Chapter 1019: For Your Peace, Cede Land

The man turned around and looked at Zhao Chuanxin angrily: "What a trouble maker you are..."

But Zhao Chuanxin slapped him on the head: "Fuck you, you turned your head when the enemy is at hand. How can you be so rude? Shoot now."

The man turned his back to Zhao Chuanxin and cried, "Why would I shoot..."

bang bang bang...

He said he didn't shoot and his body didn't move, but the trigger was pulled.

Type 26 revolver, this thing has little power and is prone to accidental discharge.

Moreover, it is a double-action revolver, and it is very troublesome to pull the trigger.

But this man fired six shots in a row, hitting the policeman opposite him with every shot.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that the female workers behind him were a little scared and many of them wanted to run away, so he quickly said, "Hey, look at this man, he said he wouldn't shoot, but his body was very honest. He is standing up for you. Do you have the nerve to run? You definitely don't want to suffer such condemnation from your conscience."

"This……"

Zhao Chuanxin struck while the iron was hot: "Don't be afraid. Since you are asking for a reduction in working hours and an increase in salary, just make a big fuss. Otherwise, no one will pay attention to you. You can't protest on the streets every day. No matter what happens, our hero will bear it all. By the way, hero, what's your name?"

The hero was staring at the smoking revolver in his hand in confusion.

He began to doubt his life: I have a gun in my hand and a head on my head. Am I destined by God to be a tough guy who speaks up for the people?

He instinctively answered, "My name is Sato Masayoshi."

Zhao Chuanxin was full of admiration: "He really lives up to his name, don't you think?"

"Hai."

Zhao Chuanxin reminded: "Sato Masayoshi, go pick up the gun from the body quickly, there are military police coming over there, otherwise it will be too late."

Sato Masayoshi came back to his senses, was startled, and hurried over to pick up the gun.

This time it was a Type 30 rifle. He held the rifle with a bitter face: "I, I don't know how to use it..."

Zhao Chuanxin took it and said, "I know a thing or two, but I'm not as good as you. Just pull the bolt and load it. Here, I give it to you."

Sato Masayoshi took it dazed.

Zhao Chuanxin raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed it at the military police who came running over: "You can pull the trigger now."

boom.

Sato Masayoshi's mind was confused at this time. He was not sure whether he pulled the trigger or not. Anyway, the military police on the opposite side fell down.

Some of the female workers were excited, while others were at a loss.

Zhao Chuanxin distributed the remaining guns to the female workers. He stood behind one of them and helped her raise her gun. "Come, I'll teach you. Pull the bolt like this. Hold the gun and aim with the sight. OK, this angle is just right. Put it here."

boom.

Another gendarme fell.

Even though Lao Zhao was a newbie, he had fed himself countless ammunition, and he was also quite talented.

No matter what kind of gun it is, once you touch it, it will be as easy to operate as if it were another organ of the body.

The female worker had pretty eyes and brows. Zhao Chuanxin was blowing air into her ear. She leaned against the tall man with her face blushing.

After firing the gun and seeing the military police fall, she suddenly had a different feeling, that was the power to hold other people's lives and deaths in her own hands.

When she was still enjoying herself, Zhao Chuanxin had already gone to instruct the next female worker.

The female worker shook her head like a rattle: "I can't do it. I dare not shoot. I can't kill, let alone kill people..."

Zhao Chuanxin pulled the bolt and loaded the gun without saying a word, then held her arm.

boom.

A military policeman who was hiding in a bunker was shot.

"Ah..." the female worker screamed.

Zhao Chuanxin shouted: "There are no military police ahead. Hero Sato, you must give the order quickly. Order us to seize the military police's guns. This opportunity is too good to be missed!"

Sato Masayoshi turned around and saw Zhao Chuanxin's face full of trust and encouragement.

This angle is very strange. Zhao Chuanxin was standing among the female workers, but Sato Masayoshi only paid attention to Zhao Chuanxin. Zhao Chuanxin's attitude made him mistakenly think it was the attitude of all the female workers.

So he had all the courage in his life: "Everyone, follow my orders, go and take the gendarmes' guns."

Some female workers followed Sato Masayoshi, some just followed the crowd, some followed Zhao Chuanxin, and the rest tried not to get involved, but they were like a small piece of wood in a mudslide, being swept forward involuntarily.

Sato Masayoshi, because of his personality or genes, has been bullied since childhood and has never received any recognition in his life.

At this moment, he suddenly became a hero, which made him feel unprecedented pleasure.

So what if I die?

Zhao Chuanxin saw more than thirty gendarmes gathering in front of the "Prince Paper" store. They were supposed to go north, but now they had to turn around to deal with the female workers who were marching and rioting.

