Super Prestige System

Chapter 38 Land: Lushun Arena

What Zhou Ding didn't know was that his fanfare of boasting about himself had caused his news to be paid attention to by the imperial court. Li Hongzhang, who was out of work for the elderly, the Empress Dowager Cixi, who had an overview of the world's power, and Emperor Guangxu, who was actively promoting reforms, were all placed in front of him. There was a "color newspaper".The imperial court mobilized state power to investigate Zhou Ding thoroughly with lightning speed.

Mysterious, this Zhou Ding is too mysterious!
It suddenly appeared at Tianjin Wharf two years ago, and I can't find out where it came from!

A deal was reached with Andus on the same day, and it was also impossible to find out who delivered the goods to Zhou Ding.

It is reported that Andus bought about [-] foreign guns in the past two years, and all these guns were handed over to Zhou Ding. After Zhou Ding received them, the whereabouts of these weapons were unknown, and it was impossible to find out where they went.

What is the origin of Zhou Ding, and what is his intention to buy so many weapons secretly?
The imperial court's defense against Han people is even more serious than against foreigners. The Empress Dowager Cixi once said: "Ning and friends are better than domestic slaves!"

Li Hongzhang is seventy-six this year, the loess is buried up to his neck, time is running out, everything is already bearish, he chuckled, threw Zhou Ding's information into the trash can, and thought: If it was earlier, this person might be taken for my use , and now, let the old lady and the little emperor worry about it!
Although the Empress Dowager Cixi is already in her sixties, her desire for power is getting heavier and heavier.In her eyes, all the Han people who are not called slaves are enemies who are deliberately waiting for the opportunity to seize the Qing Dynasty.

And Zhou Ding claimed to be a survivor of the former Song Dynasty, and Sima Zhao's heart is clearly revealed!
However, the relationship between Zhou Ding and Western countries makes Cixi quite jealous, and it is not appropriate to startle the snake before finding out what Zhou Ding is following! !

For now, be on guard!

Emperor Guangxu wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Zhou Ding. Although Zhou Ding had many suspicions, his attitude towards Tsarist Russia gave Guangxu a sense of mutual understanding.

The current Tsarist Russia is too arrogant. In March, it forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the "Luda ​​Land Lease Treaty". This is not counted. Just this month, just a few days ago, in St. Petersburg, the Qing Dynasty was forced to sign the "Renewal of Luda According to the six paragraphs of the Land Lease Treaty, China's Northeast, the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, has already been reduced to the sphere of influence of Tsarist Russia.

Reform is imminent!

Guangxu sent an order: Tan Sitong, Kang Guangren, Lin Xu, Yang Shenxiu, Yang Rui, Liu Guangdi, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others were called into the palace.

After the ceremony was over, Guangxu handed Zhou Ding's information to everyone, and said straight to the point: "I think everyone already knows about Zhou Ding, so let's talk about it!"

Kang Youwei said: "Return to the emperor, I think; Your Majesty should maintain a friendly attitude with Zhou Ding, and it is best to establish a friendly relationship with Zhou Ding's family. The Zhou family has strong capital and advanced technology. It can help us a lot.”

Guangxu nodded: "Guangsha is right, do you have any other opinions?"

Tan Sitong said: "Qi Zou the emperor, the minister also agrees with Guangsha's words, but before that, it is necessary to find out Zhou Ding's attitude towards the court, and the whereabouts of those guns are unknown, about [-] long guns. Too big!"

Liu Guangdi echoed: "Yes, we must find out whether Zhou Ding is an enemy or a friend!"

Kang Youwei said: "Returning to the emperor, I think that these guns may have been sent overseas by Zhou Ding, otherwise, how could they disappear out of thin air?"

Kang Guangren argued: "Even if it is sent overseas, there should be a record!"

Liang Qichao shook his head and said: "There is no record, it only shows that the Zhou family has great powers. Zhou Ding handed over 4 watches to Andus. Isn't it also impossible to find the entry record?"

Everyone heard the words and fell into deep thought.

