Therefore, for the current Daping Dynasty, lack of food, money, and officials are simply a waste of time. Moreover, the Daping Dynasty still needs to maintain wars with powerful enemies, and does not focus on managing internal affairs in order to recuperate and recuperate.
Changes and running-in. Therefore, the current Daping Dynasty relies heavily on Wu Shigong's ability to govern the country.
After reading the memorial about Li Zicheng's Dashun Army, Wu Shigong began to carefully browse the information on Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army collected by the Shanchuan Division and the Military Intelligence Bureau. This information can only be described in eight characters - shocking! Tragic.
!
Because first Li Zicheng's Dashun Army surged northwest and then captured the capital; then the Dashun Army was defeated miserably in Yutian, and the Qing Army entered the capital; and finally the Runing Army was behind, and Wu Shigong became the supreme leader of the 95th Five-Year Plan. Therefore, nothing can be seen
The future Zhang Xianzhong immediately fell into a kind of morbid hysteria.
According to general principles, since Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan and established the Daxi Kingdom, he should treat this Kingdom of Abundance as his own base and govern it well. Unexpectedly, he carried out the apocalyptic carnival inhumanely.
Maybe Zhang Xianzhong already knew that no matter who conquered the world, he would not be allowed to separatist rule. His only fate would be destruction, so he went on a killing spree, with a mentality that I can't get, and you can't get it either.
This is like a man who knows that he wants to become someone else's rich man with his huge wealth. He can no longer enjoy it anyway, but he is not willing to let others get it, so he throws, smashes, burns and kills. But for
For Zhang Xianzhong, who had become crazy, he did even more amazingly.
Although the information Wu Shigong has seen now only leaks out a lot of information, it still makes Wu Shigong feel thrilling and heart-wrenching.
Zhang Xianzhong's massacre in Sichuan, in addition to the general killing method of slashing and slashing with a knife, also created several killing methods of his own, which were applied to different targets. There have always been wars and bandits, and the common people, old, young, women and children, suffered the most.
It was brutal. Every time Zhang Xianzhong's army fell into one side, except for a few young women who were kidnapped to serve as camp prostitutes, the rest were killed for fear of damaging the morale of the army. Even when food and grass were scarce, women were killed and pickled to serve as army rations.
If you encounter a pregnant woman, perform a caesarean section to test the gender. For infants and young children in your arms, throw them into the air, catch them with the tip of a knife, and watch their hands and feet fly for fun. This is named "Snow Loach". For older children,
Or young people. Then a group of hundreds of people would light firewood and form a circle. Soldiers outside the circle would assassinate them with spears and halberds, and watch them wander around shouting to add to the fun. This was named "Guan Opera".
The most heinous thing is to deal with people who are slightly resistant or dissatisfied with their language. They will capture them, peel the skin off their backs from the ridges, and uncover them to their shoulders. They will then be draped over their shoulders and driven to the outskirts. They are strictly prohibited from being kept by the people and given food.
There are many people who live in ancient tombs and die after more than a month. If the executioner causes the person to die at that time and does not suffer this crime, the executioner will also be skinned. This is called "little peeling".
In addition, Zhang Xianzhong came from a rough and uncivilized background. Out of a kind of suspicion and an instinct to hate educated people, he was bound to kill scholars. His Daxi regime placed officials in various prefectures in Sichuan and used military orders to urge the surrounding scholars and gentry to the towns.
Enter through the east gate, exit through the west gate, and kill them all.
It was only two months after the capture of Chengdu. They killed the Jinshi, raised people, and sent 17,000 people to the east gate. They also summoned the students. They took out a 100-square-foot banner and ordered them to write the word "handsome" all over it.
, and it must be written in one stroke, and those who can avoid death. Wang Zhidao, a student from Jiajiang, tied grass into a pen, soaked it in a large vat of ink for three days, and wrote straightly. Zhang Xianzhong read it carefully and said: "You are so talented, he
Ritu, I will do it!" He immediately killed Ji Qi. Anyway, it was an unreasonable massacre. It left those scholars with no way to survive.
After that, Zhang Xianzhong opened a subject to obtain scholars. He severely forced scholars from various states and counties to come to take the exam. Those who did not come were beheaded and ordered to sit in ten neighboring houses. He set up a long rope four feet (about 1.3 meters) above the ground in front of the Chengdu Gongyuan to allow the exams to be held.
The people crossed the rope one by one. Anyone who was taller than the rope were rushed to the Qingyang Palace outside the west gate to kill them. There were more than ten thousand people in front and behind, and the dead left behind piles of pens and inkstones. Zhang Xianzhong went to watch, holding his palms and laughing heartily.
What is even more incredible is that Zhang Xianzhong committed self-destruction and committed suicide while others were poisonous and could not eat their own children. One night, one of his young sons passed by the hall. Zhang called out to him, but the son did not answer, so he ordered him to be killed. The next day
When he got up in the morning, he regretted it, summoned his wives and concubines, and asked them why they didn't save him last night. He also ordered that all the wives and concubines, as well as the swordsman who killed the young son, be killed.
This is not the only strange thing. As Zhang Xianzhong became anxious, he actually began to kill his own soldiers. When there were no more people around to kill, he committed suicide. The first time he killed the Shu soldiers, the Shu soldiers were all gone, and the second time he killed the Chu soldiers.
After the Chu soldiers were exhausted, they later killed the Qin soldiers who were also revolting. Even the officers and soldiers of the Daxi Army couldn't stand this behavior. Zhang Xianzhong instead blamed his subordinates for their inability to kill people and scolded: I only need three thousand troops to go rampant.
What in the world do you need so many people to do!
Women, in particular, were in a state of hell. Whenever the Western Army was attacking a city and encountered fierce resistance, Zhang Xianzhong would let the captured women go naked and insult them on the city.
