Once he stands on his own, he will have nothing to do with Beiyang in the future.

What's more, if after he became the general of Shengjing, Yuan Shikai thought that he didn't belong to Beiyang, and what should he do if he was under pressure from the imperial court in the future?

Besides, these three eastern provinces are going to set up governors in the future, and if they can't grab the position of governor at that time, but someone else from Beiyang will take the post of governor, what should they do?

So the current situation has completely disrupted Wang Bin's plan.

However, the current situation is good and bad for Wang Bin, but it is not the case for Zengqi.

From the year of Gengzi to the present, Zengqi's luck seems to have not been very good, Gengzi years were first scared to death by the Russians, and then signed the "Fengtian Temporary Regulations" with the Russians in a daze, which stipulates that the Russian army is stationed in Fengtian and other places, the Qing army in the province will be disbanded, and the general must obey the Russian "general manager".

It is precisely because of this that Zeng Qi was almost removed from his official position, and he was suppressed after going through a lot of relationships, and in the following years, Zeng Qi has always wanted to make some political achievements to save his political career, but there are no effective results.

For example, recruiting bandits, trying to create a new army outside the Guan, and trying to restore control over Mukden and the situation in Liaodong, all these efforts disappeared with the start of the Russo-Japanese War.

That's not all, after the Russo-Japanese War intensified, Zengqi also gave up the military dominance of the entire Guanwai, so that Wang Bin effortlessly took Liaoxi into his hands, not only that, but Zengqi also asked Wang Bin to send troops to protect him for his own safety.

Therefore, the current Zengqi is just a vain Shengjing general, every day is to help refugees and the like, and this relief of refugees is still proposed by Wang Bin first, so that Zengqi has nothing to do every day, and there is no merit for a long time, and the imperial court will naturally be a little dissatisfied with Zengqi.

Therefore, this is why Zhao Zengqi returned to Beijing to report on his work, but although he returned to Beijing to report on his work, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Zengqi has done nothing outside the customs in the past few years, and he is afraid that he will never serve as the general of Shengjing again.

In this regard, some well-intentioned people who had long peeped into the official position of General Sheng Jing began to act.

Of course, among these people, Wang Bin's strength is the greatest, because Wang Bin has spent a lot of money in order to get the official position of General Shengjing, and he took out a full 300,000 taels from his small treasury to bribe the powerful in the court.

Although those powerful people in the court have no power, they are more influential than others, if someone above the court proposes that they can take the post of General Shengjing, wouldn't it be a failure for these powerful people to intervene? Therefore, no matter how you say these 300,000 taels of silver, you can feed these magnates.

So at the beginning of January, Zengqi returned to the capital, and when he was leaving, he found that after he left, someone had to temporarily act as General Shengjing.

On the way, Zengqi passed through Jinzhou, and Wang Bin specially sent 30,000 taels of silver tickets as a thank you in order to express his gratitude for Zengqi's move.

As a result, Wang Bin also became the acting general Sheng Jing during the period when Zengqi returned to Beijing to report on his work.

After Zengqi returned to Beijing to report on his work, the competition for General Shengjing officially began, and Wang Bin's acting director was about to start exerting his strength.

After Zengqi returned to Beijing, Wang Bin immediately asked his cheap relative Wang Yingkai to do some activities for him, and Wang Yingkai did not disappoint Wang Bin, Wang Yingkai, who was far away in Shanhaiguan, was also a little surprised after getting Wang Bin's 300,000 taels of silver, but he didn't expect that Wang Bin had already collected so much silver after serving outside the customs for a year, and Wang Yingkai, who received the silver, went to the capital as soon as possible to make a relationship for Wang Bin.

After Zengqi returned to Beijing, although the competition for the official position of General Sheng Jing had not yet begun, everyone had already begun to compete in secret.

Now these people are waiting for the news of the imperial court's dismissal of Zengqi, but after half a month, the news that Zengqi is in office has come to everyone's surprise.

Ding, Dangye; Worry, mourning, the ancient "Ding worry", is the meaning of mourning.

Although the news of Zengqi Ding Wei came out beyond everyone's expectations, the resignation of Zengqi Ding Wei from the official position of General Shengjing has become a foregone conclusion, and for a while, there was endless debate in the court about the candidate for the new General Shengjing.

In these controversies, there are two main candidates for General Shengjing, one is Zhao Erxun and the other is Wang Bin.

The two parties chattered endlessly about the candidate, and even the support of some powerful people and Yuan Shikai and Yixuan could not suppress the people on the other side.

Yuan Shikai's intention to promote Wang Bin is very simple, the new general Shengjing must be able to control the situation outside the Guan, especially the situation in Mukden, especially now that the Russo-Japanese War is not decided, so this candidate needs to be cautious.

Therefore, in Yuan Shikai's opinion, Wang Bin is in charge of all the defense outside the Guan, and he is the most suitable candidate to become the general of Shengjing.

Once Wang Bin became the general of Shengjing, then Yuan Shikai could slowly promote the expansion of Fengtian into the sphere of influence of Beiyang, so supporting Wang Bin to become the general of Shengjing was extremely in line with Yuan Shikai's own interests and that of the Beiyang system.

And Yixuan's reason for supporting Wang Bin is also very simple, after Yixuan accepted Wang Bin's 100,000 taels of silver, he will naturally support this matter.

Just when Wang Bin and Zhao Erxun began to compete for the position of General Shengjing, a sudden external intervention made Wang Bin a foregone conclusion that he would become General Shengjing.

The U.S. minister, together with the Russian and Japanese ministers, sent a note to the Prime Minister's Yamen for National Affairs (later renamed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ranking first among the six ministries), believing that Wang Bin's appointment as General Shengjing was extremely in line with the current interests.

No one could have imagined that the American minister, together with the Russian and Japanese ministers, would submit such a note.

So in such a situation, Zhao Erxun's supporters were gone, and there was such a minister who supported Wang Bin to become the general of Shengjing, and the result was obvious, Wang Bin became the new general of Shengjing very easily.

The Americans support Wang Bin because they have reached an agreement with Wang Bin before, and the support of the Japanese minister and the Russian minister is also very simple, the current Russians, the Japanese and Wang Bin are still in the "honeymoon period", Wang Bin has been providing arms to both sides, once this Zhao Erxun takes office, it will not be good to cut off the arms deal between the two sides, so in order to ensure that there will be no problems in the arms deal, although the support of the Japanese and Russian sides for Wang Bin is unexpected, but it is also reasonable.
