However, all of this is based on Zhao Chuanxin's ability to attack Tsarist Russia this time, so that the world can see his iron and bloody hand that can protect a piece of land.

Everything Zhao Chuanxin said was something that no one had ever heard.

It's still too new and avant-garde in this era.

Zhang Shouzeng sighed in his heart: I am blanched, I am really a talent.

Rebecca Levi looked at Zhao Chuanxin, her eyes were about to draw.

Hu Da and Hu Er saw that the rest of the people were full of amazement, and they didn't know what to do.

Yao Jia Huo Ran got up: "With such a big layout, how can the prefect let us stay out of the matter?" Everyone is responsible for this, and everyone must fight for it. If it happens, I don't think Maozi has anything to fear, and I can't say that I have to whisper to us. ”

At this time, Zhang Shouzeng didn't want to look back.

When I go back to work for the court, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the sky.

Because the most important point of this is that the Yubin Mansion cannot decay and fester.

The Qing court couldn't do it, but Zhao Chuanxin couldn't, because the stall was limited to a corner.

After the success of a corner of the country, it may affect the entire border and the whole country.

Thinking about these clearly, Zhang Shouzeng also got up: "Yes, everyone is responsible, and the prefect can't be left to work alone." ”

Hu Da and Hu Er got up mechanically, but they couldn't say four, five or six, because they didn't understand, but they still said: "My brother and you are working together!" ”

Rebecca Levi said, "I will do what you tell me to do." ”

Zhao Chuanxin was overjoyed, and morale was available.

Zhang Shouzeng is really useful, Zhao Chuanxin has a very, very important thing to hand over to him, don't forget that there is a group of forces in Tsarist Russia that are similar to the rebels surnamed Sun in the south, Zhang Shouzeng, the general office of the Negotiation Bureau with Russia, is against all forces in Russia, not just Tsarist Russia. The great powers always sign secret treaties, wouldn't he Zhao pass on his salary?

Yao Jia is very useful, his brain is too smart, and it is easy to attract investment and bidding, but after all, it is too novel, and whether it can be convincing depends on his three-inch tongue.

Rebecca Levi is useful, and Zhao needs to be cautious in her finances.

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 secret, including the chief of the five wings." You all come here, and the next thing is to be careful that the wall has ears......"

Six men began the most insidious conspiracy against Tsarist Russia.

……

Netherlands.

Wilhelmina, under the protection of the guards, held Juliana to meet a fortune teller.

This man was born in the South Seas, and was ordered by Wilhelmina to travel thousands of miles from the colony to the Netherlands.

The fortune teller's surname is Shen, and he knows that the woman in front of him must have a big way, but he can't figure out how big it is.

Wilhelmina said to him, "I heard that you are known locally as a god and are proficient in numerology, and I want you to tell my daughter's fortune." ”

Shen Shen twisted his beard and was just about to make a trick, but he heard Wilhelmina say again: "Although I don't understand, I can find many people who do." If you dare to talk nonsense, whether it is the South Seas or the Netherlands, I can make your life worse than death. ”

Shen Shen was furious.

He glanced at the heavily armed guards who were staring at him not far away, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Sure enough, he didn't dare to say anything, and said honestly: "Please tell me about Ling Yuan's birthday." ”

Wilhelmina said.

Shen Shen pinched his fingers, and his heart sighed.

Not counting anything else, just the day Juliana was born is not appropriate, the day of the murder.

All the birthdates are combined, but it's a different scene.

When dealing with rich people, it has become his instinct to hesitate to tell the truth.

But as soon as her face showed a little clue, she was seen through by this beautiful foreign woman with fair skin like milk, and she said coldly: "Your surname is Shen, and your ancestor was a Jinshi during the Qianlong period, and he mainly studied the Book of Changes with hexagrams, but because he is an official, he usually practices less, but in your generation, he has fled overseas for refuge, and he attaches equal importance to practice and theory, which is the reason why I am looking for you." If you want to tell a lie, it's better to think about the consequences. ”

Scald!

Shen Shen put out all his careful thoughts, and he didn't dare to be nonsense anymore.

Even the ancestors have found it, it's really scary.

This woman is not small!

