It is not surprising that Xu Xilin has such a performance. As mentioned earlier, he was a typical pragmatist. He wanted to master the army and overthrow the Qing Dynasty. In history, he launched an attack too hasty, and there may be other reasons. Now, Chen Hao, a player who has tens of thousands of troops and a large number of warships, came to him. If Chen Hao was willing to support the revolution, his chances of victory would undoubtedly be much greater.

The system has always followed rationality, and each NPC has its own unique character. It is not surprising that the pragmatist Xu Xilin chose to make Chen Hao the dominant. After Chen Hao calculated the gains and losses, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Xu, although I sympathize with the revolution, to be honest, I am not optimistic about your uprising in Anqing this time, so all I can do is support some of your weapons and will not participate in it."

"Why?" Xu Xilin said with disappointment: "I have been preparing in Anqing for a long time. Brother Chen dominates the side in Jinlan Bay. If an uprising is launched, all parties will respond. At that time, Brother Chen will fight back to the country from the sea to become the dominant one. Who can stop this world?"

Chen Hao told Xu Xilin in advance that the uprising failed. He thought Xu Xilin would be overreacting, but he didn't expect that he was just a little disappointed. Xu Xilin in the revolutionary ranks is quite alternative. If he could convince him to give up the uprising, the Anqing Uprising would not be exposed without Qiu Jin, and his goal would be achieved.

After Chen Hao had the idea of ​​persuading Xu Xilin, he couldn't help it. He patiently explained: "Brother Xu and I are the same type of person. Why did I not think about it when I develop in Jinlan Bay? Although the court is corrupt, it has a deep root. Yuan Shikai has trained the elite troops of the six towns of Beiyang. You and I have no power to compete at all. After Brother Xu launched the campaign, the only response will be the revolutionaries. But how many revolutionaries are now in charge of the armed forces?"

"Even if Brother Xu is willing to shed blood for the revolution, it is difficult to achieve success by relying solely on the association. Although I have some troops at sea, I have no foundation in the country. Even if I lead the troops to attack from sea, where can I attack? If Brother Xu can trust me, it is better to give up the idea of ​​revolution for the time being and leave a useful body to wait for the opportunity."

"After I have a certain foundation in the country, you and I will jointly control a province, and then I will launch a revolution from the sea and will surely succeed in the revolution. The most combative force in the court in the future is the new army. The new army is open-minded, and the revolutionaries develop revolutionary comrades within the new army. You and I will control a place and first respond to the new army groups in various places after the uprising. In this way, the revolution will have a future."

Xu Xilin's eyes gradually became brighter. He was a person who was willing to use his brain, so he donated officials to control the revolution of the army. But after he became a military officer in the court, he realized that the strength of the army he controlled was too small. This made him confused. In history, he rashly launched an uprising, and also lost confidence in the revolution, and took the gambler mentality to take a gambler's last gambler.

After Chen Hao carefully analyzed him, he seemed to see a clear path and was quickly moved. He was able to speak up with his fair share of words, not because Chen Hao was so eloquent, but because of his achievements in the game. As he said, Xu Xilin and he were the same type of people. In order to achieve their ultimate goal, they were dissatisfied with the court and were willing to serve as a court official to master their strength.

Xu Xilin calmed down his excitement and said, "Brother Chen. You convinced me to lie down and wait for the opportunity as you said. Which province should we regard as the foundation of development?"

Chen Hao soon received a system prompt: "Player Chen Baxian, because your way of doing things has been recognized by Xu Xilin, Xu Xilin is very respectful to you. He shows a trend of focusing on you. If you recruit Xu Xilin now, there is an 80% chance of success, do you choose to recruit?"

In the game, the recruitment of NPC is either because of the recruitment mission, because of great kindness to NPC, or because of common interests, or like-minded people. Yang Du and Wu Peifu are willing to serve Chen Hao. It is mainly because Chen Hao has always supported them, so he has kindness to them. And if they want to go further in the officialdom at that time, they must become Chen Hao's confidants, which is considered to have common interests, so the two of them defect to him.

Xu Xilin's way of acting is very similar to Chen Hao's performance in the game. The system determined that the two were like-minded, so Chen Hao received such a system prompt after saying something. If he recruited Xu Xilin, the Anqing Uprising would be unlikely to happen, and another plot of the game will change.

A butterfly flapping its wings may cause great changes in history, and the same is true in the game. Chen Hao did many big things in the game, and it became easier to change history after the reputation attributes were improved. It is difficult to let him overthrow the imperial court in advance to change the plot tasks, but to change some local plots, relying on his own influence can do it.

Chen Hao decided to recruit Xu Xilin, who was the core member of the Restoration Association. After recruiting, he played a huge role in the development of Guizhou. He said sincerely: "Brother Xu, the strength of the court is still not weak. If you want to control a province, you can only start from the weak position of the court. I have already started to make arrangements in Guizhou."

