After arriving in the evening, Wang Bin immediately found Ma Zikai, who was in charge of intelligence, and wanted to ask Lin Quanzhu what news he had gotten, and he had to make a statement so quickly.

After Ma Zikai came to Wang Bin's study, he immediately explained Wang Bin's question.

"My lord, according to what the staff learned from the intelligence point of Heian Province in the afternoon, the Japanese army has now secretly moved to Heian Province and has begun to assemble, so the department guesses whether Lin Quanzhu knows that their army is ready for war, so he wants to force the adults to make a statement."

After listening to Ma Zikai's words, Wang Bin suddenly said: "No wonder Lin Quanzhu, this old boy, wants this official to make a final statement, it seems that he knows that he will definitely not agree to cede the land around Tumen, and then the prepared Japanese army can immediately attack, and the official is not in a hurry, but it is a good calculation." ”

"My lord, since this is the case, let's not do it endlessly, and just strike first!" Ma Zikai said to Wang Bin with some ferocity.

"No, then everything is not in my official's plan."

As he spoke, Wang Bin took out a map from the bookshelf in the study, which was the current deployment of his army.

On the map, Wang Bin's army had already used two weeks to deploy in the area of Jiulian City.

The first, second and second towns of the Standing Army and the third town of the Beiyang Army were arranged in Jiulian City, and the fifth town of the Beiyang Army was arranged in the area of Tang Station behind Jiulian City, which could support the direction of Jiulian City at any time.

The standing army of 12 and 2 towns arranged in the direction of Jiulian City is currently relying on the city wall of Jiulian City to arrange a defense line, and a patrol of 3,000 people is also arranged on the flank, and Duan Qirui's third town is stationed in the city.

It can support the places that need support at any time, and the total strength of the Nine Links City has reached nearly 50,000 at this moment.

"What the official wants is not to strike first, but to let the Japanese in."

"My lord, this ......" Ma Zikai showed some doubts.

"Okay, now that the official knows why Lin Quanzhu is so tough, you don't need to take care of the rest, by the way, there is one more thing that the official wants you to do now........." Wang Bin secretly commanded Ma Zikai.

One night is enough time for Wang Bin to do a lot of things.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Lin Quanzhu arrived at Wang Bin's mansion on time, and met Wang Bin who was ready in the living room.

Lin Quanzhu saw Wang Bin sitting in the living room, and he immediately sat down and said to Wang Bin: "Lord Governor, the time of the night has passed, I don't know what Lord Governor thinks?" ”

After Lin Quanzhu asked, Wang Bin did not answer Lin Quanzhu's question but talked about another topic.

"Your Excellency, I have a question and ask Your Excellency the Minister to answer it for my officer."

"Oh? I wonder if the Governor has any questions that I need answered? ”

"Then the official will not talk much nonsense, the official wants to know what agreement your country has reached with this Minister of War Tie Liang, and he has tried his best to deal with this official, and even secretly arranged the military strength of two divisions in Ping'an Road?"

As soon as Wang Bin's words came out, it suddenly fell into Lin Quanzhu's mind like a thunderbolt, although Lin Quanzhu was shocked after listening to Wang Bin's words, Lin Quanzhu, as a diplomat, still pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"I don't know what you mean, Lord Doge."

"Okay, since Your Excellency the Minister knows this, there must be evidence, otherwise how could the official put forward this, the official just wants to know what price he Tieliang has paid to make your country so excited, say it to the official, maybe the official will come up with better conditions than Tieliang."

Wang Bin said slowly to Lin Quanzhu.

Now judging from the situation, Wang Bin has completely grasped the initiative, and Lin Quanzhu is only passively answering Wang Bin's question after being pointed out by Wang Bin with the biggest secret.

It can be said that now Lin Quanzhu's psychological defense line has been partially broken by Wang Bin, so the whole person belongs to a relatively muddy state, especially after hearing Wang Bin say that he can provide the same conditions as Tie Liang, Lin Quanzhu no longer cares about Tie Liang, and directly talks about the transaction between Tie Liang and the empire.

After finishing speaking, Lin Quanzhu also looked at Wang Bin and said.

"Lord Governor, as long as you can reach the same terms with us as Tieliang, it will be a simple matter for the Empire to withdraw its troops."

In Lin Quanzhu's view, Wang Bin must have chosen his own life in war and survival, so he told the agreement he reached with Tie Liang.

Once Wang Bin is willing to agree to the conditions, he will get Benxi without any military oppression, and his status in the country will inevitably be improved.

After Lin Quanzhu finished speaking, Wang Bin didn't answer, but just said to the back of the living room: "Reporters, you can come out." ”

As soon as the words fell, a group of reporters appeared from the back of the living room, surrounded Lin Quanzhu and Wang Bin, and began to ask questions one by one, and all the questions of these reporters were concentrated in what Lin Quanzhu had just said.

At this moment, Lin Quanzhu finally knew that he was calculated by Wang Bin, and he calculated very deeply, even if the imperial army defeated Wang Bin's army this time, his political career would have come to an end.

While these reporters were chattering, Wang Bin shouted a few times and then said to Lin Quanzhu, who was in a panic: "Your Excellency, since you have invaded the land around Tumen, has your country not considered the origin of this official? ”

"Now the officer tells you that the officer came out of the barracks, and you have forgotten that there is such an army here, and his name is Beiyang."

"This name may often be overlooked by you, but today I want to tell you: Your Excellency, the army has always played a role in protecting the territory and the people, and the war has actually begun from the moment you occupy our land."

Wang Bin's words were so loud that these reporters suddenly realized that there was an army called Beiyang in China.

At this moment, Lin Quanzhu, who was like a clown, looked at Wang Bin and showed a lot of expressions, and Wang Bin saw a wave of anger from it.

Then Lin Quanzhu said fiercely to Wang Bin: "Your Excellency Governor, very good, since your country wants to go to war, then our country will accompany you, who will have the last laugh is not certain!" After finishing speaking, Lin Quanzhu pushed away the reporters surrounding him and left Wang Bin's mansion.

In the afternoon of the same day, many newspapers rushed out a new newspaper, which pointed out throughout the newspaper that the imperial court and the Japanese colluded to betray national interests to attack Wang Bin, the governor of the three eastern provinces, and the imperial court was disgraced for a while, but these were not the most important, the most important thing was Wang Bin's sentence: There is an army called Beiyang here.

Since then, many ordinary people have begun to realize that their country still has an army called Beiyang, and Wang Bin's name has reached the highest point of prestige.

After the news spread all over the north and south of the river, Wang Yingkai, the minister of Beiyang, also expressed his support for Wang Bin, announcing that from now on Beiyang would declare war against Japan.

As for Tie Liang's fate, a decree came out in the palace the next day, taking away Tie Liang's position as Minister of War and demoting him to a commoner, and Yi Liang temporarily acted as the War Department.

And these are not the most important, the most important thing is that on the eve of the Sino-Japanese war, there is an army called Beiyang, and the phrase spread all over the country. (To be continued.) )
