The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Liu Ai said nothing, put the Guan Shan Dao on his back, and prepared for a bloody fight.

Du Lisan held him down: "Don't be impulsive. This matter must be reported to the rebel army. Revenge should not be rushed."

In Liu Ai's grief and anger, his voice was no longer gentle: "You report it, and I will detect the whereabouts of the Japanese."

Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Du Lisan hurriedly sent a telegram to Ge Yunpeng.

The Huining Floating Bridge was destroyed by floods last year, and a new one was built.

A new concrete stone bridge is being built next to the pontoon bridge. The construction site is in full swing. While the workers are working, they see soldiers wearing gray-green military uniforms crossing the bridge silently with artillery yoked on horses.

"Boss Zhu, are they going to fight the Japanese?"

Supervisor Zhu Jianye was puzzled: "I haven't heard of it."

One afternoon, about two thousand soldiers crossed the river, and the escort team of the Guanwai Chamber of Commerce also gathered.

What's interesting is that the new army that Wu Luzhen originally built in Yanbian was now withdrawn to the rear and away from the land of right and wrong.

Zhu Jianye went to inquire and learned that as Xu Shichang was transferred back to the capital, Wu Luzhen also lost support and was transferred back to the capital at the beginning of the year.

In April, Wu Luzhen was sent to Germany and France to inspect military affairs, and she is still abroad.

The new border defense army once established by Wu Luzhen was now again in the hands of Xiliang, the new governor of Fengtian.

Xiliang was a die-hard loyalist of the Qing court and had no friendship with Zhao Chuanxin.

As soon as he took office, he found power leakage outside the customs and financial difficulties.

The New Deal implemented by Xu Shichang outside the customs was very effective, but Zhao Chuanxin's various places were like giant sponges, absorbing tons of money from outside the customs.

In addition, all the silver flows to the center of the bottomless pit, resulting in no silver available on the surface.

Xiliang reported to the Qing court that he wanted to vigorously immigrate, establish governance, separate defenses, and open banks.

But I was told that every year, a large number of immigrants moved outside the customs, but not to Fengtian or the areas under the jurisdiction of the Qing court, but to Lugang Town and Lubin Mansion...

Xiliang asked Governor Zhu Jiabao: "What about opening a bank?"

Zhu Jiabao was helpless: "Sir, there are Lubinfu banks everywhere outside the customs. Outside the customs, in Hankou, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hong Kong Island, and Macao Island, there are Lubinfu banks everywhere. Sir, look there is an Internet shadow there. The theater was built in Lugang Town, and there was an endless stream of moviegoers every day. They only received the banknotes issued by Lubinfu Bank. The people discovered that the banknotes of Lubinfu Bank can be exchanged for silver at any time. They are of high quality, cannot be counterfeited, and are easy to carry. Even foreign banks are no match for them..."

Xiliang was confused.

It's not possible to immigrate, it's not possible to open a bank.

He thought again: "If we borrow money from the United States, on the one hand, the United States can contain Japan and Russia, and on the other hand, it can also pay a huge sum of money for road construction."

Zhu Jiabao smiled bitterly: "Zhao Chuanxin got on the line with the United States last year. The American consortium spent huge sums of money to build railways and tram tracks for Zhao Chuanxin..."

Xiliang was confused: "What does Zhao Chuanxin want to do? Is this leaving us with no way to go?"

Zhu Jiabao added: "In terms of border defense, there are the Gray Ax Army in the north and the Lugang Town Insurance Team and the Backwater Army in the east, which are enough to guard against Japan and Russia. Zhao Chuanxin even sent people to take over the Changchun Prefecture Railway Station. Japan and Russia dare not be angry. Dare to speak.”

Xiliang's intestines almost knotted when he heard this. Zhao Chuanxin had never rebelled, but he seemed to have been silently withdrawing from the customs for a long time.

Recently, Xiliang received news.

After the Japanese annexed South Korea, they no longer kept their peace and were eager to make moves in the Huining area, killing people from the escort team of the Guanwai Chamber of Commerce.

When Zhu Jiabao came to him, he gave an intriguing order: "Withdraw the new border defense troops from the town built by Wu Luzhen."

Zhu Jiabao did not dare to offend Zhao Chuanxin: "Is it inappropriate to target him so obviously?"

Xiliang has been feeling worried and angry recently, and his health is not as good as before.

He said angrily: "I have made up my mind! If Zhao Chuanxin digs my foundation outside the Great Clearance, then we have nothing to say."

…

Japan.

Miyashita Taiyoshi took his Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Hatchlings and bombed several places in Tokyo within a few months.

Isotani Rensuke was unable to escape. Not only did he witness them becoming more and more skilled in making bombs, but he also wanted to help.

Miyashita Taiyoshi went too far and wrote with charcoal on the wall where two places were bombed - Isoya left his name.

