罗瑞卿是林彪篡夺权力过程中对他威胁最大的人在“文化大革命”期间,林彪、江青一伙为了壮大自己的势力,拼命地网罗党羽,培植自己的亲信爪牙,而对反对他们的人,则设法迫害,不惜置于死地,为其夺权扫除障碍。为了抓住军权,林彪在军队中采用拉拢引诱和威胁相结合的手段,培植他的代理人。他在拉拢、威胁当时的中国人民解放军总参谋长、铁骨汉子罗瑞卿失败后,态度便来了个一百八十度大转弯,把罗瑞卿当作军中第一个要清除的对象。 During the Cultural Revolution, Lin Rui-biao and Jiang Qing fought for their own power, desperately recruiting party members and nurturing their own cronies, and persecuted those who opposed them , They try to persecute, put aside their dead and sweep away the obstacles for their power. In order to seize the military power, Lin Biao used a combination of temptation and threat in the army to cultivate his agent. When he pulled in and threatened the then-chief PLA general chief of staff and ironclad Luo Rui-ching, his attitude fell to a 180-degree turn and regarded Luo Ruiqing as the first target to be cleared in the army.
