"Second son, you are tall! You're too tall. Use the Reform Society to mobilize scholars, and use the Heaven and Earth Society to gather the common people together one day and one place, up to the scholars, down to the common people, then there are all of them! ”

The first person to give a thumbs up and praise Wang Zhongxiao is, of course, Master Yu. In the end, they are from a family of brocade guards, and their ancestors have dealt with all kinds of thieves for generations. Although he didn't actually operate it, his ancestors still passed him a secret book - "Tiqi Notes", which specifically recorded how the ancestors of the old Yu family caught and created anti-thieves for the Ming Dynasty!

Among them, the article on catching anti-thieves is mainly to catch the White Lotus Sect, and there are also some people who catch thieves from all walks of life. It records how the White Lotus Sect and the thieves were demagogic back then!

And to create anti-thieves. Of course, it is how to turn the rich and officials who "want to rebel but do not rebel" or who have never thought of rebelling at all into rebels.

In short, this Yu Deshui is really a good skill, and now he finally has a stage to play.

On one side is the Dongtangzi Yamen at the sticky pole - this is simply the Qing version of the East Factory!

On the other hand, there is the Restoration Society and Heaven and Earth, and the work of being a thief and catching a thief is all over!

Wang Zhongxiao smiled and nodded: "Master Yu still understands me!" If we want to achieve great things, it is not enough to have soldiers at hand, but also to have ideas that can deceive people's minds! ”

He pointed to his heart: "It is easy to break the mountain, and it is difficult to break the heart, as long as the people's hearts are stirred, the Qing Dynasty will be almost over, then let. Oh, it should be the great cause of the third prince of Zhu is also expected. ”

"Why is the third prince of Zhu?" Wang Jizhen was a little confused, "Second brother, isn't this the cause of King Pingxi and our family?" ”

In Wang Jizhen's view, Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao followed the king of Pingxi. The rebellion of the king of Pingxi has been made, and Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao have a future for the country. And he is Wang Fuchen's son-in-law, and as soon as Wang Fuchen dies, he will be the prince of the country.

Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile: "Of course, the anti-Qing Dynasty is a matter for the King of Pingxi and our family. But the leader of this Heaven and Earth Society. Let's call the helmsman! It can only be the third prince of Zhu! Master, did you say so? ”

The big guys all looked at Master Yu, and they saw that Master Yu's round face was full of surprise!

"That's right! Right! Right! The second son is right! Master Yu wiped his slap and said, "The head of this Heaven and Earth Association can only be the third prince of Zhu, the third prince of Zhu is famous, and the son of Emperor Chongzhen, what he says is listened to and believed, and others believe what he says in his name!"

Even the emperor has always believed that there is such a third prince Zhu who is against him all day long, and he is endlessly tossing and turning against the Qing Dynasty and restoring his sight. If he heard that the third prince of Zhu had established a heaven and earth association, and he wanted to make the world a guest for the lord and the emperor and oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, he should also believe it. That way, we won't be suspicious! ”

Wang Zhongxiao laughed and said: "Hahaha, we are just a group of vulgar martial artists, we can't read a few big characters, how can we understand the great principles of Confucianism?" We can't understand the truth of the avenue of 'the world is the lord and the guest', only the third prince Zhu who has experienced the disaster of the country and the death of the family, or the great Confucian who has witnessed the disaster of the world, can see through it! So the emperor will never suspect that a few of us are making trouble. ”

"That's right! We don't understand! Wang Jizhen asked with a puzzled expression, "But second brother, how did you break this truth?" ”

"I didn't break this truth," Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "It's the eldest brother of Mr. Lizhou Huang Taichong, do you know who he is?" ”

"Huang Taichong? I think I've heard it somewhere. Wang Jizhen pondered for a moment, "Taichong is a trade name, right?" What's your name? ”

Wang Zhongxiao replied: "It's called Huang Zongxi." ”

"It's him!" Yu Deshui slapped his thigh, "I have seen it in my family's biography "Tiqi Notes", he is the son of one of the seven gentlemen of Donglin, after the fall of Wei's father-in-law, he came to Beijing to avenge his father's grievances, took an awl and stabbed the fallen Jinyi Wei Commander Cui in the lobby of the Criminal Department, and also pulled out Commander Cui's beard. Fierce to death! Such a ruthless man died when the Ming Dynasty died, why didn't he resist the Qing Dynasty and die? ”

"It's not writing a book behind closed doors!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "I wrote a "Mingyi Interview Record". ”

In fact, Huang Zongxi organized the Anti-Qing Righteous Army, but stabbing the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers with a knife is not the same thing as stabbing an unlucky egg in the lobby of the Criminal Department of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Zongxi didn't have that skill, and as a result, the anti-Qing rebels let the Qing give the "pit".

