The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Not to mention the pedestrians and business travelers, even the hawkers on the roadside and the shop assistants and shopkeepers were all attracted by Zhao Chuanxin's cries.

Zhao Chuanxin was right, those who could come to Rune City were rich people.

Not short of money.

Someone immediately said: "Fifty gold coins a piece? I want both. But I still have a lot of windows in my house, so I'm afraid two gold coins won't be enough."

Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes: "Glass is rare and is a symbol of wealth. This is primary glass, and there are also intermediate and high-grade glass. The thickness of the glass will increase with each higher level. If you just want primary glass, then I will also Yes. In addition, the sizes are different and the values ​​are different..."

After saying that, he immediately exited the state and closed the "Old God Codex" to make glass.

He grinned almost to the back of his ears, worked tirelessly with his mud trowel gloves, and made glass out of all the remaining sand in one go.

Open the holy light channel and enter the state.

Brother and sister, elf scouts and craftsmen all helped, and Zhao Chuanxin sold out all the glass in a matter of seconds.

The deflated money bag immediately bulged.

I had to sell it for 1,800 gold coins and there was still a small change.

This is a great deal with huge profits, you really came to the right place.

At this moment, a puppet soldier came and showed a piece of paper to a person who bought glass.

The man's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, but he handed over the glass in resignation.

Zhao Chuanxin took a look and found that everyone had ugly faces, even those whose glass had not been taken away were the same.

But they didn't dare to say a strange thing. Many people looked up at the standing True Sight Crystal, and they seemed to be angry but afraid to say anything.

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes - it was interesting.

This city is a symbol of wealth, and its generosity and splendor attract and curse every wealthy person in the desert.

However……

And Zhao Chuanxin felt that the Desert Emperor sent puppet soldiers to requisition the man's glass. If he was interested, he might come to him again.

He looked at the puppet soldier carefully. Its outer shell had a plastic texture and was white. There were signs of wear on the joints, but there were no scratches elsewhere. It was obviously a material that was stronger and more wear-resistant than ordinary plastic. With heads and limbs, the puppet soldiers are only slightly stiffer than normal human movements, but more flexible than any robot Zhao Chuanxin has ever seen.

Its face only has eyes, no ears, mouth, or nose, which makes it look a bit weird.

It wears a knife. The knife is hidden in a sheath and cannot be seen as good or bad.

how did you do that?

Does it have autonomous consciousness?

Zhao Chuanxin is really unimaginable.

There are also wealthy people who have not bought glass and are wondering: "When will the next batch of glass be shipped?"

Zhao Chuanxin came back to his senses and calculated the time: "Just for the next few days, I will stay in that hotel. If you need anything, you can contact me."

He first went to the hotel to book a room for everyone to stay in, then went out of the city alone and teleported a pile of sand before exiting the state.

Zhao Chuanxin not only made glass, but also made some glass ornaments, tableware...

Time is tight now, and there is no time to bother with these. In the future, he will also build glass beds, glass bathtubs, and glass houses...

If you don't make a fortune, it would be a shame for Rune City, a place where wealth is concentrated.

[I returned to the hotel, and the craftsman said: I just used the money you gave me to buy a Rune City strategy booklet printed on sea paper. The above introduces in detail the shops, food and important sightseeing places in the city. 】

[I took the brochure and looked at it, and I was surprised to find that the words and paintings on the brochure were colorful. 】

[I asked the craftsman: Why is it colored? Isn’t it true that paper cannot be colored except for ink sacs? 】

[The craftsman said: I asked the bookstore owner and he said that special flowers cultivated in Rune City can extract colors. 】

This reminded Zhao Chuanxin of the Qiang Tie that later defrauded many Chinese merchants and common people.

Some ideas suddenly came to him.

If Qiang Tie is destined to become waste paper, why not let it slowly become waste paper at this time and minimize its harm?

As long as he defeats the reinforcements of a division supported by Tsarist Russia, his power will reach its peak. The status of Lubin Mansion will be difficult to shake in the Hailar area. Strike while the iron is hot and you can do some good things.

For a moment, Zhao Chuanxin thought of various possibilities.