He sneered and said, "Don't dare, the old man will tell the truth." Although Ling Yuan is a woman, she has a chivalrous heart, and she will fight for the strong and aggressive in the future, and the defeated will help the weak, but if she is promoted by a nobleman, she will be famous. She is witty, magnanimous, and ambitious. In the future, if you go to the good side, you will leave a name in history, and if you go bad, you will leave a stench for 10,000 years, just because the character is quite extreme. She has a peculiar numerology, but as a woman, she has a career, and she is quite supported by her father and brother. has been running all her life, and it may seem hard to others, but she enjoys it. Therefore, she has a noble life, but it is expensive and inconspicuous, and it is difficult to inherit the family business, but she can also be extraordinary......"

The more Wilhelmina listened, the more ugly her face became.

Shen Shensuan means that although Juliana is a girl, she is more gentlemanly than a man, restless, and running around the world. Listening to that meaning, she will be like her father, who fights with people at every turn.

The words "defeat the strong and help 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?

What's more, Shen Shensuan said that her daughter would not be able to inherit the family business in the future.

Isn't that ......

Shen Shensuan found that William Minna's face was ugly, so he sneered and said: "Our Shen family has reached my generation, and we are quite familiar with the technique of matching the bones with each other, so why don't you let me see Ling Yuan." ”

I thought to myself, I'll just say something nice later.

Those who have crossed the ocean cannot come in vain.

Wilhelmina opened the swaddling clothes.

Shen Shen took a look, this little girl was only a few months old, but she already had starry eyes and pink lips, how could she not look like a pure foreigner, but some Chinese sword eyebrows and starry heroism?

This appearance made him a little afraid to talk nonsense, obviously this girl is not a stable master.

Moreover, the little girl did not cry or laugh, stared at him with her eyes, and waved her clenched fists as if she were about to hit someone.

Scald...... This is not too much with the numerology he calculated.

He touched the little girl's head, face, and bones.

As a result, she was scratched by her sharp nails with a bloody mark.

The little girl raised her eyebrows, as if to say, "Who the did you search with?"

Wilhelmina said, "Tell me the truth, I won't pay you anything for what is good." ”

Shen Shen, who was worried about playing for nothing, had a bottom in his heart.

In that case, what else is there to hide.

"Born in the summer, the golden god enters the fire town......" He just wanted to show off his knowledge, but he immediately remembered that the foreign woman in front of him didn't understand this, so he changed his words and said: "You are born at noon, fill in the noon words, don't make empty deaths, let the child stay by your side, then the child can be rich and rich." But this child has a hard life, some fathers will bring disaster to their fathers, and they themselves have two fierce years of thirty-one and thirty-six, so they must be careful. ”

Wilhelmina: "......"

In the past, she didn't believe in these, but Zhao Chuanxin was Chinese, which made her interested in the occult of the East, and after many inquiries, she heard that there were many very "god" Chinese in history, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, etc. were almost mythologized, but they were historical figures.

That's why we have today.

After listening to Shen Shensuan's words, but the situation with her and Juliana and Zhao Chuanxin was true, he was even more convinced.

William Minna gave Shen Shen a very generous honorarium.

Shen Shen couldn't close his mouth in the cold, and even said thank you, but he didn't expect that to be honest, there was money to be made, if the world was so reasonable, where would there be liars?

Before leaving, he hesitated and asked, "Could this child's father be Chinese?" ”

Wilhelmina's eyes widened suddenly, and she said coldly: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." ”

After returning to the palace.

Wilhelmina's cronies asked, "Your Majesty, are we still going to the East?" If I go, I'll have to prepare. ”

William Minna remembered Shen Shensuan's words: "I won't go for the time being." ”

……

Manchuria-Chali.

Putilov said to Wu Sadi: "We have received news that our telegraph circuit has been cut and the railway has been destroyed, and it is obvious that Zhao Chuanxin did it. This is the biggest scourge that hinders our interests in China, and we must get rid of it. ”

Wu Sadi also said: "I happened to be contacted by the Mongolian people who were dissatisfied with Zhao Chuanxin, and they were willing to organize a force of several hundred or even thousands of people to attack us from the west and south. But they need to provide weapons, ammunition and money. ”

It's easy to say when you change times, but now......

