Chapter 55: Cross-Century Grievances II

In 1645 AD, under the leadership of Duoduo, the Qing soldiers divided their troops into Bozhou and Xuzhou, advanced to the south, and quickly occupied Xuzhou, Bozhou and Xuyi, and took advantage of the situation to go down to Huai'an, seize Sizhou, and cross the Huai River. On April 19, the Ming general Xu Dingguo led many Duo divisions to Yangzhou, which was heavily surrounded by the Qingshui army. On April 21, Li Qifeng, the general of the Ming Dynasty, and Gao Qifeng, the deputy envoy of the supervising army, pulled out the camp and surrendered, and the situation was more critical. Shi Kefa and others held out until April 25, but were finally broken by the Qing troops because they ran out of ammunition and food. Shi Kefa failed to kill himself and was captured. When Duoduo was lured to surrender, Shi Kefa said categorically: "The city survives and survives, and the city dies and dies." My head can be broken, but my state cannot be bent", and he was brutally killed. Under such circumstances, Shi Kefa's subordinates still led the rest of the troops to continue the fierce battle until the last drop of blood was shed. After the Qing army occupied Yangzhou, the soldiers slaughtered and plundered, and sealed the knife for ten days, which was known as "Yangzhou Ten Days" in history.

"Ten Diaries of Yangzhou" is a faithful recorder of this history, a testimony to the crime of the Qing Dynasty's massacre of the Wu-speaking population in Jiangbei, which forever nailed barbarism and crime to the pillar of shame in history. Let's look at the bloody scene in this land that has been slaughtered: "...... Walking through a ditch and a pool, piling up corpses and storing them, pillowing hands and feet, and blood entering the water and ochre. Turned into five colors. The pond is flat. to a house. Naiting Wei Yongyan Yao Gongju also, straight in from the back door, the house is deep, and there are corpses everywhere...... "The whole text takes the form of miscellaneous notes, and the author himself is also recorded in the pen, which is completely integrated with the historical events, and is somewhat similar to a notebook novel in style. At the time, it seemed like "news". All of them. It seems to be different from serious historiographical writings, and it is difficult to include them in the history of the world. In fact, the flexibility of this form does not affect the objectivity of the recorded facts, on the contrary, such inhumane killings, because they were witnessed by the author, add to their authenticity, reliability, and historicity. The whole text is like an eyewitness. It is precisely because of this that "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou" has become a "strange" in historical writings.

"Yangzhou Ten Diaries" Ming? Wang Xiuchu: On April 14, Jiyouxia, the governor Shi Kefa was lost from the Baiyang River. Staggered to Yangzhou and closed the city to defend against the enemy. The thought has not been broken for four days. In front of the forbidden gate, there are soldiers guarding each city, and the surname Yang will guard the west city. The officials are placed in chess, and the second pawn is given to the house, and the left and right houses are the same, trampling on everything, and the daily cost of supply is more than 1,000. If you don't continue, you have to conspire with the master, and you will be more respectful, and the reward will gradually be reconciled; The Lord rejoices, and the commandment goes a little farther away. The master likes the rhythm of music, is good at pipa, and thinks of famous prostitutes to entertain the army; On the eve of the day, invite to drink, full of indulgence, the town of Kudu to inch paper, the lord of the view of the color change, the city, to the crowd also dispersed.

The sooner he went, the governor of the town sent an edict to the words "there is one person in the house, and the people are not tired", and everyone who heard it wept. It was also rumored that the patrol army was a small victory, and everyone increased their quota. In the afternoon, a married family came from Guazhou to avoid Xingpingbo's deserters, [Xingpingbo Gaojie also, supervised the town, and went out of the city to avoid it. ] Say goodbye to the woman for a long time, and sigh when you see each other; And the words of the enemy soldiers entering the city have already been given by one or two. Yu hurriedly went out to inquire about everyone, or said: "Jingnan Hou Huang has meritorious reinforcements." "The defenders of the city are still strict and orderly, and then to the city, the people are violent, and the people with their hair and feet follow the dust, and they ask it, and they are anxious and panting, and they don't know what to do. Suddenly, dozens of horses rode from north to south, galloping like a wave, and one person in the middle supervised the town. Cover the outside of the east city, the soldiers forced the city to not get out, and wanted to run to the south pass, so from this. At that time, it was undoubtedly known that the enemy soldiers had entered the city. Suddenly, there is a ride from north to south, retreating slowly, wailing on the back, the two pawns in front of the horse are reluctant to give up, and they are still in their eyes, and they hate not to pass on their surnames. Riding a little farther, the defenders of the city have gone down, all abandon the skew, and there are broken heads and shins, looking back at the city oars have been empty!

