The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Idogawa Tatsuzo was furious: "Baga, I advise you not to do anything."

"Don't listen to advice!" Zhao Chuanxin smiled, still approaching in the morning light.

Idogawa Tatsuzo: "..."

He felt a little wary.

This man looked like a street rogue. Although the armor was weird, from ancient times to the present, only ordinary people could afford it.

He took a step back: "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "Don't say it, don't say it, these little arms and legs are really unique."

The style of painting suddenly changes, and the steps in the leisurely courtyard suddenly become as fast as sparks of fire.

Idogawa Tatsumi wanted to retreat, but before he could take a step back, Zhao Chuanxin was already seven or eight meters away.

Idogawa Tatsuzo was shocked. He had never seen a creature that started so fast...

Not only did Zhao Chuanxin arrive, he even went around behind Idogawa Tatsumi and stepped on his heels, forcing him to be unable to retreat.

Zhao Chuanxin pulled Idogawa Tatsuzo's left shoulder, grabbed his right arm, wrapped it backwards, and twisted it.

Gaba...

"Ouch..."

Guiliang's eyelids twitched wildly across from him.

It was the first time in his life that he saw a living person's arm being torn off forcibly. It was really exciting...

Idogawa Tatsuzo heard the man behind his ear say: "Hey...the arms of the Yamato people are quite fragile?"

Even though Idogawa Tatsuzo was yelling, his voice was still clear to his ears.

While Zhao Chuanxin grabbed Idogawa Tatsuzo's other arm, he also put the helmet on his head.

Guiliang was startled again.

Because after putting on the helmet, Zhao Chuanxin looked like a monster with a human body and an insect head.

Especially the two big eyes, which look like dragonflies.

After putting on his helmet, Zhao Chuanxin saw a Japanese man behind him rushing over with a pickaxe and trying to dig the back of his head.

Zhao Chuanxin pulled Idogawa Tatsuzo's left arm with his right hand, pressed the top of his head with his right hand, used it as support, and kicked out with a swinging leg.

Click...

Boom...boom...

The Japanese man holding a pickaxe had his sternum and ribs broken. He flew backwards like a cannonball and hit the door again.

The door was smashed, and the Japanese flew into the house, knocking over something before stopping.

Guiliang: "..."

Compared with the fierce soldiers he had seen in the army, they were as weak as babies compared with adults...

The root of the desert is equivalent to an inch of strength. Zhao Chuanxin's own strength plus the bonus of the violent armor on the knee joints, this is no longer within the scope of human strength. It is not enough for a martial arts practitioner to practice in his mother's womb.

After kicking the attacker away, Zhao Chuanxin asked Idogawa Tatsuzo: "What's your name?"

Idogawa Tatsuzo didn't say anything, but Guiliang said: "His name is Idogawa Tatsuzo, and he is Japanese!"

It's hard to say how Guiliang was feeling at this time.

There was pleasure, but there was also concern because something happened to the Japanese on his territory.

And what are the principles by which the imperial court operates?

Don't offend your friends!

He was just a county magistrate. In the eyes of the local people, he was an old parent, but in the eyes of the imperial officials, he was nothing more than an idiot.

Therefore, this can be regarded as a reminder to Zhao Chuanxin not to do things to perfection.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "Oh? So you are Idogawa Tatsuzo?"

The last time I heard this name, it came from Kawahara Soko.

This person was also a spy, but with the end of the Russo-Japanese War, he chose to follow surveying and mapping personnel around.

Idogawa Tatsuzo saw the hesitation on Guiliang's face, and after hearing Zhao Chuanxin's words, he reluctantly shouted: "Exactly, let me go quickly..."

"Put you paralyzed, old boy Xu Shichang says hello to you."

After saying that, use strength in your arms.

Gaba...

"Ouch..."

Guiliang heard Zhao Chuanxin's words clearly.

It's hard to say whether Zhao Chuanxin deliberately let him hear it.

Anyway, your conscience suddenly suddenly made you want to cover your ears.

