mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 1068: Half pork, half poem, a battle with corpses all over the ground
The news was passed on to Aoki Nobuzumi by the staff of the 19th Division commander Tachibana Koichirō.

When the scheming Aoki Nobuzumi saw the news from the front line that Zhao Chuanxin was tearing up the bomber with his bare hands in the telegram, he couldn't help but feel powerless.

"If this fails, what other methods are there to kill Zhao Chuanxin?"

Dejected and angry, Tachibana Koichirō seeks advice from Aoki Nobuzumi on his next step.

Nobuzumi Aoki replied: Be vigilant and pray.

A call came from Tokyo, asking him whether the bombing of the Emperor had anything to do with Zhao Chuanxin.

The members of the Anti-Zhao Society were overjoyed when they saw that the Korean troops stationed in Korea and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Tokyo were all coming to seek the opinions of the Anti-Zhao Society.

“We are going to rise.”

"No one will ever dare to underestimate our Anti-Zhao Society again."

"It's a pity that Rensuke Isogai is not here, otherwise he would be very happy."

Aoki Nobuzumi replied to the Tokyo Ministry of Internal Affairs: The time does not match. When the Emperor was bombed, Zhao Chuanxin was fighting with the 73rd Regiment of the th Division and was unable to spare any time.

After replying to both telegrams, Aoki Nobuzumi picked up his already packed suitcase, left a letter, and left in a carriage.

The members of the Anti-Zhao Society were in high spirits when someone discovered the letter left by Aoki Nobuzumi.

When they opened it, they were dumbfounded.

"Aoki-kun has left."

"What do you mean?"

"He said that there was no way to save him and that it was meaningless to stay here. It was impossible to deal with Zhao Chuanxin by using conventional means to physically destroy him. He had to either wait for Zhao Chuanxin to die of old age or find another way. He was going to find a new method."

To put it bluntly: ran away.

The Tokyo Ministry of Internal Affairs is simply conducting a strict investigation.

But Tachibana Koichiro, who was in Korea, was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Pray? Pray for what?"

The staff officer said cautiously: "Perhaps, he asked us to pray that Zhao Chuanxin would not attack us..."

……

Historians say providing loans to merchants and manufacturers helped boost regional economies.

In Chungcheongbuk-do, a white wagtail catches small insects by the water, wagging its tail as it plows through the water on land plowed by bombs.

The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and the white wagtail flapped its wings in fright and flew away.

Du Lisan, Zhu Jianye and other main members of the Guanwai Chamber of Commerce passed by on horseback and headed towards Fengshan area.

"Boss Du, only after we sign an agreement with Japan and confirm that this land will be taken over, will the bank approve the loan for road construction." Ge Yunpeng said, pulling the reins.

Du Lisan took out the map and said, "The Japanese have voluntarily withdrawn. Maoshan and Huining are already in the hands of the Beishui Army. As long as we control the throats of these two roads leading to Qingjin Port, we can make the Japanese feel uneasy. If we can open up the Qingjin trade route, the Guanwai Chamber of Commerce will really gain a foothold here."

Zhu Jianye said: "It will take a lot of investment to build this road. It would be best if we could capture Qinghai and Tianjin at the same time. Otherwise, the Japanese could attack us at any time and make things difficult for them."

Ge Yunpeng smiled and rubbed his hands: "The Japanese are scared. I never expected that they would take the initiative to retreat and urgently retreat hundreds of miles."

Zhu Jianye said: "I received a telegram from Lugang Town. The insurance team took Huicheng and Houchang County, and the Japanese did not turn back."

Having said that, the smug look on Ge Yunpeng's face faded.

After all, the back-to-water army is still no match for the insurance team.

Here, we have to rely on Zhao Chuanxin's power to take over a few remote places.

For the insurance team, driving the Japanese soldiers across Xisai Peak was a piece of cake, and they did not rely on Zhao Chuanxin.

I heard that the Japanese were being held tightly under control.

In Ge Yunpeng's opinion, the Lugang Town Insurance Team also has two arms and two legs, so why are they more powerful?
The insurance team often clashed with the Japanese soldiers to hone their tactics, and the back-water army was equally good.

What exactly is wrong?
He didn't consider subjective initiative.

