The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

While Zhao Chuanxin was getting ready, several major events happened in other parts of the country.

The first thing is that Japan and Russia signed a special treaty for the Manchuria Railway. Oh, they divided the territory on the land of the Qing Dynasty.

The second major event was reported back to China from the Qing Embassy in the United States.

The United States plans to return US$10.78 million in the Boxer Indemnity to China to develop cultural and educational undertakings.

During the Gengzi period (1900), after the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the Qing government compensated them with a total of nearly 1 billion taels of silver.

Someone once said to Zhao Chuanxin: Oh, the great powers are not all in the same group. You should not regard all of them as enemies. To analyze the situation, you should read more information.

Zhao Chuanxin only has two words: Haha.

What situation among the great powers is none of his business? Is it none of his business whether they are divided or united?

For him, the word "great powers" means enemies, who are not in control of the situation.

At that time, Tsarist Russia took the lion’s share of the reparations—28.97%—because it sent the most troops.

The United States has 7.32%, which is about more than 70 million taels of silver.

Over the years, the Qing government borrowed money from the east and borrowed from the west, struggling to support it. Even bosses like Niu Zi and Hou Niu outside the Guan Dynasty lent a sum of money to the Qing court, and there were quite a few.

Last year, the general boss of the United States, Ronaldo, requested to attract more overseas students from Qing Dynasty to study in the United States.

This year, the matter reached its peak.

Why does the United States spit out what it eats?

Their own people have said: "Business follows the dictates of the spirit more reliably than the flag."

Get a soft knife.

But Captain Zhao never cared about such things.

The third thing was related to Zhao Chuanxin's travel - the entire Beijing-Fenghuang Railway was opened to traffic.

This means that Zhao Chuanxin can take the South Manchuria Railway to Fengtian, and then take a train from Fengtian to reach the capital directly without having to go around in circles.

At the Nanman Railway Station,

Shuangxi kicked the Japanese railway garrison at the station: "Draft it, I told you clearly that troops are not allowed to be stationed here, don't you understand?"

The member of the Railway Guard who was kicked was a newcomer and had not experienced the severe beatings in Lugang Town.

There are 15 of them at this site.

As for Shuangxi and the others, there were only five people in total.

In the situation of three to one, he was kicked, and the Japanese was furious: "Bagayalu, who are you?"

Shuangxi heard that the Japanese dared to resist, and I was rebelling!

Without saying a word, he rushed over and punched the Japanese who was a head shorter than him in the face.

The insurance team trains diligently, training not only in fighting, cold-weapon combat, and shooting every day, but also in various sports such as long-distance running, swimming, skiing, mountain climbing, and riding.

Even Zhao Chuanxin was stunned. They were more hard-working than the soldiers of later generations. Perhaps this was the characteristic of people in this era.

The technique of close combat mainly comes from Zhao Zhongyi.

Zhao Zhongyi accepted Zhao Chuanxin's suggestion and simplified the things he practiced and made them more practical and direct.

If you use the right method of exerting force, the moves will be simpler and more powerful.

Shuangxi punched him, and the Japanese fell down.

Seeing their own people being beaten, the rest of the Japanese railway garrison swarmed forward in anger.

There are only five people in Shuangxi, but they feel like they are in a deserted place.

They were more desperate than the Japanese. They rushed up to pick out the vital points and hit them with no idea of ​​defense. They would take one punch in return for two punches.

They eat well and train hard, and their bodies are strong. If they take off their clothes, their tendons are so hard that ordinary people can't pinch them with their hands.

Being punched three times and kicked twice is like being tickled.

Shuangxi turned his golden kick upwards and kicked the Japanese in the chest, sending him flying backwards. At the same time, he received a punch from the Japanese next to him, but the punch hit his chest, which was insignificant.

Instead, he twisted his body and stepped forward, leaning against the mountain, knocking the other person away.

Five people versus fifteen people. Before the rest of the people in the train station could react, all fifteen Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.

Shuangxi was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked the Japanese who initially resisted in the face. In a moment, the Japanese was bloody and unconscious.

The rest of the insurance team members hurriedly went up and pulled Shuangxi away: "Forget it, give me some face and let this bitch go today."

"Yes, yes, the battalion commander said it's not a good time to make the matter a big deal. Just drive them away."

