Signing in the Republic of China: starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 371 Expulsion of Ma Lianjia

Shanghai Stock Exchange

As the new envoy of the Songhu Guard, Guo Lang has recently been sought after by the entire municipal and business circles in Shanghai.

Even the villa he just bought is honored as Guo Mansion by outsiders.

From day to night, there are always people who come to visit Guo Lang here.

Some wanted to start a business in the Shanghai stock market, and wanted to seek the protection of Guo Lang, a big man with [-] soldiers in his hand.

Others hope that through Guo Lang, they can catch up with that giant Lin Hongfei.

In short, Guo Lang has never been so busy and irritable as he was in the Shanghai stock market.

He was not a particularly lively person, and being surrounded by such a group of people with schemes every day made him almost bored to death.

Fortunately, Lin Hongfei seemed to have anticipated such a situation. He knew that Guo Lang was a soldier, and he was not good at dealing with these human situations.

Therefore, he transferred Wu Qishan from Jiangbei to the Shanghai stock market to serve as the mayor of the Shanghai stock market, and directly assisted Guo Lang in guarding the city.

Wu Qishan, Lin Hongfei's brother-in-law, was also the earliest civil servant who followed Lin Hongfei.

After these years of experience, Wu Qishan has been able to stand on his own step by step, step by step, from the civil staff to the head of a county, the general office of Hanyang Arsenal, and the mayor of Jiangbei City.

Therefore, when he came, Guo Lang finally got rid of those fly-like three-educated and low-level people, and concentrated on building the city defense of Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Wu Qishan, on the other hand, has a long-sleeved and skillful attitude, wandering in the political and business circles of the Shanghai stock market, and in just a few days, he has become hot with many high-ranking figures.

For a while, the upper echelons of the Shanghai stock market gradually turned to the side of the Shanling Army.

As for Ma Lianjia, who also stationed troops near the Shanghai stock market, he was excluded intentionally or unintentionally by the Shanghai municipal and business circles.

And this is exactly the effect Wu Qishan wants to achieve.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange is a big sweet cake!

How can such a delicious thing be shared with outsiders?

Therefore, even though Lin Hongfei and Qi Xieyuan had already discussed before the war, he and Ma Lianjia would split the Shanghai stock market.

But if the Shanghai stock market was really brought down, Lin Hongfei immediately regretted it!

segmentation?

What a beautiful thing to think of!

Mine, all mine!

Nobody wants to take a little of it away!

However, Lin Hongfei is currently fighting fiercely with Fengjun in Yu Province.

At this time, if there is a firefight with Ma Lianjia, this is not a good choice.

Therefore, if we want to expel the Ma Lianjia forces from the Shanghai stock market, we can only adopt a relatively peaceful method.

Guo Lang couldn't do this kind of delicate work, and what he was best at was holding a machine gun in his hand.

As for things like killing people without blood and killing people without knives, Wu Qishan, a professional bureaucrat, is more suitable!

And the action to expel Ma Lianjia was also launched rapidly under Wu Qishan's control!

With the defeat of Lu Yongxiang's Zhejiang Army, the Shanling Army entered Shanghai and Shanghai. In the streets and alleys of Shanghai, the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army that had appeared from time to time disappeared.

They were replaced by soldiers of the Shanling Army in brown uniforms.

Compared with He Fenglin's subordinates before, the soldiers of the Shanling Army are much more kind. At least these people pay money for shopping and don't go whoring for nothing.

Even if sometimes some Shanling army drink too much and make trouble, the military police of Shanling army patrolling around will come over immediately to clean up these troublemakers.

It is only through comparison between people that we can see good and bad.

Although the Shanling Army did some things that ordinary people do, but in contrast, it has become what people call the contemporary Yue Family Army.

There are even newspaper reporters who spare no effort to praise and tout in newspapers.

It made the Shanling Army seem to be an army of sages who have never been seen before or since!

That's what public opinion is.

As long as your coverage is wide enough and your publicity is strong enough, you can suppress opposing voices.

Well, even if it is a small dog, it has become a famous dog in the world, worth millions!

Of course, the reporters would not spend so much money promoting the Shanling Army when they are full and have nothing to do.

One word and one ocean!

As long as the manuscripts written by the reporters can pass the review of the Shanling Army, no matter how many words there are, each word will be an ocean!

The Shanling Army was willing to spend money, and the reporters naturally spared no effort, which is really a boast.

And when the news that the Shanling Army is the contemporary Yue Family Army dominates the headlines of the newspaper, in other conspicuous positions of the newspaper, critical news about the Anhui Army under Ma Lianjia's command is also emerging one after another!

One word is two dollars.

