mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 261 Daehan History Book, Remember You

The food was too simple for Zhao Chuanxin.

Regardless of meat or seafood, it is more like an embellishment in green and white vegetables, and the clear soup is watery and tasteless.

On the contrary, Xian Yubin ate happily.

After wandering the streets, he hadn't eaten such a hearty meal for a long time.

Jin Wuzhi suddenly said: "Mr. Zhao, I see that you don't seem to need me anymore, why don't I go back and report to you first?"

He was afraid.

Zhao Chuanxin is too busy. Since he came to Seoul, he has been overwhelmed with emergencies one after another.

If this continues, he will be arrested sooner or later according to the pattern.

Those who are light will go to jail, and those who are serious will lose their lives.

Zhao Chuanxin took a sip of kelp soup: "I told you to take the map with you, can you guarantee that the map is safe?"

Jin Wuzhi froze for a moment.

Although he helped Naoko Yuka with the words, he didn't know the inside story about "Dadongyu Map".

But obviously this map must be crucial.

He hesitated: "I'm afraid I can't guarantee this."

"Okay, then let's go first."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't embarrass him.

Because Seoul will be more chaotic in the future.

While eating, two people came in suddenly.

They wear sharp and stylish suits and talk loudly.

"Li Wanyong returned to Seoul today and hid in the Governor's Mansion. This afternoon, the national thief represented Korea and signed a traitorous treaty with Hirobumi Ito. It's hard to get over it."

"Mr. Ziming, is this true? Is he that impatient?"

The other seemed shocked.

"It's true! After signing the contract, Ito Hirobumi made a decision and rewarded Li Wan with a huge sum of [-] yen, which can be regarded as compensation for the destruction of his house. In addition, he was also awarded the Rising Sun Tonghua Medal. This dog thief, is it Our Korean traitor is also a great loyal servant of the Japanese."

Zhao Chuanxin naturally couldn't understand what they said.

But Xian Yubin and Jin Wuzhi understood.

Jin Wuzhi's expression changed.

He no longer considers himself a Korean, but the news is still unacceptable.

So, he quietly translated the conversation to Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin's reaction was exactly the opposite of theirs, and he was very happy.

Jin Wuzhi said: "That person seems to be the "Daehan Daily News". The oldest one is Liang Qiduo, whose name is Ziming. He is one of the co-founders of the newspaper."

Zhao Chuanxin vaguely knew this person.

Zhao Chuanxin put down his chopsticks as if unwilling to eat, and said, "Oh, it's really disgusting, it's really unreasonable, it's really unreasonable."

Jin Wuzhi was stunned: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the teacup: "No, I have to drink a cup of tea to suppress the shock. It really surprised me."

As he spoke, he drank it all in one gulp.

happy……

Maybe he was a little carried away, and Jin Wuzhi saw Zhao Chuanxin's schadenfreude.

Jin Wuzhi said: "Mr. Zhao, why don't you go back with me quickly. I think this place will really become the world of the Japanese right away."

Zhao Chuanxin slapped the table and said loudly: "What are you saying! Seoul will always belong to the people of Korea. South Korea will always belong to the people of Korea. The people of Korea will resist to the end."

The few people over there were attracted by the sound of table slapping and yelling, so they couldn't help looking over.

Liang Qiduo, with a messy beard, applauded loudly: "That gentleman is right, Daehan will always belong to the Korean people!
Under Liang Qiduo, named Ziming, haven't asked your name yet? "

People in this era are passionate, far beyond the imagination of indifferent people in later generations.

Zhao Chuanxin clapped his hands away: "It's easy to say, I'm Miao Renfeng, and I'm dictatorial to all kinds of dissatisfaction, and my word is invincible."

"..."

Liang Qiduo and the two were immediately dumbfounded.

The gods rule all kinds of dissatisfaction, and it sounds like they deserve to be beaten.

He didn't want to talk to Zhao Chuanxin anymore.

I feel that Zhao Chuanxin is playing tricks on him.

Jin Wuzhi wanted to cover his face, but Xian Yubin had never seen such a person who could talk without changing his expression.

But Zhao Chuanxin waved to that table: "Come on, come on, we are like-minded, why don't we form a table and discuss how to punish Li Wanyong, a thief."

Jin Wuzhi was startled, and hurriedly kicked Zhao Chuanxin under the table.

It means don't look for trouble.

Over there, Liang Qiduo hesitated for a moment.

But the round-faced young man next to him slapped the table and said, "What a like-minded person, let's go, let's make a table together."

This time, Jin Wuzhi didn't move either.

He could only twist his butt restlessly on the chair, and those who didn't know thought he was sitting on the fire wall or had hemorrhoids.

