Zhong Yang has always been disdainful of the gang organization of the underworld. He worshipped Guan Laoer, who was established by Jianshu, as the Martial Saint, and he still did the same thing as Yuntian.

But in fact, what are they doing? Opening casinos, opening tobacco shops, opening brothels, issuing usury, collecting protection fees, forcing good people to become prostitutes, trafficking in people, etc. are all their main business sources of income. Zhong Yang has always lacked any favors for such a group of social parasites and scum.

Not all the gangs are bad people, but most of them are not good people. Kidnapping and extorting small and medium-sized businessmen with no background, forcing protection fees from ordinary vendors, teasing women and even forcing good men to become prostitutes are their specialty. Bullying unarmed ordinary people are all the best, but they are afraid of power.

Zhong Yang really finds it difficult to understand that the revolutionary party actually maintains close cooperative relationships with these local gangs. Overseas Chinese gangs are at least fighting to protect the rights and interests of the Chinese, but look at what these domestic gangs are doing? Apart from making some conscientious money and spared no effort to harm the people, Zhong Yang really doesn't see what construction-making things they have done.

No matter how unbearable the revolutionary party is, it has its own highlights. And these so-called Three Mountains and Five Society are all a group of filthy mobs. Zhong Yang is ashamed to be with them, and he also despises these wastes who are of no benefit to the country and the nation. Therefore, Zhong Yang is too lazy to pay attention to it, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is inevitable to give some money as protection fees.

Compared with these gangsters and the garrison of Guangxi warlords who had no foundation, the Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce is actually very well-founded and powerful. Many merchants of this era are not fat sheep at the slaughter of others. Especially in Guangzhou City, which had frequent contact with foreign countries, there are many chambers of commerce that have their own local gang training and private armed forces.

The most powerful one is the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, which was included in the group. The president Duan Yitian and vice president Du Jingnan are both overseas businessmen returning from overseas. The Duan family and the Du family have been based in Guangdong and Nanyang to develop overseas trade since the Qianlong period, with extremely strong foundation and strength. They have a wide range of connections in the local area. They have invested in establishing several local group training and invited many martial arts artists to open martial arts schools under their jurisdiction.

The Guangdong Chamber of Commerce is the number one crocodile in Guangzhou City, controlling the sale of grain and cloth, smuggling arms and various in short supply goods. It also has an unknown number of private armed groups, including guns, cannons and people. Even Mo Rongxin, the leader of the Guangxi warlord, had to give in to the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce three points. On this acre of three points, anyone can offend, but no one dares to provoke it.

It is okay for warlords and gangsters to bully some merchants or hawkers with no background or strength, but large chambers of commerce like the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce that have their own private armed forces generally restrain each other if they are not necessary.

"The Guangdong Chamber of Commerce is very famous throughout Guangdong. As long as you still want to do business in southern China, try not to offend them." Chen Ze said solemnly to Zhong Yang.

"I like business people. There are many production lines that can be promoted to them, and they can also purchase some resources we urgently need through them. How is the other party's reputation?" Zhong Yang has always been happy with problems that can be solved by commercial means.

After visiting many small and medium-sized vendors, Chen Ze is quite familiar with the facts: "The tricks of robbing still happen from time to time, but generally not too much."

Regarding Chen Ze's resentment when he said these words, Zhong Yang smiled: "Haha, what was expected. We can't expect how high moral awareness they will have. It doesn't matter if they suffer a small loss, the most important thing is to establish a stable cooperative relationship with them. After all, it is not a bad thing to strengthen the power of the bourgeoisie."

Liu Jinyang also asked from the side: "Then do we have to find a way to join the Guangdong Sea Chamber of Commerce?"

"It is best not to join other people's chambers of commerce. We are more suitable to have our own system. There is no problem in cooperating with them, but if we join, many of our things will be passive. We have a smart factory, so it is more appropriate to be independent in business operations or try to be autonomous."

Regarding Liu Jinyang's proposal, Zhong Yang first shook his head and then explained it. Zhong Yang thought that participating in political organizations and participating in commercial organizations are completely different. The former has strict management of ideas and concepts, and Zhong Yang is still confident to fool them. However, commercial organizations are very sensitive to the division of commercial interests, and losing dominance in economic interests will be somewhat more detrimental.

After talking about the chamber of commerce, Zhong Yang arranged a new job for Liu Jinyang: "Jinyang, you are responsible for checking Chen Jiongming's affairs."

