After experiencing the "Juliuhe Incident", Zhang Hanqing learned the painful lesson and seriously summed up the lessons.
He and Han Linchun, Jiang Baili, Jiang Dengxuan and others had an in-depth discussion on how to effectively grasp and restrain the ideological dynamics of the army. He believed that the current expansion of the army was too fast, and the old Fengtian clique and the People's Army clique failed to integrate organically, leading to the creation of bullies and various factions. The rectification work of demobilizing troops has not yet been carried out with great fanfare; the quality of some officers and soldiers varies greatly, and the mountain king mentality is serious.
"If we don't eliminate these discordant notes within the People's Party and the People's Army, sooner or later something big will happen." Finally, a conclusion was reached: the ideological and political work of the military needs to be strengthened urgently.
indeed so. In today's world, military strategists from various countries generally believe that war is a comprehensive contest of tangible and intangible combat power.
The so-called tangible combat power consists of weapons, equipment and battlefield facilities - achieved by relying on science and technology to strengthen the military; intangible combat power consists of the thoughts and will of combatants - achieved by relying on political operations. Therefore, political operations have always had a special place in war, and their status and role are also very important.
For a long time, the People's Army has always attached great importance to political operations in accordance with Zhang Hanqing's principle of "three points military, seven points political; three points material resources, seven points spiritual". It not only regards it as a regular task in peacetime, but also lists it as a battle important elements of the plan.
For example, in the famous "Zhongwei Adaptation" plan, a special political department was formulated and its important role in the government order system was designed; when the Wuhan Military Academy was founded, political work was also regarded as an important part, gradually forming a relatively mature set of After reunifying the country, an independent General Political Department was also established, and Jiang Deng, a veteran of the People's Party, was elected as the director of the General Political Department, with the same rank as the Chief of General Staff.
Methods such as setting up the position of political and legal committee secretary in party organizations at all levels and clarifying the dual control rights of local party committees over local military and armed police are all a kind of exploration and practice of the political work system.
¡°One lesson from this mutiny is that the authority of the chief military officer is too great. How will the Political Department restrict the commander who is theoretically his superior? According to the political work system and the people's army transfer system, the transfer of the army is only valid unless it is signed by the military chief and signed by the director of the political department. The staff department issues the transfer order based on the signatures of the two people. The transfer order still needs to be filed with the political department afterwards. .
The unit receiving the military order must also have the signature of the military chief and the counter-signature of the director of the Political Department before issuing it to the troops. Otherwise, this will be a huge political mistake. Not only does the subordinate army have the right to refuse, but it can also directly charge them with treason on the spot. Pull him down; even after the incident, he will inevitably face the fate of being court-martialed.
Under this strict system, unless all the chief officers rebel at the same time, even if there is a problem in any link, the army will not be in chaos.
What should I do if the head of the Political Department refuses to countersign? Convene a party committee meeting to discuss!
In an emergency situation, taking the division level as an example, the division commander, deputy division commander, director of the division political department, division chief of staff, and division logistics director are the five statutory party committee members, who decide the final conclusion by majority vote. However, this conclusion will bear political consequences, and the necessity and rationality of this emergency conclusion will be investigated afterwards.
Carrying out political work in the military is a very good system. Until Zhang Hanqing crossed the Taiwan Straits, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party on both sides of the Taiwan Strait attached great importance to the role of the political warfare system. For example, the political and warfare system of Taiwan's military is known as the "fourth branch of the military" because of its large structure, tight organization, clear tasks, and strict systems.
However, because many old-style officers in the old Fengjun army regarded the army as private property and were afraid of losing their power, they tried their best to prevent the young marshal from intervening in changing his army, and they violated Zhang Hanqing's repeated political reorganization.
Zhang Hanqing has had firm control over the People's Army since the day it was formed, but there is nothing he can do about Zhang Zuolin's use of the veteran generals. Although Zhang Zuolin had the intention to deal with the young commander's complaints, he did not dare to provoke a mutiny at this time and affect the overall situation because of the favorable domestic and international situation for the Feng clan due to successive years of war, so he reluctantly maintained this situation that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.
"But when these officers threaten Zhang Zuolin's ruling foundation or the young marshal's life, they are trampling on the bottom line of the old marshal Zhang Zuolin and absolutely cannot be tolerated. Therefore, when Zhang Hanqing discussed old matters again on the day after the coup, Zhang Zuolin immediately issued an order without saying a word: Based on the People's Army, all Fengtian armies were to be fully reorganized; all officers who disobeyed or were treated negatively would be forcibly retired or Transfer!
With Zhang Zuolin here, many conservative generals from the old Feng clan have been resisting the work of the Political Department for many years indirectly (there are no more direct resistance, Tang Yulin ended up), which has resulted in many units having the airs of the Political Department but never having power. door. In view of this, Zhang Zuolin decided to give up the more powerful position of Chairman of the Military Commission to Zhang Hanqing.
In this way, the "friendship" with Zhang Hanqing is not very big.nbsp;The so-called "economic openness" and "reward and punishment openness" are to coordinate with various measures to improve military welfare and stabilize military morale.
In addition, political workers also launched activities to select "combat heroes", "overcoming heroes" and "political war heroes" to stimulate the fighting mood of the troops with honors and material rewards.
In order to let this army enjoy a good status in the hearts of the people and gain the support of the people, and to solve the problem of "for whom to fight?", Zhang Hanqing actively explored and asked the political departments at all levels to establish the People's Army to "serve the people and fight for the country." purpose.
He imitated the "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" and made some easy-to-understand changes, and changed it into the "Ten Major Disciplines of Loving the People" that all officers and soldiers were required to implement. The contents are: "Dig toilets when camping; avoid women when bathing; be kind to others; Compensate for damage; do not buy on credit; discuss before renting a house; sweep the door before leaving; take good care of crops and trees; do not take a needle or thread; respect national traditions."
After three years of hard work, the entire People's Army has basically reached the requirement of "joining the party not only in form, but also in thought and action" as Zhang Hanqing said.
When later generations evaluated the role of this "Program", they also sincerely believed: "It has significantly contributed to the improvement of the welfare, honor, discipline, and combat effectiveness of the army. As for the formation of the glorious tradition of 'people's soldiers' and 'military and civilian fish and water relations', This is a fact that everyone knows."