The young man with a rather round face sat over and cupped his hands at Zhao Chuanxin: "I'm Li Xiuji, a Korean-American. You shouldn't be Korean, right? Listen to the accent, it sounds like an accent outside the Qing Dynasty."

Both of them can speak Chinese.

Liang Qiduo later lived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Li Xiuji was a patriot who lobbied them in the Qing Dynasty.The official language of the two is even more slippery than that of Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin's understanding of Liang Qiduo came from Park Shenglie.

But the understanding of Li Xiuji comes from history.

This man is interesting.

He just likes such a young man who is easily overwhelmed by enthusiasm.

Hey, it's so good to be young!

He said convincingly: "Even the center of the universe is in Daehan, and there is no distinction between Qing Dynasty and Daehan. They are all the same, the same."

"Forehead……"

Liang Qiduo interjected: "I just heard from Mr. Miao that he wants to punish Li Wanyong's traitor. How do you say that?"

Zhao Chuanxin showed righteousness in his expression: "Of course, killing this dog thief can relieve the hatred in my heart."

It was even more angry than the Koreans present.

In foreign countries, Zhao Chuanxin has always let himself go, wishing that the world would be in chaos.Anyway, he didn't lose half a dime.

Li Xiuji was directly impressed by Zhao Chuanxin's acting skills.

He immediately said: "Brother Miao, if you assassinate Li Wanyong, take me with you, nothing else, but you have a passion for it."

Liang Qiduo hurriedly dissuaded him: "Be safe and don't be impatient, this matter should be discussed in the long run."

If you just know someone, you dare to slap your chest and swear that you will assassinate the leader of the pro-Japanese faction together, Li Wanyong.

Are you forced?

But Zhao Chuanxin said: "Okay! As for the blood of Brother Hideyoshi, I have to bring you too."

It's easy to kill Li Wanyong, but for the follow-up, Zhao Chuanxin needs a lot of hot-blooded young people in the second class.

Didn't this just come to your door?

Liang Qiduo was in a hurry: "Killing Li Wanyong will naturally relieve the anger, but it is a done deal. Even if Li Wanyong dies, the Japanese will succeed. The most important thing now is to find out that in the treaty signed by Li Wanyong and the Japanese, What exactly is it?"

Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart that the old boy is quite clear-headed.

Indeed, predicting the enemy's opportunity is a hundred times more important than assassinating Li Wanyong.

In the original trajectory, the Japanese took advantage of the premise that the Korean people did not know the truth, so that the puppet Han Ting lured senior officers of the Imperial Guard of the Korean Army and summoned them to Daeguanjeong, the headquarters of the Japanese Army in South Korea.

Then, in the name of the crown prince at that time and the emperor at that time, Li Ji, read out the imperial edict to disband the army.

This caught many people off guard.

If it were someone else, there would be some things that Zhao Chuanxin would not say.

But he spread rumors in Seoul that day, and the Daehan Daily News assisted him the next day.

Through Park Shengyeol, he got to know the newspaper and the staff behind it.

Knowing that Liang Qiduo is also an independence activist in Korea, he is still very positive.

Li Xiuji will be even more passionate and angry in the future.

That being the case, Zhao Chuanxin said generously: "I know what it is about."

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked.

Liang Qiduo breathed heavily: "Really? Tell me quickly, what's the content?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Never mind the details, there are three main points.

One, let Xiao Li, uh, let Li Xi abdicate.

The second is to deprive Korea of ​​its legislative power.

Third, disband the Korean army. "

The three pieces of content are earth-shattering.

Liang Qiduo sternly said, "How did you know that?"

Meeting by chance made it hard for him to trust Zhao Chuanxin.

"Don't worry about where I know it, even if it's fake, you won't lose anything. But if it's true, we can prepare for it, and that's a great benefit. What do you think?"

Liang Qiduo felt very reasonable after hearing Zhao Chuanxin's words.

The hot-blooded youth Li Xiuji was already blushing with excitement: "Li Wanyong, he really deserves death, he dares to sign such a treaty."

At this time, Li Wanyong, apart from increasing the anger value of the Korean people, is of little use.

Zhao Chuanxin patted Li Xiuji's arm: "Li Wanyong, I will let Brother Li watch him die with his own eyes. But the most urgent thing right now is how to deal with the Japanese."

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was very concerned about this matter, Liang Qiduo couldn't help becoming suspicious again.

Obviously, Zhao Chuanxin was from the Qing Dynasty.

Why should a Qing person actively participate in their internal affairs in Korea?

Is it because of your warm heart?
But Liang Qiduo remained calm and asked, "Mr. Yi Miao, how should we deal with the Japanese?"

