The rebel army was huge, but Chen Hao was still watching from the sidelines, because he knew very well that this level of player participation could not change the plot. As he expected, the imperial court reacted quickly, ordering the patrol battalions of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangxi to enter Guangdong to participate in the suppression of the bandits, and at the same time recruit a large number of strangers to participate in the battle.

Nominally an order issued by the Qing court, in fact, the system is preventing the player from changing the story mission, and after the surrounding provinces of Guangdong send troops to suppress it, the rebel army has no advantage. Under the leadership of Xu Xueqiu, the rebel army fought all the way to the city of Guangzhou and besieged the city.

Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Liangguang, also had a patrol battalion of 8,000 people under his command, and after the imperial court granted him the task authority, he recruited a large number of Inhumans and gathered nearly 30,000 Inhuman troops. The rewards given by the imperial court when recruiting players to participate in the war were unusually rich, and it was impossible not to be tempted by the temptation, and 30,000 people joined the imperial army in Guangzhou City alone, and the rebel army did not have any advantage.

Players know that the rotten Manchu Qing will be overthrown, and are sympathetic to the revolutionary party, but always think that it is just a game. The Revolutionary Party can't give good rewards to the player, because the Revolutionary Party itself lacks guns and ammunition, and instead needs the player to support the armament. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was rotten, it was very generous to the player in the face of crisis, and it was not surprising that he chose to join the imperial court because he could get rich mission rewards while joining the revolutionary party, and if he failed, he would become a wanted criminal in the imperial court.

Not every player wants the revolutionary party to revolt as soon as possible, and there are quite a few players in the game who choose to believe in absolute monarchy, and a large number of players who choose to believe in a constitutional monarchy. The more the Manchus existed, the more benefits players who believed in absolute monarchy would get, so they wished that the revolutionary party would fail in the uprising.

Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Liangguang, ordered to defend the city of Guangzhou, and then waited for reinforcements from all provinces to arrive, and together with the reinforcements, he attacked the rebel army. The government of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangxi also sent a mission. There are also quite a few players who participate in the imperial army, and there are no less than 30,000 troops in each reinforcement. Now, although the rebel army is attacking the city very urgently, when the reinforcements enter the territory of Guangdong, the uprising will inevitably fail under the extremely disparity in strength.

Wang Laochuan stood in the barracks with a wry smile on his face, and he suddenly realized that he was thinking too naively, and the success of the revolutionary party in 1907 was completely impossible. When he first joined the rebel army, he was very active. Every time he led the player troops to act as a death squad, now he has no idea of working hard for the revolutionary party, if he is not worried about being blacklisted by the revolutionary party, he really wants to lead the player army to leave.

Revolutionary leaders Xu Xueqiu and He Ziyuan issued combat missions every day, and Wang Laochuan, as the head of the Third Inhuman Regiment, never received a single mission. When the player leads the troops to participate in the NPC army, the military orders are not so strict, and he does not take the initiative to receive the quest and the NPC will not convey the order to him, but his impression of him will change.

There are still a lot of talented people in the NPC of the Revolutionary Party. Wang Laoji wanted to make a good impression, and he didn't want to offend NPCs if possible. But he had to be passive and slack off, after the Huanggang Uprising troops and the Qinuhu Uprising troops converged, the NPC troops were only 20,000 people, and the player troops were about 40,000, and it was impossible to defeat the Guangzhou City defended by 40,000 people. The casualties in the siege battle were extremely heavy, and even if the player could be resurrected after death, Wang Laoji was reluctant to send his own men down.

Revolutionary leaders Xu Xueqiu, He Ziyuan, Deng Ziyu and others were the most anxious. They understand the situation they are facing, but there is no way back. Now they still have illusions. It is hoped that after the city of Guangzhou is conquered, all parts of the country will respond to the revolution. For this reason, they still insisted on attacking every day despite huge casualties, but unfortunately the attacking side always suffered, and it became more and more impossible for them to take Guangzhou City.

Chen Hao's sailor battalion did not participate in the defense of the city of Guangzhou, and he also privately sent 1,000 guns to the revolutionary party to show his support for the revolution. Sun Yat-sen had previously invited him to join the revolution when he refused. Xu Xueqiu and others also scolded him as a lackey of the imperial court, and now that the uprising was at an impasse, they found that Chen Hao's proposal not to revolt for the time being was very correct.

Chen Hao was busy with the affairs of the factory, and he sent people every day to inquire about the news of the uprising team, but there was no action. He decides to save the Revolutionary Party NPCs in the uprising team, many of whom have a skill. The more talents he has developed in his own base areas, the better.

For example, He Ziyuan, one of the leaders of the uprising, founded the Xingmin School with Qiu Fengjia, Xiao Huichang and other sages in 1903, and served as the first superintendent; In the winter of 1904, he founded the Shima Primary School and served as the chairman of the board of directors; In 1906, he founded Xingning County Middle School with Xiao Huichang and others, and was the founder of the first batch of demonstration high schools in China, Xingning No. 1 Middle School, Xingmin Middle School and Shima Central Primary School, a famous school in eastern Guangdong, and the founder of modern education in China, a pioneer in Meizhou's cultural and educational circles, and a pioneer of Xingning New School. If he could be subdued, it would be fitting to appoint him head of the Department of Education when his desire to occupy a province was fulfilled.

