Chapter 512: The End

PS: (Thank you for the sad things, the precious monthly pass of eternal love)

After Chen Hao got Lu Rongting, he went to the governor's yamen again to visit Zhang Mingqi, hoping that Zhang Mingqi would send a note to Pang Hongshu, the governor of Guizhou, to cooperate with the suppression of bandits. After receiving the official letter from the Guangxi Governor Yamen, Pang Hongshu immediately dispatched six new battalions from the Guizhou Military Training Office to Tongren and Zhenyuan Liping to investigate and exercise the revolutionary party bandits.

Pang Hongshu was cautious, and he was deeply afraid that the revolutionaries would take responsibility for the uprising in Guizhou, so he attached great importance to this matter. In addition to the new military camp where the training office was dispatched, Pang Hongshu also issued an official document to the three prefectures, strictly prohibiting the three prefectures from adding new base areas within one year. If a large number of strangers have flowed into Sanfu in the near future, the revolutionary party will be located and the bandits will be located, and the new military camp will be ordered to cooperate with the Guangxi army to exterminate it.

The three Xuanyuan Jian had already given up attacking Zhenyuan Mansion, they just wanted to leave a part of the troops in Guizhou, and then interfere with Chen Baxian's development and growth. Each of the three forces sent 10,000 people into Tongren Mansion and Liping Mansion, preparing to scatter the two prefectures to establish base areas, and some of them had already established base areas, and the official letter of the Guizhou Governor Yamen made them dumbfounded.

All the new base areas were abolished, and the imperial army in Guangxi, led by Long Jiguang and Lu Rongting, entered Guizhou and began to arrest the bandits everywhere. The imperial army's army was not much, and the 4,000 new troops in Guizhou were only more than 10,000 people, but Xuanyuan Jian and others did not dare to let their subordinates fight hard with the imperial army.

If the troops under the three Xuanyuan Swords went to war with Chen Hao, it would be a battle between players, and the imperial court would not care. At first, the imperial armies in Guangxi and Guizhou were official troops, and if they resisted, all their subordinates would become thieves. At that time, the imperial court will definitely order the surrounding provinces to encircle and suppress, and will also issue the task of exterminating the bandits to the majority of players.

Xuanyuan Jian sighed, this is the role of the official position of the imperial court. Players have a lot of resources at their disposal to increase their social status in the game. When Chen Hao was in Yingkou as the official governor of Zhengwupin, Xuanyuan Jian was afraid of his official position, and wanted to use tricks to make Chen Hao lose his status in the imperial court. It's a pity that up to now, Chen Hao has not only not been removed from his post by the imperial court, but has also risen all the way to become a first-class admiral.

Xuanyuan Jian himself had no official position in the imperial court, because he instigated Zengqi to rebel and become a thief. So he invested money in the camp of his scheming players. Now the highest-ranking player under him is only Zhengwupin, although it has helped him to establish a base in Hunan, but now this kind of cross-provincial combat is useless at all.

Huo Tiancai is better than Xuanyuan Sword, he has been developing in Hubei with peace of mind, and has held the position of Cong Sipin in the Governor's Yamen. Huo Tiancai has won the trust of Zhang Zhidong in the past two years, and in January Zhang Zhidong set up a gendarmerie in Huguang, and Huo Tiancai became the commander of the gendarmerie after completing the relevant tasks. He has a good status in Huguang, but his authority is still not enough, and no matter how much Zhang Zhidong trusts him, it is impossible for him to negotiate with the two governors of Guangxi and Guizhou.

The worst mixed up is Eagle Feather. He spent a lot of energy on Cen Chunxuan, wanting to gain a certain amount of political capital before Cen Chunxuan's downfall. Because he was ambitious to develop the navy, Cen Chunxuan assigned him the position of the Guangdong Naval Division, and he planned to climb up the ranks of the Guangdong Naval Division step by step and turn some warships of the Guangdong Naval Division into his own private property in the Xinhai year.

Eagle Feather's position in the naval division is already the commander, in charge of four torpedo boats, and then he can become the top of the naval division. For this reason, he spent a lot of money to drill the camp, whether it was the general of the sailor battalion or the help of the Whampoa Shipyard, he got a lot of benefits. Seeing that everything was going well, the imperial court issued an order to appoint Chen Hao as the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division. Let everything he do is in vain.

The imperial court not only decreed that Chen Hao should concurrently serve as the commander of the Guangdong Navy, but also gave him the authority to appoint and dismiss officials after he took the initiative to donate warships. A group of officers who did not obey Chen Hao's command were taken down by him, Ying Yu, a player official, of course Chen Hao would not give him any chance, and he removed Ying Yu's position on the day he took office.

Eagle Feather's efforts in the past two years have come to naught. The official position of the sailor is gone, and the Whampoa Shipyard can no longer get involved. What's even more tragic is that Chen Hao killed everything, used the expansion of the shipyard as a name to get rid of his base, and extorted him a lot of machines and workshops. Eagle Feather's hatred for Chen Hao is like a surging river, but no matter how much he hates, it is useless. He could only lead his subordinates into Guangxi like a lost dog, trying to establish another mountain in Guangxi.

Eagle Feather's choice is really not very wise, Chen Hao's long-term plan is southwest, he has no ambition for Guangdong, but Guangxi he must be in his hands. He had already applied to the imperial court that Guangxi would soon have two more military ports, Qinzhou and Beihai, which would become the main garrisons of the naval division.

