Zhang Shouzeng wanted to say, if we can chat, let's chat; If you can't nag, I'll call Zhao Chuanxin, presumably you and him have common words, after all, you all like to shout and kill.

In a word, there is no electricity for Wu Sadigan.

Wu Sadi was choked and said hatefully: "You can't represent Zhao Chuanxin, what are you talking about?" ”

Zhang Shouzeng speculated about who was behind Wu Sadi.

Is it just the Tsarist Russian Ministry and the Eastern Railway Administration?

He thought about it for a while, and Zhao Chuanxin said a sentence that had spread in the grassland: Nicholas II can't protect you.

This sentence should reach the ears of Nicholas II, right?

Zhang Shouzeng really wanted to see what Nicholas II's expression would be.

He said: "Consul Wu Sadi, we don't have to fight-for-tat, I want to ask you, our theme today, is war or peace?" The war has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with the imperial court, it is a matter between your army and the prefect Zhao Chuanxin, I say unabashedly, you can lead the troops to encircle and suppress the Binfu, if you can capture Zhao Chuanxin alive, I can play the court and show merit for you. If you can't catch him, you will have to bear Zhao Chuanxin's revenge. I am not afraid that this word will reach his ears, for he will not want to see me. If it is peace, you and I can talk about it today. ”

Zhang Shouzeng's words did not conform to the language habits of the Chinese, and they were not tactful at all, which made Wu Sadi, a Russian, feel harsh when he heard it.

Zhang Shouzeng represented the Qing court, and Wu Sadi felt that he and Zhao Chuanxin must have fallen out.

Thinking like this, I inexplicably felt that they were standing on the same front.

Wu Sadi's tone softened a lot: "General Manager Zhang, we are suffering from Zhao Chuanxin, even if we don't raise troops, we have to compensate for it, right?" ”

Zhang Shouzeng's heart was beating wildly.

He understood, and it seemed that Tsarist Russia really didn't dare to poke the hornet's nest.

Because Zhao Chuanxin is really not afraid of threats, you can kill people casually, anyway, Lao Tzu will retaliate back.

Wu Sadi is now just trying to take the opportunity to make some benefits.

Zhang Shouzeng shook his head: "Zhao Chuanxin is a person, arbitrary and alone. He couldn't rub sand in his eyes. Not only will I not be able to compensate you, but I will also remind you that the Russians in the Hailar area had better move away, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Wu Sadi exploded when he heard it.

It has always been their Tsarist Russia that has gained an inch, but now it is good, not only did they not compensate, but they also had to kill them all, right?

He said with a gloomy face: "General Manager Zhang, Zhao Chuanxin killed our people, aren't you afraid that we will follow him?" ”

We can kill you civilians too.

Zhang Shouzeng took a fused silica glass bottle and took a sip of water.

Wu Sadi thinks this bottle is very good-looking.

But if he knew where the bottle came from, he probably wouldn't be calm.

Zhang Shouzeng said with a wry smile: "I don't think that Zhao Chuanxin really cares about the survival of the people of the Five Wings. Even if you kill all the people, you will only provoke him. He is still making waves on our soil at this time, and if you provoke him, do you think he will cross the Ergun River and go to the territory of Russia? Remember? You gave him the nickname "The Butcher of the Far East." You might as well make a bold guess, will he go to Moscow or not? Can you really stop him? I'm not afraid to tell you that at that time I was in Hulun when I received a telegram from Zhao Chuanxin in Manchuria. Only a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Chuanxin arrived at Hulun Bingbei Road. You and I boldly assume, how long will it take for Zhao Chuanxin to go to Moscow? A day and a night? Two days? ”

Wu Sadi listened with sweat.

This already posed a real threat to Nicholas II.

At least for the military and civilians of Moscow, there is a great threat.

"He is the public enemy of the whole world, and if he does this, he will make the whole world panic all day, and he will defy the condemnation of the world, and he will die without a place to be buried......"

How do you listen to it, it means a little impotent and furious?

Zhang Shouzeng is funny.

But he pretended to be serious and said: "Of course, whether he can or not, whether he will be able to, it is not easy to make a conclusion at this time." However, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Let's make bold assumptions and verify carefully. ”

After saying that, he wanted to be happy. Make bold assumptions, be careful to verify, this sentence was said by someone.

