VIII. Mao Wenlong Courting Death (2)
After the Battle of Linpan, Mao Wenlong used Pi Island, Tie Mountain, and Kuanluo Mountain as his base to recruit refugees from Liaodong. He used the old and the weak as farmers and the strong as soldiers. From scratch, he gradually developed into a strong overseas force. In the sixth month of the second year of the Tianqi era (1622), the Ming court officially appointed Mao Wenlong as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Pingliao, with the seal of the former General of the Expedition of Conquering Prisoners, to guard Dongjiang.
There was a saying in modern times, "vote with your feet." Liaodong originally had five to six million Han people, which made up the majority of the population. After the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty established their rule in Liaodong, they deliberately divided the people into several classes, so that the Zhu Shen of the Eight Banners, who had a lower position in the Eight Banners group, had a higher status than the Han people. That was to say, the Han people were like cattle and sheep, while the Banners were like wolfdogs. The cattle and sheep could not escape from being enslaved by the wild boar skin. The wolfdogs were actually the dog slaves of the aristocratic group with the wild boar skin. In fact, they were essentially no different from cattle and sheep. However, cattle and sheep and wolfdogs hated each other and killed each other. The aristocratic group of Later Jin covered their mouths and secretly laughed.
Of course, I, Quan Qing, will not tell the truth. After Mao Wenlong attacked Zhenjiang, Boar Skin ordered the Han people near Zhenjiang to move away. At the same time, he ordered Zhu Shen (i.e. Zhu Shen of the Eight Banners) to live with the Han people.
Tianming sixth year, November
On the twenty-second day, the Khan issued an imperial edict, saying, "Previously I ordered the Shen people and the Han people to live together in one camp, to share grain and feed their livestock with fodder. The people of Shen are not allowed to oppress the Han people, they are not allowed to rob the Han people. If the Han people come to sue for plunder, they will be punished. Han people, you must not fabricate a story out of thin air. If the rumor is fabricated and the two parties confront each other face to face and prove it to be a forgery, the punishment will be heavier. The Zhushens and the Han people were all Khans. The Khan taught with his golden mouth that the Zhushens and the Han people were one and the same, and that they should live on righteousness. If there is anyone who disobeys and goes against these words and commits a crime, then their crime will be aggravated and they will only have themselves to blame. Zhu Shen and Han people are not allowed to waste money or buy or sell grain. If anyone is found to be buying or selling grain, they will be punished. When it was time to open the grain cellar, the Zhushens and the Han men joined hands to open it. Every month the Han people and the Zhushen give the Han four buckets of grain. "
What a blissful "Royal Road of Paradise"! On the surface, there was nothing wrong with the words, 'Zhishen people must not oppress the Han people', 'Han people must not fabricate rumors'. But whether it was the Zhishen people who oppressed the Han people, or the Han people who fabricated the rumors, 'after the two parties confronted each other face to face', would depend on the wild boar's skin bureaucrat.
The most important point was: "Zhushen, Han people are not allowed to waste money or buy or sell grain. If anyone is found to be buying or selling grain, they will be punished." They were not allowed to buy or sell grain.
Hmm, there's something even worse — — "The Han people and the Zhushens give four buckets of grain to the Han people every month". Do you know what this means? The famine was right in front of them! Originally the Han people were living well, but when the wild boar skins came along, they were moved away. For the sake of convenience, they let Zhu Shen live with them, making it easier for them to enslave and monitor them. Then they looted the Han people's grain and distributed it accordingly. They even said it very nicely, "Do not hide the grain, report the number of stone buckets. After reporting, take into account the population of Zhishen, give four buckets of grain to each person every month until the ninth month, and return the rest to the grain owner. "… …
If your family has grain, I'll take it from you and only give you rations. I'll return the rest to you in the ninth month of next year — — how can there be any left? The Eight Banners of the wild boar skins are the minority version of the House of Generals. They are the most violent, the most backward, and also the most corrupt. With this kind of system, it would be strange if there wasn't a famine. I originally thought that the large-scale famine would occur around the fifth year of the Tianqi era, but I didn't expect that the root of the problem would appear at the end of the first year of the Tianqi era, around the time of Mao Wenlong's attack on Zhenjiang.
Ever since this kind of evil rule was established, it caused great panic among the Han people and caused them to flee. Whether it was Liaoxi or Dongjiang, they all welcomed wave after wave of refugees. Lao Liu estimated that in the third year of the Tianqi era, one-third to half of the Liao people at that time had fled. Today, Mr. Yan Chongnian claimed that the wild boar skins had "Ten Great Achievements", including the unification of the Jurchen tribes, the unification of the northeast region, the formulation of the Manchu language, the establishment of the Eight Banners system, the promotion of the formation of the Manchu people, the establishment of the Later Jin regime, the rich military experience, the formulation of the policy of comforting Mongolia, the promotion of social reform, the decision to move the capital to Shenyang … However, millions of Han people in Liaodong could not feel how great Mr. Yan Chongnian's so-called "Ten Great Achievements" were — — just like Yuan Hei could not imagine how great Yuan Chonghuan, the "national hero" appointed by Mr. Yan Chongnian to the Han people, was.
Therefore, a considerable number of millions of Liao people voted with their feet under the call of the "Ten Great Achievements" of the wild boar skins. A large number of people fled, and the population of Dongjiang Town of Mao Wenlong soared.
While the Han people of Liaodong were fleeing, the Han people of Liaodong who didn't flee also frequently attacked the Jurchen Zhushen who were wearing wild boar skins. At first, they poisoned them, and then they "bought cudgels". They used cudgels, the most primitive weapon, to beat the bandits. The resistance of the bandits had always been so weak, but they could torment the ferocious bandits.
Over the years, there were many dramas related to the Kang Ri. Most of the propaganda agencies exaggerated the achievements of the resistance, making people think that guerrilla warfare was so easy. However, intentionally or unintentionally, they ignored the huge sacrifice behind the achievements — — Using primitive weapons such as sticks to fight against the Locust Army, oh, no, Taijun of the Eight Banners, who were armed to the teeth, how could the sacrifice be small? The desperate resistance inevitably led to the revenge and massacre of the Taijun of the Eight Banners. These alien bandits did not care about the law and evidence. They directly killed the innocent, causing greater panic, escape, and more intense resistance. Then, the Taijun of the Eight Banners slaughtered and retaliated, and so on.
In the past few years, Mao Wenlong had been very active. Opening the first volume of the electronic version of Manwen Oldtime and searching for the word "Mao Wenlong", including the contents, there were 111 searches. Basically, all of them were about Mao Wenlong's failed attacks and Mao Wenlong's spies were captured. Anyway, Mao Wenlong's failures were all recorded, and there was almost no record of Mao Wenlong's successes.
