Nicholas II received the news, but Putilov, who was lucky not to be captured by Zhao Chuanxin, did not.

So, when the humming sound of "shoot or kill" wafted from the military camp in Hailar City, he shivered.

It seems that the courage brought by the belief in the Trinity did not dispel the fear of Zhao Chuanxin's demon.

At this time, night had fallen, but Zhao Chuanxin rushed back to Hailar from Zha-Lantun non-stop to "persuade the defeated troops gathered here".

The prisoners released earlier had an effect at this time.

Putilov hurriedly found Wu Sadi: "What should I do, what should I do, Zhao Chuanxin called......"

Wu Sadi looked at the panicked major general with a speechless face: "Are you sure that even if we fight now, we are in a defensive battle, and the defensive battle will not be able to defeat Zhao Chuanxin?" ”

These words gave Putillov a little confidence, but not much.

He hesitated: "To fight or not to fight?" Fight, we are defeated, Zhao Chuanxin will not let us go. If you don't fight, how do you know if you can beat him if you don't fight? ”

What if you win?

Just like the Russo-Japanese War, although they were at a disadvantage, the Japanese paid a huge price for the storm, tens of thousands of soldiers died, and their victory was not commendable, and it was completely filled by human life.

Nogi Noshinori almost became mentally ill after the war.

In defensive battles, they still have the strength to fight.

It's just that morale in the army is low, and it seems that the returning captives say something in the army, causing many people to lose their will to fight.

Putilov had already sent people to pull up barbed wire and set up a dense minefield around it, and he felt that he could fight without morale.

Wu Sadi naturally couldn't give an answer, he was not Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, and he couldn't call the shots for Putilov.

Putilov made up his mind: "Let's try." ”

Zhao Chuanxin also walks on two legs, and Zhao Chuanxin is also afraid of electricity.

It is inevitable to step on thunder when you walk too much, and it is inevitable to be electrocuted if you climb over the wall too much.

The people of Hailar heard Zhao Chuanxin's shout.

coincided with the after-dinner session, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Is it Zhao Chuanxin, the prefect of Yubin Prefecture?"

"Putilov has been defeated, and the prefect is going to kill them all!"

"Isn't he afraid of retaliation from Tsarist Russia? With tens of thousands of troops in Tsarist Russia, can the little Hamin Mansion stop it? ”

They didn't know that no matter how many people there were in Tsarist Russia, they would not be able to bring in at this time.

No matter how many cannons there are, they can't be transported in.

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was light snow in a short time.

After a light snowfall, it fell heavily at 8 p.m.

Zhao Chuanxin held a bayonet unloaded from the water beads, and walked in the endless wind and snow in the air on the ladder in the shadow cloak.

He looked down to see sparks shining from the barbed wire fence in the barracks near the train station, scorched by a rat trying to drill through the cracks.

Zhao Chuanxin pursed his lips disdainfully, not to mention that he had already seen Maozi's methods in the Russo-Japanese War, and he was reminded by Hu Da yesterday.

Hu Da seized a batch of mines.

Putilov was careful and filled the courtyard with a full staff.

He thinks that it is impossible for anyone to break through the net quietly, that is impossible.

He was writing a letter of apology to Nicholas II, in which he explained how strange the battle was and how inexplicable the defeat was, only mentioning his own shortcomings slightly, but greatly emphasizing how hateful Zhao Chuanxin was.

In a word: not a crime of war.

The sound of the door opening sounded, Putilov was stunned, and turned back in displeasure: "Why don't you knock on the door?" ”

In the dark corner, it seemed that the black curtain was opening, revealing Zhao Chuanxin's face.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth, didn't understand Russian, but guessed what he said: "I never knock when I enter the house." ”

The tap pen in Putilov's hand "snapped" to the ground, but unfortunately, the tip of the pen was broken, which was quite expensive.

"You, you, you ......"

Zhao Chuanxin took off the shadow cloak and shook off the snowflakes sticking to it and put it away.

"Didn't you hear me surrender?"

Putilov was disillusioned.

How did he get in?

Yes, black magic.

The Cloak of Shadows really is like legendary magic.

