mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 557 Kill all those who block the way
In their eyes, Zhao Chuanxin was no longer that lazy man, he was simply a living hell.

Even if it was an enemy, the tragic situation made a group of villagers feel sorry for each other.

Zhao Chuanxin took off his mask, pointed at the Portuguese soldiers kneeling on the ground, and said, "Now, there is revenge."

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened, the hatred in their hearts prevailed, and they rushed forward to punch and kick, or poked with harpoons and bayonets.

The Portuguese soldiers who surrendered shouted: "You don't keep your promises, we have already surrendered, the International Convention of the Red Cross stipulates that you cannot massacre surrendered and wounded soldiers..."

Zhao Chuanxin spat: "Fuck you, I am not a soldier, and they are not soldiers. We are fighting against the invasion of brutal people. What kind of contracts are there? Let me continue to fight."

The soldier opened his mouth wide, speechless, and received four or five kicks on the face in an instant.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at a few villagers who hadn't stepped forward, and said angrily: "If you don't go to fight, is it because you don't have long arms or legs?"

Those few people glanced at Zhao Chuanxin, who was covered in blood all over his body in amazement.

It was all other people's blood, which dyed him into a gourd of blood.

A few people were too frightened to refute, and went up to punch and kick.

With this style of play, it didn't take long for those prisoners of war to lose their human form.

After Zhao Chuanxin saw that there were no Portuguese soldiers alive, he said to the villagers: "Collect their wealth and share it equally with you. Send two people to Zhuwan. There is a little old man's body by the sea. Bring it back and die here." People from all over the world will pay homage together, and use Portuguese heads as sacrifices."

At this time, the villagers were also afraid of Zhao Chuanxin, and dared not listen to what he said.

Someone hasten to do it.

Just as Zhao Chuanxin was about to leave, a snot-nosed baby rushed out.

His father scolded: "Didn't I tell you to hide, why did you come out?"

The snot-nosed baby ignored his father and yelled at Zhao Chuanxin, "Uncle, the Portuguese beat Hei Zai to death."

Zhao Chuanxin remembered the little soil bag under the tree and nodded: "Uncle asked Narosada to pay for Hei Zi's life."

Snot Baby's father asked in a low voice, "Who is Hei Zai?"

"Hei Zai is a black-backed ape."

Snot Baby's father: "..."

The new governor of Australia Island is worthless and has to pay for the monkey's life.

He asked again in a low voice: "Do you know what his full name is?"

The snot-nosed baby scratched his head: "I don't know, some people call him Mr. Zhao, some people call him the head of the house. By the way, a visitor said that he is the God of War."

Snot Baby's father was enlightened, stunned for two seconds, and suddenly shouted at Zhao Chuanxin's leaving back: "God of War, God of War, our militia will fight with you."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't want to bring a tow bottle.

What kind of militia has no fighting power at all.

But in the blink of an eye, Zhao Chuanxin thought of something. He grinned, turned back, and began to release the weapons for the search and suppression: "Oh, the so-called red star will accompany me to fight, and the hot blood will accompany me to fight. You are all good men. Then he went into battle with his gun, and followed me to kill the majesty of the Portuguese."

Some people were worried: "Mr. Zhao, what if the Portuguese increase their troops and come to the island to take revenge?"

"It's okay, believe me, after today, the Portuguese dare not retaliate, and they dare not send warships here again."

Things really developed as Zhao Chuanxin said.

……

Beijing.

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng took a newspaper to meet Cixi in a hurry.

He is very obedient, and Cixi welcomes him quite a bit.

"Lafayette, Zhao Chuanxin paid him, he doesn't talk about credibility..."

Cixi immediately had a bad feeling: "What outrageous things did this thief do?"

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng held up the newspaper: "He published it in the newspaper, but he didn't clarify it. Instead, he confirmed the fact that the court bribed him. The news spread from Hong Kong Island, and it was overwhelming."

Cixi's head was roaring, she just felt that the world was spinning, and Long Zhong's old body was a little unsteady.

It's over, the great powers are going to be angry.

The eunuch serving next to him was taken aback: "Quickly pass on to the imperial physician..."

