Zhan Tianyou has always been respected, not only because he is the first engineer in China, but also because he is neither humble nor arrogant.

During the period of studying in the United States, other international students in the United States were walking on thin ice, timid and cowardly, but Zhan Tianyou was generous, not only until Yale University was a top student, but also had a wide range of hobbies, swimming, skating, fishing, baseball, ...... Especially like baseball, let the Yankees see that Chinese are not the sick men of East Asia, and baseball is better than them.

This kind of character that is neither humble nor arrogant runs through his life.

Another point is that in this era of turbulence and westward winds, other intellectuals are everywhere who think differently, and Zhan Tianyou is one of the few examples of growing old with his wife.

When Zhao Chuanxin was in elementary school, there was an article "Zhan Tianyou" in the textbook.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were many sanctimonious people, even if the "diary saints" Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang were still alive, if Zhao Chuanxin gave a little good face, he would lose. As for a feudal official like Zhao Erxun, Zhao Chuanxin can scare him.

However, from Zhan Tianyou's point of view, he can't afford to mess with Zhao Chuanxin at all......

This time he came to Hankou to inspect and prepare for the construction of the "Hanyue Railway", which coincided with the meeting, and was brought over by Sheng Xuanhuai to fill the number, but he did not expect to be treated differently by the legendary god of war (stirring stick) Zhao Chuanxin.

You must know that even Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhao Chuanxin are lukewarm.

"Mr. Zhao is overrated, how can he ...... in Xiade?"

If there was no one beside Zhao Chuanxin, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhan Tianyou's arm and walked into the conference hall: "Oh, Brother Zhan, don't be humble, you are my idol." Since I was a child, I have aspired to be a person like you, who has no moral blemish, who is of high character, who is strong and hardworking, and who is useful to society. To this day, I can proudly say that I did. ”

Dabanov and Sheng Xuanhuai glanced at each other and followed speechlessly.

Zhao Yixian listened to the toes of his toes and picked the ground - is it okay if you don't have anything to do with this?

The conference hall, with its tables, chairs and benches, was arranged in a tripartite camp posture.

Eiji Asaobuki, Aso Hisahide, and representatives of concessions from various countries sat on the east side, symbolizing the hosts......

Zhao Chuanxin himself is in the west.

Sheng Xuanhuai, who represented the Qing court's side, was in the middle.

This battle is very interesting.

After entering the door, the eyes cast by the great powers were almost like to breathe fire, some cowered, and some had some unconvinced faces...... And so on.

Zhao Chuanxin waved at them: "Hey, hello! ”

Nobody paid any attention to him.

Zhao Chuanxin said to Zhan Tianyou: "Brother Zhan, look at it, look at it, this is a foreigner, vulgar and rude, if it weren't for my broad-mindedness, I would have to turn my face on the spot." ”

Zhan Tianyou was a little sitting, echoing Zhao Chuanxin? He didn't dare. Against Zhao Chuanxin? He didn't dare even more.

So I could only smile awkwardly.

Zhao Yixian wanted to sit on the west side with Zhao Chuanxin, but Zhao Chuanxin gave him a look: "Don't sit in the wrong position." ”

Zhao Yixian was also very shrewd, his eyes rolled slightly, and he followed behind Sheng Xuanhuai.

Zhao Chuanxin sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, took out a cigar and lit it, and said to the person who brought the tea: "Get out, who knows if you have poisoned?" You dogs, you're very vicious. ”

The man stepped back with his tea bowl in his hand.

There were also representatives on the Russian side, but not Big Banov.

Gladia Banov didn't know what to think, so he set up a platform, and he stood on it like a referee, and said: "Everyone, be silent. ”

"The matter under discussion today involves the safety of the people and property of the people in the Hankow Concessions, and we should be extremely cautious. If Hankou loses the prosperity of the concession, it will be like a beam falling and folding, and those who will suddenly lose their dependence. Therefore, the tragedy is out and despicable. Banov mediates in the middle, and if there are disadvantages, he will be reformed......"

