mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 1022 Shameless Zhao Chuanxin, Do Not Die Well

Zhao Chuanxin picked up a black bird-shaped object on the ground and said, "This is it. In Chinese history, it is called the Divine Fire Flying Crow."

"what?"

"nonsense!"

Li Fanjin, who had been clamoring to participate in the meeting but had a cold face and remained silent throughout, suddenly burst out laughing.

Terauchi Masayoshi glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "The Flying Crow of Divine Fire is Qi Jiguang, use him to deal with him, deal with him..."

Zhao Chuanxin added: "Weapons used to fight against Japanese pirates."

"Humph!"

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at the fifty or sixty divine fire crows on the ground and said, "This is what I use. All my stock is stored here."

"I don't believe it!" Terauchi Masaki roared, "I don't believe your missile is the Divine Fire Crow. How can you prove it?"

Zhao Chuanxin picked up a Magic Fire Flying Crow, took out a mahogany stand, placed the Magic Fire Flying Crow on it, then took out a match and lit the fuse.

It made a "Zhr... meat..." sound like the Sky-piercing Monkey and the Divine Fire Crow rushed out.

boom……

A rather grand house collapsed due to the explosion.

Zhao Chuanxin cried out "ouch", and slapped his thigh. "I'm so sorry, I was so busy doing the experiment that I forgot that innocent people might be hurt. Commissioner Frost Feng, please put the blame on Terauchi Masayoshi for the life."

Terauchi Masaki: “…”

However, several people hurriedly ran out from behind the ruins of the house, and the leader, who was covered in dust and dirt, was none other than Lee Jae-myung.

He ran for a distance, then looked back in confusion.

Several Independence Army soldiers were killed on the spot.

He had managed to escape by chance, but he thought that someone had discovered them and was going to deal with them, and he was as frightened as a dog that had lost its home.

On the other side, Zhao Chuanxin shook his head regretfully.

Damn, I missed the target.

The Divine Fire Flying Crow, this thing is just a sky-high monkey, it is normal for it to go astray, even Xingyue cannot calculate its route accurately.

Terauchi Masayoshi saw that this thing was quite powerful, but it was different from the war details he had obtained: "No, the missile can turn."

"Blame me." Zhao Chuanxin patted his head and said, "I'll do it again, but this time I'll blow it up farther."

Li Fanjin couldn't hold back any longer: "Zhao Chuanxin, you treat human life as worthless, how dare you do this?"

Zhao Chuanxin crushed the American pecans, stuffed them into his mouth, and asked cheerfully: "To me now you look like a blade of grass. Do you think I should mow you or not?"

"You..." Li Fanjin was startled.

Frost Feng thought for a moment and asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Take it apart right now and tell me the structure of this missile with wings."

The German delegation nodded vigorously: "Yes, we must be told."

Germany's industry is booming and is already showing signs of surpassing Britain.

There were engineers in the German delegation, and they thought: If you just tell us what you want, we can copy it.

Zhao Chuanxin did not refuse: "Okay."

As he spoke, he began to disassemble it: "The wings are made of bamboo strips and reeds, the shell is made of thin iron sheets, the ignition device is ordinary gunpowder, and the explosives are filled with fragments..."

German engineer: “…”

play?

The structure is so simple that it is not worth imitating.

He asked the crucial question: "You should tell us the composition of gunpowder."

If it was normal explosives, the power shouldn't be so great.

Zhao Chuanxin wiped his hands with a rag and said, "I mixed the gunpowder myself."

The German engineer's eyes lit up: "You should tell me the formula."

Zhao Chuanxin lit up a cigarette and said with a smile: "Okay, give me the steel formula of the German Krupp Iron Works and we will exchange."

The engineer said angrily: "How can that be possible?"

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "If you can't give it to me, why can I give it to you?"

Floss Feng said: "Zhao Chuanxin, the meaning of disarmament is to stop the war. Only if you hand over the formula can we get peace."

Zhao Chuanxin said happily: "Okay, this is the recipe."

As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Flos von.

Frost Feng frowned. It seemed like Zhao Chuanxin had foreseen the future and had actually made preparations in advance?

He took it and looked at it. It said: The formula of the God Fire Flying Crow explosives - Japanese wisteria extract, Japanese iris extract, Japanese camellia extract, Japanese camellia extract...

Wow, it's full of plants originating from Japan, including flowers, grass and wood.

"This……"

Terauchi Masatake turned his head to take a peek and saw that several of the ingredients were unique to Japan, and he couldn't help feeling smug.