However, history could not be covered up by the wild boar skins bandits. Manwen Oldtime could not record the various failures of the nobles of the Later Jin Dynasty, but it could not cover the crimes they committed when they failed to enslave the Han people in Liaodong and establish the puppet regime. They forcibly moved the Han people to the place where the Dongjiang Army was most active, slaughtered the Han people in the most active area, and forced the rest of the Han people to move away, creating a large area of no man's land, so that the Dongjiang Army's guerrilla warfare could not get the support of the Liao people.

Old Six was too lazy to quote these contents. He just copied the contents of Manwen Oldtime that were related to the migration of the Han people in Liaodong. Just by looking at the contents, one could tell that the ancient version of the "Group Tribes" was built with wild boar skin. Hundreds of years later, the Locust Army also followed the example of wild boar skin and built "Group Tribes" in Northeast and North China (also known as the "People Circle" in Chinese). As for the Chinese people who appeared outside of the "Group Tribes", they were directly treated as guerrillas by the Locust Army and could be killed at will.
Another twenty years passed. The United States, the torch of civilization, the lighthouse of freedom, the engine of progress, and the hope of mankind, became the grand-disciple of wild boar skin. They also learned this trick from the Locust Army and built "Strategic Villages" in Vietnam. Outside the Strategic Villages was a "Free Fire Zone". The Vietnamese who appeared in the "Free Fire Zone" were treated as pro-North Vietnamese guerrillas and could be killed at will. The United States also thought that the Vietnamese jungle was too dense and affected the effect of the massacre, so they used planes to spray defoliate. No one counted how many Vietnamese people were poisoned, but many of the American soldiers suffered from the Vietnam War Syndrome.
Now, the reason for the years of famine in the Later Jin area was basically clear — 20% natural disaster, 80%:
The wild boar skin didn't even pay a single tael of silver, but they took the food of the Han people in Liaodong as their own, and then distributed the food according to the population, and they were not allowed to buy or sell the food. Just this alone was enough to cause a famine. This was not enough. The wild boar skin forced many Han people in the areas where the Dongjiang army was active to move away from the Construction Group Tribes, causing a large amount of arable land to be abandoned, and the Han people had a serious shortage of arable land.
After Wang Huazhen was defeated in Guangning, the Han people in Liaoxi Corridor were also taken back by the wild boar skin. Liaoxi Corridor became an open space, used by the Mongolian tribes to graze. At the same time, the population density of the Later Jin people increased further, and the Han people's arable land became even more scarce.
Below the 80% natural disaster, Liaodong was greatly affected during the Little Ice Age. The temperature dropped, the annual farming time was reduced, and the food production was reduced. As a result, the wild boar skin won consecutive military victories, but at the same time, the economy collapsed. Liaodong, which was supposed to be "beating the roe deer and ladle the fish, and the pheasants flew into the rice pot", was sold at the price of drugs.
Interestingly, while the wild boar skin was messing around, it also stepped on Wanli's foot:
Tianming sixth year, ninth month, 25th.
The Khan submitted a letter: "The Ming Emperor Wanli's laws and regulations were not clear, and he condoned the eunuchs to amass the people's wealth. A group of officials served the Emperor, amassing wealth and sickening the people. He also crossed the border to help a foreign country, and was punished by Heaven. But our politics and regulations were righteous, blessed by Heaven, and the Ming Emperor Hedong and Liaodong were under me. Now all the Han people in Shenyang are under the rule of one Khan! I moved here in the old Zhushen, do not treat the Han people as foreign people, do not rob their food and clothing, do not steal their boar chickens. If you are guilty of stealing, and I show mercy to you, won't I abandon my righteous heart? I will punish you according to the law. Those who deserve to be killed will be killed, and those who deserve to be punished will be punished! If you do evil, once you are executed, then our old Zhushen will be punished again, and we will be forced to build a city and work. Won't we be pitiful in front of the people? Now you have salt to eat, and cotton to wear. If your livelihood is not related to other things, how can you have such dignity? "
The Wise Khan of the fake Great Empire made the Han people of Liaodong compare his Khan's paradise with the fake Ming, deeply exposing how dark the Pig Ming tyrant Wanli's anti-Dongtong rule was, and bragging about how happy the Liao people living in the Khan's paradise were — Old Khan, you are so funny! In the next few years, when the Liaodong Co-Prosperity Circle sold food at the price of drugs, I wonder if the wild boar skin would still have the face to brag like this.
Eight, Mao Wenlong's Way of Courting Death (III) From Beginning to End (II)
Damn it, the word "end" is the character for a nuclear crab. Draw a circle and greet Baidu ten thousand times.
About how the wild boar skin maintained his bandit group during the years of famine in the area he ruled, it was a long account. It was very wordy, and Laoliu was tired of writing it. Perhaps it was hard for the reader to read it. So, Laoliu tried to pick out the important parts and said:
In the seventh year of Tianming, the first month
On the fourteenth. … On that day, Mao Wenlong was robbed, and ten thousand people were captured. Half of the prisoners were given to the soldiers, and the other half was given to the Commandant, the officials below the Commander of the Army, and those above the Garrison. He also gave the Mongolians a hundred horses, two mules, and one cow.
It can be seen that the Liao people voted with their feet and went to Mao Wenlong, and then the Eight Banners Taijun went to Mao Wenlong and snatched ten thousand people back. Then the wild boar skin let the Eight Banners Taijun divide half of the prisoners, and gave the other half to the officials of the Later Jin.
Originally, the frequent attacks in Dongjiang Town, the fierce resistance and escape of the Han people, and the wild boar skin's messing around, the economy of the Later Jin had begun to have problems. At this moment, the wild boar skin kept complaining that the traitors were corrupt and unreliable, "You people do not seek to repay the Khan's kindness, do not do things properly, and are only greedy for money. Now you Han people can no longer be trusted. "At this critical moment, the Liaoxi Corridor dropped the ball and was robbed by the wild boar skin.
In the second year of the Tianqi era, Guangning suffered a crushing defeat. Not only did the Ming side suffer heavy losses, but the Liaoxi Corridor was also violently demolished by the wild boar skin. There was another important matter that must be mentioned: the right village where Xiong Tingbi was stationed (here again) was robbed of 500,000 dans of military provisions (during the 'great victory' in Ningyuan, the right village was robbed of 300,000 dans of military provisions) – the Zhu family was really rich.
Old Man Wen's record was: "The number of rice stored in the right village: 421,130 dans of old rice five buckets and two liters, 15,020 dans of millet seven buckets and one liter. 54,320 dans of black beans one buckets and one liter, 13,210 dans of sorghum five buckets and three liters, a total of 53,681 dans of grain seven buckets and seven liters. "
This was a rotten world. When the Liao people ran away, the Later Jin caught a group of them and brought them back. Here, a group of Han people ran to the other side of Dongjiang River, and on the other side, Liaoxi Corridor caught another group of Han people. Seeing that the food was almost finished, the right village snatched back 500,000 dans of military provisions …
In the seventh year of the Tianming era, the wild boar skin was badly battered by the fierce resistance of the Han people and the frequent attacks of the Mongols. He ordered the Zhu Shen to travel in groups of more than ten people, and those who did not have ten people would be fined.
