    It has been three months since the last trip to Taiyuan, and Fang Hua has also returned to Guisui from Taiyuan.  Just after the New Year, the grassland in Guisui was still covered with a thick layer of white snow. The winter outside the customs was very cold. Because Fang Hua could not bear the cold, he hid in Su Xiaorou's room and chatted privately with the beauty.

    "Sir, He Zhitou from Qinghualing is here with someone." Yang Zhi reported through the door.

    Fang Hua inside the house was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately stood up and came to the door and asked, "Where are they now?"

    "Leader He Zhi led several leaders into the city first. The large army behind is still about twenty or thirty miles away from Suiyuan, and they will arrive in half a day." Yang Zhi replied.

    "Great, let's go pick them up." Fang Hua said with a happy face. In order to expand the army before leaving Taiyuan, Hua sent people to inform He Zhiyi who was staying in Qinghualing to rush to Suiyuan to prepare.  Change it into an official army to strengthen its own strength.  However, Qinghualing has been under construction for many years and has a foundation. It is not easy to transfer the entire area. It was not until today that He Zhicai arrived with a large force.

    "Xinghua, put on this clothes first." When Fang Hua was about to leave, Su Xiaorou rushed over with a fox fur coat. She knew that Fang Hua was a little afraid of the cold and was worried that he would catch cold, so she hurriedly left  He took a coat from the bedside and put it on Fang Hua.

    "It's so warm, thank you!" Fang Hua was moved in his heart, gently squeezed Su Xiaorou's little hand, and said softly.

    Seeing that Yang Zhi and several other guards were still there, Su Xiaorou blushed slightly and said softly: "You still have something to do, so hurry up and get there."

    Fang Hua knew that now was not the time for affection between children, so he nodded, and rushed to the gate of Dutong Mansion with Yang Zhi and others to greet He Zhi and others.

    As soon as Fang Hua and others arrived at the door, He Zhi and several other leaders from Qinghualing Village arrived. When they saw Fang Hua waiting at the door in person, they were surprised and hurriedly jumped off their horses and rushed to Fang Hua.  In front of him, he said excitedly: "Brother Fang Hua, how dare you trouble yourself to greet us in person?"

    Seeing He Zhi, who had been separated for several years, Fang Hua stepped forward and gave him a friendly punch, pretending to be angry and said: "Why are you pretending to be polite to me? Don't you plan to recognize me as your big brother?"

    He Zhi said with a bright face: "How could it be? Even in the next life, the next life, as long as Brother Fang Hua is willing, I, He Zhi, will definitely follow you without saying a word."

    Fang Hua stepped forward and hugged He Zhi, and said movedly: "Good brother, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

    The group of people came to the living room of the Dutong Mansion. Fang Hua sat on the main seat. The first person to move next was naturally He Zhi, followed closely by Liu Zhengyun, Zhao Pengfei, Guo Yunhan, and Yang Lichen. They and Fang Hua  Naturally, his relationship was not as good as that of He Zhi, and his status was also relatively low, so he sat quietly on the chair and listened to Fang Hua chatting with He Zhi.

    "I originally wanted to let you come over before the year, and we would spend the New Year together in Suiyuan, but I didn't expect that Qinghualing Village has a big business, and it has been postponed until now. When you come here this time, Qinghualing Village is full of people.  Have the arrangements been made?" Fang Hua asked several people with a smile.

    He Zhi smiled and said: "Qinghualing has developed well in the past few years. The village has been expanded several times, and the relationship with the surrounding people is also very good. After receiving your order from Brother Fang Hua, we organized the transfer, but there are people in the village  Many items that were difficult to move had to be given to the surrounding people, which wasted time and has been delayed until now."

    Fang Hua nodded when he heard this. What He Zhi and others did was good. Instead of burning those items, they might as well give them to the people around them to win people's hearts. It doesn't matter even if it takes a little time.  So Fang Hua praised: "You are doing the right thing. You can think of using things that cannot be moved to win people's hearts. It shows that you have matured a lot in the past few years."

    "Haha, we are all a little embarrassed when Brother Fang Hua praises us like this." He Zhi scratched his head and said.

    Fang Hua smiled and said: "You deserve this. By the way, I reminded you to pay attention to the hidden march. Didn't you attract anyone's attention along the way?"

