Thank you for the hard work of Bingli Shizuo Daji netizens!!

1895 was not a very important year in history. There was nothing particularly noteworthy in this year, and there were few things that made everyone excited in the headlines in the newspaper. Of course, this was only limited to the United States. The war between the two uncivilized countries in Asia was completely over. Surprisingly, the seemingly powerful China was defeated by the tiny Japan, but it doesn't matter who wins or loses for the United States.

The winter of Los Angeles in 1895 was particularly cold, and the snow had fallen for more than one day. The whole city was covered with heavy snow. Everyone on the streets wrapped their clothes and shuttled through the wind and snow. The only exception was the children who like snow. Whether it was children who played snowball fights or children who made snowmen, they could see innocent smiles on their faces. The heavy snow for a few days forced most public schools to take holidays to prevent accidents. Most ordinary people obviously had to let their children be alone for work. The large-scale development of the West Coast in the United States made the entire West Coast the fastest-growing area on the American continent. Countless factories and enterprises were established here.

Lincoln Street, a street name that can appear in almost all cities in the United States. In front of a window in a considerable house, a middle-aged man was watching the heavy snow outside. The man was not tall but it made people look like he could only stay away from him, and absolutely no intention of being close. But at this time, the man's face showed a hint of undetectable anxiety. The hall behind the man was clean and simple, with a completely different decoration from the appearance of the whole house. Only the white bear skin on the ground made people re-evaluate the status and wealth of the owner of the house.

"Sir, my wife said she was going to come back from Florida. What do you think?" asked a humble butler.

"No need. Los Angeles is so cold this winter, otherwise she wouldn't have been so far away. Let her spend the winter in the south and come back."

The man didn't look back and said to the butler

"Did the young master continue to stay in the south and not come back to spend the winter?

"No, the child is coming back. After all, this place will be his in the future. He can't leave his territory in winter. Men and women are different."

"Yes, sir." The butler said and bowed and left the room.

The man turned around at this time

"God knows whether this child can accept such a lot of pressure. Maybe it's better to stay in Florida than in Los Angeles. Who knows?"...

A week later, a boy who was just under 10 years old walked out of the private room.

"William, my father didn't come to pick me up this time." The boy asked.

"The gentleman did not come this time. He said that there are some important things in the family that need to be dealt with today." The butler saw disappointment in the child's eyes.

"Okay, I'm back home. Finally, I've come back from that place that is not cold in winter. I still like places where there is snow in winter."

The boy stretched his waist and said, although his disappointment was nothing in the eyes of the housekeeper, he still hoped that his father could pick him up in his heart. After all, he had been away from Los Angeles for more than 6 years. This kind of family cold war is very unfortunate for a child who is in his growing stage...

If there is really a saying of reincarnation, I'm afraid Wang Hua is this lucky person. Of course, this is just a matter of less chance than the 5 million prize. For Wang Hua, who has passed 30 years old, it is a pain. According to the news in 2005, a city has only more missing people. However, for Wang Hua, who has already started a family and a career, it almost means that he has lost everything. He was originally just a ban on swimming area, but who knew he was sucked into the bottom of the lake by the whirlpool. When he woke up, he was just sucked into the bottom of the lake by the whirlpool.

When I came, I found that everything had become completely different. I became another person, not even Chinese, and it was obvious that this was not in 2005. It was not until a year later that Wang Hua fully understood that this was the United States in 1886. His current identity was the son of Farlan, the eldest son of the Irish Gang, the largest gangster in Los Angeles, USA, or rather the only son, and his cheap mother was the eldest daughter of the boss of the Kalmatt family in Florida. Wang, who has a lot of research on the history and history of social and economic development.

I don't know if Huaer has such an identity as God's compensation for him. But just when Wang Hua was shocked, he looked at his cheap parents, his mother actually asked to take him back to his hometown in Florida to train him to become a southern noble, rather than those machines on the East Coast who only know how to work and make money. In the end, for this matter, the family civil war inevitably broke out. Flan was the one who compromised in the end. After all, he also understood that working hard on the West Coast was far from his time with his fists, and there was a southern family.

Support may not be a good thing. In this way, poor Wang Hua spent the same year in the bright sunshine of Florida. The various strange etiquette and education of the southern aristocratic families also made Wang Hua, who was already called Falcao, extremely painful to study. At this time, Wang Hua finally found something more terrifying than the high school and the college entrance examination, that is, the education of the southern family. However, he was finally able to leave Florida at the age of 10, but he was also disappointed for a long time. After all, he was finally going to say goodbye to the beach and the bright sunshine...

