Chen Hao grasped Guangxu's psychology, and Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Guangxi, did not have electricity to support Guangxu, so Guangxi is not Guangxu's territory. Taking someone else's territory as a reward, you may turn the territory into your own, and no matter how bad it is, you can disgust the opponent, why not?

Guangxu felt that it was a good deal, and Chen Hao also felt that it was not bad, and nominally becoming the governor of Guangxi was a big step forward for him. For others, what he gets is only in name, but he is different, he has a powerful navy in his hands, and he is forming a broken army, once his troops are formed, Zhang Mingqi will be terrified.

Chen Hao has the appointment of Guangxu, and at the same time, he also has the task authority of the governor of Guangxi, if he wants to expel Zhang Mingqi to occupy Guangxi, Zhang Mingqi can also issue the task. Therefore, although he only controlled Qinzhou and Beihai in Guangxi, after having the official position of governor of Guangxi, his chances of successfully mastering Guangxi were suddenly greater than that of Eagle Feather.

The most unhappy are Zhang Mingqi and Ying Yu, one of these two is an NPC and the other is a player. Zhang Mingqi was accustomed to seeing the wind and steering, and because he was Prince Gong's person, and there were more local officials who supported Xuantong as orthodoxy, he couldn't wait to call on Xuantong to support Xuantong. At that time, Emperor Guangxu was in Guizhou, and there were very few troops that could be used, and he didn't think he could do anything to him.

After Guangxu appointed Chen Baxian, Zhang Mingqi only felt panicked in his heart, Chen Baxian's subordinates were all elite soldiers, and he made a great name on the battlefield. If Chen Ba accepted Guangxu's appointment first, he would not have the courage to contend with him, and if Guangxi was occupied, he would have to bear the black pot.

Eagle Feather was even more painful, taking advantage of Chen Baxian's lack of time to get involved in Guangxi, he hurriedly laid out the layout, and now all the base areas have been moved to Guangxi. In order to get a legal identity in Guangxi, he spent a lot of money to bribe Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Guangxi. Bought an official position of the fourth grade. He successfully subdued Huang Shaohong, and was in contact with another famous general of the three heroes of the Xingui department, but when everything was full of hope, TMD Chen Baxian became the governor of Guangxi.

Ying Yu was very irritable, he had no good way to deal with this situation for a while, so he found Huang Shaohong to discuss. After he described the situation he was facing, Huang Shaohong smiled and said, "Don't worry. Now that Lord Zhang Mingqi is the governor of Guangxi appointed by the imperial court, he will definitely go all out to fight against that strange person Chen Baxian, and it will be difficult for Chen Ba to enter Guangxi first. ”

Ying Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Huang may not know Chen Baxian's hole cards, he has a lot of elite soldiers in his hands, and he also has the advantage of the navy, I am worried that Lord Zhang is not his opponent on the battlefield." ”

Huang Shaohong shook his head and said, "If Chen Ba first accepts Guangxu's reward and waives his army into Gui, the imperial court will definitely send other armies to Gui to support." After all, this was the first confrontation between the imperial court and Emperor Guangxu, and it was impossible for Guangxi to be occupied by Chen Baxian. That's a good thing for adults. ”

Ying Yu couldn't help but have a happy look on his face and said: "What does Sir mean is that I can sit back and relax, and I don't have to worry about Chen Baxian at all?" ”

Huang Shaohong showed a solemn expression and said: "What I'm saying is that adults don't have to worry about the battlefield, but adults need to be careful about the attitude of the imperial court." Since Emperor Guangxu could use the governor of Guangxi to win over Chen Baxian, I am worried that the imperial court will push the boat down the river and transfer Lord Zhang Mingqi to other places to serve, and then appoint Chen Baxian as the governor of Guangxi as the same. ”

Eagle Feather shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible!" Emperor Guangxu was rescued by Chen Ba first, and it is estimated that he happily took office immediately after Guangxu's appointment, and the court knew that he was Guangxu's person at that time. How is it possible to appoint him again? ”

Huang Shaohong shook his head and said, "Otherwise! If Chen Baxian does not accept Guangxu's appointment for the time being, it will drag on for a while. The court will also show sincerity in order to win him over. Just in case, it is best for the adults to go to the governor of the court, Lord Zhang, and ask him to go up and report the matter of Chen Baxian's secret dealings with Guangxu to the court. ”

In order to show respect for Huang Shaohong, Ying Yu nodded, but he was a little disdainful in his heart. If Chen Baxian refuses to accept Guangxu's appointment, wouldn't that be a slap in Guangxu's face? He worked hard to save Guangxu from the palace, but offended Guangxu because he was unwilling to be an official. As long as he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't do such a thing, right?

No matter how disappreciative Ying Yu was, he still went to the governor's yamen to visit Zhang Mingqi, so that he could give an explanation to Huang Shaohong. He is a player, of course he knows that it was Chen Baxian who rescued Guangxu to Guizhou, but he has no evidence that the imperial court will not believe his words. Huang Shaohong meant to do this through Zhang Mingqi. As long as Zhang Mingqi made a few more excerpts to make the court believe that Chen Baxian was Guangxu's confidant, the imperial court would not follow the boat and appoint Chen Baxian as the governor of Guangxi.

