The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March.

The lonely sail is far away and the sky is clear, only the Yangtze River skyline flows!

Yangzhou, that is, the prosperity of Jiangdu, is fundamentally different from the imperial capital of Chang'an.

Because of the gathering of powerful people, the imperial capital of Chang'an has attracted most of the world's wealthy businessmen to settle in, relying on strong popularity and extremely high consumption levels, it has created an economic town with a profound heritage.

The prosperity of Chang'an is based on the powerful.

The prosperity of Yangzhou is purely based on a good geographical environment, as well as a superior economic foundation, land, sea and river roads and other convenient transportation networks, creating such a real rich town.

Wrap 100,000 yuan around your waist and ride a crane down to Yangzhou!

In Lin Sha's eyes, Yangzhou is almost the same as the word money, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a place where wealth is concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River.

When he first arrived, although Lin Sha didn't pay much attention to Jiangdu Wenwu's stuttering, he still wasted several days of time eating and drinking.

He came to Jiangdu under the banner of exploring the way for the emperor, and he couldn't give face to the local forces too much.

I can't say that Lao Tzu's behavior is the secret book of longevity, and it has nothing to do with your birds, where to go back and forth, don't disturb Lao Tzu's interest.

After wasting a few days and seeing everyone he should see, Lin Sha couldn't bear to continue socializing, and directly closed the door to thank the guests, and no one could do anything about him.

These days, he has not been embarrassed in vain, and he has found out a lot of power divisions in Yangzhou from the mouths of civil and military officials in Jiangdu, as well as gentry and celebrities.

Because Yangzhou is the hometown of wealth and nobility, and far away from the political core of the north, the so-called mountain is far away from the emperor. A division of forces was formed here that was different from the imperial capital Chang'an and even the anointed land in the north.

In Yangzhou, the government is the most powerful and the most authoritative. There is no so-called family gate valve that has the strength and prestige of shaking or the government.

Except for the government. The second-level forces are not the local clans, but the gang forces that make people's scalps tingle!

What an eye-opener!

As mentioned earlier, because of the high martial world, the gang power here is unusual.

If it is the real world, gangs and other organizations, as Du Tycoon said during the Republic of China, are the ruler's night pots, which can be used when needed, and kicked aside when they are not needed.

If Yangzhou's is only so effective. Lin Sha absolutely despised it to the end, because the gang couldn't get on the stage no matter what, and they had to live by the faces of the government and powerful people.

However, the gangs in the Gaowu world and the economically developed areas are completely different, and they are not inferior to gangs such as the famous Tiandihui Hong Gang in history, and even surpass.

Take the Bamboo Flower Gang where the two pigs' feet were located in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, according to Lin Sha's superficial understanding of the local squires in Yangzhou, it was just a regional organization, and even the tentacles could not reach into the prosperous Yangzhou.

But the Bamboo Flower Gang is very well organized. There is a military advisor under the gang leader. Then there are the four halls of 'wind, sunshine, rain, and dew', leading the helmsman, incense lord and all the gangs below, and the gangs are almost all over the nearby counties, with a total number of more than 10,000 people!

And it's well-organized. and possess a great deal of wealth and industry, so it is more accurate to say that it is more of a paramilitary organization than a gang of a local character.

The Bamboo Flower Gang is not a powerful force. Because there is no powerful clan as a backer, otherwise their gang leader would not have robbed a woman with someone. was deliberately designed to be killed.

There are also Baling Gang and Haisha Gang. Powerful gang forces like the Water Dragon Gang and the Giant Kun Gang.

The more I know about these gang forces, the more frightened I become, and I don't know how these gang forces have developed, all of them have a large amount of money, food and materials, and there are thousands of gang thugs, as long as they are trained a little, they are not the powerful armed forces that give the government a headache, and they can even divide the military organization of one side?

With the help of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, it only took a few days, or in his free time for socializing, Lin Sha made it clear the specific gang forces in Yangzhou and the backers behind them.

It is said that the Baling Gang is the largest organization in Baling County, with huge power, with 300 gambling halls and 200 green buildings in the country, rich in intelligence, and can eat both black and white. Of course, their reputation is extremely bad, who doesn't know that they are engaged in human trafficking, according to intelligence, and Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty has an inexplicable relationship.

Even, many palace maids around Emperor Sui who are as beautiful as flowers are all the handiwork of the Baling Gang!

Yes, needless to say, even if the backer of the Baling Gang is not Yang Guang, it is inseparable from the Yang royal family.

It's really shameful, the royal family and even the emperor have close ties with a notorious gang force, and I don't know if Yang Guang's brain was caught by the door, isn't this his own face?

And the big boss of the Baling Gang is Lu Kangshou, and the second leader is Xiao Miao, both of whom are first-class masters of Jiangnan martial arts!

Especially Xiao Miao, the character who will be the emperor in the future, and the famous villain Xiang Yushan in the book, and then think of the inexplicable relationship between the Xiang family and the Demon Gate, Lin Sha sneered again and again, it is really a close connection.

