The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 995: Recapture of Dongdao on February 26, the first year of Xuantong

When Margot entered the house, she saw the two men drinking soup.

"Sir, when did you come?" Margot asked in surprise.

"I told you, my father will come to find me." Zhao Lingjun looked at Margot sideways.

Zhao Chuanxin fed her a sip of complementary food and said to Margot, "I'll stay for one day and then leave."

"So urgent?" Margot was disappointed.

I don’t know why I’m so disappointed.

The complementary food that Zhao Chuanxin fed Zhao Lingjun was mainly rice noodles, supplemented by egg yolk, minced shrimp, and fish.

Margot then remembered and asked anxiously: "What did you feed her?"

Zhao Chuanxin reported the name of the dish, and Margot was shocked: "She can't eat meat yet..."

"Obviously, I can." Zhao Lingjun said with a smile.

Zhao Chuanxin touched her belly and felt that she was ready, so he put down the spoon.

Just as Zhao Lingjun was about to shut up, Zhao Chuanxian had already taken out the cashmere blanket, and Zhao Lingjun immediately shut up.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take her out for a walk and come back later."

Soon, Wilhelmina learned that Zhao Chuanxin was coming, and she went to work quickly, returning home as fast as an arrow.

When she rushed back to Nuldenburg, Mr. Zhao Chuanxin had not returned yet.

Zhao Chuanxin took Zhao Lingjun around the English Channel and landed on the British coast.

He pointed to the direction across the sea and said to his daughter: "That's Dunkirk in France. If Britain and France form an alliance and fight other countries, this will be the landing place. Of course, they will also retreat from here. If by that time, France will definitely have been conquered. Germany occupied."

He was talking about the Dunkirk evacuation.

Much later.

Zhao Lingjun stretched out his chubby hand, pointed at the sea and said, "When I grow up, I will swim across here."

"Then you'd better swim to Calais, Dunkirk is too far away."

The two men chatted for a while, and then a British soldier patrolling the coastline came over and said in a bad tone: "What are you doing here?"

Zhao Chuanxin held his daughter in his left hand and lit a cigarette in his right hand: "I'm here to spy on military secrets."

The soldier widened his eyes and looked around: "What secrets can you spy on with your children here?"

Zhao Chuanxin blew out a smoke ring: "You still ask after knowing it?"

Soldier:"……"

The soldier was a little angry after being beaten. He pushed Zhao Chuanxin and cursed: "Get out of here and go somewhere else."

If he were a white man, maybe he would have a different attitude.

Zhao Lingjun stared with wide eyes, wondering how her father would handle this situation.

Zhao Chuanxin's hand came first, grabbed the soldier's wrist, and kicked the soldier's thigh with blunt force. With one kick, the soldier did a big split.

"Ouch..."

It hurts my balls.

The soldier wanted to touch the gun on his back, but Zhao Chuanxin made a nonchalant move, raised his leg, and hit the soldier in the cheek with his kick.

Snapped.

The soldier rolled his eyes and fainted.

Zhao Chuanxin handed over his Lee-Enfield box-action short rifle, and Zhao Lingjun was delighted.

"Daughter, dad is sleepy, let's go back to sleep."

Taking her daughter back to Nuldenburg, as soon as Zhao Chuanxin entered the house, Wilhelmina pounced on him.

Lao Zhao has the princess on her left hand and the queen on her right hand.

Margot, who had been waiting with her camera for a long time, pressed the shutter at the right time.

Click...

Record the peak moments of Magistrate Zhao's life.

But Zhao Chuanxin still said to Margot and Wilhelmina: "The photos are not allowed to be circulated."

He had so many enemies that he never took pictures.

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhao Chuanxin woke up, left a note for Wilhelmina, activated the energy fluctuation and convergence rune fragments, and teleported back to the mountainside hut.

The energy fluctuations converge with the rune fragments. One point is fixed and the other point is positioned based on the position before the teleportation. No matter whether Zhao Chuanxin is at the end of the world, after it is turned on, it will still return to the position before the teleportation to Quite Shalan.

