September 14, 1900.

Shanghu, French Concession, Lishi Road, White Elephant Mansion.

White Elephant Mansion is a very famous European-style manor in the French Concession, this manor is almost in the formation of the Shanghai Concession, it began to build, it took three years to build, covering an area of more than 10 acres, it has three main buildings, several annex buildings and gatehouses, which can accommodate two or three hundred people at the same time.

However, just three days ago, the White Elephant Mansion changed hands, and the original owner of the manor, Petroul, simply packed his bags and moved out of the manor, living in another yard of his.

The new owner of the White Elephant Mansion, surnamed Xue, named Xiurong, is said to be a returned Chinese surnamed Xue, in fact, he is indeed a returned Chinese, but he is from the small town of Aledrovsk in the Far East of Tsarist Russia, and his real identity is the commercial representative of the Black Dragon Army.

Three days ago, as an important figure in Yue Weihua's layout of Shanghai, Qin Haiji and other 21 special combat team members, Xue Xiurong and other six business representatives, and the family members of several generals such as Yang Fengxiang and Wang Hankun, the general advisers of the Black Dragon Army, who were taken over in Yanjing, arrived in Shanghai smoothly.

Of course, Qin Haiji and his entourage were not the first Black Dragon Army personnel to arrive in Shanghai, in fact, the Black Dragon Army Intelligence Department's intelligence team in Shanghai arrived a week earlier than them, and the purchase of the White Elephant Mansion was actually the price negotiated by the intelligence team in the early stage, and after Xue Xiurong and others arrived, they paid directly.

The White Elephant Mansion, in a temporary conference room, the atmosphere is quite serious, there are not many people inside, only five or six people, the leader is undoubtedly Qin Haiji, one of the original Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team squadrons, and the three team leaders are Lu Qing, Ma Weiqun, Nie Haibo, and business representatives Xue Xiurong and Zou Kesi.

"After three days of investigation, and some information from BFIPU, I think we have to get started." Qin Haiji went straight to the point and said: "Before the boss went out, he gave me a death order, that is, to create a territory of his own within three months, and after half a year, he will be among the first-class gangs in Shanghai, and a year later he will become the largest gang in Shanghai, so it can be said that the task is heavy and the time is tight, but I have already established the military order, and now I need the full cooperation of all of us here." ”

"Haha, before we came here, we were really not sure, but by learning the **** introduction and gang management given by the commander-in-chief, we really didn't have the confidence, but now I can't help but show my skills." Ma Weiqun said with a smile.

"Indeed, if it is true as the information says, then the gang is actually not difficult to mix, but it is more difficult to mix with the patrol and capture house, and if you want to climb to the position of inspector (inspector general of Hua Detective), it is estimated that it will be difficult to make the trip every few years." Lu Qing also agreed.

It took nearly a month to travel nearly 3,000 kilometers from Aihui to Shanghai, and it took nearly a month to hurry up and hurry, and in such a boring process, thanks to the several treasure books that Yue Weihua gave Qin Haiji, this trip was not too boring, and at the same time pointed out the direction for Qin Haiji.

"Okay, so let's have a good discussion about how to develop?"

"My personal opinion is that it is necessary to walk on multiple legs and work together to be able to complete the tasks given to us by the commander-in-chief, first of all......

Qin Haiji's idea is very perfect, in Shanghai, a place with a complex environment, if you want to gain a foothold and become strong, you must develop both black and white at the same time.

In Shanghu can represent the white road, there are public concessions, French concession foreigners, there are also Shanghu County magistrates and Taoists, of course, this is a higher level, those who directly deal with the **** of the white road, in the concession is actually mainly patrol houses, in Shanghu County is the yamen's errands, fast catch, etc., to clarify these complex relationships, it is really not a simple matter.

In terms of Shanghai, there are many gangs, hooligans and ruffians, fights and brawls in the streets and alleys, which are even more commonplace, but relatively speaking, the simple development of gangs is simpler, nothing more than a large number of people, mixed with reputation, however, if you want to rely on the gang to become strong in Shanghai, it is not so easy, because Shanghai is the world of the Qing Gang, and other gangs want to gain a firm foothold, they must agree.

Therefore, Qin Haiji's plan is to act at the same time in black and white, and in terms of white, he is not familiar with the foreigners in the public concession and the French concession, and there is no way to hook up directly, so he can only start with the patrol room, and the wolf's tooth special combat team is not a problem with skill and marksmanship, as long as it costs a little bit of relationship and money, it will not be too difficult to enter the patrol room.

"Lu Qing, you have mainly inspected the French Concession in the past two days, and you have also learned about the patrol and capture houses in the French Concession, how about you go to the mixed patrol and capture houses?" Qin Haiji asked.

Go to the mixed patrol room, especially an outsider, it is not small, you must know that in Shanghai, the underworld forces are extremely rampant, a small patrol arrest, was sunk to the Huangpu River, it is definitely not even a splash, in many movies in later generations, after the gang fights, the patrol room comes out to collect the body, although the picture is a little exaggerated, but it does exist.

Therefore, after hearing Qin Haiji's words, although Lu Qing had already made a certain psychological preparation, he still chuckled in his heart, but his face did not show anything unusual, he just said happily: "In the squadron, if I am sunk to the Huangpu River one day, the old and young in the family, I will have to trouble the squadron leader to take care of it more." ”

"Lu Qing, close your crow's mouth." Qin Haiji glared and said.

In fact, Qin Haiji knew what Lu Qing meant, Lu Qing was not afraid of death, after all, no matter how dangerous the place was, where could it be compared to the battlefield, but Lu Qing and they were all afraid of the unknown and silent death, not on the battlefield, the death was heroic, and the death was without regrets.

"Hehe, just kidding, just kidding, squadron leader, don't worry, I promise that within three years, a detective will come and show you." Lu Qing smiled.

"Public Concession Patrol House, Ma Weiqun, you can go." Qin Haiji nodded again.

"Yes, Squadron Leader." Ma Weiqun commanded.

"It's not easy to go to the patrol room to start with the followers, the dirty work is tiring, and the work that offends people may be done by you, here I want to remind you that everything must be able to endure, and you must say less and see more and do more."

"In addition, I will regularly send people to give you sufficient funds every month, usually do not need to save too much, for bosses and colleagues, be generous, and invite people to eat and drink more if you have nothing to do, this is a classic saying of the promotion of the treasure book."

"Understood."

"There is another thing you have to understand, the people who came out of our wolf tooth special combat team are all baby bumps, before the commander-in-chief went out, he repeatedly told me that although the task is heavy, everything is not achieved quickly, and we must seek development under the premise of ensuring our own safety, which is especially important for the two of you."

"For this reason, I can't let you fight alone, so let's pick two of your subordinates each, who will be responsible for playing the periphery for you, liaising in the center, and if you really need help, you can have a ,......。 to take care of."

"No, Squadron Leader." (To be continued.) )
