The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Nicholas II received the news, but Putilov, who was lucky enough not to be captured by Zhao Chuanxin, did not receive it.

Therefore, when the military camp in Hyrule City rang with the buzzing sound of "Surf the gun but don't kill", he shuddered.

It seems that the courage brought by the belief in the Trinity failed to dispel the fear of the devil Zhao Chuanxin.

At this time, night had fallen, but Zhao Chuanxin rushed back to Hailar from Zha-Lantun without stopping to "persuade the surrender" of the defeated troops gathered here.

The prisoners released before had an effect at this time.

Putilov hurriedly found Wu Sadi: "What should I do? Zhao Chuanxin has called..."

Wu Sadi looked at the panicked major general and was speechless: "Are you sure that even if we fight now, we are fighting defensively, and we can't beat Zhao Chuanxin in a defensive war?"

These words gave Putilov a little confidence, but not much.

He hesitated: "To fight or not to fight? Fight, we are defeated, Zhao Chuanxin will not let us go. No fight, but if we don't fight, how do we know whether we can beat him?"

What if I win?

Just like the Russo-Japanese War, although they were at a disadvantage, the Japanese paid a huge price for the offensive. Tens of thousands of soldiers died. Their victory was not worthy of praise, and it was entirely based on human lives.

Nogi Nogi almost became mentally ill after the war.

In a defensive battle, they are still capable of fighting.

It's just that the morale in the army is low. It seems that the returning prisoners said something in the army, which caused many people to lose their will to fight.

Putilov had already sent people to pull up barbed wire and set up a dense minefield. He felt that even if he couldn't raise his morale, he would be able to fight.

Wu Sati naturally could not give an answer. He was not the Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, and he could not make the decision for Putilov.

Putilov made up his mind: "Let's give it a try."

Zhao Chuanxin also walks on two legs, and Zhao Chuanxin is also afraid of electricity.

If you walk too much, you will inevitably step on a thunderstorm; if you climb over the wall too much, you will inevitably get an electric shock.

The people of Hailar heard Zhao Chuanxin’s message.

It happened to be after tea and dinner, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Is it Zhao Chuanxin, the prefect of Lubin Prefecture, who wants to surrender?"

"Putilov has been defeated, the prefect is going to kill them all!"

"Isn't he afraid of Tsarist Russia's revenge? Tsarist Russia has tens of thousands of troops. Can the small Lubin Mansion stop it?"

They don't know that no matter how many people there are in Tsarist Russia, they can't be transported in at this time.

No matter how many guns there are, they still can't be transported in.

It was night, the moon was dark, the wind was high, and soon there was light snow.

The light snow turned into heavy snow after eight o'clock in the evening.

Zhao Chuanxin held a bayonet removed from Shui Lianzhu, wore a shadow cloak and walked on the ladder in the endless wind and snow in the sky.

He looked down and saw sparks shining from the barbed wire fence near the train station. It was a mouse trying to get through the gap that was scorched by electricity.

Zhao Chuanxin curled his lips in disdain, not to mention that he had already seen the tricks of the Maozi in the Russo-Japanese War, and Hu Da reminded him yesterday.

Hu Da seized a batch of landmines.

Putilov was very careful and had plenty of people inside and outside the courtyard.

He thought it was impossible for anyone to sneak in quietly from the dragnet. That was impossible.

He was writing a letter of apology to Nicholas II. The letter stated how strange the battle was and how the defeat was inexplicable. He only briefly mentioned his own shortcomings, but greatly emphasized how hateful Zhao Chuanxin was.

In short: crimes other than war.

When the door opened, Putilov was startled and turned back displeased: "Why don't you knock on the door?"

In the dark corner, it seemed that the dark curtain was opening, revealing Zhao Chuanxin's face.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth. He didn't understand Russian but guessed what he said: "I never knock when I enter a house."

The fountain pen in Putilov's hand fell to the ground with a clatter. It's a pity that the tip of the pen, which is quite expensive, broke.

"you you you……"

Zhao Chuanxin took off the shadow cloak, shook off the snowflakes stuck on it and put it away.

"Didn't you hear me surrender?"

Putilov was despairing.

How did he get in?

Yes, black magic.

The Shadow Cloak really is like the magic of legend.

