The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhang Rong never imagined that Zhao Chuanxin, the only one here, could frighten everyone present!

Wang Zhang had a wry smile on his face after hearing Zhang Rong's words.

What is this?

Wang Zhang had participated in the Boxer Rebellion and had some chivalrous spirit in his heart.

After hearing about Zhang Rong's assassination of the five ministers, and Zhang Gui also taking care of it, he even admired his power as a person and money, so he always took good care of Zhang Rong.

But Zhao Chuanxin was very angry when he heard this.

What are you causing trouble?

He is setting up his character here. All the Tianjin Guards’ military and policemen know that he is such a ruthless person. They have to show respect to the prison guards even if they don’t see him. Don’t they even dare to let out a fart?

The more arrogant Zhao Chuanxin becomes, the more afraid they become.

If you show timidity or hesitation at this time, most of this fear will be discounted.

People are good at forgetting. Maybe if you come back a year later, they will still ignore you.

So he said in disgust: "Stop talking and go to the other side."

Zhang Rong: "..."

Wang Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Zhao, this is very difficult for me to handle."

"Warden, if you are so difficult to handle, it will be difficult for Zhao to handle it as well."

As he spoke, a Madsen machine gun suddenly appeared in his hand.

Without saying a word, he pulled the trigger, and the "click" sound made people's scalp numb.

Wang Zhang's expression suddenly changed. This man fell out of favor at any time.

What kind of gun is this? Why does that magazine sticking out in the air look so scary?

As expected, he was as moody as the rumors said.

"It's easy to talk, don't be impulsive, Captain Zhao is a hero of a generation, don't care about me and other little people..."

Zhang Rong was stunned, what do you mean?

You guys didn't even raise their guns and just surrendered?

You, Wang Zhang, were also a well-known figure in Tianjin Guards back then, so are you giving up?

Zhang Rong looked at all this in disbelief, it was like a dream.

Zhao Chuanxin's nostrils turned upward: "In that case, why don't you get out of the way?"

Wang Zhang looked around and said to his subordinates: "Everyone has seen it today. It was Mr. Zhao who coerced us, not that we failed to perform our duties. If anyone wants to try Mr. Zhao's methods, you can apply now. Otherwise, we will ask you later. Bear witness to each other.”

"Yes, Boss, he is under duress. We dare not take action."

"Even the Beiyang soldiers can't do it. We should give way."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

If you are as smart as you, being a prison guard would be a waste of your talents.

He took Zhang Rong and walked out, pulling Zhang Rong directly behind him and telling him to follow every step and not go astray.

Zhang Rong asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhao, why is this?"

Zhao Chuanxin coughed dryly and lowered his voice: "I want to maintain the lonely demeanor of a master and never look back. But if they shoot me in the back, you can be my backer."

The head can be broken, the blood can flow, but the character that was finally erected cannot collapse.

Zhang Rong opened his mouth wide and could not speak for a long time.

Feelings: I finally escaped, but I just took a bullet for you?

As if he was worried that Zhang Rong would be disobedient, Zhao Chuanxin added, "Anyway, you have already earned your reward from a life sentence to being released after serving your sentence."

Zhang Rong was really comforted...

Fortunately, when the two arrived at the gate of the model prison, Wang Zhang and others did not have the courage to shoot in the back.

Zhao Chuanxin breathed a sigh of relief and happily took the reins from the obedient doorman.

The gatekeeper bent down and said, "Mr. Zhao, please walk slowly."

Zhao Chuanxin got on his horse and said to Zhang Rong, "What are you doing standing still? Get on your horse and leave."

"Oh, alright."

After leaving the model prison, Zhao Chuanxin completely relaxed.

Zhang Rong scratched his heart and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhao, what on earth is going on?"

Zhao Chuanxin briefly talked about everything that happened these days.

Zhang Rong was greatly shocked when he heard Zhao Chuanxin's experience of fighting against a battalion of soldiers.

He thought that the full deployment of the Lugang Town Insurance Team would have the effect of making Wang Zhang and others look like cats, but in the end, only Zhao Chuanxin was left.

He was crestfallen: "Hey, compared to Mr. Zhao, Yin Hua is really as humble as a grasshopper on the roadside."

Yinhua is Zhang Rong's character.

"Hey, you have to be more confident in the future." Zhao Chuanxin comforted him. “Be confident and remove the ‘like’.”

"..."

Even if he got used to it, Zhao Chuanxin could still break through his defense every time he spoke.

The angle is tricky and all-pervasive.

