Wang Sheng nodded, and said: "This is a good suggestion, it happened that the attack on the shop happened this morning, this is a good reason for us to deal with An Luo Tang, tomorrow I will use the name of the prefect's yamen, on the grounds that the arrested people confessed, and send the hall master and door master of An Luo Hall to the yamen to confront them, if they don't come, we can forcibly break into An Luo Hall and arrest people on the grounds of disobedience, and stop sealing An Luo Hall." ”

Jiang Feng said, "What if they come, won't we have no reason to seal down An Luo Hall?"

Wang Sheng said with a smile: "It's better to come, you can convict them for any reason, and then you still have to seal An Luo Tang, and you have lost the head, which is more beneficial to our action of sealing An Luo Tang." However, this will require the strong assistance of the KPA. ”

Zhang Zhengjie said: "Don't worry, we can go out at any time." ”

Duan Qian said: "However, we may not have enough troops in Jinan Prefecture, so we need to seek support from Qingdao, at least transfer back some troops from the army stationed on the border." ”

Since Jinan was the capital of Shandong, although the center of the East China government was located in Qingdao, two regiments were still stationed in Jifu, while the other prefectures were stationed with only one regiment, and in some areas one regiment was even in charge of two prefectures. Zhang Zhengjie's regiment was stationed in the city of Jinan Prefecture and was responsible for maintaining the area around the city pole of Jinan, while the other regiment was stationed in the Dezhou area on the border between Shandong and Zhili.

Wang Shengdao: "This is to ask the Executive Committee for instructions, now we will dismiss the meeting first, and I will immediately send a telegram to Tianjin for instructions." ”

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, the Tianjin Executive Committee sent a telegram back to Jinan, agreeing with the resolution of the Jinan Government and giving four instructions to the Jinan Government: First, all local forces that dare to challenge the authority of the traverser must be severely suppressed and must not be soft-hearted; second, opium must be strictly prohibited, and the sale, transportation, and transportation of opium must be strictly prohibited. The three executive committees will demand that the armed forces fully cooperate with the Jinan Government's actions, and have decided to transfer two battalions from the army stationed in Dezhou to garrison Dongchangfu, Tai'anfu, and Dongchangfu, Tai'an, and Tai'an. The Fourth Executive Committee will demand that Qingdao immediately set up a Jinan Land Reform Committee and stationed it in Jinan Prefecture to immediately carry out land reform work in Jinan while suppressing the local forces in Jinan; and at the same time as suppressing the local forces in Jinan, it will immediately carry out land reform work in Jinan; and fifth, the Jinan Government will step up propaganda work, expose the evil deeds of these local forces, pay attention to collecting criminal evidence, prepare for the next public trial meeting, and establish among the people of Jinan the image that the Jinan Government is upholding justice.

After receiving the reply from the Executive Committee, Wang Sheng was naturally very happy, not to mention other support, that is, he received reinforcements from five battalions at once, which nearly doubled the strength of Jinan, and there were enough troops to control the situation. Of course, it is impossible for the reinforced troops to arrive in Jinan immediately, and the nearest ones are, of course, the two battalions stationed in Dezhou, which will reach Jinan by tomorrow afternoon, while the three battalions in the surrounding areas will take two or three days. Therefore, Wang Sheng also considered whether to delay the action for a day, so that the two battalions stationed in Dezhou could reach Jinan, and he would be more sure.

Just the next morning, when Wang Sheng was about to gather everyone to discuss again, something happened again. It turned out that the two shops that were protected by the police were attacked again yesterday, and this time the number of people attacking the shops was larger, and there were also weapons such as knives and axes, although the patrol team resisted hard, but they could not stop it, not only the two shops were smashed, but also the merchants and the police were killed and wounded.

It turned out that two groups of people were sent to the shop yesterday to make trouble, and not only did they fail to do so, but they also lost nearly 10 brothers, which made the current parlor of Anluo Hall, Yan'an, very dissatisfied.

An Luo Tang is not a hereditary gang, but a gang group organization formed by the union of six families, every six years will re-elect the hall master, Zhang Yan'an's family is one of these six families, when he was young, Zhang Yan'an and others, diligent martial arts, brave and aggressive, in the competition with other gangs for territory, the performance is very outstanding, to a member of An Luo Tang, in the entire Shandong Province of the rivers and lakes are famous, and Zhang Yan'an is bold, generous, broad friendship, and many friends on the green forest road have friendship, in Jinan Mansion, many rich people were tied up by the green forest, the family will invite Zhang Yanan to come forward to make peace, so Zhang Yanan has some prestige in the hall.

