New Warlords 1909

Hua Fei was silent for a while, then stepped off the warship, stood on the pier, touched the brass button on his neck, pressed the armed belt around his waist with both hands, and ordered, "Order the first regiment to leave a battalion of soldiers to guard the sailors in custody. .All other new troops, immediately drive to Zhongfumen. Order the gendarmerie to enter Nanjing City and arrest all middle and senior officers!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Hua Fei lead the main force away, Ding Jiang sighed worriedly, "Nonsense, this is nonsense! No matter how strong your arms are, how can you beat your thighs? If you fall out with the central government, you will be the one who suffers! This Huajun Long, when did you become so mindless!"

The captain of the Chutai, Gao Guangzheng, retorted very excitedly, "Captain Ding's words are wrong. Looking at what Commander Hua will do in the future, which one is not incredible, bold and unexpected. But after thinking about it, whether Is it really as impulsive as outsiders say? No, it’s definitely not like that. Commander Hua joined the gendarmerie based on military law and discipline and the theory of the central government. The First Fleet of our Revolutionary Army Navy belongs to the Navy of the Republic of China. Xia Quanbo Leaving the formation without authorization has already violated military discipline and military regulations. What protection does the central government provide? And through this move, Commander Hua will absolutely establish the majesty of military discipline and military law in the army. Needless to say, if anyone dares to violate military discipline in the future, then He has to think about the gendarmerie and what happened to Xia Quanbo today! This is the brilliance of Commander Hua, it's amazing!"

Gao Guangzheng's analysis made people suddenly enlightened.But Ding Jiang still frowned, and said with great concern, "It's just that Commander Hua's move is a bit disregarding the overall situation after all. It will be difficult to win favor with the central government in the future. Besides, whether the gendarmerie can successfully arrest Xia Quanbo depends on the two. Say it!"

The Admiralty Department of the Nanjing Provisional Government, Vice-Minister of the Navy Tang Xiangming was negotiating with Captain Xia Quanbo and other captains about the details of joining the ranks. Suddenly, a guard came in to report, "Report sir, a team of military... military police came outside the house. They said they were enlisted in the First Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army." Commander Hua Fei ordered to arrest Xia Quanbo and other naval captains!"

"What?" Tang Xiangming was startled, his face full of disbelief.

"What!" Xia Quanbo and the others collapsed on the chairs, their faces full of horror and fear.Unexpectedly, even if they were killed, Hua Fei would send a gendarmerie to the Nanjing Navy Department to arrest them!

"How unreasonable!" Tang Xiangming was furious, "He is a commander of the first army, what right does he have to come to our Navy Department to arrest our naval officers. Tell them, this is not Anhui, and I, Tang Xiangming, am not under the control of his first army!"

39 Leng's name is not covered

At the same time, Sun Wen, Song Jiaoren, Huang Xing and others at the residence of the President of the Nanjing Provisional Government heard that Hua Fei had actually led [-] new troops to stop outside Zhongfu Gate, and sent some kind of gendarmerie into the city to arrest some members of the Navy Department. officer.

"This Hua Fei, what the hell is he doing? He is the military and political chief of Anhui, what did he come to Nanjing to arrest the officers of the Navy Department!" Sun Wen was surprised, and hummed angrily.

"It's this fool again!" Huang Xing sighed helplessly when he heard the news. "One day when you see this foolish man, he will sit down and have a good talk with you, then you will be damned!"

"Zai Zhi, I have met this Hua Fei a few times, let me go and see what's going on. I don't think he came to Nanjing from Anhui for no reason, just to arrest a few Navy officers!" Song Jiaoren has a deep understanding of Hua Fei's temper. He led a new army of [-] main forces to arrest the officers of the Admiralty!God knows if he will lead an army to attack the city in a fit of anger after he can't catch anyone!

Hurrying to Zhongfumen, the defender in charge of guarding Zhongfumen is the headquarters of the town army.These people still have fresh memories of the confrontation that happened not long ago. Many people still break out in a cold sweat when they think of the feeling of being targeted by heavy machine guns and having nowhere to hide.Okay, you are arrogant, we can't mess with you, so we can hide!

Close the city gate and shrink under the city wall.We know nothing, see nothing.Whether you are scolding or attacking the city, you don't do our business.

