Modern green gang in green gang

Green gang originated from grain transportation, so it spread in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, due to the rise of shipping and the decline of water transport, a large number of green gang disciples entered Shanghai to engage in various industries. At that time, 80% of Shanghai workers were members of secret associations, with green gang accounting for the largest proportion. Because of the particularity of Shanghai, the concession and the revolutionary party often need green gang's help. During the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, Dai Li also needed to use green gang for intelligence work. As a result, green gang's power became more and more powerful, and many members of the revolutionary party and Hong Men also invested in green gang. Huang, Du, Chen and China, the "Big Three" in Shanghai, were all born in green gang. Green gang is mainly distributed in Taiwan Province Province, and a legal association "China Huaan Pro-Association" has been established. Many people in the military, police and entertainment circles are disciples of green gang. In some cities in the United States, green gangs also have some influence.

Green gang, because of his little help, has the image of dying. There are mainly problems in inheritance. According to the rules of ancient green gang, a master must learn from the teacher for three years and learn the rules and regulations for one year, totaling seven years, before he can join the club. In the era of transporting grain, a disciple's character must undergo strict examination and pass the tests at different levels before he can officially enter the family. After the trial, he can be fragrant and finally become an apprentice. However, during the * * * war, many predecessors were limited by the problem of time and space, scrambling to accept disciples and eager to pass on incense. Many Buddhist masters who have been at home for less than three years don't even know the method of recognizing relatives, let alone the method of practicing Taoism and teaching disciples. Because of the war, many rules and regulations remained in Chinese mainland, so Master didn't know what to teach his disciples, and ordinary people didn't know what they could learn after entering the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, they can't reach the threshold. Green gang doesn't have to take an apprentice for seven years, but at least he should find out if he is a correct believer.

Green gang's leaders are different, and the rules and regulations are different, so they can't be unified, and the roads and lanes across the gang can't match. There are different opinions among the masters, and some even question that a gang leader can't unite in the end, which makes the Qing disciples at a loss and difficult to prosper. 1. (Excerpted from Hang San Gang-Genpai Dai Zong): green gang was originally named Anqing Gang, and it was found out that Zhu Yuanzhang's Longxing place was originally Zhujiagang, Fengyang, Anhui Province, where there were two clubs, Zhu Anshe and Zhu Qingshe; Green gang named Luzu after the gang. Qingganlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, transported grain in the Tang Dynasty, and joined the Anqing Gang. Only after obtaining three gangs and nine generations did I know the true meaning of Anqing gang, which turned out to be anti-Qing and regaining sight. Yuling changed her name to Ann green gang, otherwise it would be regarded as a reactionary crime. At that time, the seniors who led the gang all pretended to be snakes, but they were afraid that they would be passed on to the afterlife and lose their original purpose. On the surface, they were loyal to the Manchu dynasty, but once they warned the gang that the rules should be respected and remembered, they implied the consciousness of opposing the Qing dynasty and restoring the national revolution, which was flawless on the surface. Emperor Qianlong and Qin Ci made a panlong stick, thinking it was a family law, and the words "kill without forgiveness" were engraved on it. Therefore, there are two methods in green gang, one is Buddha board, and the other is panlong stick. To this day, green gang has opened a incense hall, and these two family laws will be used in the classroom.

2. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Jiang Zhongzheng, a military member of the National Government, was an enlightened generation in the 23rd generation of green gang. As he was promoted to Military Commissioner (the highest military commander of the National Government), he replied to the invitation in order to avoid gossip and respect his position as the central military commander. Later, he also used Du's strength to fight against Japan, and inscribed the word Zhao Yu on Du's tomb as proof. Among them, there are two factions. One faction is the main gang, which is composed of Wenzhou and Taizhou people in eastern Zhejiang. One is the Hakka gang, which is composed of people from northern Anhui and Jiangbei, also known as the Chaohu gang.

