The New Fourth Army opened a cigarette factory, Pegasus brand cigarettes sold well throughout the country, and Japanese and pseudo-military weapons and intelligence exchanged cigarettes

preface

After a meal, a cigarette, raced through the living immortals

。 Since its birth, cigarettes have been favored by many people. At the same time, it is also controversial, and many people believe that it is a "chronic drug" that will make people fall into it and harm their health. Others think it represents a culture.

It encompasses regional, cultural and personal ideas,

If it doesn't have these things inside, then it's just some grass leaves.

We all know that our great Chairman Mao likes to smoke, almost without leaving his hand, then you know that during the War of Resistance Against Japan, our army produced a brand of cigarettes.

Not only did it solve the problem of our army's survival, but even the Japanese army exchanged ammunition and intelligence

Today's Fanghua past will talk to you,

Pegasus cigarettes that are not weapons but better than weapons

The New Fourth Army opened a cigarette factory, Pegasus brand cigarettes sold well throughout the country, and Japanese and pseudo-military weapons and intelligence exchanged cigarettes

Figure Pegasus brand cigarettes

At the beginning of the establishment of the New Fourth Army, it was temporarily under the command of the Third Theater of the National Names Party, but the meager military salaries received from the National Names Party every month.

It can only barely maintain the daily expenses of the army

。 In 1940, after the Anhui Incident, the Kuomintang government not only slandered the New Fourth Army as a "rebel", but also sent troops to encircle and suppress it. Therefore, the survival situation of the troops is even more severe,

Zhang Yunyi was appointed deputy commander of the New Fourth Army

After he took office, he actively carried out the work of the troops and continued to strengthen the revolutionary forces of the New Fourth Army.

Seeing the addition of fresh blood, the troops are constantly growing

He also ushered in a big problem, more and more people,

However, the troops do not have much food in stock, and there is no source of food for them, so sooner or later they will sit on the mountain and eat the air

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly looked up and saw the portrait of Chairman Mao, who once said:

If there are no aircraft cannons, then the enemy will come and build them for us

。 But

At present, the troops have just been expanded not long ago, most of them are still new recruits, and guns and ammunition are even more pitiful

moreover

The newly formed army risked seizing enemy funds, and in case of mistakes, the troops suffered serious losses, which betrayed the trust of the organization in him

The New Fourth Army opened a cigarette factory, Pegasus brand cigarettes sold well throughout the country, and Japanese and pseudo-military weapons and intelligence exchanged cigarettes

Chairman Mao's speech

He then organized a meeting, hoping to come up with a suitable strategy. At the meeting, everyone made positive statements, and many methods were said, but none of them were safe. At this moment,

One person's statement brought the meeting to fruition

。 That is, Hu Biliang, then the minister of supply in the Huainan region of the New Fourth Army,

He analyzed: Now there are several counties in the Huainan region, and we have sent troops to eliminate the bandits.

It has promoted our democratic sovereignty and assisted in the establishment of local district and township governments

。 The peasants' lives are hopeful and full of energy, and their grain production has increased a lot compared with the past.

I recommend:

Without affecting the living needs of the local people and economic development, a reasonable tax system should be established and some grain should be appropriately collected in order to alleviate the problems of the current troops

In that year, cao cao and Zuo Zongtang had both implemented it

Tuntian policy, the army to protect the people, the people to raise the army,

The soldiers also helped the peasants to cultivate the land together, a method that saved their armies at the time. Soon, the fields were full of soldiers and civilians working together, and the food problem of the troops was temporarily solved. However, military expenditure is the foundation for strengthening the troops, and if you want to strengthen the troops, you must buy guns and guns.

Money is undoubtedly the biggest problem.

Until one day,

The actions of a warrior made the matter turn around

。 On this day, Hu Biliang was walking around outside, when he suddenly saw a warrior picking up a cigarette butt on the ground, which made him a little angry: You are standing guard now, you should not smoke

We must pay attention to the image of the New Fourth Army and try not to smoke in the troops

。 For Zhang Yunyi's teaching, the warrior said that he would not repeat it in the future.

A few days later, while inspecting, he found another warrior rolling up the leaves and smoking them. This made Zhang Yunyi a little confused and asked him:

How to smoke leaves, is the addiction so big

? The warrior lowered his head and said only to the promise: Chief, after eating every day, it will not take long to be hungry, and he wants to smoke a cigarette to alleviate his hunger, but there is no smoke, so he can only think of a way to do it himself.

Hearing what the warrior said, Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

He didn't prevent the soldiers from smoking, he was afraid that smoking would harm their health

。 He patted the warrior on the shoulder: We must be good warriors, even if it is difficult, we must find a way to overcome

Now organizations are figuring out ways to solve these challenges.

After that, he consulted with Hu Biliang, and after many times of thinking and research, they finally finalized a plan -

Run a tobacco factory

。 First of all,

It solves the problem of the needs of the warriors

secondly

The extra cigarettes can be sold for money as military expenses

。 But at present, funding is a big problem, maintaining daily expenses is a problem, then there is money to run a tobacco factory.

