The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 202 Settle accounts, Ling Chi

Chapter 200

Lu Changle helped Zu Dashou up, and said with some guilt: "It's because I'm a bit ideal, of course, I ignore the old general's feelings."

"Respect the meaning of the old general, and never mention this matter again."

"Thank you, Governor, for your sympathy." Zu Dashou felt relieved, and his whole body felt relieved.

Fortunately, I saved the last trace of dignity.

Lu Changle looked at Zu Zerun, Zu Zehong and others standing aside,

He opened his mouth and asked: "Old General, the roots of the Zu family are in Kyushu, and they should be united in the same spirit. Now that the Jiankui have been defeated and surrendered, I want to recruit a few tigers from your family. I don't know what the old general wants?"

Zu Dashou is old and wants to save the last bit of face,
He doesn't go out of the mountain, but his son and adopted son are rare generals,
There is also a nephew Wu Sangui who holds a heavy soldier,
Recruiting them can save a lot of trouble.

Zu Dashou just hesitated, and quickly said: "If they want to, I will not object."

Rejected once before,
If he refuses again, he is afraid of offending Lu Changle,

Zu Dashou is just old and his mind is still not confused.
This is also very skillful.
The son intends, but he does not object,

Observe Lu Changle's reaction, if Lu Changle is unhappy,

I can also use the name of the elders to order my son and adopted son to obey,

It is left behind.

The ancestor's family is a general, and it is not ashamed to be a soldier.

Lu Changle turned his head and asked Zu Zerun, Zu Zehong and others: "What do you think, disarm and return to the fields, or work for me?"

Zu Zerun and the others glanced at each other,
Qiqi knelt down on one knee: "I am willing to serve the governor."

The Zu family is a prominent family in Liaodong. With the surrender of Jianlu,

The house and the land are gone.

If he doesn't obey, Lu Changle will definitely not let himself have subordinates and private soldiers again,

I have lived in the army since I was a child, and I only know how to fight on horseback.
I really want to put down my weapons and go home to farm,

It would be better than dying on the battlefield.

Besides, Lu Changle is from Daming, both of Han nationality,

It is much better to work for him than to work for Jianlu.

Besides, Lu Changle respects his old father so much, so he probably won't embarrass himself.

"Okay, very good, let's all stand up." Lu Changle was in a good mood, and smiled and asked several people to stand up.

Dorgon, Azig and Daishan, who can control Jianlu and Mongolia,
Many of the flag soldiers of the Han Eight Banners came from the Liaodong area,
Many soldiers came from Zu Dashou's sect,
The sons of Zu Zerun and Zu Zehong, the generals, went to lead them,
The most suitable.

"Thank you, Governor General." After Zu Zerun, Zu Zehong, Zu Kefa and others thanked them,
When I stood up, there was a sense of relief on my face.

Along the way, I saw many familiar faces who had taken refuge in Jianlu were being arrested.

They are also afraid that their ancestors will all go to the guillotine.

Lu Changle said with a serious face: "You don't have to thank me first, you have acted out of integrity, this matter can't just be left alone, and you will have to atone for your sins in the future."

Zu Zerun knelt down again, and said with a serious face: "Your Excellency has orders, and I will wait for them."

Zu Zerun was not surprised but happy when his harsh words were put aside.
I'm afraid that the people above are full of honey and swords, full of rhetoric without a single real sentence,
Speak clearly, but feel at ease.

When I was lost, I also did the thing of being a slave to Jianlu,
Atonement means,

As long as the sin is redeemed, there is still a chance to make a comeback.

Zu Dashou took a chance,
Made a request to Lu Changle,
I am not used to living in Jianjian, Wu Yeyan will go back to my hometown again,

Hope to live in Fujian,
Lu Changle knew that he wanted to make himself feel at ease, so he took the initiative as a hostage,
I readily agreed.

When Zu Dashou invited Lu Changle in for tea,
Lu Changle declined,

Once the father and son of the grandparents meet again, it is not easy to disturb at this time,
Second, I still have a lot of things to do.

Hunt down the fish that slipped through the net, liquidate the Han women who are running dogs, and punish the sinners,
There is another thing I like most, confiscating property,
many things
The first thing to do is to liquidate those Han women and traitors.

Shenyang Outer City, Bell and Drum Tower,

This is the center of Shenyang City, and it is also the place where Jianlu held large-scale activities.
Next to the racecourse, the former Jianlu nobles liked to raise horses for horse races here.
Now it has become a large-scale execution scene.

Those men and women who are running dogs will be tied to the pre-prepared wooden stakes after they are verified to be upright:

"Sinner Fan Wencheng, verify his integrity and tie No. [-] pile"

"It's gratifying to be a sinner, verify your integrity, and tie the No. [-] stake"

"The criminal, Geng Zhongming, has been verified and tied to the No. [-] stake."

"The sinner, Hong Chengchou, was identified and tied to the No. [-] stake."

"The sinner, Shen Zhixiang, has been verified and tied to the No. [-] stake."