Zhao Chuanxin dragged a chair, which made a harsh and unpleasant "squeaking" sound, came to Putilov, lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, reached out to pull out the letter paper on the table, and nailed it to the table with a bayonet.

This was a hardwood table, but the bayonet penetrated three points into the wood. Putilov's eyelids jumped wildly when he saw it.

This force can easily penetrate his skull.

Zhao Chuanxin asked him: "Can you speak English?"

"Yes, yes a little."

Putilov clicked his tongue and answered.

"It's really strange and strange that in our land of China, we actually have to communicate in English."

Putilov muttered, not knowing how to answer.

Zhao Chuanxin's fingers were clasped on the red sandalwood table, and cigarette ashes were scattered everywhere.

He said: "Do you know why you didn't die?"

Putilov sneered: "Maybe it's because I'm lucky."

"Lucky? Lucky that you can still talk to me face to face?"

"Ah this..." Putilov reluctantly mustered up the courage to say: "Mr. Zhao, please don't be impulsive. Is there anything we can't talk about? Besides, the form of war is changing with each passing day. Maybe one day our Tsarist Russia's military power will make Mr. Zhao unable to do so." If we don’t face it, maybe our weapons..."

Zhao Chuanxin blew a puff of cigarette into his face: "Face it? If you could make me look at it, wouldn't you face it earlier? What are you waiting for? Are you waiting to build a bigger cannon?"

"Zhao, Mr. Zhao, what do you want?" Putilov cried sadly.

He had no confidence at all to speak in front of Zhao Chuanxin.

They do have a huge 308mm caliber naval gun, but this is not the beach.

"I can't resist the attack of 20,000, 30,000, 50,000 or even more of you. However, I can drag you down. I can hinder your economy. I am better at causing trouble. I think you can see it too. arrive."

"Yes, Mr. Zhao really impressed me." I can't accept this.

Any blockade is just a piece of paper for Zhao Chuanxin.

For example, at this time, there are electrified barbed wire and landmines outside. How did Zhao Chuanxin come here?

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I let you live because I want you to persuade Nicholas II to give up his territory and not to go against me, otherwise I will drag down your Tsarist dynasty."

"This..." Nicholas II hesitated: "The reinforcements coming to the country are already on the way and are not under my control."

"It doesn't matter, they have been dispersed by me." Zhao Chuanxin said calmly.

But for Putilov it was like thunder in his ears: "What?"

He suddenly stood up.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand and pressed down: "Sit down, sit down, don't get excited. There are only 8,000 people, why are you excited?"

Putilov: "..."

He was really frustrated.

Unless Tsarist Russia is ready for a real war, gathering tens of thousands of troops to attack the border, and bringing numerous artillery to plow the court and sweep holes, leaving this land barren of grass, otherwise I am afraid that Zhao Chuanxin will really be unable to be controlled.

However, Putilov could imagine that Zhao Chuanxin would inevitably launch a crazy revenge.

The double superposition of the military expenses of the army and the huge losses caused by Zhao Chuanxin will make all the ministers of the imperial court ponder whether it is worth it.

Putilov sat up straight and said, "I will use my feelings and rationale to make His Majesty the Emperor and his ministers understand the choice."

"But before that." Zhao Chuanxin pointed at Putilov: "I want you to dismantle the mines and the barbed wire. I want you to disarm the Russian soldiers in Hailar. After you do this, I will ask you to dismantle the telegraph lines. Repair it so that things can communicate easily. Can this be done? If you can't do it, then I'll do it myself."

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin's murderous intent, Putilov immediately said: "I can, I can do it."

Zhao Chuanxin put the cigarette butt on the solid wood table and put it out.

After getting up, he put on the shadow cloak with a "hula" and disappeared into the darkness under Putilov's eyes.

Putilov shuddered again.

He wanted to tell Nicholas II that Zhao Chuanxin had black magic and that Zhao Chuanxin could go to Moscow and sneak into the palace quietly. He could really do it.

…

"Prefect, why don't you go to Moscow and kill Nicholas II? Now I think you can really do it." Yao Jia said, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

Zhang Shouzeng glared at him fiercely. He had never advocated such violent behavior.

