Zhang Mingqi quickly gave the court a report, in which he praised Chen Baxian for his loyalty to the country, his support of the imperial court's orthodoxy, and his love for Chunxu. However, Emperor Guangxu appointed him governor of Guangxi, which made Chen Baxian very excited. For this reason, Master Zhang repeatedly
Conversation with Mr. Chen. Because Mr. Zhang was very good at ideological work, Mr. Chen did not accept the canonization of Emperor Guangxu. However, Mr. Zhang felt that for the sake of safety, he should abdicate and make way for others. Chen Baxian served as the governor of Guangxi, which would be foolproof.
Zhang Mingqi's account is very credible, because after Emperor Guangxu conferred Chen Baxian the governorship of Guangxi, Chen Baxian did not accept it. Mr. Chen said in the telegram that as a soldier, he would only focus on military and state affairs. If any foreign country dared to invade his own country, he would not accept it.
Fight bloody battles. If unrest breaks out in the country, Mr. Chen will stand still.
The regent Zaifeng read Zhang Mingqi's report and immediately convened ministers to discuss countermeasures. Finally, he came up with a solution that had the best of both worlds. He appointed Zhang Renjun, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, as governor of Liangjiang, and Zhang Mingqi, governor of Guangxi, was promoted to governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. At the same time, Emperor Xuantong decreed that he was promoted to admiral of the Nanyang Navy. Chen Baxian was appointed as the governor of Guangxi.
The governor also serves as the admiral of the Nanyang Navy.
Emperor Guangxu and Emperor Xuantong issued decrees for appointments at the same time. Lord Chen had no reason to refuse, so he happily accepted the two imperial edicts. The court expressed dissatisfaction with this, but Lord Chen quickly explained in a statement that if he did not accept the canonization of the late Emperor Guangxu, he would only
Accepting the canonization by the imperial court goes against the previous attitude of not helping each other, and will be reviled by everyone in the world. This is a last resort.
This explanation was barely feasible. The imperial court wanted to win over Master Chen, who was in charge of the navy, so it had to acquiesce to the matter. After the matter was settled, Master Chen led the newly formed Polu Army team to board the warship.
Under escort, he landed in Qinzhou, and then rushed to Guilin to take office.
Yingyu was furious when he heard the news. After Huang Shaohong reminded him, he had already contacted Zhang Mingqi. Why would this result happen? Chen Baxian not only received the appointment from the court, but also accepted the imperial edict of Emperor Guangxu. Such an initiative
It was enough that the imperial court was indifferent to Shu Liangduan's behavior! Guangxu, who was taken advantage of, did not retract the imperial edict.
Chen Baxian easily secured the position of governor of Guangxi. What will Yingyu use to compete in the future? Apart from the fact that there are more players in the base area than his opponents, Yingyu doesn't feel that he has any advantages. Just like when he was in Huangpu, Chen Baxian used the imperial court's
He was suppressed in name only, and he became extremely passive again.
After this incident, Yingyu paid more attention to Huang Shaohong. He called Huang Shaohong to the base area to ask for advice. Huang Shaohong pondered for a long time and said: "Sir, Chen Baxian is now the governor of Guangxi. We have no chance to compete with him in Guangxi."
Ying Yu's face was ashen and he said: "I gave up Guangdong and came to Guangxi to start a business. Guangxi no longer has a place to establish itself. Where should I go from now on?"
Ying Yu's statement that he has no place to establish himself is an exaggeration. There are countless players in the game, and not everyone needs a province to develop. Ying Yu is different. He is a child of a top aristocratic family. Not long after the game started, the children of major aristocratic families acquiesced in the development territory.
. He jumped from Guangdong to Guangxi because there are no children from big families here. If Guangxi is lost again, he will definitely become a laughing stock if he goes to other provinces to develop.
