Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 161 The initial layout of Jinmen

Qiuquan talked about the situation of this batch of supplies and equipment. They were lucky at sea. They did not encounter Japanese warships and arrived at the Tianjin port smoothly. All the things are still temporarily stored in the warehouse at the dock. There are already some police

After talking to the spies and local forces, Qiuquan finally made careful arrangements and nothing happened.

The most obvious among them is the Japanese ronin, who always likes to hang around the dock area no matter what, and seems to smell something, or maybe he has received some instructions from the Kwantung Army. The Japanese secret service in Tianjin has been very active recently.

It's okay for a short time, but if it takes a long time, something might happen. The Japanese secret agents probably suspect that the things loaded on these two freighters from the Northeast have some connection with the Bloody Hands' military operations in Anton.

In addition, in order to carry out the commander's order, Qiuquan has sent a squadron of soldiers, divided into ten groups, to go deep into the Taihang Mountains at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi to find suitable footholds for the troops in the future, as well as hidden areas that will serve as bases in the future.

It has been a month since they set out, but no news has come back yet. Qiuquan is also very worried about this. There are many bandits and cottages in the Taihang Mountains, and he is afraid that something unexpected will happen to the soldiers.

Tang Qiuli immediately asked Qiuquan if the troops were carrying weapons when they set off. Qiuquan immediately told him that they were carrying weapons brought from the northeast. In addition, before setting off, Qiuquan spent a lot of money to get them for them.

A lot of good equipment.

Tang Qiuli was relieved. He knew very well the combat effectiveness of these soldiers of the special operations detachment. A group of twenty or so people would not be a match for a hundred and eighty bandits, not to mention that they could support each other. The main reason was that this task was too difficult and urgent.

No, fortunately, there is still enough time.

Then, Qiuquan was about to report on his expenses after arriving in North China. As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Qiuli interrupted him and said: "Brother Qiuquan, it goes without saying. I completely believe you, every dollar of your money

, It’s all spent on the blade, this all belongs to the little devil, if it’s gone, ask the little devil to snatch it away.” Qiuquan was stunned for a moment, and was immediately filled with a strange feeling. He looked deeply at this young man of his own.

A glance at my cousin.

Tang Qiuli understood Qiuquan's approach and ideas very well. However, Qiuquan had just arrived in North China, and there were so many supplies and equipment that needed to be settled in a safe place and to prevent the Japanese from detecting and destroying them. This required cooperation with various parties.

Dealing with all kinds of people, newcomers, no foundation, can only use money to clear the way.

Furthermore, an intelligence system needs to be established, which all costs money. He doesn't want Brother Qiuquan to feel that he has spent a lot of money in vain. These are all obtained by the soldiers in the Northeast with their blood and lives.

It was unfair to Brother Qiuquan to feel guilty, so he stopped Qiuquan. If it were him, it might have cost him even more than this.

Tang Qiuli then said: "Brother Qiuquan, I want to know the actual situation in Tianjin and the progress of our work in North China."

Qiuquan retracted his excitement and said: "We have initially established an intelligence network in Peiping and Tianjin, but the personnel are not yet stable and need further investigation. We have not yet started work. We are preparing to expand to Hebei, Shanxi, and the entire Shaanxi province in the next step."

.

The situation in Tianjin is more complicated because there are concessions from various countries and the Nationalist Government has no troops stationed here. The Japanese forces have been more active recently and are actively wooing former powerful figures who live in seclusion in Tianjin. It seems that they have new plans.

The situation of gangs is like this. In addition to the traditional three major gangs, Hongmen, Qinggang and Ligang, there are countless small and medium-sized gangs. In order to compete for territory and power, gang fights are constantly happening. In addition, Japanese devils are sowing discord among them.

The use of bribes and inducements has made Tianjin Wei a mess, and the chickens and dogs are restless.

Because the concessions of various countries have their own interests, they cannot form a joint force. Therefore, Tianjin is nominally under the jurisdiction of the National Government, but in fact, the various forces divide the territory and form their own system. Among them, the leader of the Youth Gang, Yuan Wenhui, known as Yuan Sanye, is the most powerful.

, is in the limelight, and vaguely has the meaning of a gang leader.

Tang Qiuli knew this Yuan Wenhui very well. He was the leader of the Tianjin Youth Gang and was very powerful here. He had dominated the southern city of Tianjin for thirty years. After the July 7th Incident, the Japanese occupied Tianjin. He openly surrendered to the enemy and became a traitor.

His disciples formed the main body of the Japanese secret service in Tianjin, oppressing the people, destroying anti-Japanese organizations, and doing all kinds of bad things.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Yuan Wenhui was sentenced to seven years in prison by the Nationalist government for being a traitor and collaborating with the enemy, and all his property was confiscated. From then on, the Qing Gang's power gradually declined and eventually collapsed, and all his gang members dispersed.

Listening to Qiuquan, I hope Tang Qiu will leave and befriend this Yuan Wenhui so that he can use his power to facilitate the smooth development of the Blood Hand's intelligence network in North China, especially in Tianjin. The key is that Brother Qiuquan doesn't know that this Yuan Wenhui

, and ultimately a hardcore traitor.

Are you going to make friends with him? If given the chance, Tang Qiuli would like to get rid of him so that he can eliminate this big harm to Tianjin in advance. However, can he tell Brother Qiuquan these words? Even if he did, he wouldn't believe it.

Yes, after all, this still hasn’t happened.

