-- The military court, located next to the military headquarters building next to the administrative building, is a small reinforced concrete building, divided into two parts: internal and external.

The interior is used for private military trials, the outside is used for public military trials, and the outside is a large pergola.

As soon as two o'clock in the afternoon arrived, the military chief judge and military prosecutor dressed in heavy military uniforms entered one after another. The surrounding crowd had surrounded the external court-martial, and there were four tiers of grandstand seating alone.

"Silence, silence." The presiding judge shouted to the crowd over a loudspeaker, and the scene quickly fell silent.

"Take the defendant Ma Liubao."

Ma Liubao was quickly escorted up, only to see him in handcuffs and shackles.

Then, first of all, the prosecutor turned out the document and read it aloud: "This time, the East China Provisional Political Axe Procuratorate filed a public prosecution with the military court, and the defendant Ma Liubao, who served as the governor of Jiangxi on October 23, 1911, and brazenly launched a military invasion of Jiujiang in December 1911, resulting in about 300 civilians dying in the war, directly causing economic losses of more than 130,000 yuan, and killing 23 soldiers of the Fourth Reading Force Regiment of the East China Provisional Political Axe, seriously injuring 31 people, and slightly injuring 236 people......"

"Article 3 of the "War Law" stipulates that those who provoke or start a civil war in all forms and actions constitute a 'civil war crime', and the criminal party shall bear all the losses and culpability of the war, and Ma Liubao's brazen invasion of Jiujiang in December 19911 has violated Article 3 of the "War Law" and constitutes a civil war crime." The prosecutor shouted.

At this time, the presiding judge said to Ma Liubao: "Ma Liubao, can you plead guilty?" ”

"I'm not guilty." Ma Liubao replied loudly. The presiding judge turned to the prosecutor and asked, "Can the plaintiff have enough evidence to show that it was Ma Liubao who started the war in the first place?" ”

"There are both human and physical evidence." The prosecutor said and took out two telegrams, and then the telegram said: "These two are the telegrams between the two sides before the outbreak of the Battle of Jiujiang. ”

"The first is a telegram sent by Ma Liubao to me from the East China Provisional Political Axe, which says that if our East China Provisional Political Axe does not withdraw from Jiujiang, the Jiangxi side will take necessary measures, and the threat has been clearly revealed."

"The second telegram was sent by my East China Provisional Political Axe to the Nanchang Political Axe Army, and the content of the telegram was as follows: I hope that the Jiangxi side will give priority to the overall situation of the revolution, and if the troops fight each other, all the consequences will be borne by the Jiangxi Political Axe Reading Force, and our East China Provisional Political Axe will not bear any responsibility."

"Ma Liubao, have these two telegrams ever been true?" The presiding judge asked Ma Liubao.

"Fake, I haven't seen these two messages at all." Ma Liubao flatly denied it, and the presiding judge turned to the prosecutor and asked, "Does the plaintiff have any evidence to prove that these two telegrams are true?" ”

"We have a large number of witnesses to prove the real surnames of these two messages, please allow me to summon witnesses."

"Permission." The presiding judge said.

"Summoned witnesses He Honghao, Cao Ancheng, Lin Zecai, and Ruan Guozhu." The prosecutor called four witnesses in one go, and the eight men came up.

"Witness He Honghao, Nanchang military and political axe telegrapher, responsible for receiving telegrams to and from France, He Honghao, have you ever sent a telegram to the East China Provisional Political Axe?"

"Yes, I have sent an envelope, I have received one, and they are all sent and received in clear code."

"Could you please recall the content of the message you sent and received, and what the message you received? What was your attitude towards Ma Liubao at that time? ”

"At that time, Ma Liubao asked me to send a telegram, in which he threatened the East China Provisional Political Axe to withdraw from Jiujiang, and Ma Liubao's expression was a little fierce at that time......"

"After the East China Provisional Political Axe called back, Ma Liubao was furious after reading the translated telegram, saying that he would drive the Fujian Yankees out of Jiangxi......"

"The witness Cao Ancheng also worked as a telegraph operator in the Nanchang Military and Political Axe, is He Honghao's statement true?"

"That's right, that's right." Cao Ancheng replied.

"Witness Lin Zecai, Jiangsu military and political axe telegrapher, please recall, have you received these two clear-code telegrams?"

"Yes, I did."

"What time period?"

"It was November 10, and the two telegrams were about three hours apart."

"Ruan Guozhu, who is also a telegraph operator of the Jiangsu military and political axe, is Lin Zecai's statement true?"

"It's true."

"Presiding judge, after the witness testimony has been completed, all the testimony shows that when Ma Liubao was the governor of Jiangxi, he did make a verbal and military threat to our East China Provisional Political Axe, and our East China Provisional Political Axe also warned the Nanchang Military and Political Axe." The prosecutor said.

"After the ruling, the real surname of the message is true." The presiding judge ruled.

"In addition, on the evidence of Ma Liubao's brazen initiation of the civil war, the photographer of the Third Reading Force Regiment stationed in Jiujiang took a photo of the battle at that time, this photo is a photo of the vanguard sent by the Nanchang military and political axe suddenly raiding the south gate of Jiujiang, and this photo is the scene of our Third Reading Force Regiment being attacked by unknown people in the city when it was stationed at the south gate of Jiujiang...... The presiding judge is invited to take a look at it. The prosecutor pulled out a thick stack of photographs and explained.

