Chapter 569: Strike Hard (I)
In the middle of April in 1900 AD, on this day, I don't know what was going on, those ruffians and hooligans who were originally very strict by Wang Guorui's guard division actually went to the streets one by one. Originally, these gangsters were all confined to their nests because of the harsh military law, and they didn't dare to come out to do bad things and interfere with public order. But now they dare to come out one by one, which makes hundreds of people nervous. After the Taiwanese army came, it did not affect the voices in the capital too much. In addition to locking down the capital, preventing people from outside from coming in and people inside going out at will, those who do business with locals are still barely okay. Except for the inn industry, none of the other industries have been affected.
And as long as there is a special pass, those who transport food and dishes can also enter and exit, but they need to be checked. Therefore, this does not have much impact on the lives of local people, everyone should buy groceries or buy groceries, except for a small number of businesses that are more affected, nothing else has been affected much. But now these gangsters have suddenly taken to the streets, which makes everyone feel very scared. If they suddenly come up with something, it's really too much trouble.
"Bring us a big plate of lamb and a big plate of beef!" One of the thugs said.
And the owner of the roadside vendor also felt very hesitant, he was very afraid that these gangsters would not pay for it, and then his loss would be very huge. These small vendors are all small businesses, and they have small profits and small profits, so they can't afford to lose money. So when they saw these thugs on the streets, they all felt very in danger, and they didn't know whether to give them food or not.
"What? Don't hurry up and get the food served? The bastard asked.
"Uncle, did you bring any money?" The boss asked.
But the bastard immediately said, "What? What do you mean by this, grandpa, I'm going to eat in the capital. Do you still have to give money? ”
"Hurry up and serve! If you don't eat, believe it or not? The thug said angrily.
"Then I really can't serve the food, you know, now that we are under the control of the governor of Taiwan, Lord Wang, you bastards dare to be dishonest? If you don't give money, then I'll ask you out!" The boss said very politely.
But the gangster said: "No matter what Wang Guorui says, he is also my courtier of the Qing Dynasty." I am a colleague. ”
"What? Are you a colleague? The boss asked, obviously incredulous.
"Hahahaha, I am now the president of my canonization in the Qing Dynasty, and I am a high-ranking official of the five grades of the dynasty. Even if Lao Tzu eats some of your mutton and beef, what can you do to me? Let me tell you, Lao Tzu is now a five-grade high-ranking official canonized by the Qing Dynasty, and it is useless to beat you. When the time comes, if you think clearly, I will condemn you as a traitor and kill the Nine Clans!" I'm telling you. Now our big boss is the first-rank admiral of the Qing Dynasty, and he is of the same grade as the kingdom of Taiwan, and we are not afraid of him! What's more, he is still a traitor as the court said, and we just happened to clean up the rebellion for the court. And what you said just now is to support rebellion, I can convict you of a crime of rebellion and punish you for the nine clans! The bastard said viciously.
Those Manchu courts were giving those gangster leaders what kind of admirals. After the conditions such as the title of prince and marquis, a certain number of official positions were also given to them. Then they can "appoint" some officials by themselves, so that many low-level gangsters under them have become thousands of households, and the middle and high-level gangsters have actually become the deputy generals of the general army, in short, at this moment, countless gangsters in the capital have suddenly become officials. Where do those gangsters know what the strength of the high-level Wang Guorui, they just know that the governor is from Yipin. And their boss is also the commander of the first grade, so naturally they don't need to be afraid of anything.
This is like many people outside the officialdom, looking at the grade of this officialdom, it is also covered by clouds and mountains. Many of them look at officials of the same level, but their real power and influence are completely different. And they think that officials of the same level have the same status. Since Wang Guorui is the governor from Yipin. His boss is a first-class admiral, so naturally he is not bad at Wang Guorui.
"Hmph, you shameless guys, you all want to be officials? It seems that if you let Lord Wang be the emperor, you guys will be officials, and you guys will also be harming the people! The boss said right away.
"Okay, well, since you are looking for death like this, then don't blame me for treating you as your rebel! Call me, little ones! The little gangster said.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Soon, a group of people also came out here to beat the little boss, and the little boss was immediately beaten all over his body. And the surrounding diners were also stunned, what is the situation? This gangster is actually an official, and this is obviously making them not know what's going on. And they left one after another, and then chose to report to Huang Hua, the head of the garrison in Suncheon Mansion.
