At this time, the leisurely steward spoke up, and he walked up to an Englishman with a stern face, bent slightly, and said in stiff and non-standard English: "Dear sir, I apologize to you for the mistakes of my workers. Please rest assured that the compensation will satisfy you as well as the market price. ”

"Smack, smack!"

“ok！”

The Briton clapped his hands twice, and the overseer immediately withdrew. Then he said to the steward. "I believe in axes...... Oh, it's the workers' union, and a satisfactory compensation will be given. ”

"Please continue!"

Just like the traces scratched by the wind blowing the water, the 'big event' that could have beaten people to death at least half a year ago has disappeared so naturally now.

This is by no means to the British favorite.

Today's British Empire, today's European and American countries, every pore is still permeated with the worst dirt in the world. They are not the same as the world will be clamoring for freedom and human rights more than 100 years later.

The reason why this Englishman is so 'peaceful' is that the Axe Gang, that is, the British call the workers' union, paid for their lives, iron blood and cruelty.

At the first moment of its debut six months ago, the most ferocious overseers of the 27 Shanghai docks and their families, together with two notorious assistants, filled the door, and more than 150 lives were reduced to the wreckage of the fire overnight.

At that time, the whole Shanghai Road was shaken. Such a brutal and extremely targeted and spicy method silenced the comprador class and the Chinese overseers in the entire Shanghai area.

is a foreigner who has always been a 'uncle', and rarely goes out arrogantly in the next half month. Some foreigners with status and status hug them as soon as they go out, and they can bring more than a dozen bodyguards.

The patrol houses of the Shanghai Provincial Yamen and the concession became the two most stressful places in Shanghai during that period. Although the patrol of the British Concession and the French Concession is very popular.

In the third year of Xianfeng, in 1853 of the Western calendar, forced by the military pressure brought by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Xiaodaohui Uprising to Shanghai, the British, French and American concessions reached a union, and established a patrol house with the following year. Founded in 1854, the Shanghai British Concession Patrol Office was the first truly significant police agency in modern Chinese history. However, in the second year of Tongzhi, the French Concession withdrew from the union and formed a "Board of Directors" on its own, and the British and American Concessions merged in the third year of Tongzhi.

The patrol force in the British and French concessions was composed entirely of Europeans, mainly British and French, or retired soldiers from the British and French territories and territories, or soldiers and sailors in Shanghai. These people are naturally very reliable in the eyes of foreigners.

However, the half-month investigation between Shanghai Road and the patrol room did not find any definite clues or targeted suspects. Until that day, thirteen Chinese took the initiative to stand up and surrender.

On that day, Shanghai Tang added an extra word - the Axe Gang!

The Axe Gang, which took the initiative to stand up, did not point its blade at the Europeans and Americans, it only took a deterrent and deterrent force. In the days that followed, he also took the initiative to give a generous gift. Although some of these gifts are quietly delivered to people's bedside at night.

But the Shanghai Dao and foreigners who couldn't find the shadow of the high-level of the Axe Gang at all, even if they responded very well to the Axe Gang's survival, they didn't dare to really tear their faces. Because the power of the Axe Gang's burst is so amazing!

It was by relying on thirteen lives, relying on iron and ferocity that the Axe Gang became famous in Shanghai in one fell swoop. Although it is much inferior to the traditional Qinghong Gang in terms of strength, the Qinggang Hongmen is too poor in terms of deterrence in combat effectiveness.

What can be compared to the Axe Gang secretly supported by Liu Xian?

This thing was made by Wang Qing, the eldest brother sent to Shanghai by Liu Xian. Although Wang Qing is involved in crime, Liu Xian has always been curious about why, which is completely different from the well-behaved Wang Qing in his impression. But the name of the Axe Gang is what he called, and all the support is no less.

When Wang Qing 'lit the cannon', ninety percent of the manpower he used was the elite of Liu Xian's personal soldiers secretly sent to Shanghai.

It is precisely because of this combat power that the Axe Gang, which is committed to expanding its power in the docks, has made the foreigners and overseers a lot more friendly, so that the Green Gang, which has a traditional sphere of influence at the docks, dare not stop it!

In March, Wang Qing didn't know where he heard about the word "trade union", so he started a workers' union. And the introduction of the advanced concept of the trade union, began to take the initiative to stand at the forefront of the dialogue with foreigners. Without touching the interests of foreigners, safeguard the rights and interests of the wharf laborers.

The Axes have unconsciously completed a huge transformation.

Liu Xian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he learned this. Although his cheap uncle has not yet gotten rid of the scope of traditional Chinese folk associations in terms of organizational power, for example, after joining the gang, he can get three buckets of food per month, the gang can help when he is in trouble, if the amount is too large, he can borrow money from the gang at low interest first, and the members help each other, etc., but the emergence of the workers' union really has a trace of the figure of the union.

Now that it is entrenched in the deepest sixteen-shop wharf, not only has the overseer become a toothless tiger, but even foreigners rarely dare to beat people for no reason.

However, Wang Qing also has a hard time, because of a series of 'stealth' at the top level, the Axe Gang needs a large number of middle-level people to show up. Wang Qing also has to check and balance the middle level below, and he can't let them get too much power alone, otherwise if anyone has a bad heart, won't he be able to immediately empty Wang Qing and other high-level executives of Zhiji if he turns around.

For example, the steward in the incident just now, he is a middle-level in the order of the Axe Gang. Although it is only a lower level in the 'middle class', if it is placed in another gang, the person in charge is a foreman. And now there is no more 'work', only one 'head'!

These people who are basically out of the body and labor, there are seventy or eighty people under the entire Axe Gang, and the monthly money and food is a large amount, plus the expenses of the gang and the expenditure in expanding the power, Wang Qingming's small business on the surface is not able to make a hole at all.

He could only stretch out his hand to ask Liu Xian for money, and once he asked for it, it was all 10,000 taels as a unit.

Liu Xian was happy to see the increasing expansion of the Axe Gang, but the monthly expenditure of a large amount of money and food also made him feel distressed. This money can support him with one or two thousand recruits.

"See? The military gate wants us to have self-hematopoietic function, and we can't always stretch out our hands to ask the military gate for money. Wang Qing shook the letter and shouted to his subordinates.

His voice was high, and the corners of his mouth were foaming, and there were wrinkles in his head.

"Qingye, it's not that we can't make money. That's the military gate that won't let us move. One said helplessly.

Pornography, gambling and drugs, as long as there is power on the beach, do these three lines, and the money is not like running water in your pocket. But Liu Xian had a rule in advance - if you dare to get involved in pornography, gambling and drugs, you will have your head cut off!

It's not that the Axe Gang doesn't have a way to make money, but the money is in hand, and no one dares to take it.

The high-level leaders of these axe gangs are not only old people in Liu Xian's personal soldiers, but also have a family in Hanzhong. Who would dare not listen to Liu Xianam?

"I don't care about that. Today, we must come up with an idea and find a way to make money. Wang Qing waved his arm, unreasonable.
