When the staff heard Xiao Zhenlei say this, they knew that the road of Zhao'an would not work, so they could only think of other ways, the easiest way was to send troops to encircle and suppress, but there were bandits all over the country, and there were not a few of them, and this would definitely require large-scale troops to be cleared and suppressed, and the bandits were too scattered, which caused great difficulty in the clean-up work.

Another point, the bandits are not so simple, some bandits are just bandits, they were forced by the Qing court and the Beiyang government to go up the mountain to be bandits, but some of the bandits themselves are arranged by local officials, and there is also a kind of collusion between officials and bandits, which belongs to the collusion of officials and bandits to harm the people, if it is the latter two cases, it is difficult for officers and soldiers to clear out the bandits, because before the officers and soldiers act, there are officials who report to the bandits, and the bandits have long been prepared or run away, and the officers and soldiers go to vain. These two situations are the most difficult to solve.

At this time, Zhang Yilu stood up and bowed his hand to Xiao Zhenlei and said: "President, what are the few superficial views left, I don't know if to say it or not?" ”

Zhang Yilu, Yang Du, and Yang Shiqi were all Yuan Shikai's staff members in the past, and they were all relatively important staff, Zhang Yilu was extremely talented, and his personal relationship with Yuan Shikai was good. Speaking of staff, people will have the image of Shaoxing's master in their minds, scribbling on the desk and writing official documents, and the most closely connected with the staff is probably "cautious", "only promised", "tending to the flame" and other words. Not really. An excellent staff member needs to have superb wisdom, far-reaching + insight, be cautious and humble without grovelling, be proud and not reckless, not only have a good grasp of the relationship with the boss, but especially have good moral character. For example, Zhang Yilu. is an example.

After the failure of the Wuxu Reform, Yuan Shikai serialized the "Wuxu Diary" in Shanghai newspapers. It came from Zhang Yilu's handwriting. Although Zhang Yilu has a good personal relationship with Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai has the grace of knowing Zhang Yili. But in the face of the great right and wrong, Zhang Yilu was quite stylish, in history Yuan Shikai wanted to be the emperor, Zhang Yilu was resolutely opposed, and later he couldn't persuade him to resign from the official position of the Beiyang government.

Since Zhang Yilu joined Xiao Zhenlei's staff team, he rarely speaks in meetings, but as long as he speaks, he must have a good strategy. Hearing this, Xiao Zhenlei hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Mr. Gongfu (Zhang Yilu's number), please speak!" ”

Zhang Yilu cleared his throat and said, "Yu thought that it could be carried out at the same time in many aspects, first, to isolate the bandits. The propaganda department should publicize to the people the evil deeds that the bandits have done in the past, and state the harm caused by the bandits to society and the people, so that the bandits can basically be isolated. Bandits will not last long without the support of the people, and their every move will be clearly known to the local government.

Second, the local government will issue a reward to the people in various places, and the villagers can get a reward if they report to the government if they have news of banditry. Some bandits who tried to blend in with the people were also quickly discovered, and some of the people acted as the eyes and ears of the government, and the bandits were quickly discovered even if they hid.

Third, an ultimatum was issued to the bandits everywhere to surrender and accept reform. If the country does not come down within the time limit, the government will send troops to encircle and suppress it, since the national defense force is part of the country's external armed forces. It is not suitable for domestic combat, I think it is possible to use armed police forces everywhere. It's just that the bandits generally gather in the mountains and forests, and the terrain in the mountains and forests is dangerous. Generally easy to defend and difficult to attack, if there is no strong fire support, if you want to attack the mountain, you will inevitably pay a heavy price, and the problem of weak firepower of the armed police force is not easy to solve! ”

Xiao Zhenlei thought about Zhang Yilu's construction points for a while and felt that they were very good, these three points were all very good, and they all spoke to Xiao Zhenlei's heart, especially the last point, using the armed police force to suppress bandits instead of the National Defense Force. Nominally, the armed police force is only a police force and not an army, and using armed police to suppress bandits will not allow foreign forces to interfere with the street, Xiao Zhenlei looked at the other staff members and asked: "What do you think of Mr. Gongfu's suggestions?" ”

Cai Ye felt good, and first stood up and agreed: "I think these points are good and worth adopting!" ”

"I feel the same way!" Yang Shiqi also agreed, and then everyone else also felt that they could give it a try.