The New Fourth Army opened a cigarette factory, Pegasus brand cigarettes sold well throughout the country, and Japanese and pseudo-military weapons and intelligence exchanged cigarettes

Figure Smoke factory

As the saying goes,

It is difficult for a woman to cook without rice

We can't grab it, and if we take the formal path, it's not a small problem.

Now that the decision has been made, it should be implemented.

Zhang Yunyi took out all his wealth

He ordered Luo Binghui to only allow success and not to fail. After receiving the funds,

Hu Biliang adhered to the principle of thriftily doing great things

So he came to the town to investigate the situation, and after a morning of inquiry,

He found that a lot of them were

The price of tobacco that the people dry themselves is not very high, but there are many cigarettes rolled out

A pound of tobacco can roll up more than sixty packs of cigarettes. But the problem is,

Most of the tobacco was bought by some profiteers, who were only interested in supplying the army of the National Name Party, and selling it to the people was one dollar and one bag

After hearing the deeds of these unscrupulous businessmen, I deeply hated them.

He heard from a fellow,

Due to the oppression of profiteers, most of the local tobacco factories have closed down.

After hearing this news, Hu Biliang's heart immediately had his own small calculation. After returning to the military region, he reported the situation to Zhang Yunyi, and there was a family in the town that met the requirements.

The terrain is remote and it is not easy to attract the attention of the Kuomintang army

The two agreed and decided to set out tomorrow to open up a new path for the organization.

The next day, it was just hazy,

They set out on a path to solve the problem of the survival of the troops

。 Under the guidance of their fellow villagers, they quickly found the owner of this tobacco factory, and they directly indicated their intentions.

Perhaps because of the previous suppression of the army, the boss has some distrust and even fear for the soldiers.

After seeing the boss's strategy, the two made it clear that we are not bandits and robbers like the Kuomintang.

Our New Fourth Army pays attention to equality with the people, we pay for your tobacco farm, and you can get 20% of the profit every month

。 But there is a premise,

It's just that we can't reveal the things we work with to others

。 After a little thought, the boss agreed, and they left a sum of money as a deposit.

This makes the boss more trusting of them.

Zhang Yunyi said: Since this is our first battle outside the battlefield, we should give it a meaningful name.

May the development of the revolution be like a galloping horse

That's called"

Pegasus

"Cigarettes."

In the production process, the superiors are even more explicitly instructed:

The quality of the product must be strictly required, even in the face of the poor public, it must still be high quality

。 To this end, five quality policies have been specially formulated:

A tobacco leaf to be used the best, but also set up a special transport team to transport the best tobacco leaves from all over the country

Second, the production should be fine, the tobacco leaves should be selected among the best, the tobacco stems must be all removed, and when stir-fried, they must reach the point where they are not scorched or broken.

Three scientific additions of spices, according to the taste of other brands of cigarettes, learn from each other

Fourth, exquisite packaging, every cigarette must be to be refined

Fifth, quality control, pick out defective products, and take them as a warning

Due to its high quality and good taste, Pegasus cigarettes are also becoming more and more popular

。 It not only satisfies the expenses of the army, but also supports other troops. At one point, its role far exceeded its economic interests.

The scout Ju Changyu was ordered to go to Jiashan to spy on the enemy

He had heard that there was a pseudo-army commander here who was a big smoker.

Wondering if I could take advantage of this and get a little bit of intelligence from him

One day, when he heard that this pseudo-army commander was drinking tea in the tea house, he greeted him directly, and after a bout of "flattery", he said his thoughts.

He wanted to exchange three packs of cigarettes for a military uniform and go back to his hometown to fool the townspeople

。 The commander of the pseudo-army immediately agreed, a set of military uniforms a piece of cake,

Smoking is the root of life, it is okay not to eat or drink, and it is absolutely impossible not to smoke

。 Ju Changyu wanted to try the courage of this puppet army by changing his military uniform first.

If it is feasible, then put the long line, and you will not worry about catching big fish.

A few days afterwards, Ju Changyu used cigarettes as a chip in exchange for more things, after which they agreed to eat together.

From time to time, a little useful information could be drawn out of his mouth.

Once, when drunk, he also slipped it out of the mouth of the puppet army commander: Tomorrow, a japanese company will attack the New Fourth Army in the direction of Xuyi Longshan.

After learning this news, Ju Changyu quickly returned to the division headquarters to report.

Because our army had already seized the opportunity, the entire Japanese army was completely annihilated.

No exaggeration

, this is the credit of Pegasus brand cigarettes

A cigarette has also become a weapon to destroy the enemy

In the era of war, there are many people and things that have made their own contributions, and our peace today is what they have paid for everything to get back.

We should cherish the present, inherit their spirit, and continue to defend the motherland.
