Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Yang Chunfu is currently in an awkward position. He is the Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, but only a member of the Central Committee, making his next move rather awkward.

If he could serve as deputy secretary of the Southwest Development Committee, it would be a better place for him.

"Comrade Yang Chunfu is indeed suitable. Whether in Zhangjiakou or Beijing, he has indeed achieved great results in industrial construction and urban development."

Chen Tanqiu nodded.

Yang Chunfu was a cadre who had followed Wei Hongjun for twenty years.

He was also very familiar with the Jin-Cha-Ji cadres such as Nie Shuai, Zhou Bin, Yang Quanwu, and Deng Guo.

Therefore, there was not much opposition from the Politburo members.

In making arrangements for the secretaries of the Yunnan and Guizhou provincial parties, the Political Bureau also fully considered the specific circumstances of the southwestern provinces.

So Zhang Zhongliang, the Secretary of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee, was transferred. He also left Gansu after two terms and came to Yunnan to serve as the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. On the issue of the Secretary of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee, the Politburo decided to appoint Jia Qiyun, who came from the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, as the Secretary of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee.

The leading body of the Southwest Development Committee is:

Gao Gang serves as secretary, Xie Fuzhi and Yang Chunfu serve as deputy secretaries, and Liu Shude, Zhang Zhongliang, Jia Qiyun and Lei Jiabin serve as standing committee members.

Regardless of their backgrounds or where they belonged, their interests were tied together during the five years of the Third Five-Year Plan.

During the Third Five-Year Plan, if the work in the Southwest was done well, it would be good for them.

Will be affected.

Next, we will discuss leadership adjustments in some important provinces. The first is the arrangement for the Beijing Municipal Party Committee Secretary.

Wei Hongjun was not in a hurry to appoint one of his own as the Beijing Municipal Party Committee Secretary because Beijing was a special city, and all the major cadres in Beijing came from the North China Bureau.

At a time when major adjustments are being made in provinces across the country to break down the restrictions of various factions, Wei Hongjun does not want Beijing to become a place where no one can get in or out.

Therefore, when it comes to the adjustment of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Wei Hongjun must be chosen from among the provincial party secretaries who have been adjusted this time.

It just so happened that two local bosses were going to Beijing this time.

One is Tao Zhu, Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, and the other is Ke Qingshi, Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee.

Both of these people have extensive experience and their political achievements in the local areas are so outstanding that they were sent to Beijing.

Guangdong, needless to say, now pays the most in profits and taxes among all provinces nationwide. This is why Luo Qirong was first promoted to the central government during the Ninth National Congress, and now Tao Zhu is also expected to do so. Shanghai's development in recent years has also been remarkable. Especially since Ke Qingshi focused on Shanghai's industrial technology, a large number of technology industries have emerged in Shanghai.

Not only in the field of light industry, but also in the fields of generators, semiconductor research, and pharmaceutical industry, important technologies were born in Shanghai. Using new technologies to promote scientific research in Shanghai,

Promote Shanghai's industry.

The qualifications and ranks of both of them are qualified to serve as the Beijing Municipal Party Committee Secretary. Yang Chunfu's rank can be lower,

However, if a cadre from other factions is to serve as the Beijing Municipal Party Committee Secretary, he cannot be suppressed unless he has a certain level of rank.

"I recommend Comrade Wang Renzhong to serve as Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee.

Everyone recommends a list of candidates for Beijing Municipal Party Committee Secretary, and the final decision is made by voting.

Marshal Nie then proposed another candidate. Wang Renzhong was a very young provincial Party Secretary, only 45 years old, but he had already served as Hubei's Party Secretary for ten years. Therefore, Wang Renzhong also needed a change of heart.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Renzhong mainly participated in the revolution in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region and the Hebei-South Military Region. After the establishment of the North China Bureau, he became a cadre of the North China Bureau.

After the establishment of the North China Bureau, Wang Renzhong, then only 29 years old, was appointed Secretary of the Ji'nan District Party Committee and Director of the Public Office, giving him full responsibility for local Party and government affairs in Ji'nan. Although their interactions were limited, Marshal Nie had a great admiration for the young Wang Renzhong.

When Li Xiannian was the Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, he asked the central government for a cadre. The central government sent Wang Renzhong, but Li Xiannian was unwilling to accept the offer. A young man, then 31, was to serve as Vice Governor of Hubei. Marshal Nie and Bo Shuchun had to make sure Li Xiannian was given the green light.