Xiao Zhenlei said that all the staff members were more optimistic about these methods, so he made a final decision: "Okay, since this is the case, then it is decided, and this plan will be handed over to the relevant departments of the cabinet to implement, considering the problem of the possible lack of firepower of the armed police force, a certain number of grenadier teams and mortar squads can be deployed from the local garrison to assist them, and they will be rebuilt after the operation of suppressing the bandits is completed!" Let's talk about the next question, the problem of big cigarettes, this problem is very strict, more strict than banditry, although the government has already ordered a complete ban on smoking, it can be said that there are still people who dare to take the risk of killing their heads to engage in the smuggling of big cigarettes! ”

Xiao Zhenlei said that he paused here, picked up the teacup and drank a few sips, the staff and other staff present were not from any background, he put down the cup and continued: "I used to hear foreigners call us 'East Asian sick man' when I was carrying bags at Shanghai Tan Wharf, look at our people, all of them are yellow and thin, weak, wooden, lifeless, and lifeless, no wonder foreigners call us 'East Asian sick man'!" ”

"How did you get the title of 'Sick Man of East Asia'?" Xiao Zhenlei knocked on the table, "Caused by big smoke, without big smoke, how could our countrymen have such a shameful title?" I don't say that you all understand it, in fact, everyone understands, but the high profits brought by the big smoke blinded the eyes of some people, and they seek personal interests for themselves at the cost of poisoning the health of the Chinese people, so this big tobacco must be banned, and it must be banned, and the anti-narcotics department should be set up in the police department, and the provincial police departments and police departments should also set up anti-narcotics departments, and all cases related to the big tobacco must be responsible for the anti-narcotics department or have people from the anti-narcotics department participate! In order to make a special legislation in the Legislative Yuan, it is necessary to impose heavy sentences on those who sell large cigarettes, and to determine how much weight they sell in excess of the weight of heavy cigarettes, they must be sentenced to death, and the danger of such people is even greater than that of murderers, and murderers generally only kill one person. But it is countless individuals and countless families who are poisoned by selling big cigarettes, if such people are not sentenced to death. So what prisoner is sentenced to death? ”

"Also, for people who smoke big cigarettes. This kind of person must also be severely punished in the law, and the government should be responsible for the people and his family, and after catching a person who smokes a lot of cigarettes, he must be compulsorily detoxified from drug addiction, even if he can't quit, even if he dies in a drug rehabilitation center, it is better than letting him out of a dangerous family and a dangerous society! You can only release it after you are sure that you have completely relibed yourself of the addiction."

The big smoke is quite popular in China in this era, not to mention ordinary people, even high-ranking government officials and high-level military officials have bad people who have always been good, and these staff and staff here can be said to have a very deep understanding.

Of course, the smoke cannot be compared with the high-purity methamphetamine refined in later generations. It will not be addicted immediately after smoking, even if it is addicted, it is not very difficult to quit, as long as it is not too long, people with a little stronger willpower can quit, but not everyone is willing to quit, people who smoke it can forget a qiē trouble, feel that they live in a world that is incomparably every second, especially for those rich and upper-class people in this era, they are not short of money, and they take two puffs when they are upset. Big smoke is their spiritual comfort, which is also one of the reasons why the Qing court and the Beiyang government want to ban it but repeatedly ban it. The people below still haven't bothered to send her over? Since there is a demand for this thing at the top, and it itself has huge profits, how can it be banned? So in the late Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang era. No smoking has become an empty phrase.

Everyone agreed in their hearts after listening to Xiao Zhenlei's words, indeed. The danger of this smoke is too great, but these people also know it. It takes a lot of work to completely ban smoking, and it's definitely not something that can be done in a day or two!

Yang Shiqi got up at this time and arched his hand to Xiao Zhenlei and said, "President, everyone, I'm afraid it's not so easy to ban big smoke!" ”

"Oh, why?" Xiao Zhenlei frowned and asked suspiciously.

