After listening to Chen Hao's words, Du Lisan smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Sir, these two people said they would not come to Yingkou to see you. If you want them to join you, please make an appointment to meet at a place."
Chen Hao couldn't help but was a little speechless. The two people's arrogance was really big. No wonder Du Lisan would say that they didn't know how high the sky was. Now both of them are just the leaders of the local militia. Chen Hao is a high-ranking official of the imperial court. If he is willing to see them, he will
That's right, they actually want to make another appointment.
However, Chen Hao is a player. Because of the status of these two people in history, he doesn't feel ashamed to meet these two NPCs. He asked Du Lisan to contact them. This time, he focused on recruiting these two people and dragged them to Yingkou.
As a result, there were two more soldiers to lead the troops during the war.
Zhang Zuolin continues to grow according to the historical trajectory. Although he only has more than 200 guns under his command, he has already gained a reputation in the areas he controls. An ambitious NPC like him certainly desires a bigger stage for development. Du Li's recruitment of militia bandits caused a stir
After catching his attention, he had the idea of taking up a post in Yingkou.
The same goes for Feng Delin. The local militia has always had an unjustified reputation. It would be great to be recognized by the government for further development. All these two people need is a status. Even if they hold official positions in Yingkou, they will not listen to propaganda.
Moreover, Chen Hao would like to give them some military pay.
Military salary is also the reason why Chen Hao is determined to cooperate with them. If he is willing, Du Lisan can recruit more NPCs for him, but paying military salary is a big problem. He pays for all these newly recruited NPCs, and each NPC soldier pays 3 oceans.
Calculate, 10,000 NPC soldiers per month is 30,000 oceans.
Chen Hao made a fortune in the capital, but he could not afford to squander it. After this battle, he planned to report to the court to ask for a solution to the problem of military pay for new personnel, but the chance was slim. It was impossible for Empress Dowager Cixi to appreciate him again.
If we allocate tens of thousands of dollars to him alone every month to raise troops, he still has to make his own decisions.
It is not useless for Chen Hao to spend so much money to raise troops for the court. By commanding these recruits to fight more wars, he can select a group of elite soldiers to become a private army. He can select soldiers from tens of thousands of troops and pass the test on the battlefield. In the future, he will
A private army with 3,000 men must pass the quality standard.
The issue of money has always troubled Chen Hao, so he was very interested in the cooperation between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin. What these two people wanted mainly was their status. If they asked to be transferred or not, Chen Hao would not pay their military salary in full, so it was okay.
Save a lot of money. As for status, just like Chuobuha, the deputy governor of Jinzhou, appointed Sanshengshi as the security commander, he only appointed Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin to such fictitious posts that were not part of the imperial establishment.
Du Lisan quickly contacted Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin and made an appointment to meet at Niuzhuang. Chen Hao rushed to Niuzhuang with only ten personal guards.
Although Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin were arrogant, they were still cautious, fearing that their hard-earned wealth would be swallowed up by others. When Chen Hao walked into the restaurant, Zhang Zuolin had already arranged the banquet. He stood up and said, "Thank you, Chen Hao."
Your Majesty, please appreciate the honor. My brothers are afraid of being cheated by the government and dare not go to Yingkou. I’m sorry to trouble Mr. Chen to make this trip."
Chen Hao felt a little proud in his heart. Zhang Zuolin, a well-known figure, had a very low profile in front of him, which greatly satisfied his vanity. He returned a gift to Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, and laughed and said: "Speaking of which, I
The official was also born in a rough manner, and he and the two of you are of the same profession, so you don't have to be polite."
After sitting at the table, the three of them drank a few drinks and talked about useless topics. Feng Delin was the first to be unable to restrain himself. He tentatively said: "Sir Chen, we established the militia to protect the country and the people. I heard that you are recruiting soldiers in Yingkou.
, Brothers are interested in making a living, but I don’t know if..."
Zhang Zuolin always had a smile on his face, without showing any thoughts. Feng Delin seemed more eager to achieve fame. Chen Hao smiled slightly and said: "There has been some unrest in Yingkou recently. I don't have enough troops, so I want to add a few more battalions. Feng Tuan
Are you interested?"
Feng Delin chuckled and said: "I am willing to work under your command, and I hope you will give me more support in the future."
Zhang Zuolin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interjected: "Sir, although we are willing to serve you, the original intention of establishing the militia is to protect the villagers from being invaded by horse bandits, so we cannot stay in Yingkou all the time. I have an immature thought.
My idea, Brother Feng and I want to work under your command, but how about we stay in the original place?"
Chen Hao secretly praised Zhang Zuolin for what he said beautifully. He and Feng Delin wanted to stand on their own and were unwilling to become someone else's subordinates, but the reasons he gave made it difficult for anyone to find fault with them. The militia was established to protect the country and the people, and it would be difficult for other people's subordinates to serve in their homeland.
