Chapter 289: Iron Stone (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for Support)
The screams echoed in the execution ground, and the screams were extremely miserable, even the hard-hearted people would be soft-hearted, and more viewers would be unbearable to witness because of the screams.
But if you get used to this kind of screaming, you will also become insensitive, and eventually you will become deaf.
Call, call, just call it!
Every time the knife goes down, Wei Daoshan will think like this here, this scream is like a gong and drum on the stage, with a fascinating and beautiful melody, he enjoys this beautiful music, enjoys all this.
At this time, he was like a master, dancing in the music, the butterfly knife in his hand, even like the butterfly, flying in the red blood flowers, each time the knife went down, the snow blade was like a butterfly with wings spread.
At this time, Wei Daoshan felt that his steps seemed to become frivolous, and he even remembered the women among the natives, dancing there to the jubilant drum music, like butterflies among the flowers, flying among the flowers, but at this time, it was not his body that was flying, but his hands, and his hands were dexterously dancing in the blood flowers.
While Wei Daoshan was immersed in the joy of the execution and enjoyed the pleasure of it, the music in his ears echoed in the scene, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes faint.
At this time, his whole person was completely immersed in this beautiful melody, although he was addicted, but the knife in his hand became more and more proficient, each knife, became extremely accurate, and the meat that slice down was also according to the difference between meat, some were as thin as cicada wings, and some were slightly thicker. Some are fat and lean, and some are full of bright red tender meat. And the meat will always be neatly laid out on his plate, as if it were the raw material needed for a banquet, and he will neatly place it on the plate for everyone to taste.
However, for Hei Luna, who suffered from Ling Chi's punishment, he couldn't enjoy all this like Wei Daoshan, the pain, the boundless pain was constantly tormenting him, Ling Chi was not cutting the flesh in one place one after another, but changing the place with each knife, this was to avoid numbness in the wound, in order to maximize the pain of the prisoner.
Chest, arms, thighs, calves and other places will continue to circulate the knife, so that Hei Lu can clearly feel the pain caused by each knife, the pain constantly stimulates his nerves, making him let out a miserable howl, and the blood loss makes his mind a little blurred, but the pain is real, and even constantly amplified.
His body twisted and struggled, and every time the knife went down, he let out a miserable howl, and the howl was extremely painful, because his teeth were broken, so his words seemed very blurred, and no one could hear what he was howling, only the scream of the rash man.
And Hei Lu screamed miserably, which caused the local officials who were present to watch the execution to be deeply stimulated and greatly shaken. Some of them had even vomited when they saw the blood-red flesh on display in front of them......
When the officials and servants who could no longer bear all this tried to leave the place, the soldiers who had been ordered to stay there to prevent anyone from leaving the place, and everyone had to see the end, after all, it was this punishment that was the finale of this feast.
Hurry up and end it!
That's what almost everybody thinks, and every single one of them longs for the end, for all of them to end now.
But it's not over yet!
The appetizer has just been finished, and the main course is just the beginning.
"Fifteen hundred...... Sixty-one knife ......"
The Jinyi guard who reported the number has been replaced, he is already too tired to hold on, for people who have not gone through the Ling Chi punishment, standing aside to report the number is an unprecedented test, ordinary people, can support two or three hundred knives, it is already unbelievable. But in fact, many people can't even hold on to a few dozen knives, even if they are usually hard-hearted and self-reliant, this will become soft-hearted, and they will be touched by the softness of their hearts by the screams, so that they can't bear all this in the end, so they will choose to quit and replace.
The person who reported the number was changed again, and another person came over with some reluctance, and then looked at the knife again, and watched the knife swim between the bright red flesh, and continued to report the number when the flesh was taken down.
The person who reported the number can be changed, but there are two people on this execution ground who can't be changed.
One was a prisoner tied to a pillar, and the other was an executioner.
At this time, Hei Lu has completely changed his appearance. Blood and water were mixed in his body, the flesh on his chest had been cut off, and even the bones of White Flower could be seen. His voice was muffled by the shattered teeth, and no one could hear what he was saying, even though people knew he was talking.
Is he praying, or is he swearing?
Who cares? The flesh around his neck was still fine, and as he spoke, he could even see a little bit of flesh on the lower side of his neck bouncing there.
If Wei Daoshan raised his head, he could naturally see that Hei Lu's eyes were following him, begging him, praying that he could end his life with one sword.
However, Wei Daoshan can't!