First of all, the town was not allowed to display the city's narrow artillery equipment, and the battlements were set up with a board, the city path was placed in front, and the houses were connected to the back, so that there was surplus land and it could be settled. Before the work was completed, the enemy soldiers were in chaos with white blades, the soldiers and civilians defending the city crowded each other, and the road ahead was blocked, all rushed to the wooden planks placed there, crawling and pulling reinforcements, and the houses were reached, the new boards were not solid, the feet were tilted, the people were like fallen leaves, and the dead were nineteen; The people who are in the house, their feet are cracked, and they all make the sound of swords and halberds hitting each other, and they are like rain and hail carrying bullets, and the sonorous [golden sword] is endless, and the people in the house are full of horror, and they don't know what to do? The inside and outside of the hall are deep to the bed, all of them are guarding the city, and the soldiers and civilians are under the room, looking for the gap and hiding, the master can stop, the outer compartment is closed than the house, and the people are holding their breath.

In the city behind the hall, from the window gap, I saw that the soldiers on the city followed the south and west, the foot was strictly orderly, and the rain was also a lot of disorder, suspected of being a division of moderation, and the heart was a little fixed. Suddenly knocking on the door was urgent, then the neighbors made an appointment to welcome the king, set up a case to burn incense, and showed that they did not dare to resist. So he changed the color of the suit and led it, and it didn't come for a long time. If you return to the rear window to peep into the city, the team will be slightly sparse or stop; Russia saw that there were women who were mixed, and Kan Qi's clothes were all vulgar, which was shocking. The woman also said: "When the soldiers enter the city, if there is an accident, you should cut yourself." "The woman said no. Because he said: "There is a certain amount of gold to pay you in the past, and my generation does not want to be resurrected in the world!" "Weep and hand it over, and pay it as much as possible. The villagers on duty entered, and shouted urgently: "To the end, to the end!" "To tend out, look north to the number of horses are according to the reins of the Xu, meet the king of the master, that is, bow down and have a word. At that time, people were self-guarded and could not communicate with each other, so although they were not close at hand and did not hear a sound, they were a little closer, and they knew that they were asking for money from house to house. However, the meaning is not extravagant, a little gain, that is, ignorance, or there should be, although the knife to each other, not as good as people, after knowing that there are donations of ten thousand taels of sacrifice and death, Yang people guide also.

The second and to the frieze, a single ride pointed to the back of the call and said: "For me to ask for this blue cloth." "The rear rider dismounted, and Yu had flown away; After riding the horse, he abandoned Yu and got on the horse, and said to his heart: "I am a rough villager, why do you want to give it?" "It has been given to the younger brother, and the brother is also to the brother, because the accomplice said: "This house is rich on the left and right, and he will also be rich for me, what can I do?" "Then he hurriedly led his wife and others to the middle brother's house in the rain, and the middle brother's house was behind the grave of He's family. After staying alone, he watched the movement, and the Russian uncle suddenly said: "Zhongqu blood is splashed, why stay here?" Yu Bozhong lives and dies in one place. You don't hate. "Yu then worshiped the ancestor god and the uncle and brother to the middle brother's house. At that time, a brother and a brother. A sister-in-law and a nephew, a wife and a son, two aunts, and a brother-in-law, all of whom avoid the middle brother's family. As the day went dark, the sound of the enemy soldiers killing people had penetrated the door, and they took shelter for the time being; The rain was especially severe, and more than a dozen people hugged a felt. Hair is wet; The sound of grief outside the door was terrifying, and it was extended until the night was quiet, but he dared to pull the eaves and go down to the house, knocking on the fire to cook. The fire broke out all around the city, more than ten places near, countless people far away, the red light reflected each other like thunder and lightning, and the sound of divination was endless; I faintly heard the sound of the blow, and the mourning was intermittent and miserable. Rice cooked. You can't take care of each other, and you can't make a plan. Give the woman the gold in pieces. Divided into four, each brother hides one of them, and there are all in the bun and shoes; The woman also looked for a way to break the sloppy shoes, so she opened her eyes. It was night, and there were birds in the air like the sound of sheng springs, and like the sound of children crying, all of them were not far from the head of the people, and everyone heard it after inquiry.

