Before entering Beijing, Chen Muyang also had an important task, that is, to investigate Meng Yingchun's whereabouts, according to the news on the right side, since the change in Zhengzhou, Meng Yingchun has escorted the Empress Dowager Shen to return to the rivers and lakes, and wanted to live the rest of his life quietly, but he didn't want Li Quanzhong to chase after the boat gang, with a fierce face of killing everything.

After Ming Dongwang, the actual head of the boat gang and the military advisor, was arrested, he could not endure torture and defection, and confessed all the secrets of the boat gang.

Meng Yingchun used to be the deputy of Hu Yuchun, one of the fourteen leaders of the boat gang, Hu Yuchun's family has a big business, he doesn't care about the small profits of the boat gang, he is kind to people in the boat gang, the relationship between all parties is good, and the reputation is very high. Meng Yingchun's market is also rising, and he is very optimistic.

Now that Zhufang is scattered, no one can take the lead, and Meng Yingchun's special status suddenly becomes prominent.

The intelligence on the right compartment shows that Meng Yingchun rebuilt the boat gang with the support of Meng Lian, the only remaining master, and set up the gate in the territory of Hezhong Mansion.

Chen Muyang has been in the right compartment for many years, looking for someone to have his own set, and he is willing to spend money, and soon got a clue: there is a Xifeng Mountain in Baoding County, Hezhong Prefecture, which has recently been occupied by a group of strongmen from Henan.

The leader of this gang of strongmen is said to be a woman, and the military advisor is a scar-faced man.

Chen Muyang went south this time to establish the Jinjuanyuan, one of the major functions of the Jinjuanyuan is to collect the political trends of the capital for the feudal town, there are many things happening in the capital every day, which things are valuable, which ones do not need to be paid attention to, the master of the Jinjuan Academy must have a rod and scale in his heart, and he knows the present from the past, if he wants to understand today's more deeply, he must spend more time to understand today's past and learn from the history of the past.

For this reason, Chen Muyang has gone through all the major events that have occurred in the political arena in Beijing in the past 30 years, focusing on the people and events in the past ten years, and the most important thing is locked in the last five years.

Four years ago, the crown prince Li Ning died of a violent illness, and the cause of death is unknown. The following year, King Li You changed his name to Li Heng and was canonized as the crown prince. Around the canonization of the new prince, the two major forces in the DPRK and China carried out a desperate struggle, Li Heng's biological mother Guo Guifei united with the relatives and nobles in the court, and bribed Qiu Shiliang, Wang Shoucheng, Liang Shouqian and other forbidden real power factions, and finally defeated Tutu Chenghuang with one move, snatched the crown prince throne from Li Yun, the king of Yan, and degraded Tutu Chenghuang to the end.

Before the smoke of the fierce battle of the royal family dissipated, an earth-shattering event occurred in Chang'an City.

The Moyun Tower, which is operated by the Four Seas Club, suddenly caught fire overnight, and when the nearby soldiers and civilians rushed to the rescue, they were obstructed by a group of unknown black-clothed people, allowing the five-story building, known as the "First Building of Chang'an", to be burned to the ground.

It is rumored that Xiang Zhongguo, the great leader of the Four Seas Society, was upstairs to entertain guests that night, but he was not seen coming out when the fire started, and there was no news of him after the fire was extinguished.

The Four Seas Society had no leader, and there was fierce infighting, and finally under the mediation of Zhong Lian, the leader of the "Brown Jinwu", each faction suspended its troops and elected a new leader, which ended the chaos that shook the two capitals.

The Four Seas Society is the premier secret gang in Chang'an, controlling the huge underground society in Chang'an, and has a continuous connection with the pro-nobles in the DPRK, because the scale is too large, there are many factions in the gang, and behind each powerful faction there is the shadow of the pro-nobles in the DPRK and China, and the complex changes in the Sihaihui indirectly reflect the ups and downs of the power of the court.