Putilov said: "They can only be given a batch of old ordnance, the train is not passable, the ordnance cannot be transported, and the artillery is completely lost." If they are willing to help, they will give, and if they are not, forget it. ”

Wu Sadi felt that Putilov had underestimated these Mongolian people, so he said: "These horse bandits rode in two horses, galloping freely in the steppe without a trace, and their effect is far greater than you think. At the beginning, they helped the Japanese to fight with us, and we suffered a few big losses, which was suitable to deal with Zhao Chuanxin. ”

Putilov sneered, turned to Rudanov and Horvat and said: "Now there is no point in negotiations, war is inevitable. Come with me to Hailar, Manchuria is no longer safe. ”

The people of Yubin Mansion were afraid of the Manchurian-Chalian Russian garrison, but how could Putillov and others not be afraid of Zhao Chuanxin?

But worthy of being the leader of the troops of Nicholas II, Putilov also looked forward to his pride, and no one could control the arrogance that came up.

He got up and said proudly: "Then, let me and Zhao Chuanxin compete on the battlefield, after this battle, we will include Manchuria." Didn't the Qing court shirk its responsibility, since this is the case, then they have no reason to stop it after the war! ”

Wu Sadi's eyes lit up.

If he could really include all the north of the Dharan Oromu River into the territory, then his merit as a consul in Hailar would be great.

He hurriedly said: "I will definitely communicate with all parties and cooperate with our army's actions." ”

On the other side, Song Xiaolian and Huang Shifu also said in private: "It seems that Zhang Shouzeng will not continue to negotiate with Wu Sadi, and there is no need for us to stay here." The telegram doesn't work, I don't know what the situation is in Hulun City, let's go back. ”

Huang Shifu nodded in agreement.

He wanted to leave a long time ago.

This place of right and wrong, the center of the vortex, he really didn't want to stay for a moment.

In case Zhao Chuanxin's dog gets into a fight, the gun has no eyes, life and death are unpredictable, and I am afraid that it will affect the pond fish.

The two were unable to take the train, so they had to hire a carriage to drive back.

When he arrived at Zhala-Norr, Song Xiaolian saw a mining area unaffected by the shadow of war, with camel carts pulling coal in and out, and a house flowing black water into a pond outside.

He said to the guards, "Go and ask what this is doing." ”

The guards rode over and inquired: "Lord Qiqi, they are washing coal, and that black 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: "My lord, they say that the washed coal is called refined coal, which can make steel, and get twice the result with half the effort." The washed coal dust can be supplied to the personal stove, the coal powder is mixed with clay and pressed on the coal, the furnace fire is not extinguished all night, and the next day the drill can be opened to continue to burn, and there is no need to re-light the fire. ”

Steelmaking? Stove?

Song Xiaolian and Huang Shifu knew that several coal mines here had been begged back by Zhao Chuanxin from Tsarist Russia.

It's just that they 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 for steelmaking, what is Zhao Chuanxin going to do with that dog?

Huang Shifu thought of a possibility, and he said indignantly: "Zhao Chuanxin wolf ambition, this coal mine should really belong to the military preparation road, but he gave it to the head of the five wings. Now that he wants to make steel, do you still want to learn from the imperial court to make firearms in the arsenal factory in Hankou? ”

His eyes were red with jealousy.

In a region, only one industrial income can support the overall situation. Coal mining in the grasslands is difficult, and I don't know how much this tax revenue is.

Zhao Chuanxin now controls a large area of pasture and arable land, driving out the occupying Russian people, and it is foreseeable that next year will usher in a big explosion in the number of livestock, and the transaction volume of Kangyur temple fairs will usher in a new high.

Coal mines, salt mines, logging industry, etc......

It's all money.

And now it's going to be steelmaking 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, and that would not be within the scope of his comprehension at all.

Song Xiaolian thought for a while and said, "Turn around and go to Hulun Lake to have a look." ”

Huang Shifu reminded: "My lord, it's not peaceful now, it's better to go back early." ”

There were ten of them and eight guards, and if they really fought, they would not be enough to be sandwiched between the two sides.

