Chapter 836: Rare Torture

The people's reaction has far exceeded Wu Zheng and Zhang Huangyan's expectations.

Not only did they not kill Chen Hongfan on the spot, but they were afraid that they would kill Chen Hongfan.

It is said that a person like Chen Hongfan, who is called "living Qin Hui" by the people of Jiangnan and full of evil, should be dismantled immediately by the people at this time to relieve the hatred in their hearts, but the people are afraid that he will die at that time.

On the issue of how to deal with him, the people specially held a unique "symposium" for this purpose, so as to decide how to "entertain" this, and everyone wanted to eat his "living Qin Hui".

The public has a great deal of patience in this matter. Maybe it's because the people hate him too much, just as people weep with joy and laugh with anger.

After a whole day of deliberation, he finally came up with a plan that satisfied the most people, and on this day, Chen Hongfan listened on the spot, but unfortunately, he had no way to express the fear in his heart.

Chen Hongfan's clothes have been stripped away, and the cold wind at this time is biting, fortunately it is daytime, if it is night, I am afraid that he has frozen to death. His hair had been shaved, and in the eyes of the people, people like Chen Hongfan should not have the Han people's clothes and hair ties.

Chen Hongfan was tied up, and his mouth was sewn shut with steel needles and twine.

Therefore, even if Chen Hongfan wanted to argue and beg for mercy, he couldn't open his mouth.

But the muddy underneath him showed that the extreme fear in his heart had reached the point of unbearable.

That night, when the people discussed and discussed the proposed plan, and presented it to Wu Zheng after being polished by a former dynasty and the first Xiucai, Wu Zheng was dumbfounded.

Zhang Huangyan beside him curiously came up and glanced at it, and said in shock: "Lord Wang, this is ...... Isn't that too contrary to the teachings of the saints? ”

Wu Zheng did hesitate, should this case be opened?

At this time, Jiang Quanyi hung his injured left arm, stepped forward to look at it, and said abruptly: "Saints teach people to be good, but today, people are no longer human, so they should be regarded as animals." If the prince can hand over this thief to the lowly position, the lowly job guarantees that after nine days, the thief can still breathe! ”

Wu Zheng was a little moved, glanced at Ma Shiying and said, "What does Master Ma think?" ”

Ma Shiying wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a firm tone: "The lower officials think that they should be dealt with like this!" Only in this way can we soothe the grievances in the hearts of the people and deter traitors and evil officials in various places and those who are indecisive and have left and right. ”

Wu Zheng turned back to Zhang Huang and said, "Brother Xuan, have you heard everything?" ”

Zhang Huangyan stubbornly said: "I don't object to the execution of Chen Hongfan, but this method is too tyrannical and destructive...... It's against heaven and earth! I heard that there was a righteous man Xie Qian in Shandong who gathered the people to rebel against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the righteous army invaded Zichuan City, and Sun Zhiqi, who admonished Dolgon to shave his hair, was carried out by this method...... Lord Wang, man, after all, is a man, and cannot become a beast! ”

Sun Zhiqi, a native of Zichuan County, Shandong, was a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse.

This guy has always had a strange personality, in the early years of Chongzhen, the eunuch party fell, Sun Zhiqi was not a member of the eunuch party, but when the courtiers asked to destroy the "Three Dynasties Classics", only this guy cried loudly in the hall, and Emperor Chongzhen then ordered it to be included in the eunuch party rebellion case, and he was dismissed from office for the people.

After the Qing army entered the customs, a piece of paper recruited him to enter Beijing, and he went in a hurry, and was awarded the right attendant of the official rites department.

Later, after the British prince Azige set Jiujiang, the deputy capital Tong Dai stayed behind, and Sun Zhiqi volunteered to recommend himself to Zhaofu, Dolgon believed, and awarded him the title of military secretary to order him to appease Jiangxi.

It's a pity that after arriving in Jiangxi, no one in the army and the people took care of him, "a long time without merit, the city is good", Dolgon was disappointed, so he no longer took care of Sun Zhiqi, and soon Sun Zhiqi was dismissed as a citizen.

If it's just like this, it's not a great crime, originally, the Ming Dynasty raised scholars for hundreds of years, but once it perished, there were few scholars who were willing to die generously with it.

Among the people who died in the capital, the ministers were only 21 people under Fan Jingwen, a scholar of Dongge University, and many of them became courtiers of the new dynasty.

If you really want to use this to determine the life and death of a person, I am afraid that you will kill seventy percent of the scholars in Jiangbei.

The reason why Sun Zhiqi was hated by the people to the point of no more is because of his advice to Dolgon-the shaving order.

In fact, there have been two waves of "shaving orders" for the Qing army to enter the customs.

The first wave was carried out by Duoduo, which directly triggered the Jiangyin Massacre and the Jiading Three Massacres, mainly concentrated in Jiangnan.

And the second wave was triggered after Sun Zhiji, a traitor, admonished Dolgon to "keep your head without hair, and keep your hair without your head".

For thousands of years, the Han people have been educated by the concept of "the body is skinned, the parents who receive it, dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety".

The shaving order deprived the people of their symbolism as Han Chinese and the last psychological line of defense against being slaves.

As a result, a tragic and fierce struggle against shaving was triggered, and it is unimaginable how tragic and how many people died.

In just three years, there were as many as 17 uprisings between Shandong and Tianjin.

Ding Weiyue and Zhang Yaozhong, peasants from Yanzhou, Shandong, led the people to hold an anti-Qing uprising

Youqingyun Yang Sihai pretended to be the heir of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and gathered thousands of people to oppose the Qing Dynasty, but in only half a year, he was suppressed.

There was a Tianjin woman, Zhang, who claimed to be the empress of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and Wang Li and Zhang Tianbao printed jade seals and order flags, and organized anti-Qing teams, with as many as 20,000 or 30,000 people, which were also exterminated in less than half a year.

And the momentum, the largest one, that is, what Zhang Huangyan said at this time, Shandong Xie Qian uprising, before and after three years, because the righteous army first pointed the spearhead at the local landlords, traitors and merchants who colluded with the Qing Dynasty, confiscated their property, grain, and distributed to the local poor peasants, by the peasants support, the power developed rapidly, by the Qing court called Shandong "the first giant", the number of people as high as 50,000 or 60,000 people.

At the beginning of the year, Xie Qian and Ding Keze led the rebel army to capture Zichuan, arrested Sun Zhiqi, announced his crime in public and sentenced him to death, and the method was similar to the plan presented by the people to deal with Chen Hongman at this time, and all eight members of Sun Zhiqi's immediate family were also executed.

After that, Xie Qian led the rebel army to defend the city of Zichuan for two months, and then the Qing army dug tunnels and used gunpowder to collapse the city wall, lost and defeated, the military advisor Zhao Shuxiang was killed, and Xie Qian was captured and taken to the capital.

By the way, even Wu Sangui, who was "angry at the crown and became a red face", although he "had a bloody wedding in the corpse mountain and a sea of blood, and made a dowry in splendid rivers and mountains" for Chen Yuanyuan, he did not agree to shave his hair, and he once had a dispute with Dorgon in public in order to stop the "shaving order".

It can be seen how unpopular the "shaving order" was among the folk Han people at that time.

Therefore, hearing Zhang Huangyan talk about Sun Zhiqi's fate, Wu Zheng felt a nameless annoyance in his heart.
