After seeing the ceremony, Yang Rui motioned to Xu Liezu to put on the gift list as soon as he sat down, and Dong Laodao took the gift list on his behalf, and he couldn't help but be taken aback after taking a closer look, this gift is really heavy, although he can't understand what twenty boxes of grenades are, but there are eighty guns in the water and beads alone, and another three thousand medicines. This water bead fast gun is a rare commodity, not as good as a single and bird system, a sub-medicine can be opened four times in a row, far and accurate, very powerful, although there are cottages, but there are only more than 60 rods, this is still the year to hit the big nose to take the life to pay, several times the Qing army has been suppressed under the sub-medicine has been left, and now this guy has sent eighty rods, three thousand sub-medicines, it is really a big deal.

Dong Laodao didn't dare to make a mistake, and handed the list directly to Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang saw it, and her expression flashed, looking at Dong Laodao, the two of them didn't know what idea they had changed, but they only heard Mrs. Yang say: "The big boss is so generous, we are really ashamed." Don't dare to receive, don't dare to receive. With that, he pushed the gift list down. It is estimated that he is afraid that Yang Rui will lose face, and said: "The big boss is here, if there is anything that Maoershan can help, just open your mouth and do your best to help." ”

The gift list was sent back to Yang Rui, but Yang Rui just didn't accept it, and said: "My brother heard about the old things of the two masters of Maoershan in the past, and he admired it very much, and sighed that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was unreasonable and the foreigners were cunning, which made the big thing hopeless and the success was successful." A few months ago, I heard that both the Russian and Japanese armies were crossing the border from this Linjiang, and today we sent this Lianzhu fast gun in order to meet foreigners again in the future, so that they can leave more blood and know whose place this northeast is. ”

The leaders in the hall are all with the Manchu Qing and Yang Maozi have a blood feud, hearing these words are a big applause in their hearts, although now the Jindan Sect is not there, the Boxer is in decline, everyone is only self-sufficient in this deep mountain, living a mountain-like life, but the feat of blood fever in the past. But it will never be forgotten.

After Yang Rui finished speaking, he handed over the list again and said, "These are the fast guns that my brother I handed over from Big Nose, and it is only natural to give them to all the heroes." Besides, we are still related to the big boss or our own family, and we are very fateful. ”

Dong Laodao had seen the list, but he didn't hand it to Mrs. Yang. Just looked at Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang heard that Yang Rui said that he and herself were from their own family, and her expression was warm, so she nodded slightly and asked Dong Laodao to accept it. After that, he looked at Yang Rui and asked, "Oh...... Unexpectedly, but the big boss is the family, dare to ask where the ancestral home is? ”

Yang Rui asked about his ancestral hometown, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. said: "Brother, my ancestral home is from Linxi, Liangjiang. In the year of Guimao, he saw that the big nose occupied the northeast and didn't want to retreat, so he left a qiē and came to Liaodong alone to just gather the heroes and drive these big noses out of the northeast. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Dong Laodao knew it in his heart. What an adventure. It's really amazing to run a person inexplicably to have this kind of ability in Liaodong. Thinking of the doubts I saw for the first time just now, it turned out that he was a halfway monk, no wonder. He knew it in his heart, but he asked: "The big boss has such a momentum today, why don't you go to the court to seek peace?" In this land of Liaodong, there are either foreigners or Qing soldiers, if they collude with each other. Together, we will destroy the ......."

Yang Rui knew that he was exploring his future path, and everyone was very kind now, but it was still very important to be able to communicate with each other in the future, and said at the moment: "There is a way that is not to do one, and two are endless." When I came, I already knew that the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not be able to hold this land of China, and it would not be able to protect the people of Li. If you wanted to take refuge, you would have joined the army a long time ago, why did you come to the Northeast to be a beard? Now since he has long disbelieved in the Manchu Qing Tartars. With so many brothers helping, why do you want to vote for him? The lesson of Gengzi is enough, this Manchu Tartar can't be supported, and I am a Han Chinese. What are you going to do with the Tartars? ”

As soon as Yang Rui finished speaking, Dong Laodao sat down and shouted loudly. Yang Rui was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that he had the right appetite for them, and the same political outlook would be the premise of future cooperation between the two sides, and suddenly the atmosphere in the hall eased a lot.