There's a ritual rule in the gang. Different generations accept disciples according to their generations. For a long time, they maintained the status of feudal gangs in canal transportation and asked their members to "help the funeral and marriage, help the poor and help the poor", thus winning the support of the majority of grain ship sailors and the lower class. Later, due to the change of grain transportation, most of the sailors of grain carriers lost their jobs, so they became homeless gangs at trading ports in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, such as Shanghai and Tianjin, with the aim of "secretly selling salt or evading taxes". Its members are becoming more and more complex. In addition to bankrupt farmers, unemployed craftsmen and rogue proletarians, many demobilized soldiers and brave soldiers joined in, and a few landlords and gentry also joined in and made extensive contacts in the lower classes of society. During the Revolution of 1911, green gang established the China Progressive Association in Shanghai. 19 13 was employed by Yuan Shikai and assassinated Song. From 1920 to 1930, the influence developed rapidly. There are five factions, namely, People's Society, Rong Society, Heng Society, Zhong Xing Society and Jiangbei Gang. The main characters are Huang, Du, and are called "Big Three". Some green gang leaders colluded with warlords and politicians, recruited disciples, occupied one side, opened casinos and brothels, sold drugs, kidnapped and extorted money, and divided the spoils on the ground; Some people use their huge wealth to invest in industry and commerce. These people are arrogant, crazy, illegal and harmful to the local area. On Zhang Xiaolin's 50th birthday, Huang's Huangjia Garden (now Shanghai Guilin Park) and Du's Dujia Temple were completed, which became a "grand ceremony" that sensationalized Shanghai at that time. 1927 was used by Chiang Kai-shek to take part in the April 12th counter-revolutionary massacre, tricked the chairman of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions into Du's house and killed him, and instructed hooligans to pretend to be workers and attack the Shanghai workers' picket from the concession. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Japanese secret service also used green gang to organize traitor activities. Green gang has dominated Shanghai gangs for decades, and another important reason is that they are very good at swinging among various political forces.

After the Revolution of 1911, Kuomintang people traveled back and forth to Shanghai, using gang relations to cover their activities. At that time, many Kuomintang backbones, such as Chen, were gang leaders, and they didn't have to ask Huang for anything. However, in the early 1920s, Chen was assassinated, others were publicly identified, pursued by the military and police, or concentrated on political activities and alienated from gangs, which greatly inconvenienced the Kuomintang. At this time, Huang's power was booming, so the Kuomintang people turned to it. When Chiang Kai-shek was dormant in Shanghai, he found Yu Qiaqing to make a living. Danger someone look on the face of the deceased Chen, finally some support. But Yu Qiaqing is a busy man, and he doesn't want to pay more. Jiang had to put down the shelf of the former revolutionary army chief, put on his old suit and do speculative business with Chen's nephew Chen. 1920 In July, Yu Qiaqing founded the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and introduced the small staff who crossed the line when Chiang Kai-shek declared the market on the exchange. In communication, many businessmen are hooligans, accustomed to relying on less and relying on more, and things that are both hard and soft often happen. In order to gain a firm foothold in communication, Chiang Kai-shek introduced Huang as a proté gé, and Huang accepted the red post. On another auspicious day, a ceremony was held to formally accept Chiang Kai-shek as a missionary.

Since Chiang Kai-shek worshipped Huang as an "old man", no one dared to bully him again. Soon, with the support of others, he started his own business, opened a Hengtai brokerage firm, became a stockbroker, and raised money for Sun Yat-sen. 192 1 At the end of the year, a financial storm broke out in Shanghai, and Hengtai brokerage company suffered serious losses. Jiang himself was in debt of several thousand yuan. As a result, Huang came forward to settle for him and funded Chiang Kai-shek to go to Guangzhou to defect to Sun Yat-sen.