In order to avoid Chen Baxian from flattering each other, Ying Yu also took a lot of effort, and after seeing Zhang Mingqi, he said: "My lord, Emperor Guangxu appointed Chen Baxian as the governor of Guangxi, and he was worried that the imperial court would push the boat down the river in order to win him over, and then the status of the adult would be embarrassing, and the adult must be careful." ”

Zhang Mingqi said thoughtfully: "Yingyu, you have a point, so how do you think this official should deal with it?" ”

Ying Yu took the opportunity to say: "If the lord writes to the court and tells the court about Chen Baxian's secret dealings with Guangxu, the court will not dare to appoint Chen Baxian after learning that Chen Baxian is the confidant of the first emperor of Guangxu, so the lord will have peace of mind." ”

"Sit back and relax?" Zhang Mingqi said lightly: "Chen Baxian has a large number of ironclad ships in his hands, even if the imperial court does not issue an order, what should he do if he forcibly enters Guangxi to take office?" ”

Ying Yu said with a look of wisdom in his hand: "Your Excellency, don't worry, if Chen Baxian dares to enter Guangxi without authorization, the imperial court will definitely send troops from various provinces to encircle and suppress it." ”

Zhang Mingqi nodded and said: "Yingyu, you have a heart, this official has his own measure, and he will soon fold to the court, you go back first!" ”

Not long after Eagle Feather left, Zhang Mingqi called the housekeeper in and asked, "Is Lord Chen's envoy still there?" ”

The housekeeper said in a low voice: "I have settled in the guest room, do you want to meet him?" ”

Zhang Mingqi nodded and said, "You go and bring the guests!" Remember to be polite. ”

After a while, the housekeeper led an elegant NPC in, it was Chen Hao's chief think-tank, Yang Du Yang Huizi. Yang Du searched for officers all over the country, and when Guangxu decreed the appointment of Chen Hao as the governor of Guangxi, he happened to be in Guangxi, so Chen Hao sent him to meet with Zhang Mingqi.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Yang Du, who had a good conversation, left a good impression on Zhang Mingqi, and the guests and hosts talked happily. Zhang Mingqi is an old fox, and Yang Du is also deeply ambitious, and the two never talk about business. After a long time, Zhang Mingqi first lost his patience, and he said tentatively: "Why did Lord Chen send Mr. Yang here?" ”

Yang Du said loudly: "Emperor Guangxu appointed my family as the governor of Guangxi, which was not my family's original intention, he was afraid that Lord Zhang would misunderstand, so he sent me to explain." ”

Zhang Mingqi didn't quite believe what Yang Du said, he smiled slightly and said, "Since it is not Lord Chen's original intention, then the appointment of Emperor Guangxu Lord Chen is ready to resign?" ”

Yang Du smiled calmly and said: "My lord will not accept the appointment of Emperor Guangxu, but if the imperial court also decrees that he will be the governor of Guangxi, he will not let him go." ”

Zhang Mingqi's face changed greatly, he was good at the art of power and scheming, and what he was worried about was that the imperial court really ordered Chen Baxian to serve as the governor of Guangxi. Guangxu and the Xuantong Imperial Court have both issued orders, so Chen Baxian, the governor of Guangxi, is sure to put him Zhang? Hearing Yang Du say so bluntly, he was displeased and said: "If the imperial court really decrees the appointment of Lord Chen as the governor of Guangxi, this official will abdicate and let Xian be." ”

Yang Du shook his head and said, "Don't misunderstand, Lord Zhang, my family hopes to be the governor of Gui Province, but he said that he doesn't want to affect the friendship with Lord Zhang." He sent me to meet Master Zhang this time, hoping to cooperate with Master Zhang, which would be good for everyone. ”

Zhang Mingqi was surprised and said, "What kind of cooperation method?" ”

Yang Du said with a smile: "I heard that the governor of Liangjiang has been vacant, and the imperial court wants to send officials to Liangjiang to serve this time, don't you think this is an opportunity?" ”

Zhang Mingqi said lightly: "This official has been serving as governor for a short time, and his qualifications are not enough, so he dare not expect to serve as governor." Moreover, the Governor of Liangjiang is the most important official position besides the Governor of Zhili, even if this official is lucky enough to serve as the Governor of Liangjiang further, it is impossible to be Liangjiang according to the convention, right? ”

Yang Du gave Zhang Mingqi a thumbs up and said: "Your Excellency has analyzed it thoroughly, it is indeed impossible for the imperial court to appoint your Excellency as the Governor of Liangjiang, it is said that it intends to let Zhang Renjun and Master Zhang go to Liangjiang, so that the Governor of Liangguang is vacant again......"

Zhang Mingqi's heart thumped, he didn't dare to hope for the governor of Liangjiang, if it was the governor of Liangguang, he would have a chance. Historically, in 1909, Zhang Renjun was transferred to the governor of Liangjiang, and Zhang Mingqi relied on Prince Gong to become the governor of Liangguang.

In order to win over Chen Hao to appoint him as the governor of Guangxi, the imperial court must find a way to compensate Zhang Mingqi, at that time there was a vacancy in the position of governor of Liangguang, coupled with Zhang Mingqi's own way, his official position as governor of Liangguang was no problem. As an old fritter in the officialdom, Zhang Mingqi is thorough at all, and he muttered: "How does Lord Chen need this official to cooperate?" ”

Yang Du said with a smile: "My lord hopes that Lord Zhang can clarify for my lord in an excerpt, and tell the court that my lord has no private dealings with Emperor Guangxu, but he is quite moved by the governor of Guangxi." My lord, for the sake of the imperial court, to prevent Lord Chen from taking refuge on the side of Emperor Guangxu, so I am willing to retire and let my lord serve as the governor of Guangxi, and I implore the imperial court to issue an edict......"

Zhang Renjun was greatly moved, not only could he show his high demeanor to the imperial court, but also possibly further served as the governor of Liangguang. Even if the governor of Liangguang failed, he worked hard to persuade Chen Ba to stand on the side of the imperial court, and the imperial court could not treat the meritorious ministers badly, right? With Prince Gong here, no matter how bad it is, he can be transferred to other provinces as governors, no worse than the governors of Guangxi...... (To be continued......)
