The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

The troops of Lubin Prefecture are dispatched, and they cannot hide it from others.

All grassland ministries, Aoki Xuanzhun, Tsarist Russia, and the Qing court all received the news immediately.

But they could not find out the details of the march route.

Hu Er led the patrol police to enforce martial law at the entrances and exits of the north and south cities of Lubin Prefecture, Ihe-Nor, Zabaikalsk and other places.

Sure enough, a telegram came from the capital immediately: The grassland is based on Kulun, and if it is violated, it will lead to chaos. The soldiers of Lubin Prefecture drove far away, and the troops were scattered. They were afraid that the Russians would cause trouble to the base camp. Moreover, the border trade department urgently needed to take precautions. After careful planning by the Ministry of War, the Lubin Mansion should not rush in...

This time the Qing court learned a lesson and persuaded Zhao Chuanxin not to send troops in the tone of "one of our own".

The general idea is: I think for your sake. You don’t have many troops. If you send troops indiscriminately, you can only disperse your troops in the end. Tsarist Russia is eyeing it. The land you finally regained may be taken away by Tsarist Russia again. Besides, you still need manpower to guard customs and collect customs duties. What's the point?

Listen to my advice and come back quickly.

Zhang Shouzeng had long expected various situations to arise, and he immediately replied: This westward march is not for the purpose of conquering fortified cities, so there is no need to worry. The prefect planned and supervised the suppression of the Tsarist Russia, the Japanese and horse bandits. Moreover, the prefect Zhao had carried out the plan in detail, and the soldiers were well placed, and no one had committed any crime...

Zhang Shouzeng said: Don't worry, everything has been arranged. We are not going to Kulun. We are just suppressing bandits. The bandits will not be like combing soldiers through grates.

The Qing court tried to dissuade him again, but Zhang Shouzeng said that the army had already set off and could not be pursued.

Later, the Qing court learned that the person they trusted was Zhang Shouzeng, so they pretended that Zhang Shouzeng was an official of the Qing court and repeatedly argued with him.

Zhang Shouzeng replied: Zhao Chuanxin is the talent of ZTE. Worrying about the country, loving the wise, controlling generals, and administering officials, etc., have been passed down from generation to generation at the same time, and there is no match. In the bitter cold land of Lubin Prefecture, there are more than ten thousand soldiers, and the monthly expenses are tens of thousands, but the merchants and people are not in ruins. The officials are in charge of the sun, and the achievements are obvious to the people. There is no one who refuses to accept the Hulun Grassland...

Zhang Shouzeng said: Don't worry about it blindly, Zhao Chuanxin is definitely a talent. He is capable of mounting a horse to kill the enemy with martial arts, and is capable of governing an area with literary skills. No one of his generation can match him. Regardless of whether he is the five-wing general manager or the government officials, there is no one who disobeys him regardless of the Banner and Han tribes. In a place that you think is bitter and cold, people have more than 10,000 soldiers. We spend a lot of money every month, but the people can live in peace and contentment, and business is prosperous. I and everyone are convinced by him...

Let go of your desire to instigate rebellion.

After receiving the letter, the Qing court was heartbroken.

…

Nobuzumi Aoki is also paying close attention to the movements of the Lubin Mansion army.

His secret information started from the time when the army was dispatched, and the contact was broken when he left Lubin Mansion.

He was engaged in intelligence and had already made arrangements. The peripheral spies quickly noticed the whereabouts of the Gray Ax Army and the Blizzard Team.

Then Nobuzumi Aoki was confused.

He said to his men: "Didn't I ask you to spread the news? Why are they going in the opposite direction and why don't they come to Qiuba Mountain in the west?"

The men couldn't answer.

Aoki Xuanzhun frowned: "Could it be that Zhao Chuanxin's intelligence system is so bad that he didn't detect it?"

He had to send people out again to spread the news about the location of the joint tiger hunting team.

Soon, he received the news: "After questioning, the two groups of Zhao Chuanxin turned around and headed west."

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Gray Ax Cavalry Regiment headed west from Bell Lake.

The Blizzard team headed west from Dauria.

…

The war is about the economy.

This sentence is familiar to later generations. Whether it is a greasy middle-aged man who brags after drinking, or an uncle or aunt who takes a walk at night, they can all point out a few words and show off their opinions.

But they rarely know that war can be used to improve the economy, channel conflicts, and pursue and consolidate territory.

Don't look at the fact that Lubin Mansion currently does not have the ability to manufacture arms.

