Chapter 11 Distribution of Forces
Ma Cheng is very talkative, and when he talks about the gangs in Storm City, his eyebrows are very colorful. Listening to Ma Cheng's ramblings. Wang Daming has a general understanding of the gang forces in Stormwind City.
Stormwind has four major gangs and five families, as well as a few other industry gangs and small gangs that rely on big gangs.
The gangs of Stormwind are not the Black Societies on Earth. Rather, they rely on the same martial arts or other core violent organizations. And because there is no dynasty government here, the martial arts gang also has substantive government functions.
The four major gangs in Stormwind City are: the Blue Dragon Gang, the White Tiger Gang, the Vermilion Bird Gang, and the Xuanwu Gang
The name is cheesy. Wang Daming is also familiar with it. Many TV series have a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right or something.
For the locals of Stormwind, these four names are derived from the four guardian beasts of ancient mythology. The four main streets of Stormwind are named after them.
The main exercises of the four major gangs are also famous, the Qinglong Wood Decision of the Green Dragon Gang, the White Tiger Gold Decision of the White Tiger Gang, the Vermilion Bird Fire Decision of the Vermilion Bird Gang, and the Xuanwu Water Decision of the Xuanwu Gang. Well, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, it sounds like there's a lack of earth.
The headquarters of the Qinglong Gang is in Qinglong Town, and it has jurisdiction over 10 large towns in the eastern part of the Storm Forest, including Qinglong Town, and has the largest sphere of influence.
The headquarters of the White Tiger Gang is in White Tiger Town, and it has jurisdiction over 8 large towns in the western part of the Storm Forest, ranking second in the sphere of influence.
The headquarters of the Suzaku Gang is in Suzaku Town, and it has jurisdiction over 7 large towns in the southern part of the Storm Forest. The sphere of influence is the third.
The headquarters of the Xuanwu Gang is in Xuanwu Town, and it has jurisdiction over 5 large towns in the northern part of the Storm Forest. The sphere of influence is the smallest. However, the population of Xuanwu Town has reached 500,000, which is equivalent to half of the Storm City, which is equivalent to three or four other ordinary towns.
Therefore, the four major gangs are slightly more prominent than the Qinglong Gang, and the others are not much different. The four major gangs mainly monopolized the production area of Xuelinghua and planted Xuelinghua as their main source of income. In addition, the income also includes the collection of taxes from the jurisdiction. But a small portion of the tax is to be paid to the Stormwind City Lord's Mansion.
The five major families in Stormwind City are the Li family, the Yang family, the Xu family, the Yu family, and the Ma family
The Li family monopolized the supply of rouge gouache, cloth and satin and printing and dyeing in Stormwind City and its subordinate towns, and the external trading house was called Qingmei Commercial Bank
The Yang family monopolized the high-end medicine refining and most of the ordinary medicine refining in Stormwind City and its subordinate towns, and the Xue Ling Dan made from Xue Linghua could only be refined by the Yang family, and the Yang family was the Fulong Commercial House that Wang Daming was familiar with.
The Xu family monopolized all the food supply in Stormwind City and its subordinate towns, and the external trading house was called Xingfeng Commercial Bank. This Wang Daming has only heard of the name until now, but thinking about being able to monopolize food, this family is definitely not easy to get along with. The people live on food.
The Yu family monopolized the supply of green buildings, restaurants, and drinks in Stormwind City and its subordinate towns. The people who are going to the city now are also from the Yu family. The foreign trading house is called Hongjiu Commercial Bank.
The Ma family monopolized the supply of real estate, building materials, and iron tools in Stormwind City and its subordinate towns. In the words of the earth, the Ma family is the largest real estate developer in Stormwind City. The external commercial bank is called Ying'an Commercial Bank.
Ma Cheng belongs to the side line of the Ma family, and the tooth line to which he belongs also belongs to the Ying'an Commercial Bank.
After hundreds of years of cultivation, the five major families have developed into tens of thousands of direct families, plus hired or bought subordinates who have gradually changed their surnames to join the family. So that each family has a scale of more than 100,000 people.
