A Brief History of the Yamaguchi Formation (A Century of Japanese Gangsters) - DayDayNews

2019 Nian 10 on 10, a 68-year-old Japanese hardcore old man, near a police station in the city of Kobe in front of police In the face, two members of the "Shanjian Group" were shot and killed.

This hard-core old man is a member of the Yamaguchi group of the famous Japanese gang 丸山俊夫.

Soon, this shooting case crossed the ocean and made headlines on Chinese social platforms.

In fact, the "Shanjian Group" was originally only a second-level group of the "Yamaguchi Group". Four years ago, it formed a beam due to the split. The two sides have fought against each other for many rounds. In fact, this shooting case has another inside story.

Today I will write about the century-old situation of the "Yamaguchi Group" and the grievances with the "Shanjian Group".

Chapter 1: Birth of the Yamaguchi Group

The founder of the Yamaguchi Group is named 山口春吉, who was born in 1881, 13 years younger than the Shanghai Bund tycoon Jinrong Du Yuesheng is 7 years older. They are considered underworld figures of the same era, but the history of the Qinggang is much longer than that of the Yamaguchi group.

Although the Qingbang originated in canal water transportation, its real world fame is in the port city of Shanghai. The Japanese Yamaguchi Formation originated in Kobe, and Kobe is also a port city.

Where there is a port, there is a wharf. There are a large number of strong porters in the wharf. They can easily form gangs in order to grab work or hold groups.

This is how the black saying "Worship to the dock" came from.

However, how did Harunyichi Yamaguchi " farmer" become "黑帮老大"?

This starts from 1904.

In 1904, Japan and Russia had a treaty in Northeast China, known as the Russo-Japanese War. The 23-year-old 山口春吉 felt that it was a bit violent to use all his strength on the crops, so he joined the army as a soldier. A war.

One year later, Haruyoshi Yamaguchi, who had been baptized by the war, was demobilized. When he got home, he had to face the damn crops. He wanted to change his way of living, so he ran to the beach and worked as a fisherman for a while, but the demobilized soldiers took It's also a bit unreasonable to force the innocent fish on the bottom of the sea. The most important thing is that being a fisherman is about the same as being a farmer, earning less than a few dollars.

So, Haruyoshi Yamaguchi threw the fishing net and ran to the port of Kobe to work as a porter.

That year, he was 25 years old.

At that time Kobe Port was the largest port in East Asia.

Japan became the overlord of East Asia through the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War. Dumping a large amount of goods to China and North Korea, but also plundering a lot of production materials from China and North Korea. As a result, the port of Kobe needs a large number of porters because of the woven cargo ships, and farmers and fishermen in the surrounding area have come to invest.

山口春吉 Once a peasant, fisherman and a soldier, his arms are amazing and he is courageous. After the baptism of war, he quickly emerged from a group of five big and three rough porters.

first became the small leader of porters, and was later absorbed by the "Oshima Group" of the Kobe Port underworld, and became the small leader of the shipyard.

"Oshima Group" was the number one gang in Kobe at that time. In addition to collecting protection fees from the shipyard, it was also the largest gambling group in Kobe. 山口春吉 quickly got the big island group boss 大岛秀吉'S appreciation, become a cronies around him.

After three years of internship with the boss, Haruyoshi Yamaguchi has accumulated rich experience in underworld management.

In March 1915, the 34-year-old 山口春吉 gathered 50 gamblers and ronin back to his hometown in Hyogo County to establish the Yamaguchi Group. With the help of the gangsters, the morning market in Hyogo The retail of fish and dried goods is monopolized.

With the organization members more and moreThe more, the more money is needed. Yamaguchi Haruyoshi expanded his power to the newly opened land in southern Hyogo Prefecture, which was a famous entertainment city and later became a major center of Japanese film culture.

But what was popular at that time was not movies, but Langqu Theater. Haruyoshi Yamaguchi got the right to perform in the oily Nangqu Theater, just like Jinrong’s co-stage opened in Shanghai, except that one is performing Nangqu and the other is performing opera.

The only fly in the ointment is that the Yamaguchi group was still a second-level group of the Oshima group at that time, and they had to pay 大岛秀吉 regularly, which is called "collection" in the words of the Hong Kong gang.

Hideyoshi Oshima did not expect that the "Yamaguchi Group" founded by his younger brother would develop into Japan's largest gang organization many years later.