In 1897, the Norman Farlanes purchased a large tract of land in the Bronx District of New York and became one of the largest real estate owners in New York due to the merger of New York City in 1898. This represents the expansion of the Farlanes from the West Coast to the East Coast.

In 1898, due to the Norman Fran family's support for the United States in the Spanish-American War (having mastered almost all the important propaganda tools of the United States, including helping Cuba escape from Spain's "colonial rule". The US government announced that the Norman Fran family would have considerable priority in the development of Cuba and the Philippines. As a result, the Norman Fran family and the Cooper family almost monopolized the export of agricultural products and the import of industrial products of Cuba and the Philippines.

On January 21, 1899, the Norman Farlan family announced a joint venture to build Opel Company, and in the same year, the Fiat Norman Company was jointly established in Turin, Italy. In 1903, it jointly established the Ford Norman Automobile Company with American Ford.

In 1904, taking advantage of the opportunity of the United States to invade control of the Panama Canal, the Norman Farlan family had the power to expand the canal and also participated in the US banking industry. The Norman Farlan family gradually got rid of the American underworld and became an important economic consortium family in the United States. Of course, this transformation was carried out continuously at the suggestion of Wang Hua. In fact, Farlan had already attempted to change the position of his family underworld before, but it lacked sufficient development direction. However, Falkao, who is extremely familiar with the history of social and economic development of the community, became the number one hero of the Norman family's transformation, and eventually helped the Norman family successfully complete the transformation from underworld to community. This transformation not only made its family the second largest economic entity in the United States, but also greatly consolidated Wang Hua's position within the family.

But this year, the Xinhai Revolution took place in China. Falkao, who still regarded himself as a Chinese, finally had the opportunity to use his family's power to influence China. Because the leader of the Norman Falkao this year was inherited by Norman Falkao. At this time, the Norman family had become an important economic consortium in the United States. The family business involved chemical industry, construction, agricultural products, real estate, banking, transportation and mechanical manufacturing. The marriage between the Norman family and the DuPont family (Norman Falkao and DuPont Kellys) made the Norman family's chemical industry more developed, and the joint ventures of the two families also became one of the largest chemical industry groups in the world at that time.

On the morning of October 28, Norman Bonan, a former American Railway director, had already boarded a medium-sized cruise ship from San Francisco to Shanghai. The cruise ship has a displacement of 5,000 tons, and is one of the most common cruise ships owned by the family. The most important role of this kind of cruise ship is to carry the dignitaries to the high seas, a place that is not subject to US laws and attention from American journalists. But today, Bonan, who really can't wait for the passenger ship, can only ask for the law.

Erkao specially sent himself to Shanghai with a boat. The same boat was also accompanied by 200 private mercenaries of the Norman family. After all, it was still necessary for the main members of the family to carry the necessary protection in a country that was still in a civil war. Moreover, there were 5,000 Mauser 98 on board (in 1908, the Norman family acquired a stake in Mauser Arsenal, owned 15% of the company's shares, and established a branch in the United States. In 1911, they jointly owned a Colt Company.

Establish the Pennsylvania Ground Fire Group.) Rifles, 60 Maxine machine guns, and a considerable number of bullets. These are the meeting gifts for Yuchen, the Chinese general. Of course, if Yuchen could persist until the ship arrived in Shanghai. The same boat was Falkao arranged for Bonan for several other China Communications. Most of these people have more than 10 years of life experience in China, including two officials who had worked as Chinese customs, and one was an aide to the governor of Jiangsu. The main job of these people is to quickly start normal business operations after the Norman family's company was established in China. Most of the original Norman family in China operated industries through compradors. This time, the establishment of a branch in China directly marked the official entry of the Norman family into the Chinese market. Moreover, Bonan will also arrive in Japan and negotiate cooperation with the Japanese Sumitomo Trading Company to build a Sao Industry Group in Shanghai.

Just before Bonan arrived in Japan, Falcao had been sent by a telegram from Carlson to Shanghai, saying that the young General Yuchen was more like a rogue. After robbing almost all the supplies that the Qing government could use to recharge in Shanghai, he extorted millions of yuan from Chen Qimei and Li Shuping of Shanghai. Now the general has withdrawn from Jiangsu.

"Is this just a warlord?" Falcao had to ask himself whether it was the right choice to let Bonan contact with the general. After all, if it was just a warlord, the power of the Norman family would have no problem with the greatest expansion. However, that may not be a good thing for the entire China.

