On the side of the Qing court, there was only one person present who was unscrupulously poking and poking in his heart.

This person is Wu Luzhen.

Who is Wu Luzhen?

Later, after he ascended to the throne, many people were afraid of him, not because he was cruel, but because he couldn't rub sand in his eyes, he was upright, and the yardstick he gave himself would not be easily shaken.

It's really cool, it has always been the Qing court that has been pressed to the ground and rubbed, and now they are on the line again with Tsarist Russia, both on the battlefield and diplomatically, they have been beaten by the Bin Mansion.

Kosovici was afraid.

He and Wu Sadi glanced at each other and said: "Negotiations cannot be completed in one day, there is no reason for this, we also gave a lot of time to negotiate with your country back then, at least let us go back and call the emperor, and we will do it tomorrow." ”

Zhang Shouzeng nodded reservedly: "Yes!" ”

Cool, he himself feels happy!

They are Party A, and the rest are Party B.

When everyone began to leave, Zhang Shouzeng went to find Zhao Chuanxin: "Lord Prefect, I ......"

Zhao Chuanxin patted him on the shoulder: "It feels bad to see this world passing by you but has nothing to do with you, give you the opportunity to participate, you just do it well." ”

To be honest, Zhao Chuanxin supported him today, which made Zhang Shouzeng extremely moved.

It's just that Zhao Chuanxin didn't say much, because Xu Shichang found it.

"Zhao Tangong!"

"Governor Xu, hello." Zhao Chuanxin grinned.

Time and space converge, and human feelings are connected.

The two have never met, but they have worked together.

Others said that Xu Shichang was slippery, but Zhao Chuanxin admired this old boy.

Similarly, the Qing court hated Zhao Chuanxin, but Xu Shichang secretly affirmed Zhao Chuanxin.

When the two met for the first time, they didn't feel unfamiliar, as if they had known each other for many years.

"Charcoalworker, father, son, son, king, minister, minister, ......"

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly interrupted him: "Don't, don't be angry." At most, the brothers are on the wall, and there is no father. ”

Zhang Shouzeng and Wu Luzhen didn't understand.

Xu Shichang was not annoyed: "Okay, even if the brothers are against the wall, they will make people see jokes." ”

", aren't you just taking a fancy to our tax in the Binfu Mansion? What can you do if you take it? To accompany Cixi to the funeral? ”

"......" Xu Shichang took Zhao Chuanxin's arm and walked out: "I'll set up a banquet, let's have a drink and two drinks." ”

After the upsurge of alcohol, there is nothing to talk about.

Zhao Chuanxin doesn't eat out at all, unless he dresses up.

"That can't be, how can you be the east when you come to Hailar. Let's go, let's go to the woodcarved flute of the Sauron Department, and I'll cook it myself. Shouqing, Heyan, and the others also came together. ”

The woodcarved flute of Badang'a was installed with the glass window given by Zhao Chuanxin, and the window was bright and clean after the reconstruction.

Badang'a asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Since we have caught enough wild boars, why only pay tribute?" ”

"The remaining eight pigs were slaughtered, and the widows and widows of the five wings were sent to make up for the winter fat, and the two pigs meant it. Said to the people who delivered the pigs, whether it was Maozi or the little devil's train, if they dared not to transport it, I would go to them to settle accounts. In addition, the letter must be brought, and it must be delivered to Cixi. Zhao Chuanxin emphasized.

This year, the number of wild boars in the five wings has been reduced to two, and there is not a single pheasant. The two pigs were transported by train.

Thinking about it, the Dongqing Railway and the South Manchurian Railway Company didn't dare not give him this face.

Especially the little devils, I'm afraid I'm about to pee, and if Zhao Chuanxin goes to cut their railway, they can only stare dryly.

Zhao Chuanxin really cooked a table of wine and food himself.

"Come on, Governor Xu, this fathead fish was just caught, and it was not yet the fishing season, so it was specially prepared for you."

