Cixi's last decree was simple, which was to adjust some official positions. r?anwenｗ?ｗ?ｗ?．??

The first is Feng Guozhang and the Minister of the Army.

The second is that Wang Shizhen served as the governor of Zhili, and Wang Yingkai served as the minister of Beiyang.

Third, the imperial court officially agreed to the merger of the three eastern provinces, and added the post of governor of the three eastern provinces, and Wang Bin assumed the post of governor of the three eastern provinces, and the secretary of the military department, and the other was that Duan Qirui's third town was merged under the command of the governor of the three eastern provinces.

Fourth, Duan Guizhi was transferred to the Shandong Governor and the Soldier Department.

I have to say that Cixi was able to come up with a way to break the situation in such a time, Wang Bin is very impressed, and in all fairness, Wang Bin himself will not reach this point.

It can be said that these appointments of Cixi instantly broke the balance that Beiyang had worked so hard to maintain, but these were not over, and then the War Department issued an order to hand over all the original troops under the command of the War Department to the management of the War Department.

It can be said that this series of wills of Cixi directly broke the existing situation, and the pressure of the Beiyang family to face the imperial court was all useless under the will of Cixi, because it is not difficult to see from Cixi's will that Cixi is using the rift that does not exist to divide Beiyang.

Wang Shizhen, Wang Yingkai, Feng Guozhang, and Duan Qirui are all regarded as the backbone of Beiyang, originally when Yuan Shikai had not had an accident, these four people must have obeyed Yuan Shikai's orders, but now it is different, Yuan Shikai just had an accident, these people were still able to unite and avenge Yuan Shikai at the beginning.

It can be said that once Yuan Shikai died, these people would fight for the power of Beiyang, and Cixi also gave them the conditions to compete, so that all their official positions were promoted to the top, and if there was promotion, Wang Shizhen and Wang Yingkai became the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang respectively, and there will inevitably be contradictions between these two people, and Duan Qirui is still a small commander, so there will inevitably be contradictions between these old seniorities, so that the court has a lot of room for manipulation.

As soon as Yuan Shikai died, the competition for the position of the leader of Beiyang must be very fierce, and Cixi still wanted to successfully unify Beiyang after Cixi had such a hand, it was simply a fool's dream.

For example, Wang Shizhen and Wang Yingkai, who are both members of the Beiyang line, both want to unify Beiyang, but Wang Shizhen is the governor of Zhili and Wang Yingkai is the minister of Beiyang, how can the two command each other? If this can really be done, then Beiyang will not be as leaderless as it is now.

Even if in terms of taking a step back, Cixi's move has no effect on Wang Shizhen and others and does not play a role in sowing discord, but what the officers below think is not necessarily.

The reason why the officers below became soldiers was to be able to climb upward, and before Yuan Shikai met their needs, these lower-level officers offered their loyalty to Yuan Shikai, but now it is not necessarily, Cixi's will makes these lower-level officers continue to see the hope of climbing upward, so even if Wang Shizhen and others still want to confront the imperial court, the soldiers and officers below will not agree.

This is the interests, the naked interests, the Beiyang system was originally gathered together because of the huge interests, and now the imperial court has given greater benefits, how can they continue to serve this stormy Beiyang, the imperial court is their best target at present.

In this era, the first thing in front of most people is interests rather than what is called loyalty, so it is said that the interests are in front of the lower-ranking officers, and this will of Cixi is exactly in line with the actual interests of these lower-ranking officers.

Just after Cixi's decree was issued, the news of Yuan Shikai's death was officially spread, and such news would have to make some people wonder if Yuan Shikai's assassination had anything to do with the imperial court.

The news of Cixi's will and Yuan Shikai's death reached Wang Bin's ears one after another, and the first thing that reached Wang Bin's ears was that he became the governor of the three eastern provinces.

Now it is not only Wang Bin who is tempted, but also Wang Yingkai, Wang Shizhen, Feng Guozhang and others have also been tempted, so they all began to hesitate.

And when the news has not yet come, Wang Bin has been preparing for the exit, not only Wang Bin alone, Wang Yingkai and Duan Qirui are also making the same mobilization preparations, such preparations, especially after the news that Yuan Shikai's assassination is unknown, is extremely obvious.

Taking Wang Bin as an example, after learning the news, a military meeting was specially held to convene the main generals of each army to inform all the officers to prepare for entering the customs, and Wang Bin and some of the officers had almost made a battle plan for leaving the customs, but at this time, the imperial court agreed to establish the governor of the three eastern provinces, and Wang Bin served as the governor of the three eastern provinces.

After Wang Bin got the news, Wang Bin was much weaker in his mind about sending troops outside the customs, before Wang Bin proposed the restructuring when he proposed the merger of the three provinces, as long as he controlled the three eastern provinces, he only had to develop the three eastern provinces well, what does the chaos outside the customs have to do with himself, and wait until his wings in the three eastern provinces are full and then ready to go out of the customs This is the best plan that Wang Bin made at the beginning.

And now the method of restructuring the three provinces that Wang Bin has been expecting has finally been agreed by the imperial court, and he is the first governor of the three eastern provinces, so for a while Wang Bin feels very embarrassed about whether to go out of the customs, after all, once the Qing court is destroyed by going out of the customs, who should be respected when the government is formed?

If you don't go out, you will have enough time to develop the three eastern provinces, and now you will be the most powerful warlord in the country after a few years of development, even if the imperial court quells this Beiyang Rebellion and wants to suppress yourself, the imperial court is powerless.

First of all, the current economic situation in Fengtian has become self-sufficient, and there is no need for external capital input, and the capitalists in the north are all enveloped together by Wang Bin's interests, let alone suppress Wang Bin, not to mention that Wang Bin's relative Wang Yingkai is about to take up the post of Minister of Beiyang.

However, in the end, what made Wang Bin really make up his mind was the news of Yuan Shikai's death, as soon as Yuan Shikai died, the split of Beiyang was decided, and at this time, Wang Bin could not get any benefits from going out of the customs, and the split Beiyang did not have any interests at all, and it was the most correct to stop it in time at this time.

It's just a pity that Yuan Shikai is a person, and he has not completely exerted his ability to leave the world, although Yuan Shikai at this time has enough prestige and has made many favorable reforms, but Yuan Shikai, who has become the president, is the most brilliant Yuan Shikai, since Yuan Shikai, a dead man, can not become the president, then only I Wang Bin can sit in this position, Wang Bin thought silently in his heart.
