Qing Dynasty Secret History

Chapter 130: Zhennan Pass Small Action

It is said that Qian Qin envoy's memorial came to Beijing, the Queen Mother saw it, and was very moved in her heart. She summoned all the ministers of the military and aircraft to discuss for a while, how to lose the upper and benefit the lower, and how to turn the weak into a strong.But all the ministers were obedient, and none of them spoke generously. No matter how powerful the "female Yaoshun" was, one of them was helpless in the end. I discussed it several times, so I had to put it aside for the time being.

One day, a police telegram came from Guangxi, reporting that "the revolutionary party started an uprising, and the leader of the party, Sun Wen, Huang Xing, and others led the gangsters to attack Zhennanguan from Vietnam. Our army was caught off guard. The revolutionary party took it away, and now we have mobilized soldiers to deal with it." and other words.The Empress Dowager said: "The Revolutionary Party has repeatedly attacked, and it is really the evil of the imperial court! At first, there were only a few young people who had no world, swaying their pens and tongues, talking nonsense in the newspapers. When they came to Shanghai and discovered the case of Wan Fuhua's assassination of Wang Zichun, I knew that the forces that should be against the party were not corrected. Later, in the important capital of the capital, it was discovered that Wu Yue had bombed the five ministers. In the officialdom, it was discovered that Xu Xilin had shot and prospered. Unexpectedly, it will be completely useless. The revolution in Pingxiang was in shambles, and now there is another riot in Nanguan. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have no reliable people. They only know how to enjoy the glory and wealth and live a peaceful life. The important things are all on me. I have pity on me, but it is still useless."

When it comes to sadness, I can't help but shed tears.

According to the order, the Minister of Military Aircraft will be sent to discuss the matter.

For a while, Ministers of Military Aircraft Yikuang, Lu Chuanlin, Zaifeng and others all arrived.The Empress Dowager showed the electric performance of Guangxi Fuchen to everyone.Because Yikuang is the leader of the military aircraft, Lu and Zai are inconvenient to confront each other first.I saw Yikuang said: "Although the revolutionary party is fierce, the three fortresses on Youfu Mountain fell at the same time, and the province's military equipment is sparse. It is self-evident. The governor seems to be hard to blame. According to the slaves, it seems appropriate to blame him. Hurry up." recover!"

The Empress Dowager said: "That is a matter of course, there is no need to talk about it. I think the Revolutionary Party is so rampant, we must not blame Guifu alone, and the matter will be settled. Think about it, what else can we do to eliminate this catastrophe? I Judging by the momentum of the Revolutionary Party, it cannot be underestimated!"

Zaifeng said: "It's like an oracle.

The Revolutionary Party has a lot of momentum. The slaves have found out about the various party meetings, and now they are all merged into one. It is not like before. It was a few young students at first, who were childish and had no influence. "

The queen mother was shocked and asked: "The party you are talking about, is it the bandit party?"

Zaifeng said: "Why not! The Three Points Club and the Triad Club in Guangdong, the Big Sword Club and the Small Sword Club in Shandong, the Red Beard Club in the three eastern provinces, the Ge Lao Club in Hunan and Sichuan, and the Qing and Red gangs in the Yangtze River area, all merged into one. "

The queen mother was shocked and said: "This is not bad! I know the benefits of the Qinghong gang!"

It turns out that the two gangs, the green and the red, are a huge group of well-known gangsters who united successfully.

Most of the green gang are soldiers, servants, and hooligans; most of the red gang are robbers, salt lords, and light eggs.It is said that the Qing Gang does not separate families, so anyone who wants to join the Red Gang must first join the Qing Gang.

During the reign of Qianlong, the Miao Man rebelled, and Emperor Gaozong repeatedly sent generals out of the army, but was repeatedly frustrated and could not be extinguished.So they set up a yellow list to recruit talents and level barbarians.Suddenly there was a monk named Luo Zu who unveiled the list and accepted the recruitment.When they got to the frontier, they didn't choose generals to pick soldiers, but built a high platform, worshiped Buddha, and persuaded the Miao people to retreat with the will of immortality and great compassion.Emperor Gaozong was overjoyed when he heard that, and wanted to call Luo Zu into the capital and give him a dharma title.Luo Zu didn't want to be entrusted with the title, so he still stayed in the border area to cultivate.

At that time, there were three people surnamed Weng, Qian and Pan who admired Luozu's name and went together to seek Taoism.Seeing Luo Zu, Dao expressed his sincerity, but Luo Zu refused, and the three of them sincerely begged.

