Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

The meaning of what Zhao Tiansheng said was very clear, which was to ask him to join the government.

He became a man of the government, and his army, also became the government's army.

This is what Zhao Tiansheng meant.

Zhao Tiansheng said: "It cannot be said to surrender, but cooperation. Your Longmen will cooperate with the Republic of China government. We will jointly promote the unification of the Republic of China."

"I know that Master Ye is also a patriotic man who wants to restore peace to the Republic of China. Now is the best opportunity."

"If Longmen can cooperate with the government, we can join forces to destroy other warlords. Then, the world will be stable and the Republic of China will be truly peaceful."

After listening to Zhao Tiansheng, Ye Yunfei took two puffs of his cigarette and looked at him and said, "Mr. Zhao is right. I, Ye Yunfei, am indeed a patriot."

"The Republic of China has been in chaos for so many years, and the people of the country have been living in poverty. What I am doing now is also to hope that the Republic of China can be peaceful and no longer be bullied by foreign countries."

"But, I'm afraid cooperating with you is not a good choice."

Hearing Ye Yunfei say this, Zhao Tiansheng frowned and said, "What does Patriarch Ye mean? We represent the government. Isn't it the best choice to cooperate with us?"

“Who else can Lord Ye cooperate with besides us?”

Ye Yunfei said: "I don't want to cooperate with anyone. Can't I make the Republic of China peaceful by myself?"

"Also, there is one more thing, Mr. Zhao. Please forgive me for being blunt. I'm afraid your conquest is not legal at all."

"Now any warlord can set up his own government. Your government is nominally a government, but in reality it was also established by a warlord. In terms of specific circumstances, it is no different from a warlord."

"Why should I join a warlord government?"

The government represented by Zhao Tiansheng was indeed established by warlords.

However, because it has some relationship with the founder of the Republic of China, and now has the strongest military strength.

Therefore, he became the government in name only.

But to put it bluntly, he is still a warlord.

There is absolutely no need for him to cooperate with such a warlord government.

Besides, he never showed any intention of cooperating.

Zhao Tiansheng frowned. He didn't expect Ye Yunfei to say this.

However, there is actually nothing wrong with what Ye Yunfei said.

Because the government behind him is indeed a warlord government.

Although there is a slight inheritance relationship, it is not close.

Moreover, many warlords in the Republic of China now have opinions about their government.

That’s why the Republic of China split up.

There is nothing wrong with what Ye Yunfei said.

Finally, Zhao Tiansheng said: "Whether it is a warlord government or an orthodox government, we are the only legitimate government in the Republic of China."

"We are very different from other warlords. Other warlords only want to establish their own territories, but our commander-in-chief wants to unify the Republic of China."

"Only by unification can there be peace and real benefits for the people. Lord Ye should admit this."

"We share the same philosophy as Lord Ye, so we want to cooperate with Lord Ye to jointly accomplish the great cause of unifying the Republic of China."

Ye Yunfei said calmly: "Mr. Zhao, there is no need to exaggerate. The reason why the person behind you wants to cooperate with me is nothing more than that he is impressed by the current strength of Longmen."

"Besides, if you can recruit me, it will be equivalent to controlling the eight provinces in the southeast, which will be of great benefit to you."

"But, for me, there is absolutely no need for me to cooperate with you."

"Although you have strong soldiers and horses, the territory you control now is only a small part of the Central Plains, not even as big as my territory."

"I want to unify the Republic of China, and I can do it on my own without cooperating with anyone else."

"And, forgive me for being blunt, I don't trust any warlord in the Republic of China now."

"In the final analysis, these warlords in the Republic of China only cared about satisfying their own interests and did not really think about the country or the ordinary people."

"So, I don't want to cooperate with this kind of person, you understand."

Zhao Tiansheng nodded and said, "I understand what Patriarch Ye means, but my commander is different from others."

"His goal is the same as Master Ye's. If there is a chance, Master Ye can meet with my commander. After meeting him, Master Ye will believe what I say."

Ye Yunfei said: "Let's talk about the meeting later. If there is a chance, we can meet."

"But forget about the cooperation. I have no intention of cooperating with any warlords right now."

“Now, I just want to continue to develop my gantry.”

Zhao Tiansheng stared at Ye Yunfei and said, "Master Ye, don't you want to listen to the conditions set by my commander?"

"If Lord Ye listens to the conditions offered by my commander, perhaps he will change his mind."

Ye Yunfei said: "Really? Then tell me, what conditions will your commander offer me?"

Zhao Tiansheng said: "If Mr. Ye can cooperate with my commander, then Master Ye can serve as the deputy commander of the navy, army and air force of the entire Republic of China and become the second most important person in the government after my commander."

"In addition, we can provide you with 20 million military expenditures every year, as well as a large number of military equipment."

“These are all things that can be discussed.”

Zhao Tiansheng told Ye Yunfei the conditions he offered.

These conditions are all very good, and can even be said to be the best.

He believed that Ye Yunfei would be moved.

When Ye Yunfei heard what Zhao Tiansheng said, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Deputy Commander of the National Navy, Army and Air Force, 20 million military budget a year, your commander is really generous."

"It seems that you have really spent a lot of money to recruit me."

Ye Yunfei said.

This position and this military expenditure are indeed not low. I am afraid that it would be difficult for anyone to refuse.

Zhao Tiansheng said: "This is just the sincerity of my commander. He sincerely hopes to cooperate with Master Ye."

"If Master Ye has any other requests, you can also raise them. We are all open to discussing them."

Ye Yunfei said: "Your commander is indeed very sincere, I can see it."

"However, I still have the same attitude as before. I don't want to cooperate with any warlord in the Republic of China."

"That includes your commander."

"So, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of your commander's sincerity."

Zhao Tiansheng frowned and said, "With such conditions, Sect Master Ye still doesn't agree? It seems that Sect Master Ye's appetite is really big."

"Excuse me, Master Ye, have you ever thought about becoming the master of the Republic of China..."
