The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhang Shouzeng wanted to say, if you can chat, let's chat well; if you can't, I'll call Zhao Chuanxin. I believe you and him have something in common. After all, you both like to shout and kill.

In a word, Wu Sadiqian is out of power.

Wu Sa Di felt choked and said bitterly: "You can't represent Zhao Chuanxin, what are you here to talk about?"

Zhang Shouzeng is trying to figure out who is behind Wu Sa Di.

Is it just the Russian Military Department and the China Eastern Railway Administration?

He thought for a moment, and Zhao Chuanxin said something that had spread on the grassland: Nicholas II can't protect you.

This sentence should reach Nicholas II’s ears, right?

Zhang Shouzeng really wanted to see what Nicholas II would look like.

He said: "Consul Wu Sadi, we don't have to be tit-for-tat. I want to ask you, is our theme today, war or peace? War has nothing to do with me or the court. It is between your country's army and the prefect Zhao Chuanxin." Regarding the matter, I say without hesitation, you can lead troops to surround Lubin Mansion. If you can capture Zhao Chuanxin alive, I can report to the court to show your merit. If you cannot catch him, you will bear the consequences of Zhao Chuanxin. Revenge. I am not afraid that these words will reach his ears, because he does not want to see me either. If we were to negotiate peace, you and I can talk about it today."

Zhang Shouzeng's words were not in line with Chinese language habits. They were not tactful at all and were so straightforward that Wu Sadi, a Russian, found them harsh.

Zhang Shouzeng represented the Qing court, and Wu Sadi felt that he and Zhao Chuanxin must have fallen out.

Thinking this way, I felt inexplicably that they were on the same side.

Wu Sadi's tone softened a lot: "General Manager Zhang, we suffered a loss from Zhao Chuanxin. Even if we don't raise troops, we must make some compensation, right?"

Zhang Shouzeng's heart was beating wildly.

He understood. It seemed that Tsarist Russia really didn't dare to stir up a hornet's nest.

Because Zhao Chuanxin is really not afraid of threats. If you come and kill people at will, I will take revenge anyway.

Wu Sadi just wants to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits.

Zhang Shouzeng shook his head: "Zhao Chuanxin is an arbitrary person. He can't get rid of the sand in his eyes. Not only can I not compensate you, but I also want to remind you that the Russian people in Hailar area had better move away, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Wu Sa Di exploded when she heard this.

Tsarist Russia has always pushed them further, but now it's better. Not only is there no compensation, but they are also going to kill them all, right?

He said with a sinister look on his face: "General Manager Zhang, isn't Zhao Chuanxin afraid that we will imitate him when he kills our citizens?"

We can also kill you civilians.

Zhang Shouzeng took a fused quartz glass bottle and took a sip of water.

Wu Sadi thinks this bottle is very beautiful.

But if he knew where the bottle came from, he probably wouldn't be calm.

Zhang Shouzeng smiled bitterly and said: "I don't think Zhao Chuanxin really cares about the survival of the people of Wuyi. Even if you kill all the people, it is just to anger him. He is still making trouble in our land at this time. If you anger him, do you think he will Will he cross the Ergun River and go to Russia? Remember? You gave him a nickname - the Butcher of the Far East. You might as well make a bold guess, whether he will go to Moscow? Can you really stop him? I'm not afraid to tell you that I was on the Hulun Bingbei Road when I received a telegram from Zhao Chuanxin in Manzhouli. In just a quarter of an hour, Zhao Chuanxin arrived at the Hulun Bingbei Road. You and I boldly assume that Zhao Chuanxin How long does it take to get to Moscow? One day and night? Two days?"

Wu Sadi was sweating after hearing this.

This already posed a real threat to Nicholas II.

At least it poses a great threat to Moscow's military and civilians.

Roaring: "He is the public enemy of the whole world. If he does this, he will make the whole world panic all day long. If he risks the disdain of the world, he will die without a burial place..."

No matter how it sounds, it sounds a bit incompetent and angry?

Zhang Shouzeng is funny.

But he pretended to be serious and said: "Of course, it's hard to make a conclusion at this time whether he can or not. But this possibility cannot be ruled out. Let's make bold assumptions and be careful to verify."

After saying that, he wanted to have fun himself. Make bold assumptions and verify carefully. This sentence was said by someone.

