Chapter 56 Nine Last Game of Go

Zuo Zongtang's text message was indeed far better than Mrs. Ouyang's prayers and the diagnosis and treatment of a famous doctor. Zeng Guofan seemed to have recovered, and his spirit was revived again.There are too many things to do: Years ago, Li Hanzhang, the Governor of Huguang, sent Huaiyan to the Chu State to send a letter to revise the charter. The report of the soldiers on strengthening the equipment of foreign ships needs to be approved, and several incidents of military and civilian fights reported by the general soldier of Yuezhou Town need to be dealt with. Every spring and autumn, they will inspect the military appearance and military discipline of the Yangtze River Navy. This matter also needs to be specially reported. Please, there are still many trivial matters that need to be explained.Before he lost sight in his right eye, he wrote all important memorials and approvals, as well as letters to old friends, in his own hand, not using his hands as a staff member.After a while, Li Shuchang, Xue Fucheng, Wu Rulun and others were ordered to come in.Zeng Guofan dictated to them separately, and asked them to prepare a draft and read it to him.

After Li Shuchang and others were ordered to go out, the patrol sent a large stack of New Year greeting letters from various provinces and governments.He looked at the envelope, and after knowing who sent it, he threw it aside. The last one was sent by Yung Wing, who opened it specially for him.The beginning of the letter was actually a long string of titles: "Prince Taibao Wuyingdian First Class Yiyong Hou Military Minister Shangshu Title Liangjiang Governor Nanyang Commerce Minister and Lianghuai Salt Administration General Office Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau Supervisor Master Master Medal".Zeng Guofan laughed unknowingly, and after a little thought, he took up a pen and wrote four doggerel lines next to it: "What is the glory of being an official, the number of words is too many to read clearly, subtract a few lines and rewrite it, and study abroad in the future." Make a Mingjing." Then he added another sentence: "A letter from Chunzhai, asking how the selection of young children studying abroad is progressing."

Because of Zeng Guofan's recovery, the tense atmosphere in Liangjiang Governor's Yamen eased. Zeng Jihong took Ji Rui, Ji Fen and other siblings and nephews happily to Taoyedu to watch the lanterns.Mrs. Ouyang ordered the servants to slaughter chickens and ducks, and her husband did not invite guests to serve wine, so she still had to set up a few tables and invite the wives and wives from several big yamen in Jiangning City to have a lively day.Throughout the year, I don't know how many invitations I have received from others. Although most of them have not responded, but after all, the courtesy of others is there, and I have to take advantage of the New Year to return the gift.After coming to Jiangning for more than ten days, Zeng Guoquan has never been out of the gate, and at this time he also started to go out to visit and socialize.

In Jiangnan in winter, the night comes early. Just after dinner, candles and oil lamps are lit in various rooms of the Liangjiang Governor’s Office. The West Garden, Xiangfei Bamboo Forest and the Yihuang Pavilion, which is unoccupied at night, are all completely darkened. engulfed.At this time, a middle-aged man in a black leather jacket and tight-legged trousers leaped up the tall wall of the Superintendent's Office with vigorous skill. , avoiding the eyes of the guards, walked straight to the governor's study. The door opened with a creak, and Zeng Guofan, who was lying on the soft chair with his eyes closed, did not open his eyes, but asked softly, "Who came in?"

Under the light, the former commander of the Hunan Army on the reclining chair was so old and weak that the middle-aged man couldn't help but gasped, feeling very sad.Seeing that there was no one answering, Zeng Guofan opened his left eye, which was not much out of the corner of his eye.The man in front of him was strong and mighty, not the brothers, nephews, guards and servants who often went in and out of the study room, his dizzy eyes couldn't see who was coming, but he felt familiar. "Master Zeng, you don't know me anymore?" The middle-aged man took a step forward.

It seemed to be Kang Fu, but how could he come to the study alone without any notification?He rubbed his eyes, and even though he hadn't seen each other for seven years, and even though the lights were dim and the figure was hazy, Zeng Guofan still recognized him: "The pricer!" He just shouted, and quickly added, "Is it really you who came?" ?”! "It's me, my lord, it's me, Kang Fu." Kang Fu also became excited. "Vendor, come over and sit next to me, let me take a good look at you." Kang Fu walked over and sat down on the stool next to Zeng Guofan's reclining chair.

