Chapter 69: The Logic of Rebellion
The occupation of Qingzhou, Dezhou, and Dizhou by the New Song Dynasty touched Zhao Guangyi's last rebellion, and as an emperor, the most annoying thing was that someone rebelled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
You don't see, since ancient times, regardless of dynasties and dynasties, as long as it is a rebellion, the crime sentenced is the heaviest.
The five punishments of the Xia Dynasty: ink, slash, slash, palace, and Dapi, of which Dapi is to cut off the head, mainly to punish those who dare to rebel, and Dabi is already the heaviest punishment of the original five punishments in ancient times.
Then to the pre-Qin five punishments outside the torture cannon branding is said to be a kind of torture used by the Shang Dynasty king, is a kind of torture that puts people on charcoal fire to burn red copper pillars, it is said that when the king of Xuan watched the execution of people, he also smiled: "If there is anyone who dares to usurp, it will also be punished." ”
Then the tyranny increased in later generations, the soup wok, a kind of torture that threw people into boiling soup and boiled to death; Car splitting, commonly known as five horse splitting, that is, the head and limbs of a person are tied to five carriages and torn limbs.
At the time of the Five Dynasties, Ling Chi was also added, which is also known as the most brutal death penalty in ancient China. In the fifth dynasty, there was a separate article in the criminal law, and the Yuan Dynasty was officially included in the criminal law.
Over the next 1,000 years, in order to make the people fear rebellion enough, the ancient Chinese emperors also designed more and more ultimate punishments to punish the rebels, which were horrific and cruel to the point that people could not imagine.
The first thing that feels creepy is peeling, when peeling from the spine, a knife to divide the back skin into two halves, slowly use the knife to separate the skin and muscles, and tear it apart like a butterfly's wings. The hardest is the fat one, because there is still a pile of oil between the skin and the muscles, which is not easy to separate.
There is also a peeling method, and I don't know how much credibility there is. The method is to bury the person in the earth, expose only one head, cut a cross with a knife on the top of the head, pull the scalp apart, and pour mercury into it. Due to the heavy gravity of mercury, it will pull the muscles and skin apart, and the person buried in the soil will writhe in pain, and will not be able to break free, and finally the body will jump out of the mouth from the fixed mouth, leaving only a piece of skin in the soil... After peeling off the skin, it was made into a two-sided drum and hung at the entrance of the yamen to show the ring, and the earliest peeling was peeled after death, and later developed into a live skin.
If the skin is already disgusting, then the halving is even bloodier and more brutal.
Since the waist chop is to cut the person from the middle, and the main organs are in the upper body, the prisoner will not die all at once, and will be conscious after the beheading, and it will take a long time before he dies.
Ming Chengzu killed Fang Xiaoru is to cut with a waist, legend has it that after a knife down, Fang Xiaoru also crawled on the ground with his elbows, and even wrote the word "usurpation" with blood on his hands, and wrote a total of twelve and a half before he died, in addition, Fang Xiaoru is the only one in ancient Chinese history who was "punished by the ten tribes", and the name of Zhu Di's tyrant has been passed down for thousands of years.
What kind of hatred made Zhu Di hate Fang Xiaoru so much? Do you have to punish the ten clans, so that the bloodline of the entire family will be cut off forever?
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is because Fang Xiaoru is willing to admit the legitimacy of Zhu Di's accession to the throne, and he believes that Zhu Di killed Zhu Yunwen and became the Ming Emperor by rebelling and usurping the throne.
This is amazing, in ancient China, the emperor's sensitivity to the word rebellion was super high.
They cannot tolerate someone rebelling against them, let alone others telling the truth about their rebellion.
So the upright and unyielding Fang Xiaoru went to the trouble alone, and took the blood of the whole Fang family to accompany the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen to the funeral.
Of course, there are many, many more punishments for rebellion, such as burying them alive, having their intestines drained, hanging them, and dismantling them in large pieces.
These punishments are all used on those who dare to rebel, and under such high pressure, it can be seen that rebellion is really the strategy of those who are really desperate.
It can also be seen how much the ancient Chinese emperors hated rebellion.
Jiang Yin originally only invaded one place in Cangzhou, and this kind of non-expansion rebellion had already touched Zhao Guangyi's nerves, and he suppressed bandits twice, using more than 100,000 troops before and after.
This kind of standard treatment, if it weren't for Jiang Yin's strange stones, if it weren't for the fact that he could throw the army into another time and space, then he would probably be the 'guest of honor' of the Great Song Dynasty now, and it is estimated that there are no more good pieces of meat in his body, and Zhao Guangyi is by no means a good person, and it will not be the turn of Jiang Yin to be a 'sinner' who dares to hype up his usurpation.
Jiang Yin once thought that if he really didn't have any abilities, once he was defeated and arrested, Zhao Guangyi was afraid that he would want to kill himself in Ling Chi, and then tell the world that the people of the world would see the fate of daring to resist the emperor.
This is a cruel era, if you don't have enough strength, Jiang Yin feels that she will definitely have a hard time.
Fortunately, Jiang Yin still has a strange stone, his biggest hole card, as long as this hole card cannot be cracked for a day, he can be invincible forever.
Obviously, an ancient person like Zhao Guangyi has no chance to crack Jiang Yinqishi's hole cards, as an ancient person in the tenth century AD, all he can do is to keep sending troops.
From Bianjing, Zhao Guangyi organized the last group of bandits, this time he was not so impulsive, planning for three months, Zhao Guangyi transferred nearly 150,000 horses from the ten states of the Great Song Dynasty, and then added 40,000 elite cavalry from Bianjing, constituting the strongest combat effectiveness of the Great Song Dynasty at present.
This time, Zhao Guangyi planned to drive the expedition in person, and after reaching a consensus with the Liao State, Liao Jingzong said to Zhao Guangyi that this was the internal contradiction of your own Song Dynasty, and the Liao State did not participate.
How could Zhao Guangyi not see that the Liao State planned to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but as an emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, there were rebels in his own territory, and if he couldn't calm the chaos for a day, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully for a day.
Since the expansion of the New Song Kingdom to the surrounding three prefectures and counties, Zhao Guangyi has often been awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, and he is worried that when he wakes up one day, he will hear the news that the soldiers of the New Song Dynasty are coming to the city.
'How can the couch on the side allow others to sleep soundly' is what Zhao Guangyi's elder brother Zhao Kuangyin once said, and now it has become a word that Zhao Guangyi often hangs on his lips.
Since the "New Great Song Daily" announced the founding of the New Song Dynasty to the entire Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi concentrated all the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty on preparing for war, although the New Song Dynasty is not strong, but it is very evil, and the two defeats almost left a shadow on Zhao Guangyi, so Zhao Guangyi intends to prepare to the time when it is complete and then launch an attack on the New Song Kingdom.
Because of Zhao Kuangyin's development in the previous sixteen years, the local people of the Great Song Dynasty still had some food in stock, and although the forced conscription was very hurtful, after Zhao Guangyi promised a large number of official positions and benefits, the opposition of the people slowly subsided, and everyone was waiting for the final showdown between the two countries.....