After eating, Wu Luzhen raised her glass: "Mr. Zhao, I really admire you, and the things you did will go down in history." ”

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and drank it all with him.

Wu Luzhen went to clink glasses with Zhang Shouzeng again: "Heyan, good, what you said today is really pleasant!" ”

"Don't dare to be, I just borrowed the light of the prefect to dare to make a big statement!" Zhang Shouzeng said humbly.

Wu Luzhen clinked glasses with Badang'a again, after all, it was Badang'a's territory.

I don't know what stimulated him, he didn't have a few glasses of alcohol and couldn't drink, his eyes were foggy, Badang'a asked Xu Shichang's opinion and asked Wu Luzhen to rest.

Zhao Chuanxin was thoughtful.

He knows many secrets that no one knows.

For example, Wu Luzhen actually wears the same pants as Sun Gongwu, and he is an undercover agent.

Under this premise, Wu Luzhen's performance today is a bit deliberate.

But Zhao Chuanxin didn't say anything.

Xu Shichang said earnestly: "Charcoal, your original intention is good, but you also have to think about the whole country, now the imperial court is unable to make ends meet, the military expenditure is heavy, and the silver money is urgently needed." ”

"If you urgently need silver, you will throttle and open up the source and learn from the Yubin Mansion." Zhao Chuanxin said with a grin.

"We will ban smoking next year, and our finances will be stretched." Xu Shichang continued to cry poor.

"I chose to earn that dirty money at the beginning, but now I have to suffer the consequences." Zhao Chuanxin was unmoved.

"It's not that simple, the roots are in the British Empire."

"The thing is very simple, it should have been a dead country, but the Qing court chose to die and not die a country."

"This ......" Xu Shichang had nothing to say.

Forcibly continue to live, strong outside and dry in the middle.

So the withdrawal reaction is very strong.

Xu Shichang changed the topic: "When the negotiations are over, how will the charcoal workers govern the Hulun grassland?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin said truthfully: "The prefectures and counties along the railway, expand and expand again, smell the chickens and dogs of Qianmo traffic, develop mining areas, and recruit workers. ”

is indeed the truth, but in Xu Shichang's ears, there is another conclusion: "In this way, the taxes collected are not enough to toss and disappear." ”

Zhao Chuanxin said what he said to the public officials of Yubin Mansion at the beginning, so he naturally wouldn't tell Xu Shichang.

He smiled and said, "Isn't it about to receive 500,000 taels of silver from Tsarist Russia?" ”

"Uh...... Are you sure they'll give? ”

"Bargain, but no matter what the end result is, they have to give, and if they don't give me more, they will destroy it as they go."

Xu Shichang was shocked when he heard it.

He changed the subject again: "So, how is the Yubin Mansion going to pave the road?" Is it a road? Shengjing is now very convenient on the road. ”

"Yes, we also pave roads, and all coal, iron, salt and stone mining areas and wing pastures must be accessible in all directions."

But Mr. Zhao did not say that he had already contacted foreign asphalt heating equipment, contacted crude oil extraction technicians, and was ready to bribe Russian officials to buy oil fields in their territory.

In the future, it will not only be a gravel road, but also asphalt.

What he wanted most was Sakhalin, but unfortunately when the Sino-Russian BJ Treaty was signed, the Qing Dynasty ceded it to Tsarist Russia. Zhao Chuanxin can find a way to take it over, but now he can't keep it.

He needed an opportunity to reclaim all his territory, including Vladivostok.

His various industries will usher in a dream linkage in the future.

Just like the coal mine in the Zhala-Nuoer area, the reason why Zhao Chuanxin was not moved to give up the profits to the head of the five wings was that there was coal in the Maozi territory in the north, and the coal mines in the south of Chita were dotted, and the purpose of Zhao Chuanxin's expansion to the north was this.

The great powers have seen the importance of energy, and Zhao Chuanxin must step up the pace of land reclaim.

