During the development of the Red Cloud Society, it was closely related to another notorious figure in history. This person was Li Dianying, the commander of the 12th Army of the National Revolutionary Army who robbed the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty.
When Li Dianying was guarding Beijing, he already had the idea of ​​​​excavating the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty. But he could not find the entrance to the tomb. At this time, one of Li Dianying's soldiers gave him an idea - to find the tomb.
Hongyunhui, so Li Dianying found the Hongyunhui, which had only two people at the time.
When Li Dianying told Xu Yun and Zhang Hong the purpose of their visit, the two people readily agreed, and they hit it off. In fact, even if Li Dianying didn't look for them, Xu Yun and Zhang Hong would have already planned to excavate the Qing Dong Tomb.
Thinking, now that the backers came to us, how could they not agree? That’s why the Qing Dong Tomb was stolen on August 5, 1928.
The Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty was stolen, which made the last emperor Puyi angry. After seeing the scene of the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty being stolen, Puyi swore to make the tomb robbers pay a heavy price.
After knowing that the matter was exposed, it was natural that Li Dianying had a large number of troops, but this did harm to Xu Yun and Zhang Hong at the time. So the two discussed it and unanimously decided to go south to Hangzhou. Then they moved from Hangzhou to Xi'an.
From then on, he settled down in Xi'an, rented a small shop in the market and started a small business.
But paper cannot keep fire. Unexpectedly, Kuomintang soldiers found him soon and forced Xu Yun and Zhang Hong to hand over the treasures obtained in the Qing Dong Tomb. In this way, Xu Yun and Zhang Hong suddenly
I have nothing left. So I can only save my life by returning to my old business.
Soon, a tomb robbing storm began in various places in Xi'an, and the initiators of this storm were Xu Yun and Zhang Hong.
By the 1930s, the Red Cloud Society had slowly developed from a tomb robbing organization with only two people to a large organization with nearly 1,000 people.
The 1930s was a turbulent era, and the Japanese invasion of China was the most representative event of this era. During this period, the Hongyun Society experienced several massacres. The beginning of all the events was that the Japanese army wanted the Hongyun Society to help them find China's national treasures. Although
Grave robbing is a matter of digging the graves of ancestors and damaging one's life, but it was done by oneself for oneself, but now they have to help those who killed their own compatriots to dig the graves of other people's ancestors, which is absolutely impossible. So the Japanese army started a
The massacre of the Red Cloud Society.
During this period, there were also traitors from the Red Cloud Society who helped the Japanese army search for treasures, but none of the traitors survived more than three days.
After the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, the Red Cloud Society has also shrunk from a tomb-robbing organization of more than 1,000 people to a small sect with only a few dozen people. During the Japanese invasion of China, not only the members of the Hongyun Society were traitors, but also many civilians
Tomb robbing organizations. With the help of the Japanese army, these private tomb robbing organizations grew rapidly, and their power could already compete with the Red Cloud Society.
Therefore, after the Japanese army announced its unconditional surrender, these private tomb robbing organizations also began to carry out tomb robbing activities with great fanfare, the extent of which was no less than that of the Hongyun Society in its heyday.
In order to take action before others, the Red Cloud Society made a series of plans. The tin gun head engraved with the word "Red Cloud" was also among them, which of course has some meaning.
That is, when a gun head with the word "Red Cloud" engraved on it appears next to the tomb, other tomb robbers must avoid it, because the tomb has been occupied by the Red Cloud Society and no one else is allowed to rob it.
However, this is unfounded, so some grave robbers don't care about the spear heads at all. Instead, when they find these spear heads, they take the spear heads into the tomb together and throw them into the tomb.
Hongyun would see many tomb robbers using this method to treat their own marks, so Xu Yun wanted to
To kill one person as a warning to others, he organized a group of people to come to the entrance of a tomb robber organization and killed all the members of the tomb robber organization who were having a meeting. When other members rushed to the rescue, only the corpses and some bodies were left on the ground.
A spear head engraved with the word "Red Cloud". After this incident, all tomb-robbing organizations will consciously leave that tomb when they see a spear head engraved with the word "Red Cloud" next to the tomb they are about to rob.
Go find other tombs.
Zhang Liqun took another sip of tea and continued: "Now that the shadow man has given you this tin gun tip, it means that this tomb has been occupied by the Red Cloud Society. He just warned us not to approach this tomb again."
.”
After listening to Zhang Liqun's words, Hu Bin immediately quit, stood up and shouted loudly: "What, just with the tip of a spear, I will give them the meat in my mouth. This is absolutely impossible. This Hongyun you are talking about
I also know a little bit about it. They are just a small sect with only one tang leader and forty people, so I will not be afraid of them."
Seeing Hu Bin's excitement, Zhang Liqun smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, I didn't say we must give up to them. The people of the Red Cloud Society have always been ruthless, and they treat their colleagues the same way they treat their enemies.
Likewise, I think most of the tomb-robbing organizations that have disappeared in recent years were their fault. We can hold off on setting off this time and wait and see what happens."
Hu Bin looked at Zhang Liqun and snorted and said, "I don't care about this. I'm going to the tomb tomorrow. If you're afraid of death, don't save me."