Coupled with the cane that Rensuke Isotani had left at the "crime scene" before, he had no way of turning back.

Four people were sitting on their knees in the wooden house.

Miyashita Taiyoshi's face was serious: "What is our anti-Zhao Society slogan?"

Outside Hirotsu, Utagawa Masanobu and Isotani Rensuke shouted together: "Blow up the emperor!"

At first Isotani Rensuke refused to follow the shout.

He had to shout later.

By now, I can shout smoothly.

The goal of anti-Zhaoshe was to blow up the emperor.

Isotani Rensuke once asked: "Why don't we call it the Anti-Mikado Society?"

Miyashita Taiyoshi scolded: "What are you talking about, the Anti-Emperor Society? It's really vulgar! Let's call it the Anti-Zhao Society! Don't mention the Emperor, I feel sick when I mention the Emperor. Now that he has annexed Korea, he will definitely launch a war and tax the people. ”

Isotani Rensuke was speechless.

Sure enough, not long after, Miyashita Taiyoshi found out that the emperor was going to pay homage to the newly restored Spiritualist Society and ask for the blessings of the spirits of the soldiers and generals in heaven, so he knew that he must want to fight again.

"Our goal this time is the Spiritualist Club and the Emperor, and we will blow them up into the sky together!"

Utagawa Masanobu was in charge of money and supplies: "The power of black powder is too small. If you want to blow up the Spiritual Club, I'm afraid it will take a bomb that can be lifted by the four of us. We have more and more money, but the management of military gunpowder is getting worse." It’s getting stricter and you can’t buy it at all.”

Isotani Rensuke complained: You bomb this and that every day, how can you not be strictly controlled?

Miyashita Taiyoshi does not love money and has truly escaped from vulgar tastes.

But money always comes to your door automatically.

For example, if you blow up the house of a certain official and blow up the embezzled money of this person, you will not take the ill-gotten gains in vain.

Gradually, funds actually became abundant.

Miyashita Taiji thought for a while: "I will figure out a solution for this matter."

Isotani Rensuke habitually slanders: You have no idea, you are just a lunatic from the countryside.

Miyashita Taiji got up and walked towards the back hall.

Isotani Rensuke also stood up: "I'm going to make it easier."

Hiratsugai and Utagawa Masanobu looked at each other, one guarding the front door and the other guarding the back door.

Isotani Rensuke secretly followed Miyashita Taiyoshi to the back hall.

He clung to the window paper and eavesdropped.

"Song'er's true name, protect my true spirit. Show yourself, gangster."

Outside, Isotani Rensuke: "..."

Madman, indeed madman.

"Song'er's true name, protect my true spirit. Show yourself, gangster."

"..."

at this time.

Just listen to Miyashita Taiji inside talking to himself: "Is it really a lie? But I have already said that I will solve this matter. How will it end now? By the way, the mantra usually needs to be recited three times. Try it again. Try. Sing your true name and protect me, gangster."

"What do you want from me?"

Outside the window, Isotani Rensuke's eyes widened.

This voice was deep, had a strong resonance in the chest, and had a bit of murderous intent. It definitely did not belong to Miyashita Taiyoshi.

Gangster?

Could it be...

Miyashita Taiyoshi said: "Mr. Gangster, we are going to blow up the Spiritual Club again because the Emperor is going to worship. But we lack military gunpowder, so we ask for your help."

The voice said, "I can give you a finished bomb."

Miyashita Taiyoshi's voice was filled with joy: "That's great. The bombs made by the gangsters must be extraordinary."

"Yes, the noise will be loud." The voice suddenly paused: "Anyone eavesdropping outside the window should leave quickly."

Isotani Rensuke felt terrified and ran away.

I ran back to the front hall, still in shock.

Not long after, Miyashita Taiji came back with a sullen face.

His cold eyes swept across the three people in the room, and finally fell on Rensuke Isotani, but said nothing.

Isotani Rensuke sneered, refusing to admit that he was eavesdropping, and said haha: "The weather is really nice today."

Miyashita Taiji withdrew his gaze: "I have prepared a bomb, a remotely controlled bomb. But how to place it in the Spiritual Society is a problem. All the talented people have brainstormed and come up with a solution."

Isotani Rensuke felt guilty and worried that this lunatic would blow him up in advance. He was eager to show off and his mind was spinning extremely fast.

Having an idea, Isotani Rensuke said: "Why do we have to go to the Soul Summoning Society? We can set up an ambush on the only way to the Soul Summoning Society. Anyway, our target in opposing the Zhao Society is the Emperor."

Miyashita Taiji's eyes lit up: "Not bad!"

…

Sakhalin.

Japanese warships carrying soldiers passed through Aniva Bay and arrived at the Otomari military port in Otomari County.