Zhao Chuanxin was sitting in the government office drinking morning tea, swinging his legs and saying, "Why did you kill him? Isn't it good to let him live?"

"Okay?" Yao Jia didn't understand. How could Nicholas II be said to be good if he was so capable of causing trouble?

Since his coronation, he has intensified his desire to invade the Qing Dynasty.

Although Zhang Shouzeng did not advocate it, he did not think that keeping Nicholas II would be much better.

Zhao Chuanxin put down the tea cup and said: "In the body of Tsarist Russia, there is another soul that is still small and weak. Once this soul revives, you don't want to see how terrifying it is. When it takes over the body, we will If you think about it, I might have to weigh it carefully."

Zhang Shouzeng blinked: "Sir, you mean the people you asked me to contact?"

Zhao Chuanxin secretly asked him something.

"Yes, we must contact them in advance. While they are weak, we have to sign a secret agreement with them to stabilize the land we have recovered. It is possible that we can use money and weapons to buy more land. Otherwise, once they stand up, they will not be able to speak forcefully. It’s easy to handle.”

Except for Zhao Chuanxin, no one understood the terrifying power of that group of people.

Zhang Shouzeng nodded calmly.

Although he didn't think those people could achieve anything, just like he didn't think Sun Gongwu from the south could achieve anything.

It was only noon when news came from Chenba-Erhu, claiming that Putilov and all the Russian troops surrendered.

The whole Lubin Mansion was in a sensation.

"The prefect is mighty!"

"The prefect is invincible!"

"Long live the prefect..."

"Um...what are you talking about? Be careful!"

Zhao Chuanxin arrived at the Xinfu Yamen of Lubin Prefecture where all the talented people had arrived.

At the beginning, there were only a few cats and two dogs among the public officials, but now there are all of them.

Zhao Chuanxin stood on the podium and said: "At first I thought it would take a year, at least half a year, to take back the Hailar area. What happened? Song Xiaolian and Huang Shifu of the Hulun Military Preparation Road, Wu Sadi, the Russian Consul in Hailar, and you guys These people have been pushed step by step by the current situation to where they are today."

Zhao Chuanxin took out a large map: "Now from Dauria, the main railway line goes south to east, all the way through the Daxing-Anling Mountains to Zha-Lantunqian Station. From now on, they will all be under the jurisdiction of our Lubin Prefecture. Not only do we After regaining the land, we still need to extend it to 4,500 square kilometers."

Zhao Chuanxin listened to the heavy breathing below and said, "Everyone, you will be very busy next time. There is a long way to go."

Zhang Shouzeng pointed to the sudden appearance of an extra piece of land on the map: "Master Magistrate, although it is exciting to expand the territory, it is not easy to defend here..."

"There is no need to defend. In the subsequent negotiations, we will first get this land in name. As long as I, Zhao Chuanxin, serve in Lubin Mansion, the Russians will not be able to make any progress."

Domineering.

Yao Jia's eyes flickered, pointing to the west side of the map: "Taoke Taohu led the horse bandits to attack. We can't just let this matter go."

Zhao Chuanxin assigned the area around Qiaoba Mountain to Lubin Prefecture on the map: "This is a lush pasture, and I think it should be under the jurisdiction of Lubin Prefecture. We can wait until we stabilize this matter before we can bite off more than we can chew."

Yao Jia smiled knowingly.

Taoke Tao's intrusion became the best excuse for Lubin Mansion to blackmail people. Minister Cullen won't give it? He dares!

General Ulyasutai refused? He is the elder.

Zhao Chuanxin said to Zhang Shouzeng: "He Yan, you will take people to Hailar immediately. When the telegram is sent, the negotiations will begin."

Zhang Shouzeng is no longer the former Amen under Wu.

Opening up territory and expanding the territory, he also has a share of credit for this, and has the opportunity to leave his name in history!

He stood up excitedly: "I will not disappoint the prefect."

Little did he know, when the telegram was delivered, what fate would be waiting for him...

…

Repairs to some domestic telegraph lines and railway tracks were done by prisoners.

It was freezing cold, and the gray animals came in just in time.

When Zhao Chuanxin handed back part of the railway tracks in the Daxing-Anling Mountains to Putilov, the expressions on Putilov and Wu Sadi's faces were very exciting.

