The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 165 Braving Sunset Town

This is how regional pride breeds.

Zhao Chuanxin encouraged arrogance intentionally or unintentionally.

Every time he raises the welfare of Lugang Town, the salary and pension standards of the insurance team members will increase.

In the late Qing Dynasty, force was the only thing that could really be relied on.

One day in the future, the insurance team of Lugang Town will never allow anyone to be more powerful than themselves, and will never allow others to be better than themselves. At that time, Zhao Chuanxin feels that he can sit back and relax and plan his retirement life.

On the third day, the company published the news in the newspaper.

They are very stupid. Although they have explained some things, they have not told the whole story.

For example, in the "Ta Kung Pao": Oshima Yichang, the governor stationed in the Northeast, clashed with the Lugang Town Insurance Team in order to protect the area under the jurisdiction of the Manchurian Railway. At present, the conflict has been resolved, and the Lugang Town section of the Manchuria Railway, which covers an area of ​​about 100 miles, is managed by Lugang Town. Lugang Town promised to guard the safety of this section of the Manchuria Railway.

The statement was very brief, saying nothing about their general affairs, police, finance, civil engineering, electrical, health, education, prisons, courts, taxation and other institutions, and there was no mention of their out-and-out colonial management methods.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the newspaper published in Tianjin with a sneer, picked up the pen and wrote for a while, then folded the paper: "Give this to Li Guangzong."

Gan Fan picked up the paper and ran away.

Ganfan was very famous in Lugang Town, and he had a smooth journey all the way to the police station.

"Hey, the food is here."

"Have you finished eating?"

"I'm getting fat from dry food."

Ignore these uniformed idiots.

He ran straight to Li Guangzong's office door without knocking. He raised his paw and pounced, and the door opened.

He threw the paper on the ground, turned around and ran away.

Li Guangzong picked up the paper still stained with dry rice saliva and couldn't laugh or cry.

He knew that this was Zhao Chuanxin sending him a message.

Wiping off the saliva with a rag, he opened the note and it read: The Japanese published it in the newspaper, but the newspaper was too vague. You send a telegram to the newspaper to expose their ugly face. It's so inconvenient to find me an errand boy.

Li Guangzong first sent people to find errand boys for Zhao Chuanxin, and then began to draft a statement from Lugang Town.

He has done this job of distributing newspapers in the name of Lugang Town several times, so he is familiar with it.

The good thing about being famous is that once you speak up, you generally won't be rejected.

The content of the newspaper is: Within a hundred miles of Lugang Town, the Japanese are allowed to set up financial institutions and place railway workers, but they are not allowed to have any soldiers or police stations. As for general affairs, health, education, prisons, courts and other institutions, outsiders are not allowed to comment! Any monopolistic economic activities within a hundred and fifty miles of Lugang Town will be regarded as colonial operations, which means a declaration of war on Lugang Town and will continue until the end...

Li Guangzong got the true message from Zhao Chuanxin about the matter of trying to make the most of it.

In the past, it was just that soldiers were not allowed to be stationed, but now it has become that no economic activities of a colonial nature are allowed, and various institutions are not allowed to be established.

In particular, he highlighted the institutions established by the little devils in the Northeast. Anyone who is not a fool can understand what they want to do.

Aren't you unwilling to mention it? Just like no one has a mouth, I will raise it for you.

The newspaper sent it out and the response was overwhelming.

The next day.

Lu Xun said in the newspaper: The first time Zhao Chuanxin defeated the United States, this time he defeated Japan!

Liang Qichao said in Xinmin Congbao: This is a partial victory for China.

Two words can describe Lugang Town’s counterattack: Boost your morale!

As a huge country, there is nothing that can be done against the Japanese. But the small town of Lugang made the Japanese surrender!

Japan's actions of clearly violating the norms of international law, trampling on China's legitimate rights and interests, and unilaterally establishing the Manchuria Railway had actually caused dissatisfaction with the Qing court.

The Qing court repeatedly sent protest notes to Japan, but the Japanese authorities completely ignored the Qing court's protests and adopted an attitude of "kill them on the spot and ignore them."

However, Lugang Town allowed the Japanese to give in.

Are you convinced?

Over the years, we have never heard such a strong voice in China that "if you don't accept it, do it".

Liu Guoguo held the newspaper and a cigarette between his legs, and said to Li Guangzong sourly: "You showed off your face this time by pretending well."

In fact, he also wanted to be published in the newspaper and have his name printed in the newspaper like Li Guangzong. With the power of the insurance team, he became famous all over the world!

It's a pity that although I can read and write now, I still have too much ink in my stomach to publish it in a newspaper.

Li Guangzong smiled very proudly: "I am just making a statement on behalf of our Lugang Town, not on behalf of myself."

This time the three giants held a small meeting, which felt like a show of force and seemed like business bragging.

Zhao Zhongyi also had a smile on his face: "We have exposed the deeds of the little devils in broad daylight, and they have suffered a dumb loss. Will they jump over the wall in a hurry?"

"You really need to be on guard. It happens that the recruits have been training for a while. Take the opportunity to take them out for training and patrol more to ensure that the little devils don't do sneak attacks." Li Guangzong suggested.

Liu Guogui dusted the newspaper and said, "What we have done this time has inspired many people to call on Lugang Town to support the establishment of the constitution. Do you think we can participate?"

He looked at the two of them expectantly. If he made another statement, he would have to send out a complete announcement even if he hired a gunman to write it.

I'll do whatever it takes to show off.

Li Guangzong was the first to stand up and object: "Sir, I have said that Lugang Town exists to protect the land and the family, and not to participate in such bad things."

The three of them each have their own merits. Zhao Zhongyi understands military affairs and Liu Baobao is good at solving problems, but Li Guangzong is the one with the most far-sighted vision.

He knew clearly that the Qing government's so-called constitutional inspection was just to fool fools and delay the successive uprisings. Even if they form a cabinet, it will definitely be composed of the so-called Mangui, which will be no different from now.

Zhao Zhongyi agrees with this. He doesn't like to complicate things. It's great to have stable development now.

He asked: "By the way, what have you been doing these past few days? I see Hongzhi has gone home wearing a new school uniform, with a stand-up collar, clean and energetic.

However, he doesn’t play with these clothes every day, does he? "

Li Guangzong said: "I heard from Sister Hua that he has started to set up a physical education class in the past few days and selected retired insurance team members as physical education teachers. The husband also said that future students must be as hard-working, brave and physically strong as him."

The three of them suddenly felt bored.

Perhaps these students in the future will be hard-working, brave and physically strong, but they will definitely not just imitate Zhao Chuanxin. Follow his words, yell if you feel hurt, and sit at home every day without doing your job.

Thinking that the town is full of such idle scoundrels, then Lugang Town has almost reached the end of its development.

The rogue Han Zhao worked hard to write sports textbooks.

Primary school students do exercises, run, play basketball and football.

Junior high school students enter military training, long-distance running, long jump, shot put, pull-ups and other events. Basketball and football became hobbies.

High school students enter military training, including sprinting, long jump, shot put, and pull-ups, and a fitness area is also set up.

In addition, Zhao Chuanxin also wants to set up a gymnasium, which in addition to various fitness equipment, also has basketball, football, tennis and other sports.

After checking and filling in the gaps, he put down his pen and looked at the contents with satisfaction.

"Well, it's very good. Civilization is the spirit, barbarism is the body. Now there is a library, and soon there will be a gymnasium. These two words of a great man should be regarded as our Lugang Town school motto."

Standing next to him was Fan Ziliang.

Fan Ziliang was the errand boy that Li Guangzong found for Zhao Chuanxin. This young man was under twenty and too honest. If Zhao Chuanxin asked him to go west, he would never go east.

Not to mention asking Zhao Chuanxin who the great man who said these two sentences was.

He is conscientious, dull and rarely talkative, but he can also act as an audience for Zhao Chuanxin's boasts.

"Ziliang, send this to Li Guangzong."

"Yes sir."

This is what Fan Ziliang says most.

Picked up the manuscript, turned around and ran away.

He can also ride a horse, which increases the efficiency of delivering messages.

Zhao Chuanxin, who had always been in charge of killing and not burying, made a suggestion and left Li Guangzong to worry about it.

Fan Ziliang left and he pulled out the diary.

The "I" in the diary have been traveling for several days.

finally……

[Biological remnants are good at conquering the world, but not good at governing it. 】

[All I saw along the way were ruins. The reconstruction of towns was basically organized by the people spontaneously. The aftermath of the war has not yet dissipated. 】

[The route I chose tried to avoid the remaining biological remnants, and I finally arrived at Sunset Town. 】

[In the beautiful Sunset Town in the past, the only ancient building that was relatively well preserved was the Cathedral of the Goddess of Glory. 】

[Taking advantage of the darkness, I sneaked into Sunset Town with my ghost armor. Many new buildings were built on top of the original ruins. I found that many humans have taken refuge in the biological remnants, and they have settled here again. 】

[This place is heavily guarded by biological remnants, perhaps because Sunset Town is their last line of defense in the Blood Wasteland in case of defeat. 】

[So, the Creation of War and the Styx Elves did no harm to ordinary people. I blended into the crowd, and they were not alert at all. 】

[I strolled into a newly built shop by the road and asked the owner about the situation. 】

[The shop owner said: The original inhabitants of Sunset Town no longer exist, or they were either killed or have fled. We all escaped later. Unexpectedly, the biological city-state accepted us. Brave, you should also join us. The power of biotech civilization has become unstoppable, and the direction of civilization's progress will surely be rewritten. 】

[I frowned, subconsciously I was on the side of the city-state. 】

[I asked the shopkeeper: Are there any goods from the East? 】

[The shop owner introduced enthusiastically: Yes, there was a batch of goods from the East recently...]

[A sudden thought occurred to me: If the other party scatters the goods, I won’t be able to recover them. You can't just rob each household, right? 】

[After some inquiring, I also spent some gold coins. The results showed that supplies were in short supply in Sunset Town, and this batch of goods was very popular, so the group of thieves blatantly sold bulk goods in Sunset Town, and no one investigated where they came from. 】

[I also learned that those thieves are now entrenched in the former Cathedral of the Goddess of Glory. The cathedral now has no clergy and has become a warehouse and inn. 】

[Farewell to the shop owner, I went to the cathedral of the Goddess of Glory. 】

[I rented a room here and settled down. I pretended to be casual and asked how to rent the warehouse, and successfully learned the location of the warehouse. 】

[I had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant set up in the cathedral, and the service was very attentive, so I gave a tip. 】

[After dinner, the lights in the cathedral gradually turned off, with only a few corridor lights still on. 】

[I am very familiar with the layout of the Cathedral of the Goddess of Glory because I participated in a treasure hunt festival game here and gained a lot of money. I fumbled for the location of the warehouse in the dark with ease. 】

[Because the warehouses are locked, there is only one guard here. Fortunately, the Cathedral of the Goddess of Radiance is very large, and I was able to find a dark place to hide. 】

[Walking is a very tiring thing. Just when I was about to fall asleep first, the guard finally left his post temporarily, maybe to go to the toilet, or maybe to do something else. 】

[Most of the warehouses are vacant, and only three are locked.

I took the opportunity to slip in. 】

[I used the elf carving knife to destroy the lock. After entering, I found that the first room was not what I was looking for, and neither was the second room. Finally, in the third room, based on the characteristics the merchant told me, I found his goods. However, only two-thirds of the goods are left at this time! 】

[I loaded all the goods into the secret space, almost filling the space. 】

[Originally, I wanted to leave directly, but suddenly I thought of the treasure room not far away. Are the various treasures there still there?

I knew there was something in there, a real treasure that even weirdos would covet. 】

[When I opened the door to the treasure room, most of the treasures here were gone. I looked at the remaining space in the secret space, and it was only enough for me to install a small treasure trap. 】

[Just as I was thinking about which one to choose, footsteps sounded behind me. The guard shouted: Who are you? What do you want to do? 】

[He was about to take out his flintlock gun, but I took it out before him and shot him in the hand, breaking his fingers. 】

[I said to him: I'm sorry, you're just guarding the warehouse, you don't have to fight me. 】

Zhao Chuanxin smiled when he saw it.

Very polite.

[The gunfire must have alerted others, so I could only randomly install a treasure mechanism that could be installed, and immediately ran away. 】

[I made such a big noise in Sunset Town that the defenders were alerted. 】

[Fortunately, I was the only one, hiding here and there to escape capture. 】

[When I walked out of Sunset Town, I blew the eagle bone whistle. My mount, War Creation, heard the whistle and ran towards me in a hurry, carrying me far away. 】

[Behind me, ten war creations dragged a mini chariot, with the Styx elves on top chasing after me. 】

[I shot four ball-shaped lightnings and four arrow-shaped lightnings in succession, only knocking down five war creations. 】

[The energy of Thor's hammer device was exhausted, and I could only take out my sniper rifle and shoot in the back. 】

When Zhao Chuanxin was looking for a craftsman in the United States to customize a sniper rifle, he also gave one to his diary.

[Large-caliber sniper rifles still cannot penetrate the leather armor of war wounds, but they can blow out their eyes. 】

[But I can only take the risk of letting them get close so that I can be sure to hit the eyeball. 】

[So, after taking care of a war wound, I can only continue to run away. 】

[At daybreak, my War Creation and the pursuers behind me were tired. Fortunately, I was lucky, but there was a secret space where I could feed my mount, while the pursuers behind me could only starve. 】

[While my mount and I were feasting, a group of Styx elves took the opportunity to catch up. 】

[I took out the Madsen light machine gun and fired at these short but ferocious creatures! 】

Whenever Zhao Chuanxin has useful weapons, he will also send a copy to the diary. Both he and the "me" in the diary live with their heads in their belts, and these powerful weapons can always come in handy.

[After firing two rounds of bullets, these ferocious little things that were helpless to the human army were all dead! 】

[War Creation Running consumes a lot of energy, and the pursuers behind cannot be replenished, so the distance between us is getting farther and farther. After my mount and I exhausted our physical strength to the limit, we finally escaped their pursuit. 】