"No matter who he is, there are not many good things in the Chinese revolutionaries at this time. It is better to unite him at this time than to join forces with Yuan Shikai and others. Look, if you don't have it, just wait. And being able to wisely evacuate Shanghai, the most complex area in China, shows that this young general is still self-aware."

After comparing the information in various parts of China, Falkao had a new understanding of the failure of the 1911 Revolution. This is a revolution that must have failed from the beginning. Not to mention Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others had no actual plan to build the country except for the revolution. Even if there is, they have no money or guns, it is impossible to achieve it. And the family cannot invest a penny for these things that are impossible to achieve. After all, Falkao was already a genuine American born and raised in the United States. Doing certain things for the Chinese revolution is not only unrealistic in his opinion, but also undesirable...

It was soon December 1, 1911, and history still had no major changes. Sun Yat-sen still returned to Shanghai. However, after Bonan arrived in Shanghai, it was obvious that he did not take the initiative to find Yuchen, the young general, but first visited the US Consul in Shanghai. It was obvious that Bonan, as a Chinese communication, had a new understanding of the situation in China after he arrived in China. Although Yuchen rose rapidly, his foundation was quite unsolid. It could be easily solved with just a storm. Although his meeting gifts were not generous (it was worth more than 300,000 US dollars), it was a very good income for any local warlord. Moreover, Shanghai, where the family was preparing to open a branch, was no longer in Yuchen's control. Bonan was easy to meet with the Russian Consul in Shanghai Marinov.

You can feel the Russians' disgust for the incompetence of the current Shanghai government. Although the French Consul Mr. Leber did not meet with Bonan, he still revealed through his secretary that France expressed great disgust for Chen Qimei's Shanghai military government that made Shanghai the largest tobacco house in the world in just one month. Therefore, the current Shanghai guardian government in China seems to be quite unoptimistic, both Bonan seems to be Bonan and the views of the great powers learned from the American Consul. Naturally, Bonan would not join in the fun of Shanghai. His only hope now is to meet the legendary heroic figure who recovered Shanghai in his 20s. He stayed in Shanghai for nearly 20 days. As a person who had met Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing and others, he was a normal thing to go down the river.

But when Bonan arrived in Nanjing, he realized that Nanjing was no longer the same as he was when he was traveling in Asia. There were so-called civilian troops everywhere. In Bonan's view, these so-called civilian troops had not even conducted basic military training, and could only be regarded as militias. Nanjing is no longer the Nanjing they used to be. Although the entire city tried its best to show its vitality, Bonan still clearly saw the lack of public expenditure caused by the government's financial tension, which made the city unavoidable.

It can be said that Nanjing was even worse than when the Chinese government in the north at this time. What's even more ridiculous is that there were two governors in Jiangsu, most of the Northern Chinese governments. One was the legendary general Yuchen, who was in charge of the Governor's Office in Liangjiang. The other was the commander of the 9 towns in Jiangnan. However, anyone could see that Yuchen was respectful and swept all the official silver in Nanjing like in Shanghai. Naturally, he was the actual controller of Nanjing.

However, in Bonan, Yuchen's choice to join forces with the Jiangnan constitutionalists is undoubtedly a very bad move. The Jiangnan constitutionalists are undoubtedly using Yuchen's force, and Yuchen's force, as the support of any political faction, can definitely obtain the same benefits as the Jiangnan constitutionalists. Moreover, Zhang Jian's so-called Nantong reclamation seems to be a backward and inefficient company in the Norman family. Cooperation with such people will be used by Zhang Jian in both political and economic terms, and his possible political influence is just the advisory board of the former Qing authorities.

However, when Bonan contacted Falcao telegram, Falcao had a completely different view.

"Yuchen seems powerful at this time, but is actually very fragile. He is a standard mud-footed giant. If there is no one who is quite popular to be Yuchen's political ally, he will definitely lose. In the whole of Southern China, only Zhang Jian can play such a role. The use is always mutual. It is recommended to continue to observe and contact appropriately when appropriate."

While observing Yuchen, Bonan also contacted Sun Yat-sen and others of the Nanjing government. When these people saw Bonan, they had only one theme, that is, they hoped that Bonan could lobby the Norman family for economic assistance. This request undoubtedly allowed Bonan to see the ignorance and innocence of revolutionaries such as Sun Yat-sen. It is simply unimaginable whether a business family can assist a country. Through further observation of Yuchen, Bonan determined that he was the only capable actual military group in the entire China except the Beiyang Army in the north. The suggestion for contacting Yuchen has also been sent to Falkao of the United States through telegrams.

