Chapter 21: Taking Over Jinan (14)
Zhang Yan'an stepped on a table, the part above the shoulder was exposed to the wall, and when he looked out, he saw a row of soldiers standing a few feet away, standing with guns one by one, murderous, Zhang Yanan also obviously felt a heavy sense of oppression. When the other people saw it, they couldn't help but feel afraid, and the courage that was encouraged by Zhang Yan'an just now almost dissipated.
Although the regiment and battalion have been established for less than a year, they can be regarded as battle-hardened formations, and they have always won battles, so their morale is very high now, and they naturally exude a strong momentum.
After all, Zhang Yan'an has been the hall master for more than 20 years, he has a good body, a good house, and has seen some big things, so he can still maintain his composure at this time, and said loudly: "I advocate Yan'an in Xia Anluo Hall, I don't know which one is the steward opposite?
Luo Yue sneered and said, "In the past ten years, your An Luotang has been rampant, blackmailing, and bullying the market in Jinan Mansion, and have you done less? If you are also a good citizen, then there will be no bad people in this world." Not to mention, yesterday you smashed two shops and killed more than a dozen people, wasn't it done by your An Luotang? ”
Zhang Yan'an listened, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while, what is An Luotang usually doing, Zhang Yan'an of course knows in his heart that the gang is not a charity hall, it is a matter of giving medicine to doctors, paving roads and repairing bridges, but it has been like this for so many years, including before An Luotang became the first gang in Jinan, other gangs also came over like this, so everyone takes this state for granted, but now that overseas Chinese want to pursue it, Zhang Yanan naturally has nothing to say.
Of course, at this point, Zhang Yan'an didn't want to have this kind of verbal dispute with Luo Yue, and said: "Our An Luotang has 3,000 disciples, even if you can destroy the hall, there are still a large number of disciples everywhere, if they make trouble in order to avenge us, Jinan City will never have a peaceful day, and you may not stay in Jinan for long." ”
Luo Yue shook his head and said, "I advise you not to have such illusions anymore, not to mention that once the hall is destroyed, how many of those peripheral disciples are loyal to An Luotang and want to avenge you? ”
Zhang Yan'an's heart sank, knowing that he had lost his last bit of chips, and thinking of this, Zhang Yanan also had a thought of letting go, and said loudly: "Okay, what do you want." Even if you want to destroy Anluotang, you don't want us to surrender. ”
Luo Yue smiled and said: "Our principle is to only punish the first evil, and the followers will not die, the leaders of the Anluo Hall will definitely be unable to escape death, but the other disciples of the hall, as long as there is no life, raise their hands to surrender, and confess their sins, they can spare the death penalty." Therefore, the disciples of An Luotang have listened well, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender, you can avoid death, we are talking about it, so don't follow them to die stupidly. ”
Zhang Yan'an's body was shocked, and when he looked back, he saw that many people had a look of hesitation on their faces, obviously it was Luo Yue's words just now, which made many people's hearts shake, after all, most people still hold the idea that it is better to die than to live, so as long as they don't die.
At this time, Luo Yue said again: "There are also the leaders of An Luotang, you also listen, although you are all unable to escape death, but your surrender can ensure that your family and children are safe, so once you die, you can exchange for the safety of your family, where to go, you can choose for yourself." ”
And this time even Zhang Yan'an's heart was a little shaken, because he also has family and children, and there are quite a few people, a total of more than a dozen people, if he dies, he can get his family, or most of the family is safe and sound, Zhang Yan'an is naturally willing, although Zhang Yan'an doesn't know, overseas Chinese talk is not counted, but you can always gamble, after all, there is still a chance; if you continue to resist, overseas Chinese really attack the courtyard, I'm afraid no one will live, so Zhang Yan'an said: " Okay, you give me a moment, and let's talk about it. ”
Luo Yue nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to hurry, we can't wait too long." ”
In fact, it is not difficult for the People's Army to attack the courtyard, but in this way, An Luotang will inevitably be trapped and fighting, and the People's Army will inevitably have casualties. Moreover, those who can capture the leaders of Anluo Hall alive will also have content at the trial meeting in the future.
After a short time, I saw Zhang Yan'an climb to the wall again, and said: "We surrender, but you have to talk and count, we will let you fall, but we must spare the disciples of An Luotang, and we are not allowed to hurt our family, otherwise we will settle accounts with you if we are ghosts." ”
Luo Yue said: "Don't worry, our words count, and we will never affect the family, you have to surrender, come out one by one, raise your hands, don't take weapons, the head of the staff comes out first, the others follow, the old and weak, women and children are at the back." ”
Although it took more than two hours to accept the surrender and take the inventory, it took only more than three hours for the entire battle to end, and it was less than 10 o'clock when the KPA escorted the prisoners out of Anluotang.
