Article 135 Trial
Li Dahu led the women alone, and then went back to the front hall, and together with the rest of his men, he watched over Kentaro Matsuura, as well as his concubines and daughters, and waited for Cai Dao's arrival.
Cai Dao also entered the city not long after the city was broken, because the market outside the city was surprisingly calm, so Takagi and his subordinates quickly eliminated those gangsters who wanted to fish in troubled waters, and then there was really nothing to do, and Fujiwara Lanling led people to suppress his subordinates. After he explained a few words to his subordinates, he personally led a team of 100 people out of the city to meet Cai Dao.
After entering the city, the overall situation was decided, and Cai Dao had those concubines and daughters of Kentaro Matsuura imprisoned in Honmaru, and the remnants of the Matsuura party were thrown directly into the cell. As for the other garrison soldiers, those who were less injured could only be put aside, after all, there were also wounded in the servant army, especially the servant army under Li Dahu, because of the desperate resistance of the Matsuura family, the casualties were quite large.
Cai Dao arranged for people to see the city gate that was blown open, and immediately asked his cooks to lead his subordinates to gather all the cooks of Songpu City together to cook dinner for the soldiers.
The food is simple, two sweet and savory rice balls and steaming ginger soup. The servant army ate in their mouths and warmed their hearts. Many of them worked as helpers, tenants, and even soldiers, but never had an employer cared so much about their suffering. Although they were all excited after the big victory, everyone was busy all night under the heavy rain, and now it is only the turn of spring and summer, and the weather is still a little cold, and if you don't pay attention, it is easy to cause a large-scale cold.
After dinner, Cai Dao asked Takagi to arrange for the servants to start taking turns to rest, and he deliberately vacated the mansions of the other Matsuura party henchmen except the castle lord's mansion for these soldiers to rest.
After the victory, it was a night without danger.
The next day, early in the morning, it stands to reason that it should have been the time to reward meritorious deeds.
However, Cai Dao made a decision that surprised everyone, and after everyone had breakfast, he immediately gathered the citizens of the whole city and gathered in Honmaru.
Others may not know what Cai Dao's decision is, but his subordinates, the dogs, know it. Because, the first thing to do is to judge the servant army who violated the military order last night.
Early in the morning, Fujiwara Lanling met Cai Dao, and he recorded the incident caused by the servant army last night in every detail, and handed it over to Cai Dao as soon as possible.
After hearing this, Cai Dao was not too angry, after all, whether it was a person who killed someone, or a person who was killed or injured, he was a Japanese countryman. And his own compatriots, Li Dahu, these dart masters and dogs, and their subordinates are still fighting for him, and so far, no one dares to openly violate his military orders.
But those servant troops are mixed, and there have been so many incidents of violating military orders, which is also expected by Cai Dao.
Cai Dao asked Fujiwara Lanling to recruit Takagi in and gave him the paperwork.
Takagi opened it and looked at it, and the details were as follows:
Some samurai led their men to openly break into the homes of some merchants, so as to rob and force women.
The most serious thing is that in order to prevent what he did from being exposed, there is also a guy who not only killed everyone, but actually set fire to the house where he committed the crime.
What's even more strange is that there is actually a team of servant troops who were originally chasing and killing some gangsters in the city who wanted to fish in troubled waters, and after entering the residence, they killed these gangsters, but then they forcibly protected this orphan daughter and widow. And the samurai they led were also negligent in their duties, and when they were pursuing, they didn't know where they had gone. By the time the big mistake was made, Fujiwara Lanling had already disarmed them all.
After reading the three typical cases, Takagi felt the same as Cai Dao in his heart, and he didn't feel much. Matsuura Party is a pirate background, and Takagi is a timid and cautious guy who also has a lot of dead souls in his hands. This kind of thing, not to mention in Hizen country, is also common in the entire Wa country. In fact, Takagi thinks that this Cai Guiren has done a very good job.
If this had been left to the rest of the people to capture Matsuura Castle, it would have been merciful not to let go of the slaughter of the castle.
Cai Dao didn't say anything about this matter, but just told Takagi that he handed over the power to Takagi in this trial, so it must be in place.
The reason why Cai Dao is such a newcomer to Takagi is that in fact, when he met Sayuri Takagi and Takagi Shinyouemon himself, Cai Dao had already decided to make him the guardian of Hizen Country.
It's just that this time, if the outcome of Takagi's trial is not satisfactory to him, Cai Dao has to choose another candidate.
After lunch, the people of the city were as docile as lambs to the slaughter. Although last night's heavy rain obscured the ships of these tragedies, the neighbors still knew what happened to their neighbors, but no one dared to resist.
Soon, the hastily set up Dharma field appeared in front of everyone.
Takagi announced the purpose of this trial loudly, and the people breathed a sigh of relief, and the servants secretly rejoiced in their hearts, fortunately they didn't faint last night, otherwise, they would have been punished today.
Last night's military operation was too smooth, and Fujiwara Lanling led people to patrol on the side, so there were not many teams that really violated military orders.
For these servants, Takagi and them are not related to each other, so the verdict came down quickly.
In the first category, all those who participated in the possession of gold and silver treasures were dismissed from their duties on the spot, and all those in their squad were punished with five lashes; Originally, according to the military order, UU read the book These people should be killed, but the things they hid privately were all the things of those injured Matsuura Party officers, and they did not directly enter the house to rob them, so Takagi opened the net.
Cai Dao did not object to this verdict, and the reason that Takagi said was also recognized by him.
In the second category, all the squads that participated in the strong female work but did not injure anyone were killed on the spot, and the rest of the squad members were whipped with 15 lashes.
Originally, according to the military order, as long as they participated in the strong female cadres, they must be beheaded. Takagi was also ready to make such a verdict, but Fujiwara Lanling objected. He said that because these officers recruited by Cai Dao composed of wandering warriors are much stronger in martial arts than the servant army in the squad, his identity as an officer naturally belongs to the dominant position, as long as the officer is the first to get started, will anyone else in the squad dare to disobey?
Cai Dao is not an opinionated person, Fujiwara Lanling, as an inspector, is on the front line, so he naturally understands the situation at that time better than Cai Dao, so Cai Dao also agrees with Fujiwara Lanling's suggestion.
Takagi made such a decision.
The third category is the squad that hurts people's lives, and all members are killed.
And the samurai who killed people and set fire to them was handed over to the citizens of Matsuura Castle and handed them over.
The fourth category is a special case. The team leader himself did not participate, but the other members of the team started to do good deeds, who knew that some people in the team coveted the appearance of the three orphan girls and widows. In the end, helping turned into a strong woman. At the time of the incident, the leader of the squad was nowhere to be found. Such a strange team, even Cai Dao thinks the captain of this team is ridiculous.
Because although they all participated in the strong female work, they did not directly hurt people's lives, so Takagi originally planned to punish them with a small punishment.
