Chapter Ninety-Two: The Pillar of Shame

Outside Wanzhou City, on the big dragon gate outside the Ming army barracks, there was a cage more than one person high, and there was a person standing in the cage, and the money rattail on his head was tied and hung on the top of the cage, so that he could not lower his head. The man's hands were tied behind his back, the shoes of his feet were removed, and the soles of his feet were nailed to the planks at the bottom of the cage and secured inside the cage. The wooden fence of the cage was covered with sharp iron spikes, so that the man could not get up at all; It was impossible to sit down, the braid on the head was hanging, and the cage was so narrow that it was impossible to sit at all.

Needless to say, I also know that the person who was hung up was Gao Jinku.

Hainan Island is still very hot in December, especially in Wanzhou, in the southeast of Hainan Island.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the hanging Gao Jinku was exposed to the scorching sun, the scorching sun shone on him, and the sweat on the top of his head dripped down drop by drop. But there was no water to drink, and in the afternoon, Gao Jinku didn't even sweat, and the fat on his body was decomposed and permeated by the sun, and he was greasy and greasy.

When Gao entered the warehouse to be tortured, many local people came to watch, some threw stones and dirt into the cage, some spat on it, and some people took wooden sticks to stab Gao into the warehouse, but the people who wanted to take wooden sticks were stopped by the guards around them.

The method of standing in the cage was thought up by Cai Dezhong. In order to make this enemy who killed his whole family die a slower, Cai Dezhong thought of various methods such as Ling Chi, cutting people's sticks, splitting the corpses of five horses, roasting by fire, beheading, steaming, etc., but he felt that he couldn't understand his hatred. The five horses were divided into corpses, roasted by fire, steamed, and beheaded, and they all died too quickly, and if the executioner did not know how to carry out the execution, he could not let the prisoner suffer 3,600 knives, and often dozens of knives killed the prisoner. The executioner didn't know how to deal with the stick, and he quickly killed the criminal, and he couldn't let him enjoy it for a few more days.

When it got dark, the cage was lowered. Cai Dezhong stepped forward to see what happened to his enemy.

Before I could get to the cage, I smelled a pungent stench coming from inside.

The inside of the standing cage was already dripping with blood, and the soles of the feet that were nailed to the bottom of the cage were oozing blood; Gao Jinku's body was also stained with blood, and it was estimated that he leaned to the side when he couldn't stand it, and he was pierced by spikes. The body is all greasy, that is because the sweat has dried up, and there is no replenishment, and all that comes out of the body is oil.

Cai Dezhong glanced at it and said, "Get some water for him to drink, don't let him die of thirst!" ”

Gao Jinku was very much like being stabbed at this time, and he was happily killed, but a quick death has become a luxury. His mouth was gagged and he couldn't speak, only making a "whine" sound.

The soldier brought water, and when he saw Gao Jinku's blocked mouth, the soldier asked, "My lord, how do you let him drink water?" ”

"Bring it, let me serve him!" Cai Dezhong said.

The door of the cage was opened, Cai Dezhong stood in front of Gao Jinku with a bowl of water, looked at Gao Jinku, spit a mouthful of saliva in his face, and scolded: "Dog thief, you also have today!" Are you glaring at me? I know, you want to die soon! But it's not that easy! A big traitor like you, if you don't endure more than a few days of pain, you won't be able to repay your blood debt! ”

After speaking, Cai Dezhong picked up the water bowl and slowly poured water on the socks that blocked Gao Jinku's mouth.

A little water soaked the stinky socks, although he begged for death, but the thirst was unbearable, Gao Jinku still bit the socks hard, and a stream of stinky water entered his throat, feeling a little more comfortable.

Cai Dezhong poured a little water on the stinky socks again, and said as he poured it: "You dog thief, you killed Lao Tzu's whole family, Lao Tzu still has to serve you today, let you live a few more days!" ”

Gao Jinku glared at Cai Dezhong, his eyes full of resentment.

