The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhou Shuren and his students returned to Shaoxing after finishing their trip to the Nanyang Industrial Exposition.

He received a painting specially sent by Zhao Chuanxin, and he liked it very much.

After returning home, he called three or five friends to watch it together.

Fan Ainong was so absorbed in looking at the painting "Runtu" that he exclaimed "Ah" for a long time.

Everyone asked, "What's wrong?"

Fan Ainong pointed to the watermelons in the painting and said, "Look at these watermelons, are there any words on them?"

Zhou Shuren's teacher Shou Jingwu was old and his eyes were blurry, and he couldn't see anything else after looking for a long time.

Zhou Shuren took out a magnifying glass, and this time several people exclaimed "Ah" at the same time.

In the painting, the light and dark sides of the watermelon are composed of short lines.

Because the lines are too dense, if you don't look closely, you can't see any clues at all.

But under the magnifying glass, everything is visible.

Zhou Shuren was surprised and said, "It's a Japanese name, Tachibana Koichiro-dead!"

Fan Ainong frowned, "Who is Tachibana Koichiro?"

No one present knew.

Zhou Shuren liked this painting and decided to ask about it.

After several twists and turns, he finally figured out the identity of this person - the commander of the 19th Division of Japan in South Korea.

"I know." Fan Ainong said excitedly: "Zhao Chuanxin once told the British envoy to China, Sir John Jordan, when he would die. Sure enough, Sir John Jordan was killed outside the Forbidden City."

Zhou Shuren was shocked: "In the painting Zhao Chuanxin sent to me, did he sentence Tachibana Koichirō to death?"

"Of course."

"Then the painting he sent to others..."

...

Zhao Chuanxin hammered Li Zaiming to death and took Ge Yunpeng out.

Ge Yunpeng said: "The body of Aries has been sent back to the other side. Should we wait until the funeral before sending troops?"

"No, the little devils can't wait to die."

Zhao Chuanxin took out a cigar and lit it.

At this time, the Back Water Army escorted several Koreans to come.

Among these people, there were men, women, old and young.

"Captain Ge, these people are willing to act as running dogs for the Japanese and took advantage of the patrol of the guard team. How should we deal with them?"

Ge Yunpeng looked at Zhao Chuanxin, who said indifferently with a cigar in his mouth: "Execute them on the spot."

Hearing him say this, the local Korean gentry in Huining cried: "How can you be so cold-blooded?"

Zhao Chuanxin blew a smoke ring: "Just practice hard."

"..."

Bang bang bang...

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhao Chuanxin executed these men, women, old and young without hesitation.

The Koreans watching the excitement around were stunned by the bodies in the pool of blood.

Zhao Chuanxin said again: "Learn more from the little devils, pull out Li Zaiming, tie him to a pole and hang him up for public display."

"Yes."

Zhao Chuanxin told Ge Yunpeng: "I hate protesting and marching after being bullied. Only when you take advantage can you play the role of a victim. If you suffer a loss, you can only retaliate, retaliate, and retaliate again. Remember."

Ge Yunpeng wiped the cold sweat and remembered this set of unconventional operations.

He was obedient. After several years, he acted exactly as Zhao Chuanxin said. The Japanese described him as a mad dog that bites without barking.

There were only more than 2,000 soldiers crossing the river, and the rest were deployed on the north bank of the river.

Including the escort team, there were more than 3,000 people on this side, marching southward.

Zhao Chuanxin told Ge Yunpeng: "Show off in the streets and say that I, Zhao Chuanxin, am here. Don't be afraid to engage in a firefight with the devils."

Ge Yunpeng originally thought that Zhao Chuanxin would go into battle, and was surprised to hear this: "Captain, we only have less than 4,000 people, and the 19th Division of the devils has at least 15,000 people. We may not be their opponent!"

"Do as I say."

"Yes."

Ge Yunpeng gritted his teeth and deployed his troops.

Fortunately, the weapons were excellent and the equipment was complete.

