Introduction
htmlIn the 250s, Liu Jiqun, deputy county magistrate of Huanggang County, asked Lin Biao to help buy a car, and during this period, he encountered various twists and turns. Later, under Lin Biao's prestige and care, a car team was established in Huanggang County. It is said that this is the first county-level automobile team established in Hubei.Liu Jiqun wrote a letter to Lin Biao
Liu Jiqun, from Dalian City, Liaoning Province. After Japan surrendered to , he participated in the revolution. In 1949, he followed the Fourth Field Army south. Soon, he was assigned to work by the Communist Party of China to work in the Huanggang County People's Government, and was promoted from section chief to deputy county magistrate.
In the summer of 1958, relevant central departments held the "National Handicraft Products Exhibition" in Beijing and notified all provinces, cities and counties to organize relevant personnel to visit Beijing. After receiving the notice from his superiors, Huanggang County decided to take people to Beijing by Deputy County Mayor Liu Jiqun.
During the visit, Liu Jiqun met Li Jianan, deputy director of the Huanggang Regional Planning Committee. Li Jian'an, from Hebei, is a cadre who went south and has just been transferred from Guangji County.
Li Jian'an asked Liu Jiqun: "Does your county have important leaders in the central government and various ministries and commissions?" Liu Jiqun said, "Yes."
Li Jian'an asked again, "Which?" Liu Jiqun said, "Lin Biao, Vice Chairman of the CPC Central Committee."

Li Jian'an reminded Liu Jiqun to seize this opportunity to come to Beijing and ask Lin Biao to support the economic construction of his hometown. With Lin Biao's reputation and status, it is definitely no problem to do some machinery and materials. Liu Jiqun had never done anything like
before. He said that Lin Biao's status was too high, how could he see it? Li Jianan told him that the matter was done by man.
Liu Jiqun was thinking about what to do when he met He Guangnan, a material purchaser. He immediately told He Guangnan about Li Jian'an's opinion and asked him to think of a solution together. He Guangnan is smart and is familiar with the situation in Beijing.
He analyzed that Lin Biao had just become the vice chairman and was in high spirits. It is very hopeful to go to him at this time. It just so happened that he had a blank letter of introduction from the county government. You can write a letter of introduction to the Ministry of National Defense to try it.
Liu Jiqun thought the method was good and agreed to go to the Ministry of National Defense on the second day. That night, Liu Jiqun and his staff member Chen Fusheng said that if you write well, you will write the letter of introduction. Chen Fusheng agreed readily. Soon, the letter was written:
Vice Chairman Lin:
Here we introduce Deputy County Mayor Liu Jiqun and Cadre He Guangnan to report to you the situation and work in their hometown. Please receive it.
This tribute!
Huanggang County People's Government
Then, when Chen Fusheng wanted to write an envelope, He Guangnan immediately stopped and said that he would discuss it. Originally, he wanted to write "the Ministry of National Defense transfers to Vice Chairman Lin", but after He Guangnan analyzed that it was necessary to write "the Vice Chairman Lin personally received it", otherwise, the staff around Lin Biao would handle the letter as a letter from the general public.
Liu Jiqun, who was sitting next to him, thought He Guangnan’s statement made sense and told Chen Fusheng that writing “in-person collection” is more reliable.
Liu Jiqun received a call from Lin Biao's secretary
On the second day, Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan came to the defense department with a letter. He Guangnan handed the letter of introduction to the sentry standing guard, and introduced Liu Jiqun to the sentry and said, "This is the county magistrate Liu of our county." The sentry had read the letter of introduction and asked them to go to the reception room inside, saying that there was a special person to talk to.
The one who received the two was a school-level officer. The other party said concisely that Vice Chairman Lin was not in the Ministry of National Defense, so there was no need for both of them to go in. Liu Jiqun thought it was not easy to come to Beijing, so he wanted the officer to help convey the letter, but the officer said he could not see Lin Biao either.
After coming out of the Ministry of National Defense, although Liu Jiqun was a little disappointed, he could understand the behavior of the reception officer. After all, the Ministry of National Defense is an important military agency and will strictly control the entry and exit of non-staff members. First, it reduces the burden on the leader, and second, it ensures the safety of the leader. This is their duty.
After returning to his residence, Liu Jiqun was a little unwilling to accept it. At this time, "think tank military advisor" He Guangnan suggested that Vice Chairman Lin is not the Vice Premier of the State Council? Let's go to the State Council again, maybe there is some hope to get there.
Liu Jiqun thought about it and thought this method was feasible, so the two walked towards Xinhuamen . After arriving at the local area, the sentry standing guard told them that they could not enter the main entrance and they should go through the side door or behind.
https://www.sou.com/ The Sentinel heard that it was from Lin Biao's hometown, and there was a deputy county magistrate. He first read the letter of introduction, and then thought: "These two people came to Beijing from Hunan to find Vice Chairman Lin. It must be important."
So the Sentinel picked up the microphone and reported to a deputy director Zhang of the General Office of the State Council . After a while, Deputy Director Zhang came out and led the two to the reception room of the General Office.
Deputy Director Zhang said that Lin Biao has been recuperating in Shanghai for a long time and has just returned to Beijing. It’s a coincidence that you have happened. Liu Jiqun smiled. Deputy Director Zhang asked them if they wanted to see Lin Biao now? Liu Jiqun said that if Lin Biao had time, that would be fine.
Deputy Director Zhang said that Lin Biao is in a meeting and if you have any questions, you can talk to his secretary first. After saying that, Deputy Director Zhang walked to the telephone room and successfully answered the phone number of Secretary Lin Biao Xiaoguan.
After Deputy Director Zhang explained the situation to Secretary Xiao Guan, Xiao Guan replied that Vice Chairman Lin had just returned to Beijing and there were too many things, and he was in a meeting, so he couldn't find time to meet the deputy county magistrate. After finishing his sentence, Xiao Guan thought for a while and said to Deputy Director Zhang, please ask the deputy county magistrate to say a few words.
After Liu Jiqun received the call, Xiao Guan told him that Lin Biao was very busy during this period and asked him if he could wait here for 10 days. Liu Jiqun said truthfully that he had been in Beijing for many days and had things to deal with at home, so he probably couldn't wait that long.
In fact, Xiao Guanxin has long been like a mirror, knowing that Liu Jiqun wanted to see Lin Biao, and it is very likely that he wanted supplies.
Then, Xiao Guan said that if Liu Jiqun had something to do, he could tell him that he would tell Lin Biao. Lin Biao told Deputy Director Zhang. Having said this, Xiao Guan asked Deputy Director Zhang to speak again.
About an hour, Deputy Director Zhang hung up the phone. He told Liu Jiqun, Xiao Guan said, if you have anything to do, go to the Ministry of National Defense to discuss it directly. He had called the Ministry of Defense and forwarded Vice Chairman Lin's opinion to them.
When Liu Jiqun heard that he was going to talk to the Ministry of National Defense, he immediately remembered the scene he had at the Ministry of National Defense yesterday. He quickly said, will they receive us? Deputy Director Zhang said that he had already said hello, don’t worry.
has achieved this point, and Liu Jiqun was very satisfied. He felt that directly talking to Lin Biao's secretary was equivalent to finding Lin Biao. Then, it was a matter of time to do materials.
Liu Jiqun asked the General Logistics Department for car
. So, the two came to the Ministry of National Defense again. The sentry who stood guard last time changed, and they first explained the purpose of the sentry. The sentry said that he had received instructions from the General Office: Two guests from Lin Biao's hometown are here, please allow them to enter.

