Chapter 101: See Soon

Assassination on the dock can be said to be a more direct and effective way, but the disadvantage is that there is no distance from the commanding heights of a suitable sniper. If you are in the crowd, you can only use a pistol, and how to escape is a problem when the distance is close. Moreover, there were several at the Xiaguan Wharf, and Chen Qiang could not know in advance where Tie Liang would disembark. If it is a temporary arrangement, it is clear that time is not enough.

Although it is possible to ambush in a nearby wood, grass, or building, it is difficult to find the one that Tie Liang is riding in among the many official sedan chairs traveling, and accurately hit the vital point of Tie Liang in the sedan chair.

The most suitable place to assassinate in the city is the Liangjiang Governor's Office, wait until Tie Liang gets off the sedan chair, shoot him dead from a long distance, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape from the city. There were also difficulties, as on the docks, the lack of suitable sniper positions. At that time, there were not many high-rise buildings in Chinese towns, and the farther away you went, the smaller the field of view and angle of the shot, and even a wall would make a sniper attempt fail.

Damn*, why do you want to sit in a sedan chair? Tie Liang should obviously be a martial artist, shouldn't he be majestic on a tall horse? How good it should be, a headshot, a shocking effect.

Chen Qiang had a fake beard on his face, a melon skin hat on his head, a fake braid behind him, and a robe and horse coat, and was walking slowly around the Liangjiang Government Office in the city of Nanjing, to be precise, hoping to find something, so as to make the assassination easier and more graspable.

And the fact made Chen Qiang feel disappointed, there were few reluctant heights and corners, and then it was really difficult to think of the rows of official sedan chairs in front of the government office, wearing piles of piles, finding Tie Liang in them, and shooting and sniping on the cover of people and things. Still, he planned to walk around the city, hoping to find something or a new light in his head.

Getting on the rickshaw, Chen Qiang instructed the coachman to pull him around, and then go to Xiaguan Wharf. He wanted to familiarize himself with the line that Tie Liang had taken again.

"Sir, you've found the right one, no one is more familiar with the streets of Nanjing than I am." The driver trotted through the potholed streets while talking about his outlook on life. Well, this is Chen Qiang's understanding, but the coachman is going around the bend to earn a few more feet.

Chen Qiang could speak Shanghainese, but he used official dialect to chat with the coachman, which made the coachman mistakenly think that he was from the north. The devil is in the details. If Chen Qiang wants to be clean from beginning to end, who can guarantee that there will be no detectives in the government to solve cases?

"I'll take you to Jinghai Temple, and outsiders who come to Nanjing will go there to see it." The coachman gasped.

"No, not going there." Chen Qiang tried to be short in his speech.

"Then go to the Tianfei Palace, the Tianfei Niangniang Mazu will bless you." The coachman stepped faster, turned his head and said, "Don't worry, the money is fixed, but after discussing it with you, you won't suffer." I don't know how northerners do it? Running fast didn't make him say a word. It was as if he was sitting in a tearoom and talking.

"Okay, let's go see the Heavenly Concubine Palace." Chen Qiang felt comfortable dangling in the rickshaw, and the view of this sultry and chaotic city from the car was a different view. The exterior looks beautiful at first glance, but a closer look reveals a shabby, tacky nature.

The coachman was running along an old channel, and at the bottom of the ditch came a layer of stinking mud, and his mouth was still chattering, "They want to dig up the stinking mud and put a wide horse on it, and the city will be changed, the government said." But what do we gain? Horses are for horse-drawn carriages. Is that right? ”

"Almost." Chen Qiang saw that the shop next to him was hanging lanterns, and asked casually: "What festival is it celebrating?" ”

"It's to greet Chincha-sama." The coachman's tone was obviously dissatisfied, "It is said that this Lord Qincha is here to make money." I wonder if the license tax will be increased this year? Phew, the government not only let the people along the street put up lights, but also set off firecrackers! ”

The imperial court issued an edict ordering Tieliang to go south to inspect the relocation of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, "by the way, the incoming and outgoing funds of the provinces, as well as the pros and cons of the treasury bureaus." Find out one by one and play in parallel. Obviously, Tie Liang's trip was to collect the most important financial source of the eight provinces in southeast and central China, the "soil plaster tax", to the central government, and the Yongying armed forces of Zhang Zhidong, Wei Guangtao and other governors would be reorganized or disbanded. At the same time, a large amount of funds and human rights of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau will also be taken away by Tie Liang. All in all, what is good is to weaken local forces and strengthen the power of the central government.

The local government was well aware of the imperial court's intentions, and Shanghai's "Alarm Bell Daily" accused Tie Liang of "collecting the wealth of the southeast for the Beijing government's squandering" under the headline "How Can the People Be Poor and Wealth?" Wei Guangtao, the governor of Liangjiang, instructed his subordinates to quickly falsify the inventory to make up for the shortfall.

