The end of the “Ten Grand Marshals” persecuted by the Communist Party

In the military history of the Communist Party of China, only ten men held the rank of marshal. They were Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, Lin Biao, Liu Bocheng, He Long, Chen Yi, Luo Ronghuan, Xu Qianlong, Nie Rongzhen and Ye Jianying. In September 1955, after the founding of the Communist Party of China, the communist Authorities awarded the ten men with the rank of marshal. At the ceremony that followed, Liu and Lin did not attend, publicly because they were ill, but they were both in good spirits when reporters took photos of them at their homes.

In common sense, MAO and the CCP should have trusted the ten marshals who helped them “fight the world”, or even fought alongside him. But, like Stalin’s purge of the Soviet generals, the ten marshals, with the exception of Luo Ronghyun, were mostly persecuted, some even brutally killed.

Black Commander Zhu De was condemned

In the party’s early army, the bandit Zhu De had far more prestige than MAO zedong, and was one of the leaders of the 1927 Nanchang uprising. After the uprising failed, Zhu De led the remnants to join MAO in Jinggangshan. During the Civil war, Zhu De was appointed commander in chief by MAO. After the founding of the COMMUNIST Party of China, Zhu de successively served as vice President of the State, Vice Chairman of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman of the National People’s Congress.

At the lushan meeting, Zhu de was criticized by MAO for affirming peng’s positive side. After the cultural Revolution broke out in 1966, zhu de often sat alone and said little as he watched senior officials being toppled. He too was soon brought down, with big posters calling him “great warlord, ambitious man, black Commander” plastered not only on the streets of Beijing but also in Zhongnanhai. His papers were suspended, his health doctors removed and his movements restricted, while Zhu de was ordered to commit anti-Mao crimes.

At the 12th Plenary session of the eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party, Wu Faxian, Zhang Chunqiao and others challenged Zhu De, saying that he was “always opposed to Chairman MAO” and “has ambitions and wants to wear robes.” Xie fuzhi also said that Zhu De had been against MAO from day one in Shangjinggangshan. Zhu De was on the ropes.

Later, when MAO zedong mentioned “MAO” at a conference, Zhu De was spared from being wrestled by the Red Guards, but was placed in a category of errors or historical examination.

Zhu de was criticized several times at the ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1969. In October, zhu de was evacuated to Conghua in Guangzhou because of the army’s emergency preparedness, and did not return to Beijing until August of the following year. His body deteriorated under the influence of inner distress.

After Zhou enlai’s death in January 1976, Zhu de became even weaker. On July 1, the disease deteriorated sharply. High fever does not return, in addition to pneumonia, complicated with gastroenteritis and kidney disease, and heart failure, diabetes and other diseases, even very difficult to speak. Zhu de died on The 6th.

One thing that needs to be mentioned is that in the early 1950s, there was a text in the primary school textbook called “Zhu De’s Carrying Pole”. The text basically said: in 1928, Zhu De and MAO Zedong met in Jinggangshan (after the failure of the uprising). Due to the lack of food, they had to send people to pick up food in the MAO Ping of 50 or 60 li. It was all mountain roads, so it was very difficult. But stomach is important, so, as a military commander Zhu De also with the soldiers to pick food. We saw the distressed, he hid the pole. But Zhu De again found a pole, and wrote “Zhu De’s pole” five characters, we were ashamed to hide his pole.

However, after Zhu De was overthrown, in February 1967, the same text was quietly replaced by Lin Biao’s Carrying Pole. According to the revised article, it was Lin Biao, not Zhu De, who joined MAO in Jinggangshan with the rest of his troops after the failure of the Nanchang uprising. In September 1971, after Lin Biao died in a plane crash, Lin Biao’s carrying pole was quietly changed back to Zhu De’s carrying pole. The Communist Party’s ability to fake is astonishing.

Peng Dehuai died of cancer

On December 17, 1974, a body was secretly sent to the crematorium from hospital 301. The application for cremation read: “The applicant: Wang Kui, address: 301, relationship with the deceased: father and son, the deceased’s name: Wang Chuan, male, 76 years old, seal no. : 1269.” In fact, the man named Wang Chuan is peng Dehuai, a former defense minister and marshal of the Communist Party.

