Chapter 240 The past before the founding of the country
The Zhao family has always been a wealthy man in the south. Since the Ming Dynasty, the Jiangnan nobles have supported the Donglin Party to control the government. The collusion between officials and businessmen has formed a large number of local Jiangnan tycoons, and the Zhao family is one of them.
The government's control is not what it used to be.
The small imperial court in the Jinling area was even more primitive. The Zhao family was not particularly powerful, but it had its place. Later, Wu Sangui introduced Qing troops into the pass, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. A large number of powerful people either surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, or were simply annihilated by the years.
Among the long rivers, only the Zhao family was always loyal to the royal family of the Ming Dynasty and was unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. So they took over people to run the family property in the south of the Yangtze River.
Adhere to the golden mean and live a stable life.
The fall of the Qing Dynasty was imminent, and the head of the Zhao family at that time asked several young and promising people in the family to join the revolution, successfully joined the ranks, continued the development of the family, and established themselves in Jinling for a long time.
It was just that during the late Qing Dynasty, when all the heroes came together and warlords separated themselves, they also offended a warlord at that time.
Compared to the Zhao family, which has a distinguished family, their enemy started out in the rough. To put it harshly, he was a second-rate man. By chance, he was taught by a strange man in the late Qing Dynasty. He had good martial arts and was very courageous.
Da, it is also the current events that create people. At that time, he accidentally got drunk and beat someone to death. He thought that instead of sitting back and waiting for death, he might as well not do anything without stopping, and simply rebel against his mother!
They gathered a group of old brothers, robbed their homes, and took the money to exchange for tobacco, soot and bullets. In just three months, they formed a large team near Jinling. At that time, they even joined forces with nearby bandits and warlords. On weekdays,
He excavated ancient tombs to fund the army. He gave money to women and women to women.
It is also located in the prosperous Jinling area, but it has become a major disaster for the local area.
At that time, there were some gentry in the Jiangnan area who participated in the revolution, but the majority of the family members stayed there. Being harassed by this bandit was miserable, so the villagers went to petition these powerful gentry, hoping that they would come forward.
Solve these people's problems.
The Zhao family was the leader at that time. The head of the Zhao family, who was nearly seventy years old at the time, still personally taught the young men in the family how to lift the sliding pole and personally stepped forward to supervise the battle.
This fierce battle lasted for more than two years, resulting in numerous casualties. In the end, the men led by the Zhao family gained the upper hand and completely surrounded the group on a mountain.
The villain was extremely ferocious. Although he already had relatively advanced thermal weapons and guns at that time, he was still very ferocious.
This evil thief is also bloody, and he actually tried his best to seriously injure the head of the Zhao family. The old man had no strength to restrain the chicken, but he had a strong sense of integrity and forced himself up the mountain. When he was injured, he cursed, "Everyone wants evil thieves.
I have no sworn relationship with this beast, and I will definitely exterminate its entire clan as a reward for the elders in the south of the Yangtze River!" He died in front of the battle.
As soon as the old man died, the encirclement and suppression people became even more powerful and immediately rushed forward.
When the thief saw it, he also knew that there was no way to save his life, so he retreated. At that time, he was still brazen and said that he would not let him find an opportunity and that they would not let the Zhao family's chickens and dogs stay.
Later, the Zhao family didn't take it seriously, and all the thief's wives and concubines stayed on the mountain, along with their children.
The thieves have no feelings for these wives and children. Many of them are the seeds left behind when he was the king of the mountain and the wife of Yazhai who was captured on the mountain. This person is also a proper bad person and does not care at all. However, the people are excited and give him
All the old, weak, women and children left in the village were killed.
The common people felt even more indignant and even set fire to the village on the mountain. The fire was so raging that it even affected the mountain forest. The wildfire burned into one piece and left the mountainous area bare.
Along with this fire, the craze that swept the local area came to an abrupt end.
The Zhao family buried the old man's body in a grand ceremony, thinking that the matter had stopped, but who knew that several heirs of the Zhao family had died one after another, all of them young people in the family, which caused panic for a while.
Finally, someone left a note, "Blood debt must be paid with blood"!
Everyone couldn't help but guess that the bandit leader escaped by chance and did not die in the fire that burned the mountain. He came here to take revenge. For a while, people were panicked. Several other families who were encircling and suppressing the army also came out.
A big change occurred.
All suffered heavy casualties.
But this time there were few enemies, and they were in the dark. It was impossible to figure out his details, and he didn't know where he came from.
The shadow of death floated over the heads of the descendants of the Zhao family, like a lingering haze, and it lasted ten years.
This person was never caught. Although he gradually reduced his attacks because of his increased vigilance, ten years later, he committed a major case and killed all members of the Zhao family. Thirty-six members of the family died.
, and this time, because there was too much movement, the person finally missed the mark. At that time, he was chased all over the city, and the person was finally arrested.
Over the years, this man has been like an insidious snake, lurking in the city, waiting for opportunities to act. Moreover, he is very skilled, and he is truly a master of both internal and external skills. Over the years, he has been working day and night with hatred in his heart, and he has actually allowed him to be killed.
He has practiced his skills.
Because of his heinous crime, this man was sent to Caishikou to be beheaded in public display.
But something unexpected happened that day. Someone robbed the execution ground. The person who came was a martial arts master. He walked in quietly and took the person away. According to the survivors, the two people's kung fu was exactly the same.
There is a high probability that this person is his master.
This man has so much hatred in his heart that even if he has reached such an end, he still insists on speaking harshly.
He said that sooner or later, everyone in the Zhao family would be killed.
With that expert protecting them, everyone could do nothing but watch them go away after several volleys of cannon fire. The Zhao family had such a serious problem, and they were sweating on their foreheads. If the other party came back, God knows how many people would be injured.
.
They communicated with the local police station at that time and asked them to go all out to arrest these two people, but in the end they failed. These two people were extremely cautious and had strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, so no one was able to catch them.
Later, someone saw these two people at the dock near Quanzhou. It was said that they had crossed the ocean and left the country without knowing their whereabouts.
Until now, no one has heard any news about these people. Even many members of the Zhao family have never heard of such a thing.
Weng Yuanhao only knew about such a secret thing because his ancestors had many records during the Republic of China. Mentioning it was a bit foggy.
All I know is that this mysterious man went to sea...
It was raining heavily outside the car, covering the streets, and the weather was getting colder.