What's more, these big gangs that have been famous for a long time have very complex membership and deep-rooted habits. It is difficult to be righteous with them, but they are in danger of seeking skin from the tiger.

Tang Qiuli asked Qiuquan how the other small and medium-sized gangs were doing. Among the small and medium-sized Qiuquan gangs, there were several gangs that were relatively powerful and influential among ordinary citizens. One was the Canal Gang, which mainly made a living on the water.

In addition to inland water transport,

It also runs a maritime business and travels between the Bohai Sea. Its personnel are mainly poor fishermen and boatmen. Most of them come from poor backgrounds and have a good reputation among ordinary people. The gang leader is called Chen Yuanjiang. I heard that this man is eager for justice and justice.

He has a reputation for being generous and generous.

The other one is the Bear Pole Association, which mainly does business on the road. Its personnel are mainly composed of dock workers, porters and rickshaw pullers. They are basically from poor backgrounds and have a good reputation among ordinary people. The president is Liu Dazhu. It is said that he has a

Like a raging fire, he hates evil as much as he hates it, he is generous and loves to fight against injustice.

These two gangs are basically inseparable and do not interact with each other. It stands to reason that their businesses are closely related. I don’t know why this is the case.

There is also the Flower Shooting Gang, whose leader is unknown. This gang has a very bad reputation in the eyes of the people. Its members are mainly composed of homeless people, deserters, defeated soldiers, and some thieves and local gangsters. They engage in prostitution and gambling.

The people of Tianjin are so angry about the deception, abduction, and human trafficking that they are all gnashing their teeth in anger.

Originally, these three gangs did not interfere with each other and tried to avoid conflicts. However, recently, it is said that the Paihua Party has received secret support from Yuan Wenhui, the Youth Gang, and they have infiltrated into the areas of influence of the Canal Gang and the Biandan Gang. There have been conflicts among the three parties.

Several relatively large-scale conflicts occurred, causing mutual harm and hatred.

Also, commander, our goods are stored in the warehouse of the Canal Gang. I have met Chen Yuanjiang once. He is not a bad person, but the price he charges for doing business is quite high.

After Qiuquan finished speaking, he stopped talking. Tang Qiuli looked at his cousin with admiration. In such a short period of time, he understood the situation in Tianjin so clearly. He was worthy of being a veteran with high intelligence. It can be seen that Qiuquan

It took a lot of hard work, but the manpower was not enough, so it was really difficult for him.

"Brother Qiuquan, I want to meet this Chen Yuanjiang, please make arrangements for me," Tang Qiuli said. Qiuquan was stunned and just nodded. According to his character, he should not ask questions, and he would definitely not ask.

The next day, Tang Qiuli was waiting for news in the villa. He asked the soldiers to go to the street and buy all the newspapers. Then, he made a pot of tea and looked leisurely on the recliner. Xiaoling sat down

Beside her, there were also newspapers reading. Shan Hu and Bater couldn't stay still and went out to train the soldiers.

The house is very quiet. The bright sunshine shines into the living room through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, making the living room a bright yellow. The two pots of holly in the corner are lush and green.

Tang Qiuli suddenly laughed out loud. Xiaoling looked at him in surprise. Why was Qiuli laughing inexplicably? Tang Qiuli handed the newspaper to Xiaoling. Xiaoling also smiled while looking at it. There was also a smile in her smile.

A touch of pride and shyness.

Tang Qiuli really guessed it. The two of them appearing at the dock last night were indeed published in the newspaper. Some of them were even headlines. The newspaper wrote: A rich man and his girlfriend suddenly came to Tianjin last night.

At the Gate Pier, there was a huge lineup and many bodyguards. Her background was unknown, and she was suspected to be a senior official of the Nanjing Government.

"The man is like a jade tree in the wind, and the woman is like a fairy. A pair of beauties suddenly appeared at the Tianjin pier. Under the escort of bodyguards, they hurried away in a car. They seemed to have a hidden agenda. They were suspected to be family members of a wealthy family fleeing from the Northeast. They could not bear the bullying of the Japanese.

, came to Tianjin again and again."

"A startling glimpse, radiant light, but unfortunately I didn't see the whole picture, leaving room for endless reverie. Last night, a rich girl and a handsome man suddenly appeared at the Jinmen Pier. Under the strict protection of bodyguards, the girl took the

The car drove away, and his life story was not known, so it became a mystery."

Anyway, there were all kinds of nonsense, some said they were running away from marriage and eloped, some said they were brothers and sisters coming to Tianjin for business, some said Pan An was reincarnated, Diao Chan was reincarnated, just a fairy from heaven, there were also large photos of the two of them, etc.

in the newspaper.

Ling and the others were laughing while watching, and they also made jokes to each other, such as the pictures you took were ugly. Xiaoling and the others were laughing while watching, and they were making jokes to each other, such as the pictures you took were ugly.

It’s hard to be famous, but I’m sorry, journalists who rely on entertainment are not just new in recent years. Counting, they should be seniors from gossip magazines, entertainment weekly, paparazzi and the like.

While they were laughing, Qiu Quan came back. Seeing that they were both helpless and looking at them strangely, Tang Qiuli handed the newspaper to Qiu Quan, who was happy when he saw it.

Later, Qiuquan said to Tang Qiuli: "Commander, Chen Yuanjiang has promised to meet you in the afternoon, but not at the hotel we proposed, but at his Canal Gang headquarters."

Tang Qiuli smiled, she had expected him to be like this, okay, I will go meet this gang boss in the afternoon.
