Chapter 8: Prisoner Exchange (8)

During the probation period, the offender needs to apply in advance when he or she leaves his place of residence. Every Monday, you need to report to the local public security bureau. If the recently sentenced Song traitors live in an area where the land reform has been completed, the basic system of the local area already has a framework, and they can still be allowed to return to the local area. Those areas that have not established a system do not have the ability to enforce it, so they are left in Lin'an.

A large number of people, including Xiong Shang's cousin Lu Dingchuan, were left in Lin'an. Zhao Taiwei didn't torture them, but just arranged a job for them in the translation hall. Do the work of sorting out books and materials.

On the third day of the third month of the fifth year of the Republic, Zhao Taiwei announced the cancellation of the title of Lin'an. The name Lin'an refers to the meaning of Zhao's temporary settlement in Hangzhou after his southern crossing. At this time, Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, had been recaptured, so naturally there was no need for temporary shelter.

The news was published in the headline of the Da Song Daily, and a comment was made. The name Lin'an was only a change in the name of a place, which symbolized a significant political meaning. Retaking Bianliang is by no means the end of the road to the revival of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty is mixed with China, the prestige overseas, and the shock of the surrounding Xiaoxiao is the unstoppable future.

After reading this murderous front-page headline, Liu Jingwen in the translation hall couldn't stand it anymore. It's not that he has an opinion on the revival of the Great Song Dynasty, nor does he have an opinion on Zhao Taiwei. This murderous claim reminded Liu Jingwen of his son Liu Pet.

A few days ago, Liu Pet sent back letters, and after checking them, they were cut out with a knife along with the names of places and various contents related to the troops. So all that is left in the letter paper are holes. That was still the beginning, and now Liu Pet's letter no longer has the excitement and curiosity about the war, nor does he have the strong urge to share the war experience with his family.

Liu Chong just told his father that he had been promoted to sergeant and got along well with the comrades in the army. He still has more than a year to retire, and originally he really wanted to work in the public security department after retiring. However, recently, the army suggested that Liu Pet stay in the army to develop. As for what path to take in the future, Liu Pet also feels that it is a little difficult to choose.

Looking at his son's letter, Liu Jingwen felt that his son was no longer the stunned young man who was desperate when his brain was hot. He has begun to think seriously about his future. Just as he emphasized in his letter, he felt that his life was very fulfilling after becoming a soldier. To be a soldier in the people's army is to have a feeling of being very identified with yourself. He is not the old Song Army who used to have tattoos on his face and joined the army for a living. Rather, it is the guardian of the country of 'Takeshi Wufu, the dry city of the country'. Joining the army not only did not let him waste his youth, but gave him more room for development.

Liu Jingwen couldn't understand his son's experience in the army, what he could understand was that he would be given a job after retiring. None of the black-hearted officials in Lin'an were continued to be hired, and all the retired soldiers in the public security system were used. These retired soldiers are from innocent backgrounds and have been trained in the army, so they look very reliable.

Not only the public security system, but all the work in Taiwei Zhao's system that was originally undertaken by black-hearted officials is now all organized, and retired soldiers are often small bosses in it, and their salaries are higher than those recruited from the people.

But as a father, the thought that his son will fight the enemy in a bloody battle on the battlefield of blood and fire inevitably makes him feel worried. Liu Jingwen picked up the book he was about to consult, and his own troubles were born in his heart. The new 'colleague' is too eye-catching. One by one, they showed that they were persecuted, and what they said was that others were sorry for him, and they could not understand their good intentions when they were forced to surrender to Mongolia.

The remarks of these people made Liu Jingwen, a stalwart activist, feel a huge stimulus. He also felt that he was wronged, but he didn't dare to complain to himself like this. Surrendering to the Mongols, can it still be used as a moral model?

Liu Jingwen suddenly remembered one thing, the rules of the translation hall are that you can go home and write after checking the information. Anyway, it's good to take things out on time. He had decided that if the gang continued to make such a fuss, he would adopt this mode of work.

Liu Pet didn't know about his father's troubles. Now Sergeant Liu Chong is assigned to work in the cooking class, and he is also a cultural instructor in the company. The job of a cultural teacher is to make everyone read and write according to the latest work. For example, what everyone is learning is the term "ash road" and "hardened road".

Connecting the Zaozhuang open-pit mine to the ironworks and foundries are railroad tracks. The heavy ore transported every day of the day will cause the ground under the rails to settle, except for the stone subgrade under the sleepers, and the ground under the stone subgrade will be hardened with ash. Fortunately, the ash does not have to worry too much, there is slag mixed with the remaining cinder from burning coal to act as a pawn.

The cooking squad does not have to worry about the source of construction materials, they need to be concerned about figuring out the working hours of the troops and delivering meals to the construction site on time. The nutrition should be sufficient, the taste should not be too arousing, and it must not be unpalatable. This is not to torture people, but to prepare for war. If every day is an extremely delicious meal, when it comes to war, where can the field kitchen take care of so much. When the time comes, the taste is not right, and it will immediately affect the combat effectiveness. Liu Pet also received corresponding training after arriving at the cooking class, which gave him a deeper understanding of the army.

