It is very convenient to walk to Shanghai along the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, and the main force of the People's Army entered China's largest city tepidly.
There were no flowers or applause, which was in sharp contrast to the excitement and support in other places liberated by the People's Army. On the way, the People's Army felt that it was necessary to attack Shanghai Yi and defend the shipwreck.
Seeing that you are used to the various military valves, you will sing. For the people's army, most Shanghai citizens only emit a "oh" in their hearts, and then continue to run for a day of life.
Does it matter who comes? The concession is still prosperous and prosperous, but it is still difficult for ordinary people to make a living. In addition to paying a high industrial and commercial tax when doing business, it is still inevitable to be ripped off by some Taibao Afei.
At this time, the most famous gang in Shanghai was the Qinggang. They commit arms smuggling, drug trafficking, gambling, robbery, human trafficking, armed escort, extortion and kidnapping, and land grabs. As for fights, they are commonplace.
¡°But in this abnormal environment, only this kind of gangster can take advantage of it. They rely on various methods, have more or less private transactions with foreign forces, and control all activities in Shanghai. The People's Army does not have as many troops as others, can it withstand the situation?
Chen Duxiu once wrote about Shanghai gangs: "Who is the most powerful person in Shanghai society? On the surface, it goes without saying that political and economic power is in the hands of Westerners, but this is not the case underneath the society. Most factory workers , all porters, most patrolmen, all inquisitors, this group of highly active citizens are under the control of the Youth Gang."
"Their organization, no other group in Shanghai is bigger than them, and their old man's orders are more effective than the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau. They have done a lot of evil, and it can be said that the order and tranquility of Shanghai are in their hands."
Just last year, they even beat up Governor Lu¡¯s son, but he was fine in the end, wasn¡¯t he?
For Shanghai, due to the abnormal prosperity of the underworld created by various concessions, it has unique characteristics in controlling public security. The People's Army's occupation of Shanghai happened overnight. Military victory could be achieved overnight, but the takeover that followed was complicated. Stabilizing the situation in the short term depends on whether the underworld gangs everywhere can keep their peace.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????How to transform gang members in Shanghai so that they can be used by the People's Party? Jiang Baili, who served as the commander-in-chief of the front line, asked Zhang Hanqing for instructions.
Zhang Hanqing watched many feature films about Shanghai in the old society in later generations. Many of the characters in them are familiar to him, such as Huang Jinrong, Xu Wenqiang, and Du Yuesheng. After hearing the news about the "liberation" of Shanghai, I impulsively wanted to see whether some of the legendary figures were as awesome as what was written in the book. However, I thought that as a "politician and military strategist", I had some unorthodox talents in getting involved in the underworld. stop.
"But think about it, Du Yuesheng and Xu Wenqiang have not yet gotten together, and only Huang Huangrong has achieved some success.
Zhang Hanqing knows very well about this legendary figure in Shanghai, and has seen many legends about Green Gang figures in movies and TV. This golden man has many disciples, and the most famous among them is Chiang Kai-shek.
Huang Huangrong, known as the "Shanghai Famous Man", was a well-known leader of the Youth Gang in old Shanghai and the leader of the "Three Rogue Tycoons" - the other two were Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin. He is 55 years old this year. He came to Shanghai when he was 12 years old. When he was 17 years old, he worked as an apprentice in the painting shop owned by his brother-in-law in the Shanghai City God Temple. Later, he followed in his father's footsteps and was admitted to the "Bao Da Dao" (i.e. patrol house) in the French Concession in Shanghai.
Since then, with his shrewdness, he has repeatedly solved major and important cases, and gradually rose to the position of being the only Chinese inspector general in the Shanghai French Concession Patrol Room.
Huang Huangrong knows very well that if he does not form a clique with gangsters, it will be difficult to secure the position of "Inspector General". At that time, Shanghai gangsters had the so-called "accepting someone's prot¨¦g¨¦ but not denying" rule: if you are not someone's prot¨¦g¨¦, it is allowed to "act" as someone's prot¨¦g¨¦; if you are someone's prot¨¦g¨¦, when you encounter trouble, you must It won't work if you give up.
According to this rule, Huang Huangrong pretended to be a disciple of Zhang Jinghu, the "big" member of the Qinggang, and thus recruited many disciples. Later, he sent Zhang Jinghu 20,000 silver yuan, forcing Zhang Jinghu to accept him as his disciple. In this way, his falsehoods became true and he became the descendant of the Qinggang "Tong". Later, as his power developed, he became a Shanghai Youth Gang tycoon.
With the dual status of the police and the Youth Gang, Huang Jinrong's "prosperity" grew: the famous "Big World" in Shanghai was included in his "territory"; Guilin Park became his private garden, called the "Huang Family" Garden"; the "Golden Grand Theater" named after "two-thirds of his name" was built; he also owned one of the four major Peking Opera stages in Shanghai, "Gongtai", the Grand View Garden Bathhouse, as well as "Junpeili", "Yuan" "Chengli" and dozens of houses.??Hundreds of acres of fertile land in Suzhou
Especially in Junpeili, a three-story bungalow with dozens of rooms is known as the "Huang Mansion". After the Revolution of 1911, Huang Huangrong moved here and lived here for more than 40 years until he died of illness. Most of the houses near Huang Mansion were rented by his thousands of disciples, forming Huang Huangrong's circle of influence.