Later, after taking over Anluotang, he showed Zhang Yan'an's shrewd and capable side, and gave full play to his advantages of broad friendships, so that Anluotang was governed very prosperously. During the First Sino-Japanese War, Liu Kunyi, then the governor of Liangjiang and the minister of trade in Nanyang, was awarded the title of minister of the Qincha to control the wars of the armies inside and outside the Guanxi against Japan. During the war in Shandong, Zhang Yanan led An Luotang to help the imperial court use ordnance materials, and donated 10,000 taels of silver, so that he did some practical things, so as to establish a relationship with Liu Kunyi, and later Liu Kunyi returned to Liangjiang, but this relationship was not broken. And with Liu Kunyi's care, An Luotang also sat firmly in the position of the first gang in Jinan Mansion, under normal circumstances, the Jinan government did not dare to easily find trouble with An Luotang, and Zhang Yan'an also had a prestige in the hall, and at this time he had been in charge of An Luotang for more than 20 years.

This time, Zhang Yan'an decided to go against the East China government, firstly, because the land reform had harmed the interests of An Luotang, although An Luotang had a lot of operations in Jinan City, but land was also an important source of income, and now An Luotang had more than 5,000 mu of land in Jinan Prefecture, and according to the East China Government's [Land Reform Regulations], there was not much left in the end; second, Zhang Yan'an felt that the attitude of overseas Chinese was too rampant.

Wang Sheng negotiated with the local forces in Jinan, An Luotang did not participate, but afterwards Zhang Yan'an heard that a young man of overseas Chinese was so crazy that no one paid attention to him, and there was no room for negotiation about anything, Zhang Yan'an's heart couldn't help but be angry, in recent years, An Luotang has been in Jinan Mansion on this one-third of an acre, and even the government does not dare to be provoked, what about overseas Chinese, and the strong dragon can't fight the head snake, at that time Zhang Yan'an had the intention to give overseas Chinese a little color to see, so that they know who has the final say in Jinan。 So when Xu Chang, Jiang Mingyi, Zhao Pinghe and others came to Zhang Yan'an to deal with overseas Chinese together, Zhang Yan'an agreed immediately.

With An Luotang joining, others are naturally happy, because An Luotang is a gang organization after all, there are enough manpower, and they can fight and kill, and they will inevitably be used against overseas Chinese.

However, everyone decided not to respond to the order of overseas Chinese to ask all shops to register, and asked all shops in Jinan Prefecture not to register, and then it will be up to the overseas Chinese to see what they can do. And the order to punish those shops who went to register naturally fell on the head of An Luotang. Of course, Zhang Yanan agreed, this kind of smashing shops is indeed commonplace in An Luotang, and the government didn't care much about it before, and even if the government wanted to take care of it, the errands who did the work below wouldn't really care, because it was completely impossible to get along with themselves.

But the result was much beyond Zhang Yan'an's expectations, the overseas Chinese officers not only took care of An Luotang's affairs, but also really cared about it, they actually carried muskets, not only killed 3 brothers on the spot, but also captured 7 people, which is something that An Luotang has not encountered in Jinan Mansion for more than 10 years.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Chang, Jiang Mingyi, Zhao Pinghe and others also questioned Zhang Yan'an, saying that they were very dissatisfied with An Luotang's actions, and some people even asked Zhang Yan'an if he was afraid of overseas Chinese.

At this time, Zhang Yan'an didn't expect that the situation had changed, and he only thought about how to get this face back, so he had to smash those two shops again, and only in this way could he save face.

So this time Zhang Yan'an not only arranged more manpower, sent more than 60 people to each shop, but also sent his two disciples to personally lead the team, but also brought machetes, axes and other murder weapons, requiring that these two shops must be smashed, and if they see people, they will be beaten to death, and it is best to kill a few people, and at the same time, he also ordered that if he encounters the detour's deterioration again, don't be afraid, and directly manage and the delegate to do it, even if it is to kill a few delegates.

As a result, early the next morning, the personnel of An Luotang divided into two teams and rushed to the two shops respectively. And the Jinan government was indeed careless, thinking that the troublemakers who were repelled yesterday would definitely not come again today, so they did not add the patrol force, and there was still only one patrol team to protect these two shops, but they did not expect that An Luotang not only sent people again, but also the number of people was 4 or 5 times more than yesterday. After seeing the patrol team, without saying a word, he swung his knife and axe, and the two sides immediately started a fierce fight.

Although the patrol teams on both sides resisted hard, the captain and deputy captain also opened fire, killing several people in a row, but the number of opponents was too large, and everyone was armed with knives and axes, which could not only be used for slashing, but also the axes were still scattered, and they also offset the disadvantage of not having muskets, so the personnel of An Luotang swarmed up, and the two patrols were not opponents at all.

In addition, the members of the patrol team were originally uneven, some of the original errands were to see the wind and rudder, as soon as they saw that there were many people in Anluotang, they immediately turned around and ran, so that the people who stayed and fought with the people in the hall were more passive, and they could only rely on two pistols to avoid strong support, fortunately, there were other patrols on both sides to support, and the two patrols were rescued, otherwise it would be really dangerous, but it could only be self-preservation, after all, two or three patrols, there were more than 20 people, which was not enough to fight against so many Anluotang personnel.

Not only were the entire shops smashed, but even the owners and men of the shops were also cut a lot, and even the shops on both sides were also affected by the pond fish, and suffered a lot of losses.
