The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

The patrolman opened his mouth in surprise.

The onlookers were silent - why did they reach the climax just as they arrived...

These people include traders and pawns, people shopping, farmers, porters, and local merchants.

Changchun Prefecture is considered an immigrant city, and Chinese people like to stick together in groups. After the blind immigrants from Shandong, Zhili, Henan, Shanxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang gradually settled down and took root, they formed different groups.

People in Shandong are strong and strong. In addition to farming, most of them are engaged in the hiking and construction industries, and a few are engaged in business. This situation is similar to Lugang Town. People in Shanxi are more engaged in the financial industry, most of them are invoicing offices and pawnshops; while people in Zhili Most of them devote themselves to pure business...

Generally speaking, people from Zhili formed the Le (lao) Ting Clan; people from Shandong united into the Funing Clan. As for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, although there are small groups, they are not popular.

Investors, managers, shopkeepers, and apprentices abounded, and they all gathered to watch the excitement.

"Oh, this kick has brought our Qing Dynasty's military strength to a new high..."

"I heard that the deceased was a Japanese. Why did this person want to kill a Japanese? Oh, how can one kill someone in broad daylight? Oh, it's so happy... No, it's painful..."

After finding out that the person Zhao Chuanxin kicked to death was a Japanese, the locals were all gloating about his misfortune.

They compete with the Japanese business district next to the train station every day, and they are eager to see the Japanese suffer misfortune, provided that they are not the ones causing trouble.

These people are actually the hometown association.

At this time, there was a Shandong man named Chen Qian.

Although among the four circles of police, government, military and academia in Changchun Prefecture, Zhili people accounted for 20-30%, but Chen Qian was on good terms with people from these four circles.

When he saw Zhao Chuanxin's appearance clearly, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately came to the patrolman's side and whispered: "It's better not to offend this person today. Trust me, Marquis Chen Ming, and retreat immediately."

The patrolman was also afraid because he didn't have a gun.

After all, when the Japanese came to call the police, they didn't say that the murderer had a gun, and the patrol officers couldn't just walk around with guns on their backs every day.

And they trusted Chen Qian very much. They immediately looked at each other and said loudly: "This murderer is difficult to deal with. I will go and bring reinforcements..."

In fact, it is to find a place for yourself in front of the people.

Zhao Chuanxin thought they could do something, but they all ran away in the blink of an eye, leaving only a group of ordinary people stupidly waiting to see what would happen next.

The patrol officer left, but Chen Qian did not leave.

After quietly kicking the Japanese to death, he followed Zhao Chuanxin, who was still strutting around the market, not too far away.

Zhao Chuanxian had already bought everything he needed to buy. He finally went to a store called "Yade Cangyuan" to look at the jade articles.

He can also be regarded as an old art player. Whenever he passes a similar store, he has to go in and take a look. There may be good stuff of a quality that is not common in later generations.

Sure enough, he saw several pieces of spinach green jasper with excellent texture inside, and its smoothness was amazing.

"How much does this material cost?"

"Sir, if you want them all, I'll give you five dollars."

Zhao Chuanxin held the jade material in the palm of his hand, scraped it with his thumb, and it was so delicate.

Looking carefully through the light, there is not a single black spot.

Is it so cheap?

He directly took out five yuan and handed it over: "I want it."

The waiter didn't expect him to be so happy, and happily wanted to wrap it up. Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "No need."

I don't like their packaging.

With this quality of jade, even if it is glued together and faked, even if it can only pick out two waist beads, it is still worth it.

When he tinkered with these things, he didn't actually want to buy bracelets or pendants, but mostly to give them away or use them as accessories for skewers.

At this time, the shopkeeper came back from watching the fun outside. When he saw Zhao Chuanxin and the jasper in his hand, he immediately understood. He was surprised at first, and then smiled: "Hey, you are here to buy jade? You are really a talented person and brave. ,The Japanese..."

At this time, the people of Changchun Prefecture did not hate the Japanese, but they did have national pride. They were happy when they saw the Japanese being unlucky.