In Xia Jun's troops, each company has a photographer, these photographers have recorded a lot of photos on the battlefield, the cameras they use are very advanced, and the photos are all color.

After reading the photos, the presiding judge asked the prosecutor: "Does the plaintiff have any other evidence?" ”

"Yes, please allow us to summon the people of Jiujiang to testify."

"Permission."

"Summoning the people of Jiujiang to testify in court."

Soon a large crowd of ragged people came up, and when they came up, they began to tell the story of the day.

"I was burning straw on the outskirts of the city that day, and then I saw a large group of officers and soldiers coming, and then I heard shots being fired at the south gate, and then those officers and soldiers rushed in through the south gate, at least six or seven thousand people......

"I was also outside the South City Gate that day, I just went out of the city and heard the soldiers on the South City Gate and a group of people fighting, I hurriedly ran, did not run far, I saw the Jiangxi New Army from a distance to kill, they rushed directly from the South City Gate, and then there were a lot of gunshots in the city, basically did not stop, I ran to hide far away under the ridge to see, waited probably, maybe more than an hour! And I saw that the new armies that had rushed into the city had been driven out of their formation......"

"It is ...... that the prisoners of the Jiangxi New Army came to testify in court"

After a while, a group of captives also came up to testify, and Ma Liubao was in the face of human and material evidence, and any quibbling was to no avail.

"According to my ruling, the evidence that Ma Liubao started a civil war is conclusive, Ma Liubao, do you plead guilty?" The presiding judge asked Ma Liubao.

"I'm not guilty." Ma Liubao still shouted strongly.

"The presiding judge has three minutes to plead your case, please state your reasons......"

"I ...... I...... Who are you to judge me? Yes! What qualifications do you have? Ma Liubao quickly fell into a frenzy, shouting and questioning, and the two policemen next to him quickly twisted the horn.

"After judgment, Ma Liubao's defense reasons do not take effect." The presiding judge said expressionlessly, "I will give a specific sentence after consulting with the judge......

After about five minutes, the presiding judge returned to his place, only to see him say in a loud voice, "Stand up. ”

Everyone stood up, and then the judge announced in a loud voice: "Now I pronounce the verdict, after the trial of the Supreme Military Court of our East China Provisional Political Axe, Ma Liubao is guilty, he started a civil war, violated Article 3 of the "War Law" of our East China Provisional Political Axe, and killed 336 civilians in the war, and killed 23 soldiers of the Fourth Reading Force Regiment of our East China Provisional Political Axe, to 31 seriously injured, 236 lightly injured, causing direct economic losses of more than 130,000 yuan, indirect economic losses cannot be estimated, has constituted a serious civil war crime, should have been sentenced to death, Because of his bad attitude in admitting guilt in response to the revolution, Ma Liubao was sentenced to 151 years in prison and 238 years in prison, a total of 389 years, deprived of political rights for life, confiscated all his family property, and pronounced the sentence with immediate effect......"

In the judicial punishment of the East China Provisional Political Axe, imprisonment and imprisonment are two concepts, the former is to restrict personal freedom and labor at the same time, and the labor intensity is divided into three levels, with the highest level 1 and the lightest level 3. The latter did not have to work, was kept all day long, and was better paid.

Hearing this sentence, those reporters couldn't help but be shocked.

"Isn't that ridiculous? Who will live to 389 years? ”

"That's it!"

"However, there is also a basis for the punishment, that is, the legitimacy of this "Law of War" needs to be questioned."

"Win the king and defeat the king! And it was Ma Liubao who took the lead in provoking the civil war. ”

These reporters have a lot of discussions, each with their own opinions.

Then, it was Chen Qimei's turn to be tried in court.

Chen Qimei is what everyone pays more attention to, and as soon as Chen Qimei comes up, she holds her head high.

"Chen Qimei, on the evening of October 19, ordered the Shanghai army led by the order to take the lead in firing at our Jian'an Reading Battalion, so that our Jian'an Reading Battalion killed 2 people on the spot, seriously injured 5 people, killed 3 people, and slightly injured 8 people......"

The procuratorate was well prepared, and they found a large number of witnesses, including captured prisoners and armed members of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, who testified in court one by one.

"Chen Qimei, do you admit the above accusations?" The presiding judge asked Chen Qimei.

"I ......" Chen Qimei looked around, struggling violently in her heart, just now Ma Liubao pleaded guilty and had a bad attitude and was sentenced to a heavy sentence, Chen Qimei struggled for a long time, and suddenly replied dejectedly: "I am guilty." ”

"The defendant has pleaded guilty to the crime, and the presiding judge will consult with the judge and give a sentence later......"

"Stand up...... After trial by this court, Chen Qimei was found guilty, and he violated Article 3 of the "War Law" of the Provisional Political Axe of East China, constituting a civil war crime, and he was sentenced to 43 years imprisonment in the second degree and deprivation of political rights for 50 years, and the sentence took effect in a timely manner...... Retire from court! ”

Then, Ma Liubao and Chen Qimei were escorted down, and Chen Qimei will be tried by the East China Provisional Political Axe Supreme People's Court tomorrow.

The truth was also revealed about the murder of revolutionaries by the Provisional Political Axe in East China, and the reporters of various newspapers hurriedly wrote the manuscripts and sent them back to the press in the fastest possible way......