Book 39, the seventh year of the Tianming era, the third month.
On the eleventh day …
On that day an imperial edict was issued: "The Zhu Shen, Han and Mongols, three countries have joined forces, but the rogues and thieves of the three countries have no fear. In the Phoenix area, the Han people saw that there were not many herders, so they killed them with sticks. In the Gaizhou area, the number of people was counted. Because they sent too few people, two people, Wuli Kan and Nazibu Niulu, were killed by the Han people. Three people from the Shanyan Island went to Guangning and were killed by the Mongols from the Wuluote country. Four families from the Jinzhou area were killed by the people from the Gaizhou area. Henceforth, the number of travelers must not be too few, they must travel in groups of ten people. In this way, the rogues and thieves will not dare to have murderous thoughts. If the number of people in a group is less than ten, but nine people travel together, arrest them on sight. The fine is nine qian of silver, eight qian of silver, seven qian of silver, one qian of silver, five qian of silver. "
Book 40, the seventh year of the Tianming era, the third month, the 25th day of the Tianming era, the local authorities were ordered to track down the 'fugitives'. Those who caught the fugitives would be rewarded with half of the money they had on them. Those who hid the fugitives would be punished by the bodyguards:
Book 40, the seventh year of the Tianming era, the third month – the fourth month.
(March 25)
On that day an imperial edict was issued: "According to what we know, there are people who have been counted, who are not obeying the rules, who are not in their own villages, and who are running away to other villages. Those who disobey orders are the ones who are running away. This kind of people who are in chaos will be arrested and delivered to us. If the person who is running away brings a hundred taels of silver, take fifty taels and give it to the person who caught it. If there is one tael, take five qian and give it to the person who caught it. If there is one qian, take five qian and give it to the person who caught it. If the officials know about the people who are running away and allow them to stay, the officials will be punished accordingly. If the local centurion knows about the people who are running away and allows them to stay, the centurion will be punished accordingly. Why are the people who have been counted sent to other villages? If they are running away, why are they not investigated? If the people who have been counted from other villages come, why are they not investigated and returned to their owners? If they are not investigated in this way, what is the use of setting up centurions, thousand-commanders, and all the officials, big and small, for what purpose? If the people who have gone from the east of the river to the west of the river have returned, the local leaders will write down their numbers and the number of males who have come to our department. If the people of Guangning from the west of the river have not gone to the designated place, if the new relatives know about it, they must not hide them. They must be found by the local leaders and handed over to the Guangning officials. If they are found to be hiding and not delivering them, the local leaders and centurion will be punished accordingly with heavy crimes. The official cattle of the Fu Khan must be raised by twenty people, and the cost of raising the cattle will be paid by the original owner. "
The people of Liaodong used poison to create a terrorist attack, thereupon the wild boar's skin ordered that the owners of shops must use their real names, and those who buy food must remember the name of the owner of the shop, so that if the case of poisoning was discovered, it could be investigated.
Volume 41: Tian Ming, the seventh year, April – June
On the fifteenth day of the sixth month, the imperial edict was issued: "All the people of Shen and Han who open shops must carve the name of the owner of the shop on a stone or on a piece of wood, and put it in front of the shop. If the name of the owner is not written clearly, it will be punished accordingly. Those who do not have a shop and recklessly carry goods to sell are prohibited. Those who do not have a shop and recklessly carry goods to sell, thinking that they will not be caught, they will use more drugs to poison people. In particular, we must instruct our Shen women and children to remember the name of the owner of the shop when they buy food. If they do not remember, you will be poisoned and die. Although there will be suspicions, who will you speak to? The Shen and Han people are all people of the same Khan, everyone has goods to sell, why do you seize other people's goods? Those who seize, if seen by the Shen, will be held by the Shen, if seen by the Han, will be held by the Han. Those who resist arrest and escape, whether it is the Shen or the Han, will assist in apprehending them. Those who capture them will be rewarded accordingly. "
The wild boar's skin's' Ten Great Merits' in Liaodong caused the people of Liaodong to run out of money. Twenty percent natural disaster, eighty percent war, the Han people's living environment was simply hell on earth. The wild boar's skin did not allow the Han people who did not live with the Shen to sell their grain directly, but forced them to buy the Han people's grain at a low price (and then sell it himself at a high price): "The rich who have grain, offer the grain they sell to the Khan, and pay a small price. If they do not deliver it, and are reported, their grain will be confiscated, and they will be executed."
The funny thing is, when the wild boar's skin had just occupied a large territory in Liaodong, he said: "The Wanli Emperor's law is not clear, he connives the eunuchs, amasses the people's wealth. The officials serve the Emperor, amasses wealth and sickens the people … "Not long after, he turned the fertile and fertile Liaodong into a hell on earth where the price of grain was sold at drugs. I originally thought that in the next few years, when the Liaodong Co-Prosperity Circle's grain was sold at drug prices, I don't know if the wild boar's skin would still have the cheek to boast like this. I didn't expect that the wild boar's skin, on the one hand, was issuing this bandit policy, on the other hand, he blamed the food shortage on the Wanli Emperor, saying:" The people are working hard, it is not my fault, it is the Wanli Emperor's fault. "This shamelessness …
Book 47 Tianming, eighth year, third month.
On the twentieth day, it snowed.
The Khan sent a letter to the Han people, saying: "The people are working hard, it is not my fault, it is the Wanli Emperor's fault. The Wanli Emperor interfered in a foreign country that had nothing to do with him, he was punished by the Heaven, and the Wanli Emperor died. The Heaven was afraid that the people did not know about his death, so the Wanli Emperor's son, the Taichang Emperor, died in less than a month. The Ming Emperor was punished by the Heaven, his father and son died, his ministers were killed, and his land was occupied. Because of the Wanli Emperor's evil deeds, the Han people are suffering. The Heaven sees me as the right, and the Ming Emperor grants the land of Liaodong. Now that we are in the land granted by the Heaven, even if the Han people around Liaodong are to live together with the Shen, grain is to be eaten together, the fields are to be cultivated separately. Our Shen's huts are to give the grain to the migrating Han people. This is the year when the immigrants of this country are suffering, those who have not lived together with the Shen, how can you sell grain? The rich people who have grain, offer the grain they sell to the Khan, and pay a small price. If they do not deliver it, and are reported, their grain will be confiscated, and they will be executed. "
Perhaps the people of Liaodong did not understand whether the famine in Liaodong was caused by the wild boar's skin, or whether it was the 'Heaven's Wrath' of the Wanli Emperor, who had been dead for several years, who had committed a perverse act — even if they understood, they might not dare to say it.
