Chapter 536: Tell the World
PS: (Thanks to dljxoo88xx book friends for their valuable monthly passes)
Lost the harvest of Sangyu, Chen Hao thought that maybe Cai Ye would become a member of the army under his command, and he didn't have much hope for Jiang Baili abroad. As a result, Cai Yi would rather resign and return to his hometown than help, and Jiang Baili, who was abroad, decided to return to China to lead troops after receiving his official letter.
Jiang Baili has been studying military affairs in Germany for two years, and coupled with his studies at the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, his individual attributes are already very high. He didn't have a suitable way in China, so he was ready to complete his studies and then return to China.
Chen Hao was extremely happy to receive Jiang Baili's reply, which made Lin Heier and Cuiyun Niang very puzzled. They wondered why the adults were so excited today when they were still crying the day before, and Lin Heier said curiously: "What happy event did the adults encounter?" β
"Haha! Master Ben's military skills are not enough, and he has always wanted to recruit a powerful general, and that general has agreed to serve as the commander of the Broken Army. β
Lin Hei'er and the others were even more curious, and Cuiyun Niang said, "Isn't Lord Wu very powerful?" Commanding the army under the command of the lord to win a hundred battles, could it be that the general who promised the lord is even more powerful? β
Chen Hao smiled slightly: "Each has its own merits!" If you want to do great things, it is not enough to rely on one general, of course, the more powerful generals, the better! β
Chen Hao attaches great importance to Jiang Baili, but Jiang Baili still serves the imperial court after serving as the commander of the Broken Army, not his henchmen. In order to show the importance he attaches to Jiang Baili, he decided to go back to Guangdong to meet the famous general in person. However, it was not a few days before Xuantong ascended the throne, and after he rushed to Guangdong, it was impossible for him to accompany Guangxu to send a telegram to declare that Yuan Shikai and Li Lianying were traitors.
If Chen Hao stays in Guizhou and announces Guangxu's life in the name of loyal and brave escort, his prestige will increase to a certain extent. But there are two sides to everything. Many big people in the capital hope that Guangxu will pass away, and he will also be hated by many people. Especially Yuan Shikai and Li Lianying, who originally had a good relationship with him, and would regard him as a thorn in their side when they learned that Guangxu was alive.
Chen Hao has been hesitant to announce that Guangxu is alive when Xuantong ascends the throne, just because he doesn't want to offend a powerful faction like Yuan Shikai and point the finger at himself too early. After thinking about it for a long time, he came up with a solution. He gave up the credit for rescuing Guangxu and gave this credit to his subordinates Lin Xiaofeng.
The Guizhou base area was under the name of Lin Xiaofeng, and when Xuantong ascended the throne, Lin Xiaofeng electrified the world in the name of Guangxu. At that time, Lin Xiaofeng became a loyal minister to save Guangxu, and he and Bai Hu Demon and others could also get an official identity, and at the same time, they could give full play to Guangxu's influence.
Players all know that Guizhou is Chen Hao's territory, but the NPCs don't know that doing so can allow Chen Hao to avoid making enemies with Yuan Shikai and others. Those NPCs who support Guangxu will not change because it was Lin Xiaofeng and a few people who rescued Guangxu. It's a great way to get the best of both worlds.
Players all know that Guizhou is Chen Hao's territory, and once Guangxu appears in Guizhou, they also know that this is Chen Hao's handiwork. Chen Hao can't brush up his reputation with NPCs, but players know that he has done something big again, and those who support him will admire him even more, and they can only envy and hate him if they are unhappy.
The day after Chen Hao arrived in Guangzhou, the imperial court officially convened the world, and Aixin Jueluo Puyi was enthroned as the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty. The era name is declared. Lin Xiaofeng and others, who had been prepared for a long time, announced a telegram in Guizhou on the 2nd of December. Tell the world that Emperor Guangxu is still alive.
In addition to the telegram, Wang Ying, deputy editor-in-chief of "Huaxia Daily", also conducted an exclusive interview with Guangxu, disclosing in detail how Guangxu left Beijing. Yuan Shikai and Li Lianying's attempt to murder Guangxu was exposed, and at the same time, Wang Ying wrote a sentence from Guangxu in an exclusive interview: "I didn't know why Yuan Shikai and Li Lianying, two thieves, would deal with me, but now I understand a little." β
Emperor Guangxu's words have a great meaning, for now. The biggest profit from Guangxu's death was, of course, the little emperor Xuantong. The news of Guangxu's life caused an uproar, and many people questioned that there was a palace coup d'Γ©tat, and someone killed Guangxu by disgraceful means
The bigwigs in the capital were also anxious, and the regent Zaifeng immediately ordered Yuan Shikai to be removed from his official position and ordered Yuan Shikai to be sent to prison. Zaifeng opposed many of Yuan Shikai's governance measures. In addition, when Lao Yuan betrayed Emperor Guangxu, Zaifeng gritted his teeth and hated him, and he wanted to find an excuse to take down Yuan Shikai. Now that he learned that Emperor Guangxu was still alive, and Yuan Shikai was still the mastermind of the murder of Guangxu, he used this as an excuse to deal with him.
Historically, Yuan Shikai was only dismissed from his official position and went home to fish, and it was not until the Wuchang Uprising in 1911 that he returned to serve as prime minister. Due to Chen Hao's change of plot tasks, Yuan Shikai's murder of the emperor was exposed, and he was imprisoned in the prison. However, the system will not let such an important person finish, after Lao Yuan's henchmen dredged up many times, the court thought that Yuan Shikai had insufficient evidence to murder the emperor, and released Yuan Shikai to go home for retirement.
