It is not surprising that Xu Xilin behaved like this, as mentioned earlier he was a typical pragmatist, wanting to overthrow the Manchus after mastering the army. In history, he was too hasty to attack, there may be other reasons, and now Chen Hao, a player with tens of thousands of troops and a large number of warships in his hands, has come to him, if Chen Hao is willing to support the revolution, the chances of victory are undoubtedly much greater.

The system has always followed rationality, and each NPC has its own unique personality, and it is not surprising that the pragmatist Xu Xilin chose to make Chen Hao the dominant one. After Chen Hao calculated the gains and losses, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Xu, although I sympathize with the revolution, to be honest, I am not optimistic about your uprising in Anqing this time, so all I can do is support you with some ordnance, and I will not participate in it." ”

"Why?" Xu Xilin said with a disappointed face: "I have been preparing in Anqing for a long time, Brother Chen dominates one side in Cam Ranh Bay, if an uprising is launched, all parties will inevitably respond, and at that time, Brother Chen will become the dominant player when he returns to China from the sea, who can stop him in this world?" ”

Chen Hao told Xu Xilin in advance that the uprising had failed, and he thought that Xu Xilin would overreact, but he didn't expect him to be just a little disappointed. Xu Xilin is relatively different in the revolutionary team, if he can be persuaded to give up the uprising, the Anqing uprising will not be exposed without Qiu Jin, and his goal will be achieved.

After Chen Hao had the idea of persuading Xu Xilin, he couldn't control it, and he patiently explained: "I am the same kind of person as Brother Xu, why didn't Brother Xu think about it because I could develop in Cam Ranh Bay?" Although the imperial court is rotten, it has deep roots, Yuan Shikai has newly trained the elite soldiers of the six towns of Beiyang, and you and I have no power to resist at all. After Brother Xu launched, it would only be the revolutionaries who responded. But how many revolutionaries are there now in arm? ”

"Even though Brother Xu did not hesitate to shed blood for the revolution, it was difficult to succeed just by relying on the party. Although I have some troops at sea, I have no foundation at home, and even if I lead my troops from the sea, where will I attack? If Brother Xu can trust me, it is better to give up the idea of revolution for the time being, and leave a useful body to wait for the opportunity. ”

"When I have a certain foundation in the country. You and I jointly control a province, and then I launch it from the sea, and the revolution will surely succeed. In the future, the most effective unit of the imperial court is the New Army, the New Army is open-minded, the revolutionaries develop revolutionary comrades within the New Army, and you and I control one place after the first uprising, and the New Army in various places responds en masse, so that the revolution will have a future. ”

Xu Xilin's eyes gradually lit up, he is a person who is willing to use his brains, so he will donate officials to control the revolution of the army. But after he really became a military attache of the imperial court, he found that the strength of the troops he mastered was too small. This left him in a state of confusion. Historically, he rashly launched an uprising, and there were also factors that caused him to lose confidence in the revolution and finally gamble with a gambler's mentality.

After Chen Hao carefully analyzed him, he seemed to see a clear road, and he was quickly moved. was able to move Xu Xilin with his three-inch tongue, not because of how good Chen Hao's eloquence was, but because of his achievements in the game. As he said, Xu Xilin is the same kind of person as him. In order to achieve the ultimate goal, unscrupulous means, dissatisfied with the imperial court, at the same time, willing to serve as a court official to grasp the strength.

Xu Xilin calmed down his excitement and said, "Brother Chen." You persuaded me, according to what you said, to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity, which province should we take as the foundation for development? ”

Chen Hao quickly received a system prompt: "Player Chen Baxian, because your way of doing things has been recognized by Xu Xilin, Xu Xilin is very respectful to you, and he shows a trend of focusing on you." If you recruit Xu Xilin now. With an 80% chance of success, do you choose to solicit? ”

Recruiting NPCs in the game is either because of doing solicitation tasks, or because they have great kindness to NPCs, or because they need common interests, or because they are like-minded. Yang Du and Wu Peifu are willing to serve Chen Hao. Mainly because Chen Hao has been promoting them, so he has kindness to them. And at that time, if they wanted to go further in the officialdom, they had to become Chen Hao's henchmen, which could be regarded as having common interests, so the two would take refuge in him.

Xu Xilin's way of acting is very similar to Chen Hao's performance in the game, and the system determines that the two are like-minded people, so Chen Hao received such a system prompt after speaking. If he had recruited Xu Xilin, the Anqing Uprising would have been unlikely to happen, and the game had changed another plot.

A butterfly inciting its wings can make a huge change in history, and the same is true in the game, Chen Hao has done a lot of great things in the game, and it becomes easier and easier to change history after the prestige attribute increases. Now it is difficult to let him overthrow the imperial court in advance and change the plot tasks, but to change some local plots, he can do it by relying on his own influence.

