One thousand twenty-six past

If it weren't for the fact that he was doing such a thing with his own hands, Li Mingli himself couldn't believe that what he was doing was a fact that happened to Lang Lang, not only a fact, but also that he was burying the victim with his own hands. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This period of history is a bloody fact, as recorded in the old Manchu archives and many documents, the Jurchen policy towards the Han people changed radically by the fifth year of the Mandate of Heaven and the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and there were many reasons for this change.

For example, after Nurhachi entered Fushun Pass and opened Liaoyang and Shenyang, he did not preside over a large-scale massacre, but plundered the wealth of a considerable number of Han gentry in Shenyang and Liaoyang City, and at the same time gave great preferential treatment to the surrendered gentry and Ming army generals, for example, Li Yongfang was included in the Jurchen aristocratic system and became the Jurchen people's forehead, which was a very distinct political attitude, which led to the continued surrender of Sun Degong and other Liao Zhen Ming army generals during the Battle of Guangning...... The generals of Liaozhen are also differentiated, and those who are politically and economically unwilling also hope to change the court to obtain greater returns, and the Jurchens have been rampant in Liaodong for many years, outsiders do not understand, the local generals of Liaozhen are well aware of their power, otherwise there would not be Li Chengliang moving out of the Kuandian Liubao residence and giving up the defense of Kuandian.

At least at that time, Nurhachi hoped that the Han people would accept him as a new master, serve him, and provide food and salary for the Jurchen Eight Banners, so that his soldiers could break away from labor and gather greater and stronger forces.

From the moment the country was named Jin, Nurhachi and the Jurchen upper class determined the goal, the lowest goal was to conquer Mongolia and possess the whole Liao, and confront the Ming Dynasty across the Great Wall, and the higher level was to be able to attack the north of the Ming Dynasty and rule across the river or river from the Han people.

As for Mixed Yuan Yiyu, to be fair, even Huang Taiji probably never thought about it like this at this time.

Nurhachi had a grand goal, and in his early days, he acted in a very orderly manner, sheltering and reusing Han generals and Han troops, and did not wantonly kill Han people, and even some Jurchens robbed and killed Han people and were severely punished.

However, the Han people in Liaodong were not as docile as Nurhachi imagined, starting from the Kaiyuan Tieling, the Han people determined that they would not be slaves to these pigtailed savages, a large number of Han people desperately fled, and those who could not escape were also mindful of the Ming, once there was a chance they would turn against the water, which Nuerhachi and the Jurchen nobles all knew, everywhere was like this, as long as the Ming army appeared, the Han people almost closed the city and rebelled, in peacetime, it was also to try to provide help and convenience to the Dongjiang fine work that came to the poisoning room, As soon as they have the opportunity, they will flee in large numbers, or even kill the garrison before running away.

The occurrence of such things is only a guide, a fire, and a rope, and what makes Nurhachi painfully determined to kill is due to the continuous food shortage in recent years.

Due to the displacement of the people due to the war, it was very bad in the past few years, if there was no war, the people were only struggling on the food and clothing line, the hardship of the Liao people has not been a day, a lot of wealth has been taken away by the major generals, the people's ability to resist the accident is very weak, the war came, the famine followed, of course, the Houjin side tried to restore normal production, collect land endowments to support the state, but the results were very small, and it can even be said that in addition to the Han people who were reduced to coatings, they could also be used as cattle to call, When the wealth of the Han people in various places was plundered, so that the entire Liaodong, Liaozhong, and southern Liaoning were left with a group of desperately poor hungry people and broken walls, and the time was still not good, the food gap was still huge, and the people had to continue to rely on silver for imports, the people became a pure burden, not a symbol of national strength.

In history, the five years of the Apocalypse began to indiscriminately slaughter, and when Huang Taiji took over the throne of the Khan, Houjin was already precarious and crumbling, the Han people were almost killed, and if they were not killed, they all ran to the Dongjiang River and Denglai, and the Houjin had to ban the sea to make matters worse, and there was no foreign trade at all, and the Ningjin defense line had Hongyi cannons that led to an increase in the cost of robbery, and there were only two or three hundred thousand Han people left in the territory, and there were more than six million Han people in Liaodong when Nuerhachi raised the army, and when the old slave died in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the Han people were only one-twentieth left.

The numbers are simple, and after the numbers, there is such a naked bloody massacre as in front of them, it is the destruction of families, the loss of the most precious people's lives, and it is the most painful way to kill, people's limbs and heads are severed, blood is dripping, a body with rags is already as thin as wood, they may have been happy and solid farmers, or they may be living a leisurely and prosperous life, or they may be a military household with their hands to be full, and their lives may not be satisfactory. But with parents, a wife, and a family, everything is now ruined.

When Li Mingli put the body of a young child into the pit, he could barely hold on.

