Chapter 156 The Bear Prince Consort
(Banned for no apparent reason, waiting to be lifted)
Just now when Ling Chi Gao Ying Xiang, Zhu Cixiang deliberately asked him to suffer less.
Otherwise, with Jin Yiwei's skill as a sharp swordsman, Gao Yingxiang would not have been able to die with more than three hundred cuts.
This time, when they met Yang Guli, Jian Nu's consort, Yang Guli fainted and died just after taking one look at the knife in Jin Yiwei's hand.
The sharp swordsmen of Jinyiwei and some brave people laughed loudly:
"The barbarians who built the slaves were all bear bags. They were frightened and fainted before they were even punished. Why were they so brave and kept entering the border to harm the Ming Dynasty..."
It was certain that someone would not die in Ling Chi, so Jin Yiwei poured a basin of cold water on Yang Guli's head.
Jiannu's brother-in-law quickly opened his eyes, but remembering the tragic situation of the big man opposite him, he instantly became incontinent.
The executioner Jin Yiwei's sword-wielding hand shook his head, and the knife in his hand began to move smoothly.
As the knife flew around, strips of flesh and blood were quickly cut off from Yangguli's body, and Yangguli screamed and fainted again.
Gao Wencai was furious:
"I'm really sorry, so prepare a few more basins of water. If you see him faint, water him immediately to wake him up!"
"Here"
Gao Wencai gave the order, and immediately a dozen guards in golden uniforms came to Yang Guli carrying water basins.
As soon as he saw him closing his eyes and pouring water on him, Yangu Li immediately started howling again.
Ling Chi was already in pain, and the open wound was even more painful when cold water was poured on it. In order to relieve the pain, Yang Guli did not dare to close his eyes, and could only watch himself being beaten by Ling Chi...
The sound of the knife cutting flesh clearly reached Yanguli's ears, and he could only twist his body in pain.
If Yangguli was asked to choose how to die now, he would rather commit suicide than let the Ming army capture him.
…
After three thousand and one blows, the prisoner was still breathing weakly. Jin Yiwei's sharp knife expert felt very proud.
His previous record for Ling Chi was two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars, but today he broke the record.
After three thousand and three blows, Jiannu's concubine finally stopped breathing, and his heart stopped beating due to excessive blood loss. Jin Yiwei's sharp knife hand waved his hands in celebration with satisfaction...
When he looked back at the high platform, he found that Emperor Chongzhen had left. When he looked at the civil and military officials on the platform, he fainted...
At the end of Lingchi, the people did not rush to eat the meat of the Lingchi people as described in history, but dispersed one after another!
When Yuan Chonghuan and Liu Jin were imprisoned, it was said that people were fighting for their flesh and blood.
This incident is not necessarily true. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, both official and unofficial histories are inaccurate and contain many falsifications.
For the time being, we believe that it is a true historical fact that the people ate Yuan Chonghuan’s meat.
What happened behind this incident represented the huge mental pressure that the people faced from the kingdom.
Anyone who sees foreign enemies often attacking at the gate of the capital will feel that his life is not long. This kind of huge mental pressure will make people crazy.
And when a vent appears, people will not think about the right or wrong of the matter, but will release their pressure through crazy behavior.
When one person takes the initiative, things will get worse.
There were many incidents of cannibalism recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty. When the eunuch Liu Jin was executed by Ling Chi, the people in the capital shared the meat to eat.
I feel that people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty were fond of this kind of food. Whenever someone came to Lingchi, they would go there and wait to eat meat.
Therefore, this matter itself is not reasonable. It is very likely that the literati used this description to express that they were forced to surrender and become slaves.
When the Manchus and Qing Dynasty compiled the history of the Ming Dynasty, many historical details were changed, and they went through several large-scale literary inquisitions, making the history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties very unclear.
It is not uncommon for things to be framed and smeared in history books. Yuan Chonghuan is not necessarily a loyal minister, and his flesh being eaten by the common people is not necessarily a historical fact.
Many historical truths are covered up by dust, so we need to analyze carefully when looking at history, and we cannot blindly choose to believe it.
There is also a lot of controversy over Yuan Chonghuan's behavior in the historical circles.
For example, the murder of Mao Wenlong out of jealousy, the fornication of gold and the sale of grain, grass and weapons, etc. We simply cannot restore the historical situation at that time.
Originally, the story of the Crown Prince ransacking his house and beheading officials and nobles was widely reported in the capital, and many officials were ready to take the opportunity to discredit and publicize the Crown Prince's move.
However, after the revelation of Ling Chi Gao Yingxiang and Jiannu E's son-in-law Yang Guli, those who suffered a huge psychological blow temporarily gave up and continued to fight against the crown prince in order to protect themselves.
Emperor Chongzhen could kill officials with rods and kill people, but he would never be able to kill officials on a large scale. He really didn't have the courage.
During the Chongzhen Dynasty, he almost never killed any royal family members, and rarely dealt with nobles and some self-respecting generals.
The most he could do was reprimand some of the great military leaders like Liu Zeqing, Zu Dashou, Zuo Liangyu, Wu Sangui, etc.
After a late performance, Chongzhen finally couldn't hold on to the end and hurried back to the palace in the middle.
However, he felt nauseous after eating for two consecutive days. Chongzhen secretly vowed that he would never join in such fun again. It was best to leave this kind of thing to the prince.
Although the Jiannu slaves in Gyeonggi Province are still looting recently, they are only on a small scale.
However, after the Ming Dynasty general established his son-in-law Lingchi, Abatai, who was defeated by Zhu Cihong, suddenly rose up and carried out large-scale burning, killing and looting in the capital city. Shunyi, which had been abandoned, was occupied by them again.
When Chongzhen received the military report, he was like an ant on a hot pot. He could no longer calm down and immediately sent an order to Zhang Fengyi, Secretary of the Ministry of War, to lead King Qin's troops to repel Jiannu.
However, the military information soon came out. The 50,000 troops of King Qin were beaten by the defeated generals of Abatai's more than 10,000 remaining soldiers. Now they are all cowering in Tongzhou, not daring to show their heads at all.
Chongzhen angrily tore the military newspaper to pieces. Nowadays, except for the crown prince, is there no army in the Ming Dynasty that dares to fight against Jiannu?
However, the crown prince's subordinates suffered heavy losses in the battle at Deshengmen, and they still had to protect the capital.
In desperation, Chongzhen had no choice but to send an order to Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou, who were suppressing bandits, to lead troops to serve the king.
In the past, such matters had to be decided by wrangling with ministers for several days, but the rise of the crown prince made Chongzhen see clearly the ugly faces of those ministers, so he decided directly without discussing with anyone.
After Zhu Cihong heard about it, he knew that the emperor was playing with fire again, so he immediately rushed to Qianqing Palace to dissuade him.
Seeing the arrival of the crown prince, Zhu Cixiang's frown relaxed:
"Your Majesty's arrival is just in time. The Jian slaves have begun to ravage the capital again. King Qin's troops are extremely incompetent. My father has already mobilized Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou to lead troops to suppress the bandits."
In history, it was the slaves who repeatedly dispersed the Ming army at critical moments, allowing the rogue bandits to survive and finally destroy the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen's operation today is exactly the same as in history.
Zhu Cixi really wanted to kick his father hard, but he just thought about it in his mind. He shook his head helplessly and said:
"Father, have you forgotten? I am now the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. You should discuss it with me before making a decision.