Zhao Chuanxin did not answer this question immediately, but said: "Let's reason and analyze. If the Japanese abdicate the emperor of Korea, they must let the crown prince take over, right?"

Liang Qiduo was startled, then nodded immediately.

Zhao Chuanxin continued: "Li Ji is cowardly, and he will definitely become a puppet of the Japanese. At this time, the Japanese can disband the Korean army. Then, guess what will be the reaction of the people across the country? And the Korean army , will you be willing to submit?"

Liang Qiduo was thoughtful.

Li Xiuji slapped the table: "The people are bound to be angry, at least there must be large-scale demonstrations."

Parades and demonstrations have gradually become popular in East Asia as the west wind spreads eastward.

If there is nothing to do, parade to express dissatisfaction, benefit without cost, how wonderful.

As a Korean-American, Li Xiuji naturally understands.

Because American people often play this.

Liang Qiduo thought more: "Based on my guess, the top brass of the military must be furious, and if someone stirs up the flames, it will start a prairie fire and set off a frenzy of resistance."

"That's right." Seeing that the two had been guided, Zhao Chuanxin explained what would happen in the future, and asked again: "So is it better to resist, or not to resist?"

Li Xiuji was the first to jump up: "Naturally, I want to resist."

However, Liang Qiduo hesitated: "The Korean guards have 5000 people, and the town guards have only 2000 people, and their combat power is not as good as that of the Japanese soldiers, and their weapons are also worse. If there is a full-scale confrontation, I am afraid that they are not opponents, and the casualties will only increase."

Without Zhao Chuanxin's instigation, Li Xiuji became angry.

He roared: "Mr. Ziming, don't you resist because you are afraid of death? Wouldn't we want to destroy the country and exterminate the species?"

Liang Qiduo was at a loss for words.

Zhao Chuanxin, who was originally "filled with righteous indignation", now appears extremely calm and wise.

He said cheerfully, "We don't need to argue about this kind of thing."

The two couldn't help but look at him, waiting for the next sentence.

Jin Wuzhi spit on two idiots in his heart: Zhao Chuanxin gave the rhythm so easily.

Now it turns out that Zhao Chuanxin has become the leader.

This man is really poisonous.

Zhao Chuanxin had a reassuring smile on his face: "First of all, we can't decide whether the army will resist. The initiative is in the hands of those officers. I know an officer of the guards, and I can remind him in advance. If you want to resist the Japanese and reduce casualties of the Korean army, the resistance must be organized and prepared. For example, I let the Korean army master the arsenal in advance. For example, I called on the people to join the rebel army and resist Japan with the Korean army. people."

Liang Qiduo gasped.

This is so well prepared, and they are determined to rebel against the Japanese.

He didn't quite agree with such a fierce confrontation in his heart.

Therefore, two difficulties were raised: "First, even if the Korean army has weapons, it must not be an opponent of the Japanese army. Second, are the people called on to fight the Japanese army with hoes and rakes?"

Zhao Chuanxin blinked: "First, maybe the Korean army is not the Japanese army's opponent. But what if Ito Hirobumi or Hasegawa Komichi died? Will the Japanese army be in chaos? Will we succeed if we take the opportunity to resist? Second, the common people If we don’t have weapons, we can go to the Japanese army’s arsenal to steal them.”

"This..." Liang Qiduo was dumbfounded. "But how could Ito Hirobumi and Hasegawa Komichi die? Also, how can it be easy to go to the arsenal to steal arms? Also, if Ito Hirobumi and Hasegawa Komichi can be killed, then perhaps this catastrophe can be solved directly. Avoid, why resist?"

Shit, Zhao Chuanxin's face was a little dark.

The old stuff is stuck with a BUG.

Zhao Chuanxin naturally had to let the Korean army rebel first, and then he could move Ito Hirobumi or Hasegawa Haodao.

All he wants is chaos.

But from Liang Qiduo's point of view, delaying for a while is only for a while.

It is better to die than to live.

Resistance can be carried out by non-violent means.

The shameless spirit of the Koreans should be carried forward more, and there is always an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Zhao Chuanxin said very rascally: "Anyway, only after there is a quarrel, can I be sure to get rid of Ito Hirobumi. If there is no quarrel, there is no chance."

"..."

Li Xiuji said: "But, Mr. Miao, we have no ability to intervene in many things."

And that gets to the point.

Zhao Chuanxin sat upright: "The future of Korea depends on you and me. Brother Li, your task is to lobby patriots and form a rebel army outside the circle. I am responsible for preparing the Korean army and want to Find a way to steal the Japanese army’s arsenal. As for Mr. Ziming, your task is the heaviest. You need to find the gentry in Korea and let them donate money if they have money, and donate things if they have things. Fighting wars is silver!”