Horvath, the general manager of the Dongqing Railway Company, has long since fled. Currently, the person in charge of repairing the railway tracks here is Daniel, the deputy general manager.

Daniel's mouth was dry and he asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Mr. Zhao, what about the railway tracks in Siberia..."

"Oh, that part has been melted into a lump of iron a long time ago, don't worry about it." Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully.

Wu Sa Di remained silent.

He no longer had the capital to shout.

There is nothing wrong with Zhao Chuanxin here.

He took Shengfu and Bodigrel to hunt wild boars and pheasants.

It happened to have just snowed heavily, making it easy to follow the wild boar.

Bodigrile said: "Now that we have strong soldiers and horses, how can we hunt pigs with only thirty or forty people like in the past?"

After all, pig hunting is a dangerous business.

Because the snow was so deep that it was impossible to ride horses, so everyone wore high boots and trudged through the snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow. The horses were used to pull the sleds, and they were used to carry the pigs back after hunting.

Shengfu said: "When adults are here, why do we need so many people?"

Speaking of adults, Bodigrile wondered: "Where have you gone?"

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

Zhao Chuanxin came back on the Misty Traveler, took off his helmet, and a layer of white frost hung on the lips of the eye-opening hat in a moment.

"Come on, I caught a wild boar alive in front of you."

Alive...captured alive?

Everyone looked at each other.

When I got to the place, I saw that there was indeed a wild boar pupating in the snow. Because its four hooves were tied, it spread out over a large piece of snow.

Shengfu: "This..."

Is this something carbon-based organisms can do?

The wild boar is so scary, with its fangs bared, its body so majestic, and its body covered in pine oil. Even two or three strong men can't hold it down, and sometimes sharp arrows can't penetrate its skin. Of course, Zhao Chuanxin's heavy arrows are not here. List.

Not only was Zhao Chuanxin knocked down by it, but his hooves were also tied up?

It's so incredible.

A group of hunters looked at Zhao Chuanxin as if he were looking at a god.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "We will load the sled and transport one end back first."

How did he catch it?

The Misty Traveler stepped forward and drove the wild boars in circles. It was difficult for humans to run in the snow, and the same was true for the wild boars, but the Misty Traveler could "fly on the snow."

Zhao Chuanxin first made them exhausted to smooth out their brutality, and then unexpectedly grabbed the pig's ears from the side and pushed him over with his knees.

Whether they are wild boars or domestic pigs, their frontal strength is strong, but their side strength is average.

When Zhao Chuanxin was a child, he saw an adult man overturning a domestic pig from the side with brute force.

Most people think that domestic pigs are 100% incapable of beating wild boars, but the reality is surprising.

All in all, it can't be said that Zhao Chuanxin's dealing with wild boars is easy, it can only be said that it is a breeze. One pig, two bears and three tigers, wild boars are easier to deal with than bears and tigers.

The wild boar is powerful, and Zhao Chuanxin plus the violent armor and his own brute strength are even better.

It was still the same group of wild boars. Zhao Chuanxin chased after them and used the old method to topple another one, and the rest of the wild boars dispersed.

In one day, Zhao Chuanxin captured five animals alive.

"Let's go, that's it for today, let's continue tomorrow."

He wanted to send the wild boar to the capital before Zhang Shouzeng's negotiations were completed, to give it to Cixi, and to see her off as her time was running out.

There is strength in numbers, and all the telegraph lines in the Hylar region were repaired on Halloween in the Western calendar.

Wu Sati and Putilov were able to contact Moscow, discuss matters in the Hailar region with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then negotiate with Zhang Shouzeng.

Because the railway track section between Daxing and Anling Mountains was well preserved and repaired quickly by Zhao Chuanxin, it was now open to traffic.

Various reporters outside immediately bought tickets to enter Hailar.

On the streets of Hailar, foreign faces can be seen everywhere.

French, German, English, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and other languages ​​are intertwined.

However, it was George Lynch who was the first to report on the war.

George Lynch spent a lot of money to send a telegram reporting all the details of the war in Hyrule.

In the Times, chief writer George Lynch called this war: the Zhao-Russia War.

Yes, he put the word "Zhao" in front, not "Zhong" or "Qing".