Zeng Guofan looked at Kang Fuzai carefully for a long time, squeezed his hand again, and said slowly: "Price, since Yuanfu came to Jiangning, tell me that you live well under Dongliang Mountain, and your son is intelligent. , The art of darts is amazing, I am very happy and relieved. The price, I never expected to see you today, so I am relieved and can go with my eyes closed." As he spoke, tears rolled down his face.Kang Fu looked at the old boss who was really moved, and couldn't say a word for a long time. He just held the dry and less hot hand tightly with both hands. Ten days ago, when Kang Fu came back from Wudang Mountain, his son showed him the note left by Zeng Guoquan, and said that the man also gave him a very warm woolen scarf.After reading the note and touching the scarf, Kang Fu didn't close his eyes the whole night.In the past seven years, although Kang Fu wanted to stay away from the world, he was still a subject of the Qing Dynasty.

He couldn't close his eyes to everything around him. When he went out to visit friends and asked, he couldn't help contacting people and things. Everything he saw and heard made him extremely angry and discouraged.In the second year of Xianfeng, the reason why he took refuge in Zeng Guofan's sect was, on the one hand, out of admiration for Zeng, and he hoped to succeed under Zeng's support, and make the Kang family famous; on the other hand, under the influence of Kang's traditional family tradition , He is also eager to follow Zeng Guofan to do something that is beneficial to the country and the people.Later, when Zeng Guofan founded the Hunan Army and fought with the Taiping Army, he told him many times that after defeating Changmao, he would do something about Yi Yin and Duke Zhou to rejuvenate the country and make the people live and work in peace and contentment.At that time, Kang Fu believed that Zeng Guofan's ambition was sincere and achievable.Later, he witnessed the increasing corruption of the Hunan Army from generals to soldiers, and he began to feel disappointed: Can such a group of people serve the country and the people sincerely?Now, Chang Mao has been suppressed for six or seven years, and the Nian Army has subsided. It stands to reason that the queen mother, the emperor, and the governors of Liangjiang should put the order of the officials and the people's livelihood as the top priority. It should be clean, and the people's life should be better, but this is not the case, and some places are even worse than ten years ago.

"Why does such a dying dynasty have to desperately defend it?" Kang Fu, whose background experience is very different from Zeng Guofan, has often thought about this question over the years.Since Pangu opened the world, dynasties have changed frequently, and historians of all dynasties have not said which dynasty must never be overthrown, and which dynasty must never be established.Kang Fu remembers listening to his father tell the story of Tang Wu's revolution when he was young, and praised Shang Tang and Zhou Wu's revolutionary actions.Tang of Shang could defeat Jie, and Wu of Zhou could defeat Zhou. Why can’t we defeat the benevolent and unrighteous Manchu court today?After Kang Fu thought about this level, he went from respecting his brother's personality to understanding the career he devoted himself to.In Kang’s house at Yuxi Bridge, Kang Fu set up a memorial tablet for the ancestors of all dynasties starting from Kang Shen, and finally set up a wooden tablet for his younger brother Kang Lu.During festivals, he asked his son Kang Zhong to kowtow to the wooden master, and solemnly handed over the three plum-blossom darts transferred by the thin feet to his son.And tell his son, uncle is a great hero, these three darts were given to you by uncle before he died, don't let your uncle live up to his expectations, practice this Kang family stunt well.Kang Fu even decided that when his son was eighteen years old, he would tell his son all these knowledges. He did not want to betray the court and follow his younger brother's path, but his son could completely inherit his uncle's unfinished business.

After following Zeng Guofan for twelve years, Kang Fu gradually gained a deeper understanding of his character.Zeng Guofan is not the idol in his mind before. This person's scheming, deceit and deceit are all very different from his self-proclaimed integrity.If it is said that it is because of the need to do so in a battle of wits and courage, Kang Fu can understand, but after the capture of Jinling, he wanted to kill his uncle and nephew Wei Jun, which Kang Fu could not accept anyway.You're done. Uncle and nephew Wei Jun also fought tough battles with the Hunan Army for four or five years. It would be treachery to refuse a heavy reward. To intimidate others and forcibly abolish the Hunan Army by imposing charges and beheading them. How is his heart different from those treacherous butchers who were scolded by later generations in history?What's more, Wei Jun was persuaded by Kang Fu to surrender.It goes without saying that Wei's uncle and nephew under Nine Springs hated him deeply, even the whole Zhengzi camp would hate him.He also needs to take a bad name for this matter, and be cast aside by all conscientious people.Kang Fuben planned to disassociate himself from Zeng Guofan and the Hunan Army quietly. He never wanted to see Zeng Guofan again.But a note from Zeng Guoquan changed his mind. He wanted to meet with Zeng Guofan before he died. More importantly, he had learned that Kang's ancestral go game was in Zeng's hands. own son.

