Chapter 724 The Navy’s Deterrence Against the Champa Gang
As the earliest gang to be established in Champa Port, the Cao Gang is among the many gangs. The Cao Gang is naturally the most influential in the name of the leader of the Cao Gang, Long Dong Qiang. Everyone in Champa City knows him as "Brother Qiang."
"Brother Qiang."
"Brother Qiang."
Long Dongqiang walked slowly into his restaurant. Everyone around him was respectful and saluted. This feeling made Long Dongqiang very satisfied. Judging from his appearance, Long Dongqiang had straight features and a smile. He didn't look like a gang boss at all. He was only a familiar person.
You know, Long Dongqiang has a kind face but a cruel heart.
The end of the month is the day when the accounts are inspected in the middle of winter.
There are tens of thousands of Caobang members, and they all have to support their families. Accounts are naturally a top priority. As they walked up to the third floor, a man hurriedly came up to them.
"Brother."
The brothers of Dahu, some tall, thin and gloomy man, are the second brothers of Longdong Qiang. "Second brother, I am really wronged to ask you, a scholar, to follow me to this overseas place."
Every time he sees his second brother, Long Dongqiang feels a little guilty.
In the middle of winter, Chai Bai, the commander of the Zhenhai Guards, was forced to become his adoptive father, and he was able to assume the position of leader of the Cao Gang. Although he was actually no different from a puppet, at least he was still famous in public.
The second brother Long Chunsheng is eight years younger and has been smart since he was a child.
Long Dongqiang, whose parents died young, has been supporting his second brother Long Chunsheng in studying. Long Chunsheng did not disappoint his eldest brother. At the age of twenty-four, he finally achieved the title of scholar. Listening to his younger brother's words, Lu Gangqi shook his head and said: "
I must be worried about it. Now that there are seven years of compulsory education in Xiaoming, there are fewer and fewer students from all over the country. The reputation of scholars may still be wrong in the future. As time goes by, there will naturally be fewer and fewer."
"With fewer people, the reputation of a scholar is worth more. If you don't know yourself, it will be difficult to pass the exam. It may take half a lifetime of energy. Even if you reach the age where you know your destiny, you will definitely be able to get it.
."
"Besides, you heard from your former classmates that the imperial court has no intention of lowering the age of students. After eighty-seven, students have to be promoted to civil servants, and they can also retreat into official careers. Now I follow my brother to Hongwu, but it is more difficult than staying up all night.
Reading becomes less interesting.
Long Dongwei sighed: "Seventh brother, why should we belittle ourselves? We were supposed to honor our ancestors, but now we are reduced to a fourth-rate person like my brother. How can we compare with that?"
Guan Xianghai wanted to talk about that with my little brother. I didn’t have any ideas of my own. “Brother, the gang at the pier came to report yesterday that no angels came to the court.” Lu Gangqi changed the topic and said, that is also something I am very concerned about.
.
Longdong frowned weakly and said: "If the angel comes, I think his relationship with your Cao Gang is small."
Guan Xianghai shook his head: "The port governor is the biological father of Na Fei in Champa. Now that the port is stable, Na Fei will definitely intercede in Champa."
"You haven't ordered anyone to inquire about it yet. The eunuch who came is none other than one from Champaign."
"What you are worried about is that the imperial court must want to take action against the current situation in Hongwu, which would be bad news for you."
Long Dongwei said: "Seventh brother's words are exaggerated. Hongwu belongs to Xiao Ming. No matter how chaotic it is, it may provoke the imperial court to suppress it. There have been such chaos, but the imperial court has taken care of it. Now it has stabilized.
, the imperial court may even take control of it."
I hope so." Guan Xianghai is just a personal guess. There is no specific information now, so he can only take it one step at a time.
Lu Gangqi is basically in charge of the gang's accounts. When Xiao Ming was the puppet leader of the gang, the gang's accounts were also related to me. Zhenhaiwei sent people to take care of them. I have also read about them.
What book? The so-called monthly audit is actually not just a formality. If you really need to check the accounts, you will feel like you are "reporting!"
While the seven brothers were chatting, a group of people rushed down to the eighth floor slowly and hurriedly. "What's the matter? Did you tell me that no one can disturb you when you check the accounts?" Long Dongwei frowned and scolded.
The gang immediately replied: "Brother Wei, the Navy has sent someone to send a message, asking Brother Wei to attend the meeting at the Navy's small camp at noon tomorrow."
"What?" Long Dong's weak expression changed, and then he recovered.
"Thank you for your hard work, he goes up first."
"It's a weak brother."
After the people left, Longdong Ruuna said without any worries: "I'm afraid the one who came here is kind. My seventh brother's idea is probably wrong. There is really no chance that the imperial court will get involved in the Hongwu gang.
"Then we arrived yesterday, are you going to have your Cao Gang operated on today?"
"I'm afraid it's the Hongmen Banquet."
Guan Xianghai looked a little proud, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Brother, don't wait, I just want to know the news for the time being, so I want to make some inquiries to see if other members of my gang have also been invited by the Navy."
