Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Tonight, the three of them had a completely open-hearted chat and drank like crazy.

No one has anything to hide.

The meal lasted until midnight, and we drank five or six bottles of wine.

They are all white wine.

The last three people were all drunk. They hadn't drunk like this for a long time.

It's been a long time since we had such an open hearted chat.

However, tonight's chat was really enjoyable and it brought them much closer to each other.

From ancient times to the present, many friends and brothers have gotten along well with each other in difficult times, fighting together, living and dying together, and staying together through life and death.

However, after gaining wealth and glory, everything changed.

Glory, wealth, or fortune, can change a person's character.

There are countless cases of brothers turning against each other for wealth and status.

Therefore, it is easy to share adversity, but it is difficult to share happiness.

This is almost a law of history.

However, this is not the case for Ye Yunfei, Ding Li, and Xu Wenqiang.

They can share hardships and happiness together.

From Zhabei District in Shanghai until now, the friendship between the three has never changed.

Although in recent times, due to the development of Longmen, the territory has become larger and larger, which makes the three of them often separated.

But the feelings between the three of them have never changed.

Not only now, but also in the future, their brotherhood will never change.

……

The next day, after sobering up, Xu Wenqiang boarded a ship to the West.

During these three months, he will do his best to learn the excellent management experience and methods of the West, as well as means of economic development.

Use all the good things to manage the Southeast.

Only in this way can the Southeast develop better and become more prosperous.

After Xu Wenqiang left, Ding Li continued to train his troops.

Things like military training need to be continuous. You can't train for a while and then not train for a while.

Therefore, Ding Li’s main task now is to continue training troops so that Longmen’s current army of nearly 600,000 will become more and more powerful.

It will be able to play a greater role on the battlefield in the future.

After Ding Li left, Ye Yunfei called Liu Zhengfeng over again.

Although Liu Zhengfeng was Wu Fatian's man before, and he had just joined Longmen not long ago.

However, from the transformation of those 180,000 people, Ye Yunfei had already seen that Liu Zhengfeng was a talent.

His ability is absolutely unique.

Longmen really needs such talents now.

Moreover, he now has some things that need Liu Zhengfeng to do.

After Liu Zhengfeng arrived at the hall, he said, "Master, you are looking for me."

Ye Yunfei said: "Mr. Liu is here, please sit down and talk."

Liu Zhengfeng said awkwardly: "Master, you should just call me Zhengfeng from now on. It feels a bit inappropriate to keep calling me Mr. Liu. I have now joined Longmen and am a member of Longmen. Master, just call me by my name. Don't be too polite."

Ye Yunfei kept calling him Mr. Liu, which made him feel a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Mr. Liu, this title is obviously polite and distant.

Now he is also a member of Longmen.

If Ye Yunfei kept calling him Mr. Liu, he would feel frightened.

In the entire Longmen, he was the only one whom Ye Yunfei called "Sir".

This is not a good thing.

Therefore, in order to get closer and to be able to survive better in Longmen in the future.

It is better to reduce this gap, so that he can get along more comfortably.

Hearing Liu Zhengfeng's words, Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll call you by your name."

"Zhengfeng, I asked you to come here today mainly because I want to discuss two things with you."

Liu Zhengfeng said, "Which two matters, Sect Master, please tell me."

Ye Yunfei said: "The first thing is about governing the southeast. As you know, Wen Qiang went abroad to study, and there are currently no particularly suitable management talents in Longmen."

"You have been staying in Southeast China and you know Southeast China very well, so during the period when Wen Qiang is away, you still have to keep an eye on the management of these provinces in Southeast China."

Liu Zhengfeng heard this and nodded, "I understand, Sect Master."

"In fact, there is nothing wrong with Southeast now. After more than half a month of Wen Qiang's governance of Southeast, the entire Southeast is under Longmen's control. Everything is running normally and there is basically nothing wrong."

"I'll just keep an eye on it, it won't be a big problem."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "That's what I mean. As long as nothing happens in the southeast during this period of time, it will be fine."

“Stability is the most important thing.”

Liu Zhengfeng nodded: "I understand. Then, Sect Master, what is the other thing?"

Ye Yunfei said: "Another thing is to recruit soldiers and buy horses."

"Although Longmen now has some troops, it is still not enough. The southeast is not only rich, but also has a large population. I want you to continue to recruit troops from the southeast."

"We will continue to expand the number of people for Longmen and try to recruit more people in a short period of time."

Ye Yunfei's eyes were firm.

Recruiting soldiers has always been the most important thing for him.

Recruiting soldiers is not only for self-protection, but also for obtaining arms and equipment.

In the system, he will provide equipment and ammunition only when there are enough people.

Under the current circumstances, arms and equipment are very important to him.

Only with enough people can the system continue to provide him with weapons and equipment.

Therefore, we have to continue recruiting soldiers and horses.

The last time the system gave him a reward was when the number of people reached 400,000.

Ye Yunfei guessed that the next time the system gave rewards, it might be 700,000 or 800,000.

And now there are 600,000 people in Longmen, so it’s actually not a lot.

If we recruit another 100,000 or 200,000 people, we can reach the target number.

During this period of time, recruit hundreds of thousands of people and see what the system will give him.

Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Liu Zhengfeng nodded and said, "The population in the southeast is relatively abundant, and there are many strong young people. Recruiting troops should not be a problem."

"I will start recruiting soldiers as soon as I get back."

"However, I have a question I would like to ask the Sect Master. I wonder if you can answer it."

Ye Yunfei said: "You ask."

Liu Zhengfeng stared at Ye Yunfei and said, "Master, your goal should not only be the southeast half of the world."

"You have recruited so many soldiers and horses. Do you have any ideas about the Central Plains?"

After Liu Zhengfeng asked, he looked at Ye Yunfei with some curiosity and seriousness...