Shuangxi gradually regained his composure, shrugged off their hands, and straightened his short sleeves and vest.

This is the third uniform of the Lugang Town Insurance Team, with gray-green short sleeves and a vest. The coat of arms on the upper arm is embroidered with a red deer walking on the hills. There is also a third set of combat uniforms, which are in camouflage colors.

He spat on the ground: "Ah tui... I don't care which Japanese army you are from, you have to get out of Lugang Town within half an hour, otherwise you will all die!"

At this time, a staff member from the train station came forward, nodded and bowed and said: "Captain Zhang, they are here for inspection and are not permanent residents. They don't recognize you, so please calm down."

Shuangxi kicked him over: "Did you draft it? I haven't settled the accounts with you yet. Come for inspection? Do you allow me?"

The staff member got up from the ground: "Ah... I must report it next time."

"Report a few times. There will be no next time. No Japanese with weapons is allowed to exist within a hundred and fifty miles of Lugang Town."

At this time, a railway guard who had been knocked down suddenly stood up with a Type 26 revolver in his hand and was cocking the hammer.

An insurance team member next to Shuangxi narrowed his eyes, quickly pulled out a gun with his right hand, and quickly turned his left hand into an afterimage. He rubbed the back of the gun and loaded it.

Bang, bang, bang!

Three consecutive hits to the chest, abdomen and head.

The Japanese soldiers in the railway guard were completely dead.

This time, the people around stopped watching the excitement and ran away in all directions.

The staff at the train station were stunned.

Shuangxi was completely furious, and the flying beard around his mouth seemed to stand up: "Kill, I will kill them all!"

After saying that, he and other team members took out their guns and shot them on the ground... After shooting randomly, all fifteen people fell in a pool of blood.

The Japanese railway staff's body was like chaff, his crotch was wet, and he peed...

Finally, Shuangxi put his pistol against the staff's foreheads: "Go back and tell your people that as many Japanese soldiers come as they do in the future, they will die."

The staff member's teeth chattered: "I know, I know, I know Company Commander Zhang."

"roll!"

The staff member ran away in a hurry.

He immediately reported the matter to the Anton Railway Guards via telegram.

Soon, he received a reply: It is not convenient for us to bring people there, please find someone to help them collect the bodies.

The staff understood and were preparing to put an end to the problem.

If they dare to send people over, they are ready to face the counterattack of the only "Pingtou Brother" in the Qing Dynasty.

Not long after, Zhao Chuanxin brought Miao Cuihua, Li Shutong and Ning An to the train station. In addition to them, there were also Mi Shan and Gan Fan.

Ning An, the naughty bitch, insisted on helping lead the horse to buckle. He was very shameless and cried and shouted to follow.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the train station, they saw someone inside the station screaming and running out in panic.

Li Shutong immediately became nervous, but Miao Cuihua didn't take it to heart because this place was within the jurisdiction of Lugang Town, not to mention Zhao Chuanxin.

Ning An, who was leading the horse, immediately took out his pistol and was on guard.

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed a fleeing human being: "Why are you running?"

The man was stunned when he saw Zhao Chuanxin: "Captain Zhao? Are you back?"

He recognized Zhao Chuanxin, but Zhao Chuanxin did not recognize him. There are so many people in Lugang Town and surrounding towns that he can't know them all.

"I didn't come back. I was about to leave. What's going on? Why are you running?"

"Our insurance team got into a fight with those stupid little devils and started shooting."

"Are there any casualties in the insurance team?"

"No, all the little devils are dead."

"Then how many times can you run?"

"Well, I saw everyone was running, so I ran with them."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

He walked into the station first.

At a glance, he saw Shuangxi standing on his horse, and in front of Shuangxi, there were corpses lying on the ground.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin, Shuangxi waved happily: "Zhuanxin, this way."

Zhao Chuanxin walked around the bloodstains on the ground with a look of disgust on his face, his dog-like expression exactly the same as his.

Li Shutong was frightened and followed the detour, as if he would be hurt if he got a little blood.

"What's going on?"

Shuangxi said with a look of displeasure on his face: "You stupid little devils, they told you not to send troops to the jurisdiction of Lugang Town. If you don't listen, I'll show them some color."