Chapter 2: Juvenile Ruthless People

When Haruyoshi Yamaguchi was the boss, the "Yamaguchi Group" was the second-level group of the "Oshima Group", that is, a branch, equivalent to a branch or The meaning of sub-rudder.

In 1925, the 44-year-old Haruyoshi Yamaguchi retired, and the 23-year-old eldest son 山口登 became the second-generation head of the Yamaguchi group (also translated as "second generation head", but Wan Xiaodao likes to use "head ").

Young people are more radical, and coincides with the 1928 world financial crisis. The business of the "Yamaguchi Group" was hit and they didn't make much money, but the "Big Island Group" had to pay regularly. 山口登狂了:

Hand in NMLGB!

Since then, the "Yamaguchi Formation" has been independent and split from the "Dadao Formation".

大岛秀吉 was furious and wanted to clear the door and destroy the "Yamaguchi Group". The two gangs had a large-scale conflagration, but they were killed by the "Yamaguchi Group" without thinking. Since then, the "Yamaguchi Group" has developed rapidly , "Oshima Group" began to decline.

At that time, a 16-year-old boy stood out. He dug out the eyes of a member of the "Big Island Group" with his bare hands. Not only did he scare his opponent to pee, he also scared himself to vomit. Up.

This hardcore teenager is named 田冈一雄. The so-called debut is the peak, and he is talking about him.

田冈一雄 was born in 1913, 10 years younger than the head of 山口登. Since childhood, both of his parents have died, and he was adopted by his uncle. His uncle is impoverished and destitute. He treats him as a punching bag. Beaten up.

田冈一雄, who is often beaten, has no intention of reading, and has a soft spot for fighting, and soon became the school's number one bully. After graduating from elementary school, he went to work in the factory and was led by the director in the factory. As a result, he wanted to lead the director, so he beat the director and was fired.

Such a hardcore boy is certainly not suitable for the factory. His talent is destined to be displayed in the underworld, and he was quickly absorbed by the "Yamaguchi Group".

16-year-old 田冈一雄 became famous in the first battle, 山口登 learned of his heroic deeds, took good care of him, and often handed over some fighting and killing in the gang He does it.

In 1934, the 21-year-old 田冈一雄 has become the number one killer in the Yamaguchi group. In August of this year, the Kobe seafarers went on strike and demanded an increase in wages, but the blood-sucking capital quit. This triggered a labor dispute, known in history as a "seafarer dispute."

The capital side was unsure of these seafarers, so they spent some money and invited the "Yamaguchi Group" to resolve this dispute by force. But one by one, the seamen were five big and three rugged men, and they killed the representatives of the "Yamaguchi Group" if they didn't agree.

长门人山口登 was furious and sent the first killer 田冈一雄 to take revenge. Kazuo Tianoka carried a samurai sword into the seamen's meeting, and cut at people, causing several deaths and injuries...

田冈一雄 at the age of 21 years was sentenced to one year in prison.

Japanese underworldIt is known that fighting and killing are far worse than Shanghai’s youth gang tycoon Du Yuesheng. Du Yuesheng’s handling of the Shanghai workers’ strike can be described as "cutting tofu on both sides", which not only made the labor union grateful to him, but also made the French Concession owe him a favor. Since then rely heavily on him.

Therefore, although many Chinese youths went to study in Japan during the Republic of China, when it comes to playing the underworld, the underworld in Japan is still weaker than the green gang in Shanghai. If you come to Shanghai for further studies, even if you read a biography of Du Yuesheng, It will be like learning a kind of unpredictable martial arts, and can unify the Japanese underworld.

田冈一雄 When he was released from prison, 山口登 personally hosted a banquet and gave a silver knife to encourage him.

Not long after, the 22-year-old 田冈一雄 met a girl named 深山文子. The two of them had a secret relationship, but they hadn’t confessed or opened a room yet, 田冈Yixiong was sentenced to 8 years in prison for killing a troublemaker in a casino.

Many years later, 田冈一雄 recalls the 8 years of prison, and may be grateful, because after World War II, Japanese devils began to invade China, and many young people were enlisted and sent to Invaded China on the battlefield.

Because of imprisonment, 田冈一雄 escaped a red military order. If desperadoes who are poaching people come to China as an army, I am afraid that many of our compatriots will be killed by them.

