On the night of April 7, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, a group of thugs under the leadership of three lawless students stormed the Duanli Gate of the Shu Palace, and deliberately damaged the statue of Emperor Taizu Gao hanging on the Duanli Gate by bad means.

The guards of the Shu Wangfu of the Protector Army quickly attacked and took down all the thugs, except for one core member, Su Guansi, a former talent who had abolished his fame.

This sensational event in Shu was greatly exaggerated by the "Fuxing Daily", and it was called the "Duanlimen Rebellion Incident".

The great rebellion of Duanlimen, together with the Qiongzhou thief rebellion, undoubtedly became a landmark event in the Zhu Pingjin era.

It also means that the anti-rebellion movement has spread from one government and one place to the whole province of Sichuan, and it also means that the rebellion of the Shu Dynasty has entered the climax stage of arresting and killing from one person to another, and it also means that the Zhu Ming Dynasty's policy towards scholars has gradually changed from "favor" that lasted for 300 years to "beating and pulling" in the future.

Many years later, some people re-examined this history and pointed out that the Qiongzhou Incident was indeed sudden and accidental, but when the Qiongzhou Incident was caused, many things seemed to have become logical, including the Duanlimen Rebellion Incident.

The Shu Wangfu and the Sichuan government were obviously not simply passive responders in the whole incident. In fact, they made a lot of preparations in advance, and even added fuel to the fire in the course of the incident, and did some disgraceful small actions behind the scenes.

When Zhu Pingjin, the son of Shu who vigorously promoted reform, returned from the starry night of the Baoning front line and personally commanded the suppression of the rebellion in the Xinfan barracks, this stormy campaign would inevitably increase.

Because the anti-rebellion movement itself is a by-product of the great reform of Shudi.

In a word, to put it bluntly:

The big reform will inevitably bring about the big rebellion! And the big town itself is an indispensable premise and component of the great reform!

……

Back to the thrilling night of April 7 in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

The thugs who stormed the Duanli Gate and damaged the true face of Emperor Taizu Gao were immediately arrested and put into the Shu Palace. Involved in the case of conspiracy against the Great Rebellion, these thugs are undoubtedly the first and last time to enter the Shu Palace.

Liao Daheng, the governor of Sichuan, who got the news, rushed to the Shu Palace, with a group of subordinate officials, to personally check the damage to the statue of Taizu's true face, and lined up to cry bitterly under the statue.

Subsequently, Liao Daheng, who was full of tears and grief on his face, together with the officials of the Judicial Department and the Trial Department of the Shu Palace, conducted an overnight interrogation of the rioters in the Duanli Gate in accordance with the important instructions of Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu, to "quickly arrest, try and kill" for short.

Under the punishment of the people, the rioters spoke one after another.

The detailed confessions greatly shocked the officials who participated in the trial. At the unanimous request of the officials, the governor of Sichuan, Liao Daheng, quickly took urgent response measures.

Futai strictly ordered that Chengdu, the provincial capital, and the surrounding prefectures and counties immediately lock down the city and soak up the rebels involved for three days.

The Chengdu Garrison Regiment of the National Protector Army, the Royal Guard Force, the Shu Security Bureau, the Sichuan Judicial Division, and the police and officials of the Chengdu Prefecture immediately dispatched to arrest the criminals who had been exposed.

Liao Daheng also gave Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu, an excerpt, and in addition to reporting the situation, he also requested that the garrisons of the National Protector Army in various places be authorized to take all necessary measures against the local officials and gentry thugs involved in the rebellion, including military control in case of emergency.

The lockdowns and arrests in Chengdu and the prefectures and counties of western Sichuan have turned into a shut-down and crackdown on the opposition.

The clans, officials, gentry, students, merchants, and hooligans involved in the Duanlimen rebellion were powerless to resist in the face of the thunderous disaster, and could only be captured.

Among them, some people have provided financial support, some have given speeches on the streets, some have printed posters, some have deliberately spread rumors, and some have taken the opportunity to run rampant with the dregs of society in the neighborhood. Some people are arrested, not because they did anything, but because they did nothing when they should have done it. Of course, there are also some people who almost kill themselves out of curiosity.

The city is locked, and the criminals outside the city are naturally unwilling to be caught.

However, when the criminals learned the news and fled in a hurry, they found that there was a big net everywhere in Shudi:

All wharves, car dealers, ferries, streets, passes, checkpoints, hotels, townships, and Wangzhuang are posted with wanted notices for criminals.

Portrait, gender, height, accent, fingerprints, and even the registration number of the yellow and white cards, all the identification information that can distinguish other people from others, are all prominently posted on the wall.

Many of those who fled in a hurry could not bear the interrogation of the township soldiers who were fully dispatched, so they simply threw away their burdens and surrendered themselves.

The full implementation of the yellow and white cards has made the arrest work go exceptionally smoothly. For the first time, the identity card was presented to everyone as a tool for the state to identify and manage the personal identity of citizens

It shows its great power.

A small piece of paper, in the eyes of some people, is like a sharp blade, which can easily cut a person's throat.

……

The third day after the start of the rebellion.

On the morning of April 11, it was a foggy and wet day.