For six days, the fire died down. The sky is getting brighter, and there are more than a dozen people in the ditch. Suddenly, the east chamber is a person with a side wall straight up, and a pawn holds a blade to follow, chasing like flying; When you see the public, you will run after what you are chasing. To be compelled, that is, to run down, brother to follow, brother to follow, walk more than 100 steps and then stop. Since then, he has lost his life and son, and he no longer knows his life and death. The soldiers are afraid that there are many people who are hiding, and everyone is not punished by the people to calm the people, and those who hide compete to follow it, and a total of fifty or sixty people are gathered, and the women are mixed, and the brother Yu said: "I have fallen four people, or I have encountered a fierce soldier, and I will not be able to avoid it; If you don't throw yourself into a large crowd, it is easy to avoid, that is, unfortunate, but also life and death, and do not hate. "When it is, everything is in chaos, and I don't know what is the best way to save lives? It is said that there is only one, and it is the same. The one who led this was also full of soldiers, and he searched for gold and silk, and all the brothers were exhausted, and he left it alone without searching; There is a caller among the women, and they regard it as the second concubine of Brother Zhu Shu, who is Yu You, and they are in a hurry. The two concubines both exude exposed flesh, and their feet are deep in the mud without shins, and one concubine still holds a daughter, whips and throws them into the mud, and then drives them away. One pawn raises the knife in the lead, one pawn chases back and forth, and the other pawn is in the center, or left or right to prevent escape. Dozens of people are like dogs and sheep, and if they don't move forward, they will be beaten or killed; The women wore long ropes around their necks, tired like beads, step by step, covered in mud; The ground is full of babies, or lined with horses' hooves, or by human feet, the liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and the crying is full of wilderness. Walking through a ditch and a pond, piling up corpses and accumulating them, pillowing hands and feet, blood entering the water and blue ochre, turning into five colors, and the pond is flat. To a house, Naiting Wei Yongyan Yao Gong Residence also, straight into the back door, the house is deep, there are corpses everywhere, and it means that this is where I died; It is the front house, and the street is restored to a house, which is the room of the Western businessman Qiao Chengwang, that is, the nest of the three pawns. Entry, there has been a pawn to detain a number of beautiful women in the simple inspection basket of colorful satin like a mountain, see the three pawns, big smile, that is, drive dozens of people to the back hall, leave the women in the side room; There are two square meters in the middle column, three dressmakers and one middle-aged woman making clothes; Women are promoted, with heavy makeup, fresh clothes and ornaments, and command and laugh. Glad to have a color, every time he encounters a good thing, he begs for it, and he is not ashamed; Hate the sword that cannot take away the pawn, and cut off this lewdness. The pawn said: "My generation conquered Goryeo, kidnapped tens of thousands of women, and none of them lost their integrity, how can China be so shameless?" "Woohoo, the reason why this China is in chaos is also.

The three pawns then ordered all the women to untie their wet clothes, from the surface to the inside, from the top to the heel, and made the women in the clothes short, the amount of width and narrowness, easy to fresh; Because of the coercion, the women turned naked to each other, revealing their privacy, and the shyness and desire to die are indescribable. After Yi Yi, he hugged him and drank and laughed; A pawn suddenly jumped up and shouted backwards: "Come, come, come!" "Recently, several people have been bound, and my uncle is here. Brother Zhong said: "The momentum has come to this, what can the husband say?" "Before holding on to the hand, the younger brother followed, and there were more than 50 men who were executed, and when they raised their knives, their souls had flown away, and no one did not reach the former; Yu went out of the hall with Brother Zhong, saw the killing outside, everyone was on standby, and Yu Chu thought was also willing to be bound, and suddenly his heart was moved if he had divine help, and he escaped and returned to the back hall, and more than 50 people did not know.

