Biyun Mountain is more than 5,000 meters above sea level, but because it is located in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, for the mountainous southwest, the altitude of 4,000 meters can only be regarded as an ordinary mountain range.

This mountain range is not vast, with a radius of less than 100 miles, and there is only one main peak, on which a lot of snow accumulates on the top of the mountain. From halfway up the mountain to the foot of the mountain, there is lush vegetation everywhere. Due to the climate change caused by the altitude, there are many rare plants and animals on this mountain. The locals of Yunnan are not accustomed to the plateau climate above 4,000 meters. The bandits of Heiyunzhai also set up the cottage in the middle of the mountain, which is not only convenient for going down the mountain to loot, but also has a more suitable climate.

In this place where the cliffs stand, a large number of Dai style stilted buildings are erected, exuding the charm of ancient sè. In this cottage zhōng yāng is a small waterfall, the snow water that melts over the years merges with the mountain spring and falls from a high place, forming a waterfall more than ten meters high in this relatively flat place. In conjunction with the verdant primeval jungle here, there is a poetic feeling.

"Great place, really nice place. It's a terrible thing that such a natural beauty has allowed a gang of rude bandits to toss for so long. "Looking at the environment of this Black Cloud Village......" Ji Cong, the political commissar of the Koutuan, unconsciously sour.

"Okay political commissar, your sour gas will come back later, now clean up the battlefield first and find out the situation of this gang of bandits. Looking at the posture of this Black Cloud Village, I'm afraid things are not as simple as we imagined. "Looking at the neatly laid Dai buildings...... Qian Dagen, the head of the group, frowned unconsciously.

"Huh?" With Qian Dagen's words, Ji Cong also discovered something unusual.

"There are masters in this Black Cloud Village! At least there are experts to guide the construction of these Dai stilted buildings. "If it were just a gangster who rose from the end of the world, it would be impossible for him to have such a brain and courage. Although there are dense bamboo forests here and there are sufficient materials for the construction of stilted buildings, they want to integrate the construction of stilted buildings with the environment here, and reduce the damage to the environment as much as possible.

"Look, Captain, there's some crude buildings near the waterhole. If I'm not mistaken, these buildings were built after the bandits took over the place. Before these bandits appeared, I am afraid that there would be these stilted buildings here, maybe this is the Dai people's - the entrance ...... place," Ji Cong said in deep thought.

"Lao You, this is the stilted building of your Dai people, this place should have something to do with you, right?" Qian Dagen doesn't understand these things, but this doesn't prevent people from asking who understand. And this Tao translator is the best candidate. The Dai translator's name is Avocado. Although his hometown is not on the border, after all, he is a Dai person, and he always knows more about the situation in their clan than outsiders.

"I've never been to this place, it's the border between our country and Myanmar, and it's a primeval jungle. Perhaps the old people in the village may not know what is going on here. Looking at the magnificent stilted building, the avocado can't be sure. This kind of inkstone stilted building is nothing in the place where the Dai tribes gather, but it is different in this remote place.

At this moment, a group of soldiers escorted a dozen prisoners over.

"Report to the head of the regiment, this is the top of the bandits that we have captured, there are eight leaders, three Han Chinese, two Dai people, and three Burmese." — said the battalion commander aloud.

"What about our casualties?" Qian Dagen said in a deep voice.

"There were no casualties, only three brothers were injured by stray bullets." - said the battalion commander.

"How many people were captured?" Ji Cong asked. This mountain is not small, and if the enemy finds it early, there will definitely be fish that have escaped with the help of the environment.

"We killed more than 100 people, and the remaining 800 or so were basically taken prisoner. After interrogation, only one Burmese escaped. —said the battalion commander excitedly.

"What's the catch?" This group of people has been entrenched in Myanmar for many years, and they must have a lot of supplies.

"Seized - a batch of weapons and ammunition, there are also silver coins, but not much, and - a large pile of white sè powder is treasured by the bandits, not just whether it is poison powder or not!"

"Poison powder?" Ji Cong frowned.

"Take us around!"

In the largest stilted building in Heiyunzhai zhōng yāng, there is a Han-style plaque with three extraordinary seal characters on it.

"Juyitang! The name is good, but it is used on some bandits who burn and loot in vain. Ji Cong looked at the three-character plaque on the stilted building and said.

"Alright. Let's go and see the catch! Qian Dagen interrupted Ji Cong and took the lead in the inner hall.

"What is this?" Looking at the white sè powder that was the size of a cube, a small packet, and a small packet, Qian Dagen frowned, he didn't know what it was, and he didn't dare to move. He looked back at Ji Cong, who also looked away, saying that he didn't know him.

"This ...... Is this it? "Follow the avocado face that came in behind — change.

