The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

A trace of anger flashed across Song Xiaolian's face, but in the end he suppressed it and said sincerely: "Prefect Zhao, being an official is not like fighting. Being an official is like making tea and writing. You must be more gentle, courteous and thrifty..."

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes widened: "Old man, where are you fooling around? Everyone is dancing today, and there are no ghosts here."

"..." Song Xiaolian said: "Prefect Zhao, we have to be reasonable, right? I am from Jilin Prefecture, and I was born in Lugang Town, Prefecture Zhao. You and I are not far apart. Now that we have said this, I would like to ask, you Zhao Is it possible that the charcoal workers will be violent to the fellow villagers?"

When it comes to the latter part, I feel a little anxious and shameless. I don’t even call him Zhao Zhifu, but just Zhao Tangong.

Zhao Chuanxin was so excited that he didn't laugh.

He coughed and said: "How could it be possible? Old Song Dynasty has worried too much. But since the imperial court has set up military equipment, the military equipment should not be managed out of bounds. These five wings and eight flags should have been controlled by our Lubin Mansion. We will prepare the army and control the Lubin Mansion, what do you think, Old Song?"

Zhang Shouzeng listened with a strange expression on his face.

He speaks like an old Song Dynasty man, as if he has practiced it for a long time.

Song Xiaolian had long known that there would be a tumultuous situation like today.

Politics is all about compromise.

Hearing this, he said: "The Commander-in-Chief of the Five Wings is under the control of Bingbei Road, which follows the old rules. Since Lubin Mansion has been built, it is okay for the Commander-in-Chief of Five Wings to be controlled by Lubin Mansion. However, Bingbei Road has the right to cross over to Lubin Mansion. Lubin Mansion has to report to Bingbei Road."

Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes: "Well... it's okay, but Wuyi will have to obey the orders of Lubin Mansion from now on."

Song Xiaolian felt something was wrong.

Twelve out of ten times something is wrong.

But he racked his brains and couldn't figure out where the trap was.

Zhao Chuanxin laughed and said: "That's it, General Manager Badang'a, I need to set up 25 new Karens, each Karen has one member and 22 soldiers. Five wings, each wing will give me 115 people. In addition, I need to establish a patrol bureau, and I need five people from each wing to train patrol officers."

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

Badang'a's eyes flashed: "All the soldiers guarding the card will come from my five wings?"

He couldn't believe it, because the imperial court's intention to implement the New Deal was very clear, to further deprive them of their power, vigorously appoint Han people to fill the border, and appoint Han officials to guard the border while guarding the fields.

But one word from Zhao Chuanxin would destroy this intention.

Song Xiaolian was even more anxious: "Prefect Zhao, this matter must be discussed in the long run..."

Why are the elbows turned outward?

Zhao Chuanxin lowered his eyelids and flicked his cigar ashes: "There is no need to discuss it further, this matter is settled. Manager Badang, do you have any objections?"

Batang A is conflicted.

First, they do not want their power to be taken away.

Originally, there were many conflicts between Mongolia and Han, and the imperial court also wanted to appoint a large number of Han people to strengthen the border. The situation was very unfavorable to them.

Secondly, they had always followed the advice of the Dutong Yamen and suddenly changed the door and courtyard, which made him feel uneasy. Who knew how long the newly built Lubin Mansion could last? If Song Xiaolian was offended and Zhao Chuanxin patted his ass and left, they would suffer.

Zhao Chuanxin did this on purpose.

What is important is the effect of instigating the relationship between the five-wing general manager and the army.

Otherwise, how can we start work?

Badang really wanted to agree, but when he raised his head, he saw Song Xiaolian staring at him intensely.

Badang'a sighed inwardly, and his words turned into: "Master Magistrate, Lubin Mansion has just been built. You are recruiting two niulu of manpower. How are you going to pay them? Are you going to suppress them?"

This is making things difficult.

The imperial court couldn't even allocate money to build the government office. Where would the money come from to recruit soldiers and horses for Zhao Chuanxin? In addition to the salaries and wages of the local soldiers, which are paid by the Military Preparation Road, the rest are raised by themselves. That is to say, layers of exploitation.

