Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

I am afraid that in the entire Republic of China, only a few warlords can possess this kind of all-round top-notch weapons and equipment for sea, land and air.

So, now everything is ready, all we have to do is take action in three days.

Ye Yunfei gave Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li three days to prepare, so that they could adjust the entire Longmen to the best condition within these three days.

Then have a decisive battle with Lu Yongxiang.

After saying that, Ye Yunfei returned to Lido to rest.

This battle with Lu Yongxiang will definitely be a very brutal one, and he also needs to adjust his condition to face this battle well.

……

At the same time, in Shanghai, inside Lu Yongxiang's mansion.

Lu Yongxiang was also pacing back and forth in the villa, with an anxious look on his face.

At this time, a man in military uniform walked in and said, "General, I have checked it out. Lungmen is indeed recruiting soldiers recently. It is said that they can gather thousands of people every day. Now the number of people in Lungmen is already very large."

"Moreover, Longmen seems to have taken some action recently. Ye Yunfei asked everyone in Longmen to hurry up and train. It looks like they are going to fight a war."

Hearing this, Lu Yongxiang frowned and said, "I've known for a long time that Ye Yunfei would not behave himself. Ever since King Nie died, I had a vague feeling that he would attack me, and now it's true."

"This guy is recruiting so many soldiers and horses, it's definitely to deal with me, but I don't understand where he gets the money to recruit soldiers and horses. As far as I know, his Longmen was already penniless before, and he didn't even have money to feed his disciples. How can he have money to recruit people now?"

The subordinate said: "According to the information sent by our personnel inside Longmen, it was Feng Jingyao who gave Ye Yunfei nearly 10 million yuan."

"Ye Yunfei is using this 10 million dollars to recruit soldiers and expand his strength."

Lu Yongxiang immediately became furious and said, "Feng Jingyao, that old dog, was so stingy when I asked him for money that he couldn't even give me a dime."

"Now he is giving Ye Yunfei 10 million dollars for nothing. I will kill him sooner or later."

The subordinate said, "General, why don't we kill Feng Jingyao first? Feng Jingyao poses no threat anyway, so killing him is a piece of cake."

Lu Yongxiang waved his hand and said, "Feng Jingyao is just a minor character. Killing him now will not make any difference. The key still has to be Ye Yunfei."

"As long as Ye Yunfei is not dead, we will never have peace in Shanghai. Only by killing him can I feel at ease."

The subordinate said: "It's just that Ye Yunfei has a lot of people at his disposal now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with him."

"I heard that the number of his Longmen troops has exceeded our army."

Lu Yongxiang's face was gloomy. He lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Where is my guest? Has he arrived?"

The subordinate said, "Li Chong, the governor of Jiangnan, and Zhao Mingfei, the governor of Jiangbei, are on their way to Shanghai."

"According to the schedule, the two of them should be here this afternoon."

"Great."

Hearing this, Lu Yongxiang said excitedly: "I will feel relieved once they arrive. As long as they can come, Ye Yunfei will not be a problem. The whole of Shanghai will be mine."

There are also close relationships between the warlords.

Moreover, many warlords are divided into factions. As long as they are from the same faction, they will basically help each other if they encounter problems.

Lu Yongxiang belonged to the Anhui warlord faction, and other Anhui warlords included Li Chong, the governor of Jiangnan, and Zhao Mingfei, the governor of Jiangbei.

These two people belong to the same faction as him, and both of them have a good relationship with him.

Therefore, when Lu Yongxiang learned that Ye Yunfei was expanding his power, he secretly contacted Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei.

Let them secretly dispatch troops to help.

Moreover, these two people also brought him secret weapons.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Yongxiang has the confidence to confront Ye Yunfei head-on.

"Let's go. I'll go to the train station in person to pick up my two friends."

Lu Yongxiang said.

To show his sincerity, he planned to go to the train station to greet them in person.

……

In the afternoon, all the train stations in Shanghai were heavily blocked.

Surrounded by heavy troops, two men in military uniforms walked down from the train station.

These two people were Li Chong, the governor of Jiangnan, and Zhao Mingfei, the governor of Jiangbei.

These two warlords were considered to be the top two figures among all the warlords in the entire Republic of China.

Both of them have considerable power. Although they are not the top warlords, they are definitely not weak.

As soon as the two got out of the car, Lu Yongxiang immediately went to meet them.

"Two brothers, you are finally here. Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Yongxiang spoke, and he was also very enthusiastic when facing a warlord of the same level as him.

The key is that these two people are here to help, so his attitude cannot be bad.

Besides, he already had a good relationship with these two people, so he naturally had to be polite.

Li Chong said: "Brother Lu, you are too polite. The three of us are from the same class, and now we are all governors in charge of a province. If you are in trouble, I have to help you."

Zhao Mingfei also said: "That's right, Brother Lu, what is our relationship, why should we be so polite."

"As soon as we heard that you were in trouble, we rushed over immediately. No matter what, we can't just ignore you if you get into trouble."

Lu Yongxiang looked at the two men gratefully and said, "Thank you so much, my two good brothers. Let's go. I have booked a banquet at Hongbin Restaurant to welcome you first, and then we can discuss things properly."

"it is good."

The two nodded.

Afterwards, Lu Yongxiang brought Zhao Mingfei and Li Chong to Hongbin Building.

After eating and drinking, Li Chong said, "Brother Lu, I heard that you asked us to come here to help you deal with a man named Ye Yunfei."

Lu Yongxiang said: "Yes, this Ye Yunfei is the leader of Longmen, and Longmen is the largest gang in Shanghai. Now he is competing with me for control of Shanghai. The two sides are expected to have a big battle, so I called you here."

Li Chong said: "Brother Lu, is it necessary for the three of us to take action against a gang member?"

"We can easily deal with the rubbish in the gang. I think you can handle it by yourself. Why bother asking us two families? Isn't that like using a butcher knife to kill a nut?"

Zhao Mingfei also nodded in agreement.

To deal with a gang member, they have to get the three of them to work together, which is really a waste of time and energy.

Lu Yongxiang said: "You two brothers don't know that this Longmen is not an ordinary gang. Its power is even stronger than some small warlords."

"As far as I know, there are now more than 100,000 people in Longmen, and their equipment is not bad, with artillery, mortars, pistols, grenades, etc."

"It's almost as good as the regular army, so that's why I asked you two to come."

Hundreds of thousands of people.

They were both shocked when they heard what Lu Yongxiang said.
