[No pop-up novel website] According to reports from civil cadres, there are both women and men in the troupe. The Senate needs these women, but it does not need the men behind these women. In the old time and space, any prostitute group was secretly controlled by pimps: Hair-washing girls in Wenzhou and nightclubs everywhere are like this. Without the escort of these people, they simply cannot operate. This kind of theater troupe in this time and space is a mobile brothel. The middle-aged men in the theater are the ones who control this group of actors and women. Having been oppressed and controlled by them for a long time, I have a habitual dependence and fear on them, so these men must disappear.
"Take them away and hand them over to the military court to punish them as bandit organizers," Zhu Mingxia instructed the orderly soldiers.
Gallows were built when Qipao Island began to accept refugees - the arbitral tribunal issued two authorization certificates, authorizing the northward detachment to set up a military court on Qipao Island and Jeju Island to serve as a legal basis for temporary disposal.
The military court was set up in this refugee camp for the sole purpose of intimidating nearly 10,000 people gathered together. Without strong violent means to maintain order, it would become an out-and-out hell on earth.
Once the gallows was put into use, it was never used. The bodies of the hanged prisoners would not be taken down until the next unlucky person was hung.
An hour later, the messenger delivered the verdict - Zhu Mingxia was also the president of the military court.
He flipped through the materials: the structure was clear, the evidence was conclusive, the indictment, testimonies, and confessions were all available. In addition to the crime of banditry, a series of additional crimes were also added: human trafficking, intentional injury, illegal detention, illegal torture, crowd fighting, etc. Of course the crime was, it was strange that there was no such thing in such a troupe at that time
Zhu Mingxia nodded with satisfaction: The young men memorized the laws really well. This way, everything seems reasonable and legal - "governing the country according to law" cannot be abolished.
"In the name of the Senate and the people, I order the following persons to be dealt with as necessary." He signed his name after this line and handed the document to the messenger, "to be executed immediately."
After executing the people who should not exist, Zhu Mingxia felt in a good mood. He looked out the window: in the small square next to the village, dead cattle, dead horses, dead mules and other livestock were being skinned. In the evening, they were going to use these livestock meat to improve the food of the northward detachment. , these days the northbound detachment is having a hard time eating, except for being full, it is no different from the refugees. There is very little supply of fresh vegetables here, let alone meat.
Even Zhu Mingxia himself had not eaten fresh meat for a long time. Instead of feeling disgusted when he saw this scene, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. Then he told the orderly: "Tell the cooking team to get some steak first, and then some radish and beef meatballs." There are also beef tendons, with more pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, and cumin..."
While talking, Lu Wenyuan and Chen Sigen also came, both of them in high spirits: they had just drafted a telegram to Lingao, reporting on this major victory, and at the same time requesting an increase in the frequency of dispatching ships.
The message was read and signed by Zhu Mingxia and then it was sent out in the name of the Jeju Island Front Command. Although this was not a great victory, it at least showed that the northward detachment had established a firm foothold in Shandong and everything was running normally for the engine operation.
"If the ship cannot arrive in time, hundreds of people will freeze to death if it snows in a few days." Lu Wenyuan said with some regret, "It would be a waste for us to capture so many prisoners."
"Zhao Yingong sent a message last time, saying that he was trying to solve it - how will he solve it?" Zhu Mingxia was also very worried about this problem. "It was not easy to get a lot of people, so don't let a lot of people die again."
He didn't have any objections to the message. As a military officer, even if he didn't brag about his "good command," he would still be able to get away with it.
After signing, Lu Yang came and reported that all the bodies had been discarded.
"It's done - my big hair is covered in blood and needs to be washed thoroughly..." He complained, "Isn't it better to just bury it? It's like fertilizing the land -"
"It's too difficult to dig a hole in the cold weather." Zhu Mingxia shook his head and said, "Besides, if we don't get it right, we have to consider the problems of plague and groundwater pollution. It's better to throw it into the sea. You can think of it this way. Burying it in the ground is the best way to do it." Fertilizer, throw it into the sea and treat it as fish farming. Anyway, the elders have established themselves in Jeju and Shandong, and large-scale development of local fishery resources should be put on the agenda soon. This will not only solve a large part of the food problem, but also supplement the urgently needed protein. What a great thing”
Lu Wenyuan laughed: "Sir Zhu, your comprehensive utilization level is not high. If the people from the planning institute were here, they would definitely shave the dead people's heads, sterilize them with high-temperature steam and make them into cold-proof felts, insoles, etc.; throw the corpses into biogas The pond is decomposed to produce biogas to keep the refugees warm and cook, the biogas slurry fertilizes the fields, and the residue is fed to pigs. If there is too much leftover, it is thrown into the sea to feed fish and carry out fishery production..."
"Stop talking, I'm about to throw up." Chen Sigen frowned and said, "I don't even want to eat fish after what you said."
