"My people have already arrived at their destination. As long as you prepare the information, there will be no fish that slip through the net."

"My intelligence is absolutely fine."

Tang Shizun is very confident.

For this day, Tang Shizun investigated the whole of Chongqing.Then he looked at the street and said to Li Jishen: "General Li, this area is the largest gathering place of opium dens in Chongqing. The important thing is that most of the opium dens here are run by people from the Heqingtang of the Chongqing Gelaohui , They claim to have more than 4 Paoge brothers. Not only the smoking dens in this area, but also many casinos, brothels, and docks in Chongqing. These people have weapons in their hands, and many of them participated in the Revolution of [-] , no one dares to mess with this area. That's why this place is handed over to the army."

Li Jishen nodded.

Older brother will?Brother Pao? 4 people?

For a general like Li Jishen who graduated from a regular military academy, these people were simply out of the ordinary.That's why he smiled and said to Wan Xuan next to him, "Deying, it's up to you."

"rest assured."

Wan Xuancai turned his head and said to the officers next to him: "I have sealed off all the opium dens in this street, and I have captured all the people inside. If anyone dares to resist on the way, he will be shot. Ask them after arresting them." If the head of the family is present, if they are, they will be held incommunicado. If they are not, then pass the news to the police brothers and let them arrest them.”

"Yes."

"Also, everyone should remember discipline. I will seal everything inside and wait for the logistics department to collect it. If anyone has dirty hands and feet, I don't care how old he is, just take off his clothes and leave."

"Yes."

"Set off."

opium.

There are too many opium smokers in Sichuan, and there are countless opium dens.The circular issued by Duan Xun in the name of the governor to prohibit the cultivation of opium and the prohibition of opium trading did not work at all.

Or no one cares at all.

This kind of announcement, every new governor will write it once, basically just going through the motions.Although there will be such an announcement when the new governor takes office, no one actually implements it.Because there are too many people involved in opium, you can still control so many people smoking opium.Whoever dares to trade in opium has power behind him.In the past, the local garrison even served as a protective umbrella for them, or the governors in Sichuan were themselves related to these people.

Just like Yin Changheng, who rose up after the Revolution of [-] in Sichuan, who was able to fight and knew how to fight, and made great contributions to suppressing the Tibetan rebellion. It can even be said that he can make great achievements in Chinese history.

But Yin Changheng himself was born in Sichuan Gelaohui.After he became the governor of Sichuan, the whole Chengdu and Chongqing were full of smoke and smog, and there were Gelao halls everywhere.So much so that when he was the governor of Sichuan, the Sichuan military government was known as the "Paoge government".After being condemned by the provinces at that time, Yin Changheng began to ban all kinds of open Gelao halls.Opium and Gelaohui are involved a lot, how could Yin Changheng care about it.

The same is true of Hu Jingyi, the governor of Sichuan after Yin Changheng.

As a representative of Sichuan's power faction, he has various interests in Sichuan.At that time, some Sichuan troops were the backstage of these opium merchants, and the backstage of these Sichuan troops was Hu Jingyi.Under such circumstances, what should Hu Jingyi do?

The flood of opium in Sichuan has something to do with Yunnan and Guizhou’s wanton trafficking of opium to Sichuan, but what’s more, Sichuan itself failed to control the flood of opium.Now that Duan Xun is in charge of Sichuan, he has no entanglement with the local power faction in Sichuan, let alone interests.That's why Duan Xun dared to act.

There was no sound for more than a month, so many people took what Duan Xun said as fart, thinking that Duan Xun was no different from those previous governors.It's time to sell, to smoke, those opium halls are open on the street in a grand manner.

1916 9 Month 29 Day.

Duan Xun, who endured for more than a month, gave Yang Wei an official order in Chengdu and the Sichuan Police Department.Ban the opium dens in the whole province and confiscate the opium in the whole province.Of course, the order is the whole province, but Duan Xun is still unable to completely and directly control the whole province.

So we can only start a mighty anti-smoking operation in Chengdu and Chongqing.