However, other equipment and military supplies are supplied locally by Lubin Prefecture.

For example, Blizzard Team’s leather belt with two magazine pouches, nickel buttons, wool blanket in a cowhide backpack, binocular case, military water bottle, sheepskin flip collar, leather gloves, knuckle leather padding for rock climbing and mountaineering, and ropes , military rations...

Except for the coat, which is made in Lugang Town, the rest are all made from local products.

The most indispensable thing in Lubin Mansion is cow and sheep skins.

The Government Commodity Bureau held a small bidding process a year ago and then distributed it to contractors, who then found workers to make the goods themselves.

Handicraft manufacturers make money, contractors make money, and they will spend money during the Chinese New Year, promoting economic circulation, stimulating the development of local industries, and driving employment and consumption.

A small war can establish the temporary and sustainable nature of local market demand, promote economic growth, and alleviate economic difficulties during local depressions.

Because Zhao Chuanxin aggressively expanded the recruitment of foreign farmers, the increasing number of Han people inevitably clashed with local Yiban people.

Thanks to the joint Japanese-Russian tiger hunting team, the casualties they brought included both bannermen and Han people.

The employment opportunities and political tensions between Banner and Han, which had been reduced due to the increase in population, were greatly alleviated after they made a fuss.

Now the mood of the people in Lubin Prefecture has been aroused. Both the Banner and Han sides share the same hatred. After the Lubin Prefecture army set off, there were also teams who spontaneously took to the streets to raise flags to cheer for the prefect Zhao.

Internally, this military dispatch is also an opportunity to seek opportunities and resources externally.

Therefore, fighting a sure war, as long as it does not really waste people and money, has only advantages and no disadvantages.

Zhao Chuanxin thought more, and he also took this opportunity to train his troops.

The reason why he dared to send out troops was first because he knew that the defense of Lubin Mansion relied not only on the newly built troops, but also on his personal deterrence against Tsarist Russia, so that they did not dare to act rashly.

The second reason is that the cost of Zhao Chuanxin's small-scale war was not as high as imagined.

For example, at this time, the team was resting on the spot, and the food they ate was brought from the underground fortress warehouse of the White House in Qutshalan by Zhao Chuanxin, who had just activated the energy fluctuation and convergence rune fragments.

Two hours ago, Zhao Chuanxin teleported back to the white house, where he kneaded the dough with his puppet slave, dissolved a pot of brown sugar in boiling water, kneaded the dough, and let it rise.

After the dough has risen, add chopped jujube and knead it inside.

After waking up, Zhao Chuanxin taught the puppet slave how to knead the dough with one hand, push it inward with his thumb with the other hand, and finally pull it up.

Afterwards, he teleported back to the camp, took out a several-story steamer, and the cook steamed several pots of brown sugar and jujube steamed buns.

When the pot was boiled, the aroma of jujube filled the air, and there were loud swallowing sounds from the surrounding Blizzard Squad soldiers.

Gudong, Gudong...

Even though Badang A lives a wealthy life, he has never eaten this thing before: "I'll blanch it, it's delicious!"

Che and Zha rolled their eyes in a choked voice: "I never imagined that I could eat such sweet steamed buns in the wilderness."

This is Zhao Chuanxian’s little money-saving trick.

Ingredients are all provided, so you save one meal and one bite.

The troops were divided into two groups. The Blizzard Squad was led by Zhao Chuanxin himself, while the Gray Ax Cavalry Regiment was led by Hu Da.

Batanga stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, swallowed it and suddenly said: "Sir, there is a group of Russian soldiers approaching from the north."

Che Heza gave the order and the Blizzard team assembled.

The members of the Blizzard Team are mostly composed of Saurons. They are good at mountain fighting, long-distance raids, superb marksmanship, and fierce temperament.

Hearing this, everyone stood up with steamed buns in their mouths, touched their guns and quickly alerted.

Someone from the Russian troops stood up and shouted from a distance.

"They asked us who we were and why we were at the border," the translator said. "They said if we didn't leave quickly, they would shoot us."

Everyone looked at Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and said, "Tell them to give us ten minutes."

After hearing this, the other party suddenly laughed proudly and laughed at the Chinese people for being cowardly and cowardly.

Then Zhao Chuanxin told Batang A: "Ask people to line up, ten minutes is enough for you to find a bunker, right?"

"Ah this..." Batang'a took out the newly purchased pocket watch: "Ten minutes, are we going to use it to line up?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Zhao Chuanxin looked at him like a fool.

