Chapter 20 Love of Ten Marshals-7

Luo Shuai didn't have many anecdotes and anecdotes, died of illness early, and left few memories. In addition, the nature of his work was not popular enough, and there was no personal "best friend" to promote him, so the general public had little impression of him.If it weren't for Mao Zedong's "Seven Laws Diao Luo Ronghuan", I am afraid that only professionals would know his life. Rong Shuai was born in 1902. Lin Biao is the only one younger than him among the top ten marshals.His name is taken from "Huan Huan Yu Zheng". At the age of 17, in his hometown of Hengshan, Hunan, his parents decided to marry Yan Yue'e, a wife who was two years older than him.This name is very beautiful, if it is called Zhang Yue'e and Li Yue'e, it will be vulgar, and the name is Yue'e but the surname is Yan, how elegant it is. In 1926, they had a daughter.But Luo Ronghuan left home to study and devoted himself to the revolution. In order not to hurt his wife and children, he wrote a divorce letter in 1927, persuading Yue'e to remarry.But Yue'e didn't listen, (the book implies: Yue'e thought to herself, what if my man succeeds in rebelling, meets the right man, and becomes a marshal in the future?) She is still the daughter-in-law of Luo's family, with her good needlework, Raised her daughter Luo Yuying.

Luo Ronghuan (1902-1963) successively studied at Qingdao University and Wuchang Sun Yat-Sen University, both in civil engineering, but he interrupted his studies for the revolutionary cause. In 1927, in Mao Zedong's famous "Three Bay Adaptation" in Jinggangshan, Luo Ronghuan was appointed as the representative of the spy company, and has since become Mao Zedong's most trusted cadre.It is said that Rong Shuai's marksmanship is relatively poor, similar to that of Mao Zedong - it is estimated that the distance between the two is 50 meters, and no one will be injured if they shoot at each other for three minutes.But in the military, Luo Shuai is still very strategic.For example, Mao Zedong's famous tactic was "the enemy advances and we retreat", but Luo Ronghuan later boldly proposed a "enemy advances and we advance" in Shandong, which became a typical tactic of anti-mopping up.Mao Zedong once said publicly that the two people he trusted most were Luo Ronghuan and Deng Xiaoping.According to Wang Li's recollection, Mao Zedong said: "Whenever I was unlucky, Luo Ronghuan was unlucky with me, and Deng Xiaoping was similar." Who do you think is a good person.

On May 16, 1937, 35-year-old Luo Ronghuan, director of the Political Department of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, married Lin Yueqin, a 23-year-old female Red Army cadre, in Yan'an.Before getting married, Luo Ronghuan asked Mao Zedong for his opinion. Mao said: "Okay! If you don't have a family, you are not a complete revolutionary. You two get married. I must drink this glass of wedding wine." On the day of their wedding, they cooked a big pot of noodles, put radishes, cabbage and some chicken nuggets in it (Old Kong wrote about food again), and seduced comrades to come to congratulate them by smelling the fragrance. Tan Zheng and Zhang Aiping all went.The war years were dangerous and difficult. Unfortunately, their eldest son Luo Beitun and eldest daughter Luo Lin died young.But the two were unyielding, and then they gave birth to Luo Dongjin, Luo Nanxia, ​​Luo Beijie and Luo Ning. Listen to this string of names, how bold they are!The years when millions of troops fought in all directions seem to be vividly remembered.

