President Meng laughed: "Listen to what you said, it seems that if you come, I must be in Huaguo." ”Liu Yongfu was stunned, he also saw that President Meng had the intention of recruiting him, why did he take the initiative to come to the door, President Meng said so instead, with a straight face, not knowing what to say.Everyone was also confused, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in President Meng's gourd.President Meng smiled: "I heard that you like to play chess and want to enter China, so play a game with me first, I want to see your determination." ”Playing chess, can you see people's determination?
This is popular in this era, especially among people with a bit of culture, this is called hand talk.The emergence of the word "hand talk" has a lot to do with the style of Xuanyan Qingyan of the scholar class at that time, and the Qingtan of celebrities and scholars takes the "three mysteries" of Lao, Zhuang and Yi as the talking material.During the two Jin Dynasty periods, the style of conversation was particularly good, and Wang Tanzhi was a scholar class, so he would naturally be affected by this trend, and it was logical to put forward "hand talk" with the help of the concept of "Qing Talk".In addition, Zhigong is well versed in Buddhism, far away from the world, and good at Go, seeking seclusion and retreat in the pattern, and it is reasonable to put forward the statement of "sitting in seclusion".Liu Yongfu suddenly, a warm current surged in his heart, he didn't expect President Meng to respect him so much, he smiled embarrassedly, he misunderstood President Meng, and thought that President Meng deliberately took a shelf, "I can play against the president, Liu Yongfu is fortunate to be the president, please." ”President Meng doesn't know how to play chess, but he just roughly knows a little bit of the rules, and he doesn't even count as a beginner, and he loses not long after playing, "General Liu, it's good." ”Geger chuckled, "I thought you could play chess, but I didn't." ”Liu Yongfu was stunned, and President Meng of the "president" smiled at Jiegege, and was not ashamed of losing."
I said that you are good, you are now the Black Flag Army of Huaguo, not your original Black Flag Army, I hope that you will be able to win Zhankui in the future, and I ordered General Liu to prepare two thousand British Enfield 1866 rifles, and give 200,000 rounds of ammunition first, we are now short of money, if it is not enough, General Liu, you can write at any time, if you can transport the artillery, I can also give you twenty Armstrong mountain guns."
President Meng smiled.Liu Yongfu's eyes were red with emotion, no money, no food, President Meng actually trusted himself so much, gave himself so many weapons and ammunition, and was willing to give artillery "President, I don't know what to say, it's too much, it's really too much, if it's artillery, I can't transport it to Guangxi, it's too far." ”President Meng nodded and said, "Artillery, I will try to give it to you in the future, you can get the guns and ammunition first."
Can you tell me now, who are you fighting for, and why" Liu Yongfu nodded and said: "Fight for the people, fight for the prosperity of the country, fight for the strength of China, and fight for the strength of China, President, I want to live in Hong Kong for a while, I want to apply to join the Huacui Party" President Meng smiled slightly, "Okay, very good, you can tell Zhan Kui directly about these things, and he will arrange it for you." ”Liu Yongfu immediately knelt down for President Meng."
Liu Yongfu and the Black Flag Army, may eternal life serve the president."
