Chapter 44: Public Trial

Jiankang Mansion is not only the seat of Jiangnan East Road, but also the "Liudu" of the Great Song Dynasty in name. After the southern crossing, although the official family took Lin'an Mansion as the "line", it was the actual national capital. But it does not hinder the self-confidence of the people who stay in the capital, just like the battle for the demon capital in later generations, they all feel that they are the boss.

At this time, the number of registered people in Jiankang City exceeded 200,000, and the entire Great Song Dynasty was second only to Lin'an City. The people of the time said: "The foundation of the country is in the southeast, and the foundation of the southeast is in Jiankang." Xiongshan is the city, the Yangtze River is the pool, the boats and cars are transported, and several roads are spoken, which is today's Guanzhong and Hanoi. ”

It is precisely because of this mentality that the views of the people in Liudu on this incident are somewhat complicated. Most people are cold bystanders, thinking that it doesn't matter, anyway, whether it is the official family or the Yuan people, they are just paying taxes and eating. However, a small number of large businessmen thought that the change of ownership was a foregone conclusion, and did not want their existing lives to be disrupted by war.

The next morning, after a night of hustle and bustle, the city finally fell silent, and the people were about to fall asleep in curiosity, when they heard the sound of gongs.

"I heard it clearly, according to the new governor of this mansion, Mrs. Liu Shoujun's order, after lunch, before two o'clock, the Chengxi Military Academy will hold a public trial meeting. I don't know what a public trial conference is, but you will know it when you go. The old and the weak do not have to go, so as not to trample on them. ”

The fresh statement aroused the interest of the people, since the Song Dynasty, the management of the city is still relatively relaxed, and the people are not very afraid of the blue sky such as the Fuzun and the county. Hearing the excitement, they couldn't hold back their excitement, calling friends one by one, hurriedly eating lunch and rushing to the west of the city.

When I got close to the colonel, the nearby streets were full of forbidden army sergeants with guns and knives, all of them with their chests and bellies, and they didn't pay attention to the greetings and jokes of acquaintances, which made them boring. In such an atmosphere, the closer you get to the school grounds, the less loud you are.

The military academy is located in the southwest corner of the city, and on the side is the Shenxiao Palace where Emperor Gaozong once stationed, which can be practiced by more than 50,000 people at the same time, which is also the largest square in the city. At this time, wooden railings were erected on both sides of the school grounds, a bit like the newspaper reading columns on the university campus in later generations.

After the flow of people enters the school grounds, they will be guided by the forbidden sergeant to watch the content on the railings, needless to say, the PS pictures brought by Liu Yu are posted on it. The vivid color pictures and scenes like personal experience greatly shocked these ordinary people who could only listen to books and watch plays.

"Brother Dutou, who painted this, how can it be so real, the person riding a horse and wielding a knife on it is a Tartar?" From time to time, questions were asked to the sergeants standing nearby.

"It's just a small army, but you can't deserve it, the picture on this picture is the Tartar, do you know that Taiping Prefecture knows, in the upper reaches of this mansion, the Tartar killed more than 80,000 of my Song people in Wuhu County, which is very hateful. These are all the deaths of the spies in front of them, but they are not hand-drawn. ”

This is the photo exhibition launched by Liu Yu, which uses guò as an intuitive way to directly plant the atrocities of the Tartars in the hearts of the people of Jiankang. Looking at the fence one by one, the behavior of the Tartar became more and more brutal, and when they saw the picture of the infant being held high, those who were a little less able to bear it had burst into tears, and most of them were scolding.

In order to prevent the people from being too excited, Liu Yu arranged thousands of forbidden troops to maintain order, Rao is so, there are still people who are out of control who want to tear up those pictures, and the forbidden army on the side is also trying their best to prevent and persuade them, and the scene gradually becomes noisy.

"Ziqing, good means, no matter how indifferent people see this, they will inevitably be touched. If you guide it in this way, the will of the people can be used. "The person who spoke was Hu Sanxing, Liu Yu had already communicated with Wang Lixin to the Governor's Mansion of Yangzhou, and officially transferred him, and besides, he was originally the Jiyi script of the Yanjiang Division, so there was no need to care whether Jia Yidao agreed or not.

"The battle of Jiankang is imminent, and the people of this city are indifferent, but why are these outsiders fighting for their lives? A certain is to sue them, this is a national war, and there are eggs under the nest! Liu Yu almost blurted out that "the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband", but fortunately, he reacted in time and stopped his mouth.

On the makeshift review stand, a group of forbidden soldiers are fiddling with the new technology brought by Liu Yu, a simple analog broadcasting system consisting of a pure amplifier, a mixer, a partitioner, a microphone, a speaker and a loudspeaker. Of course, small gasoline generators and lead-acid batteries that drive them are also essential.

The people who operated these things were all the remaining more than 50 people who followed Liu Yu to be Tu, more than ten people were sacrificed in the Battle of Lugang, plus a few spies who died behind enemy lines, there were more than 30 people in this team, including Li Shiyi, who had been promoted to the head of the team.

In addition to the two large speakers on the school review platform, wooden pillars are used to prop up loudspeakers around the school and even on the surrounding streets, and the people who can't enter the school can stand on the street and listen. At the top of the reading stand, a banner was pulled out of a red cloth, on which were written on white paper the words "Jiankang Mansion Public Trial Conference".