Wu Sadi: "..."

Wu Sadi took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "We can let things go, or even don't need to compensate. However, I need to ensure that we restore order on the railway."

He is also very particular about what he says. He strives for it first and then takes a step back.

Anyone who wants to show off his face will definitely have to compromise if he regresses like this.

However, Zhang Shouzeng said: "Before coming, I talked with Zhao Chuanxin. He said that only railway workers are allowed in Hailar, and not a single Tsarist Russian soldier is allowed. He has no control over other places, but he will never allow it in his territory. , just like when he was in Lugang Town, no Japanese soldiers were allowed around."

Wu Sadi's eyes widened: "Dream!"

"Please calm down, Consul Wu Sadi, these are not my words, these are Zhao Chuanxin's exact words."

Wu Sadi's chest heaved.

It's so bullying.

He never thought about the fact that Tsarist Russia deployed its troops to the Qing Dynasty. Did they bully others?

He said coldly: "It seems that things can't end decently, so we can only fight!"

Zhang Shouzeng's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

In fact, before he came, he had communicated with Zhao Chuanxin, and the communication was open and honest.

The relationship between the two is not as broken as he made it seem.

Many of the words he just said were taught by Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin told him firmly: "Just say it like this, I promise it won't matter. Am I afraid of those who wear shoes when I'm barefoot? They don't dare to really start a full-scale war, otherwise do you think the Japanese will sit idly by and ignore it? The Japanese hate it I, but the Japanese, are even more unwilling to see Tsarist Russia become powerful. The Japanese wish that both Tsarist Russia and me would suffer in a fight. To put it bluntly, if the Tsarist Russian army invades the border, burns, kills, and loots, then I will become a mortal enemy of the five-winged people. The prefect is now leading the prairie men and Tsarist Russia to fight guerrillas. Believe me, I will drag them to death in this one-third of an acre, and they will be unable to do anything from now on."

Now after listening to Wu Sadi's words, Zhang Shouzeng felt that Zhao Chuanxin was too confident and had lost his temper.

Although Wu Sa Di was furious, the old fox secretly observed Zhang Shouzeng's reaction.

Seeing that he was not in his right mind, he sneered in his heart and pretended to stand up: "There is nothing more to say, so get ready for war."

This time it was Zhang Shouzeng's turn to be anxious: "Wait..."

Wu Sadi pretended to be impatient: "What else can I do?"

Zhang Shouzeng took another sip of water to calm his mind: "Consul Wu Sadi, although I cannot represent Zhao Chuanxin, I have the right to make suggestions. I have a suggestion. You and I each take a step back. Your country is not allowed to send troops to patrol along the railway. There are only Manzhouli and Hailar stations, and you can only station troops at two stations."

"Where is the Zhalai-Nuoer mining area?" Wu Sati stared at Zhang Shouzeng.

Zhang Shouzeng was anxious: "Zhao Chuanxin must be taken back, and there is no room for negotiation. If Consul Wu Sadi seizes the mines by force, then the only option is to go to war!"

Wu Sadi looked at his face and waved his hand: "You go back first, we need to discuss."

…

Huang Shifu didn't leave, and was still dealing with Zhao Chuanxin.

He was bent on taking away five-sixths of the tax dollars.

Zhao Chuanxin was tinkering with some gadgets.

He made an iron plate not much bigger than a palm, with a frame around it.

A piece of cut paper will just fit into the frame.

The ax chopped down the iron birch tree that produced sparks, and Zhao Chuanxian used the elf carving knife to easily carve out the shape of the frame and made several kinds of seals.

Dip the ink in the ink sac with a seal and press it on the paper to print words and patterns.

This is a primitive printing equipment.

Huang Shifu didn't say hello. When he came in and saw Zhao Chuanxin like this, he sarcastically said: "Exotic skills and ingenuity, what the magistrate calls official business is exactly what it is."

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and said happily: "Fantastic skills and tricks are nothing. In the future, I may even have wine pools and meat forests. I will marry three thousand concubines, be the groom every night, and hide and seek with them every day. Oh, it's so exciting, so happy." "

In Zhao Chuanxin's view, life has four realms. First, if you are stupid, others will be stupid too. Second, if you are no longer stupid, others are stupid, but you have to thankless remind others. Third, stop reminding others. Fourth, pretend to be stupid if you are not stupid.

