mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 766 Strong? Let me break it and try it

People with depression and low self-esteem are usually more psychologically sensitive than others.

Hu Hansan discovered that although Zhao Chuanxin said these words with a smile, he was 100% sure that Zhao Chuanxin was serious.

His heart trembled.

I remember yesterday, on the way back, his uncle told his father the fate of the horse bandit: cut in half.

He didn't understand what cutting in half meant, so he asked Xiao Ling'e after he went back. Xiao Ling'e told him that cutting in half means cutting a person into two pieces.

Although he didn't see the tragic scene, Hu Hansan could picture the giant ax cutting people in pieces.

He shivered.

The firearms and weapons that Zhao Chuanxin searched and suppressed yesterday were all left to Hu Da and Hu Er.

Zhao Chuanxin added: "Tell your father and your uncle that if you carry a sharp weapon, you will have a murderous intention. Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, otherwise... you will have nightmares."

Hu Hansan: "..."

Why are they just having nightmares when it's their turn?
But when he told Hu Da and Hu Er later, they fell silent.

After Zhao Chuanxin finished speaking, he stepped on the Misty Traveler and ran away.

Hu Hansan still had a lot to say.

There was a bit of disappointment on his face.

In the end, he just shouted at Zhao Chuanxin's back: "Mr. Zhao, you haven't slept with my aunt yet?"

Zhao Chuanxin's body was unstable and he almost fell down.

After the cloak floated up, it was indeed "straight".

When the cloak flows at a low angle, it looks like ordinary fabric.

But once the wind was strong enough to make it form a [-]-degree angle with Zhao Chuanxin's back, it straightened up.

The brown cloak spreads like a bat's wings, cutting the airflow.

When Zhao Chuanxin leaned forward slightly, he felt a strong gravity on his back foot. He didn't know much about fluid mechanics, but it must have been the wind pressure that gave him a downward force. He had to take longer steps to stabilize his body.

But it also makes him feel more stable and won't feel "floating".

When he passed a mound, he would normally fly up to five or six meters before landing, but today he glided for more than 30 meters...

The center of gravity is in the front. Normally, people will roll in the air after taking off.

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed it backwards, because there were two gripping buttons on the back of the cloak. As long as he pulled it down and changed the angle of [-] degrees, it would destroy the "rigid" state, just like a parachute for a ride.

When the "soft and hard" states alternate and the center of gravity is destroyed, Zhao Chuanxin can control his body from rolling.

Previously, in addition to "floating", the reason that restricted his speed was also the problem of wind noise.

After wearing the helmet, the wind noise was reduced to the lowest point, and there was no need to wear diving goggles. The devil's foresight also allowed him to see clearly 300-degree views from front to back, left, and right.

So he could hold the cloak accurately without looking back.

Moreover, this piece of equipment is much more protective than a motorcycle suit.

If you fall, your flesh and blood will definitely not be bruised by friction with the ground, but at a speed that is even more exaggerated than before, your internal organs will be ruptured, bones will be broken, and muscles will be broken...

When passers-by and farmers heaping manure in their fields see him, they will see a brown cloud floating by.

I couldn't take a closer look because it was too fast.

……

Wutai owed Tsarist Russia a large sum of money.

He couldn't afford it at all.

More than 100 years earlier, he had lived a life of overdraft.

The entire land, minerals and livestock of the entire flag were used as collateral for a loan of more than 20 rubles.

This matter was handled by Horvath, the general manager of Tsarist Russia's Dongqing Railway Company, and Daniel, the agent, who went to the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank to handle the matter.

When the loan was about to expire, Utai found Horvat and Daniel again. They were originally very polite to him and always greeted him with a smile.

But when Wutai expressed his desire to postpone loan repayment, something shocking happened to him.

Horvat stroked his well-maintained beard and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, Prince, I cannot comply with your request."

Wu Tai's face didn't look good.

It used to be that you were good to me, everyone was good to everyone, but why has your face changed now?
He looked at Daniel again and said, "Didn't Mr. Daniel say at the beginning that 'easy profit has a long way to go'?"

Unexpectedly, Daniel was even more merciless. He was smiling last time. This time Tu Qiong saw him and stared at Wu Tai and said: "If the prince does not return the money, we will send people and troops to the prince's palace to seize it." industry."

Wutai was speechless.

Only then did I feel the seriousness of the matter.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Horvat blushed and said, "Does the prince remember our diplomat Bakdanav? He visited your mansion four years ago and promised that our Russian court would protect your territory and provide it to you." Will our country help pay for your army’s uniforms?”

Of course Utai remembered that he had just finished a loan of 20 rubles, and Horvath came to visit the next year.

