Just after the Russo-Japanese War heated up, Wang Bin once again saw his own opportunity.

When Japan and Russia come and go, the situation in the country never stops, although Wang Bin has never cared about the affairs of the court, but with the continuous promotion of the time of the Russo-Japanese War, the time began to point to the thirty-first year of Guangxu Wang Bin came to this era and officially had a year.

January 1, 1905, coincided with the twenty-sixth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, which was also the day of Gengzi in the year of Jiachen, but on this day, Wang Bin could not return to his hometown in Jinan Prefecture, and the situation outside the customs became more and more tense, so that Wang Bin did not have a trace of time to leave.

During this time, Wang Bin has been closely following the situation of the Russo-Japanese War, but then there are some resolutions about the imperial court, early January from the Beijing division came a news that Wang Bin was very concerned, due to the imperial court's dissatisfaction with the continuous deterioration of the situation in Fengtian, and the inaction of Zengqi, the imperial court is about to recall Zengqi back to Beijing to report on his work.

Because of Wang Bin's little butterfly wings, Zengqi was originally dismissed from the post of General Shengjing by the imperial court in the thirtieth year of Guangxu, but since Wang Bin knew that this was just a parallel time and space, he was not surprised by these things beyond what he knew.

That is to say, no matter whether the result of Zengqi's return to Beijing this time is to remove his official position or continue to come back or be transferred to other places, but during the period of Zengqi's departure, someone must be temporarily in charge of Fengtian's related affairs!

That is to say, during the period when Zengqi returned to Beijing to report on his work, there must be someone who temporarily took the position of General Shengjing and had full control over the relevant matters of Fengtian.

The imperial court suddenly said that Zengqi would return to Beijing to report on his work, which affected Guanwai a lot, which affected not only Zengqi himself, but also the situation in Fengtian.

Now because Zengqi's subordinates have nothing to do with the patrol battalion on the table, so now all defense-related matters outside the gate are dependent on the patrol battalion and the fifth town under Wang Bin, but the position of General Shengjing on Zengqi's head is the highest official position in the Fengtian region after all, and the general status is that of a feudal minister, even though some of the places managed by the current General Shengjing have become battlefields, but this does not prevent General Shengjing from being the official status of a feudal minister.

Since Wang Bin became the commander of the fifth town and the minister of military training outside the Guan, for Wang Bin, he has climbed to the top of the Beiyang New Army, so if Wang wants to be promoted in the next step, he must return to Beijing to serve as a squire, a scholar or enter the military training office, or he will be sent abroad to become the so-called feudal minister.

After Wang Bin became the commander of the fifth town, he was always thinking about where he would go if he was promoted, and after thinking about it, Wang Bin still felt that developing outside the customs was the best choice, so Wang Bin had always wanted to seek his next promotion to the position of General Shengjing, and for this point, Wang Bin had already made a secret move, just waiting for a suitable opportunity.

After all, the position of General Sheng Jing is a hot potato now, and not everyone wants to do it, so for Wang Bin, the competition for the position of General Sheng Jing is the least difficult.

In addition, Japan and Russia are now fighting on the border, and the most important thing outside the entire border is not reform or development, but to ensure the security of western Liaoning.

And who is responsible for the security of Liaoxi now? Naturally, it's Wang Bin.

The army under the control of Zengqi outside this pass is added up, not to mention how to say that there are 40,000 people, but there is no need to say what kind of goods these troops are, these chaotic troops can be directly ignored, these 40,000 people have not even received the most basic training, let alone any combat effectiveness, according to Wang Bin's estimation, whether the 40,000 troops under Zengqi can fight the four patrol battalions under his direct command is still an unknown question.

In this way, the entire defense outside the border is operated by Wang Bin, and as for Zengqi, the general of Shengjing, he is usually responsible for the following relief of refugees or something, and this military affairs will be directly delegated to Wang Bin.

So now that Zengqi has returned to Beijing to report on his work, once the imperial court chooses to transfer Zengqi away, and re-transfer a person to serve as General Shengjing, then he can only be a nominal General Shengjing.

Rather than this, it is better to directly appoint Wang Bin as the general of Shengjing, so that Wang Bin can rightfully control the situation outside the Guan.

And this is not only an opportunity for Wang Bin, but also an opportunity for Yuan Shikai.

For Wang Bin, this is an opportunity for him to directly become the minister of the feudal territory, and for Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang system, making Wang Bin the position of General Shengjing is to directly break the sphere of influence of Beiyang into the Guanwai, thereby expanding the influence of Beiyang.

Therefore, almost after the news of Zengqi's debriefing came from the Beijing Division, Yuan Shikai and Wang Yingkai also sent a telegram at the same time, asking Wang Bin to control the situation outside the customs during the period of Zengqi's debriefing, and at the same time to send people to Beijing for some activities.

The former is for the sake of Beiyang's interests, and the latter belongs to the pure concern of an elder.

Although Yuan Shikai will support Wang Bin to become the next general of Shengjing, but Yuan Shikai can't decide this matter in a word, so even with Yuan Shikai's support, but the money that should be spent can't be spent less, after all, one more person will speak for Wang Bin, and the possibility of Wang Bin becoming the general of Shengjing will be more.

Otherwise, how do you think those powerful people in the capital have wealth that rivals the wealth of the country?

So after Wang Bin received the telegrams from Yuan Shikai and Wang Yingkai, Wang Bin has been thinking about how to open a gap, and what kind of impact it will have to propose in the imperial court that he should let such a Han man serve as the general of Shengjing, which has always been held by Manchus.

After Wang Bin's thoughts, there is no doubt that once Wang Bin successfully assumes the post of General Shengjing, the government and the opposition will be more jealous of the Beiyang First Line, and at the same time, there may be a series of changes that he could not imagine.

There is also a more important point, is it a good thing or a bad thing for himself after becoming General Shengjing?

The advantage is that he can justifiably control the Guanwai, and then develop his own forces and establish his own base camp, the disadvantages are also extremely obvious.
