mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 569 The Evil Way Down from Kunlun Mountain
In the pre-Qin period, Fangcheng belonged to the land of Baiyue, and the people here were still living very primitively by slash-and-burn farming.During the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang pacified Baiyue and unified Lingnan, and this place was included in the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the Central Plains culture was finally spread.

There is a saying that during the Han Dynasty, General Fubo Ma Yuan put down the "Second Expedition Rebellion" and left a group of troops in the area, which were called "Maliu people" at that time.Some of these Central Plains people merged with the local Luoyue people to become the Zhuang people of later generations, and the rest were local Han people.

Time passed, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, France invaded and occupied Vietnam, and used it as a springboard to continuously harass the Dongxing and Dongzhong borders.

Fangcheng has a special geographical location, that is, it is close to the sideline and near the sea, which is the most important thing.

When it comes to Fangcheng, we have to mention the original Black Banner Army.

In the 50s, there were frequent civil upheavals in the territory of the Qing Dynasty. The Taiping Army was the most famous. The Black Banner Army led by Liu Yongfu was also one of them. Most of its members were poor local people suffering from hunger and cold.

After the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing court gradually restored order in Fangcheng and other places, and Liu Yongfu was forced to lead his troops to flee to northern Vietnam.

There are more than 2000 "green forest heroes" who have taken root on the border of Vietnam. Because they use black flags, the Vietnamese people call them the Black Flag Army, and they dare not provoke this army from the "celestial dynasty".

The Black Banner Army not only defeated the Qing army, but also repelled the French army on the Vietnamese border.

But this is also true. The Black Banner Army was seriously overestimated. Vietnam was invaded by France and asked for help from the Qing court. The Qing court felt that Liu Yongfu and the Black Banner Army were the nemesis of France. Liu Yongfu resisted the French army.

Then it failed unexpectedly.

Liu Yongfu was later recalled to China, and served as the commander-in-chief of Nan'ao and Shimu for nearly ten years.

A group of veterans will die and leave.

During the Sino-Japanese War in 1894, the Qing army was defeated by land and water, and the bay was isolated. The Qing government asked Liu Yongfu to take the last remaining black flag army to garrison in the bay.

This is the strategy of the Qing government to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it exhausted this "heretic" army, and on the other hand, it also wanted to save Wanwan.

In 1895, Li Hongzhang signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" with Japan, and the bay was cut off.

At that time, the people of Wanwan swore to the death that they would not leave the motherland.

Liu Yongfu was favored by the people of Wanwan, and led all the soldiers and people to defend the country.

Later, Japan continued to increase its troops, and the gentlemen of Wanwan became the president seal, wanting to let Liu Yongfu take over.But Liu Yongfu firmly refused, saying: "There is nothing you can do about this mere seal."

He persisted in Wanwan to the end. The Japanese army added [-] troops and continued to erode. Under the circumstances of lack of soldiers and food and instability of people's hearts, Liu Yongfu persisted until the final battle, and finally lost. After being defeated, he fled back to the mainland.

Liu Yongfu has undoubtedly become the pride of the people of Fangcheng.

But at this time, Fangcheng has become a place where fish and dragons are mixed.

Sun Gongwu once sent people here to rebel, the French have been making plans here, and the bustling port has ushered in spies from various countries...

Zhao Chuanxin brought his apprentices to Fangcheng Port. The boatman looked curiously at the two people and a dog stepping on a wooden board, wondering where their motivation came from.

Zhao Chuanxin was wearing a cotton robe stained with white salt, and he was wearing a bamboo hat. Benjamin Goldberg was dressed in the same outfit as him, with their hands in the sleeves. Except for their heads held high and their backs straight, they were very similar to him. The people on the shore looked no different.

Zhao Chuanxin waved to the boatman: "Hello, fellow."

The boatman looked at it stupidly, but did not respond.

Benjamin Goldberg said: "Master, they are not as enthusiastic as us outsiders."

"Fuck, it's as if you know what people outside the customs are like."

But what the apprentice said was right, even in the late Qing Dynasty, many people were insensitive, but the enthusiasm of the people outside the pass was more or less stronger than those in the south. This may be due to the geographical location.

The two landed, and Zhao Chuanxin put away the Araya board.

Benjamin Goldberg pointed to his shoes and said, "Master, it hurts when your shoes are wet."

Zhao Chuanxin flicked his fingers.

Benjamin Goldberg's two shoes made a sound like pulling a bowstring, "hum", and the water vapor disappeared.

Benjamin Goldberg blinked: This spell is awesome.

The two were walking in the port, and a buffalo was grazing next to it. The cowherd boy was wearing a patched wide-sleeved short jacket, with a sallow face, chewing a straw stick in his mouth, looking down and looking up curiously at Benjamin, who was about the same age as him Goldberg.

Benjamin Goldberg took out a calcium milk biscuit and handed it over: "Hello."

The cowherd boy not only didn't answer, but also took a step back vigilantly.

Zhao Chuanxin slapped his apprentice on the back of the head: "There is nothing to show courteousness to, either rape or steal, remember not to give alms indiscriminately, people are just poor, not beggars."

"Oh..." Benjamin Goldberg was speechless.

The buffalo and the cowherd boy may be just a scene in Benjamin Goldberg's travels, but he and Zhao Chuanxin are not just two passers-by in the eyes of the cowherd boy?
Everything is fleeting.

"It looks delicious, Shanzi, there is no way to trick me!" When the two walked away, the cowherd boy swallowed and cursed.

Benjamin Goldberg in front asked, "Master, where are we going now?"

