It was not surprising that Yuan Shikai sent someone to find Chen Hao on behalf of the imperial court. When he first settled in Cam Ranh Bay, Lao Yuan had already sent an envoy. Lao Yuan said that he would try his best to mediate in front of Lafayette and try to get Chen Hao to get Lao Fo.
Buddha's understanding allowed him to relax and continue to serve the court.
Chen Hao knew what Lao Yuan was like. He was willing to send people all the way to Nanyang, which must have been approved by Ci Xi. He first sent people to express that he would try his best to mediate, because he wanted Chen Hao to be grateful to him, not to Ci Xi.
The Queen Mother was grateful. In the final analysis, Lao Yuan was interested in the warship in his hands and wanted to take him under his command.
Chen Hao pretended to be confused, and he was very willing to be won over by Lao Yuan, because Lao Yuan was the president of the Republic of China. Before Lao Yuan became emperor, if he had a fleet in his hands and could pretend to be a naval commander, not only could he
Taking the opportunity to devour the imperial warships, he still had political capital after the fall of Lao Yuan, and was able to be more at home in the warlord melee.
Yuan Shikai's envoy has been back for a while, and he should have arrived during this time. Most likely, Cixi sent an envoy to announce the decree this time. When Yuan's people were at Cam Ranh Bay, Chen Hao euphemistically said that he was living under someone else's roof in Nanyang, and Vietnam
He had always been a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. If he could have a suitable status in Vietnam, he hoped that one day he could follow Master Yuan's example in Korea and do great things for the court.
Chen Hao mentioned this to the envoy in a roundabout way. He wanted Vietnam to hold an official position in the imperial court. When Yuan Shikai was in Korea, he put down the "Renwu Military Rebellion" and the "Jiashen Coup", and at the age of twenty-six he had a "stationed"
The Prime Minister of North Korea "Minister for Negotiation of Trade Matters" became the veritable emperor of North Korea. Chen Hao mentioned this to the envoy, in addition to tactfully flattering Lao Yuan to express his attitude. It was mainly for the sake of legal status.
After the Qing Dynasty signed a contract with France, Vietnam was no longer a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and the imperial court was no longer qualified to appoint Chen Hao to a position like that. Even if the imperial court wanted to appoint Chen Hao, it could only grant the official position in private and did not dare to make such a position public. Logically speaking, Chen Hao
Such an official position that Hao Ding dared not publicize was of no use, but Chen Hao was interested because there were Chinese NPCs like the Black Flag Army operating in Vietnam, and having a position would make it easier for him to win over these NPCs.
Chen Hao has ambitions for Vietnam. Even if he cannot truly control Vietnam because of the large number of Vietnamese players, he still wants to one day become the emperor like Yuan Shikai in North Korea. The French are not vegetarians, and with Chen Hao's strength, he does not dare to do that for the time being.
But it is always a good thing to have a legal identity.
The Cam Ranh Bay Revolutionary Party and the people in the court did not know the existence of each other. Chen Hao did not hesitate to choose to meet the court angel first, leaving the Revolutionary Party in the dust. Although the Revolutionary Party at this stage is uprising everywhere, it cannot achieve great things. Chen Hao
They had been causing trouble when they were still in China. This time, they saw that Chen Hao had occupied Cam Ranh Bay and had an ironclad ship in his hands. They probably came to promote revolution again and made Chen Hao firmly side with the revolutionary party.
Chen Hao returned to the headquarters first, and then ordered Shuanghui Harmony to bring the imperial envoy over. The person responsible for delivering the order was an eunuch, and beside him was a middle-aged Confucian scholar. This middle-aged Confucian scholar was from Yuan Shikai, who was the one last time
He came for ventilation in advance. After the Empress Dowager Cixi agreed to the policy of appeasing Chen Hao, Yuan Shikai sent him as the eunuch's guide and took the eunuch to Camlan Bay.