There are still old women in the west room of the back house of the hall, and they can't dodge, and they wear from the middle hall to the back room, and they can't go over the camels and horses; The more anxious the heart became, he leaned down on the belly of the camel horse, and crawled out of the belly of the camel horse; If you startle the camel and horse, you will become mud if you lift your foot slightly. There are several floors of the house, and there is no walking, but there is a back door next to it, and the door has been nailed for the pawn to lengthen the taper; Yu Fu from the back to the front, hearing the sound of murder in the front hall, the more frightened and helpless, looking back at the left side of the kitchen, the middle four people cover also by the ruler also, to ask for income, so that the battle of the fire of the staff, or can be spared. The four of them refused and said: "The four of me will also serve the others, so that if I increase the number of people by the next point, I will be suspected of deception, and disaster will affect me!" "To mourn, but to be more angry, to insist on going out, to give is out, the heart is anxious, there is a frame in front of the steps, there is an urn on the shelf, not far to the house, but to help the shelf, hand and urn. The body has been overwhelmed. The lid urn is empty and violent. Helpless. Still hurriedly approaching the side to get the door, the two-handed stick cone shook the Baidu, and finally could not move, hit the stone, then the sound reached the outer court, fear; As a last resort, he shook it with all his might, and his fingers were torn and bleeding, and his elbows were leaking. The cone flickered, tried to pull it out, the cone was already in hand, and the door was sharply opened [household and," and "under the "household", which means the door latch, the same below], [household and] hibiscus also, wet rain and rise, its astringency times that of the cone. It is very pressed, but it is hard to take [the household]. [Household and] can not go out and the door pivot suddenly folded, the door collapsed, the sound is like thunder, to shrug over and fly, and I don't know where the power comes from. Rush out of the back door, that is, the foot of the city. When the soldiers and cavalry were full, they were everywhere, and they couldn't move forward, that is, they entered the back door of the left neighbor of Qiao's house; Wherever there are people who can be avoided, they will not be tolerated, from the back to the front, and all the five advances are the same. Until the gate, it was close to the thoroughfare, and the soldiers came and went in an endless stream, and people thought that the place was dangerous and abandoned. Yu is in a hurry, get a couch, the couch has a top up, the cause of the pillar climbs, bend inward, wheezing squarely, suddenly hear the wailing of my brother on the wall, and hear the sound of raising a knife and slashing, where the three blows are silent. Shaojian heard that Brother Zhong pleaded and said: "I have gold in the cellar of my family, let me go, and I should take it." "One blow is silent; At this time, God has left the house, his heart is like burning anointing, his eyes are dry and there are no tears, his intestines are broken, and he is no longer autonomous. There is a pawn who coerces a woman to go straight in, and wants to stay on this couch, but the woman refuses, and then she can, and the woman says: "This place is close to the city, and it is not liveable." "If you take it back, you will inevitably give it away. The room has a back screen, to the seat for it, not over the people, but the edge of the beam can reach the beam, to hand two pull the beam on the truss and go up, the foot supports the camel beam, there is a seat under the cover, the black is like paint, there are still soldiers to, with the spear on the bark, know that it is empty, no one is on it, and the beginning has not met the soldiers; But under the bladed geometric man? Every time they rode in front of the street, dozens of men and women would wail after them. Although it was not raining, there was no sunshine, and I did not know the twilight. At the end of the day, the military cavalry was a little sparse, and only the voices of people were heard crying left and right, Brother Siwu had already injured half of him, and his uncle was not sure of his survival? I don't know where to give a wife and a child? If you want to trace it, you may see it; and make the place where his brother died. It is attached to the beam and slowly descends, tiptoe to the front street, and the pillow corpses in the street are interlocutory, and the sky is twilight, who is it? The corpses are all over the place, and there is no response. Seeing the first number of torches in the south, he avoided them and walked along with Guo. The corpses under the city are like scales, several feet, sound and touch, can not be caught off guard, then prostrate and walk with hands, every time there is a shock, that is, the ground is like a zombie, and it is through Qu for a long time. Qu before and after the fire in several places, shining like day, when the patrol is tired, and then cross, to reach the path, passers-by touch each other at night frightened, the road is less than a hundred steps, from the unitary to the side and the brother's house.

The door of the house was closed and did not dare to knock, and when I heard the voice of the woman, I knew that it was my sister-in-law, and I started to hit it lightly, and the person who answered the door was given to the woman. The uncle has returned first, and my wife and son are all there, crying with the uncle, but I still dare not tell the middle brother that the middle brother Ji was killed. The sister-in-law inquired and replied in accordance with the violation. How can a woman be exempted? The woman said: "The chase of the pawn is also, the son runs first, everyone follows, leaving me alone, I will not die if I hold Peng'er and throw myself into the house, and my sister will kick and hurt her feet." The two of us were taken to a room, and dozens of men and women in the room were bound up. The reason for the death told me to the women, 'Keep them, and let them go.'" 'The pawn came out with a sword, and another pawn entered, and robbed my sister; After a long time, he did not see the front and died, so he came out with the women. When he came out, he met Hong Fei and went to his hometown with him, so he was spared. "The middle brother of the Hong concubine is also a brother-in-law. The woman inquired and told the reason, and sighed for a long time. Hong Yu brought dinner to persuade her. Choked up. The fire broke out on all sides, twice as much as last night, and he was not at ease, sneaking out of the outdoors, and the corpses were stacked in the field, and the respite still existed; Seeing the grave of the He family from afar, the trees are gloomy, the crying sound is sounding, or the father calls the son, or the husband is looking for a wife, the sound of croaking, the grass and the stream, abound, and it is unbearable to hear. When she returned to her brother's house, the woman said: "Today's matter, there is only one death, please die first, and you will be tired of the child; Peng Er is here, the son is good for it! "The fruit of the woman is also in death, because the night is with the language, and it is not intermittent, and the East is white.