Frost von put the recipe away, thinking it was a bit ridiculous.

But before doing the experiment, I can't guarantee 100% that it is false.

He looked at Terauchi Masayoshi with pity and said, "You're still so happy. If the world knew the formula and ingredient list, wouldn't they be thinking about Japanese land every day?"
Zhao Chuanxin blinked and said, "You asked for the formula, and I gave it to you, but you shouldn't make it public, right? I think the Arms Limitation Committee should keep it for themselves."

Frost von couldn't say anything to refute: "Okay."

Terauchi Masayoshi said: "Zhao Chuanxin, you have another means of transportation that can travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night. You need to hand it over as well."

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at the black iron lump with two wheels and said, "Here, that's it."

The engineer from the German delegation was the first to rush over and open the side door. He took a quick look and was stunned: "Why are there two pedals?"

Zhao Chuanxin said as a matter of course: "Isn't this nonsense? How can a bicycle be without pedals?"

"bike?"

The heads of the delegation present were buzzing.

The Japanese conducted the most in-depth research on Zhao Chuanxin. Terauchi Masayoshi retorted: "That's impossible. According to eyewitnesses, your vehicle reached a speed of at least 100 kilometers per hour. Currently, neither steam trains nor gasoline-powered cars can match that. Tell me, how can a bicycle reach that speed?"

Zhao Chuanxin patted his thighs and tensed his muscles. The lines of the thighs could be clearly seen through his pants. "See? My leg muscles are well-developed. I can pedal three people at a time. I have plenty of energy. What do you think?"

Whatever Zhao Chuanxin did was far beyond common sense, making it difficult for Terauchi Masayoshi to tell the truth from the false.

He also walked over to take a closer look. Apart from the two wheels and pedals, the internal structure of this thing was extremely complicated.

The devices exposed outside are enough to make people dizzy, not to mention the various unknown structures hidden inside.

The cyberpunk style of some structures looks sci-fi or even dreamy.

Even the German engineer looked very cautious: "This seems to be a power generation device. The circuit here should be used to transport oil fuel. This switch connects the two injection holes at the back of the car..."

Upon hearing the word "jet hole", Terauchi Masayoshi stopped talking.

Because he learned that there was a faint glow at the rear of Zhao Chuanxin's vehicle.

Is it true?
He exchanged a look with Flos von.

The Germans were eyeing this mode of transport, and so were the Japanese.

The German engineer asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Can you test drive it?"

Zhao Chuanxin refused outright: "No. I can only hand it over. Do I have to tell you how to make it and how to operate it? Aren't you too shameless?"

The German engineers were left speechless.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Frost von and asked, "Can we sign the treaty now?"

Frost von's eyes flickered. "Sure, but we need two to three days to draft the agreement."

"No need." Zhao Chuanxin took out some papers and said, "I am also a member of the Arms Limitation Committee. I have already done the paperwork."

Then he handed it to Flos von.

When Frost von saw it, he was stunned.

I blanch.

This guy even prepared the agreement in advance, he definitely came prepared.

Suddenly I felt cheated.

The others probably thought so too.

Frost von refused: "I need to take it back and take a closer look..."

Zhao Chuanxin took a deep puff of his cigarette: "Look carefully? There are only a few words in total, what do you want to read? I agreed to every condition you proposed. Now we are signing the contract, but you are making excuses. You think I, Zhao Chuanxin, am easy to bully, right? I'm putting it here today. If you can sign, then sign. If you can't sign, we'll continue to fight after today until one side is convinced!"

Frost Feng saw that Zhao Chuanxin's murderous intentions were revealed and it didn't seem like he was bluffing.

He had no choice but to show the articles drafted by Zhao Chuanxin to the representatives of various countries present.

Just as Zhao Chuanxin said, the treaty is concise, concise, and contains little content, but it covers all the contents of the meeting.

Both sides will be disarmed and their troops will be withdrawn from the three locations, with all aspects covered.

After everyone had passed it around, they all looked towards Frost von.

Frost von didn't want to sign because it was related to his personal interests.

While he was thinking about it, Zhao Chuanxin became impatient: "One word, sign or not?"

Frost Feng swallowed and said, "Sign it."

The name of this document is - "Huining Agreement".

Zhao Chuanxin, Terauchi Masayoshi, representatives from various countries and Frost von all signed.

Li Fanjin shouted, "I, Dahan, disagree..." Flos Feng waved his hand, "Someone, kick him out."

If you still don’t agree, who do you think you are?

