Before meeting Zengqi, Chen Hao had been mentally prepared, thinking that Zengqi would not welcome him, but the result was beyond his expectation. Zengqi was very enthusiastic towards him. When he learned that it was him who came to visit Zengqi, he came out to greet him enthusiastically.
The level is even worse than Shoushan.
Chen Hao followed the etiquette and carefully guarded Zengqi to prevent Zengqi from grabbing any leverage. He had been observing Zengqi carefully and felt that Zengqi did not seem to be arrogant, but that he really valued him. This made him
Chen Hao was puzzled. Historically, Zengqi was greedy for life and fearful of death. He always advocated negotiating peace with the Russians. Under the coercion of the Russians, he sent people to Lushun to sign the "Temporary Charter of Fengtian and Earth" without authorization. Later, the matter was exposed and he was dismissed.
There are nine articles in the "Temporary Regulations of Fengtian Diplomacy", which stipulate that the Russian army will be stationed in Fengtian and other places, the Qing army in the province will be disbanded, and the generals must obey the orders of the Russian side. This is a completely treasonous treaty. A coward like Zengqi advocates negotiating peace with foreigners.
A first-grade official should have a deep hatred for main battle generals like Chen Hao. Zengqi's enthusiasm made him a little overwhelmed.
Chen Hao tried to speak as little as possible, waiting for Zengqi's fox tail to be exposed. After chatting with Chen Hao for a long time, Zengqi smiled and said: "Ba Xian is young and promising, and this transfer to Fengtian will certainly help me take care of my worries. If Ba Xian can help Russia
If you teach me a lesson and repel the Russian Southern Route Army, I will personally give you a few machines."
"Machine?" Chen Hao said in surprise: "What machine?"
Zengqi said with some embarrassment: "Jilin Machinery Bureau can produce guns, but Fengtian Machinery Bureau under my jurisdiction can only produce coins. Every time I go to Jilin Machinery Bureau to transfer ammunition, I will be laughed at by Changshun, so I bought some machines to prepare
We are manufacturing bullets at the Fengtian Machinery Bureau. I am just busy with official duties and have no time to manage them. Those machines are also abandoned. Baxian is good at martial arts and should be familiar with foreign machines. If I can defeat the Russian army on the South Road, I will give the machine to you.
.”
"Player Chen Baxian, NPC Zengqi has issued a mission to you, 'Defeat the Russian Army on the South Road.' Mission completion conditions: Defeat the Russian Army on the South Road. Mission reward: A bullet growth line, and a set of firearms repair equipment."
Chen Hao was knocked unconscious by the sudden falling pie. This time he went south to resist the Russian army on the southern route. He would work hard without Zengqi's reward. Which one was the system singing? He had a kind of sun from
Coming out of the west, I felt that Zengqi, the peacemaker, would actually issue him the task of annihilating the Russian army, and also provide him with valuable bullet production lines and firearms maintenance equipment as a reward.
With the bullet production line, Chen Hao can build a small arsenal, and he will not have to worry about bullets in the future. Firearms repair equipment is also very useful. There are many damaged firearms on the battlefield. If many guns are repaired, their quality will not decrease, and if they can be repaired, it will be good.
A fortune.
Chen Hao didn't include an arsenal in his Yingkou construction plan because he couldn't afford a bullet production line or a machine for manufacturing or repairing rifles. Even a wealthy businessman wouldn't be able to get this kind of thing, unless he was lucky enough to encounter a hidden mission and connect with a special NPC.
, you can buy it for a lot of money.
Because it was a task issued by Zengqi, Chen Hao did not rush to accept it, for fear that there was something fishy in it. He could understand Zengqi's embarrassment. Zengqi probably bought the machine and no one under him knew how to use it, so he put the machine in the warehouse.
Here, it’s not that he said he doesn’t have time to manage the Machinery Bureau at the moment.
Zengqi saw the hesitation on Chen Hao's face and laughed dryly and said: "Ba Xian, you seem to have some prejudice against me? To be honest, I have always advocated negotiating peace with the Russians, because the Qing Dynasty's national strength is very different from the Russians, and we will lose in a war.
Undoubtedly, after Baxian wiped out the Russian Northern Route Army in the north, I feel that the Russians are not that scary. Now that Baxian has gone south to help me, and Jinchang has been prepared for a long time, he will definitely be able to defeat the Russians.
A lesson."
Chen Hao showed a surprised look. He did not expect that the influence of butterfly wings would be so great. After his great victory in the north, the Shengjing general Zengqi who led the war actually took the lead in the battle. This gave Chen Hao greater confidence in changing the plot mission.
Confidence, it seems that the first priority is for the system to control the entire game reasonably, rather than blindly forcing the plot tasks to completely follow the historical development.
Although Zengqi signed a traitorous treaty in history, he was not a worthless waste. It was reasonable for him to change from peace to war. As Zengqi himself said, he advocated peace with Tsarist Russia because he was afraid of Russian force and fear of Tsarist Russia.
Defeat Fengtian and he will die on his own.
Now that Tsarist Russia has assembled a large number of troops, the chance of peace negotiation is very small. However, the northern army fought a great victory and completely annihilated the Russian Northern Route Army. Zengqi hoped that the south would also fight such a great victory, so that he would not worry about dying, because in name only
Being the highest official of Fengtian Province, he can still get great credit.
Chen Hao is only seventeen years old in the game. Of course Zengqi will not put all his hopes on him. What he wants is to let Chen Hao and Jinchang resist the Russians in the south first. If they fail, he will negotiate peace with the Russians.
Not too late.
If Nanfang really won the battle, Chen Hao would report the battle report to Zengqi first, and then Zengqi would report it to the court so that he could share the credit. That's why he personally promised to give Chen Hao a bullet production line and firearms maintenance equipment.
