I felt like I was betrayed.

The "friends" are unreliable, and the people in the rivers and lakes don't care about me, so I can only rely on the court. Fortunately, relying on the indisputable Jinyiwei and the newly established intelligence department, I still have a deeper understanding of the rivers and lakes.

These things are simply common knowledge in the rivers and lakes, and even the tofu sellers know about it, but the court that has always been high disdain to know about it.

A long time ago, the five most powerful sects in the world formed the Five Mountains School, which are Shaolin Mountain, Wudang Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Changbai Mountain, and Danxia Mountain. They were a faction a long time ago, that is, the "Shaolin" of "Shaolin in the world's martial arts". Sometimes they were divided, sometimes they were united, but the head of the Five Mountains Sect still had nominal dominion over the Five Factions.

At that time, the head of the Five Mountains Sect could appoint the heads of those sects under him, but many years later, although the five sects still left a few people to maintain the organization, and the word of mouth among the senior leaders, most of them had forgotten.

The Shaolin Mountain faction will not say it, because it has already said so much. "It is actually difficult to live under the fame", or rather, "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind". Northern Shaolin is long gone, it has died many years ago, and it has been dying in history, and now it is only all kinds of maggots that pretend to be it that are dying.

Shaolin is divided into two Shaolin, and the southern Shaolin is Danxia Mountain.

It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, Shaolin was destroyed by the imperial court for the first time, except for 108 people who escaped, not even a dog survived on Shaolin Mountain. The 108 people, known as the Shaolin One Hundred and Eight Ancestors, went to Danxia Mountain in Lingnan and founded the Shaolin Temple—and later they called themselves the Danxia School.

Danxia Mountain is too far away, I really can't control it.

The Wudang faction was created by Shaolin apprentice Zhang Sanfeng tens of thousands of years ago.

Everyone knows about this matter, and even Wudang does not deny it, but their statement is: "Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts are the first in the world, and the blue is better than the blue, Shaolin can no longer tolerate him, so he naturally wants to go to the first gang of Wudang in the world." "Although Wudang has been the leader of the martial arts league for many years, in fact, only insiders know that Wudang Mountain is just like that.

You must know that the closer a place is to the imperial court, the more unlucky it is. Wudang Mountain is not far from Chang'an, out of Tongguan to the south, so it is unlucky enough, it is controlled by the imperial court all day long, and even the color of the head of the underpants to wear has to be decided by the court supervisors.

It is recognized that the closer Wulin is to Chang'an, the less free it is. Gyeonggi is an example. Gyeonggi, known as the land of the best people, is as poor as a ghost, except for the Greater Chang'an District of 20 million people, which is like a paradise, and the Gyeonggi place of more than 200 million people is like hell. Gyeonggi is so big, known as the 800-mile Qinchuan, and almost none of the gangs in the rivers and lakes can fight. Those Chang'an Xiaodaomen, Qinling Black Pine Ridge, Tongguan Daisy Village, and Han interrupted the hand flow...... They are all recognized as court eagle dogs, and even the eunuchs and beggars look down on them.

I say so much, which means that except for Shaolin Wudang, which is closer to the imperial court, the other three factions are quite powerful.

Kunlun is in the Western Regions, and it was also established by Shaolin monks who fled out of the year.

But now the Western Regions is already the territory of the slave general Li Hongguang - not that I call him a slave general, but that he calls himself a "slave general". He has established himself in the Western Regions, although he has not been crowned emperor. In other words, now the imperial court does not even occupy a single county seat in the 5 million square kilometers of the Western Regions, and even claims to occupy the Western Regions. Dozens of gangs in the Western Regions have never listened to the orders of the imperial court, and Kunlun now not only does not listen, but pulls people everywhere to overthrow the imperial court.

The Western Regions are too far away, I can't afford to mess with it, so forget it first.

Changbai Mountain also ran out of Shaolin that year.

The imperial army chased all the way from the Central Plains to Liaodong, almost killing all the Shaolin disciples.

At that time, the imperial court blocked thousands of Shaolin disciples on the west bank of the Yalu River. On the east coast is the forbidden area of the Goryeo Peninsula, which is full of terrifying creatures. The imperial court was pressing forward step by step, and the Shaolin disciples were desperate and walked in.

The imperial court is waiting on the shore, and all the Shaolin disciples who come out will be killed.