"The sinner, Kong Youde, was verified and tied to the sixth stake"

The expeditionary force cooperated with Erbaiqi to tie the people to wooden stakes one by one according to the list.
those who were bound,

Someone cried out for forgiveness,

Some people wept bitterly,

Someone struggling like crazy,
Some people turned pale with fright and became incontinent,

There are more timid ones, who passed out like a puddle of mud.

At this time, the military control in Shenyang city was relaxed,

The bannermen, Mongols and Han people who lived there all gathered around to watch,
The Han women in the arena cried and begged for mercy, screaming miserably,
The expeditionary army that maintained order hated these traitors very much,
The two white flag soldiers who assisted also looked down on this group of slaves,

None of the onlookers showed sympathy for them,
Once I can't protect myself,
Second, people who betray the country and the nation are looked down upon everywhere.

After all the three hundred stakes on the field were tied,

Lu Changle, accompanied by Gan Hui, Lu Jinyuan, Dorgon, Azig and others,
Sitting on the supervisory platform with a serious face.

As soon as he sat down, Lu Changwei trotted forward, presented a list, and reported loudly: "Report to the governor, the first batch of [-] dead criminals have all been identified, please give instructions from the governor."

Lu Changle opened the roster, and soon saw familiar and jaw-dropping names,
He opened his mouth and said, "Bring up Fan Wencheng and Kong Youde."

Of all people, Lu Changle hates these two people the most.

Needless to say, Fan Wencheng is a hardcore man and woman,

It was he who continued to advise Nurhachi and Huang Taiji,

Make Jianlu's strength continue to grow,

He also set up an intelligence network against Daming,

Constantly buying and corrupting the will of Ming officials and generals,

It can be said that she is the number one female cadre in Ming Dynasty.

Sun Youde's damage to Daming is second only to Fan Wencheng,
After launching the Wuqiao mutiny in the fourth year of Chongzhen, he surrendered to Jianlu,

When surrendering, bring a large number of craftsmen, including skilled firearms craftsmen,

Jianlu was able to forge his own firearm, and Sun Youde took the lead.

Soon, Fan Wencheng and Kong Youde were dragged to the execution stand,
Sun Youde just knelt a little slower, and was immediately kicked on the back of the knee joint,

With a muffled grunt, he fell to his knees on the ground.

"Fan Wencheng, a grassroots man, pay my respects to the governor." Fan Wencheng shouted flatteringly.

"I'm Kong Youde."

Compared with Fan Wencheng, Kong Youde is much tougher.

Lu Changle said jokingly: "Fan Wencheng, Kong Youde, the crimes you have committed are not too many to die a hundred times. Tell me, what is the use of you?"

"Your Excellency, the Caomin don't care about the Qing Dynasty, they know all the Jianlu people like the back of their hands, and there is also news about many generals of the Ming Dynasty, leaving behind the life of the Caomin, the Caomin is willing to help the Lord achieve a career."

"The sinner, Sun Youde, is still able to draw a bow and mount a horse. If the governor does not dislike him, he is willing to go to the soup and fire." Kong Youde said, kowtowing non-stop.

They know this is the last chance.

Lu Changle, governor of Fujian Province, every time he defeated an enemy or captured a place,
They will kill and stand up,
More than 3000 people were beheaded at one time,
Killed so that the corpses are scattered all over the field, the heads are rolling,
Many people call him "Pretty Face Yan Jun" behind his back.

Lu Changle said with a sneer: "Many people are willing to work hard for the governor. Keeping you two female cadres will not tarnish the prestige of the governor."

"Caomin knows that the crime is serious, and it is all the fault of Caomin alone. The disaster is not as good as his family. I beg the governor to forgive me."

"It's all the fault of the sinner alone. The family members are not as bad as the disaster. Please forgive me, my lord governor." Kong Youde also begged for mercy loudly.

I really want to be tough,
But the family members were all arrested, so I had to let go of my self-esteem.
It seems that the self-proclaimed slave every day has no self-esteem.

Gan Hui said angrily: "It's a joke. Over the years, we have been aggressively disturbing the border and entering the customs. How many souls have fallen under the iron heel, and how many people's families have been destroyed and their wives and children separated. At that time, why didn't you say that the disaster is not as good as your family?"

"You people, let alone die a hundred times, even if you die ten thousand times, it's not a pity to die." Lu Jinyuan couldn't help but curse.

After the two men surrendered, they were reused by Jianlu.
Daily fine clothes and fine food, luxurious carriages and horses for travel,

These are all obtained by harming compatriots.

There is still the face to say that the family members are not as good as the disaster, it is shameless to the extreme.

Fan Wencheng looked up and saw Dorgon standing on the execution stage,
As if seeing a savior, he hurriedly said: "Prince Rui, for the sake of our past friendship, please, please say something nice to the governor, I will be grateful."

Fan Wencheng served Nurhachi and Huang Taiji,

He is highly valued, and those princes, Baylor, and Beizi all intend to establish a good relationship with him,

When conflicts broke out between Huang Taiji and the Dorgon brothers,

Fan Wencheng also played the role of peacemaker many times,

The relationship with Dorgon is not bad.

Dorgon was the first to seek refuge with Lu Changle, and was also reused.

Talking has a certain weight.