Everyone: "..."

When you start looking for bunkers here, get ready for battle.

The Russian soldiers on the other side of the border noticed something was wrong and shouted: "Didn't you say ten minutes? What are you doing at this time?"

Zhao Chuanxin asked the translator to shout: "We were ready in less than ten minutes, and now we can start the war."

Russian soldier: "..."

They shouted in confusion: "We also need ten minutes."

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I won't give it."

Russian soldier: "..."

This time it was Team Blizzard's turn to laugh.

It is impossible to fight.

Mao Zi currently does not dare to challenge Zhao Chuanxin.

When the border patrol force learned that Zhao Chuanxin was personally leading the team, they behaved like a flock of quails and eagerly retreated.

At first, the Blizzard team was very nervous when they encountered the Russian patrols on the border.

But after a few times, they can quickly and calmly prepare to attack at any time.

This is the effect of field exercises.

Zhao Chuanxin is always urging from behind: "Hurry, hurry, if you are slow on the battlefield, you will die."

Xingyue arranged his troops according to the formation of the Russian army every time.

Although there was no fight, the experience points of Zhao Chuanxin, Xingyue and Blizzard Team soared.

It's a mule, it's a horse. It really needs to be pulled out often for training.

On the way, everyone had one false alarm, two false alarms, three false alarms...

Later, Zhao Chuanxin found that the soldiers were slacking off.

In their minds, it seemed that they would never be able to fight.

Zhao Chuanxin saw it but remained calm.

In a war without death, soldiers will never grow.

Heading south, when passing a place called Baoerdun, the spy reported: "Sir, some people claim that this group of thieves often haunts the vicinity of Qiuba Mountain."

"Got it, let's continue south."

"Aren't we going to Chopper Mountain?"

"No need to worry."

Ulyasutai, Chechen Khan tribe, Chagannuoer.

Zhao Chuanxin came with his troops. Seeing the amazing momentum of this well-equipped army, the herdsmen were so frightened that they galloped away.

Not long after, a team of herdsmen, some carrying bows on their backs, some carrying scimitars, and some carrying large cannons, came, but they did not dare to approach.

They shouted: "Who are you? Why have you come to us?"

The soldiers from the Blizzard Squad stepped forward and replied: "We are the Blizzard Troops from Lubin Prefecture, here to suppress the bandits."

"This is the border of the Chechen Khan tribe. The warriors of Lubin Mansion should not cross the border."

That's quite polite.

Che Heza whispered to Zhao Chuanxin: "According to the rules, we really shouldn't cross the line."

Zhao Chuanxin came here just to show off his muscles.

What the fuck is Chechen Khan?

He waved his hand: "Go forward."

So he took the lead and galloped forward.

When the other party saw it, he was so frightened that he turned around and left.

So there was a lot of excitement along the way, and people ran away from time to time.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't care at all.

They all sign up first and then move forward regardless.

Take a rest when you are tired, resurrect with full health and continue on your way.

Finally, beside a sea, they encountered a large army composed of Chechen Khan princes.

"Warriors of Lubin Mansion, you have crossed the line."

Zhao Chuanxin stepped forward and raised his voice with his vocal organ: "Yes, I did it on purpose."

other side:"……"

The other person seemed to have a bad temper: "What do you want to do? Do you want to cause a war?"

"My name is Zhao Chuanxin, and I'm here to suppress bandits. Do you want a war? Just ask. As long as you ask, we will immediately start a war to satisfy you."

"..." The other party: "If you don't leave, you will bear the consequences."

Blind, close combat, mage Zhao Chuanxin charged forward single-handedly, with the Blizzard team behind him raising their guns in formation. They were so familiar with this routine that they used it instinctively.

On the opposite side, the rabble composed of herdsmen summoned by the prince was frightened.

Looking at the equipment of both sides, the Blizzard team is armed with a Mosin-Nagant rifle and a Mosin-Nagant revolver on its waist. They are wearing uniforms, and even their belts and magazine pouches are probably of the same style.

And the opponent's weapons are all kinds of.

Lost in terms of momentum.

When Zhao Chuanxin came closer, the other party still did not dare to act rashly.

Zhao Chuanxin approached, stretched out his hand to pull the leader off his horse, raised his hand and slapped him several times: "Listen up, my name is Zhao Chuanxin, the prefect of Lubin Prefecture. I convince people with my virtue. Now I ask you, do you accept? No. I immediately ordered the shooting."

