After leaving the Huangdi Mausoleum, the team no longer stayed, passed through Fuxian and Ganquan, and arrived in Yan'an to meet with the headquarters of the 27th Red Army.
The morning sun shines on the Yan River, the river water is rippling, and silky like silk, shining golden light.
Accompanied by Liu Zhidan, Liu Yimin arrived by the Yan River early in the morning, and the two of them walked and talked.
Liu Zhidan looks very good now and looks simple and concise.
Before the Tianshui Battle, Liu Yimin took decisive measures and issued an order in the name of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region to merge the Red 26th Army and the 27th Army into the Red 27th Army, appoint Liu Zhidan as the commander and political commissar, unified the command and ended the internal forces.
The dispute, coupled with the baptism of fighting with the Third Division to block the Jinsui Army, the Red 27th Army's combat effectiveness has increased significantly and is more united within. Therefore, Liu Zhidan is in a very happy mood now and is strolling with Liu Yimin.
Baota Mountain and Yanhe River water were once the dreams of many people. Now, due to their arrival, they occupied Xi'an, and the central government could not move to Yan'an again. This once glorious Yan'an spirit in history is probably going to be changed to Xi'an spirit.
I don’t know whether this change is good or bad, but one thing is certain, that is, no one in the Red Army is willing to give up the fertile lands of Hanzhong and Xi’an.
After walking to the Yan River, washing his face with water, and drinking another sip of Yan River water, Liu Yimin felt that his worries had been reduced a little. Since history has changed, what's the harm to change a little more? The essence of Yan'an spirit
It is just hard work and pioneering and innovating. As long as you keep these two things in mind, what else can't be done in the world?
Liu Zhidan followed Liu Yimin and saw that the young commander of the army had not spoken. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he said, "Commander, this Yan'an City is also called Yanzhou, and also called Fushi, and has a very long history. I heard from my comrades
You said you went to worship the tomb of Huangdi, and wrote a very impressive sacrificial text. Legend has it that Huangdi lived in Yan'an. Yan'an was derived from the Sui Dynasty, mainly because it was a military center, and people were looking forward to it.
The border is peaceful, and it is called Yan'an. In the past, military strategists called this place Sanqin Lock Key and Five Roads of the Throat, which means that Yan'an's strategic position is important. Many famous generals, including Wu Qi, Meng Tian, Fan Zhongyan, Shen Kuo, Han Qi, etc., are famous officials here.
Showing literary and martial arts, staged a series of tragic historical dramas with golden swords and iron horses.”
Liu Yimin thought to himself, you don’t know that this was the cradle of the Chinese revolution in history!
Seeing that Liu Yimin didn't speak, Liu Zhidan thought he was listening to his introduction, so he pointed his hand and continued: "Commander, look, this Yan'an City is surrounded by Baota Mountain, Qingliang Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, Yanhe and Fenchuan River are
The intersection here is really a treasure land.”
Liu Yimin nodded and asked, "Old Liu, the wheat is ripe now. Have you asked the fellow villagers if they are there? How is the summer harvest?"
Seeing that the commander was concerned about the harvest, Liu Zhidan knew that the commander was not only full of things, but also a practical worker. He said: "This northern Shaanxi is located in the hilly and gully area of the Loess Plateau. It has distinct seasons and deep soil layers, which is suitable for crop growth. It is the only one.
The disadvantage is that it is easy to drought. The climate this year is good, and the wheat is growing well. Even the autumn crops we cultivated incumbently made people happy. However, the northern Shaanxi area is cool, and the wheat has just ripened, and it hasn't started to move sickles yet!"
Liu Yimin thought for a while and told Liu Zhidan: "When the wheat harvest is harvested, we will mobilize all troops and work team cadres to help the fellow villagers catch up and return the grains to the warehouse. We must hurry up. If it rains, the wheat will ferment, and we will go hungry.
”
Liu Zhidan nodded and agreed, and then invited Liu Yimin back for breakfast.
The breakfast is millet porridge, steamed buns, waffles and wild vegetables. There are red dates and red beans in the millet porridge, which is very delicious.
Liu Yimin knew that this was made by the comrades in northern Shaanxi, especially the red dates, which should be very expensive to preserve until this time, so he told Liu Zhidan that he would bother comrades, don't bother so much in the future, eat the same meal as the soldiers, don't
Make special.
Liu Zhidan smiled and said, "This is all produced on the ground in Yan'an, so it's not troublesome. If you want to eat rice here, it's troublesome. The soldiers also have millet porridge, but there are no red dates and red beans. The main consideration is that there are many lesbians in the art troupe.
Added.”
