Foshan Town, under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County, is said to be the largest town in Guangdong.

Today's Foshan town is particularly lively, people come and go, the not spacious streets are crowded with pedestrians, it turns out that today is the day when the big families in the town jointly hold the temple fair.

In a ruined temple outside the town, there were many men gathered, waiting for something with solemn faces.

"Coming, coming, big guy, they've arrived." The brother who let go shouted as he ran.

He Liu shouted to his brothers in the temple: "Incense"

Chen Kai walked into the door of the broken temple with a few henchmen and shouted: "One worships the sky as the father, and the second worships the earth as the mother." He Liu offered incense to the stone statue of Guan Erye, bowed three times, and then withdrew from the temple.

Li Wenmao and Gan Xian came to the temple gate with more than a dozen disciples and brothers, and also shouted: "Three days of worship for brothers, four days of worship for sisters-in-law, love and righteousness under the bridge, ruthless and unrighteous knife to death." He bowed in turn, and returned to the temple with a solemn face.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Chun, Chen Xianliang, Guan Ju, and Lin Jinglong arrived here with more than 20 brothers. The door faces the sea, and the Sanhe River flows for thousands of years. ”

……

A ruined temple, a total of more than 100 people gathered here, of which more than 20 people are the leaders of the Guangdong Tiandi Association, and the rest are also leaders and members.

Seeing that all the people invited had arrived, He Liu came to the front of everyone and said loudly: "Inviting all the brothers to gather here today is really a big matter to discuss......

Li Wenmao at the bottom shouted: "He Liu! Who doesn't know that you are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, so let's just say clearly, what are you doing by inviting the brothers of the Guangdong Tiandi Association here? Everyone is really curious. ”

Li Wenmao is proficient in martial arts. He is righteous and squanders money, and there are many disciples and brothers who know martial arts. It is the largest of the many heaven and earth halls.

He Liu pulled Wu Hong out and introduced to everyone: "This is the brother of the Fujian Heaven and Earth Society. This time I came to Guangdong to discuss ......"

Before He Liu's words were finished, he was interrupted again, Guan Ju looked at Wu Hong and couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Wu, we know each other!" I heard that the brothers of the Tiandihui in Fujian built a large family business, captured Xiamen, besieged Quanzhou, and fought the Qing army in disarray. It's all good, if Brother Wu lacks anything, I, Guan Ju, will support even if I am bankrupt. ”

Guan Ju's words caused a chorus of echoes.

Wu Hong hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from all the brothers, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Fa two brothers died in Quanzhou, our Fujian Ming Army has been returned to the Han Army, and today I am also entrusted by the Han Army Zuo Marshal to come here, please brothers to rise up against the Qing Dynasty and conspire together!" ”

Zhou Chun touched his beard. He has always disagreed with these things under the fence, and asked Wu Hong: "The Fujian Ming Army is famous, and we are also thunderous in Guangdong. I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and there is such a situation, why bother to join the Han army? There is a saying that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. What position did Brother Wu have in the Ming Army, and what position did he have in the Han Army? ”

Seeing that everyone agreed with Wu Chun's words. Wu Hong said with a smile: "This is what my brother thinks, the same as the original idea of our Ming Army, who is willing to send someone under the fence." Yang people snorted, but the Han army was like a bamboo, winning a hundred battles, and the Qing army that fought lost its armor and abandoned its armor, and it was crushed for thousands of miles, that might! Brothers may not imagine, we simply can't raise the confidence to resist, I served as a deputy military division in the Ming Army, ranked third, after returning to the Han Army, I was appointed to the post of Xiamen garrison commander, slightly higher than the prefect, from the rank of four ranks! ”

Although everyone is envious, but also unwilling to show it, let Wu Hong look down on it, in their impression, the four-rank official rank is the prefect who is high in the sky, usually the door does not go out of the second door, once you go out, there is a sedan chair to ride, the official guards are left and right, how majestic you want to be.

Chen Kai was more realistic, and was the first to react, and asked: "Brother Wu, since you have joined the Han army, tell us about the situation of the Han army!" If it is true that the Han army can win the world, of course we have to defect to him, after all, Zhou Peichun and Ge Yaoming are both serving in the Han army, if the Han army is just a false appearance, we must also think about the future of hundreds of thousands of brothers. ”

Wu Hong recalled the military strength of the Han army, and for a moment fell into a trance, muttering to himself: "There are eleven armies in the Han army, ranging from 10,000 to 40,000 people in each army, and the first army, the eleventh army, and the fifth army I have seen. ”

Wu Wenmao also wanted to know how much the disciples under his command were inferior to the Han army, and said loudly: "Brother Wu will pick up the most elite men and horses to tell us." ”

Seeing that they didn't know the height of the sky, Wu Hong smiled bitterly, and thought, didn't we be so arrogant at the beginning, thinking that with all the brothers, we could lay down a piece of the country and enjoy the glory and wealth.

"The most elite soldiers and horses I have seen, when it is still in Zhejiang, I was ordered to go to the Han army to liaison, I was fortunate to see the Han army attack Jinhua, when the Qing army sent the minister and Chun prepared 60,000 troops to defend the dangerous place, I did not expect the Han army to attack Jinhua Mansion in one day, that scene I have never seen in my life, for example, the Qing army is stationed on a small hill, condescending, there are cannons, there are muskets, if you attack this mountain, what will you do?"

Li Wenmao was very interested in this, and felt that it was a test of the gap between himself and the Han army, so he thought about it for a while and took the lead in replying: "Of course, I sent my brothers to rush up, although there will be some losses, as long as the brothers are not afraid of death, they can still be captured." ”

Wu Hong recalled the scene at that time and said: "At that time, the Han army had less than 2,000 people, while the Qing army had more than 3,000 people. ”

Li Wenmao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and replied: "Then I can't help it, the Qing army is overwhelming, and there are guns to help, if he doesn't come to attack, I will burn high incense, how can I provoke them!" ”

Thinking that he was no longer a member of the party, Wu Hong immediately regarded himself as a member of the Han army, and said with a proud smile: "The Han army only brought three cannons, and after firing them ten times, more than 1,000 people rushed up the mountain on two sides, and the Qing army only lasted for half an hour, and then they rushed to escape, and the muskets and cannons were discarded. ”

A member of the party scoffed: "Isn't it a big deal for the Qing army!" ”

Li Wenmao said: "Fart! If the Qing army could not fight, would the Zhou brothers be forced to join the Han army in Jiangxi? ”

He Liu had long been persuaded by Wu Hong to defect to the Han army, explaining: "This shows the terrible thing about the Han army, we have no way to resist, I heard that the Han army invaded Fuzhou, encountered fierce resistance from the Qing army, and killed all night, the Qing army of 30,000 horses was slaughtered, and the Han army suffered less than 3,000 casualties."
