中共黨內權鬥動輒以「黨性」征服「人性」，馬列主義理論核心直指暴力奪權。軍事將領調換，表面上是針對國外敵人，但實際上更是在針對內部政敵。因此，頻繁更換軍隊和武警高層，在在為強化領袖個人「『舉』槍指揮黨」。本研究為探討中共高層權力鬥爭和權力重組，習近平通過政治清洗實踐其對軍隊之直接操控，及如何將解放軍變成個人政治權力基礎。本研究聚焦在習近平掌權後迄今之解放軍上將陞黜，以為觀察指標，了解其在中共內部核心權力競奪與鞏固狀況，就共黨內鬨傾軋、層峰分歧所形成之原因進行探究。藉由解放軍上將之省籍分佈、人脈派系歸屬及年紀結構等諸面向，分析中共核心權力競奪，從理論層次歸結中共領導人藉甄拔與查撤解放軍上將達成領導核心重配置。從中追溯人事更迭佈局可以獲悉及解釋其掌控軍權程度之消長變化，故解放軍上將編階之將領佈局可視為是否掌控軍權之象徵，並藉此鑑別中共領導人在黨內權鬥地位之浮沉。

This study focuses on how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping consolidates his military power. In CCP, power struggle is the most important game. There will be a single person who dominates all the politics, the military, and other fields, according to the CCP rules. So we would like to understand the problems on the struggle for the CCP top leadership. This paper examines the specific of the ＂core centralization＂ and ＂the next term of office.＂ It tries to explain how the CCP power operates, what the power struggle within CCP is. We take the advantage of content analysis to figure out the promotion of the PLA three-star generals (admirals), then clarify the trajectory of the power struggle and the causal relationship. Now we realize that the highest leader of CCP, Xi Jinping, is not only to pursue the ＂Chinese Dream,＂ but also to seek massive control power by reshuffle of the three-star generals (admirals) to make his own dream come true.