In the Communist Party, Peng Dehuai personality straightforward, impulsive, can be regarded as a dare to speak, more sense of justice. Joined the Communist Party in 1928, launched the Pingjiang uprising, after the failure, retreated to the countryside, became the commander of the Red Three Corps. When the Communist Party fled north, with three thousand soldiers to save MAO Zedong from Zhang Guotao’s hostage, thus MAO relied heavily on.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Peng Dehuai advocated the Active resistance of the Chinese Communist Party, rather than keeping troops in a corner in the northwest. His “hundred Regiments-led War” was carried out in violation of MAO Zedong’s guiding ideology of only fighting the “peacock war”. This battle not only became one of the few achievements of the Anti-Japanese War that the CPC later boasted, but also became one of the crimes that Peng Dehuai was criticized for.

During the Korean War in the early 1950s, Peng Dehuai was appointed commander of the Chinese Communist Volunteer Army, bringing hundreds of thousands of troops into Korea. MAO’s eldest son, MAO Anying, joined the war as Peng Dehuai’s confidential secretary. However, just over a month after arriving in North Korea, Because MAO Anying did not comply with regulations, scrambled eggs in the bunker exposed the target, was killed by the US military aircraft. MAO was very sad, although not directly reprimanded Peng Dehuai did not protect the responsibility, but it is said that MAO more peng heart resentful.

After the Korean War, Peng was appointed vice Premier of The State Council and Minister of Defense. He was awarded the rank of Marshal in 1955, ranking second after Zhu De. In 1958, Peng Dehuai, Nie Rongzhen, Huang Kecheng and others criticized Suyu at the expanded meeting of the CMC, and Suyu was labeled as “bourgeois individualism”.

In 1959, during an expanded meeting of the Political Bureau in Lushan, Jiangxi province, Peng wrote to MAO pointing out the problems with MAO’s Great Leap Forward. He put it bluntly: “The extravagant wind, the small blast furnace and so on are only superficial phenomena; The lack of democracy, the cult of personality, is at the root of all these ills.”

This letter was strongly criticized by MAO, MAO threatened to set up the hill, forcing senior party, finally with Huang Kecheng peng dehuai, zhang wentian, xiao-zhou zhou and others will be “peng zhang zhou huang anti-party clique”, peng himself was framed as “links”, peng was designated as the first part of “anti-party clique”, not only be dismissed secretary of defense and the military commission vice chairman, but also met with criticism.

Peng dehuai left office, the Summer Palace near hang Jia Tun Wu Garden for six years, living on his own. From October 30 to December 26, 1961, he went to his hometown in Xiangtan County, Hunan province for investigation, and sent the 5 investigation materials he wrote to the central committee for reference. In the spring of 1962, peng Dehuai, based on the fact that the Great Leap Forward had led to a nationwide famine and starvation for countless people, wrote a letter to MAO again with 80,000 words, asking for truth from facts, changing course and admitting the failure of the three red flags to save the people from fire and water.

The letter not only revived MAO’s displeasure, but also his concern about the forces in the party, notably Liu Shaoqi, that were trying to overturn Peng’s conviction. MAO knew that once Peng Dehuai was successfully overturned, MAO jiangshan might be surnamed Liu.

In order not to let Peng Dehuai, who still had great influence and appeal in the army, become a stumbling block to his overthrow of Liu Shaoqi and other people, MAO, adept at expediency, adopted a soft policy towards Peng dehuai and sent him to Sichuan as the third deputy director of the “Three-line” construction Committee of the Southwest Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

While Peng dehuai was removed, MAO launched the “Cultural Revolution” aimed at bringing down Liu Shaoqi and others. In December 1966, Peng Dehuai was brought back to Beijing for criticism. In January 1967, Peng wrote to MAO about his situation, but MAO did not reply. Instead, he seemed to acquiesce to the criticism of Peng by Jiang Qing and others.

On July 19, Peng Dehuai was wrestled by red Guards. Peng Dehuai, in his late 70s, was punched, kicked and “knocked to the ground” seven times, leaving him black and blue all over.

On July 23, under the direct command of the Cultural Revolution of the Central Committee, and jiang Qing, Kang Sheng, Chen Boda, Qi Benyu and others personally attended the situation, and held the so-called 100,000 people in the South playground of Beijing Institute of Aeronautics general assembly. Peng Dehuai was not recovered from the serious injury, and he was injured again and again. His clothes were torn and broken. He wore cotton shoes on one foot and straw shoes on the other, and hung a big black card on his chest.

