I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[On the streets of Japan, you can often see people wearing black suits, white shirts, and tattoos on their chests. ]

[If they stretch out their palms and cannot make up a complete set of 10 fingers, then he is most likely a member of a gang. ]

……

“? What does this mean?”

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were quite confused.

……

[The gang is the official name of the Japanese gang. ]

[The Japanese gang was first formed in the Edo period, which is roughly equivalent to the middle of our Ming Dynasty. ]

[At that time, some samurai did not want to participate in labor, so they began to form gangs and divide regions, becoming the earliest "black group". ]

[The early ways of making profits for gangs were nothing more than two: one was burning, killing, and looting, and the other was bullying the weak, forcing others to buy goods and collecting protection fees for a living. 】

……

Many common people in all dynasties have deep feelings about this.

The gangs in their respective dynasties often do these two types of things.

This is not surprising.

In fact.

The money-making methods used by gangs in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, are similar.

……

[At that time, the people called them Yakuza, which means rogues and scoundrels. ]

[But they understood Yakuza as the morality of the rivers and lakes, and believed that they were the real samurai, and forming a gang to collect protection fees was considered chivalrous and righteous in their eyes. ]

……

"Shameless!"

Many ancient people in all dynasties cursed in their hearts.

These Japanese gangs are really shameless to equate extortion with chivalrous and righteous.

……

[However, their chivalry was soon hit by the Japanese government. ]

[During this period, a key figure appeared, named Shimizu Jirocho, who was the ancestor of the Japanese gang. ]

[Shimizu Jirocho was originally engaged in a shady business, but this person organized the originally scattered gangs into a force of about 3,000 people. ]

[3,000 people, for us, is the number of people in a village, but in the early days of Japan, it was an extremely powerful force. ]

[The various so-called wars in Japan at that time were almost all wars between thousands of people. ]

……

"Is it so weak?"

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were quite surprised.

Although they knew from the previous video that Japan was a small island country.

But they didn't expect it to be so weak.

Just a few thousand people can become a powerful force.

This surprised many ancient people.

……

【Later, the emperor's power rose and launched a crusade against the Tokugawa shogunate. Shimizu Jirocho wavered between them and eventually helped the emperor's power regain power. 】

【Since thenAfter that, Team 567 of Shimizu Jiro Town suddenly transformed into a gray thug for the government, helping the government to deal with some problems that were inconvenient for them to deal with. 】

[At the same time, he transformed the original gang into a business group, so that the official also tacitly acknowledged its legitimacy. 】

……

"So that's it."

The ancients of all dynasties suddenly realized.

I didn't expect that this gang leader in Japan actually had the merit of following the dragon.

……

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of thought.

As an emperor who came from the bottom of society, he was very familiar with the situation of the people.

This kind of collusion between the gang and the government should also exist in various places in the Ming Dynasty.

He felt that before officially disbanding the Jinyiwei, he could deal with this matter first and go to various places to investigate.

His attitude towards the gangs is to completely wipe them out!

……

[At this point, the first stage of the Japanese gangs ended, and with the appearance of the Yamaguchi-gumi, the second stage kicked off. ]

[During the Meiji Restoration, Japan entered the industrialization era, and many people began to leave the farmland and seek new jobs. ]

[In the early stages of industrial development, there were limited jobs, and in order to compete for jobs, workers often fought each other. ]

[The emergence of fighting gave rise to many gangs. ]

[In the Kobe area, a fisherman named Yamaguchi Harukichi also discovered this "business opportunity". ]

[So he gathered a group of gamblers, ronin and dock loaders to form a gang of about 50 people, and named it the Yamaguchi-gumi after his surname. ]

[So how did the Yamaguchi-gumi become legal and grow? 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin listened to this and pondered.

Perhaps the Tang Dynasty will also encounter the same experience of Japan on the road to industrialization after the start of the industrial revolution.

If the situation is foreseen in advance, the Tang Dynasty will be able to think of a countermeasure in advance.

……

[This has to start from after World War II. ]

[After World War II, the order in Japan was chaotic. Because the government was unable to control it, it could only recognize the underworld organizations such as the Yamaguchi Group and entrust them to act as civilian police. To put it bluntly, they let them legally collect protection fees in order to maintain public order and reduce crime rates. ]

[After this relationship, they began to operate gambling, drugs, usury and other industries on their own territory. At the same time, like in the first stage, they would help the government deal with some problems that they were not convenient to deal with. 】

……

The dimension of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

After a brief thought, Zhu Di knew that the emergence of this situation was related to the defeat of Japan in World War II.

