The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

The food was a bit too plain for Zhao Chuanxin.

Regardless of meat or seafood, they are more like embellishments among green and white vegetables. The clear soup is watery and tasteless.

On the contrary, Xian Yubin ate happily.

He hadn't had such a hearty meal for a long time after living on the streets.

Jin Wuzhi suddenly said: "Mr. Zhao, I see that you don't seem to have any use for me. How about I go back first?"

He was afraid.

Zhao Chuanxin is very capable of doing things. Since coming to Seoul, he has been overwhelmed by emergencies one after another.

If he continues like this, sooner or later someone will take advantage of him and arrest him.

The lighter case will end up in a prison cell, and the worst case will not be able to save their lives.

Zhao Chuanxin took a sip of kelp soup: "I asked you to take the map with you, can you guarantee that the map is foolproof?"

Jin Wuzhi was stunned for a moment.

Although he helped Naoko Yuka with a message, he didn't know the inside story about "Daitoyu Map".

But obviously this map is definitely crucial.

He hesitated: "I'm afraid I can't guarantee this."

"Okay, let's go first."

Zhao Chuanxin did not embarrass him.

Because Seoul will be even more chaotic in the future.

While eating, two people suddenly came in.

They wore smart and fashionable suits and talked loudly.

"Li Wanyong returned to Seoul today and hid in the Tongyuan Mansion. This afternoon, this national traitor represented Korea and signed a traitorous treaty with Ito Hirobumi. It is difficult to recover after overturning the water."

"Mr. Ziming, is this true? Is he that anxious?"

The other person seemed shocked.

"It's absolutely true! After signing the treaty, Ito Hirobumi made the decision and rewarded Li Wan with a huge sum of 100,000 yen, which was regarded as compensation for the destruction of his house. In addition, he was also awarded the Rising Sun Tung Blossom Order. This thief is We Korean traitors are also loyal and lackeys of the Japanese."

Zhao Chuanxin naturally couldn't understand what they were saying.

But Xian Yubin and Jin Wuzhi understood.

Jin Wuzhi's expression changed.

He no longer considered himself a Korean, but the news was still hard to accept.

So, he quietly translated the conversation to Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin's reaction was just the opposite of theirs, and he felt happy.

Kim Moo-chi said: "The person who seems to be the "Han Daily News", the oldest one is called Liang Qiduo, whose courtesy name is Ziming, and is one of the co-founders of the newspaper."

Zhao Chuanxin vaguely knew this person.

Zhao Chuanxin put down his chopsticks as if he couldn't bear to eat, "Oh, it's really disgusting, it's so unreasonable, it's really unreasonable."

Jin Wuzhi was stunned: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the tea cup: "No, I have to drink a cup of tea to calm down. It really shocked me."

Saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

happy……

Maybe he was a little carried away, but Jin Wuzhi saw a little bit of gloating in Zhao Chuanxin's misfortune.

Jin Wuzhi said: "Mr. Zhao, why don't you hurry back with me? I think this place will really become a Japanese world soon."

Zhao Chuanxin slammed the table and said loudly and arrogantly: "What are you talking about! Seoul will always belong to the Korean people. South Korea will always belong to the Korean people. The Korean people will resist to the end."

Several people over there were attracted by the sound of banging the table and shouting, and couldn't help but look over.

Liang Qiduo, who had a messy beard, cheered loudly: "That gentleman is right, Korea will always belong to the Korean people!

I'm Liang Qiduo, whose courtesy name is Ziming. I haven't asked you for your name yet? "

The people of this era are all passionate, far from what the indifferent people of later generations can imagine.

Zhao Chuanxin held up his hand from afar: "It's easy to talk, I am Miao Renfeng, I specialize in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction, and I am invincible."

"..."

Liang Qiduo and the two were immediately stunned.

God specializes in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction, and it sounds like he needs a beating.

He didn't want to talk to Zhao Chuanxin anymore.

He felt that Zhao Chuanxin was playing a trick on him.

Jin Wuzhi wanted to cover his face, but Xian Yubin had never seen such a person who could speak without changing his face.

But Zhao Chuanxin waved to the table: "Come on, come on, we are like-minded, why not join a table and discuss how to deal with this thief Li Wanyong."

Jin Wuzhi was startled and hurriedly kicked Zhao Chuanxin under the table.

I mean, don't look for trouble.

Over there, Liang Qiduo hesitated for a moment.

But the young man with a round face and side-parted comb next to him slapped the table: "What a like-minded person. Let's share a table."

This time, Jin Wuzhi didn't have any more moves.

He could only twist his butt restlessly on the chair, and those who didn't know thought he was sitting on the wall of fire or had hemorrhoids.