For example, how should Tsarist Russia respond when it becomes angry and assembles a large army to mediate with him?

In fact, he already has the answer.

Perhaps what Tsarist Russia feared most was not the loss of troops, but the destruction of their lifeblood.

Zhao Chuanxin is the best at this.

So how will the Qing court react?

Afraid, even more afraid of him.

But once Cixi dies, all of them will fall into the whirlpool of struggle, and they may not be able to take care of this corner.

Zhao Chuanxin chuckled, Cixi really deserves to die, he will assist her to die after the battle is over.

[I saw in the brochure that the author said: There are two most mysterious places in Rune City: one is the imperial palace, because in the past fifty years, few people except puppet soldiers have been given the honor to go in and see the emperor; the other is the cave where stolen goods are sold. , this place is as powerful as the desert emperor and there is nothing he can do about it...]

[I pointed to the den where stolen goods were sold and asked the craftsman: Where is this? 】

[The craftsman shook his head: Today we are physically and mentally exhausted. Let’s go take a look together tomorrow. 】

Zhao Chuanxin sent ten gold coins.

This is the gold coin circulating in the cursed desert.

Zhao Chuanxin was very confused. The technology tree in the world of "Old God Code" was obviously a bit crooked compared to the earth.

The coins produced by the mint of the Qing court were considered good at this time, but they were crooked compared to the currency circulating in the cursed desert.

There is a big eye on the front of the gold coin, as if to remind the people who cursed the desert - I, the Emperor of the Desert, am always watching you!

There is a circle in the middle of the back, and inside the circle is an aerial view of Rune City. It is so detailed that you can’t even imagine how it was rolled. The outer circle contains mini figures of animals and plants including giant beetles.

Gold is soft and difficult to cast. This should be an alloy, but the gold content should be quite high.

There were goldsmiths in Manchuria, and Zhao Chuanxin was going to take the time to find someone to measure them.

…

Today, Batang'a, Bulong'a, Che and Zha went north into the wasteland with the cavalry regiment, while Shengfu and Bodigrel guarded their homes on the east and west.

Because Putilov's life and death were unknown, there were still many defeated troops in the territory.

One person and two horses, the rumble drowned out the noise of the town of thousands of people.

Once these men were on horseback, they became many dignified and at ease men, and were criticized by the people of Lubin Mansion.

They whispered about whether the battle going north was like a mantis trying to defeat a chariot or whether it was overwhelming.

The majority hold the former view.

Their view is:

"The prefect was able to defeat 6,000 men because the 6,000 men were divided at two ends and there were no artillery. The eight thousand Russian soldiers going south were different. They were veterans drawn from garrisons in various places. The train from Vladivostok was transported to the broken track. Those elites who survived the Russo-Japanese War will let the prefect see the situation clearly - Tsarist Russia is far stronger than he imagined."

The Han people were silent, the Mongolian people were confused, and the Russians were overjoyed.

…

Putilov was outside a salt pond on the north coast of Hailar, his body hunched like a frozen corpse. The chirping of morning birds failed to wake him up, and the first ray of sunshine in the morning failed to open his eyelids.

He woke up because a wild boar was licking salt at the edge of the pond, and its grunting awakened his human survival instinct.

He immediately took out the Nagant Wheel beside his waist, raised his head and looked at it cautiously. The wild boar was so focused on licking the white marks on the edge of the pool that he ignored him.

The Hailar River is the transition zone between primeval forest and grassland. The only natural enemy of these wild boars that come down the mountain is humans. The grassland herders will not easily provoke them at the risk of their lives. The Sauron people at the other end of the forest do the hunting.

Therefore, wild boars grow fat and strong.

Putilov looked at the wild boar and thought of the fat-headed and big-eared nobles in Tsarist Russia who had been passed down for generations, and he was just a rising star who rose to prominence through military exploits.

Putilov made the sign of the cross on his chest and murmured to himself: "Great Holy Father, I pray to you to help me at any time and in any situation, and to teach me to escape from all the evil and temptations of the devil in the world, and also to Save me and lead me into your everlasting kingdom, for you are my Lord and the fountain of all good, and save me from falling like those fattened boars... Amen.”