Treatment, honor, rank, and the belief in invincibility.

At this time, another five riders came from the north.

The crowd was not alert because there were only their own people in the north.

Sure enough, it was Zhao Chuanxin and Liu Ai who came.

The other three were Zhao Chuanxin’s two disciples and Li Shutong.

Li Shutong got off the horse and walked in a strange manner.

He started learning horse riding when he went to Lubin Prefecture. The insides of his legs were rubbed raw and he has not yet recovered.

With the intervention of Zhao Chuanxin, Li Shutong went to study in Japan, then crossed the ocean to the United States, went from Tianjin to Shanghai, and then to the important frontier city of Lubin Prefecture.

According to Li Shutong's personality, whenever he wanted to retreat, Zhao Chuanxin would satisfy him.

He taught in Lubin Prefecture for half a year. The northern students were honest and hardy, so they did not cause him any trouble.

Occasionally, I also help Zhao Chuanxin produce movie interludes and so on. I have money and free time, but after a long time, I still want to do other things.

So he went out under the pretext of looking for Yao Bing who had run away from home, and finally ran to Yanbian.

Yes, Yao Bing and his senior brother ran away from home without asking for their parents’ consent.

Yao Xingyuan learned that Zhao Chuanxin was very busy and never mentioned the matter. After all, he could roughly know where Yao Bing was through his network of connections.

Just hope the child is fine.

Benjamin Goldberg is a little flying gentleman. When he heard that Aries was killed, he rushed north from Shanghai without stopping, threatening to avenge Aries.

The three of them got together and found Liu Ai.

It happened that Zhao Chuanxin returned from Quetshalan.

Li Shutong dismounted in an awkward posture, but Yao Bing and Benjamin Goldberg were very skilled and pretended to be cool.

Liu Ai's posture was as awkward as ever.

Only Zhao Chuanxin, with his hands on the saddle, lifted his body one and a half meters from the horse's back and landed on the ground.

Benjamin Goldberg took a look and said: Okay, okay, Master, just do it this way, you will steal the limelight from your disciples.

Zhao Chuanxin saw Ge Yunpeng and his men coming to the place that was bombed that day and said, "Didn't I tell you not to take the initiative to attack?"

Ge Yunpeng quickly said: "It was the Japanese who took the initiative to withdraw. They withdrew all the way to Chongjin Port. It would be a waste if we don't occupy it."

Benjamin Goldberg hurriedly asked: "Master, do we still want to avenge Aries?"

Zhao Chuanxin rubbed his chin. "Revenge must be taken, but it must be done with a legitimate reason. Brigade Commander Ge, have Jin Wuzhi send a note to the Japanese headquarters in South Korea, demanding that they cede all the land from Huining to Chongjin to the northeast, as well as southern Sakhalin as an atonement."

Everyone gasped.

Ge Yunpeng shook his head: "Captain, Tachibana Koichiro will not agree. Even if he agrees, Japan will not agree."

"Just do it."

"Yes!"

He sent someone to do it.

Everyone looked at the mountains and water, as if they were on a picnic.

It was the summer solstice, but it was not hot in the valley.

There are birds singing and flowers blooming all around.

Yao Bing enjoyed using a rubber band to flick away the flies that bit his horses.

Zhao Chuanxin asked the soldiers to lead the horses, and he walked in front with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly a gadfly flew over, trying to find a suitable part of the body to bite him.

Everyone looked at Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly stretched out his hand, bent his fingers, listened to the sound and determined the location without even looking.

collapse.

The gadfly was flung away and hit the tree trunk before falling to the ground, its stomach burst and its intestines spilled out.

When they arrived at a village, the villagers looked at them in horror.

Zhao Chuanxin sighed: "They are so ugly."

"..."

Suddenly, he saw a young woman with a face as round as the moon and a bit of charm.

There's nothing wrong with her wearing a long skirt, but why is she exposing her breasts?
She was holding her baby and feeding him.

The clothes were definitely not lifted up for breastfeeding, but were exposed to begin with.

Others didn't take it seriously when they saw it.

Yao Bing grew very fast and was almost catching up with his senior brother.

Seeing this, Yao Bing quickly covered Benjamin Goldberg's eyes: "Brother, don't look at anything inappropriate."

