The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 19 Recruiting troops
Mr. Lin was not angry when he heard what Chen Zhengwei said.

His real name is Li Mingsheng. When he was young, he traveled all over the country and met all kinds of people. He even crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood many times.

Now he is no longer at the age of being brave and aggressive.

Cailifoquan was founded by Chen Heng in 1836. From 1839 to 1840, when Lin Zexu banned opium, Chen Heng helped train the volunteer navy.

After Lin Zexu was demoted, he returned to Jingmei with his disciples.

After the Taiping Rebellion broke out in 1856, Chen Heng again assisted Shi Dakai in training soldiers.

It was during that period that Lin Mingsheng learned boxing from Chen Heng. After Shi Dakai was defeated, he fled to Jiangsu Prefecture and took refuge with Prince Shi Li Shixian.

Later, Li Shixian's troops were wiped out in southern Fujian. Some of the remnants fled to Southeast Asia with their families, while others crossed the ocean to South America and settled down there.

It was at that time that Lin Mingsheng went to Southeast Asia, where he made a name for himself with his fists.

In Nanyang, he met another disciple of Chen Heng, Zhang Yan. After studying with Zhang Yan for a period of time, his boxing skills improved and his reputation grew.

At that time, Chinese workers in the United States were often bullied. The president of the Four Districts Association in Chinatown heard of Lin Mingsheng's reputation, and then wrote a letter inviting Lin Mingsheng to come and teach boxing so that the Chinese could learn kung fu to defend themselves and not be bullied.

As a result, just as Lin Mingsheng arrived in Chinatown, the director of the Siyi Guild Hall died of illness. Because of conflicts with people from other places, the Taishan people separated from the Siyi Guild Hall and established the Ningyang Guild Hall.

The Siyi Guild Hall also became the Sanyi Guild Hall.

After these changes, naturally no one cared about organizing Chinese people to learn boxing.

Lin Mingsheng came across the ocean and didn't want to go back just like that, so he simply settled down in Chinatown and opened a medical clinic and a martial arts school. He treated people for injuries such as bruises and fractures, and taught people boxing, hoping to pass on his kung fu.

Although he has accepted some disciples in recent years, few of them focus on kung fu.

However, there are some people who join the gangs before they have even finished learning kung fu.

When he saw Chen Zhengwei fighting on the street before, he realized that he had practiced martial arts before. Then, because of what Chen Zhengwei said, he was somewhat touched and wanted to accept Chen Zhengwei as his disciple.

Therefore, although Chen Zhengwei's attitude was disrespectful, he didn't care too much.

"It seems like you've put in a lot of effort in your moves! What kind of boxing do you practice? Who's your master?" Lin Mingsheng asked calmly.

"I've practiced some free-hand fighting, but I've never had a master." Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"If you want to know whether Cailifoquan can be used, you will find out for yourself if you try it." Lin Mingsheng stood up and walked to the yard.

"Okay!" Chen Zhengwei laughed, took off his coat, pulled out two pistols from his waist and slammed them on the table, which made Mr. Lin's eyes twitch.

Chen Zhengwei took off his vest and shirt and put them aside, revealing a fairly strong body of muscles.

In fact, the overall quality of his body is not as good as the original one, but fortunately he can add attribute points and his strength is slightly greater than before.

Walking into the yard, Chen Zhengwei first stretched his body, then walked in front of Mr. Lin, clasped his hands and threw two straight punches. Although the movements were not as fast as lightning, they were difficult to avoid.

However, Chen Zhengwei only felt someone pressing his arm, and an extremely ferocious fist was in front of him, and then stopped abruptly.

The wind pressure blew on Chen Zhengwei's face, making Chen Zhengwei's eyelids twitch. Mr. Lin looked unremarkable, but he was very ferocious when he attacked.

"Something!" Chen Zhengwei seemed to sense a murderous aura, but he was not sure.

After thinking it over, he was more cautious this time. He circled around Lin Mingsheng half a circle, and then suddenly kicked towards the outside of Lin Mingsheng's thigh.

However, Lin Mingsheng turned his body, and his legs seemed to be rooted to the ground, but he moved away very flexibly. Chen Zhengwei's eyes blurred, and Lin Mingsheng was behind Chen Zhengwei, with his palm pressing on the back of Chen Zhengwei's head.

"What do you think? Do you want to learn it?" Lin Mingsheng took a step back and withdrew his hand.

