Rebirth 1912 starts with people on the Titanic

Chapter 28: The True Identity of the Pavilion Master

As early as the late last century, Los Angeles Chinatown gradually formed with the gathering of Dragon Kingdom workers who stayed here.

Later, the rice country introduced the anti-Tang bill, in order to facilitate the management of these dragon workers, they directly drove the Tang people of the rice country to live in the corner of the city, thus gradually forming an area where the Tang people gathered.

And because these Longguo people no longer promise their identity as Qing people, they regard themselves as Tang people.

Over time, the people of the United States called these neighborhoods where Chinans gathered Chinatown.

Actually, it would be more appropriate to say that this is more like an open-air prison than a street.

Because every day, there will be several plainclothes police officers on duty outside Chinatown, just to spy on the Chinapeople here.

Wang's Martial Arts Museum in Los Angeles Chinatown.

Wang Yong selected about 50 people from the neighborhood of Chinatown and wrote down their names.

These people will be the employees and cooks of Bruce Manor.

Those who are chosen are naturally elated, and those who are not selected are a little complaining and have an unfair fate.

This is also something that Wang Yong has nothing to do.

After all, there are hundreds of Tang people gathered in the entire Los Angeles Chinatown.

There's no way Bruce's estate could have recruited so many people to work as odd workers.

It took a long time for Wang Yong to disperse the grumbling neighbors.

After doing these things, Wang Yongcai returned to the martial arts hall again to meet his master, Wang Pavilion Master.

"Master, the people have been sent away. Wang Yong stepped forward to salute the master.

"Well, just send it away. Old Pavilion Master Wang said with satisfaction, "Yong'er, what do you think of this Li Gongzi?"

"Master, is this really a good person?" Wang Yong replied after thinking for a while.

Old Pavilion Master Wang stroked his gray beard and nodded slightly.

"I look at this person, his face is upright, his eyes are clear, his face is rich and majestic, and he is indeed a man who does great things. The pavilion master said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back.

As he spoke, the pavilion master paced, his body straight and his steps vigorous.

There was no trace of the old dragon clock that Blue Shi showed.

It can be seen that when the old hall owner Wang met with Bruce, he would not be honest with each other.

There are many secrets in it that Bruce can't find out now.

"Since the master thinks that Li Gongzi is a decent person, why don't you ......" Wang Yong asked with a suspicious face.

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Wang Pavilion Master.

"Yong'er, the rivers and lakes are dangerous. Do not do anything by appearances. What you and I have done is a big problem, and it must not be easily revealed to outsiders as a last resort, do you understand?" the lord of the royal pavilion admonished in a majestic tone.

"Master, disciple knows. Wang Yong arched his hand and said.

Since being deceived into coming to the United States, suffering and oppression, and being regarded as an outcast of the Celestial Empire by the decaying Qing Dynasty, the Tang people who stayed in the United States no longer recognize their identity as Qing people, but call themselves Tang people.

However, as the saying goes: "It is difficult to leave the homeland, and it is difficult to break the nostalgia!".

How could these suffering Tang people really cut themselves off from their homeland?

Seeing that his eldest disciple seemed to have something to say, the Wang Pavilion Master said directly: "Why are you so hesitant?

Hearing this, Wang Yong hesitated again and again before he stepped forward and said, "Master, the apprentice has something and wants to ask the master to agree." "

The old hall owner Wang was quite surprised.

This loyal eldest brother rarely behaves like this.

He was stunned for a moment before asking, "Tell me, what is it that makes him so embarrassed?"

"Master, the disciple wants to return to China to serve!" Wang Yong said firmly.

"Do you want to return to China?" Wang Laoguan's eyes were complicated, "But I heard that the Qing court was overthrown and a republic was established in China?"

Wang Yong was silent!

It was indeed because he saw the news in the newspaper that he had the idea of returning to China to serve in his heart.

In the view of the loyal Wang Yong, since the corrupt and incompetent Qing court has been overthrown, and the world has returned to the hands of all Han people, then the mother country must be able to change the declining national situation and have a new look.

On the occasion of employing people in their homeland, these overseas travelers should return to China to serve in order to revive China.

The real feeling of the country's poverty and weakness is that they, the overseas Tang people, are the most deeply aware.

Now that the country has hope of rejuvenation, Wang Yong feels that they should naturally return to China as soon as possible and dedicate their strength to the rejuvenation of the country.

Wang Yong can see it clearly.