The separation was reasonable, but I also wanted to serve Mr. Chen, so I nominally signed up for the Yingkou Patrol Battalion. In fact, it was the best way to continue working in the militia.
Seeing that Chen Hao had no expression on his face and was smiling but silent, Zhang Zuolin quickly added: "Of course, if your lord wants to go to war, Brother Feng and I will not refuse and will definitely lead others to serve your lord."
What Chen Hao was waiting for was his words. He had never thought about conquering Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, so he didn't bother to care where they were stationed. It was just that during the war, he needed these two people to do things for him. With the few men and guns they had, Chen Hao
He didn't look down on them, but he valued their abilities.
Chen Hao nodded and approved Zhang Zuolin's proposal, and said with a smile: "I said that I was also born in a reckless way, and I understand the difficulties of the two eldest brothers. There is no problem if you want to station in another place. Brother Zhang, your suggestion is very good, and I don't want to deceive the two of you.
Big brother, but before that I have to make something clear. There will be a war in Yingkou soon."
Hearing that Chen Hao agreed to his proposal, Zhang Zuolin was all smiles, but when he heard that there was going to be a war, his smile froze on his face. He and Feng Delin wanted to be recognized by the court, but the foreigners were very powerful, so they just joined the foreigners.
The gains outweigh the losses in fighting, so he tentatively said: "Isn't the imperial court negotiating with the Russians? The Russians won't attack Yingkou, right?"
Chen Hao never thought of hiding Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuolin. These two are both human beings. Now it would be troublesome to hide them and find excuses not to join the war after the war. It is best to make it clear in advance. It is best for the two of them to agree. If not, it will be avoided.
They became sworn enemies. However, these two people were afraid of fighting with foreigners. If they could win this battle with Zengqi, they would gain great benefits. He believed that they could make the right choice.
Chen Hao took out the information report that Li Lianying sent to him: "You two elder brothers, you can take a look. This is the news from the palace manager Li, saying that the imperial court has issued an order to remove Shengjing General Zengqi from his post. I
After waiting for so long, the angel who passed the imperial decree may have been killed. Zengqi must have wanted to stand on his own if he dared to kill the angel."
"If Zengqi becomes independent, the imperial court will definitely order an encirclement and suppression. I, Yingkou, will be the first to bear the brunt. If the two eldest brothers are willing to cooperate with me, they should express their merits to the imperial court after defeating Zengqi. The benefits of both of them are indispensable. Of course, if I am defeated by Zengqi,
The two eldest brothers will probably be implicated as well, so I must make it clear in advance."
Zhang Zuolin looked uncertain after reading the information presented by Chen Hao. After hesitating for a while, he said resolutely: "If Zengqi really dares to betray the imperial court and declare independence, I will definitely fight the enemy side by side with Mr. Chen."
Zhang Zuolin is very shrewd. He discovered the opportunity. If Zengqi really rebelled and participated in the suppression of the rebellion, it would be a great achievement. He did not doubt the information Chen Hao brought out, because if what Chen Hao said was false, Zengqi
If there is no opposition, he will have little influence. Without fighting, he can just continue to be the leader of his militia and receive military pay at the entrance of the camp.
If Chen Ba was defeated by Zengqi first, Zhang Zuolin only had more than 200 guns at his disposal, and it is unlikely that Zengqi would know about his participation in the fight against Zengqi in Yingkou. Of course, there are still certain risks, but the opportunities are greater than the risks.
Big money, wealth and wealth can be found in danger, Zhang Zuolin is ready to gamble on this.
After Zhang Zuolin agreed, Chen Hao's eyes fell on Feng Delin. Feng Delin smiled awkwardly and said: "I can't make up my mind now. How about I give it two days of consideration before replying to you sir?"
Chen Hao nodded and said: "That's fine! If Captain Feng is willing to cooperate, you can come to me at any time. If you don't want to, remember not to reveal the information."
There is still some gap between Feng Delin and Zhang Zuolin. When Zhang Zuolin heard that Shengjing General Zengqi was going to rebel, the first thing he thought of was to seize the opportunity and make great contributions, while Feng Delin was frightened by Zengqi's reputation. Chen Hao told the two of them such a confidential matter
, because he believed that the two of them would not reveal it. They were both well-known NPCs in history, and they should clearly distinguish the importance. Even if they were unwilling to help him resist Zengqi, they would not follow Zengqi in rebellion.
After Chen Hao left the restaurant, Feng Delin glanced at Zhang Zuolin and said, "Brother Yu Ting, Chen Ba is going to go against General Shengjing first. You agreed so readily. Are you not worried?"
