The execution ground on the shore of Kunming Lake is crowded with people.

The weather was very sunny, and although it was already winter, the temperature was still mild, and people did not feel the presence of the cold.

A tent was erected temporarily.

There were several civil and military generals sitting in the shed, the first of which was Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo and the chief soldier of Yunnan, who was today's supervisor and beheader.

Mu Tianbo was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, wearing a red cloak, squatting there with a majestic face.

Next to him was Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, dressed in a red official uniform and wearing a black goose-winged black veil. Then there was another general, it was Yang Weizhi, the deputy envoy of Yunnan, with iron helmet and iron armor, and he was majestic.

Then there were the two deputy commanders in the army, also covered in armor.

Five people sat down in the shed, full of majesty.

The thousands of soldiers and generals who protected the execution ground were full of armor and swords and guns, and the common people stood on the periphery, pointing and talking about it.

Near the execution site, there were 2,000 Ming soldiers with shovels and pickaxes, digging pits.

This big pit has the size of ten acres, there are also a lot of people here to watch, now this pit has been dug more than one person deep, this big pit is dug today is already the second day, and now it is the finishing stage.

The common people have already guessed that after beheading, these 3,000 people will be buried here, which is a mass grave.

It's noon, and everything is ready.

At this time, Mu Tianbo and Wu Zhaoyuan bit their ears. Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, gave an order, "Bring criminals!"

A military general agreed and passed the military order down.

Due to the large number of prisoners and the limited space, 10 batches were divided.

Soon the first batch of executed war criminals pressed up, this is 300 people, long lined up in three platoons, three generals detained one, let the criminals kneel on the ground, two soldiers pressed, the other soldier held the ghost head knife, standing behind him and responsible for cutting off the head.

The captives were stunned on the spot when they saw this formation, because they knew that such a formation was definitely not intended to frighten them.

At this time, Wu Zhaoyuan read out Chongzhen's will loudly, and the people and generals present listened quietly, and they could hear the pillow on the spot.

After reading out, Wu Zhaoyuan shouted, "The time has come, cut!"

The 300 soldiers raised the ghost-headed broadsword in their hands high, and then fell downward, the timid too frightened to look directly, some turned their faces away, and some covered their eyes.

The knife flashed, clicked, clicked......, clicked,

Almost at the same time, the first batch of 300 prisoners of war all fell to the ground.

Suddenly, the bones of the head were all over the ground, and blood splattered and stained red

Then a soldier came and picked up the heads as fast as they could, pulled the bodies out, and dragged them into the mass grave outside.

At this time, the 2nd group of 300 captives executed in the north were brought up.

These 300 captives have already been coaxed, they surrendered on the battlefield as prisoners just to save their lives, but they didn't expect to be beheaded now.

Before, they were still thinking about good things in their hearts, and they dreamed of being able to continue to eat food for the Ming Dynasty and serve as soldiers, but when things didn't go well, they even thought about rebelling again.

Because the reputation of the King of Chongzhen and Benevolence has spread, thousands of captives are not guilty of the past, and they have been collectively co-opted.

But I didn't expect that now that the dream was shattered, the imperial court would want to execute them collectively, I knew that this was the case, it was better to die in battle.

Many people regret it, regretting that they shouldn't have followed Wu Sangui to toss blindly, but in the end, it turned out to be such a result.

At the end of the day, some people are still afraid of death.

At this time, one of the captives cried and begged for mercy, and he took the lead and the other captives also responded, all of them weeping bitterly, and immediately there was a burst of crying.

As long as the Emperor of Daming can spare them, they are willing to be cattle and horses for Daming, and they will no longer dare to be female offenders, and the next eight generations will not dare to rebel......

Mu Tianbo, Wu Zhaoyuan, Yang Weizhi and others, the faces of these officials in the shed were as cold as iron, and they sneered: "Now I know that I'm afraid, it's too late!"

Mu Tianbo passed down an order, gagged all their mouths, and then continued the execution.

The captives were full of remorse, mainly fear,

Some of their legs and feet were no longer obedient, and they were dragged to the execution ground.

These people can be soldiers, they can fight on the battlefield, and they can not be afraid of death. But now this kind of occasion is different, and the sense of horror caused to people is extremely great, and it is not something that ordinary people can bear.

In particular, the execution of prisoners in batches, the collective beheading, and the next round in batches, finally came to their heads, causing the psychological defense of these prisoners to collapse in an instant.

In less than half an hour, 3,000 captives were executed, and all of them were beheaded, without exception.

The execution ground was full of heads and rivers of blood.

The huge execution ground was silent, and several ordinary people who claimed to be brave were frightened and fainted on the spot.

This kind of deterrent effect is not only effective for the common people, but also for these soldiers who are executed and these soldiers and generals on duty on the scene, the deterrent effect is unimaginable.

Especially those prisoners of the Great Western Army who surrendered to the imperial court and were recruited, they felt lucky and afraid at the same time.

Rebellion, second opposition to the imperial court, these words were erased forever in their hearts.

Now they realize that Emperor Wu of the Great Ming Dynasty is an elusive person.

Sometimes there is great mercy, sometimes there is tyrannical killing, and it seems that you will have to be careful in the future, otherwise you will lose your head at some point.

Does the law not hold the public accountable? Hey, in front of this Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, there is no such word.

Including these officials, whether they are civil officials or military generals, their awe of the imperial court also arises spontaneously.

This time, it can be said that killing chickens and monkeys has the best effect.

3,000 heads, 3,000 corpses were thrown into mass graves, thousands of soldiers were going to work together, and soon mass graves were formed.

Next, after Mu Tianbo, Wu Zhaoyuan, Yang Weizhi and others received the execution ground, they came to the temporary palace and met Chongzhen to give the decree.
