PS: (The New Year has become a New Year's holiday, go to other people's New Year's greetings, wait for other people's New Year's greetings, accompany friends to get engaged, every day is muddy, there is time to update after starting to work, I'm sorry everyone, resume from today)
Chen Hao and Cai Ye had a very pleasant meeting, and with Jiang Baili, a general who graduated from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, Cai Ye was not so reluctant to work under Chen Hao. However, Cai Ye did not enter the Broken Army, and he chose to stay in the NPC army in Guizhou.
Although Guizhou's army is basically under his own control, Chen Hao is still a little worried about the variables, because there are still some revolutionary parties in Guizhou who are not his henchmen. Cai Ye stayed in Guizhou, so that Chen Hao did not have to worry about him being co-opted by other players, but Cai Ye may be on the side of the revolutionary party after the Wuchang Uprising.
Chen Hao's current cooperation with the revolutionary party is quite pleasant, that is the common interests of both sides, he needs the revolutionary party to brush up his prestige, and the revolutionary party has taken a fancy to the army in his hands. When the Wuchang Uprising is victorious, the revolutionaries will definitely implement a democratic republic, and Chen Hao, who has always believed in constitutional monarchy, must make a choice.
The revolutionaries will definitely welcome Chen Hao's belief in democracy and republic, and will also give him a high status, which is Chen Hao's pursuit. It's a pity that now his goal has changed, his ass decides his head, and after mastering his strong strength, he doesn't want to put his army in the hands of Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing and others.
It is true that Sun Yat-sen was a great revolutionary, and Huang Xing also made great contributions to the revolution, but their military command level is really not flattering. Historically, it was because of the constant defeat in Wuhan that the revolutionary party had to compromise with Yuan Shikai. In the end, Yuan Shikai became the president of the Republic of China.
The revolutionary party made a dowry for others, and it was Yuan Shikai who ultimately benefited, so Chen Hao did not have the slightest benefit from standing on the side of the revolutionary party. Even if you want to become someone else's vassal, choosing to stand on Lao Yuan's side will be more beneficial. After the Wuchang Uprising, he supported the revolutionary party, and if he was not able to turn the tide and change the main plot, Lao Yuan would eventually come to power.
With Lao Yuan's political skills, after taking power, the revolutionary party will definitely be vigorously purged, and Chen Hao's political status is not as good as it is now. If he chooses to secretly defect to Yuan Shikai, at least one of the positions of the Minister of the Navy and a local chief will not be able to escape, which is much more promising than following the revolutionary party.
Of course, Lao Yuan didn't end up very well. In the end, it is the world of the revolutionary party. Therefore, for Chen Hao, it is best to exist independently and become a third pole force. He is now the governor of Guangxi, and he also secretly controls Guizhou, and it is likely that he has these two provinces in his hands. He also controlled more than 90% of China's navy, and he had a great say in Yuan Shikai's bargaining with the revolutionary party. Neither side dared to offend him completely.
At that time he can sit on the ground and raise the price. Asks for the position of a Southwest Overseer. With the name and the authority of the task, at that time it can send troops to Yunnan and Sichuan, and completely control the great southwest.
People like Long Fei, Xuanyuan Jian, and Huo Quzhi have a great advantage. They have a large number of loyal subordinates at their disposal. However, when it comes to national hegemony, their manpower advantage from reality no longer exists. The war between the two warlords in the game often has tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops, and they can't have so many subordinates in reality.
The player's weapons and equipment are not easy to come by, and it is impossible to easily work for someone they don't know, and then the role of NPC troops will become greater. Chen Hao has the most powerful NPC troops in the game, and he has a high reputation on the forum, so he will definitely not suffer when participating in the warlord melee.
After sending Cai Ye and Jiang Baili away, Chen Hao locked himself in the war room of the command headquarters, and his eyes fell on the map. The four prefectures in western Guangxi are still in the hands of Huo Quzhi and Yingyu, they have strong strength in their hands, and they have a cooperative relationship with each other, and it will take a lot of effort to completely control Guangxi.
Chen Hao's only good fortune was that Long Fei had not been able to control the entire Yunnan, and Emperor Guangxu did not seal the world in the new palace in Kunming, which made him keenly feel that something might have happened to Guangxu. Due to his future memory, Chen Hao's understanding of the system is much deeper than that of Long Fei, Long Fei is too anxious, and the easiest way for the system to deal with it is to let Guangxu die.
After Guangxu's illness and death, Long Fei's status ended in the governor of Yunnan, and he was pressed by Xiliang, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and it was whimsical for him to control the whole of Yunnan. If Guangxu died, Xiliang, as a Manchurian, would most likely announce to the world and take the initiative to plead guilty to the court. , Xiliang did not send a telegram to explain the reason why Emperor Guangxu failed to ascend the throne in the new hall, it is likely that Long Fei took the risk to conceal the news of Guangxu's death.
Long Fei's choice was not wrong, Guangxu suddenly fell ill and he was in a dilemma, and he followed Xiliang to re-stand on the side of the imperial court, and he couldn't even be the governor of Yunnan. However, Long Fei chose to prevent Xiliang from taking refuge, and it was not necessarily good to conceal the news of Guangxu's death, once the matter was exposed, he would become the number one target of the imperial court.
If Chen Hao wants to become the king of the southwest, Huo Qubing and Eagle Feather in Guangxi, and Long Fei in Yunnan must all be killed. The biggest threat is Long Fei, but the small territory of Eagle Feather and Huo Qubing is also disgusting, and these three affect the whole body. If Chen Hao tried to deal with Ying Yu and Huo Qubing first, Long Fei would definitely send troops from Yunnan to support, and at the same time, he would be powerless to face the three Chen Hao.