Luo Zu couldn't be entangled, so he broke the reed and crossed the river to escape.The three hurriedly chased after them by boat, until now, that place has been called the Luwei River.At that moment, Weng, Qian, and Pan chased them all the way to the Dumb Bridge outside the Wuling Gate in Hangzhou. Suddenly they saw a mountain blocking the road, but there was a cave on that mountain.The three of them wanted to follow them into the cave, but the entrance of the cave was so narrow that they couldn't fit in.Going back to the top of the cave, looking down at the surroundings, the fear is that this cave is a cave through a mountain, and Luo Zu enters from here and exits from there.After looking around, they saw that there was no second cave, knowing that Luo Zu was still in the cave, the three of them were relieved, so they knelt outside the cave and begged sincerely.

After three days and three nights, without eating a grain of rice or drinking a drop of water, suddenly a boy came out of the cave and said to the three of them: "You all come here to seek the Tao. Only by wearing the knee can we have the division of master and apprentice with Luo Zu."

The three of them were horrified after hearing this, and thought to themselves that there is no such thing as Tianfei Hongxuelu piercing the knees in the world. They knew that it was Luo Zu's resolute expression, so they walked forward on their knees, pleading with the boy, and suing the patriarch. Accepted.The boy nodded and entered, and after several days and nights, the news was heavy, and there was still no hope.It was the first ten days of the twelfth lunar month, and the severe cold invaded the muscles and bones. These three people did not bring any extra clothes, and knelt at the entrance of the gloomy and bleak cave.

When it was nearly five o'clock, the snow had already accumulated more than a foot. Fortunately, as soon as it was dawn, the sun was shining, the snow stopped and the wind was calm. The three of them got the heating and woke up leisurely. It was very bright, and I couldn't help but overjoyed and said: "Thanks to the emperor, the edict of Hongxue's waist has been experienced! Luo Zu is going to accept us."

Hold on, the snow is red and bright, is it true that the three people are sincere and heavenly?It turned out that the three of them had no choice but to pick straw from the field and wrap it around their bodies to keep out the cold because of the extreme cold. The grain of rice happened to fall in the hairline. There are grains, and the beaks are competing for food, the skin is broken and bleeding, and Bai Xue suddenly turns red.The three of them first came because they were frozen stiff, and second because they were all focused on Luo Zu, so they didn't notice it at all.I was overjoyed at the moment, and suddenly felt my legs go numb, and when I stood up to look, I saw that the protruding reed roots on the ground had penetrated into my knees, and blood was bleeding from my knees, making the snow on the ground redder and redder.The three of them couldn't help weeping with emotion, and said to each other: "The words of the reed piercing the knees are answered again!"

Before the words were finished, a person walked out of the cave, it was Luo Zu.Luo Zu said: "You son is really teachable, come and follow me into the cave to learn."

Strange to say, following Luo Zu, the mountain was not narrow. The three of them went to the cave, learned from Luo Zu every day, and lived there for several months.

One day, Luo Zu suddenly said to the three people: "Today, the royal family is hanging up the yellow list again, soliciting the world's strange heroes and heroes, for the purpose of transporting grain. Because the way out is not peaceful, the grain transporting ships have been repeatedly robbed by bandits. The grain transportation officials have repeatedly passed the king's chapters, so they hang out the yellow list to attract talents. You three, you can go down the mountain quickly and reveal the list. If there is any danger on the way, I will come to help. The future is bright, don't hesitate!"

After the three people worshiped and listened, they felt quite attached, Luo Zu drove him away with a wave of his sleeves, and each went down the mountain to Beijing.Until now, there is a Pan'an Temple at the foot of the mountain, inside which is a statue of Luozu God. Brothers from the Qing Gang who pass by must go to the temple to worship. This is a later story.

When Weng, Qian, and Pan arrived in the capital, they realized that more than [-] years had passed!
When I asked others, there was indeed a yellow list, so I followed the law to reveal the list, and the three of them were allowed to recruit 320 and [-] apprentices each, and together they brought [-] and a half grain ships, so the three set up a The general gang came, called the Jianghuai Fourth Gang.The head gang is also divided into three rooms, namely Weng Dafang, Qian Erfang, Pan Sanfang, and branches and factions.