At the age of 18, she served as the director of the Children's Bureau of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui border area.His father was also an old party member, but he was killed during Zhang Guotao's expansion of the suppression of counter-revolutionaries.During the Long March, Lin Yueqin served as the battalion commander of the Women's Engineer Battalion. She walked through snow-capped mountains and grasslands three times, and actually traveled "35,000 miles".She once had an extremely short marriage. Her ex-husband was a cadre of the Fourth Front Army. The two married for more than a month. Lin Yueqin went to the Central Party School, and her ex-husband joined the West Route Army.After the defeat of the West Route Army, it is said that they died in the battle, and someone else introduced Lin Yueqin to Luo Ronghuan.Unexpectedly, her ex-husband was arrested by the Kuomintang and imprisoned. He was tortured and unyielding, and was rescued by the CCP and returned to Yan'an.Lin Yueqin was almost stunned when she heard the news, which alarmed Mao Zedong.Mao Zedong specially asked Lin Yueqin to have a talk, saying that everything is up to you, "Your opinion is mine." Lin Yueqin went to see her ex-husband and broke up amicably. Luo Ronghuan also went to meet and shook hands. A comrade wished the two of them "love, love, and happiness forever."After all, they are veteran revolutionaries who have experienced many battles, with a broad mind and a high level.From a rational point of view, this can only be blamed for China's suffering and the cruelty of the war, which require revolutionaries to pay a price beyond imagination.But let's not talk about rationality, it still sounds too sad for those of us who grew up in peaceful times to sound.

When the People's Liberation Army was awarded the title for the first time in 1955, Lin Yueqin was the only female senior colonel in the entire army (Ye Qun was only a colonel).He works well outside the home and has a bunch of children at home, while managing the life of a large family of more than a dozen people. He is well-known for his ability, virtuousness, and kindness. When she died in 2003 at the age of 89, her position was at the rank of deputy corps. (with photo): Luo Ronghuan's 60th birthday and Lin Yueqin Luo Shuai is the "political marshal" among the top ten marshals, representing the status of political and industrial leaders in the army.He has the lowest qualifications and the highest education.His righteousness and strict self-discipline have been well continued in his children. In 2006, Luo Dongjin launched the "Re-walking the Long March" campaign, which had a great impact.But he didn't know his own birthday for decades, because he was fostered in common people's homes when he was born, and his parents didn't remember, so he had to celebrate his birthday with his little sister Luo Ning every year.It wasn't until he was in his 40s that Liang Biye, former political commissar of the 38th Army and deputy director of the General Political Department, accidentally checked his diary and discovered that his birthday was February 14, 1939.Mao Zedong's evaluation of people is often the same as the sky, but Luo Ronghuan said a long sentence solemnly and clearly: "Luo Ronghuan's character can be summed up in ten sentences: selfless, not arbitrary, Grasping big things, daring to employ people, being able to bring them up, being able to see through them, being able to figure them out, being able to finish them, being able to let them go and let them go. I have been with me for so many years, and I am a Luo Ronghuan and a Deng Xiaoping.”

Indeed, people know more about Luo Ronghuan as an outstanding political commissar, but few know his great ability alone.During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Shandong was the only province where the CCP fully controlled strategic points. This was all due to Luo Ronghuan, the commander and political commissar of the Shandong Military Region, who had both theoretical heights and courage in handling affairs.The rectification movement in Shandong, under the leadership of Luo Ronghuan, only rectified but not punished people, and protected all cadres. Even "liberalizers" like Wang Ruowang only conducted criticism and inspection.Luo Ronghuan said sharply: "Our cadres, the enemy has already reviewed them for us." Such a profound rhetoric can only be uttered by Mao Zedong, Lin Biao, Deng Xiaoping and others.Mao Zedong sighed: "The main force of the four fields, half of the three fields, part of the second field, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the first field were all mobilized from Shandong." Later generations only saw Lin Biao leading an army of one million into the customs and sweeping across the country. , but where did the team of Lin Biao's million-strong army come from?It is from Shandong.Read the novels of Jun Qing and Mo Yan, and you will also know how cruel the war in Shandong is.In such a cruel war environment, one hundred thousand cadres like Jianbo Yang Zirong were drawn out to open up the Northeast, and only then did they have a strong base of fertile fields, thousands of miles of grain, mountains and seas of coal, and hundreds of thousands of tall and burly boys from the Northeast joined the army. It was only after the three major battles and the crossing of the Yangtze River that there were Shandong cadres all over the land of Kyushu.Of course, this is first of all Mao Zedong's great talent and strategy, but Luo Ronghuan's entrepreneurial achievements are also crucial.

