Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 331 The True and False of the Heaven and Earth Society

With great curiosity, Fan Tong and Cao Peng hurried to Chen Qingsong's office during the lunch break, opened the door and asked:

"Old Chen, which Hall Master will come to Heaven and Earth? Hong Shun Hall or Qing Mu Hall?"

"No, no, Qingmutang is the sub-rudder of Jiangsu, and Lianhuatang is in charge of Fujian. Do you think so? Old Comrade Chen."

Chen Qingsong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the nap arrangements were ruined.He had no choice but to get up to make tea, and said to Fan and Cao, "Do you really believe it? It's a martial arts novel."

Cao Peng sat down on the chair and argued unconvinced: "How can it be a martial arts novel? Chen Jinnan and Chen Yonghua, the chief rudders of the Tiandihui, are historical figures."

"That's it!" Fan Tong chimed in: "Tiandihui is the Hongmen, the so-called Hongmen in the world came out of Shaolin."

As soon as Chen Qingsong heard it, he even pulled out Shaolin Temple.

The two took the teacup, "Old Chen, tell me."

Chen Qingsong said: "I don't know the specific situation yet, the Police Headquarters will question that Yan Yan this afternoon."

Cao Peng said: "Guess why they are here?"

Fan Tong said first: "I guess they are here to ask for help."

Chen Qingsong took out a cigarette and threw it to the two of them, lit it up and said, "Xiao Fan, can you do it, you guessed it all?"

"That's it!" Fan Tong said triumphantly: "We are also people who like to read books. According to history, Fukang'an and Hailancha should land at this moment, and the first battle is a big victory in Bagua Mountain."

"You can pull it down!" Cao Peng rolled Fan Tongyi's eyes and said: "Isn't it just from the set of "Emperor Qianlong" brought by Li Xiaobo? Since the fight, I see you turning upside down. That is a novel, not history. "

Chen Qingsong said: "Xiao Cao's words are on point. Hai Lancha was beaten to death by us long ago, your 'reference' is meaningless."

Only then did Fan Tong remember that Hai Lancha in this time and space had already received his lunch box, and he couldn't help but sighed: "You guys are really ruthless, you picked a general from Qianlong when you came up."

Cao Pengdao: "Fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, Father Heaven and Earth Mother. How about Lao Chen? Let's cooperate with them?"

Chen Qingsong said: "I don't care about military affairs. But I guess Zhao Xin will not agree."

"Why?" Fan and Cao asked in unison.

"You don't know, Zhao Xin looks down on these gang members the most, saying that they are more hateful than the Qing army. When he went to northern Jiangsu before, he caught a few White Lotus Sects and threw them all at the coal mines in Ezo."

"."

Chen Qingsong glanced at the time, put out the cigarette, waved his hand and said, "Enough chattering, let's go."

Fan Tong and Cao Peng asked, "Can we go and see?"

"What do you mean?"

"Can we be present during the interrogation? Nothing else, just curiosity. A bunch of guys on the construction site are all stretching their necks waiting for news from us."

"You two are so free!"

Fan Tong grinned and said, "Hey, I'm just free for this period of time. Once the equipment is installed, I'll have to work overtime day and night. Old Comrade Chen, Big Brother Chen, please help."

Chen Qingsong knew that Fan Tong was telling the truth.Now for the infrastructure project of the power plant, Wu Ping'an reports the progress to Chen Qingsong every day.Those who do inspections like Fan Tong have nothing to do before the equipment is installed on site; once the equipment is installed on site, they have to be busy.

Chen Qingsong thought for a while, and then warned: "It's okay to attend, but you can only go to one. I'll call Katayama later to talk. But you two can remember, don't talk nonsense."

Fan Tong said: "Don't worry about it, you will never talk nonsense."

Yan Yan and his party were placed in two adjacent small courtyards on the west side of Beihai Town since they were taken off by the tugboat at the port.Yan Yan, Liao Dong, and the bow of Fu Chuan lived in the same courtyard, while the rest of them crowded into the nearby courtyard.

Yan Yan and Liao Dong were very dissatisfied that the dignified county magistrate and the escorting general had to sleep in one room.

What made the two of them most angry was that there were actually a few Beihai town soldiers with "guns" outside the yard.Liao Dong tried it in the name of going out to the latrine, but those people didn't let him go out at all; one of them pointed to the shed in the southwest corner of the yard and said that the latrine was there.

"What are we? Prisoners?" Liao Dong shouted dissatisfied.

Yan Yan was also dissatisfied in her heart, but she still persuaded: "Ah Dong, we came without saying hello, and people should be on guard. When I see that Zhao Wang, I will show him the letter from the Generalissimo. Treat each other with courtesy."

At noon, several women brought lunch to the people in the two courtyards with their hands on their shoulders.Everyone looked at the snow-white rice and steamed buns, as well as pickled fish, pickled venison, stewed radish, and a bottle of wine.

Liao Dong asked dissatisfied: "Why is there only one bottle? How can this be enough to drink?"

The women put the food on the table, turned around and left, but no one paid any attention to Liao Dong.

"Stop! I'm asking you something!" Liao Dong was furious, but he didn't dare to be rough on the territory of Beihai Town.