The whole world is full of fools who are enjoying themselves, making a fortune in silence. Otherwise, remind the fool, and the fool will have to sarcastically say - you are the only smart person in the whole world, right?

"You..." Huang Shifu has never seen such a shameless person.

Zhao Chuanxin put the things away and packed them for Rebecca Levi.

At this time, Yang Sangda came over and said happily: "Prefect, Jigar Niuluzuo led the way, claiming that he was the one who came to beg him."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded at the table: "Tell me clearly, who do you want? Forget it, let him come in."

There are countless little things to deal with every day.

There were some things that did not require Zhao Chuanxin to come forward.

But the government office was newly established, and he needed to lead the trend, so he did many things himself.

"Master Magistrate, our Niulu Xidanzhuermit has been captured by you, please return him." This assistant leader said it quite rudely.

"Who are you talking about? When was he arrested?"

Zuo Ling frowned: "You were the ones who caught me."

Yang Sangda was so discerning that he immediately went out to ask a few questions and came back and said: "The magistrate is a thief captured at the temple fair. The leader is called Xidanzhuermit, who records people for Jigar Niu."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Zuoling quietly: "Why let him go? He was arrested for stealing and is being held. He will be released when his sentence is completed."

"I heard that he was just stealing from Russians. What could be wrong with that?"

Zhao Chuanxin laughed when he heard this: "It's okay if he goes to Russian territory to steal Russians, but it's not okay if he comes to my territory to steal Russians. Can you understand?"

"Will we let him go or not?"

Zhao Chuanxin suppressed his smile: "If you talk to me harshly again, I will twist your head off."

Zuo Ling turned around and left angrily: "We'll see."

Huang Shifu, who had not yet left, said: "You see, this is a deceitful person who doesn't know dignity or inferiority."

Zhao Chuanxin stood up and said to Yang Sangdaxi: "I'm going out for a trip. If I have any civil affairs, I'll go to Mr. Yao, and if I have any military affairs, I'll go to Zana."

Ignoring Huang Shifu, he walked out.

Huang Shifu still wanted to follow him out, but Zhao Chuanxin seemed to be walking slowly, and by the time he went out, he had already disappeared.

Zhao Chuanxin walked all the way east and checked along the railway. As expected, he saw no road protection team except railway workers.

All the way to Zhalai Nuoer, countless camel carts entered the mine empty, loaded out, and headed towards Manzhouli.

Zhao Chuanxin's teeth itched at the sight.

Zhang Shouzeng begged him to wait, but Zhao Chuanxin agreed, so he held back.

But he went into the mining area with his hands behind his back to investigate.

No one stopped him.

He walked straight in and saw a warehouse, so he opened the door and went in to take a look.

Found bundles of copper wire piled up in the warehouse.

At this time, someone behind me asked, "What do you do? Who let you in?"

Zhao Chuanxin turned around and looked at this man: "How many more of these copper wires are there?"

The person who came was a Russian. Zhao Chuanxin asked him a little confused: "There are many more. Who are you?"

"Where are the rest?"

"Answer my question quickly..."

This man bared his teeth and claws and walked towards Zhao Chuanxin fiercely.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't waste any time and threw an uppercut.

The man's head was thrown back and his nose was bleeding.

Zhao Chuanxin continued to ask: "Where are the other copper wires?"

The opponent's head was dizzy after being hit, and he became even angrier and charged towards Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his leg and kicked forward.

How did he come and go back?

Zhao Chuanxin walked over slowly, grabbed his hair, and hit his lower abdomen with three uppercuts.

The man was wailing after being beaten.

"Let me ask you again, where are the rest of the copper wires?"

"Here, in the warehouse of the No. 2 Bolonigov Mine."

I am also afraid of pain and electric shock.

Zhao Chuanxin held down his head and smashed it against the wall.

Boom.

The man's body collapsed to the ground.

Not dead, just fainted.

Zhao Chuanxin packed up the copper wires, went out, and headed towards the Bolonigov No. 2 Mine with his hands behind his back.

The warehouse gatekeeper stopped him: "Stop..."

Zhao Chuanxin whipped the leg.

Snapped.

Fall down and go to sleep.

Sure enough, there were piles of copper wires here too.