By doing this, Zengqi could not only win over Chen Hao, but also stimulate Chen Hao to fight the enemy in the south, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. The reason why he thought of sending the machine to Chen Hao was because the machine would be useless in the warehouse. According to his understanding of the generals who were in charge of the battle
Generally, people are interested in firearms and ammunition, especially machines and equipment that can produce firearms and ammunition.
Chen Hao accepted the task without hesitation. It is easy to obtain bullets abroad. Bullets are expensive in China, and sometimes there is no place to buy them. Therefore, a bullet production line in China is extremely precious.
Even with the bullet production line and firearms maintenance equipment, Chen Hao still needs technicians and skilled workers in the arsenal, and he also needs arsenal construction drawings to build a small arsenal. He is temporarily unable to produce bullets, but this does not prevent him from promising rewards to Zengqi.
interested.
After Chen Hao chose to accept the mission, Zengqi laughed loudly and said: "Ba Xian is indeed very heroic. I believe you can defeat the Russian army on the southern route. Today I will host a banquet to welcome you."
Chen Hao, Wu Peifu, and Yang Du, three people with official positions, attended a banquet at the General's Mansion. Zengqi arranged for his men to kill pigs and sheep to entertain the patrol camp and a group of horse bandits. With the temptation of machinery and equipment, Chen Hao attracted Zengqi.
He was also very polite. Zengqi looked drunk when he was drunk and said: "Ba Xian, you are the new commander of Yingkou Zhili Department. I'm afraid those arrogant generals may not be convinced. The thousand households in Yingkou's six battalions are all colleagues of your predecessor."
My confidant, if you want to control the six battalions, just do it, I will support you."
Chen Hao was overjoyed when he heard this. Sooner or later, he would take action against his officials. However, without Zengqi's support, he would have to spend a lot of time and have sufficient evidence to replace those people. With Zengqi's support, it would be much easier. Anyway, he is not going to the post alone.
The troops and horses have already surpassed the Sixth Battalion of Yingkou. They can quickly cut through the chaos and seize control of the Sixth Battalion of Yingkou. This will give them a little more confidence in dealing with the Tsarist Russian Southern Route Army.
After drinking and eating, Chen Hao returned to the military camp to rest. The guerrilla general Ertai who was at the banquet at the same table said to Zengqi: "Sir, the thousand households and guards of the Sixth Battalion of Yingkou are all Gurna people. Your Majesty has given Chen Ba the order to capture these first."
Does Ertai have any ideas?"
Zengqi squinted his eyes and said: "Ortai is just a waste. If he can fight like Chen Baxian, I will give him a chance. Now the Russians will invade at any time. Chen Baxian can give more help by controlling the Yingkou Sixth Battalion. I
I have tried my best to support him in the war. If he wins a big victory like he did in the north, that will be fine. If he disappoints me, hum! I will settle things with him."
Chen Hao led his troops all the way south to Yingkou. He had seen the terrain last time in Yingkou, and he did not expect that he would become the highest military and political officer of Yingkou so soon. He brought Wu Peifu and Yang Du to the government office, and saw that the government office was deserted.
There were only a few officials waiting at the government office, guarding and guarding, and none of the thousands of households and other officials were absent.
Chen Hao had already sent someone to inform him before he came. When Shangguan was appointed, not even a single subordinate officer was appointed. He gave him a warning on the first day. He had no expression on his face and sat on the chair with an indifferent expression and said: "Why are you in the Yamen today?"
How many of you are there only?"
Those few clerks hesitated and said nothing. They were all scribes directly under Tongzhi and had to stay in the government office to wait. If possible, they would not come. The former Yingkou Coastal Defense Tongzhi Office was run by the former Tongzhi
They became a monolith, with less than one thousand households in the six battalions. If Chen Hao hadn't led his troops southward, there would really be nothing he could do against these people.
Yang Du on the side shouted loudly: "What are you hesitating about? Master Tongzhi is asking you a question!"
One of the petty officials hesitated and said: "Each battalion is stationed in various places. We went to inform you before your arrival. Master Qianhu said that the Russians might invade at any time. In order to defend the territory against the enemy, we cannot come to greet you. I hope you will forgive me."
.”
Chen Hao still didn't get angry. He smiled and said: "I have been ordered to come to Yingkou to fight the Russians. We need the efforts of all the thousands of households. I will send the message again and tell you that I have summoned all the thousands of households to guard and guard.
Come to the house for military discussion, and those who are not there at noon will engage in military law."
The officials looked at each other and walked out silently. Chen Hao smiled and said to Yang Du and Yang Du: "What are the names of the former colleagues? The method is not bad, but these people are the same as each other, and none of them came to express their loyalty to me.
"
Yang Du sneered and said: "These people are looking for death. Your Excellency has annihilated countless Russians in the north. Naturally, they are not merciful people. They thought that the law would not punish everyone, but they did not expect that Your Excellency wanted to kill them all. Your Excellency ordered hundreds of households to do it."
The above military generals all come to the military for discussion. This is a very good move. If these people don't come, they can just lead the troops to kill a few hundred households in each camp, and then appoint some horse bandit leaders to serve as officials of the hundreds of households. It is difficult for the horse bandits to become officials.
The leader will help us deal with those thousands households."
After Cixi issued the decree, Yang Du and Wu Peifu had official status, and Chen Hao was their subordinate, so they changed their name to "sir". Chen Hao originally planned to ask Yang Du for advice, but after receiving Zengqi's support, he felt that he had the ability.
He was dealing with his subordinate officials, so he didn’t ask Yang Du for his opinion, but Yang Du still guessed his thoughts. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
