"What's the joy of?" Zhao Chuanxin was full of question marks: "Did you find out that I might have to change my teeth?" ”

"......" Zhang Shouzeng didn't understand, how could an adult change his teeth: "Happy event, the Arms Limitation Committee of the Hague Peace Conference has promised you to join." However, they will require you to go to the Netherlands in person to sign and receive the official documents. ”

"To the Netherlands?" Zhao Chuanxin was taken aback, at this time, there seemed to be something more in Leng Buding's mind, as if who was coming from the Netherlands?

"Exactly, that's what it should be." Zhang Shouzeng thinks it's normal. "If you are someone else, you may only need to keep official documents, but you are different, they are worried that you will sell mutton on the head of a dog, saying one thing and doing another."

Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart that Lao Tzu didn't just want to hide from the world and cross the sea, but he said with a straight face: "It's really a group of villains with dog stomachs, and the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, how can Zhao be that kind of person?" ”

Zhang Shouzeng: "......"

Well, it's really hard to evaluate.

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to go to Sakhalin Island to start construction immediately, but now it seems that he will delay another one or two.

"Okay, I know, I'll go to the Netherlands in a few days."

Zhang Shouzeng frowned: "This matter is sooner rather than later, how long will it take in a few days?" Bellenate personally sent a telegram to inquire. ”

"Uh......" When Zhao Chuanxin groaned, Xingyue had already given the answer, Zhao Chuanxin looked at the date on his glasses and said: "Almost before the fifteenth day of the lunar month, I can get to The Hague." ”

Zhang Shouzeng pinched his fingers and calculated, and nodded: "That's okay, I'll tell him to set off before January 6 of the Western calendar......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned: "What? Arriving before the fifteenth day of the lunar month? ”

Departure and arrival are not the same concept at all.

It's December 5 in the Western calendar.

It's almost Christmas in the West.

If you arrive before January 6th, wouldn't you at least have to leave now?

If you leave now and take a boat, you may not be able to get there.

Zhao Chuanxin was noncommittal: "Anyway, you just said it." ”

Many people in Yubin Mansion know that Zhao Chuanxin has the ability to "travel 800 miles, and return to the twilight".

Isn't there a poem to praise and say: How is Dai Zongfu, Qi Lu Qingwei is not over...... How far can the Shenxing Taibao run? It's like the beautiful mountains of Qilu land without end......

From here to The Hague, it's really a long way away, far away in the sky.

Dai Zongsheng also had to break his legs, and the vests were all scrapped for him, and he didn't know how many Qilu lands he had to run to get there.

Before Zhang Shouzeng left, he still asked: "Are you going to leave now?" ”

"Let's go now, ......" Zhao Chuanxin leaned back: "Wait until the beginning of next month to leave, don't be in a hurry." ”

I blanched ......

Zhang Shouzeng felt that the prefect was unreliable, how could he be honest?

And Xingyue said: At the latest, on the 5th of next month, the 12th Bronze Eye will be able to arrive at Ethan Manor. Since I can't go to Sakhalin and The Hague for the time being, we will leave for the Morrison Library, where I need to look at the formula for pi and deal with ball 13. If you have time, you will rest all day tomorrow and go to the Heavenly Flying Peace Academy, and by the way, take down the No. 6 bronze eye on the city wall of Liangzhou, and then teleport to the Qinling Mountains to take down the No. 7 bronze eye.

"Why?" Zhao Chuanxin was arranged clearly, but he felt that it was too troublesome.

Xingyue said: Because you will definitely insert an eye in the Netherlands, and there is a serious shortage of copper eyes at present.

"Why?"

Xingyue actually hesitated for a moment, and only replied after a moment: Because of William Minna.

"I'm blanching!" Zhao Chuanxin slapped his thigh: "I'll just say, I forgot something." My Majesty, we are confidants. ”

Xingyue said: I think you have tarnished the word confidant.

"Presumptuous!"

Zhao Chuanxin was inexplicably a little happy.

He got up humming a little tune, grabbed his coat from the hanger, and wanted to go out.

At this time, Hu Er hurriedly entered the door: "My lord, there are horse bandits who are making trouble and framing our gray axe army!" ”

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes, he didn't move for a long time, and his body was about to rust, so someone came to the door to send people's heads.

"Tell me more."

Hu Er said: "The subordinate took people to the north to patrol the defense as usual, and he noticed that the local Russians showed hatred for our patrol police. The subordinate immediately stepped forward to ask, and the Russians flickered. Finally, it turned out that a few days ago, a group of people wearing cotton coats with gray axe medals sewn on their sleeves had plundered them. Such Russians are resentful but dare not report to the official......"