Other young people in mixed society are not so lucky. Most of them are sent to the battlefield of invading China. As a result, the "Yamaguchi Group" is greatly reduced, and there are few ruthless people like 田冈一雄 . So in August 1940, 山口登 was attacked by a gangster in the Shimonoseki area in Tokyo in order to solve the transfer problem of a Langshi (artist), and was seriously injured.

此后山口登 Regardless of the situation, obsessed with female sex, struggling to pursue the red geisha 花柳小菊, October 1942, due to relapse and indulgence of old injuries Excessive, died in 花柳小菊 arms.

The "Yamaguchi Group" has experienced four years without a leader, until 田冈一雄 was released from prison.

Chapter 3: Tian Gang Upper

In 1943, the 2600th anniversary of the Japanese Imperial Period, the 31-year-old 田冈一雄 was released from prison one year earlier, more than 20 former subordinates Come to meet.

I met 深山文子 before going to jail. I was quite infatuated with him. I waited for him for 7 years. Then the two lived two years of sex life and gave birth to a son.

In August 1945, the US military dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After that, the emperor of Japan announced his surrender.

After Japan surrendered, those Koreans and Taiwanese who were imprisoned by the Japanese for forced labor were freed. But they were penniless, unable to return to the country, and even had no food to eat, so they formed the Korean Gang and the Taiwan Gang. They carried out wild revenge, looting, killing, and even controlled the black market rice price.

After the war, there were police in Japan, but they did not have the army to back them up, and the police did not have the confidence. Even many police officers were killed by the Korean Gang and Taiwan Gang. The Japanese government invited the US military to suppress it, but the Korean Gang and Taiwan Gang were citizens of the victorious country, and the US military was not very good at it. Therefore, the Japanese police easily turned to the Japanese gang to maintain the situation.

The Japanese gang has achieved unprecedented development. A large number of young people, even Japanese soldiers who were defeated in the Second World War, have joined the gang organization. Due to the struggle with the Korean Gang and the Taiwan Gang, the gang organization has gained "challengers" in the hearts of the Japanese people. The title of "Xia Dao".

In this period, 田冈一雄 led the Yamaguchi group to engage in multiple mergings with the Korean Gang and the Taiwan Gang, using intimidation, murder and bombs to retake many sites. Merchants on these sites turned to "Yamaguchi Group" pays protection fee, TianokaKazuo has no prestige in the "Yamaguchi Group" for a time.

In July 1946, the Yamaguchi group seniors held a meeting and unanimously elected 田冈一雄 as the third-generation leader of the Yamaguchi group.

That year, Kazuo Tianoka was 34 years old.

Chapter 4: The wife is a good eldest sister

田冈一雄 At the beginning of his tenure, he made three oaths: first , Let all team members have a formal job; second, clear rewards and punishments; third, start from oneself, self-discipline and self-improvement.

He set up a construction company and used the black forces to accept projects, first to make money, and second to solve the employment problem of gang members. The underworld is more likely to contract projects. If you don't contract, they will make trouble and make you unable to construct. Just like Chen Qili, the leader of the Zhulian Gang, once set up a hydropower installation company.

Being the boss, no younger brother is willing to follow without money.

Under the rule of Kazuo Tianoka, the Yamaguchi group’s gang rules were also very strict. Violation of gang rules could result in severed fingers and death. Later, the severed finger became a symbol of the Japanese gang, as if you keep rooting your fingers, it means that your qualifications in the gang are not deep enough.

A Brief History of the Yamaguchi Formation (A Century of Japanese Gangsters) - DayDayNews

田冈一雄 also knows that both kindness and power are equal. If his subordinates are in trouble, he will definitely help each other. If he is oppressed by other gangs, he must go for revenge.

In February 1947, Japan's economy suffered severe inflation, resulting in food shortages.

As long as young people have nothing to eat, they can eat at Kazuo Tianoka's house. There was a popular saying at that time:

Go to Tiangang, where there is rice to eat.

So young people who had no food to eat came one after another. These people are very good at eating. Kazuo Tianoka had to stipulate that each person was allowed to eat only one bowl of rice and any vegetable soup.

Due to too many young people coming to vote, the two maids at Kazuo Tianoka’s family were too busy to help the master’s wife 深山文子 also personally cook, she tried her best to get some delicious meals.

