NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9
09: Man Qing is worse than a beast! He is a murderer! He must be destroyed!
Zhu Yuanzhang’s question was originally intended to be a tactful inquiry.
Both he and Zhu Di deeply understood one truth, that is, when foreign races invade, the fate of Chinese people is often not very good. But people always have a sense of luck in their hearts, and Zhu Gao’s cold tone and cold words completely extinguished the slightest bit of luck in Zhu Yuanzhang’s heart….
What on earth did this Tartar do when he entered the pass that angered the heavens and the people, causing Zhu Gao to use such harsh words?
Zhu Di swallowed his saliva and thought of the possibilities in his mind. He couldn’t help but get nervous.”What on earth did this Jiannu Tartar do?”……What made you so angry?”
“I am not angry.” Zhu Gaoxun sneered and said,”I want to kill all of this people, which is my true thought.”
Zhu Gaoxun expressed his inner thoughts and then continued,”Compared with the Five Barbarians and the Mongols in the past, the Qing Tartars are even worse! Even more excessive!”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about the possible fate of his people and became more and more uneasy.
“”What on earth happened?” Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled,”Could it be that the Manchu Tartars dared to defy the world and massacre the people?”
“But it is not only against the will of the world……”Zhu Gaoxun said coldly:”These Qing Tartars have no idea what human nature is.”
“Ten Days in Yangzhou – After the Qing Dynasty occupied Yangzhou, Duoduo ordered a massacre on the grounds that the city refused to surrender.”
“In these ten days, Yangzhou has changed from a prosperous city to a ghost town! The number of people slaughtered by the Man Qing is no less than 800,000!”
Hearing this number, the other three people present all felt their scalps tingling, unable to believe it.
What is the concept of 800,000? Two thousand people can make a small playground in the future crowded.
And 800,000 people on a large plain, that is a number that is endless!
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di fought for years, so they naturally knew the hugeness of this data, and they also deeply understood the fate of the people under the iron hoof of war.
In the past, this number often appeared in the Ming Dynasty’s foreign wars and appeared on foreign races.
Hearing this number at this time, the two of them were already furious, wishing they could come to the Chongzhen Dynasty in person to destroy the Man Qing!
Zhu Gaoyi’s words did not pause because of the surprise of the three people present
“The Three Massacres of Jiading: Li Chengdong, a subordinate of Li Zicheng, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became the general of Wusong of the Qing Dynasty”
“This man was a cunning villain with a vicious nature. During the several attacks on Jiading, he allowed his soldiers to slaughter people wantonly.”
“For a moment, the remains of the people blocked the river, and the entire river turned into a river of blood…….And this man’s three massacres in Jiading killed no less than 100,000 people!”
Hearing this, Zhu Youjian was completely dumbfounded.
It was not just that he was an incompetent general who exhausted the army, but that the people of the entire dynasty suffered a great disaster.
Zhu Youjian always thought that he had done a good job. The dynasty was on the verge of collapse, mostly because officials were not human and did not do anything.
Now it seems that things are far from being so.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. This sentence is well-known, but he obviously did not understand its true meaning…….
No one cared about Zhu Youjian’s emotions, because Zhu Gaoxun’s words continued.
“Eighty-one days in Jiangyin – The Man Qing attacked Jiangyin. The entire city of Jiangyin defended the city tenaciously under the leadership of Dianshi Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun and others, and they defended the city for a total of 81 days!”
“Eighty-one days later, Jiangyin City was captured and Qing ordered a massacre! The entire city was destroyed, and only fifty-three people were left hiding in the temple tower to save their lives.”
“In this battle, the number of casualties among the Ming people was no less than 170,000. There were also those who were strong and steadfast in character in the Ming Dynasty!”
“These are the loyal subjects of our Ming Dynasty…….”Zhu Di sighed,”Is there no one who surrendered? Will the Man Qing also massacre the city after people surrender?”
“This requires us to talk about the methods of the Man Qing.”Zhu Gaoxun took out a piece of paper and pen, and started writing and drawing on it. After a while, he pointed at the portrait and said,”Just like the shape in this painting, the Man Qing issued an order to shave their heads after entering the pass – keep the head but not the hair, keep the hair but not the head.”
When Zhu Gaoxun started writing and drawing, the three people at the scene came up and frowned when they saw the rat-tail braids on it.
Not for anything else, but because of one word – ugly!
It was so ugly that people couldn’t bear to look at it.
Zhu Youjian was indignant,”The body and hair are given by parents, how can they be easily destroyed?”
After hearing Zhu Gaoxun’s explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered,”This Man Qing Tartar is not simple, there is a master among them…….After the forced shaving of hair, it is conducive to strengthening the rule of the Manchus and making the people accept their policies. It is really powerful!”
Zhu Di looked at the portrait with disgust and continued:”I guess these massacres are all because they don’t want to shave their hair, so they rise up in resistance? And these failed examples have severely frightened the subjects of the world…….”
“Grandpa Emperor and father have a very good eye, they saw the truth at a glance.” Zhu Gaoxun sighed:
“In order to protect their ruling status, the Qing Dynasty had to prohibit the Hanization of their own ethnic group and at the same time force the Han people to change their customs. Shaving their hair and changing their clothes was one of the methods used by the Qing Dynasty.”
“This method naturally caused a lot of resistance. Most of the previous massacres were massacres after the resistance.”
Speaking of this, Zhu Gaoxun changed the subject and continued to talk about the evil deeds of the Qing Dynasty after entering the pass,”The Gengyin robbery – also known as the Guangzhou Massacre. The Qing Dynasty’s Pingnan King Shang Kexi and Jingnan King Geng Jimao besieged Guangzhou Prefecture.”
“After the city was captured, Shang Kexi ordered a massacre of the city’s residents for twelve days. For a time, Guangzhou was littered with corpses. After the massacre, there were almost no survivors in the city. The number of people killed in this massacre alone was no less than 700,000!”
“This is still good……”Zhu Yuanzhang frowned,”Was this man a general of the Ming Dynasty before?”
“”Reply to Taizu.” Zhu Youjian finally came to his senses at this time and continued,”This man should have been the deputy general of Guanglu Island, and he has surrendered to Jiannu.”
Listening to the atrocities of Jiannu, Zhu Youjian realized that his ability was just that great.
But fortunately, with the three ancestors, the Ming Dynasty could still be saved.
As long as Tiancheng’s ancestors finished telling the story, he would speak out his demands.
Zhu Yuanzhang silently made a note to Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, and said to Zhu Gaoxun,”Anything else? What other evil things did this Man Qing do?”
Every word Zhu Gaoxun said just now was like an arrow piercing the heart, making the three people on the scene extremely uncomfortable.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang let Zhu Gaoxun continue to speak, in addition to being a little numb, was more because he began to take notes in his heart.
With this chat group, these people should be able to go to the Chongzhen Dynasty.
By then, no one will be able to escape!
Zhu Di sneered and said,”These dog Tartars have become a climate, with many tricks!”
After snorting coldly, Zhu Di set his eyes on Zhu Gaoxun, and it was obvious that he had begun to settle accounts in his heart.
However, the words Zhu Gaoxun said next directly made the three people present furious.
