Shanghai.

With the landing of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the landing of the Shanghai General Headquarters, the whole situation changed.

On the 12th, Lu Yixuan ordered the troops of two battalions to build fortifications on the spot, repelled the attacks of the 21st Brigade several times in a row, and launched several small-scale counterattacks with the support of the riot team.

On August 13, Janssen finally turned his face.

On this day, Yang Sen, commander-in-chief of the Hussar Corps, sent a telegram, accusing the Songhu garrison of making Lu Yongxiang suppress the patriotic movement and killing the patriotic masses, and the Nationalist Government refused to negotiate peace, and ordered Lu Yongxiang to lay down his arms, hand over the army, and go to the field by August 15!

Janssen said to turn his face and turn his face!

When Lu Yongxiang was in a dilemma, the United States, Britain and France began to put pressure on him again.

Soon after Yang Sen's telegram was issued, the three powers simultaneously stated that Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin should take full responsibility for the disaster that occurred in Shanghai, and demanded that the 21st Mixed Brigade in Shanghai immediately lay down its arms, and that the order in Shanghai should be handed over to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Internal and external troubles!

Now Lu Yongxiang's situation can only be described as internal and external troubles.

The Northern Expeditionary Army gained a foothold in Shanghai, and foreigners began to exert strong pressure on them again. Yang Sen took a tough attitude, and Lu Yongxiang sent several telegrams asking for peace in one day, but Yang Sen refused.

Lu Yongxiang began to ask for help from Li Chun, the overseer of Jiangsu, but at this time, Li Chun was also conducting peace talks with the Nationalist Government, trying his best to curry favor with the Nationalist Government.

The current situation is that whoever helps Lu Yongxiang is the enemy of the Nationalist Government, especially the current Nationalist Government, which has the support of the European and American powers behind it, which is the most troublesome point.

In fact, until this time, even Japan, which was bent on maintaining the Beiyang government, finally knew that the Beiyang government was about to finish!

Lu Yongxiang wants to return to Shanghai, but as long as he moves, the Northern Expeditionary Army will be able to chase after him immediately, even if he can return to Shanghai, what is the use?

On August 15, the deadline arrived, and the Northern Expeditionary Army began shelling Jiaxing!

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the 15th, Lu Yongxiang, the envoy of the Songhu garrison, went to the field with electricity!

When the news reached Shanghai, the whole city erupted in cheers!

Victory, victory! Lu Yongxiang is in the wild! This big warlord who spurned the citizens of Shanghai has gone into the wilderness!

To be honest, Lu Yongxiang was a little wronged.

The Shanghai riots actually didn't have much to do with him. Whether it's Lu Yongxiang, or Zhang Yongxiang or Zhao Yongxiang, no matter who sits in this position, something will happen sooner or later.

The most wrong thing Lu Yongxiang did was that he shouldn't have made a feud with Huang Jinrong, and gave Wang Hengyue's intelligence organization an opportunity to take advantage of it, and let the storm burn throughout Shanghai with the help of this Shanghai tycoon!

After Lu Yongxiang went into the wilderness, He Fenglin could not hold on alone. He knew very well in his heart what terrible things would happen to him once he fell into the hands of the citizens of Shanghai.

On the night of the 15th, He Fenglin threw away his team and ran into the Japanese consulate at No. 3 Minhang Road, Hongkou, Shanghai, to seek refuge.

On the 16th, the 21 Brigade, having lost its command, laid down its weapons!

The day has finally come!

On August 11, 1919, the Shanghai Riot broke out. On August 12, the Marines of the Northern Expeditionary Army landed in Shanghai. On August 16th, all the warlords in Shanghai were wiped out!

The Shanghai Storm ended with victory!

Immediately, the president of the Nationalist Government appointed Lu Yixuan as the supreme military and political governor of Shanghai, and demanded that every effort be made to stabilize the situation in Shanghai before the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army entered Shanghai!

The world of flowers in Shanghai finally fell into the hands of Wang Hengyue!

Lu Yixuan, who temporarily served as the supreme military and political commander in Shanghai, quickly ordered the 21st Brigade to gather the defeated army and maintain order in Shanghai. He also negotiated with the foreign powers, requiring patrols in the concessions to maintain order in the concessions and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

This is, of course, the outcome that the Great Powers want to see.

On August 17, the Shanghai riots were announced.

But despite the end of the Shanghai riots, the riots were far from over.

The hooligan pickpockets who had previously played a role in the Great Tour, the Great Strike, and the Great Riot Movement also quickly revealed their true nature after the victory of the Riot Movement.

On the 16th and 17th alone, these people, who regarded themselves as "heroes of the revolution's life," committed more than 100 crimes in various parts of Shanghai. More than 20 of them were smashed and looted, and two shopkeepers who protected their stores were seriously injured. …,

Upon learning of these circumstances, Lu quickly ordered the posting of "anti-riot orders" throughout Shanghai, but the effect was not very great.

On the 18th, the riots continued to spread.

There is a certain amount of risk associated with using these gang members, and now such risks are beginning to appear.

It is strange that Lu Yixuan did not let Huang Jinrong and Yan Jiuling, the Shanghai tycoons, restrain their protégés in the form of orders. This also makes these tycoons, who also regard themselves as "heroes of the revolution", more complacent.