But the people of Liaodong knew one thing: at present, Liaodong was suffering from a famine. In the ninth month of this year, which was also the time for the autumn harvest, grain was still sold at a high price of one tael of grain:
Book 59 Tianming, eighth year, ninth month.
Allocating grain to the Han people outside the border who have no grain …
Zhu Beilei said, "The Han people outside the border who have no grain can go to the granaries of Dongjing, Haizhou, Yaozhou, and Gaizhou to buy grain. One big battle for one tael of silver. For fear that they will not go out to plough the fields, during the period of buying and transporting grain, they will first borrow money from the people who have grain, and when they get back the grain they bought, they will repay them.
It must be known that one big battle for one tael of silver, one stone is ten taels. Under normal circumstances, one stone of grain sold for one tael of silver is already quite expensive. In Shaanxi, one stone of grain sold for six taels to twelve taels, Li Zicheng and the others rebelled.
When there was a famine, there was nothing to eat, they had to flee the famine. Not only the people of Liaodong, the whole of China and even the whole world understood this principle — when there was a famine, if they did not flee the famine, were they going to starve to death?
Thereupon, the records of the Liaodong people fleeing the famine continued one after another:
The 26th …
Chao Huo Nuoyi, together with Yongshun Niu Lu's subordinates, went to Xiuyan to urge the government to collect grain. The Han people of Xiuyan were tied up, carrying a carriage and defected. Seeing that our troops were stationed strictly, they unexpectedly killed them, the Han people returned to the mountain. The companions who went with them, the Han people who were in charge of the village, pierced their ears and noses, and took their confessions. The confessed killers had already climbed the mountain. In order to investigate the Han people who killed them, they killed ten of them.
Book 48, Tianming, the eighth year of the third month, to the fourth month.
The sixth of the fourth month …
Deputy General Leng Geli led Bai Yala and four hundred men to guard the border of Korea. They captured one hundred and thirteen people, twenty-eight horses, five cows, five mules, four donkeys, and two hundred and fifty taels of silver. They distributed the two hundred and fifty taels of silver to Bai Yala and the others.
Perhaps Wild Boar Skin could not stand the Han people fleeing one after another, thereupon he sent his grandson-in-law, the Prince Consort of Fushun, the hardcore traitor Li Yongfang, to propagate the Khan's Paradise:
The twelfth …
Prince Consort Li said, "You people from all over the south, why did you defect and flee? You do not know the good and evil of Zhushen Khan. It was not because Emperor Wanli instigated Eunuch Gao to demand silver. After we obtained Liaodong, we did not touch the houses you live in, the fields you farm, each of you live in peace. Because the people living along the South Sea listened to Mao Wenlong's instigation and killed our people, we ordered them to migrate. Because you people defected, we ordered them to migrate. If we do not give them food, how can they eat dirt? Because the migrating people have no food, we took it and gave it to them. The suffering of migration is only for one year, how can we suffer every year? Zhushen Khan and Emperor Ming fought, whoever wins will sit on the victorious Khan and live in peace. You are not a soldier, nor are you a civil or military official, you are just a common people, what crime did you commit? You abandoned your homeland, your houses, your fields, and fled, who will give you land and houses? "The Prince Consort of Fushun took this letter and went to Fu Prefecture and Gai Prefecture.
However, the propaganda effect of the Khan's Paradise did not seem to be very good. Not only did the Han people flee, they also resisted fiercely:
Chao and Nuo went to collect the grain of the Han people living along the south road. Because the people they sent with them were killed by the Han people.
…
Ba Da of the Wei River went to collect grain. When he found out that the people of Gaer Hall had defected, he secretly chased after them and killed the Qianzong sent by Mao Wenlong to instigate him. Therefore he was promoted to General, gave him ten taels of silver, wore a red python satin robe, and gave a thousand and five hundred Han people. The Qianzong and four others who went with him were given the position of Imperial Guard, and were given five hundred Han people. As for the five hundred men who were given to the Imperial Guard, because of the above reasons, another five hundred men were given. If they rendered meritorious service, they would be given more.
Seeing that not only the Han people were fleeing, but their resistance was getting more and more intense, the wild boar skins were increasing, the Han people's guard was also getting more and more severe. They began to restrict the weapons that the Han people and the Han army could use:
On the sixth day of the fourth month, the Imperial Edict was issued: "Han soldiers and common people, as long as they have bows, arrows, sabers, guns, cannons, and other military equipment, they must deliver them to the respective officials within twenty days. Those who do not deliver after twenty days will be beheaded and will be punished with a heavy crime. Han craftsmen are prohibited from selling bows, arrows, sabers, spears, and other military equipment. After ten days, if they sell, they will be punished by the seller, if they buy, they will be punished by the buyer. Everyone is ordered to deliver the military equipment within twenty days, and submit a memorial to the respective officials.
Under the high pressure, there was an even more intense resistance. The wild boar skins of the 'Zhushen' were repeatedly invited by the Han people to drink and then killed. In those days when there was a famine, those who still had the money to buy drinks must be rich people. Moreover, they must have been obedient people for quite a period of time. It was even possible that they had some degree of cooperation with the Later Jin regime. Even these rich people began to kill the 'Zhushen', it can be seen how intense the conflict was:
Book 49 – Tian Ming, eighth year, fourth month
23. Issue an edict to the garrison troops and the people of Tai not to associate with the Han people …
On the twenty-third day, the edict was issued to the garrison troops and the people of Tai, saying: "The Han people who fled south of Gai Prefecture belonging to Yi Lei Shen made friends with the Zhushen, three of Ha Ha Na Niu Lu's Tai officers. They tricked them into their homes and killed them. Another seven people stationed in a certain place went to a Han friend's house to drink medicinal wine, and all of them died. Another five people stationed in a certain place were brought to a Han friend's house by a Han friend. They got them drunk and killed them. The Han friend abandoned them and fled. All the Zhushen stationed in Tai, all the foot soldiers, horsemen and sentries stationed in various places, must not associate with the Han people, must not go to Han people's homes. If you associate with the Han people, go to Han people's homes, you will be punished with a heavy crime. The three people stationed in Ka Lun, the residence of Prince Consort Su 'er, lit a fire and slept. They did not know that the Han people came by boat up the Xiuyan River, so two of them were captured. The one thousand Han people who came by boat were killed by Prince Consort Su 'er, and three of their boats were seized. If there were any sentries like this who lit a fire and slept, they were killed …
Perhaps by this time Wild Boar Skin had also learned to be afraid, but he increased the intensity of his robbery. He issued an order, "Those who have grain and those who carry livestock, must deliver all the grain within a time limit." He also declared, "If you have grain but are not willing to sell it to those who do not have grain, after being reported, you will not give a price and will just take it." By this time, Wild Boar Skin was robbing the east wall to pay the west wall. His idea was still to rob the Han people's grain to fill the hole. Those who did not have grain ran away, but those who had grain were tormented like this, their hearts would certainly waver.