They waited for a few days and killed another one or two thousand people, but all of a sudden, hundreds of Shaolin disciples ran out on huge black bears and killed the imperial court.

From then on, the Changbai faction was formally established. To commemorate this great victory, their gang flag is the Black Bear Flag of Black Water and White Mountain.

Since Changbai Mountain is in Liaodong, it is necessary for Pu Qinghong to come out.

It took me two days to get to the mouth of the Yellow River in Shandong, which is technically the mouth of the Yellow River in Liaodong, because both from the perspective of actual occupation and from the perspective of the imperial court, the Yellow River and the Yellow Sea are the enclave of Lingnan on the Shandong Peninsula, so they are naturally the territory of Liaodong.

However, in just ten days, the two counties have changed greatly.

The last time I saw it was countless private gang members coming from Hebei, Liaodong, etc., on countless small broken boats. They came ashore from the mud of the Yellow River, covered in dry and wet mud, and walked awkwardly on the muddy shore. The men were sad, the women were crying, the old people were described as withered, and the children were chattering. People gather under the big banyan tree that has just grown leaves to discuss the future. They had no place to live, they were fed and sheltered on the shore, and they were freezing to death at night and sunburned to death during the day. The people of Liaodong shouted and commanded them, and they could do anything with a little copper yuan or something.

And now, the banks of the river are full of wooden houses, from the banks to the woods on the banks. People are busy, the wooden gang is cutting trees, the charcoal gang is burning charcoal, the brick gang is making bricks, the sword gang is selling swords, the staff makers are making sticks, and the Qinglou gang is pulling people everywhere......

When I found Park Qinghong, she was discussing with Dongfang Tian about building a steel foundry.

My group of men were there, too, and they were lying on the ground, flipping through the "Principles of Worker's Manufacturing" and arguing with each other.

Park Qinghong: "Hah." They say you're coming, and I don't believe you. You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, say, what do you ask of me? ”

Me: "I'm just looking to see if there's anything I need help with......"

Park Qinghong: "Very good. We really have a problem. The quality of iron ore in Shandong is too poor, and the iron made is too brittle, so the steam engine is old and explosive. Is there anything you can do? ”

Me: "Don't ask me that question. I'm not from the Iron Gang. ”

Park Qinghong: "Then what can you help?" ”

Me: "Isn't your Liaodong Imperial Court having a grudge against the Changbai faction?" Take advantage of the fact that the court has a grudge against the rivers and lakes, so hurry up and fight the guys. ”

Park Qinghong: "What's the matter with me?" Isn't that your thing? Isn't that what money is supposed to do? You man! You're here to ask me for help? ”

Me: "That's it! Friends are all about helping each other......"

……

In short, after talking nonsense for a long time, Park Qinghong said: "I know that the forbidden army has a telegram. Let's make a deal, you pass on the technology to us, and we will help you destroy Changbai. ”

I said, "I swear, I wouldn't do that." This kind of technology is like the royal computer, which is an absolute secret of the imperial court. However, I'll give you a few, okay? You don't have to fly pigeons or anything, and you don't have to worry about pigeons being eaten on the way. ”

Park Qinghong: "Twenty sets!" ”

I was furious: "I'm just four!" This kind of thing is for the imperial court, so it's good if you can use it. Well, I'll give you two and let you keep in touch with each other, how about that? Those in other provinces can only contact Chang'an, yours is enough. ”

After continuing to negotiate for half a day, we finally reached the same goal: three stations. One at the Liaodong headquarters, one for her, and one for Dongfang Yongbai - it seems that she is quite helpful and happy.

I had the telegraph drive out.

When all three of them received it, the Liaodong Army officially began to attack Changbai Mountain. This time, the Liaodong Army was no longer the imperial army with machetes, but the musket army with flint guns.

A month later, with the support of the Liaodong Navy, the Changbai faction finally surrendered.

I don't know if the head of Changbai is a fugitive from the prison, because the Liaodong Army has killed all the high-level leaders of the Changbai faction!

The new head soon publicly stated that the Changbai head and the Changbai faction were not only loyal to Chang'an and Liaodong, but also unconditionally supported the imperial court on the issue of the position of the head of the Wushan faction.

Very good, get Shaolin and Changbai, and Wudang will be left.
