Chen Hao has always relied on the imperial court to develop in the game, but he has always had one of the biggest problems, he believes in a constitutional monarchy rather than a monarch**. Believing in a constitutional monarchy will not become a thief, but the Empress Dowager Cixi is a conservative and will definitely not like players who believe in a constitutional monarchy.

Chen Hao did things for the imperial court in the game, and Cixi didn't know that he believed in a constitutional monarchy, so she always admired him. Sanshengshi contacted the ministers of the court and provided evidence of Chen Hao's dealings with the rebels, most notably Wang Wu was his master. Wang Wu wanted to save Tan Sitong when he changed the law, and later he had been against the imperial court, and the Empress Dowager Cixi heard his name, and after learning that Chen Hao was Wang Wu's disciple, Cixi immediately became defensive against him.

The Empress Dowager Cixi has no idea of attacking Chen Hao for the time being, after all, there are not a few ministers in the DPRK and China who advocate a constitutional monarchy. After the signing of the "Xinchou Treaty" in history, Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kunyi jointly played the "Three Fold of the Jiangchu Hui Reform Law" three times, advocating reform and learning from the Japanese constitutional monarchy, and Cixi acquiesced to this practice and implemented the new policy.

In the game, the "Xinchou Treaty" has just been signed, and the Empress Dowager Cixi is not so disgusted with the constitutionalists, but she still only believes in conservatives. Chen Haoping rebelled and made a great contribution, Cixi was originally going to reward him lavishly, and he was directly appointed as the general of Shengjing to manage Fengtian Province.

Although the Empress Dowager Cixi was suspicious of Chen Hao, Chen Hao's great achievements in Shengjing could not be unrewarded, and she asked the officials to discuss how to reward them. In the past, the Empress Dowager Cixi had always promoted Chen Hao exceptionally, and many ministers who liked to figure out their intentions suggested that Cixi promote Chen Hao to the general of Shengjing, but they were all vetoed by the Empress Dowager Cixi because she was too young and embarrassed.

This made many ministers secretly wonder, especially Sun Jianai, the secretary of the ministry, who said that he did not advocate the promotion of Chen Baxian when the Empress Dowager said that "ambition is not old", and now Chen Baxian has made irreproachable contributions, and your old man said that Chen Baxian is too young to take on a big responsibility.

However, Sun Jianai understood that after someone wrote a letter to impeach Chen Baxian for colluding with the remnants of the Restoration, the Queen Mother already had a defensive psychology against Chen Baxian and did not want to give Chen Baxian more power. Sun Jianai was not the only one who guessed the Empress Dowager Cixi's thoughts, and soon there were ministers who wrote to advocate that the imperial court should reward the meritorious soldiers in the camp, but there was no mention of Chen Ba's first promotion.

The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at these excerpts and said lightly: "Chen Ba first quelled the Shengjing rebellion, such a great achievement can not be rewarded, and then discuss!" ”

The minister of the upper fold was depressed, but Sun Jianai understood the queen mother's thoughts, she was unwilling to give Chen Baxian power but was afraid of gossip. Military merits are real, if Chen Ba has made great contributions first, the court has not been rewarded, who will work for the court in the future? It's just that the Queen Mother already has a suspicion, if she really lets Chen Baxian be promoted to a position like General Shengjing, she will have trouble sleeping, for fear that he will unite with the remnants of the Restoration to rebel one day.

Sun Jianai, who understood the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Cixi, made a fold and suggested that Chen Baxian be promoted to the envoy of Zhengsi Pinyun, and still concurrently serve as the Tongzhi of the Yingkou Zhili Hall. Chen Hao was originally a fifth-grade official, and his sudden promotion to the fourth-rank seemed to be an exceptional promotion, but he only got a false title and had no practical significance.

In addition to sealing Chen Hao as the envoy of the fourth grade of Yun, Wu Peifu was promoted to the garrison of the Zhili Hall of the Yingkou of the fifth grade, and Yang Du was promoted to the envoy from the fifth grade. Chen Hao, who made great contributions this time, only got the fictitious title of the fourth grade, and actually served in Yingkou, but Wu Peifu and Yang Du were both promoted to the fifth grade.

In addition to Yang Du and Wu Peifu, Du Li's third-class Yingkou soldiers were all rewarded, and the rewards were all excellent. Sun Jianai's excerpt was very much in line with the Empress Dowager Cixi's wishes, and the Empress Dowager Cixi immediately adopted it after reading the excerpt.

Sun Jianai's suggestion to promote the reward contains evil intentions, Chen Hao's actual position remains unchanged, but Wu Peifu has become the guardian of the Yingkou Zhili Hall, and he is also a five-rank official. The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Tongzhi is in charge of the affairs of the Zhili Hall, and the guard is responsible for military affairs, who will listen to whom in the future?

In addition, the exceptional promotion of the meritorious soldiers in Yingkou not only proves that the imperial court must be rewarded for meritorious service, but also makes the soldiers under Chen Baxian's command grateful to the imperial court. If Chen Ba rebelled one day, the aboriginal soldiers under his command would not obey his command, so as to prevent variables to the greatest extent.

The Empress Dowager Cixi quickly sent an envoy to Yingkou to pass the decree, and Chen Hao received a system prompt after placing the incense case and receiving the holy decree: "Player Chen Baxian, you have completed the task issued by the Empress Dowager Cixi to 'exterminate the bandits', and the Empress Dowager Cixi appointed you as the envoy of Zhengsi Pin Yun, and continue to serve as the official of Yingkou Zhili Hall." ”

"Player Chen Baxian, because the player Sanshengshi provided evidence to the deputy capital of Jinzhou, Qiubuha impeached you for colluding with the remnants of the Restoration. You have lost the trust of the Empress Dowager Cixi, so the rewards for your great achievements will be affected, and only by dispelling the suspicion of the Empress Dowager Cixi will you get the reward you deserve. ”

"Player Chen Baxian, due to the destruction of the player, your deserved reward has been affected, you have triggered the reverse quest 'Cixi's Trust', if you can make the Empress Dowager Cixi no longer believe in you, you can get the reward you deserve and have an additional reward."

