"Dad, how many soldiers do we have now?" After returning to Wu's mansion, Wu Xingquan and Wu Haoxuan, father and son, were very excited. Now that the whole country has been electrified, we are waiting for Yuan Shikai's reaction. Suffice it to say, the plan is already halfway there.

However, in the future, to push Wu Xingquan to the position of military and political governor of a province, we need to continue to work hard. The most important thing is to have enough troops in hand, which is the capital to survive.

"I have only 10 battalions under my command, with a total of more than 5,000 people. Last night I got some prisoners, about six thousand! Wu Xingquan said. His official position was the commander-in-chief of the Fengtian Road Patrol Battalion, commanding about one-fifth of the entire Mukden army. Because Mukden is the largest and strongest of the three northeastern provinces, Mukden also has the largest army. Compared with Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, there are only more than 10,000 people.

"It's still not enough! Lao Yuan promised to give us the establishment of a new army in four towns. According to the establishment of the new army, we must have more than 12,500 people. In addition, we have to fight for territory, and more than 10,000 people are the minimum guarantee! Wu Haoxuan frowned.

"Fighting for territory? Where to fight for turf? Wu Xingquan was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought about these questions.

"Daddy! You don't want to stay in Mukden, do you? How is this possible? Wu Haoxuan was completely speechless.

"What's so bad about staying in Mukden?" As soon as Wu Xingquan's words came out, he suddenly figured it out. There are only three provinces in the Northeast, plus a Rehe. Mukden is naturally the best, with the largest population and the strongest economy. However, this also makes the Mukden Society an object of contention. Ma, Wu, Feng, and Zhang are probably all eager to stay in Mukden. In this case, there will be a contradiction. When the time comes, not only will the brotherhood turn against each other, but they will also fight each other.

Wu Xingquan frowned, he didn't want to see such a thing. However, he also knew that many things were out of his control. Their brothers are all heroes, and no one will be willing to give up the fat of Fengtian. Especially Feng Linge and Zhang Yuting, they are even more ruthless. If you don't get it, you'll fight directly.

In such a situation, it is the best solution to abandon Mukden and seek other territories. After all, although the other provinces are not as good as Mukden, they can be regarded as having a lot of territory. If the opportunity is good, maybe you can develop better.

"Haoxuan, where is your Jianyi?" Wu Xingquan asked directly. After this son went to the United States for four years, he was like a different person, which made Wu Xingquan feel a little less like his son. However, this kind of change is undoubtedly developing for the better, and it is also what he is happy to see. Anyone has a plot to hope for Jackie Chan, and Wu Xingquan is undoubtedly the same.

"Dad, Fengtian will become the first choice of many people, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of competition at that time. Therefore, we directly gave up Fengtian, reorganized the troops as much as possible, and then went to Jilin to grab this territory from Fushun's hands! Wu Haoxuan said directly.

"Jilin? It's a good place! Wu Xingquan nodded.

Among the three northeastern provinces, Jilin is second only to Fengtian. The current Jilin Province is not the Jilin Province of later generations, and the entire east of the Nenjiang River is under the jurisdiction of Jilin Province. It is rich in resources and has a population of several million, which is enough to support the initial development. If a basic industrial system is established and some displaced people are collected from the Guannei, Jilin will certainly be able to develop.

"So, Dad, the priority we have before us now is to develop the army. Now there are a lot of homeless people inside and outside Shengjing City, and it is just right to recruit strong people from them. In any case, first imitate the establishment of the Beiyang New Army and reorganize the army of a town. As for armament, don't worry about it. This time I brought back a full division of infantry with weapons and equipment, not only to equip a town, but also to build a new type of army. After a month or two, when the reorganization of the troops is completed, we will march to Jilin, first occupy this territory, and then slowly develop. Wu Haoxuan said that this was a plan he had prepared a long time ago.

The reason why he chose Jilin was that on the one hand, he did not want to conflict with Zhang Yuting and others, and on the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of Jilin's rich mineral resources. In addition, Fengtian is close to the Guannei, if Yuan Shikai makes any moves, the first to be impacted is Fengtian. Let Zhang Yuting and them in front, that is undoubtedly the most advantageous.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say! Anyway, I'll leave the rest of my life to you to arrange! Wu Xingquan laughed, his son is capable, which is exactly what he is happy to see. He only has an only son like Wu Haoxuan, so he is naturally obedient to Wu Haoxuan.