At this time, all the shops of An Luo Tang in Jinan City were also seized, and a small number of relevant personnel were killed due to stubborn resistance, but most of them were arrested or surrendered voluntarily; at about 12 o'clock, the operation outside the city also came good news, An Luo Tang's manor outside the city was all broken by the People's Army, most of the disciples of An Luo Tang were either killed or arrested, and only a small number of people escaped, after all, the manor was too big, and it was inevitable that there would be some omissions.
However, on the whole, the operation was extremely successful, with a total of more than 200 people killed, nearly 800 prisoners, and most of the leaders of Anrotang were arrested. As for the People's Army itself, not a single battle was killed, only 12 soldiers were wounded, and more than 20 manors, houses, and shops were seized, and the confiscated property had to be further investigated in detail.
So at noon, Wang Sheng ordered that the state of martial law in Jinan be lifted and everything returned to normal, but two more announcements were issued, one was to announce the crimes of An Luo Tang and the reasons for the closure of An Luo Tang; and those who had been persecuted by An Luo Tang in the past could go to the government office to complain and expose them; and it was strictly forbidden for any group or gang to collect money and fees from shops under various pretenses in the future.
Of course, the crime against An Luotang is not just about smashing shops two days ago and hurting people's lives, the focus is on the fact that An Luotang has been rampant and domineering in Jinan over the years, which shows the justice of the traveler to destroy An Luotang, not because An Luotang offended the traveler, but because An Luotang has done too many bad things over the years, and the extermination of An Luotang is to eliminate harm for the people.
In addition, one An Luo Tang was defeated, and the traverser did not want to see another An Luo Tang stand up again. After all, there is not only one gang organization in Jinan City, Anluotang, it is only the largest one, and there are 4 or 5 other gangs of all sizes, and now there are no Anluotang, it is estimated that the other gangs are eager to fill the vacuum behind Anluotang, but the goal of the traverser is not only to defeat an Anluotang, but to clean up all the gangs in Shandong, so they will never let other gangs take this opportunity to rise.
Of course, it is easy to exterminate an Anluotang, but it is difficult to clean up all the gang organizations, because in this era, the gang organizations have penetrated deep into the Chinese people, and the existence is reasonable, and the widespread existence of gangs is mainly due to the limited control of the ancient Chinese dynasty over the grassroots of society, in a sense, the gang organization is actually due to the lack of management of the dynasty, and the formation of a grassroots self-management system. Therefore, it is impossible to clean up all the gang organizations in a simple and crude way.
And to clean up all the gangs. On the one hand, it is necessary to cut off the economic sources of the gangs; on the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the control and management of the grass-roots level; there are usually two sources of income for the gangs, one is for various industries, and the other is for the collection of protection fees; it is necessary to strengthen supervision and guidance over the gangs' industries, incorporate them into normal market behavior, and promote the industrial transformation of the gangs; and resolutely crack down on the behavior of collecting protection fees, and establish an effective grass-roots management system; in the old time and space, the ancestors of the time-travelers almost wiped out all the gang organizations.
Compared with the first announcement, the second and third announcements were more shocking, and the second announcement announced that all brothels and pawnshops in Jinan City would cease to operate immediately from the day the announcement was issued. Among them, brothels and pawnshops need to be rectified and inspected according to the instructions of the Jinan government, and only after passing the test will they be allowed to continue to operate
The third proclamation announced that from the day after the proclamation was issued, the opening of tobacco houses and casinos in Jinan City would be forever prohibited; those who set up private casinos would be severely punished; and the sale, sale, trafficking, and storage of opium would be strictly prohibited; and all those who smoked opium must be compulsorily addicted; at present, all shops and private individuals in Jinan must hand over all opium stored on a regular basis, and those who fail to do so within the time limit will be punished with a capital offense; and from the day after the proclamation is issued, those who sell, buy, sell, sell, sell, sell,
These three announcements were issued, once again caused a sensation in the city of Jinan, by which it is the third announcement, ban on gambling and smoking, in fact, many people of insight know that the two vices of gambling and drugs are extremely dangerous to the society, but the interests of all parties involved are too much, and the resistance is too great, especially the ban on smoking also involves foreigners, so everyone wants to do it, but they can't do it. As soon as these three announcements came out, many people applauded, but there were also many people who looked at them coldly, thinking about how many capable people with lofty ideals could not do things, and whether overseas Chinese could do it?