"Okay, I get it."

"Chen Ze, please contact the person in charge of the Guangdong Sea Chamber of Commerce. I plan to carry out some technical cooperation with the Guangdong Sea Chamber of Commerce. I think the other party should be very interested in purchasing advanced machine production lines."

"Well, maybe we can sell our cigarette production line at a good price." Chen Ze has always been very concerned about selling cigarette production lines, because the development plan formulated by Zhong Yang is now in urgent need of a lot of funds.

"We can also provide various daily necessities production lines, and also the sales of soda ash. I think Duan Yitian and Du Jingnan should also be very interested." Zhong Yang, who has a smart factory, is still very confident in product production.

"Okay, let's come here today. Let's go back to Tangwei Village to talk about the rest." After talking about the more important things, Zhong Yang took Chen Ze and Liu Jinyang to leave. After all, they still have a lot of things to deal with, so they can't sit here and chat for too long.

According to the previous work arrangement, Liu Jinyang was responsible for investigating the news about Chen Jiongming, while Chen Ze was responsible for contacting the people of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce. As for Zhong Yang, his main task was to run the school and understand the overall situation of Guangzhou.

Although he said he didn't have to pay attention to Mo Rongxin, Zhong Yang still had a certain understanding of it in a cautious style. After all, Mo Rongxin, the leader of the warlord, is still one of the top figures in Guangzhou. If he wants to develop here, Zhong Yang had to understand and analyze the other party in detail.

Mo Rongxin belonged to the direct member of the old Guangxi warlord Lu Rongting. He was from Guiping County, Guangxi. He was originally from Dongguan, Guangdong. He was born on October 20, 1853. His ancestors were named Diansheng and his father was named Rangxian. They both took farming as their business and were a real farmer. When Mo Rongxin was a child, he only studied in a private school for one and a half years and dropped out of school due to poverty. After ten years of age, Mo Rongxin sometimes helped people to work as a short-term worker. Later, he made a living by running hawkers on his shoulders and traveled to and from the mountainous areas of Guiping County. Because he was robbed by bandits, he lost all his capital and wanted to go out to join the army and find another way out.18

In 1971, he went to Baise to join his brother Mo Kunfu. He first served as a mate in Mo Kunfu's troops. Within half a year, he was reinforcing sentries. In 1872, he followed Mo Kunfu's troops to attack the Miao uprising army. Mo Kunfu's brutal suppression of the Miao people in Guizhou. Mo Rongxin was deeply affected and was cruel and easy to kill. In 1884, he followed Mo Kunfu's troops to participate in the Sino-French War on the Sino-Vietnam border. Because of his bravery in combat, he was promoted to the right sentry deputy to the Yi Xinying camp in 1885. After the war, he was transferred to the right sentry officer of the Guangxi Border Defense Supervision Office for more than ten consecutive years.

When you see this, you will think that this guy from a peasant will become a hero, and your whole life will be like an inspirational and passionate story. Suppressing civil unrest is a hero in the Sino-French War. But if you look at his later life, you will know that people from a peasant class will definitely be sympathetic to the lower class.

At the end of the 19th century, due to the intensification of class contradictions, the entire Guangxi society was in turmoil and uneasy. The Communist Party and You Yong were connected together, and the momentum became increasingly great. In 1900, Mo Rongxin was ordered to lead his troops to attack You Yong and Hui Party in Baise, and he carried out a riotous suppression and "accumulating merits" and promoted the leader of Zhennanying. In 1901, Mo Rongxin led his troops to attack You Yong and Hui Party in Guishun Prefecture (now Jingxi County), and later promoted the leader of the management. Soon, he stationed in Longzhou Bu Bureau. The Bo Bureau was located on the Sino-Vietnam border.

Mo Rongxin also served as the Bu Bureau's interrogation officer and also handled foreign affairs. In 1903, the fire of the Guangxi Association uprising almost ignited throughout the province. Su Yuanchun, the governor of Guangxi and border defense supervisor, was dismissed by the Qing government, and his remaining positions were taken over by Ding Huai. Ding Huai transferred Mo Rongxin to the Youying, Guizi, and ordered Mo to lead the team to attack the Youyong, the 100,000 mountains. From 1905 to 1910, Mo Rongxin was ordered to lead the team to attack the Youyong of Yulin, Luchuan, Guiping, Zhaoping, Pingle, Donglan and other places.