"Guizhou?" Xu Xilin was stunned and said, "Brother Chen, there are many provinces with weak control in the imperial court. Why did you choose Guizhou? Guizhou is too remote, right?"

Chen Hao took out a map and said, "Brother Xu can take a look. I have mastered Jinlan Bay at present, and I will soon control Vietnam. I am very safe to develop in Guizhou for the time being. When my strength is enough to occupy Guizhou, we can lead the army to take Guangxi. At that time, my fleet can land on the coast of Guangxi, and it will not be difficult to take Guangxi on both sides."

"After controlling Guizhou and Guangxi provinces, and having a sea outlet and strong naval support, we can be invincible. At that time, revolutionary parties and masses in various places responded to launch an uprising. Except for provinces with strong control in the north, all the provinces in the south could definitely be restored."

After staring at the map for a long time, Xu Xilin sighed: "Brother Chen is indeed a talented person. I am ashamed of myself. If Brother Chen doesn't dislike me, I am willing to follow you to Guizhou for development."

"Player Chen Baxian, Xu Xilin is willing to defect to you. From now on, will you choose to accept your employment?"

Chen Hao had only 80% sure that he had taken the initiative to conquer Xu Xilin. After he told all his plans, Xu Xilin actually took the initiative to surrender.

NPC actively seeks to join players either because of huge interests or the like-minded match rate is very high. Most of the NPC who actively seeks to join players because of interests are not very reliable in character; because like-minded people seeks to join players will be different. Even if the players who seek to join players do not have the special skills like the Emperor's Mind, as long as the player's philosophy does not change greatly, NPC will not be judged.

Of course Chen Hao would not refuse. He thought it would take some trouble to come to Anqing, but he did not expect to easily subdue Xu Xilin. Xu Xilin is not as politically as Yang Du, and is not as good as Wu Peifu in military affairs. However, he has 78 points in power and 72 points in command, which is barely considered as both civil and military. He is a person who can stand alone.

Xu Xilin belongs to the well-known NPC, but not the top category, so his special stunts are three B-level special stunts. The first B-level special stunt is "Assassination", which is the attribute of recruiting NPC in the name of the Ai Party, and the chance of NPC surrendering increases by 50%; the second special stunt is forbearance, and in order to achieve the goal, he can act as an undercover agent for a long time and use other people's power to play a huge role; the third is the military individual stunt "assassination", which increases the success rate when leading the assassination of senior NPC officials by 40%.

Xu Xilin was a decisive person. After he defected to Chen Hao and accepted Chen Hao's philosophy, he decisively gave up launching an uprising in Anhui. However, Chen Hao advised him to stay in Anhui for a while, and then look for opportunities to work in Guizhou, because Anhui also has some NPC officers developed by Xu Xilin and many loyal subordinates.

Xu Xilin's continued staying in Anhui can win over more officers, which will be a great supplement to Chen Hao's base in Guizhou at that time. Moreover, Chen Hao's goal is not only Xu Xilin, he hopes to capture all the important NPCs of the Restoration Association in one go, so he entrusted Xu Xilin to Zhejiang to lobby Qiu Jin, Tao Chengzhang and others. If it can be successful, after he launched an uprising in 1911, his government affairs team would basically be intact.

Chen Hao did not follow Xu Xilin to Zhejiang. Qiu Jin issued a mission to support Xu Xilin's arms, but he kidnapped Xu Xilin away. Now he doesn't know what Qiu Jin's attitude is. It would be best if Xu Xilin could convince Qiu Jin to shift the focus to the southwest. However, if Qiu Jin loses favorable feelings for him because of this, he can only find another opportunity to make up for it in the future.

After Xu Xilin asked Anhui Governor Enming to take leave, he went to Zhejiang alone. He wanted to discuss with other members of the Restoration Association how to develop in the future. Chen Hao chose to go north. In his plan, the base area needed at least three top NPCs, one of whom was mainly responsible for internal affairs, the other was mainly responsible for military affairs, and the other was responsible for intelligence.

Chen Hao has Yang Du in charge of internal affairs, and Wu Peifu is temporarily in charge of military affairs. He is still missing a top spy leader. In modern games, the spy leader is indispensable, including modern spys, which is also a very important part of a regime. "War" is a modern game. After players establish bases, there are NPCs and players. The situation is very complicated, and establishing an intelligence department is necessary.

If he has a powerful spy leader, he can not only grasp information from all over the country, but also prevent others from infiltration into the base areas. Chen Hao has no background in reality, and he has never dared to develop a large number of players, just because he is afraid that someone will send a large number of players undercover. Now the 20,000 players he recruits are hard to say whether anyone has been bribed. After establishing an intelligence department, the intelligence department can detect spies based on some clues exposed by the players in the game. (To be continued...)
