During these few days, the rebels suffered heavy casualties and their numbers plummeted.

Some of the new additions to the wall grass, seeing that the wind was not in the right direction, and some secretly became deserters.

Sun Gongwu went to Vietnam, and he really went to buy weapons.

After the batch of Type 88 committees sent by Zhao Chuanxin was taken over by Sun Gongwu's people, they were supposed to be transported to Zhennanguan, but they were in Fangcheng and were detained by the French.

When Sun Gongwu heard the news, he couldn't help but be shocked.

At first, he thought that the place where it was easy to make mistakes was that when it was transported into Youfu Mountain, it was easy to be detected by the Qing army in the surrounding area.

I never expected that the French side would join in.

He was busy buying another batch of weapons in Vietnam, but was intercepted by the French in Vendon......

Seven days later, Huang Mingtang looked at the scarred and exhausted soldiers on the Zhennanguan Fort, and four big words floated in his heart - the general trend is gone.

He Wu said to Huang Mingtang: "Governor, the ammunition is running out, when will Mr. Sun's weapons arrive?" ”

He Wu, who originally liked to put on music, now has no image, his long braid is burned less, his eyebrows are burned, and there is a burn, his face is covered with black ash, but he has no time to clean it, and he looks very embarrassed.

Huang Mingtang snorted but couldn't answer.

After a while, he sighed: "Regret should not be credulous to Lu Rongting's house, so that there is a defeat today." ”

It turned out that Lu Rongting, the Pingxiang general of the Qing army, had expressed to Sun Gongwu that he intended to do it anyway.

Lu Rongting was originally born in the rivers and lakes, and he was used to meeting the source left and right.

He just put a smoke bomb on Sun Gongwu, and in the process of the rebel army's attack on Zhennan Pass, the only place where Lu Rongting was inclined to the rebel army was that he delayed the pace of counterattacking the rebel army at the beginning, and he had to obey until the Qing court ordered him to send troops.

Huang Mingtang looked through the window at the rebel soldiers who were staggering outside, and suddenly saw Shuangxi and Wang Long bandaging the wounded in them, and the two of them were very eye-catching among these people, because the two were uninjured and cleanly dressed.

Only then did I remember that because Shuangxi beat the Frenchman, he was idle by Sun Gongwu, and the "frustrating words" of Shuangxi and Wang Long that day made Huang Mingtang very angry, so he ignored them all the time, and also didn't let them participate in the battle.

Huang Mingtang turned to He Wu and said, "Get ready, we will retreat in the early morning." ”

He Wu's face was dejected.

I thought that this time would be successful, and his identity and status would change dramatically.

It turned out to be another failure.

He stood still, a little dazed.

Huang Mingtang shouted out the window, "Mr. Zhang, you come in." ”

Shuangxi looked up, instructed the wounded man, and took Wang Long into the house: "Governor Huang, what are you looking for?" ”

Huang Mingtang sighed: "I should have listened to you in the first place. ”

The biggest reason why he didn't listen to Double Happiness was that at that time, he and Sun Gongwu still hoped that Lu Rongting would betray the Qing Dynasty.

Now it seems that they were obviously played by Lu Rongting.

Wang Long was dissatisfied: "What kind of afterthought are you putting at this time?" ”

Huang Mingtang was not angry this time, and said with a wry smile: "In the early hours of tonight, we will retreat. Lest the Qing army obstruct it, a small team is needed. At the critical moment, I hope that the two of you can help and lead a team of more than ten or twenty people to delay the footsteps of the Qing army. ”

Double happiness was stunned.

This man...... It's really shameless.

Wang Long was even more furious: "What? Let us die, you run for your lives, right? ”

Huang Mingtang was speechless, and only pleaded for a moment before he pleaded: "Two, you have also seen it, there are countless wounded outside. If they can't delay for a moment or two, they won't be able to leave. The rebels need to keep the fire......"

Shuangxi frowned and pondered, and before Wang Long could continue to say anything, he interrupted and asked, "Is there a retreat plan?" ”

Huang Mingtang didn't expect it to be so far, so he shook his head.

Shuangxi came to the map, took out a pen and painted: "Directly dismantle a gap in the Zhennanguan Fort, copy the path, and retreat into the swallow mountain in Vietnam." If you can encounter weapons and ammunition in the backyard, you are not afraid of the Qing army's pursuit.

We will lead the team to resist the delay or two. ”

When Wang Long heard this, he kept silent.

