Chapter 324: Threats

Under Ren Chao's instructions, the special court quickly cleared up the crimes of Yiketanga and others, and finally sentenced more than 60 rebel generals such as Yiketanga and Guo Buluo Changshun to death and execute them immediately! In addition to Iktanga and more than a dozen of his subordinate generals committed suicide because they had participated in the war against Japan and were authorized by Emperor Guangxu to commit suicide. The remaining 40 or so people were escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded for public display. Originally, according to the previous laws of the Qing Dynasty, this crime of rebellion was to be sentenced to death by Ling Chi, and it was to exterminate the nine clans. However, after the introduction of the new policy, torture such as Ling Chi has been abolished, and the criminal law that harms the family such as the extermination of the Nine Clans has also been abolished. However, the ancient death penalty method of beheading was deliberately retained by Ren Chao, not because Ren Chao cherished those bullets, but because beheading was more shocking.

In addition to these culprits, more than a hundred other rebels were sentenced to life in prison, and hundreds were sentenced to prison terms ranging from five to twenty years. However, these men, along with more than 100,000 rebels, were sent to various mines to work as coolies. However, those ordinary soldiers only need to work for one year, and they can decide to stay according to their own wishes, they can return to their hometowns to work in agriculture, or they can stay in the mines and enjoy the treatment of ordinary workers. And if the table is good, there is still a chance to get a commutation.

"You can't do this to me, you hateful yellow-skinned monkeys, how long do you want to keep me in prison. I warn you, you release me immediately, otherwise our Great Russian Empire will not let you go, and our heroic Tsarist army will definitely break through the city of Beijing and kill all you hateful fellows! In a secluded courtyard in Beijing, Alekseev's roar suddenly came. After Alekseev was captured outside the city of Jilin, he was quickly taken directly to Beijing, where he was placed under house arrest. At first, Alekseev was still very scared, for fear that these rude and barbaric Chinese people would hurt him, but after a few days, these chemical fiber people did not do anything excessive to him. After coming to Beijing, he was served with good food and drink every day, but his personal freedom was restricted. His range of activities is limited to the small courtyard in front of him. However, Alekseev saw that these Chinese people did not mean to hurt themselves. I was relieved. Gradually, he began to be bold, and today this guy really couldn't stand such a depressing life, and scolded loudly at the Tiger Ben Army officer who had always been by his side.

The lieutenant colonel officer in front of him was named Ye Feng, and he was sent by Ren Chao to guard Aleksayev. Ye Feng didn't care about Alekseev's abuse, and still had that spring breeze smile on his face, "Your Excellency General, I have to remind you that this is Beijing, not St. Petersburg, please pay attention to your words and deeds." I can tolerate you, but my soldiers are grumpy and reckless. If you continue like this, it is likely that something very unpleasant will happen. You see the guards are already holding their guns tightly, oh! Oh my God! If you look at the green tendons on their hands, it's clear that they're very angry right now. ”

Alekseev followed Ye Feng's gaze, and sure enough, he saw that the two guards standing at the door had already held the rifles in their hands tightly, and anger appeared on their faces. Alekseev was so frightened that he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his body couldn't help but take a step back, and it took a long time to react, probably feeling that he was too embarrassed by what he had just done. Alekseev swallowed. Forced to say quietly, "Are you threatening me?" I tell you that I will not be intimidated by your threats. ”

Although he said this, Ye Feng could already hear that this old man was obviously lacking in confidence, and his voice trembled a little. It shows that this guy is still very scared in his heart. What a bad seed, Ye Feng scolded with disdain in his heart, but there was still a trace of a harmless smile on his face, "No! No! No! Your Excellency, General, you are completely misunderstood. I'm definitely not threatening you, I'm just stating a fact. Oh, by the way, forget jì sue sù you. These soldiers all came back from the Northeast, and they all had comrades or brothers who died on the battlefield in the Northeast, so they hated the Russians the most. And most importantly, I'm just a lieutenant colonel in the General Staff, and these soldiers are not under my control, so I can't do anything if they really do anything excessive! Ye Feng said with a disappointed face.

"Ahh Alekseev couldn't help but exclaim softly, obviously frightened by Ye Feng's words. He sat down in his chair and looked at the two guards again in panic, and when he saw that the two were still glaring at him with angry faces, Alekseev couldn't help but shiver. With trembling hands, he picked up the teacup next to him, wanting to take a sip of tea to calm down.

"Oh! Your Excellency, you don't have to worry, if they dare to mess around, I will at once go to the post office and send a telegram to their superiors, and let their superiors discipline them. Rest assured that this is not far from the post office, and it should be in time. Ye Feng said with a smile.

Alekseev couldn't help but curse in his heart, although he knew that this guy was probably scaring himself. But Alekseev did not dare to joke with his own life, after all, life is precious, and there is only one. Alekseev's hands trembled and put the teacup that almost fell to the ground on the table, calmed down, and said, "I want to see your commander, I want to see Ren Chao!" I want to meet your Emperor Xià, you can't do this to me. ”

"Your Excellency, General, I'm very sorry, our Emperor is very busy, and I don't have time to see you. Our marshal has been very busy lately, and is busy fighting against your Tsarist army, so I'm afraid I won't have time to see you anytime soon. But it doesn't matter, our Dashuai already knows about your arrival, and Dashuai is very happy, so I think Dashuai will take time to see you soon, so during this time, please stay here and wait patiently! Ye Feng said with a smile.

"And when will he see me?" Alekseev hurriedly asked.

"I don't know about this, you also know that I'm just a small staff officer, and I can't say anything about the big handsome. But it should be soon, maybe a day or two, maybe three or four days, maybe ten days and half a month...... Or maybe ten or twenty years. Ye Feng still maintained that smile like a spring breeze on his face, but the words he said made Alekseev fall into an ice cave, ten or twenty years? Maybe Lao Tzu will live to that time? (To be continued......)
