Although the doubts in his heart have been solved, it does not mean that Xu Jie has a way to solve this crisis, in fact, from the bottom of his heart, Xu Jie wishes that the two factions of the emperor and queen would quickly merge, and then Beiyang would clean up the mess. It's a simple idea, but it's cumbersome to implement.

From the inside of Beiyang, the nominal boss is still Li Hongzhang, although the strength of the various mountains in Beiyang is no longer weaker than Li Hongzhang's Zhili, but nominally Li Hongzhang is still a banner that gathers people's hearts, plus he is in Zhili, if he does not make up his mind to take decisive measures, then this center will not be able to fall for a while! So convincing Li Hongzhang will be the first task, but as far as Xu Jie is concerned, this is not a big problem, after all, even Zhang Peilun has been completely disappointed in this dynasty, in this case, Li Hongzhang should know that even if he opposes it, the other ministries of the Beiyang system will do it. After weighing it, Xu Jie believes that Li Hongzhang will make the right choice.

Secondly, after the integration of Beiyang, what should be done to other powerful factions in the Qing State? Beiyang is naturally the most powerful of them, but it does not mean that other forces can be ignored, such as Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong. For example, the governors and governors of Iktanga in the northeast and other places. What Xu Jie is afraid of is not that these people will trouble Beiyang during the war stage, as for Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong's scattered Hunan troops that have been disbanded, Beiyang naturally does not need to be afraid, and Yiketanga has already made his position clear with practical actions. The other governors and admirals were of little use because of their strength and position.

What Xu Jie is really worried about is. What should the new government do after the war is over? When you fight, you must have the final say with a big fist, but when you govern the country, you must take into account the interests of all parties. To be honest, there are also a lot of things that Xu Jie doesn't want to see in the Beiyang system. And even if Liu Mingchuan and others, who are consistent with Xu Jie in terms of strategic goals, still have differences with Xu Jie on certain things and the distribution of benefits, after all, as the boss of one party, he must seek benefits for the people below. Otherwise, no one will follow you.

And the problem Xu Jie faced was that after winning this war. The whole country must speed up the pace of construction, after all, after the successful construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. The new China will inevitably start another life-and-death war with Russia. The victor will reign in the Far East. Therefore, Xu Jie must unite all the forces of unity. In order to limit the influence of some bad things in the Beiyang, it is necessary for Xu Jie to use the Nanyang to remind certain people or things! - This world is a competitive world!

And the most important issue in the whole plan is the military problem, if Li Hongzhang agrees to do it, then how should Beiyang plan to destroy this decaying dynasty in a short time, and defeat the Russian invasion in the shortest possible time? According to the current situation, as time goes by, Yuan Shikai's strength will expand rapidly, and once it is strong to a certain extent, then the Northwest Training Army against Rong Lu can be described as destroying the ancient era. And this force is for Beiyang as a yellow finch. It's also very troublesome. So it must not be allowed to develop with peace of mind.

If you want to restrain Yuan Shikai, the best way is to let Cixi perceive this in advance. And have enough understanding of the dilemma you are going to face. If Cixi took the lead in attacking, not only would Yuan Shikai not have time to prepare, but even the Russians would be caught off guard, of course. Beiyang may also have no time to prepare. Therefore, Xu Jie had to find a way to limit Cixi's actions to the completion of Beiyang's preparations. It is necessary to be accurate when disclosing information.

The best case scenario is that when Yuan Shikai and Tsarist Russia are not ready, Cixi will take the lead. And Beiyang homeopathy will finally end the center! As for the Russians, if they choose to remain silent, that's fine, and if they want to take action, Xu Jie doesn't mind fighting a Sino-Japanese War. …,

Once the war began. Land warfare, naval warfare, politics, logistics and many other aspects of the matter may make Xu Jie busy, at least commanding the Beiyang Fleet is something that must not be thought about. Therefore, once the results of the Spanish-American War are separated, Yang Yonglin must come back, and the Beiyang Fleet still has to be commanded by a powerful person, with the proud achievements of the Spanish-American War, I am afraid that neither Liu Buyun nor Deng Shichang should be able to say anything, right? It is impossible to completely avoid the sabotage of the Russian fleet, so the purpose of the Beiyang Naval Division and the Foreign Marine Division is to exchange the tonnage of merchant ships for the tonnage of Russian warships in the shortest possible time, and gradually consume the Russian Far East Fleet!

As for the land, Xu Jie's goal is not only to hold the northeast, before the Trans-Siberian Railway is completed, when the Russians still have to divide their troops into Japan, the Russian army at this time can be described as a soft retreat. A single logistical constraint was enough to slow the Russians down. As long as the basic supply of materials can be guaranteed, the Beiyang Army is confident that it will block the Russians to the death, and will push it back at the right time.

In addition to the military, whether the Qing Dynasty was smoothly replaced was another important issue. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, how to establish a government recognized by the whole country in the shortest possible time was the most important issue. At the same time, because the potential of the Beiyang is in the eastern coastal area. Only Liu Bingzhang is in Sichuan. The control over the west is relatively low. Tibet is not afraid, the terrain is so precipitous, the British are allies, and they will not take advantage of the situation. After all, Britain still has to rely on the Beiyang to contain Russia, the key is Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia, these places border with Tsarist Russia, if with the support of Tsarist Russia, some people with ulterior motives are likely to use various contradictions to provoke incidents, maybe their scale is not large, but once they leave national hatred, it will be difficult to do!

Therefore, in response to this situation, Beiyang must concentrate on expanding a strong para-armed force and a group of political workers in the remaining year, who will enter Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia with the army, to stabilize the local situation, in line with three points of military and seven points of political assistance, mainly to pacify, but at the same time for those die-hards to resolutely crack down, and before the official launch of the incident, Beiyang must also send some agents in advance to lurk in the relevant areas, in order to prepare for future military operations.

As for the formation of the government? Xu Jie does not have a complete idea at present, Beiyang is in the lead, Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong are to be co-opted, as for the other forces, it depends on their attitude and performance in this incident, first set up a coalition government to stabilize the situation, and then slowly update and eliminate. It's impossible to do it all in one step!