At this time, Falcao, who is in the United States, had to have a headache about how to treat Yuchen, a real local warlord. After all, this general was a person outside of his known history. Although his actions looked more like a warlord, in this actual situation, he was just choosing a warlord that would harm China less. Compared with others, Yuchen at least gave Falcao a little hope. That is, unlike other warlords, most of the warlords mainly make money, while Yuchen spent most of his money on military expenses, and his life was a bit similar to that of the Puritans.

Just when Falkao and Bonan were still watching, Yuchen unexpectedly resigned from the position of governor of Jiangsu, led troops to the north, and occupied Xuzhou, an important town in northern Jiangsu after a series of fierce battles.

In Bonan's opinion, Yuchen didn't know whether he was a spirit or a fool. The peace talks between the north and the south were already the general trend. Could it be that this young general really wanted to conquer Beijing? The launch of the Northern Expedition was undoubtedly for his political reputation. But Jiangsu was Shandong on the north side, and that place was the hometown of Beiyang. How could Yuan Shikai run to his territory so easily? What's more, did Yuchen not feel the suspicion of the South Chinese government for him? Through his understanding in China, Bonan learned that the general claimed to have lived in the United States and had dated Sun Yat-sen. If it was on the east coast, Yuchen could say that he was an illegal immigrant, but the family's strength was on the west coast.

Force has penetrated into every corner of society. An illegal immigrant would not find any chance of survival without working for his family. So Bonan was very suspicious of the general's background, but in Falcao's opinion, such a thing is not completely impossible. After all, the underground forces of the family cannot completely control the entire illegal labor market, and even in the illegal labor market controlled by the family, no one will use their real name. They are not enough. Falcao believes that as long as there is further information, it can prove whether Yuchen is telling the truth. Only by proving Yuchen's identity first can a comprehensive assessment of Yuchen be possible.

But soon, something even more surprising happened in China. Yuchen, who had controlled Xuzhou, easily solved the Anhui Governor Bai Wenmo, who was far more famous than Yuchen, with a mutiny. This undoubtedly surprised those who expressed concern about China's political situation, including Falkao. A young general actually easily solved a general revolutionary who was quite famous in China. Although most people first thought that Bai Wenmo was injured during Yuchen's Northern Expedition to annex the young general's territory, Yuchen's thunderous method was a despicable action, but Yuchen's thunderous method

But it is something that no one can imagine. After this military coup, Falcao and Bonan no longer simply regarded Yuchen as a pure general, but regarded Yuchen as a politician, because a soldier could not have to slap such great strength in order to conceal his coup. At this time, many people in China even called this legendary young general Napoleon of China. Although Bonan and Falcao and others scoffed at the Chinese statement, at this time anyone interested in China had to pay attention to the young general...

Shanghai is a national city, so the Xinhai Revolution soon returned to its previous peace, except for the night of Yuchen Revolution. After all, the revolution is revolution, and life still has to be lived. At the beginning of the lights, the whole Shanghai showed a different side from other Chinese cities. Although the country is still confronting north and south, the Qing Dynasty bureaucrats and compradors who were hiding here still had to enjoy everything in this city with bright lights and wine. The bustling crowds on the streets and the towering European buildings on the Bund are difficult for people to make this city and this corruption.

The weak are still in the civil war. No wonder the French Consul Mr. Leber gave this place an nickname for Paris in the East. This statement is obviously accepted by most foreigners here. Of course, Bonan also felt that this name is quite appropriate. However, tonight, Bonan, who has always liked Asian style, had to visit Mr. Cooper, the US Consul General in Shanghai again. After all, no matter what, the Norman family's business in China had to deal directly with these foreign officials, although Bonan really didn't like to deal with officials.

The US Consulate General is a small building with Chinese and Western styles. It is said that it is small, but for Bonan, which is used to being in the most modern city in the United States, in the surrounding concession area, this building is undoubtedly very large. It is even more beautiful and clean than the low and dark Chinese communities outside the rental. On the second floor of the consulate, only the lights of Consul Cooper's office were on at this time. The leisure mood of Americans could not be stopped. Even if China was in a civil war, it could not be stopped from the consulate officials from attending the endless banquets and cocktail parties in Shanghai. Of course, Cooper's wives would also attend various salons. After all, the revolution was just a country under their control for the country under their control.

