So why did Chairman Mao ask Yu Qiuli to leave the army? How did Yu Qiuli do after leaving the army?
oil, lifeblood!
World industrial history has proved the theory of building a country again and again. Whether you admit it or not, the world since the 20th century has been oil that has led mankind to one glory after another. Whoever ignores the importance of "the blood of the earth" will not be able to control the giant ship of advance in the industrial society that represents modern civilization.
Looking at world history, the emerging empire of the United States cannot do without two words: oil!
The first person in China to foresee the importance of oil: Shen Kuo . He once said: "There is oil in the territory of 年, Yan... quite like lacquer, but it is like hemp, but the smoke is very thick, and the curtains are all black. I suspect that the smoke can be used, so I try to sweep the coal and think it is ink. The black light is like lacquer, and the pine and ink are not enough... This thing must be very popular in the world, and I will do it since I started."
Shen Kuo
But in the future, China became a backward in the oil industry. Mao Zedong naturally attached importance to oil, but the new China he established did not have any foundation for the development of the oil industry. The Chinese people call oil "foreign oil", which deeply hurt Mao Zedong's heart. The Chinese must develop their own oil industry, they must! China's industry must also get rid of "foreign oil", and the blood of industry must never be controlled by others!
So on the 18th day after the announcement of the founding of the People's Republic, the Central People's Government issued an order to establish the Ministry of Fuel Industry in the name of the Central People's Government and personally nominated Chen Yu, a senior industrial revolution , as minister. The Ministry established the Petroleum Administration the following year.
In August 1952, Mao Zedong issued another order to establish the "Ministry of Geology of the Central People's Government". Li Siguang was appointed as minister by Mao Zedong on the way back to China, which shows his anxiousness.
One day in 1958, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai talked in Fengze Garden for more than two hours, but the content was unknown. But later recorded historical materials gave us a reliable speculation: two great men from the Republic studied a major event together. This big event is basically a topic: China's oil issues and the candidates for Chinese oil ministers.
Ministry of Petroleum Industry had been established in 1955, but no progress has been made so far, so the anxious Mao Zedong decided to change his general.
"Are you unwilling to take off your military uniform?"
A normal day after the "Book of Spring" in 1958. In the afternoon, a sky blue sedan quietly stopped outside the gate of Fengzeyuan. A resolute-looking general walked out of the car, with two star stars on his shoulders shining brightly.
After a closer look, the general's sleeve on his left was empty. It turned out that it was Yu Qiuli, the famous one-armed general of our army. His left arm was intercepted due to injury during the Long March 6 of . He frowned at this time, and Chairman Mao urgently summoned him, not knowing what important matters were.
After entering the house, Yu Qiuli gave a standard military salute: "Report to Chairman, I'm here!" Chairman Mao, who was smoking on the sofa, raised his head slightly: "Okay, it's Comrade Yu Qiuli!" Then he waved his hand to signal him to sit down.
Yu Qiuli sat down, Chairman Mao spoke: "The Prime Minister and President Peng recommend you to be the Minister of Petroleum. Do you hear you have some ideas?"
Yu Qiuli
"Chairman, I'm afraid that the Minister of Petroleum can't bear the burden!" Yu Qiuli replied, "Chairman, we have a lot of senior cadres, and you can choose any one better than me!"
In fact, Mao Zedong was not suddenly on a whim for the person in front of him to serve as the Minister of Petroleum . At the preparatory meeting of the fifth session of the first National People's Congress a month or two ago, when he asked Zhou Enlai about whether he had confirmed the candidate for oil minister, when he heard Zhou En say he was about to transfer Yu Qiuli, Mao Zedong nodded and said, "Okay, this comrade, okay."
Chairman Mao was smoking a cigarette, and after a while of silence, he suddenly asked, "How old are you this year?" "43 years old." Yu Qiuli sat upright and replied.
