Chapter 438 Reactions From All Parties (Please Subscribe to Monthly Tickets)
Jia Huan acted quickly, and the Yuezhou branch quickly sent capable personnel across the river.
On the other side of the river, the Wudang peripheral forces, which were already stable business partners of the branch, not only did not make trouble, but also helped openly.
For no other reason, the establishment of the Beggar Gang base did not have a direct conflict of interest with these local snakes.
The circle of Beggar Gang disciples was too low, even the local snakes were not willing to get involved easily, and a group of beggars did not need to be too afraid.
Besides, Jia Huan had made a guarantee before that the Beggar Gang base would mainly collect information, communicate, and have some simple production and livelihood activities.
Just like what Jia Huan did when he led Huarong Xiangtang to rise up.
What kind of dirty and tiring work, as long as it can make money through hard work, the brothers in the Beggar Gang base do not mind, and collecting wild fruits and vegetables in the wild, as well as ordinary medicinal materials, etc., will not affect the core interests of the local snakes.
Even if they have gathered enough disciples, they will be transported to the Yuezhou branch by boat for training, and will not be tossed around on the river side.
Such performance can naturally make the local snakes feel relieved.
However, soon, the snakes felt the benefits of having a Beggar Gang stronghold in the jurisdiction.
The news, that's really well-informed!
The Yuezhou branch has a printing workshop, and the scale is not small at all.
Through movable type printing, some simple information is printed on paper, and then compiled into a book, which will be sent to various strongholds every once in a while.
Although they are all simple things, the area and scope involved are very large.
It covers the entire Xiang Province Jianghu. Any sensational events that have happened in the past period of time will be clearly recorded in the booklet.
For the local snakes, this is an excellent way to understand the Xiang Province Jianghu.
Every time the branch sends a summary booklet, the local snakes will gather at the Beggar Gang stronghold, and the storyteller will read the content in it, and even bring younger brothers to help record some situations that they are paying attention to.
That's right, with the establishment of the Beggars' Gang stronghold, and it quickly gained a foothold, the storytellers and various peddlers who specialized in running around the rural areas followed naturally.
Then, the reputation of the Beggars' Gang Yuezhou Branch and the Chivalrous Beggar Jia Huan rose rapidly in various parts of Hubei Province, like riding a rocket, and became a "familiar" existence in the mouths of many people in the world and ordinary people.
You know, before knowing the name of the Yuezhou Branch and the name of the Chivalrous Beggar, in Hubei Province, except for the Jianghu forces along the river, how could ordinary people have heard of it?
The situation along the river is the same, not to mention the inland hinterland of Hubei Province.
That is, Jia Huan's name as a Chivalrous Beggar is just a little famous in the local Jianghu.
But now, with the establishment of Beggars' Gang strongholds in various parts of Hubei Province, the reputation of the Yuezhou Branch and the Chivalrous Beggar has spread to the hinterland of Hubei Province like a tide.
In the past, it was just superficial, at most a name in the Jianghu!
But now, it took less than three months to really become a well-known existence in Hubei Province.
Jia Huan had expected this!
In the two lakes region of the Ming Dynasty, where productivity was low and transportation was extremely inconvenient, the speed of news dissemination was quite slow.
Not only that, entertainment was also quite scarce.
Otherwise, how could "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Investiture of the Gods" and other legendary myths be so popular among the people and have a long and tenacious vitality?
How could Jia Huan directly organize a group of storytellers to make himself and his branch famous?
As long as there is a wonderful story, who would care about whether the storyteller's content is true or false, or whether there is any private goods in it?
In this process, the name of the chivalrous beggar can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Then, there were people who were wronged, or people in the rivers and lakes who took the initiative to come to the local Beggar Gang stronghold and ask for help from the Beggar Gang brothers in the stronghold.
The news reached Jia Huan's ears at the fastest speed.
Then there is no need to hesitate. After finding out the reason, just do it directly.
Jia Huan personally took action and solved several scums in the martial arts world without hesitation, which even Wudang felt was quite difficult to deal with. Jia Huan's reputation of "chivalrous and righteous" naturally rose to a higher level.
The troubles that he wanted to deal with later, as long as they did not have to be dealt with by him, were basically put on the bounty list of the Bounty Hall and issued as bounty tasks.
In half a year, the Beggars' Gang's strongholds were spread all over Hubei Province.
At the same time, those forces and entities in Hubei Province that were used to being rampant were in big trouble this time.
Anyone who was targeted by the Beggars' Gang's stronghold and really had a bad record would basically be doomed to failure, and the entire Hubei Province would be cleared up.
During this period, Wudang and its peripheral forces remained silent.
For a time, the Beggars' Gang was in the limelight!
Those who didn't know would think that Hubei Province was the home of the Beggars' Gang!
Anyway, all the martial arts forces that got the news felt incredible.
The reaction from Shaolin was extremely flat, as if nothing had happened at all.
However, at the junction of Hubei Province and the Central Plains, the families and martial arts schools formed by the Shaolin lay disciples strictly guarded against the Beggars' Sect from reaching out.
This matter was like a bucket of cold water poured on the high-ranking Beggars' Sect leaders who were originally in high spirits and gradually becoming ambitious.
