ps: (The Chinese New Year has become the new year. I go to other people¡¯s houses to pay New Year greetings, wait for them to pay New Year¡¯s greetings, and accompany my friends to get engaged. I am confused every day. I only have time to update after I start working. I¡¯m sorry everyone, I will start to recover from today)
The meeting between Chen Hao and Cai E was pleasant. With Jiang Baili, a general who graduated from the Japanese Military Academy, to smooth things over, Cai E was no longer so averse to working under Chen Hao. However, Cai E did not join the Polu Army. He chose to stay in the NPC army in Guizhou.
Although Guizhou¡¯s military is basically under his control, Chen Hao is still a little worried about variables, because there are still some revolutionary parties in Guizhou that are not his confidants. Cai E stayed in Guizhou so that Chen Hao did not have to worry about him being attracted by other players, but Cai E might side with the Revolutionary Party after the Wuchang Uprising.
Chen Hao is currently cooperating happily with the Revolutionary Party. This is the common interest of both parties. He needs the Revolutionary Party to increase his reputation. The Revolutionary Party takes a fancy to the army in his hands. When the Wuchang Uprising is victorious, the revolutionaries will definitely implement a democratic republic. At that time, Chen Hao, who has always believed in constitutional monarchy, will have to make a choice.
The revolutionaries will definitely welcome Chen Hao¡¯s belief in democracy and republic, and will also give him a high status. This is what Chen Hao once pursued. Unfortunately, his goal has changed now. His butt determines his head. After mastering strong strength, he does not want to leave his army in the hands of Sun Yixian, 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 cannot be complimented. Historically, it was because of the constant defeat in Wuhan that the Revolutionary Party had to compromise with Yuan Shikai, which eventually made Yuan Shikai the president of the Republic of China.
The Revolutionary Party made a dowry for others, and it was Yuan Shikai who ultimately benefited, so there was no benefit at all for Chen Hao to side with the Revolutionary Party. Even if you have to become someone else's vassal. The benefits of choosing to side with Lao Yuan will be greater. After the Wuchang Uprising, he supported the Revolutionary Party. If he was unable to turn the tide and change the main plot, Lao Yuan would eventually come to power.
With Lao Yuan¡¯s political skills, he will definitely vigorously purge the revolutionary party after taking power. Chen Hao¡¯s political status is not as good as it is now. If you choose to secretly seek refuge with Yuan Shikai. At least the position of Navy Minister and local official cannot be lost. He has a much better future than following the Revolutionary Party.
Of course, Lao Yuan¡¯s final end was not very good. In the end, the world was still dominated by the Revolutionary Party, so it was best for Chen Hao to exist independently and become a third-pole force. He is now the governor of Guangxi, and also secretly controls Guizhou. It is very likely that he has these two provinces in his hands. He also controls more than 90% of China's navy. Yuan Shikai had a great say in bargaining with the Revolutionary Party, and neither party dared to completely offend him.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? He can raise the price, and ask for the position of Southwest Governor. With the name, he will have mission authority. At that time, he can send troops to Yunnan and Sichuan, and completely control the southwest.
People like Long Fei, Xuanyuan Jian, and Huo Qubing have great advantages. They have a large number of loyal subordinates at their disposal. However, when it comes to competing for national hegemony, their real-life manpower advantage no longer exists. A war between two warlords in the game often involves tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops. It is impossible for them to have that many subordinates in reality.
Players¡¯ weapons and equipment are hard-earned, and they cannot easily sacrifice their lives for people they don¡¯t know. At that time, the role of NPC troops will become even greater. Chen Hao controls the most powerful NPC unit in the game and has a very high reputation on the forum. You won't suffer any loss when participating in a warlord melee.
After sending Cai E and Jiang Baili away, Chen Hao locked himself in the headquarters war room and focused on the map. The four prefectures in western Guangxi are still in the hands of Huo Qubing and Yingyu. They have strong strength and cooperative relationships with each other. It will take a lot of effort to completely master Guangxi.
Chen Hao was only fortunate that Long Fei had not yet been able to control the entire Yunnan, and Emperor Guangxu had not sealed the world in the new palace in Kunming, which made him keenly aware that something might have happened to Guangxu. Due to his future memory, Chen Hao has a much deeper understanding of the system than Long Fei, but Long Fei is too impatient. The simplest way for the system to respond is to let Guangxu die.
After Guangxu died of illness, Long Fei's position was as high as the governor of Yunnan. With Xiliang, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, suppressing him, it was unreasonable for him to control the entire Yunnan. If Guangxu died, Xiliang, as a Manchu, would probably tell the world and take the initiative to apologize to the court. . Xiliang did not turn on the power to explain the reason why Emperor Guangxu failed to ascend the throne in the new palace. It was probably because Long Fei had taken risks and concealed the news of Guangxu's death.
Long Fei¡¯s choice was far from wrong. When Guangxu suddenly died of illness, he was in a dilemma. He followed Xiliang and sided with the court again. He couldn¡¯t even become the governor of Yunnan. However, Long Fei chose to prevent Xiliang from defecting and hiding the news of Guangxu's death was not necessarily a good idea. Once the matter was exposed, he would become the court's number one target.