The eunuch was frightened along the way and had resentment in his heart. But he did not dare to offend Chen Hao. He delivered the decree in a sharp voice: "According to the Queen Mother's decree, although Chen Baxian said that he was extremely reckless in Yingkou and provoked the British and Japanese international friends, in the end,
He is loyal to the country. Today, Chen Baxian is appointed as the "Minister of the Prime Minister Stationed in Vietnam to Negotiate and Trade Matters", with the title of third grade, and the Yingkou incident will be forgotten."
After the eunuch read out the oral instructions of the Empress Dowager Cixi, he said with a smile: "Master Chen, Lafayette said that the court recognizes your official position, but this is the territory of the French after all. I hope you will not show it around."
Chen Hao patted his chest and promised: "Trouble the angel to tell Lafayette that Ba Xian has always been loyal to the imperial court and his ministers to Lafayette. This heart can be learned from time to time! In the future in Vietnam, I will know how to use discretion and share the worries of the imperial court properly.
It will embarrass Lafayette."
The purpose of the Empress Dowager Cixi asking the eunuch to add such a sentence is obvious. She not only wants the loyalty of Chen Hao's fleet, but is unwilling to let Chen Hao cause trouble for her in Vietnam. Chen Hao doesn't mind being used by him, anyway, until the Empress Dowager Cixi returns to Xida
There will be no more naval battles in the Qing Dynasty, and he does not have to lose his strength to serve the court.
After Chen Hao received the order, he calmly put two gold bars in the eunuch's sleeves. The originally resentful eunuch named Wu smiled happily. He joked: "The only person in the Qing Dynasty who can get promoted and make a fortune by disobeying Lafayette's orders is Mr. Chen."
Yes, Mr. Chen is worthy of being a pillar of the Qing Dynasty."
Chen Hao smiled slightly and said: "Thank you angel for the compliment! I have prepared a banquet and I will ask the angel to honor you later."
Eunuch Wu left Chen Hao's headquarters. The middle-aged scholar sent by Yuan Shikai gave Chen Hao a meaningful look before leaving. After the two returned to their residence, Chen Hao ordered Shuanghui Harmony to take the middle-aged scholar privately.
After I found him, Lao Yuan spent a lot of effort to show his kindness, so Chen Hao also had to show his kindness.
After the middle-aged scholar returned to the headquarters, Chen Hao greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Liu, we meet again. I'm very grateful to Mr. Baxian for troublesome traveling back and forth."
Mr. Liu smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Chen, you are serious! I also work for Mr. Zhongtang. What you should thank is Yuan Zhongtang, who is just an errand. This time, Mr. Zhongtang went to great lengths to get the Queen Mother to agree to pardon Mr. Chen.
Lots of words.”
Chen Haosurong said: "I have always admired Master Zhongtang the most. I offended international friends in Yingkou on impulse and was convicted by the court. I had to deal with Master Zhongtang many times to get the court's understanding. I will definitely remember Master Zhongtang's great kindness and kindness. In the future, Master Zhongtang will only be loyal to you."
Call me, and I won’t hesitate to break my body to pieces.”
After Chen Hao made his statement, Mr. Liu achieved the purpose of his mission. He relaxed a lot and said with a smile: "Sir, Mr. Chen, a young and talented man, always likes to cultivate him. He has a bright future. Maybe I will have to rely on you to support him in the future."
.”
"Sir, you are so complimentary. I am a laggard in learning. I will need more advice from you in the future..."
Yuan Shikai's envoy was named Liu Wencai. Chen Hao had never heard of this person's name, but he was at least one of Yuan's staff. When he first came, Chen Hao asked Yang Du to use his "eyesight" stunt to see Liu Wencai's Machiavellian attributes.
Not high, but he has 82 points in management, so he is considered a talent. Chen Hao was quite polite to him.
