Hongmen is a kind of anti-Qing organization established in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the specific source is Duozhong saying, but the earliest is Zheng Chenggong's founding in Taiwan, which is Jintai Mountain and Mingyuan Hall. There were more than 4,000 subordinates, and later they spread out and developed from Fujian to all parts of the country.

There are many famous generals respected by Hongmen, such as the great Confucian Gu Yanwu, Wenzong, Shi Kefa, Wuzong, Zheng Chenggong, Xuanzong, Chen Jinnan, etc., all with the purpose of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Due to the Qing government's vigorous suppression, some Hongmen organizations changed their names and surnames, such as the Lin Shuangwen Uprising in the Qing Dynasty, the Shanghai Xiaodaohui Uprising, and the Liangguang Hongmen Uprising. There are also the Heaven and Earth Society, the White Lotus Sect, the Triad Society, the Boxer Rebellion, the Elder Brotherhood, the Red Flower Society, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom God Worship Society led by Hong Xiuquan are all branches of Hongmen.

At that time, Zuo Zongtang led his troops to conquer Xinjiang, set off from Hankou to Xi'an, and one day suddenly saw his army automatically assemble and did not listen to orders, lined up more than ten miles long, and asked the reason. A: Meet the big dragon head. Zuo Zongtang had no choice but to join the gang in order to control the army.

Later, when Sun Yat-sen, the father of the nation, was introduced to the association by the leader of the triad in Honolulu, the United States, and opened the mountain, reorganized the Zhigong Hall, and founded the Xingzhonghui, which was named Continental Mountain. Transfer all the members of the Alliance to Hongmen.

In the Xinhai Revolution, nine of the ten uprisings led by Sun Yat-sen were mediated by members of the Hongmen Society. Brother Hongmen shed his blood and went forward one after another, and finally overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty, but also paid a heavy price.

Jianhu Woman Qiu Jin, she is the eldest sister of the white fan in the Hongmen.

General Huang Xing, who led the Guangzhou Uprising, was also a Hongmen tycoon.

Tao Chengzhang, the founder of the Restoration Society, is the deputy leader of Hangzhou Zhongnan Mountain.

There are 72 martyrs in Huanghuagang, including 68 Hongmen warriors.

Tan Renfeng, one of the leaders of the Xinhai Revolution, wrote: "The success of the revolution was planted in the Hongmen Hui Party 200 years ago."

"At the beginning of the movement, only the Hongmen brothers could keep secrets. After the launch, only the Hongmen brothers could listen to the command. ”。

"No matter how far or near people are, no matter how dangerous things are, everyone is brave, everyone takes the lead, there is the Wuchang uprising, the provinces respond, and the republic is completed in a few months, and the merit of the army is also the merit of the Hongmen brothers."

……

Along the way, You Fei introduced Hongmen allusions and internal secrets, and Li Ling, who listened to it, was so fascinated that Li Ling was pestered by Li Ling to ask questions about his meals and sleep. You Fei complained bitterly, in order to learn martial arts, he was soft and hard against Li Ling, but now it is the other way around.

The two drove a carriage and stayed day and night. The Hongmen brothers are all over the world, sometimes they live in the store, and they don't spend a penny, You Fei just gestures and says all kinds of incisions, and after saying all kinds of incisions, they are treated as guests without knowing each other. Li Ling's heart was surging, the more he knew about Hongmen, the more curious he became, and he couldn't wait to join the gang immediately, fortunately, You Fei took him to meet the uncle of Neibatang this time, and it was likely that he would open the incense hall and hold a gang joining ceremony.

There are many branches of Hongmen, most of them are named after mountains, and their department is Chunbao Mountain, Justice Hall. The general rudder is in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, which is the mountain hall opened by Ren Chunshan and Xu Baoshan in that year, and each takes two people.

Li Ling muttered to himself, it turned out that the mountain master was two, and there was one with the same name as the master. I didn't expect that Sun Yat-sen, who was making a lot of noise in Guangzhou in the south, was also a brother of Hongmen, and the eldest brother Li Yantang went to join him and entered the Whampoa Military Academy. If Sun Yat-sen had fought the world, wouldn't it have been Brother Hongmen who would have done the country. Suddenly thought of something, and said: "Brother You and Brother Shentu specially attacked the Japanese some time ago, did they act on the orders of the eldest brother of the Hongmen Dragon?" ”

You Fei hesitated, and said a little nervously: "This matter has nothing to do with Shantang, and you don't have to mention it in the future, the consequences of this kind of thing are quite serious." ”

Li Ling nodded, of course he knew that the stakes were high, thinking that he would be wanted by the government and even handed over to the Japanese consulate if he just injured a Japanese businessman in Jinan City. And the two of them actually killed a few Japanese, and it is known how sensational it is, but they admire the chivalrous courage of the two even more. I secretly made up my mind that I would never leak half a word to the outside world.

The interior of the Hongmen is strictly hierarchical. A mountain hall is divided into eight halls according to their duties. There are rules in front of Hongmen, and only by climbing step by step from the old man can he become the master of the mountain, that is, the leading uncle. The levels of Hongmen Mountain Hall are as follows:

o Mountain Lord; Or called the "village owner" and "dragon head" uncle. Guangdong is also known as "big row" and "grandma".

o Deputy Mountain Owner; Or known as the "deputy village master" and "deputy leader" uncle

*Inner Eight Halls (All Inner Eight Halls are "Kyoto Officials")

o fragrant long; Or the main incense person when the "holy church" uncle opened the incense hall was the guest secretary. In some places, it is called "white fan".

o Alliance; Or called the oath of the "middle hall" when the uncle opened the incense hall, he was a guest.

o Sitting; Or the "left phase" uncle is in charge of cottage affairs.

o Companion Hall; Or the "right phase" uncle assists in managing the affairs of the cottage.

o Yinfeng; "Silver Phoenix" Seventh Sister.

o Xian brand; The eight masters of the "virtuous brand" registered their merits and demerits, and divided the town and the mountain to guard the mountain.

o Eguta; "Jiangkou" nine master management personnel and promotion, and the sub-inspection mouth oblique mouth guards.

o Mo Man; "Mo Man" uncle or "Yuanmen", the soldiers in charge of miscellaneous chores, and the general law enforcement Yuanmen, the big and the small, the small and the small full of copper medals and iron seals.