The clerk didn't know what was going on because he was looking at the store and didn't have a chance to go out and see.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and said happily: "What Japanese? Do you want to slander others? I've been here looking at jade."

Shopkeeper: "..."

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was about to leave, he quickly took out a small gadget from the counter: "Hero, this piece of jade is included in the store for free."

Zhao Chuanxin was not polite. He took it and saw that it was a small white jade Buddha hand.

The round-carved Buddha's hand is made of warm and dense jade, with pure white brilliance and thick pulp. The tips of the Buddha's hand are grasped upward and bent, and the golden-yellow skin-colored branches and leaves cover the Buddha's hand, which is vivid and realistic.

This is a carving method based on the shape, using both round and round shapes. The precious light is soft and meandering. Maybe the jade itself is not valuable, but the carving is excellent. The white color with some golden skin color is the finishing touch.

Typical materials are not as good as workmanship.

Zhao Chuanxin is a carver. His carving skills are not as good as those of others. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Thanks to your kindness, if anything happens in the future, I will go to the boss Niu Zihou Niu and tell the boss named Zhao that I owe him a debt." As a favor, he will contact me."

If the shopkeeper knew his identity and gave something away, Zhao Chuanxin wouldn't even look at it.

The opposite is not true.

The shopkeeper just lost his temper and never expected to get Zhao Chuanxin's promise.

Although he didn't recognize Zhao Chuanxin, he knew Niu Zihou.

So I was stunned.

When he wanted to talk again, Zhao Chuanxin's figure had disappeared from the door.

Zhao Chuanxin went out and went to a knife shop called Zhengfa Kitchen Knife. He took out his kitchen knives, Miao knives and Xiaozang knives: "Give me a sharp edge. Make it faster. I'll give you a tip."

The guy took a few knives and looked at them. Good guy, except for the kitchen knife, the other two were stained with dried dark brown blood.

As for blood, a doctor once told Zhao Chuanxin that no matter whether it is dried or not, it will definitely not appear black.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to describe dried blood as dark brown, but Zhao Chuanxin has seen a lot of blood, and he can say with certainty that some of it will really turn black!

The boy didn't dare to say or ask, so he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and started sharpening the knife.

However, he said that although the patrol officers listened to Chen Qian's words and left, they also notified the Bingbei Road of Jilin West Road.

In the past, Changchun Prefecture was not taken seriously by the Qing court, but with the handover of the Middle East Railway and the South Manchuria Railway between Japan and Russia in Changchun Prefecture, officials from culturally developed areas inside and outside the customs came here to serve one after another.

Even the third town of the Beiyang Army was dispatched to Changchun Mansion to station.

The registered commander-in-chief and the current commander of the third town was none other than Cao Kun, who later became famous for his bribery.

Although a Japanese died, Cao Kun, who had become a big boss, didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was just an ordinary gangster. After all, there was only one person.

However, the Japanese South Manchuria Railway personnel came to make a fuss and asked him to punish the murderer. Cao Kun had to show some sympathy. In order to show his concern, he sent a supervisor to assist the patrolmen in catching the murderer.

Zhao Chuanxin spent a long time buying jade and sharpening his sword.

The waiter didn't dare to fool Zhao Chuanxin, so he sharpened the three knives very carefully, especially the Miao knife that looked extraordinary at first sight.

While I was grinding, a man came into the house.

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes and said to himself: "Suddenly, a madman sharpened his knife at night, and the emperor's star was fluttering high."

The visitor was none other than Chen Qian. As soon as he entered the door, he felt as if he was wrapped in a tangible murderous aura. Zhao Chuanxin, who was looking at him with a half-smiling smile, couldn't move.

The so-called murderous intent is actually a psychological shock.

This is similar to hypnosis.

It is not something mysterious and mysterious like a magnetic field.

If you want to elaborate, you can think about what it would be like for a mouse to see a cat.

At this time, Chen Qian couldn't move.

Zhao Chuanxin asked him: "Why are you following me?"

It turned out that Zhao Chuanxin had discovered this person a long time ago.

"me……"

"Incoherent words mean you have evil intentions, man, bring me the knife!" Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand and waited to take the knife.

