Chapter 29: The Female Chief Helmsman

Wang Guorui was very surprised when he saw this so-called chief helmsman. It's not that this chief helmsman is ugly, nor how weird it is, but "he" gender is much beyond Wang Guorui's expectations, and this chief helmsman is actually a woman. Wang Guorui once guessed that the chief helmsman of this Heaven and Earth Society might be an old and serious person, or a well-mannered person, or a brave man. But he didn't expect that this chief helmsman was actually a woman, and a very young woman who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, which was what really surprised Wang Guorui. And this woman is still a very beautiful woman, she looks very pleasing to the eye, and looks a little sad beauty.

"Wang Zhixian, the little woman Zheng Hong, is the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, I have given you a salute!" Zheng Hong, a young woman, said.

Wang Guorui took the initiative to ask: "Are you really the chief helmsman?" ”

Wang Guorui obviously still didn't believe it.

Zheng Hong took the initiative to say; "How can the little girl be virtuous, if you want to say that she is not qualified for the position of chief helmsman, but the ancestors are virtuous and blessed by blessings, so that I have obtained the position of chief helmsman, and the brothers of all families are still convinced."

"Ling Zu is ......," Wang Guorui asked tentatively.

"It's the country's surname!" Zheng Hong said.

"The surname of the country, oh, it's Zheng Chenggong!" Wang Guorui immediately thought of it.

Wang Guorui immediately said a little politely: "After it turned out to be a national hero, I was disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Even if Wang Guorui doesn't give face to the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, he has to give Zheng Chenggong, a national hero, a few thin faces, so he has a better attitude towards his descendants. However, Wang Guorui also figured it out, no wonder a girl can become the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, it turns out that she is a descendant of Zheng Chenggong, so it's no wonder. Zheng Chenggong's status in the Heaven and Earth Society can be said to be very lofty, although Chen Jinnan is known as the creator of the Heaven and Earth Society, but even Chen Jinnan can only sit in the third-in-command position. The number one is the third prince Zhu who sees the head but does not see the end, the second in command is Zheng Chenggong, and Chen Jinnan, the actual leader, is just the third in command.

"By the way, didn't the Zheng family surrender to the Manchu Qing as early as the Kangxi period? Miss Zheng, this is ......," Wang Guorui asked.

"The surname of the country has ten sons, except for the fourth son and the tenth son, the other sons have all taken refuge in the Manchu Tartars with Zheng Kexuan. And the ancestor of the little woman is Zheng Kuan, the sixth son of the country's surname Ye, who did not accept surrender and continued to fight back against the Qing army together in the civil organization Tiandi Huihao. It's a pity that the general trend of the world is not on our side, and although we have worked hard for many generations, we have not been able to fight back against the Manchu Tartars. And the last time the people of the Heaven and Earth Society, that is, Lin Shuangwen's uprising that year, ended up in failure. After that, our Taiwan Tiandi Society suffered the loss of Yan zhòng, and has since disappeared. From time to time, we develop some people outside to keep the Association afloat. Zheng Hong said.

"Oh? Are all the people of the Taiwan Heaven and Earth Society inherited by your line? Wang Guorui asked.

Zheng Hong took the initiative to answer: "Yes, back then, the remnants of the Heaven and Earth Society supported the ancestor Zheng Kuan as the chief helmsman, and then the position of the chief helmsman was inherited by our Zheng family. My father had only one daughter, not a son, so the task of expelling the Tartars was entrusted to me. It's not enough, but it's good to have Uncle Liu Feng, my father's cronies, to assist, otherwise I don't know what will happen? ”

"Okay, Miss Zheng, I won't say anything more, now I'm going to incorporate the Heaven and Earth Society, see how you choose? Although I respect General Zheng Chenggong very much, respect is one thing, and General Zheng Chenggong has also passed away for so many years, and his grace has passed for so many years, so I don't need to give him face. Wang Guorui said.

Zheng Hong was helpless for a while, although Wang Guorui said that he respected Zheng Chenggong more, but he didn't give her the face of the Zheng family's descendant at all. But this is also a sentence, the shape shì is not up to people! No matter what the era, this society is very realistic. Thirty years ago, the Father respected the Son, and after thirty years, the Son respected the Father. If it was Zheng Chenggong back then, who would dare not respect his descendants. But now that the Zheng family is in decline, although Wang Guorui respects Zheng Chenggong on his lips, he still starts with the descendants of the Zheng family, and never gives Zheng Chenggong, their ancestors, face.

"Can't we work together? We will have millions of congregations all over the country, and when the time comes, we will climb high and shout, then ...... "Zheng Hong wants to say something to improve his "worth".

