In the next few days, Yuan Su's main focus was temporarily on rectifying the aftermath of Shangqiu.
He held two simple meetings one after another. In both meetings, there was no nonsense. He arranged the political tasks concisely and clearly. At the same time, he strictly ordered the temporarily formed democratic government to complete the tasks meticulously. The focus of the so-called political tasks is naturally to fulfill them.
Previous commitments were made to increase assistance to the people in Shangqiu.
In accordance with Yuan Su's wishes, the people's government not only provided rescue stations in various places to provide free porridge to all people every day, but also organized local workers and merchants to actively resume business operations. Factories opened, merchants opened markets, and social order was restored.
If it can resume operation, many refugees can also find a temporary job to make a living. During the winter season, it is the busy time of farming, and because of the previous civil unrest and excessive levies of miscellaneous taxes, most farmers revolted, so the farmers instead
This is the core problem. In the entire Shangqiu and even in most areas of Henan Province, most of the refugees are bankrupt and desperate farmers. Including the militia soldiers who previously attacked Shangqiu and captured prisoners, 80% are local displaced poor farmers.
In order to effectively improve the living conditions of these poor farmers, Yuan Su not only personally came forward to guarantee that all farmers with local household registration in Shangqiu will receive a permanent private land.
A portion of land that is leased. Part of the land resources allocated are ownerless land, part of it is land confiscated from the fleeing landlord, and part of it is land donated through negotiation with the landlord.
All farmers will register and report to local aid stations within a time limit, and the size of the land will be divided according to family size. All divided land will be immediately issued a title deed by the government, and a batch of agricultural tools and crop seeds will be leased by the government to help farmers start production immediately
Operation.
Whether it is farm tools and crop seeds leased to local people, or land leased to non-local people, all rents are signed in the cheapest way. At the same time, in order to stabilize and restore the social order of Shangqiu as soon as possible, the people's government also specially in accordance with the
On Yuan Su's orders, he announced the exemption of agricultural taxes for two years and the reduction of industrial and commercial taxes for two years.
Reducing and reducing tax burdens not only directly brings policy benefits to ordinary people, but also gives capitalism an opportunity for phased development. In a sense, it is also a way to alleviate the contradiction between capitalists and workers.
As for giving benefits to workers while ignoring the interests of the bourgeoisie.
With the policy of benefiting the people, Yuan Su also did not forget to uphold the laws and regulations. Whether it was the rescue station plan or some policies for allocating land, it required a huge investment in manpower and statistics. The larger the statistics, the more
The more holes there are for fraud. At the same time, the security problems in various places in Shangqiu after the war are also worrying, so we must use both kindness and power to ensure order.
Under Yuan Su's instruction, the Shangqiu people promulgated the legal text of "Seventeen Chapters of the Law of the Daizhengfu". The text is divided into seventeen chapters, including civil, criminal, and military laws and regulations. Mainly
It is used to target illegal activities such as making trouble, defrauding government welfare, committing fraud, deceiving superiors and inferiors, disrupting public safety, etc. All the regulations included in the text are all heavy fines and severe punishments, ranging from hard labor to severe ones.
Shooting.
As soon as the "Seventeen Chapters of the Code of Dai Zhengfu" came out, it spread throughout Shangqiu in just a few days, causing quite a shock. Although many people in the legal system think that this code text is too harsh, but
There are also many people who believe that this young governor from central yang is determined to take action. No matter whether it is too harsh or not, as long as it can be effective, it is not a bad thing for the ordinary people who abide by the law.
In addition to the above administrative work, Yuan Su has also been busy sorting out relationships and solving recruitment and surrender issues in the past few days. As early as the last day of the month, he sent a message to b fu
An ambiguous reply, expressing neither approval nor objection, only stated that all matters in Henan Province would be decided by the Governor Zhang Zhenfang.
The day after this telegram was sent to Shangqiu, the Kaifeng Governor's Office finally lost patience and sent a special person to Shangqiu to question Yuan Su face to face about Zhou Baolin's detention. The person sent was none other than
Zhang Zhenfang's adjutant Cheng Shichang and the deputy commander of the 17th Division Li Qian. Cheng Shichang thought that he was here specifically to deal with Zhou Baolin's matter, but Li Qian obviously had other agendas.
Li Qian led the troops of the 58th and 59th regiments into Shangqiu City and stationed themselves in several vacant barracks in Suiyang and the east of Suihe River, as if they wanted to stay there permanently. No need.
Guess, Yuan Su also knew very well that Li Qian was ordered to take over Shangqiu from the Third Brigade.
