Chapter 40: Beggar Gang

Several people talked for a while, and over there, Lama Wang continued to ask questions.

"We want to know about the situation in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty." He said: "Your Majesty and the ministers are very interested in the information you have. If you can provide useful information, the court will definitely reward you."

Zhao Liang bowed again to thank him, and then said to the Great Lama Wang: "I am willing to serve the country, and I am not greedy for rewards. It's just that I have been in trouble recently, and I want to ask the court to uphold justice."

"What's wrong?" Guo Kang asked.

"The villain has always been law-abiding. Apart from driving, he trains horses and maintains equipment in the guild hall every day. He has never provoked anyone. Before, people from the Tang Sect came to cause trouble, and the villain endured the humiliation and only waited for the Chamber of Commerce to mediate." Zhao Liang complained.

: "But recently, people from the Beggar Clan came to my door again."

The Beggar Gang is also one of the five major rivers and lakes forces in Rome. These people mainly come from the Ross area in the north, so they are called "Northern Beggars". In fact, they are not real beggars, but because they mingle with the lower classes of society, they are regarded as beggars by the local Greeks.

, hence the name.

Although the Ross people are not very good at fighting, they are hard-working and brave in fighting. They are very conspicuous in the various gang fights in the city. Their leader is good at using long sticks. It is said that when he was in Ross's hometown, he could beat someone with a stick.

Killing a bear in the forest is known as "beating a bear with a stick".

Although these people were unscrupulous and often caused trouble, their organization was also a resource available in the city and had some contacts with the government. My adoptive father was guarding the capital at the time. In a hurry, the city was short of soldiers, so he mobilized the Russians from the Beggar Gang to go up the city wall.

Helped and finally defended the city.

Therefore, when members of the Ross gang commit crimes, the grassroots officials often let them go and do not pursue them excessively. Therefore, they remain as arrogant and arrogant as ever, even looking down on several other sects, and often fight with them.

"What did they do?" Guo Kang's family also had contact with these people and knew that they had never been serious, so they asked quickly.

"They had a fight with people from the Tang Clan, and the result was Chi Yu. Some people thought that we were also the property of the Tang Clan, and they refused to listen to any explanation. In the end, they smashed up the guild hall and injured my brother," Zhao Liang replied.

Guo Kang asked a few more questions to find out the situation.

It turned out that Zhao Liang and others had just arrived and were unable to join the famous racing team in Junbao, so they had to be affiliated with a Venetian businessman's business. The businessman took a fancy to their driving skills and gave them a lot of sponsorship, so the relationship between the two parties was very harmonious.

But recently, it seems that a Venetian businessman owed money to a Jewish businessman because of a failed investment. When the Jewish businessman refused to repay the debt, he became angry and found a gang of beggars. He took them to destroy the shops and forcibly collected the debt, threatening that if he did not pay back the debt,

In exchange for money, he cut off the Venetian merchant's flesh as compensation.

When they were mediating the Tang Clan incident, the merchants established some contacts with them. Seeing that other gangs were fighting, the Tang Clan people came to see the situation. Unexpectedly, the Beggar Clan people were so unreasonable that when they saw them coming, they thought they were robbing them.

With the spoils of war, they started fighting directly. The Tang Sect was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

The Beggar Gang believed that the shop and the racing car warehouse next to it were the properties of the Tang Clan, so they took the opportunity to smash them and took away all the valuables.

Zhao Liang went to a racecourse in Bulgaria to buy horse racing, but he happened to be away, so he escaped from the disaster, but his good friend Wan Yangou suffered a disaster.

Wanyangou was staying in the clubhouse at that time, but he was chased by a group of fierce Russian barbarians. He jumped up and down and was almost beaten to death. He only escaped by hiding in an underground reservoir. After that, Wanyangou had a psychological shadow.

, I couldn’t speak smoothly anymore, and I haven’t fully recovered yet.

This dispute has yet to be resolved, and the local officials have not asked about it at all. Therefore, he took the risk to appeal, hoping that the court would take action.

Guo Kang also didn't expect that there was another case behind this matter. He glanced at his adoptive father and felt that it wouldn't be difficult to solve it if his family intervened. But now was not the time to decide the case, so he could only deal with it first and discuss the business before talking about it.

Over there, the Great Lama Wang seemed to have the same idea.

"I will contact Yousi to help you solve this matter." He promised: "You handle your affairs well, and I will naturally help you if you need help."

Zhao Liang nodded gratefully.

"I heard from Javanese businessmen that the expedition to the east expelled the Ming Dynasty's garrison on Shuidada Road and recaptured the main producing area of ​​northern pearls, so now many pearls flow into the market through them." Wang Da Lama said: "You give

Please tell us about the situation there."

"Okay." Zhao Liang took the words, pointed to the northeast of the map, and said: "My hometown is in Shangjing, Gujin. There are still people living there and running a fur business. In the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Shizu pacified Naiyan and others.

After the rebellion, Liaoyang Province was established, and it has been under the jurisdiction of officials since then. The Nuzhi River reached Wanhu Prefecture, and the administrative seat was at our place. Since then, the imperial court has been sending people to manage it, and many of the organizational systems are still in use today."

Guo Kang also looked at the picture.

Dada is the official name of the various Mongolian tribes in the Yuan Dynasty. Shui Dada is a Shiwei people who stayed in the Northeast and has been engaged in fishing and hunting. The scope of Nvzhi Shui Dada Wanhu Prefecture is probably the Songhua River in later generations, hlj

Downstream, to the sea.

It was originally the territory of the kings of the Eastern Mongolia. Later, because the central government of the Yuan Dynasty tried to promote provinces, conflicts arose with the feudal kings. So Naiyan, the clan king in the northeastern region, united with the clan kings in the northwest and Mobei to launch a rebellion.

The Mongols in the north have always been the biggest enemy of the Yuan Dynasty, and the imperial court has always been wary of this. After the rebellion, Kublai Khan immediately decided to go on a personal expedition and led the Han army guards in the northern expedition, capturing and killing Naiyan. The forces of the kings in the east suffered heavy losses.

After that, the Yuan Dynasty continued to administer this area through officials, and it is not surprising that it still has influence today.

"The current Zhengdong Province started from here." He pointed to the river mouth on the map: "The route Shizu took to conquer Japan was very wrong. He was probably coaxed by the Koreans - or the Koreans themselves didn't know anything about it.

, after all, it was the Japanese who crossed the sea to fight them, but I never saw them crossing the sea to fight back."

"And this time, they hired the local Jurchen tribe who are familiar with sea conditions to act as guides." He pointed to a large area of ​​​​the coast: "The Jurchens here have been going to sea to plunder Japan all year round, and they are very familiar with navigation routes, hydrology, and wind direction.

.I heard that the army was about to go on an expedition, and the local wealthy He Shilie clan took the initiative to lead the way. So this time it went smoothly, and after the war, we and the Zhengdong Province have been maintaining communication through this northern route."
