However, all of this is based on Zhao Chuanxin's ability to defeat Tsarist Russia and let the world see his iron-blooded skills in protecting a land.
Everything Zhao Chuanxin said was something that no one had ever heard before.
It is still too novel and avant-garde in this era.
Zhang Shouzeng sighed inwardly that I am really talented.
Rebecca Levi looked at Zhao Chuanxin, and her eyes were almost watery.
Hu Da and Hu Er saw the other people's faces full of amazement, but they didn't know how serious they were.
Yao Jia stood up suddenly, "With such a big plan, how could the prefect let us stay out of it? Everyone is responsible for this and everyone must fight for it. If it happens, I don't think Mao Zi has anything to fear. You can't even talk down to us."
At this time, Zhang Shouzeng no longer wanted to look back.
If I go back to work for the court, I’m afraid I won’t be able to save myself.
Because the most important point is that Lubin Mansion cannot decay or fester.
The Qing court couldn't do it, but Zhao Chuanxin could do it because the stall was limited to one corner.
What happens in one corner of the country may affect the whole country and the whole country.
After thinking about this clearly, Zhang Shouzeng also stood up, "Yes, everyone has a responsibility, and the prefect cannot be left to work alone."
Hu Da and Hu Er stood up mechanically, but said no. Come up with four, five, six, because they don’t understand, but they still say, “My brother and you are working together”
Rebecca Levi said, “I will do whatever you ask me to do.”< /p>
Zhao Chuanxin is overjoyed and his morale is available.
Zhang Shouzeng is really useful. Zhao Chuanxin has a very, very important thing to entrust to him. Don’t forget that there is a group of forces in Tsarist Russia similar to the Sun rebels in the south. Zhang Shouzeng is a good opponent. The General Office of the Russian Negotiation Bureau deals with all forces in Russia, not just Tsarist Russia. Great powers always sign secret contracts, can't he, Zhao Chuanxin, also know it?
Yao Jia is very useful. He is so smart. It is easy to attract investment and tenders, but after all, it is too novel. Can it be done? To be convinced, one must look at his sharp tongue.
Rebecca Levi is useful, and Zhao Chuanxin needs her to be financially cautious.
Hu Da and Hu Er can also be of great use in the future.
Zhao Chuanxin slammed the table, "Today's matter must be kept confidential, including to the five-wing manager. You all come together, and be careful about what happens next."
Six people began the most insidious conspiracy against Tsarist Russia.
The Netherlands.
Under the protection of the guards, Wilhelmina met a fortune teller with Juliana in her arms.
This man was born in Nanyang. On Wilhelmina’s order, he was taken all the way from the colony to the Netherlands.
The fortune teller’s surname was Shen. He knew that the woman in front of him must have a great background, but to what extent he could not understand.
Wilhelmina said to him, "I heard that you are known locally as a divine fortune teller and are proficient in numerology. I want you to tell my daughter's fortune."
Shen Shensuan was twirling his beard and was just about to make some mystery when he heard Wilhelmina say again, "Although I don't understand, I can find many people who understand. If you dare to talk nonsense, no matter whether it is the Southeast Asian countries or the Netherlands, , I can make your life worse than death."
Shen Shensuan's expression suddenly changed.
He glanced at the guard with guns and ammunition not far away, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
As expected, she didn’t dare to say anything, so she said honestly, “Please tell me the daughter’s birthday.”
Wilhelmina said it.
Shen Shen pinched his fingers and his heart skipped a beat.
Not counting anything else, just the day Juliana was born was a very unlucky day.
All birth date and horoscope combinations are another story.
It has become his instinct to hesitate to tell the truth when dealing with rich people.
But as soon as some clues appeared on her face, she was seen through by this beautiful foreign woman with skin as fair as milk. She said coldly, "Your surname is Shen. Your ancestor was a Jinshi during the Qianlong period. He mainly used hexagrams and lines. Study the Book of Changes, but because you are an official and rarely practice it, your generation is fleeing overseas and attaches equal importance to practice and theory. This is why I want to tell lies, it is best to consider the consequences. ” p>
焯
Shen Shen gave up all his thoughts and no longer dared to be careless.
Even my ancestors found it, it’s really scary.
