The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Just think about it and you will understand their intention - now Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are gradually stabilizing, and after this battle, everyone can guess whose sphere of influence this area belongs to.

Now that Jiang Cheng is the commander who stays here, these old guys who have been in the business world for many years naturally know where to flatter.

"Instead of me going there, why not let Brother Feng go there on my behalf... He comes from a wealthy family and has more experience than a country bumpkin like me."

Jiang Cheng made a self-deprecating remark casually - if it was just the Green Gang, it would be fine for him to go and meet them;

The key point is what kind of people are involved in the meeting. The man surnamed Huang didn't mention it either... Jiang Cheng was even more confused about the connection.

"Yes, let Master Feng go to meet him on your behalf."

Feng Qing has always been a straightforward person, "We all think that Huang is not a good person, so don't let him trick you!"

Jiang Cheng did not interrupt him and let him continue to talk about how he was not a good person.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing immediately became eloquent, saying that the situation in Shanghai had been tense these days, and the people in the Qing Gang were driving up prices and creating tension everywhere.

"Now that things are peaceful, the price of rice and other things remain high. The logistics department complains every day. Our expenses are so high, let alone the common people."

After Feng Qing finished speaking, Han Ming on the side also said: "The price of rice is several times higher than that in Northeast China. Food, clothing, housing, and everything else are expensive—"

"Yesterday afternoon, a very hungry child on Nanjing Road stole a piece of bread from a foreigner's shop. He was chased by several policemen and lost his way. He was hit and killed by a car on the road."

"Some people even sold their children. Alas, in this chaotic time, if the Qing Gang really had the loyalty to their cause, how could they have made such a fortune? Why don't they open the warehouses and give people food to survive?"

You're overthinking it. How did the Shanghai gangs get rich? Wasn't it just by exploiting the people and finding ways to make money in this chaos?
You ask them to open their warehouses and release grain. Isn't that simply pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth?

Jiang Cheng didn't say much, but asked Han Ming to invite Feng Yong over and explain today's matter to him -

Jiang Cheng himself is going to meet with the representatives of the Northern Expedition today. The "Anti-Zhi" movement has officially begun. Although the tough guys on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang battlefields have been taken down, some teams have not yet been completely eliminated.

In fact, the Anhui Army should have fought this battle, but the two people Lu and He who were attacked had only a few soldiers left.

In addition, Jiang Cheng's own supplies were a little insufficient. If he really wanted to push forward, the gasoline would not be enough and the cars and tanks would all have to break down.

After much thought, he decided that this matter had to be left to the Northern Expedition Army and Lu He'er, so he planned to make things clear today.

The two representatives sent by the Northern Expedition looked young, but they were both capable and mature.

Both of them held the rank of regimental commander. One was called Shao Minghan and the other was called Gong Hua, who were about the same age as Jiang Cheng.

When they met, they exchanged pleasantries and complimented Jiang Cheng on his great achievements at such a young age. They had heard about him in Guangdong and other places.

Moreover, he did not give in at all in the face of invading forces. His courage to fight made the two of them admire him very much.

"Oh, thank you for the compliment—"

Jiang Cheng still has a lot of respect for people who share the same ideals and aspirations. "You all should know that our Northeast has been really screwed over by the Japanese!"

"They are cunning in their business, plundering the mines and forests, and setting up a Japanese settlement, which has made most of the Northeast a mess... I think no one would tolerate this kind of thing!"

Gong Hua also nodded immediately and said, "Of course - as a soldier, you should defend your country. Even if you die on the battlefield, you should fight to the death to drive out foreign enemies."

At this point, he turned his gaze to Lu and He, who had remained silent, and said with a smile, "You two said the same thing, right?" Are you targeting us?

He Fenglin has always had a bad temper, and he immediately got a little angry, but his colleague beside him quickly tugged at the corner of his military uniform under the table and said with a smile: "Of course it is so!"

"Just as Master Jiang said, we are all a group of people with the same ideals and aspirations. Otherwise... hehe, we wouldn't be sitting here together to discuss the future."

It seems that Lu Yongxiang is much more cunning than He Fenglin. When it comes to key issues, he is not easy to fool.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "I asked everyone to come here today to discuss the disposal of the Zhi army near Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"The main force of the Wu army has been driven out of range by my subordinate Jiang Dengxuan; but according to the scouts' report, there are still remnants of the Zhi army near Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"If we don't clean it up, it might come back in the future."

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Shao Minghan immediately expressed his opinion: "Mr. Sun mentioned that the main task of the Northern Expedition is to fight against the Zhili... Any force that hinders the progress of China should be completely eliminated."

"The Northern Expedition Army is willing to take on this responsibility - but, after several consecutive battles, we are not able to obtain sufficient supplies and ammunition. If we confront the main force of the Zhi Army head-on, we are afraid that..."

He didn't finish the second half of his sentence, but Jiang Cheng understood it: these days, except for himself, no one else has enough money, food, soldiers and horses.

But Jiang Cheng is facing the same problem now. Jilin has a large amount of weapons and equipment, food supplies, etc., but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst... He also doesn't want to quench this "immediate thirst".

"It's the same for us. That damned Wu Peifu beat both of our families badly!"

He Fenglin immediately responded, "We lost a lot of brothers, and we don't have enough bullets—"

"Master Jiang, this matter... still needs you to take the lead!"

Damn it, this is your own territory, and you’re waiting for me to help you clean it up?

Indeed, Lu Yongxiang was later considered the Marshal's "little brother", but Shanghai was never considered the Fengtian Army's backyard - if it was really for the Northeast, Jiang Cheng would have to fight for his life at all costs;
But in the current situation, even if he smashed it hard, he couldn't get anything out.

"I think this matter needs a clever fight."

Hearing the complaints from everyone, Jiang Cheng finally smiled.

Almost on the same day, Jiang Cheng sent Jiang Dengxuan as a representative, who drove a military vehicle to the Zhi army camp in a swaggering manner.

Seeing the Fengtian Army’s direct attack, the other side was completely stunned: they were fighting to the point of bloodshed just a few days ago, what were they doing?

The person in charge of this camp was none other than Zhang Xiyuan, who had fought with them before in Luanzhou.

After revealing their identities and meeting the highest officer, Jiang Dengxuan clapped his hands, and two fully armed Fengtian Army soldiers carried in a small box.

"Haha, my Master Jiang said that there must be some kind of gift for meeting someone!"

Jiang Dengxuan smiled and said, "It's just a little gift. Please accept it."

After saying that, he ordered his men to open the boxes, revealing the large yellow croakers in the boxes! (End of this chapter)