He didn't know whether Zhang Zhenfang had no intention of letting the Third Brigade be stationed in Shangqiu from the beginning, or whether Zhang Zhenfang was offended because he refused to hand over Zhou Baolin, so much so that he wanted to burn bridges across the river in anger? In his impression, Zhang Zhenfang was a
I am a conservative person at heart, so I should pay more attention to the concept of family obedience. What's more, a child of an unlearned and unskilled family can become the governor of a province, all because of Yuan Shikai's promotion. How can the other party dare to treat Yuan's family?
The disciple turned against him so blatantly?
No matter what the reason was, Yuan Su spent a lot of effort to capture Shangqiu, and during this period he formulated a detailed aftermath plan. Everything was in order. How could he give up at this time without getting anything? He secretly thought
Thinking in his mind, he must express his position with the strongest attitude. He expected that no matter how stubborn Zhang Zhenfang was, he would not dare to take action against the third brigade.
You must know that the entire Henan Province currently has only one central army, the Third Brigade, and the eyes of the whole country are focused here. He is now acting arrogantly by threatening his "number", and he will never ignore the impact on his reputation in the future.
So after hearing that Li Qian and Cheng Shichang had entered the city, he did not go to meet them immediately, but delayed it for a day. During this delayed day, he sent several telegrams, one to the 14th
Division, one is to bei jing, the other is to Kaifeng, and the last one is to Huaibei.
The message to the 14th Division had no substantive meaning, it was just to sort out the relationship here. In the message, he mentioned that he would truthfully report to Bei Jing the achievements of the 14th Division in recapturing Shangqiu, and requested that the 14th Division
The Fourth Division withdrew from Shangqiu territory and returned to its original station.
In the message sent to bei jing again, he not only reiterated the significance of recruiting Zhou Baolin and reported in detail the significance of regaining Shangqiu, but also mentioned the violations of laws and disciplines that occurred during the attack on Shangqiu. Especially the violations of laws and regulations.
In the report on disorderly conduct, he gave a very detailed account, listing all the crimes one by one, the number of victims and the reactions of the people. He also summarized the outbreak of such large-scale civil unrest in Henan, saying, "The government forced
"And for" has a considerable component. If we want long-term peace and stability, we must start from the root of the problem.
As for the message sent to Kaifeng, it was not sent to Zhang Zhenfang. On the contrary, it was to invite the leaders of the remaining three regiments of the 17th Division to go to Shangqiu as soon as possible on the grounds of reward based on merit.
The message sent to Huaibei continued to allocate supplies from Huaibei according to the previous plan. However, this time the deployment was not civilian supplies, but a large amount of arms reserves. The reason for the deployment of arms reserves was on the surface to pretend to be prepared.
The appearance of a long-term battle also implies that Li Qian's 3rd Brigade of the 17th Division will not give up Shangqiu.
On March 1st, Yuan Su held a banquet at the newly opened "Donglin Wine Pavilion" in the old city in the north of Shangqiu to entertain Li Qian, Cheng Shichang and the heads of the five regiments of the 17th Division. In addition to the fifty who entered the city with Li Qian
In addition to the two captains of the Eighth Regiment and the Fifty-ninth Regiment, the remaining three captains hurriedly rode from Kaifeng to Shangqiu after receiving the telegram. When they heard about merit and rewards, they naturally couldn't be slower.
Furthermore, it is the nephew of the president who is hosting a banquet. No matter how busy he is, he must give him such a face.
The banquet was scheduled for the evening, and at seven o'clock in the afternoon, someone went to the place where Li Qian, Cheng Shichang and others were staying to greet them.
Yuan Su and the officers of the Third Brigade arrived early to greet them. Cheng Shichang and Li Qian arrived together. It didn't take long for all the officers of the 17th Division to arrive one after another. Under the laughter and laughter, everyone came from the first floor to the second floor.
In the main banquet hall, more than ten tables have been arranged. Yuan Su's adjutant Du Yu is responsible for greeting everyone to sit down. The main table is naturally Yuan Su, Cheng Shichang, Li Qian and the officers of the division and brigade. As for the 17th Division's
The regimental headquarters officers and the regimental headquarters officers of the third brigade are listed at other tables according to their military rank.
Before the official banquet, Cheng Shichang and Li Qian chatted about serious matters with Yuan Su, first about the issue of Zhou Baolin. This matter was delayed for almost six or seven days. Kaifeng Governor's Mansion
They were already impatient over there.
"Mr. Yuan, Master Zhang naturally thinks that you and Mr. Yuan are the same family, so he is so patient. To tell you the truth, I have followed Governor Zhang for so long, and I know very well the temper of Governor Zhang. If it were different
Others are afraid that they will come to investigate in person the next day. Why bother, for a unruly citizen who has done evil?" Cheng Shichang said seriously.

So I may finish this book ahead of schedule. I hope all of you in the past will not give up and continue to support me. Thank you, thank you.】dd