This saves a lot of faith.

Lubinfu and Beijing are basically at the same longitude and the same time. The Hague is 6 hours behind Lubinfu.

Zhao Chuanxin asked the puppet slave to wash and shave himself, and then went to work as usual after breakfast.

Today he had to finish his official duties early and free up time to rob the Dongsha Islands.

Just riding a camel, Cui Fenghua had just arrived at the entrance of the Lubin government office. Cui Fenghua had been waiting for a long time.

He handed a telegram to Zhao Chuanxin: "Sir, this is a telegram sent by your apprentice Benjamin. It is of great importance."

Benjamin Goldberg is different from Jiang Jian. He does not scruple his words and tells the story straightforwardly: Master, I heard that there is a British wrestler in Shanghai called Opi Yin, who insults you as the sick man of East Asia. Zhang Zhankui is angry and leads Beijing and Tianjin. I hope that a familiar martial artist from the Hebei area will go to Shanghai to fight for you. I am just in time to meet you, and I will bring some food with me. Come quickly...

Zhao Chuanxin is very sensitive to these four words.

The poor people had no food to eat and naturally could not afford opium.

The problem lies mainly with the aristocracy.

Most of the wealthy foreigners are those who like hunting and various sports. In addition, living conditions have improved in recent years, and they are born tall and strong.

As for the big businessmen in the country, once they were exposed to opium, they would become emaciated, with hunched shoulders and slumped backs, and dull eyes, and they would stand together and judge.

Is it really inferior to others? not necessarily.

Since ancient times, people in the Central Plains have always been tall and tall, while ghosts and ghosts have been short and insignificant.

In the Qing Dynasty, the situation was reversed.

However, they have only been civilized for a few years, and their tails are already raised to the sky.

What are you talking about?

Zhao Chuanxin crumpled the telegram into a ball, threw it into the black iron trash can, and put it into the basket accurately.

"I understand. I'll go back to work first and tell Zhang Heyan and Yao Shijie later that I'll be away for a few days."

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhao Chuanxin finished handling his official duties, left the Lubin Mansion Yamen, and transferred to No. 10 Tongyan Dingdong Island.

The house he built on Dingdong Island was intact, but the surging seawater sometimes agitated onto the plank road and glass in front of the house, causing a thick layer of sea salt and the feces of seagulls and other seabirds to accumulate on it.

As soon as Zhao Chuanxin arrived, a group of seagulls, not very afraid of people, started to scream at their necks.

He had no fondness for such rogue birds, so he raised his leg and kicked one seagull away, and the other birds soared into the sky.

Here, he buried gold.

Seeing nothing unusual, he got up and went down the mountain, riding on the three-generation dragon and galloping on the sea.

The Japanese were disgusting. At first, Nishizawa Yoshiji led people to Dongsha Island, planted a plaster flag, and renamed the place Nishizawa Island.

Negotiations between the Qing court and Japan were fruitless. Later, the Japanese intensified their efforts, demolishing the Dawang Temple, driving away local fishermen, and occupying the island.

Later, Zhao Chuanxin quietly killed Nishizawa Yoshitsugu, and the Japanese withdrew the plaster flag.

Zhang Renjun originally thought that Japan would evacuate obediently for fear of Zhao Chuanxin.

Unexpectedly, they only removed the plaster flag, and warships did not dare to swim nearby, but merchants' fishing boats and cargo ships still came and went here.

Not occupying it in name, but telling Zhang Renjun with actual actions: Do you want to drive us away? no way.

It's as difficult as dog skin plaster.

Zhang Renjun sent Fubo ship commander Liu Yikuan to the Dongsha Islands several times to survey the terrain. After Zhao Chuanxin taught him twice, overtly and secretly, the Japanese no longer obstructed them, but secretly used stumbling blocks.