Wu Sadi: "......"

Wu Sadi took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions: "We can not blame the past, or even not compensation." However, I need to make assurances that we will restore order to the railways. ”

He is also particular about what he says, fighting for it first, and then taking a step back.

Anyone who still wants to make a face, such a regression, will definitely have to compromise.

However, Zhang Shouzeng said: "Before I came, I talked to Zhao Chuanxin. He said that in Hailar, only railway workers are allowed, and not a single Tsarist soldier is allowed. He couldn't control the rest of the place, but he would never allow it in his territory, just like he once did in Lugang Town, and not a single Japanese soldier was allowed to exist around. ”

Wu Sadi's eyes widened: "Dream! ”

"Please calm down, Consul Wu Sadi, this is not what I said, it is Zhao Chuanxin's original words."

Wu Sadi's chest heaved.

It's too bullying.

He didn't think about it, did Tsarist Russia deploy troops to the territory of the Qing Dynasty, did they bully people?

He said coldly: "It seems that things can't end decently, there is only one battle!" ”

Zhang Shouzeng's heart sank to the bottom.

In fact, before he came, he had communicated with Zhao Chuanxin, and it was an open and honest communication.

The relationship between the two is not as broken as he appears.

Many of the things he said just now were taught by Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin told him very firmly: "If you say so, I promise it's okay." Am I barefoot afraid of wearing shoes? They don't dare to really start a full-scale war, otherwise do you think the Japanese will sit idly by? The Japanese hate me, but the Japanese are even more reluctant to see Tsarist Russia sit on the throne, and the Japanese wish that I and Tsarist Russia would lose both. Take 10,000 steps back, the Tsarist army will burn and loot the border, then it will become a mortal enemy with the people of the five wings, and I will not be the prefect, and I will take the steppe men to fight guerrilla attacks with Tsarist Russia, believe me, I will drag them to death in this one-third of an acre, and they will not be able to do anything in the future. ”

Now after listening to Wu Sadi's words, Zhang Shouzeng felt that Zhao Chuanxin was too confident and played away.

Don't look at Wu Sadi's anger, but the old fox secretly observed Zhang Shouzeng's reaction.

When he saw that he didn't belong, he sneered in his heart and pretended to get up: "There's nothing more to say, then let's prepare for war." ”

This time it was Zhang Shouzeng's turn to be anxious: "Wait......"

Wu Sadi pretended to be impatient: "What else is the matter?" ”

Zhang Shouzeng took another sip of water to stabilize his mind: "Consul Wu Sadi, although I can't represent Zhao Chuanxin, I have the right to suggest." I have a proposal for you and me to take a step back. Along the railway line, your country is not allowed to send troops to patrol. There are only Manchurian-Chali and Hailar stations, and you can only station troops at two stations. ”

"What about the Zarai-Noor mine?" Wu Sa stared at Zhang Shouzeng.

Zhang Shouzeng was anxious: "There is no room for negotiation where Zhao Chuan's salary must be recovered." If Consul Wu Sadi forcibly occupies the mine, then there is really only war! ”

Wu Sadi looked at him and waved his hand: "You go back first, we need to discuss." ”

……

Huang Shifu didn't leave, and he was still working with Zhao Chuanxin about ink.

He was hell-bent on taking away five-sixths of the tax dollars.

Zhao Chuanxin is tinkering with some gadgets.

He made an iron plate, not much bigger than a palm, with a frame around it.

A piece of cut sea paper fits just enough into the frame.

The iron birch tree that would spark with an axe was easily carved out of the shape of the frame by Zhao Chuanxin with an elf carving knife, and several seals were made.

Ink dipped in the ink sac and pressed on sea paper to print characters and patterns.

It's a primitive printing device.

Huang Shifu didn't say hello either, and when he saw Zhao Chuanxin like this after entering the door, he sneered: "Strange skills, the so-called official business of the prefect is like this." ”

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "What is the trick and trick, maybe I will still want the wine pool meat forest in the future." I married three thousand concubines, and I was a groom every night, and I played hide and seek with them every day. Oops, stinging, jolly. ”

In Zhao Chuanxin's view, there are four realms in life. First, if you are stupid, others will be stupid. Second, I am not stupid, others are stupid, but I have to be thankless to remind others. Third, stop reminding others. Fourth, don't pretend to be stupid.