Seeing that Sato Masayoshi was about to rush forward, Zhao Chuanxin seemed to really regard him as the son of God, so he quickly persuaded him: "Sato Masayoshi, we need shelter. Look at the wooden door over there where the salted fish are drying. Let's go there."

Sato Masayoshi looked at him gratefully and said, "Okay, let's go over there."

This guy is really strong and knows a lot, but he only obeys me.

Very good.

When the gendarmerie approached, Sato Masayoshi was the first to stand up and open fire.

boom.

I don't know where the bullet went.

When Zhao Chuanxin found that Sato Masayoshi was beginning to doubt him, he said, "Let's not let the hero bleed and cry alone. Let's shoot together."

After saying that, he ran behind a row of hanging salted fish, blocking everyone's view, took out a Lee Enfield short rifle, and waited for Sato Masayoshi to shoot.

boom.

The two gunshots overlapped, with no clear distinction between which came first and which came later.

A gendarme fell.

But Sato Masayoshi loaded the gun too slowly, and the military police were coming in full force, so Zhao Chuanxin had to continue shooting when the female workers fired.

Sato Masayoshi and several female workers thought they had shot the military police. Their hands and feet were shaking with excitement, but their guns were getting more and more slippery.

Sato Masayoshi yelled, "Ah...die..."

Damn it, what's the point of making so much noise on the battlefield?
bang bang bang...

Sato Masayoshi was targeted.

The shelter where he was was hit and wood chips flew everywhere. A sharp piece of broken wood flew out and cut Sato Masayoshi's face, but he seemed not to notice it.

The gendarmes on the opposite side initially did not take these rabble seriously.

However, after one round of ammunition was fired, the enemy was unharmed, while seven or eight of their men fell.

"Baga, idiot, what's going on?"

"They don't have many guns. Half of us will provide cover while the rest of us risk our lives to rush over and capture these damn women in one fell swoop."

So the gendarmerie was divided.

The people behind took turns to provide cover. When the suicide squad charged with bayonets on their guns, Sato Masayoshi and the female worker looked at the ferocious faces of the military police and felt a little panicked.

A female worker shouted to Sato Masayoshi: "Hero, we have no bullets."

Sato Masayoshi hurried to find Zhao Chuanxin, who lived up to his expectations and emerged from the crowd of salted fish: "Don't be afraid, we will also use bayonets, I believe in you."

Sato Masayoshi gritted his teeth, fastened the bayonet, and was determined to die.

The military police rushed forward with bayonets in hand, and Sato Masayoshi confronted them head-on with the bayonet in hand.

Suddenly, the gendarme seemed to be tripped by something and fell forward.

Sato Masayoshi was dumbfounded: I am indeed the chosen one.

He hurriedly grabbed the bayonet and stabbed the gendarme in the back.

The second military policeman wanted to go find the female worker, and Sato Masayoshi was encouraged and stabbed her with his bayonet.

The military police grinned grimly, and seeing that Sato Masayoshi had fair skin and weak hands and feet, he decided to knock his bayonet away and then stab him again.

However, as soon as the military police's bayonet touched Sato Masayoshi's bayonet, it was "knocked away".

Sato Masayoshi swung his knife and it got stuck in the gendarme's bone, so he pulled it out with force.

Then he raised his gun and bayonet and laughed: "Who dares to fight me?"

After saying that, he rushed towards the rest of the people.

He seemed to be assisted by God, but Zhao Chuanxin's forehead was covered with sweat.

My goodness, it is much more difficult to cooperate with the performance than to do it himself.

Zhao Chuanxin called out to everyone at the right time: "Sato Masayoshi is a one-man defense, ten thousand men cannot break through. Let's fight together."

Two female workers were stabbed to death. Sato Masayoshi rushed left and right, rushing to the rescue, invincible and invincible.

In a moment, he killed seven or eight of the charging gendarmes, and the remaining two ran away.

Sato Masayoshi laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, no one can match me, Sato Masayoshi! Don't be afraid, follow me, and I guarantee that you will get what you want."

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The remaining military police have all run away. I guess they must have gone to ask for help. Once the main force arrives, our few people and few guns will not be enough." Sato Masayoshi's smile faded and he said nervously, "What should we do?"

Zhao Chuanxin pretended to think, then clapped his hands for a while and said, "I got it. I heard that there is a peacekeeping bureau in Fuxiang County. It is a military blank area, and the army dare not go there. You all go to the peacekeeping bureau to seek shelter, and you will surely be able to turn danger into safety."

Sato Masayoshi said, "Okay, let's go there."

He didn't care at all about the embarrassment on the faces of many female workers.

