In January 1949, Fu Zuoyi, then the supreme commander of the Nationalist Army in North China, gathered all cadres at or above the division level and publicly announced his decision to revolt. When the adjutant read the agreement word by word, the senior officers in the audience were in an uproar, and for a moment everyone fell silent. Those who supported it naturally breathed a sigh of relief and did not say a word; while those who opposed it, although dissatisfied, did not dare to protest loudly in this place. But the silence lasted only half a minute. Li Wen was the first to slap the table and stand up and scold, claiming that this was a complete apostasy and that he would not carry out such a decision; then Shi Jue and Yuan Pu also stood up and expressed their opposition and could not accept such an agreement. The three then left the table in anger. Of course, the opposition of these three people cannot change the overall situation in North China. At that time, everyone was not stingy, why did these 3 people dare to oppose it in public? How did they end up?
First, let's take a look at Li Wen, the most powerful of the three. Li Wen was named commander of the 4th Corps, and his actual power and the strength of the troops in his hands were more than that. How powerful was this man at the time? At the beginning of 49, it can be seen that the entire North China Suppression Army was divided into two, and about half of the troops were the Suijun system, that is, the troops led by Fu Zuoyi; the other 200,000 people were the Central Army troops that had a gap with the Suijun, and the strength of the two was about equal. Although Li Wen was not nominally the supreme commander of this part of the Central Army, the central army strength of the 4th Corps and the 9th Corps, totaling 8 armies, were all subordinate to him, and it can be said that they had controlled most of the central military power near Peiping. Obviously, such a person would not be in league with Fu Zuoyi, the commander of the Sui Army, and at this time, Fu himself made the order to give up Peiping, which undoubtedly buried Li Wen's troops and military power, and Li Wen's interests were damaged, and he felt very dissatisfied, and publicly expressed strong protest.
The second strongest is Shi Jue. Shi Jue was the commander of the Ninth Corps of the Nationalist Army in 1949. At that time, the ace 9 Corps (Liao Corps) in the northeast had just been destroyed, and the 5 corps under Shi Jue inherited the name of the old 9 Corps, which showed that the Nationalist Army attached great importance to the North China Corps, and the 9 Corps had 2 more corps than Li Wen's 4 Corps, reaching a scale of 120,000 people, making it the strongest combat unit of the Central Army in North China.
It is precisely because Shi Jue is the backbone general of the central department that he has some so-called "loyalty" to the top level of the nationalist army. On the day of Fu Zuoyi's meeting, the only one of the three people who opposed the uprising, the "Weeping General", was Shi Jue. At the meeting, while crying, he said that he could not stand the headmaster, and many of the generals present were more emotional about his actions. If Li Wen was more angry because of the loss of military power, Shi Jue was mainly because of the factor of foolishness.
The last was Yuan Pu, commander of the 16th Army. His status was much lower than the above two, Li Wen and Shi Jue were both commanders of the Nationalist Corps, and Yuan Pu's 16th Army belonged to the Beiping City Defense Sequence, with more than 20,000 horses. This unit is also an authentic central army unit. Yuan Pu was a relatively stubborn person, who easily refused to bow his head, and seeing that the two commanders had made their position clear, he immediately followed the trend and opposed the uprising.
Since the troops in Fu Zuoyi's hands were not all of his lineage, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the entire uprising, he did not restrict the freedom of the three people, saying that as long as they agreed to hand over their troops, they were allowed to leave Beiping on their own to find a way out. The three of them could not take away the troops of the Concubines, so they immediately flew out of Beiping by themselves and re-took up their posts in the Southern Nationalist Army to take charge of the new troops. Later, Levin was completely surrounded in the Southwest Campaign. Forced by the situation, he pretended to surrender, but once again took the opportunity to escape and return to Taiwan. Shi Jue and Yuan Pu both withdrew directly to Taiwan in 1949 with a large army, and all three of them later died in Taiwan.