Li Lianying became unlucky, since Yuan Shikai saved his life, he could only become a scapegoat. In history, Li Lianying, who would not die in 1908, was escorted to the vegetable market and beheaded, and the imperial court had an explanation for the world. However, now there are two emperors, the still living Emperor Guangxu and the newly enthroned Emperor Xuantong, and there is a dispute about who is the emperor again.
The regent Zaifeng had no ill feelings towards Guangxu, and he had the idea of letting his son return the throne to Guangxu, but he was opposed by many ministers. Most of the local governors hoped that the more chaotic the court was, the better, and that the power of the central government would weaken, and the power of the local magistrates would be stronger. Some people took Pu Yi's safety to warn Zaifeng, saying that Pu Yi was rightfully enthroned, even if Zaifeng generously asked his son to return the throne to Guangxu, he was afraid that Guangxu would not be able to tolerate Pu Yi.
Zaifeng didn't dare to risk his son's life, and besides, there was a reason to give up the throne if he had just ascended the throne, so he concocted an edict with a group of ministers. Zaifeng sent ministers to Guizhou to greet Guangxu, hoping that Emperor Guangxu would return to the capital and the court would respect him as the emperor.
After the imperial court was electrified, Emperor Guangxu was so angry that he smashed a lot of things in Zhenyuan Mansion. finally survived until the Empress Dowager Cixi hung up, of course he wanted to be in power, but he didn't want to do anything too emperor. Moreover, Emperor Guangxu was frightened by Cixi, and he would definitely be placed under house arrest after becoming the emperor, and he was no longer willing to live such a life.
Emperor Guangxu rejected Zaifeng's proposal by telegram, saying that his current emperor was not right to take the throne. For a time, the imperial court and Guangxu in Guizhou had a war of words, and some of the local officials supported Guangxu as orthodoxy, and some supported Xuantong as orthodoxy, but more of them kept silent and waited for the development of the situation.
The governors who did not express their stance were all ambitious, and now there are two imperial courts, and being impartial will be co-opted. Chen Hao's goal has been achieved, and now Guizhou is a small imperial court, and his henchmen and NPCs who have taken refuge in him have been appointed by Guangxu to official positions, and soon he can try to establish a constitutional monarchy in Guizhou if he talks with Sun Yat-sen.
If Guizhou succeeds in implementing a constitutional monarchy, many governors who advocate reform will turn to Guangxu's side, and the imperial court will be even more anxious. Chen Hao was curious about how the system would respond, after he whimsically brought Guangxu to Guizhou, the plot of Huaxia District had undergone earth-shaking changes, and it was difficult to return to the historical track.
With Chen Hao's understanding of the system, the system will try to maintain the original plot under reasonable circumstances, what will the system do? He put this issue behind him for the time being, and then ordered Yang Du, who had returned to China, to go to the NPC army across the country to select officers, and began to work on building the Broken Army.
The game time entered 1909, and Chen Hao finally waited for the long-awaited Jiang Baili and appointed Jiang Baili as the commander of the Broken Army. He was very curious about Jiang Baili's attributes, but unfortunately Jiang Baili was now a member of the imperial court, and he couldn't see through Jiang Baili's attributes before he took refuge in him.
Yang Du's eyesight stunt has this effect, but unfortunately Yang Du has gone to various places to recruit grassroots officers, and the eyesight stunt seems to be inaccurate to well-known NPCs. But no matter what Jiang Baili's current military attributes are, he is undoubtedly a top general, and Chen Hao is very enthusiastic about him.
Jiang Baili spoke with humor, he was very interested in the broken army established by the imperial court, and even curious about the navy. Chen Hao handed over all the affairs of the Broken Army to Jiang Baili, Jiang Baili did not really lead troops in history, and he wanted Jiang Baili to have the experience of actually leading troops. When he truly becomes a warlord, he will appoint Jiang Baili as the commander of the army, responsible for commanding all the armies under his command.
The appearance of Emperor Guangxu in Guizhou had a greater impact on players, and almost every player was dumbfounded when they learned the news. The plot of Emperor Guangxu's death has been changed, where will history go in the future? Xuanyuan Jian and the others were even more annoyed, regretting that they didn't go to the palace to do this task whimsically, and now let Chen Ba pick up the big bargain first.
With the Guangxu Emperor in the Guizhou base area, it can not only attract a lot of talents, but also have very high task authority. Chen Baxian's strength in Guizhou is already strong, if he has a reputation, it is estimated that the governor of Guizhou will not be useful to him. While most people were still complacent about being a petty official, he had already climbed to the top and had a very big advantage in the competition in the Huaxia District.
The heads of more than a dozen major forces gave up competition with each other, regarded Chen Baxian as their biggest enemy, and discussed how to break the situation in the virtual meeting room. It was Huo Qubing who suggested presiding over this meeting, and when the people came, he said straight to the point: "Chen Baxian holds the emperor in his hands, if this situation is allowed to continue, I don't think all of us here need to develop anymore." β
Ying Yu said with a gloomy face: "I agree with Huo Quzhi's opinion, Chen Baxian is indeed very rebellious, and he can always do the next shocking big thing." He has a lot of official positions in the imperial court from the beginning, so he can always take a big advantage, originally I was going to wait until Xinhai when he had no position advantage to deal with him, but now it seems that it will not be possible.