"What's wrong? Do you know this thing? Ji Cong asked.

"I'm not sure, but I've heard that somebody in the Burmese region has been extracted from opium—a white sè powder. After smoking, the effect is several times stronger than opium. And it's more addictive than opium. But no one has ever seen this kind of poisonous powder. ”

"Extracted from opium?" Qian Dagen was also stunned. They didn't expect it to be something like this.

"Battalion Commander Wang, immediately interrogate those bandit leaders, be sure to find out this thing, if it is really a poisonous powder extracted from opium, then we must report it as soon as possible, although this kind of thing is small in size, but it is more harmful. - Once it spreads, the responsibility is not something we can bear. Ji Cong's face became very solemn. Since Feng Yong ruled the country, he has issued a harsh magic stick to eliminate the influence of opium in China. In addition to setting up more than 1,000 drug rehabilitation centers throughout the country, it has also set up a special customs anti-narcotics department for this purpose, equipped with a large number of small surface warships, and carried out strict inventory of seaborne goods entering China, and has also set up garrisons on land borders to conduct inspections. Without these measures, the Chinese roots would not have been able to detect dozens of ships of opium a few months ago, and the dangerous situation in China would not be the present.

These bandits were not only weak in combat, but also soft in bones, and before the Wehrmacht had used up their interrogation methods, they were paralyzed with fright. The scramble to pour out the origin of these powders.

"It's called heroin, and it's really extracted from opium.

According to the bandits, these things came from Burmese territory and were obtained from the Burmese division, which was thirty kilometers from the border. I heard that it was produced in a British factory in Myanmar. The annual production is not much, and the price is very expensive. And since it was produced, it was more expensive than gold, because it was easier to carry and smuggle than opium, and it was circulated throughout the dark side of Southeast Asia. Ji Cong said with a heavy face.

But heroin is relatively rare in China, which has always been an opium-infested area. The reason for this is simple. Whether it is China in the Manchu Dynasty or China in the Beiyang Zhèng Fǔ Period, the rule of officials**. Especially after tariffs were controlled by Western countries, contraband like opium became a legal commodity in China. Officials across China were involved in the opium trade for profiteering. This has led to a serious opium epidemic.

Compared with the expensive heroin, China, which is already poor, has a greater acceptance of opium. Neither ordinary people nor officials and gentry have any objection to smoking big cigarettes, but they really don't agree with smoking this heroin or injecting shèmorphine into the meridians. In a country that relies on natural Chinese medicine, it is difficult for the Western medical ideas to spread to China's backward rural areas in a short period of time. In addition, opium is also cultivated in large quantities in China, so that the opium market has always been hot in China. The heroin, which is easy to carry and private, is transported to developed countries, and the United States, which is considered to be the hometown of zì yóu, is the area where heroin walks are most extensive. There is also a large amount of circulation in the Western world, and drugs are a double-edged sword, just because they are produced by colonizers. It is also possible to poison the country's population.

After the establishment of China's new zhèng fǔ, it cracked down on opium sales networks nationwide, banned opium cultivation, put opium traffickers in prison, and forced drug rehabilitation for opium smokers. The whole of China, Xiazi, changed from an ideal country for opium circulation to a forbidden area for opium. Myanmar is an important source of opium, and a large amount of opium flows into Myanmar every year. But many of these networks were disconnected during the war. Later, the British were forcefully interrupted by the Chinese zhèng fǔ by transporting opium through customs. The British in Burma wanted to put pressure on China by force, and they began to send heroin into China. I want heroin to replace opium and become a poison that poisons the Chinese system.

"Regiment commander, immediately report the matter here to the brigade commander, this matter is probably not as simple as we imagined. These bandits said that in the past they only sold opium, but since the crackdown in the country, they have not dared to enter again. In order to prevent attracting the attention of the Chinese zhèng fǔ, and thus being surrounded and suppressed by the border garrison. But then they heard that someone had made a fortune smuggling heroin into the country, and zhèng fǔ was still blank in this regard. More than a dozen village owners of Heiyun Village, who discussed it, took advantage of their relationship in the Burmese division to get involved. But what they didn't expect was that they could easily get heroin, which was more expensive than gold per ton, and the cost of so much heroin was simply not affordable in Heiyunzhai. After all, Heiyunzhai is only the king and hegemon in this high mountain and dense forest, surrounded by poor and backward Dai villages and Burmese people, except for the resources in the mountains, there is nothing to get hold of. But the strange thing is that the Burmese division did not let them pay in full immediately, but only paid a deposit of half and sent the goods. He was even accompanied by a British major. This is a great thing for Heiyunzhai. The British are well-deserved uncrowned kings in Burma, and of course the little bandit cottage in Heiyun Village does not dare to offend.