Later, Wang Renzhong's outstanding performance impressed Li Xiannian. When Chairman Mao first went south for inspection, he met Wang Renzhong in Wuhan and quickly fell in love with the young Wang Renzhong.

"I also think Comrade Wang Renzhong is suitable."

Li Xiannian spoke out in support.

Wang Renzhong was a cadre from Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces, and he was supported by the North China Bureau. He served as the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee.

Acceptable in all aspects.

Because it was the first meeting of the new Politburo, the Chairman also attended. Wei Hongjun thought that the Chairman liked Wang Renzhong very much and would say something. But the Chairman remained silent on this matter. Or perhaps the Chairman was now mainly thinking about ideological and theoretical issues, rather than these "trivial"

personnel issues.

Everyone voted quickly, and the majority supported Wang Renzhong. "Then it is confirmed that Comrade Wang Renzhong will be the Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee."

As for the two big bosses, Tao Zhu and Ke Qingshi, they both have places to go.

When the third National People's Congress is held, General Chen, General He and General Luo will no longer serve as Vice Premiers of the State Council.

According to the spirit of the Tenth National Congress's personnel arrangements, by then only Defense Minister Ye Shuai would be appointed Vice Premier of the State Council.

In this way, Tao Zhu and Ke Qingshi's target for this trip to Beijing was the Vice Premier of the State Council.

Comrade Yang Shangkun, former Director of the General Office of the Central Committee, serves as Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, Comrade Tao Ruga, former Secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee, serves as Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Chen Tao, former Governor of Guangdong Province, serves as Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Wei Heng, former Secretary of the Shanxi Secretariat and Governor of Shanxi Province, serves as Secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee, and Comrade Wang Feng, former Deputy Secretary of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee, serves as Secretary of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee.

The first meeting of the 10th Politburo essentially completed adjustments to key provinces nationwide. However, this was not entirely complete, and further cadre adjustments would require the Secretariat and the Organization Department to come up with a new plan before the Secretariat convened another meeting.

1135 Army Adjustment

After the Politburo meeting, Wei Hongjun quickly convened a meeting of the Military Commission. This was because after the 10th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there were many cadres who needed to be restructured, not only in the Party and government, but also in the military.

First of all, it’s Yang Quanwu’s side.

After Yang Quanwu became a member of the Political Bureau, served as Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, and Secretary of the Science Working Committee,

It is impossible for him to continue to serve as the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. It should be said that after Wei Hongjun is no longer the secretary of the Science Working Committee, the entire Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will have to undergo cadre adjustments.

Zhao Lu is a senior general, a member of the Central Military Commission, and the first deputy director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. Therefore, after Yang Quanwu was no longer the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, he was undoubtedly appointed director of the Commission, while General Zhang Aiping and General Han Wei were appointed deputy directors of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

Among them, Zhang Aiping is appointed as the director of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, Han Wei is appointed as the director of the National Defense Industry Commission, Wang Bingzhang, former director of the Missile Research Institute, is appointed as the deputy director of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, and Wan Yi is appointed as the deputy director of the National Defense Industry Commission.

This time, Yang Quanwu is responsible for the defense industry.

Not only those cutting-edge defense industries, scientific research institutions and military schools involved in military weapons and equipment, but also large and small military factories are under the leadership of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

After adjusting the cadres of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the CMC adjusted its internal institutions. Currently, the CMC has six headquarters, namely the General Staff Headquarters, the General Cadre Department, the General Political Department, the General Armament Department, the General Logistics Department,

The General Finance Department. The formation of the Eight General Headquarters of the Military Commission began, partly due to the advice of Soviet military advisors and partly because too many high-ranking military officials had been promoted to central leadership positions. The People's Liberation Army had fought for over twenty years and possessed a vast number of senior and accomplished generals. What to do with so many military cadres after liberation was a major headache for the Central Committee and the Military Commission. They were all heroes of the Republic, and ensuring stability required their appointments.

It just so happens that the establishment of the Eight Headquarters can accommodate many people. When the Military Commission's Eight Headquarters later awarded titles, there were three marshals, 10 generals, 18 lieutenant generals, more than 50 lieutenant generals, and a bunch of major generals and colonels. If the Eight Headquarters had not been established, there would be no place to accommodate so many military cadres. However, more than ten years later, many military leaders transferred to local areas, and many retired.