After a night of nothing, after breakfast the next day, Dong Laodao invited Yang Rui a few over, but instead of going to the hall, he went to a small courtyard in the cottage. After a few people sat down, Mrs. Yang asked, "Isn't the big boss here to pull Maoershan to make trouble together?" ”

Yang Rui saw this posture and knew that it was a big deal, but he didn't know that it was still talking about this kind of thing, and said with a smile: "The big boss has misunderstood, and the incident is going to be started, but now the time has not come." I came here for something else. ”

Old Lady Yang and Dong Laodao glanced at each other, strange in their hearts, Dong Laodao asked, "When does the big boss think the time has come?" He didn't ask Yang Rui what he wanted, but asked when the time would come, and wanted to find out Yang Rui's future actions.

Yang Rui didn't dare to divulge the secret of heaven, but said: "The world has been full of hardship for a long time. When the hearts and minds of the people are lost again, then the court will fall apart and a new person will take its place. "Said a vague thing, people of insight today know that the lifeblood of the Manchu court has not been long, but when this day will come, I don't know at all. Mrs. Yang and Dong Laodao also often talk about the fact that the world will change color sooner or later, but when and how the world will change, they can't say why.

Yang Rui finished laughing, and then said: "Although the territory that my brother controls now is large, the area around this eastern road is full of mountains and forests, so I want to go to Shandong to find some people to come over and farm." Shandong has been suffering from famine for several years, and the people are not able to make a living, so if they cross the sea to this side, there may be a way to live. I know that the second leader is from Shandong, and many of the brothers under his command are also from Shandong, so I came here to ask for help. ”

It turned out to be for this matter, although the Northeast did not open the ban, but there are many people who sneaked over, and these people are mostly from Shandong, after all, this Liaoning and Shandong face each other across the sea, and it is very convenient to come and go, if it is a tailwind, it will be there in one day and one night. It's just that Yang Da is just looking for someone to go to Shandong to pull people to the Northeast, is it so simple?

Dong Laodao said: "The big boss is polite, these little things, just call a cub and send a message." Many of the brothers in the cottage are from Shandong, but many of them are wanted by Tartars in Shandong and other prefectures and counties, and they rushed to Shandong, afraid that they would not be able to bear it for a while and ran back to their hometown. If they are arrested by the government, it is not a pity for them to die, but they are afraid of ruining the big boss's affairs. ”

Yang Rui knew the truth about what he said, since Gengzi, these people have been displaced to the banks of the Yalu River, saying that they don't want to go home, it is fake, and there are still village rules in the cottage. In addition, the brothers are also very lively together, once they are put back in Shandong, they can't help but go home to see. Yang Rui said with a smile: "It's good for the second boss to send some people who are not wanted to help, just send a few familiar people from the big boss, as long as they don't act without permission, to keep them safe." And if their families are going to take it over. I can also arrange for someone to pick it up. ”

If the temple representing countless families and ancestral halls is yang, then the rivers and lakes that represent the blank space between home and home, ancestral hall and ancestral hall are yin, just as yang and yin constitute Taiji, and temples and rivers and lakes build the whole world; If the countless families and ancestral halls below the temple are based on Confucianism, then the blank space between families and ancestral halls above the rivers and lakes is based on freedom.

In this era when the regime does not go to the countryside, village cadres, and township cadres, the rivers and lakes are an important part of the world, although they are not orthodox. It is not recognized, and it has been suppressed by successive dynasties, but the power it contains cannot be underestimated. Gengzinian's Yihe Fist is an expression of the power of the rivers and lakes, and this is only a very small part of it. In the Qing Dynasty, this force was organized by "teaching", "door" and "dao" in the north of the Yangtze River, and in the south of the Yangtze River, it was called "hui", "party" and "tang"; If you dig deeper, the "teachings", "Taos", and "doors" in the north have no known origins. They all have a deep relationship with the White Lotus Sect, and the "Hui", "Party", and "Gang" in the south are inseparable from the Heaven and Earth Society in any case.