Zhao Chuanxin understood.

They felt that the Gray Axe Army was going to rob them, and it was useless to report to the officials.

"Have you found out who it is? Have you explained it to them? ”

Hu Er shook his head with a wry smile: "I explained, but the lower officials thought that they might not believe it." As for who it is, because the incident has been going on for many days, the Russians are good at patience, and it would be difficult to detect it if it were not for our patrol. They are just spreading word of mouth among the Russians, and if they continue for a long time, they will turn against them. ”

Running the border is the most troublesome.

In ancient times, Zhuge Liang captured Meng seven times, and Zuo Zongtang recently set up a "military court" in Western Xinjiang.

In the original history, after two or three years, Outer Mongolia was about to make trouble, and then cut off its own tail, and finally went around and did not come back.

Zhao Chuanxin has the ability and courage to break their thoughts, and has the courage to expand the territory, but it is one thing to operate, and the thousand-day thief prevention is the most troublesome.

Let's just say that these Russians, if they are well governed, can make them a minority in China; If the governance is not good, it is to raise a group of moles.

He lit a cigarette and sat back down, "Well, let me think about it first......

……

Redstone Village.

A tall Russian man raised his fist and spittled and roared: "Damn the Khitans, damn the Gray Axe Army, I know they are not good people." ”

Another elderly woman tilted her head and squinted her eyes, and her fingers were pointed in the air: "You robbed us of our food, and you dare to come to ask questions." If it hadn't been cold, we would have left the earlier battle. ”

Everyone gathered together and verbally crusaded against the evil Gray Axe Army.

Two of them were hacked to death, and their homes were robbed of their surplus food and money.

Now I can't even afford a train ticket.

A man was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "I was driven out of the mill on the Ergun River by Zhao Chuanxin, and I was robbed here again, where else can I go now?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Leave, to say lightly.

But how can those who have already settled here leave easily?

On such a cold day, there is no food, and some people's firewood and grass are burned, which is simply desperate.

As he spoke, there was the muffled sound of horses' hooves outside.

Listening to the sound should be a big team.

Everyone looked panicked, could it be that the damned Gray Axe Army was preparing to harvest a wave of leeks again?

But they have nothing but the clothes on their bodies, what else can they rob?

At this time, a loud voice came: "All the people from Redstone Village come out, all the people from Redstone Village come out......"

The people in the house all looked at Andrei Yefimovich, the most prestigious person in Redstone Village.

Andrei Efimovich was a respected elder who grew up to join the army after witnessing Alexander II sign the decree abolishing serfdom.

In 1875, the people of the Kokand Khanate, occupied and oppressed by the Russians, began to revolt, and the Russians recaptured Margalang in several groups, and Andrei Yefimovich smoked cigarettes under the walls of Margalang next to the bodies of the dark-skinned Kokand Khan rebels.

The two thick black beards that had grown on the lips of Andrei Yefimovich, who were in high spirits at that time, had already crawled all over his face, and they were already white.

But he is still calm and murderous.

"Don't panic," he calmly said, "the killing and looting itself is all about land and money. Money, we're gone, it's a big deal for us to give up the land. ”

Someone muttered: "You can't say that, when we got money and land in Hailanpao, we still slaughtered so many Khitans." ”

Andrei Yefimovich glared, and his cane was pestled on the ground: "Whether it is the original Kokand Khanate, or the later Kyrgyz, or the current Khitans, in the face of the indestructible power of our Russian people, they will eventually break their heads and bleed!" If they dare to resist, they should be killed! Okay, without further ado, you guys go out with me and see what's going on. ”

His tone was resolute, his old frame was still erect, and his left leg, which had been in agony since being hit by a stray bullet, could not stop his progress.

His posture convinced the Russians of Redstone Village.

And they went out with him.

Then he saw the True Grey Axe.

It is also a horse team composed of Mongolians, but the horse bandits in Tauktahu before are very different from the gray axe army that has been trained for a period of time.

Hu Da is a talent, and the soldiers of the Gray Axe Army he selected are all good riders and good marksmen, and they are all elites selected from various cattle records.

In weekday training, Zhao Chuanxin doesn't interfere much, but every time he gives advice, he can get to the point.

For example, the three-three formation of the infantry team, such as the second-line echelon offensive support continuation method of the cavalry, and the most important supervision of the army.

The new army of the Qing court had a staff officer, and the great beautiful state had a military chaplain.