I didn't look at the almanac when I went out. I didn't know when to come, but I came now and heard something I shouldn't have heard.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't give him a chance to think. He pulled Idogawa Tatsuzo's head and pulled him backwards to the ground. He leaned over to pick up the attacker's pickaxe, held it and pointed it at Idogawa. Chen San’s stomach was hammered.

Idogawa Tatsumi's eyes popped out, and an unhealthy flush appeared on his face.

Guiliang watched and tightened his legs, otherwise he would have wet his pants.

The reaction of the bearer behind him was even more interesting. He turned halfway, maintaining a posture ready to run wildly at any time, but still insisted on staying to watch the excitement.

Zhao Chuanxin moved his neck: "I'm going to blanch you, I'll call you crazy again!"

Idogawa Tatsuzo is not crazy at all.

But there were other surveyors in the room, and they were also armed.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly disappeared on the spot.

Guiliangzheng was so frightened that he stood frozen on the spot, unable to move.

The back of the clothes was lifted up, and the legs were lifted off the ground and moved seven or eight meters sideways.

Zhao Chuanxin flashed forward and took him aside, when a gunshot rang out.

boom!

Guiliang was awakened by the sound of gunfire.

He turned his head, and those big eyes came into view.

"What are you looking at?"

"I..." Guiliang was speechless with his big eyes.

"If you want to see it, just open your eyes and watch carefully."

The moment the bearer heard the gunfire, he had already started to move.

Zhao Chuanxin saved Guiliang's life and then ran ten meters away in one step.

The cloak swayed behind him, then straightened.

call……

It brought up a gust of wind.

Zhao Chuanxin entered the house built by the Japanese.

Wow...

The windows shattered and the Japanese were thrown out one by one.

Then Zhao Chuanxin came out from the gate, leaned over and dragged a Japanese man and threw him against the wall. He stepped forward and kicked the Japanese man right in the face.

Click...

Between the 44-yard foot and the wall, the Japanese head is out of shape.

Guiliang: "..."

What evil have I done to let me see this?

This armor is equipped with hand guards, and the edges of the gloves are inlaid with metal.

A Japanese man just got up from the ground. His rifle was left in the room, but he still had a Type 26 revolver on his waist.

Just as he was about to take it out, Zhao Chuanxin jumped up high.

The cloak was straightened, and because Zhao Chuanxin lost control of his center of gravity, his body began to relax.

With the help of Fangheng's power, the power of the violent armor, and Zhao Chuanxin's own strength, the three powers combined into one to deliver a commanding superman punch.

That guy is so brittle!

Click...

Guiliang: "..."

How crispy is it?

The Japanese was still standing, but his neck was bent strangely, his face was bloody and collapsed.

And his hand had just touched the handle of the revolver.

Guiliang's body began to sway.

He couldn't accept such tragic scenes.

Another man was thrown out holding a Type 30 rifle. His left wrist was broken and his fingers were twisted. But he struggled to sit up, holding the gun with his forearm, and moved the muzzle of the gun with his right hand to point it at Zhao Chuanxin who had landed on the ground.

Zhao Chuanxin turned his head, the two big eyes of his helmet and goggles facing him calmly.

This person feels creepy and his scalp feels numb.

boom!

The moment he pulled the trigger, Zhao Chuanxin dodged.

"Hide...hide?" Guiliang rubbed his eyes.

Zhao Chuanxin takes a run-up, lifts his leg, and volleys!

The greaves on the shin guards are inlaid with angular edges.

Stab...

Click...

Unable to watch, Guiliang didn't dare to look directly.

Zhao Chuanxin raised the ball with his foot in the 30th position and caught it.

He quickly pulled the bolt and loaded the gun: "You don't know how to shoot? Look at me."

Seeing that he didn't look back, Guiliang turned the muzzle of the gun backwards and pulled the trigger.

boom!

The recoil of the rifle is very strong, but it seems to be non-existent in Zhao Chuanxin's hands, so he can easily grasp it.

and……

With his back turned, he shot the Japanese behind him between the eyebrows!

