Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Wait for Li Yan to follow Situ and Yunhu

When I came to the Hongmen Hall in the United States

The gongs and drums were loud and the firecrackers were blasting

There are red lanterns hanging on the gate.

The floor is covered with red carpet

There were crowds of people standing around

Li Yan asked, "Is there any happy event at Hongmen today?"

Yun Hu smiled and said, "This was when we came back from Tianhou Temple."

"My uncle sent someone back in advance to arrange the welcoming ceremony."

“The preparation was a bit hasty”

"Only some of the core members of the San Francisco Hongmen have arrived."

"But wait a while, they will arrive one after another."

Li Yan was surprised

First, I didn't expect the Red Gate in the United States to be so powerful now.

Second, I feel that I am not qualified to receive such courtesy.

Looked at old man Situ

He quickly said, "Senior, you are too polite."

"A junior like me is not worthy of this."

Old Man Situ laughed out loud: "Little friend Li Yan..."

"You're welcome!"

"Not only did Xiaolong write to praise your literary and martial arts prowess."

"Even Mr. Li from the 19th Route Army said you are a young hero."

“Hongmen is so lucky to have a friend like you”

“It’s a great honor.”

Li Yan still wants to refuse

Yunhu said: "Brother Li"

“Now that we are here, let us make the best of it.”

"Everyone in the hall is waiting inside to see you."

Speaking of which

Immediately made a gesture: "Please"

Old man Situ grabbed Li Yan's hand

Walk directly into the hall

Li Yan just shook his head and smiled bitterly

Wait for Old Man Situ, Li Yan, and Yunhu to enter the inner hall

More than 20 people stood on both sides of the hall and were whispering.

There are only two elderly people in their fifties

A tall, thin, serious-looking man

The other one is just the opposite, short and fat, always smiling.

Sit there quietly and drink tea

After seeing Li Yan and others come in

The hall suddenly became quiet

The two old men stood up immediately

Leading everyone to bow to Old Man Situ

Old Man Situ laughed out loud: "Old Hong, Old Chen, why are you here too?"

The short and fat old man smiled and said, "Old Hong and I heard that the young man Li from Fujian is here."

"Let's take a look."

"The one behind you is Li kid, right?"

"Sure enough, he is extraordinary"

The thin old man next to him didn't say anything, but looked at Li Yan with sharp eyes.

He said coldly: "Not bad"

The fat old man smiled at Li Yan and said, "Little friend Li Yan..."

"Old Hong has this cold personality."

"Don't mind it"

“I rarely praise others.”

"I actually said two words today"

“It’s already very good.”

Elder Situ said: "My friend..."

"This thin guy, you can just call him Mr. Hong."

"He is the martial arts instructor of Hongmen, and his family's Hongquan martial arts have long been mastered."

"As for the smiling guy, you can just call him Mr. Chen."

"He is the successor of Tan Shou Wu"

Li Yan quickly bowed and called out, "Senior"

Li Yan's family inherited Baguaquan from his previous life, so he is familiar with the affairs of the martial arts world.

Hung Gar was founded by Hung Hei-gun at the age of 93 and has continued to this day.

The Hong family passed down Hung Fist, so he must be a descendant of the Hong family.

As for Tan Shou Wu, some say he was a martial artist in the Tingkun Opera Troupe. By chance, he became a disciple of the Shaolin Temple Master Yichen in Songshan, Henan Province, and learned Wing Chun Kung Fu.

Later, he came to Guangdong due to hardship and settled in the "Qionghua Guild Hall" in Dajiwei, Foshan Town, Nanhai County.

He then passed on Wing Chun to his disciples in the Cantonese opera world

These are all descendants of famous families

As the upper echelons of the Red Gate, Mr. Hong and Mr. Chen knew about Li Yan's affairs.

Now Li Yan is also the head of a division, managing tens of thousands of troops.

Still so humble now

I couldn't help but nodded towards Old Man Situ

Old man Situ smiled knowingly.