Jia Huan was entrusted to write directly to the Wudang outer sect elders he often contacted to inquire about the situation.
The other party replied very quickly, just briefly explaining: the forces in the Central Plains are complex and there are many filth and corruption, and the Beggars' Gang will not be allowed to rashly get involved.
Jia Huan understood instantly, especially the four words "harboring filth and corruption", which are quite the essence.
Isn't this just pointing at a monk and scolding a bald donkey?
Among the Jianghu forces in the Central Plains, which one deserves the four words "harboring filth and corruption"?
As long as you know a little about the existence of Shaolin, you will naturally know it very well.
Once the Beggars' Gang strongholds appear in the Central Plains on a large scale, there will definitely be a large-scale cleansing of those garbage Jianghu existences, which will easily affect Shaolin.
No one knows how many Jianghu villains Shaolin often says, "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot", how many Jianghu villains have been taken in?
If the Beggars' Gang encircles and suppresses in the name of "chivalry", even Shaolin can't stand it.
This is the benefit of having a righteous reputation. Even Shaolin, one of the most powerful martial artists in the world, dares not use its reputation to resist.
Since he knew what was going on, he naturally had to talk to his gang leader and deputy gang leader.
"I didn't expect that Shaolin would be like this?"
Gang leader Jie Feng sighed, and was quite surprised in his heart.
"Oh, Shaolin can stand for a thousand years, how could it be so clean?"
Deputy gang leader Zhang Jinbie sneered: "This time, we have found out its details!"
Jia Huan stood aside and smiled in silence!
Although the two gang leaders were quite afraid of Shaolin, they clearly said not to confront it easily.
But can such a thing be avoided by talking?
Anyway, Jia Huan didn't believe it!
However, the Beggars' Gang's strongholds have blossomed in Hubei Province, which is also quite beneficial.
To be honest, the Beggars' Gang has been passed down for hundreds of years, and is very good at transmitting information, and has even formed its own unique system and means.
Between strongholds, between strongholds and local branches, between branches, between branches and headquarters, anyway, if they really need to be connected, no matter how far away, the message can be delivered within a certain period of time.
Such information transmission capabilities seem quite exaggerated to Jia Huan!
Of course, this refers to ordinary information and intelligence, not involving life-threatening military information or official secrets.
Coincidentally, Jia Huan's requirements for many strongholds in Hubei Province are to exchange ordinary information in a timely manner.
Mainly, the prices of various places, the price increase of various materials, and information such as shortages or surpluses of products, communicate with surrounding strongholds in a timely manner.
The Beggars' Gang strongholds in various places also work closely with the Wudang Outer Gate forces, and the most important thing is information sharing.
It can be said that there are business opportunities everywhere in these timely information!
As long as the leaders of the Wudang Outer Gate forces in various places have no problems with their brains, it is really too easy to make money.
As for the Beggars' Gang strongholds, they only earn information fees and will not participate in the real business field for the time being.
Jia Huan's purpose is very simple, to let Wudang Sect and the peripheral forces of Wudang really enjoy the dividends of smooth information exchange, and gradually form an alliance of interests with the Beggars' Sect.
He is not worried at all that Wudang Sect can learn the unique information transmission means of the Beggars' Sect.
The manpower and material resources and technology required during the period are not easy to imitate.
When the Wudang high-level officials understand this, things will be much easier to discuss in the future.
This is indeed the case!
Wudang Sect and many peripheral forces of Wudang have indeed benefited from the convenience of information.
They do not need to waste time and energy in the process of collecting information and confirming the news. They only need to organize enough materials and transportation capacity, and then transport the goods to the right place.
As for the local protection forces in various places, they are not a trouble for the Wudang outer sect forces.
With enough interests as a foundation, they will naturally be tougher when talking to Wudang in the future.
At the same time, through the bundling of interests, the Beggars' Sect strongholds throughout Hubei Province have completely gained a foothold.
If there are blind forces looking for trouble, the local Wudang peripheral forces will not agree!
If the Beggars' Sect and Wudang do not take the initiative to disclose the secrets, outsiders can only see through the fog and cannot see the real situation.
Anyway, the Beggars' Sect's power has rapidly expanded in Hubei Province, causing a shock to the entire martial arts world.
In addition to Shaolin, the Songshan Sect, Luoyang Golden Sword Sect, the Yellow River Gang, the Huashan Sect in Guanzhong, and a group of green forest forces have all been greatly shocked.
"What happened to Wudang? Isn't it inviting a wolf into the house?"
After receiving the news, Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan Sect, was shocked but puzzled.
"Maybe the Beggars' Sect and Wudang have reached some agreement in private?"
Tang Ying'e hesitated and said, "I heard that Wudang is in a state of lack of successors, and the situation of the Beggars' Sect was not very good before. If the two groups unite, even Shaolin can't say that it can suppress them!"
"No matter what, find a way to let the Beggars' Sect and the evil thieves clash!"
Zuo Lengchan sneered, "Doesn't the Beggars' Sect claim to be chivalrous? Let's see if they still have the confidence to fight against the evil sect!"
He was very unhappy. The various methods of the Beggars' Sect had disrupted many of his plans and steps. How could he bear it if he didn't react?