He has to complete this great punishment, who knows if there will be a second chance in this life?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
You must know that the Wei family has not had such an opportunity for several generations, and now that he has encountered it, he naturally can't miss such an opportunity, Wei Daoshan has even thought about it, after the execution, he will personally write a book to record this Ling Chi's execution, so as to ensure that future generations will know that this Ling Chi's punishment, how to go under the knife, and turn the oral craft into a knowledge, which will be passed on from generation to generation.
The sun above his head was scorching, so that Wei Daoshan felt the scorching heat of the sun, under the exposure of the sun, he was already sweating, he felt that he really couldn't support it, he was too tired!
But the sense of honor of his profession does not allow him to stop halfway, how can he stop?
In fact, he could have easily executed Heiluna, and then cut it with a knife, and finally completed the punishment, but he could not do that, not because he needed to avenge the dead brothers and adults, but more importantly, the honor and responsibility of the family did not allow him to do so.
If you don't use enough knives and don't get a full sentence, it will not only desecrate the laws of the Ming Dynasty. It will also insult the Wei family. I'm even sorry for the person in front of me.
After all, you have already received more than 1,000 knives, so you will receive another 2,000 knives, and when you get to the king of Hades, you can also say that you have been cut by a thousand knives!
In any case, he will use enough of this 3357 knife to let him die, if he doesn't use a full knife to let this black Lu Na die, then the Wei family's face will be lost, and when the time comes, what face will he have to meet his ancestors and ancestors.
This craft...... Gotta pass it on!
Passed down from generation to generation!
At that time, perhaps, if this Ling Chi punishment is written into a book, the imperial court may still allow him to open a court to teach apprentices, and at that time, the executioners of the world will worship him as a teacher, then he Wei Daoshan will be worthy of his ancestors, and even if it is a glorious lintel, life is like this, and he will die without shock.
But how can we make all the executioners in the world willing to worship him as a teacher?
Today's full sentence of Ling Chi is his famous work of Wei Daoshan, after all, the Ming Dynasty has been at least two hundred years, and no one has fulfilled this sentence!
Today, Wei will definitely be able to do it!
At this moment, Wei Daoshan's whole person became full of pride, and at this time, he even felt that the whole person was different from the past, he was no longer the ordinary executioner, he was the ancestor of the executioners in the world!
Wei Daoshan, who was sitting on the chair and resting, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, although the smell of blood in the air was extremely strong, but instead of feeling anything unusual, he felt a little kind, which was exactly the taste he liked.
That's the taste! That's the best smell!
After drinking a cup of tea and taking a breath, the proud Wei Daoshan cloth towel wiped off the blood on his body, which was the blood of Hei Lu Na, when the cloth towel was wet, he put his hands in the bucket and soaked for a while, enjoying a moment of coolness, so that the already sore hand was relaxed for a moment, after relaxing, he put the knife into the bucket and washed it, washed away the blood stains on the handle of the knife body, and then wiped the knife body dry, and then stood up again and stood in front of the prisoner.
Heirudao's mouth was still opening and closing, but the sound he made was getting weaker and weaker.
"Be more forgiving, the law of the country is ruthless!"
Again, after showing respect to the prisoner, he once again expressed his respect in his own way. With his hand up, the knife was raised, and the knife was like a flying butterfly, slashing at Hei Luna's body, and now his speed was much faster than at the beginning, and he was much more proficient.
Go faster!
Even Ling Chi, who used the 3357 knife for the first time, Wei Daoshan knew that his speed had to be faster, the meat slices he cut had to be smaller, he had to be faster, and only in this way could he let this Hei Lu use the 3357 knife before he died.
3357 knives!
"How many knives are you using now?"
The moment he raised his head, Wei Daoshan noticed the fear on his former brother's pale face when he looked at him, and even when he answered his words, his voice seemed to tremble a little.
"One, one thousand, one thousand, six hundred and ninety-three ......"
It's halfway through!
Thinking that Wei Daoshan, who had already used nearly 1,700 knives and was already tired enough to even raise his hand, drank a cup of strong tea again, and then the whole person regained his spirits, he no longer paid attention to the others, but just concentrated on the punishment.
At this time, Wei Daoshan seemed to have returned to his youth again, where he was using a knife and slicing down pieces of meat. Although he was a little tired, he still didn't stop. And the brocade guard on the side reported loudly, and those slices of meat from Hei Lu's body kept falling on the plate, if there was a big pot on the side, maybe a pot of beautiful boiled meat slices could be cooked, and the meat must be fresh.
The knife doesn't stop!