"Vendor, you have saved my life twice, and I have never repaid your great kindness; you have made many outstanding achievements for the Hunan Army, and you were the first hero to rush into the Puppet Heavenly King's Palace. I will pay you accordingly. All these years, I have been guilty of this. I sent people to Yuanjiang to visit your wife and son, but they could not be found. I am a dying person, and I will see you again tonight , I am satisfied, but I don't know what you need, I will do my best to make up for my mistakes." Zeng Guofan's sincerity made the ex-professor of the military battalion feel embarrassed, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Master Zeng, take care of yourself, don't mention everything in the past, and I don't need anything." "No, my valet." Zeng Guofan seemed to be injected with a sudden burst of anger, and his voice became loud and crisp, "You have lived in Dongliang Mountain for many years and have not come to see me, which shows that you have a estrangement from me. In your heart I can fully understand any dissatisfaction. Since you are still alive, I have the obligation to report to the court and ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor for rewards for you. Li Chendian and Xiao Fusi can both win fifth-class nobles, and you can also receive this honor .” Kang Fu sneered and said: "I don't care for the fifth-class nobles of the imperial court, and my lord can't afford to ask for rewards for me." Kang Fu's indifference made Zeng Guofan frustrated. After a short pause, he said: "If you don't need the imperial court's title reward, I can recommend you to be the commander-in-chief of a town." "I don't have the talent, nor the mood." Kang Fu's attitude was still cold. "Then, I'll give you ten thousand taels of silver notes." "I don't have to worry about food and clothing, what do I need this money for?" "Vendor, this is not the money I gave you." Zeng Guofan's voice became low again, "This is what you deserve, and it is to make up for your arrears." "Master Zeng, please don't get me wrong. I am here tonight, absolutely not to ask for anything from you, sir. To be honest, even if you give me a Jinling City right now, I don't even want it." There was a bit of anger in Kang Fu's words, but also full of a bit of vigor, which made Zeng Guofan nod: "I know, I just wanted to show my heart. Since you don't want officials, honors, and benefits, I will give you money later." I will give you a personal thing and leave it for you as a souvenir, so I think you won't disregard my face too much." Zeng Guofan didn't like rare treasures all his life.When I was in Hanlin, I only occasionally went to Liulichang to buy some calligraphy and paintings of former sages.Antiques are his favorite, but they are too expensive to afford.Later, when he became a military commander, he gave up even this little interest in order to prevent other people from doing things.Therefore, except for the gift from the emperor, he has almost none of them that are rare.Four months ago, an old friend from the capital brought a gift.At the beginning of last year, Zhou Shouchang was the first to contact a group of Beijing officials from Hunan. To congratulate Zeng Guofan on his 61st birthday, he spent a lot of money to buy a 20-jin Kungang jade from Wangfujing Jewelry Store, and hired one to be a cutler in the palace. A fifty-year-old master craftsman came to appraise the jade, and he cut a utensil according to the appearance of the jade.The old craftsman carefully identified this piece of jade for three days, and it proved to be a real piece of Lantian jade, which is called Kungang jade in ancient books.The biggest feature of this piece of Kungang jade is that there is a slap-sized piece of carmine in the middle.The old craftsman was determined to use it properly, pondered over and over again, and finally decided to carve an old Antarctic birthday star, and the piece of carmine was carved into the birthday peach held in the hand of the birthday star.Three months later, an old birthday star with both form and spirit appeared vividly in front of everyone, especially the bright red flat peach in his hand, which was perfectly arranged and won unanimous applause from all the audience. Two silver coins bought this jade carving.The old craftsman declined with a smile.When Yushouxing was sent to Liangjiang Governor's Yamen, Zeng Guofan laughed happily and accepted it happily.This is also the only important gift he has received from others in his life.Now, he made up his mind to pass this gift on to Kang Fu. At this time, a yamen servant came in, and Zeng Guofan ordered him to cook some delicate dishes and bring a jug of good wine. "Master Zeng, you don't need to give me anything as a souvenir. I just want to take back my own things. Give me back that pair of Go pieces!" Zeng Guofan stared at Kang Fu blankly for a long time before saying sadly: "That set of Go is a family heirloom of your Kang family. I got it from Wei Jun, and the purpose is not to let this treasure be lost for a long time. In the hands of the thieves, I will return it to your Kang family when I visit your son in the