Chapter 263 The Eight Major Gangs
In the past four years, hundreds of millions of taels of money have been cultivated, and the Ming court spared no effort in supporting them.
The factory guards, especially the Jin Yiwei, are already a real behemoth.
Their real strength has never been the high-level combat power of Jinyiwei.
Three great masters are far from worth the hundreds of millions of taels spent.
Jin Yiwei's behemoth, its true strength is now reflected in two points.
The first is intelligence capabilities. No one in the world knows how many spies Jinyiwei has now.
That’s right, even Zhu Houzhao and Guo Bujing don’t know about it anymore.
Because an ordinary Jin Yiwei may have developed a few eyeliners at random. Such eyeliners may not be used for a lifetime. They are just random and will naturally not be reported or officially recorded.
This is the horror of the fed Jin Yiwei growing wildly on the vast platform.
The lowest level Jin Yiwei all want to make progress and make meritorious deeds.
As a result, no one knows how many spies Jinyiwei has.
Only a few people can feel the pervasive terror.
Maybe an ordinary man, an ordinary farmer, a beggar on the roadside, or even a child, are all spies of Jin Yiwei.
The tentacles penetrate into almost every corner of the Ming Dynasty.
Sometimes, Guo Bujing and other core members of Jinyiwei feel scared.
I am afraid that Jin Yiwei is too powerful.
If Zhu Houzhao had not always trusted and supported them, Guo Bujing would have taken the initiative to split the intelligence capabilities of part of Jinyiwei.
The second point is the strength of Jin Yiwei itself.
Not the upper level, but the middle and lower levels.
In the past four years, they have not been able to cultivate a large number of innate talents, but the countless resources are enough to raise the strength of the middle and lower levels of Jinyiwei to a level that is terrifying in front of any martial arts force.
Only the current Ming Dynasty court can cultivate tens of thousands of acquired masters of the upper and middle levels.
Don’t even think about it for other forces.
Resources worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver are no joke.
Even in the Xiantian realm with medium and high combat power, there are more than 80 Jin Yiwei.
Think about the thousand-year-old ancient temple of Shaolin. One of the two great leaders of the Right Way has only more than thirty people, and Wudang has even fewer.
You can understand what a terrifying number the innate realm of more than eighty people is.
In just a few years, once the imperial court exerted its strength, it easily surpassed all martial arts forces.
This is the power and terror of a country’s court.
No matter whether the country’s court controls all the power in the country or not, it has great righteousness and a platform that can accommodate all identities, positions, etc.
It is really not difficult to increase the innate realm.
Of course, this must be a prosperous and increasingly powerful court.
It is precisely because of these two strengths of Jinyiwei that Guo Bujing dares to guarantee that with the help of other parties in the imperial court, countless small and medium-sized oppressors can be solved in one capital and twelve provinces of the Ming Dynasty. The urban gang power of ordinary people.
He knows best and has confidence in the power of Jinyiwei everywhere.
As for another place in Beijing and another province, the urban gangs in Beizhili that oppressed the people have been almost wiped out, not to mention the ones in Shanxi.
Jin Yiwei is confident that they can deal with gangs in small and medium-sized towns, but not large ones.
For example, the Money Gang has a strong master.
To ensure that it is taken down, at least two great masters must take action.
There are only three Jinyiwei and one in Dongchang, which is too few.
And what we have to deal with this time is the money gang, which has several powerful masters. It is necessary to mobilize the experts of the imperial court.
At the same time, in order to deter all parties and prevent other martial arts forces from taking rash actions, more and stronger masters are needed to sit in all directions to ensure that other martial arts forces do not dare to take action.
To mobilize these experts, Zhu Houzhao needs to personally agree and issue orders.
Guo Bujing explained one after another, and Zhu Houzhao listened carefully.
At this time, he discovered that within the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the small and medium-sized urban gangs that oppressed the people, there were also many large ones.
And these large urban gangs range from nearly ten thousand to tens of thousands.
The most important thing is that what supports the existence of these gangs is the flesh and blood of countless Ming people.
What are town gangs?
Urban gangs are different from many righteous forces. They have their own fields and special 'businesses', and they have good relations with local forces such as gentry, landlords and merchants within their sphere of influence, and obtain tributes.
Although he is also sucking the blood of the common people, at least there is a layer of separation.
On the surface, it only absorbs the blood of powerful gentry, landlords and businessmen.
As for how these people suck the blood of ordinary people, as long as they don't go too far, the righteous forces usually turn a blind eye.
In short, the righteous forces have maintained overall peace and stability within their sphere of influence.
Urban gangs are evil and they don’t have so many scruples. Most of them are not just landlords, gentry, businessmen, etc. within their sphere of influence. They are directly close to ordinary people and suck their blood.
Collecting protection fees, collecting money from those who chop wood, collecting money from those who fish, forcing young people to join gangs, all kinds of oppression, etc.