Strange to say, when Weng, Qian, and Pan were appointed as grain transporters, the robbery died down, and the grain households were not alarmed.The imperial court was extremely gracious, and immediately summoned three people to Beijing, bestowed them with official ranks, and promised them to set up a record, recruit apprentices widely, and serve the royal family.From then on, the three of them set up a public hall named "Pan'an Hall".So it was discussed and established a general name, which is the word "Qingbang".People in the Green Gang call Luo Zu the Zhizu, and Weng, Qian, and Pan as the three masters, and the masters probably mean patriarchs.

After Weng, Qian, and Pan established Pan'an Hall, they opened the hall to recruit disciples, and established ten gang rules, 24 character generations, and the scope of disciples.The ten gang rules are: 24. Don’t bully teachers and destroy ancestors; [-]. Don’t disturb gang rules; [-]. Don’t look down on predecessors; [-]. Do not commit adultery, robbery or adultery; [-]. You must share the blessings; [-]. You must share the hardships; The [-] character generations are: "Yuanming Psychology Datong Enlightenment Universal Gate Opening Vientiane Yigui Luozu True Buddhism Mystery", each character generation is like the character generation on the family tree.

What's even more astonishing is that if the puppet in the gang violated the gang rules, they would kill them without mercy.After the establishment of Pan'antang, Weng and Qian also set up halls for the first time.The one whose surname is Weng is called Weng Youtang, and the one whose surname is Qian is called Qian Baotang.Also organized six departments: one is the introduction department, the second is the preaching department, the third is the palm cloth department, the fourth is the printing department, the fifth is the ritual department, and the sixth is the supervision department.There is a division in the Ministry, which is assigned to handle affairs.The gang also specially compiled a secret slogan for the meeting of the gang members to ask and answer questions.This secret slogan is called "Spring Point".In the spring spot, if you join the gang, it is called "entry threshold", and outside the gang is called "Kongzi" or "Yangpan".The master is called "Old Man", and the apprentice is called "Tuken", also called "Lifetime".Brothers from the same sect are called "Brother Tongcan", "Jintou" is called zheshao, "leading water" is called "leading water", and "leading thread" is used as an informant, etc. There are various names.

For those who join the gang, the final procedure is that the introducer will lead the "empty" to see the "old man". After the interview, first ask about the name, place of origin, address, career history, etc. for clarification.Then the evangelist told him the rules of the gang in detail, and asked if he was sincere in joining the gang.Because there is no cost for each session, it must be opened once when there are more than ten or dozens of people.

On the day of the opening of the hall, the introducer will still lead all the people in the hall, and each will pay homage to the teacher for the birthday of the "old man". Kneel and knock nine times.After the ceremony, take an oath to abide by the camp rules.After finishing the oath, go to the "old man" to salute, and then the disciples salute each other. "

"The old man" said: "Many disciples, since they joined the gang today, they must strictly abide by the rules and regulations. As for the fellow members, they must also agree with each other with righteousness and not be jealous of each other. If there are 'jintou' and other things outside, you must You must inform me first, and I will act according to my discretion, and you are not allowed to take the liberty to do so!
"After the admonition is over, the palm-printing master is ordered to distribute the invoices, on which the surname, age, history, character, generation, etc. are written, and the palm-printing master is ordered to use the seals and distribute them to each disciple as a certificate of permanent membership.

In the apprentice acceptance ceremony, the disciples accepted first were called disciples of Kaishanmen, and the disciples accepted last were named apprentices of Guanshanmen.These two classes of apprentices and masters treat them differently. If the master has something to do, he can act on behalf of the master. This is the general situation of the Qing Gang.

When the Empress Dowager did not enter the palace, the Empress Dowager's father, with a servant, had passed the threshold.One night, drunk and talking wildly, leaked the gang rules, and revealed a spring point book, committed the fourth crime of disorderly conduct in the gang rules, and disappeared the next day.Later, it was found out that he was killed by a member of the gang, so the queen mother was shocked when she heard about the Qinghong gang.

At that moment, Lu Chuanlin said: "According to my foolish officials, gangsters and gangsters are mostly ignorant people. They are not very scary. What are afraid of are the gentry, merchants, common people, and school students who go along with the revolution. The country is in great danger! Now that the matter of going back to Zhennanguan, if there were no high-ranking people to issue instructions in it, how could this group of party members be so harmful?
"Yikuang said: "Recently, the hearts of the people are really too arrogant!Relying on the generosity of the imperial court, Ming didn't care about him very much. When encountering internal and external political affairs, he dared to make an excuse to establish a constitution and intervene with each other.Lu Chuanlin's words must be guarded against. "

The Empress Dowager said: "It's not good to have a constitution. If you want to come to overseas constitutional countries, are they all like this?"

