Chapter 286: For China
readx; In order to appease the people, and more importantly, to give confidence to the Nationalist Army, Chen Jingyun made a public speech on 3 April, in which he talked about the various favorable policies of the Kuomintang and the Socialist Party, as always, talked about the various favorable policies of the Kuomintang and then talked about how the Beiyang Army betrayed the country, and repeated the old saying that the Nationalist Army is capable and confident in ensuring the people's happy life. Chen Jingyun www.biquge.info who has gone through many speeches, has become more and more like a qualified politician, and his words are full of temptation, drawing a big pie for the people, especially the young people, to become fanatical.
"The Kuomintang is, will be, and will always be the pillar of China, and we will contribute all our strength to the country and the nation at all costs." Chen Jingyun's face looked a little hideous, and he shouted: "Any enemy who stands in the way of our rise in Huaxia will be ruthlessly wiped out!" ”
Finally, in Chen Jingyun's sentence: "Long live the National Army, long live the National Socialist Party, long live China!" The crowd cheered, and many young people who came to listen to the speech, especially the students, shouted long live China one by one.
And in the crowd, a young man wearing an ordinary student uniform looked at Chen Jingyun on the stage, he was different from the young students around him, he did not show the slightest fanatical expression, he thought he looked at the stage very calmly, and then looked around, because it was Chen Jingyun who witnessed the speech, there were a large number of Chen Jingyun guards on the scene, and although Chen Jingyun himself was speaking on the stage, there were also several guards wearing special uniforms around him, and the podium was flat on the left and right, and it was impossible to approach at all. It is also impossible to say about shooting with a rifle.
The young man looked around, then looked around and quietly withdrew from the crowd, then leaned against the corner of the wall and dug his hand at it, and then took out a small box containing a black cloth. Using his figure to block the light from behind, he opened the box, which contained a revolver with bullets already full. He took the pistol in his hand, tried it, and put it in his arms.
At this time, Chen Jingyun's speech had ended and he quickly left the field under the protection of the guards, but the direction of leaving the field was a cross line with the direction of the young man. The two walked forward like two intersecting rays, and the young man shouted Long live China like the crowd around him while walking, in fact, not only him, but many young people also walked in the same direction as him, walking in the direction of Chen Jingyun, the difference is that he walked faster and the route was straighter.
As the flow of people moved forward, the young man's figure was very dexterous, swimming in the flow of people like a fish in water, and it didn't take long to squeeze to the front of the crowd, and at this time his face was already red, and he shouted Long live China, long live the National Socialist Party, and even shouted Long live Chen Jingyun with a few people. If it weren't for the gun in his arms, he would have behaved like a standard zealot of a National Socialist.
Chen Weitong walked two steps in front of Chen Jingyun, his eyes always scanning the surrounding crowd back and forth, observing possible potential dangers. As the captain of Chen Jingyun's guard, Chen Weitong knows how big his responsibility is, and with it comes huge pressure. He knew very well that there were many, many people who wanted his own commander's life, not to mention those small miscellaneous fish who had a grudge to take revenge, and more importantly, to guard against the assassination of Chen Jingyun by the Beiyang side. In fact, the assassination of Chen Jingyun by the Beiyang side has never stopped, it has already begun at the time of the war in Guangzhou, and when the war in southern Jiangsu was in progress, Zhao Bingjun's people organized four or five assassinations in a row, and Chen Jingyun also carried out one after returning to Fuzhou, but these people were arrested by Chen Cai's Military Investigation Bureau before they could see Chen Jingyun's face, and after being arrested, they didn't need to ask who was behind the instigation, and they were shot directly, because they didn't need to ask to know that it was the Beiyang side. Previously, the Military Investigation Bureau even found Zhao Bingjun's intimate secret letters to the assassination and the money order for remittance, but there was not much difference between having evidence and not having evidence, and Chen Jingyun didn't even bother to condemn it.
Because assassination is not only in Beiyang, but also in the Nationalist Army, Chen Cai's Military Investigation Bureau also organized several assassinations of Yuan Shikai, but they were all unsuccessful. The Beiyang Army and the National Army are very similar, that is, whether it is Chen Jingyun or Yuan Shikai, they both control absolute power, but they do not have a good inheritance system, Yuan Shikai has not determined who will be his heir until now, but continues to use a balanced approach, so that Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang and even Cao Kun and others will fight. As soon as Yuan Shikai died, Beiyang was completely torn apart. And the same as the National Army, Chen Jingyun is so young, but he doesn't plan to get an heir under him and wait for when he will die, and the generals under the National Army who have no clear heir are also various factions, if Chen Jingyun dies, Ma Cheng, Shen Gang, Lin Zhaomin, Lin Chengkun These people will not be able to convince the public, Yuan Fang and others will not be able to, and those civil officials will not be able to do it, and it is certain that they will be divided. It was in this situation that both sides tried to assassinate each other, but so far they have not succeeded.