Zhao Chuanxin dragged a chair, made a harsh and ugly "squeak" sound, came to Putilov, lit a cigarette, crossed Erlang's legs, reached out and pulled out the letter paper on the table and nailed it to the table with a bayonet.

It was a hardwood table, but the bayonet was three points into the wood, and Putilov's eyelids jumped wildly when he saw it.

It was a force that could easily pierce through his skull.

Zhao Chuanxin asked him: "Can you speak English?" ”

"Yes, somewhat."

Putilov replied with a snap of his tongue.

"It's really strange and strange that we have to communicate in English on our Chinese soil."

Putilov stumbled, not knowing what to answer.

Zhao Chuanxin's fingers clasped the safflower sandalwood tabletop, and the cigarette ash shook everywhere.

He said, "Do you know why you didn't die? ”

Putilov scoffed: "Maybe it's because I'm lucky." ”

"Lucky? Lucky you can still talk to me face-to-face? ”

"Ah, this ......" Putilov barely mustered up his courage and said, "Mr. Zhao, please don't be presumptuous, what can't you talk about well?" Moreover, the form of war is changing with each passing day, and perhaps one day the military strength of our Tsarist Russia makes Mr. Zhao have to face it squarely, maybe our weapons are ......"

Zhao Chuanxin took a puff of cigarette and sprayed it on his face: "Face it? If you could have made me face it, wouldn't it have been up to me a long time ago? What are you waiting for? Wait for a bigger cannon? ”

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, what do you want?" Putilov wept with a sad face.

Speaking in front of Zhao Chuanxin, he had no confidence at all.

They have 308mm caliber Jumbo naval guns, but this is not the seaside.

"If you have 20,000, 30,000, 50,000 or more, I really can't resist it. However, I can slow you down, I can hinder your economy, I am better at making trouble, I think you have seen it. ”

"Yes, Mr. Zhao really impressed." I can't accept this.

Any blockade would be papery for Zhao Chuanxin.

For example, at this time, there is an electrified barbed wire fence and a mine outside, how did Zhao Chuanxin come from?

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I let you live because I want you to persuade Nicholas II to let him give up his territory and not go against me, otherwise I will drag your Tsarist dynasty to the end." ”

"This ......" Nicholas II hesitated: "I want to come to the country reinforcements are already on the way, and I am not in control." ”

"It's okay, they've been broken up by me." Zhao Chuanxin said lightly.

But for Putilov, it was tantamount to thunder in his ears: "What? ”

He suddenly got to his feet.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand and pressed it: "Sit down, sit down, don't get excited." It's just 8,000 people, so it's exciting. ”

Putilov: "......"

He was really discouraged.

Unless Tsarist Russia is ready for a real war, gathers tens of thousands of troops to press the border, and plows the court with a large number of artillery to sweep the caves, so that this land will not grow a single grass, I am afraid that it will really not be able to control Zhao Chuanxin.

However, Putilov can imagine that Zhao Chuanxin will inevitably launch a crazy revenge.

The double superposition of the military expenses of the army dispatch and the huge losses caused by Zhao Chuanxin will make all the ministers of the Russian court ponder whether it is worth it.

Putilov sat up straight: "I will move with emotion and reason, so that His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers can understand the trade-off." ”

"But before that." Zhao Chuanxin pointed at Putilov: "I want you to dismantle the mines, unload the barbed wire, I want you to let the Russian soldiers in Hailar disarm." Having done that, I will have you fix the telegraph line so that things can be communicated. Can this be done? If you can't do it, then I'll do it myself. ”

Putilov saw that Zhao Chuanxin's eyes were murderous, and he immediately said: "I can, I can do it." ”

Zhao Chuanxin pressed the cigarette butt on the solid wood table and extinguished it.

After getting up, he put on his shadow cloak with a "hula" and disappeared into darkness under Putilov's nose.

Putilov shuddered again.

He wanted to tell Nicholas II that Zhao Chuanxin had black magic, and that Zhao Chuanxin could quietly go to Moscow and infiltrate the palace, and he could really do it.

……

"Your Excellency, why didn't you go to Moscow and slaughter Nicholas II, now I think you can really do it." Yao Jia said for fear that the world would not be chaotic.

Zhang Shouzeng glared at him fiercely, he never advocated this kind of violent behavior.

