Chapter 234

"Ten people?" Xie Qin was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "It's too little, right?"

I thought that there were more than 20 Hongmen disciples who were killed at that time, and at least they were "more than 20 enemies...... Why does it sound so chattering? Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ten is just a false word, not ten people," Tang Zhong explained, "you can't say a hundred enemies, right? ”

"That's right. Xie Qin nodded.

Tang Zhong said again: "However, the real master of gun fighting is one in a hundred. Because gun fighting is too difficult to practice, not only does it need to be practiced, but it also requires a wealth of actual combat experience. The combat of hot weapons is completely different from that of cold weapons, it can really kill people in a matter of moments, and many people in the Thunderbolt Hall have already died in the actual combat firefights before they are successful. ”

Xie Qin nodded, if the spear fighting technique was really so easy to practice, then the Thunderbolt Hall would have already become the number one sect in the rivers and lakes.

Tang Zhong said: "In ancient times, the Perak Hall relied on firearms to stand out, and in modern times, it relied on gun fighting skills to be prominent in the rivers and lakes full of firearms for a while, but these two Thunderbolt Halls are different, the ancient Thunderbolt Hall is not so much a sect as a research department, and its disciples are not seen by the dragon, and the Thunderbolt Hall of the Republic of China is a gang. ”

This Xiaoyu also said. Xie Qin nodded.

Tang Zhong said: "The thunderbolt hall of the Republic of China, in its heyday, the hall was all over the country, and its disciples were even thousands, of course, the more people will be good and bad, among so many people, there are not many people who can be proficient in using guns, and even fewer have practiced gun fighting, not to mention the masters of gun fighting, most of these people are the same as the low-level children of Hongmen and the Qing Gang, they have little ability, and they are used as cannon fodder in case of trouble. ”

Xie Qin nodded, and asked again, "Then how many spear fighting masters are there in the Thunderbolt Hall?"

Tang Zhong said: "Within twenty or thirty, there are as many martial arts masters as those of the Great Gate Sect." ”

Is this reasonable, Xie Qin nodded, he wanted to ask who had a better chance of winning in a fight between the gun fighting masters and those martial arts masters, but after thinking about it, he felt that this question was quite boring.

Tang Zhong said again: "There is a way that things must decline, and the same is true of Thunderbolt Hall, after it developed to its heyday, its strength was greatly lost due to division. ”

Xie Chin had heard them talk about the split of the Perak Hall many times, so he asked, "Why did the Perak Hall split?"

Tang Zhong said: "The reason is very simple, because Perak Tong has extended its hand to the political circles. ”

"Politics?" Xie Qin was stunned.

"Well," Tang Zhong bowed slightly, "It's not strange, do you know the 'Hui Party'?"

"Will the party?" Xie Qin was stunned again, this word sounded quite fresh, and he had never heard it before.

Tang Zhongdao: "In the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were secret societies such as the Heaven and Earth Society and the Elders' Association, which were collectively called 'Hui', and later, a faction of the Revolutionary Party, after the Xingzhong Society contacted the Heaven and Earth Society, there was the term 'Hui Party', Hongmen and Qinggang were also like this, and Perak Hall was also among them. They can be said to be the main force in the many anti-Qing activities launched by the revolutionary party. After the establishment of the Republic of China, these parties can be regarded as one person who has attained the Tao, and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven. ”

Xie Qin felt that something else had poured into his view of history, and looked at Tang Zhong with a confused expression.

Tang Zhong said: "However, Perak Hall is different from other parties, the Hongmen and the Qinggang all put their treasures on the revolutionary party, but you also know that soon after the Xinhai Revolution, Yuan Shikai, who was born in Beiyang, split from the revolutionary party, and after his death, his students held the nominal government of the Republic of China for a long time, that is, the Beiyang government in Beijing. ”

"Well, that's been taught in this history class. Xie Qin said secretly in his heart, but he didn't say it in such detail.

Tang Zhong added: "At that time, it seemed that the power of Beiyang was greater, so there was a voice within Perak Hall that gave up support for the Guangzhou Revolutionary Party Government and turned to support the Beiyang Government. ”

"Hmm. Xie Qin nodded, indicating that he was listening.

Tang Zhong said again: "This kind of voice gradually became louder, and gradually formed a force, and those who hold this opinion are mainly the northern hall entrance of the Thunderbolt Hall, speaking of which, you probably understand, right?"

"Are these halls splitting the Perak Hall?" asked Sechin.

"No," Tang Zhong shook his head, "I mean, this is essentially a political dispute between the north and the south. And, the first to do it, South Perak Hall?"

"Southern Thunderbolt Hall?" Xie Qin was stunned.

Tang Zhong nodded and said: "To be precise, it is the Jiangxi main hall of the Perak Hall, when the hall masters of the halls of the whole country gather in the Jiangxi main hall, they want to preemptively control the hall masters of the northern hall, so as to coerce the northern hall to be obedient." ”

This is similar to Wang Chongming's control of the Wufeng Board of Directors, so as to control the people under the board, Xie Qin thought to himself, it seems that the routine of this kind of deed is similar.

