And just when everyone had been discussing for several days and still had no clue, a fight broke out outside Tianjin city, which quickly spread throughout Tianjin! The reason was said to be that the people from the He Gang blocked the people from the Cangzhou Gang who came to spy on the news, so
There was a fight outside the city.
The Cangzhou Gang is also a gang like the He Gang, and they both make a living on waterways. Moreover, the two sides are about the same size, so although there are some minor frictions between the two sides, they are always controlled within a small area. Moreover, the gang members of both sides will not fight until they have no last resort.
They will definitely not get close to the opponent's core area. This time, the Cangzhou Gang's people were able to reach the outskirts of Tianjin. It seems that there is a major change!
Just when everyone was talking about it, there were several armed fights in the city! The scale was not large, but the rumors were the same. It was the Cangzhou Gang who came to test the quality of the He Gang! If the He Gang couldn't resist it,
We must invade on a large scale and drive the He Gang out!
The common people were a little commotion when they heard the news! Because they felt that life was very good now and did not want any changes at all. But then news came that the He Gang had begun to look for former gang members with the old rosters.
Let them rejoin the gang.
However, they did not force these people to leave, but only repeatedly persuaded them. However, these people now have their own livelihoods. They are getting more wages than before, and they are not being deducted, so naturally they are unwilling. So the matter is settled.
But it made the people worried!
Just more than ten days after Liu Haojia left, two major events happened in Tianjin! The first major event was that the people Liu Haojia left behind began to collect taxes normally! There were not many tax collectors, but they acted in a very orderly manner. They passed the grates one street after another.
I did collect a lot of silver and copper coins!
However, those small vendors who were originally worried found that the money they charged was not much, and it was quite reasonable. At least it was much less than those who were extorted by those gangsters and servants before, so they took it to heart.
The second thing is that there were many armed fights outside the city that morning, and the two sides in the fight were people from the He Gang and the Cangzhou Gang! Moreover, the people from the He Gang obviously suffered a loss, and they all hunkered down inside the city and stopped showing off.
According to the news on the street, the people from the He Gang were beaten very badly this time, with their heads bruised and bleeding, and many of them were carried back. I'm afraid they suffered a big loss!
And in the afternoon, some people from the Cangzhou Gang appeared in the dock warehouse area and other places, openly announcing that this place would be taken over by the Cangzhou Gang in the next few days, and that all those doing river and sea transportation would be subject to their management, and they would also pump water.
!
Many of those who worked were originally members of the He Gang, and they were relatively fierce in nature, so they naturally refused to agree, so some minor conflicts broke out between the two sides. However, the Cangzhou Gang withdrew later.
Although these people withdrew in the end, they had a great impact! The people in Tianjin and its surrounding areas were a little panicked. Only then did the people realize how peaceful Tianjin was with Marquis Wu Ning and his Wu'an Army.
!
But a day later, things took a complicated turn! The tax collectors had a relatively smooth time collecting taxes from small merchants the first day, but today it became difficult to collect taxes from those merchants!
The merchants with a good attitude said with a smile that they didn't have enough money today and they would get it together within two or three days. The merchants with a bad attitude just yelled and said that there is no tax collection rule in Tianjin City, and neither can your Marquis.
Tax collection and so on. Even worse, they even refused to let in! The tax collectors argued for a few times, but in the end they could only leave in anger.
By the afternoon, there was a new change in the city! That is, people from the Cangzhou Gang actually entered the city and fought with people from the He Gang! The fight between the two sides was fierce, and it was obvious that the people from the He Gang were defeated! Many people were killed
When he was carried back, his head and face were covered with blood!
Since Magistrate Sun was imprisoned in the jail without anyone to supervise him, and the county magistrate suddenly reported illness, the entire county government office was leaderless! The officers also seemed to feel that a storm was coming, and they all took their time in doing things. Often it was both parties.
After a long time of fighting, they rushed to the scene timidly, then walked around in a circle and disappeared!彡彡訁凊
And there were rumors that night, saying that Mr. Hou did something wrong! The River Gang has been very effective in maintaining local security over the years, but being targeted by Mr. Hou made it worse day by day! Now Tianjin is being attacked by other gangs
Invasion, I'm afraid there will be chaos in Tianjin for a while!
In the following days, the entire Tianjin city began to become chaotic. There were countless petty thefts, and there were also many gangsters who came from other places to run rampant in and around Tianjin city, eating for nothing, extorting money, and doing everything.
Qian, but I want to turn Tianjin into my own territory!
And there was one of the largest conflicts, with more than 200 people! The conflict first started near the dock. It seemed that the Cangzhou Gang wanted to seize control of the dock, and the He Gang was blocking it!
But the Cangzhou Gang had so many people that they beat the He Gang back step by step! At this time, the people in the He Gang asked for help from their former companions, who were now working on the dock! Those who were asked for help were out of favor with their acquaintances.
Some people just throw punches and get involved!
But you still didn't save the He Gang's defeat! The two sides fought all the way into the city, and it wasn't until the He Gang retreated to the vicinity of their main altar that they held their position!
In this armed fight, the inspection personnel at the dock were also involved! Originally, they wanted to confess to the two sides, but they were inexplicably mistaken for opponents by both sides, and were attacked by both sides at the same time! As a result, many people were injured.
, and the injury is quite serious!
During the final count, they found that no one on their side was seriously injured or dead, but it was indeed necessary to recuperate for ten days and a half! As a result, Liu Haojia's local armed forces were completely wiped out!
It was quiet for a day afterwards, but all kinds of complaints about Liu Haojia became louder! "Aiming at the He Gang, foreign gangs were attracted, which is not as good as when the He Gang was there!"
"The money the tax collectors collected the first time was just to fool the court. The money they collect again should be theirs!"
Some people even say that Liu Haojia designed to imprison Magistrate Sun and forced the magistrate to pretend to be ill, just to mess up the situation and make it appear that Tianjin cannot do without him!
Many other strange rumors spread, causing people inside and outside the city to panic! Even the surrounding villages were affected! The village chiefs of each village organized young men to patrol along the village.