After Chen Hao changed the location of the naval division to Guangxi, of course, he would secretly plan some interests for himself, such as he could establish a base in Qinzhou and near Beihai. After the fall of Cen Chunxuan, he, a celebrity in the imperial court, had a good relationship with Zhang Mingqi, and during Zhang Mingqi's tenure as governor of Guangxi, he occupied a great initiative in Guangxi.

For the time being, Chen Hao is not ready to enter Guangxi in an all-round way, so his energy will be consumed in fighting with Eagle Feather, but he will not allow anyone to get involved in Guizhou. He first took advantage of the advantages of the naval division to build several base areas along the coast, maintained his presence in Guangxi, and waited until he took control of Guizhou, and then attacked Guangxi on both sides to compete with Eagle Feather.

After the three of Xuanyuan Jian met again, Xuanyuan Jian said categorically: "Give up!" Before Xinhai, Chen Baxian had too much advantage in the official, and we suffered too much to compete with him. I am going to withdraw people to Hunan, it is too expensive to stay here, Huo Dashao, you can decide where your people will evacuate, but don't forget the agreement that you can only live in Nanning Mansion. ”

Huo Quzhi said lightly: "I have my own measure, this time the three of us want to kill Chen Baxian with great momentum, but in the end, this is the result, this face is embarrassed." ”

Xuanyuan Jian smiled indifferently and said: "The battle in the game is also all-round, not only depending on the military strength of the subordinates, but also on their respective means. We instigated players to deal with Chen Baxian on the forum, but he reversed the army, and since then we have been extremely passive, and it is not interesting to continue to entangle. ”

Ying Yu was very unhappy in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "The two of you provoked Chen Baxian and patted their butts and left, but I want to take root in Guangxi, how can a person face his revenge?" ”

Huo Quzhi shook his head and said: "I still have a lot of troops in Nanning Mansion, if Chen Baxian really enters Guangxi to fight with you, of course I will be on your side." ”

Xuanyuan Jian also nodded and said: "Don't worry about Zhang Dashao, Chen Baxian does not have the ability to occupy Guangxi, his center of gravity is in Guizhou." You don't have to worry about him when you develop in Guangxi in the past two years, and when he wants to occupy Guangxi in Guizhou, we will definitely stop him at any cost. ”

The three Xuanyuan Swords gave up their plans to continue to enter Guizhou, and Chen Hao successfully kept the base of Zhenyuan Mansion, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. He attaches great importance to the base area in Guizhou, which is related to whether he can really control Guizhou in the Xinhai year, and it is extremely important to his plan.

After Chen Hao got the support of the imperial court, he had no problem dealing with the three forces, but he was still unwilling to fight with the three of them and delay time. The Russo-Japanese War has been going on for more than three years, and Japan and Russia have done their best for this war, and now it is almost coming to fruition.

After the main force of the Japanese navy was annihilated, Russia had the upper hand for a long time, and they sent a large number of troops into Korea to fight. Russian players are also very active, participating in the missions issued by the NPCs to fight against Japan alongside the NPCs. But it was not only the Russians who were active, but also the Japanese players, in addition to investing heavily in the purchase of warships, also signed up to fight to defend Korea.

The Russians occupied the Northern Dynasty for a time, but under the command of General Oyama Iwa, the Japanese army fought guerrilla warfare without naval support and always firmly controlled the Southern Korea. In 1906, when the advantage was greatest, the commander of the Russian Far East Army, Kulopatkin, boasted in front of the Tsar that he could drive the Japanese into the sea in three months, but was defeated by the troops of Daeshanam in Seoul in the decisive battle, and lost the advantage in Korea.

After the decisive battle of Seoul, the superiority of the Russian army was already minimal, and both sides were in a stalemate on Korean soil, neither of which was capable of annihilating the other. The Russians continued to increase their forces in the Far East, reaching their limit in 1906, and it was impossible to continue to increase their forces after failing to drive the Japanese out into the sea. And the Japanese army was short of supplies, and every time the navy took a huge risk to send supplies, it would always lose some ships, and the cost was too great.

This balance of power was very unfavorable to the Russians, and they could not defeat their opponents with naval superiority, and once they lost their naval superiority, it was time for Japan to counterattack. The Japanese NPC government and players ordered a large number of warships, and after the game time entered 1907, one dreadnought and four Invincible-class battlecruisers were commissioned one after another, and the Russians no longer had an advantage at sea.

The Japanese have not yet launched a naval operation, since they have more ships waiting to be commissioned. The losses in the Battle of Tsushima were too great, and although the latest types of warships were purchased, they differed too much from the Russians in the number of ships. While ordering more cruisers, the Japanese government issued missions to players to join the Imperial Navy if they owned cruisers and destroyers.

The Russians apparently understood this, and from 1906 Tsar Nicholas II began to plan the construction of new battleships, eliminating the old ones behind the building. The Tsar's revolutionary breakthrough in design and performance during the Battle of Tsushima attracted the Tsar, who ordered Russian shipyards to build four Dreadnought-class battleships to cope with the new wave of naval armament.

The tsar demanded that the four new battleships reach a speed of 21 knots and be armed with 12 305-mm main guns and 16 120-mm secondary guns. This new type of battleship was in keeping with the tradition of the Russian Navy, with heavy firepower and light speed. (To be continued......)
