It has to be said that this telegram just caters to the new plan that Yuan Sucai made shortly. Since Bei Jing does not want the third brigade to participate in any military operations anymore, and the third brigade is actually unwilling to take any risks, if it can be passed
To disintegrate the Henan People's Army through recruitment and surrender is a good thing that has the best of both worlds.
Yuan Su is worried about not finding a suitable opportunity, because even if Zhou Baolin accepts the surrender, if the militia in the southwestern mountainous area is determined to resist to the end, Zhou Baolin will definitely not be able to persuade these people to surrender. So
This is something that requires opportunities from both sides to be accomplished.
Now He Fenglin has sent a message, informing him that the civilian army in the southwestern mountainous area is falling apart. As long as Zhou Baolin can be persuaded to surrender, the matter is obviously half done.
"Master Yuan, frankly speaking, you hope to test me through this recruitment, and I also hope to test you through this matter." Zhou Baolin said meaningfully.
"Really?" Yuan Su asked with a smile. In his opinion, he originally thought that Zhou Baolin would not agree to replace the government to recruit the militia in the mountainous areas of southern Henan. After all, there were still some risks in this matter. Even if Zhou Baolin himself didn't care
The so-called integrity, on the one hand, is that several militiamen in the mountainous areas of southern Henan used to be green forests in the rivers and lakes, and have no direct relationship with the Bailang Uprising. On the other hand, these green forests may not be really good at rivers and lakes, but they are very good.
Pay attention to face.
Once Zhou Baolin had a disagreement with these militiamen, he would most likely lose his life.
But he never expected that Zhou Baolin's answer, instead of revealing any objection, actually said that he was using this incident to "test" himself, which was really strange.
"If you sincerely want to make a difference, then this surrender is a great opportunity for you to set an example, Master Yuan. Master Yuan wants to use this surrender to test my determination and stance, and I also want to see
Let's see what Mr. Yuan will do after he surrenders." Zhou Baolin said calmly and calmly, as if he was an elder who was teaching earnestly.
"So that's it. You can rest assured that since I am determined to do something great in Henan and let the people in Henan and even more places realize that there are people who insist on reform in the Beiyang government, then I will definitely
To advance bravely, we must make even a small amount of achievements no matter what. I am not deliberately making excuses. What I say is the truth. Now, whether it is our internal situation in Beiyang or the domestic situation, it is the time when the undercurrent is surging.
, our generation goes against the current, and we also bear great risks." Yuan Su said deeply.
"I can understand what you said, but I will never accept the so-called achievement at all. When Mr. Yuan takes office, you must make progress without retreating. If Beiyang cannot accomplish what you said, Mr. Yuan,
With a reform, this world and this nation will inevitably become your enemies in Beiyang. I am not intimidating Mr. Yuan. I believe Mr. Yuan that you know better than me the current impression of Beiyang government in the hearts of the Chinese people. There is room for flexibility in the change.
If you don't change, you will perish." Zhou Baolin said with all his might.
Yuan Su somewhat disagreed with Zhou Baolin's words. In his opinion, Zhou Baolin's vision was still limited to Henan, or he was deeply influenced by the revolutionary thoughts of the south. That's why he felt that the entire north and south of China were now
He rejected the Beiyang government. He did admit that there were many unsatisfactory things about the Beiyang government, such as corruption, conservatism, corruption, rule of man ideas, etc. But after all, it was the first republic after the end of the feudal era, no matter who was in power
Writers, politicians, scholars and even the most grassroots officials all need a process of exploration, adjustment and improvement.
What's more, in his opinion, the north and south of China are not unanimous in rejecting the Beiyang government. Just like what was said before, many people have no idea what a president is, what a political system is, and what a republic is.
min zhu, so I don’t care at all whether Yuan Shikai or Sun Yat-sen is in power.
But even so, he did not correct Zhou Baolin's words. As long as Zhou Baolin can accept the surrender, during the period of following him, he will slowly understand the true face of this country and this government.
