After Chen Hao called back, Li Zhun was greatly moved, and immediately conveyed Chen Hao's order to his subordinates, and Chen Hao, who was far away in Cam Ranh Bay, also received a system prompt: "Player Chen Baxian, because you stood firm in the incident related to national honor and disgrace, and took the initiative to take responsibility, Li Zhun, the deputy commander of the Guangdong Navy Division, admires you very much, and the probability of you subduing him has increased to 60%. ”

Chen Hao had a smile on his face, this was an unexpected gain, if he could subdue Li Zhun, the navy could really sit back and relax. Although he mastered the Guangdong Sailor, most of the previous sailor talents did not take refuge in him, and he did not even have the prestige of Li Zhun in the original Sailor. If he subdues Li Zhun, many officers who are capable of serving as the management of a ship will also join him, and all the navies under his command can be broken up and reorganized.

Since the beginning of the "Erchen Maru" case, Chen Hao has thought about never apologizing to the Japanese and releasing the smuggling ship, and he will not agree to any of the Japanese's conditions. The Qing court was afraid of Japan, but he was not afraid at all, the Japanese navy was defeated by him in the Tsushima Strait, what is there to be afraid of if his subordinates are defeated?

After the "Nichen Maru" incident, the major newspapers in the game have carried out overwhelming reports and have been paying attention to the progress of the situation. After the Qing court agreed to Japan's five-point demand, the whole country was in an uproar, and many newspapers denounced the court for being weak and powerless, and compromising and retreating without a bottom line. On March 19, a large number of citizens gathered on the shore, and many reporters mixed in with the crowd, because today was the time for the imperial court to promise to release the Japanese smuggling ship and the sailors to apologize.

The Briton Hurd, the Japanese minister Hayashi Quansuke, and the Portuguese minister Bodero stood on the Japanese warship Izumi, preparing to witness the scene of the Guangdong naval division firing a cannon and apologizing. After waiting for a long time to see the Guangdong Navy Division release the Erchen Maru, the Japanese Minister Lin Quanzhu ordered to dock, and the three of them found Li Zhundao, the deputy commander of the Guangdong Navy Division, in a menacing manner: "Lord Li, the time agreed by your country has arrived, why don't you release the ship?" ”

Li Zhun walked up to a high place. He said loudly: "Lord Chen, the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, said: My naval division is the naval division of the Qing Dynasty, what is wrong with performing official duties in the waters of our country?" Why release the smuggling ship and apologize? The Governor did not agree to any of the five conditions put forward by Japan and Portugal, and if Japan and Portugal were not satisfied, they could lead their fleets to fight, and the Governor would negotiate with the two countries to the end. ”

All the NPCs were stunned. Hurd's faces were extremely ugly, and the onlookers of Huaxia NPCs let out earth-shattering cheers. The reporters in the crowd were also excited, competing to interview Deputy Admiral Li Zhun, and Wang Ying, a reporter from Huaxia Daily, was the first to ask: "Lord Li, the sailor is good, and he has not done anything degrading to dignity." This refusal to carry out the orders of the imperial court, the imperial court will definitely be held responsible, what does Lord Li think about this? ”

Li Zhun Zhengse said: "Lord Chen said that he would take responsibility with all his might, but this official is the deputy governor of the water division. It should be shared with Lord Chen. ”

Li Zhun was very convinced by Chen Hao, he knew that "Huaxia Daily" was the royal newspaper of Lord Chen, so he gave the first interview opportunity to Wang Ying. After Wang Ying's interview, other reporters also raised questions, Li Zhun praised his immediate boss, and the next day, the major newspapers in the game were overwhelmed with relevant reports from Lord Chen.

When it comes to national honor and disgrace, Lord Chen Baxian is as tough as ever, and he will do whatever it takes to maintain national dignity. Once when he was in Yingkou, he robbed the warships of the imperial court. This made him a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and the imperial court reappointed him as the admiral of the Nanyang naval division. He refused the imperial court's order to apologize to the Japanese, and what would be the result that awaited him? ”

"Although Chen Baxian was a court official and had brutally suppressed the uprising of the Guangfuhui, he had to say that he was an iron-clad man. The imperial court was forced to agree to the five conditions of the Japanese under pressure, but Lord Chen said no to them loudly, and he would not agree to any of the Japanese's conditions. Japan will certainly not rest on its laurels in this situation. They will put further pressure on the imperial court, and Lord Chen has once again been pushed to the forefront. ”

"Lord Chen Baxian said that if Japan and Portugal are not convinced, they can lead their fleets to fight. In recent years, our country has been humiliated one after another, and no one has dared to speak so confidently for a long time. I, the Great Qing Kingdom, can reprimand me so righteously and sternly only Lord Chen. He annihilated hundreds of thousands of Russians during the Northeast War, and in the Battle of Tsushima, he led the fleet to annihilate the main Japanese force. ”

The newspapers in the game this time all reported positively on Chen Hao, which quickly offset the impact of his killing of Qiu Jin and others. When Chen Hao of Cam Ranh Bay boarded the deck of the Sun Wu, he received a system prompt: "Player Chen Baxian, because your behavior of upholding national dignity has been recognized by the mainstream media, your prestige attribute has increased by 12 points. ”

After Chen Hao "killed" Qiu Jin and others, his reputation had dropped to 74 points, and his tough performance this time earned back impression points. Now his reputation is as high as 86 points, such a high reputation is definitely a game celebrity, and if he leads his troops to assess the rebellion after returning to Guizhou, there will be absolutely no one to compete with him in the election of the Overseer.

