mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 1081 Naughty Child

The Chili Peppers only have about 1700 people, while the rebels have snowballed to people.

There was a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides, and the Chili Team's home advantage was greatly undermined due to internal instability.

Miguel Esteban was wounded, so he left the front line.

Aguirre Ida dared to fight and charge, leading Justino in the front.

Pablo Rojas was in charge of the rear, commanding the overall situation while ensuring the safety of the base camp.

Despite the strict defenses, it was hard to prevent the rebels from becoming mobs among the lower-class people of Quetshalan.

They gathered together and besieged the estate of the landowner Camilo Torric.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Ever since Zhao Chuanxin arrived in Quetshalan, Camilo Torick has lost his former courage.

The talented people under his command were dwindling, and most of the brave ones had been killed by Zhao Chuanxin, and the rest were cowardly people who fled at the sight of the enemy.

Now, among these small fry, there were a few who rebelled and joined forces with the mob, and it took less than half an hour to break into the manor.

The fat boy Juvencio Torique was hidden in the cellar by his father. He witnessed his father being shot through the gaps in the wooden boards. His aunt, who was as charming as a ripe flower all day long, was abducted by the mob. There was a heart-piercing "creaking" sound above his head, which was the sound of furniture and other things being moved away.

In his arms was a book, a picture album given to him by Zhao Chuanxin.

He covered his mouth with the book. This was the only thing that gave him some comfort at the moment.

"Don John Constantine, please come and save me, save my aunt, please, show up..."

As I was praying, I heard the deafening sound of gunfire and screams from outside.

The blood flowed into the cellar through the gaps in the wooden boards.

Juvencio Torique touched his forehead and it was sticky, wet and fishy.

That is blood.

Then the cellar door was opened, and the sunlight poured in unhindered, causing Juvencio Torique to shield his eyes with his hands.

It's over, I'm going to be killed.

Juvencio Torique was despairing.

Then he heard a familiar voice: "Come up."

It was Don John Constantine.

Juvencio Torique seemed to have seen God.

He climbed out swiftly, and it turned out to be Don John Constantine.

Juvencio Torique saw his father lying in a pool of blood. Not long after he left the house, he saw his aunt, also lying in a pool of blood, with her clothes torn.

Zhao Chuanxin took a look at the corpse of Ignasia Torik, which looked like a meat bomb, and shook his head and sighed, "What a shame, what a shame, such a nice dress is torn."

Others: “…”

Then he walked out with Juvencio Torric and said, "Don't look at it anymore. Looking at it a few more times won't bring the dead back to life. Just accept the reality."

This is what troubled times are like.

Juvencio Torique was in a trance and burst into tears.

He followed Zhao Chuanxin away like a puppet.

Pablo Rojas said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Don John Constantine, the mob and the rebels are all dead."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded expressionlessly, walked to the onlookers of the Kuitshalan residents, jumped onto the low wall, and said to them in his fluent Spanish: "There may be rebel accomplices among you, I don't care. Just don't cause trouble in my territory. Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"

A man shouted: "Don John Constantine, you'd better think about the consequences of going against the rebels..."

boom.

The man fell to the ground after being shot in the forehead before he could finish his words.

Zhao Chuanxin blew away the smoke from the muzzle of the Colt revolver: "You should think about the consequences of going against me."

The rest of the people were silent and lowered their heads.

It’s hard to say who is more cruel.

Zhao Chuanxin led his men to the front line.

Aguire Ida was overjoyed to see Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin ordered people to drive over more than ten donkey carts, which were loaded with 7cm Italian field mountain guns and Maxim guns.

The Italian gun was stolen by Zhao Chuanxin from the Japanese in Sakhalin.

The Maxim was produced by the Benjamin Arsenal.

Zhao Chuanxin could see the arrogant faces of the rebels through the telescope. He curled his lips and said, "Set up the artillery and let them in to fight."

The Americans are funding the construction of railways outside the Great Wall, and the last installment of the payment will not be settled until next month, so he cannot reveal his identity for the time being.

If not for this, Zhao Chuanxin would be able to kill all the rebels in one go.

The rebels were very rampant, after all, they were numerous and powerful.

Pablo Rojas gritted his teeth and said, "This unit belongs to Zapata. Many of the guns they use were bought from us."

Zhao Chuanxin had dealt with Emiliano Zapata before, and he said with certainty: "At this time, the whole of Mexico is in rebellion, and Zapata cannot control all the troops. This should not be his intention."