"It doesn't matter, the old man knows Zhao Tangong somewhat, if he really wants to fight now, he won't let Zhang Shouzeng delay time. Also, why the telegraph doesn't work, the train doesn't work, don't you see it yet? ”

Don't look at the old guy who always blows his beard and stares, in fact, he understands it in his heart.

"Do you mean...... This is all done by Zhao Chuanxin? Huang Shifu asked uncertainly.

"It has to be. Even if it is to be fought, it will take time for Tsarist Russia to mobilize a large army, and if Zhao Tangong wants to achieve victory, he also needs time to arrange, and it will not be in the way to delay this moment. ”

As he spoke, the carriage arrived at the mouth of the small river in Hulun Lake.

The two got out of the car.

Huang Shifu pointed to the lake in surprise and said, "Look, my lord." ”

He was referring to the molten silica glass sentry box that Zhao Chuanxin built to guard Hulun Lake.

Under the sun, the sentry box shines brightly, standing on the stone platform on the surface of the lake.

You can see the soldiers staring at the lake with the fire inside, and even the fast guns at the soldiers' feet can be clearly seen.

"This ......"

Song Xiaolian was shocked.

The main reason is that the production of glass is low and the transparency is not high.

A house that can be made entirely of glass, no matter how big or small, is shocking to look at.

Song Xiaolian walked over there unconsciously.

But as soon as he got close to the narrow rocky bridge, the sentry soldiers got out and pointed their guns at this side: "Who is it?" Stop, or I'll shoot! ”

Song Xiaolian's guards also raised their guns and pointed them at the soldiers: "Put down your guns quickly." ”

"Put Nima, I'll count to three, and if I don't put down the gun, I'll shoot."

"One!"

"Two!"

The soldier narrowed his eyes, and with a slight movement of his fingers, he was about to pull the trigger.

Song Xiaolian immediately shouted: "Put down your guns!" ”

This soldier was a subordinate of Brona, a Sauron, hot-tempered and fierce.

One person is not afraid of ten people.

Song Xiaolian was shocked to stop the guards.

He shouted: "I am Song Xiaolian, a Taoist of the Hulun Army." ”

The soldier hesitated.

Before Zhao Chuanxin came, they initially listened to the orders of the deputy commander, and after changing the Yamen of the capital to prepare for the army, they listened to the order of the soldier to prepare the road.

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 sentry box, and even if Cixi comes." ”

So, he just lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly, but his tone was very tough: "Don't get close to the sentry box, otherwise there will be no mercy." ”

Song Xiaolian: "......"

It's going to be terrible for you.

Don't even pay attention to the soldiers and Taoists?

In fact, the soldier is the deputy commander.

Huang Shifu was angry, and scolded: "Bold, Lord Song is here, how dare you be rude?" Which wing are you the flag bearer? ”

The soldier was not afraid, and said loudly: "Sauron's right wing, you can complain to our governor, but there is no order from the prefect to go to the sentry box!" ”

The lake had not yet frozen, and it was not yet winter fishing time, and there were only a few people wandering around.

The people were stunned when they saw this.

Hailar has really changed the sky, and the soldiers only recognize the prefect of Binfu and do not recognize the soldiers and Taoists.

At the same time, I also feel that it is better not to steal fish in the future, otherwise I will be really destroyed by these big-headed soldiers.

Song Xiaolian was only slightly displeased, because the soldiers only recognized Zhao Chuanxin and did not recognize him, but they were not angry because of the soldiers' stubbornness.

He felt that this was a qualified soldier and obeyed orders.

Regardless of the military literacy of these soldiers, at least there is already a prototype of a strong army, and the order and prohibition are stronger than the new army.

He waved his hand and motioned for Huang Shifu not to speak.

He asked the soldiers: "Why is there no one fishing?" Is it possible for the prefect of Zhao to become a real fish and meat common people and occupy such a large lake? ”

When the soldier saw that they were not coming, he breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "It is not yet time for winter fishing, and you can only fish when the lake is frozen and you can support camels and horses." But the fish ticket has already been issued. ”

"Fish ticket?" Song Xiaolian asked, "What is a fish ticket?" ”

"I don't know." The soldier was honest.

Song Xiaolian was thoughtful.

