Chapter 362: Consultation
"There will be hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the Red Flower Society, and in an instant, three provinces have been connected, and now there are six provinces!" , Tianjing Zen Master smiled bitterly and shook his head, "My Heaven and Earth Association has been operating in Guangdong for longer than the time when the Red Flower Society started, and I have worked hard for so many years but I haven't even occupied a mansion, and the head-on confrontation is definitely not the opponent of the Red Flower Society." ”
"Could it be that the foundation I have worked so hard for many years is handed over to the Red Flower Society for nothing? I don't believe that the Red Flower Society is all three-headed and six-armed, and with our martial arts, we can't stop them? Fang Shiyu was young and vigorous, and said indignantly.
"No matter how good the martial arts are, they are not of much use on the battlefield, have you forgotten when Bai Zhen led people to burn down the Shaolin Temple, and I fled in embarrassment?" , Chief Hong Xi sighed, "The abbot in the temple, the first seat, and so many uncles, that martial arts are not higher than us, but can you fight back under the volley of muskets and bows and arrows of the army?" ”
"My Heaven and Earth Society has tried to drive out the Tartars and restore the Han people since the Kangxi period, but nearly a hundred years have passed, and there is still not much improvement!" Seeing that Fang Shiyu's anger had subsided, Hong Xiguan continued to persuade earnestly, "And the rise of the Red Flower Society is only about 20 years, although it has been powerful in the rivers and lakes in the first ten years, there is not much to do about the Tartars, but since Chen Jialuo took over as the chief helmsman five years ago, it has become more and more prosperous day by day, and it has occupied the land of six provinces in just five years, which has to be admired." ”
"Earlier, I was thinking about persuading Mr. Chen to use his relationship with Qianlong to oppose the Qing Dynasty, but he rejected it cleanly, judging from the current situation, the old man is short-sighted!" , Tianjing also echoed.
"Shiyu, even if it's not for yourself, you should think about these brothers. The brothers of the Tiandihui over there in Taiwan are living a good life now! That Lin Tianhong is now the prefect, if you want to fight with the Tartars, presumably Chief Chen will also give you this opportunity! Hong Xiguan put the future of the subordinates of the Heaven and Earth Society in front of him.
In the future, when the Red Flower Society's army is overwhelmed, these martial arts masters may still have a chance to escape. The congregations below probably didn't have such good luck. As soon as he thought of this, Fang Shiyu was disheartened, waved his hand and said, "That's it, everything will be done according to the will of Zen Master and Brother Hong!" ”
Tianjing Zen Master and Hong Xiguan glanced at each other, and finally it was Tianjing Zen Master who said, "Lao Wei and Na Chen Helmsman still have a little friendship, so let me go through this!" ”
After the discussion was completed, Zen Master Tianjing immediately hurried to Fujian. Tired and lying down several horses, he finally arrived in Fuzhou in three days.
When I arrived in Fuzhou, I found an inn to wash up, and then meditated to nourish my spirits, and then went to the headquarters of the Red Flower Society, and reported my name at the door, and after a while, Lu Feiqing greeted him, "The Zen master is polite, please come inside!" ”
"Thank you Lu!" As soon as he took a few steps, Zen Master Tianjing couldn't help but ask, "Is Chief Helmsman Chen available today?" The poor monk has important matters to discuss with your council. ”
"The helmsman is taking care of military affairs. Discuss the battle plan for Guangdong with the people in the general staff, and if the Zen master is in a hurry, I will go in and report it! Lu Feiqing touched his beard and said.
"Then it's bothering Lu to be in charge! The poor monks are also related to Guangdong! Tianjing Zen Master folded his hands and saluted.
While talking, the two of them arrived at the living room, and after Lu Feiqing led Zen Master Tianjing to sit down, he ordered someone to bring tea and fast. Only then did he go to Chen Jialuo to explain the intention of the Zen Master of Tianjing.
"He wants to find a way out for the Heaven and Earth Society!" In his opinion, the Shaolin Temple with the suicide note of Yu Wanting is the same as the Jingnian Zen Temple with the jade seal of the country, all of which are trying to seek benefits for their sect in the chaos of the world; If you are a monk, you can become a monk, and don't get involved in politics.
"Heaven and earth will be big trees with deep roots after all. If it can be recovered, it will be very good for my safflower! Lu Feiqing saw that Chen Jialuo was sarcastic, and hurriedly persuaded.
"Thank you Third Brother Lu for mentioning it, the younger brother understands!" , I can cooperate with the Heaven and Earth Association in Taiwan and Nanyang, as long as their conditions are not too excessive, it is not that they cannot cooperate.
"Zen Master Tianjing, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are becoming more and more solemn!" , Looking at his sad face, Chen Jialuo couldn't help but say a stab.
"The old man is old, but the helmsman is still in style!" , The monks are all good-skinned, and the Tianjing Zen Master didn't care at all, but he knew that the fight in Guangdong had already started, and there was not much time left for him, so he didn't go around in circles and said directly, "Lao Qu is here to seek a way out for the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society in Guangdong!" ”
"Oh? What does Zen Master Tianjing mean is that I think how will my saffron arrange them? Chen Jialuo asked directly.
"Well, my Heaven and Earth Society currently occupies a lot of territory in northern Guangdong and western Guangxi, if the Red Flower Society is willing to hand over these mansions to my Heaven and Earth Society to manage."
"No way!" , Before he finished speaking, Chen Jialuo categorically refused, "One is that your Heaven and Earth Society only occupies a few small county towns, how many prefectures have the territory, and the other is not that when I was in Taiwan, my Red Flower Society did not hand over the prefectures and counties to your Heaven and Earth Society management, and you have all seen the consequences, the people are not as good as under the rule of the Tartars!" Besides, sooner or later, my safflower society will unify the world, how will your heaven and earth deal with itself at that time? Do you occupy these provinces and set yourself up as kings? ”
The Tianjing Zen Master who said this paragraph was speechless, after all, what the people of the Taiwan Tiandi Association did at the beginning were indeed not very authentic, and besides, even if they really gave them a few mansions, what could they do? Sooner or later, it will be taken back by the Red Flower Society!
"Hey, I don't think you know what to do!" , Chen Jialuo shook his head and said, "According to my meaning, let's deal with it according to the disposal method of the Taiwan Heaven and Earth Society, the safflower who wants to go home to farm will be given land, and those who want to be soldiers can become soldiers through the screening of the Red Language Society, are you leaders like Lin Tianhong have an official position!" If you don't want to submit to my Red Flower Society, you can go to Nanyang, Cochin, and Siam, and my Red Flower Society will send a sum of money, as well as knives, guns and weapons, and how much territory you have laid in those places will be yours! ”
"As for Guangdong, when we attack, if you want to help, you can help, if you don't want to help, hide far away, just don't make trouble for us! If we find out that you are doing bad work in the back, don't blame me, the Red Flower Society will be ruthless! The little power of the Heaven and Earth Society was not taken into account by Chen Jialuo.
"Hey!" , Tianjing Zen Master sighed, his efforts in the past few years have been in vain, but what can he do if he doesn't follow? (To be continued......)
