With the landing of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the landing of the Shanghai General Headquarters, the entire situation changed.
On the 12th, Lu Yixuan ordered two battalions to build fortifications on the spot and repelled the 21st Brigade's attacks several times. With the support of the rioting team, he launched several small-scale counterattacks.[]
On August 13, Yang Sen finally fell out.
On this day, the commander-in-chief of the Hussars, Yang Sen, sent a telegram, accusing Lu Yongxiang, the commander of the Songhu garrison, of suppressing the patriotic movement and massacring patriotic people. The Nationalist Government rejected the peace talks and ordered Lu Yongxiang to leave on August 1.
Put down your weapons, hand over your troops, and electrify yourself five days ago!
If Yang Sen says he will fall out, he will fall out!
When Lu Yongxiang was in a dilemma, the United States, Britain and France began to put pressure on him again.
Shortly after Yang Sen's power was sent, the three powers simultaneously stated that Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin should bear full responsibility for the disaster that occurred in Shanghai, and demanded that the 21st Mixed Brigade in Shanghai immediately lay down their weapons, and that the order of Shanghai should be left to the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Internal and external troubles!
Lu Yongxiang's current situation can only be described as internal and external troubles.
The Northern Expeditionary Army established a firm foothold in Shanghai, and foreigners began to exert strong pressure on themselves.
Yang Sen's attitude was tough, and Lu Yongxiang sent several peace telegrams within one day, but Yang Sen rejected them all.
Lu Yongxiang began to seek help from Li Chun, the governor of Jiangsu Province. However, at this time, Li Chun was also in peace talks with the Nationalist Government and tried his best to please the Nationalist Government. How could he care about Shanghai's affairs?
The current situation is that whoever helps Lu Yongxiang is the enemy of the National Government. Especially the current National Government, which has the support of European and American powers, is the most troublesome.
In fact, by this time, even Japan, which wanted to protect the Beiyang government, finally knew that the Beiyang government was doomed!
Lu Yongxiang wanted to return to Shanghai, but as soon as he moved, the Northern Expeditionary Army would immediately chase him. Even if he could return to Shanghai, what would be the use?
When the deadline came on August 15, the Northern Expeditionary Army began to bombard Jiaxing!
At 3 pm on the 15th, Lu Yongxiang, the envoy of the Songhu garrison, was electrified and left the field!
When the news reached Shanghai, the whole city burst into cheers!
Victory, victory! Lu Yongxiang is down! This great warlord who was despised by Shanghai citizens is out!
To be honest, Lu Yongxiang was somewhat unfairly accused.
The Shanghai riots actually had nothing to do with him. Whether it was Lu Yongxiang, Zhang Yongxiang, or Zhao Yongxiang, no matter who sat in this position, something would happen sooner or later.
The biggest mistake Lu Yongxiang did was to form a feud with Huang Jinrong, which gave Wang Hengyue's intelligence organization an opportunity to use the hands of this Shanghai tycoon to let the storm burn throughout Shanghai!
After Lu Yongxiang left office, He Fenglin was unable to stand alone. He knew very well what terrible things would happen to him once he fell into the hands of Shanghai citizens.
On the night of the 15th, He Fenglin abandoned his team and ran into the Japanese Consulate at No. 3 Yuexing Road, Hongkou, Shanghai to seek asylum.
On the 16th, the 21st Brigade, which lost its command, put down its weapons!
The day has finally arrived!
On August 1, 2011, a riot broke out in Shanghai. On August 12, the Northern Expeditionary Army Marines landed in Shanghai. On August 16, all Shanghai warlords were wiped out!
The Shanghai Riot ended with victory!
Immediately, the President of the National Government appointed Lu Yixuan as the interim military and political chief of Shanghai, demanding that all efforts be made to stabilize the situation in Shanghai before the main force of the Northern Expedition entered Shanghai!
The huāhuā world of Shanghai finally fell into the hands of Wang Hengyue!
Lu Yixuan, who temporarily served as Shanghai's top military and political officer, quickly ordered the 21st Brigade's defeated troops to be gathered to maintain order in Shanghai. He also initiated negotiations with the foreign powers and required patrols in each concession to maintain order in the concession and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
This is of course the result that the great powers want to see.
On August 17, the Shanghai riots were declared over.
But although the Shanghai riots ended, the sāo chaos was far from over.
Those gangsters and pickpockets who had previously played a role in large demonstrations, general strikes, and large riots quickly revealed their true nature after the victory of the riots.
On the 16th and 17th alone, these people who claimed to be "revolutionary heroes" committed more than 100 crimes across Shanghai. More than 20 shops were smashed and robbed, and two shopkeepers who were protecting their shops were seriously injured.
After learning about this situation, Lu Yixuan quickly ordered "prohibition of rioting" to be posted throughout Shanghai, but the effect was not very great.
The chaos continued to spread on the 18th.
Using these gang members comes with certain risks, and now those risks are beginning to emerge.
Strangely, Lu Yixuan did not give orders to Shanghai tycoons such as Huang Jinrong and Yan Jiuling to restrain their disciples. This also made these tycoons who also regarded themselves as "revolutionary heroes" even more complacent.