Zhao Chuanxin collected all the threads.

I went to check the railway line along the Hailar River again and confirmed that there was no road protection team.

But he saw Russian people cutting grass on the north bank of the river.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and ignored it for the time being.

At just the right time, a train came whining, spitting out white smoke, and its front was as ugly as a giant steel beast.

Zhao Chuanxin jumped off the railway track and hid aside.

He saw the arrogant face of the train driver, the passengers behind him looking around, and some people pointing at him.

Zhao Chuanxin put his hands in his pockets, holding a cigarette and watching the train slowly pass by before turning around.

Hu Da is training more than a hundred soldiers on the left wing of Xinba-Erhu.

The training content was basically the same as what he learned in the New Army, including formation, gun-holding posture, shooting, etc.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that most of the people walking in line couldn't tell the difference between their left and right feet, and it was common for them to swerve.

He wants a fighting force, and it may take a long time to do so.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't want to train soldiers like this who didn't even have the most basic military literacy.

The soldiers from the five wings took turns coming to Lubin Mansion for training, while the rest patrolled various places in Karen.

Unload a large amount of copper wire to the warehouse in the backyard of Lubin Mansion.

Rebecca Levi came to him and said: "Ethan, you said you need to register identity information. I think this kind of paper is waterproof and wear-resistant, and the writing has raised features. Why not use it as identification?"

She handed a piece of paper to Zhao Chuanxin.

A few words were neatly written on the letterhead: Proof of identity.

Under the Chinese characters is Mongolian.

Further down, the name: Yang Sangdaxi.

The suffix is ​​Mongolian.

Below it is written the date of birth, gender, nationality, height, address, and the most peculiar thing is also recorded the shape of the handprint, with X and O representing the shape of the bucket.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at the identity certificate and said: "Don't have so many lines and grids, it will look dizzy, make it clear at a glance. Forget it, I will make an engraving for you and print it in batches. The subsequent content only needs to be filled in."

Or iron birch, carving out the template.

Dip in ink, put the paper into the iron grid, and the template will fit in so that the printing will not be distorted.

Gonggong's neat regular script, name, age, birth date, gender, place of origin, height, address, hand pattern and shape of bucket...

The Chinese suffix is ​​Mongolian, which is clear at a glance from left to right.

The writing is very thin, so the paper is not large.

Rebecca Levi looked at it and felt that it was easy to lose, so she took a thin piece of wood and glued it on.

A piece of hard card ID is formed.

Why do you need ID?

This is to pave the way for Zhao Chuanxin's follow-up plans.

The Bureau of Government and Commodity will have the power to issue various approval bills, but the power to print the bills will be in the hands of the accounting office.

If it is ordinary printing, this power is dispensable.

But using sea paper and ink sacs, this power is equivalent to being impossible to copy, only this one.

Zhao Chuanxin was on the train and asked "I" to lead people to salvage a huge amount of paper for many days in a row, which would not be used up for several years.

The Patrol Bureau has the power to randomly inspect bills, and the inspection of bills requires identification, so that bills cannot be bought and sold at will.

Zhao Chuanxin blocked all the loopholes that could be exploited, and he didn't believe in the game of chess.

In the evening, Zhang Shouzeng came back.

While eating, Zhao Chuanxin asked him, "How are you doing?"

Zhang Shouzeng said with a bit of embarrassment, "The more I think about it, the more something is wrong. It seems that I was tricked by the old fox Wu Sadi..."

He recounted the negotiation between the two during the day.

When Wu Sati pretended to start a war, Zhang Shouzeng was frightened and finally gave in, allowing them to station troops in Manchuria and Hailar.

There was only a three-day deadline for Wu Sadi to lead the Russian people to retreat, but the two did not reach an agreement on this matter.

When he came back, the more Wu Sa Di thought about it, the more he felt that he had been deceived. He felt that Wu Sa Di was actually deceiving him.

He was right.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's not a big problem. Fatty can't eat it in one bite. Let them occupy the two places for the time being. I will slowly deal with them when things stabilize. However, has the Russian side stated when they will evacuate?" Russian citizens in the territory?”

Zhang Shouzeng actually explained it to Zhao Chuanxin.

Seeing that he didn't blame me, I felt inexplicably grateful.

"Wu Sadi said within a month."

