It was not surprising that Yuan Shikai sent someone to find him on behalf of the imperial court, Chen Hao, when he first settled in Cam Ranh Bay, Lao Yuan had already sent an envoy over. Lao Yuan said that he would try his best to mediate in front of Lafayette, and strive to let Chen Hao get Lafayette's understanding, so that he could relax and continue to serve the imperial court.

Chen Hao knew Lao Yuan's personality, and he was willing to send people all the way to Nanyang, and he must have received Cixi's approval. He first sent someone to say that he would try his best to mediate, because he wanted Chen Hao to be grateful to him, not to the Empress Dowager Cixi. In the final analysis, Lao Yuan fell in love with the warship in his hand and wanted to take him under his command.

Chen Hao pretended to be confused, he was very willing to be co-opted by Lao Yuan, because Lao Yuan was the president of the Republic of China. Before Lao Yuan became emperor, if he could mix the identity of a naval commander with a fleet in his hand, he could not only take the opportunity to swallow those warships of the imperial court, but also have political capital after the fall of Lao Yuan, and be more comfortable in the process of warlord melee.

Yuan Shikai's envoy has been back for a while, and it should have arrived during this time, most likely this time Cixi sent an envoy to announce the decree. When Lao Yuan's people were in Cam Ranh Bay, Chen Hao euphemistically said that he was under the fence in Nanyang, and Vietnam had always been a subject country of the Qing Dynasty before, and if he could have a suitable identity in Vietnam, he hoped that one day he could follow the allusions of Lord Yuan in Korea and do the next big thing for the imperial court.

Chen Hao mentioned this to the envoy in a roundabout way, he wanted Vietnam to hang up an official position in the imperial court. When Yuan Shikai was in Korea, he quelled the "Renwu Military Rebellion" and the "Jiashen Coup", and at the age of 26, he had a minister of "the prime minister stationed in North Korea to negotiate trade matters", and became the veritable emperor of North Korea. Chen Hao mentioned this to the envoy, in addition to euphemistically patting Lao Yuan's ass to show his attitude, mainly for a legal identity.

After the Qing Dynasty signed a contract with France, Vietnam was no longer a subject country of the Qing Dynasty. The imperial court is no longer qualified to appoint Chen Hao to such a position. Even if the imperial court had the intention to appoint Chen Hao, he could only grant official positions in private, and did not dare to make such positions public. It stands to reason that Chen Hao's official position that he does not dare to publicize publicly is of little use, but Chen Hao is interested, because there are still Chinese NPCs like the Black Flag Army in Vietnam, and there is a position that is convenient for him to woo these NPCs.

Chen Hao has ambitions for Vietnam. Even if he can't really control Vietnam because of the large number of Vietnamese players, he wants to one day become the emperor like Yuan Shikai in Korea. The French are not vegetarians, and with Chen Hao's strength, they don't dare to do that for the time being, but it's always a good thing to fight for a legal identity.

The people of the revolutionary party in Cam Ranh Bay and the imperial court did not know that the other party existed, and Chen Hao did not hesitate to choose to meet the angels of the imperial court first, leaving the revolutionary party in half. Although the revolutionary party at this stage revolted everywhere, it could not become a big thing, and they kept adding chaos when Chen Hao was still in China. This time, I saw that Chen Hao occupied Cam Ranh Bay and had an ironclad ship in his hand. It is estimated that he came to advocate the revolution again, so that Chen Hao firmly stood on the side of the revolutionary party.

Chen Hao returned to the headquarters first, and then instructed Shuanghui to bring the imperial envoy over in harmony. The eunuch in charge of delivering the decree was a eunuch, and next to him was a middle-aged Confucian scholar, who was Yuan Shikai's man, and he came to ventilate in advance last time. After the Empress Dowager Cixi agreed to appease Chen Hao, Yuan Shikai sent him as the eunuch's guide and brought the eunuch to Cam Ranh Bay.

The eunuch was terrified along the way. There was resentment in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend Chen Hao. He screamed and said, "Pass on the Queen Mother's message." Although Chen Baxian was extremely reckless in Yingkou and provoked British and Japanese international friends, he was loyal to the country after all. Today, Chen Baxian is appointed as the "Minister of Commerce and Trade Affairs of the Prime Minister stationed in Vietnam", and he is the title of the third grade, and he is not to blame for the affairs of Yingkou. ”

After the eunuch read out the Empress Dowager Cixi's message, he said with a smile: "Lord Chen, Lafayette said it." Your official position is recognized by the court, but after all, this is the territory of the French, and I hope you don't show it around. ”

Chen Hao patted his chest and promised: "The tired angel told Lafayette that Baxian has always been loyal to the court and loyal to Lafayette." This heart can be learned every day! In the future, I will grasp the balance in Vietnam, share the worries of the court well, and I will not embarrass Lafayette. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi asked the eunuch to add such a sentence, the purpose was obvious, she wanted Chen Hao's fleet to be loyal, but she was unwilling to let Chen Hao cause trouble for her in Vietnam. Chen Hao didn't mind being used by him, anyway, there would be no more naval battles until the Empress Dowager Cixi returned to the Western Qing Dynasty, and he didn't have to lose his strength to serve the imperial court.

After Chen Hao received the order, he quietly put two gold bars in the eunuch's sleeve, and the eunuch surnamed Wu, who was originally resentful, smiled. He quipped: "There is only one person who can be promoted and make a fortune by disobeying Lafayette's order, and Lord Chen is worthy of being the pillar of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Chen Hao smiled slightly: "Thank you for the angel lifting!" I have prepared a feast, and I will invite the angels to enjoy it later. ”

Eunuch Wu left Chen Hao's headquarters, and the middle-aged scholar sent by Yuan Shikai glanced at Chen Hao meaningfully before leaving. After the two returned to their residence, Chen Hao instructed Shuanghui to find the middle-aged scholar in harmony and privately.

