Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

“So, I drove them all away.”

"As for the remaining 180,000 people, I am relatively familiar with them. They were basically recruited from poor areas, and many of them were forcibly captured by Wu Fatian to serve as soldiers. They have a shallow relationship with Wu Fatian, and they are also relatively pure."

"If they stay in Longmen and receive training, they can sincerely serve Longmen. I consider that Longmen is short of manpower right now, so I will keep these 180,000 people."

"Master, do you think this is okay?"

After Liu Zhengfeng finished his report, he looked at Ye Yunfei.

After all, this was the first thing he did in Longmen, so he was extremely cautious, fearing that something might go wrong.

This result is the best choice he has made so far.

I just don’t know whether Ye Yunfei is satisfied or not.

After listening to Liu Zhengfeng's report, Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, you did a good job."

"I originally thought that it would be great if 100,000 of these 300,000 people could stay in Longmen. I didn't expect that Mr. Liu would leave 180,000 people at once."

"This is great news. My Longmen now has 180,000 more people, and they are relatively loyal. This is a great thing."

"Mr. Liu has accomplished this and made a great contribution to our Longmen."

After hearing what Ye Yunfei said, Liu Zhengfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "This is not a great achievement. I just hope to recruit as many people as possible while ensuring safety."

"As long as the Sect Master is satisfied."

Ye Yunfei said: "Of course I am satisfied. I believe in Mr. Liu's ability. Since they are the people Mr. Liu left behind, they must be absolutely loyal and capable elites."

"Since they are the ones carefully selected by Mr. Liu, then let Mr. Liu lead the training of these 180,000 people. I hope Mr. Liu can train an iron army with absolute combat effectiveness for Longmen."

what.

Liu Zhengfeng looked at Ye Yunfei in shock.

Ye Yunfei actually asked him to lead and train these 180,000 people.

This is 180,000 people, a huge army.

Ye Yunfei actually trusted so many people to be entrusted to him.

He has just joined Longmen not long ago.

Even Xu Wenqiang looked at Ye Yunfei with some surprise.

After Liu Zhengfeng was shocked, he said, "Master, I'm afraid I can't take on this important task."

"As far as I know, the training of the army in Longmen has always been done by Ding Li. I think it is better to let Ding Li train these 180,000 people."

"He has training experience and training methods, but I am more engaged in staff work, so it may be difficult for me to train these 180,000 people."

"So, I suggest that we let Ding Li train these 180,000 people."

Although he knew that it was Ye Yunfei's trust in him that allowed him to train these people.

However, he cannot accept this task.

One hundred and eighty thousand people are enough to form a huge warlord. Ye Yunfei handed over so many people to him at one time, even if he had the ability to train many people.

However, there will inevitably be some people talking about it inside Longmen.

Because he had joined Longmen for too short a time, and most of the people in Longmen were old people who had followed Ye Yunfei.

Even many elderly people don’t have this opportunity. It is definitely inappropriate for Ye Yunfei to give this opportunity to him.

He didn't want some people in Longmen to criticize him because of this incident.

Therefore, it is best to give this task to Ding Li.

After hearing Liu Zhengfeng's words, Ye Yunfei also knew what he was thinking.

He thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "Well, since Mr. Liu said so, then let's do as you say."

"Leave these 180,000 men to Ding Li, and you will assist from the side. The two of you must train this army for me."

"I want him to become an iron army with extremely strong combat effectiveness and invincibility."

Liu Zhengfeng said: "No problem, I will definitely assist Mr. Ding Li well."

Ding Li also said: "Brother Fei, don't worry, I won't let you down."

Ye Yunfei nodded, he looked at Xu Wenqiang and said: "Wenqiang, you just said you have something to report, what is it?"

Xu Wenqiang said, "That's right, Brother Fei. Over the past few days, I have conducted a survey of all the counties and cities in the southeast, and conducted a detailed investigation of the economy, population, and development of all the counties and cities."

"Seventy percent of the counties and cities in the southeast have very good economic development, so we should be able to collect a lot of taxes."

"Another 20 percent of counties and cities are basically self-sufficient and do not need our intervention."

"The last 10 percent of counties and cities are relatively poor, and people still can't afford to eat, so they may need some support."

Ye Yunfei said: "You can handle these matters as you wish. Provide support where necessary and collect taxes where necessary. You don't need to report to me."

"You are an expert in this area. I'll leave everything to you."

Things like taxation, population and economy are extremely complicated. Apart from a period of time when Longmen was first established, he had never been in charge of these matters at other times.

Especially after Xu Wenqiang joined Longmen, he completely handed over these matters to Xu Wenqiang.

Xu Wenqiang also did a good job. Over the years, he handled the taxes and economic conditions in almost every place.

So, there is no need to worry.

"clear."

Xu Wenqiang nodded and said, "There is one more thing."

"After we conquered Southeast, there were still a few small warlords around Southeast, with about tens of thousands of people, who said they wanted to join us in Longmen."

"Should we recruit these people into Longmen?"

"These people were basically attached to Wu Fatian before. Now that Wu Fatian has been destroyed by us, they want to attach themselves to us."

Ye Yunfei asked: "Are these people reliable?"

Xu Wenqiang said: "It's not a matter of whether they are reliable or not. They are just small warlords who occupy small places and make a living. They have some people and a few guns, but they haven't formed a large scale yet. They need to rely on big warlords to survive."

Ye Yunfei said: "Tell them that there is no such thing as attachment. Either they join Longmen directly, or they hand over their territory and get out of here."

"Longmen doesn't need other warlords to rely on, just its own people who join Longmen."

To put it bluntly, these petty warlords are no different from bandits, and some of them are actually bandits.

Rob houses, get some money and guns, and become the king of the mountain.

There is nothing much to say to these people. Either they join Longmen or they reform themselves.

Either kill it directly without wasting time.

Xu Wenqiang said: "I understand, I will handle it..."