Many of them have families and jobs, how can they just leave?

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin raised his fist and shouted: "Follow Sato Masayoshi and fight to the end."

One of the female workers' minds went blank and she couldn't help but shout along.

And Sato Masayoshi was very proud.

Next, Zhao Chuanxin stopped playing with them and teleported back to the Peacekeeping Bureau.

The battle in the Varanasi River Valley had actually stopped. Kuroda Toshiyoshi was restless, waiting for Zhao Chuanxin.

"Hey, where have you been? I had a hard time looking for you." When Kuroda Toshiyoshi saw Zhao Chuanxin appear, he hurried forward and said, "Quick, I'm here to seek help from the Peacekeeping Bureau. I need your help in mediating the war."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the sparkling sea and said calmly, "Peacekeeping is fine. Please help me to have a talk with Maozi. After all, I am now representing the Peacekeeping Bureau and I don't want to participate in the battle. If I show up rashly, it will be bad if there is a misunderstanding."

……

In Lubin Prefecture, Yao Jia summoned a group of merchants to a meeting.

Some famous merchants from outside the Great Wall came, and Niu Zihou, the richest man in Jilin, even showed up in person to show his support. His son Niu Hanzhang and Sun Yutang, the head manager of the Niu family, were also present.

Yao Jia coughed to quiet the crowd: "This meeting is to discuss the formation of a foreign merchant group and the matter of entering Korea to do business."

Wang Jingshan frowned: "Going to Korea to do business? The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and there are wars and chaos. Is it inappropriate to do business in Korea?"

Yao Jia nodded. "Mountains are high and rivers are long, which is not a problem. Lubinfu Bank and Lugang Town Bank have approved loans, so repairing bridges and roads is out of the question. As for security, that is exactly the theme of today. Merchants outside the Great Wall must have their own merchant protection team. In my opinion, 5000 people is about the right size."

Everyone gasped.

How the hell is this called forming a merchant protection team?
This is clearly a case of repairing the plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang, sending troops in another way.

Niu Zihou's thoughts raced.

In such matters, Yao Shijie would never dare to act on his own without Zhao Chuanxin's instruction.

The Beishui Army has already occupied the riverside area, so wouldn't it be unnecessary to do this now?
Immediately, he thought of the Hague Arms Limitation Commission sending people to unite the ten countries to restrict and disarm Zhao Chuanxin.

Niu Zihou understood.

While others were still buzzing about it, Niu Zihou made the final decision: "The Niu family agrees to open a branch in Bangzi!"

The merchant representative from Lugang Town also slammed the table and said, "I agree too."

Du Lisan laughed and said, "What are the Japanese afraid of? I'm going there too."

……

Xu Shichang and Wu Luzhen exchanged telegrams, and he asked Wu Luzhen: "Where is Zhao Chuanxin now?"

Wu Luzhen said: "I don't know that all the affairs of the Beishui Army in Yanbian were handled by Ge Yunpeng. The Beishui Army received a sum of money, recruited soldiers, and changed new equipment."

Xu Shichang sighed: "If I don't know Zhao Chuanxin's whereabouts, I will never feel at ease."

"..."

……

Kuroda Toshiyoshi has already contacted the Russians, and the Russian representative Boyarkov has agreed to go to the Peacekeeping Agency for negotiations tomorrow.

Zhao Chuanxin built a spiral staircase outside the tower, leading directly to the second, third and fourth floors.

Especially on the top floor, Zhao Chuanxin opened large windows and placed two rows of long solid wood tables and chairs specifically for negotiations.

The next day, when Kuroda Toshiyoshi came, he found that the Peacekeeping Bureau's tower had changed and didn't know what to say.

This building seems to be made of clay, allowing Zhao Chuanxin to change it as he wishes.

This man's ability to build a tall building overnight can be used on the battlefield to quickly construct military buildings, which would be hard to defend against.

No wonder he always wins the battles.

Just imagine, if there is a bunker every hundred meters, it would be extremely difficult for infantry to advance one mile.

The Russian representative Boyarkov and the Japanese representative Matsudaira Konyo, under the persuasion of Kuroda Toshiyoshi, did not bring any troops with them, but only came with their accompanying clerks.

They saw Zhao Chuanxin, wearing a dupatta suit, a silk shirt, and a Santos pilot watch on his wrist, greeting them very formally outside the peacekeeping bureau.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao."

People who come here don't dare to act rashly and just say hello honestly.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture.

After going up to the fourth floor, both parties sat down. Kuroda Toshiyoshi discovered that there were actually a few service staff, dressed in respectable clothes, serving tea and water.

