The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

The matter of being published in the newspaper was not worth mentioning to Li Guangzong at this time.

He found Toad Boy and asked him to let the news go out: "Tell the reporter that our leader wants to speak in the newspaper. If you are interested, come to the headquarters after noon for an interview."

Toad Boy adjusted his glasses and asked politely: "Then which one should I choose?"

Li Guangzong said calmly: "You are so stupid. Are you a child? Why do you still have to choose?"

"Oh...I understand, come all, right?"

…

Australia Island.

The new Governor Rosada has taken office.

The first thing a new official needs to do when he takes office is to make some political achievements, and it only took him two days to become familiar with all the official duties at the Yamenkou.

Rosada is 42 years old, not tall, and looks like a very deep man.

He inherited the adjutant of the previous governor, and at this time the two of them were looking at the map of Australia Island.

Rosada pointed to Jiuao Mountain and said: "Since Zhao Chuanxin said that it was Cixi who ordered him to scuttle our warship. The ship has been irretrievably destroyed. Firstly, we demand compensation for the loss. Secondly, we take the opportunity to scuttle Qingzhou and Taipa." , Coloane, Xiaoqin Island, Jiuao Mountain and the nearby sea areas are all occupied, and they can only swallow Huanglian dumbly. "

This was indeed a suitable time, but the adjutant stammered: "Governor, Zhao Chuanxin has made it clear that we will not be allowed to cross the line. This person is not easy to mess with."

Rosada smiled: "Do you know how Australia came into the hands of Portugal? The relationship between people and countries is complicated. You need to be bolder. No matter how powerful Zhao Chuanxin is, he can't dare to Facing our army of thousands of people."

The adjutant wanted to say something, but after looking at Rosada's determined expression, he had no choice but to ask: "Then when should we start? I suggest that we wait until the storm subsides and Zhao Chuanxin leaves before starting."

Rosada shook her head: "By then, the opportunity has passed. It's today!"

The adjutant opened his mouth wide and asked nonchalantly: "Where to start?"

Rosada pointed at Jiuao Mountain: "From far to near, we will start here. Bring the surveyors and soldiers, and you also take the shotgun. I heard that there are many wild beasts on the island, which I like very much. hunt."

At the foot of Jiuao Mountain.

A group of snot babies came to the woods again, tempting the black-spine apes in the trees with food.

It may be that girls are more attentive and more likely to please the black-spine ape. Xian Yuqing has the best relationship with the black-spine ape who took a photo with her before.

At this time, there was not just one black-spine ape in the tree, but as many as seven or eight.

Xian Yuqing was reading under a tree, and the black-spine ape was behind her helping her catch lice.

"Xian Yuqing, let him play with me for a while."

Xian Yuqing didn't even raise his head: "No."

"Who cares? Wait until I subdue this one and let it fight with yours."

At this moment, all the black-spine apes suddenly became uneasy.

All the black-spine apes suddenly climbed up the tree.

The snot babies looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Human hearing cannot match that of animals. After a while, they heard the rumble of horse hooves.

A group of Portuguese knights came over from a distance, and the dust was flying.

A snot-nosed baby was watching blankly on the road. He was crawling and rolling here. His clothes were dirty and there were a few mud marks on his dark little face.

When a Portuguese soldier on foot approached, he pushed the snotty baby: "Dirty Chinese, get out of here."

Snotlout stumbled and fell, but he was very strong and got up again. He pointed at the Portuguese soldier and said, "If my uncle were here, he would beat you to death."

Xian Yuqing was able to grasp the weight of the baby. She pulled the snotty baby behind her to protect her, and said crisply: "You are an elder, how can you be as knowledgeable as a child?"

The Portuguese soldier sneered disdainfully: "Your uncle? If he were here, I could knock out all his teeth with one punch."

The snotty baby behind Xian Yuqing was angry: "My uncle can knock out your teeth with one finger."

At this time, one person stood out from the rear team.

This man was also riding a horse, and he looked at a group of snot babies.

This group of snot babies were familiar with the black-spine ape. The black-spine ape realized that the children who brought them food were being bullied, so they picked up tree seeds and threw them down, hitting Rosada in the head.

Rosada looked up, expressionlessly took the shotgun from behind, pulled the bolt and aimed at the tree.

The monkeys didn't know the danger at all, and they grinned and made faces downwards.

Xian Yuqing was horrified and hurriedly said: "Don't shoot the black guy!"

Rosada glanced at her, raised the corners of her mouth, and suddenly raised her gun.

boom!

The black-spine ape named Heizai by Xian Yuqing fell down in response.

Hei Zai's expression was painful and dazed, and the other monkeys fled away in fright.

Xian Yuqing hurriedly ran over to check, and when he saw Hei Zai was dying, he even reached out his paw to touch her arm, as if to comfort her.

Xian Yuqing's tears immediately couldn't stop and started to flow.

"Hei Zai, my dad knows medical skills. I'll ask him to save you, just hold on..."

Hei Zai tilted his head and died.

The adjutant was unmoved. A large number of his comrades died in the war. How could he be moved by a monkey?

He also asked: "Governor, do you want to take the prey with you?"

Rosada smiled and shook her head: "Do you think I am one of those dirty and savage black people in Africa? You can't eat the monkeys you bring back."

"That's what the Governor said."

A group of people stopped staying and went up the mountain.

A group of snot-nosed kids were sad and angry.

After they were far away, someone said angrily: "Let's go find uncle!"

"Uncle is not here. I went to his old house in the morning."

