Chapter 154 Liu Yongfu and Tiandihui

Liu Yongfu looked down on the Qing army and the false position given by the Qing court, which was good news for Hu Chuyuan.

Hu Chuyuan smiled, but he was not in a hurry to say anything more. He just drank tea quietly.

Liu Yongfu immediately retreated, leaving only him and Hu Chuyuan in the camp.

Then he said, "Your Excellency, in the early years, you could predict that the legal person will invade in a large-scale way, which is similar to that of Liu. However, Liu has been Yueyue all year round, so he can guess one or two times. It's really extraordinary that you can still make such a judgment when you are thousands of miles away! Liu admires the adult very much. Now I just want to ask the adult, in your opinion, what should I do now?

Hu Chuyuan quietly put down the teacup and replied in a low voice, "Don't act rashly, save your strength, and wait for the Xiang army to go south. Today's Guangxi garrison is mainly the Huai army. The Huai army is Li Hongzhang's army. Li Hongzhang only wants to preserve his strength and maintain his political future in the court. Therefore, the Huai army must not dare to fight. The equipment and training of the Huai army are not as good as that of the French army. They dare not fight from top to bottom. Isn't it defeated with one blow?

Liu Yongfu praised: "What the adult said is very true. Liu also thinks so. Suo's surname is to avoid the enemy's edge and hide in this mountain nest. It's just... how long do we have to wait? I'm afraid that the French army will attack in a large-scale way, and the Huai army will retreat in all directions. Only I will stay here alone.

Hu Chuyuan said, "Don't worry, just stabilize the defense. I looked at the terrain carefully all the way. Your nest is well chosen, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Thousands of people are blocked at the gate, and tens of thousands of people can't rush in. As long as the French can't fight here, they can't continue to attack on a large-scale attack, and the situation will certainly not be too bad. After the defeat of the Huai army, the imperial court will more or less send the Hunan army to the south. Even if it does not send the Hunan army, it will choose another good minister to take charge of the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi, and choose local brave soldiers to supervise the training. That's the time of the decisive battle.

Liu Yongfu said, "How long do you think it will take?"

Hu Chuyuan thought for a moment and said, "The defeat of the Huai army is in the past few months, and then it is the rainy season. It is difficult for the French to mobilize artillery on a large scale. By next year, it may be time for us to fight against the male and female.

Liu Yongfu silently weighed it in his heart, and it is estimated that it is almost the same situation.

If the French want to carry out large-scale mobilizations and attacks in Vietnam, it must be in the dry season. The dry season is only from November to April of the following year. After this period, as soon as the rainy season arrives, the rivers in various places soar, and there are no big bridges and roads. The French can't walk at all.

Because Hu Chuyuan was well prepared in advance, Liu Yongfu had already hoarded enough munitions, more than 300 mountain guns, more than 50,000 guns, and 30,000 soldiers and horses, standing guarding the gate in Kumiquan and Heye.

These two places are like a gourd-shaped basin. There are only two mountain canyons to enter the river, and there is only one road to enter the guest's secret spring. There are more than 300,000 mu of vast basin paddy fields and terraces. It is not a problem to stay for ten years.

When the two talked about this, Hu Chuyuan pondered a little and said to Liu Yongfu, "In my opinion, as long as we play the battle with the French, we can win the battle after all. Although the French are strong, after all, they go thousands of miles to fight. It is difficult to supply, but we fight locally. In addition, I have hoarded a large amount of arms in Hong Kong, Nanning and Guangzhou, and the amount of rice, grain and other materials is enough to cope with at least two years, with a total price of about 30 million taels of silver. I bet that I will win this battle.

Liu Yongfu suddenly sighed: "Even if the French lose, it is not to Vietnam and the Qing court, but to you. In fact, not to mention the two departments of the Qing army, only our black flag army can attack the French head-on.

Hu Chuyuan said, "Don't act too much, lest the Qing court realize that you are the real disaster in the future."

Liu Yongfu nodded slightly and cautiously said, "At present, the court is recruiting us to fight for them. In my heart, I still want to eradicate them, but as long as the foundation of Vietnam is not lost, I am not afraid. But if there is no foundation in Vietnam, I'm afraid there will be no way out.

