Chapter 26 Heaven and South and North One

In this way, the fight between the beggars and the officials is explained as an internal struggle, which is equivalent to denying the claims that the eradication of the beggars is a resistance to the eunuchs, after all, as long as the beggar gang is not disbanded for a day, then no one can deny that the official beggar force is a part of the beggar gang, and therefore all kinds of things done by the officials and beggars are inseparable from the beggar gang, in the opinion of the official beggar Wang Siyi, even if he can't wash away all kinds of bad deeds and stains on the official beggars, he can also pull Gu Youdao these self-proclaimed and high-ranking beggars into the water and touch the mud, Some people left from Gu Youdao and the others, and even some beggar disciples didn't know what to do......

Seeing that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, the official beggar forces have also begun to draw in helpers to divide their forces, although the officials and beggars have taken refuge in the imperial court eunuchs, but after all, they are different from the imperial court forces represented by Jiang Jingzhong, and naturally have a lot of influence in the martial arts, and not all martial arts forces on the rivers and lakes are willing to compete with the imperial court.

Forced into desperation, Gu Youdao had no choice but to make a decision immediately, unite the forces that can still be united, and start a desperate struggle with the official and beggar forces in Guangdong.

Speaking of which, at first, the power of the officials and beggars in the Jiangnan area was far better than that of the Ping beggars, and later the leader of the beggar gang, Gu Youdao, took two brothers who were rudder to Jiangnan to curb the power of the officials.

However, the officials and beggars immediately colluded with the forces of the government in the south of the Yangtze River to regain control of the situation, and Gu Youdao had no choice but to invite heroes from all over the world to come to help and regain control of the situation.

Which Cheng thought that Dongchang's intervention made the balance of victory re-tilt the balance of victory in favor of the official and beggar forces, and Gu Youdao had to retreat to Guangdong to regain strength.

Now Gu Youdao can be said to have brought together all the masters in the beggars, plus the heroes and heroes who gathered to regain control of the situation, but this situation did not last long, with the official beggars forces playing the banner of beggar gang infighting and sharp gold and silver offensives, the gap between the two forces has been narrowed again.

On the surface, the power of the beggars controlled by Gu Youdao is still much better than that of the beggars, but compared to the power of Gu Youdao on the bright side, the power of the beggars seems to be covered by a thick black veil, and no one will believe that Jiang Jingzhong, the current master of the beggars, will not intervene in this battle.

It didn't take long for the official beggars and the beggars to catch the fire and fight in the city of Guangzhou, and the officials and beggars led by Wang Siyi were more numerically than the beggars led by Gu Youdao, but the masters were much less than the other party.

At the beginning of the battle, the officials and beggars were defeated and retreated, although Gu Youdao and others had the upper hand, but they were forced to act very cautiously under the pressure of Qi Jiguang, the governor of Guangdong, and tried to ensure the scale and restraint when fighting with the officials.

On the contrary, although Wang Siyi and other officials and beggars were at a disadvantage, they showed an aggressive momentum, involving the beggar forces to set fire everywhere in the city of Guangzhou, and the tactics of the officials and beggars were very sleek, and they often avoided the attack when they missed the blow, so that although the beggars had the advantage in force, they suffered greatly, and countless Guangdong people were involved in this unwarranted disaster.

When the forces gathered by the official beggar forces raided the beggars in Guangzhou again and retreated, this battle finally angered Qi Jiguang, the governor of Guangdong, he could tolerate the beggar gang leader Gu Youdao to accumulate strength under his rule to gather colleagues, and he could also try his best to help them drag the footwork of the Dongchang army southward, just because Qi Jiguang also hated the eunuchs, and had a good impression of Gu Youdao, these upright Jianghu righteous soldiers.

However, this does not mean that he can tolerate the other party's turning Guangzhou into a battlefield, and it does not mean that he can watch the people under his rule suffer deeply.

In Qi Jiguang's heart, he really regards the lives of the people of Li as more important than anything else, otherwise he would not have been stationed at the border all the year round to rectify the defense, let alone give up the cornerstone laid in the north for decades to serve as the governor of Guangdong because the coast was repeatedly invaded by the Japanese invaders.

So Qi Jiguang sent someone to send a fierce letter to Gu Youdao, and after reading the letter, Gu Youdao already knew that Qi Jiguang was afraid that he would not be able to tolerate such a troublesome local struggle like them, but Gu Youdao couldn't control the actions of the official beggar forces after all, on the contrary, the hall master Fang was 100 years old. Nie Ge and the others, the master of the Great Ren Hall, were gradually provoked by the intrusion of the officials and beggars, and the battle between the two forces became more and more intense, and even Gu Youdao sometimes couldn't suppress these fierce collisions, maybe this is the price that all those who claim to be righteous have to pay.

Only in this way can we ensure that the struggle with the officials and beggars will not implicate the local people, but in this way it is inevitable that the Dongchang forces can re-intervene in this war.

Since Gu Youdao led people to withdraw from Guangzhou Mansion, the white-haired Li Yonghua, the shadowless stick Feng Shaoting, the knife lock Mo Yuan, and the wandering soul Sang Jian each brought a team, together with the official beggars Wang Siyi and Gu Youdao and others to start a larger range of battles.

