After the war, the Empress Dowager Cixi signed many unequal treaties that humiliated the country, and the amount of compensation was 100 million silver, and the Qing government @ government passed on a large amount of military expenses and huge indemnities to the working people.

As a result of the trade between the five countries, foreign industrial products poured into China, and the high-quality and low-cost industrial products excluded China's traditional household sideline and handicraft industries, causing the peasants and handicraftsmen in the southeastern coastal areas to go bankrupt one after another and lose their livelihoods.

At the same time, the landlords intensified their exploitation of the peasants, land annexation became more serious, and the taxes paid by the Qing government increased year by year, overwhelming the peasants.

From 1840 to 1850, in Guangdong, Guangxi and many parts of China, floods, droughts, and locust plagues continued year after year, and the vast number of peasant families were ruined and fell into a desperate situation, and the peasants revolted and struggled as many as 110 times, especially in the Liangguang region, due to the direct impact of the Opium War, the social turmoil was more intense, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to launch a war to overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

In order to protect her own interests, the Empress Dowager Cixi colluded with the foreign invaders and the Qing government @ government to jointly suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which resolutely waged a heroic struggle against the invaders, successively inflicting heavy losses on the "Changsheng Army", "Chang'an Army", and "Changjie Army", and killed Wall, dealing a heavy blow to the invaders.

After the fall of Anqing, the Taiping army's base areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were also lost one after another, leaving only Tianjing and its surrounding small areas.

Li Xiucheng's proposal to "let the city not leave" and set up another base area was rejected by Hong Xiuquan. On June 1, 1864, Hong Xiuquan died of illness. On July 19, the Hunan army dug tunnels and bombarded the city walls with gunpowder, and after fierce street fighting, Tianjing fell.

Most of the soldiers of the Taiping Army died heroically, a few broke through the siege, and the young king and Hong Renji were captured in Jiangxi and died bravely. Li Xiucheng was captured during the siege of Tianjing and killed by Zeng Guofan, and the rest of the Taiping army moved to the north and south of the Great River, where they fought until 1868.

The Taiping army led by Xiuquan, because after the death of Hou Xiuquan, the dragons were leaderless, and the leaders used superstition to continue to wage wars.

The Empress Dowager Cixi and these people characterized the war as rebellion and rebellion, and it is easy to list a few points and classify them as a cult, because the peasant uprising of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom against the imperial court and the government is to oppose society and undermine social stability, and they will inevitably regard it as a cult, not only using razor to change the Xia, but also a tool for inciting "rebellion," and it belongs to an out-and-out "foreign cult."

In order to defeat the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Empress Dowager Cixi also entered the palace of superstition, believing that she could defeat these Taiping rebels with the help of a fox's skin.

Due to fox skin

A kind of wild fur raw material skin, the main varieties are red fox, west yellow fox, grass fox, blue fox, white fox, silver fox, etc., its back hair is red-brown or yellow, abdominal fur is white or yellow-white, the fox skin produced in northeast China is large, good quality.

The fur of the fox fur is fine and rich, flexible and smooth, the color is beautiful, the cold resistance is good, after making the fur can be made into a reverse coat, leather collar, fur hat, scarf, cloak, etc., for the top grade of the fur, the key is that the fox's skin can deter and whitewash the evil art of the Taiping Rebellion, and began to order the whole country to hunt and kill foxes.

The process of peeling the fox skin is very cruel, first hang the end of the fox's nose on a nail, put the hair facing inward on a smooth round wooden last, and scrape the oil from back to front with an oil scraper.

When scraping the oil, hold the knife steadily, use even force, sprinkle sawdust or rub your fingers while scraping, to prevent the grease from soaking the coat, in order to scrape the residual flesh, subcutaneous fat, and not damage the fur as the principle, the fat of the limbs, tail edge and head is difficult to scrape, and can be cut off with scissors

After scraping and trimming the leather board, it is necessary to use clean sawdust to repeatedly wash the grease and dirt until the skin is dry and does not stick to the sawdust, and then brush the sawdust on the leather board with a brush, and then turn it over and wash the plush surface again to remove the dust on the plush surface and make a good fox fur coat.

In order to get a large number of fox skins, the Qing government @ government forcibly implemented the national policy of hunting foxes, forming a national hunt for foxes, and the foxes that appeared in the mountains were hunted down and killed.

