"Oh, I have also read this newspaper. It was reported not only the day before yesterday but also yesterday. It is said that this incident has caused a great impact. Zhengzhou and Xuchang are very supportive of the strict rectification of discipline issues. Many gentry are
I wrote an article to comment on this matter." Wen Qin, standing aside, said.
"That's good. Killing eighteen people is to exchange their heads for the trust of our government." Yuan Su nodded slightly and said with a pleased expression on his face.
"It's a pity that we did a great thing, but it seemed that fu never believed in what we did below. So, how can we determine the great cause?" Jiang Baili smiled bitterly for a while and said in a sarcastic tone.
"Yes, this matter is indeed troublesome. Although Bei Jing did not blame us for executing the officers of the Seventeenth Division without authorization, the telegram came so quickly and appointed the Fourteenth Division to take over Shangqiu. It is clear that they are making a fuss about this matter.
.It’s really annoying.” Dai Fengxiang said with some annoyance.
He had been very dissatisfied with the Beiyang government earlier. If it hadn't been for Guo Wenyuan's repeated lobbying, he would never have gone north to serve. Now after this incident, he had to arouse his dissatisfaction again. Fortunately, the Zhongyang Army did indeed
Compared with other armies that are greedy for life and afraid of death and have no military discipline at all, they are somewhat promising.
"I have never had time to talk about this issue before. I invite you all to come here today, hoping to brainstorm and think of countermeasures. We have been in Shangqiu for a long time, but during this time we have also worked hard to manage and make wedding dresses for others.
It's the small one that ruins our overall strategic plan." Yuan Su said deeply. The greater dissatisfaction on the fu side will be even more disadvantageous when the time comes." Jiang Baili said analytically.
"The order from the central government only said that the garrison office should be set up in Shangqiu, but it did not say where our third brigade should move after the 14th Division took over Shangqiu. The call from the Army Ministry said that our third brigade should not be stationed in the future.
To take any military action without authorization, we only need to garrison in place. It's really strange. Could it be that the above meant that we should be stationed in Shangqiu with the 14th Division?" Wen Qin said thoughtfully. Fu's dissatisfaction,
In addition, the shooting of the officers of the 17th Division has spread now, which may have a good response among the people, but it will definitely have a big impact on other troops in Henan Province. Naturally, other troops do not want such a thing to happen to them.
body, so their attitude towards the Third Brigade is bound to be repulsive.
In other words, if the Third Brigade takes any inappropriate actions now, it will immediately arouse unanimous opposition from all departments in Henan Province, and it will inevitably be a big political accident.
Looking at the situation in Henan as a whole, the momentum of the civilian army has been weakening before, and the battle in Shangqiu will inevitably make it worse. According to the existing intelligence, from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, Bai Lang's troops had already weakened.
The movement to Shaanxi has begun, and by early February today, all the main troops may have entered Shaanxi.
Once the situation in Henan stabilizes, bei jing's policy towards Henan will inevitably change. This will be disadvantageous to the third brigade's foothold. Therefore, the top priority must be to properly handle the positioning of the third brigade in Henan, otherwise there will be no progress.
Shen, he will definitely suffer a huge political blow.
"It seems that this time is indeed difficult. Since both the Central Yang and Henan sides are wary of the sharpness of our Central Yang army, we can only choose to retreat now." After thinking silently for a while, Yuan Su suddenly spoke slowly. However, although what he said was very negative, his tone and expression when he spoke seemed very calm, as if he had other plans.
"Captain Yuan, what do you mean... we just let Shangqiu go?" Dai Fengxiang asked in confusion.
"There is nothing we can do about being tabooed by others. Although the superiors have not asked us to leave Shangqiu, it is obvious that there will be no benefit in staying here. We have already formed a relationship with the 17th Division, and there is no need to continue to quarrel with the 14th Division. There are also conflicts." Yuan Su said calmly, as if he had an epiphany.
"But... Governor Yuan, don't you really want to order a retreat? We have been working hard for a while, but in the end we all gave in?" Dai Fengxiang didn't understand, and was even a little anxious.
"We must give in, but if we take one step back, others will have to take two steps back, especially those who are against Bei Jing." Yuan Su suddenly raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said in a confident and murderous tone.
Jiang Baili, Dai Fengxiang, Wen Qin and others all stared at Yuan Su. Everyone had varying degrees of confusion. No one knew what Yuan Su was thinking. But looking at Yuan Su's expression, everyone present felt that Everyone also understands that Yuan Su will not really give up Shangqiu.
Yuan Su glanced at everyone, then picked up the newspaper that Jiang Baili had handed over before, shook it, and said slowly: "If we want to make progress by retreating, we must now make full use of the power of these public opinions."
Jiang Baili suddenly came to his senses, laughed loudly and said, "Captain Yuan is indeed a good strategist."
Dai Fengxiang did not react as quickly as Jiang Baili. He had no idea what Yuan Su meant, nor did he understand why Jiang Baili laughed suddenly. He quickly asked: "Captain, Mr. Jiang, what are your plans?"
Yuan Su glanced at Dai Fengxiang and ordered: "Brigadier Dai, you will inform me later and order the entire army of the third brigade to assemble and be ready to withdraw from Shangqiu and return to Huaibei. In addition, send a telegram to Kaifeng about this matter." , bei jing and the Fourteenth Division."
Dai Fengxiang frowned, looking more and more incomprehensible. But when he saw Yuan Su's calm look, he knew that there must be a meaning to this, so he didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Jiang Baili smiled and added: "Since the Fourteenth Division has been notified, we should simply send someone to Ningling County to inform the Seventeenth Division. It is best to stay at the Shangqiu Civil Affairs Office these days. Wouldn't it be better to make some preparations and hold a press conference or something like that to formally announce the third brigade's battle announcement to recapture Shangqiu, but in fact, we can make some insinuations?"
Yuan Su smiled and said: "Brother Baili is still thoughtful, so let's do it accordingly."
Dai Fengxiang and Wen Qin looked at each other, no one knew what they were planning.
