"The Shandong Gang and the Henan Gang are finished~"
"There were more than two thousand people, all of them were killed by the army!"
In the slums next to Tianjin Xingang, the Ax Gang members hurriedly found Jiang Ax, the leader of the Ax Gang.
"What?"
"All dead?"
When Jiang Ax heard this, he immediately stood up and said in disbelief.
"They are all dead. I saw it with my own eyes. Those soldiers were so ruthless. They didn't even talk nonsense to you and just shot them. One-eyed dragon and Hunjianglong were beaten into pieces."
The men under him said anxiously: "What should we do?"
"The noise coming from above is true."
Jiang Ax's face changed, and he muttered to himself.
However, before he could react, he only heard the sound of neat and dense footsteps approaching from far away, and his subordinates hurriedly came to report.
"Gang leader, gang leader, the soldiers have surrounded us."
"Brothers, copy the guys, fight with them~"
When Jiang Ax heard this, he gritted his teeth and roared angrily.
However, before he could rush out, the Ax Gang's main forum was breached by the Ming army with a dense and powerful sound. A large number of Ming troops rushed in quickly and opened fire at the Ax Gang's people.
"Master, Master, I surrender~I surrender!"
Jiang threw the ax in his hand, raised his hand and walked out while shouting.
"Are you the leader of the Ax Gang?"
The leading officer took a portrait and compared it carefully, looked at Jiang Ax and asked.
"Yes, yes, I am Jiang Axe!"
Jiang Ax nodded repeatedly, and then whispered: "Master Jun, as long as you let me go, I will give you ten thousand taels of silver!"
"Your money can't buy your life from me!"
"take away!"
The other party said coldly.
Soon, Jiang Ax was tied up and put on leg irons and handcuffs, as were all the other Ax Gang members who surrendered.
Not only the Ax Gang, Beggar Gang, Red Gang and other gangs were also raided by the Ming army. Anyone who dared to resist without running away was killed on the spot. Those who surrendered were all handcuffed and legged.
copy.
Here in the slums, the Ming army had one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. People from various gangs were quickly escorted out because there were so many people in the gangs that they formed long queues.
Tianjin Xingang is moving quickly to arrest many gang members. On the other side, in other areas of Tianjin, there is also a Ming army operating.
Led by the factory guard Fanzi, these Ming troops seemed to have eyes and were very precise. They quickly arrested gang leaders and gang members everywhere.
The whole of Tianjin was plunged into panic because of this arrest operation, because it had been a long, long time since the Ming army had been seen operating in the city, and neither Jin Yiwei nor Dongchang Fanzi had been seen.
But soon, some Tianjin government officials and officials posted notices everywhere to tell the young and old in Tianjin what had happened.
“Fathers and fellow citizens of Tianjin, don’t be afraid~”
"This is the imperial court's campaign to crack down on gangsters and evil, specifically to crack down on those gangs that bully and dominate the market, crack down on those local ruffians, and bring peace to the people!"
"So don't be afraid, don't panic, and please actively cooperate and report gang members. Anyone who hides gang members will be treated as gang members and will be severely punished!"
At the same time, there were also government servants and officials holding tin trumpets and constantly loudly propaganda on the streets.
"It turned out to be a crackdown on gangs and gangsters~"
"Great~"
"The court should have taken better care of me a long time ago. These gangsters are really hateful. I am an old man selling steamed buns, and they actually want me to pay a hundred yuan in protection fees every month."
"Isn't that right? These gang members should have been severely punished a long time ago. The gambling houses they opened were simply killing people. Last time, Lao Li's son was deceived by them into gambling and then borrowing loan sharks. As a result,
A good family was destroyed like this."
"Well done!"
The people of Tianjin couldn't help but cheered when they reacted. These gangs bully the city, commit all kinds of evil, murder and arson, which have long made the people of Tianjin extremely tired.
Now the imperial court has struck hard, directly dispatching the Ming army, Dongchang and Jinyiwei to eliminate these gang forces, and also to make the common people settle the case and make peace.
On this day, the whole of Tianjin was not quiet. There were Ming troops, Dongchang fans, and Jinyiwei arresting gang members everywhere.
Beggar Gang, Ax Gang, Red Gang, Shandong Gang, Henan Gang, etc., gangs of all sizes, as well as ruffians running rampant on the streets, etc., were almost all caught.
There is no doubt about the power of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. When it comes to intelligence, they are the most professional, and no one can escape their eyes.
Coupled with the review of the arrested gang members, no one from these gangs can escape.
"Dang~dang~"
“Fathers and folks from Tianjin~”
"Tomorrow there will be a public trial of all gang members at Tianjin Xingang Pier!"
"Please come and have a look when you are free, and please actively report it!"
After the arrest, there was a public trial, and numerous police officers and officials continued to publicize the case in the streets and alleys of Tianjin.
To crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil is not only to get rid of the current gangsters and evil, but also to kill chickens and scare monkeys, so as to alert everyone and tell everyone the fate of the evil forces, and also to make everyone behave honestly.
A divided person.
Therefore, the public trial became very necessary. This is what Zhang Mao and Xiao Jing learned from Liu Jin after asking for instructions, which is to tell everyone not to play with any evil forces.
The next day, thousands of young and old Tianjin men crowded in at the spacious wharf of Tianjin Xingang early, waiting for the start of the public trial.
"Coming~coming~"
Soon it was time for the public trial. I don’t know who shouted, but everyone looked over and saw groups of Ming troops pressing thousands of gang members in a long queue towards Tianjin Xingang.
Come along.
Walking at the front were clearly the leaders of the Beggars Gang, the Ax Gang, the Red Gang, and other gangs. These people used to be local gangsters in Tianjin, and they were all very arrogant.
However, now, everyone is wearing thick shackles, handcuffs on their hands and feet, and they no longer have the slightest aura of heroism.
The public trial also invited many prominent people from Tianjin to watch, including heads of major commercial firms, owners of large factories, and gentry and celebrities from Tianjin, etc.
The public trial process is also very simple, and there are no overly complicated procedures.
"Jiang Axe, Wang Chang, Zhang Xian'ang, Zhang Xiaofeng and others organized the Axe Gang to monopolize Tianjin's timber business by violent means, killing people and setting fires. They committed all kinds of evil. Now this government has sentenced them to death and will be executed immediately!"
The Ax Gang members were brought up first, and Guo Zizhang directly announced their punishment.
"We are not convinced~ We are not convinced!"
When Jiang Axe and other leaders of the Axe Gang heard this, they all couldn't help but struggle and scream. Since ancient times, people have been sentenced to death only when all the evidence has been verified. But now, they are sentenced to death without any trial at all. This
Of course I was dissatisfied.
"Stay there and kill!"
However, Guo Zizhang was not moved at all, because this was the order from the imperial court. This time to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil, we need to be strict and fierce. It will not work without using strong medicine. There are too many of these evil forces.
Already.
"I don't accept it~ We don't accept it!"
When Jiang Axe and others heard this, their expressions suddenly changed. Looking at the Ming army coming over, they all struggled hard and roared angrily.
But no matter how they roared, it was of no use. The Ming army directly pressed them to the guillotine next to them, where dozens of executioners in red were waiting.
As the people pressed forward, the executioner took a sip of wine and sprayed it on the tiger-head knife. Jiang Ax and others were even scared to the point of peeing, as if they were little ghosts seeing the King of Hell.
"cut!"
Following the order, a cold light flashed, heads fell to the ground one by one, and all the leaders of the once incredible Ax Gang were beheaded.
"Okay~"
Among the people watching, I don't know who shouted something, and suddenly the people around him started shouting. At first, everyone didn't dare to shout, for fear that these gang members might still survive and they would ask for it again.
own life.
Now it seems that the court is really playing it. It doesn't even need to be tried. It directly tells the other party's crime and beheads it on the spot. This makes the people of Tianjin who are oppressed by these gangs fiercely vent their anger and start fighting.
Make friends.
"The beggar gang Zhang Mingliang, Cao Zhan, Deng Quan and others organized gang forces to control the disabled, abducted women and children, and used cruel methods to gain sympathy and beg for disabled children. The methods are extremely bad and cruel. Now this government sentences you to death.
Execute immediately!”
Soon, it was the turn of the Beggar Clan. Even though these Beggar Clan members seemed very pitiful, each one of them was also a vicious person who specialized in abducting children, mutilating them, breaking their hands and feet, etc.
And then letting these children come out to beg is not like what Jin Yong said in the hero, they are all just people.
"Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me~"
When the leader of the beggar gang heard this, he immediately started wailing.
"Spare your life?"
"How have you ever let go of the children you kidnapped and trafficked?"
Guo Zizhang sneered.
"cut!"
Following the order, the executioner dropped his tiger-headed knife, and heads fell to the ground one by one.
Group after group of gang members were brought in and all were sentenced to be beheaded. There was no excuse at all, and there was no intention of being lenient.
In less than an hour, a mountain of corpses had already piled up next to the guillotine, and the blood stained the sea water next to it red.
Soon another four-wheeled carriage came over to transport the corpses, while the public trial continued. Gang members, local gangsters, etc., were sent to the guillotine one after another.
"Good kill~"
"The Son of Heaven and the Holy Ming!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
When the people watching around saw this scene, many of them were frightened, but soon they couldn't help but cheered. The bad breath in their hearts suddenly disappeared, and the dark clouds hanging over everyone's heads dissipated completely.
The imperial court actually used thunderous means to wipe out these evil forces and bring peace to everyone.