Liang Qiduo said in his heart: I didn't agree, why did I arrange the task.

But the words can't be said.

Saying it makes him appear to be a fake patriot.

He is at the forefront of Korean independence activists.

So he kept silent.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin secretly glanced at Li Xiuji out of the corner of his eye, and then said furiously, "Hey, did you make it difficult for Mr. Ziming? It seems that Miao was reckless."

Liang Qiduo: "..."

Li Xiuji was a bit over the top: "Mr. Ziming, when the Korean Empire survives and dies, are things outside of the body important?"

"I..." Liang Qiduo was very angry, but he could only sigh: "It's not that Liang is stingy, but how many guns and bullets can I exchange for my family and property? Good fortune is hard to give up, and others have to be willing to donate money." Okay."

He didn't realize that he had already fallen into Zhao Chuanxin's trap without knowing it.It seems that the contents of the three agreements are regarded as facts.

At this time, Xian Yubin, who had been silent by the side, suddenly put his dirty little hands on the table.

There was a sound of metal and wood colliding.

The little hand moved away, and there were five five-cent Korean copper coins.

It was the five that Zhao Chuanxin gave before.

His voice was very childish, but he said firmly: "I only have this money, and I am willing to donate it all."

my cao...

Zhao Chuanxin winked at the kid, God's assist.

He immediately stretched out his hand, pushed five copper coins in front of Li Xiuji, and said solemnly: "Brother Li, this is the first military expenditure of the Rebel Army, you take it."

Li Xiuji's eyes were red.

His eyes were foggy, his lips were murmuring, and his Adam's apple was trembling.

He counted the money very formally, although the amount was clear at a glance.

After that, he took out a pen and paper from his chest, wrote it down, and asked, "Little brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Xian Yubin!"

"Okay, Xian Yubin, we will record you in our Korean history books!"

Xian Yubin nodded seriously.

The atmosphere is touching.

Liang Qiduo said emotionally: "So, Liang has nothing to say. After returning, he secretly called on the masses to donate military expenses."

Zhao Chuanxin coughed lightly, and there should be chicken blood at this time, so his voice was full of emotion: "Mr. Ziming, if my prediction is not bad, Ito Hirobumi will soon force Li Xi to abdicate and let Li Mo take over. Daehan can no longer Let’s start all over again, there is only time left in Dahan. Mr. Ziming, you and I should encourage each other!”

Now, Liang Qiduo couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and said, "Then I'll go back and raise money."

Li Xiuji stood up, "I'm going too."

After Zhao Chuanxin discussed the contact method and location with them, he let them leave.

When the two went out, they were blown by the cool wind.

Liang Qiduo woke up first.

He suddenly felt a little ashamed.

I was quite alert at the beginning, but why did I agree to lobby for donations inexplicably later?
This matter is just the words of his Miao Renfeng family, it is difficult to tell the truth from the false.

In addition, the two parties are only meeting each other for the first time today, and they don't even know each other's background.

He sighed.

Li Xiuji stopped: "Why is Mr. Ziming sighing?"

"Hideyoshi, are you and I trusting strangers too easily?"

Li Xiuji took out a foreign cigarette and lit it: "Mr. Ziming, although I am impulsive, I am not a fool. You said, Li Wanyong signed the third treaty with the Japanese. If we can be invaded in Korea, we will be invaded." What is left? Nothing but the throne, the legislative power, and the army."

"This……"

"Mr. Ziming, Miao Renfeng's motives may not be trustworthy. But I think his words are true. I also agree with his reasoning. If so, why didn't I make preparations in advance? Originally, I just want to assassinate Li Wanyong. But after listening to Miao Renfeng's words, I feel that my burden is a bit heavier. A man must die, and he deserves to die for the country."

"Hey, Hideyoshi, it's easy for you to say. But if we spend the money and the Japanese don't move, wouldn't the money be wasted? People eat horse chews, and it's a waste of money."

Li Xiuji was silent for a moment before saying: "Mr. Ziming, if you really feel embarrassed, I can also find a way by myself. The Japanese will definitely do something, their ambitions have grown to the point where they must do something."

"Forget it, I'll just fool around with you once." Liang Qiduo emphasized again: "I'm only willing to run for you, not because of that Miao Renfeng."

If he let others know, he would run around to raise money if he was fooled with just a few words, and wouldn't he be called a fool behind his back?

"Don't worry, Mr. Ziming, if something happens, I will definitely not confess you."

Historically, after the incident, Li Xiuji did not confess any of his accomplices even though he was forced to confess by words and deeds.