There is a legend in the gang that Chiang Kai-shek got the money, but instead of going to the dock, he advanced to the casino and lost all his money, so he had to go back to Huangzhai. Seeing that he was ashamed to say goodbye to the old man, he wandered at the door and was seen by Ye Zhuosan, the leader of the "small stereotyped writing". Why did you ask him why? He was invited to bid farewell to Huang and received 300 yuan as a travel fund. They were afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would gamble with his bald head again, saying that Yuzryha would buy tickets for him and give him money after sending him aboard.

Later, Du Fu and others, who made their debut, followed Huang's example and sought supporters within the Kuomintang. In this way, this gang has woven one protective net after another for itself and gradually developed.

With the prosperity of gangs, the prosperity of various undertakings engaged in by gangs is particularly eye-catching. We call these activities "black industries", including smoking, gambling, prostitution and other illegal activities.

Sanxin Company, controlled by the green gang tycoon, controls tens of thousands of cigarette shops and retail stores, forming a huge group. However, Huang and others did not personally ask about the specific management and operation of the tobacco museum and local banks, and they were all at their own risk. Sanxin Company only collects insurance premiums and taxes on a monthly basis. The main economic sources of the company are Huang, Du and others. It is like a huge vampire, constantly absorbing money from the vast number of opium addicts and supplying them to the gang members for profligacy. It also provided a large amount of funds to help Huang and Du enter all walks of life in order to gain greater power. Around 1926, Liu and Zheng finally broke up because of uneven distribution of spoils. First, Zheng Meitang ordered his disciples to assassinate Liu in the public concession. Liu's wife and her disciples immediately fought back with all their might. /kloc-Zheng Meitang was killed in Hongkou within 0/3 days. This "Liang Hongmei Hall Murder" was a sensation in Shanghai that year.

Gangs are also involved in prostitution, and there are two kinds of collusion. First, brothels and prostitutes are under house arrest and the protection of local tyrants and evil forces. Later, some gangsters in Shanghai made a fortune and started brothels on their own. 193 1 year, the owner of the Great World Playground died of illness, and the Great World was taken over by Huang. In collusion with Du Fu and others, Huang quickly opened a number of casinos, brothels and hotels around the world, forming a gold sales cave centered on the world. All kinds of prostitutes also use the big world to pull business. But most gang leaders mainly act as protectors of brothels and prostitutes. At that time, there were hundreds of brothels in Shanghai's Simalu and Lehui, and each brothel had one or several "turtle melons" as bodyguards and thugs to help pimps manage prostitutes. These people and brothel owners have to join gangs.

The second way for gangs to collude with brothels is to provide backup prostitutes for brothel owners through traffickers. Generally speaking, a woman who lives a life of selling meat is always beautiful and fleeting because of being ravaged, and her youth is short. Inferior prostitutes, in particular, have been ravaged and their professional age is more limited. Therefore, the brothel owner should always keep an eye on finding beautiful women and try to make up for it. And those who can provide them with "goods" in large quantities on a regular basis are mainly gang members who make a living by trafficking in human beings. Gang trafficking in human beings provides fresh blood for brothels, promotes the prosperity of prostitution, and also provides new opportunities for gangs to make a fortune.

Gangs are engaged in many businesses, among which organized criminal activities that are often discussed are pickpocketing, dock gang activities, dung tyrants and so on. At the same time, gangs still hang "legal" signs, but they are engaged in illegal activities such as smoking, gambling and prostitution, which can be called "gray" industries.

The above-mentioned gangs and their organizational activities were mainly carried out around Shanghai (green gang), on the one hand, because Shanghai was the national gang center at that time, on the other hand, its organizational activities were quite representative. Before liberation, there were many gangs all over the country, such as Paoge, Zodiac Society, Anqing General Association and Sichuan Red Gang. Under certain circumstances, they are all rogue organizations with different scales and organizational characteristics, so it is difficult to elaborate. Representatives of Fengtian (from Shenyang): (green gang 2 1 generation, 48 years old), Wang (green gang 2 1 generation, 55 years old), Zhang Xinfu (green gang 2 1 generation, 44 years old) and Zu Xianting (green gang 22 generation, 48 years old).