It's good that the whole world is a fool who is self-satisfied, and he makes a fortune in silence. Otherwise, remind the fool, the fool has to be sarcastic - the whole world is stupid, you are a smart person, right?

"You ......" Huang Shifu has never seen such a brazen person.

Zhao Chuanxin put away his things and packed them for Rebecca Levy.

At this time, Yang Sanda came over and said, "Prefect, there is a leader of Jigar Niu Luzuo who came and threatened to say that he was the one who came to ask for him. ”

Zhao Chuanxin nodded at the table: "Explain it, who do you want?" Forget it, let him in. ”

There are countless small chores to attend to every day.

There are some things that would not have required Zhao Chuanxin to come forward.

But when the government was newly established, he needed to lead the atmosphere, so he did many things himself.

"Lord Prefect, our Niudan Jurmit of Niu Lu has been arrested by you, please return the person." This assistant leader is quite unkind.

"Who are you talking about? When was it caught? ”

Zuo Ling stiffened his neck: "You caught it." ”

Yang Sanda was very discerning, and immediately went out to ask a few questions, and came back and said: "The prefect is the thief who was arrested at the temple fair, and the leader is called Xidan Zhurmit, who is a person from Jigar Niulu." ”

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Zuo Ling quietly: "Why did you release people?" He was arrested for stealing and is being held in custody until he is released at the end of his sentence. ”

"I heard, he just stole Russians, what can be wrong with that?"

Zhao Chuanxin smiled when he heard this: "It's right for him to go to the Russian territory to steal the Russians, but it's not okay for him to come to my territory to steal the Russians, can you understand?" ”

"Do you want to let people go?"

Zhao Chuanxin restrained his smile: "If you talk to me again, I'll twist your head off." ”

Zuo Ling turned his head and left: "Let's see." ”

Huang Shifu, who hadn't left yet, said: "See, this is Mengren, I don't know how to be humble." ”

Zhao Chuanxin got up and said to Yang Sangdaxi: "I'll go out, and I will find Mr. Yao for civil affairs and Zhana for military affairs." ”

Ignoring Huang Shifu, he paced out the door.

Huang Shifu still wanted to go out with him, but Zhao Chuanxin didn't look fast, and when he went out, he was gone.

Zhao Chuanxin walked all the way east, inspected along the railway, and really saw that except for the railway workers, there was no road escort team.

All the way to Zhala-Nuoer, countless camel carts, empty carts into the mine, full of loads, heading in the direction of Manchuria-Zhouli.

Zhao Chuanxin's teeth itched.

Zhang Shouzeng begged him to wait, but Zhao Chuanxin had already agreed, so he pressed it.

But he went into the mine to investigate.

No one stopped him.

He went all the way inside, and when he saw a warehouse, he opened the door and went in to see.

Bundles of copper wire were found piled up in the warehouse.

At this time, someone behind him shouted, "What are you doing?" Who let you in? ”

Zhao Chuanxin turned around and looked at this person: "How many copper wires are there?" ”

The person who came was a Russian, and he was a little confused by Zhao Chuanxin's question: "There are a lot of them, who are you?" ”

"Where's the rest?"

"Answer my question quickly......"

This person opened his teeth and claws, and walked towards Zhao Chuanxin fiercely.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't talk nonsense, and went over with an uppercut.

The man's head was tilted back, and his nose was bleeding.

Zhao Chuanxin continued to ask: "Where are the rest of the copper wires?" ”

The other party's head was dizzy and shaky, but he was even angrier and charged towards Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his legs, and one was kicking.

How did he get here and how did he get back.

Zhao Chuanxin walked slowly, grabbed his hair, and made three hooks in the lower abdomen.

The man was beaten and wailed.

"Ask you again, where is the rest of the copper wires?"

"In, in the warehouse of the Poranikov No. 2 mine."

I'm also afraid of pain, and I'm also afraid of electricity.

Zhao Chuanxin held down his head and slammed it against the wall.

Boom.

The man was limp to the ground.

Didn't die, just fainted.

Zhao Chuanxin loaded up the copper wire, went out, and headed towards the Bolao Nigov No. 2 Mine with his hands.

The warehouse gatekeeper stopped him: "Stop......"

Zhao Chuanxin has a whip leg.

Syllable.

Fall asleep.

