It is said that in the late Tang Dynasty, the Chinese began to use gunpowder weapons of various shapes in warfare, but most of them served to deter cavalry.
In the 17th century, grenadiers appeared in Europe for a while, and they were all the rage.
In the 19th century, with the rise of long-range guns, grenades were given a cold reception.
When Li Zhitao was "studying" outside the customs, he fought with the Japanese with the backwater army, and was accidentally hit by a thrown bomb.
In the Russo-Japanese War, relatively primitive grenades were used. After the war, grenades received certain attention from countries around the world.
But Zhao Chuanxin has never encountered him before.
The real rise of hand grenades will be their large-scale use in the trench warfare that emerged in World War I.
Hearing what Benjamin Goldberg said, Zhao Chuanxin flipped the wrench in his palm, and more pictures came to his mind.
He is already very strong, and with the bonus of Furious Armor, the distance he can throw with his arms may be further than an ordinary grenade launcher.
He unconsciously touched the old sacred altar hanging around his neck. What if a flash grenade appeared?
Seeing that it was getting late, he threw the wrench away and commanded the surrounding people. The student said, "Move the things into the house, don't leave the parts behind, and continue tomorrow."
A student said, "Dean, tomorrow night is New Year's Eve."
Zhao Chuanxin patted The forehead is "harmful, I haven't prepared new year's goods"
The people around who had time to watch were mostly wealthy gentry and merchants. When they heard this, they immediately started to make a fuss.
"Mr. Zhao, our Renyam Medicine Shop will give you two old wild ginseng to replenish your health"
"Mr. Zhao, our Xiaojiang Garden is willing to provide you with a pound of good tea"
< p>"Mr. Zhao, we will give you two fans in our Lantian room"Yuluzhai's roasted meat, Luo Tianyuan's hat, He Yujin's shoes, Niu Tongxing's scissors, Luo Mingde's ox candle, Wang Yuxia's Pastry Zhao Chuanxin was so noisy that his head was blown.
Nikola Tesla was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect that this murderous boss would have such great appeal in Hankou. With just a word, people would give him gifts willingly.
The enthusiasm was something he had never heard of before.
In the United States, I’m afraid no one would give him such enthusiastic gifts during Christmas.
The prosperity of Hankou at this time is really not inferior to that of Shanghai. The so-called five directions In the miscellaneous place, merchants are in their families, merchant ships are gathered in four groups, and goods are plentiful, including all kinds of foreign and gorgeous goods.
Someone shouted, "Mr. Zhao, the Japanese concession was hit by lightning several times today, killing and injuring more than ten people. Are you always casting spells?"
Zhao Chuanxin listened
Why were there so many mines, only a dozen of them were killed
This time he rarely went to the "crime scene" to observe the "masterpiece", and he didn't know the specific situation.
I was immediately disappointed.
But he said, "Hey, you man, don't talk nonsense, or I will sue you for slander. The Japanese are friends of the Qing Dynasty, how could I harm them?"As for the people, the Japanese are very generous. They give money and land. During the Chinese New Year, I even want to bring two pounds of oranges to my door to express my condolences. These Japanese people who were struck by lightning are really pitiful, hehehehe."
Everyone burst into laughter.
But they still suspected that it was Zhao Chuanxin, and someone continued to ask, "Mr. Zhao, what about you?" "Talking about why the Japanese were struck by lightning"
"Harm" Zhao Chuanxin said mysteriously, "I told you, please don't spread it randomly"
Nicholas I heard Benjamin Goldberg muttering in a low voice, "Isn't this just asking them to spread rumors?"
Nikola Tesla with a simple heart""
Zhao Chuanxin is a thief. Xixi said, "I heard that Japanese women run around carrying pillows on their backs. Do you know why?"
"Why"
"Because it is convenient for sleeping. Think about it, today I will sleep at my brother-in-law’s house, and tomorrow I will sleep at my uncle’s house. I will still be at my father-in-law’s place in the morning, and maybe I will go to my nephew in the evening.”
“Ouch”
People around The tone of his voice suddenly rose, and his eyes were bright.
Zhao Chuanxin straightened up and lit his cigarette. His voice was as mysterious as the smoke. "Tell me, who is a good person carrying a pillow everywhere every day?" Run away and besides, the Japanese Concession is full of brothels, good people will go there. So, God likes to strike down these bastards with lightning."
"Oh, so that's it."
" The Japanese take it seriously, it’s really disgusting."
