mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 495
Rachel Kervis suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Needless to say, Zhao Chuanxin seems to be omnipotent.

Son Benjamin Goldberg has become a mystery these days.

She also remembered that every morning and evening, Zhao Chuanxin and Miao Cuihua were on the deck, practicing some kind of exercise with a carefree attitude and extremely difficult posture.

On the other hand, nothing happens.

She suddenly moved closer to her son who was controlling the enchanting lamp, and said in a low voice, "Benjamin, you and your master practiced that dance-like skill, can you teach it to your mother?"

Benjamin Goldberg was distracted and vetoed it directly: "Master said that skills should not be passed on lightly, and should not be passed on indiscriminately."

Rachel Kervis was bitter.

I think she has used a lot of means to deal with men over the years, but now even her own son is disobedient.

Benjamin Goldberg explained again: "My little junior sister said that there are psychological factors in it. It is easy to pass on, but it is faster to lose, so it is worthless. If you want to learn, why not ask your teacher how she feels about practicing the balance technique , and then beg Master to teach you.”

Jianghu said: It is better to give up a piece of gold than a sentence of spring.

Spring is the secrets of Jianghu skills.

At this time, intense gunshots and human screams came from the dense fog.

Although Zhao Chuanxin told everyone to hide, no one left.

They were all on the deck looking forward to it.

Some were worried about their son, some had confidence in Zhao Chuanxin, some were restless, and the rest were purely curious to watch.

The surface of the sea was covered with gray fog, and the blue sky was covered with blue clouds, although nothing could be seen at this time.

But when a bullet hit the steel, there was a crisp "da da" sound, there was a faint light of fire, and even the roar of artillery.

Screams and cursing came together.

You can imagine how intense and chaotic the scene was.

For at most a stick of incense, the sea fell into dead silence, as if even the sea breeze was suffocated by the strange scene.

Samuel Goldberg scratched his heart and said, "Benjamin, close the fog and see how your master is doing, so that nothing happens."

It was hard to say that he was really worried for Zhao Chuanxin, but he was actually more curious.

As soon as he finished speaking, a paper airplane rushed out of the fog and appeared in front of him.

Samuel Goldberg: "It's..."

Immediately, Zhao Chuanxin returned to the deck, stretched out his hand, and the paper airplane landed in his palm.

Only then did Benjamin Goldberg clear the fog.

But seeing the clouds and mists rolling around, it seemed like time was flowing backwards, and he shrank back to the fascination lamp.

Everyone looked again, and none of those boats could stand.

On the surface of the sea, there were countless corpses floating, and the surface of the sea was stained red with blood.

Jiang Bo saw ripples spreading out in the sea of ​​blood, exposing the shark's dorsal fin.

He couldn't bear it anymore, lying on the side of the boat: "Ugh..."

The captain looked at Zhao Chuanxin tremblingly, his teeth chattering a little: "Sir, who the hell are you?"

Zhao Chuanxin held a bunch of bananas in his hand as a trophy, and said to the captain: "I am an ordinary man, a pawn wandering the world.

Don't leave the ink, sail away, and go to the Panama Canal terminal to resupply. "

captain:"……"

……

Panama, a tiny place, also has a history.

Originally, this was a province of Colombia, but after the United States bought the right to dig the Panama Canal from a French company, it changed its mind.

Because the Colombian Congress actually refuted the face of the big brother of the United States, when voting, it unanimously decided not to agree to the construction of the canal by the United States.

This annoyed the eagle sauce.

Yes, they don't do the colonial stuff.

But if you think that if you are not a colony, you can rebel at will, then you are very wrong.

Eagle sauce is playing hegemonic diplomacy, the Monroe Doctrine.

Therefore, the United States immediately came up with two plans.

One is to seize it directly by force, and make Panama a continent of the United States, um, a free state.

The second is to incite the rebellion of pro-American elements in Panama.

In the end, the United States chose the second option.

The turmoil in Panama should be suppressed by Colombian troops.

There were only three warships in total, two of which received Ying Jiang's money, and the other innocent "Bogota" ran to Panama aggressively, firing five shots in a row.

But I didn't hear the movement of my companions, I looked around, I Zhuo, where did the other two warships go?

This frightened him into a cold sweat, and he couldn't stand alone, so he could only turn his head and leave.

So Panama became independent.

Amador, the first president, shouted wildly: "666, we are free today.

Da Luo helped us.

Long live Panama, long live Da Luo..."

The United States has naturally won the permanent lease of the ten-mile wide area of ​​​​the Isthmus of Panama.

The price is an initial payment of US$1000 million, followed by an annual payment of US$25 for the next nine years.

Now, the Panama Canal is still not completed, but there are already traffic lanes.

When Zhao Chuanxin's boat came here, he saw a large number of Chinese, and the construction was in full swing.

The boat docked at the pier, and Zhao Chuanxin landed.

A few tanned Chinese men stopped what they were doing and leaned on their pickaxes to look curiously at them.

They still have yin and yang heads and long braids.

Zhao Chuanxin said to the crowd: "You guys go shopping, I have a few words with these people, let's gather on the boat."

Only Miao Cuihua and Zhao Chuanxin were together.

The others are all Americans. Americans are fathers in Panama at this time, and Zhao Chuanxin is not worried about their safety.

"Wu Na man, where is your hometown?"

The man swallowed, smiled dryly and said, "You are from Enzhou, so you are also from the village. Where is your hometown?"

His accent is very heavy, obviously from Guangdong.