Cook the meal and send it to the troops. The company commander here asked with a straight face, "Have you seen Shi Jin?" ”

"Nope." Liu Pet replied.

When the company commander left with a straight face, Liu Pet appeared with a face full of anger. This is called Shi Jin is a very annoying thorn in the army, although the war is not very bad, but he prefers to be majestic in the army. But it seems that there is someone behind this guy, so the company commander can't do anything about him. Liu Pet could see that the company commander had put him in a position that was more prone to mistakes several times, and Shi Jin had made mistakes as expected. Therefore, the company commander has begun to successfully complete the chapter, and Shi Jin is not needed.

Just as he was cooking, Shi Jin appeared. Perhaps sensing that he was not in a situation where people were disgusted with dogs, Shi Jin's originally gloomy face was even more gloomy at this time. But I don't know why the anger on his body has been restrained a little, and it looks a little weird.

Liu Pet didn't think about it so much. His attitude is that good shoes don't step on stinky shit, and it's not that no one in the army has fought with Shi Jin, but both sides were punished afterwards. Even the commander can't help it.

That night, Liu Pet and the others had just fallen asleep, when suddenly there was some commotion in the camp, and Shi Jin shouted hysterically outside, "How dare you arrest me, do you know who my uncle is?" ”

The young people were so lively, and everyone who didn't fall asleep got up and looked at the door. saw that under the torches, Shi Jin was shirtless and was being tied up by several people from the military justice army. Suddenly, Shi Jin took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people to fly up and kicked away the combatants of the opposite military justice force, and wanted to escape when he broke free. The personnel of the military law force acted like lightning, and they chased after him and kicked Shi Jin to the ground. It was lightning fast and clean. It can be seen that the admiration in Liu Chong's heart is like a surging river.

Someone next to him couldn't help but start cheering. It can be seen that Shi Jin was cleaned up like this, and everyone was very happy.

After another two days, the troops in Zaozhuang gathered. There was a battalion of troops here, and when everyone arrived at the venue, they saw the words 'public trial conference' written in black and white. The military flag of the Song army is white and black, but the military flag is red, and it looks full of vitality and solemnity. Pure white paper and black letters, nailed to the reed mat as a background, it looks a little creepy.

In addition to the troops, many local people from Zaozhuang also came one after another. There were more than 1,000 people in a battalion, and about 1,500 people came. More than 2,000 people gathered in the audience. Shi Jin and two other warriors who were closer to him were brought onto the stage.

The public trial first named the perpetrators, and then announced the crime, and Shi Jin and the other three were guilty of raping a woman. Liu Pet was dumbfounded after hearing this, and the army repeatedly emphasized that raping women is a capital crime. Liu Chong never expected that Shi Jin and the others would have such courage.

Then the victim came forward to testify, and other witnesses also appeared one by one. Shi Jin still had a look of anger, but now he didn't speak, and he looked far less arrogant than before. Seeing that it was proved dead, Shi Jin suddenly shouted: "I know it's wrong, let me go." I'm willing to marry the daughter of that family! ”

Liu Pet was stunned at first after hearing this, and then felt that this was a solution. The three judges of the court-martial, after some deliberation, quickly wrote their verdicts. And began to read aloud,

“…… After investigation, Shi Jin and the other three were found guilty of raping women. According to military law, in the death penalty, immediately executed! ”

When the last paragraph of the trial reached Liu Chong's ears, he was stunned. There was a low voice from the surrounding troops, mostly sighs. It's one thing to sigh in a low voice, but no one pleaded with Shi Jin and the others.

"You can't kill me! How dare you kill me?! Shi Jin was already shouting at the top of his throat.

"Spare your life! We were just forced to go! The soldiers who followed Shi Jin wailed.

However, the troops did not care so much, and there was a crooked neck tree next to the public trial venue, on which a noose was hung. Someone here verifies his identity, and he hangs Shi Jin up first. He struggled so hard that he even lay on the ground and refused to stand on the stool. He who rolls around refuses to bow down to the law.

In the face of this ugly practice, the little sympathy that Liu Pet originally had turned into ashes in an instant. This guy used to be like this when he was playing tricks in front of his comrades.

The military law force directly put a rope around his neck, and several people lifted Shi Jin, who was writhing like a maggot, high. The person holding the head of the rope pulls the other end of the rope tightly. The military judge who carried the person shouted and let go together. Shi Jin hung in mid-air. Liu Pet also thought that this guy might have landed on his feet, and stood on tiptoe with other soldiers in the back row, but saw that Liu Pet's feet were less than a foot away from the ground.

Shi Jin writhed and bounced like a maggot in the air. The amplitude grew larger and larger, and finally, with a violent tremor, he began to tremble slightly in mid-air, and finally remained motionless.
