The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Huang Jinrong would certainly make such a gesture:
The man in his early twenties in front of him had been the governor of Jilin for many years, commanding numerous powerful troops in Jilin and Inner Mongolia provinces.

Looking at this terrifying giant ship, not to mention the Beiyang warlords, even Britain and the United States would be afraid of it.

Moreover, seeing this army of thousands of people fully armed is enough to make people feel the most real fear in their hearts.

Surrender, it's normal.

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyelids and smiled faintly at his humble and submissive attitude.

He knew very well: even though the other party was a well-known figure in Shanghai... no matter how powerful he was, he was still a gangster, and to put it bluntly, he could not stand in the light.

Don't be fooled by the street literature that describes Huang, Du, Zhang and others as being so powerful.

But when facing warlords, let alone the local tyrants, even Lu Yongxiang's son could capture people in public and then take them back to give them a slap in the face.

Therefore, no matter whether it was Du Yuesheng before or him now, he acted so hypocritically just because he was eager to find a backer.

"Boss Huang, you're welcome."

Jiang Cheng was quite respectful to him, but Zhang Hanqing was a little disgusted: "Come on, aren't you still busy?"

After saying this, he gathered his cloak and walked away accompanied by the guards. Huang Lao Da and others were so scared that they dared not say a word: "Master Jiang, is this young commander not very satisfied?"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand: "Oh, that's not the case - it's probably because the sea is rough and the young commander is a little seasick."

"You have made a good arrangement... If it's like this, we can still cooperate in the future."

Having said that, he waved to him to indicate that they could leave, and he straightened his back and walked away.

At that time, Lu Yongxiang's son Lu Xiaojia had already sent his personal entourage to greet them, and a large number of convoys blocked the road in front of the port.

Jiang Cheng and Zhang Hanqing were in the same car. They had just left the dock and were heading for the foreign market when the other person spoke quietly, "Do you have any dealings with gangsters?"

He knew that although Zhang Hanqing was used to big scenes in places like Dongjing City, he had little contact with people in the underworld.

Especially these southern barbarians who spoke the warm Wu dialect were even less likable in his eyes.

"It was back then. It was my batch of equipment. They helped me a little."

Jiang Cheng did not hide anything from him, and said, "The gangsters are slick, just like rats in the dark alleys."

"But if these mice are used well, they can accomplish a lot of things."

Zhang Hanqing didn't respond, and instead said, "The Lu family is interesting. They invited our Fengtian Army to come and help, but they didn't even send anyone of note."

Jiang Cheng uttered a “hmm”.

He realized this as soon as he walked out of the dock: compared with the Green Gang's huge momentum, Lu Yongxiang only sent a few of his personal followers. Although there were many cars sent...the reception with such a configuration of personnel was definitely a neglect for them.

Judging from his status, Jiang Cheng was also a military commander appointed by the Beiyang government. Even if Lu Yongxiang could not come in person due to the intense fighting at the front, he should at least let his son Lu Xiaojia come to greet him in person.

"We went south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang without negotiating any terms with the Lu family. Moreover, all the designated territories belong to them. To put it bluntly, we came here with our own food and weapons to help."

Zhang Hanqing frowned and said, "Let me put it bluntly. The Fengtian Army is very righteous. The Lu family treated us so badly. I don't know what they are thinking."

I'm afraid they think that the Marshal sent two young boys to support the cause and just to do their job?

"Come on, don't think about it now. Go to bed early and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning." When the group arrived at the Peace Hotel where they were staying, Huang Jinrong, the flatterer, sent more than 20 beautiful dancers for the nobles to choose from.

Although Jiang Cheng was not uninterested in women, he immediately lost interest when he saw these women posing coquettishly, twisting their waists and throwing themselves into his arms.

Just as he was showing some disgust and preparing to chase them out, he suddenly saw that his men, and even the young marshal himself, were showing some signs of hesitation.

No wonder he is said to be a pervert. He really can't walk when he sees a woman.

"I say you guys should just stop at the right time,"

Jiang Cheng did not disturb everyone's interest. He said goodbye with a tired look and went back to his room to rest.

It is hard for people to resist such temptation in this prosperous place of fireworks... Jiang Cheng was concerned about the situation in Shanghai and wanted to do the serious things first.

The signalman was asked to contact Lu Yongxiang and then send a telegram back to Fengtian to inform him of the situation. Then there was a gentle knock on the door.

It was Jiang Dengxuan who came over.

"Super Six? Why didn't you go... dancing with Han Qing and the others?"

Faced with the question, he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "That kind of occasion, haha, I have never liked it very much! Besides, if Jinghui knew about it, she would be mad at me and it would be hard to appease her."

Jiang Cheng was startled, then burst into laughter and said, "I really didn't realize that our Chao Liu brother is actually quite henpecked..."

Her face turned redder after hearing what he said, but Jiang Cheng didn't say anything more. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "I feel that the atmosphere in Shanghai is not right."

Jiang Dengxuan heard this and immediately asked seriously, "Did you find out too?"

"The port is too quiet, and so is Shanghai. This side of the foreign concession is a concession. Logically speaking, even if there is a huge fight outside, it won't touch this side at all."

"And now, it seems a little too quiet."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

Although the fighting inside the Great Wall was fierce and chaotic, to put it bluntly, it was actually a "proxy war."

The Japanese are behind the Marshal, and so are Cao Saner and Wu Xiucai - think about it, with the Japs' cunning, they will definitely bet on both sides.

This time they went south to help Lu Yongxiang fight Wu Peifu, and also to stabilize Shanghai;
But in reality, we might have fallen right under the noses of the Japanese again.

"If someone spreads the word that we who landed in Shanghai intend to be the old fisherman... then will the snipe and the clam continue to fight?"

Jiang Cheng immediately hit the nail on the head. "Just now on the road, Han Qing and I were talking about the Lu family's neglect. Looking at this quiet foreign land—"

"The Lu family is probably more wary of us than they are of Wu Peifu."

Think about it, before Wu Peifu went south to join forces with Qi Xieyuan, he had to fight He Fenglin first.

But they were different. They rode the warships directly south and landed on the Huangpu River as Lu Yongxiang's back line.

If the Fengtian Army suddenly rose up and attacked the Lu and He families from both sides, and then sat down to divide the territory, it would be hard to defend against them.

“Master Jiang, do you mean… someone is trying to sow discord in front of Lawrence Lu?”

Jiang Dengxuan was quite surprised. "Yes, if that's the case, it's not surprising that Shanghai is taking strict precautions." (End of this chapter)
