Not surprisingly, when Shopkeeper Tian's uncle and nephew saw Liu Sheng, they were first shocked by his big body. However, what Liu Sheng said next stunned them.
Liu Sheng meant that Kyaktu would be the territory of Beihai Town from now on, and then briefly talked about how the Beihai Navy defeated the Rakshasa invasion. To promote military power, this is what it should be.
"...As a Chinese, I also hope that everyone can exchange opinions, but the problem is," Liu Sheng shrugged and continued: "The dog emperor in the capital does not agree."
Shopkeeper Tian wiped his cold sweat and asked hesitantly after a long time: "Then, what about the Russians..."
"Russians? The Russians will all be driven away in the future, and there will only be Chinese here. Just follow my instructions and go back and talk to the man named Wu."
When Shopkeeper Tian bowed and was about to turn around and leave, Liu Sheng stopped him and said: "Let the Qing soldiers in the trading city be more honest. If you dare to stir up trouble, I will blow up the trading city!"
Shopkeeper Tian was frightened and hurriedly bowed and said: "Don't dare! I will definitely bring the words to you."
When the uncle and nephew returned to the south bank of the river and reported the situation to Wu Siguan and Xie Ling of the Lifan Academy, the two Manchu officials were as anxious as if they were in a house.
It seems that this Secretary Wu is quite unlucky. In the past, others could make a lot of money when they came to the trading city. However, since he took office, trade between the two countries has been suspended, but he has paid an indispensable tribute to He Shen. . At present, the trading city relies on transactions with the surrounding Mongolian ministries to make a living. This time, Wai Ren really suffered a big loss.
Not to mention how the two officials responded, as soon as Shopkeeper Tian and his nephew left the yamen, a group of Shanxi businessmen surrounded them.
"Lao Tian, tell me acupoints, what do you mean?"
"Just Si, can we still do business with Rakshasa in the future?"
"..."
After a group of people returned to the small shop of "Meiyu Gongji", Tian Tongzhou sighed and said: "Oh! Don't even think about it, the Si Ya Qun Iize (a group of rebels) coming from the opposite side. Rakshasa was captured by them After killing all the evil spirits, Yahou may not be able to sell goods to Rakshasa again."
"What the hell?!"
"What?"
The shopkeepers of more than twenty shops looked at each other in disbelief, saying that this gang of rebels was too ferocious. Not only were they causing trouble in the Northeast, but now they even occupied the territory of the Rakshasa people.
"I also met the big leader of Iizawa, Renjia Point (people say). If you want to do business tomorrow, you have to go to Irkutsk!"
When everyone hears this, isn’t this nonsense? Can the imperial court communicate with the rebels? It seems that in the future, this east entrance will only be able to do business with the Mongols. The shopkeepers of each shop complained and hurried back to write letters so that they could report the news to Culun's semicolon and Zhangjiakou's main office.
This group of Shanxi business shopkeepers and guys didn't know that the "bad guy" surnamed Zhao across the street had dug a big hole, and there would be more storms waiting for them later.
One day in early October, Zhao Xin quietly returned to Beihai Town. If he doesn't come back, the Shen family will be anxious. However, the first person to notice Zhao Xin's return was not a human at all, but the Tabby Cat Duofu.
It is said that since King Duofu settled down with A Miao in the Shen family, his living conditions are very good. His daily food is either beef, mutton or various kinds of dried fish. The Shen family's old servant Ah Si also asked the carpenter in the carpentry factory to provide Duofu with food. I built a big house, which is covered with plush animal skins. It will be as comfortable as you want.
Later, in order to ensure that the eldest son Duofu would continue to have grandchildren, Zhao Xin brought a few more cats over, so Duofu lived a shameless life with a black and white female cat, and now she has given birth to several litters. Kitten.
When A Miao got up to feed Duofu in the morning, our King Duofu lazily walked out of his house, meowed twice at A Miao, and then started to rub up and down on A Miao's feet.
Halfway through breakfast, Duofu suddenly stopped eating. His eyes suddenly opened wide quickly, and then slowly closed again. Immediately afterwards, it turned around and ran out of the yard, refusing to come back no matter how much A Miao screamed.
Having raised Duofu for so long, A Miao knows it very well. Although everyone is very kind to Duofu, except for a limited number of people, it has always been indifferent.
There are only a few of them, Zhao Xin, A Miao, Shen Xuan, Xu Shounan, and Shen Xuan's sister Ayu, and the others are out of luck.
So when A Miao put on her coat and chased her out of the yard, she saw a familiar figure before she had run very far. Duofu was lying on the ground, showing off her fluffy white belly and acting coquettishly.
"Ah~~~~!" The little girl immediately let out a scream of joy. She rushed to Zhao Xin in three steps and two steps, and jumped into his arms, almost bringing Zhao Xin with her. Staggered.
"Good guy, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I'm sinking again."