Only when the country becomes stronger, it is possible for these overseas Tang people to truly gain the respect and dignity they deserve.

Instead of being locked up in an open-air prison like a prisoner by foreigners as it is now.

"Master! Now that the republic was founded, it is the time to employ people, so the disciple ......," Wang Yong said in a deep voice.

Old Pavilion Master Wang did not agree directly, but stroked his beard with blazing eyes and sighed.

As the behind-the-scenes leader of the Tang people in Luoshanji, he knows that people are sophisticated, and the old and refined Wang Pavilion Master will not be able to see Wang Yong's plans.

For the domestic situation, the owner of the Wang Pavilion has always been concerned.

However, the owner of the Wang Pavilion who saw through human nature had diametrically opposite thoughts to Wang Yong.

The owner of the Wang Pavilion sat down with a deep groan, looked at Wang Yong with a dignified gaze and said, "You want to return to China, but have you thought about whether you want to go to the north or the south?"

The master's words made Wang Yong a little confused.

Aren't they all reunited now?

Why does the master still have to ask himself the question of whether to vote for the north or the south?

"I went to vote for Mr. Sun Tanshan. Isn't Mr. Sun already inaugurated as the provisional president?

Hearing this, the owner of the Wang Pavilion only said sarcastically: "Yong'er, do you really think that the situation in China is really as simple as it seems on the surface?"

Saying that, Pavilion Master Wang just sneered and waved his hand: "You think too simply. Although the Dog Emperor abdicated, the trend of secession has been achieved. If there is no division between the north and the south, then why should Yuan Xiangcheng let his subordinates Chen Bing Jiangbei and face the southern soldiers?"

"This ......," Wang Yong was speechless for a while.

At this time, Wang Yong suddenly figured out, it seemed that he had thought too hastily at first.

After being reminded by the owner of the Wang Pavilion, Wang Yong immediately came to his senses.

"What does the master mean that the country will continue to be chaotic?" Wang Yong said with some sadness.

The Wang Pavilion Master shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not necessarily. The expulsion of the Tartars and the restoration of China have become an inevitable trend. Yuan Xiangcheng worked hard and finally forced the dog emperor to retreat, how could he be cheaper than the dog court of the Qing court?"

"Now that the trend of unification has been achieved, the master just said again......" Wang Yong was even more confused.

He was just a kid who grew up in Chinatown, and he had a little strength since he was a child before he was accepted by the owner of the royal pavilion to learn martial arts.

Other than that, Wang Yong hardly went to school for a day.

If you can barely read some words, you have to worship the master of the Wang Pavilion.

For these national events, how Ren Wang Yong has good qualifications, it is not possible to see through them for a while.

The owner of the Wang Pavilion waved his hand with a smile, and seemed extremely patient with Wang Yong.

He smiled: "It is one thing to take the dog emperor to abdicate, but it is another thing to unify the world. The south seems to be vigorous, blooming everywhere, so lively, but it is just a chess piece in Yuan Xiangcheng's hand. Now that the Dog Emperor has abdicated, they are naturally useless. The north has not made any moves yet, but is just waiting for Yuan Xiangcheng to clean up his status and prestige in the north. "

As he spoke, the pavilion master patted the armrest of the chair and said loudly: "Once Yuan Xiangcheng's position is unshakable, it will be the day when the war between the north and the south will resume. However, from my point of view, the people in the south seem to be numerous, but in fact, they are scattered and unbearable. "

Seeing the master say this, Wang Yong was shocked.

He looked shocked and said, "What does the master mean that Mr. Sun will be defeated by Yuan this time?" In this case, we should go home immediately and help Mr. Sun unify the world and realize the republic." "

The owner of the Wang Pavilion disagreed, and sneered: "Sun Tanshan is ambitious and unplanned, and he only knows how to do it blindly. His subordinates are a group of young people who are only immersed in the peak with enthusiasm. Except for some fame, he has no foundation in China, let alone compared with Yuan Mou, who is full of soldiers. "

After that, the master of the Wang Pavilion turned to Wang Yong and asked, "Yong'er, do you know why our Hongmen ended up like this?"

Wang Yong scratched his head, shook his head and was speechless.

If Bruce was here, he would have been stunned by the words of the Pavilion Master.

Hongmen?

It was once one of the two major underground gangs that were famous in China.

It's just that I don't know why, and then it gradually disappeared from the country and became the dominant situation of the Green Gang.

Bruce only occasionally learns from some wild history.

