Chapter 281: Ambush

Since the beginning of winter, the weather in Nanjing has been good, get up in the morning, the house is beautiful, the leaves, the street are covered with a layer of hoarfrost, the sun has no heat, and when the frost is all melted, he also began to sink westward, although there is no wind, but the air blowing from the river is cold, so that people can feel the cold of winter.

As autumn turned to winter, as the weather turned colder, as the trial of 10,486 Manchu magnates and Han annihilation by the Nanjing Special Military Court deepened, and the testimony of witnesses one by one, as the trial came to an end, "news began to appear in various places to prepare for a referendum" in the newspapers. Everyone understands that the new dynasty may be going to take these people to sacrifice their flags.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on December 1, 4602, amid the sound of military music, the auditors and more than 100 domestic and foreign journalists entered the courtroom.

As soon as the military music ended, Wu Tingfang, as the first official, stood up and announced.

“…… The Nanjing Special Military Court arrested the suspects in accordance with the law, and 463 of them were directly pre-tried and prosecuted by the Nanjing Special Military Court,...... According to the verdict and security report of the military courts in various places to the General Staff of the Liberation Army, 3,564 of the 10,486 people were sentenced to death and 6,158 were sentenced to life imprisonment...... According to the investigation of the special military court, the number of people slaughtered during the Manchu rebellion was determined to be more than 58,647,500, and during the 260 years of colonial enslavement, more than 8 million people died under the butcher's knife for resisting foreign slavery or literary prison. Here, the Special Military Court would like to remind you that without being confirmed, according to the information of the household department in the late Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China's actual population has decreased by more than 300 million, of which 250 million people cannot be verified due to their age...... But that doesn't mean the Manchus didn't have to take responsibility for it......"

As he spoke, the entire courtroom fell silent, and a sense of sadness permeated the courtroom, since the beginning of the trial at the special military court, since the Manchu rebellion, one forgotten atrocity after another has been made public, and the situation of "no one without blood debts, no one without robbery" has been suffered by that people.

At this time, Wu Tingfang raised his voice.

"In the face of such an exterminating people, and we, the magnanimous Chinese, only judged that there will be execution, a total of 3,564 people, we are too tolerant! Journalists and gentlemen from all over the world, do you think so? ”

"Yes! Be! Kill them! Kill them all......"

The agitated reporters shouted loudly, even the foreign journalists who had initially opposed the execution of Cixi, who were also stunned by the unprecedented atrocities, until a month after the trial, when hundreds of millions of people were slaughtered and a nation was almost wiped out, they finally understood why "the land of China has been completely naked!" The land was completely stained red with the blood of the Chinese.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was silent, and in the prison of the Nanjing Special Military Court, only the footsteps of the sentries and the guards on duty echoed in the empty corridors of the prison. The prison was extremely busy, and the soldiers were busy preparing ropes, signs, and the like. The prisoners were also gathered and bathed from cell to cell.

For male prisoners, this may not be anything, but for Cixi and other female prisoners, since the day they were arrested, they have not taken a bath for a long time, and today's rare bath makes them temporarily forget the horror of being sentenced tomorrow and enjoy the pleasure of bathing. The female prisoners were carefully washed, and they were all washed white and clean, revealing the delicacy of the female surname.

It's just that Cixi, as the first offender, didn't have the mind, in the morning when she was tried for death and executed immediately, her whole person collapsed, she shouted, scolded, the former Lafayette no longer exists, even in her cronies and ministers, when they came forward to testify, she even maintained her "face", but in the face of death, there was only a madwoman's scream, she shouted that the person who tried her was a rebel and wanted to punish their nine clans.

"Why...... Why didn't you even let me go? ”

Cixi shook her head there, she thought at first that in the face of pressure from various countries, as long as she behaved tamely, in the end, Chen Shun would let herself go in order to show her generosity, but he didn't! Not only did he have them executed, but all the bannermen were thrown into prisoner of war camps.

At this time, she was awakened by the shrill whistle, and the female prison guard shouted for the prisoners to come out.

As soon as they walked out of the porch, the prison guards who had been waiting for a long time tied them up with bean ropes, and the corridors were full of prison guards' orders.

"Bow your head, bend over, inhale, relax ......"

and the groans and wheezing of the prisoners.

According to the order of the warden, the prison guards were very ruthless, tying the prisoners tightly, and the bare arms that had never worked hard and looked a little white were wrapped around many more rope loops than the usual ones, and the ropes were deep into their skin like scyms. Some of them can only see the edges of flesh, but they can't see the ropes, and the hemp ropes on their backs are crisscrossed and crisscrossed, like hemp balls.

The prisoners were all tied up and panting, their faces were pale, and cold sweat broke out. But the prison guards didn't care about this, and escorted the bound prisoners to the downstairs hall in groups of two, and let them wait for escort.