Generally speaking, the existence of gangs has a lot to do with the government.

If the government has strong control, the survival space of the gangs will be very small.

If the government has poor control, the survival space of the gangs will be very large.

After World War II, Japan did not even have its own armed forces, and it can almost be said that it had no control over Japanese society.

This situation is suitable for the development and growth of Japanese gangs.

Not to mention that the Japanese government has taken the initiative to ask for help from Japanese gangs.

……

[It was also during this period that the Yamaguchi-gumi underwent a huge change. ]

[The reformer was the third-generation manager of the Yamaguchi-gumi: Kazuo Taoka. ]

[It can be said that this person is the main driving force for the development of Japanese gangs to this day. ]

[Kazuo Taoka believes that transformation is the ultimate destination of all gang forces. ]

[He successively established racetracks, horse racing tracks, and rowing tracks, and also began to invest in entertainment, real estate, catering and other projects. 】

【While other gangs were still blackmailing entertainment companies, Kazuo Taoka invested 1 million and founded the Kobe Entertainment Company, and began to get involved in the film and television industry. 】

【At that time, Japanese national artists such as Hibari Misora, Yoshio Tabata, and Ken Takakura were all stars under the Yamaguchi-gumi. 】

【There are also programs like the Red and White Songs Festival, which is actually a program planned by Japanese gangs】

【Later, they also filmed some movies similar to "Young and Dangerous", shaping the gang organization that originally existed in the gray area into a chivalrous group. 】

【Under the dual influence of the times and the role, the Yamaguchi-gumi grew rapidly. 】

【In the heyday of the Yamaguchi-gumi, the registered members once exceeded 100,000, and the annual income reached 80 billion US dollars, becoming the most profitable gang in the world. 】

……

"One hundred thousand people!!"

Many ancient people from all dynasties were shocked.

I didn't expect that the Yamaguchi-gumi could grow to such a large scale.

……

[For this reason, Kazuo Taoka also formulated some strict regulations, such as not allowing the disclosure of gang affairs, not allowing compatriots to kill each other, not allowing private robbery, and not allowing molesting women in the same gang. ]

[The management of the group is well-organized, comparable to a national government agency. ]

……

"This person has some vision and ability."

In the dimension of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che made a casual comment.

Extortion and other ways of making money are always not acceptable.

And the risk is very high.

When the Japanese government can use it temporarily, it will give convenience to the gang.

When Japan strengthens its control over society, it will suppress the gang.

After all, no government will like the gang.

What's more, the size of the Yamaguchi-gumi has reached 100,000 people. If the Japanese government is smart, it will suppress such a large gang.

……

[But if the gang really follows the rules, then it is not a gang. ]

[So it happened】

[Because the Yamaguchi-gumi was doing well, many people wanted to join the Yamaguchi-gumi. 】

[For this reason, Kazuo Taoka made a rule of cutting off fingers. 】

[In the heyday, you had to cut off your fingers to join the gang, to make mistakes, and even to quit the gang. 】

[According to statistics, more than 45% of gang members in Japan have cut off their fingers, and even 15% have cut off their fingers at least twice, so it is not difficult to understand why Japan is the country with the most developed prosthetic industry? 】

…

“So that’s how it is.”

Now the ancients of all dynasties finally know why it was said at the beginning that if you saw someone with a broken finger, it was likely that he was a member of the Japanese gang.

However, many ancient people thought this rule was really bizarre.

How can we damage our hair and skin so casually, which is what we received from our parents?

……

[During the heyday of the Japanese gangs, more than 3,000 organizations appeared at the same time, and the number of members once exceeded 200,000. Large organizations headed by the Yamaguchi-gumi began to invest in stocks, real estate, art and other fields. ]

[However, the excessive expansion of the gangs also attracted great attention from the Japanese police. ]

[Because they found that these gangs had completed corporate transformation on the surface, but in fact the main profit projects were still drugs, gambling, and protection fees. ]

[Therefore, in 1964, the Japanese police issued the "Outline of Countermeasures for the Suppression of Violence" to encircle and suppress gangs across the country, among which the Yamaguchi-gumi was listed as a key target for suppression. ]

[However, due to historical reasons, the gangs have infiltrated various fields and it is impossible to completely eliminate them. 】

【So, in 1992, Japan finally implemented the "Countermeasures against Gangs" and began to crack down on gang members in a targeted manner. 】

【How to crack down? 】

……

"What is coming will eventually come."