This is equivalent to our commissar later.

The role of military supervisors is political and ideological education.

The military superintendent is currently only in its infancy, preaching patriotic education and military discipline to the soldiers of the Gray Axe Army every day, telling them every day to fight for the protection of the land of Yubin Province, to fight for the protection of the villagers of Yubin Province, to fight for the recapture of the territory divided by the foreign powers, and to fight for their own future.

Because of the supervision of the army, even if it is not mature, the spirit of the Gray Axe Army is different from that of the stragglers.

In addition, the horses that came today were all well-trained, and the riders were as steady as Mount Tai on horseback, holding guns without squinting.

Their military uniforms were cotton coats custom-made by Zhao Chuanxin in Lugang Town, which were well-made, the gray axe logo on the sleeves was delicate and uniform, and the copper buckle on the chest glittered in the sun.

Andrei Efimovich, who came out of the house, saw it and chuckled in his heart: Could it be that what those patrolmen said was true? It's really not the Gray Axe Army who came to loot?

Andrei Efimovich saw that the man at the head was also wearing a gray axe army cotton coat, but he was exceptionally tall, wearing delicate metal-rimmed glasses, and had a cigar in his mouth, and the smoke of the cigar rose so that he could not see the man's face clearly.

"I'm Zhao Chuanxin, the prefect of Yubin Prefecture!" The man's words made Andrei Yefimovich stunned.

They were robbed, and this matter is not big or small.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin was alerted to be present in person.

"My lord, I am the representative of the village of Red Stone, Andrei Efimovich."

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at him, turned over and dismounted, and walked straight over.

Andrew Efimovich has fought and won many battles.

But the oncoming Zhao Chuanxin gave him overwhelming pressure.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Andrew Yefimovich condescendingly: "I have heard of you, you have joined the army, and you have followed the Russian captain Prosenkonan to fight in the north and made military achievements. Retired from old age, choose to live in the Far East......"

The translator retold his words to Andrew Efimovich.

Zhao Chuanxin's Russian at this time was still far behind, and he needed time for Xingyue to irrigate.

"......" Andrew Efimovich was silent, and people had already inquired about him. My lord, I'm just an old man in the middle of the weather, and I'm lame even on one leg. ”

These words are as weak as a beast lying on the ground and showing its belly in submission.

The eyes of the villagers of Redstone Village widened, is this still the majestic old Andrew Efimovich?

Zhao Chuanxin sneered: "What do you think of my Gray Axe Army? ”

Andrew Yefimovich looked at the Gray Axe: "Well trained. ”

Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "What do you think of the so-called Gray Axe Army that came to rob you that day?" ”

"This ......," Andrew Efimovich said, "a rabble." ”

"You all call me the butcher of the Far East behind your back."

"No...... Can't. Andrew Yefimovich bowed his head, a little afraid to look at Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin held a cigar, suddenly raised his hand, and gave an order: "The whole army draws its sword!" ”

"Boom!"

More than 100 people in the whole army drew their swords in unison.

"Shut down!"

"Boom!"

Collect the knife neatly.

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at Hu Da who came with him and said, "Xietong Zhana, lead the team to attack the second echelon in the east, and return with two rounds of guns." ”

Because Hu Da trained his troops well, Zhao Chuanxin promoted him to be the assistant commander of the Yubin Mansion Mixed Association, and the vacated position of chief card officer was temporarily vacant.

The Qing court complained about this, but there was nothing to be done.

"Command!" Hu Da hugged his fists.

Say it, call the shots.

The centaurs were divided into two teams, one team charged the fire to concentrate on one round, and the cavalry pulled the bolt on the horseback firmly and quickly and calmly pressed the lever for the second round of shooting, and then deflected the direction, drew the cavalry knife and circled around, and slashed at the imaginary enemy in a uniform manner.

The second team followed from the other side, covering the same wing with fire, the same two rounds, and then drew their swords and slashed.

The cavalry mounts that came today were all horses, as steady as old dogs.

This kind of operation, just like the ADC walking A, looks like it has no momentum, but in the actual battle, if the front-line troops in the front row enter the rear flank of the position and are attacked, at this time, the horse team suddenly counterattacks to carry out fire confrontation and decisive charge, and the distance of 3-3.5 kilometers is enough to reverse the tide of the battle.

If the enemy loses one or the other, the psychological defense line will collapse directly.

Andrew Efimovich understands war and his eyelids jump wildly.

And the Russians in Hongshi Village, who don't understand war, are also terrified.

Waiting for the horse team to turn around, Hu Da's face turned a little red.