Jianghu, a place that only exists in martial arts novels in modern times and has been longed for by countless people, is now directly revealed in the last imperial years of the late Qing Dynasty. As a modern person, I know the rivers and lakes, but I don't know the real rivers and lakes, and I even think that the rivers and lakes are only imaginary like later generations, but. As he became more and more familiar with this era, Yang Rui became more and more aware of the difference between this era and later generations from various secret reports in the meeting, and also showed a real existence of the rivers and lakes, as well as the power it contained.

This power in the rivers and lakes. Since the beginning of the Warring States period, it has been carefully used by people with intentions, not to mention the previous dynasty, but most of these rebellions in the Qing Dynasty were used as the main force. The uprising of the Hunan Hui Party planned by the Huaxing Club and the red stick that Sun Wen was sealed by the Hongmen were all trying to borrow this kind of power, of course, they did not understand that with the progress of military science and technology and the exhibition of gunpowder, it became more and more difficult to succeed in this kind of unmasking action. But even so, this force cannot be abandoned, Shandong as the most active place of various sect activities in the Qing Dynasty, if there are no people familiar with the rivers and lakes to participate in the immigration plan, then the lower-level organizations will be a mess. At the same time, if we do not understand these sects in the north, then the construction of base areas in Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu will be half the effort.

And to get in touch with and understand the rivers and lakes in the north, then Dong Laodao is a ready-made key. Yang Rui came to Maoershan with this purpose, of course, it is impossible for him to tell Mrs. Yang and Dong Laodao this matter directly, let alone show it, he can only use immigration as an excuse, and then lead the way to the help of the party to understand, borrow, and transform this late Qing Dynasty Jianghu.

In the eyes of Mrs. Yang and Dong Laodao, Yang Rui's requirements are indeed too low, as people in the rivers and lakes, they can't figure out why Yang Rui came to worship the mountain in person for these little things, and gave a big gift. But although he was puzzled, he did not refuse Yang Rui's request, and soon at the noon banquet, Dong Laodao introduced these leaders to Yang Rui, and after everyone was relatively restrained at first, Yang Rui even made three bowls of wine with them, and the atmosphere became lively. In addition to the chairman, the squad leaders of the other tables who were turned by the bearded people had already mingled with these former brothers, and for a while, the sound of drinking and punching in the hall was endless. Soon the beard drank too much, and the tongue began to knot, and began to mumble:

“…… If you want to kill the big nose back then, it is also unambiguous, but we have killed three into three places, and the big nose that died in my hands has a hundred and a hundred...... If it weren't for Liu Danzi's thousand knives and killing Tang Da's master, would we have come to this point......" The one who spoke was a sturdy and short man, his face was red and black after drinking too much, and he probably talked about killing the Russians with a few mixed Jianglong, and he was talking about the past with excitement.

Yang Rui knew some old things about the loyal and righteous army in Gengzi Nian from Master Ma. I only heard that Liu Danzi of the Loyal and Righteous Army and Yang Yulin of the Zhendong Army are still Wang Yongda and Dong Laodao of the Boxers. In fact, Master Ma Gengzi Nian was just a small minion at that time, and the loyal and righteous army to which Dajiangdong belonged was a bit taboo in many things, and he may not know the truth about Gengzi Nian.

Dong Laodao saw that Yang Rui was surprised, so he said: "This person used to be Zheng Lanting, the leader of the Loyal and Righteous Army, nicknamed Lao Junlu. In the year of Xin Chou, he led the horse team to break Xinbinbao, Fengcheng, Andong and other places. Killed a lot of big noses. ”

Hearing that this person was so powerful, Yang Rui couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and asked again: "Isn't this Liu Danzi the leader of the Loyal and Righteous Army, how can he ......?"

Dong Laodao knew the past very clearly, and when he saw Yang Rui asking, he talked about the old things of Gengzi's year. “…… This Liu Danzi was originally the hunter of the sea dragon. Called Liu Yonghe, because of his outstanding marksmanship, he was called Liu Danzi, he was still in the Jilin Defense Army in the first year, and then returned to Hailong to make a beard after the army. Tang Dianrong, the leader of the Zhendong Army, was a regimental training in Mifeng Mountain, and was later incorporated into the Zhendong Army by the Jilin general Changshun. In the year of Gengzi, the big nose attacked, Tang Dianrong led his troops to defend in Ningguta for more than 40 days, the more he fought, the more brave he became, and the more the big nose fought, he withdrew, and collected tens of thousands of people along the way. This Liu Danzi is also among them, planning to retreat into Hailong to regain his strength.