future. Now that you have come by yourself, it will be given to you in person." After finishing speaking, Zeng Guofan stood up tremblingly, walked to the cabinet, and took out a black hara bag.Opening the bag, the red sandalwood incense wood Yunlong box that had been parted for many years appeared in front of my eyes.Kang Fu's heart skipped a beat.Zeng Guofan held up the box with both hands, and said solemnly: "Vendor, this box of Go has finally returned to your hands, and I have fulfilled a wish." Kang Fu took the box of chess pieces, all the ups and downs rushed into his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Zeng Guofan sat down on the reclining chair again, and said with a desolate heart: "Since I heard Li Chendian say that you were killed in battle, I have rarely played Go in these years. Occasionally I played a game or two, and I never used your game. Whenever I play chess , I think of you in my mind, especially the few games of chess on Dongting Lake that year, the deepest memory, as if it happened yesterday. Go should be returned to you, but once I return it to you today, I feel like I have lost something Yes. Valet, I’m afraid that you will personally come to the Superintendent’s Office to claim back the chess pieces tonight. In fact, you will break the friendship between us for more than ten years. Valet, do you think so?” The decayed old man in front of him actually fully complied with the old saying that "a man who is about to die has a good word". How could he have such a mother-in-law!Where is the prestige of the former commander of the Hunan Army who killed Jin Songling, participated in Chen Qimai, impeached Li Yuandu, and fought against He Guiqing?Kang Fu thought about it, and felt a sense of pity: this old man is really afraid that his death is not far away.He originally wanted to argue with Zeng Guofan about Wei Jun, but after hearing what he said, he dismissed the idea and said insincerely: "Master Zeng, where are you talking about? I will never forget the love you have for me all my life." Can't forget." "Okay, I am so comforted that you can do this!" Zeng Guofan was actually very moved.It just so happened that the yamen servant brought in the food and drink, and he hurriedly said, "Vendor, you must be hungry, eat quickly, how about I have another game with you after the meal?" Kang Fu's heart suddenly became heavy.He didn't care if he drank a catty or two of spirits during the day, but tonight he would feel dizzy after drinking a glass of wine.He put down his wine glass, took a few mouthfuls of food, and then pushed the cup and plate aside. "Are you full?" Zeng Guofan asked, in the tone of an ordinary old man. Kang Fu nodded.The yamen servant came in to clean up the dishes, and Zeng Guofan ordered to light two kerosene lamps.This is a gift Stevenson brought to Zeng Guofan when he returned home to visit relatives last year. In order to save kerosene, he usually doesn't use it.After the kerosene lamp was lit, the governor's study room became much brighter. Kang Fu glanced at it: there was an extra-large desk by the window, on one end of which were piled two stacks of documents more than a foot high, and on the other were several books. The ancient lotus leaf inkstone given by Tang Peng was placed in the middle; on the right wall stood several tall wooden cabinets, painted with dark red paint, with a three-inch long copper lock on the door; wooden box.Kang Fu recognized that these simple boxes were still made in Qimen. Zeng Guofan just took office as governor of Liangjiang, and the number of documents and newspapers increased a lot. Bao Renjie, magistrate of Qimen County, sent ten brand new cabinets of catalpa wood to please the governor.Kang Fu saw that it was something he needed, so he accepted it without asking Zeng Guofan.Zeng Guofan found out the next day and ordered him to go back, and asked him to supervise the production of twelve large wooden boxes.Zeng Guofan said: "The camphor wood in Qimen Mountain is good and cheap. Using camphor wood as a box is the best for holding books and newspapers, and it does not breed insects. During the war, they often migrate. Compared with cabinets, boxes are easier to move." I personally drew a shape and determined the size.Kang Fu was ordered to supervise the construction of twelve large wooden boxes.There was no paint at that time, and these wooden boxes have not been painted so far. They are dark and look very shabby and rough.There is a simple wooden bed on the left wall, and the blue printed quilt on the bed is still sewn by Chen Chunyan.Apart from a reclining chair, a tea table, and a few wooden stools, there were no other furnishings or decorations in the large study room.Kang Fu is all too familiar with all this.The simplicity of Liangjiang Governor's study is extremely inconsistent with the luxury of the Governor's yamen, but it is completely consistent with the Governor's entire life.Kang Fu sighed deeply in his heart. The dissatisfaction with Zeng Guofan himself that he had bred over the years was washed away by these familiar old things in front of him. "Vendor, take out the chess pieces!" Kang Fu saw