After dinner, Liu Yimin, Cai Zhong, and Zeng Zhongsheng, accompanied by Liu Zhidan, went to the Red 27th Army troops stationed in Yan'an to check the training situation, and handed over the military uniforms, military shoes brought from Xi'an to the army, so that the Red 20th
The cadres and soldiers of the Seventh Army changed from inside to outside.
After distributing the military uniform, Liu Yimin asked Liu Zhidan to collect the soldiers' study textbooks, and several people corrected them on the spot.
I was busy until lunch and had dinner in each company.
In the afternoon, the Red 27th Army lined up by the Yan River to be inspected by Liu Yimin.
Liu Yimin walked from the front to the end, sorted out military uniforms for the soldiers in the first row and corrected his military posture. Then he stood in the middle of the team and said, "The Red Twenty-Seventh Army is a heroic team created by our party and a legendary team.
Under the leadership of comrades Xie Zichang, Liu Zhidan and other comrades, we insisted on the armed struggle in northern Shaanxi and established red bases, and the ups and downs, and the more we fought, the stronger it became. Practice proved that the Red Army in northern Shaanxi was correct to adhere to the path of armed struggle, and the Red Army in northern Shaanxi was glorious.
! In this battle to fight against the Jinsui Army and delay the enemy's attack on Xi'an, the Red 27th Army was tested and made military achievements. The Party Central Committee, Chairman Mao, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, Comrade Luo Fu
He highly praised the achievements of the Red 27th Army and awarded Comrade Liu Zhidan the Red Star Medal for encouragement."
After a pause, Liu Yimin said again: "Now, although we have driven Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary forces from Shaanxi, our revolutionary road is still very long. The Japanese invaders occupied the northeast of our country, and 30 million people are in pain.
Struggle. The old hatred has not been eliminated, and the new hatred has been added. The Japanese invaders extended their claws to North China again, constantly provoking trouble, and attempting to turn North China into the second Manchukuo. Comrades, as descendants of Yan and Huang, as Chinese
,You answer me, can we agree?"
The soldiers yelled together like thunder, "Don't agree!"
Liu Yimin nodded with satisfaction and continued: "If you want to defeat the Japanese invaders, you must improve our tactical quality and build a stable base. The Red 27th Army is the sons of the elders of Shaanxi. I hope that comrades must study hard and master culture.
Knowledge, unite and lead fellow villagers to build northern Shaanxi well. Let the barren mountains and wilderness turn into our big forests, big orchards and thousands of hectares of fertile fields to support our war of resistance. I also hope that comrades will practice their ability to kill enemies and improve their combat skills.
Let me first talk about it here. In the spring of next year, the Red Seventh Army will also conduct technical competitions. At that time, the Red Seventh Army and the Red Seventh Army will participate. Based on the results of the competition, the main force of the Red Seventh Army will be organized.
OK, of course, the main force is the first to replace new weapons and go to the battlefield first, and the logistics supply is first to meet the needs. If the performance is poor, it will be organized into the Shaanxi Security Force and use the weapons eliminated by the main force, and the logistics supply will be relatively poor.
Comrades, tell me, do you want to be organized into the main force or the guard force?”
This made these old Red Army soldiers feel excited and yelled under the leadership of the cadres: "We must be the main force!"
Seeing that the morale had been aroused, Liu Yimin asked Cai Zhong to read the commendation order of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region. Subsequently, Liu Yimin, Cai Zhong, Zeng Zhongsheng, Liu Zhidan, Xi Zhongxun, Gao Gang and others issued certificates to the meritorious soldiers, wearing red flowers, and exaggerating the atmosphere warmly.
Incomparable.
In the evening, the 7th Army Art Troupe held a condolence performance. The program was basically the same as the program when condolenced the Red 25th Army. A chorus of "Ten Sends to the Red Army" pushed the party to a climax. The first time the soldiers heard such a nice song
, they all stood up, and the cheers came far and far away.
The next day, Liu Yimin, Cai Zhong, Zeng Zhongsheng, and Tang Xingying, accompanied by Liu Zhidan, checked the terrain of Yan'an on the spot, went to the wheat fields to carefully check the fullness of the wheat ears, and visited several fellow villagers.
At this time, Yan'an had a small population. Like Wuqi Town, which was very famous in later generations, there were only seven households.
After Liu Yimin saw this, he thought that northern Shaanxi could immigrate. Think about the population base of Shaanxi Province due to war and famine, the population base itself is not large. If you want to develop production and revitalize the economy, it is not possible to have a certain population base. Next year, Sichuan and Henan
A severe drought is an opportunity. At that time, it will attract disaster victims to divert into Shaanxi. First, it can save many people, and second, it can strengthen Shaanxi's strength.
In the evening, Liu Yimin didn't want Tang Xingying to work too hard, so he discussed with her and asked her to rest in Yan'an for a few days, and then led the art troupe to return to Xi'an and left two companies to escort them.