In the Zhaojue Zen Forest, a famous monastery in the north of Chengdu, a group of prisoners were sent in by a motorcade covered with coarse cloth canopies.

This temple, known as "the first Zen forest in Xichuan", has a special relationship with the Shu domain from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

In that year, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu Xian, was in Chengdu, and was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor, to specially invite the monk Zhirun Zen Master to serve as the abbot of Zhaojue Temple, and paid out of his own pocket to expand the temple extensively, "the surrounding wall is more than 700 zhang, the palace is cloudy, the golden body supports the Han, so that the Tibetan Pavilion monk's corridor, the Buddha of the heavens, all are not magnificent." ”

In the Ming system, one hundred and fifty zhang is one mile, and more than seven hundred zhang is about five miles. The Forbidden City of Beijing is no more than six miles and five miles in circumference. As the largest palace complex in Sichuan, the Shu Palace, located in the center of Chengdu Mansion, is only five miles in circumference.

A temple is the same size as the Shu Palace. If you talk about the scale, Zhaojue Temple is undoubtedly the largest temple in Shu today.

To the north of the Zangjing Pavilion of Zhaojue Temple is a large secluded forest standing in Gübelin (Note 1). The carriage sparkled by, breaking the thick silence of the forest.

When they finally arrived, the coachman shouted at the horses and tightened the reins.

Before the car could stop, a large number of armed soldiers in gray clothes and black helmets, with red cloth strips wrapped around their arms, rushed forward. They lifted the curtain of the caravan and let the prisoners roll out of the caravan.

The prisoners were men and women, old and young, well-dressed and short-dressed. Crying and pleading, they were dragged out of the car by the soldiers without saying a word, and forced to walk along the forest path into the terrible depths of the forest.

They may have realized their fate, but human instinct makes them reluctant to give up hope of life. Until...... They saw a large pit that had been dug in the glade.

"This king is a descendant of the heavenly family! The ancestors have a law, and the clan is guilty, and they will all be sent to Fengyang to be banned by high walls! You can't kill me, this king wants to see Zhu Pingjin! ”

At the front of the line of prisoners, an old fat man with gray hair struggled and shouted frantically. He was dressed in a white silk undershirt, his hands were tied behind his back with hemp rope, his hair was scattered, and his face was slapped.

"Zhu Zhijun, didn't you think about the fate of Zhu Zhishen's father and son when you rebelled?" One of the officers smiled contemptuously.

The officer took out a crumpled notebook from his waist pocket and read it aloud:

"Zhu Zhijun, male, royal family, formerly enshrined as the king of Deyang County, was executed according to the law of the Ming Dynasty for committing the major crime of rebellion, and was executed immediately!"

Hearing Ling Chi's death sentence, Zhu Zhijun's eyes suddenly rolled his eyes, his feet weakened, and he knelt down.

The officer smiled slightly, and continued to say aloud:

"The son of the world is merciful, thinking of his blood relatives, according to the rules of the Eight Discussions of the Great Ming Law (Note 2), extrajudicial mercy, and changing the punishment of Ling Chi to death!

Zhu Zhijun, the prince changed the public Ling Chi to a gun, that is to save face for you, and also for our Shu clan to save face!

It's clean here, and there are great monks nearby who chant scriptures for you every day, so you can go with peace of mind!

Don't resent us, Lao Tzu is both killing and buriing, lest your body enter the belly of a dog and be reincarnated as a dog's womb! ”

As soon as the officer's words fell, the two strong soldiers stepped forward and dragged Zhu Zhijun to the edge of the pit and knelt down.

A third soldier stepped forward briskly with a smoking firebolt. He pressed a sharp three-edged bayonet against Zhu Zhijun's left back, and his fingers reached the shiny brass trigger (Note 3).

Zhu Zhijun's soul flew out of the sky.

He tried to plead, but his throat seemed to be choked with a mass of cotton, and he could not make a sound; He tried to struggle to his feet, but two large hands pressed against his shoulders, preventing him from moving.

With a loud bang, Zhu Zhijun's body suddenly broke free of the restraints and rushed forward, his chest immediately bloomed like flowers, and the minced flesh and blood mist erupted together, raising a red umbrella.

The soldier who fired took advantage of the momentum and kicked forward, and Zhu Zhijun's soft body rolled into the bottom of the pit like a stone.

The first prisoner was successfully disposed of, but the officer was not satisfied. He shouted to the soldiers: "Everyone, hurry up! Live a lot today! Hurry up and bring the rest of the group of twenty to the edge of the pit!" ”

The birds in the forest were frightened by the loud noises and did not dare to return to their nests for a long time.

Their mournful cries add a terrifying atmosphere to the empty and silent cypress forest.

……

Zhu Zhijun, the king of Deyang, was the first person to kill people in the anti-rebellion movement, and he was also the highest-ranking one.

Zhu Zhijun was originally the title of General Zhenguo.

After the heir of the Deyang sect was cut off, Zhu Zhijun was enshrined in the forty-fourth year of Jiajing according to the court's special policy for the clan, and inherited the title of the ancestor King Deyang.

