Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

This was the first time the two met, but there were already sparks in the air.

After looking for a while, Ye Yunfei spoke first, "You must be General Yan from Jin Province, I have heard of your great name for a long time."

Yan Laoxi said: "I have heard of Mr. Ye's name for a long time. You are doing very well in Shanghai. Even Wu Fatian, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Five Provinces Allied Forces, was defeated by you. Mr. Ye is so young, what a young talent."

Ye Yunfei sat on the stone bench and said, "General Yan, you know my situation, and I also know a little about you."

"Since we both know each other, there's no need to be polite and just get straight to the point."

"General Yan should know why I came to see you."

Yan Laoxi said: "I know, it's because of that batch of arms."

Ye Yunfei said, "Yes, my men were carrying a batch of arms, but they were robbed by General Yan on the way."

"More than 400 people from Longmen were killed by you, and my weapons were also looted by you. General Yan, I want to ask what happened."

"General Yan, did you deliberately rob Longmen's arms, or is this just a misunderstanding? Please explain clearly, General Yan."

Old Yan picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then said, "If I say it's a misunderstanding, will Mr. Ye believe it?"

Ye Yunfei said: "As long as General Yan says so, of course I believe it."

Yan Laoxi smiled and said, "I wanted to say that this was a misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it's not."

"I, Yan, have always been a person who speaks the truth. If I did it, then it is me. If it is not me, I will not admit it."

"It was indeed me who had people rob your Longmen of its weapons. There is nothing much to explain."

Ye Yunfei stared at Yan Laoxi and said, "General Yan, so you are deliberately making an enemy of Longmen, robbing our arms and killing our people."

"If I remember correctly, we in Longmen have never offended General Yan."

Yan Laoxi said: "I have no grudges or conflicts with you Longmen, but your Longmen people passed through my Jin Province, and they brought so much arms, it's hard for me not to be tempted."

"My army now has quite a few people, but they don't have weapons and are seriously short of ammunition. And you, Longmen, are passing through my territory with so much munitions. Aren't you deliberately throwing them into my mouth?"

"To be frank, I am not targeting you, Longmen, on purpose. If anyone else, any warlord, passes through Jin Province with this batch of arms, I will rob them. It's just that you happened to pass by this time."

After Yan Laoxi finished speaking, Ye Yunfei said coldly: "Well, now that things have happened, I won't say any more nonsense."

"You killed my people, stole my ammunition, and captured my brother. Tell me how you plan to deal with this."

"I came here this time, just want a solution from you."

Yan Laoxi said: "I was the one who stole your things, so you should tell me the solution. I want to hear it."

"How does Mr. Ye want me to solve it?"

Ye Yunfei said: "Okay, then I'll be frank. You just need to do three things, and forget about this matter."

"The first thing is to return all the arms you looted."

"The second thing is that you arrested my brother and released my brother Ding Li."

"Third, you killed more than 400 of our Longmen brothers. These 400 people must not die in vain. You must compensate them with 100,000 yuan each, for a total of 4 million yuan. I will give this 4 million yuan to their families as their resettlement allowance."

"As long as you do these three things, the matter will be over."

Ye Yunfei had already thought of all the possible situations on the way here.

If Yan Laoxi is willing to talk, then these are the three conditions.

As long as Yan Laoxi meets these three conditions, this matter will be put to rest for the time being.

Wait until Longmen develops well, and then deal with Yan Laoxi.

After all, Yan Laoxi's territory is too far away, and he doesn't want to run so far to start a war with Yan Laoxi for the time being.

The issue of Wu Fatian in the southeast has not been resolved yet.

These warlords have to be dealt with one by one.

Of course, if Yan Laoxi disagrees, then he will have to take action no matter how far away he is.

Anyway, this matter can't just be let go like this.

Either Yan Laoxi agrees to his three conditions, or he will destroy Yan Laoxi at all costs.

It all depends on what choice Mr. Yan makes.

Old Yan heard Ye Yunfei’s three conditions.

He said, "Mr. Ye, of the three conditions you mentioned, only one can be barely met by me. As for the other two, I am afraid I can't do anything about it."

Ye Yunfei said: "Who can do it?"

"Release your brother named Ding Li. I can release him. I can meet this condition."

"As for arms and compensation, I'm afraid that's not possible. Our Jin Province is a very poor province. We don't even have enough money to spend, so how can we have the money to pay compensation?"

"Besides, I have already distributed the weapons to my men for use, so I can't return them to you."

Yan Laoxi said lightly.

Ye Yunfei's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "So, General Yan is ready to go against my Longmen."

"Then let's prepare for war. If General Yan is unwilling to return the things, I will come and take them myself."

Old West Yan frowned and said, "Why, Mr. Ye wants to start a war with me, Yan? Isn't this a bit too casual? It's just some ammunition and three or four hundred people. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"

"If we go to war, the number of casualties may not be as simple as 300 or 400. It may be 3,000 or 4,000, or even 30,000 or 40,000. So, Mr. Ye needs to think carefully."

Ye Yunfei said coldly: "This is not a matter of arms, but a matter of dignity and face."

"You killed my people and stole my weapons. You are shitting on my head. I will never allow anyone to bully me."

"Whoever dares to provoke me, Longmen, I will tear him into pieces at all costs."

"Yan Laoxi, I'm here to talk to you this time, I've already given you enough face. If you want to have a good talk, then we can have a talk. If you don't want to have a good talk, then there's nothing to say. Go back and prepare for the battle."

"Not only will I get back the arms and the lives of my Longmen brothers, I will also make you disappear from the Republic of China."

Ye Yunfei spoke very impolitely.

Everything that needs to be said has been said. Since Yan Laoxi is shameless, there is no need to waste any more words.

Just kill him directly.

He was never afraid to go to war with anyone.

Yan Laoxi frowned.

He was somewhat surprised by Ye Yunfei's strong attitude.

He thought that Ye Yunfei was just a young man. Although he had made some fame in Shanghai, young people are still young people and he was still a little too immature.

Just deal with it casually and the matter will be over.