This woman has a lot of background
He laughed and said, "I don't dare, and the old man told the truth. Although the daughter is a woman, she has a chivalrous heart and will fight for the best in the future." In battle, the strong will defeat and help the weak, but if promoted by noble people, she will become famous. She is humorous, generous and ambitious. From now on, if she does good things, she will be remembered in history, but if she does bad things, she will be remembered forever, just because of her character. Extreme. She has a strange numerology, but as a woman, she has a career and is well supported by her father and brother. It may seem to others that she is very hard, but she enjoys it. Therefore, she has a noble life, but it is not obvious, and it is difficult to inherit the family. Although he has a lot of work, he can also have extraordinary bearing."
The more Wilhelmina listened, the uglier her face became.
What Shen Shensuan means is that although Juliana is a girl, she is more manly than men, restless and running around the world. If she hears that, she will be like her father, who will fight with others at every turn.
The four words "defeating the strong and helping the weak" are simply the best portrayal of Zhao Chuanxin's life.
But Juliana is a girl, how can she inherit his father's temper?
More importantly, Shen Shen said that her daughter would not be able to inherit the family business in the future.
Isn’t that true
Shen Shensuan noticed that Wilhelmina’s face was ugly, so he said sarcastically, “Our Shen family is quite good at judging faces and bones when it comes to my generation. Let me see my daughter.”
I thought, I’ll just say something nice later.
Those who have traveled across the ocean cannot do so in vain.
Wilhelmina opened the swaddle.
Shen Shen took a quick look and realized how young this little girl was.One month old, but she already has starry eyes and pink lips, but she doesn't look like a pure foreigner, but rather has the heroic spirit of a Chinese with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes
This appearance made him afraid to talk nonsense. It was obvious that this girl was not A stable master.
Moreover, the little girl neither cried nor laughed, staring at him with wide eyes and waving her clenched fists as if she wanted to hit someone.
This is simply not consistent with the numerology he calculated.
He touched the little girl’s head, face and body bones with his hands.
As a result, she scratched a bloody mark with her sharp fingernails.
The little girl raised her eyebrows, as if to say, who the hell are you talking to about Sosou?
Wilhelmina said, "Tell me the truth, just say nice things about me." I won't give you any reward."
Shen Shen, who was originally worried that it would be a waste of time, felt confident.
In this case, what else is there to hide?
"When you are born in summer, the god of gold enters the land of fire." He just wanted to show off his knowledge, but he immediately remembered that the foreign woman in front of him could not understand this, so he changed his mind and said, "You were born at noon, so fill in the word "no". , If you don't commit suicide and keep the child by your side, then the child will be rich and powerful. But the child has a tough life and is a little unfavorable to his father. He will bring disaster to his father, and he also has two evils, thirty-one and thirty-six. "Wilhelmina"
She didn't believe this before, but Zhao Chuanxin is Chinese and she became interested in Eastern mysticism. After much research, I heard that there were many very "divine" Chinese people in history. Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, etc. were almost mythical, but they were actually historical figures.
That’s why today happened.
After listening to Shen Shensuan’s words and finding out that the situation between her, Juliana and Zhao Chuanxin was true, I became even more convinced.
Wilhelmina gave Shen Shen a very generous reward.
Shen Shen was so happy that he couldn’t smile from ear to ear and kept saying thank you. He didn’t expect that he could make money by telling the truth even if it was ugly. If everyone in the world were so reasonable, how could there be liars?
Before leaving Before, he hesitated and asked, "Is this child's father a Chinese?"
Wilhelmina's eyes suddenly widened and she said coldly, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
After returning to the palace.
Wilhelmina's trusted maid asked, "Your Majesty, are we still going to the East? If we go, I have to prepare."
Wilhelmina remembered Shen Shensuan's words, "We won't go for the time being. ."
Manzhouli.
Putilov said to Wu Sadi, "We have received news that our telegraph circuit has been cut off and the railway has been destroyed. It was obviously Zhao Chuanxin who did it. This is the biggest disaster that hinders our interests in China." , must be eliminated."
Wu Sadi also said, "I happened to be contacted by Mongolians who were dissatisfied with Zhao Chuanxin. They were willing to organize a force of hundreds or thousands of people from the west and south. They need weapons, ammunition and money."
