There are four major islands in Japan, from north to south: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu. The other small islands are basically negligible.

Hokkaido is the second largest island in Japan and the 21st largest island in the world, accounting for more than 22% of Japan's total land area. However, because this place is bitterly cold in the north and sparsely populated, it is one of Japan's major agricultural bases.

Honshu Province is the largest island in Japan and the seventh largest in the world, accounting for more than 60% of Japan's total land area. This is the most economically developed place in Japan, and the developed cities of Kyoto and Tokyo are concentrated on the island of Honshu.

Therefore, Black Dragon will use this place as a major development base.

Shikoku Island is the fourth largest island and the 49th largest island in the world, accounting for 5 percent of Japan's total area.

Finally, there is the island of Kyushu, the third largest island in Japan and the 36th in the world, accounting for just over 11 percent of Japan's total area.

The economy of Shikoku and Kyushu is second to Honshu but stronger than Hokkaido. Taken together, it accounts for about 16 percent of the area, which is slightly smaller than Hokkaido, but has a much larger population. Therefore, Xie Cunguan chose these two places where the Black Dragon Society's power was weaker and developed his own power, which could be regarded as the best choice.

At this moment, he had already arrived in Kochi Prefecture, the capital of Shikoku Island, with Guo Tayu and Zhu Xianghui. They were accompanied by a dozen advisors sent by the Tsuruta Shinkai from the Nagasaki Black Dragon Society, all of whom were in their fifties and were stable and reliable.

On the second day after coming to Kochi Prefecture, Zhu Xianghui took a few advisers and immediately went to the government to go through the formalities and establish the Shikoku Island Black Dragon Society Branch.

Because the underworld is legal in Japan and is treated as an association, it is necessary to file with the government and go through the formalities.

When Zhu Xianghui went to the government department to do business, Xie Cunguan and Guo Tayu were two people. But they inquired all the way and drove directly to a place where Chinese gathered in Kochi City, where they visited a Chinese underworld hall "Guangfu Dongsheng".

This underworld hall is a branch of Hongmen, and its strength is not very strong, but the advantage is that it has a long history in Kochi Prefecture. This is linked through the relationship between Yan Pei and the others.

In Japan's triad composed of Chinese, the fiercer is the Fuqing Gang in Fujian. and a gang from the Northeast known as the "Siberian Tigers". But these are all emerging gangs.

And what Xie Cunguan needs is an old gang, because what he needs is information and experience.

The entrance to the hall of "Gwangfuku Tomori" is in a small alley with relatively old buildings in Kochi City. The door face is not big, if it weren't for someone coming out to pick it up, Xie Cunguan and Guo Tayu wouldn't have thought that this was the entrance of the underworld. Because from the outside, it's like someone's home.

After entering the small courtyard, I found that there was a cave inside.

A long aisle flanked by high brick walls. The aisles are extremely narrow, a bit like the legendary first-line sky. And. Xie Cunguan noticed that on these walls, every two steps, there were some live bricks.

The so-called live bricks are specially made on the wall and can be pulled out. Normally, the plug can't be seen, but once something happens, after these bean bricks are removed, you can observe the situation in the aisle through the hole, and you can also attack the people in the aisle.

This is the construction method used in some villages without muskets in China in the past to guard against bandits.

Xie Cunguan didn't need to look at it, he knew that this wall was basically a wall of fifty centimeters or one meter thick. It is said that the soil inside the wall is soaked with rice milk, and even grenades cannot blow it up. The wall was built with a few corners, and after a few turns, it entered the courtyard.

In the courtyard, the owner has already greeted him, and the two men in black clothes and white shirts are majestic.

An old man in a robe with a melon skin hat on his head. made Xie Cunguan feel as if he had returned to the early years of the Republic of China for a while.

The old man bowed his hand and let them into the back room. Xie Cunguan knew that this was a branch of Hongmen, and he was worried about whether he would let Zi put a teacup like in the movie. Thankfully not. In fact, that's just something that is done inside Hongmen, for outsiders. The information conveyed by the way of placement is secret.

The old man's surname is Tang, and he is the deacon of "Guangfu Dongsheng". "Guangfu Dongsheng" is actually a change of the name of "Guangdong Fusheng", because throughout the Manchu Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years, Hongmen has been brutally suppressed, so their people like to do things mysteriously.

For the whole afternoon, Xie Cunguan had been talking with the old man, and he was carefully learning about the underworld situation on the entire Shikoku Island. And, write down the contacts provided to him by the old man on a piece of paper.

These are all messages from some of the particularly small Japanese yakuza on the island of Shikoku.

In Japan, the underworld is legal, so there are behemoths like the Yamaguchi-gumi, but there are also small interest groups with only ten or dozens of people, and there are small underworld associations. Xie Cunguan's initial plan was to turn his attention to these small associations and incorporate them in large numbers to form a large triad joint organization.

Because he organizes the underworld and doesn't need to get any benefits, he won't embezzle the interests of these small organizations.

And what he can bring to these small societies is to organize the young and strong people in these associations, conduct corresponding martial arts training, and establish a powerful armed group. Usually provide protection for these associations, and even organize them to unite to do some business that they did not dare to do before, and increase their income.

