<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > a key vote for the Zunyi meeting</h1>
In January 1935, the Red Army occupied Zunyi, Guizhou, and since the enemy could not catch up for a while and a half, our army decided to hold a "Zunyi Conference" here. The discussion at the congress was very fierce, with Bogu and Li De and others attributing the reason for the defeat to the fact that the enemy was too strong and did not admit that there was a problem with his own command; the chairman did not agree, and he listed the previous victories against "encirclement and suppression" to refute it, and for a time there was a tit-for-tat situation in which two opinions were opposed.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a key figure stood up and spoke, and he clearly supported the chairman's correct propositions and resolutely demanded that Li De and others step down and the chairman come out to command the Red Army. This person was also a high-talented student who stayed in Suzhou, named Wang Jiaxiang, and many years later, the chairman often said, "Wang Jiaxiang is meritorious, and he voted for the key vote at the Zunyi meeting." ”

Speaking of which, Wang Jiaxiang and Bogu and others are still classmates who stayed in the Soviet Union, and he studied in the Soviet Union for five years when he was young, and he belongs to the "red professor" type of figure. In 1930, Wang Jiaxiang returned to China to work, and almost at the same time, Bogu and others also returned to Shanghai. However, what is different is that Wang Jiaxiang entered the Central Soviet Region the following year as the director of the General Political Department of the Red Army, while Bogu stayed in Shanghai and was appointed to the provisional central general charge.
When he first arrived in the Soviet Area, Wang Jiaxiang met the chairman in Longgang, when he was only 25 years old, although he had studied abroad, but in his heart he only followed the truth and never copied the same. After some conversation, Wang Jiaxiang admired the chairman and later said, "He is different from the leaders I have met in China and Russia, he is unique, and the reasoning he said is so simple and clear, but also so fresh and convincing." ”
After that, Wang Jiaxiang experienced the fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" in the Central Soviet Region, and watched the Red Army win successive battles, and he trusted the chairman's military command ability even more. It wasn't long before the good situation reversed.

In 1933, Bogu and others came to the Central Soviet Area, and he did not know how to lead troops to fight, so he hired Li De as a military adviser. Li De graduated from a military academy and could only "talk on paper."The result can be imagined, the Red Army was gradually defeated and retreated, even the base areas were lost, and finally had to carry out strategic transfer. During the Long March, Bogu and Li De and others still insisted on going their own way, and after the Battle of the Xiangjiang River, the Red Army was reduced from more than 80,000 people to more than 30,000 people, and the losses were extremely heavy.
At this time, the impatient Wang Jiaxiang could no longer hold back, and he and Luo Fu (Zhang Wentian) stood up and supported the chairman's correct advice on detouring to Guizhou, and the Red Army was able to escape the disaster. In January 1935, the Zunyi Conference was held, and Wang Jiaxiang was the first to propose that the chairman come out to command the Red Army, he was the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission at the time, and his speech had weight, and this vote was undoubtedly very important. Eventually Bogu and Reed were stripped of their supreme command. After that, Wang Jiaxiang became a member of the military three-man group and participated in directing the victorious arrival of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi.

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Jiaxiang's status was very high, and he was not only the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, but also the director of the General Political Department, responsible for presiding over the daily work of the Central Military Commission. But then again, Wang Jiaxiang was good at theoretical research and did not know much about leading specific affairs, so he later became the dean of the Eighth Route Army Military and Political College. The good times did not last long, Wang Jiaxiang's old injuries recurred, and he went to the Soviet Union twice for treatment. It was not until the liberation war that he returned to the northeast to work as the acting director of the Propaganda Department of the Northeast Bureau.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Jiaxiang became the first ambassador to the Soviet Union and was also the deputy minister of foreign affairs. At that time, the Soviet Union was a big brother, and the relationship with our country was very close, and there were still many project exchanges between the two sides, and Wang Jiaxiang was able to serve as ambassador, which showed the trust of his superiors in him.
In 1951, Wang Jiaxiang returned to China, and during his time at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he worked with marshal Chen Yi, the minister. It is worth mentioning that Wang Jiaxiang was senior in the early days and had great merits, and if he participated in the awarding of titles, his rank would not be much lower than that of the marshal. But unfortunately, Wang Jiaxiang did not have a military rank, and his life path later went through several twists and turns.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > was removed from his post and devolved in his later years</h1>
In 1962, he wrote a letter suggesting that the situation of excessive foreign aid should be changed, that we should "act according to our ability" and not make enemies on all sides. As a result, he was charged with false accusations, and Wang Jiaxiang had to recuperate at home after the meeting. In 1966, Wang Jiaxiang became the deputy head of the foreign affairs team, but only two years later, he was isolated and censored and sent to Xinyang, Henan.
The successive blows made Wang Jiaxiang very tormented, but he did not fall. In 1972, Wang Jiaxiang took the initiative to write a letter to the chairman asking for a job assignment. The chairman did not forget this old comrade-in-arms, and the following year Wang Jiaxiang was re-elected as a member of the Central Committee. Unfortunately, Wang Jiaxiang died in 1974 at the age of 68.