This time, Zhang Renjun sent Cai Kang, the alternate prefect, and Liu Yikuan to Dongsha Island to directly take over Dongsha Island and no longer argue with the Japanese.

Cai Kang led people to the island, while the Japanese businessmen looked on with cold eyes.

When Tsai Kangdao made his intention clear, the Japanese businessman Kentaro Ume sneered and said: "If you want to take over Nishizawa Island, you can. The wooden sheds and houses we built are discounted at 500,000 taels of silver. As long as you are willing to pay compensation, we will leave."

Five hundred thousand taels of silver?

Liu Yikuan's eyes widened: "Why don't you go and grab it?"

"Where can I rob faster than you can pay compensation?" Mei Kentaro said bluntly, with a villain's face.

Liu Yikuan: "You..."

Cai Kang was also furious, but at least he was not as hot-tempered as a warrior like Liu Yikuan.

He said coldly: "This is not Xize Island, this is Dongsha Island. Dongsha Island has been an island of our country since ancient times. Did you get our consent when you built it here?"

"Then I have nothing to do with it." Ume Kentaro sneered: "You didn't agree, but you didn't disagree either. So if it is built, you will have to pay money."

Before setting off, Zhang Renjun had already anticipated the ugly face of the Japanese.

He had no idea and told Cai Kang that if he wanted to pay compensation, he should agree to the Japanese within a reasonable range to avoid any trouble later.

This is the consistent style of the Qing court, asking for their own land and paying money to foreigners. This has been done many times, such as in Hankou.

"Five hundred thousand taels is impossible. I will give you a discount of 5,000 taels for the sheds you built, and the price of those houses is 3,000 taels, for a total of 8,000 taels."

"My lord, are you sending beggars away?" Cai Kang spat on the beach: "Ah... tui! Five hundred thousand taels of silver, not a penny less, otherwise please leave."

As if this land is theirs.

While Cai Kang was still talking, an unknown object came speeding towards the sea.

That thing was so fast that it could be called lightning speed and attracted everyone's attention.

A local fisherman from Dongsha Island immediately knelt down: "It's the Dragon King, it's the Dragon King, I saw the dragon's beard..."

The dragon whiskers he was talking about were just rainbow particles ejected from the flanks of the three generations of dragons.

In a few breaths, the thing approached Dongsha Island, slowed down, and opened the side door. After Zhao Chuanxin got out, he directly collected the three-generation dragon, but the man disappeared into the sea water.

The people on the shore were stunned.

I thought the Dragon King had turned into a human form.

Otherwise, why did the thing suddenly disappear when the human form appeared?

Otherwise, why did the man just disappear into the sea water?

As they watched, the water surged in front of them, and a figure rushed out of the sea and landed on the shore.

Zhao Chuanxin evaporated the water vapor on his body and patted the salt noodles left on his clothes.

"Who are you?" Mei Kentaro pointed at Zhao Chuanxin, with no fear on his face.

No one, including Mei Kentaro and Cai Kang, recognized Zhao Chuanxin, but Liu Yikuan did: "You, you are Zhao Chuan... Mr. Zhao."

The word "Zhao Chuanxin" almost blurted out, but Liu Yikuan then thought about it. Zhao Chuanxin is now the prefect of Lubin Prefecture, so he cannot be called by his first name.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded at him, then lit a cigar, looked around, and his eyes fell on Mei Qiantaro: "From now on, the surname of this land is Zhao."

Ume Kentaro laughed loudly: "surnamed Zhao? Who the hell do you think you are, surnamed Zhao? Are you talking so brazenly here?"

As he spoke, the surrounding Japanese fishermen, businessmen, and thugs slowly gathered in this direction.

Cai Kang immediately became nervous and winked at Liu Yikuan frequently.

But Liu Yikuan's expression was very strange. He looked at Mei Kentaro with pity and turned a blind eye to Liu Yikuan's little actions.

Ume Kentaro was so angry that he was about to speak when he saw the tall man take out a large and scary war bow and a black and red arrow.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin take out his bow and arrow, the Japanese around him drew their swords one after another, and the sound of "crowning" could be heard endlessly.

