced by the new culture and new ideas, began to actively participate in the progressive activities of students, and joined the Chinese Socialist Youth League in 1922.
Moreover, after graduating in 1925, in the context of the Northern Expedition, he was also admitted to the Guangzhou Huangpu Military Academy and participated in the famous Northern Expedition, and since then he has already shown his head.
At that time, he served as a regimental instructor of the Eighth Army of the National Revolutionary Army and a military captain of the Hankou Teaching Regiment.
During the Red Army period, he began to do reconnaissance and intelligence work, exerting his lifelong learning, and during the Red Army's several anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaigns, he provided a large amount of accurate information.
Chairman Mao praised his intelligence work, and specifically mentioned that he was a "pioneer" in the intelligence work of the Red Army, and he was also specially awarded the Second Class Red Star Medal by the Central Military Commission for deciphering many enemy codebooks.
Before the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, he was sent to the Yan'an Anti-Japanese War to participate in the study, and also presided over the compilation of a book entitled "Spy Service", and during the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was also sent to Chongqing, which was a very dangerous place, where he was mainly responsible for the intelligence work of the Southern Bureau of the COMMUNIST Party.
During the Liberation War, he served as the political commissar of the Sixth Column of the East China Field Army, and later served as the commander of the Western Henan Military Region, leading his troops to participate in the Battle of Huaihai.
This road to the south and the northern war also made him a great achievement, because he had a lot of experience in intelligence work and political and ideological work, after the founding of the country, he also came to the local leadership position.
During the 1955 conferment ceremony, Zeng Xisheng was not awarded the title because he did not hold a position in the army at this time.
During that time, he was in charge of anhui, attached great importance to research and investigation, and began to vigorously develop productive forces, especially in the process of crop planting, he adopted the method of "intensive cultivation" to promote the development of agricultural economy.
Later, he concurrently served as the second secretary of the East China Bureau and the first secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, and served as a political commissar in the Jinan Military Region, with Yang Dezhi as a partner.
It is worth mentioning that the "responsibility field" model previously established by him in combination with reality has been further developed later, which is also the prelude to the later household contract responsibility system.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Xu Liqing</h1>
Among these 4 political commissars, Xu Liqing is a very special presence, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955.
As early as 1929, he joined the Peasants' Self-Defense Army in Shangcheng County, Henan Province, and joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
During the period of the agrarian revolution, he successively served as the chief of the organization section, the director of the political department, and other positions, and also led his troops to participate in the anti-"encirclement and suppression" operations in Eyuwan and Sichuan-Shaanxi Suzhou regions, and participated in the Long March with large troops.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Xu Liqing was the head of the Organization Unit of the Political Department of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the director of the Political Office of the Cavalry Regiment.
In 1944, he was already the political commissar of the newly organized Fourth Brigade of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Jinsui Joint Defense Force, and in the subsequent counterattack on Yetaishan, he and the brigade commander Wang Jinshan jointly commanded the troops to take the main offensive task, smashed the conspiracy of the Kuomintang troops to seize Guanzhong through Yetai Mountain, and closely defended the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.
During the period of the Liberation War, Xu Liqing's achievements in political work were fully reflected.
In the campaign against The Polo Fort in Hengshan County, he closely cooperated with the local underground party organization and won an uprising of more than 3,000 kuomintang Hu Jingduo troops.
In 1947, he came to the Northwest Field Army as director of the political department, and participated in many major battles including the Yan'an Defense War, the Battle of Panlong, and the Battle of Shajiadian.
Unlike the previous three political commissars, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Liqing still served in the army, and led his troops into Xinjiang, where he continued his political work, conscientiously implemented the Communist Party's ethnic policy, and quickly eliminated the estrangement between ethnic groups and opened up a completely new work situation.
When the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, he returned to Beijing and served as deputy director of the General Cadre Management Department of the People's Liberation Army.
In 1973, Xu Liqing came to the Jinan Military Region as a political commissar.
Later, he also went to the Chengdu Military Region as a political commissar.
It is worth mentioning that when the military rank was first evaluated, Xu Liqing cooperated with Luo Ronghuan to make an evaluation, in order to make the award ceremony go smoothly, he himself was even more high-spirited, took the initiative to request demotion, and eventually became a founding lieutenant general, if according to his seniority assessment, in fact, the general is not excessive.