Wang Guorui immediately stopped and said, "Don't don't don't, don't say these useless things." Miss Zheng, I believe that since you can sit in this position, you are not a stupid person. We're all smart people, and you don't have to fool me. Your Heaven and Earth Society has long been divided into countless parts, and it is completely impossible to unify them. There are even many who have forgotten that they are a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, and you say that in this case, you say that you have millions of members, and you are just comforting yourself in your heart. As for ascending to the heights, if you have this ability, Manchu will fall early in the morning. So you don't have to raise your value so much, I know very well how much 'capital' you have, don't think about selling yourself at an unreasonable price. ”

Zheng Hong was speechless, originally she thought that she could make Wang Guorui pay attention to it, but Wang Guorui didn't eat this set at all, and her so-called capital was not used at all. And Zheng Hong was also a little helpless, because the real core of their Heaven and Earth Society was just a few hundred people, and the others were all peripheral organizations, just like the Emperor Baiguan Society. The organization of these worship Guan Emperor Guilds is not tightly organized, and the personnel may not be able to be absolutely obedient. If it is a small thing, they may be able to help, but if it is a "big thing" like rebellion, then they may not be willing to follow. Now it has not reached the point where the people of the world can follow the call of the people, so these peripheral organizations cannot be used as real strength.

And now hundreds of core figures of the Heaven and Earth Society have been wiped out by Wang Guorui, if he doesn't take refuge in Wang Guorui now, then I'm afraid Wang Guorui will also have to do it. Now hundreds of people's lives are pinned on Zheng Hong's hands, and Zheng Hong, a woman, has never felt so much pressure. Originally, the ancestors put so much pressure on her as a girl, and his pressure was already great enough, so he looked like a sad beauty. And now she is even more worried, because the fate of all the members of the Heaven and Earth Society is in her own hands, and she can't help but worry about a young girl.

If she is asked to hand over this Heaven and Earth Society, it is tantamount to handing over all the ancestral family business. In her eyes, this heaven and earth will be the ancestral family business, no matter how unfilial the descendants are, they can't sell the ancestral family business, which is a very huge unfilial behavior. Zheng Hong is also deeply pressured by traditional thinking, which makes her feel very unwilling. It's like many ancient emperors said that being an emperor is hard and that being an emperor is tiring, but no one has ever been willing to hand it over, even if it is given to a son or brother. Let's not talk about whether they are really bitter and tired to be emperors, even if they really don't want to be emperors, they have to be hard-headed. After all, once you hand it over, your life and death are controlled by others, which is a very bad feeling. This is also the so-called truth that the head of the chicken is not the queen of the cow, and this feeling of life and death being controlled by others is actually very unpleasant, especially the kind of person who is used to being the leader, and he is even more unwilling to do so.

Wang Guorui still hesitated when he saw Zheng Hong, and then immediately said: "Miss Zheng, in fact, we all have similar ideas, we all hope to resist the rule of the Manchu Tartars in our Chinese land. But my thoughts go further than yours, in addition to resisting the Manchu Tartars, I also want to make China stand on top of the world again. My goal is not to resist the Manchu Tatars, but to continue to make our China rise and not be bullied by those Western Westerners. As for the Manchus, it was only our first goal. If Miss Zheng is willing to join us, then I am willing to reuse it. ”

Wang Guorui's tone was still better, after all, Wang Guorui didn't want to persecute too much. In the future, they are all their own subordinates, and they will not look up and look down, if they are persecuted too much from the beginning, then who knows if they will give themselves negative sabotage in the future? And Wang Guorui still plans to reuse them to a certain extent, because most of their Tiandi Guilds are composed of some declining literati, and some people who are very good at "underground work". Those who are in decline can supplement their civil service ranks, after all, Wang Guorui is now strict and lacks civil officials.

Wang Guorui plans to secede Taiwan in the future, and civilian officials will inevitably be indispensable. If we continue to retain the old Manchu bureaucrats, not to mention whether these corrupt people can do a good job as officials under them, but also to talk about their loyalty to the Manchus, this is also a huge problem. If they received some instructions from the Manchu Qing at a critical time and asked them to be naughty and mischievous to themselves, it would really be a huge loss. Internal strife is often greater and more insidious than the losses of an external offensive. Therefore, there must be some people who were not loyal to the Manchus, and preferably even hateful, to act as their civil officials, and to help them educate the army, so that they could change the mental thinking within their sphere of rule. If we fail to correct the thinking of Taiwan's military and civilians, the army is full of loyalty to the Manchus, and the people are full of nostalgia for the Manchus, then they are really not human inside and out.

Moreover, there are a very large number of peripheral organizations in Taiwan, and although their combat effectiveness is not strong, their intelligence network is very rich. These sources of intelligence are very lacking in Wang Guorui. Even they may have a lot of collusion in the mainland, after all, the Heaven and Earth Society are all involved in each other, and often one member participates in many tribes, which is not surprising at all. The intelligence network of the Heaven and Earth Society is what Wang Guorui needs very much.

"It's okay for us to join yours, but you'll have to promise me one condition." Zheng Hong said.

Wang Guorui took the initiative to say: "Say it, I can agree if it's not too much!" ”
