Siheyuan: Starting from Saving Qin Huai Ru

Chapter 757 Building Liangjiang Base

"As the saying goes, it's good to smile when you meet each other."

"Today I met the three heroes of Gang Leader Gao, Elder Mi, and Tiandihui. Naturally, I am very happy. And brother Mao Shiba is also full of pride and admiration."

Haikun stood up and raised his wine glass, and everyone stood up to raise their glasses in the same way.

Although he has never shown how strong his martial arts are, but today, as a middleman, Lingqing Gang and Tiandihui will reconcile the conflicts. From then on, he will be a famous person in the world.

Although this reputation belongs to the bandits in the Jianghu, it is the best way to use it in the Jianghu to attract some subordinates.

Because of what he accomplished today, everyone in the Qing Gang naturally respected him, and Jia Laoliu and the three members of the Tiandihui also respected him; I respect Haikun more and more, and feel that he is a hero and a character.

"From then on, we are good friends who take care of each other in the rivers and lakes!"

"When you meet a friend who is in trouble, you can reach out to help. Naturally, you can't make trouble..."

Haikun's words attracted the approval of Jia Laoliu, Gao Gangzhu and others, and they all talked about how they punish traitors and how to implement loyalty.

This tells a story, that tells a friend's story.

Taking advantage of the drunkenness, the hero cherishes the hero, and they look at each other more pleasingly.

The reconciliation was completely completed on the wine table.

Haikun looked at this scene with a smile on his face, and asked, "Several friends, what happened in Yangzhou City recently, would you like to tell me?"

Mao Shiba said: "I'm in the prison, hiding after I escaped, but I don't know what's going on in Yangzhou City."

The leader of the Green Gang Gao said: "There is no special movement. One is that Brother Mao Shiba was rewarded with 2000 taels of silver after he escaped from prison. It is really impressive."

"The other one is the crown prince Shaobao Aobai of the Qing court. He sent some people to Yangzhou City. It seems that he wants to arrest some people. The leader is called Jiujiebian Shi Song. I heard that he is a good fighter."

Jia Laoliu said, "I know that!"

"Oboi, that dog thief, has been a thorn in our Tiandihui's side ever since he killed Yin Xiangzhu; this Yangzhou is where our Qingmutang activities are, and Aobai sent people here to find our brothers from the Tiandihui."

When Jia Laoliu said this, the head of the Green Gang Gao and Elder Mi both looked a little uncomfortable.

Jia Laoliu scolded them for being private salt dealers, not daring to rebel against the Qing, and indeed he was not wrong--I heard that Oboi, the number one warrior in Manchuria, was the crown prince Shaobao, and wanted to arrest the members of the Tiandihui, but the three people in front of him actually It is the members of the Tiandihui, if they are involved, the entire Green Gang will be implicated.

The Manchurians murdered ruthlessly, and Yangzhou and Jiading were famous far and wide; not to mention the Crying Temple case, the Tonghai case, and the Zuoxiao case, they were ruthless, killing and beating Jiangnan scholars, landlords and gentry.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the situation that the Jiangnan area was in the hands of the gentry and literati and was not subject to the orders of the central government was resolved by the knife of the Manchurians, and it was truly under the rule of the central government; although it was ruled by a foreign race, the orders of the Manchurians were far more majestic than the mascot emperor of the Ming Dynasty. .

Facing such a Manchu Qing, how could the Green Gang dare to oppose the Qing?
Haikun took everyone's reactions into his eyes, smiled, and said: "The two incidents that happened in Yangzhou City are actually one thing, that is, anti-Qing."

"Mao Shiba escaped from prison to oppose the Qing Dynasty; Oboi sent people to arrest the friends of the Tiandihui, and it was also because the friends of the Tiandihui opposed the Qing Dynasty."

"Friends from the Green Gang, friends from the Tiandihui, which one of you is willing to take in my friend Mao Shiba? Let's solve the first problem first, and then talk about how to solve the second problem."

Jia Laoliu, the three Tiandihui members, and Mao Shiba were all shocked when they heard this.

This Mr. Haikun, dressed as a Taoist priest, is so loyal and responsible!
These two matters had nothing to do with him, but he just met today, and he is willing to help solve the trouble?

Leader Gao and Elder Mi of the Green Gang were also surprised, thinking to themselves: What would Mr. Haikun do to help Mao Shiba and Tiandi?Wouldn't it be comfortable for us to sell private salt and collude with some officials and soldiers to make a fortune together?
However, they had to give Mr. Haikun face.

Although they don't know why they must give Mr. Haikun this face, but they must give...