Hu Chuyuan said, "It doesn't matter. It really doesn't work. Didn't we have another foundation in Kuching and Sarawak?"

Liu Yongfu was secretly happy. He knew in his heart that Sarawak was the nest of Hu Chuyuan and Zhang Lingpu, not his, but as long as he had Hu Chuyuan's words, he had nothing to worry about. At least he could have a place to settle down in the future.

Of course, he is also afraid.

Today's Black Flag Army is naturally his. Hu Chuyuan can only be regarded as a funder and a very close cooperative relationship with each other. Once he goes to Sarawak, it's hard to say.

Liu Yongfu is still very clear about Zhang Lingpu, who is located in Sarawak. That is Hu Chuyuan's direct line. The troops stationed there are also Hu Chuyuan's troops. They have a large territory and Hu Chuyuan's support. Now they may be twice as strong as the Black Flag Army.

Hu Chuyuan weighed it again and asked, "General Liu, I'm involved in danger and going deep into your place this time. In fact, I have to do two things. One is to watch the situation nearby and be ready to hit the French at any time. The other is to contact you about something."

"Oh?"

Liu Yongfu said quite cautiously, "It doesn't matter if you say it. You can rest assured. My lord and I are in the same boat of life and death. Everything must be led by you!"

Hu Chuyuan did not hide it and said, "The Qing court is incompetent. If it hadn't been for my hard work over the years, the silk tea industry would have collapsed in the hands of foreigners. I'm trying to serve the country, but they want to kill the donkey, and now they actually want to swallow up my family business. Some time ago, Cixi made harsh words, saying that she would not hesitate to borrow money from foreigners to buy my family business. Fortunately, I secretly guarded myself and used the United States to hold her throat. At present, she is a thief. Sooner or later, she will still do something to me, and she will succeed after all... Poor me. I am determined to repay Lord Zuo Zongtang's kindness. If I want to strengthen the country and enrich the people, I will not hesitate to lose my own interests, kill the original silk industry, and be assassinated several times, but the court has no intention to defend me at all, and I can't wait for me to die early. In my hands, it makes me feel as cold as ice.

"Your excellency...!"

Liu Yongfu wanted to stop talking and said after a moment of meditation, "Your Excellency, why am I like this? Even if I defeat the enemy and repel the French now, can I and my tens of thousands of brothers return home safely? Even if I go back to China, how can I live in peace? How can the court and the Manchu people allow me? Nowadays, we are all guilty of the wall. It's better to...!"

At this point, he dipped his index finger in water in the teacup, wrote the four small words "anti-Qing and Fuming" on the table, and then wiped them off with his sleeves. He asked Hu Chuyuan carefully, "Your Excellency, what do you think?"

Hu Chuyuan quietly raised his eyes.

Although this is not the answer he wants, it is also very close.

He and Liu Yongfu are originally a couple made by heaven, and they are destined to be anniperated when they are born.

He immediately dipped water in the teacup and wrote on the table: expel the tars, restore China, rejuvenate my Han Dynasty, and return my rivers and mountains.

Liu Yongfu looked carefully, and his eyes lit up. At this moment, he was really excited.

He immediately erased the traces of water for Hu Chuyuan and said excitedly, "Your Excellency, we coincide. As the saying goes, the ground is in Gaogang, and the door is facing the sea. I am not talented. The incense master of Xuanshui Hall will inherit the master Zheng. The people of Xuanshui Hall are black, so there is this black flag army.

Hu Chuyuan can also roughly guess that nine out of ten of the anti-Qing righteous men in the Qing Dynasty came from the Heaven and Earth Society.

He said, "So that's it. Zhang Lingpu and I built our own China League, which is intended to 'expel the tartars and restore China'. In the final analysis, we all have the same idea."

Liu Yongfu immediately said, "Your Excellency, I am willing to contact other people. If it is feasible, we may integrate the two major companies into one to seek great things and seek common things in the world."

"It's okay!"

Hu Chuyuan nodded, because he lacked more understanding of heaven and earth, and he didn't say much.

