mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 244 If no one clarifies, then I will start spreading rumors
Just like Shinoda Zhisaku said, Zhao Chuanxin has no channels to publish newspapers in South Korea.

But he didn't want to do that at all.

Since the Jiandao area is to be recaptured, is there any use for going to South Korea?
That night, Zhao Chuanxin took people to the Jiandao area.

It's like later generations sweeping buildings with leaflets, Zhao Chuanxin and the others sneakily carried newspapers and put them in front of each house.

If someone finds out, then generously send a copy to them.

If you want to yell?Sorry, that's a big deal.

It doesn't matter even if you use it to wipe your butt and paste the wall, the quality doesn't matter, anyway, the quantity must meet the standard.

Tonight, Liu Yonghe also came.

He asked in a low voice: "Captain Zhao, is this really useful?"

"Wait and see."

"How long will it take to see the results?"

"This is just a warm-up. There will be more exciting little movies later. It won't take long before I will make everyone here in Jiandao hate Little Japan."

After the newspapers were distributed, it was already very late.

Zhao Chuanxin looked up at the sky,
There is a round moon and colorful stars.

The moonlight is shining, and you can see the green willow trees beside the road.

In the distance, there are the outlines of mountains surrounded by the deep night sky.

In the ears, I can hear the rushing of the Tumen River, and the rustling of everyone's footsteps stepping on stones and legs touching the falling seeds of Suzi.

I can't tell how brilliant these scenes are, but it makes Zhao Chuanxin feel refreshed.

He was born in the black land, grew up in the black land, and has deep feelings for this land.

He is lazy, and he speaks freely, but stretching out his clothes and laughing and cursing does not affect his patriotism.

Just like Comrade Shuren is also patriotic and speaks out for this nation, but the quality of life of Comrade Shuren may be higher than that of Zhao Chuanxin.Who can deny the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of Comrade Shuren?
Comrade Shuren once said that Chinese characters must be eliminated, otherwise the country will perish.At least Zhao Chuanxin didn't say this, did he?
Sometimes, Zhao Chuanxin feels that everything he does is as illusory as imagination.

At other times, he felt that as long as these leftover fantasies were made strong enough and detailed enough, the fantasies would blend with the real world.

Perhaps, these things he did, in the eyes of visionaries, were far from overthrowing the Qing court, and even replaced it, which was not as exciting as these thrilling events.

But Zhao Chuanxin felt that what he should do was something he could control, and he could see the historical trend of the mechanism, instead of being a vain experientialist who operated indiscriminately regardless of the consequences.

Others think he is reckless, but he himself doesn't think so.

The next day,

In the Jiandao area, when people open the door, what they see is a newspaper that smells like ink.

It's fresh.

Ordinary people, who buys newspapers?With that money, I can exchange some soy sauce and eat an extra bowl of rice.

But if you give it for free, don’t don’t want it for nothing.

Some people can't read, but they can look at pictures and pictures.

A snot-nosed child returned home excitedly with a newspaper, and entered the parents' room: "Father and mother, look, what is this painting about?"

Wrapped naked in the quilt, his parents opened their eyes in a daze, and said angrily, "Isn't this a newspaper? Go out first, and come in later."

This is a family with good conditions, and they live in a separate room with their children.In poor conditions, men, women and children are crowded into the same room, and a curtain can be drawn to form a small world of its own.

At night, as long as you tell yourself that you are deaf, you will not be able to hear any strange sounds.

The snot-nosed baby was still in high spirits, and went out happily with the newspaper.

For the era of scarcity of materials, even a newspaper can become a toy.

The snot-nosed baby combed his hair so high that he sat on the threshold of his house, looking at the pictures in the newspaper cheerfully under the light of the rising sun in the east.

After seeing the painting, look at the photos again.

After reading the photos, I finally looked at the words above.

He scratched the back of his bald head: "Unfortunately, there are too few paintings."

In fact, Korean people are also people of flesh and blood.Especially in Jiandao, there is no difference between poor families.

After a while, his parents came out fully dressed and roughly grabbed the newspaper from his hand.

Men are literate and can understand Hangul.

He wondered: "The Japanese slaughtered our people? Why didn't I know about this?"

The woman stretched her head to look at Qi Qi: "Did it just happen, and it hasn't been spread yet?"

"Well, I have to find out. By the way, where did this newspaper come from?"