Chen Hao couldn't help frowning when he received the system prompt, Sanshengshi is really ghostly! Like a mad dog, don't forget to take a bite at any time. But this time he did a good thing, Chen Hao never thought of holding too high a position in the Qing court, after all, there was revolution everywhere soon, if he became a big official in the imperial court, he would have a great responsibility, should he suppress the rebellious revolutionary party?

If it is not suppressed, it will be a dereliction of duty, and if it is suppressed, it will be resented by the revolutionary party, and life will not be easy after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. As for the suspicion of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Chen Hao does not have to worry at all, it will not be long before Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kunyi will jointly write a letter, and the Qing Dynasty will start a new policy, and at that time, Cixi, who acquiesced in the constitutional monarchy, will no longer be disgusted with the constitutionalists.

Chen Hao knew the evil intentions contained in Cixi's will, and he also understood the conspiracy methods, but he was very happy that his subordinates were promoted and made rich. When he played the meritorious soldiers to the court, Chen Hao's list was all his henchmen, and everyone had accepted his employment. High-level NPCs like Wu Peifu and Yang Du will not be affected by Cixi's tricks, and the NPCs that may be affected are not as high as him, and they will not betray under the influence of the Emperor's mental skills.

The imperial court issued an order to reward meritorious soldiers, and these people would only think that they could be promoted and make a fortune by following Lord Chen, and this time they were all recommended by Master Chen. At the same time, the Empress Dowager Cixi let Wu Peifu serve as the guard of the Yingkou Zhili Hall There is also an advantage, Cixi wants Wu Peifu and Yang Du to contain herself, which just makes Wu Peifu go to the imperial court to ask for additional military establishment, so that the NPCs recruited before the war do not have to pay military salaries out of Chen Hao's own pocket.

Wu Peifu received the order to thank Chen Hao according to his request, and euphemistically said that Chen Baxian was a good friend of the five products, and the army was Chen Baxian's henchmen. Wu Shouyu was nominally responsible for commanding the garrison army, but the garrison army would not obey his command, but Chen Baxian obeyed his orders, so it was hoped that the imperial court would consider adding a few battalions of troops under Wu Shouyu's command as appropriate...... The Empress Dowager Cixi was very happy after receiving the call, she did not blame Wu Peifu for opening her mouth, but happily promised Wu Peifu six battalion heads. Six battalions are 6,000 people, and in addition to Chen Hao's nine battalions, there are 6,000 more soldiers paid by the imperial court.

In the future, in addition to Chen Hao's private army selected from his nine battalion heads, he could also develop the six battalion leaders under Wu Peifu's name. From the 10,000 or 20,000 troops selected at any time to replenish the outstanding soldiers with potential, his 3,000-man private army can definitely be trained into elite soldiers.

In addition, Bai Hu Demon, who participated in the negotiations, did not waste Chen Hao's recommendation, and Li Hongzhang, who was seriously ill, taught him the A-level diplomatic stunt "Trying to maneuver". With this stunt, Bai Hu Demon is already a qualified diplomatic talent, and after his level increases, he is not much inferior to the top diplomatic NPCs.

In the process of signing the "Xinchou Treaty", Bai Hu made a lot of contributions, but he also had a reputation as a traitor with Li Hongzhang. Under the condemnation of public opinion, the reputation of Bai Hu Demon dropped by 3 points, but compared with the gains from his participation in the negotiations, 3 points of prestige is nothing.

After the negotiations, Li Hongzhang was seriously ill and died in the hospital bed not long after the signing. The white demon is an important assistant of Li Hongzhang, and the Empress Dowager Cixi named him as the leader of the Wupin Protector Army, which can be regarded as a step to the sky.

The division of forces in the northeast was a foregone conclusion, drunken dreams and deaths occupied the Benxi base area, Chen Hao seized Yingkou, and Sanshengshi developed steadily in Jinzhou. In addition, there are many players who have established a base area, but these players have not received the support of the imperial court, and many of them have been exterminated by the imperial court, and those who have not been exterminated will not escape after the new general Shengjing takes office.

Chen Hao mentioned the Benxi base area when he went to the imperial court, believing that these factories would help strengthen the country and the army, and suggested that they be managed by He Laocai, a stranger who is good at management. The Empress Dowager Cixi was harsh on him in terms of rewards, and did not refute his suggestion and agreed to his suggestion, so He Laocai's management of the Benxi base area became legal.

Chen Hao worked hard to help He Laocai, because he was drunk and dreamed of death, and he had ordered He Laocai to send the production materials and the sample drawings of the Mosingana rifle to Yingkou. After the sample drawings arrived, Chen Hao arranged for the technicians in the arsenal to immediately refer to them, and asked these technicians to master the drawing of the Mosingana rifle as soon as possible, and the NPCs who learned to draw first would be rewarded.

Once the NPC technician is able to draw the drawings, the arsenal with the raw materials will be able to mass-produce the Mosingana rifle immediately. When all the twenty NPCs learn to draw drawings, and the arsenal can't finish so many drawings, Chen Hao can also resell the drawings drawn by the NPCs to the forces that established the arsenal, which is also a stable income.