The young man with a round face sat over and raised his hands to Zhao Chuanxin: "I am Li Xiuji, a Korean American. You must not be Korean, right? The accent sounds like the accent from outside the Great Qing Dynasty."

Both of them can speak Chinese.

Liang Qiduo later lived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Li Xiuji even lobbied their patriots throughout the Qing Dynasty. The two people's official language was smoother than Zhao Chuanxin's.

Zhao Chuanxin’s understanding of Liang Qiduo came from Park Seung-yeol.

But our understanding of Li Xiuji comes from history.

This guy is interesting.

He likes young people like this who are easily carried away by passion.

Hey, young, so good!

He said categorically: "Even the center of the universe is in Korea, so there is no difference between the Qing Dynasty and Korea. They are all the same, the same."

"Forehead……"

Liang Qiduo interjected: "I just heard Mr. Miao say that we want to punish the national traitor Li Wanyong. How do you say this?"

Zhao Chuanxin said with emotion: "Of course I have to kill this thief to relieve the hatred in my heart."

He was simply angrier than the Koreans present.

Abroad, Zhao Chuanxin has always let himself go, wishing that the world would be in chaos. Anyway, he didn't lose half a dime.

Lee Soo-gil was directly impressed by Cho Chuan-sin's acting skills.

He immediately said: "Brother Miao, if you want to assassinate Li Wanyong, take me with you. Nothing else, but he is full of passion."

Liang Qiduo quickly dissuaded him: "Don't be impatient. This matter should be discussed in the long term."

How dare you beat your chest and swear to assassinate the leader of the pro-Japanese faction Li Wanyong together with someone you just met.

Second pussy?

But Zhao Chuanxin said: "Okay! Even with Brother Hideyoshi's passion, I have to bring you with me."

Killing Li Wan is easy, but for the follow-up, Zhao Chuanxin needs a lot of hot-blooded young people.

Isn't this just delivered to your door?

Liang Qiduo was anxious: "Killing Li Wanyong will naturally relieve his anger, but the deal is already done. Even if Li Wanyong dies, the Japanese will still succeed. The most important thing now is to understand the treaty signed by Li Wanyong and the Japanese. What exactly is it?”

Zhao Chuanxin said to his heart that the old boy was quite clear-headed.

Indeed, predicting the enemy's opportunity is a hundred times more important than assassinating Li Wanyong.

In the original trajectory, the Japanese took advantage of the Korean people's ignorance of the truth and asked the puppet Han Ting to deceive senior officers of the Korean Imperial Army Guards and summon them to the Daekwan Pavilion, the headquarters of the Japanese Army in Korea.

Then, in the name of Li Su, the crown prince at that time and the emperor at that time, the edict to disband the army was read out.

This caught many people off guard.

If it had been someone else, there were some things that Zhao Chuanxin wouldn't have said.

But that day he spread rumors in Seoul, and the next day he was assisted by "Korea Daily Report".

Through Park Seung-yeol, he got to know the newspaper and the people behind it.

I learned that Liang Qiduo was also an independence activist in Korea, and he was still very active.

Lee Soo-gil will be even more passionate and angry in the future.

In this case, Zhao Chuanxin said openly: "I know what the content is."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Liang Qiduo breathed heavily: "Seriously? Tell me quickly, what's the content?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Ignore the details, there are three main themes.

One, let Xiao Li, uh, let Li Xi abdicate.

The second is to deprive Korea of ​​its legislative power.

Third, disband the Korean army. "

Three pieces of content are groundbreaking.

Liang Qiduo said sternly: "How did you know this?"

The unexpected encounter made it difficult for him to trust Zhao Chuanxin.

"Don't worry about where I know it. Even if it's false, it won't cost you anything. But if it's true and we can be prepared, the benefits will be great. What do you think?"

Liang Qiduo felt very reasonable after hearing what Zhao Chuanxin said.

The hot-blooded young man Li Xiuji blushed with excitement and said, "Li Wanyong, he really deserves death. He even dares to sign such a treaty."

At this time, Li Wanyong was of little use except to increase the anger of the Korean people.

Zhao Chuanxin patted Li Xiuji's arm: "Where's Li Wanyong? When the time comes, I will let Brother Li watch him die with his own eyes. But the top priority right now is how to deal with the Japanese."

Liang Qiduo couldn't help but become suspicious again when he saw that Zhao Chuanxin was very concerned about this matter.

Obviously, Zhao Chuanxian was from the Qing Dynasty.

Why would a Qing man take an active part in the internal affairs of Korea?

Just because you are warm-hearted?

But Liang Qiduo remained calm and asked: "Mr. Yi Miao, how should we deal with the Japanese?"

