Chapter 302: Liangjing Thirteen Divisions

Lone Wolf said: "Yes, according to some of the contents in it, relevant experts believe that it is really very likely that the ancient book was written by one of the leaders of their short clothing society himself." ”

The little Taoist priest said: "Then what else does he tell in the book, won't he just briefly tell about the predecessor and origin of their short clothing club." Is this short-coat society just a simple local secret society, or is it like other big gang organizations, with power all over the country? ”

Lone Wolf said: "This short-clothes society is really not simple, their organization is very tight, and it is not a small local group, but an underground association organization with an unprecedentedly large structure. It is said that in their heyday, their power was almost equal to that of Hongmen, and they had their own helm halls all over the country. ”

The little Taoist priest said: "Then what is the situation of their organizational composition, and is it roughly the same as the Hongmen organization at that time?"

Lone wolf said: "It's not, their short clothes club is not only more secretive than the Hongmen organization at that time, but their actual organizational composition is also completely different, and even their own people within them don't know their organizational composition at all." ”

Doll said: "This is a bit interesting, why don't even their own people know their own organizational composition, what is the situation, you can quickly explain to us, their specific organizational composition." ”

Lone Wolf said: "According to the clear record in that ancient book, the organizational composition of this short clothing society is roughly similar to other gangs at that time, on the surface, it is composed of the general rudder and the local rudder, but their specific functions are completely different. Normally, most of the other gangs are in the traditional pyramid model, and the general and specific affairs are handled by the rudders in various places according to the meaning of the general rudder, and then summarized and reported. The general rudder is only in charge of the overall coordination and arrangement, unless it is in some particularly important matters will be personally inquired, usually will never interfere too much in the specific matters of the following rudders. ”

After a slight pause, the lone wolf continued to say: "However, this is not the case with the Short Clothes Society, all their specific matters, no matter how big or small, are all handled by the chief helmsman himself. The following rudders are only responsible for weekday inspections and combing and reporting, and do not have the slightest right to dispose of them, which is also a major feature of their short clothes club. ”

The doll said: "No, in this way, their chief helm and that Netherworld Ghost King are going to be tired to death, I really don't understand what kind of strange ghost logic they have." It's unbelievable how many people they have on their staff. How their rudders were constituted, is there a clear record on it?"

The lone wolf said: "This one is really there, their general rudder is composed of the inner hall and the outer three halls. The inner hall, also known as the Heavenly Punishment Hall, is similar to the torture hall of other gangs, and is mainly responsible for the internal discipline of the entire community. It's just that their Heavenly Punishment Hall has greater power, in addition to being responsible for the life, death and death within the entire community, they are also in charge of more important money and internal security, and they are the most elite core force of the entire community. They are directly responsible to the supreme leader, the Nether Demon King, and their power is above that of the other halls. The outer three halls are the Heavenly Killing Hall, the Heavenly Machine Hall, and the Heavenly Poison Hall. The Heavenly Killing Hall is mainly responsible for planning and executing various specific actions, similar to the actual execution department now. Tianjitang is mainly responsible for summarizing and processing, and all kinds of information reported by the rudder in various places are similar to the current intelligence and information department. The Heavenly Poison Hall is mainly responsible for the development and manufacture of various special weapons and secret medicines, similar to the current special research and development department. ”

The doll said, "This is really troublesome. ”

Lone Wolf said: "All the members of their helm are uniformly dressed in black cloth and are called black

The ghost in the clothes is also called the dead man in black. In addition, the hall master of the Heavenly Punishment Hall is also called the sect master, and his power is second only to the Netherworld Ghost King, and sometimes it is also led by the Netherworld Ghost King; the hall master of the Heavenly Killing Hall is called the Holy Maiden, and her status is slightly lower than that of the sect master; the hall masters of the Heavenly Machine Hall and the Heavenly Poison Hall are called the left and right protectors, and they are equal to each other, and their status is slightly lower than that of the Holy Maiden. ”

The little Taoist priest said: "In this way, their Heavenly Killing Hall Master should have always been a woman, which is a bit unusual." ”

Lone Wolf said: "I don't really understand this, maybe at the beginning of their establishment, there was indeed a woman who served as the hall master of the Heavenly Killing Hall, and she was called a saint at that time, so it continued to be continued later." In other words, although the later Heavenly Killing Hall Master was also called a saint as usual, it didn't necessarily have to be a woman. ”

The little Taoist priest said: "So their chief rudder is really quite formal, and there are one set, but it's quite like that." So what do the rudders below them do, and how are they divided, by geography or by some other rule?"