Guangxu nodded and said to Tan Sitong: "In this case, Fusheng, you have worked hard, and I will meet Zhou Ding for a while!
If Zhou Ding is friendly to the imperial court and is willing to explain the whereabouts of the foreign guns, and has no intention of becoming an enemy of the Qing Dynasty, we will win over this friend!If he is perfunctory about this question, he is vague...

Hold on to him first, Zhou Ding's background is too complicated, reforms are imminent, so don't make extra troubles! "

Tan Sitong replied: "I obey the order, please rest assured, even if this person has ulterior motives, you can take advantage of it first!"

Guangxu chuckled: "Resurrection can control the specific scale by itself. In short, everything is for the reform, and everything is for the revitalization of China!"

All His Highness said in unison: "Everything is for political reform, and everything is for the revitalization of China!" If this scene was captured, people who didn't know it would think it was a secret meeting of a pyramid scheme organization!

Zhou Ding naturally didn't know what happened in the palace. At this moment, Zhou Ding brought Andus, agents from the United States, Britain, France, Germany and several other countries, as well as several reporters, to the port to board the port. Boat,

After all the foreigners came to the port, they were stunned!

There is a military cruiser parked at the port. The cruiser is more than [-] meters long. Compared with other warships in the world, it has a very majestic shape and much more beautiful appearance. If there is a word "science fiction" now, everyone will say, Good sci-fi battleship.

It's just that the words "Zhou's Cruiser" written on the military cruiser are ugly enough, as if graffiti by a child!
This military cruiser was not bought by Zhou Ding!
Back in the real world this time, Zhou Ding really wanted to buy a yacht for his trip to Lushun. Unexpectedly, large yachts are not easy to buy and need to be customized.

Zhou Ding said in his heart; if you are really sleepy, you will be the one who will send you the pillow!

After having a goal, Zhou Ding casually found a tour group for a seven-day tour in Japan and South Korea, and followed the group to RB. In the middle of the night, Zhou Ding quietly left the group, took out a motorcycle from the space, and went straight to the military port terminal.

Sneaking into the RB military port, Zhou Ding waved his hand, intending to put all the more than ten warships in the docked port into the system space, but he didn't.

System prompt: There are living beings in the warship. If the tester insists on collecting it, he must touch the warship.

So there is still this restriction?

Touch to touch, what a big deal!

Not long after, more than ten warships all entered Zhou Ding's system space. Unfortunately, one aircraft carrier was not taken away. It was too large, exceeding 300 meters, and the system did not have such a capability for the time being.
Zhou Ding let it go helplessly, feeling very regretful in his heart!

Spiritual thoughts entered the system space, and Zhou Ding discovered that all the RB soldiers in the warship turned into corpses after entering the system space.

This is a bit unethical!

However, Zhou Ding believes that the Chinese people will forgive him!

After stealing it, Zhou Ding was in trouble!How to use it?Zhou Ding didn't know how to drive a ship, and no one would use it in the Qing Dynasty.

Ever since, Zhou Ding bought a lot of books on modern ships, whether it was about driving, maintenance, or construction, and he used his reputation to learn all of them.

In the end, I went to the Jiaozhou Navy Fleet through my relationship, boarded a destroyer and followed the troops to sea, and personally watched how the soldiers drove.

Facts have proved that the operation of modern warships is not complicated. If the above weapons are not used, it will be simpler, at least much simpler than driving.

After returning, Zhou Ding asked Andus to hire a group of crew members at a high price, and personally selected a dozen of them with good reputation and status, taught them how to drive, and issued strict orders; Otherwise, sink the sea and feed the fish!

Coming all the way from Tianjin to the east, the accompanying foreigners unabashedly expressed their curiosity about the Zhou Ding family, making countless indirect remarks, trying to figure out which island the Zhou family is on.

The result can be imagined, they were all dismissed by Zhou Ding: "Secret!"

Zhou Ding's meaning is very clear: Zhou's family is a hidden family, since it is a hidden family, it is natural to hide it, how can it be publicized?

