He once edited Nanchang Uprising and Autumn Harvest Uprising.

Although General Xiao Ke ranks first among the generals, in fact, in terms of Xiao Ke's qualifications and position, this arrangement is still a bit circuitous. Although Lin Biao sent a letter to Mao Zedong highlighting the position of Jinggangshan in the history of our army, and judging from the final result, there are indeed four generals (Su Yu, Huang Kecheng, Tan Zheng and Luo Ruiqing) coming down from Jinggangshan, but the places originally allocated to the Red Second Army among the generals were not given to Xiao Ke, the most representative head of the Red Sixth Army in Jinggangshan, but to Xu Guangda, who was temporarily promoted by surprise. When Xu Guangda was handsome, he also mentioned two names, one was Xiao Ke and the other was Wang Zhen, but both failed. When conferring the title, he saw the military status, qualifications and positions clearly, and looked at the previous political performance in a dark way. The army, qualifications, position is no problem, the last point Xiaoke was cheated. Similarly, many generals of the Fourth Army were artificially demoted because of Zhang.

General Xiao Ke is an old revolutionary. Like Lin Biao, he was born in the fourth phase of Huangpu. General Xiao joined the National Revolutionary Army at the age of sixteen and participated in the Northern Expedition. Later, he worked in Ye Ting Department and joined the Party in 1927. After the failure of Nanchang Uprising, he retreated to Jinggangshan and worked in the reorganized Gongsi Army. From this point of view, Xiao Ke is supposed to be the chairman's Shizuoka faction, but judging from Xiao Ke's personal memoirs, Xiao Ke has always supported Chairman Mao with reservations. In Zhu De, in the debate with Mao Zedong about the Front Committee and the Military Commission, Xiao Ke also tended to Zhu De's side. It was in this debate that Lin Biao got the first bucket of gold. However, Xiao Ke became the commander-in-chief of Gomba Army at the age of 24 by virtue of his meritorious military service. Although not as good as Lin Biao's 24-year-old colonel, he was also one of the representative young generals at that time.

Of course, supporting Zhu De alone is not the main reason why the chairman dislikes Shawk. After five failed counter-campaigns against encirclement and suppression, Xiao Ke was appointed as the head of the Red Sixth Army Corps, as the advance team of the Central Red Army's Long March, seeking to join forces with He Long. Since then, Xiao Ke, as He Long's deputy, has started cooperation with He Long for ten years, which is not very pleasant. Speaking of the misunderstanding between Xiao Ke and He Long for the first time, it was because Xiao Ke and Wang Zhen and their men retreated without authorization in a certain battle, which caused great losses to Helong Department.

After the Western Expedition, Xiao Ke and the Dragon Allied Forces suffered great losses all the way. Only Xiaoke has reduced from nearly 10,000 people at the time of departure to less than 4,000 people. Xiao Ke and his real rescuer was Zhang, who made a splash in Sichuan, Kang and Guizhou. When Zhang won the battle, there were 80 thousand people. Although Zhang looked at others from top to bottom, he was very displeased with He Long, but he was still very polite to Xiao Ke. Judging from Xiao Ke's memoirs, Xiao Ke has a favorable impression on the Red Fourth Army and has no complaints about Zhang Guo Tao himself. Zhang Guo Tao himself expressed his appreciation for Xiao Ke in his memoirs. Shaw was puzzled by the fact that the first army suddenly went north from the fourth army. According to Xiao Ke, this also represented the attitude of most soldiers of the Red Second Front Army at that time. After Zhang set up another central committee, Xiao Ye became Zhang's commander, supported by He Long and Xiao's political commissar. Later, it was not surprising that Mao Zedong had some prejudice against Xiao Ke. In addition, Xiao Ke's backstage boss was fiercely opposed when he was in the Soviet area, and it was inevitable that he was partial to the team led by Xiao Ke in Bibi era.

After Zhang's complete failure, Xiao Ke also returned to Yan 'an and entered the military and political university. During the Anti-Japanese War, he once again partnered with He Long as the deputy commander of 120 Division. Xiao Ke is a great man. When he was He Long's deputy, he also reported He Long to the Central Committee, saying that he was engaged in bandit style in 120 Division and promoted clan cronies. The matter was reported to Chairman Mao's Central Committee and returned to He Long's hands. Wang Zhen, who was accused of He Long with Xiao Ke, passed the inspection immediately. Of course, He Long could not defeat Xiao Ke at that time. In the later period of the Anti-Japanese War, Xiao Ke also served as the deputy commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the commander of the Hebei-Hot-Liao Military Region. Xiao Ke wrote a novel "Bloody Luo Xiao" in his later years, and won the Contradictory Literature Award. The characters in the book are lifelike and lifelike, which is what happened during this period.

