Well-known NPCs will not be easily moved by high-ranking officials Houlu, but Chen Hao's timing is too correct, and he chose to throw out his official position at Wang Yaqiao's wedding. After he announced the letter of appointment, Wang Yaqiao didn't react, and his relatives and friends began to make noise, and they all said: "Sure enough, it's double happiness, Jiuguang is the fourth official of the imperial court, this is the glory of the ancestors!" ”

"The ancestors and the ancestors bless, after Jiuguang took office, the clan immediately sacrificed to the ancestral temple, and some ancestral tombs should also be repaired."

"Jiuguang is a military attache in the imperial court, there must be some of his own people who are not, my third son is seventeen years old this year, and he can just go to help him."

"My dog baby is also sixteen, Jiuguang must bring ...... when you leave"

Wang Yaqiao heard the discussion of his relatives, and said with an embarrassed face: "My lord, my relatives and friends are excited to hear that you have appointed me to an official position, and I hope that my lord will not mind." ”

How could Chen Hao mind that Wang Yaqiao's relatives and friends were gossiping about sending their own children to follow Wang Yaqiao, which was simply a great favor for him! Even if Wang Yaqiao is reluctant to do things for the imperial court, he can't bear to disappoint his relatives and friends? Chen Hao pushed the boat down the river and said: "Jiuguang, you can still rely on your relatives and friends when you go out, and every general has some personal soldiers, which is nothing." ”

After Chen Hao finished speaking, he said loudly to Wang Yaqiao's relatives in the courtyard: "This official has promised you on behalf of Jiuguang, Jiuguang will soon be the general who leads the troops to fight, and the number under his command is as little as a few thousand, and as many as tens of thousands of troops, there must always be a pro-soldier team." All children between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five can follow Jiuguang to Nanyang, and if they make meritorious contributions, they will also be promoted. ”

"Thank you, Lord Chen!" Wang Yaqiao's relatives happily thanked him, with Wang Yaqiao, a high-ranking official, and a large number of children with official status, the Wang family will soon be prosperous.

At this point, Wang Yaqiao has been completely kidnapped, whether he wants to or not, he has no choice, he has to give up: "Thank you for bringing someone to lift." I would like to serve as an official of the imperial court, but I am only getting married today, and it will take some time before I can take office. ”

Wang Yaqiao expressed his willingness to serve as an official of the imperial court, rather than serving Chen Hao, which means that he and Chen Hao only had a superior-subordinate relationship, and did not form an employment relationship. But Chen Hao was not in a hurry at all. After Wang Yaqiao went to Nanyang to take up his post, his subordinates were all loyal to him, and after a long time, if Wang Yaqiao wanted to make some achievements, he had to choose to take refuge like other NPCs.

In the end, everyone was happy, relatives, friends and neighbors vied to recommend their children to Wang Yaqiao, and even some children under the age of 16 also reported a fake age. After Chen Hao achieved his goal, he sat on the chief with a smile on his face and accompanied several old people of the Wang family to eat and drink, which was a happy situation.

Those players who wanted to fight Wang Yaqiao's idea were sad, and many people had been preparing for Wang Yaqiao for a long time, but they were easily taken down. Comparisons are odious. They don't have the same prestige as Chen Hao in the game, and they don't dare to openly seduce them with the official position of the fourth grade, so they can only watch the NPCs they want to win over to join others.

Grande narrowed his eyes, he couldn't see joy or anger on his face, just looked at Chen Hao's table with a flat face. This time, the big gift he gave was basically in vain, but he was not a person who gave up easily, it was no longer possible to compete with Chen Baxian for Wang Yaqiao through normal means, and he should be able to try other means.

Players who wanted to win over Wang Yaqiao left one after another. In the end, only Chen Hao and Grande were left, and Chen Hao pretended not to know Grande. Didn't even glance at his table. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Chen Hao explained some things to Wang Yaqiao and left, and Grande followed him out of the courtyard of the Wang family.

"Brother Chen Baxian, congratulations on successfully subduing Wang Yaqiao, a top spy NPC." Grandet graciously stepped forward to greet him.

Chen Hao smiled faintly and said: "How can well-known NPCs be so easy to subdue, Wang Yaqiao is now working for the imperial court, and he has not accepted my employment." I don't know what year or month it will take to successfully hire him! What is this big brother called? ”

Grande hurriedly said: "My name is Grande, I have been developing in Shanghai, and I want to discuss something with Brother Chen this time." ”

Chen Hao also wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Grande, and if he had the opportunity, he wouldn't mind pit Grande once, so he said with interest: "What does Brother Ge have to say?" ”

Grandet said sincerely: "I can't hide it. I am looking for Brother Chen mainly for Wang Yaqiao, Wang Yaqiao is a spy type NPC, but he can't play much role in the short term under Brother Chen. My foundation is in Shanghai, and if I can have Wang Yaqiao to help me develop, it will be very smooth, so I hope that Brother Chen can cut his love and create an opportunity for me to subdue Wang Yaqiao, of course, I will not let Brother Chen suffer from you. ”

Modern Shanghai has a certain peculiarity, due to the existence of the concession, the great powers do not want to let the downtown of Shanghai control, so no warlord has really mastered the big beach. It is the tycoons, that is, the hooligan leaders, who dominate the scene in Shanghai. Such people cannot pose a threat to the interests of the great powers, but on the contrary, they can do things for the great powers, and many of them have the support of the great powers behind them.

