11 Anqing New Army
Hefei, Luzhou Prefecture, County Government.
"Report, sir, something is not good, then... the young master of the Hua family led another thousand security team to the direction of Hefei!"
Li Weiyuan was drinking tea. When he heard this, he was so scared that his hands were shaking. The teacup was shaking, his tone was trembling, and his mouth began to whine in a unclear way, "What...what? What...he...what else is he here? Fanku was emptied by that bastard. What...what else is he here to Hefei?"
"Sir, according to the spies' reward, they brought ten heavy machine guns this time!"
Li Weiyuan slumped on the chair, my mother, with ten heavy machine guns, he really looked down on the patrol camp in Hefei. After the robbery of the vassal treasury, could it be that he would rob the county government this time? Li Weiyuan looked at the heavy rain outside the house and felt that it was dark. He almost fainted. He struggled and insisted, "Hurry, go and notify Ji Guankai and ask him to take people to guard the city gates strictly, and let the Hua family come in and punish them severely!... If you are in a hurry, you will say... Hefei is in an emergency, and it is urgent!"
When Ji Guangen received Hua Fei's army to attack Hefei again, he brought ten heavy machine guns. Without saying a word, he ordered his family to pack their luggage immediately and try to leave before this Erlangzi attacked Hefei. Defence? Go to hell. Only relying on the old soldiers of the patrol battalion and the patrol battalion was not enough for the appetite of the heavy machine gun for a few minutes. The vassal treasury was empty, so there was no need to think about it that the greedy Hua Langzi must have the target of the county government and the city.
Many prominent gentry in Hefei City, after hearing the news, closed the door of the mansion and asked the servants to protect their homes. The scene when the Huafei Defense Corps entered the city last time was vivid in their minds. Who knows if this Chinese boy is addicted to rob money? Who is sure that he will not stare at the big families in the city this time?
The heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, but instead became heavier. Through the thick rain screen, you could only see the scene a few hundred meters ahead. As the whole city was on guard, all the soldiers of the patrol battalions on the city wall were sent to monitor every move outside the city in the rain.
"Look, Young Master Hua's security regiment is here!" Unlike the officials and gentry in the city, these low-ranking patrol battalions soldiers had a sense of admiration for Hua Fei. Last time Hua Fei entered Hefei, many soldiers who cooperated with the operation were indeed rewarded with many benefits. Moreover, Hefei is so large that many of the new soldiers recruited by the Hua Fei Security regiment were still related to them. If the magistrate had not issued a death order, they really wanted to open the city gate again and let Hua Fei and his security regiment come to another one-day tour of Hefei.
"Huh? Where is Mr. Hua going?"
Many soldiers from the patrol battalions were lying on the city wall, staring wide-eyed as Hua Fei's new army passed quickly from Hefei City, without any intention of stopping.
"Does it be that Hefei has no oil or water? Going to other places to make money?" The soldiers of the patrol battalion did not regard Hua Fei as an enemy. Instead, someone laughed jokingly.
"It is possible, send someone to notify the magistrate. Hu San, you go out of the city with me and follow me to see what's going on?" A young patrol battalion soldier shouted, put down a rope. He and Hu San both walked down the city and chased towards the direction of the departure of the security regiment.
Of course, Hua Fei was not addicted to "robbery". The quota of the 2,000 Security Regiment has been fully recruited, but there are still a large number of strong men coming to join the country after hearing the news. In order to strengthen the initiative of the new army of the Security Regiment, Hua Fei formulated a training and assessment system. All members of the Security Regiment, whether ordinary soldiers or officers, will be automatically dismissed once the assessment results fail more than three times!
This heavy rain was the best environment for evaluating the training results of the new army. So Hua Fei personally led the team to assess subjects and marched 600 kilometers a week for a marching 600 kilometers. Hua Fei, once a soldier, knew very well that in this era of underdeveloped transportation, the mobility of the troops was very important. With a quick response, the mobile force can not only turn passive situations into active situations, but also accidentally catch the enemy off guard when attacking the opponent. Therefore, since he formed a security regiment, he attached great importance to the training of marching.
Huafei's 600-kilometer training target is also considered. With Hefei as the center, the distance to Xuzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Wuhan and Zhengzhou is around 600 kilometers. The team can be pulled to any point above in a week or even less, and its strategic influence is immeasurable.
As for his training task, Hefei was shocked, and it was completely beyond his expectations.
It was already dazzling near Quanjiao. After a night of rest, the new army of the security regiment was about to start a new day after a hurry to finish breakfast.
"Report, Young Master, Sanhe sends an urgent letter!" Guard company commander Guo Tong rushed over and handed over a red wax urgent document.
"Huh?" Hua Fei Daqi, did something happen at home? He quickly opened the letter. When Chu glanced at it, his brows couldn't help but frowned.
It turned out that the secret scout sent to Anqing sent a telegram saying that the new army stationed in Anqing yesterday dispatched the 62nd-Based First Battalion Army to head towards Hefei, with the target of Sanhe Ancient Town.
Could it be that Governor Zhu really can't tolerate his small provocation? Hua Fei felt embarrassed. If the Governor of Anhui really couldn't tolerate him and sent troops to arrest him with all his might, although Hua Fei was not afraid, it still had an impact on his overall plan. When did the officials in the late Qing Dynasty become so strong?
However, the next news made Hua Fei frown and slowly relax. It turned out that in Shanghai, Kyle had already arrived in Shanghai with the machine he ordered. He would deliver the goods to his door soon with Smith and settle the final payment with Hua Fei.
"Transfer the order, the whole regiment immediately marched and targeted Sanhe Base Camp!"
When Hua Fei's security team appeared in Hefei City's sight again, it immediately caused another chaos. The magistrate Li Weiyuan even cursed, "Bastard, isn't that shit Zhao Zhengyuan reciprocate that Hua Langzi and his security team have been away from Hefei? He... He is killing a shot. We have been trapped, we have been trapped!"
As soon as Li Weiyuan finished speaking, a yamen runs in to report.
"Report, sir, Hua... Hua Langzi led his security team away and headed south to Sanhe!"
"Ah... are you leaving again?" Li Weiyuan's face turned green and purple, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The governor has sent a new army to suppress the bandits. Hua Langzi, wait for the corpse to be collected, hum!"
Gui Danjian, the sixty-two-standard tube leader, was very puzzled. The governor gave him an order, ordering him to lead more than 600 new troops from his troops to Sanhe Town, Hefei to arrest a landlord named Hua Fei and hand it over to Hefei magistrate Li Weiyuan for disposal.
The governor neither explained why he was arrested nor how to arrest him. Strangely, the other party seemed to be a well-known gentry in the Sanhe family, whose father was once a veteran of the Huai Army.
Besides, even if Hua Fei violated the criminal law, isn’t there a patrol battalion in Hefei? Why did he use his new army soldiers?
With a heart full of doubts, Gui Danqi finally led his troops to the outside of Sanhe Hua's house. But when he saw the defensive facilities around the Hua's house and thousands of soldiers who were training in the defense regiment, when he saw the Hua's family coming in and out, mixed with countless foreigners, Gui Danqi almost hesitated and immediately turned around, without even saying hello, and quickly retreated to Anqing.
Mom, this is not a security regiment, with two thousand people, and its weapons and equipment seem to be better than Anqing's new army. With a simple sweep, there are at least a dozen Maxim heavy machine guns and human meat grinders. Such powerful force, let alone let alone let him arrest Hua Fei. Even if the governor sent more than 4,000 new army in Anqing's sixth battalion, it would be impossible to take Hua Fei.