"Mingyi? What does it mean? Wang Jizhen asked.

"It's clear and yi, what else does it mean? It must be advocating rebellion! Second son, do you have this book? ”

"Yes!" Wang Zhongxiao opened the drawer of the desk, took out a thread-bound book and placed it on the desk, and there were five big characters on the cover of the line-bound book, "Mingyi to be interviewed".

Master Yu picked up the book and opened it to take a look, and found that it was a manuscript, the words belonged to Wang Zhongxiao himself, and he should have copied it, but he didn't find the author's name, so he asked Wang Zhongxiao: "Second son, there is no author's name on this book, where did you get it?" ”

"This book is collected at the sticky rod, it is Jiangning Weaving Langzhong, that is, Xiao Yinzi and his father touched it as an anti-book, I looked good, so I copied a copy. However, the book stored in the stall at the sticky pole does not have the author's name on it, otherwise Huang Taichong would have rushed to the entrance of the morning vegetable market! Wang Zhongxiao smiled and said, "Since there is no author's name, then I will make the decision and give this book to the third prince of Zhu!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the brush, took the book back from Master Yu's hand, and wrote the five big characters "by the third prince of Zhu" on the cover. Then he crossed out the title of the book and wrote the words "The World is Justice".

In fact, this "Mingyi Interview Record" is not the original version, but Wang Zhongxiao copied and changed it, only retaining the "original monarch", "original minister", "original law", "field system" and other four articles, and highlighted the "original monarch" and "field system", and also rewrote the "field system" into the "Juntian system".

And after highlighting the "original monarch" and rewriting the "field system", this "Mingyi Waiting to Be Interviewed" has become a complete anti-book!

Wang Zhongxiao handed the book to Master Yu, and instructed in a low voice: "Master, you take this book, go back and copy a few more copies, it is considered the third prince Zhu's. Remember, copy with your left hand, so that no one will recognize your handwriting. ”

"I know," Master Yu nodded again and again, "I can't recognize them!" ”

Wang Zhongxiao said again: "Master, there is a song "Datong Song" at the end of this book, and I have to copy a few copies separately. After copying it, pick a set and take it to Suzhou, and plant it together with the third prince of Zhu. When we come back from Jiangnan, this "The World is Public" and this "Datong Song" will be able to make everyone in the world know about it through the decree of the imperial court! ”

It turned out that Wang Zhongxiao was so anxious to get the Heaven and Earth Society out, just to take this opportunity to go down to Jiangnan and remove Zhu San, and make the signboard of the Heaven and Earth Society known, so that the ideas of the Heaven and Earth Society would be known to the world. And Kangxi and the Qing Dynasty are the best propagandists of the Heaven and Earth Society.

In fact, more than half of the reason why this third prince of Zhu made such a big move was that the Qing court was too sensitive, and it was arrested everywhere, so that the Han people all over the world knew that there was such a hero who wanted to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that this third prince Zhu doesn't have any ism, and it's not very motivating, and it's not organized. So it can't be much of a wave when it comes back and forth.

""Datong Song"? What song is this? At this time, Master Yu had already turned to the end of the book and was reading the lyrics of "Datong Song".

"This is the song of the Heaven and Earth Society. Listen up! Wang Zhongxiao cleared his throat, and then began to chant in a low voice: "Get up, don't be a poor pariah!" Arise, and do not be lambs to the slaughter! The blood is already boiling, and we should fight for the unity of the world. The old world will be destroyed by us, and tens of thousands of leaders will unite and rise up, not to mention that our cloth is lowly, how can the princes and generals be kind? This is the final struggle, all of us are united in our efforts to restore China, the great prince of the world! This is the dawn of great harmony, and we will work together to achieve it."

This Wang Zhongxiao's "Datong Song" is the majestic and impassioned tune that inspired countless people to throw their heads and spill their blood. Although there is no accompaniment now, just a cappella, it still makes the few people who are singing have a feeling of blood boiling, as if they have been on the battlefield of the anti-Qing revolution, together with tens of millions of anti-Qing righteous soldiers, lined up in a large array, holding swords and guns, singing "Datong Song", facing the arrows and bullets shot by the Eight Banners, without hesitation, and moving forward bravely!