"What about that uncle who likes to boast?"

"He's still here."

"Then go find him."

…

Hong Kong Island, afternoon, Xuantian Sect headquarters in Shek O Peninsula.

A group of reporters came after hearing the news, including newspapers of all sizes.

Toad Boy even prepared banners. According to Li Guangzong, the name of this press conference was called a press conference.

The Xuantian Sect's headquarters was built with great style. The newspaper reporters who came here for the first time looked around curiously like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Even the marble steps have to feel the texture and be amazed.

"How much money is this? Xuantian Sect is really rich."

"Did you see those rows of electric lights? Even the Governor's Palace wouldn't dare to be so extravagant."

Entering the venue, the reporter found that there was a long table and the chairs were all made of genuine leather with exquisite patterns.

There is tea and snacks on the table.

"Press conference? That's a good name."

Everyone took their seats.

Zhao Chuanxin was wearing his fairy-like "head attire", with fluttering blue robes.

He came with his hands behind his back and gave him a favor. His long hair was spread casually, and he looked like an immortal.

Hu Xiaoyun, a reporter from "Fu Ren Literary Society Journal" asked others in a low voice: "Is this the famous God of War Zhao Chuanxin?"

"Yes, it should be him."

"You look tall and thin, don't you look like a martial artist?"

"Then I don't know."

Zhao Chuanxin came to the main seat, put down his clothes and sat down.

He said: "I am Zhao Chuanxin."

Just one sentence caused a small commotion.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "The reason why we are here today is because of something Zhao did on Ao Island last night. The origin of the matter was that the Japanese Erchen Maru was smuggling arms and was intercepted by the Guangdong Navy of the Qing Dynasty. Japan They fought back against Portugal and asked the Guangdong Navy to fire cannons to apologize. Everyone must have heard of these things..."

Not only had I heard about it, but the incident of Zhao Chuanxin drilling through the battleship, slapping the Japanese Minister Hayashi Kwonsuke, and angrily cutting the nose of the Portuguese Minister Shirogu was all heard during this period.

He also relied on his influence to get overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia to unite and boycott Japanese goods.

The losses this has caused to the Japanese business community can be said to be shocking.

Moreover, this resistance seems to have no end in sight.

Among these people, the one who was particularly excited was Hu Xiaoyun, a reporter from "Fu Ren Literary Society Journal".

Because the people behind this newspaper were inseparable from Sun Gongwu, it claimed to be a patriotic new learning group, and it had always been at odds with the Qing court.

Zhao Chuanxin continued: "Zhao blocked the firing of cannons to apologize, so Portugal and Japan joined forces to put pressure on the Qing court and threatened to bombard my country's coastal areas. Cixi was frightened, so she paid me to let me continue to drill through Japan. and the Portuguese gunboats staying off the coast..."

At first, Li Guangzong thought that Zhao Chuanxin wanted to clarify the matter in the newspaper.

As a result, this is not a clarification. The gentleman is clearly giving Cixi a hard blow.

Hu Xiaoyun's eyes lit up instantly.

He said: "Then Mr. Zhao must have refused verbally and denounced Cixi for protecting the family and patriotism. How can money be measured?"

Zhao Chuanxin spat: "Bah, do you have a fucking brain? Why shouldn't I not want the money given by that old fellow Cixi? Not only do I want it, but it's too little. How willing she was when she paid reparations to the great powers. .Give me only twenty thousand francs!"

At this moment, the celestial spirit and Taoist temperament were gone.

Hu Xiaoyun was stunned.

A group of reporters were in an uproar.

Hu Xiaoyun: "This, this, doesn't this become a deal?"

In his opinion, for people like Zhao Chuanxin to resist the oppression of foreign powers, this matter should be pure.

"Damn Zhi Zhi, this is a fake reporter. If he raises such stupid questions again, he will be kicked out."

Li Guangzong: "..."

Hu Xiaoyun: "..."

Other reporters were secretly amused.

But Zhao Chuanxin's uprightness made everyone admire him with admiration.

Normally, no one would talk about this kind of behind-the-scenes operation on the table, but Zhao Chuanxin dared to do it.

Zhao Chuanxin continued: "I asked you to come here today just to tell you this. The money was given by Cixi, and the boat was scuttled by Zhao.

In another matter, the Japanese also threatened to bombard coastal areas.

However, I didn't see their ships.

If anyone here is familiar with Japanese high-level officials, please inform the Japanese side and ask them to send ships over quickly.

I, Zhao Chuanxin, took the money and really wanted to do something. "

The reporters burst into laughter.

Someone asked: "Master Zhao, does the boycott of Japanese goods have anything to do with you? Everyone speculates that you planned it."

Zhao Chuanxin slapped the table: "Attention, this is a spontaneous behavior of our people. This represents the awakening of national consciousness and is a signal that we will no longer allow ourselves to be slaughtered by foreign powers."

There was actually a Japanese reporter who said boldly: "Mr. Zhao, don't you think this is an unreasonable behavior? Why does the conflict of interests between the two countries affect Japanese businessmen?"

Zhao Chuanxin smashed the table with a bang, turned around and said fiercely to Toad Boy, who was acting as the secretary: "I have emphasized ten thousand times, our Xuantian Sect's gate must hang a sign - Japanese people and dogs are not allowed. Come in. If you don’t remember again, I’ll break your legs next time!”

Toad Boy wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Master, I remember."

The Japanese reporter's face turned red: "..."

Hurry up, hurry up