Many ancient people in all dynasties were not surprised by the emergence of this situation.

What they are curious about now is what specific measures the Japanese government will take to crack down on Japanese gangs?

……

【For example, the police station set up next to the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters is for surveillance. 】

【Another example is that gang members are not allowed to use bank cards, loans, or bathhouses, and some companies will not even provide them with part-time jobs. 】

【Even if they quit the gang in the future, some companies will exclude gang members. 】

【A series of operations have made the original gang members the objects of discrimination. 】

【Therefore, these organizations have begun to whitewash themselves. 】

【In the 1995 earthquake, the first to arrive at the scene was the rescue team sent by the Yamaguchi-gumi. 】

【In addition,When the Japanese earthquake struck in 2011, the Yamaguchi-gumi also ordered all its offices to build temporary sites to support the earthquake-stricken areas. 】

[For example, if there are people missing in some places, after the police notify the local gangs, they will also take the initiative to find the missing people. 】

[In addition, they will also do many good deeds, including but not limited to measuring the body temperature of others and distributing snacks to local children. 】

[Such means have also deceived many ordinary people in Japan and people from countries outside Japan. 】

……

"This Japanese gang is interesting."

In the dimension of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin smiled.

These countermeasures are not a bad method.

Through these means, there is no doubt that the relationship with ordinary people in Japan can be brought closer and the favor of ordinary people can be won.

At the same time, the Japanese people who have received benefits from the gangs will definitely be more tolerant of these gangs.

……

[Today, there are about 60,000 gang members in Japan, of which 11,600 are Yamaguchi-gumi members. ]

[Due to the lack of young people joining, nearly half of the gang members in the country are over 50 years old. ]

[Can you imagine a 60-year-old collecting protection fees? What kind of scene is this? ]

……

See here.

Many ancient people in all dynasties imagined such a scene in their minds.

Then, many ancient people laughed directly.

Such a scene is really a bit funny.

……

[In addition, due to the official crackdown, many Yamaguchi-gumi members began to be forced to work. ]

[In 2018, a member drew a series of gangster emoticons and sold them on Japanese chat software. As a result, within a few days, the Japanese police arrested the member and removed his entrepreneurial project. 】

[In recent years, the news about Japanese gangs is mainly funny, such as "a gang member concealed his identity and worked in a post office for only one day, but was fired and arrested on the spot because he was too proud of his salary and exposed his identity", "a gang member was arrested on suspicion of obstructing the business of the power company for modifying the meter without authorization to save electricity bills", etc. 】

[Today's Japanese gangs are no longer as glorious as they were back then. 】

……

After a conclusion.

The video ends.

On the sky screen.

A new video appears.

[A thousand-year-old famous family, the first family in China - how can this family prosper for a thousand years? 】

……

When this line of big words appeared on the sky screen, the ancient people of all dynasties were shocked.

"A thousand-year-old famous family, the first family in China", this name is really big.

At the same time

Many ancient people began to ponder in their hearts.

Which family is this family with such a big name?

……

The plane of Taizu of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao seemed to have thought of something and said:

"Are you talking about the Liu royal family of the Han Dynasty?"

In a previous video, I heard people in later generations say that the Liu royal family was the largest family in China for thousands of years.

Therefore, he made this guess.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and shook his head:

"It shouldn't be. People in later generations actually said that the descendants of the Liu royal family are the largest."

"I thought about it. Before our China, there should not have been a Liu family with such a long history."

Zhu Biao nodded.

What his father Zhu Yuanzhang said was right. It was indeed the case.

"Is that the Five Surnames and Seven Famous ...

"Which family is it?"

Zhu Biao continued to stare at the sky screen while thinking.

……

[The ancient sage Mencius said: "The grace of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations"; there is also a saying: wealth does not last for more than three generations. ]

[How many imperial families, princes and generals have become obscure after the passage of time. ]

[But in the history of China, there is a family that has been glorious for a thousand years, and until today, it continues to produce world-famous talents. ]

[Do you know which family this is? ]

[Do you know why this family has been prosperous for a thousand years? ]

[If you don't know, you must watch today's video. ]

……

After reading this preface.

The eyes of ancient people in all dynasties looking at the sky screen became more focused.

They were very curious, which family could be so powerful? Could it continue to flourish until the Dragon Kingdom in the future?

In the expectation of the ancients.

The following video content quickly revealed the answer. .
