In the military camp of Jinling Wengcheng, Bai Tu was sitting on the commander's seat in the martial arts field. In the middle of the audience was Pan Zhang, who was prostrated, surrounded by hundreds of officers of all levels.
The Privy Council will be responsible for the trial of "military discipline" cases in the future. Unlike civilian criminal cases, only military law will be applied, and there are only two penalties - death penalty, and "overdraft withdrawal will never be used".
After the former was sentenced to death, it was settled once and for all, while the latter... was sent back to the Ministry of Punishments and continued to be tried in accordance with normal laws.
Now that the Privy Council's airs have not yet been set up, Bai Tu comes to the trial in person!
If these officers had seen this scene when they first came to Jinling, even if they knew what Pan Zhang had done, they would inevitably feel a little sad - not necessarily because of any bad intentions, but out of a common sense of camp.
But now...
As soon as they arrived at Jinling, they were dragged away, and they were blown away by rainbow farts. They thought about the stone tablet of the Humin Temple, the children who looked at them in admiration, and then thought about... the military salary and welfare promised by the lord.
A sense of honor has sprouted in their hearts, which alienated them from Pan Zhang who "violated discipline and harmed the people" in terms of camp feeling.
At the same time, the "benefits" promised by their lord also made them worried - if they surrendered under the orders of the superior officer, they would not necessarily have their resettlement fees confiscated, but if they robbed the people, they would definitely have their resettlement fees taken back and all honors deprived of them.
Moreover, Bai Tu also invited representatives of the victims, especially representatives of the village where the death occurred, to come forward to explain Pan Zhang's crimes.
Regarding the matter of defiling a common girl, Bai Tu did not invite anyone, nor did he announce which village the incident occurred. Bai Tu personally testified...
Afterwards, Bai Tu also announced the punishments for the three uncles and six Shi Chang who were involved in this matter.
Among them, one Dub and three chiefs were sentenced to death for their direct participation in robberies in which civilians died.
There was another uncle and two ministers, because the circumstances were minor... When Pan Zhang did something too extreme, he did not dare to bring these non-direct confidants with him, so he was only sentenced to maximum manpower extraction and was later thrown into the Ministry of Punishment.
Just like what Yuan Shu did to some of Sun's generals, their physical strength will be far less than that of normal people from now on, and this is only based on their status as officers. Bai Tu made a ruling on behalf of the Privy Council. What they did after that
, there will be further trials by the Ministry of Punishment.
What is inconsistent with the previous rumors is that another Dub and a chief were actually exempted from punishment - the reason was that many victims of the people testified that they would warn the village in advance, and when they plundered with Pan Zhang,
He only obeyed on the surface and secretly protected many people.
Although the illiteracy rate of ordinary farmers during the Eastern Han Dynasty was close to 100%, their eyes were still sharp. They could distinguish who was really complicit with the thieves and who was forced to be with the thieves and secretly protect themselves!
With these testimonies, the two men were pardoned by Baitu, but both were transferred out of the original army.
In addition, there was another Du Bo who was dismissed by Pan Zhang and was specially invited back from Yangxian by Bai Tu.
This is what really needs to be publicized. A model who does not collude with Shangguan and is a clean person will not only be rewarded with fields and property, but also be appointed as a new Sima of another department, responsible for the Yangxian garrison!
In some previous "rumors", Baitu wanted to kill everyone, and even those who knew and failed to report were also guilty!
If Bai Tu's popularity hadn't been high enough, and Lu Bu himself was in charge of the Jinling garrison, it might have really led to chaos.
However, now it seems that everyone understands that the previous rumors are simply fanning the flames - as long as you keep yourself clean, the lord will not treat you harshly. Even if it is difficult to disobey your orders, at least... you must do it "in both positive and negative ways"!
This is only a shock to the officers above the rank of colonel.
It is impossible for Bai Tu to encourage the army to report each other now, otherwise the chaos will not be a matter of cutting off an arm, but a matter of swinging a sword...
However, now that Bai Tu has set a correct example, there is no need for the junior officers below to be in a dilemma, and to avoid the absolute obedience of superiors and subordinates in the army when there is a "Pan Zhang second" or even a general-level "Pan Zhang"
principle, and there is a downward collapse of corruption.
As for the main culprit Pan Zhang himself...
"In addition to these, I also have several other books about Pan Zhang here, which are to express his merits and praise his military capabilities... Zhang Xing, come and read them for everyone." Bai Tu said suddenly.
Not to mention the officers below, even Lu Su and others did not expect that Bai Tu had prepared this.
Ordinarily, at this time, it is too late to cover up his achievements, and judging from Bai Tu's current intention, he does not intend to falsify these achievements, and it does not seem to mean "the merits offset the faults."
Zhang Xing is a commander of the Chaisang garrison who won the award before. He looks very young. It is relatively rare for officers to come from farmers. The vast majority of officers are at least from wealthy families. After all, grassroots soldiers are recruited from manpower.
, and ordinary farmers have had more manpower extracted, which will also have an impact on future physical growth.
However, after Zhang Xing joined the army, he not only trained seriously, but was also diligent and eager to learn, and he already knew all the commonly used words.
At this time, the naive child began to read aloud Pan Zhang's achievements...
"Perhaps someone wants to ask me, Pan Zhang also fought for Jiangdong. Is what he did really unforgivable? I suggest you ask the family members of the victims present about this question, and... you can just imagine it.
, if your parents, wife and children were killed by a 'hero' because of personal greed, would you still be able to accept that he, as your comrade, would fight alongside you?
Zhang Xing, Song En, Bu Hu, Xu Zhu... please answer everyone, can you forgive this behavior?"
Bai Tu named a few officers whose relatives were killed by the rebels. Bai Tu would definitely kill Pan Zhang, but he had to do it with justification and to convince others!
Even if someone is unhappy, it must be because Bai Tu's majestic image shines through, and they cannot have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"Can't!" "Can't!"... "Unforgivable!"
Not only the few people who were called out, but also many ordinary grassroots officers were infected by this atmosphere.
There were actually a few captains who hesitated to plead for mercy, and there were even a small number of officers who came from right-wing families who were dissatisfied with Bai Tu and wanted to use this to incite...
However, seeing that this was already agitating the crowd, they decided to put their minds aside - otherwise, not to mention Baitu, their corps commander, or even their commander, would turn against them first.
"My lord, I agree with what you said... But after all, Pan Sima is loyal to you. Even if he is guilty, he won't have no chance, right? The general is willing to hand over the 'redemption' on Pan Sima's behalf, and let him be at the end of the war from now on."
Is this good for you to keep your subordinates under strict control?" At this moment, a strong voice suddenly came out.
"Are you Xu You, the Cavalry Commander of Fuchun County?" Bai Tu recognized the man.
This was one of the people Bai Tu focused on after the list of officers who came to Jinling came out - Fuchun is a county under Wu County, the hometown of the Xu family, and Captain Xu's origin was unknown to him.
In several important armies, such people will not be allowed to exist. However, among the garrison forces such as the Fuchun garrison, there are many generals from aristocratic families. This is a problem left over from history. There is no good reason, and Bai Tu also
The bad ones were all thrown away for no reason.
Moreover, they are only garrison troops. It would not be harmful if they really turned into elbows and armpits. The Lu family and the Yu family also have people of this race. Even the garrison troops in many small towns are "sponsored" by aristocratic families, which can be regarded as powerful and powerful.
Partly, this is also part of Bai Tu's plan to gradually rectify the situation in the future.
Xu You originally came to Jinling with the intention of causing a big event, but now it seems...he can only feel disgusted and disgusted!