Zhao Chuanxin did not answer this question immediately, but said: "Let's reason and analyze. If the Japanese ask the Emperor of Korea to abdicate, they must let the crown prince take the throne, right?"

Liang Qiduo was startled, then nodded.

Zhao Chuanxin continued: "Li Kuo is cowardly and will definitely become a puppet of the Japanese. At this time, the Japanese can disband the Korean army. So, guess what the reaction of the people across the country will be? And the Korean army , will you be willing to give in?"

Liang Qiduo was thoughtful.

Li Xiuji slapped the table: "The people must be angry, at least there will be large-scale demonstrations."

Activities such as demonstrations and demonstrations gradually became popular in East Asia as the west wind spread eastward.

If you have something to do or nothing, you can go on a parade to show your dissatisfaction, and it's a favor without any expense. How nice.

As a Korean-American, Lee Soo-gil naturally understands.

Because American people often play this.

Liang Qiduo thought more: "My guess is that the top brass of the military will be furious. If someone fan the flames, it can start a prairie fire and set off a frenzy of resistance."

"Not bad." Seeing that the two of them had been guided to reveal what would happen in the future, Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "Is it better to resist, or not to resist?"

Li Xiuji was the first to jump up: "Of course I want to resist."

Liang Qiduo hesitated: "There are 5,000 Korean guards and only 2,000 town guards. Their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Japanese soldiers, and their weapons are also inferior. If there is a full-scale confrontation, I am afraid they will not be opponents and will only increase casualties."

Li Xiuji became angry without Zhao Chuanxin's provocation.

He roared: "Mr. Ziming, are you not resisting because you are afraid of death? Wouldn't this mean that we will perish our country and exterminate our species?"

Liang Qiduo was speechless.

Zhao Chuanxin, who was originally "full of righteous indignation", now seemed extremely calm and wise.

He said cheerfully: "We don't have to argue about this kind of thing."

The two of them couldn't help but look at him, waiting for what would happen next.

Jin Wuzhi yelled at the two idiots in his heart: Zhao Chuanxin was able to lead the way so easily.

Now it is Zhao Chuanxin who has become the leader.

This man is really poisonous.

Zhao Chuanxin had a reassuring smile on his face: "First of all, we can't decide whether the army will resist or not. The initiative lies in the hands of those officers. I know an officer of the Guards. I can remind him in advance. If you want to resist the Japanese and reduce the casualties of the Korean army, the resistance must be organized and prepared. For example, I let the Korean army master the weapons arsenal in advance. For example, I called on the people to join the rebel army and join the Korean army to resist Japan. people."

Liang Qiduo took a breath.

This guy was prepared for a long time and was determined to cause rebellion against the Japanese.

In his heart, he didn't agree with such a fierce confrontation.

Therefore, two difficulties were raised: "First, even if the Korean army has weapons, it is certainly no match for the Japanese army. Second, are the people called upon to fight the Japanese army with hoes and rakes?"

Zhao Chuanxin blinked: "First, maybe the Korean army is no match for the Japanese army. But what if Ito Hirobumi or Hasegawa Yomichi died? Will the Japanese army be in chaos? If we take the opportunity to resist, will we succeed? Second, the people If we don’t have weapons, we can go to the Japanese army’s weapons depot and steal them.”

"This..." Liang Qiduo was confused. "But how could Ito Hirobumi and Hasegawa Yoshimichi die? Also, how easy is it to go to the weapons depot to steal arms? Also, if Ito Hirobumi and Hasegawa Yoshimichi can be killed, then maybe this disaster can be solved directly Why resist if you can avoid it?”

Damn, Zhao Chuanxin's face is a little dark.

The old thing is stuck with a bug.

Zhao Chuanxin naturally had to make the Korean army rebel first, and then he could move Ito Hirobumi or Hasegawa Yomichi.

All he wants is chaos.

But from Liang Qiduo's point of view, it can be delayed for a while.

Better to die than live.

Resistance can be carried out by non-violent means.

Koreans have a shameless spirit and if they promote it more, there will always be opportunities to take advantage of it.

Zhao Chuanxin said in a very rogue manner: "In short, only after the commotion starts, can I be sure to get Ito Hirobumi. If there is no commotion, there is no chance."

"..."

Li Xiuji said: "But, Mr. Miao, there are many things that we are unable to intervene in."

That brings us to the point.

Zhao Chuanxin sat upright: "The future of Korea depends on you and me. Brother Li, your task is to lobby the patriotic people and form a rebel army outside the circle. And I am responsible for preparing the Korean army and thinking How to steal the Japanese army's weapons arsenal. As for Mr. Ziming, your task is the most important. You need to find the gentry in Korea and ask them to donate money if they have money, and materials if they have money. When fighting, you fight with money!"

