Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 588 Guard Mission
Since then, he has become a personal guard under Chen Qimei.In ancient times, most successful people must meet two conditions: one is to be obedient.This is easy to understand. Of course, listen to your boss. Even if your boss is wrong, you are right. If your boss makes a wrong decision, you must try to not only complete the task, but also try to make the wrong decision right. Otherwise, the boss will wake up in the future, and even if he did exactly what he said, but resulted in a wrong result, he will not say that it is his fault, but that it is your fault.So being unreasonable is a common problem of all leaders.If the boss makes the right decision, you have to try to put all the credit on the boss, let others think that this matter is the result of the boss's efforts alone, and put all the halo on him.The second is to be diligent.This point is easier to understand, that is, work hard, work hard, and work hard, everything must be done before the boss thinks about it, then the other party will feel that you know him very well, and he will feel at ease when he appoints you.If the boss repeatedly urges something, even scolds three times and hums, and the three sticks can't make a fart, then this person is not far from being fired.Diligent speech means being good at expressing. People of the scalper type can’t get enough of it in any era. They only know how to bury their heads in the three acres of land under their feet and never look up at the sky. Through you, then such a person will not be promoted even if he does other things well.All leaders promote first and foremost the people they think they know.

In the Shanghai Garrison Command, this is how it is done. The headquarters does not have a fixed working time every day. Anyway, the world is peaceful now, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Who doesn’t want to enjoy themselves, so it is often around noon that the headquarters is sparsely populated. Bring some people, as long as the commander and other officers are away, the gathering is either chatting or talking nonsense, and we can live happily and freely.But since I came here, I came to the headquarters every morning before dawn, first cleaned the commander's room, and then prepared hot water for the commander, prepared hand towels, put cigarettes and matches in a conspicuous place on the table, and put the The commander's military uniform was sorted and ironed, and then the corridor was cleaned again, hot water was provided for the people in several main departments, and then he was quietly on duty in the guard room, waiting for the commander's arrival.

After Chen Qimei came, according to the commander's habit, he immediately made a cup of strong tea for him, lit a cigarette for the commander, threw a handkerchief in the hot water, handed it to the commander to wipe his face, and then asked the commander what happened today. There is no special mission. After getting a negative answer, he left the commander's office and returned to the guard room to continue his duties.

Usually, even if the commander didn't come, he seldom went to other departments to chat, and he always regarded himself as a student when he talked to anyone.Whenever Chen Qimei travels, he must be guarded all the way. Chen likes to play cards. He often goes to his friends to play cards all night. If it is replaced by other guards, the first half of the night is fine, but in the second half of the night, few can survive. They all sneaked into other rooms and took a nap, and got up to put on a show when it was almost dawn, but every time they persisted from the beginning to the end, meticulous, never lazy, and came to the headquarters early as usual the next day Continue to be on duty.

A word of diligence and a word of prudence won the favor of almost everyone in the headquarters. Of course, some people would think that they were pretending to be handsome, and some even satirized the strong Zhejiang accent, but Chen Qimei saw everything in her eyes. I am very satisfied with the performance in my heart.

Of course, I also understand the truth that if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. After work, I often invite people in the headquarters to drink, drink, and play cards to get closer.

Although he was working as a guard with no regrets, his boss, Huang Jinrong, was really dissatisfied with Chen Qimei's arrangement.Once, when he visited the Huangfu, he reported his situation to Huang Jinrong, and Huang Jinrong became a little annoyed when he heard it, "This Chen Qimei, who usually calls me a brother, was just an old man when the Qinghong gang was flourishing. The little garrison platoon leader was recommended by my surname Huang to the Shanghai Garrison Commander at the time, and he got his position today. Now that he is the commander, he has adopted an official accent with me. The person I introduced, on He is a top-notch candidate in terms of appearance and talent, but he just arranged for a small guard, isn't this a bright pearl casting a dark shadow. No, I must talk to him."

He hurriedly stopped him and said: "Master, why should you care about this? In fact, Commander Chen is already giving me a chance, but just observe me for a while. The student believes that one day there will be a bright future."

Huang Jinrong sighed and said: "Zhongzheng, you are good everywhere, but you are too kind. Now that the world has changed, I, Huang Jinrong, am not as brave as I used to be. I hope you can be appreciated by him. I am optimistic about you, you boy. Someday it will come out.”

He bowed to express his gratitude, but he said in his heart, kindness?Kind-hearted people these days can't get ahead at all, and I, Jiang Zhongzheng, just endured it for a while and kept a low profile.