"Okay, let's not complain about the Planning Institute. I want Xiao Lu to send a boat to contact Sun Yuanhua tomorrow," Zhu Mingxia said, "The first is to give him a gift, and the second is to see if we can help him strengthen Laizhou's defense. Kong Youde They have suffered such a big loss, so they will attack Laizhou fiercely."
"The headquarters has already sent a message. They will soon send a veteran to take charge of Laizhou's defense and Sun Yuanhua's liaison work. Let us find a suitable opportunity to help him establish a relationship with Sun Yuanhua," Lu Wenyuan said
"Eh? Isn't this person me?" Lu Yang was disappointed
"You will be busy soon - you are the captain of the naval detachment, not a diplomat. If you don't do your own job, what do you want to do with Lao Sunpao?" Chen Sigen gave him a malicious look.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Yang could only nod, "I respect Mr. Huo Dong very much..."
"It's not good to revere him. We just need to respect him," Zhu Mingxia said. "In this case, we have to find a suitable opportunity. Either we don't give our gifts now, and we give them together when someone comes - let him see his love."
"Agree, we have to find the right time." Lu Wenyuan nodded, "Today is the 24th of January. In a few days, the rebels will fight in the town with the officers and soldiers led by Yang Yufan and Wang Hongtong, so I think we will There is no need to rush and wait for these officers and soldiers to be defeated. You can go and see the situation when the people in Laizhou City are panicked."
Another effect is that Yang Yufan and Wang Hong lost the battle, but Sun Yuanhua won the battle. Reporting it at the same time would be of great benefit in reducing Sun Yuanhua's guilt.
"I didn't expect you had many ideas," Chen Sigen praised, "I think this is feasible."
Zhu Mingxia also expressed his agreement and everyone unanimously decided to wait until the officers and soldiers suffered a defeat before going to "give gifts"
Zhu Mingxia also ordered the formation of a special force, preparing to wait until the rebels finished beating the officers and soldiers on January 30 to "pick up foreigners", even if they brought back some dead horses and mules.
After fighting the rebels, they were depressed for a few days. The three people on Qiqi Island were waiting for the rebels to contact them. However, the special reconnaissance team that went to Dengzhou to investigate came back, and they also brought some prisoners.
Seeing these languid figures wrapped in dirty cotton robes in the yard, Lu Wenyuan immediately knew who they were.
These are the former officials of Dengzhou who were captured after the city was destroyed: Song Guanglan of Dengzhou Military Preparatory Department, Wang Zheng of Liaohai Supervisor of Military Affairs, Zhang Tao, General of Fubiao...
According to the report of the special reconnaissance team, they discovered during surveillance that these people were deported by the rebels. The rebels were very polite and not only sent people to escort them out of the city, but also gave each of them several mules, servants, and luggage.
The special reconnaissance team had received the relevant orders a long time ago, so they naturally refused to let go and immediately sent people to follow and monitor them. After the group was far away from the city, they launched a surprise attack, eliminated the escorting rebel cavalry, and captured all the remaining people.
A brief interrogation of the captured rebels and servants proved that these people were captured Dengzhou officials.
"You guys did a good job." Lu Wenyuan patted the team members' shoulders vigorously, turned to Chen Sigen and said, "I want to give them credit."
"No problem" Chen Sigen smiled and nodded, "Great job"
Catching these officials will eliminate one of Sun Yuanhua's biggest problems. The so-called "unified caliber" is also very important.
"Send all these people to the village to bathe in bathing clothes, and then give them a physical examination. We will prepare a banquet later to calm them down." Lu Wenyuan paid attention to his men. "The luggage and servants will be returned to them, but they are not allowed to move freely. Put them all under house arrest.”
When Dengzhou City was captured, most of the civil and military officials either surrendered to the rebels or committed suicide. Those who refused to surrender or committed suicide like them were very few. This made these officials suspected by the court of "surrendering to the enemy" after being released by the rebels. The main evidence for "rebellion" is that for the senators, the motives of these people who refused to commit suicide were not surprising at all: most of these people were Catholics. Suicide is a serious crime for Catholics, and the Pope must personally pardon it after death.
There are actually so many Catholic high-ranking officials gathered in this small city of Dengzhou. Sun Yuanhua indeed regards his fellow believers as his most reliable assistants. Speaking of which, it sounds a bit like a small Dengzhou Catholic clique.
However, Zhu Mingxia understood his approach very well: the system created by Sun Yuanhua was not something that ordinary officials and literati of the Ming Dynasty could understand and accept, and it was understandable to engage in small groups.
Although these officials are useless, they are Sun Yuanhua's best allies: they are colleagues in Sun Yuanhua's career and church members. Now they are facing the same crisis and can easily be persuaded to cooperate. Helping Sun Yuanhua is helping himself. This simple truth They won’t understand that as long as they understand the current situation, they will follow the prepared plan. rs
