New Warlords 1909

"My lord, we are really not the opponents of the Hua family's security regiment. Didn't you see that they brought heavy machine guns, a total of four. Those are heavy machine guns. Anqing's provisional Army 31 Mixed Association, but even one Not even a heavy machine gun!"

"My lord, you can send an urgent message to Governor Zhu, Lord Zhu, and dispatch new troops to arrest these lawless tyrants."

Li Weiyuan's teeth ached with anger, the armory was robbed, and the treasury was evacuated.If the imperial court blames him, he will lose his official position, and he will not be able to escape from prison!How can you say that there are thousands of patrol battalion soldiers in Hefei, who actually watched the arsenal and the treasury being emptied, Li Weiyuan felt so useless!

"Immediately send electricity to Anqing, and inform the governor of all the situation, please send troops quickly to arrest the outlaws of the Hua family!"

Ji Guangen and Zhao Yan walked out of the county office, looking at each other and wiping away their sweat.It's over, it's over.Once the governor sends a new army, he will definitely investigate this matter.It was nothing at all, the new army came as soon as they came, it had nothing to do with them.But that damned, tyrannical young master of the Hua family gave them hundreds of silver dollars each before leaving Hefei.

What?Are you an upright official?Refuse to take bribes?But are upright officials afraid of death?You don't see the gun pointing at you, don't you accept it?Take it, just take it, what a long-winded one, but do you know where this silver dollar came from?Those are all silver coins moved out of the treasury!

"How about? Let's hand over the silver yuan to the county magistrate?" Zhao Yan asked tentatively.

"You idiot, we can be fine if you hand it over to us? We can't shirk the responsibility of defending the city alone!"

"What should I do?"

"Hey!" Ji Guangen sighed, "Live it with your eyes closed, one day is one day. If you have money to spend, spend it happily. This day, maybe it will collapse someday!"

Before returning home, Butler Liu greeted him with a few people.After hearing clearly what Hua Fei and the others had done, Steward Liu was almost terrified.

"Oh my god, young master, you...what have you done? You are so confused! Ah...Master...Master...Our Hua family is finished, you have a spirit in heaven...Please bless the Hua family !" Butler Liu suddenly turned his head to the sky and burst into tears. The sadness was indeed more painful than the moment when all the stocks were turned into waste paper.

"Okay, okay, Steward Liu, I have my own plan to do things. When you get home, tell me who are the big landlords and gentry families in this Hefei area. Which one is the strongest? Which ones are as good as ours? Are the families on good terms? Which families are at odds with our Hua family?"

"Brothers, everyone has done a great job in this operation. My son has decided that everyone who participated in this operation will be rewarded with five silver dollars!" Seeing Steward Liu's howl, many people showed suspicion and fear.Hua Fei spat secretly in his heart, turned around and immediately rewarded Zhu Xinding with silver coins to drive away the psychological shadow of Zhu Xinding.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Seeing that there was a silver dollar reward, the security team couldn't even think about tomorrow's affairs with a sad face.

Of course, Hua Fei was not like Liu Butler said, who would recklessly cause trouble just because of a grievance.Even in order to test the bottom line of the government and deter the changes of the nearby gentry, he will have many ways.Taking such a high-profile and arrogant behavior is of course related to the iron fist in his character. The most important thing is that he understands that there is no force in Anhui that can threaten his safety.

During this year, the imperial court existed in name only, and most of the old troops in Anhui were reorganized into patrol battalions, and their combat effectiveness was vulnerable.Temporary new army No. 30. There are thousands of people in the Mixed Association, but the governor Zhu Jiabao will do it for such a small matter?And call the new army of the All-China Association to destroy him?

Hua Fei didn't know, so he wanted to test it out.But he has enough guts. Even if all the 31 Mixed Associations are dispatched, they will definitely not get much benefit from the complete fortifications here.

It's just that if that's the case, it will be extremely unfavorable to Hua Fei.It can be said that his move is also a gamble, a gamble!Just like when he led dozens of comrades in arms and suddenly broke into the underground forces on the west coast of the United States, it was an extremely dangerous gamble that never retreated.

That night, the Li family, Ma family, Zhang family, Wang family and other major landlords and gentry near Hefei received news of Hua Fei's entry into Hefei and Qingzhou warehouses.Even though these gentry were used to storms, after hearing the news, they couldn't help being dumbfounded for a long time, and couldn't believe it.

"Has Hua Fuyuan's son been kicked in the head by a donkey? In fact, how could he get so deadlocked with County Magistrate Li over such a shitty thing as land renting?" Zhang Wen, the head of the Zhang family, thought for a long time before deciding, "Leave him alone, let's appease all the tenants. If he continues to make trouble like this, it won't last long."