The couple looked at Snot Baby sitting on the threshold.

Snot Baby scratched the back of his head: "I don't know, there's one at the door."

This situation happened to every family in the Jiandao area.

Those who can read and write can read it for themselves, and those who cannot read can ask their neighbors.

At first, they inquired like this: "Have the Japanese slaughtered our people?"

Well, if no one disproves the rumor, they're going to start spreading it.

Slowly, it became a question like this: "Have you heard that the Japanese slaughtered our people!"

As the sun rises, pull up.The news brewed until the end, and it became: "God damn little Japan, don't want to die, even kill us Korean people!"

This is what Zhao Chuanxin wanted.

Don't overestimate the reason of the common people, don't overestimate the IQ of the mob.

In later generations, rumors that can be seen through by a fool often have the effect of people looting certain goods.

Anyway, others are robbing, if you don't rob, you will feel panic.

Hands are out of control at all.

Then grab it.

The effect is similar now.

Everyone else believes it, don't you?
Then you have no conscience, you are divorced from the masses.

You do not believe?Then if you don't love our Korean Empire, if you don't believe me, you will know it?

You do not believe?Then I have to talk to you and see how you die when the Japanese come to kill you!

If so, then believe it.

Yes, the Japanese massacred Korean civilians!
This storm blew faster than Liu Yonghe imagined, and it was stronger than Zhao Chuanxin expected.

When Kijiro Saito came to the Jiandao area again with the Korean police dog legs, he was stunned.

A group of people gathered together, took potatoes that had not been stored well in the winter and rotted, rotten cabbage leaves with yellow and unedible leaves, and feces from the field, and threw them towards Saito Kijiro from a distance.

Kijiro Saito's entourage was furious: "Baga, you gangsters, do you want to rebel?"

"Bah! The Japanese will die!"

"Get out of Korea."

"No, the Japanese should get out of China!"

Saito Kijiro looked down at the unknown creature's feces on his clothes, it was disgusting.

Seeing the raging crowd, he really didn't know what to do.

The entourage took the gun angrily and aimed at the approaching farmer.

The South Korean police were full of confusion, neither stopped nor stopped.

When the collective courage broke out, the farmers ignored the muzzle of the black hole, and continued to move forward with enthusiasm.

In China, the Japanese are still in the tentative stage of making progress.

But in South Korea, the Japanese have successfully passed that trial period, and now they are at a stage where they have no scruples.

Saito Kijiro's entourage fired viciously before he gave the order.

boom!
An older farmer fell down.

The shooting had a deterrent effect.

The farmers retreated sharply, and their collective courage disappeared suddenly.

The common people in South Korea also have a characteristic - they dance when they are not beaten, they are convinced when they are beaten, and they continue to dance after a while when the wind dies down.

They dared not speak out, like red crabs moving with the tide on the beach, they retreated efficiently and orderly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Only the family members were left, with their heads lowered, and with hatred invisible to the Japanese in their eyes, they dragged the old man's body away.

Saito Kijiro didn't make things difficult for the followers who shot, after all, it worked, didn't it?
He turned around and asked the South Korean policeman coldly: "Who can tell me what's going on?"

The eyes of the South Korean policemen, like the colorful shadows cast by the rising sun on Liu Shao, shone dodgingly, but they were speechless.

Saito Kijiro had a rather bad premonition, and vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with Zhao Chuanxin.

Snorted coldly: "Check it out for me!"

Regarding the matter of the Koreans, the South Korean police have to come forward to investigate.

"Yes!"

Chen Zhaochang and Wu Luzhen were also thinking about Zhao Chuanxin.

When he woke up in the morning, Chen Zhaochang's eyelids kept twitching.

He couldn't help but send someone to look for Wu Luzhen.

Wu Luzhen had just finished eating, and she was in a good mood, with her hands behind her back, humming a tune from an unknown drama.

"Master Chen, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Shouqing, I asked you to send someone to watch Jiandao, is there any movement?"

Wu Luzhen knew that the governor was under a lot of pressure, because President Cixi urged him to supervise the matter of Jiejian Island as soon as possible.

The imperial court did not understand this entangled diplomatic relationship, and only felt that moving the boundary pillars back to their original positions would be done.

He smiled and said, "I'm just watching, don't worry, Mr. Chen."

