Chapter 5 The Trial That Shocked the Nation
"Boom..." After the first explosion, loud noises sounded on the city wall opposite one after another, bricks and stones were flying, and the people of Xincai County were trembling and enduring this kind of war torture in their house.
"Let me listen to the Beiyang Army inside, put down your weapons and surrender immediately. Otherwise, all the shells fell on your head in a while, and it would be impossible to have a corpse." Cai Hun came forward again and said to the Beiyang Army with a trumpet.
"Don't fight *, don't fight *, we surrender..." A shout came from the city. Maybe the Iron Blood Army couldn't hear it, and a group of people were shouting.
Not long after, Wang Zhanyuan helped the commander down outside the city in a group, and Guo Huai also brought Tian Shi to their front.
"Catch all these generals for me." With a wave of his hand, a group of armed soldiers stepped forward and took down the officers who were still trying to resist.
"Be honest..." A soldier of the Iron Blood Army kicked a lieutenant general and commander hard.
"Didn't you promised us to let us go after surrender?" The lieutenant general questioned loudly, and all the Beiyang soldiers looked at him.
Guo Huai glanced at the soldiers, then stopped his eyes on Wang Zhanyuan, the guy in the general's uniform, and then said to the officers: "What we promised to release all prisoners of war, but you are not. You are war criminals and need to be tried by the military court."
"Now, all the soldiers hand over your weapons and finances, and can go to Zhumadian. Your new governor will host you. As for you commanders, you will follow us back to our northern Anhui for trial." After speaking to the officers, Guo Huai said to the Beiyang soldiers again. Although the money handed over was unwilling to some soldiers, after killing several Beiyang soldiers who refused to return, everyone became honest.
Half a day later, the entire Iron Blood Army evacuated from Henan and returned property to the looted people in Fuyang according to Deng Sen's order. Of course, this will not be a real return, but an average of the situation. For example, some families are poor and only five oceans, while some families are rich in hundreds or even tens of thousands of oceans. However, according to the average of the 100,000 people in Fuyang, each of them gets ten oceans. Although Deng Sen felt a little bit of pain, he, who were originally the people of Fuyang, had to win over the public opinion.
The Iron Blood Army left a regiment to guard the place and all the others left. When they left, Fuyang was crowded with people, and they saw the army off.
"The nickname is extra... The Iron Blood Army won a great victory in the civil war... The Henan Army surrendered, the warlord Wang Zhanyuan was captured, and the trial was held on January 20th..."
"The nickname is extra... The Su-Anhui government established China's Supreme Military Court to trial the war crimes committed by Wang Zhanyuan, and welcome people from all walks of life to observe..."
When the war ended, the news of victory spread naturally, and the status of the Iron Blood Army was even more improved. However, what everyone is most interested in is the trial of the military court. This is the first time that all Chinese people have heard of this new thing.
At the same time, journalists from all over the country have gathered in northern Anhui again, as if all major events this year have occurred in northern Anhui.
"Dang thud..." At the Supreme Military Court of Su'an, prosecutors wearing military uniforms and hats on the Libra military emblem beat the quiet hammer, and all the personnel looked at him one after another.
"According to the newly formulated Civil War Act, Wang Zhanyuan first launched a civil war, committed war crimes, and was later defeated, plundered in Fuyang and killed more than 400 people. This is not allowed by the civil war. As a member of the Han nationality, everyone is a brother and sister, and their lives and dignity cannot be trampled on. In particular, our Jiangsu and Anhui government issued a telegram to the whole country that any troops that carry out massacres and large-scale robbery are all national sinners and will be tried by the law. Our Iron Blood Army military government will attack at all costs and capture the main culprit for trial." First, the prosecutor read out the war decree of the simple civil war that Deng Sen had just formulated, and of course this was just a temporary decree.
After watching the recorders, the prosecutor continued to read: "Former Henan Governor Wang Zhanyuan, Lieutenant General Chong Huaming, Lieutenant General Zuo Dongyang, Lieutenant General Liu Feihuang... Major General Zhou Longwei, Major General Lu Chuanfen... Colonel Song Renyi, Colonel... and 18 others committed four crimes: war crimes, civil war crimes, massacre, and robbery. According to the operation, the Civil War Constitution, this is a crime that is inhumane and has no sense of nationality. After trial by the Supreme Military Court, Wang Zhanyuan was sentenced to hanging, Chong Huaming, and Zuo Dongyang was sentenced to Liu Feihuang's hanging... Hanging... Major General Zhou Longwei was sentenced to life imprisonment, sweeping general Lu Chuanfen hanging, and Colonel Song Renyi and others were sentenced to ten years of fixed-term imprisonment. A total of eight people were sentenced to death, including one of the government generals, four lieutenant generals, and two major generals, and one colonel. This is the highest resolution. The execution date is held on January 21st at the Iron Blood Party People's Square."
"We protest..." Wang Zhanyuan and eight others were sentenced to hang, so they naturally had to protest, but the court did not give them the qualification to protest at all. They directly announced that they would perform the hang tomorrow. Several people fell to the ground powerlessly and were taken away by armed personnel.
At the same time, the Jiangsu and Anhui government publicized the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hold a press conference to announce the trial, publish the witness testimony, and then inform the sentences of these people.
On January 21, northern Anhui was very busy. Because the New Year was about to end, the wealthy people in northern Anhui came to the city to buy New Year's goods, and the workers in the factory also took New Year's holidays. Of course, in addition to purchasing goods today, they also watched the punishments against senior Beiyang generals this time.
In the square outside the government building, a temporary gallows were erected before the Hero Monument and will also be permanently erected here, which will be the permanent land of the Supreme Military Court.
The reader read out the verdict before the gallows, and then the prisoners were brought up one by one. They all resisted one by one, but they were tied up with their hands behind their backs. They were completely useless under the suppression of two powerful soldiers of Kong Wu.
"I don't accept that I am a Beiyang general. The Su-Anhui government is not qualified to judge me. I want to meet the president. I want to meet the president..." Wang Zhanyuan was the first to execute the death penalty. He was pushed and taken to the gallows. Then the executioner put a well rope that was half a thick wrist on his neck. At this time, Wang Zhanyuan kept squirming his lips, and his fear of death had already made him collapse.
"Execution..." The verdict was read out again, and the commander issued an execution order. The soldier standing on the edge of the gallows closed the gate, and then the cable rose rapidly. Wang Zhanyuan was hung in the air, his legs kept shaking. It was obvious that he was in great pain, but twenty minutes later, there was no movement. The executioner then put him down and executed the criminals later.
This time, both foreign newspapers and domestic newspapers were widely publicized. Western newspapers said that China had awakened and domestic newspapers were even more respected. However, this also reflects the strong strength of the Iron Blood Military Government, and the ** Party sent people to contact each other again.
