Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 677 Fair Trial

After all, he was an official in the Ming Dynasty. Fang Kezhuang lived up to his "clear name" and was well versed in the internal struggles of those second-rate civil servants in the Ming Dynasty.

After being captured, he still wanted to learn from Liu Chan. The Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong, who was eating and drinking in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was unlucky.Zhu Yousong has been content with pleasure all his life. He has been in power for more than a year, and Jiangnan is poor. I don’t know how many young girls from many families have been imprisoned in the deep palace. They finally fought against Song Qingshu who supported his house. On the body, a subjugated and captured person fell, and he still wanted to be happy and happy, but he never thought of that old saying.

There are eggs under the overturned nest!

However, Zhu Yousong did not leave alone. One year earlier in history, Jiannu used the excuse of colluding with the Southern Bandits to surrender Lu Wang Zhu Changhao, Qin Wang Zhu Cunji, Jin Wang Zhu Shenheng, Jing Wang Zhu Ciyu, De Wang Zhu Youle, and Heng. Nearly 300 people, including Wang Zhu Youfen and other county kings, generals of Zhenguo and generals of Fuguo, were beheaded at Caishikou.

For the sake of his children and grandchildren, Mr. Zhu divided up the vassal kings from all over the country, and used the power of the world to support his family and surname. In the Youming area, these vassal kings' families did live in luxury and luxury. However, in the end, Jiannu was slaughtered like pigs and sheep. It can be considered that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the way of heaven is permanent.

The person who carried out this order was Azig, Prince of England. The blood of the clan of the Ming Dynasty eased the conflict between the brothers of the banner owner a little bit.

Contrary to the idea of ​​making peace before, Dorgon appeared aggressive instead, declaring with great fanfare that Song Qingshu was a traitor, an ambitious power minister, crowned as treason, collaborator, rebellious, immoral, disrespectful, unfilial and unjust Civil strife, in short, almost Song Qingshu took over all of the heinous crimes, and called on the world to crusade against Song Qingshu.

But when Song Qingshu was yelling murderously, the Qing court publicly declared that it was willing to make Lu Wang Zhu Yihai the lord of the Ming Dynasty, with Hangzhou and Dongting Lake as the rulers. As long as Zhu Yihai was willing to recognize the Qing Dynasty as the sovereign state, the Ming clan Inherit Guozuo here and never conquer.

Fang Kezhuang's move was quite poisonous. A series of political actions, first of all, the death of Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong completely denied Song Qingshu's orthodox status in supporting Hongguang Emperor, and also made him lose his pretensions to welcome Hongguang Emperor back and call The slogan of fighting for the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and the canonization of Zhu Yihai is to take advantage of the comfort of the Ming clan and those local bureaucrats. Moreover, since Zhu Yihai has become the lord of the Ming Dynasty, he is destined not to allow Song Qingshu to occupy Yingtian and give orders.

As for never conquering?The Southern Tang Dynasty was so respectful to the Great Song Dynasty. Song Taizu said that he would not allow others to snore. It was not enough to provoke a civil war between Nanzhili and Zhejiang and Jiangxi. You can also catch crabs and shells in one net, and the fisherman benefits from the competition between snipe and clam.

Not to mention, Fang Kezhuang's trick is not without basis. Historically, King Lu Jianguo fought fiercely with the Longwu regime supported by Zheng Zhilong in Fuzhou, and was finally defeated by Jiannu with double double strikes.

After doing this, the army of building slaves began to thunder and rain. The 45 troops that were originally in Lianghuai hurriedly returned to the north and stopped in the area of ​​Tancheng, Shandong. On the one hand, they suppressed the people of Qingzhou. Change, on the other hand, is to slow down the military pressure in the south of the Yangtze River, let your two Han people kill each other to your heart's content!

With a series of political developments, the huge China began to surge undercurrents again.

However, Nanzhili, the center of the eye of the storm, is not as turbulent as Fang Kezhuang and Dorgon imagined.

The reason is simple. Those big landlords and big families either took refuge in Jiannu, became officials in the court, and were overthrown, or their land was encircled, their population was driven out, or even occupied by the Eight Banners. Waiting class, even if the war is over, the mighty movement to investigate and punish the crime of treason has not stopped, and there are still some remnants who have no time to hide at this time, who dares to take the lead to offend Marshal Song!

Yingtian City, on December 27th, it seems that the Spring Festival started here three days earlier. Hundreds of thousands of Yingtian people put up lanterns and festoons, and went out for dozens of miles in person to meet their own soldiers who returned in triumph. The roads were almost all colored The fake flower petals were spread all over, what is called a welcome, if the enthusiastic people on both sides hadn't been maintained by the avant-garde troops, they would have crushed the general formation.

The joys and sorrows are vividly displayed here. The husband who came back from the expedition hugged his wife and children violently. The son knelt down heavily for his parents and kowtowed a few times. Then the elderly father held his thumb with tears in his eyes. , Follow the commander to kill the Tartars!However, there is also the long-awaited white-haired old man, who leads the children to jump around and look at the man in the girl's dream, but what is waiting is the blood-cold military badge.

The joys and sorrows of the world, the bitterness, hotness, sourness and sweetness are vividly displayed in this Yingtian City for a while.

The most intense of these was still a prisoner-of-war camp. 30 people started from Jiangyin to the Yixing War. More than 11 people died in the battle, and the remaining 19 were all captured. Li Yanling's troops, the murderer of the Massacre of Yangzhou, and the main war criminals of a series of inhumane massacres such as Yangzhou Ten Days and Changshu Massacre, with more than 3 men and soldiers, were all escorted to Yingtian City. They were tied into long strings like pigs, and dragged into the city.

