Chapter 46: Judgment

Because the Chinese people are so good at infighting, they gave birth to a highly developed art of power and conspiracy, and they have always led the world in this regard.

It is a pity that this kind of art has always brought its own people to the detriment of its own people, but has never rectified outsiders.

If Dechen Bataan had been a native of China and had lived in China for a long time, he would have used a more technical method to get the officers and men to approve of the uprising.

This straightforward way of expression is often counterproductive, and it feels a bit like being a prostitute.

But Deqin Badan is not a Chinese after all, and he has never set foot in China for a long time, he only knows one thing is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the person he admires the most is Zhang Fei, who is straightforward.

As soon as Dechen Bataan said this, the soldiers below who had been "buzzing" like bees became silent in an instant.

All eyes were on Dechen Bataan alone, full of surprise, apprehension, and trepidation.

Although many soldiers had expected it, it was still a little difficult for them to accept the decision when it was actually spoken.

Deqin Badan, or Deqin Zhang Fei, was already ready to shoot himself if anyone stood up against it.

However, no one spoke, so he didn't know what to say.

After being stunned for a moment, Deqin Zhang Fei cleared his throat and said, "I myself will join the Kokang Republican Army, and as a brother, I don't want to force you to go together." Those who wish to follow me Dechen Bataan, I raise my hands to welcome. If anyone doesn't want to, then go on their own, and Dechen Bataan will not stop him. Even if any of you remain loyal to the MD government, I, Dechen Bataan, am not against it. Just ......."

Dechen Bataan was about to continue, when a soldier suddenly rushed to the stage, stood beside Dechen Bataan, waved his hand vigorously, and then shouted in a hoarse voice: "Listen to me!"

This person's voice was more like Zhang Fei than Deqin Zhang Fei, which immediately attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers, and all eyes were removed from Deqin Badan's body and fell on him.

This soldier had obviously never been noticed by so many people at the same time in his life, and for a moment he was a little proud, standing there with his hands on his hips, enjoying the feeling to the fullest.

However, he enjoyed half a day without saying a word.

Dechen Bataan coughed softly and reminded him, "Do you have something to tell everyone?"

"Oh, yes......." The soldier cleared his throat and then shouted to all the officers and soldiers: "What Regiment Commander Deqin Bataan just said is so good, our gang is usually fed up with the MD government's anger, and now is the time to get angry! Regiment Commander Deqin Bataan treats us well on weekdays, and we should follow him at this time...... Follow the head of Dechen Bataan to have meat to eat!"

In fact, this soldier was arranged by Dechen Bataan, because the speech of an ordinary soldier may constitute a strong support for Dechen Bataan.

But this soldier jumped out too early, and what was even worse was that his incoherent words and logic were confused, especially the last sentence, which made Dechen Badan wonder if he was thinking of himself as a pig.

Fortunately, the soldier was also clever, and glanced at Dechen Badan, but saw that his face was staring at him with black lines. So he tried hard to sort out his thoughts, and according to Deqin's previous explanation, he reluctantly recited it: "What Commander Deqin Bataan said is right, the MD government has always been unable to tolerate the 206th Regiment, and sooner or later it will have to find an excuse to break it up and divide it to other troops! As you can imagine, once we go to other troops, we will definitely suffer a lot of anger! More importantly, those who have served as an official and a half in the regiment and who have complained about the MD government and the Burmese will definitely be settled by the Autumn Queen!" You may not know that over the years, the head of Deqin Bataan has helped us settle a lot of things, and now even he can't protect himself!"

"That's right!" an officer stood up next to him and shouted: "Actually, the 206th Regiment will be forced to revolt sooner or later!

"That's what happened!" The soldier finally got into the state and began to talk in an orderly manner: "Commander Deqin Bataan is a kind person, and now he has decided to revolt by himself, and he is unwilling to embarrass everyone, so let everyone choose to stay by themselves! I know that many people want to live a stable life, and many people don't want to be soldiers and fight at all, and I am afraid that after participating in the uprising, it will be a dead end after being caught by the MD government!" But have you ever thought that even if we don't participate in the uprising, the MD government will definitely let us go? They can't wipe out the Kokang Republican Army and can't catch the head of Dechen Bataan, so they will inevitably vent their anger on us, and then we will still be dead! If we are all dead, why don't we struggle before we die?!......

Hearing these words from the back of the soldier, Deqin Badan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had taught well on weekdays, which made this elm's head a little more flexible.

Seeing that most of the officers and soldiers were in favor of the uprising, and did not hear the obvious opposition to business, Dechen Bataan was happy and apprehensive at the same time.

Many of these soldiers dragged their families with them, and even if they could put their lives and deaths on the line, they could not ignore the safety of their families.

In the style of the MD government, it is not impossible to be angry with the families of officers and soldiers, but it is even more likely to threaten them to surrender with their lives.

In other words, this factor determines whether the morale of the army is stable after the uprising.

Let's talk about Pang Jindong's side.

Just as Yang Jiawei once said, the efficiency of the Kokang Republican Army is very high, and perfect military discipline is not only quickly formulated, but also a complete set of military justice system is also formed as quickly as possible.

Pang Jindong originally tried to exert some influence, delay as much time as possible, and wait until his uncle was angry, but it had no effect.

What is even more unexpected than Pang Jindong is that the Kokang Republican Army is not all illiterate grass coles, but also has attracted a lot of talents.

There are even two people who are proficient in law, who originally graduated from a well-known domestic university with a major in law, and who do not know how to fall into foreign countries to sell drugs, and now they have become the presiding judges of military courts.