"Let go, let me go. Don't look at what is inappropriate. Why don't you cover your eyes?"

When everyone saw Zhao Chuanxin staring at that place, they all blushed for him.

Zhu Jianye is the older one here, and he coughed several times to remind them.

Zhao Chuanxin came back to his senses: "Haha, it's not that Zhao is lustful. It's just that the flowers are in full bloom. If I don't take a few more glances, it will seem that I don't understand romance."

"..."

"It's gotten better over the years. In the past, all married women here dressed like this, and it became a fashion after more people wore it."

It seems that future Korean costume films should be more faithful to historical facts and will certainly be more popular.

Walk past this and you'll come to the river.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that the river water was clear and the fish were swimming in the shallows, so he watched for a while longer.

Li Shutong said with emotion: "It is also a beautiful place with green mountains and clear waters. I have some inspiration, but unfortunately I didn't bring paper and pen. Charcoal worker, you have many ideas, why not compose a song? Maybe it can be used in the next movie."

Everyone started to cheer and applaud.

It seemed as if Zhao Chuanxin was extraordinary as soon as he spoke.

Zhao Chuanxin has never known what stage fright is in his life.

He stretched out his hand: "Bring the piano."

There is a classical guitar in my hand.

It was the one I bought from the Spaniards in Hong Kong Island.

Glancing at Li Shutong, Zhao Chuanxin said with a hint of something else in mind: "Xi Shuang, I'll give this song to you."

Yao Bing and Benjamin Goldberg were simply overwhelmed with admiration for their master.

Every move is so cool.

I want to imitate, but I am always far behind.

Zhao Chuanxin plucked the strings of the zither with his fingers and spoke: "You and I are both mortals, born in the human world. Zhuo! We are busy all day long and have no time to rest. Since you are not an immortal, Zhuo, it is inevitable that you have some fucking distracting thoughts. Put morality on the sides and put the fucking word profit in the middle..."

At first, Li Shutong's eyes lit up, then Li Shutong: "..."

This song is clearly suitable for the following: The best is like water, Heaven rewards hard work, Virtue is in the air, The sky is vast, Strategize, Lean on the railing to watch the waves, Peace leads to far-reaching results, and Lonely Wolf...

But after Zhao Chuanxin's interpretation, it becomes another expression - Zhuo, I am now a greasy middle-aged man, so what if you want to do it...

Zhao Chuanxin scratched the strings of the zither with his fingernail - creak... After the song was finished, the only sound left in the whole venue was the sound of rushing water.

Everyone was stunned.

Li Shutong: "This..."

Zhao Chuanxin put away his zither: "Excuse me, excuse me. As a person, don't take yourself too seriously. Walk around more and see more. In the market, there is half pork and half poetry. The spring breeze and I are just passers-by, while you embrace the stars with autumn water."

Everyone applauded: "Good!"

Li Shutong, who had been struggling all his life, looked at Zhao Chuanxin with a complicated expression: "Tan Gong, you really have good intentions. Don't worry, I won't become a monk."

"Since you are here, I will let you see the cruelty of a battlefield with blood and flesh flying everywhere."

Tachibana Koichiro didn't keep Li Shutong waiting for too long.

When everyone returned, Jin Wuzhi brought a telegram from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in reply: This is too much and is absolutely impossible.

The next day, Zhao Chuanxin put on his tactical equipment and led his men into Chongjin Port.

Jin Wuzhi objected: "We are outnumbered and have few generals. If we take all the people away, we are afraid that the Japanese will take advantage of the situation and sneak in."

"If the Japanese invaders enter the village, you should retreat to the north bank of the bridge." Zhao Chuanxin didn't care: "It's only the Korean people in Huining who are suffering. They have suffered a lot, not just this round."

Zhao Chuanxin brought his apprentice and Li Shutong with him.

Tachibana Koichiro was shocked when he received the news: "What does he want to do? If he doesn't give it to me, he will plunder me?"

The staff officer thought: We are plundering, and he is plundering, so naturally whoever has the bigger fist will have the bigger territory.

Tachibana Koichirō made emergency arrangements and defended the situation strictly.

Li Shutong said nervously: "They opened fire..."

