PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!

In ancient and modern times, the best way to win hearts and minds is to use interests, and when soldiers feel that it is better to follow you, they will naturally serve you.

There are many ways to get the loyalty of the soldiers: improve the food treatment of the soldiers, pay the military salaries to the officers themselves, and greet the soldiers from time to time.

In this way, the soldiers knew that Shangguan was very good to him, and he would naturally work for it, Yuan Shikai himself felt that his control over the Fifth Town was a little low, and now there was such an opportunity to let the soldiers know that their salaries were provided by themselves, and to deepen the soldiers' image of themselves, Yuan Shikai naturally would not give up.

It's a pity that Yuan Shikai's idea is good, but Wang Bin's Fifth Town does not issue military salaries like this, but the commanders of each battalion take the rosters of his soldiers to receive military salaries.

The roster of soldiers in the hands of the chief officer and the roster of soldiers in the hands of the education department will be compared and consistent, and the military pay will be paid according to the number of soldiers, and when the commander of each battalion goes back to pay the military salary, there will be a member of the gendarmerie to supervise it, and finally the military police will summarize the distribution of the general salary, and then the summary of the military pay will be reviewed by Wang Bin.

Therefore, it is impossible for Yuan Shikai to show himself well in front of the soldiers of the Fifth Town, and the subsequent payment of military salaries also verified this result.

Faced with the fact that it was the chief officer of the battalions who came to lead the salary on his behalf, Yuan Shikai's face still revealed some disappointment, he really didn't expect that the military salary distribution in the fifth town would be carried out in such a form.

However, even if he was a little disappointed, Yuan Shikai still waited for the people from the education department to verify the roster of soldiers, and personally distributed the monthly salaries of each battalion to the commanders of each battalion who came to receive the military salaries.

After the military salary was distributed, Wang Bin saw that it was getting late, so he said to Yuan Shikai: "My lord, you see that it is getting late, and the staff department has booked a table of banquets in Wancuilou in the city to catch the wind and wash the dust for the adults, and I hope that the adults will not dislike it." ”

As early as when he was inspecting the arsenal, Wang Bin ordered to go down and charter Wancuilou to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Yuan Shikai at night.

And the boss of Wancui Mansion immediately agreed when he heard that the ruler of the fifth town was going to entertain a big man in Wancui Building tonight.

And then emptied the restaurant, and for a while these diners were a little dissatisfied, but then one by one, after receiving the compensation for the expenses in Wancui Lou that day, and knowing that Wang Bin was going to charter Wancui Lou, these diners had no objections, and only the chef of Wancui Lou was preparing for the dinner in the evening.

After Wang Bin finished speaking, Yuan Shikai didn't know what he thought of when he was about to agree to Wang Bin's words, so he immediately rejected Wang Bin's proposal, and instead put forward the idea of eating with the soldiers in the barracks.

Wang Bin had no way to object to this, so he had to go to the canteen with Yuan Shikai and eat with the soldiers.

As for the dinner in Wancuilou, Wang Bin could only ask the guards to inform him that there was no need to hold it, but in order not to waste the meals that had already been prepared, Wang Bin also asked the guards to tell the boss of Wancuilou to directly entertain the civilians in the city, and the money was all counted on his head, so he regarded himself as having done a good deed today.

Eating in the cafeteria with Yuan Shikai, there was no bloody episode, such as a certain soldier coming up to accuse Wang Bin of robbing the people's daughters, and asking the adults to be the masters for being unkind to the officials, etc., in short, this dinner is quite normal and passed.

Moreover, this dinner was a lot more sumptuous because of the afternoon drill, not to mention that there was more meat in the soldier's meal today, and each soldier had a small bowl of meat.

After dinner, Wang Bin originally arranged for Yuan Shikai to stay in his house for one night and then see off Yuan Shikai tomorrow, the previous script was correct, but in the end, the script changed abruptly.

After Wang Bin sent Yuan Shikai to the bedroom, when he was about to leave, Yuan Shikai suddenly asked Wang Bin to stay, saying that he wanted to talk to Wang Bin.

After Yuan Shikai, who was shining in his eyes, looked at Wang Bin, Wang Bin's whole heart was like this: This Yuan Shikai won't be a, right? Why else would you look at me like that? There are no rumors that Yuan Shikai is a!

Just when Wang Bin was still maliciously speculating, Yuan Shikai spoke first: "Youde, since a few months ago, there have been rumors in the court, saying that you have been providing arms to both Japan and Russia in Jinzhou, and many people are discussing the truth of this matter, but the old man has suppressed this discussion, this time the old man wants to know if there is such a thing?" ”

Yuan Shikai suddenly brought up this matter, he must have already known something, so when Wang Bin saw Yuan Shikai ask like this, he didn't cover it up anymore, but said directly: "My lord, the ministry does have arms deals with the Japanese and the Russians. ”

"Oh? If you say it so directly, aren't you afraid that this official will be guilty of bullying you? ”

After Yuan Shikai saw Wang Bin admit it directly, he said with some surprise, he thought that Wang Bin would excuse himself one by one, but he didn't expect to admit it directly, which made Yuan Shikai a little surprised.

After listening to Yuan Shikai, Wang Bin replied: "If you want to join the Ministry of Employment, how can you ask if the Ministry sells arms?" ”

"You're a little calm." Yuan Shikai said with a smile after listening to Wang Bin's words.

For Yuan Shikai's previous words, although Wang Bin was a little shocked, but he was not panicked, if Yuan Shikai really wanted to participate in his own book, why did he have to go so far to ask himself if he had an arms deal with Japan and Russia, and a direct holy decree would not be over.

After Yuan Shikai finished speaking, he asked again: "This time, the official came to see why you want to conduct an arms deal with Japan and Russia?" ”

Yuan Shikai directly stated his purpose.

Faced with Yuan Shikai's question, Wang Bin said an unrelated topic: "The Ministry dares to ask such a question, the Japanese and Russian sides that are at war don't know which side will have no ambitions for our Qing court?" ”

"There is no ambition, I am afraid that this sentence will be said by the official, and you will not believe it!"

Facing Wang Bin's words, Yuan Shikai just replied.

"My lord, the Ministry of Duties also thinks so, no matter which side of Japan and Russia wants to say that it has no ambitions for our Qing Dynasty, it is impossible, so the Ministry of Duties will choose to provide arms to both sides."

As soon as Yuan Shikai finished speaking, Wang Bin knew that Yuan Shikai was also a smart person, and directly pointed out that both Japan and Russia were full of ambition for the Qing court.

Therefore, regarding the previous arms transaction, Wang Bin stated the purpose of his transaction.

As soon as Yuan Shikai heard Wang Bin say that it was because of the ambitions of both Japan and Russia, he chose to provide arms to the warring parties. In that case, you can tell me about the reason for the arms trade between Japan and Russia. “