On the day of the trial of the military court, almost all the high-ranking members of the Kokang Republican Army arrived, and those sitting in the first row were Pang Wenlan, Pang Tianzhong, and Pang Jindong.

The family members of Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao were also present, and Pang Jindong was worried that they would cry and disrupt the order of the trial.

For a long time, these people have no concept of the legal system, live in a patriarchal society, and only know how to respect their elders, but they do not know how to respect the law.

Perhaps because Pang Wenlan was present, this situation did not happen, and no one dared to be presumptuous in front of Pang Wenlan.

The process of the trial was very reasonable, with a prosecutor, a defense lawyer, and even a jury of officers of all ranks.

After a decent court debate, the verdict was quickly rendered, and Pang Tianxiao's treachery was clearly factual and conclusive, and he was sentenced to death.

As for Pang Tianbiao, he was a coercive obedience, and he did not put forward any negative suggestions for Pang Tianxiao, nor did he play a big role in the whole rebellion, so he was only sentenced to be stripped of his position and never to be used.

When the presiding judge said the last word, the courtroom finally heard the cry of "huh", it was Pang Tianxiao's wife and children.

They didn't dare to cry too loudly, tried their best to suppress their feelings, and kept wiping their tears.

Pang Jindong sighed secretly, fortunately, several wives of his uncle have passed away one after another, if Pang Tianxiao's mother is still in the world, I am afraid that there will really be trouble today.

But Pang Jindong thought about it again, and felt that in the way that his uncle ruled the family, these wives probably didn't dare to say much about military affairs when they were alive.

In contrast, Pang Tianbiao's family members were relieved, busily stroking their chests, thanking Guanyin Bodhisattva, Buddha Rulai, Jesus, the Virgin Mary and a god they could think of, and then invariably threw a grateful glance at Pang Jindong.

Pang Tianxiao was immediately taken out of the courtroom, and then his life was ended by a crisp gunshot.

Pang Jindong observed more delicately, and found that at the same time as the gunshots rang out, the uncle seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and a trace of muddy tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

However, soon, Pang Wenlan regained that resolute and resolute look, and wiped away his tears with an inadvertent movement.

Later, Pang Jindong learned that his uncle had only cried four times after he became an adult, two of which were for the death of his two elder brothers, once when his great-grandfather died, and the last time was when he was forced to leave a foreign land after the defeat of the mainland.

Since arriving at MD, no matter how difficult the conditions, how dangerous the environment, and how bleak the future is, my uncle has never shed a single tear, and now this is the fifth time.

No matter what rebellious things Pang Tianxiao has done, he is Pang Wenlan's biological son after all, and the pain in Pang Wenlan's heart cannot be alleviated at this time.

Pang Jindong originally wanted to comfort his uncle, but he didn't expect Yang Jiawei to come over without knowing the current affairs, patted his shoulder, and sighed: "It's okay, it's okay......"

"What's the matter......" Pang Jindong looked at Yang Jiawei and shook his head with a sad face.

"If the military court releases Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao, everyone will think that the trial is a trick. If the two of them are sentenced to death, then General Pang and the commander-in-chief will inevitably be dissatisfied, and they will also lead many people to deviate from morality......" sighed, Yang Jiawei said with relief: "Now one is dead and one is dismissed, and the one who dies is the most bastard, and the one who lives is the most wasteful, so it's just right, just right!"

Pang Jindong shook his head helplessly: "I also know that these two uncles are unforgivable, but they are my uncles after all......"

Yang Jiawei wanted to say something, but his eyes inadvertently glanced to the side, but he didn't make a sound, but quickly slipped away.

Pang Jindong followed Yang Jiawei's gaze just now, and found that Uncle Pang Tianpet walked over with heavy footsteps.

"Uncle, I'm ......." Pang Jindong just opened his mouth, and realized that he didn't know what to say, but he was stunned when he opened his mouth.

Pang Tianpet first waved his hand, then patted Pang Jindong's shoulder, and said earnestly: "It's all up to you in the future!" As soon as the words fell, Pang Tianpet walked away, his steps still heavy.

As soon as Pang Tianpet walked away, Yang Jiawei slipped back and said to Pang Jindong in a low voice: "Congratulations!"

Pang Jindong was puzzled, frowned and asked strangely, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, from now on, you will be the de facto commander-in-chief of the Kokang Republican Army, albeit nominally deputy!"

Pang Jindong looked at Yang Jiawei carefully, and found that the look of hanging children was long gone, replaced by a rare solemnity.

Obviously, the various changes in the Kokang Republican Army during this period of time have made it impossible for Yang Jiawei, who is naturally optimistic, to go on easily.

From beginning to end, he did not make any ridicule and ridicule of Pang Jindong, which shows that if Pang Jindong is really in power, he absolutely supports it.

Pang Jindong thought about it carefully, and when he contacted the uncle's inexplicable words just now, he quickly understood what Yang Jiawei meant.

Whether it is based on personal hatred or the overall situation of the Kokang Republican Army, Pang Tianzhong needs these two younger brothers to die.

However, after all, they are brothers, but in fact, Pang Tianpet's heart is uncomfortable.

In addition, he also has to consider the influence of public opinion, if he continues to be in power, he will definitely face a lot of criticism, thinking that he disregards family affection for the sake of power.

Therefore, at this time, he was a little disheartened about the affairs of the army, and felt that it was better to hand it over to Pang Jindong to take care of.