Some young people have committed crimes and have been detained. After 深山文子 knows, they will also send food to them.

Even the Japanese policemen expressed their envy, saying that the younger brothers of the "Yamaguchi Group" are blessed, and there are still people delivering food in the cell.

The younger generation of the "Yamaguchi Group" thanked 深山文子 and said:

You are such a great sister.

Soon, Kazuo Tianoka united a large number of underworld brothers who were willing to work for him, and Fumiko Miyama also established her own prestige in the help. Kazuo Tianoka died many years later, Fumiko Miyama returned Once presided over the overall situation of the gang.

Chapter 5: Gorgeous turn around, crazy whitewashing

The so-called economic base determines the superstructure, the country is like this, so is the gang. In fact, the establishment of a gang is to make money. Only with money can we feed more brothers and grow the gang.

This is the case for the Green Gang, the Bamboo Union Group, and the Yamaguchi Group.

For a gang organization, there are three ways to make money: one is by stealing, which is slow to come in and is looked down upon by peers; the other is for pornography, gambling and drugs, which is fast. , But the social harm is great and it is easy to be attacked by the police; another way to establish a formal company to make money is legalized.

For example, Hong Kong’s Xin Ngee An, later under the leadership of Xiang shou, successfully became a famous entertainment company in Hong Kong.

Yamaguchi was involved in performing arts in the second generation of the head 山口登, but the performing arts career at that time was similar to Jinrong’s co-stage, which was equivalent to opening a theater, or like now Opening a dance hall can make money, but its small scale does not count as entering the entertainment circle.

Post-war Japan’s performing arts business developed unprecedentedly. Kazuo Tianoka entered the entertainment circle, established the entertainment company Kobe Arts Club, and signed a number of well-known artists, such as first-line singer 美空云雀 and so on.

A Brief History of the Yamaguchi Formation (A Century of Japanese Gangsters) - DayDayNews

Because the underworld has invaded the entertainment circle, many show stars can only develop in the entertainment circle under this umbrella only if they have signed a contract with a company with a gangster background. The same goes for the entertainment circle in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Many years later, the famous Japanese actor 高倉健, is said to be a member of the "Yamaguchi Group", and made a biographical film for 田冈一雄.

A Brief History of the Yamaguchi Formation (A Century of Japanese Gangsters) - DayDayNews

In addition to the establishment of a performance company, Kazuo Tiangang also established a company called "Koyo Transport" at Kobe Port, which specializes in terminal freight industry.

In order to become the leader of the freight industry, he established the "National Harbor Cargo Handling Promotion Association" non-governmental organization, and hired the Japanese Minister of Construction 河野一郎 as a consultant.

This organization is actually equivalent to the wharf porter’s union, which is similar to the seamen’s union mentioned earlier. It owns a company in this industry and controls the trade union in this industry. So "Jiayang Transportation" has developed rapidly. Seized one-third of the terminal freight market.

At that time, during the Korean War, the Port of Kobe became a US military supply base. The cargo volume increased sharply. Military supplies were piled up around the harbor and docks. The freight companies of the "Yamaguchi Group" made a lot of money.

After having money, the Yamaguchi group expanded their power to the whole of Japan while using money to find a protective umbrella. For example, the Minister of Transport 河野一郎 is one of the umbrellas of the "Yamaguchi Group".

The underworld can make money if it has a certain scale. Only with money can it be expanded. If the scale is expanded to a certain extent, it must seek an umbrella. Only with an umbrella can it "unify the rivers and lakes". Forever."

All the gangs follow this kind of development routine. The Green Gang of Shanghai Bund used Lao Jiang as a protective umbrella. Before the Kuomintang retreated, they could call the wind and rain in Shanghai. Unfortunately, the umbrella was wrong. In the end, Huang Jinrong swept the street and died in Hong Kong. In order to make Xiao Jiang a protective umbrella, the Zhulian Gang in Taiwan assassinated Jiangnan, a writer in the United States who spoke badly about Xiao Jiang, but was used by the umbrella and almost wiped out the entire army (see the Wanxiaodao public account "The Past of the Zhulian Gang"); Few people can get to this step, and the Yamaguchi group is an outstanding representative.

The Yamaguchi group has strong financial resources, and has a protective umbrella, and began to dominate the rivers and lakes:

successively destroyed the Mingyouhui, defeated the Duohui, killed the Qingshui group, fired the Oshima group In the end, there was a larger-scale merger in Hiroshima. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and the Yamaguchi group had the upper hand.