Chen Zhaochang nodded: "The imperial court came with a decree, saying that if the backwater army keeps making troubles, I will let this official lead people to exterminate them."

What Cixi meant was that it was nothing more than a group of bandits who took over the mountains and ruled them as kings. They should be wiped out at will, and they should not be allowed to spoil the important event of the peace talks.

Wu Luzhen's good mood suddenly disappeared.

He hurriedly said: "It's absolutely impossible. In fact, Governor Xu also received a telegram from the court. Governor Xu has already replied to the court. This matter is absolutely impossible."

Xu Shichang's reply to Cixi was just one sentence-the timing was not right, and the matter was put on hold.

After all, he is a feudal official with military power in his hands, capable and cunning, so what he says still carries a lot of weight.

Chen Zhaochang sighed: "What's the matter with Zhao Chuanxin?"

Although he disagreed with Wu Luzhen and Zhao Chuanxin's cooperation, Chen Zhaochang was now under pressure from both sides, and he became anxious.

Just as he was about to speak, Wu Luzhen's adjutant rushed to report.

"Senior, the Korean farmers on Jiandao clashed with the Japanese."

"What?" Chen Zhaochang reacted greatly, sitting up from the chair in shock.

The adjutant said excitedly: "In the morning, Saito Kijiro went to Jiandao to inspect, and was smashed by a group of Korean people with rotten vegetable leaves and dung eggs. In anger, Saito Kijiro's entourage opened fire and killed a civilian on the spot .”

Wu Luzhen and Chen Zhaochang looked at each other.

my cao...

Could this be Zhao Chuanxin's handwriting?
At the beginning, in front of Saito Kijiro and Shinoda Harasaku, he said conclusively that he would make fake news in the newspaper.

Could it be that he really made it?

But how is that possible?
Wu Luzhen waved her hand: "Tell people, pay close attention to Jiandao's every move, and report every detail."

"Yes!"

When the adjutant left, Wu Luzhen inexplicably felt a sense of pride: "How about it, Mr. Chen, let me say that Zhao Chuanxin is a strange person. He and his backwater army can't move. He can play a big role at critical times." .”

This is a good thing, Chen Zhaochang felt that the pressure was gone.

But his mouth must be unconvinced: "Hmph, let's see, when the Japanese come out to refute the rumors, this matter will soon subside. How will it help us expel the Japanese and regain the country?"

Heh, the dead duck has a hard mouth!
Wu Luzhen knew that the Japanese and South Korean military and police invaded Jiandao. Apart from wanting a springboard to invade China, they also wanted to collect taxes and count household registrations in Jiandao.

Therefore, the attitude of the Korean farmers there is also very important.

If a group resists Japanese rule, even if they build the Tongjianfu police station, it will lose at least half of its meaning, it is just an empty shell.

Chen Zhaochang added: "In addition to our active efforts here, this official has also notified major newspapers of the news, so as to ferment public opinion among the people and the world."

Wu Luzhen didn't take it seriously.

The British stand on the side of Little Japan, and the Yankees always like to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then do the thing of picking chestnuts out of the fire, and most of the other big powers just sit idly by.

Even if it is fermented again, it is nothing more than closing the door to enjoy yourself.

……

Besides, Zhao Chuanxin, after learning about what happened in Jiandao, he drank an extra bowl of porridge for breakfast.

Liu Yonghe was shocked by Zhao Chuanxin's methods.

"Captain Zhao, this trick of yours is really useful, the little devil will definitely have a headache now. What should we do next?"

"Next, wait for the Japanese to refute the rumors."

These words made Liu Yonghe very confused: "Why? Shouldn't we take advantage of the victory and continue to spread rumors?"

If people refute the rumors, wouldn't it be useless work?
"Don't worry about it so much, hurry up and train your troops. I'm a professional in spreading rumors. You don't understand."

"Forehead……"

These Japanese just like to dance, and Zhao Chuanxin expected them to respond.

These despicable and shameless little dwarfs are only missing a mushroom cloud between their fuss and cessation.

Captain Zhao didn't have any. If he had one at a critical time, he would probably be able to lie flat for the rest of his life.

In the past few days, Zhao Chuanxin built a reclining chair for himself in the first place.

It's been a long time since I lay down so comfortably.

The fly in the ointment is that the armrests of the recliner lack the thick texture of the pulp, which is a bit harsh.

