<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > "Bright Sword", Ding Wei was promoted to the rank of regular army, earlier than Li Yunlong, why was he only awarded the rank of major general? </h1>
Ding Wei in "Bright Sword" has the feelings and righteousness to fight good battles, and he is already the commander of the column as early as the Liaoshen Campaign to fight Jinzhou. The column was equivalent to the later army, and the corresponding military rank was the regular army level.
At the same time, Li Yunlong was still at the level of a regular division at the time of the Battle of Huaihai. In terms of timeline, Ding Wei was promoted to the rank of regular army earlier than Li Yunlong, and lieutenant general was separated by a layer of deputy military rank. If this is the case, why was Ding Wei also awarded the rank of major general?

According to the principle of conferring ranks in 1955, the rank of lieutenant general can be awarded. Ding Wei's resume is indeed good, or can reach the middle general, awarding the major general is not too much of a loss.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Ding Wei conferring the rank of major general, which can be summed up in one sentence: there are no fewer battle achievements, and no fewer mistakes have been made. Combined with military history, the author analyzes the issue of Ding Wei's military rank for everyone.
1. Ding Wei's origin;
The TV series "Bright Sword" does not explain Much about Ding Wei's origin, but it can be known that he and Li Yunlong were soldiers at the same time and participated in the Long March. In the original novel, Du Liang borrowed Li Yunlong's mouth to make an explanation of Ding Wei's origin. Ding Wei had already finished junior high school long before joining the Red Army, which was rare in the Red Army and belonged to a veritable great intellectual.

According to the custom, Ding Wei was suitable for taking the political work route, but people liked to fight wars, from platoon commander to military commander. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to understand why Li Yunlong's father-in-law Tian Moxuan does not hate Ding Wei, and there is ink in people's stomachs.
2. Ding Wei's exploits and mistakes;
Like Li Yunlong, Ding Wei belongs to the master of "hearing war is happy, and there is no war tossing". Ding Wei was particularly capable of fighting, and was the commander of the column when he fought Jinzhou.
In the last battle of the Liaoshen Campaign, Ding Wei did not wait for the reinforcements, and with a division, he attacked Liao Yaoxiang's corps, as if he had entered no man's land. It can be seen from this that Ding Wei's battle achievements are no problem.

There are as many battle achievements as there are mistakes, and Ding Wei is not ambiguous about this. Those who have watched "Bright Sword" know that Kong Jie complained that Ding Wei secretly brewed wine when he was the commander of the second division in the northeast, and not only drank it himself but also engaged in trading. In fact, Kong Jie did not finish. Ding Wei in the original work, in addition to selling wine, also sells large tobacco soil, which is a big problem.
In the early days of the Liberation War, Dongye had many difficulties, especially the shortage of living materials. What to do? Our army also has the discipline to demand that we cannot take a needle and a thread from the masses, and Ding Wei's sale of large tobacco soil is also an extraordinary move in an extraordinary period, which is the same mistake as Li Yunlong's crossing the grassland to grab grain.

Not only that, as soon as Ding Wei encountered the rest of the troops, he handed over the troops to the political commissar and ran to Harbin to get off the restaurant and dance. Ding Wei's life style is not good, but fortunately, after the founding of the Country, it has been somewhat restrained, and the award of major generals has been taken care of.
It is not that the senior generals of our army have been demoted because of their life style, but Yin Xianbing was originally assigned to lieutenant general because of the problem of life style, and the rank was directly demoted to colonel.
3. Ding Wei's archetypal characters;
In the original novel, when the "Iron Triangle" arrived at the time of awarding the title, he felt that his rank was low. Ding Wei was no exception, and complained to Li Yunlong:
"Did you read the list of titles?" Except for me, the commanders of our four fields column are at least lieutenant generals, and the column commanders that Wang Daya and I mentioned together, this time we also make a lieutenant general, give me a major general, where is the reason for this? This dress lao tzu does not wear. ”

Ding Wei's complaints provide us with two key clues:
The first-class commander of the Siye Column, except for Ding Wei, was at least a lieutenant general;
Ding Wei and Wang Daya were the commander of the column together, and Wang Daya was Liang Xingchu.

But what Ding Wei said was different, in addition to himself and He Jinnian was also awarded the rank of major general. He Jinnian's life history is obviously inconsistent with Ding Wei, and Zhong Wei's resume is highly gentle with Ding Wei. After Ding Wei was awarded the title of major general, he became the chief of staff of the Beijing Military Region, which is the same as Zhong Wei's experience of low rank and high match.
IV. 55 Criteria for Awarding the Rank of Major General;
In 1955, the rank of major general was mostly awarded to the rank of regular army, deputy army, and quasi-army, and there were very few major generals at the rank of deputy corps and quasi-corps, and only He Jinnian, Xie Fang, Chen Yi, and Duan Suquan were awarded. In fact, it is no problem for these four people to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and most of the deputy corps level and the rank of quasi-corps are awarded to lieutenant general.
The number of ranks conferred on the rank of lieutenant general is as follows:
Corps level (1 person), deputy corps level (22 people), quasi-corps level (53 people), regular army level (96 people).

It can be seen that the lieutenant general of the regular army occupies half of the founding lieutenant general. Although Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong are all at the rank of regular army, they can be awarded lieutenant generals not only on the rank of military rank. The 55 titles have a general principle, focusing on a seniority and military merit.
Taking Pi Dingjun as an example, like Ding Wei, he is a regular military rank and was originally scheduled to be awarded the rank of major general. However, Chairman Mao considered that Pi Dingjun had made great achievements in the breakthrough of the Central Plains, and he had the saying that "Pi has meritorious service and is less in jinzhong." Although Ding Wei's battle achievements were great, there were no particularly outstanding combat cases that affected the overall situation.