According to an eyewitness recall, that day Peng Dehuai was tied up in a tuotou truck, through the Tiananmen Gate in front of the Chang ‘an Avenue, a left and right two big men detained him, forced to press his head. All the other swimmers had hair, which was pulled by people to press their heads, only Peng Dehuai shaved bald, no hair to pull, and was a left and right two bushy men pulled their eyes!

On September 17, 1972, the “Special Investigation Team of Peng Dehuai of the CPC Central Committee” completed its “investigation report”, recommending that “the party should be expelled forever, sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of civil rights for life”.

Under constant beatings and torture, peng Dehuai began bleeding heavily in the late spring of 1973 and was later diagnosed with rectal cancer. His condition improved after the operation, but all the Windows in his ward were plastered to death with newspapers.

In the summer of 1974, the cancer cells on Peng Dehuai’s body spread to lung, brain, and suffered from hemiplegia, dying, but because of instructions, all medical means must be “special service”, no one gave him pain-killer injection. Before he died, he wanted one last look out the window at the sun, the blue sky and the white clouds, a last request that his supervisor refused, citing confidentiality and security. Peng Dehuai died without a family member on Nov. 29. His body was cremated under the pseudonym Wang Chuan, and the cost of cremation was deducted from his meagre “salary.” The urn was sent to Chengdu.

Lin Biao was killed in an air crash

In the marshal, Lin Biao should be regarded as the youngest one, and its young can be ranked after Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, it is entirely because he is good at war, for the Chinese Communist Party from the Hands of the Kuomintang jiangshan made a great contribution.

After the establishment of the Communist Party of China, Lin Biao gradually rose in status. After Peng Dehuai was approved at the Lushan Meeting in 1959, Lin Biao took the post of Minister of National Defense and presided over the daily work of the CMC. With a deep understanding of the “MAO sun” mentality, Lin Biao took the lead in a campaign to deify MAO in the army before the Cultural Revolution and spread it to the whole country after. Lin Biao praised MAO to the extreme, not only proposing the “four greats”, but also declaring that “Comrade MAO Zedong’s genius raised Marxism-Leninism to a new stage” and exhorting people to “read MAO’s books, listen to MAO’s words, act according to MAO’s instructions, and be MAO’s good soldiers”.

After the cultural Revolution, when liu Shaoqi and other top officials were overthrown, Lin Biao, MAO’s “close comrade and successor”, became the party’s second most powerful man.

After becoming MAO’s successor, Lin Biao began to disagree with MAO over relations with the United States and how to rebuild the Party’s institutions of power, such as whether to create the post of president. Suspicious MAO Sui suspected Lin Biao to destroy him, suspect Lin Biao want to seize power from their own hands. Especially in then launched by MAO’s “batch Chen (alberta) rectification movement, Lin biao has not completely obey MAO, refused to attend the meeting but taken passive resistance, which make hair more doubt, and thus set a trap to the plot felling, zhou also once again choose to act as MAO’s accomplice, until let Lin biao, a die imitators and participate.

On September 13, 1971, Lin Biao’s plane crashed in Mongolia. It is said that Lin biao’s plane was shot down by a missile. Whatever the reason, MAO’s removal of Lin Biao is an indisputable fact.

Then, MAO began a new round of cleaning. More than 20 senior military officers who supported Lin were arrested while fleeing to Hong Kong, 11 of the 21 politburo members were removed from their posts, and Lin was charged with a long list of crimes, including plotting to kill MAO and establishing a “far left” military dictatorship.

After the Cultural Revolution, senior Communist Party officials blamed the “Lin Biao, Jiang Qing counter-revolutionary group” for the cultural Revolution, which made no sense. On the one hand, the Cultural Revolution was initiated by MAO, and everything She did was guided by MAO’s instructions. On the other hand, during the Cultural Revolution, Lin Biao and the Gang of four never had a real cooperative relationship. Lin Biao is quite the central cultural Revolution leading group that repels Jiang Qing to be in, support Huang Yongsheng to frustrate Jiang Qing to want to get involved in the attempt of the army for many times, and Jiang Qing also hates to the bone to Lin Biao. The two are fraught with conflict.

By mixing Lin Biao with the gang of four, the COMMUNIST Party had only one goal in mind: to distort history, to shirk MAO’s guilt and to cover up the SINS of the Communist Party.