After all, the court is too high, and it is not easy to see clearly, so the Four Seas Club has become a special window to spy on the changes in the court.

Chen Muyang paid close attention to this window, he had a clear grasp of the development of the Four Seas Association in the past 30 years, and he had made in-depth research on the backgrounds of several big leaders.

Xiang Zhongguo is a low-key and cautious person, he was burned to death in his own industry, Chen Muyang thought it was unlikely, which of these gangsters is not the best of the best, and the first thing to do in any place is to find a good way out, which is so easy to be burned to death.

Sure enough, there was news soon that Xiang Zhongguo was not buried in the fire, but escaped from the secret passage under the desperate escort of a thousand brothers, but he was disfigured in the fire house, seriously injured, and in a coma for seven days and seven nights.

Chen Muyang therefore suspected that the scar-faced military advisor on Xifeng Mountain was Xiang Zhongguo, he had no evidence, only intuition.

Li Mao once told him that Meng Yingchun was a very smart and ambitious person, and it was not strange that she came out to pack up the boat and help, but after all, she was still young, had little experience in the rivers and lakes, had little qualifications, and was a woman.

The gangs on the rivers and lakes pay the same attention to seniority as the officialdom, and even more so than the officialdom.

Meng Yingchun came forward to clean up the boat gang, she had more than enough heart but not enough strength, it was impossible to succeed, if she succeeded, there would be a master behind her, and this person had a special identity and a considerable status in the rivers and lakes, so he could help her calm the scene.

Who is this person, Guan Mountain is far away, Li Mao doesn't know, but it will never be Meng Lian, if Meng Lian has the ability to hold the boat gang, he will not bother Meng Yingchun A little woman to go out of the mountain.

Chen Muyang therefore boldly speculated that this behind-the-scenes master was Xiang Zhongguo, the former boss of the Four Seas Society.

The Boat Gang and the Four Seas Society were originally divided from one side, and did not communicate with each other, Liu Pi rebelled at the beginning of the Yuan and the Imperial Court, and the imperial court conquest of Xichuan, Li Mao was ordered to go to Luoyang to transfer grain into the Guanzhong, he first subdued the Boat Gang with a strategy, and became the boss of the Boat Gang, and under his matchmaking, let the Boat Gang and the Four Seas Society turn enemies into friends, and became partners, ensuring that the military rations were transported into the Guanzhong in a timely manner, and ensuring the continuation of the Battle of Xichuan.

After the two factions tasted the sweetness of joining forces, they got closer and closer, and faintly had the momentum of dominating the river Luoshan River.

Li Mao later reflected that he had taken a bad move at that time, the Four Seas Association was the largest gang in Chang'an, and the boat gang had 100,000 people in Luoyang and Bianzhou, controlling the lifeline of Caoyun in the south to Guanzhong, so that the two powerful gangs joined forces, and it was a threat to anyone, not only the government, but even the super predator Zhaowu Jiu surnamed Zhaowu who was entrenched in the Heluo area would also feel panic.

So someone brought up the old matter again, turned over the case of the Empress Dowager Shen, and it was tense as soon as it came up, and there was no room for turning around. So Li Mao killed the angel and let go of the old queen mother, and Li Quanzhong spared no effort to fight for the country.

At that time, Li Mao still hated the ruthlessness of the Son of Heaven, and when he looked back after many days, he suddenly realized that he, Li Chun, and Li Quanzhong were actually used as chess pieces that day, and they just used this to break the alliance between the Boat Gang and the Four Seas Society.

The person who can use the Son of Heaven as a pawn is not ordinary, and it is not surprising that Xiang Zhongguo, who is involved in the whirlpool, will be ruined.

If Li Mao's reflection is true—and Chen Muyang thinks it is true, at least the general direction is correct—then after Xiang Zhongguo is in trouble, it is logical to go incognito to assist a scheming, but ambitious little woman, his opponent is too strong, and he can't take revenge on his own, helping Meng Yingchun revive the boat gang and seeking justice from his persecutors, which is in line with his identity as a generation of heroes.