24. Those who have grain and livestock, sell it to those who do not have grain … … 460
Those who have grain and those who carry livestock, must deliver all the grain within a time limit. As for those who do not have grain and livestock, how could the Grand Ministers, Qian Zhang and Bai Zhang not know? If this matter was reported to Prince Consort Li who had already passed away, there was indeed no one who could be spared. Those who have grain but are not willing to sell it to those who do not have grain, after being reported, you will not give a price and will just take it from those who do not have grain. Those who have grain but are not willing to sell it to those who do not have grain, after being reported, you will not give a price and will just take it from those who do not have grain. For those who have migrated and those who have not had grain for a long time, they will be ordered to go to the border to fetch grain, and Zhushen will lead them to fetch it.
In this series of escapes, Mao Wenlong's shadow could be seen everywhere. Wild Boar Skin was also anxious, he ordered to start screening and killing:
27. The people of Tuolan Mountain rebel, the officials along the border investigate the grain … … 461
The 24th …
Yan Geng and Wang Bei reported, "According to Qian Zongzong Yuan Xin, there are more than a hundred people on Tuolan Mountain rebel. We did not believe his words, thereupon we sent Song Jinzhong to investigate. The information was true, we also found out that Mao Wenlong had instigated Jia Da and Jia San, two people, to come and stay in that village. They were planning to leave on the first day of the first month. " Thereupon he ordered the Prince Consort of Fushun to investigate. He also issued an imperial edict, "If the matter is true, and he is a newly relocated person, bring the leader to Tokyo. As for the rest of the lowly people, they were ordered to live with the people in the surrounding granary villages, and they were given fields of grain. If it wasn't for the new move. If they were natives, all the males would be killed and the women and children would be taken as captives.
However, the massacre of the Han people caused not only could not stabilize the situation, but it also caused an even bigger chain reaction. First, there was panic, escape, and resistance. Then, the rich people also panicked, escaped, and resisted. At this moment, even the traitor officials were panicking, and the hearts of the people wavered. They thought that the Wild Boar Skin bandit group was on the verge of collapse, and they began to think of a way out for themselves. Li Yongfang, the Prince Consort of Fushun and a hardcore traitor, is no longer so hardcore. He also tries to persuade Wild Boar Skin to kill less Han people, but he is scolded by Wild Boar Skin.
Book 51 Tian Ming Eight Years and Five Months
13. Tianming Khan reprimands Li Yongfang.
On the seventh day of the first month …
Hearing that the people of Fuzhou wanted to rebel, before dispatching the troops, the Prince Consort of Fushun replied to the Khan, "The rumor that the people of Fuzhou want to rebel is false. It is slander to confuse people. If we believe the rumor and dispatch the troops, the people on the other side will be delighted to hear it. " The Khan was angry at his words; he stroked the Prince Consort's forehead and said, "Li Yongfang, when I was in Fushun, I thought that you are a man of understanding, therefore I accepted you as my wife and gave you flesh and blood of gold. By the Heaven's blessing, I sent troops to Yehe, Hada, Wula, Huifa, and Ming, four routes. As for Fushun, Qinghe, Kaiyuan, Tieling, Shenyang, Liaodong, Guangning, as well as the Mongolian frontier fortress, and other places, they are also blessed by the Heaven's blessing. Regarding this, Li Yongfang did not believe it. Because you did not believe it, you thought that the Ming Emperor had been around for a long time, while I was just a temporary person. The Han people of Liaodong repeatedly wanted to rebel, the secret books kept coming in. Each time I wanted to investigate and confiscate them, because your heart was clear, you tried to deceive me. When you defected, at first your heart was happy, but as soon as you were discovered and executed, your heart was not happy. If you were really loyal, the troops did not trouble, the country did not disturb, your body was under my control, you pacified the defection, destroyed the country and took it. That was my fault, and your advice was credible. You despise me, but I have heard that your Han people's Liu Bang was the Commander of the Huaixia Commandery, who received the Heaven's blessing and became the Han Emperor. Zhao Taizu was a stubborn beggar, who received the Heaven's blessing and became the Emperor, which has been passed down for several generations. Zhu Yuanzhang had no parents, he went begging alone, under the command of Marshal Guo, he also received the Heaven's blessing and became the Emperor, which has been passed down for thirteen, four generations. If you were enlightened, you would see the rivers in Beijing bleed twice, the old trees of various government offices were uprooted by the wind, these are the strange signs of the Heaven, can you dissuade me? Obviously you have failed your father who raised you and your father-in-law. However, now that I have raised you as my son-in-law, and Mongolia, Han, and Korea have all heard about it, if I were to punish you, I am afraid other people would laugh at me, and also laugh at you. Therefore, I will not punish you, and will remain silent. However, my heart is filled with resentment, and this is what I say from the bottom of my heart. "
Not long after, Wild Boar Skin dismissed his own grandson-in-law, Fushun Prince Consort Li Yongfang. Liu Aita (Liu Xingzuo) and the others were also unlucky.
Book 57: Tian Ming, the eighth year, July.
8. Li Yongfang, Dai Mubu and the others were dismissed from their posts, and they were dismissed from their posts.
On the third day …
Fu Shun Prince Consort and Dai Mubu were dismissed from their posts. Ge Aita was dismissed from his post as Deputy General, demoted to General Staff. Ge Ghahai was dismissed from his post as Imperial Guard. He was promoted from guerilla warfare to General Staff.
At this point, under Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town's infiltration and attack on the Later Jin region, and under Wild Boar Skin's own perverse actions, the Great Japanese Acraepoid Army, oh no, the Eight Banners Taijun's Liaodong Maintenance Society and the Yellow Shoes Army system in Liaodong completely collapsed. Wild Boar Skin's strategy of disguising the millions of Han people in Liaodong completely failed. The fertile and fertile Liaodong was turned into a living hell by Wild Boar Skin, where food was sold at the price of drugs. Millions of Han people were once submissive to Wild Boar Skin, but what Wild Boar Skin gave them was a terrible famine. Because of this, the Han people became disloyal to Wild Boar Skin.
To be honest, in this case, Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town played at most a 30% role in destroying the Eight Banners Taijun's strategy of disguising Liaodong. The 70% role was Wild Boar Skin himself, and the Great Japanese Acraepoid Army, oh no, the Eight Banners system that Wild Boar Skin single-handedly built.
Wild Boar Skin's Eight Banners system was originally a version of the House of Generals. One had to know that the House of Generals system itself was a backward economic model. This model used the master-slave system to enslave the various levels of slaves. It might be able to adapt to the nomadic Mongolians and the fishing and hunting Jurchen tribes, and even have a certain amount of combat power. However, the division of labor in management was already quite complicated. The economic system of millions of Han people in Liaodong, which had quite advanced operating rules, was bound to be in big trouble.
