Chapter 639: Master Lin is simply the nemesis of gangsters
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain!
Lin Ze waved his hand and told Dongming Kangtai to get out, then called Niu Saner.
He took out the key and the seal and ordered, "Go to the Specie Bank. Osako Michimasa has stored a lot of valuables there. Take these things out and arrange a place to store them. I'll come get them later. Bring two military police with you and say that they are needed for the investigation. Tell those guys at the Specie Bank not to say anything."
This is still necessary. The China National Bank has a strong background. If Niu Saner goes alone, I am afraid that some people will not buy it.
Director Niu was already familiar with such matters. He took the keys and private seal and went out immediately to handle the matter.
By the next day, the news that Major Lin had great luck spread quickly in the gendarmerie headquarters.
First, Taro Tanaka was found dead in the dormitory area after accidentally falling. Later, a military police claimed that when Major Hayashi just arrived at the military police headquarters, Taro Tanaka had foolishly blocked his convoy.
Soon after, news came that Nakamura Hideshi died in the hospital for unknown reasons. According to the doctor, he must have had some serious illness, which broke out suddenly, leaving no time for treatment.
Now everyone was scared.
So whoever doesn't get along with Lieutenant Colonel Lin will lose his life!
Some people did not believe it and thought that Lieutenant Colonel Lin was really vindictive and that he must have sent people to kill these two people.
But more people refuted this view.
If Nakamura Hideshi was killed by Major Hayashi, this might be possible.
What about Taro Tanaka?
The people in the Military Police Headquarters are all responsible for investigations. At a glance at the death scene, it was clear that Tanaka tripped and hit his head.
With the help of some people with ulterior motives, another piece of news spread.
It is said that although Lieutenant Colonel Hayashi is Chinese, he is the son of destiny blessed by Amaterasu.
It is said that it only took this major three years to rise from a small patrolman to a major in the gendarmerie headquarters!
During this period, almost anyone who went against him would have a bad ending!
Simply terrible!
As a result, the officers who were qualified to report to Major Lin would go to ask for a meeting whenever they had something to do or not.
No matter whether it is a big or small matter, report it to Major Lin first.
Even if there is really nothing to do, you still have to ask for a meeting to show your loyalty!
Who would dislike subordinates being too loyal!
The Director of Public Security, Qingshui Hao, didn't beat around the bush. He only came here once in the past few days, but he brought a thick stack of information.
"Major, please take a look at this, I have compiled the information about the gangs on the docks, as well as the methods to clean them up."
Lin Ze was sitting in a large office chair smoking a cigarette. Qingshui Hao bent down and handed over the information.
Lin Ze took it and took a look. It was amazing that Qingshui Hao's summary of the situation and plan were quite detailed.
Speaking of the strength of Tianjin's gangs, first the leader of the Hedong Black Flag Team supported by Tiandao died inexplicably in Peiping, then the biggest gangster in Tianjin, Yuan Wenhui of the "Yuan Army" was killed by Lin Ze, and finally the Yuguo Gang basically went ashore to clean up their crimes, took over part of Yuan Wenhui's industry, and paid tribute to Master Lin every month.
It can be said that there are no more established and large-scale gangs.
Those remaining old men who are qualified to open incense shops and accept apprentices no longer have the influence they once had and can no longer be seen in the spotlight.
The only ones left are the powerful gangs active at the ports and along the Haihe River.
The Li Gang was also a branch of the Cao Gang or the Qing Gang, but later on, big gangsters like Yuan Wenhui changed their careers to open brothels and sell opium, and only the Li Gang continued to make a living from the docks.
They say they make a living from the dock, but in fact they make a living from the people, that is, they take a cut from the salaries of the porters and loaders.
Whenever a businessman's cargo ship arrives at the port and he wants to move or transport the goods, he must find help and cannot hire people privately. Otherwise, he will be beaten at best and burned along with the ship and the goods at worst.
After you find Libang and pay the money, the people from Libang will assess how much cargo there is, and then give a call and have people carrying heavy bags come to do the work.
Every time they carried out a package of goods, the accountant would give them a bamboo chip.
After moving the goods, you can get paid by presenting the chips.
Because those who carry heavy bags don't know the total transportation fee, and how much money a chip can be exchanged for, the people who help out have the final say.
This business doesn't seem to be very good, but I have to organize manpower, watch over the moving of goods, and do the accounting and payment.
But once something becomes a monopoly, it will generate huge profits.
There are five or six such gangs, controlling more than a dozen docks of various sizes along the Haihe River. They transport countless goods every day and make thousands of dollars a day as if it were a piece of cake.
A business of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars a month is definitely a huge business, almost as much as a cigarette factory, which shows the huge profits.
The key is that money is not the most important thing, people are the most important.
Over the years, from the National Police Agency to the Japanese later on, hasn't anyone ever thought of wiping out these powerful gangs?
Of course there were, but they all gave up in the end.
There are tens of thousands of porters carrying heavy bags at the dock. Although the Li Bang's control over them is not strict, if they really want to cause trouble, they can still mobilize a few thousand people.
These are not thugs who are just making up the numbers; they are real strong laborers. Thousands of them, what does that mean?
So no one dared to touch this bomb. If it really happened, they would be the ones to be blown up.
But others don't dare, but Lin Ze does.
The reason why Li Bang was able to control Li Fu was nothing more than a few factors, which can be summarized as a combination of kindness and force.
The main reason is the power. The gang has professional thugs who are good at fighting and they also have weapons hidden, not to mention iron weapons, there are also some long guns and short guns. This is the basis for them to operate, that is, they have a certain amount of military force.
Another thing is that they control the freight channels. The habit formed over a long period of time is that cargo owners must contact Libang, which separates cargo owners from Libangers. Moreover, most of Libangers are honest people who have not been to school. If they are really asked to negotiate business with cargo owners, they will not be able to do it.
If any laborer dares to disobey, the Li Gang will not assign him any work, and if he doesn't work, he will have no food to eat. In this way, no laborer will dare to go against the Li Gang who are lying on them and drinking their blood.
Not only that, the Li Gang will also do some fancy tricks, which is the part of En.
If there are two powerful gangs fighting for territory, as long as you dare to fight, even if you are beaten to death, you can rest assured that your whole family will be supported by the gang.
But why do we say this is a waste of time? Because in the first few years, this family will indeed live a good life.
But in a few years, when people gradually forget about them, this family will disappear inexplicably.
Someone asked me and I went back to my hometown in the countryside to farm.
As for where it went, no one knows.
In recent years, the world has been in a bad state, and more and more people have chosen to work at the docks, but Li Bang's business has become more and more prosperous.
The commission is getting higher and higher. In the past, a strong laborer could barely support his family by working for a day.
Now?
I have to work day and night to barely keep my family from starving to death!
Such a powerful gang must be eliminated!
Tens of thousands of laborers must be controlled by Lin Ze!