The number of reports has not stopped,
With a knife and a knife, pieces of meat fell on the plate and were shown to everyone. The entire execution ground was quiet, except for the fainter and fainter screams of Hei Luna, those who had been frightened stupid just watched all this in horror, even if they were as bold as reckless, at this time there was a cold sweat on their backs, he knew very well that if it wasn't for the coincidence, perhaps, now he would also be tied to this torture pillar, and he would be cut by the Ming people with so many knives, and he would also have to endure the torture of Guan Xiang.
Mang Bai only felt that his legs seemed to be unable to move, he could even hear his own heartbeat, and even when he looked at Hei Runa, he also had an illusion, feeling that the face had become his face, this illusion only made his face become bloodless, and when he looked at the Tongzhi Lord, when he looked at his full smile, his heart trembled even more, and he no longer dared to have the slightest disagreement. At least for this moment, he didn't dare to have the slightest dissent.
At this time, Hei Lu's life had reached the final juncture, but his eyelids had already fallen. Breathing sounded fainter and fainter from his mouth, and at this time, one could even see his abdominal cavity, because there was only a membrane left, and the intestines wriggled underneath the membrane, and the flesh on his arms was chopped off, as were his thighs.
It's the turn of the calf......
Pieces of meat were chopped off, and as if they were going to be cooked, they were served on plates and presented to the officials.
I don't know how long it has passed, but finally, Wei Daoshan, who was already tired and panting, straightened his waist, and he breathed a sigh of relief. By this time he was already tired and sweating, and the smile on his face had been counting.
After removing the last eyelid of the prisoner, looking at the rolling eyeball, the person who reported had already reported the "3356th knife".
Now, with only one last sword, the punishment is complete...... And at this time, the prisoner is not dead!
Just as he was about to stab him in the heart and end this punishment, Ding Yujie, who was holding a wine glass, suddenly said.
"One last cut, spare him!"
When he heard this, Wei Daoshan, who was already tired and out of breath, looked at his toes, and for a moment, he wanted to use the last knife, but at this time, he had no strength, just when he was clenching his fists and wanted to speak, the person lost his strength, and then fainted on the ground.
He's so tired!
At this time, there were already dozens of people sitting on the Tusi Tuguan, and they had already fainted.
It's finally over!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally over. But no one can really breathe a sigh of relief, because on the execution ground, the black Lu Na who was tied to the torture pillar is still moving, still struggling, and for him, this is not over yet.
And the last one, the deadliest one! It is also the knife that ended all the pain, and it did not fall.
And Ding Yujie, who was drinking wine with a wine glass, looked at those local officials with pale faces and fearful faces, he knew that his goal had been achieved, starting from today, at least in the next few decades, these local officials would remember this scene, they would never forget it for the rest of their lives, and they would remember it for the rest of their lives, what kind of price would be attached to betraying the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, the black Lu on the pillar still struggled slightly, I don't know if it was thanksgiving, Lord Xie Tongzhi spared his last knife......
And Mu Tianbo on the side looked at the scene in front of him, his heart was just tight, and he said secretly.
"This person is really a good means!"
There is no more viciousness than this!
Li Dingguo, who had not participated in this grand event, also couldn't help but sigh after learning the news from his subordinates.
"Father, in the eyes of a child, if it is a child, give that meat to those natives, and everyone will eat a few pieces of it, so that they can vent their hatred."
As the son of Li Dingguo, although he is only an adopted son, it is still well known in this army that Li Sixing is equivalent to his heir, and because of this, most of the people in the army call him "Major General." ”。
Hearing Li Sixing say this, Jin Tongwu explained with a smile on the side.
"Major General, Na Ding Tongzhi, what he needs is to vent his hatred, he killed people with Ling Chi's torture, but it was just to deter the local officials, so that the local officials did not dare to have a rebellious heart, so that it would be possible to manipulate them like arms in the future."
Then his words turned around, looked at Li Dingguo and said.
"Lord Wang, from now on, I'm afraid that the local officials here are going to obey Dingnan, how to do it next, please make plans as soon as possible."
As his most powerful subordinate, Jin Tongwu did not just serve as Ding Yujie like Li Sixing to vent his anger, he knew very well why Ding Yujie did this, and he was also very clear that now the Western Army is in a dilemma.
"What are you going to do?"
Bai Wenxuan on the side said with a smile.
"What else do you need to do there, now that this Burma has been taken for Dingnan, our army naturally wants to recuperate here, so that the whole army can have a good rest, as for Wu Sangui, let him lie sideways in Yunnan first, and wait until the whole army is almost recuperating, and then you will lead the brothers to take Yunnan and recover the southwest rivers and mountains!"