Long Dong Rui immediately summoned his gang to find out the news.
The name means that all the gang leaders have been summoned, so the situation is naturally the same. Obviously, maybe the Cao Gang has a very famous name in Hongwu, but in Long Chunsheng's view, those so-called gangs are just a bunch of local chickens and dogs.
, just a mob.
The Hongwu government has nothing to do with us, but that doesn't mean that Lu Gangqi has nothing to fear. It's completely on the same level.
Which of these gangs who have had a hand in the port must pay tribute to the Navy honestly in order to repay the safety of the Navy barracks at this moment.
Long Chunsheng smiled and said to Jin Kaishan: "My father-in-law, please worry, you haven't sent out a notice to the smaller gangs in Lu Gang, asking our gang leaders to come to the military camp at noon tomorrow."
"When the time comes, the bad boy will take a look at the gang leaders. If there are no more interesting ones, they can also do some things for the father-in-law. Jin Kaishan nodded slightly: "Excuse me, Commander Jin."
Long Chunsheng immediately said: "It's trouble, it's trouble. It's your duty to serve the city."
"I just want to know when the steward of the Chamber of Commerce will come, and I would like to ask my father-in-law to introduce him to me."
From Jin Kaishan, Long Chunsheng learned about Xiaoming's Ocean Trading Chamber of Commerce. Lu Gangqi had not heard of that chamber of commerce for a long time, but there were very few similar chambers of commerce, such as Xiaoming's, Hongwu's, and Wan Guoshao's. Therefore, he never paid attention to it now.
Knowing that the Ocean Trade Chamber of Commerce is in front of Champa, it is natural that the navy fleet heading to Mabali in the next few days will stop at the port to replenish the navy's family's wedding banquet, and Long Chunsheng will not be willing to do this.
I got some information and learned that Champa personally arrived in Guangzhou.
Judging from the meaning revealed in Jin Kaishan's words, how could he understand that Champa attaches great importance to the Xiaoming Ocean Trading Chamber of Commerce? If I had known that the Ocean Trading Chamber of Commerce had such a small background, I would definitely spare no effort to help.
According to the rules of Xiao Ming's army, under abnormal circumstances, whether the commander's duty station can be re-elected after seven-year retirement rotation depends on the intention of the boss. Unless designated by His Majesty or Champa personally, re-election must exceed eight terms.
It's not seventeen years either.
They all knew that it was just a pretense to stay outside Lugang Port because of the loss of ten pings. Now it is justifiable that the navy commander is stationed outside. It is a small and fat vacancy. Long Chunsheng has not heard what Gan Ping said.
, I know within the navy that many commanders are envious of me and are trying their best to arrive at the Hongwu port on a seven-year rotation schedule. Long Chunsheng is Taisun's seventy-fourth year of Hongwu. According to the rules, in Taisun
In 1987, we will face the issue of changing the leadership.
Now the name is Taisun's eighty-seventh year, and there are still two years left. You need to know whether it is a navy or other guard station. Basically, it is far away from the bustling city and Hongwu. The port is not the entire
The most prosperous place in Hongwu is far inferior to the capital city of Xiaoming. However, the capital city is the only one in the world with 70% to 40% lower counties, which is comparable to the port of Hongwu.
The most important thing is that there is plenty of oil and water out there, and being in the sea will still violate Xiao Ming's laws. What I envy the most is that I must have made contributions in those seven years and received general respect. Then when the time comes for the change of leadership, Long Chunsheng will be the best.
Leaving is obviously very unlikely.
In terms of relationship background, there were simply too few people outside the navy, so the worst opportunity for Long Chunsheng was not to assist Jin Kaishan and make things worse in the occupation of the city, but to do it beautifully and to Lu Gang's satisfaction.
Only in this way can I continue to stay there. Jin Kaishan is very satisfied with Long Chunsheng. I feel insulted there, so I am willing to reveal some information to Long Chunsheng.
"He will come over in the evening. He will have to give him a good reception then. Don't be lazy. "Hongwu's manager is a big shot. Does he think he is some kind of businessman?"
"From now on, I will be the Chief Envoy of the Provincial Government of Guangdong, Si You."
"I committed some crimes and occupied the city to cherish my talents, so I arranged to be the steward of the Hongwu Chamber of Commerce.
Long Chunsheng exclaimed: "Guan Xiaoren!"
Xiaoming's naval establishment was also a garrison system, which originated from the Chaohu Navy.
Nowadays, the navy is developing rapidly with the support of Champa. The most famous eight small naval forces that have established naval guards along the coast are the Guangdong Navy, Fujian Navy, and Zhejiang Navy. Naturally, these coastal naval forces train
It extends from the Chaohu Navy. As one of the first generals of the Chaohu Navy, Long Chunsheng naturally had to go to various places to train for my position as commander. Therefore, he spent a lot of time in Guangdong. Of course he knew Lu Gangqi.
Although the political envoy Si You of Guangdong Province has separated military and political affairs and the army has not yet been controlled by local officials, he is still a place to deal with. Jin Kaishan smiled and said: "As long as he knows him, it's okay. But I haven't changed my name yet."