Chen Hao decided to recruit Xu Xilin, who was a core member of the Restoration Society, and after recruitment, he played a huge role in the development of Guizhou. He said sincerely: "Brother Xu, now that the strength of the imperial court is not weak, if you want to control a province, you can only start from the weak place of the imperial court, and I have already begun to lay out in Guizhou." ”

"Guizhou?" Xu Xilin was stunned for a moment and said: "Brother Chen, there are many provinces where the imperial court has weak control, why did you choose Guizhou?" Guizhou is too remote, right? ”

Chen Hao took out a map and said: "Brother Xu, you can take a look, at present, I have mastered Cam Ranh Bay, and soon I will secretly control Vietnam." It is very safe for me to develop in Guizhou for the time being, and when we have enough strength to occupy Guizhou, we can wave our army to take Guangxi, and then my fleet can land on the coast of Guangxi, and it will not be difficult to take Guangxi from both sides. ”

"With control of Guizhou and Guangxi provinces, and with access to the sea, and with strong naval support, we can be invincible. At that time, the revolutionary parties in various places responded to the uprising, and except for the provinces in the north, which were strongly controlled by the imperial court, the southern provinces would certainly be recovered. ”

After staring at the map for a long time, Xu Xilin sighed: "Brother Chen is really eloquent, I am ashamed of myself, if Brother Chen does not dislike me, I am willing to follow you to Guizhou for development." ”

"Player Chen Baxian, Xu Xilin is willing to take refuge in you, and accept your employment from now on, do you choose to accept it?"

Chen Hao took the initiative to subdue Xu Xilin before and was only 80% sure, but after he revealed his plan, Xu Xilin took the initiative to take refuge.

NPCs take the initiative to join the player, either because of great interests or because the like-minded matchmaking rate is very high. NPCs who take the initiative to join players because of their interests are mostly not very reliable in terms of character; Because it's different for like-minded people to take refuge, even if the player who takes refuge doesn't have a stunt like the Emperor's Mind, as long as the player's concept hasn't changed significantly, the NPC can't be sentenced.

Of course Chen Hao would not refuse, he thought that it would take a lot of trouble to come to Anqing, but he didn't expect to easily subdue Xu Xilin. Xu Xilin is not as good as Yang Du politically, and he is not as good as Wu Peifu in military affairs, but he has 78 points in the scheming attribute and 72 points in the commander attribute, which can barely be regarded as both civil and military, and he is a figure who can take charge alone.

Xu Xilin belongs to the well-known NPC, but not the top category, so his stunts are three B-level stunts. The first B-level perk is "Hui Party", which has the attribute of recruiting NPCs in the name of Hui Party, and the chance of NPCs taking refuge is increased by 50%; The second stunt is forbearance, which can act as an undercover agent for a long time in order to achieve the goal, using the power of others to play a huge role; The third is the military individual stunt "Assassination", which increases the success rate by 40% when leading the assassination of NPC high-ranking officials.

Xu Xilin was a decisive man, and after he took refuge in Chen Hao and accepted Chen Hao's ideas, he decisively gave up launching an uprising in Anhui. However, Chen Hao advised him to stay in Anhui for a while, and then look for an opportunity to serve in Guizhou, because Anhui still has some NPC officers developed by Xu Xilin and many loyal subordinates.

Xu Xilin's continued stay in Anhui can attract more officers, and it will be a great supplement to Chen Hao's base in Guizhou at that time. And Chen Hao's goal is not only Xu Xilin, he hopes to wipe out all the important NPCs of the Restoration Society, so he entrusted Xu Xilin to go to Zhejiang to lobby Qiu Jin, Tao Chengzhang and others, if he can succeed, after he launched an uprising to occupy Guizhou in Xinhai year, his government affairs team is basically complete.

Chen Hao did not follow Xu Xilin to Zhejiang, Qiu Jin issued a task to ask him to support Xu Xilin's arms, but he abducted Xu Xilin. Now he doesn't know what Qiu Jin's attitude is, if Xu Xilin can persuade Qiu Jin to shift his focus to the southwest, it would be the best, if Qiu Jin loses his favor for him because of this, he can only find a chance to make up for it later.

Xu Xilin went to Zhejiang alone after asking Anhui Governor Enming to take leave, and he wanted to discuss with other members of the Liberation Association how to develop in the future, while Chen Hao chose to go north. In his plan, the base needs at least three top-level NPCs, one of whom is mainly responsible for internal affairs, another is mainly responsible for the military, and one is responsible for intelligence.

Chen Hao has Yang Du in charge of internal affairs, Wu Peifu in charge of the military for the time being, and he is still short of a top spy leader. In modern games, spy leaders are indispensable, including modern spies are also a very important part of a regime, "War" is a modern game, the player establishes a base and faces enemies with NPCs and players, the situation is very complicated, and the establishment of an intelligence department is a must.

If you have a powerful spy leader, you can not only grasp the news from all parts of the country, but also prevent others from infiltrating the base areas. Chen Hao has no background in reality, and he has never dared to develop a large number of player troops, just because he is afraid that someone will send a large number of players undercover. Now that he has recruited 20,000 players, it is difficult to say whether anyone has been bought, and after the establishment of the intelligence department, the people in the intelligence department will be able to find out the spies according to some clues revealed by the players in the game.