Zhao Chuanxin sat in the mansion and drank morning tea, shook Erlang's legs and said, "Why did you kill him?" Wouldn't it be good to keep him alive? ”

"Okay?" Yao Jia didn't understand, how can this Nicholas II be so capable of doing things that it can be said to be good?

Since his coronation, he has intensified his desire to invade the Qing Dynasty.

Although Zhang Shouzeng did not advocate it, he did not think that it would be any better to keep Nicholas II.

Zhao Chuanxin put down the teacup and said: "In the shell of Tsarist Russia, there is another soul who is still small and weak. Once this soul is revived, you will not want to see how horrible it is. When it occupies the body, we will have to weigh it if we want to make it hard. ”

Zhang Shouzeng blinked: "My lord, do you mean the people you asked me to contact?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin secretly instructed him something.

"Yes, we must contact them in advance, and while they are weak, we will sign a secret agreement with them to stabilize our repossessed land, and it is possible that we can fund money and weapons to buy more land. Otherwise, once they turn over, it will be difficult to speak hard. ”

Except for Zhao Chuanxin, no one understood the terrifying power of that group of people.

Zhang Shouzeng nodded calmly.

Although he didn't think that those people could succeed, just as he didn't think that Sun Gongwu in the south could succeed.

It was only noon when news came from Chenba Erhu, claiming that Putilov had surrendered with all the Russian soldiers.

The whole province was a sensation.

"The prefect is mighty!"

"The prefect is invincible!"

"Long live the prefect......

"Hmm...... What do you say, be careful! ”

Zhao Chuanxin is in the new mansion of Yubin Mansion.

At the beginning, there were only three or two public officials, but now they are all together.

Zhao Chuanxin stood on the podium and said: "I thought it would take a year, at least half a year, to take back the Hailar area, but what happened? Hulun soldiers Song Xiaolian and Huang Shifu, Wu Sadi, the consul of Tsarist Russia in Hailar, and you have been pushed to this day step by step by the current situation. ”

Zhao Chuanxin took out a large map: "Now from Dauria, the main railway line goes south to east, all the way through Daxing-Anling to Zha-Lantunqian Station, and in the future, it will all be under the jurisdiction of our Yubin Prefecture." Not only have we regained the land, but we have to extend 4,500 square kilometers outward. ”

Zhao Chuanxin listened to the heavy breathing below and said, "Everyone, some of you are busy next, and you have a long way to go." ”

Zhang Shouzeng pointed to the abrupt extra piece of land on the map: "Lord Prefect, although it is exciting to expand the territory, it is not easy to defend here......"

"There is no need to keep it, in the next negotiations, first get this land in name. But as long as I have Zhao Chuanxin to serve in the Yubin Mansion, the Russians will not want to make an inch. ”

Domineering exposed.

Yao Jia's eyes flickered, and he pointed to the west side of the map: "Tao Ke Taohu is leading the horse bandits to attack, this matter can't be left like this." ”

Zhao Chuanxin put the area around Choibalsan Mountain on the map to the Yubin Mansion: "This is a lush grassland, and I think it should be under the jurisdiction of the Yubin Mansion." This matter will be talked about when we stabilize it first, and we can't chew it if we are greedy. ”

Yao Jia smiled knowingly.

Tao Ke Tao Hu came to attack, and it became the best excuse for the people of Yubin Mansion to slander people. The minister of Kulen does not give? He dares!

General Uriya Sutai will not allow it? He's the oldest.

Zhao Chuanxin said to Zhang Shouzeng: "Heyan, you will immediately take people to Hailar later, and when the telegram is connected, the negotiations will begin." ”

Zhang Shouzeng is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past.

Expand the territory, there is also a credit for him, and he has the opportunity to leave his name in history!

He got up excitedly: "I will not disappoint the prefect." ”

He did not know what fate awaited him when the telegram was delivered......

……

The repair of some of the telegraph lines and railroad tracks in the country was done by prisoners.

It's freezing cold, and the grey animals are just in time to come into play.

When Zhao Chuanxin returned the part of the railroad track in Daxing-Anling to Putilov, Putilov and Wu Sadi's expressions were very exciting.