He said to the guards: "Let's go, when the war subsides, if Zhao Tangong is still alive, the old man wants to see his Lubin Mansion." ”

Huang Shifu's body trembled next to him, don't expose the lie.

……

After several days, Yao Xingyuan finally arrived in Hailar.

He bought a new horse, and bought a thick black bearskin hat, and when he wore the little hat, no one loved him, and he ignored anyone who showed him kindness on the way.

This is called eating a trench and growing wisdom.

In the past few days, there have been Russian cavalry surging by, all loaded with guns and live ammunition with murderous faces, and Yao Xingyuan was terrified when he saw it.

When he finally arrived at Hailar, his face was chapped and his fingers were chilblains.

He saw a stall selling porridge and roasted wheat, a pot of tea full of milky flavor, and a boiled mutton...... For a while, it was salivating.

Especially the mutton, which is full of color and flavor, makes him unable to move.

Along the way, he endured hardships, ate and slept in dew, and suffered a lot of crimes.

The loss of a horse and luggage, plus the cost of the road, has already overspended.

He is just an ordinary farmer, and his heart is bleeding from the money spent.

"You taste this mutton, it's mushy and fragrant."

Yao Xingyuan's eyes were staring, his Adam's apple rolled, but he shook his head: "It's too fishy, I'll take a look." ”

He was reluctant to buy it, but he refused to show his timidity.

"Fishy?" The peddler sneered: "How fresh it is, how can there be mutton that is not fishy?" I'm afraid it's not that I don't have any money? If you don't have money, just say it. ”

Yao Xingyuan's face turned red when he was squeezed, and he was silent.

At this time, I heard someone behind me: "Yes, you just don't have money, what's wrong with you?" ”

The peddler saw a tall man wearing a thin robe with more than a dozen patches.

He pouted disdainfully: "You don't look like you're rich, what can you see if you don't have money?" ”

The tall man bared his teeth: "Yes, you still have to look at it if you don't have money, are you angry?" The stall belongs to your family, is it possible that the road is also your family's? ”

"You still think you can't get glorious without money?" The peddler was a little speechless by what he said, and racked his brains to squeeze another sentence.

The tall man still bared his teeth and nodded: "Yes, yes, I am very glorious and glorious without money, do you say that you are angry?" Oops, I don't have money and I'm proud. ”

As he spoke, he raised his head with a smug face.

The "......" peddler simply didn't know what to say.

Yao Xingyuan is already stupid.

The tall man covered in patches was no stranger, it was Zhao Chuanxin.

"Zhao ......"

"What to look for, you can't find money when you look down. The mutton sold by this dog tastes so good, it must be a skinny old sheep, let's not eat him, I'll take you somewhere else to eat. ”

The peddler clasped his hands around his waist and became angry: "Go to other places to eat, can you afford to eat?" ”

"Eh, I can't afford to eat, I'm going to ask for food, I want to eat, I'm honorable, I'm happy, do you care?" Zhao Chuanxin's face was full of angry human flesh, and he was about to blow up the hawker.

"I don't care, then you go and ask for food, it stinks and wants food."

Just at this time, a Sauron man passed by.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly grabbed him.

The Sauron people recognized Zhao Chuanxin, and they were about to shout in surprise.

Zhao Chuanxin winked at him, but this person was also clever and swallowed the words back into his stomach.

Zhao Chuanxin shouted: "This nobleman, he has money at a glance, so let's give me some silver and let me buy some meat to eat." ”

The mutton seller sneered: "I'm crazy about money, who begs for money and wants to buy meat, people will give it?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the Sauron man rummaged through his pockets, took out all the money to Zhao Chuanxin, and asked, "Is it enough?" ”

Hawker: "......"

It's not scientific.

Zhao Chuanxin took the 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 stinky for food, we don't need to set up a stall to sell mutton, we just need to go out every day to ask for food to make a fortune. ”

Hawker: "......"

Yao Xingyuan smiled with big yellow teeth.

All the resentment along the way seems to have been given to Zhao Chuanxin, and this trouble has disappeared.

Zhao Chuanxin originally came to Hailar in disguise to investigate the increase in Tsarist Russia, but he didn't expect to meet his apprentice and his father.
