However, before the mediation began, a number of Chinese organizations, including Li Yaoyang's Dongxing, including the Anliang Chamber of Commerce, would face repression from the white world.

They finally couldn't sit still, and after trying a series of methods to no avail, they decided to counter violence with violence.

And the chess pieces they chose surprised Li Yaoyang, it turned out to be Irish!

When it comes to the Irish, Li Yaoyang hates it so much, since his debut, the Irish seem to be born to clash with him, and he has never left his own world from beginning to end.

It's like Xiao Qiang who can't be killed, driving away one after another, the toad is on the top of his feet, and he doesn't want people to respond to people.

But then again, the Irish have been in New York much longer than the Chinese, and theoretically they are the patriarchs of the New York underworld.

Violent crime in Manhattan's Five Points has never stopped, starting with the first Irish gangs in the early 1800s, continuing until now, and 100 years later, the notorious gangs have not stopped.

The reason why New York can make so much money in the Big Apple is inseparable from the intricate gang history of New York, and it can even be said that New York City is basically a sin city built on crime.

These include the famous 'Dead Rabbits', the 'Powell Boys', the 'Tanmuni Society', and Whyos, a gang left over from the end of the Civil War.

Of course, there is also the formation of Chinatown and the rise of the church, a complex history that has shaped the infamous underworld of New York.

It is worth mentioning that the origin of the Big Apple in New York is disputed, and it is confirmed that a columnist Fitzgerald used the title of the Big Apple to describe New York at that time when he wrote a horse race for the New York Morning News.

Since then, the title has spread, signifying his irreplaceable centrality.

Between 1790 and 1820, after the Ugly War of Independence, the population of New York City expanded from just over 30,000 to 120,000, a quarter of whom were Irish.

The most populous part of New York was in Lower Manhattan, where most people and new immigrants from Europe and elsewhere were confined to the slums.

The worst of these is a neighborhood called Five Points, where there is little clean water, no well-developed sewer system, and the city is full of filth, as well as germs and diseases that accompany every breath of the residents.

And in this living environment is also a tense law and order, where thieves, robbers, and killers are rampant and unmanaged.

This unsettling environment was accompanied by a self-defensive group of young people who initially operated as "guards" in the Five Point community.

It was only in the last ten or twenty years that these gangs slowly came together and became an obvious organization, and this organization is also known as the first known Hey Gang, the Forty Thieves. Eight Chinese Net

They used grocery stores and bars as strongholds to carry out criminal activities on a large scale.

In this gang of mostly Irish people, in addition to theft and smuggling, the most important thing these thieves do is to act as thugs for the parliamentarians, clear the way for them, and even slowly begin to use their connections with the parliamentarians to influence the election.

There is a lot of evidence that the initial political opinions were not raised in the town hall, but in private meetings between gangs and councillors, which of course came very later.

At a time when the thieves were just starting to flourish and did not have a specific organizational structure, they simply had a unified leader, Edward Coleman.

And this simple structure of one-man leadership has an obvious drawback, which is that once the leader is lost, then the whole team will simply break up.

This was the final outcome of the Forty Thieves, Edward Coleman, who was executed on suspicion of murdering his wife, and Edward Coleman was "lucky" to be the first person to be hanged in the newly built grave prison in New York.

After his death, most of the Forty Thieves began to split into other gangs, and the rest defected to the Dead Rabbits, also made up of Irishmen.

And these splinter teams also began to work in their own fields, and began to serve different splinter religions and parliamentarians.

As I have just said, many of the first decrees and opinions in New York were not even made from the City Hall, but were decided by the private meetings of these colluding gangs and legislators, as was the case in the 19th century.

In fact, this situation appeared much earlier than that, but at that time, there were no gangs.

All of this was controlled by a place called the Tammoni Society, which emerged in 1786 as a group of wealthy merchants of the Ugly Country.

It slowly became a group with lofty aspirations, and its original slogan was: to use democratic means to correct the correct aristocratic rule in the city.

They relied on their wealth and the background of some of the members to begin to control New York, reaching out their tentacles.

By about 1890, the organization began to grow rapidly, and the reason for their growth was precisely because the bands formed by the thieves slowly infiltrated Tammony.

