The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 1088: Enemy at the Gate

On November 20, the Qing army sent 2,000 more troops from Xiaogan to the south and approached Hanyang.

The two sides were ready to fight, but before the battle started, a figure appeared on the side of the Qing army.

This was a tall man wearing black and white armor. At first, the Qing army officer wanted to order the shooting, but then he thought of something and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Black and white armor, it's Zhao Chuanxin, retreat."

On the other side, the militia had the same reaction.

They saw Zhao Chuanxin jump directly from this side of the river bank to the other side and step across the Han River.

"Take me to get Shuangxi's body."

"But the Qing army..."

As Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand, a stone tablet rose from the ground: "Before you come back, if the Qing army dares to cross the border, I will let their bodies fill the Han River."

The militia officer took him to the temporary headquarters.

Huang Xing was ashamed to meet Zhao Chuanxin and hid.

Li Yuanhong, the Grand Commander of the Military Government, hurriedly led his men out and said to Zhao Chuanxin with a guilty look on his face: "Shuangxi..."

"Shut up, take me to see Shuangxi."

Li Yuanhong had a high prestige in the militia, and no one dared to talk to him like that.

He changed his expression.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand and slapped him.

"Pa!"

"I f*cking asked you to take me to see Shuangxi, didn't you hear?"

Li Yuanhong was shocked and angry, covering his face and not speaking.

Huang Xing, who was behind the scenes, finally couldn't sit still, and came out with a letter in his hand: "Charcoal worker, calm down, this is Shuangxi's suicide note, and he specifically asked me to give it to you if anything happened to him. I'll take you to see him."

The people around him were silent.

Zhao Chuanxin saw Shuangxi's body.

He pursed his lips and said nothing, put on the mud trowel gloves, gathered sand into a tower, and refined it layer by layer, and covered the front of Shuangxi with a thick layer of fused quartz glass.

Then he turned Shuangxi's body over and covered his back.

"Brother Shuangxi is dead, you are so..."

"Get lost! The man is dead, why are you being so particular?" Zhao Chuanxin glared, and no one dared to speak.

After Zhao Chuanxin wrapped the body, covered it with a black cloth, took it out of the mourning hall where the coffin was placed, took out the three-generation dragon, put Shuangxi in the cabin, and used the old god crucible imprint to absorb heat and refrigerate it.

He drove the three-generation dragon and rushed into the Han River.

A group of people looked at each other in bewilderment at the mourning hall.

"What kind of magic is this?"

"What kind of magical instrument is that, and the speed is so fast?"

"What should the mourning hall do if Zhang Shuangxi's body is taken away by him?"

"Zhao Chuanxin is too domineering..."

Huang Xing sighed to the sky: "Ah..."

Zhao Chuanxin went from the Han River to the Yangtze River, and then to Shanghai.

He went north from the sea to the mouth of the Yalu River, followed the Yalu River upstream to Sandaogou, and crossed the mountains to Lugang Town. It took more than five hours to bring Shuangxi's body back home.

Shuangxi's body wrapped in a glass cover was handed over to Zhao Zhongyi, who led people to help Shuangxi's family deal with the aftermath.

The old members of the insurance team saw that Shuangxi's face had been smoothed out of pain and hideousness, leaving only peace.

In this era, it is very important to return to one's roots. They thought that if they died, Zhao Chuanxin could also bring their bodies back from a thousand miles away, and that would be considered a death without regrets.

Zhao Chuanxin looked around at the sad people and couldn't stand this atmosphere, so he took the letter home immediately.

The letter was very thick, some for Zhao Chuanxin, some for Zhao Zhongyi, and some for his family.

In the letter to Zhao Chuanxin, Shuangxi told Zhao Chuanxin that if he died, he should not vent his anger on others.

He also told Zhao Chuanxin that he had joined the Tongmenghui last year, and Sun Gongwu held an initiation ceremony for him.

But he never dared to tell Zhao Chuanxin, fearing that Zhao Zhongyi, Zhao Chuanxin, Liu Baogui, Gao Li and Li Guangzong would regard him as a traitor.