The Wild Boar's Hide described his social system in this way: 'The Son of Heaven is the Khan, the son of the Khan is the Minister of Beilei, the son of the Minister of Beilei is the people, the son of the Lord is the slave.' Therefore, 'the people regard the Minister of Beilei as their father, never forgetting their vigilance, never committing robbers, rapists, rapists, rapists, rapists, not violating the law, exerting all their strength, how can disaster befall them?' The slave regards the master as his father and never forgets him. He will not commit any crimes of robbery or rape. He will strictly abide by the division of slave and servant and serve with all his heart. Then, how can he be punished? "From the beginning to the end, there was only the master and the slave. But at that time, in China, the economically developed areas in the south had already developed to the point where capitalism had begun to sprout. Even if Liaodong was a little backward, the slave system of the master was certainly not clear.
Book 44, Heaven's Mandate Year Eight, January to February:
6. The Khan of Destiny's Views on the Way of Being a Ruler, a Minister, and a Slave
On the twenty-seventh day, the Khan went to the yamen and issued an imperial edict to all the high-ranking officials, saying, "The Son of Heaven is the Khan, the son of the Khan is the high-ranking officials, the sons of the high-ranking officials are the people, the sons of the lords are the slaves. Khan regards Heaven as his father, and never forgets it. Clearly cultivating the foundation bestowed by Heaven, then how can Khan's inherited foundation be destroyed? All Bei Lei ministers regard Khan as their father, they will never forget that they must not harbor greed in their hearts, must not be involved in robbers, thieves, rapists, rapists, and violence, they must be loyal to the public; then how can the way of all Bei Lei ministers fail? The people regard Bei Lei ministers as their father, they will never forget that they must not harbor greed in their hearts, must not be involved in robbers, rapists, rapists, and violence, they must be loyal to the public; then how can the way of all Bei Lei ministers fail? The slaves regard Bei Lei ministers as their father, they will never forget that they must not be involved in robbers, rapists, rapists, and violence, they must not violate the law, they must do their best, then how can the calamity come to them? The Khan has received Heaven's grace, but did not obey Heaven's will, relying on his own ability and power, he did not diligently cultivate the way of politics, he went against the natural order. If the Heaven were to punish him, and wanted to abolish his Khan, can the Khan defend his position? The Bei Lei ministers have received Khan's grace, but did not obey Khan's will, relying on their own ability and power, they must have the heart of robbers, rapists, rapists, and violence, they are wantonly greedy and evil. If the Khan were to punish them, then how can the Khan defend his nobility? The people disobeyed the law of all Bei Lei ministers, committing robbers, rapists, rapists, and rebellion; if the Bei Lei ministers were to dispatch them, then the calamity will come to them. The slaves disobeyed the orders of the Bei Lei ministers, they did not respect Heaven's will, they must be involved in robbers, rapists, rapists, and violence, they must be held responsible, then the calamity will come to them. There is a saying in the ancient books: those who rely on virtue will prosper, those who rely on strength will perish. Those who have a heart of loyalty and kindness and lose will not, those who harbor evil thoughts and succeed will also not. Therefore, from top to bottom, those who act with a heart of loyalty and kindness will surely accumulate good fortune. How can there be no good fortune? Those who harbor evil thoughts and do things, their sins will surely accumulate. How can there be no calamity when their sins are great? All Shen, Han, Mongols, should get rid of evil and be loyal and kind. The Khan, the Bei Lei, even the servants of the straw hut, the women carrying water, the calamity will not come from outside, they are all caused by themselves. Why, the Khan and the Bei Lei ministers are the Heaven's will, if they do not cultivate the way of the Tao and do good, to conform to the will of the Heaven and the people's will, they must have the heart of a lowly person, then the Heaven will punish them, their foundation will be destroyed. The Heaven's ministers are the Khan's will, if they do not do what is entrusted to them, they must be loyal and diligent, they must have the heart of Ye Pi, then the Khan must be held responsible, his body will be ruined. The servants of the straw hut, the women carrying water, if they do not disobey their master, they must be held responsible, then the Khan must be held responsible. If they do not do their best and disobey, their master will be angry, then they must be held responsible. As the saying goes, the calamity of mortals is all caused by themselves, this is it! "
One must know that the army of the early Ming Dynasty also followed the model of the family of generals, but in the system of the Ming Dynasty, the family of generals only controlled the army, not the civil system. The backward nature of the family of generals was limited to the military system. Even so, this was because Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di had great ability, they could control the situation. But not long after they died, the military system began to have various problems. After the military families became serfs, a large number of them fled, and the military system's combat power was seriously reduced. Boar Skin's Liaodong was just a repeat of history — plus, Boar Skin treated the family of generals as his whole political power, so the damage he caused was many times more serious.
What was worse was that Boar Skin's personal quality and ability were far inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. Several measures taken by Boar Skin: not allowing the Han people to sell food, buying food from the Han people at a low price and selling it at a high price, forcing the Han people to live together, causing a large amount of farmland to be abandoned, and a series of measures, pushed the already messy economy to destruction.
What was even more painful was that the traitor officials who worked for the Later Jin regime did not even care about their ancestors, and it was even more impossible for them to follow the requirements of the Holy Books to be honest — it must be known that when Zhu Yuanzhang killed the officials, he was so vicious that he could "peel off the skin and grass". Even so, Zhu Yuanzhang was still not satisfied, and Boar Skin was not popular, so he had no choice but to use these traitors who had no bottom line. Therefore, these people colluded with a considerable number of "Zhu Shen", using the power of Boar Skin and the Eight Banners to fill their own pockets, which further aggravated the severity of the famine.
Eight, Mao Wenlong's Method of Courting Death (III) From Beginning to End (II)
The economy collapsed, and food was sold at the price of drugs. The disguise of the millions of Han people in Liaodong had failed, and the Han people in Liaodong, who were close to running out of food, only had eyes for the Great Japanese Army, oh no, the Eight Banners Taijun. The construction of the Liaodong Co-Prosperity Sphere had failed, and the Han officials of all levels had been infiltrated by Dongjiang Town. Even if they did not plan to rebel, they were still in a panic, and some like Liu Aita (Liu Xingzuo) were even secretly planning a way out for him. These Han officials were no longer loyal to him, and the only difference was whether they would rebel immediately, or wait and see for a while.
According to Boar Skin's original ambition, he only needed two to three hundred thousand Jurchen Zhu Shen and tens of thousands of "Iron Cavalry" of the Eight Banners to defeat the behemoth Ming Dynasty. Once he finished digesting the fruit of victory in Liaodong, he would establish a Maintenance Society, enslave five to six million Han people, and raise 300,000 Yellow Shoe soldiers according to the model of 20 people to raise an army. The Great Japanese Empire, oh no, I, Quan Qing, would be able to sweep across China, destroy the old Zhu family, and establish a King's Way of Paradise, oh no, a Khan's Way of Paradise …
Dreams were plentiful, but reality was harsh. Damn Mao Wenlong, always making trouble for him, damn Han people of Liaodong refused to be his dog slaves, and when he was not careful, more than half of them ran away, and the rest were starving. The Liao people who were close to running out of food were time bombs that could pick up sticks and fight at any time — the moment the Liao people ran out of food was the moment they would explode. If Liaodong was a piece of dry grass when Mao Wenlong attacked Zhenjiang in the first year of the Tianqi era, then Liaodong was a powder keg that could explode at any time. One careless move, and the Eight Banners Taijun would be blown into pieces.
