After everyone sat down one after another, because Wang Yingkai was the host, it was naturally Wang Yingkai who spoke first, so Wang Yingkai opened his mouth after sitting down: "Now everyone has to say all the gossip, and now it's time to talk about the purpose of this time, Brother Zhiquan, you and my nephew of the Youde clan are coming secretly this time, although the station between us is not too far, but this matter can't be delayed for too long, and it will change later, so now let's talk about the right thing!" ”

As soon as Wang Yingkai opened his mouth, he directly pointed out today's topic, and Wang Bin and Duan Qirui stopped grinding after listening to Wang Yingkai's words, and then Wang Bin retracted his relaxed look just now and immediately straightened his expression and said: "Uncle Wang invited the little nephew and Duan Tong to come this time, but what countermeasures do you have?" ”

This secret talk is actually to discuss how to deal with the imperial court to cut the military power of himself and others, and the root of his life has been moved, so this secret talk is really a last resort under the persecution of the imperial court.

To put it bluntly, this meeting is to want the three of them to temporarily unite to deal with the imperial court's move, you must know that the hands of these three people add up to the military strength of five towns, plus Wang Bin's patrol battalion in Fengtian and the reserve soldiers such as patrol police, I dare not say anything else, there is still an army of 100,000 people.

"The countermeasures from there, the current actions of the imperial court are too urgent, and this way to deal with the imperial court must be thought about together!"

When Wang Bin and Duan Qirui heard this, they co-authored Wang Yingkai and didn't come up with any way, this time it was just to let the three of them get together and think of a way to come out.

After finishing speaking, Wang Yingkai asked Duan Qirui: "Brother Zhiquan, you are stationed in Yongping Mansion as well as those of us stationed in Guannei, do you know what has happened recently?" ”

Duan Qirui and Wang Bin Wang Yingkai are different, Wang Bin and Wang Yingkai are both stationed in the Guannei, while Duan Qirui is stationed in the Yongping Mansion outside the Guan, and this Yongping Mansion belongs to Zhili, so a lot of news Duan Qirui must know before himself and others.

After listening to Wang Yingkai's words, Duan Qirui first took a deep breath before saying: "The situation in this pass is not as good as imagined, after Lord Yuan was removed, the minds of a group of people suddenly became active, what are we trying to be a soldier?" It's nothing more than trying to have a better backer, and then glorify the ancestors, but now that this backer has fallen, the rest of the people naturally have to think about their own money. ”

After saying this, Duan Qirui's expression looked a little angry, the more he was at such a critical juncture, the more he could see that the reason why the Beiyang family was so powerful was nothing more than relying on Yuan Shikai to support him, but as soon as Yuan Shikai fell, the rest of the people cared if they were Yuan Shikai's descendants.

So after the huge Beiyang showed its decline in Yuan Shikai, they all suddenly felt strange.

Immediately afterwards, Duan Qirui continued: "As soon as this adult fell, the commanders of the other towns all had different thoughts, and they all began to find a way back for themselves, especially Duan Zhigui, the villain, who couldn't wait to change his backer as soon as he was transferred, and after the establishment of the War Department, he directly handed over the military power to the War Department, and Feng Guozhang This person is also I, Duan Someone, I already knew that this person was unreliable, if it wasn't for the adults who gave him the opportunity to rise to the top, how could he have the current scenery, Now it's good that I have read too many books in the past, and I am full of loyal thoughts, and I have no resistance at all to seize his military power! ”

"It's good now, the big one is the only one left, and the three of us are left because they are relatively close to each other, and the strength is relatively large, and they haven't started yet, and the other towns are basically submissive to the imperial court."

Duan Qirui's words showed a trace of dissatisfaction, and he never expected that so many people would abandon Yuan Shikai just because of his temporary loss of power.

Although Wang Bin has heard of Duan Qirui's words for a long time, but it is far from being so shocking as Duan Qirui said in person, in Wang Bin's understanding, Yuan Shikai has a hand in winning people's hearts, otherwise there would not be so many people gathered under him, but what Wang Bin didn't expect is that in this era, people attach too much importance to the strength of the backer and the immediate benefits, so only a strong backer can ensure their future, since this backer has fallen, it is better to find another one.

This situation also taught Wang Bin a deep lesson: no matter when and where he has the military power in his hands, he must not lose it, nor can he remain subservient to anyone, otherwise Yuan Shikai's fate is likely to be his own end, and interests are always the criterion for connecting a force.

And Wang Yingkai also said after listening to Duan Qirui's words: "These actions of the imperial court are simply forcing us to death!" ”

The reason why this happened is that Yuan Shikai is too public, when he himself is already a very popular minister, he still has not forgotten to further control the new army and support his own power, so such Yuan Shikai will naturally be feared by the authorities, this is not knowing how to hide his fate, even if Yuan Shikai's original intention is to continue the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Yuan Shikai, who was a very popular minister, was first hit by Qingliu with the secret support of Cixi, pitted Yuan Shikai's new official reform, and then kicked Xu Shichang out of the center, and then used Yuan Shikai's eagerness to retaliate to quietly blow the limelight Qingliu again.

In this way, Yuan Shikai lost any precautions because of his fame, so the most powerful blow from Cixi appeared when Yuan Shikai was most relaxed.

Cixi directly formed the War Department and the Ministry of War and the Taifu Temple to control the army in the world, and Yuan Shikai was secretly sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and finally it was the power of Yuan Shikai who was directly strangled to turn the tables: Beiyang Six Towns.

Directly return the military power of the six towns of Beiyang to the Ministry of War, it can be said that as long as the imperial court goes down according to the pace of Cixi, the military power of the six towns of Beiyang will be completely collected, it can be said that the achievements of the efforts of the Beiyang series for many years will come to naught, and the bigwigs of the Beiyang series will either accept the treatment of the imperial court or be transferred to him, anyway, if they do not obey the imperial court and be loyal to the imperial court, many bigwigs of the Beiyang series will not have a good end, so Cixi's move is really to hit the weakness of the Beiyang family.

And the only one in this who can get a good death is estimated to be Wang Bin alone, after all, Wang Bin is one and the same outside the Guan, and the imperial court can't plant any forces outside the Guan, you must know that Wang Bin's military strength in the three towns is not put there to play, and in the end, the imperial court is nothing more than a compromise with Wang Bin to give Wang Bin the title of the governor of the three eastern provinces.

But just this name is not enough, in the face of such a somewhat chaotic situation, not to mention that even if he responds to the name of the governor of the three eastern provinces of the imperial court, in the end, the imperial court will be the first to suppress Wang Bin, so the current Wang Bin can't let the imperial court slow down and slowly take over the inheritance that originally belonged to Beiyang.