It is rumored that the ancestors of the five major families all have cultivated immortals, and the clan has the practice of cultivating immortals. It's just that it's been a long time, and until now, no one knows if there is such a thing. Anyway, right now, there is absolutely no one in the five major families who has crossed the threshold of cultivation. The most talked about in the clan is also who and who are how many steps away from the innate or something.
Wang Daming asked Ma Cheng, there is a woman named Li Ling in the Li family, do you know what status she has in the Li family?
Ma Cheng looked at him for a while before saying, "Li Ling is the second daughter of Li Chengdong, the head of the Li family, and is in charge of rouge gouache trading. She is very beautiful and can be said to be the most beautiful beauty in Stormwind City. Li Chengdong has four children, the eldest son, Li Jing, has a married family and is in charge of all cloth and printing and dyeing business. The second daughter is Li Ling, who has been in the middle of the word for ten years. Originally, a 20-year-old woman should have gotten married a long time ago, but I don't know what's going on, and I haven't heard who she is engaged to. The third daughter is 8 years old and is still a minor, and the youngest son was just born this year and is still drinking milk. ”
Wang Daming asked the Yu family again if there was a fat man, who was not very old, and described the appearance of the fat man.
Ma Cheng pondered and said: "The person you are talking about should be Yu Chenggong, the youngest son of Yu Wanli, the head of the Yu family." Yu Wanli has many wives and children, but there are only two sons, the eldest son is called Yu Shengli is responsible for all the wine business of Hongjiu Commercial Bank, and the younger son is called Yu Chenggong, who is responsible for all the green buildings, and he is also responsible for the trading of the human market. ”
Wang Daming remembered Yu Chenggong's name deeply.
After Ma Cheng finished talking about the four major gangs and the five major families, he began to introduce other famous miscellaneous gangs, which are different from the four major gangs, and the biggest difference is that the miscellaneous gangs do not have their own core martial arts exercises. Kung Fu is messy, and the saying of a ragtag gang comes from this.
The most famous of the miscellaneous gangs is the Medicine Gang, which is the largest number of people organized by all the medicine pickers in the Storm Forest, even more than the single four major gangs. It mainly uses medicine collection as a source of income.
Another of the more famous ones is the Che Gang, which, as the name suggests, is a gang with a core of chariot and horse behavior. There are also a lot of people, shuttling through major towns and villages. The source of income is the collection of carriage and horse fares. Now the carriage is the chariot. This gang is the equivalent of a logistics company on the planet.
In addition, there is a medical gang, which uses the opening of a medical clinic as a source of income. It is a collection of all hospitals, and the martial arts method is also based on treatment, which is not unified with each other, and each has its own unique skills.
The merchant gang, a gang of small merchants, bookstores, grocery stores, blacksmith shops, etc., all belong to the merchant gang. Most of the martial arts methods are not good at fighting, and they are mainly practical
The war gang, with the martial arts halls in various places as the collection of gangs, the opening of the martial arts hall to charge for the apprentices as the source of income, the war gang out of a variety of thugs to guard, the martial arts mental method is also disorganized, a martial arts hall may be a mental method. The mind is mostly known for fighting.
These miscellaneous gangs are very similar to the trade associations on the planet, and they usually run their own businesses except for paying membership dues to the general association. When encountering external forces, they will always come forward to resist.
Finally, there is the notorious beggar gang, the beggar gang is the general name of all small gangs, mostly led by scoundrels in the market, the number of gangs is numerous, and the number of people is also large. But there is generally no decent martial arts, and most of them don't even know martial arts like Wang Daming. The beggar gang is mainly to find out the news, provide all kinds of thugs, beg, eat and drink as a source of income. But in the eyes of other gangs, the beggars are not a gang at all.
On the carriage, Wang Daming chatted with Ma Chengdong and chatted about the West. Ma Cheng is also talkative, as a member of the Ma family, he has heard of some big things in Stormwind City.
Wang Daming finally had a clear understanding of Stormwind City and Stormwind Forest from a macro perspective. It's not like when I first came to Stormwind City, and I didn't dare to inquire more, for fear that I would accidentally show my feet.