"Hua Fei? That son of Hua Fuyuan? This reckless temper is very similar to his old man. Butler, send someone to the Hua family to deliver a letter tomorrow, in the name of the old man, to persuade him to send back those things he made in Hefei , the old man went to Lizhi County to mediate. They used to be from the Huai army, so if you can help, just help a little. Is it worth it for the trivial matter of land rent? Just let outsiders see the jokes of our Huai army!" The head of the Li family and Hua Fuyuan were very friendly back then, so it's not surprising that the young people were impulsive, but what this kid did was troublesome enough!

"How dare you attack Hefei? I think this villain of the Hua family doesn't want to live anymore. Let Ma Mao get ready. Once the government sends troops, let Ma Mao follow and beat the dog in the water!" It's an old enemy. If you get this opportunity, how can you not take advantage of it.

After hearing this news, more small landlords and gentry quietly silenced collectively.You said that he reduced the land rent, which is not a big deal in itself. Even if all the tenant farmers ran to his Hua's house, how many fields would there be for farming?Everyone was just out of favor, afraid that the heir of the Hua family would do something excessive, and wanted to beat him up.But now it's good, he didn't beat him, but the magistrate of Hefei was beaten by him.

This kid from the Hua family is really stupid, barbaric, and single-minded. Forget it, it’s better not to provoke such a person. Let him make troubles as he likes. Let’s see how he makes the Hua family That little family property, toss it all out.

In August, continuous heavy rains caused floods.However, the training of Hua Fei's security team still never stopped.It's just that Sanhe is located near Chaohu Lake. Affected by the rain disaster, the tenants under Hua Fei's name have suffered losses to varying degrees.

After learning about the situation, Hua Fei immediately personally led a thousand guard groups to go to the fields in turn to protect the tenant farmers against floods and disasters.A very important question is that everyone must understand what they are doing for?The new army of the defense regiment, fighting, for whom and for what!

This is very important. Although Hua Fei's mercenary was not bad at the beginning, it was based entirely on high salaries and overwhelmingly superior weapons and equipment.The loyalty of mercenaries is extremely limited.Once encountering a strong enemy, the fate of failure is predictable.The fundamental reason is that everyone doesn't know who to fight for, or they don't know who to die for.For money?Is it worth dying for the money?People are dead, there is a fart for asking for money!

It is better to practice than to preach in empty words.This move by Hua Fei not only quickly shortened the relationship between the new army of the security regiment and the tenant farmers, but also made the militia group he formed more cohesive.

(Regarding the question raised by some book friends, I have made some changes to chapters 8~[-], hereby explain~)

11 Anqing New Army

Hefei, the prefecture of Luzhou, the county government.

"Report, my lord, something is wrong, then... the young master of the Hua family led another thousand guards and rushed towards Hefei!"

Li Weiyuan was drinking tea, and when he heard this, his hands trembled in fright, the teacup shattered to pieces, his voice trembled, and he began to moan indistinctly, "What... what? He... What else is he here for? The treasury has been emptied by that bastard, what is he...what is he doing in Hefei?"

"My lord, according to the spies' report, they brought ten heavy machine guns this time!"

Li Weiyuan slumped on the chair, and so did my mother, ten heavy machine guns, he really respected the patrol camp in Hefei.The treasury has been robbed, so is it possible to rob the county government this time?Li Weiyuan looked at the majestic heavy rain outside the house, felt dark in front of his eyes, almost fainted, struggled and insisted, "Hurry up, tell Ji Guandai, and order him to lead people to strictly guard the city gate, and then let the Hua family boy come in. Severe punishment will never be forgiven! Then... again urgently call the governor, and say... Hefei is urgent, it is urgent!"

When Ji Guangen received that Hua Fei led the army to attack Hefei again, he brought ten heavy machine guns with him.Without further ado, he ordered his family to pack up their luggage immediately, and try to leave before this idiot invaded Hefei.defense?To hell with it.Just a few thousand veterans of patrol battalions and patrol battalions are not enough to satisfy the appetite of heavy machine guns for a few minutes.The vassal treasury is all empty, so it doesn't take much thinking to know that the greedy Hua Yanzi must be targeting the county government and the big households in the city this time.

After hearing the news, many noble families and gentry in Hefei also closed the gates of their houses tightly and asked their servants to guard their homes.They can still vividly remember the scene when Hua Fei's security group entered the city last time.Who knows if this Hua kid is addicted to stealing money? Who is sure that he won't set his sights on the big households in the city this time?

The heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, but was getting heavier and heavier.Through the thick rain curtain, only a few hundred meters ahead can be seen.Because the whole city was on guard, all the soldiers of the patrol battalion on the city wall were sent out to monitor every move outside the city in the rain.