He knew that Double Happiness must have had his plans.

Huang Mingtang looked at the map, and his eyes lit up: "Mr. Zhang really understands the battle formation." Thank you two, the rebels will not forget you, and Mr. Sun will not ......."

If you follow the method of double happiness, the probability of retreating from the whole body is increased by a few percent.

Shuangxi said coldly: "After I broke off, I didn't want you to remember. After I broke off, it was because of those local people, and the Qing military would inevitably retaliate against them. ”

Huang Mingtang's face showed a trace of shame, but it was fleeting.

Those who have achieved great things are not informal, and throughout history, the old and the new, casualties are inevitable, and they can only be wronged.

Shuangxi shook his head at this.

When he went out, Wang Long scolded and scolded: "These bourgeoises, who are extremely weak and can speak cold-bloodedly, are exactly the kind of hypocrites that Captain Zhao said." If they can do it, they won't be much better off in this world. ”

Double Happiness didn't speak.

He Wu followed.

He picked fifteen people for Double Happiness.

All of them were wounded, all of them were weak, not a single quick gun, all pistols, a pitiful lack of ammunition, and no supplies at all.

Wang Long smiled angrily: "You want us to die directly, right?" ”

He Wu was at a loss, but his mouth was stiff: "Don't you know that now the rebel army has run out of ammunition and food?" ”

Shuangxi pursed his lips and grabbed Wang Long, who wanted to beat people: "That's it, nothing to say." ”

……

Hong Kong Island.

Lee Kwang-jong kept a close eye on the development of the situation.

He has more than a dozen newspapers on his desk, which have reports about Zhennanguan and Zhao Chuanxin on Ao Island.

The newspaper published the news that Zhao Chuanxin prevented the Qing court from firing a cannon to apologize, and the author had a strong subjective emotion, saying: Gu Yan Zhao Chuanxin is a coward, and Yu Jiao thinks that Zhao Chuanxin is a hero in the world.

Later, a poem written by Zhao Chuanxin is also attached.

Li Guangzong smiled, Mr. can still write poems? Why haven't I seen him do this before?

Putting down the newspaper, he fell into deep thought.

Recently, the people of Hong Kong Island took to the streets and began to boycott Japanese goods, and radical merchants took out Japanese goods and piled them up on the side of the street and burned them.

I don't know if it's a spontaneous organization, or if someone is secretly fueling the trouble.

The boycott of Japanese goods soon spread, from Hong Kong Island, Guangdong, to Wuzhou, Nanning, Shanghai, the news spread to Nanyang, overseas Chinese have responded.

Japan's exports of goods to China have plummeted.

Li Guangzong witnessed the gloom on the faces of the Japanese businessmen.

This boycott of Japanese products is undoubtedly an awakening of national consciousness.

The people were no longer at the mercy of others, and the Qing court was cowardly, and they defended their dignity in their own way.

Li Guangzong felt this surging power.

He couldn't help but think of what Zhao Chuanxin had said to him: "Times have changed. ”

At this time, the toad boy hurriedly came: "The deputy head, the call from New York, it turned out to be Morgan, it was the Morgan with a fortune of hundreds of millions." ”

There was horror on his face.

He never imagined that he would be able to have a "close" contact with someone of Morgan's level.

This can blow for a lifetime.

Li Guangzong was very calm: "Take it and let me see." ”

Morgan is a fart, isn't he being treated by Mr.

Toad handed him the telegram, Li Guangzong looked at it, frowned and wrote the content of the reply first, and then wrote a telegram: "The second copy will be sent to Ao Island, and let people relay it to the master." ”

At this time, Benjamin Goldberg came with dry rice.

He said, "Uncle Li." When will Master come back? My sister is in a hurry to go home and see my little sister. ”

Li Guangzong listened to this foreign child's foreign words, and couldn't cry or laugh and said: "I have to wait, see if the new governor of Portugal listens or not." Sister Hua can go first, I will send someone to protect, it is almost time to arrive at the annual meeting of Lugang Town, and Xuantian Sect will send someone to communicate. ”

Benjamin Goldberg has traveled all over Hong Kong Island these days and feels that there is nothing new.

He said, "Master promised to take me all over China, but when he came back, he hit the back of his head with his busy foot. ”

Li Guangzong knew that Zhao Chuanxin valued this apprentice very much, so he said to Toad Boy: "Bring the letter, I'll fill in a few more words." ”

……

Jiu Ao Mountain.