Song Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Fortunately, Batang'a did not rebel.

Zhao Chuanxin thought of Yao Jia when he heard this.

He smiled: "The salary will be paid in full!"

"Seriously?" Badang'a raised his eyebrows.

The two have different understandings.

Five-wing soldiers are usually paid only 6 cents, which is half the salary. But as a general rule, half the amount is the full amount. Badang'a was serious about what he said. He wanted to ask Zhao Chuanxin if he could really give out half of the amount?

Zhao Chuanxin didn't understand the inside story, so what he said was "full amount": "Of course I take it seriously."

Badang'a looked at Song Xiaolian, who lowered his head slightly, noncommittal.

This shows that Song Xiaolian will not allocate funds to Zhao Chuanxin, otherwise he would naturally endorse Zhao Chuanxin.

Then things get interesting. Zhao Chuanxin said he could give it, but Song Xiaolian said he wouldn't. Where did the money come from?

Badang'a pondered for a moment, then pretended to sigh in difficulty: "Hey, Mr. Magistrate, you don't know something. Originally, we were the ones from Zhuer Teyi to Mengke Xili on the right bank of the Ergun River. -The grazing land of the Lun tribe. During the Gengzi Rebellion, Tsarist Russia’s war hit there, and the grazing land was occupied by Tsarist Russia. Only the north and south banks of the Hailar River are not enough for our grazing, and every household has reduced production. Now, we want to help you do something for you. I must have concerns, and I hope you can understand.”

Song Xiaolian smiled.

That's right, that's it, just make Zhao Chuanxin feel uncomfortable.

Zhao Chuanxin had already expected excuses and making things difficult. This matter was also mentioned in the information given by Hu Da.

Zhao Chuanxin stood up suddenly and asked Badang'a: "If I take back your grazing land, can you have any other excuses?"

Badang Axin said, this alone is already an almost impossible task, what other excuse do you want?

He reminded Zhao Chuanxin: "In the past few years, the Russian invasion has become increasingly rampant, and they have wantonly expanded the land in our grazing areas. They have built more than 200 shacks, 5 yurts, more than 1,500 men and women, and reclaimed wasteland. Section 8, with thousands of acres of cultivated land... It is simply insurmountable for us, because Tsarist Russia deployed 15 soldiers every 2 miles along the China-Eastern Railway, and in this section alone there are more than 2,000 soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition."

At this point, Zhang Shouzeng, who was silent at the side, suddenly said: "As the general manager of the Russia Negotiation Bureau, I will negotiate this matter with the China Eastern Railway Administration and their Ministry of Civil Affairs!"

How fucked up is Tsarist Russia?

They stationed troops along the China Eastern Railway, and also established the China Eastern Railway Administration. Under the administration, they established more than a dozen departments, including the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Police Department, and the Military Department.

In other countries, is it okay to set up more than a dozen departments?

The Qing government established the Railway Negotiation Bureau and the Manzhouli Frontier Reclamation Bureau for this purpose. Because they were not local organizations, they were overwhelmed and could not solve the problem at all.

Now that Lubin Mansion has been built and used to house Zhao Chuanxin, it seems that it has lost its role in negotiating with Tsarist Russia.

Zhang Shouzeng could understand the positions of Zhao Chuanxin and Song Xiaolian. He should have been on Song Xiaolian's side, but after listening to Badang'a's words, he still stood up passionately and promised to help negotiate.

It is enough to show that this person has not evolved into an official.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "No need, I can negotiate in person. Badang, you said they are all armed with live ammunition, right?"

Everyone was surprised, but Batang A nodded: "Yes, they are all loaded with live ammunition."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at his watch. He had to work against time.

Before the temple fair of Shouning Temple opens, he needs to build his own team to pull it up.

Zhang Shouzeng was speechless: "Zhifu Zhao, you..."

"What's wrong with you and me, we are all one family, who is going to negotiate?" Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth, picked up Yao Bing, who was drowsy by the bonfire, and said, "You continue to play music and dance, I went to work."

Badang Azao was stunned: "It's almost dark, you..."