Xu Shichang was mostly just probing, wanting to pick out the details from trivial matters to peek into Zhao Chuanxin's future plans.

Zhao Chuanxin is wonderful because he doesn't lie, no matter what Xu Shichang asks, he will come with his mouth.

But due to the thinking limitations of the times, even if Xu Shichang is a capable official, he can't figure out the logic behind Zhao Chuanxin, and only knows that Zhao Chuanxin will spend a lot of money.

After drinking a meal, Xu Shichang, Zhang Shouzeng, and Badang'a were all red-faced, but Zhao Chuanxin's face did not change.

He looked at his watch: "Negotiations will continue tomorrow, and I will stop today." ”

Badama arranged for them to stay.

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin, who had not been touched by alcohol, did not delay, and returned to the mountainside hut as soon as possible.

There were many bird and beast footprints on the snow in front of the hut, but there were no human footprints.

He only cleared the snow from a field in front of the door, and the road was not cleared at all.

That way he would know if anyone had come.

Push the door into the house, light the fireplace first, lie down and take out the Old Gods Codex.

The food and water prepared for the evacuees were sent over, and Zhao Chuanxin even gave bedding and clothes intimately.

[The refuge nobleman rubbed the torn silk shirt and said: Light and silky, the texture is elegant, and the fabric feels so comfortable to the touch, I have never touched it, fearless pioneer, what kind of material is this? 】

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned, this was the shabby clothes he asked Yao Jia for.

Hurriedly wrote:

[I said: This is the most expensive silk fabric in Middle-earth, and it costs 200 gold coins to make such a shirt. 】

[The refuge nobles are surprised: not expensive, really not expensive. 】

Zhao Chuanxin: "......"

Suddenly, he had a very bold idea.

[Master Jia was remodeling the helmet, he grabbed his hair painfully and said: Missing key materials. 】

The elf carving knife was broken in half, and Zhao Chuanxin was actually heartbroken, but it was not big. Because the forest elves still have it, just go back and find a way to ask for it......

The Desert Emperor's blade runes are sharper than the Elven Carving Knife.

But Master Jia, if you can't make anything, we have to talk about it, and if you lose something, you must gain something.

Zhao Chuanxin wrote:

[I asked: What materials are missing?] 】

[Master Jia said madly: The dragon's breath exciter lacks corrosion-resistant micro pipes and containers, and other equipment lacks more materials. 】

Zhao Chuanxin opened the Holy Light Channel, substituted into it, and communicated with Master Jia.

After figuring out what he was missing, he made small containers and pipes of fused silica glass out of mud trowel gloves and sand, and molded them in one piece.

He was helpless about the rest of the material.

He also used the Old God Cauldron Brand to help him repair a few light knives and quit the state.

Zhao Chuanxin closed the "Old God Codex" and slept.

The next day, he went to Hailar for negotiations as usual.

Zhao Chuanxin still didn't say a word, and sat in the chief observer.

When he got up bored and went to the windowsill to smoke, Wu Luzhen came over and said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhao, you didn't stay in the Sauron Department last night?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin smiled.

He knew that Wu Luzhen deliberately drank in a hurry last night, pretended to be drunk and went to sleep, and was actually waiting for him.

So Zhao Chuanxin ran away as soon as he finished eating.

"Hmm...... Well, you know, the great powers hate me, I have no fixed place to live every day, I have no fixed meal, and I have to cook by myself. ”

Wu Luzhen was stunned, he thought that Zhao Chuanxin deliberately avoided him.

"I see!" He was ashamed that he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and said, "Isn't Mr. Zhao in a hurry? I see that the Russian side is deliberately delaying. ”

He is a Mr. Zhao, but he is not called an officialdom, which obviously has a deep meaning.

