Chapter 256: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well
Yang Jiekai was like this, drinking tea while listening to the old man talk about the Tianhong allusions that made them feel smacked, and occasionally interjected a few words.
If outsiders watch this scene, they will definitely think that this is two old friends talking heart-to-heart, but they don't know that people like them in the rivers and lakes, no matter how good their private feelings are, they will cherish each other again, even if they are chatting with this tea like this, maybe in the next second, they are very likely to pull out a gun and smash each other's heads!
I can't help myself, this is the person in the rivers and lakes!
Why did they come to see this old man today, and why did the old man see Yang Jiekai, I'm afraid that neither of them has forgotten their original intentions.
It's just that for the people in the rivers and lakes, two people who may be mortal enemies in the next second can sit together and drink tea, this kind of leisure is very precious, and the two sides have a tacit understanding that they do not mention what will happen next, and quietly enjoy the time that is normal for ordinary people, but it is extremely rare for people in the rivers and lakes.
Yang Jiekai listened quietly to the old man's legendary story......
The origin of Tianhong can no longer be traced, and there are different opinions on the rivers and lakes, but it is more agreed that Zheng Chenggong was created as orthodox for the secret of anti-Qing and Ming restoration.
The three major organizations that once resounded in the mainland of China during the Republic of China, Qingge, Hongmen, and Tianhong, in fact, all came out of the same door, all of which were founded by Zheng Chenggong's ancestor to oppose the Qing Dynasty, but who is orthodox, this is impossible to verify, anyway, the three major organizations today all say that they are orthodox, and other organizations are split from them.
In comparison, Tianhong has another saying, that is, it originated from the Shancheng Wharf, which was formed by the integration of various forces on the wharf, and was first named "Brother Laohui", and then called "Brother Pao", because most of its members were originally composed of the Chongqing and Shu area, and the Brother Guild and the Brother Pao family are all dialects, which is why Tianhong's company is called the Red Robe Group.
Later, this force continued to grow along the Yangtze River Valley, and gradually changed its name to Tianhong, and has been used to this day.
After the old man finished speaking, his expression was solemn, as if he was thinking about those stormy days in the past.
After Yang Jiekai listened, he was also silent for a while.
"Then Qingge and Hongmen, do they still exist now?" Yang Jiekai suddenly asked.
The old man nodded and said, "Not only does it exist, but it is also my Tianhong's biggest enemy!" ”
Yang Jiekai's mouth was shocked when he heard this, and he was surprised by just a red sky, he couldn't imagine that Qingge and Hongmen also still existed, so the world of rivers and lakes in China would be lively!
Yang Jiekai suddenly thought of something, and pretended to ask casually, "Then what is the scale of these organizations now, they won't be as huge as before the liberation, after all, it is now a society under the rule of law, hehe." ”
When the old man heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said: "Mr. Yang really deserves his reputation, and he began to probe my old bottom so soon, haha, the future is terrifying......"
Yang Jiekai saw that his purpose was exposed, and he was a little embarrassed and said: "Hehe, I just ask casually, if the old gentleman is inconvenient, you can not talk about it." ”
The old man just smiled faintly, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down on the outside through the special glass, and then said slowly: "This is not a secret, and it doesn't hurt to tell you today." ”
Yang Jiekai was overjoyed, but his face was still calm, and he said lightly: "Listen to me." ”
The old man said: "Let's talk about economic strength first, because there are too many industries involved, it is inconvenient to talk about them one by one, I will only give you an example, this red robe group is just an ordinary group company in the hands of Tianhong, like this company, Tianhong has many more in the world." ”
As soon as the old man said this, Yang Jiekai couldn't help but gasp, just the annual profit of this red robe group, I don't know how many times higher than Longtang, this is quite remarkable, but the old man said that there are many such companies in the world, what is the concept of many? Many of them represent the wealth of Tianhong, which is surprisingly large.
The old man continued: "Let's talk about my Tianhong disciples, I won't talk about it before the split, just say that after the split, there are at least 30,000 disciples in the sect who are officially worshipping under my Tianhong Banner, and there are even more disciples on the periphery." ”
Yang Jiekai almost fainted again, and the Dragon Hall currently adds up to less than a thousand at most, but there are 30,000 disciples in the Tianhong Sect alone! What is the concept of 30,000, if it is converted into the establishment of the army, it is three integrated divisions!
Do you want to fight? Yang Jiekai said secretly in his heart.
The old man saw Yang Jiekai's expression and smiled: "Don't be surprised, this is only the data after the Tianhong split, besides, most of the cities in the Yangtze River basin are our territory, and we have to send people out to fight with Hongmen Qingge at any time, so if you calculate it, 30,000 people is not a lot at all." ”
Although the old man said this, Yang Jiekai secretly said in his heart, it's not a lot of fart, Lao Tzu Longtang is less than a thousand people, if you fight here, the crowd tactics will have to drown Lao Tzu!
Thinking of this, Yang Jiekai suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked with some doubts: "Old man, you just said that the Yangtze River Basin is almost all your red territory, what is the Anhai City ......?"
