Shi Dongliang wrote back from the provincial capital.

Shi Weigui asked Xiaoshu to come to his eldest brother to see what was written on the letter.

Shi Dazhu opened the letter and read it, only to know that Dongliang was unwilling to be an apprentice in Chang Gung Bookstore, so he resigned and went to the provincial capital to continue looking for books to read.

Because the Provincial Normal School does not charge tuition, Dongliang went to apply for the examination, and he was admitted, and he is currently studying in the Normal School, so that his family can rest assured.

Dongliang didn't say a word to his family, so he quietly went to the provincial capital, and of course Dazhu was not happy about this. He thought that Dong Liang must have been exposed to bad ideas when he was studying at Baiyu Academy, so he dared to do that.

Dazhu was originally too concerned about family affairs, and the brothers did not have any common interests. Dongliang is studying in the city and province, he has neither missed nor has anything to enjoy, he only cares about whether he can inherit the master's little family background.

Dazhu told Xiaoshu the contents of the letter, leaving Xiaoshu to eat at the martial arts hall.

Xiao Shu was afraid that his eldest brother would catch him to practice horse walking, so he refused to eat, so he took the letter and went home.

Before leaving, he remembered something again: "Brother, Brother Tiehu wants to see you, you can take the time to go home." ”

"Oh, okay." Dazhu said yes and entered the martial arts hall.

At this time, Gu Zicheng was standing on the platform of the martial arts hall, with one hand on his waist and the other hand waving high. There was a circle of disciples in the audience and listened to him talk.

"This Red Guards are dedicated to protecting the poor, defending peasant associations, and dealing with bullying landlords, and if the militia or the Kuomintang army come to bully us, the Red Guards will resolutely fight against them." Gu Zicheng spoke vigorously, and didn't notice that Shi Dazhu had returned.

"Second Senior Brother, do the Red Guards have guns?" Someone asked.

"There's a red tassel gun." Someone is heckling.

"Of course there is." Gu Zicheng opened his shirt and showed the pistol pinned to his waist, "With this iron guy as a companion, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Second Senior Brother, are the Red Guards still recruiting?"

"Of course, the Red Guards are short of people, as long as they ......"

Before Gu Zicheng finished speaking, Shi Dazhu shouted loudly: "It's time to practice." ”

When all the disciples saw the tense face of the senior brother, they all dispersed, and each found his own sword to practice.

Gu Zicheng approached Shi Dazhu and said, "Senior brother, I have a lot of things to do recently, I often run outside, the daily life of the martial arts hall, and the matter of taking care of the master, let you bother." ”

"It's all supposed to be done." Shi Dazhu said, "Senior brother, I advise you, run after you are down-to-earth, and be careful of going mad." ”

Gu Zicheng buttoned up his clothes and said, "Thank you, senior brother, I know in my heart, no." ”

While the two were talking, a young man with a bird gun on his back ran into the martial arts hall: "Captain Gu, hurry, emergency, the commander-in-chief is looking for you for a meeting." ”

Gu Zicheng followed the comer.

Shi Dazhu said to the disciples, "Brothers, come here. I'll tell you something. ”

What's going on today? The two senior brothers had something to say to everyone, and all the apprentices gathered around.

Shi Dazhu asked: "Brothers, what does our Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall rely on to become famous in the rivers and lakes?" ”

"It depends on the prestige of the master."

"It's our one-of-a-kind throat gun."

Everyone, you have a word, I have a word. Dazhu took a red tassel gun with an iron-tipped wooden handle from his disciple's hand, walked outside the circle, and made a few gestures, saying: "Throat lock gun, the king of guns, guns and guns lock throats are the most difficult to defend." ”

"No matter how powerful this lockthroat gun is, I'm afraid it can't compare to the second senior brother's pistol." A disciple said in a low voice.

Shi Dazhu did not avoid the contradiction, nor did he blame the disciple, but said: "Those who practice martial arts must have the ambition of a martial artist, no matter how powerful the foreign gun is, you must have it." Besides, if there are no bullets, then the foreign gun is better than a burning stick. ”

"Oh, and this stubble."

"Foreign guns are rationed to the army, and there are militia groups, and of course the bandits also like that thing, and they have to go to war when they carry guns. Wars, you know, are going to die, you have grown so big, how many delicacies have you tasted in the world, how many have you touched women, and how many have no parents. ”

"yes, yes."

"We are ordinary people, let's live our little life, practice martial arts, take care of the family, buy some land with money, marry a wife, have a son, what's not good. Don't think about those things that don't matter all the time, what Red Guards, peasant self-defense troops, today's scenery, maybe tomorrow when the county militia comes, all of them will disperse. ”

"Senior brother is right."

Shi Dazhu saw that everyone was interested, and waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go to the backyard, and let you see something." ”

The disciples came to the backyard, which was a circular martial arts training ground, much smaller than the arena in the front courtyard of the martial arts hall. There was an old tree in the wall, and the stone pillar jumped up and climbed up the branches, climbing up continuously, and its body was hidden in the dense foliage.

After a while, he jumped down from the tree.

