In his memoirs in his later years, Stead wrote: Throughout my ten years of working in China, the most humiliating thing for me was to be robbed by a bandit, who was as fast as a gunner, humorous but often speechless, cruel and perverse, first knocked off two fingers of the groom, and then tied me to the side of the road, with a log stuck behind my back, which was written in a very ironic and insulting sense. I later learned that this practice is called: Insert the label and sell the head! This person claims to be a hybrid thunderbolt - Cheng Kun. Later, however, I assumed the post of U.S. Consul General in Mukden, and after many investigations and evidence collection, it was determined that this person should be a local private armed leader.

……

Zhao Chuanxin sat in the newly arrived four-wheeled carriage.

This carriage has thin wheels, small at the back and large at the front, and a two-horse-drawn carriage. There are pedals next to the carport, and there are fixed wind lamps at the front and rear for night driving.

Inside is a leather sofa, which is quite soft to sit on.

It's just that it's not comfortable to sit in front of the car, and the bumpy road is up and down.

But if you rob everything, you will naturally not give it up.

Not only was the carriage robbed, but the other party's weapons, bullets, money, and cameras in the cart were all taken away.

To be honest, none of the foreigners working in China are innocent.

After driving the carriage for a long time, he saw a group of people walking with their children and daughters in tow.

Seeing a "luxurious" carriage approaching, the people gave way in fear.

When it got closer, Zhao Chuanxin stopped the car.

"Are you hungry?"

The numb faces of the people showed a look of astonishment.

The adult didn't speak, and a little girl said crisply, "Hungry!" ”

This little girl has a round face, her bangs are pointed forward, and her big eyes are smart, Zhao Chuanxin has seen such a cute little girl for the first time, especially when she is not bound to her feet.

In Lugang Town, women are required to put their feet down, and foot binding is strictly forbidden.

There is no reason to speak, so I look at the gun in my hand before speaking.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a piece of steamed bun from his pocket and leaned over to hand it to the little girl, and then said to these people: "There is a place to go, there is no war, no hunger. Would you like to go? ”

People don't believe it.

In times of war and chaos, there is no war and no hunger, isn't that heaven?

Zhao Chuanxin took out a handful of silver dollars from his pocket at random, and the flash of silver dollars in the sun was intoxicating: "Want to do it?" If you are willing to go there, I, the Thunderbolt Player, will support you with some money for the journey. ”

Finally, the crowd was in an uproar.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chuanxin was happy: "It's more real than real gold." ”

In a short time, he scattered twenty silver dollars.

"I'll write you a note, and if you run into a bandit, I'll show them the note. If they can't read, then you can tell them that Captain Zhao of the Lugang Town Insurance Team asked you to go, and whoever dares to rob you Captain Zhao will settle accounts with him. If there are relatives and friends who want to escape the war, they all go to Lugang Town to find a way to live, and everyone spreads the news. ”

Seeing this group of people leave, Zhao Chuanxin encountered several waves of fleeing people one after another.

Some wanted to go elsewhere, while others wanted to take refuge in Shengjing.

No matter where he wants to go, as long as he says he will go to Lugang Town, he will pay for it.

The behavior of a boy who scattered wealth soon caused a gust of wind in Lugang Town within a radius of more than 100 miles.

As the king of Liaodi Mountain, Du Lisan received the news not long after.

What kind of mixed thunderbolt Cheng Kun, hacked a large amount of money from the Japanese, and robbed the Americans' carriages, and became a fortune boy along the way, giving money to the fleeing people everywhere, so that they could take refuge in Lugang Town.

Du Lisan's third lady was stunned and said: "This hybrid thunderbolt Cheng Kun, which number one person in the green forest?" Why haven't you heard of it? ”

Just listening to the name of the Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt, Du Lisan felt that he had someone's strong color.

After hearing what Lugang Town was, he immediately understood, and he said quite excitedly: "This person, that's what I said before, the captain of the insurance team in Lugangling Village, Zhao Chuanxin!" He is a very narrow person, and he names himself every day, what meteor chases the moon and chases the cicada in eight steps, what is a sword without blood Feng Xifan, what is the great mage outside the Guanwai......"

The third lady laughed: "This person is funny and tight." However, how do you say he did it, swallowing thousands of oceans right under the noses of the Japanese? ”

At this time, Du Lisan was a little unsure.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Perhaps, he really knows how to spell." Among all these names, only a little red and archmage are the loudest. ”

The third lady shook her head: "That's the ocean of white flowers, and if you say that you will scatter it to the people, you will scatter it to the people, tsk." ”

……

Dragon boat festival.

Zhao Chuanxin ate zongzi near Port Arthur and watched a big show by the way.

The Russian warships in the harbor were organizing a breakthrough, while the four battleships outside were intercepting, and the naval battle was quite lively.

The artillery comes and goes, and the sparks are everywhere.

Zhao Chuanxin chewed the zongzi and muttered: "Well, yes, yes, this cannon almost hit the battleship." Hmm, what's so special, I'll sink it with one shot......"

He was judging this point, and there were a few of his compatriots with timid and frightened faces next to him.

These compatriots were previously tied with pigtails by the Russian army, ready to transport strategic materials onto the ship, and Zhao Chuanxin killed them while they were working and rescued these people.

Everyone thought that he would take them away, but they didn't expect him to be bold enough to watch the Russo-Japanese naval battle here.

"That, can you give me a zongzi?"

A scrawny young man next to him asked.

Zhao Chuanxin put down the binoculars and said in surprise: "If you want to eat, you can take it, isn't there still in the bucket?" ”

When several people heard this, they reached out to grab it.

After a while, when Zhao Chuanxin held the binoculars and stretched out his hand to the bucket, he couldn't get the zongzi.

He said angrily: "Who told you to eat my rice dumplings? ”

A few people were dumbfounded: "Didn't you let us eat?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin said: "When did I say it? ”

A few people: "......"

I saw Zhao Chuanxin drop the binoculars: "Damn, it's nothing, I haven't rushed out a few times." ”

This battle still has to be fought, Maozi tried to break through but didn't succeed, and Togo Heihachiro took the battleship to stop them back.

At this time, the Maozi battleship in Port Arthur was already isolated, and they couldn't leave if they wanted to.

It can be said that little Japan has completely mastered the right to control the sea.

Zhao Chuanxin also patted his buttocks, got up and said, "You, come with me in the future and help me catch the car." A few of you, go to Lugang Town, and I'll give you two silver dollars as travel expenses. ”

Don't look at him like a boy who scatters money, the money is actually not much less.

While throwing money, he seized the supplies, and then resold the arms to Du Lisan, or Du Lisan helped match and sell them to others.

Zhao Chuanxin was lying in the carriage, and there was a crow standing next to him. Xingyue and Ganfan followed outside, and Ganfan was full of energy and often went to the front to explore the way.

After a while, the carriage came to a pavilion.

There is a subordinate of Du Lisan waiting here.

Li Guangzong, who was driving the car, reminded in a low voice: "Sir, we are here." ”

Li Guangzong was one of those people who was rescued by Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin got up, got out of the car and asked, "Is it Du Lizi who wants it this time, or someone else?" ”

Du Lisan's subordinates looked at Zhao Chuanxin with admiration in their eyes: "This time it's Zhang Zuolin." ”

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

But it's nothing, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Give money, guns and ammunition to take away." ”

The subordinate shook his head: "Zhang Zuolin said that he would trade face-to-face." ”