The remaining few people were almost crying.

They are surveyors, not professional soldiers, and even if they are soldiers they have to be desperate.

Zhao Chuanxin pulled the bolt again and turned the muzzle of the gun. The muzzle kept moving left and right: "Hey, who should I shoot at?"

Whoever the gun was aimed at would hold their head in fear, as if their arms were bulletproof.

boom!

With the muzzle of the gun moving quickly, Zhao Chuanxin fired.

Guiliang saw that the bullet hit one person between the eyebrows as usual.

I blanch...

The Japanese was about to shoot him in the face, and Zhao Chuanxin was able to dodge.

However, Zhao Chuanxin moved the gun until only an afterimage was left and still managed to hit the tenth ring.

Where can I go to reason?

The remaining four people got up and ran away.

Zhao Chuanxin was not in a hurry at all, and walked slowly to Guiliang's side: "How is it, is it exciting? Does it look good?"

Guiliang's lips trembled, and he instinctively turned around, wanting to find someone for help.

But he didn't bring any bodyguards. It would be useless if he did, and the bearer of the sedan chair had already disappeared...

Guiliang showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Okay, good man..."

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay?" Zhao Chuanxin pointed at his forehead: "I've had a few little devils sit on my neck and shit, so it's okay!"

Normally, this action would have been a great shame and humiliation for Guiliang, but now he felt like he was being pardoned.

Because he understood, Zhao Chuanxin came here for the Japanese today.

The name "little devil" had not appeared at this time.

However, the Lugang Town Insurance Team habitually called Japanese people "little devils", so the name "little devils" spread outside the customs.

Of course, no one knows who exactly these three words came from...

Seeing that he was silent and had a pitiful expression, Zhao Chuanxin said, "I, Zhao Chuanxin, will explain this to my superiors later."

After that, he took out Shui Lianzhu, which is Mosin Nagant.

boom……

boom……

boom……

boom……

Four shots, one shot for a child.

The four fleeing Japanese fell one after another.

Guiliang's head was pounding.

Outside the Guan is very big, but outside the Guan is very small.

As for things outside the customs, if there is any disturbance, it will spread.

Rumor has it that Zhao Chuanxin and Zhao Erxun are not at odds with each other, Zhao Chuanxin has a close relationship with Xu Shichang, and Zhao Chuanxin cannot be humane...

Naturally there will be some weird stuff mixed into it.

Nothing else, just because Zhao Chuanxin should not be too young, but I have never heard of him marrying a wife and having children, nor that he likes to visit prostitutes in romantic places...

But now, the living Zhao Chuanxin is right in front of him.

Guiliang muttered, and after a while he said: "Governor Xu..."

"Shh... I never told you that it was Xu Buwu who ordered it. I would never say that." Zhao Chuanxin took off his helmet and winked at Guiliang.

"Oh..." Guiliang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly agreed.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "Do you know if there are any Japanese doing surveying and mapping nearby?"

"This is the only place in Dongping and Xi'an counties. There must be other places, but I don't know." Guiliang thought of something and took out a map from his arms: "Mr. Zhao, please see, the Japanese are doing There are also rules and regulations, they will never dare to approach within a hundred and fifty miles of Lugang Town..."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the map. The straight-line distance between Lugang Town and Xi'an County was roughly three hundred miles. Xi'an County is about 130 miles away from Hailong Mansion in a straight line.

The administrative divisions of the late Qing Dynasty were very chaotic, and there was no certainty that what would change today would change tomorrow.

The area covered by Lugang Town extends to the northwest, and its limit is Hailong Mansion, which was originally under the jurisdiction of General Shengjing.

Hailong Mansion was originally Hailong Hall.

The original Fengtian Mansion has now become Fengtian Province.

Originally, the chief executive of Fengtian was General Shengjing, and the last General Shengjing was Zhao Erxun. When he first took office, it happened that Zhao Chuanxin took someone to withdraw money from an outside bank, and they met him when he came back, and it was not very pleasant. .