When Tang Xingying was worshiping the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum, she heard Liu Yimin’s words with his wife Tang Xingying in the tribute, and felt a sense of glory and pride in her heart. In addition, the oil paintings that Liu Yimin painted for her on the road were at this time.
When she was happy, she had a strong relationship with her newlyweds and had a great love. How could she leave Liu Yimin and return to Xi'an? She firmly disagreed and said directly that she was his wife. Not to mention that she was so safe to go to Yulin, she would not leave him even if she went to the battlefield. The art troupe could
Return to Xi'an and ask him to find someone else to lead the team back.
Liu Yimin had to go and discuss with Cai Zhong and asked him to take the art troupe to stay, rest in Yan'an for a few days, then return to Xi'an, leaving two companies of the guards to escort them. He and Zeng Zhongsheng took Shen Qian Yiyi to Yanchang first, check Yanchang
The oil mine situation, then go north to Yulin.
When Cai Zhong heard this, he shook his head like a rattle and said it was no, he had to go to Yulin no matter what, he had to go to Hanzhong. In short, he went wherever Liu Yimin went, and he wanted to throw him off, but there was no door!
Liu Yimin patiently said that there are many female soldiers in the art troupe, and the road conditions for the next trip are not good and it is very hard, so I should let them return to Xi'an. But someone must lead the team, otherwise I will not feel at ease.
Cai Zhong asked Tang Xingying if she would go to Yulin?
Liu Yimin said there was nothing she could do, so she had to bring it with her.
Cai Zhong immediately said: "I only now know what it means to value sex over friends. Brother gay, it's okay!"
Liu Yimin knew that Cai Zhong really wanted to be with him, so he no longer forced himself. Think about it, the soldiers of the art troupe rarely came to northern Shaanxi once. If they were asked to go back, they would probably wipe their tears. Forget it, go to Yulin together, there is a desert there
There are grasslands, which opens the soldiers' eyes.
The next morning, Liu Yimin and his party rushed to Yanchang with Liu Zhidan, Xi Zhongxun, Gao Gang and others.
"The Book of Han" records: "There is flammable water in Shangjun, which is flammable." It refers to the fact that there is oil in Yan'an, northern Shaanxi. Shen Kuo, a great scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, named the flammable water "Petroleum" in "Mengxi Bitan" and boldly named the flammable water and boldly
It is predicted that "this thing will be very popular in the world afterwards", which is the source of the term oil.
Liu Yimin came from 21 actual situation and was very clear about the history of oil mining in northern Shaanxi. He knew that the first oil well in mainland China was born to the west of Yanchang County. He also knew that the motion for Yanchang oil mining was in 1903. In 1905, the Qing government established the Yanchang Petroleum Plant, and in 1907
On September 10, the first oil well "Yanyi Well" was found, and 150 kilograms of oil were produced that day.
In February 1814, Yuan Shikai signed the Sino-US Joint Oil Mine Treaty with the United States and established the Sino-US Oil Mine Firm, allowing Mobil Oil to extend its mining for 60 years. As a result, three drilling teams of Mobil Oil Company were
Tongchuan, central, Yan'an, and seven drilling ports were seen in Tongchuan, central, Yan'an, and although the oil layer was seen, it was believed that the economic value was not great and concluded that oil was poor in mainland China.
Later, Chinese petroleum geologists Wang Zhuquan, Pan Zhongxiang and others visited northern Shaanxi for investigation many times and formed a unique theory. In 1934, the northern Shaanxi oil mine exploration office was established, and several oil wells appeared in oil-rich.
Historically, after the Red Army's property certificate arrived in Yan'an, people were sent to accept Yanchang Oil Mine, manage and resume production. It was not until Wang Peng, who graduated from the Department of Geology at Tsinghua University in 40 years that he went to Yanchang Oil Mine to work, and since then he opened.
The production of meritorious wells has increased significantly, not only gasoline and kerosene, but also candles, gun oil, graphite, butter, and made contributions to the War of Resistance against Japan and the War of Liberation.
Wang Peng is still in school and has not participated in the Red Army, but he brought Shen Qianyi and, in addition, he understood the situation of the oil fields in northern Shaanxi, with just a little adjustment, the oil wells will naturally be highly produced. Liu Yimin believed in this.
The extended distance of Yan'an is only about 100 miles. The Red 27th Army cadres led the way, and there were cars and war horses. The marching speed was very fast. At noon, the team arrived at Yanchang County.
Since she wanted to carefully check the production situation of the oil field, Liu Yimin ordered the team to extend the camp and rest, and asked Zhao Xiaoman to take the soldiers to visit.