Mentioned the underworld confederacy. The images that everyone’s brains are supplementing may be the two groups of people in "Young and Dangerous" hacking and chasing each other with machetes, but compared to the Japanese gang’s conflagration, these pictures It's weak.

Because many of the Japanese underworld members were defeated in World War II. They had high military literacy. When the fire broke out, they were in teams of three or four, armed with pistols, rifles and bomb grenades. How could this Nima be the underworld? It is military operations.

Every time the fire merges, there are heavy casualties.

Because of this, the Japanese police began to crack down on gangs many times. In 1964, the Japanese police issued the "Guidelines for Violent Suppression Measures", which included the Kobe Yamaguchi Group, Kobe Hontakai, Osaka Yanagawa Group, Atami Kinseikai, Tokyo Matsuba Association, The Tokyo Sumiyoshi Society, the Tokyo Japanese National Quintessence Society, the Tokyo Toho Society, the Kawasaki Righteous People's Party of Japan, and the Tokyo North Star Society have designated them as the top ten violent groups and want to ban them.

However, by 1971, the "Yamaguchi Group" had developed 478 related organizations and 10508 members in various prefectures in Japan, becoming Japan's largest cross-regional corporate underworld organization.

In the 1970s, the Japanese police conducted the second and thirdViolent groups banned operations. It is equivalent to our country's special fight against gangsters.

However, the Yamaguchi Formation still stands tall.

Until July 11, 1978, the 66-year-old 田冈一雄 was shot and wounded by a member of the Matsuda Group 鸣海清, and the arrogant arrogance of the Yamaguchi Group was temporary. Stop.

However, the gunman 鸣海清 was also pursued and killed by the "Yamaguchi Group" and began to flee, and finally under pressure, he committed suicide by jumping off the cliff. The worst was that his body was bitten by wild dogs and was eventually found by patrol dogs in the scenic spot.

On July 23, 1981, Kazuo Taoka suffered a myocardial infarction and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. This time 田冈一雄 was not so lucky. That night, he died in the arms of 深山文子, at the age of 68.

The 35-year-long 田冈时代 of the "Yamaguchi Formation" has ended here.

Chapter 6: The Funeral of the Godfather

The Yamaguchi Group has grown considerably under the third-generation leader Kazuo Taoka, so he is called the "Godfather of the Yamaguchi Group."

According to the rules of the Japanese underworld, a grand funeral should be held for 田冈一雄. But at that time, the second person of the "Yamaguchi Group" and the successor to the group leader 山本健一 was in prison and could not be the officiant of the funeral. Others did not have sufficient qualifications and prestige to hold the funeral for a while.

深山文子 Seeing this, he had to summon the relatives and family members and held a simple funeral.

But this simple funeral has lost the reputation of the "Yamaguchi Group", and also lost 田冈一雄 Yi Shiying Ming, the leaders of the "Yamaguchi Group" insisted on holding another grand funeral.

For this reason, the "Yamaguchi Group" disregarded the police's repeated warnings and carried out preparations for up to three months, including full appeal for 山本健一 so that he could come back to preside over the funeral. The lawyer appealed to the Osaka Supreme Court for Kenichi Yamamoto, and applied for bail on the grounds that 山本健一 suffered from severe liver cirrhosis. The police are well aware of the status and activity energy of 山本健一, and will not agree to it anyway.

In the end, the "Yamaguchi Group" had no choice but to co-host the funeral with 深山文子, and invited the chairman of the "daochuanhui" 稻川圣城 to serve as the funeral of Tiangang. Executive Chairman.

A Brief History of the Yamaguchi Formation (A Century of Japanese Gangsters) - DayDayNews

On the last Sunday of October 1981, the funeral of 田冈一雄 was held as scheduled. More than 1,000 people from more than 200 gang leaders from all over Japan attended the memorial ceremony. .

They arrogantly and arrogantly set the Taoka Memorial Hall near the Hyogo County Court.

The Japanese police are on the verge of an enemy. They not only searched these gang leaders in advance, and seized more than 100 pistols, 192 knives, and some drugs; they also set up the "Yamaguchi Group Disintegration Operations Headquarters" to dispatch police officers. More than 1,000 people and another 800 riot police were deployed around the Hyogo County Courthouse, and 500 police officers were in charge of checking the guests attending the funeral in 16 locations...