When we were in Hankou, we laughed away our grudges again.

Today, the chief executive is Governor Xu Shichang, and Zhao Erxun has been transferred.

Xi'an County was originally under the jurisdiction of Fengtian Mansion, but now it is under the jurisdiction of Hailong Mansion.

Zhao Chuanxin took out his cigarette and lit it: "There are no Japanese surveyors in Hailong Mansion, right?"

Naturally, the insurance team's hands cannot reach Hailong Mansion, otherwise it would be no different from an open rebellion.

If there was, Zhao Chuanxin would not hesitate to go there.

Guiliang shook his head: "No, it's okay. The Japanese are not very courageous. They only dare to bully me..."

"You know you are being bullied by the Japanese? Why don't you take action? Aren't you officials full of bad ideas? Why can't you use it on the little devils?"

"I..." Guiliang couldn't argue: "I will resign after I go back, kowtow three times in the morning and evening, burn a stick of incense in the morning and evening, eat fast and recite Buddha's name!"

He really thinks so.

It had a huge impact on him today.

Just seeing it made him think he would go to hell.

"Did I allow it?" Zhao Chuanxin looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"This..." Guiliang was confused.

Why do you still have the power to appoint imperial officials?

"You will keep doing this until you leave office. I still need you to be my spy. Keep an eye on the Japanese and report them to me if they make any changes."

Guiliang understood.

Zhao Chuanxin deliberately told him that today's matter was related to Xu Shichang.

And the threat from Zhao Chuanxin himself is also real.

The shock brought by that punch and kick was deeply imprinted in Guiliang's mind.

Under the threat of both parties, Guiliang can only continue to be an official with his tail between his legs...

Zhao Chuanxin handed over the meager firearms and ammunition, and the mosquito legs were also meat.

Patting Guiliang on the shoulder: "I'll give you a telegram address. If anything happens in the future, I'll send it here. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. See you later."

Guiliang was dumbfounded, looking at Zhao Chuanxin as if he was a neighbor coming to the door, coming and leaving as soon as he said he wanted to.

…

But in Yitong Prefecture, the Niu family gave out gruel again.

Because recently there have been horse bandits causing chaos and running around outside the customs.

When there is no food, the Mongolian herdsmen will take the initiative to help the horse bandits, but the Han people will rob them if they don't give it to them.

Not only the horse bandits robbed, but Zhang Zuolin's soldiers also robbed. If they don't rob, they can't fight. If they don't rob, they can't fight. They might starve to death because the supplies can't keep up.

I don’t know how many people have broken their homes.

People moved living trees and dead trees, and some people wandered to Yitong Prefecture.

Niu Zihou is the richest man in Jilin. Everyone says that he is rich and likes to get his own way, and he has a long-standing reputation for being charitable.

Niu Zihou's philanthropy is not a face-saving project, but it is inherited from his ancestors.

According to Sun Yutang, the chief shopkeeper of Niuzi Hou Industry, "The alms given by the Niu family did not come from Boss Niu, but from the old chapter. His father, Niu Hualin, was a kind man and not good at talking, but he only did good deeds. , set up a porridge relief field in winter. The generation of boss Niu is even worse..."

The general idea is that people's charity is an ancestral undertaking, not just a donkey dung egg.

The porridge shed in Yi-Tongzhou is located next to Yuan Shengqing's kitchen.

The so-called kitchen is not the kitchen, but the local people's nickname for the bank.

Niu Zihou came to Yi-Tongzhou with his eldest son Niu Hanzhang, who had returned from studying in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is said that he had something to do with Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin once brought back a coin minting machine from Hong Kong Island, and Lugang Town began to melt silver and mint coins.

In fact, according to law and theory, it is illegal to mint coins privately, but Lugang Town has its own rules and regulations, so who dares to take care of it?