The same is true.

Mexico was in turmoil, and neither Pancho Villa in the north nor Emiliano Zapata in the south could truly control the rebel forces.

The rebels and the mobs were in a frenzy at this time, like wildfire, burning all the rotten grass.

Sure enough, Zhao Chuanxin used a little trick and the rebels thought that the Pepper Squad was as vulnerable as the federal army they had encountered before and were preparing to escape.

They shouted slogans like "Kill the landlords and divide the land" and charged forward frantically.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand and said, "Fire."

Ten Italian small-caliber mountain cannons and dozens of Maxim guns fired simultaneously.

Boom boom boom...

Tata Tata...

The rebels were stunned.

They had fought their way here and had never encountered such heavy firepower.

Isn't it just life?
Aguirre Ida, Pablo Rojas, Justino and others had never seen such a war scene.

Even though the artillerymen were amateurs and the machine gunners were unlicensed, even though they attacked and killed indiscriminately, the rebels were still beaten and fled in all directions crying for their parents.

Zhao Chuanxin climbed onto the counterfeit: "The rest of you follow."

The biggest advantage of the Chili Squad is its mobility, as everyone has a horse.

Zhao Chuanxin took the lead, drew out his cavalry sword and slashed left and right, and sprinted a hundred meters to the end, killing 13 people with his cavalry sword.

He put his cavalry knife back into the scabbard on the side of the saddle, took out his Mondragon rifle and fired from horseback.

One shot after another, every shot hits the target.

The morale of the Chili Squad behind was boosted, and they charged forward shouting and screaming, with the M1908 lever-action rifle making a clicking sound.

Zhao Chuanxin pulled the reins and told his men: "Kill them! The rebels have a lot of money with them. Whoever grabs it will keep it."

Last time he killed someone to establish his authority and intimidate the newcomers.

Now his words are the imperial decree.

He ordered people to rob the rebels, so no one dared to rob the civilians.

Zhao Chuanxin sat on the stump of a bald cypress tree and watched the killing around him.

These rebels really robbed everything, like the corpse at Zhao Chuanxin's feet, which was actually holding a violin.

This violin was already very old. Zhao Chuanxin picked it up casually. After trying the tone, he found it was just an average one. He placed it on his shoulder and started playing.

While working on film music with Li Shutong, Zhao Chuanxin also learned violin from him.

It’s not that great, probably around level 4.

When a song called "Purple Passion" was played, killing became passionate.

The Chili Peppers continued to attack and shoot to the sound of violin and the wailing around them.

Zhao Chuanxin squinted his eyes and played the violin with great concentration. When he opened his eyes again, a group of people had gathered around him.

He put away his violin and stood up, saying, "Spread the news. From now on, whether it's the rebels or the federal army coming to Quetshalan, they will be like dragons coiled and tigers crouching!"

"Yes."

After washing up and having dinner, Zhao Chuanxin rode the third-generation dragon across the Atlantic Ocean and headed straight for The Hague.

……

Zhao Lingjun now has her own place in Noordeinborg - her own room.

She was pooping with her butt sticking out: "Margot, Margot, come and wipe my butt, I can't reach it..."

The door was closed and Margot couldn't hear it.

There was a bell nearby, but Zhao Lingjun couldn't reach it with his butt sticking out.

She said to the crow, "Go and call Margot."

The crow turned its head away and pretended not to hear.

Zhao Lingjun's eyes widened: "Go call Margot quickly, or else the poop will get on your pants."

The crow tilted its head and adjusted its feathers, standing still.

Zhao Lingjun was furious: "Just wait, just wait..."

Fortunately, Margot came to the bathroom by herself and wiped the princess's butt.

Zhao Lingjun pushed Margot away and clumsily pulled up his pants.

As soon as he pulled up his pants, he ran towards the crow.

She climbed up the chair using her hands and feet, and then she stood on tiptoe and slapped Crow: "You dog, I told you not to listen."

The crow was beaten so hard that he almost fell off the shelf.

Not willing to be outdone, it raised its wings and fanned Zhao Lingjun in the face.

Zhao Lingjun was slapped so hard that his chair fell off. It can be seen how powerful the force was.

Margot was startled and ran towards Zhao Lingjun in a hurry.

Zhao Lingjun got up from the ground as if nothing had happened and was about to fight the crow.

"Don't stop me, I want to beat this bastard to death..."

"Princess, don't be impulsive. We can discuss this."

Crows were chirping in the corridor.