Balabala said it, but Zhao Chuanxin didn't listen to a word, and he was drowsy.

After a while, Big Banov looked up at the three sides and asked, "Do you have any objections?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin took out the fritters and powdered sugar he bought on the road, soaked them in them and ate them, and when he heard the words, he raised his head and said, "Since the victory and defeat have been divided, how much silver are you going to compensate me?" ”

Representatives of the Great Powers Concessions: "......"

Eiji Asabuki: "......"

Sheng Xuanhuai: "......"

Especially Sheng Xuanhuai, he was shocked by Zhao Chuanxin's greed, and even thought that the great powers would take out the silver?

Big Banov coughed: "Ahem, Mr. Zhao, I think you misunderstood......"

"Misunderstanding what?" Zhao Chuanxin swallowed the fritters and wiped the oil on his mouth and hands with a napkin: "Before, when the Qing court was defeated, wasn't it all land reparations?" Now that you have lost, you should also pay compensation for the land? ”

Velik Banov was dumbfounded: "Ah, this ......"

never expected that Zhao Chuanxin would have this theory.

Chao Blowing Eiji stood up impressively: "Contemptible Chao Blowing Eiji, I ......"

"Squirting Eiji?" Zhao Chuanxin was shocked: "How can there be such a dirty name in the world?" It simply subverted my three views! Could it be that your mother conceived you when she was at her happiest? ”

"......" Eiji Asaobuki didn't understand, why was his name dirty and dirty?

secretly scolded Zhao Chuanxin for not being able to spit out ivory.

He said unhappily: "Mr. Zhao, what kind of land reparation?" Now what I want to say is that you return the money from our Yokohama Shojin Bank......"

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him again: "Return? Squirting, it's not me talking about you, it's just the burial of the surname, why do you still like to joke? ”

Eiji Asaobuki was ridiculed for his surname, and he was annoyed in his heart: "Contemptible people never joke!" ”

"You're fucking the one next door." Zhao Chuanxin knocked over the pottery bowl in front of him and smashed it on the ground: "From the First Sino-Japanese War to the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, how many things have you Japanese snatched, don't you have a little pressure in your heart?" Those antiques, calligraphy and paintings, golden Buddha statues and so on, and 250 million taels of indemnity, all of them will be returned to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will give you the three million yen!

It's really unreasonable, obviously you have set the tone, whoever grabs it is whoever, and now you are going back on your word, what a villain's face, phew! ”

I blanched ......

Zhan Tianyou was stunned.

Zhao Chuanxin, who had just been full of spring breezy face, was full of swear words in an instant, and directly used the logic of bandits.

But why is it a little refreshing?

Eiji Asaobuki was sprayed with a pale face: "That's not the same ......"

"you paralyzed, Lao Tzu said the same is the same." Zhao Chuanxin slapped the table with a "clang", pointed at Dabanov and said: "Okay, you study it now, how will the four defeated countries of Britain, Japan, France, and Russia pay compensation?" ”

Bolshaya Banov: "......"

Is this a defeated country?

Why does that sound so harsh?

The representative of Belgium stood up: "Mr. Zhao, you are a bit strong......

Zhao Chuanxin looked at him coldly: "Britain, Japan and Russia have already died enough, why don't you Belgium also try what it's like to be a defeated country?" ”

The Belgian delegate stiffened and sat down.

Hankou had the least number of troops, and there was not even a single warship at Jiujiang.

Aso Jiuxiu looked at Sheng Xuanhuai, who was like an old monk: "Lord Sheng, Mr. Zhao is from the Qing Dynasty, what do you say about this?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin corrected: "I am Chinese, not Qingguo, don't be confused." Sheng Zuotang represents the Qing court, and he can't represent me Zhao Chuanxin! ”

Sheng Xuanhuai coughed: "Reckless and reckless, the land dragon snake." As Zhao Chuanxin said, he is not a citizen of my Qing Dynasty, and the laws of the Qing Dynasty cannot control his head. And your concession also has its own law, and it is not the turn of the imperial court to protect it. Unless, you return the concession, Sheng will inevitably use Chinese law to restrain Zhao Chuanxin, otherwise there is really nothing you can do......"