"Shit!" Zhao Chuanxin dismissed them: "The deadline is three days. If they don't leave, I will evict them by force."

"This..." As soon as Zhang Shouzeng entered the house, he hurried out again, changed his horse and galloped towards Manzhouli.

The Qing court's role in using Zhang Shouzeng to constrain Zhao's salary has completely disappeared. Now all he can do for the court is to try to calm down the war.

He would not hesitate to break his legs for this.

When he told Wu Sa Di the news, Wu Sa Di was noncommittal and also told him a piece of news.

During the day, someone went to the Zhalai-Nuoer Mine in public and robbed huge amounts of copper wire.

Zhang Shouzeng hurried back to Lubin Mansion and told Zhao Chuanxin: "Prefect, if we ask them to withdraw their troops, then we will have to take responsibility for public security."

"Yes, I understand." Zhao Chuanxin said calmly.

After dinner, when Zhang Shouzeng went to the backyard, he saw the warehouse door open. He took a look at the lantern and saw the massive copper wires piled inside...

Zhang Shouzeng: "..."

The emotional thief is Zhao Chuanxin.

…

Yao Bing had a lot of fun these days because people brought their children to work.

There are not so many playmates at home.

I feel drowsy after eating every night.

Zhao Chuanxin was sitting on the edge of the kang and saw Yao Bing sitting there, nodding his head.

Sure enough, he failed to hold on once and when he nodded, he almost fell to the ground.

Zhao Chuanxin was well prepared, and with quick eyesight and quick hands, he caught him.

Yao Bing shook himself awake.

"Go to sleep when you're sleepy. Why are you insisting on doing this?"

"My aunt asked me to finish peeing before going to bed, otherwise I will pee on the bed."

"Then go pee."

"I can't pee."

Zhao Chuanxin took off his clothes and stuffed him into the bed: "Go to sleep, you can't pee on the bed."

After Yao Bing fell asleep, he took out the "Old God Code".

[We finally arrived at Green Harbor in the Cursed Desert. 】

[On one side of the bare red-yellow cliff, springs appeared out of thin air, and waterfalls hung high and flowed into the sea. I couldn't even understand where the water came from. 】

[The side should be lower, lush and lush with vegetation, forming a huge contrast with the barren cliff bank. Stairs and paths made of loess and stone are criss-crossed. 】

[The whole port is packed with people. 】

[When we landed, we were immediately enveloped in this huge enthusiasm. 】

[We can feel the hot wind blowing from the desert, and we can also feel the coolness of the sea breeze, a world of ice and fire. 】

[Vendors are selling melons and fruits of different shapes, girls in cool clothes are making drinks on the street, nobles wearing veils and masks are passing by in a hurry, and a bookstore in a small earth-colored house is holding a huge black sparkling beetle. Residents taking to the streets, artists playing with huge bone instruments... We almost thought we were in another world. 】

[The craftsman warned me: This is a window connecting various islands and two continents. Don’t shop here easily, otherwise you will regret it. 】

[The craftsman’s reminder is very necessary. 】

[Because my brother, sister, and elf scout have been attracted by all kinds of products. Those priceless treasures are randomly placed in street stalls, waiting for the destined person to occupy them. 】

[I saw various worm silk products, and even legendary rune fragments. 】

[I asked about the price, and the most common worm silk, which is only about the size of a palm, costs several thousand gold coins. If it is rune fragments, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands are needed. I touched my shriveled wallet. The lack of money made me dare not stay here for a long time, for fear that I would not pay attention and spend the last bit of travel expenses. 】

[The craftsman said: In addition to gold coins, various gemstones also have currency functions. Of course, we are so poor now that we can’t afford gems. 】

[At this time, I saw the female monk using precious stones and bought a scimitar inlaid with precious stones. 】

[It can be seen that the value of gems and gems is also different. 】

[The craftsman said: A skilled craftsman can punch holes in weapons and armor, carve and fill them with rune fragments in order, and then inlay gems to add additional attributes. The top craftsmen can create puppet slaves by filling the order of rune fragments, inlaying gems and sophisticated built-in mechanisms. It is said that the Desert Emperor has an entire army of puppets who help him tear apart all his enemies. Each puppet soldier is worth enough for an ordinary person to spend a lifetime. 】