"Look, Master Hua's security team is here!" Unlike the officials and gentry in the city, these low-status patrol battalion soldiers have a kind of admiration for Hua Fei.The last time Huafei entered Hefei, many patrol battalion soldiers who cooperated with the operation were indeed rewarded with a lot of benefits.Moreover, Hefei is such a big place, and many of the recruits recruited by the Huafei Defense Group are related to them.If the county magistrate hadn't issued the death order, they really wanted to open the city gate again, and let Hua Fei and his security team take another one-day trip to Hefei.

"Eh? Where is Master Hua going?"

Many soldiers of the patrol battalion were lying on the city wall, watching Hua Fei's new army of one thousand guards pass quickly in front of Hefei City with wide eyes, without any intention of stopping.

"Could it be that Hefei doesn't have much lucrative water? Did you go to other places to make money?" These patrol battalion soldiers didn't regard Hua Fei as an enemy at all, and some people laughed jokingly instead.

"It's possible, send someone to inform the county magistrate. Hu San, follow me out of the city and follow up to see what's going on?" A young patrol battalion soldier shouted and put down a rope.They both went down the city with Hu San, and chased in the direction where the guard group left.

Of course, Hua Fei didn't get addicted to 'robbing'. The quota of [-] guards had already been recruited, but there were still a large number of strong men who heard the news and came to join him.In order to strengthen the initiative of the new army training of the public security regiment, Hua Fei formulated a training assessment system.All members of the security regiment, whether they are ordinary soldiers or officers, will be automatically dismissed once they fail the assessment for more than three times!

And this heavy rain is just the best environment for evaluating the training results of the new army.So Hua Fei personally led the team, assessed the subjects, and marched [-] kilometers for a week.Hua Fei, who used to be a soldier, knows that in this era of underdeveloped means of transportation, the mobility of troops is very important.With a quick-response mobile force, not only can the passive situation be turned into an active situation, but also when attacking the opponent, it is unexpected and the enemy is caught off guard.Therefore, from the very beginning of the formation of the defense regiment, he attached great importance to the training of rapid marches.

Hua Fei's training goal of [-] kilometers was also considered.Taking Hefei as the center, looking at the map, the distances to Xuzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Wuhan, and Zhengzhou are all around [-] kilometers.The team can be pulled to any of the above points in a week or less, and its strategic influence is immeasurable.

As for his training mission, He Fei was shocked, which was not at all what he expected.

Near Quanjiao, the sky was already hazy and bright. After a night of rest, the new soldiers of the security regiment were about to start a new day of rapid march after a hasty breakfast.

"Report, young master, Sanhe sent an urgent letter!" Guo Tong, the commander of the guard company, rushed over and handed over a red wax urgent letter.

"Huh?" Hua Fei was amazed, did something happen at home?He quickly opened the letter, and at the first glance, his brows could not help but frown.

The secret scout originally sent to Anqing sent a telegram saying that the new army stationed in Anqing yesterday dispatched the 62nd Army Battalion to Hefei, and the target should be the ancient town of Sanhe.

Could it be that Governor Zhu really couldn't tolerate his little provocation?Hua Fei felt very embarrassed. If the governor of Anhui really couldn't tolerate him and sent troops to arrest him with all his strength, although Hua Fei was not afraid, it would still affect his overall plan after all.When did officials in the late Qing Dynasty become so strong?

But the next piece of news made Hua Fei frowned and relaxed slowly.It turned out that Shanghai sent a telegram, and Kyle had arrived in Shanghai with the machine he ordered, and he and Smith would personally deliver the goods to the door, and settle the final payment with Hua Fei by the way.

"Send the order, the whole regiment marches immediately, aiming at the Sanhe base camp!"

When Hua Fei's guard group appeared in the sight of Hefei City again, it immediately caused another panic.Li Weiyuan, the county magistrate, cursed even more, "Bastard, didn't that bullshit Zhao Zhengyuan report that Hua Lengzi and his security team have left Hefei? He... he's killing the carbine, we've been tricked, we've been tricked! "

As soon as Li Weiyuan finished speaking, a yamen servant rushed in to report.

"Report, my lord, that Hua...Hua Lengzi led his security team away, and headed south back to Sanhe!"

"Ah... left again?" Li Weiyuan's face turned blue and purple, and he gritted his teeth, "The governor has sent a new army to suppress the bandits, this fool, wait for his body to be collected, hmph!"

Gui Danchi, the leader of the 62 standard, was very puzzled. The governor gave him an order without thinking, ordering him to lead more than 600 new troops in his department, and went straight to Sanhe Town, Hefei to arrest a landlord named Hua Fei, and handed him over to him. Hefei county magistrate Li Weiyuan disposed of it.