He believed that as long as the club boss was not confused, he would not oppose this idea.

But he also knows that the implementation of any idea has a price. His plan was very simple, that is, to take Guo Tayu to the door one by one, talk first, and resort to force if he couldn't talk.

When dinner was approaching, Xie Cunguan had already memorized in a notebook no less than 200 small Japanese underworld societies, distributed in the four prefectures of Kochi, Ehime, Kagawa, and Tokushima on the island of Shikoku. And in every place, the old man surnamed Tang will arrange for the local Hongmen disciples to lead the way.

The old man politely rejected Xie Cunguan's idea of inviting him to dinner, but at the last time, he asked about the situation in China, especially the changes in some small places in Guangdong. But Xie Cunguan didn't know very well, and in the end he had to say goodbye to the old man with a sad face with regret.

When he left that courtyard and walked into that sky-like passage again, he couldn't help but have a strong respect for the old man and the Hongmen disciples of "Guangfu Dongsheng". In that darkest and weakest era in China, these people were in Japan, relying on the most primitive way. Fight with Japanese gangsters and eventually put down roots.

They have left their wonderful lives here, but they have always cherished their homeland.

Chinese No matter how weak or strong you are, you can't let go of that piece of homeland in your heart, and you can't let go of that bloodline.

Back to the temporary information, Xie Cunguan circled the more than 200 gangsters. They are all looking for some people who are slightly more powerful in the local area and act fairly. Some influence of the gangsters. His plan was to visit these gangs first, and after ambushing them, some smaller gangs would let these people take care of them.

Before going to bed, he thought about this matter again, and then dialed a phone call and called a person named Kong Zhiqiu. Make an appointment for the next day's meeting place and time.

This person was the liaison sent to him by the old man surnamed Tang, and on the way to Shikoku Island, Kong Zhiqiu was responsible for contacting the Hongmen disciples in various places. Because Xie Cunguan was not from Hongmen, he couldn't contact those people.

The connection between the Hongmen disciples is very secret, and there are special gestures "three half-incense" and "tea array", so to contact the Hongmen disciples in various places, you must be accompanied by someone from the Hongmen.

The "Ninagawa Group" is an underworld organization in the eastern suburbs of Kochi City, with about 100 people in the entire organization, mainly a small community that is involved in construction projects. They have contacts with a number of local construction companies and are outside through connections. The contracted work hours are transferred to these construction companies.

However, the area they are responsible for is very small, after all, most of the construction work in Japan is currently in the hands of supergiants like the "Yamaguchi-gumi", and they can only receive some small jobs that show through the fingers of the "Yamaguchi-gumi".

In fact, the main area of activity of the Yamaguchi-gumi is not on the island of Shikoku, but even the small and powerful "Yamaguchi-gumi" branch group cannot be provoked by a small organization such as the "Ninagawa-gumi". After all. Behind the house is a big tree.

That's why Xie Cunguan chose the "Ninagawa Group" as the first breakthrough, and there is still a little bit of bad taste in it.

Because the name of the leader of the "Ninagawa Group" is too popular, it is called Ninagawa Shinyuemon. Sounds familiar. Anyway, Xie Cunguan sounds quite familiar. Although when he was young, this cartoon of "Hugh Hugh Brother" was no longer popular. But Xie Cunguan watched the classic cartoon episode by episode on the Internet.

Of course, the choice of "Ninagawa Group" as a breakthrough is not entirely due to bad taste.

The biggest reason is because of Ninagawa Shinyuemon!

This person is an authentic "samurai", why do you say that, it is because this person has been very martial arts since he was a child, and he especially advocates the spirit of bushido. His original name was Ninagawa Oriwa, but later because he wanted to be a samurai, and he was a famous samurai, he changed his name to the samurai he admired the most, Ninagawa Shinyuemon.

Ninagawa Shinyuemon first learned judo as a child, and later learned karate and aikido.

When he felt that the "Tao" he had learned was not ideal, he went to South Korea to learn taekwondo techniques again. But he still didn't find the feeling of martial arts, so he went to China to learn Chinese martial arts, and even received training in sanda.

Later, he went to Thailand to learn Muay Thai and Myanmar to learn Bin Dao.

But unfortunately, he still hasn't found the know-how to fight!

In the end, he finally met a famous figure in the history of Japanese kickboxing who retired here in his later years in Kochi Prefecture, and finally entered the door of martial arts and became a famous martial artist in Kochi City.

At present, the business source of the "Ninagawa Group" is also thanks to the kickboxing master. Because he has a lot of disciples in Kochi City, Shinyouemon relies on these connections to receive work.

Moreover, the leader of the "Ninagawa Group", who advocates the spirit of bushido, although his power is not big enough, he is quite famous among the local gangs, because he is more fair, his personal martial arts are strong, and he is upright. Many gangs will ask him to be a notary public for dispute resolution.

The most important point is that the entire "Ninagawa Group" is actually supported by Ninagawa Shinyuemon's personal force.

Therefore, Xie Cunguan was the first to choose him as the object of his visit.
