Park Deok-hwan just disappeared from the stage of history, disappearing like a meteor across the sky in the vigorous era of entrepreneurship. He was not deliberately erased. Later generations of historians, even without special permission from the "Ministry of Truth",

His final result can also be found in the public files of the Cheka and the Arbitration Tribunal: he was sentenced to life-long hard labor for corruption and a relatively large amount. The records in the file only end there. If he is interested, he can continue to search for this person's information.

If he wanted to know his whereabouts, he would have to apply for a medium-level file search permit from the Ministry of Truth. Then he could check from the vast files that in the fourth year after Park Dehuan became a long series of numbers, he had to apply for a certificate issued by the Special Labor Department of Hongji Coal Mine in the fourth year after Park Dehuan became a long series of numbers.

Death certificate, cause of death: "Accident."

However, at that time, Park Deok-hwan's arrest and trial caused a great sensation in Jeju. This popular former official slave, the "bow and arrow official" of the Australians, was exposed to have collected a large amount of bribes.

There have been serious acts of corruption.

Taking this as an opportunity, a group of public servants and local businessmen related to Park Dehuan were successively arrested, and a vigorous anti-corruption campaign was launched.

Since there are no formal courts here on Jeju Island, there are only military courts. This kind of military court is not composed of military personnel. It is an arbitral tribunal. In order to cope with the expansion stage, local institutions are incomplete, and the management model is mostly military control. There are few naturalized civilian cadres with legal training.

And many times it is an eclectic model made under the ever-changing environment of local forms.

When it comes to the law to be cited, it generally refers to the rule-based judgments of the arbitral tribunal that have written laws or precedents. If not, the elders who act as judges can follow the authority, and it is up to them to decide which law to use.

From the perspective of "ruling the country according to law", such a legal system is extremely crude. Therefore, the arbitral tribunal has issued a notice: They are organizing two groups to conduct research on Jeju Island and Taiwan Island and start formulating the "Basic Law" of the two places.

.

Nangong Wudi temporarily acted as the president of the court and signed judgments in batches. According to the relevant recommendations of the arbitral tribunal, there are only two types of judgments related to corruption cases: several years of hard labor and confiscation of all property. Except for Park Dehuan, most of the people involved in the case were sentenced

Hard labor ranging from three years to more than three years. Those sentenced to hard labor, regardless of the year, are all sent to Taiwan, Hainan or even Vietnam to serve. Those whose crimes are very minor will have their property confiscated, and then stay in the local area and form a "punishment team" to serve indefinitely.

.

In order to reveal the significance of this movement, "Jeju News" not only launched a special report on the case, but also held an exhibition of anti-corruption achievements in the academy. The floor of Daeseong Hall in the academy was filled with various confiscated property.

Feng Zongze felt that these "stolen items" were really shabby. The total amount of silver and copper coins found in Pu Dehuan's mansion was less than fifty taels, and more than a dozen pieces of silk and satin. Other cotton cloth, furniture, rice, salt... Most of them were daily necessities, including

There is miso.

"Is this considered stolen goods?" Feng Zongze couldn't help but comment after looking around. "That's it? At least Zhang Chengxue should be tied up and put here. I think she is worth some money."

"When a group of people are about to starve to death, those who have enough to eat are the rich and powerful. Whether there is corruption or not depends on the overall material level." Nangong Wudi said, "Don't talk about Jeju Island, a border county of the Li Dynasty.

How much wealth could the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty have? Have you not been to South Korea and visited that royal palace? That house in the Ming Dynasty was only at the level of a middle-class landlord's compound in an underdeveloped area. You can't say that people are not worthy to live in it.

Called the King of Korea."

"That's true, I just feel so cold." Feng Zongze said.

"We feel chilly, but the people of the Li Dynasty still feel rich." Nangong Wudi looked at his watch and asked in a low voice, "Is the operation going to start soon?"

"Start on time." Feng Zongze also replied quietly. "Xue Weini said that he has made all preparations."

Nangong Wudi said nothing, and the two returned to the prison camp. A new command post has been set up here - the first order of the Jeju Island Security Strengthening Movement will be issued from here.

The Jeju security strengthening campaign was personally formulated by Seol Ja-liang, and all the resources of the Senate in Jeju, whether it was the army, navy or civil affairs system, were all deployed and used uniformly by him.

However, Xue Ziliang knew very well the "hobby" of the Senate - they would not appreciate it without vigorous mass movements. So he handed over this task to Feng Zongze.

Feng Zongze and Nangong Wudi went deep into each department separately and conveyed the order to carry out the security strengthening campaign to the farming squadrons, Shandong Xiangyong, Japanese security forces, White Horse Brigade and the Korean Army Corps. The campaign soon spread throughout Jeju City.

The beginning of the movement was a massive "public trial". A high platform was set up in front of the prison camp. The White Horse team members held sticks to maintain order, and the Japanese security forces unsheathed their swords one by one. The people in the city, regardless of men, women, old and young, as long as they could

Everyone who can walk must participate. In addition to local people, some immigrants from Shandong and members of the agricultural reclamation team also came to participate. The entire square and streets were packed.