Liu Bocheng is blind

Regarded by the Chinese Communist Party as a “famous strategist”, Liu’s military career spanned more than 50 years, from the 1915 War against Yuan yuan to the 62 year war against India. He lost his right eye because of the war. He was the first of the ten marshals to be struck down.

After the founding of the COMMUNIST Party of China, Liu Was ordered to establish the communist Party’s first military academy in Nanjing. While it was building military academies, it was caught up in the “anti-dogmatism” waged by the Communist Party.

In 1958, MAO and peng Dehuai, then the defense minister, launched a critique of “military dogmatism,” directed at Liu. In May of that year, Liu, then president of the Nanjing Military Academy, was called to Beijing. Liu, who had not slept for two consecutive days, suffered a severe headache under high eye pressure and was helped onto the stage for a check-up at an expanded session of the CMC. He was forced to resign as dean of the military academy because of his “profound review” and the strong support of Deng xiaoping and Zhou Enlai.

Some analysts suggest that the reason why Liu Was overthrown in the first place was related to his poor relationship with MAO. For example, he had openly criticized MAO’s proud “guerrilla-ism”, and he had studied in the Soviet Union, where MAO hated and resented the Soviet union. MAO’s indifference towards Liu Bocheng before 1949 is easily discernable.

Knowing the history of China and the truth that birds hide their bows, Liu Gave up his military power immediately after the Communist Party took power and went to Nanjing to organize a military academy. MAO gladly acquiesced. It is regrettable that Liu Bocheng, who thought he could get away from the political vortex in this way, often talked to his students about the Soviet army’s rules and tactics in class. He only talked about the ten blows of the Soviet Army in The Second World War, instead of MAO’s guerrilla warfare. Some people whispered in MAO’s ear that “Chiang Kai-shek also got his start by running a military academy.

Just the minister of National Defense Peng Dehuai and Liu Bocheng has long been incompatible, MAO on the hand of Peng Dehuai governance liu. It is said that Liu did not attend the ceremony, also because of MAO’s dissatisfaction with him, but because of liu’s military merits and prestige, was forced to award his marshal. Liu refused to go in order to avoid embarrassment.

After being criticized, Liu developed glaucoma in his only left eye and his vision gradually diminished. In September 1959, Liu Was appointed head of the strategic Group of the CMC. His health is getting worse and worse, with frequent headaches and high intraocular pressure. In July 1964, Liu Bocheng had an eye disease attack while inspecting troops in northeast China. He was diagnosed with acute glaucoma and had to return to Beijing by special bus. He was admitted to Beijing hospital, from then on, he could only distinguish the color of clothes with his left eye.

When the Cultural Revolution broke out, the central Military Commission’s strategy team was abolished and Mr Liu lost his job. In 1972, Liu lost his sight completely and had to live in hospital for a long time. In 1973, due to drug misuse, his illness worsened and he lost his thinking ability. In 1975, he lost his self-care ability and died in 1986.

Interestingly, Liu Was not a political success and was called “old dogma”. In the late period of the Cultural Revolution, he was over 80 years old and had difficulty in speaking and walking. It is a great irony that he was elected as a member of the Politburo for the first time in the top 10 of the Communist Party of China.

He Long, who started with two kitchen knives, died tragically

He Long, the self-proclaimed “two kitchen knives started”, participated in the Nanchang uprising in 1927 and joined the Communist Party of China (CPC), and since then made great contributions to the CPC’s seizure of power. After 1949, he served as director of the State Sports Commission, vice Chairman of the Military Commission and Vice Premier of The State Council.

It can be said that he Long is loyal to MAO Zedong. For example, only He Long supported MAO’s marriage to Jiang Qing in Yan ‘an, except Kang Sheng. He Long said at that time: “A big chairman, it is not great to ask a woman, who talk about I shot him!” However, such a hero in the eyes of the Communist Party, the most loyal subordinate in the eyes of MAO, was overthrown in the Cultural Revolution launched by MAO, and finally died a tragic death.

The original before the Cultural Revolution, he Long and Liu Shaoqi, Deng Xiaoping, Peng Zhen, Luo Ruiqing relationship too close, caused The suspicion of MAO. In addition, When MAO asked him to criticize Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping at the 11th Plenary Session of the eighth CPC Central Committee, he also refused. MAO’s goal in launching the Cultural Revolution was to overthrow the “party establishment” such as Liu Shaoqi, and he Long, who was close to them, was also involved.