Zhang Zuolin smiled and said: "Brother Feng, this world still belongs to the imperial court. Shengjing is adjacent to the capital, and the imperial court will never tolerate Zengqi's self-reliance. Wealth and honor are found in danger. If we can become the judges of meritorious service and be canonized by the imperial court,
In the future, my identity in Shengjing will not be so embarrassing."
Feng Delin hesitated and said, "What if Chen Ba is defeated by Zengqi first?"
Zhang Zuolin said with a smile: "Chen Baxian has tens of thousands of people under his command. As long as you and I are more careful and see that the momentum is not right, we can come back and continue to be the leader of our militia. I don't think Zengqi will pay attention to small characters like us."
Zhang Zuolin only had more than 200 men. He joined the Yingkou army to resist Zengqi, so it was indeed unlikely that he would attract Zengqi's attention. Feng Delin had 1,000 or 2,000 men, so his goal was much larger. If Zengqi really won, he would definitely find him.
Feng Delin is in trouble. Of course, Zhang Zuolin will not tell Feng Delin clearly. Feng Delin's chance of winning in Yingkou will always be higher.
After listening to Zhang Zuolin's words, Feng Delin finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, then let us brothers have a big fight."
The day after Chen Hao returned to Yingkou, General Zengqi of Shengjing sent a telegram to the whole country, saying that the two palaces fled to Chang'an and did not care about the lives of the people in the Northeast. From then on, Shengjing became independent. When the telegram was sent out, the world was shocked, and all parties reacted differently, regardless of
Both players and NPCs were shocked by this news.
The Empress Dowager Cixi was furious when she learned that Zengqi had announced her independence. She immediately sent a message to Shengjing General Shoushan and Jilin General Changshun to encircle and suppress Zengqi, the traitor. Less than an hour after Cixi issued the edict, Jilin General Changshun issued the same order.
For the reason of declaring independence, only General Shoushan of Heilongjiang was left in the three northeastern provinces to support the imperial court.
Empress Dowager Cixi had no choice but to send another call to Heilongjiang General Shoushan, Aihui Deputy Governor Fengxiang, Shengjing Deputy Governor Jinchang and Yingkou Zhili Department Commander Chen Ba to suppress the bandits first. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty accused Zengqi, and the governors of the southern provinces
Although he did not come forward to support Zengqi, he sent a message to Zengqi privately.
It is difficult to implement Cixi's decree. Shoushan, Fengxiang and Jinchang are all facing pressure from the Russians. Only Chen Baxian, the commander of Yingkou Zhili Department, can send troops. However, General Shengjing governs a province, and his military strength is stronger than that of Yingkou.
, after Zengqi declared his independence, his mission authority also became larger. It was too difficult to deal with Zengqi with the power of Yingkou Hall.
The Empress Dowager Cixi understood this. After sending the telegram, she immediately convened the ministers for discussion, and then sent a telegram to urge Li Hongzhang to negotiate with the Russians. Cixi, who had previously been unyielding to Russia, expressed in her message to Li Hongzhang that she could make appropriate concessions.
, the Russian army’s retreat time can be pushed back.
When Li Hongzhang was negotiating with the great powers, he had basically reached an agreement with other countries. Under the pressure of the great powers, Russia agreed to withdraw its troops, but it found an excuse to suppress the Boxer Rebellion and asked for a delay in the withdrawal. Since the Chinese side in the northeast had the upper hand, Empress Dowager Cixi initially
She refused to give in, but now the changes in the Northeast have made her change her mind.
The most powerful thing in the game is the omnipotent system. Xuanyuan Sword persuaded Zengqi to be independent, so the system generated a task. But if Xuanyuan Sword successfully completed this task, the historical plot would have been changed too much and it would not meet the requirements of the system. So the system
Empress Dowager Cixi came up with the idea. In order to suppress the rebellion, Empress Dowager Cixi compromised with the Russians, allowing Shoushan, Jinchang and Fengxiang to mobilize troops. At the same time, the plot in the Northeast returned to historical track, and the Russians were able to actually occupy part of the Northeast and
Delaying the withdrawal paved the way for the Russo-Japanese War that would occur within a few years.
Xuanyuan Sword succeeded in lobbying Zengqi and the generation of tasks is also related to the control of the system. Zengqi's independence just gave the system a chance to restore part of its history. The "Creation" system has a principle of justice, and it seems unfair for him to cheat Xuanyuan Sword by doing so.
Fair, but the system has been prepared for this. It will take time for the imperial court and the Russians to reach an agreement. The troops confronting the Russian army cannot be mobilized before the agreement is reached. This period of time is the opportunity for Xuanyuan Sword.
If Xuanyuan Sword and Zengqi captured Yingkou during this period and took the opportunity to attack and defeat Jinchang, the system will default to Xuanyuan Sword's success in changing the historical plot. After this situation occurs, the system will follow reasonable premise in the future.
Then think of other ways to restore the historical plot. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
