Chapter 8: Guerrilla (36)

On the weekend, early in the morning, Mo Di and Liu Jingzhi and others came to the door of the captain's house, waiting to get the release slip, because they had been bribed by Liu Jingzhi, the captain did not dare to slack off, got up from the bed, and opened a note for Liu Jingzhi to let them go. Seeing that Mo Di was also among them, he joked: "Tianzong is not going to spend any more time in the library today, and he has gone out to relax." As I said a long time ago, you are all young people, with strong blood, and you are stuffy in the mountains every day, and you will become a true Taoist priest even if you don't become a monk. Mo Di smiled and said, "The captain is on duty in the mountains on weekends, has he already cultivated to become a Buddha?" The captain didn't answer yet, but Zhang Zhinong preemptively said: "The captain just stays here on Sunday, and there are six days a week at the bottom of the mountain. The captain stretched out his hand and slapped Zhang Zhinong on the back, and said with a smile: "I am a mortal, and I also have seven emotions and six desires." Since the start of the tour class, Nanyue Town under the mountain is only afraid of concentrating more than 100 people from all over the country, every weekend, the business is good, unprecedented, you guys, rich and powerful, leisurely, tomorrow will have morning exercises. ”

Everyone laughed, walked through the school gate with the release slip, and walked down the hill with a grin.

As soon as he walked to the end of the path, the sharp-eyed Zhang Zhinong suddenly shouted: "Car! Cart! Our car. ”

Mo Di looked up and saw that a Nissan rabbit was parked at the end of the road, and Zhao Guolong was standing by the car watching their appearance.

"Tianzong, you, the leader of the guards, are really sensible, as long as he is in Lei Gongtan, every Sunday, he will definitely appear here early in the morning, pick us up, and send us back in the evening, we have already enjoyed it twice." Li Shigui said with admiration.

When Mo Di heard Li Shigui's words, he looked proud, this is a very long-faced thing! He knew that Zhao Guolong's purpose was to pick him up, and as for the others, it was purely incidental. Walking towards Zhao Guolong with a smile, Zhao Guolong also greeted him and said, "Boss, you finally came out, every time I heard that you were studying, I didn't want to come out, which made the brothers very disappointed." ”

Mo Di smiled and said, "The purpose of my coming here is to study, and I finally have this opportunity and time, and I don't want to waste it." ”

Zhao Guolong opened the door of the passenger cab and asked Mo Di to sit down, Mo Di also wanted to give in, only to see that the other five people had already climbed into the car skillfully, and asked Mo Di to just sit down and ignore them, it was already very satisfying to have a car to sit in, not to mention that the small cab could not sit so many people. Zhao Guolong put a few wooden planks in the trunk, and put them on the trunk boards on both sides, it became a good seat, five people sat on it, it was very wide, the car also had a canvas canopy, and it was not too bad to sit in it, so Mo Wei sat in the cab.

After Zhao Guolong closed the passenger door, he bypassed the front of the car, got into the cab, and started the car with a light.

"Boss still doesn't smoke?" Zhao Guolong pointed to Nanyang Shuangxi under his feet and said, "These are all brought back from Guangzhou, and they are cheaper every time." ”

"I won't give it to them this time, I'll take it in and give it to the instructors later." Mo Di said: "Do you always bring back some private property from Guangdong?"

Zhao Guolong nodded and said, "We have money in our bags and guns in our hands, and wherever we go, we are unimpeded, and we can't say anything if we don't bring some goods back by the way." This time, we brought a full 3,000 catties of raw salt and sent it to the area of Qianxi, which is a large amount of income. ”

Mo Di nodded, it is a good thing to be able to get money, money is the courage of people, and it is difficult to move an inch without money.

"Boss, are we doing something bad?" Zhao Guolong said hesitantly.

"What bad things are you doing?" Puzzled, he turned to the side and looked at Zhao Guolong, who was driving.

"We sent a large amount of opium to Guangzhou, which is something that harms the common people." Zhao Guolong said: "This time we were in trouble, and a patrol team checked us south of Fogang. ”

"Confiscated things?" Mo Di asked eagerly.

"Nope." Zhao Guolong shook his head.

"Who are they?" Mo Di breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a patrol of the new government in Guangzhou, and the Japanese are leading the team." Zhao Guolong said: "The Japanese are military policemen, and they are very energetic in their black leather boots, and the patrol team is locals, dressed in black uniforms, but they are also neat." The Japanese military police Isshiki's southern sixteen, and the patrol Ichishiki's Tomosaka Type 44 cavalry rifle are short and concise, and they are very convenient. We did not expect to set up a new checkpoint in Longtan, and as soon as we saw this checkpoint, we knew that the Japanese had gained a firm foothold in the Pearl River area. ”

Mo Di nodded, the Japanese army entered Guangzhou in October last year, and it has been half a year, and Yu Hanmou from Guangdong has been driven to the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, and the Pearl River Delta has been included in the bag, and after half a year of operation, it seems that it has gradually stabilized. Thinking of this, Mo Di asked, "You don't have a conflict, right?" ”

"It's a conflict!" Zhao Guolong's words made Mo Di very startled.