In addition, MAO also learned that he Long with a gun, so heart doubts. Someone once tipped off MAO that he Long had a small handgun, a delicate import. He often slept under his pillow at night and took it with him when he went out. MAO was afraid of him long when he met, but according to the memoirs of Dong Lianghui, the daughter of dong Biwu, an elder statesman of the Communist Party, the small pistol had long been corroded and could not be used.

In the summer of 1966, shortly after the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, Kang Sheng in Beijing Normal University held a mass meeting and the Central Cultural Revolution group meeting, he Long and Peng Zhen secretly mobilize the army to engage in the “February mutiny”. This deepened MAO’s doubts about He Long.

In December of the same year, the Red Guards killed he Long at home, grabbed his badge and cap, copied his papers and books, and threatened to take him to Tiananmen Square for a meeting of 100,000 people.

He Long feeling is urgent under, hide to go into zhongnanhai Zhou Enlai home to take refuge, and this made MAO’s big taboo again. One is the prime minister with real power and the other is the marshal with military power. If the two start a mutiny in collusion with each other, is there no way for MAO to survive? MAO Sui ordered Zhou Enlai to persuade He Long to leave Zhongnanhai, Zhou Enlai for their own protection, gently persuaded He Long to go to the Xishan barracks temporarily.

In January 1967, Xu Guangda, who had been a division commander of the Second Red Army under the command of He Long, was framed as the chief of staff of the general Staff of he Long’s “Mutiny in February” and died unjustified. In September, with MAO’s approval, the “He Long Task Force” was formally established, with Kang sheng as the team leader and Yang Chengwu and Ye Qun as deputy leaders. The office is located in the Military Commission, and 10 military cadres have been assigned to participate in the investigation.

On November 8, Kang Sheng and Ye Qun presided over the discussion and approved the “idea of he Long project work”, pointing out that he Long’s “defection to the enemy” in the 1930s should be regarded as the “key” and the breakthrough of the whole case, and specially arranged to mobilize the cadres of the former Red Army to expose the he Long problem. Investigators are investigating allegations of extortion, seduction and even physical violence. However, the result was that no evidence of he Long’s defection was found.

On November 22, 1967, the central committee of the communist party of China, the central cultural revolution of the central on the consultation to hold nine represents the opinions of “file points out:” (), liu shaoqi, deng xiaoping), liu tao (cast), peng (DE), and (dragon), peng (true), ROM (RuiQing), (a), lu Yang (has), wang Ming, etc is absolutely can’t stay in the central committee, can’t be nine representative. This document is sent to the Party branch of the whole army company.”

On February 5, 1968, in the central committee of the communist party of China, the State Council and the central military commission, the central cultural revolution forward the revolutionary committee of heilongjiang province on the work of digging traitors report said the memorandum “, deng, liu tao, and its affiliates, greetings, peng, peng, lu, Yang, Ann (son), xiao (China), and other traitors and counter-revolutionary revisionist molecules, hidden for a long time in the party, stole the communist party leadership authority’s important position and formed a traitor group, implement have, general organizational line…” This was the first central document to name and characterize He Long, which was circulated by MAO and sent to the whole country.

Since then, He long has been singled out as “the biggest capitalist establishment in the party” and a “counter-revolutionary revisionist”, frequently singled out and criticized in documents of the Communist Party central Committee, The State Council, the Central Military Commission, the Central Cultural Revolution and the provinces and cities. He was the fifth person to be brought down, after Liu Shaoqi, Deng Xiaoping, Tao Zhu and Peng Dehuai.

According to gu Yongzhong’s book “Marshal of the Republic: The Extraordinary Path of Helong”, published in mainland China, the couple were treated inhumanely during the censorship period. Their bedding and pillows were taken away, leaving them for some time to sleep on bare bedboards; The food is getting worse and worse, the sand in the rice is more and more; Water supplies are also limited in the summer, with more than 40 days without water. He Long, who has diabetes, can only save water and quench his thirst with rainwater.

Later, he and his wife were reassigned and placed under close surveillance. And, the meal that provides also is the clear water that does not see a bit oily flower boils cabbage, bran turnip to wait. He Long’s diabetes, also in the medical restrictions and delays. He Long became so weak that he could not even walk to the toilet.

