Laughing proud of the world of martial arts

Chapter 385 Junshan Conference
Chapter 100
Song Guo’s neglect of Po Lasu and Zong Han is to cut Jin Guo’s face, it is to slap Yan Aguda’s face, how can Aguda bear it, if it is not separated from Song by the ocean, and their territories do not border each other, he will probably immediately Lead an army to attack Song State, and show Song State some color.

And Cang Fei was very happy when he learned of the failure of the Song-Jin alliance in the intelligence department.

Although he is not afraid of the alliance between Song and Jin, he is still very happy to not face the two powerful countries at the same time.

At the same time, he also felt contempt for the short-sightedness of the Song Dynasty. He was very clear about the thoughts of the Queen Mother of the Northern Song Dynasty, which was nothing more than fear of Qin's revenge, and hoped that the Jin country would resist Qin alone, so that Song would have time to develop peacefully.

Cang Fei sneered at this, the Song Kingdom has long been entangled, and this cannot be changed by ordinary manpower, and system reforms are needed. Unfortunately, the Queen Mother is getting old and has long lost her ambition to forge ahead.

Then Zhao Xu's ambition is already there, but he is too young and unable to hold power. He was ruled by the Queen Mother. In fact, Cang Fei knows that even if there is no reason for the Queen Mother, it is not easy for Zhao Xu to reform and become stronger. Eighty-nine times it will fail.

When a country is founded, it will establish a system, and whether the country can develop stably depends on how the system is.

Since Emperor Taizong of Song released his military power with a glass of wine, his physique has changed from the five dynasties and ten kingdoms' emphasis on military and despise literature to that of emphasizing literature over military. Although the country is rich, its military power is not strong, so its wealth is ten times that of Liao. The above, but in the military they often fail completely, which is unbearable to watch.

The system created may be effective at first, but after a period of time, it will gradually decay, and the country will gradually decline and must be reformed.

If the reform is successful, it may be possible to achieve ZTE, but if it fails, the consequences will be very serious.

Historically, after the death of the Queen Mother, Zhao Xu carried out reforms, but the result was a failure. The Song Dynasty completely declined. Later, the Jin Dynasty rose and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. Song Gaozong Zhao Gou fled to Lin'an and established the Southern Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was considered to be continued. But the Central Plains fell into the hands of foreign races.

This Zhao Xu may have ambitions, but he is not the real hero. Cang Fei did not regard him as the real enemy, but Wanyan Aguda, he was afraid.

A great ancestor who founded the Kingdom of Jin, this is not a fierce man who can be ignored, so the Kingdom of Jin is the target he most desires to destroy. If he hadn't wanted to get close to Yelu Hongji according to the plot and get the chance to build a country, he would probably have died. Giving priority to killing Wanyan Aguda would give Wanyan Aguda a chance to establish the Kingdom of Jin.

Since Jin sent envoys across the sea to Song, the relationship between Qin and Jin has seriously deteriorated.

Now that Wanyan Aguda has not concealed his hostility towards Daqin, Cang Fei does not have to conceal his intentions either.

Qin Jun and Jin Bing often had conflicts at the border. Although there were no major battles, small fights were unnoticed, which made people feel like a storm was coming.

However, Qin State fought a battle with the remnants of Liao State not long ago, and the consumption was astonishing. It has not recovered yet. Cang Fei is unwilling to launch a large-scale war against Jin State so soon, so as to avoid consuming too much of the country's heritage. It made the common people feel dissatisfied, but it also publicized Jin Guo's aggressive behavior in the country and demonized Jin Guo.

This was a pre-war propaganda measure. In fact, the same is true for Jin. He kept telling about the crimes of Qin, about the cunning and untrustworthiness of the Han people, and tried to make every Jurchen hate the Han people and hate Qin.

It’s just that Jin’s national strength is limited. Now it only occupies the eastern part of Liaodong. Most of the area is in the mountains of Changbai Mountain, which seriously affects the development of Jin. Its strength is not enough to compete with Qin. If you dare to attack easily, you will just develop silently.

In this way, the two countries maintained a semi-war state.

……

Junshan!

Wu Changfeng, the new leader of the Beggar Gang, held his first meeting.

The elder Chuangong, the three elders, and the rudder masters and gang members from various countries all rushed over in large numbers.

In the open space, Wu Changfeng stood in the center, looking at the gang members around him, not half happy in his heart, but rather sad.

There are fewer people!
The number of core members of the Beggars' Gang has decreased. After Ma Dayuan was killed, Qiao Feng left, Bai Shijing committed suicide, Quan Guanqing rebelled, and Elder Xu died of illness, the number of Beggars' Gang members decreased by a quarter. And when he took over the Beggars' Gang, many members of the Beggars' Gang lost confidence in them and left the gang one after another, and the number dropped sharply again.

Now it is one-third less than when he took over the Beggars' Gang. This is the reason why he is not capable enough to support the Beggars' Gang.

The beggar gang is a relatively loose gang, mainly composed of beggars, but not all of them.

There are also many kinds of beggar gang disciples, some are pure beggars, there are also people who know martial arts and voluntarily join the beggar gang.

Of course, the beggar gang is very strict in recruiting disciples. Ordinary beggars are not accepted, they can only be peripheral members. The core members basically know martial arts. They are graded according to the number of bags. One bag of disciples is the lowest, and eight generations of disciples are the highest. There are two elders in teaching and law enforcement, and two gang leaders in charge and deputy.

According to the degree of wealth, they are divided into the Jingyi School and the Dirty Clothes School.

The families of the Clean Clothes Sect are relatively wealthy, but they are famous names in the Beggar Clan and think that the members of the Beggar Clan are heroes, so they join it and want to make a career out of it.

It is also because of the financial support of these people that the beggar gang will do many great things, prevent the invasion of the Song Dynasty by the Liao Kingdom, Xixia and Tubo, and wipe out heretical people in the rivers and lakes, etc.

The dirty clothes faction are mostly from poor families, even real beggars. They usually live by begging. They are usually beggars.

After the decline of the Beggar Gang, both the Dirty Clothes Sect and the Clean Clothes Sect were hit hard.

Among them, the Clean Clothes Sect was hit the hardest. They joined the Beggar Gang originally because they hoped to do some good things for the righteous way, contribute to the righteous way of the martial arts, and at the same time become famous. However, the power of the Beggar Gang was greatly reduced and their reputation was affected. The loss made them disheartened, and they felt that it was not worthwhile to continue to follow the beggar gang, so they left one after another.

Although the Beggar Gang is a gang, the conditions to join are very difficult, but it is very easy to leave the Beggar Gang. After all, the Beggar Gang has many rules, and many people may not be able to abide by it. Just pretending to be a beggar is difficult for many people to accept , so there are quite a few people who leave the beggar gang every year, but at the same time they will also absorb new people to supplement.

But with the current situation, there are very few people who are willing to join the muddy water of the beggar gang, and the number of people is constantly decreasing.

The departure of the Clean Clothes Sect has dried up the beggar gang's source of funds, and the Dirty Clothes Sect can no longer get financial support from it. They can only spend most of their time on begging, and there is less time for practicing martial arts and participating in the affairs of the gang. He even couldn't stand it anymore and left the beggar gang.

Under such blows, the Beggars' Gang went from bad to worse and completely fell into a trough. If it weren't for the elder Chuangong, Wu Changfeng, the other three elders, and other core gang members who still stick to the Beggars' Gang, I am afraid that the Beggars' Gang would really fall apart.

However, Wu Changfeng knew that going on like this was not the way to go. Changes had to be made in order to restore the reputation of the Beggars' Gang, and the confidence of the gang members, and restore the former prestige of the Beggars' Gang.

"Brothers of the Beggars' Gang, I summoned you here today in spite of my busy schedule. I have something important to announce! Everyone knows that our Beggars' Gang has encountered difficulties one after another in the past two years, and the reputation and strength of our Beggars' Gang have been affected. It was a severe blow, thanks to the fact that you brothers are still united, which allowed us to maintain the stability of the beggar gang."

"But you should also know that there are still many brothers in the gang who couldn't bear it and left. Brothers, if you look around, you can know that many friends are no longer there. I apologize for this. I, Wu Changfeng, am incompetent and cannot It is impossible to revive the beggars' gang by satisfying the brothers in the gang." Wu Changfeng bowed to the gang members around him.

The members of the beggar gang were indeed dissatisfied with him. After all, compared to Qiao Feng, Wu Changfeng was too "incompetent", but seeing him like this now, he couldn't get angry, and his heart was full of helplessness.

"Master Wu! You don't need to be like this. Since we are still staying in the Beggar Gang, we regard the Beggar Gang as our own home. We all know your hard work. It is not your problem that the Beggar Gang has become like this. We all have it." Responsibility, you don't have to blame yourself too much." Chuan Gong elder said.

He is the most senior member of the beggar gang. Although his martial arts are not high, as an elder who teaches the skills, most of the disciples have accepted his teachings. Even if he teaches the most basic martial arts, he is still half a person Master.

The members of the beggar gang are full of fear of Bai Shijing, the head of law enforcement, because Bai Shijing has always been ruthless and impartial in enforcing the law.

As for the elder Chuan Gong, they respect them very much. The elder Chuan Gong is not only their half-master, but also has excellent moral conduct, and never participates in open and secret fights in the gang.

Compared with the beggars, the elder Chuangong is like a pure teacher who only cultivates people and does not ask for anything in return.

As soon as the elder Chuan Gong's words came out, the tone was basically set. They couldn't bear to blame Wu Changfeng and everyone, so they all spoke out to comfort them.

Wu Changfeng felt comforted in his heart, and immediately said: "You don't blame me, I am very grateful, but this leader, I can't do it anymore."

As soon as his words came out, the others were stunned.

"Guangzhu Wu, you can't joke about this matter. If you don't serve as the leader, who will do it?" Chen Guyan said.

"That's right. In fact, everyone knows the bottom line. Except for you, it's not suitable for anyone else to be the leader of the gang." Elder Xi said.

The other gang members also persuaded one after another.

The members of the beggar gang thought that Wu Changfeng knew they were dissatisfied with him, so he wanted to resign as the leader of the gang.

At this moment, Elder Song stepped forward.

The others were silent when they saw this.

Elder Song is the head of the four elders. He holds a high position in the beggar gang, and he is dedicated to the public. When he was elected the leader of the gang, he was the No. 1 choice. It was only because he refused, that the position of the leader of the gang fell to Wu Chang. superior.

Elder Song cupped his hands and said to everyone: "Elder Wu discussed this matter with me before, so let me say a few words now. Brothers should be very clear about the situation of our beggar gang, which is declining day by day! This is our incompetence, and I am sorry I deeply regret this, I have joined the Beggars' Gang since I was a child, and I regard him as my home, and seeing the Beggars' Gang like this now makes my heart ache!"

"The reason why Chief Wu wants to resign as chief is not because he is dissatisfied with you, but because he is wholeheartedly thinking about our beggars' society! You should also know that Chief Wu and I have been to Qin before, when Emperor Qin Cangfei was After returning from victory, the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, and the rest of the Khitan people all belonged to the Qin Kingdom."

"Brother Wu and I were thinking at the time that now that the Khitan people have been included in the Qin Kingdom, they have become Cangfei's people together with the Han people in the Qin Kingdom. The struggle between our two clans has come to an end. Our beggars Now we are in a crisis, without a leader who can convince us sincerely, I am afraid that the situation will go from bad to worse, so after we discussed it, we all want to ask Guild Master Qiao to be our Guild Master again, what do you brothers think?"

After listening to Elder Song's words, all the gang members of the Beggar Gang fell silent and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Some people slammed their hearts, and some frowned...

"Guangzhu Qiao is naturally an outstanding person, but he is from Khitan, but we are from Han, this..." Chen Guyan hesitated.

Elder Xi said: "The Liao Kingdom has already been destroyed, the hatred between us and the Khitan people should not continue, it would be detrimental to the two races."

"But he is a barbarian after all, not my race, so his heart must be different!"

"That's not necessarily the case. The leader of the Qiao Gang is the first hero. After he left the Beggar Sect, he lived in seclusion at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. He lived with his adoptive parents and had a good relationship with Shaolin."

"That's right! He didn't recognize his biological father, but with Perseverance and his adoptive parents, it can be seen that his heart is for the Han people. We should give him a chance. This is also a chance for our beggars."

……

Everyone has different opinions.

In the end, the elder Chuan Gong said: "That would be better than a vote. Those who agree to ask Guild Master Qiao to succeed him stand on the left, and those who disagree go to the right. We will act on the side with more people."

Everyone felt that this was appropriate, and they started voting immediately.

When everyone stood still, it was found that more than [-]% of the gang members stood to the left, supporting Qiao Feng to be the gang leader again.

There is no doubt that Qiao Feng is extremely prestigious among the beggar gang, which makes people convinced.

Of course, there is also a reason why the Beggar Gang is in crisis now. The members of the Beggar Gang can no longer bear the decline of the Beggar Gang.

Wu Changfeng and Elder Song looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

The eyes of the other beggar gang disciples were shining with joy, even those who stood on the opposing side. They opposed Qiao Feng as the gang leader, not out of selfishness, but because of different ethnicities, they were worried about Qiao Feng's appointment. It is not good for the Han people, but they all agree with Qiao Feng's ability and know that if Qiao Feng returns, the Beggar Gang will be revived.
