Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Ye Yunfei probably knew something about Ding Li's military management. He mainly relied on violence, or in other words, mainly on beatings.

Anyone who is disobedient will be beaten until he becomes obedient.

Ding Li's method is indeed useful, especially for dealing with some soldiers who are difficult to manage. Managing them in a strict manner so that they dare not act recklessly is also a method.

However, you definitely can't do this to everyone.

Because people have different personalities, some people can indeed be made to surrender by beating and scolding.

But for some people, the more you beat and scold them, the more they may choose to surrender on the surface, but deep down in their hearts, they hate you to the core.

If they get the chance in the future, they will most likely rebel directly and even take your life.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the fierce general Zhang Fei liked to beat and scold his soldiers, and was eventually killed by two of his own men.

So, you can beat and scold, but not too much.

If it's too much, something bad will definitely happen.

Ding Li needs to be given some advice, otherwise, if something happens in the future, Ding Li probably won’t even know what happened.

After listening to Ye Yunfei, Ding Li nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Fei. I will be a little more polite to them in the future and give them more rewards, or give them some money, so that they will accept management wholeheartedly."

"That should be fine."

Ye Yunfei said: "It's up to you to decide the specific situation. Anyway, don't overdo anything."

Ding Li said: "I understand. I will pay attention to it."

After chatting for a few minutes, Ye Yunfei said, "By the way, didn't Wen Qiang run a military school in Jiangnan and Jiangbei before? How is the current situation of that military school?"

Previously, in order to train grassroots officers, Ye Yunfei asked Xu Wenqiang to establish a Longmen Military Academy in the south and north of the Yangtze River.

The Longmen Military Academy invited instructors from Germany to provide special training.

It is under full military management, and what they want to train are the most basic officers.

This military academy has been in operation for several months. I wonder what the current situation is.

Ding Li said: "Brother Qiang has always been in charge of Longmen Military Academy's affairs. I don't know much."

"I just heard that after Brother Qiang went abroad to study, the entire school is now managed by a vice-president under him and foreign military officers."

"Because the military academy is managed in a completely military manner, outsiders can't get in, and insiders can't get out. Only some of Longmen's top leaders can get in."

"So, I don't know how the training is going."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "Okay, then it should be normal training. Let's talk about it after Wen Qiang comes back."

"Ah."

Ding Li nodded.

After chatting for a few minutes, the two left the meeting room.

Ding Li said that he had not been to Shanghai for a long time. This time he wanted to have a good time in Shanghai and look for his memories of the past.

Ye Yunfei was too lazy to care about him and let him go and play.

He continued to check the information of the eight southeastern provinces now managed by Longmen.

Because Longmen now controls a total of eight provinces, countless things are brought to him every day for him to deal with.

Of course, some small matters can be handled by the people below, but some big matters need to be sent to him for resolution.

Originally, Xu Wenqiang helped him deal with things, but after Xu Wenqiang left to study outside, now almost all major issues have to be dealt with by him alone.

Even if there are only one or two major events in each province every day, there will be nearly twenty events in the eight provinces combined.

This is a huge and extremely tedious task, but it must be addressed seriously.

So, now he is still very busy every day.

It is estimated that he will only be able to have some free time when Xu Wenqiang comes back.

Of course, this is also the reason why he established the Eight Great Halls of Longmen.

Now the eight major gangs have been formed. We just need to wait for Liu Zhengfeng to finish training the seven people and then let a few of them manage the eight provinces. There shouldn't be any big problems.

Now he can only continue to be busy.

……

In the next week, the most important thing for Longmen is for Liu Zhengfeng to train the seven hall masters.

Ye Yunfei would go over from time to time to check on the results of the training, almost once or twice a day.

Originally, he thought that it would be very difficult to get these seven rough guys to learn.

Even if Liu Zhengfeng taught very seriously, those seven people probably wouldn't learn much.

However, after Ye Yunfei observed, he found that these seven people had achieved good results in their studies.

And every time he went there, the seven of them listened to Liu Zhengfeng's lectures very seriously.

I was also taking notes, recording some important things.

Perhaps the seven of them now know that they are now high-ranking officials and the heads of a province.

They have responsibilities and obligations and must learn something in order to manage their provinces well.

Only in this way can we serve Longmen better and make Longmen stronger.

These seven people, as old people who have always followed Ye Yunfei, are also aware of their current responsibilities.

Therefore, they will study more seriously.

Although they may not learn a lot, at least they will not make big mistakes.

Seven days passed by in a flash.

Liu Zhengfeng's lecture also ended.

Ye Yunfei called eight people into Lido.

Looking at the eight people in front of him, Ye Yunfei said: "Brothers, you have worked hard these past few days. I know that asking you to study is harder than fighting on the battlefield."

"But there is no other way. This is the way things are now. If you don't study, there is no way out. You are all the core figures of Longmen and the managers of Longmen. If you don't have management skills, then Longmen will become a mess."

"Now I let you manage a province. The whole province is your territory. If you can't do it, then this province will be ruined."

“So, I hope you can understand.”

Ye Yunfei's words were very polite.

These people are both his subordinates and his brothers, so they should be scolded and talked to.

They have been doing really well these days.

Still needs some comfort.

Chang Gui said: "Brother Fei, we all know that you let us study for our own good. We were the first to follow you and we know what to do."

"As long as we can contribute to Longmen and help Longmen develop, we will do our best to do it, whether it is studying or fighting."

After Chang Gui finished speaking, A Tai also said: "Not bad, in fact, learning is not that boring. I feel that the study these days is really interesting. The lectures by Liu Zhengfeng are very interesting, and we have learned a lot..."
