"Principal, let me think about it."

"Better hurry up. He said in his private telegram to me that he is now reorganizing the army and there are many positions. If you decide early, he may save you a good position. If you decide late, he will reorganize all over there." Finished, it will be difficult to reserve a good position for you when the time comes."

"Yes."

"Go."

"Governor Yang."

Syria.

Yang Wei secretly left Chengdu and came to Syria without telling anyone.Only Duan Xun and Yang Wei knew about Yang Wei's plan to seduce opium merchants in Yunnan and Guizhou.Because the plan this time was completely arranged by Yang Wei alone.

At this time, the troops stationed in Syria were the second regiment under Fang Dingying's Fourth Mixed Brigade, and the original regiment leader was Song Tiancai.However, Song Tiancai was appointed by Duan Xun as the commander of the Independent Brigade of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army, and it was also the only independent brigade of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army.Therefore, 25-year-old Zhang Zizhong succeeded Song Tiancai as the head of the second regiment of the [-]th Mixed Brigade after finishing the course taught by officers to the brigade.

The strength of this army is still very strong.

"Head Zhang, you should have received the order."

"Yes. The brigade commander called and asked me to follow Governor Yang's orders with full authority."

"it is good."

Fang Dingying's fourth mixed brigade.

Regardless of the fact that it is the Fourth Mixed Brigade in name, this unit is actually a unit of Duan Xun's direct line.Starting from the brigade commander Fang Dingying, most of the officers from the fourth mixed brigade were brought by Duan Xun from the west of Henan, and their combat effectiveness was very strong.Even more than half of the soldiers of the Fourth Mixed Brigade came from Shandong, Henan, and Zhili areas.This unit currently has nearly 8000 soldiers, and only about [-] soldiers belonged to the original Fourth Mixed Brigade, and the rest were recruited by Duan Xun's own troops.

And even more so with officers.

The former officer of the Fourth Mixed Brigade, Duan Xun transferred the Fourth Mixed Brigade under various names.And he sent his direct line officers into the fourth mixed brigade, which made the current fourth mixed brigade completely become Duan Xun's direct line troops.

And Zhang Zizhong in front of him is an officer recruited by Duan Xun himself from Shandong.He also participated in the officer teaching team run by Duan Xun in Chengdu. After graduation, he was assigned to the Fourth Mixed Brigade to replace Song Tiancai.He is already the head of the regiment at a young age, and he is directly assigned to the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan in Syria. It can be seen how much Duan Xun trusts the young officer in front of him.

Yang Wei is not without worries.

After all, I have no friendship with these generals of Duan Xun.And I am a member of the police system, a member of the government department, and has nothing to do with the army.More importantly, Zhang Zizhong in front of him is a key member of the People's Party's peripheral youth group, but because he did not join the People's Party, Yang Wei could not tell Zhang Zizhong that he was the Secretary-General of the People's Party Central Committee.I am afraid that these people will not be easy to command because they are officers of Duan Xun's direct line.

But looking at Zhang Zizhong's appearance, he was very relieved.

Yang Wei is also very satisfied with the military discipline of Duan Xun's troops.Yang Wei had long known that Duan Xun's army was very strict, and he knew it just by looking at Zhang Zizhong in front of him.

"Head Zhang, let me briefly tell you about this incident. I, the chief of the police, came to Syria in person because a big event happened here, a really big event. Gao County is about to concentrate The opium merchants in Yunnan and Guizhou are discussing a big opium deal. General Duan ordered that opium harms the country and the people, and the opium merchants are a group of people who deserve to be cut to death, so we ask us to arrest them all.”

"Yes."

Zhang Zizhong was indeed very puzzled.

Although Zhang Zizhong is not familiar with Yang Wei, he also knows that Yang Wei is a big shot.Since Yang Wei appeared in front of everyone, Duan Xun immediately entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.Before Duan Xun became the governor of Sichuan, Duan Xun handed over to Yang Wei the responsibility of Chongqing, the only largest city.After Duan Xun entered Chengdu, Yang Wei became the vice-governor of Sichuan and concurrently the director of the Sichuan Police Department to organize police work in Sichuan.

Yang Wei is definitely a heavyweight giant in Sichuan politics.

