Chapter 056: The Roots of the Elders' Association
There was a lot of commotion in the Fuxiang Smoke House, and those who were well-informed soon knew that the army over there was a company of the special operations battalion. Whose unit is the ∑ special operations battalion can be said to be well known in the southern Sichuan region.
Although Wang Mo only has an official military position as the commander of the special operations battalion, everyone knows his status and power in the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army. Even in the eyes of many people, the rapid development and growth of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army and Wang Haoshan's current status are largely supported by his son Wang Mo.
Liu Feng and Qian Ye, who are the head snakes in Luzhou City, are well-informed, and it is very easy to figure out the situation on the side of Hefuxiang Smoke House. When they learned that the army over there was a company of the special operations battalion, they did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed over in a hurry.
The first to arrive was Liu Feng, the head of the security regiment, who trotted all the way over with only two personal guards.
This situation greatly surprised Company Commander Wei, originally he thought that it was impossible for the regiment leader to come over in person, at most he assigned one or two cronies to deal with it, after all, the regiment leader would not come forward in person until a certain level of affairs.
Looking at the regiment leader who was a little out of breath because of the hurry, Company Commander Wei panicked for no reason, and his hands and feet were cold.
Liu Feng did not forget to dress properly, and then walked in front of Wang Mo, stood up and saluted: "Liu Feng, the head of the Luzhou Security Regiment, was ordered to come to report, please instruct the young marshal!" ”
Few...... Young marshal? Young marshal!
Company Commander Wei only felt that the sky was spinning, and his eyes were dim, and he almost fainted on the spot. He expected that Wang Mo might have some strong background or backer, but he didn't expect that Wang Mo himself was one of the most powerful people in the entire southern Sichuan.
It's over, it's really over this time!
Seeing the extremely respectful attitude of the head of the regiment towards the young marshal, it is considered light to take off the skin on his body, and Wei Lianchang's face was full of despair.
The other party, Liu Manfu, behaved better, although he was a little panicked, but he did not lose his temper on the spot. This is because he is very superstitious about the power of the elders' association, and thinks that even if Wang Mo is the young marshal of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, he cannot lead troops to raid the property of the Lizitang so unscrupulously.
As for the rest of the robes and the soldiers of the security regiment, they were terrified, and when they learned that they were charging into the young marshal of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, the panic on everyone's faces was obvious, and they all felt that a catastrophe was coming.
Wang Mo looked at Liu Feng expressionlessly, he was nervous all the time, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and then he said coldly: "Liu Feng, Liu Wenqian, I thought that a young officer like you could make great achievements in the future, so I strongly advocated that you be the head of the Luzhou Security Regiment." The security regiment has the responsibility of maintaining order in the city, but now it has become a thug of the Pao Ge organization, which is really disappointing! ”
Liu Feng was even more frightened when he heard this, and solemnly bowed his head and said: "It's a lowly and stupid position, and it has high hopes for the young marshal!" ”
"Five days! I'll only give you five days to completely clear the security team of all involvement with the Pao Ge organization! If this doesn't work out, you can resign yourself! Wang Mo said coldly, his words full of toughness and unquestionable.
Up to now, Liu Feng dared to shirk the slightest, and said without hesitation: "Don't worry, the young marshal, I promise to completely remove all the robes in the security regiment within five days!" ”
Wang Mo snorted coldly and said, "Now take your people, get out!" ”
"Yes!"
Liu Feng hurriedly went to gather the men and horses of the security group to retreat, and when he saw the already godless Wei Company Commander, his heart was full of anger. If it weren't for the fact that the young marshal was still beside him, he really wanted to kill this Wei Company Commander who caused him a big disaster on the spot.
The more than 100 soldiers of the security regiment were quickly evacuated by Liu Feng, and the hundreds of robed thugs saw this situation, and they really wanted to get out immediately. No way, no one is stupid enough to want to clash with someone who stands at the top of the power pyramid in southern Sichuan, which is properly suicidal.
At this time, a thin old man in a blue robe walked out from behind the crowd of robe brothers, although he always looked like he was squinting slightly and smiling, he could always feel a trace of darkness and coldness in that smile.