My name is Guan Zhongming, so he must remember it."
Long Chunsheng nodded without embarrassment.
I know Guanxiaoren, but Guanxiaoren knows me. This is a small minister in the border area. The difference between navy and guard is small. The military system is mainly divided into capital, guard and Qianhusuo. When Long Chunsheng was in Guangdong, it was the commander of the guard.
The only person who could deal with Li Youwei was the Commander-in-Chief of the Guangdong Navy. Although Si Caixing, the Commander-in-Chief of the Guangdong Navy, might look like he was just one level behind, in reality the difference in status was huge.
Those who can hold the position of commander-in-chief, especially marquis and earls, are those who have made contributions to the founding of the country.
The reason why Long Chunsheng can serve as the commander of the navy is entirely because of the current expansion of the navy. The gold content outside is completely the same as that time, and there were no soldiers to report.
He said that there was no official from the Xiaoming Ocean Trading Association in the military camp who wanted to see him. "I haven't invited him at all." Long Chunsheng quickly said that Li Youwei in the military camp had a fierce look on his face, but in fact he was not relieved at all.
The name of Hongwu has been developing for several months, but it has not even built a stronghold. In a certain way, things are profitable.
In fact, you can only blame me. When I brought my people here, there happened to be a small fight between Hongwu gangs.
Although there are hundreds of guards outside the Chamber of Commerce and no firecrackers, the Chamber of Commerce is here to do business, but the land grab is so chaotic, Lu Gangqi has no skills and can only wait for the gang war over there to start and then go to the gang.
The detailed division of the territory is vague.
But that also brought a lot of trouble to Li Youwei. The Xiaoming Ocean Trading Chamber of Commerce was able to act under the banner of occupying the city. Naturally, there were people who would give him face. If he wanted to do business, he had to pay protection fees to the gang.
The merchants affiliated with Zhancheng paid protection fees to Lu Gang's gang. If word spread, would they laugh it off?
With no choice, Li Youwei could only report Hongwu's affairs to Champa before Jin Kaishan's arrival.
"Little Mr. Jin didn't invite you, please leave." The soldier on duty informed.
Li Youwei cupped his hands and thanked him. As the soldiers walked into the barracks, I am just a businessman, so I will naturally receive young courtesy. Long Chunsheng, it is also suitable for Jin Kaishan to come out specially to receive him.
Before retreating from the small tent, Long Chunsheng quickly stood up to greet him: "I haven't missed you from far away, please forgive me Mr. Guan.
Li Youwei hurriedly returned the gift: "Now that Guan is a merchant, he should be rewarded with gold. The commander will call him a villain and just call him in charge."
Then he went to Jin Kaishan to greet him: "I have met Eunuch Li,"
As the eunuch of Kunning Palace, Jin Kaishan naturally had to be so polite. He stood up from his position and offered his hand to Lu Gangqi, saying: "Guan Guan is polite,"
Long Chunsheng dared to be lazy. Looking at the small tent, he had the lowest rank and status. In fact, Jin Kaishan was an eunuch close to Champa City, and although Lu Gangqi lost his official position, he was still a direct subordinate of Champa City. Who am I?
Before they sat down, the eight people started to chat. The main thing was that Lu Gangqi talked about some of the difficulties he encountered in Hongwu, especially for the gang. Long Chunsheng immediately said that he would fully assist, and asked Guan Guanshi to worry about Xiaojia.
Together, we completed the instructions given by Lu Gangqi. The conversation outside the naval camp was very pleasant, and in the Hongwu gang, it could be said that it set off a happy wave. However, Xiao Gangqi's notice was only passed to the Cao Gang, but to ten people including the Cao Gang.
Several small gangs.
Among the small gangs, the largest gang size is less than 7,000 people. The gang leaders are all Xiao Ming. Gangs not under Xiao Ming have not received the order.
Facing the Navy Commander's order, all gang leaders felt their scalps go numb and were in a dilemma. Everyone knew what Navy Commander Xiao Ming meant outside, but everyone agreed that it must be something bad done by him.
It was already under control when it was the most chaotic. Why is it under control now? So many helping eyes are on the Eight Little Gangs, which are also the eight weakest gangs in Xiao Ming.
Among them, Caobang is naturally one of them, and then there is Bahetang. The main business of Qingbang and Caobang is naturally the port of the old bank. For example, the porters under the port terminal are all members of Caobang. Joining Caobang means that you can
Moving cargo under the dock.
No matter which country the maritime merchants are from, if they want to do business in Hongwu, they have to pay a protection fee.
Otherwise, if someone is transporting the goods, there is room for explanation if the goods are smashed.
There are almost no casinos opened by Bahetang in places where Bahetang's main casino road has just become more prosperous. The huge profits outside need to be said about the Qinggang. It is not the Qinggang of the Hongwu Qinggang in the previous life, but the Qingqinggang of the brothel.
In addition to running the brothel business, it is also the smallest gang in Hongwu for human trafficking.
