The French Concession has only more than 500 French soldiers, three or four old-fashioned gunboats, and just this little junk has occupied such a large territory in Shanghai and formed a country within a country. The hundred soldiers went up, both sides were very restrained, they held guns, but it was useless, they used the guns as sticks, and beat them hard together, this was a good fight, Ah San even hid behind in fright , the French soldiers were beaten up by their grandmas who couldn’t recognize them, and soon these French soldiers were all disarmed and caught, tied up with ropes, and the team continued to move in. Fang Xian is a smart man, and he knows what to do next. Let’s do it. Whenever you encounter French soldiers, you will fight them. You will find your teeth all over the ground and then you will be arrested. After more than two hours, all the French soldiers in the French Concession were captured. As for their warships, they have long been controlled by the Pacific Fleet. wave.

In the morning, the French Concession has returned to the motherland. The National Defense Army is very restrained and did not kill the French soldiers. In fact, the French soldiers are very arrogant, but there is no way. Don't use guns to kill people, [-] soldiers, in less than three days, completely resolved the concession issue left over from the late Qing Dynasty through tough diplomatic and military negotiations.

Three days later, all walks of life in Shanghai organized a huge parade to celebrate the recovery of the concession. The recovery of the concession is of great significance, which greatly increased the public support of the National Defense Army. Although the concession only took three days, there are still many great difficulties ahead.

Zhu Yupu was temporarily appointed as the mayor of Shanghai. Soon problems arose. Some unscrupulous grain and coal merchants boycotted one after another. The food supply gap was large. They spread rumors that there was insufficient food. Prices, related oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar tea, etc. have all experienced similar trends.

The newly formed leadership team obviously lacked confidence, and they were all at a loss.

Zhu Yupu said, "Don't panic, everything will be stable within half a month,"

"The mayors say it's easy, so many citizens are anxious to buy food, and now the price of food has risen five times, and every family is desperate," an official said.

"There will be two grain trains arriving at Shanghai Station tonight, and in the morning tomorrow, [-] temporary grain sales outlets will appear in the urban area to sell grain at a fair price," Zhu Yupu said confidently.

In the morning of the second day, as expected, there were [-] more temporary food sales outlets in the urban area, with the sign of the city hall hanging. Dozens of college student volunteers were required to help maintain order in front of each booth. The new food sales outlets sold at low prices food, and unlimited purchases.

At the beginning, several grain stores secretly sent people to buy grain, but early the next morning, another hundred trucks of grain drove into Shanghai, and on the third day, there was still a train of rice from the northeast approaching In Shanghai, the white rice, the reporters from all walks of life took pictures of the stevedores who unloaded the goods. Among these stevedores, there were undercover agents from other grain companies, and they all saw the grain.

Due to the abundance of food, the price of food was quickly stabilized, and the people no longer rushed to buy food, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was much better.

Zhu Yupu smiled all over his face: "Everyone, what's the matter, let's stabilize the grain price soon."

"Quick, too fast, mainly because we have enough food and strong transport capabilities," an official said.

Zhu Yupu shook his head: "This is an economic war, and you need to use your brains. In fact, there are only a few dozen carriages of grain in total. What are two trains of grain, or hundreds of trucks of grain? They are all moving back and forth. They are transported in during the day and shipped out at night. There is food on the surface, but there is sand below, and there is a lot of food, but we have just set off in the Northeast, and it will arrive in about three or four days, not to mention that there is no shortage of food in Shanghai, it is just hoarded by some profiteers."

As for the others, such as coal and salt, the alliance of more than a dozen commercial firms can't make waves with this one. They are economical, and the generals and national defense forces are very strong.
