"Zhang Zuolin has made a lot of trouble in Fengtian, I thought he was such a powerful character, but now he is also a fool at first glance, and he actually sent a little baby to check the drugs, and he can find out a fart!"

In a hidden manor, Guo Xiaoshan was getting together with many businessmen and talking, among which there was a middle-aged man in his thirties, sitting in the middle position, obviously with the highest status, and was talking.

"I heard that there are more and more rich people in Fengtian during this time, and there are more and more people buying tobacco soil, according to me, we will expand the scale in the future, the more we sell, the more we will earn, with money, we can't get anything!"

"Commander Jiang is so right, Fengtian is full of silver, how can there be no share of yours? But if you want me to say that you should be a little more careful, after all, Zhang Zuolin is not easy to deal with, this time he sent a useless boy, and next time he may send someone who has the ability to come over, if he is caught, I am worried about making trouble for Commander Jiang. Guo Xiaoshan said with some concern.

"What's the trouble, as long as my uncle is still there, everyone has to buy face, there are so many troops in Rehe, they can't starve to death, even if the lawsuit is brought to Emperor Yuan, I'm not afraid, you just let me do it, don't be afraid."

Everyone present also heard Commander Jiang's assurance, and they all showed joy, the sky fell, and there were big ones, since no one was afraid, what else did they have to fear about these small fish and shrimp, and honestly follow behind to make a fortune.

While they were talking and feasting, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, and a few of their men hurriedly ran over.

"Commander, county magistrate, it's not good, the Fengjun brigade has surrounded this place, and the brothers can't stop it at all!"

Suddenly, Guo Xiaoshan's face changed wildly. shouted loudly: "Isn't Fengjun going back to Fengtian, why are you still coming to trouble us?" ”

Bang Bang ......

There were several hurried gunshots outside, and all the people in the house panicked, when a burst of neat footsteps was heard, and the soldiers of the brigade rushed in.

This is naturally Zhang Tinglan led the soldiers to kill him, Cheng Tianci had already reported to Zhang Tinglan where Guo Xiaoshan and them were gathering, and Zhang Tinglan commanded his subordinates to surround the manor with lightning speed.

There was a guard who couldn't see the situation clearly and wanted to stop Zhang Tinglan, but the end can be imagined. All were killed on the spot, Zhang Tinglan has never been soft on these guys who are fighting for the tiger, and after killing a few guards, the soldiers trotted into the courtyard.

The soldiers ran without a mess. It's like a person, and every foot seems to be stepping on a person's heart. That Jiang Commander also saw this scene. I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.

He has also been in the army for a long time, knows the quality of the army, and can do it so neatly, it is definitely a rare elite soldier. At this time, his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Guo Xiaoshan, this idiot told himself that the other party was a new recruit, and he was not afraid. Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open, and I can't wait to strangle this eyeless thing directly.

In fact, this is indeed wronging Guo Xiaoshan, these are indeed recruits, but they have all undergone very strict training. Zhang Tinglan referred to the training standards of later generations, and consulted Yang Yuting, and the training standards jointly formulated were countless times stricter than those of other armies.

The independent brigade was strictly trained, well fed, and taught to read and write, which was counted as the three major characteristics, and under strict rewards and punishments, they made rapid progress, and a few months ago they could not even distinguish between left and right, but after the most difficult initial stage, they seemed to have opened their minds, and everyone knew that hard work, whether it was study or training, was first-class.

And Zhang Tinglan had already told them that there would be a drill soon, and if they could defeat the veterans of the 27th Division, even if they were officially formed into the army, their welfare benefits would be greatly improved, and they would be able to enjoy the allowance of the military welfare company.

This is a great attraction for all soldiers, and the current general level of military pay is between six or seven oceans. However, it has to face layers of deductions, and the actual gain is limited. Moreover, the food should also be deducted from the inside, and many officers make up their minds on the food, and try to be as greedy as possible.

Therefore, the longest food for the soldiers was stick noodles, boiled vegetables, with a little coarse salt mixed with half of the sand and clods, and at most a little oil dipped in the pot. During the Anti-Japanese War, it was said that the Japanese were good at fighting bayonets, and a very important reason was that they had better food and adequate nutrition for the soldiers.

Even the Japanese military dogs were better fed than the Chinese soldiers, and under such conditions, the Chinese army not only did not have enough energy to fight, but could not even escape. Officers at all levels do not regard soldiers as human beings at all, how much combat effectiveness can such a unit have, as a military commander, must bear the responsibility for the crime, tragedy cannot cover up incompetence, on the contrary, the more tragic and heroic the soldiers and generals, the more we must investigate the cause of this situation, a general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops, and the incompetence of the head of state will bring disaster to the whole country!

At the very beginning of the establishment of the independent brigade, Zhang Tinglan formulated a strict system to prevent officers from exploiting soldiers, and food was not counted in the military salary, but was the responsibility of a separate logistics department, and the soldiers' military salary was directly paid to the bank account, which immediately blocked the opportunity for officers at all levels to get their hands on it, and their main task was to train and fight, and nothing else could be intervened at all.

Therefore, the salaries of the soldiers of the independent brigade are real, and there is no head at all, if they pass the test of drills and eventually become a formal army, they can get the basic military salary of five oceans every month, and they can also get bonuses for good training performance, plus welfare allowances, there is no problem at all in getting six or seven oceans.

Moreover, all their supplies are distributed uniformly, and almost all of this money can be remitted to their homes, and five or six oceans can already make a farmer live a comfortable life, so these soldiers cherish this opportunity very much, and if they want to live a rich and decent life, they must work hard.