At that time, he also brought many gifts: gold watches, Ning silk, Russian knives, music boxes, etc... They were all rare and precious things.

only……

He was horrified, and still remembered that the Tsarist Russian diplomat Bakdanav said: "I hope that your banner will become our Russian vassal in the future, and unite all the banners to belong to Russia."

At that time, Wutai felt that he had taken advantage. The loan period at that time was four years. Like all people with debts, he felt that although the money was a lot, he had the ability and it didn't matter. Anyway, he would have no problem paying it back in the future. There are four years left.

So, at that time, he readily agreed and promised Bakdanav without any hesitation, patting his chest and promising that he would comply.

However, he really didn't return it...

Seeing that Wutai remained silent, Daniel said: "It's time for the king to fulfill his original promise, so that the king can be granted an extension."

Wutai actually launched a rebellion after the year of [-], and wanted to split with the support of Tsarist Russia.

But now he is not that crazy, but there is cold sweat on his forehead and he is silent.

Horvath, who was pretending to be red-faced, stroked his raised beard again: "Hey, this is going to be difficult."

He looks like he's thinking about you.

Wu Tai suddenly remembered something: "You are interested in Zhao Chuanxin. How about I help you find out about Zhao Chuanxin's whereabouts in exchange for delayed repayment?"

Horvath flicked his fingers and pulled off two beards.

"You have any dealings with him?"

"I have no contact, but I was the leader of the Zheli-Mu League. I have connections with the Mongolian Affairs Bureau and can also gain access to Xu Shichang's house. As far as I know, Xu Shichang and Zhao Chuanxin have some entanglements. Maybe I can find out something. .”

Wutai's idea was to use Zhao Chuanxin to delay it for a while.

But he really wanted to go to the Mongolian Affairs Bureau, because he could not pay the money, and the land and resources in the banner could not be lost. At this time, he could not agree to the requirements of Tsarist Russia, so he had to think about it in the long term.

Horvath and Daniel looked at each other.

Zhao Chuanxin also had an impact on them, but the impact was not as great as on the South Manchuria Railway, which was within the Japanese sphere of influence.

Who allowed the Nanman-Manchuria Railway to be within the scope of Lugang Town!

They were interested because diplomat Bakdanav was interested, and the country was more interested in killing Zhao Chuanxin.

These things are nothing more than an exchange of interests.

So Horvath said: "I hope the county king can find out some useful information, otherwise it will be very difficult."

Wutai didn't have the courage to lift the table.

This happened many days ago.

On the way back, Wu Tai felt filled with regret.

He showed the debtor's internal friction vividly.

While riding in the sedan chair, he would occasionally smash the wooden board to vent his anger.

He was angry with Bakdanav, Horvat and Daniel, angry with himself, angry with the court, and at the same time a little angry with Zhao Chuanxin.

Although this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Chuanxin, he was so angry that he was angry with just one more person.

Why are you angry with the court?
A large part of the reason why he was in debt was to "offer" to the court and please Lafayette.

In the end, the position of deputy alliance leader was eliminated, and now everyone doesn't like him very much, and he still owes a lot of debt.

Sometimes, Wutai really wanted to yell and vent his anger, but he couldn't because of his face, so he could only express his anger by smashing and throwing.

He pretended to be passing through the Mongolian Affairs Bureau of the three provinces outside the customs, and by the way found Zhu Qiqian, the supervisor of the Mongolian Affairs Bureau.

Pushing the cup to change the cup, when the wine is full of wine and the ears are hot, he vomits his bitterness: "Hey, Guixin, you don't know something. Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite..."

Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. This sentence is what Jia Baoyu's mother said in "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Apparently this prince also read "The Red Mansion".

Zhu Qiqian hesitated for a moment, a little reluctant to answer.

But in the end, he asked politely to save face.

As a result, Wutai got out of hand and talked about his loan incessantly.

Of course, it is inevitable to cover up one's motives and at the same time illustrate the ugly face of Tsarist Russia.

Zhu Qiqian was shocked when he heard that it was more than 20 rubles. This matter involves resources and land, and has risen to the national level.

He kindly reminded: "The prince should immediately seek instructions from the court and take the initiative to apologize, otherwise he will be severely punished."

Wutai instinctively wanted to refuse.

Just like all people who are heavily in debt, they are unwilling to tell their relatives and friends, especially their parents, that they owe huge debts.

Only when everyone is deeply in debt can they tell each other their sorrows - you see, this means that it is not my problem, the world is like this.

But looking at Zhu Qiqian's serious expression, Wu Tai knew that even if he didn't take the initiative to ask for instructions, Zhu Qiqian would definitely report the matter.

This made him feel relieved, as if he had found an excuse to be strong for his cowardice.