When they arrived in North Chungcheong Province, the Japanese garrison sent someone out to shout: "You have crossed the border, return quickly, otherwise we will open fire."

Ge Yunpeng could not ask Zhao Chuanxin for everything, so he immediately sent someone to negotiate: "Hand over the murderer, otherwise war is inevitable."

The Japanese replied: "I don't know what murderer you are talking about, but please leave quickly."

Ge Yunpeng waved his hand: "Fire."

Boom...

Boom...

The Japanese artillery regiment fought back.

Obviously, they were well prepared.

But the situation that Ge Yunpeng was worried about did not happen. The Japanese side only had one regiment of troops deployed.

So the two sides fought vigorously.

In Fengshan, Liu Ai saw that all the Japanese soldiers who had blocked the way had dispersed and evacuated to other areas.

He breathed a sigh of relief, carried the Guanshan knife on his back and crossed the mountains and ridges, ready to go home.

After walking for half a day, he heard the rumbling of artillery.

"The fight has begun!"

Liu Ai patted his forehead in annoyance: "I can't miss the opportunity to avenge Bai Yang, otherwise Guotie'er will be angry with me."

Bai Yang and Guotie'er have a close relationship.

He went back without caring about the hardship.

And Ge Yunpeng fought for two days and found that the Japanese had not sent reinforcements.

He couldn't help but ask Zhao Chuanxin curiously: "Captain, how did you know that the Japanese would not send reinforcements?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I guess they have some traps waiting for me."

Ge Yunpeng was puzzled: "What if they don't have traps and send reinforcements directly?"

Zhao Chuanxin supported his temple with his index finger: "If you send reinforcements, send reinforcements, are you afraid of them?"

"In the current situation, the little devils are up to something!"

"It seems so."

"Should we send reinforcements?"

Zhao Chuanxin smiled slightly: "If you send reinforcements, you will send reinforcements to me."

"..."

At night, Zhao Chuanxin released 10 black widow puppets and sneaked into the Japanese position.

Bang, bang, bang...

The Japanese position was in chaos.

In just a moment, more than a hundred people were killed.

Zhao Chuanxin wore sunglasses, clasped his hands together, and waited with his chin on his hand.

The black widow puppet turned around, and he released the puppet slave to change the magazine for the black widow puppet, and then released it.

Bang, bang, bang...

The black widow puppet is small in size and moves quickly. It is extremely hidden at night, and its close-range shooting accuracy is extremely high and difficult to defend.

After three rounds, the Japanese army began to retreat.

At the same time, the Lugang Town Insurance Team launched an attack on the Japanese army in Hulutao.

Although the Japanese army on the other side of the Yalu River was prepared, the insurance team's attack was too sharp, and the Japanese garrison was defeated in a moment.

Before midnight, the insurance team actually captured Houchang County on the other side of the river.

The Japanese army suffered more than 500 casualties.

After receiving the news, Tachibana Koichiro was dumbfounded: "Baga, how could we be defeated so easily?"

The staff officer was sweating: "Division Commander, the security team sent out the most elite inner team. They secretly crossed the river and supported from the inside. We were hard to defend against, and even the artillery was useless. The entire battle lasted only half an hour, and we were defeated. In fact, everyone in the security team's inner team is the elite among the elites, and the combat quality of the enemy and us is not at the same level at all."

"Where is Zhao Chuanxin, is he still not moving?"

At this moment, a communicator came to report: "Report, division commander, the 73rd Regiment was attacked by mysterious weapons, and the commander of the regiment, Takahashi Hisazo, was killed, and more than 300 people were killed and injured."

Tachibana Koichiro gritted his teeth: "Damn Aoki Nobuzumi, go ask him why Zhao Chuanxin didn't attack?"

The staff officer hurried away.

After a moment, the staff officer returned: "Division Commander, Aoki Nobuzumi said that he could only analyze the movements of Zhao Chuanxin and the Backwater Army through intelligence, but he could not influence Zhao Chuanxin's actions. He asked us to increase troops while retreating to lure Zhao Chuanxin out."