Read the seven days, ask the woman to take refuge, lead to the commission to a coffin, the ancient tile barren bricks, long no traces, to squat in the rotting grass, put Peng Er on the coffin, covered with reed mats, the woman lives in front, I Qu is attached to the back; Raise your head to show your top, spread your feet and see your heels, hold your breath and extinguish your breath, restrain your hands and feet as a wrap, the soul is less fixed and the sound of killing is coming, the knife ring rings, the cry is chaotic, and the people who beg for their lives in unison or dozens or more than a hundred people; In the event of a death, no matter how many or few people in the south, they all bowed their heads and bowed, leading their necks to be stabbed, and none of them dared to escape; As for the children, they are crying and screaming, not to mention it! At noon on the sun, the more the killing and plundering, the more corpses accumulated, the ears smelled badly, the eyes could not bear to see, the woman regretted the night of the past, and mistakenly said that she was not dead. However, fortunately, to get the evening, to wait for the patrol to come out, Peng Er lying on the coffin, from morning to dusk, not crying, not eating, or thirsty to drink, take a piece of tile ditch moisturizing, a little startled but still sleep, until the wake up, hug and go; Hong Fei also came, knowing that my sister-in-law was robbed again, and my nephew was lost in swaddling clothes, woohoo and painful! In just three days, the brother and sister-in-law and nephew have died, and the fourth is the widow. To the uncle and the four ears of the wife and son! Phase and looking for the remaining rice. Cannot. So he and his uncle endured hunger. It was the night that the woman was killed several times, and Lai Hongyu was spared.

On the eighth day, Brother Yu said: "Who is not sure who will survive today?" My brother is fortunate to be safe, and he begs Peng Er to protect his breath. My brother wept and comforted, so he said goodbye and fled elsewhere. Hong Yu said to the woman: "I hid in the broken cabinet yesterday, and I stuck to it all day long, and I should avoid it with my son." "The woman is not wanted. Still hiding behind the coffin. Not a few, a few pawns entered, broke the cabinet and robbed the concubine, hammered a hundred ends, the pawn did not confess a person, and gave it to the virtue, and the middle brother produced a hundred gold, and gave the rest of the dozens of gold, and paid Hong Fei, feeling this also. Little. The soldiers came in abundance, and those who took refuge came one after another. However, as soon as he arrived at the back of the house, he saw the coffin and left. Suddenly, there are more than a dozen soldiers to drink, its momentum is very fierce, Russia saw a person to the front of the coffin, with a long rod to give the foot, to surprise out, is the Yang people for the other country guide, the face is familiar and forget its surname, to beg for mercy, Pi Suo gold, grant gold, is to release, still said: "Cheap women also." The servants said, "The aunt is." "The soldiers are scattered. Frightened, suddenly a young man in red mixed with a long blade went straight to the place, shouted and asked, out, raised his front to each other, offered gold, and reclaimed to the woman, the woman was pregnant for nine months, and she could not afford to die. Yu Xuanzhi said: "The woman has been pregnant for many months, and yesterday she fell from the house, and the cause of the pregnancy is so bad, you can't sit down, can you get up?" "The man in red didn't believe it, because he looked at it and tested it with the blood pants that were painted first, so he ignored it. A young woman, a young girl, and a child were taken captive, and the child called for food from his mother, and with a blow of anger, his brain was split and he died, and the woman and the girl were taken hostage.

It is said that the people in this place are familiar and cannot survive, so it should be easy to be in it; And the woman insisted on committing suicide, and Yu was also forced to have no owner, so the two of them came out and hanged themselves in Liang; Suddenly, the two ropes were broken for a while, and he fell to the ground. Before he got up, the soldiers were full of doors, and they went straight to the hall, and they didn't have time to cross the two corridors. Yu and the woman rushed to the door, fled to a grass house, learned the women in the village, left the woman but giving, to rush to the south of the grass house, the grass piled up even the house, to climb its upside down, bow down and hide, and then cover it with messy grass, thinking that there is no trouble. When he arrived, he jumped up, struck him with a spear, and begged from the grass to give back gold; In the grass, several people were obtained, and they were all spared. After the pawn is gone, several people re-enter the grass, give a peek into it, put a few large square tables, the periphery is grass, which is outlined but empty, can accommodate twenty or thirty people. Yu Qiang rushed in, claiming to have a plan, not intending to lose a hole from half of the waist suddenly collapsed, inside and outside the hole, has been glimpsed by his pawn, but from the outside of the hole with a spear straight stab; When the former is all injured, the back is also injured. So the one who was near the hole came out of his knees through the gap, and he was bound by a pawn, and the latter came out of the grass upside down.

