Fengxian Jiangshan

"I heard that there are more and more rich people in Fengtian during this period, and more and more people are buying tobacco and soil. In my opinion, we will expand the scale in the future. The more we sell, the more we will earn. With money , what can't be done!"

"Commander Jiang is so right. Fengtian is full of silver, how can we not have your share? But I should be a little more careful. After all, Zhang Zuolin is not easy to deal with. This time I sent a useless boy. If you get caught, I'm worried that I'll cause trouble for Commander Jiang." Guo Xiaoshan said worriedly.

"What's the matter? As long as my uncle is still here, everyone will save face. There are so many troops in Rehe, they can't starve to death. Even if the lawsuit is brought to Emperor Yuan, I'm not afraid. Just let me do it , don't be afraid."

Everyone present also heard Jiang Commander's assurance, and they all showed joy. The sky fell, and there was a big one holding it up. Since they are not afraid, what fear do these small fish and shrimps have? Get rich behind your back.

While they were chatting and having a feast, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and several subordinates rushed over in a hurry.

"Commander, the county magistrate, it's not good, the Fengjun brigade has surrounded this place, and the brothers can't stop it at all!"

Suddenly Guo Xiaoshan's face changed wildly.He shouted loudly: "Isn't Fengjun going back to Fengtian? Why are you still making trouble for us?"

clap clap...

There were several rapid gunshots outside, and everyone in the room panicked. At this moment, they heard the sound of orderly footsteps, and a group of soldiers rushed in.

Naturally, Zhang Tinglan led the soldiers to kill them. Cheng Tianci had already reported to Zhang Tinglan the place where Guo Xiaoshan and the others met. Zhang Tinglan commanded his subordinates to surround the manor with lightning speed.

There was a guard standing guard who couldn't see the situation clearly and wanted to stop Zhang Tinglan, but the end could be imagined.They were all shot dead on the spot. Zhang Tinglan never relents when dealing with these gangsters. After killing a few guards, the soldiers rushed into the courtyard at a trot.

These soldiers ran without any disorder.It's completely like a person, every foot seems to be stepping on the heart of a person.Commander Jiang also saw this scene.I couldn't help but thump in my heart.

He has also been in the army for a long time, and he knows the quality of the army. He is definitely a rare elite soldier who can be so neat.At this time, he looked at Guo Xiaoshan with resentment in his eyes. The idiot told himself that the other party was recruits, so there was nothing to be afraid of.Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open, and you can't wait to strangle this blind thing to death.

In fact, this is indeed wronging Guo Xiaoshan. These are indeed recruits, but they have all undergone very strict training.Referring to the training standards of later generations, Zhang Tinglan also consulted Yang Yuting, and the training standards jointly formulated were infinitely stricter than those of other armies.

The independent brigade trained strictly in the Fengjun, ate well, and taught literacy. These are the three major characteristics. Under strict rewards and punishments, they made rapid progress. A few months ago, they could not even distinguish between left and right. After going through the most difficult initial stage, they seem to be enlightened. Everyone knows how to work hard, whether it is learning or training.

Moreover, Zhang Tinglan has already told them that there will be a parade soon, and if they can defeat the veterans of the 27th Division by then, even if they have officially joined the army, their benefits will be greatly improved, and they will be able to enjoy the benefits of the military welfare company allowance.

This is a huge attraction for all soldiers. The current general level of military pay is between six or seven oceans.However, in the face of layer upon layer deductions, the actual amount obtained is limited.And the food must be deducted from the inside. Many officers are thinking about food, and they should be as greedy as possible.

Therefore, what the soldiers eat most is cornmeal, boiled vegetables, put some coarse salt mixed with half of the sand and soil, and at most take a little oil to dip the pot.What soldiers eat largely determines how much combat power they have. During the War of Resistance, it was said that the Japanese were good at fighting with bayonets. The important reason is that they had better food and the soldiers were well-nourished.

Even Japanese military dogs eat better than Chinese soldiers. Under such conditions, the squadron not only does not have enough energy to fight, but even cannot escape.Officers and generals at all levels don’t treat soldiers as human beings at all. How much combat power can such a unit have? As a military commander, he must bear the responsibility. Tragedy cannot cover up incompetence. On the contrary, the more tragic the soldiers and generals are, the more they must investigate the reasons for this situation. , One general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops, and the head of state is incompetent and harms the whole country!

