Chapter 191: Wearing a Yellow Jacket

When Sun Jianai saw Cixi leaving, he suddenly had a realization in his heart, perhaps Lafayette never thought of letting Chen Baxian serve as the governor of Zhili.

When Shoushan's performance arrived, Lafayette immediately thought of a reward plan, she did not hesitate to change the Yingkou Haiphong Tongzhi Hall to the Zhili Hall, and also set Chen Baxian's official rank as the fifth grade. Therefore, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty may have been played by her as a monkey, and her real purpose was only to appoint Chen Baxian to serve as the official position of the fifth grade.

Sun Jianai shook his head and smiled bitterly, Lafayette's wrist has always been smart, but this time he is the monkey that is jumping around. In fact, Sun Jianai is still a little grateful to Shoushan Shangshu for recommending Chen Baxian, and without Shoushan Shangshu, Lafayette will also promote Chen Baxian to the fifth grade of the real position, and it is likely to be in Zhili. For a court member like Sun Jianai, Yingkou is of course far less important than Zhili, and it is nothing for Chen Ba to serve as the Tongzhi of Yingkou Zhili Hall first.

Heilongjiang General's Mansion, after receiving the will of the imperial court, Chen Hao was also secretly glad that if Cixi really transferred him to northern Hebei to flow muddy waters, it would be a tragedy.

The war in northern Hebei will inevitably fail, because it is all the great powers that have to be dealt with, and the great powers will continue to increase their troops after one or two victories, and they will have to bear the black pot in the end. In the northeast, the great powers did not want Tsarist Russia to occupy the northeast, and Tsarist Russia's military strength should take into account both the West, and it was unrealistic to increase troops in the Far East on a large scale.

Chen Hao planned to be the martial artist of the Yingkou Haiphong Tongzhi Department, and the goal was to mix up a seven-rank garrison or a thousand households from the six-rank guard, and Cixi's reward greatly exceeded his expectations. Not only did he become the same governor of Yingkou Haiphong Tongzhi Office, but also the time when Yingkou was changed to Zhili Hall was nine years ahead of schedule, and he also indirectly affected a small plot.

The reason why Chen Hao was able to jump to the fifth grade at once was first of all because his military merits were big enough, and it was not an exaggeration to annihilate more than 20,000 foreigners who were the first achievements in the Guangxu period. It was because he had enough merit points that Cixi would appoint him as the governor of Zhili to play a number of ministers, even if he served as the Yingkou Zhili Hall and knew that his merit value was not exhausted.

The second is the mentality of Cixi Lafayette, if it is usual, Lafayette will be promoted to two levels at most if he has made such a great achievement. Now that the resistance to the foreigners is frustrated everywhere, in order to let the soldiers of the three armies use their lives, Cixi needs to set an example. From the perspective of hype, Chen Haonian donated all his family wealth to serve the country, and he could also achieve a great victory, which is more suitable to be an example.

There are six battalions under the jurisdiction of the Yingkou Zhili Hall, which means that Chen Hao can use the imperial army to raise six battalion soldiers, so it is possible to recruit horse bandits. Many potential horse bandits, if Chen Hao recruited them privately, they would definitely not be willing to take refuge, but if they accepted the imperial court's recruitment to obtain an official and a half-position, many militia groups or bandits were interested.

First take these bandits under your command, appoint the bandit leader to a half-official position, and find outstanding talents to slowly win over. After the bandits became officers and soldiers, Chen Hao became the top boss of the bandit leader, and the chance of winning over the bandits would also increase greatly. After leading the army north this time, Chen Hao had a high prestige in the hearts of the bandits who had cooperated, and also created conditions for digging corners.

The number of NPCs that each player can recruit at different levels is limited, and if you want to recruit a large number of private soldiers, Chen Hao must first establish a base. There is still a problem with recruiting these horse bandits to the patrol battalion, there are already six battalions stationed at the Yingkou, and there are officials appointed by the imperial court, Chen Hao does not have so many official positions to attract the bandit leaders.

Chen Hao had to solve this problem, he served as the Tongzhi of the Yingkou Zhili Department, but the commanders of the six battalions in Yingkou were all appointed by the imperial court, and many of them were the henchmen of the previous Tongzhi. Chen Hao only has two subordinates, Wu Peifu and Yang Du, and he lacks connections in the officialdom, and he is a type of general who is disgusted by Zeng, so it is impossible to get the support of his officials.

After going to Yingkou Zhili Hall to take up a post, his subordinate officials must change blood, so that they can firmly control the army under their command, and they can also free up their official positions to recruit horse bandits. For the time being, Chen Hao does not have a good way to carry out a big purge, but he has confidence in Wu Peifu and Yang Du, and believes that Yang Du will have a way to clean up those officials, and Wu Peifu has the ability to control the army.

After Shoushan wrote the book, Chen Hao has been in Bukui City, and together with Shoushan, he received the will of the imperial court and obtained the seal of the same governor of the Yingkou Zhili Hall. In addition to holding an official position, Chen Hao also obtained a yellow jacket, and he was very disgusted with the wild boar skin of the Qing court, so he instinctively disliked the yellow jacket.

When the imperial court rewards an official, there is a saying that "give a yellow jacket", which is no stranger to yellow jacket players, but few people know that there are actually four types of yellow jackets. The first is that when the emperor travels, the ministers of the interior, the ministers of the imperial court, the imperial guards and other entourages must wear yellow horse coats to make a strong appearance. This kind of yellow coat is called "professional gown", and there are no patterns and patterns. Because it is worn for duty, it cannot be worn when leaving work or when not traveling with the emperor.