"Forget it, A Dong. I guess I have something to do in the afternoon. It's not appropriate to drink too much."

After everyone finished eating hastily, after a while, those women came again and quickly took away the dishes.

Later, someone outside the door shouted in Zhangzhou dialect: "Are Mr. Yan and Mr. Liao there? Our director is here."

Yan Yan, Liao Dong and Chuantou were shocked, wondering why there are Zhangzhou people here?
Liao Dongchang was so old, and it was the first time he was called "Sir", which made most of his original dissatisfaction dissipate immediately.

When he opened the door, he saw a thin man wearing a blue-black half-length cotton robe and a leather hat standing in the yard.

Yan Yan got up and walked to the door, cupped her hands and said, "My official, Yan Yan, who is your Excellency?"

This man is no longer the cloth merchant who used to hide his head and show his tail. He is the county magistrate of Changhua County under the Lin regime, and he always calls himself the official.

Liao Dong clapped his hands carelessly and said, "Brother is under the banner of the leader of the Shuntian alliance, and he is escorting the general Liao Dong."

Facing these two full-bodied guys, the thin man showed no expression, but just cupped his fists and said, "I am sent by the Beihai Town Police Headquarters. Our chief wants to see Mr. Yan and Mr. Liao."

"Police? General Administration? Director?"

Yan Yan and Liao Dong stared at each other, unable to understand at all.Could this be the official position of the Ming Dynasty?

Liao Dong cupped his hands and said, "May I ask what kind of government office is this 'General Administration'?"

"It's the Police Headquarters. Beihai Town is responsible for arresting thieves and managing street security under the jurisdiction of the public security police. Foreign merchants must first go to the General Administration for registration."

"Oh! So it's Wucheng Bingmasi." Yan Yan suddenly realized, and then cupped his hands and said: "Dare to ask your master Gao's name?"

"Surname card."

Only then did Liao Dong ask the thin man, "Brother is from Zhangzhou?"

"Yes."

"Dare to ask your name?"

"Don't dare, my surname is Bo, and I have only one Zhi."

The bow suddenly said: "Are you from the Dan family?"

This person asked this question because at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court began to register the households of the Dan family as Qimin; because they had been wandering at sea for many years, some of the Dan family took "Bo" as their surname.

Zhangzhou accent, and the surname is Bo, isn't it Danhu or something?
The public security policeman Bo Zhi just nodded.His family is from the Dan family in southern Fujian. Later, he got into a lawsuit and went to Guangdong to join the Zheng family's Red Flag Gang. The year before last, he went to Beihai Town with Zheng Yi and the others.

The speaker had no intention of listening, and Yan Yan was secretly surprised when he heard this. He thought that Beihai Town's hand had reached southern Fujian, and even Danhu along the coast of southern Fujian had come to join the gang.

Yan Yan went back to the house and took a bundle, and gave some instructions to the bow of the boat, then she and Liao Dong followed the security policeman Bo Zhi and went out to the west.

Soon, the three of them arrived outside a large courtyard on the east side of Beihai Town Square.

"It's right in front." Bo Zhi pointed to the yard and said to the two.

The two of Yan Yan walked to the gate of the yard, and saw a long signboard painted with white paint hanging on the left side of the gate, with the words "Beihai Town Public Security Police Headquarters" written from top to bottom in black pen.

Walking into the gate, one is facing a large two-story wooden structure building. Countless thick logs are piled up in a patchwork order, which is very majestic, which makes Yan and Liao feel oppressed immediately.

The two of them were from the bottom of the society. When Lin Shuangwen met those landlords, gentry, scholars and officials before the incident, they were all servile and groveling.

Even though most of Taiwan has been conquered, these people have been sealed off from official positions, but they still call Lin Shuangwen "big brother", and they don't stick to etiquette when they meet.

There are two courtyards on the east and west sides, and they are also houses and courtyard walls made of wood.The gate to the east is open, and people come in and out; while the gate to the west is closed, I don't know what it is for.

There is a flagpole standing at the door of the wooden building in front, and the howling north wind blows the flag on the top.Yan and Liao looked up and saw that the flag was a red flag with a white five-star in the middle and a circle outside the five-star, painted black inside.

Yan Yanxin said, why is there no name on the flag?The architectural shapes and specifications of Beihai Town were completely different from those in the south, which made the two of them extremely curious.

Bo Zhi led the two of them into the front wooden building, and they came to the door of a room on the first floor after turning around.

Bo Zhi knocked on the door twice, only to hear someone inside the room say: "Come in."

After Yan and Liao entered the door, a wave of heat hit his face, dry and dry, which made him, a southerner, extremely uncomfortable.

There is a long table in the room, covered with a light blue tablecloth, and two people are sitting on the opposite side of the long table, talking.

Bo Zhili saluted: "Report to the Director, Mr. Yan and Mr. Liao have arrived."

The person called the director is a middle-aged man with a short stature and a serious face; on the right is a tall and fat man.Both of them were wearing the same style of blue-black jacket and trousers, and had short monk-like hair.

"Your Excellency is Mr. Yan? I am Katayama, the director of the Beihai Town Police Headquarters, and this is Mr. Fan."

