Chapter 99

"Yes!"

Another secretary left behind Ma Deshang.

"Order Chen Changdong's third division to enter the Chinese world from the public concession, immediately control the Shanghai Municipal Government and personnel of various departments, but not allow them to be harmed, except for those who stubbornly resist and refuse to surrender, and disarm all the police officers in the police station!"

"Yes!"

Another secretary turned to give the order.

Now there is only one secretary left by Ma Deshang's side.

"You go to inform others that the operation has begun."

"Yes."

Ma Deshang looked at the last secretary and said slowly.

After the secretary nodded, he turned and left.

After giving all the orders, Ma Deshan found a seat and sat down.

"Shanghai will not be peaceful tonight."

Ma Deshang said something to himself.

Now everyone is getting busy, but he has nothing to do.

A series of orders were delivered from the Lu mansion.

Three divisions of the Shanghai Self-Defense Forces went into action.

The Chinese world began to fall into chaos. First, the Zhe Army barracks were attacked. The soldiers were awakened by gunshots while they were still asleep. When they finally put on their clothes and picked up their guns to resist, they found that the other party had arrested their chief. Bi Shuzheng, and finally heard that even Lu Yongxiang was arrested.

Zhang Lu stood up, according to the slogan formulated by Ma Deshang before the war, the slogan "oppose warlord melee, Shanghai autonomy".

Many soldiers here are from Shanghai. When they heard that Lu Yunsheng was in trouble, they immediately dropped their guns and surrendered. A large part of the barracks were Bi Shuzheng's confidantes. They obeyed Bi Shuzheng's order and led the soldiers to surrender.

In this way, Zhang Lu's first division directly incorporated the Zhejiang Army with more than 1 people in addition to beating and killing a few people at the beginning.

The order Zhang Lu received was to take control of the Zhejiang army barracks, and he didn't need to take care of other things.

After accepting the Zhejiang army barracks, Zhang Lu began to reorganize on the spot and announced the new army discipline and treatment. Generally speaking, the discipline has become stricter, but the treatment is twice as high as before, and it will not be deducted. Most of the soldiers were won over by a single trick, and the rest were diehards who were loyal to Bi Shuzheng and Lu Yongxiang. These soldiers and officers would be imprisoned.

The progress of Zhao Fang's second division is also quite smooth. When attacking the key points of the checkpoints, there are members of the Green Gang to help them, and they are taken over smoothly and start patrolling.

At this stage, Shanghai has basically become Ma Deshang's world.

Chen Changdong's third division was a little farther away, they entered Huajie later than the first and second divisions, and the brothers from the Green Gang were already waiting at the corresponding place.

The Third Division did not concentrate its actions, but spread them out, with the company and platoon as the basic unit, controlling various administrative departments, and the heads of each department were also controlled.

After doing this, the time has come to the middle of the night.

However, the Lu Mansion was still brightly lit at this moment, and the voices of people communicating, telephones, and telegrams kept coming and going, and Ma Deshang was still sitting in his seat in the meeting room.

"report!"

"speak."

"The first division sent a telegram. It has taken full control of the Zhejiang army barracks and has begun to reorganize the Zhejiang army. It is initially estimated that the reorganization will be completed tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I got it. Reply to Zhang Lu, tell him not to take it lightly, and reorganize the troops as soon as possible. After tomorrow, his first division and the reorganized Zhejiang Army will go to the front line."

Now Ding Cao has reached the front line of the battle between the Soviet Army and the Zhejiang Army, and is communicating with those generals. As long as Lu Yongxiang issues a telegram tomorrow, they will choose to join the Shanghai Self-Defense Forces.

After the frontline troops surrendered, Ma Deshang did not intend to continue to use them, and planned to replace them with Zhang Lu's First Division and the newly reorganized Zhejiang Army.

"Yes."

After one secretary left, another secretary walked in immediately.

"Go ahead."

"Yes, the Second Division just sent a telegram. They have successfully occupied all the key checkpoints in Shanghai. The Zhejiang Governor Lu Yongxiang is on his way to the Lu Mansion."

"Well, is there anyone in our Lu Mansion? Go and meet them. Lu Yongxiang's subordinates will not give up easily. The more critical we are, the more careful we must be!"

Hearing that Lu Yongxiang was on the way to be escorted, Ma Deshang was in a very good mood, and he would be a generation of heroes soon.

"Yes."

The second secretary leaves.

Immediately afterwards, a third secretary walked in.

"Is it news from the third division?"

"Yes."

"Tell me."

The news that came out now was basically good news. Ma Deshang leaned back on the back of the chair and let himself relax.

"The Third Division has just sent a telegram, and the various administrative departments of the Shanghai Municipal Government and the police station are already in their hands. Several diehards among them resisted with guns and were shot dead on the spot."

"Well, tell Chen Changdong that the Third Division will maintain the law and order in Shanghai for me. I don't want to see chaos when I go tomorrow."

