History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 326
The next day, in the morning.

Office of the Commissioner of Police.

He Dingxian put down a check and said, "Sir Jian, the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce has a few fully loaded cargo ships going to sea to sell fruit in the Nanyang region, hoping to apply for a military escort."

"This check is a small gesture from the Chamber of Commerce."

Jian Baoning calculated in his mind, picked up the check, and saw the denomination of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, his expression became very cautious, and he said solemnly: "He sir, the Marine Police District submitted an escort plan half an hour ago. Are there not enough boats in the police district?"

"The sea is windy and rough, and no one thinks there are too many ships." He Dingxian said: "And the gap between military ships and police ships is huge. It is the best choice to ask the Royal Navy to escort."

The British army has two battleships, 1000 gunboats, and [-] torpedo boats stationed on Hong Kong Island. The Royal Navy has more than [-] troops and the Army has more than [-] personnel.It is wishful thinking to mobilize the navy to achieve some political goals, but spending money to hire the navy to go to sea under the name of escorting merchant ships is a well-known example.Of course, the position of police chief alone is not enough, and the governor needs to sign and approve it, but if you spend money on the Royal Navy and let the Royal Navy apply to the governor, the chances of success are very high.

"I'll try my best to help you." Jian Baoning was silent for a moment.

"Thank you, sir!"

He Dingxian got up and stood at attention, raised his hands in salute: "I still need to ask for half a month's leave, I hope the chief will approve it."

"no problem."

Jian Baoning said very straightforwardly.

Nanyang.

Jimei Island.

The water village of Tianbao thief has been in operation for more than ten years. It is quite large in scale. It has not only a special port for mooring, but also a fort on the coastline. Sandbags and stones are used to build bunkers and fortifications on the beach.

The residential houses on the island are distributed in a typical fishing village style, close to the fishing boat wharf, and there are fish rafts for mariculture.One or two thousand pirates gathered on an island and built a town. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

Xu Tianbao has a wealthy family, but he still wants to live on the island for a long time, and engage in the business of robbing cargo ships, not only because robbing merchant ships can make money quickly, but also because he controls everything in the towns and cities on the island.

Gambling stalls, brothels, smokehouses, restaurants.
The proceeds from these shops will eventually flow back into his pocket again, making money on the island and spending money on the island, and he wants to take it home.The whole water village is like a factory, generating income all the time, and the islands are just raw materials in the factory.

Sometimes, he even has the illusion that he is the emperor.

With such a force, a factory, who would give up easily?

In the lobby of a three-story tenement building, Cheng Changjie, the third master, said in a loud voice: "Brother Tianbao, there is a company in Malaysia that wants to accept the last batch of robbed white powder, but it needs to go to Malaysia in person. Sell?"

"Which company?" Xu Tianbao had dark skin, a black mandarin jacket, and a white turban. He had thick beard and a rough demeanor.Cheng Changjie said: "Malaysians' new Caili Group is backed by Umno, and its influence is not small."

"it is good."

Xu Tianbao nodded thoughtfully: "You go for me, and sell at [-]% of the market price, only gold."

"no problem."

Cheng Changjie nodded, turned and left.

Although Cheng Changjie is the third leader, he is not strong in the pirate group.Because, the big and small bosses in charge of the ships are all cronies trained by Xu Tianbao.He was just a former Chinese boss in Malaysia, who chartered a boat to do food business, until one day, all the food and boat fell into the hands of Tianbao thieves.

Xu Tianbao was struggling with a batch of cash that could not be exchanged into gold. Cheng Changjie had worked hard in the business world for more than 20 years and made many friends in various industries. .

For this reason, Xu Tianbao also kidnapped Cheng Changjie's wife and children to go to the island, and made a special trip to let him kill his family with his own hands, so he gave up thinking about it.The rules of survival among pirates and bandits are far bloodier than those described in movies and stories.Only those who have lost their conscience and have nowhere to go can be trusted.Of course, all the pirates on the island have women and children, even Xu Tianbao will contact the snakehead specifically to buy women for his brothers to play with.But the family before going to the island must become a sacrifice for the name certificate!
Later, Cheng Changjie brought people in charge of selling the goods, contacting buyers, purchasing arms and other matters.His influence in Xu Tianbao has indeed grown, but he is only a wage earner in name only, and his real power is far inferior to that of Hong Yongcheng who was killed on Hong Kong Island.

Xu Tianbao was very willing to give higher seats to those who came later to recruit talents, but the ships and men under his hands were firmly in his hands.

After Cheng Changjie left, Zhao Wencai, one of the Eight King Kongs, clasped his fists and said: "Brother Tianbao, Jiang Tianyang's reputation in Nanyang has risen, and it is said that he is very appreciated by the leaders of the Labor Front. Umno and the Labor Front are also political allies."

"This batch of goods was intercepted from Jiang Tianyang. Could it be that the company in Malaysia is waiting for us to come?"

Xu Tianbao sneered: "Yes!"

"Why not?"

"But it doesn't matter. He Dingxian is about to commit suicide in person. If He Dingxian is killed, Jiang Tianyang's group will disperse in a rush." ​​This sentence immediately shocked the faces of the leaders present, it was incredible: "The policemen on Hong Kong Island Can lead troops to Nanyang?"

"Dry!"

"Are they flying over?"