Representatives of Xinjing (Changchun): Lv Wanbin (green gang 2 1 generation, 60 years old) and Chang Yuqing (green gang 22 generation, 49 years old).

Yingkou Representative: Hao (green gang, 55 years old).

Harbin Representative: Zhao (green gang, 63 years old).

Representative of Fakumen: Yang Yushan (green gang, 55 years old). Ye Ping Wuqi, Iwasaki Kenta, Yoshimura Zheng Zhi. Almost like green gang in the mainland, green gang in the northeast is also combined according to the principle of imitating kinship. The word "Zi" or "Dai" indicates the identity and relationship of members. They belong to "Gang", such as "Wuxing Six", "Wuxing Four", "Jiahaiwei", "Jianghuai Division", "Jiabai" and "Hangsan". The "gang" here is similar to the "house" in the clan system The last words of the first 24 generations were "big", "communication", "enlightenment" and "learning" respectively.

Among the members of the delegation 10, there are 4 "Da" (21), 5 "Tong" (22) and 5 "Wu" (23) 1 person. If we compare with the green gang tycoons in Shanghai at that time, we can know that all the people except/kloc-0 belong to the next generation of "enlightenment". The above-mentioned Japanese members visiting green gang not only have their own influence in Northeast China, but also have more or less ties with mainland green gang. For example, the chief representative of Zhang's delegation to China (also known as Feng Jinguo, sixth from the left in the front row) claimed to be the "General Representative of Manchukuo Interior", and once served as a major general in the Japanese army, and Zhang Zongchang worshipped King green gang XX as a teacher. Wang, a native of many counties in Shandong Province, is said to be a Catholic and has many disciples in Beijing and Tianjin.

Chang Yuqing (second from the right in the front row) and Su Beiren, the 22nd generation of big shots, used to be the "foreman" of a Japanese factory in Shanghai. 1932 In May, after the "November 28th Incident", Chang Yuqing and Hu Lifu organized a pro-Japanese "Citizens' Maintenance Meeting" in Zhabei, for which Hu was assassinated by Kuomintang agents in Shanghai. Often afraid to stay in Shanghai and stay away from Dalian. Chang Yuqing has lived in Dalian for more than five years. Often can get ahead in green gang, master cao.

Green gang's connections helped him. Cao is a native of Shandong and has lived in Shanghai for a long time. He is a famous green gang figure in Shanghai, and there are many disciples and grandchildren among Shandong immigrants in the northeast. I often go back to Shanghai on 1937 and 12, and organize "Zodiac Society" with Japanese ronin to assassinate anti-Japanese patriots. 1938, "An Qing Tuan" was often established in Nanjing. 1946 May, sentenced to death for treason. There is nothing in the indictment about his activities in northeast China. 193 1 year, the Japanese Kwantung Army launched the "September 18th Incident" and quickly occupied the three northeastern provinces. Faced with the great changes in the political map of Northeast China, the above-mentioned green gang bosses claimed that green gang was a Buddhist organization and expressed their willingness to be loyal to the rule of the Japanese Kwantung Army. And green gang's social influence has also attracted the attention of the Japanese.

1933 In March, a China ronin named Sakai Rongzang established the "Great Manchukuo Justice Corps" in Shenyang. Sakai was ambitious and tried to expand the organization with the help of green gang's network, which was once quite influential. The Puppet Manchukuo Justice Group called on green gang to respond to its call and establish a "cooperative relationship" with Zu Xianting of green gang, Lv Wanbin and Chang Chun of green gang, Shenyang, and the general representative of the Puppet Manchukuo. The so-called "cooperative relationship" is actually just a cover for the Daman Justice Corps to use green gang, and the reason why the members of the Daman Justice Corps joined green gang is just a means to absorb and use green gang. It is based on this relationship that a few months later, members of the "Greater Manchukuo Justice Corps" lobbied Kwantung Army and staged a scene of green gang's visit to Japan.