Yao Bing comforted him: "Teacher, don't panic. We are out of range. They fired just to warn us not to move forward."

This did not dispel Li Shutong's panic. He asked, "Then how exactly is your master going to get in? Is he going to use human lives to fill the gap?"

Yao Bing shook his head: "I don't know."

Benjamin Goldberg took out a gelatinous glass tube, poured the sticky fluid inside into a container, ignited it, and put the meat on a grill.

He was the first person in history to use petrol bomb fillings to barbecue.

He said: "I won't sacrifice my life. My master always uses wits to get things done. He will never trade his life for another's."

Sure enough, at night, there was a loud noise from the Japanese artillery position in Chongjin Port, and flames shot into the sky.

Zhao Chuanxin dropped a petrol bomb.

Ge Yunpeng gave the order to attack.

The 37mm trench infantry guns, 76mm light infantry guns and 105mm howitzers stolen from the Krupp military factory were fired at the Japanese positions free of charge.

The 74th Regiment of the th Division of the Japanese Army was stunned.

The commander asked: "Why do they have so many artillery pieces?"

The staff officer said with a pale face: "Captain, our artillery position is paralyzed. The Backwater Army has brought 30 light field artillery pieces with mules and horses, using cluster bombs. We can't hold on."

"Cluster bombs?" The commander sneered, "It seems they didn't bring high-explosive bombs. Let the soldiers enter the bunkers. We must hold on to Chongjin and wait for the support of the 75th Regiment."

After all, Chongjin is a strategic port. They had built a fortress a long time ago and recently constructed many temporary shelters.

Six o'clock in the morning on June 6th.

Zhao Chuanxin was cooking instant noodles, a whole pot, and beat 20 eggs into it.

Yao Bing said with a bitter face: "Master, I don't want to eat instant noodles."

Yao Bing's instant noodle business was taken away by his family, and he has been feeling resentful ever since.

Anyway, he had had enough of instant noodles.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at the pot and said, "Aren't there eggs and lettuce in it?"

"..." Yao Bing argued: "But eggs and lettuce don't fill you up."

Zhao Chuanxin took out two more yellow flour buns and said, "Use these to dip in the soup."

Benjamin Goldberg couldn't wait to serve himself a bowl of noodles: "Why are you so nosy?"

Li Shutong also hurriedly served himself some noodles.

Every second counts when eating on the battlefield.

Zhao Chuanxin ate three bowls of noodles and eight eggs.

He stood up, patted his butt, and went out to find Ge Yunpeng.

Ge Yunpeng, who was covered in dirt, said: "There is no movement from the enemy side. It seems that the cluster bombs are ineffective. It would be a waste of ammunition to fire again."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said, "It's okay. I've opened a convenient door at the Krupp Military Factory. I'll be back soon."

Every time Zhao Chuanxin went back to see his daughter, he would take time to go to Essen, Germany to get artillery and ammunition and store them in the underground fortress of Quetshalan.

Small gains bring joy, but large gains harm the body.

It was just a small fight, so even if Krupp noticed it, he could do nothing about it.

He went back and forth to fetch more than 40 boxes of shells: "Bomb them as much as you can!"

In Chongjin, the staff officer said to the commander of the 74th Regiment in a tearful voice: "They have started using high-explosive bombs!"

The fuse of a high-explosive bomb will only explode when it hits a hard object.

Fortress buildings were the first to be hit.

Its explosive force destroys all inanimate objects, and of course the shrapnel is also deadly to humans.

Because it has been raining recently, some high-explosive bombs fell on the muddy ground and did not explode. They were carried by the soldiers to be shown to the regiment commander.

The commander frowned: "There are letters on it. It's a shell produced by the Krupp military factory! Is Zhao Chuanxin serious about taking Chongjin at all costs?"

Krupp's products must be of high quality. Cannons are not made of steel or gunpowder, but of silver.

High-explosive bombs and cluster bombs were fired in turn. Although the 74th Regiment had not retreated yet, it had already deployed a retreat route to Ronan.

At noon, Zhao Chuanxin's stock was completely exhausted, so he gave the order: "The artillery will remain where it is, and the entire army will advance to Chongjin."

