Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 402 Hong Qigong Wants to Take refuge in Yang Xin
"Yes." Hong Qigong gritted his teeth and said.

"Then, is Master Hong joining the Commander in his own name, or in the name of the leader of the Beggar Gang?" Yang Xin looked at Hong Qigong with a half-smile.

Hong Qigong's breathing fluctuated, and his face was also cloudy and uncertain, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. After a long time, Hong Qigong asked in a deep voice: "May I ask how the commander will treat the gang after he rules the world?"

When Yang Xin heard Hong Qigong's question, he became serious and scrutinized Hong Qigong seriously. In his impression, Hong Qigong was a superhuman being, but this was just a superficial appearance. How could a superhuman being be unified? The Beggars' Gang has been around for so many years, and the Beggars' Gang is still an extremely large organization, the largest faction in the world, without scheming, strength, and means, how could it become the leader of the largest gang in the world?
"Do you think this commander can rule the world?" Yang Xin did not answer Hong Qigong's question, but asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Hong Qigong said frankly.Hong Qigong is different from the Jiangnan Seven Monsters, the Quanzhen Seven Sons, and Huang Yaoshi. The Quanzhen Seven Monsters, Quanzhen Seven Sons, and Huang Yaoshi are Yang Xin’s subordinates. , Hong Qigong has time to observe everything under Yang Xin's rule.

Yang Xin was already a feudal town in name and de facto, and Hong Qigong was not blind, and he realized this as soon as he came under Yang Xin's rule.

When Hong Qigong carefully observed Yang Xin's rule, he directly frightened Hong Qigong to the point of trembling.Let’s talk about the sky first, Hong Qigong has his own unique source of information. The disciples of the Beggar Clan are all over the world. Although there are few Beggar Clan disciples in the north, it is still possible to inquire about some unconfidential information. As Yang Xin said, Temujin had already unified the country, and the army was at its peak. The Kingdom of Jin, which previously suppressed the Song Dynasty, might not be able to defeat Mongolia.

At this time of great chaos, the time for Yang Xin to grow has already come. If Mongolia invades the south, the Kingdom of Jin will bear the brunt. At that time, the Kingdom of Jin will have no time to manage Yang Xin's feudal town. It can only let Yang Xin grow. The key is Yang Xin was still carrying the news about the son of Prince Zhao. Only a few people knew Yang Xin's real identity, and Wanyan Honglie did not publicize it, nor did he cut off his son's identity and title.

Besides the favorable location, Yang Xin has completely occupied Shandong East Road, and there are countless salt fields in Dengzhou generation, and there is no terrain that can prevent Yang Xin's army from going west and south. As for defense, Hong Qigong has no I didn't think about it.

The combat power under Yang Xin's command is too strong, each man has a rifle, and the cavalry unit has three horses. Hong Qigong also saw the continuous firing machine gun that Yang Xin was talking about. At that time, Hong Qigong was so frightened that his face turned pale, so Hong Qigong Gong didn't think about defense at all. Thank God if Yang Xin didn't cause trouble for others.

The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the harmony of people.

What frightened Hong Qigong the most was Renhe.The entire Shandong East Road only knows Yang Xin, but does not know the sponsor. The key is that Yang Xin's land equalization system and low tax system have won the hearts and minds of the people. The general organizations created by Yang Xin have blossomed everywhere in Shandong East Road. In addition, Yang Xin has launched The military merit system made the people under the rule full of yearning for war.What's more important is that Yang Xin's generals are made up of graduates from military schools. These people are definitely Yang Xin's die-hard loyalists. They are not only capable in martial arts but also in literature.

It’s okay to say Nengwu, and it’s not too heavy, because with rifles and other hot weapons, no matter how good the martial arts are, one shot can be stacked, but Nengwen is amazing. Not to mention the Kingdom of Jin, it is the Song Dynasty with a prosperous literary style, and the literacy rate It's only three or four out of a thousand, and what scares Hong Qigong even more is the compulsory education system for all that Yang Xin is implementing.

Hong Qigong didn't look so far, Hong Qigong just instinctively thought that Yang Xin was preparing for managing the place in the future.Because Hong Qigong discovered that the knowledge taught in Yang Xin’s universal compulsory education was not about academics at all, but more about practical application. This kind of education is difficult to cultivate traditional literati, but it can cultivate pragmatic officials.

Looking at Yang Xin's actions, Hong Qigong believes that Yang Xin's intentions are in the world, and the key is that Yang Xin still has the power to dominate the world. Although Yang Xin has only a few thousand soldiers under his command, it is easy to expand the number of soldiers It can be expanded to one hundred and eighty thousand, and the weapons are quick to learn. Ordinary soldiers can be familiar with the operation of firearms after two or three months of training.

