The Qing army's painstaking management of Yunxiao City was breached, which undermined the Qing court's deployment on the southeast coast and caused a huge hole in Fujian's defense. Because he didn't dare to move his troops casually, the Qing army didn't dare to fight the clouds for at least half a year, and Chen Python could harvest the grain there again, and then come back safely. At least before Luo Beizi arrived in Fujian, the Qing army could not spare enough troops to attack. And Hong Chengchou's focus is in the southwest, and it is impossible to come to the southeast.

In fact, at that time, the southeast coast was where you came and went, and when Zheng Jun came, officials wearing Ming official uniforms collected taxes and grain locally; The Qing army fought back, and it was replaced by Qing court officials who collected grain and taxes here. Sometimes a county seat, after being captured by Zheng Chenggong, is occupied for more than half a year, or even more than a year. When the Zheng army was weak and the Qing army was strong, Zheng Chenggong would harass him when he landed, and ran away after harvesting grain.

Before Wang Xinyu set off, Chen Yonghua came again, he brought 150,000 taels of silver to be handed over to Zhoushan, 3,000 stone of grain to Penghu, and a person. I saw that this person was about 20 years old, looking majestic, with a face like Fu Fan, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a very handsome man, and then looking at this person's temples protruding, it was obvious that he was a practitioner.

"Grass people Hong Xiguan has seen Lord Wang!" Someone came to give it up.

Wang Xinyu was shocked in his heart: Hong Xiguan! Another big boss-level character! I didn't expect Master Cai Jiuyi to call the apprentice so quickly.

"Hong Xiguan! Master Hong! You may be seated! ”

Hong Xiguan's face turned red: "What master!" I really don't dare to be it! Compared to my master, Master Cai, the small one is really the light of fireflies, and he dares to compete with Haoyue! ”

Wang Xinyu looked at this Hong Xiguan more and more he liked it: "Talent! What a talent! As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted, "Come on, serve wine!" ”

Chen Yonghua asked: "Master Hong is a Shaolin disciple, drinking alcohol will not violate the precepts, right?" ”

"No, no, no! I am a lay disciple, I can't drink alcohol in the Shaolin Temple, and I am not subject to the precepts when I leave the Shaolin Temple! Hong Xiguan said with a smile.

The soldiers brought wine, and Wang Xinyu drank bitterly with Chen Yonghua and Hong Xiguan.

At this time, Hong Xiguan asked: "May I ask the general, why is there a cage in your camp, and there is a person in it, and the braids are all hung up?" Just now, the grass people passed by, and the guy was still talking about it, full of sour words, which was more annoying than our archdeacon who was in charge of the precepts. ”

That Hong Xiguan is a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, although he is not very managed by the Qing rules and precepts, but he has lived in the Shaolin Temple for a long time, and he is still a little afraid to see the archdeacon who is in charge of the precepts. Monks and disciples are generally not afraid of the abbot, they are afraid of the deacon.

Wang Xinyu said with a smile: "That's a sour Confucian who specializes in helping Tartars, I specially cleared him up, just for everyone to see as a joke!" Leave him alone, let's keep drinking! ”

"Drink, let's continue!" Hong Xiguan raised his wine glass.

The soldiers served the dishes, and soon a table was filled, with steamed fish, braised pork, boiled shrimp, steamed crabs, fried sandworms, etc.

"Lord Chen, I have an idea that I need your help from Master Hong!" After three rounds of drinking, Wang Xinyu began to say his main topic.

"What's the matter? As long as I can help, I will definitely help! Chen Yonghua said with a smile.

"Form the Heaven and Earth Society!"

"Heaven and Earth Society? What heaven and earth will? Chen Yonghua was stunned.

Wang Xinyu said: "There are many scattered anti-Qing and anti-Ming restoration organizations, and they do not have a unified leadership, and they are almost separate. It's a pity that those heroes and heroes, instead of shaking the foundation of the Tartars, they were broken by the Tartars individually. Now I want to organize everyone into a tight organization with a unified command ......"

