With great curiosity, Fan Tong and Cao Peng rushed to Chen Qingsong's office during the lunch break, opened the door and asked:
"Old Chen, which hall master will come from Heaven and Earth? Hongshun Hall or Qingmu Hall?"
"No, no, Qingmu Hall is in charge of Jiangsu, and Lianhua Hall is in charge of Fujian. Don't you think so? Comrade Chen."
Chen Qingsong couldn't laugh or cry, and his nap arrangement was ruined. He had no choice but to stand up and make tea, while saying to Fan and Cao: "Do you really believe it? That's martial arts."
Cao Peng sat down on the chair and argued unconvinced: "How can it be a martial arts? Chen Jinnan and Chen Yonghua, the chief rudders of the Tiandihui, are historical figures."
"That's right!" Fan Tong said in support: "The Heaven and Earth Society is the Hongmen. The so-called Hongmen in the world came out of Shaolin."
When Chen Qingsong heard about it, he even brought it up in Shaolin Temple.
The two took the tea cups and said, "Old Chen, let's talk about it."
Chen Qingsong said: "I don't know the specific situation yet. The Police Headquarters will question Yan Yan this afternoon."
Cao Peng said: "Why do you think they came?"
Fan Tong was the first to say, "I guess he's here to ask for help."
Chen Qingsong took out a cigarette and threw it to the two of them. After lighting it, he said, "Xiao Fan, are you okay? You've guessed this?"
"That's right!" Fan Tong said triumphantly: "We are also people who like to read. According to history, it is time for Fukang'an and Hailancha to land at this time, and win the first battle at Bagua Mountain."
"You can pull him down!" Cao Peng rolled his eyes at Fan Tongyong and said, "Isn't it from the set of "Emperor Qianlong" brought by Li Xiaobo? Since the fight came, I think you have been upset. That is not history."
Chen Qingsong said: "Xiao Cao's words are on point. Hailancha has been beaten to death by us a long time ago. Your 'reference' is meaningless."
Fan Tong then remembered that Hai Lancha in this time and space had already received the lunch box, and couldn't help but sigh: "You are really ruthless. You picked a general from Qianlong."
Cao Peng said: "Revolting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, we have Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother. What about Old Chen? Cooperate with them?"
Chen Qingsong said: "I don't care about military matters. But I don't think Zhao Xin will agree."
"Why?" Fan and Cao asked in unison.
"You don't know, Zhao Xin despises these gang members the most, saying they are more hateful than the Qing army. When he went to northern Jiangsu before, he captured several White Lotus Sect members and threw them into the coal mines in Ezo."
"..."
Chen Qingsong glanced at the time, put out his cigarette, waved his hand and said: "Enough chatting, let's get busy."
Fan Tong and Cao Peng said, "Can we go and see something?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Can we be present during the interrogation? Nothing else. I'm just curious. A bunch of guys at the construction site are craning their necks waiting for news about us."
"You two are so free!"
Fan Tong said with a smile: "Hey, this is just a free day. Once the equipment starts to be installed, you will have to work overtime day and night. Comrade Chen, Brother Chen, please help me."
Chen Qingsong knew that Fan Tong was telling the truth. For the current infrastructure project of the power plant, Wu Ping An reports the progress to Chen Qingsong every day. People like Fan Tong who do inspections have nothing to do all day long before the equipment is installed. Once the equipment is installed, they will be busy.
Chen Qingsong thought for a while and then warned: "It's okay to sit in, but you can only go to one. I'll call Katayama to talk to him later. But you two, remember, don't talk nonsense."
Fan Tong said: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."
...
After Yan Yan and his party were disembarked at the port by a tugboat, they were placed in two adjacent small courtyards in the west of Beihai Town. Yan Yan, Liao Dong, and the three people on the front of the Fuchuan lived in one courtyard, while the rest of the people crowded in the adjacent courtyard.
The dignified magistrate and the escorting general had to sleep in the same room, which made Yan Yan and Liao Dong very dissatisfied.
What made the two most angry was that there were actually several Beihai Town soldiers holding "muskets" outside the yard. Liao Dong tried it out on the pretext of going out to the latrine, but those people refused to let him out at all; one of them pointed to the shed in the southwest corner of the yard and said that the latrine was there.
"What do we think we are? Prisoners?" Liao Dong shouted dissatisfied.
Yan Yan was also dissatisfied, but still advised: "A Dong, we came here without saying hello, so people should be careful. When I meet the King of Zhao and read him the letter from the Generalissimo, he will definitely think... Treat each other with courtesy."
At noon, several women carried lunch on their shoulders to the people in the two courtyards. When everyone took a look, they saw snow-white rice and steamed buns, as well as pickled fish, pickled venison, stewed radish, and a bottle of wine.
Liao Dong asked dissatisfied: "Why only one bottle? How is this enough to drink?"
Several women put the food on the table, turned around and left, but no one paid any attention to Liao Dong.
"Stop! I'm asking you a question!" Liao Dong was furious, but he didn't dare to be rude on the territory of Beihai Town.
"Forget it, A Dong. I guess I have something to do in the afternoon. It's not appropriate to drink too much."