Anhai City is adjacent to the mountain city and is also in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but his own Longtang has not only never encountered Tianhong over there, but has never even heard of it.
The old man nodded and said: "An Hai is an exception, during the Liberation War, it was a military chokepoint, and the two sides fought back and forth, and later after the victory of the battle, the enemy did not give up, and secretly sent spies to lurk in it to sabotage, and the country finally made a ruthless hand to suppress the local forces, and the Tianhong forces were forced to leave there."
Later, Qingge and Hongmen also tried to infiltrate Tianhong when they retreated, but the result was the same as Tianhong, and they had to dispel this idea under the vigorous suppression of the government, but the geographical location there was extremely important, and the three parties' own forces could not infiltrate, but they also did not allow the other two forces to infiltrate.
In the end, the three forces reached a tacit understanding, and no one took the lead in fighting for the place of Anhai City, so Anhai City has not had the power of the three major organizations to penetrate it for decades, so there are various large and small forces, and finally there is your current Longtang dominating Anhai, a dominant pattern.
After listening to this, Yang Jiekai secretly said in his heart that he was lucky!
In the past, he was really a frog at the bottom of the well, and he thought he was amazing when he dominated Anhai City, but now he knows that the luck component accounts for most of it, if any of the three major organizations in Anhai City were among them at that time, I am afraid that Longtang's fate will be very miserable.
"The old gentleman showed me today." Yang Jiekai said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
The old man was happy and said, "Don't be too modest, although Longtang is still very young, both in terms of numbers and economy, it is still very weak, but it does not mean that it is weak, at least, your intelligence agency Feng Group has already infiltrated my building, haha." ”
When Yang Jiekai heard this, his old face turned red, and he hurriedly denied it: "What the old gentleman said, the younger generation doesn't understand. ”
The old man laughed and said, "Those new female college students from the company's personnel department, should I call them up to meet you?" ”
Yang Jiekai saw that the other party's evidence was ironclad and could not continue to deny it, his old face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand awkwardly and said: "Hehe, no need, I will let them resign from you when I turn around, hehe." ”
In the end, Yang Jiekai asked a question in his heart, and also had the meaning of changing the topic, and said: "The old gentleman just said that the sky red split, what's going on?" ”
When the old man heard this, his face suddenly froze, and after half a sound, he let out a long sigh and said, "Hehe, it seems that the time has come to get down to business, and the question you asked is the reason why I came to you." ”
"Oh?" Yang Jiekai was puzzled, "Does the Tianhong split have anything to do with our Dragon Hall?" ”
The old man waved his hand and said, "Listen to me slowly." ”
When Yang Jiekai on the side heard this, he immediately felt sleepy, is it that when people get old, they have to say everything slowly? ’
"Three years ago, the fifteenth generation of my Tianhong head died suddenly, the cause of death is still unknown, because the situation is too sudden, and someone is in the way, Tianhong suddenly chaos, Hongmen and Qingge took advantage of this gap to launch a large-scale attack on Tianhong."
"Although Tianhong is in chaos, it is just for their respective rights and status in Tianhong, but their loyalty to Tianhong has always been the same, and all forces have resisted, and finally for the sake of the overall situation, they are divided into two resistance forces, one is the one I am leading now, and the other is led by a person named Lin Tianwang."
"After a fight to the death, Qingge and Hongmen Mingjin withdrew their troops, but Tianhong immediately began to have civil strife, first the two forces disagreed, several negotiations were unhappy, and finally developed into some small-scale friction, to last year, the other party suddenly launched a large-scale attack on my various halls, we fought back, both sides have their own victories and defeats, the other party in order to prove that they are Tianhong orthodoxy, renamed Nanhong, since then, Tianhong officially divided into two."
After listening to this, Yang Jiekai thought about it for a while, then guessed a rough idea, and said with a faint smile: "So you began to draw in all forces to deal with Nanhong, including our Longtang." ”
When the old man heard this, he secretly praised in his heart, a good mind, but he continued: "What you said may not be completely right, first, we want to deal with Nanhong, but it is not a solicitation for you, but cooperation." Second, we are not trying to win over all forces, I Tianhong only found your Longtang family as an ally. ”
"Oh?" The old man's words made Yang Jiekai a little confused, and he wondered: "If you find us in Anhai City, I may be able to figure it out, but in Beihai, our Longtang is just a small character in the suburbs, why did you find us?" ”
The old man was stunned, then suddenly laughed and said, "Don't enter the stream? Young man, you are too modest, you can just enter Beihai, you can eat an important hall of Nanhong in the Beidi Club, beat the Rat King and flee in embarrassment, and then soon after, you killed the King of Sheep, and for a period of time, quickly integrated the eastern suburbs into the only Longtang family, can such an organization be called unpopular? ”
Yang Jiekai didn't feel anything about the old man's appreciation, he had already looked down on these ethereal things since he was a child, and his appreciation for the other party could only be regarded as perfume, just smell it, if you take it too seriously, it will kill you!
For the old man's words, Yang Jiekai was only interested in what he said just now about the "Rat King" and "Sheep King", which made Yang Jiekai a little confused.
