Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 967, Sweeping black and evil 1
Tianjin, as the place where the capitalism and colonial era of the Ming Dynasty started, plus it is an important gateway to the capital, the prosperity of Tianjin has already spread throughout the world.

Here is a ten-mile foreign company, a bustling street that grows more than ten miles, and thousands of large and small commercial firms. Here you can buy white slaves from Europe, war horses from the Middle East, Persian carpets, and Indian rugs. Spices, cane sugar from South Seas, kangaroo meat from Australia, fur from Gold Island...

Here you can meet Wa people with moon-headed heads and Koreans wearing loose and fluffy skirts; you can negotiate with grassland people in the northern grasslands to buy wool; you can also bargain with Uighurs from the Western Regions on the price of raisins; You can discuss with businessmen from Persia and the Middle East whether it is faster to go by land or by water; you can also discuss Buddhism with people from Siam and Myanmar.

Goods and wealth from all over the world are gathered in Tianjin, which also attracts businessmen from all over the world to trade here. The bustling Tianjin Port never stops from morning to night.

There are too many cargo ships to berth at all. They can only wait in the open sea area and enter the port in order. The fishing boats that come here every day transport mountains of sea fish here, and then they are quickly transported to the capital city and delivered to thousands of households. On the table.

In addition to the prosperous trade, the most important thing in Tianjin is still countless factories and workshops. In the area of ​​factories and workshops, thousands of workshops and factories, large and small, are resounding day and night.

The cement produced here is sold to all parts of Ming Dynasty, even to Persia and the Middle East; the cloth produced here is exported to Europe, it is of high quality and low price, and the supply is in short supply. The only worry is that the price of cotton and wool will increase again; The glass products produced are exquisite and are the favorite of the high society in Europe, the Middle East and the Ottoman Empire, bringing a steady stream of gold and silver; Ships produced by large and small shipyards sail in all major seas of the world.

This is Tianjin, the most prosperous and bustling city in Ming Dynasty, even more prosperous than the capital of Ming Dynasty, with a population of several million.

Whenever commuting here, the spacious concrete road is congested by the flow of people going to and from get off work, and there are countless four-wheeled carriages carrying goods full of goods to and fro here all the time.

The prosperous city, the rapid development of capitalism and colonialism brought endless wealth to the city, but also brought more and more problems.

Security issues and rampant gangs are among the things that bother Tianjin people the most.

Among them, the most chaotic place is the area where Tianjin Xingang is located. Tianjin Xingang is [-] miles away from the original Tianjin Port. It was originally because Tianjin Port was too busy. Some landlords and gentry in Tianjin saw it again. The wealth brought by Tianjin Port led to the construction of Tianjin New Port.

If everything in Tianjin Port is orderly and orderly under the management of Tianjin Port, then everything in Tianjin New Port is very chaotic.

Every wharf here is dripping with blood, and the sea is glowing red. The Shandong Gang and the Henan Gang, which are mainly porters, compete for the loading and unloading of goods in Tianjin Xingang. Big hit.

At the same time, in the neighborhoods near Tianjin Xingang, due to the lack of effective management and control, a large number of outsiders gathered here, forming a huge slum area, where many gang organizations are active.

The begging gangs, mainly organized and recorded begging gangs from the north of Nanzhili to beg for a living, have almost monopolized the begging industry in Tianjin.

At first, the Ax Gang started out as logging and trading timber. It was mainly a group of Shanxi people. They were called the Ax Gang because they always held axes when fighting and fighting for territory.

There is also the Qinglong gang, which is mainly based on the gambling industry, and monopolizes half of the gambling houses in Tianjin; A protection fee is charged for buying and selling.

Gangs are rampant, not only relying on violent means to monopolize the business of certain industries, buying and selling by force, and even openly collecting protection fees, constantly competing for territory with each other, beating and killing, endangering the entire Tianjin.

For this phenomenon, the common people in Tianjin have suffered a lot. Those who live in the rich areas are better off. These places belong to Liu Jin's industries, and all the places belong to Liu Jin. These people dare not go there at all. There is trouble here.

But for places outside the wealthy area, these gang forces are becoming more and more rampant, and the Tianjin government government is powerless to do anything about it, because the total number of servants, arresters, etc. under the Tianjin government government is only less than [-] people, which is still after expansion The number was originally only a few dozen people.

Obviously, this traditional yamen management method can no longer meet the needs of emerging cities, so that it has formed the current scene of Tianjin.

