Chapter 250 The gap between the Qing Gang and the Hongmen
The few people at home had more or less learned about these things from Huang Jiafa and Zhang Xiaonao, so they were not surprised.
"Brother Han, I know a Hongmen monk named Sanye, he is from Xianyang, Qin Province.
My brother has come to pay his respects to me, so I will take care of the matter. Besides, the gang you belong to must be an influential presence in the country.
Plus, you are rich, Hongmen will definitely make it easy for you." Zhang Juncai was the first to speak.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang. Here is one thousand US dollars. Please buy me some gifts." Hou Xiaoge took out the red envelope he had prepared long ago from his pocket and pushed it to Zhang Juncai.
"Okay then, I won't be polite with you." Zhang Juncai also knew that old people are experienced and naturally understand the ways of the world.
"Xinsheng, we Chinese come to America to seek wealth. If we make a scene, it will not be good for anyone.
I'm telling you the truth! I'm a peripheral disciple of the Qing Gang. According to the rules of the older generation, I'm now in my third year of visiting my master.
If both the master and the disciple are satisfied and approve this September, I will officially become the 23rd generation disciple of the Qing Gang.
Brother, the traditional Qing Gang's formal disciples are still very old-fashioned. After all, they all come from the Hongmen, and the rules are strict. Only some outer disciples or disciples in the probation period are of varying quality.
In addition, due to the domestic war in recent years, many big brothers and masters of the Tong generation were trapped in the country and lacked supervision over their overseas disciples, which resulted in many disciples not knowing the rules.
So I hope you won't look at the Green Gang with prejudice, after all, our Green Gang has made great contributions to the war of resistance over the years." After Zhang Juncai finished speaking, He Youde stood up and clasped his fists towards Hou Xiaoge.
After He Youde finished speaking, no one reacted for a while. Even the two brothers Huang Jiasheng, who were familiar with He Youde, felt a little embarrassed.
They and He Youde are from the same hometown. They only knew that He Youde ran a restaurant and had certain connections, but they never thought that this guy was actually a disciple of the Green Gang.
At this time, Hou Xiaoge was also a little embarrassed. He wanted to deal with other people's gangs, but he didn't expect to meet a real Qing Gang boss.
It is now the 32nd year of the Republic of China. In an era where there are only a few people of the Da generation, the Tong generation are the real big guys.
Some other existing government officials of the Datong generation may cross the line, but there is no need to be afraid of the underworld boss.
Du Yuesheng, a famous gangster leader in Shanghai, is a typical boss of the Green Gang, but his generation name is just "Wu".
So when He Youde said that he would become a disciple and join the Qing Gang's Wu generation at the end of the year, everyone was shocked.
My father's generation is Tong, and I am of Wu. What's going on?
This generation name is very scary. As long as you return after the Anti-Japanese War is over and reveal your generation name identity, you will be successful in both the black and white worlds.
It is no exaggeration to say that just one word from someone in the southern river area could destroy the Yanhuang Alliance, which had just extended its influence into the south.
"Brother He, I'm so sorry for your disrespect. I didn't expect that you are a disciple of the Wu generation. I hope you won't blame me too much if what I said just now is offensive." Although Hou Xiaoge was not afraid of the Qing Gang, he still respected his friends and stood up to return the greeting with a smile.
According to the generation calculation based on the character "Wu" mentioned by He Youde just now, the Qing Gang has only four generations of old disciples from the late Qing Dynasty to the present, namely the twenty-first to the twenty-fourth generations.
They are Da, Tong, Wu and Jue, four generations in Chinese.
What He Youde said just now was indeed correct. The older generation of Qing Gang was very strict in accepting disciples. There was a saying that a master would visit the disciple for three years, and the disciple would visit the master for three years.
If a master and apprentice want to truly become apprentices, it will take six years to complete the process.
Therefore, there has always been a saying among the people that the Hongmen is a large group, while the Qingbang is a single line.
The Qingbang disciples are masters who lead their apprentices, and apprentices lead their grandchildren, so they are all on the same line and can be traced up and down.