Zhao Chuanxin had never heard of Enzhou. He said cheerfully, "I'm from outside the customs. Have these Panamanians bullied us Chinese?"

The man spat: "That's not true, only the American toothbrush. Panamanians call us Baisano."

Tooth rubbing is their dialect, which means fuck.

Baisano is Spanish and means "old countryman".

Zhao Chuanxin listened wholeheartedly.

Zhao Chuanxin and Miao Cuihua's clothes were either rich or expensive just by the fabric, and seeing that they were approachable, many people gathered around them.

Someone said: "Xiangli, where did you come by boat and where are you going?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I came from New York, the United States, and from here I went to the Pacific Ocean and returned to my country."

As soon as he said he was going back to the country, he saw many people with bitter faces and sighs.

Wandering in a foreign land, it is a lie to say that you don't want to go home.

Someone said: "Just four years ago, there was a Heshan boy who was bombarded to death by a Colombian ship. When he was away from home, there was always time for him to reason."

Everyone takes it for granted.

Zhao Chuanxin asked curiously: "Tell me what's going on?"

When everyone saw a compatriot who seemed to be a good guy, they talked about it in a hurry.

It turned out that on November 1903, 11, Panama rebelled, and Colombia came to suppress it. The only ship that came was the Bogota, which fired five shots.

None of the Panamanian rebels were bombed, except for one Chinese worker who was killed.

The rebels in Panama claimed: This independence is bloodless, except for the death of a Chinese, which is not considered bloodshed.

Therefore, death is in vain.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in foreign countries.

So much so that Zhao Chuanxin felt powerless.

If a Yankee dies here, it is estimated that the United States will not let it go, and take the opportunity to make trouble, and may even severely repair Colombia.

Miao Cuihua was afraid that Zhao Chuanxin would make trouble here, so she took his arm, trying to calm his anger.

However, Zhao Chuanxin just took out the cigarette case and scattered the cigarettes in a circle. There were not enough people, so he took out another box and scattered the cigarettes.

Someone held it under their nose and smelled it: "It's the Camel brand, it's so expensive."

Seeing that many people did not have matches, Zhao Chuanxin took out another box of matches and gave them to them.

Quite a few people use one for light, and they are reluctant to use matches.

There are also people who clip cigarettes to their ears, maybe they don't have this habit, maybe they wait for the right time to smoke.

Zhao Chuanxin himself ordered one and took a sip, not knowing what to say.

Situations are different, neither encouragement nor comfort should be appropriate.

Someone asked Zhao Chuanxin: "You are a rich man, how about the United States? Did you go to the United States and your life would be better?"

"No." Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "In terms of material life, it must be better than here. But there, the Chinese are not respected. If any of you insist on going to the United States, then I advise you to go to New York when the time comes. New Yorkers are now Don’t dare to offend the Chinese.”

In fact, he thinks that Panamanians and Asians look quite alike.

Someone's eyes lit up: "Is it Zhao Chuanxin? The blood flow of Zhao Chuanxin's killing in the United States scared the Yankees."

Miao Cuihua couldn't help but look at Zhao Chuanxin, she understood a little bit now.

In the eyes of some people, the things that Zhao Chuanxin did were doing evil, and even many people in the country thought so.

Moral gentlemen abound.

But his deeds have also given confidence and hope to thousands of overseas compatriots.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and sighed: "I am honored to meet Zhao Chuanxin. He is just like me. He is tall, handsome, suave, cute, well-educated, and brave... He is really the best in the world. Strange man!"

Miao Cuihua: "..."

So, we all have a common topic.

Every sentence is inseparable from Zhao Chuanxin, spitting and tongue dry.

But the veracity of the rumors is a bit off.

"I know Zhao Chuanxin. He is handsome in yellow clothes, has boundless strength, boundless spells, is proficient in eight or nine profound arts, has divine eyes in Que Ting, and holds a three-pointed double-edged sword..."

"I just found out about Zhao Chuanxin. He is clearly not what you said. He has a tiger's mouth, a long Zhun, a graceful appearance, a bee waist and a tiger back, and he is more than eight feet six inches long..."

"Fart, it is rumored that Zhao Chuanxin is a sorcerer who knows Yin, Yang and gossip. He can call wind and rain, just like Zhuge Liang. He holds a feather fan and blows it casually. The American navy mast will be wiped out..."

"You are all wrong. Zhao Chuanxin is compassionate, has the heart of a bodhisattva, and has the skills of a king. He is willing to stand up for his compatriots. He is a first-class hero!"

Zhao Chuanxin's face was full of joy.

Miao Cuihua also smiled: This is because I have listened to too many books, thinking that Zhao Chuanxin is Yang Jian, Qin Shihuang or Zhuge Liang?
It's true that you don't know Mount Tai with eyes, and you don't know each other when you meet.

At this time, someone pointed to the sea and said, "Look, isn't that the Bogota? They dare to come? Don't they want to bomb it again four years later?"

Zhao Chuanxin looked over and saw a ship with white paint on its side and a black bottom, with rows of neat main guns exposed on the side of the ship, but no secondary guns, and it was sailing into the port.

The Panamanian navy sailed over to negotiate, and after a short while, the "Bogota" was released.

There was commotion at the pier.

More than 30 soldiers stepped off the boat, shouting something loudly.

The Chinese next to Zhao Chuanxin could understand Spanish, and his face changed: "It's a Colombian soldier. They are looking for a murderer who killed their soldier. They say it is a Chinese."

Everyone turned their attention to Zhao Chuanxin...