Zhao Chuanxin held a cigar in his mouth: "The man surnamed Zhao is not a good guy. The man surnamed Zhao has changed his mind. From now on, all Japanese who dare to land on this island will die."

As he said this, he shot the Poverty Arrow diagonally into the sky without even looking.

Zhao Chuanxin put away the bow and waved his hand.

The Poverty Arrow fell from the sky and pierced the top of Mei Qiantaro's head.

Before everyone could react, Zhao Chuanxin continued to wave his arms, and the Poverty Arrow rushed left and right.

Chi Chi Chi Chi...

The rainbow particles would only leave a faint halo of tail flame during the day, and the Poverty Arrow would penetrate the Japanese one by one wherever it passed.

"Ah..."

The screams were endless, forming a symphony.

Zhao Chuanxin was the musician conducting the symphony.

As his arms were waving, the Japanese on the island suffered heavy casualties.

Cai Kang's pupils were shaking.

Liu Yikuan and the sailors and soldiers he brought with him stared with wide eyes.

There was also a Japanese warrior who rushed towards Zhao Chuanxin with a knife in his hand. Halfway through, he was pierced by the arrow of poverty and knelt down to struggle.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that he was not dead yet, so he waved his hand back and forth and pulled it back and forth. The arrow of poverty stabbed back and forth like the needle of a sewing machine.

Puff puff puff...

The Japanese man's body was full of holes, and he screamed heartbreakingly, which made people's scalps numb. Finally, the lung lobe was pierced and the scream stopped.

Zhao Chuanxin swung his arm violently, and the arrow of poverty drew a big arc and passed through half a circle of Japanese.

Finally, Zhao Chuanxin saw a diving Japanese head exposed, and swung his hand back.

The arrow of poverty passed through the skull like an arm, stabbed into the water and flew up again.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand, and the arrow of poverty flew back. Zhao Chuanxin grabbed it and changed it to a smelly liquid tank to store it.

Cai Kang took a step back and sat on the beach with a pale face.

It took less than three minutes to harvest dozens of Japanese lives. It was too scary.

Someone exclaimed: "Flying sword, this is a flying sword of the gods..."

It was a flying arrow, not a flying sword.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Liu Yikuan: "Go back and tell Lord Zhang that I will take over this island in the future."

When dealing with the Erchen Maru, Liu Yikuan was also there.

He admired Zhao Chuanxin very much.

Liu Yikuan stammered: "Lord Zhao, but..."

Zhao Chuanxin raised his eyebrows: "No buts, the island belongs to China, but the surname is Zhao for the time being."

"Yes, yes..." Liu Yikuan didn't dare to refute, and hurried to help Cai Kang: "Lord, let's go."

Cai Kang looked at Zhao Chuanxin, and then at the residents on the island who were full of fear, and he didn't dare to say "no".

He could only take a small boat with Liu Yikuan to the big ship, and hurriedly left to report back to Zhang Renjun.

However, after boarding the Fubo ship, Cai Kang asked Liu Yikuan: "Who is that man? Is he a god?"

"Uh..." Liu Yikuan smiled bitterly: "Others call him the God of War."

"Zhao Chuanxin?" Cai Kang said in surprise.

"It's him."

"No wonder."

"Don't worry, sir. When we go back and report to Governor Zhang, Governor Zhang won't blame us."

...

On Dongsha Island, there is a sea merchant named Liang Zhenfan, who is quite clever.

Just now, Zhao Chuanxin killed people with the Chip Poverty Arrow, which was like a ghost technique. Everyone else was afraid, but Liang Zhenfan dared to approach him.

Zhao Chuanxin took out two dollars and gave him: "Find some people to throw the Japanese into the sea to feed the sharks, regardless of death or injury."

Liang Zhenfan's body shook, so cruel, he threw the injured into the sea, and the sharks came to smell the blood and bit them to death.