arrived at the reception room, a deputy director named Zhang received them. This Deputy Director Zhang is very strong and has a very kind attitude.
After reading Liu Jiqun's letter of introduction, he asked, what do you have any requirements? Liu Jiqun said that their county town is located in , East Hubei, and has plains, hills and mountainous areas. At present, the county town is in urgent need of machinery such as cars, oil harvesters, tractors, etc. If the Ministry of National Defense has these things, please support us for the sake of Vice Chairman Lin. After hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang Zhang immediately took a pen and a few pieces of paper and said to Zhang Jiqun, "What materials do you need, please write them on it."
Liu Jiqun immediately wrote down the required supplies.
Then, Deputy Director Zhang took the list and discussed with another person in charge of the Ministry of National Defense, and then told Liu Jiqun that other materials are not easy to deal with, so give 15 trucks in your county for transportation. I will write you a official letter to the General Logistics Department for approval.
At that time, cars were very tight supplies. Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan had already been happy when they heard that they had solved so many cars at one time. They were so excited that they couldn't stop talking and said repeatedly, "Okay."
So, Deputy Director Zhang took a pen and wrote a letter to the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army.The general meaning is that due to the lack of cars in Huanggang County, Hubei Province, please help solve 15 vehicles. After writing the
Deputy Director Zhang, he sealed the envelope and handed it to Liu Jiqun, emphasizing that you will take this letter to the General Logistics Department and make the decision on what car you give, how much it costs, and where to pick it up.
Liu Jiqun received the official letter and said gratefully, thank you for your concern and support for Huanggang .
Liu Jiqun came to Beijing to bring back 10 large trucks and 1 diesel generator
and returned to his residence for a while. Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan didn't bother to eat a bite, so they took the bus to the General Logistics Department to complete the car approval procedures.
After meeting with the person in charge of the General Logistics Department, they handed over the official letter. The person in charge read the official letter and said to himself that there was no such strange thing in the past. How could a county come to the General Logistics Department to ask for a car?
He Guangnan saw that the person in charge had doubts about them, so he told them the cause and effect. In order to be foolproof, the person in charge called Deputy Director Zhang of the General Office of the Ministry of National Defense and verified it. After confirming that it was correct, the person in charge took the official letter to ask the leaders of the General Logistics Department.
At that time, the troops were not very adequate. Adjust 15 cars at once. No matter which unit it is, it is quite difficult. However, after all, Lin Biao's hometown wanted a car, and the General Logistics Department had to give it to him. After research, several leaders from relevant departments of the General Logistics Department of
After research, considering that the troops were too tight, they decided to reduce the indicator by 5 vehicles and sell only 10 vehicles to Huanggang County, each vehicle priced at 4,000 yuan.
Then, the deputy director of the General Office of the General Office told Liu Jiqun that Huanggang is a county with a glorious revolutionary tradition and has made great contributions to the Chinese revolution, including Chen Tanqiu, Vice Chairman Lin, Zhang Hao (i.e., Lin Yuying ), Lin Yunan's famous revolutionaries, and famous scientists such as Li Siguang .

