Ever since Xiao Abao and Feng Shizhen became good friends, the two of them have completely let themselves go.
They were very serious at first, but it didn't take long for the two of them to have a tea chat. They were all young ladies from wealthy tycoon families that little Abao had met before.
Ye Haoran was not there originally, and he asked Defu to clean up a room for little Abao for them to play.
As a result, there were more and more people, and little Abao often stayed with Feng Shizhen at home, which made Ye Haoran often stay alone in the empty room.
He thought this was the end, but never imagined that this was just the beginning.
The two little girls had tea parties or went shopping during the day, and went to the theater in the evening. They went several times in a row. Even if they went to the theater, they didn't have anything in their pockets. The owner of the theater didn't dare. It was Lin Huai who knew about this accidentally, so he went to the theater to settle the bill. settled.
The two of them gathered a group of young ladies, and they spent all day in Shanghai, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were showing off.
What's even more outrageous is that little Abao dared to go to the casino with Feng Shizhen.
No, it was Sister Rong's bet from the French Concession, but she didn't lose much. The two of them didn't have much in their pockets, so they just wanted something new.
Then it really came out, almost frightening Ye Haoran's heart.
This evening.
Little Abao and Feng Shizhen had just come out of the theater, got on a rickshaw and went straight to the Concession Casino.
After entering the casino, I ran upstairs.
"Rong, we are here to see you!"
Sister Rong made a hole somewhere and was feeding, when Little Abao and Feng Shizhen ran up.
"It's Abao and Shizhen. You're not here to see me. If you want to play, don't use me as a shield."
In her own place, Sister Rong is not afraid of anyone looking for trouble.
"Hey, Rong, I brought you some cake. Let's go down and play for a while."
Little A'bao put down the cake with a smile, and went down with Feng Shizhen. He took out a few big coins and exchanged them for chips.
Of course, Ye Haoran would not miss Little Abao's pocket money. Since Little Ah Bao has been active more, Ye Haoran has also given him a lot more pocket money.
"Shi, what are you playing? I don't want to play. I've already had enough playing cards with my aunt. Why don't you play with me?"
"Abao, then, over there is the dragon and tiger. It's similar to a competition. I won last time. Let's play this again today."
"Walk."
The two little girls squeezed in with all their might.
"How dare you go to the gambling table at such a young age, little girl?"
The man who was squeezed away made a rant, and glanced at the two of them. He didn't know what he was thinking, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Originally there were bodyguards around the two of them, but because of Sister Rong's gamble, the two bodyguards were smoking outside the door.
There is nothing to worry about in Sister Rong's territory. If the two of them follow in, little Abao and Feng Shizhen will have no fun, so why bother themselves.
The man who had just peeked at Little Abao and Feng Shizhen, winked at a few other people, and walked out the door together.
On the other side of Ye Zhai, Ye Haoran was talking with Songlu Guardsman Li Zhongfei.
"Chang Li, I purchased three military vehicles for you. Having a vehicle will make it easier for you to go out for military training. How is the recruitment of soldiers recently?"
….

Li Zhongfei was eating cakes and drinking. He might not have eaten before coming.
"After half a year of training, there are only three regiments of soldiers who can fight, and the rest are all new recruits. Give me another half year, and after half a year, I can form a regular division with 20,000 baggage troops, but the combat effectiveness is only one , Mainly not that much, I formed a machine gun company with the mechanism you gave me, but everyone else has it, we don’t have it!"
The regular army of a division is 5,000. Taking into account the baggage troops and other soldiers, there are nearly 30,000 troops. Nowadays, he is also a quite powerful warlord.
The Northern Expeditionary Army only had 100,000 people when it started.
Didn’t you see that the Anhui warlords only had 200,000 soldiers at their peak, including the transport department, and the number of capable warriors was only 100,000. However, these 100,000 people spanned 4 provinces, and the average was only 20,000 to 30,000. Just people.
Ye Haoran pondered for a while. The current situation was that the number of troops should not be exceeded because it was very expensive to raise troops. This number was also decided by Li Zhongfei and Ye Haoran long ago.
In two days, when the situation becomes more chaotic, so much money will no longer be needed to expand the army.
Songlu is quite confused now
, it can be said that there is something in you, and there is something in you in me.
The Kuomintang had its own department here and established its own interim government in Jinling, but Songlu nominally belonged to Yuan Da, and all the senior executives were appointed by Beiyang.
In addition to the Beiyang faction and the country, there is also Li Zhong who does not obey orders. Not only that, various chambers of commerce are also here, plus the Anglo-American faction, the French faction and the Japanese faction, plus the Red Party that is about to be established.
Today's Songlu can be said to be a mess.
It's a strange, mutually hostile relationship, but everyone pretends not to see each other, and they always live in peace.
No matter what happens outside, we can sit and drink together here, and occasionally talk about the situation or get information from the other party.
After thinking about the current situation, Ye Haoran said to Li Zhongfei: "The previous goods were all for Sister Rong. The batch that will arrive soon is for you. There are about 3,000 pieces. You can use it first. Don't go out of your own land at ordinary times. Take good care of Song." Just Lu."
Ye Haoran warned Li Zhongfei, fearing that he would swell and scare him away and cause trouble.
Li Zhongfei also knew that the current situation was chaotic and did not dare to make too much noise. Marshal Lu and his son were a lesson learned from the past.
"By the way, Mr. Ye, both the Revolutionary Army and Beiyang have been looking for us and want to win over us. Which side do you think we should stand on?"
"Mao Zai also looked for you?"
"Look, he just wants to mess with me. The person who wants to win me over is higher than him."
It's not surprising that Mao Zai came to Li Zhongfei. As the most powerful group in the Songlu area, it would be strange that he didn't make contact with them.
Ye Haoran smiled disdainfully: "Don't pay attention to Mao. There will be big events next year. You should stay calm and don't make mistakes."
"next year?"
Li Zhongfei was startled. He didn't know what Ye Haoran was referring to.
Ye Haoran comforted him: "I have news. Some people can't help but want to move. When the time comes, you can move with them. The most important thing now is to train the troops well."
Li Zhongfei heard this in confusion, but he knew that the situation in the future would be even more confusing. He did not have that kind of vision, nor the vision to see through the future. All he could do was listen to Ye Haoran's opinions.
Without Ye Hao, he would not be able to receive his military pay next month. There was nothing he could do. He did not belong to anyone. Neither the Beiyang nor the Revolutionary Army would pay him, so he could only rely on Ye Haoran to support him.
"Master, it's not good! It's not good! Master!"
Defu ran in rolling and crawling all the way.
"What's the rush? Let's take a breath and talk about it later."
"Young Master, please go and take a look. The young lady and Miss Feng Shizhen were kidnapped and taken away by Lin Huai to block the road in the concession."
"What!
! "
Ye Haoran screamed in surprise, almost scaring Defu to the ground.
"Mr. Ye, I'll ask someone to go and have a look with you."
Li Zhongfei knew the importance of little Abao and immediately wanted to scream, but Ye Haoran raised his hand to stop him.
"You are a soldier. You don't have to worry about what happens if you enter the concession. Go back to the military headquarters and wait for me. I'll go take a look first."
Before Li Zhongfei could leave, Ye Haoran hurried out with Defu.
Entertainment life begins at thirty.