Zhao Lingjun was shouting at the top of his lungs, chasing after him.

The two short legs were moving so fast that it was difficult for Margot, an adult, to catch up.

Margot secretly groaned, thinking that when the princess got a few more years older, wouldn't she overthrow Nordenburg?
She chased for a while and saw a figure at the end of the corridor.

Then the little princess braked suddenly, but failed to stop and fell and slid one meter in the corridor.

This fall was really hard.

Zhao Lingjun got up quickly and said, "Dad, you're finally here."

Zhao Chuanxin hugged his daughter and carried her on his shoulders: "What a strong heroine. She didn't cry even after falling like that. She's really amazing."

The crow landed on his other shoulder.

Zhao Chuanxin doesn't like Noordeinborg.

It was dark and we had to light the lamp both day and night.

Back in Zhao Lingjun's room, the crow landed, and the child and the bird were at peace because of his appearance.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the various toys he had collected for his daughter.

A wind-up boy holding a fan that can fan himself.

Margot was surprised and asked, "Sir, do you think this little guy is scary?"

Zhao Chuanxin hadn't noticed it at first, but when he looked closely, he saw that it was indeed a white face, a scarlet mouth, and red clothes...

"Why don't we stop playing this..."

Before Zhao Chuanxin could put it away, Zhao Lingjun screamed: "No, that's mine..."

A money stick - a bamboo stick with a vertical hole dug out and a copper coin inserted in it, which makes a clanging sound when it hits the ground.

Zhao Lingjun turned around and asked, "Dad, what is this called?"

"This is called the Overlord Whip, the Queen's weapon."

Zhao Lingjun picked up the Overlord Whip and was about to hit the crow on the shelf.

Zhao Chuanxin was quick to act and grabbed her by the collar.

Zhao Lingjun struggled with his legs but couldn't move forward, which made Margot very amused.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a wooden plane with a clay figure sitting in the cabin, which could also be wound up to run forward.

Zhao Lingjun was distracted and stopped talking: "I know, I know, this is called an airplane, Dad, can it fly?"

Margot thought to herself: The child won't move when led and keeps walking backwards. The best way is to divert his attention. Does the gentleman have a solution?

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "It can't fly, but it can run." As he said that, he wound up the spring and put it on the ground, and the three wheels of the plane glided on the ground.

Zhao Lingjun's eyes lit up: "This is not a plane, this is a treadmill."

"Three-legged treadmills are not common, so keep them for now."

Small chairs and clay figurines made of silver thread, building blocks, chess for children on the grassland, nesting dolls, and various small animals with hidden mechanisms...

Zhao Chuanxin also has a new toy for his daughter, but it's too late today, so he plans to give it to her tomorrow.

Zhao Lingjun happily fiddled with various toys.

Although he is smart, Zhao Lingjun has not lost his childish nature and is particularly curious.

Zhao Chuanxin said to his daughter, "It's almost time to go to bed. I'll go find your mother."

"No." Zhao Lingjun refused: "Just sleep here."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said, "If I don't hug your mother to sleep, she will be unhappy."

Zhao Lingjun threw the wooden toy to the ground: "Humph, if you don't hug Margot to sleep, Margot will be unhappy."

Margot: “…”

She thought to herself: It’s quite interesting, Your Highness. It really is quite interesting.

In the end, Zhao Chuanxin coaxed his daughter to sleep, and under Margot's disappointed look, he went into Wilhelmina's bedroom.

The Hague is at a low altitude, and the weather is changeable, with more cloudy days than sunny days.

Zhao Chuanxin arrived at a good time, as the weather was sunny.

He fled Nordenburg with the queen and princess, holding the mother and daughter in his arms and jumping out of the back window of the castle one by one.

The three of them rode their bicycles to the beach. Zhao Chuanxin showed Zhao Lingjun the electric beach car he and Xingyue had built: "Dad gave it to you."

Zhao Lingjun's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward roaring, making a strange sound "Didi Beibei".

"Our little car doesn't need to be powered by the mouth, it can run. Dad will teach you how to do it."

In The Hague, when people face the sea, the sun rises from behind.

Wilhelmina is the queen, but she is a little bit of a little girl at heart. Perhaps she should not have been born into a royal family.

She watched Zhao Chuanxin and Zhao Lingjun going crazy on the beach. The small beach buggy was powerful enough that its wheels swung up sand, splashing all over Zhao Chuanxin.

With no guards around, she had no worries about her safety.