Everyone really wanted to 'bah' Zhou Ding's face, you are so high-profile, you have the nerve to say that your family is a hermit family.

You can think of it with your ass; the children of the hidden world family should be very low-key when they go out, but you are good, uncharacteristically, posting your own photos everywhere, trying to catch people's attention like your life, there is no "hidden world" 'Like? ? ?

These people complained about it, but deep down they admitted that Zhou's family was, in all likelihood, what he called the hermit family.

After all, the watches or cars that Zhou Ding took out, including this warship, are all real things. The family that can manufacture these things must have the world's top technical team. Before Zhou Ding was born, such a powerful The broken family is unknown to the world.

If it wasn't hidden in the world, how could such a family be unknown?

----------

After the boat docked, Zhou Ding launched an ordinary 400-street racing motorcycle, put on the banner of challenging the Tsarist-Russian Arena, rode slowly, and led a group of people to the Tsarist-Russian Arena.

Zhou Ding's car and banner were too eye-catching, and there were more than a dozen foreigners in rickshaws behind him. He acted so high-profile, and he was indeed very recruiting. It didn't take long for Zhou Ding to have many spectators around him. .

When the common people knew that this person was the rich man advertised in the newspaper, the closed disciple of martial arts master Guo Yunshen——Zhou Ding, all of them embraced each other with great enthusiasm.

For the sake of prestige, Zhou Ding naturally couldn't refuse the favor of the people, and kept waving to the people. The journey from the pier to the arena was only three kilometers, and the team actually walked for a whole hour.

Lushun people suffer!

After the end of the Sino-Japanese War four years ago, RB invaded Lushun, raised its butcher knife high, and massacred the people of Lushun for four days and three nights!
After finally leaving the RB people, the Russian soldiers ushered in again. The Russian soldiers are not good birds. Their misbehaviors have caused the people of Lushun the pain of their skin, and their various crimes are too numerous to write down.

When Zhou Ding and others arrived at the arena, the owner of the arena had already greeted them at the door.

The owner of the arena is called Bauer Shak. He is about 1.7 meters five, with a fat head and big ears. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed eyes. Putting on an elegant appearance, in fact, he is a very bloodthirsty and crazy person!
Bauershak is the owner of a large arena in Tsarist Russia. In order to consume the local opposition forces, the Tsarist Russian military specially invited Bauer to Lushun. .

Zhou Ding stopped the motorcycle, handed the flag on the motorcycle to Andus, and led the dozen or so foreigners to the entrance of the arena.

Balshak asked very unfriendlyly: "Mr. Zhou, before you enter the arena, please allow me to remind you once; once you leave the arena, it will be a battle of life and death. Are you sure you want to enter our arena? Our gladiators fight to the death?"

Zhou Ding showed a smile that he thought was very chic, smiled lightly, and said: "My challenge book is very clear. I fight every day for a total of three days. If I lose, I will lose my life. If you lose, you will lose your life." Tear off the couplet posted on the door!

If you are afraid, tear up the couplet at the door now, and publicly apologize to the Chinese martial artist, I can spare you!Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel, I will beat you until you are convinced! "

Bolshak smiled and said: "In that case, please come in, Your Excellency, your three opponents have been arranged, and the information will be sent to you later, you can choose one for the first match!!"

Zhou Ding waved his hand and said: "No need, you can arrange whatever you want, it doesn't matter who comes first, after losing, don't forget to eat this couplet!"

Balshak still looked unfazed, and said in a personable manner: "Okay, Mr. Zhou, please go to the locker room to rest for a while, and the decisive battle will officially begin in an hour!"

Zhou Ding led people into the arena, and the people outside followed Zhou Ding to swarm in. The Tsarist Russian soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop them. A soldier who could speak Chinese shouted loudly: "Whoever wants to go in to watch the game, you must Go to the ticket office to buy tickets, one tael per ticket, if you want to go in if you don’t have money to buy a ticket, go dreaming!”