In the fourth or fifth year of the Tianqi era, it was the time when the Liao people in the Later Jin rebelled and fled the most fiercely. It was also at this time that Mao Wenlong proposed to "restore Liaodong in the second year", "and asked for a meeting to borrow money to help. As for the new troops in Tianjin and Denglai, I definitely can't abandon my riders and board the boats. It's better to withdraw all of them and use their pay in the east. Every year, a million taels will be set and shipped to Xian in time. In the second year, if I can't stop Liaodong from destroying the slaves, restore the old business of Sanhan, and relieve Your Majesty's worry about the east, I will be punished with the crime of deceiving Your Majesty, and I will gladly endure it. "
As an ancient person, Mao Wenlong could keenly judge that the Later Jin was about to be finished based on the situation at that time. He had to admit that he was a genius in strategy. Unfortunately, he was even more of a political idiot.
Look at this sentence: "As for the new troops in Tianjin and Denglai, I definitely can't abandon my riders and board the boats. It's better to withdraw all of them and use their pay in the east. Every year, a million taels will be set." How many civil officials, generals, and even eunuchs' interests did you touch? Every troop means a certain amount of rations and benefits. You want to withdraw the "newly established troops in Tientsin and Denglai", and you also want to "use their rations in the east to set a sum of one million every year"? Caterpillar, your table manners are too ugly!
Just based on this, it was impossible for the plan of "restoring Liaodong in two years" to be approved. Moreover, once the Later Jin was destroyed, the old Zhu family would no longer continue to collect Liaodong's pay. This wasn't just the small amount of money for the new troops in Tianjin and Denglai. It involved Liaodong's pay, which was said to be six to seven million taels a year, but was actually more than 20 million taels! Thief, you're courting death!!!
Therefore, we will find that it was during this period that the relationship between Mao Wenlong and Yuan Keli deteriorated. The two of them went from close cooperation to mutual impeachment. In the end, Yuan Keli was transferred away and replaced by Wu Zhiwang, an academic authority in gynecology. Wu Zhiwang was really an academic authority in medicine, specializing in gynecology. His relationship with Mao Wenlong was even worse.
No one paid attention to the plan of "restoring Liaodong in two years", so the wild boar skin got precious time to linger on. Let's turn our attention back to Liaodong. Let's see what the wild boar skin has done.
Book 53 Tian Ming, the eighth year of the fifth to the sixth month.
The Great Bei Lei and the others led troops to pursue those who fled … … 503
On the ninth day of the sixth month, hearing that the people of Fuzhou had rebelled, the Great Bei Lei, Zhai Sang Gu Tai Ji, Ah Ji Ge, Duoduo Tai Ji, and Shuotuo Tai Ji were ordered to lead fifteen armored soldiers to advance. He also issued a letter saying, "Hearing that the people of Fuzhou had rebelled, we mobilized the troops. If you mention the traitors, your lives will not be harmed. Otherwise, we will kill them all. Then we will screen them according to this letter, so that the people who have not reported will be in one place, and the people who have reported will be in another place. After they are separated into four places, the Great Bei Lei will monitor them. "The Great Bei Lei led twenty thousand troops to screen the people of Fuzhou and kill them. (Original note: Kill the people of this place and scatter them, so that they are divided into many places.)
Book 54 Tian Ming, the eighth year of the sixth month.
The Great Bei Lei and the others returned with the captives … … 505
On the ninth day of the sixth month, hearing that the people of Fuzhou had rebelled, the Great Bei Lei, Zhai Sang Gu Tai Ji, Duoduo Tai Ji, Shuotuo Tai Ji, and Ah Ji Ge were ordered to lead fifteen armored soldiers to advance. Because the rebellion was true, they killed all the men, took their wives, cows and horses as captives, and arrived on the twenty-eighth day.
Don't think that it was bloody, because right now they only killed the people of Fuzhou, 'killed all the men, took their wives, cows and horses as captives,' they did not kill much in other places. In the meantime, the wild boar skin still wanted to maintain the situation as much as possible. Around the autumn harvest this year, he sold grain to the Han people who had no grain at all, at the price of 'one big dou, one tael'. By the first month of the ninth year of Tianming, he ordered the Zhu Shen and Han people to close all the pawnshops, to prevent the common people's property from being stolen and taken to the pawnshops to be exchanged for silver.
Book 59, Tianming, eight years, nine months.
The grain was sold to the Han people who had no grain at the border. … … 558
The seventh day of the seventh month …
The Great Bei Lei said, "The Han people who have no grain at the border can go to the granaries of Dongjing, Haizhou, Yaozhou, and Gaizhou. One big dou, one tael of silver. For fear that they will not be able to plough the fields, during the period of grain buying and transporting, we will first borrow from the people who have grain, and when we get back the grain we bought, we will repay them. All the officials of the Zhu Shen and Han people who have grain may borrow from the Han people who have no grain in those places. "
Book 60, Tianming, nine years, first month.
4. Ordering the pawnshops to be closed, prohibiting the use of silver to lend money and the sale of livestock … 571
On the third day of the first month, a letter was sent, "Receiving the Khan's order: Zhu Shen and Han people are ordered to close all the pawnshops. Giving money as pawns is bound to cause thieves and evildoers to steal other people's clothes and run away with the money. This is not what your pawnshop owners want. In addition, the use of silver to lend money is also ordered to stop. The money lenders are given until the tenth day of the first month to collect the money, if they do not pay, they will be prosecuted. After the tenth day, the money will be collected by those who are in the know. Also, all those who sell horses, cows, mules, donkeys, sheep, goats, geese, ducks, chickens, must sell them to their own people. Those who sell other people's goods for profit, once discovered, will be prosecuted by the examiner and the trafficker, and the goods sold will be taken by the examiner. All those who sell livestock will be taxed in two taels, one tael of tax is one qian, the tax collector takes two portions, the cattle record, Zhang Jing the agent takes one portion. The Han people's tax will be taken by the Imperial Household and the Han people's thousand people. The livestock brought by the Mongols will be sold by the Mongols, the shopkeepers are not allowed to resell it, the tax collector will take two portions, the shopkeepers will take one portion. Why is it like this, there are cattle thieves and peddlers in Gay Street, the country's thieves will rise. " The order was very true, but the tax was too heavy, therefore it was reduced from the year Tiancong Khan ascended the throne, one tael to three portions.