With Zhao Chuanxin around, I'm afraid no one in this world can hurt her and her mother.

"We are going to the restaurant in front to eat. You drive and follow us."

Zhao Chuanxin walked in front holding Wilhelmina's hand.

Zhao Lingjun stepped on the accelerator and drifted to catch up: "Compete with me in speed, haha."

Duang!

"Ouch..."

But he bumped into a bronze statue on the beach.

The car got stuck and the wheels kept slipping and couldn't get out.

Zhao Lingjun jumped out of the car, stuck his butt out and dragged hard: "Get out of here..."

She actually pulled me out.

Wilhelmina frowned and said, "Be a lady..."

Zhao Lingjun turned a deaf ear to him, got into the car and rushed out, leaving behind a smug laugh.

Wilhelmina gnashed her teeth and said, "If this continues, I will be blind in a few years. What should I do?"

Whose child is only two years old and has grown to one meter tall?

Whose two-year-old child has such fast steps and amazing coordination of hands and feet?

At first, the child would cry when he fell down, but later he would just keep silent and get up and continue to act crazy.

At first, Zhao Lingjun's IQ shocked Wilhelmina.

Since he learned to crawl and walk, Zhao Lingjun's IQ, memory and language talent are still amazing, but he has lost interest in book learning and is so active that it is a headache.

Once, Wilhelmina was almost frightened to death.

There was electricity in Noordeinburg. Zhao Lingjun was curious about electricity. He reached out and touched it, and his hair stood up due to the electric shock.

Wilhelmina called a doctor, who examined her and told her: "The princess is in very poor health..."

Another time, Zhao Lingjun ran to the kitchen and knocked over the pea soup that had just come out of the pot.

There was a large burn on Xiaopang's arm.

Wilhelmina took great care of her only child and cried tears of heartache.

Although Zhao Lingjun grimaced, he didn't cry. Instead, he wiped Wilhelmina's tears: "What's there to cry about? It will be healed in less than three days."

Wilhelmina was worried that the burn would heal in three days, and the skin on her fat arm was as smooth and tender as usual.

Later on, there was simply no one to look after the princess.

If you lose focus for a moment, the princess will disappear.

Zhao Lingjun has a high IQ. Although he is a bit pretentious and curious about everything, he would not do something stupid like jumping off a building. He still has some sense of propriety.

The three of them arrived at the restaurant, and Zhao Chuanxin took a look at the menu: "What the hell is this?"

However, when Zhao Lingjun saw the waiter mopping the floor, he snatched the mop away and started wiping the floor back and forth with his butt sticking out.

The waiter didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Zhao Chuanxin recalled a news report he had seen, in which a naughty child was doused with hot pot soup...

He waved to Zhao Lingjun and said, "Come here, girl. Dad wants to tell you something."

Zhao Lingjun came over holding a mop: "Dad, what's the matter?"

"Have you ever thought that adults have a lot of worries, and when children make a fuss, they get annoyed. What if, one day, someone gets annoyed by your making a fuss, and they want to hurt you?"

Zhao Lingjun thought for a moment, then saw the crow standing on the stair railing outside the restaurant and said, "Let the ghost peck out his eyes?"

"..." Zhao Chuanxin coaxed: "What if the ghost doesn't have time to save you? It's like pea soup. What if someone throws pea soup on you?"

Zhao Lingjun waved his hand carelessly: "It's okay, it will only take three days."

"But it hurts."

"What's the pain? Dad, you don't understand. I can stop myself from feeling pain."

Zhao Chuanxin was puzzled: "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Lingjun glanced at Wilhelmina and hooked his finger at Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin came over, and Zhao Lingjun whispered in his ear, "Dad, one time my mom spanked me, and I found that I could make myself feel no pain if I wanted to. I didn't feel pain when I fell down, and I didn't feel pain when I got burned."

Zhao Chuanxin was shocked.

Ever since he took the Six Senses Potion, he has been able to block out the sense of pain.

The problem is, when Wilhelmina was pregnant, he hadn't taken the Six Senses Potion yet, so it couldn't have been inherited, right?

Gene mutation?

"Really, Dad. I can also not feel itchy when bitten by a mosquito. Don't tell my mother that it doesn't hurt when she hits me. Let her be proud for a few years."

"..."

"What are you two whispering about?" Wilhelmina was unhappy about being kept in the dark.

Zhao Chuanxin coughed and said, "Nothing. Zhao Lingjun said the food here is not tasty and asked me to cook for her."