After saying the prayer, his body regained strength and he was very sure that the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit had not abandoned him, because he was still alive at this time and his heart was stronger.

He carefully held the Nagant wheel tightly and walked around the wild boar. The huge wild boar looked back, but did not make trouble for him.

This seemed to be some kind of hint, which gave him more courage.

But he doesn't know that in places with natural salt, animals always live in harmony, because no one can live without it.

After walking for a long time, he encountered more than a dozen defeated Russian soldiers.

One of the Russian soldiers was still riding a horse. It was an ownerless mount left behind by the Cossack knight after he died on the battlefield, because the knight at this time seemed to have poor riding skills.

Putilov was overjoyed and said with a tigerish face: "Dismount, I have requisitioned, I want to go back to Hyrule to collect the remaining soldiers."

Normally, he would never explain it because it would make him appear guilty, but at this moment he was really guilty.

How can a defeated general show courage?

As a result, the soldier on horseback flashed his eyes and did not move immediately.

Putilov's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. After all, he was also the commander-in-chief of an army and had a strong ability to adapt to situations.

He immediately raised his gun and shot at the horseback soldiers.

boom.

At close range, a shot hit the chest, and the soldier fell from his horse.

Putilov walked over with a calm face, lowered his head and looked down at him: "How dare you disobey military orders? Normally I will whip you with a whip, but disobeying orders in wartime is a death penalty."

He didn't look at the others when he said this. Firstly, he didn't want to see their eyes on both ends, and secondly, he was worried that he would offend them.

Russians don't have a good temper.

He first got on the horse, then pointed in the direction of Hyrule and said: "You guys, walk back slowly. I'll go first. I'll have someone come to pick you up when you get back."

After saying that, he rode away.

After walking two miles, Putilov wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

In history, it is not uncommon for generals to be killed by their own troops.

He felt lucky that he was not that tragic figure.

When he arrived to the southwest of Chenba Erhu, he saw a man looking after the sheep and sitting on the ground eating mutton chops.

Putilov went over and said, "Give me the meat in your hand."

The man could not understand him.

Putilov thought for a few seconds and asked in blunt Chinese: "Who are you?"

The man on the ground wiped the oil on his hands on his robe: "My name is Yao Xingyuan."

Yao Xingyuan, like all farmers, has a restless temper.

The Elu-Te tribe and the So-Lun tribe treated him very politely. Yao Xingyuan saw that they were busy looking after the Russian prisoners and volunteered to help herd the sheep.

Putilov really couldn't speak any other Chinese, so he pointed forcefully at the few mutton chops left in Yao Xingyuan's hand, and stretched out his hand in a begging gesture.

In the past, Yao Xingyuan would give everything regardless of whether he was rich or poor. His whole family was kind-hearted.

But since being deceived by Li Ziqiang, he has not been so generous. He shook his head: "Why should I give it to you?"

At this time, Putilov was in a very embarrassed state, his military uniform was in tatters, so dirty that the original color could not be seen, and his epaulettes and other items had fallen off.

The command knife, gloves and rifle are naturally gone.

Yao Xingyuan could tell that he was Russian, but he couldn't tell that he was a Russian army officer.

Putilov was filled with anger. When would even an idiot dare to reject him?

The anger he had been holding back along the way had nowhere to release, so he suddenly drew his gun and shot at Yao Xingyuan.

boom!

Yao Xingyuan was shot in the arm. He groaned and rolled on the ground holding his arms. He had never suffered such pain.

Putilov dismounted, picked up the mutton chops and stuffed them into his mouth to chew.

After gnawing all the mutton chops and regaining some strength, he got on his horse, glared at Yao Xingyuan and ran away.

Maybe they heard the gunfire, and Chen Ba Erhu rushed over. The police found that there was no one else but Yao Xingyuan who was in pain and sweating on the ground, so they took Yao Xingyuan back for treatment, leaving someone to look after the sheep.

