Chapter 695 Shoot the man first, shoot the horse, capture the thief first capture the king!
One month later.
Gao Mantang retracted his confession in court, not only exposing Hong Xiazi's various crimes, but also listing a large amount of evidence. Therefore, he was only sentenced to one year, which was regarded as a lighter sentence.
As the chief culprit, Hong Xiazi was executed by firing squad, and more than 20 of his leaders were sentenced to prison terms ranging from five to fifteen years.
The tree fell and the hozens scattered. With Xiazi Hong's death, the Boxer Association was disbanded. The police successively arrested nearly a hundred people. As a result, the number of theft, robbery and abduction cases in Yanjin dropped by 70%!

The illustrated version of Jin Ping Mei was placed on the table. Jiang Xinyu reached out and patted it, saying, "If anyone asks afterward, just say that we were discussing the price of this book!"
"Understood." Wei Zhongwen said.
"Where is that shipment now?"
"In Cao Yunfei's hands, it will be shipped to the Independent Regiment soon."
"How did you deal with those two Boxers?"
"I originally planned to send him to Cao Yunfei to be reformed, but unexpectedly, those two guys tried to escape halfway, so I had to deal with them."
"Our people moved too fast, at least half an hour faster than I expected."
"When you told me about this plan, I thought at that time that the goods were most likely to be hidden outside the city. Blind Man Hong was not stupid, and he was afraid of being found out by the police. Therefore, I sent someone to wait at the city gate in advance, and the intelligence
Once you get it, call them immediately to inform them."
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and said: "That is to say, even if the Secrecy Bureau informs the garrison to seize the goods, you will arrive before them!"
"Of course." Wei Zhongwen smiled.
"How are your legs?"
"It's much better. I can walk without crutches, but I don't dare to walk fast."
"It will take at least two months to fully recover... Oh, by the way, we have found a house."
"where?"
"The house at No. 54 Qingnian Road has been empty for more than half a year and has not been rented out. Even if no one lives in it for a long time, no one will pay attention."
"Okay! I will send someone to rent the house in the afternoon."
Jiang Xinyu picked up the gold vase and said, "Last time, it can be said that we didn't negotiate a good price, so I have to take it away this time."
"Is this genuine?" Wei Zhongwen asked worriedly.
Jiang Xinyu said: "It should be. There are very few fakes of this kind of thing, it is too difficult, and it cannot be sold at a high price."
Wei Zhongwen smiled bitterly and said: "That's good. I was fooled once, and now I'm a little afraid to accept the goods. I'm open to doing business. It's not enough if I don't accept them."
"If you are not sure, you can negotiate with the seller and collect a commission from the sale," Jiang Xinyu said.
"This is also a way..."
"Nothing else, I'm going back."
"Walk slowly."

half year later.
Yanjin Security Bureau Station Director's Office.
A pretentious female voice came from the radio: "Congratulations to the national army for regaining Zhangjiakou! The full text of Chief Fu's open letter to Yan'an is now being broadcast, hoping to learn a lesson, lay down arms, join the government, and promote constitutional government! Because the Communist army broke its promise and besieged Datong, the government declared peace
After all efforts to solve the problem were in vain, the national army in this theater was forced to take action to rescue Datong, but this was sad and not pleasant..."
The full text contained nearly a thousand words. Jiang Xinyu listened quietly. It was not until the broadcast was completed that Qiao Mu reached out and turned off the radio.
"I thought that without the aid of the Americans, we would have had a very difficult time fighting this battle. But now that we look at it, Nie He's loud whistle is just a hollow paper tiger!" Qiao Mucai said cheerfully.
Feng Qingshan said: "Zhangjiakou is known as the second red capital of the Communist Army, and its strategic position is second only to Yan'an. General Fu's success in the first battle has greatly boosted the morale of our army. It is gratifying and gratifying!"
Jiang Xinyu echoed: "I heard that General Fu held a seven-day meeting behind closed doors for this battle. He repeatedly practiced tactics on the sand table. He made full arrangements for how to fight if he won and how to fight if he lost. With such a general leading the army,
, there is no reason not to win!”
Qiao Mucai nodded and said with a smile: "General Fu is indeed a handsome man! Since the non-lineage troops have defeated the Communist army, if the Central Army attacks with heavy troops, why not flee?"
Feng Qingshan sneered: "If you follow me, you don't have to pretend to have peace talks. Talk here and fight there. Aren't you deceiving yourself?"
"Talking and fighting at the same time is part of the war. The winning side will get more chips!" Qiao Mu took a sip from the tea bowl and continued: "Besides, the main force of the Communist Army is still there, and the National Army is in Dingtao.
If you lose an organizer, you will suffer the loss of underestimating the enemy and rushing forward!"
Feng Qingshan disagreed with this statement and said: "I still insist that the establishment of the Military Coordination Office will not be beneficial to us. Instead, it will become a tool for the Communist army to survive. After losing the war, they immediately proposed peace talks, just like the above
It’s the same thing every time, if it weren’t for the bureaucrats’ empty talk that ruined the country, General Sun would have taken Northeast China long ago!”
Qiao Mucai said with a smile: "Why don't I suggest to the commissioner that you be transferred to the Guofang Department? If you have such a military acumen, you will be overqualified in the intelligence department!"
"This is a humble position, but I am worried about the country. Don't be offended if I say a few more words." Feng Qingshan said respectfully.
"I can understand your mood, but you are the director of the intelligence department, not the chief of staff of the war zone. If you can make good suggestions that are consistent with your status, it will be a great benefit to you, this site, and even the party and the country!" Qiao Mucai did not mean to blame.
When chatting, there is no need to make the atmosphere too tense.
Feng Qingshan pondered for a long time, then suddenly he had an idea and said: "Webmaster, after your reminder, I actually came up with a way, but it's a little hasty and may not be mature yet."
"It doesn't matter. Let me tell you. Captain Jiang happens to be here. How can we three cobblers be as good as Zhuge Liang?" Qiao Muchai laughed. He was in a particularly comfortable mood. Retaking Zhangjiakou was indeed a big deal.
Something worth celebrating!
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "The three of us are definitely smarter than the Cobbler."
Feng Qingshan thought for a moment, worked up his emotions for a while, and said, "Webmaster, I heard that there are some of our people in the community, right?"
Qiao Mucai's eyes flashed, the smile on his face gradually condensed, and he said: "I think this kind of thing should not be asked from your mouth!"
Feng Qingshan hurriedly explained: "You can't ask questions about things you shouldn't know. I understand all the disciplines."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Qiao Mucai said doubtfully.
"The Battle of Zhangjiakou attracted the attention of all parties. At least for the big shots in the Communist Army, they had no time to care about anything else. I estimate that they must be meeting every day to study countermeasures!" Feng Qingshan said.
Qiao Mucai was silent, he more or less guessed what Feng Qingshan wanted to say.
"As the saying goes, to shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first, capture the king! If we take this opportunity to secretly call our lurkers and look for opportunities...such as Chen Li, Liu Deng, etc., it will have a vital impact on the situation of the battle!