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zaifeng, which made Zaifeng quickly reply: "All constitutional monarchies in Europe have great power in the court, and public opinion is publicized in public affairs. The imperial court advocates that civil gatherings and associations, as well as all speeches and writings, are all within the scope of the law, and countries have never established constitutions in the name of breaking discipline and breaking laws."

The Empress Dowager said: "According to you, today's rioters are full of fallacies, confusing black and white, subjugated by subordinates and replaced by superiors, and discipline is ruined. Even in Europe, it is absolutely difficult to be tolerated?"

Zaifeng answered "Yes".Yiqian said: "I have one more thing to go back to my ancestors. Now the style of study is very corrupt, and the study of scholars is very infuriating. Students everywhere, their thoughts go beyond the scope, interfere in foreign affairs, some insult officials and teachers, and some disobey orders. There are those who abandon the holy teachings and change the curriculum without authorization. There are also those who change their clothes and dress arbitrarily. Even the big officials in the province refuse to accept, the state is important to politics, and they make arbitrary demands. Irrespective of reason, wantonly slandering Chen. This kind of behavior is also closely related to the revolution."

The Empress Dowager said: "Well, let's quickly send a telegram to Gui Fu, instructing him to recover the Youfu Mountain Fortress, Sun Wen, Huang Xing and other famous gangsters, Hugh let go. On the one hand, he drafted an edict strictly prohibiting students from interfering in politics, and Meetings and speeches in various places, etc. I have drafted a draft and submitted it, and I will read it before sending it!"

The Minister of Military Aircraft obeyed the order and went to finish, and the Queen Mother discussed several important matters with Yikuang.

At present, the decree was issued in Guangdong Province to restore the lack of admirals and governors on land and water. Because of the flood of party meetings in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and the disturbance of bandits, the admiral Jiang Guiti was ordered to lead the troops to Zhejiang to handle the matter of suppressing bandits.Ruicheng, the chief envoy of Jiangsu Province, was sent to handle the arrest and arrest of Qingxiang by Susong Taihang Jiahu.Keep your spirit up and handle affairs.Not long after, the fog of the Guangxi Revolutionary Party really melted away, and the Fort of Youfu Mountain was completely restored.

Unexpectedly, just after the New Year, another huge negotiation case took place in Guangdong. It was a Japanese ship named Ershin Maru, which was loaded with munitions, including 94 boxes of guns and [-] boxes of bullets, which were smuggled into Guangdong Ocean. On the one hand, the intention is to help the Democratic Party and revive the revolution.It happened that the secret was not secret, and was detected by the government. They sent warships to export and seized Erchen pills. I hope that the Japanese will not agree with China because the Guangdong Navy personnel unloaded the Japanese flag from Erchen pills without authorization.Although China is righteous and confident, and the government and the opposition are of one mind, how can a weak country fight against a strong country?The backing of a strong country is its military strength, while a weak country is just arguing. You have a good tongue, and when you see the towering iron ships and dense steel cannons, you can't help but swallow your anger and end up with your mistakes.In this case of Erchenwan, the final outcome of the negotiation was still the word "compensation and courteousness".

The negotiations at Erchenwan had just ended, and the revolutionaries in Hekou and Nanxi in Yunnan Province started rioting again, and Huang Xing was still the leader.Enter troops from the coastal defense of Vietnam and go straight to the mouth of the river.On the one hand, the troops were divided to attack Manhua, Kaihua, Mengzi and other places, and seized the fort. The momentum was very powerful.After all, the mob was defeated by the temperate division. As soon as the officers and soldiers went out, they would disperse the revolutionary army in three or five battles, and recover all the lost places.When the report arrived in Beijing, the Empress Dowager privately thought that the Revolutionary Party had risen repeatedly because of the uneven grace between the Manchu and Han Dynasties, so she issued a decree to grant grace to the descendants of Xianfeng's heroes since Tongzhi.On the one hand, promulgate the charter of the Advisory Bureau, and the governors of all provinces will hold it quickly and implement it with strength. From the date of issuing the charter, it will be completed within one year.From January to August, the outline of the constitution, the essentials of the House Law and the Election Law, and the preparatory matters that should be carried out year by year before the House is opened, are printed and copied to the yamen inside and outside Beijing, hung in the hall, and ordered to be held according to the limit.It seems that a real rectification can always eliminate the huge trouble.If you want to know whether the fruit is peaceful, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.
