Outside the Shui Yong Camp in Diversion Bay, under the foothills of Lantau Island, a cemetery was built, and more than 100 stone tablets were neatly arranged, and there was no other word on the tablet except for the name.

"It is my fault that I can only sacrifice this sinful body to Heaven. When you die in battle, bury it here again and tell your father to understand. ”

In front of a tombstone engraved with the word "Zheng Yun", Zheng Yong burned incense and kowtowed, saying this, Zheng Wei, who was kneeling behind him, had red circles in his eyes, but his heart was already clear, and the original kink was like green smoke on incense, and there was no trace.

This cemetery is buried with Si Wei, who died in the previous 11 villages, and more than 80 Zheng family members who were killed by the Silver Carp. They were buried together, and they were all regarded as heavenly torturers who sacrificed to heaven. Shui Yong, with Hong Kong Bazheng as the core, the only bit of hatred in his heart has finally completely dissipated.

Because they are all looking forward to it, looking forward to the inscription of the Heavenly Punishment Society being written clearly and clearly on this stone tablet as soon as possible.

The Heavenly Punishment Society is a complete anti-thief party, although it did not directly say that it would overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, but in the constitution of the Heavenly Punishment Society, there are several darknesss in the world, as long as the brain is normal, you will know where the source of these darkness is.

After a few months of tempering, he was wrapped by Li Shi in terms of clothing, food, housing, transportation, salary, education and other aspects, coupled with Hong Kong Bazheng's original disobedience to the Qing court, when Li Shi unfurled the banner of the Heavenly Punishment Society, Zheng Wei and other twenty or thirty Shui Yong cores joined without hesitation. Then Zheng Yong, the head of Hong Kong Bazheng, finally lowered his head and sincerely repented of his original recklessness. Under Zheng Yong's guidance and choice, one-third of Hong Kong Shui Yong became members of the Heavenly Punishment Society.

The Heavenly Punishment Society is the result of Li Shi, Duan Hongshi and Fan Jin's joint condensation.

In addition to preferential treatment, tempering and edification, and cutting the connection between the government and them, he also needs a common spiritual bond, which can integrate the core figures in those armed units other than Siwei, so as to firmly control this scattered army.

This consideration was brewing when he recruited the boatmen of the Beijiang boat, and then Duan Hongshi and Fan Jin joined in, and finally built the Heavenly Punishment Society.

The name "Heavenly Punishment Society" was conceived by Duan Hongshi, and it is very straightforward, Li Shi's army is to execute on behalf of the heavens, and the specific ideological content comes from Fan Jin.

Earlier, Yi Ming Lao Dao was the first to name the things they summed up as "God's Way", but this set of things is still too macroscopic, only suitable for so-called intellectuals to study, and has not been "localized" and is not suitable for promotion. Therefore, Duan Hongshi dismantled the three beliefs of them, as well as the punishment of heaven and other people's hearts, and wanted to make a set of popular theories.

After Fan Jin chewed it through, he felt that he needed to elaborate more on this part of the soldiers, and he had been consciously expanding this part of the things, and Li Shi had this idea, so Fan Jin integrated these things, and finally came up with a set of Heavenly Dao theories that were only for soldiers.

The constitution of the Heavenly Punishment Society is a very concise logic, the first part talks about the theoretical basis, talking about the three beliefs, but it has been renamed the "Three Treatises of Heaven and Man": under the whole world, everyone is equal; Seeking wealth is the right of heaven to man; Seeking wealth without harming others is God's wish for man.

Taking the Three Treatises of Heaven and Man as the starting point, the second part talks about specific thoughts: why the universe is reversed, the moon is lightless, people's hearts are like jackals, and sorrow and suffering. Just because this way of heaven has been deceived by the world, only people with lofty ideals can work together to protect it, and only then can the way of heaven be clear. And such a person with lofty ideals executes on behalf of heaven, and is no longer an ordinary person.

Three conclusions are drawn from this. The first point is that to protect the way of heaven, you need to sacrifice your life as a sacrifice, and regard your life as a return to heaven. The second point is that Heaven does not punish the heart, and the hearts of the people under the skin and flesh are owned by God and can be held accountable by ordinary people. Point 3...... The third conclusion is that there are countless executioners from heaven, and there is only one one who adjudicates on behalf of heaven, and that is him, Li Shi, and everyone else acts according to his ruling. made Li Xi very emotional, he also became a figure in the category of "Führer", but this is absolutely indispensable.

The above content, written by Duan Hongshi, the sentence is simple, and the words must be called sages, anyway, similar truths, the ancients have already said it thoroughly, and they can use it at hand, and there is no separation from this era, Li Shi has to sigh that his teacher's grooming kung fu is really the essence of Confucianism. Then again, the Heavenly Punishment Society integrates the ideological roots of Taoism and the style of Mohism, and at the same time, in the second half of the charter, it embodies many of the characteristics of the industrial society brought by Li Shi.

The second half of the charter is a requirement for members, and it is necessary to keep it secret, and only on the specified occasions and at the specified time can the affairs of the Heavenly Punishment Society be discussed in detail, and in addition, even if everyone present is a member of the Heavenly Punishment Society, they cannot discuss it casually.

The style of life and work, that is, to turn yourself into a machine, has a clear plan for what to do when and when you do. And what we do, we must be rigorous and meticulous, keep improving, and never allow sloppiness and perfunctory, and light and dust. And in dealing with setbacks, suffering, and pain, we must remember that we are not ordinary people, suppress weakness, and remember our duty.