Zhao Chuanxin said with a smile: "Well done, don't start it like this. The little devils like to push the envelope. Once they open an opening, they dare to send more people over. This is actually a test."

"At first, I thought I'd teach them a lesson, but I didn't expect that several dogs would dare to pull out guns." After saying that, Shuangxi grabbed a bundle of clothes from the hands of the insurance team members behind him: "This is for you, our Lugang Town No. Three sets of uniforms, clothes and armbands are all there.”

Zhao Chuanxin took it cheerfully: "Low-key, keep a low-key, just take a train, how dare you trouble Company Commander Zhang to go out."

"Fuck, just bury me, right?"

When Li Shutong saw them chatting and laughing beside a pile of corpses, he suddenly became frightened.

He is a great talent. Great talent is always far away from the battlefield. How have I seen this before?

He looked at Miao Cuihua again, but there was nothing on Miao Cuihua's face.

When she was fleeing in Liao, Miao Cuihua often saw corpses in the chaos of war.

After talking for a while, Shuangxi waved to the sneaky railway staff over there: "Come here and make arrangements so that our horses, trains, and fodder are ready."

The staff member hadn't changed his pants yet, and he trotted over with a sense of coquettishness and didn't dare to neglect.

He said with a shy face, "Captain Zhang, my superiors asked me to find someone to collect the body."

Shuangxi's eyes widened: "Put the horse on the train first, and collect the body later."

"Hai, let's go now..."

Zhao Chuanxin gave a thumbs up: "Captain Zhang is majestic and domineering."

"They're all worthless bones. They can't be used unless beaten."

Ning An was stunned.

Is this the legendary Lugang Town Insurance Team that is as invincible as Zhao Chuanxin?

So majestic!

Zhao Chuanxin looked at his watch: "Come on, you can go back, we will get in the car right now. Tell me, what gift do you want, I will bring it to you when I come back from the United States."

"Bring whatever you want. As I said before, foreign goods are very expensive. Let's save whatever we can in the future."

Zhao Chuanxin said with a smile: "Hey, look at you, when I buy foreign goods, do the foreigners have the nerve to accept the money? If I give them money, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?"

Shuangxi's eyes glowed green: "Robbing?"

"Don't say it so harshly. It's about picking up, picking up goods, and withdrawing money. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, how about I go with you? I'm pretty good at withdrawing money and goods."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You should just be your company commander honestly. It will take at least half a year for me to leave, maybe longer. Lugang Town still needs your protection. You see, the little Japs are not stopping at all, Jiandao I just finished dealing with them over there, so now I dare to come to Lugang Town to test them."

"Too."

Double Happiness was slightly disappointed.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Don't worry, I am the vanguard. When I conquer a country, you can go and wander around as you like. The Qing Dynasty is in decline, and it will only have four or five years to survive at most. It will end up dying."

Shuangxi instinctively felt happy, because Zhao Chuanxin was very good at calculations, and his serious plans rarely came to fruition.

But then I thought about it, the survival of the Qing Dynasty seemed to have little to do with him.

After joking for a while, Zhao Chuanxin led the people onto the train.

Except for a few of them, no one got on the bus at this stop.

Zhao Chuanxin and Miao Cuihua waved goodbye to Shuangxi at the train window.

Shuangxi followed the train for a while and stopped with a look of reluctance on his face after failing to catch up.

"In this shitty world, if only we brothers would never die and never be separated." He gritted his teeth, looked back at the Japanese corpse, and cursed at the staff member with a fawning smile on his face: " It’s all your fault, the Japanese, you little devils of Cao Ni…”

The staff looked innocent: "..."

What do you have to do with me?

"Forget it, company commander, let's go."

People from the insurance team like to interact with Shuangxi the most.

Although Shuangxi has an impulsive and bellicose personality, he rarely gets angry with his own people and is extremely protective of his shortcomings. Moreover, Shuangxi's character is the simplest, even a little naive.

He is the first to rush when something happens, and he never leaves anyone behind. He hates separation the most. If his brother dies in battle, he will cry like a child.

…

On the train,

Li Shutong saw that Zhao Chuanxin was still looking out the window at the station that he could no longer see clearly.

He said, "I really envy the relationship between your brothers."