In addition to the triad leaders, there were many entertainment circles participating in the funeral. Popular stars, such as Takakura Ken.

Takakura Ken became famous in the gangster movie "Abashiri Banwai", and he also played Kazuo Taoka himself in "Taioka Life Trilogy".

A person in the film industry said: "In the 20 years from the late 1950s to the late 1970s, which Japanese artist has never been helped by Tian Gang?"

The funeral chief is 65 years old Shenshan Wenzi.

At that time, with the exception of Kenichi Yamamoto, it was difficult for others to host the audience. Fumiko Shenshan was able to convince the crowd, mainly becauseI gave a lot of rice to my little brother in the year, but she couldn't be the gang boss after all.

Yamamoto Kenichi eventually did not become the fourth-generation leader. In February 1982, when he was about to be released from prison, he died of hemorrhage from liver cirrhosis.

The leaderless "Yamaguchi Group" once again fell into chaos.

The big men from all walks of life started fighting in order to compete for the throne. Later, with the strong support of 深山文子, 竹中正久 became the fourth-generation leader, but "the Yamaguchi group" The second-level group "Yihehui" has always been at odds with 竹中正久, so it broke away from the "Yamaguchi Group" and established itself, just as the "Yamaguchi Group" left the "Oshima Group" back then.

How can the second-level group say that they will leave after they leave? The new leader 竹中正久 soon began to clean up the door. As a result, 竹中正久 and the person No. 2 at the time were "One Peace Meeting" "Anti-kill.

The "Yamaguchi Group" immediately retaliated, which eventually resulted in 19 deaths and 49 injuries in the "One Peace Society", 10 deaths and 17 injuries in the Yamaguchi Group. The police directly arrested 560 people, the largest in Japanese history. The scale of a gangster fight was called "Shanyi Resistance" in history.

In 1989, the dispute ended and the boss of the "Shanjian Group" branch of the "Yamaguchi Group" 渡边芳则 succeeded the five generations.

That year, 渡边芳则 was 48 years old.

Chapter 7: This gangster is a bit cute

In the first half of his life, Watanabe Yoshinobu also grew up in fighting and going to the prison for gilding. If it was not ruthless enough, he did not squat. Once in prison, there is no qualification to be the head.

But compared to 田冈一雄 16-year-old picking eyes, it is also weak, but in the face of ruthless contemporaries, Watanabe Yoshihide is still a standout existence.

渡边芳则 After the fifth generation, the rolling wheels of the times have been crushed to the 1990s.

At this time, the government has recovered its vitality and is fully capable of controlling the underworld, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If they fight and kill every day, it is self-defeating.

Therefore, the "Yamaguchi Group" no longer regards itself as a gang, but as a group company. They cooperated with some consortia to enter the real estate, stocks, artwork, and non-performing debt consolidation industries.

usually wears a suit and leather shoes, and wears a pair of sunglasses. It looks like a Victoria's Secret Show when walking on the street.

A Brief History of the Yamaguchi Formation (A Century of Japanese Gangsters) - DayDayNews

At the same time, in order to improve the reputation among the people, they also started to do charity.

In 1995, the Osaka and Kobe earthquakes, the "Yamaguchi Group" was the first to come out to give the people porridge and help the victims, faster than the government's self-defense force.

This behavior was highly praised by the public and the media. Later, when major disasters occurred in Japan, the "Yamaguchi Group" always rushed to the front line and vacated their offices to shelter the homeless.

They will also help disadvantaged groups by distributing cakes and cleaning up the community during the holidays.

Every Halloween, they give out candies to children.

In this way, even if the police wanted to ban the Yamaguchi group, they would still have no name.

In 2005, the 64-year-old fifth-generation leader 渡边芳则 retired, and 63-year-old 筱田建市 (also known as Siren) took over.

筱田建市 has been in trouble for many years, always worried that his enemies would seek revenge on him, and often carried a pistol with bullets, which was illegal, so he was imprisoned for 6 years.

筱田建市 When he was studying in the prison, the Yamaguchi group was made up of Gao Shanqing Division Acting Help, in the future, Gao Shanqing Division also became the heir of the seventh generation of the Yamaguchi Group.