Therefore, the Qing Gang often goes out with a name, and most people don't dare to provoke them. There is nothing they can do because they have people behind them.
This is also the reason why the Qing Gang is doing better than the Hongmen in China. Everyone is a brother, so they are more united.
As for why the Qing Gang could not survive as well as the Hongmen abroad, there is naturally a reason.
The Qing Gang has controlled the country's canals, large and small, for hundreds of years, and disciples of the Qing Gang can be found almost everywhere there are canals.
Therefore, the Green Gang focuses its efforts on domestic development, and most of the people living along the canal are in the south, where they are wealthy and live a good life, so few Green Gang members go abroad.
On the other hand, everyone knows the slogan of the Hongmen, "Anti-Qing and Restore Ming". It would be strange if this slogan could whip them to stay in the country!
Therefore, most of the Hongmen members are hiding outside. Because their purpose is to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, they have always united all people with lofty ideals.
The Hongmen lived up to expectations, and there were a large number of Hongmen leaders in the national government.
After the establishment of the National Government, it was wary of the Hongmen, especially since President Chang himself was funded by the Qing Gang, so he naturally did not show any kindness to the Hongmen. As a result, the Hongmen was weak in the country, while the Qing Gang was strong.
I am white and you are black. Although I was black before, I took off my black clothes and put on white clothes. It would look ugly if I dyed them a little black.
Therefore, Hongmen disciples with official status do not like Hongmen very much. After all, Hongmen is still a gangster force after all.
However, this generation of Hongmen is really stronger than ever before. In addition to the fact that more than half of the veterans of various forces in the country are funded by Hongmen, the famous wheelchair-bound president of the United States also worked for Hongmen for many years when he was young.
There is even a saying that the entire modern history of China is a history of the Hongmen, which shows how great the contribution of the Hongmen is to modern times.
And this is exactly the reason why Hou Xiaoge wants to pay homage to Hongmen Wharf.
Besides the fact that they are truly awesome, it is also a sign of respect for the fact that the Hongmen has been committed to restoring the Han people's country for hundreds of years. After all, both he and the author are fanatical nationalists!
Back to the topic, there is a reason why Hou Xiaoge did not come to the Qing Gang.
The first reason: Because of the threat from the Qing Dynasty, the Hongmen’s base was not in China, but in Southeast Asia and America. They had been working in these two places for hundreds of years and had a great influence on both the black and white worlds.
If the Yanhuang League wants to make its mark overseas, it cannot do without the Hongmen and must rely on the Hongmen's strength.
Looking at the domestic situation, the Hongmen also has great influence in the government, although many government officials do not openly acknowledge their identity as Hongmen disciples.
But privately, many officials are proud of their fellow disciples and have a certain degree of friendship. Take the Qin Army, which cooperates with the Yanhuang League, for example. Most of the Qin Army's senior generals are members of the Hongmen Five Saints Hall.
Therefore, whether at home or abroad, it is certain that Hou Xiaoge will make friends with the Hongmen.
On the other hand, the Qing Gang! Whether in Southeast Asia or America, it is just a low-class underworld force, with almost no white power.
It will not help the Yanhuang League to study abroad, but may even become a stumbling block, so there is no need to be afraid of foreign countries.
Looking at the domestic situation, the Green Gang is getting worse every year!
Because of the invasion of the Japanese, the canal and the coastline were basically occupied by the Japanese, which caused great losses to the Green Gang.
In addition, Hou Xiaoge knew the future history. Even if the Green Gang dared to escape from the Japanese in two years, their fate would not be much better and they would be destroyed sooner or later.
Comparing the two in this way, whether at home or abroad, the Qing Gang and the Hongmen are just a soft persimmon!
If the Yanhuang League wants to study abroad in the future, they will naturally have to build a reputation. So here comes the question! How can they get to the top faster? Naturally, they will step on their predecessors to get to the top.
After all, there is an old Chinese saying that goes, "The waves behind push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach." Isn't this very applicable to the Qing Gang, which mainly relies on the Yangtze River for its livelihood?
