Chapter 31: Strength Rises from the Earth (1)

Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, died of illness, and the news quickly spread throughout the actual control area of the Yongli court. Yunnan, Guizhou, southern Hunan, Guangxi, and Sichuan, where Liu Wenxiu's death is still highly anticipated. This is also indispensable in Guangxi, when Guo Zhiqi saw that newspaper, he almost couldn't believe his eyes.

"Although the internal troubles are removed, the external worries are thorny, and the one who serves me is a wild goose, and one of the two tigers is killed and injured to fight bravely; And I am singing in the leaky boat, sleeping on the accumulated salary, can I do it overnight? The two kings are also old in the military, and Hu Yi vented the same. ”

At the beginning, just after the successful suppression of the rebellion, the courtier Jin Jian had been like this, and Guo Zhiqi had heard about it and was full of agreement. Starting from reality, and even from the hindsight of the future, before the counterinsurgency, the Ming court was in danger, and after the counterinsurgency, it was just a sigh of relief, but what it was about to face was a greater crisis.

The more moments like this, the more necessary it is to unite and go all out to meet the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, in the face of such a situation, the two kings who were still united and intimate when Sun Kewang was in the morning caused such a tragedy.

Liu Wenxiu's death was never as simple as a person dying alone, which meant that the drastic changes in the court had an unimaginable impact on the Ming court. Especially those soldiers and soldiers of the Shu Palace, how should they deal with themselves, tens of thousands of troops, a mistake is likely to be the result of the earth-shattering. And now, Li Dingguo's differential treatment of Sun Kewang's old ministry in Yunnan made Guo Zhiqi even more uneasy.

"After leaving Liangguang, the once broad-minded Li Dingguo seems to have died, and now he is too wanton."

Dissatisfaction in his heart is dissatisfaction, in this case, Guo Zhiqi will never dare to put it into his mouth, but just in his heart, it is enough for him to sigh again and again. However, no matter how much sighing he has, he can't get Liu Wenxiu's life back, and it can't offset the huge crisis that the Ming court is about to face. Now, there's not much he can do.

Once he thought of this, Guo Zhiqi couldn't help but sigh again. It's just that after this sigh, after pondering for a long time, he raised his eyelids again, he had already returned to his usual old age, and then began to rummage through the documents and notes on the case, and soon found what he was looking for.

The envelope was still folded in the envelope, and it was only pulled out and read once that it was stuffed back in, and if it were not for the wax seal, there would have been a letter even if it had not been touched.

Guo Zhiqi found the letter, and the finger that drew the letter bag paused for a moment at the envelope that was like the mouth of a beast, and then reached in, pulled out the letter bag, and while reading it again, he studied the ink, thinking carefully about how to reply. It was only when it was time to put pen to paper that he still hesitated for a moment before putting the idea of rethinking it into writing.

The ink followed the vertical and horizontal of the tip of the pen on the paper, crossed the control area of the Ming Dynasty in the two broad places, and was directly sent to the front of the case in Chen Kai's office in the yamen of the governor of Guangdong. It's a pity that Chen Kai is not here at this time.

Hong Kong, Honghua Pavilion, Guangdong, Southern Jiangxi, Jiangxi, Fujian Tiandi Club member representatives gathered here. This kind of conference is the first time since the establishment of the Heaven and Earth Society, and Chen Kai, as the convener, naturally has to be present in person to preside over the meeting. And the convening of this meeting is the result of Chen Kai's careful consideration.

Speaking of which, the Heaven and Earth Association has been established for many years, and at first it was only to develop latent personnel in Southern Jiangxi and Jiangxi, waiting for later moves. In Guangdong and Fujian, it is only to develop with some trustworthy and close people, nothing more.

Such a layout, according to Chen Kai's power at that time, was actually very abnormal. However, what he needs to consider is not only the development and growth of the Heaven and Earth Society, but also the relationship between him and the Zheng Group, or how he should deal with himself in the Zheng Group, so he does it. When the Ming army regained Southern Jiangxi on a large scale, the Heaven and Earth Society actively cooperated, which was considered to be in the forefront, but it also led to the exposure of the Fujian Heaven and Earth Society.

The exposure directly led to the emergence of a rift, and this rift was not bridged until the Dutch were worried about the Zheng Group's big again, so they concocted it in the same way. However, another result of the exposure is that Chen Kai can officially put it on the surface, just like it is now, justifiably.

The Red Flower Pavilion is the headquarters of the Heaven and Earth Society, which Chen Kai has already approved in the previous meeting. At this time, the huge conference hall was full, and most of them came from various prefectures and counties in Guangdong. Not to mention, although the rudder of the Guangdong Tiandihui is the latest to be established in these four places, it is the most rapidly developing. Today, the number of members of the Tiandihui of Guangdong nationality alone is infinitely close to the sum of the other three places, not to mention that there are still a large number of officials from Fujian who have joined the Guangdong Tiandihui Branch, and they have made the total number of members of the Guangdong Branching Helm exceed the sum of the three places.

"The ancients said that the king of Chu has a thin waist, and many people in the city starve to death.

"It's just that I don't know how many people here sincerely agree with the concept of the Heaven and Earth Society."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we can defeat the Manchus. As for the future, if we can't even defeat the Manchu Qing, then there will be no future to speak of, and we don't need to worry about things that are not ideal. ”

The conference is about to take place, and members are attending. Among them, there were invited representatives, and there was no shortage of people who came to observe. Of course, only members of the Heaven and Earth Club are still not allowed to enter.