"There's something! Learn it!" Chen Zhengwei laughed, turned around and habitually stretched out his hand to put his hand on Lin Mingsheng's shoulder.

He just likes to talk with people arm in arm, that's how close they are.

He knew that if Lin Mingsheng really wanted to take action, he would have been lying down by now.

I have practiced Sanda for six years and have rich experience in street fighting, but I couldn't defend myself against him. This Mr. Lin really has something.

But if he could use a gun... Chen Zhengwei thinks he is still more powerful.

No matter how good you are at fighting or how fast you are, it's faster to have a gun? Lin Mingsheng moved his body, dodged Chen Zhengwei's arm, and sat back on the chair. "If you want to learn, tomorrow morning at five o'clock. Remember to change your clothes!"

"Mr. Lin, who would get up at five o'clock?" Chen Zhengwei asked in surprise, Mr. Lin, you are not a serious person.

"Do you want to learn it?" Lin Mingsheng asked indifferently.

“Learn!” Chen Zhengwei gritted his teeth. He had to learn. Anyway, he only needed to learn to LV0 and he could add some points later.

……

After Chen Zhenghu and Yan Qingyou returned, they waited for everyone else to get off work in the evening and then went out for dinner with their clansmen.

Others saw that the two men were wearing black, neat suits, white shirts underneath, bowler hats on their heads, and shiny leather shoes on their feet. This set of clothes must have cost at least five or six dollars.

They were all surprised: "Did you two get rich?"

"Don't touch me. My clothes are new. Don't get them dirty!" Chen Zhenghu quickly shrank back when he saw those hands.

"Stop messing around, I have something good to say to you! Let's go eat first, I'll tell you in detail later." Yan Qingyou said with a smile.

Then, twenty or thirty people filled up a small restaurant and ordered two tables of dishes, half of which were meat dishes. The others couldn't help themselves and cleared out several plates in a flash.

Then he asked, "What good news is that? Qingyou, you just lost your job, and this outfit... did you meet a big boss?"

"Not a big boss, but almost the same! Do you want to make money? Do you dare to do anything?" Yan Qingyou said with a smile.

"Zhenghu and I are following someone to do something, and the other party is also one of us, his surname is Chen."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned and looked at the people from the Chen family.

The people from the Chen family were even more confused than them. There were many people with the surname Chen in Taishan, but since Yan Qingyou said so, it was obviously the Chen from Wencun.

Although Chen has some people here, there is no big boss.

"What's going on? We are all family here, so stop keeping us in suspense!" Others said directly. These twenty-odd people present were from the Chen, Haiyan, Yan and Rong families of Wencun.

Even when we were in China, we were old friends, let alone on the other side of the ocean.

Chen Zhenghu then told the story again, but he did not mention Huang Baoru. He only said that Chen Zhengwei had just got off the boat a few days ago, and that he had been following Chen Zhengwei to do things recently.

"Brother Wei is courageous, has vision, and is generous enough to get things done. Everyone here is my brothers, and I will not harm you. Now it depends on what you think." Yan Qingyou said directly.

Everyone understood after listening to what the two said.

After all, there are many gangs in Chinatown, and they have heard about many things.

Even two people from the Yan family joined the gang.

"You are here to recruit soldiers! I believe you will not harm us, I just want to ask, how much money can you make?" Someone laughed.

After all, the clan was extremely powerful at that time. Before, the Chen, Yan and Rong families had no one taking the lead, and everyone was struggling for a living.

Now that there is someone who can take the lead and there is hope of making money, people are immediately attracted.

Chen Zhenghu took out ten green 5-yuan bills from his pocket and shook them in his hand.

He didn't dare take more. If people knew that he had only received 400 yuan in the past few days, it would be obvious that there was something wrong.

It has only been a few days and 50 yuan has been distributed, which is enough to make everyone excited.

"I believe you. I'll go with you to meet Brother Wei tomorrow!" Someone immediately made the decision.

Others also spoke up, and most of them wanted to meet Chen Zhengwei. Even if some people were hesitant, they still wanted to meet Chen Zhengwei first.

"But I have to make something clear first. It's fine if you want to make money, but you have to be bold and dare to do things. Brother Wei doesn't keep idle people.

If someone really backs off when faced with trouble, not only Brother Wei, but even I will be angry." Yan Qingyou patted the table and reminded him.