Although these things were not made public, the threat of assassination is getting more and more serious, Chen Jingyun has greatly reduced his public activities, and this time the situation is tense, and he has to show it to boost morale and reassure the people. For the sake of safety, the venue is a specially chosen open square, there is not a single house a few hundred meters away, and there are also a large number of guards around it, and the accompanying guards are all dispatched, and all the people who come to listen to the speech have been checked, and they are not allowed to carry guns and weapons, and knives are not allowed. When giving a speech on the stage, in addition to Chen Jingyun himself, he also had several members of the accompanying guards around him, all of which were used to block bullets at any time.
However, there is a loophole in everything, and now there is a young man not far from Chen Jingyun shouting the slogan of expanding the heat, while secretly calculating the shooting distance.
Chen Weitong's eyes scanned around, paying attention to even the slightest possible danger. Chen Weitong has been the captain of Chen Jingyun's guard for a year, and although serving as Chen Jingyun's guard captain proves that he has won Chen Jingyun's great trust, the pressure is also very high.
Chen Weitong is Chen Weihua's younger brother, these two brothers are a special case in the national army, there are many relatives who are officials in the national army, and there are also father and son who are in the same battle, but the two brothers are in high positions and are the only examples of Chen Jingyun's trust. Chen Weihua is one of the four officers of the second battalion, Xinhai was already Chen Jingyun's henchman before, after the Fuzhou Uprising, he became Chen Jingyun's absolute descendant, and he quickly climbed to the position of the commander of the first division like a rocket, at that time he was a more prominent general of the National Army than Shen Gang, but unfortunately the first battle in southern Jiangsu was planted in front of Tang Tianxi, although he temporarily retired, but not long after he was used as the director of the Strategy Department, it can be seen that Chen Weihua did not lose Chen Jingyun's trust.
Even many people speculated that this was inseparable from Chen Weitong, who was the captain of Chen Jingyun's guards, and said that Chen Weitong interceded with Chen Jingyun. Chen Weitong has been serving as the captain of Chen Jingyun's guards, Chen Jingyun handed over his surname to him, which shows his trust in him, when the Southeast Xuanfu Embassy was formed, Chen Jingyun formally established the 'Attendant Military Attache Office', transferred his own guards into it, and let Chen Weitong serve as the chief military attache of the attendants, with the rank of colonel. Although this military rank is not high, just a colonel, but Chen Weitong's status in the national army system is very special, based on Chen Jingyun's trust he is much more important than most major generals, even if Yuan Fang saw him, he did not put the score of a lieutenant general, but affectionately called 'Brother Chen'. Speaking of Chen Jingyun's personal trust, Chen Cai of the Investigation Bureau must be the first, then Yu Shifeng of the Secretariat, and then this Chen Weitong. These three people follow Chen Jingyun's ass every day, and what they hear and see cannot be compared even between Yuan Fang and Shen Gang, who is trusted by Shen Jingyun.
And Chen Weitong's special status also made many colleagues in the National Army look down on him, especially after Chen Weihua returned as the director of the Strategy Department, there were many ugly things to say about their brothers within the National Army, saying that they were favored ministers and bewitched commanders for personal gain. I even heard that some people suggested to Chen Jingyun that Chen Weitong was too condescending to stay in the guards, and that he could follow Chen Kui and Chen Cai's precedents and be transferred to the army or other places.
In the face of these duties, Chen Weitong is under a lot of pressure, and because of his special surname, he can't go to scold and refute people or anything like that, so he can only stuff his heart. At the same time, he attaches more importance to his own responsibilities, he understands very well that if Chen Jingyun has even a little accident, his future will come to an end, and he can't even save his life.
Therefore, every time Chen Jingyun goes out, he personally follows to make the most perfect security work.
It's just that no matter how perfect the security is, there are loopholes, the reason why there was no problem before, is that no one found it and no one took advantage of it, but now, the sharp-eyed Chen Weitong saw a young man in front of him, although he was fanatically shouting Long live China, long live Chen Jingyun, but his left hand was hanging down.
Chen Weitong was vigilant and planned to move his body in the direction of Chen Jingyun, but as soon as he moved, the young man in front of him in a student uniform had already raised his left hand, the revolver showed the muzzle of the black hole, and the slogan he shouted had changed: "Long live China's reunification!" ”
And then he flatly pulled the trigger!
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out in the sky like thunder, and the blood gushed out like plum blossoms in the winter was blooming with dazzling brilliant colors.
The young man "For China" showed resoluteness, ignoring the crowd around him that had begun to panic, and even more so the guards who were urgently pulling out their guns and pointing their guns at him.
"Bang!" The second gunshot followed the first, and a thin cloud of green smoke was already coming out of the muzzle! At the same time as the gunshots rang out, another flower formed by blood bloomed in the winter day!
"You must die!" Without pause, the young man fired a third shot at the front!
"Bang!" After the third gunshot, followed by a dense burst of gunfire, the young man's body was instantly covered with bullet holes, the whole person was hit by the impact of the bullet and fell backwards, and then fell heavily to the ground, the revolver in his hand also broke away, the young man opened his eyes, he was shot a full dozen times, he did not immediately lose his breath, hissing breathing in his throat, and muttered words that no one could hear:
"Long live China's reunification!