Before this, Lugang Town, whether in the east or west, was a whole, and had never been divided by internal strife.

Shuangxi had set a precedent.

He didn't know what Zhao Zhongyi and others would think of him.

During the time he followed the Tongmenghui, Shuangxi was influenced by what he saw and heard, and gradually he had the ambition to drive out the Tartars and restore China.

He knew that Zhao Chuanxin had other plans, so he didn't want the Tongmenghui to take advantage of Zhao Chuanxin, but he didn't want to abandon the Tongmenghui.

He was willing to die for the ideals of the Tongmenghui, and of course he was willing to die for Lugang Town.

Zhao Chuanxin regretted reading the letter.

He bit his upper lip and finished reading the letter.

He shouldn't have persuaded Shuangxi to leave that day.

Perhaps if he hadn't persuaded him, he wouldn't have rushed to the front line so desperately.

Shuangxi died of his inner contradictions and guilt.

Zhao Chuanxin put the letter away, and at the same time, he felt a breath of blockage in his heart, and an unprecedented fear rose.

He wanted to live to the 21st century.

But others could not live to this day.

His relatives and friends would leave him one by one, just like double happiness.

"Dad!" Zhao Zhengze called him.

Zhao Chuanxin lowered his head and touched his son's tender face: "Hey."

Zhao Zhengze showed three small baby teeth, and said with a funny smile: "Dad, hold me."

This child not only developed later than his sister, but also seemed to be later than normal children. Others had five or six teeth at this time, but he only had three.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, without lighting it, biting it tightly with his teeth, and picked up his son.

In a moment, the cigarette was bitten to pieces.

"Open your mouth, Dad will give you something delicious to drink."

Zhao Zhengze opened his mouth, and Zhao Chuanxin poured him a bottle of vitality potion with the greeting of Lord Run.

Zhao Zhengze smacked his lips: "Dad, it's not good to drink, it's tasteless."

Zhao Chuanxin hugged his son tightly in his arms.

He prayed in his heart that his children must die after him.

Shuangxi died, but he returned to his roots.

On the day of Shuangxi's funeral.

Zhao Chuanxin and Zhao Zhongyi did not cry.

Zhao Chuanxin was a little dazed.

Zhao Zhongyi looked at the old man in the insurance team frequently.

Gao Li's eyes were red and his lips were trembling. Liu Baogui, Er Feizi, Zhang Daquan and others cried bitterly.

The land was frozen, making it difficult to dig the grave, but everyone not only dug out the pit, but also broke each hardened soil lump with a pickaxe.

Zhang Daquan cried and said, "Captain, when I die in battle, you also wrap me with glass like this. I don't want maggots to grow on my body."

His father slapped him on the back of his head fiercely: "What depressing words are you talking about? No one is allowed to die."

Zhang Daquan burst into tears: "I must wrap it with glass."

His father stamped his feet, sighed, handed the shovel to Wang Long, and turned to retreat to the back.

After the grave was piled up, Zhao Chuanxin handed the black down jacket to Defu next to him. He put on the mud trowel gloves, pressed the door stone in front of the grave, erected the stone tablet, engraved Zhang Shuangxi's name, and wrote his life story, including that he was a veteran of the insurance team and joined the Tongmenghui.

"You are really confused."

Zhao Chuanxin muttered to the grave after engraving the last word.

Defu heard it clearly, but didn't know what his uncle Zhao Chuanxin meant.

Was Zhao Chuanxin saying that he was confused, or that Shuangxi was confused, or that someone else was confused?

Er Feizi raised his gun, and everyone raised their guns and fired a shot diagonally into the sky.

Zhao Zhongyi looked blankly and saw that in the team, his son followed everyone to fire the gun, others held the Lee Enfield, and Zhao Hongzhi held a mirror box.

From this moment on, Shuangxi seemed to be really dead.

Shuangxi was the first veteran to die after the establishment of the Lugang Town Insurance Team.