Horvat, the general office of the Dongqing Railway Company, has long since fled, and the deputy general office is Daniere, who is currently in charge of the restoration of the tracks.

Daniel's mouth was dry, and he asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Mr. Zhao, the railroad track in the Siberian section ......"

"Oh, that part has long been melted into iron lumps, don't worry about it." Zhao Chuanxin said happily.

Wu Sadi was silent.

He has no capital to shout.

There's nothing to do here.

He took Katsufuku and Podigeril to hunt wild boars and pheasants.

It happened to be snowing heavily, and it was easy to track the wild boar's tracks.

Podigeril said: "Now that we are strong and strong, how can we bring thirty or forty people to hunt pigs, as in the past? ”

Pig hunting is a dangerous job after all.

Because the snow was so deep that they could not ride horses, they wore high boots and trekked deep and shallow in the snow, and the horses were used to pull sleds and wait for the pigs to be carried back.

Katsufuku said, "Where are there many people who need adults?" ”

Speaking of adults, Podigeril wondered, "Where have you gone?" ”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

Zhao Chuanxin stepped on the ethereal traveler and came back, took off his helmet, and in a moment a layer of hoarfrost hung on the lips of the exposed hat.

"Let's go, I caught a wild boar alive in front."

Live...... Alive?

Everyone looked at each other.

When I got to the place, I saw that there was a wild boar chrysalis in the snow, and because its hooves were tied, it spread out a large piece of snow.

Katsufuku: "This ......"

Is this something that carbon-based organisms can do?

The wild boar is old and scary, with fangs bared, a strong body, a pine tree oil, and two or three strong men can't hold it down, and sometimes sharp arrows can't penetrate its skin, of course, Zhao Chuanxin's heavy arrows are not among them.

Zhao Chuanxin not only put it down, but also tied its hooves?

It's incredible.

A group of hunters looked at Zhao Chuanxin as if they were looking at the gods.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Load the sleigh and transport it back first." ”

How did he catch it?

The ethereal traveler stepped forward to drive away in circles with the wild boar herd, and it was difficult for people to run in the snow, and the same was true for wild boars, but the ethereal traveler could "fly on the snow".

Zhao Chuanxin first exhausted them, smoothed out their brute nature, and then unexpectedly grabbed the pig's ears from the side and turned them over with his knees.

Whether it is a wild boar or a domestic pig, they have strong frontal strength, but average lateral force.

When Zhao Chuanxin was a child, he saw an adult man who relied on brute force to overturn a domestic pig from the side.

Most people think that domestic pigs can't beat wild boars 100%, but the truth will be shocking.

All in all, Zhao Chuanxin can't say that it is easy to deal with wild boars, it can only be said that it is easy, what one pig, two bears and three tigers, wild boars are easier to deal with than bears and tigers.

The wild boar is strong, and Zhao Chuanxin is even better with the berserk armor and his own brute strength.

It was still the same wild boar herd, Zhao Chuanxin chased after it, and used the old method to overturn another one, and the rest of the wild boars scattered in a hurry.

In one day, Zhao Chuanxin captured five heads alive.

"Let's go, that's all for today, and we'll continue tomorrow."

He wanted to send the wild boar to the capital before Zhang Shouzeng's negotiations were completed, and give it to Cixi, so that she could see her off when time was short.

The power of the population is great, and the telegraph lines in the Hailar area were all repaired on Halloween in the Western calendar.

Wu Sadi and Putilov were able to contact Moscow to negotiate with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the Hailar region, and then with Zhang Shouzeng.

Because of the Daxing-Anling mountain rail section, the railroad cut by Zhao Chuanxin is well preserved, and the repair speed is fast, and it has been opened to traffic at this time.

Reporters from all walks of life outside bought tickets to Hailar for the first time.

In the streets and alleys of Hailar, foreigners' faces can be seen everywhere.

French, German, English, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and other languages are intertwined.

However, it was George Lynch who was the first to report on the war.

George Lynch spent a fortune on a telegram reporting the full details of the war in the Hailar area.

In The Times, chief writer George Lynch called the war the Russo-Zhao War.

Yes, he put the word "Zhao" in front, and it is not "Zhong" or "Qing".

This is very interesting to the reader.

Capital.

