Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

As soon as he got off the train station, Ding Li was shocked by the bustling scene before him.

The train station was surrounded by pedestrians, front, back, left and right. It was very crowded and lively.

Moreover, there are many shops selling things nearby, including food, drinks and daily necessities.

The entire train station is full of prosperity.

Ding Li was surprised and said, "Is this Fengtian in Northeast China? I used to think that Shanghai was prosperous enough, but Fengtian is no worse than Shanghai."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "Fengtian is indeed very lively, no worse than Shanghai."

This is true.

Because during the Republic of China period, the economy of the Northeast region could be said to be the strongest in the country.

Not only the economy, but also the military and political power of the Northeast far exceeds other places in the Republic of China.

Northeast China can be said to be a very developed place in the entire Republic of China, and even in the whole of Asia.

Although the Northeast declined later.

But at least so far, the strength of Northeast China is absolutely very strong.

It can be completely compared with Shanghai.

This was Ye Yunfei's first time in Fengtian, so he was a little surprised by the prosperous and lively scene in Fengtian.

After looking around, Ding Li said, "Brother Fei, should we go directly to the young commander now?"

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "Let's go. We are short on time. Otherwise, we can have some fun in Fengtian. Let's go find Zhang Hanqing first and finish our business first."

Ding Li nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Fei."

Ye Yunfei immediately called two rickshaws and headed to Zhang Hanqing's mansion.

As a top figure in Northeast China, Zhang Hanqing's mansion is also located in the core area of ​​Fengtian.

After arriving, Ye Yunfei saw that there were many soldiers standing near Zhang Hanqing's mansion. All of them were armed and looked very domineering.

Ye Yunfei walked to the front door and asked, "Excuse me, is the young commander here?"

The guard at the door asked, "Who are you and what do you want from the young commander?"

Ye Yunfei said: "I am the young marshal's friend, I came to discuss something with him, please inform him."

The guard said, "Friend, there are only a few people in the entire Republic of China who are qualified to be the young marshal's friend. What is your name and where are you from?"

The guard obviously didn't believe that the man in front of him could know the young marshal.

Ye Yunfei said: "I'm from Shanghai, my name is Ye Yunfei, you go tell the young marshal my name, he will know it naturally."

The guard looked at Ye Yunfei coldly for a few times, and finally said: "Okay, wait, I will report it."

Then he walked in.

Ding Li frowned and said, "This young marshal's guards seem to be very arrogant. They speak in a condescending manner, which makes people feel uncomfortable."

Ye Yunfei said: "Zhang Hanqing is an important figure in the entire Republic of China. His guards are naturally not ordinary people. As long as I can see Zhang Hanqing, nothing else matters."

Ding Li nodded.

After a while, a hearty voice was heard from inside.

"Brother Yunfei, I didn't expect it was really you. My subordinates just reported that someone named Ye Yunfei came to see me. I'm still shocked. Isn't Ye Yunfei in Shanghai? Why did he come to me?"

"I didn't expect it to be you when I came out."

As he spoke, Zhang Hanqing walked over and held Ye Yunfei's hand tightly.

Obviously, Zhang Hanqing was still very excited after seeing Ye Yunfei.

Ye Yunfei said: "Han Qing, I come here uninvited, I hope I don't disturb you."

Zhang Hanqing said, "What are you talking about? We are brothers. You came all the way from Shanghai to see me. I am so happy that I can't wait to disturb you."

"Come on, hurry in. You have come from afar and probably haven't eaten yet. I'll ask the servants to prepare the meal. Eat something first."

After saying that, Zhang Hanqing welcomed Ye Yunfei and Ding Li into the villa.

"I go."

After entering the villa, Ding Li screamed continuously.

Everywhere you look, the villa is extremely luxurious, with rosewood furniture, marble floors, and a variety of new electrical appliances.

Electric lights, record players, and radios, these electrical appliances that were very rare during the Republic of China period, were placed casually in Zhang Hanqing's home.

Moreover, the decoration inside the room is also quite luxurious.

Ding Li's eyes were almost popping out.

Ye Yunfei was also a little surprised.

He had been to Feng Jingyao's villa before and felt that it was quite luxurious, but compared with Zhang Hanqing's villa, the gap was quite large.

This Hanqing is really amazing.

After they sat down, the servants brought tea. Zhang Hanqingdao said, "Yunfei, Dingli, I have asked the kitchen to cook. It will be ready soon. You can have some tea first."

Ding Li chuckled and said, "I am indeed hungry. I have been sitting on the train for such a long time and have not had a good meal. Today I will try the food at the Marshal's house."

Zhang Hanqing smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely give you a good meal today. My chef's cooking skills are quite good."

"That's a good feeling."

Ding Li said with anticipation.

Zhang Hanqing looked at Ye Yunfei again and said, "Yunfei, we haven't seen each other for more than two months since we parted in Shanghai. I heard that you have done several big things in Shanghai recently. You have unified the three major gangs in Shanghai. Now Shanghai is basically under the control of your Longmen, right?"

Ye Yunfei said: "I didn't expect that the young marshal was still paying attention to the things happening in Shanghai while he was in Fengtian. I admire you."

Zhang Hanqing smiled and said, "Shanghai is an extremely important city in the Republic of China. Of course I have to pay attention to it. Besides, you and I have reached a cooperation agreement, so I have to understand your situation."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "The three major gangs in Shanghai have indeed been dealt with. However, Shanghai is no longer owned by Longmen. Lu Yongxiang is still there. In addition, the Tianlong Society from the island country has also come to Shanghai. The situation is still quite complicated."

Zhang Hanqing said: "This is normal. Shanghai is a place with an extremely important geographical location and is quite wealthy. Everyone pays attention to it."

"But now you are gradually taking control of Shanghai, which is also a good thing."

"I believe that with your strength, it won't be long before you can completely control the entire Shanghai."

Ye Yunfei said: "I'm afraid it's not that easy. No matter whether it's Lu Yongxiang or the Tianlong Society, they are not easy to mess with. I'm sure you know the situation of my Longmen."

"It is difficult to deal with them completely."

Zhang Hanqing nodded and said, "Indeed, if I'm not mistaken, your visit to Fengtian this time should also be related to this matter."

Ye Yunfei said: "Yes, it is indeed related to this. I came here specifically because I want the young marshal to help me with something."

Zhang Hanqing's eyes flickered slightly before he said, "Yun Fei, you don't want me to send troops to help you deal with Lu Yongxiang and the Tianlong Society, do you?"
