mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 920: Waiting for the feather to ascend, I invite you all to a feast
Xingyue said: "I have tested it, and there is almost no sound-absorbing cold iron ore in the mine except what is in front of me."

Zhao Chuanxin was worried: "Is it enough?"

Xingyue said: "Originally I planned to replace all your weapons, but now I only have enough to build the Xingyue M1909 and one Lugang M1907. The rest will be used to build cars. If there is any left, I will replace the Goldberg M1907 first."

Zhao Chuanxin used the Old God Crucible to brand the refining ore, and the impurities were precipitated, but the sound-absorbing cold iron itself remained unchanged and felt cold to the touch.

The stars and the moon come on stage.

Xingyue relied on metal methods to solidify the remaining sound-absorbing cold iron into metal blocks and precipitate the last impurities.

Zhao Chuanxin and Xingyue formed an assembly line to cooperate, and before daylight, all the ores were smelted into iron blocks.

Xingyue grew the parts according to the specifications of the previous design drawings, and Zhao Chuanxin used red birch wood to make the gun stock.

Xingyue only uses sound-absorbing cold iron to cast parts that require high temperature resistance, such as the air refueling system, gun barrel and silencer, as well as precision parts that are prone to thermal expansion and contraction that affect performance.

The casting of the silencer is particularly particular.

"Haha, the rules are for you ordinary members, I am not one of them." Zhao Chuanxin picked up the bullet casing on the ground, pinched it with his thumb and middle finger, and popped it out.

In terms of Zhao Chuanxin's strength and endurance, he can no longer be considered a human being.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled faintly: "As far as I'm concerned, picking up flowers and flying leaves can hurt people, so what does it matter if I carry a gun or not?"

This is the king of pistols who outshines the rest!

Vincent Dunetang's eyes widened.

But in later generations, there really were silencers that made pistols and rifles sound like toy guns.

Vincent d'Anetan was breathless.

With an ordinary silencer, the sound is still loud when firing, but it just doesn't carry it very far.

It turns out that this is the Butcher of the Far East.

The silencer relies on a series of obstacles to slow down the release of gas from the gun barrel.

The top-heavy modified Lugang M1907 in his hand felt similar to the weight that an ordinary person would feel holding a pocket pistol.

Even the famous Osprey muffler is like this.

clang……

The water glass fell into pieces.

The elastic base is also made of sound-absorbing cold iron. It is neither a stamped spot welded part nor a machined part. It is considered to be one-piece molding.

He swallowed and asked, "Mr. Zhao, why are you carrying a gun?"

Zhao Chuanxin put on his glasses, installed the parts according to Xingyue's instructions, put on the butt of the gun, pulled the bolt, and looked at the opened ejection hole. He continued to pull the bolt, and he could vaguely hear the sound of the roller on the top of the tail iron of the machine frame moving in the guide groove of the strum rod.

However, Zhao Chuanxin miscalculated this time, because the sound-absorbing cold iron has a micro-filter shock effect, and the sound is so small that it is almost inaudible.

The sound is too small to be heard.

He carefully checked the safety and magazine of the pistol. Guns are no joke. Ordinary people may die due to malfunctions during combat.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly took out a 9mm Parabellum bullet, loaded it into the magazine, and loaded the gun.

He had never heard of this kind of weapon.

The shell casing hit the water glass on the table.

Zhao Chuanxin opened the door, and Vincent Danetang was startled when he saw Zhao Chuanxin holding a gun.

"..." Vincent Danetang emphasized: "Mr. Zhao, the Arms Limitation Committee does not allow guns."

The modified Lugang M1907 spun around in his fingers and disappeared.

An experienced hand can tell the malfunction of a firearm by the sound.

Zhao Chuanxin said nothing, but waved him in.

He fired at the sofa.

This is somewhat top-heavy.

He was holding a light machine gun with an additional magazine, which was at most equivalent to a strong man holding a semi-automatic rifle.

He put away the Xingyue M1909 light machine, held the Lugang M1907 empty machine, pulled the trigger, and listened softly in his ear.

Zhao Chuanxin washed up, went to have breakfast with him, and then went to the Arms Limitation Committee to prepare to join the meeting.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

...

There is a detachable bracket on the front, and Zhao Chuanxin's strength is enough for him to easily hold the gun and draw fire, even with a hundred rounds of bullets and metal bullet boxes. But you can also find a position and use the stand to save energy and shoot.