Although he is the king of Gongyi, Bai Wenxuan still calls himself a subordinate in front of Li Dingguo, but the closeness between words is incomparable to outsiders, after all, the two are old buddies who started an incident in Shaanxi back then. Over the years, there are few old brothers who are still alive.
Bai Wenxuan's suggestion made everyone in the house nodded quite approvingly, this is indeed the best choice for them, since the bloody battle of Mopan Mountain, they have been trapped in the wilderness, although this Myanmar is not as prosperous as Yunnan, but it is better in the city than in the wilderness, not to mention that there is grain and grass here, and there are people, so it is naturally more suitable.
"The prince is exactly like this, now this place has been all my Ming, as long as our army recuperates here, conscripts and trains native soldiers, training elephant teams, in less than a year, you can train 100,000 elite soldiers, when the time comes, the recovery of Yunnan, the recovery of rivers and mountains is naturally just around the corner!"
In everyone's suggestion, Li Dingguo, who was wearing a Ming official robe, just sat quietly on the chair, he just sat there, and the whole person seemed to be thinking deeply.
Whether it is the generals under his command or the staff, in Li Dingguo's opinion, they don't see anything - this place is not his Li Dingguo's, not the place where he Li Dingguo beat down!
Although on the surface, this is the place of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, it is Dingnan Tongzhi who is now in charge of this place, and in addition to Dingnan Tongzhi, there is also a Pingnan Governor. There is even one more Mu Guogong now.
Dingnan Tongzhi was in Dingnan City to control the local Tusi, levy the tax of the Tusi, and send the soldiers of the Tusi, as for the Governor of Pingnan, he mastered the Loyal and Righteous Army and the Sailor in Pingnan City, and the two complemented each other, so they grasped this place, plus Mu Guogong helped on the side. How could he allow him Li Dingguo to intervene on the side?
Standing beside Li Dingguo, seeing his father's deep thought, Li Sixing said conveniently.
"Father, are you worried about Dingnan? The child thought that he might as well invite him into the camp and ......"
Li Sixing's suggestion made Liu Zhen, the son of Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, immediately agree on the side.
"What the young general said is extremely true, the spontaneous firearms used by the loyal army firecrackers in the city are really eye-catching, and the Hongyi cannon, if you can seize its firearms, it will definitely help our army's momentum, and when the time comes, the prince will crusade against the Wu thief, and naturally get twice the result with half the effort!"
As soon as Liu Zhen's words fell, he immediately attracted a burst of approval from everyone, but no, for these people who came out of the deep mountains and forests, when they saw the loyal and righteous army, their first reaction was that these people were really generous, not to mention anything else, that is, the self-made fire guns in their hands, a red cannon, it was enough to make everyone's eyes hot, and even many people felt that if they had these red cannons at the beginning, I am afraid that Mopanshan would not have died so much, and even this would have been driven out of Yunnan.
Since someone started to mention the murder weapon, everyone who was already hot immediately agreed. Even Jin Tongwu agreed on the sidelines.
"Killing people and grabbing guns......
Li Dingguo, who was originally sitting on the chair, snorted, and then raised his head and glared at Li Sixing.
"And what about after taking it? Killed a Dingnan Tongzhi, don't forget that there is also the Pingnan Admiral, there are dozens of warships in the Jiangkou, and there are more than 1,000 Hongyi cannons alone, when the time comes, when tens of thousands of troops are killed, what should I do? ”
Sneering, looking at the generals under his command, Li Dingguo said again seriously.
"This Myanmar is already a poor land, even if it kills people and grabs land, how can it raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers in this land?"
Shaking his head and sighing at everyone's eyes, Li Dingguo looked at everyone again and said.
"Furthermore, Dingnan Tongzhi is my Ming official, the loyal army is also my Ming army, and the King of Huai has come thousands of miles here to send troops to rescue him, if I kill his subordinates, what face will I have to face the world? How can I be worthy of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor when the time comes? If anyone dares to mention this kind of cannibalism that makes the Manchus applaud each other......"
The "King of Huai" in Li Dingguo's mouth is the reward given to Zhu Mingzhong by Yongli, although this holy decree has not yet gone down to the Qinghe, but here, it has long been well known, and the position of "Jinglu" in the mouth of people before has naturally become "King Huai", so Li Dingguo will call him so.
Snorted coldly, looked around at everyone Li Dingguo's eyes sharpened, and then said in a deep voice.
"No mercy!"