Zhao Chuanxin wrapped Yao Bing up and put it on his back: "Three cups of Turanuo will make the five mountains lighter. The moon is dark and the wind is high, it's time to kill people and set fires! Today Zhao drank three kilograms of your wine and helped you solve the grazing land." If you dare to make excuses for one thing later, I will definitely not forgive you!"

I blanch...

Unbeknownst to others, Song Xiaolian knew Zhao Chuanxin too well and immediately wanted to stop him.

But it was too late, Zhao Chuanxin and his apprentice had already fled far away.

Batang'a saw that he looked anxious and didn't understand what was going on, so he asked: "Master Song, why do you look so ugly?"

Song Xiaolian was furious and stamped her feet and said, "It's ugly? Huh! Do you know how much trouble you've caused with just one word?"

Badang Aba took a cigarette pot and said: "What a disaster?"

"You..." Song Xiaolian said angrily: "Then who is Zhao Chuanxin? If you encourage him to take back the land, do you think he will negotiate with Zhen and Zhang Heyan like that? He will use the most brutal means to treat the Russians!"

Batang A banged the pot on the pipe, thinking that's not bad, right?

When two tigers fight, isn't it a good thing who gets hurt?

Song Xiaolian said to Zhang Shouzeng: "Quick, you ride to catch up and be sure to stop Zhao Chuanxin."

Zhang Shouzeng did not ride a horse, but took a train.

Moreover, he couldn't catch up with Zhao Chuanxin.

It takes another five or six hours to arrive by train.

For Zhao Chuanxin, swamps, lakes, rivers, grasslands, and sand dunes were like walking on plain ground, almost a straight line back to Lubin Mansion.

Hulun-Buir is one of the three largest grasslands in the world, with more than 3,000 rivers crisscrossing it and more than 500 lakes dotted around it.

Back at the government office, Zhao Chuanxian unloaded the purchased coal, fresh beef, mutton and vegetables.

Yao Jia said: "Mr. Zhao, I went to Manzhouli. My sister said that the batch of uniforms you ordered will take ten days and a half to be shipped."

"Okay." Zhao Chuanxin looked at his watch: "You will take over this matter for the time being. The required bills and accounts must not be missing."

"yes."

Zhao Chuanxin turned around and left.

Rebecca Levi asked: "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I won't eat anymore."

There is no time to eat. It is already dark and there is nothing to do.

Nicholas II and his tsarist predecessors held the same idea - only when there are people on both sides of the border can they sleep.

It is said that Nicholas II deployed more than 25,000 soldiers on the border.

These troops were organized into three mixed brigades, each with two infantry regiments, one infantry regiment of 3,200 men, two cavalry regiments of 600 men each, plus an artillery brigade.

This strength is equivalent to the strength of the two towns in the Six Beiyang Towns.

Xu Shichang only brought one town's troops outside the pass.

If Mao Zi came over at this time, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu would be in serious danger.

However, this is just the border guards.

In addition to these forces, there is also a dedicated Railway Guard brigade along the railway line. This brigade has six regiments, each with 2,400 infantry regiments, and a total strength of 15,000.

Infantry regiments are mainly stationed at each major station, while thousands of cavalry patrol along the railway at all times, and there are thousands of railway police to maintain daily railway security.

All the armed forces added together accounted for almost half of the total strength of the Six Beiyang Towns, which was very frightening.

In the year of 1911, Nicholas II was very excited and felt that he had an opportunity, so he successively added ten to twenty thousand troops outside the customs.

It shows how hateful this guy is.

Zhao Chuanxin is not a fool. Facing such a huge army, even if he cuts them from head to tail with a Miao knife, he will probably break his arm from exhaustion and still not be able to finish the cut.

It has to be consumed slowly, and the toad with long teeth has to get on the instep.

His first stop was Manzhouli.

In Manchuria, the first small climax of commercial development was during the Russo-Japanese War.

At that time, more than 200 foreign merchants and a large number of Tsarist Russian merchants flocked here to operate.

Tsarist Russian companies that originally purchased military supplies for the Tsar soon fell into trouble due to a sudden drop in business volume because the war lasted too short.

Then the economy began to slump, a large number of Tsarist Russian merchants withdrew, and the number of Chinese merchants dropped sharply from 200 to more than 20 households.