Li Fanjin struggled, looking at Zhao Chuanxin and shouting: "You have no right to decide for me, Daehan..."

Zhao Chuanxin made a slapping gesture to the soldier who was escorting him.

Seeing this, the soldier grinned, stretched out his hands and hit Li Fanjin hard several times from front to back.

His cheeks were so swollen that he couldn't shout anymore.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched his neck and said to the representatives of various countries: "Look, he will finally understand now - weak countries have no diplomacy. In the past, I always called you the great powers, but today I suddenly realized that I am the great power!"

Everyone: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin took his copy of the agreement and stuffed it into Lichang's arms: "Take it and tell Zaifeng not to lose it. It can be passed down when the dynasty changes in the future."

Li Chang: “…”

You don't cover it up now, right?
Zhao Chuanxin came to Terauchi Masayoshi again and slapped him on the cheek: "You bastard, remember, you slaughtered my people, and I will make you pay for it in the end!"

What is Terauchi Masayoshi's status?
He was a general in the Japanese Army.

In the future, he will become prime minister.

Being humiliated by Zhao Chuanxin like this, I was so angry that I almost died.

But he didn't dare to fight back, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Zhao Chuanxin, I'll give you the same words."

Zhao Chuanxin was filled with murderous intent: "Well, there will be a battle, and I will let you Japs know what cruelty is!"

Zhao Chuanxin took a step, covered eight meters in one stride, walked out of the courtyard in two steps, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He didn't go far, but looked at the terrain upstream of the Tumen River.

After everyone left, Terauchi Masatake found Frost von.

"Mr. Feng, can you give Zhao Chuanxin's Shenhuo Feiya gunpowder formula and the black bicycle to us in Japan?"

Other things don’t matter, the gunpowder formula and means of transportation of the Divine Fire Flying Crow are the top priorities.

"Well..."

Flos von looked embarrassed.

He secretly thought it was a pity that he didn't wait a few days before signing the contract. Otherwise, these treasures would be on sale and countries would surely flock to them.

When the time comes, I will raise the price and it will definitely be sold at a sky-high price.

Terauchi Masaki quickly said, "We are willing to pay 2 yen."

Frost Feng cursed in his heart: You bastard, you want to get the treasure with such a small amount of money? You can just dream on.

So he said with a resolute expression: "No, these belong to the Arms Limitation Committee."

Terauchi Masaki raised the price: "Fifty thousand yen, this is the upper limit I can decide."

Frost Feng said righteously: "No, you misunderstood me. I also have my bottom line."

"Then..." Terauchi Masaki asked, "What is Mr. Feng's bottom line?"

"..." Frost Feng, leaning on his walking stick, coughed, and looked down at his dusty leather shoes. "It's not easy to come here. The Far East is dilapidated, backward, and barbaric. It's a life-threatening situation. My bottom line is as difficult to reach as this trip."

Seeing that this guy was insatiable, Terauchi Masaki could only say with sincerity and full of emotion: "Wait for me, I will go back and discuss with the domestic telecommunications company. We are friends, right?"

What he meant was that it would be better not to contact delegations from other countries before I made an offer.

Frost von smiled and nodded: "Yes, we are friends."

Terauchi Masayoshi left, and the German representative came: "Mr. Feng, can you give Zhao Chuanxin's things to us Germans? You will gain the friendship of us Germans."

“German friendship must be precious, right?”

"Yes, German friendship, generally not less than 5 marks."

"I value German friendship, but I also have my ethics."

"How precious is Mr. Feng's integrity?"

Floss Feng smiled and said, "The Japanese just proposed to take 200,000 yen for Zhao Chuanxin's things, but I didn't agree."

"Let's go back and discuss it..."

Waves of people came.

What made Frost von feel strange was that only the Qing representative, Yingchang, did not come.

It is not surprising that they never pay attention to the latest technology and like to catch up with the powerful countries. They only dare to follow suit after others have tried it.

After all, when other countries began to pay attention to aircraft, the Qing Dynasty still did not take any action, which is a good example.

Japan loves to gamble.

That night, Japan found Frost von with a box containing 100,000 pounds of Scottish Bank notes.

Frost von gladly accepted it and happily handed over Zhao Chuanxin's personal weapons, gunpowder formula and the imitation of the third-generation Youlong to Terauchi Masayoshi.

Terauchi Masaki said: "Tomorrow I will send someone to pick up our 2,000 rifles and machine guns."

Flos von nodded in agreement.

As soon as Terauchi Masayoshi left, Frost von touched the suitcase with his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

"The Far East is still the best. Huining is my blessed land."