At this moment, everyone seemed to have a new awareness, and more or less understood the fact that perhaps they would not die of old age after all.

Some people accepted it calmly, while others were afraid.

Shuangxi died, but the war had to continue.

The militia had lost its original spirit. In the fierce battles in Hanyang, it retreated step by step under the attack of the Qing army, and finally Hanyang was lost.

Although the militia in Wuchang failed, various provinces continued to rebel against the Qing court and surrender to the government of the Republic of China.

That kind of influence was huge, layered, and irreversible.

So this situation occurred: the Qing army won many small victories, but the Qing court was panicked and had to contact the militia on December 1 to cease fire.

At the same time, on December 1, two companies of Mongolian soldiers and Cossacks mobilized by the princes of the grassland had surrounded the office of the Minister of Kulun.

They first came into contact with the armed forces of the Qing soldiers outside.

The Minister of Kulun, Sanduo, was alone and helpless, and he was pitifully hiding in the office, at a loss.

Sanduo had offended Jebtsundamba before, and now Jebtsundamba's followers were outside. What would happen if he was caught by him?

At this time, more than 300 Qing soldiers had been disarmed by the Mongolian soldiers and would be escorted out of the country soon.

Someone came into the government office to inform Sanduo: "The grassland will be the Great Mongol Empire from now on, and our tribes will unanimously elect Jebtsundamba as the emperor!"

Sanduo was furious: "You want to rebel?"

"Sir, the world has changed. Don't you know that the south has been in chaos? If you want to ask for punishment, can you ask it?"

Sanduo was shocked and angry and said: "You are delusional! In recent years, the court has worked hard to become stronger. I have set up schools all over the grassland to enlighten people, to pacify Zhongxia and to resist powerful neighbors. The court will only get better and better, and some minor disturbances will be settled soon. On the contrary, you Lamaist temples are levying heavy taxes on the Mongolian people everywhere. Jebtsundamba actually dreamed of becoming an emperor. It's ridiculous."

Although he has only been the Minister of Kulun for more than a year, he has promoted the modernization of the grassland area, created a grassland postal system, created education and police, and actively developed mining. He did a good job.

But this process seriously damaged the interests of Jebtsundamba and the princes and nobles.

At this time, the crowd carried Chelinqimite in. He sneered at Sanduo and said, "You are the one who is dreaming, right? The court? The court's closure of the road has angered the public, and now it can't take care of itself. No one will come to save you. You might as well come out and take a look. There are all our people outside. The Russians have also sent troops to help us. You are finished, and the Kulun Office is finished."

Sanduo covered his chest and said, "Don't forget, there are also General Uliasutai and the Minister of Counsellor of Kobdo. They will not sit idly by and watch you rebel!"

Cherinqimite laughed wildly: "Hahaha. Don't worry, as long as the Kulun Office is broken, Haishan and Maxerzab will lead Mongolian and Russian soldiers to capture General Uliasutai. Kobdo City has only more than 300 defenders, and we have 8,000 troops. How long do you think Kobdo City can defend?"

Sanduo was desperate.

He tried to grasp the last straw: "There is also Zhao Chuanxin, Zhao Chuanxin will definitely lead troops to drive out the Russians!"

"Don't dream." Chelin Qimite knocked on his broken leg: "Zhao Chuanxin? Jebtsundamba has already signed an agreement with Yao Jia of Lubin Prefecture to demarcate the boundaries. Why should he care about our affairs? That thief who deserves to be cut into pieces fell into our trap! Haha, besides, if he came, wouldn't he have come long ago?"

Sanduo thought about it. The incident had happened many days ago.

If so, with Zhao Chuanxin's temper, if he wanted to care, he would have done it long ago, but there is still no news of him.

This person has been making trouble abroad recently, and there is no news of him in China.

Sanduo is completely desperate.

On December 4, the anxious Sanduo discovered that the people outside were only surrounding him but had no intention of killing him, so he boldly hired a carriage and fled to Kyaktu.