When Li Ling heard that there were so many positions, the organizational form was modeled after Liang Shanbo, and the order was named after "mountain", so he understood that Hongmen was indeed an underground organization that overthrew the Qing government, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is Brother You's position?" ”

You Fei's old face turned red, and he said with some embarrassment: "I haven't been a member for a few years, and now I'm still an old forty-nine, which is what people call Ma Zai." However, with my credit, I can have been promoted a long time ago, so I will ask Uncle Guan Tang when I go back this time.

"What about Brother Shentu?"

"Brother Shentu is the master of the Inner Eight Halls of Torture, and he is in charge of the power of life and death in the entire mountain hall, and everyone is silent about him. Whoever violates the rules of the gang will not escape his justice. ”

"As long as you don't break the rules."

"You can promise not to commit any crimes? Hongmen 36 oaths, 21 prohibitions, 10 punishments. If you're not careful, you can get three cuts and six holes. ”

……

Passing by Teng County on this day, Li Ling suddenly remembered the jade pendant that his master gave him for his betroth, and he also had an extra fiancée for no reason. immediately said to You Fei: "We should be safe now." When I left Jinan City, my master once said that there was an old friend's family in Teng County, and if we were not in a hurry, how about visiting? You Fei drove the carriage indifferently and said, "Teng County is the territory of the Green Gang, does your master have anything to do with the Green Gang?" ”

"Why did another Green Gang come out? I don't know much about the old man. ”

In order to deal with Hongmen, the Qing government deliberately supported the three people who defected from Hongmen and established the Qing Gang. The Qing Gang started as a Cao Yun and was generally close to both sides of the Grand Canal, but later due to the change of Cao Yun to sea transportation, the Qing Gang became a displaced people's organization in Shanghai, Tianjin and the treaty ports in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. ”

"It turned out to be a traitor, why didn't Hongmen clean up the portal?" Li Ling hated the traitor the most, and that day in Jinan City, Shen Tianfu betrayed himself and was chopped by He Jiatang.

"The tail can't be reduced, those three people are familiar with the internal secrets of Hongmen, not to mention cleaning up the portal, Hongmen alone has suffered huge losses, and many heroes have died. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the 108 dock officials of the Qing Gang were killed by the Taiping army, and 56 were killed. In the end, an agreement was made, and all the Qinggang ships saw the Hongmen personnel, and all lowered their flags and tilted their heads, indicating that they were waving their heads and begging. By the way, Tan Ji Casino has a lot to do with the Jining Youth Gang, and it is because of their power that they were able to settle in Qingdao, and the person who recently besieged you is also a protégé of an old man of the Youth Gang in Jining Prefecture. ”

"The old man of Jining Mansion, hehe. Hang on to the account first, and then calculate later. The owner of Tan Ji Casino is indeed not a good thing, and the traitors of the Green Gang are mixed together, and the next time I return to Qingdao, I will help Hongmen clean up the periphery of the Green Gang. Li Ling said fiercely.

During the Hongmen and Yongzheng periods of the Qing Dynasty, the history was in the middle of the prosperous era of Kangqian, the politics were clear, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Within Hongmen, two kinds of thinking, "anti-Qing" and "Baoqing", appeared. The contradictions continued to intensify, and the "Baoqing" faction headed by Pershing officially broke away from Hongmen and established the Green Gang.

After the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, the Hongmen Qing Gang has lost its significance and value, and some bigwigs in the gang have taken advantage of the situation to develop their personal strength, and there is a big man in the Republic of China gang Zhang Jinghu in Teng County.

Zhang Jinghu, the grandfather of the Zhang family, once served as the commander of the 77th Mixed Brigade and the envoy of Tonghai Town (equivalent to the commander of the provincial military region in later generations). Garrisoned in Nantong, the jurisdiction includes Nantong Zhenru, Taizhou, Chongming, Qidong and coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and was awarded the title of "Army General".

Zhang Jinghu and Jianghuai were a combination of military and political power, he was generous and righteous, and never tabooed his background in the Youth Gang, and some military and political dignitaries, employees, business people, and local ruffians and hooligans all looked for ways to ask for introductions and worship him as a teacher. Later, there were too many disciples and grandchildren in the Jianghuai area, and Zhang Renkui no longer gave orders as a "town guard envoy," but simply handled political affairs in the name of the "grandfather" of the Qinggang -- because no matter the police station, the official office, or the chamber of commerce, the leading figures were all Zhang's disciples.

In Zhang Jinghu's hometown of Teng County, Shandong, its power is huge, and all kinds of relationships are even more complicated, known as the first in Teng County, of course, it is second to none in the entire Shandong Province.

The Zhang family has a daughter named Zhang Kexin, who is slim and elegant, and the country and the city are captivated. He is eighteen years old and has not yet been married. In this way, everyone is beautiful, and those famous families do not want to marry with this, but they all take advantage of the prosperity and return with failure. How many matchmakers have broken through the threshold, and the Zhang family is unmoved. Because Zhang Kexin had already made a marriage contract with someone when she was an infant, although there has been no news of the man so far