If Chen Hao wants to become the king of the southwest, he must kill Huo Qubing and Yingyu in Guangxi, and Long Fei in Yunnan. The biggest threat is Long Fei, butThe small-sized Ying Yu and Huo Qu Bing are equally disgusting, and the three of them 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 him, and Chen Hao would be unable to deal with the three families at the same time.
If Chen Hao chooses to attack Yunnan and control Yunnan and Guizhou first, he will also be harassed by many parties. Ying Yu, Huo Qubing and Hunan's Xuanyuan Sword would make it even more difficult for him to be attacked from several sides, so he never had a good way. After discovering that Long Fei might be in crisis this time, he felt that this was a very good opportunity. If he could take the opportunity to occupy part of Yunnan, he would not be so passive.
If Long Fei had killed his benefactor Xiliang, the exposure of this incident would have a huge impact on him, and the court would immediately declare him a rebel. The imperial court's mission authority is extremely large. If a large number of player troops are recruited and the surrounding provinces are ordered to attack Long Fei, Chen Hao will have an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
After making up his mind, Chen Hao chose to sleep and exit the game. In order to confirm Guangxu's condition, he ordered the telegraph operator at the headquarters to send electricity to Yunnan the next day. In the telegram, Chen Hao said that Guangxu had come to a remote place in the southwest and had been living in the governor's palace, which made him extremely sad as a minister, so he requested that Guangxu immediately hold a ceremony to officially ascend 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 confidants, 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 Wuchang Uprising broke out. Then he could claim that he was a staunch revolutionary party and had taken control of the overall situation in Yunnan, and then he could hold the position of governor of Yunnan.
This is the most ideal situation. Even if this is not possible, Long Fei still hopes that the matter will be exposed later. After receiving the telegram from Guangxi Governor Chen Baxian, Long Fei's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. If Chen Baxian already knew the news of Guangxu's death, it would be over.
Long Fei was still holding a trace of luck in his heart. Maybe Chen Baxian sent the message just to flatter Guangxu? He ordered his men to call back to Guizhou in the name of Xiliang, saying that there were still some areas in the Kunming Palace that needed to be renovated, and that the emperor would not officially move into the palace until three months later.
Chen Hao smiled when he received the call back from Yunnan. He established an intelligence department under him, and Wang Yaqiao has focused on deploying informants in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou. Although it is difficult to break into the core departments of Yunnan, intelligence personnel still found some clues. The construction of the palace in Kunming was completed as early as a week ago.
There must be something fishy about Yunnan¡¯s call back. If the other party called back in the name of Xiliang, that means Xiliang was lying. But as a well-known NPC in history, Xiliang regarded Guizhou as an ally to support Guangxu. How could he hide such details? So after receiving the telegram, Chen Hao confirmed his judgment. Emperor Guangxu was probably dead and Long Fei was trying to secretly control Yunnan.
Chen Hao immediately ordered the power to be sent to the world in the name of the governor of Guangxi, saying that he had sent people to see Guangxu and Xiliang many times but failed, and he was afraid that Emperor Guangxu had been killed. As soon as the electricity was announced, the whole country was shocked. All newspapers published the news and asked the Yunnan authorities to clarify the matter.
Long Fei was confused, and things were exposed so quickly that he didn't expect. He had no good solution at the moment, so he called and said that the emperor was just in poor health and was currently recuperating at the Governor's Mansion. After the announcement of the power supply, Guizhou did not buy it, and soon sent another call to question, thinking that if Guangxu was really ill, the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Xiliang, should come forward to explain, right?
Of course Long Fei didn¡¯t dare to let Xiliang come forward. Now that Xiliang hates him to the core, he will definitely tell what he did. The Yunnan side remained silent and subtly confirmed that Guangxi Governor Chen Baxian's power supply call might be true. Many wavering local officials called to express their support for the imperial court's orthodoxy and denounced the rebels in Yunnan.
Some governors who had already called in support of Guangxu came to the court to plead guilty, obviously believing that Guangxu was dead. Most of these people were speculators, trying to support Guangxu in gaining a higher status. The news of Guangxu's death completely frightened them. Although the Xuantong court was extremely disdainful of these people, the Qing Dynasty could not withstand internal and external troubles, so it issued an order to appease a group of people.
The Xuantong court quickly issued an order stating that the late emperor was kidnapped and brutally killed by strangers, and that the nine rebel clans should be punished. According to the imperial edict, the mastermind who kidnapped the late Emperor Guangxu was Long Fei, the governor of Yunnan, and the imperial court ordered all parties to destroy him.
Long Fei was not unjust at all in taking the blame. He welcomed Guangxu from Guizhou to Yunnan and was promoted several levels to a second-rank official. No one believed that he was not the main messenger. After the imperial court issued the decree, Shen Yuqing, the governor of Guizhou, Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan, and Chen Baxian, the governor of Guangxi, all called to protest against the rebellion.
Shen Yuqing, the governor of Guizhou, was considered a loser. After strangers kidnapped Guangxu and entered Guizhou, he basically lost his right to speak. Strange people in Zhenyuan Prefecture control the army and occupy the name of Emperor Guangxu's righteousness. Shen Yuqing has no way to fight against them.
When Guangxu first arrived in Guizhou, ShenQingqing wanted to be close to the water, so he first turned on the electricity to support Guangxu. It's a pity that Guangxu was controlled by strangers, which did not bring him much substantial benefits. Instead, those strangers promoted him to positions and titles one after another.