The waves are surging, and those who can persevere are the best.

Lu Fengqi, the owner of Wanmaosheng Store, which sells cloth and groceries, is doing the accounting.

Suddenly he heard a faint rustling sound above his head. He was startled, looked up, and cursed: "These rats are so lawless, damn them!"

After scolding, he continued to bow his head and take stock.

Zhao Chuanxin was right above his head, sitting cross-legged, wearing a helmet, and using his night vision ability to peek at the location of the Russian military camp in Manchuria.

When a large group of patrol soldiers passed by.

Zhao Chuanxin stood up, put on his shadow cloak, jumped off the roof, and followed him.

These Tsarist Russian soldiers unknowingly took him to the barracks and weapons depot.

Not everyone has to deliver weapons at night, but after Zhao Chuanxuan opened the door of the weapons warehouse, he still saw more than two hundred Mosin Nagant and other rifles of various colors.

I just didn't see the ammunition. The ammunition should be stored somewhere else.

He rolled up the gun on the weapons rack and came in and out in the same way, coming and going without a trace in the darkness under the eyes of the soldiers on guard.

After waiting for a while and finding that there was no suitable opportunity, Zhao Chuanxin went to the railway station and boarded the train carriage.

The wind blew up the hem of the shadow cloak, revealing his true body.

But it was no use. The night and the dark carriage made Zhao Chuanxin on the roof very inconspicuous.

After walking for about ten minutes, a group of road guard cavalry appeared below.

Zhao Chuanxin immediately jumped out of the car. When he jumped off, he happened to land on the back of a man's horse. The small hidden knife in his hand reached from the back to the front and wiped his neck.

There were ten cavalrymen in this group, and they were smoking, drinking and bragging.

The last person was killed by Zhao Chuanxin, and the people in front didn't even notice.

Zhao Chuanxin stood on the horse, jumped up, slashed with his knife, and the huge head of the person in front rose into the sky.

A burst of hot blood splattered, which alerted the others.

"Ah...it's blood!"

laugh……

"You, what's wrong with you..."

"laugh……"

One after another people fell.

The rest were stunned.

It was dark and there were no street lights, so they couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, a Tsarist Russian soldier holding a lantern illuminated a strange darkness.

This mass of blackness covered the belly of the other empty horse, which made him realize that something was wrong.

The black color of the shadow cloak can absorb more than 99% of light, making it difficult to detect when it disappears into the night, but it will still appear abrupt in conspicuous places.

Just as he was about to raise his gun, a giant ax whirled towards him.

Pfft...

boom……

The gun still went off.

Zhao Chuanxin also fired.

Bang bang bang.

One shot for a child.

He quickly handed over the weapons and ammunition of several people, rummaged through his pockets, took out money, wine bottles and other personal belongings, and when he saw a good belt, he also removed it.

After everything was done, he chased the train on the Misty Traveler and climbed onto the roof again.

The sound of gunshots traveled far and wide in the night and was extremely loud.

The road protection teams were not far apart from each other, and Zhao Chuanxin was sure that the next wave of road protection teams would hear it.

Sure enough, not long after, a group of cavalry, numbering more than 30 people, came in a hurry from the direction of Zhalainuoer.

They first looked at the train and found nothing unusual, then chased after it.

Zhao Chuanxin jumped off the train, stepped on the Misty Traveler and touched it from behind.

A knife to the left, a knife to the right, a knife to the left, a knife to the right...

The roots of the desert firmly fixed Zhao Chuanxin on the Misty Traveler. He was tall and long-armed, and his sword was even longer. He walked between the horse teams, using his swords from left to right, one hair at a time.

"ah……"

If stabbed like this, he would definitely not die on the spot.

Suddenly he screamed again and again.

The cavalry team suddenly panicked.

People are afraid, but horses are not.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

Bang bang bang...

Zhao Chuanxin bowed and hid behind a horse. No one could find him, and all the bullets of the road protection team were empty.

Xilulu...

"Stop, stop, search for enemies..."

As soon as the man stopped his horse, Zhao Chuanxin rushed forward and slashed him with his sword.

laugh……

The sound stopped suddenly.