Or resign and cultivate oneself.

The CMC is also becoming increasingly familiar with military modernization. It no longer needs so many CMC departments. Therefore, this time the CMC is making drastic cuts to its departments. The CMC has chosen to abolish the General Cadre Department, along with the previously abolished Armed Forces Supervision Department. Cadre work and political supervision will be transferred to the General Political Department. The Youth Department and the Organization Department will be merged into the new General Political Department Organization Department, and the Culture Department and the Propaganda Department will be merged into the new General Political Department Propaganda Department, forming a brand new General Political Department of the CMC.

As the department responsible for the political work of the army, the General Political Department has a very high status. Now that the General Cadre Department and the political supervision work have been merged into the General Political Department, its status is even higher and its efforts are even greater.

He was very cautious in his cadre arrangements.

After the reorganization, the General Political Department's subordinate organs were reduced to 11 departments: the Organization Department, the Cadre Department, the Propaganda Department, the Security Department, the Liaison Department, the Mass Work Department, the National Defense Science Department, the Direct Work Department, the Military Procuratorate, the Military Court, and the Secretary-General's Office. With Tan Zheng's appointment as Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, the position of Head of the General Political Department was no longer in doubt. Wang Zhi, formerly Head of the General Cadre Department, was appointed Director of the newly established General Political Department.

It can be said that Wang Zhi's appointment as Director of the General Political Department was a popular choice.

During the Red Army period, Wang Zhi was a cadre of the Red Third Army.

During the Fifth Anti-encirclement and Suppression Campaign and the Long March, Wang Zhi served as the political commissar of the 11th Red Army Regiment, which dared to fight tough battles and

Dangerous and tough battles, good at long-distance raids and continuous combat.

Therefore, General Peng commented that the reason why the Red 11th Regiment was so capable of fighting was that it was the highest embodiment of the Red Army's political and ideological consciousness and the result of the high level of political work. At that time, General Peng had a very high opinion of the political commissar Wang Zhi.

Since the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Zhi has been in Jin-Cha-Ji.

Together with Luo Qirong, Zhao Lu, Li Zhimin, Liu Daosheng, Han Weiguo, and Xia Houwen, they became the representative cadres in the political work field of Jin-Cha-Ji. After liberation, Wang Zhi was highly regarded by Marshal Luo.

As the first deputy director of the General Political Department, he worked with Luo Shuai to complete the awarding of titles. After Luo Shuai was no longer the director of the General Political Department, he naturally became the director of the General Political Department. Now the Military Commission is Wei Hongjun as the executive vice chairman, and General Peng

He Laozong, Tan Zheng, and Yang Quanwu handled the daily work. Therefore, there was no opposition to Wang Zhi's appointment as Director of the General Political Department.

Besides, Wang Zhi is a general. After the merger of the General Political Department and the General Political Department, he has the highest military rank among the cadres of the General Political Department.

Except for those who were transferred out as deputy directors of the former General Political Department and the former General Political Department, all other people were appointed as deputy directors of the new General Political Department. They were Fu Zhong, Xiao Hua, Li Zhimin, Liu Daosheng, Liang Biye, and Chen Yi.

Fu Zhong was appointed First Deputy Director of the General Political Department, Xiao Hua was appointed Second Deputy Director, Li Zhimin was appointed Third Deputy Director, and Liu Daosheng was appointed Fourth Deputy Director. At this point, the Politburo and CMC meetings were relatively stable, or perhaps less contentious.

Because the arrangements for the above-mentioned cadres will have some minor adjustments, but everyone is still mentally prepared for their general destinations. Some arrangements may result in different results.

But it won't be too problematic.

Moreover, although many cadres above the rank of general have their own factions, many of them have connections with various factions.

Take Yang Dezhi, for example. He commanded the 115st Regiment, st Division, st Corps, First Front Red Army. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, he served in the th Division, then was incorporated into the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region after the establishment of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region. At the end of the war, he served under General He to defend Yan'an. After the war, he joined the Fourth Field Army and became its Corps Commander. During the Korean War, he served as Deputy Commander. After the armistice, he remained in Korea as Commander of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. He currently commands the Northeast Military Region.

Therefore, Yang Dezhi was the type of person who could have a say in everything and was always praised by his superiors no matter where he went. Therefore, as long as Yang Dezhi's appointments were not too outrageous, no one would object.

