Foshan Town, under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County, is said to be the largest town in Guangdong.

Foshan Town is particularly lively today, with people coming and going, and the narrow streets are crowded with pedestrians. It turns out that today is the day when the big families in the town jointly hold a temple fair.

In a dilapidated temple outside the town, many men gathered, waiting for something with solemn expressions.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the boss and the others are here." The brother who was showing off shouted while running.

He Liu shouted to his brothers in the temple: "Send incense"

Chen Kai and several of his confidants walked into the gate of the ruined temple and shouted: "I worship heaven as my father, and worship the earth as my mother." He Liu offered incense to the stone statue of Master Guan, bowed three times, and then exited the temple.

Li Wenmao and Gan Xian came to the temple gate with more than a dozen disciples and brothers, and shouted in the same way: "Three times I bow to the sun as my brother, and four times to the moon as my sister-in-law. Pass under the bridge of affectionate and righteous people, and die under the sword of ruthless and unjust people."

"They offered incense and bowed in turn, and returned to the outside of the temple with a solemn expression.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Chun, Chen Xianliang, Guan Ju, and Lin Huanglong arrived here with more than 20 brothers. Lin Huanglong signaled his confidants to wait outside, and shouted in unison with several people: "The earth is shaking."

In Gaogang, there are streams and mountains that are beautiful through the ages; the gate faces the sea, and the Sanhe River flows for thousands of years."

…

In a ruined temple, more than a hundred people gathered here, including more than twenty leaders of various parties in the Guangdong Tiandi Hui, and the rest were also leaders and members.

Seeing that all the people he had invited had arrived, He Liu came to the front of the crowd and said loudly: "I invite all the brothers to gather here today. We really have something important to discuss..."

Li Wenmao from below shouted: "He Liu! Who doesn't know that you have no profit and can't afford to leave early? Just tell me clearly why you invited the brothers from the Guangdong Tiandi Society here? Everyone is really curious."

Li Wenmao was proficient in martial arts, a man of justice and wealth, and he had many disciples and brothers who knew martial arts. He was the most powerful of the Heaven and Earth Halls.

He Liu pulled Wu Hong out and introduced to everyone: "This is a brother from the Fujian Tiandi Society. He comes to Guangdong this time to discuss business..."

Before He Liu could finish his words, he was interrupted again. Guan Ju asked Wu Hong impatiently: "Brother Wu, we know each other! I heard that the Tiandihui brothers in Fujian have built a big family business.

, captured Xiamen, besieged Quanzhou, and beat the Qing army into a state of disarray. They were all great. If Brother Wu lacks anything, I, Guan Ju, will go bankrupt to support him."

Guan Ju's words aroused a chorus of agreement.

Wu Hong cupped his fists and said with a smile: "To be honest with you brothers, two brothers, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Fa, died in the battle in Quanzhou. Our Fujian Ming Army has surrendered to the Han Army. We are here today under the entrustment of Commander Zuo of the Han Army. Please

Brothers, you are revolting against the Qing Dynasty and conspiring against the Qing Dynasty!"

Zhou Chun stroked his beard. He always disagreed with these things that depended on others. He asked Wu Hong: "The Ming Army in Fujian is famous, and we are also famous in Guangdong. I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. With such a situation, why bother?"

How about joining the Han army? You would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. What position does Brother Wu hold in the Ming army, and what position will he hold in the Han army?"

Seeing that everyone agreed with Wu Chun's words, Wu Hong said with a smile: "What brothers think is the same as our Ming army's original idea. Who wants to be under someone else's fence and depend on others? But the Han army is as powerful as a bamboo, and it can win every battle. It can defeat the Ming Dynasty."

The army abandoned its helmet and armor and was routed thousands of miles away.

That power! Brothers may not have imagined that we could not muster the confidence to resist. I served as deputy military advisor in the Ming army, ranking third. After joining the Han army, I was appointed as the commander of the Xiamen garrison.

The position is slightly higher than the prefect, starting from the fourth rank!"

Although everyone was envious, they did not want to show it and let Wu Hong look down on him. In their impression, the fourth-grade official title was the high-ranking magistrate. He usually never left the door or took a step forward. Once he went out, he would ride in a sedan chair and be escorted by government officials.

The more majestic you want, the more majestic you want.

Chen Kai was more realistic and was the first to react and asked: "Brother Wu, since you have joined the Han army, tell us about the situation of the Han army! If it is true that the Han army can conquer the world, of course we must defect to him. After all,

, two brothers, Zhou Peichun and Ge Yaoming, both serve in the Han army. If the Han army is just an illusion, we have to think about the future of hundreds of thousands of brothers."

Wu Hong recalled the strength of the Han army and was entranced for a moment, muttering to himself: "There are eleven armies of the Han army, each ranging from 10,000 to 40,000 people. I have seen

Those include the First Army, the Eleventh Army, and the Fifth Army."

Wu Wenmao also wanted to know the difference between his disciples and the Han army, so he loudly said: "Brother Wu, just pick up the most elite troops and tell us."

Seeing that they didn't know how high the sky was, Wu Hong smiled bitterly and thought, weren't we so arrogant back then, thinking that we could conquer a kingdom and enjoy glory and wealth with our brothers?

"The most elite soldiers and horses I have ever seen were undoubtedly the First Army. They were still in Zhejiang at that time. I was ordered to go to the Han army to liaise. I was fortunate enough to see the Han army attack Jinhua. At that time, the Qing imperial envoy He Chun prepared an army of 60,000

Hold on to dangerous places,

I didn’t expect the Han army to attack Jinhua Mansion in one day. I have never seen that scene in my life. For example, the Qing army is stationed on a hilltop, commanding a high position, with cannons and muskets. If you attack this hilltop, what will you do?"

Li Wenmao was very interested in this and felt that it was a test of the gap between himself and the Han army. After thinking for a while, he took the lead and replied: "Of course I will send my brothers to rush up. Although there will be some losses, as long as the brothers are not afraid of death, they can still

Captured."

Wu Hong recalled the scene at that time and said: "At that time, the Han army had less than 2,000 people, while the Qing army had more than 3,000 people."

Li Wenmao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and replied: "Then I have no choice. The Qing soldiers are numerous and powerful, and they have guns and artillery to help them. If they don't come to attack, I will burn incense. How can I provoke them?"

Thinking that he was no longer a party member, Wu Hong immediately regarded himself as a member of the Han army and said with a proud smile: "The Han army only brought three cannons. After firing them ten times, more than a thousand people rushed towards the mountain in two directions.

The troops only held out for half an hour before they scrambled to flee, and all their muskets and cannons were abandoned."

A party member laughed and said: "The Qing army is no big deal!"

Li Wenmao lectured: "Fart! If the Qing army cannot fight, will the Zhou brothers be forced to Jiangxi to join the Han army?"

He Liu had long been persuaded by Wu Hong to join the Han army, explaining: "This just shows how terrifying the Han army is. We have no way to resist. I heard that the Han army invaded Fuzhou and encountered fierce resistance from the Qing army.