Chenba-Erhu's shaman took the bullet for Yao Xingyuan, shook his head and sighed: "The bone is broken. I don't know what kind of gun shot it. The bullet looks very weird. I'm afraid it will cause a disability..."

Nagant wheel is very powerful.

Why don't we get rid of shamans when people believe in Buddhism?

Because witches and doctors don’t differentiate, serious illnesses and minor affections need to be treated by witches.

Yao Xingyuan became anxious after hearing this: "Disabled? Then how can I work in the fields? Do I still have to farm in the land?"

How will farmers survive if they are disabled? You can't rely on your wife and old parents to work in the fields to support him, right?

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, and just cursed: "Damn Russians, they all deserve to be killed..."

Yao Xingyuan was extremely depressed. This time he came to Hailar and had many troubles.

However, because Russia's defeated troops were everywhere and scenes of innocent people being injured were repeated, it was not just Yao Xingyuan himself who hurt Chi Yu.

…

Zhou Shumo, governor of Heilongjiang Province, was communicating with Xu Shichang.

Zhou Shumo said: "Your Majesty Governor, Rudanov and Horvat came to the door. They accused Zhao Chuanxin of crossing the border and invading, and threatened me with a large-scale invasion. What should I do?"

Xu Shichang said: "It seems that Zhao Tangong really made them anxious, but it is impossible for them to invade on a large scale. They only have advance troops in China. The railway line for subsequent reinforcements has been cut off by Zhao Tangong, and the Russian troops in Chita The soldiers collected are barely enough to fight Zhao Tangong. You don't need to panic, just tell them that you can't influence Zhao Tangong's will, and make it clear that the Hailar area is the place where the imperial court exiled Zhao Tangong, and everything has nothing to do with us. "

Zhou Shumo was worried: "But what if things get really big?"

Xu Shichang was thinking, not about countermeasures, but about how to persuade Zhou Shumo to stop worrying.

After more than ten seconds, just when Zhou Shumo thought that the damn phone line was busy, Xu Shichang said: "Among the great powers, some think that Zhao Tangong is nothing to worry about, while others think that he is terrible. Why do you think he is? "

Zhou Shumo shook his head, pinched the microphone and said, "I don't know."

My heart says it's imminent, why do you care?

Xu Shichang said: "Those who think that Zhao Tangong is nothing to worry about is because he always acts alone. How many nails can one person make if his body is covered with iron? But those who think that Zhao Tangong is scary is because Zhao Tangong can always cause them other than casualties." Destruction, such as scuttling battleships, or destroying railway tracks and telegraph lines. Times have changed, and the army and horses have to go ahead without using food and grass. Without railways, telegraphs, and battleships, even if they are as advanced as the great powers, it will be difficult to move forward. Look, this scene is actually Zhao The charcoal workers have won most of the battle, and Tsarist Russia will inevitably compromise."

Zhou Shumo felt that Xu Shichang was too optimistic.

How could that huge country give up its face and interests just because of railways and telegraph lines? In the past, when there were no railways or telegraph lines, was it possible that we no longer had to march and fight?

He finally pleaded: "Your Majesty the Governor, this matter needs to be reported to the court."

Don't end up causing a big mess and putting all the blame on him, he can't afford it.

Xu Shichang did not embarrass him: "Okay, I will report it to the court right now."

I sent a telegram to the imperial court, and the imperial court's reply was: Since it has become autonomous, it has nothing to do with the imperial court and is neutral outside the country.

It was as if the war between Japan and Russia outside the customs was repeated, and the Qing government wanted to stay out of it.

…

When they left the city, Zhao Chuanxin separated from the team.

He first went to cut off the middle section of the Ussuri Railway to prevent Tsarist Russia from increasing its troops one after another.

Afterwards, we walked westwards across the mountains, speeding along an ancient post road that we could barely recognize.

When the Treaty of Nerchinsk was signed, some people said that this was not a loss of territory, but that it only clarified the boundaries and cut off the possibility of the Qing court's northward expansion.

Some people say that it is a loss of land because 3 million square kilometers of land including Lake Baikal have been occupied.

In Zhao Chuanxin's view, this was considered a loss of ground.