In short, the members who join the Heavenly Punishment Society, in addition to being soldiers, will also have a common characteristic, that is, tenacity, silence, and arrogance, if you look for a group in the world with a similar temperament to them, then the ascetic may be more similar, but there is still a difference. For example, the Heavenly Punishment Society does not interfere in the private affairs of its members, and even adheres to ancient Chinese precepts, such as "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater", of course, what kind of thing as "parents are here, do not travel far" was removed.

Originally, Fan Jin still felt that he was still unsatisfied, because after all, the ideological foundation of the Heavenly Punishment Society did not completely draw out the set of things of the "Heavenly Dao", but only based on the ancient Taoist lineage, which made the "Heavenly Dao" in it seem a little ethereal, so he wanted to be fuller, but Duan Hongshi pointed out the essence of the "Heavenly Punishment Society".

"If you want to understand more truths, you can continue to study the Word of God, and if you only want to do things, and you don't want to hurt your spirits, you only need to understand one thing: believe in Li Shi!"

Li Shi has thus become the spiritual idol of the entire Heavenly Punishment Society, he does not hold any position, only has a vague title of "leader", and the supreme right to dispose of it. In the Heavenly Punishment Society, there are three levels: elder, mentor and disciple. The elders are the core members, and the Council of Elders, which is responsible for making decisions on recruiting new people, assigning mentors, and disposing of traitors. The guru is a full member, the disciple is a probationary, and one guru leads several disciples, and when the guru feels that the disciple is reliable enough, he is promoted to a guru by the Council of Elders. The level setting and teaching mode in this part contain a bit of Li Shi's bad taste.

A secret organization still needs external characteristics, like the incision of the Heaven and Earth Society, which is also the key element to unite a team into a unique group. Because this organization is only in the army, there is no need to consider the issue of external liaison, so this feature is only embodied in the identification symbol, that is, the pattern sign.

This thing doesn't have to hurt the spirit, it's too special and easy to attract attention, so when Yiming Lao Dao threw out a pattern, Li Xi also used it, and then he always felt that something was wrong, but when he woke up, it was too late, this symbol had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it was difficult to change.

It is a very ordinary Taiji diagram, that is, the "Pisces diagram", which is white at the top and black at the bottom[1], but the "s" in the middle has become thicker and dyed blood red, implying that blood guards the Tao. At first, for the sake of secrecy, this blood line was not very obvious, but later in public activities, the blood line became a blood bar, and if the pattern was turned 90 degrees counterclockwise, it became two S's in a circle...... Li Xian thought to himself, he really didn't mean it.

"I want it too!"

Knowing that Fan Jin served as the president of the Heavenly Punishment Society, Yan Sanniang was very unconvinced, she also wanted to occupy a place in this secret organization with a hint of martyrdom, but was blocked back by Li Xian's words: "The members of the Heavenly Punishment Society, you must follow my words as the golden rule, can you?" ”

Don't even think about it, of course Yan Sanniang can't do it, a dogma in the future of the Heavenly Punishment Society, fathers, sons, husbands and wives are not allowed to join at the same time, so the foundation is laid.

The affairs of Hong Kong Shui Yong and the Heavenly Punishment Society were on the right track, and Li Xi hurriedly swept around Lantau Island, and then took Yan Sanniang back to Guangzhou.

"Oh my God! Have you been tossing Guan Xuan for the past few months? ”

When she returned to Guangzhou and saw Guan Xuan, Yan Sanniang shouted on the spot, regardless of how ambiguous her words were.

"When I left, Guan Xuan's chin was still stacked with meat! It's all now! You're so ruthless! ”

Yan Sanniang's eyes were red, Guan Xuan hugged her, sighed helplessly, looked at Li Xian, shrugged his shoulders, and showed that he was innocent.

Li Shi snatched Guan Xuan out of Yan Sanniang's arms, hugged him, and sighed.

"Girl, how do you want me to compensate you?"

He asked pityingly, Guan Xuan blinked her jasper deep pupils, her lips pursed, and she pointed to the sky.

"Build me a machine and help me count how many stars there are in the sky!"

Li Shi laughed.

"Okay, I'll make it for you!"

At that moment, he was really thinking of a technology tree that would allow computers to combine with astronomical telescopes and corresponding software to automatically count stars.

For nearly half a year, Guan Xuan helped him complete a great cause.

The Qingpu Cargo Station, which has completed the construction of the infrastructure, has not only become a freight hub for Bac Giang, but also merchants from the east and west rivers have also used this place as a center for the transit of commercial goods. What Guan Xuan did was to take a group of accountants to make detailed classification statistics of the future commercial goods, and at the same time, with the help of the people of the commercial bank, the business flow that was not classified in the Qingpu Cargo Station was compared and counted.

After several months of data tracking and the information he gathered, Li Shi had a clear grasp of the flow, scale, and types of goods in Guangdong, as well as the dynamics of the money involved. This laid a solid foundation for his pivotal move. It's like opening a business in his previous life, and what Guan Xuan helped him complete was the market research in the early stage.

"Can you really do it?"

Hearing his decision, Duan Hongshi was excited, and the small teapot fell out of his hand, but fortunately, Li Xian quickly caught it.

"There's no turning back."

After listening to Li Shi's affirmative answer, Duan Hongshi's heart was uneasy, but the words in his mouth were extremely calm.

"We ...... There was no turning back from the beginning. ”

Li Shi replied disapprehantly.