Xu Tianbao didn't change his expression, drank his wine and said: "They have already communicated with the Hongqi gang, but they don't know that there are people from me in the Hongqi gang who want to use the Hongqi gang to drive away the wolf? I will set up a game and let him come There is no place to bury the dead in Nanyang."

"On the shore of Hong Kong Island, what he says counts, but when it comes to the waters of Southeast Asia, what I say counts!"

Zhao Wencai's eyes lit up, and he said proudly: "No wonder the eldest brother wants to send someone to congratulate He Dingxian, hahaha, the method of provoking generals, don't be afraid of him coming, even if he doesn't come."

Xu Tianbao nodded: "After He Dingxian dies, we will take his place, kill Jiang Tianyang, and then take over Yiqun to control the white powder business from Southeast Asia to Nanyang. There are more and more merchant ships on the sea, and there are also more and more warships patrolling the sea. There will be more, and life on the water will not be so easy in the future. Brothers want to continue to enjoy happiness, they have to go to the shore, but who will give up the business on the shore for no reason? Get rid of He Dingxian and we will have it on the shore Got a foothold?"

Although Xu Tianbao's ideas are very wild, and he doesn't intend to seek Zhengxing's whitewashing at all, but his vision is accurate, and he has been operating in Nanyang for more than ten years, and the intelligence network is indeed not comparable to He Dingxian's remote control.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. Whether intentionally or not, Xu Tianbao has been pushing He Dingxian to come to sea to beat him.Of course, the feud with He Dingxian because of working for the Customs Department was indeed the beginning of the conflict between the two.

"I've already set up the Dragon Gate Formation, it's up to him whether he dares to break through!" Xu Tianbao sneered.As for the batch of white powder in the warehouse, as long as they are sold, the final payment of a thousand-ton cargo ship in Mitsubishi Shipyard can be settled, and by then, relying on this cargo ship, they can earn hundreds of thousands more every year.

This group of pirates would not only rob merchant ships, but also help people do some cargo and smuggling businesses.

Singapore, pier.

Jiang Tianyang was wearing a suit and led more than 20 young horses. They all bowed to the people who got off the boat: "Mr. He."

"Mr. He."

He Dingxian, in a suit and leather shoes, took the lead and led Chen Zichao, Yan Xiong and other subordinates down the passenger ship along the gangway.Since the Singapore airport has not yet been completed, Hong Kong Island can only go to Nanyang by sea, so He Dingxian had to take the risk of arriving in Nanyang first.

No one informed before departure, and Fang asked someone to call Jiang Tianyang when he was approaching the port.

At this time, he stood in front of Jiang Tianyang, looked him up and down, nodded approvingly and said: "Tianyang, you are very energetic!"

Apart from some acne scars on his face, Jiang Tianyang is wide and fat, fair and clean, and seems to be living a good life.

"Thank you, big boss, for your compliment." He smiled foolishly, raised his hand in a very humble way, and said, "It's been a tough journey, big boss, please get in the car, and have a meal at the hotel first, and I will introduce you to the situation in Nanyang while eating. "

"no problem."

He Dingxian nodded and took people into the car, and the luxury convoy parked at the pier quickly left the scene.

two hours later.

In a high-end restaurant, He Dingxian put down his chopsticks and said aloud: "Xu Tianbao must have a lot of eyeliners in Nanyang. Since I am here, I should move rather than be quiet, and should be fast rather than slow. I will pick two hundred club brothers at night and bring weapons." , ready to set off for Meiji Island with me."

"I am in a hurry to burn paper money for Xu Tianbao."

Jiang Tianyang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the boss moved so fast, but it seemed that the boss was well prepared, so he immediately nodded and said: "No problem, I will arrange the ships for transporting people, but Yiqun only has merchant ships in Nanyang. "

"It's all over."

He Dingxian smiled and said: "The brothers are just going to clean up the battlefield, can we really expect them to rush to the beach and fight at sea?"

Jiang Tianyang lowered his head in embarrassment. In fact, pirates may not be better trained than triads. However, people's names and trees' shadows, it is indeed difficult for horses who are begging for a living on the shore to fight pirates.

"Hehe, what are you doing?"

He Dingxian looked at Jiang Tianyang's appearance and said with a smile: "It's no surprise that the members of the Hongqi Gang have already set off for the Nansha Islands. If you don't organize people to set off, you won't even be able to see the fireworks at night."

"If you feel that your strength is not enough, it's very simple. After defeating Xu Tianbao, I will leave the rest of the ships to you. How do you feel?"

Jiang Tianyang was taken aback for a moment, and then the word "raise the bandits' self-respect" appeared in his mind. If Yiqun could replace Xu Tianbao at sea, there would be no need to commit crimes and robbery at all, and only need to help the society smuggle and transport goods. Enough to stir up the power of Nanyang.

First of all, Hong Kong Island and Nanyang are connected in a line, and the water and shore are connected together, and the regional situation will be revitalized.Even if the big boss loses power on Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong government would not dare to do anything to him just looking at Nanyang's strength.Because Nanyang has begun to break away from Great Britain's control, Great Britain must increase its "benefits" to those who have control over Nanyang, so as to prevent the situation in Nanyang from further collapse.

It turned out that the big boss sent troops to Nanyang and took personal risks, not only for personal revenge, but also for a longer-term consideration of the overall situation.At that time, he will also join the upper class in Nanyang and become an important boss.Jiang Tianyang was shocked, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, He Sheng."