Chen Muyang finally went up to Xifeng Mountain with great difficulty, and met him with a young woman with arms thicker than his calves, a very loud voice, and a gangster, the woman claimed to be the owner of the village, but Chen Muyang only concluded that this person was a parallel import, so he didn't want to talk to her more, and insisted on seeing the real owner of the village.

The woman slapped the case and lifted the table, and her big fist shook in front of Chen Muyang, intimidating in every way, but Chen Muyang was unmoved.

When the quarrel was in full swing, a little woman with a delicate face, a thin physique, and a fierce face walked out, her face was similar to that of Meng Yingchun described by Li Mao, and her complexion was also a healthy bronz, and her gestures showed that she was the master here.

Chen Muyang no longer doubted, took out Li Mao's letter and presented it, the woman read it, hesitated for a moment, reprimanded the left and right, personally gave up her seat, served tea, and asked: "Brother Mao, everything is fine." ”

Chen Muyang put down a stone in his heart, judged it accurately, and did not toss this trip in vain.

Chen Muyang briefly introduced the situation in Liaodong and Li Mao's recent situation, and asked Meng Yingchun very strangely why he was here, Meng Yingchun recalled the days after crossing the river from Zhengzhou, it was an unbearable time, although many years have passed, so far in retrospect, I still can't help but feel emotional, such a strong woman, when it comes to sadness, I can't help crying.

The leader of the boat gang was wiped out by Li Quanzhong, and the various factions killed each other, and in the end, everyone was tired of killing, so they sat down to negotiate again, and decided to end the infighting and put forward a new boss, but no one could believe the red-eyed parties, Meng Lian found her, hoping that she could take the lead.

At that time, Meng Yingchun had already settled down in Taiyuan, took Qian Duoduo and a lot of people, and supported the Empress Dowager Shen in the countryside.

The first time she refused, the second time she let Meng Lian eat the closed door, but the boat gang did not stop, one after another came, which alarmed the local government for a while, Meng Yingchun was worried that her identity would be exposed, and decided to go away, it was the Empress Dowager Shen who peeked through her heart and persuaded her to go out of the mountain to clean up the mess.

She negotiated the conditions with the boat gang, and still served Li Mao as the chief leader, and she was a military advisor, as for why she arranged this way, she never mentioned it to anyone, only said that she had her own reasons, and this condition was not difficult to agree, at that time Li Mao had already played the banner of the envoy in Liaodong, not only washed away the notoriety of traitors and thieves, but also made a town marshal, such an identity as the head of the boat gang, and it was the boat gang that was naked, and he was originally the head of the boat gang, and the children of the rivers and lakes talked about the word "loyalty" the most, and the gang leader was not at fault, so there was no reason to fire people.

At the beginning, Meng Yingchun's life was not easy, with her qualifications and ability, it was indeed a bit laborious to subdue so many reckless men, Meng Lian pushed her to the position of military advisor, the reason was that he himself had a bad reputation and couldn't win people, instead of sincerely convincing Meng Yingchun, seeing that the overall situation was gradually stabilizing, he had more small actions behind his back, and he didn't make trouble for Meng Yingchun.

Just when Meng Yingchun was exhausted and at a loss, she met her nobleman, Xiang Zhongguo, the former boss of the Four Seas Society, who was down-and-out and had no food and clothing. After the boss lived in seclusion, he couldn't swallow this bad breath, so he went incognito, pretended to be a beggar and threw himself under Meng Yingchun's door, and soon became Meng Yingchun's military advisor.

Under the guidance of Xiang Zhongguo, Meng Yingchun quickly entered the role, disposed of Meng Lian by thunderbolt means, subdued the opposition forces in the gang, and sat firmly on the throne of the army division.

Meng Yingchun has also transformed from an innocent, a little cautious, but simple girl to a tycoon who commands the heroes and commands tens of thousands of people today.