    "Brother Fang Hua, don't worry. When we set off from Qinghualing, we were divided into several small groups to act separately. We didn't gather again until we arrived at Datong Prefecture. Now it's freezing cold and we are all wearing ordinary civilian clothes.  , it won¡¯t attract anyone¡¯s attention.¡± This time it was Zhao Pengfei who was sitting in the back who answered. He was the one who suggested the dispersed march method, so he reported to Fang Hua with some pride.

    "That's good. You are my secret power. Don't expose it easily unless absolutely necessary." Fang Hua said with a serious face.

    He ZhiHe asked with some doubts: "Brother Fang Hua, why did you ask us to rush to Suiyuan?" He Zhi knew that Fang Hua had an escape route left by Qinghualing Village, so He Zhi and others have been working hard in the past few years.  He Zhi and others were very confused.

    Fang Hua naturally knew the doubts of He Zhi and others. When he left He Zhi and others to run Qinghualing Village, he did intend to leave a way out for himself. However, after several years of development, Fang Hua believed that he had certain  The foundation of the army no longer needed that retreat. At the same time, in order to strive for greater benefits in the upcoming Revolution of 1911, Fang Hua continued to expand his army, and then summoned He Zhi and others from Qinghualing.

    "First tell me how many people you brought from Qinghualing Village." Fang Hua did not immediately answer He Zhi's question, but asked him a question that he was concerned about.

    He Zhi grinned first, and then replied with some pride: "Before we set off from Qinghualing, we eliminated some old and young people, leaving about 3,500 young and strong people, 2,000 of whom passed by.  They have fought some battles and have combat experience. Although the remaining 1,500 people have not seen blood, they have also undergone some simple training."

    The number of people actually reached 3,500. Fang Hua looked at He Zhi and others with surprise, and said happily: "That's great. With these 3,500 people, I am more confident."

    "I'm a little confused about what I'm sure of!" He Zhi said somewhat depressed.

    Fang Hua was in a good mood, and laughed and said: "Don't be so anxious, I will tell you in detail when I find time. Now I want to expand the army, and I will hold a military meeting later, and you can come together to participate."

    After about half an hour, several military officers from nearby Guisui arrived at Dutong Mansion. Zhao Yuan, Zhao Fei, Shen Feng and others were very familiar with He Zhi, Liu Zhengyun, Zhao Pengfei and others, and they talked to each other when they met.  Say hello, and also introduce the newly joined Huang Mingcheng.

    Seeing that the people had almost arrived, Fang Hua started to get into the topic and said: "This time I called everyone together, mainly because the troops of He Zhi who stayed in Qinghualing were transferred to Guisui. There are about 3,500 of them.  , it just so happens that we now have a large territory under our jurisdiction and do not have many troops, so I plan to expand the army. This expansion will mainly focus on the troops from Qinghualing and expand to seven battalions. He Zhi, Liu Zhengyun, Zhao Pengfei, Guo Yunhan  , Yang Lichen, you five will serve as battalion commanders, and the command commanders of the remaining two battalions are temporarily vacant. A drill will be organized in three months, and the sentry officers with outstanding performance will be promoted to commanders."

    Fan Yi asked with some doubts: "Have you notified the governor's office about this expansion? Do the officials in Taiyuan agree to our large-scale expansion?"

    "I don't plan to report this expansion to the governor's office, and at the same time, we have to try our best to conceal our strength so that others will think that we are still the previous five thousand people." Fang Hua said lightly.

    Huang Mingcheng was shocked when he heard this, and said with some worry: "My lord, we will expand the army to seven battalions. The food and salary expenses for these seven battalions are quite a lot. Although our finances in Guisui have gradually increased, we still cannot afford so much at once."  Come the money.¡±

    "Brother Bingzhi, don't worry. Gui Sui is not responsible for the food and salary of these seven battalions. I will pay for them personally." Fang Hua said with a smile.

    The Year of Xinhai has arrived, and the Wuchang Uprising is not far away. Next, we will enter a new era. Only with an army on hand can we exert our strength in this era. Now Fang Hua is not short of money. In order to be able to fight in Xinhai  To gain more benefits from the revolution, Fang Hua plans to support the army with his own money.