Chen Qian was so scared that he wet his pants.

He said "Ah", broke away from the shackles of the psychological level, and quickly explained: "Mr. Zhao, I recognize you."

If all the rumors are true, and what he saw with his own eyes today, Zhao Chuanxin is indeed a murderer who kills without blinking an eye.

Knowing him, and still daring to follow him, he is obviously not someone with ulterior motives.

Zhao Chuanxin leaned lazily on the counter again: "What do you want from me?"

"Mr. Zhao, something is wrong." Chen Qian said anxiously: "The new army is stationed in Changchun Mansion. Guan Wu will lead the troops and cooperate with the patrol to arrest you..."

"Oh." Zhao Chuanxin said very calmly, "That's bad luck for them."

Chen Qian: "..."

In the early days, reports that Zhao Chuanxin was causing trouble in New York reached the east coast of the ocean, and many people thought it was nonsense.

Anyone who has never seen Zhao Chuanxin in battle feels that no matter how strong his personal bravery is, he cannot resist the army.

The so-called enemy of ten thousand people only describes the general's commanding ability, not his personal bravery.

No matter how good Zhao Chuanxin is, can he escape from thousands of police officers in New York? That's a city, and it's hard to fly without being chased and blocked.

Chen Qian thinks so too.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was so generous, he took a step closer and whispered: "Mr. Zhao, I am Chen Qian, courtesy name Minghou. He joined the Alliance in Japan in the 31st year of Guangxu. Mr. Sun and I mentioned Mr. Zhao. We are our own people..."

First make it clear that you are one of your own.

Why do you think Zhao Chuanxian is one of your own?

Generally speaking, Sun Gongwu has always kept secret his various supports for Zhao Chuanxin.

But Chen Qian was an exception, because in 1905, after Chen Qian left the Hubei Army Academy, he rushed to Japan to join the association. At that time, Sun Gongwu sent him to carry out anti-Qing activities outside the customs.

Outside the customs, there is one person who cannot be avoided, and that is Zhao Chuanxin.

Therefore, Sun Gongwu secretly told him at the beginning of this year that not only could he not provoke Zhao Chuanxin or the Lugang Town Insurance Team, but he must also be on good terms with them.

The strength of the insurance team can be seen from Zhang Shuangxi, who is now active in the south.

Because of Double Happiness, Sun Gongwu knew Zhao Chuanxin's appearance before and after his "metamorphosis".

Before his metamorphosis, Zhao Chuanxin was a lazy man who had nothing to do and loved teasing children; after his metamorphosis, Zhao Chuanxin was crazy, bloodthirsty and regarded human life as nothing.

Sun Gongwu also told Chen Qian one by one whether Zhao Chuanxian had a beard or not.

So when he saw Zhao Chuanxin, Chen Qian suspected that it was Zhao Chuanxin based on his words, deeds, and temperament.

At this time, when he saw Zhao Chuanxin, who had looked fierce just now, but in the blink of an eye he looked like a street kid, he became even more determined.

"Ah..." Zhao Chuanxin's eyes widened: "You shameless person, who the hell is one of your own?"

Chen Qian: "..."

Sun Gongwu only said that he wanted to make friends with Zhao Chuanxin, but he did not say that Zhao Chuanxin had joined the association.

He said awkwardly: "No matter what, Zhao Chuanxin please leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible."

"No need." Zhao Chuanxin took out his cigar, cut off his head and nodded: "Wherever Zhao goes, there is right and wrong. It is the same everywhere."

"..."

Chen Qian thought for a while and was speechless.

In fact, if it was just Zhao Chuanxin fighting the new army, Chen Qian wouldn't care, even if Sun Gongwu asked him to befriend Zhao Chuanxin.

The problem is that he has developed the military leader into a member of the Shandong Association and will be of great use in the future.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was not getting any food or salt, Chen Qian stamped his feet, turned around and left without Zhao Chuanxin.

He glanced at the man who was struggling to clean the edge on the grindstone and asked, "How long will it take? I might need it later."