He long finally fell ill in late March, suffering from cerebral ischemia and aphasia, and was sent to a hospital in Beijing’s Garrison district. Due to various difficulties caused by medical staff, he Lung disease has not recovered, he left the hospital.

October 13 solstice 31, under the leadership of MAO, the CPC Central Committee convened the eighth plenary session of the 12th central committee. MAO again announced at the meeting that he would not protect He Long. He Long’s fate was thus doomed, and his situation deteriorated.

At the end of December, he Long’s doctor was replaced with a male neurological nurse who had no idea how to treat his diabetes and high blood pressure. He only reduced, replaced and interrupted the use of some important drugs according to the order of the task force, so that he Long could not even guarantee the most common hypoglycemic drugs necessary for 3 tablets a day, and every time he took the medicine, he had to take under his supervision.

On January 15, 1969, the “He Long Task Force” even issued such instructions to the “doctor” : “Try to use the existing drugs, maintain the current level of the line, do not treat he Long like a ‘good man’.”

On the morning of June 8, he Long fell ill and vomited continuously for 3 times, with shortness of breath and weakness all over. However, he was not rescued until 13 hours later. Besides, he did not lose insulin, a specific medicine for diabetes, but glucose. He Long died on the 9th. That night, he Long’s body was quietly sent to Babaoshan with the alias “Wang Yu” cremation, cremation does not allow relatives to show up, after the cremation, “He Long task force” put the urn, secret in a small funeral parlor, and ordered: “not to spread out, to be absolutely confidential.

Lin Biao after the accident, MAO suffered a blow, decided to restore the heart of the elderly army. In late 1973, MAO admitted to the Military Commission that he Long had “made a mistake” in his treatment, saying, “I listened to Lin Biao’s one side of the story, so I made a mistake.” In 1974, the Central Government “rehabilitated” Helong. If the tragic death of he Long underground know, how should you feel?

Chen Yi died of cancer

Chen Yi, born in 1901, studied in France, but was eventually sent back by the French government along with more than 100 other students because he was inspired by the Comintern and took part in activities such as besieging the Embassy and marching in Lyon.

After returning to China, Chen Yi joined the Socialist Youth League through CAI Hesen. In 1923, he joined the Communist Party of China. In 1927, he took part in the Nanchang uprising of the Communist Party of China. Later, he served as division commander, political commissary and general commander in the Communist Army. During the War of Resistance, he served as deputy commander of the New Fourth Army and took part in the campaign to contain the Kuomintang anti-japanese army. During the Civil war, he served as commander of the East China Military Area Command, commander of the East China Field Army and political commissar.

He was appointed mayor of Shanghai after the joint administration of China. The Communist Party waged a brutal campaign to seize the fortunes of businessmen, known as the “Five Counter-Revolutionaries,” which led many businessmen, especially in commercially prosperous Shanghai, to commit suicide. It is said that Chen Yi, as the mayor, sits on the sofa every evening with a cup of tea to listen to the report. The usual question is: “How many paratroopers are there today?” In fact, how many businessmen and capitalists commit suicide today?

In 1954, Chen Yi became vice Premier of The State Council, vice chairman of the Revolutionary Military Commission and Vice chairman of the National Defense Commission. He served concurrently as Minister of Foreign Affairs from February 1958 and became vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the CPC in January 1966.

In the wake of the Cultural Revolution, many top Communist party figures, including Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping, were overthrown. In February 1967, Chen Yi, Ye Jianying, Tan Zhenlin and others had a sharp conflict with the “Cultural Revolution Group of the CPC Central Committee” at the central meeting held in Huairentang, Zhongnanhai. They accused Jiang Qing and others of being a country in chaos. Tan zhenlin also wrote a letter to the central Government, saying that he should not have joined the revolutionary ranks, should not have joined the Red Army, should not have gone to jinggangshan with MAO in the early 1930s.

After learning of the matter and reading Tan Zhenlin’s letter, MAO was so angry that he called a meeting of some members of the Politburo and severely criticized those who raised opinions at the Huairentang meeting, accusing them of making restoration and overturning the case. From this in the whole country “counterattack top-down restoration upstream”, a large number of leading cadres at all levels. The Politburo has since suspended its activities and been replaced by the Cultural Revolution Committee of the CPC Central Committee. The incident was dubbed “February Reflux” by the Cultural Revolution team.