Everywhere the thin old man went, the robe buddies bowed down one after another: "Master Qian! ”
The thin old man came to Wang Mo, still smiling, and arched his hand and said, "Old Qian Sande, I've seen the young marshal." The little cub below has eyes and doesn't know that Taishan collided with the young marshal, and please bear with the young marshal and don't have the same knowledge as them. ”
From the moment Qian Sande spoke, Wang Mo knew that this person was an extremely shrewd old fox, I was afraid that the others had already arrived, and he deliberately did not show up to observe how Wang Mo dealt with the security group. Seeing that Wang Mo strongly ordered Liu Feng to clean the security team, and understood that Wang Mo had a tough attitude, he bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Wang Mo sneered: "Don't dare, I should ask Qian Ye to bear with me." Just now, Qian Ye's subordinates said that as long as Qian Ye came forward, even if he was a handsome, he had to give three points. ”
Qian Sande's expression froze slightly, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and then he resumed his smiling appearance and said: "The young marshal said that he was laughing, but it was just the nonsense of an ignorant little cub, so I will give the young marshal an explanation." ”
After speaking, Qian Sande gestured to a professional robe thug in a black suit beside him, and then the professional robe thug nodded, took out a machete, and walked towards Liu Manfu.
Liu Manfu seemed to understand what was going to happen, his fat body trembled, his legs were weak, he fell to the ground, and said with a frightened face: "No... No...... It shouldn't be like this......"
The knife-wielding professional robe thug raised his foot and kicked Liu Manfu to the ground, and then stepped on Liu Manfu's right hand.
Liu Manfu struggled in horror, crying and howling: "Don't, Master Qian, spare me, Master Qian......"
The professional robe thug's movements were very fast, and before Liu Manfu could break free, he slashed at Liu Manfu's right hand with a knife.
The cold light flashed, and blood splattered.
"Ahh
Liu Manfu's terrible screams rang out, his right hand was cut off by Qi Wrist, and blood gushed out from the broken wrist.
Wang Mo frowned and looked at Qian Sande, who was still smiling. The old fox said that he was giving him an explanation, but he dealt with Liu Manfu on the spot, more to deter him.
Qian Sande didn't mean to let people treat Liu Manfu's injuries at all, and said to Wang Mo with a smile: "Young marshal, are you still satisfied with such an explanation?" Tens of thousands of robe brothers in Luzhou City, fish and dragons are mixed, it is inevitable that Liu Manfu will be mixed in with a little cub who doesn't know the height of the sky, please forgive me. As for the goods that the young marshal stole from Hefuxiang, they should be regarded as an apology to the young marshal from our ceremonial hall. ”
Wang Mo was very disgusted by this old fox's behavior, and said coldly: "What do you do with your people, that's your business, and it has nothing to do with me!" I have always been very fair, since He Fuxiang wants to sell me big cigarettes at five times the price, then from now on, He Fuxiang's cigarette tax will be fivefold! ”
"What, the cigarette tax has been increased fivefold!"
When several professional robe thugs behind Qian Sande heard this, they were all very angry, and they almost couldn't help but draw their knives forward.
The movements of the professional robe brother thugs immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers of the first company of the special operations battalion, and the muzzles of dozens of black holes locked on to them for the first time.
Qian Sande raised his hand to stop the angry actions of the robe brother behind him, and readily agreed to Wang Mo's conditions: "No problem, just do what the young marshal said, and Fuxiang's cigarette tax will be increased fivefold from now on." ”
Now that the conditions have been negotiated, hundreds of robe brothers will soon disperse.
After leaving He Fuxiang, one of Qian Sande's henchmen couldn't help but ask: "Master Qian, the surname Wang is too much, and Fuxiang's cigarette tax has been increased fivefold, what is the difference between this and seizure and Fuxiang?" ”
"Stupid, without Hefuxiang, won't you open another Heruixiang?" Qian Sande scolded coldly.