Dorgon said without changing his face: "Fan Wencheng, you are just a dog, where is the love, and don't call yourself a prince, Dorgon works under the command of Governor Lu, now there are only Eight Banners, Qing Dynasty, it's over. "

It's hard to protect myself, so I can't take care of him.

Deep down in Dorgon's heart, he also looked down on Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng felt sad,
Yes, Huang Taiji is dead, the surrender of the Eight Banners, the surrender of surrender,

After the Qing Dynasty was over, there was no Prince Rui left.

Lu Changle said surprisingly: "I'm the most soft-hearted person, and I don't want to listen to others begging for mercy, especially those of a young age. Fan Wencheng and Kong Youde, I will give you a chance to protect your family."

"Thank you, Governor, thank you, Governor."

Fan Wencheng and Kong Youde are like drowning people seeing a life-saving straw,

With hope in my eyes,

Fearing that Lu Changle would go back on his word, he repeatedly kowtowed to thank him.

Just as Lu Jinyuan was about to say something, Lu Changle stopped him with his gaze.

Lu Changle said unhurriedly: "You don't need to thank me in advance. If you have conditions, you have to endure the torture and you can't call it out. Your crimes don't deserve to be called out."

"I'll release your whole family when I finish my sentence."

"On the contrary, call out and execute one."

"Mu Sheng, it's up to you."

Mu Sheng stood up and looked at the two of them as if sizing up prey.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Of order."

What I like most is using torture on criminals.

Showing off in front of so many people is very rewarding.

Mu Sheng glanced at Fan Wencheng and Sun Youde, for some reason,
There is a chilling feeling in my heart.

Soon, the two were tied to a "big"-shaped wooden frame,
The clothes on his body were stripped off, leaving only a pair of obscene trousers to hide his ugliness.

When the two were tied tightly by a fishing net,

Turned pale and trembling,
You can guess what will happen next.

Cut to pieces by a thousand knives, also known as Ling Chi.

Cut off the flesh of the body with a knife,

The process is extremely cruel,

It is said that a top torturer can cut [-] knives,

The meat cut by each knife is equal in size and weight,

Avoid vital locations and blood vessels, one cut is not too much, one cut is not less,

Until the last knife before dying.

In ancient times, there were many people who were sentenced to death.

People in the Ming Dynasty were no strangers to this punishment.

The great Confucian Fang Xiaoru, the eunuch Liu Jin, and the supervisor Yuan Chonghuan were all executed by Ling Chi.
Fan Wencheng and Kong Youde are no strangers to this punishment,
I also saw the execution with my own eyes.
Nurhachi's daughter Mang Guji,
Suo Nuomu Du Leng informed Huang Taiji of his plan to seek power and usurp the throne,

After Huang Taiji found out,

Directly send people to capture all the family and followers of Mangurtai,

In order to make an example to others, he ordered his sister Mang Guji to be executed Lingchi,
He also ordered the generals and nobles to observe the sentence,
Mang Guji was also stubborn and endured more than 300 knives before dying.

Sun Youde and Fan Wencheng knew they were doomed,
He wanted to scold Lu Changle to vent his anger,

When the two saw the family members who were tied up and kneeling on the ground one by one,
Swallowed back abruptly,

Old and young, male and female,

Kong Youde's family of eight, Fan Wencheng's family of 27,
A Buluo was caught here,

Behind him stood a row of soldiers with swords,
The two are now praying that they will die quickly,
To endure excruciating pain and die without saying a word.

Mu Sheng took out a hook knife as thin as paper, and drew a knife in front of the two of them.
He said with a smile on his face: "You two, I will work harder and serve you all by myself, bear with me."

More than [-] people watched the execution at the scene, but the whole process was eerily quiet.
Mu Sheng was the first to go to Fan Wencheng, and checked the tightly tied fishing nets.

Without changing his face, he cut off a two-inch piece of flesh the size of a fingernail from his right arm,

After cutting, put it in the sun and look at it, it is as thin as a cicada's wing,

Nodding with satisfaction, he put it on the porcelain plate beside him.

Fan Wencheng kept biting his lips tightly, his whole body tensed,

Hard to hold back the screams,
He knew that as long as he called out,
Immediately someone's head will fall.

Mu Sheng licked his tongue, walked up to Sun Youde,
I pressed the protruding muscles on the fish mesh with my hands,

He said to himself: "This is Lianjiazi, the meat is strong, you need to use the No. [-] knife."

Under Sun Youde's horrified gaze, Mu Sheng came out of the densely packed knife holders,

Take off a machete that seems to be slightly narrow and long,

Naturally, he cut off another piece of meat of the same size from Kong Youde's right hand,
Sun Youde, who has been pampered and pampered all these years, is so painful that his face is distorted,
trembling uncontrollably,
In the face of the death of his family, he forcibly endured it.

Mu Sheng is like a tool man without emotion,
It's not too much trouble,
A knife on the left, a knife on the right,

As if handling a work of art, every knife is carefully,
Every piece of cut meat is neatly placed on the porcelain plate next to it.
When the No.11 knife hit, Fan Wencheng, who was in extreme pain,

Finally couldn't bear the pain,
Let out a scream of "ah".