To return to the women's house, the women and all the women are lying down and accumulating wages, with blood paste, decorated with coal, the finish is like a ghost, and the identification is sound. To the beggar women, get into the grass, the women hug it, to close the breath and dare not move, a few suffocation, the woman is awarded with a bamboo tube, the mouth is at the end, out of the end of it, the gas is reached, and it is not dead. There is a pawn outdoors, and when the hand kills two people, it is very strange, and the pen can't carry it. All the women on the grass trembled, and suddenly the mourning was loud, and the pawn had entered the room, and strode out again, without turning around. The sky is also gradually twilight, and the women rise, and they begin to come out of the grass, sweating like rain. At the end of the day, the same woman went to the Hong house, the old Hong concubine was there, the uncle also came, the cloud was robbed and burdened on the day, and the reward was a thousand dollars, and the flag was still returned; On the way, there were mountains of corpses, blood flowed into canals, and it was difficult to describe them all. I heard again that there is a Wang surnamed Jiang who lives in Zhaoyang Li Mansion in Benfang, and gives tens of thousands of dollars to refugees, and his party kills people, often discouraged, and many live in many places. It was the night of sorrow, and I fell asleep. The next day, it is recited nine.

Since the fifth day of reading, it has been five days so far, or can hope to be pardoned, but they have spread the saying that the city is washed, and most of the people in the city who are ruined and killed in the city, and the old official ditch can not be passed, so that it is like a smooth road, and the night and day are lurking, so as to reverse its front. Outside the city, all the outlaws in the city are cross-examined, and they go into the official ditch at night to cross-examine them, searching for their gold and silver, and no one dares to do anything. Yu and other thoughts can not escape from the danger, and the uncle can't bear to go alone because of Yu; postponed to Pingdan, and its thoughts stopped; The original shelter knew that it could not be kept, and the woman was repeatedly obtained by pregnancy, so she hid in the deep grass by the pond, and the woman and Peng Er were wrapped on it, and there were several deaths, and they were all less bribes for the robbers. After a ruthless pawn, the head of the rat and the eagle eyes, his appearance is very evil, and he wants to rob the woman; The woman did not listen to what she had told her, but forced her to stand up, and she spun the ground, refusing to get up, and the pawn raised the back of her sword and beat her indiscriminately, and her clothes were splashed with blood, and the inside and outside were stained. First, the woman gave a precept and said: "If I encounter misfortune, I will die, and I cannot beg for mourning and be tired of my children; If I die, I will die, and my son will die. "So far away from the grass, if it is not with the person, it is also said that the woman is about to die, and the pawn is still reluctant, repeatedly pushing the woman to the arm for several weeks, and angrily swaying away. From Tian Mo to the deep alley, one arrow away, ring to go out of the street, and the number of lines must be struck. Suddenly, the crowd rode to it, and one of them spoke one or two with the manchu, so he gave up to the woman. He had to crawl back and cry a lot. There is no end to it!

Suddenly, there was another fire. There are many grass houses before and after the tomb of the He family. If it burns, it will immediately turn into ashes; There are inches of soil, and those who miss the net are forced by the fire, and they all rush out, and they will be killed when they come out, and they will inevitably be one. The number of self-immolators in closed homes ranges from a few to hundreds, and in one room, I don't know how many bones are accumulating! There is nowhere to avoid it. It cannot be avoided, avoided or committed, and there is no gold to die, and there is gold to die; However, when they are exposed to the side of the road, or mixed with the corpses, life and death are unknown. After Yu Yin and the woman and the child went to the grave, the mud head was smeared on the feet, and there was no human figure. The fire became more and more intense, and the tombs were burned, and the light was like electricity. The sound is like a mountain, and the wind is angry. It's silent, the red sun is bleak, and there is no light for it, and at present, it is like seeing countless Yaksha ghost mothers driving away thousands of hellish people and chasing them. In addition to the palpitations, he was dizzy from time to time, and Gai no longer knew that this body was in the world.

Suddenly heard the sound of the foot, screamed and shocked, looking back at the wall, then to the uncle was recaptured, saw the brother and the pawn holding each other, the brother was strong, and got rid of it, the pawn walked out of the alley, and did not arrive for a long time; Yu Fang shook his heart, but before he suddenly walked away, his naked body was scattered. If you look at it, then the uncle is also; And the one who chased the uncle's pawn, that is, the former robbed my wife and gave up halfway. Because the uncle was forced by the pawn, he had to ask for money to save his life, and only one ingot was left, and he was out to sacrifice the pawn, and the pawn was angry, and he raised a knife to hit the brother, and the brother tossed and turned on the ground, stained with sand and blood, and injected a hundred steps. Peng Er's clothes wept and begged for forgiveness, [at the age of five] died with a child's clothes to wipe the blood of the knife and hit the brother again, and his brother was about to die. Twist and pull to send the gold, the back of the knife is not stopped, and the gold is exhausted, saying: "If you want gold, you are willing to die, and other things can be." "The pawn was sent to the Hong house. Put the woman's clothes and ornaments in two urns, invert the steps, and give them all for them to take, all the gold beads and the like, and the clothes are good. After finishing, there was a silver lock under Shi'er, cut off the knife, and when he went, Gu Yu said: "I don't kill you, someone else will kill you." "Knowing that the word about washing the city is true, it is expected to die. Placed in the house, the same woman rushed out of the provincial brother, the front and back items were cut, deep into the inch, the chest was more intense, and the cave of Qizhi was in the house; The two of them were helped to the Hong house, and when they asked, they didn't know the pain, and their spirits flickered. After the settlement was completed, the couple returned to their hometown to hide, and the neighbors were lying in the crowd of corpses, and suddenly made a human voice from the corpses: "Tomorrow to wash the city, you will be killed, and you should abandon your woman and go with me." "The woman also persuades Yu Xing, but Uncle Yu Nian is dying, how can he bear to give up? And there is still a surplus of gold in the past, but now the gold is exhausted, and it is expected to be unable to give birth, and it is painful and exhaustive, and it is a long time.