This is very worth pondering for readers.

Beijing.

Yuan Xiangcheng read from the Times: This is a war that everyone thinks will be protracted, but there is not much suspense. Before the war even started, Zhao Chuanxin had already cut off the railways and telegraphs between Russia and Russia. The military strategist said that before the troops and horses moved, food and grass should be sent first, but Zhao Chuanxin cut off transportation and information before the troops and horses moved. Perhaps he learned this from the Japanese, but the Japanese did not do well enough, but Zhao Chuanxin performed exceptionally.

Yuan Xiangcheng rubbed his bare forehead and smiled bitterly, thinking that everyone understood the truth, but only Zhao Chuanxin could do this...

In the Forbidden City, Aixinjueluo Zaifeng was reading a newspaper to Cixi: On the Eastern Front battlefield, Zhao Chuanxin drove Major General Putilov's troops into the cold Hailar River by himself. I was fortunate enough to stand on both sides and witness the entire battle. Zhao Chuanxin first fired artillery on the sand dunes because he had stolen the artillery from various stations along the railway in advance. No one knew how he did it, just as no one knew how he carried the artillery around alone. Same……

Cixi's chest felt tight when she heard it. Even if the palace maid stroked her back, it was of no avail and could not relieve it.

She couldn't listen anymore, and waved her hands weakly and said: "Stop reading, stop reading, just tell me the result, who wins and who loses?"

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng pursed his lips and said with an intrusive voice: "Zhao Chuanxin has won a great victory."

Cixi's eyes were dizzy: "How is that possible?"

She was still hoping that Zhao Chuanxin would lose emotionally, but she didn't want to think about the consequences if Zhao Chuanxin lost.

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng stopped talking.

…

Ji-Lin, Niu Zihou asked his son Niu Hanzhang to read the newspaper to him.

Niu Hanzhang read: "Although I did not personally visit the battlefield on the northern front, I got the same information from the prisoners and the Gray Ax Cavalry Regiment - Zhao Chuanxin summoned thunder and lightning in the weather that was about to snow, and thick thunder and lightning frequently landed on the Russian army. There were scorched corpses everywhere, and the Russian soldiers were frightened and fled in all directions. Zhao Chuanxin caught up with the leader, Lieutenant Colonel Mikhail, killed Captain Leonid, and captured Mikhail alive..."

Niu Zihou blinked: "So, Zhao Chuanxin won?"

Niu Hanzhang smiled bitterly, remembering how Zhao Chuanxin held his neck and forced him all the way.

He's not even afraid of tens of thousands of Russian troops, let alone giving face to a young man like him. I think I was polite at first.

After all, that is the evil star that really kills people without blinking an eye!

And summoning thunder, isn’t this a magical method? How can ordinary people compare with gods?

He nodded: "Dad, Zhao Chuanxin won, and it was an undisputed victory."

Niu Zihou smiled: "I think Hailar is good. We should open a branch and go to Magistrate Zhao to seek business opportunities."

Niu Hanzhang: "..."

…

Hankou.

Liu Huaqiang and students from Juanwang Technical College were also reading newspapers.

"Mr. Zhao has won, Mr. Zhao has won..." Liu Huaqiang shouted while holding the newspaper in one hand and clenching his fist in the other.

In the college, waves of shouting overwhelmed one wave after another.

A student shouted: "Yesterday I saw a foreign boy in the concession. I just glanced at it twice, and the boy insulted me and said - you low-class people are worthy of looking at me? How long did Mr. Zhao leave? How dare they?" So? Now I don’t think any foreigner would dare to insult us?"

Liu Huaqiang's eyes narrowed when he heard this: "What? Is this happening? I have already joined the adjudication panel. That foreign boy dares to humiliate my classmate Liu Huaqiang. Does he have the strength? Tell me who he is!"

Originally Liu Huaqiang had been correcting Zhao Chuanxin that his name was not Liu Huaqiang, but at this time he completely changed his name, and now he is - Liu Huaqiang!

The student gritted his teeth and said, "I have already figured it out. The foreign boy is the son of the Consul General of Belgium. His name is Paul."

Liu Huaqiang's expression froze, he was afraid that this revenge would be difficult to avenge.
