Chapter 157: Cixi's Hind Hand
As soon as Wang Bin finished speaking, someone below spoke: "My lord, is this preparation for us to be ready to go out of the customs." ”
After Wang Bin heard this, he looked down and saw that it was Ma Zikai who made his own suggestion, so Wang Bin followed Ma Zikai's words and said: "Yes, this official just wants you to prepare for going out of the customs, so as not to make insufficient preparations when you get it." ”
After saying this, Wang Binyou immediately said: "This Lord Yuan's assassination of the court will inevitably be extremely turbulent, in addition to the previous imperial court's suppression of my Beiyang family, now the news of Yuan Gong's assassination can be described as a fuse, the slightest carelessness will be ignited, especially at this time, as long as the imperial court is slightly mishandled, the anger accumulated by the Beiyang family in the past month because of the suppression will be ignited by this spark like a powder keg, and then the Jingshi will inevitably be chaotic. Therefore, this official asks you to prepare for the exit now. ”
Now Beiyang can be said to be on the verge of explosion, the first generals were suppressed by the imperial court, and all the military power was to be recovered, but this is nothing, only some resentment, dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai worked hard to train a new army for the imperial court, and after the training, the imperial court secretly stumbled so that although Yuan Shikai was promoted, but he had no name and no power, even so Yuan Shikai did not say anything.
These generals of the Beiyang garrison endured it, but when this latter thing happened, these generals of the Beiyang garrison were the only ones who couldn't bear it.
Yuan Shikai, the soul of Beiyang, was assassinated in Beijing, and the murderer has not been caught until now, in this era, it can be said that Beiyang has been deeply integrated with this era, and in this era, Yuan Shikai maintains the allegiance of the entire Beiyang, and the status of the generals of Beiyang comes from Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai is the guarantee of the interests and status of these generals.
Therefore, the current Yuan Shikai can be regarded as the pillar and soul of Beiyang, but now that this soul figure has been assassinated, these generals of the Beiyang garrison will naturally be a little impulsive.
Just as Wang Bin began to prepare for his own arrangement of his army, Gu Chen began to follow Wang Bin's words and asked, "My lord, since this is the case, I don't know what my subordinates and others should do when the time comes?" Gu Chen naturally asked this question.
"Well, now this official announces that from now on, all troops will enter a state of alert and be ready for war at any time, and the first town of the Fengtian Standing Army will be transferred from Fengtian on the same day and go to Jinzhou to garrison, and the fifth town stationed in Jinzhou will immediately go to Shanhaiguan to prepare for war, and in addition, two cavalry battalions will be drawn from the Fengtian Standing Army to garrison Shanhaiguan with the fifth town."
After Wang Bin's words were passed on, the Fengtian Standing Army and the Fifth Town immediately moved.
Just after the end of the meeting, Wang Bin left Ma Zikai alone, and at this moment, Ma Zikai was also a little confused about Wang Bin keeping him, and he didn't know why the adults left him alone.
But then Ma Zikai knew why, as early as when Wang Bin was looking at Ma Zikai's investigation of the situation of the beard outside the pass, he noticed Ma Zikai's talent in intelligence, but then he put the construction of the intelligence system behind him because of the busy problem of government affairs, and the most important thing was that Wang Bin did not have a need for intelligence at that time.
But this time is different, Wang Bin deeply feels the importance of intelligence to himself, if he has a little more understanding of Yuan Shikai's current situation, he will be able to arrange his next move according to the information he has obtained.
As soon as Ma Zikai heard that the adults wanted him to pick up his old business again, he naturally hurriedly agreed, and Ma Zikai thought that he still had a certain means in this intelligence collection.
Just after Yuan Shikai was assassinated, Cixi in the capital was summoning the Manchu ministers at this moment when they were all doing some small actions, Cixi looked at Yixuan, Tieliang and Duanfang below and said: "Now that the situation has developed to this point, I don't know if you guys have any thoughts now?" ”
As soon as Cixi's words fell, Duan Fang and the others said in unison: "Back to Lafayette and the ministers, the most important thing at present is to settle the generals who are ready to move in Beiyang, no matter what kind of scene it is in the end, only Beiyang can not be chaotic, once the Beiyang armies are in chaos, the consequences of Beiyang alone in Zhili are really unimaginable!" ”
"The mourning family also knows this truth, but it is not a simple matter to stabilize the current Beiyang, according to the mourning family, the new Beiyang army in various parts of the country is now ready to send troops!"
After Cixi finished speaking, Tie Liang continued Cixi's words and said: "Lafayette's current situation is not so serious, you must know that on the side of Zhili, there are two towns in Nanyang, and the new army of Nanyang can receive the command of the imperial court at any time, and Jingzhen is absolutely loyal to the royal family, and the original Yuan Shikai's generals Feng Guozhang and Duan Guizhi also expressed their sincerity to us at the first time, so Lafayette we still have a little advantage." ”
"What about Wang Shizhen's fourth town, you must know that Wang Shizhen's fourth town is currently stationed outside the Beijing Division!" Yixuan suddenly reminded at this time.
At present, Wang Shizhen's fourth town has not yet performed any performance, it can be said that as long as Wang Shizhen's support is won, then the number of troops in the current control of the imperial court in Zhili is the same as the number in the hands of Beiyang, even if the new army in Beiyang is really reversed, the imperial court will inevitably have no power to protect itself in a short period of time.
But at present, no one knows Wang Shizhen's attitude, and even if someone goes to visit Wang Shizhen, they are all refused.
At that moment, Tie Liang and others began to discuss the issue of how to appease Beiyang afterwards, Yiliang advocated appeasing Beiyang, after all, Yiliang and Beiyang still have a period of incense, Yiliang didn't want Beiyang to disappear like this, and Tieliang was determined to suppress Beiyang, as for Duanfang, he was making a peacemaker, and finally Cixi couldn't stand the discussion of these three people, and drove all three people out.
After Tie Liang and others were kicked out, Cixi didn't know what she was thinking about in the palace alone, and soon after Tie Liang and others left the palace, Cixi issued a series of wills, first issued an edict announcing the acceleration of the pace of constitutionalism, announcing that the constitution would be completed within two years, Cixi's move was very clear to appease those officials who were interested in constitutionalism, and in order to gain the support of the constitutionalists and appease public opinion, these are still the simplest.
In the end, these wills are aimed at the current chaos, these wills are all issued to the bigwigs of the Beiyang factions, when these wills about the Beiyang bigwigs are issued, Wang Bin knows that Beiyang is over, this once brilliant faction is really finished, I have to say that Cixi's move hit the weakness of many people, and the split of Beiyang is only a matter of time under this will.
