The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 723: The transformation of the gang into a legal one Qi Jiguang: Almost the same as the Japanese pirates!
The Ming plane.

After Liu Ji finished reading the content about the Tiandihui on the screen, his eyebrows and eyes were already wrinkled.

As a founding hero who had personally supported Zhu Yuanzhang in establishing the Ming Dynasty, he was very familiar with this phenomenon.

In any dynasty, where the ruling power weakens, alternative civilian forces will inevitably emerge.

The existence of these dark forces precisely illustrates the vacuum in official rule.

Wherever the government cannot manage, there will inevitably be civil groups to fill the gap.

These organizations often use various banners, but in fact they are performing the duties of the government.

The difficulties faced by the Qing court were no different from those faced by previous dynasties.

He understood this when he assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in conquering the world.

No matter how powerful a dynasty is, there will always be blind spots that cannot be managed.

This also shows that it was inevitable that the rulers of the Qing Dynasty would eventually become corrupt and perish.

And a dynasty that will never collapse may only exist in the dreams of rulers of successive generations.

【As the Qing government cracked down on the Tiandihui increasingly severely. 】

【A large number of congregants began to move to Hong Kong Island for refuge.】

【In this new land. 】

They reorganized.

【Renamed to Triad.】

[The new group soon discovered.]

[A strict organizational structure designed to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. ]

[It also works well in the underground society. ]

【Members help each other. 】

【Not only can we keep each other warm. 】

【They can also take care of each other in all walks of life. 】

[Even monopolizing certain specific industries. ]

【There is something even worse. 】

【Started to engage in illegal business such as smuggling. 】

【The existence of such an organization.】

【It also has a special appeal to ordinary people. 】

[Because joining an organization means having someone to back you up.]

【Don’t worry about being bullied. 】

[It is also easier to find a job. ]

【So more and more ordinary people began to join this organization. 】

【And the Hong Kong government at that time. 】

【We have adopted a tacit attitude towards this phenomenon.】

[Because these gangs, to some extent, have assumed the responsibility of grassroots management.]

【They will mediate disputes and maintain market order.】

[We even manage labor disputes! ]

[This is equivalent to sharing a lot of governance work with the government. ]

[And the government only needs to pay very little administrative costs. ]

【It can maintain the stability of grassroots society. 】

[This tacit relationship was maintained for a long time.]

【A special social ecology has been formed.】

After reading what was on the skylight, Heshen sneered in his heart.

Although he is greedy by nature, he has a very thorough understanding of the nature of power-for-money transactions.

These foreign rulers simply changed their ways of plundering the people.

On the surface, the triads are asked to maintain order, but in reality they are too lazy to spend manpower and resources to manage it.

Although he was corrupt when he was an official in the court, he at least pretended to do something for the people.

And these rulers are too lazy to even put on a show.

How ridiculous it is to let the gangs directly manage the people!

【China in the 20th century ushered in tremendous changes. 】

[This change also had a profound impact on the development of the triads.]

【With the fall of the old dynasty. 】

【Those triad members who truly have the ambition to serve their country. 】

【They returned to the mainland to participate in the revolutionary cause.】

【And those who stayed in Hong Kong Island. 】

[Most of them are speculators who come for money.]

[This fundamentally changed the nature of the triads.]

【In the following decades. 】

[Another large number of people poured into Hong Kong Island.]

[They soon became the new backbone of the Triad.]

【In the fifties.】

【The Triads have completely become gangsters.】

【Completely lost the original ideals and beliefs. 】

【They began to get involved in various criminal activities.】

【As long as it is a profitable business. 】

【They accept everyone who comes. 】

[Various gangs compete for interests. ]

【Bloody clashes often occurred.】

【Street fights occur from time to time.】

【Finally in 1956.】

[The accumulated contradictions have completely erupted.]

【The entire Hong Kong Island fell into chaos.】

[In the streets and alleys.] [Gangs were fighting everywhere.]

[Shops were smashed.]

【The vehicle was burned.】

【Ordinary people are in a state of panic.】

【The whole city fell into panic.】

【Gang fights.】

[It lasted for nine full days.]

[Dozens of people were killed and hundreds were injured.]

[A large number of shops were forced to close.]

[The market was paralyzed for a time.]

【This turmoil.】

[It became the biggest public security incident in Hong Kong Island since the war. ]

[It also marks the complete transformation of the triad.]

【From the beginning, it was a civil organization that maintained order. 】

【It turned into a complete criminal gang.】

After reading this passage, Qi Jiguang couldn't help but become furious.

During the glorious years when the eastern Zhejiang coast was fighting against Japanese pirates, he led the Qi family army and was able to defeat a hundred enemies with one man!

No matter how ferocious the enemy is, they will have to submit to his musket team.

However, these so-called soldiers have fallen into the trap of associating with thugs and gangsters.

He had led his troops to wipe out many bandits.

We detest this kind of oppression of the people.

Nowadays, these people do not think about serving the country, but instead bully the weak!

Such behavior was no different from the Japanese pirates he had seen in his life!

【As the times change. 】

[These gangs are also beginning to seek transformation. ]

【They gradually turned their attention to the legal business field.】

[On the surface, it is seeking legitimate development. ]

[In fact, it still continues the old pattern of violent expansion. ]

[This is particularly evident in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.]

【In the 1970s.】

[The career trajectories of many popular female stars. ]

【Suddenly, an inexplicable turn of events occurs. 】

[Some were forced to take on some vulgar films.]

[Some inexplicably faded off the screen. ]

【Behind these events. 】

【There is often a shadow of gang forces. 】

【They used threats and blackmail.】

【Controls the entire entertainment industry. 】

【Many artists were forced to comply.】

[Some people even regret it for the rest of their lives. ]

This violent intervention.

[This eventually sparked a rebellion in the entire entertainment industry.]

【Many stars unite. 】

【Take to the streets to protest gang violence.】

【Request to restore peace to the entertainment industry. 】

【However, the situation has not improved. 】

【On the contrary, it intensified after 1984. 】

【Because the British Empire gave in during the negotiations. 】

【Agree to return this land.】

[This gave some gangsters an opportunity.]

【They believe that there is a vacuum during the transfer of power. 】

【It is the best time to expand your power. 】

【So they intensified their violent rule.】

【Trying to do it before the handover. 】

【Seize the last wave of profits. 】

【Turning the entire entertainment industry upside down. 】

【Many artists had to leave their hometown. 】

【In order to protect themselves. 】

Southern Song Dynasty plane.

After reading what was posted on the sky curtain, Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but feel extremely sad and angry.

As the last loyal minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, he would rather die than surrender in order to safeguard the last dignity of Chinese civilization.

However, these people are doing evil things on this land and have no moral bottom line at all!

After he was captured, the Yuan army tried to tempt him in every way, promising him high positions and generous salaries, but he remained unmoved.

Nowadays, these people, for their own selfish interests, wantonly bully the weak and bring chaos to the entire industry!

In the anti-Yuan battlefield back then, those soldiers who would rather die than surrender were all ready to defend national dignity to the death.

These gangsters actually rely on threats and extortion to make huge profits, which is a disgrace to Chinese civilization.

The "Song of Righteousness" he wrote in prison was to praise the national integrity throughout the ages.

The philosopher’s days are long gone, but the model still exists in the past!
What he hated most were those villains who betrayed the dignity of the nation.

What these gangsters are doing nowadays is even more outrageous.

Using intimidation to coerce those innocent artists, how is this different from the power of the Mongols back then? !
