mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 552

Such a thing as being published in the newspaper was not worth mentioning to Li Guangzong at that time.

He found Toad Boy and asked him to let the word out: "Tell the reporter that our head is going to make a speech in the newspaper, and those who are interested will come to the headquarters for interviews after noon."

Toad Boy adjusted his glasses and asked politely, "Then which one should I choose?"

Li Guangzong said lightly: "It's so stupid, you are a child, why do you still have to choose?"

"Oh... I understand, all of them are coming, right?"

……

Australia Island.

The new governor Rosada has taken office.

The new official took office three times, and he wanted to make some political achievements, and it took only two days to get familiar with the various official duties at the Yamen Gate.

Rosada is 42 years old, not tall, and looks like a very deep man.

He followed the previous governor's adjutant, and the two were looking at the map of Australia Island at this time.

Luo Shada pointed to Jiu'ao Mountain and said: "Since Zhao Chuanxin said that it was Cixi who ordered him to scuttle our warship, the ship has been destroyed irreparably. First, we demand compensation for the loss. , Luhuan, Xiaoqin Island, Jiu'ao Mountain and the nearby sea area are all occupied, and they can only swallow Coptis chinensis dumbly if they think about it."

This is indeed an appropriate time, but the adjutant stammered and said: "Governor, Zhao Chuanxin has clearly said that we are not allowed to cross the line. This person is not easy to mess with."

Rosada smiled: "Do you know how the island of Australia came into the hands of our Portugal? The relationship between people and countries is complicated. You need to be more courageous. No matter how powerful Zhao Chuanxin is, it is impossible for him to dare Facing our army of thousands of men."

The adjutant wanted to say something, but seeing Luo Shada's determined expression, he could only ask: "Then when shall we start? I suggest that it is better to start after the turmoil subsides and Zhao Chuanxin leaves."

Losada shook his head: "By then, the opportunity has already passed, it's today!"

The adjutant's mouth was open, and he asked, "Where do we start?"

Luo Shada pointed to Jiu'ao Mountain: "From far to near, we will start here. Take the surveyors and soldiers, and you also have a shotgun. I heard that there are many wild animals on the island. I just like it very much. hunt."

At the foot of Jiu'ao Mountain.

A group of snot-nosed babies came to the woods again, tempting the black-backed ape on the tree with food.

It may be that girls are more careful and can please the black-backed ape. Xian Yuqing has the best relationship with the black-backed ape who took a photo with her before.

At this moment, there was not just one black-ridged ape on the tree, there were seven or eight of them.

Xian Yuqing was reading under a tree, and the black-backed ape was behind her helping her catch lice.

"Xian Yuqing, let him play with me for a while."

Xian Yuqing didn't raise her head: "No."

"Who cares, when I subdue this one, let it fight yours."

At this moment, all the black-backed apes suddenly became uneasy.

All the black-backed apes suddenly climbed up the tree.

The snot-nosed babies looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

People's hearing is not as good as that of animals, and it took a while for them to hear the rumble of hooves.

A group of Portuguese knights came from a distance, and the dust was flying.

A snot-nosed child stared blankly on the road. He was crawling and rolling here, his clothes were dirty, and there were a few mud marks on his dark face.

When a Portuguese soldier on foot approached, he pushed Snot Baby: "Dirty Chinese, get out of here."

Snot Boy staggered and fell, but he was very solid, got up again in a jerk, pointed at the Portuguese soldiers and said, "If my uncle is here, he will kill you."

Xian Yuqing was able to understand the weight, she dragged the snot baby behind her to protect her, and said crisply: "You are an elder, how can you be as knowledgeable as a child?"

The Portuguese soldier snorted disdainfully: "Your uncle? If he is here, I can knock out all his teeth with one punch."

The snot-nosed child behind Xian Yuqing became angry: "My uncle can knock out your teeth with one finger."

At this time, one person stood out from the back team.

This man was also on a horse, and he looked at a group of snot-nosed babies.

The group of snot-nosed children became familiar with the black-backed ape, and the black-backed ape realized that the children who brought them food were being bullied, so they picked a tree seed and threw it down, hitting Losada on the forehead.

Rosada looked up, took the shotgun from behind with no expression on his face, pulled the trigger and aimed at the tree.

The monkeys didn't know the danger at all, and they grinned and grimaced downward.

Xian Yuqing was horrified, and hurriedly said: "Don't shoot Hei Zai!"

Rosada glanced at her, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she suddenly raised her gun.

boom!
The black-backed ape named Hei Zai by Xian Yuqing fell in response.

Hei Zai looked pained and dazed, and the rest of the monkeys scattered in fright.

Xian Yuqing hurried over to check, and seeing that Hei Zai was dying, he stretched out his paw and touched her arm, as if to comfort her.

Xian Yuqing's tears couldn't be stopped immediately, they flowed rushingly.

"Heizi, my father is good at medicine. I'll let him save you, hold on..."

Hei Zi tilted his head and died.

The adjutant was unmoved. A large number of comrades died in the war. How could he be moved by a monkey?
He also asked, "Governor, do you want to take the prey with you?"

Losada smiled and shook his head: "Do you think I am those dirty and savage black people in Africa? Monkeys can't eat them when they take them home."

"The Governor said so."

A group of people stopped staying and went up the mountain.

A group of snot-nosed babies are sad and angry.

After they walked away, someone said angrily: "Go, go find uncle!"