Yan and Liao hurriedly cupped their hands in greeting, and after some greetings, both parties sat down.

"My official is now the magistrate of Changhua County. This time I am here on the order of my Shuntian leader, Generalissimo, to pay a special visit to King Zhao." After Yan Yan finished speaking, he took out a letter and handed it to Pianshan.

Fan Tong went over to take a look, and saw a large seal on the cover of the letter, with the words "Shuntian League Leader, Generalissimo" written on it.After reading Pianshan and handing it to himself, he saw the text written on it, to the effect that he sent Yan and Liao to visit King Zhao in Beihai Town, and noted the positions and appearance characteristics of Yan and Liao; The town united against the Qing Dynasty, and hoped that Beihai town could send troops to the south to support it.

Fan Tong of the county magistrate naturally understood what it was, but what was this "escorting general"?

Fan Tong's curiosity flared up, and based on what he saw in the "Hongmen Encyclopedia", he couldn't help asking: "Both of you belong to the Tiandihui?"

"Exactly."

"Heavenly Father, Earthly Mother, against Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty?"

Yan Yan and Liao Dong: "."

"Then you respect Hong Ying as your ancestor?"

"Ah?" Yan and Liao were taken aback for a moment, wondering who the hell is Hong Ying?

"What about Yonghua Hall of Shaolin Temple? Where are Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu?"

Yan Yanxin said that what Mr. Fan asked was all nonsense. He knew about Shaolin Temple, but he had never heard of Hong and Fang.

Seeing the dazed expressions of the two of them, Fan Tong knew that he had been fooled by the film and television novel again.He didn't give up, thought for a while and asked again: "Boss Chen, you should know about it, right?"

Yan and Liao rolled their eyes and said, "Uh, there is no chief rudder in this association."

Fan Tong lost his temper, the reality was completely different from what he knew, so he spread his arms and said to Katayama: "I'm fine, you can ask."

What he didn't know was that the theory of the origin of the Tiandihui in later generations with the purpose of reversing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty was mainly because many researchers relied too much on the confusing and unbelievable founding legends inside the Tiandihui, and secondly, it was the combination of the Tiandihui and the Jiaomen. confused.

You must know that gathering people to rebel is only one of the many motives of the secret society. "Anti-Qing and Fuming" is not the purpose of the Tiandihui. Many legends of the Tiandihui only slowly developed after Jiaqing. The contradiction between Manchu and Han is even more nonsense.

Those are the sayings given by people in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Before the Jiaqing Dynasty, the main force of the rebellion by the descendants of the Ming Dynasty was actually the secret sect; the Dacheng Sect, Baiyang Sect, Qingshui Sect, Bagua Sect, Sanyang Sect, etc., were collectively referred to as the White Lotus Sect.

And why did that Zheng Kai (monk Tixi) establish the Tiandihui back then?
Without him, he can collect money.

During the day, they pretend to be monks, and at night they gather for gambling, drinking and prostitution.After Tixi died, his son Zheng Ji inherited the temple and the head of the meeting, and lived a shameless life like his father.

I think that when Yan Yan was promoted by his personal disciple Chen Biao to join the club, he paid [-] yuan; and Yan Yan himself developed disciples in Zhangzhou and Taiwan, and each of them had to pay Spanish Yingyang [-] or [-] yuan. , is really a good business.

Fan Tong stopped asking, and Katayama said in a deep voice: "How did you two find us here?"

Yan Yan didn't intend to hide it, so he said: "When we went north and passed through Ryukyu, we also inquired from many sources, and then we found out from a businessman from North Korea."

"What's the name of the merchant?"

"Lee Doo-hwan."

Katayama thought about it before he remembered that among the three Koreans who came to Beihai Town last year, there was indeed a businessman named Li Douhuan.Afterwards, he asked about the time and place of the boat trip, and Yan Yan also informed them one by one.

In the end, Katayama said: "My lord is busy and has no time to see you. He asked me to tell you two that it is impossible to send troops. However, if the Qing army is powerful and you cannot resist, you can take refuge in Beihai Town by boat. "

Before Yan Yan could speak, Liao Dong sneered and said, "It's a joke! The generalissimo has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and they must have conquered the capital city of Taiwan by now."

"Since you are so good at fighting, why come to us?"

Yan Yan thought for a while and said, "Master Pian, I'll wait for you all the way."

Katayama interrupted: "We didn't invite you, you found it yourself."

"You!" Liao Dong couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped the desk.

Pianshan said coldly: "If you two want to do business with Beihai Town, we welcome it. However, the rules here are different from those of the Qing Dynasty, so you should pay more attention when you go out. Bozhi is from southern Fujian, so it is convenient for you to communicate. I'll let him accompany you."

During dinner, Cao Peng and others saw Fan Tong return to the dormitory, so they hurried over to inquire.

"How is it? Did you find anything interesting?"

"Are there the first five halls and the last five halls?"

"Who is their chief rudder now?"

Facing the questioning questions, Fan Tong "cut" and said to Cao Peng and the others: "Don't ask, there is nothing you want to know, it's all fake!"
