Kai Fu Han

Chapter 551 Judgment
On April 26, the First and Second Fleets set off from Penglai and headed south to Hangzhou.

There are more than 200 cargo ships traveling with us.

Gao Yuan personally led the team and strived to have the second fleet return to Penglai before the end of May to cooperate with the fourth brigade's strategy.

This time, there were three generals, Gao Yuan, Zhao Liang and Ye Chuan, in charge of the trip south. Liu Xinqi felt reassured, so he did not follow him.

Ye Chuan had done a good job blocking the Qiantang River mouth before, otherwise the Xinghan Alliance would not have been able to gather [-] cargo ships this time.

.....
On May [-], Liu Xinqi received a piece of good news.

All Bohai Rim strategies have been completed.

Hebei East Road, Zhongdu Road, Beijing Road, Tokyo Road and the Liaodong Peninsula around the Bohai Sea were all occupied by the Xinghan League.

Even Haelan Road was overfulfilled by the rebels.

Let the Xinghan League also have an outlet in the Sea of ​​Japan.

Haelan Road belonged to the Jin Kingdom before and later to North Korea. In any sense, the Xinghan Alliance definitely expanded its territory.

Liu Xinqi was very excited when he heard the news and drank a few more kilograms of wine in the evening.

When wine is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicated. Liu Xinqi hasn't been this happy for a long time.

Zhou Yue, who was five months pregnant, was waiting nearby. She was proud of Liu Xinqi and thought to herself: "My unborn child is really lucky. He was born into the most powerful family in the world."

Then he secretly rejoiced: "My life is better. I am married to the most powerful person in the world. This person also loves me very much and only loves me."

"The trial is set for May [-]th. Then we can truly avenge our father." Liu Xinqi said to himself while drinking.

Zhou Yue knew that Liu Xinqi didn't need anyone to talk to him at this time, so he just poured wine silently beside him.

……

On May [-], the soldiers with higher merits from each brigade arrived in Penglai one after another, and some brave soldiers in the rebel army were sent back to Penglai in advance.

On May [-]th, the celebration officially began.

According to the usual practice, we first paid homage to the martyr's mausoleum located in Hongshi Mountain, and then returned to Penglai to hold a grand commendation meeting on the military camp ground.

After the commendation meeting was the celebration banquet. All the participating soldiers were allowed to attend the banquet. The standard of the banquet was very high. The standard of a table of meals for ten people exceeded five taels of silver.

"This will make people who didn't come feel unbalanced." Liu Xinang and Liu Xinqi were sitting at the same table, eating enthusiastically.

"Some of those with higher merit may be because others were unable to come, and compensation will be arranged later. As for others, if they want to participate in a celebration banquet of this size, they must make more meritorious deeds. We are not just hosting this one time." Liu Xinqi added I took a piece of steamed fish and put it in my mouth.

Very tender, very fragrant, and very suitable for my current mood.

"Tomorrow is the public trial. Do you really plan to kill both the two kings of Jin?" Liu Xinang asked.

"Yes, you two princes, you feel that any use is better than killing, right? Don't think about it again?" Liu Xinyuan, who was at the same table, interjected.

"What else are you thinking about? I'm already very merciful by not putting those guilty Jin soldiers in the capital." Liu Xinqi's good mood was not disturbed.

Jingguan, a high tomb built to show off martial arts, gather enemy corpses and seal the earth.

In the past few days, several brigade commanders in Penglai have come to persuade me.

He said that the two princes could be exchanged for great benefits, so it would be a pity to kill them directly.

Others said that even if the two were replaced, their threat to the Xinghan League would not be too great. The current military capabilities of the Xinghan League completely suppressed the Kingdom of Jin. disparity.Liu Xinqi has always insisted on the previous decision that the two must offer sacrifices to the victimized people and soldiers, and has comforted the spirits of these unjustly dead people, including his own father.

May [-]th, Penglai City North Gate Square.

The north gate is connected to Penglai Port, and the cargo volume is very large. In the past two years, the city gate has been expanded. The gate tower is six feet high, making it look very tall and majestic.

The square outside the city gate is very broad and extends all the way to Penglai Port. It is entirely made of cement concrete and is flat. There are expansion joints cut every two feet square.

From the dawn of day, people began to gather in the square, and there were guards to maintain order.

As the sun rose, more and more people gathered in the square.

On May [-]rd, [-]th, and [-]th, three issues of the newspaper continuously advertised that all the people in Penglai, from young children to the elderly, basically knew that a public trial of war criminals from the Jin Kingdom would be held in the near future.

Time soon arrived at Si Shi, and the square was already full of people. Looking around, at least 5 people came to watch the trial.

Liu Xinqi sat on the city gate tower. A tall platform was built under the east side of the city gate tower.

Liu Xinqi's location is very advantageous, only ten meters away from the stage.

At two o'clock in the morning, the trial officially began.

The first one to be brought up was Wanyan Zongbi. As the person in charge of the army attacking Zhaodong, Wanyan Zongbi could be said to be the culprit of the people in Hebei and Jingdong who were in ruins (Jin Emperor was the source of evil).

A judge in the court read out Wanyan Zongbi's various crimes in public, including war crimes, organized massacres and other crimes against humanity, and then announced that Wanyan Zongbi would be sentenced to death.

Wanyan Zongbi was pushed to the front edge of the platform, then forced to kneel down by the escort, and finally an executioner came forward to execute him.

The ancient decapitation.

The executioner took a sip of wine and sprayed it on the beheading sword. After confirming the order again, he raised the sword and slashed off Wanyan Zongbi's neck.

The knife was heavy and fast, and Wanyan Zongbi's head was cut off in one blow, and he rolled nearly ten feet away, nearly rolling under the platform.

"Since you hate these Jin people so much, why did you choose to give them a good time?" Liu Lisheng, the head of the logistics department who was watching together, asked.

As an old man from Liujiapu, he experienced the massacre of Liujiapu by the Jurchens, and several of his descendants were killed by the Jurchens.

Therefore, his hatred for the Jurchens is deeper than Liu Xinqi.

"There are many types of capital punishment, including being tortured, skinned, cut in half, burned with cannons, and broken into pieces..."

Liu Xinqi interrupted him: "Because I am a human being. The difference between me and the people who were beheaded in the audience is that I have a bottom line."

Killing people can only be done with a nod, and there is no need to torture people for information, so why go through all the trouble of torturing people.

Next came Wanyan Zongjun, whose crime was basically the same as that of Wanyan Zongbi, and the result was the same. There was a headless corpse collapsed on the stage, the head that was detached from the body rolled forward, and finally fell off the stage.

Some of the onlookers came forward to snatch it, but were blocked by the guards, and were finally picked up and sent back to the trial stand.

Next came some officers of the Jin army, all of whom had their hands stained with the blood of many Han people, or who indirectly caused the death of a large number of Han people.

Ten people were tried at one time, and the execution method was different from the previous two princes. They were all shot.

The prisoner knelt in front of the executor, and the executor raised their guns to aim at the back of the head together, and then the sound of "bang" gunshots was heard continuously, and a row of executed Jin Guo military prisoners fell forward and died.