How could such a big man come to Syria quietly.Even Zhang Zizhong thought that Duan Xun was going to fight Yunnan.But now that he heard Yang Wei say that, Zhang Zizhong understood why.Since Duan Xun ruled Sichuan and Yang Wei became the chief of the police, Sichuan has banned smoking.

"You can't leak anything about this matter. This time I want to wipe out all the opium merchants from Yunnan and Guizhou. It's just that the police force here is too weak, and I don't trust the police station here. That's why I mobilized you Most of your troops are from western Henan, and have little to do with the people here. Commander Zhang, tell me if you can keep it secret."

"Governor Yang, don't worry."

"Okay. Let your troops take out of Syria in the name of training, and then we will quietly go to Gao County."

"Yes."

"Those opium dealers have guns. Once something happens, I allow you to shoot and suppress it."

"Yes."

Gao County.

A small county at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan.Been active these days.Although Duan Xun entered Sichuan and began to reorganize Sichuan's power, after all, it has been less than half a year since Duan Xun entered Chengdu, and the time is still too short.

Now it is the main place where Sichuan can be controlled, just around Chengdu and Chongqing.

In some border areas, Duan Xun still couldn't reach in, or Duan Xun didn't have the energy to take care of their affairs.And places like Gaoxian belong to the border areas that Duan Xun has not had time to fully control.Because Gao County is right on the border of Sichuan and Yunnan, it is relatively chaotic in the first place, and there are people from various religions and streams.

This is even more so after the War to Protect the Country.

It's all managed by the locals themselves.

At this time in Gao County, many foreigners began to come here.Because there is a big businessman in Sichuan who wants to buy a large amount of opium and sell it to Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu and other places through the waterways of Chongqing.

How strong is this person?

In fact, many people have never seen his real face. Most people don't know whether he is a man or a woman, what he looks like, and what his age is.It's just that this person's reputation is known for his amazing skills.There is even news that this person is Duan Xun, the new governor of Sichuan.Duan Xun arrested opium merchants in Sichuan in order to monopolize the business for himself.And it is very well-founded, because many of the businessmen who bought a large amount of opium were guarded by soldiers.And there are some foreign accents.In the current army with a foreign accent in Sichuan, only Duan Xun's army.

Associating these, many opium merchants judged in this way.The bastard Duan Xun, the governor of Sichuan, blocked everyone's money in order to monopolize the opium business and make money for himself.

When the situation in Sichuan was so severe, this person was able to sell a large amount of opium, how could it be possible without a government background.And it is still the way of Chongqing, and the strength behind it cannot be underestimated.So everyone is cursing Duan Xun behind their backs, but many of them hope to get in touch with this big businessman.Because the big businessman had already spent hundreds of thousands of silver dollars in the previous two times.

This time his business is bigger.

Therefore, a large number of opium merchants from Yunnan and Guizhou were attracted to Gao County.Because this person is doing big business and wants to see everyone's products and prices.As long as it is confirmed, opium in the northern region will be purchased in large quantities in the future.

At present, opium from Yunnan and Guizhou mainly enters Guangdong through Guangxi.Because life in Guangdong is rich, opium sales are amazing.The situation is not so good when selling to the north.Especially after Duan Xun came to Sichuan, the opium trade in Sichuan was hit hard.As a result, opium merchants in Yunnan and Guizhou accumulated a lot of opium and could not sell it northward.

Now there are big merchants who can open up this channel, and of course attract a large number of opium merchants.Once it can be sold to Hubei, Jiangxi, and even further to Jiangnan, the profit will be astonishing.

Shi Tiyuan watched all kinds of news quietly.

This is the first time Shi Tiyuan has accepted such an important person.Shi Tiyuan was very excited, but also very nervous.Although Shi Tiyuan didn't know what Yang Wei was going to do or what Duan Xun was going to do, he knew that this action was very important.

So be very cautious.

"How many people came?"

"Basically, the opium merchants who were active in Sichuan, Yunnan and around Sichuan and Guizhou in the past have come, large and small."

"kindness."

Shi Tiyuan nodded, and suddenly said: "Is there anyone coming from behind?"

"Yes. But it shouldn't be much."

"it is good."

Shi Tiyuan thought for a while, and said: "Don't wait. Send a message to all of them, just say that I want to discuss business with you face to face at the Songjiang River in Huaiyuan. If you want to discuss business, bring your own samples and figure out the price. come over."

"Yes."