If Chen Hao chooses to attack Yunnan and control Yungui first, he will also be harassed by many parties. Eagle Feather, Huo Quai, and Hunan's Xuanyuan Sword, it will be even more difficult for him to be pinched from several sides, so he has no good way. After discovering that Long Fei might encounter a crisis this time, he felt that this was a very good opportunity, and if he could take the opportunity to occupy a part of Yunnan, he would not be so passive.
If Long Fei had already killed his benefactor Xiliang, the exposure of this matter would have a huge impact on him, and the imperial court would immediately declare him a thief. The task authority of the imperial court is extremely large, if a large number of player troops are recruited, and the surrounding provinces are ordered to suppress Long Fei, Chen Hao's opportunity to fish in troubled waters will come.
After making up his mind, Chen Hao chose to sleep and quit the game, in order to confirm Guangxu's condition, the next day he ordered the telegraph of the headquarters to send a telegram to Yunnan. In the telegram, Chen Hao said that Guangxu came to the southwest remote place and had been living in the governor's palace, which made him extremely sad as a minister, so he asked Guangxu to hold a ceremony immediately to officially enthrone the throne in the new palace in Kunming.
On the Yunnan side, Long Fei has imprisoned Xiliang, and is using various means to win over Xiliang's henchmen, trying to control Yunnan before the matter is exposed. It would be best if the cause of Guangxu's death could be concealed until the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, so that he could then call himself a staunch revolutionary party who had mastered the overall situation of Yunnan, and then mixed up with the position of Yunnan overseer.
This is the most ideal state, even if this is not possible, Long Fei hopes that things will be exposed later. After receiving the telegram from Chen Baxian, the governor of Guangxi, Long Fei's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, if Chen Baxian already knew the news of Guangxu's illness and death, it would be over.
Long Fei still had a trace of luck in his heart, maybe Chen Ba sent power first just to shoot Guangxu's sycophants? He ordered his subordinates to call back to Guizhou in the name of Xiliang, saying that there were still some places in the Kunming Palace that needed to be rebuilt, and the emperor would not officially enter the palace until three months later.
Chen Hao smiled when he received a call back from Yunnan, he had set up an intelligence department under his command, and Wang Yaqiao had already focused on arranging eyeliner in Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou provinces. Although it was difficult to break into the core departments of Yunnan, intelligence officers still found some clues, and the imperial palace in Kunming had been completed a week earlier.
Yunnan's call back must be greasy, and the other party called back in the name of Xiliang, that is, Xiliang is lying. But Xiliang, as a relatively well-known NPC in history, regarded Guizhou as an ally to support Guangxu, how could he hide such details? So after receiving the telegram, Chen Hao affirmed his judgment, Emperor Guangxu was mostly dead, and Long Fei was trying to secretly control Yunnan.
Chen Hao immediately ordered a telegram to the world in the name of the governor of Guangxi, saying that he had sent people to see Guangxu and Xiliang many times to no avail, but he was afraid that Emperor Guangxu had been killed. As soon as the telegram came out, the whole world was shocked, and all newspapers published the news, asking the Yunnan side to clarify the matter.
Long Fei was in a mess, and things were revealed so quickly beyond his expectations. He didn't have a good way for a while, so he called and said that the emperor was just a dragon and was currently recuperating in the Governor's Palace. After the release of the power, Guizhou did not buy it, and soon sent a message again to question, thinking that if Guangxu was really sick, Xiliang, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, should come forward to explain and explain, right?
Of course, Long Fei didn't dare to let Xiliang come forward, and now that Xiliang hates him to the core, he will definitely tell what he did. The Yunnan side remained silent, and in disguised confirmation that the telegram of Chen Baxian, the governor of Guangxi, may be true, and the world was scolded for a while. Many wavering local officials have telegraphed to support the orthodoxy of the imperial court and denounce the rebels in Yunnan.
Some governors who had already telegraphed to support Guangxu petitioned the imperial court, apparently believing that Guangxu had died. Most of these people were opportunists, trying to support Guangxu to achieve a higher status, and the news of Guangxu's death made them completely frightened. Although the Xuantong Imperial Court was extremely disdainful of these people, now the Qing Dynasty's internal and external troubles could not withstand the toss, so it issued an order to appease a group of people.
The Xuantong Imperial Court quickly issued an edict, saying that the first emperor was kidnapped and killed by strangers, and the nine anti-thieves should be exterminated. The mastermind of the hijacking of the first emperor Guangxu in the holy decree was Long Fei, the governor of Yunnan, who lived in the official residence, and the imperial court ordered all parties to be exterminated.
Long Fei was not wronged at all with this black cauldron, he welcomed Guangxu from Guizhou to Yunnan and promoted several levels to become a second-grade master, saying that he was not the main messenger and no one believed him. After the imperial court issued an order, Shen Yuqing, the governor of Guizhou, Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan, and Chen Baxian, the governor of Guangxi, sent telegrams to rebel.
Shen Yuqing, the governor of Guizhou, deserves to be a wreck, and after the aliens hijacked Guangxu into Guizhou, he basically lost the right to speak. The Yiren of Zhenyuan Mansion controlled the army and occupied the name of Emperor Guangxu's righteousness, and Shen Yuqing had no way to oppose them.
When Guangxu first arrived in Guizhou, Shen Yuqing had the idea of being close to the water, and first called to support Guangxu. It's a pity that Guangxu was controlled by the aliens, and he didn't give him much substantial benefits, but those aliens added officials one after another. (To be continued......)