Ying Yu was arrogant and arrogant. Of course he couldn't stand this kind of anger. Besides, he would also be suppressed if he took people to other people's territory. Just when he was panicking, Huang Shaohong shook his head and said: "We are not qualified to compete with Chen Baxian in the entire Guangxi."
Let’s start competition, but we don’t have to leave Guangxi. Your Majesty, the current troops are not too many, and one government can accommodate them. You can consider letting the land of one government break away from Guangxi and pledge allegiance to Emperor Guangxu, so that it will not be under the jurisdiction of the governor of Guangxi.”
Yingyu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and he quickly said: "How to do it specifically?"
Huang Shaohong smiled calmly and said: "Emperor Guangxu was taken to Yunnan by Xiliang, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, so it is best for the city to be loyal to Guangxu to be bordering Yunnan, so that if Chen Ba attacks first, Xiliang will come forward. Sicheng Prefecture and Zhen'an Prefecture both meet the conditions.
Your Excellency also has foundations in these two prefectures, and usually gives a lot of money to the two prefects, so this time I have to make some plans for them."
"The two prefects can buy them some small favors with money, but if they do not obey the jurisdiction of the Guangxi governor and declare their allegiance to Emperor Guangxu, they will need other benefits. Your Excellency must send someone to Yunnan. If they can get close to Emperor Guangxu
If you are a famous person, it will basically be no problem to help Guangxu promote the official positions of the two prefects."
Huang Shaohong's words made Ying Yu suddenly realize that if the two prefects took the initiative to join him, Emperor Guangxu would definitely give them a reward. If they could get promoted and make a fortune, I believe the two prefects would be willing to take a gamble and pledge their allegiance to Guangxu to see if there is a chance for them to become prosperous. If these two
The government was loyal to Guangxu, and Chen Baxian dared to send his troops to suppress them, which was to go against Guangxu and Xiliang, and Yunnan would not sit idly by.
With Yingyu occupying the territory of these two prefectures, and cooperating with Huo Qubing who controls Nanning Prefecture, it is impossible for Chen Baxian to monopolize Guangxi. As for sending people to Yunnan to contact Yingyu, he is not worried. He can directly ask Long Fei for help.
.Long Fei did well under Xiliang, and this time he was the one who suggested Xiliang welcome Guangxu. He came forward to plead with Guangxu to appoint two NPC prefects without any problem.
Today's biggest competitor is Chen Baxian. I believe Long Fei is not willing to let Chen Baxian dominate Guangxi. He will definitely be willing to help. Thinking of this, Yingyu quit the game, then dialed Long Fei's phone number and paid a lot of money.
After paying some price, Long Fei agreed.
Long Fei was accompanying Guangxu back to Yunnan. He had been worried about something unexpected happening. He was relieved when the team left Guizhou. Guangxu conferred Chen Baxian as governor of Guangxi. He was already surprised. As a result, the imperial court also issued a decree to confer the title, and Chen Baxian also conferred the title at the same time.
He couldn't understand that after receiving two imperial edicts, they were still accepted.
When Chen Baxian accepted the canonization of both Guangxu and Xuantong, Long Fei had been observing Guangxu's reaction, but Guangxu was always chatting and laughing. After agreeing to help Yingyu win the canonization of the two mansions, Long Fei said to Guangxu in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you appoint Chen Baxian as the
Governor of Guangxi, this is a great grace. He was vague at first and refused to accept the appointment, and then he only agreed to serve after the imperial court issued an order. I'm afraid this person is unreliable!"
Guangxu waved his hand and said: "Long Aiqing doesn't have to worry. He explained this to me in advance when I decreed the appointment of Chen Aiqing as governor of Guangxi. Chen Aiqing is loyal, and he thinks there are fewer governors who support me, so he made the decision
The strategy is for me to take Guangxi into my hands. First let me appoint him as the governor of Guangxi to stimulate the rebel Zaifeng, and let Zaifeng promise benefits in order to win over him, so that Chen Aiqing can take Guangxi without any bloodshed."
