New Warlords 1909

The governor did not explain why he was arrested, nor how he was arrested.The strange thing is that the other party seems to be a well-known gentry from the Sanhe family, whose father was a veteran of the Huai army.

Besides, even if Hua Fei violated the criminal law, isn't there still a police battalion in Hefei?Why did he have to use his battalion of new army officers and soldiers.

With a stomach full of doubts, it took nearly ten days for Gui Danchi to lead his troops to Sanhehua's home.But when he saw the defensive facilities around Hua's house and thousands of guard soldiers who were training, when he saw Hua's house coming in and out, mixed with countless foreigners.Gui Danchi hardly hesitated, and immediately turned around without even saying hello, and quickly retreated to Anqing.

Mom, this is not a security group, there are two thousand people, and the weapons and equipment look better than the new army in Anqing. After a simple scan, there are at least a dozen Maxim heavy machine guns.Human meat grinder, with such a powerful force, let alone let him take a battalion to arrest Hua Fei.Even if the governor sent more than 4000 new troops from the sixth battalion of Anqing to take down Hua Fei, it would be an impossible task.

(Friends who read on mobile phones, it was a book friend who made comments yesterday. I made changes to the previous article. It’s not a fake change. It won’t have any impact. I don’t know, hehe~)

12 Soul of the Army

In the living room of Sanhe Huajia, a typical Chinese classical Huizhou-style building, a Western-style banquet is being held.Smith had already been drunk and blurred, and he got a lot of money from this matchmaking, so he seemed extremely close to Hua Fei.

"Mr. Hua, the machine this time is the best equipment carefully selected by Mr. Kyle from the United States. Especially the bullet factory, which can not only produce all kinds of guns and ammunition, but also small-caliber artillery shells. Uh... now... ...You should be satisfied!"

"Mr. Hua!" Kyle is obviously in a much better condition than Smith, and he walked over with a glass of wine and said politely, "As you wish, I will not only send you the machine for the gun repair shop, but also the equipment for producing bullets. At the same time, Eleven skilled craftsmen have been recruited for you to guide your workers in production."

"Mr. Kyle's products and services, I am very satisfied!" Hua Fei responded very gracefully, obviously he is no stranger to these western social etiquettes.

"Mr. Hua, I think through this cooperation, we are already friends." Kyle said without any trace, "I don't know if I can ask, Mr. Hua purchased such a large amount of weapons and ammunition, and hired a number of Germans from Shanghai. Army retired officer, training your security regiment, does Mr. Hua have any worries?"

Hua Fei stared at Kyle with piercing eyes. Seeing that he was calm and not panicked at all, he couldn't help but lightly nodded his wine and said, "Since we are friends, we should treat each other with sincerity. I believe Mr. Kyle understands , The domestic situation in the Qing Dynasty is chaotic and the political situation is unstable. In order to protect the property and personal safety of our Hua family, forming an elite security team is really an act of self-protection, that's all."

Kyle smiled, and didn't care about Hua Fei's skillful avoidance of his question, and went directly to the point of his coming here. "Mr. Hua, you also know that the bullet machinery and equipment I shipped this time can also produce small-caliber artillery shells. I wonder if Mr. Hua is interested in our country's artillery?"

Hua Fei smiled softly, it turned out that Kyle's purpose of giving such value to the machine is here.It's not that he didn't consider the artillery at the beginning, but the artillery will greatly limit the marching speed and affect Hua Fei's military strategy.Second, you are armed with a local defense regiment, but you have artillery that is a siege weapon. The negative impact is also immeasurable.

Moreover, the governor of Anhui finally sent a new army. Although they only retreated after watching from a distance, at least it reflected that the operation of the state machine did not stop because of the end of the year.This made his plan to continue to expand the army had to be shelved, and he had roughly reached the bottom line of the government.I believe that as long as the military expansion does not stimulate their nerves, they should not take extreme actions.

After considering the gains and losses in detail, Hua Fei replied, "Mr. Kyle, you can also see that my guard group is only to protect the property of the Hua family. The power of the artillery is really superfluous to me. But since we are friends, let's I have to give Mr. Kyle a face. Well, I will order twenty 57mm field guns, twenty mountain guns of the same caliber and two base shells from Mr. Kyle. In addition, I will order two more from Mr. Kyle [-] grenades and [-] landmines, I wonder if Mr. Kyle is willing to accept this order?"

Although the number of artillery orders was far lower than Kyle's expectations, seeing another order for grenades and mines, it finally made up for it. Kyle immediately raised his glass with a smile and said, "As you wish, happy cooperation!"