"You..." The other party was shocked and angry: "You want to rebel?"

Is this called convincing people with virtue?

Seeing this, his followers drew their whips and whipped them towards Zhao Chuanxin, wanting to help their master out of trouble.

Zhao Chuanxin leaned back to avoid it, but reached out his hand to grasp the whip accurately and pulled the man off the horse with a strong force.

He lowered his waist, lifted the person with one hand, and actually threw the person weighing over a hundred pounds away.

Then punch.

Snapped!

A punch hit the opponent's cheek. The person's body was thrown horizontally in the air, spinning and flying upside down. When he landed, his pupils were dilated, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Ah...tui!" Zhao Chuanxin looked around among the many knights: "Who else is there?"

Behind them, Che Heza and Badang A had already taken it upon themselves to lead people to surround them.

Because of their fierceness, no one dared to speak anymore.

The leader was trembling: "I, I, I will report this matter to the Chechen Khan."

Ji Chechen Khan, named Demuchuk Dorji, was the Minister of Affairs of the Mongolian Kulun.

At this time, the Manchu Kulun minister was named Yanzhi.

In the past, the Minister of Affairs of Kulun, a native of Outer Mongolia, had the most power, but later his power was taken back by the Manchus.

Zhao Chuanxin swung the stolen riding crop and slapped the leader on the face.

Snapped!

"Ouch..."

There was a bloodstain on this man's face. Zhao Chuanxin said disdainfully: "So what if you report it to Yanzhi? If not, you can ask General Ulia Sutai if he dares to lead an army to confront me. ?”

During this march, Zhao Chuanxin was very high-profile. He had to let the herdsmen and the princes and nobles in the Outer Mongolia grassland know that he was such a big person.

In this way, subsequent cannibalization will have the effect of defeating others without fighting.

He is not afraid of disloyalty, and the hearts of the people on the grassland are drawn to Tsarist Russia.

Because without this drama, they will still fight for independence next year.

…

Aoki Xuanchun spread the news everywhere, and almost sent a letter directly to Zhao Chuanxin, telling him that he and others were hiding in Qiuba Mountain.

However, he waited and waited, but the Blizzard Team brought by Zhao Chuanxin and the Gray Ax Cavalry Regiment led by Hu Da were surrounded by twists and turns, but they would not come.

Waiting is the most anxious thing.

The most important thing is that Aoki Xuanzhun must leave Qiao Bashan before Zhao Chuanxin arrives.

But if Zhao Chuanxin is not here for a day, he must stay here to stabilize the morale of the army.

Aoki Xuanchun asked: "Is Zhao Chuanxin coming?"

The men shook their heads: "The Gray Ax Army is in Harchabu, and Zhao Chuanxin is leading the Blizzard Team in the north. Now even the Minister of Affairs of Cullen knows that they are showing off their power in the Chechen Khan, but they have not come to Qiuba Mountain."

Veins popped up on the back of Aoki Xuanchun's hands, and he roared: "Baga, is he lost?"

Men: "..."

…

Not only did Zhao Chuanxin not get lost, he also made a trip to Tsarist Russia in the dark and picked up enough food to support the march of the troops at the train cargo station in Chita.

The round trip journey only takes an hour and a half.

He then glided on the wind, found the Gray Ax Army's camp, and unloaded enough rations for Hu Da.

After that, they went for a spin near Choiba Mountain. While gliding at low altitude, Xingyue explored the terrain and various ambush locations.

After doing this, it will be almost half past ten at night.

Zhao Chuanxin teleported to Quite Shalanbai's house again.

Agure Ida is now his employee.

Zhao Chuanxin installed a stretchable folding bed in his room, and he slept here every day.

Zhao Chuanxin has been traveling back and forth more frequently these days.

At this time, it was around eight o'clock in the morning in Qutsalam.

When Agure Ida saw the elusive boss appearing, he immediately stepped forward and said politely: "Mr. Constantine, what should I do today?"

Here, he will not be beaten, he can eat three meals a day, and he will get extra wages.

The only thing is to work hard for Zhao Chuan, work closely and run errands frequently.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Go get me a bouquet of flowers to send at the funeral. I ask you to finish it within half an hour."

This guy has three characteristics.

The first one loves to brag.

The second mouth opened.

The third thing Zhao Chuanxin made things difficult for him was that he could always do it in a unique way.

For example, if you ask him to get flowers but don't give you money, this kid will basically complete the task.