There is also Xu Xueqiu, the supreme leader of the uprising, who is good friends with the members of the "triad" for his righteousness and wealth, and has the title of "Little Mengwei" on the rivers and lakes. If Xu Xueqiu is subdued, he will be able to win the support of the Hui Party in Guangdong in the future, and after Wang Yaqiao establishes an intelligence department, it is very necessary to establish good relations with the Hui Party.

Xu Xueqiu and the two are also veterans of the revolutionary party, He Ziyuan is the first batch of members of the League, and Xu Xueqiu joined the League very early. Even if you can't subdue them, it is necessary to have a good relationship, in essence, Chen Hao is no different from the players who participated in the uprising, they all want to recruit well-known NPCs. It's just that players like Wang Laochuan chose to participate in the uprising, while Chen Hao chose to wait and see, ready to take action when the rebel troops fell into despair, and get the remaining uprising NPCs in one fell swoop.

After the arrival of reinforcements from the provinces of the imperial court, the failure of the uprising was inevitable. Players who participated in the uprising are thinking that they are ready to save a group of valuable NPCs and then hire them to save some well-known NPCs when the uprising forces are facing a huge crisis, so as to get a group of excellent men.

When the reinforcements from Guangxi entered Guangdong, Chen Hao began to act, he put on makeup and went to the rebel army to meet Xu Xueqiu and He Ziyuan. These two NPCs were anxious, and they were overjoyed when they learned that Chen Hao had come to visit, and immediately ordered their subordinates to take Chen Hao to the command room for a meeting.

Although Chen Hao did not participate in the revolution, as the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division, he had the ability to transfer the rebel troops, and Xu Xueqiu and the others hoped that he could help. Chen Hao walked into the command room of the rebel army, and Xu Xueqiu and the two were still busy writing and drawing on paper, arranging tomorrow's siege operations.

Chen Hao smiled slightly and said, "The two commanders are still busy!" It doesn't seem like I'm coming at the right time. ”

Xu Xueqiu smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a matter of obeying the destiny of heaven!" The reinforcements of the imperial court have already entered the territory of Guangdong, and the rebel troops will be cornered without defeating the city of Guangzhou. ”

Chen Hao shook his head and said, "Commander Xu thinks that with the strength of the current army, he can take Guangzhou City?" Besides, even if the city of Guangzhou is defeated, how long can the righteous army hold out in the face of several encirclements and suppressions by the imperial army? ”

He Ziyuan, who was standing next to Xu Xueqiu, pushed his glasses and muttered: "We also know that there is no hope, the revolution cannot be bloodless, we are ready to die, but it is a pity that more than 10,000 revolutionary comrades are buried like this." Brother Chen, although you are a senior official of the imperial court, I believe that you have no ill will towards us, I wonder if you can help us? ”

Chen Hao said curiously: "What kind of help does Commander He need from me?" ”

Seeing that Chen Hao did not refuse, He Ziyuan said excitedly: "We will arrange a small number of troops to continue the feint, and the large army will quietly move in the direction of the dock, and then Brother Cheng will send warships to help us transfer the troops to Zhejiang." The Liberation Society has already started an incident in Zhejiang, and if our troops join forces with the troops of the Liberation Society, we will certainly be able to open up a new world in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. ”

Historically, Qiu Jin was arrested because of Xu Xilin's Anqing Uprising, and after Chen Hao subdued Xu Xilin, the Guangfuhui still launched an uprising in Zhejiang. Speaking of which, the Guangfuhui uprising is also related to Chen Hao, and the Huanggang uprising planned by the alliance was quite powerful in the early stage because it was not suppressed by the water division, and even the players couldn't help but waver, not to mention those NPCs who were bent on revolution.

Not long after the Huanggang Uprising, Qiu Jin, Tao Chengzhang and others also launched an uprising in Zhejiang, but unfortunately there were not many responders. Listening to He Ziyuan's words, Chen Hao shook his head categorically and said: "Commander He, don't count on Zhejiang, I have already received news before I came, the imperial court has ordered the 12,000 patrol battalions in Shanghai to enter and suppress the Guangfuhui rebels, and it will be a failure before I can transport you to Zhejiang." ”

"Moreover, I have always believed that the time is not yet ripe for revolution, that it is difficult to succeed by relying only on the party, and that it is possible to succeed only by recruiting revolutionary comrades in the new-style army. If I transfer the troops for you as Commander Ho said, then my intention to participate in the revolution will also be exposed, and it will have a great impact on my own revolutionary plans, so I cannot agree to this request. ”

He Ziyuan sighed in disappointment, and after being silent for a long time, he asked, "What is Brother Chen's plan?" ”

"Accumulate a lot." Chen Hao said confidently: "I will first use my status as a court official to accumulate strength, and when the time is ripe, it is better to grasp it than to revolt hastily." ”

Xu Xueqiu was a little anxious, and he said loudly: "Even if we make a hasty uprising wrong, these more than 10,000 brothers are always innocent, right?" Brother Chen, is he ready to see death and can't be saved? ”

Chen Hao smiled and said: "Commander Xu doesn't need to worry, of course I came this time to save more revolutionary comrades, but how to save it, how to settle the comrades after rescue, we must discuss it first, okay?" ”

Xu Xueqiu said briskly: "Brother Chen is going to do it, just say it!" As long as you can take the brothers out, you can do whatever you want. (To be continued......)