Yuan Xiangcheng read The Times: This is a war that the world thinks will be protracted, but there is not much suspense. Before the war began, Zhao Chuanxin had already cut off the Russian railway and telegraph. The soldiers said that the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, but Zhao Chuanxin cut off the traffic and information before the soldiers and horses moved, which may have been learned from the Japanese, but the Japanese did not do well enough, but Zhao Chuanxin played extraordinarily.

Yuan Xiangcheng rubbed Guangguang's forehead, smiled bitterly and thought to himself, everyone understands the reason, but this can only be done by Zhao Chuanxin......

In the Forbidden City, Aixin Jueluo Zaifeng was reading the newspaper for Cixi: On the battlefield of the Eastern Front, Zhao Chuanxin single-handedly drove Major General Putilov's soldiers and horses into the icy Hailar River. I had the privilege of witnessing the whole battle from the perspective of both sides. Zhao Chuanxin first opened fire on the sand dunes, because he stole the artillery from the stations along the railway line in advance, and no one knew how he did it, just as everyone didn't know how he ran around carrying the artillery alone......

Cixi's chest was suffocated when she listened, even if the palace maid stroked her back, it would be useless, and it was difficult to relieve it.

She couldn't listen to it anymore, and waved her hand weakly and said, "Don't read it, don't read it, just tell me the result, who wins?" ”

Aixin Jueluo Zaifeng pursed his lips, and said with an interfering throat: "Zhao Chuanxin has won a big victory. ”

Cixi's eyes were dizzy: "How is it possible?" ”

She still looks forward to Zhao Chuanxin losing, but she doesn't want to think about the consequences of Zhao Chuanxin's loss.

Aixin Jueluo Zaifeng stopped talking.

……

Ji Lin, Niu Zihou asked his son Niu Hanzhang to read the newspaper to him.

Niu Hanzhang said: "On the battlefield of the Northern Front, although I did not come to the scene in person, I got the same information through the prisoners and the Gray Axe Cavalry Regiment - Zhao Chuanxin summoned thunder and lightning in the weather that was about to snow, and the thick thunder and lightning frequently landed in the Tsarist army, and there were scorched corpses everywhere, and the Russian soldiers were so frightened that they scattered and fled. Zhao Chuanxin caught up with the leader Lieutenant Colonel Mikhail, killed Captain Leonid, and captured Mikhail alive......"

Niu Zihou blinked: "So, Zhao Chuanxin won?" ”

Niu Hanzhang smiled bitterly, remembering that he was coerced all the way by Zhao Chuanxin's neck.

People are not even afraid of tens of thousands of fucking Russian troops, let alone give him face as a son. I think it was polite at the beginning.

After all, that's a real killer who doesn't blink!

And summoning thunder, isn't this a fairy means? How can ordinary people compare with immortals?

He nodded: "Dad, Zhao Chuanxin has won, and it is an undisputed victory." ”

Niu Zihou smiled: "I think Hailar is good, we should go to open a branch and go to Governor Zhao to seek business opportunities." ”

Niu Hanzhang: "......"

……

Hankow.

Liu Huaqiang and students from Juan Wang Technical College were also reading the newspaper.

"Mr. Zhao won, Mr. Zhao won......" Liu Huaqiang shouted with a newspaper in one hand and a fist in the other.

In the academy, the shouting wave overshadowed the wave.

A student shouted: "Yesterday I saw a foreigner boy in the concession, and after only two more glances, the boy insulted me and said, "You inferior people are also worthy of me?" How long has Mr. Zhao been gone, and how dare they do this? Now I think which foreigner dares to insult me and others? ”

Liu Huaqiang's eyes turned up when he heard this: "What? Is there such a thing? I have joined the adjudication team, that foreigner boy dares to humiliate my classmate Liu Huaqiang, does he have that strength? Tell me who he is! ”

Originally, Liu Huaqiang had been correcting Zhao Chuanxin that he was not called Liu Huaqiang, but at this time he completely changed his name, and now he is - Liu Huaqiang!

The student gritted his teeth: "I have figured it out, that foreign boy is the son of the Belgian Consul General, named Paul. ”

Liu Huaqiang's expression froze, this revenge is difficult to revenge.