At 1:10 p.m., a platoon of reconnaissance soldiers encountered machine gunners from the Japanese bunker, resulting in more than ten casualties.

When Li Shutong saw the soldier whose arm was almost shot off, he felt his scalp tingling.

Casualties are inevitable on the battlefield, but seeing the tragic plight of one's own people still makes one feel heartbroken and terrified.

Zhao Chuanxin has already entered the state: "Call the people back first and wait for my signal."

He rode the third generation dragon and approached the bunker.

The Bao machine guns in the bunker spewed out flames, and the mud and water on the ground behind the third generation of Youlong were splashed, and each hit made a small hole.

The top of the third-generation Youlong's wing opens to reveal the reflector port of the cruise missile.

Whizzing……

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Both bunkers were completely destroyed.

The Japanese soldiers in the trenches began to tremble when they saw this.

bang bang bang...

The bullets hit the three generations of Youlong, and all of them were blocked by the soft gold shell.

The black puppet craftsman manipulated Maxim to fire.

Two Maxim guns fired at the trenches, forcing the Japanese army to be unable to raise their heads.

Zhao Chuanxin took off from the abandoned building destroyed by high-explosive bombs, with the side and tail wings of the third-generation Youlong fully extended and the Rainbow example's jet engine at full power.

Four bombs were accurately dropped into the trench.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The trench was a sea of ​​fire.

Zhao Chuanxin slid down more than fifty meters, collected the three generations of wandering dragons, took cover with the broken walls and put on the chaos armor.

He ran wildly while firing his Xingyue M1909 light machine gun.

The commander of the 74th Regiment looked through the telescope with bloodshot eyes.

"For the Empire, for the Emperor, I will die here today!"

He picked up his rifle and walked out of the command room with his staff.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the Xingyue-made flare and launched it into the air.

When Ge Yunpeng arrived with his troops, the remnants of the 74th Regiment of the Japanese Army launched a charge, just like when they fought against Tsarist Russia, they were fearless and ready to create a miracle at the cost of their lives.

Li Shutong's hair stood on end as he looked through the telescope: "They, they are not afraid of death..."

Yao Bing was holding a M1908 lever-action rifle and was about to charge with the navy, but Liu Ai quickly grabbed him and said, "Stop it. How am I going to explain to your master if anything happens to you?"

Yao Bing gritted his teeth, very unwilling.

Li Shutong stared at the battlefield, his heart wavering for a moment.

The Japanese soldiers were fearless and so were the Beidu Army.

The difference is that the Backwater Army was running and shooting at the same time, while the Japanese soldiers had already fixed their bayonets and were ready for close combat, but the distance in between needed to be filled with human lives.

Zhao Chuanxin, dressed in black and white armor, jumped seven or eight meters high among the broken walls and threw five Star-Moon M1908 grenades at the Japanese soldiers' camp.

After a series of explosions, Zhao Chuanxin landed on a commanding height, took out a bow and shot out the Chipin Arrow.

chi chi chi...

Li Shutong saw Japanese soldiers falling to the ground one after another. In just a few breaths, at least forty of them died.

Until the fuel of the Poverty Arrows was exhausted and recovered by the Order Rune Fragments, there were only more than 400 Japanese soldiers left, and they continued to charge with the regiment commander as the center.

At this time, Ge Yunpeng also ordered the bayonets to be installed, preparing to launch a charge after another round of shooting.

After several battles, Zhao Chuanxin's ammunition stock was almost gone.

He took out the Chunguan Sword, jumped down from the commanding heights and led the charge towards the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese troops were already at the end of their strength, and Zhao Chuanxin was caught in a dilemma. Li Shutong saw broken limbs and debris flying all over the sky through the telescope.

In a moment, Zhao Chuanxin arrived in front of the captain of the regiment.

The 74th Regiment commander roared, "For the Empire!"

Zhao Chuanxin: "It's your mother's next door!"

Zhao Chuanxin slashed straight down with his sword.

laugh……

The wing commander was split in two.

Ge Yunpeng also led his troops to the front, and at one encounter, all the Japanese troops in Qingjin were wiped out.

Li Shutong looked at the broken limbs and blood all over the ground. A gust of wind blew, filling the air with the smell of burning, blood and gunpowder, which almost made him vomit.