In order to cooperate with the work of the Police Department, Duan Xun handed over Duan Yong's Armed Police Army First Brigade to Yang Wei to help Chengdu's anti-drug work.While in Chongqing, Duan Xun was also worried that the elders in Chongqing would resist, so he mobilized two regiments of Li Jishen's No.30 Third Brigade in the name of the Sichuan Governor.About 3000 people were waiting for orders in the suburbs of Chongqing, and more than [-] people followed Li Jishen into Chongqing.

Duan Xun's meaning is very simple.

This time, in the name of sweeping the smoke, those opium merchants will be brought to justice.Of course, the opium merchants are actually incidental, and more importantly, they have to clean up the Gelaohui that has been entrenched in Sichuan for so many years.

As long as he was addicted to opium, Duan Xun didn't care about anything this time, and all the leaders of the Gelaohui would be arrested.As long as there is resistance, the army will directly suppress it.Duan Xun didn't care how many people died at this time.

A sensation throughout Sichuan.

Older brother will?

very strong.They have influence in every way, but only so much.Facing warlords like Duan Xun with guns and troops, their strength is still not enough.For a warlord like Duan Xun, if you estimate the influence of all aspects, then it is easier for an organization like the Gelaohui to survive.After all, they have been rooted in Sichuan for many years and can influence many people.

But once a warlord like Duan Xun wants to wipe out the elder brother's association regardless of influence, these elder brother's association will have no strength to resist.Especially this time, Duan Xun still attacked suddenly, without giving them any room to prepare.

"How's it going?"

"amazing."

Since Chengdu and Chongqing launched a round of crackdown on opium on September 9, Yang Wei has not rested and directed the opium raid in Chengdu.This time in Chengdu and Chongqing, Duan Xun mobilized nearly 29 people from the army alone, and the police department also mobilized thousands of policemen.It was Duan Xun's biggest military operation in Sichuan after the War to Protect the Country.

They arrested people, seized them, and even staged a shootout at the Chongqing Wharf.

At the entrance of the Gelaohuitang that can control the Chongqing Wharf, there are many brothers, and even people with weapons in their hands.There are many cargo ships at Chongqing Wharf that contain opium.Many of these opiums were even grown in eastern Sichuan, that is, some counties around Chongqing, which were packaged to the wharf in Chongqing, ready to be transported to Hubei, Jiangsu and other places.The entry of opium from Yunnan and Guizhou into Sichuan also made Sichuan merchants see business opportunities, so they planted opium in eastern Sichuan and wanted to do opium trading.

This time all were censored.

How could it be so easy for people to check the elder brother society that has been rampant in the place for many years.

After all, that's a lot of money.Although opium is much cheaper now than it was decades ago, it is still a profitable business.The opium of a ship can be sold to buy weapons and ammunition for thousands of people.

In such a poor place in Yunnan, why did Tang Jiyao maintain so many Yunnan troops.It relies on selling opium.

So rebel.

Duan Xun's order was simple.As long as any opium trade is discovered at any Gelao hall, the principal and key members of that hall must be arrested.In this way, as more and more people are arrested, there will be more and more resistance.

Duan Xun then used more and more troops.

kill.

Duan Xun didn't care about the massacre at all.It will be very difficult to ban these brother elders, and it will be very difficult without Thunder.This time just to take advantage of the matter of opium, Duan Xun wants to kill the elders' associations in Chengdu and Chongqing.

If you don't kill someone, your blood will flow like a river. These people don't know how powerful the warlords are.

What is a warlord.

Warlords are local princes with money and guns.Not a gentleman.

Therefore, when the troops were mobilized this time, Duan Xun allowed the troops to enter the city with heavy weapons such as infantry artillery and heavy machine guns.As long as there is resistance, they are allowed to use small-caliber infantry artillery and heavy machine guns.

Originally, the armed forces of the Gelaohui were no match for the regular army, and Duan Xun's troops came in with heavy weapons, how could they stop the army.

"We seized a total of four shipments of opium at the Chongqing wharf. Some of them were grown by us in eastern Sichuan, and some came from Yunnan and Guizhou. At the wharf, there were many people who resisted, and some of them were former soldiers. of."
