Chapter 362 Disintegration
Inside Bole Hotel
Lin Hongfei had just finished meeting several core members of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.
The upper-class businessmen's sense of smell is very sensitive, and their movements are quite fast. When they sensed He Fenglin's failure, they immediately acted.
When He Fenglin served as an envoy in the Shanghai stock market before, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Chamber of Commerce gave He Fenglin the shares of many large factories and enterprises in exchange for He Fenglin's protection.
Now that He Fenglin has fled, naturally he can no longer keep these shares and dividends.
Therefore, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Chamber of Commerce recommended a few leading figures, and they brought a whole suitcase of stock documents to the Bole Hotel and handed them over to Lin Hongfei.
That's the protection fee.
Seeing that they were so proactive, Lin Hongfei naturally wouldn't embarrass them. After guaranteeing that the troops would not disturb the business circles in the Shanghai stock market, several businessmen also left contentedly.
Just as Lin Hongfei was about to meet Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and others who had been waiting for a long time, the adjutant Li Kui walked in quickly, holding the battle report just received in his hand.
"Marshal, Commander Fu Tao called. The Anhui Army's naval formation stationed in Shanghai has been repulsed by our Marine Police Corps."
"The two gunboats of our army were slightly injured, which did not affect the battle."
"In addition, the Marine Corps successfully attacked the dock and captured the cruiser [Haichou] of the Anhui Army Fleet."
"Captain Fu asked you how to deal with it?"
Lin Hongfei thought for a while and said, "Let the people go, but the boat will stay."
"Tell the navy that you can either redeem it with money, or I will seize the ship, and it will be considered a punishment for their navy to fight against me."
"How to choose depends on their navy!"
"Yes!"
Li Kui nodded, took out another battle report and said:
"Commander Guo Lang called. The troops have besieged Wusong Fortress, cutting off the communication between the fortress and the outside world, as well as food and grass routes."
"The defenders of the fortress proposed to our side, demanding a surrender fee of 10 oceans, otherwise they will stick to it."
Wusong Fortress, located near the most prosperous Wusong Waterway in Shanghai, was a key stronghold for defending the mouth of Shanghai during the war.
Of course, the enemy can be guarded against in times of war, and the lifeline of Wusong Waterway, the traffic lifeline, can naturally be blocked in times of peace.
In other words, this place can completely become an armed toll booth.
Therefore, Lin Hongfei would not let this place go. As soon as the troops entered the Shanghai Stock Exchange area, he sent Guo Lang to personally lead the team to surround the fortress.
But the key to this place is the key, but the defenders inside are somewhat unable to see the situation clearly.
Collecting money and surrendering is a relatively common operation in the war of the Republic of China.
But since it is a surrender of money, it is tantamount to negotiating business and doing business. You can ask for prices, but you can't be too exaggerated!
At this time, there were still more than a thousand people in the Wusong Fortress. Relying on the fortifications of the fortress, they could indeed hold off the Shanling Army for a while.
And if the Shanling Army wants to take it, it will naturally lose some manpower.
It is acceptable for Lin Hongfei to spend more money and reduce the loss of a few brothers.
But the problem is, the asking price is too high!
One hundred thousand oceans!
What are you thinking about!
Are you worth that price!
Lin Hongfei snorted coldly: "10, fortunately they can open their mouths!"
"You tell them, I will pay 3 oceans, and there is no more. If you want to surrender, oceans will be delivered immediately."
"If you don't agree, let Guo Lang continue to surround them and starve these bastards to death!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Hongfei looked at Li Kui again: "Is there anything else important?"
Li Kui flipped through the remaining military newspapers in his hand: "Basically, they are all military newspapers where the troops reported their victories."
"Indeed, there is a military report from the checkpoint in the suburbs of Shanghai. They say that Ma Lianjia sent several small groups of troops to detour to march toward Shanghai."
"Ask if you want to send troops to suppress them?"
Lin Hongfei waved his hand and said, "No need, let them in, our team has already occupied several key areas of the Shanghai stock market."
"The rest of the places are all slums and so on. There's not much oil and water, so let's shut Ma Lianjia's mouth first."
"Don't let this old boy say that I monopolize the Shanghai stock market, eat meat myself, and don't leave soup for him."
"After I have dealt with the matter at hand, I will find a way to squeeze Ma Lianjia out of the Shanghai stock market."
After dealing with the military newspaper on hand, Lin Hongfei let Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and others enter the house.
As soon as they entered the door, Du Yuesheng and the others were smiling all over their faces, complimenting Lin Hongfei non-stop.
Lin Hongfei got tired of hearing such compliments recently, so he said directly:
"Boss Du, stop talking in circles, just speak up if you have something to say!"
"I like to go straight to the point and say what I have!"
Du Yuesheng quickly laughed and said, "Actually, I don't have much to say, I just came to congratulate Marshal Lin on entering the Shanghai Stock Exchange."
"By the way, it's a little bit of kindness, and I hope the commander-in-chief can accept it!"
With that said, several disciples of the Qing Gang brought up the presents one by one.
The gift is very generous, it seems that Du Yuesheng really put his heart into it.
Immediately afterwards, Du Yuesheng brought the topic to the information network of the Green Gang:
"Marshal, it's not that Yuesheng is boasting about going to Haikou. If it comes to making inquiries in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, our Green Gang is definitely the number one."
"If you want to come to the Marshal, you also know that the youths of the Qing Gang are all over the Shanghai stock market. If the Marshal wants to find out any news in the future, I, the whole Qing Gang, will do our best to assist the Marshal."
Lin Hongfei is very familiar with the influence of the Qing Gang in the Shanghai public. When he came to Shanghai for the first time, he asked the Qing Gang to help him find Li Dengdian, the son of his brother Li Jinlong who was hidden among the people.
Therefore, being able to gain the allegiance of the Qinggang is naturally very helpful for taking over the Shanghai stock market.
It was at this time that Lin Hongfei suddenly realized that he wanted to completely expel Ma Lianjia from the Shanghai stock market, and the Green Gang could help!
As for how to expel, Lin Hongfei really had a hard time thinking about it.
As the war in the Shanghai stock market draws to a close, news of success in the war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang continues to come.
Lu Yongxiang built a large number of fortifications in Zhejiang Province. At first, he blocked Qi Xieyuan out of Zhejiang Province.
The Guangdong Army in Guangdong and Guangxi is also preparing to march to Fujian Province to support Lu Yongxiang.
But at this time, military turmoil broke out in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Cantonese army who had originally gone north had to stay where they were to fight the rebellion.
Seeing this, the Zhijun stationed in Fujian Province immediately marched towards Zhejiang Province.
In this way, instead of waiting for support, Lu Yongxiang faced the situation of being flanked by the direct army on both sides.
And the Feng army far in the north is also in a stalemate with the Zhi army in the Zhili area, and it is impossible to go south in time.
Under such circumstances, even if Lu Yongxiang put all his family resources together, he could not turn the tide of the battle.
As a large number of officers of the Anhui Army chose to surrender to the Zhijun Army, Lu Yongxiang's situation was over, so he had to take a boat with his family to escape to Dongying overnight.
Since then, the last power of the Anhui faction in the country has disintegrated, and it has completely lost the opportunity to step onto the stage of power again.
