Thank you for the tip. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After Zhou Fu and Ding Zhenduo established the Chinese Empire in the south and the Manchu imperial family, it gave a great shock to the north, and the south was originally seriously infiltrated by the Hui Party in Wang Bin's view, and it could be called the cradle of the revolution.
Although the Manchu imperial family still had prestige in the south, if it wanted to build up its own ******, it still had to spend a lot of time purging these Hui members.
But they didn't expect Zhou Fu and Ding Zhenduo to be so decisive, and directly took advantage of this chaos to carry out a major purge of their troops and purge the party elements.
Losing the new army that is close to him, the Hui Party will naturally become a worthless thing, in addition to Zhou Fu and Ding Zhenduo through this purge, all the officers loyal to the Manchu Qing have been installed in the army.
The atmosphere and training intensity of the army have also begun to be continuously improved, and they are no longer as lazy and lazy as usual, and there is no military discipline at all, and such an army can reluctantly suppress bandits and fight some small-scale wars.
After the general atmosphere of the army has changed drastically, the rise in combat effectiveness is inevitable, and it is not too difficult to find a few generals who can be used in the vast territory of the entire south.
For example, Zhang Xun, Jiang Guidi and others, although they are not top-notch talents, they can still lead troops to fight and train recruits, and the most important thing is to be loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Chinese Empire, the actions of the Qing court in the south were not small, and the 9th Town in Jiangning and the 19th Army Mixed Association stationed in Qingjiangpu were both arranged at the junction of Jiangsu Province and Shandong Province.
The 23rd Mixed Association, which was originally stationed in Suzhou, was deployed to defend Anhui to prevent Wang Bin from going south at any time.
In Anhui, Duanfang, as the governor of Liangjiang, arranged the 31st Mixed Association, and the 29th Mixed Association, which was withdrawn from Henan in time.
There is also the 27th Mixed Association in Jiangxi, which is also stationed in Hubei, and the 21st Mixed Association in Hubei and the Eighth Town of the Army to prevent Wang Bin from sending troops south from Henan.
From then on, from Hubei to Anhui and then to Jiangsu, the Manchus stationed enough troops to prevent Wang Bin from moving south.
Similarly, after preventing Wang Bin from deploying to the south, the governors of the south increased the speed of the formation and training of the new army, and were ready for the Northern Expedition at any time under Zhou Fu's proposal.
At this moment, the land of China suddenly surged, showing a somewhat chaotic situation.
After this series of moves from the south was transmitted back to the north, Wang Bin also faced the biggest difficulty for him.
Inside the Beijing Division, Wang Yingkai's mansion Wang Bin and Wang Yingkai sat in the living room together, looking at some of the information that Xiong Xiling and Ma Zikai had sorted out in the past few days.
In the data, there is a general record of the territory, the number of troops, and the money and silver that Wang Bin currently controls, and at the same time, many difficulties are pointed out.
The constitutional government in the north under Wang Bin now controls a total of three northeastern provinces, as well as the three provinces of Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan, and its territory has been fully doubled.
Although it is not a problem for Wang Bin to still want to expand the territory, there will be many big and small problems.
First of all, the three provinces that have just been taken, except for Shandong, because of the original influence of the Wang family, do not need to make some adjustments to officials.
For example, the two provinces of Henan and Shanxi chose to defect because they were completely intimidated by the soldiers, and the leading bodies of the entire provinces need to make a relatively big change in order to strengthen their control.
Once this began to adjust the official positions, there would be a lot of vacant positions, and these positions were all drawn from some officials in the original three eastern provinces with Wang Bin's acquiescence.
If Wang Bin conquers one or two more provinces now, Wang Bin will have to face empty territory but no officials who can govern.
And it takes a certain amount of time to select officials, not only that, but some of the following grassroots officials also need to go through a certain amount of training, and now take over Zhili, Shandong, and Shanxi.
The reserve officials of the three eastern provinces have already been withdrawn, and if there is more territory, there will be no reserve officials to be dispatched.
It will take at least three or four months before we can train another batch of qualified reserve officials.
As for the rest, it is a reorganization of financial and military strength.
After taking the territory of the three provinces, he recorded the financial situation of the three provinces in a unified manner, and found that if all the money and silver were gathered together, it would be a full 100,600,000,000 taels of silver.
Of course, most of the silver came from the Manchu treasury, and some of the escaping ministers' mansions in Beijing were still being confiscated, and Wang Bin estimated that at least another 10 million taels could be made from this collection alone.
On the military side, the three towns that originally belonged to Beiyang were directly subordinate, and now in addition to Wang Yingkai's second town, the other two towns have begun to be gradually absorbed.
The mixed association between Shandong and Shanxi is also in the process of reorganization, and although the Beiyang Naval Division has been destroyed in terms of navy, how can the imperial court not have a navy.
After the collapse of the Beiyang Naval Division, the imperial court set up a naval cruiser fleet of the Qing Empire, which was accepted by Wang Bin except for a few ships that were taken away by the Manchu Qing Dynasty during the southern tour.
Among the warships that were taken over were four cruisers, seven gunboats, six torpedo boats, one gunboat, five transports, and one minelayer.
It can be said that the naval fleet left behind by the Manchu Qing Dynasty left Wang Bin with enough coastal defense foundation.
"Uncle Wang, what do you think of our side at the moment?"
After reading these materials, Wang Bin asked Wang Yingkai, in Wang Bin's opinion, Wang Yingkai has been an official for much longer than himself, and some problems that he can't pay attention to, maybe Wang Yingkai will be able to notice.
"What do you think?" After listening to Wang Bin's words, Wang Yingkai first took a sip of tea before speaking.
"There are some opinions on this, first of all, Youde, your desire to control is too strong, and it is not a good thing to have too strong a desire to control the territory you just conquered."
As soon as Wang Bin heard Wang Yingkai's words, he immediately had a burst of questions, and suddenly asked Wang Yingkai with some puzzlement.
"Uncle Wang, what do you mean by that?"
"Hehe, I don't mean anything else, it's just a reminder, I just won the territory of the three provinces, and I don't need to be in such a hurry to replace all the officials above with my own, so it seems a little rushed.
It will make the original officials look panicked, for fear that their official positions will be gone, so the old man suggested that it is better not to move these officials above, first receive all the large and small positions below into their hands, and then put the officials above in the air. ”
As soon as Wang Bin heard Wang Yingkai's words, he immediately understood a lot, people such as the governor took refuge in himself in order to keep his official position, and if he suddenly took him down, it would inevitably make other officials feel afraid.
For fear that he will be the next person to be removed from his official position, in such a situation, it is better not to leave these higher-level officials alone, and all the lower-level officials will be transferred and replaced with their own people.
Since the officials above feel relieved, they have also achieved their goal of complete control, the best of both worlds.
After being pointed out by Wang Yingkai about this shortcoming, Wang Bin immediately knew what he should do.
For officials like governors, there is no need to move for the time being, as long as he keeps his official position, there will be no resistance, anyway, his official position is retained, and it doesn't matter what adjustments he has to make to his official position below.
After a while, after he has completely controlled all the territory, he will find an excuse to take these governors down. (To be continued.) )
