In view of the severe situation in the Second City of Xiangfan, Wen Anzhi and other revival members held a meeting and believed that the return of their relatives might enhance the desire for survival of these poor people.
Otherwise, in the past five days, every day, women who were raped by the Song army committed suicide because of despair. The relevant personnel of the Ming army were too busy and very tired.
It was not an option to continue like this. No matter what, we couldn't just watch people who could survive die like that, so Wen Anzhi convened a meeting of military revival members to discuss this solution.
Xu Tong strongly supports this approach.
So he led the soldiers of the Second Division under his command to carry out this mission, responsible for bringing back the scattered original Xiangfan residents and reuniting their families.
Perhaps this can soothe their inner trauma to a certain extent and make them willing to live.
The soldiers of the Ming army fought desperately to conquer Xiangyang and sacrificed the people they finally saved. How could they just watch them die and survive?
But compared with men, some women's condition is indeed much more serious.
Because those Song soldiers didn't care about health and safety at all, they just vented like wild beasts. After venting their desires, they ignored them, and some even maliciously damaged the bodies of these women.
As a result, some women were not only seriously injured, but also infected with very difficult internal diseases.
Military doctors are generally not good at treating such diseases, so they can only request experienced doctors from the rear to come quickly for treatment.
This takes time.
But every day of waiting is one more day of pain for these women.
This is too painful for them.
The commander of the Corps, Zhang Yuejing, inspected the two cities of Xiangfan every day and saw all this. He wrote a report on everything that happened here and informed Su Yonglin, informed Su Yonglin of the military status quo, and then asked for punishment himself.
He believed that he had an unshirkable responsibility for the current situation. During the pre-war deduction, he ignored the harm that the Song army's tactics of strengthening walls and clearing fields could cause to the people, so he did not take them into consideration during the entire battle.
He was preoccupied with besieging the city, playing chess, and annihilating the main force of the Song army, but he did not hear the wailing of the people in the second city of Xiangfan.
As a general, he successfully captured the two cities of Xiangfan and won a decisive victory in the Battle of Xiangfan. He destroyed the main force of the Southern Song Dynasty's mobile army and made the Southern Song Dynasty no longer capable of large-scale counterattacks.
But as a revival member, he asked for discipline.
This report requesting punishment was also signed by Wen Anzhi, and later all the leaders of the Renaissance organization within the Henan Corps signed their names, collectively requesting punishment.
They felt very painful about what was happening in the Second City of Xiangfan, so while requesting punishment, they convened a public trial meeting to gather the people in the Xiangfan area to conduct serious interrogations of the captured Song prisoners.
First, all officers.
All the officers of the Song Army were taken out and interrogated one by one, asking them about the bastard things they had done.
After a period of questioning, it is basically certain that none of these officers are innocent. They are covered in blood and have committed heinous crimes. They bullied soldiers and oppressed the people, and they are full of sins.
So in the roar of the people of Xiangfan, they were beheaded one by one, hung up one by one and strangled to death.
In addition to officers, there are also soldiers.
Originally, the Ming army treated officers and soldiers separately, believing that soldiers were also oppressed and could be dealt with separately from officers.
But what happened in Xiangyang City and Fan City made them realize that in this war, no one was innocent or clean, so the soldiers were not spared.
The Ming army organized an identification scene. Only more than 10,000 Song army prisoners were organized, and the people of Xiangfan took turns to watch and identify the bastards who had insulted them.
As time went by, a large number of Song soldiers were identified, and some even rushed up and punched and kicked those Song soldiers because they could not control their emotions.
The Song soldiers who were identified were directly brought to the public trial platform for public trial, and executed on the spot, either beheaded or hanged, and they would not be spared.
An operation of this scale to identify mass executions requires a huge amount of energy and materials.
Some people think this is wasteful, but Zhang Yuejing and Wen Anzhi both firmly support it.
Compared with the people and public sentiment in the Xiangfan area, the more than 10,000 Song army prisoners are nothing to mention. Compared with the help that can be received here in the future, the current expenditure is nothing to mention.
They care more about the public sentiment of the hundreds of thousands of people here rather than the opinions of the Song army prisoners.
Putting everything aside, the Ming Army is the army of the people. It has been supporting them since its founding. If it cannot even do this, what is the purpose of the Ming Army?
The public trial will be held to the end, and no perpetrator will be spared.
More and more Song soldiers were identified as having committed horrific acts while guarding the city, and more and more Song soldiers were brought to the public trial and executed in public.
The resentment of the people in Xiangfan area always broke out, and they hated these Song soldiers beyond words.
It even happened that a woman bit a prisoner of Song soldiers to death.
It wasn't that Song Bing violated her, but that Song Bing not only violated her sister, but also strangled her sister to death while letting out his lust.
Right next to her.
As time went by, some soldiers of the Song Army realized that the Ming Army might not let them go at all, especially those who had evil intentions in their hearts. They were even more frightened, so they planned a collective escape incident.
More than a thousand Song prisoners tried to escape en masse, but they were surrounded by Ming cavalry and all were annihilated. No one was left.
The identification meeting continued, the public trial meeting continued, everything was proceeding step by step, and the suppressed anger of the people in Xiangfan area ushered in an explosion.
The highest point of the public trial meeting was the public trial of Wang Yan.
Wang Yan, as the planner and the person who issued the order of the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the country, was personally brought to the public trial platform by Zhang Yuejing at the public trial meeting with tens of thousands of people.
Zhang Yuejing announced Wang Yan's crime at the public trial, announced that Wang Yan was the culprit, and then announced his death sentence.
Zhang Yuejing drew his sword and prepared to chop off his head, but suddenly, he changed his mind.
"The one you offended is not me, but all the people in Xiangfan. Therefore, it is not me who should send you to purgatory, but them. They are your sufferers. Only they can judge you and execute you. I am not qualified to do so. , just let them decide how you want to die."
After saying that, Zhang Yuejing grinned, and under Wang Yan's surprised gaze, kicked Wang Yan off the trial platform.
Wang Yan screamed in pain and fell under the public trial platform in front of the onlookers of Xiangfan...
Zhang Yuejing did not participate in what happened next. He walked down the court and left without looking back.
Later, he learned that Wang Yan seemed to have been reduced to dust, and even if someone tried to collect his body later, they would not be able to collect it.
very good.
This way of dying suited him.
Zhang Yuejing was very happy.