Before they reached the rostrum, Chen Kai and Kuang Lu could already see clearly on the second floor of the conference hall. The members below are seated, and the representatives naturally sit according to the names of their places of origin posted on their seats, but the auditorium is different, just like the general meeting of the Guangdong Business Alliance, which is basically seated according to their respective places of origin. At this time, at a glance, the audit members in Guangdong almost all the auditor seats are full, they are well aware of the inside situation, and they know very well that this is not just a building near the water, but more importantly, the number of people in the Guangdong Tiandi Association is indeed large.

It's just that there are too many people, there must be a mixture, Kuang Lu is worried about whether he is like-minded, but Chen Kai doesn't care, at least at this stage, he doesn't think it's a problem.

By the auspicious time, the members had already gathered, and Chen Kai stepped onto the rostrum, when even a thunderous applause resounded through the venue, even outside the venue, it could be clearly heard.

In front of them, they are not only the founder and chief helmsman of this Heaven and Earth Society, but also the Wenchen who has the most powerful power to turn the tide since the death of Jiashen in the Ming Dynasty. It was he, when the great counteroffensive in the sixth year of Yongli finally ended in an incomplete achievement, with the strength of one person, he successively assisted Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo, two famous generals of the country, to recover the two provinces one after another within a year, and then did not fall behind in the contest with Hong Chengchou.

Whether others admit it or not, it is obvious that Chen Kai has become an existence that cannot be ignored by the Manchu Qing and anti-Qing forces today, and every move he makes directly or indirectly affects the fate of the country. And they, now standing in the same trench as him, are fighting side by side!

Most of the members present had never seen Chen Kai in person, especially those who were auditing, and many of them came to see Chen Kai's demeanor. At this moment, the meeting has not officially begun, but it has already made them feel that the trip is worthwhile, because the power of the Heaven and Earth Society has already revealed the tip of the iceberg in this applause.

The applause lasted for a long time, and finally gradually fell silent under Chen Kai's signal. The venue soon became audible, and every member was waiting for Chen Kai's speech, waiting for what kind of tricks Chen Kai had, whether it was for the Heaven and Earth Society, or for the anti-Qing cause they are now devoting themselves to.

In the opening remarks, Chen Kai did not talk too much nonsense as usual, but praised the exploits of the Heaven and Earth Society during the recovery of Southern Jiangxi and the efforts of the Guangdong rudder in the Consultative Bureau. It's his habit, straight to the point. And the topic of the conference today, he didn't even think of hiding it, and took it out directly after the opening remarks.

"The Heaven and Earth Association has been born for many years, from the initial dozens of members serving in Fujian and Guangdong, lurking in Jiang and Jiangxi, to today, our Heaven and Earth Association has more than 1,300 full members and more than 300 reserve members. We did our best for the imperial court and the royal division in Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Southern Jiangxi, and fought to the death against the Tartars. Among them, many members have died for their country. And they are just one step ahead, if Huaxia can't escape the fate of the world, then we must follow in the footsteps of the heroes, and I, Chen Kai, should be the first! ”

After the generous speech, there was another thunderous applause. Chen Kai paused for a moment and continued his speech: "The Heaven and Earth Society has developed for many years, and we have a large number of members and probationary members in these three provinces and four places, who have done their best and made great contributions to the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty. However, our organization is still not perfect, and in many cases we cannot maximize our strength. Therefore, I, Chen Kai, as the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, am determined to further improve the organizational model of the Heaven and Earth Society. β€œ

"From today onwards, the Heaven and Earth Association will set up a general altar in the Honghua Pavilion in Hong Kong, that is, in the place where it is located, and set up branches in each province, a hall in each province, and a branch hall in each county, which will be distributed according to the place of origin and place of work. The main altar, the rudder, the hall and the branch hall are vertically managed, and there are executive directors at all levels who are responsible for managing daily affairs, and the executive directors are elected by election, and any full member has the right to vote and be elected. Unless, in the case of gross negligence, the penalty of suspension of rights. ”

Chen Kai's loud voice announced that the Heaven and Earth Society was about to take that step across the times. Compared with the previous ones, the Tiandi Society in Guangdong and Fujian is responsible for the overall management of all work with the rudder at the provincial level, and all members are directly connected with the rudder, which is undoubtedly extremely inefficient due to the speed of the road and the flow of information. However, from today onwards, with the administrative unit as the level, hierarchical management, and the system of exercising the executive director to manage daily affairs, each level can be vertically connected, from the main altar to the counties, from the branch halls of each county to the members of the county to distribute tasks, and the energy of the entire Heaven and Earth Society will achieve a greater explosion.

In addition, according to the election method of Chen Kai's executive director, all members will be eligible to enter the power center, whether it is the standing council at all levels, or the general altar of the Red Flower Pavilion, or even the chief helmsman of Chen Kai, as long as they can defeat Chen Kai in the election, they can also win the throne. This will undoubtedly be a good thing for every member.

"In addition, in the branch halls of each county, groups are divided according to the number and distribution of members, as well as the actual needs of work, production, study, etc., so as to facilitate the specific organization, promotion and guidance of the daily activities of each member, and ensure that the instructions and resolutions of the general altar can be implemented."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of our establishment of the Heaven and Earth Society is to realize the great cause of rejuvenating China. In this day, we must do our best to reverse the fate of this ruined country and the world! ”