Originally, the battle between the official beggars and the beggars was that the beggars were nominally orthodox, and most of the real masters in the beggar gang were the disciples of the beggars, but the officials and beggars were better because of the strong financial resources and the government's response, and there were many eagles and dogs under their command.

But now there are four masters under the command of Jiang Jingzhong, the governor of Dongchang, white-haired Li Yonghua, Stick Feng Shaoting, Lock Knife Ke Mo Yuan, Wandering Soul Sang Jian and others to shoot, and the masters are not as short as they used to be, you must know that whether it is Li Yonghua, Feng Shaoting, Mo Yuan or Sang Jian before joining the East Factory, they are all first-class masters of the famous side, and the kung fu of several people is afraid that they are not under the five hall masters of the beggar gang, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, not to mention that in addition to these four people, the violent bear Ha Erchi, the ground trip fist Zhao Qi, the wild rose stinger, Xuanyuan Sheng, Hu Gonggong and others are not idle people.

Dongchang has the power to trouble the imperial court, and it may lack a good reputation, but there is no shortage of good players with high kung fu, after all, there are few people who can really be indifferent to fame and fortune in these years.

This time, Jiang Jingzhong, the governor of Dongchang, can be said to be ruthless, because there is Guangdong Governor Qi Jiguang in front of him, the Dongchang army cannot enter Guangdong, and he himself is not willing to take the risk to test Qi Jiguang's mind, so the factory guards allocated to Li Yonghua, Feng Shaoting and others are all the best in Dongchang, and many of them are his guards at all, even if they are not as good as Sang Jian in martial arts, they are not much worse.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Qi family's army, the number of these Dongchang teams is about a few dozen people, which is not much, and there are only less than a thousand people after they are combined with Wang Siyi and other officials and beggars, but they are already able to fight with Gu Youdao and others.

Gu Youdao knew at this time that he still underestimated the strength of Dongchang, originally he thought that now he had gathered most of the strength of the beggar gang and there were many heroic assistants who could barely resist the Dongchang army led by Jiang Jingzhong, and even could force the other party back.

And these people in front of them are only part of the power shown by Dongchang, there are only two or three hundred people, and Jiang Jingzhong, the governor of Dongchang, is not here, that one is the ruthless character that the old gang leader Shi Wanjia can't defeat in his heyday, Xiao Yao even told Gu Youdao about the situation of fighting Jiang Jingzhong on the cliff that day.

Gu Youdao knew that not to mention the current internal and external troubles of the beggar gang, even if the beggar gang forces were intact and all together, they were by no means the opponents of Dongchang.

In this way, Gu Youdao's fighting spirit was stimulated, although they could not compete with the entire Dongchang force, they may not be able to cut off the hand that Dongchang stretched into Guangdong.

As long as you can cut off this hand of the East Factory, then you will be able to hit the East Factory hard, so that not only the power of the East Factory will be greatly reduced, but even the fear of the people in the martial arts will be weakened, and it is also likely to lead to more heroes to stand up against the eunuchs, although the East Factory is strong, but there is a limit, as long as the people in the martial arts are united, then the Eunuch Party will definitely live up to the arrogance of the past.

The battle between the Ping beggars led by Gu Youdao and the official beggars (Dongchang forces) represented by Wang Siyi is by no means a winner in a day or two, and both sides can be said to have stood on the edge of the cliff and have no way out.

Gu Youdao is a collection of beggars gang benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith five hall masters and beggars scattered all over the place, it can be said that these people have been the foundation of the beggars, once these people are killed or defeated, then it is difficult for Gu Youdao to regroup and gather more powerful forces, and the beggars will also completely replace the power of the beggars under the support of Jiang Jingzhong, the governor of the Dongchang factory, and then the entire beggar gang will be under the leadership of the official beggars, to be precise, the once dominant beggar gang will be completely reduced to a tool in the hands of the eunuchs, and become a pawn to balance the power of martial artsใ€‚

And if Gu Youdao, Fang Baisui, and Nie Ge are the cornerstones for the beggars, then for the beggars, those industries that belong to the names of the officials and beggars, as well as the edicts issued by the imperial court, are the foundation of the beggars.

To a certain extent, this kind of foundation should be stronger than that of the beggars, which is also one of the reasons why when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, Gu Youdao brought together the three forces and was unable to defeat the officials and beggars, because as long as these industries and edicts are still in the official beggars, they cannot be eliminated fundamentally, as long as the beggars Wang Siyi and several core figures who control these fundamentals have the intention to hide, then Gu Youdao will not know where to start like a tiger swallowing the sky.

But now, in order to hook out Gu Youdao and his gang and exterminate them, the governor of Dongchang ordered Wang Siyi, the head of the official beggar, to give up his fundamental advantages and come to Guangdong to fight a decisive battle against the peaceful beggar forces.

Wang Siyi didn't dare to disobey the order of Jiang Jingzhong, the governor of Dongchang, the big backer, but he also knew the temperament of his big backer, and to put it bluntly, he was just a chess piece in the other party's hand.