"I don't know either." Zhao Chuanxin had no choice but to say, "I'll ask a fellow villager for my teacher."

Benjamin Goldberg: "…"

Zhao Chuanxin found a local man who was carrying a burden and wrapped in a turban, and asked, "My fellow, I want to ask you something. Recently, the imperial court is going to deal with a group of rebellious parties. Where are they?"

The man with a furrowed face muttered a few words anxiously and quickly.

Zhao Chuanxin turned his head: "Can you understand?"

Benjamin Goldberg shook his head: "It's a bit like Cantonese, but I can't understand it."

It should be Hakka.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and said, "The imperial court."

Then he stretched out his hand like a knife and slashed towards his neck.

The man rolled his eyes, said a few words in a fierce tone, then spit, and left with his burden.

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

At this time, a wretched middle-aged man wearing a melon skin hat and small round crystal glasses from a booth next to him said, "You two stay away, my humble Zhao Yixian can understand yin and yang, why don't you ask me if you have any questions?"

Zhao Chuanxin turned his head to look at it, hung a banner in front of the stall, and wrote: Xiangming Guachang.

A piece of sackcloth was spread on the table, and it was written: Time is the real spirit.

In addition, there was a book, a teacup and several bones of unknown animals on the table.

Benjamin Goldberg saw this for the first time and was curious: "Master, he has the same surname as you, what does this do?"

He can recognize every word, and when they are grouped together, his eyes will be darkened.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled, and never evaded the Lord when he said bad things: "This is a delusion."

When Zhao Yixian heard the words, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Why did you say that? Is it really unreasonable?"

Zhao Chuanxin held his thumb with his middle finger, and flicked a corner of Xiaoyang onto the table: "Stop talking nonsense, let me ask you, where is the imperial court going to kill the people in Zhennanguan?"

Zhao Yixian rolled his eyes, and began to press the gossip in his palm with his thumb, shaking his head and shaking his head: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed..."

Zhao Chuanxin stepped forward and slammed the table.

Splash of tea soup in a tea bowl on the table.

Miraculously, the splashed tea hangs in the air without falling.

Zhao Chuanxin said viciously: "My surname is also Zhao, and I am an evil person who came down from Kunlun Mountain.

Killing people is a common practice, and setting fire is even more trivial. If you play tricks and avoid answering, I will use your life to make alchemy. "

Zhao Yixian pissed in fright: "What kind of spell is this? It's so terrifying? I said, I said it all. There were people in Zhennanguan who made a rebellion, and the rebellious party left calmly. The imperial court was ashamed and sent Zhennanguan to lead Huang Futing around Captured the gangsters, originally intended to execute them on the spot, but there were thieves who sabotaged them, Huang Futing led people to escort the prisoners to Qinzhou, and decided to carry out the punishment at noon tomorrow.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand, and the tea in the air gathered into a ball and slowly fell back into the cup.

Zhao Yixian's eyes straightened.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "This news is worth a dime, Zhao is innocent, so you take it."

Zhao Yixian hurriedly sneered: "How dare you take Godzhao's money."

Zhao Chuanxin put his hands behind his back and was about to leave.

Zhao Yixian hurriedly got up: "Stop, Zhao Shenxian stay, what do you think about my aptitude? Can I practice the art of Kunlun Mountain?"

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "You can't do it. You are so hungry that your neck is like a hemp stick, your fingers are like cigarettes, your old eyes are dim, and your limbs are not working hard. This life is destined to miss the magic."

Zhao Yixian did not give up: "Shenxian Zhao, the two of you went to Qinzhou, the place of life is not bad, but you are traveling all over the world, and you are familiar with the folk customs of various places, why don't you let me lead the way."

After playing tricks for half his life, Li Gui met Li Kui today, and Zhao Yixian didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

If you learn a little bit, you will get twice the result with half the effort in the future.

Zhao Chuanxin really needs this person to lead the party.

Just as he was about to speak, a few black wild dogs came in front of him, barking wildly and running, salivating from the corners of their mouths, baring their teeth, looking extremely ferocious.

Zhao Yixian was taken aback: "The wild dogs in Hululing have gone down the mountain again."

Zhao Chuanxin was unmoved, and when the leading black wild dog got close, he wanted to bite the calm rice beside Zhao Chuanxin...

Phoenix Ring - Boom!

The wild dog with dark and shiny hair was pressed against the ground by the airflow, and it flew back six or seven meters away after rubbing against the ground.

Another wild dog slammed on the brakes, but it was too late.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his leg and performed a miracle vigorously. He kicked the wild dog in the chest, and even kicked the dog weighing more than 20 kilograms to a height of two meters.

After landing, he only breathed out but not breathed in, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that he could not survive.

The remaining wild dogs whimpered, and ran away without looking back, led by the leading black wild dog.

Zhao Yixian's eyelids twitched and his pupils trembled.

It really is evil.

He really is proficient in all kinds of spells.

He just raised his hand, and the leading wild dog flew out backwards, it was amazing.

Could it be the flying sword cast in secret?No, Ruofeijian's wild dog has already been dismembered.

Zhao Yixian's eyes lit up, he made up his mind, and said, "Shenxian Zhao, if my expectations are correct, then Huang Futing must have intensified his investigation in Qinzhou, trying to get rid of all the thieves hiding in secret. The people don’t fight with the officials, and it’s best to keep a low profile when we’re on the rivers and lakes. Please come with me, buy a few outfits and go to Qinzhou before it’s too late.”

　I'm coming.Sorry, I've been playing too crazy these two days, and it will be back to normal starting tomorrow.