After removing Ajure Ida, Zhao Chuanxian began to spread sand in the yard.

On the sand, use a mud trowel glove to gather the sand into a tower and build several large stone bricks.

Every day he would finish a few square meters so that no one would suspect.

Twenty minutes later, Agure Ida returned with a bunch of thyme.

He panted and said: "Mr. Constantine, it took me a lot of effort to get this bunch of thyme. By the way, are you going to attend a funeral?"

Zhao Chuanxin took the thyme and said: "Ulquidy Gomez's younger brother has died, and he said he is doing Gregorian Mass. Let's go have a meal and find out why this fool always gives me trouble."

Zhao Chuanxin has been using Ajure Ida very well these days, and he is worried that one night, this kid will be shot.

Agure Ida looked at the cloudless sky and said with a smile: "Gregorian Mass must be celebrated for thirty days in a row. As the saying goes, strong winds in February and rains in June and July are never late. In my opinion, the coming strong wind will blow away his brother’s funeral hall.”

Zhao Chuanxin was noncommittal.

He took Agure Ida to Urquidi Gomez's house.

Urquidi Gomez walked with a limp with a cloth wrapped around his thigh.

The culprit, Zhao Chuanxin, came forward with thyme in his hands. The cat cried and the mouse pretended to be compassionate: "Oh, Urquidy, how did your leg get hurt like this? Who did it?"

Urquidi Gomez's eyes were red and he stared at Zhao Chuanxin fiercely: "You..."

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

He suspected that his brother was killed by a stranger, and that his leg was injured inexplicably when he shot and sniped Zhao Chuanxin.

No matter what, he felt that the foreigner was a bad guy.

Zhao Chuanxin immediately looked at the mourning hall, his face full of sorrow: "Oh, I am really jealous of talents. It is really sad that a good man like Nachito Gomez died at such a young age."

People around him cast surprised glances at him.

I'll blanch you, do you call that damn guy a good person?

Urquidi Gomez was about to speak when suddenly a strong wind blew.

The lid of his brother's funeral hall was blown off...

Zhao Chuanxin turned his head in shock and looked at Ajure Ida, who had an innocent face.

The voices of various priests singing in low voices suddenly stopped.

Everyone spit out the sand scraped into their mouths.

Urquidi Gomez was furious and grabbed Villa Galvez, who came to help, and beat him to vent his anger.

Zhao Chuanxin grinned as he looked at it. He really didn't know how that old guy with his old bones could withstand so many beatings.

"Oh, please spare me Urquidi..."

Agure Ida scratched his head and muttered: "I think Juvencio is always afraid of his tenant Villa, but anyone can bully old Villa, why is Juvencio afraid of him? In my opinion, Maybe the death of Nachito Gomez has something to do with Villa.”

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

He couldn't help but look at the old tenant rolling on the ground.

Is the crow's mouth right again?

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't help but have some doubts.

Seeing the excitement at the scene, Zhao Chuanxin felt that it would be difficult to gain anything today, so he quietly left with Ajure Ida.

Urquidi Ida had finished beating him, straightened up, looked at the back of the stranger as he left, and said to his subordinates: "Don Camilo Torric won't let me touch the stranger during this period, saying that the governor will come at any time. Come. But I’m not willing to do it. What do you think I should do?”

"Urquidi, if you recognize the people on the cavalry patrol, why not let them come and enforce the 'escape law' for outsiders?"

After Mexico became independent, due to years of war, stragglers, unemployed vagrants, escorts, and bankrupt farmers gathered on the top of the mountain to loot homes and disturb the local area.

Quite like a bunch of people outside the customs.

When Díaz came to power, he began to recruit bandits and let them serve as policemen to maintain local security. This was the so-called rural mounted patrol.

This seems to be Zhang Zuolin's deeds back then.

But the Rural Patrol is really notorious.

They have an "escape law", which means that whenever the arrested criminals want to escape, the mounted patrols can kill them at will.

Tens of thousands of innocent people died in the attempt to escape.

Urquidi Gomez's eyes lit up after hearing this: "You are really smart."

…

Returning to the white house, Zhao Chuanxin assigned Ajure Ida a new task: "First thing, go and look for me in the town to see who has a suitable tall horse. I want to buy one.

The second thing is to ask where you can buy silicates, chlorates, and aluminum powder. "

Knowing that Ajure Ida could not remember it, Zhao Chuanxin wrote it on paper for him.