Although the Red Gate is a mixed crowd, they all share a patriotic spirit and a strong sense of national justice.

They were also actively seeking ways to save the country and funded many revolutionary groups and revolutionaries.

Although Li Yan has now been recognized by Fujian Red Gate

But this does not mean that the American Red Gate must agree with Li Yan

That's why Mr. Situ made this arrangement.

Also checking Li Yan's character

Decide on the next step in your relationship with Li Yan

Now that Mr. Hong and Mr. Chen nodded, it showed that they had formed a good impression of Li Yan.

Elder Situ said: "Everyone sit down"

"Let's drink tea and talk"

After everyone is seated

Old Man Situ took a sip of tea and asked, "Young friend..."

"You, the Red Army, helped the 19th Route Army to take over its organization."

“Now is the time to put order in Fujian.”

"Why did you come to America?"

Li Yan did not hide it either

Said to Elder Situ: "You also know the current situation in China"

“Ordinary people are living in dire straits”

"The great powers of the world are still sucking blood from China"

"Even the tiny country of Japan occupied Taiwan and the three northeastern provinces."

"They are still constantly provoking China."

"We Chinese people want to resist and stand up"

"But those who bully us will not sit idly by and watch us grow stronger."

"So what should we do?"

“We can only rely on ourselves”

Before Li Yan finished speaking

The taciturn Mr. Hong

At this time, he shouted loudly: "Well said!"

Then he sighed and said: "The people of China have suffered so much."

Mr. Chen also restrained his smile and said angrily: "Not only have we been bullied by the great powers in recent years..."

“We are still fighting among ourselves.”

“The country has long been riddled with problems.”

"I want to kill the thief, but I can't save the situation"

Old Man Situ: "Okay, stop complaining and sighing."

"We Chinese have been weak for a long time"

“Change doesn’t happen overnight.”

"My friend has a deep chest"

"I was interrupted by you before I could finish my words."

"Let's hear what good ideas you have to save China."

Li Yan said: "Senior, thank you for your praise."

"I can't say how to save China."

"But I know why those powers dare to bully us."

"It's because they have advanced technology, strong ships and powerful guns."

"Dare to invade China"

"Our Red Army great man once said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

“But we are too backward and too poor.”

"Take our Red Army for example"

"On average, there's not even one gun for every three of us, and the amount of bullets is even more pitiful."

"Every war is won at the cost of human lives"

"We Chinese people are not afraid of death and dare to fight for our lives against the heavens."

“But we can’t use human lives to stop the robbery.”

“That’s why I had to come to the United States to make money this time.”

“Use the money earned to buy weapons and ammunition”

"Only by defeating those who bully us"

“We can stand up straight”

Everyone was silent

Especially old man Situ nodded in agreement.

Mr. Situ came to the United States when he was eleven or twelve years old and suffered a lot of unfair treatment.

I know that what Li Yan said is right

Power comes from the barrel of a gun

If you want others to respect you, you must have the ability to make others respect you.

Elder Situ then said sincerely: "My friend, the American economy is not doing well now."

"Many ordinary people in the United States can't even get enough to eat."

“How to make money?”

Li Yan fell into deep thought. The fewer people who knew about his plan, the better.

But I'm short of manpower now.

If I can convince Hongmen to help me

That would be great.

Besides, the people of Hongmen are all Chinese people after all.

Li Yan didn't dare to say more later

As long as Mr. Situ is here, he will never betray us.

Li Yan quickly thought through the pros and cons

Looked around

Old man Situ is also a wise old man.

I immediately understood what Li Yan meant.

He said directly: "The rest of you go outside first."

After everyone else is out

The only people left behind the red door in the hall were Situ Hongchen and Yunhu.

Li Yan no longer had any concerns

The cooperation between myself and the Locke family

I briefly talked about the two drinks and my plans.

After hearing this, Yunhu felt his blood boiling.

Shouted loudly: "Awesome!"

"What a big deal"

Situ Hong and Chen also looked at each other.

Such a shocking layout made them look at Li Yan with a higher regard.