Wild Boar Leather probably thought that by not killing the Han people, he was doing the Han people a 'kindness', and selling grain to the Han people who had no grain at the price of 'one big dou, one tael of silver' was a great kindness, and closing the pawnshops to prevent the thieves from selling the stolen goods was a great virtuous policy. But the situation did not get better, on the contrary, it got worse. The first month was the coldest time, especially during the Little Ice Age, the Han people ran away one after another when they ran out of food, so Wild Boar Leather decided to solve the 'problem of people without grain'.
At first, Wild Boar Leather probably did not have the intention to kill, he started with a census, counting the people without grain, and then arrested the 'people without grain', and made a report on the number of men and population.
Book 60, Tianming Ninth Year, First Month
On the fifth day of the first month, he wrote to the ministers who went to measure grain, saying, "According to the Khan's order, to go to Ying 'e, Hechemu, Muqi, Ma' erdun, Zakumu, Fushun, and Tieling Roads, you are not to separate from the people of the Five Bulls Record, and together you are to check the Han people of the Five Bulls Record. Those who have six or seven dou in their mouths are allowed to live. Those who have five dou in their mouths, or those who have livestock, if they are able to live, they are allowed to live. Those who do not have enough, they will be counted as people without grain. Also, make a report on the number of men without grain, and the number of people, and present it to the Khan for his orders. "
He wrote to the ministers west of Gaizhou and east of Wei Ning Camp, saying, "According to the Khan's order, to go to the people of the Five Bulls Record, you are not to separate from the people of the Five Bulls Record, and together you are to check the Han people of the Five Bulls Record. Those who have six or seven dou in their mouths are ordered to set out, and send them to their fields and residences. Those who have five dou in their mouths, or those who have livestock, if they are able to live, they are to be counted as people with grain, and then sent to their households. Those who do not have enough, they are to be counted as people without grain. Those who do not have grain are to be arrested, and the number of men and the number of people, and present it to the Khan for his orders. The Han people's grain is to be measured, and the number of stones in their mouths are to be recorded, and these are to be kept by the ministers who go. Tell Zhu Shen to guard the grain, if even one stone is lost, the minister is to be punished. Do not strip people's cotton robes, do not feed horses with grain. The Han people who grow cotton in Gaizhou and guard the fruit trees, order them to keep three thousand two hundred men. Tell the people of Xiamu City, Jin Ta Temple, Hu Shui Station, Wei Ning Camp, and others within ten, fifteen li of Gaizhou who have grain to stay in the city. "
The next several records related to the 'Manwen Laode Dang' show that the wild boar skin did not intend to kill people at first, it was to make the 'people without grain' into slaves.
Book 61, Tianming Ninth Year, January – June
On the twelfth day, the Khan said, "To the ministers who are going to the grain measurement, when you have measured the grain of the previous depot, immediately send someone to the next depot, and order all the grain to be taken out of the cellar. In this way, the grain outside the cellar will be easy. If you do not send someone in advance to order the grain to be taken out of the cellar, and wait for the person in charge of measuring the grain to arrive at the rear, when will the measurement be completed? Ask in advance whether there is grain or not, if there is grain, immediately take it out and measure it, and do not execute it. Those who do not report, but lie, will execute it together with those who do not have grain. Do not distinguish between day and night, finish it quickly. "
On the twentieth day, each banner sent fifteen ministers to the grain measurement office, and ordered them to complete the task as quickly as possible. He also wrote, "According to the Khan's order: Make a report on the number of men who have grain, the number of people, and the number of grain. The grain will be guarded by the person in charge of measuring. Give Zhushen's grain to the families who have moved in. Tell Zhushen to go and get the grain. The grain of the murdered is the grain in the barn. Make a separate report on the number of the grain. The grain will be guarded by the person in charge of the grain. Make a report on the property, livestock, and other belongings of the murdered. Do not remove the clothes worn by the murdered women and children, whether it is good or bad, bring the original clothes. Those who have five pecks of grain in one mouth, if they have four pecks of grain, if they have oxen and donkeys, they will be counted among the people who have grain. If they do not have oxen and donkeys, they will be counted among the people who have grain. "
On the twenty-first day …
In order to investigate the people living with Zhushen, he wrote, "According to the Khan's order: Han people living with Zhushen, if they have five pecks of grain in one mouth, they will be counted among the people who have grain. If they have four or three pecks of grain in one mouth, if they have oxen and donkeys, they will be counted among the people who have grain. If they do not have oxen and donkeys, they will be taken as slaves."
In the next two entries, Wild Boar Skin said that the Han people who have grain are all "those who steal and kill oxen and horses, burn and accumulate grain, and build houses, they are all bachelors who do not plough the fields, have no grain, do not settle down, and wander everywhere." He ordered the arrest of the "people who have grain":
Book 61: Tianming year nine, first month to sixth month
On the twenty-first day, he wrote, "According to the Khan's order: those who steal and kill oxen and horses, burn and accumulate grain, and build houses, they are all bachelors who do not plough the fields, have no grain, do not settle down, and wander everywhere. As soon as Zhushen and Han people discover these beggars and bachelors, they will be arrested and delivered. If they have wives, they will be rewarded to those who arrest them; if they do not have wives, they will be rewarded with three taels of silver for each person they arrest. Because ever since Liaodong was established, the Han people have not settled down, the captives have not been able to escape, the spies have been running amok, they have not cultivated the fields diligently, therefore His Majesty is angry and has issued an edict. "
Then, Wild Boar Skin seemed to have been provoked by something, and he ordered the execution of all those who had no food.
On the 27th, he sent his men to various places to kill the Han who had no food.
There were only these few words in the record of a bloody massacre. The cause and effect were not mentioned at all!
— — Perhaps after a few years, the officials who sorted out the old files of Man Wen would still have some face and remove some of the content that was not suitable for children.
However, judging from the topic of the killing of the "people without food", during the period when food was sold at the price of drugs, few people who had food left in their families were farmers. Those farmers had worked for a year under the harsh cold of Liaodong. After the exploitation of the Later Jin Dynasty and the extortion of the traitors and bureaucrats, it was difficult to have much food left. That was to say, there were not many people who could meet the standard of "people with food".
These people were the majority of the Liao people. It was these people who were oppressed by both class and nationality. Under the double oppression, they must have hated the Great Japan Empire, oh no, the Inu Qing Empire's class and nationality rule. They fled the most, and their resistance must have been the most fierce. Wild Boar Skin slandered these people as "bachelors who do not plough the fields, do not have food, do not settle down, and wander everywhere". But Wild Boar Skin must have known that these people hated him the most.
Therefore, Wild Boar Skin first made up charges to arrest them and make them slaves. As for why he ordered the execution later — — it was probably because he found that there were too many "people without food", far more than Wild Boar Skin's original estimate. This kind of slaves was large and dangerous. Anyway, there was not enough food for them to survive the famine, so he simply killed them all.