After finally getting the town army to open the city gate, Song Jiaoren ran to meet Hua Fei alone.

"Commander Hua, what are you doing? Ni Sichong's troops of the Qing court are still stationed in Fuyang and Yingshang. You didn't lead your troops to conquer, but brought the main force to Nanjing. What is your intention?" Song Jiaoren saw Hua Fei, couldn't help asking sharply.

Hua Fei stood where he was, and just raised his hand to salute Song Jiaoren, then stared at the city of Nanjing again, and said calmly, "Mr. Song, I am very disappointed in the central government!"

Song Jiaoren was stunned. When others said this sentence, Song Jiaoren would definitely speak righteously, encourage the other party, and even scold him.But from Hua Fei's mouth, the meaning is absolutely different.Who is Hua Fei?He is the military and political chief in charge of a province's military and political affairs. He has nearly ten thousand elite soldiers under his command, and his combat effectiveness is definitely one of the best among the armies of the Republic of China.Reminiscing that he has not sent troops to northern Anhui so far, does that mean?He has two minds?

With Hua Fei's rebellious personality, this is definitely possible.Song Jiaoren immediately calmed down, and said kindly, "Mr. Hua, Song was impulsive earlier, so he apologized to Commander Hua. It's just that Commander Hua suddenly led his troops to Nanjing and wanted to arrest the officers of the Navy Department. I'm afraid... It's unreasonable! As the founding father of the Republic of China, Commander Hua must abide by the law and discipline, so he can set an example for the world!"

"Mr. Song, Mr. Hua, what is the way to govern the army?" Hua Fei turned around, staring at Song Jiaoren and asked suddenly.

"The way to govern the army is to gain it through strictness, and to lose it through lenientness. It's nothing more than that!" Although Song Jiaoren wondered why Hua Fei would ask such a question, he After all, I am not familiar with the military, so I had to borrow a few old sayings to answer.

"What Mr. Song said is right!" Hua Fei smiled and added, "However, I think that a good fighting army must not only have discipline, but also must have laws and strict military discipline. If there is no military law and military discipline, even weapons No matter how good it is, no matter how large the quantity is, it will be of no benefit to the country or the people."

"Mr. Hua's words are very reasonable. Military law and discipline are only for elite soldiers, only for the country, and only for the common people!" Although even Song Jiaoren believed that Hua Fei's actions seemed to be without discipline at all, he still had no respect for the law. Hua Fei's words were greatly praised.

"But now, the six warships of the First Fleet of the Revolutionary Army Navy under our command have left the formation and joined the Navy Department of the Central Government without asking for instructions, without reporting, and without approval. Can Mr. Song tell me, is it true that our Revolutionary Army Doesn’t the Navy’s First Fleet belong to the Central Navy? And they tied up their comrades and threw them into the river. There is no military discipline, no military law, and military law is like a child’s play, how should we deal with it?” Hua Fei changed his tone and shouted angrily.Without waiting for Song Jiaoren to ask carefully, he continued.

"Such officers and soldiers behave badly. As the leader of an army, if I turn a blind eye and indulge in insolence. Then how can the majesty of military law and discipline exist, and how will the army be led? When will we, China, be able to train a disciplined army? A strong army with strict laws and strict laws, brave and good at fighting."

"Mr. Song, why teach me?"

Under Hua Fei's series of questioning, Song Jiaoren was speechless.I knew that Hua Fei would not lead troops to Nanjing for no reason, but there was such a story.That being said, things are quite difficult.Damn the Admiralty, it's not good to offend anyone, why offend this fool!

Song Jiaoren couldn't decide, so he hurried back to the presidential palace.When Sun Wen and Huang Xing heard the ins and outs of the matter, they also fell silent.Strictly speaking, the Admiralty's move was indeed inappropriate.But think about it or useless.You said that the First Fleet of the Revolutionary Army Navy will belong to the commander of the Ministry of the Navy.Now only six warships were transferred, but because Hua Fei didn't get his approval, it's all right now, and they were forced to come to the door to ask for someone.

"Zai Zhi, although the First Army of the Revolutionary Army is not controlled by our revolutionaries, it has made great contributions in the battles of recovering Anqing and Nanjing. I think Hua Fei's character is reckless and rebellious, but he still has a personality. Patriotism and concern for the people, we still recognize and respect the Republic of China. We can only educate and win over such people, and we must not let them join the Beiyang Army in a fit of anger. That would be a great loss for the Republic of China! "Song Jiaoren spoke out to persuade him.