"Forgive Hu for his clumsiness, what does this 'will judge the public mansion Kangjian'?" Hu Sanxing, a school book who loves to be more serious, looked at the words on the banner, shook his head with his beard, and shook his head, but found that it didn't make sense at all.

When Liu Yu heard this, he sweated for a while, forgetting that the reading and writing order of the ancients was the opposite of that of later generations, so he hurriedly called the sergeant and took down the banner and reinstalled it. After a few moments, the sergeant reported that all the decorations were complete. The people in the venue gradually gathered, Liu Yu patted the microphone, and a huge electric sound came out.

"Sangzi, go up, where are you looking, so-and-so is here!" Liu Yu's words were amplified and came out of the speakers and the speakers on the pillars, and the people below listened to it and watched it around, Liu Yu wanted to laugh a little, he was like making a report at a mass meeting.

ridiculed and relaxed, looking down from the review stand, there were dense heads, but fortunately, they all knew that it was the parents and officials who were on top, and they didn't make the whole school noisy like a bazaar.

"The mulberry people of Jiankang City, take this opportunity to get to know everyone, a certain surname Liu, now know this Jiankang Mansion. It's a shame to say that the new official should not have taken office under such circumstances, this place is too small, how can it fit more than 200,000 people in my city. Liu Yu's words caused a burst of ridicule below, and Hu Sanxing also shook his head, thinking that he was unstable as a civil official.

"No, just yesterday, when you closed your doors and listened to the excitement, this official was almost forced to a dead end by the traitor, so dangerous, such a long crossbow arrow flew past the official's ear." No one laughed this time, and most people knew what happened yesterday.

"I'll talk about the dangers of this later. What I want to say today is that this Jiankang City, it is not only Liu's, not only the Great Song Dynasty, it is yours. Everyone may know that the Tartars are coming, if Liu doesn't care about it and directly dedicates this Jiankang City to the Tartars, what will he get? Liu Yu's words were a little incomprehensible, and gradually attracted the attention of the people in the audience.

"Then it's not just a prefect, at least it has to be a handsome minister all the way. But what about you, do you think it will be the same as before? Cockfighting dogs, no curfew at night? You are wrong, under the rule of the Yuan people, you Han people, no, Nanren, after the Shen time, you are not allowed to go to the street again, and the violators will be severely punished. If a Mongolian takes a fancy to your lady and robs him, you come to the official, but I can't help it, the official can't control him. ”

"It's okay, right, the world is supposed to bully the weak with the strong. But what this official wants to tell you is that even if Liu Kaicheng dedicates this Jiankang Mansion, you will definitely be able to live? That's not necessarily, the following painting is clear, just a hundred miles away, Taiping Prefecture, Wuhu County, which opened the city and surrendered, from Qipinzhi County to ordinary people, more than 80,000 people, none of them were spared! Liu Yu waved his hand, and tens of thousands of people below were silent.

"Someone is going to ask, why did this Tartar slaughter the city? This official has come to sue you, because you are not as good as a pig or a dog in the eyes of the Tartars. Only by slaughtering you can we deter the surrounding Zhenjiang Mansion, Yangzhou, Changzhou, Lianghuai, Liangjiang, Liangzhejiang, and even the imperial court. Are you afraid, since you can't take care of surrender and forgiveness, then flee, leave this city, and there will be nothing to do. ”

"I don't tell you this to frighten you, but to pack up and leave the city. This Jiankang City is ours, why should we let the Tartars occupy it, Liu is here to take a look, there are 200,000 people, and a few of them are standing and peeing! For a while, the sound of heartbeats could be heard quietly on the school grounds, and the people unconsciously straightened their waists.

Seeing this, Liu Yu waved his hand, and a team of forbidden soldiers escorted a few people with flowers tied up to the review stand, this group of people were Xu Wangrong, Mao Shixiong, Huang Yuanwai, and several deputies of Xu Mao's subordinates. When the people in the audience saw it, some of them recognized it, so they pointed and talked about it.

"These people know and don't, and the rebellion in the city a few days ago is the beginning and end of several of them. This official will never increase the punishment for no reason, although his crimes are obvious to all, this official still wants to be punished here, please come forward to check the evidence and confession. ”

Several famous old men in the city were elected, walked up to the stage and read the confessions of several people, as well as letters and other things found from their homes, and nodded themselves, indicating that they really deserved it, and an old man spat on several people on the stage when he stepped down. The crowd in the audience began to clamor, and tens of thousands of people shouted "kill them", and the sound shook all over the world.

"The so-called public trial, in addition to the law, is the public opinion, and today's public opinion is like this, and the crime is conclusive, then there is no need to wait for the Criminal Department to deal with it after the Hui Wenqiu. This official wants to remind you Sangzi that if you kill them, there will be no way to retreat, when the Tartars come, a certain general will fight to the death with the Tartars, are you willing to accompany you? Among the few people on the stage, Xu Wangrong's face was just pale, Mao Shixiong was already a little shaken, and Huang Yuanwai fell to the ground when he heard this.

The people who were mobilized were already enthusiastic at the moment, and they waved their fists and shouted slogans such as "willing" and "kill the tartars", Liu Yu smiled with satisfaction, the future generations have lived for almost thirty years, and this kind of small means is familiar. Hu Sansheng next to him was silent, he was still excited to be a Sven scholar, and the ignorant people in the audience could imagine, this kind of public opinion was released, is it okay in the end?