I only heard Jia Laoliu from Qingmutang of Tiandihui say: "Mr. Hai, this matter is not difficult. I think Mao Shiba is a reliable friend, and he is willing to recommend Guan Anji to our Qingmutang brother Guan."

"If Big Brother Guan agrees to let him enter our Qingmu Hall and fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty together, it will be considered a beautiful thing!"

Haikun smiled knowingly and asked: "Oh? Brother Guan? Is this the current Qingmutang Xiangzhu?"

Jia Laoliu was a little embarrassed - he was also embarrassed to say that Guan Anji was his brother-in-law.

"Brother Guan is called Master Guan by people in the Jianghu. He has a long beard that rivals Duke Guan. He is brave and resourceful."

"After the tragic death of Master Yin Xiang, the entire Qingmu Hall is headed by him, and it is already a certainty that he will be the next Xiang Master."

Haikun nodded, but didn't expose him—everyone in Qingmu Hall clearly said that whoever killed Oboi in the end and avenged Yin Xiangzhu would be the next Xiangzhu.

When it comes to Jia Laoliu, because Guan Anji is his brother-in-law and has a chance to become the incense master, this kind of oath is not even mentioned.

When he goes to the capital to kill Oboi, Haikun will naturally find a way to subdue Guan Anji and Li Lishi, the two leaders of Qingmutang's internal forces; therefore, there is no need to talk to Jia Laoliu now.

When Mao Shiba heard that the heroes of the Tiandihui were willing to ask him to join the association, he was very excited and cheered repeatedly.

Haikun smiled: "The first thing is settled like this."

"Second thing, Oboi sent people to arrest the friends of the Tiandihui, can the Qing Gang help the Tiandihui?"

Leader Gao of the Green Gang and Elder Mi both felt troubled.

Mao Shiba wants to join the Tiandihui, and the Tiandihui wants our Qing Gang to help. After all, it means that we, the group of illegal salt sellers, will take over all the troubles at once?

If it wasn't for Mr. Hai's face, they had to give it. They really wanted to leave Mingyufang before they could catch the three of Tiandihui and Mao Shiba all at once, and send them to the government for rewards!
But, again, they must listen to Mr. Hai's words.

Both stood up and said to Hai Kun, "I would like to listen to Mr. Hai's orders."

Hai Kun said with a smile: "Since this is the case, there are friends from the Laoqing Gang, who will help the friends of the Tiandihui find out where to hide and avoid Aobai's eyes and ears."

"Follow your orders." Green Gang Leader Gao and Elder Mi said.

This kind of attitude surprised Jia Laoliu and Mao Shiba.

Surprised by the illicit salt sellers of the Qing Gang, who can be so tolerant and magnanimous, regardless of past suspicions; also surprised by Mr. Haikun's prestige in words and deeds. , and spread it in the Jianghu, that is an indomitable figure, famous and well-known!
After Jia Laoliu and Mao Shiba expressed their gratitude to Haikun and the Qingbang, they pushed and pulled politely. After all, they accepted the "warm kindness" of the Qingbang.

As local snakes who sell private salt, they want to hide four people, but it is really too simple, and the government will definitely not find them.

As expected by Jia Laoliu and others, Haikun's reputation really spread.

People in the rivers and lakes near the two rivers all know that there is a man who speaks well and is like a big brother in the Tao. People in the rivers and lakes call "Mr. Hai". .

Unknowingly, more than ten days passed, Jia Laoliu took Mao Shiba to the capital, Qingmutang had activities in the capital, and Mao Shiba had to go to the capital to meet Guan Anji and others to join Qingmutang.

The other two Tiandihui members do not belong to the Qingmu Hall, so naturally they returned to the main hall.

In fact, the activity of Qingmutang is to discuss how to assassinate Oboi. Aobai sent people to Yangzhou to arrest the people from Tiandihui, but he didn't know that the people from Qingmutang from Tiandihui sneaked into the capital to assassinate him.

And in the past ten days, Haikun has no leisure, he is busy controlling others every day, and even the Green Gang pays him to go to Mingyufang to sleep and clean up the ladies, but he only tastes a few.

First control the Qinggang, and then find the biggest official official and general manager that the Qinggang knows.

After controlling them, Haikun took control of the county magistrate level on the third day, prefect and general soldier on the fourth day, governor and governor of Liangjiang on the fifth day, and began to check and make up for gaps on the sixth day, such as the leader of the Manchu garrison, such as a certain These lackeys who are loyal to the Qing court.

After more than ten days, the Liangjiang area around Yangzhou has quietly become Haikun's preliminary anti-Qing base.

Of course, prefects, governors, governors, garrisons, general soldiers, etc., of course they are willing to obey orders, but at present it is impossible to raise the banner of anti-Qing with Haikun, they can only look at their support.