The clerk's pupils shrank: "Hero, we don't have much revenue here, let's grab it from another company..."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He slapped the money on the counter and said, "Work harder. You don't have to do it here."

The man breathed a sigh of relief and started grinding quickly.

Not long after, Chen Gan ran back again, panting.

It turned out that when he saw that Zhao Chuanxin was unmoved, he wanted to talk to the supervisor again.

As a result, the new soldiers who were marching refused to recognize his relatives and sent him away directly. If he left even half a moment late, he might even get beaten.

There was no other way, Chen Qian came back to find Zhao Chuanxin, and found that Zhao Chuanxin was still leaning on the counter doing nothing, watching the clerk sharpen the knife.

Blanch!

His eyebrows were burning, but he was still not in a hurry?

"Mr. Zhao, it's too late if you don't leave. They have already found out your whereabouts and will be there in half a quarter of an hour."

"Oh, don't pity them."

"..."

What is this word?

When the man finally finished grinding, he washed away the iron filings with water, then dried and oiled it, and handed it back to Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin put away the knife, twisted his neck, pushed Chen Qian away and walked out.

As it happened, the officer in charge arrived late.

Some people say that the salaries of the insurance team in Lugang Town are high, and that the prices are sky-high, but in fact, how can we compare them?

The Qing court's newly-established army pay chapter records: New Army soldiers' pay is higher than that of the Hunan-Huai Army. Each infantry soldier is paid four taels and five cents of silver for food and drink per month, each cook is paid three taels and five cents of silver for work and food per month, and each artillery soldier is paid three taels and five cents of silver. The monthly salary is 40 taels of food silver, and the monthly salary of each cavalry soldier is 9 taels... And a cavalry leader is 100 taels per month, the coach and non-commissioned officer is 100 taels per month, the cavalry officer is 50 taels per month, and the platoon leader is 50 taels per month. 25 taels...

Converted into silver dollars, a pipe leader costs 136 oceans a month, minus the fraction; a non-commissioned officer costs 136 oceans; a team officer costs 68 oceans a month; a platoon leader costs 24 oceans; the lowest level A big soldier costs more than 6 yuan a month... This is not considered invisible income.

The insurance team is brave and good at fighting, one against ten, and outside the customs has been a place with many battles in recent years. Whoever is given less will ignore you, whoever is given less will be trained to death, and whoever is given less is willing to go there. Charge into battle to the death? In terms of combat literacy, who can match the insurance team at this time? Tsarist Russia tried it, but it didn’t work. The kid tried it, but it didn't work either. The new army is also nonsense. The insurance team is worth this price, there is no excuse.

Zhao Chuanxin did not say that nine-nine-six was a blessing, nor did he say that giving too many wings would cause them to harden, which would be harmful...

He saw the new army on the opposite side, which was taller and stronger than elsewhere, spreading out to surround the place.

The military and police worked together to block various gaps to prevent Zhao Chuanxin from escaping.

When Chen Qian came out and saw this scene, his heart dropped.

It's over.

The Year of Xinhai was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Chuanxin could not easily move the local garrison, and he could not figure out who would make progress or reverse the trend later.

But don’t forget, you are closer to blowing out the lamp and pulling out the wax.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that he had to give Aixinjueluo Zaifeng a warning: Even if you are in power, I am someone you cannot afford to offend.

The shape of the cigar gradually matches the shape of the smoke above Changchun Mansion.

On the opposite side, the supervisor asked the patrolman: "Is that the murderer? Why is he still wearing armor, thinking he can stop bullets?"

Guan Dai has a long face, big eyes, a straight bridge of nose, and upright facial features. Riding on a horse, dressed in military uniform, he looks very handsome and elegant.

The patrolman nodded: "Yes, he kicked the Japanese to death with just one kick and flew him ten meters away. It was very frightening."

Guan Dai raised his eyebrows, very interested.

He has never seen a fierce person who can kick someone ten meters away.

He then pointed at the man and said, "Look, he is still smoking at this time. Is he looking forward to death, or is he relying on something?"

The patrolman thought for a while: "I think I have something to rely on. Chen Minghou advised me to leave first so as not to offend this person."