Cixi calmed down and waved her hand: "Wait a minute, don't bother. Bohan, what did the newspaper say?"

Bohan is Aixinjueluo Zaifeng's character, he said: "This, Lafayette, every newspaper is different."

Originally, when reporting on a hot topic, the major newspapers were similar.Thanks to Zhao Chuanxin, many newspapers have now learned how to use gimmicks, and the focus of the reports is different.

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng said: "Tianjin Wei's "Ta Kung Pao" said so, saying—to call on Japan to send warships to China quickly..."

He purposely found this report and read it to Cixi, which might make Cixi feel more cheerful.

However, Cixi was dumbfounded when she heard it: "It's unreasonable. Isn't this "Ta Kung Pao" a traitor running dog? Otherwise, how can we expect Japan to invade the Qing Dynasty? Immediately seal this newspaper."

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng hurriedly said: "Lafayette, don't worry, "Ta Kung Pao" is ironic. Zhao Chuanxin claimed in his, uh, press conference, let everyone call on Japanese warships to come to China, and don't let him waste time I went to Japan to find them. Didn’t the Japanese threaten to bomb the coast of the Qing Dynasty? Now all the Portuguese warships have sunk, but Japan has only sunk one..."

Cixi's eyes widened, and there was such a showy operation?

Doesn't this initiate group ridicule?
She hurriedly asked, "How does the Japanese side respond?"

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng raised his chest and raised his head: "Japan sternly protested to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but did not dare to send warships. It is said that even the warships in Lushun Port were evacuated [-] to [-] miles away, ready to flee at any time, for fear that Zhao Chuanxin would Go back and chisel their warships outside the pass."

A room full of ministers looked at each other.

The development of things was unexpected, and it became as funny as the things that the Qing Dynasty did.

Cixi's eyes lit up: "So, this broom star actually did something good?"

"Congratulations to Lafayette, the dog bites the dog's mouth hair, this is my great blessing."

A group of sycophants began to clamor.

However, they were still too naive to think that Zhao Chuanxin was really on their side.

Is this really the case?
The calamity of the warships of Portugal and Japan was temporarily resolved, and Aixinjueluo Yikuang said: "Lafayette, the Governor of Singapore ignored our request, and the matter of Zhennanguan..."

Cixi narrowed her eyes, the good mood she had just had was gone, her old face was full of ferocity: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, all should be killed..."

……

Zhennanguan, Shuangxi and Wang Long sent the local people who participated in the uprising army back home.

But they didn't go.

Shuangxi always had a bad premonition. He and Wang Long set up a stove in the nearby mountains to avoid the Qing army's search and capture, while closely watching the development of the situation.

Murphy's Law, the more you fear, the more you get.

In the battle of Zhennanguan, as expected, Sun Gongwu, who had been defeated repeatedly, lost again.

As a result, the Qing court requested that the French side, which colonized Vietnam, extradite Sun Gongwu who was hiding in Vietnam back to China.

But Sun Gongwu was so smart that he fled long ago and went to Singapore.

Therefore, the Qing court called Singapore again, asking the governor of Singapore to expel Sun Gongwu or extradite him.

As a result, the Governor of Singapore didn't care about them at all.

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. How old are you?

The Qing court became angry from embarrassment, and conveyed its will layer by layer from top to bottom.

There is only one core: kill one to warn others!

Although the Qing court has abolished the law of punishing the nine clans, there are still some things they cannot tolerate, such as rebellion, such as repeated rebellion...

Zhang Mingqi, governor of Guangxi, has always been known for suppressing "civil uprisings" and resisting "rebels".

This time, he made another contribution in suppressing the rebels who suppressed Nanguan.

He called Long Jiguang, the admiral of Guangxi, and said: "The imperial court has a decree, and will never tolerate rebels."

Long Jiguang didn't quite understand: "Master Zhang, the person surnamed Sun has already fled to Singapore, and Huang Mingtang is missing. Who do we look for?"

Zhang Mingqi stroked his beard: "The real abominations are those who help the evildoers, and they are also the chief culprits. If Huang Mingtang can't catch them, can't he also catch those local people?"

