Chapter 204: Hongmen

"One crater in exchange for so many authentic works of the Song and Yuan dynasties?"

Hu Jianmin was shocked, and the old man Ouyang carefully appraised all the calligraphy and paintings, and said excitedly for a while: "They are all genuine!" A national treasure! ”

This harvest is very big, the Song and Yuan Dynasty genuine products are rare, especially calligraphy and paintings, each one is basically a unique product. The fact that a piece of paper can last for thousands of years is a miracle in itself.

"Boy, these are priceless, and they can't even be measured by money, I'm convinced!"

There are less than ten Yuan blue and white character jars and blue and white glaze red dragon pattern lid jars, and there are only two blue and white dragon plum vases in the world, and Huang Gong looks at the autumn picture.

Song Huizong's Later Chibi Picture, Ten Beauty Pictures, Guo Xi's Autumn Mountain Picture, Xie Yuan's Peach Blossom Picture, and finally the Chaoyuan Fairy Picture!

"These random ones are also first-class cultural relics in the Forbidden City, and they are national treasure-level heavy weapons, can your security work?"

The old man was really not at ease, Lao Ren explained for a long time, proving that Tianyuan has the ability to protect the national treasure, and he put his mind at ease.

"Shall we invest some more money in improving security?"

Hu Jianmin is also a little weak-hearted, now any exhibition hall in the museum is billions of billions, according to Wu Tianyuan's speed, it won't take three years, and the Forbidden City will come here to borrow treasures for exhibition!

Wu Tianyuan also agreed to spend 30 million yuan to comprehensively improve security facilities again, according to the level of the British Museum and the Louvre!

"Put the things in the warehouse first, wait to find a few more pieces and then arrange the exhibition hall, I will go back to the United States tomorrow and continue to hunt for treasures!"

Hu Jianmin and Old Man Ouyang glanced at each other, this kind of thing can only be said by Wu Tianyuan! Song Huizong's authentic works, looking for another batch?

"I heard you've made another big move in the United States?"

Niu Feng called and said with a smile: "Keep working hard, now even the leaders are used to the magical efficiency of your treasure hunting, I wish you could go abroad more and travel more!" ”

"By the way, you go to the United States to the address of San Francisco and find Elder Yin, he is also his own person, the boss of the Hongmen Branch!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at the address sent by Niu Feng curiously, Hongmen? To the Gong Party?

On October 10, 1925, Hongmen Zhi Gong Tang, the largest overseas Chinese organization, was transformed into the China Zhi Gong Party, and Chen Jiongming became the first premier of the party. Situ Meitang is a patriotic overseas Chinese leader and a Hongmen veteran admired by Hongmen Kunzhong in the world.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Situ Meitang mobilized overseas Chinese to actively support the motherland to resist the Japanese fascist invasion in various ways such as donations and materials, and made immortal contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan.

There are many versions of the legend of Hongmen, each of which is inconsistent, one theory is: Hongmen is the Heaven and Earth Society, and the Zhigongtang is an overseas branch of Hongmen, and they are unanimously called the Heaven and Earth Society or the Red Gang externally, and the Hongmen is called Hongmen internally.

The purpose of the Overseas Hongmen Organization is to love the country, love the nation, and resist foreign aggression. For more than 300 years, they have fought bloody battles to defend the motherland, resist foreign aggression, eradicate warlords, carry out struggles, and carry out revolutions.

Mr. Sun Yat-sen joined Hongmen for the purpose of revolution and better overseas activities. After all, there are 200,000 members of the Hongmen Zhi Gong Court overseas, which is a large amount of revolutionary force. So Sun Yat-sen joined the Hongmen Zhigong Hall in Honolulu in 1904 and was given the post of "Hongbang".

For the patriotic overseas Chinese Wu Tianyuan is very respectful, although he is far away from his homeland, but because of this, they are more united and more patriotic. Hongmen has always been a place he yearns for, and he is very curious, so he must find out.

"Boy, there's a set, I like you!"

Yin Lao was in his early seventies, in good spirits, patted Wu Tianyuan's shoulder, and said affectionately: "I have long listened to Xiao Niu talking about you, and I have a chance to meet today, come, sit down and talk!" ”

Wu Tianyuan took out the meeting gift, three pieces of calligraphy, Yin Lao was very happy, this kid is a fine product.

"On the tower of Tiananmen Square, where the founding ceremony was held on October 1, 1949, our Hongmen boss, Situ Meitang, was also fortunate to witness the historic moment of China's rise!"