He smiled bitterly: "I have liked to dance with guns and sticks since I was a child. My idol is Shi Jin, the nine-patterned dragon in Heroes of the Water Margin. Although my family has thousands of acres of fertile land and a lot of wealth, I am not vain and hate to live in contentment. I once funded the Loyal Rebel Army outside the Pass. But the loyal army dispersed. I wanted to assassinate the Qing court and went abroad to inspect five ministers. The five ministers were not dead, but my best friend died on the spot. I..."

His voice was choked and he couldn't control himself.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at his unshaven look.

I sighed inwardly.

In fact, he admires these tough-minded people. In this era, he can do without himself, but he cannot do without them.

But when the words came to his lips, he said: "Look at you, show off your heroic deeds, right? Zhao fights against the great powers every day. He is polite and military, knows people well, is loyal, and is invincible. But is Zhao proud? ?”

"..." For some reason, the sense of decadence in Zhang Rong's heart was immediately dispelled.

This guy must be poisonous.

On horseback, he handed over to Zhao Chuanxin: "Today, I would like to thank Mr. Zhao for saving my life. I will never forget it. In the future..."

Zhao Chuanxin was not willing to listen to the empty talk that there would be generous rewards in the future.

He interrupted and said, "Yes, there is a long way to go, and there are plenty of opportunities to repay me like a cow or a horse. Where are you going to go next?"

Zhang Rong was so choked that he almost rolled his eyes. He straightened his back and regained his spirit: "Next, I want to study in Japan and learn Japan's advanced military knowledge!"

This matches the original trajectory.

I am afraid that I will still meet the people I should meet. What needs to be done will not stop.

Zhao Chuanxin was convinced.

If you don't seek death, you won't die. Since the other party is full of "death will", I can only nod: "I wish you success."

Zhang Rong asked again: "Mr. Zhao, where should we go next?"

"Haha." Zhao Chuanxin said proudly: "Zhao warmed up the wine to save Zhang Rong today. In such a fast time, I feel that the old man Principal Liang's wine is not cold yet. What you said reminded me that we need to speed up. Speed.”

With that said, Zhao Chuanxin took the lead and galloped down the road.

Liang Dunyan's wine is not rice wine and does not need to be warmed.

The principal's office is decorated in a Gothic style, a bit dark.

On the European-style desk, there is a bottle of whiskey.

The old man waited and waited, and finally there was a knock on the door.

He stood up and arranged his clothes: "Please come in."

Seeing that it was Zhao Chuanxin who opened the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this person didn't run away.

He had to entertain before he could run away. Liang Dunyan quickly got the cup and poured wine into it.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at Liang Dunyan and said to Zhang Rong: "This is Principal Liang. Principal Liang, this is Zhang Rong."

Liang Dunyan moved the wine glass over and said, "I am very happy to see Mr. Zhang again."

Anyway, it’s not him who is assassinating him, so he has no hatred or grudges, just do as you like.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the wine glass and said, "Zhang Rong, drink for me."

Liang Dunyan: "..."

You asked me to prepare the wine, but I didn’t drink it myself.

"Mr. Zhao, look at this money..."

Zhao Chuanxin seemed to have remembered something and hurriedly asked: "Principal Liang, where are the mud trowel and cement?"

Liang Dunyan was confused: "What do you want the trowel and cement for?"

Zhao Chuanxin said matter-of-factly: "I'll wipe the wall for you. Who am I, Zhao Chuanxin? One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. If it causes damage, of course I will repair it for you personally."

"..."

What I want is money, who wants you to clean the wall yourself?

He took a deep breath and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Zhao, if you just want to wipe the wall, you just need to find some students."

Zhao Chuanxin sighed, it seemed he couldn't escape.

Simply, he came to the table and gestured with his hands, and a small wooden box appeared out of thin air on the table.

This move stunned Liang Dunyan and Zhang Rong.

Is this a spell?

Zhao Chuanxin opened the box and found that it was full of silver coins.

Liang Dunyan's eyes lit up, he breathed heavily, and stepped forward quickly: "Are these all donated to Beiyang University?"

"You think more beautiful than me." Zhao Chuanxin sneered, and immediately took out a handful of money. "Here, this is for you."

Zhao Chuanxin has big hands, this one is estimated to be worth a hundred or ten silver coins.

Liang Dunyan was immediately disappointed: "I've heard that Mr. Zhao is very wealthy, so you can just give me this much at one time?"

Mentally estimating the mason's salary level and the size of the project, Zhao Chuanxian took out a few more coins in succession: "It's almost a thousand yuan, and there's not even a penny more. Hey, I'm really bleeding a lot today. Let me be like this As a poor peasant, I feel very uneasy. Zhang Rong, go and have another drink to calm my nerves."

Zhang Rong: "..."

Liang Dunyan blinked his triangular eyes, coughed and said, "Mr. Zhao, you know how to be patriotic. Patriotism requires not only feelings, but also practical sacrifices. Although it is true that Beiyang University is a school funded by the imperial court, it can cultivate Talents may not just serve the imperial court. I think you understand this, right?"