Two sofas, one desk, and one small coffee table. This is Consul Cooper’s small and simple office. At this time, Bonan was using his usual casual attitude to taste the Dahongpao tea in China, which was claimed to be only the emperor could drink. Consul Cooper on the opposite side was dealing with this document that had something to do with what the Norman family was about to do.

"Mr. Bonan, why did you come to this country of civil war at this time? Is the Norman family going to do a big deal here? Do you know how poor this poor country is? I'm afraid it's difficult to find a way out for your real estate and industrial products. As for railways, the current chaotic situation in this country is probably unrealistic, and you know that our United States has not obtained enough road construction rights." Cooper can be said that he contacted China with all the Norman family's business in the United States that he could think of at the beginning.

"Mr. Consul, if you are not so polite, I don't have to use any honorific title. I think since the family is likely to start business in China in the future, I may contact you frequently? This piece of Jun kiln porcelain was given to you by Mr. Falkao of our family. I hope we can cooperate happily in China in the future."

Bonan handed over a small box to Cooper, although Cooper had no intention of picking up

Cooper took the box for a full minute. He also understood that if he didn't take the box, the Norman family's forces would undoubtedly be a catastrophe for a small consul in an uncivilized country. After accepting this box, he might have to work hard with the Norman family in China. If something goes wrong, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will certainly not be able to cause trouble for the State Secretary's family, and in the end he will be unlucky.

When he opened the box, Cooper was still slightly surprised. This small box contained a rare Guanyin bottle from the Jun kiln of the Song Dynasty, which was very rare in the Jun kiln of the Song Dynasty. As a Chinese expert, Cooper certainly knew that the value of the gifts of the Norman family also represented how troublesome the business would be here in the future. However, it was impossible to withdraw from what he had accepted, and the "poor" consul had to accept this "expensive" gift.

"Mr. Bonan, what business is your family going to come to China this time?" Although it has been tied to the Norman family, the Consul obviously hopes that this kind of business will not be too troublesome.

"Consul, please rest assured that our business here is mainly light industries such as textiles and flour. As for factories, we have already discussed with Sumitomo Trading Company in Japan. You know that our company's investment group is the second largest shareholder of Sumitomo, so we obtained a large area of ​​land in the southern suburbs of Shanghai. Now you just need to discuss with Governor Chen of the Shanghai Military Government about how to operate it. Of course, I would like to thank you again after the matter is done."

Bonan still tasted his tea with a noble temperament. Although he was not used to this oriental drink with a faint bitterness, he had to admit that this drink does have some special magic for people in the Western world.

"Well, I believe Governor Chen will not have any problems. But I have to tell you that the southern suburbs of Shanghai are the most chaotic area in the whole of Shanghai. That place is simply a paradise for criminals."

"This is our business, you don't have to worry too much. Okay, Mr. Consul, I'm very embarrassed to disturb your rest. I'd better go back early."

"Okay, I'll give you a message the morning after tomorrow."

The inadvertent change in the name of both sides marked the inevitable entry of the Norman family in Shanghai...

The southern suburbs of Shanghai are large slums and garbage dumps. Although it was bought by Sumitomo Trading Company, since Sumitomo still has a large area of ​​land in Dalian, there is no extra fund to develop it here. This is why Sumitomo agreed to transfer this land to the Norman family at such a low price. It is not just that American International Investment is Sumitomo's second largest shareholder.

The next day, Bonan went to see the actual situation in the southern suburbs under the protection of more than 20 mercenaries. At this time, he found that the area was really chaotic. No one stopped the robbers in broad daylight, and the police often shared money with the robbers at the corner. There was no one who even saw a patrol policeman in the whole block. For Bonan, who had traveled in Asia, he could not imagine that this place was only 10 kilometers away from the concession area and the Bund, but there was such a big gap.

"Mr. Bonan, let's go back. This is China in reality. More than 90% of China's cities look like this, and only the concession area is still like a city."

The speaker was Tran, who once worked in customs. After returning to China in 1906, he was the mainstay in the Arizona Chemical Industry, which belongs to the Norman family.

"So Mr. Tran, do you think it's possible to build a modern factory here? Textile mill."

"I am frank, I'm afraid there is only room for development for light industries such as textiles in the whole of China, but the public security issues here?" Tran said with concern.

"These are not our problems anymore. I believe that since the family has the goal of developing in China, they must have formulated a package of plans. How to build a factory is a matter for them to scratch their heads."...

Not long after Bonan visited the southern suburbs, Consul Cooper called Chen Siyuan, the comprador of Norman's family in China. He asked him to inform Bonan that Governor Chen Qimei hoped to have an interview with Bonan.