Tachibana Koichiro paced back and forth anxiously: "Using a division to pretend to hunt down a person, is this really worth it? Are the military and the emperor crazy?"

The emperor wanted revenge, and Hasegawa Yoshimichi also hated Zhao Chuanxin. He took the opportunity to incite the military and instruct Army Minister Uehara Yusaku to add another two divisions in South Korea.

Originally, the cabinet disagreed. Considering that the target they wanted to hunt down was Zhao Chuanxin, they had to back off, but only allowed the addition of two regiments.

The trap has been set, and now it is the stage of inviting the enemy into the trap.

Tachibana Koichiro was very unhappy. He had a staff department, but he had to listen to Aoki Nobuzumi's advice and watched his soldiers die one by one.

But he can only do it now.

On the other side, Ge Yunpeng was overjoyed: "They retreated, the Japanese soldiers were repelled by us!"

Since the death of Liu Yonghe, the Beishui Army needed a major victory to boost morale.

Du Lisan also came.

He was dressed in military uniform and equipped with the same weapons as the Beishui Army.

Du Lisan was very happy: "Tomorrow I will also go to the battlefield. Although there has been peace in these years, my spear skills have not fallen, and my thigh muscles have not grown. I think the horse emperor Du Lizi of the past is back again."

Everyone was excited, except Zhao Chuanxin, who smiled and said nothing.

The next day, Ge Yunpeng was interviewed by a war correspondent in Lugang Town.

Ge Yunpeng told the reporter: "I am very sad. The caravan guards under our Beishui Army were brutally killed by the Japanese, but the Japanese showed an ugly face that refused to admit it. A weak country has no diplomacy. It is useless to rely on the court. They have long been frightened by the powers and Japan. I can only rely on myself to strive for justice for the dead as soon as possible..."

The reporter scratched his head: "Didn't the Beishui Army just win the battle?"

Ge Yunpeng kept in mind Zhao Chuanxin's motto of taking advantage and pretending to be the victim, and taking revenge when suffering losses.

He said in a heavy tone: "What kind of victory is this? The reason why the Japanese only have one regiment here is because they are guilty. Only when the real murderer is caught can it be considered a victory."

The reporter asked curiously: "Who is the real murderer? Is there any inside story behind the death of the Aries Guard Captain?"

Ge Yunpeng nodded: "That's right. The mastermind behind the scenes is Tachibana Koichiro."

The reporter was astonished: "Does the Backwater Army want to arrest the commander of the Japanese 19th Division?"

Ge Yunpeng sighed: "I don't want to see people suffer, I just hope to influence Tachibana Koichiro and hope he can surrender on his own initiative."

Reporter: You are so bold.

After being interviewed, Ge Yunpeng thought of Liu Baogui, and only then did he realize the beauty of pretending in front of others.

He asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Captain, what will the Japanese do next?"

"I found that I have the potential to be a detective, maybe I can become a policeman in the future." Zhao Chuanxin stroked his chin: "I guess Tachibana Koichiro will withdraw while increasing troops."

"Why?" Ge Yunpeng frowned: "Are the Japanese determined to retreat and don't want us to chase?"

"Just the opposite. He wants to force me to do it. Have you chased rabbits? First set up a trap and chase the rabbit along the rabbit's trail. In winter, rabbits are used to running along old footprints in the snow and diving into the trap. The more they struggle, the tighter the trap becomes, and finally they strangle themselves to death."

Ge Yunpeng felt that this was too trifling for war.

He didn't quite believe it.

"Before chasing to Fengshan, we should be cautious and not be greedy for merit and rush. Since Tachibana Koichiro is willing to sacrifice his subordinates, let's fulfill his wish."

...

The news of the Beishui Army and Lugang Town's consecutive victories spread across the country through Lugang Town journals and newspapers.