After dinner, Liu Yimin called comrades from Yanchang County Party Committee and County Government to understand the situation of Yanchang Oil Mine. As a result, it was beyond Liu Yimin. Since the Red Army occupied the place, the oil mine had stopped production, and the management personnel were basically finished. The technicians and workers could run away.
After running away, those who can't run away are all staying at home.
Liu Yimin immediately criticized Liu Zhidan and others for not having the vision of developing the economy and being poor by guarding the money and making trouble. After criticizing, the cadres asked the left-behind technicians to come over and he wanted to have a discussion with them.
In the afternoon, Liu Yimin held a symposium on the extension. The participants were technicians and workers' representatives left behind. Liu Zhidan, Cai Zhong and others also participated in the symposium.
After understanding, the drilling equipment at this time was a pneumatic drilling rig, which relied on oil spraying from the oil well and refining oil in copper pots. Liu Yimin thought about it and it was not until 1948 that Yanchang Oil Mine began to use explosives and hydrochloric acid to improve the oil output rate.
At the symposium, Liu Yimin made three decisions: First, all crude oil mine technicians and workers will join the Red Army and implement the supply system. The technicians' wives and children will also implement the supply system. The fleeing technicians and workers will try their best to find and mobilize them to come back.
Participate in the work. The second is to establish the Yanchang Oil Mine Management Committee. Liu Zhidan temporarily served as the director of the Management Committee. He immediately cleaned up the equipment, resumed production, and ensured market supply. The third is that a company was sent by the Red 27th Army as the Yanchang Oil Mine Security Force.
In the evening, Liu Yimin sent a telegram to the central government, reporting on the detailed situation of condolences to the 27th Red Army, and also reporting on the upcoming harvest of summer grain in northern Shaanxi, focusing on reporting on the situation of the extension of the oil mine and the measures he took. At the end of the telegram, Liu Yimin It was written: "Restoring and expanding Yanchang oil mine production is of great significance to the Chinese revolution. No oil has been found in the Kuomintang-controlled area and the Japanese war zone. Yanchang oil mine is the treasure among treasures, and to some extent more precious than gold mines. The original plan to sink Qianyi stayed to serve as the leader of the oil mine, but considering that Chen Qianyi still needed to find coal mines and iron mines, he could not stay in Yanchang for the time being. Now he is eager to find experts from the Geological Survey Institute through relationships such as Wang Zhuquan, Pan Zhongxiang, Xie Jiarong, Yang Gongzhao, and Peking University Hu Bosu and others came to work in northern Shaanxi and could get better treatment. Peking University and Tsinghua University geology students need as much as they have, and major students also need as much as they have. Northern Shaanxi is a treasure house of resources and urgently needs all kinds of talents."
The next day, Liu Yimin asked these technicians to lead the way, inspected the major oil wells of Yanchang Oil Mine in detail, and inspected the oil refinery.
Originally, Liu Yimin wanted to use his golden finger and directly designated a few mining sites. After thinking about it, he could not be willful, as this would reduce the fun of scientists' exploration and research. As long as he wanted to combine experts from the Institute of Geology and Peking University and Tsinghua University. The geology department teachers will naturally find it. At this time, the situation in North China is unstable and it is easy to mobilize these experts to go south.
When leaving the prolongation, Liu Zhidan looked a little frowning.
Liu Yimin told him that he didn't have to worry. He had to rely on these technicians and workers to quickly resume production when he returned to Xi'an. He would send him experts. He served as the director of the management committee and arrested production, and the new knowledgeable ones The director of the Management Committee and the director of the refinery will take office soon.
After thinking about it, Liu Yimin couldn't help but tell Liu Zhidan that it was said that the American Mobil Oil Company left several sets of drilling equipment in Yan'an and asked him to go back and search in detail, find it out as soon as possible, and put it into use.
Liu Zhidan then felt relieved and said to Liu Yimin directly: "I'm not afraid of the commander's jokes. Our old Liu can only fight for war and revolution. This job of refining is really impossible."
Liu Yimin told him seriously: "As a senior cadre, it is terrible to just know how to fight and not build. It doesn't matter if you don't, just learn. If you don't know how to learn or not, you may be a great hero when fighting, and the era of peace construction is The great destructionists may cause serious consequences but do not know that they are not aware of the serious consequences. We Red Army cadres and Communists must be learning talents, learn by learning, learn by life, and learn for life. Be a hero who can plan and win a thousand miles. A scholar-oriented leader in civil affairs and developing political, cultural and economics. Only in this way can our country develop quickly and make people's living standards continuously improve."
Liu Zhidan and others slowly savored Liu Yimin's words, and the more they tasted, the more interesting they felt. Finally, Liu Zhidan asked whether he could sort out Liu Yimin's conversations these days and report them to the central government for the cadres to learn?
Liu Yimin smiled and replied that yes.
Only then did the few people say goodbye reluctantly.