The henchmen didn't expect it to be like this, and they were a little stunned and said: "In this case, will the person surnamed Wang find trouble?" ”
"Don't worry, the little cub surnamed Wang is also a smart person, and he won't fight to the death with our brother Pao. Otherwise, he would not have said that the cigarette tax in Hefuxiang had increased fivefold, but that the cigarette tax in Luzhou as a whole had increased fivefold. Speaking of this, a trace of gloom flashed in Qian Sande's eyes, "This little cub is not easy to deal with, and he has no good impression of our brother robe, so we must guard against him in the future." ”
Qian Sande thought that Wang Mo might be unfavorable to the Elders' Association in the future, but he never imagined that Wang Mo would already start to lay out and clean up the Elders' Association at this moment.
As soon as Qian Sande and hundreds of robe brothers left, Wang Mo instructed Erhu to carefully avoid the eyes of others, and quietly brought his brother Wang Dahu to meet him.
In a temporary secret base near Luzhou Hospital, Wang Mo saw Wang Dahu brought by Erhu.
Although Wang Dahu is a strong man with muscles all over his body, he has seen a lot of the world when he travels south and north, but he is always worried that his behavior with his robe buddies tonight will anger Wang Mo, so he is a little nervous.
"Brother Wang, please be seated." Wang Mo had a very kind attitude, after all, Wang Dahu was an extremely important part of his plan.
How dare Wang Dahu respond to Wang Mo's title of "Brother Wang", and hurriedly said: "It's good for the young marshal to call me by name, I don't know if the young marshal asked Erhu to bring me over, do you have any instructions?" ”
Wang Mo didn't answer, but asked again: "Brother Big Tiger, I don't know what you're doing now?" ”
Wang Dahu didn't know what Wang Mo meant, so he could only answer truthfully: "I usually help the owner run the boat, and I also take a group of hard-working brothers to unload and unload goods on the dock, and eat all the strength rice." ”
That is, the sailor of the cargo ship and the coolie of the dock, no wonder Wang Dahu and the robed buddies he brought with him were all dark-skinned and muscular.
Luzhou is an important port in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and water transportation is very prosperous, so many people at the bottom of the society are engaged in labor occupations related to this. It was precisely because of the fierce competition that Wang Dahu had to join the Pao Brother organization, otherwise it would be impossible to gain a firm foothold at Luzhou Wharf.
However, this is just right, and it is very suitable for the implementation of Wang Mo's plan.
Wang Mo smiled slightly: "Brother Big Tiger, the second tiger is my personal guard, and I won't see you outside." I'm going to buy a few small steamers and hand them over to you to operate, and you will set up a transportation company to be responsible for the freight business of the Luzhou-Chongqing-Wuhan line. ”
What does this mean? Is this pie in the sky?
Wang Dahu was stunned, and asked in disbelief: "Young marshal, are you ...... What do you mean? ”
"Don't worry, I don't mean anything else, there is only one request, that is, the transportation company you set up must make every effort to absorb the members of the robe who have no serious bad deeds, and cut off the influence of the 'public mouth' above on them." Wang Mo thought for a moment, and then continued, "When the time is ripe, it is best for you to be able to establish your own 'public mouth', and even replace the influence of the five halls of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith among the elder brothers. ”
This...... This is to dig the roots of the elder brothers!
Wang Dahu didn't know what to say at all, such a big thing really made him unacceptable for a while.
What is the foundation for the survival and development of the Brotherhood?
Undoubtedly, it is the people at the bottom of society who are spread across all walks of life. Although these people are lowly in status, they are numerous, and they are the cornerstone of the whole society, and they are also the main medium for the Elders to exert influence.
If the robe brother of the Elders' Association is just some military, political, and business dignitaries, Wang Mo will wave his hand, and there is no need to worry about anything at all.
Wang Mo not only plans to let Wang Dahu set up a transportation company to dig the roots of the Elders' Association, but also asks the factories in southern Sichuan to try their best to eliminate the influence of the Elders' Association, and finally separate the Elders' Association from the ordinary people at the bottom of society.
This is Wang Mo's desperate plan to cut off the foundation of the Elders' Association!