He quickly refused, saying righteously: "The Japanese are extremely hateful. We have long wanted to drive them away, but we are powerless. Now that you have taken action, how dare we ask for money? But, old immortal, what if the Japanese come back to seek revenge?"

"How old are you?" Zhao Chuanxin spat: "My name is Zhao Chuanxin, the prefect of Lubin Prefecture. I will be in charge for two days. If the Japanese come to seek revenge, I will send them away."

"Mr. Zhao?" Liang Zhenfan was stunned. "Do you know a chivalrous man nicknamed "Swift Swordsman?"

"That's me too."

"Ah this..."

When the people around heard this, they were no longer afraid: "You are the Swift Swordsman, no wonder you look familiar..."

The last time Zhao Chuanxin came, he reported the name of the Swift Swordsman.

Then they cursed one by one: "Damn Japanese..."

From what Zhao Chuanxin said, this island will be under his protection in the future, how many Japanese do you count?

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the dried seaweed in the wooden shed and said, "In the future, sell all these seaweed to me. I will take as much as you want. No need to transport, I will pick up the goods on the spot."

Some people are happy, some are worried.

At least Liang Zhenfan is worried.

He is a sea merchant, coming here to collect sea goods and sell them back. Zhao Chuanxin collects them on the spot, what should he do?

Zhao Chuanxin needs a manager, Liang Zhenfan is bold and careful, so he said, "You are responsible for collecting, and I am responsible for picking up the goods. You can make money, but don't be too ruthless. I want you to help me take care of this island."

Liang Zhenfan was flattered.

Everyone looks at Zhao Chuanxin from a different perspective. Warriors look at Zhao Chuanxin's fighting ability, businessmen look at Zhao Chuanxin's financial strength, politicians look at Zhao Chuanxin's governance ability, and women covet Zhao Chuanxin's beauty...

Liang Zhenfan knows that Zhao Chuanxin is a rich man, the kind of rich man.

In terms of wealth, the richest man Sheng Xuanhuai is not his opponent.

Liang Zhenfan heard that Zhao Chuanxin had swindled a large sum of money from foreigners on that Chinatown in the United States, making the foreign tycoons want to eat him alive.

Now that there is an opportunity to cooperate with Zhao Chuanxin, whether or not to make money is secondary.

"Mr. Zhao, I will definitely help you take care of Dongsha Island."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled.

He planned to stay here for two days to prevent the Japanese from coming with warships to seek revenge.

He built a flagpole on the east side of the island, on which hung a large flag with a black background and gold edges, with the words: Zhao.

A stone tablet was set up next to the flagpole, which read: Zhao Chuanxin took over Dongsha Island on March 30, 1909, February 26, the first year of Xuantong.

Dongsha Island was neither hot nor cold at this time. Zhao Chuanxin placed a lounge chair on the beach, and his feet were gently brushed by the tide again and again, which was very comfortable.

He opened the "Old God Code" and transported less than 10 kilograms of sea grass, about 120 balls of sand.

He did it on purpose.

[I sell sea grass at the door of Haishi Xujing Apartment. ]

[According to the market price, 1 ball of sand is 5,000 gold coins. ]

[Someone immediately bought 100,000 gold coins. ]

[Among the people who heard the news, some did not have enough gold coins to pay, so they used goods to exchange for goods. ]

[In a moment, all the sea grass of 120 balls of sand were sold out, with a total of 100,000 gold coins, 10 low-level blue crystals, and 4 heat source gems. ]

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes glowed green.

[I went to the virtual bank in Haishi to withdraw gold coins. ]

Zhao Chuanxin transferred all the gold coins back.

[When I was about to leave the bank, I was stopped. ]

[The one who stopped me was the No. 9 virtual elder of Haishi virtual. ]

[I didn't expect that the sale of sea grass would alarm the virtual elder. ]

[The virtual elder said: Where did you get the sea grass? How much do you have? Hand it all over. ]

This made Zhao Chuanxin's bones shake.
