Besides, after Tianyouhong founded the Triad, he trained a group of righteous soldiers, organized the Triad Army, and launched an attack on Sichuan, where the Qing army was relatively weak. Here, there are more brothers who belong to Hongmen, among them, Zhou Hao, the nephew of Zhou Yuji, the general soldier of Ningwuguan in the Ming Dynasty, led the crowd to defect to Tianyouhong, and then there are heroes from all over the world to join the army, and the number of sergeants of the Sanhe Army is increasing day by day, there are 300,000 people, so that the Qing soldiers are invincible all the way to the border of Sichuan.

At this time, Wang Chunmei, the governor of Sichuan, saw that the Sanhe Army was coming very fiercely and the soldiers were all brave, so he sent spies Fu Da and Tian Jian to mix into the Sanhe Army, and won the trust of Tianyouhong and became the vanguard of the army. Unexpectedly, Na Fuda and Tian Jian provoked the relationship between the generals in the triad army, causing mutual suspicion and discord between the generals and brothers, which eventually led to infighting among the triad army. Tianyou Hong saw through the identities of Fu Da and Tian Jian, and took it upon himself to cut one hundred and eight knives, and executed the two people who betrayed the triad, Ling Chi.

After this battle, Tianyou Hong became ill with grief, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and handed over the military affairs of the Triad Army to the deputy marshal Su Hongyu and Lin Lie on his deathbed, and then died of illness in Baihu Mountain in the fourth year of Yongzheng. After the death of Tianyou Hong, Su Hongyu and Lin Lie led the remnants of the army, and then fought a few hard battles with the Qing soldiers, the triad army was gradually declining, in order to retain the lifeline of Hongmen, Su Hongyu and Lin Lie turned the triad army into zero, and established a triad, heaven and earth society, three point meeting, Qingshui society, seven first meeting, Zhigongtang and other incense halls, waiting for the opportunity to Dongshan

Rise again. In the Jiaqing and Daoguang years, Hongmen gangs such as "Zhuqingshan", "Penglai Mountain", "Huayan Mountain" and "Guangjin Mountain" appeared in Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, and Hongmen entered a period of revival.

However, Zhang Xiwang's ancestors after experiencing the rebellion and deceit of the brothers of the Sanhe Army, they no longer regarded the gang rules that used to be righteous words as gods, and the family moved from the south to the Xuanhua Mansion in the diplomatic circles of Zhili and Guan, so as to avoid those Hongmen brothers, and just wanted to keep the countryside and eat peace.

It's just that in the Daoguang period, the foreigners came in, the world was in chaos, and Hongmen took the opportunity to develop disciples and expand their strength, and Hongmen forces were all over the north and south of the river.

During this period, Zhang Xiwang's grandfather was already ancient, and only his parents were left to guard his lone seedling and buy tofu for a living. But at this time, there were many gangs in Hongmen, and all of them had already abandoned the gang rules that opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and only thought about how to dominate one side and make a fortune.

In order to show that he is the authentic Hongmen and suppress the arrogance of other Hongmen gangs, the leaders of those gangs remembered that Zhang Xiwang's ancestor was the incense chief of the Sanhe Army, and the family has been passed down from generation to generation in Hongmen as a treasure engraved with the jade seal of "Hanliu" two seals. Speaking of this jade seal, it was given to Hongmen ancestor Hongying by Zheng Chenggong, the surname of the country, in order to inspire Hongmen disciples not to forget the national hatred, anti-Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, so the Hongmen dragon heads of all dynasties regard this jade seal as a symbol of identity and orthodoxy, and it is kept by Xiangchang on behalf of him, until God blesses Hong's death, in order to keep the Hongmen token and prevent it from falling into the hands of the Qing army, Zhang Xiwang's ancestors protected the jade seal and fled back to southern Guangdong.

Seeing that those members of the Hongmen gang came to the door and offered generous conditions for Zhang Xiwang and his son to join his gang, but Zhang Xiwang's father was unmoved, but said lightly that the jade seal had never been seen, and if he had that jade seal, he would have changed it into silver to buy a house and land as an old lady, where would he still have to live by buying tofu every day.

But those gang members are not fools, how can they be sent away by a few words from Zhang Xiwang's father, those people see that they are soft, so they send thugs to sneak into the residence of Zhang Xiwang and his son, ready to tie people up and rob them, but what they didn't expect is that although Zhang Xiwang's ancestor is a fragrant chief, he is not a scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, but he is a good skill, especially a set of family knife skills, which can be called extremely sharp.

What's even more paradoxical is that Zhang Xiwang's family is all delicate and thin, looking like they are sick, but as long as a scimitar is in hand, it is a sick tiger, asking for their lives, ten or eight men can't help them at all, plus Zhang Xiwang was also fourteen or fifteen years old at that time, although he was not very strong, but he was ruthless, and those gangsters who broke into their house and wanted to rob the jade seal were seven or eight who died under his knife. For a time, Zhang Xiwang's name spread among the gangs in Hongmen, and the leaders of those gangs heard about Zhang Xiwang's methods and prestige, and even put down the dispute over the jade seal, vying to recruit Zhang Xiwang to his door and become his right-hand man.