Liang Qiduo said to himself: I didn't agree, so why did I arrange the task?

But the words could not be spoken.

If you say it, you will appear to be a fake patriot.

He is a leading Korean independence activist.

So he said nothing.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin secretly glanced at Li Xiuji from the corner of his eye, and then said angrily: "Hey, are you putting Mr. Ziming in trouble? It seems that Miao is reckless."

Liang Qiduo: "..."

Li Xiuji was a little superior: "Mr. Ziming, when the Korean Empire is about to survive, are the things outside the body important?"

"I..." Liang Qiduo was very angry, but he could only sigh: "It's not that Liang is stingy, but I've lost everything, how many guns and bullets can I exchange for? It's hard to give up good money, so if others donate money, they have to be willing. Okay."

He didn't realize that he had fallen into Zhao Chuanxin's trap without knowing it. It was as if the contents of the three agreements were regarded as facts.

At this time, Xian Yubin, who had been silent beside him, suddenly put his dirty little hands on the table.

The sound of metal and wood colliding was heard.

The little hand moved away, and there were five more five-cent Korean copper coins.

It was exactly the five that Zhao Chuanxin had given him before.

His voice was very childish, but he said firmly: "I only have this money, and I am willing to donate it all."

I am...

Zhao Chuanxin winked at this kid, what a divine assist.

He immediately stretched out his hand, pushed the five copper coins in front of Li Xiuji, and said solemnly: "Brother Li, this is the first military expenditure of the rebel army, please keep it."

Li Xiuji's eyes turned red.

His eyes were misty, his lips were pursed, and his Adam's apple was trembling.

He counted the money very formally, even though the amount was clearly visible.

After that, he took out a pen and paper from his chest, wrote it down, and asked, "Little brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Xian Yubin!"

"Okay, Xian Yubin, you will be recorded in our Korean history books!"

Xian Yubin nodded seriously.

The atmosphere is touching.

Liang Qiduo said with emotion: "In this case, Liang has nothing to say. After returning, he secretly called on the masses to donate military expenses."

Zhao Chuanxin coughed lightly, and there should be chicken blood at this time, so he said with emotion: "Mr. Ziming, if my prediction is correct, Ito Hirobumi will soon force Li Xi to abdicate and let Li Wei take over. Korea can no longer Let's start all over again, and Korea will only have time to wait for us. Mr. Ziming, you and I should encourage each other!"

At this time, Liang Qiduo couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "Then I'll go back and raise some money."

Li Xiuji stood up and said, "I'm leaving too."

After Zhao Chuanxin discussed the contact information and location with them, he let them leave.

The two of them went out and were blown away by the cool breeze.

Liang Qiduo woke up first.

He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

I was quite wary at first, but why did I inexplicably agree to lobby for donations later?

This matter is just what Miao Renfeng and his family said, and it is difficult to tell whether it is true or not.

In addition, the two parties met for the first time today and did not even know each other's background.

He sighed.

Li Xiuji stopped and asked, "Why did Mr. Ziming sigh?"

"Hideyoshi, are you and I too trusting of strangers?"

Li Xiuji took out a foreign cigarette and lit it: "Mr. Ziming, although I am impulsive, I am not a fool. You said that Li Wanyong signed the third treaty with the Japanese. How could our country be invaded? What's left? It's just the throne, legislative power, and the army."

"this……"

"Mr. Ziming, Miao Renfeng's motives may not be trustworthy. But I think his words are true. I also agree with his reasoning. If this is true, why didn't I prepare in advance? Originally, I just want to assassinate Li Wanyong. But after listening to Miao Renfeng's words, I feel that my burden is heavier. A man is destined to die, and he deserves to die for his country."

"Hey, Hideyoshi, you make it easy. But if we spend the money and the Japanese are still reluctant to move, wouldn't the money be wasted? People eat what horses chew, and it is a waste of money."

Li Xiuji was silent for a moment and then said: "Mr. Ziming, if you really feel embarrassed, I can also find a way myself. The Japanese will definitely take action. Their ambitions have expanded to the point where they must take action."

"Forget it, I'll just accompany you to have fun once." Liang Qiduo emphasized again: "I am only willing to run for you, not because of that Miao Renfeng."

If others knew, he would run around raising money after being fooled by just a few words, and still not be called a fool behind his back?

"Don't worry, Mr. Ziming, if something happens, I will definitely not turn you in."

Historically, after the incident, Lee Soo-gil did not confess any of his accomplices even though he was forced to confess by words and deeds.