The currency system outside the customs is very complicated, including silver, money, and Tie... Silver is silver, money is copper coins, and there are many different versions of Tie. The most famous one is the Qiang Tie issued specially by Russia outside the Customs. Of course, it later became successful because of Lie-N's efforts. , Qiang Tie turned into waste paper overnight.

Among them, silver is divided into traditional large and small silver ingots and silver oceans. The weight and fineness are not uniform.

The coins made in Lugang Town are a type of Yin Yang.

The silver coins in Lugang Town are different from other places in three ways.

The first is that the quality is very good; the second is that the weight error is very small, it is 27 grams of coins, which is a little heavier than an ordinary silver dollar; and the last is the printed picture, with two deer heads on the front, and the long antlers colliding on each other. Together, there seems to be a fight, and behind it is a horse riding a horse. Sitting on the horse is a female mounted policeman, who looks exactly like Liu Jiahui, but her face is too small and blurry...

The most peculiar thing is that the font printed on the coin, in the blank space on the front, says: Spicy.

On the back it says: 1907 was a heroic year.

Therefore, the people in Lugang Town and surrounding areas have three names for this kind of silver dollar.

The first is called Big Antlers.

The second one is called Female General Qian, because outsiders don’t know that it is Liu Jiahui, nor do they know that it is called Mounted Police, so they all think it is a female general.

The third call - spicy coins!

Because the ship was small and easy to turn around, and the coinage was made on Zhao Chuanxin's whim, the Lugang Town Mint was managed very scientifically and rationally. It did not have the messy and redundant staff structure of officials, supervision, and commercial offices like the mint established by the Qing government. In addition, Zhao Chuanxin The coin minting machine is the best at present, so the silver coins made in Lugang Town are very exquisite.

No, there is a person who deposited a sum of money for a female general in a bank account.

When you go back to get it, you need to cash in silver ingots or other silver coins.

The man became angry when he heard this: "What the hell? Are you fooling me? Spicy coins, I want spicy coins, where are your spicy coins? Mala coins, you know?"

The bank clerk responded with affection and reason, saying that it was impossible for everyone to withdraw the money he had deposited in the bank account.

The businessman just refused to do it and kept shouting: "Spicy coins!"

The bank clerk didn't know that he was cursing or asking for money, so he finally named Sun Yutang.

How extensive is Niujia's industry?

Oil, salt, smoke and hemp are called groceries; silks, silks, raccoon dogs and mink furs are called high-end department stores; delicacies from mountains and seas are called groceries; gold and silver utensils and jewelry processing are called gold shops... In addition, they are involved in Chinese herbal medicine, porcelain, pottery, bricks and tiles , grain and rice, carpentry shops, snack shops, firecrackers and financial industries, chicken farms, pig farms, fish ponds and so on.

Since Zhao Chuanxin and Niu Zihou met last time, his stall seems to have become bigger.

When it comes to the origin of Sun Yutang, the shop owner of Shengqing, who would not praise him for his ability and ability to manage more than 2,000 people!

But the businessman looked down upon him and said, "Who is Sun Yutang? I'm from that mess in Lugang Town. If you ask around, who knows that Zhao Chuanxin and I are brothers? When he sees me, he has to call me big brother."

The guy was shocked.

Originally, this person saved female general money, which was linked to Lugang Town, but now he has moved out of Zhao Chuanxin, which is indeed a bit scary.

The people of Guandong like to dig into ditches and ditches to settle down.

Usually if you go into the valley and ask around, you may find that the whole village is related to them.

No one can say anything about this.

The boy was doubtful, but he really couldn't take out the female general's money because he had already exchanged it for someone else.

The circulation of female general money is very small, but it is extremely popular. No one imitates it because they can’t afford it. The color is of high quality and the pattern is exquisite. No wonder it is so popular. Even though the writing on it is weird, it is still very recognizable.

The businessman slapped the table on the spot: "It's a spicy coin. I want a spicy coin. It's not easy for anyone to come today. My brother Zhao Chuanxin will not let his eldest brother suffer. You can do it. Spicy coin..."

Guy: "..."
