Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

The two of them came to Shanghai with their troops and weapons, although nominally they were there to help Lu Yongxiang.

Lu Yongxiang is a friend of both of them, and now he has taken the initiative to call them and invite them, so they came to help.

But in fact, there was another big reason why the two came to help so eagerly, and that was that they were attracted by the precious land of Shanghai.

All warlords were tempted by Shanghai.

Shanghai was extremely rich. Occupying Shanghai meant occupying most of the economic resources of the Republic of China.

This is an irresistible temptation for any warlord.

In addition to Shanghai’s extremely important geographical location, there is no one who doesn’t want to go to Shanghai.

They had intended to enter Shanghai before, but there was no good opportunity.

And now, Lu Yongxiang actually took the initiative to invite them, so they naturally would not refuse.

As long as they deal with Longmen, they can stay in Shanghai, and by then, they will definitely have a share of Shanghai.

This is the plan of the two men.

Otherwise, who would go through so much effort to come all the way to help Lu Yongxiang deal with his enemies?

Although good relationships have an element of influence, they would never do this just based on good relationships.

For the warlords of the Republic of China, interests were always put first, no matter what.

"General, there is someone outside asking to see you."

At this time, a soldier came in and said.

Li Chong said: "Who?"

"It's Ye Yunfei from Longmen. He said he came to visit the two generals."

"What, Longmen Ye Yunfei."

When they heard the soldier say that Ye Yunfei had arrived, Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei immediately stood up.

The two men's expressions became extremely serious. They were thinking about how to deal with Ye Yunfei, and Ye Yunfei actually came here by himself.

Li Chong looked at Zhao Mingfei and said, "Brother Zhao, what do you think Ye Yunfei meant by coming to us this time? What does he want to do?"

Zhao Mingfei shook his head and said, "I don't know, but this person is too bold to dare to come to us and come to our territory."

"Besides, since he came to our house, he must have known about our coming to Shanghai. He might also know that we have teamed up with Lu Yongxiang to deal with him."

"I'm afraid this person has bad intentions."

Li Chong said coldly: "Even if he comes with bad intentions, this is our territory. How can he dare to attack us here?"

"He doesn't have the guts."

Zhao Mingfei said: "I have heard that Ye Yunfei is a martial arts master. Perhaps, he really has certain abilities."

Li Chong said: "No matter how good his martial arts skills are, he is still a human being. We have people and guns if we need them, so why should we be afraid of him?"

"Besides, now that he has come here on his own initiative, if we don't meet him, wouldn't it be spread out that everyone in Shanghai would think that we are afraid of him?"

"We still have to make it in Shanghai in the future, so we can't afford to lose face like this."

Zhao Mingfei nodded in agreement: "You are right, that is indeed the case. Then let's go meet him and see what he wants to do."

"If he makes any unusual movement, just shoot him to death."

"Ah."

The two of them discussed it and then went to the door together to welcome Ye Yunfei.

Ye Yunfei was waiting at the entrance of Jinjiang Restaurant. After a while, Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei came out.

Both of them were wearing military uniforms and had extraordinary aura, so even though Ye Yunfei had never seen them before, he recognized them at a glance.

"Longmen Ye Yunfei came to visit Generals Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei. I guess they are General Li and General Zhao."

Ye Yunfei said.

Li Chong said: "Mr. Ye, I have long heard of your great name. I am Li Chong, and the person next to me is General Zhao Mingfei."

"I wonder what business Mr. Ye has come here for this time."

Ye Yunfei said: "I came here to chat with you two, of course. You two don't plan to invite me in, do you?"

Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei looked at each other, and then Li Chong said, "Mr. Ye, please come in."

Ye Yunfei entered the restaurant. In a reception room, Zhao Mingfei said, "Mr. Ye, let's not beat around the bush. You came to us on your own initiative this time. I think you have something to say."

"If you have anything to say, please tell us directly. We are all ears."

Ye Yunfei said, "You two are right in your guess. I came to you for something. I heard that it was Lu Yongxiang who asked you two to come to Shanghai. Moreover, you two wanted to help Lu Yongxiang deal with Longmen. Is that right?"

Li Chong frowned and asked, "Where did you hear this news, Mr. Ye?"

Ye Yunfei said: "It doesn't matter where the news came from. What matters is the accuracy of the news."

"I came here today just to verify whether you two are here to help Lu Yongxiang deal with me."

Li Chong did not hide it and said directly: "Yes, we are friends with Lu Yongxiang. He called us and asked us to come over to help, so I came."

"Any questions."

Ye Yunfei drank a sip of tea, looked at each other for a few times, and then said: "You two should know that the grudge between me and Lu Yongxiang is an internal matter of Shanghai Beach. We don't want outsiders to interfere in our affairs."

"You two have traveled thousands of miles from Jiangnan to Shanghai to deal with me. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"I have no grudges against you two in the past or in the present. Is it appropriate for you to help Lu Yongxiang deal with me?"

Li Chong said coldly: "There is no such thing as appropriate or inappropriate, only should or should not be done. Lu Yongxiang is our friend, and it is natural for us to help him."

"Besides, it seems that it is not your turn to manage what the two of us do."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "Okay, since that's what you said, I won't say any more nonsense."

"Since you want to deal with me, let me make it clear. I now have an army of 200,000. It will be no problem for me to destroy Lu Yongxiang."

"If you two insist on helping Lu Yongxiang deal with me, then after I deal with Lu Yongxiang, I will eliminate you two as well."

"Not only will we eliminate you in Shanghai, but we will also uproot your old nests, south and north of the Yangtze River, and make you completely disappear from the Republic of China."

"I, Ye Yunfei, always keep my word, and I also have the ability to do so."

Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Li Chong said with an ugly face: "You are threatening us."

Ye Yunfei said calmly: "It's just a threat. I tell you frankly that I don't care about Lu Yongxiang's 100,000 troops at all."

"Even if the three of you are combined, it would be a piece of cake for me, Longmen."

"The combined forces of the three of you only number about 200,000, not much more than mine."

"It's more than enough for me to deal with the three of you. If you insist on following Lu Yongxiang, just wait for me to collect your bodies."