After judging by various signs, Hong Qigong decided to turn to Yang Xin. After all, Hong Qigong was the leader of a gang, and he had to plan for the 30 beggar gang children if he didn't plan for himself.

The most important thing is that Hong Qigong voted for Yang Xin to save the people of the world from suffering from the war.Hong Qigong already knew about Yang Xin's plot to rule the world. It was impossible to stop Yang Xin. , Yang Xin's army can win Zhao Song Tianxia more easily and simply.

Hong Qigong also wanted to know Yang Xin's arrangements for the Beggar Clan, and Hong Qigong wanted to sell them at a price.

"Let's put it this way, no gang organizations will be allowed to appear under my rule." Yang Xin said directly.

"Why?" Hong Qigong asked unwillingly.

"It's not just as simple as chivalry and martial arts. Dare to ask Gang Leader Hong, do you know why gang organizations appear?" Yang Xin asked.

Hong Qigong choked for breath. Although he is the leader of the beggar gang, he really hasn't considered why the gang appeared and formed such a problem.

"Gangs can be understood as factions that help each other. Why did they appear? Initially, it was just in a turbulent era. The people at the bottom were in dire straits. However, the court and the government simply regarded the people as non-human beings and did not consider the interests and interests of the people at all. To survive, in order to avoid being oppressed and forced to survive, the people formed gangs based on their commonalities, such as the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang."

"Many people are powerful. When so many people gather together, classes inevitably arise, such as gang leaders, deputy gang leaders, elders, etc. These people not only want to keep the gang members alive, If you want to hinder their interests, you need power. Only with power can you manage the gang. Having power is not enough, you also need force. Without force, you can’t live, because without force you can’t deal with external oppression. .”

"When a gang has force, it must have financial power. The more people there are, the stronger the force is, and the stronger the financial power is. Let's not talk about whether the leader of the gang will become corrupt because of absolute power. The fact that the money is unscrupulous, the gang itself is a small feudal town."

"If there is a territory, which gang doesn't have a mountain gate? Even your beggar gang has a main rudder and a sub-helm. They all have garrisons; there are troops, such as thugs in the faction, red flower double sticks, white paper fans, etc., although the words are different. , but the essence is the same; with financial power, how can a gang survive without money? Just like your beggar gang, although it is called a beggar gang, but the leader of your beggar gang is really a beggar? Your beggar gang has It’s not a lot of money, otherwise how can we maintain the basic necessities of so many people, food, drink and lodging, the so-called soldiers and horses go before the food and grass, without money, your gang of beggars would have already dispersed..."

"This is not a feudal town, what is this? The gang is a small court. You, Hong Qigong, are essentially no different from the officials of the Song Dynasty, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and the Mongolian Khan. The only difference is the level of strength. That's all. Shuai does not allow gangs to exist!" Yang Xin said with his eyes fixed on Hong Qigong.

"Hiss~" Hong Qigong's eyes widened. As the leader of the Beggar Clan, Hong Qigong really didn't think about it. In fact, not only Hong Qigong, but also the leader and leader of any gang didn't think about it. I have, but not thinking about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

"Are the commander's words too alarmist? The Great Song Dynasty did not kill all the beggars." Hong Qigong said with some embarrassment.

"Because your beggar gang is still useful! At least it is still useful at this stage. Since the Song Dynasty, whenever Liao and Jin went south to invade the border, your beggar gang went north to fight against the enemy, and it was the kind that didn't spend military expenses. The officials of the Song Dynasty were too late to rejoice. Why? They will kill you all, even if you want to kill them all, you will die on the battlefield. In their view, this is a worthy death, but what if there are no foreign enemies?"

"Master Hong will not understand the principle of exhausting birds, hiding good bows, killing cunning rabbits, and cooking by lackeys. There is the old story of Liangshan in the past, and the stormy pavilion in the future. Even the loyal and illustrious Yue Wumu of the Great Song Dynasty If you can't tolerate it, why does Gang Leader Hong think that you will be tolerated by the Beggar Clan? Zhao Songke is very good at killing donkeys."

"The reason why the Beggar Gang has not been destroyed today is because you are useful, and because you are not strong enough. If you were stronger, Zhao Song Chaotang alone would be able to destroy you without the help of foreign enemies. Chief Hong, you still think that this Shuai is scaremongering?"

"Whether it's alarmist or not is not important. The important thing is that unofficial gangs are absolutely not allowed to exist under my commander's rule. If Gang Leader Hong Xing gang joins, that's fine; The enemy of life and death." Yang Xin said.

Yang Xin thought that he had done everything he could to Hong Qigong, and Hong Qigong's breathing became more rapid. He didn't look like a master at all, but like a farmer.

