Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

The visitor is Niu Zihou's son, Niu Hanzhang.

Niu Hanzhang was also stunned when he saw Zhao Chuanxin.

"This, this, Uncle Zhao...?"

In the past, he couldn't scream, but now that he thought about it, calling him uncle might not be a disadvantage.

Zhao Chuanxin lit up a cigarette: "Oh, nephew, you want to buy a shop, then you buy it first, and we will talk about it later."

If he showed any intention of buying it, the shopkeeper would probably raise the price.

Niu Hanzhang was much smarter than Zhao Chuanxin the last time they met. He immediately restrained his respectful expression, nodded solemnly, and said to the shopkeeper: "Please come in and let's talk in detail."

After saying that, he left Zhao Chuanxin behind and entered the house first.

Shengfu didn't understand what was going on and asked, "Master Magistrate, we..."

"Let's go to the Bingbei Road Yamen and meet Huang Shifu."

Huang Shifu is not a pure evil person, he is just stubborn and has no brains. When he has a preconceived impression, he will keep his head down and act stubbornly according to the plan.

He believed that Zhao Chuanxin was harmful, and Zhao Chuanxin was harmful, so he slandered Zhao Chuanxin behind his back, which was not considered a lack of morality, but at most it was an unscrupulous way to serve the people of Li and serve the imperial court.

Later, he found out that Zhao Chuanxin was really not easy to mess with. He did not dare to slander him anymore, but he still opposed Zhao Chuanxin in terms of stance and worked hard to support him at the Hulun Army Preparation Road.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin came to visit in person.

"Prefect Zhao?" Huang Shifu smiled dryly.

"Zodiac, hello." Zhao Chuanxin looked at him with a calm expression.

"What do you want from Governor Zhao?" Huang Shifu asked with a smile on his face.

"I'm here to inform you that the Hulun Army Preparation Road can hand over the two battalions of men and horses in your hands. From now on, the taxation and negotiation of Hulun City and the counties under its jurisdiction, as well as the negotiations with the various ministries of the Mongolian Banner, will be handled by Lubin Prefecture. Unified control." Zhao Chuanxin sat on the table, lit a cigarette and said quietly.

Huang Shifu's body trembled: "You, you, you are rebelling..."

Behind Zhao Chuanxin, Shengfu's eyes narrowed: "Master Huang, don't slander anyone!"

If Huang Shifu hands over these powers, then Hulun Military Preparation Road will have no meaning.

This is a delicate time. Cixi is dead, Guangxu is dead, and Puyi has not yet ascended the throne.

It was just a matter of making small fuss, and no one cared about Zhao Chuanxin.

When Aixinjueluo Zaifeng heard this, he must have just swallowed his anger and admitted defeat.

Huang Shifu probably figured out Zhao Chuanxin's sinister intentions and sighed: "Since Governor Zhao is eager to go against the grain, there is no need for me to stay here. Soon..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhao Chuanxin say: "Don't leave in a hurry. You officials are really good at adapting to the wind. As soon as you encounter some setbacks, you will run away immediately. You will eat all day long without any intention and blame others." , If you don’t think about progress, you are nothing.”

"..." Huang Shifu gritted his teeth and asked, "Then if I don't leave, what else can I do?"

Drinking tea at the government office every day?

Zhao Chuanxin took out a map, placed it on the table, and circled it with his fingers: "From now on, these places will be under the jurisdiction of Lubin Prefecture. But don't forget, Lubin Prefecture is Chinese soil and is not divided. Armed preparations The province surrendered its original military power, but I allowed Bingbei Road to establish a forest police station, equipped with guns and uniforms; I handed over the negotiation and tax authorization, but the Lubin government gave Bingbei Road the power to establish a land inspection department..."

The circle he drew at random with his finger was very large, encompassing thousands of square kilometers of land that Zhao Chuanxin had recovered. Going south, he had already passed Lake Bell, and included some land from the Chechen Khan Tribe and the Xilin-Gol League. , heading east to Zha-Lantun, naturally also includes the Da-Xing-an Mountains Forest Area.