"That's a good idea! I agree! Before Wang Xinyu's words were finished, Hong Xiguan couldn't wait to interject. Because of the drinking, everyone is not so polite when they speak, not so civilized, and their self-proclaimed and the like have changed.

Chen Yonghua said: "I have also thought about this, but I have not been able to implement it. Since Mr. Chen said it today, then we can act immediately! Make this a reality! ”

"As long as Brother Chen, Brother Wang said that he wanted to kill the Tartars, I, Hongxiguan, would be the first to go without hesitation!"

Wang Xinyu hurriedly said: "Two eldest brothers, junior brother, I didn't let you organize people to start an uprising casually. Those heroes of the rivers and lakes, they fight alone with the Tartars, and it is no problem to kill ten Tartars at a time! But a thousand heroes will definitely not be able to beat a thousand Tartars! What the little brother needs is to organize them and establish a tight intelligence network! I also talked about this with Master Cai. Also, the White Lotus Sect, we can also fight for it. ”

Although Chen Yonghua drank a little too much, he was still relatively sober, and after listening to Wang Xinyu's words, he nodded and said, "That's right!" We can't let these heroes who fought against the Tartars go to their deaths in vain! What we need is for them to move inside the Tartars and get what we need! When our army attacks the city, they can cooperate to open the city gates and protect the warehouse. In this battle in the clouds, the warehouse was saved, and the biggest credit was given to Master Cai! ”

"The master's martial arts are strong, I Hong can't beat one of his ten!" Hong Xiguan sighed.

Chen Yonghua said: "In this way, I will talk to the prince in the next few days and ask the prince to provide the activity funds." I volunteered to shave my hair and keep braids and sneaked into the mainland, and I used the pseudonym Chen Jinnan! ”

"But Brother Chen, you don't know any martial arts at all, it's too dangerous for you to go to activities!" Hong Xi official said.

Chen Yonghua said with a smile: "I go to organize people, I don't have to know martial arts myself!" As long as I organize them, those martial arts masters will protect me! I'm going to use my brains, not martial arts. ”

The real Chen Jinnan actually doesn't know martial arts, and it is Chen Jinnan who is mythologized in the novel. But Chen Jinnan is very flexible, very alert, and resourceful, otherwise he would not have formed the largest gangster Tiandi Association in human history, so that so many martial arts masters would listen to his orders.

Wang Xinyu felt very relieved that Chen Jinnan recommended himself and was the boss of the Tiandi Club. After deliberation, the Heaven and Earth Society was established earlier than in history.

Hong Xiguan said of a character: "The master mentioned that there is a master named Hongzhi in Guangxi, who was originally a Ming official, and in order to fight against shaving his hair and becoming a monk, he became a monk like the master. Although this Master Hongzhi also does not know martial arts, he has a lot of backbone and is known as Wen Tianxiang of my Ming Dynasty. ”

"Master Hongzhi? I know this person, his original name is Fang Yizhi, and he is also a talent! He once formed an anti-Qing and Ming restoration organization in Guangxi to fight with the King of Jin. It is said that the death of the traitor Kong Youde was related to the people under Master Hongzhi and provided help to the King of Jin. In that case, I would like to find this man, and although most of his organization is gone, the connections are definitely still there. As long as you find him, you can organize. Chen Yonghua said.

When the Qing army went south, Fang Yizhi fled all the way from the north to the south, serving as an official of the Southern Ming Dynasty in Guangxi, and was later captured by the Qing army. However, when the Qing general saw that he would rather die than give in, he admired him very much, thinking that this person was the world's Wen Tianxiang and could not bear to kill him, and thought that he was a scholar with no soldiers in his hands, which was not enough to pose a threat, so he released him. After Fang Yizhi was released, he was unwilling to shave his hair and become a monk. Although he became a monk, he secretly formed many anti-Qing and Ming restoration organizations to secretly confront the Qing government. In real history, Fang Yizhi was in Kangxi for ten years, the anti-Qing and Ming restoration organization in Guangdong was destroyed, he was confessed, captured by the Qing army again, and on the way to Guangdong, he resolutely chose to surrender to Jiang and die for the country.