"We are all plainclothes. Our gang, all of them are the 16th in the south, and the guards of Chief Liang are all M712 of the same color, and I first said good things to them, but if I couldn't get through, I fired. Zhao Guolong said: "There were a total of twelve people who guarded the card, and we fired a salvo to clean them all up, and after that, we moved the bodies together, poured a barrel of gasoline, and burned them. When we came back, we didn't take this line, we walked Qingyuan. All the way I wondered if we had done something wrong by smuggling opium and beating up the patrol team! ”

"Hehe, what's wrong." Mo Di said with a smile: "Opium is something that our family has grown, it is very good, and it is not difficult to make opium paste, and the cost is very low." The reason why this thing is sold so expensive, on the one hand, is that it is scarce and expensive, and on the other hand, it is also deliberately caused by the government. ”

"Intentionally?" Zhao Guolong asked puzzled.

"Opium ghosts are not like people and ghosts, but they are sure of one thing, as long as they can exchange opium back, they can do anything. Why the state can allow such a group of people to exist is the need of the state. The state needs to return their assets to the state through opium. Mo Di's words surprised Zhao Guolong, and he only heard Mo Di continue: "If the country doesn't need them, a paper ban, anyone who smokes opium will be killed, and no opium ghost will be guaranteed." You don't have to think about whether there is a mistake in buying opium. Opium is a kind of juice, born in the wild, grown in grass, withered and haphazard, and there is no sin. As for the opium merchants, they are not at fault, they are only the distributors of a certain commodity, and in their view, opium is no different from cloth, and it is only a profit-maker. We cannot convict them of this. I remember that there was a story in the Three Kingdoms, Shu was short of food, and the whole country banned alcohol, Liu Bei issued an order to destroy all the wine-making tools, and those who left wine-making tools were guilty of the same crime as the winemakers. One day, Liu Bei and Sun Gan went out on patrol, suddenly, Sun Gan pointed to a man and said, it was a rapist, Liu Bei asked Sun Gan in surprise how he knew, Sun Gan said that the man had a tool for rape. Liu Bei immediately understood what Sun Qian meant, having tools is not the same as making forbidden objects, there is an essential difference. Opium is a good medicine, and it is understandable to have opium, which is used to cure diseases and use it as medicine, and it does have miraculous effects. However, some people prefer to use it to smoke, hurt the body, paralyze the spirit, become opium ghosts, and finally break up their wives and families, and they are to blame. The purpose of the state, which does not punish those who smoke, but adopts the restriction of merchant behavior, is obvious: the state does not want to ban opium consumption at all, but does not want to share this huge profit to individuals. Officials sell and buy privately, and whoever has the ability earns it. ”

Zhao Guolong nodded, this is really the truth, why does the country not ban smoking but only prohibiting trading, suddenly, Zhao Guolong seemed to understand something, opium is a thing, the state does not prohibit the buying and selling, but prohibits individual trading, if the state comes forward to buy and sell, everything will be logical. It's just that as a sovereign country, it's too shameless to do this kind of indiscriminate thing publicly, so there is this kind of move that wants to do * and wants to set up a memorial arch. But the Japanese occupiers were different, they could let go and do it, because the purpose of their coming to China was not to build, but to plunder, as long as they could plunder China's materials, any means could be used, and they could do everything.

"The Japanese occupied the Pearl River Delta, and they naturally knew how profitable opium was, and if they wanted to occupy this market, they would inevitably ban opium from entering through various channels. If all the channels are blocked, this place will be left to do whatever they want. Mo Enemy analyzed: "The reason why you get such a high profit in Guangzhou is also because the trade route from Yunnan to Guangdong through Guangxi was cut off by the Japanese. When I was in Guilin, I chatted with Zhang Yongfa's boss Zhang Xiangpu, and I knew that the price of opium would naturally rise when the Guangdong market was out of stock, and whoever could get the goods in at this time would make a fortune. We have cars and guns, and the little ghosts don't dare to provoke the big ghosts and don't want to move, so we have an opportunity. Once the Japanese straighten out other aspects of management, we will certainly not be allowed to continue to do whatever we want. ”

Zhao Guolong couldn't stop nodding and said, "Then we can't deliver goods to Guangdong after that?" ”

"Who said it couldn't!" Mo Di smiled: "In these years, if you have a gun, you are the king of grass, and more than 20 of you are engaged in armed smuggling. Next time, if there is still a patrol looking for trouble, it will be extinguished. Even if someone finds out that we did it, they still dare to come to Hengyang to find our trouble, but the Japanese want to come to Hengyang, and they must have that ability! ”

Zhao Guolong heard this kind of truth for the first time, he didn't feel stupid, and the direction of the car forgot to operate, and he rushed into the side of the road at the end, Mo Di hurriedly pulled the steering wheel on the side, and the car shook violently, waking Zhao Guolong up, and hurriedly put the direction in his hand, which is the direction that the boss rescued, and he couldn't be sloppy anymore.

On the official road, the car did not drive slowly, when passing the bazaar, two soldiers who had gotten off here before, loaded the items purchased from the bazaar into the car, there were fresh pork, fine pork belly, and two three or four catties of Xiangjiang miscellaneous fish, still opening and closing their mouths, making the last struggle. Zhang Zhinong picked up a leg of mutton, sniffed it to his nose, sighed like a super enjoyment, and exclaimed: "Dog's day, I'm just afraid that I haven't eaten mutton for a year!" I can't wait to bite into it and taste the taste of mutton. ”

Everyone laughed, after eating vegetarian food for a week in the Yougan class, everyone had a low stomach, and when they saw the meat, their mouths were bubbling with sour water, and it was already very enjoyable to be able to come out every week to open the Kai Kai and beat the tooth sacrifice.
