In fact, although Wang Bin had long expected that Yuan Shikai would be cut off part of his power by Cixi, Wang Bin did not expect this matter to come so quickly, and there was no time for Wang Bin to deal with it slowly, in Wang Bin's heart, according to the original history, there are still two years before Yuan Shikai was transferred from the position of Minister of Beiyang, and in Wang Bin's opinion, the buffer time of these two years is already enough for him to digest Fengtian, and then there will be enough time to deal with this matter.

But the development of events was so unexpected, there was not even a two-year buffer time, and even when the news of Yuan Shikai's suppression had not yet appeared, Yuan Shikai was suppressed like this.

For Wang Bin, the current Fengtian is in the golden age of vigorous development, and this turmoil in the court has to put all his attention on this matter, this turmoil and the appearance of the War Department indicate that the imperial court began to extend its hand to the military power of the Beiyang army, and wanted to control the Beiyang army immediately, but it was not easy for the court to control the new Beiyang army.

In these years, the army under his command is the guarantee of strength, how can the imperial court agree to the control of these towns if he wants to get involved in the army under his command, let alone Wang Bin, Wang Bin's subordinates have fully trained the military strength of three towns, how can the army that he has worked so hard to train be handed over to the imperial court for no reason?

So a counterattack from Beiyang began to brew.

As early as after the news about Yuan Shikai being stripped of his authority came out, Wang Yingkai, who was far away in Shanhaiguan, began to look for a way to solve the problem.

The reputation of Shanhaiguan is known to anyone, Shanhaiguan has always had the reputation of "the world's first Xiongguan", of course, this reputation is not to say that it is a joke, the strategic position of Shanhaiguan has been highlighted as early as ancient times, and the importance of Shanhaiguan has been irreplaceable until modern times.

In ancient times, Shanhaiguan became a strategic place because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, in ancient times, Shanhaiguan was the only way to enter the Central Plains, with the natural barrier of mountains and seas, coupled with the city wall, so Shanhaiguan was simply a good place that was easy to attack and difficult to attack, and in modern times, the importance of Shanhaiguan has not weakened.

One of them is the west end of the Liaoning West Corridor, located between the mountains and the sea, is the best passage to enter the customs outside the customs, whether you go out of the customs or enter the customs Shanhaiguan is the only channel, and the second is that the current railway inside and outside the customs is also through the Shanhaiguan, so the two factors of convenient transportation and the only passage in and out of the customs are enough to make the Shanhaiguan show incomparably important.

In the face of such an important pass, the Beiyang New Army has always stationed troops here, and has built fortifications here for many years, and Shanhaiguan has long become an iron turtle for so many years.

Especially at the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War, in order to ensure the safety of Shanhaiguan, Yuan Shikai dispatched Wang Yingkai's second town to settle in Shanhaiguan, and then successively sent cavalry and artillery to strengthen the defense of Shanhaiguan, and Duan Qirui's sixth town was also stationed in Yongping Mansion, not far from Shanhaiguan, after the completion of the training.

It can be said that because of the Russo-Japanese War, Yuan Shikai hoarded heavy troops in Yongping Mansion, and even after the end of the war, these troops showed no signs of mobilization.

After Wang Bin received Wang Yingkai's invitation, he came to Shanhaiguan non-stop, and it was already evening when he arrived at Shanhaiguan, but now although Wang Bin arrived at Shanhaiguan, he didn't have the mind to take a look at the world's first Xiongguan, and there was no need to see the training situation of Wang Yingkai's second town, only Wang Bin himself knew what he was thinking about now.

The one who came to receive it was Wang Yingkai himself, Wang Bin only showed some smiles after seeing Wang Yingkai, you must know that in the past few days, because of the reason why the imperial court has moved to the Beiyang system, Wang Bin has always been a look, which makes the people below a little puzzled.

"Uncle Wang, let your old man come to greet Youde in person, Youde really doesn't dare to be!"

Wang Bin said to Wang Yingkai with some modesty.

"What don't you dare to be, our Wang clan is currently the largest official in you, and the ability is also strong, and the general Sheng Jing who has just been in office for a year has quietly engaged in a Fengtian standing army, which is said to others General Sheng Jing is the nephew of the old man, and the old man's face is also a little light!" Wang Yingkai said happily.

Now this imperial court is suppressing the Beiyang first line, although all the Beiyang first series are suppressing, but Wang Bin and himself dare not go too far, this Wang Bin is first of all General Sheng Jing is a military attache from a product and a minister of Xinjiang, more importantly, Wang Bin has the military strength of three towns in his hands, plus Wang Yingkai's town, that is the army of four towns, so for Wang Bin and Wang Yingkai, the court still does not dare to act rashly.

After Wang Bin and Wang Yingkai communicated for a while, someone outside came to report that Duan Commander came to visit, Wang Bin and Wang Yingkai glanced at each other, and then stopped talking, and after a while, Qirui's figure appeared outside the gate.

As soon as Duan Qirui entered the door, a hearty voice came: "Brother Shaochen, have I ever been late?" ”

"Brother Zhiquan came just in time, not bad for a moment." After Wang Yingkai finished speaking, he greeted Duan Qirui.

At this time, Wang Bin also walked up, but he didn't put any score of General Shengjing on Duan Qirui, although Wang Bin's official position and mastery have many troops, but today as long as they come to discuss countermeasures, not to engage in any contradictions, since everyone is here, they must be put on the same status.

When Wang Bin, Wang Yingkai and Duan Qirui got together, they naturally greeted each other first, and for a while, the three of them talked and laughed happily, and they didn't see any worries at all.

After this nonsense was finished, the three of them began to sit down around a round table, speaking of this round table, this round table was added by Wang Yingkai personally instructed to protect his eyes, mainly to avoid not knowing how to sit when sitting.

In the tradition of ancient times, there is a chief and a second seat when this person sits down, so once this person sits down, he will always score a chief and second seat!

But today's three people are not easy to divide, this according to the official position of the division has to be Wang Bin as the chief, according to the seniority in Beiyang, then it has to be Duan Qirui You must know that Duan Qirui has been in Beiyang for many years, but to divide according to age, Wang Yingkai has to be the chief, so no matter how it is divided, it is a little unfair, in order to prevent an unpleasant contradiction because of the problem of the chief secondary, so Wang Yingkai deliberately changed to this round table before this.

At the beginning, everyone in the province had a disagreement because of a small problem. (To be continued.) )