As the first offender, Cixi knew that today was her limit, and when the other prisoners were escorted away, the prison guard brought her a sumptuous dinner, and an officer told her.

"Eat, this is your last meal, and your death sentence will be executed in the afternoon, so you can ask for anything."

At this time, Cixi was speechless and shed tears, choking and crying, scolding that she was harmed by the annihilators and couldn't eat anything. Finally, in the face of the officer's shouting, Kuang and Kuang dragged the heavy iron shackles to the table, endured her grief, and barely ate a few mouthfuls of bread, but she couldn't swallow it, and finally washed it down with a few mouthfuls of milk, and she couldn't eat anymore, she asked the policewoman for a cigarette and smoked it.

Finally, the prison guards brought a basin of water, soap, and a comb, and several prison guards came up to remove the heavy shackles from her, and she suddenly felt much more relaxed. , she felt a little more energetic. quickly washed her face and combed her hair, although she had never combed her hair since she entered the palace as Xianfeng's concubine, but this would require her to groom and dress up by herself.

"You have to die to look better!"

After she had freshened up, the officer said to the guards.

"Let's get started."

Two strong guards walked over, grabbed her arm, and pressed her head down deeply, while the squad leader and the other guards watched silently as the guards worked. At this time, a prison guard hurriedly walked in and whispered to the team leader.

"The warden said that the car escorting the prisoners has arrived, why is it not over here? Ask for a little quicker. The rest of the prisoners are ready. ”

The captain anxiously said to the prison guards, "Move faster." ”

Then he said to the guard,

"Tell the warden that I have a lot of procedures here, and it will be right away."

At the foot of the Nanjing Shogunate Mountain, is the execution ground, at this time on the execution ground hundreds of thousands of people around the execution, the execution has begun an afternoon, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the past is different from the execution, now the execution of the pistol, the pistol is also not the standard pistol of the Liberation Army, but the Manchu Qing purchased all kinds of miscellaneous pistols, this is to save costs.

After the bound prisoners raised their heads upward, their necks slightly straightened, their arms hung high behind their backs like butterfly wings, and their legs turned slightly outward, a row of ten prisoners was escorted from the carriage to the execution site, where ten soldiers walked up behind them, raised their pistols, aimed them at the back of the head, and opened fire at the order of the firing captain.

The whole process, neat and clean, shooting, examining, dragging the corpses onto the wagon, and another batch of ...... The execution lasted for an afternoon, and finally when it was slightly dark, a prisoner car protected by more than a dozen cars drove to the execution site, and everyone turned their attention to this prisoner car, and the finale came!

At this moment, there was silence on the execution ground, people watched the bound Yehnara clan being danced out of the prison car, watched this old witch who had brought disaster to the country and the people to the execution place full of blood, smelling the smell of blood in the air, Cixi's feet trembled, and every step she took was dragged forward by the soldiers who supported her, to the place where blood stained red.

"Kill her! Kill her! Kill her! ”

Amid the angry shouts of the crowd and the flames of magnesium light, a soldier with a Colt revolver in his hand walked to the designated position with a gun.

After the firing captain handed him a bullet, he did not directly load it into the chamber, but bent down and grinded it on the stone several times to reveal the lead core before loading the bullet into the wheel.

The firing captain raised the starting flag, and the warrior standing only an arm's length behind Cixi quickly raised his gun, aiming the pistol in his right hand at her head, and at this time he could see that the old witch's skirt was wet.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me......"

When the firing captain waved the starting flag downwards with all his might, the shots rang out. With the tremor of the gunshot, Yehenara's head was pierced by a bullet, and half of her head was shattered when her body shook. Brains and blood gushed out, and the hot air burst out of the brains came into contact with the cold air, immediately forming a white mist, and the body fell headlong in front of it.

Blood and brains splattered on the face of the executioner, he wiped it, and then looked at the corpse with satisfaction that had been shattered by the bullet and half of his head, and hit the point accurately, Yehenara was already dead, and there was no need to refill the gun.

The forensic doctor, armed with examination tools, first examined the part of Yehenara's head that had been shot in the back of her head, and then turned her body over and turned her back to the sky, examined the bullet holes on the door of her head, and placed scale markers next to the bullet holes and bullet holes, and the relevant personnel took photos for the record.

At this point, the execution of Cixi was completely completed, and the last Manchu criminal was executed.

In the end, several fighters who had been waiting for a long time skillfully put her body into a long white cloth bag, tied it with a mouth, and threw it into the car like a dead pig.

The car drove away with white exhaust fumes, and after the people dispersed, the boiling Shogunate Mountain finally fell silent.

And history will remember this day, December 1, 4602!
