PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket support of the Long Aimeng brothers, after all, it is the first monthly pass of the book Tingfeng, and I would like to express my gratitude here.

After Wang Yingkai finished speaking, Duan Qirui also spoke: "Brother Shaochen, now that the imperial court is forcing us to death, we can't just watch and do nothing!" Duan Qirui's words expressed the worries in his heart.

Since the imperial court has already taken action, whether it is political means, direct suppression, or temptation, the imperial court always has a means, but whether they are currently obeying the imperial court, resisting or rebelling, they must first come up with a method.

"Brother Duan is right, since this court is ready to suppress us, we can't wait here, no matter what, we should get a charter and get through this crisis first." After Duan Qirui finished speaking, Wang Bin spoke again.

"There is some truth in what Youde said, there are many things in front of us now."

"Oh, what does Brother Shaochen think?" Duan Qirui listened to Wang Yingkai's words. Immediately asked.

"Now that the situation is so critical, the imperial court wants to do something to us, the first thing we have to protect ourselves, this self-protection also has to talk about some regulations, this first starts to fight against the imperial court, and then the army's salary and funding problems will bear the brunt, once the imperial court cuts off our military supply, this is not a joke, you have no money, even if the soldiers below will listen to your command for the time being, but these soldiers' loyalty to you can last for a few months?"

Wang Yingkai's words pointed out the most critical issue to the point.

After saying that, Wang Bin also nodded, for this issue of military expenditure, Wang Bin was deeply touched, especially after he raised the military strength of two more towns, which would have to be at least about three million military expenditures every year.

After Wang Yingkai finished speaking, not only Wang Bin agreed, Duan Qirui also expressed his approval, which is also deeply aware of the issue of military expenditure, Duan Qirui's third town just monthly military salary plus various expenses reached ** million taels of silver, not to mention that after the supply of military funds cut off by the imperial court, the military expenses on hand can still last for a few months.

"What Brother Shao Chen said is a tricky question, damn it, who knew that the imperial court would suddenly turn its face on me Beiyang, now it's good to catch us off guard directly, if it weren't for Brother Shao Chen's mention of military spending, maybe he would have walked into a big fire pit after he went back this time."

Duan Qirui, an intellectual who used to stay in Germany, was also a little confused for a while after listening to Wang Yingkai's words, he had been thinking about how to deal with the affairs of the imperial court before, and he really didn't think about this military spending matter, and now after being raised by Wang Yingkai, Duan Qirui was also a little emotional.

"Okay, now there are not many other words, how long can you pay for the military in your hand?"

Duan Qirui said after thinking for a moment: "Brother Shaochen, if you don't talk about this military spending matter, brother, I will really fall on this, brother, I estimate that there is still a surplus in the annual military expenditure since the establishment of my third town, but it is not much, and there is probably a surplus of more than 100,000 taels every year, judging from the current military expenditure of my third town, the surplus military expenditure in these years will be spent for another three or four months at most." ”

"Three or four months is really a little less, the situation in my fifth town is a little better, the military expenditure of my fifth town has increased since it was stationed in Shanhaiguan, and Lord Yuan has always directly transported half a year's military expenses, and the military expenses for the first half of the year were just delivered a month ago, in addition to the surplus over the years, not to mention the surplus of this million taels of military spending, if Brother Zhiquan's military spending is not enough, my Wang will still be able to share some profits."

Wang Yingkai said that he could share some military expenses to Duan Qirui, but even if these military expenses can last for the year, the time is not enough, you must know that now he has made up his mind to work with the imperial court to the end, and this daily military expenditure is enough for half a year, but once the situation is uncontrollable and the imperial court goes to war, how long can this money and silver ghost last?

Just when Wang Yingkai and Duan Qirui were still worried about the military spending issue, Wang Bin said: "Don't worry too much about this military spending problem, I, Fengtian, have more than 10 million taels of taxes this year, and if the investment in other aspects is reduced, I can still barely make up 4 million taels of silver." ”

As soon as Wang Bin's words came out, Wang Yingkai and Duan Qirui, who were still worried about military expenses here, suddenly stretched their brows, and Wang Yingkai slapped his thigh and said after listening to Wang Bin's words.

"How can you forget Youde, Youde, your kid is now sitting on the land of Fengtian Province as General Shengjing, and this annual tax alone can also raise a large army, now that you have Youde's tax support for a year, this biggest military expenditure problem will be solved, and the rest is how to deal with the imperial court."

"Why does Uncle Wang want to start a war with the imperial court?" Wang Bin asked with some doubts.

As soon as Wang Yingkai heard that Wang Bin's hands could be used to support four million taels of silver, the whole person was energetic, and even had confidence in how to deal with the imperial court.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Yingkai's words came out, Wang Bin grasped the implied meaning.

"Hmph, Brother Youde, according to me, Brother Shaochen's approach is right, the court has no longer given you a good face, why should I wait to give the court face again, saying that it sounds good is to deal with the court, and if it doesn't sound good, it is a rebellion, and besides, with the current situation, there are other ways besides rebellion?" Duan Qirui said a little sharply.

"That's right, Brother Zhiquan is right, the imperial court is forcing us to hand over the military power, we might as well wait for the opposite, after saying that you have a Jinzhou arsenal in your hands, even if there is a war, we don't need to worry about this arms problem."

Just when Wang Yingkai and Duan Qirui were still talking about the rebellion, Wang Bin's heart was attracted by the word rebellion, saying that although he was destined to embark on a road of hegemony in this era, he didn't expect that such a road would start with rebellion. Although it is said that it is a bit hasty, this opportunity must be grasped tightly.

Later, in order to successfully carry out this rebellion, Wang Bin opened his mouth and said to Wang Yingkai and Duan Qirui: "Although there is no shortage of arms and military expenses in this rebellion, we must prevent some additional variables from occurring at that time!" Now I don't know what to think of these two armies under my hands? (To be continued.) )