Hongmen was defeated in the process of competing with the Qing Gang, and had to give up his territory in the magic capital, and went to Xiangjiang to reopen the church, which was reborn.

In this process, many Hongmen gangs who have opened their eyes have seen a broader world than China, so they have developed Hongmen's signboards to the world's major Tang people gathering areas.

The Tang people in Mi have a huge population, so they have naturally become the key development objects of Hongmen.

What Bruce didn't expect was that even the Chinatown here in Los Angeles had actually developed into a hall in Hongmen.

And the owner of the old Wang Pavilion is the owner of the Hongmen Branch of the Los Angeles Chinatown.

This is the true identity and confidence of the owner of the royal pavilion.

The owner of the Wang Pavilion did not let Wang Yong answer.

He stood with his hands in his hands, raised his head and sighed softly: "I think back then, we Hongmen also followed Mr. Sun's side. For its great cause, spare no manpower, material and financial resources. But what is the end?".

Speaking of this, the Wang Pavilion Master suddenly sank his face, his eyes full of grief and indignation.

"As a result, when we need it, we are brothers and sisters of Hongmen, and when we get a little bit of success, we become pawns when we are recruited and we go when we are called. The more the pavilion master spoke, the more excited he became, and his wrinkled face was full of anger.

"This ......" Wang Yong was also shocked by the words of the pavilion master, and he didn't know how to express it.

The Wang Pavilion Master continued to laugh at himself: "That's it. So far, not only our Hongmen, but even the Qinggang, which he has always relied on, has become a social tumor that everyone scolds and avoids. Ha ha...... It's really ridiculous and lamentable, and it deserves it. "

The look of the owner of the Wang Pavilion was like madness at the moment, and he had no previous demeanor and wisdom.

Seeing this, Wang Yong hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and after a few words, the master calmed down.

He didn't want to have such an unbearable past in the Hongmen he entered.

It's just that Wang Yong is still puzzled.

"Master, before that, Mr. Sun sent someone to Hongmen to ask for funding, why did the master cooperate so much?" Wang Yong said.

Wang Yong remembered that many times before, there were commissioners who claimed to have been entrusted by Sun Tanshan to come to the United States to seek funding.

His own master did not react as violently as he did today.

The owner of the Wang Pavilion patted Wang Yong's hand and sneered: "That's just to have their own needs and use each other." "

After that, the Wang Pavilion Master finally stopped being so excited, and sat back in his seat and spoke seriously.

"Yong'er, in today's world, where are there any people who are selfless and dedicated to seeking the country. It's just their own thing. The Pavilion Master shook his head.

"Master, then there is really no hope for our Dragon Kingdom?" Wang Yong listened to the more he felt uncomfortable.

The little hope that had just arisen because of the successful overthrow of the rotten imperial court at home was once again extinguished by the words of the lord of the royal pavilion.

At this time, Wang Yong only felt that life had never gone through again, and now it was a more desperate and confusing time.

The owner of the Wang Pavilion did not answer.

In fact, he is also thinking about the future of his homeland, how to get rid of the predicament of being enslaved and humiliated by foreigners.

It's just that after thinking about it again and again, the Wang Pavilion Master can't get any answers.

It's like in the endless abyss, there is no half of light, and you can't find where the exit is.

"Wait, maybe there will be! there will always be......" The Pavilion Master said with a dull expression.

This sentence may be comforting his disciple, or it may also be comforting himself.

The master and apprentice were speechless.

After a long time, the owner of the Wang Pavilion asked Wang Yong: "If you want to go home, I advise you not to be in a hurry, and wait for the domestic situation to stabilize before considering going back." Nowadays, we Tang people are also difficult to protect themselves in the United States. It's too early to think about this, so let's find a way to deal with those foreign devils who are becoming more and more rampant. "

Wang Yong didn't reply, just nodded silently.

Seeing that Wang Yong's mood was a little low, the owner of the Wang Pavilion couldn't bear it, so he had to take the initiative to divert the topic.

"I think that Li Gongzi is a wedge for our Tang people, you should make more friends with him in the future, or you can make a difference. "The Wang Pavilion Master said seriously.

"Master is also so optimistic about Mr. Li?" Wang Yong asked with a heartfelt spirit.

"Where are you optimistic about him, but it has reached the point where it is now, do we Tang people still have a choice? It's just a matter of taking one step at a time. Old Pavilion Master Wang raised his head with his hands and smiled bitterly.
