People who have seen "Deer Ding" must be familiar with the organization of "Heaven and Earth Society". In everyone's impression, this is an organization that "opposes the Qing Dynasty and restores the Ming Dynasty", and the founder is Chen Jinnan, the "chief helmsman", and there is a saying circulating in the rivers and lakes: "If you don't know Chen Jinnan in your life, you will be called a hero and a pillar", and the influence of the Heaven and Earth Society cannot be seen in Chen Jinnan's body. So is there really such an organization as the "Heaven and Earth Society" in history?
The answer is yes, not only will heaven and earth be real, but Chen Jinnan will also be real. When the Heaven and Earth Society was first founded, it was originally a secret group of low-level laborers who were mutually helpful, but because of its strong anti-Manchu color, during the Qianlong period, it even played the slogans of "Shun TianxingDao" and "Contend for Heaven and Conquer the Country", and after Jiaqing, it directly put forward the slogan of "anti-Qing and restoration", so it was suppressed by the Qing court. However, by the time of the Republic of China, the Qing Dynasty had also perished. The banner of "anti-Qing and restoration" raised by the Heaven and Earth Society naturally fell with it, and after that, the Heaven and Earth Society was transformed into a Hongmen.
Why was it renamed Hongmen? Hongmen is actually Hanmen, and the word "soil" is removed from the traditional character "Han" and thus becomes Hongzi. It is also said that it is because of the Ming Taizu era name Hongwu, so the Hong character is used to name it. The Heaven and Earth Society is the Hongmen, and the two Hongmen are the derivatives of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the two are just the difference in name.
Later, Hongmen was changed to Zhigongtang, the name sounds much more formal, but also further improved the system, in the job title set up the dragon head, sitting hall, holding the hall, confidant, patrol to mo full position, but also added "gestures" to determine the identity, Hongmen brothers will be on the gesture as soon as they meet, to determine each other's identity. If it is a brother of Honmon, the original hatred will also be turned into a jade veil.
By the time of the Republic of China, Hongmen had developed abroad and was welcomed by many overseas Chinese, and these overseas Chinese in the Republic of China period were united with each other and had more says just because of the existence of Hongmen.
For example, almost 90 percent of overseas Chinese in San Francisco have joined the Hongmen Zhigong Court, and without Hongmen, the national consciousness of overseas Chinese cannot be so strong.
The purpose of the overseas Hongmen organization since it opened the mountain is to love the country, love the nation, and resist foreign aggression, saying that the Hongmen at that time was a gangster, rather than a patriotic organization, loyal to the liver, righteousness, courage, and heroism for the country and the people. These words are really appropriate to use on Hongmen's body.
Even Dr. Sun Yat-sen joined the Zhi Gong Tang in 1904 and served as the third in command, which caused a great deal of Ying Xi Xiang at that time, and also made the Zhi Gong Tang further develop and grow. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Hongmen Zhigongtang, headed by Situ Meitang, actively prepared funds for the War of Resistance Against Japan and returned to China.
At that time, Situ Meitang had entered the age of ancient rarity, but still rushed to the United States, Canada, Cuba, Peru and other countries to actively publicize the anti-Japanese struggle to save the country, and made indelible contributions to the motherland's anti-Japanese resistance.
Even after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Hongmen Zhigongtang still adhered to its original ideals and beliefs, and the successive Lords of Hongmen Mountain were also the objects of everyone's admiration.
However, in the contemporary era, Hongmen has gradually been stained with gangster colors. This has a lot to do with a newly appointed Zhou Guoxiang, the lord of Longtou Mountain in the Zhigongtang General Hall.
Who is Zhou Guoxiang? Nicknamed "Shrimp Boy", he is cute, but his person is a fierce character. He did not like to read since he was a child, dropped out of school to work as a little outside, and joined the gang at the age of 15.
Parents are a headache about this, because of business problems, parents moved to the United States with Zhou Guoxiang, I thought that in a new environment, Zhou Guoxiang can restrain some, but he is still the same old way, he has heard of the name of Zhi Gong Tang, so he joined Zhi Gong Tang at the age of 16.
Zhou Guoxiang is a fierce character, he has the backer of Zhi Gongtang, and he is even more self-indulgent, extortion, theft, extortion, smuggling as long as he can make money, Zhi Gongtang is willing to follow him more and more people, so Zhou Guoxiang climbed to the position of the second in command of Zhi Gongtang.
In 2006, Liang Yi, the lord of Zhigongtang Longtou Mountain, was killed in his home. As soon as this matter was revealed, the whole of San Francisco was a sensation, but the murderer had not been found, and there was not much movement on the side of the Zhigongtang, and it was not over. Many people suspected that it was Zhou Guoxiang, because after Liang Yi was killed, he smoothly sat in the position of the dragon head.
Zhou Guoxiang's behavior after becoming the dragon head was even more arrogant, and finally the FBI targeted Zhou Guoxiang, and sent an undercover agent to lurk under his hands for 5 years, this undercover collected hundreds of criminal records of Zhou Guoxiang, and finally closed the net early in the morning on March 26, 2014, arrested 29 people including Zhou Guoxiang and imprisoned, after two years of interrogation, the federation listed Zhou Guoxiang's 162 crimes, many of which are serious crimes such as murder, drug trafficking, extortion, etc., but there is a crime at any time, Zhou Guoxiang originally refuted He said he had not sold drugs to China, let alone harmed Chinese.
In the end, Zhou Guoxiang was sentenced to 2900 years in prison, which is equivalent to life imprisonment, without any good opportunity for parole, and the 56-year-old Zhou Guoxiang is destined to spend the rest of his life in prison.
