Tang Camp
Tang Jinghong reviewed all the letters and books that Chu Qingzhi had sent him, and then pulled out a map from among them.
The map was marked with many symbols, but without any explanations, it was unclear what they indicated.
After studying it for a while, he realized that the map pinpointed the cultivation sites of poppy plants.
With this information, there was no longer any need for the laborious search for poppy fields.
"Summon someone!"
A guard entered, "General?"
Tang Jinghong looked up at the guard, "Call Meng Shengdong here."
"Yes."
Meng Shengdong was training soldiers in the drill ground and hurried over upon hearing the summons, "General, is there a discovery?"
Tang Jinghong handed him the map, "I'm assigning you ten thousand soldiers. Take them to these locations marked on the map and eradicate the poppy fields."
Destroying the roots would effectively end the production of the opium.