The Lugangzhen Journal has a headquarters and three branches, one in Tianjin, one in Hong Kong Island, and one in Hankou.

Main news is delivered by telegram or telephone, and other gossip is delivered according to local conditions.

It was just a small fight at first, but this exclusive interview in the battlefield made "Lugang Town Journal" an instant hit.

When Zhou Shuren saw the report, he was immediately shocked: "It seems that Tachibana Koichiro will definitely die!"

Recently, the most popular movies in Internet cinemas have changed from "Sakhalin Journey" to "Fist of Fury" and "Guan Shan Dao".

You can always hear children screaming in the streets and alleys: "Ada Ada... da da da da..."

Many young people carry a dagger on their backs when they have nothing to do.

Some people even walk around the streets carrying a knife.

This scene often appears in Japanese stores.

Several young people went in and spat at the counter: "Ah...tui! Little devil!"

There was even a vicious incident in which a Japanese was murdered on Hong Kong Island.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan has notified the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing court, asking them to control the movie "Fist of Fury".

But firstly, there is no "SARFT", and secondly, even if there was one, they would not dare to take care of Zhao Chuanxin.

After the movie was released, people began to hate Japan.

When Japan annexed South Korea, it directly confirmed the militarism mentioned in the movie and their conspiracy to dominate East Asia.

Not to mention the Chinese people, even if the foreign devils saw it, they would spit at the Japanese.

The movie is too provocative.

So much so that someone always came to Huo Yuanjia's house to advise him not to take Japanese medicine when he was sick.

As a result, Fearless was supposed to be poisoned by Japanese doctors this year, but he is still alive and kicking.

When Aiyang, the captain of the caravan guard outside the customs, was killed, the people cursed, held demonstrations, and clamored for the punishment of the murderer.

Then the Beishui Army and Lugang Town started fighting with Japan.

The people clapped their hands and applauded.

When the news of successive wins came, many people happily set off firecrackers.

The wave of boycotts of Japanese goods has been revived.

Zhou Shuren was dumbfounded.

"Zhao Chuanxin had already planned it! He was a god at predicting events. When he was filming the movie, he probably had already thought about when Japan would annex South Korea. In addition, the guard captain was killed, which attracted the common people to express their hatred for the enemy."

"Quickly, find a way to contact the other people from the Nanyang Quarantine Association who have obtained paintings and ask them what is written in the paintings."

…

Tokyo.

Because the war situation on the front line was unfavorable, there were rumors that it was because the Spiritualist Club was bombed.

Meiji hurriedly set off to the Soul Calling Club to worship and appease people's hearts.

Halfway through the convoy, there was only a loud bang.

boom……

The guard was shocked: "There are assassins, there are assassins, there are..."

boom……

Several guards were blown away.

boom……

It was actually a series of explosions.

Super doubled.

Hidden Miyashita Taiji was so excited when he held the remote control that the pimples on his nose turned red.

Hiratsugai and Utagawa Masanobu were shocked, but the most shocked was Isotani Rensuke.

Isotani Rensuke looked blankly at Miyashita Taiyoshi and the remote control in his hand: "This, this, how is this done? There should be a lead to connect the power supply..."

Miyashita Taiyoshi flipped the switch again.

boom.

Immediately, he turned his head and stared at Isoya Rensuke fiercely: "Lead wire? Have you ever seen an electrically controlled bomb? That thing is only available in the military. How do you know?"

"I, I..." In a hurry, Isotani Rensuke lost his mind. At this time, the words had been spoken and it was difficult to take them back: "I guessed it. How did you know that the military department has it?"

Miyashita Taiji did not answer, but said coldly: "The matter between us is not over yet, I will deal with you later."

Upon hearing this, Hirotsugai and Masanobu Utagawa clamped Isotani Rensuke on both sides to prevent him from escaping.

…

When Meiji was bombed, Zhao Chuanxin appeared on the battlefield.

Xingyue told him: "At this time, we need to create an alibi."

