Chapter 14: The Beggars' Rebellion (2)
Sun Weiheng knows very well that the reason why the beggar gang was able to obtain their current status was due to the "dirty clothes faction" and the "clean clothes faction". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But after so many years, Sun Weiheng feels more and more that although the dirty clothes faction is the root of the beggar gang, the clean clothes faction is the biggest help for the development and growth of the beggar gang.
The Dirty Clothes faction wants to ensure that those disciples who do not receive bags at the bottom are not bullied, and even put forward "not to destroy the skin", and at the triennial beggar gang meeting, the Dirty Clothes faction has repeatedly put forward stupid suggestions such as "gang rule reform". This practice made the people of the Purification faction very dissatisfied, and in their opinion, if the beggar was physically unharmed, had good hands and feet, and could run and jump, then who would give them money?
What's more, most of the people in the gang are sons of families, and they are familiar with some rules on how the gang should be managed, and these rules are probably incomprehensible to those disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect and those disciples who have climbed up from beggars step by step in their lives.
Sun Weiheng considers himself lucky, and he can understand. He personally watched the infighting between the Dirty Clothes Faction and the Pure Clothes Faction for more than 20 years, which greatly damaged the vitality of the beggar gang, and finally although it was found out that it was to sow discord, the blood feud was settled, and there was no place for a centrist like Sun Weiheng in the gang.
"The Cloak Pie will bring chaos to the beggars, and then the beggars below will have no one to protect them, not even ...... The whole gang of beggars will cease to exist. After witnessing the infighting back then, Sun Weiheng, who assisted three generations of gang leaders, learned to be tactful and had a position.
"Factional strife within the gang is not a bad thing for the beggars, and as a divine sword, as long as it can restrain the Cleansing Faction, it is not a bad thing. What the gang leader needs to do is not which faction to support, but when it is time to balance their forces, just say a word. ”
I still remember what Sun Weiheng himself said when Ma Kui took the dog beating stick from Sun Weiheng.
While rubbing the stick in his hand, which was darker and shinier under the reflection of the firelight, many people thought that when beating the dog stick, it was a bamboo stick, or a copper rod, but only the person holding him, as well as the soul under the stick, would know that the dog stick was not the bamboo stick or copper rod at all.
The dog-beating stick looks like a bamboo stick after the fire, but it is a steel rod, except for a little jade inlaid in the head of the stick, this dog-beating stick can be said to be not much better than a magic weapon. Of course, as long as you are a Jianghu person, you will know that there is never any magic weapon in this world.
No matter how powerful the weapon is, as long as you keep cutting a big bluestone, it will break or curl the blade. But when you beat the dog stick, you won't touch the big bluestone, and it won't even touch people at will. The dog stick is a token, the token of the beggar gang leader, although the dog stick method is powerful, but when the beggar gang leader meets the enemy, he usually does not use the dog stick method. Because the dog-beating stick can't be easily broken, it can be said to be the soul of a real beggar, the same thing as the gang leader's token.
Now, this thing is in Sun Weiheng's hands, but Sun Weiheng is not Ma Kui, so the dog beating stick is like losing his soul, and everyone in the house will not respect it.
"I'm an old bone, but I didn't think about serving the fourth helper. ”
Sun Weiheng sighed, and everyone in the room understood Sun Weiheng's attitude, indeed, there has never been an elder in the history of the beggar gang who served the leader of the four-person gang, the leader of the beggar gang is usually very young, and the elder of the beggar gang will be slightly older than the gang leader. In addition, only disciples with more than seven bags can serve as elders, and the awarding of bags must also be in accordance with the rules of the beggar gang, which has to be decided at the annual beggar gang meeting. In other words, if you want to move from a bag of disciples to the position of an elder step by step, unless you make a great achievement, you have to confer the bag every three years at the earliest, and you need to have a vacant position at the top to be awarded the position of elder.
When Sun Weiheng became an elder, he also made contributions to the beggars in the era of the Southern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was additionally awarded the position of elder, and Sun Weiheng was already in his forties at that time. The two brothers, Kong Wen and Kong Ming, were able to become the elders of the Beggar Gang before the age of forty because Ma Kui made the two of them make meritorious contributions and deliberately promoted these two. Because Ma Kui is young and able to convince the public, coupled with the fact that the eight bags of elders have passed away one after another in recent years, except for Sun Weiheng, there are no more people over the age of sixty among the seven elders of the beggar gang who are still alive.
In fact, Sun Weiheng didn't want to continue to be an elder, after all, he was already over seventy years old, and he already had a group of children and grandchildren under his knees, and now he stepped down, which just allowed Ma Kui to better control the beggar gang. But unexpectedly, this year's major events are repeated, almost everything is related to Sikong Gu, the attack in Hangzhou, so that the beggar gang Sancheng elite was killed and injured, Sun Weiheng retreated at this moment, it is no longer a rapid retreat, but it will be said that "when the situation is not good, it will slip away", it is Sun Weiheng who persevered.
This time, Ma Kui went to Jiangning to congratulate Sikong Gu on the completion of his new house, and this dog stick was handed over to Sun Weiheng in front of the three elders who were in Luoyang at the time, and asked him to "help the principal".
Now that Ma Kui is dead, and Sun Weiheng is unwilling to be the fourth gang leader, how can everyone present not understand what Sun Weiheng means?
After all, Cao Mengde has a cloud: "Lao Ji is in the bush, his ambition is thousands of miles, and he is full of strength in front of the martyr's tomb." Now that Sun Weiheng's "strong heart" is still there, this is also in line with the hearts of everyone in the house. Even Kong Wen, who is a close confidant of Ma Kui, has to admit that Sun Weiheng will succeed him as the leader at this time, which makes sense.
This is also a good move for the Pure Clothes faction.
The crooked-mouthed Beggar Gang Elder was the first to say after Sun Weiheng showed his intentions: "Then it's better for Elder Sun to ascend to this position, right?" Although there is no evidence for Brother Kong's words, they are also reasonable. We can't say that Gu Zhengqi murdered the gang leader, but Gu Zhengqi didn't protect the Ma gang leader well, so that the Ma gang leader was assassinated, and now the beggar gang has no leader, I think Gu Zhengqi's crime should be punished first. ”
Someone shouted at the moment: "This method is good, Elder Sun has also worked hard for the beggars to saddle the front and back horses, and now the tone has made the people of the Dirty Clothes Sect the leader of the gang, it is better for us to assist Elder Sun to ascend to the position of the leader of this gang, at the moment, the strength of our beggar gang is damaged, and the group of dragons has no leader, we must have a figure like Elder Sun to sit in the gang." ”
This was more high-sounding than the crooked-mouthed elder, Sun Weiheng also nodded, and was about to accept it, but he heard Kong Wen's calm voice coming:
"Elder Sun is old, and I am afraid that the people of the Dirty Clothes Sect will use this as an excuse to prevent Elder Sun from sitting in the position of the gang leader. ”
This is a basin of cold water poured down, Sun Weiheng knows that this is one of his shortcomings, if he is twenty years younger, or even ten years old, he can justifiably sit in the position of the helper, but now he is seventy-two years old, he is already in his prime, and the dirty clothes faction said that he would not be allowed to be the helper on this ground, and everyone present could not think of a good way.
The crooked-mouthed elder sneered and said to Kong Wen, "Then who should sit in the position of the leader of this gang? Is it me? Or are you kid?"
Kong Wen ignored his disrespectful words, a pair of eyes were very bright in the firelight, everyone had never seen Kong Wen's appearance, but they didn't speak, just waiting for Kong Wen to answer. (To be continued.) )