The supervisor listened and said: "General Soldier Cao told me to handle it properly, so that we can't shoot randomly. He is only one person after all. Wait for me to come forward and ask questions."

So he led a few followers, rode forward on horseback, and shouted condescendingly: "Your Excellency is also a brave man, but a single thought made things get out of hand."

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "If you stand on your head and have diarrhea on the spot, then it is out of control, otherwise it can be dealt with."

Guandai: "You..."

My nose is so hung up and crooked.

The picture was so beautiful that I couldn’t even imagine it.

"What the hell, do you usually rely on your words to catch the murderer? If you want to fight quickly, I have to be on my way." Zhao Chuanxin was impatient.

"Fight?" The leader looked to the left and right. Nearly 200 people, including company soldiers and police officers, came, each loaded with guns and ammunition. "Do you think you can escape after killing the Japanese and being surrounded by the army?"

"Yeah, that's what I think. Aren't the little devils just here to kill, to make a fuss." Zhao Chuanxin said matter-of-factly, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

The policeman didn't say anything. The patrolman thought he had found a backer, so he stiffened his wings and interrupted, holding his neck and saying, "You killed a Japanese and you still want to run away. Do you think you are from Lugang Town?"

As we all know, Lugang Town is very unfriendly to the Japanese.

After killing Japanese soldiers and Japanese spies, Japan lost its temper and the Qing court was helpless. If you want to survive, just don't go to Lugang Town.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, how did you know that I am from Lugang Town?"

Patrolman: "..."

The supervisor felt something was wrong: "I, Wu Peifu, am currently serving as the supervisor. Who are you?"

Wu Peifu?

Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart that you really can’t tell if you have braids...

Wu Peifu was remarkable in many aspects, but he was too stubborn and loyal, and his relationship with Lao Cao was too strong.

If others came, such as Wang Zhanyuan who Tianjin Wei met and Bao Shanyi who was on the grassland, Zhao Chuanxin would probably go on a killing spree today to show the monkeys in the capital.

But since it is Wu Peifu...

Zhao Chuanxin flicked the cigar away: "I am Zhao Chuanxin."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

In other places, when the words "Zhao Chuanxin" are reported, there are many people who have never heard of them.

But outside the customs, especially in Jilin Province, all women and children know these three words, which can stop children from crying at night.

The crowd watching the excitement shouted: "Zhao Chuanxin, God is actually Zhao Chuanxin..."

"Zhuo, I saw Zhao Chuanxin alive today..."

"Dad, please hold me up and watch Zhao Chuanxin..."

I have always been worried about it. The part about the salary of the insurance team members was very serious to readers. Do you really understand that period of history? Just open your mouth and be blind. At that time, outside the customs, people were licking blood every day. Do you really think that someone would work for you just for a little money? Just think about it for a while. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the monthly salary of a non-commissioned officer in the New Army was 136 yuan. The total salary now is close to 100,000 yuan. The handsome sergeant major of the SEALs has a basic annual salary of only 200,000 yuan. Please note, it is our Motoko, not Mei Dao. A non-commissioned officer in the New Army can earn as much as a beautiful sergeant major in one year in two months. Why don't you tell the Qing court that their setting is unreasonable?

When Wolf Warriors shoots a group of people who stand up and complain, the first drop of blood will be regarded as a classic.

As long as one of your own people is more awesome and gets better treatment, then it won't work.

After all, the salary is low and you still work hard, that is called a blessing.

After all, too high a salary can be harmful. If you give them more money, their wings will become stronger... When Lao Cao said this, his face was spattered with saliva. Now you have become Lao Cao, right?

If you go to the factory in Shandong, you will see that the little devils are here, picky and demanding, but they treat them like guests, treat them well, and strive to make all products perfect. Products for your own people can be anything. And everyone thinks this is normal. Tell yourselves, why is this?

Damn, foreigners have seen our jokes a lot, you know, and they think they are smart enough to be sober in the world. Apart from suppressing costs and causing internal friction and oppression to harm your own people, what else can you do?