It would be easy to say in normal times, but now
Putilov said, "We can only give them a batch of old ordnance. The trains are blocked, the ordnance cannot be transported, and all the artillery is lost. If they are willing to help, just give it to them. If they are not willing, forget it."
Wu Sadi felt that Putilov had underestimated these Mongolians, so he said, "These horse bandits ride one person and two people, galloping back and forth in the grassland without leaving a trace. Their effect is far greater than you think. At the beginning, they Helping the Japanese fight with us has caused us to suffer heavy losses several times, so it is suitable to use it to deal with Zhao Chuanxin."
Putilov sneered and turned to Rudanov and Huo. Ervat said, "There is no point in negotiating now, and war is inevitable. Come with me to Hailar. Manchuria is no longer safe."
People in Lubin Mansion are afraid of the Tsarist Russian troops stationed in Manchuria. , but how could Putilov and others not be wary of Zhao Chuanxin
But he was worthy of Nicholas II's trusted military leader. Putilov also looked after Zixiong, with that arrogant spirit No one can hold him back when he comes up.
He stood up and said proudly, "Then, let me and Zhao Chuanxin compete on the battlefield. After this battle, we will take Manchuria into our hands. The Qing government is not shirking responsibility." Well, in that case, they will have no reason to stop him after the war."
Wu Sadi's eyes lit up.
If he could really include everything north of the Dalang-Oromu River into the territory, then his achievements as the consul in Hylar would be great.
He hurriedly said, "I will definitely communicate with all parties and cooperate with our military's actions."
On the other side, Song Xiaolian and Huang Shifu also said privately, "It seems that Zhang Shouzeng will not cooperate with Wu Sa Di has continued the negotiation, and there is no need for us to stay here. The telegram is blocked, and I don’t know what the situation is in Hulun City. Let’s go back.”
Huang Shifu nodded in agreement.
He has long wanted to leave.
He really didn’t want to stay in this place of right and wrong, the center of the vortex.
If that bitch Zhao Chuanxin gets angry and starts a fight, the guns will have no eyesight, and life and death will be unpredictable, which may cause disaster to the fish in the pond.
The two of them could not take the train, so they had to hire a carriage to drive back.
Arrived at Zhalainuoer, Song Xiaolian saw a mining area that was not affected by the shadow of war at all. Camels and carts came in and out to pull coal, and black water flowed out of a house and poured into a pool outside.
He said to the guard, "Go and ask what they are doing."
The guard rode over and asked about it, "Sir, they are washing coal. That building The dark pool is called the coal washing pool."
"Coal washing" Song Xiaolian and Huang Shifu looked at each other, "Does the coal still need to be washed?"
The guard replied based on what he heard, "Sir, they said washing." The washed coal is called clean coal, which can be used to make steel. The washed coal powder can be used for personal burning in the stove. The coal powder is mixed with clay and pressed on top of the coal. The fire is kept all night, and the next day it is opened with a drill. It can continue burning without rekindling the fire."
Steel-making furnace
Song Xiaolian and Huang Shifu know that several coal mines here have already.Zhao Chuanxin took it back from Tsarist Russia.
However, they previously thought that all the coal produced was sold to the Russians for use on trains.
But now that the train has stopped and they are washing coal and preparing to make steel, what is Zhao Chuanxin going to do?
Huang Shifu thought of a possibility. He said angrily, "Zhao Chuanxin" The coal mine really should be owned by Bingbeidao, but he gave it to the five-wing general manager. Now that he has to make steel, could he still want to imitate the imperial court's ordnance factory in Hankou to make firearms?"
His jealous eyes were red.
In a region, only one industry income can support the overall situation. The difficulty of coal mining in the grassland is low, and the tax alone is huge.
Zhao Chuanxin now controls a large area of pasture and cultivated land, and has driven away the Russian residents who occupied the land. It is foreseeable that next year there will be an explosion in the number of livestock, and the transaction volume of the Ganzhuer Temple Fair will reach a new high.
Coal mines, salt mines, logging industries, etc.
It’s all money.
Now we have to make steel again
This is enough to make Huang Shifu unimaginable.
If he knew all of Zhao Chuanxin's plans, he probably wouldn't even be jealous. That was beyond the scope of his understanding.
Song Xiaolian thought for a while and said, "Turn around and go to Hulun Lake."