Everyone ate hastily, and after a while, the women came again and put away the dishes quickly.
Later, I heard someone calling in Zhangzhou dialect outside the door: "Are Mr. Yan and Mr. Liao here? Our director has invited us."
Yan Yan, Liao Dong and the three people in the boat were shocked, wondering why there were still Zhangzhou people here?
The three of them opened the door and saw a lean man wearing a blue-black half-length cotton robe and a leather hat standing in the yard.
Yan Yan stood up and walked to the door, cupped his hands and said, "I, Yan Yan, may I ask who you are?"
This man is no longer the hidden cloth merchant of the past. He is the magistrate of Changhua County under Lin's regime, and he calls himself an official at every turn.
Liao Dong also raised his hand and said: "I am under the command of the Grand Marshal of the Shuntian Alliance, escorting the General Liao Dong."
Facing these two imposing guys, the lean man had no expression on his face. He just cupped his fists and said, "I am sent by the Beihai Town Police Headquarters. Our director wants to see Mr. Yan and Mr. Liao."
"Police? Headquarters? Director?"
Yan Yan and Liao Dong stared at each other, completely unable to understand. Could this be the official position in the Ming Dynasty?
Liao Dong raised his hands and said, "Excuse me, what kind of yamen is this 'General Administration'?"
"It's the Police Headquarters. In Beihai Town, catching thieves and managing street security are under the jurisdiction of the public security police. Foreign merchants must also register with the General Headquarters first."
"Oh! It turns out to be the Wucheng Army and Horses Division." Yan Yan suddenly realized, and then he raised his hands and said, "May I ask what your surname is?"
"Surname Pian."
Only then did Liao Dong ask the lean man, "Are you from Zhangzhou?"
"Yes."
"May I ask your surname?"
"I don't dare. My surname is Bo, and my only name is Zhi."
The bow of the boat suddenly said: "Are you from the Dan family?"
This person asked this question because in the early Qing Dynasty, the imperial court began to organize the Dan family into households. Because they had been wandering at sea for many years, some Dan family members took "Bo" as their surname.
He has a Zhangzhou accent and his surname is Bo. Isn't he a Danhu or what?
Security policeman Bozhi just nodded. His family is from the Dan family in southern Fujian. Later, he got into a lawsuit and ran to Guangdong to join the Zheng family's Red Flag Gang. The year before last, he followed Zheng Yi and the others to Beihai Town.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Yan Yan was secretly surprised when he heard this. He thought that Beihai Town's hand had reached to southern Fujian, and even the gangsters along the coast of southern Fujian had come to join the gang.
Yan Yan went back to the house to get a baggage, and gave the bow of the boat a few instructions. Then he and Liao Dong followed security policeman Bo Zhi and went out to the west.
Soon, the three of them arrived outside a large courtyard on the east side of Beihai Town Square.
"It's just ahead." Bo Zhi pointed to the yard and said to the two of them.
Yan Yan and the two walked to the door of the yard and saw a long sign painted with white paint hanging on the left side of the door, with the words "Beihai Town Public Security Police Headquarters" written in black pen from top to bottom.
When you walk into the gate, you are faced with a large two-story wooden structure building. Countless thick logs are stacked together in an orderly manner, which is very majestic. This made Yan and Liao immediately feel depressed and tremble.
The two of them were from the lower class of society. Before Lin Shuangwen's uprising, when he met the landlords, gentry, scholars and officials, they were all groveling and did not even dare to breathe, for fear of upsetting the old men and giving them a slap in the face.
Even though most of Taiwan was captured and these people were banned from official positions, they still called Lin Shuangwen eldest brother. They were informal when meeting, sitting and standing casually, and they still looked like scoundrels.
There are two courtyards on the east and west sides, both of which are houses and courtyard walls made of wood. The gate to the east courtyard is open, and people are coming in and out; while the gate to the west courtyard is closed, and I don't know what it is for.
There was a flagpole standing at the door of the wooden building on the front, and the flag on the top was rattling in the howling north wind. Yan and Liao looked up and saw a strange-shaped white ring painted on the flag, with a white five-star inside, but the middle part between the ring and the five-star was black.
Yan Yanxin asked why there wasn’t even a name on the flag? The shape and specifications of the buildings in Beihai Town were completely different from those in the south, which made the two of them extremely curious.
Bo Zhi led the two of them into the wooden building in the front, and after a while, they arrived at the door of a room on the first floor.
Bo Zhi knocked on the door twice and heard someone inside the room say: "Come in."
After Yan and Liao entered the door, they were hit by a wave of heat. It was dry and dry, which made him, a southerner, extremely uncomfortable.
There was a long table in the room, covered with a light blue tablecloth, and two people were sitting on the opposite side of the long table, talking.
Bo Zhi stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the director, Mr. Yan and Mr. Liao have arrived."
The person called the director is a short, middle-aged man with a serious face; the one on the right is a tall, fat man. Both of them wore the same style of blue-black shorts and pants, and had short hair like a monk.
"Are you Mr. Yan? I am Katayama, the director of the Beihai Town Police Department, and this is Mr. Fan."
