Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

After giving instructions to Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang, the two of them left.

Ye Yunfei lit a cigarette and stared at the Huangpu River outside the window in deep thought.

Originally, he thought that if Lu Yongxiang transferred his troops to Shanghai, he would fight him to the death.

Either Lu Yongxiang killed him, or he killed Lu Yongxiang.

Whoever wins in the end will own Shanghai.

But now, Zhang Hanqing intervened and temporarily prevented Lu Yongxiang from taking action against him. In this case, he might as well use this period of time to madly develop Longmen.

Although Longmen is now well-equipped, it still has fewer people than Lu Yongxiang.

If there is time for development, that would be best.

We will use this period of time to continue to develop and recruit people to enhance Longmen’s strength.

At that time, Lu Yongxiang will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and he and his troops will completely disappear from Shanghai.

……

In the following time, Shanghai became quiet.

Some upper-class figures in Shanghai thought that a major war was about to begin.

Because they all knew about the grudge between Lu Yongxiang and Ye Yunfei.

Moreover, Lu Yongxiang transferred a large number of troops from other places, preparing to attack Ye Yunfei's Longmen.

Longmen is also preparing.

The two sides were on the verge of a decisive battle, seemingly ready for one at any time.

However, things have calmed down recently.

Some ordinary people may not know the situation, why Longmen and Lu Yongxiang suddenly became calm.

However, some people of higher status knew it because of Zhang Hanqing.

Zhang Hanqing mediated and the two sides temporarily ceased fighting.

Of course, they only know a little bit.

It is not clear that Zhang Hanqing has completely stood on Ye Yunfei's side at this time.

Only after Lu Yongxiang was warned did he dare not take action.

These things are actually not trivial, because whoever Shanghai falls into finally will have a significant impact on these high-level officials.

They have to prepare in advance and see where to bet.

In this way, if the two sides fight in the future and one side is defeated, the other side will completely control Shanghai, and they will be able to make a fortune in Shanghai better.

Nowadays, Shanghai is basically a battle between two dragons.

On one side is the warlord Lu Yongxiang, and on the other side is Longmen Ye Yunfei.

Only these two parties are qualified to compete for the ownership of Shanghai.

As for the three major gangs before, they had long since disappeared.

Among the three major gangs, Huang Jinrong's Rongshe was destroyed by Ye Yunfei, and Du Yuesheng's Hengshe chose to join Ye Yunfei's Longmen.

Only the last one, although Zhang Xiaolin's Qing Gang still exists, a Qing Gang is nothing compared to the two top forces of Ye Yunfei and Lu Yongxiang.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaolin of the Qing Gang showed signs of joining Lu Yongxiang and had almost lost his ability to be independent.

So, he can't even get a number.

In Shanghai now, there are only Lu Yongxiang and Ye Yunfei.

In the end, Shanghai will definitely belong to these two people.

Therefore, everyone is considering which side to bet on.

……

A few days later, Ye Yunfei was dealing with Longmen's affairs when a phone call came in.

"Hello. Who is this."

Ye Yunfei said.

"Brother Ye, it's me, Zhang Hanqing."

A familiar voice came from the phone.

"Young Marshal, what's wrong? You called me. Is there something wrong?"

Ye Yunfei asked curiously. He didn't expect Zhang Hanqing to call him.

Zhang Hanqing said, "It's like this. Something happened in the Northeast, and I'm going back. So I didn't come here to say goodbye to you. I just called you to let you know, and then I'm leaving."

Hearing this, Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Are we leaving today?"

Zhang Hanqing nodded: "Yes, let's go now."

Ye Yunfei said: "Then I'll come to the train station to see you off."

Zhang Hanqing smiled and said, "No need. Your Longmen has a lot of things to do right now, so you don't have to send me off. We will meet again in the future."

"If you have time in the future, you can come to Northeast China to play, and I will treat you then."

Ye Yunfei said: "No problem, I will definitely visit the Northeast when I have time."

“I’m really looking forward to that place.”

Zhang Hanqing said: "Then I will be in the Northeast, waiting for your arrival. Goodbye."

After saying that, Zhang Hanqing hung up the phone.

Ye Yunfei sat in the chair and was silent for a while.

To be honest, he had a good feeling towards this young commander from Northeast China.

We can talk about everything, whether it's about how he behaves or his personality.

All in all, the people are okay.

Moreover, now his Longmen has also cooperated with the Northeast Army, so there will definitely be opportunities for them to meet again in the future.

All in all, everything is fine.

However, after Zhang Hanqing left Shanghai, that old man Lu Yongxiang would definitely start moving again.

It depends on when.

Ye Yunfei was not in a hurry. He continued to develop Longmen's power and kept a close eye on the situation on Lu Yongxiang's side.

If Lu Yongxiang makes any unusual move, we will confront him directly.

Anyway, he has a strong army now and is not afraid of Lu Yongxiang.

If Lu Yongxiang does not take any action, then continue to expand your influence, and once you are confident enough, take action against Lu Yongxiang.

While he was thinking, Ding Li came in and said, "Brother Fei, something happened at Longhai Wharf, you may need to go over there."

Ding Li looked very solemn, and Ye Yunfei looked at Ding Li with some surprise.

In recent times, Ding Li's personality has become much more stable and it is rare to see him showing mood swings.

And now, Ding Li looked very solemn, as if something big was going to happen.

Ye Yunfei asked: "What happened to Longmen Wharf?"

Ding Li said: "More than ten large ships have arrived at Longmen Wharf. These large ships are all carrying a lot of goods. They want to land at our wharf."

Ye Yunfei said: "Just let them pay the money and go ashore. Isn't that what our dock does?"

"As long as we pay them, we will let them land no matter how much cargo they have. Besides, the more cargo they have, the more money we will make."

Ding Li said: "I thought so too, but the brothers checked and found that the goods this time are a little different."

"The brothers don't know whether to let them go ashore, so they come to report to you."

Ye Yunfei frowned and said, "What goods?"

"It's opium."

Ding Li said.

"Opium."

When Ye Yunfei heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He stood up and asked, "Whose goods are these?"

Ding Li said: "It's from the Tianlong Society."

"Tianlong Society."

Hearing these three words, Ye Yunfei's face suddenly turned gloomy and he said, "It's the devil's stuff."

Ding Li nodded and said, "Yes, it's the Japanese's stuff."

"Brother Fei, should we let them land this batch of goods? More than ten large ships of the Japanese are still parked at our dock."

Ye Yunfei said coldly: "Are there more than ten ships, all of them opium?"

"All of them. Twelve large ships full of opium."

Ding Li said.