"If the First Army joins Beiyang Yuan Shikai, the revolutionary cause in Anhui will be defeated!" Huang Xing remained silent, and after listening to Song Jiaoren's words, he simply added a sentence.

"When the central government was first established, Wan set the goal of peaceful struggle. If he, Yuan Shikai, is willing to make a revolution, I, the great president, can give up the position of president. Why can't the Ministry of the Navy give up?" Sun Wen finally said.

"Tell the Ministry of the Navy to hand over the officers of the six warships. Also, in my name, plead with Commander Nahua and ask him to deal with these officers lightly. Then tell the Ministry of the Navy not to mess with Hua Fei! As long as He supports the revolution, supports the central government, and some of his rude behavior, bear with it!"

Vice-Minister of the Navy Tang Xiangming received the order from the President, feeling so useless in his heart.I kept lamenting, do you think I have never heard of the name of Hua Lengzi?Do you think I want to provoke this fool?However, there were only a few warships in the Qing court's second Yangtze River Cruise Fleet, and most of them were recruited by Hua Fei.The warships under the direct control of the Ministry of the Navy of the dignified central government are not as good as the naval fleet of a local warlord. You say that he, the deputy chief of the navy, is useless.

Sigh, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect this fool Hua to be so stunned, so stunned that even the president couldn't help it!

"Send them out!" Tang Xiangming waved his hand in frustration, as if he had aged for decades.

When Xia Quanbo and other naval officers were forced into Nanjing City by the gendarmerie, there was a lot of excitement along the road.Countless citizens were moved upon hearing the news and came to watch one after another.My dear, whose soldier is so arrogant, he dares to come to the Navy Department of Nanjing City to arrest a naval officer.What?Gendarmerie?Hua Lengzi's soldiers who enforce military law and discipline!Oh, it turned out to be the army of Anhui Hua Lengzi, so it's no wonder.The onlookers suddenly realized that in this land of China, only that foolish man could make such a jaw-droppingly powerful 'feat'.

When the gendarmerie brought a group of naval officers past the city gate guarded by the town army, the officers and soldiers of the town army shrank their heads.I thought to myself, fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, there was no conflict with Hua Lengzi.You see, even the central government has compromised now.Alas, being a soldier is such an awesome guy, even if I were to die tomorrow, it would still be a pleasure!Unlike now, nesting here, no matter how you think about it, you feel like a turtle.

The successful arrest of Xia Quanbo and others by the gendarmerie had an immeasurable impact on a group of soldiers.For the first time, the arrogant and arrogant soldiers of the new army looked at the gendarmerie with a look of awe.Ding Jiang and other naval officers and soldiers are more than just in awe. Although they have heard countless times about the arrogance and iron fist of Commander Hua in the past.But until today, everyone has finally learned what is arrogant and what is tough.The hot blood, like gasoline being ignited, is burning violently in the blood vessels.

Through this action, Hua Fei not only allowed the gendarmerie to establish absolute majesty in the army, but also made all the revolutionaries nearby understand a truth.Let's go our own way, and the well water does not violate the river water.If you offend me, I will not be afraid.Tell the restless guards under your command to get rid of all distracting thoughts.Since you are under my rule, you must strictly abide by military regulations and discipline.Otherwise, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will not be able to escape the capture of the gendarmerie.

40 Secret Security Team

The Gendarmerie of the First Army of the Revolutionary Army marched bravely into Nanjing City, and the Navy Department arrested the captain of the warship Fei Ting.

The central government has compromised with local real power warlords, so what is the authority of the central government?Where will the local warlords take the revolutionary cause?

The next day, major newspapers across China prominently published the incident of the gendarmerie's arrest of senior naval officers, and many newspapers published commentators' articles.A few people praised Hua Fei's strict military discipline, and revealed that the reason why the First Army of the Revolutionary Army has such a strong combat effectiveness is inseparable from these strict military discipline.However, most commentators condemned Hua Fei's reckless behavior, thinking that he is a warlord who has no central government, runs amok, and takes credit for himself.

