The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"This……"

The commander-in-chief's direct question made Li Guiqi's face turn pale.

"What? Could it be that they haven't found out yet? Or have they dug up some important figure by digging in their ancestors' graves?"

He asked slowly, but in the second half of the sentence, Jiang Cheng suddenly raised his voice, slammed the table and glared, "Didn't Ting Shu tell me before he left?"

"When will you be able to answer my questions with such hesitation? No matter who you are, tell me everything. I want to see who is behind these people and whether they can scare me to death."

Li Guiqi's face turned pale, and Li Shitou, who was standing behind him, could no longer hold back and glared at him impatiently: "Master Jiang is asking you a question! Tell me now."

Obviously, I have to answer this question.

One of the temporary leaders of the Snow Fox quickly and carefully approached Jiang Cheng and said a name.

What the hell?
This is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple——

It’s actually related to Feng Delin!

Jiang Cheng raised his head quickly, opened his eyes wide to confirm his expression, and then swept his gaze to the cigarette sellers in front of him.

"I think whether he is executed or not... this matter will definitely become a big deal."

Sun Zhengnan, who had not expressed his opinion, gritted his teeth and said, "Master, since it has something to do with Master Feng San, should we..."

I have heard that after Mr. Feng Sanye suffered a serious setback, he never cared about any military or political affairs again, but was obsessed with doing various businesses.

It is said that this old guy is very good at business and has accumulated a lot of wealth...

But Jiang Cheng really didn't know what business he was doing in the Northeast.

But if you think about it carefully, what is the most profitable business these days?
In such a chaotic time, if he hadn't done something "utterly unscrupulous", how could Feng Laosan have accumulated such a huge amount of wealth in such a short period of time?

Did Feng Yong get involved?

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng's eyebrows suddenly tightened. Damn it, I made his son a brigade commander and gave him such a lucrative territory, Dapingzhuang...

If this is used to do opium business, wouldn't it be great if Dapingzhuang has the unique geographical advantage?

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng's face darkened: "Since Jilin is determined to ban drugs, there is no room for negotiation!"

"All of these people will be taken to Chaishikou and shot - and,"

Facing his chief of staff, the young commander-in-chief said firmly, "Issue a notice and say that it is my intention, Jiang Cheng. The policy of banning smoking will be implemented all the time!"

"No matter who he is, or who's behind him, don't try to stop me from completely banning smoking!"

…………

By mid-November, Jilin had already entered the depths of winter.

The day was getting late, and after two heavy snowfalls, the temperature dropped to the point where it was freezing.

But contrary to the norm, the streets were crowded with people just after daybreak.

"I heard that Mr. Jiang wanted to execute those who were just arrested for selling cigarettes." "That's not a big deal. They were said to be rich and powerful, but they were arrested and executed anyway, weren't they?"

"Looking at this situation, the higher-ups are really serious about this."

"What are you playing at? Is it true or not? I'm holding you back and you don't know anything. Let me tell you, my cousin is in the Guard Brigade. He said these people were captured near Jinzhou and teamed up with someone to almost screw over Master Jiang - he pissed off the boss!"

"Oh, so the reason whether opium is banned or not is because of the opium dealers who have offended the higher-ups, not because the governor really wants to ban it?"

"Well, you are really honest. Opium is such a profitable business, who would be willing to give it up? Isn't it because of his own desire? Have you forgotten that Governor Meng previously clamored to ban opium? His nephew is not so great, he still makes money from it?"

"Haha, among these officials, which one really takes the lives of ordinary people seriously? They are all evil!"

"You're not quite right, are you? I heard that when the epidemic broke out in Kuanchengzi, it was him..."

The men and women in the crowd were discussing their thoughts on Jiang Cheng's "anti-smoking movement," but in the distance they could hear the sound of gongs and the loud roars of heralds.

"Hey...listen, listen, it's coming!"

They were originally standing on tiptoe, looking around with curiosity, but when they heard "the soldiers are coming", they immediately became more excited.

As the gong sound got closer, people finally heard what the herald was shouting:
It was the same thing again. The governor Jiang Feilan ordered that smoking be banned in Jilin Province. No one was allowed to participate in the cultivation, production, sale, or any other activities related to opium.

Otherwise, they will be given a severe sentence, up to and including execution...

In this huge parade, the most eye-catching thing is the tall prison vans;
The cigarette dealers, who were beaten to a bloody state and almost unrecognizable, were dying, and could only shiver in the cold wind of the early morning.

After announcing the repeated orders from the superiors, the messenger immediately continued to convey the "crimes" of these prisoners:
Not only did they transport huge amounts of opium to Jilin, they also killed people and robbed people, colluding with officials and businessmen. They were indeed heinous drug lords and criminals. Now that they were found guilty, the warlord Jiang Cheng ordered them to be shot at Chaishikou to serve as a warning to others.

At the same time, the Governor reiterated the principle of no smoking and established a new reward system for reporting:
Report users and you will get 50 yuan each time;
Report the planters and producers, and if confirmed, a one-time reward of 500 yuan will be given;
Those who report traffickers will receive 20% of the confiscated proceeds as a reward.

Upon hearing that there was such a generous bonus, everyone present became excited and looked around with surprise on their faces.

Regardless of whether the authorities really want to ban smoking completely, this reward can really be obtained.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were filled with bright golden light.

Just as Jilin Prefecture was shooting tobacco dealers in such a high-profile manner and launching an anti-smoking campaign again, Feng Delin, who was in Zhengjiatun, received a call from his son Feng Yong.

"Dad, have you heard about what happened in Jilin Prefecture?"

As soon as the call was connected, Feng Yong didn't even bother to say hello and directly asked the important questions.

"What did you hear? There's so much news coming out of Jilin Prefecture! Your good brother is a well-known figure in Northeast China... There have been so many big and small things in the past two years!"

Hearing that his father was somewhat "playing dumb", Feng Yong's tone became more impatient: "Dad, please stop playing dumb with your son!"

"Yucheng told me... Feilan was attacked in Jinzhou. Although the Japanese were behind it, the direct attacker seemed to have some connection with Wanshou Manor!"

When Feng Delin heard his son mention "Wanshou Manor", he was immediately furious: "Damn it, you still have the nerve to mention Wanshou Manor to me?"

"Everyone knows that your old classmate saw that your father made a lot of money, so he held a grudge against me and launched the smoking ban."

"Damn it, a good village was turned into a mess by me in just two cups of tea - where can I go to seek justice now?" (End of this chapter)