Along the way, the Jiangnan people who were gnashing their teeth with hatred threw stones, rotten eggs, rotten vegetables and leaves over the sky. These people were beaten to death. If the people from the Public Security Committee did not come forward to mediate continuously, they would not be escorted to the big square in front of the Forbidden Palace. It is estimated that half of them will be killed.

It has been spread since ancient times that the killing of prisoners is ominous, but it does not mean that the atrocities in the war have been exposed in this way. In Suzaku Square, the temporary committee has already organized a new court, and a military court with hundreds of thousands of people to try together, for these executioners Give us a fair trial.

Following the welcoming team, I heard that Marshal Song was going to hold a public trial again. Many Jiangnan citizens who were full of blood and tears even ignored the chicken and sheep stewed on the fire at home for the returning soldiers. They wiped their hands and gathered in Zhuque Square again. superior.

The first batch to be dealt with, of course, is in charge, Prince Duan Boluo, Prince Jin Nikan, Jianghuai Admiral Liu Liangzuo, Minister of the Qing Ministry of Punishment Li Yanling, even the great demon who was killed, Li Chengdong, the general soldier of Linqing, was defeated and feared to be captured. The body of Gongshun Wang Kong Youde, who committed suicide, was crushed by a prison van and put on the public trial stand.

It took a long time to raise his hands, but with great difficulty, Han Dahu, the president of the trade union and vice consul of the Public Security Committee, suppressed the clamor of tens of thousands of people, and stretched out his fingers to those living and dead devil war criminals who were kneeling on the trial platform. More than a dozen copper horns roared with all their might.

"Heroic citizens of Yingtian, the suffering people in the south of the Yangtze River, folks, take care. These people in front of you are the chief culprits who led the slave army to invade my home and slaughter my relatives. Some of them took refuge in Jiannu and killed my compatriots. Kong Youde, the main commander of the Yangzhou Massacre, Boluo, Nikan, Li Chengdong, the murderer of the Jiading Three Massacres, and Li Yanling, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment who shamelessly reported his achievements in the Kunshan Massacre, they are the source of all this suffering!"

"Although according to the Commander-in-Chief's instructions, they should be given a chance to refute, but I, Lao Han, believe that their crimes are known to the world and cannot be forgiven. They should be given the cruelest death penalty. Do you have any objections?"

If we use the words of later generations, the people have already awakened, and almost all of them are filled with soaring anger, tens of 10 people raised their hands and shouted loudly.

"kill!"

"capital punishment!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, a puff of black smoke filled the venue, and the steelmaking furnaces of more than a dozen iron and steel factories were transported here. At the same time, a large pile of mold clay was also transported by trolley When they came over, the militiamen under the Security Committee yelled and wiped these people with their usual knives. In a blink of an eye, Bo Luo, Liu Liangzuo and others were already covered with more than half of their bodies.

"You southern dogs, what are you doing to us?"

Covered in horror, Bo Luo actually yelled loudly in Chinese with a Liaodong accent, folded his arms, his face was filled with the pleasure of revenge, Han Dahu laughed murderously.

"What are you doing? When you slaughtered Yangzhou, Jiangyin, and Kunshan, why didn't you expect that now, the command of the commander-in-chief will use you as a template to pour copper water and cast it into a bronze statue, like Qin Hui, who will always kneel on several statues In front of the blood-stained city!"

In later generations, there are still people who opened a memorial hall for Shang Kexi, opened an academic seminar, and gave a positive evaluation. Song Qingshu was very angry about this for a while. What to commemorate, commemorate Shang Kexi's heroic feat of massacring my compatriots, encourage everyone Are they all traitors?
Isn't it commemorative?This time, I will come to commemorate to the end, let them be completely infamous for thousands of years, and also warn those who have become traitors and conspirators with evil intentions, this is the end!
In fact, pouring copper may not be more painful than Ling Chi, but the fear it brought was indescribable. They were all wiped to the chest with clay, and Nikan yelled and cursed loudly in fear.

"How dare you wait for the southern barbarians to treat us like this! Wait, the regent will avenge us and slaughter your ruined city!"

Then, more than a dozen Han Chinese, Mongols, and Manchu nobles were either yelling or begging, especially Liu Liangzuo, who was already full of snot and tears, crying and shouting.

"I beg you, tell Marshal Song that I, Liu Liangzuo, am willing to surrender. I can do whatever Marshal Song wants me to do. I, I am willing to dedicate all of my family property to Marshal Song. I beg you, spare my life, please..."

Before he finished begging for mercy, a handful of mud was stuffed into his mouth. In the excitement of the crowd, the faces of the last few people were covered with clay, and some workers quickly dried the mold with fire, but at this moment , leaning against the judgment platform, an old voice shouted hastily.

"Keep people under the sword! I am the special envoy of King Lu! I order you to keep people under the sword!"

It's a pity that no one listened to him. Amidst the loud cheers, the red hot copper water poured down the reserved holes, and a puff of black smoke rose from more than a dozen molds, soaring into the sky. After waiting for a few minutes, the worker smashed the clay with a big hammer, and a dozen bronze figures with hideous faces suddenly appeared.

"This is the fate of betraying the motherland and soul!" Stepping on a bronze figure, Han Dahu shouted, once again, the huge Suzaku Square was boiling.
