Chapter 362: Qu Chen's head is used as a warning to others
The ceremony was completed half an hour later. Su Zhengyang stood in front of everyone in the line and took the lead in completing the oath.
"I swear! I will fight for the rise of China all my life! To fulfill the long-cherished wish of the entire northern border! To fight for the Chinese people and make China peaceful and prosperous..."
Today, a large number of troops are guarding the periphery of the Temple of Heaven Square with guns. The people of the entire Beilong City can also stand outside the cordon to watch the ceremony. Looking at the scene in front of them, the people can't help but burst into tears. Their emotions are strongly infected. They unconsciously raised their right hands with Su Zhengyang and others, and swore in unison. At this moment, the soul-stirring cry of this ancient nation converged into a turbulent river, and this surging river full of indomitable power is also destined to flow endlessly and move forward forever!
After the oath was completed, hundreds of thousands of people present cheered like a landslide and tsunami, looking at the young figure as dazzling as a bright star in the center of the Temple of Heaven Square. Everyone's eyes were filled with the light of hope!
"God has mercy on us! Congressman Su has really become the new president of Northern Xinjiang! We Chinese people can finally live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer be humiliated by the great powers!"
"Brother Liu, you should call President Su. Look at President Su's steady and powerful voice, majestic figure, and confident eyes! When I see President Su, I can't help but feel my blood boiling!"
"A good man must join the army to serve his country! I will sign up to join the army and become a soldier who fights for the rise of China!"
"Long live President Su! Under the leadership of President Su, the entire China will surely embark on the road of prosperity and strength!"
The people's heartfelt cheers and joy once again proved how high Su Zhengyang's status was in their hearts...
"Governor, Commander Brand has already landed at the Beilongcheng temporary military airport on our transport plane. He will be here in ten minutes..."
Hearing Fu Jiang's voice, a cold light flashed in Su Zhengyang's eyes, and he nodded calmly.
A quarter of an hour later, the Storm Division commander Brand, dressed in a black military uniform and walking steadily, walked through the crowd under the protection of the guards and walked directly towards Su Zhengyang. In his hand, he held a wooden box that looked to be about 30 centimeters square.
"Northwest Revolutionary Army, Commander Brand of the Storm Division, reports to the great leader!"
Brand saluted Su Zhengyang with a standard military salute, his expression extremely solemn.
This sudden scene made the onlookers, the governors of various provinces attending the ceremony, and the senior officials of the Northern Frontier government system look at each other in confusion.
"Leader! This wooden box contains a gift from me on behalf of all my colleagues in the Northwest Revolutionary Army!"
"So this is Commander Bu of the Storm Division, the ace unit of the Northwest Revolutionary Army. This is the first time I've seen his appearance and demeanor. He is indeed a tough soldier."
"When the Northern Expedition Corps returned victoriously last time, I witnessed the heroic appearance of Division Commander Bu and his elite troops at the military parade!"
"What gift do you think the Northwest Revolutionary Army will give to President Su?"
"I don't know. I heard that President Su has supreme power and prestige in the entire Northwest Revolutionary Army. It must be something priceless."
Not only were the onlookers talking about it and curious about the gift in Brand's hand, but even the governors of the provinces present looked at him with inquiring and puzzled eyes.
"Brother Li, what kind of gift do you think the Northwest Revolutionary Army will give to our President Su? Today is a big day that everyone is looking forward to. If the gift is not of sufficient quality, it will probably make our President Su lose face."
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Brand slowly opened the lid of the wooden box in his hand. Inside the box was a spherical object wrapped in black cloth, with faint traces of blood on the black cloth.
Brand lifted the black cloth, and what appeared before Su Zhengyang was the head of Qu Chen, the son of Qu Guowei!
This scene brought a great psychological shock to the people present. Fang Rukuang, the Minister of Finance of the Northern Frontier Government, could not help but blurt out: "Seeing blood on the day of the ceremony is an ominous sign!"
Brand turned around slowly, and his sharp eyes like a knife swept across the faces of the governors of various provinces.
"The gift that our Northwest Revolutionary Army presents to the leader is the head of Qu Chen, the young commander of the Qu clique, a rebel from Northwest Tiger State!"
"Qu Guowei and Ma Changfang's party blatantly colluded with Fusang and intended to commit treason. Qu Chen, the young commander of Huzhou, not only did not reflect on his father's mistakes, but also brazenly sent troops to attack Ganzhou, intending to rebel from the Northern Frontier. He also repeatedly humiliated the leader. He deserves death!"
"I, Brand, swear an oath here! Anyone who dares to be an enemy of our leader and go against the entire Northern Frontier government! Will become the enemy of our Northwest Revolutionary Army! The Northwest Revolutionary Army will crush all obstacles that appear in front of the leader with its invincible force!"
At this time, the governors of various provinces and senior officials of the Northern Frontier government standing below had expressions of horror, disbelief, gloom, joy, calm, and so on. Su Zhengyang took in the expressions of all of them and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
"How is this possible! A few days ago, news came that the Northwest Revolutionary Army's attack was unsuccessful and was blocked by the Huzhou Army outside the natural barrier. How come in just a few days, even Qu Chen's head was sent to Beilong City!"
At this moment, the Liang family's eyes were full of fear. They had originally thought that Qu Chen could set an example and make the Northwest Revolutionary Army, which had always claimed to be invincible, fall and kill Su Zhengyang's prestige. As a result, it now seems that the Huzhou Army not only did not bring any trouble to the Northwest Revolutionary Army, but had fallen into an irretrievable situation.
The entire Qu family, including their ancestral tablets and ancestral hall, were neat and tidy, but now they had all turned to dust.
Li Yukun, An Chengjie and others around Liang Jiaman were also shocked by Qu Chen's head. The Huzhou Army was known in the entire northern border for its bravery and well-equipped equipment. Even the Huzhou Army was wiped out in less than half a month. If it were them, wouldn't their fate be even more miserable?
Thinking of this, Liang Jiaman, who had always had an inexplicable hostility towards Su Zhengyang, couldn't help but tremble slightly. Su Zhengyang's gaze swept towards Liang Jiaman intentionally or unintentionally. Liang Jiaman swallowed hard and lowered his head subconsciously to avoid Su Zhengyang's gaze.
"Leader! At this time, our Northwest Revolutionary Army Fourth Army, Viking Division, Storm Division and other three troops took military sanctions against the Huzhou rebels from the north and south. It took half a month and killed more than 60,000 enemies. Shi Yong, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Huzhou Army, abandoned the dark and joined the light at the critical moment, and led the remaining 50,000 troops to open the gate of Jingyang and surrender. During this process, Huzhou's young commander Qu Chen was so crazy that he buried a large amount of explosives in the city, intending to let hundreds of thousands of people in the city be buried with him. It was extremely despicable and shameless! Now 29 members of the Qu family have been executed, and the Qu family's ancestral hall has been burned to the ground by angry people."
"It's a pity that this madman Qu Chen, for his own selfish interests, ordered his own troops to massacre the protesting civilians in the city, causing more than 5,000 civilian casualties. How to deal with this matter, please let the leader decide!"
