Chapter Seventy-Five: The local tyrant appears

Xu Xin continued to introduce the following, and then Xu Xu read about these family gang forces that have recently risen in Luoyang;

"Sun Guan, Sun Yuanwai" was originally one of the leaders of the Taishan thieves;

Able to fight well, a few years ago with Tao Qian exterminated the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou, and later also worshiped the captain, but due to the discord with Tao Qian, he left Tao Qian and returned to Mount Tai near the bandit again, because he was particularly good at fighting,

So the surrounding forces didn't mess with him, Tao Qian didn't care about him, and later learned that there was a merchant called Luoyang Pawnshop in Luoyang who was buying burial goods from tombs at a high price.

Sun Guan is different from those scattered tomb robbers, he tangled the original group of thieves, and slowly formed a tomb robbery group called Taishan Party, whose party disciples are active in Sili, Yuzhou, northern Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and northern Jingzhou, and currently occupies more than 20% of the tomb robbery industry in Luoyang;

(PS: The title of "Outside" was still an official name in the Han Dynasty, so it shouldn't be called that, but I really don't know what is more appropriate to call it, so let's call it Outside; There is also the Taishan Party, the party here, but the meaning of the gang, the meaning of the party, not the concept of the party that later generations are familiar with)

"Sun Kang, Sun Yuanwai" was also one of the leaders of the Taishan thieves.

It was Sun Guan's brother, and it was Sun Kang who informed Sun Guan of the news of the Luoyang pawnshop, who was rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, not as good at fighting as Sun Guan, but good at calculation, and used the money obtained from the tomb robbery in the early stage to start a private salt business.

Nowadays, the salt of the Han Dynasty is mainly produced in Xuzhou and Yizhou, Sun Kang ran the salt road from Xuzhou to Luoyang, which he was most familiar with, because Luoyang did not restrict private salt sales, so there were many families, merchants, and gangs in Luoyang to sell salt in Luoyang.

But Sun Kang used calculations, coupled with Sun Guan's Taishan Party to help the fire and kill many other salt dealers, and now the entire Luoyang private salt trade is basically in Sun Kang's hands, and now it has become the largest private salt group in Luoyang, called Luoyang Salt Gang;

Other small forces who want to sell salt in Luoyang also have to give him an offering, and some who don't want to give him an offering can only sell illegal salt in other state capitals, but the princes of other state capitals strictly control illegal salt, so they are far less profitable than Luoyang, and the current Luoyang Salt Gang even surpasses his younger brother Sun Guan in terms of power.

"Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Yuanwai" was originally a leader among the bandits in Montenegro.

Because of the defeat and escape after a vicious battle with Zhu Ling under Yuan Shao, he did not dare to return to the camp in Montenegro, so he fled all the way, and found that there was a pawnshop in Luoyang when passing through Luoyang to recover the funeral goods at a high price, so he also started to rob the tomb for a living, and later accidentally got into a relationship with the power of Gongsun Zhan,

Because Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao needed a large amount of grain and grass to start a war, Zhang Baiqi smuggled good horses from Gongsun Chan to the Luoyang market to sell, and after selling, he bought grain and grass in Luoyang on the spot and transported them to Youzhou; The price of war horses in this era has always been priceless, and the surrounding forces regardless of Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo, Kong Rong, Zhang Xiu, Tao Qian, and Liu Biao have secretly sent people to disguise themselves as businessmen to buy war horses from Zhang Baiqi;

As a result, Zhang Baiqi became the largest military horse smuggler in Luoyang, in fact, Luoyang has not restricted the sale of horses, but horses are important materials, so Zhang Baiqi has always been more cautious, and his forces are also known as Luoyang Horse Gang in Luoyang.

"Liu Shi, Liu Yuanwai" is the same as Zhang Baiqi's identity, and he was also a leader among the Black Mountain thieves before.

But it was not the people in the inner circle, Liu Shi did not have any pursuit, and he joined the Montenegrin Army at that time to be able to eat meat and drink wine without being bullied, but the more and more defeats of the Montenegrin Army also made him feel scared, and he undoubtedly learned the news that Zhang Baiqi had made a fortune in Luoyang.

So Liu Shi also took his relatives and hundreds of brothers to Luoyang, at the beginning he also relied on tomb robbery to make a vote, and later because the Luoyang expansion project required a large number of people, Liu Shi went everywhere to recruit displaced people,

Sometimes it is to directly rob people, and then hand them over to Lu Zhi in exchange for remuneration and rewards, after the initial fear, many of the robbed laborers found that they came to Luoyang in addition to working tired, everything else was very good, there was a full meal, and there was a salary, and many laborers were very grateful to Liu Shi for bringing them to Luoyang to work.

Later, more and more laborers gathered around Liu Shi, and Liu Shi became a role similar to the leader of later workers in the Han Dynasty, and established a gang called Daodaotang; In the beginning, there were many labor gangs that developed by introducing and grabbing people.

