Among the founding marshals and founding generals of our country, there are many people who are not only revolutionary comrades-in-arms, but also relatives who are happy to tie the knot. For example, Chen Yi and Su Yu, Ye Jianying and Yu Qiuli, because of the relationship between their children, they married a family, making the relationship close to each other. Generally speaking, as relatives, the blessings and misfortunes of the two families are also common, but the pair of relatives we want to talk about today are different, and this pair of relatives is Huang Yongsheng and Liu Xingyuan. Huang Yongsheng is the founding general, Liu Xingyuan is the founding lieutenant general, at that time shocked the whole country in the September 13 incident, Huang Yongsheng was dismissed from his post and investigated, but as a pro-family Liu Xingyuan was not only not implicated, but later promoted and reused, what is going on, let's take a look at it together!
Huang Yongsheng's road to joining the army can be said to be very lucky, because in the early days of joining the revolutionary ranks, he came to chairman Mao and Luo Ronghuan's subordinates, and around these two excellent leaders, Huang Yongsheng naturally learned more than others, and thus accumulated a lot of valuable military command experience. Therefore, Huang Yongsheng's growth path was also very smooth, and he became the head of a division at the age of twenty-two.
Compared with Huang Yongsheng, Liu Xingyuan was not so lucky, he first wandered around, stayed with the old warlords, also served as a soldier on the Side of the Kuomintang, and finally joined our party. Therefore, the start with Huang Yongsheng was much worse, but because he chose the right team, Liu Xingyuan's later growth was also very fast, and in the tempering of one battle after another, he also became a senior general step by step, such as the famous Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign, Liu Xingyuan had participated. However, because of his seniority, he was one level lower than Huang Yongsheng when he was awarded the title.
Their first cooperation was in the Guangzhou Military Region, when Liu Xingyuan was the second political commissar and Huang Yongsheng was the commander of the military region. The two had worked together in Shino long before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was also a superior-subordinate relationship, and as partners in the military region, the two often needed to cooperate in handling various things. With further contact, the two people found that they were very compatible with each other's temperament, and soon established a deep friendship, and even formed a family of children and daughters, making the relationship between the two families close and intimate.
Later, Huang Yongsheng was further promoted to serve in the central government, and although Liu Xingyuan did not have the honor of Huang Yongsheng, he was later promoted and became the main person in charge of Guangdong. When the September 13 incident broke out, Huang Yongsheng was heavily criticized as one of Lin Zong's cadres, and Liu Xingyuan, as a pro-family member, was not implicated because he had already received Chairman Mao's suggestions.
At that time, Chairman Mao personally went to various places to conduct talks and exchanges in order to avoid the mistakes of a number of outstanding senior generals, including Liu Xingyuan, who was serving in the Guangzhou Military Region. At that time, Chairman Mao not only criticized Huang Yongsheng and others, but also hinted at a few words meaningfully, and Liu Xingyuan knew that only unswervingly following Chairman Mao was the right way, so he immediately made clear his attitude of vowing to follow Chairman Mao to the death, and Chairman Mao was very satisfied with his statement.
Not long after, Huang Yongsheng and others did indeed have an accident, in addition to Huang Yongsheng's wife, other people who were in close contact with him were also under scrutiny. And his wife was not implicated because Huang Yongsheng's wife Xiang Huifang was not in the same faction as him, not only that, Xiang Huifang also saved many old cadres who were framed, and eventually divorced Huang Yongsheng.
Liu Xingyuan has always been worried that his family relationship will also implicate him, so he personally wrote an inspection to express his position to the organization. After Chairman Mao saw this, he replied to Liu Xingyuan that he should relax his mind, so that he was not only not implicated, but was promoted, from the former political commissar of the Guangzhou Military Region to the commander of the Chengdu Military Region. However, not long after Liu Xingyuan's promotion, he was found to have made some mistakes in that special period of the year, so he was eventually removed from his post. However, after leaving the retirement, the organization still gave him the rank of deputy military region, compared to the ending of Huang Yongsheng and others, Liu Xingyuan was already lucky.
History will sift through the right directions for us, and what we need to do is to unswervingly stride in that direction. Chairman Mao, as the guide of our new China, has brought us hope and a direction of progress, and only by unswervingly moving in this direction can we move toward the light.
