The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Thus, a great disaster was caused.

Just as her friendship with the two Japanese girls deepened, her father's job search actually succeeded... He was appointed as the governor again and returned to the outside of the Great Wall.

Duan Xinyu was happy from the bottom of her heart, but as she went north with her father, she felt more and more that something was not right.

Just when they were attacked and rescued by Zhang Jinghui and raised in Jinzhou, the two Japanese female companions... somehow they found themselves at their doorstep.

On the one hand, he instigated the relationship between them as father and daughter, and on the other hand, he gave her grenades, daggers, some poisons, etc.

Judging from this situation, the reason why Zhigui was able to succeed in his career run was not just because of Feng Guozhang's evil scheme, but the Japanese also had a lot of involvement.

Because of the "Nishio Loan" incident, the entire Zhili warlord group was poisoned by Japan and became more or less pro-Japanese.

"I am really surprised. I didn't expect these Japanese to reach out so far... They even didn't let your father go."

But Jiang Cheng quickly figured out the problem. "Haha, I'm a little confused. Why would they rather look for a little girl like you than cooperate with your father?"

Duan Xinyu was stunned.

She raised her head absentmindedly and looked back at Jiang Cheng. The faint backlight behind her made her figure look very thin.

After a while, she sighed again: "I understand, Master Jiang...you still don't believe me."

"Well, it's not that father didn't fall for it, but - they thought father was too stupid, so they turned to support my cousin Duan Congbin."

It turned out to be the case.

If this is the explanation, why did Duan Congbin have the courage to come to Fengtian alone and get in touch with the Young Marshal? It was still the work of these Japanese devils.

Jiang Cheng rubbed his chin silently. He didn't expect Duan Xinyu to move and kneel down to him again.

However, this time, he grabbed her and said, "What are you doing? You have to kneel down at every turn. How can you be so rude?"

He felt a little regretful right after he stopped her, because after all, when their eyes met, he saw that the other party was already in tears: "Master Jiang, I still say the same thing. I know that no matter how I say it, it will be pale and powerless."

"But I was really fooled by the Japanese... Especially when I was in Jilin Prefecture, they told me a lot about you and Miss Cai. They said you were an ungrateful person and that you took benefits from the Cai family and then turned around and denied it."

"They also said that you like to tease and bully women the most. Whoever follows you will be unable to live or die."

"Can……"

Having said this, she suddenly couldn't continue.

"But what? After knowing me for a few days, you found that it's not the case?"

In fact, Jiang Cheng knew what she was going to say - when they were in Jilin Prefecture, he took her to see Cai Chanjuan's tomb. Of course, Hai Huixin also often sent people over to take care of her and her daughter, which should gradually change her impression.

"Okay, should I thank you too? I'm not going to tell you that the Japanese gave you a packet of poison. Didn't you poison me to death when you were cooking?"

Hearing this, Duan Xinyu, who was originally crying, was stunned again, and burst into laughter and said, "You are so annoying! You are not serious in a short while."

Seeing that her expression was no longer so bitter, Jiang Cheng turned serious and said, "I'm glad you're feeling better... But how did you know the Japanese were coming when you were attacked this time? What are they going to do next?"

Having said this, Duan Xinyu shivered again unconsciously.

It turned out that she had failed in her cooperation with the devils, and the Japanese had intended to get rid of her.

But in order to deceive the Japanese, she lied and said that she was willing to cooperate with them to set a trap for Jiang Cheng one last time. After the bombardment, she led his convoy into the encirclement.

"Japanese encirclement?" Jiang Cheng was stunned. "This - my people didn't report the movement of the Japanese nearby."

Duan Xinyu shuddered again: "No, it was the cigarette dealers arranged by Yuan Yizheng, they..."

But the girl hadn't finished her words. Suddenly, as if she had used up the last of her strength, she fell forward softly.

Surprised, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but hold her in his arms - he then realized that the woman's body was stiff and hot, and combined with her violent cough, she might have been ill for some time.

For some reason, as he watched her sink into coma, Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of his deceased wife.

Jiang Cheng sighed with mixed feelings, then picked her up and walked quickly towards the guards.

"Hurry up and get the medical kit! Call the medical staff for me!"

…………

The Guard Brigade is equipped with medical personnel, and they are staffed by the best military doctors.

Although Jiang Cheng only brought a few personal medical assistants to Jinzhou this time, they were all top-notch experts.

After examining her with the help of a little firelight, it was determined that she had a common fever caused by a cold or shock, and she was quickly given medicine to treat it.

Seeing that she was fine, Jiang Cheng called Han Ming and Xu Fushan aside and said, "Tinglan is not here, so we have to rely on you two."

"I asked just now. Although it was the Japs who set the trap for us, the actual execution was by the tobacco dealers."

The two looked at each other.

To put it more clearly, the so-called tobacco dealers are drug lords in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China era.

Because of the huge profits, they not only have considerable wealth, but also each of them has their own private armed forces... Some of them can even fight against the local regular army.

"If we ban smoking in Jilin, it will definitely affect the interests of these people."

Jiang Cheng looked at them coldly and continued
"This Minamoto no Yoshimasa has bribed Wanshou-so before. Judging from the current situation, he has probably bribed other tobacco dealers to take revenge on me."

"After all, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If we take their lives, it will inevitably lead to revenge."

"Listen, the two of you. Tomorrow morning, no matter who the large group coming to pick us up is, any well-known tobacco dealers in the surrounding area must not be spared!"

Han Ming immediately saluted: "Sir, if you give me three days, I will definitely send all the people to you."

Seeing him issue the military order, Jiang Cheng patted his shoulder with satisfaction and smiled.

After this incident, Jiang Cheng became more and more certain that he had done nothing wrong in banning smoking.

He went back, stuffed some meat around the campfire, and went back to the makeshift tent to sleep. He did not sleep until daybreak, when people from Jinzhou came.

The large force escorted Jiang Cheng and his party all the way back to Fengtian, while Han Ming and Li Shitou led the main force of the escort brigade that came from another route and searched all the counties and villages, big and small, near Jinzhou one by one.

Not to mention the cigarette dealers, even the wealthy businessmen with a little bit of wealth were questioned... The vigorous and resolute guard officers cared about so much and arrested anyone who was suspicious.

It was really an unexpected gain. On the second day of interrogating these people, a cigarette dealer was exposed.

It turned out that he was doing opium business in Feng Province, and had some kind of cooperative relationship with Wanshouzhuang.

Jiang Cheng's soldiers took over the place, and he, dissatisfied, took the equipment given by Minamoto Yoshimasa and planned to ambush Jiang Cheng. (End of this chapter)