After a song, the atmosphere in the study has become extremely solemn. Everyone stood there, and Wang Zhongxiao held up a piece of rice paper with the three big characters "Heaven and Earth Society" written on it, and announced in a solemn voice: "By the order of the third prince of Zhu, the Heaven and Earth Society is now established. Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to join? ”

"Yes! I'm going to enter the Heaven and Earth Society."

In the eighth year of Kangxi, in the middle of winter.

At the junction of Tianjin Wei and Qingxian in Cangzhou Prefecture, which is directly under the north of the country, on the official road on the side of the Grand Canal, which has been frozen and can run horses, a team of dozens of horsemen is marching all the way south. At the head of the pack were two tall men, one strong and one young, both wearing suits and cloaks. The two tops are one red and one blue, and you can see from a distance that they are great officials.

These two are Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao, two good fathers and sons who are kind and filial to their sons.

And closely behind the father and son is a golden-topped petty official, who also looks like a talent, it is Wang Zhongxiao's brother-in-law, Wang Fuchen's virtuous nephew Yang Qilong.

Suddenly, Wang Zhongxiao, who was at the forefront on horseback, restrained the horse under his crotch and stopped outside a small city covered with rammed earth and bricks.

Yang Qilong also caught up, stopped his horse beside Wang Zhongxiao, and then raised his horsewhip and pointed to the small city on the edge of the canal in front of him, and introduced: "Shikai, this is a post city. It is called a small station town, and there are two other post towns of average size nearby, both of which are now empty.

The surrounding area has been encircled as a Baqi horse factory, and there are ready-made horse factory yamen, warehouses, and stables available. The canal passes through the east side of the post city, which is particularly convenient for transporting something. This place is located at the junction of Tianjin Wei and Qingxian, 30 miles to the southwest is the county seat of Qingxian, and 70 miles to the northeast is the Tianjin Acropolis. ”

Wang Fuchen also rode to Wang Zhongxiao's side at this time, looked around, nodded and said, "It's a good place to train soldiers. Along the canal, the transportation is convenient, surrounded by horse factories, extremely open, the yamen of the minister in charge of military training can be placed in Tianjin Wei or Qingxian. Shikai, this place you chose is really good! ”

Of course it's good!

Small station training, the end of the Qing Dynasty. Can that be wrong?

Wang Zhongxiao smiled and said to Wang Fuchen: "Dad, the child suggests that you set up the yamen of the chief minister in the small station city. Although it is not good to be forward, it is better to be pure! You can keep an eye on your own town soldiers. As for the other two towns, since you can't manage them, put them in Qingxian and Tianjin Wei.

In addition, the child's Jingwumen can also be moved from Haidian. There are also 100 strong young men in Jingwumen, all of whom have practiced with the children and Mazi, Cannon, Wang An, and Wang Quan, and they are all coarse and fluent. Daddy will take them with him again, and hand over all the skills on the "Twenty-four Methods of Riding Spear Assault" to them. In this way, they can all be used as the general manager and the foreign commissioner.

"Benevolence, Virtue, Righteousness, Safety, Integrity" and auspiciousness, as well as those family soldiers you brought, can be used as generals, guerrillas, garrisons, and thousands of generals. Second Uncle Shao, Third Uncle Cai, Fourth Uncle Bai, Fifth Uncle Li, Uncle Gong Qi, and Eighth Uncle Huang are all general soldiers and deputy generals, so that we can control this town from top to bottom.

In addition, Gunpowder Guo and his son Guo Jinbao are both proficient in firearms, not only can configure gunpowder, but also know how to cast cannons. You can also ask for a request to transfer them to our team as well. Our team can't just rely on cavalry to charge into battle, we must get more artillery and muskets. Among them, the ratio of muskets of infantry soldiers should not be less than 30%, and it is best to reach 40%.

As for the artillery, it should not be too much, twelve to eighteen guns should be enough for a town of soldiers, but these cannons must be able to move quickly and be placed to design a better gun mount, and go back to Gunpowder Guo and Jinbao to discuss it. ”

Wang Zhongxiao is interested in the "revolutionary armed forces" in this town!

