When Dorgon heard Yu Mantou's words, he opened his eyes and looked at the impassioned Yu Mantou in front of the execution platform in surprise.
Is this a young man from the Ming Dynasty?
In Dorgon's impression, the people of the Ming Dynasty were cowardly and numb wretches. These wretches struggled to survive under the oppression of the government and the exploitation of the gentry, without a trace of dignity. These people did not have enough food to eat and no clothes.
They don't have enough clothes to wear, they sell their sons and daughters whenever there is a famine, and they don't even know what a country is and what a home is.
In Dorgon's concept, the people of the Ming Dynasty who were under the pressure of survival had no sense of honor at all. When these people saw the officials and gentry, they were like mice seeing cats, trembling all over. They talked about the emperor every day, but the emperor in the Forbidden City had no sense of honor at all.
able to save them.
In desperate situations, these Ming people are desperate to survive. As long as they are given a knife, they will attack their compatriots without hesitation. Dorgon entered the pass several times and plundered countless Ming people. These people were reduced to Bao Bao.
Slaves in Yi often ended up becoming minions of the Qing Dynasty, serving as cannon fodder for the Qing Dynasty's conquests in the north and south.
Dorgon didn't understand why the people under Li Zhi were so impassioned.
These people of Li Zhi seem to not only understand what home is and what country is, but also have a full sense of honor and mission. Even ordinary soldiers and ordinary people forget their personal life and death under the call of a sense of honor and mission.
When given the opportunity to become heroes who sacrifice their lives for their country, ordinary people never flinch.
The other people were full of admiration in front of the hero.
Everyone wants to be a national hero, and everyone worships a national hero.
I don’t know what means Li Zhi used to educate the people. Dorgon felt that every common person here was willing to abandon personal interests for the collective benefit. In Dorgon’s eyes, the tens of thousands of people in front of the execution platform were not tens of thousands.
Each is a sheep fighting on its own, but a group of beasts that understand unity, cooperation and mutual benefit.
Dorgon even felt that this Yu Mantou, this Boss Ma, and the people of Fanjiazhuang were more terrifying than the most loyal and elite Jurchens.
What methods did Li Zhi use to cultivate such a vibrant society?
Dorgon once personally killed a Ming guerrilla general. The guerrilla general was abandoned by Pao Ze and was surrounded by Qing troops. He hacked to death seven Qing soldiers before he died of exhaustion.
Before he died, the guerrilla general shouted loudly, saying that everyone in China was a hero, and that one day the people of Ming Dynasty would unite under the banner of a great hero, become impassioned righteous men, and kill all the barbarians.
Dorgon has been walking on thin ice in the past few years since he ascended the throne. The words of that guerrilla general have become Dorgon's nightmare, often waking him up late at night.
However, at this time, Dorgon knew that what the guerrilla general said came true.
Dorgon opened his eyes wide and looked at the quiet people of Fanjiazhuang in the audience. He looked at Yu Mantou who walked back to his seat with his head held high, and saw Li Zhi beside Yu Mantou.
Is this Li Zhi the great hero who led the people of Tianjin to rise? After the people of Tianjin awakened, everyone became an impassioned righteous man? The Jianzhou Jurchen was the sacrifice for the flag after the people of Tianjin awakened?
Dorgon's face was pale and his heart was ashen.
Li Zhi walked up to Dorgon and asked, "Dorgon, have you clearly seen the people of Tianjin?"
Dorgon closed his eyes and did not answer Li Zhi's words.
Li Zhi smiled and said: "You are going to die, what can you say?"
The audience on the execution platform all looked at Dorgon to see what the Manchu Emperor would say in his last moments.
Dorgon thought for a long time and then slowly said: "I, the Jurchen, should never challenge the Ming Dynasty."
Wang Chengen's face froze when he heard Dorgon say these words in poor Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
Zhang Jinyan and Wei Zaode looked at each other with surprise.
Unexpectedly, Dorgon, who was still unruly a few days ago, in front of the people of Fanjiazhuang, after hearing a few words from Yu Mantou and Boss Ma, started to fear the Ming Dynasty, and surrendered before he died.
How could the people of Fanjiazhuang be so powerful? Even Dorgon was afraid?
Li Zhi laughed loudly and said, "Now that you understand, I'll send you on your way."
"Execution!"
Two executioners came up, one of them straightened Dorgon's body, and the other raised a huge beheading steel knife.
The people in the audience opened their eyes wide when they saw that the Manchu emperor was about to be executed. There were tens of thousands of people around the execution ground, but no one made any noise.
In front of the towering execution platform, the executioner raised his knife and chopped off Dorgon's head.
However, the executioner exerted too much force, and Dorgon's head flew several meters away from the front of the execution platform and fell into the platform.
The common people took a few steps back, put Dorgon's head in the middle, and stared at the slave chief's face with wide eyes.
After two or three seconds, Dorgon was completely dead.
After a few seconds of silence, the audience suddenly burst into thunderous cheers.
Someone raised his arms and shouted toward the execution platform:
"mighty!"
That shout was like a spark that started a prairie fire, and instantly a huge fire broke out. All the people watching the execution raised their arms and shouted: "Mighty!"
The shouts swept through the entire Fanjiazhuang like a tsunami, from east to west, from south to north.
"mighty!"
"mighty!"
"mighty!"
Wei Zaode, a scholar from Dongge University, turned pale amidst the shouts of the people and clutched the armrests of his chair tightly as if he was afraid.
Li Zhi glanced at Wei Zaode and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei Ge, how are my people in Tianjin?"
Only then did Wei Zaode realize that he had lost his composure. He forced out a smile and said, "Mighty, indeed mighty!"

On the fourth day of November, in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion, Li Zhi's father-in-law Cui Wending looked at Cui He, who was nine months pregnant, with a gloomy expression on his face.
"He'er, is this your fourth pregnancy?"
Cui Wending stroked his beard and said: "He'er, you gave birth to two sons and one daughter to Li Zhi. This is the fourth child. You have really made a great contribution. Our Cui family has been helping Li Zhi when he was poor. He Li Zhi
It’s time for Zhi to repay our Cui family.”
Seeing that Cui He didn't answer his question, Cui Wending had no choice but to say straight to the point: "He'er, I asked you to tell me about the bank president last time. What did Li Zhi say?"
Cui He lowered his head and touched his belly, his mouth flat and silent.
Cui Wending looked at his daughter's face, and suddenly there was anger on his face.
"You didn't tell Li Zhi?"
Cui Wending stood up angrily and shouted: "Cui He, you were very smart before, why did you become stupid after marrying Li Zhi?"
Cui He lowered his head in panic.
Cui Wending asked angrily: "Cui He! Tell me! Why have you become so careless now?"
Cui He had nowhere to hide under his father's questioning. He could only say with a sad face: "Dad, my husband treats me well. After I marry my husband, I don't have to worry about anything. He has thought of everything for me. I only need to embroider every day."
Just embroider. Besides, he loves me and treats our children well. He has thought of everything for me."
"My husband is smart and powerful, and he doesn't even have a concubine. What else should I think about? I don't have to think about anything! Naturally, I look stupid!"
Cui Wending looked at Cui He and slapped his thigh angrily.
