Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Zhang Hanqing and Ye Yunfei have now become his targets.

Sooner or later he would kill these two men and take over all their territories.

If he could seize the territories of these two people, then he would most likely become the number one warlord in the entire Republic of China.

Because the territory occupied by Ye Yunfei and Zhang Hanqing is very large.

One occupied the three northeastern provinces, and the other occupied Shanghai and the south and north of the Yangtze River.

The two men each occupied a very vast territory. If he occupied the territories of these two, he would definitely become the number one warlord in the Republic of China.

Of course, he also knew that it would be very difficult to complete this plan.

You have to take it step by step and don't be in a hurry.

Sooner or later, he will do these things.

……

Ye Yunfei and Zhang Hanqing returned to Shanghai.

Zhang Hanqing said, "Brother Ye, I'm really sorry. I originally wanted to mediate the relationship between you and Wu Fatian, but I didn't expect that things would turn out like this. Not only did your relationship not get better, but it got even worse."

"Also, I didn't expect Wu Fatian to ask for Jiangnan and Jiangbei in front of you. If I knew he wanted to take Jiangnan and Jiangbei back, I wouldn't have taken you to see him."

"This matter is indeed my fault. I should have understood the situation in advance."

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "It's okay. You are just being kind and want to mediate our relationship. This matter has nothing to do with you."

"In fact, I know very well what Wu Fatian is thinking. Before I went there, I had already guessed countless possibilities. His asking me for Jiangnan and Jiangbei was also within my guess."

"Therefore, I am not surprised. Moreover, this matter may be a good thing for me. So, Han Qing, you don't have to blame yourself."

good thing.

Zhang Hanqing looked at Ye Yunfei curiously and said, "How did it become a good thing? I don't quite understand."

Ye Yunfei said: "It's very simple. Wu Fatian is interested in my Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and I am also interested in his five southeastern provinces."

"He wants to ask me for Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and I want to ask him for the five southeastern provinces."

"Now that we have completely torn our relationship apart, I will have a reason to seize the five provinces of Jiangnan from him in the future."

"Otherwise, I'd be worried about having no reason to rob the five southeastern provinces."

Zhang Hanqing looked at Ye Yunfei in shock and said, "Brother Ye, you also have ideas about the five southeastern provinces."

Ye Yunfei said: "Of course, since you choose to be a warlord, you must be the biggest warlord."

"Originally, I didn't have any big ideas about Jiangnan, Jiangbei, and the five southeastern provinces. However, Wu Fatian led his troops to surround Shanghai and almost brought me a catastrophic disaster. This made me change my previous thoughts."

"In this chaotic Republic of China, if I don't destroy others, others will come to destroy me. So, if that's the case, I might as well become the biggest warlord. When I become the biggest warlord, no one will dare to cause trouble to me anymore."

"So, I will take over Jiangnan and Jiangbei first, and then take over the five provinces in the southeast."

"After occupying the entire Southeast, who in the Republic of China dares to mess with me?"

After Ye Yunfei finished speaking, Zhang Hanqing looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Ye's goal is now the entire Southeast."

"Then I am a little curious and would like to ask, Brother Ye, after you occupy the entire Southeast, will there be any further actions?"

The next step Zhang Hanqing mentioned was naturally to advance from the southeast to the whole country.

Because generally speaking, the ultimate goal of any warlord who controls a certain area must be to unify the country.

Therefore, Ye Yunfei is now thinking about occupying the entire Southeast. So after he occupies the Southeast, will he also have the ambition to unify the country?

After hearing Zhang Hanqing's words, Ye Yunfei's eyes flickered and he said, "Hanqing, to be honest, I have never thought about what you just said."

"When Wu Fatian led his men to besiege Shanghai, I wanted to expand my power, make Longmen stronger, swallow Wu Fatian, and become the largest warlord in the southeast."

"This way, at least no one will dare to provoke me anymore. As for what will happen after occupying the southeast, I really haven't thought about it."

Zhang Hanqing said: "Perhaps, you should think about it now."

"After all, you already have the strength and qualifications now."

Ye Yunfei laughed and said, "Han Qing, are you kidding me? Now I only occupy Shanghai and three provinces, Jiangnan and Jiangbei. I haven't even occupied the southeast. Moreover, Wu Fatian is eyeing me covetously."

"In this situation, I can barely protect myself, let alone others."

"You actually made me want to unify the country. This is a bit of a joke."

Zhang Hanqing said: "I'm not joking. Everything happens step by step. You have occupied three provinces now, and there will be even larger territories in the future."

"It is not impossible to unify the country."

"There were so many warlords in the Republic of China, and they fought for decades, but no one was able to unify the country. Perhaps you have the ability to do so."

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "Really? But I feel like your Northeast Army is more capable of this."

"The Northeastern Army is one of the top three or even top two warlords in the Republic of China. In terms of strength, you are far superior to me."

"If you unify the country, you will have a better chance of success."

Zhang Hanqing said: "You think too highly of our Northeast Army. The Northeast Army has some strength, but it is still a long way from unifying the country."

"Besides, I don't have that kind of ambition. My biggest goal is to protect the Northeast that my father left to me. As for places outside the Northeast, I'm not particularly interested."

"So, I have never thought about unifying the country."

"In my opinion, you have more hope."

Ye Yunfei said: "You haven't thought about it, and neither have I, so let's not talk about it."

"We'll talk about the future later. Now just take care of your own little piece of land."

Zhang Hanqing smiled and said, "That's right. We can hardly protect ourselves right now, so talking about this kind of thing is indeed a fantasy."

"Let's go, let's go back first."

Afterwards, the two returned to Shanghai.

Before parting, Zhang Hanqing said, "Brother Ye, I have basically finished everything I have done in Shanghai this time. I plan to leave Shanghai in two days."

Ye Yunfei said, "Are you leaving in two days? That's too hasty. Stay a little longer. I'll take you to have some fun in Shanghai. There are still many fun places in Shanghai that you haven't been to yet."

Zhang Hanqing said, "I can't play anymore. I don't have time. There are many things waiting for me to deal with in the Northeast. I can't stay here forever."

"I've been out for quite a while this time. If I stay any longer, there might be trouble back home."