"Chen Aiqing is indeed a mastermind. Now he has easily taken over Guangxi and has taken control of the military and political power in Guangxi. Guangxi is adjacent to Yunnan and is a strategic place for future expansion. I feel more at ease with Chen Aiqing in charge."
Long Fei was dumbfounded. This reason was too strong! Chen Baxian actually told Guangxu from the beginning that he was working as an undercover agent. Such nonsense could only coax Guangxu. Long Fei definitely didn't believe it. The truth was that Chen Baxian wanted to please both sides.
.But Emperor Guangxu was deceived, and Long Fei had nothing to do about it. Who said Chen Baxian was Guangxu's savior?
After thinking for a moment, Long Fei quickly caught a loophole. He sighed and said: "Wei Chen is still worried. If Mr. Chen really wants to control Guangxi for His Majesty, now he has achieved his goal. In order to strengthen His Majesty's momentum, he has greatly
You can send a telegram to say that Guangxi supports His Majesty, but why are you holding back now?"
Guangxu said with a smile: "Long Aiqing should know about the fast horse coming to report yesterday. It was the messenger sent by Chen Aiqing. Chen Aiqing said that he does not have enough control over Guangxi now. When he has complete control of Guangxi in a few months, he will tell the outside world
Power on to express your full support for me."
"In addition, Chen Aiqing now has a very close relationship with Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Zhang Mingqi seems to also want to support me. Chen Aiqing will be in contact with Zhang Mingqi during this period. He said that it would be best if he could persuade Zhang Mingqi to be loyal to me. If he could not persuade Zhang Mingqi, he would go to land and sea.
If they attack Guangdong from two fronts and then declare their support for me, my reputation will be even higher."
"You can fool me!" Long Fei's heart was filled with ten thousand grass-mud horses. Chen Baxian was playing with futures psychology, making Emperor Guangxu expect greater benefits. When Guangxu ordered him to appoint him as the governor of Guangxi, he didn't think so.
What a great hope. In the end, he really succeeded in controlling Guangxi. Now he said that he would support Guangxu after controlling Guangdong. Guangxu naturally believed it.
When Long Fei was wondering if there were other loopholes, Guangxu waved his hand and said: "Long Aiqing, you and Chen Aiqing are both my ministers. I hope you will unite with the outside world and don't slander each other. Remember this."
.”
Long Fei immediately gave up the idea of continuing to speak ill of Chen Baxian. He knew that Chen Baxian's status in Guangxu's mind was much higher than his own. If he continued to slander and make Guangxu unhappy, it would be troublesome.
After thinking about it, Long Fei smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of targeting Mr. Chen, I am just not familiar with him. A few days ago, I sent someone to contact Lu Zihao, the prefect of Zhen'an Prefecture, and Huang Fayi, the prefect of Sicheng Prefecture, hoping that the two of them
Call to support the emperor. Yesterday, the two of them responded to the message. They both have the intention to support the emperor, but they are still a little undecided..."
Guangxu's eyes lit up and he said: "This is a good thing! Chen Aiqing can't support me publicly now. It's good for these two governments to take refuge in public. Long Aiqing, go and draft two imperial edicts for me, appointing Lu Zihao as the inspector and town security officer of Guangxi."
Magistrate, Huang Fayi is the envoy to Guangxi and the magistrate of Sicheng Prefecture, and there will be other rewards in the future."
Emperor Guangxu's appointment was a strange one. Both the chief envoy and the inspector-general were relatively weak, so they were allowed to take on the actual duties of the prefect. After Guangxu's appointment, as long as Ying Yu's side works harder, the two prefects can basically be exempted from Guangxi.
The governor has jurisdiction.
Just when Long Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Guangxu add: "In addition, give a secret order to the two prefects, asking them to oppose Chen Aiqing on the surface, but secretly obey Chen Aiqing's orders." (To be continued.