He was obviously a Japanese, with rough hands and feet. He looked like a dock worker who was temporarily conscripted by Zhao Chuanxin.

Kuroda Toshiyoshi suddenly had a bad feeling about seeing Japanese traitors. He glared at them fiercely, pretending not to see these human rights violations.

After all, if you offend Kuroda Toshiyoshi, at most you will be punished, but if you offend Zhao Chuanxin, you will die.

Zhao Chuanxin said, "It's like this. Yesterday, I received a message from Kuroda Toshiyoshi saying that Japan might go to war with you, Russia..."

Kuroda Toshiyoshi next to him jumped up and said, "Mr. Zhao, you can't talk nonsense like this..."

He cannot take the responsibility when several gangs put the blame on him.

He was clearly asking the Japanese army to put on a show.

Zhao Chuanxin held his hands in the air and said, "Alright, alright, sit down. This is what happened. Kuroda Toshiyoshi asked me to help mediate. But I was still on the road when I heard the sound of gunfire from both sides. I want to ask, why did you fight?"

Matsudaira Kunyang: "This..."

He wanted to say that the acting was overdone.

Boyarkov pointed at Matsudaira Kunyang and cursed: "One chicken to get wisdom!"

Zhao Chuanxin said in Russian: "Speak politely and don't curse."

When both sides heard this, they were surprised to find that Zhao Chuanxin not only spoke fluent Japanese, but could even speak fluent Russian.

What they don’t know is that Zhao Chuanxin speaks English and Spanish even better, and can speak some simple Korean.

He is also a genius who is proficient in the languages ​​of six countries.

Seeing that Boyarkov was calm, Zhao Chuanxin said to Songping Kunyang: "You speak first."

Matsudaira Kunyang organized the speech: "This is what happened. One of our artillery pieces went off accidentally and hit their position. They attacked us, so we had to fight back. We are the victims..."

What a shameless person.

Overlook your own mistakes.

Zhao Chuanxin was filled with righteous indignation and said to Boyarkov: "How could you do this? They just fired accidentally, not really fighting. Maybe it was just a show. You opened fire. It's too much."

Boyarkov was furious: "What? This damn devil, he lied. They fired, killing five of us and injuring two, and we were the victims. When we fought back, they didn't explain and started a war with us directly. They also sent out a suicide squad early to attack our artillery positions..."

Zhao Chuanxin was secretly happy.

Matsudaira Kunyang refused to give in: "Bullshit, we didn't sneak attack your artillery positions. How could I know that the artillery that went off accidentally would hit anyone? We have clearly given you benefits, but you still won't give in..."

"Wait..." Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him: "Why did you give them benefits?"

"It's not..." Kuroda Toshiyoshi coughed violently in the middle of his sentence. Matsudaira Kunyang realized that he had said something wrong and stopped talking in time: "For the sake of peace, we are willing to give some benefits. Mr. Zhao, you know that the Russians have a bad temper and are prone to misunderstandings. Look, they are wrongly accusing a good person."

"Wrongly accusing a good person?" Boyarkov slammed the table, rushed towards Matsudaira Kunyang, and raised his fist to hit him.

However, Zhao Chuanxin easily stopped him with his hand: "Don't get excited, drink some tea to cool down, and continue talking."

Boyarkov was surprised.

This man is very strong.

Zhao Chuanxin said, "Tell me what you want. Song Ping Kun Yang, you go first."

"Why should he speak first?" Boyarkov asked angrily.

"Well, you go first."

Boyarkov shouted with spit flying and veins throbbing: "I want them to pay compensation, 500,000 yen."

"What?" Matsudaira Konyo laughed angrily, "Five hundred thousand? Why don't you just rob? The most we can pay is 5000 yen."

The two sides bargained and argued fiercely.

Kuroda Toshiyoshi was sweating profusely and said to Zhao Chuanxin, "Mr. Zhao, I'm here to mediate with you. You can't keep silent."

Zhao Chuanxin looked around in the secret realm and found that his cigar was all gone, so he had to take out his cigar and light it up. He took a puff and knocked on the table: "Okay, okay, don't argue for now. The Boronai Valley is a place of right and wrong. As the director of the Peacekeeping Bureau, I can't sit idly by and watch you guys get into danger of an accidental shooting. So I have a decision. I have decided to temporarily take over the Boronai Valley for the Peacekeeping Bureau. This is good for both of you. I have decided that from Smirnykh in the north to Fuxiang County in the south, it will all be the territory of the Peacekeeping Bureau in the future."

"No."

Both sides said in unison.

Good man, come or not, let Zhao Chuanxin take away 60 kilometers of land, what will happen then?

Kuroda Toshiyoshi looked at Zhao Chuanxin in disbelief...
