Chapter 33: Wooing

In the capital, Yuan Shikai was also concerned for a while after hearing about what kind of school Wang Bin had set up in the military camp in the past few days, after all, in his opinion, this Wang Bin was one of the few people in the Beiyang system who understood new tactics and could train soldiers.

So after hearing that Wang Bin had set up a school, he instructed the people below to hand over a copy of what he had said every day.

Yuan Shikai thought silently in his heart after seeing the construction method of the machine gun position and the infantry charge strategy written on this paper: This Wang Bin has a set of methods for fighting these battles, and it seems that he has made up his mind to train his troops well, and it is not the first person of my young generation in Beiyang, if everyone has such a talent as him, why worry that my Beiyang is not strong?

Yuan Shikai is not the only one who has such thoughts, and at this time, Zengqi, who is far away in Xinmin Mansion, also made the same evaluation as Yuan Shikai.

Zeng Qi was very concerned at the beginning when he heard that Wang Bin had built this school when he was training the new army, and when he saw Wang Bin's theory, although he said that he couldn't understand the meaning of the theory, but it looked like Zengqi felt so powerful, although he didn't understand it very well.

But this did not prevent him from wooing Wang Bin.

Since he was beaten by the Russians back then, he lost the entire northeast, not to mention that he also caused heavy losses to the imperial court, and the direct result was that his official position money was more than the word "acting".

You must know that now Japan and Russia are at war on their own borders, and what they are most afraid of now is that both Japan and Russia will go crazy that day, cross the Liao River and then wave their troops westward, and even if they save their lives, their political lives will come to an end.

This is mainly because Zengqi was really scared during the Gengzi years.

So in the past few years, he has been trying to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army in Fengtian Province, and he has been recruiting bandits in this territory in the early stage, such as some patrol battalions are the products of this situation, but since he heard that Wang Bin is quite good at training, he hit Wang Bin with the idea.

And it was this idea that he supported Wang Bin in reorganizing the old army outside the pass, so he supported Wang Bin's power to train troops outside the pass.

Still thinking that he is General Sheng Jing and Wang Bin's top boss, is this new army still under his own command after training?

But as time passed, he found that this new army was gradually moving closer to Wang Bin personally, and it was not until this time that Zeng Qi realized that since Wang Bin began to serve as the minister of military training outside the customs, he had never thought of wooing Wang Bin, which was really a big miscalculation.

So today, after looking at Wang Bin's tactical theory, he remembered to ask his housekeeper to invite Wang Bin to the mansion for a talk.

So at the end of March, Zengqi sent an invitation letter to Wang Bin, who was far away in Jinzhou, in which he warmly invited Wang Bin to go to the Shengjing General's Mansion for a banquet.

After Wang Bin received Zengqi's invitation letter, he didn't understand what Zengqi meant by inviting himself to the banquet at this juncture, you must know that the new army is still training, and the yarn factory is about to be completed, and this banquet has to go all the way to Xinming Mansion, but this Zengqi is still his top boss after all, and he can't help but give a face, but this Zengqi invites himself to the banquet, is it something to ask himself?

Here I have to say that although Wang Bin is a traverser, but Wang Bin himself has never touched politics, Wang Bin is still a rookie to politics, so Wang Bin has to ask his fox father.

And Wang Wu only mysteriously told Wang Bin that he didn't need to worry about anything when he went to Xinming Mansion this time, and there would be good things waiting for him, but he had to send a telegram to Yuan Shikai before he went.

Wang Bin muttered in his heart after listening to the old man's words: This old man is really, he knows what he will do when he goes to Xinming Mansion to Zengqi this time, but he doesn't tell himself, he just says that there is nothing bad, and he has to send a telegram to Yuan Shikai by himself, which is really mysterious.

It's just that I'm worried about whether I will be rumored to go to see Zengqi, but the old man said that it was a good thing, so he would go to the next banquet and send a telegram to Yuan Shikai before he went.

Zengqi's move is naturally a lot of good and good for Wang Bin, but there are also many disadvantages, first of all, how will Yuan Shikai think of this matter after accepting Zengqi's solicitation? Will you think that Wang Bin is looking for another owner to abandon Beiyang? Of course, all these doubts were based on the fact that Wang Bin did not send a telegram to Yuan Shikai.

Just when Wang Bin set off for Xinmin Mansion, Yuan Shikai, who was far away in the capital, also received a telegram sent by Wang Bin before leaving, which roughly said that he had received a warm invitation from Zengqi, and Zengqi was his top boss, so he sent this telegram before leaving to explain.

Yuan Shikai's first reaction after receiving the telegram was: It seems that there is a master behind this Wang Bin, this Wang Bin has always only trained soldiers to fight, and he doesn't know anything about political matters.

At this moment, Wang Bin still doesn't understand the purpose of this telegram, who made himself a political novice before, just watching the news broadcast every day, how can he understand politics!

This time Wang Bin went to Xinmin Mansion and was actually going to take the Guanwai Railway directly to Xinmin Mansion, but just before leaving, Wang Bin suddenly changed his mind.

This has never been out since he was stationed in Jinzhou, and now he can finally go around on the road to Xinmin, and he has read the map before leaving.

From Jinzhou to Xinmin is about 150 kilometers, this horseback riding in the past day or so of the effort to ride a little slower two days is more than enough, as for the route, I am ready to go from Jinzhou to Zhong'anbao first, and then move towards Xinmin after resting in Zhong'anbao.

As for the safety on the road, I am ready to take Sun Chuanfang with me, and then select 30 to 40 soldiers from this bandit detachment to accompany me, this bandit detachment has always been specifically responsible for the suppression of bandits, and is very good at fighting bandits, and the soldiers of this bandit detachment often suppress bandits, have rich combat experience, and are more suitable for dealing with emergencies than the soldiers in the barracks.

Even if you encounter bandits on the road, what is there to worry about?

Know that the thirty to forty soldiers you have with you are enough to defend against a hundred or so bandits who have never received any training.

So Wang Bin is not too worried about the safety issues along the way.

It's just that Wang Bin never expected that there would be an accident along the way, and this accident also brought him an opportunity.