However, even if Zhu Zhijun won the title of county king, he was still an opportunist in the eyes of the large sects and small sects of the Shu Domain, and he was in a marginal position in the political and economic dividends within the clan.

The death of Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, made Zhu Zhijun lose his political backer; The debauchery and misconduct of Zhu Zhijun's personal private life provided an excellent target for his successor, Zhu Pingjian, to establish his authority in the clan.

Soon after the death of King Shu, Zhu Zhijun was impeached by Zheng Anmin, the right chief of the Shu Palace, for the crime of feasting with prostitutes during the state funeral. The imperial court quickly granted the request of the Shu domain and gave him a major punishment of removing the ban from the country.

Before the Spring Festival, Zhu Zhijun relied on bribes to pretend to be pitiful, deceived Zheng Anmin, who had soft ears, and Luo Yuhong, who pretended to be a virgin, and led his family out of the high wall and lived in a fairly good courtyard.

However, Zhu Zhijun, who was supposed to be a man with his tail between his legs from now on, did not forget the hatred of removing the ban of the country, and began to carefully contact the Shu clan who had lost their manor slaves, as well as the ministers and gentry who opposed Zhu Pingjin.

However, even though Zhu Zhijun felt that he was very careful, he was quickly exposed.

Zheng Anmin's self-preservation initiative was only a secondary reason for Zhu Zhijun's exposure, and the secret revelation of individual Shu clan clans was another secondary reason.

But the main reason is that the secret correspondence between Wang Yingxiong, the former deputy assistant of the cabinet, and Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the Beijing Division, was intercepted by the Military Intelligence Bureau.

In the intercepted letters, Wang Yingxiong alluded to the fact that there was a county king Xiaozong in the Shu clan who was Zhu Pingjian's sworn enemy. In the future, the imperial court will punish Zhu Pingjin, and this person can cooperate with the inside and the outside, and offer a great gift to the imperial court to stabilize Shu.

The sworn enemy Fushun Wang's father and son have already been Ling Chi, and the biggest suspect left is of course Zhu Zhijun.

Zhu Pingjin hated Zhu Zhijun so much, but he couldn't bear it for months. This time to suppress the rebellion, Zhu Zhijun was at the top of the blacklist.

Before the end of April 7, Zhu Zhijun was taken down in bed, along with his family servants and dozens of generals and lieutenants of the Deyang family.

In the dark compartment of Zhu Zhijun's study, the case-handling personnel of the Shu'an Bureau searched for dozens of letters. According to these letters, dozens of more people were pulled out, including three influential bigwigs:

Liu Yuliang, the former cabinet chief assistant of Zhishi;

Peng County Jinshi Gong Wanjing;

Yunnan patrol according to Jiading Luo Guoxian.

These three people are all highly influential gentry leaders in the whole of Sichuan, and Liu Yuliang and Gong Wanjing were specially hired by Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu, as counselors of the Counselor's Office of the Shu Palace!

Of course, the case-handling personnel did not dare to delay such a major matter.

The investigation report was soon submitted to Liao Daheng, the chief military minister of the Shu Prince's Mansion and the governor of Sichuan.

However, Liao Daheng did not make a decision as quickly as he did with Zhu Zhijun, the king of Deyang.

Someone saw Mr. Liu, Liao Daheng's chief strategist and cheap brother-in-law, enter the Futai Yamen. I don't know what Mr. Liu had for Liao Fu, in short, soon after, Mr. Sun, the secretary of the military aircraft, sent out a message from Liao Fu: Shang Song Shizi.

However, playing is not the same as waiting. Luo Guoxian, a native of Jiading, is still in Yunnan, and his family is not alarmed for the time being, as for Liu Yuliang and Gong Wanjing, they immediately notified the Mianzhou side, one word: Catch!

It's not about one person, it's about all of them!

Note 1: The area north of Zhaojue Temple has been isolated for other purposes today.

Interested book lovers can browse the map on their own and think about what it means.

According to the elders, the place used to crack down on the anti-communist National Salvation Army in the early days of liberation was the one that was used to crack the anti-communist National Salvation Army. Of course, the prisoners are not transported by horse-drawn carts, but by trucks. Truck after truck.

Note 2: Eight discussions, that is, "discussion of relatives, discussion of reason, discussion of merit, discussion of merit, discussion of merit, discussion of merit, discussion of ability, discussion of diligence, discussion of nobles, and discussion of guests" stipulated in the Daming Law.

In the past, these regulations have always been criticized as the privilege of the feudal law of "punishing the doctor and not punishing the common people", but now that I think about it, it is indeed realistic and reasonable.

Can the handling of regular G-class criminals be the same as that of ordinary criminals?

QC prison, how can ordinary criminals enter?

Isn't equality before the law too idealistic, like all theories of absolutism?

Note 3: The reason why it is necessary to use a bayonet against the back of the prisoner to shoot a prisoner and then fire is for three main purposes:

Accurate shooting, saving bullets, the position of the bayonet is the impact point;

Control the distance between the muzzle and the body to prevent the muzzle from being blocked and exploded due to the shooter's excessive tension and the muzzle being too close to the human body;

Finally, it is convenient to make up the knife.