"I have to say that I am very pleased that you have such a passionate mind. No matter what your stance and means of action are, in my opinion there should be more passionate people like you in the country today, who are willing to use practical actions and unswerving
I will do my best for the progress of this country with faith. Since I am a pragmatic person, I will not make any empty promises, but in the future you will definitely be able to witness with your own eyes what we have done." Yuan Su said solemnly.
"Master Yuan, I will naturally be there to witness what you do. If Master Yuan is duplicitous and just wants to gain fame, I can tell you now that I, Zhou Baolin, and my subordinates will definitely rebel again." Zhou Baolin
He said with great momentum, his face and tone showed an unshakable tone.
Yuan Su secretly sighed: Zhou Baolin is really a straight person this week.
Although straight people can sometimes be stubborn and extreme, they are not without merit. In the history of China in the next few decades, it is precisely this kind of patriots with firm beliefs and passionate blood who will be needed in the swaying turbulence of the country.
Over the years, it has become a model that supports the Chinese people to persevere.
"Okay, I will definitely keep your words in mind. I believe you are a person who can distinguish right from wrong. With you by my side, I can always remind myself." Yuan Su said with the same momentum.
Zhou Baolin suddenly stood up, his expression was very solemn, and his body subconsciously stood up straight, showing a military demeanor. Seeing this scene, Yuan Su stood up involuntarily, also acting very solemn.
"In this case, I, Zhou Baolin, am willing to surrender to Governor Yuan. From now on, Zhou Baolin will definitely abide by all the provisions of the Central Military Commission, sever ties with the past, and am willing to contribute to the advancement of Beiyang's reform."
"Yuan admires Brother Zhou's righteousness. With Brother Zhou's help in the future, he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort." Yuan Su replied happily.
That night, Yuan Su set up a banquet in the courtyard of the Shangqiu Civil Affairs Office. He did not invite too many guests. Even the officials of the Civil Affairs Office stayed away. He only invited some senior officers from the Third Brigade.
Be present. The purpose of this banquet is, among other things, to solemnly introduce to everyone that Zhou Baolin has turned his back on the dark side and officially joined his subordinate Yuan Su.
The banquet didn't go on for a long time, and everyone just drank some wine. Except for Jiang Baili, who knew that Zhou Baolin had some strategies, so he still had some respect, the others didn't know much about Zhou Baolin, and they just
Just treat him as an ordinary civilian army leader. But even so, because Yuan Su and Jiang Baili treated Zhou Baolin very well, no one dared to neglect him.
After the banquet, Yuan Su temporarily arranged for Zhou Baolin to rest in the guest house of the Civil Affairs Office. Early the next morning, he went to the guest house in person to invite Zhou Baolin to the headquarters to discuss official business. However, the official business he first discussed with Zhou Baolin was not about the people of southern Henan.
The military recruitment was, on the contrary, a matter of reorganization of the old troops who were detained by Zhou Baolin in Shangqiu.
For this, Zhou Baolin was very grateful to Yuan Su. From this incident, he could see that Yuan Su was not a person who was eager for quick success, but was also a leader who could truly grasp the priorities of things.
There are only more than 200 people in Zhou Baolin's old army who are still in custody, so the reorganization is not too troublesome. After only a few hours, a preliminary draft was produced. According to Yuan Su's idea, his plan is to first
Zhou Baolin formed a regiment. The regiment's designation was temporarily assigned to the third brigade of the Central Army, and it was the du li regiment under the third brigade.
Of course, the Du Li regiment under the brigade-level combat organization sounds strange, but this is also because the three brigades under Yuan Su's current command are all Du Li organizations, and there is no higher-level command unit above them. Yuan Su's plan is
A corps will be formed as soon as possible in the future. It can be named the First Corps of the Central Yang Army or some other code-named corps. This corps is roughly equivalent to an "army" level establishment. At that time, Zhou Baolin's du li regiment can be directly formed by the "corps"
"Military Headquarters" is directly under the jurisdiction of the military headquarters.