Hurd, Hayashi Quansuke, and Borod left with grim faces, and the three quickly reported back to China, and Japan and Portugal quickly reacted. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs submitted a strongly worded statement to the Qing court, re-proposing six conditions, one more than the previous five, and the sixth was to punish Chen Baxian for his outrageous remarks.

The Portuguese side was also furious, thinking that Chen Ba opened his mouth to provoke the Portuguese Navy first, and he had to give him a little color. The Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanded that Chen Baxian be removed from his post and taken to office, and at the same time demanded that the Qing government accede to all the demands of the Japanese, otherwise the powerful Portuguese navy would unite with the Japanese navy to seek justice.

After receiving the notes from the two countries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing court was greatly dissatisfied, and was extremely dissatisfied with Chen Baxian's unauthorized provocation of Japan and Portugal, and believed that it should be dealt with. However, Chen Ba was Lafayette's celebrity first, and Foreign Minister Qu Hongji did not dare to mess around, so he immediately entered the palace to see Cixi and asked Cixi for a holy judgment.

After Cen Chunxuan was taken down, Qu Hongji's life was not easy, Yuan Shikai had been eyeing him, and he had to be cautious. After the establishment of Cixi, Qu Hongji reported what happened, and then said excitedly: "Queen Mother, Chen Baxian provoked foreigners without authorization, and now Japan and Portugal have claimed that they want to start a war with our country, and they must give an explanation to the foreigners." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi has only a few months to live, but Lafayette is old and spicy, and he has always held the power of the court before his death. She died on November 14, but the day before she died, Emperor Guangxu just died. This is unlikely to be a coincidence, Cixi staged a coup d'état and put Emperor Guangxu under house arrest, Guangxu must have been full of resentment towards her, and she did not want to be settled by Guangxu after her death.

After listening to Qu Hongji's report, Cixi waved her hand and said, "Lord Qu, Chen Ba first controls a large number of ironclad ships in Cam Ranh Bay, even if he is dismissed, how to handle it, Lord Qu has a way?" ”

Qu Hongji was speechless for a while: "This ...... Chen Baxian is indeed very tricky, this person is lawless, no matter how difficult it is, he must deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise he will only cause trouble for the imperial court. The Empress Dowager did not follow the order to summon Chen Ba to Beijing first for questioning, and then put Chen Ba under house arrest in the heavenly prison and sent someone to take over the Nanyang Naval Division. ”

Cixi said lightly: "Although Chen Baxian is unruly, he is aimed at foreigners, and he has always been loyal to the imperial court, is the idea of Lord Qu too much?" ”

After the player is in prison, they can commit suicide and get out of prison, but at that time, many special prisons could not get out even if they committed suicide for a while. For example, if the Manchu Dynasty's highest-level prison is imprisoned and commits suicide and leaves, it will have to wait at least five years after the game. In other words, five years must be spent in the prison, which is the most severe punishment for the player, and Qu Hongji's viciousness can be seen.

Qu Hongji is not selfish in doing this, he and his old friend Cen Chunxuan are in the same faction, and it is difficult to say that Cen Chunxuan's resignation has nothing to do with Chen Baxian. When Cen Chunxuan was the governor of Liangguang, Chen Baxian had been against his old friend, who was quite dissatisfied with him in his letters. Now Chen Baxian disobeyed the order of the imperial court and did not apologize to the foreigners, and also made remarks to provoke the foreigners, just taking him down to vent his anger for his old friend.

Qu Hongji knows Lafayette's style very well, once he angers the foreign adults, no matter whether he does it correctly or not, he will definitely be unlucky. Although Chen Baxian is favored, the disaster he broke into this time is too great, and Lafayette is afraid and will not forgive him. If Chen Ba is taken down first, he can not only explain to the foreigners and reduce the pressure on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also get rid of an enemy.

After listening to the words of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Qu Hongji was not in a hurry, and he played: "Empress Dowager, I also know that Chen Baxian is loyal to the imperial court, but he has repeatedly provoked foreigners, if he does not take the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there is no way to negotiate, if Japan and Portugal lead the fleet to come, I am afraid that there will be another tragedy in the First Wu Year!" ”

"Humph! Since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no way to negotiate, then what do I want you to do as Minister of Foreign Affairs, you can roll up and go home! Keep saying that foreigners are not easy to explain, are you doing things for foreigners or for the court? What is so terrible about the foreigners, the Japanese are so arrogant, they were not beaten by Chen Ba first, they would send a fleet if they wanted to. ”

Empress Dowager Cixi's attitude made Qu Hongji stunned, he didn't expect Cixi to remove him from his official position in a few words, and also reprimanded him. Just when he was stunned, he only heard the Empress Dowager Cixi add again: "You ask yourself, are you targeting Chen Baxian so completely out of public intentions?" Go back and reflect on it first! When do you understand and come back to be an official? ”

After Qu Hongji walked out, he still couldn't understand why the Empress Dowager Cixi, who had always been afraid of foreigners, could face the threat of Japan and Portugal so calmly. Qu Hongji made Cixi dissatisfied because of this, Cixi was not afraid of Japan and Portugal, so she was very unhappy with his proposal. (To be continued......)