Just when the atmosphere of the reception was getting drunk, Guo Tong hurried in and whispered in a low voice, "Young Master, two tenant farmers from West Village were killed by rioters when they visited their relatives' house in Daqian Mountain!"

"What? Traitors? Kill my tenant farmers!" Hua Fei shouted, which immediately startled many half-drunk foreigners, who looked at him stupidly.

Guo Tong didn't expect the young master's reaction to be so intense, and he said more cautiously when he saw this, "Yes, young master, their family members have already found the body. I've seen it, and the scene is indeed a bit..."

"It's unreasonable, Guo Tong, order all the guards to assemble urgently!" Hua Fei shattered his wine glass and strode away.Kyle and Smith, who were present, looked at each other, wondering in their hearts, my God, is this irritable barbarian really Mr. Hua Fei?It was really the polite and extremely gentleman Mr. Hua just now, why did he suddenly become possessed by the devil and Satan and become so manic?Is it rare just because two servants were killed?

The soldiers of the [-] security regiment assembled and stood on the playground in front of Hua's house.Everyone is fully armed and fighting spirit is high.It's just that everyone felt a little strange. They didn't understand why Young Master Hua suddenly gathered them together.

After waiting for a long time, I heard bursts of crying from the west side.However, without an order, no one dared to turn their heads.

Soon, Guo Tong and several soldiers of the guard company carried two stretchers to the front of the line, Hua Fei supported an old woman, and several women and children in plain clothes followed closely behind.

Everyone was stunned. If it weren't for strict discipline, they might really be whispering.What the hell is going on here?

Hua Fei comforted the old woman for a long while, then he raised his head with a heavy face, looked at the bewildered crowd, and said, "You may be curious, you may not know the broken corpse lying in front of you. But I Hua Fei, but remembers them."

"They are called Xu Da, Xu Kaiming. When there was a flood in our place a few days ago, I clearly remember that it was Xu Da who carried the old woman out of the house that was about to collapse, but the old woman was not the same as him. I don’t know each other, and it’s not from a village. This Xu Kaiming, I remember most clearly. At that time, I was digging a silted river channel with everyone, and I was very thirsty. It was Xu Kaiming who handed a bowl of cool tea Me. I remember them, they are not tenant farmers of my Hua family, they are all my fellow Hua Fei!"

"But now they are lying in front of you and me, unconscious. After they died, not only were their clothes stripped off, their ears and noses were cut off, and some even their heads were missing. Who killed you? ? Killed by a group of bandits, by a group of insane mobs!"

"You may be wondering, the two of them were killed, what do I gather you for?" Hua Fei waved his arms and said loudly, "Because, I want to avenge them, because I want to catch and kill them with my own hands." villain."

"Some of you may disagree. I just want to tell you, if one day, those lying here are your relatives and friends. What would you do? Tell me, what would you do?"

"revenge!"

"Speak up and tell me, what are you going to do?"

"Revenge! Revenge!!!"

"Yes, we want revenge. We can't turn a blind eye? We can't be indifferent? I set up a security team to appease one side, so that the villagers can live and work in peace and happiness. This is my wish, and it is your responsibility!"

"I can tell you that if one day, you or your relatives and friends are also lying here and are unfortunately killed by bandits. Then I, Hua Fei, will definitely avenge him! I swear, blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"

Everyone's emotions were involuntarily mobilized by Hua Fei.Just because of the two tenants, Hua Fei was so angry to avenge them.What a kind and righteous young master this is, they are excited, and more of a feeling of being recognized is mixed in it.

Everyone's blood boiled with enthusiasm, as if the dead were their relatives, an invisible sense of impulse rippling in everyone's heart.

"Second Regiment and Third Battalion, stay at the camp. Others, follow me!"

Hua Feiteng stepped on the horse, with two Browning pistols on his waist, looked at the neat team, swung his whip and pointed straight ahead, and said loudly, "Let's go, the goal is Daqianshan!"

Watching more than 1000 high-spirited and murderous soldiers rushing out of the camp.All the Americans at the scene, including those retired German officers, were impressed by Hua Fei's armed forces.With such a high-spirited will to fight, even if the fighting quality is almost lacking, it is still a strength that cannot be underestimated.

"Kyle, what do you think? This Mr. Hua Fei, you really can't see through it!" Smith seemed to be completely sober at this time, looking at the scene in front of him, and murmured in Kyle's ear.