Feng Zongze was determined to "make it bigger" and did not hesitate to use loudspeakers and specially equipped translators for simultaneous interpretation: Although the audience of the public trial was mainly local people, he also wanted to give a warning to Shandong immigrants.

Amid roars like mountains and tsunamis, a group of "rebellious elements" headed by Zhao Minggui and Zhang Chengxue were led out for a public trial. Their crimes were read out in advance and the evidence was released, focusing on the fact that these saboteurs organized arson

, poisoning and other sabotage activities - this is different from ordinary sabotage. It is an indiscriminate and indiscriminate attack. It is a typical "terrorist activity" and can easily arouse the fear and hatred of ordinary people.

Nangong Wudi continued to point the finger at Mr. Jin and the Li Dynasty. "Fear" - "hatred", the Li Dynasty, which was originally "the orthodoxy of the imperial court", became an "enemy", and the people turned their fear of being harmed into endless hatred -

―Not to mention that the Korean people on the island have no favorable impression of the Li Dynasty at all. Many of them are still exiled prisoners and official slaves. In Nangong Wudi’s fierce and constant shouts and questions, and the shouts of the naturalized propaganda personnel hiding among the masses.

In response, the aroused hatred burst out, and slogans arose one after another.

Zhao Minggui's face turned pale - he was speechless. Even when he faced the "Eagle-Still" interrogation by the Political Security Bureau and almost collapsed physically and mentally, he did not have such fear: everyone in the audience gnashed their teeth, seemingly

They wanted to tear him alive. Although the officials of the "Great Song Dynasty" did not ask him to kneel down, his legs weakened and he was as limp as mud. He could only be supported by two members of the White Horse Team to keep him from falling.

In contrast, Zhang Chengxue was much calmer. Her face turned pale, and she tried to struggle and shout several times, but every time she opened her mouth, she was drowned out by the roar organized by the naturalized citizen propaganda staff. Several times in succession, she

I finally realized that my final counterattack was in vain.

The other prisoners knew that a disaster was coming, and they collapsed on the ground one by one, unable to speak, and some even excreted and urinated. Just when Nangong Wudi was about to announce the verdict, Zhang Chengxue suddenly took advantage of the female White Horse team member who grabbed her arm.

Be prepared and bite the opponent hard.

This time, there was no need for propaganda personnel to instigate the crowd. The already red-eyed common people roared together: "Kill her!" The crowd even began to surge towards the stage. The white horse team and the Japanese security forces quickly suppressed the crowd to prevent the crowd from rushing up.

Zhang Chengxue struggled like crazy on the stage. The two female team members couldn't suppress her at all. Two male team members quickly came up and held her down. A ball of sesame was stuffed into her mouth.

Nangong Wudi admired Zhang Chengxue's reaction - this was really the best embodiment of "dying struggle". Then he stood up and began to pronounce the sentence.

"In the name of the Senate and the people, the verdict of Jeju's March 15 and March 20 rebellion cases is as follows -"

The military drum beat suddenly, and the square suddenly fell silent.

Nangong Wudi paused deliberately to make his judgment impressive.

"...Zhao Minggui, death penalty!"

"...Zhang Chengxue, death penalty!"



He read out the sentences one by one. Thirteen people including Zhao Minggui were sentenced to death for organizing, supporting, harboring and contacting "rebels" in the city; another fifteen "rebels" who sneaked into the city and planned to set fire to poison were also sentenced to death.

Sentenced to death.

The remaining persons involved were sentenced to different types of hard labor. All the properties of the persons involved were confiscated. As a result, except for a few small and micro businesses, large-scale private handicrafts and commercial activities in Jeju City no longer exist.

The "masterminds" revealed during the trial: Jin Wanyi, Huang Yunyu and several local herdsmen and landowners were sentenced to death in absentia and had all their property confiscated.

Prisoners sentenced to death were hanged on gallows erected outside the four gates of Jeju and allowed to dry.

After the verdict, a "preaching oath meeting" was held. At the meeting, the two Jin siblings were first announced for their deeds, and then the "crusade" against "hostile elements" on the island was announced. Finally, Nangong Wudi and Feng Zongze reviewed the

The crusade army. The National Army, including the Fubo Army, the Japanese Security Army, the White Horse Team and the Shandong Xiangyong, accepted the review.

The sound of military drums and the roar of cannons. When the city of Jeju was in a commotion, one by one the expedition teams were quietly dispatched, shooting like sharp arrows at the targets that had been set. The campaign to strengthen public security in Jeju Island has officially begun.

prelude.

Feng Zongze was so excited and exhausted that he even returned to his office in the prison camp. He looked at his watch: According to the schedule, the first batch of news about breaking out of the camp would come in half an hour. At this time, the guard came to report: "The translator is working

Official Pu Demeng requested the chief to meet him."

"Invite him in." Feng Zongze said.
