In the temporary military camp outside Anqing City, Hua Fei's reception room seemed particularly quiet. Hua Fei, who was drinking tea leisurely in military uniform, formed a sharp contrast with the anxious temporary government officials of the guest seat.
"In order to unify the military and political affairs of Anhui, the Provisional Government has begun to abolish military and political branches in various places. For this matter, we worked hard for several months and held months of consultation with the military governors of various places. Most places have agreed to abolish the branch office and reorganize the civilian army! The Chinese army now personally led the army south to Anqing and reorganized the civilian army in Wuhu, Tongling, Ma'anshan and other southern Anhui prefectures and counties, which is not necessary!"
When Sun Yujun heard that Hua Fei was going south to reorganize the troops of the military and political branches in various places to complete the military and political unification of Anhui, he immediately cursed in his heart. You are just a military and political chief. The Anqing Provisional Government has been doing these things for a long time. Why are you busy with your idleness? Your actions are obviously going back on your word, and you have shortcomings and want to continue to expand your territory!
Although he thought in his heart, he could not say this. There was no way, his hands were insufficient. When facing a straight-forward martial artist like Hua Langzi, he really had no choice but to smile and persuade him.
"Governor Sun, as the military and political chief of the Anhui Provisional Government, Hua still has a responsibility for the reorganization of the army! Now Mr. Sun resigns from the post of interim president, and the Senate elects Beiyang Yuan Shikai as the interim president. The central government has changed, and the situation in Anhui is still a mess. This is extremely unfavorable to our revolutionary cause! Hua did not think of this, and was always uneasy. So he decided to lead the army south to unify the military and political affairs as soon as possible for Anhui to do his best to live up to my wishes!"
Hua Fei's Tai Chi technique made Sun Yujun and others almost vomit blood and died. The words were hidden in the cotton, which contained endless hints! First, as the military and political chief, he did have this right to reorganize the troops in Anhui. Another meaning is that I led the army south and implemented the military and political unification of Anhui as soon as possible. That's my wish. It's unreasonable for you to intervene. As for whether Hua Fei is for the revolutionary cause, everyone knows it!
"Hua Fei!" Secretary-General Han Yan was finally angry by Hua Fei's attitude, and stood up and shouted, "Don't forget that you are not a revolutionary. Whether the revolutionary cause is successful has nothing to do with you! Don't think that you are not taking the Anhui Provisional Government or Governor Sun seriously because of your contribution to the restoration of Anqing Nanjing!"
"Governor Sun believes that you have made contributions to the revolution and entrusted the entire Luzhou Prefecture to you. But what about you, how many things have you done in Luzhou Prefecture over the past few months? Do you know how many noble families of Wangshen come to Anqing to complain? It was Governor Sun who helped you suppress it! Now that the matter in Luzhou Prefecture has not calmed down, you come to Anqing again. What do you want? Do you still have a revolutionary government in your eyes? Do you want to rebel?"
Han Yan's words were very sensitive, but they expressed the thoughts of all the revolutionary temporary government officials present. Everyone looked at Hua Fei and waited for his reply.
Hua Fei seemed a little surprised, but he did not get angry because of this. Instead, he smiled and said, "Secretary-General Han is serious. As a soldier in the Republic of China, Hua certainly puts the country and the people first! How could he do that stupid thing to commit rebellion!"
"Hua is busy with military affairs, so he will leave first. If you are interested in this temporary military camp, you might as well stay for a visit. Guo Tong, you will lead the security of Governor Sun and others. If you are willing to stay at noon, go and prepare a meal!"
After Hua Fei finished speaking, he was about to stand up and leave, obviously he didn't want to bother you here!
"Hua Fei!" Han Yan was furious and pointed at Hua Fei's nose from afar and shouted, "If Governor Sun ordered you to lead your army to withdraw to Luzhou, would you obey the order?"
Hua Fei stood there, stayed for a while, and replied softly, "Soldiers, it is their duty to obey orders!"
After leaving this sentence, Hua Fei left expressionlessly. He made all the government officials so angry that they were so angry that they really wanted to curse. Grandma, what is there to visit in your army camp? You pretend to keep us for dinner. You are so angry that who can still have an appetite? It is uncomfortable to be ignored by others, but Hua Fei is so blatantly ignored and sent a guard company to monitor it. How can a temporary government official bear it!
"Governor, please give an order to order him to Hua Fei back to Luzhou. I will see if he obeys the order or resists the order and refuses!" Han Yan walked to Sun Yujun and said angrily.
"He just doesn't obey, what can you do with him?" Hong Siliang, a constitutional gentleman who had been silent, spoke.
"I...we will telegraph the Nanjing Army Department to remove his post as military and political chief!"
"Nanjing? The current interim president is Yuan Shikai from Beijing!" Hong Siliang sighed. He had to say that he was obviously hated and annoyed by Hua Fei, but in a short period of time, you can't do anything to him. The gun was held in someone else's hand, and he didn't point the gun at us, which was good!
Han Yan stopped talking. Yes, the current central government has changed. The interim president is no longer Mr. Sun Wen, but Yuan Shikai from the north. Will Yuan Shikai deal and dismiss Hua Fei because he did not obey the orders of the revolutionaries? Not to mention Yuan Shikai, even the original Nanjing government would probably think twice about this decision! At this point, Han Yan deeply realized how much incomprehensible information contained in Hua Fei's words that the central government had changed.
"Go back and discuss!" Sun Yujun stood up with a gloomy face and left first. Hong Siliang was right. Yuan Shikai was elected as the interim president. It can be foreseeable that the political situation in China in the entire country may undergo major changes again.
Sun Yujun believes in Hua Fei's words, soldiers take obeying orders as their duty! Sun Yujun also believes that if he really ordered Hua Fei to withdraw back to Luzhou, Hua Fei might lead his army to leave! But who could have predicted that if he did this, would he be so polite and so peaceful when he led his army south next time.
"Hey, everyone, I won't visit. I'll order the kitchen camp to prepare lunch!" Guo Tong shouted with a loud voice when he saw everyone leaving, and he shouted in great sarcastic and unsincerely. He hummed Han Yan and others away in anger. The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. There was such a barbaric commander, even these mere guards became so arrogant!
Before Sun Yat-sen dismissed the interim president and Yuan Shikai officially took office as president, this time gap was an excellent opportunity for Hua Fei to expand his territory. Hua Fei did not remember how long it would take, but Yuan Shikai finally relied on launching a mutiny and stayed in Beijing on the excuse to officially take office as the interim president.
In other words, during this period, the land of China was in a semi-political vacuum period. If he could quickly control cities such as Anqing, Tongling, Wuhu, and Ma'anshan in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, then after Yuan Shikai took office, his weight in Yuan Shikai's eyes would undoubtedly increase, and he would increase his bargaining chips for seeking profits.