The population of Tsarist Russia cannot manage so much land, at least it is difficult to fully develop it now.

Tsarist Russia can occupy it, so why can't he?

It's fun to watch it.

But this certainly cannot be achieved overnight, it must be eroded slowly.

This encroachment is divided into several steps. At present, the Hailar area is fully recaptured, and then the Abagai Tuzhou and the land along the right bank of the Ergun River are swallowed up.

There was a war later in which Tsarist Russia mobilized 12 million troops. Because its generals were incompetent and incompetent, more than 5 million troops were killed or injured. That was a second chance.

When Tsarist Russia was dying, another group of people took advantage of the situation. When Tsarist Russia was in civil strife, it was the third opportunity... Haha, there was a fourth opportunity, but that opportunity was not enough for outsiders. Zhao Chuanxin felt that he knew it in his heart. .

Four chances, if he still can't take back Lake Baikal, then it will be in vain.

Thinking about these things along the way will not make you feel bored.

Finally the artillery troops in the rear were discovered.

The artillery and baggage battalions moved very slowly, and it took only a thousand men to show up together.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly rushed into the crowd from the side of the mountain.

Tata Tata...

If something happens, please send me some bullets first.

Imitate Madsen's face and open it wide.

When the opponent was caught off guard, the artillery team and the baggage team were beaten to death.

"Enemy attack..."

Any shouting is of no avail. This time Zhao Chuanxin did not hide his secrets. He emptied the imitation Madsen magazine and seamlessly switched to the God of War M1907, walking around and shooting on the Misty Traveler.

His tactics, let alone this time, were still confusing even during World War I and World War II.

Chug tug tug…

Russian soldiers fell in droves.

Zhao Chuanxin fired while shouting: "Silari, Aluzhi, Neubi Yaomu..."

They are all loose Russian that I learned from a translator, which probably means disarming and not killing.

Kill all the way and shout all the way.

There is no magazine changer, so after using one, I just copy another one, from the imitation Madsen to several Ares M1907s, and then to the Goldberg M1907... His arms are really numb.

Bang, bang, bang...

The scene was chaotic for a while.

The Russian soldiers fought back, but often accidentally injured their own people.

Zhao passed the salary too fast.

After clearing the memory, he took out the elf carving knife that had not been used for a long time. It was more useful than a gun in a dense crowd.

Hee hee hee…

Really, when chopping melons and vegetables, they will break if they are touched, and if they touch two pieces, it will lead to bloodshed, stomach rupture, and intestinal bleeding...

A river of blood flowed back and forth...

beat?

Can't hit.

run?

Can't run.

All we can do is raise the white flag and surrender.

"Disarm, kneel down, disarm, kneel down..."

The vocal organ keeps repeating these phrases in loose Russian.

The fate of the rebels was disastrous. An officer who wanted to launch a sneak attack was cut into three pieces by Zhao Chuanxin with a sword.

Yes, one sword in three sections, no one knows how to do it.

"It's so spicy." Zhao Chuanxin was a little angry, because the officers were definitely the ones who resisted the most fiercely: "Then let's all die."

He rushed into the crowd, most of which were already kneeling in surrender. When he saw the Russian officer, he brandished the Elf Knife.

The Russian soldiers were very scared at first, but soon they found out that Zhao Chuanxin was specifically looking for officers to kill.

The Russian military officers had been in trouble for eight lifetimes. Zhao Chuanxin identified the officers by their uniforms, caps and epaulettes, and he was able to spot them accurately.

An officer was so frightened that he peed and shouted: "Everyone come up together..."

Those who responded were all officers.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the Goldberg M1907 and replaced it with the magazine.

Bang bang bang, bang bang bang...

While walking in a zigzag, he shot three times, tilting his body from time to time to dodge the bullets.

The Russian soldiers and officers could clearly see that the rifle in Zhao Chuanxin's hand was too sharp. They had never seen this kind of burst shooting method.

After killing all the officers who dared to stand up, Zhao Chuanxin absorbed the heat from the barrel, replaced the magazine and put the gun in storage: "Is there anyone else who wants to resist? If so, stand up quickly and don't waste time."
