In September 1941, the situation in the Shanghai Public Settlement became extremely serious.
On September 2, Japan sent 15 military police, led by Lieutenant Shima Shita Daiki, into the public concession to assist the concession authorities in "management"!
This also means that the Japanese army has officially entered the concession.
At this time, the concession authorities were unable to resist.
And on the next day, the "Banbu Incident" broke out.
The so-called Takashibe Incident refers to the rape of a fourteen-year-old Chinese girl by a senior soldier in the Japanese military police named Takashibe Kenji.
As soon as this incident broke out, it quickly aroused protests from the concession authorities and the anger of the Chinese people!
The Japanese side, which had just gotten involved in the concession, was not willing to let the situation spread further. They quickly set up an investigation team and temporarily detained Kenji Masabe.
The so-called "detention" is nothing more than protection in disguise.
The Japanese military also strictly ordered the Japanese troops in the concession to strictly observe military discipline and prevent such incidents from happening again.
They are by no means feeling guilty, but must stabilize the concession and prepare for further occupation.
At this time, in the concession, due to the outbreak of the European War, the British had no time to take care of themselves. All British troops evacuated, leaving only the American and Italian troops.
The French Concession became an ally of Germany because of the surrender of the French government.
Therefore, the concession is falling into a chaotic situation.
The patrols were disinclined to work, and security cases in the concession began to increase.
Huang Jinrong stayed behind closed doors, Du Yuesheng fled to Hong Kong, and Zhang Xiaolin and Ji Yunqing were assassinated.
The old man Zhang Renkui is old and no longer cares about the affairs of the world.
And on that day when the old man came to the Fan Yuan Club, Meng Shaoyuan enforced the gang rules as the young master and went on a killing spree, and he had become the only tycoon of the Shanghai Youth Gang!
"I want to kill. I want to kill every one of your family. I want to kill them all. If I want to leave even one person to breathe, I lose!"
The words Meng Shaoyuan left that day were still clearly etched in the minds of those gang bosses.
He killed Youth Gang bosses such as Li Guolu, Zhu Zhenxian, and Lu Kuixin without any hesitation.
The gang members who were wavering and wanted to join the Japanese were killed, and everyone was frightened.
He is Zhang Renkui's brother. There is no one in Shanghai who is older than him in terms of seniority. He is the leader of the Shanghai Youth Gang.
Moreover, he is in charge of the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau, and he wants guns and people.
Therefore, no one in the entire Shanghai Youth Gang dared to oppose him.
At this time, the only tycoon of the Shanghai Youth Gang was sitting there with a serious face, listening to Chang Chizhou's report.
"The little girl's name is Xu Caidi. She is only fourteen years old. She would go to the briquette factory in the early morning to collect cinders to supplement her family's income. She happened to meet Kenji Nabebe who was on duty. As a result, she was brutally murdered. Now, this little girl hides at home every day. Don’t dare to go out.”
"Kenji Masabe is under investigation. In fact, he is under protection." Wu Jingyi said.
Meng Shaoyuan asked: "Is he still in the concession?"
"Yes, he is still in the concession. The Japanese investigation team believes that if he is allowed to leave the concession, it will be equivalent to admitting that Kenji Masabe has indeed violated the concession law."
"I'm just surprised. Didn't Kenji Kabebe violate the laws of the concession?" Meng Shaoyuan didn't understand.
"The Japanese military police had Commander Daiki Shimana to issue a certificate that Kenji Nabebe was an 'upright' soldier." Wu Jingyi said sarcastically: "When questioned by the investigation team, Kenji Nabebe said that Xu Caidi was actually a prostitute. , she took the initiative to seduce him, Masabe Kenji just didn’t grasp it, and even paid for it afterwards.”
"Yes." Chang Chizhou's face was gloomy: "After raping Xu Caidi, Kenji Makibe threw a few bills to her, so this became an excuse for the Japanese."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled, and his smile was a little bit breathtaking: "I thought I was very shameless, but compared with these Japanese, I have become a saint. Have you ever seen a nation that is more shameless than the Japanese?"
When he said this, he suddenly remembered something: "Chang Chizhou, why do you take care of this matter?"
"Little Master, Xu Caidi's father and uncle are all our people." Chang Chizhou said quickly: "They have all made contributions to the gang and been injured. Xu Caidi's uncle later became paralyzed in bed, and her father was a gambler. All the money given to him was lost, and he relied on his wife to maintain the family."
Hearing Meng Shaoyuan's sneer, Chang Chizhou hurriedly said: "Xu Caidi's father's name is Xu Degui, and his eldest brother, the paralyzed one, is named Xu Defu. After Xu Caidi's accident, Xu Degui went to their former hall master behind his eldest brother's back and asked for revenge for his daughter. Moreover, he swore that he would never gamble again, and cut off three fingers on his left hand in front of the hall master.
His eldest brother Xu Defu, although paralyzed, burst into tears and begged for revenge for his niece. Does his hall master have any ability to avenge them, so he can only rely on connections to find me. I don't dare to neglect such a big matter, so I can only come to ask the young master. "
Meng Shaoyuan remained silent.
After he heard about Xu Caidi's incident for the first time, he was also strangely angry.
However, this is not something that the Military Control Bureau has to take care of. Moreover, the situation in the concession is so tense now, and the deadline for the fall of the concession is getting closer and closer. There are too many things to do.
So he didn't interfere in this matter.
But now it seems that it’s no longer possible for me not to intervene.
Once the concession falls, these gang members will quickly become a vital force.
He is famous, powerful and feared in the Youth Gang.
But it's time to establish your own prestige and convince the gang disciples.
Moreover, these Japanese military police are also a problem.
Fifteen Japanese military police, not many.
But it means that the Japanese military forces have officially entered the concession.
This caused confusion and tension among the people in the concession.
It even had a certain impact within the Shanghai District of Military Reunion.
The situation must be stabilized quickly.
The Minbu incident seems to be a good entry point.
The military agents and the people in the concession must know that even if Japan enters the concession, they will not be able to do whatever they want.
"Chang Chizhou, go back and tell the Xu family." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "You are a disciple of my Qinggang. You must avenge your revenge. I will take care of this matter."
"Yes, thank you, young master!" Chang Chizhou suddenly cheered up and said loudly.
Meng Shaoyuan continued: "Not only that, you will also make a big splash when you return and tell our people that Meng Shaoyuan, the young master of the Qing Gang, has decided to avenge Xu Caidi!"
Chang Chizhou was startled.
Big fanfare?
At this time, shouldn't it be done quietly?
"Issue a kill order!" Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "Once any trace of Kenji is found, shoot him without mercy!"
"yes!"
Although he didn't understand why the young master did this, Chang Chizhou still responded loudly!