Then Wu Tai took advantage of the situation and cursed Zhao Chuanxin: "This matter is also the fault of the man named Zhao. If he hadn't been at odds with Russia, how could he have made things difficult for me?"

Zhu Qiqian: "..."

Zhu Qiqian was a man who could see right from wrong. After Japan invaded China in the future, he refused to participate in the enemy's and puppet's political power. He has been dealing with the enemy and puppet, with integrity and knowing right from wrong.

He felt that Wu Tai must be crazy. He could still blame Zhao Chuanxin. There really was no one to blame, right?

Seeing that he didn't answer, Wu Tai continued: "I heard that Zhao Chuanxin is not dead, and is still running around doing evil on the grassland. Why didn't the Japanese blow up this scourge earlier this year?"

Zhu Qiqian: "..."

Awkward yet polite smile.

Wu Tai blushed and slapped the table: "How can Governor Xu associate with such people?"

Zhu Qiqian couldn't help but say: "As far as I know, Governor Xu and Zhao Chuanxin have never met."

"Um?" Wu Tai was a little confused: "Why are there rumors that Governor Xu and Zhao Chuanxin know each other?"

"It's just spreading rumors."

Seeing how attracted Wu Tai was, Zhu Qiqian didn't respond and simply asked directly: "Yi Guixin, what about Zhao Chuanxin?"

"Regain the lost territory in Ao Island and Hankou, and defend the Japanese in Yanbian. As Zhao Tanggong himself said, dignity can only be obtained by the edge of the sword, forcing the great powers not to dare to blunt its edge. In terms of means, I dare not be violent or excessive. I agree; in terms of results, he has integrity and cares about the territory; in terms of deeds, he disregards the laws of the country and deceives the emperor, which is a capital crime."

Zhu Qiqian did not come to a conclusion.

Different people have different understandings.

Wu Tai said: "Yes, you disregarded the laws of the country and dared to bombard the Forbidden City. You are so audacious. Your crime deserves death. Killing him at the entrance of the vegetable market is light. His merits and demerits cannot be offset. This person will not die well. Guixin, you Tell me, will Zhao Chuanxin come here to do evil?"

Just as Zhu Qiqian was about to speak, a follower rushed into the private room and said a few words to him.

Zhu Qiqian's expression changed drastically.

After the entourage left, Zhu Qiqian asked: "Prince, can there be a new school in the flag and hire Japanese teachers?"

"No."

Wutai shook his head.

His territory is located in the north and can be regarded as the "territory" of Tsarist Russia.

Furthermore, since he was close to Tsarist Russia, he naturally had to alienate himself from the Japanese.

He asked, "What?"

Zhu Qiqian took a deep breath: "Zhao Chuanxin...he is here."

There was a loud noise of ping-pong-pong.

It turned out that Wutai stood up suddenly, overturned the chair, and also overturned the bowl, chopsticks and a dinner plate.

Wu Tai's red face turned pale with fright: "Are you coming to the restaurant?"

When Zhu Qiqian saw him like this, he was very happy.

What are you feeling guilty about?

This is what happens when you speak ill of someone behind their back.

He said: "Zhao Chuanxin preceded KLQQ, beheaded King Gong's right ear, beheaded several Japanese teachers, returned to Ahwang Banner, beheaded one Japanese teacher, and more than ten horse bandits, came all the way east with great momentum. Ah Wang Chuan sent telegrams to all banners to warn that Japanese practitioners should be deported immediately, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable. In addition, tit-for-tat confrontation with Zhao Chuanxin must not be allowed..."

Wutai: "..."

He thought about it carefully. If Zhao Chuanxin targeted the Japanese this time, it would be nothing to him.

Thinking that he was safe and sound, Wu Tai could not help but gloat: "Of course there are no Japanese in my banner, but there are some in King Qi's place."

The king of Qi is the auxiliary Duke of Zasak in the front banner of Gol-Russ - Qimo Mupil.

After all, Taoke Taohu's rebellion has something to do with Zimmer's special Mupil.

At that time, Taoke Taohu approached the palace on behalf of the herdsmen and wanted to ask Zimmer Mupil not to release it for cultivation, but he was severely beaten. He resented it and refused directly.

During the Puppet-Manchu period, Zimmer Mupil was bent on following Puyi's restoration.

Zhu Qiqian was speechless: Are you so happy that King Qi has a Japanese teacher?
The meal was finally over.

And Amullingwe did send telegram notifications to various Mongolian banners.

He thought very clearly that Zhao Chuanxin's purpose was not to kill people, but to warn Zhuqi not to collude with the Japanese.

Therefore, he informed the banners that essentially no one was offended.

But he was still worried about angering Zhao Chuanxin, so he rubbed oil on his feet as soon as he finished the notice and sneaked back to the capital first.