Although there was no sun at night, it was very unpleasant to stand there and not move, and the braids were still hanging up. There are also mosquito bites, and all kinds of insects come to enjoy the meal when they smell the stench.

Cai Dezhong poured a bowl of water and turned to leave. The soldier stepped forward and closed the cage door.

On the first day, he could still stand in the warehouse, but on the third night, he could no longer bear it, and he leaned against the wooden fence despite the barbs on the cage, and let the barbs pierce into his body, and he was covered in blood. But the braid on the head was hanging, and the scalp couldn't withstand the pulling force, only to hear a "swish", and the money rattail was torn off with a large piece of scalp, and suddenly the head was dripping with blood, and the whole face was red.

Bonfires were lit in the camp and lit up as bright as day.

Wang Xinyu walked to the station cage and looked at Gao Jinku, who was tortured inside.

"Woo" Gao Jinku let out a whimper, and a pair of eyes that had become cloudy looked at Wang Xinyu with pleading eyes, as if asking Wang Xinyu to give himself a knife as soon as possible to end the pain as soon as possible.

"I know you want to die sooner! But it's not that cheap! I want to kill all the traitors in the world! But I didn't come up with such a cruel way, originally I thought that it would be better to divide the body of Ling Chi for you, but the hatred between Cai Dezhong and you is too great, he came up with such a good way, it is indeed a good way! This method can let all the people in the world who are traitors know that there is no good end to being a traitor! Wang Xinyu looked at Gao Jinku, who was worse than death, and sneered.

"Woo woo" Gao Jinku struggled hard, countless blood holes were cut by barbs on his body, blood flowed all over his body, and the soles of his feet nailed to the bottom plate also penetrated blood stains because of the struggle. A large piece of the scalp on top of his head was gone, and a piece of money rattail pigtail fell on the floor of the cage with a piece of scalp in it.

"Call the painter and ask him to draw the appearance of Gao Jinku's punishment!" Wang Xinyu said to his soldier Li Rui.

After the painter came, according to Wang Xinyu's request, he painted the tragic situation of Gao Jinku's punishment. The next day, when the cage was hung up and exposed to the sun, the artist painted a second picture.

Wang Xinyu called Hong Xiguan: "Find someone to arrange the woodblock of these two paintings, and then print them according to the words I wrote!" Let the heaven and earth go everywhere, and let all the traitors in the world see what it is like to be a traitor! In addition, when this guy dies, cut off his head and give it to Pingnan Wangfu for Shang Kexi to see the old turtle! ”

Hong Xiguan turned back to the printing craftsman and asked the craftsman to arrange a woodblock based on the two drawings drawn by the painter, and carved the following words on the wooden board:

To all the ministers of the world:

Barbarians entering the customs and destroying Chinese civilization is the misfortune of China and human civilization! The Jurchen savages have developed with a mere 100,000 people, and the role played by traitors and retainers in them is very important. If there were no traitors and ministers, it would be impossible for the Jurchen savages to occupy the entire territory of my Ming Dynasty! The traitors and ministers in the world are optimistic, I, Wang Yu, swear to kill all the traitors and ministers in the world! If I can change my past mistakes and resign from my official position as a Tartar, I Wang Yu can ignore my past suspicions! If you continue to work for the tiger, the fate of Gao Jinku is your future fate!

On the book of the second minister to the world, two paintings printed on a woodblock are also attached.

Finally, in the book of traitors and ministers who sued the world, the names of Wang Yu who must be killed were written: Hong Chengchou, Shang Kexi, Fan Wencheng, Zhu Guozhi, Li Guoying, Ma Degong, Wu Liuqi, Liu Liangzuo, Wu Ruju, Shi Lang, Huang Wu and others. In addition to the names of the traitors, there are also the descendants of the eight imperial merchants such as Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, and Liang Yu, who are Jin merchants.

