mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 160

If it was a peaceful year, Zhao Chuanxin would never dare to train the team so recklessly.

But at this time, on the boundaries of the three eastern provinces, there are too many forces. The north is controlled by Russia, and the south is controlled by Japan. The Qing court is still the ruler in name, but it has no right to speak.

Not to mention Zhao Chuanxin's insurance team, even the larger ones on the mountain can reach hundreds of people after a few groups join together.

His 500 people are really nothing.Even if a set of establishments were created internally, the Qing court could do nothing to him.

Zhao Chuanxin even dared to say that even if Xu Shichang's No. [-] Chengxie wanted to wrestle with him at this time, he would not be afraid.He didn't believe that the Qing court could give him the pension he gave. His own side was not afraid of death, but the other party was very afraid of death.

Because several old people including Zhao Chuanxin and Shuangxi suffered some minor injuries, the insurance team stopped for a few days, and after the expansion of enrollment, it was crazy training.

……

Zhao Chuanxin is a lazy person.

His kind of laziness is the laziness of not doing business properly, not the laziness of action.

Now let him recuperate on the reclining chair, smelling the body odor of being unable to take a bath all day long, it is really too tortured.

"Girl, raise the picture frame higher."

Jiang Mingxin pouted.

When she was not in school, she was arranged to serve Zhao Chuanxin, and she had to act like a conscientious book boy.

Recently, I tried to draw portraits with short lines. Zhao Chuanxin has already practiced it well. I guess if there is a short video now, record a video of him painting, maybe it will be a small hit.

After finishing the last stroke, he nodded in satisfaction: "Girl, move the drawing board back, I want to take a look at the whole situation."

Jiang Mingxin obeyed obediently: "Daddy, can I go out to play?"

"Hey, you little girl, you don't know how to be blessed when you are in the blessing. There are many people who want to serve Da Da, but Da Da only loves you and let you come."

Jiang Mingxin curled his lips: "Grandma, the last time you asked me to do a down-to-earth job, you actually lied to me to sweep the floor. It takes you a long time to draw, and you have missed your homework. What kind of blessing is there?"

Cutting Soso took out a piece of ocean from his pocket, flicked his thumb, the ocean flashed across the air, and the sunlight outside the window reflected charming light on it.

Like a dog salivating on sausages, Jiang Mingxin's big black and white eyes follow the arc of the ocean.

At last,
He took Dayang in his hand, and a pleasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you Daddy! Sure enough, you know me."

"Actually, I can also help you with your homework."

"My mother won't let me disturb you. By the way, Da Da, some parents of female classmates in the class don't let them go to school. I lost a lot of playmates. Can you take care of me?"

Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart, among the people under my rule, are there any people who do not allow girls to go to school?

So his face became serious: "Go and call Uncle Li Guangzong."

Jiang Mingxin jumped away.

A big shot never disappoints.

"Sir, are you looking for me?" Li Guangzong is now an important figure in Lugang Town.

Between words and deeds, there are laws and majesties.

But in front of Zhao Chuanxin, he still called "Sir" honestly.

"Are there any families in town who don't want their girls to go to school?"

The weather was hot, Li Guangzong wiped off his sweat and said: "There is no way, the idea that a woman's lack of talent is virtue is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

After observing Zhao Chuanxin's face, Li Guangzong added another sentence: "Sir, it is best not to force girls to go to school, it may have counterproductive effects."

In this way, Zhao Chuanxin swallowed back the words he blurted out.

According to his thinking, he has already provided the opportunity to go to school for free, and it is really shameless for him not to let his child go to school.

"Is there anything you can do?"

"Learn from the newspapers outside and do more publicity."

Today's progressive newspapers are like dog's tail grass, as tenacious as a wildfire can't burn out, and the spring breeze blows again.

Chinese people have begun to awaken in terms of consciousness.

After sitting for a while, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly smiled: "Speaking of publicity, our Lugang town has attracted a lot of people because of the expansion of the insurance team this time. A town with so many people should have a publication of our own." .”

It is impossible for all the people to be soldiers, so the expansion of the insurance team must increase the number of grassroots people at the same time.

The advantage of the large size is that there are enough people to build houses, so that people will not be caught blind when they come, and work around like headless chickens like before.

Li Guangzong's eyes lit up: "Sir, shall we run a newspaper?"

"No, we do periodicals!"

The newspaper was a little too low, so I turned it over and over again, and I finished reading it in a blink of an eye.

In 1822, experiments with photoengraving began. In 1850, the French invented the photoplate of the copper-zinc plate.

Today, although the powder-free etching method has not yet appeared, the most advanced plate-making equipment has already taken shape.

The reason why the current newspapers are poor has something to do with money.

After all, even if the purpose of running a newspaper is not to make money, few people have the courage and strength to lose money all the time.