Wilhelmina was awakened by a knock on the door
Since she had a child, her nerves have become sharper, and any disturbance related to the child will wake her up.

Vincent Danetang found it quite shocking.

The visitors are Margot and Juliana.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "A mature man must carry many guns with him at all times. When a man goes out, he must learn to protect himself."

The Lugang M1907 manufactured by Xingyue has been slightly modified, mainly at the muzzle. The silencer is integrated with the gun body.

Juliana woke up in high spirits.

"Eat, I want to eat..."

After she could speak, Juliana no longer cried to express her wishes.

Margot handed the child to Wilhelmina.

Then she sniffed: "Huh? There seems to be a familiar smell..."

Then he looked at Wilhelmina suspiciously.

"Oh, Margot, go and open the window to let the air circulate."

When Margot went to open the window, she found many suspicious clues.

She remained calm and suddenly asked Wilhelmina: "Your Majesty, do you want to resume your relationship with Hendrick?"

"Oh, of course not." Wilhelmina said while breastfeeding: "Margot, you have to know that my mother Emma chose three people as my husband-in-law. The royal family is not qualified to choose men by themselves. Not everyone is willing. To be the prince’s husband, only two came. One is Friedrich Wilhelm, and the other is Hendrik. Do you know why I chose Hendrik?”

Margot's eyes widened. She was very willing to listen to royal gossip: "Because Hendrick is handsome?"

"Haha, his big face can't be called handsome." Wilhelmina teased: "Just because we met when we were children, I felt more familiar with him, so I chose him. Anyway, I only had two choices. The reason I didn't cry was that I was the only child of the Orange-Nassau family and I had to carry on the family line. That was my responsibility, so I issued a decree that the child would have my surname Orange after birth, which made Hendrick very happy. dissatisfied."

"Then there's no emotion between you two?"

Wilhelmina nodded: "At first, I wanted to cultivate feelings. But you know Hendrick to a certain extent. He knocked on the door and had a gap in his heart, but he was very conceited. My mother thinks that he should be given an honorary appointment in the army, and I agree. Not satisfied yet, he tried every means to get into the Council of State. But it turned out that he was not the right person, because people always came to me to complain, so I kicked him out of the Council of State. I want to eat meat, but all I eat is beans.

He just complained about me.

We also have great differences in religion. It would be fine if he was an infidel, but he is not.

And then, you know, I wanted to have kids and make do with life.

But I couldn't even get this hope and had two miscarriages. Doctors told me I might never have another child.

Hendrik didn't have any feelings for me either.

He was empty inside, so he went out to keep a mistress named Mi En, and he also had an illegitimate child, but he could have had one outside.

He thought I didn't know and I just turned a blind eye.

But now that I have a child and someone I love, I can no longer tolerate him.

I hope we can have a good time together. I will give him a sum of money and let him take Meen and the child away, or he can stay in the Netherlands. "

This greatly satisfied Margot's curiosity.

She was about to speak when the phone rang.

Margot picked it up with a smile on her face.

But as she listened, she couldn't laugh anymore.

After hanging up the phone, she said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's too bad. Hendrick has revealed Juliana's affairs."

Wilhelmina turned pale.

Although she was also ready to make it public, revealing it to herself and revealing it to others were two different things.

Now she has gone from active to passive.

The meaning is very different.

"Mom, don't be afraid." Juliana stretched out her little hand and gently touched her mother's face.

Wilhelmina came back to her senses, glanced down at Juliana, and then thought of Zhao Chuanxin. Miraculously, her somewhat panicked mind immediately became stable.

"Mom is not afraid."

Wilhelmina took a deep breath: "Margot, please watch Julianna for me. I'm very busy. Damn Hendrick, he can do this kind of clever thing."

...

Lubin is six hours faster than The Hague.

At this time, Lubin Mansion was celebrating.

Yao Jia has grown a beard, and he is considered tall at this time.

His aesthetics were getting closer to Zhao Chuanxin's, and the weather wasn't too cold, so he only wore a woolen coat with three layers inside and three outside, a three-piece suit, vest, and shirt.

He was wearing a top hat and holding a civilized stick.

Zhao Chuanxin's face is somewhat similar to Yao Jia's, and even though both of them have beards, they look a bit alike.