After the typesetting was completed, Wang Xinyu explained to Hong Xiguan: "Let heaven and earth go everywhere!" In addition to the people on the list, there are also Wu Sangui, Sun Yanling, Zhao Liangdong, Liang Huafeng, and Li Shuitai, who can't be left out of the mansions! Let these traitors and ministers be afraid! Let them change their mistakes as soon as possible! Otherwise, the day when the king arrives will be the day when these traitors and ministers will be crowned! ”

On the fourth day, Gao Jinku finally couldn't bear the torture, and hit his neck into the barb on the wooden fence, cutting the major artery in his neck, and died in the cage.

It was found that Gao Jinku was dead, and the Ming sergeant reported to Wang Xinyu. Wang Xinyu ordered to cut off the head of Gao Jinku, save it with lime, and wait until he took the entire territory of Qiongzhou, and then find someone to send the head to Guangzhou and give it to Shang Kexi.

After Gao Jinku's death, Wang Xinyu asked people to set up a pillar of shame at the place where Gao Jinku died, engraved all the ministers on the list on the pillar of shame, and added some names of the ministers who had died, such as Sun Degong, Li Yongfang, Liu Liangchen and other names.

At the end of the pillar of shame is written: The names of all the Erchen traitors are engraved on it, and every time the king conquers a city in the future, he must set up a pillar of shame, which is engraved with the name of the Erchen traitor who is a tiger and a traitor. The people of future generations will never overturn the case of the traitor! If there is a person who overturns the case of the traitor, it will be regarded as the same crime as the traitor!

Hundreds of years later, this article finally became a national law, and those who washed the land of traitors were sent to prison. In order to become famous, some beasts jumped out to overturn the case of Hong Chengchou, Shi Lang and others, but they were all arrested and sentenced to several years in prison. There are also some people who washed the traitor's floor on the Internet, but they were also found out by the Internet police and sent to prison.

Seeing that Wang Xinyu asked people to engrave the last paragraph, Li Rui and the others asked puzzledly: "My lord, you said that someone will overturn the case of these second-minister traitors in the future?" ”

"There will be people like that! There are always people with ulterior motives who will do this! They want all Han Chinese to be traitors so that they can achieve ulterior motives! Wang Xinyu said.

Hong Xiguan asked: "My lord, if such a notice is sent everywhere, the Tartar court will definitely be shocked, and they will definitely send sailors to attack Qiongzhou Island." ”

Li Rui also asked: "Yes, my lord, haven't we been blocking the news that Qiongzhou Island was attacked by us?" As soon as this notice was issued, didn't it tell the Tartars that we had already taken Qiongzhou Island? ”

"Hahaha! By the time we go to issue the notice, we have already taken down the capital city of Qiongzhou! As long as we take the capital city of Qiongzhou, we will gain a firm foothold here! Wang Xinyu laughed, "If the Tartar sailor wants to come, I can't ask for it!" It's better for them to come, we sink them all to the bottom of the sea! It would be even better if Shang Kexi and Wu Liuqi could be lured out and killed at sea! ”

When the notice began to be printed, the Qing court had no idea that the main force of the Qing army on Qiongzhou Island had been almost lost.

After Wang Xinyu captured Wanzhou, he rested for five days and then sent troops to attack the capital city of Qiongzhou.

Along the way, when passing through the three counties of Lehui, Anding, and Huitong, there was no green camp Qing army stationed in these counties, only the local Tusi native soldiers guarded.

Seeing the Ming army attacking, the local county commander hurriedly organized the local people, organized the government service, arrested quickly, and cooperated with the local Tusi soldiers to defend the city. However, these rabble were vulnerable, and the Ming army blasted open the city gate with cannons, suppressed the native soldiers and people on the city tower, and then rushed into the city.

The county seat of Lehui was captured, the Qing court county ordered suicide, and the local Tusi surrendered.

With the exception of a group of heinous Tusi who were beheaded, the Tusi who surrendered were treated more leniently: they were spared the death penalty as long as they surrendered their land and distributed it to the local people.
