Xuanyuan Jian saw that Zeng Qi had been moved by what he said, and he was very crazy about the way he thought of for Zeng Qi. This visit to Zengqi was originally to ask Zengqi to pay attention to precautions, but he didn't expect that Chen Baxian had already done it, and the imperial court also issued a holy decree. At that time, after hearing that Zengqi would be removed from his post by the porter, Xuanyuan Jian immediately decided to lobby Zengqi and let Zengqi raise the banner to rebel.

Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was already in turmoil, it was still a long way before the Xinhai year, and he believed that the system would not allow the Qing Dynasty to collapse in a short time. It would definitely not work for him to rebel openly himself, but it would be different if Zengqi rebelled, Zengqi was a local member of the imperial court, and he could ask for autonomy in Shengjing.

Zengqi's dismissal is related to Xuanyuan Jian's establishment of a base in Benxi, Zengqi, a first-class member, has been taken down, and he, a small man, has definitely become a thief. Xuanyuan Sword believes in the monarch**, and it will be very difficult to mix after being blacklisted by the imperial court, anyway, the result is already very bad, it is better to bewitch Zengqi to rebel and fish in troubled waters.

After Zengqi announced that Shengjing would not accept orders from the imperial court, he could act as a think tank by Zengqi's side. Although Zeng Qi did not personally lead the troops, a large part of Shengjing's army was in the hands of Jin Chang, but there were also many officers under Zeng Qi who were loyal. Zeng Qi no longer obeyed the orders of the imperial court, at that time he was obedient to his words, and the army in Zengqi's hands, plus the players and NPCs recruited by Benxi, was enough to fight Chen Baxian and Jin Chang.

Jin Chang's troops had to guard against the Russians, so they had an absolute advantage in terms of strength to deal with Chen Baxian, and even if they failed, they could destroy Chen Baxian's camp first. What's more important is that without the constraints of the imperial court, Xuanyuan Jian, as Zengqi's henchman, can do whatever he wants, he can send troops to continue to expand, and in the end, he can even support Zengqi as a puppet and completely control Shengjing Province.

Xuanyuan Sword's plan had a certain chance of success, and the Qing court's control over the local area was already extremely weak, and when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded, the southeastern provinces shouted the slogan of "Southeast Mutual Protection", and did not send troops north to support the imperial court. In the late Qing Dynasty, the power of local governors was already great, but the northeast was the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, and the control of the imperial court was stronger.

If Zengqi learns from the governor in the south to shout the slogan of autonomy, the Empress Dowager Cixi, who is still in Chang'an, wants to suppress it, and it is beyond the reach of the whip, so it is the best opportunity to stand on her own. Hearing Zengqi ask Xuanyuan Jian, he smiled and said: "Actually, the solution is very simple, since the imperial court wants to remove the lord, as long as the lord ignores the holy decree of the imperial court and continues to serve as the general of Shengjing." ”

Zengqi was furious and said, "You mean to let me resist the decree? Now I know that you harbor evil intentions and want to be a rebel and thief, which has caused me to lose my official position, and now you want to drag me into the water. ”

Xuanyuan Jian sighed and said, "If the adults return to the capital, it will be fish meat on the chopping board. If someone is sent to intercept and kill the angel who delivered the decree on the road and declares the autonomy of Shengjing, not only will the adults not encounter danger, but they will not have to look at the faces of others in the future, what is wrong with this? ”

Zeng Qi's face changed and said: "With the strength of my troops, what if the autonomous court sends troops to suppress it?" ”

Xuanyuan Jian said confidently: "This adult doesn't have to worry at all, now the Russian army is still in the northeast, and Shoushan can't draw troops." The troops of Jinchang in the south were also pinned down by the Russians, and Changshun in the east had already taken refuge in the Russians, and his collaborator and betrayal of the country had been known by the imperial court. ”

Seeing Zengqi's hesitation, Xuanyuan Jian gave him another shot of strength and said: "The governors of the southeastern provinces also have the heart to be autonomous, and after the lord declares autonomy, he will definitely be able to get their support." At that time, the adults were in power, and I recruited a large number of soldiers to accumulate strength to assist the adults, and in the future, the entire Northeast will be the adults, and you have the final say. ”

Zeng Qi was stunned for a long time, and after calculating the gains and losses, he felt that it was really likely that he would be killed when he returned to the capital. Although the declaration of Shengjing's autonomy is also risky, if it can be successful, it will be like those governors in the south, and it will be much more fearful than now.

Zeng Qi also knew that if he declared self-reliance, his troops were insufficient, and he needed Xuanyuan Sword to recruit soldiers to help, and after making up his mind, he said to Xuanyuan Jian: "Xuanyuan, since the imperial court has listened to the rumors that it wants to remove me from his post and investigate, I will listen to your announcement that Shengjing is self-reliant." It's just that my troops are insufficient, and I still need more help from you, if you can help me gain a foothold in Shengjing, I will be rewarded in the future. ”

"Player Xuanyuan Sword, NPC Shengjing General Zengqi issued the mission 'Shengjing Self-reliance' to you. Task completion conditions: After Zengqi announced Shengjing's independence, help Zengqi repel the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army. Reward: After helping Zengqi become self-reliant, you have great authority in the Shengjing area, and you can continue to expand your base and army. Are you looking for a task? ”

"Inhuman Xuanyuan Sword, the mission released by General Sheng Jing Zengqi is an active large-scale regional mission, and this mission will only be triggered because of you. If you fail the mission, you will be punished by the system, and everything you have in the Shengjing area will be destroyed, so please consider carefully before making a decision. ”

Of course, Xuanyuan Jian chose to accept the task, even if he didn't bewitch Zengqi to rebel, the Empress Dowager Cixi had already determined that he was a thief, and it would be better if he would not rebel. If Zeng Qi declares that he is successful in self-reliance, he will no longer be inferior to Chen Baxian in terms of official status, Chen Baxian can come to this point because of the appreciation of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Zeng Qi can not care about the imperial court when he declares that he is successful in self-reliance, and Xuanyuan Jian gets more power than Chen Baxian.