The fire is also gradually extinguished, the sound of cannons is heard in the distance, the soldiers are gradually decreasing, and the woman Peng Er sits in the dung cellar, and Hong Fei also comes to rely on each other. There were several guards who took four or five women captive, the two old men wept, and the two young ones laughed freely; After there are two pawns to catch up with the woman, fight each other, one of the inner pawns persuade to make Manchu, suddenly a pawn will carry the young woman to the tree under the wild together, the remaining two women are also dirty, the old woman cried and begged for forgiveness, the two young women Tian is not ashamed, dozens of people are adulterous with each other, still handed over to the second pawn who chased them, and one of the young women has been unable to get up. Knowing that she is Jiao's daughter-in-law, what her family does on weekdays should be this, and she sighed in horror.

Suddenly, I saw a person in red clothes and a sword, full of hats and soap boots, less than thirty years old, handsome and cool, with a retinue, wearing yellow back armor, and looking burly, and there were several southerners who followed with weight. The man in red looked at Yu familiarly, pointed and asked: "Shiyu, if you are not a junior, what kind of person is the truth?" "When I read it, there are those who have been fulfilled by taking big measures, and there are also those who have been killed by taking big measures, and they dare not tell the truth, and the people in red will laugh at the people in yellow and say: "Do you obey?" I know that this barbarian is very much waiting for people. "Who is it to refer to Hong Fei and ask him? Gu told him, and the man in red said: "Tomorrow, the prince will order the knife to be sealed, and you will have to live!" Don't kill yourself. He ordered to pay for a few pieces of clothing and a gold ingot, and asked, "How many days will you not eat?" After five days, he said, "Come with me." "To the woman and doubtful, but dare not not do not, go to a house, although the room is small but the livestock are very rich, fish and rice are full, an old woman, a son Fang is twelve or thirteen years old, see the crowd, shocked, wailing to touch the ground. The man in red said, "Give you a loan, and you will treat these four people for me, otherwise you will kill you, and your son should pay me." So he took his son and left with him.

The old woman's surname Zheng is also suspected of being related to the person in red, and because of the fallacy, she said that the son will return. It's dusk, and my brother-in-law is robbed by a pawn, and I don't know if I'm going to survive? The woman was very hurt. After a while, the old woman brought out the fish and rice; The house is not far from Hongju, to take fish and food for my brother, my brother's throat can't swallow, a few chopsticks to stop, to wipe the hair and wash the blood for the brother, the heart is like a thousand pounds! On that day, the words of the red clothes were told to those who had not left the city, and the hearts of the people began to settle a little. The next day was the New Day of May, and although the momentum decreased slightly, it did not fail to kill or plunder; and the poor or the little peace; The rich family has a large family and has a lot of money, and the children from the age of six or seven to more than ten years old have looted all the seeds. On that day, the Xingping soldiers re-entered Yangcheng, and half a mile of silk entered the tiger's mouth, combing the front and back grate, and there was a good thing.

On the second day of the first month, the government of Daozhou County has placed officials, and the people are all over the people. Don't be afraid. He also instructed the monks of the monasteries to incinerate the corpses; There are also many women hiding in monasteries. There were also people who died of starvation. The number of corpses found in the book of incineration amounted to about 800,000 people, and those who fell into wells and threw themselves into rivers, closed their homes and set themselves on fire, and went deep into the self-hanging. On that day, burn cotton ash and human bones to heal his brother's wounds; At the end of the day, he cried to his brother about the death of his middle brother and his brother, and his brother was just a brother.

