Mao Zedong awarded the rank of marshal
Such a large-scale collective title is strictly evaluated according to the standard of "morality, talent, capital, and merit", and "morality, talent, and merit" is not easy to quantify, but "capital" has traces to follow.
Its rating criterion is the 1952 cadre rating.
In March 1952, the People's Liberation Army determined the rank of military cadres, which were divided into 9 grades and 21 grades:
First class, chairman, vice chairman, commander-in-chief of the Central Military Commission;

They were Wang Dongxing, then director of the Ninth Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security and director of the Security Bureau of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, and Huang Zhengqing, commander of the Gannan Military Subdistrict and vice governor of Gansu Province.
Wang Dongxing and Huang Zhengqing became the only two founding major generals without an army rating.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >03, first guard</h1>
Wang Dongxing, a native of Yiyang, Jiangxi, was born in January 1916 to a poor peasant family.
In 1929, at the age of 13, Wang Dongxing threw himself into the vigorous agrarian revolution, participated in the peasant revolt led by Fang Zhimin, and successively served as the leader of the Children's Regiment in Hetan Township, Yiyang County, and the leader of the Young Pioneers.
In January 1931, Wang Dongxing joined the Communist Youth League and served as the secretary of the township branch of the Communist Youth League and the deputy secretary of the district committee of the Communist Youth League.
In 1932, Wang Dongxing turned from a regiment member to a party member, joined the Red 10 Army founded by Fang Zhimin and others, and successively served as a soldier, squad leader, platoon leader, and battalion youth officer of the 1st Battalion of the 84th Regiment of the Red 10 Army.
In January 1933, he entered the Central Revolutionary Base Area with the Red 10th Army, successively serving as an instructor of the Pengyang Infantry School, an instructor of the Cadre Regiment and Company of the Central Column, an instructor of the Cavalry Brigade of the Special Cadre Regiment of the University of the Red Army, and successively participated in the Fourth and Fifth Anti-"Encirclement and Suppression" Struggles and the Long March in the Central Soviet Region.
During the period of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Dongxing was mainly responsible for the work of the military health hospital, and most of the positions he held were related to health and hospitals.
It was Mao Zedong who changed Wang Dongxing's fate.
In March 1947, when Chiang Kai-shek gathered heavy troops to launch a major offensive against northern Shaanxi, Mao Zedong decided to temporarily abandon Yan'an and move to northern Shaanxi.
At this time, Mao Zedong selected Wang Dongxing, who was then the director of the second office of the Ministry of Social Affairs, to work in the central organs, and served as deputy chief of staff and director of the security department of the headquarters of the three detachments directly under the central organs.
After the founding of New China, Wang Dongxing served as deputy director of the Office of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Security Department, and thereafter concurrently served as deputy director of the Secretariat Office of the State Council, vice minister of public security, and director of the General Staff Security Bureau.
Although Wang Dongxing held many duties, one task that never changed was to be responsible for Mao Zedong's security work.
Wang Dongxing reported to Mao Zedong
Wang Dongxing lived with Mao Zedong day and night for nearly 30 years, until Mao Zedong's death in 1976, when he was personally responsible for Mao Zedong's security work.
Mao Zedong was based in Zhongnanhai, and he was responsible for security;
Mao Zedong's first visit to the Soviet Union, he was responsible for security;
Mao Zedong went out to inspect, and he was also responsible for safety!
Mao Zedong entrusted his personal safety to Wang Dongxing with confidence.
Shouldering heavy responsibilities, Wang Dongxing has been thoughtful for 30 years, meticulous, meticulous, conscientious, and has never had a major safety accident or major loophole.
Mao Zedong once highly praised Wang Dongxingdao:
"He has always wanted to go with me, others I don't feel at ease when I use it, Dongxing is by my side, I'm used to it..."
This is Mao Zedong's best praise and affirmation for Wang Dongxing's work.
As a result, Wang Dongxing was hailed as Mao Zedong's first bodyguard.
At the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1955, Wang Dongxing was awarded the rank of major general despite his lack of military rank.
Wang Dongxing deserved it, without any controversy.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >04, Tibetan Eagle</h1>
The second founding major general without military rank was Huang Zhengqing.
Huang Zhengqing, zicai, Tibetan, Tibetan name Lobsang Zewang, referred to as Alo.
Huang Zhengqing was born in the spring of 1903 in The village of Yingguanba Caima in Lihua County (now Litang County), Sichuan Province. Litang County (then known as).
His father's name was Huang Weizhong, the Tibetan name Gong Bude Lord.
When Huang Zhengqing was in elementary school, his father would send him to the school to learn Chinese, and the Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Names, and the Thousand Character Text were his initiation books.
In the spring of 1920, Huang Zhengqing's third brother, Huang Zhengguang (Tibetan name Danbei Gyaltsen), was selected as the fifth Gyalpo living Buddha of Gannan Labrang Monastery.
According to the regulations, the whole family must accompany them, so Huang Zhengqing and his family came to Gannan Labrang Monastery.
At that time, when the warlords were dividing the territory, Huang Zhengqing led the Tibetan compatriots to heroically resist the Majia Army and drove the brutal Majia Army out of the Gannan Grassland.
Subsequently, Huang Zhengqing served as the guerrilla commander of labrang and the commander of labrang's security.
Huang Zhengqing is known as the eagle of the Tibetan nationality, and his appeal among Tibetan compatriots is very large, and the warlords in the northwest have all given him three points of courtesy.
In the winter of 1943, Huang Zhengqing led a delegation of monks and laymen from Labrang to Chongqing.
On January 9, 1944, Huang Zhengqing donated 900,000 yuan to buy 30 aircraft to support the War of Resistance.
Huang Zhengqing's righteous deeds were praised by the people of the whole country, and Chiang Kai-shek granted him the major general of the Military Senate to participate in the meeting.
During the Liberation War, Ma Bufang, acting military and political commander of the Northwest, did his best to win Huang Zhengqing over.
But Huang Zhengqing was influenced by Xuanxia's father in his early years, and his heart longed for revolution.
In September 1949, Huang Zhengqing contacted Wang Zhen, commander and political commissar of the First Corps of the First Field Army, and Wang Enmao, political commissar of the Second Army, to lead the uprising.

Huang Zhengqing was warmly welcomed by Peng Dehuai, commander of the First Field Army, He Long, commander of the Northwest Military Region, and Xi Zhongxun, political commissar.
In January 1950, the Gansu Provincial People's Government was established, and Huang Zhengqing was appointed as a member of the Gansu Provincial Government and deputy director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture.
In March of the same year, the Northwest Military and Political Committee was established in Xi'an, and he was invited to attend the military and political conference, and served as a member, vice minister of animal husbandry, and deputy director of the Ethnic Affairs Committee.
Subsequently, Huang Zhengqing was elected deputy head of the Northwest NationalIties Tribute Group and went to Beijing to be received by Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Premier Zhou, and others. On October 1, 1953, Huang Zhengqing was the governor of Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Soon afterwards he also served as Vice-Chairman of the Northwest Administrative Council.
After that, Huang Zhengqing also served as the commander of the Gannan Military Subdistrict, the vice governor of Gansu Province, and the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Such a Tibetan eagle, although not of the rank of army, was awarded the rank of major general, and it is also indisputable.