This kind of thing was naturally learned by Bonan very soon. That night, Chen Qimei, Bonan and Cooper met again in the US consulate. It was obvious that the two sides were discussing the issue of the Nansu factory.

"Mr. Bonan, you know, although I am the governor of Shanghai now, I actually have no ability to control Shanghai. The police in my hand cannot control the southern suburbs at all. I'm very sorry." Chen Qimei said with a bitter face.

Yuchen beat Chen Qimei's Huzhou Gang greatly damaged his strength. Although he became the governor of Shanghai, his territory was only Zhabei and other places in his own gang, and the southern suburbs were indeed unable to do so. Moreover, the Shanghai Municipal Government's finances were also quite embarrassing, and all this was thanks to Yuchen. So every time he mentioned Yuchen, Chen Qimei was so angry that she even felt itchy. However, facing Bonan, who even the American consul had to give in, Chen Qimei could only endure it even if she was angry.

"Governor Chen, do you know what our Norman family does? Let's do this. If you can't help us clearing out the illegal settlers in the southern suburbs, I will deal with it in our own way. But you still need some help, but these help will not make you help in vain."

As he said that, Bonan took out a check from China-Russia Daosheng Bank of 300,000 yuan and shook it in front of Chen Qimei. Chen Qimei's eyes were straightened.

"It's easy to deal with, I don't know what you want me to help?" Chen Qimei swallowed and said, swallowing.

"I need to approve the establishment of a factory protection team, with a number of about 2,000 people. I can be equipped with various light weapons and enjoy the right to public security in our area in the southern suburbs."

"Is this..." Chen Qimei had to consider it. However, the temptation of 300,000 yuan in cash was too great for him. However, if he agreed to establish such a factory protection team, what if other foreign factories asked for construction, then Shanghai has become the world of foreign factory protection teams? But if he disagrees, not only will it be gone, but he, the governor of Shanghai, knows how long he can do it. If he doesn't make any money, he will not only be useless.

"In addition, Mr. Chen, you know that Mr. Sun and Mr. Huang have met. I know that your Nanjing government is quite embarrassed. I believe they will agree to us organize a security team." At this time, Bonan pulled Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing out to pull the flag.

"Okay, Mr. Bonan, I'll go back and write a notice now. Your company can freely form a factory protection team to protect the safety of your factory in the southern suburbs."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, I believe that Mr. Sun and Mr. Huang will be satisfied with your approach."

Seeing Chen Qimei leaving the consulate with 300,000 checks, Bonan, standing at the window, smiled slightly. It seemed that China was really the same as what Cooper and Chen Siyuan said. You can do anything as long as you have money. There is no problem even organizing a private army. It seems that China is really the right one.

At this time Bonan still remembers what Falcao said

"Bonan, don't you remember 10 years ago when you used Maxine to sieve the boss of the Chicago gang that robbed our bank. The little Chinese gangster made the machine guns in the family silence. Or did you forget how to shoot the machine guns in your office and high-end cars in recent years?"

"Falcao, look, I must build the factory. I want people to know that no one can afford to attack my machine gun Bonan anywhere."

In the second half of the 19th century, secret societies with Gelaohui and Qing Gang as the main body rose rapidly in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the canal basin. The main reason is that after the failure of the Pingtian Kingdom, the population of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces plummeted, and a large number of foreigners moved in, and secret societies such as Gelaohui spread; before and after the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Yangtze River basin was filled with a large number of scattered soldiers, which was of particular significance to the growth of secret social forces in this area; the integration and collusion of the Yan Xiao and the Party forces in the Jianghuai region were also factors that cannot be ignored in the rise of the Party forces. Some of these societies were colluded with the Qing government and strangled the revolution, while others were combined with the revolutionary party. Chen Qimei, the commander-in-chief of the Great Smoke, was an important member of the Qing Gang.

At this time, with full support from Falcao, Bonan decided to first form an armed factory protection team of about 500 people. Obviously, Nanjiao is a very mixed place in Shanghai. For some old-fashioned societies, Bonan believes in China's words, that is, strong dragons do not defeat local snakes. He first visited many time-honored figures of the Qing Gang, the most powerful Qing Gang in Shanghai. In contrast, although it cannot be said that the Gelaohui and other organizations are completely ignored, due to the dispersion and weak control of their organization, Bonan does not place it in an important position at all. Since then, the expansion of Shanghai has mostly focused on attacking the Gelaohui. This expansion policy obviously represents the family coming from behind the scenes.
To be continued...
