Chapter 13: The Great Trial of the Bandits
Three days after the suppression of bandits, all the bandits were escorted to Anqing City, Anqing's prison was not enough and specially made a lot of cells in the open space outside the city, Qin Yu's big bandits were praised by many people, and even reported on the newspaper Anqing New Army's exploits in suppressing bandits, Anqing County Commander also specially came to praise this operation, Qin Yu also entered the eyes of the Qing court, and was appointed as the commander of Anhui Xiedu, and most of his subordinates were promoted.
As for the Qing court will appoint Qin Yu unusually, it is also a last resort, the Empress Dowager Cixi just died, and Cixi was born in Anhui, Qin's firm bribed Cixi's old family, although Cixi passed away but Yu Wei is still there, Xuantong is just a little child, plus the revolutionary party's troubles, the Qing court urgently needs stability and the strength of Qin's firm is favored.
Qin Yu doesn't care about this, he now has to consolidate his strength and increase his influence on the people, there are still two years of time to prepare for him, and the time is very urgent.
There is nothing more important to increase the influence of the people than the trial of the bandits, which can not only gain the trust of the people but also suppress Xiaoxiao, so Qin Yu quickly asked people to announce that the trial of the bandits would be launched in the center of Anqing City in five days.
Notices were posted everywhere in southern Anhui that the bandits were about to be tried, and a group of people were gathered around the notices, and those who were illiterate asked what was written on them, and a show read:
Some time ago, the Pontic Commandery led the soldiers to suppress the bandits, and after arduous battles, he finally succeeded in cleaning up the bandits in southern Anhui, and also captured a large number of bandits who were full of evil, and the merchants of southern Anhui could carry out commercial activities without worry, and the Bendu Commander and the Anqing County Decree agreed to try the bandits in Anqing City five days later, and the people who were persecuted by the bandits in various places could come to accuse the bandits of their crimes, and the people from all over the country were welcome to come and supervise.
In the lower right corner of the notice, there are the stamps and dates of Qin Yu and the governor of Anqing.
After the show finished reading, the onlookers rioted and discussed loudly, "Who is that, how can you finish suppressing the bandits in southern Anhui?" ”
"Did you say it's fake again, in the past, the government used to catch some little thieves and say what kind of Jiangyang thieves?"
"You see that the governor's seal on it should not be fake, doesn't it say that we should supervise, we can just take a look at it then."
“……”
“……”
At this time, the Xiucai spoke: "I know this all, it is the young owner of the Qin family's trading house, that is a top student of the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, the school of Westerners knows no, he graduated very early, even the emperor of Germany wants to keep him as a general, I heard that he has not been home for a long time to see his mother refused, he is a first-class stick with the army." ”
Someone asked, "How do you know this, is it so powerful?" ”
Na Xiucai said proudly: "That is, I have a classmate in the school who is in the same school as Qin Du, how can I not know." ”
"Oh"
"Oh"
Like this scene is staged in the whole of southern Anhui, people like Xiucai are all entrusted by Qin Yu to arrange for the Qin family to be sent, and after such publicity, Qin Yu's name has also begun to spread throughout southern Anhui and even to other provinces.
In the past few days, Qin Yu has been arranging and arranging a large number of troops at and near the trial site to prevent those excited people from stampeding and other incidents to disrupt the order of the scene, otherwise it will be self-defeating.
Soon it was the day of the trial, and there were people everywhere at the trial site, and the soldiers who maintained order were very difficult, because these bandits had done countless bad things, and too many people wanted to watch their trial.
Suddenly, a team of soldiers separated the crowded crowd, and another team held shields and wooden sticks to form a human wall to leave a road, Qin Yu and Anqing County Commander rode horses in front, and the soldiers behind escorted those bandits, but they were all separated from those bandits a little distance.
"That's Qin Dutong, so young!"
"Do you see that is the big boss of Huangshan, didn't he kill your son, and there will be this day on the dog's day."
"He killed my son and ruined my daughter-in-law, and I want to drink his blood, ah......"
"Smash him, I'll smash"
One rotten egg after another smashed at these bandits, and there were a lot of rotten vegetables or something, but fortunately the soldiers didn't get too close or they would have suffered, and the corners of their mouths twitched when they looked at the stinky bandits, and if they were smashed one or two, it would be over.
By the time they arrived at the judgment platform, these bandits were no longer human, and their whole bodies were stinking, but there were still many people who wanted to rush past the soldiers' interception and go to the stage to fight the bandits, and those soldiers felt that this was more painful than their devil training.
Qin Yu, who was on the stage, looked at the chaotic scene under the stage, and when he shouted loudly that it was useless to calm down, he took out his gun and fired three shots into the sky, and suddenly the audience fell silent, Qin Yu shouted loudly: "Now the trial begins, everyone should not quarrel, wait until after the trial to talk about what you want, now I invite those people who have been hurt by these bandits to come to the stage to identify and complain." ”
Saying that, a bunch of people ran up to the stage and went to the bandits one by one, and when they realized that they were the bandits who had hurt them, they all became loud and painful, and they were accusing them of their crimes.
"It's him, who ruined my daughter, woo, please make the decision for me."
"He killed my son"
"He robbed me of the money I used to save my mother last year, and my mother died."
“……”
“……”
“……”
After a few hours, the trial was finally over, and there were still many people who didn't have time to complain, Qin Yu and the governor of Anqing announced that these bandits were all death sentences, but they couldn't let them die so happily, and decided to hand them over to the people present, after Qin Yu and the county order walked out of the scene, the soldiers left those bandits and ran away in a hurry, and the scene immediately began to get out of control, and all the people rushed to the bandits on the stage.
In just a few minutes, the bandits were torn apart by the populace, which shows the resentment of the populace against these bandits, and the fact that there were no stampedes.
Qin Yu's trial won the trust of the people in southern Anhui, and also deterred those who wanted to fall into the grass, and there have been no bandits with a scale greater than 100 people in southern Anhui so far. Qin Yu's prestige in southern Anhui even surpassed those famous families for a while, many people wanted to join the new army in Anqing, and his action also fell into the eyes of the revolutionary party, many revolutionary parties wanted to find Qin Yu to propagate revolutionary ideas, and in the revolution, Qin Yu's joining the revolutionary party was in line with Qin Yu's own idea of asking for the people's life.
After the trial, Qin Yu left one-third of the materials obtained from the crackdown on the bandits to the people who suffered near the bandits' dens, one-third handed them over to the Qing court, and left one-third for himself to improve the army's wages and food.
Although it was only a third, it was a lot, and it was converted into more than a million pieces of silver, and those soldiers were looking at the money, and after sending the money to the casualties, they began to send money to the soldiers, the least was a piece of the ocean, and the most was seven or eight yuan.
After getting this, Qin Yu felt that he was not doing very well, he still had a long way to go to get the support of the majority of farmers, and he also had a headache here, but fortunately, he noticed it a few years ago and left a foreshadowing.
