This time, Wang Bin became the general of Shengjing, and the intervention of ministers from other countries was far from being expected by the princes of the imperial court, and after successfully becoming the general of Shengjing, these ministers also sent diplomats to congratulate them.

The reason why Japan and Russia supported Wang Bin was that they did not want the new General Shengjing sent by the Qing court to find out that Wang Bin had a deal with them, especially now that the war was in a state of white heat, and the demand for arms could not be mistaken in the slightest.

Therefore, Russia and Japan are extremely supportive of Wang Bin becoming the new general of Shengjing, after all, in their opinion, Wang Bin is an insatiable person, as long as he has money, he can say anything.

As for the Americans, they have reached some deals with Wang Bin before.

After the representatives of the ministers of the four countries came to Jinzhou, Wang Bin naturally gave a good reception, especially the representatives of the Russian ministers and the Japanese ministers, but the two countries are still at war, and they can't let the two make any trouble.

But fortunately, these two people didn't make any trouble, both of them were very calm, and after congratulating them, they went on to raise the topic of increasing the intensity of arms transactions, as soon as these two people raised this topic, Wang Bin immediately understood, co-authoring these two parties to support themselves purely to allow themselves to increase the volume of arms transactions, but who let these two countries really do themselves a great favor! As the saying goes, a good eater has a short mouth, and since he has a short hand, he also has to show something, so Wang Bin immediately said that he would increase the intensity of arms trading.

After the Japanese and Russian envoys left, Wang Bin had another exchange with the German ministers, and finally had a secret conversation with the US ministers.

This time, Wang Bin, the representative of the American minister, also had contact with him, and this person was Sheffield, who came to Sheffield this time to complete the agreement with Wang Bin.

Sheffield first spoke: "General Wang, I have come this time first to congratulate you on becoming a feudal minister, and secondly, you should do something about the agreement reached between our two sides." ”

For Sheffield's words, Wang Bin naturally knew what the agreement was.

So Wang Bin said tightly: "Mr. Sheffield, since this official has reached an agreement with you before, this official will naturally do it." ”

Previously, when Wang Bin was trading mortar technology with the Germans and Americans, the Germans traded with one of their own artillery technologies and Wang Bin, and the Americans were attracted by Wang Bin's proposal for another way of trading.

That is, Wang Bin needs to give himself the necessary help to the US minister when necessary, and the price of the help is to trade his own mortar-related technology.

And this time it's time for the deal to be done.

Therefore, Wang Bin did not delay Sheffield's request, since the deal had been reached, why make excuses, so Wang Bin very readily handed over the mortar-related technology to Sheffield.

Sheffield did not stop after getting this technology, but expressed his hope that he could have more friendly exchanges with Wang Bin in the future and left.

After Sheffield left, Wang Bin has been thinking about his future development plan, but whether it is the development of military affairs, the expansion of the new army in Fengtian, or the relief of refugees and the restoration of people's livelihood, it all requires a lot of money, especially the current military situation in Fengtian, the army that can fight is only Wang Bin's fifth town, but if you want to hold Liaoxi, how can you rely on a town under this hand?

So the topic of army expansion was brought up again, but where would Wang Bin have so much money in his hands, so in desperation, Wang Bin had no choice but to hand over a letter to the imperial court.

When Wang Bin's fold was handed over, the household department, the degree branch and Yuan Shikai were also very headaches, although the household department had money, but most of the money had to be supplied to all aspects, so this household department really couldn't draw much money and silver, and although Yuan Shikai had money and silver on his side, he couldn't give it all to Wang Bin, otherwise I don't know how many people would oppose it, so Yuan Shikai also had a headache.

However, although Yuan Shikai had a headache, he had a staff under him, so Xu Shichang gave Yuan Shikai such a plan: Let the southern provinces share the profits, the difficulties that the imperial court has, the many southern provinces always have some performance, as long as the adults propose to let the southern provinces share the profits, how much can they still squeeze out some money and silver in the name of the imperial court, and besides, the governor of the world is headed by Zhili, as long as the adult bleeds money and silver, will the other governors take out some money and silver?

Xu Shichang's words hit the nail on the head, Fengtian's finances are in trouble, and the imperial court has no extra money and silver, but many provinces in the south have money and silver, and the south is now mostly rich land, which will intercept some money and silver every year, and each province does not dare to say that it is not a problem to say five or six hundred thousand, as long as Yuan Shikai takes the lead in the name of the imperial court, the remaining many provinces in the south will not have some money and silver?

So soon Yuan Shikai came up with the charter under Xu Shichang's suggestion, and the household department paid 100,000, Zhili, Shandong, and Henan each contributed 300,000, so that Yuan Shikai gave Wang Bin 1 million taels of silver, this Yuan Shikai has already taken the lead in contributing, how can these other provinces not be embarrassed?

This million taels to Wang Bin feels different, there is still a big tree to lean on, he just opened his mouth and came with a million taels of money, if it wasn't for someone from the Beiyang family to serve as the general of Shengjing, Yuan Shikai would be weird if he would pay attention to him! It's already a good thing not to help.

After Yuan Shikai took out one million taels of silver, Wang Bin estimated that it would not be a problem for other provinces, especially the southern provinces, to set one or two million, and there should be three million at that time.

A few days later, the source of this money and silver began to be clear, and many provinces in the south still gave a little more money and silver for the sake of the imperial court, and with Beiyang to set an example, several other feudal ministers were embarrassed to give less.

Lake light

The land of the two rivers is the richest, and seeing that Yuan Shikai has made a million dollars and silver, these two places are embarrassed to give less, so they have the same amount of money and silver as Yuan Shikai: one million taels.

As for other places, they are all 50,000 or 100,000 yuan, and these provinces have to send a telegram to each province to express their gratitude after they have paid out the money, so after Wang Bin pulled down his face, Wang Bin finally got the money and silver given to him by the provinces, Wang Bin totaled the money and silver that Yuan Shikai gave himself, and this time he got a total of 3.29 million taels of money and silver, which is enough to do the current starting fee.