After the incident, Chen reportedly wrote a letter to MAO asking for a face-to-face meeting to clarify the facts. A few days later, he waited for an answer, which began with the words “it is difficult to correct the mistakes that have always been made” and ended with eight words: “See you again.

In October 1969, Chen Yi was sent to Work in Shijiazhuang under the name of “combat readiness”. At the second Plenary session of the ninth CPC Central Committee held in Lushan that year, he was involved in the so-called “Two Chen (Chen Yi, Chen Boda) confluent event”. In 1970, Chen returned to Beijing due to illness. Lin Biao died the following year and Chen was found to have colorectal cancer. He died on January 6, 1972, in Beijing.

It can be said that Lin Biao’s “betrayal”, gave MAO a heavy blow, he deliberately persecution of generals on the account of Lin Biao, to resolve grievances. On the same day that Chen Yi died, MAO said to Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying: “‘ February against the current ‘has passed the test of time, there is no such thing. Don’t talk about’ February against the current ‘any more. Please tell Comrade Chen Yi.” Ye Jianying immediately rushed to the hospital, before Chen Yi closed his eyes told MAO New “instructions”.

However, MAO’s loosening of the “February tide” does not represent true “rehabilitation”. Chen yi was still wearing the “restoration” hat at the time of his death, so his wife, Zhang Qian, did not know the exact specifications of the memorial service. It was said that Zhang Qian had asked Zhou Enlai about it, and Zhou Enlai, who felt guilty about Chen Yi (he had participated in criticizing Chen Yi), called MAO in the hospital to ask how to make a qualitative decision. At that time, MAO said that Chen Yi was a good comrade. With this sentence, Zhou Enlai informed the military in Beijing to prepare to attend the memorial service. It is said that at that time, a lot of military leaders from all sides gathered in front of the 301 hospital.

A memorial service is scheduled for Jan. 10 at babaoshan Funeral Home. The memorial service was originally planned by Zhou Enlai, Ye Jianying to deliver a eulogy. The eulogy was read by MAO. MAO looked at it and crossed out the words “… Meritorious service…” Four words.

MAO, who was recovering from a medical condition, had not planned to attend the memorial service, but decided to do so on January 10, wearing a white nightgown and an overcoat. No wonder people jokingly called MAO “filial piety” to Chen Yi. Seeing Zhang Qian, MAO squeezed his eyes and said, “Chen Yi is a good comrade.” But no one saw MAO shed a tear.

It is clear that MAO’s attendance at Chen Yi’s memorial service was not a sincere attempt to mourn his comrades, but another political attempt to appease the old cadres who had suffered so much during the Cultural Revolution. I wonder if these old cadres have ever understood in their hearts, who is the culprit who is harming them? !

Xu Qianjin was copied three times

Xu Xiangqian, who helped the Communist Party seize power, served as vice chairman of the Central Military Commission after 1949. After the cultural Revolution broke out, Xu Qianlong was appointed as the army cultural Revolution group leader.

Faced with the chaos brought by the Cultural Revolution, in February 1967, Chen Yi, Ye Jianying, Tan Zhenlin, Xu Xiangqian, Nie Rongzhen and other members of the Central Committee met at Huairentang, Zhongnanhai. They had a sharp conflict with the “Cultural Revolution Group of the Central Committee”, and they accused Jiang Qing and others of being a country in chaos. Tan zhenlin also wrote a letter to the central Government, saying that he should not have joined the revolutionary ranks, should not have joined the Red Army, should not have gone to jinggangshan with MAO in the early 1930s.

After learning of the matter and reading Tan Zhenlin’s letter, MAO was so angry that he called a meeting of some members of the Politburo and severely criticized those who raised opinions at the Huairentang meeting, accusing them of making restoration and overturning the case. From this in the whole country “counterattack top-down restoration upstream”, a large number of leading cadres at all levels. The Politburo has since suspended its activities and been replaced by the Cultural Revolution Committee of the CPC Central Committee. The incident was dubbed “February Reflux” by the Cultural Revolution team.

On the evening of March 29, 1967, at a meeting of the Central Committee during the Cultural Revolution, it was announced that Xu Xiangqian would no longer be in charge of the whole army’s cultural Revolution and would be presided over by Xiao Hua. On the afternoon of April 7, Xu suddenly received a notice, ordering him to inspect the assembly on the afternoon of April 8. Kang Sheng group personally to the meeting each group ignition, criticize Xu Qianjin. Xu Xiangqian to make some preparations, the inspection was postponed to the 11th. He was examined in the afternoon. By night, the broadcast cars, tabloids and cartoons that criticized him were on the streets.