This is the case with many generals and admirals. As for the general arrangements, everyone will have a certain tacit understanding.

But the situation is different further down.

Many lieutenant generals and major generals have been in the same place since the Anti-Japanese War, and their factions are very obvious. They were not high-ranking during the Red Army period, so their experiences during the Red Army period cannot be attributed to any faction. There are even a large number of major generals and colonels who participated in the revolution during the Anti-Japanese War.

The traces of faction are even more obvious.

Take, for example, Zhang Shan, who, fresh out of the Higher Military Academy in 1960, became commander of the 78th Army of the Fuzhou Military Region. He had been in the Jin-Cha-Ji system since his revolutionary days, or more bluntly, the Eighth Column, never leaving it. His stigma of leadership was indelible. Consequently, the cadre placements at the lower levels were even more contentious, and the infighting became even more blatant.

The deputy director of the new Military Commission's General Political Department will not easily let go of the ministerial positions below. Except for Fu Zhong, the first deputy director, if the other deputy directors do not concurrently hold the ministerial positions below, they will be just deputy directors.

The specific tasks assigned to it often depend on the internal division of labor within the General Political Department.

Liu Daosheng was transferred from the political commissar of a major military region.

During the Red Army period, he served as deputy director of the corps political department, political commissar of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Sub-district during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, political commissar of the corps during the War of Liberation, and later served as director of the political department, deputy political commissar, and political commissar of the Lanzhou Military Region of the First Field Army.

During the Red Army period, he worked under General Peng and General He, and fought alongside Yang Quanwu in the Jin-Cha-Ji Campaign. Therefore, although he could not replace Fu Zhong and others in the General Political Department, he still served as the head of the General Political Department's Organization Department.

The General Political Department's Cadre Department was a contracted-down division of the former General Cadre Department, so it certainly wouldn't be handed over to anyone else. Wang Zhixin was appointed Director of the General Political Department, and Li Zhimin, the former President of the Military Court, who, like him, came from the Third Red Army and had fought alongside him in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Revolution, was recommended as Head of the Cadre Department.

Chen Yi, who was the former president of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Newspaper Agency and later worked as a propaganda officer under Luo Shuai and Tan Zheng for many years,

After the liberation, he had been working with Marshal Luo and Tan Zheng in the Military Commission to do propaganda work, and was a general under Tan Zheng. This time, he officially served as the deputy director of the General Political Department and also served as the director of the Propaganda Department of the General Political Department.

The competition for the position of Director of the Security Department of the General Political Department is quite fierce.

Everyone argued furiously, each trying to recommend their own candidate. Yang Quanwu recommended Shi Jinqian, formerly Deputy Director of the General Political Department's Security Department, for the position of Director of the Security Department. Before the Anti-Japanese War, Shi Jinqian had worked in cultural affairs for peripheral CCP organizations. Although only a teenager at the time, he had already gained considerable fame. His boss at the time was Hu Qiaomu, who would later become Chairman Mao's secretary.

But he and Hu Qiaomu later took completely different paths. After the July 7 Incident, Shi Jinqian formed a guerrilla force around Peking. Initially, it consisted of only a few dozen people, but he captured the Peking prison and released over 600 political prisoners, which greatly expanded the force.

Later, this unit was incorporated into Yang Quanwu's First Military Division. Shi Jinqian later annihilated more than 90 Japanese soldiers in Laiyuan County and captured five people, one of whom later became the head of the Anti-War Alliance.

Because Shi Jinqian was educated and capable of fighting, he served as the deputy political commissar and political commissar of the 65th Army in North Korea and was awarded the rank of major general. After returning to China, he joined the General Political Department as deputy director of the Security Department. When Yang Quanwu was in charge of the nuclear industry, Shi Jinqian was mainly responsible for the military's security.

This time, Yang Quanwu recommended Shi Jinqian for the position of Chief of the General Political Department's Security Department. Yang Quanwu didn't care about factional connections; he simply believed Shi Jinqian was suitable for the position. Furthermore, Shi Jinqian had served as Deputy Chief of the Security Department within the General Political Department for eight years and had made significant contributions to the development of China's cutting-edge defense industry.

Wang Zhi, the newly appointed Director of the General Political Department, of course also supports Shi Jinqian, because Shi Jinqian is not only an old subordinate of Yang Quanwu, but also an old subordinate of Wang Zhi.