Green gang's representative's visit to Japan is related to a Japanese named Miyagi Jiuwei. It turns out that Miyagi once served as the leader of the Japanese cavalry. After leaving the army, he successively served as "Integration Minister of Tokyo Social Undertakings Association" and "Director of Central Integration Undertakings Association", specializing in the placement of Japanese "tribesmen". In Japan, "Burakumin" is a ethnic group that suffers from social and political discrimination. After Meiji Restoration, the fate of "tribesmen" has not changed after Japan achieved the goal of modern nation-state integration. After Japan invaded the northeast, the military department decided to move a large number of "tribesmen" to the northeast. Japan is worried that "tribesmen" who are discriminated against in Japan will also be discriminated against by China people after they immigrate to the northeast of China, so it entrusts the Palace Office to investigate the possibility.

At that time, the Japanese Kwantung Army was considering how to integrate China society while advancing the plan of occupying Northeast China. Chen Pu, an advocate of the idea of "harmony among the five ethnic groups" in the Puppet Manchukuo, suggested that the Kwantung military authorities learn from the practice of the Shanghai Concession. By protecting and transforming green gang, we can control workers and deal with bandits (including hooligans). Going further than the Orange Orchard is Mo Guang Gao Yi, the author of zhina Secret Society and Charity Association, who thinks that green gang can be reorganized into a "political party". Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Miyagi to investigate in Northeast China and look to green gang.

After Miyagi arrived in the northeast, he met two Japanese. One is Kenta Iwasaki. Jiu Qi graduated from Shanghai East Asia Wentong College and worked in the police department of the Puppet Manchukuo. After 1997, Miyagi got to know Ye Ping May 7th again. Ye Ping is a ronin from the mainland, a member of green gang, and a member of the "Greater Manchukuo Justice Corps". As a result, Ping Ye Muqi lobbied Kwantung Army through the Palace Hall, and soon got the permission of the Green Gang's "legal" activities, and formed a green gang organization called "Quiet Gay Club". Its purpose is to incorporate Northeast green gang (2.5 million people) into the "Greater Manchukuo Justice Corps". In this way, green gang, which did not have a "legal" status during the rule of the Northeast Warlord Zhang, gained a "legal" status under Japanese rule. Moreover, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, under the lobbying of three people, agreed to sponsor a delegation from green gang to visit Japan, so that Japanese representatives could receive colonial education from the Japanese Empire, "with a view to supporting them in the future".

However, after staying in Japan for 10, the green gang delegation was suddenly ordered to dissolve and was not allowed to move freely in Tokyo. A line only returns to the northeast in several batches. The grand welcoming ceremony just started, why did it end in such a hurry? As for the reason, it is said that a man named Yoshii Kiyoshi used the Japanese delegation to pursue fame and gain, while Jiuqi, Ye Ping and others privately misappropriated the funds paid by the Kwantung Army about 1500 yuan. However, the real reason does not seem to be here. The Japanese Lu Haijun apparently got a report from other aspects, and found that the delegation to China, which was highly recommended by the Kwantung Army and regarded as a religious group, turned out to be green gang, a notorious "secret society" in the history of China. This is a big joke. Therefore, we have to order the dissolution of the delegation on the pretext that several Japanese tour guides of the delegation have misbehaved.

Japanese scholar Hiroichi Nomura once said, "Modern Japanese history is the history of China's failure in understanding". From the events tracked in this paper, it can be seen that the Japanese understanding of the complexity of China's history and reality before the war was far from as high as that estimated by general theorists. On the contrary, due to strong subjective prejudice, his understanding of China often shows shallowness and ignorance out of the context of China. The little-known incident of green gang's delegation to Japan can be described as an example.
