Volume 2: The crown and the hat are all over the capital, and the spirit is full of energy and enter the foggy city Chapter 104: The Party Becomes a Party (Part 1)
Subtitle of this chapter: The revolution has not yet succeeded, Hongjian still needs to work hard.
"Master Yuan, please take a seat..."
"I don't deserve the title of 'Second Master'. You can just call me Hongjian, the leader."
"Hahaha, then I'll be so arrogant as to call you my brother. Brother Hongjian, please have a seat."
"Thank you for the seat, uncle."
At this time, Yuan Yan followed Situ Meitang to a small reception room on the second floor. In such a private occasion, they naturally could not address each other by their positions in the hall, which seemed very unfamiliar, and they must change to a more intimate name.
"Uncle" is the Shanghai dialect's name for men who are one generation older than oneself. In the Qinghong Gang of Shanghai, "Uncle" refers to one's uncles and uncles. The uncles and uncles who are two generations older than oneself are called "old dad" or "dad".
After they settled the titles, they took their seats as host and guest.
Situ Meitang looked at Master Yuan with a smile and said, "Brother Hongjian, I heard in China that a Hongmen brother like you with both moral integrity and talent emerged in New York. I was extremely happy. I specially wrote a letter to Master Yuyun to ask about Guishan. It's a pity that he didn't know about it. Guishan is really low-key."
Yuan Yanshu really couldn't stand the way the Seres people of this era spoke. What "Yuyun Gong"? Can't you, a big boss, just say Xu Langxi?
Well, if he didn’t have the Master Ball system, he wouldn’t know these two numbers.
And he also knew that the leader of Anliangtang was just trying to find out the truth. Because if Master Yuan really came from the Hongmen in Jiangsu, he should not be unaware of this gentleman.
Yuan Kewen, the beloved second son of President Yuan and a senior leader of the Green Gang, once wrote a book called "Gangs of Old Shanghai", in which he mentioned: "During the first uprising in Shanghai in 1911, both our Green and Hong Gangs made contributions. Li Zhengwu was the leader of the Green Gang, and Xu Langxi was the leader of the Hong Gang."
Xu Langxi was not originally from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, but from Sanyuan, Shaanxi Province. In his early years, he studied under Zhu Foguang, a famous reformer in the late Qing Dynasty and a great scholar in Guanzhong.
By the way, Lao Zhu was also an interesting person. He was not only a juren of the Qing Dynasty but also a die-hard fan of Da Meng. Almost all the revolutionary patriots on both sides of the Wei River were his disciples, including Yu Youren.
This Xu Longtou went to Japan to study in 1905, and naturally hit it off with the revolutionaries there. He joined the Tongmenghui and became the secretary of the Iron Fist. In the same year, he came to Shanghai and contacted local gang forces as a representative of the Tongmenghui. This man was also quite capable, and it wasn't long before he was respected as the owner of "Yuyun Mountain". With this identity, he connected all the Hongmen halls in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
By the way, Xu Langxi also became sworn brothers with Chen Qimei and Chuanlin Beitui.
After the Xinhai Revolution, he served as the director of the Mint of the Nanjing Provisional Government. During this period, he and Liu Haisu and others founded China's first art school in Shanghai - Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts (later renamed Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts). At this point in time, he should have opened an art school and published a newspaper in Shanghai.
Speaking of which, there were many people with complex identities during the Republic of China period, and our Master Yuan is one of them.
The Second Master Shengxian, who also had several identities, did not change his expression. He just thought for a moment and then answered, "Uncle, Baisuishan is our Yuan family's private hall. We rarely interact with brothers in the underworld. In addition, in order not to implicate our family, the brothers Bishan and I are all out in private. It is normal that Xu Dalongtou has never heard of Bishan."
"So that's how it is..." Situ Meitang nodded slightly, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
Yuan Yan suddenly thought to himself, I must put Baishui Mountain into practice when I return to China this time, but I don’t know how Mr. Yuan will react... Well, I think he should be very happy when he knows that he has become the leader of the Yuan Dynasty.
I only heard the leader of Anliang Hall look at Master Yuan with admiration and asked with a smile: "Brother Hongjian, do you know from whom I heard about your deeds when I was in China?"
Our Master Yuan looked at his expression and had a guess in his mind. So he pretended to be flattered and not so surprised and said: "Uncle, could it be that Mr. Sun... that gentleman?!"
Situ Meitang clapped his hands and said, "Brother Hongjian is indeed smart, just like Mr. Sun. He said that you are a rare political talent, and he also asked me to pass on a message to you, asking if you are willing to go to Guangzhou to participate in the revolutionary cause after returning to China?"
Does Tie Quan Wu Di have a good vision? In addition to being good at selecting lolita, he also understands the importance of talent. If I go to Guangzhou to participate in the revolutionary cause, won't Hu, Liao, Wang and Jiang be beaten by me?
Who knows, in a few years I will become the executor of Pao Gong's will, and by then there will be a sentence in the will: the revolution has not yet succeeded, Hongjian still needs to work hard...
"Pika Pika."
Yuan Yan was delighted at first, then sighed, and said leisurely, "Confucius said: One should not travel far away while one's parents are still alive. It is really unfilial to stay abroad for so many years while one's parents are still alive. After returning home, one should take care of his parents. Besides, Grandpa also knows that I have the honor of having an engagement with the daughter of the Wei family in Nanyang, and I will definitely return home to get married next year. I am afraid that I can only appreciate the kindness of Mr. Sun and Dalongtou."
Forget it, Guangzhou is about to become a place where , so it’s better not to go.
Situ Dalongtou showed a little disappointment and said, "It's rare that Brother Hongjian is still a filial son..."
"Alas." He suddenly sighed and said with a regretful tone: "What a pity ..."
Isn't this nonsense? I can't go to the Flower City, but I must go back to the Magic City, and I must also go to the Imperial City. Otherwise, how can I pretend to be cool... well, a master.
But from what the leader said, it seemed that he wanted me to go to Guangzhou. As for the reason...
Master Yuan was too lazy to guess, so he just asked, "Uncle, what advice do you have for me?"
"Well..." Situ Meitang hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "After meeting today, I am sure that Brother Hongjian is a rare talent in our Hongmen, especially as the rumors say. So I hope Brother Hongjian can go to Guangzhou and persuade Mr. Sun to agree to something for our Hongmen..."
What is this matter?
Even if he didn't say anything more, Yuan Yan could guess something. That is, Tiequan Wudi wanted to allow the Hongmen Zhigongtang to return to China to develop and become a role on the political stage of Seris.
I only heard Situ Dalongtou say: "This is not only what I think, but also what Chief Huang thinks..."