"Brethren, look at this." Dazhu was holding a silver spear head in his hand, and he was still carrying gray-white tassels, "Do you know the origin of this silver spear head?" ”

Everyone shook their heads one by one, their eyes widening.

"This is the gun head used by Changshan Zhao Zilong back then, the gun barrel is broken, and the gun head remains."

"Is it Zhao Yun during the Three Kingdoms period?"

"Exactly." Shi Dazhu said, "Our ancestors were from Changshan, and later fled to our Evian Town, and there was nothing left at home, except for this ancestral treasure." ”

"Senior brother, you won't be a descendant of Zhao Zilong, right?"

Shi Dazhu nodded and said: "My real surname is Zhao, when the Song Dynasty fell, because I had the same surname as the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I was afraid that the Yuan Dynasty would retaliate, so I changed my surname to Chang." ”

"Wow, admiration, admiration."

Shi Dazhu made up a story to associate himself with the hero, and took out a mysterious silver spear head, which attracted the attention of all the disciples.

Compared with Gu Zicheng's pistol, his silver spear head has both history and heroic plots, and it is also the most familiar weapon for martial arts practitioners.

Seeing that everyone's eyes lit up, Shi Dazhu felt that the time was ripe, so he said, "Brothers, Evian Town is in chaos now, it's time for us to come forward on stage." In such a chaotic situation, whoever can take the initiative to stand up and take up the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people and maintaining law and order will be the boss here, and he will have food and drink. ”

"Senior brother, what are we going to do, you just say it, we'll do it with you." The crowd was excited.

Shi Dazhu struck while the iron was hot and announced his decision. He wants to set up the Silver Spear Society and make himself the leader.

Shi Dazhu usually looks a little wooden, but he has his thoughts.

He knew for a long time that militia groups had been set up in all counties, and that many townships and towns had also set up autonomous organizations, some of which were called Red Gun Societies and some of which were Yellow Gun Societies. In the name of protecting the country and the people, these organizations bring together those who are restless and courageous. Sometimes they cooperate with vigilante groups to suppress bandits, and sometimes they assist the local government in maintaining law and order.

Evian occupies an important position at the junction of the three provinces, how can there be no such organization?

Shi Dazhu had this idea for a long time, but before he could implement his idea, Su Lan and others launched a peasant uprising, established a peasant association, the Red Guards, and the peasant self-defense army, attracting a large number of aspiring young people and strong laborers.

Even in this small world inside the Zhenyuan Martial Arts Pavilion, there are Gu Zicheng who come to grab the territory and attract people to join the Red Guards, if the gun club is not established at this time, there will be no chance.

The reason why I chose the Silver Gun Club is that it is different from other organizations, and secondly, the unique skill of the Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall is the throat gun, which is easy to absorb the congregation in the name of the Silver Gun Club. Of course, his fake silver spear head is also a good gimmick.

After all, Shi Dazhu was a senior brother in the martial arts hall, and his words carried more weight than Gu Zicheng's words.

As soon as Shi Dazhu's order was issued, more than a dozen disciples immediately signed up to join, and a few disciples hesitated. Dazhu did not force them, but let them think about it for a few days.

That night, Shi Dazhu brought those disciples who were willing to join the club to Wenchang Palace.

Since the Silver Spear Society is to be established, there must be a place to convene and gather.

Dazhu had tested the master's tone, and Hu Zhenyuan made it clear that the martial arts hall would not participate in such an organization.

Dazhu sighed that the master was old and had no guts. He searched and searched in Evian Town, and finally chose Wenchang Palace as the clubhouse of the Silver Gun Society.

There is no monk abbot in Wenchang Palace, usually locks the door, and on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, there will be Taoist priests on Luxian Mountain to open the door and accept pilgrims. Wenchang Palace is located in the middle of Evian Town, which is convenient for gathering and conducive to building momentum.

Shi Dazhu led his brother to take care of the Wenchang Palace, and then held an initiation ceremony in the main hall.

The ritual is also simple, kowtow to the stone pillar, and then give Emperor Wenchang an incense, and the brothers drink a bowl of wine, even if they are brothers who live and die together.

The members of the Silver Gun Club also wear a white tassel ornament as a joint code between them. This is also carefully selected by Shi Dazhu, and it is consistent with the accessories of the Silver Spear Society's Treasure Zilong Silver Spear.

The first time the congregation gathered, although there were only a dozen people, Shi Dazhu was already very satisfied. This is his backbone team, as long as there is the first batch, there will be a second batch, and he believes that with his strength, the Silver Spear will definitely snowball.

After the brothers joined the club, they had just drunk the wine, and the wine bowl was still in their hands, when suddenly, there was a "bang" gunfire in the south of the town.

"What's going on?"

"Fighting again?"

The passion that comes out of shochu is exciting.

Immediately afterwards, I heard someone beating the gong and shouting: "The militia is coming, hurry up and copy the guy!" Support Minamibashi! ”

When the congregation of the Silver Lance heard that there was going to be a war, it was a good time to protect the land and the people.

"Senior brother, hurry up, let's act too."

"Acting a fart, I don't want to live you?" Shi Dazhu scolded, "Turn off the lights, go back to the martial arts hall, and don't make a noise." ”
