Sanming County is one of the border counties in the Northern Montenegro Autonomous Territory, adjacent to Gaoru County on Wangcheng Road in the "Xinri Ling" of Japan.
"New Sun Territory" is what the Japanese call themselves for the Five Ways of Anshan they occupy, but it is not generally recognized by several forces in the Northern Territory.
Only the Hercynian Province recognized the existence of New Sunland and established an official diplomatic mission in New Sunland.
Sanming County is actually the original Sanming County of Songshan Road, but now the Dominion has abolished the provincial government, and the cities and counties have the same status, and are directly managed by the Dominion Cabinet.
In early January, a group of volunteers from Sanming County's militia organization "Zhongyitian" entered Gaoru County, attacked the Gaoru County government office, and killed several Japanese military policemen, causing an immediate uproar.
The Principality of Montenegro inherits the laws of the empire and recognizes the existence of militia organizations, but it is under the leadership of the local armed work department and basically belongs to the reserve force.
The "Zhongyitian" militia organization in Sanming County was transformed from the original militia group.
Songshan Road was massacred by the Ma Quanyou bandits. The population of some of the hardest-hit areas dropped sharply, and many immigrants migrated from the remaining roads.
At the same time, the underground forces who originally resisted Ma Quanyou's tribe, experienced national hatred and family feud, and were more keen to participate in militia training. Some militia organizations were very radical.
"Loyalty and Yitian" is one of them.
The conflict with the Japanese was due to the fact that Ma Quanyou's troops had withdrawn north and had settled in Gaoru County.
Wang Zimiao, the governor of Gaoru County at that time, once assisted Ma Quanyou's tribe, and is now also the county governor appointed by the Japanese.
People in Sanming County hated Wang Zimiao very much.
Something happened a year later, and Wang Zimiao took a woman as his concubine.
Sanming County and Gaoru County are adjacent, and intermarriage is very common. The woman was originally from Sanming County and married into a merchant family in Gaoru County.
The merchant also died in an incident where Ma Quanyoubu went crazy while drinking, and the woman became a widow.
Now it was occupied by Wang Zimiao again, and the news spread back to her natal family in Sanming County. The woman's brother happened to be a squadron leader of the "Zhongyitian" militia brigade. He immediately led the squadron into Gaoru County and raided the Gaoru County Yamen.
, rescued the woman, but several Japanese military policemen happened to be working at the county government office. Two of them were killed on the spot, and the remaining three were injured, and one of them died of his injuries.
Wang Zimiao was not in Houya at the time, but one of his sons was also beaten to death.
The squadron leader named Liu Dakui also distributed leaflets, saying that the Songyuan people came for revenge.
As a result, while the Japanese issued a note of strong protest, they urgently mobilized the 12th Division of the "New Sun Territory" and entered the area adjacent to the border of the principality.
The Principality's Northern Montenegro Autonomous Territory also responded quickly, and the Second Infantry Division (Northern Montenegro Infantry Division) also gathered at the border.
At the same time, various city and county police forces and militia organizations also mobilized to a certain extent.
…
The Zhazi Road to the border checkpoint in Sanming County has just been opened to traffic. At this time, a RV is driving slowly in the lane.
There was a green shed truck behind and behind him, driving at about the same speed.
Lu Ming was sitting on the sofa in the RV, looking through the letters of negotiation with Japan.
For almost a month, he was active in Heishan and Zhenjiang as his own identity, and Commissioner Zhang would only show his face occasionally.
I originally thought that I would be able to seriously handle the official affairs of Northern Montenegro at the beginning of next month, and at the same time I was planning to take a trip to Winter City, the provincial capital of Northern Xinjiang Province.
But I didn't expect that something like this would happen.
However, when I set my sights on Xinri Ling, I couldn't help but become wary.
In Xinri Territory, the Japanese people's policies are very tolerant and their military discipline is strict. It is many times more relaxed than the rule of the Anshan warlords. Moreover, they are also investing in road construction and infrastructure construction.
Moreover, probably because the principality's discovery of oil fields in Heihuo County stimulated the Japanese people, it also sent an exploration team to explore the minerals in Xinriling. However, an oil field was also discovered.
But I didn’t expect that the geology of Anshan Mountain might have quite a lot of oil fields, similar to the Middle East in previous lives?
What I thought was a desert place could turn out to be extremely rich.
Although because of the language barrier after all, the Japanese in Xinri Territory were naturally regarded as foreigners in the eyes of the Anshan people for a short period of time.
But as time goes by, I am afraid that the people of Xinri will gradually accept the rule of the Japanese. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people in Anshan today, there is not so much national sentiment. The rulers are all the same. Who can let themselves live?
Whoever is better will naturally support him.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming looked at the letter in his hand again. The Japanese made several conditions, one of which was to hand over the murderer of the thugs, and there were portraits of Liu Dakui and other key elements.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Lu Ming looked back. Han Anni came out of the inner room. She was wearing a blue and white floral dress. She was dressed like a rural girl when she went to the countryside. She was not only more delicate and beautiful, but also the same as sitting on the bench of the Supreme Court justice.
The majestic and beautiful female judge in black robe is simply not the same person anymore.
She also stopped by to take a look at Liu Dakui's case.
Liu Dakui was found guilty by the Sanming County Circuit Court of violating the Principality’s Militia Reserve Law.
The militia does not belong to the military establishment, and the principality will not recognize the case as a military operation, so it does not need to be handled by a military court.
Subsequently, the Sanming County Armed Work Department dismissed him from his post and expelled him from the militia.
There was no other punishment, so it was considered very lenient to him.
But a few days ago, Liu Dakui appealed to the High Court.
In the Northern Montenegro Autonomous Territory, most circuit courts still have a collegiate system of judges.
Only the First Circuit, the North Blacksburg Municipal Court, uses juries.
Therefore, the High Court of the Northern Montenegro Dominion is basically equivalent to the Court of Appeal.
As far as the imperial appeals process is concerned, in a case that has been tried by a jury, the appeal is not to explain how the jury's result was wrong.
An appeal can only be made if there are flaws in the legal trial process, or if new decisive evidence is discovered.
Otherwise, the jury's verdict is final and cannot be overturned.
However, in the Northern Montenegro region, the High Court has the power to change the judgment of cases heard by circuit courts.
Liu Dakui's case was assigned to Han Anni's Court of Appeal.
Also because the legal system of the Dominion has just been put in place, there must be many loopholes in many aspects.
For example, Liu Dakui did not have a very powerful appeal lawyer to collect relevant evidence and prepare appeal materials for him.
Therefore, Han Anni decided to come down in person and meet the relevant people.
Looking at Han Anni, Lu Ming was also helpless: "Our chief judge has to be both father and mother, investigating cases personally. Our temple is too shabby."
Han Anni smiled slightly: "It's just the beginning, I think you have done a good enough job!"
Lu Ming shook his head: "You still need talents. Time is a wonderful thing. Sometimes I feel that it goes too fast, and sometimes I feel that it goes too slow!"
"What about you? Are you coming down in person to start a war with the Japanese?" Han Anni then smiled: "Okay, you don't need to answer. I don't want to know military secrets."
Lu Ming smiled: "You said that there is such a possibility. I came here to conduct the demonstration myself. Every step now may involve the life and death of the newly established principality. I want to see these key steps for myself.
Understand, you can't just listen to what the people below say. Especially if you really want to use force to drive the Japanese out of Anshan, this is a big and dangerous move. You can't turn back time and you can't come back and make a new choice. So, I need to think about it carefully.