"The old beggar decided to defect to the commander-in-chief." Hong Qigong took a long time to breathe steadily, and then said slowly.

"Chief Hong, it's not that I look down upon you, it's that I think you can't represent the Beggar Gang. Believe it or not, you just need to return to the main rudder and announce your order to the rudders and hall leaders, and your Beggar Gang will Immediately fall apart, not to mention falling apart, at least it will be divided into two factions, one will follow you, the other will break away from the Beggar Clan and stand on its own, and maybe there will be a middle faction." Yang Xin said.

Hong Qigong's complexion changed drastically again, and Hong Qigong realized that he was thinking about things simply.

"Then why can the Quanzhen Sect easily surrender to the general?" Hong Qigong asked in puzzlement.

"Easy? Which eye of Gang Master Hong sees it easily? When I was still the eldest son, Qiu Chuji and Qiu Zhenren met me when I was still a child, and it took more than ten years of running-in to get together. As for why Quanzhen It’s very simple that all the sects can vote for me, my master and the Quanzhen sect are a community of interests, one prospers and the other loses, and the Quanzhen sect has made indelible contributions to the development of this master.”

"The most important thing is that the Quanzhen Seven Sons headed by Ma Yu have absolute control over the Quanzhen Sect, coupled with the strong support of Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi, Ma Zhenren can be said to be able to make decisions on Quanzhen. All the affairs of the teaching. But what about Gang Leader Hong?"

"Also, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it is spent in one moment. Raising an army consumes the most money. Without the strong support of Quanzhen Sect, I should not say that it is full support, how can I have elite soldiers under my command? Without Quanzhen Sect, how can I have money? Forging weapons? Without the Quanzhen Sect, how could I have become a vassal so easily?" Yang Xin asked rhetorically.

"This..." Hong Qigong was dumbfounded again.

Hong Qigong found out that he really thought too simply. In fact, Hong Qigong made up his mind to join Yang Xin after seeing the development potential and future glory of Quanzhen Sect. The beggar gang was not taken seriously at all.Not only did he not take it seriously, but he treated the enemy the same.

The Quanzhen Sect is the largest sect in the world, and the Beggars Gang is the largest gang in the world. Wen Wu is the first, and martial arts is the second. Hong Qigong is naturally unwilling to let the Quanzhen Sect leave the Beggars behind. Originally, once Wang Chongyang died, There are signs that the Beggar Clan is stronger than the Quanzhen Sect, but with the rise of Yang Xin, the Quanzhen Sect has a tendency to surpass itself. Hong Qigong is indifferent to fame and fortune, but after all, he is the leader of the Beggar Clan and a member of the world. His environment and knowledge made it impossible for him to become a hermit.

The rivers and lakes are not only about fighting and killing, but also about the world's sophistication. Even if you are skilled in martial arts, you can't escape this vicious circle.Except for Yang Xin, not only Yang Xin has three views that Hong Qigong can't understand, but also because Yang Xin is an outsider, and he looks at any issue from the perspective of future generations. This is basically standing on the shoulders of giants. The world is already in an invincible position, the so-called sophistication of the world is bullshit in Yang Xin's eyes, it is better to let the people eat an extra meal and wear new clothes.

"Commander, how can you accept the vote of the beggar gang?" Hong Qigong asked a little discouraged. As for resisting Yang Xin, Hong Qigong didn't dare to think that the martial arts that he and the gang were proud of were better than rifles. It's useless in front of a weapon, and even if you want to hit it, you can't hit enough.

"If Master Hong wants to take refuge in you, please go back to the head of the Beggar Gang to rectify the Beggar Gang. You will be given half a year to rectify it. As for how to rectify it, I believe that with the strength and methods of the Hong Gang, it will be extremely easy. When you are in control, just come and join me in the open, but now, you can work for me in secret, and you don’t need the beggar gang’s children to fight and kill. You just need to help me pass some news secretly, of course, The commander will pay, depending on the importance of the news, and the specifics will be known after a period of time." Yang Xin said.

Hong Qigong's face was still ugly, because Yang Xin gave the money.

The beggar gang is also very good at inquiring about news. In Hong Qigong's cognition, inquiring about Yang Xin's news is what Hong Qigong should have meant, but Yang Xin's payment means that the meaning of inquiring about news has changed. Subordinate relationship, but equal relationship.

"Think about my majestic Beggar Clan, which is very powerful and has disciples all over the world. Wherever I go, I am proud of being a strong old man and deeply connected with the Beggar Clan. How has it changed here, and it is so difficult for an old man to sincerely defect to me?" Hong Qi The public was deeply frustrated, and he was speechless in his heart to ask the sky.
