The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"No matter who they are in high positions or what their background is, I can't reach them if they go to Feng Province or Hei Province. But if they dare to bring opium to Jilin or organize people to smoke opium, I will arrest them all!"

When he said this, Zhang Xuecheng was obviously a little nervous: "I, I... Hey, weren't you talking about my brother today? Why are you talking about me again?"

He was trying to change the subject.

Jiang Cheng knew clearly that smoking ban had been implemented on a large scale and the effect was quite significant.

If we give up now because of some minor incidents, the recurrence caused may be more difficult to control.

Judging from his learned character, connections and underworld background, the "rich man" who treated people to opium smoking mentioned by Zhang Tinglan was most likely him.

"I'm going to make this clear once again. If Dayan is willing to hand it over, we'll deal with him based on the circumstances. But if the brothers of Snow Fox find out, they'll definitely punish him severely!"

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he turned the topic back to the topic, "Xuecheng, actually, I asked you to come back today because I have an intention."

"The situation in Shandong is complicated. With Pingchuan's face, I'm afraid it will be difficult to negotiate this matter... I have thought about it carefully. Go and invite your brother back from Jinan Prefecture."

What!
Zhang Xuecheng almost jumped up from where he was, his eyes widened: "Feilan, are you crazy? Everyone can see that this idea was proposed by Guo Guizi."

"Besides, if you ask me to go now, will my brother listen to me? Nine times out of ten, he will scold me to death."

You guys have been playing the good guys, and you asked me to be the bad guy. If I go to Jinan Prefecture, I will probably get rejected!

Knowing that he would definitely be reluctant, Jiang Cheng looked back at him and said, "That's why my brother and I have thought about it and decided that it would be best for you to come forward—"

"But you misunderstood. I didn't ask you to withdraw the entire escort brigade. I just asked you to bring him back."

Jiang Cheng told Zhang Xuecheng about the next plan, and he was so shocked that he slapped his thigh and said, "Damn it, you guys can come up with this idea, this, this... Hey! In fact, after all this, isn't it still making me the bad guy?"

"I tell you, I can trick you into sending him back to Fengtian, but you have to take responsibility for whatever happens next!"

…………

That night, Zhang Xuecheng handed over all official duties of the subordinate troops to his adjutant Pan Sheng, and then took the railway straight to Shanhaiguan.

While moving around, Jiang Cheng was confirming his situation while accepting the last batch of immigrants transferred from Shanhaiguan.

This last batch of immigrants was basically composed of young and middle-aged people... In fact, they had recuperated well after receiving supplies in Shanhaiguan, and after arriving in Jilin Prefecture, they quickly integrated into the life in the resettlement center.

"Feilan, the names of all the names of this group of people have been reported to the General Staff. With the lesson learned from the last time, I have asked the brothers to check carefully. Those who have suspicious circumstances have all been checked again."

Hai Rushong on the phone sounded very regretful, "Alas, you gave me such an important task, and I, I actually messed it up!"

Jiang Cheng understood his thoughts and comforted him, "Well, we all work with swords and knives every day, how can we not make mistakes? Besides, isn't it Wu who is looking for trouble?"

"Alright, alright... I have received the entire list, and I will arrange for all the personnel to be settled like the previous two batches." "By the way, Uncle Hai, you are close to the water, so if you see a suitable good guy, you can also go to Siping to recruit some."

Hearing Hai Rushong's voice from the other side, he smiled bitterly: "How can I be the first to pick it? Well... I was just thinking of replenishing some soldiers, after all, hey!"

In fact, Hai Rusong submitted his resignation to Jiang Cheng the day after the mutiny... But as a father-in-law, he has always been loyal to Jiang Cheng. In addition, the two horse farms he runs have provided a large number of good horses to the entire Jilin Army.
If Jiang Cheng treated him any further, it would be a bit inhumane.

But when it comes to mutiny, even if Hai Rushong is not punished, the people under him must be made aware of the severity of the situation.

He had followed the method of later generations and transferred Guo Xipeng's two regiments to replace the troops, and all the troops that were replaced were sent to the Songhua Lake Military Base.

Those who can pass the assessment and have strong ideas will continue to stay in the army;
Those who are unqualified will be dismissed on the spot...If anyone intends to cause trouble, they will be shot.

As a result, Hai Rushong was just holding a nominal title of commander. Apart from some guards and personal soldiers, he was basically a commander without any troops.

The two regiments that were replaced would certainly not be willing to follow his command in a short period of time. Jiang Cheng thought to himself that in the future, it would depend on whether his father-in-law had the ability to recruit new subordinates, and also whether he could train another troop.

After all, Siping's fiscal revenue is still in his hands.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Hai, you have made a great contribution to Siping;"

"Penicillin production is Jilin's largest and most stable source of income. Apart from anything else, we have successfully signed a warship agreement with Britain, and we have also obtained countless guns and cannons in exchange for it."

"Besides, Siping has always been the most important grain producing area in Jilin. The drought in the three northeastern provinces this year and the resettlement of immigrants have hollowed out Siping."

"No matter what, no matter what happened, you have done your duty and contributed so much to the development of Jilin. As a junior, I can only be grateful and treat Huixin better and rely on Pingchuan more!"

Hai Rusong on the other side was very moved: "Feilan, I have never been wrong about you. Well, to put it bluntly, the reason why the Hai family can be what it is today is because of you, besides your father."

"Otherwise, even if I raise horses for my whole life, I probably won't be able to raise Pingchuan and Huixin. They would have starved to death...Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. From now on, even if I risk my life, I will do more for Jilin and be your vanguard, Jiang Feilan!"

As he spoke, he coughed a few times as if he was somewhat emotional, but he did not directly respond to Jiang Cheng's questioning. He just answered casually and hung up the phone.

The two power plants in the capital are operating at full capacity, and the power generated so far has fully met the electricity needs of the city and surrounding factories.

With the strong support of the United States, the steel plant invested by Jiang Cheng has also entered the commissioning stage.

The arsenal south of Songhua Lake has also begun production, and it is expected that the Jilin army will be able to start using its own bullets this month.

Everything was developing in an orderly manner. Jiang Cheng's lips curled slightly as he thought of this, but his eyes had already turned from the documents on the table to the map behind him.