No matter how the commentators commented on Hua Fei, when chatting in the streets, teahouses and restaurants, ordinary people all expressed their admiration for Hua Fei's behavior.

What does it mean to be not afraid of heaven and earth, just look at Hua Fei in Anhui, and you will understand.Is he afraid of the Qing court?If he was afraid, he would run to attack Anqing?Will he attack Nanjing?Is he afraid of the ROC government?If he is afraid, he will lead the Revolutionary New Army and the Gendarmerie to Nanjing to arrest senior officers of the Navy Department?Even the interim president can't help him?Thinking about it carefully, it seems that in this land of China, besides not provoking foreigners, Hua Fei really has no one he dare not touch.Bullish, such a bullish image, in the eyes of ordinary people, directly translates into a word, hero!

The turmoil of the Admiralty was passed on through newspapers, and in the eyes of interested people, it directly became useful intelligence and information.That is, the commander of the First Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army in Anhui did not have a harmonious relationship with the central government.On the contrary, there may be some tension.

Back in Hefei, after a trial by the military disciplinary court, the senior officers of the six warships who left the formation without authorization were all dismissed and sentenced to several years in prison.Depending on the circumstances, middle and lower-level military officers may be demoted, dismissed, or punished with salary.All sailors on the six warships will be fined for three months.

Hua Fei didn't have the energy to pay attention to these.As soon as he returned to Hefei, Hua Fei immediately put himself into the bidding work for the firearms and ammunition factory.In his opinion, fierce battles will definitely be inevitable in the future, and whether there is sufficient ammunition supply is absolutely related to the victory or defeat of a war.It is absolutely unreliable to entrust all the arms supply to Americans and other foreigners.

Hua Fei sent special invitation documents to world-renowned firearms and ammunition factories such as Mauser Company of Germany, Ruger Company, FN Company of Belgium, Colt, Remington and Winchester Company of the United States.In addition, well-known foreign newspapers publicly issued tender announcements.At the same time, Mo Haiyu and Cao Yuan were sent to Germany to negotiate with several large munitions factories to help build arsenals.

After the tender announcement is issued, it will take a while before the formal tendering can begin.During this time, Hua Fei continued to perfect his army reorganization mission.The main purpose is to set up the intelligence and statistics office as soon as possible, and at the same time set up a radio training class to enhance the preliminary encryption and decryption technology of Huafei's radio communication team and train future radio technical personnel.

While setting up the intelligence and statistics office, Hua Fei also secretly formed a security investigation team.The main task of this team is to investigate secret and sensitive information, such as the dynamics of various departments in the military, the secret information of the central government and the Anhui provincial government, and other extremely sensitive and important information.Hua Fei doesn't want it to happen again, similar to the navy leaving the formation without authorization.If a new army did not leave the army without authorization, but secretly launched a mutiny under the instigation of the revolutionaries, Hua Fei could hardly imagine the consequences.

The establishment of a security investigation team directly responsible to him is to prevent such things from happening.When choosing the leader of this team, Hua Fei was in a dilemma.Because of the extreme importance of this team, the person in charge not only needs to be competent, but also needs to be extremely loyal to Hua Fei.

Hua San is an excellent candidate, but now he only wants to become a poisonous person, and has no intention of doing other things at all.After thinking about it, Hua Fei suddenly remembered a person, and shouted to Guo Tong outside the door, "Guo Tong, go and find Qin Man, just say I have something to call him!"

Qin Man was the No.1 member of the poisonous special forces expelled by Hua Fei.When he was in the poisonous special forces team, his training performance was very good.And like Fang Rong, they are very few young people who have received new learning.It's just that he is young and energetic, and he is very competitive.After leaping in physical fitness and fighting skills, he couldn't bear the itch, violated Hua Fei's military law, and had a fight with Hua San, and was expelled from the Poison Man Special Forces.

"Young... Commander, you called me?"

When Qin Man appeared in front of Hua Fei again, his temperament had completely changed.Without the impetuousness of youth, without the domineering edges and corners, the whole person becomes calm and mature.It can be said that being expelled from the Poison Man Special Forces dealt him a significant blow and temper.

"I heard that you are studying in the Jagged Military Academy these days? How do you feel?"

"Report, I like the Jagged Military Academy very much. The instructors in the military academy are very knowledgeable and know a lot. Commander, this is the first time I realize that I am ignorant!"
