Author: Forget about the jianghu
In 1955, the Red 25Th Army, which had more than 2,900 people, produced 97 founding generals.
Such a high rate cannot but be said to be a miracle, but of the 14 chiefs of the Red 25th Army, only Xu Haidong was awarded the rank of general, and the rest did not participate in the appraisal, and the chairman specially approved one of them: "The three comrades have worked hard and made great achievements, and should be designated as the third level of administration and enjoy the treatment of vice premier." "
Who is the "third rank" mentioned by the chairman, where is his special contribution, and can he enjoy the administrative third-level treatment (that is, "vice-state level") that only marshals have?

In October 1931, the Red 25th Army was established in Jinzhai, with the commander Kuang Jixun and the political commissar Wang Pingzhang.
Kuang Jixun, a native of Sinan, Guizhou, was killed in Tongjiang in 1933. Wang Pingzhang, a native of Hanchuan, Hubei, died in 1933. The Red 25th Army administers the Red 73rd Division and the Red 75th Division.
Liu Ying, commander of the Red 73rd Division, a native of Weifang, Shandong, was arrested and killed in Wuhan in November 1932. Political commissar Wu Huanxian, a native of Xinxian County, Henan, was killed in 1935 during the Battle of Jingchuan in Gansu. Liao Rongkun, commander of the Red 75th Division, and Dai Kemin, political commissar, were all killed by mistake.
Wang Mingguo, commander of the Red 74th Division, a native of Hong'an, Hubei, was mistakenly killed in the autumn of 1933 in northeastern Hubei. Political commissar Dai Jiying, a native of Hong'an, Hubei Province, and later chief of staff of the Red 25th Army, went to Henan to work after liberation, because he wanted an official from the organization, and was swept to the end by the chairman.
Zheng Weisan, director of the Political Department of the Red 25th Army, served as the political commissar of the 4 detachments of the New Fourth Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Later, due to poor health, he was transferred to the rear.
Zhou Xiyuan, the commander of the Successor Red 75th Division, was shaken to surrender and was stabbed to death by the commander Zhou Shizhong, who was the founding major general. After the Long March of the Red 25th Army, Gao Jingting, the political commissar of the Red 75th Division, who remained behind, rebuilt the Red 28th Army and was mistakenly killed in June 1939.
Cheng Zihua, the commander of the army during the Long March, was the acting commander of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the commander of the 13th Corps at the time of liberation. Only the deputy commander Xu Haidong was awarded the rank of general.

The "bit three" mentioned by the chairman is no one else, but Zheng Weisan, who has long insisted on the struggle behind enemy lines.
Zheng Weisan was born in 1902 in Huang'an (now Hong'an), Hubei Province. In 1918, Zheng Zhihuai was admitted to Hubei Jiazhong Industrial School with the third place result and changed his name to "Rank Three". Under the influence of Yun Daiying and Xiao Chunu, he came into contact with progressive ideas.
In 1925, Zheng Weisan joined the organization under the introduction of Dai Kemin. In November 1927, the Jute Uprising broke out and was reorganized into the Red 7th Army. Soon, Zheng Weisan came to the Guangshan base area and vigorously developed armed forces with Cao Xuekai and others, and the base area was gradually expanded.
In the autumn of 1930, the enemy gathered heavy troops to "encircle and suppress." In October 1932, after the defeat of the fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, the main force of the Red Fourth shifted to Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Zheng Weisan remained behind to persist in the struggle. At the end of 1933, Tang Enbo's 89th Division encircled and suppressed Tiantai Mountain and Laojun Mountain, Zheng Weihan,the third father of Zheng Weihan, fell ill and died, his mother was poisoned by eating wild vegetables, and his wife Cao Mengyun froze to death in a cave.
Zheng Weisan was not discouraged, and he reduced the Red Army into a "plainclothes team" and played "hide and seek" with the enemy. Later, the plainclothes team became the armed engineering team and began to use the barrel of a gun to fight back against the murderous enemy with an eye for an eye and a for tat.
In August 1934, Cheng Zihua, a commissioner of the Soviet District, came to Kafang Town, Luoshan County, to bring wu Huanxian, Xu Haidong, Zheng Weisan and others news of the strategic transfer of the Red Army, and asked the Red 25th Army to transfer. On November 16, 2,900 men of the Red 25th Army set out on a long march from He Jiachong.
At the age of 32, Zheng Weisan was honored as "Elder", and the Red 25th Army established the Eyu-Shaanxi base area during the Long March.
In July 1935, the Red 25th Army marched from the north and south of Shaanxi, and Zheng Weisan was ordered to lead more than 700 people of the Red 74th Division with Chen Xianrui, which grew to more than 2,000 people a year later. Zheng Weisan and Chen Xianrui "made a big fuss over Mount Hua" and pinned down tens of thousands of enemy troops to respond to the Red Army in northern Shaanxi.
In January 1937, Zheng Weisan, Xu Haidong, Chen Xianrui, Cheng Zihua and others were in northern Shaanxi