On April 16 and 17, “rebels” from the School of Surveying and Mapping raided Xu’s home twice. They broke down the door, searched and searched upstairs and downstairs. Books, documents and decades-old personal documents, letters and war diaries kept by Xu were taken from him. because Ye Jianying learned in advance that someone wanted to copy Xu Xiangqian’s news, in the first hour of a phone call, in the name of a meeting, please Xu Xiangqian on the West Mountain, he was not fighting.

On July 20, the July 20 incident occurred in Wuhan. Some “rebels” claimed that Xu was a “black backstage” behind the Wuhan incident. As a result, “Down with Xu Qianlong” trumpets and placards filled Beijing and the rest of the country.

On the night of July 29, dozens of kuai Dafu at Tsinghua University raided Xu’s home for the third time. They entered the courtyard, entered the bedrooms and offices, rammed through the building, and forced their way through the five leather drawers where Mr. Li himself kept the documents. Letters, photographs and other items were also taken. Slogans and slogans such as “Down with Xu Qian Xiang” were written on the walls of their residences, on the floor of the walkways, on the desk calendars and on the coffee tables.

In October 1968, the 12th Plenary Session of the eighth CPC Central Committee was held, Zhu De, Chen Yun, Ye Jianying, Xu Qian, Chen Yi and others were divided into different groups to criticize. At the ninth Congress of the Communist Party in April 1969, marshals such as Zhu De, Chen Yi, Xu Qianjin and Nie Rongzhen continued to be criticized in groups.

After the Cultural Revolution, Xu died of multiple organ failure in September 1990.

Nie Rongzhen was criticized

Nie Rongzhen, who joined the Communist Party in his early years when he studied in France, also made great contributions to the party’s seizure of power. After the sino-Chinese joint administration, he successively assumed the posts of chief of general Staff of the CMC and vice chairman of the CMC.

After the Cultural Revolution broke out, Nie Rongzhen was also criticized for the “February counter current” incident, and was criticized as the “North China mountaintop doctrine”. However, nie rongzhen did not suffer the same persecution as other marshals because MAO intended to protect him.

After the cultural Revolution, Nie Died of heart failure in 1992.

Ye Jianying was once given the cold shoulder

The name ye Jianying is familiar to many Chinese. It was he who led the arrest of the Gang of Four after MAO zedong’s death and urged Deng Xiaoping to return. Soon after the cultural Revolution, he was not as harshly criticized by senior Communist Party officials for criticizing the “Cultural Revolution Group of the CPC Central Committee” and accusing Jiang Qing and others of being a “bad February” because he had saved MAO several times in the party’s history.

However, although not criticized, Ye Jianying still received a cold reception. During the Cultural Revolution, Ye Jianying was sent to Hunan for “war preparation evacuation” and was treated with indifference and humiliation, according to the article entitled “The Past and Future of Ye Jianying’s War-ready Exile in Hunan” in the 11th issue of century Style in 2011. During this period, when the second son Ye Xuening was being lowered for reconstruction, his right arm was caught in the machine and was seriously injured, and he was not out of danger all the time.

Ye Jianying wants to know the illness of the son, but its place has only an old hand telephone, finally put through the telephone, but again because the line is not good, the noise interference is very big, cannot hear the voice at all. Ye Jianying asked the operator of the Xiangtan branch switchboard to help him find a way to reduce the interference, but he was violently scolded by the operator. Until finally, he could not speak a word with his family. Ye’s hands were shaking and there were tears in her eyes.

Ye was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1980 and died in 1986.

conclusion

For the communist party of China took all the nine of the ten generalissimo, telling us, under the Chinese communist party rule, no matter in what high, can’t protect their own safety, let alone ordinary people, but it is not an accident, because the practice of the Chinese communist party XieMoShaLv, trusted AIDS are eliminated when they finish their mission, including after the communist revolution “, “” five antis” and “anti-rightist”, “cultural revolution” are visible in every movement, such as the “hear the word of the party to lead the charge, there is no good end. This was not just MAO’s attempt to consolidate his authority, but the sinister nature of the Communist Party. In short, it is a shame to be Chinese that such a rogue regime that persecutes all Chinese exists for a day.