"Yes."

The secretary left in response.

The succession of good news indicates that Ma Deshang's plan is slowly approaching success, and his heart is half-hearted.

Soon, Ading also walked in quickly.

"Brother Sheng, the family members of the frontline officers have already arranged, and there will be no danger to their lives."

"Well, you can stay here, Ading, and follow me to Huajie after dawn."

Ma Deshan thought for a while and said.

Now that all the trusted people have been sent out, there is always a need to keep a capable person by his side.

"Okay, Brother Sheng."

After Adin answered, he stood obediently behind Ma Deshang.

The gunfire in Shanghai did not last long, and even many citizens were still sound asleep.

When the sky is about to dawn, the whole city of Shanghai is also quiet. The citizens don’t know that the sky in Shanghai has changed. They still get up and go out normally. After they get on the street, they find some subtle differences. First of all, It was the original police who became soldiers in dark blue uniforms with the words Shanghai Self-Defense Force on their armbands.

The students around are distributing leaflets, and some students are standing on a high place and preaching loudly.

From the mouths of these students, they know that the current Shanghai is no longer headed by Marshal Lu, but has become the most famous person in Shanghai, Lu Yunsheng.

When they saw the slogan "oppose the melee between warlords and make Shanghai self-governing", the citizens agreed with them from the bottom of their hearts.

In their hearts, it is also natural to change the ruler from Lu Yongxiang to Lu Yunsheng, and follow those students to promote it.

"Have you heard that Mr. Lu will come to the Chinese world later, and we will be able to see Mr. Lu then."

"Mr. Lu is one of us. Under the leadership of Mr. Lu in the future, Shanghai will definitely get better and better."

"Who says it's not? I heard that Mr. Lu was born in a poor family, and he will definitely lead us to live a good life, unlike that Lu Yongxiang who only exploits us and often fights."

Everyone is very dissatisfied with Lu Yongxiang.

Everywhere in Shanghai is changing quietly, but this coup has little impact on ordinary residents and merchants. Except for some timid residents and merchants who hide at home and do not go out, most of the shops open on time business.

After dawn, apart from the soldiers of the third division who were patrolling the streets instead of the police, Zhang Lu's first division was reorganized nervously in the barracks, and Zhao Fang's second division also tried to guard the checkpoints so as not to affect the citizens.

Lu Mansion in the French Concession.

At this moment, Ma Deshang and Lu Yongxiang were sitting opposite each other on the sofa in the living room.

"Marshal Lu."

"Lu Yunsheng!"

"Although I have never met Marshal Lu, Yun Sheng is still very honored to be remembered by Marshal Lu."

Ma Deshang said with a smile on his face.

"The number one tycoon in Shanghai, some people ridicule that I, Lu Yongxiang, are the emperor on the surface of Shanghai, but in fact you, Lu Yunsheng, are the real emperor. But in my mind, you are just a smarter hooligan. It is very difficult to deal with you." It's simple, it's just because you made so much money for me, I have been refraining from doing anything to you, so I ended up like this, I regret it."

Lu Yongxiang already understood everything when he saw Ma Deshang. Although he knew who his opponent was this time, more confusion appeared in his heart, and he seemed to figure out these problems.

"Marshal Lu must have a lot of questions that he wants to ask me. I'm here now. You can ask as many questions as you want, but after you finish asking, I hope you can send a telegram to go down the field. It's more decent, and I can assure you. You father and son will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, how about it?"

Ma Deshang leaned back on the soft sofa, looking extremely relaxed.

"Lu Yunsheng, even if you catch me, do you think you can beat Qi Xieyuan and withstand Shanghai? Public opinion will overwhelm you, and the Beiyang government, the Republic of China government, and foreigners will not recognize you. "

Lu Yongxiang said with a smile.

"Marshal Lu, it seems that you still don't know the current situation. I don't blame you if you don't know much. The next time we two can talk freely, you ask and I answer, until you figure things out."

Ma Deshang said slowly.

Hearing what Ma Deshang said, Lu Yongxiang had a bad premonition in his heart, and he asked quickly: "I still left more than 2 garrison troops in Shanghai, how do you solve it?"

"Hehe, this has been resolved. Not long after you were arrested, the Zhejiang Army camp was instigated by us, and now it has been reorganized into the Shanghai Self-Defense Force."

"Bi Shuzheng was also arrested by you?"

"Of course, if you want to see him, I'll take you to see him for the last time later."

Ma Deshang picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, "Marshal Lu, this is a high-quality Dahongpao. I usually don't want to drink it. Take a sip to moisten your throat. Let's take our time."

"Lu Yunsheng, do you think Bi Shuzheng is an idiot? Are my [-] Zhejiang troops [-] pigs? If you say you want to instigate rebellion, then instigate rebellion."

Lu Yongxiang said angrily.
