1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 3178
The attic where Zhu Zhongyun and the others hid was only a hundred feet away from the Qingchun Gate Tower.When the senior officials of Haihan walked up the tower, he could even vaguely see the figures of these targets.

Zhu Zhongyun visually estimated that this distance was already within the effective range of the rifle, but it was really difficult to aim at the target through the small rear sight on the rifle.

This is obviously not the best time to do it, once you miss, there will be no second chance.

Zhu Zhongyun was not impulsive, he knew that later Haihan officials would enter the city in a carriage, and the shooting range would be much closer than at this time, and the killing effect of the five rifle salvos would definitely be much better than the current one.

After all, he has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and for the final success, he does not lack the patience to wait a little longer.

When Shi Diwen's voice came out from the electric speaker, everyone including Zhu Zhongyun was taken aback.Zhu Zhongyun couldn't understand how the voices of senior Haihan officials were amplified to such an extent that tens of thousands of people inside and outside the city could hear them clearly.

Obviously, this is probably one of the many "magic skills" mastered by Hai Han.

Zhu Zhongyun thought he was well-informed, so he was inevitably surprised by the skill of sound transmission for thousands of miles. One can imagine how shocked ordinary people would be when faced with this incomprehensible "magic skill".He had even thought that at this time, there would be a large number of dull villagers in and out of the city who would regard the senior officials of Haihan as gods and prostrate themselves to the ground one after another.

"Crooked ways! Playing tricks!"

Now Zhu Zhongyun can only comfort himself with such an evaluation, but he can't help but think in his heart, if this thing is used to shout during the siege, if the defenders in the city don't plug their ears, they will definitely be distracted by this thing , the effect is probably even better than ordinary weapons.

Shi Diwen’s speech was very short and very official, to the effect that the Executive Committee’s tour of Hangzhou coincides with the [-]th anniversary of the National Day, and Hangzhou will hold many celebration activities. The public is invited to actively participate and enjoy the experience brought by Haihan. Peace and prosperity.

After he finished speaking, he took advantage of the opportunity to invite Tao Donglai to come out and speak a few words for the people gathered inside and outside the city.

As the highest authority in charge of the Haihan Empire, the Haihan Executive Committee has become famous all over the world in recent years. Even the villagers with little knowledge have mostly heard the names of these big names on the Executive Committee.

After Shi Diwen said Tao Donglai's name, there was a burst of cheers inside and outside the city, which made Zhu Zhongyun's heart ache even more.

As Haihan's rule became more and more stable, the situation in Hangzhou was gradually slipping away from Daming's control, and the aspirations of the people were fully revealed at this moment.

If ordinary people start to consider themselves Haihan nationals, then it will be much more difficult for Ming to take back this area.Thinking of this, Zhu Zhongyun felt that the mission he shouldered was of great significance.

If it succeeds today, there may be a chance to interrupt Haihan's national fortune. If not, the scene like Hangzhou may soon appear in other cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

The content of Tao Donglai's speech was more straightforward. He took this opportunity to announce three things in public.

One is that Shi Diwen was elected to the executive committee, and will be a member of the executive committee in the next five years to participate in the governance of the country.

For the officialdom in the East China Sea region, this is undoubtedly a great benefit.The so-called one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, after Shi Diwen takes power, he must give priority to promoting his own people, and there will inevitably be a group of local officials who will have the opportunity to rise to the top.

Second, during the celebration of the [-]th anniversary of the National Day, in addition to various celebrations held by the people, the government will also hold a military parade at the newly built Victory Square by the West Lake.

The military parade can be regarded as one of Haihan's traditional celebrations, but it is still a new thing for the local people.It is said that in addition to the local garrisons in the East China Sea region, the troops participating in this military parade also have troops from overseas regions, which is also a rare spectacle.

The third thing is the relocation of the capital to Hangzhou that everyone is most concerned about.

Tao Donglai announced that the plan to relocate the capital will enter the implementation phase from now on, and it is estimated that it will take three to five years to complete the northward relocation of various government offices, including the Executive Committee.

Hangzhou will gradually become the real capital of Haihan, while Sanya will continue to serve as the central city of the South China Sea.The nine counties of Qiantang, Renhe, Lin'an, Yuhang, Yuqian, Changhua, Fuyang, Xincheng, and Yangong under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou will replace Hainan Island and become the Gyeonggi region in the future.

Although this news had been circulated among the people for a long time, it was announced by Tao Donglai himself at this time, so the meaning is naturally very different.The people inside and outside the city burst into cheers, celebrating the good news together.

From the center of a province to the center of a country, the promotion of this status will bring great changes to Hangzhou, and the local people are undoubtedly happy to see the results.

However, this was definitely bad news for Zhu Zhongyun, who was also a listener.

One of the main purposes of his planning and organizing this assassination operation was to try his best to prevent Haihan from moving his capital to Hangzhou, so as to prevent Haihan from targeting the remnants of Ming Dynasty.

However, Tao Donglai's public speech has already set the tone for moving the capital, and if he takes action against the executive committee at this time, he does not know whether he can shake this decision.

But at this time, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.Zhu Zhongyun knew that if he succeeds, there is still a possibility of changing the situation, if he backs down, then Daming will have no chance to counterattack Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Seeing the tens of thousands of people cheering outside the city, everyone in the executive committee was also very happy.If the relocation of the capital is a major event related to the fate of the country, if it can get the broad support of the people, the process will naturally go much smoother.

After the speech, the welcome ceremony at the Qingchunmen was considered to have come to an end.Everyone got off the tower, boarded the carriage, and marched toward the city along Qingchun Road.

The crowd watching on both sides of the road also took this opportunity to see the true faces of the senior officials of the Executive Committee.

Zhu Zhongyun and his men had already entered the fighting state, set up their rifles at the window of the attic, and pointed their muzzles at the nearby streets, waiting for the carriage of the Haihan Executive Committee to arrive at this section of the road, and immediately started fighting.

Zhu Zhongyun finally waited until the carriages with the two-color flags of Haihan and Han appeared in his field of vision. According to the plan, their first bullets would shoot at the first carriage at the same time, then push the bullets into the chamber, and shoot the second carriage together. The third carriage... waited until it caused chaos, and then quickly withdrew from this place.

The opportunity was fleeting, Zhu Zhongyun saw the opportunity and issued an order: "Aim at the target!"

Everyone had practiced thousands of times before this, and immediately aimed at the first carriage.

No matter who the passengers in the carriage were, if they were not killed, they would lose half their lives if they were shot by five rifles.

"Fire!"

Following Zhu Zhongyun's order, several gunmen pulled the trigger together.