Zhang Xiwang is just a teenager in the fourteenth and fifth five-fiveth years, and his heart is full of passion and dreams, and he feels that as long as the scimitar is in his hand, it is okay for the three mountains and five mountains to be trampled under his feet, so he does not listen to the dissuasion of the old father, and mixes with those gang members all day long, and does business (improper business), hard phase (using domineering to cheat money), eating phase (eating Jianghu people), avoiding crested heads (yamen officials issue tickets to arrest people), big pot rice (gathering crowds to fight), gambling soft handle (gambling fake/card), and opening incense hall (accepting apprentices), and the limelight is unmatched for a while, people in the underworld from all over the world call it the Xuanhua Hanging Eye Tiger.

However, at this time, the gangs in Hongmen had already abandoned the gang rules set up by Hongying's ancestors, and they were all linked to the government, relying on methods such as selling tobacco and soil, tying meat tickets, and opening kilns to make money and kill people.

After a long time of fighting, Zhang Xiwang finally saw clearly that the word righteousness of the so-called gang had long been gone, and what was left was only the naked interests of each other, and he couldn't help but be confused by the legendary experience of his ancestors who had been familiar with him since he was a child.

Seeing that Zhang Xiwang had lost his way back, Zhang Xiwang's father didn't say a word, on a dark night, Zhang Xiwang's father dug up three corpses from the mass grave, put them into the house, and then burned the former house into a white ground, since then, Zhang Xiwang's family disappeared from Xuanhua Mansion, and hundreds of miles away in Cangzhou City, there were three more honest outsiders who made a living by buying tofu, Zhang Xiwang also hid his former name, changed to the current Zhang Xiwang, and became a non-quarrelsome fighting rot man, and then fell to the later Zhang LaohanLater, Zhang Xiwang had his only son, the child had a docile temperament, although Zhang Xiwang also secretly taught him to practice ancestral knife techniques, and practiced a good martial arts, but his temperament was not as violent as Zhang Xiwang when he was young, but closer to a scholar who likes to meditate. For this reason, Zhang Xiwang sent him to study in a private school, not expecting to be famous, just to be able to read and break words, and to calculate an account, I don't want the child to be talented and academically successful.

After listening to Zhang Xiwang's legendary narration, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou came back from their shock for a while, looked at Zhang Xiwang with infinite reverence and said: "Big brother, I didn't expect you to wilt, you are still a person with a story, for your awesome experience, you should be a big white person, do it!" ”

Zhang Xiwang smiled indifferently and said: "At that time, there was nothing more to do, in fact, what are the rivers and lakes, but it is a hell that releases the ugly greed in people's hearts and bites people, and if you stay for a long time, you will become not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, fortunately I woke up in time, so I didn't become a member of the devil, think about it, it's really a blessing, I should really have a drink, come, I respect the old gods and two little brothers, do it!" ”

After the four of them finished drinking the wine in the glass, Wei Ergou got up and went up again for everyone, Li Shu'er twisted his beard, and suddenly asked: "You are also from the door, and you have three points, have you heard of Luo Zhen, who is said to be the leader of the Qingmen in Cangzhou City?" ”

Zhang Xiwang seemed to have expected Uncle Li to ask this question, and said with a smile: "The old immortal also knows that the house is dilapidated, and the people are mixed, but it is a realm that even the third class of the official mansion does not dare to set foot in easily, as for the reason, it should be on Na Luo Zhen......

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiwang deliberately took a chance, until Li Shu'er couldn't help but look at him, and then laughed and said: "That Luo Zhen is not a native of Cangzhou, but a horse dealer outside the Guan, and it is said that he also has Mongolian blood. To get back to the point, the Manchu Qing Dynasty relied on horses to get the world, and the sale of horses has always been strictly controlled, and horses and tea are regarded as military baggage, and they are not allowed to be bought and sold at will, but Na Luo Zhen just trafficked the good horses of Mongolia outside the Guan, sold them to the gang members, and used them as the foot power to go to Yunnan and Guizhou to traffic tobacco, and came and went, Na Luo Zhen knew that the profits of trafficking tobacco were a hundred times higher than that of smuggling horses, so he could not be moved, and also gathered a group of horse bandits and swordsmen outside the Guanxi and Guanxi, and also went to Yungui to traffic tobacco and soil. and then sold to Tianjin County and Beijing City to seek huge profits. The biggest gang in Cangzhou City is Qingmen, as soon as he saw Luo Zhen, an outsider who dared to grab food, he gathered the brothers in the gang, and wanted to destroy Luo Zhen's gang in one fell swoop, but the horse bandits and swordsmen gathered by Luo Zhen were all afraid of death, after several fights, it was Qingmen who fell to the wind, and Luo Zhen was really a ruthless corner, and bought the government with the silver trafficking in tobacco and soil, and the government opened its eyes and closed its eyes, allowing Luo Zhen and his group to pick the Qingmen one by one at the entrance of the hall in Cangzhou City, and finally tied the Qingmen faucet to the horse and dragged it to death, Relying on bloody means, he took the leading position of the Qingmen, and became the first one in the Qingmen of Cangzhou City without filial piety (the leader of the apprenticeship, but he openly put away the younger brother (apprentice), and Luo Zhen has been sitting on the leading throne of the Qingmen of Cangzhou City for four or five years, and now the smuggling and trafficking of tobacco and soil from Cangzhou City to Tianjin and the capital are basically controlled by Luo Zhen and his gang, and the government does not dare to ask, let alone other small gangs. ”