"Haoxuan, originally I wanted you to join my army, but now it seems that you have your own plans!" Wu Xingquan sighed. He suddenly felt that his son had grown up completely.

"Dad, I've been in each for a few years, and I've systematically studied Western military affairs, so I naturally want to train my own army according to what I've learned. Besides, in the whole of China, there is still a big gap between Yuan Shikai's Beiyang New Army and the armies of the Western powers. Blindly copying the Beiyang New Army is not an option at all. After my army was successfully trained, my father's army was also reorganized in a new way! When the time comes, there will be no one in the entire Northeast who will be our opponent. Wu Haoxuan said arrogantly.

This era is a magnificent era. Although the entire country and nation are facing great changes that are rare in a thousand years, if we can seize the opportunity at this time, we will definitely be able to establish a career. Wu Haoxuan not only hopes to be famous in this era, but also hopes to completely change the fate of the country and the nation.

"Well, okay, just do as you say!" Regarding his son's request, Wu Xingquan can be said to be obedient. (Wu Xingquan in history is also such a figure, and he is very doting on his son.) However, in the end, a gentleman was cultivated)

The electrification of General Shengjing's mansion caused an uproar in the country. Originally, the governors everywhere were crusading against Yuan Shikai, and some radical ones were even ready to send troops into King Qin. It's just that Yuan Shikai's Beiyang New Army is too strong, so he doesn't dare to act.

However, under the upside-down shape of the whole country, a discordant sound suddenly appeared, which naturally made everyone look sideways. Originally, Yuan Shikai had become a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him. Now there are people who have come out to support him, which has undoubtedly caused a huge reversal in the rhetoric of the whole country!

No. 19, Xila Hutong, Wangfujing Street, Yanjing City, is the residence of Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang.

The clouds that had originally shrouded the mansion seemed to be blown away all at once, and the long-awaited laughter and laughter were already resounding inside.

Yuan Shikai looked very happy, and his fat face was full of smiles. As soon as the telegram of General Shengjing's mansion came out, he finally had supporters in the local area, and the one-sided public opinion also changed. Some of the guys who were originally grass on the wall have gradually changed their attitudes.

Although, the mainstream now is still to crusade against Yuan Shikai. However, Yuan Shikai believes that changes will soon occur. He mastered Yanjing, mastered the central power, and had the most powerful military force in the country. There is no one in the whole country who can compete with him, as long as he disintegrates the opponent step by step, he will soon be able to succeed.

"I really didn't expect that those guys with beards could really catch Zhao Erxun's guy. As soon as the telegram of the Shengjing General's Mansion came out, the situation in the entire country had changed fundamentally. I'm here to congratulate Kung Pao, I'm going to get my wish soon! Minister of Military Aircraft Xu Shichang smiled. He has always been Yuan Shikai's staunchest ally. Yuan Shikai reversed the situation and was about to win, which also represented the victory of the entire Beiyang group.

"Yes! I really didn't expect it. However, this finally solved our urgent need. There are not many people who really oppose us, except for those old guys, who can slowly figure it out! I believe that the situation will be calmed down in half a month as fast as it is or as slow as a month! Yuan Shikai looked very confident.

"My lord, Minister Zhu Erdian sent someone to inform him, saying that he has persuaded the minister that as long as Beiyang can guarantee the interests of all countries, they are willing to support us!" Tang Shaoyi also said.

"Haha, that's good news! Great things can be done! Yuan Shikai laughed, now, he has the support of foreigners, and he also has supporters in the local area, plus he controls the center, who else in the country can fight against him?

However, although Yuan Shikai is ambitious, he is also a cautious person, and he knows that he has to eat one bite after another. If you want to do it in one step, it is simply impossible, and it will lead to failure.

Yuan Shikai and his henchmen launched a conspiracy. From now on, the Beiyang Group will gradually take over the power of the entire country, and it will require a series of plans.

On August 1, 1905, Emperor Guangxu issued an edict appointing Yuan Shikai as the prime minister, with full responsibility for domestic government affairs. The original Military Aircraft Department was disbanded. As a minister of military aircraft, except for Yuan Shikai, the rest of the people were either put in prison or monitored.

Even Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi were placed under house arrest, and the princes and nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty naturally did not end well. Although Yuan Shikai didn't dare to kill them, there was no problem in restricting them.

Yuan Shikai, who became prime minister and the founder of the legation, believed that China could become a constitutional monarchy. And Yuan Shikai, the prime minister, is equivalent to the first prime minister.