Zhou Ding stopped, walked up to the Russian soldier, took out a 5000 tael bank note and threw it at his face, and said loudly: "In the next three days, I will cover all the seats on the first floor of the arena. Yes, let them in!"

The Tsarist Russian soldiers looked at Bolshak, and Bauer frowned slightly. After weighing the pros and cons, he quickly made a decision: "Get out of the way, let the Chinese outside the door come in!"

The people outside shouted loudly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"

"Did you hear that, Mr. Zhou paid all the tickets, let me in quickly..."

"Get out of the way, stupid man, do you know who Mr. Zhou is? He is a world-class rich man with tens of millions of taels of silver. He will smash you to death with silver..."

In order to deal with Zhou Ding's challenge, Borshak not only used the strongest gladiator under his command, but also invited the world's number one Hercules Malotov at a high price, and the notorious "hundred men beheaded" Antonio.

In order to prevent accidents, Balshak also prepared a killer trick, just in case!

In short, in order to complete the role assigned by the military, Balshak will spare no effort to keep this Zhou Ding, who knows nothing about the heights of the sky and the depths of his enemies, on the arena forever.

An hour later, when it was the scheduled time for the arena, Zhou Ding changed into a set of white gold-rimmed training clothes, and walked towards the arena in a graceful manner.

The entire first floor of the arena was full of Chinese people. Seeing Zhou Ding appearing on the stage, they all shouted: "Mr. Zhou, we support you!"

"Mr. Zhou, kill the foreign devil!"

Zhou Ding waved his hand, flew over the guardrail, and walked towards the center of the arena.A young man in his 20s stood up and took the lead in shouting: "Zhou Ding will win, Zhou Ding will win..."

The Chinese people on the first floor shouted one after another. If Zhou Ding checked his reputation at this moment, he would definitely find out that many Chinese people in the field have reached respect with his reputation.

Compared with the enthusiasm on the first floor, the second floor seemed deserted. Zhou Ding raised his eyes and saw that the audience on the second floor were all foreigners, most of whom were Russians. Their attitude towards Zhou Ding was quite indifferent.

The arena is located in the center of the entire hall. The arena is circular with a diameter of about eight or nine meters. There are no guardrails on the side of the arena. Outside the arena is a deep pit two meters deep and four to five meters wide, and then outward is the audience guardrail. .

At this time, a gate in the deep pit suddenly opened, and several ferocious Tibetan mastiffs rushed out, roaring and roaring along the gladiatorial platform, as if they wanted to choose someone to eat.

Zhou Ding snorted coldly: Pediatric psychological tactics!

This kind of scene has been seen a lot in later generations of movies. Who are you going to scare with a few Tibetan mastiffs?At least a few tigers must be released to be considered creative.

After Zhou Ding walked into the arena, the commentator's voice sounded:
"Lei Disen, my Zhan heads, the first one to appear is this time's challenger, Zhou Ding, who is known as the Chinese rich man! This competition is a one-on-one gladiatorial fight, without any rules, and finally stands in the ring The side above is the winner!"

As soon as this remark came out, the foreigners on the second floor cheered one by one, as if they had been waiting for it for a long time.

"Next, let's invite the master of our arena, 42 wins in 42 battles, 42 KO opponents heavyweight gladiator - Moros grand debut!"

As the narrator's voice fell, a burly man with a height of 1.9 meters [-], a hulking back and a ferocious face stepped into the arena wearing a red cloak.

Zhou Ding's stature is close to 1.8 meters, which was already considered a big man in the Qing Dynasty, but standing next to Molos, who is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 260 kilograms, he looks very thin.

Moros stopped in front of Zhou Ding and said in broken Chinese: "Hi! Yellow monkey, I will tear you in two!"

Zhou Ding's desire to fight instantly rose, and he said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, let's see the real trick!"

Moros turned his head to look at the narrator, and the narrator shouted: "Now, I announce that the life-and-death fight between Chinese martial artist Zhou Ding and boxing champion Moros has officially begun..."