Something big is coming! Du Yuesheng's first thought was like this!

He carefully studied Wang Hengyue, who was only in the three southwestern provinces at the beginning, and immediately wiped out and suppressed the bandits and gang organizations in the three provinces, which shows that he hated these gang organizations deeply. Now that the riots in Shanghai are going on, he will never be indifferent!

Du Yuesheng immediately ordered his protégé not to participate in any riots at the first time, and was introduced by Lin Tianlong and Wang Huihai to meet Lu Yixuan.

"Commander-in-Chief Lu, I have ordered my protégés not to act rashly, and to accept the command of the Northern Expeditionary Army. There were a few people who participated in the smashing, I arrested them, and now I am waiting outside the door for Commander-in-Chief Lu to punish them! ”

Du Yuesheng's words made Lu Yixuan a little curious.

This person seems to have seen that he was ready to suppress the riot by force, and he actually acted in advance and put himself in a position to be slaughtered by others, so that he could put himself in a favorable position.

"Boss Du, what do you think I should do?" Lu Yixuan opened a bottle of red wine, poured it into two glasses, and put a glass in front of Du Yuesheng: "I have a very headache about the riots. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Du Yuesheng hurriedly stood up and took the cup with both hands: "Commander-in-Chief Lu, those people are lawless, the Northern Expeditionary Army has arrived in Shanghai, and they dare to do this, I, Du Yuesheng, raise my hands to approve of any action by the commander-in-chief." Among my protégés, if anyone violates the commander-in-chief's order to prohibit riots, the commander-in-chief can arrest him! ”

Lu Yixuan took a sip of red wine: "Yes, such a good wine can only be tasted in Shanghai." I remember when I was studying in Europe, I had to spend a lot of money on cigarettes and alcohol every month. Later, I returned to China after completing my studies, ah, Boss Du, you don't know, I am from Hainan, and I can't buy such good wine in our place. I like good wine, cigars, and beautiful women, and all of these can be realized when I get to Shanghai. ”

Du Yuesheng was confused, and she didn't know what the commander-in-chief wanted to do.

"But the riot of those people is very strong, so bad that it is a headache." Lu Yixuan turned his wine glass and sighed: "I thought that I could live a comfortable life for a few days when I arrived in Shanghai, but this is also a commotion, and it is also a riot, and I can't be quiet for a minute." Boss Du, what do you say I should do? ”

"This"

Lu Yixuan glanced at Du Yuesheng, smiled, and suddenly slammed the wine glass to the ground, and the wine glass cracked into pieces with a "dang" sound, startling the defenseless Du Yuesheng.

Lu Yixuan's face sank, and his tone was even a little hideous, as if he was a completely different person from Fang Cai's gentleness and elegance:

"Whoever doesn't let me have a good time, I will kill him, and whoever wants to mess up Shanghai, I will pick his skin!"

Du Yuesheng was shocked and hurriedly stood up, sweat oozing out of his back.

Lu Yixuan suddenly smiled again and took out a cigar: "Boss Du, do you smoke?" ”

"Ah, thanks, no, no."

Lu Yixuan's laughter and anger made Du Yuesheng break out in a cold sweat.

Lu Yixuan lit it for himself, and his tone became gentle again: "Of course, your boss Du is not such a person, you are helping us, that is our friend, treat friends, we are friendly." Boss Du, I know that the turmoil in Shanghai is nothing more than the people of Huang Rong Yan Jiuling, and it has nothing to do with you, but I need Boss Du's help now. ”

"Although the commander-in-chief said, there is something that Du Yuesheng can do, and he will obey his orders." Du Yuesheng hurriedly said.

Lu Yixuan smiled slightly: "My army is ready, since someone ignores my ban on riots, then I can only use coercive means to stop the riots and restore order in Shanghai." Boss Du is very familiar with Shanghai, if there is Boss Du's help, things will be much easier, I don't know what Boss Du thinks? ”

Du Yuesheng knew that Lu Yixuan was going to let himself lead the Northern Expeditionary Army to suppress the Shanghai gangs.

In this way, once it spreads, then he will stand on the opposite side of Huang Jinrong and Yan Jiuling in an instant, and he will become their enemy.

Yan Jiuling didn't forget it, but he was promoted by Huang Jinrong, how could he betray him?

"Boss Du, each of them will fly there when the disaster comes." Lu Yixuan said meaningfully: "I know that you are all tycoons, but tycoons can't do everything. Boss Huang has such a big power, he offended Lu Yongxiang, and he almost gave up his life, not to mention you Boss Du? ”

This sentence woke up Du Yuesheng at once.

yes, what is the tycoon? No matter how big a tycoon is, once he offends these soldiers with soldiers and guns in his hands, there is only one way to die, and Huang Jinrong is a living example.

You can not think about yourself, but what should you do with those protégés and disciples of your own?

Du Yuesheng said respectfully: "Commander-in-Chief Lu, Du Yuesheng knows what to do." ”

Lu Yixuan haha and said: "Refreshing, refreshing, Boss Du is full of words, Lu admires, come here, give me all the army and gather together!" ”