After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zheng Weisan was entrusted by the chairman with a heavy responsibility to participate in the negotiations on the reorganization of the Eyu-Anhui guerrillas.
On September 7, 1937, Zheng Weisan, Xu Haidong, Guo Shushen, and Wang Hongkun jointly sent a contact letter to Gao Jingting from Yan'an, and then the chairman sent Zheng Weisan and Xiao Wangdong to Gao Jingting in Eyuwan. In late September, we arrived at Dabie Mountain.
Zheng Weisan found a letter of appointment issued by Wei Lihuang and asked Gao Jingting to return it, causing displeasure. Zheng Weisan also pointed out his mistake in killing Red Army cadres, which made Gao Jingting even more dissatisfied. In January 1938, More than 3,100 people in Gao Jingting were reorganized into 4 detachments, including Chief of Staff Lin Weixian and Director of the Political Department Xiao Wangdong. Zheng Weisan, who was originally scheduled to be deputy commander (internally political commissar), was transferred to the post of secretary of the Eyu-Anhui Special Committee.
Gao Jingting did not look at Zheng Weisan, and xiao Wangdong, who came with him, was also crowded out in many ways, and was soon transferred to the Peng Xuefeng detachment.
In February 1938, Gao Jingting "named" Dai Jiying from Yan'an to Qiliping, and the two had a dispute over the "eastward march". In May, Gao Jingting refused to carry out the orders of the military department. In June, Gao Jingting was executed by order of Ye Ting and Deng Zihui. After Cheng Qiwen informed Zheng Weisan, Zheng Weisan was very sad and repeatedly reiterated that Gao Jingting should not be killed. If Zheng Weisan, who is very principled, stays as the political commissar of the 4 detachments, the tragedy of Gao Jingting may be avoided.
After Gao Jingting was wrongly killed, the chairman called Ye Ting and Deng Zihui and made harsh criticisms.

The three armies could not be without a commander for a day, and the four detachments were divided into two detachments: the commander of the 4 detachments, mainly the 7th regiment and the 9th regiment, xu Haidong, who took the initiative to ask for help, and Luo Binghui, the commander of the 5 detachments with the 8th regiment as the main expansion, was Luo Binghui.
In February 1940, Zheng Wei served as the political commissar of the four detachments and partnered With Xu Haidong. After the Anhui Incident, Zheng Wei served as the political commissar of the 2nd Division of the New Fourth Army and partnered with another founding general, Zhang Yunyi.
In 1942, Zheng Weisan married Pu Yun, and before marriage, he told his wife "three chapters of the law", which Pu Yun gladly accepted.
In the autumn of 1943, Zheng Weisan was transferred to the political commissar of the 5th Division of the New Fourth Army. In June 1946, 50,000 people of the Central Plains Military Region were besieged by 300,000 enemies. The chairman took into account Zheng Weisan's poor health and wanted to take him back to Yan'an. However, Zheng Weisan refused on the grounds that the retreating army was unstable before the war, and participated in the organization and command of the Central Plains breakthrough.
Zheng Weisan took the guerrilla road taken by the Red 25th Army 12 years ago, and this revisit was even more tragic than the last time. The 15,000 people on the right side of the road took advantage of the night to cross the Pinghan Line and directly enter southern Shaanxi. In early August, he met with the guerrillas of Liu Jinxuan and Chen Xianrui.

In June 1947, Liu Deng's army crossed the Yellow River and turned into a counter-offensive.
On December 14, Commander Chen Yi of Huaye expressed his joy in "The Situation of the Yin Counter-Offensive".
At this time, Zheng Weisan struggled with the enemy in a long-term and difficult environment, and his health deteriorated. Since 1948, the "elderly" who are all sick, like "Xu Tiger" Xu Haidong, began to recuperate for a long time.
In May 1949, after the liberation of Wuhan, Zheng Weisan returned to Jiangcheng, where he had been away for 22 years, engaged in education and united front work, and the bookstore became his best friend, and the books in the family were piled up in two rooms. Later, Zheng Weisan entered Beijing with a monthly allowance of 300 yuan.
In September 1955, the generals who fought on the battlefield were all awarded military ranks, and Zheng Weisan did not participate in the appraisal.
However, the chairman did not forget Zheng Weisan, who had been away from the army for many years, so he had the treatment of "special approval" of the administrative third level. The administrative third level is equivalent to the treatment of vice premier, and among the ten marshals, nine marshals are administrative third level, and only Zhu Lao is always the administrative level.
On July 27, 1975, Zheng Weisan, the "old man" of the revolutionary life, died of illness at the age of 73.