After Lin Biao failed in the late festival, many people took it for granted that Luo Shuai was a pioneer against Lin Biao. In fact, Lin Luo's relationship is very strong, and the degree of heart-to-heart confiding between the two may not be inferior to that of "Liu Deng".After Luo Ronghuan's death, Lin Biao was very sad, and wrote an inscription: "Good teacher and helpful friend". Later, others said that Mr. Lin, you have such a high status now, and this way of writing is inappropriate, so he changed it.Lin Biao was someone who dared to contradict even Mao, and he could only listen to Luo Ronghuan's criticism.Some half-hearted scholars read Mao Zedong's poems hanging on Luo Ronghuan, and thought that "every time you hear about bullying a big bird, the chicken laughs like an eagle."Luo Ronghuan has only cooperated with Lin Biao for a few years in his life, and they have cooperated very well. This metaphor is used for Lin Luo, and "every smell" and "long smile" are not compatible.In fact, Luo Ronghuan cooperates and works more with other people, and there are also many conflicts and struggles.In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Ming was publicized everywhere, thinking that Wang Ming, the master of the Sea Turtle School, was greater than Mao Zedong, the handyman in the library of Peking University, and even shouted "Long live Wang Ming". Mao's "iron fans" resisted all opinions and firmly supported Mao Zedong as the core leader.Luo Ronghuan's work in Shandong and after the founding of the People's Republic of China was not smooth sailing. There were many people who bullied and laughed at Luo Ronghuan. Why should everyone push the wall down and stare at Lin Biao?Even if Mao Zedong felt that Lin Biao was inferior to Luo Ronghuan in some respects, he wouldn't be belittled to the point of "rebuking" and "Kunji", right?So, who are the grass chickens and eagles in the poem referring to?

Before the accident, Gao Gang praised Luo Ronghuan as a "saint in the party".Rong Shuai was selfless in his heart, so he dared to do something other than the instructions of Mao Zedong and the Central Committee, such as not carrying out the harsh "rescue campaign" like Kang Sheng, not participating in the spectacular "Hundred Regiments War" like Peng Dehuai, and openly opposing Lin Biao "Learning Selected Works of Mao with Questions" is a classic.It's a pity that Rong Shuai devoted himself to exhaustion and exhausted his body. He has been fighting with illness since 1942. In 1946, he had a kidney removed. On December 16, 1963, Luo Shuai passed away.That night, the news was sent to Zhongnanhai Yi Nian Hall. Lao Mao was listening to Nie Rongzhen's report on the ten-year science and technology plan. He asked everyone to stand and observe in silence.After the silence, Mao Zedong said: "Comrade Luo Ronghuan was born in 1902. This comrade has one advantage. He is very principled. He is ruthless to the enemy and has opinions on comrades. He speaks less behind his back and speaks more in person. He does not discuss people behind his back. He has always been the same throughout his life." It is not easy for a person to be like a day for decades. He is principled, loyal to the party, and has played a great role in the unity of the party.” That night, Mao Zedong took sleeping pills, but he still couldn’t sleep for a long time, and wrote in trembling hands. He wrote: "Unfortunately, you have passed away today, who can I ask for questions about the state?" This statement reveals that Mao Zedong's reliance on Luo Ronghuan seems to have clearly exceeded Luo Ronghuan's position.Kang Sheng's knowledge, Zhou Enlai's ability, and Zhu De's character, when they died, Mao Zedong did not suffer so deeply.In addition, the relationship between Mao Zedong and Luo Ronghuan is so strong, but there is no photo of the two of them. It can be seen that Luo Shuai must have an unknown and important position on Mao Zedong's "interpersonal coordinate map" in his heart.