that a chessboard had been set up on the coffee table, so he opened the lid of the Yunlong box and placed the chess pieces on both sides. "According to the usual practice, I hold black, and you hold white." Zeng Guofan said, with a very shallow smile on his face, at the same time he raised a sunspot, paused in the air for a long time, and then slowly pressed it down.Kang Fu could see that the hand was trembling slightly.For more than ten years, Kang Fu and Zeng Guofan have played countless games of chess.Under Kang Fu's guidance, although Zeng Guofan's chess skills have improved, he has never jumped out of the pattern he has formed over the past few decades.His chess plays are level, and there are few unexpected moves, but he is very calm, never careless, no matter what kind of disadvantage he is in, he is not in a hurry, calmly dealt with it, Kang Fu's few defeats , and it happened that almost all of them were defeated at this time.What impressed Kang Fu the most was that Zeng Guofan's chess skills were very good, he never regretted his moves, and he never lost his temper after losing.Sometimes while playing chess, while talking about the past and the present, Kang Fu learned a lot from it.He remembered that Zeng Guofan had told him the allusion of Go gambling in villas twice in front of the chessboard, so he knew that Xie An was a figure whom the commander of the Hunan Army admired very much. The black and white chess pieces landed on the chessboard one by one, and the past also surfaced in Kang Fu's mind one by one.He always remembered the conversation between Zeng Guofan and him facing the chessboard the night before he went to Chizhou to persuade Wei Jun to surrender. "Vendor, your ancestral Go game is about to be given away to someone else, don't you feel bad?" When Kang Fu put the chess pieces into the box one by one, Zeng Guofan asked. "Of course I feel uneasy if I want to give away a chess piece that has been passed down for nine generations. However, if I can really recruit a group of thugs for the court and exchange for a city, then I will not feel bad." Kang Fu said completely It's from the heart. "You are really a person who cares about the overall situation and understands the general situation." Zeng Guofan praised, "However, I will try to get this chess piece back in the future." "How to do it?" Kang Fu was puzzled, "Can I get back what I gave away?" "I will explain it to Wei Jun, and then exchange it with something." Kang Fu is very grateful. After Kang Fu put away all the chess pieces, Zeng Guofan suddenly said: "Price man, have you ever thought that people in the world are actually pieces on the chessboard, whether it is us or Changmao. I often think like this , Whenever I think of this, I feel very discouraged, I wonder if you have thought about it?" "I've thought about it too. But I think, only we are the pawns. Your Excellency, you are always a pawn." Kang Fu said with a smile. "No." Zeng Guofan shook his head and said solemnly, "Including me, they are all pawns, black and white children who can't help but be manipulated by others." "Who is the other person?" Kang Fu opened his eyes wide and asked, "Is it the emperor?" "Sometimes the emperor is the one holding the piece, and sometimes the one being held. In the final analysis, the emperor is also a pawn." Zeng Guofan looked at the empty gate, as if thinking deeply. "So who is this 'other'?" Kang Fu asked. "God!" Zeng Guofan replied with a wry smile. Kang Fu really wanted to listen to it again, to hear the views of life from this knowledgeable and unique big man. He estimated that there would be some incisive expositions, but he was disappointed.Zeng Guofan stood up and said, "It's very late today, and you have to leave tomorrow for a big event. After you persuade Wei Jun to come over, let's have a good chat." After Wei Jun surrendered, Zeng Guofan never continued this topic.However, Kang Fu also saw the other side of the commander-in-chief of the Hunan Army's Lingfu from it - timidity! "Vendor, it's your turn to go." Zeng Guofan reminded gently.Kang Fu woke up from the memories of the past and hurriedly cast a son.This shot was cast in the wrong place, and the originally favorable situation became unfavorable. Kang Fu was really not in the mood to play chess tonight, he tried his best to play a few moves, and gradually recovered the situation.Just after he breathed a sigh of relief, Zeng Guofan said again: "Valentine, I know I won't live long, and this game of chess is the last game of my life. Although I really want to keep you by my side, there is actually no need for this Bibi, you and I met by playing Go 20 years ago, and ended with the last game of Go 20 years later. Speaking of it, this is also a fate. Do you still remember what I told you that year, we are all chess pieces words?" "Remember." Kang Fu replied heavily. "In my life, especially in the past twenty years, I have done many involuntary things. When I think about it tonight, it seems like a dream; there are many things that I want to do but can't do, which makes me sad. I happen to Compared with a chess piece, if someone puts it here or there, I can't