One by one, soldiers with live ammunition pushed four 28-cm howitzers and ten Bao-type machine guns ashore.

They organized their troops and headed north.

Ken Nakamura of the incense tavern looked at the mosquito repellent incense at the door and marveled: "If I can make this kind of mosquito repellent and sell it to department stores, I will be rich in less than two years."

Clara looked at him with admiration.

Nakamura Ken is very poor, but Nakamura Ken always has enough to eat and drink.

Peter Grabbin came over with a notebook under his arm and pushed Ken Nakamura: "Go in?"

The three of them entered the tavern.

Peter Grabbin ordered a glass of wine and came to the table to write furiously.

He watched two movies in a row, "Fist of Fury" and "Guan Shan Dao", and he was making some gains in his acting skills, which he needed to digest and record carefully.

The people next to me started teasing and even ridiculing: "Hey, isn't it time for us to go to university to learn about family matters?"

Peter Grebin ignored these voices, just recalled the plot of the movie, and simulated the performance in his mind.

Nakamura Ken listened to others' comments: "Have you heard that the Japanese are sending more troops to Sakhalin?"

"Master Neng and Master Levitan have led their troops to dig trenches. There may be a war."

"Really? How about we go back north and hide?"

"The north has also increased its troops in the upper reaches of the Polonais Valley."

Ken Nakamura gritted his teeth: "The damn Japanese just don't know how to calm down. Peter, if a fight breaks out, are you willing to go to the battlefield with the Peacekeeping Bureau?"

"willing."

"Me too, I'm going back to drive two sheep to give extra meals to the peacekeepers."

The Peacekeeping Bureau has only been established for a short period of time, but it has already attracted a group of die-hard loyalists.

But there are also those who pack their bags and run away.

In the Polonais Valley, Levitan saw people walking towards the checkpoint in large and small packages.

"Register."

"Sir, isn't the Peacekeeping Bureau free to come and go?"

"Yes, but now it's time to register."

"Registration for what?"

"There are too many people in the Peacekeeping Bureau. They may need to reduce their numbers. Don't ask. Just register if you want to leave. It's hard to say whether you can come back."

"Well...then I won't leave."

There are also those who insist on leaving.

Doctor Gavrilovich drove a carriage to the pass.

Levitan's face turned pale when he saw this: "Doctor, you want to leave too?"

Gavrilovich was rarely drunk. He shook his head: "I am here to deliver medicine and bandages to the peacekeepers. All the money I have saved this year will be given to you. I am on the battlefield at my age. It’s also a matter of death, so I can only do my best in my own way.”

…

Mexico.

Porfirio Diaz, who had promised the military and the people to step down as president, went back on his word and prepared to participate in the election.

The Mexican people were shocked: He was so shameless.

Francisco Madero, the leader of the party opposing re-election, and his people were furious.

"Damn Diaz, he is planning to be a dictator until the day he dies!"

He urgently announced himself as a candidate.

The public's support for Francisco Madero was too high, and Porfirio Diaz panicked and quickly arrested Madero.

At the same time, he held a fake election around the time when the Japanese shot the Aries.

Since it was fake, voting and other things were child's play, and Porfirio Diaz directly announced that he had won.

He was re-elected as president for the 7th time.

The whole country was in an uproar.

At this time, there were two groups of Francisco Madero supporters in Mexico.

One group was Pancho Villa, and the other group was Zhao Chuanxin's old acquaintance Emiliano Zapata.

The two sides are in the north and south.

After Porfirio Díaz was re-elected, he felt that there was no threat and released Francisco Madero.

Madero went north to San Antonio, Texas, USA.

There he secretly contacted Emiliano Zapata: "Zapata, I got the news that you are close to Mexico City, and Díaz is going to attack you first. The executioner general Huerta will launch an attack soon, so you must be prepared."

In Quetzalan, the local chili patrol, which was secretly expanding its troops, was also gathering.

Aguirre Ida had a small meeting with Miguel Esteban, Pablo Rojas and Justino.

"Don John Constantine hasn't been back for a long time. Our sentinels have detected that a group of nearly a thousand cavalry police are surrounding us."

"How about seeking help from Zapata?"

"Zapata is responding to Madero's uprising and may have no time to take care of other things."

"Hey, we are less than two hundred people now, how can we fight against a team of one thousand people?"

"Didn't Don John Constantine leave a Maxim machine gun? It's a fight!" Aguirre Ida said, touching the bronze eye hanging on his chest.

...

Liu Ai disguised himself, put on a Korean robe, put on a high crown hat, and rode to Fengshan for reconnaissance.

He avoided the Japanese garrison in many ways, changed into a black night suit, and sneaked to the vicinity of the garrison at night.

He saw many Japanese digging the ground with lights at night and burying something in it.

He took a nap, and around two o'clock in the middle of the night, he sneaked up to see what they were up to.