On the wharf of Xingang, Tianjin, people from the Shandong Gang and the Henan Gang gathered together again, each with a sword, gun, sword, and halberd in their hands.Sticks, poles, etc., glared at each other.

"Shandong guy, what do you mean?"

"It's clearly agreed, the boats that come here, you and I, half of each person, why are you messing with the rules again?"

One-eyed Dragon Wang Kuang, the leader of the Henan Gang, looked at the members of the Shandong Gang and asked sharply.

"One-eyed dragon, what's the rule?"

"Did the emperor Lao Tzu issue an imperial decree, or did the imperial court issue a decree?"

Li Qing, the gang leader of the Shandong Gang, glanced at Wang Kuang and said without hesitation that he had wanted to monopolize the business of this wharf for a long time, but this one-eyed dragon was really not easy to mess with, but he still After a few days of making troubles, they kept looking for trouble, and slowly squeezed out all these Henan guys.

"In this way, there is no need to discuss this matter?"

The one-eyed dragon squinted one eye and clenched the machete in his hand.

"discuss?"

"Of course we can discuss it. There are two ports in Tianjin, Tianjin Port and Tianjin Xingang. This Tianjin Xingang was first moved by us Shandong people, so it belongs to us. You should go to Tianjin Port."

Li Qing said with a smile.

"Fuck you~"

"It's true that we Henan people are easy to bully~"

"Kill me!"

When Wang Kuang heard this, he couldn't help cursing, would he dare to go to Tianjin Port to find trouble?
Obviously dare not, but the industry under the command of Liu Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, still has the shares of His Royal Highness in it, and I haven't lived enough yet.

Following Wang Kuang's order, behind him, thousands of people rushed towards the Shandong Gang, and the Shandong Gang was naturally not inferior, there were also thousands of people, immediately Also killed it.

All of a sudden, the entire pier was filled with the screams and wailing of these people. In a blink of an eye, the pier was stained red with blood, and the ordinary people around were already hiding far away, too scared to dare speak out.

The fight between the helpers was very bloody. When they were jealous of each other, they didn't care about it at all, and the whole pier was in chaos.

"Tata~Tata~"

Just as the two major gangs were fighting non-stop, there was a sound of orderly steps on the spacious cement road in the distance. On several main roads, there were groups of Ming troops wearing uniform uniforms, carrying muskets, With a bow and arrow on his back and a saber pinned to his waist, he quickly surrounded Tianjin Xingang Wharf and the slums near the wharf with uniform and neat steps.

The arrival of the army also immediately attracted the attention of all gang forces in this area. The members of the Beggar Gang, Ax Gang, Red Gang and other gangs immediately hid in fright.

As for the inseparable Shandong and Henan gangs who were killed on the pier, they quickly separated in horror, and then looked at the Ming army who raised their guns and surrounded them.

"Master, Lord~"

"I'm from Henan, and the cabinet elder Liu Ge and I are still fellow villagers. There are also people in our Henan gang."

Cyclops was frightened by the scene in front of him, and then hurried forward to please him.

"All gang members, kill without mercy!"

The leading officer didn't pay attention to what he meant at all, and gave him a cold look, as if looking at a dead person, and ordered indifferently.

"Oh!"

Accompanied by his order, intensive gunfire sounded on the pier, and lead pellets attacked the Shandong and Henan gangs on the pier.

The one-eyed dragon Wang Kuang, who was at the forefront, was beaten into a sieve, and he didn't close his eyes until he died.

"Run away~"

Li Qingna, the Hunjiang Dragon of the Shandong Gang, lost even the slightest bit of arrogance. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help roaring.

However, he was already on the list, so how could he be allowed to escape easily? More than a dozen guns were already aimed at him, and as soon as he gave an order, bullets fell on him one after another.

It was only when he died that he realized that he was just a person who came to Tianjin to seek a living, with seniors and juniors, who had planted land, moved goods, entered a factory, and worked as a junior. Two, in the end, he gradually became the boss of the Shandong gang, and finally died under the gun.

"Boom~Boom~"

There was chaos on the pier, under the intensive gunfire, in a blink of an eye, the blood flowing on the pier flowed into the sea, dyeing the blue water red.

Soon, the wharf became deathly quiet, and the Shandong Gang and Henan Gang, which were once invincible, were wiped out like a storm.

From the gang leader to the ordinary gang members, they were all killed under the attack of Leili from the court, with corpses strewn all over the field and blood flowing like rivers.
