Warlord: Starting with Subduing Little A Qiao

"That brat Ye Bai is simply outrageous! We kindly came to him seeking cooperation, but we never expected to be suppressed like this by him?!"

"They actually want all of our opium industry? That's wishful thinking, a pipe dream!"

"They tell us that those who are discerning in times of adversity are the wise ones, but they don't even respect me, Feng Jingyao!"

At this moment, the butler, Uncle Xiang, who was standing nearby, also heard Feng Jingyao's voice and frowned as well.

"It seems that our plan to move the opium den from the International Settlement to the French Concession has probably backfired."

"We originally intended to coexist peacefully, but we never expected that this kid would be so stubborn!"

"If that's how it seems to you, sir, then we'll probably have to think of another way out."

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Ding Li entered the study.

"Mr. Feng, according to the latest news, the British envoy is about to arrive in Shanghai. What should we do?"

As soon as he spoke, the entire study fell silent, clearly as Feng Jingyao was deep in thought.

Neither the butler, Uncle Xiang, nor Ding Li made a sound to disturb them.

A moment later, Feng Jingyao's heavy voice suddenly rang out in the study.

"The special envoy is about to arrive; we must turn the passive situation into the active one."

Since our opium merchants cannot move to the French Concession, then we will protect them safely within the International Settlement.

Halfway through his sentence, Feng Jingyao turned to look at the butler, Uncle Xiang, standing to the side.

"Butler, go to my safe and take a box of large yellow croakers from each of them and send them over immediately. Remember, not small yellow croakers, but large yellow croakers."

The "yellow fish" that Feng Jingyao mentioned was actually a gold bar made using a rolling mill.

They are usually divided into large yellow croaker and small yellow croaker.

Gold bars weighing ten taels or more are called "large yellow croakers," while "small yellow croakers" are usually gold bars weighing around one tael.

At that time, three small yellow croakers cost one hundred silver dollars.

It was clear that Feng Jingyao had spent a considerable sum to entertain the special envoy.

The butler, Uncle Xiang, quickly agreed, "Yes, sir, I'll arrange it right away."

At this moment, Feng Jingyao also looked at Ding Li beside him and gave him instructions in a deep voice.

"Ding Li, keep a close eye on the situation of those special envoys. Once they arrive, send them our visiting cards immediately and be prepared to host a banquet for them..."

As Ding Li's figure gradually disappeared, Feng Jingyao slowly took a drag of his cigarette and fell into deep thought.

After that, only Feng Jingyao's mutterings could be heard in the study.

"Since the negotiations with Ye Bai in the French Concession have failed, we have no choice but to save ourselves!"

Three days later, news of the arrival of British envoy Smith in Shanghai reached the ears of the major powers.

This also reached Ye Bai's ears.

"Brother Ye, should we send our visiting cards to Mr. Smith as soon as possible?"

Xiao Aqiao made this suggestion.

After all, Ye Bai is the president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, and it's necessary to exchange greetings due to his status.

However, upon hearing this suggestion, Ye Bai immediately shook his head.

"No rush, haste makes waste. There will always be someone more anxious than us."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Aqiao immediately understood the implied meaning and realized what was going on.

"Brother Ye, are you saying that Feng Jingyao is probably even more anxious?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai's eyes revealed approval.

Xiao Aqiao's insight into problems is becoming increasingly profound.

“That’s right, the person in charge of the largest opium den in the International Settlement is Feng Jingyao. Right now, Feng Jingyao is the one who’s in a real bind.”

At this point, Ye Bai tapped the table quietly with his fingers, and suddenly changed the subject.

"Please pass this message to Wen Qiang and ask him to investigate the interests and hobbies of this new special envoy."

Once we know the preferences of these special envoys, we will be able to better target our actions.

Xiao Aqiao responded and left the study without asking any further questions.

Ye Bai already had an even bigger idea in mind.

In his view, the arrival of the special envoy was not necessarily a bad thing.

It's possible that this could actually be a good thing.

Chapter 129: Strength Greatly Increased.

In this case

"A total of six styles, ninety-two forms."

"More than 2000 rifles."

"How many shots?"

"Some everyday items."

"." ()

Zhang Dabiao handed a list to Ye Bai.

His hands were trembling.

Their team has truly taken off to new heights.

From the very beginning, they were a useless squad. They had to steal their supplies from the Japanese, and in the end, they ended up like this.

Now, not only do we have guns, we don't even have bullets.

And the food they need is enough to sustain them for a year and a half.

For a short time, he no longer had to worry about anything.

As long as we cultivate diligently, when the time comes, we can show those Japanese people how powerful they are, and that will be enough.

It's like a paradise on earth.

They no longer had any worries, because they knew that Ye Bai was there for them.

There shouldn't be any problems with this.

In this place, Ye Bai is the backbone.

As long as he's there, everyone will feel at ease.

Zhang Dabiao is now completely infatuated with Ye Bai.

Not only him, but the Independent Regiment was the same.

It wasn't because he liked anyone that much; he simply earned everyone's respect through his abilities and actions.

Ye Bai glanced at it, but his face showed no particular emotional fluctuation.

They are not the same people they used to be.

He no longer needs these resources as urgently as he used to.

Of course, it would be even better if we could find it, but that would only be an embellishment.

For Ding Wei, this matter is now considered closed.

Li Yunlong also rushed over late at night. In Ye Bai's eyes, this was just a small matter.

He had no other options besides these.

"Captain, since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I still need to go there for training and also need to transfer some new recruits over."

Zhang Dabiao looked at Ye Bai and complained, "Those newbies just can't endure hardship. They get exhausted after running a few miles. Unlike us, we persevered the whole way."

I'm holding it.

However, they forgot how miserable they had been.

Ye Bai nodded without saying a word.

It's much better to let Zhang Dabiao and the others teach them than to teach them yourself.

Firstly, they were all on equal footing with the new recruits.

We're all family now, and our relationship has improved a lot.

This is like a company CEO who saved Ye Bai a lot of trouble.

Once the foundation is solid, the strength will increase significantly.

In this way, Ye Bai will be able to catch his breath for a little while.

He has been busy with matters concerning Ping'an County lately, and has hardly had any rest.

Although I've gained a decent amount of Military Soul Points, I still need to consider how to maximize their potential.