At the same time, he once again understood the fact that the gangs in this world are actually huge paramilitary political groups!

The other two famous gangs in the south, the Haisha Gang and the Water Dragon Gang, are both mainly engaged in the salt business, but the backer behind the Haisha Gang is Yuwen Valve, one of the four valves, and the backstage of the Water Dragon Gang is the Song Valve, a gang supported by two major gate valves, and supported by one of the best salt profits in the world, its power and wealth can be imagined.

"General Yuwen, your Yuwen Valve's hand is too long, you are so disregarding your cheekiness and so closely connected with a gang, sure enough, Yuwen Valve has fallen!"

The Great Shadow of the Song Valve is in Lingnan, and they don't have much influence in the imperial court, the key is that there are no important people of the Song Valve by his side at the moment, so Lin Sha sneered at Yu Wenhua and a burst of cynicism.

"What does this mean by the general of the expedition?"

Yu Wenhua is full of depression, but he really doesn't have the courage to blow up in front of Lin Sha, and his strength is not as good as others.

"What's going on with the Sand Gang?"

Lin Shajian raised his eyebrows, ignored Yu Wenhua and his dissatisfied face, and snorted coldly: "Willing to fall!" ”

"You ......"

Yu Wenhua was so angry that the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he glared at Lin Sha and said dissatisfiedly: "General Zhengbei, the purpose of our trip is the secret of longevity, and it has nothing to do with the gang forces in the southern region, right?" ”

"Does it matter, General Yuwen knows it in his heart!"

Lin Sha didn't save face for Yu Wenhua at all, and snorted coldly with an unhappy face: "I just hope that the Haisha Gang will not be in the hands of this general, otherwise this general will not mind leading troops to wipe them out!" ”

"I don't know what to say!"

Feeling the cold murderous aura on Lin Sha's body, Yu Wenhua and his heart trembled, but his face did not change, and he turned around and brushed his sleeves away after saying a cold word, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart, after going back, he must inform the guys of the Haisha Gang, and be honest not to bump into Lin Sha's killing god recently.

Regarding Lin Sha's terrifying strength and ruthless methods, Yu Wenhua didn't have any idea of trying at all.

In a border place like Youzhou, where all ethnic groups are mixed, the customs are so fierce that they are not like words, and it should be that there are many gangs and chaos.

But what about the facts?

Since Lin Sha took charge of the Youzhou Army, the local forces in Youzhou have been severely suppressed, whether it is the clan forces or the gang forces, they are all living trembling and cautious under the terrifying pressure of Lin Sha.

If anyone doesn't give face, Lin Sha can find an excuse for collaborating with the enemy or bandits, and he doesn't need to take action personally, and tens of thousands of Youzhou troops under his command will take the initiative to come to the door and directly kill a chicken and dog!

In the past few years, there are not a few gangs that have been destroyed in Youzhou, and the armed forces of some gangs are no worse than these rich and powerful gangs in the south.

But what was the result, he was suppressed by Lin Sha so much that it was difficult to even breathe!

After a good beating of Yu Wenhua, and admiring the ugly and depressed face of this guy, Lin Sha was in the mood to continue to explore the major gang forces in the southern region.

There is also a giant Kun gang in Jiangnan, the gang leader Yun Yuzhen, the deputy gang leader Bu Tianzhi and Chen Laomou, although Yun Yu's foundation is really very shallow, but really speaking, there is also one of the four major gate valves, Dugu Valve, secretly supports, and the Dugu Valve delivers a steady stream of huge money.

Hehe, the prosperity of the Jiangnan region is really greedy, this force is so complicated.

And specifically in Yangzhou City, what is surprising is that the number one gang force is actually the martial arts hall of Shi Long, the target of his trip!

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that Yangzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Linhuai and the river, with convenient transportation, military and economic status is becoming increasingly important. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, Yangzhou was the "Wangji", so it was the focus of the imperial court supervision, and it was difficult for the gang to sit on the throne.

Moreover, the martial arts halls and dojos in the city are actually another kind of gang forces, more than ten martial arts halls and dojos in the city have controlled the underground forces of the whole city, and the 'mountain pusher' Shi Long is known as the first master in Yangzhou, and he is a first-class peak master who has already stepped into the congenital, and there are many apprentices and the secret help of the government, so it is impossible to think of not being the boss of Yangzhou's underground world.

The more he learned about Shi Long's situation, the more jealous Lin Sha felt in his heart.

It's not that he's worried that Shilong has the power to resist, it's simply impossible.

What about the number one master in Yangzhou, but he is just a guy who has not yet reached the strength of the grandmaster, and it is easy for Lin Sha to kill him.

What gave Lin Sha a headache was precisely the problem of how to properly deal with the aftermath after solving Shilong.

As the boss and core of the Shilong Martial Arts Gym, if Shilong suddenly has an accident, needless to say that the martial arts hall and the underground forces under its control will be in chaos, and if the other gang forces in the city don't take advantage of the fire to rob, it will be strange if the underground world of Yangzhou City will fall into a bloody storm, which is not the result that Lin Sha is willing to see...... (To be continued.) )