Immediately,

Zhao Chuanxin and Li Guangzong straightened out the schedule and details, and first planned the location of the publication, how to build a house, and how to contact the comprador to purchase the latest plate-making technology.

"Now that the war has settled down and the railway is open to traffic, we don't have to ride horses for ten and a half months like before."

Hovering on the edge of life and death for a long time, most of them are on horseback. Zhao Chuanxin's riding skills cannot be said to be superb, but can only be said to be unsolvable within a certain range.

But now he is really afraid of long-distance riding.

Not only tired, but also time-consuming.

Li Guangzong nodded: "This is not a problem, we have opened up the relationship along the way."

When the people in Lugang Town went out to contact and buy plate-making equipment, the newspapers from outside also came in.

The United States and Japan jointly exerted pressure to force the Qing court to hand over the culprit, Zhao Chuanxin.

As usual, Zhao Chuanxin lay down on the rocking chair and drank tea leisurely, and handed the newspaper to Jiang Mingxin casually: "Girl, put this on the bookshelf, this is the best proof that you have made great contributions to this era, and it will be handed down for generations of."

Jiang Mingxin seemed to understand but half understood: "Oh!"

In fact, the Qing court has a chance now that it is determined to take him.It's just a high price to pay.

Where is the end of the world, the end of the world will always belong to some poor people.

Zhao Chuanxin is not among them!
For example, Xu Shichang received an order from the Qing court to arrest Zhao Chuanxin, he sipped his tea with a normal face, and put the telegram aside: "Suppress it, ignore it.

Zhao Chuanxin is harmless to the country, and he is famous overseas.

Don't take this person! "

This rare iron-handed official in the Qing court is clear about many things.

Perhaps a Zhao Chuanxin is nothing special, but he cannot send a signal: he is afraid of the great powers!

This runs counter to his attitude towards the Japanese.

On the South Manchuria Railway, far away from Lugang Town, the Japanese troops stationed there, frantically testing the bottom line of Lugang Town.

From a distance, a group of people rode on horseback to watch. Those Japanese soldiers seemed to be facing a big enemy.

Telford had always wanted to join the insurance team, although he couldn't get what he wanted because of his age.But this time Zhao Zhongyi took him with him for the first time, it's great to see the world.

Defu imitated the people in the insurance team and held up the binoculars: "Uncle Zhao, the Japanese are really good at cooking and love to play. You can see how scared they are."

Zhao Zhongyi smiled indifferently like a general: "If you give them three points at this time, they will dare to open a dyeing workshop. Everyone obeys the order. Now retreat five miles to rest and attack tonight!"

Hearing this, Defu was full of joy.

In the past, Zhao Hongzhi was that silly snot-nosed kid, and Defu was able to pinch and count and give advice.Now, Zhao Hongzhi spends his time in school every day, wandering in the ocean of knowledge, but Defuzhi is in the insurance team, vowing to defend his family and the country.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, Zhao Zhongyi patted Defu on the shoulder: "This time I'm just showing you the world, after you go back, go to school and study hard, and then sign up when you are eighteen years old.

Your father took a new concubine and gave birth to a fat boy.

You are now eligible. "

When it comes to Jin Tai taking concubines, it can be regarded as a topic of conversation in Lugang Town.

In the past, Jin Tai smoked opium and ruined his family fortune.Zhao Chuanxin took the initiative to help him quit smoking. Defu, an underage boy, really took on the burden of the family at first.

Later, it was astonishing that Defu tried his best to persuade Jin Tai to take a concubine and have children, so that he could sign up for the insurance team in the future as he wished.

The insurance team does not accept only children.

Jin Tai listened to his son's persuasion to eat enough, and he really took a concubine and gave birth to another big fat boy.

Old Boy Mei's snot bubbles are about to burst.

Defu loaded the gun very skillfully: "Okay, Captain Zhao, let me kill a devil today to have a good time!"

Usually, he often went to Zhao Chuanxin's house to play with guns. Zhao Chuanxin didn't give him bullets, and he played with the rest casually. If it broke, he didn't need money.

"Okay, but you follow me closely and must obey orders."

There is no suspense in the battle.

The frightened Japanese soldiers retreated at the touch of a button, leaving behind seven corpses and hurried away.

In the dark night, Defu, who had no formal training, just had a good time shooting. The battle was too neat and neat, and he felt that it was over before he had time to perform.

"Hey, the little devil is too cowardly."

Zhao Zhongyi sent someone to "lick the bag", unload the bullet, click the empty hook trigger to unload, and then refill the bullet.

"The Japanese are afraid, they are afraid of endless entanglement. Look, this matter will soon come to fruition!"

　Be patient for a few days, I will give you a lot of food, thank you brothers for your support