At this time, Jilin General Changshun heard that there were more than 30,000 people under Tang Dianrong's command, so he sent people to ask him to return to the building. The position of the pipe band set the old subordinate Yang Yulin, the fourteenth king of Yama, as the positive, and Liu Danzi as the deputy. Liu Danzi was resentful when he heard this, and sneaked into Tang Dianrong's tent early one morning, pretending to discuss matters. After taking advantage of his unpreparedness to stab Tang Dianrong, Liu Danzi was taken down immediately, and Tang Dianrong thought that talent was rare, so he ordered someone to release him, but he didn't expect that a good person would have a short life, and Tang Dianrong died of repeated injuries a few days later.

As soon as Tang Dianrong died, he couldn't be coaxed, and the Zhendong Army was divided into two parts, one with Yang Yulin, still called the Zhendong Army; The other is based on Liu Danzi, known as the Loyal Righteous Army. The two had grudges, but under the pressure of the big-nosed soldiers, they could only put aside their personal grudges and fight the enemy unanimously. Liu Danzi later wanted to be appeased, but who expected that he would not be able to do so, but he was deceived to Jilin by the Qing court and the big nose together, and coerced him to order the loyal and righteous army to disarm, Liu Danzi ordered the whole army to surrender in order to save his life, and the loyal and righteous army was dispersed. ”

Originally, looking at the news collected by Wang Jitong from the newspaper, Yang Rui was preconceived, and thought that Liu Danzi was a hero, who knew that this person was so unbearable, no wonder Lao Junlu didn't like him, it seems that it is difficult for these reckless heroes to be measured by modern standards. After thinking about it for a while, Yang Rui asked again: "Then after the loyal and righteous army is dispersed, where did the Zhendong army of Yang Yulin, the Fourteenth Yama King, go, and is it also dispersed?" ”

Dong Lao said: "Some people say that he was also caressed, but he was tied up by the government with a big nose and Liu Yonghe, and some people say that he took the remaining more than 1,000 people to Dongkulu to defect to Jinchang, but this Jinchang was later dismissed and investigated by the Qing court, and after the investigation, they didn't know where they were." ”

The Loyal Righteous Army and the Zhendong Army dissipated like this, and the remaining Boxers were finally in this Maoershan. Yang Rui remembered that after deciding to make the revolution last year, he also discussed the issue of contacting the loyal and righteous army with Zhong Guanguan and Wang Jitong in Shanghai.

Dong Laodao then talked about the old story of Yihequan, which is no different from what Master Ma said. Yang Rui sighed after hearing this: "The royal leader is still too careful, and if the Qing court colludes with foreigners, even Hong Yang can't stop it in the past." ”

Dong Laodao was also like this in his heart, what he meant at the time was to preserve his strength and fight again later, but at that time, everyone was killing blood, and they couldn't stop it, so they had to kill a happy person before stopping, so that two thousand of the three thousand men and horses were surrounded in the Wudaojiang River in Tonghua, and finally were exterminated, and the king and Da of the big boss also died of hard fighting, and the remaining 1,000 old and weak people couldn't hold Maoershan at all. If there are still 3,000 men and horses today, the start of the Russo-Japanese War is a good time to fish in troubled waters.

Dong Laodao thought so in his heart, but he didn't show anything in his mouth, and only asked, "What if it's a big boss?" ”

Yang Rui said: "If it were me, I should avoid its edge, break it into pieces, and dive into the mountains to wait for it to rise again." If there is only a team, there is no territory, then this soldier will not last, and if it cannot be stabilized, it will inevitably disperse, the Qing court and the foreigners can not be fought in one or two strokes, and the situation will hardly improve in ten or twenty years. ”

Dong Laodao looked at Yang Rui and talked eloquently, he had a relative, that's what he said to Wang Heda that day, but ...... Thinking of those brothers who have been dead for many years and don't know where their bones are buried, I suddenly feel sad in my heart. "Hey, the past is not mentioned, the past is not mentioned. Big boss, do this bowl. After that, he took the wine in the bowl and drank it all, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were mixed with the wine in the bowl and swallowed it together.