Zhao Chuanxin handed him a cigarette and bared his teeth and smiled: "There are only two points in delaying - the first is helpless, they want to exhaust our patience, just like when Li Hongzhang negotiated with the great powers, but the roles were reversed; Second, they made some moves, but it takes time to transport troops or weapons, and I give them that time. ”

Wu Luzhen found that Zhao Chuanxin's smile seemed to be the same as before, but it was a little more deep and introverted, for example, he would not be as out of touch as he used to be.

As the Qing court declined, the rivers were gloomy, and the atmosphere of changing the dynasty became stronger and stronger, and Zhao Chuan's salary also changed.

Wu Luzhen's mind suddenly came to the sentence when she was learning English: Time changed......

He coughed lightly and thought of his task: "Mr. Zhao, in order to show sincerity, I will give a ...... today."

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him: "Needless to say, I know everything." But don't mess around in my territory, I promise that my territory will be smooth and excessive, and we will hang up new signboards as soon as the world is turned upside down, I am willing to join the new order, but I will not participate in the war, you know that I Zhao Chuanxin never engage in infighting. ”

"Uh......" Wu Luzhen was stunned.

He never expected that Zhao Chuanxin would know about his deeply-hidden identity. And Zhao Chuanxin seems to be very sure that they can succeed? He Wu Luzhen didn't dare to think so.

Zhao Chuanxin propped his elbows on the windowsill and looked out the window.

Smoke curled up in front of him, his eyes were deep under his messy hair, and his face was harder because of the recent rush and lack of food, and at this time he was a little less humane and a little less marketable.

His three-piece set of power, the pattern of a skull pierced with a sword on his gold cufflinks, and the pattern of a knight piercing a shield made of gold engraving on the steel bracelet of his modified pilot's watch, can all be seen that the waves are surging under the calm surface at this time, his heart is like a fire cooking oil, his worldview and values have finally collapsed and reorganized in a long hesitation, and he wants to break his wrist with whom.

Wu Luzhen looked at Zhao Chuanxin, who was completely different from the past, and thought of these inexplicably.

He shook his head and told himself that he was thinking too much, and the Zhao Chuanxin in front of him was still the same Zhao Chuanxin who was not stingy.

At the same time, his heart became hot again: "Mr. Zhao, Sun ......"

Zhao Chuanxin directly interrupted him: "Shouqing, I drank too much tea in the morning and had a lot of urgency, so let's go first." ”

After saying that, with a cigarette in his pocket, Long Xiang walked out of the hall with a tiger, and pushed the Russian guard at the door: "Blind in the paralyzed eye? ”

The Russian soldier was pushed back five steps by him and stopped hitting the wall, timidly bowing his head and not daring to speak.

Wu Luzhen: "......"

You can make mistakes in the top and middle laners, but not in the jungler.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't go to pee, and after going out, he changed his clothes and went to Zha-Lantun.

After finding no abnormal movement, he turned around and passed through Manchuria-Chali to the Dauriya region.

After a check-up, he returned to the venue.

When I came back, I was still wearing a suit and leather shoes.

Wu Luzhen didn't expect him to pee for nearly three hours.

After his return, Zhao Chuanxin has been sitting in the chief, drawing a map of a certain place and various drawings on paper with a pencil.

Aixin Jueluo Yixuan next to him turned his head and peeked at it, and saw that Zhao Chuanxin was painting a city.

The city was large and large, with many exotic towers and bungalows, most of which were domes, but the bungalows were square.

Zhao Chuanxin made a conspicuous mark somewhere in this painting, and after finishing the painting, he thought for a while, and painted another house next to the delicate but out of place building.

Some reporters were curious about Zhao Chuanxin, and he tiptoed closer, probing at a distance away, his eyes were good, and he was amazed after seeing Zhao Chuanxin's painting.

The world has attracted the attention of the Zhao Russo-Russian War, Zhao Chuanxin is the absolute protagonist of the vortex, his every move is worthy of attention, and the news that Zhao Chuanxin can paint and is very talented can find another way to attract attention.

He went back and told a well-connected colleague the news.