even make the decision." On the eve of going to Chizhou that year, Kang Fu, the battalion officer of the personal army, was interested in hearing what the commander-in-chief of the Hunan Army said, "We are all pawns".Tonight, Kang Fu, a hermit from Dongliang Mountain, suddenly felt disgusted with the words of the first-class Yiyonghou, governor of Liangjiang, a university scholar.Kang Fu thought: Why did he mention this?Is it to shirk responsibility for killing Wei Jun's uncle and nephew?Kang Fu finally couldn't help it anymore: "Master Zeng, you said that you are like a pawn, you can't help yourself. Could it be that killing Wei Jun and Wei Yide is also involuntary?" Kang Fu's harsh questioning made Zeng Guofan quite embarrassed, and he replied weakly: "You are right, killing Wei Jun and Wei Yide is beyond your control. I know this matter will stimulate you, because you I made a promise to them. But the price, have you ever thought that this matter is not exciting to me? Not only did I make a promise to them, but I also wrote a poem for them, and I promised Lingyan Pavilion to do it for them. Painting and Minggong. In order to preserve the reputation of the entire Hunan Army and the long-term stability of the Qing Dynasty, I had to do that! " Zeng Guofan let out a long sigh when he said this, looking very aggrieved. "No wonder the world says he's hypocritical." Kang Fu said in his heart, he really didn't want to go down anymore, so he purposely put his cuffs on the corner of the scale, and then stood up abruptly.The cuffs brought Wenping, and there was a crash, and the whole game of chess was messed up.Kang Fuman thought that Zeng Guofan would feel sorry, but unexpectedly he became happy and said: "It's best if the game is messed up. Best, if you can't tell the winner or loser, it's tantamount to a draw.I have played thousands of chess games in my life, and it ended in a draw. What a blessing! He looked at Kang Fu with dim eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "Valentine, peace should be the most important thing in this world, peace is the most important thing!" " "Yes, peace should be the most important thing." Kang Fu agreed with this sentence from the heart, "Then I put away the chess pieces?" "Take it, take it!" Zeng Guofan nodded, "Price, you will sleep at my place tonight. Yuanfu has gone to the vassal office and will be back tomorrow. You can talk to him. Last time he heard that you were still alive." , I made a special trip to Dongliang Mountain to find you!" Kang Fu was expressionless.He took out the fox armpit scarf Zeng Guoquan gave him from his luggage, put it on the chessboard, and said: "The past is like smoke, it has disappeared from my mind, and I don't want to see Master Jiu again. This scarf belongs to him." The ones left in Dongliang Mountain last time are gentlemen in the mountains and fields, so they don’t need such precious things. When Master Jiu comes back tomorrow, please return them to him on my behalf.” Kang Fu put the sandalwood box into the baggage, and he didn't even look at the black hara cloth beside him.He put the burden on his back and clasped his fists at Zeng Guofan: "I took the chess piece back, so I will leave here, my lord, take care of it!" Zeng Guofan sat on the recliner in a daze, looking at the fox armpit scarf that was sent back, and never had the courage to ask for the jade carving again.Kang Fu came and left in a hurry, Zeng Guofan's mood became even more desolate.The matter clearly told him that Kang Fu came to the supervisory office this time to express the severance of the relationship between them for more than ten years by taking back Go. "Valentine, take care of yourself." At this time, Kang Fu's figure had already disappeared into the night. After leaving Jiangning, Kang Fu returned to Dongliang Mountain to live in seclusion.More than ten years later, he unfortunately died of a sudden illness.At that time, the old couple of the Feng family had already passed away one after another, and Kang Zhong took his mother, wife and children back to his hometown in Xiaheqiao, Yuanjiang.The corruption of the Qing Dynasty and the resistance of the people all over the country made Kang Zhong, who had a chivalrous heart since he was a child, completely break with the traditional morals of his ancestors of the Kang family, who were loyal to the emperor and revered his ancestors, and followed the example of his uncle to drive out the Tartars and restore China. Great Revolutionary Road.He became a famous martial arts teacher in Hunan, and his disciples spread all over Sanxiang and Sishui.Among these disciples are many passionate people, the most outstanding of which is the famous Huang Xing.During the Revolution of 1911, Huang Xing became the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army on stage in Wuchang, and Kang Zhong, who was over half a century old, served as his combat staff.After the success of the Revolution of 1911, Kang solemnly offered the three plum-blossom darts under Kang Lu's tablet, and said excitedly: "Master Uncle, the wish of you and your brothers has finally come true!" Of course, these are all later.