The third day of the first month. Show the relief, and take the Hongyu to the gap to receive the rice; Rice is the military grain stored in the town, like hills, thousands of stones are empty in an instant. The bearers of it were all anxious, with broken arms and shins, knife marks all over the body, blood stains, faces like candles and tears, broken quail clothes, and filthy noses. A man holds a staff and a pouch. Like the ghost in the temple; A little observable is still a beggar in Beitianyuan. On the occasion of the rice, although the relatives know each other, the strong go back and forth, and the weak are not allowed to fight.

On the fourth day of the first month, the sky began to rise, and the corpses on the road swelled through the rain, and the green skin was like a drum, and the flesh and blood collapsed. The filth and smell are pressing, the remenstrual period is burning, the more its gas is worse, before and after, left and right, burning everywhere, the room is dense, forming like a fog, and the smell is fishy. Cover this million living beings, once they die, although the heavens and the earth are ghosts and gods, they can't help but be miserable!

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the secluded people began to quietly come out, and every time they met, they could not say a word under their tears. Although the five people were slightly sued, they did not dare to live in the house, and they got up in the morning and ate early, that is, they came from the wild side, and their makeup was the same as the day before; Those who cover and fetch food are not less than dozens of generations a day, although they do not fight, but they are very intimidating, defrauding people and property, and every person who is killed by the cane; When I met a woman, I still wantonly robbed her, and I didn't know that it was a Qing soldier, a town soldier, and a chaotic people? On that day, my uncle died of serious injuries and sore bursts, and the pain was unspeakable! When Yi Yu was first martyred, there were eight brothers, sisters-in-law, nieces and sons, and now only three remain, and their aunts and sisters are no longer discussed. How many people do you know if you give the house water? The number of them are on the verge of death, but they are fortunate to die but not die, and there are very few women who are given to them, but they are all sorrowful!

From April 25 to May 5, a total of 10 days, during which they were all witnessed and seen. The people of the future are fortunate to live in a peaceful world and enjoy the joy of nothing; Those who do not self-study and are blindly violent should be shocked when they read this!

According to the vernacular translation as "Yangzhou Ten Diaries" Ming? Wang Xiuchu: On April 14, 1645, the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Shi Kefa, the governor (official name), lost from the Baiyang River and retreated to Yangzhou in a hurry. The Manchurian army then arrived, and on April 24 began to storm the city with artillery, but did not breach the city that day. At this time, the city of Yangzhou was heavily guarded, and each gate was guarded by soldiers.

My family lives in Xicheng, which belongs to the area under the jurisdiction of a general surnamed Yang, and his officials and soldiers are scattered everywhere. There are soldiers living in the neighborhood, and there are two soldiers living in my house. But these soldiers live in other people's homes without any rules, trampling on all kinds of scourges, and I have to provide them with thousands of coins every day. After a long time, I gradually felt that it was unsustainable, so I had to discuss with my neighbors and invite their Yang generals to have a wine and dinner together.

During the banquet, I forced myself to be respectful and constantly flattered this Yang general, and finally won the favor. The effect of this meal was good, and General Yang instructed the soldiers to stay away from here and stop making trouble. General Yang seemed to be very fond of the entertainment of sound and sensuality, and could play the pipa, and told us that he would like to find a high-end Yangzhou prostitute, preferably a local famous prostitute, so that he could rest and entertain himself in his leisure time for military affairs.

Because of the good drinking, he invited me back to drink with him that evening. Originally, he was bent on indulging in joy for a night, but suddenly a note from Shi Kefa of the town was passed to the banquet, and General Yang opened it to take a look, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly got up and went to the city, and we all had to disperse. On the morning of the 25th of the next day, a notice was issued from Shi Kefa, the governor of the town, which contained the words "This time to defend the city, I will take care of everything alone, and it will not affect the people", and everyone who heard it was relieved and grateful. At this time, the news of the small victory of the patrolling Ming army over the enemy army came, and everyone smiled and congratulated each other. In the afternoon, one of my mother's family members fled from Guazhou to Yangzhou to join my family because of the rebellion of Xingping Bo (Ming General Soldier) Gao Jie, who fled to my home, (Xingping Bo Gao Jie defected to the enemy and rebelled, Shi Kefa Zhang Bang wanted him, so he fled from Yangzhou) reunited after a long time in the troubled times, and I couldn't help but sigh when I saw my wife (my wife was nine months pregnant at the time).

At this time, there were rumors that the enemy soldiers had entered the city, and one or two people had come to tell me about it. I hurried outside to inquire about the news, and I heard someone say: "It is not the enemy army that has entered the city, but the reinforcements of Huang Degong (Huang Fei), the Marquis of Jingnan, have arrived." (At this time, the Qing army was pretending to be the banner of Huang Fei's reinforcements to deceive the city gate and attack Yangzhou, and Shi Kefa was gullible and fooled)" (To be continued......)