Or maybe the Tammony Association took the initiative to recruit these gangs, which is debatable, and gradually they really became the control machine of New York, and these ugly Irish people began to slowly enter the system with their support.

By this time, the Big Apple had become an intricate mess of stews between different races and factions.

There is a dispute between new immigrants and native-born New Yorkers, i.e., early arrivals, over job opportunities.

The first people became anti-immigrant, and the later group began to huddle together and form a gang — the Powell boys.

Most of these xenophobic Powells are blue-collar workers, and they have begun to undermine new immigrants' access to jobs through a number of illegal means.

And apparently the dead rabbits, which were almost all immigrants of Irish origin, became their first enemy.

In 1855, Powell's leader was killed by a member of the Dead Rabbit Gang, and as he was dying, he expressed his hatred of the Irish:

"I feel like I'm going to die, I'm dying like a real ugly countryman, but I can't keep my eyes peeled for it, I was killed by a bunch of Irishmen."

Since then, the fighting between the two gangs has never stopped, and the struggle between the various gangs has also continued, and this attrition has led to the lack of each gang left.

In the end, the most powerful gang left is called Whyos, a group of thieves and murderers, and this gang is more violent and murderous than all the previous gangs.

They even gave a price list for their own betrayal of violence:

Beating: $2

Eye cannon: $4

Broken nose and chin: $10

Twist off the ear: $15

Broken arm or leg: $19

Shot in the thigh: $20

Stab: $25

Murder: $100 or more

Until 1890, when the Whyos gang appeared to drive them away, the Whyos gang was the ruler of New York.

But while they were still ruling New York, some of the most powerful gangs were beginning to take shape, including the rise of Chinatown.

The Whyos gang is one of the most notorious and violent of all the gangs that have emerged in New York.

And before this gang was forced back from the stage of history by other forces, many gangs had already made their mark, including the church in Chinatown.

The history of the rise of Chinatown is inseparable from one person, and that is Akon in Southern Guangdong, and before Akon's arrival, Five Points was the territory of the Irish.

The five-point district is known by many as a microcosm of New York society, a collection of the world's races.

People live in the dirty place of the Five Points District, struggling to shuttle between all kinds of thieves and robbers.

In 1858, Akon came to the Five Points District, and at first he only sold cigars for a living, three cents a cigar, and with this livelihood, Akon saved some money and opened a guest house in Mott Street, specializing in Chinese immigrants.

In fact, it's the apartment building on Mott Street, where 36 apartments are crammed into 2,000 square feet, and only the front and back rooms have windows to let in the sunlight.

In order to maximize the profits, the real estate developer did not build any pipelines, including water and gas pipelines.

In each small apartment, it is quite normal to squeeze a dozen people.

At that time, Akon opened a guest house here, specializing in receiving Chinese immigrants.

At that time, 80 percent of the people in New York lived in rented apartments, and many of the Chinese who came to New York began to follow Akon's example and sell cigars for a living.

Gradually, the Chinese began to monopolize the local cigar industry.

The year 1850 was the beginning of the gold rush in Chouguo, and a large number of Chinese farmers abandoned their families and businesses to come to Chouguo to pan for gold and build railways, and the Chinese were the fastest among all immigrants at that time to build railways.

Many people believe that Akon relied on this kind of rental to receive immigrants for a living, and began to accumulate his own capital, so as to slowly establish Chinatown around the hotel.

From less than a few dozen Chinese in New York in 1850, to thousands or tens of thousands later.

With the decline in superficial gold production and the intensification of job competition in San Francisco, the locals put all the economic pressure on the Chinese, and the Chinese Exclusion Act was born.

This act has made countless Chinese immigrants in the ugly country illegal immigrants, and even the wives of immigrants cannot come to them through immigration status.

The consequence of this anti-Chinese was that most Chinese were unable to get jobs and had to turn the finger on criminal activities, and this was how the congregation was formed.

The Chinese congregations began to slowly replace the Irish gangs as the most powerful force in New York, the ruler of Lower Manhattan.

But the Irish did not really leave or disappear ...

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