He took the stage and said to the crowded Han, Banner and Russian people below: "Tomorrow is the feast of St. Nicholas. For you, today is just like New Year's Eve. The prefect respects your festivals and specially appointed me to preside over the celebration. …”

At various commanding heights around, the joint tiger hunting teams were already in place.

Nobuzumi Aoki looked with a telescope from a distance.

The sniper next to him asked: "Is that Zhao Chuanxin?"

Nobuzumi Aoki took out a hand-painted portrait, looked at the telescope, and then looked at the portrait. He frowned: "The person who painted the painting is not very good at craftsmanship, and his face is slightly different, but I guess it must be Zhao Chuanxin. I didn't expect that I would compare the paintings." He is even more handsome, but his face is about to be smashed."

"Would you like to send a signal?"

Nobuzumi Aoki's nervous palms were sweating and he couldn't hold the telescope.

He said: "Wait a minute, let me confirm again."

"You've said that three times."

"..." Aoki Xuanzhun gritted his teeth: "Okay then, send the signal!"

Zrr…

A burst of fire shot into the sky.

The fire attracted the attention of many people, but most of them did not take it seriously. After all, today is a holiday, and it is normal for someone to set off fireworks.

But the patrol officers who maintained law and order were different. Hu Er personally led the team today, and he immediately issued an order: "Go and see what's going on."

Yao Jia has already walked off the stage.

And little Ling'e started dancing.

She half-hides her face and wears a Ba-erhu small-sleeved red robe with turquoise, onyx and silver ornaments. Like a gust of wind, her hands are soft, her shoulders are shaking, her steps are broken, and her waist twists with the drumbeat, making her graceful and graceful.

In the audience, Tang Qunying was beaming with excitement. He couldn't help but move a few times and praised repeatedly: "Good!"

Jiang Jian coughed and said, "Xitao, your waist is harder than the backstage of the General Office of the Bureau of Government and Merchandising, so don't twist it."

Tang Qunying's eyebrows stood up when he heard this: "Nonsense! I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have a flexible body. Even today I carry a dagger with me."

Jiang Jian chuckled softly.

While they were bickering, they suddenly saw Yao Jia staggering as she walked down the stage, her shoulder bleeding.

Immediately, another bloody hole appeared on his thigh.

Then came: Bang, bang. Two gunshots were fired.

The little Ling'e on the stage stopped dancing, and the audience was in chaos.

Even though Tang Qunying was usually good at boxing and always liked to antagonize men and women, at this time she was not inferior to men. She widened her eyes and turned around to push Jiang Jian: "Hide quickly, bullets have no eyes."

Jiang Jian is indeed afraid, but he is not a martial artist.

But he still asked with concern: "You won't come with me?"

"I'm going to save General Manager Yao."

Jiang Jian gritted his teeth: "Let's go together."

At this time, sawdust flew from the wooden boards of the stage.

boom.

Tang Qunying's body trembled, but she kept walking.

"The shooter is within a mile, the bullets come before the sound," she shouted.

The words just fell.

boom.

At the same time the board was cracked.

"The shooter was a mile away."

The initial speed of the bullet is fast. Within about 600 meters, the bullet arrives first and the sound follows.

Over six hundred meters, bullets and sounds arrived at the same time.

If the bullet can fly more than 900 meters, the sound usually arrives first and the bullet comes later.

Jiang Jian couldn't laugh or cry: "Stop, what if there is an assassin nearby? Let Director Hu and the others worry about the assassin."

What is one mile inside and one mile away? Who can hit the target one mile away? Isn’t this nonsense!

Little Ling'e on the stage was also very scared, but she had a strong spirit. At this time, she braved the hail of bullets and rushed over to drag the injured and whining Yao Jia off the stage.

boom.

Xiao Ling'e's left arm shook, and blood immediately seeped out of the red robe.

Tang Qunying and Jiang Jian only felt their scalps numb.

Immediately, the front, rear and left sides of the stage were attacked one after another.

Gunshots seemed to come from all directions. No one could figure out where they were or how many enemies there were.

Jiang Jian grabbed Tang Qunying and said, "Xitao, we can't go."

Tang Qunying stamped his feet and could only retreat to avoid it.