Sure enough, the opportunity came. On this day, Chen Qimei suddenly called her to her side and said to him: "Mr. Accompanied by military intelligence personnel, they only bring a small number of guards, so the task of guarding is very difficult. If you do this well, you will be prosperous in the future. If you mess up, you can’t expect to mess around in the army Maybe you will be charged with lax security, you will be imprisoned for several years, and you may even lose your life because of it.”

Startled, "Master Commander, which Xu Gong are you talking about?"

"Zhongzheng, you don't even know Mr. Xu? How many more Mr. Xu can there be in the Chinese Empire? Of course, it's Mr. Xu Shichang, the Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Army Department."

"Oh? Master Xu is coming to Shanghai?" She pretended to be surprised, but felt ecstasy in her heart. She never thought that Chen Qimei could entrust such an important task to herself.

"Yeah, Mr. Xu is a very popular figure around the emperor, and he is also the highest officer of the Imperial Army. Such a big man came to Shanghai, it is a credit to our face. If you can successfully complete the task of guarding, then you will be a high-ranking official in the future. Just around the corner." Chen Qimei said with a smile.

"Students must live up to their mission and win glory for the Commander and Shanghai!"

Three days later, Xu Shichang, Chief of the General Staff of the Army Department, arrived in Shanghai accompanied by a group of senior military officials. The train stopped at Shanghai Central Station, and 300 guards from the Garrison Command had been waiting at the station for an entire hour.The train spewed out a long stream of white gas and stopped slowly. Immediately after the door opened, Xu Shichang and others walked down the hanging ladder and shook hands with senior officials from Shanghai and the military who came to welcome them.Of course, there is no chance to go there. This time, Chen Qimei personally drafted the security mission, and he is fully responsible for it.The security guards took the train as the center point and radiated around the station until they reached the Pujiang Avenue in front of the station. After calculation in advance, there was a straight-line distance of [-] meters from the train to the Pujiang Avenue. To be on the safe side, he divided the [-] guards into two groups. Several groups occupied the two exits of the station and the high positions on several stairs, closely watching all the movements in the station.

Although the central station is under martial law at this time, and all lines are suspended between 6:7 p.m. and [-]:[-] p.m. when the train arrives, there are still many station attendants busy walking around the station from time to time.Most annoying are the journalists waiting outside the station.I know very well that when the emperor was in Shanghai and was about to return to Luan, he was assassinated by a spy pretending to be a reporter here, which almost caused a catastrophe.But reporters have the right to interview, and it is impossible to completely interfere with other people's interview freedom, which puts a certain pressure on the security tasks.

At that time, Yuan Shikai had just launched a rebellion in Singapore. Xu Shichang came here to inspect the security and espionage work in Shanghai and prevent Yuan Shikai's clique from infiltrating the imperial economic center.Although Shanghai is located in the eastern corner, who can guarantee that there will be no followers of Yuan Ni here.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

At this time, Xu Shichang and others had just walked to the first gate inside the station, followed by some handymen far behind to check in various luggage, and there were three station duty rooms on both sides of the gate.A large group of reporters who had been waiting for a long time flocked to the scene. Under the interception of the guards, they took pictures at a distance of more than [-] meters from Xu Shichang. For a while, the sound of flashlights came and went, and the dazzling light made people unable to open their eyes.

In the distance, he stared at the people around Xu Shichang with his eyes wide open. When the flashlights shot randomly, he felt a blur in front of his eyes, as if a figure had slipped into the crowd. He immediately rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. , At this time, the crowd was already on his side, and people's faces could not be seen. He panicked in his heart, hoping that he had read correctly, and hurriedly called his guards softly, and ran forward quickly.

In just two or three seconds, he rushed to the front of the crowd at a speed of sprinting [-] meters, searching the crowd with piercing eyes.

really!A strange face suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the crowd. This person was wearing the military uniform of an army major officer and his hat was lowered. Following the movement of the crowd, he approached Xu Shichang little by little.

At this moment, my heart is about to jump out, could that person be an assassin!It is also possible that I misread it, that is the officer who came with Xu Shichang, but what if it is not?
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to attack rashly when he could not determine the identity of the opponent. If he made a wrong judgment, his military career would probably end there.But with his identity, he has no right to be close to the crowd. The task Chen Qimei gave him at the beginning was to guard the periphery and not allow him to approach Xu Gong.

At this time, the crowd had already moved to a distance of about 40 meters from them, and they were about to reach the gate of the station. The strange officer also followed the movement of the crowd and quietly moved to a position more than ten meters behind Xu Shichang.He clearly saw that person stretching his right hand towards his waist.