However, because Liu Shi is a person who is accustomed to seeing blood and is brave and ruthless, after many fires, only the Daode Hall is left in the labor gang of Luoyang University; On the contrary, Lu Zhi felt that instead of managing a large number of homeless laborers, it was better to give the money directly to Liu Shi and let him arrange the laborers to work, as long as the construction period was not delayed, so Liu Shi's moral hall became the gang with the largest number of people in Luoyang now.

"Zhang Wei, Zhang Tianshi" Tianshi Dao (commonly known as Wudou Midao) is the younger brother of the third generation of Tianshi Zhang Lu,

At first, he went to Luoyang to buy grain and grass, and later found that the effect of preaching in Luoyang was very good, so he was not in Huihanzhong, but stayed in Luoyang.

In many places, people can't eat, so the number of believers is limited, but the price of grain in Luoyang is low, so under the encouragement of Zhang Wei, a natural orator, many farmers from other places who came to Luoyang have joined the Wudou Rice Dao, which shows that the power of faith is very good, and now there are more than 10,000 believers in Luoyang Tianshi Dao, so now Zhang Wei as a religious leader in Luoyang was also invited to the venue.

"Wu Dun, Wu Yuanwai" was also one of the leaders of the Taishan thieves,

The status is similar to Sun Guan, higher than Sun Kang, when he saw the Sun brothers making a windfall in Luoyang, he also came to Luoyang with a vote of brothers to do a full-time tomb robbery business, he didn't have Sun Kang's brains, but he was very bold, and often took his brothers to secretly go to the Dongzhuo realm in Guanzhong to rob the tomb.

Because few of the tomb robbers in Luoyang over there dared to go, although Wu Dun did it later than Sun Guan, he did not earn much less than Sun Guan, and Wu Dun also established his own gang in Luoyang, called the Tai'an Gang; But it is rare to see people from this gang active in Luoyang, because most of the time they are busy robbing tombs.

"Yin Li, Yin Yuanwai" was also one of the leaders of the Taishan thieves,

The status is the same as that of Sun Guan and Wu Dun, and he also saw that Sun Guan made a windfall and brought his own brothers to Luoyang, but he did not go to rob tombs like others, but found that there were a large number of people in Luoyang who sold weapons, armor, and arrows in Luoyang; Because Luoyang is the only place in the world where the government does not prohibit trafficking,

Therefore, these contraband in other places can be bought directly in the market in Luoyang, and Yin Li is a bit like the protagonist of the king of war in the movie, buying a large number of weapons, armor, and arrows from Luoyang and trafficking them to those princes who are fighting in the territory to sell them at a high price to make huge profits, Yin Li also created a special arms smuggling group in Luoyang, called the Big Knife Society.

"Chang Feng (xi), the last of the Taishan thieves outside Chang Yuan,

and Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Yin Li to form the Taishan Sikou; Of course, at this time, the people who hated them were given to them, Chang Xian, this person was insidious and vicious, capricious, and the last of the four to come to Luoyang.

What he did was basically the same as what the underworld did in later generations, that is, he went to those small businesses that had no power to protect him to collect protection money, and entangled a vote of unemployed vagrants to earn money by intimidating and threatening businessmen, and his reputation was also the most stinky among many people, but he knew how to be more measured, and he never offended other big forces or the government; The gang that Chang Feng created himself is called the Black Tiger Gang.

"The original Xiongnu Shan Yu" was the original Xiongnu Shan Yu,

Because the internal struggle of the Xiongnu was defeated by the opponent, he led his few hundred followers to flee to the mainland, and came to Luoyang, although it was not Shan Yu, but in order to show respect, he was still called Shan Yu, as for the previous Shan Yu also came to discuss the matter because this Shan Yu knew Chinese,

He now defected to Liu Braid, the only cavalry force in Liu Braid's hands, but Liu Braided did not nominally take him under his banner, but thought that he would have the opportunity to support him in the future to establish a minority force supported by Liu Braid's territory in the Xiongnu territory.

"He Yan, He Yuanwai" The grandson of He Jin, a general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty,

He Jin is Liu Braid's uncle, so He Yan is also a close relative of Liu Braid, originally fled to Wancheng to avoid trouble, and returned to Luoyang after learning that Liu Braided controlled Luoyang.

originally wanted to make He Yan an official, but He Yan refused, so Liu Braided let He Yan do a wine-making business in Luoyang. Because there is Liu Braiding behind him, few people dare to openly do it against him.

He Yan now almost monopolizes the liquor business in Luoyang, many foreign merchants are secretly buying fine wine from He Yan, He Yan has also become a figure in Luoyang, he created Luoyang's largest monopoly liquor Bamboo wine fairy has also become the largest liquor workshop today.