In April 2011, 筱田建市 was released from prison. A large number of reporters came to interview him. Wearing a top hat and a pair of sunglasses, he frequently waved to the reporters and was full of style.

筱田建市 said in a media interview that once the "Yamaguchi Group" is disbanded, 30,000 to 40,000 members will lose their livelihoods. He expects this will cause social unrest, because many young members may form new gangs, and these new gangs will not obey the long-standing traditional values ​​of Japanese gangs.

"I know this sounds unbelievable, but I am protecting the Yamaguchi group to reduce those violent groups. My organization is actually misunderstood. In this so-called violent group industry, our way of doing things is actually very Gentle.”

On December 1, 2012, the fifth-generation head of the Yamaguchi Group 渡边芳则 passed away at the age of 71.

After that, 筱田建市 took over power to develop the Yamaguchi Formation even stronger, and its ambitions began to expand.

Chapter 8 This gang is very rich

Under the rule of Shinoda Jianshi, the Yamaguchi group also established its own five-level leader:

1. The most important thing to follow is the internal unity Be one with your relatives; 2. Have love and faith when in contact with others; 3. Obey the etiquette of elders and children from beginning to end; 4. Have your own ethics in society and not invite criticism that shouldn't be made; 5. Listen The experience of the ancestors improves one's personality.

In 2013, in order to publicize these five guidelines, the Yamaguchi team founded the "Yamaguchi Shimbun" to report on the Yamaguchi team's action plan and activity guidelines.

On April 2, 2014, in order to adapt to the development of the Internet, Yamaguchi Group also established an "official" website: Yamaguchi Group Co., Ltd. The website indicates that the company is mainly engaged in the civil engineering department, and it is the contractor.

The website also says "Our website production staff are all laymen, the page is a bit ugly, please accept it."

This is so cute, cute, cute?

They also wrote in the head office: We do not allow child labor, do not sell drugs, and do not throw cigarette butts.

The underworld is almost becoming a model of social morality.

At this time, when people see the Yamaguchi group news, they will be happy. This gangster is too interesting, hahaha, unlike the previous mention of gangsters, there will be fighting and killing in front of them. Scenes.

Even the Hong Kong 14K double bonus red stick Chen Huimin also praised the Yamaguchi group, saying that the Hong Kong gang is far behind the Yamaguchi group, and only the Qinggang can be compared with the Yamaguchi group.

This shows that the brand promotion of the "Yamaguchi Group" is very impressive, and the gangsters can be washed like this. I suggest Fan Bingbing and other bad artists to learn more.

Of course, such a good reputation is just the appearance, just like the official website said that it is mainly engaged in the civil engineering industry, and it is just whitewashing. In 2013, the Yamaguchi Group's agent head 高層清司, due to instructions A total of 40 million yen (approximately RMB 2.61 million) for blackmailing a construction contractor was sentenced to 6 years in prison.

It can also be seen from here that the "Yamaguchi Group" is still a dog that can't change eating shit. It is a "glossy surface with pus from behind". (If the boss of the Yamaguchi group sees my Wanxiaodao writing like this, will he hit me?)

Also in 2014, the US "Fortune" magazine introduced the income of the world’s five major underworld organizations. Japan’s Yamaguchi Group generates 80 billion U.S. dollars in annual revenue (approximately 480 billion yuan), which is one digit more than the second-placed Russia’s "Sontsev Brothers"’s 8.5 billion U.S. dollars.

Compared with the Chinese Internet companies at that time, it is also the second only to the existence of Ali Tencent.

The Yamaguchi Group has such a large asset, the question is, who will inherit next, or how will the benefits be distributed?

You see, if a family is poor and white, brothers and sisters have nothing to fight against. Even if they have to fight, they won’t make trouble. But when there are many assets, even if the parents only leave a set of real estate. , Brothers and sisters will also fight for a broken blood.

What's more, the Yamaguchi group is not a family, but an organization, and there have always been many second-level groups in this organization. After 筱田建市, which second-level group leader will be in power?

An undercurrent surging inside the "Shankou Formation".

Chapter 9: Divisions and Disputes

But the current head of 筱田建市 is going to pass on the position of head to Kiyoshi Takayama, who is also the "Kodokai", and he even plans to move the headquarters of the "Yamaguchi Group" to the "Kodokai" Nagoya where it is located.

"Shanjian Group" leader Kunio Inoue flew up immediately.