"You are young! This is actually the same as fighting a war. You must have strategic thinking and a decisive spirit of not being afraid of the enemy and moving forward bravely.Alas, comrade , are you right? "
Mao Zedong was talking, and suddenly saw the star on Yu Qiuli's shoulder, as if he understood something. So he said to Yu Qiuli, "Are you unwilling to take off your military uniform? "Then the beginning scene came.
Under Chairman Mao's guidance, Yu Qiuli finally took on this heavy burden.
Minister of Petroleum
After becoming the Minister of Petroleum, Yu Qiuli fought with tens of thousands of oil workers. According to Mao Zedong Thought and the fine traditions of the Party, he fundamentally changed the situation of relying on "foreign oil" to live a life, and made important contributions to the development of the country's oil industry and national economy.
The year when Yu Qiuli took office, the "Great Leap Forward" began. The Ministry of Petroleum also put forward a more ambitious goal in the social needs of "large steelmaking" - one ton of steel and one ton of oil, The competition with the Ministry of Metallurgy began! This was almost impossible to achieve from the later perspective, but it objectively promoted the great development of the oil industry at that time.
In this year, good news came from Sichuan: After the No. 2 well of Longnusi, the No. 3 well of Nanchong was blown up again on the 12th, with a daily output of 300 tons! On the 16th, the No. 1 well of Penglai also sprayed oil, with a daily output of 100 tons. The three structures in which Mitsui are located are more than 200 kilometers apart, which means that the "big oil field" that the Ministry of Petroleum has been long-awaited for is coming in front of us!
The Ministry of Petroleum immediately formed the Sichuan-Central Petroleum Battle Leading Group. The leader Kang Shien is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Petroleum and a cadre who has made great contributions to China's oil industry. "Yu Kang" has become the Chinese stone for a long time. The flag of the oil industry.
Kang Shien
Then, the first oil battle in New China, with this outpost, started. For a time, exploration teams from several main oil forces of the Republic rushed to the "Nation of Heavenly Mansion" from the oil fields in Yumen, Xinjiang and Qinghai respectively. More than 100 drilling rigs on the central Sichuan land on the Jialing River , and majestic battle formations were set up on seven geological structures. Kang Shien issued the order: 20 key wells must be quickly taken out on the three geological structures that have seen oil, as the main exploration task before the entire battle.
The former 57th Division, which was reorganized into the First Oil Industry Division under the order of the Central Military Commission in 1952, also made a discovery in the area near the Songliao Basin of - there is oil in the area near Daqing ! In September 1959, after discovering oil resources in Daqing District, Yu Qiuli personally served as secretary of the Working Committee of the Daqing Oil Battle Command. Daqing Oil Battle began.
37 factories, mines and colleges of the oil system organized personnel to bring their own equipment, and some departments of the State Council, retired People's Liberation Army soldiers and demobilized officers, as well as the older generation of oil people represented by the Iron Man Wang Jinxi entered the Songnen Plain in the Northeast and launched the oil battle. It took only three and a half years to prove the super-large oil field with an area of more than 860 square kilometers, built a production capacity of 5 million tons of crude oil per year, and produced 511.662 million tons of crude oil.
Yu Qiuli and oil workers
After that, oil battles have been fought one after another across the country, providing the premise for China's industry, especially the national defense industry, to get rid of "foreign oil". Yu Qiuli and other Chinese oil workers suffered for two or three generations to lay the foundation for the future take-off of China's industry.
Conclusion
From December 1964 to June 1970, Yu Qiuli was transferred to the position of first deputy director and secretary-general of the National Planning Commission, leading the work of the Central "Sub-Planning Committee". Since then, he has served as Vice Premier of the State Council, Director of the State Planning Commission, Director of the National Energy Commission, Director of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, Deputy Secretary-General of the Central Military Commission, and made great contributions to maintaining national stability and reform and opening up in a special period!
When it was about to enter the new century, at 11:24 on February 3, 1999, Yu Qiuli died in Beijing at the age of 85. It ended his life dedicated to the people.
