There was no Su Yu among the ten founding marshals, and according to the rumors, the reason why there was no Su Yu was because Su Yu resigned as marshal, and Chairman Mao also agreed at that time. The author looked up information and made new discoveries su Yu twice let "handsome".
Su Yu really had the experience of making "handsome" during the war. However, this "marshal" is not a marshal of the level of the founding marshal, but a commander of the military region level or higher, according to historical records, on October 28, 1945, Su Yu sent a telegram to the central government, and the telegram went straight to the subject: Request Zhang Dingcheng as the main commander, what is going on? It turned out that Zhang Dingcheng had been su Yu's old leader, and Su Yu believed that Zhang Dingcheng was superior to himself in all aspects, and if Zhang Dingcheng was the commander, he would serve as the deputy commander and assist Zhang Dingcheng, which would be beneficial to the party's cause, and finally the Central Committee agreed to his request, which is the origin of the "one let commander".
Also in May 1948, Chen Yi was transferred to work in the Central Plains, and the Central Committee decided that the East China Field Army would be led by Su Yu, and later at a meeting in Chengnanzhuang, Su Yu said in front of Mao Zedong and other central leaders: The East China Field Army was commanded by Chen Yi was the result of the expectations of the people, and finally after Su Yu's repeated insistence, the central authorities had to decide that Chen Yi would continue to serve as the commander and political commissar of the East China Field Army, and Su Yu would only serve as a deputy and act as his deputy during Chen Yi's absence, and this was the origin of the "second commander."
Su Yu let Shuai have no historical basis
There is a saying that Su Yu was secretly approved by Chairman Mao after passing the marshal, if this statement is true, then in the process of determining the selection of marshals, Ye Jianying, Xu Xiangqian, and Luo Ronghuan all gave way to Chairman Mao, but none of them were approved, so why was only Su Yu who gave up the marshal approved? In addition to Ye Jianying, Xu Xiangqian, and Luo Ronghuan, there were Xu Haidong, Xu Guangda, and other major generals who gave the rank of general several times, but none of them were approved, that is to say, once the central government made a decision, it was not something you wanted to give up.
There are no records in Su Yu's own memoirs or in other literature
Most of the founding generals had a practice of writing memoirs, but there is no record of Jean Shuai in Su Yu's relevant memoirs. If there was such a statement as Commander Ling, Su Yu would have recorded it, but in fact there was none, and other historical materials did not find that among the ten marshals, they all had a common identity, that is, they were all members of the Central Military Commission at that time, and they were all members of the Central Committee. When he was awarded the title in 1955, Su Yu was not a member of the Central Military Commission or a member of the Central Committee, but only an alternate member of the Central Committee.
summary

Dizziness, frequent tinnitus, after his death and cremation, 3 pieces of shrapnel were found in the ashes of his skull, which was regarded as an heirloom by His wife Chu Qing.