After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Zhen, and said, "What do you think, boy?"
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "I have nothing to be afraid of. I'll do whatever you say."
Zhao Zhen said this for his own sake. After all, he didn't know if his father was down there. If he was really down there and he turned down the opportunity to go to the grave, then there would really be no way to see his father again.
.On the other hand, if it is fake, you can just go down and see if there are any national treasures or anything like that.
Seeing that Hu Bin was determined to have his own way, Zhang Liqun immediately stood up and stopped him, saying: "Don't do this on your own. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your subordinates. Now that there is an extra Hongyun Society, if the following happens
If there's anything else, we really won't be able to get out."
Hu Bin glanced at Zhang Liqun coldly and said: "I still say the same thing, if you are afraid of death, don't go."
After saying that, Hu Bin walked out without looking back and called his men to prepare for the work of going to the tomb.
Zhang Liqun and Zhao Zhen were the only two people left in the tent. Seeing Hu Bin disappear at the entrance of the tent, they stamped their feet and cursed loudly: "Why the hell doesn't this kid even listen to a word?
Hongyun Club is not someone you can offend."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, don't be angry. Boss Xu is also young and vigorous. Isn't the tomb robber organization who died under the gun of Hongyun Society about the same age as Boss Xu?"
After hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Zhang Liqun's face immediately darkened and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"It's not interesting, I'm just talking casually."
"Impossible, you'd better speak clearly!" Zhang Liqun was extremely angry at Zhao Zhen's attitude.
"You kid, you'd better speak clearly. If you don't speak clearly, don't blame me for not giving your grandpa face." Zhang Liqun glared at Zhao Zhen and said.
Zhao Zhen laughed and replied: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be too angry. What I said is just my own guess. If I wasn't young and energetic, I don't think I would have been there at that time.
No one dares to get into trouble with Hongyunhui."
Zhang Liqun didn't pay any attention to Zhao Zhen's remarks, but still asked sharply: "Do you know something?"
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "I don't know. That sect was wiped out so early. Besides, I wasn't born yet at that time. How could I know? However, I heard some things about that little sect from my father.
As soon as you mentioned the matter about the sect today, I immediately thought of it. That’s why I said what I just said.”
Zhang Liqun glanced at Zhao Zhen, and when he was about to continue asking, Zhao Zhen immediately stood up and said, "Old man, you don't need to ask anymore. I just said it casually, so you don't need to take it to heart. Okay, now is the time.
It's getting late, I think they have already finished their preparations. I should also go and see if the brother is awake." After saying that, Zhao Zhen bowed to Zhang Liqun and quickly exited the tent.
Zhang Liqun watched him disappear at the door of the tent, and said with a blue face: "I think you know enough, and I can't let you continue. You can't blame others. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for knowing too much."
too much."
Back in his tent, Yelu Qinghui was still unconscious. Li Dongjie, who was guarding him, had fallen asleep. Only Gao Yuhan was watching Yelu Qinghui.
Zhao Zhen gently walked to Gao Yuhan and sat down, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Gao Yuhan, saying: "Smoke one, I know you have quit, but in this case, smoke one
It will be better." Gao Yuhan looked at Zhao Zhen, hesitated for a moment and then took the cigarette from Zhao Zhen.
After taking a few puffs, Gao Yuhan said, "I heard Li Dongjie said you just came back, right?"
Zhao Zhen nodded and replied: "Well, I saw a dark shadow outside and went to chase him."
"Then did you catch him?"
Zhao Zhen took a puff of cigarette and said: "I caught up with him, but he still ran away."
"With your skills, can he escape from his hands?"
Zhao Zhen smiled dryly and said, "He has a gun in his hand. Do you think I can fight him head-on?"
Gao Yuhan took a puff of cigarette and said nothing. He shook his head and lowered his head and said no more.
Zhao Zhen looked back at Yelu Qinghui, who was still lying on the bed, and then turned around and asked Gao Yuhan, "Has Yelu Qinghui always been like this? Didn't he wake up once?"
Gao Yuhan threw away the cigarette in his hand and replied: "He woke up once while you were gone. I have asked Hu Bin's doctor to see it. There is nothing wrong. He will wake up completely before sunrise. Don't worry.
Now that he has taken the antidote, there will be no more sudden changes."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Hu Bin and the others are preparing to go to the tomb, shouldn't we prepare too?"
Gao Yuhan glanced at Zhao Zhen without saying anything, took out a large package from the bed, threw it in front of Zhao Zhen's eyes and said, "I'm ready."
Zhao Zhen looked at his backpack, smiled, and said, "It's pretty fast, isn't it?"
At this moment, several gunshots were suddenly heard from outside. Zhao Zhen and Gao Yuhan stood up from their seats, looked at each other and walked out of the tent.
After walking out of the tent, I found that all the people in the camp were running towards the open space at the back of the camp, and they all had guns in their hands. It seemed like something big was happening to the north.
The north side is now full of light when bullets are fired from the barrel. Although it is still 5 o'clock in the morning, the north side is almost the same as it was at 7 o'clock in the morning.