At the beginning of the establishment of the Independent Brigade, Zhang Tinglan formulated a strict system to prevent officers from exploiting soldiers. Meals are not included in the military pay, but are in charge of a separate logistics department. Soldiers' military pay is directly transferred to the bank account. Among them, the opportunity for officers at all levels to intervene was immediately blocked. Their main tasks were training and fighting, and they simply couldn't get involved in anything else.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Independent Brigade received solid military salaries without any water. If they pass the test of military exercises and eventually become a formal army, they can get a basic military salary of five oceans a month, and they can get bonuses for good training performance. , plus welfare allowances, there is no problem getting six or seven oceans.

Moreover, all their supplies are uniformly distributed, and the money can almost be remitted to their homes. Five or six yuan can already make a farmer live a comfortable life. Therefore, these soldiers cherish this opportunity very much in training and want to live a prosperous life. To be decent, you have to work hard.

The self-motivation radiated from the bottom of my heart is more useful than anything else. The recruits have made amazing progress. Every move has shown the quality of a strong soldier.These surrounded people felt their hearts jumping one after another. Some of the guards wanted to resist, but they were all beaten to the ground and tied into rice dumplings.

Zhang Tinglan walked in with a smile on his face, as if looking at prey. Guo Xiaoshan originally thought that Zhang Tinglan was an ordinary second-generation ancestor.Bringing soldiers over this time was just an opportunity for Lao Zhang to give him money. How could he know that he was blind, and the other party was a master of hiding and pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

"Head Zhang, we are all on our own. If we have anything to say, we are willing to accept punishment."

"County Guo, if I just arrived in Tongliao, you tell me this. Maybe there is still a chance, but it's too late now, and it's useless to say more."

As soon as Zhang Tinglan waved his hand, he asked his soldiers to tie up Guo Xiaoshan, and then ordered the entire Guo family to be searched.Don't think that the county magistrate is a petty official, the common people call them Lord Qingtian.It can already cover a county.Shun life against death, has great authority, so he is also called Bailihou.

In Guo Xiaoshan's home, more than 200 tans of opium, more than 20 oceans, and countless gold bars and treasures were found.The ill-gotten gains are aimed at these things, and Guo Xiaoshan is even easier to shoot him.

After dealing with Guo Xiaoshan, Zhang Tinglan turned his attention to Commander Jiang again.He sneered and said, "Your name is Jiang Xi, right? The nephew of Jiang Guiti, the governor of Rehe, and the commander of the Rehe Patrol Battalion, I didn't expect that such a big man as you would go to Fengtian. It's really unexpected. .”

"Now that you know my identity, why don't you let me go!"

"That was a dream." Zhang Tinglan said with a sneer: "Jiang Xi, how many opium have you sold, how many people have died because of your family ruin, and all the bad things you have done, your retribution has come."

Jiang Xi never thought that after reporting his identity, the other party would not care. Jiang Guiti is a well-known figure with rich experience. Even Lao Yuan was polite to Jiang Guiti and did not dare to neglect him.

Zhang Zuolin was a complete junior in front of Jiang Guiti, so he wanted to show the old man a little face, but the other party was not only not afraid, on the contrary there was a trace of excitement, as if he was waiting for him to be caught, Jiang Xi couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.

Of course, Zhang Tinglan was very happy to catch this guy. In fact, he already knew that Jiang Guiti was behind Rehe Opium, but there was not enough evidence. Now that Jiang Guiti's nephew has been captured, Jiang Guiti can't escape up.

Speaking of Jiang Guiti, he was considered a hero in the first half of his life. During the battle against the Nian Army, he rose rapidly with his military exploits, and made great contributions in the eradication of the Hui Rebellion.During the First Sino-Japanese War, Jiang Guiti also led his subordinates to fight the Japanese to the death, and he was regarded as a loyal and brave general.

But this is old calendar, he is over seventy now, he is old and dizzy, he can't lead the army to fight at all, and he can't restrain his subordinates, Rehe's opium is flooding and poisoning the world, this old man has to bear the main responsibility.

Zhang Tinglan had thought a long time ago that he would use the opium issue to attack Jiang Guiti's reputation and take the opportunity to deepen Fengtian's influence into Rehe.This plan was born because Rehe's strategic location is too important. Rehe is located between Mongolia and Northeast China, which is Fengtian's backyard.

If you can go down to Rehe, Fengtian is equivalent to wearing armor on your back, and you can safely deal with Japan in the east and Tsarist Russia in the back. Rehe is Fengtian's rear.Moreover, Rehe is also close to Beijing and Tianjin, and occupying here will form a siege of Beijing. No matter how you measure it, Zhang Tinglan can't let it go.

Therefore, after capturing Jiang Xi, Zhang Tinglan already had a plan of action in mind, and the target was veteran Jiang Gui.At this time, Beijing was doing its best to deal with Cai E's guards, and had no time to take care of other things. Zhang Tinglan happened to be able to fish in troubled waters.