Wherever he went, he burned and killed him, which was extremely cruel. Chen Zhangshi, the leader of the Green Forest of Guiping, was captured, and Mo personally killed Chen with a horse whip. During the battle, Mo Rong, Xinri, killed twenty-four people in one day in Xinwei, Guiping, and repeatedly ordered the beheaded people to go to Jiangkouwei to show his public. Because of his bloodthirsty nature, Guiping people called him "Mo butcher". In 1907, the Qing government "rewarded on merits" and promoted Mo to the supervisor of the two battalions. Soon, he was promoted to the rank of guerrillas and rewarded with flower feathers.

.In 1909, he was promoted to the gang of the Guangxi Patrol Team and stationed in Wuzhou. In 1910, the people of Dabinwei, Chongzheng Regiment, Cenxi County, launched an armed resistance to protest against local officials' taxes on pig slaughtering. The parties of the nearby counties participated in the event, and the momentum was huge. Mo Rongxin led a team to brutally suppress the villages and houses were burned down many times, and more than a thousand people were killed and injured. The captured people were also brutally killed. In June 1911, Lu Rongting was promoted to the admiral of Guangxi. Mo Rongxin was ordered to lead his troops to guard Qingyuan.

This is Mo Rongxin, who is born in a poor family, but he is still not ruthless when killing the people. Don’t think that those who do bad things have done bad things since childhood. The simple people gain power once they get power, and they will never be corrupt officials. China’s social problems cannot be solved by killing a few corrupt officials. When moral degradation has become a universal value, there will be more bad people than 1 good person.

After the Wuchang Uprising in 1911, Wuzhou, Pingnan, Guilin, Liuzhou, Nanning and other places responded to the **, and the revolutionary situation was in full swing. Mo Rongxin was isolated in Qingyuan. In mid-November, Wang Guansan, a member of the Tongmenghui of Liuzhou, sent people to Qingyuan to persuade Mo to respond. Mo Rongxin was forced by the general trend and declared ** in Qingyuan. Later, the Guangxi Military Government commissioned Mo to be the head of Qingyuan Prefecture. In late November, Lu Rongting served as the governor of Guangxi. At that time, it was said that Wang Heshun, the commander of the Huijun of Guangdong, would unite with Wuzhou and Tengxian civil army to compete with Lu Rongting for Guang.

As the governor of the West, Lu Rongting hurriedly sent commander Long Jinguang to lead his army to Wuzhou to separate the connection between Wang Heshun and Wuzhou and Tengxian civilian army. Mo Rongxin and Lu Rongting both started their own business by suppressing the association party in the late Qing Dynasty. They were in harmony and had a similar stinking. On May 19, 1912, Mo Rongxin was appointed by Lu Rongting to Wuzhou and served as the chief of Wuzhou Prefecture. After Mo Rongxin arrived in Wuzhou, he faithfully implemented Lu Rongting's will, arrested members of the civilian army and the association party, falsely accused them of being "bandits" and killed them. "There were shot every day, and 40 or fifty people were killed in the same day."

He obeyed Lu Rongting and won special appreciation from Lu Rongting. Within half a year, he was appointed as the supervisor of Wuzhou Pass. Within a year, he was promoted to the first commander of Guangxi Central District. In 1913, Sun Yat-sen led the second revolution against Yuan. Lu Rongting and Mo Rongxin supported Yuan Shikai and brutally suppressed the Liuzhou Uprising that responded to the second revolution. In 1914, he served as the commander of the Second Brigade of the First Division of the Guangxi Army and the Yin of the Daoyin of Cangwu. In September 1915, he served as the commander of the second brigade of the 1st Division of the Guangxi Army. Guiping was in charge of military and political power in more than ten counties including Guiping and Wuzhou. In early spring of 1916, he responded to the fight against Yuan and the country. In May, the Guardian Command of Guangdong and Guangxi was established in Zhaoqing. He served as the commander of the Third Division of the Guardian Division and the commander of the Zhaoqing garrison; in October, he served as the commander of the Guanghui Governor; in December, he served as the commander of the Second Mixed Brigade of Guangdong. In November 1917, he served as the governor of Guangdong. In August 1918, after the reorganization of the Guangdong military government, he served as the Minister of the Army.

In June 1919, Mo Rongxin was still the Minister of the Army Department of the Guangdong Military Government. In the entire Guangzhou city, Mo Rongxin was not the richest, but he was definitely the one with the most troops under his command. With such strength, Zhong Yang felt that it was better not to provoke such strength.