After Liu Wencai left, Chen Hao told Shuanghui Harmony to call the representatives of the Revolutionary Party to the headquarters. After a while, three representatives came in. Chen Hao didn't ask who the representatives of the Revolutionary Party were before, but when he saw the people coming, he couldn't help but
He was stunned, then he went up to her with a smile on his face and said, "Sister Tang, long time no see."
The representatives of the Revolutionary Party are three women. The leader is Tang Qunying. She helped Chen Hao a lot in the Northeast. Tang Qunying had been idle at home for a long time. Qiu Jin, who was friends with her and was studying in Japan, invited her to go east.
Japan. According to original history, she arrived in the autumn of 1904
She arrived in Japan and joined the Huaxing Association and the Tongmenghui the following year. Sun Yat-sen praised her as "the first female compatriot to join the revolutionary ranks and the leader of twenty million female compatriots." However, due to Chen Hao's huge influence in the game
, this plot has changed.
Chen Hao controlled tens of thousands of elite troops and more than ten armored ships, which attracted the attention of the Revolutionary Party, which had always believed that he was leaning toward revolution. Sun Wen personally ordered the Revolutionary Party to contact Chen Hao. Since Tang Qunying was with him in the Northeast
After cooperation, the Revolutionary Party developed Tang Qunying into a member of the Huaxing Society in advance and sent her to Cam Ranh Bay to encourage Chen Hao to launch an uprising.
Seeing the enthusiasm on Chen Hao's face, Tang Qunying also smiled. She felt that Chen Hao had not changed due to the change of identity. She smiled and said: "The power in your hands is getting stronger and stronger. I thought you didn't recognize me as the eldest sister. No more."
I’m leaning toward revolution!”
Chen Hao said seriously: "Sister, I definitely want to recognize you, but to be honest, I really have no interest in revolution anymore."
Tang Qunying said in surprise: "Why does Little Brother Chen speak like this?"
Chen Hao sneered: "I have always sympathized with the revolution and wanted to overthrow the corrupt imperial court. I thought your revolutionary party was a like-minded people, but what happened some time ago was too disappointing. Sister Tang, I robbed a foreign warship in Yingkou
Afterwards, you can’t possibly not know what the Revolutionary Party’s attitude is towards me, right?”
Tang Qunying was at a loss for words. When Chen Hao robbed a warship in Yingkou, the imperial court ordered him to be wanted. Compared with the actions of the revolutionary party in the imperial court, it was even more chilling. Many revolutionaries were active in Japan, so I felt that Chen Hao had used dirty tricks.
It is foolish to provoke international friends. Many revolutionaries wrote articles condemning Chen Hao's behavior, and some senior leaders of the Revolutionary Party even came forward to express their opinions, saying that a black sheep like Chen Hao could not be allowed to join the Revolutionary Party when he was wanted by the court and had no other choice.
Chen Hao robbed warships and provoked the powerful Britain and Japan. The revolutionaries felt that he was seeking death and did not think that the power at hand could be preserved. Because of this, although the top leaders of the revolutionaries did not add insult to injury, they did not even bother to defend Chen Hao.
Make a distinction.
Tang Qunying was a reasonable person, so she felt that it was understandable for Chen Hao to have complaints. After a long silence, she sighed and said: "What you did was a little too extreme at that time. It is normal for revolutionary comrades to have different opinions. Don't think too much about it."
.”
Chen Hao sneered and said: "I don't care what the revolutionary comrades think, and I have no interest in knowing. Anyway, I am not a revolutionary party. I was not a revolutionary when I was an official in the court. Now even if I am desperate, I have no interest in the revolutionary party.
I won’t ask the Revolutionary Party to take me in.”
Seeing Chen Hao's attitude, Tang Qunying didn't know how to persuade her. At this time, a girl behind her said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you like this? Sister Tang has already explained it to you, but you still speak so unpleasantly.
Do you want to continue to be a lackey of the imperial court?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.)