Sure enough, there are mountains of copper wires here, too.

Zhao Chuanxin collected all the lines.

I went to the railway line along the Hailar River again and confirmed that there was no road escort.

But on the north bank of the river, he saw the Russians mowing the grass.

Zhao Chuanxin thought about it and didn't care about it for the time being.

It just so happened that a train came whining, spewing white smoke, and the front of the train was as ugly as a steel beast.

Zhao Chuanxin jumped off the railroad tracks and hid aside.

He saw the arrogant face of the train driver, the probing of the passengers behind him, and the people pointing at him.

Zhao Chuanxin put his hands in his pockets, watched the train pass slowly with a cigarette in his mouth, and then turned around.

Hu Da is training with more than 100 soldiers on the left wing of Xinba Erhu.

The content of the training is basically the same as what he learned in the New Army, formation, gun stance, shooting, and so on.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that most of the people couldn't distinguish between their left and right feet when they walked in line, and it was common for them to turn around.

He wanted a fighting army, and it might be a long way off.

This kind of soldier who has not even mastered the most basic military literacy, Zhao Chuanxin does not want to hone it himself.

The soldiers of the five wings took turns to train in the province, while the rest patrolled the various Karons.

A large amount of copper wire was unloaded into the warehouse in the backyard of the province.

Rebecca Levi said to him: "Ethan, you said you want to register your identity, I think this paper is waterproof, wear-resistant, and the handwriting has the characteristics of protrusion, why not use it as proof of identity?" ”

She handed a piece of sea paper to Zhao Chuanxin.

A few words are neatly written on the letterhead of the sea paper: proof of identity.

Under the Chinese character is Mongolian.

Further down, name: Yang Sang Daxi.

Suffix Mongolian.

Below is written the date of birth, gender, nationality, height, address, and the most peculiar shape of the hand-printed bucket, which is represented by X and O.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the identity certificate and said: "Don't have so many lines and grids, it looks dizzy, and it should be clear at a glance." Forget it, I'll make you an engraving, print it in batches, and the follow-up content only needs to be filled. ”

Or iron birch, carved out of the formwork.

Dip the ink, put the paper into the iron grid, and the template just snaps in, so that it will not be printed crookedly.

Neat regular script, name, age, date of birth, gender, nationality, height, address, handprint, bucket shape......

The Chinese suffix is Mongolian, from left to right, at a glance.

The handwriting is very thin, so the paper is not large.

Rebecca Levi looked at it and felt that it was easy to lose, so she took a thin board of wood and glued it on.

A hard card ID document is formed.

Why do I need an ID?

This is to pave the way for Zhao Chuanxin's follow-up plan.

The government and goods bureau will have the power to issue all kinds of approval bills, but the power to print bills is in the hands of the accounting office.

If it is ordinary printing, this power is dispensable.

But with the use of sea paper and ink sacs, this power is equivalent to the power that cannot be copied, and this is the only one.

Zhao Chuanxin was on the train and asked "me" to lead people to salvage a huge amount of sea paper for many days, and it would not be used up for several years.

The patrol police bureau has the power to inspect the bills, and the inspection of the bills needs to be accompanied by identification, so that the bills cannot be bought and sold at will.

Zhao Chuanxin blocked all kinds of loopholes that could be drilled, and he didn't believe in this game of chess.

In the evening, Zhang Shouzeng returned.

During the meal, Zhao Chuanxin asked him, "How is the chatter?" ”

Zhang Shouzeng said with a little embarrassment: "The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, it seems that I was overshadowed by the old fox Wu Sadi......"

He recounted the negotiation between the two during the day.

When Wu Sa Ding pretended to go to war, Zhang Shouzeng was still frightened and finally relented and let them station troops in Manchuria-li and Hailar.

It was only a three-day deadline for Wu Sadi to lead the Russian people to retreat, but the two did not reach an agreement on this matter.

When he came back, the more Wu Sadi thought about it, the more he felt deceived, and felt that Wu Sadi was actually cheating him.

He was right.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not a big problem, you can't eat fat people in one bite, let them entrench in the two places for the time being, and I'll slowly clean them up when they stabilize." However, can the Russian side say when they will evacuate the Russian people in the territory? ”

Zhang Shouzeng actually explained to Zhao Chuanxin.

Seeing that he didn't blame, he was inexplicably grateful in his heart.