Ever since Zhao Chuanxin gave Gongxia Taiji the bronze eye, although Miyaxia Taiji has been wearing it, he has only recited the "Summoning Bandit Curse" once.

I have to admit that these two idiots are quite stubborn.

Although Zhao Chuanxin didn't pay attention to him, Xingyue kept monitoring him.

Discovering that he really seized the opportunity to bomb Meiji, Xingyue reminded Zhao Chuanxian to create an alibi.

Whether decapitation is useful depends on the size of the enemy camp.

If it is a small organization, it is indeed useful to carry out precise military strikes on its brains.

But for countries like Japan, Russia, Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom, in addition to triggering a humanitarian crisis, it will also make their people share the same hatred of the enemy, and it will also make Zhao Chuanxin unite with his enemies around the world.

This would not only bring down the Qing court, but also cause the country to suffer economic and military blows in the coming decades.

That was an unbearable burden for Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin made a high-profile appearance, holding a Xingyue M1909 light machine and shooting.

Tata Tata...

"It's Zhao Chuanxin!"

"Zhao Chuanxin is here, retreat."

The 73rd Regiment of the 19th Division once again discovered that Zhao Chuanxin had no fighting spirit after showing up and retreated directly.

Zhao Chuanxin flashed forward, collected his light machine and fired with the God of War M1907.

Chug tug tug...

There were too many witnesses to count.

Ge Yunpeng looked through the binoculars and watched Zhao Chuanxin rush into the Japanese army's position and kill them with blood flying everywhere.

The feeling of numbness in the scalp and electric shock all over the body is something that many people will never experience in their lifetime.

Du Lisan was a sharpshooter. He shot two Japanese soldiers today and was in high spirits.

He excitedly asked: "Brigadier Ge, do we want to cover up and kill him?"

"What cover and kill? The captain said that Japan may have set up an ambush, so we are holding back."

"He's still going if there's an ambush?"

Just as he was talking, a soldier came to report: "Brigadier, Liu Ai is back."

Ge Yunpeng was stunned: "Bring him here quickly."

Liu Ai was covered in dirt and tattered clothes, but his Guanshandao was well protected.

He covered the torn clothes on his chest to prevent exposure: "Don't move forward, the Japanese buried bombs, and they also have planes, with machine guns and bombs on the planes."

Ge Yunpeng suddenly stood up from the trench: "What?"

Du Lisan hurriedly pressed his head down: "Crazy, we are still within the effective range of the Japanese!"

Ge Yunpeng looked anxious: "Hurry up and call the captain back!"

Du Lisan raised the telescope: "Too late, Mr. Zhao was here a moment ago, but now he is gone."

Liu Ai said angrily: "It's all my fault, I should have come back a quarter of an hour earlier."

Ge Yunpeng suddenly remembered something: "It doesn't matter. The captain told me earlier that the Japanese would increase their troops during the retreat. Since the start of the war, the captain has anticipated the enemy's every move and told me that the Japanese would set a trap and wait for him to fall into it."

The two hurriedly asked what was going on, and the soldiers around them also listened with their ears tilted.

Ge Yunpeng described it vividly.

After he finished speaking, he found that the eyes of the people around him were full of admiration.

Ge Yunpeng waved his hand: "You don't have to admire and respect me too much, I'm just doing my job."

"Ah!" Liu Ai pinched his waist with one hand: "Captain Ge, you have also learned to be shameless. Everyone admires the shopkeeper."

Du Lisan pointed at Liu Ai: "You, that part is exposed."

Liu Ai screamed: "Ah..."

He quickly covered his chest.

After Ge Yunpeng laughed, he said solemnly: "Boss Du, I'm still worried. You and Liu Ai take people to investigate."

Du Lisan and Liu Ai took the order and left.

They rode their horses for less than two miles, and heard a buzzing sound coming from the sky.

Everyone hurriedly took out the telescope.

"It's a plane!"

"I saw Mr. Zhao."

"It's bad, the shopkeeper has reached the minefield..."

Boom!