The power that Zhao Chuanxin took away was completely taken away.

The power that Zhao Chuanxin was given again was smaller and narrower in name, but judging from Zhao Chuanxin's current territory, it was definitely not the case.

Huang Shifu pondered for a full five minutes, then he hesitated and said: "Prefect Zhao, do you think this is still the land of China?"

"Of course." Zhao Chuanxin flicked the ashes and said, "No one can think of dividing it."

Huang Shifu frowned slightly.

……

Beijing.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Liang Dunyan was talking to Ijuin Hikoyoshi, the Japanese Minister to China, who had a broken arm.

Ijuin Hikoyoshi's broken arm was naturally the work of Zhao Chuanxin.

Yijuin Yanji said: "Master Liang, the border affairs of the Tumen River have been unresolved for a long time. Bandits are rampant in the area and the people are miserable. The Qing Dynasty has not yet established a new monarch and the people's hearts are unstable. In order to protect the safety of the Korean people, we have decided to send additional troops. .”

Liang Dunyan first thought of Xu Shichang, then Wu Luzhen, and then Liu Shanzi.

But in the end, what emerged in his mind was Zhao Chuanxin's unruly figure.

Liang Dunyan is not a tough person.

But when he thought of Zhao Chuanxin, he somehow felt confident: "Are you sure those are bandits? How miserable are the people? The increase in troops you mentioned is a threat to the court, or is it someone else? "

Ijuin Hikokichi was hanging with one hand, his face was a little pale and he looked very weak.

He thought of the culprit who caused him to be permanently disabled, and he couldn't help but frown: "Master Liang, our Japanese Empire has never been afraid of anyone or any country. In the past, Western countries came to knock on the door of the country and made us tremble, but we were not more than fifty In the year, the great Tsarist Russia has to bow down in front of us. This is true for a country, let alone an individual. The Qing Dynasty, does it need to rely on someone to have the confidence to act now? "

Liang Dunyan lit a cigarette and was noncommittal.

He blew out white smoke and said: "There is evidence from all sides. The Tumen River is the national boundary and cannot be questioned. There is really nothing to say. If your country forcibly increases its troops, it will be an invasion."

Ijuin Hikokichi straightened his back: "In order for the border residents of China and South Korea to enjoy eternal happiness, we have no choice but to sign the terms."

"Oh?" Liang Dunyan was slightly surprised.

In the past, they wanted to demarcate the border and sign terms, but Japan did not agree. How could they agree to it now?

He immediately remembered that Xu Shichang had told him that Liu Shanzi was getting stronger and stronger, and the more he fought with his backing army, the more courageous he became. Moreover, they seemed to have deployed no data points, secret weapons and ammunition depots, and war warehouses near Yanji a few years in advance...

These people were really inexhaustible and could not be dispersed. Even though they were running out of ammunition and food, they turned around and picked up new guys to continue fighting, which made the Japanese military police and the Korean police miserable.

Sign up?

Liang Dunyan can foresee that the territory may be preserved, but Japan will definitely expand its interests in China.

The court should compromise, but will Zhao Chuanxin agree? Will the backwater army agree?

……

At the end of October of the lunar calendar, there is light snow.

Now Manzhouli has officially been renamed Lubinfu.

The original Lubin Prefecture was the office of the Bureau of Government and Commodity, a permanent border trading post, and the residential area for Lubin Prefecture officials.

Here, Zhao Chuanxian's new residence is ready for move-in.

The house was finally finalized, and Zhao Chuanxin no longer had the habitual fancy decorations. He became more and more integrated into this era, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation were somewhat tainted with the rustic of the times.

The sunlight, which is quite dazzling in winter but can only warm the eyelids, shines through the lattice shutters and shines on the shell photo frame on the wooden cabinet countertop. The photo embedded in it is a photo of Rebecca Levi and Yao Bing.