When the War of Liberation started, He Long was the commander of the Jinsui Military Region, and Xiao Ke became the vice-president of a military and political university. He gained the name of fighting, but when he got cold feet, he lost his command and decision-making power, which was a bit dispensable. 1949, Xiao Ke was finally liberated and was assigned to the four fields as the chief of staff, but at this time the whole country was almost liberated, and even Liu Yalou was transferred from the chief of staff to the commander of the Corps. Xiaoke just burned a cold stove. Although he caught up with the battles in hublot and so on, the orders were all made by Lin Biao himself, and Xiao Ke's chances of being independent were even slim.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Xiao Ke, the leader of the Agrarian Revolution and the deputy commander in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's time, finally became the champion of a general. Look at the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. They were all marshals, two generals in the brigade commander, Nie as the marshal in the deputy commander, and all the other heads of the Red Army were marshals except those who sacrificed their jobs. Even during the war of liberation, Xiao Ke's position. In the final analysis, Xu Guangda is used to squeeze Xiao Ke's seat. I really don't know what it's like to wear this general's epaulettes, which was once an equal with Nie Rongzhen of He Long.

After serving, in the days when he served as Deputy Minister of Combat Training and Deputy Minister of National Defense, Xiao Ke was above his boss Peng because of the regularization of catch-up. Xiao Ke personally wrote a letter to Peng of the Ministry of National Defense, pleading for the Academy of Military Sciences, saying that he would study Soviet laws and regulations and adhere to normalization. Xiao Ke then held a meeting in the combat training department to criticize General Zhang Zongxun, a close confidant of Peng Zong. As a result, Xiaoke's behavior was named by the chairman, in a word; "Xiaoke has been dishonest in history." Later, it was Huang Kecheng's turn to represent Peng Zong in Xiaoke. Xiaoke is a car-scrapping person, and he is not soft on the whole. Angry Huang Kecheng said: "We need to have more meetings and have in-depth discussions." After the criticism, Xiaoke was forced to leave the army to be the deputy minister of agriculture, which belongs to the category of owning a car and a house without the right.

A year later, Mr. Peng also fell. It is said that he regretted the whole Xiaoke, and told someone to pass the news to Xiaoke, so don't take it to heart. Xiao Ke also expressed regret for the whole Zhang Zongxun in his memoirs in his later years. That's not all, and no one has caught it well.

By the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, Admiral Xiao, who had been sidelined, was even more alienated. It is estimated that in the eulogy of General Xiao's death, there will be no words of resolute struggle against Lin Biao and the Gang of Four, because General Xiao stepped down long ago and it was not his turn to fight against Lin Biao and the Gang of Four. In fact, Admiral Xiao also mentioned in his memoirs that some of Lin Biao's thoughts he felt after 1959 were inappropriate, but he didn't have the courage to say it.

After the Cultural Revolution, Xiao Ke came out again. In 72, he served as president of the military and political university, and later as president of the Academy of Military Sciences. Everyone knows that these places are sanatoriums in Gao Qian. This is an honorary retirement. Look back at Wang Zhen, the old political commissar of Shaw, who is also a general. This scenery is far from the same. During the Cultural Revolution, Wang Zhen did not lose it, nor did the Central Committee. After the Cultural Revolution, thanks to his relationship with Xiaoping, he not only entered the Politburo, but also went to the National People's Congress as the vice chairman of the array, and later became the deputy director of the Central Advisory Committee. This position is generally incorrect. Comparatively speaking, although General Xiao didn't have the above aperture, he finally wore the honorary title of the Standing Committee of the Central Advisory Committee, which is better than nothing.

General Xiao Ke likes to write biographical literature and study military history after retirement. Later, he also served as the editor of the Eighth Route Army series. Xiao Ke famously said, "History is history, and facts cannot be distorted artificially. There is only one truth, and it cannot be changed because of some' political need'. Some comrades like to add icing on the cake, or add insult to injury, and even make materials and distort the facts. This is not a materialistic attitude, and the study of history should be "not only superior, not only pro, but also powerful." "

Of course, Admiral Xiao is more brilliant than others, that is, he can survive, which is obviously inseparable from his optimistic attitude towards life in Huo Da. Up to now, only 97-year-old General Xiao is a senior general of our army during the Red Army period. Only from this point of view, General Xiao has crossed all his contemporaries.
