Chapter 481: Sworn Brothers
Meng Shaoyuan's thoughts were the same.
Lu Yixuan and Qiu Xingchang's efforts only allowed them to gain a firm foothold in Chongqing temporarily. And in order to further develop in the future, it is necessary to connect with all the forces that can be contacted.
"Chief Meng." Qiu Desong glanced at his grandson: "My grandson, I like to move, I don't like to be quiet." He had no interest in doing business, and even quietly left home and was never heard from again. To be honest, we were all very worried, and we finally waited until he came back and inquired carefully, only to know that he had finally found what he liked to do. ”
This is very subtle.
What I like to do is nothing more than being a spy.
The Qiu family has been in business for several generations, so they naturally hope that it will be passed on from generation to generation, but who would have thought that Qiu Xingchang's generation would have such a rebellious one.
Originally, they were resolutely opposed, but Qiu Xingchang had made up his mind, and there was no possibility of turning back.
In addition, the situation in China changed dramatically later, and the Qiu family was still a patriotic businessman after all, so they acquiesced to Qiu Xingchang's identity.
"Chief Meng." Qiu Desong went on to say: "We ordinary businessmen don't understand this intelligence, but we still understand serving the country. I only hope that my grandson, can study hard with Chief Meng, and can make a difference in the future, so as to live up to the country and my Qiu family, that is. ”
"Mr. Qiu is polite." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "In the autumn of the country's critical survival, all our people have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war, after Xingchang graduated from the Hangzhou Police Academy, he followed me directly and worked diligently, especially after returning to Chongqing, he did things decently, and he still has a great future in the future." ”
Shi Xiaoxian spoke in a thick Chongqing dialect at this time.
Qiu Xingchang told Meng Shaoyuan that Shi Xiaoxian said there that now the country is in chaos, and Chongqing is also in chaos. They are all locals, and it is incumbent on them to protect the place, but they have no name, and they are not justified in doing things, and they want to ask Meng Shaoyuan to find an opportunity to ask for instructions from Shangfeng and give Chongqing Brother Pao a name, so that everyone can concentrate on doing things for the country in the future.
This is an important official there.
It's not difficult to give him a name, and when the time comes, report to Dai Li, and just arrange a free errand for him in the military command.
The question is, how do you control Brother Pao in your hands?
Brother Pao has a huge power and has a decisive influence in Sichuan, and he will not be able to bypass them in the future. But how to use them?
It is impossible to make them obedient with peace of mind. They will help you do things, but they will never willingly listen to you as an outsider.
On the way here, I heard Qiu Xingchang introduce that Leng Kaitai in Chengdu is arrogant and domineering, and Shi Xiaoxian has always been preventing his forces from invading Chongqing.
This may be a point that can be exploited.
"Sir Meng, the old man has a reluctant request, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Qiu Desong said.
Should I not talk about it? Why do you like to say this? If I don't say it, don't say it, and you won't be reconciled?
Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan said politely: "Mr. Qiu, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
How is it similar to in the play?
Qiu Desong cleared his throat and said: "The current situation, we all know it in our hearts, but no one can say what will happen in the future. But if everyone can help each other and twist into a rope, no matter how big the matter is, they can get through it safely. So I took the liberty of wanting Chief Meng, Heinzi, and Chief Shi to follow Taoyuan and marry Jinlan. ”
Bow down?
Not to mention, Meng Shaoyuan had also considered this method before, in this era, swearing is the best way to bring people together. The previous military commander Seven Tigers worshipped, which is also the meaning.
Meng Shaoyuan represents the government, Qiu Shenghe represents the Chongqing business community, and Shi Xiaoxian represents local forces.
Once the three of them become "brothers", it is equivalent to bringing the three forces together, which is very much in line with each other's interests. Once something happens, although it is absolutely impossible to live and die together, at least there is a degree of advance and retreat.
Like Qiu Shenghe and Shi Xiaoxian, swearing is not so casual, it is just an individual, it must depend on whether you have use value.
Interests are what everyone values the most.
Meng Shao was originally an agent of the military command, although he had a lot of power in his hands, but when he first came to Chongqing, he definitely needed help. And Qiu Shenghe and Shi Xiaoxian are the best targets.
Now, it is best that the most respected Qiu Desong has taken the initiative to bring it up.
Meng Shao pretended to be a little silent: "Mr. Qiu, I am a foreigner, and I have to take care of me this time, and I am grateful." Since the old gentleman suggested, Shao Yuan had no reason not to agree. ”
Qiu Shenghe and Shi Xiaoxian were overjoyed when they heard it.
This is tantamount to easily climbing into contact with the government.
You must know that when Liu Xiang was in charge of Sichuan, all parties had to be taken care of, and Liu Xiang was appeased when dealing with a prominent family like the Qiu family. treats a leader like Shi Xiaoxian, although he trusts Leng Kaitai more, he is still polite to Shi Xiaoxian.
Now with the outbreak of the war, Liu Xiang led the army out of Sichuan to resist the war, and after the Nationalist Government moved the capital to Chongqing, it was equivalent to a reshuffle of Sichuan's forces.