After a while, Zhao Xin heard a familiar voice whispering softly in the Shen family's yard: "A Miao, what's wrong with you so early in the morning?"
However, when the figure walked out of the courtyard and saw Zhao Xin with A Miao hanging on his body, he also yelled, and then covered his mouth with his hand, and his pair of eyes that looked like autumn water suddenly became watery. .
We haven’t seen each other for several months. After countless days and nights of waiting, Shen Xuan no longer cared about being reserved. She jogged a few steps and was still more than one meter away from Zhao Xin. She also jumped on Zhao Xin and hung on to him. Hold the other person tightly.
"I thought you didn't want me anymore."
"..."
What else could Zhao Xin say? There were two women hanging on his body and one was rubbing against his feet. He was almost suffocated by the two women's arms. At this moment, there was only sweetness and satisfaction in his heart. It felt good to have someone waiting to go home.
When he walked into the Shen family's yard holding one in each hand and followed by the other, the Shen family members had already come out and stood waiting in the yard respectfully.
Faced with the king of Zhao who punched the Qing court and kicked the Rakshasa army, who made the island country desperate for death, killed countless people, spread thousands of miles of land, and had hundreds of thousands of "subjects", it was impossible for the Shen family not to be afraid. of.
Mrs. Shen, Ayu and others did not wait for Zhao Xin to stop them, and bowed first. Her tone was respectful and cordial and said: "My uncle is back. Come back and sit in the room. You haven't had breakfast yet?"
When Zhao Xin entered the room and sat down at the table, Shen Xuan couldn't help but take the hot towel that was handed to her, wiped Zhao Xin's fingers clean one by one, and whispered: "Are you still leaving?"
Zhao Xin said with a smile: "I won't leave for now. Even if I leave, I have to get married to you."
"Bah~ Who wants to marry you!" Shen Xuan spat lightly, with a blush on her face but the corners of her mouth raised.
A Miao, who was sitting nearby, blinked with her beautiful eyes open, not knowing what she was thinking.
After breakfast, Zhao Xin stayed at Shen's house for more than a long time. He was almost bored with Shen Xuan. Zhao Xin then returned to his office and appeared in front of everyone in Beihai Town, which immediately caused a sensation.
"My lord is back!"
With the loud voice of Wan Zao's wife and the loudspeaker of the radio station, whether they were Chuanchuan people or residents of Beihai Town, as long as they had nothing to do, they gathered in the square outside Zhao Xin's office. At dusk, tens of thousands of people stood densely outside Zhao Xin's office.
Seeing such a scene, it was probably impossible for Zhao Xin not to show up again. Although he had already sent a telegram and the radio station had issued a notice after the capture of Yaksa and Irkutsk, people still wanted to hear something from his own mouth.
So, as the sun set, Zhao Xin walked up to a makeshift stage and scanned the audience. When the audience was almost silent, he raised his fist and shouted loudly: "We won! Rakshasa was defeated by us!"
Boom~~! ! ! The tens of thousands of people present suddenly boiled and roared like hundreds of big drums. Waves of complimentary calls resounded through the sky.
In addition to a few people who traveled through the country after hearing the news, the naturalized people from the island country and the residents who came to bring the Qing Dynasty suddenly fell to their knees and shouted "Long live King Zhao". Then, someone in the crowd suddenly started shouting "Please ask King Zhao to proclaim himself emperor", and then the voice got louder and louder.
"Holy shit!" This move caught Zhao Xin off guard and he almost fell off the stage.
On the edge of the crowd in the square, a member of the power plant named Luo Jiali had a sneer on his lips and said to another person next to him: "Did you see that? Boss Zhao is going to be the emperor."
The time traveler next to him, named Zhang Jingxuan, looked at the scene in front of him in silence, with an indescribable light dancing in his eyes. After a while, he asked: "What's wrong? Are you envious?"
Luo Jiali said: "If I were to do it, I would definitely be better than him. What are you doing guarding the desolate land outside the pass! The real thing is to kick Qianlong off the throne!"
There was a trace of disdain on Zhang Jingxuan's lips. He knew that this person was just unhappy. A month ago, Luo Jiali fell in love with a certain beauty surnamed Tang who was a teacher in a primary school, but she didn't pay attention to him at all. Zhao Xin was always mentioned from time to time in several conversations, which made Luo Jiali feel very embarrassed.
At this moment, Zhang Jingxuan's eyes were locked on Zhao Xin on the stage, and he wanted to see how this person would respond. It has been a year since he came to Beihai Town. From what he heard and witnessed, Zhang Jingxuan felt that instead of taking the money from the trust fund to go back and wait to die, he should strive for something.
At this moment, Zhao Xin felt like there was a big drum beating in his head, his ears were ringing and his eyes were dizzy. The bulging blood vessels on his neck and temples were beating violently. He almost shouted "Everyone is safe".
