Xuanyuan Jian felt confident when he saw that Zengqi had been persuaded by him, and the method he thought of for Zengqi was crazy. This visit to Zengqi was originally to ask Zengqi to be on guard, but he did not expect that Chen Baxian had already taken action, and
The imperial court also issued an imperial edict. After hearing from the concierge that Zengqi would be dismissed, Xuanyuan Jian made a decisive decision to lobby Zengqi and let Zengqi raise the banner of rebellion.
Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in turmoil, it was still a long time before the Year of Xinhai. He believed that the system would not collapse the Qing Dynasty in a short time. It would definitely not work for him to openly rebel, but it would be different if Zengqi rebelled. Zengqi was a local official in the imperial court.
member, he can demand autonomy for Shengjing.
Zengqi's dismissal was related to Xuanyuan Sword's establishment of a base in Benxi. Zengqi, a first-class official, was taken down, and he, a little shrimp, definitely became a rebel. Xuanyuan Sword believed in monarchy and was on the court's blacklist
It will be very difficult to get along in the future, and the results are already very bad anyway, so it would be better to trick Zengqi into rebelling and fish in troubled waters.
After Zengqi declared that Shengjing was autonomous and would not accept orders from the imperial court, he could act as a think tank beside Zengqi. Although Zengqi did not personally lead the troops, a large part of Shengjing's army was in the hands of Jinchang, but Zengqi's men also had
Many officers were loyal. Zengqi no longer obeyed the orders of the imperial court. At that time, he obeyed his words. The army in Zengqi's hands plus the players and NPCs recruited by Benxi were enough to fight against Chen Baxian and Jinchang.
The troops under Jinchang had to guard against the Russians, so Zengqi had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength against Chen Baxian. Even if he failed, he could destroy Chen Baxian's camp first. More importantly, without the constraints of the imperial court, Xuanyuan Sword, as Zengqi's confidant, could
He can do whatever he wants, he can send troops to expand continuously, and in the end he can even support Zengqi as a puppet and completely control the province of Shengjing.
Xuanyuan Sword's plan has a certain chance of success. The Qing court's control over the local areas has been extremely weak. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded, the southeastern provinces shouted the slogan of "Southeast Mutual Protection" and did not send troops north to support the court. In the late Qing Dynasty, the local governors
The power was already great, but the Northeast was the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, so the imperial control was stronger.
If Zengqi imitates the governor in the south and shouts the slogan of autonomy, the Empress Dowager Cixi who is still in Chang'an will be unable to suppress her, so this is the best opportunity to become independent. Hearing Zengqi ask Xuanyuan Jian smiled and said: "Actually,
The method is very simple, since the imperial court wants to remove you from your post, you just need to ignore the imperial edict and continue to serve as General of Shengjing."
Zengqi was furious and said: "You mean to ask me to resist the decree? Now I know that you harbor evil intentions and want to be a rebellious minister. You have already caused me to lose my official position, and now you want to drag me into the water again."
Xuanyuan Jian sighed and said: "If your Excellency returns to the capital, it will be meat on the chopping board. If you send people to intercept and kill the angels on the road and declare Shengjing's autonomy, not only will your Excellency not be in danger, but you will also be able to act in the future."
You don’t have to look at other people’s faces, what’s wrong with that?”
Zengqi's expression changed and he said: "With the strength of my troops, what should I do if the autonomous imperial court sends troops to suppress it?"
Xuanyuan Jian said confidently: "My lord, there is no need to worry at all. The Russian army is still in the northeast, and Shoushan cannot draw out its troops. The troops in Jinchang in the south are also restrained by the Russians, and Changshun in the east has surrendered to the Russians. He
The matter of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country has already been known to the imperial court. In order to protect myself, I may follow you and declare autonomy, so there is no need for you to worry."
Seeing Zengqi's hesitation, Xuanyuan Sword gave him another shot in the arm and said: "The governors of the southeastern provinces also want to be autonomous. I will definitely get their support after you declare autonomy. At that time, you will have great power. I will recruit a large number of soldiers to accumulate
Your strength will assist you, sir. From now on, you will have the final say in the entire Northeast."
Zengqi was stunned for a long time. After calculating the gains and losses, he felt that he might be beheaded when he returned to the capital. Although declaring Shengjing's autonomy was risky, if it succeeded, he would be able to be like the governors in the south.
Rain comes when the wind comes, which is much better than worrying about it now.
Zengqi also knew that if he declared independence, he would not have enough troops and would need Xuanyuan Sword to recruit soldiers to help. After making up his mind, he said to Xuanyuan Jian: "Xuanyuan, since the imperial court listened to the slander and wanted to remove me from office and investigate, I will listen to your declaration of Shengjing's independence. It's just that
I don't have enough troops under my command, so 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 issues you the mission 'Shengjing's Independence'. Mission completion conditions: After Zengqi declares Shengjing's independence, help Zengqi defeat the encircling imperial army. Mission reward: Help Zengqi become self-reliant.
In the end, you have great authority within Shengjing and can continuously expand your base and army. Do you want to accept the mission?"
"The alien Xuanyuan Sword, the mission issued by Shengjing General Zengqi is an active large-scale regional mission. This mission will be triggered because of you. If the mission fails, you will be punished by the system. Everything you do in the Shengjing area
It will be destroyed, please consider it carefully before making a decision."