When 300,000 Han Chinese were slaughtered in Kaiyuan and Tieling, Li Mingli also saw a more tragic situation, but at that time he was just an orphan and a bachelor, and by this time he already had a wife and was about to have children, and this kind of scene was almost unbearable.

The soldiers with the blue flag and Yu Ding watched the Han people clean everything up, and only then did they rush to the next Guanzhuang under the leadership of Bashiku.

Under the Khan's edict, it must have been another bloody and cruel massacre, and such a massacre happened in every village ruled by the Later Jin, and it also happened in the towns, they killed children, killed women, killed old people, killed all men, and also killed all the intellectual class in the Han people, because Nuerhachi hated the Han people quite hated the Han people, and when Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he hurriedly rescued the Han people's readers, and in the entire vast area ruled by the Later Jin, there were less than 300 people left.

As soon as the guards and Yu Ding left, Li Mingli immediately ran to his house like a desperate man, he crossed the official road, stepped on the shallow snow and ran desperately along the road in the village, his lungs were almost unable to hold on, his breathing could hardly keep up with the speed of running, and there seemed to be someone running behind him, it should also be the Han Qiding who ran home.

Finally saw the familiar gate of the firewood courtyard, saw the small courtyard and the low grass house with one side and two deviations, the chimney of the stove room was still smoking, Li Mingli's lungs were about to explode, and his eyes were black for a while, he had to hold on to the courtyard door and stand in place to breathe slowly.

After half a ring, there was still no movement in the stove, and Li Mingli's heart sank sharply.

Approaching the stove, there is a fragrance inside, the fried fish is placed on the stove, it is almost cold, the big steamer is a smoked pig's head, a burst of tempting aroma comes out, the other two dishes and flat food are almost ready, there is still an ember in the rammed earth stove flickering, but the stove is empty, not even a single figure is seen.

Li Mingli didn't dare to delay, walked directly to the side compartment, pushed the door in, of course there was no one in the room, he walked to the cabinet, there seemed to be traces of movement, and he was a little relieved, and then pushed the cabinet open, reached out at the bottom of the cabinet and touched the handle, and lifted it hard......

"Big girl!"

Li Mingli finally saw a familiar face in the cellar, the eldest girl's face was full of worry and surprise, and the mother-in-law was sitting on the edge of the cellar, her face full of fright and indifference.

"Brother Li, you're back."

"Hmm."

Neither of them is a character with ink, neither a son, nor a young lady who reads poetry and books, at this moment, there are only two simple greetings, but the voice is full of deep affection that only those who survive after the catastrophe can understand.

After pulling the big girl out of the cellar, Li Mingli finally couldn't help but hold the big girl in his arms, hugging the big girl, tears flowing silently on his cheeks.

At this time, Li Mingli felt extremely lucky, and he had a feeling of wanting to shout.

He has already experienced a lot of suffering in the world, but fortunately, God has kept the last hope for him, if the eldest girl is killed at home, Li Mingli doesn't know what kind of thing he will do.

"I know something is wrong when I hear the movement......" The eldest girl watched her husband pull her mother out, the family was a little frightened, she chattered: "I didn't even dare to care about the food on the stove, and immediately pulled the grain into the cellar, and we didn't come in for a while to hear someone outside coming in to search for people, we didn't even dare to breathe, and then people turned around a few times and didn't see anyone and left, and we didn't dare to come out, until you came to open the cover." ”

"Well done, well done." Li Mingli said repeatedly: "Fortunately, you hid in time, otherwise something would likely have happened." said that it was to catch the people without grain, and those Yu Ding were all red-eyed, and they would use the knife if there was a slight mistake, who knows if there would be an accident. ”

The big girl nodded again and again, and her pretty face was full of expressions of joy and fear.

Li Mingli said: "The cellar is useful, but it is still not secret enough, I have to find a way to make a bigger and more secret, it is better to fill it with some food and water......"

Neither woman objected this time.

Bursts of suppressed crying erupted outside, most of the Jurchen men had already left the village, and most of the Jurchen people who had seen the excitement had also returned to the Jurchen settlement, and the Han people could finally cry quietly.

Li Mingli followed the sound and walked out to see that almost the entire village of Han banners was outside, and some Han people had been reduced to the clothing of Jurchen households, and they didn't even have the right to come out and cry a few times.

"There are nine families left." The eldest girl looked out with a miserable expression, including Li Mingli, there were only nine households left in the Han Qiding and the original Han army, and the large villages with more than 60 Ding and more than 100 households were really not one in ten after the massacre.

"We're going to live well." Li Mingli took the eldest girl's hand, and he didn't dare to let go of it.

"Live well...... the eldest girl sobbed, "It's the New Year, let's go back for the New Year." ”

The distant Guanzhuang may not have been slaughtered, I don't know which family of children set off a small string of firecrackers, the crackling firecrackers are not real, it seems that there are still children's cheers, in the sound of firecrackers, the four years of the apocalypse have finally passed.