Yan and Liao quickly raised their hands in greeting, and after some greetings, they sat down.
"I am now the magistrate of Changhua County. This time I came here on the order of the Grand Marshal, the leader of my family's Shuntian Alliance, to pay a special visit to King Zhao." After Yan Yan said this, he took out a letter and handed it to Katayama.
Fan Tong went over to take a look and saw a large seal on the cover of the letter with the words "Generalissimo, Chief of the Shuntian Alliance" written on it. When Katayama finished reading it and handed it to him, he saw that the writing on it was very clumsy. The general idea was that Yan Liao and his two men were sent to Beihai Town to meet King Zhao, and their positions and appearance were noted. The meaning was nothing more than that they wanted to be with Beihai. The town united to fight against the Qing Dynasty, hoping that Beihai Town could send troops south to support.
Fan Tong, the county magistrate, naturally understood what it was, but what was this "escort general"?
Fan Tong became curious, and based on what he saw as the "Hongmen Encyclopedia", he couldn't help but ask: "Are you two members of the Heaven and Earth Society?"
"Exactly."
"Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother, rebel against the Qing Dynasty and revive the Ming Dynasty?"
Yan Yan and Liao Dong: "..."
"Then you respect Hong Ying as your ancestor?"
"Ah?" Yan and Liao were stunned for a moment, wondering who the hell is Hong Ying?
"What about the Yonghua Hall of Shaolin Temple? Where are Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu?"
Yan Yanxin said that what Mr. Fan asked was all nonsense. He knew about the Shaolin Temple, but he had never heard of either Hong or Fang.
Fan Tong saw the two people's confused expressions and knew that he had been dazzled by the film and television again. He didn't give up, thought for a while and asked: "Boss Mr. Chen, you guys should know, right?"
Yan and Liao rolled their eyes and said, "Well, this association does not have the position of chief helmsman."
Fan Tong lost his temper. The reality was completely different from what he knew. So he spread his hands and said to Katayama, "I have no problem. You can ask."
What he didn't know was that the later theories about the origin of the Tiandi Society with the purpose of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty were mainly because many researchers relied too much on the confusing and unbelievable founding legends within the Tiandi Society. Secondly, they combined the Tiandi Society with the sects. Confused.
You must know that gathering people to rebel is only one of the secret society's many motivations for forming associations. "Anti-Qing and Fuming" is not the purpose of the Tiandihui. Many legends of the Tiandihui slowly developed after Jiaqing. The so-called The conflict between Manchu and Han is even more nonsense.
Those were all given by people during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
Before the Jiaqing Dynasty, the main force in the rebellion by the descendants of Guituo Mingshi was actually the secret sect; the Dacheng Sect, Baiyang Sect, Qingshui Sect, Bagua Sect, Sanyang Sect, etc. were collectively referred to as the White Lotus Sect.
And why did Zheng Kai (Monk Tixi) found the Tiandihui back then?
Without him, he can collect money.
During the day, they pretend to be monks, and at night they gather to gamble, drink and go to prostitutes. After Tixi died, his son Zheng Ji inherited the temple, and it was still the same.
I think that when Yan Yan was recruited by Tixi's direct disciple Chen Biao, he paid a thousand yuan. When Yan Yan recruited disciples in Zhangzhou and Taiwan, each of them had to pay a Spanish eagle or a thousand cash. , it’s really a good business.
Fan Tong stopped asking, and Katayama said solemnly: "How did you two find us?"
Yan Yan did not intend to hide it, so he said: "When we passed Ryukyu on our way north, we also made inquiries from many sources, and later we found out about it from a businessman from North Korea."
"What's the businessman's name?"
"Lee Doohuan. "
Katayama thought for a moment before remembering that among the three Koreans who came to Beihai Town last year, there was indeed a businessman named Li Douhuan. After that, he asked about the time of the boat trip and the places it passed, and Yan Yan also told them one by one.
Finally, Katayama said: "My lord is busy with things and has no time to see you. He asked me to tell you two that it is impossible to send troops. However, if the Qing army is too powerful and you cannot resist, you can take a boat to Beihai Town to take refuge." "
Before Yan Yan could speak, Liao Dong sneered and said, "What a joke! The Generalissimo has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. He must have captured Taiwan's capital by now."
"Since you are so good at fighting, why did you come to us?"
Yan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Master Pian, I've been waiting for thousands of miles..."
Katayama interrupted: "We didn't invite you, you found it yourself."
"You!" Liao Dong finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table.
Katayama said coldly: "If you two want to do business with Beihai Town, we welcome it. However, the rules here are different from those in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. You should pay more attention when you go out. Bo Zhi is from southern Fujian. It is easy for you to communicate. I’ll let him accompany me.”
During dinner, Cao Peng and others saw Fan Tong returning to the dormitory and hurriedly came over to inquire.
"How's it going? Can you tell me anything interesting?"
"Are there five front halls and five back halls?"
"Who is their chief helmsman now?"
...
Faced with a lot of questions, Fan Tong said "cut" and said to Cao Peng and others: "Stop asking, there is nothing you want to know, they are all fake!"