Now, the others were even more panicked.

The invisible enemy is the most terrifying enemy.

Tsk...tsk...tsk...

Bang bang bang...

After a round of bullets that even these cavalrymen didn't know where they hit, Zhao Chuanxin took the opportunity to pull the bolt again, Zhao Chuanxin put away the Piaomiao Traveler, jumped up and killed two people in a row, and controlled the Shui Lianzhu that one of them had just pulled the bolt. Aim at the other person and fire.

boom!

Fall to the ground.

It sounds complicated, but Zhao Chuanxin's movements are actually extremely fast.

Usually when Maozi hears a "hula", someone must die.

Stab, stab, backhand stab, two-handed slash, one-handed stab, stab...

In a matter of seconds, he would be seriously injured or dead.

Zhao Chuanxin followed the same pattern, disarmed, dug into his pockets, drew his belt, and lasted a last hit...

Pick up the train again.

Yes, he had two goals tonight.

The first is to seize as many weapons as possible, and the second is to remove the cavalry from the road protection team along the route from Manzhouli, Zhalainuoer to Hailar Station.

These road protection teams helped the Tsarist Russians who crossed the border to dominate. Without the road protection teams, Zhao Chuanxin would have no worries about his next actions and could be unscrupulous.

He was not in a hurry and followed the train.

If you encounter them, kill them. If you don't encounter them, treat them as a rest.

In the era of walkie-talkies and telephones, he couldn't do this. Now he bullies them because of their poor communication.

I want all the Maozi and Banners here to see the horror of Zhao Chuanxin!

Lao Tzu Zhao Chuan Xin——Here he comes!

The train was very slow and the roof was dirty. Zhao Chuanxin couldn't let the shadow cloak get dusty, so he simply took off the cloak and put on the fire-collecting armor. He sat on the train carriage with his legs hanging down and the cloak askew. fluttering to the side.

The road guard is easy to identify. As long as they hold a lantern and flicker like fireflies at night, they must be the cavalry.

Taking off his disguise, Zhao Chuanxin went on a rampage in a bold and aggressive manner.

The Misty Traveler drifted among the cavalry, tossing and turning, hacking and stabbing, wasting as little ammunition as possible, but not completely without it.

For example, in this group, the last person wanted to escape on horseback. Zhao Chuanxin picked up a Mosin Nagant. The night vision of his helmet made it easy for him to aim.

boom.

Hit the center of the back and fall off the horse.

Zhao Chuanxin simply put away his gun and continued chasing the train to rest.

The train entered Zhalainur.

Zhao Chuanxin saw from a distance that nearly two hundred infantrymen surrounded the station and were ready.

The distance from Manchuria to Zhalainuoer was thirty kilometers, and it was at night, so there was no way the gunshots could not be heard.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled, arranged a comfortable position for himself, and lay down on the roof of the carriage.

The train entered the station and stopped slowly, and Maozi soldiers swarmed in.

Zhao Chuanxin, who was on the roof of the car, heard the sounds of cursing and rummaging coming from below.

The soldiers also rummaged through everything including the loading carriage where Zhao Chuanxin was.

Of course they found nothing.

After they all got off the train and lined up again at the station, the train started creaking.

Seeing how densely and neatly they were arranged, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't hold back anymore and took out Three Thousand M1907s from the space.

It would be a pity not to have a shot from such a good formation!

This is a rocket launcher he developed together with Benjamin Goldberg.

Fill up the ammunition, load it, carry the launch tube on your right shoulder, hold the small grip in your right hand, and fire it with your left hand.

A dazzling tail flame burst out from behind the launch tube on the top of the train, and the anti-personnel bombs whirled and flew towards the densely packed Tsarist Russian soldiers...

A lot of people were picking on me yesterday.

I have set up notification reminders so that everyone can see every monthly ticket issued. Except for a string of numbers that I couldn't remember, the rest of the regular voters remembered it, so that's why I saw the talking elbow.

Seeing everyone's fault, I was so scared that I worked overtime, broke my little finger, enlarged my prostate, and lost more than 70 hairs, so I wrote an extra chapter to apologize. Today I have two chapters. Thank you for all the votes and rewards. Brothers.