Yang Shiqi said: "President, as far as I know, there are still large areas of farmland in the southwest to grow tobacco, of course, these are covered by local officials, otherwise those farmers will not dare to blatantly plant tobacco, of course, there are mountain bandits planting tobacco in the mountains, but this is only a few, if you want to ban smoking, you must first burn all the big tobacco fields in our country, but in this way, it will violate the interests of some people, and the resistance to banning smoking is definitely not small!" ”

"Again, now there are many high-level smokers in our government, military officers, and senior generals, and if smoking is banned, where will they find their 'rations' in the future? These people are definitely against the ban on smoking, so that's a big resistance as well! ”

"There is another one, in addition to the source of China's big tobacco planted in various parts of the country, there is also a large part of the big tobacco shipped from India, from the big tobacco mainly landed in two cities, the first is Guangzhou, the second is Shanghai, after the establishment of the new government, due to the effective work of the government, the big tobacco basically can not go ashore from Guangzhou, all transferred to Shanghai ashore, is the local authorities in Shanghai smoking ban is not effective? No, but because someone is covered! ”

Xiao Zhenlei frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Who is covering?" Who is so daring? ”

Yang Shiqi spit out a few words: "The Green Gang and the Hong Gang!" ”

During this period, the Qing Gang and the Hongmen can be said to have been extremely powerful, just in Shanghai Tang, the number of the Qing Gang and the Hong Gang exceeded 100,000 people, not counting the Jianghuai and Jiangsu-Zhejiang areas, if you count all the East China area, the children of the Qinggang and the Hongmen are only afraid of hundreds of thousands of people. It can be said that the matter between the Qing Gang and the Hongmen is extremely difficult to solve, because the number of these two gangs is too large, especially the Hongmen has a very strict organization, and it is not a simple matter to do anything to these two gangs, and careful arrangements must be made in advance.

Shanghai Tang can be said to be one of the base camps of the revolutionary party, the main armed force of the Kuomintang in Shanghai was the Qing Gang and the Hong Gang's dead soldiers, after the recovery of Shanghai Tang, many of these Qinghong gang members have sought positions in the government department by virtue of their merits, and the number of the Qinghong Gang is large, and the main gathering place is in Jianghuai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, among which Shanghai has the most gangs, with the support of these people, they occupy the main power of shipping in Shanghai, plus the Qinghong Gang has people in the government department, Therefore, it is even more difficult to ban smoking in Shanghai!

Xiao Zhenlei knew that what Yang Shiqi said was more pertinent and in line with the actual situation, and now there are indeed people in the southwest who are growing big cigarettes, these are covered by people, and the people who are covered with big cigarettes are those officials who switched from the Beiyang era, and some are old officers who led their troops to surrender to Chengcheng, these people think they are doing secrets, others will not know, in fact, there are people in the central department who have been investigating for a long time, Xiao Zhenlei did not know about this matter in a day or two, but they knew it from the beginning, It's just that he's been busy with other more important things and can't be distracted, and now he has his hands free to solve these things anyway.

On the other hand, there are no longer a few high-ranking government officials and senior military generals and officers who smoke big cigarettes, and Yang Shiqi didn't say anything about this, just among these staff members and staff, there are some people who smoke big cigarettes, and there are also many other government departments, of course, none of these smokers are members of the Predator Party, almost all of them are officials of other political forces or military generals or officers who defected from the former Beiyang.

Xiao Zhenlei also knew this, but he didn't know that there were so many people in the military and the government who were still smoking cigarettes, and as for the specific figures, I am afraid that the Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau would need to submit a detailed survey and statistical report to find out.

And in the Qinghong Gang in Shanghai Tang to provide protection for the big tobacco dealers and collect benefit fees, Xiao Zhenlei is also clear, this kind of thing does not need to be asked, as long as the head is still in a normal person, the Qinghong Gang in Shanghai now has Zhang Renkui, Li Zhengwu, Huang Jingrong, Zhang Xiaolin and Du Yuesheng and others as the leading bosses, these people have the highest status, industry and financial resources, and the most leading brothers under them. It seems that if you want to ban smoking, you must solve the resistance in these aspects, the old officers and old bureaucrats are not a big problem to plant big tobacco as an umbrella, some old officers seem to have a little military power in their hands, but in fact, as long as Xiao Zhenlei gives an order in one sentence, these people will be thrown into the eighteenth layer of hell immediately, the problem of the Qinghong Gang is not very big, the gang is just a gang, and it has done anything in the government? The main force is the KMT officials behind some of the big cigarette dealers. (To be continued......) R1292