Lone Wolf said: "I have just said that their local rudder is mainly responsible for patrolling and sorting out on weekdays, and accurately reporting all kinds of information from various places to Tianji Hall in the first time. As for their rudder division, it is strictly divided according to geography. Specifically, in accordance with the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty's two capitals and thirteen divisions, they divided the country into fifteen rudders, each of which had an altar master, who was responsible for the relevant matters of the region. Their men generally wear ordinary gray cloth clothes, and are called gray-clothed ghost pawns, also known as gray-clothed soldiers. ”

The little Taoist priest said: "What is the Thirteen Divisions of the Two Capitals, this is the first time I have heard it. ”

Jing Xin said: "The two capitals and thirteen divisions were the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty, and they were the provincial-level administrative institutions and divisions of the directly governed regions at that time. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, the provinces of the Yuan Dynasty were changed to the political envoys of the Cheng Xuan Dynasty, and the political envoys were only in charge of civil affairs. Although the duties of the Ming political envoy were different from those of the provinces of the Yuan Dynasty, there was no essential difference in the division of administrative regions, so it was customary to call the political envoys a province. At that time, in addition to Beijing and Nanjing, there were Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Huguang, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou thirteen political envoys, Beijing is also known as North Zhili, Nanjing is also known as South Zhili, this is the Ming Dynasty so-called two Beijing (Zhili) thirteen divisions, commonly known as fifteen provinces, is the administrative division of the Ming Dynasty directly under the central government. ”

The doll said: "Then where is their helm, it won't be in Nanjing and Beijing." ”

Lone Wolf said: "Although their short clothes society has set up its own rudder in each province, the location of their general rudder is very mysterious, and it can even be said that it is not settled in a fixed place, and there is no fixed location at all. ”

The doll said: "What is the situation, how can it be like that, I have never heard of this situation, so how do their rudders report their daily work to the chief rudder." ”

Lone wolf said: "I don't know the specifics of this, it was only mentioned in that ancient book that the relevant affairs of their rudder divisions in various places were specially collected and conveyed by the envoys and bearers of Tianji Hall. The rudder divisions are not directly reported, or even have direct contact with the main rudder at all. However, their general rudder moves randomly, and when they arrive, they temporarily use the local sub-rudder as the general rudder to deal with various important matters temporarily. As for all the horses in the inner hall and the outer three halls of the main rudder, they also move with the main rudder at any time. Therefore, for a long time, no one knows the specific location of their general rudder, today it may still be in the coastal area of Liaodong, and tomorrow it may be pulled out to the deep mountains of Guizhou, which is exactly that

One of the great mysteries of their Short Clothes Society. It is precisely because of this that they were once known as the world's first secret organization at that time. ”

The little Taoist priest said: "Then what is the nature of their short clothes club, and like other Hongmen, Qinggang, and Elders' Association, do they all belong to a gang organization in a certain sense?"

Lone Wolf said: "According to the introduction in that ancient book, at least before the early years of the Republic of China, their short clothes society was not like this, but more like a secret society with strong religious colors. They just take the Mohists' 'Heavenly Will' and 'Ming Ghosts' as the supreme law, and act completely according to their own standards, and their methods of acting are relatively extreme, often resorting to assassination and kidnapping, in order to maximize their so-called 'Respect for Heavenly Will' and 'Ming Ghosts and Gods'. They must assassinate those who they consider to be the most traitorous and evil to take their lives, and those who are rich and unkind must kidnap them for their ill-gotten gains. Moreover, the targets of their supervision are very extensive, from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people. However, in the early years of the Republic of China, according to other sources of information, their short clothing society began to transform step by step into an anarchist secret organization. Some people even think that the generation of assassins in the early years of the Republic of China, Wang Yaqiao, is very likely to be a member of their short clothes club, because their behavioral standards and styles are extremely similar. In addition, in recent years, there has been relevant evidence to prove that the current Short Clothes Society has almost degenerated into an out-and-out underworld organization, and has even evolved into a cult terrorist organization with great harm. ”

The little Taoist priest said: "But in recent years, I don't seem to have heard any movement from them, and even said that until today, if it weren't for such a long explanation from Brother Wolf, we wouldn't have known that there was such a short clothing club." Tell us about their situation now, how they exist, who are members of their organization, and how they are identified. ”

Lone Wolf said: "According to some evidence in recent years, the current Short Clothes Society has long since lost such a huge scale as before, and the rudder of the original rudder across the country should have long ceased to exist." However, their basic organizational structure seems to be still sound, especially their four major branches of Heavenly Punishment, Heavenly Killing, Heavenly Machine, and Heavenly Poison should still exist, which has been surprising in some extremely special criminal cases in recent years. At present, most of the members of their organization should be hidden, and the lowest level of the people in various places are only temporarily awakened and activated when there is a task. As for how their members of the organization are identified, there is only one clue to the peculiar invisible tattoo pattern. It is said that only those black-clothed dead soldiers directly under their important Tianzi Sitang still have this peculiar tattoo on the upper end of their arms, and they are used to distinguish and identify them with the words 'punishment, killing, machine, and poison' on them. As for the rest of the ordinary gray clothes, they are no longer tattooed with these strange patterns. ”

After a slight pause, the lone wolf continued: "Moreover, these tattoo patterns of theirs are generally very cleverly hidden, and they are extremely subtle. It is said that the tattoo pattern is only visible after drinking a special medicinal liquor. In normal times, it is almost impossible to see at all, it is just a very faint trace, and if it is not deliberately carefully identified, ordinary people will not be able to identify it at all. Today, our meditation has such an eyesight, not to mention others, even if it was me at that time, I am afraid it would be difficult to recognize it at a glance. ”

The little Taoist priest said: "That's nature, our young master Nangong has practiced the Shadowless Divine Needle in the dark night since he was a child, and that eyesight is of course difficult for others to match." ”
