Chapter 51: The Second Base

After bidding farewell to several teachers, Kogura entered the hospital to interrogate He Dabiao. When I entered the hospital, I saw a strong man tied to a pillar and a sackcloth stuffed in his mouth. When he saw Ogura and them come in, he stared at them and whined. Kogura stepped forward and took off the sackcloth from his mouth, "Who are you?" Hurry up and let me go! My brothers are back and want you all dead! He Dabiao said viciously.

"Smack" Ogura slapped his hand, "I'm still so arrogant when I'm captured!" Your inn and your brother have all been taken by me! Now that you're my captive, I can kill you at any time! Ogura said fiercely.

“…… You did the inn too? What do you want to do? He Dabiao was surprised.

"Do you think you're qualified to ask questions?" Ogura asked rhetorically, "Now let me ask you, who is your tobacco sold to?" In addition to He Yuanbin and you, what other tobacco bases do you have? ”

“…… He Yuanbin is also your handiwork? He Dabiao was surprised again, "I, He Dabiao, don't lose a loss!" ……”

Next, He Dabiao became honest and told everything he had done, from bamboo tubes to beans. It turned out that He Dabiao and He Yuanbin were distant cousins in the same village, and the two met a person named Lin Meizhi by chance. Lin Meizhi instigated the two to grow poppies, and then he came to recycle them. He Dabiao slowly found that it was more profitable to develop tobacco soil, so he had his own channels, and of course the cooperation with Lin Meizhi was never broken. And He Yuanbin used his position to sell big cigarettes in towns and villages farther away from the county seat, and at the same time He Dabiao escorted him. As for whether there are other bases in Qingfeng County, He Dabiao really doesn't know. I can only speculate that there should be none!

This information made Ogura smell of conspiracy! The conspiracy of the Japanese! Feeding war with war is exactly the current policy of the Japanese!

"Report, the fire barrier has been built!" The soldier came to report.

"Okay, set fire to the tobacco fields! Throw the tools for making cigarettes and the finished and semi-finished products into the tobacco field and burn them all! Ogura ordered.

"Yes!" The soldier was ordered to go out.

"Can't burn! These are the family funds that I have worked hard to save for several years! Burn everything and it's gone! He Dabiao pleaded.

Ogura turned to stare at him, approaching step by step, pulling out a pistol and holding it to his forehead.

"Your confession can only be exchanged for leaving you a whole corpse! It's time to pay for the sins you have committed! As he spoke, he pulled the trigger and left a brilliant red flower on his forehead!

The soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield were excited! In another yard the soldiers found the arsenal! Three Czech machine guns, three mortars plus six captured on the battlefield are nine! Nearly 100 rifles, 17 boxes of shells, and a number of bullets were made in Hanyang. With these loot Ogura breathed a sigh of relief, these were enough for the troops to squander for a while.

As for the money, it was hidden in another courtyard, and with the experience of searching for treasures a few times before, Ogura finally found something strange in the main house. The tea table under which the Lord sat was obviously empty! After some fumbling, turning the main seat and revealing an entrance to the underground!

The money below is much more than He Yuanbin's, and there are only five boxes of gold bars! Plus twelve boxes of silver dollars, it's worth two years of financial revenue for the county!

After the loot inventory is clear, Kogura does not plan to transport it away, Sunset Valley will be his second base! Blacksmith furnaces, glass furnaces, gunpowder configurations can all be done here. Then plant the valley with the corresponding Chinese medicinal materials, which can fully meet the various needs of the entire army! At the same time, Sunset Valley is close to the county seat, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is simple and fast to mobilize troops.