Of course Xuanyuan Jian chose to accept the task. Even if Zengqi was not tempted to rebel, the Empress Dowager Cixi had already decided that he was a rebel, so it would be better if he would not rebel. If Zengqi declares his independence successful, he will no longer be inferior to Chen Baxian in official status.
, Chen Baxian was able to reach this point because of the appreciation of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Zengqi declared that the success of self-reliance does not matter the court, Xuanyuan Sword received greater power than Chen Baxian.
Xuanyuan Sword raised his hand towards Zengqi and said: "This matter happened because of me. I will do my best to assist you, sir. Please don't worry. Now Chen Baxian doesn't know the imperial decree or your plans, so why don't you send him to me?"
He and his important personnel recruited Shengjing and captured it in one fell swoop. That way, after controlling the army at Yingkou, you will have sufficient troops and no worries."
"What a good idea!" Zengqi exclaimed: "I don't think bad of Chen Baxian. He actually joined forces with Jinchang and others to slander the Queen of Heaven. If I don't kill him, I will only hate him. I will immediately send someone to Yingkou to convey the order, pretending to be
We need to discuss retaking Jilin and ask him to bring Wu Peifu and Yang Du together. He should not dare to disobey military orders."
After Xuanyuan Jian and Zengqi discussed it, they immediately sent a fast horse to Yingkou to deliver the order. After receiving the order, Chen Hao showed a sneer on his face. Li Lianying was a very down-to-earth person and would help with things after receiving money. He accepted Zengqi's
Qian spoke for Zengqi and leaked the contents of the imperial edict to Zengqi in advance. But he also benefited from Chen Hao. The impeachment of Zengqi was related to Chen Hao, so when Zengqi knew the contents of the imperial edict, he
Got it too.
Chen Hao never thought that Zengqi would rebel. No matter how rigorous his thinking was, he could not have guessed Xuanyuan Sword's impromptu decision. When Zengqi summoned himself and Wu Peifu to discuss the military meeting, he thought Zengqi was going to do it under the imperial edict.
He abused his power before arriving and taught him a painful lesson. He never expected that Zengqi was trying to declare Shengjing's independence so that he could quickly occupy Yingkou.
Chen Hao said to the people sent by Zengqi: "To report back to Master Zengqi, I would like to say that banditry has been rampant in Yingkou recently, and I am really unable to send troops to follow Master Zengqi to attack Jilin. When the banditry in Yingkou subsides, then I will lead the troops north to Fengtian to fight with
Lord Zengqi, let’s meet together, I won’t go to Shengjing this time.”
After receiving the reply from the messenger, Zengqi became furious and cursed loudly: "Chen Baxian is just a fellow magistrate of the Zhili Department of Yingkou, with a mere fifth-rank official position. He dares to disobey my order. He is really daring."
Xuanyuan Jian advised on the side: "My lord, there is no need to be angry. Chen Baxian is cunning and cunning. He must have found something wrong so he did not go north. The top priority now is to send someone to assassinate the angel who delivered the message, and then your lord declared independence on the grounds that the capital has no owner. Otherwise, wait until
If the two palaces return to Beijing, they will have no chance."
Zengqi nodded and said: "That's the only way it can be! Xuanyuan, I know that you have many talented people and strangers, so I will leave the interception of angels to you. During this period, I will revoke some people's official positions.
Arrange your confidants to control Shengjing's army. After you kill the angel, I will immediately declare my independence."
"Player Xuanyuan Sword and NPC Shengjing General Zengqi have issued the mission 'Assassination of Angels' to you. Mission completion conditions: Kill the eunuch who went to Shengjing to deliver the decree. Mission reward: Unknown. Note: This mission is a large-scale regional mission you received.
It is part of 'Shengjing's self-reliance', and it is an inevitable task that cannot be shied away from."
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 was impossible for the eunuchs sent by the imperial court to deliver the order to be fully protected, so it was not difficult to complete this mission.
, there is nothing to worry about. After arranging his men, Xuanyuan Jian hurried back to Benxi. He wanted to discuss with Zhuge Kuntian how to deal with it next, and be fully prepared when Zengqi became independent.
Zhuge Kuntian was sweating coldly when he heard Xuanyuan Sword said that the imperial court was going to remove Zengqi from his official position, and mentioned Xuanyuan Sword and the Benxi base area in the imperial edict, and ordered the new Shengjing General Jinchang to exterminate them. But when Xuanyuan Sword said that he
After coming up with the countermeasures, Zhuge Kun gave Xuanyuan Sword a thumbs up and said: "Wonderful! Indescribably wonderful! Boss Long is really clever. Chen Baxian gave us a dead end. After you bewitched Zengqi to become independent, not only did you let the people in our hands
His power suddenly increased, and he also had the opportunity to compete with Chen Baxian in Shengjing."
"Our troops in Shengjing are stronger than his, and we have Zengqi to help us. We have a great advantage in this battle. Although Chen Baxian has Jinchang's support, Jinchang's Yuzi camp is restrained by the Russians.
It is impossible to send troops to support him. As long as we occupy Yingkou and kill Chen Baxian, after the imperial court reaches an agreement with the Russians, we already have enough troops. After Jinchang is destroyed, Shengjing will be under our control."
Zhuge Kuntian is Xuanyuan Sword's subordinate, but his praise for Xuanyuan Sword comes from the bottom of his heart. Xuanyuan Sword's thinking may not be as rigorous as Chen Baxian's, but in terms of the overall situation, he is not inferior to Chen Baxian at all, or even better. (To be completed.)