The self-motivation that radiates from the bottom of my heart is more useful than anything else, and the recruits have made amazing progress, and in every move, they have already shown the quality of a strong soldier. These people who were surrounded felt a burst of panic, and some of the guards wanted to resist, but they were all beaten to the ground and tied up into rice dumplings.

Zhang Tinglan walked in with a smile on her face, as if she was looking at prey, Guo Xiaoshan originally only thought that Zhang Tinglan was an ordinary second ancestor. This time he brought the troops over, but it was just an opportunity for Lao Zhang to give him a gold sticker, where did he know that he was blind, and the other party was a master of hiding and pretending to be a pig and a tiger.

"Captain Zhang, we are all our own people, if there is anything to say, we are willing to accept punishment."

"County Magistrate Guo, if I had just arrived in Tongliao, you would have said this to me. There may still be a chance, but it's too late to say more. ”

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Tinglan asked his soldiers to tie up Guo Xiaoshan, and then ordered all the Guo family to be raided. Don't think that the county magistrate is a petty official, the common people call them the lord of the sky. It has been able to cover a county. Shun life and death, with great authority, so it is also called Baili Hou.

In Guo Xiaoshan's home, more than 200 loads of opium, more than 200,000 oceans, and countless gold bars and small treasures were found, all of which were the people's fat and ointment. ill-gotten gains, just for these things, shot Guo Xiaoshan cheaply for him.

After dealing with Guo Xiaoshan, Zhang Tinglan set his eyes on that Jiang Commander again. He sneered and said, "Your name is Jiang Xi, right?" The nephew of Jiang Guidi, the governor of Rehe, and the commander of the Rehe patrol battalion, I didn't expect that such a big figure as you would run to Fengtian, which is really unexpected. ”

"Now that you know my identity, don't you let me go quickly!"

"That's a dream." Zhang Tinglan sneered and said: "Jiang Xi, how much opium have you sold, and how many people have died because of your family, and all the bad things have been done, your retribution has come." ”

Jiang Xi never thought that after reporting his identity, the other party didn't care, you must know that Jiang Guidi is a famous figure with profound qualifications, even Lao Yuan is polite to Jiang Guidi, and he doesn't dare to slack off.

Zhang Zuolin is a very junior in front of Jiang Gui, how can he give the old man a little face, but the other party is not only afraid, but on the contrary, there is a trace of excitement, it seems that he is waiting for himself to be caught, Jiang Xi can't help but feel chills in his heart.

Of course Zhang Tinglan was very happy to be able to catch this guy, in fact, he had long known that Rehe Opium had the support of Jiang Guidi behind it, but there was not enough evidence, and now that Jiang Guidi's nephew was caught, Jiang Guidi couldn't escape.

Speaking of Jiang Guidi, he was also a hero in the first half of his life, in the battle to exterminate the Twist Army, he rose rapidly with his military merits, and made great contributions in the suppression of the chaos. In the First Sino-Japanese War, Jiang Guidi also led his subordinates to fight to the death against the Japanese, and he was a loyal and brave tiger general.

But this is all the old Huang calendar, he is over seventy years old now, old and faint, he can't lead the troops to fight at all, and he can't restrain his subordinates, Rehe opium is rampant, poisoning the world, this old man has to bear the main responsibility.

Zhang Tinglan had long thought that he would use the opium problem to hit Jiang Guidi's prestige and take the opportunity to penetrate Fengtian's shili deep into Rehe. This plan was also due to the strategic location of Rehe, which is located between Mongolia and the northeast, which is the backyard of Mukden.

If you can go down to Rehe, Mukden will be equivalent to putting armor on your back, and you can deal with Japan in the east and Tsarist Russia on the back, and Rehe is the rear of Mukden. Moreover, Rehe is also close to Beijing and Tianjin, and if you occupy this place, you will be able to form an encirclement of Beijing, no matter from which angle you measure, Zhang Tinglan cannot let go of this.

Therefore, after catching Jiang Xi, Zhang Tinglan already had a set of action plans in his heart, and the spearhead was the veteran Jiang Gui. At this time, Beijing was going all out to deal with Cai Yi's Protector Army, and there was no time to care about other things, and Zhang Tinglan was just able to fish in troubled waters.

With this kind of plan, where would Zhang Tinglan let Jiang Xi go, and directly asked his subordinates to detain him, and none of the other drug dealers ran away, and they were all caught. Zhang Tinglan smashed several warehouses where opium was stored one after another, and after some tossing, he found a total of nearly 2,000 boxes of opium, ninety percent of which flowed in from the direction of Rehe, and some were local tobacco.

In addition, more than 200 people were arrested, and the whole of Tongliao was shocked, and over the years, there had never been such a large-scale control of opium, which naturally attracted the attention of many news newspapers, of course, many of them were hired by Zhang Tinglan.

After the reporters arrived in Tongliao, Zhang Tinglan led them to see the seized opium, and at the same time let them see the opium dealers who had been arrested, the most surprising of which was that Jiang Guidi's nephew was also arrested.

These newspapers soon broke the news, Jiang Gui disregarded the lives of the common people, smuggled opium on a large scale, and many newspapers wrote in a serious way that Jiang Gui had someone who smoked opium, and that he sold opium, but it was just to fulfill these people.

Soon public opinion was in an uproar, and as the commander of a province, the smuggling of opium was already very inferior, and he was not ashamed, but proud, and it was simply impossible to kill. For a while, the newspapers were all scolding Jiang Guidi, and the good deeds turned out Jiang Guidi's past scandals and shouted loudly.

Jiang Guidi, who was in Chengde, had no idea that a storm was coming towards him, and by the time the old man realized it like a dream, he had already become the target of everyone! (To be continued......)