After the middle-aged scholar returned to the headquarters, Chen Hao greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Liu, we meet again, Mr. Lao is running back and forth, and Baxian is grateful." ”

Mr. Liu smiled faintly and said, "Lord Chen is serious!" I am also doing things for Lord Zhongtang, and it is Yuan Zhongtang who should be thanked, but he is just an errand runner. This time, in order to get the Queen Mother to promise to pardon Lord Chen, Lord Zhongtang took a lot of words. ”

Chen Hao said solemnly: "I have always admired Lord Zhongtang the most, and I offended international friends in Yingkou on the spur of the moment and was condemned by the imperial court. I must keep in mind the great kindness and virtue of the Lord of the Middle Hall, and as long as the Lord of the Middle Hall is called in the future, I will not hesitate to break my bones. ”

After Chen Hao said that Mr. Liu achieved the purpose of the mission, he suddenly relaxed a lot, and said with a smile: "Lord Chen has always liked to cultivate, and the future of adults is immeasurable, maybe I will have to rely on adults to support me in the future." ”

"Mr. praised it falsely, the last school is backward, and I will give more advice to Mr. in the future......"

Yuan Shikai's messenger is named Liu Wencai, Chen Hao has never heard of this person's name, but he is Lao Yuan's staff anyway, when Chen Hao first came, Chen Hao instructed Yang Du to use "eyesight" stunts to see. Liu Wencai's scheming attributes are not high, but he has 82 points in management, and he can be regarded as a talent, and Chen Hao is quite polite to him.

After Liu Wencai took his leave, Chen Hao instructed Shuanghui to summon the representatives of the revolutionary party to the headquarters, and after a while, three representatives walked in. Chen Hao didn't ask who the representative of the revolutionary party was, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the person coming, and then greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Sister Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The representatives of the revolutionary party were three women, and the leader was Tang Qunying, who helped Chen Hao a lot in the northeast. Tang Qunying was idle at home for a long time, and Qiu Jin, who was good friends with her, studied in Japan and invited her to go east to Japan. Originally, she arrived in Japan in the autumn of 1904 and joined the Huaxing Society and the League the following year, and Sun Yat-sen praised her as "the first female compatriot to enter the revolutionary ranks, and the leader of 20,000 female compatriots", but due to the huge influence caused by Chen Hao in the game, this plot has changed.

Chen Hao has tens of thousands of elite troops in his hands, and there are more than a dozen ironclad ships, which makes the revolutionary party that has always thought that he is inclined to revolution tempted. Sun Wen personally ordered the revolutionary party to contact Chen Hao, and because Tang Qunying had cooperated with him in the northeast, the revolutionary party developed Tang Qunying into a member of the Huaxing Association in advance, and sent her to Cam Ranh Bay to encourage Chen Hao to launch an uprising.

Seeing Chen Hao's enthusiastic face, Tang Qunying also smiled, feeling that Chen Hao had not changed because of the change of identity, she smiled: "The power in your hands is getting stronger and stronger, I thought you didn't recognize me as the eldest sister, and you were no longer inclined to revolution!" ”

Chen Hao said: "Eldest sister, I definitely want to admit it, but to be honest, I'm really not interested in revolution anymore." ”

Tang Qunying said in surprise: "Why does Little Brother Chen say this? ”

Chen Hao sneered: "I have always sympathized with the revolution, and I also want to overthrow the corrupt imperial court, I thought that your revolutionary party was a like-minded person, but what happened some time ago was too disappointing." Sister Tang, after I robbed the foreigner warship at Yingkou, you can't know what the revolutionary party's attitude is towards me, right? ”

Tang Qunying was speechless for a while, and when Chen Hao robbed the warship at Yingkou, the imperial court ordered him to be arrested. Compared with the practice of the imperial court revolutionary party, it is even more chilling, and many revolutionaries are active in Japan, so they feel that Chen Hao is really stupid to provoke international friends with three indiscriminate means. Many revolutionaries wrote articles condemning Chen Hao's behavior, and some high-ranking members of the revolutionary party even came forward to express their position, saying that they could not allow a black sheep like Chen Hao to join the revolutionary party when he was wanted by the imperial court and had no way out.

Chen Hao's seizure of warships provoked the powerful British and Japanese, and the revolutionaries felt that he was killing himself, and did not think that the strength at hand could be preserved. Because of this, although the top level of the revolutionary party did not fall into the ground, they did not distinguish even a word for Chen Hao.

Tang Qunying is a reasonable person, so she feels that Chen Hao's complaints can be understood, and after being silent for a long time, she sighed and said: "At that time, your approach was a little too radical, and it is normal for revolutionary comrades to have different opinions, so you don't have to think too much." ”

Chen Hao sneered: "I don't care what the revolutionary comrades think, and I'm not interested in knowing, anyway, I'm not a revolutionary." I used to be an official in the imperial court, but now even if I am desperate, I have no interest in the revolutionary party, and I will not beg the revolutionary party to take me in. ”

Tang Qunying saw Chen Hao's attitude, and didn't know how to persuade for a while, at this time a girl behind her said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you like this, Sister Tang has explained to you, you still speak so ugly, do you want to continue to be a lackey of the court?" (To be continued......)