President Meng smiled and patted Liu Yongfu on the shoulder, "We are not prosperous in China, we are comrades, we are relatives, your Black Flag Army is now a column of the Black Flag Army under the Ministry of National Defense of China, you should also salute." ”Wang Zhankui smiled and gave Liu Yongfu a standard military salute, Liu Yongfu stood up, followed Wang Zhankui's example, and saluted President Meng with a standard military salute.President Meng also returned Liu Yongfu a military salute, and the two looked at each other and smiled.After Liu Yongfu left, Jiegege said softly: "It's really good at pulling people's heads, aren't you afraid that he will take your things for nothing and not contribute for you" After President Meng accepted Liu Yongfu and the Black Flag Army, he didn't expect to get an unexpected gift package, that is, he contacted the Heaven and Earth Society.The Heaven and Earth Society was the main force in the southern provinces in response to the Taiping Revolution.Although it was broken by the Qing army because of its loose organization and "rising and extinguishing at will", because of its wide coverage and large number of people, it was dotted all over the vast southern China, and responded to every call, which greatly restrained the reactionary ruling forces of the Qing Dynasty, effectively cooperated with the anti-Qing uprising struggle in the Taiping Dynasty, and echoed with the anti-Qing struggle of the Northern Twist Army, forming a great storm of anti-Qing national uprising with the Taiping Dynasty as the center and sweeping the whole country.Tiandihui was founded in 1674 in the thirteenth year of Kangxi, because it worships the heavens as the father, worships the earth as the mother, and the members are brothers and sisters, so it is called the Tiandihui.With the purpose of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", it is called "Hongmen" internally, implying the meaning of the name of "Hongwu".It is divided into many tribes, such as the Knife Society, the Red Money Society, and the Elder Society.The members of the Heaven and Earth Society were mainly bankrupt peasants, craftsmen and other nomads.The Tiandihui originated in Zhangzhou, Fujian, and by the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, it had spread to Fujian, Taiwan, Guangzhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou.After the Taiping Rebellion, the Heaven and Earth Societies and their tribes in various places responded one after another.Tiandihui was founded during the Kangxi period.By the middle of Qianlong, he was mainly engaged in secret anti-Qing activities underground.Since the middle of the Qianlong period, with the intensification of social class contradictions and class struggles, the anti-Qing struggle of the Tiandihui has become increasingly open.During the Taiping Rebellion in the first year of Xianfeng, anti-Qing mass movements were vigorously launched in various parts of the south.Most of them were organized and initiated by members of the Heaven and Earth Society.In the early days of the Taiping Rebellion, the Heaven and Earth Society attacked the Qing rulers in Guangdong and Guangxi.This has resulted in a revolutionary situation in which the ruling class is "poisoned with tea" and a very good situation for the masses of the people.These anti-Qing struggles played a pioneering role in the Taiping Rebellion and its smooth development.Holding high the political banner of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty," the Tiandihui in various parts of the south actively carried out the struggle to overthrow the Qing regime, thus creating favorable conditions for the rapid development of the Huacui Party in China.The Heaven and Earth Society developed widely among overseas Chinese throughout Nanyang, and together with the local people, it made certain contributions to the fight against the brutal rule of the European and American colonial authorities.But the Heaven and Earth Society also has its insurmountable Achilles' heel.First of all, the purpose of the Heaven and Earth Society's "anti-Qing and Ming restoration" played a certain role in organizing the masses to carry out anti-Qing struggles when the association was first established during the Kangxi period, but since the middle of Qianlong, it has been more than 100 years since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and the acute and complex problems in society are not whether to "restore the Ming Dynasty" or not, but that the peasants urgently need to regain the land annexed by the landlords.However, the Heaven and Earth Society has never formulated or put forward a program slogan on the land issue, so it has not been able to mobilize and organize the broad masses of the lower strata to participate in the anti-Qing struggle to the greatest extent.Second, the uprisings and struggles of the Heaven and Earth Society were carried out in a scattered manner, and they never converged into a unified and planned large-scale war.Tiandihui was founded from the Kangxi period to the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods, after more than 100 years, although it has been spread for a long time and spread in a wide area, it has always been a plate of scattered sand.There is never any connection between the local Heaven and Earth Societies, or even the local Heaven and Earth Societies.The scale of each mountain hall is not large, a few people form a meeting, more than dozens of people form a meeting, and it is rare to develop to a mountain hall of hundreds to thousands of people.They do not belong to each other, and they have a strict view of the door.In this case, when the Tiandi Society carried out an armed struggle against the Qing government, it would not be able to form a unified organization, let alone a unified leadership core.As far as the large-scale rebel army led by Lin Shuangwen is concerned, each department has its own banner, year name, team and battle plan.Therefore, the anti-Qing struggle of the Tiandihui was bound to end in failure.With Liu Yongfu's thread, the Huacui Party quickly contacted all parts of the Heaven and Earth Society, and quickly attracted this small group of small groups with a small number but wide distribution to the friendly political forces of China, of course, they did not have a clear purpose, and they could not talk about power, but the Qing court surrounded and suppressed them, and China was friendly to them, and this time the Heaven and Earth Society were pulled over.The Huacui Party is a political party with clear political goals and political programs, and for these ignorant and hazy political groups, the absorption ability is very strong, and it will not take long for them to be assimilated, so that the people of Tiandihui feel that joining the Huacui Party is a revolution and a concrete embodiment of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.In fact, they themselves know how ridiculous it is to clamore all day long to restore the Ming Dynasty, which has been destroyed for two hundred years.t1706231537:
