Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 312 The Darkness Before Dawn ([-])

During the period of the Republic of China, Fujian had a rather complex social structure, nominally under the control of the Kuomintang Central Committee, but in areas close to the border of Guangdong, the actual control was in the hands of the Cantonese faction.

In addition to the official controllers in name, Fujian also has a rather hidden and complicated control system—secret societies, which can also be called gangs according to our Chinese tradition.

There are historical reasons for the establishment of gangs in Fujian during the Republic of China and even the Anti-Japanese War. Dating back to the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the first one to appear was the secret gang "Tiandihui" established in Putian, Fujian, with the purpose of "anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty" (this has history). .During the period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, with the Tiandihui as the parent body, many tribes formed in various parts of Fujian. Among them, the "Southern Fujian Xiaodaohui", also known as the "Double Swords Association", is more famous.Before and after the Revolution of [-], Fujian revolutionaries also gathered together to overthrow the feudal rule of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, the more influential ones were "Lianjiang Guangfu Association" and "Fuzhou Public Welfare Society".The secret societies that existed in Fujian during the period of the Republic of China and even the Anti-Japanese War came down in one continuous line, and to a certain extent inherited the nature of the above-mentioned major gangs.Take the famous Daohui during the Anti-Japanese War as an example. It originated in the late Qing Dynasty. It was actually the remnant party of the White Lotus Sect.Another example is the Three Points Club, which was actually established after the Southern Hokkien Small Knife Society uprising failed, and its disciples left Southeast Asia, and returned to Fujian, where they were able to develop in Tong'an, Nan'an, and Jinjiang.

It was the Dongshan branch of the Daohui that was in conflict with the Dongshan County Autonomous Government led by Liu Zheliang.

The development of the Xuebing Army in Dongshan County was quite smooth at the beginning. On the one hand, Liu Zheliang and others were relatively low-key at the beginning, and they were only busy with the construction of docks and industrial bases; It was in the honeymoon period, and under Chen Jitang's instructions, the original officials of Dongshan County did not dare to make things difficult for Liu Zheliang and his party.

However, with the passage of time, the contradiction between the two sides is inevitable.

Speaking of which, Chen Jitang still bears the main responsibility, because although he reached an agreement with Ouyang Yun to hand over Dongshan County to the Xuebing Army, he did not arrange a way out for the original county officials of Dongshan County.And Ouyang Yun's instructions to Liu Zheliang were to stabilize the former Dongshan County government officials first, and then slowly figure it out—this is the main reason why Liu Zheliang and others started to keep a low profile.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the agreement reached between the Xuebing Army and the Cantonese faction was soon known to Huang Youyu, the magistrate of Dongshan County.This person is an old man in the officialdom. Although Liu Zheliang didn't do anything at this time, he still smelled danger from his calmness.At the beginning, he didn't dare to act rashly, he waited for Liu Zheliang to come to his door, and even thought about relying on his contacts in Dongshan for many years to continue to rely on the throne of the county magistrate.It's a pity that Hutong has already figured out his background clearly, so there is no place for him at all in the list of personnel for the new Dongshan County Government drawn up by Liu Zheliang.Therefore, Huang Youyu waited for more than two months, but he still failed to welcome Liu Zheliang as an honored guest. At this time, he heard that soldiers from the Xuebing Army were coming from Hebei in a steady stream, and he couldn't help but panic.

The old fox has rich experience in the officialdom. Although he doesn't pay attention to the soldiers of Tiangao Emperor Yuan, he knows that the Cantonese faction cannot be offended, and he doesn't know what tricks he used. Began to take the initiative.And the power he used was the Dongshan branch of the Great Sword Society.

If the original intention of the establishment of the Tiandihui was to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and the Lianjiang Restoration Society was to fight against feudalism and the Qing Dynasty, at this time, organizations like the Broad Sword Society no longer have any religious dogma.The composition of its personnel is also much more complicated. The participants are no longer those who are dissatisfied with the social reality, but are mixed with many people who are seeking self-interest and unscrupulous means.Take Huang Youyu as an example. He joined the Daohui, and his purpose of joining was to use the Daohui to help him do some things that were difficult to solve on the surface. set of actions.

After Liu Zheliang arrived in Dongshan, he was preoccupied with attracting investment to build a port, building an industrial base, and setting up defenses. After the arrival of the large task force, he stopped managing these trivial matters and began to take a few guards around Dongshan County. , and began to accumulate first-hand humanistic materials for the establishment of the Dongshan County Autonomous Government of the Xuebing Army.

Speaking of which, it was also Ouyang Yun's negligence. When he was in Guangdong, he didn't directly go through the handover procedures.But when he returned to Renqiu and asked Chen Jitang for help through telegrams and letters, it was beyond his reach.

Objectively speaking, Chen Jitang actually had difficulties in this matter, because although Dongshan County was essentially an area controlled by the Cantonese faction, the appointment of officials, especially the main officials, was in the hands of Nanjing.And this Huang Youyu was officially appointed by Nanjing, but this person is very knowledgeable about current affairs, which is why the current situation has come about.This is also the reason why the Cantonese officials did not use administrative orders as an excuse but personal friendship when they led the Xuebing Army task force to station in the Linhai area of ​​Dongshan County to prepare for the construction of an industrial zone.Thinking about it afterwards, Liu Zheliang felt that if he was more politically sensitive, he should have felt it at the time.In that case, perhaps there would be no need to have to quarrel with the former Dongshan County Government.

The day before the big knife will attack, the Hutong team in the task force has already received the news.That night, with Liu Zheliang as the leader, Zhang Kaige, the leader of the Hutong team, Lu Guangrong, the leader of the military team of the special task force, and Jiang Yibing, the leader of the industrial team, got together for a meeting to discuss countermeasures on the Daohui.

Jiang Yibing was originally a workshop director of the Xuebing Arsenal. Because of his good management skills, he was transferred to Dongshan to take charge of the construction of the industrial zone this time.This is what people in industry and commerce are most afraid of encountering.Renqiu's public security is good, and the Renqiu government's measures are effective. There has never been a similar incident. He has no experience at all, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He first asked Zhang Kaige: "What do you think they will do tomorrow? They won't come and smash our factory. Equipment?"

Zhang Kaige didn't have specific information on this, so he couldn't give a definite answer.However, as a professional intelligence person, what he cares about is not these, but the means he can take.He asked Liu Zheliang: "Team leader, if tomorrow's big knife meeting comes hard, should we be gentle or use force to suppress it?"

Liu Zheliang was also troubled by this matter. He said: "The suppression will definitely not work. After these days of visits, I have found out clearly that this big sword has a deep root in Fujian folks. If it causes casualties, it will be destroyed. It will arouse the excitement of the public, and at that time, our safety will be secondary, if the Dongshan construction plan of the Military Seat is destroyed, then..." Before he finished speaking, he shook his head, feeling deeply distressed.

"Group Leader Liu, are you worrying about the Daohui?" Just as everyone was racking their brains and thinking about countermeasures, a slightly funny voice sounded at the door. Liu Zheliang and the others turned their heads and saw A man about 30 years old in a long gown stood at the door.Seeing him, Liu Zheliang was overjoyed, and quickly got up to meet him, and said happily, "Brother Chen, why are you here?"

The one who was replaced by him as Big Brother Chen was Chen Liangyu, the captain of the Dongshan County Security Team, whom Liu Zheliang met during his visits. Although the two had only met twice, they were extremely speculative.

Chen Liangyu smiled and said, "Why, aren't you welcome?"

"No no, please come in quickly. Kaige, Guangrong, and Xiao Jiang, let me introduce you. This is Major Chen Liangyu, the captain of the Dongshan County Security Brigade, and Brother Chen. These three are my colleagues. Please hurry up." sit."

Several people met, and after exchanging pleasantries, Liu Zheliang asked straight to the point: "Brother Chen, from what you said just now, do you also know that the Great Swordsman will come over to target us tomorrow?"

Chen Liangyu nodded: "That's why I came here."

Everyone stopped talking, even held their breath, and looked at him quietly.

Chen Liangyu was not hypocritical, he looked around at everyone, his eyes fell on Liu Zheliang's face, and asked, "Have you heard of the three o'clock meeting?"

Zhang Kaige and Liu Zheliang nodded, while Lu Guangrong and Jiang Yibing looked blank.

"In this matter, it seems that the only thing we can do is to ask the Three Points Society for help. Compared with the Big Sword Society, the Three Points Society is relatively pure now, and the two sides have always been competing in Dongshan. Brother Liu, do you still remember the last time we had tea? Is that the bearded man you met when you were here?"

The first time Liu Zheliang met Chen Liangyu was at an old Confucian named Chen Qiguang.After the two formed a good relationship there, they met in Dongshan County once, and Chen Liangyu invited Liu Zheliang to drink tea. In that teahouse, Chen Liangyu chatted with a bearded man.Liu Zheliang clearly remembered that when the bearded man walked away, his eyes still circled his face twice.He said: "Of course I remember, why, does that person have anything to do with three o'clock?"

"Hehe, he is the vice-chairman of the Three Points Club, who is in charge of our area. You have a great reputation as a student soldier, Brother Liu, you will know it as soon as you arrive in Dongshan. He also told me that the Big Sword Club wants to harm you. of."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Liu Zheliang calmed down instead.After following Ouyang Yun for a long time, he is no longer the little kid who had no heart at all. Now what he is thinking about is, what is the purpose behind the three-point gesture?

Chen Liangyu has rich social experience. Seeing his expression, he immediately guessed his thoughts. He smiled and said, "Brother Liu, what, are you afraid that the lion will open his mouth at three o'clock? Haha, don't worry, I have already asked It should be clear, this time Wang Dabeard is purely trying to give you a favor, and has no other intentions. Of course, if you want to send him some ammunition as a thank-you gift, I think he will be very happy."

Hearing that he clarified the conditions, Liu Zheliang was relieved instead.When dealing with the forces of the rivers and lakes, the most fearful thing is getting entangled.He also laughed, and said: "Brother Chen laughed, it's not that I'm being cautious, it's really a matter of great importance, you know, we came to Dongshan not just to stay for a while, but may stay forever, we don't want to be The people of Dongshan regard it as an enemy bandit!"

Chen Liangyu nodded and said: "It's time for Dongshan to change. Since you are inconvenient to do some things, let's leave it to the three o'clock meeting. Folks to folks, associations to associations, Huang Youyu has nothing to say."

Who instigated the actions of the Big Sword Society? Although Huang Youyu hid it very well, it is impossible for Chen Liangyu and Zhang Kaige to not know.Hearing what he said, Liu Zheliang laughed heartily, looked at him and asked, "Brother Chen, then, why did you help us?"

Chen Liangyu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said, "Maybe I want to change into a formal military uniform, Brother Liu, you won't refuse this?"

Liu Zheliang also laughed loudly, and said, "Although I don't have the power, I can assure you that the door of our Xuebing Army is always open to people like Big Brother!"

Chen Liangyu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lu Guangrong's unique camouflage uniform, and the smile on his face became brighter...