Something big is going to happen! That was Du Yuesheng’s first thought!
He has carefully studied Wang Hengyue. When he first ordered the three southwestern provinces to immediately suppress and suppress the bandits and gang organizations in the three provinces, it can be seen that he hates these gang organizations deeply. Now the riots are going on in Shanghai.
There is no way he could remain indifferent!
Du Yuesheng immediately immediately ordered his disciples not to participate in any riots, and was introduced to Lu Yixuan by Lin Tianlong and Wang Huihai.
"Commander Lu, I have ordered the disciples here not to act rashly and to accept the command of the Northern Expeditionary Army. I arrested a few people who participated in the smashing and smashing, and now they are waiting outside the door for Commander Lu's punishment!"
Du Yuesheng's words made Lu Yixuan a little curious.
This person seemed to have seen that he was preparing to use force to suppress the chaos, so he actually took action in advance and put himself in a position to be manipulated by others. This would actually put him 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, put a glass in front of Du Yuesheng: "I have a very bad headache about the chaos."
"Don't dare, don't dare." Du Yuesheng stood up quickly and took the cup with both hands: "Commander Lu, those people are lawless. The Northern Expeditionary Army has already arrived in Shanghai, but they still dare to do this. I, Du Yuesheng, raise my hands to agree with the commander-in-chief's decision.
Any action. If anyone among my disciples violates the Commander-in-Chief's order prohibiting rioting, the Commander-in-Chief can arrest him!"
Lu Yixuan took a sip of red wine: "Yes, such good wine can only be tasted in Shanghai. I remember when I was studying in Europe, I spent a lot of money on tobacco and alcohol every month. Later I learned
Cheng returned to China, ah, Boss Du, you still don’t know, I’m from Hainan, and you can’t buy such good wine here. I like good wine, cigars, and beautiful women, all of which can be realized after arriving in Shanghai.
"Yes." Du Yuesheng was confused when he heard this, and had no idea what the commander-in-chief wanted to do.
"But the chaos of those people is so severe that it makes people have a headache." Lu Yixuan turned his wine glass and sighed: "I thought that when I arrived in Shanghai, I could live a comfortable life for a few days, but this is also disturbing.
, it’s so chaotic, I can’t calm down for a minute. Boss Du, what do you think I should do?”
"this
Lu Yixuan glanced at Du Yuesheng, smiled, and suddenly slammed the wine glass on the ground with a bang. The wine glass broke into pieces, which shocked the defenseless Du Yuesheng.
Lu Yixuan's face darkened, and there was even a bit of ferocity in his tone, as if he was a completely different person from the gentle and elegant person just now: "Whoever doesn't make things easier for me, I will kill him, and whoever wants to mess up Shanghai, I will
Just peel off his skin!"
Du Yuesheng was shocked and stood up hastily, sweat seeping out from his back.
Lu Yixuan suddenly smiled again and took out a cigar: "Boss Du, do you want to smoke?"
"Ah, thank you, no, no need."
Lu Yixuan's laughter and anger made Du Yueyu break into a cold sweat.
Lu Yixuan lit a light for himself, and his tone became gentle again: "Of course, you, Boss Du, are not such a person. You are helping us, that is, we are our friends, and we are friendly to our friends. Boss Du, I know
The turmoil in Shanghai is nothing more than caused by people like Huang Jinrong, Yan Jiuling, and has nothing to do with you, but I need Boss Du's help now."
"No matter what the commander-in-chief says, Du Yuesheng will obey his orders no matter what he can do.
"Du Yuesheng said hurriedly.
Lu Yixuan smiled slightly: "My army is ready. Since some people ignore my order prohibiting riots, then I can only use coercive means to stop the riots and restore order in Shanghai. Boss Du is very familiar with Shanghai.
, with the help of Boss Du, things will be much easier to handle. I wonder what Boss Du wants?"
Du Yuesheng knew that Lu Yixuan wanted him to lead the Northern Expeditionary Army to suppress Shanghai gangs.
In this way, once word spreads, he will instantly be on the opposite side of people like Huang Huangrong and Yan Jiuling and become their enemy.
That's okay with Yan Jiuling, but he was promoted by Huang Jinrong. How could he betray him?
"Boss Du, when disaster strikes, everyone will fly there." Lu Yixuan said meaningfully: "I know you are all tycoons, but tycoons can't do everything. Boss Huang is so powerful that he almost offended Lu Yongxiang.
Your life is at stake, not to mention your boss Du?"
This sentence woke up Du Yuesheng immediately.
Yes, what does a tycoon mean? No matter how big a tycoon is, once he offends these soldiers who have soldiers and guns in their hands, they will only die. Huang Huangrong is a living example.
You may not think about yourself, but what should you do with your disciples?
Du Yuesheng said respectfully: "Commander Lu, Du Yuesheng knows what to do."
Lu Yixuan laughed and said: "Quick, quick, Boss Du is true to his word, Lu admires it, come here, gather all the troops for me!"!.
