Chapter 3178

The attic where Zhu Zhongyun and others were hiding was only more than a hundred feet away from the Qingchun Gate Tower. When Haihan's senior officials walked onto the tower, he could even vaguely see the figures of these targets.

Zhu Zhongyun visually determined that this distance was 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. Even if he managed to shoot, it was difficult to ensure accuracy.

This is obviously not the best time to take action. Once you miss, there will be no second chance.

Zhu Zhongyun was not impulsive. He knew that the senior officials of Haihan would enter the city in carriages later, and the shooting distance would be much closer than now, and the killing effect of the five rifle salvos would definitely be much better than now.

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 startled. Zhu Zhongyun couldn't understand how the voices of Haihan senior officials could be 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" that Haihan has mastered.

Zhu Zhongyun considered himself well-informed, so he was inevitably shocked by the ability to transmit sounds for miles. One can imagine how shocked ordinary people would be when faced with such an incomprehensible "magic skill." He has even thought that at this time, there will definitely be a scene of a large number of dull villagers inside and outside the city who will regard the high-ranking officials of Haihan as gods and descend to the earth, and they will fall to the ground and worship him.

"Crooked ways! Pretending to be mysterious!"

Zhu Zhongyun could only comfort himself with such comments now, but he couldn't help but think in his heart that if this thing was used to shout when attacking the city, if the defenders in the city didn't plug their ears, they would be distracted by this thing. , the effect is probably better than ordinary weapons.

Shi Diwen's speech was very brief and official. The main idea was that this time the Executive Committee visited Hangzhou and it coincided with the 30th anniversary of the National Day. Hangzhou will hold many celebration activities. People are invited to actively participate and enjoy the wonderful things brought by Haihan. Peace and prosperity.

After he finished speaking, he invited Tao Dong to come on stage and speak a few words to 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 important figures in 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 hurt even more.

As Haihan's rule became increasingly stable, the situation in Hangzhou was gradually out of Ming's control, and the people's aspirations were clearly revealed at this moment.

If ordinary people began to recognize themselves as Haihan citizens, it would be much more difficult for the Ming Dynasty to regain this area. Thinking of this, Zhu Zhongyun felt that the mission he shouldered was of great significance.

If we can successfully succeed today, we may have the opportunity to interrupt Haihan's national destiny. If not, scenes 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.

First, Shi Diwen was elected to the executive committee and will participate in the country's governance as a member of the executive committee in the next five years.

For the officialdom of the Donghai Region, this is undoubtedly a great benefit. It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. After Shi Diwen takes power, he will definitely give priority to promoting his own people. There will inevitably be a group of local officials who will have the opportunity to rise to the top.

Second, during the 30th anniversary celebrations of the National Day, in addition to various private celebrations, the official will also hold a military parade in 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 to the local people. It is said that in addition to the local troops stationed in the Donghai Region, the troops participating in this military parade also included troops from overseas regions, which is also a rare sight. The third thing is the move of the capital to Hangzhou that everyone is most concerned about.

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

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

Although this news had been circulating among the people for a long time, the meaning was naturally very different when it was announced by Tao Donglai himself. The people inside and outside the city burst into joy and celebrated the good news together.

From the center of a province to the center of a country, the local people are undoubtedly happy to see the tremendous changes that this rise in status will bring to Hangzhou.

However, this is definitely bad news for Zhu Zhongyun, who is also an audience member.

One of his main purposes in 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 remaining territories of the Ming Dynasty in his expansion direction.

However, Tao Donglai's public speech has already set the tone for moving the capital. Now, if we go to the executive committee, we don't know if this decision can be swayed.

But now the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Zhu Zhongyun knew that if he succeeded, there was still a possibility of changing the situation. If he retreated, Ming would have no chance to counterattack Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Seeing tens of thousands of people cheering and cheering outside the city, everyone in the executive committee was also very happy. If a major event like moving the capital, which is related to the destiny of the country, can get widespread support from the people, the process will naturally be much smoother.

After the speech, the welcome ceremony at Qingchun Gate came to an end. Everyone got off the tower, boarded the carriage, and marched into the city along Qingchun Road.

The people 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 a fighting state. They set up their rifles at the attic window and pointed their guns at the nearby street. They only waited for the carriage of the Haihan Executive Committee to arrive at this section of the road before taking action immediately.

Zhu Zhongyun finally waited until those carriages with the Haihan and Han flags appeared in sight. 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 then shoot at the second carriage together. The third carriage... until it caused chaos, then quickly evacuated the place.

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

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

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

"Fire!"

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