As for the captured women, all the pretty ones were gang-raped until they were almost alive, then their heads were cut off and their bodies were buried upside down in the soil. The women's private parts were facing up, as they believed they could suppress artillery fire.
Except for one situation where women could avoid death, that is, as soon as Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers entered people's homes, the women at home pretended to be very willing and took the initiative to have sex with the soldiers. Therefore, wherever Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers passed by, women had to be the first to greet them.
, stripping off one's clothes for them to tease, in order to have a chance to save the lives of the whole family. So the women of the people were so frightened that they had no choice but to sacrifice themselves one after another, and they looked more like prostitutes than prostitutes.
When Zhang Xianzhong captured a city, he had to first select a few beautiful women to take turns to stay with him. These beauties wore colorful clothes on their upper bodies and "chiluo" on their lower bodies. No matter what time or what
Whenever Zhang Xianzhong gets horny, he will immediately order these beauties to lie on the ground and rape them. When he is tired of playing with them, he will wash them, skin them, kill them, steam them or cook them and eat them. Sometimes he can't wait for these beauties to be cooked.
When it's ripe, chew it with blood.
After entering Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong contracted malaria, and he made a wish to God, saying that if he recovered from his illness, he would offer "two plates of candles to the sky" as tribute to God. It was not until he recovered that people around him understood what this meant.
Zhang Xianzhong ordered the soldiers to chop off the women's feet. Each soldier must donate at least ten pairs of feet. Those soldiers who were like wolves and tigers searched for the women's feet and chopped off the feet of women on the spot. It took less than half a day.
The little feet in the military camp had piled up like a mountain. Zhang Xianzhong ordered his people to pile the collected three-inch feet into the shape of a mountain, which was called Lotus Peak.
Unexpectedly, the devil on earth was not satisfied yet. When he looked back and saw that his concubine's feet were also very small, he cut them off and piled them on the top of Lotus Peak. Then he burned these small legs on fire and called them "Dian Chaotian Candles".
.As for the men, their heads or "yangju" were cut off, and they were also piled together and exposed to the sun.
Under Zhang Xianzhong's massacre, Sichuan was a thousand miles away. After the civilians were killed, Zhang Xianzhong sent his confidants to eavesdrop among the soldiers. If the soldiers even complained, their entire families would be killed.
Under such killings, the entire city in Sichuan was covered with trees. Wild dogs ate human flesh as ferociously as tigers and leopards, biting people to death on the road and leaving without eating them clean. The remaining people fled into the mountains, wearing straw plaited clothes.
My clothes were covered in hair (lack of salt).
Such accusations made with blood and tears made Wu Shigong extremely worried. He immediately commented: "The thief Zhang cannot be forgiven! The thief Daxi cannot be forgiven!" After that, he put down the ink pen to calm down his mood.
However, after reading the intelligence about Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, Wu Shigong gained a lot of confidence in Xue Yong's northwest strategy. As long as Xue Yong's tactics of seizing the east and attacking the west are effective, Li Zicheng's Dashun Army will definitely cease to exist. And Zhang Xianzhong, who has already destroyed himself, will no longer exist.
It's not something to be afraid of anymore.
Even if the outcome of the battle is unfavorable, the Daping Army can withdraw to Shanxi and Henan. After all, behind them are Zhou Xun and Zhang Biao's Xiongchui Town, those staying in Runing and Guide, the Runing Army troops commanded by Xue Qiang, and Shanxi's troops.
Local troops were used as support. Moreover, Li Zicheng's Dashun Army did not have enough troops to launch a counterattack.
After resting for a while, Wu Shigong began to read Nan Ming's battle report.
The accurate news that Beijing had been captured by Li Zicheng and that Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide did not reach Nanjing until late August. The ministers of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, in great sorrow and mourning, quickly prepared to support the new emperor. As a result, various political factions
The forces fought nervously for a month, and finally appointed King Fu Zhu Yousong as emperor and changed his name to Hongguang.
Emperor Hongguang ascended the throne on September 15th. Immediately after he ascended the throne, he issued an edict to propose a posthumous title for Emperor Chongzhen. On September 15th, the posthumous title was agreed upon, and the full name was "Shaotian Yidao, Frustrated, Frugal, and Wenfen"
Wu, Dunrenmao Xiaolie Emperor", the temple name is "Sizong", the posthumous title uses "Si" and "lie", which especially highlights the mourning for Emperor Chongzhen who "slayed his life to become a benevolent person".
Later, someone pointed out that the word "Si" was once the posthumous title of Liu Chan, the empress of the Shu Han Dynasty. It was extremely inappropriate to use "Si" to refer to Emperor Chongzhen. They suggested changing the name. The courtiers discussed it for a long time, and finally changed the temple name to "Yi".
”.
Then, Wen Bing, the son of Wen Zhenmeng, who served as a bachelor for one month in the Chongzhen Dynasty, gave the late emperor the posthumous title of 'Emperor Lie Zong Zheng'." Although Wen Bing's views were very representative at the time, the survivors were motivated by the subjugation of the country.
The tragedy and deep nostalgia for the motherland inevitably led to a special enthusiasm for the last emperor who was the symbol of the motherland.
What's more, "the only death has been difficult since ancient times". After all, Emperor Chongzhen died for his country. That death was regarded as a heroic and extraordinary death, which was the "benevolence" that harmonized the world. Even forcing the concubine to be killed before his death became "righteousness".
Not fighting for destiny has become "wisdom", an angry word before death has also become "ritual", benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom are all independent of heaven and earth, and will be followed for thousands of generations.
What is ridiculous is that these ministers were busy playing these word games, but did not put their minds on how to preserve the small court of Nanming.