Huang Shifu reminded, "Sir, things are not peaceful now, so it is better to go back early."
There are ten or eight of them. If they really fight, they won't be able to squeeze in between the two sides.
"It doesn't matter. I know Zhao Tanggong to some extent. If he really wants to fight now, he won't let Zhang Shouzeng delay the time. In addition, haven't you figured out why telegraphs and trains are blocked?"
Although the old guy always blows his beard and glares at you, he actually understands it in his heart.
"Could it be that Zhao Chuanxin did this?" Huang Shifu asked uncertainly.
"It must be so. Even if there is a fight, it will take time for Tsarist Russia to mobilize its army. If Zhao Tangong wants to win, he will also need time to arrange. It will not matter if he delays this moment."
While talking, the carriage arrived at the mouth of Hulun Lake.
The two got out of the car.
Huang Shifu pointed to the lake in surprise and said, "Look, sir."
He was referring to the fused quartz glass sentry box built by Zhao Chuanxin to guard Hulun Lake.
In the sunshine, the sentry box shines brightly, standing on the stone platform on the lake.
You can see the soldiers warming themselves over the fire and staring at the lake. Even the rifles at the soldiers' feet are clearly visible.
"This"
Song Xiaolian was shocked.
The main reason is that the current glass output is low and the transparency is not high.
A house that can be entirely covered with glass, no matter how big or small, is shocking to look at.
Song Xiaolian walked over there unconsciously.
As soon as they approached the narrow rock bridge, the soldiers from the sentry box came out and pointed their guns at this side: "Whoever stops, please stop, or I will shoot.""
Song Xiaolian's guards also raised their guns and pointed them at the soldiers, "Hurry up and put down your guns. ”
“Put it down, I’ll count to three. If you don’t put down the gun, I’ll shoot.” ”
“One”
“Two”
The soldier narrowed his eyes and moved his finger slightly, about to pull the trigger.
< p>Song Xiaolian immediately shouted: "Put down your guns!"This soldier is a subordinate of Brong'a, a Sauron, has a bad temper, and is very brave.
One person is not happy with ten people. Afraid.
Song Xiaolian stopped the guard in shock.
He shouted, "I am Song Xiaolian, a Taoist priest in Hulun. ”
The soldiers hesitated.
Before Zhao Chuanxin came, they initially obeyed the orders of the deputy capital commander. Order.
Song Xiaolian is still a deterrent to them.
But the soldier suddenly thought of Zhao Chuanxin's words: "No one is allowed to approach the post, not even when Cixi comes." "
So, he just lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly, but his tone was very tough, "Don't get close to the guard box, otherwise you will be killed without mercy. "
Song Xiaolian""
You are so awesome.
Even the soldiers and Taoists don't take it seriously
In fact, the Taoist priest of the Army Bei Dao is the deputy commander of the capital.
Huang Shifu was not happy and scolded, "Bold, Mr. Song is here, how dare you be rude to which wing's flag soldier you are?"
The soldier was not afraid, and said loudly, "Sauron's right wing, you can complain to our general manager, but you can't even think about going to the guard box without the order of the prefect."
The lake has not yet frozen, and we have not arrived at this time. During the winter hunt, there were only a few people wandering around.
The people were shocked when they saw this.
Hailaer has really changed. The soldiers only recognized the prefect of Lubin Prefecture and did not recognize the soldiers.
At the same time, I also felt that it was best not to steal fish in the future, otherwise I might be shot by these big-headed soldiers.
Song Xiaolian was only slightly unhappy. It was because the soldiers only recognized Zhao Chuanxin but not him, but he was not angry because of the soldiers' stubbornness.
He felt that these were qualified soldiers who obeyed the orders.
Leave these soldiers alone. What is the military quality? At least the prototype of a strong army is already in place. It is better than the new army in terms of orders and prohibitions.
He waved his hand and motioned Huang Shifu to stop talking.
He asked the soldier "Why." There is no one fishing. Is it possible for the magistrate Zhao to become a real fisherman and occupy such a big lake?"
Seeing that they could not come over, the soldier breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "It's not yet time for winter fishing. Wait until the lake surface When ice forms, fishing can only be done if it can withstand camels, horses and vehicles. But the fish tickets have been issued. "
"Fish Tickets" Song Xiaolian asked "What are fish tickets?"