Xuanyuan Jian arched his hand towards Zengqi and said: "This matter started because of me, I should do my best to assist the adult, but please rest assured." Now Chen Baxian doesn't know the will of the imperial court, nor does he know the plans of the adults, why don't the adults recruit him and the important personnel under him to Shengjing and take them down in one fell swoop, so that after controlling the army in Yingkou, the adults will have sufficient troops, and there will be no worries. ”

"Good way!" Zeng Qi exclaimed: "I am not thin on that Chen Baxian, he actually united with Jin Chang and others to slander the queen of heaven, and if I don't kill him, I only hate it in my heart." I immediately sent someone to Yingkou to deliver an order, pretending to discuss the recapture of Jilin, and asked him to bring Wu Peifu and Yang Du together, and he should not dare to disobey the military order. ”

After Xuanyuan Jian and Zengqi discussed, they immediately sent a fast horse to Yingkou to deliver the order, and Chen Hao had a sneer on his face after receiving the order. Li Lianying is very real, he will help with things when he receives money, he will help Zengqi speak after receiving Zengqi's money, and at the same time leak the content of the holy decree to Zengqi in advance. But he also got benefits from Chen Hao, and this impeachment of Zengqi was related to Chen Hao, so he also knew about the content of the holy decree when Zengqi knew it.

Chen Hao didn't think that Zengqi would rebel at all, Xuanyuan Jian made a decision on the impromptu basis, no matter how strict his thinking was, he couldn't guess it. After receiving Zengqi summoning himself and Wu Peifu Yang Dujun, he thought that Zengqi was going to abuse his power before the arrival of the holy decree and give him a painful lesson, but he didn't expect that Zengqi was to quickly occupy Yingkou after announcing Shengjing's self-reliance.

Chen Hao said to the people sent by Zengqi: "I am tired of rewarding Lord Zengqi, just say that the bandits in Yingkou have been rampant recently, and I really can't afford to send troops to follow Lord Zengqi to attack Jilin." When the bandits at Yingkou subside, I will lead my troops north to Fengtian to join Lord Zengqi, and this time I will not go to Shengjing. ”

After receiving the reply from the herald, Zeng Qi was as irritable as thunder, and scolded: "Chen Baxian is just a fellow of the Yingkou Zhili Hall, and he is only a five-grade official, and he dares to disobey the orders of this lord, which is really audacious. ”

Xuanyuan Jian persuaded on the side: "Your Excellency doesn't need to be angry, Chen Ba is cunning and abnormal, and he must have found that there was a problem before he went north." Now the top priority is to send someone to assassinate the angel who delivered the decree, and then the lord declares himself independent on the grounds that the capital has no owner, otherwise there will be no chance when the two palaces return to Beijing. ”

Zeng Qi nodded and said, "That's all it takes!" Xuanyuan, I know that you have a lot of talented people, so I will leave the matter of intercepting the angels to you. During this time, I will revoke the official positions of some people, arrange for my henchmen to control Shengjing's army, and I will declare myself as soon as you kill the angel. ”

"Player Xuanyuan Sword, NPC Shengjing General Zengqi issued a mission to you 'Assassinate Angels'. Quest Complete Condition: Kill the eunuch who went to Shengjing to deliver the decree. Reward: Unknown. Note: This quest is part of the large-scale regional quest 'Shengjing Self-reliance' that you received, and it cannot be denied as a required quest. ”

Xuanyuan Jian left the Shengjing General's Mansion after accepting the mission, he had many subordinates in Shengjing City, and quickly arranged the assassination. It is impossible for the eunuchs sent by the imperial court to carry out the decree to protect them thoroughly, and it is not difficult to complete this task, so there is nothing to worry about. After arranging his subordinates, Xuanyuan Jian hurried back to Benxi, and he wanted to discuss with Zhuge Kuntian how to deal with it next, and make full preparations when Zengqi became self-reliant.

Zhuge Kuntian heard Xuanyuan Jian say that the imperial court was going to remove Zengqi's official position, and mentioned Xuanyuan Jian and Benxi Base in the holy decree, and ordered the new Shengjing general Jin Chang to be exterminated in a cold sweat. However, after Xuanyuan Jian said his own countermeasure, Zhuge Kuntian gave Xuanyuan Jian a thumbs up and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Boss Long is really clever, Chen Ba first laid us a dead end, after you bewitched Zengqi to become self-reliant, not only did the power in our hands become bigger all of a sudden, but also had the opportunity to fight with Chen Ba in Shengjing first. ”

"Our forces in Shengjing are stronger than him, and with Zengqi's help, we have a great advantage in this fight. Although Chen Baxian said that he had the support of Jinchang, Jinchang's Yuzi battalion was pinned down by the Russians, and it was impossible to send troops to support him. As long as we occupy Yingkou and kill Chen Baxian, by the time the imperial court reaches an agreement with the Russians, we already have enough troops, and Shengjing will be under our control after destroying Jinchang. ”

Zhuge Kuntian is a subordinate of Xuanyuan Sword, but his praise for Xuanyuan Sword comes from the heart. Xuanyuan Jian's thinking may not be as strict as Chen Baxian's, but in terms of the overall situation, he is not inferior to Chen Baxian, and even surpasses it.