Regarding Jiang Baili¡¯s questions, Zhang Hanqing actually had a lot of thoughts.
The formation of gangs has its own internal logic, but in general, they must exist in large numbers in areas beyond the reach of the government, such as the famous Golden Triangle, the Sicilian Mafia, and drug lords in Colombia and Mexico. .
In fact, under the sun, the underworld is even more shady.
To eliminate the underworld, we must eradicate the soil where it exists. Without nutrients, it can no longer grow; if we can cut off its branches and clean up its periphery at the same time, when it is finally left alone, it can only wait to be chopped down at any time.
¡° Piers, brothels, casinos and opium dens, as well as countless young people engaged in these businesses, are the soil for its existence, smuggling is its channel for survival, and collusion with powerful institutions is its magic weapon to avoid being banned.
¡°But as long as the People¡¯s Party flexes its muscles, I believe that no fool will understand what it means to overestimate its capabilities.
Within a few days, the municipal government and courts were reorganized, the police department all had a new look, the armed police set up kiosks at various dock crossings, party and government agencies were formed from top to bottom, and grassroots organizations such as police stations and neighborhood committees also began to flourish. PowerThe People's Party began to make strides to control Shanghai.
Today¡¯s Shanghai is also the most important economic center and maritime gateway in China to the great powers such as Britain, the United States, France, and Japan. To control Shanghai, relying on the important Shanghai-Nanjing Railway and the relatively developed road network in China, several provinces in East China and Yangtze River shipping were affected.
The most important thing is that Shanghai has three political entities: the International Public Concession, the French Concession and the Chinese Concession. Since the Xiaodao Society launched an uprising in 1853, it has been a common practice here: once a war breaks out on Chinese soil, Whether it was China's war with foreign countries or China's civil war, the concessions remained neutral, and in fact remained neutral.
Huang Huangrong¡¯s territory is mainly in the French Concession, and his influence is quite large. If the People's Army wants to effectively control Shanghai, it has to deal with foreign powers in the current period, and it must be wary of its influence.
Therefore, the previously planned policy is that as long as they do not come out to cause trouble and disrupt the public order in Shanghai, they will not be touched. Especially gang leaders such as Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, according to Zhang Hanqing's instructions: "Don't move them first and observe them for a period of time!"
The Shanghai garrison is Zhang Zizhong¡¯s 12th Division, which has been training in Hubei for more than a year. In addition to the five main forces, the equipment is also the first batch of divisions that can meet the requirements of the mountain artillery regiment of the brigade. More than 30,000 troops surrounded the city and built barracks in many places in the city center. People immediately felt the murderous intent of the People's Army.
"If you don't move, you will be done. If you move, you will eradicate the root cause. This can be seen from the "Announcement on People's Peace" issued by the Shanghai Municipal Government: "Anyone who continues to do evil will, once investigated, be punished severely, quickly and severely, and severe punishment will not be neglected"
The Shanghai Branch of the Central Investigation Department of the People's Party, which had early dealings with the Qinggang, obtained a guarantee from Huang Jinrong: As long as the Qinggang cooperated with the army to complete the security work of controlling Shanghai during the People's Army's stationing in Shanghai, and actively maintained law and order, the People's Army would forget about the past of the Qinggang; Otherwise, the "Military Control Commission" that controls Shanghai's military and financial affairs will completely ban its presence in Shanghai.
Thinking about Huang Jinrong¡¯s generation of heroes, how many storms and waves they have seen, how can a mere "Military Control Commission" squat on their heads and shit? Many juniors angrily want to earn face for their boss and let the "Military Control Commission" see their own interests, so some loyal people will come up with bad ideas.
Unexpectedly, Huang Jinrong picked up the big-eared quack and said: "If you want me to live a long time, it is only right for you and your grandsons to cooperate with the Military Control Commission! Qi Xieyuan has tens of thousands of people and guns, but he peed after a while? "
The experienced Huang Jinrong knows very well that under the iron fist of the people's army, no dark forces can come to the fore, otherwise, the underworld will not be able to rebel!
In order to show his determination to cause no harm, Huang Huangrong also handed over the list of more than 400 gang leaders under him to the Shanghai branch of the "Central Investigation Department". Therefore, after the People's Army occupied Shanghai, the Youth Gang did not cause chaos.
At that time, Shanghai was being taken over here and there, but Huang Huangrong lived peacefully in his home in Shanghai without touching him. At this time, the Huang family was still a big family and could be called a big family. The Shanghai Military Control Commission observed that Huang Huangrong did not cause trouble. He has become a complete "homebody", living in seclusion, not asking about foreign affairs, and staying at home quietly. He just "soaks his skin in water in the morning and soaks his skin in water in the afternoon" every day.
The so-called "Pi soaking in water" means drinking tea, and the so-called "Pi soaking in water" means soaking in the bathhouse. He calls smoking, playing mahjong, and going to the bathhouse his "three pieces" of daily enjoyment.
¡°Having the Shanghai tycoon, who once dominated the world, be content to be inferior to others and endure humiliation has become a reflection of the strength of the People¡¯s Army. Some gangsters and underground forces were also frightened by the momentum of the People's Army and became low-key. Shanghai citizens were delighted to discover overnight that the disciples of the Qinghong Gang, who had always been domineering, had become much gentler.
