Chapter 836 Rare Torture
The reactions of the people have far exceeded Wu Zheng and Zhang Huangyan's expectations.
Not only did they not kill Chen Hongfan on the spot, but they were afraid of killing Chen Hongfan.
In theory, people like Chen Hongfan, who are called "living Qin Hui" by the people of Jiangnan, and are full of evil deeds, should immediately remove him from the crowd to relieve the hatred in their hearts, but the people were afraid that he would die at that time.
On how to deal with his issue, the people specially held a unique "symposium" for this, and decided how to "enter" this. Everyone wanted to eat his "living Qin Hui".
The people have considerable patience in this matter. It may also be because the people hate him too much, just like people crying with joy and laughing with anger.
After a whole day of discussion, there was finally a plan that satisfies the majority of people. On this day, Chen Hongfan was listening on the spot. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to express his fear.
Chen Hongfan's clothes have been stripped off. The cold wind is biting at this time. Fortunately, it is daytime, if it is night, he will probably have frozen to death. His hair has been shaved. In the eyes of the people, people like Chen Hongfan should not have the Han people's clothes and hair tie.
Chen Hongfan was tied up, his mouth was sewn with steel needles and twine.
Therefore, even if Chen Hongfan wants to argue and beg for mercy, he can't open his mouth.
But his bottom was full of tremendous fear, which had reached an unbearable level.
That night, when the people were about to discuss and discuss the plan they had formulated, and submitted it to Wu Zheng after a scholar who had fallen from the previous dynasty, Wu Zheng was stunned.
Zhang Huangyan beside him came up curiously and glanced at him, and said in horror: "Prince, this... is too contrary to the saint's teachings?"
Wu Zheng did hesitate. Should this example be started?
At this time, Jiang Quanyi, with his injured left arm, stepped forward and looked at it, and said sneered: "The saint teaches people to be kind, but today, people are no longer humans, so they should be treated as beasts. If the prince can hand this thief over the job and guarantee it, nine days later, this thief can still breathe!"
Wu Zheng was a little moved and glanced at Ma Shiying and said, "What do you think Lord Ma thinks?"
Ma Shiying wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said firmly: "The officials thought that this should be done! Only in this way can we soothe the resentment in the hearts of the people and shock the treacherous ministers and those who are undecided and who are at ease with each other."
Wu Zheng turned around and said to Zhang Huangyan: "Brother Xuanzhu, have you heard it?"
Zhang Huangyan stubbornly said: "I don't oppose the execution of Chen Hongfan, but this method is too tyrannical and insulting... It's contrary to heaven! I heard that a righteous man from Shandong Xie Qian gathered people to resist the Qing Dynasty. The rebel army attacked Zichuan City and recommended that Sun Zhixi, who advised Dorgon to give a haircut order, implemented this method. Although he tried to relieve his hatred, he felt chilled after hearing it... Prince, man is a human being, and cannot become a beast!"
Sun Zhixie was from Zichuan County, Shandong Province and was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi.
This guy has always had a strange personality. In the early years of Chongzhen, the eunuch party fell. Sun Zhixie was not a member of the eunuch party. However, when the court officials asked to destroy the "Three Dynasties' Essays", the only guy cried loudly in the hall. Emperor Chongzhen then ordered him to be included in the eunuch party's rebellion case and dismissed for the people.
After the Qing army entered the pass, he summoned him to the capital with a piece of paper, and he went there happily and was appointed as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Later, after Prince Ying Ajige decided to Jiujiang, Deputy Chief Tong Dai stayed behind. Sun Zhixie volunteered to recommend himself to recruit the pacification. Dorgon believed it and appointed him as Minister of War and ordered him to recruit Jiangxi.
Unfortunately, after arriving in Jiangxi, no one in the military and civilians paid attention to him. "I failed to serve for a long time and gained favours in the city." Dorgon was very disappointed, so he stopped paying attention to Sun Zhixie. Soon Sun Zhixie was dismissed from office for the people.
If this is the case, it is not considered a great crime. Originally, the Ming Dynasty has raised scholars for hundreds of years, but once it perishes, there are not many scholars willing to die with them.
Those who died in the capital were only 21 ministers below Fan Jingwen, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, and many of them turned into ministers of the new dynasty.
If you really want to use this to determine the life and death of a person, you will be afraid of killing 70% of all scholars in Jiangbei.
The reason why Sun Zhixie was hated by the people was extremely unparalleled was because of his advice to Dorgon - the order to shave the hair.
In fact, there were two waves of "shave orders" when the Qing army entered the pass.
The first wave was implemented by Duoduo, which directly triggered the Jiangyin City Massacre and the Jiading Three Massacres, mainly concentrated in Jiangnan.
The second wave was caused by the "head shaving order" that Sun Zhixie, a traitor, advised Dorgon to "lead his head but not his hair, and keep his hair but not his head."
For thousands of years, Han people have been educated by the concept of "the body, hair, skin, and parents, and they dare not hurt them, which is the beginning of filial piety."
The hair shaving order made the people lose their symbols of being Han people and their last psychological defense for not being slaves.
As a result, a tragic and fierce anti-shaving struggle was triggered. It is unimaginable how tragic it was and how many people died.
In just three years, there were as many as seventeen people's uprisings between Shandong and Tianjin.
There was Ding Weiyue, a farmer in Yanzhou, Shandong Province, and Zhang Yaozhong led the crowd to hold an anti-Qing uprising.
Youqingyun Yang Sihai pretended to be the heir of Emperor Tianqi and gathered thousands of people to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but in just half a year, he was suppressed.
A Tianjin woman named Zhang, who claimed to be the empress of Emperor Tianqi, and Wang Li and Zhang Tianbao printed jade seals, ordered flags, and organized anti-Qing teams. The number was as many as 20,000 or 30,000, and it was wiped out in less than half a year.
The biggest momentum, which was what Zhang Huangyan said at this time, was that the Xieqian Uprising in Shandong lasted for three years. Because the rebel army first pointed the finger at the local landlords and traitors who colluded with the Qing Dynasty, confiscated their property and grain, and distributed it to the local poor farmers. It was supported by the farmers and its power developed rapidly. It was called the "No. 1 bandit" in Shandong by the Qing court, with a maximum of 50,000 or 60,000 people.
At the beginning of the year, Xie Qian and Ding Keze led the rebel army to capture Zichuan, arrested Sun Zhixie, announced his crimes in public and sentenced them to death. The method was similar to the plan presented by the people to deal with Chen Hongman at this time, and eight direct relatives of Sun Zhixie were also executed.
Afterwards, Xie Qian led the rebel army to defend Zichuan County for two months. Later, the Qing army dug tunnels and smashed the city walls with gunpowder. They were lost and destroyed. The military advisor Zhao Shuxiang was killed, and Xie Qian was captured and taken to the capital.
By the way, even Wu Sangui, who was "fighting for the beauty with anger", although he "had a bloody wedding and a beautiful place to make a dowry for Chen Yuanyuan, he did not agree to implement shaving his hair. He also had a dispute with Dorgon in public in order to stop the "shave order".
It can be seen how unpopular the "Shaving Order" was among the Han people of the people at that time.