Within a hundred meters, the gun is fast. A few hundred meters away, the gun is still fast. Even if she has practiced it.

Yao Jia seemed to be unlucky. Except for the first two shots, the other bullets bypassed him as if they had eyes.

And it seemed that the gunman was getting more and more panicked, and the bullets were hitting more and more missed shots.

Little Ling'e's skin was only scratched by the bullet. Her eyes were red and she struggled to drag Yao Jia off the stage.

In the distance, Hu Er saw his sister standing under the dangerous wall and was extremely anxious.

But he couldn't go there because he had to catch the murderer as soon as possible.

I could only say with tears in my eyes: "Send two people to rescue my sister, and I will lead others to catch the assassin."

After saying that, he got on his horse and led the people to run towards the place where the gunshots were most intensive.

Damn it, I'm going to beat the shit out of you today!

On the bell tower, a Japanese soldier and a Russian soldier took out their pistols and fired at the patrolman who had just appeared.

The patrolman was shot and fell to the ground, and the people behind him retreated suddenly.

Hu Er was unmoved and waited with the Juanwang M1908.

Among them, the Japanese soldier looked down, and Hu Er immediately pulled the trigger.

boom.

The Japanese soldier was shot in the eye socket and died.

Hu Er put down his gun and said: "There is only one person up there. You guys block here and don't let the assassin escape. The rest will follow me."

But as soon as he got on his horse, he didn't go far when a gunshot was heard.

Hu Er's horse was shot in the crotch and ran around like crazy. He fell down and vomited blood after running a few steps.

Hu Er was thrown away and rolled three times on the ground.

"Alert, alert immediately!"

Because the assassins dispersed, occupied high ground, and shot from extremely long distances, the patrol officers really had nothing to do with them.

Hu Er shouted from behind the bunker: "Champion Hou, you ride on horseback and call the Gray Ax Army. The assassins are sharpshooters."

Many people in Ba-erhu have Han surnames, and crown surnames are more common. This person's name was very big, and he was called Champion Hou.

The champion took the order and mounted the horse regardless of the danger. He leaned to the left side of the horse's back and hugged the horse's neck tightly before galloping.

boom.

The shot missed and hit the ground behind him.

Prairie people, especially men who can be recruited into the Gray Ax Army and the Patrol Bureau, are outstanding in their riding skills.

On the other side, Yao Jia watched miserably as Xiao Ling'e sweated while working.

It was so cold that it was difficult for her.

"Xiao Ling'e, it turns out that you are so beautiful. I was blind and didn't notice it before. How is your arm? Is it something serious?"

"No problem." Xiao Ling'e was confused, wiping her tears and laughing: "General Manager Yao, are you still glib at this time?"

Yao Jia's face turned pale due to excessive blood loss.

The two of them had hid in a safe place under the stage.

Yao Jia bared her teeth and smiled: "Anyway, I never do heavy work, so my arms and legs will be useless. You saved my life. Such kindness can only be repaid by marrying you home and raising you as my little ancestor."

Xiao Ling'e blushed: "General Manager Yao, don't talk nonsense, I already have a sweetheart."

"Harm, isn't he the prefect?" Yao Jia disagreed: "You don't know, right? He has an album full of photos, and any one of them picked out is the most beautiful woman in the world. I saw it Your photo, do you know what this means?”

Xiao Ling'e was thinking wildly and her face turned redder: "I don't know."

"He only takes pictures of women who have nothing to do with him. You being on the book means that he doesn't want to have anything to do with you. None of his confidantes are on it."

Xiao Ling'e's face turned pale: "How could this happen..."

"Haha..." Yao Jia laughed happily: "Ahem..."

"General Manager Yao, are you okay?"

"I may be dying. Even if I am a ghost, I, Yao Shijie, will still be charming. Let me ask you, will you marry me?"

Xiao Ling'e panicked.

She was stained with Yao Jia's blood, and looking at Yao Jia's miserable state, she quickly said: "Okay, okay, I only agreed to see you like this. If you are healthy..."

Yao Jia immediately changed the subject: "Kangjian, what is Kangjian? Look, I'm about to die."

"..."

However, two patrol policemen arrived and used a simple stretcher to protect little Ling'e and carry Yao Jia to evacuate.

……

Zhao Chuanxin was in the Arms Limitation Committee and did not know what was happening in the country.