As long as the news written by reporters criticizing the Anhui Army under Ma Lianjia is approved by Wu Qishan, no matter how many words, one word costs two dollars!

Earn more than boasting news about the Shanling Army!

Monetary incentives are very effective.

Immediately, the reporters in Shanghai, like sharks smelling blood, desperately collected black information about Ma Lianjia and his subordinates.

Soon, the reputation of Ma Lianjia and his subordinates in the Shanghai stock market will stink on the street!

If it was in Anhui Province, Ma Lianjia would have taken action to rectify it.

But here is the Shanghai stock market!

Moreover, Ma Lianjia does not have a corresponding position in the Shanghai stock market.

It's not that he doesn't want it.

The main reason is that Lin Hongfei took this position through the Songhu Guard, and he entered the city earlier, so he took up all the core official positions in Shanghai in just two days, and none of them were reserved for Ma Lianjia.

As a result, Ma Lianjia can only garrison troops in Shanghai, and can't do anything else!

Therefore, if Ma Lianjia wants to rectify the newspaper, there is no official reason.

What if we directly send troops to take over the newspaper office?

That is also delusional!

Since the newspapers began to slander Ma Lianjia, the Shanling Army seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection, and immediately stationed troops outside the major newspaper offices.

Let you miss any chance!

Ma Lianjia knew in his heart that the Shanling Army was definitely the mastermind of the newspaper doing this kind of thing.

It takes seven inches to hit a snake, so just thinking about cleaning up the newspaper office is not enough.

The Shanling Army is the root cause of the disease!

Just being rough, Lin Hongfei has left more than 2 elite soldiers in the Shanghai stock market, and he has also occupied a favorable position.

The troops on hand are simply not enough.

As for calling Qi Xieyuan to come to support, that is a bit delusional.

During this time, Qi Xieyuan and Chen Tiaoyuan were busy taking over the military and political affairs of Zhejiang Province, and most of the troops were also busy cleaning up some remnants of Lu Yongxiang.

There is no time to talk to Ma Lianjia here.

Of course, even if Qi Xieyuan was free, he would not send troops to the Shanghai stock market.

Qi Xieyuan is not stupid, Lin Hongfei is fighting with Feng Jun right now.

As long as Lin Hongfei doesn't fall, Feng Jun won't be able to defeat the Yangtze River, and he can sit back and relax as his patrol envoy to the three provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui and Zhejiang.

But if Lin Hongfei is defeated, without him standing in front, Feng Jun will be able to march south immediately!

Including Guangdong and Guangxi, they will also take the opportunity to make trouble.

Therefore, Qi Xieyuan is not plotting against Lin Hongfei at this moment, he is protecting himself.

Faced with this situation, Ma Lianjia's only choice is to hire journalists to play against the Shanling Army.

But the problem is that all the large and small newspaper offices in Shanghai have been bought by the Shanling Army.

Of course, there is also a semi-forced meaning.

After all, the Shanling Army guarding outside is not only responsible for protecting the newspaper office.

Therefore, after going back and forth, Ma Lianjia can only find some influential street tabloids, which basically have no effect.

Under such an offensive of public opinion, Ma Lianjia and its subordinates are increasingly resisted in the Shanghai stock market.

Until one day, a "horse exorcism" broke out among the people in Shanghai, and celebrities published in the newspapers that Ma Lianjia should leave the Shanghai stock market.

The major grain stores were also unwilling to sell grain to Ma Lianjia, which made Ma Lianjia's subordinates almost out of food.

At the same time, in the territory of Anhui Province, the territory of Ma Lianjia, "horse-reversing activities" broke out one after another.

Previously, in order to meet the military needs of the First World War in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Ma Lianjia increased taxes among the people to enrich its armaments.

He originally thought that after taking down Shanghai City, he would rely on the wealth he robbed from Shanghai City to make up for the economic hole in Anhui Province.

However, the reality is always unsatisfactory.

Therefore, the prestige of Ma Lianjia among the people in Anhui Province is increasing by leaps and bounds.

Qi Xieyuan didn't help, and his own strength was not strong, so he couldn't use violence.

The people of Shanghai opposed him, and something happened to his own territory.

Therefore, in such a helpless situation, Ma Lianjia could only withdraw back to Anhui Province with his subordinates amidst the scolding in Shanghai.

After all, compared with the already hopeless Shanghai stock market, it is the best choice to defend your own territory first.

Relying on one piece of news, Wu Qishan expelled Ma Lianjia from the Shanghai stock market without bloodshed.

Guo Lang couldn't help biting his teeth with this move.

