Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

"It was only out of consideration for Feng Jingyao that we gave him four districts to manage temporarily. However, it is impossible for us to give these four districts to him forever."

"The entire Shanghai is the territory of our three families. No outsiders are allowed to interfere."

“So, we still have to take back those four districts.”

Huang Jinrong finished speaking, and Zhang Xiaolin glanced at him and said, "Take it back. You want to take it back now, but is it possible? Will Ye Yunfei obediently hand over those four districts to you?"

"Don't dream. Ye Yunfei has already swallowed up all the money from those four districts. How could he possibly give it back to you?"

"Don't even think about it."

At this time, Du Yuesheng said, "Boss Zhang is right. Ye Yunfei can't give us back the four districts he has swallowed."

"But we can't just leave Ye Yunfei alone. Have you received the news? In the past month, Longmen has been recruiting soldiers and horses, and has recruited tens of thousands of disciples."

"I also learned through internal channels that Ye Yunfei also obtained a large amount of arms from overseas."

"With the number of people and the weapons, Longmen is now incomparable to before."

"I feel that Longmen is a little out of control now."

boom.

After Du Yuesheng finished speaking, Huang Jinrong slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "Asshole, Ye Yunfei actually dared to go back on his word. He had promised us before that he would not expand his power, but now, he is secretly recruiting disciples again and buying arms from overseas."

"He has seriously violated our previous agreement. We can't let him go."

Zhang Xiaolin stared at Du Yuesheng and said, "Boss Du, Ye Yunfei really recruited soldiers and bought arms from overseas."

Du Yuesheng said: "My information should be correct. He has recruited a lot of people recently. It is said that he not only recruited people from Shanghai, but also from other places."

"I even heard that he sent people to the inland areas to recruit young and strong men from some remote places in the inland areas to join Longmen."

"In a short period of time, he has recruited a lot of talents for Longmen. I don't know the exact number yet, but I can be sure that it is definitely a huge number."

Zhang Xiaolin looked unhappy and said, "This guy had agreed with us before that he would not expand his power, but now he has taken advantage of our carelessness and secretly recruited so many people. He is really a bad guy."

"From the fact that he is still aggressively recruiting troops, it can be seen that he may want to further expand his power. I am afraid that he will pose a huge threat to us."

Du Yuesheng said: "It is a threat for sure. From the first time I saw that guy, I felt that he is definitely not the kind of person who is easy to deal with. His eyes are full of ambition. This is not just ordinary ambition, but the ambition to dominate the world."

"To be honest, I have only seen such an ambitious look in one person's eyes before."

Zhang Xiaolin asked, "Who?"

Du Yuesheng said: "Who else could it be except that bald guy from the Republic of China?"

"You should remember that we all met him when he was stranded in Shanghai. I saw that look in his eyes at that time, and no one else."

"I didn't expect that after so long, I would see this kind of look again."

“It really surprised me.”

Zhang Xiaolin and Huang Jinrong both frowned.

They didn't expect Du Yuesheng to compare Ye Yunfei with that bald guy. This comparison scared them a little.

But it must be said that there are indeed some similarities between Ye Yunfei and that bald man.

"I received a message, too."

At this time, Huang Jinrong said again: "I heard that guy recently recruited a very outstanding young man named Xu Wenqiang."

"This Xu Wenqiang is extremely capable, both literary and martial. After he arrived at Longmen, he immediately managed Longmen in an orderly manner."

"His joining has further enhanced Longmen's strength."

The three of them shared the news they received.

After he finished speaking, Du Yuesheng said, "You all already know the situation. Considering all the circumstances, Ye Yunfei has big plans. His goal is not those four districts, but the entire Shanghai."

"The three of us will become his prey sooner or later."

"So, now we should figure out how to deal with him."

Zhang Xiaolin looked at the two and said, "What do you mean?"

Du Yuesheng said: "It's not interesting. There are only two possible outcomes. One is to be swallowed by him, and the other is to fight him to the death."

"It depends on your choice."

Huang Jinrong said, "Needless to say, of course it's a fight to the death. I've been in Shanghai for so many years, I will never give up these things so easily. Whoever dares to snatch my territory and property, I will fight him to the death."

Du Yuesheng looked at Zhang Xiaolin and said, "What about you? What do you think?"

Zhang Xiaolin rolled his eyes and said, "That's what I think too. We have been the boss for so many years, how can we let a youngster ride on our heads and shit on us? If we fight him, whoever dies will disappear from Shanghai."

After hearing what the two said, Du Yuesheng nodded and said, "Okay, since both of you agree, then it's decided."

"Everyone go back and prepare, and then get ready to attack Longmen."

"Anyway, this time, it's a life-and-death battle for our three families. Whether we can continue to make a fortune in Shanghai in the future depends on this."

Several people nodded and then left.

……

In the following period of time, several parties in Shanghai were gearing up for action.

Be prepared for the trouble ahead.

Although it seems calm, the air is full of gunpowder.

Ye Yunfei was also asking Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang to vigorously develop Longmen's strength.

One is responsible for training and the other is responsible for recruiting.

The combination of the two is almost perfect.

In just over half a month, Longmen has undergone almost earth-shaking changes.

Although Ye Yunfei has not asked yet, he can feel that Longmen is different now than before.

Under the dual management of Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li, Longmen has made rapid progress.

That day, Ye Yunfei was smoking in Lido when Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li walked in.

"Brother Fei."

Both of them spoke.

Ye Yunfei saw the two and said, "You two came at the right time. I was just looking for you."

Ding Li said: "Brother Fei, Brother Qiang and I also have something to report to you, so we are here."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "Let's go in and talk."

After saying that, he took the two of them to the office.

He handed each of them a cigarette, lit it, and said, "Tell me, what's the matter."