In addition to offending Jebzundamba, Sanduo also won some hearts in Kulun.

When Chaktu Zhangjing saw him coming, he repeatedly asked him to stay. Sanduo asked him if there was any movement in Lubin Mansion. Chaktu Zhangjing shook his head: "No, it's very stable."

Sanduo was completely disappointed, determined not to stay, and took the Tsarist Russian train towards Fengtian.

When Jebzundamba was sure that Sanduo had escaped, he, Chelinqimit, Hangdadorji and others couldn't wait to announce the establishment of the Great Mongolia.

Jebtsundamba ascended to the throne ahead of time in history, taking Gongdai as his reign title and becoming the "Great Emperor" of the grassland.

This process was incredibly smooth, as smooth as a dream, and so smooth that it was beyond expectation.

On the day he ascended to the throne, Jebzundamba laughed proudly: "From now on, Zhao Chuanxin will not interfere with my grassland affairs!"

He was humiliated by Zhao Chuanxin at the beginning, and he still feels bad about it to this day.

Che Linqimi complimented and said: "After we have been in business for a few years, we may even regain Lubin Mansion and turn Zhao Chuanxin into a rootless duckweed!"

The two villains smiled triumphantly.

Led by the new Prince of Tur-Kut, those who disagreed with independence could not help but become anxious.

Mishkedonglubu couldn't help but become the "Holy Emperor" of the Great Mongolia when he saw Jebzundamba. He was called Bogdo Khan, and his name was given as Ezhen Khan.

He and Durbot Khan Galzhang Namzil of Khovd said: "What should we do? I have clearly told Yao Shijie, why is there no movement in Lubin Mansion? Why is there no movement in the Gray Ax Army? Could it be that Zhao Do you really not care about passing on salary?”

Galzhang Namzyle was greatly disappointed: "Haishan, Maxirzabu, Danbi Gyaltsen, Huishlek Damudingsurong and others have led their troops to Ulia Sutai, and each banner is Zasak. They are invincible and have no will to resist. They are also supported by Tsarist Russian Cossack soldiers. As long as they capture General Ulyasutai, we, Kobdo, will be next!"

Mishkedong Lubu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I will send someone to send a telegram to Lubin Mansion to urge Yao Shijie to send troops, otherwise it will be too late."

When he sent a telegram to Lubin Mansion, Yao Jia replied to him - be patient.

After receiving the telegram, Mishkedong Lubu jumped angrily: "Don't be impatient for a moment? If you wait a moment, the entire grassland will fall!"

On the other side, Tsarist Russia's Consul General in Kulun, Radovsky, found out that Zhao Chuanxin really didn't care, and he immediately became bolder.

He is even bolder than the original history.

In original history, he only cared about the Qing court.

But compared with the Qing court at this time, Zhao Chuanxin was the real threat.

Once the threat of Zhao Chuanxin disappeared, it seemed that the Qing court was nothing more than bullshit.

After obtaining the consent of the Tsar, he asked two companies of Cossacks to besiege General Ulyasutai together with the 5,000 Mongolian soldiers of Haishan, Maxrzab and others.

Ulyasutai general Kuifang was no match for them, so he was immediately captured alive and escorted out of the country.

Haishan and Maxilzab are full of confidence.

Haishan said: "I have been planning for many years, but I have to succumb to Zhao Chuanxin's lust and go to hide in Tibet. Now I finally see the light of day. The era when the grassland belongs to the Mongols is coming back. As long as we capture the city of Khovd, the counselor will be Drive it away and you’re done!”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Wu Luzhen was assassinated by Yuan Weiting.

At this time, the situation has gradually become clearer.

The Qing court had reached the end of its rope.

On the grassland, Erzhen Khan Bokdoggen sent Haishan, Maxirzab and others, with 5,000 Mongolian soldiers and two companies of Tsarist Russian Cossack soldiers, to the city of Khovd...

Haishan pointed at Khovd City and said energetically: "Let's go to this city today!"