Zhao Chuanxinjian aroused their interest. After finishing the rumor, he pushed the crowd and said, "Okay, okay, everyone, please stop blocking me and I want to go home. . "
"Mr. Zhao, it would be disrespectful to give you a small gift tomorrow"
"Okay, okay" Zhao Chuanxin said perfunctorily, "Shuan q, Shuan q, don't get out of my way." I'll cut you off."
Don't mention Zhao Chuanxin's return.
Only say that in Hankou, countless gossips spread.
Lightning fell from the sky during the day The matter of the ten people who died in the concession was already a hot topic.
And many people swore that they got the truth from Mr. Zhao.
"It was the real day of resignation." , The Stove Prince cannot ride so many of the bamboo horses that the common people of Hankou use. Mr. Zhao picked up a white horse with a silver saddle and a red flag covered with soap, and went to heaven to meet the gods. The eight treasures recommended by the gods and hundreds of guis were displayed, and Mr. Zhao was entertained. While drinking and drinking, Mr. Zhao reported the Japanese scandal to the gods. The gods were furious and sent down thunder."
In the evening, the story was spread by storytellers in restaurants and teahouses led by Xiaojiangyuan and Jingu. .
After polishing it, it has a nose and an eye.
There are many rich people in Hankou who are fascinated by it.
It seems that Zhao Chuanxinrang. The foreign powers had not yet fully enjoyed the matter of ceding territory and paying compensation, so they had to add fuel to the fire to make it more exciting.
The next day came, which was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month in the 33rd year of Guangxu's reign.
Because the twelfth lunar month is a small month this year, there is no thirty, and the night of the 29th is New Year's Eve.
There are three things in the streets and alleys.It is the biggest talking point for people in Hankou.
First, Zhao Chuanxin forced all concessions in Hankou to cede land and pay compensation.
Second, the Japanese Concession was struck by lightning.
Third, celebrate the New Year.
The Chinese New Year is a big event for the Chinese people.
In conjunction, each concession also attaches great importance to it.
Today, whether you are British, French, German, Russian, Belgian or American, you can’t help but look at Japanese people strangely when you see them.
Some were whispering, or covering their mouths and laughing.
The news quickly reached Eiji Asabuki’s ears.
The Japanese concession was struck by lightning yesterday, and Asabuki Eiji suspected that it was Zhao Chuanxin who did it.
Today, rumors have reached the Japanese Concession.
Asabuki Eiji was furious.
"Damn Zhao Chuanxin, even if he didn't do it, he still deserves death"
He didn't dare to go out of the Japanese concession to see people, because at this time the Japanese It has become a joke in Hankou.
People at this time attach great importance to reputation, both at home and abroad.
Not only that, but newspapers also reported this matter on the last day of the 33rd year of Guangxu's reign.
It is said that rumors stop only with the wise. In fact, rumors cannot be stopped unless they are forcibly controlled.
Zhao Chuanxin spread rumors yesterday and has forgotten them today.
He asked Liu Huaqiang to block outside Bagong Tongzi Tower to deal with the gentry and merchants who came to give gifts during the New Year.
Liu Huaqiang’s wife and mother have already been received at Tongzilou.
His wife has a fierce temper, and his mother’s hands are covered with calluses and she was born with a hard life.
Someone was busy with work, so Zhao Chuanxin was sitting on the recliner. When he heard the noise downstairs, he said, "Qiangzi's wife, go down and see what's going on outside. They don't stop even during the Chinese New Year. It's true." ."
"Hey, Mr. Zhao, let's go now."
Liu Huaqiang's wife is happy.
This year has been really solid. Not only did they not have to waste the family's money, but they also had all the new year's goods. Most importantly, Zhao Chuanxin gave their family a room on the third floor to live in.
This is a Western-style building, with chandeliers on the floor, large translucent glass windows, and brand-new furniture. Although it does not belong to them, it is worth the price of admission if you can live there for a few years.
After a while, Qiangzi’s wife ran up the stairs and said panting, “Mr. Zhao, there are many people down here. They are bringing dried pickles, cabbage, and potatoes to give to you. They say they want to pay homage.” Living Bodhisattva, please bless them with good weather and a fat boy next year. Some people are burning paper and burning incense.” Zhao Chuanxin seemed calm at first, but when he said it later, he became furious and said, “Zhuo, I’m not dead yet.” I'm in a hurry to burn paper, so why don't I put it down and save it first to tell Qiangzi that all the poor people's things will be given away, and whoever burns paper and incense in front of my house again will be beaten to death."
Qiangzi's mother hurriedly muttered, "Mr. Zhao, you can't talk about death during the New Year, it's unlucky."
With all the fuss, it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. please rememberCollection, the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