That's right, Zhao Chuanxin's head turned around.

The progress of the times is inseparable from education.

The Qing court would be doomed in another three or four years. At most, three or four batches of students would graduate in three or four years. Even if they funded it themselves, they would not be able to reverse the fate of the Qing court.

Isn't the meat rotten in the pot?

Thinking of this, he reluctantly took out another two thousand yuan: "No more, this money is enough for you to buy many books."

Liang Dunyan smiled happily, pulled the money skillfully, found his own box and put it in it.

Zhao Chuanxin's cheeks trembled: "Principal Liang, you are so skillful in holding money, could it be that you often line your own pockets and embezzle the school's public property?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you swallow it, but don't swallow my money, otherwise you will be struck by lightning. Zhao also has a nickname, Hunyuan Thunder Hand, do you know?"

"It's nothing!" Liang Dunyan stopped messing with him and changed the subject: "Don't you want to send a telegram? I'll take you there."

Zhao Chuanxin slapped his forehead: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot."

Three people came to report to the school's telegraph room.

Zhao Chuanxin turned to Liang Dunyan and said, "Principal Liang, please get out. Why don't you respect other people's privacy?"

Liang Dunyan glared at him, "You are the only one with a lot of things to do."

But he still said: "The telegraph operator is from our school. I wonder if I will know sooner or later, but I don't bother to peek into other people's secrets."

At this time, Zhang Rong, who was silent next to him, said: "The telegraph operator can also go out, I can send a telegram."

Liang Dunyan: "..."

Liang Dunyan and the telegraph operator were both kicked out.

Zhang Rong sat in the telegraph operator's seat: "Mr. Zhao, what are you sending and where are you sending it to?"

Zhao Chuanxin gave him the address.

Said: "Are you there?"

Zhang Rong was slightly stunned, then asked: "What did you say next?"

"Just two words."

Zhang Rong simply won’t.

Growing up, this was the first time I saw someone sending a telegram like this.

Hong Kong Island.

The mail room of Xuantian Sect.

The telegraph operator picked up the content and hurried to Li Guangzong's office: "Deputy head, there is a telegram from Tianjin Wei Beiyang University. It's very strange, just two words - are you there? Do you want me to ask what this means?"

Li Guangzong smiled when he heard this: "No need to ask, this is our leader."

Telegraph operator: "Huh? You just said two words and you knew this was the leader?"

Li Guangzong smiled and said nothing, and followed the telegraph operator to the mail room.

"Reply to the leader - here."

The telegraph operator was speechless and obeyed.

"I'll tell you something."

"What's the matter?"

"We met a heroine named Qiu on the train before. Go and persuade her. We can fund her to study in the West. She may be able to survive this year."

Li Guangzong, who was well aware of Zhao Chuanxin's unpredictable abilities, had no doubts about Zhao Chuanxin's ability to predict the future.

Immediately asked: "In what name?"

"She should be running a newspaper now. Let's just say this is a charity association student activity, so that she can come back after further studies to run a newspaper better."

"Copy that, there's one more thing I need to report to you."

"But there's no harm in talking."

"A foreigner named Herbert Ponting said that you promised to sponsor him as a director and came to Hong Kong Island to find me. I confirmed that his words were true. I bought him filming facilities. How are you going to arrange for him? "

As for how Li Guangzong verified it without any letters or documents?

He only needed to ask Herbert Ponting how he met Zhao Chuanxin and what they had said to each other.

He could immediately know that it was indeed what Zhao Chuanxin had promised.

Because Zhao Chuanxin's language style is unique and unique in the world at this time, and it is much more reliable than any stamp.

This is the same as when he received the telegram, he immediately knew that it was Zhao Chuanxin on the other side.

"You ask him to come north to the Yanbian area, and I ask him to test the waters by taking pictures of social sentiments."

"Sir, I don't know whether to say something or not."

“I feel like it’s inappropriate to talk about it, so why should I talk about it?”

The Hong Kong telegraph operator and Zhang Rong looked confused.

Is this how the telegram was sent?

But Li Guangzong has already adapted to Zhao Chuanxin's style.

He said: "You are making too much noise in Tianjin City, and your big trees attract the wind."

There is obviously something in this.

"If you fart, let it go, don't hide it."

At this time, the telegraph operator on Hong Kong Island discovered that the deputy leader, who had always been confident, showed a trace of hesitation on his face this time.

He couldn't help but ask: "Deputy leader, what are you hesitating about?"