They are the ones who bully the lower class people the most. The Sun Moon Sect is actually an urban gang that oppresses the people.
In addition to these urban gang forces that oppress the people, there are also evil forces like Yihua Palace, which are far away from the towns, not close to the people, and more like 'blood-sucking' like the righteous way.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao already knew about these various situations.
If you don’t know, how can you clean the land of Jin?
It’s just that he has been enduring them for a long time.
Of course, the power of the imperial court has become more and more powerful in recent years, and the prestige of Emperor Shengwu is at its peak. In addition, the imperial court has a very thorough administration, and the factory guards keep a close eye on it.
These urban gangs that oppressed the people have restrained themselves a lot, allowing the people at the bottom to survive and not dare to take lives easily.
But Zhu Houzhao's efforts to cleanse their minds never weakened at all.
The brothel and tooth shop incident just happened to involve them.
Then there is no need to wait at all. Anyone who oppresses the people will be purged.
"Your Majesty, so far, there are eight large-scale urban gangs that are determined to be destroyed.
They all have strong masters, and there may even be stronger ones.
For example, Nu.
According to the words of King Weiwu and the old prince, Lang Fanyun of Jiao Gang may have reached the ultimate level of Grand Master.
Others may not. No, for example, the Dugu Sword Master behind Wushuang City has not appeared in the world for many years, and it is impossible to determine what level he has reached.
These are only the eight that have been confirmed so far. After the brothels, gambling dens, and dental shops in various places are sealed off, we still don’t know how many there will be? "
Guo Bujing said solemnly, paused, and then said: "Therefore, your majesty and ministers suggest that these large urban gangs can also be distinguished. ”
“How to distinguish? "Zhu Houzhao frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, there are six forces such as Money Gang, Tianxiahui, Happy City, Qianluo Mountain City, Zunxin Sect, and Western Demon Sect.
The strongest ones are the city lords of their gangs. As leaders, of course they are inseparable. They are the source of the crime and must be taken down.
But Lang Fanyun of the Nu Jiao Gang and Dugu Sword Master of Wushuang City are different.
According to the news, the two of them have long ignored foreign affairs. The crimes of the Nujiao Gang and Wushuang City in oppressing the people have nothing to do with them.
Is it possible to negotiate with them, win them over, and get them to cooperate with the court? "Guo Bujing said seriously.
"Old Guo, do you think Lang Fanyun and Dugu Sword Master have no responsibility? "Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked.
"Your Majesty, I—" Guo Bujing was speechless.
"I tell you, when the floods are raging, not a drop of water is innocent.
The people of Ming Dynasty are not living well. I am the biggest problem, and none of the officials are innocent.
Lang Fanyun and Dugu Sword Master may not have oppressed the people themselves, and may even be kind-hearted, but as they are members of the Nujiao Gang and Wushuang City, and are the strongest people, they cannot escape the relationship
A crime is a crime, and they will not be excused because they are stronger
I don’t care about other countries, but not here, in the Ming Dynasty.”
"I know what you are thinking. I think they are not bad people, they are strong and can be won over.
But if they are not guilty and can be fine, then where is the law of the court?
In my eyes, no matter who he is, he must be punished if he is guilty, without exception," Zhu Houzhao said seriously.
"I know I made a mistake, please punish me." Guo Bujing immediately saluted.
Several people present saluted together, because this idea was made by them together.
Zhu Houzhao said more seriously: "You deserve to be punished. You have never reduced each other's responsibilities because of your status before.
But now, you have reduced each other's responsibilities because the other party's martial arts strength is too strong.
You must not have this kind of thought.
What about the realm of the great master? Even if he is in the realm of heaven and man, I will never let him go.
< br>If you deserve to be punished, you will be punished, and if you deserve to be killed, you will be killed, no exceptions.”
Guo Bujing and others looked ashamed, especially Guo Bujing and Yan Nantian.
They have been guards and detectives for so many years, so of course they know that Lang Fanyun and Lonely Sword Master themselves must be responsible.
But in addition to doing good for the Ming Dynasty, they were also inevitably affected by his strength, and knew that these two people were not evil people, but they were both rare infatuated swordsmen, heroes, and they had a good impression.
That’s why I agree.
“This time, I will fine you silver first. According to your position, the lowest is one thousand taels of silver, and it will be doubled for each higher level.
Next time, if you have this mentality again, then there is no need to stay in this position. "Zhu Houzhao said seriously.
These are very important issues and must not be taken lightly.
"Yes. "Everyone responded solemnly.
Zhu Houzhao's expression softened a little and he thought: "The responsibility of these two people cannot be escaped.
But if they themselves did not harm the people, I can give them the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
It depends on whether they are willing or not.
If you don’t want to, then you will be judged according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
I will tell the person who deals with them. ”