"If you can, try to be friends with this Hua Fei. If you can't, definitely don't be enemies with him!" Kyle's words made Smith agree and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, such an army, given time, will probably become an important force in the Qing Dynasty! It's just that I don't know what this Mr. Hua Fei is going to do? It seems a bit worthless to go to war for the sake of two tenants. !"

"No, you don't understand, this is where Hua Fei's brilliance lies!" Kyle said thoughtfully, "You didn't realize that although the army was well-disciplined before, there were always shortcomings. Now I know, it is a kind of The soul, the fighting soul, the bloodthirsty soul, this is the military soul!"

13 Unexpected Joy

Anqing, governor's yamen.

"What? There are foreigners? Are you sure you read it right?" Anhui Governor Zhu Jiabao was shocked when he received the news from Gui Danchi.

"My lord, how could I be wrong. At least a dozen foreigners were there to help install machinery and equipment, and foreigners helped Hua Fei train the security team. These are all seen by the humble staff, how can I be wrong!"

"What's going on here? Why did the Hua family have anything to do with foreigners? The last time Hefei was disturbed and the treasury was emptied, were there any foreigners behind it?" Zhu Jiabao received a telegram from Li Weiyuan, the county magistrate of Hefei. , I thought it was a rash act of the local gentry.A battalion of new troops was sent out as a deterrent, but the other party still didn't submit obediently.But who would have thought that Gui Danchi, the manager of the first battalion, ran back and told him that he led the army back before seeing that Hua Fei.

Because the Hua family not only has an armed guard group beyond imagination, but also many foreigners come in and out.That's fine with the guards, after all, no matter how strong you are, your arms can't hold back your thighs.But foreigners are in trouble.Let alone the governor of Anhui, even if it is the imperial court, the current emperor dare not do anything to foreigners when he sees foreigners.

"My lord, here is the information about Sanhehua's family!" An aide immediately dug out the newly collected information.

"Read!"

"Hua Fuyuan, the original owner of the Hua family in Sanhe, was a commander in the Huai army. After the Sino-Japanese War, he returned to his hometown to buy land and set up new factories. He accumulated a lot of wealth. He had three adopted sons, who were the pillars of the Hua family. Hua Fuyuan regards him as a confidant. He has nearly [-] elite guards, and he is the leading force in the local area. The young master Hua Fei is the only son of Hua Fuyuan. His mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to him. Passed away. He once studied at Nanyang Public School in Shanghai, and was hijacked by Chaohu bandits when he returned home from vacation last year. It was after that incident that Hua Fuyuan was injured and died, and his son took over the family business!"

"Not long after his father's death, Hua Fei mortgaged his land, sold the factory, and exchanged cash for cash. He took most of his property and rushed to Shanghai. It is said that he went to Shanghai to speculate in stocks and made a lot of money. When he was in Shanghai, other I don’t know what kind of relationship they used, and they are extremely close to Americans such as Kyle, the deputy manager of Citibank. And they are quite well-known in the foreign circles in the Shanghai Concession. It is said that they are also honorary citizens of New York City, the United States of America.”

"In August of this year, after returning to my hometown, the land was redeemed, and the rent was reduced to recruit and form a guard group. The new recruits were all American-style weapons. If it is not bad, it should be provided by Kyle and others. Not long ago, due to the rent reduction He had a dispute with the magistrate of Hefei. In a fit of anger, he led his people to capture Hefei and moved the military armory and vassal treasury, which did not disturb the prominent families in the city. It should be those Americans."

Zhu Jiabao did not expect that the information of his staff would be so detailed, but it was precisely because of the details that he had such a headache.The background of the Huai army is fine, after all, the current Huai army has declined, and it doesn't affect the climate much.But foreigners, foreigners, as long as things involve foreigners, it is a hot potato.Seeing Hua Fei's arrogant and defiant actions, [-]% of them are backed by foreigners.Otherwise, how could he be so bold.

"Report, Lord Governor, urgent call from Hefei!"

It's Hefei again!There has been a lot of trouble in Hefei recently!Zhu Jiabao roared irritably, "Read!"

"Li Weiyuan, the magistrate of Hefei County, sent a telegram to Zhu Jiabao, the governor of Anhui. Two tenants under the name of Sanhe Huafei were killed by the mob. Hua Fei was furious, and took the new army of the guard group to Daqian Mountain to hunt down the mob. The humble officer asked the governor to take advantage of it. At this time, send troops to take down the Hua family and force them to submit!"