Listening to Tang Zhong again, he said: "However, the intention of the main hall has long been seen through by the hall masters in the north, and they have rebelled against the army, made a big fuss about the main hall, and also took away the spear fighting secrets of the Thunderbolt Hall by the way. ”

"Those northern hall masters expected the main hall's bad intentions, so they brought a large number of people, and when the main hall was about to make a move, they caused a fire in the main hall.

"In this division, the north and south of the Perak Hall met with the same sword soldiers, and most of those spear fighting masters served in the main hall, so it seems that as soon as they came out, the defeat of the people and horses of the North Hall seemed to be no suspense, but this was not the case. These masters were originally the elites of various halls. When the fire happens, that's when they have to take sides. By the way, the famous 'Spark Forest' Lin Xishuo we just talked about, because he was born in the north, he joined the North Perak Hall.

"In this main hall fire, the master of gun fighting became an endangered species almost overnight - the masters of the Southern Perak Hall were all dead, and the masters of the North Perak Hall also suffered heavy losses, and even the famous 'Spark Forest' Lin Xishuo was also injured. And the men and horses of the northern hall masters, because they came prepared, to be prepared to fight the weapons of the southern hall masters, so they successfully won the victory of the fire union, eliminated the guards brought by the southern hall masters, killed several southern hall masters, and even the chief hall master. Not only did they take away the secret tips of the North Perak Hall, but they also took all kinds of firearms, and finally they set a fire, and everything that could not be taken away was completely lost. ”

"Burned down the main hall......

Although the main hall master was unrighteous first, Xie Qin didn't expect that the northern hall masters would do such a desperate thing, and even the main hall master and the main hall were all killed.

Tang Zhong said: "The Northern Hall Masters have announced that they will be independent from the Perak Hall, that is, the North Perak Hall, and the Perak Hall will also split. The fire in the main hall soon spread to the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes called it the 'Jiangxi Change'. ”

"The Thunderbolt Hall was divided into two, and it also turned from prosperity to decline, and the South Thunderbolt Hall not only lost all its masters, but also lost the complete gun fighting secrets, and only a few incomplete copies were at hand, so they could only rely on sophisticated firearms to make up for the loopholes caused by the incomplete gun fighting skills in the future. ”

"Now, the enmity between the Southern Perak Hall and the Northern Perak Hall is very big. Xie Qin said.

"That's true," Tang Zhong nodded, "It can be said that it is not a common thing." ”

"And what happened later?" asked Sechin again.

Tang Zhongdao: "Later, the situation changed, but the Beiyang government, because of factional conflict, civil wars, although it occupies a large piece of territory, but it is not monolithic. The North Perak Hall was also involved in factional struggles, and it was not uncommon for the halls to attack each other because of their support for different factions, and even to meet each other. As a result, the North Perak Hall, like the Beiyang government and even their own family, the Perak Hall, was originally in a good situation, but because of political disputes, it weakened itself.

On the other hand, in the southern Peraktang, the hearts of the people are very united, they share the same hatred of the enemy, and never forget the shame of the main hall, and the revolutionary party they support has gradually transformed into the Kuomintang, and its power is getting stronger day by day, and finally, Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek launched the Northern Expedition one after another, completely breaking the situation that the south is weak and the north is strong.

"Both the North and the South Thunderbolt participated in the two Northern Expeditions, at that time, the strength of the North Thunderbolt Hall was much inferior to the Southern Thunderbolt Hall due to factional disputes, and like the Beiyang warlords, they lost their cities and lost their territory in the war. The Southern Perak Hall took advantage of the Eastern Expedition to recapture a large number of northern halls in one fell swoop. ”

Xie Qin shook his head secretly, saying in his heart that this process of eliminating the other's strengths and weaknesses sounds really embarrassing.

Tang Zhong said: "In the end, Zhang Zuolin, the warlord of the Feng family in Beiyang, withdrew from the Guanwai, and the rest of the Northern Thunderbolt Hall also followed Zhang Zuolin's Anguo Army. They knew that they would never be able to come back, let alone compete with the South Perak Hall, so they must have been disheartened and announced that they would withdraw from the rivers and lakes from now on.

"As for the Southern Thunderbolt Hall, they used the Northern Expedition to control all the halls outside the Northeast, but this is useless, they still don't have the secret of gun fighting - although the Northern Thunderbolt Hall claims to withdraw from the rivers and lakes, they still hold the secret in their hands. Moreover, because they really don't ask about the world, the gun fighting masters are only short-lived in the Republic of China, and there will be no more. ”

Xie Qin said, "Doesn't the Southern Perak Hall want to retrieve the secret secret?"

Tang Zhong said: "Of course they want to find it, Thunderbolt Hall without gun fighting skills is no different from the Qinggang Hongmen - everyone holds guns, but people can still fight with two hands, but they only have incomplete gun fighting skills, and they can't practice it." However, it was useless to look for it, and later the situation became more complicated, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and the road to the northeast was cut off. ”

Without gun fighting skills, what is the difference between it and salted fish! At that time, the people of the South Perak Hall must have thought so, Xie Qinxin said.

"Therefore, people in the rivers and lakes are really not suitable for playing politics. ”

Tang Zhong said with emotion.