Zhao Chuanxin rarely reveals his true feelings. He immediately withdrew his gaze and cheerfully changed the subject: "Great talent, can you play the guitar?"

Li Shutong was stunned: "I have never learned this before."

Zhao Chuanxin looked around and saw that no one around him was paying attention. He stretched out his hand and found an extra guitar.

Li Shutong's eyes widened and he wanted to ask more questions. Zhao Chuanxin said: "This is a magic spell. Don't ask any questions. Just listen and I will play a piece for you."

It's also the prelude to "Who".

He will do this for a while.

Li Shutong looked at it in surprise and saw Zhao Chuanxin playing with the strings with his unskilled fingers: "Is this a Spanish musical instrument?"

"Yes."

Zhao Chuanxin handed the guitar to him: "Would you like to play it?"

Facing the bloody scenes, Li Shutong was extremely uncomfortable.

But when he picks up an instrument, even if he has never touched it before, it feels like he has an innate sense of familiarity with it, and is back to where he belongs.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand and pointed at the strings of the piano, telling him to shake his head and make him feel dizzy and dizzy. But he didn't know the high or low notes.

Unexpectedly, after Li Shutong fiddled with it for a few times, he was able to play the piece played by Zhao Chuanxin very awkwardly and slowly without any teacher.

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes widened: "Oh, is this okay?"

Miao Cuihua next to her poked Zhao Chuanxin with her elbow, with a smile in her eyes, as if to say: Have you met someone better than you now?

Li Shutong looked up and quickly looked away.

Facing Miao Cuihua's familiar charm, it was really hard for him to resist.

He said: "I roughly understand the principle..."

After playing with it for a while, he gradually became proficient and began to explain counterpoint and harmony to Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

His face was confused and he couldn't understand it at all.

Looking at him, Li Shutong knew that Zhao Chuanxin didn't understand music theory at all, so he said with a smile: "It just so happens that we have a long journey and we don't have a piano, so we can use the guitar to give a rough explanation."

Zhao Chuanxin's understanding of Li Shutong before was just four words - talented.

But he didn't have an idea of ​​what exactly made him so talented.

Now seeing Li Shutong play the guitar in the shortest time, he understood.

This person understands Western oil painting, musical instruments, and drama. He is also good at calligraphy, poetry, painting, music, gold and stone, and acting. He even has certain attainments in the religious field.

In terms of art, he can be called an all-rounder.

Zhao Chuanxin humbly asked for advice: "You want me to study boringly. I'm not good at this. Why don't we sing a song? You try and see if you can play it. Let's practice with songs."

Li Shutong was surprised and said: "Can you still sing when passing on the salary? I have written a few songs, why not sing "The Song of the Motherland"."

Without waiting for Zhao Chuanxin to answer, he started singing a cappella:

Up and down for thousands of years, the same vein continues. Civilization is beyond our reach, stretching across tens of thousands of miles, in this sacred land, enjoying the natural beauty alone...

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

Can you actually write songs?

Although the tone is mediocre, it is quite tasty.

Ning'an, Miao Cuihua and the surrounding passengers all listened with rapt attention.

He even squatted on the ground, looking at Li Shutong with bright eyes.

After the song ended, bursts of applause broke out on the train.

Zhao Chuanxin was convinced: "That's amazing, my brother. You are truly a genius. It turns out that I don't understand geniuses, but I finally know after meeting you."

Li Shutong raised his arms and said, "It's time to show off one's ugliness."

That's what he's good at.

He dared to cross-dress a woman on stage in a play, let alone just face a few passengers on the train.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while, he couldn't just let him pretend today.

He cleared his throat: "Ahem, since you threw the bricks, you successfully brought out this piece of jade from me. Let me sing a song too."

Li Shutong: "..."

Is this human talk?

Zhao Chuanxin said: "You sing "Motherland Song", then I will sing "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales"."

People around were surprised.

Dragons and phoenixes are not just talked about casually.

Even today’s controls are no longer as strict as before.

Zhao Chuanxin did not explain, and started singing:

In this country, I started writing, and the national bloodline stretches thousands of miles. For centuries and five hundred years, the descendants of the dragon have gone through ups and downs...

Li Shutong was stunned when he heard this...

This chapter has been revised, and a large section was deleted at the request because it said something that should not have been said.