Long Jiguang's face was slightly astonished.

Zhang Mingqi has no bottom line, and he still has some.

Seeing him muttering in a low voice, Zhang Mingqi sneered and said, "I will leave this matter to you."

Long Jiguang had no choice but to leave with cupped hands.

But he immediately called the chief soldier Lu Rongting, explained the matter, and said with a deep meaning: "I will leave this matter to you."

When suppressing the rebels, Lu Rongting was at both ends of the spectrum, so Long Jiguang naturally took notice.

The biggest winner of this Zhennan rebellion is Lu Rongting.

This guy was awarded the title of "Batulu" by the Qing court, and also received a bounty of 2 taels of silver. His position in Guangxi became more and more stable, which became the capital for him to become a great warlord of "King of Guangdong and Guangxi" in the future.

However, although he occasionally loses his mind, he is generally good to the people of Guangxi.On the other hand, Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Guangxi at this time, is an out-and-out scum, and will become the number one traitor in the future, and the most solid supporter of the Japanese invaders.

Lu Rongting pursed his lips, he was very reluctant to do this, but he had to obey the order, so he left.

Then he called Huang Futing, the head of the Zhennanguan base camp, and said, "I will leave this matter to you."

Good guy, nesting dolls.

Huang Futing had no one to apportion, so he could only lead people to capture the "rebel".

Besides, he didn't care, instead he thought it was an opportunity to curry favor with the Qing court, and he worked hard not only to arrest those who directly joined the rebel army, but even to catch those who just helped send guns, water and food.

Shuangxi and Wang Long, who hadn't left all this time, couldn't help being shocked when they heard the news.

Shuangxi said angrily: "I only thought that the Qing court would settle accounts after the fall, but I didn't expect them to be so cruel. No, I have to find a way to save these people."

Wang Longtian was not afraid of anything, and clamored, "Go, fuck it, let's rob the execution ground!"

Robbing the law field has always been a legendary thing, and it is often done in "Water Margin".

……

Although Zhao Chuanxin sent guns to the militia and gathered a lot of people around Luhuan to join the militia, he did not take them to Ao Island.

The three steamships could take them to the island, but there are forts all around Ao Island, and they may have been sunk and buried in the belly of the fish before they arrived.

He just arranged for the militia to deploy defenses in Zhuwan.

After making arrangements, he looked at his watch: "It's getting late, and you are here to guard against death, and you must not let any Portuguese soldiers go ashore."

After all, he jumped into the inner bay.

He lurked cautiously, bypassed the guard post and landed on the island where there was no one there. He put on the unremarkable padded robe again, hunched his back, and wore a warm hat that looked like a dog fur hat. He walked towards Shushan with his hands in his sleeves. go.

He found Li Zhitao and said, "Gather the sect's men quickly, the time has come to counterattack Portugal!"

Li Zhitao is well aware of the master's ability, without any hesitation: "Decree."

On Ao Island, the adjudication team and the miscellaneous Xuantian Sect had less than 50 people combined.

But the combat effectiveness of these 50 people is much stronger than that of the militia. After all, they have trained with live ammunition and fought with Zhao Chuanxin.

The Australian Governor's Mansion is on Nanwan Road, adjacent to the Inner Harbor. The island is not big, and Shushan is not far from there.

Zhao Chuanxin led the crowd through the residents' rooms and drove straight in.

It's just that when they passed Fengshuntang Street in the Portuguese settlement, someone jumped out and blocked their way: "Who are you? Why are you gathering people to make trouble?"

Fengshuntang Street is named after the Catholic Church Fengshuntang.

Foreigners are very sensitive. It may not be a problem for Chinese who come and go infrequently to break into their residences, but they are immediately alert when so many people come.

Not only did they come forward to stop them, but many even took out their shotguns, as if they were eager to defend their homes.

Even though everyone on the adjudication team was carrying rifles, these Portuguese were used to domineering, and they were not afraid at all.

They didn't think these Chinese dared to shoot.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't stop, and waved his hand: "Those who block the way, kill them all!"