In name they are all Manchu Qing bureaucrats, but in fact they are officials on the surface, and the highest order is already Haikun.

In this sense, what Haikun has done in the past ten days has surpassed all the efforts of the Tiandihui in the past 20 years, and surpassed all the anti-Qing Jianghu forces in the entire world.

Which one of them can win the land of the governors of the two provinces and use it as a base for real development?
However, Haikun also knows that he can't think that everything will be fine at this point, and he can directly raise troops.

Without sufficient preparation, patience and infiltration, Liangjiang, a base that revolted against the Qing, could easily turn into a group of bare-handed commanders who resisted the Qing court, with no deterrent power at all.

Haikun asked these top officials in the Liangjiang area to quietly replace, suppress, and clean up some loyal dogs of the Qing court. This process will continue for a while.

And Qian Liang Bingjia also had to prepare quietly.

It is also necessary to dig out some imperial spies and the like and clean them up.

Haikun didn't need to do all these preparatory work one by one, but left it to these people to do it quietly, not seeking meritorious service, only paying attention to a subtle influence, and it was enough to make achievements in a few years.

He should set off to the capital to collect 42 chapters.

The first goal is to collect 42 chapters, and the second goal is to fight against the Qing Dynasty. After all, they must go hand in hand.

However, before leaving, Haikun still had some things to do.

For example, how can there be only nicknames for loyalty in the world, but no nicknames for murder and kung fu?

If he doesn't kill a few people, he doesn't have much prestige in his words.

Without killing a few people, how can you successfully break into the Tiandihui and integrate the anti-Qing forces for your own use?
Besides, fights in the rivers and lakes are usually like swords, fists and palms.

Haikun should also find out his feelings and compare his own force with that of this world.

On this day, Shi Song, who was ordered by Oboi, finally found out about the traces of rebels from the Heaven and Earth Society on Desheng Mountain outside Yangzhou City. People, accompanied by two helpers carrying packages.

Taking a closer look, Shi Song smiled: "I heard that recently there was a fake Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe on the ground in Yangzhou. He refused to obey the imperial court's order to shave his hair, and he knew that heaven and earth would rebel. His name was Mr. Hai."

"Is that you?"

Haikun nodded: "That's right, it's me."

Shi Song smiled, and stepped forward with a long whip in his hand: "It's just you, I will arrest you and bring you to justice, and get promoted and get rich!"

While speaking, he flicked the long whip and drew it head-on.

Hai Kun stretched out his hand to catch the long whip, and Shi Song's face suddenly changed - this man has so much strength, his whip can't be pulled back!
Afterwards, Hai Kun pulled hard, causing Shi Song's hand to hurt sharply, and the long whip came out immediately.

Before he could react, Haikun threw the whip on the ground, raised his hand and punched him.

Shi Song dodged hastily, reaching out to draw the saber from his waist.

But he didn't know why Haikun's fist was so fast. Before he could react, the fist had already hit his head, and he was beaten to death as soon as his eyes went dark, and he kept drawing the knife before dying.

Seeing this scene, Haikun shook his head slightly.

"After all, the experience of fighting in the rivers and lakes is poor, it all depends on strength and speed."

With the same strength and speed, Hai Kun couldn't pull Shi Song's nine-section whip, and when he swung his fist, it was easier for Shi Song to dodge it. Or get hurt.

The so-called "movements" in Jianghu may sound ridiculous, but in essence, they are the means to find opportunities, create fierce killer moves, and force the opponent to dodge.

If the opponent can't dodge in time, of course they can only be attacked.

That is to say, the moves are very useful when there is not much difference in internal strength, strength, and speed.

When the enemy's speed is very fast, the strength is very strong, and the internal force is very strong, the move is to show fists and embroider legs...

Thinking of this, Haikun thought of a famous paradox in Jin Yong's martial arts, that is, Linghu Chong, who was seriously injured and unable to use his internal strength, used his "movements" to instantly kill the top masters in the world. It's purely unreasonable and illogical things like a branch breaking through three thousand and more armor.

After pondering for a few seconds, Hai Kun looked at the panicked subordinates brought by Shi Song, drew out Shi Song's saber, and killed them all.

Trying moves with people is the first step to master fighting.

To fight and kill is to enter the rivers and lakes.

After killing Shi Song and his group, Hai Kun will not hold back anymore, and in the name of Mr. Hai, an anti-Qing righteous man, will kill all Qing loyal dogs in the Liangjiang area - he doesn't need to control some people, just kill them directly, and let them The governor, magistrate, etc. under his control are replaced by his own people, which is just right to run the two Jiang bases.

All of a sudden, Mr. Hai became famous, and the government's reward quickly reached [-] taels.
