In 1911, the third year of the reign of the Xuantong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, a major uprising broke out in Wuchang, opening a new page in Chinese history. After more than half a year of fierce fighting, China saw a confrontation between the north and the south: the south proclaimed the Republic of China, while the north was still immersed in the rule of the Qing Empire. Although the Qing Empire was already in jeopardy, the Republic of China was also in financial trouble, and the two sides were in a state of stalemate, and the future direction was full of uncertainty.
One of the key characters in this history is Zhao Bingjun, whose life is legendary and amazing. Zhao Bingjun was born in 1859, at a time of turmoil in China, when the country was mired in internal and external troubles. More unfortunately, Zhao Bingjun lost his parents at a very young age and became an orphan. In this chaotic era, life is already difficult for young people, let alone orphans like Zhao Bingjun. However, he showed great tenacity and survivability, and through ingenuity and diligent study, he mastered some skills and gained the weight of local officials. Eventually, he was adopted by an official and became an official's attendant, an opportunity that opened the door for him to move forward.
Zhao Bingjun's life began to change dramatically, and he followed officials to join Zuo Zongtang's army and participated in the battles of the Southern Conquest and the Northern War. During the war, Zhao Bingjun showed wit and rigor, which won Zuo Zongtang's appreciation. Over time, he gradually accumulated his own capital, and was eventually taken in by Li Hongzhang and became his right-hand man. Although Zhao Bingjun had followed Zuo Zongtang, his origins were limited, and Li Hongzhang was a mentor and friend he expected. Therefore, Li Hongzhang also began to promote Zhao Bingjun, so that his position continued to rise.
However, corruption and internal and external troubles in the late Qing court led to the country's predicament. The Qing court officially activated Zhao Bingjun, allowing him to innovate China's modern police system, imitating the police system in Europe and the United States, which was an unprecedented move at the time. The establishment of this system marked the emergence of modern Chinese police, and Zhao Bingjun's status was also enhanced. His position rose under the attention of the Qing court, and he eventually became the chief of police in the capital.
However, by this time, the situation in the late Qing Dynasty was already turbulent. Through Zhao Bingjun's active intelligence work, Yuan Shikai mastered a large amount of intelligence information, thus gaining a head start in the officialdom. Yuan Shikai's ambitions grew by the day, and he wanted to seize more power. Zhao Bingjun became his right-hand man, using intelligence to provide great help to Yuan Shikai.
In the late Qing officialdom, the Beiyang Army was the military trump card, and the police department became Yuan Shikai's palm tool. With the resources of dual control of the military and police, Yuan Shikai actively sought greater power. Zhao Bingjun relied on the police agency to spy on the powerful people of the late Qing Dynasty and support Yuan Shikai through intelligence information. This allowed Yuan Shikai to take the lead in the late Qing officialdom.
In the end, Yuan Shikai succeeded in seizing the power of the great president and became the de facto ruler of the late Qing court. Behind all this, Zhao Bingjun's intelligence and intelligence work are indispensable. His tenacity and wisdom have left him a mark on Chinese history.