Yin Lao was excited, pointed to the enshrined ranks, and introduced: "Situ Meitang was born in a poor peasant family in Chikan Town, Kaiping City, Guangdong Province, and was forced to cross the ocean with his fellow villagers to the United States at the age of 12 to make a living, working as a handyman in a restaurant in Chinatown. At that time, in order to protect their own interests, many overseas Chinese joined organizations such as the Hongmen Zhi Gong Tang, which was the largest non-governmental association of the lower class of overseas Chinese in North America at that time. ”

"Situ Meitang has been martial arts since elementary school, and he has a good martial arts, holding a knife and a stick, and more than a dozen people can't get close to him. When he was 20 years old, a white hooligan went to the restaurant where Situ Meitang worked to eat overlord meals, and Situ Meitang was so angry that he beat the hooligan to death with three punches and two punches, and was sentenced to death. Overseas Chinese and Hongmen people immediately pooled money to rescue them, and finally the sentence was commuted to 10 months. This incident made Situ Meitang famous in the Chinese community. ”

Wu Tianyuan listened curiously, his blood boiled, overseas Chinese can only have food to eat and not be bullied by others if they are united.

Situ Meitang came to Boston and established An Liang Tang, playing the banner of "hoeing the strong and helping the weak, eliminating violence and peace and goodness". An Liang Tang soon became a strong group under the Hongmen Zhi Gong Tang, and finally developed into an Anliang Tang in 31 cities in the United States, with a huge scale and more than 20,000 members. ”

Situ Meitang himself is called "big guy" and honored as "uncle". The church also had its own legal advisers, like the current society, do you know who they are? ”

Seeing Wu Tianyuan shaking his head, Elder Yin laughed and said, "It's the next two US presidents - Franklin and Roosevelt!" ”

Wu Tianyuan was surprised: "So powerful! ”

In that year, Sun Yat-sen went to the United States to carry out revolutionary activities as the "big brother of Hongmen", Situ Meitang was moved by Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideals and decided to take up the post of security guard, and the Hongmen organization began to support Sun Yat-sen's anti-Qing revolutionary activities in terms of manpower and financial resources. ”

At that time, there were many lower-class Chinese workers' associations in Chinatowns in the United States, known as "Tangkou", and they had their own turf. In the eastern part of the United States, Anliang Hall and Xiesheng Hall are two relatively large halls that have fought with each other for a long time. After the outbreak of the "9.18" incident, Situ Meitang believed that overseas Chinese should unite and fight the enemy together. ”

Yin Lao said proudly: "When he passed through Hong Kong in the winter of 1941, the Pacific War broke out, Hong Kong fell, and Szeto Meitang was also placed under house arrest. Yazaki, the head of Japan's special high-tech department, knew the details of Situ Meitang, and sent someone to summon him to the secret service to threaten and lure him, forcing him to serve as the chairman of the maintenance committee, in an attempt to use him to organize a Hong Kong gang and assist the Japanese army in "strengthening public order."

At that time, Situ Meitang was 75 years old, but he showed a high degree of national integrity. He said to Yazaki: "I am too old to carry the black cauldron before I enter the earth, which is like a virgin losing her head and suffering for half of her life." Therefore I am determined not to maintain the president in any way. ”

Tegaoke wanted to kill this stubborn old man, but because of the power of the Hong Kong gang, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to swallow his anger and let him go. With the help of Brother Hongmen, Situ Meitang sneaked out of Hong Kong in disguise and smuggled to the mainland. ”

After arriving in Chongqing, Lao Jiang and his wife were respectful to him, and they would welcome him when they visited, and they would personally help him outside the door and promise him the post of a member of the state government. At this time, however, Situ witnessed the corruption of the Kuomintang and the hardship of the people in the rear, and was extremely disappointed with the Kuomintang, so he refused to join the Kuomintang and refused to hold an official position. ”

In March 1945, the American Hongmen Cordial Conference was held in New York, and it was decided to reorganize the Hongmen Zhi Gong Tang into the overseas Chinese political party "China Hongmen Zhi Gong Party". ”

In Nanjing and Shanghai in 1947, Situ Meitang refused to be the representative of Lao Jiang, and Du Yuesheng, the boss of the Youth Gang, threatened Jiang: "Jiang told you to be, you have to be, he is not a person to be messed with." Situ Meitang waved his cane and shouted: "If my Situ Meitang is not appropriate, it is not appropriate, tell Jiang someone, is Situ Meitang easy to provoke!" ”

Wu Tianyuan sighed, cattle people are cattle everywhere, no wonder they all say that Hongmen has great strength in the United States, and even the government respects it, which seems to be really reasonable. "Boy, I am my own person, I have always done things for the country, and if I have something to say in the United States in the future, I am here!"