"I don't know. "The soldier is very honest.
Song Xiaolian was thoughtful.
He said to the guard, "Let's go. When the war subsides, if Zhao Tangong is still alive, I want to see him. ofLubin Mansion. ”
Huang Shifu next to him trembled, but don’t expose the lie.
After several days, Yao Xingyuan finally arrived at Hailar.
He bought it again He bought a thick black bearskin hat for a horse, and once he put it on, he loved no one, and ignored anyone who expressed kindness to him on the road.
This is called being in trouble. A wise man.
In the past few days, Tsarist Russian cavalry have been passing by fiercely, each with a loaded gun and a murderous look on his face. Yao Xingyuan was frightened when he finally arrived at Hailar. His fingers were chapped, and his fingers were covered in frostbite.
He saw a stall selling rice porridge and shaomai, the milky pot tea, and the rotten mutton.
Especially the mutton, which was so delicious and delicious that he couldn't move.
He suffered a lot along the way, eating in the wind and exposure. .
He lost a horse and luggage, and the expenses on the road have already exceeded his expenses.
He is just an ordinary farmer, and the money is bleeding from his heart.
“Try this mutton, it’s so mushy and fragrant. "
Yao Xingyuan stared hard, his Adam's apple rolling, but he shook his head, "It's too fishy, I'll take another look." ”
He was reluctant to buy it, but he refused to show his timidity.
The vendor sneered, “It’s so fresh. How can there be mutton that doesn’t smell fishy? I’m afraid I don’t have money. Just say so.” . ”
Yao Xingyuan’s face turned red as he was squeezed out, and he remained silent.
At this time, he heard someone behind him say, “Yes, I just don’t have money, what do you do?”
The vendor saw a tall man wearing a thin robe with more than ten patches.
He curled his lips disdainfully, "You don't look like you are rich. What can you do if you don't have money?"
The tall man bared his teeth, "Yes, even if you don't have money, you still have to watch. Are you angry that the stall belongs to your family, so the road also belongs to your family?"
"You don't have money. I still feel that I am not glorious." The vendor was a little speechless by what he said, and racked his brains and added another sentence.
The tall man still bared his teeth and nodded, "Yes, I am very glorious and glorious without money, are you angry? I’m angry, I have no money and I’m proud. "
As he spoke, he raised his chest and raised his head with a proud face.
""The vendor simply didn't know what to say.
Yao Xingyuan was already stupid.
" p>
The tall man covered in patches is none other than Zhao Chuanxin.
"Zhao"
"You can't find any money even if you look down. The mutton sold by this piece of shit tastes so bad. It must be a skinny old sheep. We won't eat his meat. I'll take you to eat somewhere else. "
The hawker pinched his waist with both hands and became angry, "Go to eat somewhere else, can you afford it?"
"Hey, if I can't afford it, I will beg for food. I am honored to beg for food. "Happy, do you care?" Zhao Chuanxin's face was filled with anger, and he almost made the vendor angry.
"If you can't care, thenGo beg for food, you stinky beggars. ”
At this moment, a Sauron man passed by.
Zhao Chuanxin suddenly grabbed him.
The Sauron man recognized Zhao Chuanxin and was pleasantly surprised. He was about to shout.
Zhao Chuanxin winked at him, but the man was smart enough to swallow his words.
Zhao Chuanxin shouted, "This noble man, I'm going to say something." You look like you have money. Please give me some money so I can buy some meat. "
The mutton vendor sneered, "You are crazy about money. Anyone who begs for food will be given money to buy meat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sauron rummaged through his pockets. , all the money was given to Zhao Chuanxin, and he still asked "if it was enough"
The vendor ""
It was unscientific
Zhao Chuanxin took it. Money, went to another stall to buy mutton and handed it to Yao Xingyuan, "Look, there are still many good people in this world. We beggars don't need to set up a stall to sell mutton in the wind and sun. We can get rich by just going out to beg for food every day. "
Hawker"
Yao Xingyuan smiled with big yellow teeth.
All the anger along the way seemed to have been wiped out by Zhao Chuanxin.
Zhao Chuanxin came to Hailar in disguise to investigate the situation of Tsarist Russia’s reinforcement of troops, but he didn’t expect to meet his apprentice’s father.