He also didn't know that the people in The Hague were furious because the queen had an illegitimate daughter.

Witnessed by many committee members, Zhao Chuanxin swore on a copy of the Tao Te Ching: "We live in a turbulent world. I hereby solemnly swear that I will do my best to abide by and defend world peace and restrict countries. Arms development, production, stockpiling, proliferation and use…”

After Zhao Chuanxin finished speaking according to the script, he let go of his hand.

Today, the most important members of the Arms Limitation Committee are present.

Belenat said to Zhao Chuanxin with a serious face: "Zhao Chuanxin, you have been sworn in as a permanent member. Therefore, in the future, you must not kill people without reason or destroy peace."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded like a fool: "Yeah, no problem. I will definitely not kill people without reason."

Belenat felt something was wrong: "Today, in front of everyone, you have to promise us that you will not brazenly break into other countries again, burn, kill and loot."

"Well, that's not my character. I advocate peace now." Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully.

"You have sworn an oath to the Tao Te Ching, and you must abide by your oath, otherwise it will be a blasphemy to the Tao Te Ching in your hand."

Zhao Chuanxin laughed out loud.

Normally, they all swear an oath according to the Bible, but Zhao Chuanxin declared that his belief is Taoism.

What is Taoism?

Those who seek immortality should not teach the Dharma lightly.

Other religions accept a wide range of followers, but Taoism is whether you like it or not, and it just doesn’t want to pay attention to you. Wouldn’t it be good if fewer people practice it?
Other religions are hypocritical and always use the banner of "God loves the world" to deceive and even start wars.

What about Taoism? Don't bother me, I just want to be alone. Come and bother me and I will reason with you. If it doesn't make sense, that's fine. In addition to cultivating immortality, I am also proficient in fists and feet.

Take an oath to the Tao Te Ching? Blaspheming the Tao Te Ching?
The Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty said: You can do whatever you want. Who cares whether you are blaspheming or not? Whether you can cultivate and grow is your own problem and has nothing to do with me.

Zhao Chuanxin blinked and said, "That's not possible. The Tao Te Ching's status in my heart is no less than the Bible's status in everyone's hearts. We have reached the same goal through different paths. When one day I become an immortal and ascend, I invite you all to come and have a feast."

Something is wrong, 12 out of 10 something is wrong.

But Bernat couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Zhao Chuanxin sat down and held a meeting with them.

The content of the meeting was nothing more than the Pacific and Far East issues.

The Arms Limitation Commission looks like a joke to Zhao Chuanxin, a vat of emphasis and contradiction rather than an institution for weak countries.

Zhao Chuanxin was impatient, so he interrupted and said, "I have a plan."

The British Commissioner Floss Feng frowned because he interrupted his speech and asked: "What are your plans?"

You just joined, do you have any say?
But due to Zhao Chuanxin's extremely high force value, he still had to give him some face.

Zhao Chuanxin said seriously: "Now the situation in the Far East is in danger. Tsarist Russia and Japan are in constant conflict, and the United States intends to get involved. The great powers are restless and want to get an extra piece of the cake. I am very worried, worried that they will fight, worried that Japan and Russia are in Sakha Lin Dao was fighting for territory and would fire on each other in the Bologna Valley. I was so worried that I could hardly sleep at night."

Dutch Commissioner Jason Weir coughed and asked: "Zhao, what exactly do you want to say?"

Zhao Chuanxin slammed the table.

bang...

Everyone trembled.

Zhao Chuanxin was heartbroken and said loudly: "I can't bear to see the lives of people in ruins! I want to apply for the establishment of a peacekeeping bureau in the disputed areas of the Far East. I want to bring peace to the Far East!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Floss Feng said with a stern face: "Zhao, your idea is good, but we don't have that much financial resources to support the operation of the Peacekeeping Bureau."

Zhao Chuanxin said solemnly: "For the sake of world peace, what if I, Zhao Chuanxin, pay out of my own pocket?"

"This……"

They had known for a long time that Zhao Chuanxin had taken it upon himself to set up a peacekeeping bureau in the name of the Arms Limitation Committee, but now they were just pretending not to know.

But Zhao Chuanxin openly proposed that as long as it is passed, the Peacekeeping Bureau will really have contact with the Arms Limitation Committee.

They were worried that Zhao Chuanxian would act recklessly.
