Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Old Place

Leng Congfeng and others do not understand civil rights and people's livelihood democracy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but I believe that Tan Sitong's idea is definitely good. A year ago, the Brotherhood was still a mess. Qin Laosi's whereabouts are unknown, and the Japanese infiltrated the general gang. Li Shan committed suicide, Lang Lu and others committed crimes, and Jia Zhong's brothers killed each other. When I think of the past, it hurts my heart. It was Tan Sitong who saved the Brotherhood from the brink of collapse. Everyone thought to themselves how good it would be if this man had been a helmsman. But we all know that the pond is too shallow to hide the hidden dragon, and the hill is too slow to leave the tiger. I dare not show such hopes.

Now that he wants to set up a strong country association by himself, the people of the rivers and lakes value the word righteousness, and everyone naturally looks forward to it, and they have expressed their desire to join the strong power association.

It was natural to be happy to have brothers from the Brotherhood join Tan Sitong, but he still made many requests for the brothers to agree to his conditions.

There are thousands of brothers in the Elder Brothers' Association, and without correct guidance, they will inevitably become the source of riots. Tan Sitong hopes to let them join in this lofty ideal goal of working for the rejuvenation of the country. It's no longer just a narrow gang that is only entangled in personal grudges.

Zhang Zhidong had already launched the Westernization Movement in Liangguang, training new soldiers, building railways, and setting up factories. His transfer to Hubei will certainly continue his reforms. Tan Sitong wanted Leng Congfeng to wait for the time to come, so he selected brothers with knowledge and skills in the gang to join the Hubei New Army. These brothers did not surrender to the Aisin Jueluo family, but to become the country's defense force. In the army, they had to teach martial arts and make friends. It is necessary to spread the message that the army is an armed force to defend the territory and defend against foreign aggression, not to massacre the common people and help the accomplices of abuse.

Qian Shi should participate in the Westernization movement led by Zhang Zhidong's government. Mining mines, setting up factories, and developing commerce. These elders' churches can participate. Lead the gang to slowly become a legitimate business organization. In this way, the brothers will not have to live a life of licking blood on the tip of the knife in the future.

If you are not desperate and have no way to ask for help, who is willing to do the murderous business? Tan Sitong's proposal, everyone naturally agreed. Tan Sitong also asked the elders to absorb more fresh blood and promote some insightful and courageous talents. Rebuild the ten rows well. Each row must be managed by loyal and righteous people, so that it will not be taken advantage of by outsiders.

Qian Shi has been in charge of the elders' association for many years, and reminded Tan Si that the army has no food and does not move, and the establishment of an organization must have financial resources. Tan Sitong said that he was considering this matter, and that the Qiangguo Congress should not only have its own armed forces, but also have propaganda positions and economic support. When I arrived in the capital, I would have a comprehensive plan with Yuan Shikai, Kang Youwei and others. After discussing this for half the night, they each rested.

On the second day, Tan Sitong no longer stayed, and immediately left for Shaanxi with Long Er. Chen Jinnan's Hongmen Conference was approaching, and he was entrusted by Master Wanyun that day, and Zhang Zongyu begged him to protect the Hongmen holy relics at the bottom of the sea. This seabed is still hidden in Fenglingdu. When Chen Jinnan elects a new leader and returns the bottom of the sea to Zhao himself, he can be regarded as fulfilling his wish. Now that he knows his relationship with Hongmen, it has naturally become an unshirkable responsibility to protect the seabed, but this military advisor obviously can't be a military advisor, and it is better to hand over the seabed to his successor Chen Jinnan.

And Tan Sitong hoped in his heart to persuade Chen Jinnan to accept his point of view, so that all the Hongmen would join the Qiangguo Association, an organization that struggled for the rejuvenation of the country. And no longer just a source of insurrection in this country.

Leng Congfeng and the others have also received a notice to attend the conference, because they want to go back to the main altar to arrange matters, they have to postpone their departure for a few days, and they will not go with Tan Sitong.

When he arrived in Wuhan, Zhang Zhidong had not yet arrived. Tan Jixun just arrived in Hubei officialdom, so naturally there were many social contacts, Tan Jitong couldn't care about Li Yanqing and me, and went to Shaanxi after staying for a day.

Only after the assassination from Jingzhou, there was no movement on the Queen Mother's side. But Tan Sitong knew that this old woman would not let herself become her constraints, and thought that with such a big movement at the Hongmen Conference, the court would definitely receive the news. This Chen Jinnan is the most feared person of the Queen Mother for decades, if she knows Chen Jinnan's movements, she will definitely take action, and now she has become a thorn in her eye, this trip to Fenglingdu is afraid that it will be very dangerous. But the husband is alive, and he shoulders morality with iron shoulders, although among tens of millions of people, I should also go alone.

