Chapter 131: Judgment
In the barracks of Jinling Wengcheng, Bai Tu sat on the handsome seat of the martial arts arena, and in the center of the stage was Pan Zhang, who threw himself to the ground, surrounded by hundreds of officers at all levels.
In the future, the Privy Council will be responsible for the trial of cases in the area of "military discipline", which is different from civil criminal litigation, and only military law is applied, and there are only two kinds of punishment - the death penalty, and "overdraft + never use".
After the death penalty of the former, it was a hundred, and the latter ...... He was then sent back to the Criminal Department and continued to be tried in accordance with the normal law.
Now the shelves of the Privy Council have not been erected, and Bai Tu will personally go to the trial!
If these officers had just come to Jinling, they had seen this scene, even if they knew what Pan Zhang had done, they would inevitably be a little sad - not necessarily with any bad ideas, but out of a sense of camp in human nature.
But now......
As soon as they arrived in Jinling, they were dragged away, and the rainbow farts were blown wildly, thinking about the stone monument of the Protector Temple, thinking about the children who looked at them in worship, and then thinking about it...... The salary and welfare promised by the lord.
The sense of honor has sprouted in their hearts, which has alienated them a lot from Pan Zhang, who "violated discipline and harmed the people", in terms of camp sense.
At the same time, the "welfare" promised by the lord also made them worry about it - surrendering under the order of the superior will not necessarily confiscate the settling-in fee, but plundering the people will definitely be repaid and deprived of all honors.
Moreover, Bai Tu also invited representatives of the victims, especially the representatives of the village where the dead people died, to count Pan Zhang's crimes.
Bai Tu did not invite anyone to defile the people's daughter, nor did he announce which village it was, but Bai Tu personally testified......
After that, Bai Tu also announced the punishment of the three Dubas and the six chiefs involved in this matter.
One of them, Dub, and three chiefs, were sentenced to death for their direct involvement in looting in which civilians died.
The other Dubor and the two chiefs were more serious because of the lesser of the circumstances...... When Pan Zhang did something too excessive, he didn't dare to bring these non-direct henchmen, so he was only sentenced to the limit of manpower, and then thrown to the criminal department.
Just like what Yuan Shu did to some of the generals of the Sun family, in the future, their physical strength will be far inferior to that of normal people, and this is only for their status as officers, and Bai Tu will make a ruling on behalf of the Privy Council, and then what they do will be further judged by the Criminal Department.
Contrary to the previous rumors, another Dubo and a chief were actually exempted from punishment - on the grounds that many victims testified that they would warn the village in advance, and when they plundered with Pan Zhang, they only superficially obeyed and secretly protected many people.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the illiteracy rate was nearly 100%, their eyes were also bright, and they were able to distinguish who was really in the same league with the thieves, and who was forced to be with the thieves and secretly protect themselves!
With these testimonies, both were pardoned by Baitu, but both were transferred out of their former army.
In addition, there was a Du Bo who was dismissed by Pan Zhang, who was specially invited back from Yangxian by Bai Tu.
This is what we really want to focus on propagating, not being in the same league as Shangguan, and being a good example, not only being rewarded with fields and property, but also being appointed as the new Sima of the other department, in charge of the Yangxian garrison!
In some "rumors" before, Bai Tu wanted to kill them all, and even those who didn't report it were guilty of the same crime!
If it weren't for Bai Tu's high popularity, and Lu Bu personally sitting in Jinling to defend the army, maybe it would really cause chaos.
However, now it seems that everyone understands that the previous rumors are simply fanning the flames - as long as you are clean, the lord will not treat everyone harshly, even if it is difficult to disobey the fate, at least ...... It is also necessary to do "yang and yin"!
This is only a deterrent for officers above the rank of captain at the front.
It is impossible for Bai Tu to encourage the army to report to each other now, otherwise the chaos at that time will not be a matter of cutting off one's own arm, but wielding a sword from the palace......
However, now that Bai Tu has made a correct demonstration, there is no need for the petty officers below to be in a dilemma, so as to avoid the corruption of the downward collapse because of the principle of absolute obedience of the upper and lower levels in the army.
As for the main culprit Pan Zhang himself......
"In addition to these, I have several other books about Pan Zhang, which are to praise him for his military ability...... Zhang Xing, you can read it to everyone. Bai Tu said suddenly.
Not to mention the officers below, even Lu Su and the others didn't expect that Bai Tu had prepared this.
It is said that at this time, it is too late to cover up his merits, and looking at Bai Tu's current meaning, he does not want to falsify these merits, and at the same time, it is not like "offsetting merits".
Zhang Xing is a former award-winning commander of the Chaisang garrison, he still looks very young, and it is relatively rare to belong to the officers from the peasant family - the vast majority of the officers, at least from the rich family, after all, the grassroots soldiers are made by extracting manpower, while ordinary farmers have been drawn more manpower, which also has an impact on the growth of future physical strength.
However, after Zhang Xing joined the army, he not only trained seriously, but also was diligent and studious, and he already recognized all the commonly used words.
At this time, the immature began to read Pan Zhang's exploits aloud......
"Some people may want to ask me, Pan Zhang also fought for Jiangdong, is what he did really unforgivable? I suggest you ask the families of the victims who are here, as well as ...... You can imagine if your parents, wives and children were killed by 'meritorious heroes' because of personal greed, would they still be able to accept that they would fight side by side with you as your comrades?
Zhang Xing, Song En, Bu Hu, Xu Zhu...... Answer to you, can you forgive this behavior? ”
Bai Tu pointed out a few, and there were also the names of officers whose relatives were killed by the rebellious army, Pan Zhang, Bai Tu, would definitely be killed, but he had to kill him with reason and evidence, and kill others convincingly!
Even if someone is unhappy, it must be unpleasant to be illuminated by the majestic image of Baitu, and they must not have the opportunity to take advantage of the crooked reason.
"Can't!" "Can't!" ...... "Unforgivable!" ”
Not only a few people who were called, but also many ordinary grassroots officers were also infected by this atmosphere.
Originally, there were really a few lieutenants who were hesitant to intercede, and even a small number of officers, who were from wealthy families who were dissatisfied with Bai Tu, wanted to use this to incite ......
However, seeing that this was already exciting, they also resolutely put away their thoughts - otherwise, let alone Bai Tu, I am afraid that the chief and even the chief of their subordinates will turn against them first.
"My lord, you will agree with what you say...... But Pan Sima is loyal to you after all, even if he is guilty, he will not have no chance, right? The last general is willing to pay 'redemption' on behalf of Pan Sima, and let him be under strict control under the command of the last general in the future, is this good? Suddenly, the voice of the head iron came out.
"Are you Xu You, the cavalry commander of Fuchun County?" Bai Tu recognized the man.
This is one of the people that Bai Tu focused on after the list of officers who came to Jinling came out - Fuchun is a county under Wu County, Xu's hometown, and Xu Duwei's background is unknown.
In several important armies, this kind of person will not be allowed to exist, but in the garrison force of the Fuchun garrison, there are many generals from wealthy families, which is a historical problem, there is no good reason, and Bai Tu is not good to get rid of them all for no reason.
And they are all just garrisons, and it is not harmful to really turn elbows and armpits, the Lu family and the Yu family also have this kind of clan, and even the garrisons of many small cities are "sponsored" by the family, which is part of the right power of the family, which is also in Baitu's plan for slow rectification in the future.
Xu You originally came to Jinling with the intention of making a big event, but now it seems that ...... He can only be disgusted and disgusted!