Seeing that his promise was not very straightforward, Liu Yongfu talked about the current situation of the Heaven and Earth Association. It turned out that after Taiwan was captured by the Qing Dynasty, the Heaven and Earth Association lost its base camp. It has been in a very scattered state for nearly a hundred years, and there was no real helmsman.

There will be the first five halls and the last five halls in heaven and earth, with a total of ten lobby entrances, either rise or fall. During these years, the Chihuo Hall was active in Nanyang, the Lotus Hall was left in Taiwan, the Hongshun Hall in Fujian, the Bama Hall in Guangdong, and the Qingmu Hall in Jiangxi and other places.

After the repeated rise and fall of each church, or after the division, the original team set up a separate sub-name and set up branches such as the Small Knife Club, the Double Knife Club, and the Brother Old Association.

In fact, Xuanshuitang has also experienced several ups and downs. At present, only Liu Yongfu is still continuing. In fact, some people have set up another branch in Vietnam to set up a black flag army.

In a word, the situation is still very chaotic.

After listening to Liu Yongfu's words, Hu Chuyuan said, "You can contact us, but let's focus on the China League. After all, the China League Association is newly established. The branches are clear and the tasks are very clear. The so-called China League is the alliance of the Chinese people, seeking the great cause of resurreation of China.

Liu Yongfu said, "It's true. If you don't mind, I'm willing to run another branch, participate in the adult's China League meeting, and work together."

They said that the great cause of the plan was to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, build a new dynasty, and be the master himself!

Hu Chuyuan nodded and agreed.

He thought for a moment and said, "The branch of the China League Association has a community, a company and an army. If the army does not belong separately, it can be regarded as a branch. The rest of the branches can perform their respective duties according to the prior agreement, and the army will only be under the direct control of the China League. If General Liu agrees, our branch is called the Black Flag Army, which corresponds to Zhang Lingpu's Red Flag Army.

Liu Yongfu said, "This is also good, which can avoid the chaos of heaven and earth today. I just don't know how each branch plans its responsibilities?"

Hu Chuyuan weighed it and didn't really want to show all the cards to Liu Yongfu, but... There must be risks in rebellion. You don't trust others, hide it, and others definitely dare not trust you.

So, you have to be too big to do big things. If you don't dare to take risks, don't do big things.

Hu Chuyuan did not say anything and immediately said, "General, to tell you the truth, there are several companies under the name of the China League Association that are responsible for operating industries in various parts of Nanyang, including several companies under my name. The branch is responsible for collecting information in various places. Each member has another cover identity. Now it is mainly Fuqing and Huishe who are engaged in these things. Counting the general's black flag army, the army has two systems, the red flag and the black flag. Among the Fujian sailors I control, there are also some members of the Chinese League. When the time is ripe, we can transform the sailors into the power of the Chinese League.

Liu Yongfu was even more excited when he heard this. Anyway, he had never thought of being an emperor in his life. Now he has a ride to take a boat. Then why not take it? At least he got a founding general and a Duke of Wei, who has inherited it for generations.

Besides, Hu Chuyuan really has to be rebellious. His ride is not ordinary big.

Liu Yongfu became more and more happy. He couldn't help laughing and said, "It's really easy to plan a big business with the foundation and financial resources of adults. From Liu's point of view, the big thing means that it can be achieved!"

Hu Chuyuan said to him carefully, "Don't reveal the wind for the time being. Let's do things slowly, Xu Tu hegemony. If the court doesn't turn against me for a day, it just gives us one more day to prepare.

Liu Yongfu also nodded silently and said cautiously, "Yes, the number of people is exhausted. As long as we don't make mistakes, we can make a conclusion about the world. If we make a mistake, it's really hard to say... Even if we are full of popularity, the world will not return... My lord, aren't we suffering for nothing? Looking at the situation of the world and the situation of his predecessors, Liu also advised adults to learn from Taizu, destroy the enemy in the front, anti-tars in the rear, eliminate Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and then look at the world. This is the smooth way to get the world... I'm afraid there is no other way. If you do the opposite first, you can only marry others!"