The Nationalist Government is here, where will Sichuan go in the future? Can these local businessmen and leaders still live the comfortable life they used to have?
If there were "one of its own" in the government, the situation would be very different.
"Want, get." Shi Xiaoxian said excitedly: "In the future, the three of us brothers will have one heart, and Chongqing will be our final say." ”
This person, usable, not reusable.
Meng Shaoyuan immediately had such a thought in his heart.
"Chongqing, that's what we say"? It's just nonsense, no matter how powerful the force is, once the chairman feels threatened, saying that you will be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell today, it will definitely not wait until tomorrow.
"The chief helmsman has said it." Qiu Shenghe said lightly: "We don't want to control Chongqing, it's just self-preservation." The chief helmsman is an honest Chongqing celebrity, I am a diligent Sichuan businessman, and Chief Meng is an innocent government official. The three of us are just working together to serve the government. ”
That's the most correct way to put it.
A smile flashed in Meng Shaoyuan's mouth, and then he said: "What Boss Qiu said is reasonable, everyone works for the government with one heart and drives the Japanese out of China as soon as possible." I have no opinion on bowing, but I am a government official after all, and I can't make a big fuss about bowing, and the form doesn't have to be too favorable, everyone knows in their hearts that they are brothers, and that's it. ”
Shi Xiaoxian doesn't see it that way, it's a big deal to worship, you have to have incense, kill a chicken, drink blood wine or something. Wouldn't it be too casual?
Qiu Desong was well aware of Meng Shaoyuan's concerns: "What Chief Meng said is that in extraordinary times, those red tapes will be waived. I see, I'll be a middleman, and the three of you will have a drink here, put down the cup, and you will be brothers from now on. ”
Ginger is still old and spicy.
Meng Shao didn't want to worship seriously, the Qiu family was at least innocent on the surface, and it was a merchant family. What about Shi Xiaoxian? The leader of the robe, if he really changed posts with him, solemnly bowed, and it would not be good to be provoked from it.
Besides, what if you turn your face in the future?
Qiu Shenghe also knew the mystery very well, and raised the wine cup at that time: "I think my father has a very good discussion, everyone bows, and they know in their hearts that each other is brothers, so why do you have to do any ceremony?" ”
Seeing that everyone was so persistent, Shi Xiaoxian didn't want to say anything more.
At the moment, the three of them drank the wine in the wine cup, Shi Xiaoyi was the eldest brother, Qiu Shenghe was the second brother, and Meng Shaoyuan was the youngest and became the third brother.
In this way, the relationship between the three has been greatly shortened.
"Nephew Shaoyuan." Qiu Desong's title has also changed: "In this way, we will become a family, and in the future, the virtuous nephew will have orders, just open his mouth." My Qiu family's business is your business, and my Qiu family's sons and nephews are your sons and nephews. ”
No way.
Your Qiu family's business is my business? Joke.
and the last sentence, "My Qiu family's nephew is your nephew", so I was embarrassed to send Qiu Xingchang to carry out a dangerous mission.
Shi Xiaoxian was full of interest, and asked Qiu Xingchang to tell Meng Shaoyuan that since he was a sworn brother, Meng Shaoyuan, the Chongqing robe brother, could also have the final say in the future.
Among the robe brothers in Chongqing, Shi Xiao was first the chief helmsman and the leading uncle, and he decided to ask Meng Shaoyuan to be the "sitting uncle", jointly command 100,000 robe brothers, and also advertise various public mouths.
"Big brother, hold on." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly said: "I can do this uncle, but my identity is special, I think, just let some important leaders know, there is no need to make trouble in the city." ”
Shi Xiaoxian is not a stupid person, and he understands when he hears it.
At that time, he agreed, and briefly introduced the composition of the robe brother to Meng Shaoyuan.
The "Tangkou" of other gangs is called "Gongkou" in the Pao Ge organization, and each Gongkou is divided into ten rows, like Shi Xiaoxian is the first row of uncles in Chongqing.
From one row to ten rows, it is collectively called "a dragon".
But the most important thing is that there are no "four rows" and "seven rows" in various places, and it is said that there is a story in it.
During the Kangxi period, when Zheng Chenggong sent his subordinate Chen Jinnan to open a mountain in Yazhou, Sichuan, there were four rows of Fang Liangbin who betrayed the alliance and betrayed the covenant and secretly reported to Jianchang Town.
Later, Hu Si and Li Qi reneged on the covenant, secretly told the government, betrayed their brothers, and were secretly killed by Benshantou. Their rebellious behavior has always been tolerated by Brother Pao, and since then no one has been in the fourth and seventh rows.
So complicated?
While they were talking, Lu Yixuan had another idea in his heart, to say that Boss Meng was Boss Meng, and he came to Chongqing to worship two important local figures, and from then on, Hang Lung's development in Chongqing could be more unscrupulous.
Moreover, it seems that they can also use their power to gradually infiltrate the business of Hang Lung to other places in Sichuan.