Now he has reached the pinnacle of his life, commanding an army of tens of thousands and covering an area of one million square kilometers. For him, being an emperor was just a question of whether he wanted to, not whether he could.
Desire for power, eating a little is an aphrodisiac, becoming addicted to it is poison!
At this moment, a warm big hand was placed on Zhao Xin's shoulder, and the owner of the hand came to Zhao Xin's ear and shouted: "Wake up! The Qing Dynasty is not over yet! Have you forgotten what you said?! The emperor can only be the representative of the powerful!"
Zhao Xin turned around in horror and saw Yu Deli staring at him with warning eyes. Although the veins on his forehead were still showing ferociously, the blood that was originally being stirred up gradually cooled down in the cold eyes of the other party. Only then did Zhao Xin realize that he was almost lost in the cheers of thousands of people.
"Liji! Sheng Haizhou! Katayama!"
Zhao Xin pointed to the three people at the front of the stage and motioned for them to come over. When the three people walked over quickly with excited faces, he stepped off the stage, tried his best to sound calm, waved his hand and said: "Let everyone disperse! Go ahead and do what you have to do!"
"ah?"
"Ah what, go quickly! Come over here when you are done, I have something to ask you!"
As the people gradually dispersed under the driving of the security police, seeing that the farce of "yellow robes" did not appear as expected, Wang Zhong in the crowd looked at the closed door of Zhao Xin's office, shook his head slightly and sighed.
Those who were watching the excitement had left in twos and threes. Zhang Jingxuan, who was walking at the back, stared at the room where Zhao Xin was for a while. The playful smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared in an instant, and then he left happily with his companions.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the lights were brightly lit in Zhao Xin's office. The dinner brought by Shen Xuan and A Miao was placed on the table without Zhao Xin moving it. Standing opposite him were Rikichi, Sheng Haizhou, and Katabei, who were a little embarrassed.
"Tell me about it! Who planned such a big scene this afternoon?"
Katabei was the first to speak, and he replied solemnly: "Sir, I really don't know about this."
Zhao Xin stared at Katabei for a while, nodded and said: "I believe you! You can go out. Remember, report any unusual movements in the residential area to me immediately!"
When Katabei saluted and left, Zhao Xin looked at the remaining two people and said, "What about you?"
The atmosphere in the room became heavier, and Zhao Xin's gaze made Li Ji and Sheng Haizhou breathless.
Li Ji finally couldn't bear it any longer. He knelt on the ground and said to Zhao Xin, "Yes, it's Mr. Wang, the vice principal of the elementary school."
"Wang Zhong?" Zhao Xin sneered, looked up at the ceiling and said, "How can a scholar inspire so many people? Li Ji, do you think I'm easy to cheat?"
Sheng Haizhou also knelt down, gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "It was my idea. I specifically asked Mr. Wang for advice before, and he agreed."
"Oh? I just came back in the morning, and you guys are here all the time in the afternoon. You are very agile. Sheng Haizhou, what do you want to do?"
"Lord, you saved thousands of people from fire and water. Only with you can hundreds of thousands of people have enough food and clothing. Beihai Town has grown from more than 300 people to hundreds of thousands of people today, from a small place to now with a territory of thousands of miles. I feel that You should be proclaimed emperor, and you must be proclaimed emperor!"
"That's it?" Zhao Xin lit a cigarette and looked at Sheng Haizhou playfully.
"I think that Emperor Hongwu was just a beggar back then, but he could become the emperor and create a great world for nearly three hundred years. Why can't my lord? Moreover, the ancients said that the weather has changed, and the artifacts have become easier, and they have returned to virtuous people. This is a natural principle. .”
"Ancient people? Which ancient people said that?"
"This... I saw it in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". "
"Pfft~" Zhao Xin puffed out a puff of cigarette smoke and choked until he coughed. A Miao behind him quickly stroked his back several times.
"Since you like reading ancient books so much, don't you know the truth that "the world's divine weapons cannot be done for a purpose, those who do it will fail, and those who insist on it will lose it"?"
Sheng Haizhou's eyes lit up, he raised his head and asked excitedly, "What do you mean?"
"I didn't say anything!" Zhao Xin pointed at the two of them and said, "I told you before that you can't interfere in this kind of thing!"
"Sheng Haizhou, your chief of staff has been dismissed. You will be given three days to make the handover. After three days, you will take a battalion to Heilongjiang City. You are not allowed to come back without my order."
"Yes!" Sheng Haizhou first leaned down and saluted, and then stood up and saluted.
"Liji."
Seeing that Sheng Haizhou, who had followed Zhao Xin for such a long time, was reprimanded immediately, Li Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, shuddered when he heard calling him.
"I will arrange for someone to hand over the work of the Logistics Command to you tomorrow..." When Li Ji heard this, he burst into tears, but Zhao Xin's next words made his heart drop to the ground.
"Let me say this for the last time, if you continue to do little things behind my back, don't do another job, and go to Nerchinsk to supervise the mines!"
