Chapter 21: Take the First County

"Can you make that much?"

Huang Haoran made a very surprised look. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This is no less than a stimulant injection in Wang Youda's buttocks, and he hurriedly patted his chest and assured Huang Haoran that the business profits of the tobacco exchange between the three provinces would only be more than he said.

"Commander Huang, you don't know how good your geographical location is! I stay in Gao County, and what I earn is only half of Sichuan and Guizhou, but you can earn three in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan! Control the waterway of the Jinsha River, just hold all the tobacco and soil business in the entire upper reaches, and take the several counties of the Qianjiang River to do their own thing, and the smugglers can still make a detour, avoid the passes, and evade taxes. ”

"Ge Laozi, this is faster than blocking the road and robbing the money!"

Speaking of excitement, Wang Youda even forgot to say Huang Haoran's honorific title "you", and began to call "you" directly, which can be imagined how excited he was.

Eventually, he even began to explode.

Money, there are all white flowers in front of me, why can't I meet such a good thing? Wang Youda was a little jealous of Huang Haoran......

"What my brother said is very reasonable, I really have the heart to do what my brother said, but it's a pity that Yanjin and Pingshan have not been completely controlled by me......"

Huang Haoran has figured out Wang Youda's hole cards, and now it's his turn to ask for the price.

Sure enough, Wang Youda immediately handed over his chips.

"Commander Huang, rest assured, we in Guizhou will fully support you...... I believe that there are also smart people in Yanjin and Pingshan County, and no one wants to miss the ......"

"In that case, I wonder if my brother is willing to set an example and let me send two battalions to the county seat of Gaoxian to make a show?"

Huang Haoran decided to strike while the iron was hot and take Gao County first, now Wang Youda is red-eyed by the huge interests of smuggling tobacco, if he calms down, and then wants to take over Gao County without spending a single soldier, it will be difficult to say.

"No problem......! I'm going to get two security groups out today! ”

"Don't you need to send a telegram for instructions?"

"No, you don't! Brother, I can still call the shots on this matter......"

In the end, there will be another agitation method, so that Wang Youda has no way back.

Huang Haoran did not lie to the other party, he was indeed only going to put two battalions in Gaoxian County, but it was not a new barracks from Yibin, but a training battalion that the 25th Group Army was about to build.

The two battalions of veterans of a hundred battles definitely have more combat power than the two main regiments of the Guizhou Army. Wang Youda only has a few security regiments in his hands, and there is no possibility of returning after leaving the county.

In this way, the first of the three counties was basically won.

Next, Huang Haoran's target is Yanjin under Long Yun's control.

It is different from the scattered Guizhou military forces that have been demolished by the central government. Long Yun, the "King of Yunnan", holds hundreds of thousands of Yunnan troops and serves as deputy commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Government Army, director of the Kunming camp, and director of the Yunnan Provincial Party Department of the ruling party. The eldest son, Ryu Rope Take, is also the righteous son of the highest authority. It's a real local powerhouse.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Long Yun served as the commander of the Third Reserve Army and decided to send 200,000 troops to Yunnan to resist Japan. On September 9, 1937, Longyun's Yunnan Army swore to Wujiaba, and the first batch of more than 40,000 officers and soldiers of the 60th Army walked more than 1,000 kilometers to Changsha to assemble, and then rushed to Taierzhuang, the front line of resistance against Japan.

And these are not the biggest hole cards in the hands of Long Yun, the "King of Yunnan".

The Yunnan-Burma Highway is the highway from Yunnan Province to Myanmar in China. After working day and night shifts, it was finally opened to traffic at the end of August 1938. The highway connects with Myanmar's Central Railway and runs directly to the port of Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar.

In order to build this Yunnan-Burma highway, Long Yun recruited about 200,000 laborers in nearly 30 counties along the route, spending a huge amount of wealth. In the end, he was rewarded with great value!

After the fall of Guangzhou, the Yunnan-Burma Highway became the lifeline of the Wuhan government in the rear of the southwest.

In addition to the aid from the Red Soviet Union in the north, the rest of the weapons and equipment needed by the government troops; all kinds of materials needed to maintain the government's economic function; The basic consumer goods needed by countless people who moved to the rear from within, in short, all the materials needed to sustain the entire war of resistance at that time, which China could not produce, relied on this lifeline to transport to the rear.

Almost overnight, numerous transport companies sprang up along the Kunming and Yunnan-Burma highways, which purchased large quantities of cars and devoted themselves to the busy transportation business. They imported large quantities of cotton yarn, cloth, auto parts and all the consumer goods they could buy from Myanmar and shipped them back to the country, all of which were quite lucrative, and it was a golden age for merchants. On the Yunnan-Burma Highway, there is an endless stream of cars, "three-ton Chevrolet", "three-ton Ford", "3.5-ton Dodge", and "4.5-ton Da International", rushing to transport materials day and night.

The city of Kunming developed rapidly, and governments of various countries opened consulates in Kunming, and Kunming, an ancient and peaceful city, suddenly became the busiest and most international metropolis in the national control area.

The Yunnan-Burma Highway has completely achieved Longyun. He, the king of Yunnan, has more and more power to speak in the government. There is also more and more wealth in the pocket.

Therefore, in dealing with the problem in Yanjin County, it is necessary to adopt a completely different approach from Gao County.

Qianjun is very short of money, and Long Yun lacks a sense of security.

Since Long Yun ascended the throne of provincial chairman in 1928 and took control of the situation in Yunnan, he relied on the officers who graduated from the Yunnan Jiangwutang to control the Yunnan army on the one hand, and purchased a large number of weapons from the French colonies of Vietnam and the British colonies of Burma and India to enrich the strength of the army.

Relying on the army equipped with foreign weapons, Long Yun firmly anchored the gate of Yunnan Province, and the power of the central government was never able to penetrate in.

But with the full-scale Japanese invasion of China, the political soil for Yunnan's survival changed. The supreme authority became the only leader, and the government was the only one. As a result, Yunnan Province has no reason to close its doors.

The fall of Wuhan is imminent. As the leader of the Anti-Japanese War, the supreme authorities have always liked to be close to Western forces. In his eyes, the mountain city of Chongqing always seems a little earthy and cannot match his identity.

The more prosperous Kunming became, the more the highest authorities wanted to get involved. And this is absolutely unacceptable to Long Yun.

Therefore, for the birth of the Yibin Garrison Command, Long Yun's reaction was very intense. On the day Huang Haoran received the letter of appointment, one of the main divisions of the Dian Army was transferred to Yanjin County. Then the next day, Long Yun's eldest son, Long Shenwu, took the position of magistrate of Yanjin County in Kunming.

This is almost equivalent to announcing that he Yunnan Wang Longyun wants to live and die with Yanjin County.

The fact that he was able to close the gates of Yunnan Province for more than ten years fully illustrates Long Yun's ability to control the Dian army, which is completely loyal to Long Yun, and Huang Haoran can hardly find room to wander around.

If you want to take over Yanjin County, you can only take the high-level route and negotiate directly with Kunming. (To be continued.) )