However, Huang Hua, the director of the garrison, did not panic too much, because he had already received news in advance that these gangsters would make trouble collectively, so he had already begun to prepare. And he has already discussed it with the officers and men of these guards divisions. Huang Hua and Li Guodong, the commander of the Guards Division, had already formed a joint military and police command, and then everyone was conducting a command to maintain law and order.
"Commander Li Guodong, we will have to suppress these people next, if they continue like this, then I'm afraid there will be problems!" Huang Hua said.
And Li Guodong also said: "Yes, it must be suppressed, but why didn't you notify us earlier, notify us to arrest those gangster leaders earlier, and then make them unable to organize this collective to pick quarrels and provoke trouble?" ”
But Huang Hua said: "Master Li Guodong, you haven't done public security work, so you may not know much about this. These gangsters don't usually go to the streets together to make trouble, but now they are making trouble on the street collectively, which is very abnormal. Such an abnormal situation makes me take it very seriously. I'm sure they're covering up something. Through this collective behavior, they can then cover their behavior in this trouble. They're probably trying to attract our troops, and then they're going to do something in the shadows! ”
"You mean, these gangsters are secretly Chen Cang in the Ming Plank Road? Also, are they making noise? Li Guodong replied in military terms.
Huang Hua nodded, obviously telling Li Guodong that this is what he meant, these gangsters have their own purposes. In fact, these gangsters rarely act so collectively, and they are also organized together by the four gangsters in the east of the city, the south of the city, the west and the north of the city, which is absolutely extraordinary.
"What the hell are they going to do?" Li Guodong asked.
"I don't know, that's why I didn't startle the snakes, I hope they can take the initiative to expose themselves. Now, you're going to arrest the thugs, but I still hope that you will be able to keep them alive so that they can interrogate something. Huang Hua said.
However, Huang Hua also said: "Actually, I still have an idea, that is, to use this gangster to make trouble, to carry out a thorough crackdown action." These gangsters in the capital, all kinds of situations are very complicated, and the relationships behind them are complicated. If we just catch a few ordinary people, then we are not afraid of any problems. Once a large number of arrests are made, there must be a reason. Many of these gangsters were supported by Manchu officials, and if they wanted to have a stable territory in the capital, it was impossible for no one in the court to help as a protective umbrella. So when we first came here, they were all conformists, and we couldn't be too critical of their past. So we've been waiting for them to make trouble, and then we're going to punish them severely. But if those gangsters are small-scale troublemakers, and then we arrest them, it doesn't hurt them, and it's okay to do whatever they want. I have been planning a strike hard, and then I can crack down on the gangsters in the capital, which will be of great help to maintain law and order in the capital. As the saying goes, if you cut the grass and don't remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows. It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers, and we will directly let them suffer a complete and severe beating, so that the warning effect on those gangsters is far greater than the ordinary continuous arrest and deterrence of one by one. ”
These gangsters in the capital, one by one, want to clean them up, and they all have to have a chance. If there are not enough opportunities, I am afraid that it will not be possible to achieve a one-size-fits-all approach, and then such a spring breeze blowing and regenerating will inevitably become the norm. Only by striking hard at one time can he really let them suffer losses and truly maintain the law and order of the capital. Especially the capital of the future, so it is not easy to let these chaos come.
"I see, it's up to us next!" Li Guodong said.
"Order, the 1st Regiment of the Guards Division will immediately start searching for these gangsters throughout the city, and all those who are smashed, looted, burned, robbed while the fire is burning, and other crimes will be sent to the Military Court of the Guards Division, and then interrogated after hearing. These guys, this time we are also going to carry out a thorough crackdown that is stimulating, and we must be able to stop children from crying! Li Guodong said.
"Yes!" The 1st Guards Regiment of the Guards Division immediately began to move, and then they all immediately went out into the streets to arrest these gangsters, and then this time it was necessary to crack down.
However, on the other hand, Zheng Zhicai, the gangster leader in the east of the city, is also thinking about whether their secret plan can be completed this time. (To be continued......)