Li Guangzong smiled bitterly: "Our leader is very capable of tossing people around. If he becomes a king, it will definitely be Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, Zhou You and Han Ling, Jin Hui, Sui Yang, and Song Huizong. The best result is nothing more than that. It's Liu Bang who did some ridiculous things."

I, Cao, am such a fool!

As for Liu Bang, although he was ridiculous, he did something serious.

However, the telegraph operator immediately caught something: "Ah, deputy head, does the head want to overthrow the Qing court and become emperor himself?"

Li Guangzong was stunned: "Don't talk nonsense.

I'm just making an analogy.

The boss has such a temper. If you ask him to be the captain of the insurance team and the head of the Xuantian Sect, he will turn away from the boss. What kind of emperor can he be?

This is also what I admire about your husband as a person. Although he is very capable, he will never reverse the course of history, let alone have that ambition.

What's more, the torrent of history is rolling, and anyone who tries to resist it is like a mantis trying to block the chariot. "

Isn't there someone in the future who didn't resist the temptation and decided to take the throne for a while if he felt he was good enough?

"That……"

Then you specifically use the emperor as a metaphor?

"My husband is in Tianjin Wei this time. The matter is too big and cannot be ended, which makes me feel very uneasy. Now is a very important time point, and I really shouldn't let him mess around. As his deputy, I have an obligation Remind him."

Telegraph operator is a very critical position.

There are many things that you can't hide from him even if you want to.

Simply, Li Guangzong expressed his worries.

The telegraph operator also understood this, so he asked unscrupulously: "Deputy leader, do you have any ideas?"

"Hey, I want the leader to temporarily leave Lugang Town, not just the insurance team."

The telegraph operator was shocked: "Lugang Town was built by its leader. Every landmark was designed by him personally. Can he let it go?"

Li Guangzong shook his head: "Today's development of Lugang Town, all economic sources are supported by the leader. What's more, the life and death of Lugang Town depends on the leader. Lugang Town has tied him up, and he It will also affect Lugang Town. It’s not about letting him leave forever, just five years at most.”

"Then why don't you want to say it? I think the leader can still distinguish right from wrong."

Li Guangzong put his hands behind his hands and sighed: "I'm worried that your husband will feel aggrieved. With his temperament, he has never been able to bear being aggrieved.

If he feels aggrieved, he might cause an earth-shattering mess! "

"What should we do?"

“It’s better not to act too hastily, but to do it step by step. Don’t tell him some things for the time being, boil the frog in warm water, and gradually let him accept it.

I said, you sent..."

When Zhang Rong received the news from Hong Kong Island, he was surprised, and then handed the paper to Zhao Chuanxin because the news was relatively long.

He carefully looked at Zhao Chuanxin's face and found that his expression was as usual and he was not angry, so he was relieved.

It was written on the paper: Do not continue to be at odds with the Qing court before the critical moment comes. The husband cannot return to Lugang Town for the time being. Zhao Zhongyi should announce that the husband has left Lugang Town and the insurance team. Lugang Town still has money in its accounts, so Mr. Xiang should cut off financial support. I arranged the affairs of Xuantian Sect and immediately took Herbert Ponting north to take charge of the overall situation. Sir, you just need to calm down and leave the rest to Guangzong.

When Zhang Rong saw that Zhao Chuanxin had read everything, his expression remained unchanged and he was completely relieved.

Zhao Chuanxian said: "Reply to him - Got it, I will find a way to solve this matter from the root cause. You contact my British butler Freddy Pertwee and ask him to mobilize funds. And notify Jesse Livermore, he will come in handy in the second half of this year. Let him be prepared and hire more personal bodyguards by then. I'm afraid he will be beaten to death by then. Okay, don't talk nonsense, I have something else to do, and the conversation ends here. "

When Li Guangzong received the news.

Everyone is feeling bad.

The phrase "I will solve this matter from the root cause" particularly frightened him.

He patiently looked back, but there was nothing else.

He knew that Zhao Chuanxin still had property in the United States, a British butler, and an American financial advisor, and that something important did happen in the second half of this year.

But when he saw Zhao Chuanxin's last words, he was shocked: "Hurry up and reply, otherwise it will be too late - Sir, you must not act rashly, the man in the Forbidden City cannot move..."

Li Guangzong knew Zhao Chuanxin very well.

Zhang Rong couldn't understand what Zhao Chuanxin said, but Li Guangzong understood very well what Zhao Chuanxin wanted to do.

However,

It's still too late.

Zhao Chuanxin had already pulled Zhang Rong away.

I didn't see the last message at all.

I would like to remind excited book friends that this book is called The Master in the Late Qing Dynasty, but it is not called Zhao Liguo in the Late Qing Dynasty, nor is it called the Dharma Emperor in the Late Qing Dynasty, nor is it called The Legal System in the Late Qing Dynasty.