……

Xi'an County is not Xi'an in Shaanxi.

Xi'an County Government Office is located in Dageda Mountain.

After the county magistrate Guiliang took office, he called on local businessmen to donate money and built four gates for the county, namely Dongji, Xining, Nankang and Beishoumen.

At this time, Guiliang was outside Nankang Gate, riding a sedan chair to the south along the river.

Because the Japanese had set up agencies near the Liaohe River, he wanted to come and issue an order to expel guests.

Arriving at Japan's unremarkable agency, Guiliang got off the sedan chair, looked at the surveying and mapping personnel coming in and out with his hands behind his back, and said solemnly: "You private agencies, I have reported it to Governor Xu."

Idogawa Tatsuzo was arranging his tools. He looked up at the county man and raised his eyebrows and said, "So what?"

Guiliang was so angry that he said, "This is the boundary of our Qing Dynasty. Why are you surveying and mapping everywhere?"

"Haha, building roads or railways, no matter what you do, you need to do surveying and mapping. We, the Yamato people, always do things in an orderly manner, so we have to prepare in advance." Idogawa Tatsuzo said with a sneer.

Guiliang was furious: "Prepare in advance? Do you think that Xi'an County will belong to Japan? I will definitely recommend Governor Xu to send a note to your Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest this matter."

Idogawa Tatsuzo straightened up. He was not as tall as Takaharu, but Takaharu was a little hunched over, but he had a straight back, which made him even more imposing.

He pinched his waist, wrinkled his nose, looked disdainfully, and said in a long nasal voice: "Protest, protest, you support that person, he will never be able to protest again. What do we Japanese have to fear?"

The word "Zhi-Na" originally comes from Sanskrit. It is a name used by Indians to call Chinese people. It has no praise or blame attributes.

It became a derogatory term when an encyclopedia dictionary published in the Netherlands in 01 described the word as an insulting title. When it came to the Japanese, it began to be used to describe stupid Chinese people.

Guiliang pointed at Idogawa Tatsuzo, his fingers trembling with anger: "You, you, you are indeed a barbarian country, and your words are vulgar..."

Idogawa Tatsuzo pinched his waist and raised his head and laughed: "If nothing happens, please don't hinder our work. If you want to protest, please feel free to do so."

It seemed that the angrier Guira got, the happier he became.

But Guiliang could only criticize him verbally, but he didn't even dare to touch him, which made him even more proud.

Guiliang was trembling with anger: "You are arrogant, you are really arrogant. Governor Xu has replied to me. If you don't leave, the matter will be resolved in the near future. It depends on how you end it."

Without Zhao Chuanxin, Xu Shichang would have had no choice but to report to the imperial court the Japanese who were surveying and colluding with the Mongolian flag.

As for Cixi and her group, they only want to please their allies, and even if they protest, there is nothing they can do.

How aggrieved and aggrieved.

"Bah..." Idogawa Tatsuzo spat disdainfully at Guiliang's feet: "What can you do to me?"

Guiliang took a step back and clenched his fists: "You colluded with Meng Qi, do you think I don't know about it? Just wait, you will have retribution."

"Retribution? God has favored our Japanese Empire. Every time for more than a hundred years, danger has been saved, but retribution has come to you. Mr. County Magistrate, you are old and poor, how much money can you greed for? I advise you to mind your own business. On the contrary, I, Young and strong, look at these arms, they are strong and strong; look at these legs, they can travel across mountains and rivers..."

Idogawa Tatsuzo slapped his arms and thighs, deliberately irritating Guiliang.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice interrupting him: "Oh? Come on, Kangkang, why are your arms and legs so strong?"

Guiliang was stunned.

Idogawa Tatsumi was stunned.

The other Japanese people also followed the news and left.

I saw a tall man, wearing a set of gleaming armor, with a long cloak trailing behind him, walking steadily from the morning light.

The armor's chest and shoulders are very thick, making this person's already strong body look even more exaggerated. The so-called arm that can run a horse, and the fist that can stand a person, is how to describe this kind of person.

However, let alone there is no pure cold weapon battlefield at this time, no one knows how to wear armor. Even if there were still, how could there be a fool wearing shining armor? Doesn't it attract firepower?
The mountains around Xi'an County are not high, and the red leaves are like fire, and the layers of forests are dyed.

The west wind blows slightly and the sun is just right.

This person's expression is like the weather here and now, with a smile on his face that reflects the semi-humid mid-temperate continental monsoon climate.

His expression and tone made him sound like an unconvinced child.

As he got closer, Zhao Chuanxin looked Idogawa Tatsuzo up and down: "Hey...it doesn't look very strong. Let me try to break it off!"