Hurried horses galloped, and arrived at Tongguan in two days. 'The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road. Wangxidu,

Hesitation. Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer! Tan Sitong silently recited Zhang Yanghao's hillside goat, and his heart was miserable. The rise and fall of national affairs, but the bitter people are always ants-like people. When will the common people be able to make decisions about their own destiny! It's no longer a pawn in the hands of those emperors and generals!

Fenglingdu is still the same as in the old days, with light singing and dancing, a restaurant with paper fans and drunk, and a noisy inn with cars and horses. A constant stream of merchants and stranded tourists made the forts of the three provinces prosperous. Chen Jinnan chose this prosperous and remote place to hold the Hongmen Conference, although there were many Hongmen disciples, all dressed as businessmen and tourists, but they would not attract attention, obviously after careful consideration.

This year, there was a breach in the Yellow River, and a large area of Shanxi was flooded, and I don't know how many people were ruined and killed. This small ferry sings every day, but on the other side of the river, people cry. Only the Yellow River is not frightened or worried, regardless of the joys and sorrows of the world.

Now the river is frozen. Looking eastward, the ice and snow in the distance, the mountain peaks are old, like an eternal flood. In this world, the fireworks here are red and dusty, but the other bank is like a wilderness.

Regardless of the sigh, Tan Si and the two of them were in a hurry to find Chen Jinnan, and went to the Honghua Pavilion along the street. Walking all the way, but seeing the crowd coming and going, many people dressed up in the rivers and lakes, obviously the children of Hongmen from all over the country, it is estimated that there are some friends who love to be lively, most of them have already come here.

Did they come to the conference as well? Tan Sitong thought about it while walking, and had already arrived at the Red Flower Pavilion.

When I entered the lobby, my eyes were full of old knowledge. Yuan Cheng, a white fan, Zhang Decheng of the Boxers, Zhu Honglan of the Dadao Society, and Lai Zhong of the Triad all came to pay tribute and reminisce about the past. Lin Hei'er, who was only illuminated by the red light, sat in the distance, looking at herself with a pair of seconds of disgust and joy, and did not get up, but just waved his hand and said hello. Among them, there are many heroic friends who Tan Si and he has never known, and they also salute each other. Zhang Decheng saw Tan Sitong with a look on his face, but he still came over to say hello.

To Tan Sitong's surprise, Dadao Wang Wu walked out of the back room, and he also rushed back from Taiwan. I haven't seen each other for two years, and the master's heroism has not diminished, but there are more vicissitudes. Tan Sitong hurriedly greeted him and bowed down.

?“ You're out now, you've beaten the old man, you've killed the British. He also wiped out all the Japanese spies in the southwest. It's not in vain that my Wang Wu accepted you as an apprentice! Wang Wuyi pulled Tan Sitong up. I took a closer look at the apprentice's increasingly mature appearance, and my heart was already happy.

?“ I was in Taiwan when you got married, and I couldn't go to Lanzhou to do it, so I just waited for me to add an apprentice and grandson and make up for it. Wang Wu is deeply sorry for not attending Tan Sitong's wedding.

Tan Sitong said that he didn't dare and asked the master about the situation in Taiwan. Wang Wu looked worried, saying that Liu Mingchuan and Liu Yongfu were once enemies of each other, and the Huai army led by Liu Mingchuan was the culprit in defeating the Twist Army. The French have stopped, but the Japanese are eyeing Taiwan, and now the generals are not in harmony, Taiwan is hanging far overseas, and the imperial court is so weak, the situation is worrying. I have been guarding Taiwan, because I am afraid that Liu Mingchuan will calculate Liu Yongfu, and I am afraid that the Japanese will suddenly attack. This time, it was for the sake of Hongmen's centennial plan, so he had to rush back to the mainland.

Tan Sitong already knew that the master and Chen Jinnan had assassinated Tongzhi together, and his status in Hongmen was definitely not low, and accepting himself as an apprentice was also according to Chen Jinnan's intention to train himself to be a Hongmen military teacher. At this time, he simply picked out and said: "Master, I don't agree that Hongmen must overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, so I won't do this Hongmen military division." ”

?“ We'll talk about that then. Wang Wu was vague and unwilling to discuss the topic. took Tan Sitong and walked to the back room. After passing through the back door and going up the hill along the path, the two arrived at Zhang Zongyu's residence that day. But I saw that the trees were lush and the hut was looming, and it was still the same as before. There were many people busy outside the house, and Wang Wu told Tan Sitong that these were all brothers of the general altar, and many of them were of extremely high seniority. These people rarely appear in the rivers and lakes, but they are all famous figures who once dominated the martial arts. He is also Chen Jinnan's loyal subordinate.

When I walked into the house, I saw a table and a pot, and the furnishings were the same as before. It's just that Zhang Zongyu was replaced by Chen Jinnan. That Chen Jinnan was looking at the sky with his hands in his hands, and stood there alone with his back to the two of them. Seeing the two of them come in, he was not surprised, turned around and made a gesture to sit down, beckoned everyone to sit down, and said to Tan Sitong, "You are still here." ”