In Wu Qishan's mayor's office, Guo Lang was sitting on a soft sofa, drinking tea while praising: "Qishan, okay, you really killed people without blood."

"No wonder the commander-in-chief asked you to be the mayor. The commander-in-chief really did not choose the wrong person."

"If you were me, you would have already fought with Ma Lianjia, and the whole Shanghai stock market would be in chaos."

Wu Qishan laughed and said, "That's why, the commander-in-chief sent me here."

"Shanghai stock market is a good place, gold is everywhere."

"Such a good place, you can't use knives and guns at will."

"We still want to make more money from the Shanghai stock market!"

Mentioning this, Wu Qishan took out a large envelope from his desk and threw it to Guo Lang.

Guo Lang stretched out his hand and said, "What is this?"

"You'll know if you check it out!"

"Right!"

Guo Lang opened the envelope and took out a bank deposit receipt from it.

Looking at the amount above, Guo Lang showed some surprise and said, "Hiss, so much money, Qi Shan, did you give it to me, or did you ask me to distribute it to the brothers?"

Wu Qishan held a gold-plated teacup, sipped his coffee, and said slowly:

"If it's for the brothers, I'll just call the quartermaster over, and I need you to make a special trip!"

"For me?"

Guo Lang was a little unbelievable, he continued:

"So much money, does the handsome know?"

"Qishan, our brothers came from Jiangbei together from Lu Province. They are all old brothers. Don't destroy me!"

Wu Qishan couldn't hold it back, and spat: "Damn, what do you think of me!"

"Do you want your fucking love? Don't give it back to me!"

"I'll take it home and give it to my daughter as a dowry!"

That is, in front of Guo Lang and his old brothers, Wu Qishan would swear a few foul words and say some presumptuous and inappropriate things.

In normal times, Wu Qishan's serious and unsmiling attitude makes people daunting.

"Don't, don't!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Guo Lang quickly apologized with a smile, but he was still a little puzzled and said, "Qishan, why did you give me so much money?"

"You have to let me figure it out, I don't take foolish money!"

Wu Qishan smiled and explained:

"Let me tell you, the commander-in-chief sent people to prepare for the acquisition in the Shanghai stock market long before the fight with Lu Yongxiang began."

"When we started fighting with He Fenglin in the Shanghai stock market, the stock price in the Shanghai stock market plummeted."

"Usually 5 yuan a share, directly reduced to 1 yuan!"

"The commander-in-chief sent people to buy a large number of these cheap stocks."

"As soon as the war ended, our Shanling Army had strict military discipline, and didn't do anything bad about common people or businessmen."

"People in the Shanghai stock market immediately had confidence in the stock market, and the stock price went up like a somersault."

"The stock bought for 1 yuan, directly rose to 6 yuan 2."

"Now let's throw it out, and the money will blow like a strong wind."

As he said that, Wu Qishan pointed to the certificate of deposit in Guo Lang's hand, and reminded him: "Don't think this is a lot of money. Let me tell you this, the money you got is just a drop in the bucket from the stock market this time!"

Guo Lang clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "That is to say, we are handsome, and we don't forget to make money when we fight."

"It means that after this battle, not only did we not pay military expenses and lose money."

"On the contrary, I made a lot of money!"

Wu Qishan nodded: "That's right, if I hadn't made a lot of money, where do you think I got the money to buy newspapers and non-governmental organizations as soon as I took office?"

"Especially the Green Gang. Look at Du Yuesheng and the others who are talking beautifully. As long as we speak, their Green Gang will definitely go all out."

"Shit!"

"If you don't give enough to Dayang, he will give us all?"

"What a joke!"

Mentioning Du Yuesheng, Guo Lang couldn't help showing a smile: "Don't tell me, this Du Yuesheng is also a wonderful person."

"If you don't open your mouth, you will be fine. If you open your mouth, what you say must be what you want to hear."

"Speaking of you makes me feel at ease!"

"If it were me, I would have to fight with someone in less than a few sentences!"

After drinking a cup of coffee, Wu Qishan replied, "Don't underestimate this person. From a pear peddler to where he is today, he has few real skills. That's impossible."

"This person's communication skills are very strong, even I dare not say that he surpasses him."

"Guo Lang, we are all old brothers, let me remind you, you'd better not deal with this person."

"This person has been in the underworld all year round. Although he talks about loyalty, but when it comes to the critical point, he still aims to protect himself."

"In case one day, someone offers him a higher price or a bigger threat."

"This person will betray us without hesitation."

Guo Lang leaned on the sofa, with his hands behind his head, his face was a little irritable and he said:

"To be honest, I really don't want to be the guard."

"I don't like the sophistication of the world!"