"Wu Sadi said within a month."

"!" Zhao Chuanxin dismissed: "The deadline is three days, and if you don't leave, I will drive you away by force." ”

"This ......" Zhang Shouzeng had just entered the house, and he hurried out again, changing his horse and galloping towards Manchuria.

The role of the Qing court in using Zhang Shouzeng to restrain Zhao Chuanxin has completely disappeared, and now all he can do for the court is to try to calm the war.

It is also a matter of breaking his leg for this.

When he told Wu Sadi the news, Wu Sadi was noncommittal, and at the same time told him a piece of news.

During the day, some people went to the Zhala-Noel mine in large numbers and grabbed copper wires of great value.

Zhang Shouzeng hurriedly returned to Yubin Mansion and told Zhao Chuanxin about the matter: "Prefect, if we let them withdraw their troops, then we will take the responsibility of public security." ”

"yes, got it." Zhao Chuanxin said lightly.

After dinner, when Zhang Shouzeng went to the backyard, he saw the warehouse door open. He took a look at the wind lamp and saw a large amount of copper wire piled up inside......

Zhang Shouzeng: "......"

The emotional thief is Zhao Chuanxin.

……

Because there are people who come to work with their children, Yao Bing has been having a lot of fun these days.

I don't have so many playmates at home.

I was drowsy after eating every night.

Zhao Chuanxin sat on the kang tip, and saw Yao Bing sitting, his head clicking.

Sure enough, I didn't carry it once, and when I nodded, I fell to the ground.

Zhao Chuanxin had already been prepared, his eyes were quick and he held on.

Yao Bing woke himself up.

"Sleep when you're sleepy, what are you insisting on here?"

"Auntie told me to go to sleep after peeing, or else I will pee on the kang."

"Then you go pee."

"I can't pee."

Zhao Chuanxin took off his clothes and stuffed him into the quilt: "Sleep, you can't pee on the kang." ”

When Yao Bing fell asleep, he took out the "Old God Codex".

[We have finally arrived at the Green Port of the Cursed Desert. 】

[On one side of the bare red cliff shore, there is a spring that appears out of thin air, and the waterfall that flows into the sea is high, and I can't even understand where the water comes from. 】

[The side should be lower, lush, and vigorous, forming a huge contrast with the cliff shore where no grass grows. The stairs and paths made of loess and stone are crisscrossed by staggered crisscrosses. 】

[The whole port is full of people. 】

When we came ashore, we were immediately swept away by this great passion. 】

[We can feel the hot wind blowing from the desert, and we can also feel the coolness of the sea breeze, ice and fire. 】

[Hawkers peddling melons and fruits of different shapes, girls in cool clothes making drinks on the street, nobles wearing scarves and masked faces hurrying by, bookstores in small khaki houses, residents leading a huge black glittering beetle to the street, artists playing with huge bone instruments...... We almost think we're in another world. 】

[The craftsman told me: This is a window connecting the islands and the two continents, don't shop here easily, or you will regret it.] 】

[A reminder from the craftsman is very necessary. 】

[Because I, my brother and sister, and the elven scouts, have been attracted to all kinds of goods. Those priceless treasures are randomly placed on street stalls, waiting for someone to occupy them. 】

[I saw all kinds of insect silk products, and I also saw the legendary rune fragments. 】

[I asked the price, and the most ordinary worm silk that was only the size of a palm cost thousands of gold coins. In the case of rune fragments, it will take tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. I touched my shriveled wallet, and the shyness in the bag made me afraid to stay here for a long time, for fear that I would not pay attention, and I would spend the last bit of travel money. 】

[The craftsman said: In addition to gold coins, various gems also have a monetary function. Of course, we can't get any gems out of our poor jingle now. 】

[Then I saw the friar buy a scimitar with precious stones. 】

[It can be seen that the value of gemstones is also different from that of gemstones. 】

[The craftsman said: A clever craftsman can punch holes in weapons and armor, engrave and fill the order of rune fragments, and then inlay gems to add subsidiary attributes. A top-notch craftsman who can create puppet minions by filling rune shard orders, setting gems, and intricate built-in mechanisms. It is said that the Desert Emperor has an army of entire puppets to help him tear apart all his enemies. Each puppet soldier is worth enough for an ordinary person to squander his life. 】