The three of them didn't eat in the restaurant after all.

After leaving the house, Zhao Chuanxin was still worried: "Girl, if someone wants to stab you with a knife, it will be very dangerous. How will you deal with it?"

"Dad, I heard the guards talking privately. They said you can beat hundreds or even thousands of people by yourself. Teach me. I will beat up anyone who annoys me in the future."

Zhao Chuanxin thought it made sense.

This kid is too naughty. He is always prepared for the worst.

"Dad can teach you something, but you can't hurt anyone recklessly."

"I promise." Zhao Lingjun smiled happily.

Wilhelmina’s face changed: “No, I don’t agree.”

The three men fled from Noordeinde, but were discovered by the guards who chased them while making breakfast on the beach.

Zhao Chuanxin was mischievous and made a guard shape for Zhao Lingjun using black rice, eggs, apples, cream and chocolate sauce.

The hat is made of black rice, the face is made of boiled eggs, the body is made of red apple peel, and the facial features and pants are outlined with chocolate sauce and cream.

It can't be said to be similar, it's simply lifelike.

Zhao Lingjun laughed out loud after seeing it, and happily handed it to the guard to see.

The guard's face turned dark.

Wilhelmina smiled bitterly: "You two, father and daughter, together can make people angry to death."

Although Zhao Chuanxin teased the guards, he made breakfast for them.

Corn porridge, potato pancakes, fried fish, Mexican tacos...

No one knew where he got the stack of plates from.

Zhao Chuanxin called out, "Come over and eat together."

The guards were unmoved, but they hadn't eaten breakfast and their stomachs were rumbling and they were swallowing hard.

Wilhelmina said, "Come over and eat together."

Only then did the guard dare to take it.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said, "Thank you for protecting my family. I made a few knives for you as gifts."

Zhao Chuanxin handed a knife to each guard.

Each knife comes with a cowhide sheath. When pulled out, the sunlight flows through the dragon scale pattern on the blade.

This is an alloy knife, mixed with metals brought from the Codex of the Old Gods.

The pupils of several guards contracted as they watched - it was so damn beautiful.

The knife made by Zhao Chuanxin himself is very impressive when it is mentioned to others.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Lingjun: "Dad, I want one too."

Wilhelmina: "Shut up!"

……

Saturday, May 5, early morning.

More than 4500 rebels surrounded the Mexican city of Torreón and engaged in a fierce battle with the 800 federal defenders in the city.

On the evening of May 5, the Union Army retreated.

At six o'clock in the morning on May 5, the rebels entered the city of Torreón.

Many Mexicans have long disliked the Chinese.

Why?

The Chinese are smarter, more hardworking, and naturally richer than them.

After the rebels entered the city, they immediately colluded with the mob and began looting and destroying Chinese shops, burning, killing and looting.

How much do they hate Chinese people?
Death is not the end, the corpse must be whipped.

Chen Bangshu's wife advised him to close the business some time ago, but Chen Bangshu refused.

As a result, when the rebels entered the city, his laundry room was the first to be hit. In order to allow his wife and children to escape, Chen Bangshu stood guard at the door to delay time.

He told his wife: "Send a telegram to Mr. Situ and ask him to find Mr. Zhao to protect you..."

Chen Bangshu was hacked to death by the surging mob with Mexican scythes, and his head and limbs were thrown on the street by the mob.

A group of rebel cavalry drove Chinese vegetable farmers on the outskirts of Torreón to a nearby slaughterhouse.

They made the Chinese vegetable farmers line up and then shot them collectively on the spot.

Afterwards, he drove his horse to trample on the corpse to vent his anger.

The massacre lasted from sunrise to sunset in the morning.

During the riots, more than 300 Chinese people, including Chen Bangshu, died.

The amount of property looted was innumerable.

Kang Youwei's Huamo Bank was also robbed.

Chen Bangshu's wife and children escaped the disaster, but the next day, after the rebel leader ordered a ban on the massacre, they managed to send a telegram to Situ Meitang in New York.

Situ Meitang was shocked when he received the news and immediately called Freddy Pavitt to explain the situation.

It took most of the day for the telegram to reach Hong Kong Island.

After receiving the telegram, Li Guangzong used a wireless mobile phone to chat in a group chat: "Shijie, you must immediately ask the Americans to pay off the remaining railway debt, preferably today, and publish a message on the Internet in the name of the president of Lubinfu Bank to announce it to the whole country..."