Zhao Chuanxin has returned.

The snatching of the Nichen Maru, the scuttling of Japanese and Portuguese warships, the wounding of the ministers of the two countries, and the blocking of the Qing court from firing cannons to apologize for their crimes made Zhao Chuanxin's reputation skyrocket.

But for Zhao Chuanxin himself, this is just an inconsequential trifle.

However, the faith in the old sacred altar has been gathering too quickly lately.

Zhao Chuanxin lay on the chair, looked at the old sacred altar that was already full, and opened the holy light channel.

He got up, and in an instant, stood on the path 120 meters away, where the snot baby who was playing looked at Zhao Chuanxin who suddenly appeared, and was stunned one by one: "Uncle, when did you come?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin said happily: "Just came, you continue to play." ”

As he spoke, he broke a branch of the Du Ying tree and walked back with his hands behind his back.

A group of snotty babies followed, laughing and playing.

Zhao Chuanxin felt the faith converging from all directions, and saw that the liquid in the old sacred altar was condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it looked like a tenth of it in a moment.

By the time I walked back to the recliner, a third of the liquid had gathered.

He played with the old sacred altar in his hand, and according to the test just now, he used all his faith to open a holy light channel, which could flash at least a hundred and twenty meters away.

With his prestige at this time, the time to fill the old sacred altar should not exceed ten minutes, and as fast as five minutes.

The fly in the ointment is that the reserves of the old sacred altar are limited, and when it is full, the remaining power of faith will escape.

The common disease of human beings is that they are forgetful, and the Chinese people also like to make gods, and they prefer to step on two feet when the shrine collapses.

Zhao Chuanxin thought to himself: I don't know when, I will be forgotten, or the house will collapse.

While pondering, the blowing water horse hurriedly came with a telegram: "Master, there is your letter." ”

Zhao Chuanxin took it and saw that it was sent by Li Guangzong.

It is recorded above. The content of the telegram sent by Morgan, as well as Miao Cuihua's desire to return to Lugang Town to see her daughter, and Benjamin Goldberg's desire to "wander" China.

Morgan said: Mr. Zhao, I learned that Marconi's radio technology has its roots in Tesla, he invented the radio a long time ago, and he also knows that Marconi has stolen his methods, he just doesn't care. The Wardencliffe Tower he built was not for radio, it was a huge device that could absorb and output energy from the universe. He is a madman, and if the cosmic energy can really be harnessed, it will be a huge blow to you and me, and to the whole world. So I'm going to ask for your opinion, and I'm going to make it impossible for his experiments to go ahead.

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

Nikola Tesla didn't tell him that.

He also believed that the Worden Crevert Tower was merely a radio transmitter.

This is a typical example of not handing in homework, no wonder in the first place. Morgan divested.

Zhao Chuanxin also understood. Morgan's concerns.

If there really is any free cosmic energy, the first to suffer is Rockefeller and . Morgan, these old guys.

Whether it's oil, coal, or the trains, ships, factories, steel industry, and ...... that run on oil and coal. and all aspects of life must be reformed.

There is a good chance that the existing industrial landscape will be disrupted.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly brightened, no wonder in history. Morgan later tried his best to suppress Nikola Tesla.

He even did not hesitate to use his influence to erase all traces of Nikola Tesla from American textbooks, so that he remained unknown for a long time.

When he was in school, Zhao Chuanxin only knew about the great inventors Edison and Einstein, but he didn't know Nikola Tesla at all.

I see.

Although Zhao Chuanxin felt that absorbing the energy of the universe was a bit nonsense.

However, if there is even a little bit of success, I am afraid that it will also set off a huge wave.

Zhao Chuanxin can be the enemy of a few people, or one or two countries.

However, he can't be the enemy of the whole world, doesn't he have that ability?

He immediately wrote a letter: tell Nikola Tesla to stop the experiment immediately, but to come to China with all kinds of experimental data, immediately, immediately.

Handed the letter to Fumizuko: "Send a telegram to Lee Kwang-jong, he knows what to do." ”

In a place as glaring as New York, of course, this kind of experiment cannot be carried out.

But there are still some poor and remote areas in the country.

Zhao Chuanxin showed a sly smile.

As soon as the blowing water horse left, a thin young man was ushered in on Jiu'ao Mountain.

is not an outsider, it is Aixin Jueluo Zaizhen, who was once tied up by Zhao Chuanxin......