Therefore, although Shanghai is a bustling city, no player in the game is stupid enough to establish a base in Shanghai and develop step by step. Players who chose to operate in Shanghai have chosen the hooligan route to participate in the Shanghai Tang competition, and Grande is one of the best.

Wang Yaqiao made his fortune in Shanghai in history, and he can suppress tycoons like Zhang Xiaolin and Du Yuesheng who can't raise their heads. It is impossible for Chen Hao to give up Wang Yaqiao, Wang Yaqiao is a very important part of the plan he formulated, and it is impossible for him to give Wang Yaqiao to Grande. However, because he was cheated by Grande in his memory, he didn't mind making a mistake with Grande to see if he could make Grande suffer a big loss.

Chen Hao's face showed displeasure and said: "Brother Ge is too unkind, who doesn't know that Wang Yaqiao is a top-level spy NPC?" How could he be useless to me? ”

Grande said with a smile: "I'm not saying that Wang Yaqiao is useless, but that he can play a greater role in Shanghai by following me, if I exchange half of the machinery and equipment of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau for Wang Yaqiao, what does Brother Chen think?" ”

Chen Hao was a little suspicious that he had misheard, Grande was willing to exchange half of the machine of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau for Wang Yaqiao, what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd?

Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, referred to as Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau or Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, also known as Shanghai Machinery Bureau, is a military production organization established in the Qing Dynasty Westernization Movement, the most important military factory in China in the late Qing Dynasty, the largest modern military enterprise opened by the Westernization faction of the Qing government, and also the early factory of Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, one of the earliest modern factories. It is the predecessor of Jiangnan Shipyard.

In 1876, China's first ironclad warship "Jinou" was born in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and in the six years from 1905 to 1911, the Manufacturing Bureau built 136 ships. In 1918, four 10,000-ton ships were built for the Americans, which was the largest ship ever built in China and the largest shipbuilding contract that China had ever signed.

Chen Hao did several large tasks to get hundreds of shipbuilding technicians from the Russians, and they were of a relatively poor type. Although the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau failed to build advanced warships, it has a large number of technical personnel, and the accumulation of shipbuilding technology is also a very valuable asset.

Grande is the son of a top family, and when the children of other families stir up trouble in the provinces, he certainly can't be obscure. His goal is to control Shanghai Tang in another way, and then gradually infiltrate the surrounding area, and in the early game he spends almost all of his energy on the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and he wants to take down this large arsenal.

Grande had been preparing for many years, and Chen Hao remembered that he only succeeded in laying down the Jiangnan Machinery Bureau in 1909, but did not take the shipyard that was renamed Jiangnan Dockyard in 1905. Grandet took the tycoon route, the shipyard didn't mean much to him, what he wanted was those manufacturing machines from the Jiangnan Machine Bureau.

Chen Hao was not only interested in Jiangnan Dockyard, but he was also very concerned about the ordnance machinery of the Manufacturing Bureau, because he wanted to build an arsenal in Guizhou. Cam Ranh Bay is an important base for him, and there is already an arsenal, and the arsenal has a lot of military talents. After preparing to shift the focus to the southwest, Chen Hao wanted to establish an arsenal in the southwest, after all, it was not convenient to transport weapons and ammunition from Nanyang to the southwest for a long time.

Cam Ranh Bay has enough military talents, but it lacks machines, and Chen Hao can't buy them even if he has money. He mainly relied on Silva for supplies, but Silva was in the arms business, and the most important thing was guns and ammunition. If Chen Hao purchased a large number of machines, he could continue to produce them in the future, how could Silva's business continue?

Chen Hao asked Silva to help purchase Krupp artillery technology, but Silva was a little unhappy and reluctantly agreed for the sake of huge profits. If Chen Hao had asked him to purchase a machine to make bullets, the cooperation between the two sides would have been almost impossible, so he never proposed it to Silva.

It is also unrealistic to find other foreign players to buy machines, and most of the players who have the means to get the munitions machine are arms dealers, and they are of course willing to sell eggs in a long stream, and are not willing to sell the hens that lay eggs to customers. Foreign NPCs will also sell machines, but they are all sold to the Qing Dynasty in the name of the country, and players have no way to purchase them.

The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has a large number of military machines, and Grandtai generously took out half of it to Chen Hao's expectations, and he said tentatively: "The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau belongs to the imperial court, and Ge Dage is sure to beat it down?" ”

Grande waved his hand and said, "Whether it can be defeated is my business, Brother Chen should first answer whether he is willing to let me recruit Wang Yaqiao!" (To be continued......)