Wang Xinyu is not very clear about history, he only knows that Chen Jinnan is the boss of the Heaven and Earth Society, in fact, Fang Yizhi, Hong Xiguan, etc., are the founders of the Heaven and Earth Society, and they and Chen Jinnan created the Heaven and Earth Society together.

Hong Xiguan said: "My master and I know a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, and my master has also formed many anti-Qing and Ming restoration organizations, and if we unite them now, we can form a strict organization, which is managed by Brother Chen." ”

"You are more familiar with these things than me, and this matter will be troublesome for the two of you! Come! Dry! Wang Xinyu picked up his glass.

The three of them drank happily, and Chen Yonghua couldn't go back at noon, so he slept on Wang Xinyu's boat for an afternoon. When he woke up, he found that it was getting late, so he left the Takasaki Navy Camp. Hong Xiguan stayed on Wang Xinyu's ship for the night.

"Rejoice! It's a pleasure! Have a good drink today! Hong Xiguan woke up, stretched his waist, and said three times in a row.

"Brother Hong is awake! The evening continues! Wang Xinyu laughed heartily.

"Good! Go on! and it shall be given to you tomorrow. ”

That night, the two continued to drink.

When the two of them had a good time, Wang Xinyu proposed one thing, hoping that Hong Xiguan could help: "Brother Hong, there is something that I need your help with." ”

"What's the matter? Since it was my master who asked me to help you, as long as I can help, brother, I can't give up! Hong Xiguan said.

"That's right, brother, my daughter-in-law, her sister is the daughter-in-law of the prince of Jin. I'm only worried that in the future, if something happens, my daughter-in-law won't be able to see her own sister. Wang Xinyu felt that he was a little drunk, and his speech was a little slurred.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense! The king of Jin is loyal to the court, how can anything happen? ”

"Big brother, you also know that now the war on King Jin's side is unfavorable, and people's hearts are shaken. I'm worried that King Jin won't be able to support it. King Jin is here, nothing can happen. If the king of Jin has any three advantages and two shortcomings, will others rebel? Brother, I can't guarantee it. If there really is such a day, you will try to ensure that King Jin can come over safely! If it really doesn't work, bring my daughter-in-law's sister and her children over, I don't want to fall into the hands of the Tartars after being loyalist! ”

Hong Xiguan replied: "I understand! Brother, you are also a precautionary case. Since the Heaven and Earth Society has been formed, then it is definitely necessary to unite with the White Lotus Sect. The southwest side is the territory of the Miao Yao people, and the White Lotus Sect still has deep roots there. Our heaven and earth will be able to be placed in the past. If King Jin is really in trouble, we will definitely find a way to save him! ”

"Then thank you big brother first!" Wang Xinyu arched his hand.

"There is another thing, Hong Chengchou's old thief and Wu Sangui's thief are both in Yunnan, if we can find an opportunity, we will get rid of those two thieves! Especially Hong Chengchou, a thief, with him watching, Wu Sangui didn't dare to do it anyway even if he had the heart. Hong Chengchou's thief, the hero on the rivers and lakes is hated by everyone! Hong Xiguan said angrily.

"The assassination of thieves needs to be cautious! Those two thieves are very well guarded, and it is difficult to get close. If you are not sure, do not let the brothers make unnecessary sacrifices! When your organization is established, I can provide you with some special weapons, such as flintlock handcuffs, bombs, crossbows, etc., which will be beneficial for your intelligence activities. But you must remember one thing, no matter how powerful an individual is, he can't stand up to the army! ”

"Thank you brother for the reminder! We will take care to protect ourselves. Hong Xiguan arched his hand.

Wang Xinyu took a big sip of wine, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I really hope that my movements can make more trouble and attract Hong Chengchou, an old thief, to Fujian!" Then we'll have a chance to kill him! ”

"Hong Chengchou, that old thief, is really a shame for our Hong family! The family teacher was originally the general of this old thief, but now when the family teacher talks about Hong Chengchou, he feels ashamed of himself! ”