Aso Hisahide was furious: "As this robber said, my Japanese Empire sent troops to occupy Hankou, will Hankou be owned by my Japan?" You can't control the Qing Kingdom? ”

Sheng Xuanhuai is afraid of this, but in the final analysis, Cixi is afraid, and the country is weak and has no diplomacy.

He didn't say anything.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "Okay, how are you going to send troops over?" Is it to drive through the Central Plains to Hankow, or to use warships to transport troops from the sea? ”

There are many people who think that at this time, any industrial power can easily destroy Zhao Chuanxin and his power.

Most of the people who say this are stupid.

Any country that wants a large army to attack a certain place in the Qing Dynasty is suspected of a full-scale war, and he will face not only the Qing Dynasty, but also the rest of the powers. Unless, like the Eight-Nation Alliance, several countries will join forces to invade and divide up the benefits.

If the troops were to be transported from the sea into the inland river to reach Hankow, it would be tantamount to wishful thinking.

Who doesn't know the Zhao Chuanxin battleship?

When the time comes, even the boat and people will be buried at the bottom of the sea together, and it will be too late to cry.

Aso Hisahide gritted his teeth: "Zhao Chuanxin, do you want to provoke a war?" You're alone, and we're all six nations! You think about it, the Qing Dynasty can't withstand the wrath of our Six Kingdoms! ”

"War?" Zhao Chuanxin shrugged: "You guys, this mountain and river, for the time being, is still surnamed Aixin Jueluo, do you care about my bird business?" I have a grudge against Cixi, and you are very happy to beat her. ”

Sheng Xuanhuai: "......"

Li Weige and Zhan Tianyou contacted Zhao Chuanxin for the first time, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the words.

This person is bold and dares to say anything.

"You ......" Aso Hisahide was angry: "We are united by six countries, and we want to kill you at any cost, how can you survive?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin dusted off his cigarette ashes: "I just like the feeling of this threat flashing in my head, but leaving no trace, it's good." If you continue to call, I'm afraid that I won't be worthy of being called Zhao Chuanxin for a second. ”

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin didn't look like he was about to turn his face, Dabanov boldly said: "Mr. Zhao, you must understand that laws and business rules are the foundation of development that we need to tacitly abide by all over the world, and once they are destroyed, the consequences will be unimaginable. You have no reason to kill people at the Deming Hotel in the French Concession, and you have set off a bloody storm in the restaurant in the Russian Concession, is this inappropriate? ”

Zhao Chuanxin shook his cigar: "You said it wrong, I was punished." ”

"What is the punishment?"

"Discrimination! You have your laws, I have my laws, and the Qing has the laws of the Qing Dynasty. My law is that if foreigners discriminate against Chinese, foreigners will be punished. You don't allow Chinese to enter the restaurant in the Russian Concession, which violates Article 1 of the 'Zhao Chuanxin Law', so there is a death penalty. The French Concession is similar. I don't have any nonsense, even Americans now abide by the 'Zhao Chuan's salary law', I don't believe you can go to New York to have a look." ”

“……”

Is the "Zhao Chuan's salary method" okay?

Hisahide Aso shouted: "No one recognizes this kind of law!" ”

", Americans admit it."

It makes sense.

At the time of Zhao's departure from the United States, according to newspaper reports, New York had achieved real "freedom" and the wind of discrimination had greatly diminished.

At this time, Asao Fui Yingji coughed, got up and said: "Zhao Chuanxin, you swear that the Russian and French concessions have violated your laws, so our Japanese concession does not, but you not only killed in the Japanese concession, but also robbed the Yokohama Zhengjin Bank in the British concession, what can you say?" ”

Even if you use strong words, you have no excuse now, right?

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "It's okay if you don't mention it, as soon as you say Zhao, you will be angry......"