In this way, Chen Qiang's assassination of Tie Liang not only eliminated the few "intellectual" generals among the Manchus, but also had the purpose of sabotaging the wishful thinking of the Manchu court. As for the other two assassination teams, they assassinated Pei Jingfu, the commander of Nanhai County, Guangdong, and reconnoitred Guo Yaojie.

Pei Jingfu and Guo Yaojie were the culprits in the arrest and murder of Shi Jianru, a revolutionary who plotted to bomb General Deshou, but the Revival Association had not yet been established at that time, and Shi Jianru should be regarded as a member of the Xingzhong Society. Then why did Revival choose these two goals, revenge is justified, and it is also revolution! Secondly, Shi Jianru has been righteous for several years, but the Revival Society has no actual reaction, but the Revival Society avenges them, which undoubtedly increases the prestige of the Revival Society and embarrasses the Revival Society.

They are both revolutionary groups, but the competition for talents and resources is not a matter of humility and conceit. The Renaissance Society chose to join forces but not to cooperate, because it looked down on the kind of organization similar to the Jianghu Handicap of the Alliance, and it could not believe that its mixed personnel could be kept secret, and in the fundraising revolution, the Renaissance Society had already taken the lead and would not be willing to lag behind in the future.

Interaction is to promote each other, and appropriate competition is also beneficial. Chen Qiang said it nicely, but in essence, everyone understands that a revolution is a revolution, but the ideas are different, and it is a major event that cannot be avoided to compete for the leading power of the revolution. Therefore, although Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing had a close personal relationship, after the two belonged to different groups, there was almost no personal connection between them.

However, the cooperation between Chen Qiang and Song Jiaoren is becoming more and more tacit, which is the inevitable result after reaching a consensus. This consensus is that what is needed to build a modern political party is not empty slogans, let alone complicated political goals. To create after the overthrow of the old order, what is needed is not the passion of the revolutionary, but the rationality of the builder.

Because Chen Qiang and Song Jiaoren have many common characteristics, such as constantly learning, such as being hands-on, and respecting the constitutionalists......

A day passed, and Chen Qiang finally had a specific plan for the assassination, although he was not particularly sure, but the risk was also quite small. Because he figured it out, when he let go of the pride of professionals, the success or failure of this assassination will have a huge impact. Just like Wu Jiao's plot to assassinate the five foreign ministers, although not one of them was killed, the resulting effect was sensational.

Tomorrow, Tie Liang will arrive in Nanjing, and there is no time for Chen Qiang to make more detailed and careful plans.

……………

Ding, bang! A two-kicker exploded. Wei Guangtao in the sedan chair shook his hand and frowned. He likes to be quiet, but the arrival of Tie Liang makes him have to pinch his nose to create an atmosphere, so that Tie Liang can shave less on Liangjiang and flick his chin lightly, or not.

Since the Geng Incident, the imperial court has obviously hated the local forces in the southeast very much, who let them ignore the imperial court and engage in a "southeast mutual protection"! Obviously, after a few years of recovery, the imperial court is about to attack local forces, and it is obvious that they will be suppressed and weakened.

But what about Wei Guangtao? He could only do his best to flatter, accept the instructions of the imperial court, and accept the arrangement of Lord Qincha. Don't say it's him, what about Zhang Zhidong, now he doesn't have to listen to the imperial court.

This Tie Liang is not one of those wine bags and rice bags who see money, and he has a bright future, so he will naturally not be moved by small profits, and it is not easy to deal with! Wei Guangtao's brows furrowed more and more, and the voices outside seemed to be deaf.

In the private room of the teahouse, the rifle has been assembled, standing at the angle of increase, blocked by a screen, even if the guy comes in, he can't find it. Don't look at Chen Qiang lazily leaning on the chair behind the table at this time, but he is already full of energy and can act at any time, just like an eagle circling and soaring in mid-air, it seems to be so leisurely, but it can strike at high speed at any time and catch the prey with a thunderous momentum.

Distance, Wind Direction, Humidity, Temperature...... He had just tested it, it was the first time, and he was always so cautious and serious about assassinations.

More than six meters, this is not the farthest sniper record that Chen Qiang knows, but he is not here to create any bullshit record, he is changing history, yes, a few bullets will rewrite the history books. Moreover, this distance is safe enough, from being attacked, to finding a firing point, the enemy will not think that the bullet will be fired from such a distance. The chaotic search will come from far and near, and when they find here, it is estimated that they are uncertain, and Chen Qiang and the others should have left a long time ago.

"Bang, Bang!" A rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded urgently, and Chen Qiang knew that it was Zhao Dayi who came up.

Opening the door, Zhao Dayi flashed in, locked the door again, and whispered in Chen Qiang's ear about what he saw on the dock.

Chen Qiang nodded, and after asking again to confirm, he instructed Zhao Dayi to close the screen and separate the line of sight from the door to the window. He shifted the table down, closed the window, and finally aimed his gun through the crack in the window.

In the distance, the sound of firecrackers can already be faintly heard, whether it is welcome or end, and it will be clear soon.
