Chapter 228: The Commander is very powerful in handjob

When Yang Shuai arrived in Xingyi, as soon as the news of the Yunnan people attacking the joint defense army came, Yang Yongtai's first reaction was that someone was operating behind it.

"Commander, it's not that simple." Yang Yongtai said.

Yang Shuai: "Of course I know that the road is not simple, at any time, under any circumstances, I would rather face ten times the enemy army than against the people, otherwise, I will definitely be defeated." The task now is to quickly investigate the ins and outs of this matter for me, and then we will discuss countermeasures. For now, the whole army, standing still, trimming, running-in, Li Zongren, by the way, give you the opportunity to reorganize those 10,000 recruits. ”

It's like it happened in an old story, and it started a long, long time ago. China, with tea, porcelain and other Chinese characteristic goods, accounted for the majority of the world's total commerce, and recovered countless gold and silver treasures from Western countries.

In order to reverse this commercial trade, the Westerners had no way to defeat China on the right path, so they began an evil plan, that is, opium invasion.

At that time, the Indochina Peninsula, that is, Vietnam, Burma and other places, were colonies of Western countries. In order to import opium to China, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places bordering the colonies became the borders that foreigners often walked.

It was also at that time that Yunnan began to have a marijuana and cigarette-based industry, and it became larger and larger. Because of the high incomes, both growers and tax collectors have gradually abandoned the cultivation of food and carried out large-scale cultivation of hemp and tobacco leaves.

Today, all taxes in Yunnan are not even as high as marijuana and tobacco, and he has become the backbone of Yunnan's economy. As early as the time of the National Defense Movement, some people Cai Ye launched the National Defense because of Yuan Shikai's smoking ban. Although this conclusion is absurd, it is not necessarily unfounded.

The army in Yunnan basically relies on this marijuana and tobacco for its income. The people's income also depends on planting.

When Tang Jirao faced Yang Shuai's aggressive military might, and at the same time, the Sichuan and Yunnan troops were facing calamity. Tang Jirao thought of a poisonous plan, that is, to spread the rumor that Yang Shuai would completely ban smoking in the country.

You think, tens of millions of people live on this, if you ban smoking, how can these people live, and they can't turn against you. As a result, there was an attack on the joint defense forces by the people of Yunnan.

Yang Shuai looked at the information, sat down with a solemn face, closed his eyes, and slowly rubbed his hands on the side of his ears, with a headache.

Drugs, that is resolutely cannot exist, for this, Yang Shuai did not waver in the slightest. It's okay to roll cigarettes, but at this time, Yang Shuai is facing the livelihood problem of tens of millions of people. It's not good, this time, Yang Shuai may really be planted on this issue.

After a long time, Yang Shuai straightened his body and opened his eyes: "What do you think?" ”

Li Zongren: "Commander, this marijuana tobacco leaf, but it is a high income, we just need-"

Yang Shuai raised his head: "I'll still say that I'll take my bottom line, one, drugs are absolutely not allowed to exist, cigarettes are okay." Second, the livelihood of the people must be solved. I will agree to the plan only if these two conditions are met, otherwise, the joint defense forces would rather not enter Yunnan. It's not how strong these militias that attack us are, it's a big problem of tens of millions of people. ”

Bai Zhuge said: "Commander, I think the main problem here is propaganda. The reason why the militia attacked us in a hurry was that Tang Jirao's demagogy was reused, which showed that his propaganda was effective. And, Commander, I don't think it's time to make a definitive statement about the prohibition of marijuana. We should wait until our military strength is under control of Kunming, and then we should start with the handling of government affairs. ”

Bai Zhuge said: "Moreover, we have a great advantage, that is, our European material support plan. Commander, my opinion is that for the time being, we will not respond to the anti-drug question, but instead Yang Tai will jointly say that after a year, we will buy all daily necessities and raw materials at a high price. In this way, even if people cannot grow marijuana, they will not lose their economic resources. Such a gap will be much smaller, and it will be easier for people to accept. ”

Yang Yongtai also nodded, and after glancing at Yang Shuai, he said: "I agree with Bai Zhuge 's words, and, Commander, I think that the Commander just said that he would rather not enter Yunnan, I don't agree." On the contrary, now everyone thinks that our target will be Guizhou first, so we will first attack Kunming with lightning speed, start with military deterrence, deter the wavering people, and then announce the European plan in one fell swoop, so that the vast number of locals can join in the distribution of this benefit, so as to achieve the effect of stabilizing the place very quickly. ”

After listening to this, Yang Shuai thought for a while and said: "What the two of you said should be one word, that is, interests, as long as the interests are evenly distributed, there is no problem of resistance." Well, to be honest, even if there is a European plan to deal with it at that time, growing food and buying and selling it will not be as good as marijuana after all, so people's interests will still decline in the short term. Ordinary families are fine, but they are afraid that the big families will make trouble, and it will take some time to govern Yunnan in the future. ”

So, as soon as they said and did, Dai Li's agents, as well as Bai Zhuge and others, all used their strength and began to enter Yunnan, intentionally or unintentionally introducing Yang Shuai's possible policies.