He placed the box with great care in a makeshift safe in the room and had guards guard it outside day and night.

At night, the wind and clouds were rising.

It was raining heavily outside.

Frost von was awakened by the howling wind.

He got up from the bed and went to check the safe first. The door was closed and the lock was still there. He breathed a sigh of relief.

He then looked towards the window, but was stunned to find that the two windows had disappeared.

His heart skipped a beat and he ignored the window and quickly went to the safe to check.

Make sure the lock is still in place.

"Huh..." He stroked his chest and let out a long sigh.

He took out the key with trembling hands and finally inserted it into the keyhole after several attempts.

"Huh? Why can't I get it in?"

He locked the safe himself, and the padlock has been hanging around his neck. How could it not work?
After trying several times without success, Frost von became confused and opened the door and asked the guard outside to find a hammer.

When the hammer was brought, he started knocking on the padlock in the room.

collapse……

The lock was broken.

The bag is still inside.

Frost von breathed a sigh of relief again.

He hurriedly touched his briefcase, which was bulging, which made him smile from the bottom of his heart.

Once again, I would like to thank Zhao Chuanxin, thank the ten countries for coming to support him, thank South Korea for providing the venue, thank the South Korean people for providing him with evidence at the cost of their lives, and thank the Japanese for their sacrifice and strong support.

But after opening the bag, Floss von's face quickly turned from rosy to gray, like a colorful mural that had been there for a thousand years and suddenly faded in the light: "Fuck it..."

There were actually piles of neatly cut straw paper inside!
The £10 banknotes issued by Scotland were replaced with fake ones.

What’s even more hateful is that the thief was kind enough to replace the padlock with one of similar style.

Frost von was hit so hard that he covered his chest, made a gurgling sound in his throat, and then fell to the ground.

The next day, the Japanese went to the north gate to get guns and found that two thousand Type 30 rifles, two Bao machine guns, and two Krupp small-caliber mountain cannons were all gone.

The Japanese imported the French Hotchkiss heavy machine gun and imitated it. Its appearance is the same as the Hotchkiss heavy machine gun, but the heat sink has been developed from five to seven, the tripod has been changed to a wheeled one, the feed plate is all metal, and it uses Type 30 rifle bullets.

The Japanese once bought Maxim rifles, which were later shipped to Taiwan to suppress local anti-Japanese armed forces.

As a result, the Wan-Wan area is mountainous, and it was not easy to replenish water in the Maxim tank, which was cold and caused acclimatization. So the tank had to be withdrawn from the field battlefield and used only for fortress defense.

A long time ago, Zhao Chuanxin seized a modified Maxim gun from the Japanese, which the Japanese called the Maxim machine gun.

Terauchi Masayoshi failed to find the weapons and ammunition that should have belonged to them, so he went to find Frost von who had gone back on his word.

As soon as I arrived at the hotel where Floss von was staying, I was told that the British commissioner to the Hague Arms Limitation Commission had suffered a sudden heart attack and it was unclear whether he could be saved.

Terauchi Masayoshi returned in disappointment.

Went to the researcher to check the progress.

The researcher pointed to the black bicycle and said, "General, I just stepped on it and pedaled the wheel. It is very heavy. When the wheel rotates, the light bulb above my head lights up. When I turn on this switch, a flame will spray out from the back. Based on the smell, I judged it to be gasoline. Its electric ignition device is very strange. But many structures are wrapped in metal, which is impossible to make with current science and technology. If you really want to study it, you must cut the metal that is wrapped in one piece."

Terauchi Masaki waved his hand and said, "We bought it for research and to improve the military strength of the Great Japanese Empire. If we can equip this kind of transportation on a large scale, then Zhao Chuanxin, the Qing Dynasty, or Tsarist Russia, our Great Japanese Empire will no longer have any rivals."

When the researcher finally cut the metal with great effort, he was dumbfounded.

They told Terauchi Masaki: "In addition to a simple motor, there is also a wind wheel that blows the gasoline out. Improper operation of the wind wheel may cause the gasoline tank to explode..."

Terauchi Masayoshi stumbled back, looking as pale as when Floss Feng threw the money: "Zhao Chuanxin, you liar, you shameless man, you shall not die well..."

……

Li Zaiming's temporary residence was blown up by a divine fire crow.

Not only was he not angry, but he was so excited that he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep at night.

The next day, he summoned Park Seung-ryul and said with great excitement, "The time has come. Both sides should withdraw their troops. From now on, the three places belong to the Self-Reliance Army!"