But when he approached, a Japanese man got up and heard the noise: "Who's there?"

Liu Ai drew out his Guanshan knife and rushed forward, stabbing the Japanese man's neck.

Because Bai Yang was killed, his heart was filled with hatred. He pulled fiercely and the Japanese man's trachea was broken, and he could only make a "hissing" sound.

Liu Ai trotted over and took a look, and saw bombs and mines connected to metal wires buried in the soil.

Why did the Japanese bury mines here?

Mines and bombs were everywhere.

If it was to deal with the Beishui Army, why didn't they bury them near Huining, but ran so far?

He wandered around for two days and found an airport.

The reason why he recognized the airport was that Lugang Town also had an airport, which was much better than this one.

And Lugang Town already had airplanes, but the speed was only 60 kilometers per hour, and the endurance was only 60 kilometers. It was said to be a training aircraft to let pilots familiarize themselves with the operation of the aircraft, and there would be better ones in the future.

There are three planes at the airport here, with two machine guns installed on them, black-painted bombs hanging below, and the fuselage is written with - Sears.

Liu Ai didn't understand much, but he felt something was wrong.

He wanted to sneak back to report, but because he killed a Japanese that night, all the important roads were ambushed by Japanese soldiers.

...

The agreement between the two sides not to station troops in Maoshan, Huining and Wencheng was broken because of Bai Yang's death.

Ge Yunpeng led his troops across the border in a swagger.

"Did you catch the person?"

"Caught, Li Zaiming and his gang were all arrested."

Ge Yunpeng personally interrogated Li Zaiming: "Did you lead the Japanese?"

Huining has a detailed patrol route for the guards. The Japanese were able to approach unnoticed, and they were able to leave calmly after killing Bai Yang and other guards. Someone must have tipped off.

Li Zaiming stiffened his neck: "So what if it's me? You guys are biting each other, and I feel happy."

Ge Yunpeng asked again: "Why did the Japanese provoke this time? What conspiracy do they have?"

Li Zaiming spat a mouthful of blood foam on Ge Yunpeng's face: "Ah... tui! I won't say anything, even if I know, I won't say it. Don't think you can scare me, you are far from it..."

Ge Yunpeng was extremely disgusted and couldn't help but get angry.

Then he heard a subordinate report: "Captain Zhao is here."

Just after he finished speaking, Zhao Chuanxin had already entered the house.

He went straight to Li Zaiming: "So it's you."

Li Zaiming's eyes were red, staring at Zhao Chuanxin: "I was blind earlier, I actually thought you were loyal to my Great Korean Empire, but I didn't expect you to let the wolf into the house! Zhao Chuanxin, you will not die well."

After receiving the news, Zhao Chuanxin rushed back from Nanjing urgently.

If it weren't for him, Zhao Chuanxin, the Japanese would have done a lot of things in the original history.

But with him around, the Japanese still dared to cross the border and kill people, so we have to think carefully about the motives behind it.

Either Hasegawa Yoshimichi's ambitions were inflated, and he thought he could do whatever he wanted after taking over Korea.

Or Meiji wanted revenge.

Zhao Chuanxin came to Li Zaiming's side and grabbed one of his arms.

A red light flashed.

Swish.

The light blade cut off Li Zaiming's arm at the elbow.

Zhao Chuanxin held the broken arm and smashed it into Li Zaiming's face.

Bang.

"Ah..." Li Zaiming screamed heartbreakingly.

"You are paralyzed, answer the questions you are asking. What is the Japanese conspiracy?"

As he spoke, Zhao Chuanxin took out a piece of iron, burned it red with the old god crucible brand, and casually branded Li Zaiming's wound to stop the bleeding.

Swish, swish, swish...

The air was filled with the smell of barbecue.

Even Ge Yunpeng couldn't stand the smell and ran to the door.

Li Zaiming kept wailing, and Zhao Chuanxin was impatient and reached out to grab his other arm.

Li Zaiming collapsed: "No, don't cut my arm, I said, I said..."

"Pretend to be a tough guy!" Zhao Chuanxin: "Ah... tui!"

Spit on Li Zaiming's face.

Li Zaiming looked at Zhao Chuanxin in horror: "I, I don't know much, the Japanese have integrated all the forces they can use to deal with you. I don't know anything else."

Zhao Chuanxin stared at him seriously and felt that he was not lying.

I think the Japanese will use his hatred, but they won't tell him the details.

"Then there is no need for you to live."

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the hammer in the torturer's hand and hit Li Zaiming's head with a hammer.

Poof...

The account is settled.

Ge Yunpeng breathed a sigh of relief and finally died.

This kind of miserable situation is really not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

Zhao Chuanxin wiped his hands and threw away the rag: "The whole army will attack and hunt down the Japanese!"