As a military force, it should support the construction of Huanggang County, but you should also know that the current military's cars are also very nervous and it is indeed impossible to send out 15 vehicles. Please forgive me.
The deputy director said very well, and Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan kept nodding to express their understanding.
After the two of them got the approval document from the General Logistics Department, they thought to themselves that although the indicators were deducted a little, the problem was still solved, not to mention that the price of each car is only 4,000 yuan, which is actually a small sale and a big gift.
When He Guangnan went to the General Logistics Department to handle the procedures for picking up cars in Guangdong, a person in charge of the General Logistics Office said that you are from Vice Chairman Lin’s hometown and are very representative. We would like to ask you to give a report on the situation in your county to the cadres of the agency. Is it OK?
He Guangnan said that his level is low, so if you give a report to the army, wouldn’t it be a show of your skills? The person in charge of the general office of
said that the significance is greater than the report, so he doesn't have to worry. He Guangnan still dared not agree. He said, "I am afraid that I will not be able to make it a good decision, so I will embarrass Vice Chairman Lin."
heard this, the other party was a little unhappy. Then, let’s say something next, make some preparations and talk in the afternoon. Otherwise, the procedures for picking up the car will not be completed. Seeing this, He Guangnan had to rush the duck to put it on the shelves. Although his level is not high, he has developed a good eloquence in purchasing. After he came to power, he neither talked about theory nor big truth. It only tells the story of Lin Biao's teenager engaged in anti-imperialist and anti-feudal activities in his hometown and Wuhan. What he did not expect was that the report received unanimous praise from the officers below the audience. Everyone said: "Vice Chairman Lin's hometown buyers are also of good quality." After He Guangnan finished speaking, a leader of the General Logistics Department told him that in order to support the construction of Vice Chairman Lin's hometown, the General Secretary decided to give Huanggang County a high-power diesel engine.

After coming out of the General Logistics Department, He Guangnan told Liu Jiqun about this matter as soon as he returned to his residence. After hearing this, Liu Jiqun laughed and said, "I can get a diesel engine for a report, but it's still worth it!"
At this time, the national handicraft exhibition was not over yet, and people from all over the country did not leave. The news that Lin Biao had 10 cars for his hometown at one time spread quickly.
The 8 cars brought back by Liu Jiqun formed a team of cars
1 months after the Huanggang County People's Government mentioned cars in Guangdong. The car drove to Wuhan, causing a lot of sensation. Many units in Hunan Province and Wuhan City envy these 10 cars and ask Huanggang County to sell 1 to 2 cars for them.
When the relevant departments of Huanggang County were considering buying a car, they borrowed 40,000 yuan. After asking the county people's government for approval, they sold 2 vehicles to Wuhan City at a price of 20,000 yuan per vehicle.
At that time, there were still very few domestic cars. Two of the eight cars brought back from Guangdong were American trucks and six were Soviet cars. American cars were trophy seized from the Kuomintang troops during the Liberation War, and Soviet cars were left to the Central Army when the Soviet army evacuated from the Northeast.

htmlIn the 250s, transportation in Huanggang County was underdeveloped and there were few cars. The county suddenly added 8 cars, and the cadres and the masses were very happy. When the car drove into Huangzhou City, the county transportation department held a large welcoming ceremony on Shengli Street and set off many firecrackers to celebrate. All officials from the county people's government attended the welcoming ceremony. As soon as the ceremony ended, eight cars drove to Lin Biao's hometown, and returned to Longshan .At that time, Linjia Dawan had no roads yet, so the car could only drive to Tangpuling, 1.5 kilometers away from Linjia Dawan. On the second day, the Huanggang County People's Government also wrote a "Thank you letter" to Lin Biao in Beijing. It is unknown whether Lin Biao received this "Thank you letter".
With 8 cars, Huanggang County established a car team. Since then, Huanggang's road bus passenger and freight industries have gradually begun. In 1960, the national transportation department carried out institutional reforms, and the Hubei Provincial Department of Transportation took this opportunity to establish an automobile transportation company .
The number of cars in the province was not enough, so the 8 cars that Lin Biao bought for his hometown were transferred away.
Although the batch of cars that Lin Biao bought for his hometown did not last long, it still played a great role in promoting Huanggang's economic construction. The agricultural and sideline products produced by ordinary people in the mountainous areas are quickly transported to Tuanfeng Yangtze River Wharf by cars, and then transported to Wuhan and Shanghai.