Not only did he arrange the brothers of his own Heaven and Earth Society, but also put the apprentices of Jingwumen into it with all their might, "benevolence, virtue, righteousness, peace, and quan" as masters in Jingwumen, and they were also founding members of the Heaven and Earth Society, and when the time was ripe in the future, they could naturally develop Heaven and Earth members among the apprentices of Jingwumen, and publicize the Heaven and Earth Society's "The world is the lord and the guest" and "the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty".

In this way, it would be easy to turn this new army into a revolutionary armed force under the leadership of the Heaven and Earth Society

Wang Fuchen laughed, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't worry about the military training, let's just add it up slowly." This town's elite soldiers are mine and yours! ”

He said this deliberately by raising his voice, and after speaking, he glanced back at the righteous son and the soldiers who followed.

These righteous sons and relatives all saluted Wang Zhongxiao with their fists and shouted together: "I am willing to die for my father-in-law (lord) and second master (brother)!" ”

Wang Zhongxiao also immediately returned the salute with a fist, and said with a smile: "Brothers, you are all my Wang Datou's brothers. In the future, if there is my king's head, there will be yours! ”

Wang Fuchen waited for his son to finish speaking, then waved his hand, pointed to the post city in front of him and said with a smile: "Let's go, go into the city with Lao Tzu to drink. The shopkeeper of Yang Da has already placed wine in the small station city for us! ”

When he had said this, he galloped to the town ahead. The group of Yi'er and his own soldiers also followed with hula, and only Wang Zhongxiao and Yang Qilong were behind.

Wang Zhongxiao glanced at Yang Qilong and asked with a smile: "Qilong, I don't know if you have heard of the Heaven and Earth Society?" ”

Yang Qilong was stunned, as if he didn't understand, "What will?" ”

"Heaven and Earth Society!" Wang Zhongxiao lowered his voice and said, "The 'heaven' of the world is the lord and the guest, and the 'land' of the land of the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"What?"

Yang Qilong was taken aback by Wang Zhongxiao's words, and hurriedly looked left and right, fortunately, there was no one else - Wang Fuchen had already led his gang away, and now Wang Zhongxiao and Yang Qilong were left behind.

"Qilong, don't pretend!" Wang Zhongxiao looked at Yang Qilong's nervous appearance, and simply made his words clear, "I understand your thoughts. Master Yu and Xiaohuan both told me! ”

Yang Qilong really didn't pretend at this time, but just smiled and said: "Brother Shikai, I also understand your thoughts, we are all fellow practitioners!" ”

Wang Zhongxiao nodded: "That's right! We are all like-minded. But. My word is bigger than yours! ”

As he spoke, Wang Zhongxiao took out a copy of "The World is Public" (that is, "Mingyi to be Interviewed") and handed it to Yang Qilong.

Yang Qilong took the book and looked at it. The words are not Wang Zhongxiao's, a bit of a dog. The signature is not Wang Zhongxiao's, but the third prince Zhu's!

"Brother Shikai, this is. Your way? Or is it the way of King Pingxi? Yang Qilong asked.

It turned out that he always thought that Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao, father and son, were sent by Wu Sangui to Kangxi's side as internal responses!

"This is the way of the third prince of Zhu!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "Isn't it clearly written on it? You take it back and look at it. If you think it's okay, then let's do it together! In this heaven and earth, there will be a theory that the world is for the public, and it is necessary to make the world the lord and the guest of the king, and to give the poor people and meritorious ministers all the land after the success of the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. I look okay! ”

"Junda?" Yang Qilong thought for a while, "Isn't this similar to King Chuang?" ”

Wang Zhongxiao smiled: "Qilong, do you think what we are doing now is much worse than Li Zicheng back then?" Since you want to be anti. You have to dare to let go of it, and if you want to let go of it, you have to give real benefits to the people below. Although Li Zicheng shouted the slogan of Juntian exemption, he did not really implement Juntian. So the people who followed him didn't get much benefit, and when they encountered a strong enemy, they naturally broke up. We have something big to do now, and we can't repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

Yang Qilong nodded and said thoughtfully: "What you said still makes sense. We can't have so many concerns right now! By the way, I still have a few friends who are engaged in anti-Qing restoration in the south, can you show them this book? ”

"Yes! We have to do great things, of course, the more partners, the better! Wang Zhongxiao said, "You go and tell them again that the imperial court has set its sights on the third prince of Zhu in Suzhou. Prince Kang and I are going to Suzhou to pick up people soon, so let them be careful! ”

"Okay, I got it!" Yang Qilong said.