Peers scoffed: "Do you know that Zhao Chuanxin understands painting?" He even drew a cartoon called "The Mage of the Late Qing Dynasty". The comics predicted the death of Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, and the royalists living in the West were furious when they saw it, and they bought the cartoons on a large scale, bought them back and burned them, saying that it was disrespectful......"

This journalist: "......"

Zhao Chuanxin painted the city of runes.

He had ideas that took shape as he sketched.

He can keep sticking nails in the great powers on the earth to make them uncomfortable and helpless, then he can also stick nails in the city of runes to the desert emperor.

Why do you have to run away?

Rune City is rich in oil, people are stupid and have a lot of money, Zhao Chuanxin is ready to let "me" stay here.

It was another day to write and draw, and another day to write and draw, not only to draw maps, but also to design the front and back of various denominations......

It is getting closer and closer to the day when Cixi blows the lamp and pulls out the wax.

That night, Kosovic sent a long message to Nicholas II: "Your Majesty, after many inquiries in recent days, I learned from Major General Putilov that Zhao Chuanxin has the ability to stealth in the night, and from the mouth of the soldiers, it is true that Zhao Chuanxin can walk in the air and summon thunder. I learned from the British and Americans through my connections that Zhao Chuanxin was able to destroy the bottom of the battleship and sink it in ten minutes, which should be consistent with the method he used to destroy the railroad tracks. It seems that many bank thefts many years ago have something to do with him. I also learned from various sources that Zhao Chuanxin has the ability to move quickly, and it is said that in an hour, he can travel 200-400 versts. To sum up: I think what the Chinese negotiator Zhang Shouzeng said is true, and Zhao Chuanxin can indeed cause us huge losses......

Kosovic breathed a long sigh of relief.

The next morning, when he met with Wu Sadi, Wu Sadi asked him, "Has His Majesty the Emperor replied?" ”

"Come back, let's compromise, but the reparations need to be less."

Wu Sadi hesitated for a moment and asked him: "Your Excellency, you tell me the truth, did you mean to do the death of Foreign Minister Izvorisky?" ”

Kusuo Weici glanced at Wu Sadi deeply: "The situation between the DPRK and China is treacherous, and there are some things you don't want to inquire about. ”

didn't admit it, but Wu Sadi understood.

Stolypin, the first prime minister of Tsarist Russia, had recently suffered from the suspicion of the Tsar, and Izvorisky was the foreign minister recommended by Stolypin, who was very disliked by the Tsar.

Why does everyone know not to provoke Zhao Chuanxin, but Izvorisky is so brave?

Didn't Kuo Suovic think that Zhao Chuanxin would make an example of the monkey at the beginning?

The two were silent, and went to the negotiation meeting with the rest of the group.

Today's atmosphere is obviously different, just opened, Zhao Chuanxin, who had not spoken for several days, took a sip of water from a good-looking glass bottle, and said lightly: "Zhao has no patience to talk nonsense with you, in a word, okay, or not?" If it doesn't work, we'll do it. ”

Wu Sadi: "......"

Rudanov: "......"

Kosovic said: "Don't be impatient, we have agreed to the other conditions, except for one point, the indemnity is reduced to 50,000 taels of silver." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Qing court representatives were shocked.

What?

I blanched ...... Did the tsar really agree to cede the land + pay indemnities?

Zhao Chuanxin relied on himself to do what the whole country did not do.

Aixin Jueluo Yixuan sat on the chair in a daze, and his heart turned upside down.

Xu Shichang looked sideways and frequently looked at Zhao Chuanxin.

Song Xiaolian and Huang Shifu opened their mouths, and they didn't know what to say.

It's weird.

It was clearly a major diplomatic victory, but no one in the Qing court showed joy.

Only Wu Luzhen was holding it vigorously in the back, holding it, and her face was flushed before she swallowed the applauding words.

There was an uproar in the press gallery.

"Zhao Chuanxin alone defeated the entire country of Tsarist Russia!"