That's exciting.

Although today's battle is not big, he has been training for a long time, and his appearance in front of people still makes his heart sway.

The key is that he trained the newly built horse team very well in a short period of time.

At this time, the Gray Axe Army was on a higher level than when it fought with the Tsarist Russian troops.

Again, even the Cossacks, who also grew up on horseback, did not pay attention to them.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Andrew Yefimovich: "What do you think?" ”

Andrew Yefimovich shook his beard: "Very strong, very strong......"

Must be strong.

The front platoon encountered a powerful volley, and the Knights of the Gray Axe Army relied on Walking A to hit a critical hit.

Zhao Chuanxin flicked his cigar away, and a sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

He drew his sword, pointed its tip at the sky, and shouted at the Gray Axe Army Knights who came back with white gas: "The Gray Axe Army is invincible! ”

"The Gray Axe Army is invincible!"

The crowd shouted hoarsely.

The villagers of Hongshi Village retreated in fright.

Zhao Chuanxin returned the sword into the sheath, and looked at Andrew Yefimovich happily: "I don't want to explain, the people who robbed you before are not our Gray Axe Army, you can judge for yourself." ”

Andrew Yefimovich's lips trembled, and he looked back at the earth-colored villagers of Hongshi Village, and his voice became hoarse: "My lord, we were wrong. ”

It would be stupid for him to not understand at this point.

How can those improvised horse bandits in Tauktaohu have the momentum of the Gray Axe Army?

Far from it.

But Andrew Efimovich bowed again and said, "Forgive our ignorance, my lord, that I should not be suspicious of an army trained by a man called the god of war. However, the villagers of our Hongshi Village have been robbed by horse bandits, and they are hungry and can no longer survive this cold winter, so please have mercy on you......"

The corners of Zhao Chuanxin's mouth rose.

That's what he wants.

First show these Russians who remain in the territory the strength of the Gray Axe Army.

Don't snort all day long.

Then let them see the difference between the Grey Axe Army and the Horse Bandits.

Let them judge for themselves what is true or false.

In the end, Zhao Chuanxin knew that they were robbed.

If they bow their heads and admit their mistakes, thinking that they are the people of Yubin Mansion, then Yubin Mansion will be in charge to the end.

So Zhao Chuanxin asked them: "You can't eat enough and dress warmly now, and you know that you can't survive this winter." The official only asks you one thing - should you be the people of Yubin Mansion? ”

Everyone was silent.

In fact, most people don't care.

Tsarist Russia's exploitation of the people at the bottom is very serious, otherwise where would the money come from after half a century of fighting in the last century?

But there are also those who don't open their eyes, and there is a man who said in a small voice: "I am not a Khitan......

Before the words fell, Zhao Chuanxin raised the sword with the sheath and drew it.

"Smack......

"Poof......

The man's head was tilted, and a bloody tooth was spat out.

Seeing the teeth, Zhao Chuanxin was happy - someone accompanied him to lose his teeth.

He sneered: "Slapping you is to correct you - what you see today are all Chinese, there are no Khitans!" The Khitan has been destroyed a long time ago, and whoever dares to call it like this in the future will slap him in the mouth. Then, since you don't think you are Chinese, not a common man in Xubin Province, then you don't have to go to the Government and Goods Bureau of Xubin Province to get relief tickets, you go back to Tsarist Russia and see if the local government takes care of you. ”

The Russians looked at each other.

Andrew Efimovich asked what they thought: "My lord, what is the relief ticket?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin stepped back.

The discerning overseer of the army, Galdan, stood up.

He had been a lama for a few years, and then he was a layman.

With an aura of compassion and compassion, Zhao Chuanxin asked people to train him to be a military supervisor.

Galdan clasped his hands together: "Relief tickets, that is, our prefects are kind-hearted, in order to let the poor families on the grassland live, the adults will issue relief tickets, at least let a few families survive this winter......"

The Russians looked a little excited when they heard this.

Even if they return to Russia, they will be left to fend for themselves.

But there is still this benefit in the Hamin Mansion?

Zhao Chuanxin has already gone back.

He said to Hu Da: "You can do the rest." It had just snowed heavily a few days ago, and I was thinking that I could track the traces of the horse bandits and see if I could find anyone, so I went first. ”

Hu Da admired that the prefect killed three birds with one stone, which not only shocked these Russians, but also unraveled their hostility, and finally won over a wave of people's hearts.

Zhao Chuanxin said to himself: "I delayed the trip......"

Turning around the woods, he immediately teleported to the capital......