With such a plan, how could Zhang Tinglan let Jiang Xi go, and let his subordinates detain him directly. None of the other drug dealers escaped, and they were all caught.Zhang Tinglan destroyed several opium warehouses one after another. After a lot of trouble, a total of nearly [-] boxes of opium were found, [-]% of which flowed in from the direction of Rehe, and some were local opium.

In addition, more than 200 people were arrested, and the whole Tongliao was shaken. Over the years, it has never seen such a large-scale opium control. Naturally, it has attracted the attention of many newspapers, and of course there are many of them They were all hired by Zhang Tinglan.

After the reporters arrived in Tongliao, Zhang Tinglan showed them the seized opium, and at the same time showed them the arrested opium dealers. The most surprising thing was that Jiang Guiti's nephew was also arrested.

These newspapers soon broke the news that Jiang Guiti disregarded the life and death of the common people, and smuggled opium on a large scale. Many newspapers wrote that Jiang Guiti was smoking opium, and he sold opium, just to help these people That's all.

Soon the public opinion was in an uproar. As the commander-in-chief of a province, smuggling opium was already very lowly, and he was not ashamed of it, but proud of it.For a while, all the newspapers were scolding Jiang Guiti, and the troublemakers turned up Jiang Guiti's past scandals and made a lot of noise.

Jiang Guiti, who was in Chengde, had no idea that a storm was coming to him. By the time the old man woke up like a dream, he had already become the target of public criticism!

Chapter 148 Moving the Knife

Zhang Tinglan took the newspaper and browsed it hastily, and found that many of the articles were scolding Jiang Gui, and some forces who tended to defend the Communist Party and opposed Lao Yuan also joined in.You must know that not long ago, Jiang Guiti took the lead in supporting Yuan Shikai's ascension to the throne.

The general who supported the imperial system was an opium dealer, and it was a blow to Lao Yuan, so they all pointed the finger at Jiang Guiti. The old man had fought all his life, and he also crawled out of the dead. He had never been bullied like this.

Isn't this late festival not guaranteed, but to deal with these newspapers, not to mention Jiang Laoguo, even Yuan Shikai can't do anything, so what can he do? After thinking for a long time, the old man decided to find Zhang Zuolin, the bad guy with the red beard thing.

Jiang Guiti immediately sent a telegram to Zhang Zuolin, asking Lao Zhang to release him quickly. Zhang Zuolin threw it aside after receiving the telegram. If he went back ten years, Zhang Zuolin might still care about Jiang Guiti, but now there is no awe at all. .

"With one foot in the coffin, I don't know how to abdicate, this Jiang Laoguo is really stupid!"

"The commander-in-chief is wise, Jiang Guiti is just old and incompetent, but the commander-in-chief must also pay attention, this old guy has no connections, maybe someone will speak for him." Yu Chonghan said with a smile.

After being recommended by the Japanese, Yu Chonghan has become Zhang Zuolin's diplomatic advisor and is qualified to participate in some important events. Lao Zhang nodded.

"Consultant Yu, please work hard. Go to Tongliao and organize a court to interrogate all the drug dealers involved in the case. Don't let any one go."

Zhang Zuolin asked Yu Chonghan to organize the court, which was actually just a shield. If anyone wanted to help Jiang Gui, he could use the name of the court to perfunctory. Yu Chonghan also knew Zhang Zuolin's plan.He immediately set off for Tongliao.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan was also very busy in Tongliao. It was easy to arrest people, but it was more troublesome to deal with the follow-up work. The property and goods of these merchants had to be cleaned up, the hidden warehouses had to be found, and the opium and oceans found had to be sorted out. The number, one by one, must be perfect, and the evidence must be continuously provided to reporters, and Jiang Laoguo's crimes must be published in the newspaper.Put pressure on Jiang Guiti.

Just when everything was cleaned up, Zhang Tinglan called Cheng Tianci over again.No one would help for no reason, and Cheng Tianci provided information to Zhang Tinglan, so naturally he had a plan.

"Mr. Cheng, from now on, you will ask Fengjun to specialize in Rehe's opium, and after buying it, hand it over to us. You are not allowed to sell it to anyone without permission."

"Don't worry, Captain Zhang. I will do it, but the villain still has two things to say. I can only guarantee that there will be no problems with the bulk opium. If some small merchants or ordinary people carry opium, I can't do anything about it."

"When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Opium has been a persistent disease for many years. For the time being, we can only catch the big ones and let go of the small ones." Zhang Tinglan also knows that drugs are often associated with huge profits, and even in later generations, it is difficult to completely eradicate them.It can only be controlled within a tolerable range, and China is in a mess. It is wishful thinking for Fengtian to want to be alone.