In addition, there is no sponge pad below, buttocks, bad reviews.

Ganfan lay beside him, the old monk basking in the sun comfortably with his eyes closed, as if in a trance.

A good man protects the three villages, a good dog protects the three neighbors.

One person and one dog have already proved their worth.

Zhao Chuanxin enjoyed this rare leisure time, and picked up the very "serious" newspaper delivered by Cui Fenghua next to him.

It records the news of the Qing government's rectification of the three provinces outside the customs, reports some policies and achievements, and advocates the efforts of Xu Shichang and others.

Then there are actually articles persuading farmers, but compared to the ridiculous "Book of Persuading Farmers" in the Ming Dynasty and before, the ones in this newspaper are much more practical.

It even records how to choose good seeds, how to make farm tools and so on.

Continuing to scroll down, Zhao Chuanxin saw a piece of news that shocked him.

The title is - Taihu robbers rob a bank.

Looking down, it actually has something to do with him.

There are many salt lords on Taihu Lake, most of them come from poor backgrounds and make a living selling private salt.

Ever since the Qing government was short of money and began to turn over the salt industry to the public, even Li Shutong's family was in decline, making life even more difficult for these salt lords.

In order to resist the official sales of salt by the Qing government, these salt lords gathered together and bought guns and ammunition. With the vast water surface of Taihu Lake and the characteristics of easy concealment, they straddled different counties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and gradually formed robbers who robbed houses.

These Taihu robbers not only work with the government, but also often rob boat people and fishermen on the water, kidnap and rob money, murder and set fire, and do all kinds of evil.

It is even worse than the locks outside the pass.

Except for the six towns of Beiyang, what are the officers and soldiers of the Qing court?
Just like the officers and soldiers that Zhao Chuanxin dealt with around Lugang Town before, not only did they dare not come to suppress them, but sometimes they even tipped them off.

The same is true in the Taihu area.

These Taihu bandits, some with guns and some with fast boats, come and go like beards on horseback without wind.

Nobody cares.

That day, a group of bandits from Taihu Lake suddenly jumped to help the marine police gunboat that was docked. They subdued the marine police in a few strokes, tied them up and controlled them, and handed over their guns along the way.

Moreover, he boldly ran to the patrolling station and subdued all the patrolling policemen.

When Zhao Chuanxin saw this, he was really dumbfounded.

This group of Taihu robbers was stronger than him, Zhao Chuanxin, and they took over the police station before robbing the bank.He, Zhao Chuanxin, was just withdrawing money secretly.

Keep looking down.

These robbers were divided into several groups and operated at the same time. Some subdued the patrol and marine police, while others attacked the bank.

The bank cashier guard refused to hand over the key, and the gangsters shot the guard to death, then found the key from him and opened the cash vault.

The newspaper claimed that it was because the previous "unknown thieves" robbed foreign banks everywhere that the Taihu robbers saw "business opportunities" and followed suit.Taihu robbers stole as much as 4 yuan in this robbery.

Zhao Chuanxin slapped the armrest of the recliner.

Cui Fenghua, who was waiting for dispatch at any time, asked curiously: "Captain Zhao, what happened?"

Zhao Chuanxin was heartbroken: "The world is going down, how can this be reasonable, there is no king's law!"

Cui Fenghua stretched out his head to see that he was literate, and he could read newspapers quite quickly, and he could clearly understand the general content with a cursory scan.

He gave a thumbs up: "Unexpectedly, Captain Zhao is still concerned about the country and the people, he is really a role model for my generation..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhao Chuanxin say in exasperation: "When you rob a bank, it only costs 4 yuan. How dare you call it 'Gundam'? It's so fucking unreasonable!"

Zhao Chuanxin was heartbroken because he didn't know which bank started to change its strategy, reducing the number of guards and at the same time strengthening the transportation of reserves.

That is, once the money exceeds a certain amount, it will be shipped away immediately.

This saves the guard money to spend on transportation.Even if someone comes to steal, the loss will be smaller than when the security is tight.

It is unimaginable that he will go to a foreigner's bank to withdraw money in the future.Even if he stays up all night and looks as tired as if he was weak after working overtime with ten young ladies, the total amount is probably only about one hundred thousand yuan.

That's not even a fraction of what he's ever withdrawn.

The neighbors are disobedient and stop helping to save money. It's no wonder Captain Zhao is angry!