"Uncle is not here, I went to his old house in the morning."

"Where's that uncle who likes to talk nonsense?"

"He's still here."

"Then go find him."

……

Hong Kong Island, in the afternoon, Xuantianzong Headquarters in Shek O Peninsula.

A group of reporters came after hearing the news, and all newspapers, large and small, were not absent.

Toad Boy even prepared a banner. According to what Li Guangzong said, the name of this press conference is called a press conference.

The headquarters of Xuantianzong was built in a very grand style. The newspaper reporters who came here for the first time were like grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around curiously.

Even the marble steps have to touch the texture, and I am amazed.

"How much money does this cost, Xuantianzong is really rich."

"See the rows of electric lights? The Governor's Mansion doesn't dare to be so extravagant."

Entering the venue, the reporter found that there was a long table and the chairs were all leather with exquisite patterns.

There is tea and refreshments on the table.

"Press conference? That's a good name."

The people are seated.

Zhao Chuanxin was wearing his fairy-like "head costume", with fluttering cyan robes.

He came with Shi Shi with his hands behind his back, his long hair was loosely loose, and he looked like a fairy.

Hu Xiaoyun, a reporter from "Furen Wenshe" asked others in a low voice, "Is this the famous God of War Zhao Chuanxin?"

"Yes, it should be him."

"Looking thin and tall, doesn't he look like a martial artist?"

"Then I don't know."

Zhao Chuanxin came to the main seat, threw down his robe and sat down.

He said, "I'm Zhao Chuanxin."

Just one sentence caused a small commotion.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I asked everyone to come here today because of something that Zhao did on Australia Island last night. The origin of the incident was that the Japanese Erchen Maru was smuggling arms and was intercepted by the Guangdong Navy of the Qing court. Japan Bite back against Portugal and ask the Guangdong Navy to fire cannons to apologize, these things must have been heard by everyone..."

Not only have I heard about it, but Zhao Chuanxin pierced through a warship, slapped Japanese Minister Lin Quanzhu, and angrily cut Portuguese Minister Bai Lang's ancient nose.

He also relied on his influence to get overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia to form a group and boycott Japanese products.

The losses this has brought to the Japanese business community can be said to be shocking.

Moreover, the resistance seems to intensify indefinitely.

Among these people, the one who was particularly excited was Hu Xiaoyun, a reporter from the "Furen Wenshe Journal".

Because behind this newspaper, it is inseparable from Sun Gongwu. It claims to be a patriotic new school group and has always been at odds with the Qing court.

Zhao Chuanxin continued: "Zhao blocked the firing of cannons to apologize, and Portugal and Japan jointly put pressure on the Qing court, threatening to bombard the coastal areas of our country. Empress Dowager Cixi was terrified, so she paid me to continue digging through Japan. With the Portuguese gunboats that stay off the coast..."

At first Li Guangzong thought that Zhao Chuanxin wanted to clarify in the newspaper.

In the end, this is not a clarification, sir, this is clearly a real blow to Cixi.

Hu Xiaoyun's eyes lit up instantly.

He said: "Then Mr. Zhao must have refused verbally. How can Cixi be judged by money for protecting the family and patriotism?"

Zhao Chuanxin spat: "Hey, do you have any fucking brains? Why should I not want money from that old thing Cixi? Not only do I want it, but I think it's too little. When she pays the big powers, how willing is she?" . Give me only twenty thousand francs!"

At this moment, the temperament of immortality is gone.

Hu Xiaoyun was dumbfounded.

A group of reporters was in an uproar.

Hu Xiaoyun: "This, this, isn't this a deal?"

In his opinion, for a person like Zhao Chuanxin to resist the oppression of the great powers, this matter should be pure.

"Damn Zhi Zhang, this is a fake reporter, if you ask such a stupid question again, you will be thrown out."

Li Guangzong: "..."

Hu Xiaoyun: "..."

The other reporters were secretly happy.

But Zhao Chuanxin's uprightness made everyone look at him with admiration.

Generally, no one would bring this kind of black-box operation to the table, but Zhao Chuanxin dared to.

Zhao Chuanxin continued: "I asked you to come here today to tell you this matter, the money was paid by Cixi, and the boat was scuttled by Zhao.

Another thing, the Japanese also threatened to bombard the coastal areas.

However, I did not see their ships.

If anyone here is familiar with the high-level Japanese, please inform the Japanese side and let them send ships over as soon as possible.

I, Zhao Chuanxin, took the money and really wanted to do something. "

The reporter roared with laughter.

Someone asked: "Master Zhao, does the boycott of Japanese goods have anything to do with you? Everyone guesses that you planned it all."

Zhao Chuanxin slapped the table: "Attention, this is a spontaneous behavior of our people, which represents the awakening of national consciousness and a signal that we will no longer be slaughtered by foreign powers."

There was even a Japanese reporter who said without shame: "Mr. Zhao, don't you think this is an unreasonable behavior? Why does the conflict of interests between the two countries involve Japanese businessmen?"

Zhao Chuanxin smashed the table loudly, turned his head and said viciously to Toad Boy who was acting as the clerk: "I have emphasized it ten thousand times, we must hang a sign at the gate of Xuantianzong - Japanese and dogs are not allowed!" Enter. If you don’t remember, I will break your leg next time!”

Toad Boy wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Master, I remember."

The Japanese reporter's face turned red: "..."

　Hurry up