At the same time, Yang Shuai also accepted Yang Yongtai's suggestion, that is, to attack Kunming in advance.

In Yang Shuai's plan, at least after the rout of the Yunnan army in Sichuan, when the morale of the Yunnan army is low, it is the time to fight hard with the Yunnan army. Now fighting, the number of people is not superior, the geography is not superior, the mass base is not superior, nothing is superior, after thinking for a long time, Yang Shuai has no choice but to come to a conclusion, this battle, the victory or defeat is five or five points.

"The herald, the Food and Salary Bureau and the logistics department, as well as the arsenal, must ensure the logistics of the joint defense forces, and the weapons must be sufficient, and the ammunition must not be short. Our only advantage now is probably the firepower, and if we don't even have this, then it's a fart. ”

Yang Shuai finally felt at this time how correct it was for him to spend a lot of money to build an arsenal and related industrial facilities first. Coupled with Li Siguang's brilliance at this time, even if the arsenal in Nanning could not get the commercial resources of Hubei, the arsenal would never stop production.

Yang Shuai said that although Guangxi is not a place rich in minerals, it is still possible to be self-sufficient in the short term.

"Tens of millions of people in Guangxi, when have you ever seen them starving? It is impossible for Commander Yang to cut off our livelihood and sit back and watch us starve. ”

"Zhilu Dao Commander Yang in his personal name, with the European powers, yes, yes, that is, those white-haired people and black-haired people, they signed an agreement No, every year, they have to buy thousands of tons of grain from us, anything, even clothes."

"Think about it, if you work hard to cultivate the fields for a year, you can sell dozens of yuan of things, and then you have to work in that factory or something when the farm is slack, and you have to have a salary, wouldn't it be better."

"Can't it, Yang Shuai is from Guangxi, can he manage the life and death of Yunnan?"

"You haven't seen this, have you heard, on the side of Commander Yang, there is no Guangxi Yunnan, there is only one statement, that is, Chinese." Don't you believe it? I've seen Yunnan people still serving as officials in Guangxi, county magistrate, you say, can Commander Yang be the kind of xenophobic person? ”

Soon, the cities and counties of Yunnan began to be slowly guided. In addition, the revolutionary atmosphere in Yunnan itself is very strong, and the people are not the kind of closed and ignorant that the outside world says; on the contrary, Yunnan's open-mindedness and advanced thinking are also very outstanding.

Tang Jirao never expected that Yang Shuai would see the move, and because the facts were greater than the eloquent reasons, many people also began to think, yes, such a poor place in Guangxi can develop within two or three years, and it is impossible for Commander Yang to ignore the people of Yunnan.

And when Tang Jirao was thinking about how to block Yang Shuai again, Yang Shuai made a move, and Yang Shuai attacked the Nanpan River, which had the momentum of dividing Yunnan into two.

Tang Jirao immediately ignored the past gap, and hurriedly let Gu Pinzhen go south, so that he could unite the Mengzi and Funing armies in the south, while Tang Jirao ordered an army of 20,000 main troops to go south, trying to attack the north and south, and defeat Yang Shuai's main force in the Nanpan River, and resolutely not let Yang Shuai step into the range of Kunming.

Tang Jirao had a staff officer: "General, French, British, we can ask them for help, as long as they come from Burma, Vietnam and other places, they can easily come over." I don't believe that with foreigners helping us, Yang Shuai can still win. ”

Tang Jirao glanced at him: "You are stupid, now that France's own country has surrendered and perished, Britain has also been beaten to the ground, they still have this idle meddle, you think it was five years ago." Now, they don't like it anymore. ”

The staff officer did not give up, and said: "General, that's good, just right, you see, hasn't Vietnam always come to us and say that they want to secretly help them make a revolution, this time it's just right, tell them that we will give them guns and weapons, and the premise is to come and help us fight a war." ”

Tang Jirao was speechless, can these staff officers under him be more reliable, Vietnam is a big place, and now he can't control himself, even if he can help, how many people can he help, mine. Then Tang Jirao: "Don't say it, you really woke me up, hum, reinforcements, okay, I'm going to let Yang Shuai's backyard catch fire, and the foundation is not guaranteed." ”

Tang Jirao and Liu Xianshi obviously thought of going together.

Nanpan River, marching camp, Yang Shuai was drawing a picture album, and the two staff officers were smiling and chatting.

"You said that the commander was in charge this time, I think the deputy commander played very well."

"Hehe, isn't this just right, just learn the German art of war from the commander. See, have you ever seen the general commander who can draw maps so professionally? This is the level, and people who don't know the way still think that our commander is a counselor. ”

"No, I've seen the commander shoot a gun, that's called a quasi. Commander, this is both civil and military. ”

"Shooting? What kind of gun, whether it is a long gun or a pistol, the commander has a Mauser pinned all day long, and I think the commander must be very good at handjob. ”

At this time, Yang Shuai appeared with a smile: "What are you talking about?" ”

The two staff officers were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up: "Report to the commander, we are talking about your handjob." ”

Yang Shuai originally came to drink saliva, and suddenly: "Poof-cough-cough-cough." Then he looked at the two confused staff officers in horror.

"Handjob?"