In the underground fox market, dozens of varieties in several iron cages, a large number of foxes shivering, parked in the slaughterhouse waiting to be slaughtered, tigers and lions in the area of weak foxes, showing people those bloody scenes of biting and eating meat, those people wielding sticks to beat foxes, and some people with violent attitudes stabbed pets in the eyes with sharp weapons, burning live pets, for fun.

In the slaughterhouse, those foxes that were caught, they were dragged into the slaughterhouse, the miserable sound of howling was really unbearable, and the cry of the slaughtered foxes was particularly desolate.

The slaughterhouse was full of oozing fox heads and their internal organs, buckets and buckets of fox blood, and slightly exuding heat, one by one the headless foxes, the corpses were in their own blood piles! There are also a couple of headless foxes, who are skinning on the shelves,

I walked through a bloody road full of fox heads and entrails, and walked to the front of the slaughterhouse, where there were twenty or thirty butchers, each with a one-foot-long sharp knife in their hands, and their feet working in the blood on the ground.

There are three or four people on the ground who are working together to skin a fox, some are cutting open the fox chest, some are digging up the internal organs, some are sawing the fox's ribs with a saw, and some are cutting the fox's neck with an axe!

I looked inside, and there were three live foxes, tears streaming from their eyes, and they stood there in a daze, watching their kind fall in a pool of blood.

Among them was a fox, whose legs were trembling incessantly, as if it was about to lose its footing, and that sad and panicked look was really the only time I have ever seen it in my life!

Soon someone came in and brought the fox to a more spacious place, and two or three butchers slowly lifted the fox's head together, and the other man pressed a large hammer into the fox from behind.

The hammer went down, and the fox fell to the ground, and the other man took a long sharp knife and stabbed it into the heart, and turned it in the fox's heart two or three times, and the blood immediately spurted out.

The butcher filled two or three barrels with a bucket! At this time, the fox's four feet were still twitching, his eyes were wide, and his mouth was whirring!

After a long time, those cruel scenes still appear in my dreams! Let me wake up in my dreams!

I often wonder what kind of foundation our human civilization is built on. Just to eat! How dare we inflict this cruel act of great inhumanity and injustice on those tame and defenseless friends, who claim to be civilized human beings!

Am I supposed to be honored? Or are you ashamed?

Those foxes that are slaughtered, the pain when they are slaughtered, even if you dig out all its internal organs, it still struggles and swims, just like when it is alive, even if you cut it into sections, it can still beat inch by inch!

Seeing this scene, my heart was like a knife, because these foxes were all captured by my fellow disciples and brothers from the Valley of the Witches, and although I survived, my life was exchanged for these foxes.

These foxes used to laugh and laugh with me when I was in the Witch Valley, and they treated me as family, but I watched my own family being sent to the slaughterhouse.

At that time, all the Taoist priests were not only forced to hunt and capture foxes, but also to eat fox meat, and the scene was also very bloody, and there was a rule of eating fox heads raw, otherwise they would be regarded as people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The so-called "eating fox brains raw" is to lock a lively fox in the center of a special dining table, so that its skull just exposes the tabletop, and the people around him come over with special tools, his trained movements, and sharp tools, very elegantly sawed the fox's skull slowly, poor fox under the convulsions, trembling, struggling.

A shiny high-grade glue head knocked lightly, the skull fell off, and the fresh fox brain immediately appeared in front of the diners' eyes, and those who were not in a hurry took out a special spoon one by one, and dug down the monkey brain, and the chatter and laughter of the diners came and went.

And the fox echoed them with the most terrible wail, its eyes rolled upward, its whole body twitched, and the whole table vibrated with vibrating, which touched the emotions of the diners even more, and the sound of spoons and praises came and went, the most vicious murder in the world.

You may think that the people who eat these things are so cruel, but what is the difference between our behavior and theirs? The difference is only that they are devouring and eating alive, and we first torture them to death through the hands of others, disembowel them, skin them and cramp them, cut off their livers and lungs, behead them and cut off their feet, bleed them and extract their marrow, divide them into corpses and pack them, and bring them to the table.

These dead bodies, who had been tortured by death, left the torture of the sword and the ding, entered our feast, and were buried in our stomachs very noblely! The one who eats satisfies his appetite, and he dies! It's really hard to get justice!

At that time, in order to make the foxes in the entire Witch Valley remember to hold a grudge against me, my master built a place to hold foxes in the Witch Valley, which was not an ordinary fox breeding, but a fox that regarded the fox as a live target, and the fox tied up on it was the purple fox who had been with me in the Witch Valley for more than a month, and had been treating me very well, and was also the sister of the nine-tailed fox.