The second type of yellow coat was given by the emperor when he hunted and shot at school. The emperors of the Qing Dynasty had the habit of hunting every year until Xianfeng. Those who perform well in the emperor's hunting, proofreading, or offering prey to the emperor may be rewarded with a yellow coat by the emperor. This yellow coat is called a "Xingwei gown", and according to the regulations, it can only be worn when hunting with the emperor.

The third type is special envoys and officials who comfort China and foreign countries. Normally, after the emperor's edict on an official's yellow coat is read, the official who is given the yellow coat must ride around the Forbidden City on horseback, which is a majestic and solemn ceremony that is most popular in the Xianfeng years.

The fourth type of yellow coat is rewarded for special merits. This kind of reward is also known as the "martial arts coat", and the winner can wear it on any solemn occasion, which is the real meaning of "giving the yellow coat".

Chen Hao was rewarded for his great military exploits, and what Cixi rewarded him was a "martial arts gown". Whether he liked it or not, he did not dare to discard the yellow jacket, because it had to be worn on important occasions.

Putting aside personal likes and dislikes, the yellow vest is the best category among the clothes and props.

Item Name: Yellow Jacket Item Quality: Martial Arts Jacket Item Introduction; The gown, which was rewarded by the imperial court for special merits, could be worn by the recipient on any solemn occasion.

Item Attributes: +20 grooming in front of court NPCs, +15 grooming in front of ordinary people, -10 grooming in front of Revolutionary Party NPCs. Increases the chance of soliciting NPCs by 10%, increases the chance of being appreciated by 50% when associating with superior officials, and increases prestige among subordinate officials by 50%.

In the early stage of the game, the clothing in the Huaxia area increases the appearance by up to 30 points, and only the emperor's dragon robe has this effect, except for the dragon robe, which is the yellow coat and the costume of the first-class master, both of which increase the appearance by 20 points. Because the yellow jacket is not a regular official uniform, it is better than the clothing of a first-class official in terms of attributes.

After the Xinhai Revolution, since he was no longer a monarch**, the difference in the attributes of clothing was mainly reflected in different levels of military uniforms and medals. A set of marshal uniform increases grooming by 20 points, and if this marshal uniform is hung with a meritorious medal, more grooming will be added on the original basis. The more medals you hang, the more valuable they are, and the more stats you can gain, but the maximum number of grooming points is 40 points.

The special attributes of the yellow coat are all political, and it is very useful to Chen Hao, now he has a certain prestige among the aborigines, and he has the qualifications to recruit some potential NPCs, and the probability of increasing the recruitment of NPCs by 10% is already very high.

Chen Hao put the yellow jacket into the coat, he usually doesn't wear official uniforms and yellow jackets, but when he needs to use the attributes of the yellow jacket, he will also take it out and put it on. After accepting the imperial reward, he returned to Aihui from Bukui City with the eunuch of the herald, preparing to go south with his troops.

Cixi said in her will that other warriors participating in the battle would be rewarded by Chen Hao and Feng Xiang, and that both he and Feng Xiang could promote players or NPCs who had made great achievements. Although everyone fights side by side, Chen Hao will not appoint players who cannot be trusted to serve under him, and his positions will only be appointed to NPCs or henchmen.

Fengxiang Grand Prize Three Armies, several outstanding players have obtained military positions under Fengxiang, and the rest of the players who participated in the mission have received additional rewards. Now that there are more and more Huaxia players on the North Road, there are also players stationed in the five defense lines, and it is time for Chen Hao to leave.

Wu Peifu and Yang Du both value fame and fortune, and while the two of them were happy after getting the six-rank official position, their faces were a little complicated. Cixi obviously regarded them as Chen Hao's subordinates when she appointed the official position, so when they arrived at Yingkou, they were both Chen Hao's adjutants, but Chen Hao was a stranger, which meant that the two had to consider whether to serve Chen Hao.

NPCs like Wu Peifu and Yang Du have high requirements for choosing a life target, and Chen Hao will definitely not be able to meet it now. The relationship between the three is very delicate, Chen Hao failed to subdue Wu Peifu and Yang Du, the two of them held official positions and had to serve under him, and they had to become Chen Hao's henchmen if they wanted to be further promoted and rich.

There is only one way for NPCs to become the player's henchmen, and that is to be loyal to the player and become the player's subordinate, and the future development will be tied to the player. If the mix is not satisfactory, NPCs can choose to betray, but people like Wu Peifu and Yang Du will not easily serve any player, and they will not easily betray after choosing.

Chen Hao has the Emperor's Heart Trick stunt, but it has no effect on Wu Peifu and Yang Du, because the scheming of both of them is above him. Needless to say, Yang Du is one of the top conspiracy NPCs in the game, and Chen Hao's conspiracy attributes may not surpass him for decades. Wu Peifu climbed up step by step to become the top figure of the direct warlord, such a person cannot be a political idiot, so his scheming attribute also has 72 points, and Chen Hao can only look up to it in the short term.

Chen Hao's hope for subduing Wu Peifu and Yang Du lies in the officialdom, if he can always promote the two of them to be promoted and make a fortune, everyone will cooperate happily and stay by his side with peace of mind. He has a relationship with these two people, and he has the emperor's mental skills, as long as he is not a dou who can't be supported, it should become the priority choice of the two.

Chen Hao took a thousand patrol battalions and more than 8,000 horse bandits all the way south to Shengjing, and the Shengjing general Zengqi was his superior, and he had to go to meet him first in terms of etiquette.
